SATURDAYS UXBRIDGE — GENEALOGY WORKSHOPS. NBC’s popular primetime program “Who Do You Think You Are?” and the continuing advertising by the show’s sponsor, Ancestry.com,have awakened in many people an interest in genealogy and family history. The new interest in genealogy and family his- tory sparked by the program is prompting many people in the towns of the Blackstone Valley to go through their shoe boxes of fam- ily papers and old photo albums in search of their own roots. Assistance is freely available at workshops held every other Saturday from 10 a.m. to noon at the Uxbridge Free Public Library, led by Mike Potaski. These work- shops provide knowledge resources and guid- ance to assist participants in acquiring the knowledge and skills to conduct their own research.

Labrie addresses NHS law students NORTHBRIDGE — With fresh driver’s licenses in their wallets and new texting while driving laws on the books, students taking the law course at Northbridge High School welcomed Lt. Timothy Labrie of the Northbridge Police Department to their class on Monday, May 2. For the second time this school year, Lt. Labrie took time out of his schedule to speak to the class. He opened with an overview of the crim- inal laws he enforces every day and then opened the floor to student questions about how the police try to prevent or deal with crime in society. His audience of juniors and seniors, some of whom hope to pursue careers in law enforcement and forensic science, had prepared questions before the event. Students asked several questions on a wide array of topics, and Labrie said he was impressed with their quality and their level of interest in what he had to say. Some wanted to know about the type of training he received, whether he enjoys his job, the most typical kinds of crime in Northbridge, and how busy the police department is. As a part of his discussion, he also cautioned students on the dan- gers of using drugs and alcohol because he feels that they can serve as a “gateway to other drugs,” theft, and violence. He indicated that those who use drugs don’t just hurt themselves, they hurt society by turning to crime to feed their drug habits. In parting, Lt. Labrie encouraged students to follow up with ques- tions through e-mail. 10 • Friday, May 20, 2011 BLACKSTONE VALLEY TRIBUNE A day of learning at Douglas Intermediate Elementary School

BY GREG SEBASTIAO SPORTS CORRESPONDENT UXBRIDGE — Uxbridge High School senior Dan Tessier is a rare breed. He’s a talented and focused three-sport athlete that was named captain of the varsity football, bas- ketball and baseball teams this past year. He’s been a veteran leader and a great role model to all his team- mates during his time as a Spartan and there’s no doubt that the teams he has played for will miss him greatly next year. “It’s been good; it’s been fun,” said Tessier of being a three-sport cap- tain. “Everyone has their own mind- set, so I kind of had to adapt and be able to motivate each person a dif- ferent way, but it’s been fun being the leader and having everyone look up to me on all of the teams.” It’s not often that a high school player is focused on playing three sports all four years of high school, but for Tessier it was easy to be an athlete all year round.

BY KEITH GRIFFIN

It's important as a reviewer to be upfront when you have biases that color your perceptions. I have an unabashed bias towards all things Audi. Frankly, since I first reviewed an Audi 5000 back in 1987, there has never been an Audi that graced my driveway that I did not like. It's important to keep in mind that the first Audi I ever reviewed was the one that was accused falsely, of course, of being guilty of unintended acceleration (an issue that raised its inaccurate head again last year with Toyota, of course). If I liked a car that I thought could kill me, then I was bound to like Audi. Fast forward almost 24 years and the all-new Audi A8 shows up for me to review. I had been first exposed to it in a static display at the end of 2009 at an art show in Miami and again at the Newport Concours d'Elegance in The 2011 Audi A8 is more fuel efficient, more powerful, and better looking thanks to many improvements for the third generation of the German luxury sedan.
