CROP WALKERS HELP FIGHT HUNGER
Lorrie Martin brought props, including jellyfish, bearskin, and a stuffed owl, to her talk on outdoor education at CVEF’s Talk of the Towns. | Mark Dionne / Town Times
Talk of the Towns draws a crowd Mark Dionne Town Times
The second Talk of the Towns event, like the first, drew a large crowd to Middlefield’s Indian Springs Golf Course for a set of four talks by local figures. The speakers each had 10 minutes to detail their area of expertise for the crowd of about 100. Put on my the Coginchaug Valley Education Foundation, the Oct. 6 event covered topics like parallel universes,
All sizes and ages (and even one furry “person”) were represented at the annual ecumenical CROP Walk held at Peckham Park in Middlefield on Oct. 25. Walkers raised $2,766 to fight hunger around the world through Church World Service and locally through the congregations represented. Organizers included Judy Hurlbert at Notre Dame, Judy Moeckel at Epiphany, Jackie Clarke at Third Congregational, Sue VanDerzee at Middlefield Federated and Jan Wenzel, walk treasurer, at United Churches. The organizers are still collecting for the cause. Three quarters of the money raised goes to fund Church World Service hunger-fighting programs around the world and one quarter returns to our communities to support hunger-fighting efforts locally. The annual event takes place in the last Sunday of October.

Connie Brown introduced the first speaker by saying, “Mary-Jane Rubenstein is a rock star.” More specifically, Rubenstein is Chair of the Religion Department at Wesleyan University and author of “Worlds Without End,” a By Mark Dionne book about the history and Town Times philosophy of the multiverse.

her own computer, Rubenstein explained why physicists are theorizing the existence of “scadzillions” of universes, including parallel versions of our own. Rubenstein drew laughter from the audience with her explanation of the multiverse, which touched on black holes, string theory, and the “Sliding Doors” proposition where each choice – like getting a cup of coffee – opens up new possible universes. The second speaker, Lorrie Martin, brought the audience back down to earth. Martin, an Outdoor Education Teacher in District 13 since 1977, talked about “Nature Deficit Disorder,” which Martin termed a result of raising children iso-

lated from nature. Martin highlighted the variety of outdoor education experiences in the schools, including aquariums, nature trails, and field trips. By studying the natural world of jellyfish, owls, turkeys, and plants, Martin said, students learn about science and logic and grow their curiosity. “School isn’t supposed to be polite incarceration,” Martin said. Thanks to outdoor education, “Our kids are awash in the natural sciences.” After a break, the third and fourth speakers took over. Mark Jungels talked about his experiences living in China with his wife just before the Tiananmen Square uprising and massacre. With slides to illustrate his experience, Jungels described the “frustrating and hard” conditions of most Chinese. Jungels showed examples of tiny living spaces, alternating days of electricity, rare hot water, and a lack of living goods. “We could laugh about it,” Jungels said, “but we were leaving after a year.” Connie Brown, who emceed part of the night, also gave the last talk. Brown creates artistic, painted wall maps. Although she said she usually does not talk about works in progress, Brown described her work on a map “celebrating the amazing nature and ecological importance of the African elephant.” “I love depicting elephants, but it became very bittersweet” as the animals face extinction due to human factors like poaching, said Brown. The map, which is half done and will be a fund raiser, will illustrate the historic and current range of the elephants. “For everyone involved,” Brown said, “the hope is that baby elephants ... will live full lives and become adult elephants.” At the first Talk of the Town event one year ago, Leslie Bullion previewed her book of science-based poems “Random Body Parts,” John and Colleen Darnell discussed Egyptology, Andrew Taylor explained ways to bridge the doctor-patient

Awesome adventurous journey Troop 27 of Durham, took an amazing white water river rafting and camping trip down the Hudson River. Twelve scouts and adults camped at the Wild Waters Outdoor Center in New York for two nights in August. We traveled about three hours to get to our campground. When we arrived it was dark so we quickly put up our tents and started a warm fire. The next morning we had an early fire and got ready to take the bus to the river. Once we arrived to the Hudson River our rafting guides showed us how to paddle. Then we set off an awesome adventurous journey. We paddled 17 miles. There were some calm sections that we swam through and rough rapids that we cruised through. About halfway down the river we ate lunch. There was a big rock about eight feet high that some of us climbed and jumped off of into the river. Finally, after the amazing trip we went on the bus and headed back to camp. Once we got to the Outdoor Center, we had a homemade pasta dinner made by the staff at Wild Waters. Troop 27 topped the day off

