WOODSTOCK — Woodstock Academy senior Ashleigh Angle was named Most Valuable Player of the Connecticut Girls Soccer Association Senior All-Star game on Nov. 23 at Middletown High School. Angle scored the only goal in the 1-0 victory over the Blue squad. “It was really fun to play in and a really cool experience. I’ve never played in something like that before. It was really competitive, too,” Angle said. Angle was joined by fellow Centaurs senior Ivy Gelhaus in the game. Woodstock Academy coach Dennis Snelling said he believed it was the first time a Centaurs player was named MVP in a girls soccer senior match and it was the first time in 15 years that Woodstock Academy had two players named All-State. Both Angle and Gelhaus received that honor last week.

Bethlehem at Tri-State Baptist Church NORTH GROSVENORDALE — Tri-State Baptist Church in North Grosvenordale has created a “Walk Through Bethlehem” on the church grounds. The scene includes two camels, 65,000 Christmas lights, and the Christmas Story. This is a free experience. Guests in the community are being invited to drop in any time on Saturday, Dec. 8 and Sunday, Dec. 9 between 5 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. Tri-State Baptist Church has designed multiple outdoor sets for visitors to walk through in an approximately 20-minute walk. “I am looking forward to presenting the account of the birth in a biblically accurate way. I think people will enjoy the setting as well as seeing the contrast of truth versus tradition,” said Pastor Ron Berard. A donkey, sheep, and even two camels have been herded up for the event, as well as many costumed interpreters and the 65,000 dazzling lights. Over 70 volunteers have worked together to make this event possible. While the walk does not take long, time should also be planned for a selfie with the camels in provided costumes and to warm up inside with some hot chocolate and gifts for young children ages 10 and under.

The honorees this year were World War II and Korean War Merchant Marine and Army veteran Peter Trama of Putnam, Vietnam War Army vet Charlie Leach, also a Putnam resident and Dr. Michael Therrien, a car- diologist and Air Force veteran who served in the Middle East in the Iraq War. The ceremony honoring the trio was the centerpiece of the evening. Trama was a member of the Merchant Marines during World War II from 1943 to 1951, ferrying fuel and supplies to the troops in the European and Pacific Theaters. He was later drafted into the Army, where he served two years, during the Korean Conflict.

The money raised at the bake sale (usually around $1,000) goes towards the church. This could help with new cushions for the pews to help the elderly be comfortable, to supplies for Sunday School. They also hold danc- es for kids, complete with traditional costume and music. “This is a whole big family,” said Karambinakis.
