Volume 19, Number 38 Serving Durham, Middlefield and Rockfall www.TownTimes.com Friday, January 30, 2015
Parents of Coginchaug Re-gional High School hockey players who for the first time this year are able to skate on a regional high school team expressed gratitude for the opportunity.For the five CRHS skaters,
hockey has long been part of their lives.When Kaylie LeMere was
born, one of her grandparents brought hockey skates to the hospital and it didnt take long for her to use them. With a last name like LeMere, you have to play hockey, Kaylies mother Michelle LeMere said.
Kaylie began skating at age two and a half and started hockey at age four. Kaylie con-tinued with hockey growing up, on both boys and girls teams.The CRHS athletes play for
the Lyman Hall Trojans. Ly-man Hall serves as the host team, joined by CRHS and Haddam-Killingworth.George Lemieux, who served
as a spokesperson when the hockey option was being consid-ered, said that Lyman Hall was a good fit for CRHS because of the schools proximity and tradition.George and Erin Lemieuxs
son Zach grew up playing hockey but Erin never thought he would be able to play on a high school team. We thought
that was it for hockey, Erin said.Michelle LeMere had similar
thoughts about Kaylies hockey. I had figured she wouldnt play for a high school team. When she found out about the regional possibility, I was so excited, Michelle said. According to CRHS athletic
director Nick Barbieri, the tim-ing was right to join a regional team. A group of parents were expressing interest and the dis-trict had just received a review of its athletics program from the Connecticut Interscholastic Athletics Conference. Among other things, that report recom-mended both supporting paren-

The Middlefield Board of Selectmen, at its regular meeting on Jan. 20, heard a pro-posal from Green Bank representative Alex Kovtunenko to bring financing for energy sav-ing projects into Middlefield.Green Bank, formerly known as the Clean
Energy Finance and Investment Authority, is a quasi-public financing institutional funded by surcharges on utility bills.
Durhams Public Association of Library Sup-porters has been busy preparing for the 19th an-nual Taste of Durham. The Taste of Durham, called a Community
Party by PALS, will take place Saturday, Feb. 7 from 6:30 to 9 p.m. at the Durham Public Library.

tal involvement and regional teams. Im listening to the par-
ents to get the kids the best opportunity, Barbieri said. Jacob and Josh Martinez
began playing hockey in Flor-ida when they were young and their parents, Hector and Jennifer Martinez were happy to find hockey for their sons after moving to Durham. Like true hockey parents, Hector and Jennifer began driving their sons around Connecti-cut so they could play in Wa-terbury or New Haven. Down in Florida, you have
to travel three or four hours just to play. Our dedication is probably as much as theirs, Hector Martinez said.Jennifer Martinez said that
the Coginchaug students have bonded with the new team and some of the team-mates from different schools hang out outside of hockey. It doesnt matter what school it is. The kids want to play hockey.Tim McDermott, whose
son Tim plays on the team, praised the existing team sup-port from the Lyman and H-K parents and said the CRHS parents have fit in well. The parents log a lot of hours in cars and cold pavilions to-gether across the state.The addition of a sport to
Coginchaugs offerings did not become a budget item because the costs for partic-ipation and travel are borne by the participating families. The school handles the pro-moting and administration.
According to George Le-mieux, parents went in eyes wide open to the pay-to-play arrangement and it ac-tually has a team benefit. When you have to pay to play, theres a certain level of commitment required.That commitment is re-
flected in the cost, approxi-mately $1,500 per player, and the 5:30 a.m. practices.Barbieri points out that the
regional arrangement also provides an opportunity to practice good sportsmanship, as hockey partner H-K is a ri-val in other sports.All the boys have been
great, said Michelle LeMere, whose daughter is one of two girls playing for the 21-mem-ber team.She loves playing hockey
with boys because it elevates her game, Michelle said.Hockey is not without risks
and the CRHS parents are aware of the national focus on head injuries in sports. Kaylie has suffered two
concussions and a separated shoulder. Its concerning, but its what she loves to do, said Michelle, who keeps a well-stocked First Aid kit in her car.I think about it some-
times, said Jennifer Mar-tinez. Theres always that chance, but you could get concussions banging around with friends playing basket-ball in the driveway.Hector Martinez said he
trusts the safety equipment, referees, and coaches to help prevent injuries to his sons, who both also play football for CRHS.The parents all expressed
gratitude to Barbieri and Superintendent of Schools Kathryn Veronesi for sup-porting the program. This is 100 percent better than the alternative, Tim McDermott said.Its not just to play
hockey, said George Le-mieux, you want your kid to be part of something bigger.The regional arrangement
has been working out so far, according to Barbieri. It al-lows them to play their sport with pride.Barbieri said he is inves-
tigating the possibility of a regional swim team, but has to have both interest and opportunity.

