A sweet return for spring
|
After a cold, dark winter I look forward to spring when senses come alive again and there’s a delicious earthy fragrance in the woods. I find myself searching the hills for clouds of steam billowing from evaporators and envision myself surrounded by sweet-smelling maple steam inside warm, cozy sugar shacks.

Watching the birds on a snowy morning
They come and go without any warning
Nibbling and fleeing, as flighty they are
Running away, but not very far.

Bordonaro scores her 1,000th point for GMHS girls basketball
|
If you have ever stepped inside the K.L. King Gymnasium at Granby Memorial High School, the most eye-catching details are the countless maroon and gold banners decorating the dark wood walls. From the 1973 field hockey banner that commemorates the first state championship in school history to recent titles and individual awards, the tall walls of the gym can be likened to a museum.
While teams usually have to wait until the end of the season before any titles are awarded, Granby girls basketball senior captain Alyssa Bordonaro has already earned her place on the wall.
