THOMPSON — Join the Captain Noah Grant and Sarah Williams Danielson Chapters of the Connecticut Daughters of the Revolution on June 16 for a Grave Marking Ceremony honoring Revolutionary War patriot and mariner Albemarle Stone of Pomfret. Held at the Bruce Cemetery on River Road in Pomfret, the emotional and his- torically important ceremony will be followed by a reception at the Old Town House. These annual grave marking ceremonies are an important part of what the DAR do across the state. Because while all chapters can choose their own community-oriented fundraisers and activities, they often share the same values. “We want to bring it home to people that we had people right here in our community that were involved in the Revolutionary War,” said Chair Ida Ransom. “Unfortunately people today often don’t know their history.” Charlie Lentz photo Honoring history is a huge part of the DAR.

KILLINGLY — When Eastconn Head Start Killingly teacher Janet McDonald rode the bus in the afternoon with her students on the night of their annual Art Show, she heard the kids tell their family members, “I’ve got to dress up tonight.” And later, many of the boys showed up to the show wearing dinosaur graphic tees. The excitement the children had over the Art Show is what makes McDonald the most passionate about it. Featuring hundreds of art pieces from Head Start classrooms in Plainfield, Putnam and Killingly, the show is a night to show the children just how special they are. “I let them know how big a deal the night is,” said McDonald. “Their accomplish- ments and growth are demonstrated through their artwork.” The family and community celebration had more than just awesome art pieces, said McDonald. There was also live music, face painting, balloon animals, crafts and food.

Villager sports BSection “If it’s important to YOU, it’s important to US” www.VillagerNewspapers.com Tri-Town opens American Legion season

BY CHARLIE LENTZ VILLAGER EDITOR THOMPSON — To hear Ron Coderre tell it, the American Legion baseball season is as much about right and wrong as it is about balls and strikes. Don’t get the Commander of Putnam Legion Post No. 13 wrong — Coderre wants Tri- Town to win. But he wants the Townies to do it the right way. “The American Legion has four basic pillars. And that’s the rehabilitation of veterans, defense of our country, Americanism, and service to youth,” Coderre said. “And as part of service to youth we do this baseball program.” Tri-Town’s baseball committee expects the players to carry themselves with honor. Tri-Town represents American Legion Post No. 13 in Putnam, Post 111 in Woodstock, and Post 67 in North Grosvenordale. Coderre is the Legion Commander for Post 13. Todd Smith is the Commander for Post 111. Robert Lebeau is the Commander for Post 67. “What we’re trying to do is inculcate into the players a sense of teamwork, responsibility, respect — not only for their teammates but for the officials, for the coaches, for their parents — and take it beyond the baseball field and into the field of life,” Coderre said. “So that when they get Charlie Lentz photo out in the world they will be Tri-Town’s Mitchel Barylski steals second base in the fifth inning as Jewett City’s George Etzel covers the bag in Thompson on June 12. well-rounded young men who will be prepared to face the challenges that are ahead.” he saw the bigger picture. than what they had and real- ing out six over five innings, Gileau took the loss, going four American Legion baseball “They have to conduct them- ly turn the program around,” allowing three hits, and walk- and two-thirds innings, strik- was established by the veterans selves in a manner, they have Akana said. “Try to give them ing three.
