REMEMBERING HEROES 

VALLEY CELEBRATES MEMORIAL DAY 2009 

BY THOMAS MATTSON 

TRIBUNE STAFF WRITER 

REGION —The disparity between the 

military and regular citizens is perhaps 

never so apparent as during Memorial 

Day celebrations. 

The two vastly different elements of 

society make a grand attempt to mix and 

it is a matter of good will on both sides. 

But, in the end, there is really no way 

a person who has not served in the military 

can understand the other side, 

because sacrifice is a fading thing in 

American society. If citizens gave up 

more, they might comprehend something 

of the military experience. 

Yet, there they were Sunday and 

Monday, bands playing, speeches made, 

eyes straining to catch someone in the 

crowd. 

After all American wars going back to 

the War of Independence, Vietnam 

Marine veteran William Audette told a 

large gathering in Northbridge on 

Monday, this has been the way it is. The 

United States has been in Afghanistan 

and in Iraq longer than in any other war, 

he noted. And people lose interest. 

Support fades. 

“You and I are gathered here today 

‘lest we forget’ — “lest our nation forget 

those who sacrificed… in all our war 

right up to the present day,” Audette 

said. 

He stressed the immeasurable sacrifice 

of a solider who loses his life in war, 

and the grief borne by his (or her) family. 

“Americans say they love their men 

and women in uniform,” Audette said. “I 

don’t doubt that for a minute, but some 

disturbing realities have surfaced.”

Marzec defeats Murray to 

retain seat in Northbridge 

NEWS ANALYSIS 



NORTHBRIDGE — Incumbent 

James Marzec held off the challenge 

of George Murray, a former School 

Committee chairman, to earn a second 

three-year term on the Board of 

Selectmen. 

Marzec compiled 808 votes to 672 

for Murray, a 64-year-old, longtime 

staff member of the school district. 

Marzec took three out of the four 

town precincts — 1, 3 and 4. Murray 

had a 54-vote edge in Precinct 2, 

which includes Rockdale and an 

area extending west and southwest 

of that village. Murray is a resident 

of Precinct 2 and Marzec of 

Precinct 4. 

In a way, it was a classic contest 

between a local personage (Murray) 

with wide connections throughout 

James Marzec 

File photo 

town over the years and a relative 

newcomer (Marzec). 

Perhaps ironically, the new high 

school, in relation to which Murray 

had such a strong role in influencing 

the selection of an architect, 

was probably voted in because of 

the influx of new people to 

Northbridge. In previous attempts 

to get a new high school, voters 

turned down a $4.1 million proposal 

in 1971 and agreed to half a loaf in 

the 1980s — renovations and some 

new additions to the current middle 

school, which was the high school 

until September 2001. It was not 

until enough newcomers had 

arrived in town by the late 1990s that 

a new high school was approved. 

Some 1,491 of the town’s 9,408 registered 

voters — 15.8 percent of the 

electorate — cast ballots in the 

Tuesday, May 19 election. 

“I am certainly pleased to have the 

opportunity to serve the residents of 

Northbridge for another three 

years,” Marzec said. “And I’m honored.”

Write-in votes make 

Pitman a selectman 

BY ANDY LEVIN 


UXBRIDGE — A successful 

stealth candidacy for selectman and 

the defeat of an incumbent School 

Committee member turned an 

ostensibly mundane election into 

an intriguing evening. 

Beth Pitman earned a three-year 

term on the Board of Selectmen 

with an eleventh-hour write-in campaign 

that garnered 540 votes at the 

annual election on Tuesday, May 19. 

Incumbent Cari Robertson’s 646 voters 

topped that contest, giving her a 

full term on the board after she won 

a special election last summer. 

Mark Stacy seemed poised to take 

a seat on the Board of Selectmen, 

but on election day his 308 votes fell 

far short of Pitman’s total. 

In the only other contest, William 

Robertson won a three-year term on 

the School Committee, ousting veteran 

politician Peter Baghdasarian 

from his seat. Baghdasarian, a longtime 

member of the Board of 

Selectmen, served a single term on 

the School Committee. 

School Committee incumbents 

Mason Seagrave Jr. and Michelle 

Taparausky were reelected with 619 

and 618 votes, respectively. William 

Robertson had 529 votes, 

Baghdasarian 409. The former is 

Cari Robertson’s husband. 

Town Clerk Joseph Kaplan said 

992, or 12 percent, of the town’s 

approximately 8,600 registered voters 

turned out to cast a ballot last 

week. Buzz about a write-in candidacy 

for the Board of Selectmen 

began to emerge only days before 

the election, according to Kaplan. 

“It’s not very common to see a 

write-in win when there are names

Northbridge students fast to feed the hungry 



NORTHBRIDGE —A lot of Northbridge 

High School students know what it’s like to go 

without eating for a day and a half. 

By signing up sponsors, 98 students raised 

$7,656 they donated to World Vision during 

spring break to help alleviate famine around 

the world. 

According to Christine Johnson, principal, 

it’s the first time anything like that has been 

done at the school. 

Americans think of spring vacation as a 

time college kids cavort in the surf at Ft. 

Lauderdale and environs. And although that 

may not be the traditionally usual destination 

of high school kids at this time of year, plenty 

of high school students feel they do need a 

break from the daily grind of coursework and 

all the other responsibilities they have to shoulder. 

But these students took a page out of something 

ascetics have specialized in over the centuries. 

And they added yet another dimension. 

They did work during their fast. 

Some 69 girls and 29 boys — 33 of them members 

of the National Honor Society — took part 

in the multi-service project sponsored by the 

Bernice T. Plante Chapter of the National 

Honor Society. 

Three seniors — Amy Holmes. Lynnzie 

Marinaccio, and Grace Pimentel — gave a presentation 

on the event to the School Committee 

May 12. 

The event took place from 1 p.m. Friday, April 

16, to 7 p.m. Saturday, April 18. 

Eleven parents chaperoned, and 14 teachers 

took shifts chaperoning, as well as three 

administrators. 

During the event, some 62 girls took part in a 

Rape Aggression Defense class conducted by 

Police Officers Jeremy Blood, Lisa LaSala, 

Brian Patinelli and Kristina Westbury as well 

as members of the Sutton Police Department. 

The high schoolers sponsored a movie night 

for kindergarten through fourth-graders from 

6 to 8:30 p.m. so that parents could go out. The 

kids watched “Horton Hears a Who.” There 

were also games. 

The students also made 22 blankets for 

Project Linus. Boys washed classroom whiteboards 

and all the chairs in the cafeteria. 

On Saturday morning, students took part in 

a cleanup of the Mumford River, the high 

school campus, and the Whitin Community 

Center through Envirothon. 

The event concluded with a meal of pizza, 

pasta and drinks donated by Uno’s Restaurant 

of Millbury. 

Where did the idea come from? 

“Amy (Holmes) didn’t think Northbridge 

High did enough,” said Grace Pimentel, “so we 

(including Lynnzie Marinaccio) decided we 

had to do something else.” 

All three are members of the National Honor 

Society.

“Once I went 28 hours without eating,” 

said Pimentel of a church event in 2006. “It 

was harder the first time because I didn’t 

stay hydrated then. We could have water 

and fruit juice this time. The first time was 

painful, the second time just tiring. We had 

no energy at all. We knew we had to pull 

through it for a better cause.” 

“Most of the activities were in the field 

house and theater,” said Holmes, “and the 

cleanup outside.” 

“It was a very valuable experience for 

everybody involved,” said Lynnzie 

Marinaccio. “We not only help a global 

cause but make a difference in our community.” 

“Every year,” Marinaccio said, “we pick 

an international charity and we picked 

World Vision [this year] and the 30-hour 

‘famine’ is an event they run.” 

The students charged each young moviegoer 

$3 to help the cause. 

“We bought fabrics at Jo-Ann’s Fabrics 

and we had people working on it,” said 

Pimentel. 

“You just cut and tie and the blankets are 

sent to kids in hospitals and to abused 

kids,” said Marinaccio. “The blankets are 

three-by-five feet and in two different colors.” 

As for the hunger, Marinaccio said she 

“didn’t think it was that bad, because I was 

busy.” 

“I think it was difficult but was absolutely 

worth it,” said Holmes. “I feel we… needed to 

do this to help World Vision and our community.” 

“The biggest thing I learned was about leadership, 

and maintaining control of such a large 

group of kids,” said Holmes. “You don’t know 

what it’s like to be in charge of 100 kids.” 

“I definitely learned a lot about leadership 

and planning,” said Pimentel. “We organized 

all the community activities. Usually there’s 

one project, but we wanted to do a lot more 

than that. I learned a lot of physical pain is definitely 

worth it to help so many people. The 

reward is so much greater. I would do it again.” 

“I was honestly surprised everything went so 

well,” said Marinaccio. 

“I was surprised everyone went to sleep on 

time (11 p.m.),”said Pimentel. “There were no 

problems. Everybody was well behaved. I don’t 

think anyone complained.” 

Seniors participating included Caroline 

Bartlett, Courtney Beauregard, Lindsay 

Castonguay, Amanda Consigli, Lindsey 

Daoust, Amanda Donati, Amy Holmes, Emily 

Lawson, Mercedez Lemieux, Lauren Maguire, 

Lynnzie Marinaccio, Elizabeth Phelan, Grace

Bus driver charged with 

abandoning youngster 

BY ANDY LEVIN 


REGION — The district attorney’s office 

has charged an Uxbridge man with reckless 

endangerment of a child in relation to a May 

11 incident in which a three-year-old boy was 

left alone on a Northbridge school bus. 

Peter Quinlan, 69, was charged Thursday, 

May 21 in Uxbridge District Court. He will be 

formally arraigned on the charge June 15. 

Quinlan has been fired from his job as a bus 

driver for Franklin-based Vendetti Motors, 

the company contracted by the school district 

to provide transportation. Quinlan was 

reportedly involved in a similar incident last 

year in which a five-year-old was left on a bus. 