LED bulbs discounted through program With the end of daylight-savings time on Nov. 1, homeowners are more conscious of the lighting they use, so it’s a good time to switch to LED lights. “It’s the time of year we have more hours of non-day light when we’re awake and at home so we’re more conscious about the lighting we use,” said Even Seretan, United Illuminating’s manager of residential services. UI and Eversource, the lighting companies behind Energize Connecticut, the initiative designed to educate residents about making smart energy choices, are promoting the use of LED lightbulbs, which are available at discounts of up to 50 percent at big box stores through Energize Connecticut, Seretan

In addition to brightness, LED bulbs are also available in a variety of color temperatures, from warm yellow to cool daylight. Look for notes on the packaging, along with the Energy Star logo to be sure you get the highest quality bulbs. Seretan added that switching from traditional incandescent bulbs to LED reduces energy use outside your home as well as inside. “Switching lights around your property such as floodlights, walkway fixtures, lamp post lighting and other ornamental lights for the holidays helps save money on energy bills and prevents greenhouse gas emissions that contribute to global climate change,” he said. Energize Connecticut operates the Energize Connecticut Center that informs visitors about renewable energy ideas.

Residents can look for the Energize Connecticut logo on the lighting packages to take advantage of the savings. LED light bulbs are preferable to traditional incandescent bulbs. “They are up to 90 percent more efficient and they can last up to 25 times longer,” Seretan said. “They’re also preferable to fluorescent bulbs because they don’t contain mercury.” Homeowners can choose between three types of LED bulbs: daylight, bright white and soft white. The lumen of the bulb dictates its brightness. If you want to match the light of a traditional incandescent bulb, choose an LED bulb with 2,700 to 3,000 lumens. If you want a brighter bulb, choose 3,500 to 4,100 lumens. If you want the brightest natural daylight tone, choose 5,000 to 6,500 lumens, Seretan said.

Letters to the Editor Generous community
Treasurer
To the editor: We wanted to take a moment to thank the residents of Middlefield and Rockfall for their patience, generosity, and participation throughout this year’s campaign season. As we went door-todoor, made our phone calls, and held our meet-and-greet events, so many were gracious with their time and willingness to talk with us about the issues and concerns you have. We realize that your lives are busy and want you to know how much we appreciate your time. We want you to know that we will continue to do what we can to address those issues and look forward to continuing to work with you. Again, thank you and please keep in touch! Peter Neidhardt, Middlefield Taryn Ruffino, Rockfall
Ready to work
Sincere thanks To the editor: The role of town treasurer is a distinct honor and an important responsibility, for which we do not take lightly. Treasurers are guardians of the public trust, as they provide on-site verification and overview of municipal financial operations. We wish to thank the voters of Durham and Middlefield, respectively, for our re-election. We pledge to support policies and procedures that maintain a high level of financial control. As town treasurers, we plan to strengthen best practices by participating in a county-wide treasurers’ forum. We all share the same goal in continuing to make Durham and Middlefield wonderful towns in which to live and work. Our sincere thanks to the voters for giving us another term to serve you as town treasurers. Wendy Manemeit, Durham Town Treasurer Mary Ann Zieminski, Middlefield Town
To the editor: We want to thank the voters of Middlefield and Rockfall for their support on Election Day. Jon and I now have a combined 11 election campaign seasons between the two of us, and like all campaigns this one had its unique feel. This year what struck us the most going door-to-door meeting citizens was the positive attitude expressed toward our town being a great place to live. We also received favorable feedback for our decision to switch our previous positions – with Ed running for First Selectman and for Jon running for the Board of Selectmen. We offered our proven and experienced leadership to the voters along with our ongoing effort to keep the Middlefield and Rockfall communities first by maintaining sound finances, minimizing taxes, maintaining the town’s character and the town’s quality of life that citizens have come to expect.

