NDDHpreparesfor theworst

BY MATT SANDERSONVILLAGER STAFF WRITER

BROOKLYN — Asking its areatowns for additional funding inresponse to Gov. M. Jodi Rell’s pro-posed state budget cuts to deal withConnecticut’s ailing deficit, a testa-ment to the nationally troubledeconomy, was the subject of a bud-get-related public hearing lastnight, Feb. 26, at the NortheastDistrict Department of Healthoffices. The nonprofit organizationcontinues striving to maintain itscurrent level of service on dealingwith all public health issues in its12-area towns in Windham County,without cutting staff.

The NDDH Board of Directorsunanimously recommendedapproval of the $812,483 fiscal yearbudget for 2010 at its meeting heldThursday, Feb. 5, in an effort toaddress current economic condi-tions and fiscal responsibility. Thedecrease being proposed in nextyear’s budget is $61,633, or 7.1 per-cent.

However, because Connecticut isin such dire financial straits, withRell proposing regionalization ofpublic health services, the 2010budget is asking for an 8-centincrease, or 2.2 percent, from towncontributions.

Rell has proposed significantcuts in state funding toConnecticut’s local health districtsand departments. Currently, theseproposed cuts amount to $2.5 mil-lion in the 2010 fiscal year and $2.7in the 2011 fiscal year. In the pre-sent 2009 fiscal year, local healthdistricts and departments arereceiving $5.3 million.

PUTNAM — Chronicling thearcheological dig that took place atCady Copp Homestead has been inprogress for quite some time, andcopies of a pamphlet summarizingthe extensive work around theperimeter of the property will beavailable for the public in the nearfuture, says Town AdministratorDoug Cutler.

As part of a grant from theQuinebaug-Shetucket HeritageCorridor, the town hired an archeo-logical team a few years ago to con-duct two archeological digs aroundthe perimeter of the historical cot-tage located on Route 21, LibertyHighway in Putnam Heights.

Cutler said that because of theextensive amount of artifacts thatwere uncovered around the property,Putnam sought an archeologicalpreservation designation from thestate.

“There are only about 20 in the

state,” said Cutler. “It’s quite presti-gious.”

Cutler added that the StateArcheological Preserve logged threebooks in great detail about the digand the artifacts that were found.

“They had to go with a shorterbrochure, talking about the historyof the cottage, the artifacts that werefound, and the history of the town ofPutnam in relation to the people liv-ing in Putnam at the time in that cot-tage,” said Cutler.

The town did not have enoughmoney to print enough copies of the35-page draft document, but the pub-lic will be able to obtain copies soononce the archeological firm that allo-cated the money for publication ofthe document follows up with thetown.

Fred Hedenberg, president of theAspinock Historical Society ofPutnam and a selectmen, said thereis probably an available copy for pub-lic viewing at their society’s buildingat 206 School St., which is in the red

building near the athletic field.“We got a lot of material out of

there,” he said about the digs. “Yearsago they didn’t have waste manage-ment, so they just threw things in theback yard.”

Hedenberg said they found manymetallic items, shoe buttons, oldschoolhouse slates, nails, potteryshards and other artifacts that stoodthe test of time buried in the proper-ty of Cady Copp Homestead.

“You’ve got to go back to the mid-1700s,” added Hedenberg. “The rea-son it survived is because the proper-ty has never been overused.”

Hedenberg is delighted that thereis a vested interest in furthering thepreservation and integrity of the cot-tage.

The historical society can bereached at 928-0092.

If you’ve ever walked or pic-nicked in areas where CanadaGeese congregate, you’ve proba-

bly noticed the need to dodge drop-pings. Canada Geese are a fecal fac-tory. Scientists have actually takenmeasurements and found geese goto the bathroom about once every 20minutes (Kotrschal et al 1998).Thus, a well fed Canada Goose canproduce up to 1.5 pounds of feces aday. Since a flock can number hun-dreds to tens of thousands of geese,that is a load of goose poop.

Adult geese prefer to land in openfarm fields or near water, wherethere are clear sight lines. Thisenables them to spot predatorsmore easily. They nest on theground, typically near bodies ofwater. Therefore, Canada Geesedroppings can pollute the water.Research confirms that large flocksof geese can significantly con-tribute to degrading water quality.

Some Canada Geese migrate tothe Artic region each year to breed.Others have stopped migrating. Byreplacing our native forest withlawns, golf courses and farm fields,especially adjacent to lakes andponds, we have created opportuni-ties for these non-migrant popula-tions to become established. Insteadof an occasional visitor, a subset ofCanada Geese can become year-round residents. Eliminating natur-al predators has allowed goose num-bers to increase.

There are several reasons whynon-migratory geese can be consid-ered a nuisance:

• Large amounts of goose fecesalongside or in lakes add nutrientslike nitrogen and phosphorus thatencourage algae and weed growth.In the Quiet Corner, Woodstock’sRoseland Lake has been classifiedas eutrophic, indicating that nutri-ents are there in abundance. Geeseare believed to be contributing tothis problem.

• Canada Geese graze and feed ongrasses and grains. (Canada Geese

should never be fed bread or otherhuman food — more on that nextweek.) A large flock of feedinggeese can do significant damage tolawns and recreation fields. Theirdroppings are acidic and can burnthe grass. They can also be a prob-lem on farms fields when theydevour seedlings and graze on fallcover crops that were planted toprevent soil erosion.

• They sometimes congregate infields, runways and wetlands sur-rounding airports. Although bird-airplane strikes are rare, they canbe extremely dangerous. A big birdlike a Canada Goose can fell a plane,especially if it gets sucked into theengine.

• Goose feces are a potentialsource of human disease. The drop-pings can contain bacteria and par-asites, some of which are not easilycontrolled using standard watersupply chlorination practices. Someof these organisms can cause diar-rhea and can potentially become aserious health hazard, especially inpeople with weakened immune sys-tems.

The Eastern ConnecticutConservation District (ECCD) iscurrently investigating potentialcauses of water quality impair-ments in the Little River/MuddyBrook watershed in Woodstock andPutnam. Several stream sections inthis watershed, along withRoseland Lake, are not meetingwater quality standards set by theConnecticut Department ofEnvironmental Protection. Thereare several ways you can help withthis project:

1. If you have photos of CanadaGeese with goslings, or large flocksof Canada Geese in Woodstock inthe Muddy Brook/LittleRiver/Roseland Park watershed,please label and date and send themto Pat Young at ECCD, 238 WestTown St., Norwich, CT 06360, or bye-mail [email protected].

2. If you own property whereCanada Geese are known to nest,consider allowing trained volun-teers on your land to rub corn oil onthe eggs (called addling). The oiledeggs will not develop, but adultgeese will continue to incubate theeggs. This prevents their numbersfrom increasing. This process isconsidered a humane way to con-trol geese by the Humane Society ofthe United States.

3. Volunteer to be trained to assistwith the pilot egg addling project.Free egg addling training forvolunteers will take place at 10a.m. Saturday, March 14, at theMuddy Brook Fire House onRoute 197 in East Woodstock.You do not need to be a Woodstockresident to participate in this train-ing. Registration is required. Callthe ECCD at (860) 887-4163, ext. 400.

Part 2 of this series will featureother best management practices toprevent resident geese from becom-ing a nuisance in your area.

WOODSTOCK — Drama students at HydeSchool will perform “Seven Brides for SevenBrothers” Friday, Feb. 27, and Saturday, Feb.28, at 7:30 pm.

The story takes place on a farm in theWestern frontier. When Adam, the eldest sonof a family of seven brothers farming landon the Western frontier, decides he wants toget married, his wife Millie gets more thanshe bargained for. Adam’s six brothers, jeal-ous of married life, steal themselves sixwomen from town, resulting in a series ofmishaps and shenanigans in the mountaincabin.

The show is free (although donations willbe accepted and refreshments sold), and isopen to the public on both evenings.

Fair days ahead for Brooklyn

BROOKLYN — On Jan. 8, the WindhamCounty Agricultural Society Board ofDirectors, under the direction of new ChairPenny Francis, approved a budget for the2009 fair season.

This year’s Brooklyn Fair will be heldAug. 27 through Aug. 30, marking its 160thyear at the Brooklyn Fairgrounds on scenicRoute 169. The 2009 budget features anincrease in the entertainment budget, whichwill provide fair-goers with top names inNashville entertainment — as they havecome to expect — plus much more.

In addition, a possible new venture calledFairground Village was discussed. Thiswould be an interactive addition to theBrooklyn Fair’s Play Land area, and wouldfeature child-sized buildings representing“every town.” Fairground Village will pro-vide young children with imaginative playand creativity through role-playing.Buildings considered were a grocery store,pizza parlor, firehouse, police station and thelike.

For this project, the Board of Directorsseeks area businesses to sponsor the indi-vidual role-playing units. For example, apizza shop could sponsor the pizza parlorand have it modeled after its business.Anyone interested may contact Pam Roy atthe Brooklyn Fair at (860) 779-0012 for moreinformation.

Another decision at this meeting was theselection of Gil Maiato to head the Fair 200Committee, which will plan the celebrationssurrounding the 200th anniversary of theWindham Country Agricultural Society,founded in 1809. This committee willannounce plans shortly on new andunprecedented events to be held at the 2009Brooklyn Fair.

Finally, Francis announced that theBrooklyn Ag Days will return for a secondyear after a very successful first run. The2009 dates for this family-oriented celebra-tion of past and present agriculture will beJune 6 and 7.

