Mailed free to requesting homes in Douglas, Northbridge and Uxbridge Vol. III, No. 17 Complimentary to homes by request ONLINE: www.blackstonevalleytribune.com “Honesty is the first chapter in the book of wisdom.” Friday, January 22, Neal addresses NHS class BY THOMAS MATTSON TRIBUNE STAFF WRITER NORTHBRIDGE — U.S. Rep. Richard Neal, D-Massachusetts, spoke on a variety of subjects Thursday, Jan. 14, and then answered questions from students at Northbridge High School. Neal noted every bill goes through the House Ways and Means Committee, of which he is a member. He said there are 20 Democrats and 16 Republicans on that committee. He noted the group deals with taxes, tariffs, trade, Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid and welfare. He said he had worked for education, health care and manufacturing jobs in Massachusetts. “Every tax bill goes through my committee,” Neal said. He noted the importance of growing the economy but also of meeting responsibilities. “We find ourselves in an economic morass,” he declared of the country. Neal spoke of picking up and going forward, with one slight caveat. He would do that without entering a partisan fray, “but if it becomes a matter of demagoguery (from the other side), I’ll get into it.” By that, the congressman seemed to mean he would not sit Thomas Mattson photo idly by if conservatives attack Congressman Richard Neal (left) with NHS senior James Tabur.

BY NICK ETHIER SPORTS STAFF WRITER NORTHBRIDGE — Corey Pryor was hitting his shots early, Casey Hippert dominated the paint later on, and the Northbridge boys’ basketball team handed Shepherd Hill a 72-51 loss on Jan. 15. Pryor scored 22 of his game-high 27 points and collected four of his seven rebounds in the first half, while Hippert scored 13 of his 23 points in second half play. “That’s the most points we’ve scored all year,” Northbridge coach Paul Baker said. “Corey (Pryor) had a great first half. All of his shots were within the offense and he was- n’t forcing anything.” “Casey (Hippert) played well too,” Baker added. “He’s tough inside. He hit the offensive boards.” Kevin Pastore of Shepherd Hill blows by his defender and head to the hoop for a lay-up. Back-to-back 3-pointers from Pryor from the same spot on the Northbridge.

BY NICK ETHIER SPORTS STAFF WRITER UPTON — The Blackstone Valley Tech boys’ basketball team led Bay Bath at halftime on Jan. 12 by a 36- 24 margin, but the game wasn’t out of reach yet for the Minutemen. A good third quarter from Bay Path would have put them right back on track, while a good third from the Beavers would put the game away. The latter scenario occurred, as Valley Tech won third quarter scoring 19-6 while holding the Minutemen without a field goal. Bay Path’s only points in the third quarter came by way of free throws, and the Beavers won a lopsided game, 63-37. “We played great,” Valley Tech coach James Kahler said. “When we rebound like that and play defense like that we’re real tough to beat.” Bay Path coach Mike Lavin could only think about the mistake-ridden third quarter. “We didn’t get a field goal,” he said. “We couldn’t do anything. Too much rushing on man-to-man plays.

BY THOMAS MATTSON TRIBUNE STAFF WRITER NORTHBRIDGE — “Does he have a Southern accent?” “No, it’s just farm talk.” Be that conversation what it may, it was farm talk that was infused into what was later called Bluegrass music. Or maybe it was mountain talk, too. As in Appalachia. Although its roots go back to the English, Welsh, Scottish, French and Irish immigrants to America in the 1600s, as well as to African- American sources, it wasn’t until the 1950s that this country music with acoustic banjo, guitar, fiddle and bass, at the least, was called “Bluegrass,” as opposed to just plain country music. It easily encompassed folk music, a genre that drew the interest of college students from the 1950s onward. Last Saturday night, Jan. 16, a packed house so enjoyed hearing Erica Brown and the Bluegrass Connection perform at the Grassroots Coffeehouse in the basement of the Rockdale Congregational Church on Fowler Road, that no one needed a primer on the subtleties of the music form’s history.

2010 Lincoln MKT Leads the Pack Among New Class of Luxury Station Wagons

BY KEITH GRIFFIN

When I was growing up in Northern Connecticut, our family of six (three boys and one girl) had a succession of station wagons: a Chrysler, Ford Pinto and Ford Escort. The Chrysler was the biggest while the two Fords failed miserably at trans- porting us anywhere as a family but by that point three of the kids were in college so we never did anything together anyway. I remember, though, that I liked station wagons. Even now on the rare occasion when I get to review one I have the warm fuzzies (a technical automotive term meaning I feel happy). Somehow they made me feel like I a family man even before I had two beautiful daughters. (After all, I came of age before mini- vans.) After spending two weeks with the 2010 Lincoln MKT I can declare it among the best luxury station wagon I have ever driven, even if Lincoln insists on The 2010 Lincoln MKT, in addition to being luxurious, also hosts a wide variety of safety technology, including cross traffic alert – a calling it a crossover.