Opinion A confusing time As I write this, my life, and my body, are trying to catch up with the changing of the clocks. In the summer I take my walks after supper, but the other seasons see me hitting the bricks in the late afternoon. And almost invariably, right after we lose an hour, I am hustling along Madison Road, trying to reach home before total darkness descends. It’s getting dusk, and this road is no picnic to walk at high noon, much less at the closing of the day. The darkness catches me unawares. Schedules, obviously, need to be adjusted. I must say, however, that I do appreciate the dawn arriving an hour earlier. I’m not fond of rolling out of bed when it’s still pitch dark. It makes me feel sorry for myself, like it’s still the middle of the night and I have no business doing anything except wrapping up those dreams. So I am glad to
wake up to morning’s light. It puts me in a better mood. Well, my third awakening is usually to morning’s light. My body has not changed its clock yet, so I keep popping my eyes open at a ridiculously early hour. I feel like the night and I are done with each other, and I am not at all tired, but if I get up now I don’t think I will last the day. By 2:00 I will need toothpicks to hold up my eyelids. So I try to force myself to go back to sleep, which is often a futile attempt. I finally gave up the other morning, and got up at 4:40. 4:40! In the a.m.! That is an hour that is only suitable for a potty run. Of course, I was out like
a light at 7:00 that evening, slumped on the couch in front of the TV. I missed all my shows. One thing I love about changing the clocks, though, is that on this day, in my house, they all tell the same time. My clocks are not ordinarily in communication with each other. I will synchronize them all, obsessively sometimes, but soon they are off doing their own thing. So I bring them all back into alignment, and before I know it they have once again gone their separate ways. I never really know the exact time. And See Carr / Page 11
Veterans Day lesson Wednesday, Nov. 11, is Veterans Day, and depending on one’s community, schools will either be in session on this date or not. This is because, while Veterans Day is a federal holiday, there is no legal requirement that schools close. In Connecticut, and elsewhere, individual districts make the call, and this has led to much debate. Some believe it is disrespectful to those who have served in the U.S. armed forces not to close schools on Nov. 11. Others see it the opposite way, and like the fact that a great many youngsters head to school on Veterans Day, and while there, learn about the sacrifices military personnel have made for their country. The latter point of view makes a lot of sense. A day
Record-Journal Editorial of school activities honoring veterans certainly must be an eye-opening experience for students. At many schools, veterans are invited to share their story. These men and women are applauded. Patriotic music is performed. Flag-raising ceremonies are held. Now, if youngsters are given the day off on Nov. 11, how many will actually use that time to think about our veterans, or research America’s military history? The percentage would not be high. Spending Veterans Day in school is a good idea. This month, along with honoring our veterans, we also thank their families, who withstand hardships as
well. In recognition of their fortitude, since 1993, Military Family Month has been celebrated in November. Speaking recently, President Obama said, “America endures because of the men, women, and families who serve and sacrifice to defend our nation and protect the ideals we hold dear. This month, and in the months to come, let us show our enduring gratitude to military families and their loved ones in uniform for contributing to our nation’s legacy as a beacon of hope and liberty. Their courage serves as a model of character and distinction, and their devotion to our country must be met with the recognition it deserves.” Please take a second to thank a veteran and military family member today, or on Nov. 11, or anytime. It’s the least we can do.

the board’s only new member. Curiously, because of the three-way race for First Selectmen, both candidates for selectman received more votes than the new First Selectman. Brayshaw finished with 699 votes and Ruffino with 750. Of Brayshaw’s past service, Bailey said, “His 12 years of experience, 10 as First Selectman and two as a select-
man, are an enormous asset for the board and the town.

Vet Serves Country and Community Korn School to Close By Morgan Cunningham
Mr. William Currlin of Middlefield was drafted into the Army in 1968. In the beginning of the Vietnam War, all American men who were at least 18 years old gave their names to the Selective Service. Many American men were drafted during the time Currlin was. “Some went to Canada to avoid it,” he said. “There was no national will to do it, no mission for people to buy into.” Currlin was recruited to go to Fort Benning, where he became an infantry officer. He explains that he was in Vietnam at 21 years old, leading 45 men in combat. He served there for 12 months with the 101st Airborne Division as a platoon leader, and he “led search and destroy missions throughout the northern part of Vietnam.” The conditions were miserable, and it was clearly very hard for the soldiers to adjust. Most of the days in Vietnam were spent sleeping on the ground in the jungle. “Water was precious, and we carried a lot of weight. Our rucksacks were well over 100 pounds, and most of them were water,” said Currlin. The only way men in the Army were able to keep in touch with family and friends was through letters. “It isn’t like today where the guys can call home; we couldn’t do that back then,” he said. “Everything was mail.” Upon arriving home from Vietnam, the reaction from

