BY CHARLIE LENTZ VILLAGER STAFF WRITER WOODSTOCK — Not many newly minted high school graduates have secured lifetime employment, but Zach Tarryk has already corralled his future — all 10 of them. Tarryk is a dairy farm- er who owns 10 Jersey cows with the family business — Chestnut-Hyll Farm in Dayville. His Jerseys are much more than a business — they’re his life. “They’re like my kids,” Tarryk said. “I’m only 18 but it’s like I have kids.” Perhaps most 18-year-olds aren’t ready to map out their careers, but Tarryk has assumed a lot more respon- sibility than your average Killingly High School graduate. “I own all the cows. I pay the bills. I clean up after them,” Tarryk said. “I do the work. I work a lot.” He also earns extra money work- ing for Fairholm Farm in Woodstock. Tarryk grew up on the farm and wanted to raise Jerseys for as long as he can remember. He showed several of his Chestnut-Hyll Jerseys at the Woodstock Fair over Labor Day weekend and it’s obvious he has an affinity for his ani- mals — cajoling them as easily as a family pet. “I’ve been doing this since I was little. My parents showed cows. We’ve always Charlie Lentz photo had a farm,” Tarryk said. “I kind of Zach Tarryk and his Jersey cow, 3-year-old Lucy. grew up into it.” As a toddler he wandered among the how old they are,” Tarryk said. “I love coming to the fair and having them.

Camp director Jason Howard, M.Ed, said, “Our goal is to introduce children ages 5-12 to as many new experiences as possi- ble. We offer sports instruction in the mornings, ranging from lacrosse to golfing to bicycle safety, with help from the CT State Police, and the afternoons are filled with a lot of fun.” This summer, Camp Northwood pro- vided swim lessons at the town beach, equestrian week at Woodstock Acres, castle building with Sandtasia, hikes and blueberry picking after the children made their own baskets, and of course, the ice cream truck. Their final day con- cluded with a bang — a giant water slide, dunk tank and cookout. Good times were had by all and captured by local photogra- pher Brenda Orlowski from Cherry Lane Photography.

BY CHARLIE LENTZ VILLAGER SPORTS EDITOR DANIELSON — While the Ellis Tech soccer team lost two of its top players to gradua- tion — goalkeeper Matt Snay and defensive center mid- fielder Kyle Watson — the Golden Eagles return several key performers who helped the team put together a sev- en-game winning streak last season. Co-coach Drew Mizak hopes Ellis Tech can keep the momentum it built during its second-half surge. Mizak and Matt Papuga share coaching duties for Ellis Tech. “We sent off a couple seniors and it’s always tough to lose their leadership. The good news is it seems to be in waves, we have three or four really consistent solid players at each grade level,” Mizak said. “So while we did lose some excellent players last year we have three or four individuals, seniors that are stepping right now and filling that void.” Among the key returnees is senior center midfielder Jervan Fontaine. “(Fontaine) is such a pres- ence offensively. I thought he was in incredible shape last year now he’s come into this season even taller and in bet- ter shape,” Mizak said. “He’s one of those rare athletes in our league that you don’t see a whole heck of a lot. His soccer skills are where they were last year if not better. He’s going to Charlie Lentz photo be playing that center-mid posi- tion.
