Around the Region Award-winning artist returns to Alternatives to give back

Courtesy photo WHITINSVILLE — In September, artist Michael Rogan of Barre was awarded first prize in Alternatives’ premiere Blackstone Valley Plein Air Competition. Rogan recently returned to the Whitin Mill to present Alternatives and several of the individuals the organization serves with paintings he created as gifts. Alternatives pro- vides services to people with psychiatric or developmental disabilities throughout Central Massachusetts and sponsors community events, like the Plein Air Competition, that people of all abilities can enjoy together. The Plein Air Competition brought 27 established artists from the Northeast to the Blackstone Valley to paint landscapes at locations throughout the area. The event gave members of the community the opportunity to watch the creative process in progress and provided many volunteer opportunities for people served by Alternatives. Rogan was particularly struck by the “giving and caring to the artists and others at the reception” exhibited by Matthew Albee, Brenda Brothers, Christopher Gaudreau and Robert Paquette who volunteered as servers at the reception and benefit auction that closed out the successful weekend event. Rogan was impressed by their professionalism and pos- itive attitude. Albee, Brothers and Paquette were on hand to receive their paintings and were delighted with their gifts. When asked what she liked about the art, Brothers said “everything” and then focused on Rogan’s choice of colors. Alternatives’ Executive Director Dennis Rice was delighted by the painting of the Stanley Woolen Mill in Uxbridge Rogan donated and par- ticularly pleased that the reception volunteers had made such an impression on the artist. “Community membership for all of us is about participating, contributing and reciprocat- ing. Matt, Brenda, Chris and Robert did a terrific job at the reception and it’s great to see their efforts recognized.”

The Legislature expanded the SAFE pro- Commissioners looked at three possible sites for a facility that would be a permanent stage for musicians, dramatic productions, and other performances. Areas being consid- ered are a site where bands are regularly featured under a tent near the canal bridge, a site at the top of the slope facing the field that is used as a parking lot, and a location south of the park office. The pavilion or bandstand would be large enough to accommodate a small symphony orchestra or a “Shakespeare in the Park” type of theatrical production. Concerts have been held at the park beginning with one in conjunction with Blackstone Valley Heritage Homecoming in 1991. A summer concert series began in 1995 funded by donations from Ocean State Power, local cultural commissions, and other businesses. Some years, as many as 20 concerts have been held averaging as many as 300 people each. At least one group attracted nearly a thousand fans. Although the number of concerts dropped because of lack of sponsors during the recession, the Commission expects this to increase, and wants to have a venue for other public events. Northbridge Commission member Ted Hudson is coordinating the research for the proposed project. He explained that Commissioners want a facility that blends with the park surroundings, uses natural wood products, and can be maintained for low cost. The Commission agreed to continue to refine the proposal with cost estimates for design and construction, to research sources of funding, and to identify with if the three sites would best suit the needs for park programming.

Hicks receives Crystal Apple Award UXBRIDGE — The recipient of McCloskey Middle School’s second Crystal Apple Award is our music teacher, Mr. Brian Hicks. In the short time that he has been here, Hicks has worked tirelessly in his efforts to pro- vide a rich and rewarding music program for the students of McCloskey Middle School. Brian Hicks has been given the task of teaching not only Band and Chorus, but also General Music. Brian is humble, has shown a great deal of resiliency, and consistently puts his stu- dents at the forefront of his work. With schedule changes that have occurred, Brian has volunteered much of his own time to work with students who showed a strong desire to enhance their musical experience. He has shown great effort and his ability to communicate effectively with his students as well as the families of McCloskey Middle School students is stellar. Brian’s accomplishments, in addition to his teaching, somewhat recently included organizing the performance of his Band students in the Uxbridge Veteran’s Day parade. He also conducted an overwhelmingly successful Winter Concert that included about 180 Band and Chorus students performing impressively. During this performance, Brian spent much of his own time meticulously preparing and setting up the auditorium for the concert. Yet when it was time to give praise for the concert, Brian was quick to give his students all of the credit for the performance. It is with great pleasure to present Brian Hicks with this well-deserved recognition.

WELCOME TO AMERICA Courtesy photo NORTHBRIDGE — Northbridge High School welcomed students and teachers from South Africa on Dec. 17, 2013. The South African students came to Northbridge in order to experience a day in the life of an American high schooler. They shadowed our students to school, to advisory, to their lockers, and to lunch. Our student ambassadors at Northbridge High School forged sincere and touching bonds with these South African students and ended the trip by taking a group picture and exchanging hugs with their South African counterparts. The South African teachers visited Physical Education, Foreign Language, Science, and English classrooms where they were guest lecturers for the day. They taught lessons based on their native language, Afrikaans, lessons on unique, native South African botany, and indigenous dance. 10 • Friday, January 17, 2014 Blackstone Valley Tribune LEARNING Closing the gap ‘Chronicle’ highlights Blackstone Valley Tech UPTON — An upcoming epi- manufacturing shop corresponds sode of WCVB-TV’s “Chronicle” to what I’m learning in my actual will examine Blackstone Valley math class,” Burdick explained.