the public was very different for Currlin than it is today. The soldiers were not very welcomed at all; in fact, he said those at home were at times quite hostile toward those who served: “I think you’ll find that most Vietnam veterans would say the same thing.” This didn’t bother Currlin at the time, however. He was too happy to be back to let it bother him, referring to returning home as “coming back into the world.” After the Persian Gulf War, those back at home started to treat veterans right. Currlin adds that it seems it took the Vietnam War for society to understand and to treat them properly. “The fact that we do it right now,” he says, “is more important than that we didn’t get welcomed home then.” The biggest lesson that Currlin learned from Vietnam was that wars don’t
solve things. “We all did our part, but I don’t know that I actually felt like we accomplished anything,” he said. Most veterans, he added when asked why they were there, would most likely tell you that they didn’t know. In the Persian Gulf War, there was a clear mission; however, this wasn’t the case with Vietnam. Currlin feels that the lesson to be learned from this is that wars don’t make sense, and they aren’t the way to solve things. Mr. William Currlin has been an active member of the Durham-Middlefield community for years. He has lived in Middlefield his entire married life, and he “has taken every opportunity to get involved in community service initiatives. He was a member of the Regional District 13 Board of Education from 1994-2011 and on the Area Cooperative
Due to a projected decrease in student enrollment over the next five years, the RSD 13 Board of Education voted on Oct. 14 to close Korn School in Durham at the end of the 2015-2016 school year. This decision has been discussed at many Board of Education meetings, during which many citizens from the community posed questions and concerns about closing the school. How will the closing of Korn School affect students not in the district yet or within the lower grades of the district?
RSD 13 Superintendent Dr. Kathryn Veronesi said, “The fewer transitions the kids have, the better.” She talked about how it is much easier for kids to connect more with one another and the staff members if they stay in the same school longer. Overall, Dr. Veronesi thinks this closing will make each school within the district more unified, which will foster stronger relationships among students and staff.

Korn School to Close There are concerns within the district in terms of what will need to be done to close Korn School. Dr. Veronesi explained that certain staff within the district will be organized within one larger team and several smaller teams in order to accomplish all tasks needed to make the closing happen. For example, there will be teams that are in charge of transition, physical movement (packing and moving things out of Korn), communications (keeping the community and parents up to date with information), scheduling, and staffing. Certain teams will organize the transfer of students to both Memorial and Brewster schools who will organize classrooms and make room for the students coming in. Dr. Veronesi said having teams for different tasks will make the process run more smoothly and easily. According to Dr. Veronesi, “there will be a
reduction in force,” but no job cuts will be made until further review of staffing needs. To ensure that the education will be equal for all preschool through fourth grade students, Dr. Veronesi said there will be “common expectations for all staff and students” across the district. Even though there are multiple schools within the district, if you hold a certain expectation for all students and staff, there will be a common result in terms of the education that will be provided by all teachers, she explained. Also, the use of Common Core State Standards within the district should ensure students are learning the same material. The closing of Korn School has raised many questions and concerns within the community, but the decision has been made by the Board of Education, and plans are moving forward.

