Salisbury-Sharon Transfer Station

By Patrick L. Sullivan
mated by Anchor at $3,719,843.

The towns are splitting the cost
of the new transfer station, 50
percent each.
Salisbury Board of Finance
Chairman Bill Willis said at the
Oct. 20 meeting that he was confident that Salisburys half of the
costs could be handled with little or no impact
on the mill rate.
A less receptive audience in Sharon heard Tom
Bartram give them an idea of what the project
CONTINUING
CONCERNS
SALISBURY/SHARON
Residents of both Salisbury and
Sharon took a look at the proposal
for a new transfer station in October, as the two-town Transfer
Station Building Committee held
information meetings on Oct. 20 (in Salisbury)
and Oct. 27 (in Sharon).
The Transfer Station Recycling Advisory Committee (TRAC) voted unanimously to support the
plan earlier in October.
The cost of the new transfer station is esti-

Continuing Concerns
Swap Shop survival is important

By Cynthia Hochswender
SALISBURY AND SHARON As the residents of

Salisbury and Sharon debate
what their future shared transfer station will look like, there is
one thing that everyone agrees
on: There has to be a Swap Shop.
New Englanders are famous for their thrift and their
determination to fix, recycle
and reuse whenever possible.
The Swap Shop is the physical
manifestation of that mindset. For many Salisbury and

Sharon residents, every trip
to the transfer station includes
at least a brief scan of whats
on the shelves and floor of the
long, narrow room.
Always there is a large selection of books, from obscure
and ancient textbooks to new
paperbacks and everything
in between (including lots of
mysteries and cookbooks).
There is sporting equip-
ment, decorative items that

range from kitschy to classic,
old 33 records, cassettes and
audio CDs. There are baskets,
flowerpots, cooking gear and
mechanical equipment of
various vintages.
Transfer Station Manager
Brian Bartram shed light on
some of the mysteries of the
Swap Shop in a recent interview.

FALLS VILLAGE The

parts of the new Amesville (or
Water Street) bridge, which
connects Salisbury to Falls
Village over the Housatonic
River, arrived in the first week
of October. The new sections
were lifted into place by crane
on Oct. 27. It was looking
good for the long-anticipated
opening of the bridge to traffic
on Dec. 15.
But on Nov. 2, at the regular

monthly meeting of the Salisbury Board of Selectmen, First
Selectman Curtis Rand had
bad news: The bridge would
almost certainly not open as
scheduled.
The problems are many.
The entire schedule was delayed several weeks when the
initial low bidder dropped out,
and the state Department of
Transportation had to evaluate
the next-lowest bid.

There are parts of the

bridge that have to be installed
and then painted, Rand said.
Only then can the concrete
deck be poured. And with the
weather getting colder, both
painting and concrete work
become less and less feasible.
The state Department of
Transportation closes all jobs
on Dec. 1 and reopens April
1, Rand said.
FALLS VILLAGE Evan W.,

a 31-year-old man from White
Plains, N.Y., described his progression from smoking marijuana and drinking alcohol in high
school, to being a full-fledged
heroin addict in his late 20s, to a
group of students at Housatonic
Valley Regional High School on
Monday, Nov. 30.
Evan was with Jimmy Hughto and Brittanie Decker from
Mountainside Treatment Center
in North Canaan.
Evan attended a big high
school in White Plains, with

4,000 students. I was exposed
to a lot of stuff some good,
some bad.
In early adolescence he began
to feel confused, uncomfortable,
unsure of myself.
He started using marijuana
and drinking and he liked it.
It filled the void, he said.
It made me feel comfortable,
confident.
And this discovery took him
on a journey he now regrets.
Once I realized I could
change the way I felt, I didnt lose
that for years.
For the next 15 years, he devoted himself to using alcohol

and drugs.
Evan was kicked out of his
high school and sent to the bad
kids school, where he made
connections with people who
had gone beyond the alcohol
and marijuana stage.
Evan began writing graffiti,
and this led to a respite of sorts
when an art teacher took him
aside and taught him about
drawing and painting enough
so Evan was able to get into art

Architecture critic Goldberger at Forum

By Leon Graham
SALISBURY Architecture
is the art that is around us and
with us every day. We live in and
with the built environment. It
has the power to perplex, anger,
enthrall, delight, even awe us; its
effects set the tone of cities across
the globe, the way their people
live, and reflects what matters to
them and their cultures.

Thrifts appeal is evident at towns transfer station

Continued from Page A1
One such mystery is how
often the items in the shop are
cleared out.
It depends on the time of
year, Bartram said. Its cleaned
out more frequently in summer
than in winter, because we have
more business in summer. The
summer people are here, so there
is a larger group of people using
the transfer station.
But its also a logistical thing:
Its easier to access stuff in your
garage or your shed in spring,
summer and fall than in winter.
If its something small from a
closet or a bookshelf, people will
bring that in, but no one wants
to schlep a lot of stuff in and out
of the car in 20-degree weather.
At this time of year, he said,
the shop gets cleaned out about
once or twice a week. By winter,
that drops to once a week. In
summer, it can be cleaned out
completely by Friday and by
Sunday you can barely walk
through there, theres so much
stuff. And thats a safety hazard,
which is part of the problem with
that space.
There is a bit of an editing
process. With dishes and ceramics, for example, the transfer
station attendants will often go
through and throw items that
are chipped or cracked into the
regular garbage hopper.
Things should be in working
order if people want to leave
them in the Swap Shop, Bartram
said.If its something that can be
fixed, well, thats not really what
this is for. It should be for things
that are readily reusable.
Bartram also requested that
patrons not bring in piles of old
magazines.
Those should go into the
recycle bin. Having said that,
someone once brought in a
boxed set of a years worth of
National Geographics, all in nice

shape. Someone might want to
take those home. But dont bring
in two or three back issues, no
one really wants that. And dont
bring in encyclopedias.
Clothing is often left in the
Swap Shop. Whatever isnt picked
up right away usually ends up
in the clothing bins. The same
happens with many of the books
that are left at the shop. They are
picked up by companies that
recycle them or sell them in bulk.
For clothing especially, If
its dirty, dont bring it in. If its
washed and clean and in good
shape, bring it. If its ripped or
torn, put it in the clothing bins
and it can be turned into new
clothing or shredded and sold
as rags or insulation.
The Transfer Station earns
$100 per ton for the textiles
collected in the clothing bins
and $60 per ton for books in the
book bin.
That helps us offset the cost
of running the transfer station.
Now that its ski season, one
might get lucky and find a pair
of skis or pole.
Usually, though, we get skis
in spring. We get a lot of baseball bats and sometimes we get
baseball gloves.
PHOTOS BY CYNTHIA HOCHSWENDER
The Swap Shop is sometimes very clean and quiet, as in the

left photo, shortly after the overflow of items has been cleared
out. It can also overflow with people and items, as in the photo
at right, taken on the Sunday after Thanksgiving.
The best cookware that comes
into the Swap Shop is the cast iron
skillets and pots, Bartram said.
People take them home and
season them and cook with them.
Or they can be sold as scrap
metal. But most of the cookware
people bring is no good. A lot of
the Teflon pans that come in have
the coating scraped off them.
They should just go in the metal box although sometimes
people just leave their pans in
the Swap Shop because the metal
box is closed on Sunday. People

Continuing
Concerns
Road crew
SHARON For several
years, and through the tenures
of several boards of selectmen,
there have been concerns and
conversation about the maintenance of the town roads. Former
First Selectman Bob Loucks
made the roads a central part
of his election platform in 2009.
Those concerns seem to be a
thing of the past now. The current board, under the leadership
of First Selectman Brent Colley,
has quietly shifted personnel
around in the past few years to
the point where everything seems
to be rolling along nicely.
Bob Carberry was named
town crew chief this summer.
The selectmen created a clear
list of expectations for town
crew workers and worked hard
to make sure those expectations
are met.
In an interview with The
Lakeville Journal, Colley said that
after first taking office in 2013,
within eight months it became
clear to me that accountability
was an issue and we lacked a systematic approach to operations.
The selectmen sent a letter
to the town crew in 2014 that
explained what we expected
from them and what the consequences would be if the expectations were not met, Colley
said. From that point forward
we were persistent in standing
behind those expectations and
working toward a system that
increased productivity and held
people accountable for the jobs
they are employed to do.
A work order form was also
created. Each one lists a description of the job being done; all
crew members who work on
each project sign-off the work
order so its clear who is doing
what and when.
The work order was implemented to take productivity and
accountability to the next level
and has been both successful and
helpful to all parties, Colley said.
I am very proud of the crew
we presently have and pleased
by the progress we have made
as a unit.

Arising from what used to be a mini shopping and business
strip is a stately new Colonial-style building. Now part of the
Sharon Country Inn, owned by the Cania brothers (who also
own Mizzas Pizza in Lakeville), the structure will include a
gym, conference center and additional rooms. The work is
expected to be complete by March.
shouldnt do that. The Swap Shop

is not a dumping ground.
In the plans for the new
transfer station, the Swap Shop
is supposed to get quite a bit
more space.
We hope to have shelving
there, too, Bartram said.
For the environment, recycling and reusing things is very
good and incinerating things is
very bad.

A very Purdy holiday card for Sharon Health Care

By Lizett Pajuelo
SHARON A damp, quiet

day made a perfect opportunity
to sit back and share a conversation with Sharon Health Care
Center Resident Artist Eve Purdy.
Eve Purdy grew up in Alabama, but moved to Sharon when
she was 21 years old; she has lived
in the area for roughly 50 years.
A Sharon Health Care Center resident for five years, she
began painting when she was
11 years old. The main theme
of her paintings which hang
in the hallways of the center
are flowers, but she also enjoys
painting landscapes and has done
several portraits.
As she moved down the hallway, offering a tour of her work,
Purdy said, My style? All things
bright and beautiful.

She creates a bright palette
and said she prefers using acrylic
paints. Her paintings are done
from photos. It takes her an
average of a week to complete
a painting.
She uses special, pre-stretched
canvases with finished edges so
they can be hung without being
framed.
This year, for the first time,
Eve was invited by Sharon Health
Care Center Administrator John
Horstman to design a holiday
card for the center.
The painting she created for
the card has a Christmas tree
with a candle on top, and the
candlelight glows in the shape
of a heart.
Director of Therapeutic Recreation Jacqui Sweet said Purdy
also makes jewelry. She has also

customized T-shirts, creating
stamps from leaves taken off
trees.
Purdy also edits The Good
News, a newsletter about life at
the center, with biographies of
staff and residents, poems and
artwork.
Purdy decided to do the
newsletter because she felt there
should be a publication with positive news, not just the bad news
usually found in newspapers and
on television.
There are hero stories. Fascinating stories. Someone ought
to write about them, she said.
Sweet is happy to see how
involved Purdy is in her community.
People who live here want to
have a purpose, she said.

is underway here, with tees and
baskets installed at about half of
the holes of the planned 18-hole
course on a town greenway.
It took a village to get the
sport started, with fundraising
(mostly though business sponsors); ongoing clearing and
maintenance of the existing town
greenway trail; and persistence
over the last couple of years by
enthusiasts Ronnie Lizana of
Cornwall Bridge and Israel Fitch
of Torrington. They saw a perfect
mix here of challenging terrain
and a desire in the community
to renew interest in the towns
system of greenways.
The project even became part
of an Eagle Scout project.
Tie-ins with local businesses
are expected by spring.
Newly arrived at Stadium
Systems across the street from
the course is an assortment of
discs for sale, and information
about the sport.
Camp Brook Disc Golf will
be open to the public at no
charge, and will remain open
through the winter months as
long as the trail is accessible.
However, Lizana is recommending that for now, since
there is still work being done on
the course, its probably better
if only experienced players use
for next June; until then, Lizana said, it is best if the general
public waits until the work
is done before giving it a try.

