A cutting edge artistFormer electrician picks up a chainsaw

BY JASON BLEAUNEWS STAFF WRITER

BROOKLYN — A new website is on the way for the town of Brooklyn as part of an attempt to be more connected with res-idents and increase com-munication between tax-payers and town officials.

First Selectman Rick Ives confirmed the move last week, stating that Brooklyn has chosen

Virtual Schools out of Massachusetts to do the work. Around six vendors responded to a call for bids for the project and Virtual Schools was the lowest at under $5,000.

“We outgrew it, frank-ly,” said Ives of the town’s current, outdated website. “It’s a system that was sort of created for us. It looked pretty, but wasn’t very functional and was

hard to navigate and store things on. More impor-tantly to me is [that] it was basically a one-way site and a way to put out information. We’ll contin-ue to do that with the new website, but people will be able to be interactive with it.”

Ives said the new web-site will allow taxpayers

WOODSTOCK — Like songbirds returning to the Quiet Corner each spring, George and Sandy Groom migrate to the Woodstock Fair every Labor Day week-end to sing the prais-es of the Connecticut

Audubon Society.“This has been a tra-

dition,” Sandy said. “George and I have par-ticularly done Friday mornings for maybe the last six years or so.”

WOODSTOCK — Chainsaw artist isn’t an occupation that guaran-tees a steady income. So Adam Mulholland knew he was working without a net when he gave up his job as an electrician. But splicing wires and con-necting lighting systems no longer held a jolt for the 39-year-old, so he decided it was time to try some-thing cutting edge.

“I was a licensed Connecticut electrician for 20 years and I saw somebody use a chainsaw to carve an eagle out of Redwood and sold it for $75,000,” Mulholland said. “That’s when I decided I wanted to do that. When I carved my first piece I quit

WOODSTOCK — Woodstock’s Labor Day tradition continued for the 154th year last weekend, as the annual Woodstock Fair invaded the Quiet Corner, drawing thousands upon thousands to the Woodstock Fairgrounds.

FUN AT THE FAIR

Since school is just begin-ning, I thought you might find it interesting to read a little about the schools and teach-ers 100 years ago.

This summary of school attendance in February 1914 is quite intriguing. Note the various schools and the atten-dance figures. Perhaps you recall an older relative talking about some of the teachers. I’ll also give the number of pupils enrolled in each class.

Danielson: Miss Tripp, grade 8, 26; Miss Smith, grade 7, 16; Miss Stanton, grade 6, 30; Miss Wetherell, grade 5, 20; Miss Woodworth, grade 4, 27; Miss Hammett, grade 3, 32; Miss Abel, grade 2, 30; Miss Colvin, grade 1, 38. (Imagine, 38 first graders!) Dayville: Miss F. Fuller, grades 6-8, 19; Miss Capron, grades 3-5, 28; Miss E. Fuller, grades 1-2, 34. Attawaugan: Miss McCon’ell, grades 6-8, 15; Miss Marland, grades 4-5, 22; Miss Frisell, grades 2-3, 26; Miss Leader, grades 1-2, 20. Ballouville: Miss Duffee: grades, 5-8, 17; Miss Spaulding, grades 2-4, 30; Miss Holley, grades 1-2, 34. Williamsville: Miss White: grades 4-8, 17; Miss Day, grades 1-3, 33. Killingly Center: Mr. Shippee*: grades 5-8, 33; Miss Palmer, grades 1-4, 22. East Killingly: Miss

Doty, grades 5-8, 18; Miss Chase, grades 1-4, 21. South Killingly: Mr. Douglas, grades 1-8, 34. (Note that this was truly a one-room school with all eight grades). Sparks: Miss Morisette, grades 1-6, 6. Tucker: Miss Fiske, grades 1-8, 9. East Brooklyn: Miss Arnold, grades 6-8, 15; Miss Day, grades 3-5, 23; Miss Keech, grades 1-2, 17. Brooklyn Center: Miss Ryan grades 5-8, 29; Miss Lawton, grades 11-4. Gilbert: Miss Wood, grades 1-6, 15. Stetson, Mr. Kinmonth, grades 1-8, 8. Night School. 4 months ending February 27 — 41.8 (perhaps average atten-dance).” (WCT3/5/1914).

St. James School was not included in the listing.

Linden Whipple said that Mr. Shippee was his Uncle Will, Willis H. Shippee, his grandfather’s brother. Linden’s mother’s family lived in Elmville so his mother and uncles went to that school although only the uncles had Uncle Will. Uncle Will did not play favorites with the neph-ews and may even have been harder on them. Linden also told a story about his Uncle Melvin, who was quite a char-acter. It seems that one day, Melvin locked another boy in the woodshed then went home for lunch. When he returned

to school, Melvin cautiously walked around the woodshed. Since he didn’t hear any noises, he opened the door and discov-ered the woodshed was empty. Suddenly a hand grabbed him from behind and pushed him into the woodshed. It was the teacher, his Uncle Will — making the punishment fit the crime (conversation 8/30/14).

Perhaps you’re unsure where some of these schools were located. O.W. Gray’s 1869 map of Killingly

in his “Atlas of Windham and Tolland Counties, Connecticut” shows where most of the above mentioned ones in rural Killingly were located. Tucker District School was situated at the cor-ner of Tucker District Road and Roth Road in the north-eastern part of Town. The Killingly Center School is now Killingly Grange #112, located at the corner of Route 101 and Dog Hill Road. For a photo see Natalie L. Coolidge’s and Robert A. Spencer’s “Images of America Killingly,” p. 88. Page 126 of that same vol-ume contains a picture of the South Killingly School. A sec-ond photo, on page 123, shows how it was situated adja-cent to the South Killingly Congregational Church. The school is no longer standing.

Both the Ballouville and Attawaugan Schools are still standing. Killingly Historical Society member Bernie Mitchell said that he attend-ed the Attawaugan School during the 1950’s. It is located on the west side of Country Club Road before one reaches the present Attawaugan Fire Station. Although the build-ing had four rooms, only two were used for classrooms. Grades 1-3 were downstairs and were taught by Mrs. Morse; grades 4-6 were on the second floor and were taught by Mrs. Rhodes. The spare room upstairs was used for music — two students took instrumental lessons. The schoolyard was gravel so at recess they usually played dodge ball — except during the winter. Since there was a good hill near the school, the students would bring their sleds and come to school early to have extra sledding time. Bernie couldn’t recall ever having a snow day (conversa-tion 8/20/14).

If you have school memo-ries that you’d care to share, please contact the Killingly Historical Center or e-mail me.

I’m always pleased to come across new infor-mation on noted individ-

uals from Killingly and Northeastern Connecticut. While reading Patricia F. Staley’s “Norwich in the Gilded Age: The Rose City’s Millionaires’ Triangle,” I learned about Civil War General William G. Ely who was born in Killingly in 1836. The son of Jesse S. and Harriet (Grosvenor) Ely who were living in Norwich by 1850, William was bap-

tized in the Congregational Church on Killingly Hill (now Putnam Heights) on Nov. 18, 1837. The home of his paternal grandparents Dr. Robert and Mary Grosvenor was north of the church and is still stand-ing across from the Putnam Heights Cemetery.

I believe that Jesse Ely operated a store in the vicin-ity of the present St. James Church in Danielson prior to moving to Norwich where he continued as a merchant and became tax collector and was one of the individuals who lived in what Staley called “the millionaires’ triangle.” (Staley, p. 83)

Jesse and his family appear in Killingly on the same page of the 1840 U. S. Census as members of the Hutchins and Danielson families.

According to Staley William G. Ely attended Brown University where he studied civil engineering. He then obtained a job with Rogers Locomotive Works in New Jersey. Being sent by the firm to Cuba, he returned to Norwich in 1861 at the begin-ning of the Civil War.

“Ely was commissioned a captain and was at First Manassas that summer with the First Regiment, Connecticut Volunteers…Within six months Ely was promoted to lieutenant col-onel of the Sixth Regiment, Connecticut Volunteers.

“When the Eighteenth Regiment was formed in 1862 with recruits from New London and Windham Counties, Ely was promoted to full colonel and given com-mand of the regiment. During its first battle at Winchester, Virginia in June 1863, the regiment was outnumbered by Confederates, and Colonel Ely was among those taken prisoner. In recognition of the brigade’s bravery and courage during the fighting, Confederate general James Walker returned Ely’s sword, which had been struck and broken during the battle. Colonel Ely was among the

men who used crude imple-ments to dig a tunnel and escape from the prison, but he was recaptured about forty miles away. He was returned to prison until exchanged and paroled in March 1864.

“When relieved of parole two months later, Colonel Ely rejoined the army and was given command of a brigade. At the Battle of Piedmont in June 1864, he was wounded in the throat and resigned from the army because of the dis-ability. He was later brevetted a brigadier general.” (p.85, 86).

I hope to have the pleasure of meeting Patricia Staley since she is presenting a LIR program on The Millionaire’s Triangle at QVCC. It will be most interesting to see what she adds on Ely and to see if she speaks about Leonard Ballou (founder of Ballouville) who also moved to Norwich.

Did you ever play with marbles as a child? I remem-ber spending hours shoot-ing them at recess. You won’t want to miss the next meeting of the Killingly Historical and Genealogical Society on Saturday, Sept. 6, at 1:30 p.m., at the Killingly Historical Center. Alphy Bard of the Nutmeg State Marble Collectors Club will present the program, “It’s All About Marbles.” He will bring an assortment of old marbles including early “penny com-mies” or clays and German handmade glass marbles. The program will include some of the history of marble making and early marble games. All are welcome. A 1 p.m. busi-ness meeting will take place prior to the program.

Quotation of the week

“Here in The Last Green Valley, it’s a very special place. We’re still almost 80 percent forests and farms and that’s very unusual on the eastern seaboard. You don’t find that kind of rural landscape that we have in very many places along the coast. From the work-ing lands, the agriculture and forestry and the clean water, we have some tremendous resources here. I think a lot of people who live here would like to see those resources conserved and passed on to the next generation.”

- Lois Bruinooge, the new executive director of The Last Green Valley, commenting on how she was drawn to the area and to the organization.

The Last Green Valley recently announced the departure of its very first employee, Executive Director Charlene Cutler — ushering in a new era for the organiza-tion, which oversees the management of the 35-town National Heritage Corridor.

Cutler announced her departure after accepting a posi-tion with the Blackstone River Valley National Heritage Corridor. In the wake of Cutler’s departure, The Last Green Valley also announced that Cutler’s right-hand woman, Deputy Director Lois Bruinooge, has been named executive director of the organization after holding her previous position since 2006.

Villager Staff Writer Jason Bleau sat down with Bruinooge to talk to her about her recent promotion and the future of the organization, which is housed on Main Street in Danielson.

First off, thank you for taking the time to speak with us today and con-gratulations on your recent promotion. Tell us a little bit about how you came to be involved with The Last Green Valley.