PUTNAM — When SisterNorma Bourdon was 3 yearsold and growing up inPittsfield, Mass., she attendedkindergarten at a school runby the Daughters of the HolySpirit, after her mother hadbeen asked by the pastor towork in the kitchen. As fatewould have it, Sister Bourdonnow works for the very sameorganization, spending manyyears in the education fieldherself and recently acceptinga mission as the DHS provin-cial here in Putnam.

Sister Bourdon arrived atthe Holy Spirit ProvincialHouse at 72 Church St. in June,after working for many yearsin Alabama, and celebratedthe 50th anniversary of herprofession, known as a“jubilee.” Since then, she hasbeen settling into her newposition — and, she said, “it’smy first winter in 25 years.”

After high school, SisterBourdon entered theDaughters of the Holy Spirit— a 300-year-old internationalRoman Catholic religious con-gregation of women that wasfounded in 1706 in a small townin Brittany, France — attend-ing the Diocesan SistersCollege and later receiving hermaster’s in education fromBoston College. She thenworked as a teacher, mostly atprimary schools, inConnecticut, Massachusetts,New York state, Rhode Islandand Alabama.

“I have taught all the gradesone way or another. And col-lege, in the summertime, whenI had nothing to do,” she said.

Her two assignments inAlabama are the ones thatSister Bourdon speaks mostpassionately about. She spent11 years in Anniston as ateacher and principal at theAll Saints School, and then 24years in Selma at the St.Edmund Learning Center.

In Anniston, Sister Bourdonwas assigned to a four-roomschoolhouse that had double-sized classes, with about 40 stu-dents in each. “We thought,‘Something is wrong with thispicture,’” she recalled.

Although it took a numberof years, she and the staffwere “successful in ungrad-ing” the small school, she said.“Instead of calling the class-rooms grades one, two, three,we had levels. Basically, we’dtake a child from kindergartenand start working with him. …There was a lot of individual-ization, small group work.There was no stigma to this.”

They also established astudy center, which, she said,“was an open classroom in thebetter sense of an open class-room.”

After that assignment,Sister Bourdon found herselfin Selma, at the St. EdmundLearning Center, which wasrun by the Society of St.Edmund. For the better part of25 years, she worked in theblack community to help pro-vide extracurricular pro-grams for those who couldn’t

afford such activities, estab-lish a GED center and run asummer program to keep kidsoff the streets. One summer,she said, they put 1,500 mileson a school bus taking the chil-dren on field trips. She alsohelped train parents to be ableto advocate for their childrenat school.

“We were blessed theSociety of St. Edmund hadaccess to photo labs. We wereable to do photography withthe kids, computer skills …just give them access to whatwas common to what we con-sider middle class. This gavethem access to that and keptup their skills,” SisterBourdon said.

But, she added, “When youwork with teenagers in thatsetting, you work with manyproblems,” and one of themost challenging aspects ofthe job was keeping the stu-dents interested in their edu-cation, instead of quittingschool and getting a jobinstead because “they neededmoney now.”

From the challenge, howev-er, came the success stories —“the kids who stuck with theireducation and now have goodjobs, whether they’re doctorsor lawyers or secretaries ornurses, or just have a job andare off welfare,” she said.

While in Selma, SisterBourdon also worked on acampaign to get the communi-ty’s first black mayor, JamesPerkins, elected. “You’d walkand you’d walk and you’d walkin 100-plus-degree heat,” sheremembered of the campaigncanvassing.

Sister Bourdon left Selmawhen she received her newassignment, to serve as provin-cial for the Daughters of theHoly Spirit. “This is the firstyear since I was 3,” she said,“that my life hasn’t revolvedaround education. I tell you, itwas a shock.”

As provincial, she helpsguide other members of theDaughters of the Holy Spiritin what it means to be a sisterin today’s world. She alsoarranges counseling, work-shops, conferences and in-ser-vices for the sisters. In April,she will attend a congregationof the provincials and viceprovincials from theDaughters of the Holy Spirit’sfive different units worldwideto discuss various issues, “sowe all have a unified focuswithin our diversity,” she said.

“One of the big things we’reworking on right now is non-acceptance of discriminationof any sort,” she said. “… Howdo we work with that and howdo we say we are all equal chil-

dren of God?”Although she misses her

work in education “when Ihave time to think about it,which isn’t too often,” she isenjoying her new position atthe Provincial House. “It’sbeen really rewarding with thesisters,” she said. “They’re

really a dedicated group. Theretired sisters who are in thehouse are a pleasure.”

QUIET CORNER CHRONICLESSISTER NORMA BOURDON


In hard times, BenFranklin allegedly said,the best things to haveare an old dog, an old

wife and ready money. After atrip out of the country to visit

friends andcatch a littlesunshine, myhusband andI returned toa heavy dietof bad newsand a whiffof spring-time. Theskating rinkthat had oncebeen our dri-veway hasmelted, and

the forsythia I forced in avase of water has bust intobloom. Mother Nature moveson regardless of the econom-ic climate.

Old dogs are certainly in favorif one considers Stump, thisyear’s winner at theWestminster Kennel Club dogshow. Stump won over a caste ofmuch younger dogs, provingonce again that age does notobviate beauty, at least in thecanine world. Franklin wouldhave approved of celebratingthis old dog, which overcamegreat obstacles to achieve fameand fortune.

On the Caribbean island wevisited, dogs and animals in gen-eral are treated so badly that fewsurvive to old age. If a culture isranked on how well it deals withits most defenseless creatures,these island nations must raterather poorly.

The dogs that survive are allquite similar, reverting to gener-ic canine: a medium-size poochwith sharp ears, a pointed nose,curled tail and short coat. Ourfriends adopted an abandonedpuppy three years ago. It was aterrifying little cur, snappingand growling at everyone. Now itis the happiest housedog onecould ever know. Dogs adjust towhatever conditions they findthemselves in and we will aswell.

Old wives or old husbands arepresumably less demandingthan young ones in Franklin’striumvirate of the best things tohave in hard times. With theover-80 set as the fastest growingage cohort in America, we can beassured of an ample supply ofaged spouses and Wal-Martgreeters.

As people plan to work longerthan anticipated, we may haveoctogenarians teaching school,driving trucks and dispensingmedical care. What will happento the generations who thoughtthey might rise through theranks to positions of leadership?They are the ones for whom cur-rent and projected conditionssting the most. They thoughttheir futures would be as good orbetter than their parents. It looksas if they may be disappointed.

Ready money has either disap-peared or people are putting itunder the mattress. Belt-tighten-ing leads to more tightening aswe stop or limit our buying.Women apparently are buyingmore lipstick and fewer clothes.No one is buying cars, and shop-pers at fancy stores are puttingtheir purchases in plain paperbags.

Perhaps once we stop payingfor heating oil, there will be a lit-tle uptick in sales. As springcomes, garden supplies ought toblossom. With the announce-ment of another big drugstore-pharmacy coming to Putnam,we will be assured of a largerthan ever selection of lipstick forall the old wives to buy. The oldhusbands can be content cruis-ing the aisles at Ocean State JobLot, where the selection changesoften and the prices make ran-dom purchases irresistible.

The local people we met on ourvacation complained about theeconomy in the Caribbean. Inthe next breath, they universallypraised America for electingBarack Obama. The hope theyexpressed for his leadership wasstunning.

Had Ben Franklin been withus, he might have added anotheritem to his list of the best thingsto have in hard times. I think hemight have suggested that hopetrumps old dogs, old wives andeven cash.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

To the Editor:

The political leaders in Brooklyn were elected todo the work needed to take care of the town’s busi-ness. Now it seems they don’t know how to do theirjobs. They want to hire a town administrator to dothe work they were elected to do. They are not evenable to decide what a town administrator’s job shouldbe, so they went out and hired a consultant to helpwith a job description for a town administrator. Theconsultant is probably costing the town $200 or moreper hour. If you don’t know how to do the job youwere elected to do, resign and let someone whoknows how to do the job.

We need to cut back on the salaries we alreadyhave in Brooklyn, not add another high salary to thebudget. All the salaries in the Brooklyn budgetshould be cut 50 percent after the first $40,000. Thatshould then become the maximum for that position.Then all salaries more than $40,000 should be frozen

for the foreseeable future. It is time to put and end tothe greed of the public employee unions. I ask thepeople of Brooklyn not to pass any budget this yearthat is not lower than the previous budget.

I hope everyone who voted for the Barack Obamais paying attention to everything he has done sincebeing sworn in as president. He has done just theopposite of everything he said he would do. He ranon a government of transparency, honesty andchange. As it has turned out, none of these thingscounted if you are a liberal Democrat. Their discre-tions were just honest mistakes or they didn’t under-stand they were breaking the law. Four tax cheats,two lobbyists, one who argued before the SupremeCourt to have pornography on the Internet inlibraries, and several more questionable people. Therest are retreads from the Clinton years. This ischange? May God help us all.

There is no right way to do the wrong thing. I havereached the height of frustration. Maybe it is time tooverthrow the government at all levels by peacefulmeans. What leads me to this conclusion is we arebeing taxed without representation.

I was stupid by spending $10,000 making my housemore energy efficient in 2008. The feds had an energycredit for 2007, and how dumb of me to think it justmight be extended. Most of you over 40 know whathappens when you assume. They did away with thecredit in 2008 and are putting it back in 2009 andbeyond. I guess my purchase wasn’t enough in thesetough economic times to earn a credit. Our brilliantpoliticians want to give me a $400 tax break that isless than what extending the energy credit is worthto me. I told them to keep mine. I am serious. Ialready offered it back.

