SALISBURY — The Crimson Knights’ early season basketball struggles continued with a 78-57 loss at home against Trinity Pawling School on Saturday, Dec. 9.

Salisbury School kept even with the Lions for most of the first half before the Pride ran away with it in the second. Trinity Pawling’s superior size created a dominant presence in the paint and gave Salisbury trouble on both ends of the court.

Salisbury School’s Flood Athletic Center was buzzing Dec. 9 with a hockey game against Kent School just across the hall from the basketball court. Fans and students bounced between the two matches for a double feature of Saturday night sports.

Having started the season with four losses, the Knights looked determined to right the ship in front of a home crowd. They played Trinity Pawling close at the start, trusting the zone defense and creating strong scoring opportunities through a pass-first offense. 

Salisbury pulled ahead 21-20 midway through the first when Chris Redhead lobbed an alley-oop to Bailey Coleman. 

Just before halftime, Trinity Pawling caught wind and scored eight unanswered points. Salisbury’s lack of reserve players added to the pressure of the starters, who appeared to be running on fumes after a physical half. 

By the break, the Lions led 40-30.

Fans went back to the hockey game during intermission and Salisbury’s team returned from the locker room looking spent. Trinity kept adding to its double-digit lead as tensions rose on the court. 

With about two minutes to play, Redhead exchanged words with Trinity Pawling forward Benedek Maly. The scuffle resulted in a late shove from Redhead and an immediate ejection by the refs. 

The game concluded 78-57 in favor of Trinity Pawling. The Lions were led in scoring by Jaice Martabano with 27 points. Salisbury’s top scorer was Bailey Coleman with 20 points including a pair of colossal dunks.

Salisbury moved to 0-5 on the season while Trinity Pawling advanced to 2-1. 

The Knights will play their next four games on the road before returning home to host Deerfield Academy on Jan. 13. Tip off is at 5 p.m.

Cornwall Historical Society celebrates Connecticut’s Black patriots

On Saturday, Oct. 24, at the Cornwall Historical Society, author and genealogist John Mills will breathe new life into the stories of some of Connecticut’s more underappreciated patriots. The reason these heroes were forgotten? They were Black.

At a time when white colonists were fighting for their own liberty and political independence, many Black men who fought alongside them remained enslaved. Some risked their lives only to return to bondage. Though enslaved people were promised freedom from both sides of the Revolutionary War in exchange for their service, Great Britain, too, was still deeply dependent on slavery. For Black people in America, the war presented both extraordinary risks and uncertain paths to the freedom that white colonists were demanding for themselves.

You only get one or two of these soul connection dogs, so I do this in his honor.

Stephanie Saetta has spent much of her life caring for others. A physician at White Plains Hospital, she has another calling at home in Salisbury — one that has four legs and a wagging tail. She runs Charlie Chicken Bone Sanctuary, a nonprofit dog rescue that brings dogs from overcrowded pounds and the streets of Texas to foster homes in northwestern Connecticut, where they can begin again.

The sanctuary is named for Charlie, the dog who taught her how special a bond between a person and rescue animal can be.

The Pink House AM is serving up community

The Pink House AM is serving up community

Mare Rubin and Maggie Levine of the Pink House AM.

It all started with a yoga class. Mare Rubin was working on her second act after leaving the Upper West Side, where she’d raised a family and worked in corporate marketing. Newly empty nesters, she and her husband decided to move to the wilds of northwestern Connecticut, where they had spent 15 years as weekenders, to see what life in the woods had in store for them.

Rubin started teaching yoga classes at the Union in West Cornwall, a space designated by the town of Cornwall as a community hub with couches, Wi-Fi, occasional events and a growing yoga class schedule. She was adjusting well but missed one important thing about city life: a casual coffee shop.