According to Northbridge police, the boy, 

who is a special needs student, got on the 

school bus at 8:25 a.m. He was one of six children 

on a 23-seat bus with accessibility to the 

handicapped. Quinlan took the children to 

two schools — Northbridge Elementary and 

Balmer, the latter the location where the boy 

was supposed to be dropped off. 

The toddler was not discovered on the bus 

until almost five hours later. He was 

unharmed, according to school officials. 

UXBRIDGE — May has officially 

been declared as Military 

Appreciation Month. Uxbridge 

Supports Our Troops (USOT) 

hopes to continue the mission of 

collecting and sending comforts 

of home to active military members 

currently stationed overseas. 

Of course, this effort is fully supported 

by community donations. 

The group is thrilled to announce 

a raffle kick-off of a most exquisite, 

hand crafted, queen-size 

quilt. 

The quilt is hand crafted by 

local quilters who wanted to show 

their appreciation for the troops 

by making and donating this quilt 

for the purpose of raising funds 

to help USOT continue its mission. 

The quilt’s design is 

“Burgoyne Surrounded,” and is 

hand crafted locally, as well as 

machine quilted by Debbie Wendt 

of Uxbridge. 

The Burgoyne Surrounded 

Quilt is named after a British 

General, John Burgoyne, the gentleman 

credited with losing 

America during the American 

Revolution. In June 1777, 700 

British soldiers gathered in 

Canada under “Gentleman 

Johnny” Burgoyne. He planned to 

end the war by moving his 

Redcoats down from Canada to 

Albany, sealing New England off 

VALLEY NOTEBOOK 

Moore votes no on taxes 

Sen. Richard Moore, D-Uxbridge, refused to 

toe the party line last week, voting against a 

series of tax increase proposals that were part 

of the fiscal year 2010 budget debate. 

The Senate ultimately approved raising the 

state sales tax from 5 percent to 6.25 percent, 

though separate plans to hike the income tax 

and gasoline tax were defeated. The sales tax 

measure, which was approved by the House 

earlier this month, passed the Senate on a 29-10 

vote. 

“Consumer confidence is at an all time low 

and an increase in the sales tax will not only 

provide an unstable source of revenue, but will 

also make it more difficult for people with 

lower incomes to make necessary purchases,” 

Moore said. “As a legislator who represents a 

district that borders two states with sales taxes 

of 6 percent and 7 percent, respectively, we cannot 

afford to further challenge our local businesses 

during this time of economic uncertainty.” 

Moore explained that while Rhode Island, at 

7 percent, would continue to have a higher rate 

than Massachusetts, the sales tax hike narrows 

the difference substantially and could deter 

residents of the Ocean State from crossing the 

border north to shop. Moore’s Worcester & 

Norfolk district also contains several towns 

that abut northeastern Connecticut, where the 

sales tax rate is 6 percent. 

If given final approval as part of the FY10 

from the southern colonies. 

There he would be met by 

Redcoats sent north from New 

York by General Howe. Enraged, 

blue clad American colonists 

from New England swarmed 

around Burgoyne like “birds of 

prey” at Saratoga. Four days later, 

Burgoyne surrendered his entire 

force. Worse, General Howe never 

sent the promised help from New 

York, but instead left for 

Philadelphia. Saratoga proved to 

be the turning point of the war, 

because it convinced France to 

become America’s ally. 

The quilt pattern depicts an 

actual battle from the American 

Revolution. The chains of small 

squares represent regiments of 

Redcoats from the British armies 

of Burgoyne, marching from 

Canada, and General Howe, 

marching from New York. The 

circle represents militiamen from 

New England, surrounding 

Burgoyne in Saratoga, New York, 

represented by the large center. 

Currently, the quilt is being displayed 

at All About Quilts, located 

at 958 Main St., Walpole.

and please consider purchasing 

raffle tickets for this beautiful 

quilt, which will be raffled off at 

the end of January 2010. Tickets 

are on sale now and may be purchased 

for $1 per chance or six for 

state budget, the sales tax increase would produce 

an estimated $633 million, Moore said. 

Several programs and initiatives that were 

originally eliminated from the spending plan 

were restored, albeit at lower than present 

levels, with the tax increase. 

Moore drew praise for his votes from 

Barbara Anderson, executive director of 

Citizens for Limited Taxation and often a 

harsh critic of Beacon Hill politics. 

“It is nice to hear strong speeches from old 

Democratic friends on behalf of the taxpayers 

and the economy,” Anderson stated. “On 

behalf of Citizen for Limited Taxation members, 

we thank you.” 

Additionally, Moore submitted several 

amendments to the budget that seek to eliminate 

government waste: 

• A plan to close tax loopholes through 

online purchases by having the state abide by 

the Streamlined Sales Tax Agreement 

• A proposal to study government efficiency 

as part of a goal of eliminating waste and 

duplication 

• A study to find the best ways to streamline 

the state’s Centers of Excellence, which 

examine quality and performance of the 

health care system 

• Establishment of a Comparative Cost 

Effectiveness Institute, which would examine, 

research and issue guidelines on the 

effectiveness of medical procedures, drugs, 

devices and biologics 

Unfortunately, Moore noted after final passage 

of the Senate budget, most of the amendments 

were not accepted by the majority.

Hats off to 

graduates 

“There is a good reason they call these ceremonies 

‘commencement exercises.’ Graduation 

is not the end; it’s the beginning.” — Orrin 

Hatch 

Hatch’s words are often repeated in commencement 

speeches — so much so, 

that they hover dangerously close to 

“cliché” territory. 

But that doesn’t mean they aren’t true. 

We can’t believe it’s already that time of year. 

It seems like only yesterday that students and 

teachers were preparing for another school 

year, prepping their classrooms, sharpening 

their pencils and getting their brains ready 

for another year’s worth of knowledge. 

That was nearly nine months ago. 

Fast-forward to today, and we see just how 

much our high schools’ students have accomplished 

in and out of the classroom. Sports 

accomplishments, academic awards, special 

trips — you name it, our kids have done it, 

and as your local newspaper covering it all, 

we couldn’t be prouder. 

High school graduation is a benchmark 

moment in a young man or woman’s life, a 

time of great change, the end and the beginning 

of an era. 

Graduates, you should be proud of what you 

have accomplished. You are carrying the 

torch of the future of our world. It sounds 

like an overdramatic thing to say, but it is 

undoubtedly true. The future is in your 

hands. 

So with that in mind, remember this. You 

have a great responsibility not only to use 

what you have learned to improve yourselves, 

but to take what you have gained and apply it 

to helping others. What greater reward is 

there than helping out your fellow man? 

Material success may feel good, but it is fleeting. 

The best rewards are those that are 

gained within. 

It has been our honor to cover all our schools 

over the past year, and we look forward to seeing 

what the students have in store in 2010! 

As for our graduation coverage, check out the 

Friday, June 5 and 12 editions for our collection 

of pictures and memories from the area’s 

graduations. 

We wish all the graduates a prosperous future 

as they head off to college, the military, to 

pursue a trade, or anything else their hearts 

desire.

OPINION 

Opinion and commentary from the Blackstone Valley and beyond 

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR 

I must say I was impressed by Kristina 

Reardon’s recent column regarding cell 

phone use while driving, especially since 

she is of the Millennial Generation that hasn’t 

known life before cell phones. 

What I’m wondering is- where’s the outrage 

from the rest of us? Where is the 

Parents Against Cell Phones & Texting 

While Driving? My guess is they’re probably 

on their cell phones. 

Come on Gen X — surely you must 

remember being Kristina’s age a mere 15-20 

years ago. Don’t you remember driving 

across town, across the state, or maybe even 

across the country without a cell phone? 

‘Idol’ Talk 

There are many things in 

our culture that I do not 

like, and reality television 

is one of them. 

But the second I proclaim 

that I absolutely dislike something, 

or that I will never, 

under any circumstances — 

like, never ever ever — do 

something, of course an exception 

to that rule comes waltzing 

my way. Case in point: “American Idol.” 

I, like the almost 100 million other insane 

Americans who voted in last week’s finale 

showdown between Adam Lambert and 

Kris Allen, watch this show. I do not know 

why. I rarely watch television; in fact, I 

don’t even have cable in my graduate 

school apartment, and no channels — not 

even PBS — come in on my small TV. The 

screen is full of old-fashioned gray and 

black fuzz accompanied by a loud whirring 

sound. 

This, in turn, makes my “Idol” obsession 

even more pathetic. Without a working television, 

I had to constantly seek out invitations 

to friends’ and co-workers’ homes to 

view my favorite show, twice a week, for 

around 20 or so weeks in a row this spring. 

Truly, this is nonsensical. 

First you have to find someone who is 

willing to admit they watch American Idol, 

and that they watch it on a regular basis. 

That conversation can be risky. For years I 

have kept my love of Idol under wraps, so 

that only family and a few close friends 

know that, each spring, I sit on the edge of 

my seat waiting to hear Simon Cowell’s 

proclamations. 

As an English major in college and as a 

graduate student studying writing, my 

friends laughed at me. Didn’t “Idol” represent 

the opposite of everything I believed 

in as a writer? they would ask. Didn’t the 

perpetuation of something like “Idol” 

mean that someone would be more likely to 

pick up a gossip magazine than one of my 

own newspaper articles, or read a mainstream 

chic-lit book rather than the novel 

about the relationships between mothers 

and daughters that I’m working on writing? 

The answer to their questions is obviously: 

yes. 

The reason I don’t care and continue to 

watch Idol, continue to vote, continue to 

get worked up about finales, upset-wins, 

and the excitement of sparkling confetti 

falling while the winner sings a cheesy 

song with bad lyrics in Hollywood? Well, 

that’s a little bit more complicated. 

I’m not even sure if I truly can pinpoint 

the reason why, and I loved it this season 

more than ever. Maybe it’s because the 

Hang up already 

Perhaps this is our call to action. Let’s set 

an example and hang up already! 

