The week long, school wide pro- gram began on Tuesday May 30 and allowed all students and staff to “trav- el” to Portugal. The students were immersed in the Portuguese culture through classroom visits by docents. These volunteer docents shared crafts, cooking, video presentations and folk- lore stories of Portugal. The day long Market Place gave students the opportu- nity to experience the culture firsthand. While Portuguese Fado music filled the school lobby, students made Portuguese Man o’ War paper sun catchers and paper puppets of the legendary Rooster of Barcelos. Rice pudding and Sumol, a favorite beverage in Portugal, were served. The week commenced with a presentation of Portugal: An Adventure in Discovery. This aerial DVD gave a bird’s eye view of the country. The week would not have been pos- sible without the generosity of volun- teers.

PUTNAM — The 11th annual Particle Accelerator brought live music, fun entertainment and important informa- tion on mental illness and teen suicide to downtown Putnam on Saturday, June 10. Downtown was closed off to traffic so patrons could enjoy a variety of bands and musicians from noon until evening, live BMX demonstrations, face painting, fundraising and great June weather. “This was started in memory of Jack Young Jr,” explained event organizer Sandy Gould, “a young local musician who suffered from depression. His par- ents tried to get him help and couldn’t because he didn’t have insurance.

It takes a lot of work, time and commitment. So we felt there was certainly a lot of interest from the students. We wanted to showcase their skills at a real event.” And a real event it was. While the film festival received “rave reviews” and the audience expressed how impressed they were with the short films, the event was impressive on its own, said Durand. Located at the Killingly High School, there was a 70 foot red carpet, photography students posing as paparazzi, live music and even movie posters (created by Alan Duda – one of the QCFF).

POMFRET — Community-minded bicyclists gathered for a charity ride last Saturday, June 10, at the third annual Interfaith Human Services of Putnam’s Bell Tower Spring Classic Bike Ride. The event raised funds for Daily Bread Food Pantry, IHSP Diaper Bank of Northeast Connecticut, and the IHSP-NU2U Clothing Closet. In addition to monetary contributions, riders were encouraged to make a non-perishable food donation. Bicyclists completed one of three routes on the charity ride: a 62-miler, 10-miler, or a 13-mile distance. The event rolled out at 8 a.m. from Most Holy Trinity Church in Pomfret. Event organizers and volunteers included Karen Osbrey, Rachael Martel, and Holly Gilbert. Marc Cotner led a large contingent of riders from Quinebaug Valley Velo. Osbrey said the event raised $1,500. Ghost riders are encouraged to contribute to the charity and may do so by sending a donation to: IHSP, P.O. Box 281, Putnam, Ct. 06260. IHSP is a non-profit charity organization.
