Having trouble affording your mortgage?
Are you on the verge of foreclosure?
There are many ways to get
out of a home you can no
longer afford. Foreclosure is
one of the hardest & the most
detrimental for both the
homeowner & the lender. It is
a process that destroys the
homeowner's credit, embarrasses the family and strips
an owner of dignity. For owners who can no longer afford
to keep mortgage payments
current, there are alternatives to bankruptcy or foreclosure proceedings. One of
those options is called a
"Short Sale."
When lenders agree to do a
short sale in real estate, it
means the lender is accepting
less than the total amount
due. A short sale typically is
executed to prevent a home
foreclosure. Often, a bank
will agree to a Short Sale if
they believe that it will result
in a smaller financial loss
than foreclosing. For the
home owner, the advantages
include avoidance of having
a foreclosure on their credit
history. Additionally, a Short
Sale is typically faster and
less expensive than filing
bankruptcy or a foreclosure.
Foreclosure is expensive
for a mortgage lender.
Mortgage Lenders are not in
the business of foreclosing on
houses, they are in business
of making loans. They don't
want the house back. They
prefer to have the Fair
Market Value of the property,
which in this Buyer's Market,
is typically less than the
mortgage amount.
If you think a Short Sale
maybe right for you, or if you
want to learn more, call now
to find out how you can avoid
Foreclosure and save your
credit. We are here to help
you every step of the way.

EDITORIAL
Looking
back,
moving
forward
Where do I begin?
At the end of 2007,
I wrote the following:
“This editor may
have only joined the
staff at the Auburn
News in June and
July, but it feels as
THE MINOR though it’s been an
entire year’s worth
DETAILS
of experiences.”
ADAM
Well, this year, at
MINOR
the end of 2008, it
truly has been an
entire year’s worth of experiences,
and I’m grateful to have shared them
all with you.
A lot of stories stick out in my mind
this year — inspirational, tragic, you
name it — the towns had their share
of moments. There are so many in
fact, that I couldn’t even begin to
write about them without going over
the space limit on this page. After all,
words can only say so much.
When it all comes down to it, it is
the pictures that say it all. That is
why we chose to do a photo issue for
our “Year in Review” this year —
because pictures are more powerful
than words can ever hope to be.
So, whether the photos you find in
these pages make you laugh, bring
back a memory, or bring tears,
remember that you all have the
opportunity to create your own memories this year, and we look forward
to this time next year — the end of
2009 — when we can sit down, open
up the photo album that was 2009, and
look back at all the memories with all
of you.
So this year, dust off those cameras,
snap away and send us your best —
you never know when your photo
may be featured in the Auburn News.
We love to run photos from the community, so please, feel free to send
them my way at aminor@stonebridgepress.com, or mail at 25 Elm
St., Southbridge, MA 01550. You can
also send them to Auburn News
reporter
Teresa
Franco
at
tfranco@stonebridgepress.com.
Despite the hardships of the economy this year, the Auburn community

he recent “weather events” seem to me
an apt summation of 2008. The ice and
snow storms of December remind me
of just what a tumultuous year this has
been — not just in terms of the weather, but in
terms of politics, the economy, wars, dissension, and the general uneasiness that takes us
into the 10th year (if you start with 2000) of the
21st century.
It was, after all, a year of great highs and
lows, of record-breaking gas prices (more than
$4 a gallon, remember?) followed by the lowest
gas prices in more than a decade. We don’t
understand what caused either the unprecedented hikes or the heavensent drop, but we’ll enjoy
the latter while we have it,
and prepare for the next
round of inexplicable fluctuations.
It was also a year of unrelenting political turmoil,

