Grade 3 curriculum focuses on the history of the state and Boston, and the project, which had students select a famous land- mark to research and build a 3-D model of, tied in to the grade’s recent trip to the Boston Tea Party Museum. Kids created models of every tourist attraction in Boston, from Fenway Park to Quincy Market to the Prudential Center. Parents were invited to the school to see the students’ hard work.

BY NICK ETHIER SPORTS STAFF WRITER With the New England high school outdoor track and field championships taking place June 8 in New Britain, Conn., the Blackstone Valley saw two of its own athletes compete and place well. Uxbridge High senior Ben Parody took sixth place in the 400- meter dash, while Douglas High junior Brandon Hoghaug tied for 15th in the high jump. Parody’s sixth place finish made him the first boy in Uxbridge High history to not only run in the New England meet, but also to place in it as well. “When Ben came to run for me as a freshman, he def- initely showed some talent,” coach David Halacy said via email. “After awhile he real- ly became one of our most versatile and gifted athletes, especially the last two years.” After recovering from a growth plate injury in his hip over the winter, Parody came out firing this spring. “Once he came back from the injury he was a different athlete and so driven to get back that lost time from winter,” Halacy said. “We Photo courtesy Dan Goldenberg opened our new track earli- Douglas High’s Brandon Hoghaug, seen competing here in the All-State meet, recently cleared 6-feet er in the spring and finally in the high jump to place 15th at the New England outdoor track and field championships. had a place to train and com- pete.” Courtesy photo all season long.

Redesigned 2014 Acura MDX Best Choice in Luxury SUV Segment for its Practicality

BY KEITH GRIFFIN

The 2014 Acura MDX is being billed - somewhat daringly - as "an executive family jet" by Acura. While this upscale SUV isn't up to that level of luxury it does feature something incredibly necessary and previously lacking: front-wheel drive. Now in its third generation, Acura realized it was omitting a huge segment of potential buyers who didn't want or need all-wheel drive, so it now offers front-wheel drive as standard. That's also how Acura was able to drop the intro- ductory price of the 2014 Acura MDX. Speaking of price, the Acura MDX starts at a relatively afford- able $42,290 for the front-wheel drive version. It's a good price for a well-equipped vehicle. However, start adding in extras like the tech- nology and entertainment pack- ages (which an audiophile would die for) or the advance package with adaptive cruise control, venti- lated front seats, and the collision mitigation braking system, and the price can reach $54,805 with all the bells and whistles and all-wheel drive. The Acura MDX is redesigned for the 2014 model year with a more fuel-efficient engine and standard front-wheel drive available for the first time. That starts to put the MDX into some pretty competitive areas. A sedan-like experience. BMW X5 is going to cost $55,200 and Handling continues to be the a Mercedes-Benz ML 350 has a MDX's strong point. It's going to starting MSRP of $47,270. Another handle twisty, curving roads but competitor in that price range still deliver a compliant ride.
