Drive-through fast food denied in Durham By Mark Dionne Town Times staff
The Planning and Zoning Commission recently denied a request to allow drive-through windows at fast food businesses after a crowded public hearing on the subject. The request to alter the town’s regulations prohibiting drive-through windows came from Michael Batista, franchisee of the two Dunkin’ Donuts on Durham’s Main Street, as well as other nearby Dunkin’ Donuts businesses. His operations are based in Meriden.
The changes would have allowed new or existing fast food establishments to open drive-through windows if they meet certain criteria, such as a minimum of 1.5 acres and minimum street frontage of 170 feet. Three businesses are “guaranteed” to make the criteria, said Town Planner Geoff Colegrove, According to Meriden attorney Dennis Ceneviva, who handled most of the presentation of Batista’s petition during the Wednesday, June 1 public hearing, the proposed changes were designed to minimize the
impact of drive-through windows on the town. Under the proposed regulations, windows would have to be 150 feet from the road and speakers 50 feet from any residence. Sites would also be required to have the ability to “stack” 15 cars in the line from entrance to exit. The hearing attracted about 40 members of the public. More than a dozen members of the public spoke in opposition to drive through fast food, most objecting to traffic Two Dunkin’ Donuts businesses operate on Durham’s Main and trash issues.

Middlefield in midst of 150th anniversary party By Mark Dionne Town Times staff
MIDDLEFIELD — Five-year-old Candice Wiggett bit into a bright red, succulent strawberry and juice slowly ran down the corners of her mouth. Candice’s hands were stained a light pink color from the strawberries she picked with her family at Lyman Orchards last week.
Formerly part of Middletown, Middlefield broke off on its own in 1866.
Before the start of the parade, Sesquicentennial
Strawberries are ripe for the pickin’ By Farrah Duffany Record-Journal staff
The town of Midddlefield is in the midst of a celebration of its 150th anniversary, marking the occasion on Saturday, June 4 with a parade and a carnival.
More than two years ago, Selectman Jon Brayshaw, who was First Selectman at the time, noticed the upcoming milestone anniversary and put the planning in motion with the formation of a Sesquicentennial Committee.
and after a June 1 vote by Planning and Zoning will remain, prohibited. | Mark Dionne, Town Times
Dozens of people were scattered throughout the strawberry fields Wednesday afternoon, June 1 to take advantage of the first day of the picking season. Beautiful weather drew a large crowd. Ida McLaughlin, of the Middlefield neighborhood of Rockfall, sits in the shade of her umbrella as she waits for the parade. McLaughlin has lived in Middlefield since 1955. | Mark Dionne, Town Times
Committee Co-Chair Chris Hurlbert said, “Two years ago we thought it would never get here, and in a
flash, here it is.”
“It’s a nice day for strawberry picking,” said Rose Williams, of Meriden. “It’s one of the best places to come. I like to eat them and make short cakes.” Williams was accompanied by her young daughter Levi and friend April King, of Wallingford. Levi sat comfortably in a stroller as King fed her a few strawberries. “I come every year,” said King. “I was like, today will

After closing the public hearing, the PZC had 65 days to act on the requested changes. PZC member Lisa Davenport suggested a review by the town’s attorney. Member Alana Adams suggested the commission take more time to consider the application.
“We’ve enjoyed and love being in town ... We’re not interested in changing Durham,” he said. The regulations would be a significant burden on any applicant, according to Ceneviva, who also pointed out that the PZC would retain broad leeway to refuse applicants. The rejection is the second time the Planning & Zoning Commission has declined fast food drive-through windows. The regulations currently only prohibit drive-through windows at restaurants. Other businesses, such as banks, are allowed to operate drive-through windows.

The rejection marks the third time recently that potential changes in central Durham have met with opposition or rejection. In March 2015, the Board of Selectmen abandoned a project for a solar farm on the corner of Haddam Quarter Road and Brick Lane after neighborhood objections and the town’s master plan is currently being revised under pressure to prevent expanded mixed-use of business and residential properties on Main Street.

