BY MATT SANDERSONVILLAGER STAFF WRITER

“The amount of traffic has

been growing and growing,”Spiro Haveles, owner ofClassic Pizza, said regardingRoute 6 in Brooklyn. “We’reone of the oldest businesseshere on Route 6. Our businessis still very strong.”

Haveles, who cameDanielson from Peloponnesia,Greece, with his parents,Christos and Tasia, in 1969,became the owner of therestaurant in 2000, but wasinvolved with the businessyears prior to that. As far backas 1965, the original pizza

BROOKLYN — A townmeeting was set and bidswere awarded on twotown projects at theBoard of Selectmen’smeeting last Wednesday,Sept. 30.

Taxpayers will havetheir say on the future ofthe Parks and RecreationDepartment building on

Prince Hill RoadWednesday, Oct. 28, dur-ing a town meeting. Theselectmen voted inSeptember 2008 to razethe building and againlast February, and haveset aside $10,000 in thebudget to do just that.

The department had tomove to the Clifford B.Green Memorial Centerat 69 South Main St. in

April 2008 because its for-mer headquarters onPrince Hill Road, conve-niently located next tothe Donald FrancisRecreation Park, wasinfested with rodents andtermites and had waterdamage and a saggingstructure.

Last week the select-men reviewed bids torenovate the building as

an option instead of tear-ing it down. The one bidthat was discussed, com-ing from Stone BrookBuilders, was for $56,100to replace the sheetrock,insulation, floors, base-ment and roof. However,the costs increased to$77,000 when tacking onthe work needed to the

Ride for the Cure raises $95KBY OLIVIA BRAATEN

VILLAGER CORRESPONDENT

POMFRET — RebeccaWentworth’s husband broughthome a brochure about a horseride at Tyrone Farm.

“It looked like it would be alot of fun,” the Union womansaid.

Six weeks later, doctors diag-nosed her with breast cancer.Just 45 years old at the time —in 2005 — the mother of fivemanaged to start and finishchemotherapy just in time tojoin in the Ride for the Cureevent.

Ever since, she and her 27-year-old horse, Copar, have kepton coming to the ride.

The truth is, though,Wentworth doesn’t want to

have to do it.“Hopefully there will be no

need for the ride someday, andwe’ll have to find another rea-son to get together,” she said.

Now in its ninth year, theKomen Connecticut Ride forthe Cure raises support forbreast cancer research. Thisyear, 101 riders participated inthe Oct. 4 event, raising an esti-mated $95,000. It is the firstfund-raiser of its kind.

The founders and organizersof the event, pharmaceuticalscientist Amy Jakowski andmidwife Pam Townshend, havesince inspired affiliates inMassachusetts, Virginia andTexas to host similar rides. Tenmore events are expected to beoffered throughout the nation

in 2010.“We never thought it would

be as big as it is,” Townshendsaid. “Every year, Amy and Ilook at each other and say, ‘Gofigure.’”

But common passions unite,riders say. Any event that com-bines the powerful, compellingcase of breast cancer with thefact that recreational horse rid-ing tends to be done primarilyby women is bound to succeed.

“It’s a perfect match,”Townshend said.

Every person rode for them-selves or for someone close tothem who either survived can-cer or was not so lucky, sheexplained.

On Oct. 11, the KillinglyConservation Commission willsponsor a walk and, river condi-tions permitting, a boating opportu-nity on the river trail along thebanks of the Quinebaug Riversouth of Danielson. The followinginformation on the history of thetrail was provided by KillinglyTown Planner Linda Walden andEric Rumsey, also of the PlanningDepartment.

The trail was designed as a multi-purpose trail for bicyclists, walkers,joggers, etc., and eventually willconnect with Putnam on the northand Plainfield to the south. Phase 1,including the pocket park near themill and the trail from theBrooklyn–Killingly Bridge onRoute 6 down to the junction withRoute 6 and Wauregan Road, wasfinished in 1993 and was included inand funded through a state DOTproject, which eliminated the for-mer rotary at the intersection ofRoute 12 (Main Street). Phase 2 runsfrom the intersection of 6 andWauregan Road to the Little Leaguefields behind the sewer treatmentplant and was funded through thefederal ISTEA program andincludes a canoe launch. It wascompleted in the late ’90s and wasdesignated as part of the EastcoastGreenway (Maine to Florida) andConnecticut Greenways.

Phase 3 and 4 funding wasreceived 2000, with permittinggranted in 2002. Construction start-ed in July 2008 and was completedin May 2009. Phase 3 picks up thetrail at the water pollution controlauthority site and continues southto Quinebaug Drive. Phase 4 is fromQuinebaug Drive to the end of theDavis property owned by the town.Phase 3 and 4 are approximately 2miles in length. Phase 3 is along theriver and follows the trolley line forabout 1,000 feet. It includes a bridgeover Fall Brook and the Lebeaufishing weirs. Phase 4 is mostlywooded on either side and followsthe trolley line to Quinebaug Drive.

This area along the river is notonly one of great scenic beauty, it isalso rich in heritage from theNative American era through the20th century. In this column, I’llsummarize some of that rich histo-ry.

Archaeological fieldworkunearthed an ancient fishing campnow known as the LeBeau FishingCamp and Weir Site that is part ofthe walk area. Although the num-ber of projectile points was notgreat since it was predominately afishing site, “a number of diagnos-tic artifacts show that the site wasoccupied intermittently over thou-sands of years. A Neville point styleindicates a Middle Archaic occupa-tion (circa 8,000-6,000 years ago).”Other points date from 4,500 to 1,500years ago (Lavin, Lucianne andMarc Banks, “LeBeau Fishing

Camp & Weir ArchaeologicalPreserve”). When one keeps inmind that the Great Pyramid ofGiza was finished about 2560 B.C.(more than 4,500 years ago), it bog-gles the mind to ponder such anancient Native American presencehere in Killingly.

Perhaps some of you are familiarwith a Native American legendassociated with the area nearKillingly’s sewer treatment plantnear the beginning of the walk —the battle of the Nipmucks andNarragansetts. Since others maynot know the tale, I’ll summarize.The earliest written account that Ihave uncovered is in John W.Barber’s Connecticut HistoricalCollections in the 1830s. TheNipmucks from this vicinity wereinvited by the Narragansetts livingnear Stonington to travel there for afeast. Once there, they were treatedto a well-prepared meal of shellfishand were “highly pleased.” Inreturn, they invited theNarragansetts to travel north for afeast of lamprey eels ”after thelapse of two moons.” Unfortunately,the Narragansetts were not sopleased with the meal they werepresented.

“The [Nipmuck] squaws wereordered to bring forward the fish, inthe kettles in which they had beencooked. A convenient supply wasthen provided for each of theguests, who, perceiving that theywere cooked without dressing, weredisgusted and refused to partake. …The Nipmucks proceeded to ‘hardwords,’ which their guests retortedwith too much spirit to be borne.The Nipmucks seized theirweapons and attacked their guests,who were unarmed. ManyNipmucks fell: but of theNarragansetts all perished but two,who crossed the Quinebaug and fledto their tribe, bearing the news ofthe massacre. … Not long after, theremaining portion of the tribecame up [the Brooklyn side of theriver].” The Nipmucks dug a trenchin the sandy soil of the eastern sideof the Quinebaug. A battle ensuedthat supposedly lasted for threedays, leaving a number ofNipmucks dead. According toBarber, in the 1830s, the entrench-ments were still visible, as wereskeletons of the dead NativeAmericans.

After the settlement of Killinglyby white inhabitants, the fertilefloodplain south of present-day

Danielson was used primarily forfarmland and woodland. The con-struction of numerous small textilemills at sites in Killingly beginningabout 1810 and the opening of therailroad from Norwich to Worcesterin 1840 sparked interest in the area.In 1851, Elisha Dyer Jr. (governor ofRhode Island from 1857-’59)acquired land along the Quinebaugand the privilege to erect a dam. By1866, he had completed plans for aproposed factory estate titledNashawaug Water Power Estate.The factory was never built. Dyer’shealth deteriorated, and in July1874, he conveyed the property toWauregan Mills of Plainfield for$10,000. The potential of the areawas finally utilized several decadeslater.

The People’s Tramway Company,created by a resolution of theConnecticut General Assembly in1893, acquired land and waterrights in the Nashawaug area.Although it commenced operationson the northern portion fromAlexander’s Lake to Putnam inSeptember 1899, according to LesterB. Wheeler in a May 27, 1954,Danielson centennial edition of theWindham County Transcript, con-struction of the southern portion ofthe trolley track was begun in 1901,and in 1901-’02, the power house(trolley barn) was built at the oldDyer Dam location. The trolleyremained in operation until 1921.Nevertheless, the old trolley barnwas utilized for a number of pur-poses until it was destroyed by firein 1987. Dyer Dam was severelydamaged during the 1938Hurricane.

PUBLIC

MEETINGS

BY MATT SANDERSONVILLAGER STAFF WRITER

HARTFORD — Last month theSenate and House ofRepresentatives approved theconsolidation of the state’s pro-bate court system, which con-denses the existing 117 probatecourts into 54 districts, to go intoeffect by Jan. 5, 2011.

