find him a special foster home to call his own. Tony has been

through a lot in his 11 years and has been exposed to things kids

should never have to go through- including abuse and neglect.

Since he was in preschool, Tony has lived in 12 different places

and has a hard time keeping them all straight. The group home he

was living in just closed down and he was forced to move again.

He desperately needs a family who will stand by him and help

him work through his troubled past. He is a bright kid who loves

building things and would do best in a home without younger

kids. The next home Tony lives in needs to be committed, loving,

and stable. Could your home be Lucky Number 13 for Tony?

BY BENJAMIN R. KIPPSPORTS CORRESPONDENT

UNCASVILLE — The Woodstock AcademyCentaurs didn’t take Trinity Catholic lightlyduring their Connecticut InterscholasticAthletic Conference Class L championshipgame on March 16 at Mohegan Sun Arena.

The Crusaders may be one of the state’s topClass L basketball schools — having wonseven previous state championships — butthe boys from Woodstock out-hustled, out-shot, out-rebounded and flat-out wanted towin more than Trinity Catholic. Winning 52-49, the Centaurs brought home their firstever boys’ basketball championship.

“They believed from day one,” WoodstockAcademy Head Coach Greg Smith said. “Westarted talking about hanging a banner in theWoodstock Academy Field House, and wedid. To win with these guys is an unbeliev-able feeling — it’s awesome.”

Centaurs senior forward Ian Converse fin-ished the game as the team’s only player indouble figures, netting a game-high 23 pointswhile grabbing 11 rebounds for a well-earneddouble-double.

“Nobody thought as the second seed we’dcome this far, but our coach told us that theonly way to change that was to win,” saidConverse after defeating the top-rankedCrusaders. “This is so much bigger, it’s thewhole state. As soon as we ran on the courtwe started pretty strong and we got used toplaying, it was just another game. We’re ateam, no one is a star or anything — we’re allfriends and teammates.”

Converse scored his first points of theafternoon by taking a Chris Lowry pass onthe fast break to the rim for a dunk giving themostly Woodstock crowd something to cheerfor after an early 6-0 first quarter lead. By theend of the first the Centaurs were ahead 16-7,their largest of the contest.

Woodstock used their size near the basketto keep the Crusaders off the glass and toscore. The Centaurs finished the game with26 points inside, while out-rebounding theircounterparts 41-33. Woodstock also finished

shooting four-of-nine from 3-point range,while Trinity put up 29 3-pointers but onlymade eight.

“They played hard and their big kid was asgood as advertised, their shooting guard wasgood and the ball handler was as good asadvertised,” said Trinity Catholic HeadCoach Mike Walsh. “We tried going in a cou-ple of times, but we couldn’t get anything

going, and we live and die by the 3-pointer.”The Crusaders didn’t go away easily.

Tremaine Frasier had an 11-point secondquarter hitting three 3-pointers in whatlooked like a run-away frame after outscor-ing the Centaurs 15-6 in the first seven min-

utes.But Trent Peters came off the bench for his

only points on the afternoon hitting a 3-ballto push the Centaurs’ lead up to 25-22.

Crusaders guard Schadrac Casimir fol-lowed with a layup to give Trinity Catholic itsonly lead at 27-25.

Lowry then put an exclamation point onthe half by hitting a 3-pointer just before thehalftime buzzer to take a 28-27 lead into thelocker room.

“I don’t think they knew who we were,”said Lowry. “So we came in here and got offto a good start and really worked hard to gethere and it paid off for us.”

Lowry only scored five points, but becauseof his ball handling ability the Crusaders’second half pressure couldn’t seem to stophis ability to distribute the ball. Lowry fin-ished with 11 assists, which in this case wasjust as good as scoring.

“I wanted to try and get everyone involvedin the beginning,” he said. “I knew that if wewere going to win we needed to get the ball toIan and Sully [Sullivan Gardner]. I didn’tlook to score much, I knew I needed to handlethe ball well.”

Tristan Welch’s two 3-pointers also helpedWoodstock. His first gave the Centaurs a 33-29lead in the third quarter, and his second with3:20 left pushed the lead to 49-43. Woodstockthen grabbed the rest of their points from thefree throw line, going 3-of-9 in the last 2:45.