COMPLETE AUTO & TRUCK REPAIRS
The town traditionally holds a semi-annual Old Home Days Parade, originally scheduled to go in June, 2015. Town officials decided to push the Old Home Days Parade back a year as a Sesquicentennial Parade and the Lions Club set up a three-day carnival at Peckham Park, the parade’s end point. The carnival featured rides, food, a beer tent, and entertainment. Many of the food booths were run by civic groups raising money for their activities. The parade featured many of the usual elements from Old Home Days, like school bands and fire engines, but also had many touches special to the year and the birthday.
Taryn Ruffino said, “Everything just fell right into place. It couldn’t have been better.” While the Sesquicentennial Parade and Lions Club Carnival were centerpieces of the celebration, Middlefield held other sesquicentennial events in 2016 and has more on tap. The beach at Lake Beseck hosted a cardboard boat race on Sunday, June 5, and multiple bands will play at Peckham Park on Saturday, June 11 ending with fireworks at 9:15 p.m. Other events include a History Night, Jazz Night, and a Food Truck Night. In the earlier months of 2016, the town held a Winterfest at Lake Beseck, a gala, and a tea at the Lyman Homestead, but most of the celebration focused around the first two weekends of June. A full calendar of events is available on Middlefield’s website.
The Governor’s Color Guard and the Manchester Regional Police and Fire Pipe Band marched.
Middlefield First Selectman Ed Bailey said the idea started with a parade and built out from there.
The Shriners participated on their mini-cars for the first time in Middlefield.
“We thought we’d have a week of non-stop stuff going on and we wound up with nine days,” Bailey said.
Some parade participants were more notably unique to Middlefield, like the Middlefield Ukulele Club, the Tadeusz Kosciuszko Society, and the costumed librarians from the Levi E. Coe Library, dressed this year as Alice in Wonderland characters.
The celebrations were the result of numerous volunteers, local businesses, and civic groups.
“It’s a confirmation of what a town like Middlefield is,” Bailey said of the volunteerism. “If [Middlefield’s] forefathers showed up toPrices listed are for 4 tires - Buying less than 4, Two other local institutions day they would be pleased tire Call forgoing sizesonnot listed see- what’s with with milestones inadd 2016$10 hadperto our volunteers.” floats in the parade.

MARKING MIDDLEFIELD’S 150TH BIRTHDAY WITH A PARADE
Kids from Miss Joanne’s Learning Center traveled the parade with a giant Crayola Crayon cake to recognize Middlefield’s 150th birthday.
Many of the marchers and floats, such as Middlefield’s Ukulele Club, played music to the spectators.
State Representative Buddy Atlobello, Sesquicentennial Committee Co-Chair and Selectman Taryn Ruffino, First Selectman Ed Bailey, State Senator Dante Bartolomeo, and Selectman Jon Brayshaw get a break near the end of the Sesquicentennial Parade in Middlefield on June 4.
With high temperatures for the entire parade, Memorial Middle School band parent John Stagon sprays cold water for the band students during a pause.
Librarians and volunteers from the Levi Coe Library marched as characters from Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland, Alice, the Queen of Hearts, TweedleDee and Tweedle-Dum, and the Mad Hatter. Cousins Nicholas Smith, Ryan Godburn, and Logan Smith wait near the Levi Coe Library for the start of the parade.
The Sesquicentennial was a big event for the Middlefield Historical Society.

The Friends You’ll Have in High School By Zac Schleicher
Movies often convey cliches such as, “All high schoolers try drugs, ” or “High schoolers all do things they shouldn’t be doing” and “People in high school change over those four years.” Throughout my four years in high school, I’ve moved from friend group to friend group because people do change and sometimes those changes aren’t what you value, so you have to make the decision of whether you want to be a part of that crowd or not. You want to believe that it isn’t true, and that your friends in eighth grade will remain your best friends until graduation senior year. It’s possible that you’ll prove me wrong and that you and your friends will remain best friends, but let me tell you the story of how my life got flipped, turned upside down, and I’d like to take a couple minutes so just sit right there; I’ll tell you how I became the better me in a town called Durham. Let’s start at the beginning of freshman year. I was still buddy buddies with all my eighth grade friends. Since our school’s so small, people basically considered anyone they