“Coach Eddie” Shares Corey Capella: A Traveling Soldier His Story By Katelynn Branciforte By Jacquelyn Stevens
Coginchaug girls volleyball coach and veteran Mr. Eddie Castano grew up in Dana Point, California, and served in the Marines for ten years. Growing up, Castano went to military school from second to ninth grade and realized he wanted to spend his early life in the Marines, enlisting as soon as he could. Castano said, “Military School was a great experience.” It made him the independent person he is. In military school, he said you meet a lot of people, especially people you aren’t used to. “Every day we had a specific schedule,” he said. “We woke up at 5:30 a.m. for certain training before classes.” He then went to a public high school and never felt like he belonged. “I didn’t have many friends in school, and when I joined the Marines, I became friends with others I was serving with.” He enlisted in the Marines to learn how to earn everything you have and to be himself. Castano traveled the world, starting in boot camp in South Carolina and after graduating went to the 2nd Battalion Unit 2-6, following into his next mission, Marine Corps Recruit Depot. Here he was assigned to Security Detail for Base Commander General Tryon in Parris Island, South Carolina. Overall, Castano had a positive experience and continued serving. His last place he went to was 3rd Battalion 1st Marines in the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit, assigned as the Platoon Sergeant. After going through all of this, he loved it so much he reenlisted and received an Honorary Discharge in August of 2012. He was awarded the Connecticut Wartime Service Medal, and Castano’s name is displayed on the Hamden Wall of Veterans of War. While stationed, Castano did not have a connection with family and friends. His parents moved to an unknown location, and he couldn’t keep in touch. Coming home after having a strict schedule was a struggle. “Having freedom, eating normal food... was a huge adjustment that I had to make,” Castano said. In the time Castano was enlisted, he learned to “appreciate the things [he had], to be able to understand the difference between having rights and having privileges, and understanding the difference between wanting and needing something.” Castano wants people to understand why we celebrate Veterans Day. “Raising awareness and appreciating the courageous things soldiers and veterans do would be greatly appreciated by so many people,” Castano said.
“You sacrifice your sanity and come back home to feel out of place and not with it. You come back to be outcasts,” said Staff Sergeant Corey Capella who enlisted in the Marines and started boot camp on March 15, 2004. Capella enlisted for three reasons: patriotism, to avoid college, and to travel and see different things. Over the course of nine years (2004 to 2013) Capella traveled all over the world and saw many different things and many different places. After boot camp he was stationed in Okinawa, Japan. He then went to Mississippi, to Twentynine Palms California, on to Iraq, back to California at Camp Pendleton, then to Afghanistan, and finally back to Camp Pendleton, California which is where he stayed until he got out on April 1, 2013. While in California, he was able to keep in touch with family
and friends with the use of his cell phone; however, when he was deployed, contact with the outside world was rare, but when possible he would call but mostly email. While Capella did not keep a journal of his experiences, he did do something for good luck. The second he came home to Ellington, Connecticut he and his family would take a shot of tequila and would do the same right before he left. While this was not an everyday thing, this is what he credits some of his luck to, bonding with his family.
Capella describes his return home to be “kind of like going back in time. Time sits still while you are deployed, and when you come home there are so many advancements.” No matter what, he thinks that “even though war is cruel, it can be necessary,” he also added “but that doesn’t mean that we can’t and shouldn’t avoid it at all costs.” As a veteran, Capella has gained many life lessons. To him the most important was that he “learned that self sacrifice and servitude is the essence to our culture, and when you choose to enlist, you lose all sense of entitlement [in order] to serve other people.” While Capella has learned many things and experienced even more after serving his country for nine years, he says that “there is no stronger bond than brotherhood.”
The Story of a Vietnam Veteran By Zac Schleicher Specialist E4 Benjamin P. Figueroa was 22 years old when he was drafted in 1965. Mr. Figueroa fought in Vietnam and served for two days less than two years. As part of an artillery group that was deployed from San Francisco, California, his troop transport carrier was headed for a staging area. His trip was supposed to be 28 days by an old World War II transport boat, but it ended up being 37 days because the boat had an engine malfunction. After his artillery group assembled, they took their cannons which were mainly comprised of 175mm, 155mm, and 105mm
Howitzers and headed out to Bến Cát. It was there at Bến Cát when he first saw and engaged in combat. Then he headed to Biên Hòa Air Base. He was one of the first groups of Americans to go there. It started off as a small airbase taken by the Americans but became very big. Overall, his group was within 60 miles of Ho Chi Minh City, formerly named Saigon back during the Vietnam War.