The Crusaders cut the deficit down to 50-49,but Converse once again stepped up by hit-ting two free throws with 5.7 seconds left.After a Walsh time out, Casimir put up a 3-pointer that hit the front of the rim whileGardner gobbled up the rebound to securethe win.

“It’s unbelievable, my feet haven’t touchedyet,” said Smith. “We just found a way to getit done. We took control and they did whatev-er it takes, I’m just so proud of our kids.”

John McGinn finished with five points,Gardner had eight points and 14 rebounds,and Welch scored eight points for the statechampions.

However, on Saturday, March 16, that colorscheme was replaced with large patches of blue and gold, as Woodstock Academy students woretheir school’s colors proudly, while some even used the occasion to dress up in costumes andface paint, and show the opponent just how loud and enthusiastic Centaur Nation can be.Special thanks to Hayden Budd and Keri Hustus for submitting some shots from the raucousstudent section!

The shrinking world of manateesI always think of Manatees as love-

able, swimming cows.That’s actually not so odd since they

are known as “sea cows” for theirlarge build and aqua-filled habitats.

They appear gray-brown in colorand have wrinkly, elephant-type skin.These good-natured creatures eat onlyplants, feasting on vegetation like tur-tle grass, mangrove leaves, and vari-ous kinds of algae (Wikipedia).Manatees can weigh 1,500-1,800pounds and measure up to 13 feet inlength. During the winter they live offof Florida’s coast, and will travelnorth in the summer to the Carolinasor west to Louisiana. The Defenders ofWildlife (DOW) note that recentlysome manatees swam as far north asCape Cod. Manatees don’t move thatquickly, swimming 3-5 mph, utilizingtheir front flippers and paddle-typetail (STM). Manatees will play by bar-rel rolling or body surfing. They“talk” to each other by squealing,alerting each other about danger orexpressing fun (DOW).

Sadly, there are fewer than 5,000manatees in existence, and they areon the endangered species list. Themanatees’ reproductive rate is verylow. They do not mature until age 5.Generally, females have only oneyoung after a year’s gestation period.The juveniles nurse for about 2 years,thus relying on their mothers (STM).And the news isn’t getting much bet-ter.

Our friendly water cows are in trou-ble, and it’s not the “wait-and-see”kind of trouble. It’s coming at them inalarming red, and it’s something weneed to pay attention to now! The redtide, fear even in its name, is a naturalalgae bloom. The algae (Karenia bre-vis) releases minuscule toxins that

adhere to the plants the manateesfeast on. These pollutants find theirway into the sea cow’s nervous systemvia the vegetation causing paralysis.Manatees come to the surface every 2-4 minutes to breathe. Once paralyzed,they can no longer make their way tothe top of the waterway for their nec-essary air, and thus, drown (CBS).

Manatees are no strangers to dan-ger. While swimming, manatees mustbe sure to dart out of the way ofmotorboat propellers, which can cutthem up pretty badly. Sadly, whizzingboats have chopped some manatees inhalf, resulting in death. The sprawl ofhuman development has also causedstress to the manatees’ natural habi-tat.

The Save the Manatee non-profitgroup (STM) reports that at least “174manatees in southwest Florida havealready died from red tide exposure in2013, and an additional 33 manateesdied from this cause in 2012.” The“danger zone,” off the coast ofFlorida, runs about 75 miles fromSarasota down to Ft. Myers (CBS).According to CNN, the red tide, oftenreferred to as the Florida red tide, hasbeen occurring for quite a while.Records indicate that these algaeblooms cropped up in the 1700s in theSouthern Gulf, and later in the 1840sall along Florida’s Gulf coast.

Unfortunately, the red tides are nowoccurring more frequently and last-ing for longer periods of time.

Luckily, if the sick manatees arerescued soon enough, scientists cansave them. Recently, 10 distressedmanatees were rescued from the redtide zone and were brought toTampa’s Lowery Park Zoo. The first 24hours are crucial! Virginia Edmonds,the director of animal care at thisFlorida park, says “The animals we’vegotten in are incapacitated…. They’resort of comatose. We have to holdtheir heads up and they can’t take abreath on their own so we’ll spendtime with them, if it’s 24 or 48 hours,just keeping an eye on them so thatthey don’t drown over night” (CBS).Fortunately, four of these manateesrecovered and were freed into a refugearea far from the red tide regions.

