The students eagerly awaited the show.

DOUGLAS — With temperatures rising, schools are finding more fun activities for their students to take part in — and what could be more exciting for Douglas Intermediate Elementary students than rockets? The event, which took place on Thursday,May 24, was part of the school’s “Space Week: Protecting Our Place in Space.” The week included speeches by Dr. David Wright, a physicist with the Union of Concerned Scientists, Donna Taylor, a NASA NEAT (Network of Educator Astronaut Teacher) teacher and Sam Ortega, NASA’s Centennial Challenge Program Manager, as well as programs such as rocket building. Photographer for the day James Peck gets in on the action.

From left, Thomas D’Amico, Joseph Delorme, Luke Pilkington, Carmelo Lugo, Brandon Daubney, Ethan Guertin, Henry Torpey and James Peck spent three Friday afternoons learning about rockets with Andrews to prepare for this big day.

Brandon Daubney was lucky to catch a rocket, as most rockets got caught in the nearby trees. 8 • Friday, June 1, 2012 BLACKSTONE VALLEY TRIBUNE LEARNING An eye to the future CLASS PRESIDENT LOOKS AHEAD TO COLLEGE AND CAREER

Ford Fusion, Hyundai’s Direct Technology Honored with New England Awards

BY KEITH GRIFFIN

The New England Motor Press Association recently presented two major awards that I wanted to share with you because, even though the awards were made by a regional group, they achieved national promi- nence. It all took place at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s Sloan School of Management at NEMPA’s annual meeting and awards dinner. Industry folks from across the country were there to receive the awards, which means not a hill of beans to you but this news is interesting because the awards will have some significance on your daily lives. The 2013 Ford Fusion has won the Gene Ritvo Award, which honors the best in design in the automotive world, from concept to production to marketing. The honor is awarded to the vehicle that best defines elegance in design.

Last year, Volvo it’s heartening to see a manufacturer Fusion – a car not on sale yet but one ““When reviewing all the entries was awarded the Yankee Cup for the like Hyundai developing technolo- that has garnered a lot of attention for the Design and Elegance unique safety enhancements avail- gies that address the very real con- since its introduction earlier this Award,”” said Meghan Melvin of the MFA, ““we appreciated the simplici- ty of line of the Fusion’s detailing, the subtle shaping of the hood and the distinctive front composition of the vehicle.”” The design of the all-new Fusion, on sale later this year, was built upon five key elements: ï Silhouette innovation: Fusion’s sleek profile sets it apart from the ““three-box”” powertrain/cabin/trunk designs synonymous with midsize sedans ï Perceived efficiency: Fusion char- acter lines sweeping to the rear and thin roof pillars suggest the car is nimble and light on its feet ï Refined surface language: Fusion demonstrates that a tasteful, well- executed design does not require add- ons or visual clutter ï Technical graphics: Fusion’s func- tional design elements such as head- lamps, LED taillamps and polished exhaust tips communicate enhanced technological capability ï New face: Fusion signals the next evolution in Ford global design lan- guage for midsize cars and smaller ““Gene would have been pleased to see a car like the Ford Fusion win this award,”” said Keith Griffin, NEMPA president (and author of this article). ““It’s an elegant vehicle that is a true head turner. At the same time, it’s practical transporta- tion. I was happy to see the Museum of Fine Arts and Larz Anderson – who partnered with NEMPA for the first time this year in judging the entries – select this as the winner.”” Plus, as more than one automotive journalist has noted, the Ford Fusion, because of its exterior design and interior features, is going to give Lincoln a run for its money.