had a somewhat decent relationship with their ‘friend,’ regardless of whether or not they talked on a regular basis. But entering high school with a bunch of other grades, you rarely see much of your graduating class anymore, just the people in your actual classes. Some of the stronger friendships remained through that transition, and you’d see them at lunch, but for the most part, you made new friends with people in classes that you had. Your group of friends has shrunk in size but is still quite large. I made some friends, and I lost some due to never having classes together. Sophomore year is when things really changed. The cliches were right; people do change. Some of my friends started partaking in illegal activities, and I didn’t want to associate myself with that. I didn’t feel comfortable with them much anymore, and I think they noticed that too because I was excluded from conversations and was no longer being invited to all the parties. They knew I didn’t want to be a part of their new hobbies. At least they respected my
decision and didn’t try to pressure me into anything. I knew that this wasn’t the crowd I wanted to be with, so I left. I was very alone for about a month or two, but I went back to an old group of friends I hung out with way back in fifth grade. I wasn’t really accepted right off the bat, but after a while, I blended back into that group and went about life. Junior year was easier now that I associated myself with people I could be around. I maintained those friendships, and I made even more over that year, and it was good. The summer was fine too; I kept in contact with all my friends. We would all get together and go to the movies or have bon fires together. I was happy with where I was and who I was with. Nothing was wrong. I thought that I had beat the cliche and proven it wrong; granted, I did lose some friends in my high school career so far, but I thought that that was all over now.

12 Things to do Before the End of 12th Grade By Stephanie Tang
Senior year is near its end. Soon, we will be walking across a stage, and it seems a little strange to say goodbye to everyone we grew up with. Before saying goodbye to CRHS forever, here are a few things to do before graduating: 1. Make your resume: This is a no-brainer. If you already have your resume, update it. This can save a lot of time in the future. 2. Talk to that friend you drifted away from. Chances are, he or she probably wants to hang out with you again too. 3. Buy a yearbook: After a few years, it’s interesting to see how much people changed. Plus, it holds a lot of memories. 4. Make amends: We all probably said something to someone we shouldn’t have. Don’t end the year with bad blood. 5. Say goodbye to your favorite teachers: They are the ones who made your high school experience exceptional. You might never see them again, and you would want to thank them for guiding you through high school 6. Attend sport games: Most tickets are for free, and it’s good to let the players know you have their back. 7. Go to prom: This might be super cliche or sound super lame, but it’s your last school dance. 8. Wear school apparel: It’s likely that you’ll never wear them again after high school. 9. Take lots of pictures: 12th Grade is the bittersweet year of high school. Save every moment from normal days to field trips. 10. Apply for a summer job: Most of us already have jobs, but if you don’t, it’ll be helpful to have extra cash. You have to whole summer to yourself. You no longer have to study for the SAT and summer reading projects are finally irrelevant, so it means lots of extra time. Getting a job will teach you responsibility while earning money. 11. Clean up your Facebook: We all posted embarrassing things in middle school or in general, stupid stuff. You do not want your future boss seeing them. 12. Most importantly, have fun. These are the last moments of high school, and you want to enjoy the last few weeks as much as you can.

