PARENTS SPEAK OUT AGAINST LATEST
ROUND OF BUDGET CUTS
BY CLARE HOPKINS
VILLAGER STAFF WRITER
KILLINGLY — The Killingly
Board of Education had to make
some deep cuts for the 2011-12 budget
season last week, which included
sports programs at the Intermediate
and High School.
A $37.28 million budget was
approved last Wednesday, March 9, a
3.6-percent increase compared to
this fiscal year.
Interscholastic sports at Killingly
Intermediate and some sports programs
at the high school were cut.
The town also faces the loss of a district
computer teacher, a math and
English teacher at the High School,
and a school psychologist.
Board of Education Chairman
Alexis Rich said that the
Intermediate school would be going
from interscholastic to intramural
sports. At the high school, two
sports will lose one team. Currently
each team has a freshman, junior
varsity, and varsity team, so one of
those will be cut from two sports,
which have not yet been chosen.
“If we get more money than we’re
anticipating or the town decides to
appropriate a different amount than
were asking or the state comes

Cars for caring
HOMEMAKERS AIM AT RAISING $5K FOR
AUTO PURCHASE
BY CLARE HOPKINS
VILLAGER STAFF WRITER
Day Kimball Homemakers is
looking to the Quiet Corner community
to help them raise $5,000
for a new car this Monday, March
21.
With 450 clients and close to 90
employees, the Homemakers program
at DKH provides non-medical
support services such as general
housecleaning and chores,
running errands, meal planning
and preparation, bathing, dressing,
toileting, transportation to
medical appointments, shopping
and recreation outings as well as
socialization, medication supervision,
and caregiver relief.
“The purpose of getting a new
vehicle is that we service senior
citizens, people with disabilities
or short term illnesses that may
need rides. It’s a vital service to
some people. If someone can’t
drive that loss of independence is
very difficult to cope with,” said
Day Kimball Homemakers
Director Susan Esons.
Esons said that the car they currently
have is about 20 years old
and they have picked out a used
Ford Taurus, which they need
$5,000 more to purchase.
we’re anticipating that this may
change,” said Rich.
After repeated attempts,
Superintendent Dr. William Silver
could not be reached before the
Villager’s deadline Tuesday, March
15.
Some Killingly residents are
doing all they can to make sure the
decision does change.
Resident Donna Grauer, who has
four children enrolled in school,
along with a group of other parents,
has started a petition asking the
board to reconsider making the cut.
“It’s about the children and how
they may be missing out on the
opportunities that we had when we
were that age,” said Grauer. “Its
unfortunate and unfair and we need
to go back to the table.”
Grauer said despite the heavy cuts
the town has had to make she
believes it is possible to save the
sports in Killingly because other
towns in the area have managed to
keep theirs.
“If all the area schools have competitive
middle school sports programs,
I feel it’s shame on us that
our district can’t provide the same,”
she said. “I believe we can put it
Turn To CUTS, page A11
“Once we raise enough money
for the car, if we get donations in
excess, then the money that’s
raised goes directly to providing
that service. We can use the
money to offset the cost of paying
the employee, gas and insurance,”
said Esons.
The event is being hosted by
WINY 1350AM in Putnam.
“We’re very happy to work with
Northeast Homemakers and I
think it’s going to be a successful
event,” said WINY owner Gary
Osbrey. “These people are so modest
in what they’re asking for
they’re buying a used car and a
sensible car. They’re just good
people trying to do something and
I think people will respond and
help them out. It’s a good agency I
think people appreciate the work
they do.”
Esons said clients who use the
service are not hiring a taxi service,
but really a traveling companion.
“It’s not a taxi service, you’re
hiring the companion to do door
to door service, get you where you
need to go, and have some fun on
the way,” she said.

