Safe driving video contest for teenagers The Department of Motor Vehicles, with Travelers, has scheduled the eighth annual Teen Safe Driving Video contest for high school students. The theme is: “When Shifting into Drive, Keep the Safety of Others in Mind!” Five student advisors created this theme with the idea that teens should practice selfless driving, and be conscious of drivers as well as the environment around them. Teens

must realize that they should be aware of their surroundings when driving, and that they should take others into consideration when making crucial driving decisions, the advisors commented when deciding on the theme. The contest is open to all public, private and homeschooled high school students in Connecticut. More information about the contest can be found at ct.gov/teendriving/ contest.

Opinion Letters to the Editor Selfless citizens To the editor: Dedicated local Democrats are selflessly stepping up to do tons of work for our community. I am counting on my fellow residents to elect these individuals whose personal integrity, intelligence, sense of service to others and passion for guiding this community are unsurpassed. Our Democratic candidates are Steve Levy- Selectmen; Martin French -Tax Collector; Christine Geraci - Town Treasurer; Molly Nolan Board of Finance; Robert Moore - Board of Assessment Appeals; Mark Jungles - Zoning Board of Appeals; Anton Nolan - Zoning Board of Appeals Alternate. Vote for this great Democratic ticket Tuesday, Nov. 3 Korn school. Katharine W. Forline Durham

Shame of sign thieves

To the editor: Why are they stealing my dad’s signs? This is a puzzlement to me. Peter Neidhardt, my dad, is a Democrat and candidate for First Selectman in Middlefield. Other people have signs too. Why steal my dad’s signs? I’m an athlete and believe in fair play. Stealing doesn’t seem fair to me. If someone has an objection, talk with my dad. He’s certainly out there knocking on enough doors. The democratic way is to hear different points of view and then to decide. Why steal? It’s a sneaky way to show what you don’t like, but what do you stand for? My dad has a platform that he stands on. Ask him about it. Mary E. Neidhardt Middlefield

The right choice

To the editor: Mr. Johnson is misrepresenting himself when claiming to be an Independent. He secured his place on the ballot as a petitioning candidate, not as a person endorsed by a political party.

Parties are designed so that a candidate represents the aspirations and consensus of a group of people. Mr. Johnson represents his own values. I believe that Peter Neidhardt is the right choice, chosen by a Democratic caucus vote, to move our community forward. Join me in supporting Peter Neidhardt for First Selectman on Nov. 3. Joyce Dowling Middlefield

Listen, enlist, decide

To the editor: Taryn Ruffino is a new face on the political scene in Middlefield and Rockfall. Walking neighborhoods with Peter Neidhardt to meet residents and encourage participation in the democratic process, she speaks with an awareness of town priorities, but also with a passion for community action. A lifelong resident of our community, she is a natural choice to serve Middlefield and Rockfall as Selectman. She listens to people, she enlists cooperation, she gives answers, and she makes decisions. Listen, enlist, answer, decide. That spells “lead,” and that is what Taryn is all about. See Peterandtaryn. com for more information. Ron Frost Middlefield

Bipartisanship needed To the editor: It makes me glad to see bipartisanship among our town leaders. The current Board of Selectmen has demonstrated this perfectly for at least six years. Now the Middlefield Republican Town Committee has done this by endorsing Ed Bailey for First Selectman. Here’s the scoop: Ed Bailey is an unaffiliated voter – he doesn’t take sides. Every vote he has taken on the Board of Selectmen has always been prefaced by the question “What is best for

See Letters / Page 9

Remembering the good ol’ days My boys are convinced that I rode a dinosaur to my one-room schoolhouse, back when I was just a tadpole. And yes, it was uphill each way! My youth unraveled itself in a world that was much simpler than the one we live in now, and by today’s standards one that might even look a bit primitive. Oh, but that world had a lot of good in it. So come with me, for just a spell, while I show you some of it. It was long before electronics ruled the day. Kids were not tethered, for hours at a time, and sometimes days, to virtual games and social media devices, and whatever else technology has delivered. When there was no school, we were outside all day long. And I mean all day long. Right after breakfast, until it was dark, only coming in for lunch and supper. We were connected to the natural world in ways that, perhaps, many kids today are not, as we went exploring in the woods and built forts and climbed trees. We played all the regular childhood games, and we made some up. It was such fertile ground for growing our imaginations and our spirits. My favorite TV show, “Lassie,” had a character named Porky (you can probably get a good visual of him) who would stand