For those who go now,
parking for the course is to
the right of Caddie Shack at

the Camp Brook Trail head
on Ashley Falls Road/Route 7.
Town must increase education

budget to avoid a state fine
An 18-hole disc golf course

is under very low-key construction by volunteers on
the Camp Brook Greenway
Trail in North Canaan. It is
expected to be ready for full
play next spring, though experienced players can make
use of the course now.
the course. Signs havent been
installed yet, and it will be
challenging for anyone new to
the game to get the hang of it
at this point.
A grand opening is planned

NORTH CANAAN The Connecticut Food Bank Mobile Food
Pantry has a monthly free food distribution in North Canaan on the
third Thursday of the month, from 9:30 to 10:45 a.m. at St. Josephs

NORTH CANAAN Men and women who are serving in the
military and veterans, especially those who came under attack at
Pearl Harbor, will be honored during a service at the Doughboy
Monument on Main Street on Dec. 7 at 4 p.m.
For more information, call 860-824-5854 or 860-671-1892.
NORTH CANAAN A
town meeting will be held
Tuesday, Dec. 8, at 7:30 p.m.
at Town Hall to seek a $22,920
appropriation toward the education budget.
Town officials do not plan
to spend the money. But earmarking the funds will ward
off a penalty from the state
Department of Education,
which found North Canaan
in violation of the Minimum
Budget Requirement law.
Under the statute, towns
need to spend at least a small
percentage more on education
than in the prior years It is
meant to discourage towns
from spending Education Cost
Sharing grants on non-school
needs. North Canaan Elementary School (NCES) receives
an annual $2.2 million in
much-needed funding.
Explaining what happened
to the state board has been
futile. At issue is the lumping together of a savings in the Region

For 2015, an
audit but no
town report
NORTH CANAAN There
will be no annual town report
this year.
The Board of Finance, which
normally issues the booklet full
of updates from local organizations, has declined to do so.
Instead, it will do the minimum
required by law and publish the
audit of town accounts. The audit will be available at the town
clerks office and online at www.
northcanaan.org.
As in other towns, North
Canaans town report has long
been an expanded collection of
town information and reports
from boards, commissions and
other organizations in town and
in the region.
The finance board has been
scaling back in recent years, not
on content, but on the number of
printed copies, because there are
usually so many left over.
But there have also been issues
of reports coming out later than
usual in recent years. Residents
were long in the habit of picking
up a copy when they went to
Town Hall to vote. The reports
were accepted at the annual town
meeting not long after.

Giant Santas and plenty of ho ho ho at Parade of Lights

NORTH CANAAN The
annual Parade of Lights, held
Nov. 29, was the biggest yet.
Organized by the Canaan Fire
Company (CFC), the festive
outing attracts firetrucks and all
sorts of other vehicles bedecked
with twinkling lights and holiday
decorations.
There were about three dozen
this year, counting CFCs antique
firetruck that brought up the
rear with Santa Claus, who later
greeted children at the vendor
fair at North Canaan Elementary
School.
Traffic was stopped in the
center of town, and those who
had to wait for a few minutes
while the parade rolled down
Main and Railroad streets got a
treat, along with the spectators
who lined the streets.
Among the entries was the
Morris Volunteer Fire Departments beach scene, with Santa
sitting high in a lifeguard chair
overlooking a tropical beach with
hula dancers and palm trees.
There were just as many local
families and businesses coming
up with unique floats.
From Amenia, the Voorhees
family brought its amazing
train, complete with locomotive,
caboose, Santas sleigh cargo and
lights that danced to holiday
music.
Laurelbrook Farm in East
Canaan dressed up one of its
John Deere tractors with Santa
appearing to turn a windup
key to make it go. It was quite
the sight, given its size. At more
than 12 feet high, and with tires
taller than the average adult, it
is reportedly the largest tractor
in the state.

New bulbs,
ballasts will
bring down
energy costs
By Karen Bartomioli
NORTH CANAAN Another energy efficiency upgrade

at North Canaan Elementary
School has been proposed It will
cost $133,255 to retrofit light
bulbs and ballasts throughout
the school.
School board members discussed the proposal at their Nov.
12 meeting. Principal Rosemary
Keilty explained the upgrade is
a recommendation from JK Energy Solutions, which conducted
an energy audit at the school
through Eversource (formerly
Connecticut Light & Power).
A prior audit resulted in a
change to 32-watt bulbs, motion
sensors in hallways and LED lighting over classroom exterior doors.
The latest recommendation is
for 16.5 watt LED bulbs.
A ballast supplies a brief burst
of the higher voltage needed to
start fluorescent lamps, then
regulates the current to provide
steady light. Newer ballasts
should increase efficiency.
The cost includes an LED
upgrade to the seven pole lights
in the bus circle, which are the
biggest electrical draw at the
school. More sensors will also be
installed, including new ones in
restrooms that detect not only
motion but also sound.
All equipment comes with a
five-year warranty. Board members predicted there would be a
cost saving by having all the new
ballasts installed at once as
opposed to incurring periodic
maintenance bills to replace old
ones as they fail.
Board Chairman Karen Riccardelli asked what happens after
five years, but was assured all of
the lighting equipment can be
expected to last beyond that.
While the cost adds up quickly, so do the savings an estimated $20,627 annually.
There is also a $49,525 Conservation Fund incentive from
the utility company. The remaining $83,730 would be financed
by Eversource as a four-year,
no-interest, government-mandated loan. Monthly payments
of $1,744 would be added to the
schools electric bill.
The loan payments add up
to just slightly more than the
expected savings.
A vote is expected at the Dec.
10 meeting.

Continuing Concerns
Union Station rebuild

NORTH CANAAN Construction on the final phase
of work to reopen Canaan Union Station was set to begin
by now, with plans completed and five bids submitted by
general contractors.
But just as the plans were mired in red tape for an extended
period, the same is happening with the bids at the state Department of Transportation (DOT), which is administering
a significant federal appropriation toward the project.
At issue is the percentage of work that will be subcontracted,
which doesnt align with DOT road construction standards
that were inappropriately applied.

Library renovation
Continuing Concerns
Lime Rock Park

LIME ROCK In September, Lime Rock Park went to court
to try to amend the injunction governing the days and hours of
operation at the auto racing track. Alarmed neighbors formed
the Lime Rock Citizens Council to oppose the tracks moves.
Meanwhile the Planning and Zoning Commission took up
proposed amendments to the towns zoning regulations concerning the track the major bone of contention being a proposal
to insert the language of the 1959 injunction (and subsequent
amendments) directly into the regulations.
There were two lengthy public hearings on the topic (on Sept.
8 and continued on Oct. 19) during which residents spent a lot
of time talking about Sunday racing and noise instead of the
proposed changes to the regulations despite PZC Chairman
Michael Klemens repeated instructions to the contrary.
The commission met Nov. 19 and the regulations were added.

SALISBURY During the Fall Festival (Oct. 10-12), if you

stuck your head in the Wardell Community Room of the Scoville
Memorial Library (on the lower level), you saw the early stages
of the librarys renovation.
Out front, there is a sculpture of a stack of books, designed
and built by Craig Pecchia. The wood sculpture measures the
librarys progress on its Campaign to Connect fundraising effort.
The renovation project will connect the downstairs rooms
with the main library, upgrade the librarys interior and create
a new Childrens Library and Garden. The Library is working
with Poesis Design of Salisbury and Burlington Construction of
Torrington on this $1 million project.
As of Thanksgiving week, according to library board President
Noel Sloan, a hole for the new staircase has been cut in the main
floor and the outline of the new childrens library is now apparent.

The wild and famous Flood of 1955

SALISBURY Roads were

washed out, bridges destroyed,
and parental influence was greatly
diminished during the Flood of
1955.
Lou Bucceri, for the Salisbury
Association Historical Society, led
a discussion and lecture about the
flood at Town Hall on Saturday,
Nov 21.
The talk (co-sponsored by the
Scoville Memorial Library) relied
on material from the Historical
Societys oral history project, the
librarys archives and memories
shared by residents who were
around for the flood.
The rain kept coming
Bucceri started with two
National Weather Service maps,
showing the rainfall from two
hurricanes that came in quick
succession.
The first, Hurricane Connie,
ran from Aug. 11 to 14, and
dumped between 8 and 9 inches
in the Northwest Corner.
Bucceri said, This was bad,
but not catastrophic.
There was enough water,
though, that it saturated the
ground.
Hurricane Diane, which raged
from Aug. 17 to 20, was a different
story. Our neck of the woods
absolutely got hammered, with
rainfall of 16 to 20 inches.
And with the ground already
sodden, the rain had nowhere to
go but down.
Bucceri had a copy of the
1956 town report, which has
an account of the flood by First
Selectman Bill Barnett.
This included a photo of
Hamzys service station (now
Lakeville Automotive on Main
Street) in the middle of the night,
with flood waters rising against
the garage door.
Stranded for days
It was mayhem everywhere in
town. Bucceri told of reports of
three feet of water over the Burton
Brook bridge; that Lake Wononscopomuc was six inches away
from flooding over into Factory
Pond; that Nancy (Smith) Bushnell, whose father had just started
as the doctor at The Hotchkiss
School, recalled being unable to
get off the hill for several days.
The bridge at Selleck Hill was
damaged. Seventy-five feet of
Lincoln City Road was taken out
by Pettee Brook.
On the Housatonic River, the
water came within inches of the
Amesville bridge and took out
part of the deck. (The bridge was
closed for six months.)
On Falls Mountain Road, 400
feet of the road washed out, as
did Between the Lakes Road from
Twin Lakes to Smith Hill.
Landslides along the Housatonic and at Twin Lakes, some
carrying six feet of mud, took
out roadways and houses even
launching sleeping people, still in
their beds, out into the elements.
Amazingly, nobody was killed.
Bucceri, working from oral
history records, quoted Agatha
Dakin of Amesville, who remembered a retired naval officer turned dairy farmer in that
section of town, which is on the
shores of the Housatonic. Cut
off in either direction, and with
cows that needed milking, the
farmer delivered milk to similarly
stranded residents.
The late Bill Binzen, living on
Brinton Hill, had recalled that
water came about 150 feet up
Brinton Hill Road.
We were absolutely on our
own mountaintop world for three
or four days.
Lime Rock was a mess, with
300 feet of Lime Rock Road
(including the bridge over the
Salmon Kill) gone, and the old
Barnum-Richardson mill destroyed.
Bucceri said the town had been
trying to sell the abandoned mill.
Not after this.
Evelyn Bellini remembered a
Mr. Shaw in Lime Rock, who had
made a diorama of the iron forge.
Her children swam over to the
Shaw house over the hedges
and rescued the diorama, putting
it in a rowboat.
Then they fetched Mr. and
Mrs. Shaw.
Damages: over $2 million
Barnetts figures for damages: $253,578 ($149,370 public; $104,208 private) which
is $2,228,956 in 2015 dollars.
Bucceri said the figure, which
is simply adjusted for inflation

and considers no other factors, is
probably an underestimate.
People in the audience had their
own stories to tell. Ed Dorset said
he was 13 at the time and lived on
the relatively high ground near
Trinity Lime Rock church. His
family was returning from a trip
to Pennsylvania and did not realize
the extent of the damage until they
got to the Northwest Corner.
The bridge over the Salmon
Kill was gone. Somehow his
mother and sisters were brought
across, but he couldnt remember
what he and his father did.
Carol Kastendiecks family
had just bought the old Selleck
mill on the Wachocastinook
Brook, coming off Mount Riga.
The building had no running
water, no electricity, and about
200 years of dirt.
A dam went in the middle
of the night, and for a week the
family lugged buckets up to the
house for flushing toilets.
And some nice memories
Across the street at the Sellecks
house, everybody had a stewpot
going on Sellecks eight-burner
wood stove, she said.
Jim Dresser was at his familys
camp on Mount Riga during the
flood. He was also 13 years old.
It was the best three weeks of
my life as all parental discipline
broke down, he said.
The water was three or four
feet over the South Pond spillway.
By comparison, today we think
it remarkable to get three or four
inches.
The adults decided the teenagers would go to town for provisions. Dressers mother requested
a loaf of bread and a bottle of rye
whiskey.
The youths made it to town
and Dresser convinced Bud
Trotta at the liquor store to sell
him the rye.
By this time the adults had
thought things through a little
better and were worried the dam
might give out as the teens made
their way back.

