LEAVES TROOP D BARRACKS AFTER 34 YEARS
FOR FORMER CHURCH
Technical Operations Manager Charles Kelleher works on the equipment.

VILLAGER STAFF WRITER
KILLINGLY — The pressure was on
for more space at the Troop D barracks
in Danielson, which for the past 34 years
has been home to the State Police and
Quinebaug Valley Emergency
Communications.
The idea to build a new Emergency
Dispatch Center originated in 2008
because of lack of space as both operations
continued to expand, according to
QVEC President Jeffery Otto.
“It just came to the point where we had
to seriously consider moving,” he said.
“Troop D housed us for about 34 years
and we’d moved twice within the barracks
already. Everyone’s needs for additional
space became more severe as time
went on.”
After exploring several options, which
included building a separate building on

the Troop D property and acquiring a
parcel of land in Brooklyn, QVEC
agreed to purchase the property at 11
Hartford Pike in Killingly.
“The Dioceses of Norwich had recently
closed five churches in Killingly,” Otto
said. “The Catholic Church was wanted
to assure that the property would continue
to serve the community, so we were
able to reach an agreement that was
under very favorable terms for us.”
Over the past 37 years QVEC put aside
funding from rented tower space at the
South Killingly Tower and through dispatching
paramedic services that are
non-public funds, all of which contributed
to funding the construction,
explained Otto.

Chimney cleaning
scam in Killingly
RESIDENTS WARNED TO BE
CAREFUL WHEN CALLS ARRIVE
BY MERYL E. WILLETT
VILLAGER STAFF WRITER
KILLINGLY — Killingly
Resident State Trooper
William Kuckel is warning
residents to be on the look
out for a telephone scam
involving a chimney cleaning
service.
Kuckel said that over the
past month, phone calls have
been reported from
Canterbury and Killingly of
a scam that involves a chimney
cleaning service. Last
week Kuckel said the scammers
had managed to hack
the caller ID system so people
were receiving calls from
what appeared to be the
Town of Killingly soliciting
chimney sweep work.
The scammers had manipulated
the system in a way
that made it impossible for
state troopers to trace the
calls back to the actual
source. Kuckel said that
when troopers first attempted
to trace the phone calls, it
led them to the home of an
elderly couple in Canterbury
who were unaware of the
scam.
Kuckel warns that recently
the caller ID is reading
“The Town OF Killingly”
when these types of phone
calls are being made.
“We want to make sure
people do not give out any
personal information as to
the times they will or will
not be home, and absolutely
do not give out any cash to
these people.” warned
Kuckel.
He explained it seems as
though the scam is targeting
the elderly.
“We need to warn these
people, they cannot give out
the times when they are or
are not going to be home in
case the scammers are planning
to case the house to
commit a burglary,” Kuckel
said. “We are still not sure
who these people are.”
The scam has been taking
place over the past few
weeks spanning the northeast
corner of the state.
“Out of 300 homes they try
to scam if they get one person
for $500 or $600, then
they’ve accomplished what
they are trying to do,”
Kuckel said.
He reiterated that people
performing scams of this
nature know the right trigger
phrases to get a response
that they are looking for. He
said to be aware of anyone
soliciting chimney sweep
services.
“That’s normally not how
people work,” Kuckel said.
If the scammers are successful
in talking to someone,
make sure to ask the
right questions, including
the consumer protection
number, a tax identification
number and where the company
is located. Kuckel also
said to then contact State
Police at (860) 779-4900 to
alert them that you have
been contacted, and to be
aware of
vehicles.
Legislators urged to help local businesses

KILLINGLY VILLAGER
On inns, saunas and whetstones
Several weeks ago, in the column
for March 9, I asked if anyone had
ever heard of Meadowbrook Inn
since the Historical Center had
received a request for information
about the site.
Lynn LaBerge, Marilyn Labbe
and I were thrilled when a Killingly
resident (who wishes to remain
unknown) came into the center
with a small booklet advertising the
inn. Although the person who
inquired about it thought it was
located in South Killingly, it was
not. The brochure describes it as
being in East Killingly; the 1937
Putnam, Danielson and Moosup
Telephone Directory gave its location
as Killingly Center and Edwin
B. Kingsbury as its proprietor
(“genial host” in the pamphlet).
Visitors were encouraged to “Come
Gambol With Us For a While.”
“Meadowbrook, with its 135
acres, always beautiful and ever
changing, invites you to explore its
woodland trails and grassy flowered
paths; to climb its rugged boulders
and hillsides; fish, bathe, and
with horse and saddle enjoy any of
the many other phases of outdoor
life which abound everywhere. The
house, a typical country farm residence,
built all of a century ago, has
17 rooms as follows: eight sleeping
rooms, two reception rooms facing
the south, den with cobble stone
fireplace, … a dining room in the ell
facing the south with bay window,
also door opening to the north as
well as south and to the new highway
… The house has five fireplaces
… electrics throughout … there is a
new glassed-in porch facing the
south and commanding a wonderful
view to the east, south and west … ”
Now Lynn, Marilyn, and I tried to
figure out where this inn might
have been located. We knew that
Jeremiah Field and later the
Kingsbury family had a hotel on
Route 101 across from where Cook
Hill Road intersects with that highway.
However, the photo of that on
Page 78 of “Images of America:
Killingly” did not seem to match the
picture in the brochure.
Meadowbrook only appears in
Natalie Coolidge’s Killingly
Business Directory during the
1930s.
I remembered that Doris Bury
lived on Breakneck Hill as a young
girl, so called her to see if she could
remember Meadowbrook. She didn’t
recall the inn, but said that a
Finnish family named Bjork lived
in the huge old house on Route 101
and had “guests” (the old
Kingsbury Hotel mentioned above).
Whether they were family members
or paying visitors, Doris didn’t
know. Talking about the Bjorks,
however, led to an interesting story.
It seems that they had a steam
room. Doris reminisced about going
in it and then jumping in the spring
out in the yard. That resulted in an
unusual cultural exchange! Her
KILLINGLY

WEAVER
French Canadian father, Patrick
Joseph Durocher (who received his
“Irish” name because he was born
on St. Patrick’s Day), decided to
build his own steam house on
Breakneck Hill. He converted an old
shed or chicken coop into his family’s
own sauna. One room was the
changing area. The second had
rocks on top of a warm tube that
was heated by a wood fire on the
outside of the building. Water was
thrown on the hot rocks to produce
the steam. All the women “young
and old” would go into the steam
house at one time; then at another
time the men and boys would go in
(conversation, March 16).
Back to Meadowbrook — Marilyn
Labbe called Natalie Coolidge in
Florida to see if she could place the
inn, and we were in luck! She said
the house on the south side of Route
101 that was purchased by shoe
merchant and inventor Andrew Del
Pesco in the 1940s was the former
Meadowbrook Inn. (It is located
east of the large field after the Cook
Hill Road intersection.) Joe
Chauvin located the Connecticut
Historical Commission survey of
the house and property, compiled by
Mary E. McCahon in 1990, and had a
copy ready for me when I returned
to the center on March 17. It provided
the following: “The nucleus of
the Colonial Revival house is an old
Warren house that was originally
located on the north side of
Hartford Pike. It was moved to the
south side of the road in the mid-
1930’s when the state realigned
Route 101. The house originally
stood in what was to become the
new right-of-way of the new roadway.
At that time it was part of
Edwin Bartlett Kingsbury’s
‘Meadowbrook Farm.’ Mr.
Kingsbury, … was an artist …
Inventor Thomas Edison reportedly
visited the house and papers and
notes on some of his projects were
found in the attic. Kingsbury, like
Edison, was from New Jersey”
(Survey No. 96; Cady-Warren
House).
At the “Show and Tell” program
of Killingly Historical Society the
beginning of March, several individuals
brought in items that provoked
much interest and discussion.
Reading about Dick Adams’
booklet on “Mills Along the
Whetstone Brook” provided the catalyst
for Bill Meagher to bring a
pair of bearings on which the axel
of a whetstone would have been
placed; they were marked “CSCo.”
All farmers had a number of tools
such as scythes that needed to be
sharpened on a regular basis, so
whetstones were necessary implements.
Most were left to the elements.
These bearings that Bill
brought “were cast with minimal
machined surfaces so rust, etc.
would not hamper operation.”
Often the farmer built a “wooden
sawhorse type stand” to hold the
gears and the whetstone was placed
in between. He powered the simple
device with his foot. It was important
that the whetstone be kept wet
to reduce friction and overheating,
so water was either poured on the
stone or was in a trough underneath
so the stone could pass
through it (Bill Meagher, March 3,
March 11 and small illustration).
Richard Anger, who had also
attended the program, left the center
before Bill, went home and used
his computer to discover that the
“CS Co.” stood for Cleveland Stone
Company and called the center with
that information. It was a nice addition
to the discussion. (I’ll tell you
what Richard brought in a future
column.)
During the mid-19th century
Marcus Wells Fyler had operated a
shop for making whetstones “near
the Main Street, Danielson, bridge
over Five Mile River,” according to
Arnold’s “Making of Danielson,”
referenced in The Killingly
Business Encyclopedia by Natalie
L. Coolidge. References span a timeframe
from 1852 to 1870 when he is
listed in the census as a manufacturer
of scythe stones. There is a
box on display at the general store
in Old Sturbridge Village that has a
label reading “Fyler & Co. West
Killingly CT.”
I’ll be anxious to do a little
research to see what I can locate
about Edwin Bartlett Kingsbury as
an artist. If any of you have heard
of him, or remember him, or have
additional stories to pass on please
contact the Killingly Historical
Center or email me.
Special thanks to Bill Meagher,
Richard Anger, Marilyn Labbe,
Natalie Coolidge, Joe Chauvin and
Doris Bury for memories and assistance
with this column.

