  • September 25, 2020 Good Afternoon High School Students and Families, CIAC Fall Sports Competition Will Open This Week. Throughou
    September 25, 2020 Good Afternoon High School Students and Families, CIAC fall sports competition will open this week. Throughout the summer and into the fall, administrators from the region have collaborated to share best practices and ideas to continue to offer outstanding high school programming. Administrators from Avon, Farmington, Simsbury and West Hartford continue to meet regularly to promote high level academic and extracurricular programming. Considerable time was spent vetting safe and adaptive solutions that would allow our students to engage in interscholastic activities with spectators while also adhering to public health guidelines and complying with Governor Lamont’s Executive Orders. The remainder of this letter will outline our approach to having spectators attend athletic events within the region this fall. Our collective approach to interscholastic athletics competitions this fall has been reviewed by members of Central Connecticut Conference, local health districts, and officials at the CIAC. With that in mind the linked document (each school has provided its own in their letter) outlines our approach to events ​ with spectators this fall. Please note that, overall, our plans are consistent, however each school has ​ determined its own guidelines based upon unique factors including the facilities and numbers of athletes participating. It is important to understand that limitations to fans in attendance have been made to ​ ensure the health and safety of our students and community members. Inability to follow the above referenced guidelines could result in potential cancellations or forfeits from competitions. Additionally, athletic directors have informed us that groups of referees/officials may be unwilling to participate in the scheduled competitions if specific spectator guidelines are not followed.

    Simsbury High School Strength & Conditioning Room Upgrade Proposal Project Design Date: January 2014 Project Completion Date Goal: June 1, 2014 Project Lead: Evan Gross [email protected] Project Participants and Backers: Simsbury Gridiron Club Simsbury Athletic Department Simsbury Physical Education Department 1 Simsbury Gridiron Club PO Box 324, Simsbury, CT 06070 www.simsburygridiron.org “The achievements of an organization are the results of the combined effort of each individual”, V. Lombardi. Dear Friends, Patrons, and Families, The fall sports seasons have come to a conclusion, but the hard work continues for Simsbury High School student-athletes and coaches. Year round conditioning, so important for a successful season in any sport, is in full swing. As supporters of Simsbury athletics, our attention is focused on this area. We are writing to ask for your support for a Special Capital Project designed to upgrade and equip the existing strength and fitness area at Simsbury High School. The current weight racks, furnished and funded by Simsbury Gridiron over 10 years ago, are worn out, bent, and generally insufficient for the needs of a successful athletics program. An updated strength facility is an essential component of personal improvement, team-building and pride for all student athletes. This unique effort is being undertaken with the full knowledge and cooperation of Athletic Director Dane Street and the Physical Education staff. The Simsbury Gridiron Club, in a partnership with Simsbury High School and the Simsbury High School Athletic Department, has set an ambitious, but reasonable fund raising goal of $35,000. This amount will ensure that our student-athletes have the strength and fitness training equipment needed for success in their various sports.

    SEE THAT WOMAN WALK THE STREET A Novel by Edward McInnis ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Special thanks to Lynda Connolly for her invaluable assistance in preparing this book. Website, book conversion & publication by Kendrick * * * "You see that woman who walks the street. You see that police on his beat. But when the Lord gets ready, You gotta move." "You Gotta Move" by Mississippi Fred McDowell as sung by The Rolling Stones CHAPTER 1 "I'm dead," the white guy said, walking into my office. The guitar I had been strumming I propped against the wall. "Who put out the contract on you?" I asked. "Mafia?" "No contract. I'm already dead." "Practical joke, right? Who put you up to it? Phoenix Chan? Had to be." "No joke," the guy frowned. "I'm dead. Simple." "My condolences," I said. "Sorry I missed the funeral." "I'm serious. I'm dead. And I want to hire you to find out who killed me." CHAPTER 2 The guy already looked half-dead. Tall, pale, stick-thin, haggard, hollow-eyed, unshaven, disheveled hair, voice a hoarse croak, deep sorrow stamped into his features. Thirty-five or forty. Wearing only torn blue t-shirt and shabby blue jeans and sneakers. "Why do you believe someone killed you?" I asked. "I'm dead, aren't I?" the guy said, indignantly. He was serious. "What's your name?" I asked. "Not sure." "You must be hungry. Let's get a bite. Like Chinese food?" "I never eat," he said. "What's the point? I'm dead." "Have to ask. What makes you think you're dead? You're walking and talking.