Here comes the taxation without representationpart. I wrote Courtney, Obama, Dodd and Liebermanand not one of them had the courtesy to answer myquestion, which was: What is the logic for not extend-ing the energy tax credit? Dodd was the chair of theBanking Committee when Wall Street was putting usin the mess we are in. It happened under his watchand nose, and he went on the talk shows defendingthe bailout to cover his screw-ups. Lieberman wascampaigning for McCain instead of being inConnecticut listening to us. I called Courtney’sNorwich office, and no one has gotten back to me. Hedid send me a boilerplate e-mail bragging what hehas done since his re-election.

Answer me this. Why do we in 2009 still need 100senators? Go to 50 and how much would we save?Why don’t we double the amount of people each con-gressperson represents because they do what theywant to anyway and cut the cost of the House ofRepresentatives in half? Those two changes alonewould save untold amounts of money, not countingthat graft that sticks it to us every day. Our governorruns these so-called public service messages that are

nothing more than free campaign ads. How tacky isthat? The Connecticut Legislature has more rules onraffles and bazaars than the dangerous outside woodburning stoves. In business school while getting mymaster’s degree, the main lesson they taught us isthat every job has a limit on what it is worth. That iswhy we have lost so many jobs to overseas.

For some reason, this concept hasn’t trickled downto the town of Thompson regarding overpaying formany positions. Are the people determining thesalaries of town employees qualified? What othertowns pay is not a criteria for setting salaries. Inthese tough economic times, shouldn’t all salaries bereviewed? I myself took a 25 percent pay cut once tohelp a company stay afloat.

Pay cuts should be considered. If those peopledon’t like it, no one is forcing them to stay. There aremany qualified unemployed people out there toreplace any malcontents. The honeymoon, nepotism,favoritism and the good ole boy/girl network regard-ing who holds positions and sets the pay levels muststop. The combined salaries of elected and appointedofficials are ridiculously higher than professionaltown managers that do all those jobs combined andare trained in government management in college.We pay for some positions that are volunteer posi-tions in other towns. The School Committee has tolook at all positions, salaries, benefits and contractsin an underperforming school system. Before mytaxes are raised any more at any level of govern-ment, then every government employee should takea pay cut first. If my taxes are raised, I am taking apay cut in my ability to stimulate the economy.

Here is how we overthrow the government. Nextlocal, state or federal elections, don’t vote for incum-bents — they are the reason for the mess we are in.Voters, please wake up and stop this madness beforewe become a wholly own subsidiary of China orenter another war.

Drunk driversays lesson

learned

He may have since been released, but aweek ago last Wednesday, MarkProvencal was laid up at UMass

Medical Center in Worcester, Mass.Whether his time there is enough to open

his eyes as to how lucky he really is — andthe rest of us are, at that — remains to be

seen.Provencal was on his way

home from workWednesday, Feb. 11. He did-n’t go straight to his NorthWoodstock home onEnglish NeighborhoodRoad, though. He stoppedoff first for a drink.

“Some people like anafter-work smoke,”Provencal said in a tele-phone interview, presum-ably from his hospitalroom. “Me, I like to have adrink.”

Apparently, so.According to the police

log that recorded his subsequent accidentthat night, this was his fifth OUI charge.Provencal vigorously disputes that, though,instead blaming the cops.

“That’s a bunch of [expletive deleted],” hesaid of the number of OUI charges listed inthe log. “I don’t know where [the police offi-cer] came up with that.

“Somebody doesn’t like me at the policedepartment.”

Provencal mentioned a few officers byname, saying he’s familiar with some ofthem from the past.

“I used to drink at Sonny’s a lot,” he said ofthe one-time popular watering hole for manya local. Sonny, by the way, has since passedaway.

At tops, Provencal said, he has beennabbed only three times for OUI. The last, hesaid, was 15 years ago.

“My wife and I are trying to figure it out,”he said of what he claims is erroneous infor-mation. “I’m going to say it’s been threetimes.”

He pointed out he had also “beaten a few”raps in court.

Back to that Wednesday night.Around 7:40 p.m., police responded to an

accident on Lebanon Hill, which is howProvencal would have traveled on his wayhome. Although he wasn’t arrested, he wassummonsed to court on charges of operatinga motor vehicle under the influence of liquor(fifth offense), operating a motor vehiclewith a suspended license (subsequentoffense), not possessing a license and failingto wear a seat belt.

He was injured in the accident and takenby ambulance to the hospital. Provencal saidhe broke his wrist and his right arm andfractured six ribs.

“I had a couple beers,” Provencal conced-ed. “I wasn’t drunk. I wasn’t arrested.”

He also took issue with the charge that hedidn’t have a license.

“That’s new to me,” he said. “I mean, it wasright in my truck.”

Provencal seemed more upset that the inci-dent found its way into the local paper’spolice logs.

“Last June, I was on Lebanon Hill around 4a.m.,” he said. “I was on my way to Vermontfor work. A deer ran out in front of me. WhenI avoided it, I hit a telephone pole. I was[taken by Life Flight] to the hospital.

“If they put it in the paper this time, whydidn’t they put that in?”

For the record, Provencal maintains hewasn’t drinking at the time of that accident.

“I don’t drink and drive,” he said. “I don’tdrive drunk.”

His record, he was told, suggests other-wise.

“I mean, I don’t have a beer in the car withme when I’m driving,” he clarified.

But, he was asked, you do get behind thewheel after drinking, right?

“But I’m not drunk,” he replied.It was suggested to Provencal that while he

claims to have fewer OUI busts than listed,even three would be too much.

“Oh, yeah,” he agreed. “Definitely, it’s toomuch for somebody to get.”

Well, then, he was asked, should he even beallowed to have a license or drive a car?

“Well, yeah,” he said. “Listen, the firsttime was 38 years ago. The second was 22

Brooklyn needs to cut back salaries

To the Editor:

Ms. Aubin’s recent letter stating that Wal-Mart isnot Mr. Bruno’s business is alarming. As far as Iknow, free speech is still allowed in the U.S.A. Sheis obviously an intelligent wordsmith, but cannothold a candle to Mr. Bruno when it comes to inter-preting Planning & Zoning laws. He spent most ofhis working career in this field and is absolutelycorrect when he states that Wal-Mart has con-formed to all state and local laws and that theacceptance of its application should be a foregoneconclusion.

Ms. Aubin paints a picture of Armageddon com-ing to Brooklyn. Nothing could be further from thetruth. Wal-Mart will bring an ultra modern, wellmaintained facility, making shopping there apleasant and money-saving experience. It will bethe most beautiful commercial building in theRoute 6 “commercial” district of Brooklyn.

Ms. Aubin indirectly insults the thousands ofcitizens who shop at Wal-Mart stores throughoutthe country each day when she speaks of aislesfilled with alluring cheap, exotic crap from China.People buy these products because they can’tafford to shop at Nordstrom’s, Nieman-Marcus,Tiffany’s or other similar stores that I am sure theaffluent Ms. Aubin prefers. I’ll bet the “Made inChina” label even appears on some of the itemsthey sell. If she doesn’t like Wal-Mart, no one isgoing to force her to shop there.

Her letter is filled with overblown doom-and-gloom propaganda. I have been living in Brooklynfor 47 years, and the inevitable event that Wal-Martwill be locating here is not going to cause me to putmy house up for sale. Most people in town will besaying, “Welcome Wal-Mart.”

Brooklyn needs a fiscal impact study. Thereis so much misinformation out there about taxrevenue. A fiscal impact study will provideimportant information to both sides of theWal-Mart issue. Who wouldn’t want to knowthe truth? Town officials are banking onpromised tax revenue — it behooves all of us inBrooklyn to find out what Brooklyn stands togain or lose by this development.

Barnstable, Mass., wanted to understand thefiscal impact of development on its town. A fis-cal impact study was done by an independentfirm: Tischler & Associates Inc., Fiscal,Economic and Planning Consultant. The studyconcluded: The specialty retail generates thebest fiscal results at $326/1,000 square feetannually. The next best annual results are gen-erated by business parks at $112/1,000 squarefeet. Offices generate a positive $66/1,000square feet annually. Hotels generate the small-est annual surplus at $35/room. The shoppingcenter generates the lowest annual deficit of

(negative) -$314/1,000 square feet. The big-boxretail generates an annual deficit of (negative)-$486/1,000 square feet. The worst nonresiden-tial fiscal results are generated by the restau-rant and fast food restaurant with annual netdeficits of (negative) $1,100 and (negative) -$5,168/square feet, respectively. The restaurantand fast food restaurant, despite having highaverage assessed values, have the highest vehi-cle trip generation rates and equivalentdwelling unit factors/1,000 square feet, result-ing in significantly higher road maintenanceand public safety costs.

On the promised job front, I'm not convincedthere will be new jobs in Brooklyn when thePutnam store closes. Some people, includingWal-Mart, will say the Putnam store isn’t clos-ing — that’s just a rumor. But in Brooklyn,we’ve been down the “rumor” road once before,and the rumor was, as you all know, true. “Foolus once, shame on you. Fool us twice, shame onus.”