CANTERBURY — The Woman’s Board of Day Kimball Hospital
recently held their annual Valentine Tea event at Wright’s Mill Farm
in Canterbury.
More than 180 attendees enjoyed a delicious lunch, games of chance
and a fashion show featuring clothing by CoCo’s Cottage in
Woodstock. The Valentine Tea event this year raised more than $4,000,
which goes toward the Woman’s Board’s philanthropic endeavors.
The annual Valentine Tea event celebrates the life of Moses Day
Kimball, the person for whom Day Kimball Hospital was named. In
the late 1800’s, Mrs. Susan Kimball donated $5,000 toward the construction
of the new hospital, with the condition that the institution be
named after her son Moses Day, who died in his early twenties while
working as a U.S. Supreme Court law clerk in Washington DC. She
also requested that his life be celebrated each year around his birthday,
which was February 14. The Day Kimball Hospital Woman’s
Board has been honoring that request annually.
The Day Kimball Hospital Woman’s Board has been a volunteer
fundraising group for Day Kimball Hospital for 117 years. In 2009 they
committed to a five-year pledge to raise $217,000 towards the purchase
of state-of-the-art patient monitoring equipment for the Emergency
Department. The monitors are portable to facilitate monitoring
patients who do not yet have a room or need to be moved within the
hospital. Most recently, in January of 2012, the Woman’s Board joined
other Northeast Connecticut leadership organizations by gifting Day
Kimball $75,000 toward the “Care in a Heartbeat” Capital Campaign to
rebuild the hospital’s emergency department.
Other upcoming Day Kimball Hospital Woman’s Board fundraisers
include a Dinner/Dance on Friday, April 27, at Wright's Mill Farm featuring
Chris Jacob as Frank Sinatra with a 10-piece orchestra, the
Ladies Night Out Fashion Show on Thursday, May 10, and the Black
Box Theater Reception and Show on Friday, Aug. 3.

Woman’s Board, call Paula Schimmel, president of the Day Kimball
Hospital Woman’s Board at the Day Kimball Hospital Gift Shop or by

‘Spelling Bee’ comes to Bradley Playhouse
CELEBRITY CONTESTANTS, AUDIENCE GET CHANCE TO BE PART OF SHOW
BY MERYL E. WILLETT
VILLAGER STAFF WRITER
PUTNAM — “The 25th Annual Putnam
County Spelling Bee” opened at the Bradley
Playhouse on March 16 — and, to the audience’s
surprise, put members of the community
in the spotlight during the show.
Various volunteer guest spellers from the
audience joined the cast on stage during
each performance and competed in the bee.
Some local “celebrities” also participated in
the show.
“What I think makes the show extra special
are the guest celebrity spellers and some
audience members that we are going to ask
to participate at random as they come in for
the performances,” said Director Kathe
Atwood. “We are going to have four for each
performance.”
The “celebrity” spellers that audience
members can expect to see throughout the
three weeks of performances are Erica
Kesselman, M.D., Monique Wolanin, director
of college development at Quinebaug
Valley Community College, Plainfield First
Selectman Paul Sweet, Karen and Gary
Osbrey of WINY-AM 1350, Lnida Colangelo,
Laura Crosetti, Donald Williams Jr., QVCC
President Ross Tomlin and head of Pomfret
School Tim Richards.
“It’s never the same show,” said Assistant
Director Tammie LaBonte. “You never know
what will happen with the guest speller
when they are going to get out. It keeps the
show alive.”
“The 25th Annual Putnam County
Spelling Bee” debuted on Broadway in 2005
to positive reviews, winning two Tony
Awards. The play was originally conceived
by Rebecca Feldman, with music and lyrics
by William Finn, and is an adaptation of the
book written by Rachel Sheinkin. The show
follows six quirky bright spellers throughout
a spelling bee. Each character evolves while
their stories unfold, and the adults who are
leading the bee do some growing up themselves.
“The way that it plays out is really very
fun,” LaBonte said. “There are exciting
dance numbers and we have some very talented
vocalists. I hadn’t heard of the show
until I was asked to assistant direct. It’s such
a fun show. It will make you laugh, and cry.
It’s very touching.”
Atwood has been apart of the Bradley
since the 1980s, when she acted in the second
show to ever be put on there, and continued
participating until the 1990s, when she
became involved with the productions at
Pomfret School, directing three shows a year
at the school.
“Two or three years ago Greg Brock asked
if I would direct ‘Fiddler on the Roof.’ I’ve
been back ever since,” Atwood said. “I had
seen the show once before up in Vermont
and I loved it. I thought it was such a fun
show. When the opportunity came up here to
do it, I thought, ‘Wow!’”
While members of the community may
have commented that they assumed the
Putnam County Spelling Bee was an actual
spelling bee, Atwood confirms it is actually a
play and invites everyone to come and join
in.
“I’ve done theater here for six or seven
years and have been doing performance for
about 14,” said Keith Murphy, who plays Leaf
Coneybear, while wearing a cape, helmet,
and roller skates. “I wanted this part because
it’s silly. My character is 12 years old and has
been raised by hippies. Leaf is ridiculous. He
makes his own clothes and only got into the
spelling bee on a lark.”
Diane Pollard plays Rona the Realtor, a
previous spelling bee champion. Pollard
explained her role of playing the facilitator
for the 25th annual spelling bee.
“It’s really important to Rona,” Pollard
said. “The 25th Bee is the big bee, and she
kind of relives her own victory as a kid.
Rona wants to bring competitive spelling to
the kids and gets really into the drama and
the competitive aspect of the bee.”
The playhouse, which is operated on a volunteer
basis, attracted a cast of veterans,
some of whom have been active in local theater
for many years.
“They willingly give so much of their own
time,” Atwood said. “It really is an amazing
process. It takes planning and communication
and a lot of willing hands, and we’ve got
them and we are very lucky.”
Performances are March 23, 24, 30 and 31
at 7:30 p.m. and March 18, 25 and April 1 at 2
p.m. The Bradley Playhouse is located on
Main Street (Route 44) in downtown Putnam.

KILLINGLY VILLAGER
Academy guides get own historical tour
BY KERENSA KONESNI
VILLAGER STAFF WRITER
WOODSTOCK — Wearing polo shirts
emblazoned with the phrase “I am the difference,”
the Woodstock Academy
Ambassadors welcomed former English
chair and trustee-appointed Academy
Historian Dr. Robert Smith to the campus
Friday, March 16 for a workshop on the
academy’s history.
With the program in its second year of
existence, students who participate as
ambassadors serve as “tour guides” for
prospective students and other visitors to
the campus, and as ushers during school
events.
The workshop with Smith, who taught at
the academy for 32 years and currently
serves as the director for arts and humanities
at St. Joseph’s College in West Hartford,
provided students with a history of the
campus, meant to increase their effectiveness
as guides.
Over a period of three hours, Smith
engaged the students with historical anecdotes
about various areas of the campus
that are stops along their tours, as well as
an overview of the historical transition of
education from the academy standard to
public education, and why Woodstock
Academy has maintained its independent
status.
“It’s important that you provide an accurate
narrative of the history of Woodstock
Academy during your tours,” Smith said to
students in the program. “Your role as

ambassadors is to bring Woodstock
Academy’s history forward from the past, to
a new generation.”
Smith urged students to speak to the
strength of the arts and athletic program at
the academy during tours, as well as the
variety of programs offered. He advised the
ambassadors have a larger responsibility
than merely handing out programs.
“It’s a life safety role,” said Smith. “You
need to stay at your post, scan the audience,
and to be alert for any medical emergencies
that may occur during an event.”
Students asked questions including why
the fountain stands where it does in the
field house and why the school’s mascot is a
centaur. Students brightened visibly over
questions surrounding rumors — including
whether there had been a death at the academy
that led the school to hold off on implementing
a football program in the past.
Smith acknowledged a death had
occurred at the campus, when a principal
living in the Academy Building died of
pneumonia in the 19th century. But he said
the sports-related death is an old wives’ tale
that occurs “wherever a school does not
have a football team.”
Asked why she joined the ambassadors
just over two weeks ago, Hanna Mueller, a
10th-grade student said, “I like the idea of
being able to share your love for your school
with other people and get them to understand
why people go here, and what they are
going to get to experience if they come
here.”
Brianna Bissonnette, a junior, has been
with the Ambassadors since the beginning
of last year.
“I think this workshop has been very
interesting,” she said. “I love learning
about history that applies to me, and these
are all things that are really good to know.”
“I didn’t realize there was so much that
went into the making of the school,” added
Hanna.
Both girls said the information they
received from Smith would aid them in
their ability to provide more insight into
the history of the school during tours.
“You will be the ones that keep the history
of Woodstock Academy alive,” Smith
saids as he ended his presentation last
Friday.