given point in time and
seemed to determine the
outcome for us, or in spite of the concerns of a
good many Americans.
In terms of the economy, we also broke
records — most of them related to record drops
in the stock market, record collapses of major
banking and lending institutions, record losses
of jobs and retirement funds and savings. Big
Oil recorded record profits and CEOs of even
failing corporations enjoyed record bonuses
while you and I agreed (though I don’t recall
being asked) to provide record “bailouts” of
those who were responsible for our predicament in the first place.
It all calls to mind the ancient bit of wisdom:
“When you find yourself in a hole, stop digging.” But in 2008, we didn’t stop digging; we
simply threw more money (your money and
my money) into the hole to help the hole diggers climb out on the backs of regular
Americans.
But the recent lousy weather, I think, gives us
real reason for hope. As inconvenient and
potentially life threatening as it was, it brought
many people back to an appreciation of what
was — and is — truly important. Although our
town (Southbridge) was spared in the ice storm
that left thousands of our friends, co-workers,
and acquaintances powerless for days, we all
know of someone who was in dire need and
found succor from family, friends, or even
strangers.
The snowstorms that followed the ice storms
brought us real signs of hope by bringing back
the equilibrium; everybody got hit equally
hard (OK, so Fitchburg is the exception that
proves the rule!); everybody had a hand in the
cleanup and a stake in the recovery. This was
when the hole digging stopped and the “digging
out” began — as a communal effort.
Whether with snow blowers or snow shovels,
our neighborhood tackled the storm falls efficiently. Individuals emerged from house after
house and machined or manhandled the snow
to clear paths to the street or sidewalk, and to
reclaim the family vehicle(s) from thick white
canopies of snow. (It’s worth mentioning that
in our neighborhood the octogenarian across
the street, my mom’s high school classmate, is
typically the first one out and about, the one
who goes farthest afield with his snow blower,
clearing at least half the street-length of sidewalks. Sometimes he even turns the corner
onto the next street. And the next one. He sets
the example. Maybe it has to do with his generations having made it through both the Great
Depression and the Big War. Maybe our current difficulties aren’t so difficult to him!).
In any case, my appreciation of “digging out”
was further heightened when I made it down to
the Post Office for our final Christmas mailing
and found a dozen or so Christmas carolers
raising spirits with their “joyful noise.” I
thought they must be collecting for some worthy cause and tried to give them a donation, but
they insisted they didn’t want anything —
except to spread the word of the real meaning
of Christmas.
That’s when it hit me that I had spent all
morning just getting dug out and downtown for
Saturday errands and they had done all that
and found the time and energy to spread
Christmas cheer. Then I remembered the local
food pantries, the toy drives, the overcoat collections, and the emergency heating oil funds
that have been launched of late. And I decided
that Dickens was right: It can be the “best of
times” and “the worst of times” at the same
time. It’s in dealing with the worst that we can
discover our best, turning fear into faith and
despair into hope.
That’s when I decided that “digging out” is
what it’s all about. That’s how we get out of
snowstorms and back into life, and how we’ll
get out of economic hardships, disheartening
scandals, moral dilemmas, and social injustices.
Digging out is how we’ll have to start 2009, no
doubt. There’s a whole lot of winter left, but
there’s also a whole lot of endurance, generosity, and Christian charity left as well — at least
in our neighborhood. And if necessary, one of
us will drive my mom’s classmate over to your
neighborhood to help get your digging out
started.

VIEWPOINT
A Flying Leap: Oh, the Agony of Defeat!
M
y New Year’s resolution
for the great 2009 is to
not break my neck.
This may sound strange, though
it is certainly not unreasonable …
provided I refrain from all things
that involve a sled, a 10 foot hill,
and running, jumping, flying leaps
onto snow tubes.
I have a problem with flying
leaps. A flying leap over an air conditioner box this summer resulted
in a broken pinky toe, which I
swear sometimes still bothers me
when I try to balance all of my body
weight on that one toe. I have been
told this happens to anyone who
tries to balance their entire body
weight on a single small toe, but I
refuse to believe it.
In any case, I took Flying Leap
Number Two this past weekend,
during our epic snowstorm. It
occurred as I began to demonstrate,
for all siblings present, the act of
correctly mounting a snow tube so
as to maximize the speed of said
snow tube down a rather petite hill
in our backyard.
One thing I did accomplish in my
demonstration
was, in fact, maximizing speed … of
some
kind.
I
believe the sort of
speed I maximized
may be classified
as the wrong sort
— as in, the sort
that quickly lands
you on your face in a drift of snow
on a hill with your neck bending
sideways as your entire body
begins twisting above you, back
stretching until you are balancing
your all of your weight on your
head and neck before you come
crashing and tumbling down the 10foot hill. It does, in fact, hurt more
to balance one’s body weight unexpectedly on one’s neck than to purposefully, half-faking it, attempt to
maybe sort of balance one’s body
weight on one’s toe.
And, yes, I am an expert at
demonstrating the unique and
thrilling technique of the flying
leap.
I’d never tried it in the snow
until that day, but after ascertaining the damages — a crumpled self