SOUND OFFS

Drunk driver says lesson learned

Ihappened upon an interviewgiven by Howard Davidowitz,a retail consultant, who

expressed his opinion that ourstandard of living has been “per-manently altered.” This certain-ly should come as no surprise.As job losses mount and govern-ment programs prove as yet inef-fectual, the enormity of the situ-ation grows clearer. The question,of course, would be: Is this a badthing, or will we emerge astronger nation?

Although it will mean some dif-ficult times, I believe in manyways it will point us back in theright direction. The last threedecades have been ones of exorbi-tant spending and self-gratifica-tion, which gave birth to the so-called “me generation.” Toexplain the whys would takemuch longer than the space theVillager so graciously providesme, but we’ve seen this reflectedin just how much we’ve changed.The media glorifies those who liveexcessively on TV and in movies.Commercials call on us to super-size. Bigger is better. McMansionshave sprouted up wherever apostage stamp of desirable prop-erty exists. In fact, our homes are45 percent larger than they werejust 30 years ago. Our cars bal-looned as the SUV took over theroad. This translates into the

average fueleconomy drop-ping from itspeak of 22 mpgin 1987 to aprojected 20.8mpg this year.Even the vol-ume of ourmeals has

exploded. On average, fast-foodportions for burgers, fries and softdrinks are two to five times largerthan the originals. By variousaccounts, some restaurant por-tions have increased 200 percentto 800 percent since the 1970s.

Americans represent just 5 per-cent of the world’s population, bututilize 23 percent to 30 percent ofits energy and resources. Theaverage U.S. person now con-sumes twice as much as they did50 years ago. We create 30 percentof the world’s waste. Each personin the United States makes 4 1/2pounds of garbage a day. That istwice what we each made 30 yearsago.

We need to go back to our rootsand “live smaller.” Smaller carsmean less pollution, less wear andtear on our roads, and fewerresources used in manufacturingthe vehicles. The same can be saidof our houses. Smaller not only isless costly monetarily, it is lesscostly to the environment by

using less oil and electricity.Smaller meals translate intosmaller Americans, which in turnequals less cost to our health caresystem and longer and more pro-ductive lives.

But there will be still biggerpills to swallow. Government enti-tlement programs need to bescaled back. Retirement at age 65is really an artificial constructstemming from the (last?) GreatDepression. Very few people livedto this age. As our lifespansextend (and our private retire-ment accounts shrink) we willhave to work longer. SocialSecurity benefits should beexpected to shrink or more logi-cally the age of retirementpushed back at least 10 years to 75.

The other great entitlement pro-gram, Medicare, cannot keep pay-ing for everything for everyone.We must recognize that a timewill come when keeping peoplealive simply for the sake of notdying must be replaced by keep-ing them comfortable. Physicianshave always known this but fearof litigation, which was a rarity30 years ago, now precludes goodjudgment. Many times they areforced to cede to a patient’s or afamily’s unrealistic demandsbecause of the threat of beingtaken to court. As the money driesup, we will need to be more like

Europe. And if we ever reach uni-versal health care, the moneyspent on preventing disease willreduce the extraordinary costs totreat them. In 2006, statisticsshowed that 96 percent of U.S.health care dollars are spent onacute care and biomedicalresearch, with only 1 percent to 2percent spent on preventive medi-cine and public health. At thesame time, taking greater respon-sibility for our own health habitsis vital. Over one out of threedeaths can be attributed to pre-ventable behaviors.

Perhaps even trickier will bethe task of renegotiating long-term benefits for governmentworkers. Running governmentmore like private business willafford the same programs avail-able to the private sector withoutobligating the taxpayer whoseown retirement floats further outof reach.

History shows that chaotic eco-nomic times can lead to socialunrest, repression and even revo-lution. We are living in one ofthese times. World governmentswill do whatever is necessary toavoid such calamities. InAmerica, where we’ve lived oncredit for the last three decades,we must once again return to ourprudent roots. There was a timewhen credit cards were just but a

useful convenience, not an unlim-ited ATM machine. To be sure, theopulence of our recent past hasactually been a facade propped upby cheap credit and rampant bor-rowing.

Government programs willseem in the short run to be inher-ently unfair. Sadly, it’s the previ-ous unfair government programs,corporate greed and downrightcriminal activity that lead ushere. There’s little doubt we willall bear the suffering, some morethan others.

Ultimately the victor in thereturn to “living small” may bethe planet itself. Smaller trans-lates into less waste and less pol-lution, which in turn staves offthe specter of global warming. Sodoes the reduction in fossil fueluse as we usher in an era of inex-pensive renewable energy.Cleaner air and water will lead tobetter health. Less environmentalimpact will be good for threatenedwildlife animals. Let’s hope 50years hence, our grateful grand-children can look back on usproudly for stewarding a GreenRevolution. Most any other out-come would be a disaster.

years and the last was 15.”Whether that’s true or not is dif-

ficult to ascertain, because theOUIs are spread out inMassachusetts and Connecticut.The officer who responded to lastweek’s incident could not bereached to shed any light on thematter.

Provencal actually tried to put apositive spin on the accident.

“The doctor said I was lucky to

have the accident because I was inthe process of having congestiveheart failure for the second time ina month,” he said.

Surgery, he said, was going tohave to be done.

That news raised an eyebrow atthis address, the thinking beingthat heart failure might be a signthat it’s time to stop drinking.Which, by the way, is preciselywhat Provencal said he plans to do— if not by choice.

“I can’t,” he said. “The doctorwill not do the procedure on my

heart unless I put in writing that Iwill not drink again.”

But, it was suggested, that does-n’t guarantee he’ll never pick up adrink again, or worse, get behindthe wheel of a car after drinking.

“Not after all this,” he said. “I’venever had heart failure before. Andthis accident, this was the worstpain I’ve ever had in my life.

“Believe me, I can’t drink anddrive, anymore. I really hurt myselfhere.”

Was the accident a wake-up call? “A wake up call? Well,” he said,

“it makes you think. Anything likethat makes you think.”

Provencal at least seemed to takesome responsibility for this latestincident, saying, “When you’rewrong, you’re wrong.”

Will he honestly never pick up analcoholic drink again, or getbehind the wheel of a car afterdrinking? That remains to be seen.His track record, at least accordingto police accounts, doesn’t give a lotof reason for optimism.

For the safety of everyone else onthe road, Provencal needs to know

he is a dangerous presence behindthe wheel — at least when he hasbeen drinking, which appears to bea lot. Whether he knows that,here’s hoping he remembers hisown words after he recovers fromhis injuries and from his hearttroubles: “I’m 57. I’ve got a lot ofthings going for me besides a can ofbeer.”

The recent FOI lawsuit in Pomfret that wasreported on the front page of the WoodstockVillager Feb. 6 was full of incorrect informa-tion. Once again, Chuck Boster took a jab at aPomfret logger who had absolutely nothing todo with the lawsuit or the information theyclaim was not available at a P&Z workshopwhen Boster wanted it. Boster knows very wellwhat decisions were made about "the logger"and his business in town, yet he continues totell lies with every opportunity that he can.

FACT: "The logger" was here before zoning.Fact: The ZEO found that to be true and stated

there was a legal non-conforming use of theproperty. Fact: The ZBA also agreed that "thelogger" was here before zoning. Why is Bosterin denial? Why does he continue to deceive andmislead? Why was "the logger" even men-tioned in this article?

The FOI problem was about three Pomfretresidents (Fay, Boster and Hennen) who wantto make a mockery of our town's governmentat every level, from its commissions to itsselectmen. They are insulting the intelligenceof the residents of Pomfret, and I know for afact that I speak for a great many of our peoplewhen I say that we've had enough their mali-cious intentions.

After a long and hard look at the currentsports situation in the area and as a residentof Putnam, I am downright angry. The boys’basketball program at my old Putman HighSchool is terrible, yet at Tourtellotte andWoodstock Academy, things are looking pret-ty bright. Let’s see, both Falzarano andCoderre were pushed out of PHS and both aredoing a remarkable job at their new schoolsmentioned above.

Tony Falzarano is turning the basketballprogram around at Tourtellotte MemorialHigh School, and Chris Coderre is adminis-trating all sports at WA to the tune of excel-lence. I guess our loss is both those schools’gain.

Upon further review, as they say in sports

world, one has to blame not the two adminis-trators, Margo Marvin and William Barry, butthe Putnam Board of Education that hiredthem. It seems that after doing everythingMarvin and Barry wanted and praising themfrom here to China on every move and alltheir “innovations and all their interven-tions” for the past four years, somehow, some-body got to the Board of Putnam Educationand they finally made some changes.

So I ask this Board of Education if they areman and women enough to admit they made“only” two mistakes, Margo and Billy, and toformally express to the people of Putmantheir sorrow for accepting the blame for allthe teachers, coaches and support personnelthat were forced out of our system and thatbasically destroyed a once strong wonderfulschool system.

At the first Wetlands hearing, we heardrepeatedly how Wal-Mart’s engineering of theproposed storm water runoff retention basinsconservatively met or exceeded state and localrequirements. Upon review of the plans, theintervener’s engineering firm concluded thatthey were incomplete and failed to meet townof Brooklyn regulations, as well as sound engi-neering practices detailed in various DEP pub-lications. The applicant’s team decided to goback and do four to five more days of drillingand testing in the area, and determined thatrevisions were needed.

They apparently did not have all their ducksin a row, as some proponents like to claim thatthey did, and recent testimony illustrated thatthe revised plans are flawed as well.

