Jason Alves, Park Foreman for East Lyme Parks and Recreation, monitors the progress as he winterizes the irrigation pipes at Peretz Park at Bridebrook in Niantic by using a compressor to blow the water out of the plumbing Monday, November 19, 2018. Alves says the process usually takes all day, and can usually be managed via a computer in his office, but the computer was down today requiring him to visit each of the fields in the park and operate the valves for each irrigation zone manually. Wear spots on several of the fields have been cleared for re-sodding, which will take place next week. Alves expects to be back to irrigating using the water from the park's well in May. (Sean D.

The church, which celebrated its centennial earlier this year, borrowed money to restore the window, one of 10 designed by Louis Comfort Tiffany for the church, because it was too badly deteriorated to wait for the fundraising effort for the restoration of all the windows to bear fruit. The church has launched a major fundraiser to restore the sanctuary´s 10 Tiffany stained-glass windows, each one costing an estimated $30,000. The windows are a bit different from those of other churches, congregation Treasurer Penny Herring told The Day in September, because they don´t depict Biblical images, such as Jesus Christ with the lamb. These windows are colorful geometric patterns. The repaired window was cleaned, re-leaded and repaired at Bovard's workshop in Iowa. (Sean D. Elliot/The Day)
