DANIELSON — Despite overcast weather and a chance for rain, the Danielson campus of Quinebaug Valley Community College was filled with activity on Saturday, March 29, as it hosted the Regional Community YMCA Healthy Kids Day. The event put a focus on healthy living options to edu- cate children in how to be happy, healthy and active in their everyday lives. Vendors presented information on the environment, healthy eating and living drug free while activities allowed youngsters to experience martial arts demonstrations, hula hoping and safe bike riding practices. The turnout was spectacular as a 50-degree day allowed for a comfortable and welcoming escape from the house for both children and parents to start their weekend.

Visitors got to sample healthy food options from local eateries and learn about healthy eating habits throughout the day. Putnam Police Officer Brian Castle was accompa- nied by his canine partner Ammo as they mingled with the crowd at the event. Officer Castle and Ammo graduated from the State Police Training Academy mere months ago and took the opportu- nity to meet with locals and introduce children to the canine officer.

YMCA Camp Woodstock had a display on hand to introduce parents and children to the cap and its many activities.

Hula hooping allowed children to get active in a fun way near the end of the day.

Anthony Genna, of Brooklyn, enjoys the hands on activities at a display by The Last Green Valley.

Abigail Reall, 9, of Sterling, was just one of many who took part in the Connecticut State Police Bike Rodeo, learning how to maneuver and ride a bicycle safely through a series of obstacles in the QVCC parking lot.

Courtesy photos A GOLDEN CELEBRATION Edmond (Ed) Morin and Barbara (Bobbie) Racette were married on April 4, 1964. This year marks their 50th wedding anniversary. The couple first met in high school at a dance hall in Putnam. They never dated but would occasionally run into each other at various high school dances. Ed would always ask Bobbie to dance. After grad- uating from high school Bobbie moved to Worcester, Mass., to study nursing, and Ed moved to Boston to study pre- med. As fate would have it, their paths crossed again two years later when Ed was visiting his grandmother at Memorial Hospital in Worcester. He asked Bobbie out on a date with him that day and proposed to her one year later. She said yes, and they’ve been dancing through life together for the past 50 years. They are adored by their three children, six grandchildren, and extended family. A private celebration was held recently to honor their 50 years of marriage.

POMFRET — Several snow days may have delayed a group of anonymous Pomfret Community School students from delivering their message during Random Acts of Kindness Week Feb. 10-16, but it did not dampen their positive spirit. Although their project was delayed, their message was heard throughout the PCS com- munity. Students created interactive bulletin boards that were placed throughout the school, which asked the question, “PCS… where students, faculty, and families dare to be ______?” Students and staff were given index cards and were asked to express a positive word or message they felt best answered the dare to be question. Students were then able to choose a PCS spirit ribbon created by the group. Hundreds of messages were posted on the boards for several weeks. This random act of kindness followed another group of students who created notes of gratitude and creative artwork that was placed in all faculty mailboxes earlier this year. Pay it forward, PCS!