Yes, I do have a cell phone, but I have 

never used it while driving. It’s not that my 

or my children’s lives are any less busy than 

anyone else’s these days; it’s just that I can’t 

imagine any phone call or text being worth 

the risk. Though we may think it’s our right 

to use cell phones while driving, it remains 

our responsibility to drive neither distracted 

nor impaired.

excitement of the presidential 

election was over and I 

needed something new to 

talk about. After all, the 

more traditional and safe 

performances by Kris Allen 

paired up against the riskier, 

flashier performances of 

Adam Lambert got my mind 

back into the conservative 

vs. liberal political mindset. 

Maybe it’s because I crave something to 

talk about, and in an academic environment 

which tends to look down on things 

like Idol, sharing a passion about a silly 

show can make you fast friend with your 

fellow fans. While others debate the merits 

of the third person omniscient voice as 

opposed to first person narrative in a particular 

text, I can lean over and whisper 

about the merits of song choices by contestants 

on disco week. 

Clearly, my conversation is more deep 

and meaningful. 

At minimum, it’s an escape from the 

work week, a fun jaunt into Hollywood 

with amateurs who you can cheer for, or 

laugh at, or cringe at, whichever you’d prefer. 

Watching Idol with me is like watching 

a game with a hardcore sports fan; I’m 

cringing, groaning, cheering, commenting 

in cryptic statements when no one wants to 

hear what I have to say. 

“Oh, Randy!” I exclaimed at each of the 

two finale shows last week. “You need to 

learn how to look in the mirror before 

walking out of your dressing room!” If you 

saw the multi-colored polka dot tie, checkered 

jacked, and oddly printed shirt, you 

know what I mean. 

Or, when I see a good performance—the 

likes of which America saw in Adam and 

Kris’s first songs, “Mad World” and “Ain’t 

No Sunshine”: “Oooh, good. Good, good.” 

Or, on the week that my then-favorite 

contestant Danny Gokey let out a piercing 

scream that was straight out of a horror 

movie as part of an artistic reinterpretation 

of some rock song: “Eek, Danny, no!” 

As pop music commentators across the 

country hotly debate whether or not Kris 

Allen should have won over the anticipated 

winner, Adam Lambert, I can only listen in 

with glee, content that “Idol” talk is lasting 

a bit longer; after all, the show won’t be on 

again until January 2010. 

And maybe by then — long after all the 

hype has died down, the summer tour has 

wrapped up, and summer has come and 

gone — I’ll be able to figure out why in the 

world I love watching this show. 

Kristina Reardon, of 

Tribune columnist. 

Uxbridge, is a 

Different 

Careers 

They say you can be anything you want. 

But sometimes I wonder if that is so. 

The list I can make out of the things I 

don’t think I am all that suitable for is pretty 

long. 

Then there are things that are “maybes.” 

And of course there are those few things that 

seem entirely suitable. 

Sometimes you can see yourself doing certain 

things in a profession, but not other 

things. 

For example, I cannot see myself ever getting 

a hit in the major leagues. I have tried 

those batting 

cages that 

deliver the ball 

at 75 miles an 

hour and I can’t 

MUSINGS 

react fast 

enough with 

the bat. And in 

THOMAS 

the majors they 

throw it 

MATTSON 

between 90 and 

100 miles an 

hour. 

Maybe a high fly to the outfield I could handle 

if there were no breeze to throw me off. 

But when I saw Mike Lowell field a hot 

grounder at third barehanded and throw the 

runner out at first, I had a moment of awe. I 

can, in utter ignorance, imagine being 

Jonathan Papelbon more easily than Mike 

Lowell. Dustin Pedroia’s determination and 

Jacoby Ellsbury’s speed leave me nonplussed. 

I don’t even think covering major league 

ball for a publication would be all that easy. 

Not because of putting down what happens. 

But dealing with the range of moods a game 

creates. 

The thing about playing on the P.G.A. tour 

that would most upset me is something that 

doesn’t seem to daunt the pros. And that is 

making sure I hit a straight drive when spectators 

are lined up on either side, leaving only 

a narrow path for the ball. I mean, I once saw 

a not very good pro hit a near-shank over the 

heads of a crowd. But the crowd never knew it 

because the tee was so high above and he was 

headed in the opposite direction. 

Competitive swimming and diving I can 

see, and maybe tennis. But tennis at the top 

level can have pretty impressive speeds to 

handle. 

As for occupations, doctor, lawyer and 

Indian chief are often listed together. I think 

being a lawyer has more latitude than the 

other two jobs. 

I used to think working on Wall Street 

would be easy, but not calming. Easy because 

I never thought those people had to know a 

whole lot about what they were doing, once 

they got the basic moves down. 

We all thought someone was minding the 

store but it turns out nobody was. 

Teaching apparently has a wide appeal, 

especially in public schools. The range of ability 

seems pretty obvious. Everyone gets paid 

about the same amount, depending on length 

of service. Perhaps that’s the way it is with 

Indian chiefs, too. 

Department of Public Works employees 

have to do a lot of hard work in cold and hot 

weather and it seems they are not getting rich. 

Police can make large salaries at a young 

age. It doesn’t take them as long to get way up 

there compared, say, to teachers. Firefighters 

do things that most people understand as a 

critical service. 

A social worker in Massachusetts handles a 

lot of stressful matters and the median salary 

in Massachusetts is just under $45,000. 

Presidential candidates routinely described 

the middle class as any household bringing in 

up to $249,999. 

Yet state and federal programs often help 

only people whose household income is under 

a fraction of that figure. Median household 

incomes during the 2000 census tended to be 

around $62,000 in Valley towns. And incomes 

have probably not risen a whole lot since then, 

except for contractual employees who get a 

cost-of-living increase every year. 

I have a theory that some people just plain 

attract money and others don’t. I am not sure 

it has anything to do with any obvious relation 

to production. Conservatives have told 

me that if you took away everyone’s money 

and put it in a big pile, the ones who have it 

now will be the same ones who have it later. 

That distribution of income is a constant no 

matter what the circumstances. That may be 

true, but I doubt it. 

I like to think it has something to do with 

effort and/or imagination or both. And risktaking. 

Most people are averse to risk. 

I would say that a young person who is not 

afraid of venturing something, who may even 

fail again and again, is a better risk for investment 

than someone who has only tried one 

thing in life that happened to be successful. 

Farming used to appeal to me, but only on a 

small scale. 

My father kept trying to buy a farmhouse 

with a few acres but my mother complained it 

would be she who would get stuck with doing 

all the work. Of course she was right. But the 

idea of plucking a couple of eggs from 

beneath a hen always had its appeal. 

All a New Englander needs is three to five 

acres to feel like a farmer. If you are growing 

food just for your own family, that feeling 

makes sense.

OPINION 

No ‘Profile in Courage’ 

Ihave been writing these columns 

for over nine months or so. I 

have written about the presidential 

election, my liberal views and 

maybe covered a couple of other 

general areas. 

But, despite my years of experience 

in the political wars of 

Uxbridge, I haven’t commented 

about my hometown — until now. 

The events of this last town election 

bear comment. Within the 

space of three days a woman went 

from being a political unknown to a 

new selectmen. The woman, Beth 

Pitman, was certainly not an 

unknown to those of us with kids. 

She is a great mom and she has supported 

her son and daughter in both 

their educational pursuits and their 

participation in sports. She has volunteered 

in many arenas. She is also 

a talented marketing professional. 

She will, based on my knowledge of 

what makes a good selectman, probably 

end up being a great one. But 

whether she succeeds at that level or 

not is not what makes her election 

so interesting, and in my view, so 

ON THE 

LEFT 

ART 

DUBOIS 

necessary. 

There were two candidates on the 

ballot for selectman with just two 

seats open. The candidate she 

sought to defeat had many good 

qualities. I was prepared to see him 

get elected and I guess I was kind of 

all right with that. He may well have 

done a good job, but he made one big 

mistake. 

At one of the debates he stated 

that he would block a general election 

ballot vote for a new high school 

in Uxbridge, even if a Town Meeting 

vote called for such an election. 

Some years ago this happened. The 

threshold for setting a town ballot 

election for a debt exclusion vote is a 

two-thirds majority by the Board of 

Selectmen. Because Uxbridge has a 

five-member board, that means four 

out of five of the sitting selectmen 

must vote to set the ballot. Due to 

one current member having already 

having voted to block the ballot in 

the past, the election of Mark Stacy 

could have meant that the will of the 

voters could have been ignored 

again. 

The reason the law makes it difficult 

to set a ballot is consistent with 

its tax limitation intent. However, 

having a five-person Board of 

Selectmen — instead of a three-person 

board that was typical at the 

time the legislation was passed — 

raised the mathematical threshold 

from two-thirds, or 67 percent, to 

four fifths, or 80 percent. Three votes 

of a five-person board would only 

amount to 60 percent. 

I argue two points here. First, I 

don’t believe the Legislature ever 

intended such a vote to need to meet 

an 80 percent threshold, but that is 

what happens in Uxbridge. I also 

think that a member of a Board of 

Selectmen voting against setting a 

ballot when Town Meeting has 

approved it had better have solid 

reasons. That is, new, startling information 

would have to have emerged 

that was not available to Town 

Meeting. Or, perhaps, Town Meeting 

barely had a quorum because of a 

comet having hit the town and a lot 

of people were huddled in their cellars. 

The point is that it should take 

a lot for a member of a Board of 

Selectmen to say he or she knows 

better than those persons who 

attended a Town Meeting. 

Remember that setting a ballot is 

not an endorsement of the matter to 

be voted upon. Setting a ballot is an 

administrative duty that should not 

be interrupted unless the reasons 

are compelling. 

There was a quote I remember 

from then state representative, now 

Senator Richard Moore’s office, 

when I was an intern there. It was 

from Edmund Burke and said: 

“Your representative owes you, not 

his industry only, but his judgment; 

and he betrays instead of serving 

you if he sacrifices it to your opinion.” 