Foreign Fighters The British Empire Strikes Back By Brennan Bates James Metcalfe Dobson was a Captain in the British Royal Army and an Intelligence Code Breaker in the Indian Army. He was conscripted into the Army in England during the Second World War, where he had been working as a Customs Officer. He had volunteered for the Royal Air Force, and while he was waiting to enlist he was asked to work as an Intelligence Officer to protect the English Fishing Fleet which was stationed on the west coast of England. As a Captain in the British Army, it was very convenient because he lived on the west coast of England and the Fishing Fleet station was moved to the town of Fleetwood, where he lived nearby. His job was to let everyone know when U-Boats (German Submarines) had been sighted in the Irish Sea. He served in the British and Indian Army throughout WWII. He served in a
combat zone--first in East Norfolk, England, where German aircraft attacked every day, and later in India where he worked as an Intelligence code breaker. He was able to keep in touch with family, but the only way he did was by letter, which took a long time to reach both ways. He traveled extensively in India and Malaysia. In India, he was stationed in Nepal, Darjeeling and said that he always wanted to climb Mt. Everest but ended up in the hospital with pulmonary problems because of the high altitude. Coming home, he had some adjustments, but most of the time he stayed in India after the war ended until 1948, as a
Customs Officer, at the request of his commanding officer. Dobson said he appreciated serving with the Indian people who were great fighters, possessed incredible loyalty, and would give up their lives to protect him.
The Story of a Vietnam Veteran Continued from page 4 Figueroa’s group was very fortunate and was able to buy supplies from the main commissary which they then sold back to other outfits of soldiers; they were able to make a profit and eat well. His artillery group was able to have turkey during Thanksgiving and steak every once and awhile. They didn’t have to eat standard Army food because they were able to buy their own food. “Other troops treated the camp like a nice vacation because they were able to buy a hot meal and take a shower,” Figueroa said; however, as in most areas, the mail was slow. There
was about a month’s delay in replies. Mr. Figueroa’s parents never knew where he was because he couldn’t give an address. All his mail was sent to a post office box in California and then sent from there to his family. Upon returning home, it was the little things that made for the weird adjustments back to civilian life, such as not having to wake up at 5:30 every morning and being able to have a warm meal whenever he pleased. When Mr. Figueroa returned from Vietnam, like many other returning veterans, he said he “received a little
flak from the US people who were angry with the war.” Mr. Figueroa ignored the negative comments because he was drafted. Mr. Figueroa returned home in March of 1966 and was honorably discharged from the military. He said he learned a lot while over in Vietnam. He had to do a lot of growing up--and fast--but what was most important, he said, was “working as a team, and depending on the people around you was key” because in every job, communication with coworkers is essential.

Remembering WWII and Chinese Civil War By Stephanie Tang
Mr. 唐孔武 born in 1919, in Hunan China, served in World War II and the Chinese Civil War. He enlisted in the National Revolutionary Army (the Chinese army) in 1942 because there was “no other choice, especially during World War II.” The Japanese were taking over Chinese land; many civilians were brutally murdered. While fighting in World War II, Mr. 唐孔武 was always in constant combat zones. Because China lacked many technical advancements with weapons, it was difficult for the Chinese to fight the Japanese. He fought in India and various places in China. He remembers when he went to India to fight, he travelled by plane for the first time and says, “I felt like puking the entire time because the planes at the time were not comfortable.” When he was in India, he and his troop mates helped England and the United States keep Japan out of India. (At that time, Japan had already invaded Myanmar and were pushing toward India, an important colony of England at the time). He remembers when he was in a certain battle between two sergeants and was attacked by rapid fire. 唐孔武 managed to hide, but the sergeants next to him were not as lucky. One was killed and the other wounded. After World War II was over, 唐孔武 was pulled into another war: the Chinese Civil War. (Note: The war was the National Revolutionary Army against the Communist Army). The National Revolutionary Army fought until they were defeated. This war, he feels, was no surprise that the army lost because all the troops were already exhausted from fighting in World War II. He quickly fled to Taiwan after the defeat because if he stayed, he would have been executed by the Communists for fighting against them. During his time in war, he was unable to keep in contact with family members because the army was too busy, too tired, and “were lucky to be even alive.” With the war raging throughout China, it was also difficult for letters to go through. Adjusting to Taiwan wasn’t too difficult because Taiwan had many Chinese immigrants escaping China. 唐孔武 was not happy with the defeat because much of the land his family owned was taken away forever. 唐孔武 says that Mao Zedong wasn’t a good leader for China. (唐孔武 went to the same school as Mao, and though Mao graduated much earlier, he says that there were rumors of Mao stealing fellow students’ clothing, wearing them until they smelled, and then returning them.) Mr. 唐孔武 served about 30 years in service with both the National Revolutionary Army and in Taiwan’s military and taught at a military school in Taiwan. The highest position 唐孔武 had in his career was Lieutenant Colonel. *This interview was conducted in Mandarin Chinese and translated.