believe that, indeed, the
KRISTINA idea of taking a flying
REARDON leap down a rather
small hill may actually
be worth the risk. This
is, of course, not for the faint of
heart. It is, however, for Slovenians.
You see, I believe I was only living up to my great Slovenian heritage as I attempted this glorious
sledding feat. If I had been on skis,
my fall would have rivaled that of
Vinko Bogataj. What, you say? Who
is Vinko Bogataj? He is the skilled
skier who made accidentally cartwheeling down ski slopes an art,
forever etched into the memory of
popular culture in his “Agony of
Defeat” clip shown time and time
again on ABC’s “Wide World of
Sports.”
And yes, we are both Slovenian.
Better yet, my fall was really that
good.
I know this because there is photographic evidence. This evidence

is in the form of a photo (well, obviously I know, but I’m getting there:)
taken by my mother as I fell. I will
describe the scene:
Me: Hey, everybody! Watch this!
I’m going to clear a new path for the
sled! Man, this snow is deep — but
wait a second, in order to do this,
you’ve really got to throw yourself
into it, take a flying leap —
[Running start, jump onto snow

and being rather slippery, slide

appearing to have snapped my neck
and be paralyzed for life.]

SNAP!
Sister: Oooh — oooh, God, that

[Runs over.]
Father: Can you move your neck?
Can you move?
Me: [Silence]
14-year-old Brother: I’ll help!
[Throws snowball in my face.]
Me: Hey!
Mother’s
Camera:
*Flash!*
SNAP!
Sister: This is not funny! Put that
thing away — *Flash!* SNAP!
You can clearly see, from the
above scene, that all members of
my family were equally concerned
about my well-being.
In all reality, I must stress to
young readers that the art of the
flying leap is one which is perhaps
unable to be mastered, even by
experts like me. It is because I am
an expert that I survive flying
leaps, though it is impossible, I
have proven, to escape without seriously risking one’s life. Therefore,
it would be not be wise to attempt
any such feats ever, anywhere,
under any circumstances.
And it would be even more
unwise to attempt any such feats
without a mother with a camera
standing nearby, ready to snap a
picture of you balancing on your
neck at the exact moment of the flying leap’s demise.
Well, you know … I’m just sayin.’
Kristina Reardon contributes a
column to Stonebridge Press
Newspapers.
In the end, it was Obama and the economy, stupid
W
hat will be our
lasting memory
of 2008?
Is there a singular event
that came to define the year
that was? Or was it a collection of happenings and occurrences that shaped the year as
a whole — a kaleidoscope, if
you will, through which we
can view the 12 months we
now leave in the rearview mirror?
You will find no unexpected answers to
those questions in this column.
Without a doubt, the two most significant
events of the past year were the election of
Barack Obama as our next president and the
swift and decisive collapse of an economy
that, in hindsight, was built for precisely
such a fate.
Both were, at once, both national and local
in scope.
In the former case, we witnessed perhaps
the greatest example of perfect timing ever. It
was the collision of a man who believed he
was destined to lead and nation of people
who were desperate for a new leader. It was
the genius of a political machine that

