Wareham. This is something all members of CAP get a chance to try. “Within 90 days of joining they get to fly with a certified pilot that works with youngsters,” said Wareham, who signed up when he was13 years old. “It changes you for life. This a labor of love.” Civil Air Patrol is now an auxiliary branch of the U.S. Air Force and is funded by them. After a public law was passed by U.S. Congress, and President Harry S. Truman signed it, CAP was then incorporated as a non-profit organization of volunteers. Today they are involved in three main missions, the Cadet Program, Emergency Services (ES) and Aerospace Education. One of their missions is to aid search and rescue and find the lost, keeping the Homeland safe. “When a plane goes down and is lost, 90 perecent of them are found by CAP,” said Wareham. “Once a search-and-rescue aircraft finds something, a team is sent out on the ground to do search and rescue.” Bryce Dietz has three children involved in CAP. He became involved when he saw positive changes in them. “They have learned discipline and leadership skills. It helps with strong character development. They are always looking for ways to help out in the communities,” Dietz said. “There is a Squadron down in Florida that is helping out because of the hurricane that just went by the coast.” On the evening of Sept, 5 the current basic training flight- Bravo Flight moved up to advanced flight- Alpha Flight. Daniel Heffernan relinquished command of Bravo Flight to Hayden Coburn and he became the new Bravo Flight Sergeant. Tzietel Dietz earned the fifth achievement Lindbergh Award that same evening, and Cadet 2nd Lieutenant Logan Wareham earned ninth achievement, a stepping stone to 1st Lieutenant.This group of 28 CAP members meet weekly on Thursday evenings and it is something all of the kids look forward to. Today adults and cadets are as dedicated as the original members were. For more information visit their Facebook page at Danielson Cadet Squadron Ct 074 or just show up on a Thursday evening at 6:30 p.m. at 135 Airport Road.

Villager sports BSection “If it’s important to YOU, it’s important to US” www.VillagerNewspapers.com Say hello to revamped Quinebaug Valley BY CHARLIE LENTZ VILLAGER EDITOR PUTNAM — Joe Asermelly knows the drill. The Quinebaug Valley Pride coach has to meld his co-op football team from students who hail from three separate schools — Putnam High, Tourtellotte Memorial, and Ellis Tech. Asermelly’s challenge begins with introductions when training camp arrives every August. “It takes us a week for our players to learn each other names,” said Asermelly with a grin. “A lot of times they know each other’s numbers before they know their names — never mind to learn to play together. And so what you see going into my season is that this usually gels, and gels in time. And I think we’ll have a successful season. I’m very confident we’re going to put a winning season together this year.” After introductions are completed the work begins each afternoon — but only after players from Putnam High and Thompson’s Tourtellotte Memorial travel to Ellis Tech’s campus in Danielson for practice. “We have an incredibly unique challenge I don’t think the other schools can truly appreciate,” said Asermelly, in his eighth season. The Pride finished 5-5 last season and lost a slew of start- ers via graduation — including most of the offensive and defensive lines, along with three- year starting quarterback Josh Dodd, receivers Jamie Talbot, Charlie Lentz photo Jeff Reed, Adrian Casiano, Sophomore Mike Merrill will be the quarterback for the Quinebaug Valley Pride. The Pride open the season at home on Friday, Sept. 13, with kickoff set for 6 p.m. at Ellis Tech’s field in Danielson. Turn To QUINEBAUG page B3