CIAC Scholar Athlete Banquet
Volume 22, Issue 6
Cupcake Wars at Coginchaug By Spencer McCoy
Coginchaug CIAC Scholar Athletes Shaun Whitaker and Kyle Adams attended the Annual Connecticut High School Scholar-Athlete Awards Program and Banquet with coaches Megan Kavanaugh and Matthew Thompson Sunday, May 1 at the Aqua Turf Club. According to the CRHS Athletic Department, both were honored as students “whose personal standards and achievements are a model to others and who possess high levels of integrity, self-discipline and courage”.
The aroma of freshly baked cupcakes filled the school hallways as students from Ms. Cohen’s class put their skills to the test in a fun competition. Similar to the popular TV show Cupcake Wars on Food Network, each group of students from the Pastries and Cakes class made their own cupcake recipe and got judged by the teachers, each one on its decoration and taste. The winning cupcake for
decoration and theme was “Little Ladybugs Garden”, made by Brody Courchesne, Jessica Drop, Destiny Helmedach and Yanai Velazquez. It featured a chocolate cake filled with white chocolate ganache and buttercream frosting. The other winner for best flavor was “Volcanos” a chocolate Nutella cake with Nutella frosting made by Zach Devers, Lex Sorrell, Joey Longobardi and Izzie Mastrangelo.
dog, and she’s the best dog I’ve ever had. She’s well trained, smart, energetic and overall a great best friend. I highly recommend giving adoption a
chance. If you’re looking to adopt a shelter dog, I recommend looking at Petfinder. They’ll help you find a dog that fits really well into your home.
CRHS Adopts By Miranda Cronin “Adopt don’t shop.” Everyone knows the Humane Society slogan that’s made rescuing pets from a shelter less of a noble cause and more of a mainstream idea, but why is adopting a shelter dog better than taking home a pet store pet? 1. Second chance When you take home a dog from a shelter, you’re most likely saving a life because the majority of shelter dogs are on death row if they can’t find a home soon enough, even if they’re well behaved and deserving of a family. Even in no-kill shelters, some dogs (mostly older ones) can spend their whole lives behind bars.
2. Puppy mills Puppy mills are places that breed dogs for commercial purposes, usually in large amounts, and in inhumane conditions. That means small cages, not enough food and water, and poor or no veterinary care. Puppies at puppy mills are usually separated from their mothers before they should be and shipped off to your local pet store. There’s no legal definition for a puppy mill so even with “verification” from pet store owners, there’s still a very good chance that’s where their dogs are coming from. 3. Pre-trained and well behaved A lot of older shelter dogs
(and even some of the younger ones) were placed there after already being trained. Some people only get rid of their dogs because they can’t provide for them anymore because of a variety of reasons such as having a baby, moving to a no pets allowed apartment, or being unable to pay for food or vet bills. 4. Low cost While dogs at pet stores can cost over $1,000, shelter dogs rarely cost over $50, even less for dogs who are already neutered. Plus, most shelters make sure dogs are up to date on their shots and get checked up on by vets. My dog Ivy was a shelter

Continued from page 1 The Friends You’ll Have in HS However, at the beginning of senior year, I learned that one particular friend group made some serious changes over the summer. They too began to do some illegal activities that I didn’t want to be a part of, but they were different about it compared to the other group I encountered sophomore year who kept it under wraps. These friends let it consume their lives. It was all they ever talked about. It was all they wanted to do after school. It became so annoying to deal with. They too knew I didn’t want to participate in what they were doing, and again, I started being invited to less because I didn’t want to do what they were doing. At first I didn’t understand why my friends kept falling into these bad habits. At times, I remember feeling and thinking to myself, ‘Maybe I should just conform to this trend.’ But I stopped
myself from slipping down that path. I eventually got over it and moved on. I’m still friends with them; we don’t hang out as much as we used to, but I’m fine with it because I have other friends like myself who don’t participate in illegal activities. I’m here to tell you that while you’re at high school, people can and will change; your group of friends will start off large but gradually get smaller over the years. Sometimes it will be because you don’t share classes with friends, so the relationship becomes more distant. Other times it might be for reasons like mine where my friends started doing drugs, and you may not want to be a part of that. By the time you reach the end of your high school career, you will have a close knit group of friends. High school is all about change, and change isn’t something people
should be afraid of. I’ll admit that during the process of all these changes, I was afraid. Afraid I was losing my friends and that I had nobody to hang out with. People will come in and out of your life because of differences, but the people who remain in your life throughout and after high school are your true friends. I’ve realized that these changes in people are inevitable and that change is sometimes good or for the better. I’ve accepted these changes, and I’m proud that I’ve remained a man on my own path. The movies are right; people do change in high school. But don’t let it change you; I didn’t let it change who I am.