The detention basins are designed to filterout solids, not chemical pollutants associatedwith parking lot runoff. There is an insuffi-cient amount of ground between the bottom ofthe proposed basins and the ceiling of thewater table below them. That water table fluc-tuates seasonally, logically being highest inspring, and runs north into the immediatelyadjacent, sensitive wetlands and vernal pools,which are part of the important watershedthat feeds into Long Brook and the QuinebaugRiver. Water tables need to be monitored in thespring, during and after the melt, and have notbeen. It’s no coincidence that Wal-Mart did itsinitial testing in the fall and early winter andfiled an application when water tables are lowand accurate environmental impact studiesare all but impossible to do.

Although state statutes provide 65 days forthe commission to deliberate on the facts

before making a decision, it was indicated atthe P&Z meeting last week that the WetlandsCommission was ready to make a decision Feb.10, suggesting that they have already made uptheir minds. After such solid evidence againstthe plans given by the opposition and the inde-pendent firm hired by the town, the commis-sion has wisely decided to deliberate on it for amonth. If they allow this project to move for-ward, regardless of the testimony presentedby Attorney Shansky, Mr. Goodin, Milone &MacBroom, and the concerned public, theywould not only be acting irresponsibly, they’dbe doing the people and the environment ofthe community a huge disservice and bedemonstrating a clear prejudice in favor ofthis development.

This plan is simply too big for this site. Theyhave reduced their footprint design in othertowns to as little as 109,000 square feet (ratherthan the proposed 162,000) when needed. Thiswould not only fit the site better, creating lessof an environmental impact, but it wouldallow the property owners to sell, create ananchor store that certain misguided individu-als think they need in order to draw more out-of-state based chains, and provide virtually thesame tax revenue. But the spokesman for theWelcome Wal-Mart group has claimed thatthey want a big store.

I guess there just isn’t enough cheap, import-ed, low-quality junk to pick from around here.It doesn’t seem to matter what happens toBrooklyn or the surrounding communities. AlNorman of Sprawl-Busters said it best: “Westart talking about quality of life and theystart talking about cheap underwear.” Wal-Mart needs to shrink this plan considerably orfind another town.

Wal-Mart needs to rethink, redesign

BY BENJAMIN R. KIPPVILLAGER SPORTS CORRESPONDENT

THOMPSON — The Tourtellotte Tigers held the Ellis TechEagles to nine second-half points in the second meetingbetween the two rival schools. The Eagles struggled offen-sively all night, missing starting guard Jon Arraje and his 20-point average due to the flu, while the Tigers scored 19 second-half points to grab the 36-25 win Monday, Feb. 23, inThompson.

“That’s it,” said Tigers boys’ basketball head coach TonyFalzarano, “a total of nine points. That’s beautiful, that’sbeautiful. We kept switching defenses. I think that really sur-prised them.”

Danny Scanlon had the biggest basket of the night for theTigers. Late in the second quarter, Scanlon grabbed a missfrom his teammate and put the ball in for the lay-up to give theTigers the 17-16 lead at the midway point of the game. TheTigers never looked back while opening up the game in thesecond half.

“If you hold any team to single digits in the second half, youcan’t beat that,” said Falzarano. “I was very happy with theway Faucher played tonight.”

The Eagles’ first quarter was their best quar-ter. Josh Arraje nailed two three-pointers in thequarter, while Tom Kubic earned the three-point play the hard way. Kubic drove the lanefor the lay-up, and before the basket was made,he was fouled. He made the free-throw, whichwas the last points of the first quarter, as theEagles flew high to a 11-5 lead. Arraje had plen-ty of open looks at the basket from behind thearc, but for the rest of the game, he could onlymake one more field goal.

“It was a tough night offensively,” said Eagleshead coach Dan Piccione. “They played reallygood defense. We definitely struggled withoutJon Arraje. We had opportunities we just didn’tconvert tonight.”

What went unnoticed in the box score wasDrew Fauchers’ 16 rebounds. He only had twopoints in the game, but his rebounding kept theTigers in the game the entire night.

“That’s big. I think he went over 200 rebounds

for the year,” said Falzarano.Kubic lead the Eagles in scoring with 10 points and 11

rebounds, with the only two baskets in the third quarter.A lay-up by Arraje and a three-pointer by Sean Haythefinalized the scoring for the Eagles in the fourth quarter,making it a frustrating night for them.

“Our guards struggled all night long, and you needguards to win,” said Piccione.

The Tigers made only two field goals in the fourthquarter. The rest of the points came via the free throwline. The Tigers went eight-for-12 from the charity stripeas they out-distanced themselves from the Eagles, scor-ing 12 points.

The Tigers finish the season with an 11-9 record,while the Eagles finish the season at the .500 mark at 10-10. Both teams are looking forward to post-season playas they get ready to play in their respective conferencetournaments and the Connecticut InterscholasticAthletic Conference Class S tournament.

BY BENJAMIN R. KIPPVILLAGER SPORTS CORRESPONDENT

PUTNAM — From the midwaypoint of the second quarter untilthe end of the third quarter, theWaterford Lancers outscored thePutnam Clippers 24-12 in the open-ing round of the EasternConnecticut Conference girls’ bas-ketball tournament, heldThursday, Feb. 19, in the Putnamgymnasium. The Clippers evenheld a 20-17 lead going into half-time, but a 9-0 run to start the thirdquarter by the Lancers sparked thesecond-half comeback.

“That was tough,” said LadyClippers girls’ basketball headcoach Willie Bousquet. “We had achance; we just couldn’t contain

them enough. But webattled, even though wewere at a considerablesize disadvantage.”

“We just have goodsecond halves,” saidLancers basketballhead coach Rob VonAchen. “Myseniors came through for metonight.”

Even though two Lady Clippers,Katelyn Tarr (25 points, 10rebounds) and Crystal Lafrance (11points, 13 rebounds) both had dou-ble-doubles, Lancers guard LauraNeff (17 points, two rebounds) andcenter Alexa Long (14 points, 18rebounds) matched the Clippers allnight long.

“Their two seniors, Long and

Neff, rose to the occa-sion for them, and theyplayed well and weexpected that,” saidBousquet.

Lancers guard SaraWeller began the third

quarter by hitting a three-pointerwith less than 10 seconds off thegame clock, tying the score at 20.On the Lancers’ next possession,Neff nailed a second consecutivethree-pointer less than 30 secondslater to give them the 23-20 lead.Before the first minute of the thirdquarter was over, Long converted athree-point play the hard way bygetting fouled on a lay-up and con-verting her free throw for theLancers’ 26-20 lead.

“We just didn’t find the shootersright away,” said Bousquet.

“Absolutely, we went into thelocker room talking about how wehave to get the ball into the handsof the girls that are hot. Laura Neffwas shooting well from the outside,and Sara Weller was shooting wellfrom the outside,” said VonAchen.

Still in the third, Lafrance keptthe Clippers in the game, by hittingtwo consecutive jump shots to cutinto the Lancers’ lead 26-24. TheClippers then shot themselves inthe foot by committing two consec-utive turnovers that turned intotwo Neff baskets, as the Lancerspushed the lead back up to 30-24.

The Clippers didn’t give up andactually had a brief fourth-quarter

lead. Tarr grabbed an offensiverebound off a Lafrance miss andput it back to give them the 38-37lead at the midway point of thefourth quarter in what ended upbeing their last field goal on thenight. On the next Lancers’ posses-sion, Long dropped in a lay-up,putting them up 39-38. Tarr, whosaw the free throw line often, madeone of two free throws to tie thescore. But once again, Longanswered the call by scoring onanother lay-up, putting the Lancersup for good 41-39. For the Clippers,Tarr scored the Clippers’ last 16points.

The Clippers have some time offto get prepared for their state tour-nament, which starts next week.

and education for many on land use decision-making would run out.

Earlier this month, the 2009 OmnibusPublic Land Management Act was beingdebated in the House of Representatives, saidBrian Farber, deputy chief of staff forCongressman Joseph Courtney (D-2ndDistrict). In the legislation (S.22), there is lan-guage that extends the year of which theQuinebaug-Shetucket Heritage Corridor isdesignated as a national heritage corridor.

Farber noted that the Senate alreadypassed S.22, and that hopefully when it pass-es the House unchanged, it will go toPresident Barack Obama’s office for his sig-nature.

He further stated that Courtney intro-duced a bill in January to extend the autho-rization of the Quinebaug-Shetucket RiversValley National Heritage Corridor Act of1994, called H.R. 397. The bill extends theauthority of Ken Salazar, secretary of theDepartment of the Interior, to make grantsand provide any assistance under the actthrough 2015.

Funding increases in this bill that may gotoward the corridor could exceed by $5 mil-lion to $15 million.

On Tuesday, Farber reported that theHouse was debating the 2009 Omnibus

Appropriations bill, in relation to the stimu-lus package.

“Mr. Courtney and the legislative team arecombing through the bill to find 2nd District-specific funding,” said Farber in an e-mail.

Charlene Cutler, executive director for TheLast Green Valley Inc., said their grassrootsorganization has many individuals involvedevery year in helping them.

“We’re the first national heritage area inthe country that came up with a plan to beself-sustaining,” she said.

The Last Green Valley is the private, non-profit 501 (c) (3) corporation, located inDanielson, designated by Congress as themanagement entity for the Quinebaug andShetucket Rivers Valley National HeritageCorridor.

Cutler said the corridor, which coversnearly 1,186 square miles, started receivingfederal funds in 1996. In 1999, the corridorexpanded into southern centralMassachusetts and received $1 million infunding that year.