Physical education, Version 2.0

VILLAGER STAFF WRITER
WOODSTOCK — It’s a workout program
that has taken the fitness world by storm.
In the second semester of its implementation
at Woodstock Academy, it’s become so
popular that an additional section was added
to the physical education program.
CrossFit Training, a competitive physical
training program, is not your average workout.
It runs the gamut from Olympic
weightlifting workouts, to rowing, to static
stretching — and it’s all intense.
Despite the high intensity of the fitness
program, 39 students are enrolled in the
Nutrition and Fitness class, through which
CrossFit Training is offered.

Two sections of the Nutrition and Fitness class
compete in a time trial.
Bottone says to be successful in the program,
a student has got to want to take it.
“In the write-up of the course, we tell them
it’s intense physical activity,” Bottone said.
“The first day of class we tell them what the
expectations are, and the importance of
things like eating before they come to class in
the morning.”
The program is not designed to cater to students
who are already athletes, according to
Bottone.
“There are kids in the program that aren’t
the most fit but that want to get fit. They want
to learn it, and so they come here,” he said.
“The kids who get into it just get hooked on
it.”
Only one section of the program was
scheduled for the current semester, but
because of the high demand a second was
created.
Bottone said the CrossFit training is beginning
to bleed over into other gym classes as
well.
“There is a bit of a shift, and we are starting
to sprinkle in a bit of what we do in the
Nutrition and Fitness class with our regular
physical education classes,” he said. “So
instead of asking students to run for 10 minutes,
we’ll set up stations where they do some
of the exercises that they would do in
PE teachers Adam Bottone and Jeff Boshka coach
students during an in-class competition.
CrossFit workouts.”
“It’s a slow shift in that direction,” Bottone
said. “But in my opinion this is how all physical
education classes should be.”
Because of the intense physical activity, a
large emphasis is placed on making sure the
students are doing the exercises properly,
under the guidance of a trained instructor.
To ensure that would take place, Bottone and
fellow physical education teacher Jeff
Boshka brought in an expert and Woodstock
Academy alum, Ryan Sansoucy.
Sansoucy has been running Hardline
Fitness, a CrossFit gym in Putnam, for about
two years, and has been involved in the workout
program for four. He now serves as a consultant
for the program at the academy, and
aided in the development of the curriculum.
During the Friday, March 16 Nutrition and
Fitness class, students from both sections
engaged in a competition; each “team”
charged with completing a series from a
large workout faster than the other.
“This is a little bit different from what we
would normally do,” Sansoucy said. “It’s
going to be a little competitive, but that’s
what CrossFit is all about. You’re working
against the clock.”
According to Sansoucy, participants usually
do workouts for a specified time period or
do as many rounds as possible. Or they set a
certain level of workload
that must be completed
in a certain
time span.
“So, some workouts
are three minutes, and
then you’re flat on

your back and you can’t move because you
did 350 reps in three minutes,” Sansoucy
said. “Other times you spend 20 minutes seeing
how many times you can go through a
round of a set number of exercises.”
“The kids are responding well to it,” he
said. “It’s a great culture.”
As part of the class, three guest speakers
are brought in each semester. Students are
also schooled in the importance of proper
nutrition — a lesson Boshka says is being
taken home to their families at the end of the
school day.
While class periods run 84 minutes each at
Woodstock Academy, Bottone said the 39 students
in the program are only physically
exerting themselves for about 15-20 minutes
of that time.
“The thing I like about it, even as an adult,
is that you are working hard, but it’s not
hours upon hours,” said Boshka. “And you
are working to beat yourself, to beat your
own time in a workout.”
Throughout the program, the students do a
set of workouts and then track their time.
The next time they are asked to complete the
same workout, they try to beat their previous
time.
“It’s getting kids excited,” said Boshka. “As
a physical education teacher that is great.
You don’t have to drag them along — they’re
willing to go, and hungry for more.”

Wormy ways
WHAT IS IT?
“I doubt that there are many other
animals which have played so important
a part in the history of the
world.” —Charles Darwin on earthworms
Spring officially started this
week on Tuesday, March 20.
Inspired by my family’s rave
reports of a spring equinox
hike with Goodwin Forest’s nature
expert Juan Sanchez, where they
explored all the different signs of
spring, I began to consider which
“sightings” make me realize it’s
spring.
Spotting earthworm activity is a
sign of the season for me. And earthworms
are most active in the spring
and in the fall when the weather’s
temperature rests around 50-70
degrees (Learner). I see them come
to the surface after a spring rain,
sliding along in the puddles. I note
some of their holes in my garden’s
soil, recalling that they might be
good for my crops. I use them as bait
on opening day of the fishing season.
I hear the robins twittering about
looking for earthworm food and am
reminded of the adage “the early
bird catches the worm.”
Earthworms are indeed a farmer’s
friend and a gardener’s pal. One of
my favorite “learn about science”
books for kids is called “Wiggling
Worms at Work,” written by Wendy
Pfeffer and illustrated by Steve
Jenkins. Though this piece is geared
toward children aged 5-9, this book is
fun for any-aged reader interested in
exploring the ways in which earthworms
“work.” Pfeffer calls worms
“nature’s plows,” noting how they
tunnel and burrow, breaking up the
dirt as they move. Their tunnels aerate
the soil and also provide a channel
for water to filter through to
plant roots.
As earthworms tunnel they will

ELLSWORTH
eat through the dirt, digesting all
kinds of material in front of them.
This means they take in all kinds of
material, including leaves, grasses,
seeds, sand, coarse dirt, animal feces
and roots. In the words of Pfeffer,
“Worms do not have teeth. Muscles,
fine grains of sand, and small stones
in the gizzard [of the worm] grind
the soil. Worms digest leaf and plant
bits that are found in soil. … What’s
left passes through a worm’s body
and comes out its tail end in the form
of pellets, called castings” (10).
These castings, a bit like fertilizer,
enrich the soil. Castings also counteract
acidic soil, regularly establishing
the soil’s pH level at 7
(Ehow.com). In the pH scale, 7 is neutral;
anything less than 7 is acidic
and anything higher than 7 (up to 14)
is basic. Many agricultural crops
and garden plants thrive in “neutralized”
soil.
Earthworms are not welcome critters
everywhere. In fact, they do present
problems in forested areas.
Acidic soil is imperative for the
health of deciduous forests.
According to an article printed by
the West Virginia Native Plant
Society and written by
Environmental Educator Dennis
Burton, hardwood “forests rely on
the organic litter on top of their soil
for needs including slow release of
nutrients. Nevertheless, forest
mulch disappears quickly, as does
acidity, when hungry earthworms
arrive” (http://www.ehow.com/
facts_7601719_soil-acidity-earthworms.html).
Wikipedia notes that
the earthworms mix the forest floor
nutrients into the lower layers of
soil. Thus, the nutrients are filtrated
and not available for the very plants
that need them. Some young tree
species, with only shallow root systems,
are struggling to thrive in
these forests where earthworms
have “taken over.” This means that
the biodiversity of these woods suffers
as well.
Whether you’re an earthworm fan,
or someone that finds them “icky,” at
least you can applaud their “work”
in our agricultural fields, gardens,
and lawns. Just by wiggling around,
these creatures do so much good.
Now if we could only encourage
them to wiggle away from some of
our deciduous forests. Until then,
Happy Spring!

