KINGSTON – We’ve all been thinking about the number 700 for way too long. That s about the amount of days it’s been since the last time the spring sports teams have played a varsity game.
It’s finally time to erase that number from our collective memory. The athletic fields around Silver Lake Regional High School are buzzing with activity once again as all of the spring teams get ready for a sprint of a shortened regular season.
But while we can see the finish line to the pandemic, this race is not over yet.

KINGSTON – Where there’s a will there’s a way, and young Ariel and the Silver Lake actors who will tell her story, know that very well.
In a unique year, Silver Lake Regional High School s presentation of Disney’s “The Little Mermaid” will be streamed to viewers looking to be entertained.
In the musical adaptation of Disney’s 1989 film, Ariel the curious young mermaid falls for a handsome human prince and agrees to a dangerous bargain with a powerful sea witch, leading to a showdown between good and evil forces which only love can remedy.
Maggie Kunselman, who plays Scuttle, an eccentric seagull and expert on humans, said it has been such a difficult time for everyone, so she’s happy they have been able to overcome the challenges they have faced to present the musical to a live audience, even if the audience is watching from home.
