The Killingworth Elementary School PTO sponsored Cultural Arts Program continued its 2006-2007 season with its third performance of the school year entitled "The Oregon Trail - A Tale of Westward Expansion". Using costumes, props and the distinctive music and dance, the ensemble called "Themselves" brought to life the tale of 13-year-old girl traveling by wagon train with her family from Independence, Missouri to the lush farmlands of Oregon. Period songs, costumes, props, journal entries and scenes all contributed to a tale of a remarkable journey, in which a vast and awesome wilderness is crossed and a new understanding of courage, perseverance and interdependence is gained. This performance in part was made possible with support from the Connecticut Commission on Culture & Tourism and the National Endowment for the Arts.

The clocks have been set back and we are starting to think about cooking the Thanksgiving turkey and all of those fun holiday things yet to come ! You should have finished all of your fall planting by this time with the exception of your fall bulbs. These can be planted until the ground is no longer workable. And as the weather has been particularly warm you should still have plenty of time for that.

Now is the time to pot bulbs for indoor forcing. White narcissus is one of the easiest and will bloom in time for Christmas if brought indoors in mid November. You can also pot Daffodils and crocus for flowering a little later on. There's more!

Nineteen high school girls swim teams, including the Haddam-Killingworth team, were in the field house preparing for the State Class S Championships. According to reports, the Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection and New Haven Fire Department crews responded at about 8:00 p.m. after four or five people complained of some kind of irritation.

Selectmen Fred Dudek and Ed Sipples voted to reject the proposed charter revisions at Monday's Board of Selectmen's meeting. First Selectman Marty Klein abstained. Dudek said the Commission should have included a Public Works Commission in the additions in order to maintain continuity in the care and upkeep of the Town's roads. Sipples said the Charter Commission did not thoroughly address the bidding procedure issue or repercussions for officials knowingly disregarding procedures. The Charter Commission's service to the Town ended with the submission of its final report. If the Town would like to make any changes to the Town Charter, the BOS must reappoint a new Commission in January.

The BOS also received a response from Town Attorney Michael Wells regarding questions raised by resident Michael Board on the use of the bidding procedure. Wells said the bidding regulation adopted by the BOS and the Board of Finance back in 1992 should be adhered to until it is changed or amended.

Killingworth Municipal Historian
This article describes what may have happened to the first meetinghouse or church building in Killingworth completed in 1743, based on some startling new information and discoveries that reveal that a portion of the meetinghouse may still stand. In the early 1700s, because of the difficulty the northern residents of town experienced in traveling south for church and town meetings, they decided there was a need to form their own parish or Second Ecclesiastical Society. They petitioned the General Assembly which passed an Act of Organization on May 9, 1735 granting permission for the formation of a new society. The act stated where the division line would be and made the northern part of town a separate ecclesiastical society. This line would later be the boundary between Clinton and Killingworth. The ecclesiastical society held responsibility within its boundaries for religious affairs, schools, and the burying grounds.

First Selectman Marty Klein announced at last night's Board of Selectmen's meeting that the State Department of Transportation has decided to delay improvements to the Town circle until it can make changes in the design to accommodate the large trucks that regularly use the circle. The project was originally slated to start in April or May 2007. Klein said the project has been pushed back to 2008.

Resident Peter Venuti, of Venuti Enterprises, raised concerns at the public information meeting held last month, that the long tractor trailer trucks authorized to use Route 80 and 81 would not be able to navigate in the redesigned roundabout. William Britnell, the DOT Project Manager said he and his team would go back and look into the issue. Word came down recently from the DOT that the redesign would take some additional time and the $1,000.000 project would be delayed.

Teams consisting of 8-15 members representing businesses, civic organizations, schools, friends and families will walk for 24 hours to raise funds in the fight against cancer.

Relay For Life is a cancer survivor event-within-an-event. At Every Relay For Life, cancer survivors are honored for their courage and strength by beginning the event with an honorary lap. The individuals are celebrated in various ways from food and t-shirts, to dances and games!

A luminaria ceremony. Survivors and those who are no longer with us are honored at this one-of-a-kind ceremony. Paper bags bearing the names of loved ones line the track and often the entire stadium. A candle is placed inside and is lit at dusk. This moving, memorable portion of the event is often the most powerful time of the entire Relay For Life activity.

A college fair. Few other events bring together all components of a community from children to older adults like the Relay For Life. Games food, fun, music and activities fill the air of every Relay For Life as everyone joins for a common cause and has fun doing it!

The HK High School Boys Soccer team had its season cut short yesterday afternoon as East Catholic eliminated them from the the Class S State Tournament. The Cougars had a strong run, winning the Shoreline Championship last month, but fell 3-1 in the state quarterfinal game.