I always look to this standard 

to test my read on the issues of the 

day. The John F. Kennedy Library’s 

Profile in Courage Award, and 

indeed President Kennedy’s own 

book of that name, champions those 

politicians and public servants who 

take or have taken unpopular decisions 

based on conscience and reason. 

Going against setting a ballot for a 

vote for a new school does not reach 

this precious peak. To compare that 

position to a “profile in courage” 

does not square with me. Each taxpayer 

in a small town is capable of 

examining this kind of issue when 

the time comes and voting according 

to his or her wishes, budget and 

conscience. There is no profile in 

courage for denying someone the 

right to vote. 

Art Dubois, of Uxbridge, is a former 

selectman. 

It has been reported that the 

Egyptian government has 

begun to aggressively combat 

any potential spread of the 

Swine Flu virus. 

In fact, Egypt has so fiercely 

engaged in tackling this growing 

pandemic that its drastic 

methods have even caught the 

attention of some animal 

rights activists. The activists’ 

outrage centers around an infamous 

YouTube video on which a few earnest 

Egypt sanitation workers are seen bludgeoning 

hundreds of pigs to death with iron bars. 

It is alleged that so far only 26 people have 

died in Egypt of the much-dreaded disease, 

but apparently this is not stopping the government 

from taking the most aggressive measures 

to forestall the potentially devastating 

consequences of the virus spreading to the 

general population. 

Reportedly the goal is to have all the pigs in 

Egypt exterminated by the end of six months. 

One is almost tempted to think that the government 

of Egypt has literally issued a Fatwa 

against the unsuspecting pigs of the land. Yet 

truth is sometimes, as they say, stranger than 

fiction. 

Swine Flu ‘Final Solution’ 

CONTRA 

MUNDUM 

MIGUEL 

GUANIPA 

A Middle East news Website 

has in fact reported that 

Sheikh Ahmad Ali Othman, 

the superintendent of Da’wa 

affairs at the Egyptian 

Ministry of Religious 

Endowments, has indeed 

issued such a fatwa already, 

ordering that all pigs in Egypt 

be slaughtered. But the reasons 

behind this Fatwa have been 

deemed by the World Health 

Organization as lacking sufficient scientific 

basis. Moreover, its possible motivation may 

also soon come under international scrutiny. 

It would be reasonable to assume that 

Egyptian officials are merely taking every 

precaution to mitigate the impact of the H1N1 

virus pandemic on their country. At the same 

time, it has also been disclosed that Sheikh 

Ahmad Ali Othman personally believes that 

one of the reasons Islam forbids its followers 

from eating pork meat is because today’s 

swine are allegedly the direct descendant of 

the patriarch Moses’ fellow wilderness wanderers 

depicted in the Old Testament scriptures. 

Mr. Othman craftily employs the Koran in 

support of this thesis. The latter relates how 

the prophet Muhammad strictly forbade his 

followers from eating swine meat. Othman 

amplifies on this peculiar exegesis of the text 

by claiming that Jesus — considered a slightly 

minor prophet in Islamic culture — is also 

scheduled to participate in the slaughter of 

swine come Judgment Day. For Mr. Othman, 

this represents irrefutable proof that the 

wretched mammals are to be included as part 

of the Jewish genealogy. 

Luckily, a semblance of common sense 

seems to have prevailed. 

After Mr. Othman offered his rather peculiar 

theological assessment, he was challenged 

by another prominent official, Sheikh 

Ali Abu Al-Hassan, head of the Al-Azhar 

Fatwa Committee, who flatly contradicted 

Sheikh Othman’s assertion. 

Sheikh Al-Hassan explained that the divine 

punishment — which manifested itself in the 

form of a devolutionary mutation of sorts 

against the transgressing Jews who were 

turned into swine — actually affected only a 

number of Moses’ followers with whom Allah 

was very angry. Furthermore, those who were 

changed into pigs and apes perished with 

their generation and did not have occasion to 

engage in the act of copulation. Hence they 

did not leave any offspring from which there 

would be any such progeny occupying the 

pens of local Egyptian farmers. Thus he 

declared Mr. Othman’s claim of any Semitic 

ancestors from victims of bad Jewish Karma, 

as it were, to be partly erroneous. 

Sheikh Ahmad also emphasized that this 

was a highly unusual type of punishment 

from the Almighty, which in all likelihood has 

not been repeated since. Oddly enough, he was 

not asked by his peers to comment on whether 

or not, in his own view, this unprecedented, 

“transformative” phase in Jewish history 

would have constituted a positive step forward 

in the evolutionary chain; after all, even one of 

the U.S. president’s own advisors has gone so 

far as to compare a beauty contestant to the 

canine species. 

Speaking of whom, one wonders if this bit 

of international news may serve as a 

reminder to President Obama of the arguably 

insurmountable cultural and religious hurdles 

that must be negotiated if one is to insist 

on demanding a more tolerant approach from 

the nation of Israel towards its presumably 

peace loving and respectful Arab neighbors.

Tribune columnist 

Iused to dream about being 

a professional basketball 

player. 

After all, I already had the 

right last name. Now all I needed 

was the skill. So I shot hoops 

in our back yard. And I shot. 

And I shot. And I shot. 

I challenged — and lost to — 

just about every kid in our 

neighborhood. When our 

church’s youth group team 

held tryouts — and when I was eligible — I 

tried out and gave it everything I had. I guess 

I made an impression, because, after failing to 

make the final cut, the coach called and said 

he was forced to pick someone he didn’t want 

to. So they added me as a reserve. 

When I hit high school, I tried out for the 

JV’s. Didn’t make it. So I decided to hang out 

with the varsity guys. I became their “manager,” 

which basically meant I held on to their 

jocks and dirty towels. 

But at least I was around the game of basketball. 

I would later go on to coach in my 

town’s youth league and at a private 

Worcester school for one year. 

In high school, however, it became quite 

apparent that I was not destined to be the next 

Bird to lead the Boston Celtics to greatness. So 

I turned my attention to other endeavors. 

New show nothing to be ‘gleeful’ about 

BIRD’S 

NEST 

WALTER 

BIRD JR. 

I ran cross-country. I ran 

track. True story: One day, on 

the advice of a really good 

friend, I drank a lot of milk 

with lunch. A couple hours 

later, during a meet behind our 

school, I threw up all over the 

place. Yup, great friend. Lesson 

learned. 

I ran for Good Government 

Day representative, but lost out 

to Chris Hamel — who, by the 

way, I recently hooked up with by way of that 

great technological advancement, Facebook. 

I served on the Yearbook Committee. I 

played — OK, I showed up — for the Chess 

Team. I was a member of the Math Team. 

Good experiences, all of them, but why mention 

them here? 

Because, as I remember it, none of these 

things ever had a TV show made about them. 

On Tuesday, right after we (uh, I mean some 

of us, not me, of course) listened to Adam and 

Chris duel it out on “American Idol,” Fox 25 

premiered its new show, “Glee.” It is, according 

to Fox, “a one-hour musical comedy that 

follows an optimistic high school teacher as 

he tries to transform the Glee Club and 

inspire a group of ragtag performers to make 

it to the biggest competition of all: Nationals.” 

Now, while I may or may not be a closet 

“Idol” fan, I had no intentions of watching 

“Glee,” so I can’t say whether it’s a good or bad 

show. 

What I can say is, when I was in school, you 

didn’t brag about being in the Glee Club. Your 

parents did. Your grandmother did. But you 

didn’t. 

Glee Club is where all the … “gleeful” kids 

went. 

By their very membership, they were open 

season to taunts, ridicule and other various 

forms of mockery. 

It was kinda like band, until some of my 

friends joined — and then it became cool to 

tote around a tuba. 

Just listen to its name. “Glee Club.” Not 

something you want to tell your friends, the 

ones who signed up for the cool-sounding 

groups. 

“Dude, I just joined Drama Club!” 

Drama Club. 

It just sounds plain cool, doesn’t it? I’m in 

the “Drama Club.” You could say it with a cool 

voice, too, a little Clint Eastwood rasp in it. 

“I’m in the Drama Club.” 

Or, “Dude, I’m in Project Outward Bound!” 

How can that not be cool, right? I mean the 

name alone rings of adventure, daring do and 

endless possibilities. After all, you’re heading 

“outward.” You’re “bound” for destinations 

outside of the everyday routine. 

It almost conjures up images of swashbuckling 

pirates. Or, maybe not. But it sounds cool. 

And then you pipe up, in your best, beginning-of-puberty 

cracking voice, “I joined the 

Glee Club!” 

Yeah, do that in some circles and you’re putting 

your life in your own hands. 

The Glee Club. Are you kidding me? 

One of the characters in this new show 

apparently is a jock who secretly yearns to 

sing. 

Listen, if you’re in high school and the stud 

jock suddenly joins the chorus or the glee 

club, he ain’t joining to be voted best tenor, 

OK? No, it’s because the hottest girl in school 

is in it, and he’s on the make. 

Period. 

No offense to all you … what do they call 

Glee Club members? Glee-ers? Glee Clubbers? 

Glees? 

Singing and performing are noble pursuits. 

My brothers and I used to put on plays in our 

back yard to raise money for various causes. 

And I’ll admit to being a proud shower singer. 

But neither would make a good TV show. 

Well, maybe “Shower Singer” would, but only 

if I could get a body double.

Northbridge High honors Vietnam veterans 

NORTHBRIDGE — Over 200 students, 

primarily members of the 

class of 2010, faculty and staff, 

joined for an assembly on Thursday, 

May 21, in the theater of 

Northbridge High School to honor 

local Vietnam veterans. 

“Thank a veteran for the freedom 

we all enjoy” said Christine 

Johnson, principal. 

Beginning with greetings from 

Social Studies department chair 

Jennifer Sauter, veterans and invited 

guests were greeted by a spirited 

rendition of “The Washington Post 

March” by the NHS concert band 

under the direction of Music 

Director Joseph Pepin. Cassandra 

McGrath, president of the class of 

2010, gave welcoming remarks and 

led the assembly in the Pledge of 

Allegiance. 

