Carolers sang at the Norfolk Librarys annual community Christmas singalong on Saturday, Nov. 28.
Norfolk Library celebrates the season

NORFOLK The Norfolk Library
held its annual community Christmas
carol singalong on Saturday, Nov. 28.
The event was organized by the
Norfolk Library Associates and was
attended by more than 100 residents.
The residents, young and old, filled
the hallways of the library and sang
Christmas classics, including 12 Days
of Christmas and Rudolph the Red

Nosed Reindeer.
Co-organizer Hope Childs said
that nobody knew how many years
the event has been held for.
Its been here much longer than
weve been around, Childs said. For
at least 30 years.
The Norfolk Library Associates
is a fantastic group that was founded
in 1974, library director Ann Have-
meyer said. Its an important arm of

the library that does art exhibits and
provides money through fundraising
programs.
After the singalong, residents
walked across the street to the town
Green where members of the Norfolk
Volunteer Fire Department turned
on the lights on the towns Christmas tree.
Santa Claus was swarmed by a
large group of children, and he gave

out candy canes as he tried to make
his way to the tree.
We always had a community
Christmas tree and we were possibly
the first in the country to have one
Havemeyer said. I think this event
started when people gathered around
the tree and they came into the library
for refreshments because it was cold
outside.
Mural Project moves forward with permits

WINSTED While the organization is still raising funds in order to
obtain a matching grant from the state,
plans for the American Mural Project
(AMP) are moving forward.
AMP is located at 100 Whiting St.,
which was where the Winsted Hosiery
Factory operated for many years. AMP
purchased the location in 2006.
Founder and Sharon resident Ellen
Griesedieck, who previously worked
as a photographer for various national
publications, transformed the old
factory building into a mural that she
said is a tribute to working Americans,
with various workers in many different
fields depicted in the art itself.

When assembled and completed
the mural will be 120 feet long, five
stories high and 10 feet deep.
In previous interviews, she said that
for the project to be completed $2.4
million needs to be raised in order
to renovate the building, including
raising the buildings roof to accommodate the mural.
In August 2014, Gov. Dannel P.
Mallow (D) announced that the state
would award AMP a $1 million challenge grant.
In order for AMP to receive the
funds, a deadline was set for Aug. 31 for
the organization to raise $1.4 million.
The state eventually moved its
deadline to the end of December.

On Nov. 13, Griesedieck applied
for a building permit with the towns
building department, paying $36,175.
According to the permit application, the permit is for phase one
renovations and a vertical addition
to the main studio building on AMP
property.
Work will include repair and reinforcement of existing brick masonry
walls.
The work will also include replacing the existing roof structure in
order to raise it to a new height with
structural steel framing with exterior
metal siding and roof finishes.
Griesedieck added that the work
will also include new mechanical, electrical, plumbing and fire protection
(MEP/FP) systems and code-required
fire alarm systems.
She lists the cost of construction
work at $2,182,050, mechanical work
at $101,300, electrical work at $48,500,
plumbing work at $45,150 and demolition work at $23,000 for an estimated
total of $2.4 million of work.
For several years, one of Griesediecks goals has been to raise enough
funds to raise the roof of AMPs main
studio building by 30 feet in order to
accommodate the mural.
In several previous interviews,

Tourist gazebos future unclear

WINSTED In late November,
town officials debated via a series of
emails over the future of a long standing and long unused gazebo for tourist
information.
However, the future of the gazebo
remains unclear as this issue of The
Winsted Journal goes to press.
According to Mayor Candy Perez,
the gazebo was built in 2001 and is in
front of a building owned by Northwestern Connecticut Community
College (NCCC) on 100 S. Main St.
The building is being used for the
colleges Allied Health and Veterinary
Technology programs.
In July, the states Bond Commission authorized $24.7 million for
NCCC to construct a new building.
Plans for the building, which will
be built next to the current building
housing the colleges programs, have
been in the works for several years.
According to Friends of Main Street
SEND LETTERS
editor@winstedjournal.com
The Winsted Journal, 396 Main St.,
PO Box 835, Winsted, CT 06098
President Fran Delaney, the town

originally erected the gazebo. It was
used for several years as a manned
welcoming center, including tourist information and brochures with
information about the town.
Delaney said that Friends of
Main Street eventually took over
the operation of the gazebo.
It was another situation where
the town did not have enough
manpower and funding to maintain it, Delaney said. Friends of
Main Street helped to keep the
gazebo repaired and its supply of
tourism fliers.
Friends of Main Street member
Jeanne Hinman said that the gazebo was paid for and erected by
the towns Economic Development
Commission and NCCC.
You can notice that the same
type of gazebo is in front of the
Founders Hall building, Hinman
said.There was no Friends of Main
Street when the gazebo was erected.