So they gathered on one side
of the raging brook and waited.
Dresser encountered some
difficulty getting across. I hit a
pot hole and down I went.
He emerged with the loaf of
bread intact, but just the neck of
the whiskey bottle.

Frank Collin (this reporters
grandfather) immediately ran
downstream and started drinking.
Henceforth that stretch of
stream was known as Whiskey
Bend.

Cornwall
Students wonder, should Columbus have his own day?

By Karen Bartomioli
CORNWALL A timely
look at whether or not Columbus Day should continue to be
observed spurred a lively debate
among fifth-graders at Cornwall
Consolidated School.
Social studies teacher Will
Vincent looks for ways to get his
students involved with ongoing
issues and current events, drawing correlations with history.
As part of their study of first
Americans, they wrote to the
towns selectmen to ask them to
join in their debate and consider
a town ordinance to change the
name of the holiday. The class
voted 10 to 1 to support reconsideration of the honor bestowed
on the explorer.
I get that he got here by accident, said Ellie Sanders, during
a recent interview with the class,
but he shouldnt have killed
people so ruthlessly. He should
have realized he was not where he
wanted to go and turned around.
Her twin brother, Henry, engaged her in more debate about
the reasons, even though they
both came to the same conclusion. Maybe it was a sibling thing,
but it illustrated how deeply the
students had considered their
decisions.
Columbus Day, celebrated on
the second Monday in October,
has been a federal holiday since
1937. That allowed for 445 years
of folklore to define his role in
discovering the new world. The
facts do not uphold that, with
numerous explorers believed to
have arrived prior to 1492, and
Columbus actually never making
it to the mainland and what is
now North America.
Proponents of the name
change also wonder how anyone
could have discovered a place
already inhabited by millions.
Some towns and states have
already switched to names such
as Indigenous Peoples Day,
turning it around to be a nod to
native Americans who were often
killed or enslaved at the hands of
Columbus.
It was Columbus attitudes
that seemed to make the strongest impression on the students,
who spoke about it recently in
their classroom.
Their decision, as a class,
to support a name change was
not unanimous among the 11
students.
Spencer Markow offered a
solid argument for honoring
Columbus for bringing together
two parts of the world.
No matter how their effort
turns out, they proved they were
willing to dig deep and remain
objective in the face of much
public debate.
I do not believe it was his
fault, said Melody Matsudaira,
who admitted to being swayed
just a bit due to her Italian
ancestry. He was told to come

Continuing
Concerns
Septic
CORNWALL The need for
a new way to deal with sewage
in the center of West Cornwall
is about to be addressed by a
regional consultant who has
done this before.
It is giving new hope that the
village can be revitalized. A local
committee is being appointed
and will begin working with the
consultant this winter.

CORNWALL
CALENDAR
She felt there could be an

Indigenous Peoples Day, in addition to Columbus Day, because
it would be rude to take it away.
Wolf Shepard would prefer
a day in honor of Leif Erikson,
who came here and didnt kill
anyone.
Aramis Oyanadel took issue
with the way Columbus appears
to have treated not only the
natives, but also his own crew.
Evan Jeans echoed that.
He didnt care what his crew
even thought and didnt listen
when they told him they were not
in India and should keep going.
He never actually set foot in
North America, Nathan Benjamin said. He landed in the
Bahamas first.
There was already document-
ed evidence that Europeans knew

by then the world was not flat,
the students noted, saying that
he should not be credited with
that discovery.
Columbus just took land that
didnt belong to him, Thea West
said. That would be like any of
us going into peoples houses and
saying theyre ours.
Columbus didnt even think
they were people. He was not
a nice person, Henry said,
adding that he changed their
lives dramatically. They didnt
understand about bacteria and
disease. They thought they were
getting sick because they had
done something to make the
gods angry with them.
The natives welcomed Christopher Columbus and showed
him their ways, Peter Gorat said.

But he killed a lot of them and
took others as slaves.
They spoke of differences
and discrimination and how it
applies to the world and their
own lives today.
Nothings really changed.
Thats the problem, Melody said.
Will the selectmen consider
their proposed change?
I think it will be reviewed
carefully. Weve been watching
videos of their meetings and they
spend a lot of time discussing
things, Quinn Hedden said.
This includes other towns and
states, so they need to look at
that, too.
As far as other input, neither Vincent nor his students
received any negative feedback
Cornwall Consolidated School fifth-graders displayed posters they made during their study of Christopher Columbus.
for exploring the issue or for
their majority decision. Parents
became involved in the debate
and were reportedly very receptive to the reasoning presented
by their children.
While this plays out, the students will begin to study other
world explorers.
Hardware, lumber, paint and friendly familiar faces

CORNWALL The future
of the Northeast Building Supply
lumberyard may be in question,
but the hardware store and paint
center remain vital, with plans to
improve and grow.
For many, it will always be
known as Northwest Lumber
and Hardware, its name prior to
the purchase by the Bridgeport,
Conn.-based parent company.
A local feel persists, thanks to
people like Rick Kearns, who
manages the store in the center
of Cornwall Bridge.
The corporate headquarters
told Kearns and The Lakeville
Journal they have no intention
of closing the store or paint center. Actions speak louder than
words, and Kearns is busier than
ever revamping display areas to
accommodate products that were
sold at the lumberyard, such as
siding, roofing and ship lap.
As for lumber, the yard located
a short distance south on Route 7
is in limbo; there is now a court
battle over insurance, following
the Jan. 12 fire that destroyed it.
Local contractors are still able
to get the basics they need at the
store. Meeting that demand is a
dance Kearns is leading smoothly.
Manager Rick Kearns rang

up customers at Northeast
Building Supply.
Because of the lawsuit, Kearns
said they dont even have access
to the lumberyard property, and
there is little extra room at the
hardware store.
These guys wear so many
hats. They are swinging hammers
during the day and going home to
work on billing and job estimates.
They just dont have the time to
think about ordering materials
ahead, he said. They are used to
being able to swing by and pick
up what they need for whatever
work they are doing that day. I
try to anticipate their needs, and

keep as much basic product on

hand as we have room for in our
warehouse over here. Our sister
yard in Bridgeport is great about
getting lumber here quickly.
Kearns remembers that when
he started at the business in 1986,
trees were just being cleared for
the yard.
Weve grown so much since
then, we dont want to lose that
business. And we dont want our
customers to have to make an
hour trip to get what they need.
In the hardware store, the
space-gobbling kitchen displays
are being removed to make way
for a window and door showroom, and the floor plan will be
reconfigured to accommodate a
consolidation of products.
Area residents have been
offering advice throughout the
process, Kearns said. He is hopeful
that such interactions will bump
up the retail business, which he
estimated is about 15 percent of
the overall business.
There are plenty of ways to
buy local there, from toilet paper
to holiday gift shopping. For the
latter, think bird feeders, small
appliances, car care, jar candles,
fireplace logs and, of course, tools.
The front shelves were removed to open up the front of the

store and make way for a better
display of seasonal items. It will
soon be filled with Christmas
lights, ornaments and wreaths.
At the Benjamin Moore Paint
Center next door, Manager Pete
Calhoun also does a good busi-
ness with contractors, and can

offer expert advice for anyone.
They have a computerized color
match system.
All you have to do is bring
in a sample, he said, and I can
shoot a picture and mix up an
exact match.

Champagne, gingerbread as Kent prepares for holidays

By Lizett Pajuelo
KENT Cold weather could

not prevent a night of fun in the
center of town on Saturday, Nov.
28. A spotlight on the cloudy
night sky by the Swift House
marked the registration center
for the third annual Kent Champagne Stroll.
Main Street stayed busy with
friends and neighbors meeting
up inside and outside stores to
share conversations and compare
the champagnes theyd tasted at
participating stores. Groups of

people traveled around together,
following directions from the
Champagne Stroll map. It felt
like Halloween trick-or-treating
for adults, as they collected a new
taste of champagne at each store.
The two-day event, held on
Nov. 27 and 28, had its largest
turnout ever this year, with a
total of 1,400 visitors the
majority of whom are not Kent
residents according to threeyear volunteer Toni Soule.
Last night alone we had 930
visitors, Soule said on Saturday,

of Fridays attendance.
Last year the event saw 1,000
visitors throughout both days.
She said it felt wonderful to hear
people say they plan to return
for next years champagne walk.
Stores participating for the
first time were enthusiastic about
the positive energy of the two
nights. Maryalyce Merrit, at the
new Tea and Dreams, served a
Segura Viudas Brut Reserva.
Its super fun! she said.