A quartet of Megan Brochu, 

Danyelle Doldoorian, Meagan 

Fleming and Rachel Vera performed 

the National Anthem a cappella. 

Pepin directed the NHS chorus in a 

medley of patriotic songs titled 

“America, My Country.” 

A feature of the gathering was the 

remarks of three veterans, former 

Northbridge Selectman William 

Audette, NHS class of ’67, who 

served in the Marine Corps. 

Thomas Foley who served in the 

Army, and NHS English teacher 

Matthew Reilly, who also served in 

the Marine Corps with Marine 

Attack Squadron 311 (VMA-311). 

Additionally, a videotaped interview 

of Audette and Carl Boudreau, an 

Army veteran of Vietnam, was 

shown. A second video consisting of 

a compilation of several student 

interviews of veterans was also presented. 

NHS science teacher Melissa 

Martin gave an emotional and 

touching tribute to her father, the 

late Spaulding Aldrich, himself a 

Korean War veteran who had participated 

in the 2008 tribute. 

“Learn about your family’s history 

and in the process you will probably 

learn about the veterans in your 

family tree” said Martin. She went 

on to discuss the annual treks 

through the Blackstone River Valley 

to place flowers on the graves of relatives 

she made with her late father 

and her sisters. 

Johnson gave concluding remarks 

that incorporated personal reflections 

as well as a general observation 

on the debt all Americans owe 

the men and women who have 

“answered the call” and have 

defended the nation. 

The veterans’ assembly is a threeyear 

old tradition that is coordinated 

by the Social Studies department 

focusing on World War II in 2007, 

Korean War in 2008, and the 

Vietnam War in 2009. Juniors who 

take American Studies II courses 

studied the conflict that spanned 

from 1954 to 1975 with American 

military involvement going from 

initial military advisers to the 1975 

surrender of the Republic of South 

Vietnam to the Communist North 

Vietnamese. 

Social Studies members include 

department chair Jennifer Sauter, 

Karen Guerin, Alan Finkel, 

Stephanie Fuchs, René Lafayette 

and Brian Grinnan. Broadcast 

teacher Benjamin Schur, and Music 

Director Joseph Pepin were recognized 

for their participation in the 

assembly.

DIY Car Washing Tips 

Springtime translates into car washing 

time. ....... 

While it’s nice to treat your car to a 

professional wash, many people prefer to 

do it at home with a bucket or hose. You’ll 

not only save money, you might burn 

some calories too! In this economy, it’s 

more important than ever to take care of 

what we have, and the following tips are 

easy and effective ways to help maintain 

your vehicle’s showroom sparkle. 

Water Rule: Professional auto detailers 

caution against using high hose pressure to 

wash a car or truck. They claim the rushing 

water can cause dirt to grind into the paint, 

causing scratches. To be on the safe side, 

always use a gentle stream of water when 

rinsing. Also, be sure to use generous 

amounts of rinse water. Dirt particles which 

can scratch the finish will tend to float away 

if enough water is used. 

Natural Fibers: To prevent those annoying 

swirls on your car’s finish, wash only 

with a 100 percent cotton or lambswool mitt. 

A simple “green” option is to cut an old cotton 

towel in strips to use as a wash rag. 

Experts claim sponges, both synthetic or natural, 

are more likely to swirl up your clear 

coat. 

Thrifty Mix: There’s no need to spend big 

bucks on commercial car washing detergent 

when you can make your own effective car 

wash concentrate for a few pennies a gallon! 

Just mix together in a big jug (a pickle jar 

works well), a half cup liquid dish detergent 

and one quarter cup baking soda to one gallon 

of water. Store the concentrate right in 

the covered jar. When washing the car, use 

one cup of this solution per pail of warm 

water. 

Cool Car: When you wash your car, be 

sure your it is cool and in the shade. A hot 

surface causes the wash to dry too quickly 

and increases the chance of water spotting. 

Rinse off loose surface dirt with water 

before starting. This minimizes abrasion 

from small particles. 

Wax On: Use a 

TAKE slightly damp 

terry cloth rag for 

THE 

applying wax or 

HINT polish. This helps 

you apply as thin a 

KAREN layer as possible, 

TRAINOR which minimizes 

waste, promotes 

even drying and 

makes the wax or polish much easier to 

remove. 

Wax Off: Remove the wax or polish with a 

soft, dry towel. Shake out the towel frequently 

to shed the dried wax. When removing 

wax or polish, remember that using more 

speed is better than applying more pressure. 

Excessive pressure can cause unnecessary 

abrasion and scratches in the paint. Use a 

soft toothbrush to remove dried wax around 

badges, lettering, trim, etc. If you want a 

high gloss shine, add an extra step to your 

waxing process. Follow your waxing with a 

final rubdown with soft bath towels. 

Rid Rust: Here’s a quick and easy tip for 

ridding your bumper of rust. Simply wad up 

a ball of aluminum foil and rub the spot 

briskly. It won’t get rid of the pits, but it’ll 

improve the overall appearance. And to 

clean the white battery corrosion build up 

on your car battery terminal, use this old 

fashioned “green” tip. Apply a paste of baking 

soda and water to the area, wipe or brush 

it clean. Once done, apply a coating of petroleum 

jelly to prevent further corrosion. 

Un-stick stickers: Bumper stickers and 

security window stickers do more than make 

a statement, they make a mess when you 

want them off !! To loosen glue, try spritzing 

the sticker generously with straight household 

vinegar in a spray bottle; let it soak and 

scrape off. Or spray the sticker with a commercial 

pre-wash laundry spray, let it sit for 

several minutes, then rub it off with a stiff 

brush. 

Soapy Slats: Washing the car grill can be 

a real grind, but not if you use a long handled 

toilet bowl brush. It gets between the 

slats and is great at working up lather. 

Shoo Stale Air: Here’s a surefire way to 

rid your car of stale odors, including cigarette 

smells.: Begin by cleaning all of the air 

conditioning vents with a solution made of 

half white vinegar and half water. Next, fill 

an old nylon stocking with cedar chips and 

tuck under the seats After you’ve spruced up 

your car, you can keep that just cleaned 

freshness by filling your ashtray with baking 

soda to repel odors. If you want a lasting 

scent, add a few drops of vanilla extract or 

your favorite 

cologne to the tray. 

Fresh Air: To 

make your car 

truly smell fresh 

and retard mildew, 

deodorize the 

heat/vent/air conditioning 

system. 

Mix up a very mild 

antiseptic spray by 

combining a few 

drops of bleach 

and water into a 

spritz bottle. 

Pump a spray of 

mist into the mixture 

in the air 

intake with your 

system fan on high 

and cycle it 

through the different 

modes. Best of 

all, this trick prevents 

mold and 

mildew from forming! 

(Note: Do not 

over-spray.) 

Quick Tip: Toss 

a fabric softener 

dryer sheet under 

the car seats, and 

in side door pockets 

to keep the car smelling fresh and sweet.

Taft School presents tastes of world at fair, art exhibit 



UXBRIDGE — There were no prizes for best 

apple pie or quilt, as at a state fair. 

But the International Fair and art exhibit 

by the second grade at Taft Elementary School 

was even more concentrated than your usual 

fair. 

As for the apple pie, cookies had to do, but 

high school students served up a variety of 

“international” morsels to the younger folk. 

Meanwhile, the walls were covered with art 

related to just about every major culture you 

could think of, and spaced at intervals along 

the hallways were television videos of different 

second graders giving talks about their 

own ethnic backgrounds. 

Nearer the front of the school were mammoth 

art works with maybe the fur of a wolf 

simulated in one spot. 

For one day at least, the Taft School rivaled 

quite a few museums and was a whole lot 

more interesting. 

In a way, it was almost scary to see such 

artistic competence at the age of seven or 

eight. 

Either the teaching of art is getting better 

by light years from several decades ago or the 

kids are more advanced in drawing and in the 

use of color. It is probably a combination of 

both. 

But it would be pretty obvious to grandparents 

viewing the artworks and the intricacy 

and sheer volume of really good artistic creations 

that this was something on a new level 

from what they remembered doing as secondgraders. 

It used to be that even in fifth-grade art you 

chose subjects that, when carried out, would 

not require drawing facial features. So you 

drew an Apache Indian sitting against a cactus 

(never mind the discomfort) and wearing a 

huge sombrero tilted forward to cover the 

face, that and a colorful blanket, desert temperatures 

or not. 

But nowadays, even in the second grade, 

these kids are into stylish African women carrying 

a bowl of water atop their head. Or a 

whole wall, like clips from a film reel, of 

Egyptians. 

Not to forget the Chinese or the Japanese. 

Meanwhile, the high school kids plied their 

younger brothers and sisters with the ultimate 

snare for attention, platefuls of homemade 

cookies favored in many different lands. 

You don’ even get that kind of treatment at 

Manhattan’s Metropolitan Museum of Art. 

Joining the second-graders at Taft was the 

Early Childhood Development class at 

Uxbridge High School. 

The fair was the culmination of a lot of 

research by the second graders. High school 

students supervised by teacher Susan Priore 

assisted the younger set. 

One of the results of the student research 

into their backgrounds was a poster highlighting 

maps and key points of interest. 

“In their individual presentations,” said 

Principal Paula Montesi, “the second-graders 

described the geography, people, language, 

landmarks, and economic sectors of the countries.” 

Under the guidance of music director 

Gretchen D’Andrea, the students performed 

dances from Canada, Italy, England, Africa, 

Russia and the United States. Students 

rehearsed under physical education teacher 

Bonnie Dimmick. The children also sang 

songs from around the world, directed by 

D’Andrea. 

The artwork was prepared under the direction 

of art teacher Diane Henries. 

Second grade teacher Stephanie Davis and 

Priore, Early Childhood Development Class 

instructor, originated the event in a planning 

session in 2004. 

