Model Airplanes

Ed. Note – For those of you who enjoyed this series last year, we’ve decided to change it up for 2018. Instead of focusing our attention on the head coach of our opponent, we’ve opened it up to anyone affiliated with the organization. So, instead of “Dirk Koetter looks like…” you’ll get a collection of jokes about other folks as well. We hope you enjoy this updated format. -BS

To get us prepared for Sunday’s game against the Buccaneers, the CSR staff decided to have a little fun by borrowing the ‘looks like game’ concept from The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz on ESPN.

Ed. Note 2.0 – The Looks Like Game is the best thing that anyone does at ESPN and it’s not even close. If you’ve never experienced it before I highly recommend it. Trust me.

Below is a collection of our best efforts to figure out exactly what/who people from the Bucs organization look like. Feel free to discuss your favorite ones in the comments section, and you can even provide your own if you feel up to it.

Disclaimer: This is all in good fun. We’re not trying to hurt anyone’s feelings here, so if you happen to stumble across this and find your name mentioned, we sincerely hope you understand that we’re mostly kidding.

CSR looks like: Buccaneers edition…

Dirk Koetter looks like he has no idea how email works.

Ryan Fitzpatrick looks like what his kids think cool adults look like.

George W. Agnelli, Sr., 88, of East Hartford, loving husband of 54 years of Eleanor (Chenette) Agnelli, died unexpectedly on Tuesday (October 30, 2018) after a brief courageous battle with leukemia. Born in East Hartford on Belden Street on May 27, 1930, a son of the late Felix and Virginia (DeRobertis) Agnelli, he had been a life-long resident of East Hartford. George was a graduate of East Hartford High School, Class of 1947 and attended Accutron Watch School and Hamilton Watch Schools. George began his professional career at J.H. Anderson Jewelers, Main Street, East Hartford at the age of fourteen. He later became the Owner and Operator of the jewelry store and had maintained that role until his death. It was his love of making model airplanes that brought him to Anderson Jewelers. After working on his parents fruit orchard on McKee Street in East Hartford, he would walk to Anderson Jewelers and buy the balsa wood needed to build his airplanes. George took great pride in his work and was passionate about watchmaking and was devoted to his jewelry store providing the best customer service to all who chose to shop there. George was a proud member of the East Hartford Rotary Club for over 50 years where he served as Vice President and President. He was awarded the prestigious Paul Harris Award three times for his hard work, dedication, and generosity to the community, and as a leading force to every fund raising event sponsored by the Rotary.

Keynote speakers give free flights to World War II, Korean War veterans

For the 19th year, the Farmington community will come together to honor veterans at its Patriotic Day celebration.

The event will be held Nov. 8 at Farmington High School. A free dinner will begin at 5 p.m., followed by a program beginning at 7 p.m.

There will be patriotic music throughout the program, a welcome from Sen. Amy Klobuchar and keynote speakers Jerry and Jana Kyser of Honor Flight Twin Cities.

Jerry Kyser is a U.S. Army combat disabled Vietnam veteran who is chairman of the United Veterans Legislative Council, co-chair of Military Action Group and executive director of the Minnesota Vietnam Veterans Charity.

His wife Jana is a former elementary school teacher and property manager.

The couple founded Honor Flight Twin Cities in 2008. Since its inception, the nonprofit organization has provided 20 charter flights to Washington, D.C.

Honor Flight works to transport World War II and Korean War veterans to the nation’s capital to visit war memorials.

The flight is free for the veterans, and so far, the organization has transported 1,700 veterans and 1,500 guardians.

The Roseville-based couple has received plenty of recognition over the years, but want to keep the focus on the veterans they serve.

LEXINGTON – American Pickers’ stars Mike Wolfe and Frank Fritz are just as nice as you see them on the History Channel TV show, Lexington businessman Timothy Corwin said this week.

“American Pickers” the documentary series that explores the fascinating world of antique picking, filmed an episode on Oct. 25 at Corwin’s farm in Morrow County from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.

“There was four cameras out there all the time. There was lights and sound. It’s all rehearsed,” he said of the fun experience.

The pickers – Mike and Frank – came down his drive as he was leaning over an MG in his garage. He turned around and looked surprised, “like, look who’s here?” he said smiling. 

Corwin said Frank kept calling him Jim instead of Tim so the producer would yell out, “stop.” 

Lexington native Corwin, known worldwide as the singer and original member of the Lexington-Mansfield band, The Ohio Express, which scored five Top 40 hits in the 1960s, operates The Bucket Seat on Orchard Park Road. Pickers did not come to the body shop during filming.

“I knew they would want my ’65 BSA,” he said of the green motorcycle in his shop. “That’s my

Making the perfect paper airplane is no easy task. Unless you’re a professional, you probably picked up a few tricks in elementary school—then promptly forgot them. Or, you’ve found one tried-and-true plane design, but have never been able to create another model that will fly straight.

Whatever your paper airplane skill level is, the Fold ’n Fly online database probably has a few designs you’ve never even heard of. The website, which we spotted through Laura Olin’s eponymous email newsletter, contains instructions for 40 different paper airplane designs, sorted by both difficulty and the goal you want your airplane to achieve, whether that’s maximum distance, extra time aloft, acrobatic stunts, or just looking pretty.

The step-by-step illustrated instructions can teach you how to make a basic airplane like the ones you likely tried to assemble in school (maximizing time aloft) or something more complicated like the stunt plane, which spins through the air when you throw it. You could also embrace a more origami-style approach, creating intricate designs like a folded white dove that barely flies, but will look great on your desk.

If the written instructions are a bit too hard to follow, there are also links to YouTube video instructions and downloadable pages with marked fold guidelines.

Now there’s no excuse for making a bad paper airplane. Explore the database for yourself here.