“We’ve received about $7 million since itstarted,” she said. “Half of that has gonetoward grants to towns and organizations inthe area. We’re required to match our federaldollars 1-to-1.”

In the 2007-’08 fiscal year, Cutler said theymatched the $711,000 in federal funds wellover the 1-to-1 ratio. The money the organiza-tion receives comes out of the NationalHeritage Partnership Program within the

National Park Service.“If you take last

year’s figure totalamount of the pro-gram and the totalamount that everyone[else] brought to thetable, ours was 56 per-cent of the nationalmatch,” she said. “Weare doing an extraordi-nary job here.”

Cutler said theyhave one project

embedded within the S.22 bill, which is cen-tered around more preservation efforts onthe corridor.

Right now, The Last Green Valley is plan-ning for its federal funding prioritiesthrough a six-year sustainability plan.

“It’s taken longer than we’ve anticipated,”she said. “This authorization would add $5million to the overall threshold. Technically,we could get a full $6 million for a full sixyears. Right now, when we’re making appro-priations for the next six years, we’re makingthem for 2010 in anticipation. We maderequests for 2009 last spring.”

Cutler added that although they could beeligible to receive around $1 million inmoney per year, it’s never happened.

“The most we’ve gotten is around$800,000,” she said. “Even with the economythe way it is, if we were to maintain some-thing like we did last year, the $711,000, we’dbe able to maintain our programming.”

The Last Green Valley has had a “very”successful program for the past 13 years,according to Cutler, citing that about $3.5 mil-lion has into grants for various communities.

“We also have the Green Valley Institute, inpartnership with the University ofConnecticut and the University ofMassachusetts,” said Cutler, “and providingeducation to land-use decision makers. So forall towns that don’t have a professional plan-ning staff, we provide all kinds of workshops,work sheets, fact sheets, etc., to educate peo-ple at the very basic level.”

She added that they know The Last GreenValley is doing it right because every threeyears they conduct a needs assessment sur-vey and about 70 percent of the forms comeback with positive feedback.

“It’s a big deal,” said Cutler. “It’s what peo-ple tell us they need.”

Agritourism is also a part of what goes onwith The Last Green Valley in the QuinebaugShetucket Heritage Corridor.

“There’s lots of small town New Englandtourism,” said Cutler. “The region has anabundance of outdoor recreation opportuni-

ties.”Her organization spends its funds on

advertising in various area magazines onvarious tourism spots in the corridor, sup-plying more than 40 information racksthroughout the region.

“We’re also doing a ‘Source to Sea’ expedi-tion this spring to introduce people to whatthey do in their back yards and how it gets tothe ocean,” said Cutler.

One of their grants was recently used bythe Brooklyn Middle School science studentsto perform water quality monitoring of areabrooks and streams and relay their findingsback to the Department of EnvironmentalManagement.

Cutler said they love their new headquar-ters in downtown Danielson and feel thatthey are part of the community, employingfour full-time people and three part-time peo-ple. (The office relocated from Putnam lastOctober.) She will be traveling toWashington, D.C., soon to present the annualreport from The Last Green Valley, asking formore support.

“Joe Courtney’s important,” added Cutler.“Rep. Richard Neal is also helpful. [Sen.]Chris Dodd has been fantastic, [Sen.] TedKennedy and [Sen.] John Kerry, too. And, ofcourse, [Sen.] Joe Lieberman.”

The Quinebaug-Shetucket HeritageCorridor is defined mostly by the water tableon the Quinebaug and Shetucket Rivers. The695,000-acre rural land from WorcesterCounty south through Windham County anda northern section of New London County islargely undeveloped farmland and forest inthe midst of one of the most largely urban-ized region in the country.

port regionalization,” said PatriciaBeckenhaupt, director of health atNDDH. “While we are very con-cerned over the drastic cuts pro-posed by the governor, we remaincommitted to finding efficient andeffective ways to overcome thesechallenges and provide realisticsolutions.”

Beckenhaupt said NDDH hasexperienced decreased revenue inpermits, which for the past fouryears have been tied to land useand developments in the QuietCorner. Meeting state mandateshas also resulted in recent revenueloss.

Funding through state grantshas primarily prevailed for NDDHto maintain its level of services forthe area.

“We understand that grants arelimited,” said Beckenhaupt, “but itcan offset the cost of what you doanyway, to the do the service right.Also, it lets you pilot something rel-evant to the people in your area,such as the Lyme disease grant.”

According to the ConnecticutDepartment of Public Health, thestate has various and differentlystructured health districts anddepartments. There are currently31 full-time municipal health dis-tricts and also 20 full-time healthdistricts (those serve anywherebetween two to 19 towns), such asNDDH. Those departments and dis-tricts serve about 93 percent of thestate population, based on 2006 pop-ulation estimates.

In addition, there are 34 part-time health districts that serve theremaining 7 percent of the state.

Killingly and Plainfield are thelargest populated towns in the dis-trict, meaning they will shouldermore of the municipal funding,according to Linda Colangelo,director of health education andcommunications at NDDH. Shesaid the smaller health districttowns will help the funding invarying degrees based on popula-tion.

NDDH currently serves morethan 85,000 residents in its 12towns, covering approximately 438square miles, touting that it servesas an excellent model on which to

base regionalization. With 35 yearsin service, it is one of the oldesthealth districts in the state.

Beckenhaupt warned that thepart-time districts, such as ones inGriswold, Voluntown and Preston,are going to be in worse shape withhaving only a part-time healthdirector and less manpower.

“The part-times are not gettingall the services,” she said, “so theyhave to pick and choose.”

Beckenhaupt added thatalthough Rell’s budget will not befinal until June or July, NDDH, byapproving its decreased budgetwith increases from its towns, willbe in preparation for those statecuts, with the modifications inorder to maintain all its servicesand staff.

Foodborne illnesses, severeweather, communicable diseases,pandemic flu and bioterrorism willalways be present in reality, despitelosing money to help fund combat-ing against those threats, saidBeckenhaupt.

“Septic systems will continue tofail,” she said. “Contamination ofair, water and food will still occur.Despite budget cuts and challeng-

ing times, there will still be skilledpublic health professionals atNDDH who will find ways to pre-vent illness, promote wellness andprotect public health.”

He wanted to get a notificationsystem in place that will alert stu-dents’ parents and guardians of allschool happenings, whether theybe serious, standard or central to asmall group, such as the studentswho were on a broken-down schoolbus on a field trip.

AlertNow is a rapid communica-tions service being offered inschool districts across the countryto enhance parental involvement insafety and education. The system isdesigned to replace the consideredoutdated and conventional commu-nication tactics, such as the “phonetree.”

“I pushed it to them,” Connellysaid about AlertNow for Putnamschools. “More school districts areusing it.”

He said after a committeeformed, its members talked toother school districts that have

emergency notification systems inplace, and interviewed three poten-tial companies, they went withAlertNow.

For a school district of roughly12,000 students, the $3,187AlertNow system breaks down toroughly $2.55 per student andcomes out of the operating budget,says Connelly.

“It should be a part of the schooldistrict’s communication infra-structure,” he added.

Connelly and Joseph Ptaszynski,acting Putnam High School princi-pal, sent a letter out to parents,dated Feb. 9, about the implementa-tion of the AlertNow system andrequested for all contact informa-tion, including e-mail address, bewritten in a document so that theAlertNow database has their infor-mation.

The different ways the PutnamSchool District will be usingAlertNow are for important mes-sages, such as early morning can-cellations, 90-minute delays due to

inclement weather, report card andprogress report reminders, andexam schedules. Time-sensitivemessages are for unexpectedweather-related delays or early dis-missals, bus delays and program orsports cancellations. Also,AlertNow would be used forabsence messages, such as when astudent is absent from school.

Connelly said AlertNow requestsmultiple contact information, suchas home phone number, workphone number, cell phone numberand e-mail, to ensure that theimportant messages get to the par-ent in the timeliest fashion.

In the case of the absence notifi-cation, Connelly said sending amessage out to the parents at workor by e-mail, additionally to thehome phone, would defeat the oldhabit of a student tampering withor deleting the school’s phone mes-sage.

“We’ll get them the message inall different forms,” said Connelly.

More serious situations, such as

a school lockdown or a utility fail-ure, would have immediate notifi-cation from AlertNow.

“We won’t be doing weeklyannouncements,” said Connelly,reiterating that they are going touse the basic functions offered byAlertNow before making it anymore sophisticated prior to thenew superintendent, Bill Hull,coming in.

Connelly said he tentativelyplans on having his last day nextFriday, March 6, and Hull will bewelcomed into office Monday,March 9.

AlertNow makes the ability forschools to communicate immedi-ately and reliably during a crisisinvaluable. The emergency callsare sent through emergency com-munications networks that onlycarry emergency lines.

Messages that are broadcast withAlertNow on these lines are recog-nized as emergency messages andare delivered before any other localcommunications.

On a caller’s identificationdevice (caller ID), the school’sphone number will be displayedduring routine calls, with “411” oncaller IDs during emergency mes-sages.

AlertNow benefits parents byreaching thousands of them inminutes, sending notificationseven when school phone lines aredown, performing polls and sur-veys, quelling rumors before theyget out of hand, boosting fund-rais-ing efforts, notifying parents whenlunch balances are running low,and sending reminders on field tripforms, PTO meetings and otherevents.

