DANIELSON — More than 50 girls from seven Girl Scout troops and 20 parents and leaders took some time Saturday, April 14, cleaning two parks — Owen Bell and Cat Hollow. In total, 20 bags of garbage and a pile of debris (too large for the girls to carry off the trail) were collected after three hours of cleaning (and playing). Pizza and drinks were served afterwards for all their hard work. Participants included girls from Daisies to Senior Girl Scouts (5-16). Ava, a Daisy Girl Scout, said, “I really liked that we helped clean up the animals’ homes.” “I like working with the other Brownies,” said Brownie Girl Scout Molly. Jules, a Brownie Girl Scout, added: “It felt good to pick up trash.” Alex, a Junior Girl Scout, said: “I agree that it is terrible that people throw trash on the ground.” Brianna, a Cadette Girl Scout, agreed. “We did a good job helping others by clean- ing up the park,” she said. Emma, a Senior Girl Scout, added: “It was good to see the younger girls coming together and helping out.”

All the collected trash after three hours of work.

The Daisies are ready to help! The Girls Scouts ready to start picking up trash and helping their community!

WOODSTOCK — Sphinxes, pharaohs and miniature queens highlighted a parade that closed out a week’s worth of Middle Eastern study at Woodstock Elementary School Friday, April 13. This year’s International Week was devoted to studying Egyptian history. Students were treated to an Arabic Dance, Music and Culture performance, as well as a musical entitled “Temples and Tombs” put on by the fourth grade class.

Mrs. Ponte’s third grade class added gold cuffs to their class-made costumes. Students created headdresses modeled after those worn by the ancient Egyptians.

At left: From kindergarten to the fifth grade, students of all ages participated in the International Week Parade Friday, April 13.

At right: Even Principal Viktor Toth got in on the fun, dressing in traditional Egyptian garb.

Students designed special fans, decorated with Egyptian symbols for the Some students went all-out in creating their costumes. Teachers and parents greeted students as they circled through the parade. hallways of Woodstock Elementary School.

Achieving significant milestones at Westview

DAYVILLE — Catherine Novotny recently celebrated her newly acquired centenarian status with friends and family at Westview Health Care Center in Dayville. Loved ones traveled from as far as North Carolina, Virginia, Texas and New Jersey to honor Mrs. Novotny on her birthday and share stories of early childhood memories of what she meant to all who attended. A visually stunning cake decorated to resemble beautifully wrapped gifts was creat- ed for the occasion by local artist/baker John Salvas of Woodstock. The party included a special presentation of a Legislative Citation and Proclamation declaring Saturday, March 31, “Catherine Novotny Day”, given by Rep. Mae Flexer of the 44th Assembly District, State Rep. Danny Rovero of the 51st Assembly District and Senate President Donald Williams. Family members also provided birthday greetings from Willard Scott and President Obama and the First Lady. “Turning 100 is a significant milestone and achievement, and it is certainly a very wor- thy cause for celebration,” said daughter Sonia Esposito. “It is telling by the atten- dance of so many people from all over, the kind of woman she was to all of us. It is a blessing to have her beautiful smile and cheery outlook in our lives.”

THOMPSON — Ron Silk cele- brated his eighth career NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour victory in an extended 159-lap event after Rowan Pennink was posted for not allowing Silk, who chose to take the inside groove for the final restart, to set the pace. He officially jumped the restart. “I had a better car than Rowan,” said Silk after the race. “Before the last restart, he had me up in the marbles. He didn’t even give me a chance to have a line. You can’t beat the leader to the line. If you do, you have to lift. I’m happy to win and we had a better car than he did. I ran him down and passed him with 15 to go. The rule is in black and white. You can’t beat the leader to the line.” Silk started the race in eighth and led just one time throughout the race distance, taking the lead at lap 138 when he dove underneath Late Model winner Tommy O’Sullivan Ryan Preece, the Sunoco Modified Tour Photos courtesy Scott and Dale Nickel Pennink in turn three.
