IMS lax defeats Miss Hall’s 12-5

LAKEVILLE — The Indian Mountain School Falcons hosted Miss Hall’s School Hurricanes for a girls lacrosse game on the new turf field at IMS on Wednesday, April 12. The Falcons soared to victory over the Hurricanes in a 12-5 win.

“We’re excited to be out here on the new field,” said IMS Coach Eliza Statile.

The sun was shining with strong winds and temps in the upper 70s as both teams faced off. IMS got off to a hot start with a quick goal from Rosie Muzaurieta on their first possession. The Hurricanes responded with a goal of their own, but the Falcons quickly piled on four more to climb to an early 5-1 lead.

IMS dominated possession in the first half and dictated the tempo. They passed with efficiency and waited to find their opening through the eye of the Hurricane defense.

Hall’s scored their second goal on a faceoff fast break and then IMS racked up three more to take an 8-2 lead by halftime. Helen Wood was lights out from the inside and secured a hat trick in the first half.

The Hurricanes came back fired up in the second half and looked to lock down the Falcon attackers. Both teams traded a pair of back-and-forth goals in the early part of the period to bring the score to 10-4.

With Hall’s looking to pick up momentum and ignite a run, IMS slowed the pace of the game and ran down the clock. Muzaurieta controlled the ball behind the Hurricane net and tacked on another goal in the process, securing the second hat trick of the game for the Falcons.

Both teams would score again late in the second half to bring the final score to 12-5 in favor of the Falcons. IMS advanced to 3-0 on the season while Miss Hall’s moved to 1-2.

Muzaurieta and Wood both finished with three goals, Emma Ohler scored twice, and Anna Ceola, Ryan Seelenbrandt, Frances Clark, and Anna Lim all scored once for the Falcons.

IMS varsity girls lax will be back on their home field on April 21 when they host Litchfield Hills at 4:30 p.m.

Put $1M to work for housing affordability

If I had $1 million to improve housing affordability in Litchfield County, I would create a revolving Housing Opportunity Fund. Instead of spending the entire amount on one or two homes, I would use it to help local housing trusts acquire land or properties, provide down-payment assistance for qualified buyers, convert appropriate existing buildings into housing, and help cover some of the upfront costs that can prevent good housing projects from ever getting started.

125 years ago — September 1901

LIME ROCK — Matthew Patterson recently received a silver medal from the Canadian government as a token of his services during the Fenian raid in ‘71. The medal is suitably inscribed and is considerably heavier than a silver dollar. It depends from a silk tri-color and pin, and altogether makes a very neat souvenir.

Voices from our community about the housing we need for a healthy, vibrant future

Voices from our community about the housing we need for a healthy, vibrant future

There’s a reason people say, “It takes a village to raise a child.” To thrive, a child needs a safe, stable place to call home. That’s the bedrock for health, dignity, and the chance to build a bright future. What kind of “village” does it take to create these homes?

Motivated by compassion and a drive to make housing more accessible, it took the Foundation for Norfolk Living years of hard work to create ten affordable homes at Haystack Woods. The “village” turned out to be a patchwork of support that included financial help from the DOH, a construction mortgage through Northwest Community Bank, and a Community Development Block Grant to purchase the property and pay for the road and infrastructure. The result? Two- and three-bedroom homes reserved for first-time homebuyers earning 60-80% of Litchfield County’s median income, and selling for $159,000 to $261,000. The condominium homes are deed-restricted and net-zero thanks to energy-efficient construction, solar panels, and battery storage, meaning the homebuyers will have no energy costs! Curious? Just Google “Haystack Woods” to learn more. It’s a remarkable accomplishment.