However, the remaining issuesin those newly consolidated dis-tricts are where the centrallylocated probate courts will be,and whether various probateoperational costs will fall back toits respective municipalities.

A probate redistricting com-mission was formed last sum-mer to develop the new probatedistrict boundaries and the pro-visions that will go along withthe consolidation.

Of the new districts, the townsof Brooklyn, Eastford, Pomfret,Putnam, Thompson, Woodstock,Ashford and Union have beenproposed under one regionalprobate district, which has apopulation that totals roughly46,000 people.

Killingly, previously includedwith the Brooklyn district, hasnow been proposed to be a part ofthe probate district that makesup Canterbury, Plainfield,Sterling, Chaplin, Hampton,Scotland and Windham, whichhas roughly 71,000 people mak-ing up the district.

Gov. M. Jodi Rell signed intolaw last August the reform ofConnecticut’s 300-year-old pro-bate court system, in order tomake the courts more self-sus-taining and efficient throughconsolidation and centralizedaccounting while introducingnew professional standards.

Probate courts in Connecticuthave been funded by revenue col-lected from cases and a state

appropriation of $2.5 million.Rell has said that by 2011 whenthe reforms go into effect, theprobate system will be facing aprojected $5 million deficit.

According to John Filchak,executive director for theNortheast Connecticut Councilof Governments, the location ofthe Windham County probatedistrict remains a serious issue,as well as the possibility of vari-ous costs going back to towns.

Paul Knierim, the state pro-bate court administrator, saidthe existing probate structureremains in place through theend of current judges’ four-yearterms.

“The end result is really anexcellent one,” said Knierim.“The process of reducing thenumber of courts by such a sig-nificant number was certainlystrong medicine for the probatesystem. The painful part is rec-ognizing the fact that many ofthe judges that have served verywell for many years will not becontinuing with our system.”

On the flipside, Knierim saidthe Legislature and governorcame together on a long-termsolution that will preservewhat’s best with the state’s pro-bate court system.

“The costs to the taxpayerswill be significantly reduced,while accessibility to the probatecourts will be enhanced,” hesaid. “They will be open full time48 hours a week. The redistrict-ing process has ensured that,yeah, there isn’t a court in everytown, but there’s one in everyregion, so they will still be com-munity courts and still be verymuch people-oriented.”

Knierim reiterated that thereare no new costs that towns arebeing asked to assume.

“Towns have always had the

responsibility to provide thefacilities,” he added. “Thatprocess continues in new struc-ture. It will be the case thattowns may incur expenses inmaking one regional facility toaccommodate a regional courtstaff. However, some towns mayhave offset costs if they alreadyhave existing space to use. Plusit’s a shared responsibilityamongst towns.”

However, Thompson ProbateJudge Kathleen J. Murphy, whoalso served on the probate redis-tricting commission, disagrees,saying many issues remainunresolved about the probatecourt reform, especially forWindham County residents. Shesaid towns are responsible tofund the space for the regionalprobate court, and having it inBrooklyn is too far south, buthaving it in Thompson is too farnorth, with respect to the newredistricted system for the coun-ty.

“The probate court budgetreceives $1,200 from the town ofThompson for its operating bud-get,” she said. “Thompson alsoprovides the office space, locatedin Town Hall. With a regionalcourt, say for example, you needa space of about 10,000 squarefeet at a cost of $1 a square foot.Multiply that out and divide thatby the eight towns [in the dis-trict]. You’re looking at a bill of$15,000 per town per year.”

Murphy added thatThompson’s probate court’soperating budget includes fundsfor maintenance, an IT person,office supplies, utilities, phoneand snow removal.

“Our current budget willmushroom significantly underthis consolidation plan,” shesaid. “I feel that this is anunfunded mandate by the state

to towns. This is just shifting thecosts.”

Murphy added that there is apotential conflict of interestwith one of the provisionsincluded in the reform.

Under the new law, probatejudges will be allowed to contin-ue working in a private law prac-tice, while all other Connecticutjudges are prohibited from hav-ing a law practice, she said, andmust work 40 hours a week. Thatmeans probate judges, underthis law, will only be required towork at the regional probatecourt, on average, about 20 hoursa week.

“They should not be devotingtheir time on a part-time basis,”she said. “My feeling is that pro-bate court matters are serious.We’re asked to make importantdecisions, such as the termina-tion of parental rights, adoptionand wills of the state. All probatecourt judges should adopt full-time attention to matters to theirconstituents and of the interest-ed parties that come beforethem. This should be their mainprofessional focus, and theironly professional focus. Theyshould not have outside distrac-tions of running and maintain-ing a private practice of law.”

Murphy added that the consol-idation does not provideincreased training and educa-tion to new probate judges enter-ing the state system.

“How does that improve thequality of judicial decisions?”she asked. “How does thisreform help the towns?”

While Doug and I were camp-ing in the hills of WestVirginia in late September,

we saw five box turtles in one day. Ican’t recall ever seeing a box turtle inConnecticut. It turns out that ourstate is near the limit of their north-eastern range. Another reason theyare uncommon is human activity.

The maximum lifespan of a boxturtle could be as much as 138 years

(Nigrelli 1954). That could span sixgenerations of humans. In the wild,they are probably lucky to live 30 to40 years. Many end up as flattenedfauna on roads that fragment theirhabitat or separate them from nest-ing sites. Since it takes them about 20minutes to travel 100 yards (thelength of a football field), it would beimpossible for them to avoid anoncoming vehicle.

Another threat is loss of wetlandsand vernal pools. Even though boxturtles live on dry land, they stillneed access to water to drink, cool offand forage. They also seem to like todefecate in water.

Habitat changes that increasepredators likes dogs and raccoonsalso affect populations. Unlike deer, ifthe numbers of adults is reduced,turtles do not compensate by repro-ducing more. Box turtles take about adecade to reach breeding age. Theyonly have three to six eggs in eachclutch, laying several clutches a year.Out of hundreds of eggs, probablyonly a couple hatchlings will surviveto adulthood.

Eastern box turtles (Terrapene car-olina carolina) tend to be found nearforest-field edges with plenty ofunderbrush and close to water. Theirrange is small — only about 750 feetin diameter. They are seldom foundon land that is higher than 700 feet in

elevation (Source:Klemens 1993.)

They are active duringthe day. These omnivoreseat almost anything thatfits in their mouth, suchas vegetation, small fruitsand mushrooms (includ-ing those that are toxic tohumans), insects andother critters (especiallyworms and slugs). Theywill also eat carrion (deadmeat) and have beenobserved eating deadducks and even a deadcow.

During winter, box tur-tles hunker down in loosesoil and leaf litter tohibernate for severalmonths, sometimesreturning to the same spot year afteryear. Like wood frogs, box turtleshave antifreeze-like cryoprotectantsin their system. Box turtles can sur-vive gradual partial freezing for afew days, but a sudden cold snapcould kill them.

New England box turtles are big-ger than those I saw in the South. Allvary a lot in appearance. Males tendto have bright red eyes, while mostfemales have brown eyes. Males havea depression in the rear part of theplastron (the bottom part of theshell), while the plastron on a femaleis almost completely flat.

You can imagine that mating mightbe a bit tricky. Sometimes it can evenbe deadly. After courtship, which con-sists of circling, biting and shoving,the male mounts the female at a pre-cipitous angle. On occasion, he fallsover backwards. If he cannot righthimself, he will starve to death.Fortunately females can store thesperm and lay fertile eggs for up tofour years after a successful mating.

Collecting for the pet trade alsoimpacted populations. It is illegal tocollect box turtles from the wild with-out a permit in most states, includingConnecticut. Besides, wild caughtturtles often have protozoan and bac-terial infections, including salmonel-la, which is easily transmitted tohumans.

Connecticut law limits possession

of box turtles to a single animal. Thecare and feeding of box turtles ismore complicated than most peoplerealize. As far as children are con-cerned, box turtles make pretty bor-ing pets. If, after doing your home-work, you really do want a box turtle,contact a herpetological society, tur-tle and tortoise group, reptile rescuegroup, or animal shelter to see aboutadopting a turtle that needs a home.

Never let a pet box turtle loose inthe wild. Besides potentially spread-ing disease to wild populations, thiswould probably be a death sentence.Relocated turtles have a hominginstinct. When released, they willhead for the place where they areborn, increasing their odds of beingkilled.

To help wild box turtles, leave leaflitter and fallen woody debris on theforest floor. Obey speed limits toallow you to avoid a turtle on theroad. If you see a turtle trying tocross a busy road and can safely stop,pick it up and move it to the otherside in the direction it was facing.Otherwise, if you are lucky enoughto see a box turtle wandering in thewild, please leave it be.

Box turtles got their name from their helmet-shaped uppershell and the fact that they can close up like a box. The plas-tron has hinges in the front and the back that can be pulledup like drawbridges to protect them from predators. To makeroom, they expel air in their lungs and twist their heads in an“S” shape. This box turtle was seen in West Virginia.