KILLINGLY VILLAGER
Recently I had the pleasure of
attending a “Show and Tell” program
at the Killingly Historical
Center.
What a variety of items the members
and guests brought in to share.
Many of you are probably familiar
with, and perhaps even purchased,
bonds during the World War II era.
However, how many of you know
that these were even sold during
World War I? Ruth Bergeron brought
in a poster supplement to the New
York Tribune from Sunday, Oct. 21,
1917. Individuals were encouraged to
display the poster on “Liberty Loan
Day,” Oct. 24.
“The Time Has Come to Conquer
or Submit. For us there is but one
choice. We have made it. Buy a bond
of the 2nd Liberty Loan and Help
Win the War. A Liberty Bond is a
United States Government Bond.”
Ruth said that she had turned to
Wikipedia for some additional information
about the bonds and gave a
little summary.
During the World War I era there
were four issues of Liberty Bonds,
the first being April 24, 1917 when
the Emergency Loan Act authorized
the issue of $5 billion in bonds at 3.5
percent.
“Subscribing to the bonds became
a symbol of patriotic duty in the
United States and introduced the
idea of financial securities to many
citizens for the first time. The Act of
Congress which authorized the
Liberty Bonds is still used today as
the authority under which all U.S.
Treasury bonds are issued”
(Wikipedia).
Dayville resident Glenna Bruno
brought a large 34 1/4” by 28 1/2”
“Bird’s Eye View” map of Dayville
dated 1887 to the program. Maps of
this type were not uncommon following
the Civil War. Homes, factories,
businesses, churches, and schools
were all drawn displaying approximate
shapes. Inserts frequently contained
enlargements of the more
prominent businesses. The following
is the directory of buildings that
were identified on the Dayville map:
NY and NE Railroad Station; Post
Office-Warren Webster, postmaster;
public school (located near present
entrance to Owen Bell Park across
from a small pond); Congregational
Church; Catholic Church; Sabin

known as White Street and Sayles

You may recall that former
Dayville resident Joseph Touchette
thought that he had seen a photo of
the stone mill that was recently
demolished with an addition. The
map enlargement indicates two, one
to the back of the stone mill and a
second small one on the river side of
the structure. “Images of America:
Killingly” by Natalie L. Coolidge and
Robert A. Spencer contains photos of
several of the above businesses on
pages 79-83. Not listed in the directory
was the Dayville Hotel of Lorenzo
M. Kennedy that was adjacent to the
livery stable and located near the
railroad depot (Coolidge, Killingly
Business Encyclopedia 1708-2008).
For a photo see Images of America
Killingly Revisited by Natalie L.
Coolidge, p. 49. Glenna Bruno has
donated the map to the Killingly
Historical Society so if you are curious,
stop in at the Killingly
Historical Center and look at it. It
may spark some fond memories of
the buildings that lasted into the
20th century.
While scanning the newspaper
microfilms recently, I came across an
article about a Borough dump. Since
I knew Killingly Historical Society
president Lynn LaBerge had been
researching the topic and had been
trying to figure out where it was
located, I printed it and passed it on.
“Voters Authorize Borough Dump
Site Purchase. Special meeting
approves the Establishment of
Facilities in Dayville …
Authorization included the purchase
of a 22-acre tract in Dayville from
Mr. and Mrs. Alex Chenard for
$1,000, hiring of Harvey Kimball of
Putnam at $50 per week to maintain
the facilities on a three-year contract
basis and $500 for the building of a
bulldozer shelter at the site…”
Borough Warden Ellis K. Howland
noted “that refuse would be dumped
in ten-foot trenches and covered
every other day thereby eliminating
the nuisances of fire, smoke, and
odor” (Windham County Transcript
1/28/19154).

