A walk down memory lane GIRL SCOUTS TO GATHER FOR 100TH ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION KERENSA KONESNI VILLAGER STAFF WRITER WOODSTOCK — Girl Scouts, Brownies and Daisies throughout the nation will be celebrating the Girl Scouts of America 100th Anniversary in March, with local Troops gathering at Woodstock Academy to host an art show to join current Scouts with alumnae and former leaders. Founded by Juliette “Daisy” Gordon Low in 1912, the service organization is designed to build the confidence and character of girls, teach them to give back to their communities and to engage in a sisterhood with their peers. Locally, girls from throughout the region will descend on Woodstock Academy on March 2, bearing original works of art and refreshments as they come together for an art show hosted by Brownie Troop 65831. According to Troop Co-Leader Amanda Rice, of Woodstock, girls from the area’s 20 chapters have been asked to create original works of art — be it a collage, sculpture, dance, skit, or painting — that expresses what participation in the service organization means to them. Pieces from each service unit will be selected to be sent to the Girl Scouts 100th Annual Jubilee in Duham, in PUTNAM — Putnam High School recently announced its honor roll for the second quarter of the 2011-2012 school year.

May. The others will appear as a part of the art show in Woodstock, where the girls have also planned activities and will each contribute to the refreshments served. The goal of the event is to bring together several generations of girls and women who have participated in the organization, according to Rice, a school counselor. “It’s amazing to see students I’ve had come to volunteer with the younger girls, to help them earn badges,” she said. No stranger to volunteerism herself, Rice has served organizations like the Hole in the Wall Gang Camp in Ashford, as well as building chicken coops in Haiti. “I wanted my daughter to get involved in community service early on,” she said, “helping those who may not have as much.” Multi-town Troop Leader and Cadette/Senior Troop Deanne Fagan noted that the art exhibition will showcase the work of Girls Scouts from the Wolf Den Service Unit, encompassing the towns of Eastford, Putnam, Pomfret, Thompson and Woodstock. Former Girl Scouts and Leaders are asked to attend the celebration, which will include a “walk down memory lane” of sorts, with “old school” memorabilia, including badges, GRADE 11 High Honors: Rachel Hollingworth, Monica Phongsa, Leslie Prunier.

Jacquelin Lee of Woodstock Rebecca Ernest of Danielson Kristen Rodman of Brooklyn Eastern Connecticut State University WILLIMANTIC — Lynn Maxfield, assistant professor of music at Eastern Connecticut State University, a resident of Woodstock Valley, has been invited to present his research at the 52nd Annual National Association for Teachers of Singing (NATS) National Conference this summer in Orlando, Fla. For more than two years, Maxfield has worked on his research, “Less Is More: Reducing Teacher Input May Lead to Increased Skill Retention.” He conducted the study at Monmouth College, IL, in coordination with faculty at the University of Iowa. The research involved working with voice lesson students who had varying degrees of singing experience. For four weeks, Maxfield used high frequency feedback during the students’ lessons to instruct them on a single piece.

Maxfield followed this technique for eight more weeks, then sent the recordings to a panel of auditors, who rated the quality of the singing without knowing whether the singing came from the high or low frequency feedback weeks. Maxfield’s research found that for younger, more novice singers, improvement in singing technique increased with more instruction. For more experienced singers, however, the opposite was true. Less instruction gave them more opportunity to try their own hypotheses and figure out what worked for their voices. These students performed better during the weeks of low frequency feedback. “It is important for educators to meet the instructional needs of their students, without giving them too much information and inhibiting the learning process,” said Maxfield. “This research has certainly affected my teaching for the better.” WILLIMANTIC — Eastern Connecticut State University recently released its list of full-time students who were named to the fall 2011 PUTNAM HIGH SCHOOL Monday, Feb. 27: Twin hot dogs on a roll with special recipe baked beans, coleslaw.