Are Skittles Evenly Distributed?
AP Statistics project submitted by Krista DeFilio and Melissa Parsons One of America’s most popular candies is Skittles. Millions of bags are sold each day across the country, but a question arises: Are the different flavors of original Skittles evenly distributed in the packages? The immediate response to this question is no, of course not. We have all experienced times in which we have opened a bag of Skittles, and there seems to be an overwhelming majority of one color. Does the Wrigley Company take the time to produce and package an even amount of each color, or do they acknowledge that some colors/flavors are less popular and thus do not produce as many of that particular flavor (we’re looking at you, grape)? After selecting ten different
regular-sized packages of Skittles at ten different locations in Durham and other neighboring towns, we sorted all of the candies into different groups according to color to try to answer our question. Although some bags did have very disproportionate amounts of the different colors, overall, there seemed to be a pretty even distribution. At face value, it seemed as if our original assumption that Skittles are not packaged evenly was already proved wrong simply by
our observations, but we still had to run some statistical tests. After running these tests, we concluded that on average, the Wrigley Company produces and distributes and even amount of each color of original flavor Skittles into each package.

CRHS Girls’ GPA vs. National Average AP Statistics project submitted by Caitlyn Kranich and Olivia Haglund Often times New England schools hold a reputation for holding some of the highest academic standards and producing some of the smartest students in the nation. Coginchaug seniors Caitlyn Kranich and Olivia Haglund decided to put this stigma to the test by surveying their fellow senior girls on their GPAs (Grade Point Averages). Caitlyn and Olivia wanted to find out if the senior girls at Coginchaug Regional High School ( a small New England high school) supported or discredited whether New England students are smarter. To do so, the girls first surveyed all the senior girls from the A4 class block at Coginchaug. The survey simply asked for their GPA rounded to
the first decimal. Then, Caitlyn and Olivia took all the GPAs and used them to calculate an interval that would contain the average of the GPAs for all senior girls in the school (since they could only take a small sample). Using statistical techniques (PANIC and T Interval Test) and the GPAs they collected, the girls determined that the average GPA for senior girls at Coginchaug had to be somewhere between 3.15 and 3.52. This window of possible GPA averages was way too high to even include the national average GPA for senior girls, which was 3.10. This meant that, on average, the senior girls at Coginchaug had higher GPAs than the national average for all high school senior girls.
Sex, Favorite Subject, (& Rock-n-Roll) AP Statistics project submitted by Matthew Sawicki
Do boys and girls have different preferences about their favorite academic subject? So often we assume that boys like math and science and girls enjoy the humanities; however, are we justified in doing so? Colleges and universities offer scholarships for girls to join STEM programs, due to their absence in such fields; meanwhile, females often outnumber males in the nation’s top liberal arts colleges. Humor in television even plays off of these stereotypes: in the hit show 30 Rock, Jack McBrayer makes the joke that his mouth shuts up “faster than a girl in math class”, while Marge on The Simpsons constantly remarks about her inability to do math.
However, this study was created to find whether or not an association between sex and favorite subject exists. 28 male and 28 female high school students (spread out evenly across each grade level) were randomly chosen and surveyed about what academic subject they like best. Their answers, after being organized into 5 categories (math, science, history, English, and ‘other’), were recorded and statistically analyzed. The ultimate sult: there was not enough convincing evidence that an association between sex and favorite academic subject exists. What does this potentially mean? Well, for one, it’s time to start rethinking those sexist jokes, modern media!