A matter of speech
Most weeks, I know exactly
what I am going to write
about. Usually either
something has occurred
in our own personal lives, or I’ve
“born” witness to or heard something
that caused me to think, “I
can make an article out of that.”
This week, I wasn’t so sure, but I
had an “idear” brewing in my mind,
a seed that had been planted several
weeks back, one which resurfaced after paying
close attention to the manner in which
people not only speak, but also write, though
one could argue that Facebook and texting
might not be the best source from which to
gather such information. But it’s not only
that. Sadly, I can’t tell you how many times
my own children have said to me, “Spelling
doesn’t count.” Really? When did that happen?
Now that’s been confirmed by an
administrator — on some of the standardized
tests, improper spelling is not a factor.
“Not for nothin’,” but when I went to school,
back in the day, spelling counted.
A while back, my friend Mike posted what
seemed to be a rather innocuous status
regarding things people say that are incorrect
and annoying. The list of generated
responses was lengthy and amusing. Having
a list of my own personal pet peeves regarding
that very topic, I chose to revisit it, asking
folks what their grammatical, syntactical
or phonetic irritants were. The responses
racked up relatively quickly and, as I suspected,
a few of my own were present. I
grabbed a pen from the “draw” and jotted
them down.
What surprises me is that “off-en” times
these errors fall from the mouths of folks
one might consider “expecially” smart, welleducated
people. This leads me to wonder if
some of the errors, particularly those
regarding the way in which a word is spoken,
versus using the wrong word entirely, is

more of a regional issue. I’m trying
to understand, among those for
whom English is “there” first language,
why someone would ask me
how my “tumb” is doing in regard to
an injury I incurred when I was
much younger. Wait a second …
doesn’t that word have an “h” in it?
For all “intensive” purposes, I
have to “aks,” are we not “supposably”
teaching spelling and pronunciation
any longer during the formative
years? If memory serves, I recall hearing
terms such as “sight words” and “phonetics.”
I’ve no doubt “their” have been several
educational changes over the years in terms
of which program professionals feel works
best to teach “they’re” students how to spell
and pronounce words. Or have we given up
“all together” and that’s why my children tell
me spelling doesn’t count? It is “acrost” the
board, from the oldest to the youngest.
“I seen it” everywhere! “If it’s any constellation,”
“its” all around us. Though “yous
guys” may wonder what difference it makes,
I feel as though “a whole nother” language is
being used. I “must of ” missed that English
(not quite 101) class. I “should of went” or at
the very least, spent a few more hours at the
“liberry.”
I know I find it very “fustrating” when
asked by someone if I would like “these
ones” or “those ones.” “One” goes with this,
not with these or those. When did “‘your’
welcome” get replaced by “no problem” (oh!
I hadn’t thought it WAS a problem) or better
yet, “no worries” which could imply that
something is a PITA (not bread), but the person
is dealing with it anyway. Then “theirs”
“I’m good” instead of “no, thank you.”
So, let’s see … where am I “at”? I’m nearing
the list of responses I received to my
English pet peeves post. But there are more,
such as when to use “I” or “me.” If “I” can
stand alone, use “I.” “Dad and I are going to

used to hearing, “She is taller than me” that
is incorrect. You wouldn’t say, “She is taller

than I am” and though saying “She is taller
than I” sounds odd, it is accurate.

that I would wait until they’d asked me something

wait, not moving. Eventually they understood

FOLK Society announces 2012 grant awards
BY MERYL E. WILLETT
VILLAGER STAFF WRITER
KILLINGLY — On Wednesday,
March 14, the Friends of Learning
in Killingly (FOLK) Society held
its 13th annual reception at
Killingly Town Hall and
announced eight 2012 grant
awards totaling $2,990 to Killingly
educators.
Grants were awarded to
Marilyn Salisbury of Killingly
Memorial School, Rachelle Mauer
of Killingly Central School and
Killingly Memorial School, Carol
Records of Killingly Central
School and Killingly Memorial
School, Misty Crowley of
Killingly Intermediate School,
Laura Gencarella and her collaborators
Kimberly Shepherd,
Lorraine McLeish and Sandra
Kelly of Killingly Intermediate
School, Steve Craig of Killingly
High School, and David
Minikoswki and Annice Rockwell
of Killingly High School.
The event was hosted by
Greater Worcester Community
Foundation members Kelly
Stimson and Beckley Schowalter,
who administer the fund, and several
FOLK founding members, as
well as other supporters of the
grant recipients, past grantees,
Killingly school administrators,
Superintendent Bill Silver and
members from the Board of
Education.
The FOLK Fund is an educational
endowment fund created in
1998 by classmates and friends of
the KHS Class of 1966. Its purpose
is to inspire the love of learning
in the children and youth of
Killingly through the awarding of
mini-grants that support innovative
projects in Killingly schools.
2000 marked its first year of grant
making, with four grants totaling
$935. Since its inception, the
FOLK Fund has awarded nearly
$29,000 through 90 grants, according
to FOLK Advisory Committee
Chair Janice Ahola-Sidaway.
Sidway said FOLK has given
funding for projects that focused
on literacy, numeracy, science, art,
environmental education, service
learning, citizenship education,
technology, business, communication,
career planning, health, personal
care, interpersonal skills,
history and cultural studies.
Several grants this year went in
support of literacy initiatives taking
place next summer. Librarian
Carol Records received two $250
grants — one each for Killingly
Central School and Killingly
Memorial School — to help pay for
presentations by Chris Colter of
Mad Science of Southeastern
Connecticut at each school’s
September Celebration Assembly
for students participating in the
Connecticut Governor’s Summer
Reading Challenge.
“The students are familiar with
Mad Science Assemblies and love
them,” explained Records.
Marilyn Salisbury will use her
$640 grant to buy and distribute
books for 80 Killingly Memorial
School struggling readers in
kindergarten to Grade 3 to help
combat literacy regression during
the summer months. Rachelle
Mauer plans to use her $250 grant
for communication materials for
use with Killingly Central School
and Killingly Memorial School
students who have Autism
Spectrum Disorders. She hopes to
create a summer program of several
weeks for students within
this special population where she
would use these curriculum supplies.
Killingly Intermediate School
teacher Misty Crowley was awarded
a $500 grant to purchase four
Kindle readers and eBooks to
motivate and engage reluctant
readers and English language
learners in her science classes.
“Kindle’s text-to-speech audio
function will help address the
challenges of students’ language
barriers, and lack of reading fluency,”
she said. “We have a student
who just moved here this
year from Brazil; I see this as a
great way to transition her from
reading in Spanish to English literature.”
Crowley plans to also foster student
governance in managing the
use of the Kindles.
“My students will be involved in
deciding what titles we download,”
she said, “and they will also
help create the set of standards,

11th Annual ‘Irish Night’ fundraiser a success
EVENT NETS $9K FOR GRANDPARENTS RAISING GRANDCHILDREN PROGRAM

WOODSTOCK — The pot of gold at the
end of the rainbow for Lu-Ann and Kevin
Cunningham on St. Patrick’s Day was
receiving the news they’d made the winning
bid for an African safari trip, in a
silent auction to benefit United Services’
Grandparents Raising Grandchildren
Program.
More than 90 community members gathered
for the 11th annual “Irish Night”
fundraiser at the Inn at Woodstock Hill
March 17 that boasted more than 25 auction
items — including the African safari
and a signed baseball by Red Sox pitcher
Daniel Bard — and raised $9,000 for the
program.
“It keeps you young,” said United
Services domestic violence program coordinator
Mary Allard of caring for grandchildren
while in the twilight years of life.
She and her husband Bob have raised
three of their grandchildren, and have
recently taken in a 2-year-old great-grandchild.
She said the Grandparents Raising
Grandchildren Program is a huge support
system for those who might not otherwise
have one.
“I see other grandparents in their 80s
who are making it, and it lets me know I
will be able to make it,” said Allard, who is
in her 60s.
For the grandparents, she said, it’s about
keeping families together where grandchildren
might otherwise be put into the
care of the state.
According to United Services, the program
relies on fundraising and donations
for funding.
“Irish Night” Master of
Ceremonies Jonathan Duvall
took a break from the
evening’s jokes, festivity and
camaraderie to speak sincerely
about the importance
of the program, stating that
it is invaluable for both the
grandparents and grandchildren.
“It’s difficult for the grandparents,
who are in their twilight
years and are being
asked to do what a 20-something
would be doing. We all
make mistakes,” Duvall said]
of why the children end up
with their grandparents and
not with their own. “These
grandparents are the ones
taking responsibility, even
though age can make it difficult.”

the grandchildren, who get to interact
with one another and know they aren’t the
only ones who have a different family
structure than the average.
“It’s more difficult than raising your
own children,” added Allard. “Because
there is a greater responsibility.”