not. It was, quite simply, fate
that saw this upstart politician
come into a play at a time when
both technology and political unrest had so
many of us in their grips.
While McCain turned to the past and get
folks to tap into their inner fighter, Obama
stared unfalteringly into the future and
dared others to take a peek with him. He
promised the moon; not a startling departure
from many liberals before him. The difference is that, for the first time in perhaps fourplus decades, there was an army of people
thirsting for just that kind of promise.
It didn’t seem to matter too much whether
it could, or would, ever be fulfilled. What mattered is that suddenly a nation saw a chance
to make history, to elect a president literally
unlike any other before him, to not only distance itself from an administration with
whom it had grown disillusioned, but completely amputate it.
Obama seized the opportunity before him.
And the bottom fell out.
Not from under Obama, of course, but from
B ’
N
under the rest of us.
The economic platform on which we had
all been standing — but had long since forgotten was even there — finally gave out. We
swore we hadn’t heard any creaking, hadn’t
seen any signs of rot. In truth, the signs were
aplenty. It’s just that we thought others were
keeping watch.
They weren’t.
The collapse of Wall Street and the calamity among banks, the auto industry and the
real estate market didn’t just sting us. It
knocked us down to the canvas. Sadly, thousands are still lying there, not completely
unconscious, but as groggy as Apollo Creed
and Rocky Balboa in the final round of their
second confrontation.
The difference between this situation and
that however is that, beyond the fact that one
was a movie and the other is reality, is that
the round is still going on. The bell hasn’t yet
sounded.
So there we are, millions of us, flailing
around wildly in hopes that we can grasp the
bottom rope, then the next, and the next and,
ultimately, the top rope, where we can, like
that stubborn and determined Rocky Balboa,
pull ourselves onto our feet and declare victory.
What we absolutely can’t afford to be is

Without question, 2008 was the year of
Obama and the economy. There were other
subplots, to be sure, including the introduction of a heretofore unknown Alaskan with a
penchant for both hunting and interviews
with Greta Van Susteren.
Oh and there were still a couple of wars
going on.
The camera, however, was squarely
focused on those two subjects.
On the one hand, we had the Chicago senator who proved to be agile enough to avoid
even the most seemingly treacherous of political pitfalls. Agility? Were he a football player, he would have rivaled Gale Sayers.
On the other, the economy. Seemingly
healthy one minute, but Brian Piccolo the
next.
The year 2008 has come to a close. But the
two stars of 2008 are still with us — one for at
least the next four years, the other we better
hope is but a distant memory in four years.
So now it’s 2009. A new president will come
into power. Where he leads us is anybody’s
guess. The economy will continue to struggle,
at least for now, according to the experts.
When it regains its full health? That’s anybody’s guess as well.

Going to church… and the mall
B
y the time you read this, the
annual question of “Merry
Christmas!”
or
“Happy
Holidays!” will be set aside for
another year, and the general goodwill
of the season and the screams of appreciative children (I hope) will render
that discussion a distant memory.
But as I write this, I am in the middle of
observing my faith by going to church and
preparing to observe the holiday by going
to the malls. I am like most Christians who
were brought up “right.” I know that in
order to really celebrate the birth of my
savior, I must spend an average of 40
hours at stores during the month of
December. I must put up lights and I must
put up a tree. These are traditions and
truly do have a significance around the
notion of spreading good will.
It is important to admit that waiting in
line at the mall stinks. Also, there is no
easier way to ensure that you are going to
walk 10 miles on a given day than by starting your visit to the mall with a parking
spot that is about a mile and a half away
from the door. I will confess that I get
impatient while shopping, and that I medicate myself by eating Mrs. Fields’ cookies
or the free samples at Lindt’s Chocolates.
Given that roughly 75 percent of
Americans are Christian, and only a few
denominations do not observe Christmas
in a relatively similar fashion, it is not surprising that some of us would get upset by
the “secularization” of Christmas. That is
having store clerks and others offer wishes of “Happy Holidays” instead of “Merry
Christmas.” The priest at my parish
offered a very thoughtful article about his
views in the bulletin just this week. It will
surprise nobody that I am do not join with
those who are offended.
I am not fond of the word “Merry.” It is
not a word that I use much and it doesn’t
address for me what is most important
about Christmas. But, I will concede for
now, that in general terms it means “joyous.” Now, there’s a word I can appreciate.
I want to be joyous about this holiday. But
I want to be joyous not because of buying
or receiving presents. I want to be joyous
because I believe that the birth of Christ
represents a call to peace. That is what I
believe the season has come to mean in the
larger, universal context.
I started off by saying that I am observing my faith by going to church, and
observing this holiday by going to the
malls. That is cynical, but it has become
too true. In 2001, in the American
Religious Identification Survey, it was
found that 5.2 percent of people were nonChristian and 15 percent reported being of
no religion, agnostic or atheist. A more
staggering statistic from that survey is
that 40 percent of those surveyed who
identified with a given religion did not
belong to a church. While an awful lot of
people will have gone to the mall at every
given opportunity during this month of
December, will just as many people have
gone to church more often during this
month?
My point is that I think it is over the top
to be offended by whatever term is used.
Already holiday is obviously derived from
“holy day.” Every government approved
day off in this country is called a holiday.
While those of us who are Christian know
that Christmas is observing the birth of
Christ, so many of us spend more energy
on the secular than the religious anyway.
It is also worth mentioning that
Christmas is the only government-sanctioned holiday of religious origin that
happens during a workweek and mandates a day off for American workers.
Given this special treatment, is it not surprising that those without religious
beliefs or those of other faiths would have
opinions on the appropriateness of further
emphasizing
the
inherent
inequitable treatment. Remember, we are
a country guaranteed by the Constitution
as having a separation of church and
state.
But let’s face it; this discussion is not
about the Constitution. It is about us
Christians feeling like someone else is taking something away from us. But I don’t
really think the taking away is an external
action. I think Christians have actively
participated in the secularization of
Christmas. Before I make the case that
every person with whom I come in contact
has to greet with “Merry Christmas” or
“Joyous Christmas,” I must be sure that I
am observing my faith and not the other
aspects of the holiday season. When I am
certain that the holiday has indeed
become more of a “holy day” for me than
anything else, I will join those who want to
hear the phrase “Merry Christmas” exclusively once again.