SENIOR COLUMN: CRHS Tackles Change By Miranda Cronin “One in six women will be raped in their lifetime.” “One in four women will be sexually assaulted at college.” “One in 33 men will be a victim of attempted or completed rape.” “17.7 million American women.” “2.78 million American men.” We’ve heard the statistics; we know it’s happening. Carry pepper spray, don’t sit in your car alone, be careful in parking lots, but what do you do when your assailant is someone you know? What precautions do you take when, according to the Rape, Abuse and Incest National Network, 47 percent of rapists are people you trust? It’s not just a far away issue; I’ve heard about sexual harassment happening in our own school and wondered how, if possible, I could help tackle the harassment that’s happening here. These were just some of the questions bothering me when I decided to take action with the help of journalism teacher Ms. Rebecca Suchy, Pupil Personnel Director Mrs. Amy Emory and CRHS Principal Mr. Brian Falcone. First, I held two focus groups, one with underclassmen and one with upperclassmen. I handed out the same surveys to both groups with these questions: In your opinion what is sexual harassment? Have you seen sexual harassment in Coginchaug? If so what did you witness? Have you been educated about sexual harassment while attending Coginchaug? If so what did you learn and when? Is there anything you learned about in health, advisory, or during an assembly that you remember well/was eye opening for you? Do you think you would be able to identify sexual harassment if you witnessed
it? Why or why not? What do you think is the best way to approach serious issues such as sexual harassment in the high school setting? The answers to the survey validated what I already knew: the sexual harassment education in Coginchaug was lackluster and needed to be revamped. Out of the 15 students I surveyed, eleven said that they had witnessed sexual harassment in school, and one other person said they’ve never witnessed it but had heard about it happening in school. One person said, “Sexual harassment seems to lowkey happen pretty often here; I see people making graphic gestures, saying things to each other...some physical stuff but not as often.” Many talked about how most of the sexual harassment was non-physical such as cat-calling, making crude comments and talking about other students’ body parts. Both groups talked about the three different types of harassment (physical, verbal and indirectly through social media) but alleged to never getting any of this information from the school. I then took into account what actions other students mentioned to raise awareness of sexual harassment. The recommendations included informing kids early on, having assemblies and making the issues more widespread. The answers to this survey were so disturbing that Mrs. Emory helped set up a meeting with all the guidance counselors from kindergarten to the high school to allow me to present the results I found and to brainstorm a way to enact change. I had four main ideas: Change the health curriculum so that sexual harassment is involved all four
years at the high school level. Have an advisory meeting that covers a solid definition of what sexual harassment is and how it will be handled. Make sure that both faculty and students take sexual harassment seriously. Bring in a public speaker to talk to students about what sexual harassment is. The meeting resulted in many ideas to make sexual harassment less of a problem in our district. Mr. Falcone went back and reviewed the health 9-12 curriculum and noticed that there was a lack of education on sexual harassment and is now working to introduce the topic in an earlier grade and have it continue throughout all high school health classes. Guidance also had a senior advisory that was based off the Safe Dates program that gave situations in relationships where you have to choose the appropriate answers. Guidance also brought in a guest speaker to talk to all PE 12 students about what sexual assault is and how to stop it. Mr. Falcone was so inspired by the outreach on this topic that he hopes to create a group next year to focus on school problems such as diversity, mental health awareness and other problems that happen on school grounds. The reason I sought to find out more about this subject is to help make this school a better and safer place for students and because of the positive reactions from administration, I have hope that within the next couple years, not only will Coginchaug students have more education on sexual assault and sexual harassment but there will also be fewer people witnessing it within these school halls.
“The meeting resulted in many ideas to make sexual harassment less of a problem in our district.” OPINION: Is College all It’s Cracked Up to Be? By Carson Aitken About 42 million Americans collectively owe $1.3 trillion on their student loans, while 7 out of 10 college graduates now borrows money to pay for a higher education. In 2015 the typical college student graduated with debt equivalent to 74 percent of their annual earnings. When graduating from high school, us young adults are presented with one of the biggest decisions of our lives: choosing what we think we want to do with our lives. The most popular route today that people take after high school is college. Now to most, college makes sense, but it didn’t seem to make too much sense for me. It didn’t make sense to push someone into committing to going to college and spending tons of money when most high schoolers can’t even commit on an outfit to wear to school. So I found a few seniors that weren’t going to school once they graduated and found out why they weren’t and what they thought of college. Senior Tommy Joyce plans to join the Army and wants to become a Combat Engineer instead of attending school. “I don’t think it’s fair to trap kids and force them to learn things they don’t want to,” he said. “We should be able to choose to study what we’re interested in. I know
that sounds a lot like college, but why would I pay thousands of dollars for something I think I like to learn about.” As I continued to interview different seniors I found that they all had the same thought on why spend the money on a higher education if I absolutely don’t have to? I mean that makes sense right? Why put your future on hold if you don’t have to? Why try and start your life in debt? Day by day, I grow happier knowing I’ll never have to go back to traditional school, knowing I won’t have to take another quiz, knowing I’ll have a job after my apprenticeship and not be stressed with finding a job out of college to pay off my loans. “I think it will make my life easier not going to college,” said senior Justin Murphy when asked how he thought not going to college would affect his life. “I won’t be in debt, so I can start my future immediately.” Murphy is apprenticing to be a diesel mechanic and doesn’t have the need to attend college, along with me and the rest of the seniors I interviewed. With kids realizing that college isn’t necessary for success, why is it still being pushed on students like it’s the only way you’ll get anywhere in this world?