“Well, I live in Woodstock. I’ve lived there for 19 years or so. My background is rooted in the environmental and conservation community. I’m actual-ly an environmental attorney by trade. I’ve worked for many years with the Department of Environmental Protection in Massachusetts. I had an opportunity to come to The Last Green Valley when my kids were young and it’s closer to home than my last job and it was an opportunity

to work with everyone here to build on our conservation programs here. It was a per-fect opportunity at the perfect time.”

What is it about the environment and issues pertaining to it that have drawn you in to make a career out of it?

“Well, here in The Last Green Valley, it’s a very special place. We’re still almost 80 percent forests and farms and that’s very unusual on the eastern seaboard. You don’t find that kind of rural landscape that we have in very many places along the coast. From the working lands, the agri-culture and forestry and the clean water, we have some tremendous resources here. I think a lot of people who live here would like to see those resources conserved and passed on to the next generation.”

Some people might not know exactly what it is that The Last Green Valley does — so what does the organization essentially do?

“The Last Green Valley is the man-agement organization for the National Heritage Corridor. Congress designated the Corridor back in the mid-1990’s. In fact, we’re 20 years old now. It was desig-nated because of the unique and signifi-cant resources here, including cultural, historic and natural resources. Over the years we’ve tried to highlight and promote all of those resources, whether through preservation grants, water monitoring, educational programs or other means to promote and highlight the resources of the Corridor.”

You guys also have the fall Walktober events as well, correct?

“Yes, we’re in our 24th year. Walktober is a terrific collection of walks, hikes, pad-dles and events all through the Corridor [in October]. The brochures are available now and online at The Last Green Valley’s website.”

So, what is it that you, as executive director, do at The Last Green Valley?

“I do a little bit of everything. I work with our board to continue to grow the organization. I work with partner organi-zations to run programs. I work with staff here to keep all these things going as well. The other big project we have coming up is Taste of the Valley on Sept. 14. There are a lot of projects going on and I oversee them all and keep us moving forward.”

How has the transition been from the deputy executive director seat to the executive director position?

“It’s been relatively smooth. Charleen was here for almost 17 years. She had always kept me in the loop for every-thing in the organization, so I’ve been kept informed on everything.”

Talk a little about your predecessor, because Charleen seems to have been an integral part of the growth of this organization. She left quite an impact.

“It’s a little heartbreaking to see her go, but I’m really excited for her and her new opportunity. She’s going to be able to build a non-profit in the Blackstone National Corridor the way she did here, so I’m very excited for her.”

How exciting are you to be making this move at this point in your career?

“For me, it’s a great opportunity. The board is undergoing some strategic plan-ning trying to focus our path for the next few years and I’m happy to be a part of that and excited to be a part of that. There are so many terrific things we can still do in the future.”

What has it been like working with the staff in your new post?

“The staff here is great. We brought on Marcy Dally, so we have a new ranger added to the staff. Everyone is working really hard and it’s still a transition, so I’m not going to say that it’s 100 percent smooth. There will be some bumps but everyone has been terrific. We’re involved in a lot of time consuming things right now but everyone is putting in extra effort to try and make it all happen.”

Well Lois, thank you very much for taking the time to speak with us. Congratulations on your promotion again, and we’ll talk to you again soon.

“Thank you very much, Jason.”

WOODSTOCK — From his booth at the Woodstock Fair, Jeff Durst stands near the stump of an old red oak and watches visitors peruse its rings. He sees them marvel at 88 concentric circles bearing witness to the Great Depression, World War II and men on the moon. Durst saunters closer and begins a conversation about the tree and the hardwood lumber produced by Hull Forest Products in Pomfret. Durst spent Labor Day weekend at the fair spread-ing the word about a local company with a global reach.

“We’re a hardwood lumber producer, shipping products as close as 10 to 15 miles to as far away as across the U.S. and to export markets — we’re partici-pating in the global market,” said Durst, the company’s president.

Durst has a team of five foresters always on the lookout for quality wood that can be turned into hardwood prod-ucts.

“We’re largely four-quarter (one inch thick) grade hardwood lumber that’s either green or kiln dried,” said Durst.

It’s used in a variety of products rang-ing from an ornate desk to a dining

room floor.“A lot of what we do in the export mar-

kets could be used for flooring or furni-ture,” Durst said. “A fair amount goes to distribution. We sell it to what we call a concentration yard, who will dry their green lumber and then they’ll do some distribution in smaller lots than we would do. We do hardwood floors. People in this area can get solid, wide, plank hardwood floors made locally.”

Durst’s team of foresters performs many tasks including advising land-owners on how to grow, and when to harvest their trees.

“The vast majority of timber that we buy — we have five graduate foresters — so they’re helping local landowners execute their forest management plans. As a result we’re buying the timber,” Durst said. “Probably 80, 85 percent of what we cut comes from within a 60-mile radius of Pomfret.”

Durst, from Woodstock, said a lot of his neighbors probably don’t realize his company harvests timber from just beyond their backyards.

“Pomfret, Woodstock, Windham County, up into Worcester County in Massachusetts — one of the things we do every two years is have an open house,”

Durst said. “We do everything we can to invite the public in to see what we’re doing. Ask all the ques-tions, and really understand what the process is all about — from the forest straight through to the fin-ished product.”

Many trees fall under the hard-wood classifica-tion.

“A hardwood by definition is any tree that loses its leaves during the fall,” Durst said. “For us we spend

probably 65, 70 percent of our time on red oak because that’s a prevalent spe-cies here — but also white oak, hard maple, soft maple, ash, birch, hickory. For us those are pretty much the mer-chantable species.”

Hull Forest Products doesn’t actually harvest timber but closely coordinates the process.

“We use sub-contract logging crews. So our foresters work with the landown-er. They find out what their objectives are. We mark the sale, lay it out in terms of where skid roads are going to be,” Durst said. “And any permits that need to be obtained, our foresters take care

of all that. And then we’re at that point where we’ll take a sub-contract crew and put them on to execute the harvest.”

Perhaps one of the best things about Durst’s line of work is Mother Nature takes care of the supply chain.

“What we find in the native hard-woods is largely that it’s natural regen-eration,” Durst said. “So there’s really not a need to plant.”

Durst never tires of planting the seeds of another conversation — with the help of a stump from a tree that first took root during the Woodstock Fair of 1926.

“It’s just a lot of fun to be at the fair and I always appre-ciate the chance to come and meet all the people,” Durst said. “We’re in the backyard, so to speak, in the next town over. And it’s amazing how many people will come up to me and say ‘Wow, I had no idea everything you were doing there.’”

WOODSTOCK — Not many newly minted high school graduates have secured lifetime employment, but Zach Tarryk has already corralled his future — all 10 of them. Tarryk is a dairy farm-er who owns 10 Jersey cows with the family business — Chestnut-Hyll Farm in Dayville. His Jerseys are much more than a business — they’re his life.

“They’re like my kids,” Tarryk said. “I’m only 18 but it’s like I have kids.”

Perhaps most 18-year-olds aren’t ready to map out their careers, but Tarryk has assumed a lot more respon-sibility than your average Killingly High School graduate.

“I own all the cows. I pay the bills. I clean up after them,” Tarryk said. “I do the work. I work a lot.”

He also earns extra money work-ing for Fairholm Farm in Woodstock. Tarryk grew up on the farm and wanted to raise Jerseys for as long as he can remember. He showed several of his Chestnut-Hyll Jerseys at the Woodstock Fair over Labor Day weekend and it’s obvious he has an affinity for his ani-mals — cajoling them as easily as a family pet.

“I’ve been doing this since I was little. My parents showed cows. We’ve always had a farm,” Tarryk said. “I kind of grew up into it.”

As a toddler he wandered among the mammoth cows on the farm. Now he gently commands them with a reassur-ing pat and a steady hand.

“They’re like dogs, giant dogs really, very friendly,” Tarryk said. “They’re nice to be around, mine are at least. Anybody can go up and touch them and the cows aren’t going to hurt them. It starts with how you take care of them, treat them.”

The Jerseys he brought to the fair included Lynsey and Lucy — with dis-tinct personalities.

“Lynsey is quiet and stays by herself. Lucy is like a kid, like a little kid, very hyper,” Tarryk said.

They require a lot of more care and a lot more feeding than the family dog.

“Hay and grain, supplements — there’s different things. It depends on

how old they are,” Tarryk said.His 10 Jerseys range in age from one

month to 13 years old. Tarryk said his cows can produce milk from age 2 until they’re 15 and they require constant attention. He’s not planning on going to college and there will never be a spring break in Tarryk’s future. His future is on the farm and that’s OK with him.

“There’s not much getting away from it but I don’t want to get away from it,” Tarryk said. “I love what I do.”

His satisfaction comes from knowing dairy farming has a real and measur-able value.

“It’s nice to produce something that the whole world needs — milk, dairy foods, cheese,” Tarryk said.

Along with a lot of milk, much pride is produced when Tarryk brings his Jerseys to the Woodstock Fair.

“I love coming to the fair and having the public ask questions,” Tarryk said.

He never tires of the most commonly asked question and has a ready answer.

“How much milk does a cow make? It depends, one can make about 50 pounds (six or seven gallons) a day,” Tarryk said.

Tarryk milks his Jerseys with an automatic milking machine. His father, Don Tarryk, installs and services auto-matic milking parlors throughout the Northeast. The cows quickly get used to the automated milking process.

“When they first calve they’re uneasy with it but in a couple weeks they get used to it,” Tarryk said.

A day on the farm is a long one involving milking and feeding the cows along with all the other chores.

“I get up at 5 every morning. You milk

them. By the time you clean barns you get back in the house around 8:30, 9,” Tarryk said. “You go back out periodi-cally throughout the day and do some other stuff around the farm — fixing fence, hay, working in the fields — we’ll milk again, we’ll do chores again at 5 in the afternoon.”

Often before Tarryk goes to bed he makes sure his Jerseys are tucked in. After all they are his “kids” — some very big ones.

“Sometimes I’ll go back out again before I got to bed at 9:30, 10,” Tarryk said. “Make sure everything’s OK.”

Weekly CrosswordSeptember 5, 2014


Recordkeeping is an integral part of any efficient town government, but the process is not always clear or easy when it comes to what needs to be preserved and what can be thrown away.

To clear up some of this confusion, one local town leader has taken the initiative to help educate herself and her fellow elected figures in the Quiet Corner on proper and efficient record management.

Pomfret First Selectman Maureen Nicholson has invited the Connecticut Conference of Municipalities (CCM) to visit her town and make a presenta-tion on record management, which she hopes will not only make local govern-ments more efficient, but also clear up any misconceptions that anyone may have on what records needs to be kept, and for how long.

“CCM does a lot of training programs for member towns and maybe it was about a year ago I had invited CCM to come out and do and Freedom of Information program which was very well attended and very pertinent,” said Nicholson. “I have encouraged CCM to come out and do another one, this time a Record Management Program at the Pomfret Community Senior Center in December.”