outside Jeff’s window and yell “Hee Haw Hee” when he wanted him to come out and play (Looking back, it seems like an odd way to beckon someone.) My next door neighbor, Sandy, and I thought that was the coolest thing. So almost every evening in the summer, while my family and I were eating supper, we would hear that melodious “Hee Haw Hee,” and out I went to frolic with my buddy until nighttime nudged us back in. We loved to go to the drive-in, which back then meant an outdoor movie. We would often go with another family, with the parents in one car and us kids in the next car. That way we young’uns could hoot and holler and make all the noise we wanted, and maybe get in a little thumb wrestling, without the stern reprimands from the old folks. There were always two movies, and between the two we would head to the snack bar, and after that to the swings. Drive-in nights were the best! It was a tradition, with everyone it seemed, to have

a big meal at noontime on Sundays, followed by a car ride. On our travels my mother and stepfather would comment on the houses we passed that they liked and the ones we passed that they didn’t like. Sometimes we got ice cream, or parked at the Guilford dock and watched the boats. Often we stopped at someone’s house for a visit. It was not considered rude back then to just pop in. Television was rudimentary. Shows were in black and white, and we only had three channels. Rabbit ears were perched on top of a big box-like set, and had to be adjusted on a regular basis in order to get anything resembling a clear picture. We thought we had won the lottery when we graduated to an antenna that sat on the roof. This was long before remote controls. I served as the remote control. Every time my folks wanted to change the channel, they had me get up and do it. When I asked “why me?” the answer See Carr / Page 25

A civil engineer with bachelor’s and master’s degrees from the University of Connecticut and formerly an adjunct professor for the University of New Haven, Bob is methodical, thoughtful and hardworking.

THANK YOU for choosing us #1 “Best Home Improvement Contractor”

To the editor: I missed the Durham Fair and the Confederate Railroad controversy, so I was heartened to read Mark Dionne’s report that the issue did not escalate at the fair. Over the years, walking through Civil War battlefields, I have been consumed with grief for the young men – North and South alike – who lay together, few flags left to distinguish their ideologies. I know I had relatives on both sides – the Merrills and the Prydes – all relatively poor, not slave owners, probably some never even having seen a slave. And because of the timing of their service, I think the northerners marching behind the stars and stripes joined believing the

Union must be preserved; the southerners following the stars and bars believing in their right to defend their states against invasion. So that’s the problem with symbols and revisionist history. Remember that the Civil War was not initially to end slavery but rather to preserve the Union. It was only while the north was losing the war and following the north’s technical victory at Antietam that President Lincoln took the opportunity to turn the Civil War into a war against slavery by issuing the Emancipation Proclamation, freeing slaves – and even then only those in parts of the U.S. that were in rebellion. Most importantly, by doing that, Lincoln relieved the threat of intervention by England and France, siding, as they were inclined to, with the south that supplied the cotton for their textiles. I understand both the anti-confederate flag protesters and those who wore the flag at the fair. I especially support their right to express their opinions to anyone who will listen. And I hope our press will continue to report all views. Having just returned from the European Union where individual opinions are less and less tolerated “for the greater good,” I am so glad to be home. Merrill Adams Durham

Durham is awarded $3 million for superfund work Calling it a â&#x20AC;&#x153;victoryâ&#x20AC;? for town residents, State Sen. Ted Kennedy, Jr. (D-Branford) announced that the State of Connecticut has awarded Durham $3 million to cover the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s share of the cost for the remedial action plan and installation of water mains and soil remediation at the Durham Meadows superfund site. The work will be performed by the Federal Environmental Protection Agency. According to the EPA: The site consists of groundwater contamination generally centered on Main Street in Durham and industrial and residential properties in

the area. Rural residential, commercial, and light industrial properties surround the area of concern, however, the exact boundary of the contamination is not currently known. Investigations at the Durham Meadows site center on several possible sources in the area of contamination and include, but are not limited to, the former location of the Merriam Manufacturing Company and the Durham Manufacturing Company, both of which are located on Main Street. The Merriam Manufacturing Company was established in 1851 and manufactured metal displays and boxes.