The town had a tourism committee. I

was one of the volunteers who operated the gazebo. Many of the brochures
that we gave out were printed by the
state, including maps.
Delaney said that the gazebo has
not been operated or maintained for
the past six years, despite a sign on it
that still says tourist information on
the front of it.
As times changed, people are
less interested in paper documents
when they can get information from
a smartphone and laptops, he said.
Those type of fliers are no longer used
to advertise. Theres been a change in
our culture.
A lot of work went into maintaining it, Hinman said. We had a good
group of volunteers to run it. Eventually,

the tourism committee disbanded.
On Tuesday, Nov. 24, Department of
Public Works (DPW) Director Jim Rollins sent an email to town officials, and
officials from Friends of Main Street,
which said that the college has requested
the gazebo be moved from the property
due to the start of construction on the
new building.
The gazebo is roughly 12 feet wide,
12 feet high and 20 feet long, Rollins
wrote in his email. This is considered
an oversize load which requires permits from the state. I have my doubts
that we could move it without causing
some damage to the gazebo. Where is it

Food pantry seeks donations

By KATERI KOSEK
COLEBROOK The towns

food pantry, sponsored by the
Colebrook Congregational
Church at 471 Smith Road, is
looking for nonperishable items
to feed local families.
Pastor Geoffrey Smith said a
food drive that started several
weeks ago is a success so far, and
Colebrook Consolidated School
helped by running a food drive
for them, collecting over 400
items. Were going to be able
to be a lot more generous, said
Smith.
The items are distributed at
the church in Colebrook every
Monday, and they support
between four and six families,
including some senior citizens
who are on their own.
On Monday, Nov. 30, the
pantry also had squash and other
things left over from the Harvest
Table held every Thanksgiving.
Smith said the produce will go to
the Open Door soup kitchen in
Winsted if it wasnt taken by the
Colebrook families that evening.
Smith hopes to incorporate
fresh food into the Monday distribution as well. The church just
got a grant from the Northwest

Connecticut Foundation to buy
food. Smith said they would be
able to get gift cards and use
that money to buy fresh fruit
and vegetables, which could
be distributed the same day.
Obviously we have no storage
capacity for fresh food, he said.
However, the pantry is trying
to increase their storage capacity
for nonperishable food. Another
grant, from Colebrook Associates, will allow them to redo their
shelving and store more food.
Donations for the Colebrook
Food Pantry can be dropped
off 24/7 in a bin in the churchs

lower parking lot, or at a bin at
Colebrook Store during business
hours.
Item s n e e de d i n clu de
non-perishables such as cereal,
pasta, rice, soup, peanut butter,
canned vegetables and fruits,
mac and cheese, condiments, as
well as ziploc bags. Soups are
always good because they have
all the food groups in them,
said Smith.

Students perform black comedy

By ERICA TAYLOR
WINSTED From Friday,

Nov. 20, through Sunday, Nov.
22, students of the Northwestern
Regional High Schools Drama
Club performed two back-toback comedies Black Comedy by Peter Shaffer and Zap
by Paul Fleischman.
The two one-act plays, which
were performed in the schools
theater, featured a collective cast
of 35 students and was directed
by alumni.
Kalyn Zwart, Skylar Zygmont,
Guy Hayes and Keith Winegar
were artistic and associate directors for the productions.
The shows featured ambitious

scripts and were zealously tackled
by student actors on the opening
night.
During the performance
on Nov. 20, laughter spread
across the packed auditorium,
composed of a mix of fellow
students, family members and
staff.
The reverse lighting scheme
in Black Comedy had cast
members tripping and breaking
props as they felt their way
around in the dark.
Programs included paper
remote control zappers, as
the actors of Zap were subject
to the ever-changing whim of
an imaginary audience.
An air of passion and camaraderie was apparent among the
actors, who had been working
on their performances for over
a month.
All but one of the evenings
actors were of high school age
and the majority of which have
been involved in many other
theatrical productions at the
high school.
They did auditions back in
the end of September and then
started rehearsals, Karin Taylor
of the Theater Arts Parents said.
They rehearsed a couple nights
a week, and on Saturdays worked
on the set and the costumes.
This winter, make

sure the warm air
stays inside,
where it belongs.
Foundation gives
$50,000 in grants
TORRINGTON Charlotte Hungerford Hospitals
Center For Youth and Families
has received a $50,000 grant
from The Foundation for Community Health Inc.,that helped
create their new multi-functional space for group sessions and
play therapy.
The foundations generosity
has allowed us to create an amazing new space at our facility.
The new area provides us with
a place to be creative, engage
and interact with others, and
do cooperative games. It allows
a place for our kids to play and
experience joy; ultimately it
builds relationships that lead
to enhanced communication,
and understanding, as well as
the opportunity to practice new
skills, said Joan M. Neveski,
clinical manager of the center.
When the hospital decided to
consolidate its child behavioral
health services at one location,
we envisioned a space we could
use for multiple purposes, and
this is it. It provides a safe environment for developing a childs
cognitive, social, emotional and
physical well-being, and serves
as a place where kids of all ages
can just be kids.
The renovated area was formally a community room for the
previous tenets, and is located
in the basement of the Centers
new location at 50 Litchfield St.,
Torrington. The space features
a large area and stage that is
used for game-based and team
building activities, art and relaxation therapy, and movement,
role play and drama exercises.
The area is primarily used to
serve children and parents in
the Centers Bridges Extended
Day program; however all of the
programs and staff use the space
for activities and gathering.
The new activity room allows
staff to further embrace the
children, families, and caregivers in a supportive therapeutic

