With hardships along the way, as so many ofus have in our life, it really feels good topersevere and grab onto life and live it to thefullest. Live life, Love life, Prosper, WorkHard, Play Hard, and thank God for all theblessings in my life, no matter how big or small.

Ever wondered what those blue barrels
were for at the Otis Transfer Station next
to the cardboard compactor? They are
the designated DepositReturnable
Soda/Beer Can & Bottle drop off point.
Just taking a few extra seconds to drop
them into the blue barrels, instead of into
the trash compactor or recycling bin, helps fund the Otis
Community. Volunteers from the AMVETS, FRRSD PTO,and the Otis Cultural Council dedicate their time to sort and
process these returnables. Each of these organizations are
non-profit and all proceeds go directly back into the
community. Every nickel counts!
AMVETS 2013 LOBSTER ROLL: 20 Apr 13 from
6:00pm 9:00pm at the Knox Trail Inn. Come on down for
some fun and chances to win succulent lobster, cash, and
other prizes. Raffle Tickets also on sale now! Contact Tom
Soules at 269-6014.
MILITARY FACTOID: The Boeing B-52 Stratofortress is
a long-range strategic bomber
designed to deliver both
conventional and nuclear
munitions. The B-52 took its
maiden flight in April 1952. The
B-52 just marked its 61th
anniversary and will continue to
serve into the 2040s. . . that will
be over 90 years old!

"Miley's Cat Chat"by Linda Bardsley, East Otis, MA
"Well, here it is April already. I am so ready for spring. Even though I havebeen cooped up all winter, I have managed to have some fun and get into alittle trouble. My cat friends (Big Head, White Boy, and Tiger) have been coming around quite a
bit. Mom put that bowl outside the bedroom window and I can sit up on top of a chest and watcheverything....then I head to the basement where I can even talk to my friends through the window.
Most of the time they just keep munching, but every now and then they will "check me out". I think Big Head likesme the best...Mom stopped filling the bowl at night though; because twice now there has been a HUGH possum outthere. He does not run away when we make noise or bang on the window either. This is not what we had in mindwhen we wanted to bring some amusement into my ho-hum winter life. The folks also put a feeder out for the birds(think I told you that last month) and they have been coming around regularly...life is good. Pops has been preparing
me for the car rides to Otis (coming soon, I hope) He hasbeen carrying me out and walking around the yard. Thecoolest thing is when he takes me with him, in the morning,to start his car. At first it was a little scary, but I totally trustthe dude...he always makes sure that I can still see theback door. I am kinda paranoid if he goes too far away
from it. (I know I sound a lot braver than I truly am) TheEaster Bunny came to visit us at the end of March....or so Iwas told..never saw the critter. As long as he stayed out ofmy food dishes, I am fine with it. Well, think I will go knocksome things off the dresser and get Mom going....thatalways seems to get her attention! So, til next month...behappy, stay safe and always spoil your pets. They deserveit. Meow"

Town of Otis Selectboard Meeting Minutes 3-12-13Respectfully Submitted, Lisa DOrazio, Selectmens Secretary
Meeting called to order at 7:08 pm in the TownHall conference room. Chairman Sarnacki statedthe meeting was being recorded.
Present: Select Board Chair RobertaSarnacki, Selectman Don Hawley, SelectmanBrian Crandall, Chris Morris, Michael Ernst, JimCrandall, Lenny Terranova, Jeanne Randorf,Mark Johnson, Hal Kobrin, Walter Engels, JonSakata
Approval of Minutes: Brian made the motionto accept the minutes as amended for theFebruary 25, 2013 All Boards meeting minutes aswell as the amendments to the February 26, 2013WWTP/Select Board Meeting, Don seconded,and the motion passed unanimously. The All
Boards minutes were changed to reference theBike Rodeo, and the Cultural Council section ofthe Select Board meeting minutes were alsochanged to reference the correct 4H group.
Transfer Station Recycling Trailer: TheAmVets, the PTO, and the Cultural Councilpresented a proposal for handling the sorting,
finances, and distribution of the recycling duties.Brian moved to accept their proposal, Donseconded, and the proposal was unanimously
accepted.Cemetery Sexton: Lenny represented the
Cemetery Commission and stated he felt theSexton should be responsible for selling the plots,laying out the plots for burial, and place thecornerstones, as well as track who is buriedwhere and who has purchased what. Lenny alsofelt that Maintenance should just be responsiblefor the upkeep and the Sexton should handleeverything else. Lenny also suggested theSexton be paid hourly as there are only five or sixburials a year in town on average. The Select
Board was thinking maybe a flat stipend and thencollect a fee for each burial. Currently, theamount charged to open a grave goes to thetown. The board asked Chris to check withsurrounding towns to see how they pay theirsextons so we have something to base this on.