Wastewater containing dissolved organic solvents and paint wastes were disposed of in lagoons from 1973 to 1982. In another area, paint wastes and degreasing solvents were stored on the ground in drums. Most of Merriam Manufacturing Companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s facilities burned in 1998, and the company has relocated its operations. The Durham Manufacturing Company was established in 1922 and continues to operate as a manufacturer of metal boxes. Wastewater and waste sludge was disposed of in sludge drying beds, and wastes have also been stored

on that site in drums. Many residents in the area are using private wells. The site is less than 0.5 miles from the Coginchaug River to the west and currently borders

on the Allyn Brook to the south. A freshwater wetland is located on the Durham Manufacturing Company property. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Press Release

Dress Code Frustrates Seniors On Friday, Sept. 4, senior class president Shaun Whitaker was publicly addressed in front of her homeroom meeting for “violation of the Coginchaug dress code.” Whitaker was sent to the office for her exposed shoulders, despite the fact that her strap measured one inch. Frustrated with getting in trouble for a rule that she didn’t violate, Whitaker made an appointment with Principal Brian Falcone for later that day, joined by seniors Amy Arcari, Cassie Kovacs, Taylor Marino, Larissa Cade, and Abigail Coogan in support of her views. “Dress code seems to only be relevant during the fall and spring seasons, so it was an appropriate time to speak our voices,” said Whitaker. “The girls brought to my attention concerns they had with the dress code,” Falcone said of the meeting. Not only were the seniors upset with the fact that girls are getting reprimanded for clothing that adheres to the dress code, but they also hoped to “inform teachers to stop embarrassing girls publically and offensively,” said Kovacs. “If you’re

going to tell students to change into something that follows school policies, there is a correct way to approach the situation instead of insulting someone’s sense of style or even morals,” she said. “I lost three hours of class time just because of the shirt I chose to put on that morning, and I think there are more important issues that could be addressed in that time,” reasoned Whitaker. At the Sept. faculty meeting later in the month, Falcone addressed his teachers: “I relayed the girls’ concerns to the staff and discussed a new procedure with the goal of doing our best to prevent students from being embarrassed when we enforce the dress code,” he said. Although this partially addresses her concerns,

Whitaker still feels gender discrimination is present in our policies. “Nobody will call out a boy for a cut-off shirt, but teachers have no problem pulling aside a girl for a slight midriff,” she reasoned. Whitaker’s dress code case seemed to be a breaking point for female seniors not because of the dress code rules themselves but because of the conflict in the delivery of the rules by staff. Can heated emotions concerning dress code be eliminated by revising rules? Will staff members approaching the situation in a more professional manner than in the past help ease tension? Or is dress code a perceptionbased topic that can’t avoid the sensitivity and diverse opinions that go along with it?

Healthy Fair Food Is that Possible? By Ava Altschuler A common conversation days before the Durham Fair involves how much greasy fair food one plans on consuming during the long weekend. Yes, an important aspect of the fair is getting to eat indulgent, guilty, and delicious foods and beverages such as chocolate-covered bacon, Lime Rickies, and fried Snickers bars. Although these treats are one of a kind, if you are either looking to stay on the right track with a healthy diet or even a high school athlete trying to feel your best for training, you can find healthy, culturally unique foods at the fair as well. A healthy diet isn’t a common practice by high school students, but Coginchaug athletes have sporting events to play during the course of the fair weekend, and fried dough may not settle properly in the scorching sun on the turf. So whether you want to keep your clean eating habits in check by limiting the amount of cheat snacks you have, or you want to feel refreshed and ready for a football game, no worries, there are healthy food options hiding somewhere among the fairgrounds. First and foremost, note to yourself to always bring a day’s worth of sealed water bottles since “the overpriced water at the fair really impacts how

much you drink during the day,” said senior football player Jordan Solis. However, Instead of completely cutting out the experience of special fair drinks and only drinking water, you can find alternatives to unhealthy beverages. A classic Lime Rickey: fizzy, quenching, and loaded with sugar. Instead of purchasing a $7 large Lime Rickey, you can cool off with a fresh-squeezed lemonade from Melissa’s Lemonade. Coming to the fair for 20 years, Ethan from Melissa’s Lemonade booth says, “It’s important to us to provide people with real, all natural lemonade instead of some of the sugar-based sticky drinks here.” Grecian Delight’s fruit lemonade, made with a base of water and loaded with strawberries, pineapple, and lime, would also satisfy your thirst instantly. After eating a donut, bread bowl, or a hot dog, senior volleyball player Carlie Annechino says she feels sick and therefore can’t eat fair food before an 8 a.m. practice because if she does she, “won’t be able to perform her best.” You can find a simple alternative to a greasy meal by stopping by the Grecian Delight booth which offers chicken breast kebabs and grilled veggie pitas.