By Cynthia Hochswender
KENT Connie Manes will

join the Housatonic Valley Associations Litchfield Hills Greenprint Collaborative in January,
where she will join The Lakeville
Journals Natures Notebook
columnist, Tim Abbott.
Manes will continue in her
part-time role as executive director of the Kent Land Trust and
she will remain the principal of
Manes Consulting.
Manes moved to Kent in September 2003 with her husband,
Adam. They have three sons,
Jules, Woody and Fuller. They are
all at Kent Center School.
My husband and I both
grew up in Armonk, N.Y., in the
small neighborhood of Windmill
Farms, she said, explaining her
interest in preservation and
open space.
I trace my conservation ethic
to my childhood and to lessons
imparted by my parents, who
both valued open space and
volunteered as civil servants,
she said. And I hope to inspire
the same values in our children.
A 1990 graduate of Williams
College, she earned a law degree
from New York University and
a Masters Degree in Public
Administration from Pace University.
Connie is a great friend and
superb conservation partner,
Abbott said. Her reputation in
the land trust community, her
facilitation skills and conservation expertise, would be assets
in any organization, but are
especially prized in collaborative
work like ours involving many
interests and stakeholders. Im
excited to be working even more
closely with her as she helps the
Greenprint and its members take
our regional partnership to new
levels of conservation success.
The Housatonic Valley Association was founded in 1941 to
protect the entire Housatonic
River Watershed.
The watershed includes
about 2,000 square miles of
land stretching from western
Massachusetts through western
Connecticut and eastern New

York to Long Island Sound,
according to a press release from
the organization.
The HVA is the host partner
of the Greenprint Collaborative,
which was founded in 2004 and
whose mission is to aid area
conservation organizations.
The Collaboratives overarching goal is to safeguard half
of the northwest Connecticut
regions remaining farmland,
woods and drinking water reserves at least 70,000 acres
by 2030, according to the
press release.
Manes will strengthen the
collaborative network, build
community awareness, and help
tee up important land conserva-
tion initiatives, according to the

news release.
I am really very excited about
this, Manes said in an email
interview last week. I feel like
it is a very natural extension
of the work I have been doing
since 2008 when I joined the
Kent Land Trust as its executive
director and began consulting
on the side to provide capacity
building services to other community land trusts.
The volunteers and staff of
our area land trusts are terrific to
work with extremely professional and dedicated, and with a
clear love for the northwest Connecticut landscape. Im looking
forward to helping us all make a
greater impact together.

school is a dynamic time of life,
when we meet new people, define our tastes and interests, and
establish our personalities. Yet
for a few students, high school
simply enriches the people they
have been all along.
Patrick Kennedy grew up on
his family farm in Cornwall, and
throughout his time in Region
One schools, his experiences
have enhanced his understanding
of agriculture and clarified his
vision of what he would like to
do in that field.
While attending Cornwall
Consolidated School (CCS),
Patrick extended his knowledge of
agricultural machinery through a
school project. Peter Selino, the
custodian at CCS, helped Patrick
rebuild a motor for the assignment, and later donated a 1973
Suzuki motorcycle to Patrick for
more extensive tinkering.
Patrick carries that experimental spirit into his Agricultural
Engineering class, where he learns
to repair tractors and other large
farm equipment, but with a richer
appreciation for the engineering
and design behind them. His
other favorite subject is mathematics, and he is beginning to
consider a career as a mechanical
engineer, where he can combine
these passions.

ADDICTION
school in Boston.
But by this time, he said,
the pattern of substance abuse
and spending his time with
like-minded people was firmly
in place.
And it was in Boston that
Evan was introduced to opiates
first in the form of prescription medications such as OxyContin, and then heroin.
It didnt take long for Evan
to become physically addicted.
When I got involved with
pills I had no clue. Within a
month I was physically addicted.
If he couldnt find a supply
of the drug, he experienced
withdrawal symptoms.
There is nothing worse than
going through drug withdrawal,
he said.
His life deteriorated. To
finance his addiction, Evan
stole from friends, family and
employers.
I thought I was this big, bad,
streetwise person. But I was a
complete drug addict.
During the final five years
of his addiction, heroin was the
primary drug.
Evan had a few things to say
about how this all happened.
He said that for him, marijuana and alcohol were gateway
drugs, because once I crossed
the threshold he saw no reason to refuse other drugs when
offered, such as cocaine or PCP.
He said in high school, when
his substance abuse began in
earnest, he developed a mental
obsession with getting high.
And as painful as physical
withdrawal can be, Evan said the
mental obsession was the most
difficult thing to overcome.
He returned several times in
his talk to the realization that he
had wasted 15 years.
All I cared about was hanging
out with stupid people, drinking,
using drugs, and chilling.
Evan noted that during his
high school years, heroin was not
commonly used by young people.
There is heroin in high
schools now, he said. If I had
access to it then, I probably
wouldnt be here now.
He warned of the dangers
of heroin. Old losers like me
dont die. Its young and talented
people with everything going for
them who die.
Continuing Concerns
Heroin
LAKEVILLE Amid mounting concern over heroin use in the

Northwest Corner, a new advocacy group, the United Coalition
of Northwest Connecticut, held
two informational meetings
one in North Canaan on Oct. 3,
and another in Sharon on Nov. 5.
Founder Brian Ohler of North
BRIDGE
Weve discussed this with
Falls Village, and the feeling is
were close, lets get it done well
and right, Rand said.
The news was not received
well in the Amesville section
of Salisbury. In a letter to The
Lakeville Journal published Nov.
12, the Amesville Association said
its members were dismayed and
angered by the delay.
Four years without a bridge
is unconscionable.
STATION
would mean to taxpayers. Using
the 2014 grand list, the loan of
approximately $1.8 million over
a 20-year period (at an interest
rate under 3 percent) would add
$54.09 to the annual property
tax bill for a house assessed at
$325,000; for a 30-year loan,
it would add $50.54; over 40
years, $34. (Bartram emphasized
the figures were for reference
purposes.)
On Nov. 2, the Sharon selectmen agreed not to proceed
to a town meeting vote on the
transfer station proposal right
away. A meeting with the building committee was held at which
Sharon residents offered ideas
for ways to redesign the planned
facility to reduce the cost.
Salisbury and Sharon at
present share a transfer station
in Salisbury, on property owned
by The Hotchkiss School. The
towns lease the land, and the
lease will end in 2020. The school
has new plans for that property
and will not renew the lease.
The search of a site for a new
transfer station went on for
several years. The towns eventually settled on a piece of land at
Dimond Road in Salisbury, near
the Millerton border.
Following the purchase of the
property, Anchor Engineering
worked with the transfer station
committee to come up with a
design for the new center.
Canaan brought together representatives from the State Police,

area drug treatment facilities
and Sharon Hospital for the
presentations.
Ohler said that about 16
young people, most in their
20s, had died in the region from
overdoses in the first six months
of 2015.
At both meetings, residents
expressed anger and frustration
that more drug dealers are not
arrested, and that those who
are dont seem to stay in jail
very long.
Trooper First Class Roy
Dungan, at the Sharon event,
urged residents to open your
peripheral vision and watch
for unusual vehicles or people
in their neighborhoods. He also
suggested getting in touch with
members of the state Legislature
to ask about drug crimes and
sentencing.
Christmas Fair
SHARON Sharon United
Methodist Church will host
its annual Christmas Fair and
Luncheon on Saturday, Dec. 5,
from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
There will be decorated
wreaths for sale as well as baked
goods, handcrafted gifts, ornaments and decor. In addition,
there will be a silent auction and a
luncheon with homemade soups
and sandwiches.

quality of buildings and projects
can be somewhere between good
and bad. He renders his views in
clear, poetic, often witty prose,
trenchant rather than mordant.
His opinions are founded on his
near encyclopedic knowledge of
facts and history.
After leaving The Times, he
was the architecture critic of The
New Yorker from 1997 to 2011.
He served as dean of Parsons, The
New School of Design, from 2004
to 2006, and continues to hold a
chaired professorship at The New
School. He is currently a contributing editor of Vanity Fair.
Goldbergers love of cities,
particularly New York, is evident in his many books, which
range from a consideration of
the Hamptons in Beyond the
Dunes, vertical buildings in On
the Rise and the rebuilding of
Ground Zero in Up From Zero,
a bestseller in both hardcover
and paperback. Among his many
awards and prizes is the Medal
of Honor from the New York
Landmarks Preservation Foundation, which called his writing
the nations most balanced,
penetrating and poetic analyses
of architecture and design.
Goldberger is also a believer
in the power of great architects
to make buildings that expand
possibilities and allow us to see
architecture in new ways. He is
the author of the only authorized
biography and critical study of
Frank Gehry, the countrys most
famous living architect. (One of
his amazing titanium and glass
buildings serves as Bard Colleges
performance hall in Annandale-on-Hudson.) The book,
Building Art: The Life and Work
of Frank Gehry, was published
in late September in conjunction
with a Gehry retrospective at the
Los Angeles County Museum of
Art and received highly favorable

reviews.
Paul Goldberger will speak at
The Hotchkiss School, Walker
Auditorium, on Friday, Dec. 11,
at 7:30 p.m. After his talk and a
Q and A, he will sign copies of
Frank Gehry, which Oblong
Books will offer for sale, at a
post-talk reception in the lobby. As with all Salisbury Forum
events, the presentation is free
and open to all.
Leon Graham is president of
The Salisbury Forum.
NATURE
the sole owner of this secluded
valley, saving his land proved to
be a much greater undertaking.
For one thing, the parcel is on
an entirely different scale. The
property is more than 800 acres
with vast woodlands and rolling
fields. Owning such family land
is a great responsibility accepted
by each successive generation,
but my friend is the last of his
line. The weight and obligation
of doing the right thing for
the valley rested solely on his
shoulders, and finding the right
solution became an imperative.
There are few shortcuts in
land protection, especially those
involving multiple partners, jurisdictions and sources of funding. Saving the valley required
persistence and perseverance
over many years, and I have been
privileged to help my friend work
toward his goal from the very
beginning. Last week finally saw
the culmination of that effort.
Now there are two conservation
easements in place protecting the
land in perpetuity.
CORNWALL The annual

Cornwall Christmas Pageant
will be held on Saturday, Dec.
12, at 7:30 p.m. at the United
Church of Christ on Bolton
Hill Road.
Costumed tableaus, traditional readings and carols
will culminate in the giving of
white gifts for children in need
(please bring a toy wrapped in
white paper). Hot chocolate and
refreshments will be served in
the parish house following the

pageant. Rehearsal will be on
Friday, Dec. 11, at 5:30 p.m.
Members of the community
who would like be in it must
arrive at rehearsal promptly.
The snow date is Dec. 13 at 4
p.m. For more information, call
Jane at 860-672-6101.
You cannot quantify peace

of mind, but long after the last
document is recorded this land
will endure, safe from the fate
of so many other special places
lost to development or broken
up into smaller pieces. I hope
that my friend can breathe easier
now, and I am grateful that we
traveled this long, strange path
together for all these years to see
it through.