The system was developed bySaf-T-Net, a telecommunicationsconsulting business formed in 1996.

“I’ve seen him about eight years in arow,” Habitat Executive Director RonCoderre said of Moyer. “He does a greatjob of introducing each piece, and he isjust superb at playing.”

Proceeds from the concert will gotoward this year’s Habitat project: a newhouse build in Brooklyn. The group hopesto begin digging and laying a foundationthis spring.

Previous concerts have raised just over$1,000. Coderre said this year’s goal is$5,000.

Four major sponsors — the PutnamRotary, Danielson Rotary, Putnam Lions

Club and Pomfret School — have eachalready pledged $500.

“That puts us way ahead of the curvealready,” Coderre noted.

More than 200 tickets are circulating,enough to fill the auditorium, and areabusinesses are invited to advertise withinthe program booklet. Remaining fundswill come from concession sales — a sig-nificant boost, Coderre said, becauserefreshments are being entirely donatedby area groups.

“We’re sitting in a pretty good seat withjust two weeks to go,” Coderre said,attributing the success to this year’s plan-ning committee members.

“I reached out to some people I knewthat were go-getters in the communityand put them on this team,” he said. “It’sone of the best things I’ve ever done. It’sbeen so rewarding from day one.”

The committee is comprised of PegiBreckel, Lisa Cassettari, Claudia Ricci,Barbara Phaneuf, Jo Vickers, LynnBrodeur, Lucia Cafro and Richard Moore.

In addition to the benefit concert,Habitat also raises funds through anannual capital campaign, which is slatedto begin in April. The NortheastConnecticut chapter — serving Brooklyn,Canterbury, Eastford, Killingly,Plainfield, Pomfret, Putnam, Sterling,Thompson and Woodstock — has built orrehabbed 12 houses since its inception in1995.

The group most recently renovated of ahome in Danielson and another inBrooklyn. Both were dedicated inDecember.

Coderre said more than 300 volunteersare registered in the chapter’s database.From those, typically, about 50 will workon any given project.

Tickets for the March 8 concert will beavailable at the door at $20 for adults and$10 for students and seniors.

smaller works. This month, about 100 pho-tographs taken by area artist Jeff Forte areon display in an exhibit titled “The Beauty ofNew England.”

For those showcasing their work throughthe “Art @ the Library” program, a publicreception is typically held the firstWednesday evening of the month. TheFriends of the Thompson Public Libraryoffers light refreshments as guests are invit-ed to seek tips from artists. The night of thereception, a price list can generally be foundat the library’s circulation desk for thoseinterested in purchasing pieces directly fromthe artist. The pieces, of course, must stay ondisplay until the end of the exhibit period,Gorcynski noted.

The whole project began with an art auc-tion, used to raise funds for the library, in

1994.“From there, it just blossomed,” Gorcynski

said.Now, with a calendar of showings nearly

booked through 2010,Gorcynski said orga-nizing the events hasbecome much easier.Instead of Gorcynskineeding to find artistseach month, the artiststypically find her first.

“There’s an amazingamount of local tal-ent,” she said.

For some artists, theopportunity to displaywork at the library is

their first public showing. Area schools alsoreceive an invitation to showcase studentwork, and all have done so, Gorcynski said.

“It’s really a community involvement kindof thing,” she explained. “It’s a great thing tosee.”

And patrons can’t help but “see,” sheexplained. All who walk through the librarydoors pass by the outside display case andthose attending the majority of the library’sspecial programs — yoga classes, moviematinees, Wii for seniors and discussiongroups — find themselves in that large meet-ing room, surrounded by the month’s fea-

tured art.“It’s a big letdown if it’s empty,” Gorcynski

said.Not likely to be empty for quite some time,

the exhibits and coinciding receptions arefree to the public.

From March 4 to 27, the Quinebaug ValleyPhotography Club is showcasing“Adventures in Photography” in the largemeeting room. Guests are invited to a March4 reception, from 6:30 to 8 p.m., and areencouraged to bring cameras and manualsfor helpful hints and advice.

The entryway exhibit case will feature“The Scenic French River” by Cape Codartist Alan Dabrowski throughout the monthof March. Dabrowski is the son of aThompson resident.

McLarney is hospital’sFebruary employee

PUTNAM — PhyllisMcLarney, RN, ofMaternal Child Health,has been selected asDay Kimball Hospital’sFebruary Employee ofthe Month. TheEmployee Council, agroup of 20 hospital rep-resentatives, choseMcLarney for the honorafter reviewing variousnominations from hos-pital management.

“This is a very excit-ing honor,” saidMcLarney. “I amtouched that my col-leagues nominated me.We’re a great team inMCH, and I couldn’t ask

for better people to work with. Nursing is whatI love to do; I love being there for others duringone of the most important times in theirlives.”

McLarney began her career at Day Kimballin 1983. Nursing was actually her secondcareer, for she entered the field based on a per-sonal experience she had with “wonderful”nurses at one time in her life.

“A nurse at Day Kimball’s pediatric centermade such a difference in my life that I decid-ed to become an obstetrics nurse,” saidMcLarney.

Starting on Day Kimball’s Medical/Surgicalfloor, McLarney quickly moved to theMaternal Child Health Department. Prior toher career in nursing, she was a commercialartist.

“Phyllis treats everyone with respect andkindness,” said Mary Ellen Snyder, depart-ment supervisor. “She is a caring individualand a true asset to Day Kimball Hospital.”

A graduate of Three Rivers CommunityCollege, McLarney has been in nursing for 26years. Her daily responsibilities include laborand delivery and prenatal testing. She hasreceived national certification in fetal moni-toring and recently undertook a leadershiprole in the conversion to computerized docu-mentation of the labor and delivery depart-ment.

McLarney currently resides in Woodstockand enjoys horseback riding.

tion (1982) and a hit movie (1986), Little Shopof Horrors is a darkly funny rock-musicalinvolving a hapless young floral assistantnamed Seymour, who works at the strugglingMushnik’s Flower Shop on Skid Row. He con-stantly daydreams about Audrey, his cowork-er. After discovering, nurturing and show-casing an exotic plant with a mysteriouscraving for human blood, Seymour and theflower shop become an overnight sensation.Soon, “Audrey II” grows into an enormous,R&B-singing carnivore that offers Seymourfame and fortune in exchange for feeding itsgrowing appetite. Eventually, Seymour real-izes that “Audrey II” is far more than an ill-tempered, ravenous plant. The question is:Can Seymour stop its hilariously devilishplan?

Little Shop of Horrors is intended formature audiences; some scenes may not beappropriate for young children.

10 things to reduce carbon paw prints

Every wonder how pets impact the envi-ronment in The Last Green Valley? Withnearly 70,000 kittens and puppies born eachday in the United States, pets exert a big con-siderable influence on habitats. Here are 10things you can do to reduce your pet’s carbonpaw print.

1. Adopt your pet from a shelter or rescuegroup.

2. Spay or neuter your pet to reduce over-population. Not only does it decrease thenumber of homeless animals, but also dogsand cats live longer and healthier lives.

3. Know where your pet is at all times whenoutside. Domestic pets kill wildlife. In fact,household cats are so well fed and fit thatthey have an unfair advantage against thebird population. And the numbers of cats areincreasing at a faster rate than bird popula-tions.

4. Choose natural and organic pet foodswithout low-grade animal by-products andother ingredients that are unhealthy. If youwouldn’t eat it, don’t feed it to your pet.

5. Use natural cat litter. Clay is strip-minedand full of a silica dust that can be bad forthe cat’s lungs. Sodium bentonite that acts asa clumping agent in some cat litters is alsobad for the feline, as it can swell inside thedigestive track if ingested.

6. Compost pet waste or dispose of it safely.According to scientists, U.S. dogs and cats

QUIET CORNER ROUND-UPROUND-UPcontinued from page B2


RELIGION

Everyone must submit himselfto the governing authorities,for there is no authority

except that which God has estab-lished. The authorities that existhave been established by God.Consequently, he who rebels againstthe authority is rebelling againstwhat God has instituted, and thosewho do so will bring judgment onthemselves. For rulers hold no terrorfor those who do right, but for thosewho do wrong. Do you want to be freefrom fear of the one in authority?Then do what is right and he willcommend you. For he is God’s ser-vant to do you good. But if you dowrong, be afraid, for he does not bearthe sword for nothing. He is God’sservant, an agent of wrath to bringpunishment on the wrongdoer.Therefore, it is necessary to submitto the authorities, not only becauseof possible punishment but alsobecause of conscience. This is alsowhy you pay taxes, for the authori-ties are God’s servants, who givetheir full time to governing. Giveeveryone what you owe him: If youowe taxes, pay taxes; if revenue, thenrevenue; if respect, then respect; ifhonor, then honor. (Romans 13:1-7)

A first-grade teacher was tellingher students the story of ChickenLittle. This was the first time she hadread the story to the class. She said,“Once upon a time, Chicken Littlewas pecking away at her food whenan acorn fell and hit her on the head.Chicken Little looked up andbelieved the sky was falling, so sheran to all the animals in the barn-yard crying, ‘The sky is falling! Thesky is falling!’ Finally, Chicken Littleapproached the farmer and said tohim, ‘The sky is falling! The sky isfalling!’”

At this point, the first-gradeteacher stopped the story and askedher students, “And what do you thinkthe farmer said to Chicken Little?”