Nicholson noted that having such programs available for local officials is important because many cannot make the trip to the locations of the regu-lar training events, which are usually held in the center of the state. Holding a training program in Pomfret allows local leaders the access to CCM’s train-ing and input without having to travel a great distance from the towns they serve.

One local official who has already decided he will attend the training is

Putnam Mayor Tony Falzarano, who said while travel is not an issue for him, he fully supports holding a CCM program locally for those who do have those issues.

“I think it’s great because nobody really knows what you’re supposed to save and what you’re not supposed to save,” Falzarano said. “I go to a lot of things at CCM, but it’s a pain for a lot of people to make that trek. Maureen has taken the initiative to bring them here and it’s great. What do you do with records that are 20 or 30 years old? Some things you have to keep forever, but this should clarify a lot of issues.”

Nicholson pointed out that one of things she has noticed is how changing technology and storage methods have played into the complications of keep-ing proper records. She hopes the train-ing program will clear this up as well.

“I think it’s becoming much more complicated with rules and regulations

and what you have to keep and what can be destroyed and all that,” she said. “With electronic records in particular — everyone is running into more and more storage and date electronically.”

Nicholson has invited the member towns of the Northeastern Connecticut Council of Governments (NECCOG) to participate in the program and said space is limited due to the limitations of the town’s senior center. Anyone seeking information of the CCM Record Management program coming to Pomfret in December can contact Nicholson at her office, where she will be more than willing to share the details of the program.

WOODSTOCK — Woodstock’s Labor Day tradition contin-ued for the 154th year last weekend, as the annual Woodstock Fair invaded the Quiet Corner, drawing thousands upon thousands to the Woodstock Fairgrounds for agricultural and livestock exhibits, a carnival, concerts, food, vendors, and all kinds of family fun. Despite a few periods of rain, the weekend proved to be the perfect (and unofficial) end to the summer season.

Out of this world? A line of larger-than-life pumpkins is led by a seem-ingly mutant variation — not to fear, it was merely an expertly crafted carving that earned high marks.

Finishing touches are put on the Sandtasia sand castle near the exhibition hall, an attraction that has become a staple of the Woodstock Fair.

WOODSTOCK — The 154th annual Woodstock Fair was held over Labor Day weekend. Among the events were livestock shows, tractor pulls, pumpkin carving, a midway with rides and several concerts, including Kenny Rogers and Sara Evans.

I think something is wrong with my calendar — it says Labor Day just went by, but wasn’t it just Memorial Day a few weeks ago?

Fourth of July was just yesterday, right?

Sadly, it seems my calen-dar is right because every-where I look I see the signs that summer is coming to a close. The school busses are out, the pumpkin lattes are in, and cardigans and boots have replaced swim-suits and flip flops in all the stores. I even counted 10 yellow leaves on the tree outside my living room window and saw candy corn at the grocery store. Cue the sad trombone … Womp womp.

Don’t get me wrong, autumn is my favorite sea-son. I look forward to the scarlet colored leaves, the yummy apple crisp and the “sweatshirt” weather it brings every year. But right now, I’m just not ready yet.

This has been a wonder-ful summer and I’ve been lucky to enjoy all the best the season has to offer. I went canoeing on a lake, took a boat to a clam bake off the coast of northern Maine, and got to stick my toes in sands of Cape Cod on more than one occasion. I’ve gone hiking and biking, floated in pools and scarfed down more ice cream cones than I can begin to count. It’s all been great, and frankly, I’m not done with it yet.

So, I’m protesting. I will continue to wear white, sport sunglasses, and don sandals until my toes freeze off. I’m going to eat pop-sicles and watermelon, go swimming in a lake, and cook all my dinners outside on the grill. I’m going to make some fresh-squeezed lemonade, pack it up in a picnic, take a trip to the beach and drive all the way with the windows down. Summer just can’t be over yet — I don’t care what Mother Nature or all the retailers say.

Whoever said Labor Day is the “unofficial end to summer” is officially wrong. Fall doesn’t actually begin until Sept. 22, and I’m not taking my sweaters out until then.

Who’s with me?

To the Editor:To whoever ordered the [cutting down] of

The rains will cause flooding onto Route 12. My mother saw some of those in 1926 — I first saw them in 1930 — then as a 12-year-old Boy Scout. I learned how to tell about yearly

growth, how tall they were, in 1941, and can still do it. But now they are gone forever because you decide to cut them down. Shame on you!

Babbitt: Saddened by removal of trees

This is a love story, and a thank you letter.

This is advice, and a hope and a wish for contemplative thought about the people who have chosen a profession in which each is cast as hero or villain (often arbitrarily, unfairly or politically).

Yes, some teachers are not good teachers. But so many teachers are incredible educators. And you need to use a keen eye in some cases, lest you let one expe-rience dictate your full and permanent view on the profession.

All of these back-to-school photos, mostly children of the “children” I went to school with, are making me sentimental in a way I could not have predicted. I hope these kids grow, and flourish, and have wonderful teachers that help to mold their minds in a way that truly allows them to achieve, and assists in the pursuit of a happy, fulfilling and meaningful life.

I’m a big supporter of education. That is not to say I don’t have issues with the state (and country’s) current educational system. I do. But my family is a “teaching family.” Let me explain.

My mother was a teacher for many years at the high school level. I watched her spend nearly all of her time outside of the classroom — week days, weekends — sitting among stacks of homework and tests and lesson plans; eavesdropped as she took phone calls late at night from entitled parents with enti-tled children, berating her for not falling in line to give the easy A that wasn’t earned; saw her frustration as she grappled with how to reach students that were bright and capable, but, for reasons only they knew, distanced themselves from achievement (she anguished over it at home, off the clock, and even, regretfully, in her own life with a daughter who was rebel-child to the core and behaved similarly). I saw her come home at 5 p.m. to turn around and go back to school for teacher conferences, open houses, late into the night, only to come home exhausted in time for brief respite before the 3:45 a.m. alarm of the next day. I watched her demand that her students “measure from the top, not the bottom,” as was the mantra in our own home. I saw her beam with pride when a student went on to succeed in the field in which she had educated them, and found success professionally in the world. I saw both her stress and perseverance when she stood up to administrators that did not keep to the same values as she did — standing up for a valuable education that actually meant something — and was pushed back, but never down.

My sister was a teacher, of Texan middle schoolers (oh, those perfect middle school years where kids know exactly who they are and come to school focused entirely on learn-ing). I heard and read about her dedication to ensuring that each child got the attention she required to succeed, the support he needed to find a place to be in a world where there wasn’t a stable landing pad, finding a way to teach students whose languages ran the gamut from Chinese to Spanish to the more exotic. I knew about her own sacrifices to make sure that kids, whose bigger struggles waited at home, had a safe place to come to try to learn and escape the chaos life had handed them. I watched from afar too, when administrators pushed their values — sep-arate from those of teachers working on the ground — bigger and bigger, impossible even, onto the most celebrated teachers in the district; red tape, dollar signs and mandates dragging them down like an anchor, when those teachers were in fact the anchor for the children trying to stay afloat, safe in the ship of the classroom with a gentle, caring captain.

Many (most) of my extended family mem-bers have been teachers. We value education in a big way in our family. Even my father taught at the School For Reckless Rich Boys

for a period of time (that school has since become a much more reputa-ble institution in the last 30 years or so, and kudos for that).

But it all started with my grand-mother, Nonnie, also known as Mrs. Estelle Novak Konesni; the daughter of immigrants, the child who learned to speak English before they, and translated respectfully and patiently

for her parents, learning words no eight-year-old could know. Legalese and all, she learned it, until they could get along for themselves.

The first to have and drive a car. A scholar-ship to Eastern Connecticut State University. A long and storied career teaching, and lov-ing each of the small lives that came into her life. She was a teacher that cared about the fundamentals of education. She was a teach-er who made sure that poor children were given breakfast at school before there were programs for that (“How could you expect a child to keep his head up in class when he hasn’t eaten in who knows how long?”), who sought out the children that shrank into the shadows due to need, and the feeling of being “less than” because of it. Got them the coats that they didn’t have. Looked for the clues and found a way. She was the teacher who noticed when a little boy, cheerful and other-wise bright, wasn’t doing well and discovered it was merely glasses he needed. A more com-mon affair now, less so in the ‘50s and ‘60s. She was the teacher who touched every little life that passed through her hands, so that as I encounter people in the world today as an adult the first thing they want to know about me is if I am “related to Estelle Konesni; she was one of the finest women I have ever known.”

She was the teacher who cared so much for children that she took three more into her home from the state when she was asked to take one — did so without asking her hus-band — because “How could I not? And how could I take just the girl and not the broth-ers?” Thus increasing the number of mouths to feed to eight children and two adults, when money was scarce. She always found a way.

So you can see where we get it. Our love for education and educators. And my love for people.

As I see all of these beautiful photos of happy children heading back for a fresh start to the year — the year that could be their year! — I hope that the parents are looking at teachers as more than just the state employ-ees who are paid to keep the kids safe and accomplish a series of tasks in a certain num-ber of hours, for a certain number of months. I hope the community looks at teachers and sees them as people, many of whom have come to this astoundingly difficult profes-sion because of love of knowledge, love of children, and the pursuit of a brighter and better future for kids at a very frightening time in education. I hope parents help out by teaching their children respect, and patience and kindness at home. I hope teachers do not succumb to the strangling bureaucratic nightmare that has ensnared school systems in its red tape, and led some administrators astray from their true missions.

I love the teachers in my life. I had many great teachers that I was probably — at best, and certainly at worst — terrible to, and who still showed up every day to teach me. Because they did, I learned.

I love my Nonnie. And because she was a teacher locally, I know that nearly all of Northeastern Connecticut loves her too. And, in part, because of that she is with me still.

I hope that with the wonderful beginning of a new school year we can all decide to think more about our teachers, and give them the support they need. Because one of the worst things we can do as a community is to fail them, allowing good teachers to give up. Let’s help them never, ever want to give up. Let’s help them.

Thank you, good teachers. Welcome back for what I hope is your best year ever.

Patience, perseverance and the persecuted

The collection

It’s a memory I can still remember clearly to this day — spread out before me on the floor, covered in plastic, pro-tective sheets, were thousands of them, just waiting to be organized and stored.

There were all different kinds, of all different vintages and various values, but I didn’t care — I was hooked.

As a child and early teenager, I col-lected sports cards. At the height of my collecting days, I probably had between 13,000 and 14,000 cards. I had complete, unopened box sets, I had loose cards obtained from buying random packs at the store, I had cards I had traded with my friends, baseball, basketball, foot-ball, hockey — you name it. I had cards in perfect, sealed and graded condition, and I had cards that were a little rough around the edges. They were all equally valuable to me.

I don’t know why I started collecting. I have always been a sports fan, and I know I started collecting at a young age. Any money I had for allowance was probably going toward a pack or two of cards. They were also a popular birth-day and Christmas present.