AMENIA Dr. Carnes

Weeks Jr. died Nov. 29, 2015, in
Exeter, N.H.
The son of the late Margaret
Shoemaker of Pittsburgh, Pa.,
and the late Dr. Carnes Weeks
of New York City, he was born
in Manhattan in 1924, the oldest
of four children, which included
Bob, Nonie and Margo.
He grew up in the city, where
he attended St. Bernards School.
In the mid 1930s the family
moved to a farm in Woodbury,
Conn. He attended St. Pauls
School in Concord, N.H., until
he enlisted in the U. S. Marine
Corps in January 1943.
He trained as an aerial gunner in Marine B-25 bombers
in the South Pacific Theater of
the war. His squadron was responsible for bombing bypassed
Japanese-held Islands, mostly
Rabaul, New Britain.
Corporal Weeks was awarded both the Air Medal and the
Distinguished Flying Cross.
After his discharge in November
1945, Dr. Weeks attended Yale
University and graduated in
three years.
He married Patricia Severn
of Philadelphia, Pa., in 1949.
He completed medical school
at the University of Virginia
at Charlottesville, where sons
John and Andrew were born.
His youngest son, Nathan, was
born in Hartford, Conn., where
Dr. Weeks completed two years
general residency at Hartford
Hospital.
He started his family practice
of medicine in Amenia, where
he remained in practice for 18
years, performing maternity,
general medicine, assisting at
major surgery and house calls
from his home office.
In 1972, and for the next
three years, he practiced at
Vassar College; and he started
the Emergency Department at
Sharon Hospital, where he was
director from 1975 to 1989.
Dr. Weeks initiated and
served as chairman of the board
of the Elizabeth McCall Foundation, a center for the treatment
of alcohol and drug addictions,
in Torrington. He was honored
by the building of the in-patient
Carnes Weeks Center, a 20-bed
facility.
His volunteer activities included serving as a civilian physician in a Vietnamese hospital
in Phan Rang in 1967; starting
the Planned Parenthood Clinic
in Amenia and the Eastern
Dutchess County Maternity
Clinic, also in Amenia; and
working at Americares in Danbury, Conn.
Dr. Weeks retired from the
Emergency Department at
Sharon Hospital in 1992 and did
cruise ship medicine for several

years after retiring.
He moved to Sorrento,
Maine, in 2002. He married
Carmen Williams Jensen of
Corea, Maine, in 2012 and lived
in Exeter and Corea until his
death on Nov. 29 in Exeter.
In addition to his deep commitment to medicine, Dr. Weeks
had a lifelong appreciation for
the outdoors. He will be well
remembered for organizing
many family picnics, canoe trips,
fishing expeditions and deer
hunting with the Weeks Gang at
his cabin in Stanfordville, N.Y.
He thoroughly enjoyed carriage driving with his wife Patricia until her death in 1989. He
greatly enjoyed travel and planning adventures with friends.
Some of his notable trips include taking the Trans-Siberian
Railway from Vladivostok to St.
Petersburg, fishing trips in Alaska, an African safari, two trips
following in the steps of Lewis
and Clark and a trip with fellow
veterans to visit World War II
sites in the Pacific. He traveled
this country often in his camper.
His interest in ornithology
led him to bird carving, and he
spent many happy hours with
fellow bird carvers at the Wendall Gilley Museum in Northeast
Harbor, Maine.
He enjoyed cooking and,
after retirement, he enrolled in
a class at the Culinary Institute
of America.
He also loved a good story
and could tell a good story. Most
of all, he loved to be around
people.
He is survived by his sister,
Margo Valentine; his wife,
Carmen; his sons and daughters-in-law, Jack and Elizabeth,
of Kingston, N.Y., Andy and
Bonnie of Exeter and Nate and
Marion of Yarmouthport, Mass.;
his stepchildren, Lee Holsberry
of St. Petersburg, Fla., and Elizabeth and Bill Collins of Orting,
Wash.; his grandchildren, Beth
Weeks, Amy Weeks-Coffield,
Kevin Weeks and Kate Weeks;
and his stepgrandchildren,
Lindsay and Emily Palmer,
Melanie Taylor, A. J. Sidener and
Levi Collins.

many. In 2003, she took to the road
in her red Volkswagen
with her dog, Uno, to
drive cross-country and
back, to see the sights
and visit family and
friends along the way.
Carol found peace in
the outdoors,gardening,
flowers and with her furry companions. She also
enjoyed sports growing
up, and was an avid swimmer as
well as a tennis player later in life.
Her greatest legacy is her
children and grandchildren, who
continue to thrive and add goodness to the world.

SPORTS
LAKEVILLE The annual
Thanksgiving weekend regional
basketball tournament was held
at The Hotchkiss School on Nov.
28 and 29.
Competition on Saturday was
between boys in grades seven
and eight; the Sunday matches
were between boys in grades five
and six.
The regional team offers competition among teams from towns
in Litchfield County and beyond.
Its for players who are serious enough about the sport that
they are planning to play in high
school, said Sharon Recreation
Director Matt Andrulis-Mette,
who was one of the referees for
the tournament.
Players from the Region
One School District play on the
Housy Hoops team. The junior
players (in grades five and six)
are coached by Kate Nordland
and Tim Sneller. The senior
players (grades seven and eight)
are coached by Kevin Wiggins.
For this years tournament,
there were nine teams competing
in each division. Middlebury was
the champion, defeating New
Hartford in the final round.
The junior Housy Hoops team
made it to the finals, competing
against a team from Watertown.
Watertown won, 47-31, but the
game was a victory of another
kind: This is the first junior team
that the Housy Hoops have fielded
in many years and it was a triumph
that they made it all the way to
the final game.

From West Africa to Lakeville in pursuit of a dream (and soccer)

By Will Burchfield
boys and girls that the academy

assesses every year, 15 to 20 are
offered scholarships. Just based
purely on numbers that means a
student is nearly 100 times more
likely to gain admission into Harvard than Ghanas Right to Dream
academy.
Its nerve-racking, says
Opoku.
Reducing the familys burden
Thetrialists,as theyre known
at the academy, arent merely
looking for a better education or
a better soccer program, valuable
opportunities though they are. In
many ways, theyre looking for a
ticket to a better life.
So for the four boys, the decision to leave home at the age of
11 Opoku from Sekonde Tarkoradi, Ghana; Osman from Tamale, Ghana; Anyagri from Garu,
Ghana; and Kora from Cotonou,
Benin wasnt a difficult one.
And yet Opoku admits, Thats
where the real pressure starts.
But the trepidation in setting
out alone is eased, Opoku explains,
by the sense of doing right by
one of Right to Dreams U.S.-based

partners. (Others in this region
include Salisbury School, Kent
School and Millbrook School.) It
is the former objective that fuels
their fire on the soccer field.
I just love competing,says Osman, a smile spreading across his
face. And using your will to win.
Yea, yea,his teammates chime
in, expressing their approval. That
they are like-minded on the topic
of soccer shouldnt come as a surprise. The delight in competition
and the will to win are two qualities that every successful Right to
Dream candidate must possess.
Tougher than Harvard
The selection process is unlike
any tryout in our countrys youth
sports landscape. Right to Dreams
high standards coupled with a
tidal wave of applicants yields an
admission rate that would make
Ivy League universities look easy.
For it isnt enough to simply
dazzle on the soccer field. One
must also show promise in the
classroom and charisma beyond it.
Out of the 25,000 to 30,000
LAKEVILLE From the very

moment they were introduced to
the game, Eric Opoku, Umar Farouk Osman, Saviour Anyagri and
Firas Kora have always dreamed of
playing professional soccer.
They never imagined that journey would lead them to Lakeville.
No way,says Opoku incredulously,his three teammates shaking
their heads in agreement. Not
until I attended Right to Dream,
at least.
Opoku, Osman, Anyagri and
Kora are all graduates of the Right
to Dream Academy, a fully residential private school in the eastern
region of Ghana that provides
scholarships to the most talented
young soccer players in West Africa. The academys mission, most
directly, is to produce professional
footballers; more fundamentally,it
is to empower gifted boys and girls
to fulfill their potential.
It is the latter objective that has
brought Opoku, Osman, Anyagri
and Kora to The Hotchkiss School,
In return of Thanksgiving classic, Housy loses 38-28

rushing and was 1-3 for 20 yards

in the air; Brinson had 63 yards
and one touchdown; Hurley had
12 yards; and Evan Wilkinson had
17, also on the ground. David
Sanchez had three catches totaling
105 yards.
Turnovers were the determining factor in the outcome
of this game, Richardson said
afterward. We gave the ball away
four times, and you cant beat a
good team like Wolcott Tech with
mistakes like that.
Seniors Ted Perotti, Dave
Sanchez and Zack Larson, juniors Evan Wilkinson and Billy
Hurley and freshman Eli Brinson
were the engines that pulled this
train all season, and they gave it
everything they had today. I was
proud of them and proud to
coach them.
Note: The team honored
HVRHS Athletic Director Anne
Macneil and longtime football
supporter Dolores Perotti at
halftime.
The seniors on the team were
Sanchez, Perotti, Austin Gwinn,
Zack Larson and Mike Ocain.
An unruly Wolcott fan was
ejected from the game in the third
quarter, when he persisted in loud
and unimaginatively obscene
remarks.
The Mountaineers appeared

for a moment to have solved the
Morillo puzzle, stopping him
twice in a row for losses.
And when Morillo took a
pitch for a pass play, Brinson
and Sanchez combined for an
interception.
It looked as if the momentum
had shifted to the home team.
But a couple of plays later the
Wildcats Barreto returned the
favor with his own interception.
Wolcott scored again in the
fourth quarter, as Oates hit Barreto, and the score was 38-20.
But the Mountaineers fought
back. Perotti scored with about
4 minutes left in the game, the
two-point conversion was good,
and it was 38-28.
Do not give up! yelled
HVRHS coach Doug Richardson.
Were not done yet!
The Mountaineers tried an
onside kick but failed to recover.
Then Sanchez intercepted
a pass and the Mountaineers
had one more shot as time was
running out.
But that rally fell short, and
the game ended on a Wildcat
interception.
The Mountaineers ended their
season with a 3-7 record. Perotti
had three touchdowns on 83 yards
FALLS VILLAGE The

Housatonic-Wamogo Mountaineers kept things competitive
but ultimately fell to the Oliver
Wolcott Wildcats, 38-28, in the
Thanksgiving Day football game
at Housatonic Valley Regional
High School.
The Wildcats received the kick
to start the game and scored first,
going up 6-0 after a lengthy drive.
The Mountaineers got their
first look at Wildcat running
back/free safety Krysten Morillo
in this series, and the senior was
a constant threat the entire game.
The Mountaineers answered
with a pass from Billy Hurley
to David Sanchez on the first
play from scrimmage, a 9-yard
rumble from Ted Perotti and a
touchdown run from Eli Brinson
(with Perotti making the twopoint conversion).
Wolcott came right back with
a steady march down the field,
culminating with a touchdown
run from Morillo and the twopoint conversion from quarterback Brandon Oakes to make the
score 14-8 with about 8 minutes
remaining in the second quarter.
A promising drive ended badly
for Housatonic when Wolcotts
Derrick Barreto intercepted a pass
in the end zone.
Barreto then contributed a
long run on offense, and a few
moments later Morillo found the
end zone again.
Down 22-8, Perotti scored
for the home team as time was
running out. The two-point
conversion failed, but the score at
the half was a manageable 22-14.
But things went south after
halftime. The Wildcats recovered
a Housatonic fumble and Morillo
dominated in the following offensive series.
Now down 30-14, the Mountaineers refused to give up. Working quickly, with minimal time in
the huddle, and with Hurleysgogo count confusing the Wildcats,
Housatonic marched back down
the field. Perotti punched it in for
the touchdown, the conversion
failed, and it was 30-20.
Bridge scores for Nov. 18 and 25