Boys Soccer Takes Win Cross Country Continues Success; Sam Drop Headed to New Englands 13-0 By Taylor Marino in First Round of States By Jacquelyn Stevens Twenty-nine seed boys soccer team shut out Two Rivers on Tuesday, Nov. 10 in the first round of States. Senior captain Alec Bogen says the boys have strengths including their “offense starting to really click and the strength [they] have in the midfield.” Some strong underclassmen this season included “freshmen Riley Carey and Tim Arcari, holding down the defense and getting
the job done,” said Bogen. He also said sophomore Korben Paul “on the side makes [the] attack stronger.” At the end of the regular season, Bogen with nine goals and senior captain Daniel Gavrilovic with seven goals couldn’t be happier with the way the regular season went. At the time of production, the boys were set to face 13 seed Litchfield on Nov. 12.
Girls Soccer Kicks into State Tournament By Ava Altschuler The girls soccer team has carried the ball all the way to the State tournament, winning against Somers on Monday, Nov. 9, after finishing the regular season with eight wins, six losses, and two ties. Senior captain Larissa Cade says, “The chemistry we have with each other as a team is a strength for us. The comfort we have with one another is carried on and off the field.” The girls have improved through executing their techniques on the field and “positive attitudes during practices to prepare better for the next game,” said senior captain Taylor Marino. The girls have many strong players including freshman Ally Durand and freshman Sarah Smith who both succeeded throughout the season, playing big roles by filling in on the varsity team when needed. Senior players look forward to finishing off the season making a statement in States by using
the constructive criticism given during practice from Coach Kavanaugh to better defend corner kicks and set pieces (a kick on a foul). As well as playing to their potential, seniors savor their last moments of high school soccer. “I really want to enjoy the end of the season with best friends I’ve been playing soccer with since the beginning,” said Marino. With leading players seniors Amy Arcari, Jess Drop, and Larissa Cade, who work well together in the center field at distributing the ball, the girls soccer team plans to push through the State Championships moving onto the second round away against Housatonic, the number one seed, on Wednesday, Nov. 11.
Cross Country State Championship On Oct. 31, both the girls and boys cross country teams competed in the CIAC State Championship meet at Wickham Park in Manchester, Connecticut. Both teams performed very well, with the girls team placing second overall. The girls missed first place to Haddam-Killingworth by three points. Junior Lauren Melchionne
showed her positive attitude toward her team: “We are really an amazing team, but we suffer through the pain together, and I am also really excited to see the team work hard and get the recognition that they deserve.” The boys team finished third overall, with Haddam-Killingworth taking first and Canton taking

second. The boys did not compete in the State Open as a full team, but senior James Peters explained how the boys’ season ended well. “It’s been a really great year,” he said. “Even though we lost our two best runners from last year, we continued to improve this year and placed higher than expected.”

“Sweeping HK and going to five sets twice with East Hampton” have been highlights of the volleyball season, according to senior captain Caitlyn Sibiskie. They played 20 games in the regular season with a record of 9-11. Although not what they wanted, senior captain Alana Beckert said, “We work well together, and we are a very close team, so there isn’t a lot of drama.” Beckert and Sibiskie are proud to announce that they have three players who are All-Shoreline: Sibiskie for first team, junior Megi Zaclli for second team, and Beckert for honorable mention. As a team, the girls looked forward to competing in States on Monday, Nov. 9. Sibiskie said her team goal was to “again get to semifinals...” However, they lost their to Hale Ray in three close sets. Junior Sydney Brant said, “We had a fun season, thanks to our seniors. We are going to miss them so much, and the team won’t be the same without them.”

The Devils took their week three win with pride and used it to fuel their game spirit in game four against Windsor Locks/ Suffield/East Granby.