Looking back, part of me wishes I had the discipline to delay gratification and leave all my cards unopened, which would make them a whole lot more valu-able today — but where’s the fun in that? As a kid, your mind isn’t exactly on how valuable these cards are going to be in the future if you leave them unopened — you want immediate gratification. You want to crack open the package and handle them, organize them, and see if you have any of your favorite players or unique and rare cards that found their way into your pack.

M y f a t h e r s t i l l reminds me of this approach from time to time, as he goes into his room to fetch an

unopened pack of Topps baseball cards I gave him in 1992. Twenty-two years later, he has yet to open it. They are probably worth just as much now as they were when I bought them, but who knows? Fifty years from now, they might have some value…

I have a box of cards set aside that I still keep protected to this day, and many of them I consider valuable, but my two most treasured cards are my Roger Clemens and Pedro Martinez rookie cards. I was a huge Clemens fan growing up (which made allegations of performance enhancing drugs hard to bear), and I received the Pedro card as a gift. They are both graded in mint condition, so maybe they’ll be worth something in due time.

Before I was a Boston Celtics fan, I was an Orlando Magic fan. I’m not afraid to admit it. Back in the mid-1990’s, when the team came on to the scene as an expansion team, the tandem of Shaquille O’Neal and Anfernee “Penny” Hardaway was hard not to root for. I was constantly on the hunt for their cards, and have many of them still. In fact, if I had to venture a guess, I would say that I have more Hardaway and early O’Neal cards then any other player in my col-lection in any sport. Just behind them, I have many cards of Michael Jordan, Ken Griffey Jr., Barry Bonds, Greg Maddux and Frank Thomas, among others.

I stopped collecting long ago, but sometimes I miss the thrill of opening up that new pack of cards. I’ve collected other things since then — shot glasses being the main one (for decoration, or course), but cards were the one collec-tion that was the most fun, because you never knew what you were going to find.

I’ll be moving into a new house soon, which means I’ll be diving into the clos-et to find a new home for all my stuff. Maybe I’ll open up some of my card binders and transport myself back to a time when my favorite athletes (who are all mostly retired now) were all orga-nized in clear plastic pages.

Then again, maybe it’s time to sell — daddy needs home improvement sup-plies!

To the Editor:Election Day is getting ever so closer and it

is time that we start hearing from the differ-ent candidates.

Debates are a great way to compare and contrast those running for office, but if one side is refusing than that takes away from the voters a much-needed resource.

John French, the Republican candidate for State Senate in the 29th District, is willing and eager for debate and to show voters who he is and what he stands for.

Rep. Mae Flexer, the Democratic candi-date for the 29th District, has shown no such

interest. Instead of using a platform to high-light her record, she accuses her opponent of “typical Republican tactics” when it is highlighted for her.

I have the utmost respect for Rep. Flexer and I am glad she took the ambitious plunge, but instead of using “typical Democrat tac-tics” of blaming and smearing Republicans for every wrong, step up to the plate and defend your record. The voters of the district deserve it from their candidates.

Preparing your college student for financial responsibility

For many parents, the thought of a child heading off to college is both exciting and scary.

Whether your child is going away to school for the first time or returning for another year, he or she may need help managing money and credit. This article outlines some tips you can use to prepare your child for the finan-cial independence of the college years.

GET A HANDLE ON SAVING AND SPENDING

Creating a budget together is a great way to start the financial conversation with your child.

• Decide who’s paying for what. Discuss what you might cover (tuition, housing, meal plans, and so on) and the expenses you expect your child to pay for (entertain-ment, travel, and the like). Will he or she use savings to cover these expenses, or will you supply your student with an allowance?

• Create a working budget. After discussing income and expenses, figure out how much money your child will need while at school.

• Put it in writing. Use a budget calculator to help you map out a plan, or create your own spread-sheet.

• Follow up! Staying on budget is easier said than done. Check in with your child periodically to see how he or she is doing, and adjust the budget as circumstanc-es change.

WEIGH THE PROS AND CONS OF PART-TIME WORK

Before your child starts look-ing for a part-time job, be sure to consider all the factors involved. Although a job offers income and the opportunity to develop real-world skills, your child may find it challenging to work and keep grades up.

If you decide a job is the way to go, the first step is to check your child’s financial aid package to see if he or she is eligible to partic-ipate in a work-study program. At the end of the semester, evaluate

how the job is going and recon-sider the decision if needed. And, of course, make any necessary changes to your student’s budget based on his or her earnings.

COMPARE ON-CAMPUS AND OFF-CAMPUS HOUSING

Where your child lives will be an important part of his or her college experience. Keep in mind that some schools require students to live on campus. If it’s an option, however, your child might be interested in off-campus housing. Here are some factors to consider:

• Extra expenses. If your child lives on campus, cable, Internet, electricity, and other expenses are usually lumped together in a single sum per semester. For an off-campus rental, these bills will most likely have to be paid sepa-rately each month.

• Food. Meal plans can be expensive, especially when you break it down by cost per meal. If your child lives off campus, shopping at a local grocery store and cooking meals may be more cost effective.

• Location. On-campus housing is usually located within walking distance of academic buildings. With off-campus housing, you may need to factor in the costs of a car, gas, insurance, and parking.

• Roommates. In an off-campus rental, it’s important that your child can rely on his or her room-mates to pay their part of the rent and expenses each month.

TALK ABOUT WAYS TO BUILD CREDIT

College is an excellent time for your child to start building good credit. Here are some things you can do to help:

• Explore credit card options. You might consider adding your child as an authorized user on one of your cards. Or, he or she may wish to apply for his or her own student credit card.

• Stress the importance of being responsible. Be sure your child

knows that he or she needs to pay the credit card balance on time each month. Other things to stress: don’t exceed the credit limit, don’t carry a balance from month to month, and don’t use cash advances.

• Warn against risky credit card programs. Companies often set up booths on college campus-es promising free giveaways in exchange for filling out an appli-cation. Although it may seem convenient, handing over per-sonal information to a stranger could put your student at risk for identity theft.

• Check out your child’s cred-it report. Request a free credit report at www.annualcredit-report.com and review it care-fully for mistakes or suspicious charges, which could be a sign of identity theft.

SETTING YOUR CHILD UP FOR SUCCESS

When it comes down to it, your child’s major expenses at col-lege will be tuition and housing. By taking steps to control other expenses and build credit respon-sibly, your student can lay a solid foundation for financial success later in life.

As you reap the fruits of your hard work in the garden this year, you are thrilled with all of the tasty treats at your finger-tips.

There are tomatoes, late-summer raspberries, peppers, beans, basil, mint, apples, cucumbers, and various other fruits and veggies. You may be missing some of your favorite

items, though. You might, like I do, silently lecture yourself about various ways to make the bounty better. Plant this earlier, locate this veggie clos-er to the water, put out more pest control items, weed more often, put the mulch/com-post-rich soil in earlier, try the corn in the double row, water more often, try this fruit, stake

the tomatoes sooner, add a tougher fence around the snow peas to keep the deer and bunnies away, try a scarecrow, enlist more help, or even, don’t plant so much!

Peering over the produce and considering the pluses and minuses, it’s probably a good time to take notes on what you’ll try structurally next year. There are some really cool options out there.

If you have deck stairs, plant the more shade-loving crops, like arugula, under their cover. It’s a nice way to utilize space, and most often, the outdoor water faucet is close by.

Perhaps you wanted to add more climbing greenery, like pumpkins or cucumbers in your gardens. Grab some boards with interesting patterns and fit them together to fashion a fence. It’s a great way to refurbish some wood pieces and to add some flair to your garden patch. It’ll also help keep some of the veggie-loving critters away.

Cinder blocks offer several pluses to a garden. They are a good way to put edging into the growing area. They also offer the perfect support for structures like scarecrows, mesh net-ting, and fences. Additionally, the block’s holes provide a nice opening to plant skinny, little crop plants, such as peppers. Many bugs like to eat plants at the base of the stem, so the con-crete will prevent the pests from ruining your crops.

I have a wheelbarrow at my house that has a flat tire which is impossible to fix. Most people would have recycled it by now. However, next growing season, I intend to utilize the bar-rel part and put some squash plants in it so that the vines can climb down and out from a higher elevation. Don’t worry, I’ll drill some holes in order for the rain water to escape.

The everyday ecologisTScientific discovery is religious discovery

Science is wonderful!Dictionary.com includes this

definition of science — “sys-tematic knowledge of the phys-ical or material world gained through observation and exper-imentation.”

When scientists limit their systematic knowledge to the things that can truly be observed and have genuinely met the standards of the scientific method, they discover amazing things. Real science and sincere scientists have made incredible contributions to the advancement of mankind.

Due to a few power struggles between people of faith and certain scientific theories, many have mistakenly thought that one must choose between science or the Bible, but real science has been a great inspiration to people of faith and visa versa. In fact, it may shock some people to find out just how many great scientists have, through science, become believers in God. In other words, their scientific dis-coveries led them to religious discoveries. Consider the following insights from highly acclaimed scien-tists:

• “For the scientist who has lived by his faith in the power of reason, the story ends like a bad dream. He has scaled the mountains of ignorance; he is about to conquer the highest peak; as he pulls himself over the final rock, he is greeted by a band of theologians who have been sitting there for centuries.” -Robert Jastrow (self-proclaimed agnostic)

• “A scientific discovery is also a religious dis-covery. There is no conflict between science and religion. Our knowledge of God is made larger with every discovery we make about the world.” -Joseph H. Taylor, Jr., who received the 1993 Nobel Prize in

Physics for the discovery of the first known binary pulsar, and for his work which supported the Big Bang Theory.

• “The more I study science, the more I believe in God.” -Albert Einstein

Pure science and the Bible get along just fine. Some of the greatest scientists of all time have been very vocal about their faith. For example, Isaac Newton, the renowned scientist, who co-founded calculus and dis-

covered the laws of physics, gravity, motion, and optics, actually wrote more on the Bible than he did on science.

Occasionally someone will become famous for using scientific theories to defy the idea of God. But often a little research will reveal a hidden issue that is coloring the quest. In an article titled “Why True Science Supports Scripture,” Steve Waldron noted that “Darwin’s only degree was a Bachelor’s of Theology. He wanted to believe in God when younger; it seems obvious when reading his auto-biography. But during his five-year voyage on the HMS Beagle, he read the wrong books and began to see God’s remarkable creation around him thru non-creationist lenses.” (http://ibcperspectives.com/guest-pulpit/)

Science is a great tool when it is held to objec-tivity. In fact, as a scientist you might want to be careful, lest your discovery lead you into an encoun-ter with the one who made it all, because scientific discovery is religious discovery.

Beyond The Pews

Indian Head cents (1859-1909) are great examples of the golden era of U.S. Mint coin designs.

The coin was designed by James B. Longacre, and was minted solely at the Philadelphia mint facility until the last two years (1908 and 1909) when it was also minted in San Francisco. Of the two primary factors in determining a coin’s value, let’s put “condition” aside for a bit, and focus on “rarity.”

“Rarity” can be determined by two factors — how many were originally minted, and how many are believed to currently exist in various grades.