Eco Keeps Fair Clean By Samantha Vigue For the ninth year, Coginchaug’s Eco-Club teamed up with Boy Scout Troop 27 to tackle Durham Fair bottle recycling. Mr. Stefan Michael, the leader of the Durham Fair Recycling Project, reported that the scouts and Eco collected about 29,000 redeemable cans and plastic bottles for 5-cent deposits and 7,700 recyclable bottles for no deposit. At specified shifts, the volunteers from the two groups went out with a tractor trailer and collected the bottles from the recycle bins that were all around the fair. Once the crew got back from collecting, it was time to sort everything. The grossest thing that was found this year was a dirty diaper. They also found a whole bag of unopened bottles still wrapped up in the plastic case it came in. Starting last year, Eco collected the compost from different groups around the fair. Mrs. Susan Michael, the leader of Eco and this project, said, “I am still waiting to hear what the weight of our composting was, but the dumpster was definitely more full than last year.” Last year, the club collected 3.84 tons of compost. According to Mrs. Michael, more booths participated in composting this year.

Junior cheerleader Lauren Donnelly said, “The best thing about Benchwarmers is that the atmosphere when you are working is very fun and positive, and everyone brings an upbeat work ethic that makes working an enjoyable part of the fair.” Annechino said, “Benchwarmers is essential to the Coginchaug Athletic Department because it brings in a lot of money in order for us to get the materials that are needed throughout the season.” Kovacs talked about how even at times when sports teams are not purchasing new equipment, the Benchwarmers are very dedicated and motivated to keep pushing forward. She also stated, “The outcome is huge, and a lot of us don’t even realize how much is actually accomplished because of this.” Donnelly believes that if it wasn’t for Benchwarmers, Coginchaug athletes wouldn’t be privileged with the things they have now. Donnelly said, “They create so many opportunities for us that we would never dream of having if it wasn’t for them.”

New Rules Restrict Freedom

A15 3

Friday, October 9, 2015

Photos by Miranda Cronin

By Miranda Cronin The new rules have raised some big questions with the students at Coginchaug: Are these rules taking away our freedom? Are these rules doing more harm than good? The passbook system was a rule that Principal Brian Falcone wanted to implement last year but couldn’t because the people who make the agenda book forgot to print them into the book last year. “The pass system helps us keep better track of students,” he said, “Knowing where students are is essential to their personal safety.“ Even though the passbooks are improving the safety of each student, there are still

a lot of students who don’t agree with the new system. “I think the passbooks are ridiculous because teachers always check it in the hallways, and I’m afraid I’ll run out of pages before the school ends,” stated freshman Aiden Moore. Sophomore Cooper Berry said, “The passbooks take too much time to fill out, so I just don’t go to the bathroom.” Another new rule that was put in place this year was the structured study halls, While sophomore Shannon Meiselman stated “Structured study hall helps you get a lot of work done and keeps you productive. I think that the passbooks

are good because it’s good for teachers to know where students are” The new study hall system has made big waves with some students who think the new system is restricting their freedom. Senior Victoria Pinkett said, “Study halls suck because I can’t do anything. I’m eighteen and need to have a book to use the bathroom or get a drink.” Mr. Falcone understands that some seniors are unhappy with the limit of freedom and said, “My goal is to someday create an ‘upperclassmen lounge’ for the students with frees to hang out in.”

Coginchaug’s Library Media Center has been virtually empty ever since the new rules were put into place.

