Courtesy photo REUNION CELEBRATED POMFRET — The Maher-Nelson families celebrat- ed a reunion at their family homestead in Pomfret on Aug. 3, 2013. Pictured above, in front of the home of Paul and Joy Nelson, are the 103 family members who attended. The homestead has been in the family since 1929 when the family patriarch, John Maher, pur- chased the farm and moved his family of 11 to the house which at that time included twelve dairy cows, two draft horses, 2,000 chickens, an apple orchard and vegetable garden. The house passed from him to his son Jim and then to his grandson Paul Nelson. Throughout the years, the family has reunited here in small and large numbers. The last large reunion was held thirty years ago in 1983. Through the years the Mahers and Nelsons have grown to think of this place as the heart of their family and have often com- mented on the stories the house could tell if “only it could talk.” Family members came from as far away as California for the event. Ages of the participants ranged from seven months to 85 years. After a Mass celebrated by Father Charles Maher at Most Holy Trinity Church, the family enjoyed swimming, games and a bountiful barbequed chicken dinner. The event concluded with the burial of a time cap- sule commemorating the events of this year’s reunion.

Taylor and Hewitt combined for 23 first-half points as Killingly raced to a 29-14 cushion en route to defeating Tourtellotte Memorial 54-47 last Tuesday night at Killingly High. Crabtree’s counterpart on Tourtellotte’s bench is coach Tony Falzarano, who is also the mayor of Putnam. Crabtree works for Putnam’s Recreation Department and Falzarano signs his paycheck. So he won- dered if his win over Falzarano’s Tigers might cost him. “Now that he’s the mayor, when I beat him I’ve got to worry now on Thursday — he signs my check,” Crabtree said. “So I’ve got to wonder if I’m going to have a check now.” Actually the deficit was located in the Tigers scoring column — Tourtellotte went 2-for-15 from the field in the first half Charlie Lentz photos and found itself in an early hole after Tourtellotte coach Tony Falzarano, left, congratulates Killingly coach Jim Taylor tallied 12 points in the first half and Crabtree after the Redmen topped Tourtellotte 54-47.