Despite their age and the fact that none have been minted in 115 years, Indian Head (IH) cents are an excel-lent series for the collector to focus on. Most years are plentiful in lower grades and, overall, the series is not and expensive one to get into. With a few notable exceptions, an entire run (one for every year) is attainable for a reasonable expenditure.

Remember that we minted Large Cents from 1793 until 1857. Then, due to the rising cost of copper, the Mint changed to the small, copper-nickel (CuNi) Flying Eagle cent from 1856-1858. The Mint committed to the small cent concept permanently with the first Indian Head cents in 1859, and kept the (CuNi) composition until 1864 when the coin was produced in BOTH CuNi and French bronze. The French bronze coin remained in production until the end of

the series.With just a few excep-

tions (after 1886), most IH cents can be bought for $1 in the lowest col-lectible grade of G-4. Prior to that, the coins are rarer in both mint-age and surviving num-bers. All of the CuNi cents sell for between $8 and $21 in G-4. Even these prices are afford-able to most collectors. I come across many IH collections where the collector focused on coins of a higher grade, such as F or VF.

What about those IH cents that aren’t cheap? Probably the single coin that presents a challenge in any grade is the ultra-rare 1877 coin. Less than 900,000 were originally mint-ed. Compare that all other Philadelphia mintages, which were between 6 mil-lion and 108 million. An 1877 in G-4 condition sells for around $525. In F condition it lists at $900. But there are other rarities … the 1908-S (mintage of just over 1.1 million) and the 1909-S (mintage of only 309,000) list at $80 and $450, respectively, in F condition.

Why were so few 1909 IH cents mint-ed in San Francisco? For starters, it was somewhat difficult getting cop-per planchets out to that mint. Also,

Philadelphia was minting the 1909 IH cent to the tune of more than 14 million; and the Philadelphia mint also pro-duced over 100 million Lincoln cents, which was its first year of production.

Here are a few other IH cent rarities, and their values in F-12 condition: 1861 CuNI ($35.00); 1864L (with Longacre’s initial on the Indian’s bonnet ribbon) selling for $125; 1866 ($80); 1867 ($110); 1869 ($190); 1870 ($195); 1871 ($240); 1872 ($360). All of these values are primarily due to low mintages.

There are also a good number of errors in the IH series. Most are worth a modest premium; some are very valu-able. A smart collector will check each IH cent for one of these known errors. Richard Snow has provided an exhaus-tive study of Flying Eagle and IH errors, and his books are full of great quality photographs. His earlier works’ photos are in black and white. However, later this year his next volume’s pictures are in color. I’ve had the distinct pleasure

of talking with Richard on numerous occasions and sought his guidance on coins that I’ve found that are, or may be, discovery coins. His book(s), and the Cherry Picker’s Guide, are two must haves for any beginning or serious IH cent collector.

Among the more interesting IH errors is the 1869/9 coin which has two clearly distinct punching of the last nine. Much sought after by collectors, this coin sells for around $125 in G-4 and $435 in F. As with any rare coin, be cautious if you’re considering buying a raw (uncertified) coin. If you do not know exactly what to look for, or if you’re not an experienced grader…do not buy a rare coin. Focus on certified coins or insist on a written agreement that will allow you to submit the raw coin for certification, with a guaranteed refund if the coin does not come back as genuine.

Safe driving tipsA new insurance report revealed driv-

ers in nearby Worcester, Mass., were named the worse drivers in America!

According to the study, Worcester drivers get in auto accidents once every 4.3 years, which makes them 134.8 per-cent more liable to crash their cars than the average American!

With these stats in mind the following “safe driving tips” from AAA and other sources, are offered.

***It’s still summer so bright sun glare is

a common problem, especially just after sunrise and prior to sunset. If you find yourself driving with the sun shining in your eyes, try these tips:

• Check out polarized sunglasses, stud-ies show they really do decrease glare.

• Don’t forget to utilize your sun visor. If necessary invest in an inexpensive sun shield that attaches to the visor and provides more shade.

• When the sun is interfering with your vision, practice proactive safety. Back off from the car in front of you to leave more room (and more reaction time) between you and the other vehicle.

• Make sure your windshield is crystal clear. Dirt and smudges increase glare from the sun’s rays.

• Leave your headlights on. It will help others see you better.

***Rainy weather poses more problems

for safe driving. In fact, studies show wet roadways contribute to nearly 1.2 mil-lion traffic crashes each year. Up your odds of a safe arrival with these pointers:

• Check out your wipers. Replacing

worn windshield wipers are an inex-pensive, cost effective way to increase visi-bility in rainy weath-er.

Note: Wipers that don’t clean the glass in a single swipe should be replaced.

• Always turn on your headlights when driving in rainy weather. It not only helps you to see the road more clearly, but it also allows you to be visible to other drivers.

• Did you know proper maintenance of tires can help prevent accidents, especially on wet pavement? Tire tread is important for good traction. Place a quarter in the tire groove. If you can see above George Washington’s head, you should replace your tire for optimum safety.

• Also, be sure your tire pressure is up to par. Correct tire pressure aids in preventing slipping and sliding on rain soaked roads. Note: Tire pressure often drops in cold weather.

• Above all, don’t use cruise control! When utilized in wet weather, the loss of acceleration control can prevent a safe reduction in speed.

• Did you know hydroplaning can be prevented simply by slowing down? Here is an eye opening fact from AAA: With as little as 1/12 inch of water on the road, tires have to displace a gallon of water per second to keep the rubber meeting the road. Drivers should reduce their speed to correspond to the amount of water on the roadway. At speeds as

low as 35 mph, new tires can still lose some contact with the roadway.

• OK, so you find yourself skidding in wet weather. What to do? According to AAA you should: Continue to look and steer in the direction in which the driver wants the car to go. Avoid slamming on the brakes as this will further upset the vehicle’s balance

and make it harder to control.

***Whether you’re taking a road trip of

just have a long daily commute, being alert is imperative to safe driving. Research reveals very sleepy drivers can impair judgment as much as drugs and alcohol can. Read on for ways to reduce drowsiness:

• Never attempt a long trip unless you have at least six hours of sleep under your belt.

• Drink a coffee or caffeinated soft drink. Keep in mind it takes about a half hour before it takes effect, so if need be, take a nap in the meantime.

• Schedule a break every couple of hours. Have a healthy snack. Step out of the car and stretch your legs.

• Getting plenty of sleep (at least six hours) the night before a long trip;

• On long trips avoid driving when you normally sleep, even if you’ve slept in the off hours. Drive during your regular waking hours to keep your body on your regular schedule and more alert.

• Driving with a passenger that is awake is the best bet for keeping your-self from nodding off.

• If you are tired, pull over and take a nap. Be sure to park in a safe place, never pull over the side of the road. Instead, find an open parking lot where you feel you can safely take a snooze.

ety’s booth. It’s a labor of love for the couple, who have been married for 49 years. They live in Pomfret Center, right down the road from the Audubon Society’s Center at Pomfret. The center is home to wildlife displays, art exhib-its, and youth education pro-grams. The Bafflin Sanctuary surrounds the Center at Pomfret and encompasses 702 acres. Visitors can appreciate nature while walking through the sanctuary’s trails and the Grooms enjoy spreading the news at the fair.

“It’s important to get the word out that we have this wonderful center that’s helping to introduce people of all ages to the wildlife and the flora and fauna of our region,” said Sandy.

The Bafflin Sanctuary is

tucked away off Wrights Crossing Road. George said it’s hard to find but worth the trip.

“We are off the beaten path but once you find us it’s a won-derful place,” George said. “It’s a wonderful place for birds. It’s a wonderful place to hike. It’s a wonderful place for wild-life in general. We are blessed indeed to have this sanctuary in Pomfret.”

Sandy has retired from her elementary school teaching position in Thompson but for the last nine years she’s taught youngsters about nature in the Center at Pomfret’s after-school program. She’s thrilled when she sees one of her for-mer students visit her booth at the fair.

“They come here and they know all the animals. They’re actually just proof of how peo-ple can get excited about wild-life. So seeing them here, as well as strangers, letting them know what we have in the

community is a very worth-while and exciting thing to do,” Sandy said. “We have so much to share. When you have some-thing wonderful to share it’s exciting to be able to do that. The fair provides an opportu-nity to meet people from all over — maybe from just across the border in Massachusetts who might come to our center because it’s a nice day trip.”

Their four-hour stint passes quickly as a constant stream of visitors stop by the Audubon booth to chat.

“That’s why we’re here and we’ve had over 200 people stop by to check in with us, some from as far away as Indiana,” George said.

He never tires of explaining the abundance of bird species in the sanctuary.

“We have a wide variety of birds. We have open land at the sanctuary so birds like mead-owlarks and prairie warblers, those birds who do not nest in

trees but nest on the ground find a sanctuary in Audubon,” George said. “We have a wide variety of songbirds who come to this area. We have raptors — the red tailed hawk, the Cooper’s hawk, the northern harrier, the Kestrel. And we have Kestrel — also called the sparrow hawk — breeding on the sanctuary. We have an amazing variety of birds.”

Sandy said the society is always looking to expand the Bafflin Sanctuary.

“Every time we add other acres nearby — we call it the contiguous lands — to provide quarters for the wildlife, it increases the habitat and the number of creatures that can actually find home and shelter and all the space they need,” Sandy said. “Even some very small birds need a large num-ber of acres in order to survive in a healthy way.”

George is particularly proud of the resurgence of eagles to

the Quiet Corner.“The American Eagle —

which hadn’t been seen in Putnam or Pomfret for many years — can now be seen in our area,” George said.

The Grooms will celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary soon and they plan on migrat-ing back to the Woodstock Fair next Labor Day weekend. Birds of a feather — as they say — flock together.

“I’ve been a bird lover for years. I think we have con-verted more than our share of people,” George said. “Many people don’t even know where Pomfret is, so we have to help them out. And we have to get the message out that this is important.”

my job three days later.”Just over two years ago, he

returned to a love abandoned when the working world intruded.

“I used to draw in high school,” Mulholland said. “When I got out of high school I knew I couldn’t draw pictures and make a paycheck. And I didn’t want to be a tattoo artist, that’s really what you do if you can draw.”

He made good money as an electrician but fell into a rut

and decided to ditch his day job. His wife — aptly named Hope — is a schoolteacher in Mansfield. She gave him the go-ahead to follow his dream.

“Quitting my job was imper-ative. I couldn’t do both and I didn’t want this to be a hobby,” said Mulholland, from Windham.

Mulholland made the career change a little over two years ago and never looked back. He brought his wares to the Woodstock Fair over the Labor Day weekend. Much of his art-work can fit comfortably on a mantle but some are as big as

a chimney.“I did a piece for the Make-A-

Wish Foundation that was 23 feet long,” Mulholland said. “I just recently did a totem out in Plainfield that was 12 feet tall and had 12 animals on it.”

His chainsaw blades have very small noses allowing great detail that would not be possible with a standard blade. Safety is paramount and prac-tice is required.