Redneck Arena Splashes at the Fair By Saige Avery Over the Durham Fair weekend, one of the newer attractions was the Redneck Arena, organized by Samantha Divito. Events included the mud pit belly flop contest and miscellaneous games such as giant Jenga, toilet seat horseshoes, a frozen wet t-shirt contest, and the game of stump. When Travis New-

ell, a mud pit belly flop contestant, was asked if he thought that the Redneck Arena represented the fair well, he quoted the Durham Fair’s motto: “Good. Clean. Wholesome. Fun.” Costumes for different events were picked from a wall of options when the contestants arrived, and they tried to be as creative

as possible. The winner of the mud pit belly flop contest was Chris Slight with the grand prize of a $75 gift certificate to Artie’s Bar and Grill, which was the official sponsor of the mud pit. Overall, the contestants seemed to have a fun time; the crowd was supportive, cheering for the volunteers.

HEALTHY FAIR FOOD Durham’s Perk on Main on Wheels may list dessert crepes on their menu, such as a Nutella and strawberry crepe, but they also offer nutritious lunch crepes such as the Popeye, made with grilled chicken, spinach, onions, garlic, and cheddar. The list goes on with healthy options such as John Lyman’s fresh corn on the cob or a baked potato with no toppings; you just have to be willing to look farther down on a menu, past the cheeseburgers and french fries, and be willing to ask for specific requests in orders such as “less cheese” or “not fried”.

“Healthy” desserts are fairly limited at the fair, but if you have the choice of six fried oreos or a lightly coated, chocolate banana, think twice and stick to the fruit. I have yet to find a basic house salad at the Durham Fair, but I promise you there is no reason you don’t have any other option besides going home feeling nauseous from an overdose on fair food. So next time you attend the Durham Fair, or any other fair or festival for that matter, look carefully, ask questions to know the contents of the food, and enjoy!

He takes pleasure in exploring literature and has been an avid reader since he was in high school. Mr. Amodio chose to be a teacher because he enjoys working with young people and loves the subject he teaches. What Mr. Amodio likes most about CRHS so far is the positive attitude of students towards learning. “The students here are self-motivated to do well and try to get the most they can out of their classes,” he says. “It’s not something you see at every school.” In his spare time, Mr. Amodio enjoys playing board games,

Italy Comes to Coginchaug By Katelynn Branciforte Seeing new faces in Durham, CT is a rarity, but what is even more rare is seeing a face and finding out that the person is from another country. Junior Sofia Baronchelli made the long trek all the way from Italy to America to be an exchange student. She is being hosted by the Sinicrope family and finds them kind and supportive. “I am very happy to be with them,” Baronchelli said. Sofia wanted to par-

ticipate in the exchange program because about three years ago someone told her about all of the amazing experiences they had and how it improved their English. She also wanted to see what an American high school was like compared to all of the films she has seen as that was her dream. What she didn’t know was that she would be welcomed to Coginchaug with open arms by both students and faculty who she

finds both kind and helpful. She also found that joining the high school’s cheerleading team helped her make more friends. Even though she is thousands of miles away from home, technology such as Skype and FaceTime have been useful tools that help her keep in touch with her family and friends back in Italy. While the transition seemed difficult, Sofia is excited for the rest of her year in America.

Homecoming in the Making

Junior Sofia Baronchelli has become good friends with a lot of new people, inlcuding her best friend junior Lauren Donnelly.

By Jacquelyn Stevens Wave goodbye to September and say hello to the month of October, including pumpkin spice, the changing leaves, breast cancer awareness events, Halloween, and most prevalent to CRHS students, Homecoming. There will be a pep rally organized by Ms. Bowman and a football game against Morgan at one o’clock on Saturday, Oct. 17, at CRHS. The pep rally is Friday, Oct. 16 and that week there will be a spirit week to get everyone ready for it! “There will be relay races, minute to win it, tug-a-war, along with performances by the Cheerleaders and pep band. Also captains of fall sports will share how the seasons are going.” In order for the blue and white themed Homecoming dance to be a success,

the junior class student council is beginning to meet and plan for the event. Junior student council member Aidan Doyle reports, “If you buy a ticket for $25, you will be welcomed into the fourhour dance with free food including pizza, popcorn, and cotton candy and the atmosphere of strobe lights and light machines... You will receive sun glasses as a souvenir.” The Junior Council is bringing back the photo booth again this year, along with Senior Homecoming King and Queen. The photobooth will not have a photographer, so students can take as many pictures as they want and have the ability to get as creative as they want! Monday through Friday, two weeks before the dance, there will be a nomination box to write

names of people you want to nominate for king and queen; the next week there will be three to five people picked from the given names. Unfortunately there isn’t a deejay yet, but the Junior Council is contacting possible DJs and have a backup plan of renting equipment. Visit crhs.rsd13ct.org for more coverage on the Homecoming Dance!

