Everything from losing that ten pounds gained over Christmastime, to finally going back to school to get your degree, but something I intend to do in the new year is a little different. I’m going to step up my
volunteering. No it won’t help me fit into my skinny jeans, or earn me a higher salary, but it’s going to help me and my community in a big way, and I’m excited!
Volunteering is a really great, diverse, and personal thing to do. You pick a cause or a group that you feel passionate about, and you dig yourself in. For me that’s animals. Shelters are almost overwhelmed out here in California where I live due to the wildfires that ravaged the San Diego area this winter. So many families lost their homes and lost track of their pets
during the wildfires that most local shelters are at capacity. So come the new year, now that my holiday travel is over, I plan to spend some Saturdays at my local shelter socializing dogs and cats, cleaning crates and filling food dishes.
Animals shelters are just one idea out of literally thousands that are available in any area, and finding the one that’s right for you is as simple as a google search for a cause you believe in, or, if you want to see what’s going on in your area, check out websites like GiveGab.org or VolunteerMatch. They can suggest organizations in your area that desperately need your help. From there it’s up to you, and
while you won’t necessarily lose any weight, you’ll certainly gain experience and pride that will make you feel lighter. And let’s face it: everyone looks better wearing volunteer pins.
Volunteering, on top of being a feel good experience and a chance to give back, also builds skills and creates new opportunities for those involved. And if you don’t see your cause being represented in your area, consider starting up something grassroots and lead the way in 2019.
So follow your heart in the coming year, and give back. Happy New Year from PinMart!Lytton, Torrington grind out critical win at Naugatuck
NAUGATUCK – It was a sequence that epitomized the craziness that has been the first half of the season for the Torrington football team.
And it was one that saved any hopes the Red Raiders may have down the road for a playoff berth.
Trailing 13-12 to Naugatuck in the second quarter, the Red Raiders’ all-world star in Brenden Lytton intercepted a pass, but fumbled on the return and the Greyhounds brought the loose ball to the Torrington one-yard line.
Somehow, someway, the much maligned Torrington defense stopped the Greyhounds on four consecutive plays, giving its offense a chance to dig out of that precarious hole.
Enter back Lytton.
The senior rushed on seven of the next eight plays, carrying the Red Raiders on his back to the Naugatuck 46.
He then caught a screen pass from Phil Bresson, broke three tackles and went right into the end zone, giving Torrington an 18-13 lead it would not relinquish.
The Red Raiders went on to prevail, 31-27, over the previously-undefeated Greyhounds at Veterans Field to improve to 3-2, and now has a season that is suddenly full of life.
A third loss would all but have ended any hopes of a Class L postseason spot.
“This was very big for us,” Torrington head coach Dan Dunaj said. “I wouldn’t say it was do or die since we have a lot of games left, but obviously winning this game was huge. I’m am very proud of the effort our kids gave.”
Lytton, again, put on a performance for the ages. He carried the ball 39 times for 287 yards to go along with his 46-yard touchdown catch. He finished with four touchdowns total, and, for good measure, he sealed the win with an interception on the Greyhounds’ last ditch drive.
On the season, he has compiled 1,465 rushing yards and 17 touchdowns on the ground.
“We just kept pounding and pounding the ball and would never give in,” said Lytton, wearing a white jersey no longer recognizable due to the mud. “Some things didn’t go our way tonight, but we kept our concentration and capitalized on the next opportunites that came our way.”
Both teams traded touchdowns on their first possessions with Jake Yourison running it in for the Greyhounds from 31 yards out, and Lytton notching a two-yard score.
Torrington’s drive was a wild one to say the least, taking 6:29 and consisting of 14 plays and 65 yards. It included two fumbled snaps recovered by the Red Raiders, a Naugatuck sack, a 23-yard pass play from Bresson to Desmond Langs on third-and-13 from the Torrington 46, and a 15-yard connection on a screen pass from Bresson to Joan Toribeo on fourth-and-11 from the 25.
Any momentum from that possession for Torrington went quickly down the drain as Yourison returned the ensuing kickoff 78 yards for a touchdown.
Trailing 13-6, Demetrius Dailey had a tremendous read on a throw from Naugatuck’s Zac Mercer, jumping the slant pattern and picking off Mercer’s pass en route for a 34-yard interception return. Torrington failed on the two-point conversion and still trailed, 13-12.
Lytton’s 46-yard touchdown reception that gave Torrington a 18-13 lead came with 36.2 seconds left in the half. That was not only critical because of the score, but because the Red Raiders would get the ball to start the third quarter.
Lytton came out of the locker room refreshed, carrying the ball on six straight plays, the sixth a 53-yard touchdown run to expand the Torrington advantage to 24-13.
Naugatuck pulled within three at 24-21 on a 14-yard touchdown run from Yourison, but was quickly answered by Lytton, who scampered 19 yards for a touchdown of his own.
This run was arguably his best of the contest as Bresson bobbled the snap and handed it to Lytton with two defenders bearing down. Calmly, with no momentum, Lytton broke those tackles, gained speed and gave the Red Raiders the final points they would need on this night.
This week, he had a simple thing to motivate him.
“We kept (last year’s game) in the back of our minds,” Lytton said of Torrington’s 43-21 loss at home to Naugauck in 2010. “We came out for revenge.”
“Brenden is a special player, simple as that,” added Dunaj. “Nothing he does comes as a surprise to us. We’ve seen it consistently for two years."
Bresson finished with 95 yards passing, with 34 of those going to Langs on three catches.
Yourison finished with 152 yards on 26 carries for the Greyhounds (4-1), scoring all four of their touchdowns.
Torrington will play 3-1 and probable 4-1 Woodland (the Hawks play St. Paul Saturday) next week. In realistic terms, the Red Raiders will need to win out to make the state playoffs.
Friday was a good start.

During the hot summer months, black roofs absorb a lot of heat! Due to this, buildings with black roofs have to crank up the air conditioning to keep up with the rising temperatures. However, white roofs don’t absorb as much heat compared to the black roof. White roofs are an example of “Cool Roofs”. Cool roofs are roofs composed of heat-reflecting materials. Ultimately, white roofs save the building owner money when it comes to air conditioning.
Save money! White roofs are more cost efficient. White roofs last longer than darker roofs. While black roofs absorb heat, white roofs reflect the majority of heat! Due to this contrast in surface temperatures, white roofs prove to last a lot longer than darker roofs and also reduce maintenance costs!
Temperature: When shingles get cold, typically below 50 degrees F, they aren’t able to absorb much impact. Which inevitably causes more damage.