“You do not want to cut your-self with a chainsaw. They kick back just like any other chain-saw. If the saw catches a thread on your pants it pulls the saw

into you. Once it catches the pants the bet’s over. It hap-pens in a millisecond and I’ve heard nightmare stories about it,” Mulholland said. “It’s just a matter of cutting with the grains and that changes con-stantly when you’re carving a piece of wood. Any wood can be carved but the stuff I carve at my house is always soft wood — pine, poplar, tulip poplar — anything soft.”

Mulholland isn’t splicing wires for a living anymore. He’s on the high wire now — working without a net and lov-ing it.

“It’s scary. I used to make a paycheck every week and now I don’t. Believe me it’s amaz-ing that I’m making money doing this,” Mulholland said. “I can’t really explain it. It’s crazy. It’s kind of a wild dream come true. Is it going to work? Is it not going to work? It’s been two and a half years and it’s working. Plus it’s just cool. It’s the coolest job anybody could ever have.”

to get on e-mail lists and receive docu-ments and correspondence from boards and commissions and have the ability to respond back to the e-mails they receive.

Melissa Bradley, the first selectman’s secretary at the Town Hall, manages the town website and will continue to do so with the new website as well. She explained that she is still learning the new format, but that the transition has gone smoothly thus far.

“I haven’t been able to see the inside part of it as far as maintaining the new website,” Bradley said. “I have a training session next week for that. As of right now it’s a matter of moving all the content over from our old site into the new one and basically I send every-thing to them and they’re making that transition.”

She added that Virtual Schools will be the new host of the website, which will allow the town to put more information on the page that right now is limited by the current site.

Ives explained that the new website will have “a lot of bells and whistles,”

but he has reached out to the boards and commissions in town to make sure they are more involved with the process and have input to make the website as efficient as possible. He said he has requested content from elected officials to populate the website and take full advantage of the new feature coming on board.

Brooklyn’s move is one of many that have taken place in towns across the Quiet Corner as the growing theme of efficiency on town websites has led many towns to reexamine their site for-mats and work to improve on their sys-tems to better connect with the public

and inform them of what is going on in their towns. This is the goal of Ives and his staff, who called the website change a step in the right direction coinciding with his concerns about communica-tion that he raised during his bid for the first selectman seat in November.

The new website is expected to go live on Sept. 12, and when asked about his expectations for the new site, Ives simply said, “We think we’re going to get our money’s worth.”

NECCOG PEt Of thE WEEk: JustiCE

Look at this cutie! Justice is a pit bull/Catahoula leopard dog mix, female, 2 years old, approximately 50 pounds. This sweet-heart loves to be social! She loves to go for long walks and hikes where she can stretch those legs. She really likes toys and enjoys playing fetch. Her gorgeous coat matches her gorgeous person-ality. Great with kids and does well with male dogs. She is an active girl but also great as a couch warm-er. No kitties please.

PAWs CAt Of thE WEEk: shErriThis is Sherri! Sherri is always full of energy and can’t wait

for someone to come along and give her some attention. She is an absolute delight to have around!

Sherri is a sweet little lady with tuxedo-patterned fur and bright gold-and-green eyes, who came to the shelter in February as a mother with her five kittens, who were about three days old.

Sherri was abandoned, most likely when she became preg-nant, and had her babies outside on the streets. Other cats in the area were attacking her and she was found to be fending off dogs, protecting her kittens. She was a wonderful mama and was fostered along with her kittens for several weeks when she arrived at PAWS.

Now, all her babies have found loving homes and Sherri is still here, waiting to find a loving home and family of her own.

Sherri is known at the shelter for asking nicely to get your attention if you’re close enough to her cage. She’ll just reach out a paw and tap you on the shoulder or back. As soon as you turn to pet her she will rub against the bars of her cage and often roll onto her back for a tummy rub.

Sherri is up-to-date on her vaccines, tested FIV/FeLV negative and has been spayed. If you would like to adopt Sherri and add that much more love and loyalty to your family,

please call the PAWS shelter at (860) 480-1104.

Windham-County 4-H Camp celebrates 60 yearsPOMFRET — The 254-acre property

on Taft Pond Road rang with sounds of laughter and celebration beginning Friday afternoon Aug. 22 and continu-ing though the closing circle at 4:30 p.m. on Aug. 23.

Current, past, and prospective camp-ers, staff, friends and families arrived on Friday afternoon to claim a cabin or

pitch a tent for the night. They settled in for dinner and an evening program that featured skits that everyone participat-ed in, and the requisite campfire with camp songs led by Betty Lou Sandy and s’mores before taps.

Everyone was up early the next morn-ing for breakfast and to sign up for four different activity periods throughout

the day. On offer were opportunities for arts and crafts activities, archery, zip-lining, taking a nature walk, water sports, fishing, playing foursquare, or sitting on the newly completed front porch reminiscing and enjoying the view of the pond.

After a delicious lunch, and remarks by Foundation President Jane Rider and long-term Foundation member Eileen Fritz, who remembered helping to clear the land where the lodge now sits, the 60th anniversary cake was cut for dessert.

The oldest attendee was Bea Buell, 98, who was one of the original camp counselors and is the great aunt of cur-rent camp director Heather Logee. Also among those in attendance were sever-al descendants or relatives of the origi-nal Foundation members, who started the camp with $50,000 and hundreds of hours of volunteer labor on 28 acres in 1954. All funds raised from this event went into the Jim Logee Campership Fund, to defray camp costs for those

who might not be able to attend next year without some financial help.

The all volunteer Foundation is con-tinuing to raise funds to embark on phase two of a long-anticipated lodge renovation project which will hopefully be completed before the 61st camp sea-son begins. To contribute to this effort, please contact the Foundation office at 860-974-3379.

Camp Northwood finishes summer in fine fashionPhotos courtesy Brenda Orlowski, Cherry Lane Photography

WOODSTOCK — Camp Northwood, a program of Northwood Childcare, recently completed its seventh year, providing a wide variety of programs to more than 30 children.

Camp director Jason Howard, M.Ed, said, “Our goal is to introduce children ages 5-12 to as many new experiences as possi-ble. We offer sports instruction in the mornings, ranging from lacrosse to golfing to bicycle safety, with help from the CT State Police, and the afternoons are filled with a lot of fun.”

This summer, Camp Northwood pro-vided swim lessons at the town beach, equestrian week at Woodstock Acres, castle building with Sandtasia, hikes and blueberry picking after the children made their own baskets, and of course, the ice cream truck. Their final day con-cluded with a bang — a giant water slide, dunk tank and cookout. Good times were had by all and captured by local photogra-pher Brenda Orlowski from Cherry Lane Photography.

BY CHARLIE LENTZVILLAGER SPORTS EDITOR

KILLINGLY — Two years ago Killingly High captured the Eastern Connecticut Conference Class S boys soc-cer regular season champion-ship with a 12-4 record. Last year the Redmen stepped up to Class M and finished 5-9-3 overall. Coach Ron Frechette won’t be satisified with a sub-.500 record. He wants another shot at an ECC crown.

“This year I’m expecting us to compete for the M title,” said Frechette, in his seventh sea-son at the helm. “The two big squads — which are Montville and Waterford — I expect us to compete with those guys. Our goals are to make the tourna-ment on both the ECC as well as the states.”

Perhaps part of Frechette’s optimism begins with the return of junior center mid-fielder Sean Guerin. Guerin scored 13 of the team’s 19 goals last season.

“(Guerin) wants to attack. He’s the attacking force that we’re going to drive around this year,” Frechette said. “We’ve got to find a way to make sure he that gets his free-dom to do the stuff and get everybody to play with him and for him to play with every-body else.”

John Naylor will serve as Frechette’s assistant coach. Frechette expects opposing defense to shadow Guerin so the Redmen need to find other scoring options as well.

“We’ve got to find a team to work together around him and with him with the team,” Frechette said. “One thing I like is his attitude and every-body’s working as hard as they can to say ‘We’ve got to get bet-ter as a team to score.’ ”

Frechette was pleased with Guerin’s 13 goals last year but he’d like to see the junior attacker get his teammates more involved this season.

“I’d like to see 10 assists with about 10 goals and that will make everything better for most of us,” Frechette said.

Guerin expects to get plenty of shots on goal and he also expects to make them count.

“I’m shooting for more than what I did last year,” Guerin said. “I’m expecting to go above my standards this year and really shine out this year. I’m looking to try and bring my offense together more and get us to work more as a team so they’re more like the defense. The defense is a really great team when they work togeth-er and that’s what our offense needs to be too — we can’t have them all be individuals.”

The Redmen will use a 4-3-3 with a four-back flat four align-ment — four defenders, four midfielders and three attack-ers.

“The only thing that we’re doing tactically or technically different this year — we didn’t get enough people in the attack — Sean (Guerin) was left on his own,” Frechette said. “What we’re trying to do is get more teammates with him in the attack. That means the wide backs have got to step up and we’re trying to figure out if we cannot stay with two defensive mids but see if we can get down to one.”

Senior Owen Guillot is one of the team captains and he’s expecting improvement over last season.

“I’m definitely thinking that the state tournament is definitely in our eyes,” Guillot said. “We’re real-ly striving for that and I think we have a very good team. I’m really expecting high standards.”

Defensive mid-fielder Devon Harris is also a team captain and he wants his senior season to be a winning one.

“I want to go to the state tourna-ment since it’s my last year here,”

Harris said. “And the team’s looking really strong and real-ly confident to bring us there. We also have a good shot in the ECC.”

Frechette expects Harris to contribute on offense as well.

“When we transition — going from a 4-2-3-1 into either a 4-1-3-2 or a 4-3-3 — Devon’s going to be moving up and adding to the attack out of the center of the field,” Frechette said.

Senior Zack Smith will be back at defensive midfielder and is counted on for leader-ship as well.

“Zack is going to be one of our leaders on the field. He doesn’t wear a captain’s arm-band but I’m expecting a lot of good things out of him,” Frechette said.

Junior Gino Ferraj returns to the lineup and will be at striker.

“(Ferraj) is the other big striker. He’s healthy this year. I’m really excited with the fact that’s he’s done a lot of off-sea-son conditioning with us,” Frechette said. “He’s making a difference on the field.

Guerin, Ferraj and junior Joe Bonneau will be the prime offensive weapons at striker. With Guillot at outside half-back, junior Brendan Turner will be at center halfback. Junior Andrew Erskine will also be at outside halfback.

“(Turner) is going to making a lot of the calls,” Frechette said.

Senior Andrew Klawitter will play the majority of min-utes for the Redmen in goal. Senior Allen Perron will also likely see some time in goal.

“Andrew looks like he’s going to be the prominent goalkeeper,” Frechette said. “Andrew looks like he’s the incumbent and there’s a rea-son for that.”

Senior midfielder Titus Kamara also returns.

“(Kamara) is going to be an outside mid in the attacking formation side,” Frechette said. “Titus is got a lot of skill and a lot of athleticism. He brings some good stuff.”