The Bay Path Minutemen won their second championship in December, and first since 2004, when the
team defeated Bristol Plymouth, 26-6, at Veteran Memorial Stadium. Pictured, offensive stars Erik
Peterson, Matt Hall and Granger Stenman, from left, celebrate after the victory.
The Webster Youth Soccer Boys U12/Division II team won the MAYS (Midland Areas Youth Soccer)
Championship on Sunday, June 22, and competed in the Mass Tournament of Champions in Lancaster,

On Saturday, June 7, the Auburn Rockets won the
Central Mass. Division 2 finals, 11-1, over rival
Oxford at Tivnan Field. Pictured, Oxford’s Joe
Piscitelli did his best to keep Auburn from growing
their lead.
On Tuesday, April 22, Bay Path pitcher Ryan Turner,
pictured, was almost un-hittable — literally. Turner
took a no-hitter into the seventh inning against
Pathfinder, but an infield single by Kyle Pubieglo
ruined the no-no bid for Turner. However, his team
came out on top, 10-0.
After a nearly decade-long drought, the Oxford Junior League All-Stars were once again the toast of Central
Massachusetts. The team of 13- and 14-year-olds finished its undefeated run through the District 5 tournament Saturday, July 12, with a 7-3 win over Douglas at Greenbriar Park — the first time Oxford has won the
championship since 1999. Pictured, Douglas starting pitcher Justin DeFreites, right, tries to grab the ball
at home plate and prevent Oxford’s starting pitcher, Nick Lemey, left, from scoring the team’s third run.

The Shepherd Hill golf team headed into its match Thursday, Oct. 16, undefeated. This time, instead of facing only one other opponent, a total of 12 teams took the course at Leicester Country Club for the Southern
Worcester County League Championship. Once again the Rams came out on top, shooting a team score of
312. Shepherd Hill also took home the individual medalist, as Matt Schmidt, pictured, shot an even par 70.
On Monday, April 21, the Shepherd Hill softball team’s bats came alive against Tantasqua. The game was
eventually called off when the Rams built up a 16-1 lead with two outs in the sixth inning. Shepherd Hill
pitcher Meg Lennon, pictured, allowed only one run, and was 2-for-4 at the plate.
Area football squads did not fare so well during the annual Thanksgiving Day rivalry games. In Webster, the Bartlett Indians were shut out by the Southbridge Pioneers, 33-0; in a close one in Sturbridge, Tantasqua narrowly beat Shepherd Hill, 33-27, to remain undefeated; and in Auburn, the Oxford Pirates were easily handed their 10th loss of the season, losing their ninth straight Thanksgiving Day game to the Auburn Rockets, 4212.
Two area cheerleading squads proved they are the best of the best Saturday, March 15. The Bartlett High School Cheerleading Team was near perfection, claiming their first New England High School Championship at
Woburn Memorial High School, accumulating 202 points, and the Division III Crown. Meanwhile, on the same day, the Shepherd Hill Regional High School cheerleaders placed third at the New England Championships,
held at Walpole High School.

