Far above the streets of Danielson the steeple of the Westfield Congregational Church stands as a beacon of hope. The church is a focal point for community outreach programs that inform, support, encourage and inspire. From the Blessing of the Backpacks for grade school students to counseling services and hospice programs for the greater community, the historic Westfield Church is there for all. But time has taken a toll. The church and its steeple need restoration. That’s why we’ve launched Aspire: The Westfield Church Capital Campaign. We’ve raised just under $305,000 to date. Our goal is $835,800.

Show your support by donating online at westfielducc.org/aspire or call 860-208-6253 to find out more. Regardless of your beliefs, we hope you’ll help us restore this magnificent and historic landmark. Villager Newspapers % Town-to-Town Classifieds % Friday, November 14, 2014 B1

Villager sports BSection “If it’s important to YOU, it’s important to US” www.VillagerNewspapers.com Killingly bows in state semifinals BY CHARLIE LENTZ VILLAGER SPORTS EDITOR WETHERSFIELD — Killingly High made its debut on the big stage Tuesday night at Wethersfield High’s Joseph E. Cottone Field — playing under the lights in the CIAC Class S Field Hockey Tournament semifinals against undefeated and No.-1 seed Lewis Mills. The Redgals fell 2-0 to the Spartans and did not reach Saturday’s championship game — but Killingly junior Hailey Beaupre said the school’s journey to the state semifinals spoke volumes. “Being a part of this team has been probably the great- est time of my life. There are no words to describe the pas- sion this team has — the cour- age, the strength, the motiva- tion, the determination — it’s unimaginable what this team could conquer and what we did conquer this season,” Beaupre said.

Mazon finished with two saves in goal for the Spartans. Katelyn Bennett made six saves for Killingly. Lewis Mills led Killingly 9-4 in shots. The Spartans led the Redgals 9-5 in penalty corners. Junior Alyssa Rainey was Killingly’s leading scorer and she said it was a season to remember despite failing to reach the title game. “We’re all obviously hurt by it. But I’ve been telling them that we made it this far and we made history and we did it together. We didn’t get the win but we played our hearts out and I couldn’t ask for more,” Rainey said. “We were picking each other up — it was an honor to make it this far with these girls.” And perhaps if the Redgals could have scored on several good chances midway through the second half the result would have been different.

We want these kids to feel the victory,” Neal said. “We rallied but we fell short. I want these kids to win. I want them to feel that feeling of winning. I was proud of the way they reacted, the way they played. They didn’t give up. They ral- lied. We could have folded. We could have just packed it in and we didn’t.” With the win Griswold lift- ed its record to 4-4. Killingly’s record fell to 1-8. The Redmen are next scheduled to play at New London (6-2) on Friday, Nov. 14, with kickoff set for 6:30 p.m. “Our kids know what they’re capable of doing,” Neal said. “Putting it together for four quarters is going to be the key the rest of the way.”

Peltier is a senior at the Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts in North Adams, Mass., and runs on the cross country team there. Peltier’s aunt, Tracy Currie, lives in Woodstock and she invited him down to run the Turkey Trot. Tracy and her son, Cody Currie, also ran in the Turkey Trot. He found the course challenging but he’s used to running cross country. “It was definitely a slower course. There’s a lot of roots but it made for an interesting run. The scenery was beautiful and it was a great day to run weather-wise,” Peltier said. The start appeared interesting as well, with many runners funneled through a narrow entrance to the trail off the meadow near West Thompson Dam. A couple of runners took a tumble at the start. “You had to really kind of sprint off if you wanted to be near the front and that’s what I did,” Peltier said. “I just kind of sprinted down to the front and then kept the pace the whole race.” He said he had company until the two-mile mark and then Peltier made his move and created a gap. “The first mile and half to two miles there was definitely a group of five people behind me and then the third mile I kind of broke it off,” Peltier said. “Probably about the second mile I really kind of booked if forward and Charlie Lentz photo that’s where I think the margin came Charlie Lentz photo Brooke Brouillard, winner of the women’s division, nears the finish through.” Overall winner Brendon Peltier races to the finish. line.