Senate Bill 24 a
mixed blessing for
school districts
Editor’s Note: Richard Murray, first vice president
of the Connecticut Association of Boards of

of Education, delivered the following testimony to
the Legislature’s Education Committee in
response to Senate Bill 24, Gov. Dannel Malloy’s

FRANK G. CHILINSKI
PRESIDENT & PUBLISHER
ADAM MINOR
EDITOR
Sen. Stillman, Rep.
Fleishmann, I am Richard
Murray, first vice president of
the Connecticut Association
of Boards of Education and a
member of the Killingly
Board of Education. We
appreciate the opportunity to
address you on those aspects
of the governor’s budget proposals which impact
elementary and secondary education.
In general, CABE is supportive of the budget
proposal, which, despite challenging economic
times, provides for the first increase in the
Education Cost Sharing grant in five years. We
are concerned however, that in “non-conditional”
districts ECS aid is added to the Board of
Education budget only at the discretion of the
municipality. This significantly weakens the
intended impact of providing resources to better
support our public schools. Given the multitude
of new requirements, which are included in the
governor’s reform package, including implementation
of an extensive teacher and administrator
evaluation and support system, it is
imperative that districts receive these education
dollars.
CABE is very supportive of the proposal to fund
an additional 500 children in school readiness
programs. It is clear that access to quality
preschool programs is a critical component of
closing the achievement gap. We must recognize
that 500 new slots is a small piece of the total
need, and we urge you to make a multiyear commitment
to each the goal of access to a quality
early childhood program for all needy students.
Killingly, for example, has a waiting list of 100
children for our preschool programs. To make
matters worse, full-day kindergarten was eliminated
last year due to budget constraints.
CABE opposes the requirement that public
schools fund $1,000 per pupil for those students
who attend charter schools. Charter schools are
authorized and approved by the state, and the
funding for them should remain a state responsibility.
It is important that we continue to honor
the choices made by those students and families
who elect to remain in a traditional public
school setting. Diverting education dollars to
charter schools will result in a reduction in programs
for those students who have made a different
choice.
While we respect the comments recently made
by Secretary of the Office of Policy and
Management Ben Barnes that this budget proposal
was unable to accommodate an increase in
funding for the special education excess cost
grant, we must point out that the cap on this critical
grant imposes a significant burden on
school districts and forces them to make additional
cuts in regular education programs to
accommodate the rising special education costs
and the lack of funding increases from the state
and federal government. Since 2010, the number
of teachers has been reduced by almost 12 percent,
and administrators by over 17 percent
because of budget woes in Killingly. One consequence
of these staff reductions is that money
dedicated to Special Ed is now consuming over
26 percent of the annual budget. These funds are
dedicated to just 13.9 percent of the total student
population in the district. The Board of Ed was
recently forced to request an additional $500,000
from the town because of a Special Ed shortfall
due to eight students with out-of-district placement
moving into town. We urge you to remove
the cap as quickly as possible.
CABE strongly opposes the proposal to reduce
the Education Cost Sharing grant for
Connecticut school districts with 1,000 students
or less whose per pupil expenditure exceeds the
statewide average. There are a multitude of reasons
that districts — regardless of size — have
expenditures that exceed the statewide average.
When we look at the districts with 1,000 students
or less, we see average per pupil expenditures
that range from $10,870 to $19,546. Many of the
districts in this category fall well below the state
average in 2008-09 of $13,607. Rather than establish
an arbitrary penalty, where the data does not
show that the size of district bears a relationship
to per pupil expenditure, we would support
incentives for school districts to explore collaboration
or consolidation, if that is in the best educational
interests of their students. Particularly
at a time where we talk about a more personalized
style of learning, which is often a strength
of small school districts.
In conclusion, I would like to commend Gov.
Malloy for pushing the issue of education to the
forefront in Connecticut. It is up to us to make
sure every child receives an adequate education,
whether they reside in one of our cities or up in
the Quiet Corner.
We appreciate your attention to these issues.
Thank you, and good luck.
OPINION
Opinion and commentary from the Quiet Corner
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Bissonnette: Brooklyn land purchase is not a good idea
To the Editor:
On the comment made in Brooklyn First
Selectman Austin Tanner’s letter to the editor
about gossip at local coffee houses: Since when
are citizens not allowed to discuss local or any
other town, state or government issues in public
places? I was misled by him on the cleanup cost
of the Ross property. He said on Monday at the
Town Hall it would be $75,000, which I said was
way out of line. At least five times that amount,
I was right! Then I found out from a member of
a commission, he told all commissions it was
between $200,000 and $300,000. Two misleading
statements made by him as to cleanup costs.
On Thursday of that week at the middle school
informational public meeting, the number
changed again to $12,000 to remove only one
building. Sounds like we’re doing it peace-meal,
leaving three more buildings to be removed, at a
later date. That cost does not include removal of
the foundation. Where is the remainder of the
cleanup cost going to come from in the future?
The property is overpriced as it is, and not the
most desirable piece of property in town, leaving
many drawbacks. Easements, right-of-ways,
wetlands and 50-foot drops; of the 55 (plus or
minus) acres, only about 30 percent would be
useable. It’s a big price to pay just to connect to
the school and Prince Hill property.
Also, no plot plan that the owner, Mr. Ross,
should supply us with information needed. This
Sound Off:
Thompson’s superintendent of schools, Dr.
Michael Jolin, recently testified in front of the
Senate Education Committee’s hearing on
Senate Bill 24 regarding education reform. A
link to video of this testimony can be found on
the Thompson Public School’s website.
Dr. Jolin was testifying about Thompson’s performance-based
pay system for administrators.
Dr. Jolin presented this system as a model system
and that he hoped it would serve as “a pilot
for other districts.”
During his testimony Dr. Jolin presented
what, in the kindest of terms, can only be
referred to as half-truths. His motivation for
portraying this system in such glowing terms, a
system he developed to reward administrators,
is self-serving at best. However, my interest is in
presenting the whole truth and correcting the
superintendent’s omissions.
Half-truth: Dr. Jolin states that when the
school district was searching for a new director
of special services, of the “over 100 teachers in
the district, not one wanted to step forward into
the administrative ranks.”
Truth: Of the over 100 teachers in the district,
less than 10 hold the 092 administrator certificate
required for the Director of Special
Services position. Of those with a 092 certification,
even fewer have the special education
background that would be expected of a serious
applicant for that position. So, in reality, we are
taking about a pool of two or three teachers who
could have made a reasonable application for
the job, not 100.
Sound Off:
Yesterday afternoon, Monday, March 19, the
Connecticut Department of Transportation was
mowing the sides of Route 12 in North
Grosvenordale.
As everyone knows there is not a blade of
is customary in today’s transactions to be able to
see boundaries and all other important facts. Mr.
Ross is planning to keep the frontage so he is
sub-dividing his holding into two separate
pieces, which will require an A2 survey. Ask Mr.
Tanner if the state requires him to supply an A2
survey when he sold his development right to
the State of Connecticut?
The committee is trying to make us believe the
yearly payment would be $70,000 per year. Not so;
you need to add the taxes and insurance to that
amount, which would be close to $80,000 per year.
We do not need this property. We already own
over 300 acres around town. Whatever I state in
this article is based on facts, not hearsay, as he
referred to. My experience in the building and
development spans 44 years, my own business
and commercial superintendent.
There are three farms that sold their development
rights in the past years, amounting to
about 700 or 800 acres, plus state land. We now
have some 1,200 acres in development protection
at this time.
It’s up to the voters as to the course of action
we should take.
Our taxes are high enough now!
LEONARD G. BISSONNETTE
BROOKLYN
Superintendent’s testimony to Senate full of ‘half-truths’
Half-truth: Dr. Jolin proposed that the reason
no teachers had applied for the director of special
services position is because compensation
between teachers and administrators is so close
that it wasn’t attractive enough to our teachers.”
Truth: The difference between the average
teacher salary in Thompson and the average
administrator salary is approximately $50,000.
I’ll let you decide if that is “attractive enough.”
Half-truth: Administrators receive their performance-based
pay bonus based 50 percent on
evaluation and 50 percent on goals related to student
test scores.
Half-truth: When asked by Sen. Andres
Stillman about the success of his performancebased
pay system, Dr. Jolin responded that the
success has been in retaining administrators,
and that since the program has been in place he
has not lost one administrator” to another district.
Truth: That is not for a lack of trying.
Applications have been made for principalships
in other districts. These administrative
attempts to leave Thompson have simply been
unsuccessful, not nonexistent.
I don’t fault the administrators for participating
in this program, nor am I absolutely
opposed to such a system. However, I believe
that it is time for the Town of Thompson and,
more specifically, the Board of Education to
start taking a closer look at what the superintendent
is promoting as a model system for other
districts to follow and why Dr. Jolin felt it necessary
to present this program in such a misleading
way.
Mowing area with no grass ‘colossal waste’ of money
grass to be found anywhere. There is an enormous
amount of litter, which they can’t be bothered
with.
Someone should be held accountable for this
colossal waste of taxpayers’ money.
Old Killingly Pond should be opened up for swimming
SOUND OFFS
Sound Off:
I live in the town of Dayville, which is in
Killingly. I am calling because there is something
that has been on my mind for a while.
Killingly does not have a place to go swimming.
They have Hygeia Reservoir up on Valley
Road that you have to pay for. It is only open certain
hours of the day. The water is brown and
disgusting.
There is Old Killingly Pond, which is gorgeous.
I feel that it should be open to the
Killingly residents only. Maybe charge a small
fee if you have to get lifeguards and everything
that you need to open the place back up.