MILFORD/WEBSTER —
The Rev. Thomas E.

His beloved wife of 53
years, Mary B. (Bowman)

A son of Andrew and Edith (Mack) Chase,
he was born and raised in New Bedford and

moved to Bangor, Maine, where he earned a
Bachelor of Arts from the University of

ordained to the priesthood.
For more than 25 years, the Rev. Chase was
a printer at the New Bedford Standard Times

he served in Maine as an associate until
being named rector of the Church of the

to 2001, when he retired.
The Rev. Chase was a member of Trinity

He was preceded in death by his brother,
Tommy Williams, of Hudson, and by his sister, Frances Averson, of Omaha, Neb.
Born and raised in Duluth, Minn., he was a
son of Warren “Rip” and Frances (Knaus)
Williams. He moved to Webster in 1983. He
graduated from East High School and attended the University of Minnesota, both in
Duluth.
Mr. Williams was a resident engineer for
the Massachusetts Bay Transit Authority for
many years, before retiring in 2005.
A man of deep and unwavering faith, Mr.
Williams was a communicant of St. Joseph

Mr. Williams and his brothers spent their

One of his many friends said, “He was a
true inspiration and taught a lot of us how to
live and die.” His strength, perseverance and
undying love will be carried on in the hearts
of his family.

Not everyone is jumping off the cliff
The educator and philosopher, Will Durant, said, “A
great civilization is not conquered from without until it
has destroyed itself from within.”
With that in mind, many
Americans cringe at what they
see around them, fearing the
demise of a great nation.
EYOND
Advertisements, movies and
public conversations have
THE EWS
sunk to new moral lows; our
society as a whole seems to
have forfeited the sacred, the
JOHN
pure and the modest values
HANSON
that made our country great.
Greed and corruption now
dominate much of the corporate and political world. Intact
families and decent relationships are hard to
come by. Hard work, honesty and decency are rare
gems in a culture that has removed God from
school and the public square and replaced Him
with the gods of humanism, science and selfishness. It seems like “everybody’s doing it.”
Many of you may remember your parents trying to save you from making the same poor choices your peers were making by arguing, “Just
because your friends jump off a cliff, doesn’t
B
P
mean you have to jump off too!” Maybe you are
numbered among those who stand dumbfounded at the sea of humanity that is unthinkingly
marching toward moral and social suicide. You
might be troubled by the overabundance of bad
news, bad attitudes and bad relationships. But
not everyone is jumping off the cliff. There are
bright lights shining in a dark world. Look for
them. Celebrate them. Be one of them.
Allow me to share just one example of a
bright light in our dark world. There are a
group of teenagers and young adults, who
attend the church I pastor, who have chosen to
live on a higher plane than their culture. Not
only do they attend church, but they are all
involved in some kind of ministry. Several
years ago several of them came to me and
requested that I allow them to meet for prayer. I
gladly agreed and the prayer meetings have
been life-changing for them and a great blessing
to our assembly. Then, more recently, a few of
these youth began writing a weekly blog. They
are sharing their values and proclaiming their
faith — on their own steam. Their comments can
be viewed at www.newfreethinkers.com.
If you take time to read their blog, you will
quickly notice that the young people mentioned
above are choosing to live lives of purity and
integrity. They don’t smoke, drink, cuss, sleep
around, take off their clothes in public, or watch
dirty movies. They are choosing to live addictionfree, chaste and unashamed of their faith.
Refreshing, isn’t it?
The fact is that, just as civilizations are conquered from within, individuals can only be conquered when they allow themselves to be changed
from within. No matter how godless, violent, or
immoral the world around us becomes, you and I
have control over who we are as individuals.
There are still people who are choosing well.
There are still families and groups of people who
are holding themselves to high standards and
enjoying the benefits of hard work, faithfulness
and biblical lifestyles. There are still people who
attend church regularly, meet in one another’s
homes for prayer, and show Christian love to
those around them. Some people are standing
firm; they’re not jumping.
Keep your dignity. Insure integrity within your
own mind and heart. Take advantage of God’s
promise to fill you with His Spirit and give you
inner strength. Choose life. Find others who are
doing the same. Be a bright spot in a dark world.
Not everyone is jumping off the cliff.