That ubiquitous “personalstatement” also known asthe college essay: a source

of fear and trepidation but reallyan opportunity to tell your story.

I just returned from a week inBaltimore, Md., where I attendedthe annual National Associationof College AdmissionsCounselors (NACAC) after alsovisiting a number of collegesbeforehand. Attending NACAC isa great opportunity for highschool and independent collegecounselors and college admis-sions counselors to meet andgreet each other, to attend work-shops given by peers and to learnhow to better help students withthe various aspects of the collegeprocess.

One such workshop, held byRebecca Joseph, Ph.D., focused onthe college essay — how to demys-tify it and make it an opportunityto share your story. Much of whatProfessor Joseph talked aboutwas common knowledge amongus seasoned counselors, but onething she did say struck a cordwith me: “Give your students per-mission to tell their stories.” Shebelieves that most teenagers don’t

know that they have a story insidethem that is unique, fascinatingand needs to be told; rather, mostteenagers really believe that theirlives are boring — and really, whowould want to hear about it? Whocares if I did this or that? I agreewith Professor Joseph — you areall incredibly wonderful peoplewho have fantastic stories to tell.But how do you go about sharingthat story?

Start by bragging. That’s right— create a “brag sheet.” Writedown a resume, or a list of all thethings that you have done, placesyou have gone, things that areunique about you, the way youhave grown up, anything aboutyou. No one needs to see this list ifyou want to keep it private —make it just for yourself if youwant. Then, take a good look at it.

Do you see any themes? Do yousee any trends? What would a per-son who didn’t know you sayabout you from this list? Does thislist imply you are perfect? No!Maybe you want to write downsome of your biggest failures, too(since you survived them and thesky did not come crashing downaround you — maybe you’velearned something from them).

Next step, start by writingabout a general theme you see. Ifyou cannot see a theme, showyour list to an adult and ask themif they see a theme or a common-ality among some of the attribut-es. Then write, and write somemore. Summarize your experi-ences that are tied together bythat theme, and throw in somespecific memories or examples ofyour experiences. Start over witha new theme, and repeat thisprocess with three or four differ-ent ideas. Many colleges have“prompts” that get you thinkingabout how to approach your story— compare your brag sheet tothose questions. Ultimately, youcan create a “package” of essays(and none of them need be toolong) so that when you come

across a different kind of ques-tion on a separate application,you may already have the basisfor an essay among your “pack-age.” Get an adult, perhaps ateacher, to give you a second opin-ion. Maybe if you organized it dif-ferently, it would be stronger. Areyour descriptions clear? Are youtoo detailed or not detailedenough? This process of the col-lege essay is gut wrenching anddeeply satisfying at the sametime. It is a declaration of a truthabout you, told as a story — yourstory.

A note to parents who wouldlike to have some oversight of thisapplication element: Stay away.As much as you want to help, theyneed to do this thing on their own.Your “helpful suggestions” canseem like the harshest of criti-cisms. The temptation to controlthe direction or voice is so greatbecause so much is on the linewith the essay, but too often yourchildren will bend to your willand lose their identity in the writ-ing. They are frightened of notgetting it “right” and they want toplease you. Suggest other peoplewho can help them work out their

ideas and welcome the chance toshare the essay after they aredone — maybe even after theessay is sent. Of course, everyoneneeds an editor — there should bethorough “vetting” of outrightgrammar or spelling errors orwords used in the wrong context— but someone else can give thatadvice, especially if there is anychance that you might alter thestory that needs to be told. Theymay even tell a story you wouldrather they not recount, or theirperception of an event differs dra-matically from yours. The pointis, this is their writing, their storyto tell, and we as parents need tolet them tell it and stay out of itentirely.

Bottom line, seniors: The col-lege essay is the only piece of thecollege process that you still con-trol completely. By this time, yourclasses and grades are what theyare, your recommendations willbe what they will be (and you’llnever see them anyway), and yourSATs and ACTs are probablybehind you. So, here’s the lastthing that you can do that is inyour hands alone: Tell your story.

Consider planting the winsome cotoneasters In today’s Potting Shed column,

we will examine a sampler ofthe virtually ignored cotoneast-

ers. Many are easy and satisfyingin the garden, often as the under-pinning to larger plants. Thecotoneasters discussed below comefrom China and the Himalayas.None are weedy. All are handsome.I grow the following plants and canpersonally vouch for their merits.And if I can grow them at Quackin’Grass in Brooklyn, you are assuredthey are perfectly hardy for all ofus in northeastern Connecticut.

Cotoneaster horizontalis‘Variegatus,’ the variegated form ofRockspray Cotoneaster (pro-nounced cuh-toe-nee-AS-tuhr), isan all-season plant in full sun.Beautiful white-edged green foldedleaves, like a library full of minia-ture half-opened books, pick uppink tones in autumn. Small pinkbuds in spring open to tiny pink-tinged white flowers. These cute lit-tle flowers develop into berries thatturn bright red come autumn.When the foliage drops, you are leftwith these red fruits on a herring-bone branching pattern. Thisdeciduous ground cover with itsamazing array of gently archingbranches will grow up to 2 feet tall

but 5 to 7 feet across. I have alsoseen this plant used to great effecttrained up against the side of abuilding. Especially beautiful afterlight snowfall with delicate embroi-dery of snow clinging to the fineribbing of the branches, this is anextraordinary moment in the win-ter garden.

The Willowleaf Cotoneaster,Cotoneaster salicifolius ‘ScarletLeader,’ on the other hand, is a vir-tually evergreen cousin of C. hori-zontalis. The deep semi-glossygreen leaves of summer changebeautiful maroon-bronze in winter,retaining the fine sheen. The longarching branches stretch andreach, sometimes irregularly foran interesting organized chaos.Embedded among the leaves are

small striking bright red and per-sistent berries shaped like tears ortiny pears. This lovely cotoneasteris purportedly hardy to climaticzone 6 but has performed well onan exposed, westward-facing slopein my zone 5b garden. It appears tobe tougher than some mightbelieve. Though it is wonderful inspring and summer with its darkgreen leathery foliage, flowers anddeveloping fruit, it is just plainbeautiful during the autumn andwinter months.

Cotoneaster dammeri‘Mooncreeper’ is a mat-formingform of the Bearberry Cotoneaster.Branches follow the contours ofthe landscape only an inch or twodeep. The moderately glossy darkgreen leaves are alternate, simpleand virtually evergreen in thenorth, certainly more likely to beevergreen in climates furthersouth. The leaves, which do resem-ble our native Bearberry, may turndull green to even a purple-redwhen temperatures fall. It formstypical flowers, singly or in pairs,about one-third to one-half inch indiameter. The bright red globe-shaped berries in late summer arealways showy against the beautifulfoliage, even in sparsely producing

years. And whichever color theleaves become late season, depen-dent upon the always complex mixof seasonal weather and tempera-tures, the fruits are handsomeembedded among the foil of foliage.

Another terrific cotoneaster anda dwarf grower is C. microphyllusvariety thymifolius, sometimes list-ed as a cultivar, C. microphyllus‘Thymifolius.’ Small, profuse, darkgreen thyme-like leaves (as indicat-ed in the variety name, thymifolius)cover stiff branches. And thoughthe stems are rigid, the tiny ever-green leaves provide a delicate,airy look. When the temperaturesdescend, my plants tend to pick upa bronze-chocolate shade uponwhich small red berries glow.Michael Dirr states that this neatlittle shrub may grow as high as 3feet, but here at the near northernend of its range in my garden, ithas remained under 2 feet with aslightly wider spread.

All cotoneasters require plentyof sun in fertile well-drained soil.They are susceptible to fire blight;however, I believe this condition ismore prevalent in southern gar-dens. And, certainly if planted ingood conditions and watered dur-ing droughts, it is less of an issue.

Some cotoneasters become lessattractive as they grow older.Doesn’t that sound frightfullyfamiliar! But no matter: Unliketheir human counterparts, theycan be pruned back and revitalized.

Cotoneasters can enhance yourgardens in several ways. One ormore could form a lower tier, a stepdown from a group of tallershrubs. They can be used to greateffect as a larger-scale groundcover, one species alone or even incombination with others should acomplex tangle suit your fancy.They offer fine foliage, small butsweet flowers and fine red berrieswell into winter. Some are virtuallyevergreen and most develop veryfine autumn tones, forming a won-derful backdrop for the fruits.Cotoneasters are an old-fashioned,often ignored group of really fineshrubs, a genus that you might con-sider sampling. Place one of morein the sights of your gardendreams this winter.

“Quality is our mainthing,” says Haveles. “Overthe years, we’ve gone fromjust pizza and grinders andexploded with meals. We’vebrought more home-cookedmeals here in the last fiveyears. Fish and chips arebig.”

Keeping prices affordable,Classic Pizza’s lengthy list ofspecialty pizzas and a vari-ety of grinders have led topasta dinners, calzones, sal-ads, burgers off the grill,sandwiches, soups, seafooddinners, a children’s menu,full dinners such as theirNew York sirloin, and otherdaily specials, as well asmany meals that are knownby regulars only by word-of-mouth. Dessert also accom-panies their varied menu.