given her a new lead on her quest to
locate the site of this former dump,
and she had found the land record
for the transaction. She discovered
that the dump was located in
Killingly’s present Industrial Park
behind the electric plant, west of the
railroad and north of Old Perry
Road. The property bordered on the
Putnam Town line. Although it was
intended to be a dump for Borough
residents, others began using it. It
closed July 1, 1964 when the present
dump was opened in South Killingly
(conversation 3/11/11). If any of you
remember the Borough dump, please
consider contacting Lynn or I.
Memories always enhance the story.
Lynn was also the first to answer

that began as Quinebaug. How many
of you remember Friendly Bowl?
March is Women’s History Month.
Now in years past I have written
about some of Killingly’s noted
ladies including Mary Dixon Kies of
South Killingly who is considered
the first women in the United States
to receive a patent in her own right
(1809) and Dr. Emeline Robert Jones
of Danielson, the first female dentist
(1859). If you know of a local woman
who has done something significant
in your lifetime, please let me know.
Perhaps you know of an artist, a
singer, or a female political figure
who should be remembered. Now,
those of you who are younger readers
may think it strange to celebrate
Women’s History. However, those of
us who are senior citizens remember
the days when you did not have
women television commentators or
women who were professional basketball
players — and much more. In
my lifetime, monumental changes
have been made.
If you have anything to add to the
topics that I have written about this
week, please contact the Killingly
Historical Center or me. Your memories
are like icing on the cake. They
make the column that much sweeter.

“If all the area schools have competitive middle school sports
programs, I feel it’s shame on us that our district can’t provide
the same … I believe we can put it back on the board if all the
other area towns are.”
- Killingly resident Donna Grauer this week, speaking out
against a recent proposal to slash sports programs at Killingly
Intermediate School amid budget concerns.
BOOK OF THE WEEK
Quiet Corner Reads:
A Collaboration of NE CT Libraries
“Life,” by Keith Richards with James Fox
OK, I’ll be the first to admit to the fact that the Rolling Stones
weren’t my favorite band growing up in the 60s (and 70s) since
we’re all still learning about life.
Everybody loved and wanted to be like John, Paul, George,
and Ringo, right? Who really wanted to be like any of the
Stones? Well, maybe Mick Jagger with those moves? Definitely
not Brian Jones, Charlie Watts, Bill Wyman and almost definitely
not Keith Richards.
I always viewed Keith as, at best, an extension of Mick J. and,
at worst, a stoned-out guitarist. I never thought he would
become a best-selling author, ever. So much for my theory of
life!
Keith, with the help of James Fox, has written a 547-page
autobiography that documents his life, loves, and music right
up to last year. Everything that has happened to him and the
Stones that he can remember is here. That in and of itself surprised
me since most of us viewed him as being under the influence
of something for most of his adult life. Keith doesn’t pull
any punches about his addictions, rowdy behavior, and trashy
love life. He doesn’t hesitate in using real names and places
where these behaviors took place, either. He does come across
as truly honest when he speaks about his true love, music. How
many of us really knew that Keith was an R&B fan before the
Stones became the Stones? He has met and played with many
Country and R&B masters in his 66 years of life and he shared
that passion in his writing, both musically and in this book.
I didn’t expect “Life” to be much of a read. I was pleasantly
surprised. The man knows his trade. Now it begs the question.
Was he really that stoned when all of this was going on?

When you’re working,
you have a financial
strategy that is largely
based on one goal: saving
money for a comfortable
retirement.
You’ll likely have to
make many adjustments
over several
decades to ensure that
you stay on track saving
and investing. But once
you retire, a new goal
arises — investing so
you can remain retired.
To help yourself
achieve this goal, you
will need to make a
number of investment decisions.
Which of these decisions are
most important? Here are five to
consider:
How much will you spend each
year? Before you can pursue an
appropriate investment strategy,
you’ll need to know about how
much you'll spend each year.
Estimate your costs for housing,
food, travel, entertainment,
insurance, gifts — everything.
Keep in mind that your expenses
will likely change annually, especially
for items such as health
care. Don't forget about inflation,
which will likely cause your
expenses to increase over the
years.
How should you balance your
investment portfolio to provide
sufficient income and growth
opportunities? Clearly, you'll
need your investments to provide
a source of income during your
retirement years. At the same
time, you will need some growth
potential to overcome the effects
of inflation, which can erode
your purchasing power.
Consequently, you will need a
mix of income- and growth-oriented
investments, with the proportions
depending on your risk