Unexpectedly, this type of algaebloom is not the kind that is createdby polluted waters (CNN). Red tidesare somewhat dispelled by heavyrains and wind (CBS). We can onlyhope that this fierce red tide regiondisperses soon.

You can learn more about how tohelp the manatees via the Save theManatee Website(http://www.savethemanatee.org/).You may donate to the cause, sharethe information on social networkingsites, or “adopt” your own manatee.Let’s do our best to help our nation’sfriendly manatees!

MEETINGS


I love restaurants.Whether it is a five star

extravaganza in a nearby cityor a simple local eatery, I amdelighted to be seated, hand-ed a menu and given amoment or two to reflect onthe myriad choices before me.Because my husband is acommitted “foodie” we visitrestaurants the way touristsgo to scenic attractions. Weboth cook many meals athome and welcome dinnerparty invitations, but eating

out is oftenour idea offun.

Over time,however, Iam begin-ning tonotice thatthe entireprocess isbeginning tofray a bit atthe edges.I’m sensitive

to individual food prefer-ences. As a child, I loathedthe once-a-month dish ofliver with bacon and onionsmy mother served. Shethought it gave us a dose ofiron. I thought it was best fedto my fox terrier, which spentevery meal beneath my feetwaiting for whatever morselfell his way. The poor dogbecame so fat he looked like apiglet.

As an adult, I don’t orderliver and bacon nor do Ichoose another family staple,finnan haddie, a smoked had-dock dish served swimmingin butter. The fish tastes quitegood, but the smell can be off-putting to people unacquaint-ed with it. It’s not as strong atGarrison Keillor’s famed lute-fisk, but it is pungent. The oldRitz in Boston had it on thebreakfast menu, but both thehotel and the haddock havebeen replaced by newer ver-sions.

I like food that looks appeal-ing and stretches my palate.My mother died when I was15 and I learned to cook sothat my father and I didn’ttake every evening meal atEddie’s, a restaurant near thetracks in Dayville. My cook-ing was less greasy, if a bitbland, and we survived quitewell. I fried things. I boiledthings and eventually evengrilled them.

The experience of orderingin a restaurant today hasbeen completely transformedby endless conversationabout what one can, cannot,or will absolutely drop deadfrom eating. It is quite amaz-ing, but certainly true.

I went to Africa with afriend who is deathly allergicto onions and garlic. Even alittle trace on a knife or cut-ting board can send her intodanger. Far from medicalhelp, she questioned everyserver at the lodges where westayed about the food and itspreparation. Despite somelanguage barriers, she wasable to make her point andeat fairly well.

We often dine with peoplewho are either lactose orgluten intolerant or both. Myhusband is allergic to agedcheese, but not fresh. A friendcannot ever touch certainshellfish. Once at dinner awoman told me that eatingbeets made her violent.Ground nuts, tree nuts andcertifiable nuts cause reac-tions no one wants to have orwitness. Where will it end?

Today’s chefs or short-order cooks need to createdishes that can be consumedby people with a variety ofallergies as well as makemeals from locally grown,organic, natural, or, here’sone I really love, locally for-aged food. Better cut down ontrans-fats, add omega threefatty acids and keep the calo-rie count low while they areat it. Make sure the serverhas a degree in nutrition, too,to answer a wealth of ques-tions.

At a restaurant one chillymorning, I watched as mydining companion ordereddecaf coffee, dry toast, anorganic egg with no runnyyolk and a side of gluten-freegranola, no milk. Make myfinnan haddie, I said tomyself, while opting for thecorned beef hash.

To the Editor:Here’s a little more info for the man who asked for

it a few weeks ago.In 2009, 742 people renounced their citizenship. In

2010, 1,534; in 2011, 1,781; and 2012, 1,788.I can’t see anyone but wealthy people doing this,

or even being able to afford to, so 5,845 people haveleft the country since Obama. All the articles I gotthis info from stated it was due to over taxation.Time and Reuters listed this.

And back to green energy companies that got taxdollars and went bust — I didn’t list them all —there are more than 50 and counting. Not surpris-ingly, 80 percent donated to the president. Howmany new refineries could have been built, dams,better coal burning power plants, safer drill rigs,etc.?

The sequester has come and gone without earth-quakes, tidal waves, locusts or brain eating zom-bies. First, it was Obama’s idea, then it wasn’t.Then, well, maybe it was, or not … guess we shouldjust pass it so we can see what’s in it, or shoot a dou-ble barreled shot gun off the back porch to scare itaway, or think it over while playing golf with TigerWoods.