Girls Tennis: Undefeated Season for Woznyk, Coughlin
Volume 22, Issue 6
Devils Hit the Court By Stephanie Tang
Despite the boys tennis 4-16 record, senior captains Kyle Judson and Sam Temple won Shorelines on May 25 and advanced to the doubles division of the CIAC Boys Tennis Tournament on May 31 but lost in the quarter final by the score of 2-6 and 3-6. Judson said, “We felt like as a team we made a lot of progress through the course of the season.”
By Ava Altschuler
At the end of their 2016 season, the girls tennis team stands with a record of twelve wins and eight losses. “People stepped up to varsity this year, including freshmen Melissa Fowler and Shannon Carey. We wouldn’t have been able to get so far without everyone contributing,” senior captain Nicole Woznyk said. Doubles one (Nicole Woznyk and Jessica Coughlin), doubles two (Paige Larkin and Christina Rizzo) and doubles three (Alyssa Van Eyndhoven and Laura Hinsch) qualified for Shorelines as well as singles one (Emily Leibiger), singles three (Sam Pietrzyk) and singles four (Shannon Carey). Doubles one and two both qualified for semifinals, and doubles one earned gold against Old Lyme with a final score of 6-5, 7-5. As for state matches, the team qualified against Woodland with a score of 5-2. Team States came to a close after playing their first round Monday, May 30 against Litchfield with a score of 1-6, as Woznyk concluded, “Making it to team States was a success because we were able to rebuild the team this year and pull it together.” The season will continue for doubles one, who remains undefeated with a record of 18-0, and doubles two, who only lost to one other team in their regular season, Valley, as they will both go on to play at individual states on Saturday, June 4.

Big Blue on the Green: Team Places 10th at States By Miranda Cronin
For the first time in years, the CRHS golf team qualified for States, coming in tenth place on Tuesday, June 7. They had a strong season this year with 10 wins to 4 losses, the team went to states on Thursday, May 26. The team nearly doubled their last season when they had 6 wins to 8 losses (and 1 tie.) “I think we did pretty well [this season]; we placed fourth in Shorelines which was better than last year,” said senior and golf captain Saige Avery. “The team has had more wins this year versus last year when we had more losses.” Saige is going to Mercyhurst to continue playing golf in college.

The sounds of summer are awesome, aren’t they? Winter is so quiet, and that has a charm all its own, but summer is noisy, and in such a good way. The birds singing outside my window at the crack of dawn are such a nice way to greet the day – much
that I think I will spare you yet another rendition of that particular pleasure.

And the picnics, with good food and even better people. My stepfather’s sister and brother-in-law had a big gravel pit, and every year the family gathered there for what was possibly the best day of the summer. There was a big pond, where I could continue to work on perfecting those handstands, and a mountain of sand that afforded us kids breathtaking rides down its slope, perched on big pieces of cardboard. I still love picnics (who doesn’t?), and should you have one in a gravel pit, I will be sure to bring the cardboard.

