NORTHBRIDGE — The Magnus Aquatic Group that swims out of the Whitin Community Center recently won the 2009 New England Championships held in White River Junction, Vt. The group also won the 12-and-under and the 13-and-over New England championships. Recently the Magnus Aquatic Group-Whitinsville site held a party where they raised and donated over 100 toys for the local Whitinsville office of Blackstone Valley Family Services. The swimmers were also fortunate to have a visit from Lance Corporals Brackett and LeVerde from the United States Marine Corps. Magnus swimmers young and old are so happy to be part of the Whitinsville community and are proud to represent this area in all stages of competition. The team attended two important meets this month. One was at Harvard University, where a majority of the swimmers swam and had amaz- ing performances. A second group of elite swimmers headed to Junior Nationals in Ohio.

BY KEITH GRIFFIN

The Ford Fusion Hybrid is one of the finalists for the Internet Car of the Year, an award jury that I created. The winner will be announced during the Chicago Auto Show media days Feb. 10-11. (Go to www.internetcarandtruck- oftheyear.com for complete info on the awards.) The Fusion Hybrid is a deserving contender for this award, which was voted on by 12 of the leading Internet automotive writers from across the U.S., because it is a game changer in the hybrid vehi- cle field. Simply put, it’s the best hybrid on the market because it’s the best sedan with a hybrid pow- ertrain. Let me qualify that statement somewhat. I have not driven the third-generation Toyota Prius yet. However, based on what oth- ers have written and the fact that it’s not a finalist for Internet Car of the Year, I’m still going to stand by belief. The 2010 Ford Fusion Hybrid is probably the best overall hybrid sedan on the market. What’s got me convinced is how effortless it is to achieve strong weather had been warmer, it has could provide for an uncomfort- Curb weight: 3720 lbs. fuel economy while not depriving an electric air-conditioning com- able driving experience.