“We’re always expandingand listening to our cus-tomers,” said Haveles. “It’svery rewarding to createother menu items.”

He said chicken, such astheir southwest chickenwith potato skins, hasbecome a bigger item atClassic Pizza know.

“Everything here isfresh,” added Haveles. “Wehand-cut our fries. We’ll do20 to 25 pounds of potatoeshand-cut.”

At age 19, Havelesobtained his associate’s

degree in business manage-ment from Johnson andWales University inProvidence, R.I.

“When I come to work, Ilove it,” he said. “For a pizzahouse, you don’t see thiskind of quality.”

The restaurant seatsaround 95 patrons, addingthat they do not do deliveryat Classic Pizza.

“I enjoy seeing my cus-tomers,” said Haveles. “Myold-time customers are mybest critics. They respect thefood that you put out there.”

Haveles said his successcouldn’t be done without hisworking crew, of about 12employees, who have beenworking with him for aboutnine years.

“This is what they do for aliving,” he said. “My crew isimportant.”

For a first-timer to ClassicPizza, Haveles does recom-mend trying their patentedfish and chips or a pizza pie,but he actually offered uphis prime rib.

“We want you to enjoysomething different,” henoted. “Our prime rib issomething I’ve reallyworked on. We have a dinnerand a grinder version.”

On Friday, Sept. 25, ClassicPizza was filled with fami-lies and individuals comingto eat, enjoy each other’scompany and unwind after along week. The entrancedoor was in constant move-ment as patrons continuedarriving to pick up orders.With barely a bead of sweaton him, Haveles was in thekitchen keeping pace withhis crew and would fre-quently come out to greetwhoever was at the counter.

Joe and Debbie Guilmette,of Danielson, were sitting ina booth with their familygetting ready for anotherClassic Pizza meal.

“We’ve been coming herefor over 20 years,” said Joe.“The fish and chips are thebest. It’s what I order.”

What makes the ClassicPizza pie even more original,

said Haveles, is that theyhave had the same cheesesupplier from Wisconsin forthe last 30 years. Their pizzasauce and dough are madefresh every day.

“I’m loyal to my suppli-ers,” he said. “They work forme.”

Haveles said they also do athin crust pizza for thosewho want less cheese. Headded that his wife is push-ing him to create a gluten-free pizza.

On his desserts, Havelesrecommends their carrotcake, turtle cheesecake andbaklava.

“When Spiro took overPizza-Rama from his par-ents, he continued on withtheir family business,” saidGlinda Stavrou, ofBrooklyn, a loyal customer.“The reason he has such agood customer base is thatno matter who you are, heand his staff are friendly. Ithink that because he treatseveryone with the samekindness and respect, he

instills this in his staff andit just works for him. He isnot only a good person, he isgood to the people that workfor him. That means thatyou know everyone as a cus-tomer and they know you.”

Stavrou’s family has beengoing to Classic Pizza sinceHaveles’ parents owned it.

“He goes above what youwould expect and just does itwithout asking for anythingin return,” added Stavrou.“Brooklyn is a small town,but there isn’t a person inthis town or surroundingthat he wouldn’t help. Inreturn, he has the loyalty ofhis staff and customers,which he never takes forgranted but he surelydeserves.”

The October issue of chicBoston Magazine namesPutnam one of the 15 best smalltowns in New England. It isanother victory for the townthat has transformed itself froma decaying textile town into avibrant community.

What arethe roots ofP u t n a m ’ sr e v i t a l i z a -tion? Whilethere are eco-nomic, infra-structure andeven cata-strophic rea-sons, one ofthe most com-pelling is thec o n s i s t e n tdrive by key

residents to build a sense ofcommunity through lively activ-ities.

Ebullient Ron Coderre, presi-dent of the Putnam BusinessAssociation, is a congenialcheerleader for his hometown.He and members of the growingPBA have hatched up anotherway to involve Putnam resi-dents in a “unifying activity”and bring in a few thousandtourists in the bargain.

The Putnam BusinessAssociation is capitalizing onHalloween mania by presentingthe Great Pumpkin Festival Oct.24. Included in the festival is thefirst annual Scarecrow Contest.How something can be a firstannual anything has alwayspuzzled me, but ignoring thatlinguistic issue, the contestsounds like fun.

Scarecrows released fromduty as garden protectorsinspire their creators to imagi-native leaps. As Halloweenapproaches, front lawns sportscarecrows hanging from treesor slouched in lawn chairs. Nowthese stuffed representations ofseasonal celebration can beevaluated, reviewed and appre-ciated. Prizes, too!

Applications for the scare-crow contest can be obtainedfrom the Putnam BusinessAssociation at its Web sitewww.putnambusiness.org or atWINY Radio station or The ArcEmporium.

Coderre is joined in hisendeavors by other committedPutnamites. Gary and KarenOsbrey of WINY know how topromote and emote, making somany events more exciting andmore organized. Coderreasserts that he is “so pleasedwith the cooperation betweenthe Town of Putnam and thePBA. The town is easy to workwith — every branch, the execu-tive, public works, recreationand economic development.”

Perhaps one of the reasonsPutnam is enjoying success is afundamental sense of intercon-nectedness that helps people cutthrough the bureaucratic slug-gishness that plagues so manycommunities. While many ofthe movers and shakers arenatives, new people, especiallythe current crop of businessowners, are welcomed andincluded with alacrity.

A movement to call variousparts of town by descriptivenames will be evident duringthe Great Pumpkin Festival: OldTowne is the historic commer-cial center, where a train willbring 300 people greeted by oneof seven bands that will be scat-tered all over town and aPutnam town crier. From thecenter, visitors will be able totake one of two shuttles thatwill move them throughout thetown.

Main Street North will beclosed to host a Harvest Marketwith fall craft items and food.Main Street South will have anart gallery show and stroll;Rotary Park will offer entertain-ment on the charming band-stand and a craft fair; TheCommons area, where thelibrary and new shopping cen-ter is located, will feature activi-ties for children. Local realtorDick Loomis will oversee a fleamarket on the lawn at St. Mary’sChurch.

Coderre noted that localchurches will open their doorsfor tours, and one of the shuttleexcursions will focus on the hid-den treasures of Putnam. Fromstained glass windows to therugged brick and granite millstructures, the town has somesurprising attractions.

Nothing succeeds like successand nothing fails like failure,my father liked to say. AsPutnam fills with scarecrows,pumpkins, band music, streetmarkets and visitors, and as itadopts marketable names forvarious sections, the sweet tasteof success is as pleasant as asparkling glass of autumn cider.

To the Editor:

In his farewell address our first president, GeorgeWashington, warned about us becoming involved inforeign entanglements or alliances. Generally speak-ing, this sage advice was heeded until after World WarII with the United States only returning retaliatoryblows after being attacked.

Then came 1950 and Korea. Although this war wassupposedly a UN “police action,” the U.S. suppliedmost of the troops and spilled the most blood. To whatend? Korea remains a divided country. No peace treatyhas followed in the wake of the armistice signed atPanmun jom. Skirmishes continue along the border.

During the 1970s, we received a butt whipping inVietnam. Many of our young men fled to Canadarather than serve in an undeclared and unprovokedwar.

Then came the 1990s and this country arbitrarilyinvaded Iraq, ostensibly to liberate Kuwait. Our sec-ond invasion of Iraq, without U.N. approval, wasdesigned to depose Saddam Hussein and root outHussein’s weapons of mass destruction. The firstobjective was accomplished; the arms evidently neverexisted. But wasn’t the end. More than 4,000 Americanlives have been lost and thousands wounded trying tostabilize an Iraqi government and return peace to thenation. It hasn’t happened.

At this writing, President Obama is mulling over adecision of whether to send more troops toAfghanistan. To what avail? Our initial aims were tocapture Osama bin Laden, destroy terrorist trainingsites and establish a strong democracy. None of thesegoals has been reached. In fact, we cannot introduce ademocracy since we don’t have such a government

ourselves. Instead, we’re a representative republic.The land-locked country has a population of 22 mil-

lion who occupy 250,000 square miles. Literacy in thisMuslim country of 29 provinces is reportedly approx-imately 20 percent. Some of the most impenetrablemountain ranges in the world provide sanctuary andmobilization of terrorist groups. In December 1979,Russian armies invaded Afghanistan. Nine yearslater, following a loss of more than 15,000 soldiers, theRussians withdrew. Filling the newly created vacuumwere forces of the Taliban and trial chieftans. Thesewere allegedly defeated by American attacking unitssome years ago. But now the Taliban seems evenstronger, which is the reasons some military officialsand congressmen are calling for reinforcement. It’s acall for more blood-spending. To compound the crisis,a number of Afghan civilians have been killed by“friendly fire.” What a ghastly term for being slain byone’s own allies! Are “friendly” bombs and bullets lessdevastating or powerful?