By Zac Schleicher The Blue Devils football team had a very different start to their year with a new coaching staff, headed by Coach Nick D’Angelo. The Devils started their season against the Cromwell Panthers and they played with passion. By halftime, they were in the lead; however, within the last three minutes of the game, the Panthers were able to complete a touchdown pass, ending the game 14-20. Game two was against Ellington; this one was a 13-26 loss. Coginchaug went into the game with a good fighting spirit, but they weren’t able to capitalize. The beginning of the season wasn’t looking so great. Luckily, things turned around in game three against Coventry/Windham with a win. The Devils were tired of this losing

Morgan. It was a very tough game for the Devils. The entire game, the Devils’ mindset didn’t seem to be in the right place. Morgan made a lot of plays that the Devils should have picked up on and stopped. This was the lowest point of the season so far with a Loss of 0-34. Game six against Canton was an easy win. The Devils dominated all game, only allowing canon a single touchdown in the

fourth quarter. The Devils dominated in quarters one, two, and three ending the game with the final score was 48-6. It was a close contest at Valley, game seven was a loss though unfortunately. Both teams were fighting the entire game to come out the overall victor. The Devils had the lead up until the third quarter. Sadly it wasn’t the Devils. The final score was 20-31. Game eight against Stafford/Somers/East Windsor was a 6-21 loss, a tough
game with the Devils only scoring one touchdown. It sees as though the Devils weren’t in the right mindset going into the game. Hopefully that will all change next week! As it currently stands, the Devils are 3-5 and are ranked 134th in the state. Their next game is a non-conference matchup at home against Granby Memorial on Nov. 14. The Devils will host Veteran Appreciation Day with a pregame tailgate and Senior Day ceremony.

Unified Sports Brings Students Together
Coginchaug Unified Sports took the field for their first competition of the year, a soccer game against Middletown Unified Sports. The team fought hard and had fun. Coginchaug Unified Sports teacher Mr. Robb Bajoros said the team’s first matchup was “an incredible success.” He was also impressed by the sportsmanship and community involvement, as representatives from many other Coginchaug sports teams warmed up with the Unified Sports athletes and cheered them on throughout the game. The team looks forward to a bowling match in the winter among other activities.
Perseverance through Losses By Katelynn Branciforte Leading rusher in the state with 1698 yards, senior Parker Tregoning has made himself a newsworthy player. Tregoning is ranked fourth in the state for total points with 132 and has been nominated on five different occasions for player of the week, recently winning CPTV Player of the Week. Acknowledging it feels great to win and even better to be nominated so many times, Tregoning said, “Thank you to everyone that voted because that is how I won.” Tregoning works very hard in the off season, especially focusing on weight lifting, and finds that he is his own inspiration; however, his biggest supporters are his parents and his coach. His coach is the first to contact him if he has broken any records,

and Tregoning says his parents love to hear how he is doing on the field and in the classroom. While he has been in the spotlight for the past few weeks, Tregoning hasn’t forgotten the team aspect of the game. Tregoning says, “Coginchaug is known to be a good team and to have a great coaching staff, but the team puts the team before anything else.” Without a team, individual goals could not be achieved, and records would not be broken. Tregoning hopes to end the season with a total of 2,000 yards and is only 302 yards away from that goal. The Devils will play in their last home game on Saturday, Nov. 14 before which they will honor veterans, have a tailgate, and celebrate their Senior Day.

In the beginning of the race, the two were almost neck and neck, though after the 20-mile mark, Mrs. Vigue got a blister and slowed down but managed to stay within seven minutes of McShane to the end of the race. McShane completed the race in three hours and 23 minutes and Vigue in three hours and 30 minutes.

Every year since 1976, the third Thursday in November marks the American Cancer Society’s Great American Smokeout, a day when smokers are encouraged to quit for the day and make a plan to quit for good. Thanks to increased awareness, research, and other efforts, smoking rates have dropped dramatically in the past several decades, from about 42 percent of adults in 1965 to about 18 percent in 2012, the latest year for which numbers are available. Still, about 42 million adults currently smoke cigarettes, and tobacco remains a major killer, responsible for nearly one in five deaths in the United States, and at least 30 percent of all cancer deaths. Smokers have more tools than ever to help quit smoking, but it remains one of the strongest addictions known. Smokers often have to make several quit attempts, using any of several tools, some proven, some not, before they find the method that works for them. Among those tools smokers can consider: • Nicotine replacement therapy • Telephone and online based support and counseling