environment. Studies show
that the characteristics of the
physical environment in which
care is delivered affect outcomes,
the satisfaction of those being
served, and the satisfaction of
those providing the service.
Funding for this project
was provided in whole by the
Foundation for Community
Health Inc. The Foundation for
Community Health invests in
people, programs and strategies
that work to improve the health
of the residents of the northern
Litchfield Hills and the greater
Harlem Valley. The Foundation
makes grants, conducts research,
provides technical assistance,
and supports collaborations
and advocacy. Since inception,
the Foundation has awarded
almost $9 million dollars in
grants that have helped many
in our community. In addition
to its direct funding of health
projects, FCH initiates forums,
conferences, workshops, and
other educational programs
aimed at improving access to
healthcare for people living in
the FCH community.
The Center for Youth and
Families is a professional mental health service that assists
children, adolescents and their
families with emotional, behavioral, developmental and family
difficulties. The centers interdisciplinary team of licensed
therapists, child and adolescent
psychiatrists, psychiatric nurses
and master-level prepared interns offers diagnostic evaluations, community services and
education and psychotherapy
treatment.

Winsted
EDC cuts meeting short
By JESSE WILLIAMS
WINSTED The Economic Development Commission
(EDC) held an abbreviated
meeting on Tuesday, Dec. 1,
at Town Hall centered mostly
around the discussion of a few
town initiatives.
Present at the meeting were
Chairman Frank Berg, Vice
Chairman Anna Norland, Economic Development Consultant
Craig Stevenson, Secretary Susie
Collier, members Dick Labich,
Heather Rodriguez and Stacey
Litke. Absent was Board of Selectman Liaison Melissa Bird.
There was some confusion
at the beginning of the meeting
when, after commission members had already voted on some
minor resolutions and made one
or two procedural motions, Stevenson arrived late and informed
the commission there could be
no official action taken at the
meeting.
The meeting had not been
publicly posted, Stevenson said,
and due to state Freedom of Information laws the commission
was prohibited from passing
any measures or exercising its
authority in an official capacity.
You can have the meeting,
you can discuss as much as you
want, Stevenson said. You just
cant take any action.
After a short debate, Berg and
the other commission members
determined to go over the same
planned docket as an agenda for
discussion.
Rodriguez began the repurposed meeting by informing
commission members of a new
Winsted Revitalization Committee, a grassroots community
organization which was working
with the mayors office and asked

for the participation of commission members.
Just to be knowledgeable
on what the group is, if we need
anybody, said Rodriguez.
Stevenson also presented a
report on upcoming and ongoing
town business, including most
immediately the possibility of
Winsted applying for a Small
Town Economic Assistance
Program (STEAP) grant.
According to Stevenson, the
grant is awarded to a small Connecticut town that has a need and
can show it has a project that is
shovel-ready and already has
some skin in the game from
local money. He said the town
would most likely present a plan
to revamp the streets around
Whiting Mills.
Its extremely political, said
Stevenson. Anything that they
can do to make it more difficult
for the town, thats what they do.
The grant application is not
due until Jan. 16, Stevenson said,
and the award will not be made
until the following autumn.
Manufacturing and ways to
bring business into the town
were also discussed briefly. Berg
said that large manufacturing
companies might be enticed into
the area with logistical savings,
and possible reciprocal savings.
The commission was unable to
draw up a comprehensive way
to do this, although Stevenson
suggested using a survey and
possibly creating a list of local
businesses and their assets they
could be used to advertise the
opportunities of the town.
Other discussion included the
creation of the EDCs website
and future collaboration with
the interim town manager.

Mills, 100 Whiting St., will be Saturday and Sunday, Dec. 5 and 6,

been here, Paul Hart said to
a couple of dozen people who
came out on Sunday, Nov. 22,
to explore the remains of Camp
White in American Legion State
Forest. The camp, built in 1933,
was one of 21 Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) camps
throughout the state, housing
upwards of 160 young men who
went to work building roads,
bridges, trails and the stone
museum at Peoples State Forest.
Camp White was named for
Alain White, Hart said.
He had big plans for Peoples Forest, but was lacking
state money and labor, Hart
said. Therefore, he lobbied to
get the CCC camp here.
Attendees gathered around a
huge stone chimney that stands
in the woods off West River
Road, all that is left of the camps
infirmary.
Residents followed along
on their maps, and noted the
chimney, clearly visible in an

old photo of the barracks.
None of the other buildings
had anything like it, but they
wanted to keep the patients
warm, I guess, Hart said.
Hart is vice president of the
Barkhamsted Historical Society
and on the board of the recently formed FALPS: Friends of
American Legion and Peoples
State Forests.
FALPS had their initial
meeting in May of this year, and
have had a number of programs
involving trails and invasive
species work, said Ralph Scarpino, president of the board. The
group is still getting organized
and writing bylaws. Were
thinking what we want to do,
Scarpino said, noting that most
friends group are associated
with bigger state parks. The
focus of FALPS will not be just
on recreation in the park but
also on the forestry, fisheries
and wildlife, said Scarpino. A
slightly different slant on what a
friends groups does, he added.
Prior to the tour of the camp
site, FALPS hosted CCC his-

torian Martin Podskoch, who

gave a talk to over 30 people
at the Barkhamsted Senior
Center, discussing the CCC
and sharing numerous slides
of CCC activities throughout
the state. Over 30,000 young
men from Connecticut joined
the CCC, dispersing around
the country to wherever they
were told. They received $30 a
month, which had to go home
to their families except for $5
in spending money.
Podskoch emphasized the
bond that these young men
formed at the camps, where they
not only gained weight, but life
experiences. All camp members
came from poor families struggling through the Depression.
The camps, which were
mixed race, operated on regimented schedules.