Five key decisions
for retirees

tolerance and your
lifestyle.
How much should you
withdraw each year from
your investment portfolio?
The answer depends
on several factors, including
your retirement
lifestyle, the size and performance
of your investment
portfolio, inflation,
your estimated life
expectancy and the size of
the estate you’d like to
leave. This decision is
important, because the
amount you withdraw
each year will directly
affect how long your money lasts.
From which accounts should
you begin taking withdrawals?
You may have built three different
types of accounts: taxable,
tax-deferred and tax-free. It may
be a good idea to take withdrawals
from your taxable
accounts first, thereby allowing
your tax-deferred accounts, such
as your Traditional IRA and your
401(k), more time to compound
and potentially increase in value.
If you have a tax-free account,
such as a Roth IRA, save it for last
to maximize the compounding on
money on which you will never
pay taxes. (Roth IRA earnings
grow tax-free if you’ve had your
account at least five years and
you don’t begin taking withdrawals
until you’re at least 59-
1/2.) That said, this is just a rule
of thumb.
When should you take Social
Security? You can begin taking
Social Security as early as age 62,
but your monthly checks will be
considerably larger if you wait
until your “normal” retirement
age, which is likely 65 or 66. But
if you need the money, you may
be better off by taking Social
Security at 62 and giving your
tax-deferred accounts
more time to potentially
grow.
As you can see,
you’ll need a lot of
expertise to successfully
manage your
financial and investment
situations during
retirement. If you
don’t already work
with a financial advisor
and a tax professional,
now would be a
good time to start.
Once you’ve got your
financial strategy in
place, you'll be better
prepared to enjoy an
active, fulfilling retirement.

FOLK awards grants to Killingly teachers
BY CLARE HOPKINS
VILLAGER STAFF WRITER
KILLINGLY — The Friends of
Learning in Killingly (FOLK),
awarded 10 grants to Killingly
educators to help them carry out
educational projects Monday,
March 10, at the Killingly Town
Hall.
“The reviewers and Advisory
Committee were very impressed
with this year’s project submissions.
The projects were very
well thought out, implementation
and follow-up plans were
clear and realistic, and the projects
all strive to inspire a love of
learning,” said Advisory
Committee Chair Janice Ahola-
Sidaway.
The FOLK Fund is an educational
endowment fund created
in 1998 by classmates and friends
of the KHS Class of 1966 to promote
innovative school-based
educational projects in Killingly
and inspire the love of learning
in Killingly’s youth. Since its
inception the fund has awarded
$25,700 through 82 grants that
support educational projects at
Killingly schools. Projects in the
past have included environmental
education projects, literacy,
science and art projects, service
learning and citizenship education,
technology, business, communication
and career planning.
“Because FOLK established its
endowment fund more than 12
years ago and has grown over
the years, we have been lucky
that despite the recent recession,
we have been able so far to maintain
our recent funding level
while still ensuring that the
Fund will continue in perpetuity,”
said Ahola-Sidaway.
The fund makes grants up to
$250 but larger grants of $400 to
$500 are available for collaborations
between teachers, academic
departments or schools.
This year grants were given to
Barbara Porter (KCS), Sandra

BROOKLYN — Brooklyn Elementary School
and grassroots organization Children First
Brooklyn will host a Celebrity Reader’s Night,
“Oh! The Places You’ll Go,” on Friday, April 8
to promote literacy at the school.
“Many years ago the school sponsored Dr.
Seuss Read Across America nights. Since the
school is not currently offering this program,
we decided to fill the void. We gathered a committee
of energetic and enthusiastic people
who wanted to see a fun literacy program in
town,” said Children First Coordinator
Heather Larabee.
The night will feature different stations that
children can “travel” to and be read to.
“Our destinations for reading will include
fairy tales, local heroes, politicians and music.
The celebrities that will be in attendance are
Clifford the Big Red Dog, author and illustrator
Barbara McClintock, illustrator David
Johnson, Sen. Donald Williams, Rep. Mike
Alberts, Selectman Austin Tanner, The
Ukelady, Princess Pellegrino, firefighters and
policemen and many others from the community,”
said Larabee.
The night is the culminating event of a
school read-a-thon, which starts March 21.
Children will keep track of minutes they have
read and April 8 will enter their names to be
drawn for a prize.
Reading Consultant Joanne Bell said the
event will also include a book swap, where children
can bring up to three books to swap for
new books. Local libraries will also be donating
to the book swap.
“They’ll be a lot going on, it should be a fun
night,” said Bell.
Besides the celebrity readers several teachers
will be doing readings in their room. Bell
said children will get to choose three different
activities to participate in.
There will also be a scholastic book sale set
up with a buy one get one free special. Outside
there will be two fire truck outside the school
for children to tour.
“It looks like a great community and school