PUTNAM VILLAGER Friday, February 24, 2012 • A7 What a difference a year makes It was around this time last year that I stood in our home with my hands clasped to my cheeks “Home Alone” style concerned about its structural safety and wondering how on earth I was going to contend with the mess that lay before me without Dad home. Fortunately for us, I was assured that our roof was structurally sound but it took three men two hours to clear a massive build-up of snow and ice off of it. But water is a funny thing and it will seek the path(s) most easily traveled, which for us, ended up being the interior of our home. I tore out the four front interior walls (the lower halves of both the living and dining rooms, and the entire front walls of both a son’s bedroom and the master bedroom), and dragged them out in 30 gallon trash bags or tossed them out of an upstairs window and into a dumpster, depending on which phase of the demolition we are speaking about. And insurance is a funny thing as well – it will pay for the damage to the inside of the home, but it will not cover a single, THE NEW NORMAL LAURA FISHER ANDERSEN solitary dime for the requisite roof replacement, which was done a couple of months ago, in anticipation of another winter of snow and ice, which hopefully wouldn’t be as bad as last year, and has, thus far, turned out not to be. As I write, I look around to see what remains to be done. There isn’t a lot, but it is dirty, dusty work and penciling it in between the goings-on of basic daily life can be a bit challenging when taking on the task of doing some of the repairs oneself. My plan during Dad’s absence last year was to renovate our master bedroom. We live in a home built in the 50’s so we don’t have a walk-in closet or a master bathroom and the water streaming into our room through the roof and front window last year didn’t qualify as one despite its best efforts. Being somewhat of a “do it yourself-er” I mapped out a new floor plan for our room to include that walk-in closet I so desired. When winter dealt its destructive blow, I simply incorporated that plan into the repairs we had no choice but to make. Though the majority of the repairs were done by contractors, I’ve done a bit of it myself, and as a result, I’ve become much more adept at hanging sheetrock, taping, mudding, and sanding, and then repeating the mudding and sanding process where and when necessary. Though it is a very dusty job and has resulted in more frequent use of my inhaler, there is definitely something about standing back and looking at the finished product that brings a sense of pride and accomplishment, despite the amount of time it takes to get it done oneself. Once that is completed, it’s on to priming, painting and installing new flooring throughout the entire second floor. Time. I’ve often said that work expands to fill the time available. I also find that I am far more productive if I have several things to do and not a whole lot of time in which to do them. Homeschooling, taking care of elderly relatives, or simply holding down the fort in Dad’s absence, have occupied the majority of my days over the past several years. I have not had (or perhaps I simply haven’t taken) the time to seek out employment that would allow me the ability (or the flexibility) to also be available to our own children. But 2012 has been good to us thus far. It’s been quite a while, but thanks to timing and friends, who thought I’d be a good fit, I am doing things I love to do and am still around for our own children, something that has always been important to us. Children need their parents at the end of their school day whether they are six or 16. So, in the span of a couple of weeks, I’ve acquired not one, but two jobs. Funny how things work. Thanks to my friend, Kathleen Lundy, I’m tutoring – combining my love of working with kids (particularly teenagers) with my love of finding new ways to impart knowledge. Even more fun is doing something I haven’t done in seven years and that is waitressing. A few weeks back, Dad thought it would be a good idea to walk to Price Chopper to get milk. Mind you, this was on Saturday, Jan. 21, a day that was actually a “winter” day given that we haven’t had many of those this year. It was cold and snowy and resulted, in the end, in us calling our son to come pick us up! We started out by walking to the post office to send something to our son who lives in New York City, and given that we were so close by, on the spur of the moment, decided to stop for breakfast at the Main St. Grille before getting the milk. Having once worked with the owner, Kim, at Stateline in Rhode Island, off the cuff, I decided to ask if she was hiring. Timing is everything. The restaurant was about to expand into yet another building unit. She might need more wait staff. Over the next couple of days, a text here, a phone call there, I found myself hired and back in the fast pace of the waitressing world – and I do mean fast! To be honest, I didn’t realize how much I missed it until I started doing it again! The transition back into the serving world has been relatively seamless and one I am incredibly grateful for it. The regulars know I’m new and their welcoming of me and patience with me is most appreciated. Indeed, what a difference a year makes. Laura Fisher Andersen is a resident of Putnam.

Paper clips are an old school staple – and a clever reader shares a half dozen uses! Ready to share the miracles of paper clips . . . (great at home and while traveling . ..darn cheap too)! 1. Christmas ornament hook. 2. I used one as a washer on a stripped screw on the bottom of a shower door, where we couldn’t get the screw to back out, but I opened the paper clip enough to fit around the screw, tightened it down and voila! 3. Paper clip on any book I am reading, top of the page, prevents bend corners and lets me find where I left off very quickly. Great on the airplane and passes security. 4. Works as a temporary money clip or for bundling bills for the bank etc. 5. I have hung pictures or door decorations with a paper clip, over a less damaging push pin or thumb tack, with the paper clip as the hook, when opened and shaped like an “s”. 6. Paper clips on the fabric in office cubes, as a hook, (tape to the back of card or photo you want to hang), then gently push the opened hook end into the fabric of the cubicle.

A chemical free oven cleaner is as close as your kitchen cupboard: Here is an effective way to clean the inside of your oven without using the harsh chemical sprays from stores. Simply spray vinegar all over the inside of the oven. Follow that with an even sprinkling of baking soda and allow for the mixture to bubble and fizz. Leave the mixture to sit for about 30 minutes to an hour, depending on how much grime /grease is clinging to the walls of the oven. Then use a scouring sponge to scrub the walls and bottom of the oven to remove the grime and build up. Vinegar is a great degreaser, so try rinsing the sponge in vinegar to maintain its grease cutting abilities. You can rinse the oven by sponging clean water on the walls and bottom, this way no chemicals are required to achieve a clean look Mary C. Sturbridge, Mass. This reader cooks up an appetizer that’s not only delicious, it’s easy!