The Uxbridge Education Foundation gave 

the school an award that made the show possible. 

Principal Montesi said the International 

Fair was based on units of study in grade 2 

that included literature and a discussion of 

the reasons people may choose to move from 

one country to another. 

“Information was then synthesized to develop 

an understanding of immigration and cultural 

heritage,” she explained. 

The second grade students collaborated 

with high school partners to research their 

Taft School youngsters perform a dance routine at the annual International Fair.

Boisvert with his Carnival mask. 

assigned country. 

The result of this collaboration was the 

completion of an in-depth research report 

used as the basis of the video presentations. 

“The fair gave the students authentic tasks 

and true purposes for the skills they learned 

as outlined in the curriculum frameworks,” 

Montesi said. Students also learned to collaborate 

with persons of different ages and abilities, 

she said. 

“Tolerance and respect for individual culture 

and heritage was an outgrowth of this 

experience,” Montesi declared. 

“Finally,” she said, “this international fair 

truly created a partnership through its communal 

nature. A link was established between 

elementary and high school students… 

Parents became integral components in the 

student’s learning experiences. Teachers from 

various disciplines collaborated to create a 

true interdisciplinary unit.”

BLACKSTONE VALLEY TRIBUNE 

Rock House 6 is built to last 

From the A (Allman 

Brothers) to Z (ZZ Top), the 

band Rock House 6 plays a 

wide variety of classic and 

newer rock songs, from the 

70s to today. The band’s goal 

is to create an atmosphere of 

fun and infectious entertainment 

at every gig. 

The group consists of five 

veteran performers from the 

local music scene. On lead 

vocals is Dave Budge, a.k.a. “Mr Big.” 

Handling the guitar duties is Nelson Hamlin, 

a.k.a. “Nasty Nelson.” Dennis LeTendre, also 

known as “BIG D” nails the hammond organ 

and other keyboards. On bass is Joe Paul, simply 

known as “J. P.” Completing the rhythm 

section is drummer “Beat Master Mike” 

Desrosiers. 

Unlike some unusual band names, the Rock 

House 6 moniker actually has meaning. It was 

generated from the bands that the members 

were in previously. Joe played for many years 

in a band called Rock Candy, while Dave, 

Nelson and Mike were together for three years 

in Millhouse. Dennis handled the keyboard 

section for six years with Route 66 … so together 

they are now known as Rock House 6. 

With a number of unique song choices in 

their repertoire, the band doesn’t always play

Marino a leader on the mound, at the plate 

SENIOR KEY TO WHITINSVILLE CHRISTIAN SOFTBALL’S SUCCESS 



NORTHBRIDGE — Some things 

in life are a given, like Easter 

falling on a Sunday or the sun setting 

in the west. One can also add 

Rachael Marino standing behind 

the rubber for the Whitinsville 

Christian softball team. 

Marino, a senior captain, has 

pitched every inning of every game 

for the Crusaders over the past 

three years. Her sophomore, junior 

and senior seasons have been 

chock full of throwing strikes on 

the mound and belting strikes in 

the batter’s box. 

This season, Marino is 11-5 (as of 

last week), which is obviously the 

Crusaders’ record as well, with one 

regular season game to play. Her 

ERA has ranged from 1.25 to 2 all 

season, a very good number for a 

high school softball hurler. 

Marino has also been feasting on 

opponents’ pitches all year, as she 

leads the team in batting from the 

No. 2 spot in the lineup, where her 

average has ranged anywhere from 

.450 to .470 all year. 

And with all the success from 

pitching and hitting, Marino is also 

a gifted outfielder and a talented 

base runner. 

Marino will attempt to make the 

Johnson and Wales team as a right 

fielder next year, and running the 

bases may be one of her favorite 

intricacies of the game. 

“I love base running,” she said. 

“Whenever I slide, it’s the greatest 

feeling.” 

A couple more possible great 

feelings on the softball diamond for 

Marino include a 15-inning complete 

game win against Blackstone 

Millville Regional this year, 3-2. 

She also tossed a no-hitter versus 

North Brookfield this spring, and 

tossed a perfect game against the 

Indians during her junior campaign. 

Marino has been pitching since 

age 7 with town leagues, travel 

leagues and everywhere in 

between. She has also taken lessons 

at RBIs in Northbridge to better 

improve her game. 

“I think this year she even 

brought her game up a level,” 

Whitinsville Christian coach 

Kevin Conway said. “Her control is 

better this year, and she’s becoming 

a more intelligent type pitcher.” 

Another important piece to the 

success of Marino lies in the teammate 

catching the majority of her 

balls, Martine Dolan. 

Marino and Dolan have been best 

friends for a while, and working 

together as part of a softball battery 

has given Marino a lot of confidence. 

She predominantly throws fastballs, 

while pinpointing the exact 

location of the pitch to make it 

near impossible for the hitter to get 

a piece of the bat on. She also 

throws a changeup every so often. 

“Softball just came naturally,” 

Marino said. 

But why did Marino decide to 

actually become a pitcher while 

young? 

“I love being the center of attention 

as my parents say,” she said. 

Marino obviously isn’t the only 

attraction on the Crusaders roster, 

as Whitinsville Christian is 

stacked with a seventh-grade 

starter, a couple of freshmen and a 

tough, experienced upperclassman 

roster. 

And as Memorial Day 

approached Marino and the rest of 

her teammates awaited the conclusion 

of the regular season and the 

announcement for the Central 

Massachusetts District 3 softball 

tournament. 

“I’m going to do what I need to do 

to get it done,” Marino said. 

And as Rachael Marino has been 

perfecting the softball pitch for 

about a decade now, there is little 

doubt as to whether Marino can get 

it done. 

She certainly has, and she certainly 

will.

Rachael Marino, the starting pitcher for 

Whitinsville Christian, has done well 

both in the pitching circle and behind 

the plate, sporting an ERA of between 

1.25 and 2 and a batting average of 

.450 to .470 from the No. 2 slot.

magnets from the beginning of the 

wars? Most of them have fallen 

from American cars, never to be 

replaced.” 

The wild enthusiasms of that 

period are gone, and that may be 

good,” he added. 

“Whether Americans are for or 

against the wars,” he said, 

“they’re more thoughtful now.” 

But, he said he hoped people 

might still feel comfortable walking 

up to someone in uniform to 

say ‘Thank you.’” 

Audete urged people to do the 

concrete things that truly support 

veterans — flying the flag, putting 

that magnet back on your car, 

greeting men and women in uniform, 

volunteering at a Veterans 

Affairs hospital, nursing home or 

clinic, taking veterans to VA medical 

centers, helping older veterans 

who can no longer do chores 

around the house.” 

“Our veterans have served in 

numerous conflicts and on diverse 

front lines — from the beaches and 

skies of Normandy to the seas and 

islands of the Pacific, from the bitter 

snows and mountains of Korea 

to the swamps and sweltering jungles 

of Vietnam, from the deserts 

and rocky terrain of Afghanistan 

to the sands and dunes of Iraq,” 

said Michael McCallion, a junior 

at Northbridge High School. 

“Whereven they served, wherever 

they went, wherever they are 

now,” he said, “we owe them our 

perpetual thanks, gratitude, kindness 

and love.” 

And he quoted Lincoln’s words 

to Lydia Bixby, who was said to 

have lost five sons in the civil War: 

“I pray that our Heavenly Father 

may assuage the anguish of your 

bereavement and leave you with 

only the cherished memory of the 

loved and lost and the solemn 

pride that must be yours to have 

laid so costly a sacrifice on the 

altar of freedom.” 

Kylie Krause, also a junior at 

Northbridge High school, read a 

poem by Kelly Strong, a Coast 

Guard veteran. 

Among those looking on was 

Army veteran Robert Watson, who 

was wounded in Afghanistan. The 

34-year-old, who wore seven 

medals and eight award ribbons, 

stood under a tree in full uniform 

with dark beret. 

The Douglas High School 

Marching Band played a major 

role in observances on the 

Whitinsville Common. 

Selectmen read off the names of 

those who died in all this nation’s 

wars. 

The Douglas High Band offered

DOUGLAS 

If the Douglas Memorial Day 

parade, celebrated Sunday, May 24, 

had an engine, it was the Douglas 

High School Marching Band. 

Not only did it play appropriate 

music at the several memorial 

squares, but it provided taps, too. 

Then its bells and batons put a 

crispness in the air, as if to remind 

everyone that while Memorial Day 

celebrations are serious matters, 

the sacrifices were made so that 

others might live and thrive. 

Douglas High School Music 

Director Gery Elliott explained the 

band included some of its wide 

repertoire by playing “Battle 

Hymn of the Republic,” “Semper 

Fidelis,” “American Pride,” the 

“The Star Spangled Banner,” and 

“Ancora.” 

Eighth-grader Zachary Roper 

played taps and freshman Dylan 

Girard provided the echo as a veterans’ 

firing squad sent off volleys 

first at Joseph Michna Square to salute the 

dead, with the raising of the colors and a 

band anthem, followed by the same schedule 

at Michael Carter Square and at the 

Civil War Monument, where the Douglas 

Women’s Relief Corps provided its own traditional 

program of honoring those who 

sacrificed their lives for their country. 

The parade had made its way east on 

Gilboa Street, then taken a right onto North 

Street. After exercises at the Civil War 

Monument, the parade contingents moved 

west on Main Street, taking a left at Depot 

and heading for the World War II, Korean 

War and Vietnam War memorials across 

from the Municipal Center between Depot 

Street and Martin Road. 

From the perspective of those walking 

along Pleasant Street, the blue and white 

colors of the band moved between shadow 

and sunlight just beyond the line of trees on 

the front lawn of the Second 

Congregational Church. 

One of the solemn events in the parade 

was the raising of colors. 