Towns absorb blizzard conditions
The blizzard that hit Durham and Middlefield on Monday night and stayed through Tuesday came with a mountain of warning, but less snow than expected. Al-though forecasts predicted up to three feet of snow, local snowfall ranged from 14 to 18 inches, although snowdrifts were deeper in places.The first selectmen of
Durham and Middlefield both reported a heavy but manageable storm and both credited Governor Malloys travel ban with making con-ditions easier.The state should be com-
mended for this staying-off-the-street thing, Middlefield
First Selectman Jon Brayshaw said. It was a great thing and it makes it easier to plow snow.Durham First Selectman
Laura Francis agreed. Im very grateful people heeded the warnings to stay home. Francis said that cars on the road during storms leads not only to more accidents, but more power outages caused by cars hitting power line poles.On 3 p.m. Tuesday, CL&P
was reporting just eight power outages across the state with none in Durham or Middlefield.Francis said that Durhams
road crew worked 24 hours straight from 5 p.m. Monday to 5 p.m. Tuesday and were back cleaning up Wednesday.
Well probably continue all week cleaning up so were ready for the next one, Fran-cis said.Middlefield had its entire
crew out on Tuesday with one truck broken down on Wednesday.There were four calls
for emergency service in Durham on Tuesday and one in Middlefield.Schools were dismissed
early Monday and canceled for Tuesday and Wednesday. Superintendent of Schools Kathryn Veronesi said that safety is the first priority when considering school can-cellations and not all of the town roads were expected to be safe for buses and bus stops on Wednesday. Veronesi consults with the
emergency management and the first selectman of each town, as well as District 13 Supervisor of Buildings and Grounds Rob Francis and nearby superintendents be-fore canceling school. It takes a team to get us
back in school, Veronesi
said. I cant open a building until its safe to get adults and kids in school.With the current number
of snow days, the last day of school is now scheduled for June 18 and April vacation re-mains intact.The heart of the bliz-
zard traveled east of its pre-dicted path. Western areas
of Connecticut were report-ing snowfall totals as low as six inches. Eastern portions of the state were harder hit, with totals reported up to three feet.At a press conference, Mal-
loy credited the lack of out-ages on the dry nature of the snow and the states tree pruning program.

At halftime of the Friday, Jan. 30 Coginchaug Regional High School boys basketball game against Portland, mem-bers of the CRHS 1974-75 state championship boys basketball team will be honored.While the details of the
event are still being arranged, CRHS Athletic Director Nick Barbieri said that the team, which won the first and only state championship on the boys side, will be honored with a calling of the roster and some of team members will speak. Barbieri said he hopes to have alumni of that class on hand, including cheerleaders and the singer of the national anthem from the champion-ship game.
A banner hangs in the May-nard Stender Gymnasium, where Coginchaug basketball games are played, and it will be taken down for a current team photo. That 1975-75 team includes
several members who remain local, including John Fore-line, who currently coaches the CRHS boys junior varsity team. Barbieri said that hon-oring the championship team is part of an effort to create theme nights at home games. Future theme nights include
Pink Out games for cancer awareness. At the boys and girls home basketball games on Feb. 2 and 3, fans and ath-letes will wear pink and por-tions of advance ticket sales and donations from canisters at the games will go to the American Cancer Society.

