THOMPSON — A partnership between Thompson Middle School and the Thompson Historical Society provid- ed parents, students and public visitors with a rare treat this week, as visitors recently saw historical figures come to life at the Thompson Middle School living wax museum in the Tourtellotte Memorial Room. Working with the historical society, Thompson Middle schoolers researched local historical figures by examining the literature and historical documents, but also through interviews with local historians and experts. “Jane Ellison,” said ELA teacher Erica Groh, “actually had Mary R Fisher as a teacher, so it was great to hear her first-hand account of what life was like in the classroom in those days. She had all these little bits of information you can’t find in history books” According to Groh, Superintendent Smith has been very active in the community, and was very excited to see events and lessons around learning about the history of Thompson. “After speaking with Superintendent Smith I talked to the historical Society about the biggest figures in town. The historical society is a wealth of knowledge about those figures,” said Groh. “The historical Society helped us with primary and secondary sources. The students are having a great time, and in addition to being a great educational expe- rience, this was a lot of fun. I think it will be a life-long memory for them It’s a great way to celebrate our town of Thompson,” Groh said. A8 • Friday, June 8, 2018 Villager Newspapers Are you P.O.

Ag Days at Brooklyn Fairgrounds

BROOKLYN — The Brooklyn Fairgrounds were lively last weekend with antique tractor engines, a giant swap meet, working steers, livestock and crafts for Ag Days. And of course, the antique tractor pull. Celebrating agricultural traditions of yesterday, Ag Days has been entertaining families since 2003.

PUTNAM – Thompson resident Alecia Underhill spent a weekend painting hors- es at the Silver Circle Art Gallery, where her artwork is currently on display in downtown Putnam. All of her paintings subject matter are of animals. More specifically domesticated animals. And even more specifically, portraits of domesticated animals. “We have a connection with them that we don’t have with wildlife,” said Underhill. Each of her animal portraits captures the personality of the subject, just as a painter would do with a portrait of a person. A snapshot that doesn’t only capture their likeness, but their personality. “I want people to look at the work and wonder what they’re thinking and feel- ing,” Underhill said.

BY CHARLIE LENTZ VILLAGER EDITOR HEBRON — “One shot at a time. Three deep breaths before every shot.” That was the man- tra Killingly High coach Kevin Marcoux pitched to his golfers before a pressure-packed three- hole playoff to deter- mine the winner at the CIAC Division III State Golf Championships on Monday at Tallwood Country Club. The play- off came on Tallwood’s first three holes. “It’s a lot of pressure. Not only the pressure but it’s a huge mental letdown after we got done playing 18 holes, we were pretty much in the lead the entire round. Mentally we had to get right back on track quick- ly,” Marcoux said. “So we rallied the troops. We got together. The older kids looked at each other, they grabbed the kids in and pulled them in, and they said we’re going to get this done. Let’s go. Let’s get focused. We’ve got three holes, starting from scratch. Let’s go. We were ready to go.” The Redmen apparent- ly were ready — winning the three-hole playoff by two strokes over East Catholic of Manchester at Tallwood on June 4 en route to capturing the state crown. Junior Courtesy photo Nolan Marcoux led Killingly High shows off its state championship plaque Monday at Tallwood Country Club in Hebron.