The Friends of Learning in Killingly Fund (FOLK) recently awarded 10 Killingly
educators with grants to fund different projects. Standing, from left, Barbara

Lugauskas, a grade 3-4 reading
specialist at Killingly Central
School, will be using her $400
grant to help with the purchase
of bicycle safety books as part of
a larger initiative to promote
bicycle safety at the school.
“The money will be used to
purchase a copy of ‘The Bicycle
Book’ by Gail Gibbons for each
third and fourth grade student at
Killingly Central School. In conjunction
with the book giveaway,
Danielson Adventure
Sports will be coming on Friday,
April 1 to give a talk about bike
maintenance and road safety
rules to our third and fourth
graders. Students will also have
the opportunity to enter a bike
safety poster contest at the
school and all families will have
the opportunity to purchase low
cost bike helmets and safety
gear,” said Lugauskas.
Killingly Central school first
grade teacher Porter will be
using her $250 grant to help
defray transportation and entry
costs for 100 grade one students
to take a field trip to Mystic
Children First to host
literacy event
Aquarium.
“The trip is an important complement
to our science program
and study of animals. Many students
do not have experiences
with live animals and this field
trip is a great chance for them to
observe real animals and make
connections to what they have
read and studied about in
school,” said Porter.
“All of the proposed projects
had special qualities, so it’s next
to impossible to single out any as
more noteworthy than the others,”
said Ahola-Sidaway “I was
particularly pleased and
impressed with the fact that
teachers are sharing resources
with their colleagues and that
educational specialists are partnering
up to carry out exciting
interdisciplinary initiatives. It’s
wonderful to see that teachers
are much less isolated from each
other than was so often the case
in the past in virtually all
schools across the country. It is
such a pleasure to be associated
with the FOLK initiative, which
is helping support Killingly educators
in these joint endeavors.”
Teachers at KIS, Vasbinder
and Gauthier, have teamed up to
carry out a project called
First, most of whose members are also on the
PTO, which is supporting the event with its
funds.
“Children First Brooklyn is a grass roots
organization that was founded in Brooklyn
nearly 10 years ago. Our purpose is to empower
children. We fulfill our mission through sponsoring
events and programs such as positive
parenting classes, community conversations
and literacy. This year we wanted to focus on
literacy,” said Larabee.
The event will be held on Monday, April 8
from 5:45 to 7:30 p.m. at the Brooklyn
Elementary School. Larrabee said they are still
looking for more volunteers to help out at the
event.
Clare Hopkins may be reached at (860) 928-
1818, ext. 112, or by e-mail at clare@villagernewspapers.com.
“Killingly Connections.”
Gauthier’s classes will research
and develop material about the
history of Killingly; and
Vasbinder’s classes will use this
material to develop, design, and
produce professional style
brochures for publication. The
$400 grant will be used to purchase
a digital scanner and cameras.
“The project will culminate
with the placement of our student-created
brochures in the
Killingly Town Hall for community
use,” Vasbinder explained.
Special education teachers
Sandra Kelley and Ann McLeish
teach multi-handicapped students
in Killingly Intermediate
School’s Chrysalis program.
Kelly, who is Killingly’s 2011
Teacher of the Year, explained
that the students have been reading
about different modes of
transportation.
“We recently read The Polar
Express, which sparked an interest
in trains,” she said.
Her $250 grant will help make
it possible for their 21 students to
take their first ever train ride, a
return trip from Attleboro to
Boston’s historic South Station.
Killingly Memorial School
occupational therapist Karen
Kent will be using her $250 grant
to purchase supplies for “fine
motor boxes” for each of the
eight kindergarten classes at
KMS and KCS. The boxes will
contain a range of items that
will be used to complete 10 different
activities specifically
designed to develop hand musculature
that is important for writing
and other life skills. “These
activities will be able to be used
on an individual basis as well as
within small groups,” Kent
explained. The boxes will also
help the teachers to spot students
who may need special finemotor
interventions.