The HK Girls U11 (6th grade) travel basketball team defeated an always tough East Haven team on Sunday, 32-29. Down by one point going into the fourth quarter, HK's strong defensive press forced numerous turnovers to score. Anna Fetteroll scored 8 of her game high 12 points off the strong defensive efforts of the entire team. Bethany Riedy and Torie Peterson chipped in with 9 and 6 points respectively. Kudos to Marissa Moncata, Kirsten Carlson, Maya Savino, Carly Brownell, Jacque Garofalo and Sam Waskowitz for their intense defense and movement of the ball offensively. Shannon Sledzik, Emily Darin, Torie, Anna and Bethany were strong under the basket for HK. It was a great group effort. Congratulations to all the girls.

The Cougar JV football team got back on the winning track with a convincing, 44-22, win over the Rams of Old Saybrook-Westbrook on Monday. HK would win the opening toss and get the ball first to start the game. After the kickoff, HK would score on its very first play from scrimmage as Sal Zichichi cut outside and turned on the jets for a 50 yard touchdown run to put HK up 6-0.

After both teams traded stalled drives, OSW would strike when a 50 yard run brought them to the HK 8 yard line. Two plays later they would score and get the 2 point conversion for a 8-6 lead. Their excitement would last for approximately 60 seconds.

On the ensuing kickoff, Zichichi would get outside and race 75 yards for a touchdown. Nick Digioia would run in the 2 point conversion to give HK a 14-8 lead.

Good times would continue for the Cougars as Russ Spaeth would step in from of a Ram pass for an interception and return in 34 yards down to the OSW 26 yard line. From there Zichichi would run for a 13 yard touchdown a few plays later. Rob Flynn would connect with Zichichi for the 2 point conversion pass and give HK a 22-8 lead.

Things got uglier for OSW on the kickoff as they bobbled the kick, which lead to a Cougar recovery. With the ball back in their hands, HK would march the short length of the field until Zichichi popped another touchdown in from five yards out. Teddy Kanaras would run the 2 point conversion, and the Cougars would own a 30-8 lead.

Once the Rams got the ball back, it would not take the Cougar defense long to force a fumble and get the ball back in Ram Territory again. This drive was extra special for the Cougars as it marked the return under center of quarterback Greg Zak.

Zak showed no signs of rust as he directed the Cougars down field, completing two passes on the drive until Kanaras finished it off with a 3 yard touchdown run. The conversion was no good, but HK held a 36-8 lead at the half.

The Rams were in the mood to try a little trickery on the kickoff as they attempted a reverse return. Unfortunately for them, Zichichi was in the mood to try a little thievery as he drilled the Ram ball carrier and stripped the ball from him simultaneously. 40 yards later, he was standing in the endzone for a touchdown. Digioia would do the 2 point honors again and HK was forced to call off the dogs with a 44-8 lead.

OSW would tack on a few long touchdowns in the 4th quarter, but HK would coast to a 44-22 victory. The cost of the win was high however, as the Cougars may have lost Kanaras to an injury. GAME CHANGE: The Cougars' game has been moved to 11:00 a.m. Saturday, November 18 at the HK Field.

To the Editor:
All New England towns are rightly proud of their Volunteer Firefighters and Ambulance Associations. We also tend to take them for granted. No one can predict when or why they might need these services. I can tell you my family will forever be grateful for the outstanding job the KVFC and Ambulance Association did when they became the crucial first link in the process of saving our daughter's life after a horrific car accident. Their response time and medical expertise were remarkable. We would like to publicly acknowledge and thank the following:

Ambulance responders - Irene Des Jardins and Marguarite Haga; Firefighters -Deputy Chief Dick Bauer, Assistant Chief Brian Ahearn, Assistant Chief Todd Hajek, Captain Jeremy Adametz, Lieutenant Paul Jacobs, John Ahearn, Michael Ahearn, Matt Albrecht, Fire Police Don Berry, Bob Drew, Ralph Knockwood, Andy Kuczma, Fire Police Jerry Manware, Arnie Moore, Michael Okoniewski, Anthony Pascucelli, George Roelofsen, Tom Shipman, Bill Shipman, Donald Venuti Jr., Middlesex Hospital Paramedic Michael Nielwalki

Thank you also to the couple who witnessed our daughter's accident and called it in, staying with her until help arrived. You, too, were life savers that night.

Kristen is making a strong recovery and will graduate with her class in June. It would not have been possible without the help of all of you.

With much appreciation,
The Milano Family

The KES-PTO Playground Committee, organized to raise funds, plan and purchase new equipment for the upper playground at Killingworth Elementary School, got its fundraising off to a strong start last month with a successful community Pasta Dinner in the school's all-purpose room. Including the money raised from the dinner and donations from the community and local businesses, the fund's total to date is just over $7,800. The fund was initiated last summer by the family of George Pellegrini, who worked at KES for many years and passed away in June.

The food for the evening was generously donated by Forte's Market, Ferraro's Food Center, Thurston Foods, Inc, Roberts IGA and Dino's pizza. More than 450 individuals dined during the two seatings. They enjoyed entertainment from KES music teacher Joel Spineti and Michael Degregorio and were served by the fifth grade students.