Yes, Mr. Washington, I cannot tell a lie. WeAmericans are entangled as never before. Out mili-tary youth is stationed all over the globe. How muchlonger will Americans provide the blood necessary tobe the world’s policemen, a role that was meant to bethe destiny of the United Nations?

President Obama has scheduled our withdrawalfrom Iraq. Why can’t it be a life-saving double-headerby pulling out from Afghanistan? And what right dowe have to impose our choice of government uponother people? Isn’t this the principle over which ourown Revolutionary War was fought?

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Sanderson: U.S. shouldn’t be world’s police

To the Editor:

A lot of people seem to want to talk about social-ism these days. Unfortunately, most of them aren’t atall clear about exactly what they mean by “social-ism” and never bother to explain why we should beafraid of it.

Most people get the idea that socialism is about the“redistribution of wealth.” Actually, it is morebroadly about the redistribution of power — wealthbeing a form of power — but this idea is essentiallycorrect. What we need to realize, however, is that alleconomic systems, including capitalism, redistrib-ute wealth; socialism and representative democracyare highly compatible; and that capitalist systemscan work in harmony with socialist ideals. Thereare, in fact, countries in the world right now thathave varying blends of democracy, capitalism andsocialism. The United States is one of them.

Programs that have been called socialist includethe often-mentioned Social Security and Medicare,but could also include unemployment compensa-tion, public funding of education (including subsi-dized student loans and government grants), aid tofamilies with dependent children, food stamps and awhole range of income tax deductions. On a com-plete list of “socialist” programs in America, mostpeople would probably find a least a few that benefitthem and that they would not want to give up.

But it is useful to understand why redistributionof wealth is necessary and why the vast majority ofcitizens need not fear it.

Money in the economy tends to move upward fromthe bottom to the top of the economic ladder. This isbecause our economy depends heavily on consump-tion to keep it going. The people at the bottom (themiddle class, the laboring class, the working poor)are the consumer classes — those people who need tospend most or all of their income on consumption,rather than things like investment or savings. Theeconomy needs these people to keep buying things. Iftoo much money gets “stuck” at the top of the ladderand too little is redistributed to the consumer class-es, then the consumers run out of money and thesystem collapses. This is what has actually hap-pened. Currently, according to one economic report,the top 10 percent of the population earns roughlyone-third of all income, with the next 30 percentearning a third and the remaining third beingspread among the bottom 60 percent. This samereport estimated that the top 1 percent of the popu-lation now owns more than the combined wealth ofthe “bottom” 95 percent. Because the money is get-ting stuck at the top, the rest of us have less to spend,so the economy stops working.

Capitalism seeks to redistribute wealth throughjobs and wages, and in an ideal world, this would befine. Ownership and executive management wouldvoluntarily limit their own profits so that moremoney could go into creating jobs, and keepingwages high and prices low. Then the consumerscould continue to shop, the standard of living wouldbe higher all around and the economy could grow

steadily, without the bubbles and collapses that haveso often plagued it. But our culture values individualachievement, and excessive wealth is equated withsuccess, so the redistribution system doesn’t work.

One way we have tried to solve this is through tax-ation and government spending. This would be OK ifthe government spent most of its tax revenues ondirect assistance to consumers, but it doesn’t.Instead, the government becomes a consumer,spending most of its revenues on the cost of runningthe government, so the money heads back up the lad-der to the top, rather than helping consumers. Or thegovernment becomes an investor, providing directstimulus to businesses, which recycles it mostlyback into the hands of the wealthy.

The third way we try to redistribute wealth isthrough credit, but this is counterproductive,because when the consumer buys on credit, his buy-ing power is actually reduced. Since part of hisincome now has to be spent on interest on the debt,it isn’t available for consumption. When more andmore debt becomes necessary, consumers fall fur-ther and further behind in buying power.

Many people equate socialism with a “govern-ment takeover” of one thing or another. While someextreme forms of socialism do advocate that, social-democratic systems with capitalist economies relymore on active regulation of industry instead, par-ticularly in the areas of utilities and vital public ser-vices. The United States already does some of this,but socialists would argue that it doesn’t do nearlyenough, as evidenced by the growing disparitybetween the wealthy and the rest of us.

Democracy is a system of governance thatdescribes a means of distributing and redistributingpower. Capitalism is an economic system thatdescribes a fundamental system of ownership,investment, production and consumption. Socialismis a philosophy that describes a set of “ideal” rela-tionships between the political and economic sys-tems and the nation’s citizens, and that unless a soci-ety adequately meets the basic needs of its people,and works actively to prevent the tyranny of awealthy and powerful minority, then it will ultimate-ly fail both economically and morally. It argues that,even in a society that values individualism and com-petition, there is an overriding responsibility to thecommunity, and it is government’s duty to see thatthe responsibility is met.

So what’s to fear? For the vast majority ofAmericans (the 90 percent who earn only one-thirdof the income), the socialists aren’t coming afteryour wallet. You are the people they want to redis-tribute the wealth to. And genuine socialism isn’tgoing to happen with a Congress that relies so heav-ily on compromise to get anything done, and with apresident who, by any reasonable definition of theterms, is too much of a centrist to launch a socialistrevolution.

DAVID S. HOPCROFTWOODSTOCK

A townTransformed

What’s a littlepillow talk

amongroomies?

OK, so let’s get this straight.. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .Enough students at Tufts University

apparently complained to the powers that bethat the college is now banning sexual inter-ludes with a co-ed when his or her roommate is

in the room? You mean, someone actually

complained about this? Alright, so it’s no laughing

matter. I suppose it can get alittle uncomfortable whenyou’re curled up in your tinybunk with your copy of“Psych 101” and your room-mate starts “ooing” and“ahhing” and moaning andgroaning.

So here’s a question: Whendid Tufts remove doors fromtheir dorms and replace themwith walls? In other words,did any of the offended everthink to just get up and wan-

der down to the study or common room? And, just how well do these roommates get

along if one of them just starts getting it onwith her boyfriend with her roommate just feetaway?

It says here this is one issue that should havebeen left where it belongs: in the dorms,between the roommates.

Now, I understand there are young men andwomen who may have chosen not to be sexuallyactive, or who maybe simply can’t score a date.But if you’ve gotten to the point where yourroommate is getting naked and having sex withyou right there, I’d say you have bigger prob-lems than the act itself.

We shouldn’t let the offending parties off thehook, either. I mean, OK, maybe you’re the pub-lic sex type. Maybe you like the thrill of tryingto keep quiet, or maybe you intentionally aren’tquiet because you want to be risky.

But really, it’s probably something that couldeasily be resolved.

Three of us during my one year at SkidmoreCollege in Saratoga Springs shared a room. Oneroommate never had a girlfriend, so that wasn’ta problem. The other usually did. You knowwhat he’d say when she was coming over?

“I’m going to get [use your imagination here]so find somewhere else to be tonight.”

Blunt. Straight forward. To the point.I can recall only two times when I was, ahem,

going to enjoy an intimate experience in myroom. The first time I was three sheets to thewind and wouldn’t have noticed if the entireUniversity of Nebraska marching band wasthere. Even if I did, it probably wouldn’t havebothered me so long as they were playing a vic-tory march.

The second time, I convinced my roommatesto take up residence elsewhere that night,although if memory serves me right, one ofthem ended up coming back, anyway.

I don’t recall anyone ever filing a complaintwith the school that a roommate was having sexwith them in the room. In fact, a rather unsci-entific poll here in the newsroom revealed that,while roommate sex was quite prevalent, nonehad ever complained to the college. One col-league did say she’d prefer colleges have a poli-cy in place, like Tufts.

A male friend relayed his own experiences,which sometimes involved throwing a shoe athis roommate, whose partner apparently waswhat my friend called a “panter.”

Again, use your imagination.Not surprisingly, the women in our news-

room proved more sensitive to the Tufts situa-tion, saying they often found themselves dis-turbed and made awkward by a roommate’s sex-ual dalliances.

But they also said they took up the issue withtheir roommates. Maybe it would be an uncom-fortable conversation, yeah, but it’s one to behad.

A college-wide policy banning sex in thedorm when your roommate is present?Attempts to make it a quality of life issue arespecious. What it really amounts to is an issueof communication. Colleges certainly can helpfacilitate dialogue, but at some point you’re anadult.

All parties involved need to act like it.

To the Editor:

Not too long ago, many Americans expressed theirenvy of Canada’s nationalized health care system anddesire for a similar American program, but now thatit’s finally becoming a reality, people are abandoningthe cause.

Critics say that universal health care would be tooexpensive to implement. Many people don’t realizethat policy holders are already paying to cover theuninsured in the form of higher premiums. In orderto compensate for the lost revenue from caring foruninsured patients, hospitals charge insuranceproviders more. These providers then pay for theincrease by raising premium costs. As a result of this,families pay about $1,100 extra in premiums per year,according to one study. Whether one is for or againstuniversal health care, every insured American is pay-ing to cover the uninsured indirectly.

Most uninsured patients do not receive preventa-tive care from doctors. So when they do get treatment,it’s when their illness is so advanced that they mustreceive expensive, specialized care from hospitals. Byswitching to a universal health care system, thesepeople would get the preventative treatment theyneed, as well as save the country the money theywould be spending on more expensive care for theseindividuals from the hospital.