In the evenings the men took
classes, played sports, and interacted with local communities.
They put out camp newspapers,
which Podschoch said were the
most valuable resources for
learning about the camps.
Those exploring the remains
stood in what used to be the
center of the barracks. A ring
of stones, visible in the photo,
still remained.
Thursday nights they had
programming, Hart said. People from the community would
come to watch or sometimes
participate. It must have been a
bright spot in the middle of the
Depression for a town to have
one of these camps.

No shortage
of big games
Last week, 10-6; for the season,
100-76. Pick of the Week, 1-0; for
the season, 7-5.
ot a great week, but

certainly better than
the previous two weeks.
Honestly, Im just happy to be
back on the winning side of
picking games. In all the years
that Ive been doing this I had
never experienced two consecutive losing weeks. If I were a
betting man Id be broke and
homeless.
I got off to a good start on
Thanksgiving Day two out of
three of my picks were winners.
However, the biggest accomplishment of the day came when
my 37th attempt at roasting a
turkey was a complete success.
Honestly, after all these years of
sub-par results, this years bird
featured something I didnt
think was possible truly moist
breast meat.
I must admit my bonus
pick of Gilbert/Northwestern
to win their matchup against
Coginchaug on T-Day was off
the mark. However, the visitors
kind of hoodwinked the Jackets
by switching to a passing attack
after a full season of featuring a
top-shelf running game. To their
credit, the Jackets stopped their
running game but werent fully
prepared for their passing game.
It doesnt seem possible but
we are now in December with
just five weeks left in the regular
season. There will be no shortage
of big games, so lets get on with
it. And as always, good luck with
your picks.
Thursday, Dec. 3
Green Bay at Detroit
The Packers cannot afford
a loss when you consider they
have a games against the Raiders
and Cards on the road and the
Vikings at home to close out
the season. It wont be easy, but
I think that Aaron Rodgers will
get out of his funk and lead the
Packers to a 34-27 win.
Sunday, Dec. 6
Arizona at St. Louis
This game wont necessarily
be easy, but the Cards are headed
for a division crown and they
win in this one, 29-19.
Atlanta at Tampa Bay
At this point in time I dont
see the Falcons winning on the
road. The Bucs continue to improve and win this one, 20-17.
Baltimore at Miami
Not a lot at stake in this one.
Miami wins at home, 24-20.
Carolina at New Orleans
Looks like the end of the
line for the Saints this season.
Cam Newton and the Panthers
continue to roll on undefeated,
24-17.
Cincinnati at Cleveland
Sad days in Cleveland when
it comes to the Browns. One of
the most storied franchises in
the NFL, the whole team is in
shambles. Bengals win, 34-10.
Houston at Buffalo
Both teams are alive in the
Wild Card hunt but the Texans
are red hot. Ill go against the
grain in his one and take Houston on the road, 23-19.
Jacksonville at Tennessee
Neither team figures in the
playoff hunt, so Ill stick with
the home team even though
the Titans are 0-6 in their own
The Yellowjackets went up against Coginchaug High School on Thursday, Nov. 26, at Van Why Field.
Pinks

stadium. Tennessee wins, 20-17.
NY Jets at NY Giants
The Jets looked sharp against
the Dolphins, while the Giants
stunk up the field against the
Redskins. I kind of hope Im
wrong, but Ill take the Jets,
30-27.
San Francisco at Chicago
The 49ers played the Cards
tough at home but have had
no success on the road (0-5).
The Bears are unpredictable
but should be able to handle
the Niners, 23-17.
Seattle at Minnesota
I would love to see the Seahawks win, but in this one Im
not sure they are capable of
roughing up the Vikings defense
like they did the Steelers. This
should be a great game, and Im
sticking with Seattle and Russell
Wilson one more time, 27-24.
Denver at San Diego
The Manning-less Broncos
looked solid in beating the
Patriots, and they should fare
well even on the road. Denver
wins, 24-19, and this is my Pick
of the Week.
Kansas City at Oakland
This is a great rivalry game
going all the way back to the AFL.
Both teams are on the rise and
I like them both, but someone
has to win. I think the Chiefs
are hot and win this one, 27-23.
Philadelphia at New England
As long as Tom Brady is not
injured the Pats will find a way to
beat the faltering Eagles. Patriots
win, 33-23.
Indianapolis at Pittsburgh
With or without Big Ben
the Steelers are tough at home.
The Colts are playing with Matt
Hasselbeck at QB, but I still like
my Steelers in this one, 34-29.
Monday, Dec. 7
Dallas at Washington
No Romo, maybe they can
trade for Johnny Football. Dallas
will play the Skins tough, but in
the end the Redskins come out
on top, 24-20.
Yellowjackets finish season with even record