Signs of
springtime
Ithought I was getting the
jump on spring by raking
out the vegetable garden
and tidying up the edges of
the perennial bed on a breezy
March afternoon. The warm
sun felt good on my back, and
as our two
dogs and one
cat lazed on
the deck, I let
my imagination
wander
to all that I
would plant
this year.
My reverie
was interrupted
by the
NANCY WEISS
steady hum
of a big wasp
warning me to get out of his
territory. He had been up and
at ‘em for some time and didn’t
welcome my presence. He
headed for my neck at breakneck
speed.
I ceded the area to the wasp
and began raking a bumpy
pile of mulch scattered thickly
at the base of a picky Rosa
Rugosa. I planted several
bushes years ago in memory
of my grandmother.
Although I never knew the
woman, my mother characterized
her as thornier than
the bushes she used to make
rose hip tea.
Perhaps this year, I’ll harvest
the rose hips, I thought
dreamily, until I noticed that
the soil looked like the surface
of the moon — lumpy,
tossed up and full of intriguing
tunnels. The mild winter
and early spring had given a
colony of voles the chance to
create a masterpiece of engineering.
It seems cruel to step on
their maze of tunnels that
wend through my flowerbed.
No wonder the cat sits for
hours staring into the garden.
He’ll take care of any
foolish voles that cross his
path.
Spring once meant that the
air was filled with the smell
of manure being spread on
fields. Creeping down a country
road behind a manure
truck used to make my children
gag. Now when I catch a
pungent whiff, I welcome the
odor. It is a sign that our
region still has a vibrant
dairy industry.
Soon my neighbor will put
his cattle out on pasture
when the grass is a deep,
nutritious green. As I drive
by, the animals often lift their
heavy heads to note my passing.
If I am lucky, I may catch
sight of a huge cow kicking
up her rear legs like a calf in
celebration of spring. Her joy
will waft into my car with
nearly as much impact as the
smell of manure.
Spring officially begins this
year on March 20 and ends on
June 19, and has more to do
with light than temperature.
The vernal equinox means
that day and night are
approximately 12 hours long.
The sun rises due east and
sets due west. From my
kitchen counter, I can watch
it rise in a spot far different
from where it was just a week
ago.
The orderliness of nature is
exquisite and follows its prescribed
path regardless of
how we think about it. Spring
is not earlier or later. It is
always when it should be.
The wood frogs began
croaking as soon as the temperature
began to rise. The
peepers made their presence
know a few days ago.
Daffodils are beginning to
bloom. The advantage I
thought I had of getting ready
ahead of full-blown spring
has disappeared.
March is the month when
we are swept toward light and
growth. The poet, Emily
Dickenson, wrote: “Dear
March, come in! How glad I
am! I looked for you before.
Put down your hat- You must
have walked- How out of
breath you are!”
As I catch my breath while
leaning on a rake, I can see
countless other living things
are way ahead of me in welcoming
spring.

audiometric booth to DKH
the
PUTNAM — Day Kimball Healthcare
recently acknowledged a refurbished audiometric
booth that was donated to the organization
by International Paper of Putnam
with a dedication plaque. The audiometric
booth is a soundproof room designed for safe
and accurate hearing tests.
“We’re pleased that Day Kimball is able to
make use of the audiometric booth,” said
Casey Delleney, plant general manager at
International Paper. International Paper
requires all new hires to have pre-employment
hearing tests and then annual tests to
ensure proper equipment is in place for hearing
conservation. They had been conducting
these tests internally and decided it was
more efficient to outsource this testing, as it
requires medical oversight by a licensed professional.
The equipment has been sitting
idle at International Paper for several years.

chapter, not only president, but she created
monthly newsletters, coordinated and
attended every chapter function,” said
Board of Education Chairwoman Alexis
Rich. “The chapter has been a wonderful
ambassador for Killingly High School and
has helped the school to shine.”
Samantha and fellow member Jarrod
Hawes are graduating seniors this year.
Samantha is applying to Rhode Island
University and Brown University to pursue
a career in environmental law, while Jarrod
plans on entering the construction field
post-high school.
“I loved my experience,” Jarrod said. “I
almost wish I could stay back and do another
year with the chapter. It’s something I’ll
remember for a long time.”
Samantha, who was in her third year of
participating in the chapter, explained the
chapter was involved with many community
services projects.
“We built a lemonade stand to raise
money for people suffering for cancer,
benches for the homeless shelter, we raked
leaves, put on a coat drive, backpack drive,
food drive. I mean, we did a ton of stuff,”
Samantha said.
Jacon Darveou will be assuming the role
of president of the chapter for next year.
“I’m looking forward to it, but this past
year has been really great,” Jacon said.

The class and the chapter combined have
a membership of approximately 27 students
who attend meetings, volunteer efforts and
other chapter functions.
“It was a wonderful experience,”
Samantha said. “I’ll always remember it. It
was really great for me.”
The chapter raised money to attend the
competition in Florida, explained Beland,
who has served as advisor for the past six
years. She said that in 2011 the chapter
placed third.

The audiometric booth is more than 15
years old, and required refurbishing and calibration
before being used on employees. The
Day Kimball Healthcare facilities team was
able to make all necessary upgrades to the
equipment and now it is ready for use in
Plainfield. A commemorative plaque was
affixed to the machine acknowledging
International Paper’s donation.
According to Christine Vallee, vice president
of physician services, “We truly appreciate
the donation by International Paper as
this will be an important service to offer and
provide to local businesses.”
She continued, “With a small investment to
refurbish the equipment as well as the hard
work of our facilities team, we are now able
to provide employee hearing test services in
Northeast Connecticut.”
“Now that Day Kimball offers occupational
health services at their Plainfield Healthcare
Center, it made sense for us to donate the
equipment so that we can send employees to
their convenient location on Lathrop Road,”

Local legislative delegation attends Chamber of Commerce breakfast
CHAMBER
continued from page A1
Chamber member Donald St. Onge, and
administrator at the Center for Bone and
Joint Care, facilitated the event, providing
those in attendance an opportunity to ask
questions before hearing responses from the
legislators.
“While we are known as the Quiet Corner
we do like to be heard in Hartford, and that’s
the reason for today’s breakfast,” said event
sponsor Don King of DW King and Company.
Government officials in attendance were
Mike Alberts of the 50th District, Senate
President Pro Tem Donald Williams of the
29th District, Danny Rovero of the 51st
District, Mae Flexer of the 44th District and
Sen. Anthony Guglielmo of the 35th District.
Peter Deary expressed his opposition and
questioned the validity of the proposed minimum
wage increase during the breakfast.
“It’s hard to believe after the highest tax
increase in the state of Connecticut last year,
and with economic times as they are with a
lot of small businesses barley floating above
water, you’re going to increase the minimum
tax on minimum wages,” Deary said. “It
doesn’t make sense right now.”
Others questioned the Gross Receipts Tax
on gasoline, stating the tax has been brought
up before the Legislature numerous times
without a change in the end result. With
Connecticut currently at 5.2 percent, if the
new amount were to be enacted that figure
would rise to 7 or 8 percent.
“We are already at 24 cents per gallon while
every other state is between two and three,”

Deary said. “It just doesn’t make sense. If you
stop taxing us and spending too much money
we won’t need your help.”
Jake Burke followed up and commented
that “we can’t keep adding expenses to people
and expect them to stay in the state when
they are crossing the border to do their grocery
shipping, gas and alcohol purchases.”
Connecticut is ranked 47th out of 50 in the
“Best States for Business,” according to
Forbes Magazine.
Ken Cardinal, who operates a small chain
of coffee shops in the area, stated the proposed
hike to the minimum wage would
greatly affect a business like his.
“In one swoop we’re looking at $65,000 to
$75,000 a year,” Cardinal said. “It’s impossible
to recoup through price changing.”
St. Onge identified the main points raised
by those in attendance and posed those questions
to the legislators, starting with the
impact of the minimum wage on small businesses.
“I am on the Labor Committee. I have
mixed feelings about it,” Guglielmo said. “I
sit there through all the public hearings. I
agree that for startup jobs, in a lot of cases
you have folks where this is not a startup
wage but where they will be for the rest of
their lives, so I have mixed feelings. I don’t
like being out too far in front of it. It’s a hard
decision.”
The question pertaining to the Gross
Receipts Tax was directed to Rovero, who
responded to Deary’s questions.
“Most of you know I am against almost any
tax,” Rovero said. “I went to a meeting in
Massachusetts, and gas was $3.69 a gallon.

