1. What's the Weather? Sunny, with a high near 87. Tonight: Mostly clear, with a low around 65.

2. Combat Veteran Finds Peace in Poetry Colin D. Halloran, a 2004 CRHS Graduate and U.S. Army combat veteran, has a national award winning book of poetry being released nationwide this fall.

The collection, Shortly Thereafter, documents Halloran's journey from civilian life to combat and back again with "an intense and personal poetry of war's front lines" (M. Scott Douglass, Editor of Main Street Rag).

5. Summer Bocce Games are played every Tuesday at 6:00 outside of the Middlefield Community Center. These are drop in games, just bring a lawn chair and be ready to have a lot of laughs and enjoy some good stories. The ice tea is always chilled and the friendships warm.