I’ve never listened to Rush. He is too right wingfor me. I didn’t think Bush was all that great. Hespent too much — $4 trillion in eight years — butObama is out of control, almost $7 trillion in 4 1/2years is insane. We will never be able to pay it backeven with the higher taxes on the evil 1 percent thatturned out to actually be a 70 percent tax on regularAmericans, not just the rich.

If, as an anonymous reader stated, Reagan shutdown the mental health institutes, that was foolish.Now, Mansfield Training School sits empty and weneed to reopen it for people like Adam Lanza, whowould hurt themselves or others. A gun in safehands is a tool, only in the hands of someone who isunstable are they used for bad.

If we don’t start using our brains a little over thedeficit we should start teaching Chinese in ourschools so our next generation can cope with anoccupation, and I’m sure the Chinese will exploitthe resources we want — coal, oil, natural gas —these things could pay off the debt if we were smartenough to use them.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Lee: Green energy, the sequester and the deficit

To the Editor:Congratulations to last week’s Sound Off writer

who took the trouble to speak for the here-to-forsilent majority who find the letters column of theVillager tiresome and extreme, consisting as itdoes, of the same three tired and often factuallyincorrect whiners.

The writer’s correction of facts could have goneon for pages as the right wing screeds rarely touchthe same planet earth occupied by the rest of us.

I would normally be put off by the anonymity ofthe writer, but in this case, I can sympathizebecause the degree of hatred expressed by theusual writers does suggest the possibility of auto-matic weapons and large clips. I congratulate thewriter for doing what I have intended to do for solong and simply not bothered.

TIM MCNALLYPOMFRET

To the Editor:Is this the same administration that calculated

that the stimulus created 4 million jobs that no onecould find and Obamacare would reduce the cost ofinsurance when the opposite occurred?

The White House gave $182 billion for the AIGbailout, $532 million to Solyndra, and on and on,and now Obama can’t come up with $85 billion incuts. The impending doom and gloom this adminis-tration forecasts every time they don’t get theirway would be comical if it weren’t for the fact thatthis guy is supposed to be our “leader.”

One month ago he signed the bill for budget cutsand what is more sickening is the cuts amount to2.5 percent to 3 percent of the total governmentbudget. If they cannot cut 3 percent from the budg-et, they don’t deserve to be in the positions they areand that includes out leaderless and campaignmode President. If we paid federal employees at theprivate sector employees ranges for like jobs, thatwould save the sequester budget $35 billion annual-ly. If we cut foreign aid in half, that would saveanother $20 billion. Both would represent more dol-lars than the sequestered budget cuts in 2013.

What about the impact on the out-of-control wel-fare giveaways, government waste and billions

spent on illegals? In addition, allowing 11 millionillegals to becoming citizens would mean that theywould bring their families to our country, whichwould be estimated at 40 million immigrants, andhow many would go on the welfare roles once here?These illegals that are here and would be here, areand would be sending money they earn here backto their families in other countries. So overall, wegain more national debt.

Enough of political posturing Mr. President —start showing some responsibility in running ourcountry. This was your idea and nobody else’s. Thisis the Obama we know who can’t lead, can’t followthe Constitution and battle against America. Theyare cheering in Iran, North Korea, China, Pakistan,Cuba, Venezuela and those countries that harborour enemies. We can’t wait, our borders are over-flowing with more immigrants as they have neverbefore and will continue if illegals are given citi-zenship. So go ahead Mr. President and take anoth-er vacation or play another round of golf withTiger or another $7 million dollar trip to Hawaii —it’s the same old story for the last four years.

‘The same old story’

The diningexperience

Bleedingblue and

gold

Ijust can’t kick this streak of nostalgia I’vebeen going through for the past fewweeks.Perhaps as I approach 30 years old in a

few months, I’m getting sentimental at my“old” age. Say it ain’t so!

My latest “blast from the past” momentcame last weekend, as my alma mater,Woodstock Academy, conquered the highschool basketball world and won their first-

ever Connecticut state title inboys’ basketball.

I’m not going to lie — Iflipped through my dustyyearbook the next day, whichhasn’t been opened in a fewyears now. It was starting toget comfortable in its spot inthe bookcase next to mybrother’s old 2003 version.