Most of the negative propaganda associated withhealth care reform is sponsored by greedy insurancecompanies that know the new system will cut theirprofits. It’s time for America to stand up againstmoney-hungry insurance companies and take care ofits people.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

To the Editor:

Normally I wouldn’t waste my timeanswering diatribe, but Mr. Borgman askedme to reply to my “What freedoms are beinglost?” letter. He mentions that the two mostliberal networks, CNN and MSNBC, reportedon the ACORN scandal. What he purposelyleaves out is the fact they were forced intoreporting it after Congress suspended fund-ing for ACORN and it became a nationalscandal. He also mentions the talk radio “nutjobs” (his remark) and FOX News as irrele-vant, but they have a larger audience thanboth CNN and MSNBC put together. Thiswould indicate, to me, that people are lookingfor the truth about what’s happening to ourcountry — not living in the folly of a liberalcave.

Mr. Borgman also needs to get some factscorrect. Congress went democratic in 2006under the false supposition of “change,” andsince then, the country has been in a steadydecline. We will change this in 2010 and 2012to save our country from this Marxist-Socialist autarchy president. With his 30-plusappointed Czars, isn’t it comforting that theyare being exposed by these “nut jobs” fortheir dangerous ideologies and conduct?How many have resigned for unethical con-duct?

Today was an exceptional day for America,as the president, with his wife and TV show

personality Oprah, were sent home fromCopenhagen empty-handed. The IOC sawthrough the ruse of the egotistical character-istics of this demagogue. And in all right-eousness, what was the real purpose of thetrip? Was it really about the USA? And whatabout the taxpayers’ cost of the two presiden-tial planes in the time of a national reces-sion, world insecurity and our troops’ safety?

Nine months of Obama incompetence andwhat is right? Nothing! Unemployment high-est in 25 years; nationalization of banks,insurance and auto companies; a nationaldebt at insurmountable levels; foreign policya disaster; loss of our allies’ trust andrespect; condemnation of America at hisevery opportunity, a total loss of morality inour country’s institutional principals andsubversion of our U.S. Constitution.

Mr. Borgman may live in a world of fanta-sy, but the rest of us are living in a world ofreality, and what we are being subjected to bythis administration and president is unprece-dented in our history. I am fighting for mychildren and grandchildren’s future.Freedom, liberty and justice under a free rep-resentative government will prevail, Mr.Borgman. May I suggest he read Liberty &Tyranny by Mark Levin. May God blessAmerica!

Yost: Nothing is right since Obama took office

To the Editor:

On Friday the 2nd of October, between thehours of noon and 3 p.m., a coward enteredmy home at Quaddick Road in Thompson andremoved his ill-gotten gains. This gutlesswonder stole a small box of memorabiliafrom a top dresser drawer.

In this small box was a pocket watch mygrandfather had purchased from the 1939Worlds Fair. Upon opening the back, youcould see the fair displayed. Attached was afob chain, which men would use to hold thewatch in the small fob pocket on their pants.

Silver dollars from 1888, which my dad pur-chased and I have given to many family chil-dren on their birthdays as mementos, werealso stolen.

A coin proof set of JFK in a plastic case

and a 1983 coin proof set from Switzerlandwas also taken.

Included in the case were many familymemories, cuff links made by my father, afirst tooth, etc.

All of these items are of small value to any-one. Reuniting with these treasures would beof great interest to me. A greater rewardwould be provided to someone else whowould assist in the retrieval.

If you have any knowledge of this incidentor know anything suspicious related to thisincident, please contact me at (860) 928-0786. Iam offering a $1,000 reward for the return ofmy belongings and conviction of the thief.

To get vaccinated or not, that is the question.Your answer, if you’ve done even a little

research, is simple.But first, let’s follow the money. Who profits

when the uninformed let those who are just“following orders” stick poison in their bodies?

April 2005, Barack Obama introduced a billcalled “the Avian Act.” According to reports,Obama made significant investments inbiotech companies involved in the developmentof bird and swine flu — companies that weresome of Obama’s biggest political donors.

And now, he is president, and we have a level6 swine flu pandemic.

If you can put 2+2 together, you can figureout where this leads.

And on it goes. Money in their pockets, poi-son in your bodies.

Why? Can you say “health care”?I have an idea. Why not let all the biggest

Obama supporters be the first in line to gettheir shots. What say you?

RAY LAMIRANDDANIELSON

Lamirand: Vaccination is money in their pockets

To the Editor:

This letter is “an answer” to Mr. Borgman’svoicing of his exasperation with the Tea PartyPatriots movement and why we chose thename of our forefathers’ taxation-without-rep-resentation movement. Did he notice that can-didate Obama chanted stolen slogans fromAbraham Lincoln in order to impress voters?Same concept, different scenario. Simply said,we believe we are no longer being representedappropriately by our elected politicians.

Besides that argument, we are resentful ofthe implication that Tea Party Patriots aresimplistic in our fact-finding by wholly listen-ing to “right-wing nut jobs.” One can findnumerous video clips on the Internet (whichcannot be construed as falsehoods) of thispresident and his cabinet members makingpublic statements that are so nutty it is exas-perating to us. Many of these cockamamieviews are coming to fruition in legislation thatis being pushed through the House and Senatewithout Americans’ knowledge of the details.By the way, these bills can be located on theInternet, too. People should decide for them-selves if they want this kind of “change” intheir future and that of their grandchildren.Decide for themselves if they want to pay thetaxes that are going to come down on us withthem. The socialistic “change” looks ugly tome without Rush or Glenn telling me how tolook at it.

Mr. Borgman was right — we still have ourfreedoms, but the question is: “For how long?”Many Democrats that I have spoken withalready feel the “changes” that are coming atbreakneck speed are not what they thoughtthey were getting. Many more people haveadmitted that they would like to voice their

opinion, but they are fearful of what theirneighbors, customers or relatives will think ofthem. That feeling was pretty much planted byPelosi and Company with their name callingand wide eyes. That is the beginning of a lossof our freedom of speech — whether onewants to face that or not.

As you have guessed, I did not vote forPresident Obama. It wasn’t because he is bira-cial or because he is a Democrat. It wasbecause his “spread the wealth” philosophysteals from the taxpaying worker and squelch-es entrepreneurism, which established thisnation. I am not bitter about “my guy” not win-ning — how elementary that would be. Ourgoal is to make sure we never go without goodchoices in the future.

Ask yourself this question: Why, with all theletters and phone calls we make to the localrepresentatives, are they not replying person-ally or facing us in public forums? They sneakin and out of our area like snakes and sendblah-blah-blah form letters to no one. Thosedelinquencies, Mr. Borgman, show a seriouslack of “representation.”

Hopefully, now that some people are nolonger laughing, we can get down to the job ofbringing our government back to the people.We intend on finding good viable candidatesfor future elections by networking and dis-cussing the issues. Consider attending a peace-ful Tea Party Patriots rally and listen to thefacts presented there before condemning us.We’ll do the research for you — you bring thesign.

This is to all of those who use the term“that’s soccer” when someone gets hurt. Thereferees do a good job but need to set the paceright away by using the cards to keep the gamein check. That will tell the players to play theball, not take the man out in order to gain con-trol.

The parents also need to zip it, unless beingsupportive, like saying, “nice job” or “welldone” — not “good hit.” That just sends thewrong message and sadly seems to be accept-

able by athletic directors, parents and players.Let’s fix it before more students get hurt for

no reason. If you would like to argue or com-ment, my e-mail is patches2001@ charter.net. Iwould love to talk to anyone who wants to havea level-headed conversation to come up withideas on how to get it under control for the stu-dents’ sake.

Alexander: ‘That’s soccer’ doesn’t keep game in check

To the Editor:

I have been assured that Pomfret’sRepublican Party supports major businessdevelopment in our commercially zoned busi-ness districts and not in our current residen-tially zoned districts. First Selectman JimRivers, as an ex-officio officer of the P & ZCommission, and Maureen Nicholson, as anelected member of the commission, stronglyinfluenced our P & Z Commission to pushthrough a zoning text change that allowsmajor multi-equipment and heavy vehiclebusinesses to be established in our residentialneighborhoods. If residents are concernedabout Pomfret’s future and the continued

integrity of their neighborhoods, I urge themnot to vote for Jim Rivers as first selectmanand Maureen Nicholson as selectman on Nov.3. Their track records are well documented.

Vote for Pomfret’s future, which is yourfuture and that of your family. Vote forRepublican candidates Peter Mann for firstselectman and Tony Amilio as selectman.This is a very important election — make nomistake about it. Get the facts and make yourvote count. The future of Pomfret may welldepend on you!

Menard: Living in a historical time of change To the Editor:

This is in response to the letter of Mr.Borgman from “one of the others like him,”that is, Mr. Yost.

I do not know how persons, even those com-mitted to the moralizing of statist and socialistpolicies, can pretend that the current realityisn’t real.