Green Bank finances en-ergy saving projects for local businesses and non-profits. To pay for these projects, the businesses and non-profits then receive a split property tax bill with the re-payment portion, called a benefit as-sessment property tax, going to Green Bank.According to Kovtunenko,
more than 100 Connecticut towns have already worked
with Green Bank for over $60 million in projects. Durham has already signed on with the program.Although municipal prop-
erties can not use the fi-nancing, towns can utilize the financing program as an economic development tool. Rental properties with five units or more can also qualify.As an example, Kovtunenko
described a church buying a new boiler that it could not afford without financing.
We have a requirement that an energy audit has to be done ... on the project, Kovtunenko said. A third party also examines the en-ergy savings from the proj-ect to make sure the business or non-profit is saving more than it will spend on the financing.The third party study is
done, Kovtunenko said, to meet a statutory require-ment that all projects meet a savings to investment ratio greater than one, meaning that [the projects] will more than pay for themselves over the life of the improvements. Green financing started in
2008 in California, but Con-necticut is the first state to implement it statewide.This was the first meet-
ing between Middlefield and Green Bank and the select-men, who did not receive preliminary materials, asked basic questions about the structure of the program. Un-der the program, the town re-ceives payments to cover tax software upgrades and staff time, but otherwise functions as more of a pass-through.The selectmen asked
Kovtunenko to prepare more material and meet with the tax collector to move to-wards an agreement with Middlefield. It could be beneficial to
the commercial properties in town, beneficial to our non-profits and churches, Selectman Ed Bailey said.

According to PALS president Pat Murawski, many of the fa-vorite restaurants and caterers will be back, along with sev-eral new offerings. Murawski said when people walk in the library for the party, they want to see whats new and they want to see their favorites.Among the more than 20
expected food servers, local restaurants Time Out Taverne, Lyman Orchards Farm Market, and Cozy Corner will provide savory options.
Durhams own Perk on Main and Kims Cottage Confections will provide some of the sweet options.Roberto Tschudin Lucheme,
chocolatier of Middletowns Tschudins Chocolates, will be back at Taste of Durham af-ter winning on the Food Net-works cooking challenge show Rewrapped. Many of the returning par-
ticipants will be bringing the dishes that proved popular at previous Taste of Durham events. Everybody appears to be bringing everybodys favor-
ites, Murawski said.According to Murawski, at
least four restaurants and one farm will be among the new of-ferings this year. Durham farm Starlight Gar-
dens will offer salads and a homemade dressing, for the first time, at the library. Art-ies Bar & Grill, Pizzeria Da-Vinci, Dads, and Its Only Natural will join the returning favorites. Dads, of Wallingford, will
serve chili, pulled pork and Reuben sliders, and Hungarian pancakes on the library eating
tour. In addition to pizza, Piz-zeria DaVinci will offer panini and cannoli.The musical offerings mix
the new with the returning as well. Bruce Schmottlach will play piano on the first floor, while Peter Magrane and the Drive-by Blues Band will enter-tain diners on the lower level. The event is for those 21
and older. Little Rooster will provide the wine tasting and Durham Wine & Spirits will offer two new beers from the Samuel Adams brewery.The Taste of Durham is
PALS biggest fund raiser of the year. PALS supports li-brary programing for adults, young adults, and children. Re-cent PALS-supported program-ming include a series of talks conducted by the Connecticut Historical Society. PALS also purchases the mu-
seum passes available at the library, including a newly ac-quired pass for the Connecticut Historical Society Museum in Hartford.Tickets for the Taste of

I live in Durham, and Im so glad I do. In my book, theres nothing like small-town living. And although I have not been sitting on any bar stools as of late, the theme song from Cheers keeps running through my head. This is where every-one knows my name.The warmth and
good-heartedness of the townsfolk greet me at every turn. Im a common sight on Madison Road, as my daily walks have me on it for about 10 minutes until I can get to a side road. Peo-ple, both those I know and those I dont, frequently give me a friendly honk. Once a driver gave me a thumbs-up, presumably because with winters passing, I had re-turned to my barefootin ways (Its a known fact that
I am no lover of shoes.) One time when I was at a tag sale, a woman told me she hadnt seen me walking lately (I had been laid up at the time), and she had been worried about me. It felt nice to have been missed.Living in a small town
means I know my mailman, and he lets me know that I am more than just an ad-dress on an envelope to him. When he brings me a pack-age, or sees me out walking, he always takes the time to ask me how Im doing, and I know he means it. Someone back at the post office also seems to care. Sometimes when I open up the envelope containing my new stamps, on the receipt is written, Hi, Diana. How are you? It