It’s now almost 12 yearssince I graduated fromWoodstock Academy, and thefaces I came upon in my oldyearbook bring me back tothe hallways and grounds ofthe school as if I’ve never

left.As a member of the Class of 2001, I had the

honor of being a part of the 200th graduatingclass at the school — the “Bicentennial Class.”Of course, being an eventual journalist, I wasin the Yearbook Club and had a part in design-ing the yearbook itself, which, looking backon it, was a nice little introduction to theworld of publication design. Much haschanged since then in the world of technology,but I remember learning much in that club.Little did I know that nine years after leaving,I would be the editor of the town’s local news-paper.

It’s funny how life works out sometimes.Of course, as I sat in my home office last

weekend and flipped through the “WoodstockAcademy Spire, Bicentennial Edition,” Iglanced pictures of my old classmates and Iwondered what they are up to. Some I am stillin touch with, some I am only in touch withevery now and then on Facebook — but sadly,I have lost touch with many of them, eventhough I have stayed local (which seems likean odd paradox, when I stop to think about it).Even some of my best high school friends Ihave lost touch with. I guess that’s life. It has away of filling your time and taking you off onroads you never thought you’d travel, and astime goes on, it gets easier to forget where youcame from.

Looking at my old senior photo page, therewere so many inside jokes I wrote as a nod tomy friends, I’m having trouble rememberinghow most of them came into existence. Someof them (most of which are way too silly toeven justify putting in print!) still bring asmile and a giggle, but some leave me scratch-ing my head with their randomness.

Fast forward back to last weekend, and allthose high school memories came floodingback vicariously through the success of myCentaurs. Pictures starting flowing in of theteam and their coach, Greg Smith, celebratingtheir success, and I was transported back toHistory II in the Bowen building, as a slightlyyounger looking Smith taught me history as asophomore — his outgoing style, casual, con-versational tone and complete grasp of thesubject matter catching me off guard, as wellas his legendary stories.

If you are reading this and ever had Mr.Smith as a teacher, I’m sure many of you canagree with me when I say his class was one ofthe more memorable I’ve ever had.

So when I saw photos and video of Smith(who still teaches history at the school, by theway) holding that trophy high with his teamlast weekend, I couldn’t help but feel proud ofmy old stomping ground, and of my formerteacher. If someone decided to cut me open atthat moment, I’m pretty sure I would havebled blue and gold.

So, Mr. Smith, if you are reading this, let mejoin in with the rest of Centaur Nation in con-gratulating you and the team for a job welldone. I couldn’t be a prouder to be a Centaur.

And Mr. Smith — yes, I still remember (mostof) the stories you told us in that classroom.Don’t worry — I won’t print them!

Congratulations for calling out ‘factually incorrect whiners’

‘The checkbook needs to be taken from the politicians’To the Editor:Detroit, Mich., is near or at bankruptcy because

of its long term Democratically controlled adminis-tration’s borrowing to balance its budget.

The entitlement spending flourished and the cityis now in financial ruin.

Connecticut is not far from the same reality forthe same reason, borrowing instead of matchingspending to revenues. Here is what is recommendedby one consultant:

James McTevia, president of a Michigan-based

firm that specializes in turnaround management,said an emergency manager could halt the city’sborrowing, freeze debt and restructure finances,including voiding contracts.

“The checkbook needs to be taken from the politi-cians,” he said.

Truer words were never spoken. If it works inDetroit, I think maybe we should do it here inConnecticut.

HAROLD REEVESDANIELSON

Look inward, stop blaming the customersTo the Editor:The clichés to describe Woodstock Academy’s

reaction to the “Brooklyn high schoolers ditchingWoodstock Academy” article on Feb. 3 [in a localnewspaper] are plentiful.

“Circling the wagons” and “mobilizing thetroops” are good ones. My favorite, “the best defenseis a good offense,” is the most appropriate.

Since the article was published, the Academy hasscourged the two Brooklyn Board of Education rep-resentatives; has demanded apologies to the staff;has recruited Brooklyn students to support theschool; and the teacher’s association has intention-ally identified themselves as victims to publicly callfor resignations. Further, Headmaster Kim Caronhas peddled a 900-word marketing narrative as com-mentary to defend the school.