John Zifcak, a Vietnam Marine veteran, 

and Firefighter Ernest Marks lowered the 

flag at the memorials near the Municipal 

Center. As the flag came down along the tall, 

white pole, Zifcak reeling it in, the two men 

touched it before sending it up. Zifcak 

pulled the cord that raised the furled flag. A 

puff of air billowed the Stars and Stripes, 

as if nature joined in their enlivening. 

“By the sword,” said state Sen. Richard

Moore, D-Uxbridge, “sons and daughters of 

Douglas sought world peace and an end to 

oppression time and again in far corners of 

the world in places with names that seldom 

were taught in our geography classes.” 

“As in the past, many Americans have 

made the supreme sacrifice, others return 

to us with tragic, visible wounds from loss 

of limbs or traumatic head injury,” he said. 

“But also, as in past years,” he observed, 

“many more veterans are returning home 

with damage to their mental health — the 

‘invisible wounds’ of war, and they will 

need our care, our patience, our support 

just as those with more obvious physical 

wounds.” 

“We gather here this Memorial Day, not 

only to commemorate the dead — those 

killed in battle and those veterans who died 

from the wounds of war or from age — but 

to honor all of our veterans, to make the 

deaths of our fallen veterans eternally 

meaningful, and as Lincoln once said, “to 

care for him who shall have borne the battle, 

and for his widow, and his orphan.” 

VFW Commander Ronald Tetreau also 

gave a moving address, imagining a fallen 

Vietnam veteran who was speaking to family 

members from behind The Wall in 

Washington, D.C. 

Other veterans with prominent roles in 

the parade included Desert Storm Marine 

veteran Timothy Buskirk, Iraq Marine veteran 

Daniel Maguire, Kenneth Michna, 

nephew of Joseph Michna, Marine veteran 

Tony Wood, who served four years in the 

Mediterranean, Japan and Korea, Joshua 

Bressan, an Army Reserves MP, and 

National Guardsman William Perkins. 

Tetreau, 44, is in the Army Reserves and 

four months of the year is attached to active 

Army units. He has been in the military 

some 26 years. 

Bianca Rousseau led the parade as the 

feature twirler for the 80-member, multiaward-winning 

Douglas High School 

Marching Band. Rousseau, who intends to 

go to Curry College in the fall and study 

nursing, said the most grueling parades she

has ever been in were the St. Patrick’s Day 

parades in South Boston. 

“It was really cold and long,” she said of 

that event. 

Attendants at the Douglas Parade almost 

missed the rain entirely, but a light mist 

began coming down just before exercises at 

the World War II, Korean and Vietnam War 

memorials concluded.

Old issues emerge in Marzec, Murray contest 

MARZEC 


He said it was disconcerting, however, 

to see two of his fellow selectmen 

campaigning against him. He 

mentioned Charles Ampagoomian 

Jr. and Thomas Melia. Marzec said 

he had no problem with Selectmen 

Chairman Joseph Montecalvo putting 

a Murray sign on his front 

lawn, because he thought that was 

as far as Montecalvo’s campaigining 

for Murray went. But, he said, 

Ampagoomian and Melia did “robo 

(robotic)” calls in the days before the 

election. 

Marzec, who is a biology teacher 

at Hopkinton High School, said he 

campaigned door-to-door for a 

month and a half, increasing the 

number of residents he met as the 

election drew closer. He said it was 

not unusual to hold a prolonged conversation 

about issues with some 

residents. 

Murray was a member of the 

School Committee for nine years. He 

recently retired from the school 

department after 17 years working 

as director of facilities and maintenance 

and later as director of 

Operations. He had several years of 

experience in the latter kind of position 

working in a similar capacity 

for a Worcester bank. Currently 

chairman of the Building, Planning 

& Construction Committee, Murray 

has served 10 years on that board. 

In his campaign, Marzec said he 

had “an optimistic vision of 

Northbridge and looked forward to 

implementing positive plans for the 

future.” 

“During these tough economic 

times,” he said, “local government 

will be challenged more than ever 

before.” 

As a fiscal conservative, Marzec 

said, he would “strive to protect taxpayers’ 

wallets while prioritizing 

and focusing on our essential 

needs.” 

He also emphasized he is “proactive, 

not reactionary,” and said he 

“favors promoting business growth 

in the community to help relieve 

some of the property tax burden on 

homeowners.” 

WIDE EXPERIENCE 

“I like doing things for the town 

and I think I can do a good job for the 

town,” said Murray in the run-up to 

the election. 

He saw his wide experience in 

town affairs, including his stint on 

the School Committee, as helpful to 

the town, “especially in the next few 

years with the fiscal situation the 

way it is.” 

Although certain aspects of the 

election contest bore trace marks of 

past political divisions in town, it 

was a subtle matter to delineate. For 

his part, Murray, likeable and widely 

popular, emphasized that he had 

never been in one political camp or 

another. 

“You have to be fair with people,” 

he said. 

Certainly, he was one of the driving 

forces behind the new high 

school, and had a reputation as a 

hard worker who also knew how to 

get along with people. A minor irony 

was that, when put in a position to 

influence the style of the new 

school, Murray went out of the box 

to argue for selection of an architectural 

firm he and others thought 

would come up with a new and creative 

design, not just look at local 

factories for a guide to the shape of 

the new school. Yet, the latter was 

what the firm did, even though 

nobody felt like quibbling once the 

new edifice rose with its own kind of 

splendor. 

Some people wondered why 

Murray would not want to just take 

it easy and enjoy his retirement. But 

he apparently felt the need to continue 

serving the town. 

Murray brought intelligence and 

a certain charm to the tasks he did, 

that and good will. 

So it might have been surprising 

that someone with less town political 

experience — Marzec had served 

on the Board of Health — should 

win out over Murray. 

But the political landscape of 

Northbridge may be shifting more 

and more toward people who have 

come to this community over the 

past 15 years. 

Sometimes it seems the partisanships 

within local government 

mostly began during the past five 

years. 

Loyalty is a much-valued quality 

in this and other towns, even as it 

means less and less to those working 

in hi-tech, who are more defined by 

the skills they can offer a company 

than by their very association with 

a particular firm. 

Things that ran more or less efficiently 

seven or eight years ago 

were reevaluated within the parameters 

of Town Hall leadership, and 

hard and fast lines were drawn in 

the sand. Even the veterans have 

split into two groups. They cannot 

cooperate on their separate 

Memorial Day services to the point 

of holding them far enough apart so 

that Selectmen can attend both the 

services in Whitinsville and those 

in Rockdale without moving pronto 

from one place to the other. 

Different contingents of town government 

fought each other, at one 

point culminating in a recall petition 

to take down three selectmen — 

William Audette, John Davis and 

Marzec. The petitioners seemed 

ambivalent about getting Marzec to 

step down, but it was clear they 

wanted Audette and Davis removed 

because they were seen as having 

taken a lead in getting rid of former 

Town Manager Michael Coughlin 

without due process and at a certain 

unnecessary cost to the town in the 

settlement reached with Coughlin. 

The ill will associated with the 

unsuccessful petition was somewhat 

blunted when Audette and 

Davis declined to run for re-election 

to the Board of Selectmen. 

Meanwhile, there were confrontations 

between former School 

Superintendent Paul Soojian and 

parents when he decided to cut 

kindergarten to half a day. At least 

two residents ran for the School 

Committee successfully because of 

the kindergarten issue. 

In another matter, issues of how 

town finances were monitored rose 

to the fore. 

Meanwhile, certain individuals 

who opposed Coughlin found their 

contributions dismissed or their 

motives in town activities questioned. 

Before that, murder threats were 

alleged against two Board of Health 

members, in relation to the attempt 

by local and out-of-town interests in 

getting a medical waste processing 

operation in town. In that instance, 

Coughlin played a pivotal role in 

helping keep the medical waste out 

of Northbridge. 

Marzec asked that a price of 

around $1 million be looked at for a 

new, largely metal DPW center off 

Providence Road while some other 

town officials seemed committed to 

a much higher figure. 

Uxbridge election results in emergence of write-in selectman 

PITMAN 


on the ballot,” he said. “Usually you’ll see 

write-ins win when nobody is running. So this 

was really unusual.” 

Pitman, a single mother with two children 

enrolled in the school system, is director of 

marketing for a Marlborough firm that specializes 

in retirement planning. She supports 

building a new high school and was motivated 

to run for selectman after Stacy announced he 

would not, if elected, vote to hold a townwide 

ballot on the matter. 

“I have developed a deep interest in the politics 

of our community and have often considered 

running for office,” she said. “Mr. Stacy’s 

position on the ballot for the high school project 

inspired me to take action now. I think the 

citizens of our community deserve the right 

to vote for themselves — yes or no. I believe we 

are all smart enough to decide for ourselves 

and that one person should not substitute his 

judgment for the judgment of 8,000 registered 

voters.” 

In 2003, a minority vote by the Board of 

Selectmen prevented a previous high school 

building project from going on the ballot. 

Since that time, the town has purchased property 

off Quaker Highway to build a new high 

school and the state has pledged partial funding 

of the project, though specific details of 

the plan have yet to emerge. 

The aging and overcrowded high school’s 

accreditation has been on probation with the 

New England Association of Schools and 

Colleges since 2005. 

Pitman has pledged to “fairly weigh the pros 

and cons of each issue brought before the 

selectmen in order to make reasonable and 

ethical decisions for our community.” 

WAITING ON DETAILS 

Cari Robertson said she was looking forward 

to serving another three years, even 

though selectmen would almost certainly be 

faced with a series of difficult decisions. 

“We are not out of this budget issue, as far 

as state aid goes,” she said. 

With the state’s fiscal year 2010 budget still a 

work in progress, Robertson said town officials 

are prepared to revise their own spending 

plan based on final local aid figures. 

“We’re hoping to find out some details about 

what is going on,” she said. “The town manager 

and finance director have been staying 

on top of the situation and are taking a proactive 

approach. We are all prepared to make 

tough decisions.” 

Moreover, according to Robertson, the 

Legislature’s decision to raise the sales tax 

from 5 percent to 6.25 percent will ultimately 

do little to help struggling municipalities. 