Remember the head-to-toe excitement we felt every June, when we were just pups, counting the days and sometimes the hours, until school let go of us? All that freedom stretching out before us. The only other thing that even came close to that ‘round-the-clock euphoria was Christmas. And then that last bell of that last day rang loud and clear, and we were set free. Going to the beach every day. Afternoons spent gliding through the water like a seal. Perfecting that underwater handstand. Water fights with my friends. Marco Polo, of course. Listening for the jangle of bells that announced the arrival of the ice cream truck. I’m not doing underwater handstands anymore, or playing Marco Polo, but the beach is still, for me, the most magical place on earth. I’ve not a care in the world when I am surrounded by sand and surf and sun.
I love that the sun gets such an early start, and doesn’t put itself to bed until a reasonably late hour. When it’s not around so much during other times of the year, I always feel so rushed to get things done before the night comes marching in. But now I feel like I’ve got all the time
in the world. I know there’s still just 24 hours in a day, but it feels more like 28 or 29.

ON THE TEE WITH TIM
Big gains in your score lay in the short game By Tim Buczak Record-Journal staff
The easiest part of the game at which to be consistent is around the greens. This part of the game takes no strength or power, and age does not effect it. Therefore, anyone can master it.
Practicing around the greens helps you develop a better and more reliable touch, which in turn leads to trust. The key to consistency is trust that what you are doing is correct and that you believe that it is correct. The chip shot is used when the player does not elect to putt the ball, but instead wants to get the ball rolling on
the green as soon as possible. This shot will be used in the fringe or from a good lie in the rough when the golfer has some green to work with. The chip is a low trajectory shot used with a pitching wedge all the way through to a 5 iron, which gets the ball on the green quickly and rolls out from there. In the set-up, the golfer’s feet
are about four inches apart and slightly open, with the ball slightly back of center of the stance, and with the hands pressed three inches in front of the golf ball. The weight will be about 70 percent on the front foot with the weight staying there throughout the swing. The upper body needs to be tilted toward the target so that

the shoulders are practically level with each other, making the player hit down on the golf ball and producing a low trajectory. Chipping is a rocking motion where the hands and wrists are inactive and the swing should be the same — back and through — with the same tempo. The best chippers finish low to the ground with a natural movement toward the target in the follow-through. Use a pitch shot only when it is needed to get more trajectory around the greens and to get the ball to land softer and not roll out as much. The pitch will be used from the fairway and rough, and the correct set-up will make this shot a lot easier. The club(s) that can be chosen for this play are the lob wedge, sand wedge or pitching wedge. In the short game, if you set up properly, everything else will usually take care of itself. To acquire an accurate set-up for a pitch, the feet are slightly farther apart, with the golf ball in the middle of the stance and the butt of the club pointed at the golfer’s naval. I suggest putting 60 percent of your weight on the front foot, which stays there throughout the shot. The clubface can be square from a good lie, but if the lie is not that great, I suggest opening the face by weakening the top hand grip (top thumb at 12 o’clock) for a softer touch. In the actual swing, the wrists will be hinged softly on the backswing, but will not hinge at all around impact or coming through the ball. The pitch is more a V-shaped swing instead of your typical U-shaped swing used for the full swing. The V-shaped is a steeper back and down swing that promotes crisp contact with a solid set-up. Until next time — If you are interested in a lesson from Tim Buczak, call 860-398-6480. All lessons take place at Lyman Orchards.

Easy, yummy and adorable bites
While I was in the fields picking strawberries, which I have never done before, I sampled a few and was amazed at how sweet and tart a lot of them were.
With the fresh produce, I decided to make strawberry cheesecake bites.

Lyman also tried his first strawberry of the season. It made a “pop” as he plucked it from the vine and then took a bite.
Strawberry picking season is incredibly popular at Lyman Orchards and on weekends close to 2,000 people come out to fill cartons full of the fruit, said John Lyman, an owner of Lyman Orchards. The strawberry picking season lasts only about a month. “It’s a start for us for pickyour-own,” said Lyman. “Then we’ll have raspberries before the end of the month and blueberries around the Fourth of July.” Twelve varieties of strawberries are grown on nearly seven acres.