Norma Agnes Perry Funk93, long time Winsted resident, passed away at the
Charlotte Hungerford Hospital in Torrington, CT on March3, 2013 with a room overflowing with family telling her howmuch they loved her.
Born on July 6, 1919 in Worcester, MA, to Melvina E.(Houghton) and Napoleon J. Perry, she attended MA
schools, graduating top of her class, going on to place firstwithin state competition for her secretarial skills, and laterbecoming one of the first women in the state to teach at abusiness college. Norma loved dancing and special outingswith her many siblings, and was a loving daughter whocherished and cared for her mother throughout her years.
On January 1, 1942, she became the wife of James P.Funk, at which time she moved to Winsted, CT. When herhusband left to serve overseas in the Navy Seabees during WWII, Norma held a full timejob to sustain their home, and also volunteered on the 'Rationing Board' to support thehome front war effort. From the goodness of her heart, she personally hand delivered'Western Union Telegrams' to families receiving news of a loved one who was Missing,Wounded, or Killed in Action.
When Jim returned home, they worked together as the local 'Ice Man', delivering ice tohomes and businesses throughout the area. They also served together as the local DogWarden and assistant for many years. In the 1950s, they began the Winsted CenterlessCompany and continued to own, and operate it until Jim's retirement. Norma also workedas the manager for Sears & Roebuck Co. for many years, helping so many and makingmany friends.
Although they returned to New Boston and Otis, MA often for dances and specialtimes with family and friends, anyone that knew the Funks have cherish memories ofboating, swimming, barbecuing, water skiing, music, friendship, and fun from gettogethers over the years held at their Highland Lake home. They enjoyed clambakes withthe Elks, square dancing, time at the IORM (Red Men's Club), and VFW events andactivities.
They were a fun loving couple, but were also very community and civic minded,
serving their town and its people in many ways. They worked strenuously after the 1955flood with the Winsted Fire Department to restore their town, local businesses, anddamaged homes. Norma was a life member of the VFW Post 296 Ladies Auxiliary, fillingmany officer positions over the years. She was a member of the Connecticut Blue StarMothers, serving troops, military, and veterans and also the BSMoA Big Dipper Auxiliary,which provides educational scholarships to military and veteran families. An amazingperson who brought joy to everybody, Norma was a much respected member of theWinsted United Methodist Church from the time she first moved to Winsted.
Norma has loved and missed dearly since 1993, her husband of 51 years, Jim. Shewas also predeceased in death by her parents, five sisters, three brothers, and a great-grandson.
Norma is survived by her daughter, Rev. Lin McGee and her daughter's husband Rev.David McGee of Winsted. She is also survived by three sisters, eleven grandchildren andfive step-grandchildren, thirty-eight great-grandchildren, ten great-great grandchildren,
many nieces and nephews, a multitude of special friends, and her beloved dogs, Melonyand Alexis. Norma was looking forward to the birth of another great-grandchild and twomore great-great-grandchildren. She very much loved her former caretaker and'daughter', Krystyna Kijewska.
Interment will take place in the Hillside Cemetery, 297 East Canaan Road, EastCanaan, CT on Memorial Day weekend, Saturday May 25, 2013 at 11:00 am. We arerest assured that Norma now rests in the arms of Jesus and has been reunited with herloved ones who passed before her.