Workin’ on the railroad: Presentation to highlight trains
BY CLARE HOPKINS
VILLAGER STAFF WRITER
The Thompson Historical Society will host
a presentation on the railroads in
Northeastern Connecticut on Thursday,
March 24, and the entire Quiet Corner is
invited.
The presentation will be given by Putnam’s
Aspinock Historical Society member Bill
Pearsall.
“We’re thinking that trains are going to
come back with the multi-billion dollar stimulus
from President Obama to reinstitute
train service in many regions in the country,”
said Thompson Historical Society Joe
Iamartino. “It’s a good time to remember how
big trains were and how someday it might
come back in a slightly different form to
northeastern Connecticut.”
According to Pearsall, the railroad came to
this area in 1840 and at its high point, 60
trains came in and out of Putnam a day. Up
until the Flood of 1955, the railroad went

The event took place at The Golden Eagle

Nearly 180 guests attended the fundraiser
that incorporated dinner, dancing, raffles,
door prizes and silent and live auction bidding
as ways to raise money. Mike Sweeney of
Luner Energi Entertainment donated his DJ
services for the event.

Chair Karen Kaylor.
There were numerous items, prizes and
gifts given away or auctioned off at the gala,
such as a Sunset cruise on Narragansett Bay,
lunch for four with television personality
Scott Haney, a 2009-10 UConn Women’s

The committee was started in 2009 by
People’s United Bank’s Lead Customer
Service Associate Karen Kaylor and her husband
Mark. The Deary Memorial Spring
Gala & Auction has raised nearly $52,000 for
the cancer fund since the committee’s inception.
Last year the event raised $16,000.

During the flood the bridge over Kennedy
Drive washed out.
In the early times before the railroad the
mills had been established but there was not
an efficient way to get raw materials in and
finished products out, especially to major
cities in the area.
“There was originally a charter to build a
canal along the Quinebaug River but that
idea was abandoned in the 1830’s when it
became apparent that railroads were the way
to go,” said Pearsall.
The railroad allowed people to get their
products as far as Norwich and Worcester.
Passengers could also travel on these trains.
“Eventually another railroad came in the
1870s from New York to Hartford to
Willimantic, with the intersection in
Putnam. There were now two railroads offering
passenger and freight service so this area
became a hub for transportation, that’s why
there were so many trains in and out,”
Pearsall said.