None of the kids answered for amoment. You could see by theirexpressions that they were in deepcontemplation over the teacher’squestion. Finally, one little boyraised his hand and said, “I think thefarmer said, ‘Wow, a talking chick-en!’”

The teacher laughed so hard shecouldn’t finish the story.

Turn on your news channel andyou will be promptly reminded thattimes are bad. The Dow is down.Unemployment is up. The recessionis speeding up. The economy is slow-ing down. Resources are shrinking.Bills are increasing. Foreclosuresare swelling. Hope is diminishing.For many people, it feels as if the skyis falling. No matter your confidence

level in the govern-ment, and whetheror not your candi-date got elected, theBible makes it clearthat everyChristian has civicresponsibilities.How are we torespond when theworld seems to becrashing downaround us?

• Pray for our leaders. The mostimportant thing we can do is to prayfor our nation’s leaders. The Bibledirects us, “I urge, then, first of all,that requests, prayers, intercessionand thanksgiving be made for every-one — for kings and all those inauthority, that we may live peacefuland quiet lives in all godliness andholiness” (1 Timothy 2:1-2). There is aministry in Washington, D.C., called“Faith and Action” led by Pastor RobSchenck. Rob felt led by the Lord afew weeks ago to go to the door in theU.S. Capitol Building and anoint andpray over the door that thenPresident-elect Obama would walkout for his swearing-in ceremony.When he notified the Capitol Policeof his intentions, they informed himin no uncertain terms that if he triedto do that he would be arrested. Buthe proceeded in faith with his plan,and as he approached the CapitolBuilding, he happened to meet one ofhis friends, U.S. Rep. Paul Brounfrom Georgia, who is one of themany evangelical Christians in theU.S. House. When Rob told him of hisplans, Mr. Broun said, “Sure, let’s doit.”

They proceeded to the door of theCapitol and had a private prayer ser-vice for President Obama, and theyanointed the doorposts and lentil ofthe door our president walkedthrough on Inauguration Day. Criticshave ridiculed this as a stupid stuntby crazed religious nuts, but theymight be surprised to learn thatwhen George Washington laid thecornerstone for the U.S. CapitolBuilding in 1793, he anointed it withoil, the Bible was read and a localpastor prayed over it. Don’t underes-timate the power of a faithful fewwho take seeking God’s face serious-ly. You might not spend any time sit-ting in the seat of a legislator onCapitol Hill, but you certainly canspend time sitting at the foot of theThrone of Grace petitioning ourGreat King and God to bless ournation and guide our leaders.

• Play by the rules. When the apos-tle Paul wrote the words in the pas-sage above, Christianity had beendeclared an illegal religion. A mad-

man named Nero was in control ofthe government. Taxes and fear wereat an all-time high. Morale and confi-dence were at an all-time low. Yet, hestill counsels believers to do what isright. It wasn’t easy to be a fullydevoted follower of Jesus then. It’snot easy to be a fully devoted follow-er today. But here is his point: Thereis always going to be pressure to com-promise. Difficult times, however, donot provide anyone with a validexcuse to bend the rules. Probablythe greatest test of whether you trulybelieve this or not will be revealedwhen you file your tax forms.Because we are followers of Jesus,we will want to obey the laws of ourland.

The Bible says, “Remind the peopleto be subject to rulers and authori-ties, to be obedient, to be ready to dowhatever is good, to slander no one,to be peaceable and considerate, andto show true humility toward allmen” (Titus 3:1-2). If anyone everhad a right not to play by the rules, itwas Jesus, yet he obeyed the law.When he was asked about a tax pay-ment to the Romans, he didn’t haveany money, so he told Peter to gocatch a fish. Peter caught a fish andfound a coin in its mouth. We are insuch awe of that miracle that we for-get Jesus used that coin to pay histaxes. Do what is right. Play by therules.

• Participate in bringing aboutchange. Bringing change into theworld has never depended upon anelection. Jesus said, “You are the saltof the earth,” and, “You are the lightof the world.”

You have been called to make a dif-ference. Regardless of the political oreconomic climate, Christians havealways been called to be world chang-ers. We’re not called to retreatbehind stained glass windows andwait for the rapture. Jesus command-ed us to be salt and light in a decay-ing and dark culture. Every time youstay faithful to your commitments,reach out to a needy person, love oneanother unconditionally or servesacrificially, you are helping anotherperson understand the nature andheart of our Heavenly Father. Whenthey in turn respond and surrenderto his grace — now that’s change youcan believe in.

It’s true, times are bad. ButChristians are not to be like ChickenLittle running around filled withfear and trepidation. Let’s stayfocused on our Great King, continueto obey his Word and bring glory tohis name by ministering to others.

Tim Vamosi is the pastor ofEastford Baptist Church in Eastford.

Sponsored by the Killingly-Brooklyn Interfaith Council, this 82ndWDOP is a worldwide ecumenicalmovement of women who cometogether annually. Each year, a differ-ent country serves as the writer of theworship service. This year, Papua

The health ofthe citizens is the poorest in thePacific; people live in thatched orgrass houses with dirt floors; 60 per-cent of the female population is illiter-ate; and the Human Rights Watch isprotesting police beatings, rape andtorture of children. Carteret Island,one of the first victims of climatechange, is sinking and 1,500 refugeesare in need of new housing; otherislands are similarly affected.

All men, women and children arewelcome. For WDOP questions, or tovolunteer to help, call Barbara at (860)928-0308 or Bev at (860) 792-8054.

BY KEITH GRIFFIN

There’s a certain Ying and Yangabout reviewing the Lexus LX 570– the luxury sport utility vehicle.On one hand, I feel guilty forenjoying such opulence in themidst of a recession when peopleare losing their jobs or seeingtheir salaries reduced (presentcompany included). But, it’s sucha luxurious ride that I can’t helpbut enjoy myself.The luxury just envelops you andmakes you comfortable like agood winter coat. The full arrayof standard luxury amenitiesincludes leather-trimmed uphol-stery, four-zone independent cli-mate control, a voice-activatedhard disc drive navigation sys-tem with Bluetooth capability, anine-speaker Lexus PremiumAudio system, front-seat power-seat cushion extenders, andmuch more including a rear back-up camera.With 28 total air vents, the cli-mate control system is designedto bathe occupants in comfort-able air, even during extremeheat, rather than simply projectstreams of cool air at them. Forcolder weather, the LX 570 isequipped with an auxiliaryPositive Temperature Coefficient(PTC) heater. The PTC heaterwarms air by passing it over anelectrically heated ceramic ele-ment.In addition to the new LuxuryPackage, the LX 570’s option listincludes climate-controlled frontseats and heated second-rowseats, and entertainment sys-tems. The available rear-seatentertainment system playsDVDs and uses a nine-inch wide-format screen. The available 19-speaker Mark LevinsonReference Surround Sound audiosystem is capable of storing up to2,000 digital songs on a portion ofthe navigation system’s HDD(hard disk drive). Just because Ilike to crunch the numbers, thehard disk drive can hold up to 100hours of music.The power delivery is impressivefrom the LX 570. Its 5.7-liter V8powerplant produces 383 horse-

power at 5,600 rpm and peaktorque of 403 lb.-ft at 3,600 rpm. Idon’t tow, but Lexus points thisout, “Crucial to LX customerswho tow with their vehicles, 90percent of peak torque is avail-able at just 2,200 RPM.” It allowsfor a smoother acceleration whenstarting off with a boat behindyou on the ramp.Fuel economy is an oxymoronwhen it comes to the LX 570. TheEPA rates it at 12 mpg city and 18mpg highway. It runs on premiumfuel but at this price level what’san extra 30 cents a gallon?Annual fuel cost for the LX 570 is$2313 based on $2.16 a gallon pre-mium.The LX 570’s six-speed automatictransmission, Lexus says, isdesigned to handle high torquewhile performing with Lexusquietness and smoothness. Theelectronically-controlled trans-mission’s control unit estimatesroad conditions and predicts thedriver’s intention to select theappropriate gear ratio for thevehicle’s speed and the drivingconditions. The LX 570 likes torun the highway at about 80 mph.I would like to take this Lexus offthe beaten path to see how it per-forms. The LX 570’s transfer caseprovides full-time four-wheeldrive that is equally adept at han-dling the rigors of slippery win-ter weather or deep mud or snow.The four-wheel active tractioncontrol employs both brake andthrottle intervention to help con-trol wheel spin. Vehicle StabilityControl helps maintain direction-al control during cornering andcan be disengaged.The crawl control feature pro-vides improved throttle modula-tion when maneuvering overrough, uneven or difficult sur-faces. When the transmission isshifted into low range, crawl con-trol regulates engine speed andoutput, along with braking force,to propel the vehicle forward orin reverse at one of three low-speed settings. I’ve experiencedsomething similar in Land Rovervehicles at their off-road schoolsin Canada and North Carolina.Without crawl control, the driver

would have to do all of thesethings manually. Unless you arean especially adept driver – andI’m not claiming to be – technolo-gy is always going to rule the day.And did I mention the LX 570seats eight? So, go ahead.Embrace your children’s carpoolwith a strong sense of confi-dence. You’re never going to beembarrassed pulling up to theprivate school’s front door in thisvehicle.Of course, all of this luxurycomes with a price, but you canstill afford it even if you have toask. I drove a 2008 model, loanedto me by Lexus, that started witha pricetag of $74,600. The 2009model is priced at $75,705. Fullyequipped, as my model seemed tobe, the LX 570 runs $86,455. Thisis a good time to do some hag-gling, though.