On the way to Hartford it was $3.99. If you
want to keep business in Connecticut we
have to be competitive. It’s a tax, and yes, we
need the money for the roads, but most of the
money doesn’t go into that fund.” Alberts
said he felt improving the business environment,
and the economic environment for
businesses to do well, is the most important.
“I’m concerned about the state’s tax system
and particularly the taxes on petroleum,” he
said. “The combination makes Connecticut
inefficient. I’ve heard a lot of concern from
my constituents about Gov. Malloy’s proposals
and what they will mean to the work

Freshmen may play pivotal role for Ellis Tech golf team
BY BENJAMIN R. KIPP
SPORTS CORRESPONDENT
KILLINGLY — Head Ellis Tech boys’ golf
coach Mike Daigle, now in his 15th year, feels
like he’s starting all over again. Last season
Daigle graduated five seniors from his team,
and this year he’s got one junior, one sophomore
and nine freshmen trying out.
“The team I started four years ago I started
like this team is starting,” said Daigle. “It’s
going to make for a really interesting season.”
Dave Perron is the lone junior and is slated
as the team captain as well as one of two players
with varsity experience.
“I expect Dave to shoot in the high 30s [or]
low 40s. His goal is to shoot par,” said Daigle.
“He’s the captain and he’s had to play like a
captain. I’ve already got him helping me out
with the freshmen. I expect a lot from him.”
Matt Snay returns for his sophomore season
and has some varsity experience. Daigle
is looking for Snay to shoot in the low 40s by
season’s end.
“He joined the team last year because his
brother came out for the team and I took his
brother from a non golfer and I’m hoping to
do the same with him,” said Daigle. “His
brother was a pretty good player and I’m hoping
he can turn into a good golfer like his
brother.”
Daigle’s approach coaching nine freshmen
is different than the past two years where
he’s had seasoned veterans.
“It’s hard to take kids on the course that
have never played before,” said Daigle. “I’ve
got patience with them and I try to teach
them golf etiquette, golf courtesy and not
walking in the path of the ball on the green.”
Helping Daigle as an assistant coach this
season is Derek Hoss, who is going to community
college at Quinebaug Valley. When
Daigle asked him to help out he signed up
without hesitation.
“He played for me last season and he comes
in to visit me all the time in school, so I asked
him to help me,” Daigle said. “[Hoss] said,
‘Mr. Daigle, I’ll help you as much as I can,’ so
at least he can get out and play and coach the
kids with me. It was good to have him come
out and help me.”
Daigle teaches masonry at Ellis Tech and
just like his masonry team shoots for number
one, he expects his golf team to do the same,
but he knows it won’t be easy to get them
quickly up to par.
“I taught them hand grip, how to move
their shoulders,” said Daigle. “I want to help
these kids to develop and the sport of golf
teaches a lot of stuff.”
Daigle nicknamed freshman Brad Messier
“Happy Gilmore” for the way he hit the ball
in the brief practice time they’ve had.
Messier’s father was a student and golfer of
Daigle’s back in 1990 and now he’s coaching
his son.
“Brad is an auto body guy, and he’s hitting
the ball pretty good for a freshman, and he’s
played a little bit,” said Daigle. “I told him we
can’t play golf like that, but I think he’ll be
good for the team.”
Owens owns school records,
advances to Nationals
Kopacz helps carry Tigers to
postseason tournaments
BY BENJAMIN R. KIPP
SPORTS CORRESPONDENT
WOODSTOCK — Head Woodstock
Academy indoor track coach Chris Dodge
had some moderate expectations for senior
sprinter Keith Owens. As the season continued,
Dodge’s expectations were evidently
too low as Owens proved his coach wrong in
every event.
“Since I’ve been a track coach, I feel he’s
had the single greatest season in Woodstock
Academy indoor track history,” said Dodge.
“What he ended up doing this year, the word
amazing doesn’t even come close to describing
it.”
From the Eastern Connecticut
Conference (ECC) meet to the Connecticut
Interscholastic Athletic Conference (CIAC)
class meet and state open and even onto
Nationals, Owens’ season was almost unbelievable.
“It wasn’t just the accomplishments, but
what led to the accomplishments,” said
Dodge. “I sat down with him at the beginning
of the season and we went over goals
and his goals were just a lot more higher
than mine.”
Owens pulled the double-double of winning
the 55-meter and 300-meter dashes at
the ECC meet. Owen’s time of 6.74 seconds
in the 55 is a school record.
“I was pretty excited and pretty pumped I
won both events at ECC,” said Owens. “I
was also pumped I got the 55-meter dash
record at the school as well. I set my goals
early to go to Nationals, even before the season
started.”
Owens followed his double-double performance
with a fifth place finish in the 55-
meter dash and a third place finish in the
300-meter dash at the CIAC Class L meet.
Owens ran his best time of 36.42 seconds in
the 300, which was .08 seconds off the school
record.
At the state open meet Owens finished
13th in the 55 and eighth in the 300. Based
on his times, Owens advanced to Nationals
in New York City.
“He brought it to the state meet,” said
Dodge. “He ran an amazing race in the 300.
The kids that beat him also made it to
Courtesy photos
Woodstock Academy senior Keith Owens dominated
the sprinting events this winter during the
indoor track season. Owens eventually raced in
Nationals, participating in the 200-meter dash.
Nationals as well. It was just an awesome
feeling.”
For Owens and Dodge, it was a goal both
wanted to see get accomplished.
“We did a lot of technical work and he cut
nearly three seconds off his 300 time, which
is an eternity in track,” said Dodge.
Owens agreed with his coach, saying, “I
was determined. I know he had goals for me
to do well at both state meets. When we
talked he didn’t seem like he had faith in
me. It was like he almost doubted me and he
didn’t.”
At the National meet, Owens had the
choice of running in the 55 or the 200.
Dodge and Owens opted for the 200 because
it fit his style of running better.
During the preliminary race, Owens did
something out of his normal routine.
“I put my shirt on backwards because I
wanted the kids to know who beat them,”
said Owens.
During the race Owens set the indoor
school record by running the 200 in 22.9 seconds.
“I was kind of nervous, but I wasn’t worried
either,” said Owens. “It’s pretty cool,
I’m happy with myself because there is not
a lot of kids that get a chance at Nationals.”
Owens plans on running outdoor track
this spring.

THOMPSON — Finishing the season with
a 14-8 overall record on the surface seems
like a successful year for the Tourtellotte
boys’ basketball team. Taking a deeper
look, though, getting 14 wins wasn’t
the expectation of head coach Tony
Falzarano.
“It wasn’t enough,” he said. “I
felt a little disappointed and I
felt we could have won a few
more games, especially in
the Eastern Connecticut
Conference
and
C o n n e c t i c u t
Interscholastic Athletic
Conference tournament.”
Falzarano was disappointed
with the lack of
wins, but he was happy
with the fact that the
team did accomplish
some high achievements.
Senior Eddie Kopacz
earned his 1,000th point
this winter and finished
with 1,258 career points.
For the second straight
season, the Tigers won the
Clipper Classic, and also
this season they were able to
win the Eastern Connecticut
Conference (ECC) small division
title.
The Tigers lacked a true center
and although Kopacz filled the role
this season, in reality he is more of a
shooting guard or forward. Without a true
inside presence Tourtellotte became an
easy matchup on defense.
“We didn’t have a center to hold teams
down low, which gave the opposition ways
to play defense on us that put more pressure
on our guards, especially Eddie,” said
Falzarano. “They played every defense
known to mankind on us and it worked. A
center presence was missing.”
Even with teams throwing numerous
defensive schemes at the Tigers, Kopacz got
his touches and scored. In games where
Kopacz didn’t touch the ball, especially in
the final two games where it was tough for
him to get his shot off, the Tigers lost.
“He basically carried us,” said Falzarano.
“Between our four and five position we
averaged just under five points per
game.”
Evan Majercik was the team’s
top defender and usually drew
the opposition’s best offensive
player. Senior guard
Evan Touchette averaged
9 points per game.
“We needed him to
average 12 to 15 points a
game, and for whatever
reason he didn’t,” said
Falzarano.
The biggest improvements
this season
were sophomores
Shawn Houle and
Keavon Stafford.
“Stafford missed getting
first team ECC by
only one vote, while
Shawn was the team’s
second best shooter,
ball-handler and can go
to the basket,” said
Falzarano.
Kopacz led the team in
scoring and was one of the
area’s best scorers, and will be
missed by Falzarano.
“I’m going through withdrawals
like I did for Tommy Espinosa, Peter
Vitale, Jeff Bousquet, Andrew Vitale and
Kyle Leeman,” said Falzarano of other
notable players. “You don’t realize how good
he really is and how valuable he is to our
team.”
Kopacz was a unanimous first team All-
ECC selection as well as one of the five best
Class S players in all of Connecticut.
Kopacz will be playing in an All-Star game
in Meriden in front of college coaches.
Falzarano was thankful for assistant
coaches Neil Bernier, Scott Coderre and
Colin Purdon.
Despite record, Walley impressed with Woodstock’s commitment