The article itself was superficial and could havebeen better investigated. But the sensational head-line and inaccurate attributions have contributed tostrained relations between the groups. DespiteBrooklyn’s efforts to clarify comments with boththe Woodstock Academy administration and Boardof Trustee members, the blitz against the Brooklynrepresentatives continues.

Is the collective response by Woodstock Academyjust damage control? Perhaps. Does any of itaddress the root concerns expressed by theBrooklyn representatives? No. The article clearlytouched a nerve and the scope and breadth of theresponse is quite the over-reaction.

Should Woodstock Academy be concerned aboutdeclining enrollment? Absolutely. The revenue gen-

erated by tuition students is a critical component tosupporting the operations of the Academy. Butrather than turn their focus inward to assess howbest to retain students, the Academy has insteadelected to disparage their customers who purchaseschool space and the headmaster has diminishedexiting students as being unable to withstand the“academic rigor” of Woodstock Academy.

Instead of continuing to position itself as anupper echelon, high performing institution, per-haps the Academy should expend a little energyand humility of their own to find and correct theirshortcomings and blind spots.

Notwithstanding the “piling on” that has contin-ued in various forums, the two Brooklyn Board ofEducation members (one of whom is my wife) con-tinue to serve on both boards to improve education-al opportunities for Brooklyn students andWoodstock Academy.

I write not to defend my wife from criticism but toexpress my own dissatisfaction with the Academyand their lack of focus on the things they do not dowell. Declining enrollments are happening every-where but I believe it is also symptomatic of cultur-al and functional issues at Woodstock Academy.

My hope is that the same vigor and attention thatwas employed in their public responses can be usedto correct the weaknesses that a school of “academ-ic excellence” should not have.

HOW THEY GOT THERECentaurs work OT to defeat Bunnell, advance to state title game

BY BENJAMIN R. KIPPSPORTS CORRESPONDENT

NORWICH — Bunnell centerIsaac Vann drove past fourWoodstock Academy defenders enroute to a one-handed slam dunk onthe game’s first play, giving theBulldogs a 2-0 lead and delivering ahuge opening statement.

The Centaurs probably didn’texpect Vann to drive to the basketlike that, but once again, Woodstockcollected themselves and advancedto the Connecticut InterscholasticAthletic Conference Class L finalafter needing overtime to take careof business and beating Bunnell, 65-60, on March 13.

The second seeded Centaurs (22-2)advanced to the championship gameagainst top ranked Trinity Catholic(23-1), while No. 3 Bunnell finished21-3.

Woodstock forward Ian Converseonce again led the way with anotherplayoff double-double, scoring 28points and pulling down 13rebounds.

“I can’t put words to it, I’m on topof the world right now,” saidConverse. “It feels amazing and Ican’t believe it’s happening to me asa senior, it’s an amazing feeling. Ididn’t want the season to end.”

Sullivan Gardner also played the

game of his life, grabbing eightrebounds and scoring 19 points — 13coming in the second half.

“I decided that today was the dayto get as many offensive and defen-sive rebounds as I could,” he said. “Iknew they were going to have someheight down low and could jump, Ijust needed to put a body on themand it worked. I got the reboundsand I didn’t let go.”

Down 5-0 in the firsts few minutesof the game, the Centaurs finally gotthe lead with a Converse hook shotto make it 6-5. The Bulldogs playedcatch up the rest of the game untilthe final few minutes of the fourthquarter.

Bunnell erased a 48-41 deficit byfinishing the quarter on a 9-2 run.Vann got in foul trouble early, whichcaught up to him later in the gamewhen he fouled out late in the fourthquarter. With Vann on the bench, themiddle of the court was wide opento both Converse and Gardner. ButMatt Nolting hit two 3-pointers inthe last 1:26 to tie the score 52-52 andsend it into overtime.

The Centaurs, now in their secondconsecutive playoff overtime game,put the pedal to the floor and startedthe extra session on a 10-4 run.Converse scored six points in theframe and Chris Lowry grabbed

four points. Lowry’s free throwswith 1:30 left in the contest gaveWoodstock a 62-56 advantage.

“It’s a great feeling to get intoMohegan Sun and play anothergreat team,” said Gardner. “I can’t

wait to see what we can really do.”Woodstock head coach Greg

Smith is just rolling with the suc-cess.