WINSTED On their final
game of the season, Thanksgiving day, The Gilbert School and
Northwestern Regional High
Schools combined football
team, The Yellowjackets, lost
to Coginchaug High School on
Thursday, Nov. 26, at Van Why
Field.
The final score was 49-21,
giving the team an even season
of five wins and five losses.
Its always great playing
had a controversy over the last

week and they now have a new
coaching staff in place. They
probably know more about us
than we know about them. So
it should be interesting. Weve
played good in the last couple of
weeks and our defense has been
playing good. So as long as we
can contain their main players,
we should be alright.
Salius said that the team did
as well as he expected them to do.
We had a lot of young players
with our team this year, Salius
said. A lot of these young kids

stepped up and played well.
Were pretty much right on track
of where we thought we would
be. We lost a few close and heartbreaking games. But as long as we
end this season with a winning
record it will be a turnaround
from the last season, which was
our goal going into the season.
Sophomore Billy Komos
juniors Gabe Schwartz and
Jake Roth, along with senior Joe
Colombie, all made touchdowns
for the team during the game.
Ski Sundown resort in holding pattern

By JESSE WILLIAMS
NEW HARTFORD For
most people, the mild and
temperate beginning of the
winter season has been a pleasant surprise. Heavy coats are
still mothballed away in closets,
and 50-degree afternoons allow
for outdoor activities without
fear of frostbite or of sliding
suddenly down the sidewalk on
a patch of ice.
For others, though, the cold
cannot come soon enough.
We have people every day
calling us up, said Lori Shield,
marketing director of Ski Sundown in New Hartford.Theyre
asking, When can you get those
snow machines on? When are
you gonna be open?
I tell you, were getting a little
antsy ourselves, she laughed.
With the above-freezing temperatures and drizzling rain of
the past few weeks, Ski Sundown
has been unable to kick off the
winter sports season.
Because were in Connecticut, we have to depend on
Mother Nature to deliver good
temperatures, said Shield. For
now, we just wait.
Ski Sundown usually aims for
a Thanksgiving opening, Shield
said, which is in time for the first
school break. She said this kind of
inconsistent weather is not that

Thanksgiving morning, head

coach Scott Salius said in an
interview before the game. Its
a tradition unlike any other
sport. High school football is
the only sport that plays on a
major holiday. To see the home
crowd, including the fans and
the alumni, its always a great
feeling.
Before the game started, Salius said he was not exactly sure
how the Yellowjackets would do.
It all depends on a lot of factors, Salius said. Coginchaug
uncommon at all, and that on

average, the resort is not fully operational until mid-December.
Christmas break is the big
one, she said.
This years uncooperative
temperatures are poorly timed,
however, as during the offseason
Ski Sundown acquired 20 more
high-efficiency snow guns and
laid 3000 feet of pipe, which
will allow the resort to get up to
full capacity and pave all 16 of
their trails more quickly, as well
as maintain the slopes through
mid-winter rain or thaws.
The resort still needs five to
seven days of below-freezing
temperatures, Shield said, before
they can turn on the guns for the

first time.
We try to get a decent base,
edge to edge, said Shield.Thats
what our customers expect.
The most eager demographic,
she said, are families, specifically
the 4- to 8-year-old children.
According to Shield, in past
seasons the resort has run out
of room in its Puffin classes,
which serve that age group. She
said in particular, after-school
programs and kindergarten
aged children are ready for the
season to start.
I think families are seeing the
value of our lessons, kids having
fun in a safe environment, and
learning good habits from the

beginning, she said.
Another addition that is
generating excitement this year,
Shield said, is a new race course,
which will provide a little more
challenge for experienced skiers
and snowboarders. Another
upcoming event is a New Years
Eve torchlight parade, where
ski instructors form a nighttime
brigade down the mountain,
which stays open until midnight.
As far as what anyone can do
to hasten the beginning of the
season, Shield offered only one
piece of advice.
Think cold thoughts, she
laughed.

FRIDAY, DECEMBER 4, 2015
The need is
always great
ver the past few weeks The Winsted Journal has profiled residents and organizations making a difference
in the community in dealing with homeless residents
and those in need. Those organizations include The Open
Door Soup Kitchen and the Northwest YMCA.
Since the beginning of November, we have written about
residents and groups who held fundraisers and food drives
for these organizations.
While it is great to see so many concerned residents
during the holiday season, it would be great to see fundraisers and food drives all year round.
According to organizers with The Open Door Soup Kitchen, which is located behind St. James Episcopal Church on
160 Main St., the soup kitchen serves hot meals to approximately 11,500 people a year up to 70 residents a day.
In September, during a meeting at the Northwest YMCA
with State Department of Housing Commissioner Evonne
Klein, State Rep. Jay Case (R-63) said that there are 150
chronically homeless residents living in Litchfield County.
Shelter manager Bruce Mochan said that the Northwest
YMCAs emergency shelter has been continually filled to capacity for several years and the organization has turned away
86 percent of shelter applicants.
According to data from the U.S. Census, using last sampled data from 2013, approximately 7 percent of the population in Winsted lives in poverty.
The rising number of students from year to year in the
Winchester school district who are in the reduced or free
lunch program is a sign in itself that town families and residents are struggling.
Again, we applaud residents for stepping up to the plate to
help out these organizations. However, it would be great to
see year-round support, not just during the holidays.