VOLLEYBALL By Saige Avery Volleyball is off to a good start to the season. They are 5-11. Key players include senior captains Caitlyn Sibiskie and Alana Backert as well as freshman Bailey Zettergren. “We had two serious injuries to two of our starters, and we pulled up freshman Bailey Zettergren to be a new libro, so she was a huge asset,” Beckert said. “ It was a big change but she held up well.” The captains this year are showing great leadership. Beckert said, “One of our strengths is that our team has a strong bond, and we pick each other up on and off the court.” The team’s goal is to make it to States and Shorelines and win.

BOYS SOCCER

GIRLS SOCCER

By Spencer McCoy

Girls Soccer with a record of 3 wins, 2 losses, and 1 tie get ready to play a home game against Portland on tuesday Oct 13 at 3:45. They are hoping to have the same chemistry between midfielders and hope their back line stays together again like in their game against Old Lyme on Monday Sept 28. During that game their key players were Jess Drop, Larissa Cade, Megan Decker, and Taylor Marino in goal. Senior captain Larissa Cade hopes to play well in the next few games and said, “It determines if we will make the State and Shoreline tournaments.” Before their next game, senior captain Taylor Marino wants to improve on “positive encouragement” while Cade wants to “play the game like we are down a goal the whole game.”

With a record of 3 wins and 5 losses, the Coginchaug boys soccer team is preparing for the rest of their season. On Monday, Oct. 5, senior Alec Bogen scored two goals in their 8-0 victory against North Branford along with Kyle Judson who scored 3. Bogen says their next game should be a “good challenge” as Old Saybrook is a high-ranked team. The boys hope their new, more offensive formation will give them an advantage.

Teacher Feature: Mrs. Carrie Howes By Brooke Troutman Mrs. Carrie Howes is the new photography teacher at Coginchaug this year. Previously, Mrs. Howes had a career as a graphic designer but stopped to raise her three boys, although she still did freelancing during this time. When her boys got older and it was time to go back to work, she chose teaching because she enjoys working with kids and wanted to be more involved with art. Mrs. Howes applied for ARC (Alternate Route to Certification) and got accepted to a ten-month program to get certified to teach art. In addition to teaching

photography at the high school, she also teaches art at John Lyman School. “I’ve always enjoyed working with kids, and I wanted to share my passion of the arts with a younger generation,” said Mrs. Howes. When asked why she also chose to teach high school, she replied, “It’s cool to teach older kids because I can develop my craft more, and I’ve always had a passion for photography. It’s the best of both worlds.” In her free time, Mrs. Howes enjoys taking pictures outside of school, singing, and being outdoors.

FOOTBALL

CHEERLEADING By Carson Aitken The cheerleading team started their season strong. At their first halftime performance, they hit their routine. Since then, they have performed twice more at the football game halftimes and also performed their routine perfectly. “We killed all three of our routines so far, and I definitely think it will be a great season,” said senior captain Jacquelyn Stevens. Senior co-captain Katelynn Branciforte said, “Our pyramids have been really strong as well as our one mans.” The whole team has been really positive and put in a lot of hard work, but they don’t want to slow down; Stevens and Branciforte both said the team has been training as hard as ever to prepare for competition season. Everyone on the team is looking forward to having a positive season with no setbacks and expecting a lot from sophomore Amanda Potvin and freshman Isabel Haeberly, “underclassman who have shown a lot of drive and determination to be the best they can be,” said Stevens and Branciforte. Their next game is at home in 2 weeks.

Football ended last weekend with a record of 2 wins, 2 losses because the Blue Devils were ready for the game against the Raiders on Oct. 3. Senior captain and quarterback Wes Benjunas wants to fix some things about the team’s pass coverage. He said he has some “reads he needs to work on”. “[We] need to work on pass coverage, but other than that, as a whole, we played very well,” Benjunas continued. During that game, their key players were senior runningback Parker Tregoning and Benjunas. Tregoning leads the state in rushing and scoring. He was nominated 4 times for player of the week in 3 different news outlets. The Devils play again at home on Oct. 17 at 1:00 p.m.