We are living in a historical moment ofchange unseen since FDR, and projecting thecurrent trends in government, we will far sur-pass the growth of government, federal spend-ing and regulations of the 1930’s statist swing.

We now live in America where a sitting pres-ident is supporting legislation that rations andpunishes “excessive” energy use (cap andtrade), borrowed billions against young andunborn Americans (the federal stimulus), hastaken substantial control of the bankingindustry, (the federal bailout), fired (!)(?) theCEO of a major automobile manufacturer (onwhat constitutional or executive authority?Please fill me in.), created an official WhiteHouse Web site to report dissenters of his poli-cies (WhiteHouseflagg.gov, although it hassince been shut down) and has been trying topush through, without debate, a nationaliza-tion of medicine that only a minority ofAmericans support, and Mr. Borgman is con-fused about what freedoms are being lost?

I am glad that Mr. Borgman lives in such anout-of-touch place that he can “laugh” at thenotions of the Americans who are vocally con-cerned about the obvious direction toward sta-

tism, collectivism, unprecedented deficitspending and the corresponding loss of free-dom for this and future generations. I am sad-dened, though, that he cannot, like most left-ists, barely get through a paragraph withoutanti-intellectual derogatory like “teabaggers,”“hate-filled nonsense,” “right wing nut jobs”and, of course, the overt racial implicationalways used by the left to silence opponents ofthis president, i.e. Mr. Borgman’s alleged“intense hatred” of this president due to his“difference.”

As far Mr. Borgman’s other argument goes,that the current “Tea Party” protests have norelation to the Boston Tea Party of 1773, thefact that voters are technically representeddoes not alter the fact that this administrationand Congress are trying to steamroll a govern-ment takeover of medicine for which by everyrespectable poll shows the opposition clearlyin the majority. This is why the Democratslearned by the end of the summer to stage thescantily clad, handpicked, staged debates likethe recent Courtney sham in Woodstock.

So yes, technically Mr. Borgman is right —we just had an election and Americans are get-ting representation in their government. Butwith representation that legislates and actswithout constitutional authority, and againstthe will of the people, who needs a British shiploaded with East India Tea?

GARY MENARDWOODSTOCK

McCoy: All government levels must work togetherTo the Editor:

On Nov. 3, Woodstock voters will have fourchoices for two full-term seats on the Board ofFinance. I am pleased to announce that I am oneof those choices and will be running for re-elec-tion as the Republican candidate.

In the two years since my election in 2007, Ihave adhered to the principles set forth in theRepublican Town Committee platform, fore-most of which is the principle of being fair andimpartial when considering matters that comebefore the BOF, and to respond to the needs ofboth the town and the school district, while atthe same time exercising diligence to ensurethat the cost of running the town and theschools does not create an unfair burden to thetaxpayer. I believe this was also the intent of theframers of Prop. 46.

In the two years that I have been on the Boardof Finance, I have been approached by all of thespecial interest groups in town. I have beenasked more than once to:

1. Take a hard line against the school districtbudget because it is “anti-Academy.”

2. Take a hard line against the Academybecause it is robbing the school district of funds.

3. Take a hard line against the school districtbecause it wants to cut spending for fire protec-tion.

4. Take a hard line against the fire departmentbecause it wants to take money away fromschool bus purchases for “unnecessary fireapparatus.”

Much to the frustration of each group, I havevoted according to my principles and con-science. In my opinion, it is ludicrous to evenconsider any of the above as options! I’m sorry,folks, but I want our children educated — frompreschool through 12th grade. I want to makesure that our school buses are safe and properlymaintained and that we continue to provide busservice run by our own school district, employ-ing local residents. Recently, my son, who hascerebral palsy, was late getting out the door andmissed his bus. When the driver saw him as hedrove past our home, he radioed another driverwho picked him up and took him to Woodstock

Academy. I have a feeling that we wouldn’t seethat level of commitment from an out-of-townbus service.

I also want to be sure that when I call 911 forfire or medical assistance, they arrive on timeand with equipment that will save my lifeand/or my property. I live next to the WFPA onRoute 169, and about a year or so ago, I watchedone of the engines break down while respond-ing to an emergency. They had to pull it back tothe station with a tow cable. Much to the creditof our dedicated volunteer firefighters, theytore that engine down and rebuilt it in the backparking lot of the fire station. By the end of theweek, the engine was back in service. As a for-mer volunteer firefighter in California, I canguarantee that some of our fire equipment inWoodstock, had it belonged to my departmentback home, would have been surveyed andretired a long time ago. We are truly fortunate tohave such a dedicated force of professionals inour community.

Finally, I expect our town roads, bridges andbuildings to be maintained, and in wintermonths, to keep the roads plowed to ensure thesafety of the motoring public.

I don’t think that it is in the best interests ofthe citizens of Woodstock to cancel any of theseservices that I have mentioned above, in favor ofone over another. I believe that we can provideessential services and quality education for ourchildren if all levels of government worktogether. Above all, I believe that this can bedone without creating an unfair tax burden onour citizens, in keeping with the letter and thespirit of Prop. 46. If you feel the same way that Ido, I would welcome your vote and the opportu-nity to continue to serve Nov. 3.

BY BENJAMIN R. KIPPSPORTS CORRESPONDENT

KILLINGLY — It was one bigplay after another for the KillinglyRedmen in their 26-7 win over thevisiting Griswold WolverinesFriday, Oct. 2.

Actually, it was one big play forRedmen running back AnthoneyTetreault, who tallied 205 totalyards while scoring all four touch-downs to lead the Redmen to theirfirst win on the season.

“I thought we played a goodgame,” said head Redmen coachChad Neal. “We played good fourquarters both offensively anddefensively.”

The Redmen’s offensive runningattack started early. Tetreault andcompany opened the game by dri-ving the ball 57 yards in nine plays,before he scored the game’s firsttouchdown with just over four min-utes to play in the opening quarter,giving the Redmen the early 6-0

lead. That was just the beginningof Tetreault’s offensive outburst.

Tetreault added his secondtouchdown in the second quarterwith an impressive run. Heappeared to be stopped on a fourthdown by several Griswold defend-ers, but spun out of the, to the tuneof a 22-yard touchdown strike andthe 13-0 lead that they took intohalftime.

“Anytime we needed a big play he(Tetreault) stepped up,” said Neal.

“He responded again when weneeded a big score.”

Griswold came out in the secondhalf to attempt to make a state-ment. After leaving their bread-and-butter double-wing offense inthe dust they ended up almost inthe opposite formation: the spreadoffense. The Wolverines needed ascore and early in the fourth quar-ter they got on the board.

Quarterback Jordan Robillardled his team on a 13-play, 84-yarddrive capped by a touchdown catchby split end Tony Velesquez to cutinto the lead after the extra point,14-7.

“They threw a lot of short passesat us and we just were tired on thatdrive,” said Neal.

Still in the fourth quarter,Killingly killed any chance for acomeback. Tetreault took the gamein his own hands (legs, actually),scoring on a 73-yard touchdownrun just about sealed both team’sfates, with the Redmen leading 20-7.

Tetreault added his last score

late in the fourth quarter. Redmendefender Anthony Fradette inter-cepted a Robillard pass andreturned it to the Wolverine 16-yard line. It didn’t take long, threeplays later to be exact, for Tetreaultto find the end zone for the 20-7 leadand again crush any hopes theWolverines had of winning thegame.

“Our offensive line opened upsome big holes for us all game long,they really came together as agroup, we typically overload on theright side and Griswold counteredthat, so we ran to the left,” saidNeal.

Defensively, the Redmen were ledby linebacker Colin Beloin anddefensive ends Dan Jones andsophomore Randy Greene.Combined, they had 25-30 tackles,while Beloin added two sacks.Jones had two sacks and an inter-ception.

“In our system our linebackersand ends play a key role in contain-ing the offense,” said Neal.

Redmen’s first win a big one over Griswold

Labor and Pensions, responsible for complet-ing what has been the longest mark-up in thehistory of the Senate. For five weeks, thecommittee reviewed and amended theAffordable Health Care Choices Act.

“I brag about you all the time, generallyspeaking,” Dodd told the Day Kimball group,saying he’s been impressed by how regionalinstitutions are lowering costs while boost-ing quality. “You are doing what everyoneacross the country says they want.”

John Miller, chairman of the board atDKH, said he was excited to share the hospi-tal’s story with the senator.

“We all hope today’s meeting is the begin-ning of a long-term health care conversationwith you,” he told Dodd.

DKH serves 13 towns in northeastConnecticut, an area covering 450 squaremiles and a population of 91,600.

“I like to think we can have you leave withthe sense that something is different here innortheast Connecticut,” DKH President andCEO Robert Smanik added. “As small as weare, we really are a laboratory of ideas.”

In recent years, DKH has partnered witharea physician practices, building a networkof seven offices ultimately set to becomefully integrated with the hospital. Only one-third of DKH’s services actually take placeinside the hospital.

“We really have changed with the times,”Smanik said.

One of the partnering physicians, Dr.Charles Wreschner, said he’s convinced “atthis point, the only thing that can help thiscountry is government intervention.”

