BY OLIVIA BRAATEN VILLAGER CORRESPONDENT THOMPSON — More than 1,200 pieces of student art adorned the hallway walls at Mary R. Fisher Elementary School Friday, May 29. The school’s annual art show fea- tured paintings and sketches of every stu- dent in pre-kindergarten through grade four. Art teacher Denise Yell organized the two- hour evening event, held in conjunction with the middle school ice cream social. “I jumped in at the deep end,” said Yell, who began serving as a long-term substitute for the school in October. By December, students began preparing for their school-wide debut.

Working with six volunteers, she spent several hours of Friday hanging the collages — finishing just minutes before doors opened. “I think it’s fantastic.

Principal Noveline Beltram commended Yell and fellow organizers for making the night possible. “It’s good for the community; it’s good for families; it gets everyone out,” Beltram said. Yell was particularly pleased to see the impact the project, and art as a whole, had on the students. “It improves the way kids see things — how they look at the world and each other,” Kindergarten students she noted. “It helps them to see what’s really made a flower out of a there, not what they think is there.” coffee filter, markers and construction paper.

So, instead, he turned his own experience and observations into his speech, naming several classmates who were more “organic,” “athlet- ic” or “well-dressed” than himself. “One got the impression we all loved being here, and we did,” Gingras told those gath- ered. “Rural Pomfret, Conn., will always be our safe haven,” he continued. “From what I hear, it’s a big, scary world out there.” Peter Kaplan, former editor of the New York Observer, delivered the commencement address. Kaplan discussed the impact of jour- nalism on American democracy, saying that when citizens seek out and share information “the result is the lifting up of American con- sciousness.” Kaplan encouraged graduates to exercise their own “freedom of the press,” using social networking sites, blogs and other forms of communication for good.

Mercedes Nears Almost Perfection with the All-New 2010 GLK Compact SUV

BY KEITH GRIFFIN

Finally, Mercedes has made an everyday SUV that I can rave about. I could go on for hours about the G wagon, which could probably drive on the moon, but I don’t consider that a daily driver SUV. No, the Mercedes SUV that has left me impressed is the new 2010 GLK 350. It’s the first in the Mercedes lineup that drives like a Mercedes sedan. It’s the Mercedes for the person who wants to combine an SUV with the legendary luxury of the Mercedes sedan. To me, it’s the Mercedes E class you wouldn’t mind getting dirty. Lest anybody accuse me of pla- giarism, I want to include this quotation from the Mercedes press material verbatim because I agree with it so much: “At first glance, the new GLK appears to be a smaller version of the GL, but a closer look reveals a mod- The 2010 GLK sports a distinctive design – something that couldn’t be said about most previous Mercedes SUVs. ern interpretation of the iconic G-Class.