YMCA call 860-379-0708.
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
The Foundry

In other words, legislatures are free to do

most things, but they
cannot bind future
legislatures.
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.

Esty raises lots of money,

not much opposition
ongresswoman Elizabeth
Esty is an endangered
Democrat, targeted and
besieged by the Tea Party, the
Brothers Koch and others on
the radical right. I know this
because she tells me so several
times a week in emails from her,
her associates, her daughter and
sometimes her famous friends
like Nancy Pelosi.
The correspondence occasionally mentions issues, but
mostly its about money
mine going to her. According
to the emails, Im one of her
enthusiastic contributors, which
represents a very good return on
an investment of nothing.
I believe giving to a candidate
isnt a good idea as long as Im
involved in journalism, even
writing opinion. Therefore, Ive
never contributed to a candidate. I did vote for Esty once
and against her once and have
registered with both parties in
order to exercise the right denied
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.
She is apparently done well,
even without my $3 or $8. The CT

the General Assembly
are to be commended
for their 2015 Second Chance
Society legislation, reversing
racist laws that filled our jails
with nonviolent drug users, most
of them African-American and
Latino.
But it is ill-advised to pursue
announced policies emanating
from that corrective action;
especially plans for secret trials
of defendants in their early 20s.
Secret trials are unconstitutional. James Madison told Congress in 1789 that he is proposing
what became our Bill of Rights,
To satisfy the public mind that
their liberties will be perpetual.
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.
To apply our secret juvenile
courts questionable proceedings at the very least; who
knows what happens to those
kids? to adults is no way to
practice American justice. As a
former prosecutor, the governor
should know better.

how our criminal justice system

works.
As we think about putting the
adjudication of more citizens behind a wall of secrecy, claiming in
part that their brains are not fully
developed, we should remember
that 18-year-olds can vote, they
can marry and be mothers and
fathers; by age 21 a person can
teach, become a military officer
and lead platoons into battle, or
design bridges as an engineer.
That is just for starters on what
we entrust 20-somethings to
accomplish.
We cannot erode basic American rights in a gullible effort to
expunge criminal activity. Saying something never happened
when it did is simply Orwellian.
Rewriting history or claiming it
did not happen is an old Soviet
ploy unworthy of free societies.
The governor is already
dialing back from his initial
announcement last week about
more secrecy in our courts. He
floated the idea. Government
leaders are assigned to ponder it.
It is very simple it was written
down in the first 10 amendments
to the U.S. Constitution, our Bill
of Rights we have the right to
a speedy and public trial.

If You Ask Me
Dick Ahles
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.
Also said to be making calls
about a possible run against
Esty is one Clay Cope, the first
selectman of Fairfield Countys
smallest town, Sherman. Cope
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.
Correction: The 1986 immigration law signed by President
Reagan gave legal status, not citizenship, to nearly 3 million illegal
immigrants. I apologize for the
dumb error in last weeks column.

GEIGER
Winsted Journal, Geiger said he
has lived for the past 33 years in
Barkhamsted.
According to his resume,
Geiger served in the U.S. Navy
from 1968 to 1971 as a Spanish language communications
specialist.
He earned his bachelors
degree from Wright State University in Dayton, Ohio, in
1972, earned his masters degree
from Antioch College in Yellow
Springs, Ohio, in 1974 and his
Program for Management Development Degree from Harvard
Business School in 1983.
From 1971 to 1974 he served
as the general manager of Sinclair & Valentine Printing Ink
in Dayton, Ohio.
He moved on to vice president
of operations and manufacturing at Pitney Bowes Corporation
in Stamford from 1974 to 1982.
After serving at Pitney Bowes,
he became CEO of Royal Business Forms from 1983 to 1987,
a corporate vice president and
division president the Nashua
Corporation in Nashua, N.H.,
from 1987 to 1997, then the operating general partner of Stolberg,
Meehan & Scano in New York
City from 1997 to 2000.
Starting in 2001 and until
2004 he was the independent
advisor to several private equity sponsors, including Goldner,
Hawn, Johnson & Morrison in
Minneapolis, Minn., Colonnade
Capital in Richmond, Va., and
CM Capital and EOS Credit Opportunities Fund, both in New
York City.
From 2004 until recently he
served on the board of several
German companies on behalf of
several creditors, including Treofan for Goldman Sachs, Kunert
for Credit Suisse and Italian company Jallette for Monarch Capital.
Geiger said that he has never
served as a town manager before
for any municipality.
Im just trying to help out,
Geiger said on why he applied for
the position. Ive had conversations with several of the selectmen

who asked if I would be interested
as a potential candidate. They said
they would really like to have the
help. I felt like someone had to
step up to the plate because the
town is struggling with a lot of
issues.
Geiger said that, even though
he lives in Barkhamsted, he considers Winsted asthe central part
of the metro area.
I tell people that I live in
Barkhamsted but I go to Winsted
frequently enough for the grocery
store and its library, he said. I
might as well say I live there. I
think its important to try to step
up when someone needs help.
Geiger said that his primary
goal is to create interim stability
for the town.
I want to help maintain some
sort of continuity with what
[Martin] had been trying to accomplish along with the goals
and needs of the people elected
to serve the town. While I have
not served as a town manager, I
have operated a lot of different
sized companies in many cities
and overseas. I think I can bring
some of my management, leadership and administrative skills to
the town.
Geiger said that one of his big
challenges will be dealing with the
towns budget.
I have to look at the reconciliation of the towns budget and its
issues along with the finances of
the troubled school system, which
the state has been attempting
to resolve, Geiger said. I think
that there needs to be institutional support for civic services,
in particular the Northwestern
Connecticut Community College
community.
Geiger added that he does not
plan to apply for the permanent
town manager position.
It is not my intention at all,
Geiger said. My intention is to
serve as the interim town manager to maintain continuity.