BOYS CROSS COUNTRY By Taylor Marino The boys have not won a meet yet as a school but say they are constantly improving during practice. Their next meet is Saturday, Oct. 10 at Wickham Park. The key runners to look out for at the next meet are Peter Schulten, Matt Woznyk, Sean McMaster and Danny Turecek. Senior captain Owen Tobin said, “We are making a lot of improvements, and we have a good chance of winning Shorelines; we are excited for future meets.”

Senior captain Angela Koerber has been a great leader and pushes her team every day to work harder to improve and become better. “I am proud of how the season is going, and I think that we’ve improved a lot since last year,” said senior Sam Vigue. With returning key runners senior Samantha Drop and junior Allie Alsup, the girls cross country team hopes to make a statement in the Shoreline Conference and States; their goal is to take home another trophy, just like last year.

Tregoning Breaks Records; News Notices Senior Parker Tregoning rushed for 410 yards on 31 carries and scored six touchdowns in the Blue Devils’ Oct. 3 game against Windsor Locks/East Granby/Suffield, which the boys won 46-14. According to Coach Nick D’Angelo, Tregoning’s “…426 yards rushing is eighth all time in the state of CT for yards in a single game”. According to MaxPreps.com, Tregoning leads CT in scoring and rushing.

Coginchaug Cross Country Runs to the Sun By Ava Altschuler On Tuesday, Sept. 22, the boys and girls cross country teams hosted their annual Going to the Sun Invitational at Coginchaug. The girls team had a strong turnout taking first place while the boys placed fourth overall. With Portland as their biggest rival, the team felt prepared for competing against them with their strength of “conquering the big hill because as a team [they] practice that a lot, and other teams fall behind by that point,” according to junior Allison Alsup. Senior captain Owen Tobin likes how “the team knows exactly where to kick in their last bit of energy on the course.” As coach Lavinia Vigue began calling races through a megaphone, senior captain Angela Koerber organized tags, gathered baked goods, organized teams, warmed up her team, and prepared

ice and water. “I love the spirit of this meet, and our overall setup is really well marked,” Koerber said with pride. The CRHS cross country team makes the meet inspirational by writing phrases such as, “Keep going” and “Run harder” on the grass uphills and along Allen Brook Park’s brick wall. Although the meet was a challenge to organize, it ended up being “more relaxed, with no traveling and no need of reviewing the course. Little logistical things made it easier to focus on getting prepared to race,” Coach Vigue said. Senior Samantha Drop came into the race composed yet confident as she predicted to win the girls varsity race and place first as a team. “I feel the pressure to do even better because it’s our own meet,” said Drop. Top female runners of the day included senior

Samantha Drop, junior Allison Alsup, sophomore Ashley Dana, senior Samantha Vigue, sophomore Adriana Wimler, and sophomore Kate Schulten. Drop accomplished her goal of taking first place individually. The top male runners included freshman Peter Schulten, junior Matt Woznyk, sophomore Shaun McMaster, freshman Connor Rulnick, and senior James Peters. Going to the Sun was an altogether special day for Coginchaug cross country runners including “the first recognizable girls cross country senior night within the past four years at Coginchaug, which was established by the juniors who made heartfelt posters and gave out flowers,” said Koerber. The event also contributed to “bringing in the majority of fundraising money to contribute to cross country’s needs,” said Allsup.

The Blue Devils wasted no time picking up where they left off after their first win of the season against Coventry. Coginchaug blasted visiting Windsor Locks on Saturday, Oct. 3 by a final score of 46-14 to improve to 2-2 on the year. Parker Tregoning jumpstarted the Devils on both sides of the ball. The senior recovered a Panthers fumble on the opening drive to give Coginchaug great field position, before taking the ball into the end zone from four yards out to give the home team a 7-0 lead. A mere five minutes later, Tregoning found paydirt again, this time on a 65-yard scamper behind strong blocking from the offensive line. He also scored two minutes into the second quarter to help Coginchaug break out to a 20-0 lead before a last-second heave to the end zone put Windsor Locks on the board just before the half, 20-7.