“It’s an amazing feeling,” he said.“What a team performance, we said

pound the ball inside and let our bigguys do the work. We got Vann infoul trouble early and it worked forus in the latter stages of the gamewhen he fouled out. We knew whathe could do, but we were a team.”

PAWS seeking foster homesWOODSTOCK — Kitten season is upon us and

PAWS is getting lots of calls about stray and aban-doned kittens, mother cats with babies and preg-nant cats.

Often, there’s just no room for them at the poundor shelter so they need a temporary safe, warmplace to go — and that’s where we need your help!

They don’t need much, just a quiet place, a littlecorner of your home, where they can be out of thecold and rain, away from the ever increasing popu-lation of predators like foxes and coyotes, withgood food, warmth and a little bit of tender lovingcare.

We provide everything that’s needed — food, lit-ter, all necessary supplies, medicine, vet care, etc.All we need is you! If you have older children, thisis a great opportunity to teach them about animals— it’s a wonderful experience for them to see kit-tens being born or how a mother cat feeds, washes

and cares for her babies.When the kittens are old enough to be on their

own we find the best possible forever homes forboth the kittens and their moms, so it’s not a longterm commitment, usually just a few weeks andrarely a few months.

If you can provide a temporary home for theselittle ones who, through no fault of their own, findthemselves in these circumstances, you will bedoing a small thing that will make all the differ-ence in the world for them. Your help will certain-ly go a long way and, most importantly, give theseanimals a chance at a life they might not otherwisehave.

If you are interested and/or need more informa-tion, please e-mail [email protected] or call Lydiaat 860-480-1104. You can also stop by the shelternext to Windy Acres Florist at 244 Route 171 inWoodstock to meet some of the cats and kittensand talk to us about fostering.

A NIGHT TO REMEMBERChampionship game a night to remember for Centaur Nation


WOODSTOCK — The Woodstock AcademyCentaurs began the year with a strong start,lost only three times (two of those in overtime),and won when it mattered most. For alumni,last weekend was a blast from the past. For par-ents, teachers and faculty, it was a proudmoment looking at their students and childrensucceeding on the court. No matter who youwere, it was a night to remember in Uncasville,as Woodstock took home its first-ever statechampionship — the first, hopefully, of manymore to come. From all of us here at theVillager, congratulations to the Centaurs!

How eager would yoube to respond to such anad? Who is interested in acar that does not have thepower to transport them? What is the purposeof a car if it cannot be driven?

Similar questions may be asked concern-ing ones faith. What is the purpose of faith ifit has no power? The Bible predicted that atime would come that people would call them-selves Christians but would deny the powerthat was demonstrated in the first centurychurch. (2 Timothy 3:1-5) Has that time come?You decide.

There are several components ofChristianity that are regularly associatedwith power in the Bible, namely:

• The name of Jesus — it is the “nameabove every name” and the name spoken overthose who were baptized in the book of Acts.

• Divine Healing — Jesus promised thatbelievers would pray for the sick and theywould recover.

• The Holy Spirit — Jesus promised his dis-ciples that they would receive power after theHoly Ghost was come upon them; this hap-pened first in Acts chapter two and later inActs 8, 9, 10 and 19.

Jesus established a church of power. Heintended for people to have life-changingexperiences as Christians impacted theirworld. You can read about it in the book of

Acts. Church services weredynamic, miracles wereprevalent, people werereceiving the Holy Spirit,and Jesus name was highlyexalted. Early Christianswere so empowered thatthey became a world forcein spite of severe persecu-tion.

If I were the devil I woulddo my best to talkChristians out of their

power. I would not be all that concerned ifthey called themselves Christians or attendedchurch, as long as they dumbed things downas far as the power is concerned. I would conthem into believing that miracles no longerhappen. I would encourage them to be bap-tized, but not to worry about doing it in Jesusname. I would tell them that people no longreceive the Holy Spirit or speak with “othertongues.” I would convince them thatChristianity should be simply a matter ofsaying they believe without expecting life-altering encounters with God. In short Iwould get them to include everything but theengine. That way they could sit in their drive-way listening to the radio or flipping theirlights on and off, but they could never reallygo anywhere.

I don’t know about you, but I need thatApostolic book-of-Acts kind of power. I needan engine in my automobile.

Bishop John W. Hanson is the pastor of ActsII Ministries in Thompson, where they stillexpect church to be as powerful as it was in thefirst century. For more information please visitwww.ActsII.org.