Letters to the Editor
Positive news appreciatedTo the editor:I am writing to share my
appreciation for publishing the piece titled "Local Mus-lims seek to serve humanity, be voice of moderation" by Charles Kreutzkamp (Jan. 23, 2014). I enjoyed the article very much.Given all the negative pub-
licity about Muslims por-trayed all around us, it is really heartening to see posi-tive news about Muslims be-ing shared in the media. More importantly, this article al-lows us to appreciate that youth within our own com-munity, are working shoul-der to shoulder with adults, volunteering their weekend time towards a noble cause of helping the poor.I was inspired myself a few
years ago to volunteer time at a local shelter through the coverage of local media on hunger and communities volunteering in local shelters. Having spent my own time cooking and serving food for the shelter, I want to say that spending those few hours on weekends with my teenage son are truly gratifying mo-ments in our day to day lives. We come home thankful for our bounties.I am also thankful to your
staff for covering a topic which, in several ways, high-lights the diversity of the con-tent and the communities our newspaper represents.Please continue to bring
about news of what our com-munities are doing to help improve the lives of others.

No trivial matterTo the editor:Fluoridation promoters
have been making a mistake about an important IQ study from Harvard (Choi et al., 2012) and keep doing so de-spite being corrected.They have claimed that
the study, which examined 27 studies investigating a possible association between lowered IQ and exposure to fluoride, found an average drop of less than half an IQ point. In reality, the authors found a drop of half of one standard deviation, which translates to seven IQ points, which is substantial.Charles Kreutzkamp (in the
Town Times Jan. 23) makes it look as if the Fluoride Action Network (FAN) is accepting this mistake instead of cor-recting it. He writes:FAN admits that Dr. My-
ron Allukian stated that the Harvard team found only a half point difference in IQ between the children from high-fluoride and low-fluo-ride areas. According to Al-lukian, a half point difference in IQ is meaningless. Thats like saying, we measured all the people in New York and Chicago and in New York they were a half millimeter taller. FAN goes on to argue that this half of one percent difference is significant in the face of Allukians assertion that a 0.5 percent difference is nothing more than statisti-cal noise.What FAN wrote (fluoride-
alert.org/articles/iq-facts/ ), was:The problem with Alluki-
ans claim is that it is com-pletely false The Harvard team found that high-fluoride exposure was associated with a 0.45 reduction in the stan-dardized mean difference (SMD) in intelligence. Dr. Al-lukian and other fluoridation proponents have mistakenly interpreted this to mean that a half-point reduction in SMD equates to a half-point reduc-tion in IQ. This, however, is not the case. As the Harvard team has recently confirmed, a reduction of 0.45 SMD is approximately equivalent to seven IQ points for com-monly used IQ scores.This is no trivial matter.
The last children that need their IQ lowered are those from low-income families, who are precisely those tar-geted by fluoridation.

In this age of technol-ogy, practically anyone can now capture photographs and videos with devices not much bigger than a piece of gum. Thousands of pictures can easily be gathered in minutes. We are all creating a digital footprint that can last forever on the Internet. In light of the recent criti-cisms of police arrests, body cameras for police officers are becoming a hot topic in Hartford. On one hand, this data
is helpful for investigation purposes, but on the other, it can become a scary invasion of privacy. The legislature saw this play out with the Sandy Hook tragedy, where investigators took photos of the gruesome crime scene. Those photos became a dis-closable public document under the states Freedom of Information Act. As a result, the legislature, under some criticism, passed a law to protect those images from
disclosure. While one can argue that all public docu-ments should remain public under all circumstances, it fails to acknowledge the pro-liferation and ease of data collection and the privacy rights of the victims.Some are now advocating
for body cameras on po-lice officers. If Connecticut chooses to take this course of action, we must begin a dialogue about privacy rights and data collection. These cameras may capture
people at their worst or most vulnerable times. Whether it is a domestic event, car accident or traffic stop, Im not sure people would want to see their images plastered on YouTube, Facebook or any other social media web-site. In addition, while these cameras may be inexpen-sive, whats more concern-ing is how towns and cities will purchase and maintain the servers necessary to