Senior Alex Torcoletti will be at left outside mid-fielder.

Frechette won’t settle for another sub-.500 season and his players have been working hard to give their coach what he wants.

“It’s been outstanding. A lot of guys were here in the summer to get condition-ing and we’ve done some good things,” Frechette said. “Hopefully we can put some high pressure on some teams at times to make a difference. We’re excited about the season. We’re positive about it. I think we can put more goals in the back of the net.”

Killingly plays host to Putnam High in the season opener next Wednesday, Sept. 10, with the match scheduled for 6 p.m. at Killingly High School.

WOODSTOCK — Coach John Ywarsky is in just his second year as head coach of the Woodstock Academy girls cross country team but expects his young team to have the success of veteran program.

“Because it’s our second year work-ing together we’re really starting to set the tone for the program,” said Ywarsky. “What’s expected when you come in. You need to be in good shape. You need to be able to run. You need to be ready to go. All the other teams in the

ECC are working hard and so have we.”The team finished 8-5 overall and

many of Ywarsky’s runners compet-ed for the track team last spring that went 6-2 in the Eastern Connecticut Conference.

“Woodstock Academy girls cross country has never finished higher than fourth at the ECC cross country cham-pionships,” Ywarsky said. “The goal this year is to win the whole thing. We’ve got the talent. They’ve worked hard over the summer. As long as we keep working hard and everybody stays healthy — even with the youth on this team we have a really good chance of

going all the way. At states we’d like to finish in the top five at Class MM — that would give us a good chance of qualify-ing for the State Open meet.”

Sophomore Sylvia Lawrence returns and as a freshman she finished in third place at the ECC cross country champi-onships.

“(Lawrence) is one of the best runners for her age group in the state,” Ywarsky said. “We’re glad to have her back.”

Ywarsky said his runners put in their roadwork over the summer.

“It’s self-motivated. It’s relying on them to work together and run to stay in shape,” Ywarsky said. “We have five girls who ran over 200 miles this sum-mer, which is pretty good for a young team.”

Some of the returning contributors include sophomores Jordan Woodland, Brittany Eber and Shai-Lin Gothreau and junior captain Megan Feragne.

The lineup also includes seniors Annette Costanzo, captain Nicole Cadro and Paisley Gothreau, junior Allison Kelleher, sophomores Shai-Lin Gothreau, Kelly Trivella and fresh-men Eden Law, Hannah Matsas, Leah Randolph, Clara Siegmund.

Ywarsky credits good running pro-grams at Brooklyn Middle School, Woodstock Middle School and Pomfret Community School for providing a pipeline of good runners.

“We’ve been very lucky from Brooklyn, Pomfret and Woodstock to have a lot of talent to come this way,” Ywarsky said.

Practice began last Saturday. Ywarsky expected his runners to be ready to work.

“They’re going to do a two-mile time trial. We’re going to see what type of shape they’re in,” Ywarsky said. “And from here on out it’s ECCs or bust. This program is going to be very deep for the next three to four years easily — and I hope for much longer after that as well.”

Ellis Tech boys soccer looks for quick start

Woodstock Academy cross country has high hopes


DANIELSON — While the Ellis Tech soccer team lost two of its top players to gradua-tion — goalkeeper Matt Snay and defensive center mid-fielder Kyle Watson — the Golden Eagles return several key performers who helped the team put together a sev-en-game winning streak last season. Co-coach Drew Mizak hopes Ellis Tech can keep the momentum it built during its second-half surge. Mizak and Matt Papuga share coaching duties for Ellis Tech.

“We sent off a couple seniors and it’s always tough to lose their leadership. The good news is it seems to be in waves, we have three or four really consistent solid players at each grade level,” Mizak said. “So while we did lose some excellent players last year we have three or four individuals, seniors that are stepping right now and filling that void.”

Among the key returnees is senior center midfielder Jervan Fontaine.

“(Fontaine) is such a pres-ence offensively. I thought he was in incredible shape last year now he’s come into this season even taller and in bet-ter shape,” Mizak said. “He’s one of those rare athletes in our league that you don’t see a whole heck of a lot. His soccer skills are where they were last year if not better. He’s going to be playing that center-mid posi-tion. He’s going to be huge.”

Senior midfielder Brandon Comtois will also be expected to be a key cog.

“Comtois and Fontaine came up together as freshmen,” Mizak said. “I think a lot of where this team is going to go — obviously it’s the whole team — but they’re going to have a big part to do with that. And I think having two senior leaders at the midfield position really sets the tone for us com-ing into the season and I expect great things out of them.”

Junior Pat Garrett will likely see plenty of time in goal.

“We’ve been working (Garrett) in net and he’s been pretty promising so far so I really do have high expecta-tions for him going into the season,” Mizak said.

Senior Chicago Rogers will be at the sweeper position, the last line of defense.

“(Rogers) was a great addi-tion last year, kind of came out of nowhere,” Mizak said. “Came back and played the sweeper position and played it pretty darn well. To have another senior leader, the kids really respond to that. To have him back there on defense to

really act as that anchor will really help kind of gel that defense together.”

Rogers and Garrett will have to work together. Senior stop-per Noah Deojay will be expect-ed to help anchor the defense as well.

“Given that (Garrett) is a new keeper they’re going to have to focus on the commu-nication between the goalie and his first line of defense — that sweeper position. The goalie can see the whole field and the sweeper can see most of it so the conversation has to be good between all those positions,” Mizak said. “The fact that you do have a guy like Chicago back there that is a senior and is willing to step up and get everybody where they need to be — and I expect that leadership to carry over to Pat (Garrett) too.”

Freshman Zach Lavoie is expected to provide some scor-ing punch on the forward line.

“(Lavoie) has showed a lot, certainly has the talent,” Mizak said. “If he can come in and play with some confidence I think Fontaine and Comtois

will set him up with quite a few goal-scoring opportunities and I think he can capitalize on them.”

Mizak expects the bench to contribute this season. The team also includes Dan Selbe, Jacob Bulmer, Cameron Glaude, Tyler Hubert, Marcus Lewis, James Mullin, Holly DeRouin, Adreanna Hannan, Harrison Basley, Alyssa Wetnicka, Jacob Mullin, Liam Morin, Lance Metzger, Logan Mish, Trevor Bassett, Colin Glenn, Randy Desnoyer and Waylin Collins.

“Last year we had 11 good starters and then the bench was pretty light and that came up and hurt us against some of the better opponents,” Mizak said. “This year we’ll have some good role players off the bench. They’re just as an important part to this team.”

The team went 2-6-1 over its first nine games last season but closed the regular season with seven straight wins. Mizak is hoping for a stronger start this season.

“We’re stressing these guys from the beginning that’s it’s

important to come out swing-ing from the beginning of the season,” Mizak said. “Those lit-tle games that don’t seem like a big deal in early September matter a whole heck of a lot in late October. This year I’m hopeful — looking at the sched-ule — that we can get off to a

really good start.”The team opens the season

on Sept. 12 at Cheney Tech.

THOMPSON — Justin Bonsignore earned his second Thompson Speedway Motorsports Park victory this season behind the wheel of his NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour entry after taking the late race lead and holding on through two restarts in the Budweiser King of Beers 150 on Aug. 14. Kerry Malone led the way in NASCAR Whelen All American Series action with a convincing victory in the Sunoco Modified 30-lap feature event. Also picking up wins were Larry Gelinas in the Late Models, Eric Bourgeois in the Monster Mini Stock division and Corey Hutchings in the Xtra Mart Limited Sportsman division. Art Chartier won the Vintage Outlaw feature.

Justin Bonsignore won the Budweiser King of Beers 150 to earn his sixth career Whelen Modified Tour victory and his third at Thompson Speedway Motorsports Park. He is also the first driver to win consecutive races at Thompson since Ted Christopher did it with four in a row (beginning in 2010).

Donny Lia and Ron Yuhas led the field off the line with Lia getting the early lead. Tommy Barrett, Jr. moved into sec-ond on lap four before he and Lia pulled away from the rest of the field by half-a-straightaway. Barrett attached himself to Lia’s bumper, but Lia held strong in the lead despite the pressure.

Racing resumed at lap 17 with Lia jumping to the front. Ryan Preece got by Barrett for second, but didn’t have enough to take over the lead. Lia, Preece and Barrett pulled away from the rest of the field. Barrett challenged Preece on the outside in turn three, but Preece pulled away coming out of the corner. Preece started working the bottom groove to try and make a run on Lia, but Lia was too strong and continually pulled away.

Caution slowed the pace at lap 40, but Lia continued to set the pace when rac-ing resumed at lap 46. Preece got hung up on the inside groove and dropped back to fourth behind Doug Coby and Yuhas. Preece’s luck continued to turn for the worse, how-ever, when he got turned coming off turn four.

The green came back out at lap 58 with Lia leading the way. Barrett and Coby rounded out the top-three with Barrett only a car length behind Lia. The field strung out single file until cau-tion flew at lap 73. Lia led a contingent of lead lap cars onto pit road, but it was Timmy Solomito out first. Glen Reen inherited the lead for the restart.

Reen held off the hard-charging Ron Silk to keep the lead on the restart, but Silk was able to get a run on the bottom to take over the top spot on lap 83. Barrett fol-lowed suit to take over second on lap 85 while Matt Hirschman took over third. Lia, meanwhile, was on the move and had advanced to third by lap 95.

The long green flag run worked into Silk’s favor as he worked his way through lapped traffic with ease. Barrett remained within distance, but couldn’t get close enough to challenge.

The race took a surprising turn at lap 124 when Patrick Emerling spun in turn one collecting Barrett and Lia. Coby and Justin Bonsignore took over second and third.

Silk drove to the front on the restart at lap 129 but caution quickly came back out when Rowan Pennink spun in turn four. Coby took the lead when racing resumed at lap 135, but the action wasn’t over yet. Justin Bonsignore used the bottom groove to take the lead on lap 136 in turn four. Coby remained glued to his bumper, but the race came to a halt quickly when Yuhas and Eric Goodale hit hard in turn two.

Bonsignore led the field back to green with only nine laps remaining. Coby hung tough on the inside, but Bonsignore was able to prevail and hold on to the lead. Coby, Silk and Preece went three-wide for the second spot with Silk coming out with the position. Caution would realign the field back to the last completed lap with Coby back in the second position beside Bonsignore for the restart.

Bonsignore cleared Coby heading into turn one to hold on to the lead. Hirschman advanced to second with Coby holding on to third for the checkers.

Kerry Malone used two three-wide moves to take the lead on the third lap of the Sunoco Modified feature and lead the remainder of the 30-lap Sunoco Modified feature.

Troy Talman took the early lead, but had Malone to deal with as he shot up to the front to challenge heading into turn three. Talman held the lead as they came to the line. On lap three, Talman’s night took a dramatic turn when he and Keith Rocco made contact in turn two and took him out of the lead and out of contention.