AMP
Griesedieck said that the building next door to the main studio
building will be renovated into a
visitors center.
Mimi Madden, AMPs development director, spoke about
both fundraising and construction progress at a special
Economic Development Commission meeting on Wednesday,
Nov. 18.
We are at 90 percent of our
fundraising goal in order to
meet the states challenge grant,
Madden told the audience at the
meeting, which was held at the
former Kathys Cupboard on
406 Main St.
The meeting was held to
discuss the progress of several
economic development projects.
We are projecting meeting
that goal by the end of December, she said. The renovation
on the first of two buildings
will begin next year. We project
that it will open to the public by
mid-2017. Ellen wrote checks for
fees for the project and it was a
nice milestone.
Madden spoke about AMPs
economic development ideas in
terms of improving the Winsted
area.
One of the things we have
done in presenting to potential
corporate and business supporters in the area is to try and
bolster what kind of economic
and social impact AMP will
have on Winsted once it is up
and running, she said. One of

the most encouraging things we
have done is meet with the states
new Director of Culture Kristina
Newman-Scott. She visited AMP,
and she is very enthusiastic
about the project. She is somebody who is passionate about
arts transforming communities
economically.
Madden used MASS MoCA
in North Adams, Mass., as an
example of how the arts community can economically transform
a town.
The art museum is located
in two former factory buildings.
Winsted is a similar kind
of depressed mill town like
North Adams, Madden said.
Other towns have these very
large former factory buildings
and theyre fixing them up.
We used MASS MoCA as an
example because of its impact
on North Adams. It has had a
huge impact on the town as a
cultural destination.
Madden said that a capital
campaign for phase two of construction for AMP will start as
soon as phase one is completed
in 2017.
We want to work on an
atrium that will connect the two
buildings together, she said.
We have four acres of land and
part of it will become a park. We
are hoping to connect some of
the greenways around the area
of the site and amplify them.

Dear Earthtalk: The holidays

can be so wasteful. What are some
ways we can green our celebrations this year?
Belinda McHugh
Los Angeles, Calif.
Sipping eggnog, listening to
carols by the fire and enjoying the
beauty of colorfully decorated
homes are all warm memories
the holiday season conjures. Yet
with the rising popularity of
Black Friday and Cyber Monday, millions of people are now
increasingly absorbed in the
seasons commercialism. The
National Retail Federation estimates that holiday sales this year
will add up to $630.5 billion. All
of this shopping generates a lot of
trash. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA), Americans throw away
approximately one million extra
tons of trash between Thanksgiving and New Years Day.
Simplify the Holidays, an
e-booklet from the Center for a
New American Dream (CNAD),
reports that nine in 10 Americans
believe holidays should be more
about family and caring for others, not giving and receiving gifts,
yet the average U.S. consumer
plans to spend more this year
about $805 on holiday
shopping than last year. To help
provide meaningful ways to have
fun with less stuff this season,
Simplify the Holidays includes
ideas for simple gifts, low-waste
wrapping, ways to connect with
your children during the holidays, and more. Readers are asked
EARTHTALK
Editors of E/The
Environmental
Magazine
to consider creating holidays

that instill more meaning into
the season and encourage more
sharing, laughter, creativity and
personal renewal.
Its not about depriving
yourself of things during the
holiday season, Wen Lee, director of online media and engagement with CNAD, emphasizes.
Its about refocusing on things
that really matter, and reducing
stress.
Additional easy, stress-free
ways to respect the environment
during the holidays include carrying reusable totes when shopping for gifts, and using LED
lights, which last 20-30 years and
require 1/50th the electricity of
conventional lights for decorating
your tree or home. According to
CalRecycle, the 2.6 billion holiday
cards sold each year could fill a
football field 10 stories high
fortunately, the multitude of ecards available on the web today
provide a no-waste alternative.
Further, the 33 million Christmas trees the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) estimates are sold in North America
each year dont have to end up
in landfills some areas have
recycling programs that turn
Christmas trees into wood chips
and mulch, and some companies

LED lights use 1/50th the electricity of conventional holiday

lights and can last for decades.
will home-deliver full-size, potted
live trees and pick them up after
New Years and re-plant them.
And with nearly 60 percent of
Americans admitting they receive unwanted gifts during the
holidays, asking friends and family what gifts they really need or
want is an easy way to save waste
and minimize time-consuming
returns.
Greening your holiday season
certainly helps the environment,
but research shows it is also good
for personal and family wellbeing. The 2002 study, What
Makes for a Merry Christmas?
by psychologists Tim Kasser and
Kennon Sheldon concluded that
family and religion provided the
greatest benefit to holiday wellbeing. Kasser recently told the
American Psychological Association (APA): [Our study] found

that to the extent people focused
their holiday season around materialistic aims like spending and
receiving, the less they were focused on spiritual aimswe also
found people reported merrier
Christmases when spirituality
was a large part of their holiday,
but reported lower Christmas
well-being to the extent that the
holiday was dominated by materialistic aspects.
gazebo, but instead will be storing

it for a limited time.
While the fate of the gazebo
remains unclear, Delaney said he
had some ideas for it.
We could put it either in West
End Park or East End Park,he said.