(56.19 percent) were Patricia
Boyle and Celia Senzer, and in
third with 89.58 points (53.32
percent) were Lily Beck and Joan
Turnure.
On the day before Thanksgiving Day, there were nine pairs,
four and a half tables. Using the
Howell Movement, we played
three boards a round for eight
rounds. Twenty-four boards
were in play with a three-board
sit out The average score was 36.
The three pairs with the best
scores were Billy Saster and Bob
Finn, with a score of 47.43 (65.88
percent), Vivian Sullivan and
David Bill with a score of 42.29
(58.74 percent) and Lily Beck and
Harry Hall with a score of 38.50
(53.47 percent).
Harry Hall
LAKEVILLE There was

a duplicate bridge game at the
Interlaken Inn in Lakeville,
following a delightful buffet
lunch on Nov. 18. There were
eight full tables. Playing four
boards a round and a skip after
four rounds, all pairs played 28
boards. The average score was 84.
For North South pairs, in
first with 110 points (65.48
percent) were Marian and Carr
Ferguson; in second with 90.5
points (53.87 percent) were Gail
and Alan Gamble, and in third
with 87.5 points (52.13 percent)
were Norma Bartholomew and
Tom Burke.
For East West pairs, in first
with 109.42 points (65.13 percent) were Alice Platt and David
Bill; in second with 94.4 points
ones family.Youre cutting down

problems for your family because
they no longer have to pay for your
education. Youre happy because
youre benefiting them.
The boys again nod in agreement, and then Anyagri pipes up.
The playing experience justifies
it too because its so competitive.
Each year, Right to Dream sends
three teams to Europe to play
the best youth academies on the
continent, exposing the players to
the highest level of soccer in their
developmental years.
Its worth it, Anyagri adds,
when you think about how much
you put in day in and day out.
Its also worth it, the four boys
agree, when you consider where
the academy takes you.
Opoku is a senior at Hotchkiss,
Osman a junior, Anyagri a sophomore and Kora a freshman, so they
arrived on the schools campus in
successive years. They all admit
to feeling the same general mix
of emotions on their first day of
high school in America: happy,
confused and overwhelmed.
And lost! exclaims Osman.I
came to school late the night
before classes started so I didnt
know where any of my classes were
on the first day. I had to ask for
directions anywhere I was going.
His teammates laugh as he tells
the story, reveling in the irony of his
predicament: he had successfully
journeyed from Tamale, Ghana
to Lakeville, but he couldnt find
his way from the science building
to the gym.
Aside from the myriad obstacles of being a new kid in a new
school, the boys agree the biggest
challenge in adjusting to life at
Hotchkiss is getting used to the
academic standards.
And to the weather, says
Osman.
And to the food, says Opoku.
And to the girls, says Kora.
He is sufficiently razzed for
this comment, but Kora is making a larger point: People present
themselves in various ways and

School and the Taft School on Nov. 14, is one of an outstanding quartet of soccer players from Ghana now at Hotchkiss.
with various intentions in different
parts of the world, and these tacit
messages can be hard to interpret.
Still, being the freshman in the
group, he isnt let off easy. And the
brotherly ribbing he receives from
his teammates is, most of all, an
indication of their close friendship.
If they have adopted each other
as family, they have chosen the
soccer field as their home.
Its not only a talent they possess, but one of their true passions
outside the classroom, says the
Hotchkiss boys soccer coach, Jay
Thornhill. These young men eat,
sleep and breathe soccer.
As one would expect, they are
standouts on the field, dazzling
crowds and opponents with

their lightning-like feet, deft ball
control and often-colorful celebrations. Together, they helped
lead Hotchkiss to the New England
tournament this season with a
record of 10-5-4. The Bearcats
fell in the quarterfinals to Phillips
Academy Andover.
Thornhill, reflecting on his first
year as coach, says, Working with
Eric, Umar, Saviour and Firas has
been both challenging and gratifying. They have challenged me to
think outside the box and embrace
creativity on the field. Mostly they
have allowed me to appreciate the
beauty of the game and what it
means to each player on the team.

EDITORIAL
Keep momentum going
t seems to happen whenever long-term plans for a

municipal project begin to approach their final stages.
Despite the fact that multiple parts of the process have
been reviewed in excruciating detail at public meetings
from the very beginning, there are always citizens who come
forward to object toward the end. These are those who either
did not keep track of the planning at all, or came to it late,
and found some things that needed to be questioned. That is
not all bad, but it can certainly be very frustrating for those
who have worked on the project through long years, all in
the public eye.
Such is the situation with the Salisbury-Sharon Transfer
Station plans, which are finally coming to fruition. Granted, it is a big project, and one that has many complicated
aspects. Property had to be found and purchased, research
had to be done to find the best approach for towns the size
of these two, and the final plans had to meet the recycling
needs and wishes of the communities. The work has been
happening for three and a half years, as pointed out by Charlie Kelley, co-chair of the Salisbury-Sharon Transfer Station
Building Committee, giving lots of opportunity for public
input before these final stages.
The October informational meetings that were held in
Salisbury and Sharon brought to light a difference in levels
of acceptance and understanding of the project thus far.
Salisbury residents had only minimal questions at this point
in the proceedings. At the Sharon
meeting, on the other hand, there
were many objections, and queries that related to items that were
resolved about 10 steps ago. However, there were also some thoughtful
cost-saving suggestions presented by
a Sharon engineer, Mike Dignacco,
at the Nov. 18 committee meeting
in Salisbury. If such knowledge can
be useful at this stage, and save the
towns some money while keeping the
quality of the transfer station where the towns want it, that
is excellent. Maybe Dignacco would consider continuing to
volunteer his time to improve the projects outcome, as have
the current members of the committee since its inception.
The Hotchkiss School in Lakeville gave plenty of notice
of removal of the current facility on its property, and the
leadership of Sharon and Salisbury took on the charge of
coming up with a good alternative responsibly. Northwest
Corner towns take recycling and responsible disposal of
refuse seriously, as they should, and a good outcome for the
transfer station project is critical. This new facility on Route
44 near the Millerton line should fulfill the needs of the
towns for many years to come, with no issue of eviction as
there is now.
So it is important for the towns and their residents to
come to an agreement on the best approach to move forward.
It would be disastrous to have a long, drawn-out rehashing of
issues that have been resolved over the course of the last three
and a half years. Good suggestions, such as Dignaccos, could
have a positive effect on the final iteration of the transfer
station. What should not happen, however, is stalling of the
process for no good reason. Hotchkiss has given the deadline
of 2020 for the transfer station to vacate its property. The
towns need to have the carefully planned facility in place
and functioning by then, in order to have no interruption of
service for the residents of Salisbury and Sharon.
Confusion over party affiliation

Selectperson Kiefers letter
to the editor (Lakeville Journal,
Nov. 19) has compelled me to respond. Although I was endorsed
by the Democratic Party, I ran
as an unaffiliated voter on their
ticket. While the Secretary of
the State may consider a person
elected on a party line as counting
toward that partys allocation of
seats on a board or commission,
that doesnt change who I am
or what I believe in, nor alter
my commitment to doing what
is in the best interests of the
community.
I sincerely appreciate that the
Democratic Party respected my
convictions by including me as
an unaffiliated candidate on
their ticket. Therefore, I would
respectfully suggest to Ms. Kiefer
that there is more than one path-
way to maintain ones political

independence as unaffiliated
within the local electoral system.
I do agree with her that we need
to focus on peoples abilities and
qualifications to serve, rather
than arcane party litmus tests
that have little relevance to the
issues and challenges of governance at the local level.
On another matter, I take
note of Stuyvie Bearns letter
to the editor on Nov. 19, which
provided a much-needed alternative viewpoint to The Lakeville
Journals editorial of Oct. 29
concerning proposed regulations
for the Rural Enterprise Zone.

Thanks for a great season

I would like to thank Salisbury School and Hotchkiss School for
allowing our local middle school kids of the Steamroller Football
team to have official games at their fields on Oct. 30 and Nov. 6.
It was a thrill for our team to play under the lights and on such
nice fields!
I would also love to thank our four coaches who tirelessly coach
these kids every week, no matter the weather and the conditions:
Dan ODell, Charlie Humes, Rob Gilpatric and Marcus Cole.
This was a rebuilding year for the Steamrollers, and we plan
to grow even more for next season. This team is open to kids in
fourth to eighth grades. The younger ones traditionally will do Flag
Football to start. We plan to have signups this summer, but please
check dates out on our Facebook page. A Pick-up Flag Football
evening will also happen weekly this summer for anyone who wants
to check things out.

Airbnb
service is important to community
NORMA GALAISE
Ambassadors of goodwill is how the government in Washington, D.C., and others refer
to Airbnb. As a participating host member of
Airbnb, I would like to comment on the Nov. 19
guest commentary from Ed Ferman of Cornwall
with regard to the Cornwall P&Z possible ruling
and understanding of this service.
Airbnb charges 3 percent for its
listing service. Members are strictly
graded in several categories by those
who use the service. Payment is
made only through bank accounts,
by the company. This money is
taxable.
People using the service are those
who like the convenience of private
homes, with space and a yard for
children to play safely in, and sometimes a kitchen to feed their families
in. Contrary to the name Airbnb,
food is not prepared and served
by the owner. I do refer guests to
local restaurants, hiking trails, canoe
rentals, ski and fishing options.
Most all of my guests have been here for
Cornwall family functions, such as weddings and
visits to relatives. One or two hotel or motel rooms
are mostly more expensive and less convenient for
comings and goings of families. Local services:

restaurants and businesses are utilized, and there
would be a loss of income to these businesses if
guests go to other towns for their visits. Personally,
these guests have all been gracious and considerate with no damage, breakage, or disturbances.
This is a worldwide service,
helping visitors to our area to utilize our recreational options and
local businesses. It now is a new
era with new travel possibilities
and great ways to promote goodwill and potential for meeting and
learning about different cultures
and meeting new friends.
Putting time limits for visits
and adding new limitations to the
service does not enhance our goodwill. (And, New York City has many
listings, by the way.) Homeowners
do rent their spaces, aside from
this service, in many ways. I do not
understand how this could change.
Locals can and should educate themselves with
the actual service and its rules, limitations, allowances and securities. Go to the websites and read.

Planning and Zoning is under-appreciated

We would like to thank the
Planning & Zoning Commission for the extraordinarily
hard work they put forth in
their efforts to resolve longstanding local conflicts. They
have always listened, and we
believe, considered carefully
the arguments presented. Often
decisions had to be made that
have had far-reaching consequences for everyone involved,
yet they made those decisions

with careful thought about the
implications for the whole town.
The Planning & Zoning
Commission is arguably the most
important commission in town.
It is charged with the almost
impossible task of protecting the
present, while administering regulations that often restrict what
people may feel entitled to. At the
same time, they must plan for
Support for new interim CEO

We would like to publicly
welcome Peter Cordeau to
the position of interim CEO
at Sharon Hospital. Peter has
done an excellent job as chief
nursing officer. He recognizes
the vital role the hospital holds
in our community and values
its excellent and hard-working
staff.
We are hopeful and enthusiastic about the future
of Sharon Hospital under his

Thanks for supporting food pantry

Thank you to everyone in our
community who has given so
generously to the Corner Food
Pantry all year long and especially in the last few weeks. As we
prepared for our Thanksgiving
distribution, the support of volunteers and organizations in our
area was overwhelming. We were
able to provide nourishing food
for 81 households representing
over 300 individuals for their
Thanksgiving.
Many organizations donate
food all year long, but during the
holiday season we are especially
grateful for the food drives held
by St. Marys Church, The United Methodist Church, The Salisbury Congregational Church, St.
Johns Episcopal Church, Trinity
Lime Rock Church, Hotchkiss
StuFac, Salisbury Bank and
Trust, Salisbury Central School,
the Salisbury Rotary Club, Skip
Barber, The Connecticut Valley
Porsche Club and, of course,
NASCAR Dave, who donated
turkeys for Thanksgiving.