EAST HARTFORD The American Lung As-sociation released its 13th annual State of Tobacco Control report that found that in 2014 Connecticut again had mixed results in enacting the tobacco control policies needed to save lives and help end the tobacco epidemic. The report finds that most
states and the federal government earned poor grades, and their tobacco control progress is at a virtual standstill. Connecticuts failure to
adequately fund the states tobacco control program is a major obstacle that is holding us back from mak-

always makes my day.Small-town living means
we have the time to talk to each other, and that means the trip into town is always a social event for me. I go into a place of business and I know everyone and they know me. Sometimes the talk is chit chat and pleas-antries, and sometimes it runs deeper. When I get home, I always feel like I
have just spent some quality time with friends. For me, the spirit of this
town is epitomized by a man I met when my family and I moved to Durham 27 years ago. Ackermans General Store was here then, seeing to the needs of the towns-folk by offering a variety of goods. It was the first time I had gone in, and when I went up to the counter I re-alized I was short on cash, so I said Id put the milk back. Mr. Ackerman, who had never laid eyes on me before, without a moments hesitation told me to take the milk and just pay him the next time I came by. I was so touched by his faith in me that I went home and got the money and brought it to him right away. And I have never forgotten his kindness.Brenda Eddy, the owner
of Main Street Feed, is, I believe, cut from the same cloth as Mr. Ackerman. If
someone cant get to her store before it closes, she will leave their purchases outside, and they pay her the next time they swing by. There is no shortage of trust and goodwill in this town.I love country living, for
so many reasons. Not the least of which is the fact that the aforementioned Brenda has a chicken residing in her store, which I am pretty sure you would not find in the city. She (the chicken, not Brenda) had acciden-tally been left outside when the coop was closed up one night, which caused her to fall ill. So she was brought inside and nursed back to health. On this particular day, Brenda was standing on top of a ladder, taking inventory of the top shelf, and the hen was perched on one of the rungs, just as contented as could be. She let me pet her, and I was thinking that even the chick-ens are friendly here. And then, on what I imagine was a whim, she flew to Brendas head, where she apparently intended to hang out for a while. I love that I live in a place
where I can walk into a store and find someone with a chicken on her head. That just says it all for me. And yes, I know this hens name. Its Sable.

Cameras
store the massive amount of videos.One of Connecticuts larg-
est police unions in Hartford recently expressed concerns over how these cameras will be used as well. Unlike the NFL booth reviews on ref-eree calls, second guessing an officers reaction may have an adverse impact on public safety and turn the public into Monday morning quarterbacks on situations that we dont truly under-stand. The Hartford Police Union has raised some com-pelling issues pertaining to the use of body cameras. To name a few, a camera does not follow the eyes of the
police officer, thus recording things that the officer may not see; recorded images are two-dimensional; cameras can pick up images better in low light than the human eye; and camera speeds dif-fer from the speed of life.In Graham v. Connor,
the United States Supreme Court found that [t]he rea-sonableness of a particular use of force must be judged from the perspective of a reasonable officer on the scene, rather than with the 20/20 vision of hindsight. The calculus of reasonable-ness must embody allowance for the fact that police offi-cers are often forced to make split-second judgments in circumstances that are tense,
uncertain, and rapidly evolv-ing about the amount of force that is necessary in a particular situation. When the public views the ac-tions of an officer, we cannot judge it from a what would I have done perspective. Body cameras may seem
like a sensible solution to protect the rights of the public and police officers, but I believe the state must address these serious pri-vacy issues before cities and towns take on this en-deavor. I dont believe any of us would want images of a loved one being arrested or injured, plastered all over the Internet and paid for by our tax dollars. We must be careful of what we ask for.