The roof is in need in repair. The
last time I was in it there needed to
be some cosmetic repairs, including painting. It still has structural
integrity.

going? This is part of the permit
process. It should go to its permanent home so we dont need
to go through this process again.
DPW is not interested in paying
for the permits or the trucking
company hired to haul. DPW
would be willing to assist whoever
is contracted to move the gazebo,
but it needs to be quick. We are
still not ready for winter. Often
the company that built it could be
hired to move it again, but they
are no longer in business. NCCC
called another company but they
only move their buildings and
declined to do the job.
Rollins wrote that the college
expected the gazebo off of its
property by Tuesday, Dec. 1.
I suspect that disassembly of
the wall sections would not be too
big a deal, Rollins wrote. But
dealing with the roof would not be
easy without equipment. I dont
see much likelihood anything like
that could be accomplished over
the weekend, even if a viable location were found. Plus, preparation
of site would need to be done and
I cant imagine the building could
be just put somewhere without a
permit.
On Monday, Nov. 30, NCCC
Dean of Administration Steven
Frazier wrote the group of town
officials to say that the college will
allow the gazebo to be moved to the
Arts and Science Center property
on Whiting Street.
I have no alternative thoughts,
Delaney wrote back in favor of the
colleges offer.Given the fact that it
has essentially been in the colleges
care for all these years anyway,
seems appropriate for it to stay
with the college.
Friends of Main Street director Helen Bunnell emailed to the
group that a family from New
Hartford stopped into the organizations office and expressed
interest in taking the gazebo.
However,I would much prefer
that the college move it to another

location on campus where the students, faculty and community will
be able to enjoy it, Bunnell wrote.
In response, Frazier wrote that
the college will not be using the

Gilbert School donates food

to community members
By SHAW ISRAEL
IZIKSON
WINSTED Members of
The Gilbert School community packaged and delivered
food to needy Gilbert families
in the community on Monday, Nov. 23.
According to school community liaison Craig Schroeder, students, faculty and
staff members all collected
the food over the course of
November.
Teachers and staff members gathered at the back
parking lot of Supersaver
IGA on Nov. 23 to package
the food and deliver them to
48 Gilbert families in need.

Local organizations help those in need

By ALICIA KIRSCH
WINSTED Several local

organizations help those in need
and the homeless all year round,
not just during the holiday season.
The Northwest YMCA, at 480
Main St., provides shelter and
case management for individuals
and families who have nowhere
else to go.
Housing manager Bruce Mochan said the most important
thing they do is providea friendly
environment and treat everyone
with a great deal of respect.
The shelter can sleep 15 to 17
people per night, Mochan said.
Last year we served 75 people,
including many families. Gener-
ally the families or individuals are

residents for three to six months,
until they can get back on their
feet and into homes of their own.
Mochan said the state recently
changed the process of getting
into a shelter.
It starts with the potential resident dialing 211 and answering a
series of questions. If a shelter is
the appropriate option for them,
they are then referred to the Gathering Place in Torrington for an
interview, and eventually either
placed in a shelter or put onto a
wait list. This process has relieved
the shelters from having to keep
track of the wait lists and makes
sure that people are able to get a
place at the shelters in the order
in which they applied.

Among other things, Mochan
said donations of bedding for
twin beds and toiletries are always
welcomed.
860-379-0708.
Another establishment in
Winsted that is there for the
homeless community is the Open
Door Soup Kitchen, at 160 Main
St. behind St. James Episcopal
Church.
Resident Deirdre Hubbard is
one of the many volunteers at the
soup kitchen.
We generally see between 45
to 60 people every day, Hubbard
said. Most are regulars but all
are welcome to just walk in for
a meal.
The kitchen is run entirely by
volunteers and is open Monday
through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to
1:30 p.m., with lunch served from
11:30 a.m. to noon.
While they do special dinners
for the holidays, they had 87
residents come for Thanksgiving
this year, the kitchen has a steady
stream of people all year long.
During the summer, they also
have many more children come
through as they are not in school
for their meals. Hubbard says that
along with food donations, the
kitchen will accept donations of
any kind, including clothing.

The wild, famous Flood of 1955 in Salisbury

By PATRICK L. SULLIVAN
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.
PHOTO COURTESY LOU BUCCERI
Rowboats came out of storage as one of the only reliable forms of navigation during the November 1955 downpour that
flooded the region.
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.

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

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

performance.
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

guin's production design. The

gorgeous authenticity never

a cast and lead actress who
could not be more perfect.
Brooklyn is playing widely.
