PASTA NIGHT AT RHODES HOUSE

Courtesy photo MILLBURY — From left, Cynde Balazs, of Sutton, former member of the Blackstone Valley Women’s Club and its former co-chair of Domestic Violence; Constance Dwyer, of Sutton, founder and president of the club; and Marie Bastone, of Northbridge, trea- surer of the club, take a moment for a picture before meeting the women at Rhodes House in Millbury where Cynde Balazs was preparing to help the women cook an original pasta sauce from her relative in Italy. The plan was for the clubwomen and Rhodes women to eat together the next day, Jan. 21, but the snowstorm hit! Two brave BVWC women braved the snows — Sheila Newman of Northbridge and her husband, Chuck, delivered a salad and club member Kathy Halloran, now of Sutton and formerly chairman of the Grafton School Committee, arrived and was asked to stay and eat the meal prepared for 40. Blackstone Valley Women club members donated all the food for the supper. Leftovers for Rhodes saved a lot of cooking time for the women over the next few days. Looks like a cookout in better weather will be a better option at Rhodes! The women at Rhodes House are in a recovery program for drug and alcohol addiction. Blackstone Valley Women’s Club Chairman of Domestic Violence, Cyndi Davis (absent from photo), of Sutton, has invited the club over the past two years to give ongoing support to the women at Rhodes by donating clothing, house items, presents at Christmas for the women’s children and giving soaps and lotions in handmade “beauty bags” sewn by Cyndi Davis and another Clubwoman Kristi Cromwell of Sutton. 10 • Friday, March 14, 2014 Blackstone Valley Tribune EDUCATION NOTEBOOK

BY KEITH GRIFFIN Kia has introduced its first luxury sedan: the 2015 Kia K900. On the tech- nical and aesthetic levels the car suc- ceeds but can it excel on the most cru- cial level: the marketplace? Let’s address the important infor- mation first. The Kia K900 is a rear- wheel drive luxury sedan offered in two powertrains: a 420-horsepower V8 or a 311-horsepower V6. The V8 model goes on sale first with the V6 to follow later this spring. It comes packed with standard lux- ury features on the V8 model, includ- ing: adaptive LED headlights, heated leather steering wheel; standard Nappa leather; soft-hue LED interior illumination; genuine walnut (with black Nappa leather) or poplar (with white Nappa leather) wood trim sweeps across the dash and door pan- els; 12-way adjustable driver’s seat, including power lumbar support; front and rear seats with multi-stage heating and ventilation; reclining rear seats; and a full-length panoram- ic roof with power retractable sun- shade. Other nice features are a 9.2-inch navigation screen, a 900-watt Lexicon sound system with 17 speakers that you can barely get to 50 percent before needing to turn it down, adaptive cruise control with full stop, sur- round view monitor for 369 degree view of the vehicle, and rear cross- traffic alert. The K900 also comes with rear- wheel drive. Don't expect all-wheel Photo © Greg Jarem for Kia drive any time soon. As Orth The Kia K900 is the brand's first shot at what it calls modern luxury.