In the summer the Hotchkiss
Farm, Gordon Ridgway, the
Community Garden in Salisbury and countless other local
farmers and gardeners generously donate fresh vegetables.
Throughout the year, financial
donations from individuals
and grants from the Community Foundation of Northwest
Connecticut, Berkshire Taconic
Community Foundation, as well
as generous discounts on food
from LaBonnes Market, make
it possible for the Corner Food
Pantry to provide over 100,000
pounds of food per year to
about 70 households per week.
None of this would be possible
without all of the hard-working
volunteers who tirelessly sort,
shelve and distribute the food.
Thank you all on behalf of
our clients.

Its official: The spending

cap does not matter
or 23 years, lawmakers in
Hartford had to co-exist
with the states spending
cap, which was intended to put
reasonable limits on spending
growth. Lawmakers played nice
with the cap, at least pretending
to abide by its letter while rarely
respecting its spirit. Last week
we learned the lengthy charade
is over when Attorney General
George Jepsen offered a formal
opinion that the constitutional
spending cap has no legal effect.
The lawmakers who voted to
institute the income tax offered
taxpayers the spending cap as a
consolation prize. The people of
Connecticut voted overwhelmingly to adopt the constitutional
amendment, with more than 80
percent voting in favor.
According to a Huffington
Post poll conducted with YouGov, apple pie has an 81 percent
approval rating. In other words,
the spending cap is about as
popular as apple pie.
Yet, for more than two decades, lawmakers have delayed
and dissembled rather than take
the last step necessary to put the
spending cap into effect. All that
remains to be done is to define
the terms in the amendment.
Lawmakers have not taken this
simple step. If they took it now,
Jepsens opinion wont matter.
Hes saying the cap cant work
until its terms are defined. If
nothing else, lawmakers cant
say their instructions arent clear.
The attorney generals opinion
hinges on the interaction between the old statutory spending
cap and the new constitutional
one.
The statutory cap was never
very meaningful for a simple
reason: a law cannot make it illegal to pass another law. In other
words, legislatures are free to do
most things, but they cannot bind
future legislatures.
Jepsen said these principles
safeguard voters ability to
elect representatives vested

with authority undiminished by
the acts and judgments of past
legislatures.
Higher forms of law, namely
constitutions and their amendments, can bind future legislatures. This is exactly what the
people of Connecticut attempted
to do with the spending cap
amendment. The complication
is that the amendment gives the
legislature the authority to define
terms within the amendment
without requiring that they be
defined or offering a default.
Twenty-two years ago, Attorney General Richard Blumenthal
(now a U.S. Senator) issued an
opinion on the spending cap.
Blumenthal said lawmakers
could change the statutory cap,
but such changes would violate
the constitutional cap, so they
could only be changed by the
three-fifths vote totals required
by the amendment.
Under Blumenthals opinion
the constitutional spending cap
had effectively absorbed the statutory cap as its initial imperfect
implementation.
Under Jepsens opinion, the
statutory cap is unrelated to the
constitutional cap and there is
no bridge between them. Indeed,
Jepsen said lawmakers dont
even have to explicitly repeal or
revise the statutory cap. Instead
they could pass a budget than
exceeds the cap and it would be
presumed to have suspended the
conflicting portions of the earlier
enacted statutory spending cap.
Had lawmakers followed
the spending cap closely over
the past two decades, the state
would have more than $5 billion
more on its balance sheet. Thats
considerable since the states liabilities exceed its assets by tens

of billions of dollars.
Sadly, lawmakers for two decades ignored an overwhelming
majority of voters and chose not
to implement the constitutional
spending cap. Now that were
being honest, maybe some in
Hartford will take this issue more
seriously. That would be about as
American as apple pie.

Our home, our future
Voices from the Salisbury community about the housing

needed for a healthy, economically vibrant future
Sharon Hospital
o live and work in the

Northwest Corner of
Connecticut is a privilege and a challenge. Beauty
abounds with rolling hills,
open space, and fresh waterways.
A serene place to call home. To
raise a family. To grow old. But,
for many, actually finding an
affordable residence is quite a
challenge. This idyllic American
Dream, quite frankly, is out of
reach for many working families.
The viability of our community
is at risk.
We prefer to call the lack of
affordable housing a serious lack
of workforce family housing.
Many of our Sharon Hospital
staff find it difficult to live in our
community. Of our 415 full, part
time, and per diem employees,
52 percent live in Connecticut,
44 percent live in New York, 2.3
percent live in Massachusetts,
and 1.7 percent commute from
other states. More than 30 of our
hospital team members commute 25 miles or more and over
a dozen commute a distance of
50 miles or greater.
Many of our younger hospital
employees are finding it increasingly difficult to find places of
their own within our immediate
neighboring towns; often residing with parents, friends, or other
family members. The trend of
multi-generational living from
years past is becoming more and
more prevalent.
As the age of our population
increases, so too does our lack
of family workforce housing. In
Sharon alone, the median sale
price of a single family home
doubled from 2000 to 2006.
SERIES ON
HOUSING
JILL GROODY
MUSSELMAN
And, as of June 1, 2015, more
than two-thirds of recent home
sales in Sharon in the past year
were sold to individuals with
out-of-town permanent addresses or non-traditional, second
homeowners who do not utilize
local services on a routine basis.
The median sales value of these
homes was $616,097. For those
earning the median household
income of $70,877 in Litchfield
County, a home in our area is
simply out of reach.
After speaking with Kate, a
young nurse at Sharon Hospital,
I was able to confirm the difficulty and frustration often
heartache that touches some
of our Sharon Hospital family
members. The need for housing
is real. Kate is a single parent.
Starting a career. Looking for
local daycare. Finishing her education. Striving to find a place to
call home that is a short commute
to the hospital. Kate has searched
for months and has resigned to
living with her parents for the
foreseeable future. She would
love nothing more than to have
a home to call her own and raise
her children.
Affordable housing for working adults like Kate, whether a
single family home, a duplex,
condominium, or apartment,
Cartoon by Bill Lee of Sharon and New York City
is desperately needed for many

members of our areas current
workforce (hospital staff, teachers, bank tellers, emergency
service volunteers, firefighters
and more). This challenge exists
when it comes to recruiting new
staff and young healthcare providers to our community as well.
There are several places within
our service area that offer affordable housing. We applaud those
community members who have
come together to create places
throughout Litchfield County.
The most recent additions have
been created by The Sharon
Housing Trust with 12 additional
units completed in 2014. There
are also several single family
dwellings being constructed
currently in our area. But, the
need is so much greater. There
simply is not enough workforce
family housing, period.
As a community, we have a
desperate challenge facing us.
We must come together to create
workforce family housing for a
viable future. For our community
to grow and thrive, we need a
true collaborative team effort; a
housing team made up of town
leaders, employers, developers,
and community members. We
need out-of-the-box ideas and
collaboration. We must work
together to find suitable land
to build suitable housing that
will offer our current working
generation and their children a
place they can afford a place
to call home.

to the unaffiliated majority in

Connecticut primary elections.
This time, Im waiting to see
what develops, including the
identity of her real opponent, but
Esty certainly helped her cause
by not joining the other two allegedly endangered Democrats,
Jim Himes and Joe Courtney,
and voting for the demagogic
anti-Syrian refugee bill.
How this sometime supporter
got on her mailing list of habitual
donors is something of a mystery,
but someone thinks Im a giver.
Youve always stepped up
when I needed you, Dick, wrote
Elizabeth on Sept. 30, as she
asked for $3, $10, $25 or another
amount as a Federal Election
Commission reporting deadline
neared. In another email, my
congresswoman explained she
needed the resources to fight
back against the Tea Party, which
she often mentions. In October,
it was a plea to help as the Koch
brothers were closing in.
IF YOU ASK ME
DICK AHLES
She is apparently done well,
even without my $3 or $8. The CT
Mirror reported Esty leads all five
of the incumbent Democratic
House members in fundraising,
having received a comfortable
$709,000 as of the Sept. 30 reporting deadline. Only Himes,
who frequently has respectable
opposition, is close.
So far, all that money is available to combat one announced
opponent, a mysterious figure
named John Pistone, who has
raised nothing or maybe just not
enough to require reporting it.

But it is ill-advised to pursue
announced policies emanating
from that corrective action;

To satisfy the public mind that

Among his constitutional
amendments is this: In all criminal prosecutions, the accused
shall enjoy the right to a speedy
and public trial, one of the tenets
of the Sixth Amendment.
Gov. Malloy has proposed
taking state laws that allow
low-risk teenagers to wipe clean
criminal records and extend
that practice to defendants up
to age 25. He also has proposed
allowing those between 21 and
25 to have their cases heard confidentially, their criminal records
sealed, and possibly have those
records expunged.

that 18-year-olds can vote, they

would also be the first openly gay
candidate for Congress from the
state and would, in fact, double
the Republican gay caucus in
the House to two if hes elected.
Esty may have been referring
to this threat last week when,
in an email asking for $15, she
reported, rumor has it that the
GOP has found an opponent to
try to defeat me next year.
Pistone, who finished third
against Esty and Republican
Mark Greenberg in 2014, has a
campaign web site best described
as an anthology of Tea Party
truisms on the evils of big government and the wonders of the
Second Amendment. His biography is modest, as he describes
himself in full as a resident
of Brookfield, Conn., a proud
parent and happily married for
the past 26 years.
In October I emailed him for
more biographical details, like
his occupation and education,
but he hasnt replied. Maybe he
felt it was a gotcha question.
Pistone does confide on his
website that he is ready and willing to Buck the Barriers and fight
for Fiscal Responsibility, Limited
Government, Religious Freedom, Individual Liberty and Our
Constitution. And, in addition
to a fondness for capitalization,
he offers a very catchy slogan:
You are not alone when you
vote Pistone.
We assume the Koch Brothers
and the rest will help the congresswoman justify her maniacal
fundraising and come up with
someone even more formidable
than Pistone or Shermans first
selectman.
But if past history can guide
us, the party will not begin
herding its sacrificial lambs until
sometime this spring or early
summer its usual strategy in
dealing with Democratic congresspersons after theyve been
in office for a while.
In the meantime, Esty is not
alone, she has Pistone.

