Middlebury Girls Travel Basketball The Middlebury Girls Seventh- and EighthGrade Travel Team finished week nine of the season with two league wins, both on the road. Last Friday night, the girls defeated Wolcott Travel by a score of 32-16 at Frisbie Elementary School. Middlebury’s full court pressure defense proved too much for the young Wolcott team. Middlebury’s offensive attack was led by Lauren Stango with 8 points and numerous assists, including a pretty touch pass to a cutting Lauren Pelosi for 2 of her 8 points. Rounding out the scoring for Middlebury was Ciara Connelly with 6, Ashleigh Whitten with 4 and Allison Orsini, Grace Bollard and Payton Collette each with 2 points. The girls carried that momentum to Litchfield High School Saturday, when they defeated Litchfield Travel by a score of 40-24. Middlebury’s offensive performance was very balanced, with each player scoring in the contest. Middlebury had a strong second quarter, outscoring Litchfield 12 to 2 and putting the game

from the sink trap or garbage disposal, depending on how it was installed. Take the hose to the home-improvement store to find a comparable size and length. (Don’t purchase a shorter length, by the way. The hose needs to be set up so its middle part is higher than the inlet/outlet connections.) Connect the new hose, first to the sink trap or garbage disposal, then to the dishwasher outlet. Plug the dishwasher back in (or turn on the circuit). Place a piece of plastic along the floor under the outlet and under the sink trap connection, then run the dishwasher empty for a full cycle and monitor for leaks from the connections. If you detect any, adjust

Chances are you’ll be able to find a similarsize replacement at your home-improvement store. And you can always check with the manufacturer, either through a phone call or via its website, to see if the part is still available. At any rate, you don’t want the flooding to continue. Unplug the dishwasher (or turn off power at the circuit panel if there is no standard outlet) and gently slide it out of its cabinet so you can access the hose.

the connections until the leak stops. Once the leak is fixed, take a close look at the floor and wall behind the dishwasher as well as the basement ceiling, and note the location and extent of water damage. Damp drywall and flooring may dry without issues, but materials that get repeatedly soaked can develop a mold problem. If you detect mold, the affected drywall or ceiling should be cut out and replaced; flooring may not need replacement, but it does need to be treated to remove mold.

The Region 15 Board of Education (BoE), upon recommendation of its finance subcommittee, voted unanimously to increase the price of school lunch, effective today, Friday, Feb. 1. The district-wide increase is due to rising costs of higher quality foods and cafeteria supplies. In Region 15, the elementary and middle school lunch price will go up 35 cents per meal to $2.75 from $2.40. The high school lunch price will rise to $2.90 from $2.60. The last price increase for a school hot lunch was in 2010. Region 15 Finance Committee chairman Paul Babarik said the BoE recognized the need to raise prices early on due to new federal regulations and increased costs. “We tabled any price increases back at the beginning of the academic year to give us an opportunity to study the impact of new regulations and market increases,” said Babarik.
New lunch guidelines passed in 2010 (the Healthy, HungerFree Kids Act) were designed to improve the health and nutrition of children who participate in school lunch programs. These guidelines require doubling the servings of fruits and vegetables and lowering the sodium and fat content of lunches. Access to more nutritious meals, specific portion requirements and rising supply costs have led to the increased cost of a school lunch entrée and milk. Region 15 tracked food prices over a one-year period (September 2011 to September 2012) and noted an average increase of 10 to 12 percent. Cheese and dairy prices fluctuate month to month, but during that year the price of cheese rose to $2.69 per pound from $1.89 per pound, and milk prices went up 8.5 percent. “We are now required to serve 3/4 cup to 1 cup of fresh fruits and vegetables daily in addition to a starch and legumes. Half of
the grains we serve must be whole grain this year; next year, the requirements rise to 100 percent,” said Peter Brooks, Region 15 director of food service. The district also has seen double-digit increases for its cafeteria supplies, and U.S.D.A. regulations state Region 15 must purchase American-made products. The cost of a 500-piece case of five-component meal trays rose 14 percent while a case of plastic ware went to $10.64 from $5.63, an increase of 88.8 percent. Lunch prices are set by the BoE and are adjusted occasionally to reflect the fluctuating costs of food, labor and medical benefits. The Region 15 lunch program is self-supporting and operates separately from the general school district budget. The Food Service Department covers all its costs – including labor, food, supplies and equipment – from revenues it receives from paid lunches and federal reimbursements.
Seeking artistic alumni
Region 15 School District is inviting alumni to display artwork at the region’s 25th Annual Art Show April 26 and 27, 2013. In 1988, Region 15 held its first-ever district-wide art show. Now, 25 years later, the annual event has become a much-anticipated show, bringing together thousands of student artists, their families and the community over many years. To celebrate the art show’s 25th anniversary, district art teachers are inviting Region 15 alumni to showcase their artwork at the high school during the event. “We are looking forward to seeing what our graduates have been producing since they’ve left Region 15 schools,” said Jane Sarjeant, district fine arts director. “Many of my former students have contacted me over the years to reminisce about the art show. Having the students come back to display their art during the show’s 25th year is going to be very special.” The Region 15 Art Show will be Friday, April 26, from 6 to 9 p.m. and Saturday, April 27, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the Pomperaug High School Gymnasium and the All-Purpose Room. Interested alumni who wish to display their painting, photography, ceramics, drawings and sculpture are asked to contact Sarjeant (jsarjeant@region15.org) or Elaine Kyle (ekyle@region15.org) by Thursday, Feb. 28. Alumni will be responsible for providing their artist biography or statement as well as the delivery, display (e.g., easels, display platforms), and pickup of their work. Region 15 has created a presence for the 25th Anniversary Art Show on Facebook. Just search for “Region 15 Art Show.”