Ministries of Thompson CT, where people strive for
moral and spiritual excellence. Learn more at

North American Car & Truck of the Year
Will Be Two Safe Selections by the Jurors
BY KEITH GRIFFIN
Journalists are fond of lists,
especially at the end of the year
when things can be kind of slow
in
the
news
department.
Automotive writers are no exception. That’s why I’m glad the
finalists for the North American
Car of the Year and Truck of the
Year are announced in December.
It always gives me something to
write about.
In case you missed it, this year’s
nominees are two European
automakers, two domestics and
for the first time a Korean
automaker. Two of the six vehicles are new, clean diesels that
can be sold in all 50 states. In 16
years this is the first time a
diesel-powered vehicle has been
a finalist, according to a press
release from North American
Car of the Year, and now there
are two.
A group of 50 automotive journalists voted the Ford Flex,
Hyundai
Genesis
and
Volkswagen Jetta TDI as finalists
for the 2009 North American Car
of the Year. I know a lot of these
guys and I’m not surprised by
their selections. The manufacturers have put on a full-court
press for all three of these vehicles, so it’s not shocking to see
them make the final cut. The
Dodge Ram, Ford F-150 and
Mercedes-Benz ML320 BlueTEC
are finalists for the 2009 North
American Truck of the Year.
The semi-finalists for Car of the
Year were Audi A4; BMW 1
Series; Cadillac CTS-V; Dodge
Challenger; Ford Flex; Honda
Fit; Hyundai Genesis; Jaguar XF;
Lincoln MKS; Mazda 6; Nissan
GT-R; Pontiac G8; Toyota Venza;
and Volkswagen Jetta TDI.
Frankly, I’m stumped by the
omission of the GT-R, but I sense
a bit of burnout on this sports
car. It’s received a lot of hype and
writers might be getting sick of
it. Personally, I would have
bumped the Audi A4 for the Jetta
TDI, but I haven’t driven the TDI
so my opinion might be different.
I hope to drive it someday soon.
The semi-finalists for Truck of
the Year were: BMW X6;
Chevrolet Traverse; Dodge Ram;
Ford F-150; Honda Pilot; Infiniti
FX35/50; Kia Borrego; MercedesBenz ML320 BlueTEC; Nissan
Murano; Subaru Forester; and,
Volkswagen Tiguan. I’ve only
driven the Borrego briefly and
found it pleasant enough. The
same is true of the Honda Pilot,
but I’ve spent a week with it. The
BMW X6 is a horrible vehicle
that should have never been
made. I can’t
fault
the
judges on their
selections
because I don’t
have any personal experience with the
finalists.
So, in an atypical move for a
self-important
journalist, I’m
not going to
voice an opinion on the
truck of the
year. It’s not
going to stop
me from making a guess,
though.

reasons. Now that
it appears Chrysler is going to

bailout - the jurors are going to
want to give Dodge a boost.
The VW Jetta TDI uses some new
technology to be a 50-state compliant clean diesel. Even if it
doesn’t win the award, there is
one reason to consider the Jetta
TDI. It comes with a $1300
Federal Income Tax Credit. The
Internal Revenue Service issued
a certification letter affirming
that it qualifies for an Advanced
Lean Burn Technology Motor
Vehicle income tax credit.
The jurors, though, are not going
to be swayed by the diesel technology or the tax credit. The TDI,
in my opinion, is not going to be
a winner because they know
Americans are not ready to
embrace diesel yet. I would,