SPORTS CORRESPONDENT
WOODSTOCK — Starting the season by winning their
first two games, the Woodstock Academy girls’ basketball
team thought earning a trip to the Eastern Connecticut
Conference and Connecticut Interscholastic Athletic
Conference tournaments would almost be a given. But in its
next five games against much tougher opponents the
Centaurs went 0-5 before a 51-25 win against Wheeler.
Woodstock Academy was now 3-5 but finished the season
with a 5-15 overall record.
“I’d really hoped that as a group we’d be able to take a step
above where we were last year,” said Centaurs head coach
Dave Walley. “I was disappointed with our season from a
record standpoint.”
Walley felt the offense was lacking a crucial and necessary
ingredient. Three losses by a combined 12 points kept
WA from postseason play. A one-point loss to Windham,
three-point loss to Fitch, and eight-point loss to Stonington
were all games the Centaurs would like to get back.
“We lacked offensive firepower,” said Walley. “Lindsay
Weigand was a consistent scorer for us. Other than that we
didn’t have a consistent offensive player.”
There were many games where Julia Olesky, Julia Lowe
and Bridgett Matsas would score, but there wasn’t enough
consistency throughout the season.
Weigand averaged 14 points and 10 rebounds a game for a
regular double-double as the top offensive player.
“She had a really nice season for us this year,” said Walley.
“She took a step forward this year and I saw some development
in her game this season.”
Matsas was the team’s only ball-handler that had the ability
to break through the opposition’s pressure. When
Matsas went out of the game, the team lacked a legitimate
point guard.
Between the offense having the potential to be sluggish
and Matsas being the team’s only ball-handler, Walley knew
the Lady Centaurs were in a tough position.
“I knew we were going to have to play games in the low 40s
for us to win,” he said. “If we faced a team that scored in the
high 40s and into the 50s I felt it would be tough for us to
score at that level.”
One thing Walley liked about his group was how well the
team got along all season despite having a disappointing
year.
“They did a lot of things outside basketball, and it was
nice to be around a group that really enjoys each other so
much,” he said. “It was a pleasure to coach them in that
regard, which was a real strength.”
Taylor Little and Galina Gurder were two freshmen that
played some varsity minutes this past season.
“I’m hoping that the freshmen group coupled with the
strong core of juniors that we have can mesh together so we
can be a stronger team,” said Walley. “They definitely
showed they were capable of playing at the varsity level.”
Without question Walley felt the team played hard all season
long.
“It’s easy to get frustrated when you’re losing games,” he
said. “They were willing to work hard and play hard in
every game and I was very pleased with that.”

Quinebaug Valley dispatch center moves into new home
DISPATCH
continued from page A1
Agriculture at 4 percent interest and an additional $1 million through an annual subsidy
program with the state allowed QVEC to use local non-state funds at a 50 percent match
against the acquisition to pay for equipment not covered by already saved money.
As for the features of the state-of-the-art dispatch center, Otto noted that QVEC is now the
first 100-percent digital 911 office in the state of Connecticut.
“All dispatchers will have to turn over to digital in 2014, so by doing it now we will bear no
additional expense and will serve as a model for the rest of the state,” said Otto.
By becoming digital the office is also prepared when other dispatching units turn over to
digital radio, as the state is moving toward completely switching from analog to digital
radio.
“It’s a tremendous infrastructure
investment to change
from analog to digital radio,”
Otto explained. “Now we can
help other entities in the state
learn how to do that as well.”
By becoming a digital 911 dispatch
center, QVEC will have
evolved, bringing the establishment
up to speed with current
technologies being used. Otto
said that people who want to
report incidents by text message
or send pictures of an
emergency are now able to do
so.
“We took early ’60s technology
and advancing it to this century
for the first time in the
state,” said Otto.
The new center went live at
3:30 p.m. Wednesday, March 14 and has been fully functional and accepting calls ever since.

space is one of the greatest benefits to
moving into the new building.
“I’ve been with the organization since 1989 and we’ve been in the barracks since 1975. We
are very excited to be here,” DonFrancisco said. “Having the space to operate and the possibility
to add additional space if it were ever needed, those things are now possible.”
The new building includes a conference room for meetings and training sessions, bunk
rooms, and a mechanical and electrical room. It is backed up by a 150-kilowatt backup generator
with automatic start transfer.
“Within 10 seconds of the power dropping the entire facility can function off of the backup
generator,” Otto said. “We have a backup battery system so that before the generator even
starts we can carry the full load of the data room and the dispatch office.”
The dispatch office houses six operation positions and provides resources that aid in monitoring
first responder agencies.
“There is a secure Internet-based tool allowing for us to monitor their staffing,” explained
Technical Operations Manager Charles Kelleher. “Some agencies are 100 percent volunteer,
so when first responders are responding to a call they can dial a pre-designated number, put
in a one or a two that will signify if they are going to the scene or station, and the information
comes up on the web application providing the name, certification, where they are
going, and estimated time of arrival.”
The new facility is well received by all of the staff at the QVEC dispatch center. Otto said
he is very pleased with the new facility’s functionality, but noted Troop D was very gracious
and helpful to the dispatchers throughout its 37 years of sharing space.

Chase is still entertaining audiences
with great songs, exceptional instrumentation,
delightful humor, and musical
integrity.
Born in Lowell, Mass., Dick spent his early
dance band. Later on it was Texas
swing with a five-piece band called
“Dixie Peach.” Several years later it was a
blues band called “Chasin’ the Blues.” Lately
his focus has been on Irish music with his
years in an Irish-Scottish neighborhood and group “The Millboys.” “The Millboys”
later in a Jewish neighborhood. Lowell and its
many different ethnic cultures, each with
their individual musical traditions was a
huge influence on him. As a teenager he
soaked up the music he heard coming from
the homes and shops in his neighborhood. At
night he would listen to the Boston area radio
stations that were playing traditional music
like WCOP, where he first hear bluegrass, and
WBOS, where he first heard blues, rhythm
and blues and jazz. The songs he first heard in
his hometown and then over the airwaves
formed his interest in traditional music, and
would become the foundation for his musical
catalog.
Dick graduated from Massachusetts College
of Art in Boston and soon began a career as an
art teacher at the Tantasqua Regional schools
in Sturbridge. Although he had a career as an
art teacher music has always been his passion.
He shared his love of music with his art
students and every Tuesday afternoon would
host an after school music sessions in his
classroom. These sessions were a big influence
on many kids, and to this day several of
his former students are expressing their own
passion for music thanks to Dick. Two of his
former students, Derick Cummings and Chris

who also plays piano, guitar and bass. Bob
Wellspring is the bands brilliant percussionist
and plays the bodrhan (the traditional Irish
drum), snare drum, spoons, and congas. “The
Mill Boys” have a large repertoire of Irish
music, traditional songs and lively instrumentals
with Dick bringing five instruments to
each performance, including the banjo, guitar,
mandolin, bouzouki and dobro. His new musical
project is “Sligo,” combining the Gaelic
spirit with the modern guitar talents of
Derick Cummings. To see Dick and Derick in
action is to really see the sparks fly.
Over the years Dick has played most every
Irish pub and local venue throughout
Massachusetts. Highlights for him included
opening for Jackson Brown at the Waterfront
Park in Boston, as well as performing at
Concerts on the Hudson with Pete Seeger’s
Clearwater and performing at the New
England Folk Festival.
You can see Dick Chase and The Mill Boys
every Wednesday at McLadden’s Irish Publick
House, 546 Main St., Hampden, Mass., from 6-
9:30 p.m. You’ll also want to check out Dick’s
schedule of upcoming performances listed on
his website at dickchasemusic.com.

Test Your Knowledge Of
History And Geography
(NAPS)
If Steven Spielberg and Peter
Jackson’s rollicking film “The
Adventures of Tintin” has you and your
family dreaming of your own world
travels, here’s a fun quiz to test your
knowledge of some of the exotic locations
portrayed in the movie:
1. Some people visit this African
country for the waters, others for the
history of its ancient Roman and
Islamic sites, the mountains, the desert
or the bargains. Is it (a) Morocco (b)
Tunisia (c) Zaire?
2. This city, which has changed its
name a few times in the last century, is
known for the mysterious twilight of its
White Nights, an extraordinary history
and some of the modern world’s greatest
literature, music and art. Is it (a)
Stockholm (b) St.Petersburg (c)
Quebec?
3. This French- and Dutch-speaking
city, known for an infamous fountain, is
also a great place for the latest in art
and design. Is it (a) Lucerne (b)
Brussels (c) Monte Carlo?
Answers
1. (a) Morocco. You won’t find the fictional
town of Bagghar that Tintin visits
there but Casablanca and
Marrakech are legendary cities that are
worth the trip. (b) St. Petersburg,
Russia, had its name changed to
Petrograd and then Leningrad during
the Soviet era and back again in 1991. 3.
(b) Brussels, the charming capital of
Belgium, is also known for its chocolates
and two world-famous boys. One,
the Manneken Pis, is a fountain sculpted
in the shape of a small boy who is
often dressed in several costumes a
year, including one for Elvis Presley’s
birthday. The other is Tintin, the

around the world.
beloved fictional reporter created by
author and Belgian native Hergé.
The 2012 Golden Globe? ?winning
movie “The Adventures of Tintin” is
now available on Blu-ray and DVD.
Featuring visually stunning motion
capture animation and a thrilling story
filled with nonstop action, the wildly
imaginative journey has been called
“fun for the whole family” by critics.
Racing to uncover the secrets of a
sunken ship that may hold a vast fortune—and
an ancient curse—Tintin
and his faithful dog Snowy are drawn
into a centuries-old mystery as they
outwit a diabolical villain in a breathless
chase around the world. The Bluray/DVD
combo pack includes over 90
minutes of special features that show
how the filmmakers brought the characters
to life and created the magical
and adventure-filled world of Tintin.