Committee Chair Michele Early would like to thank all who gave so much time and energy to prepare for the event and those who worked so hard that night to make the dinner a success. She would also like to acknowledge the generous donations from the Pellegrini Family, Higganum Physical Therapy, Grove Systems, Inc, Winterberry Farm, Roland Wygonik, DDS, Coady Construction, Killingworth True Value, Moher Construction, Copper Skillet, Joan Reed Wilson, Esq, Denvir Tire Shop, Marsha Couture Prudential Realty, Reliable Heating & Air Conditioning, Wright Sales Associates and Juice Plus.

The committee is currently working on defining the plan for the playground, looking for grant money and determining the total amount of funds needed to accomplish its goal. If you would like more information on the committee or would like to donate, please call Michele Early at 663-1496.

Forever is an unknown concept in this lovely cat's life. Where many cats are fortunate to have lifelong bonds with their caretakers and siblings, Pooh has known separation and heartbreak.

Pooh and her brother Tigger came to us on a cold day in January. Her owner described rescuing Pooh and Tigger and another littermate from a California shopping lot where group of children were tormenting the three helpless kittens. Heartbreak came early for Pooh & Tigger, as their littermate did not survive the ordeal.

For a couple years, everything was as it should be for a content kitty. However, fate soon intervened for Pooh and her brother Tigger. Her owner found herself in a situation where she could no longer provide proper care for Pooh and Tigger and made the heart wrenching decision to place Pooh in our care.

We were able to find a home for these lovable guys in short order. Once again, for Pooh, this home would not last forever either. Pooh's new owners brought her back to the shelter because, while she loved her new owners, she could not cope with the activity of a young child in the house. She was fine with the older children, but being chased by an active toddler was her undoing. Pooh was separated from her only lifelong companion Tigger, and returned to us.

If you are able to provide lots of love, companionship, and compassion, Pooh would reward you with the same in return. If you have room in your heart for Pooh, or would like to meet some of our other kitties, please call our Adoption Director at 860-669-1347 or find us on the web at forgottenfelinesct.org.

The HK football team celebrated senior day by crushing the Old Saybrook-Westbrook Rams, 41-16, Saturday afternoon in Higganum. The game marked the last time seniors Ryan Hardgrove, Russ Hawkins, Bill Kolodziej, Chris Bell, Kevin Peterson, Marc Revis, Joe Tarallo, Matt DiFillippo, and Paul Suchoski would play at home.

HK would get the day started off right by holding the Rams to a three and out on their first drive. Russ Hawkins and Tim Shine would sack the Ram quarterback to help force the punt.

From there, the offense took over and drove a short field to find the endzone with a two yard Bill Kolodziej touchdown run to take a 6-0 lead.

The lead would be short lived as OSW broke a big 36 yard touchdown run of their own. The two point conversion run would give them a 8-6 lead, and threatened to ruin Senior Day.

The Cougars would fight back upon receiving the ball, as they engineered a long drive that ended with Dave Bartolotta plunging in from 7 yards out. The two point try would fail, but HK now owned a 12-6 lead.

After the defense stuffed the Rams again, the offense went back to work as they marched down the field while the first half clocked ticked away. With just under 2 minutes left in the half, HK would finally get deep into Ram territory courtesy of Bartolotta's 22 yard run down to the nine yard line. Alex Pollack would get the Cougars into the endzone on the next play as he threw a perfect touchdown pass to tightend Eric Auer. Bartolotta would run in the two point conversion and HK was up 20-8.

The Rams however would not let the 1:46 left on the clock discourage them from finding the endzone again. Facing a 3rd and long, OSW appeared to have thrown an interception that DiFillippo returned deep into Ram territory. HK's joy would soon turn to shock as a roughing the passer call brought the interception back, and also gave the Rams a first down from the HK 27. From there, OSW would score a touchdown with one second left on the clock. The two point conversion was good which made the game a whole lot closer at 20-16.

The second half would be owned by the Cougars, as they would shred the Ram defense with every possession. Chris Arrigoni would score early in the 3rd quarter on a 20 yard touchdown run to make it 27-16.

Late in the 3rd, Bartolotta would be singing the praises of the offensive line as he was not touched on a 60 yard run before he was caught from behind at the one yard line. He would not have to wait long to get the final yard, as he dove into the endzone to give HK a commanding 34-16 lead.

HK would add another touchdown early in the 4th quarter when Hawkins put the finishing touches on his great day with a 2 yard run into the endzone. Joe Tarallo would kick the extra points on all three of the Cougars' second half touchdowns, which when all added up, gave HK the 41-16 win.

For the Cougars, several players had tremendous games. Bartolotta carried 17 times for 144 yards, two touchdowns, and a 2 point conversion. Jarrod Ramsey plowed his way over the Ram defense all game for the tune of 127 yards on 19 carries. Kolodziej also got in on the yardage party with 144 of his own on 20 carries to go with his touchdown. Arrigoni's touchdown was paired with his 59 yards on just four carries. As a team, the Cougars would amass an unheard of 565 yards of offense.

HK will now wait until 10:30 a.m. Thanksgiving morning to clash with the Warriors of Valley Regional, with the Principal's Cup going to the victor.