are required to have a minimum slant to prevent snow and water build up. Flanagan said that the design will allow for the future addition of solar panels without renovation to the roof, if the BOE puts the question in front of voters again and it passes. According to information from Central Office, the metal framing visible from the ground is complete and ready for the addition of approximately 5,200 square

feet of roof panels, which will be installed starting Oct. 9 and continuing for the month. The installation includes additional drains and overflow drains, an R-value of close to 30, and safety railings. The design, called a “standing seam metal sloped roof,” is the same used over the Korn school gym and all of Lyman and Memorial. According to Central Office, the benefits compared to other designs include a 40-year lifespan with limited to no

topics at public discussion in advance of the vote. The public feedback on the budget was more muted than in recent years and mostly focused on the eventually withdrawn proposal to share a state trooper with Durham. The defeat of the solar panels at referendum notably took place less than two months after a solar farm proposed by the town of Durham was defeated at a March 9 Board of Selectmen meeting. The BOE, which had to present a second budget for referendum, did not return the solar panels to the ballot. Members said that the community might resent the same question going back a month later and the time frame for 1-888-596-2912 befreesolar.com Go Solar For FREE state bonding issues was Municipal Non-profits Up Front Cost Residential - NoCommercial closing.

At the May 13 BOE meeting, Flanagan also said that the project was “a significant net financial benefit to the community” and that the BOE would have to lose a year on the project and do a better job communicating those benefits to the community. “We acknowledge the fact that we did not make it clear,” Flanagan said on May 13, “why we believe it’s the right OVER project.” 30 YEARS OF Flanagan said that the BOE EXPERIENCE has not talked about revisiting the solar panels during the current school year beE (860) 916-2457 FRE T. cause the budget meetings www.hcpremodeling.com ES have not started and the board is focused on school “Foundation to the Roof and Everything Between”LIC. #541451 reconfiguration.

cost for maintenance, better snow removal, and less modification of existing roof equipment. In the low-turnout May 5 referendum, voters approved an allocation of approximately $1,300,000 to replace the roof by a vote of 692 to 406, but rejected an allocation of $785,000 to install solar panels above the gym by a vote of 608 to 489. Both projects were eligible for state reimbursement of over half of the costs. Flanagan said that the state has since lowered its reimburse-

ment for solar projects. If the project were to be approved in the future, the net savings might not be what they would have been if the panels were installed with the roof. The defeat of the solar panels frustrated board members at the time. Energy savings and revenue from the sale of energy credits were intended to pay for the roof project. “Without the solar panels, the budget goes up,” Flanagan said on May 5. The roof project and solar panels were not significant

Lower Connecticut River Valley Council of Governments (River COG) and has previously served as Chairman of both DMIAAB and a Middlefield Salary Study Commission. Dating further back, Johnson served on a District 13 Faculty Need Committee. A registered Democrat, Johnson took the different route of running as a petitioning candidate. Johnson said he was approached by the Democratic Nominating Committee but “I feel it’s best to run my own campaign on my own platform.” In addition to a website that includes a bio and a brief rundown of issues, Johnson has been canvassing door to door. “You have to knock on doors. People want to see who they’re making a decision on,” Johnson said. Middlefield residents are excited to have a third choice in the race, according to Johnson, who has made account-

the Republicans have positioned him as a continuation of the team. The Middlefield Democrats have nominated a full slate including Peter Neidhardt for First Selectman.

ability and responsiveness centerpieces of his campaign. Johnson said, “There’s a consensus among people that money could be spent better. Run the town as a business would run itself.” Johnson is critical of the way the town has handled the lease of the cell tower and the state trooper lawsuit. Maintenance of open space and town roads are two other issues brought up on Johnson’s website. Johnson said that he wants to bring his experience as P&Z chair and his experience in labor negotiations to the office, adding “I’d be more than capable of representing the town as First Selectman.” Timing is key to Johnson’s race. Johnson said he will retire from his job should he win the office and calls himself the only candidate who plans on treating the office as his only job. “I can’t emphasize enough: I promise to be a full-time First Selectman,” Johnson said. This is the second consecutive time Middlefield voters have faced a three-way contest. In 2013, Jon Brayshaw won re-election over challengers Lucy Petrella and Marianne Corona.