Tobacco
ing progress and further re-ducing tobacco use, said Jeff Seyler, President & CEO of the American Lung Associ-ation of the Northeast. We need to commit to saving lives and reducing tobacco caused disease by boosting tobacco control funding. State of Tobacco Control
2015 evaluates tobacco con-trol policies at the federal and state level, and assigns grades based on whether laws protect citizens from the enormous toll tobacco use takes on lives. The new report comes follow-ing the 50th anniversary of the 1964 Surgeon Generals report, which first sounded the alarm on the dangers of smoking. Now 51 years later, tobacco use kills almost half a million Americans and causes up to $333 billion in healthcare costs and lost productivity each year. In 2014, the American Lung Association and its partners called for immediate action on tobacco use by all levels of government to achieve three bold goals:Reduce smoking rates,
currently at about 18 per-cent, to less than 10 percent by 2024;Protect all Americans
from secondhand smoke by 2019; andUltimately eliminate the
death and disease caused by tobacco use.The American Lung As-
sociation is urging states and the federal government to take needed steps to achieve these bold goals, said Sey-ler. Its no secret how to reduce tobacco use in the United States, our state and federal leaders need to muster the political will to implement these proven policies. Our nation cannot afford the health or financial consequences of their con-tinued failure to act.Grades for ConnecticutState of Tobacco Control
2015 finds state level prog-ress on proven tobacco con-trol policies all-but stalled in 2014. However, Connecti-cuts mixed grades show that progress is possible, although even more needs to be done by our elected offi-cials to pass proven policies that will reduce tobacco use
and save lives. Priorities that must be
addressed to improve Con-necticuts State of Tobacco Control grades in 2015 in-clude increasing tobacco prevention and control funding so that it is funded at least half of the CDC-rec-ommended level and closing loopholes in the states clean indoor act. With two Fs a C and
a B, this is a report card that Connecticut residents should not be proud of, said Ruth Canovi, Public Pol-icy Manager at the Amer-
ican Lung Association of the Northeast. Leaders in Hartford must step up to provide smokers with the support they need to quit and adequately fund preven-tion programs that help keep our kids off tobacco, said Canovi.Health insurance cover-
age to provide smokers ac-cess to all the tools proven to help them quit, was a hot topic again in 2014. All state health insurance commis-sioners must make sure in-surance plans, under their authority, are following the
guidance on cessation treat-ments issued by the federal government in May 2014. One of Connecticuts great-est recent victories in our tobacco control work was the inclusion of the tobacco cessation benefit to Med-icaid coverage. Medicaid serves a population that is disproportionately impacted by tobacco use; access to quit assistance for this pop-ulation is so important. The American Lung Association would like to see these same tobacco cessation benefits offered under the state em-
ployee health plan as well.Overall, no state passed
a comprehensive smoke-free law or significantly in-creased tobacco taxes, and not a single state managed to earn an A grade for pro-viding access to cessation treatments in this years State of Tobacco Control 2015 report. Only two states are funding their state to-bacco prevention programs at the updated levels recom-mended by CDC.The federal government

Tobacco
took small steps forward this year, but still fell short in important areas, such as to-bacco taxes and finalizing its regulatory authority over all tobacco products.In April, the Food and
Drug Administration (FDA) proposed to assert author-ity over all tobacco products including e-cigarettes, little cigars and other tobacco products. The American Lung Association also ex-pressed strong opposition to the Obama Administrations
proposal to exempt certain cigars from basic FDA over-sight and that it failed to finalize the proposal by the end of 2014.On the plus side, the fed-
eral government issued an important policy clarifica-tion making it clear to in-surance companies that all seven FDA-approved medi-cations and all three forms of counseling should be cov-ered to help smokers quit.FDA also launched its
youth prevention mass-me-dia campaign, The Real Cost and CDC continued its
highly successful Tips from Former Smokers campaign, which a study released in late 2014 shows has a signif-icant impact with even cur-rent modest investments.The federal government
and each state have a lot of work to do to improve upon this years State of Tobacco Control report. We urge everyone in Connecticut to join the American Lung Association and help us tell our state and federal leaders to take action now to save lives, said Canovi. State of Tobacco Control
2015 uses updated method-ology to reflect the updated 2014 CDC Best Practices for Comprehensive To-bacco Control Programs. It also incorporates other tobacco product taxes and tobacco cessation coverage under Medicaid expansion into the grades. Because of revisions to the methodol-ogy, all grades from State of Tobacco Control 2015 cannot be directly compared to grades from State of To-bacco Control 2014 or ear-lier reports.

A new coach has the reins of the Coginchaug High School football program, North Havens Nicholas DAngelo, pictured.
CHESHIRE The fourth Connecticut High School In-vitational will be held Satur-day, Feb. 28 at Bowl-O-Rama
in Newington beginning at 10 a.m. The tournament, staged in
partnership between the CIAC
and the Connecticut Bowling Proprietors Association, is open to all CIAC schools.Registration is now open.
The field is limited to 40 teams. Submit entries to the CIAC office, care of Judy Sylvester.Teams can have a maximum
of 10 bowlers. A 10-game Baker format will be used. Each bowler participates in two frames to accumulate a team score. Teams can be made up of all boys, all girls or a com-bination. Liberal substitution rules will be allowed.Though bowling is now con-
sidered just an activity, rather than a sponsored sport, the CIAC is looking to eventually make it an official sport. Con-sidering past turnouts for the Connecticut High School Invi-tational, its on the right track. The first invitational drew 19 teams, the last two more than 30. This years event will also feature a Unified Sports bowling tournament at the same venue, a rare situation in which an interscholastic and Unified Sports event have been combined.