Malone used the outside groove for the restart with Tyler Chadwick getting rele-gated back to the sixth spot after starting on the front row inside groove. Todd Ceravolo, Ryan Preece, and McDermott rounded out the top-four. Malone pulled out to a five car length lead as the remain-

ing top-five, which included Rocco, ran nose-to-tail.

As the laps wound down, Malone and Ceravolo pulled away from Preece, who had slipped back by ten car lengths. Meanwhile, Rocco got by McDermott for the fourth spot at lap 26 and began to close in on Preece.

Malone approached lapped traffic as he took the white flag, but it didn’t slow him down at all as he cruised to checkered flag ahead of Ceravolo.

Corey Hutchings picked up the win in the Limited Sportsman 30-lap feature after taking the lead from Chris Douton on lap seven.

Scott Young took the early lead as Tommy Shea, Jr. and Douton battled it out for the second spot. Douton cleared the position and set his sights on the lead, which he claimed on lap three. Caution tightened the field back up with Douton and Young on the front row for the green flag.

Douton resumed the race lead with Corey Hutchings on his bumper. Coming around turn four on lap four, Hutchings challenged on the bottom groove as the duo went side-by-side through turns one and two. The battle continued through the entire lap with Douton holding on to the top spot by inches. On the following circuit, Hutchings got a run and cleared Douton on the backstretch of lap seven for the lead.

Caution flew at lap eight for a spun car in turn four, but the pause didn’t hinder Hutchings, who shot right back out front when racing resumed. Hutchings pulled ahead to a commanding lead with Douton trying to reel him in. Caution, however, closed up that distance for Douton at lap 18.

At the drop of the green, Douton went high and wide in turn four slipping back in the field before pulling off the track. Hutchings, meanwhile, pulled out front by five car lengths over the rest of the field. Shawn Monahan took over second with Scott Sundeen quickly closing in third.

Hutchings had no pressure as he con-tinued to pull further and further away from the field before taking the checkered flag firmly in control.

Larry Gelinas ended a ten-year dry spell for car owner Jeff Hartwell when he took the victory in the Late Model 30-lap feature Thursday night. Gelinas took the lead on a lap six restart and never looked back.

Nick Ladyga and Gelinas brought the field to green with a tight door-to-door battle ensuing. Ladyga held a small advantage at the line to lead the first lap, but he had no time to get comfort-able as Chris Curtis got up alongside him at lap four to challenge for the lead. The duo were side-by-side when Gelinas looked underneath entering turn four, but backed out of it coming out of the

turn. On the next circuit, Ladyga made contact with Curtis, who spun in turn four before caution came out. Ladyga was sent to the rear and Gelinas took the lead for the restart.

Family of Hyde alum bikes cross-country to fight MS

WOODSTOCK — On Aug. 15, Hyde School graduate John (JT) Thoms and his father Ethan arrived at the Hyde Woodstock campus for one final stop in a cross-country bicycle ride to fight multiple sclerosis (MS).

The two began their trek in Astoria, Ore., where 4,500 miles stood between them and their final destination of East Matunuck State Beach, R.I. After 69 days of riding and of sleeping in churches and city parks, students, staff, and fac-ulty at Hyde-Woodstock gath-

ered to send the Thoms off on the last leg of a long journey.

“This is our last day after 4,300 miles of mountains, can-yons, rivers, snow, hail…trucks that blow smoke at you,” said Ethan to the Hyde community. And though the two met their share of obstacles, “Anything that you could imagine could possibly go wrong with a bicy-cle, has gone wrong,” added JT.

They remained determined to accomplish their ultimate goal, not just to ride across the country, but also to raise $10,000 for the MS Society.

They are within $1,000 of reaching that goal.

Coincidently, the last stop on their trip was also, in a sense, the first one.

“We first came to Hyde five years ago, and it was a pret-

ty humbling experience,” said Ethan. “One of the things I learned was that you can help others and you can teach oth-ers a lot by doing stuff your-self, not being selfish but just achieving your dreams and chasing your dreams.”

One of Ethan’s dreams was to cycle across the country, and since he and his family have been raising money for the MS Society for years, the Thoms decided to “do some good” on this father-son adventure.

The Hyde community thanks and congratulates Ethan and JT for the great example they have set with the “Coast 2 Toast” tour. To join the fight against MS, visit JT’s website and show your support (http://bit.ly/Coast2Toast).

‘Sunflowers for Kids’ raises $1.2K for autism servicesPOMFRET CENTER — Families flocked to Lapsley Orchard

Sunday, Aug. 31, for United Services’ 10th annual Sunflowers for Kids, raising $1,200 for local children’s autism program-ming.

All proceeds from sales of sunflowers and wildflowers during the event were donated to United Services Center for Autism. Children of all ages also enjoyed face painting and balloon ani-mals as well as the orchard’s bountiful pick-your-own offerings.

“United Services is grateful to John and Patty Wolchesky of Lapsley Orchard for their generous support of our programs,” said Diane L. Manning, president and CEO of United Services. “Their partnership helps local families access much-needed services in our community, which many times are not covered or not fully covered by their insurance.”

Lapsley Orchard has hosted the annual end-of-summer event for United Services children’s programming for 10 years. This is the third year funds have been donated to the agency’s Center for Autism, which United Services opened in July of 2012 in response to the significant unmet need for autism ser-vices in eastern Connecticut.

The Center’s offerings include comprehensive assessments and gold-standard clinical therapy for people of all ages with Autism Spectrum Disorders, complemented by supportive programs. These “wrap-around” support programs include critical social skills training and social thinking groups, tutor-ing help, vocational training and recreational opportunities for children and adults with autism, as well as classroom consul-tations and training and support groups for parents, grandpar-ents and siblings.

Gerard A. Lavallee, 96EAST THOMPSON

— Jannette Sullivan, of East Thompson, passed away on Monday, Aug. 25, at Westview Healthcare in Dayville.

She was born on April 7, 1923, in East Hampton, to John F. and Dorthea (Charlesson) Anderson.

She attended the East Hampton school systems, moving to Cromwell with her family as teenager. She worked for several years at the W.A. Pierson Greenhouses & Nursery in Cromwell, raising and cultivating orchids. Wallace and Andy Pierson named one of their cymbidium Orchids, “The Jannette Anderson,” in honor and recognition of her care and success in growing these beautiful flowers.

She was an avid swimmer and loved music and dance. She had a passion for classic movies with an uncanny ability to identify every character in every movie.

She married Norman T. “Sully” Sullivan and they moved to East Thompson, buying their homestead on Quaddick Town Farm Road. There were many a family-filled Memorial Day gatherings, packing the field with friends and relatives playing softball and eating Sully’s famous steam-ers. Mrs. Sullivan was a Thompson Brownie leader for several years and also worked with the Thompson Public Health Nurses, scheduling appointments and providing trans-portation to clinics. Norman “Sully” Sullivan passed away in 1983. Mrs. Sullivan remained at their home until her declining health required care at Westview.

She leaves her daughter, Donna Rossi, and her husband, Enzo of Buffalo, Wyo.; her step-daughter, Maureen Thomasen of Grand Junction, Colo.; her granddaughters: Ellen Reilly (Tim) of Rockford, Ill., and Beth K. Fisher

of Seymour; four grandsons: Vaughn Modeen (Sue) of East Hartford, Christopher Modeen of Middletown, Jaime Thomasen of Manchester, and William Thomason of Grand Junction, Colo.; and three great-grandchildren Grace and Sullivan Reilly of Rockford, Ill., and Kyle Modeen of East Hartford. She also leaves behind many dear nieces, nephews, cousins, friends and neighbors for whom she cared deeply.

Her parents, sister Leona Smigel and brother Warren Anderson, passed away before her but always remained strong in her heart.

Those who loved Jannette will remember her wonderful baking abil-ities that included Swedish coffee cake, homemade roles and her famous scones. She had a deep love of cats and dogs and never turned away one of the many stray animals that arrived at her doorstep. Her passion for playing card games, like pitch, were only rivaled by her unending ability to win each hand.

The family would like to express their deep appreciation to Dr. Marguerite Davis for her expertise, extra time and true caring. Also to a heartfelt thank you to the Annex Nursing Staff at Westview for their professionalism, compassion and devotion to Jannette; also to the Activities Department, Housekeeping, and Dietary (with a spe-cial thank you to Barbara and Angie) we appreciate all your kindness.

As her husband Sully would say, “Safe journey and bless you, Jano!” We are all better people for know-ing and loving you. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the East Thompson Fire Department, or the animal shelter of your choice.

Relatives and friends visited with Jannette’s family on Saturday, Aug. 30, in the Gilman Funeral Home, 104 Church St., Putnam, with a funeral service in the funeral home. Burial followed in East Thompson Cemetery.

Karen Bomster, of Putnam, was named Westview’s 2014 Employee of The Year.

Westview names 2014 Employee of The Year

DAYVILLE — Karen Bomster, of Putnam, was recently named Westview’s 2014 Employee of The Year by the Westview Health Care Center nomination committee.

Westview Administrator David T. Panteleakos made the announcement of her award at the culmina-tion of the week-long employee appreciation celebra-tion at the service awards banquet held at Grill 37 of

Pomfret on Saturday, Aug. 24.Bomster, a licensed practical nurse, joined the

Westview team on Jan. 3, 1991. To begin her 23-year Westview career she worked as a full-time treatment nurse, which matriculated to charge nurse. Then in 2007, she transitioned full time to the Resident Services Department as a nurse case manager and then in 2009 took on responsibilities as the facility discharge nurse.

Over the years Karen received four Employee Acknowledgement Reports, 18 above and beyond the call of duty “WOW” cards, achieved perfect atten-dance in 2001, 2006, 2008, 2010, 2012, 2014 and was rec-ognized as the 2004 February Employee of The Month.

In an effort to recognize outstanding employees, Westview implemented the Employee of The Year award in 2008 to enhance their established Employee of The Month program, which rewards outstanding employees who demonstrate dedication, outstanding work ethics, and a positive attitude that is reflected in their day-to-day work.

“Karen’s exemplary professionalism and dedica-tion makes her a wonderful choice for Westview’s Employee of The Year, stated Administrator David T. Panteleakos. “Her commitment and high standards bring great value to the lives of our residents and patients. This award is certainly testimony to the amazing contributions Karen brings to our Westview family.”

“It was my good fortune to join the Westview Team in 1991, so I have been witness to part of the growth Westview has experienced,” said Bomster. “I am so proud of the people I work with who demonstrate day after day how kind, compassionate and knowledge-able they are whether caring for long term residents or individuals here for short term rehab entrusted to our care. Westview’s dedication to quality health care starts with administration whose leadership in pro-viding quality health care in a positive environment is second-to- none.”

Bomster has resided in northeastern Connecticut all of her life and graduated from Woodstock Academy in 1970. She has been married to her high school sweetheart Wally for 44 years and has four children, seven grandchildren and a grandchild on the way in November.

As Employee of The Year, Karen received a clock, dozen roses, Westview logo shirt and coat, numerous gift cards and three days off with pay.