Snow White, House of Dwarfs
It Takes a Lot of Loons

To Make a Panto
he Loons have done

it again. This is their
16th panto, a British
import and a holiday convention, and, as always, there are
rules, which narrator/music
director Paul Leyden outlines
for the audience at The Ghent
Playhouse. Boo the bad guys,
he tells us, warn the good guys
of danger. And expect lots of
gender confusion.
Its Snow White, of course,
who is in peril, and that peril
comes largely from a gaggle
of candidates for president,
starting with Evil Queen
Carly played by Mark Monk
Schane-Lydon. Tricked out
in long lashes, outrageous
curves and 4-inch heels, this
actor plays a 1940s movie star
to perfection. Eyelids aflutter,
bosom heaving this is one
outrageous vamp.
Following the outlines of a
fairy tale, in keeping with pan-
to rules, Carly calls upon the

Woodsman (Nellie Rustick) to
do in Snow (Sam Reilly). Get
your ax in here, Carly orders.
Snow, in a charming blue pinafore, brown curly tresses and
Revlon-red lips, is busy taking selfies with her little bird.
Warned of danger, she stows
her Apple iPhone 6 and heads
for the woods, a place filled
with big ominous organ
chord here conservatives.
Off she goes to a rustic
cabin where she meets the
seven dwarfs: Bennie, Bushie,
Chrissy, Lindsey, Marky, Teddy
and Trumpy. Here is where the
loons take flight, especially
with Dwarf Chrissy (Matthew
Coviello) who is, of course,
food mad, assuring one of his
fellows who asks about a bulge
in his pocket, Sometimes a
Twinkie is just a Twinkie, and

utmeg Ballets artistic director, Victoria

Mazzarelli, is focusing
these days on the conservatorys annual production of The
Nutcracker. When I arrived
at the studio, Mazzarelli was
coaching partners featured
in the Arabian scene in Act
II. Four pairs of dancers will
cover the six shows.
By now, of course, each
dancer knows the moves, so
Mazzarelli was working on
the fine points eye contact,
quiet shoulders, an extension
here, a pause there. Things
were going pretty well. Now
and then she would step in to
demonstrate, take the womans part and lead the young
man.
Then she moved on to the
larger studio on the third floor
of Nutmegs school, administrative offices and student
quarters next to the Warner
Theatre on Torringtons Main
Street for a rehearsal of Act
II. There the Nutmeg's ballet master, Timothy Melady,
was rehearsing a brand new
section in The Waltz of the
Flowers, choreographed by
Kirk Peterson. This piece will
give the more experienced
dancers a new challenge and
features male dancers for the
first time.
The run-through continued, with Mazzarelli coaching individual dancers. Those

dancers not onstage lined the
sides of the studio, and when
a partnership would pull off a
particularly demanding lift in
the Grand Pas de Deux, they
would applaud their fellows.
At the break I met some
of the young men who came
from places like West Virginia,
Tennessee, Colorado and
Illinois as well as Torrington
to study at the Nutmeg Conservatory. They said dancing
is hard work and they had
good days and off days, but
they kept their focus on their
goals, their overall development. They don't get too down
if things do not go right one
day, knowing that there is a
tomorrow. They support each
other; and they are there for
each other through the ups
and downs of dance training.
As for performance nerves,
music helps, they said, and
they rely on their training.
When the time comes, they
get out there, and let it happen.
Since these dancers work
very hard and have a demanding schedule, I asked them
what they do to decompress,
to relax. Anything, they said,
that allows them to get com-
pletely away from dance for a

short time. One plays piano,
another reads, some like
video games. They get away
completely, but briefly.
I also met two ballerinas,
Reilly McGregor, and Alma
Evertz, who say they are
encouraged to work out the
moves with their partners.
Having good male dancers inspires them to be at their best,
to be fully prepared. They
echoed the men in saying they
felt a lot of support from all
the other dancers.
As Melady says, Nutmeg
training is not just growing
dancers; its growing humans,

A Final Word (This Year)

On Thanksgiving
The start of a Turkey Tetrazzini.
h Turkey Tetrazzini,
the great American
dish following the great
American holiday: a simple
recipe for using up a lot of leftover bird after Thanksgiving:
Just add white sauce, mushrooms, spaghetti, maybe a
splash of white wine or sherry
and bake with grated Parmesan on top.
There are hundreds of recipes, credited to a wide range
of chefs from stars like August
Escoffier, to honor soprano
Luisa Tetrazzini, chef Ernest
Arbogast, also to honor Luisa
Tetrazzini, and then many
others such as Giada De Laurentis who makes her Turkey
Tetrazzini with chicken, and
Pioneer Woman Ree Drummond on Food Network who
does use leftover turkey and
then tarts it up with Monterey
Jack, peas, black olives, bacon

or or
and (good grief) cream cheese.

With Turkey Tetrazzini well
established on the American
table the only Italian aspect
to it, according to Almost Italian, the blog, is its name and
its use of pasta variations
including chicken, of course,
shrimp, lobster and (best of all,
at least when I made it with
my first white sauce at age 10)
tuna, abound.
Now Sylvia, my motherin-law, a beautiful and aristocratic woman could cook two
dishes. One: Cold cuts, which
she would array on a platter
and then pat with the palm
of her hand, enameled nails
gleaming, to judge if the temperature were right to serve.
And two: Turkey Tetrazzini.
As best we can recall, Sylvia
had grown up in a Manhattan
neighborhood known then as
Jewish Harlem and rejected
emphatically all efforts to develop ordinary domestic skills.
When she was required to
sew a simple slip to graduate
from high school, she talked
an acquaintance into making
it for her. In addition to being
beautiful and aristocratic, she
was a charmer.
My husband knows very
little about Sylvias growing up
except that her father, a furrier
with Scottish antecedents,
changed the family name from
Jacobs to Dettmar, a common
move in the beginning of the
20th century. Sylvias husband,
too, Brooklyn-born first-generation Avram Epstein with
Romanian antecedents, went
on to considerable success as
an attorney with the name of
Lincoln Epworth, moving his
family to Park Avenue.
And so, it was that Sylvia,

as a wife and mother of two,
without domestic help the day
after Thanksgiving, and spare
domestic skills of her own,
was obliged to cook a family
meal that had to be more than
bologna and Swiss cheese. The
meal she chose to make was
bland, unexceptional, American, pleasant, easy and, most
compelling of all, conforming. And just as she honored
every holiday of the year, sans
religious connotations, she followed many of her more experienced sisters in this country
in making Turkey Tetrazzini.
In keeping with family
tradition, I too make Turkey
Tetrazzini some time after
Thanksgiving. It is in spirit,
if not detail, a likeness of my
dear Sylvias.
TURKEY
TETRAZZINI
Ingredients: White meat

turkey, cubed; mushrooms
I like Shiitake best; a finely
chopped shallot sauted in
butter with the mushrooms; a
white sauce made with flour
and butter, milk, turkey stock,
a little white wine, salt and
pepper and a dash of nutmeg;
mix a copious amount of
this white sauce with lightly
cooked spaghetti, broken, and
the turkey and mushrooms.
Pour into a good-sized, buttered baking dish so that the
mixture is not more than two
inches deep, sprinkle grated
Parmesan on top and bake at
325 degrees until bubbly.
Serve with something fresh
and tart such as salad greens in
a lemony vinaigrette. And recall
the past, even one you did not
take part in, with pleasure.
ART: LEON GRAHAM
Taking In a
Museum Makeover
artford's Wadsworth
Atheneum has been
much ballyhooed by
art writers and publications
since its great unveiling. Like
the doyenne it is the Atheneum opened in 1844 and is
the country's oldest, continuously operating art museum
it could have chosen one
of those new buildings or additions that add lifeless and
mostly useless space.
Instead, museum director
Susan L. Talbott, who joined
the Atheneum in 2008, abandoned plans for an expensive
addition among other
things, the money wasn't
there and embarked on
a $33-million upgrade: repairs and refurbishment
that enhanced gallery space.
Centerpiece of the effort is
the redone Morgan Memorial
building.
The two-story 1910 Morgan
Memorial was the gift of J.
P. Morgan in memory of his
father, J. S. Morgan. Hidden
behind the off-putting Gothic
revival Wadsworth facade,
the Morgan Memorial is now
full of light, color from walls
and pictures, and a clever
mix of the museum's two
greatest strengths: Baroque
art and a truly remarkable,
popular cabinet of curiosities.
Of course the major movements of late 19th- and early
20th- century art are covered,
too; but more in a one-of-this,
one-of-that fashion.
The centerpiece of the
Morgan Memorial is the Great
Hall, now home to more than
70 paintings a few great,
some good, some mediocre
hung side by side and clam-

bering over each other as they
climb the double-height, dark
blue walls. The hanging was
inspired by the museum's own
The Picture Gallery of Cardinal Silvio Valenti Gonzaga,
painted by Giovanni Paolo Panini in 1749. This magnificent
picture gives an aerial view of
the cardinal's soaring gallery,
hung cheek-to-jowl with hundreds of pictures. Of course
viewing and identifying the
paintings is a chore, with only
a poorly conceived diagram as
your guide. There is a certain amusement in watching
people work with the guide in
increasing frustration.
Upstairs in Morgan 2, the
expanded Cabinet of Art and
Curiosities shows the beginning of museum collections
by scientists, aristocrats and
royalty in the 18th century.
Prehistoric objects stand near
Egyptian jewelry and even a
nautilus shell made to be a
coach with gold trimming and
a tiny coachman perched on
top.
The other galleries in
A woman in the Great Hall tries to identify the painting from a museum chart.
Morgan 2 begin with the museum's strongest single area,
the Baroque. Caravaggio's St.
Francis of Assisi in Ecstasy,
the museum's greatest single
painting, hangs near a magnificent Poussin and a tremendous Zubarn. In other
galleries, pictures communicate with the Atheneum's enviable collection of porcelain
figures. In the last two galleries pictures from just before
and after the French Revolution are centered around a
massive, sentimental painting
of Louis VVI saying goodbye
to his family. It was painted by

an American, Mather Brown,
in 1793 and overlooks some
Svres once owned by Madame de Pompadour, Louis
XV's most famous mistress.
In a special exhibits section
of the museum a small but
fascinating show of photographs by Andy Warhol and
Robert Mapplethorpe demonstrate how imagination, artistry and technique informed
both men's work. Just the two
photos each produced of the
other are worth the whole
exhibition.

MOVIES: LEON GRAHAM

Brooklyn
Finding a Way to
An Authentic and
Touching Film
t is easy to imagine the

sentimental and maudlin
way Colm Toibin's bestselling novel, Brooklyn,
might have been brought to
the screen. But director John
Crowley and screenwriter Nick
Hornby went, instead, for the
kind of melodrama American
filmmakers almost never make
anymore. Sincerity, tenderness, romance and a gentle,
but not overbearing, nostalgia
for a bygone era's look, feel and
customs give the film a wonderful authenticity of time,
place and emotion.
Eilis Lacey (Saoirse Ronan)
lives in a small Irish town after
the end of World War II. Her
sister (Fiona Glascott) arranges for an expatriate priest
in Brooklyn, Father Flood (Jim
Broadbent), to invite her to the
U.S. with a place to live and a
job already waiting. Soon she
is in Brooklyn where the
large community of expatriates rarely ventures into
Manhattan living in a rooming house, working in a fancy
department store and taking
night classes in bookkeeping.
All the anguish and fear of
leaving home for an unknown,
All the anguish

across-the-ocean place is
conveyed in Ronan's still, luminous performance. Her face
seems to have its own internal
lighting, her looks and glances
she is a still actress, letting
the camera record the subtle,
almost imperceptible changes
in her eyes and face can
convey contradictory emotions simultaneously.
Eilis is intelligent and quickwitted, and as she settles into
a routine she loosens up, even
goes to church-sponsored
weekend dances where she
finds a boyfriend. Her world
blossoms as she slowly falls in
love with Tony, a young Italian plumber who likes Irish
girls (played with puppy eyes

Cohen). Even at the department store her joy is noticeable to her glamorous boss,
Miss Fortini (Jessica Par of
Mad Men). But we know
this burnished world cannot
go on such is the nature of
melodrama and Eilis is soon
back in Ireland, where another
man tries to claim her heart
(bashful Domhnall Gleeson).
Eilis will make her choice,
and it will break her heart a
little, but it will be hers. She
has become an independent
woman in the U.S., influenced

by other strong women like
Fortini and her landlady (a
delightful, sharp-tongued but
playful Julie Walters). We have
journeyed with Eilis as she
discovers the possibilities and
excitement of self-invention.
We leave her a whole person,
embarking on a future of her
own, not one imposed on her.

Brooklyn comes from Yves