Wreschner expressed concern, though,that nearly half of his time is spent wadingthrough insurance regulations.

Fellow family practitioner Dr. Rania Baikagreed.

“We could use our time so much more effi-ciently,” she said. “Just let me do my job.”

Others noted the absence of tort reform incurrent health care proposals, citing the highcost of malpractice insurance as a deterrent

for those who may have otherwise enteredthe profession.

Wreschner, too, noted how few — an esti-mated 17 each year — medical students areentering family medicine in Connecticut.There are just 419 family physicians through-out the state.

Dodd called primary care physicians a crit-ical piece of the health care reform proposal,citing his own experience with prostate can-cer as an illustration of just how helpful it isto have help “navigating the waters.”

After facing a rejection by his own insur-ance company of medication his doctorordered, Dodd said he experienced firsthandthe bureaucratic hassles of the current sys-tem.

“No one should have to go through that bat-

tle,” he said.Dodd invited those gathered to continue

communicating with his office as health carereform pushes forward.

“This is not going to be easy,” Dodd said. “Ifit was easy, we would have done it a long timeago.”

This week, the Finance Committee isexpected to pass a separate proposal. Aftercombining it with the bill passed by Dodd’scommittee, leaders will present legislation tothe full Senate for a vote.

Allen added that the town applied lastApril for the grant. The funds will be used topurchase a camera, a camcorder, a computerand a printer. He said the cameras will beused primarily in fire investigations. Theremaining equipment will be used toenhance the investigation-side of a fire, or inpreparation for a fire inspection.

Among them, 31-year-oldKim Gregoire quietly sad-dled her Arabian, Nizzetta.

The Danielson womanjoined the ride last year,shortly after her aunt passedaway from breast cancer thatultimately developed intobone and brain cancer.

“I’m riding in her memo-ry,” she said.

Though Gregoire expectedto encounter people she usu-ally meets in the competitionring, the only thing she feltSunday morning was a senseof camaraderie.

“The horse communityreally is like a big family,”she said.

And so, too, is the commu-nity of those fighting cancer.

“Three thousandConnecticut women are diag-nosed with breast cancerevery year,” KomenConnecticut’s ExecutiveDirector Anne Morris said.One in eight women, nation-wide, are diagnosed withbreast cancer.

“We’re riding to make surethat no more of our daugh-ters, mothers, sisters andfriends have to hear thosedreaded words,” Morris said.

Seventy-five percent ofKomen Connecticut fundsremain in the state and areinvested in local treatment,outreach and education ini-tiatives. The remaining 25percent is directed to nation-al research. With nearly $1billion invested to date,Komen is the world’s singlelargest source of nonprofitfunds dedicated to curingbreast cancer.

Though riders were askedto raise just $250 to partici-pate, several area womenbrought thousands to thetable. Diane LeDuc, ofSterling, raised $2,825, earn-ing her the Platinum Ridertitle — a term for the partici-pant who raised the most bythe Sept. 19 cut-off date.Others kept raising funds upto morning of the ride, foursurpassing the $2,000 mark

and one even reaching $4,500.“One thing about this com-

munity, it’s very giving,”Jakowski said. “I have toreally thank them all forbeing as giving as they are.”

In fact, supporters seem tocome out of nowhere.

The bride of a weddingheld at Tyrone Farm over theweekend heard about theride and, instead of provid-ing party favors, told guestsshe’d be making a donationto Komen in honor of hersoon-to-be sister-in-law, whobattled breast cancer.

“It touches so many peo-ple,” Jakowski said of thecause. “I start getting allteary. … You meet these peo-ple and you just want to givethem a big hug.”

As for Wentworth and herbeloved, but aging Copar, thetwo will continue to ride aslong as they can.

“He was looking kind offuzzy this year … but we

were both there together,”she said. “I couldn’t imaginegoing without him.”

Local ride sponsors includ-ed United Natural Foods Inc.,Wal-Mart, Citizens NationalBank, Putnam Bank andFrito-Lay Co. Door prizes,rider gifts and other contri-butions were made byVineyard Valley Golf Club,Bella’s, The Vanilla Bean,Hazelwood, Martha’sHerbary, GraphicsUnlimited, Hart’sGreenhouse and Florist,Sprucedale Florist, SharpeHill Winery, LapsleyOrchard, Country SpringsInc., Central Coffee Co.,Celebrations Gallery andShops, Crabtree and Evelyn,Valentine’s and the PomfretSchool women’s field hockeyteam.

BROOKLYN — St. John LutheranChurch on Route 6 celebrated PeaceDay Sunday, Sept. 20, with the planti-ng of a Peace Pole made of cedar andcreated by Dan Porter, a member ofthe congregation.

The Rev. Lisa Anderson had the ideafor planting a peace pole at St. Johnwhen she learned about the PeacePole Project, which began more than50 years ago in Japan.

Peace poles can be created out ofvarious materials and include thewords “May Peace Prevail on Earth”in various languages. In the past 50years, more than 200,000 peace poleshave been erected all over the globe inevery continent. The Peace Pole at St.John was planted at the end of wor-ship and is engraved in English,Finnish, German and Spanish.

The Discipleship Youth Group(youth in grades three through six)also made Peace Rocks, which were ondisplay surrounding the pole. Theyouth were also actively involved inthe dedication singing “May PeacePrevail on Earth” and leading prayersfor peace in geographical regionsaround the globe. In addition, theyouth met on Saturday to learn aboutwhat peace means and how they canwork for peace in their own lives — bycooperating and working togetherinstead of fighting. Youth designedtheir peace rocks and played peacegames as well as prepared for the ded-ication service on Sunday.

Longtime congregation memberCatherine Nurmi said, “The worldwould be a kinder and gentler place ifwe could all learn to live in peace andharmony rather than conflict andwar.”

Afierce debaterages con-cerning glob-

al warming. Is it reallyhappening? Doesmankind impact theglobal temperature?Should we spend tril-lions of dollars in anattempt to lower theearth’s temperatureby a fraction of adegree? The scientificcommunity is divided. Politicians seem to have ulteriormotives as they make their case. There is little consensus.But one thing almost all scientists and politicians do agreeon is this: There have been, in years gone by, periods ofglobal cooling. Almost no one disagrees that at one point agreat deal of the Earth was under ice. Some even believein multiple ice ages.

In April of this year, yet another bit of ice age evidencewas uncovered in Siberia. A perfectly formed baby woolymammoth was found preserved in ice. Like adult mam-moths that have been previously discovered, this mam-moth still had food in his stomach. These discoveries haveintrigued and baffled scientists for several reasons:

1. There are estimated to be millions of mammothremains in that area, yet there are none today.

2. Siberia’s climate is not suited to mammoths.Therefore, that portion of the world must have been muchwarmer when these mammoths were alive.

3. In order for some of these animals to have been so per-fectly preserved, they would have had to been frozenquickly — there would have had to have been sudden glob-al cooling.

This mystery can be very easily explained. This evi-dence, along with a great deal of other physical evidence,points to the fact that at some point in history, the Earthexperienced a catastrophic worldwide flood — the samekind of flood as is described in Genesis 6-8. The scientificmodel I am referring to shows how the earth may have atone time been surrounded by a water canopy that causedits atmosphere to be much like that of a terrarium. Suchan atmosphere would have allowed for humans to live

longer, for dinosaurs to have lived well, and for hugeamounts of vegetation to have been produced and laterburied and converted into coal and oil. The theoryexplains how the water canopy could have collapsed,causing a flood and a drastic change in global tempera-ture, especially at the poles. Thus, animals that lived inwarm climates were suddenly trapped in ice blocks nearthe arctic circle.

The truth is (although it is politically incorrect for ourschoolteachers to say so) a worldwide flood explainsmany world mysteries, such as:

• mammoths in the Arctic;• the sudden disappearance of dinosaurs;

• human and dinosaur footprints side by side;• petrified forests;• sea fossils nearly everywhere in the world, including

mountain ranges;• manmade items in coal deposits;• layers of sediment and fossils exposed in the walls of

the Grand Canyon;• historical records of mankind living to very old ages;• worldwide flood stories from people groups all over the

world;• and why ancient civilizations began near Mt Ararat.One article could not begin to explain or explore all the

above, but an honest researcher will discover that thereare mountains of physical evidence that corroborate thestory told in scripture about a worldwide deluge. It’srefreshing science built on hard evidence. You may haveheard it called Creation Science. If you are interested, thefollowing two Web sites are a great place to start yourexpedition: www.icr.org and www.answersingenesis.org.

It’s really quite amazing to find out that evidence of theflood is everywhere. In other words, good scientists areuncovering irrefutable evidence that the stories recordedin the Bible are not myths; rather, they are actual events.Incredible, huh? The Bible contains the best explanationfor fully preserved mammoths in Siberia. But, then again,it only makes sense that God would have the real scoop.

Bishop John W Hanson is the pastor of Acts II Ministriesin Thompson. Inspirations Bookstore and library (open fol-lowing services) has several great videos and books on cre-ation.