“There is still a lot of fat the Legislature 

could be eliminating from the budget,” she 

said. “There is a perception the politicians are 

protecting their careers, not the people they 

serve.” 

William Robertson, a 20-year veteran of the 

Marine Corps reserve with a professional 

background in finance and technology, currently 

works as a manufacturer’s representative. 

He said word of mouth and networking 

were his most effective campaign methods. 

“My wife is involved in a lot of community 

activities and I’ve become more involved with 

her in them, along with activities that involve 

my children, like Boy Scouts,” he said. “From 

that I’ve had a chance to converse with a lot of 

residents and ‘chat’ the issues. I did little in 

the way of conventional campaigning because 

I wanted to make a personal connection. 

When folks asked if they could raise or contribute 

money toward my campaign, I told 

them I was only interested in their going out 

and communicating with 10 people they 

know… about my positions.” 

Robertson said his “litmus test” for building 

a new high school is simple: Would it be the 

most prudent move to better educate the 

town’s students? 

“If a new high school can materially 

achieve this objective after considering other 

initiatives, then we should do it, but only after 

we have determined if we have the means to 

not only execute the construction of a new 

high school, but to operate it after construction,” 

he said. 

CARDOGNO AN UNSUNG HEROINE 

DOUGLAS — State Rep. Paul Kujawski, D-Webster, greeted Eileen Cardogno, of Douglas, with a citation 

as one of the recipients of the Commonwealth’s Unsung Heroine Award. 

Cardogno is the founder of the Bereavement Committee at St. Denis Church. She founded the group 

26 years ago and continues to dedicate her services to help families arrange funeral services for 

their loved ones. She was nominated by Kujawski for all her hard work. 

The Massachusetts Commission on the Status of Women hosted its Sixth Annual Unsung Heroine 

Celebration in the Great Hall on May 13. The event honored 100 Unsung Heroines who quietly, without 

fanfare or recognition, make their communities and the Commonwealth better places.

REGION — For veterans struggling financially 

due to a job loss or decreased 

income, the Department of Veterans 

Affairs (VA) offers an assortment of programs 

that can relieve the costs of healthcare 

or provide care at no cost. 

Veterans whose previous income was 

ruled too high for VA healthcare may be 

able to enter the VA system based upon a 

hardship if their current year’s income is 

projected to fall below federal income 

thresholds due to a job loss, separation 

from service or some other financial setback. 

Veterans determined eligible due to hardship 

can avoid co-pays applied to higherincome 

veterans. Qualifying veterans may 

be eligible for enrollment and receive 

health care at no cost. 

Also eligible for no-cost VA care are most 

veterans who recently returned from a 

combat zone. They are entitled to five 

years of free VA care. The five-year 

“clock” begins with their discharge from 

the military, not their departure from the 

combat zone. 

Each VA medical center across the country 

has an enrollment coordinator available to 

provide veterans information about these 

programs. 

Veterans may also contact VA’s Health 

Benefits Service Center at 1-877-222 VETS 

(8387) or visit the VA health eligibility 

Website at www.va.gov/healtheligibility.

PRAYER TO THE BLESSED 

VIRGIN 

(Never known to fail). Oh 

most beautiful flower of Mt. 

Carmel, fruitful vine, splendor 

of Heaven, Blessed 

Mother of the Son of God, 

Immaculate Virgin, assist me 

in this my necessity. Oh Star 

of the Sea, help me and 

show me herein, you are my 

mother, Oh Holy Mary, Mother 

of God, Queen of Heaven 

and Earth, I humbly beseech 

you from the bottom of my 

heart, succor me in this necessity. 

There are none that 

can withstand your call. Oh, 

show me herein, you are my 

mother. Oh, Mary conceived 

without sin, pray for us who 

have recourse to thee. (3 

times) Holy Mary I place this 

cause in your hands (3 

times). Sweet Mother I pray 

for this cause in your hands. 

(3 times). Holy Spirit, resolve 

all problems, light all roads 

so that I can attain my goal. 

You gave me the divine gift 

to forgive and forget all evil 

against me in all instances of 

my life, you are with me. I 

want this short prayer to 

thank you for all things as 

you confirm once again that I 

never want to be separated 

from you even in spite of material 

things. I wish to be 

with you in eternal glory. 

Thank you for your mercy toward 

me and mine. The person 

must say this prayer 

three consecutive days. After 

three days the request 

will be granted. This prayer 

must be published after the 

prayer is granted. Thank 

you.

Mini Cooper Small in Name Only 

BY KEITH GRIFFIN 

BMW has succeeded in transforming the 

Mini Cooper from an enjoyable car to one 

that most people would be proud to have in 

their driveways. The distinctive little convertible 

enjoys an iconic design that continues 

to make it stand out from the competition. 

I just wish BMW had tweaked the 

design enough so that people could tell the 

difference between the new and old models. 

Let’s get the important stuff out of the way 

first. The soft-top convertible opens electronically 

at the flip of a toggle switch. No 

annoying levers to click clack open. 

Basically, in the time it takes you to read this 

sentence, the Mini’s top is open and ready 

for driving in the sun. OK, that’s a bit of an 

exaggeration, but its 15-second opening and 

closing time is still pretty impressive. The 

roof also opens partially to give you a sunroof-type 

experience. 

Another unexpected benefit is a trunk that, 

while not exactly spacious, is usable. I’ve 

driven much larger convertibles like the allnew 

Infiniti G37 that have non-existent 

trunks when the top is open. (In the G37 you 

might be able to store a spare thought or 

two, that’s about it.) The Mini Cooper’s 

trunk has an expanded luggage compartment 

opening, rear seat backrests that can 

be folded down and locked into position, 

and a pivoting, two-position shelf for packages. 

Surprisingly, somebody 6’2” (like this 

reviewer) can comfortably enter and exit 

the Mini. I didn’t even have the seat all the 

way back. Having said that, this car, while it 

has four seats, is still best suited to two 

adults. A third person of small stature 

could be thrown into the mix. 

Now that I’ve covered the fun stuff, let me 

touch on the gloomy side of things. The visibility 

with the top up is horrendous in the 

Mini Cooper. The best way to describe the 

view through the rear window is obscured. 

Side visibility is hampered by the large C 

pillars. BMW said it improved visibility by 

increasing the size of the side windows, but 

it has a long way to go. In a week of driving 

I never once felt comfortable changing lanes 

without triple checking the space was clear. 

Backing up is aided by rear sensors that 

beep a stern warning when you’re 

approaching an object. 

I love the layout of the Mini’s dashboard. 

The use of toggle switches is just brilliant 

and adds just the right sense of playfulness 

to the driving experience. The large 

speedometer looks like something Flavor 

Flav would have in his jewelry chest and the 

“Openometer” records how long the roof 

has been open. Sure, it’s hokey, but it does 

serve as a good reminder to reapply your 

sunscreen, if nothing else. 

It’s a great looking dash, but it’s confusing 

as heck to operate. Nothing is intuitive and 

it requires taking your eyes off the road for 

substantial amounts of time until you get 

used to the controls. Also, no car stereo system 

should require in-depth time with the 

user manual to work basic functions. 

Manufacturers seem to forget that 16-year 

olds are good at that stuff, while it’s 46-year 

olds who are making the payments. 

One of my complaints with the previous 

generation Mini Cooper was it felt underpowered 

when you want to press the pedal 

to the metal for some driving fun (or, more 

practically, to merge onto the highway). The 

new Mini Convertible that I drove had the 

optional Sports Button. Positioned in front 

of the gear selector lever on the center console, 

the Sports Button controls engine 

management, steering and the automatic 

transmission. (The model loaned to me for a 

week by Mini came with the six-speed automatic 

transmission.) 

Activating the sports mode at the touch of a 

button, BMW says “the driver adjusts the 

gas pedal control map for a far higher standard 

of agility and even more direct steering 

response. And on cars featuring automatic 

transmission, finally, electronic management 

again helps to make the gearshift 

even faster.” It’s automotive writer heresy 

to admit this, but in most instances you’re 

The 2009 Mini Cooper keeps the fun in convertible driving with a distinctive style and an 

easy-to-fold top. 

going to get much better results when you 

leave the shifting to the electronic overlords. 

However, you’ll get much more pleasure 

if you do the shifting yourself. 

For those of you keeping track at home, the 

base Mini Cooper comes with 1.6-liter 

engine that produces 118 horsepower at 

6,000 rpm with torque peaking at 114 lb. 

feet at 4,250 rpm. The engine is going to 

whine in protest a little bit under hard 

acceleration, but it’s a fun note to hear with 

the top down. With a combination of a 

Twin-Scroll turbocharger and direct fuel 

injection, the Mini Cooper S has 172 horsepower, 

an almost 50 percent boost, with 177 

lb. feet of torque. 

Fuel economy, of course, is good in the Mini 

Cooper. The automatic I drove is rated at 25 

mpg city and 34 mpg highway. During the 

week I had it, which included a round trip to 

Boston, it averaged about 29.8. It’s a regular 

fuel sipper. 

Let’s not kid ourselves. This is a small car 

second in size only to the Smart fortwo 

(145.6 inches vs. 98.4 inches in length) so 

safety is important. The Mini Cooper has an 

enhanced roll bar system, brake system 

with anti-lock brakes (ABS), electronic 

brake force distribution, cornering brake 

control and brake assistant, as well as 

dynamic stability control with start-off 

assistant are all standard features. 

Dynamic traction control with electronically 

differential lock control feature on the 

drive wheels enhances traction under acceleration, 

and is available as an option or as 

part of the Sport Package. 

The Mini Cooper is a pretty good value at 

$23,900 for the base model. Throw in things 

like the sport package at $1500, the automatic 

transmission at $1250 and heated seats (a 

must for Northeast convertible owners) at 

$500 and the price starts to creep up. It’s a 

convertible I highly recommend, especially 

if you’re going through a midlife crisis.