The railroads continued to expand to
Boston and Northern New England, all the
way up to Bangor Maine.
“You could go virtually anywhere in the
country,” said Pearsall.
The decline of the train was due mostly to
the rise of the automobile according to
Pearsall.
“As automobiles and trucks became popular
people chose to drive to their destination
over taking the train,” he said. “The railroads
began to peter mainly because of truck
transportation.”
After the Great Depression the mills went
out of business in favor of foreign market
and the rail system began to break down and
was eventually phased out.
Pearsall will be giving a PowerPoint presentation
and said he has some “really great
pictures,” to share. He hopes those who
remember the railroad will attend and share
their experiences.
“There are people around that remember a
lot more of the railroad
because the results
were simply amazing,
especially in this economy
that this committee
could do so well in
one evening,” said
Interim Development
Director for Day
Kimball Healthcare
Pamela Watts. “We are
thrilled, and I think it
really speaks to the
heart of the community
as to how they will
turn out and passionately
support things
they value, like this
fund that does so
much to helps others.”
According to Watts,
the Deary Memorial
Cancer Fund is an
“active fund” that is in use all the time. The
Fund has been around for nearly 22 years,
and pays for cancer treatment, testing, preventative
measures, medicine, and surgery to
those who may not have the monetary means
to afford it.
“It really helps ease the burden for people
who are already facing one challenge, and
don’t need to face another financial challenge
on top of it,” said Watts.
The Deary Fund was started nearly 23
years ago when Gene Deary’s youngest sister
Cathy lost her battle with lymphoma. Since
his family’s loss, Deary, among many other
involved parties have been hosting the Deary
Memorial Road Race, Walk and Ride for 23
years with the intention of raising as much
money as possible to locally support folks
who may need help with cancer related services.
“Three years ago Karen and Mark Kaylor
inquired if we would like them to host and
facilitate a gala, which consists of dinner,
dancing raffling, silent and live auctioning
and a whole bunch of fun, all in an effort to
raise money for the Deary Memorial Day
Kimball Healthcare Road Race, Walk and
Ride,” said Deary. “Well, we said ‘yes’ and we
have been blessed, inspired, motivated and
the beneficiary’s of an incredible group of
people dedicated to the same cause.”
and its always interesting to get that aspect
from the people that were there.”
Pearsall will also be discussing some train
wrecks, including the Great East Thompson
Train Wreck in 1891.
Pearsall said he would love to see the
return of the rail system, though he is not
sure if it will happen.
“I’d love nothing more than to have a regular
passenger service and to be able hop on
the train in Putnam and go to New York. But
right now the projected cost of putting rail
back in is $1 million a mile, so it’s very expensive,”
he said.
The event will be held at the Ryscavage
Auditorium at Tourtellotte Memorial High
School at 7 p.m. The Tourtellotte Memorial
room will also be open from 6:30 p.m.
Admission is free.

Skunk cabbage a welcome sign of spring
“Spring is when you feel like
whistling even with a shoe full of
slush.” -Doug Larson
Skunk cabbage is certainly a
sign of spring.
I was out walking in the woods yesterday
and much of the ground was
still covered in snow. Near a wetland,
swampy area, however, I found several
skunk cabbage plants emerging
from the semi-frozen ground. This is
such a welcomed find after this
relentless winter. Did you know that
skunk cabbage emits a bit of heat
that helps to melt the icy ground?
Another good sign is that this
Sunday (March 20) marks the first
official day of spring.
Skunk cabbage (Symplocarpus
foetidus), a perennial plant from the
Aurum family, gets such a bad rap.
Many people that wander through
the woods often step on the plant that
then exudes its charming “stinky”
smell. It’s like a skunk: once you
smell “that smell,” you’re not going
near it anytime soon!
Chemicals in the plant are responsible
for the odor. Kathy Reshetiloff,
a writer for the The Chesapeake
Journal Bay, discusses in her article
on skunk cabbage that “Skatole is a
crystalline compound that has a
feces-like smell and cadaverine is an
organic compound produced as a
result of decomposing bacteria on
flesh. It is believed the plant mimics
this putrid smell to attract insects
that specialize in scavenging dead
and fecal matter” (2007).
If you look closely at a skunk cabbage
plant, you’ll find that it’s quite a
pretty plant. Actually, the colors and
tones of the early sprouting, called
spathes, vary quite a bit, and can be
of a strong, vivid color (reddish-pur-

ple). These spathes surround the
knob-shaped spadix (which houses
the flowers inside). After pollination,
the reddish-purple spathes dry up.
The spadix portion of the plant
begins to fold toward the soil. This is
when the large green leaves begin to
open up, flopping to the ground
(Newcomb’s Wildflower Guide by L.
Newcomb, p. 16). These oval-shaped
leaves can reach a length of 2 feet
(Reshetiloff).
Even though humans are not in
favor of the smell from the Skunk
Cabbage plant, gnats and spring flies
gravitate to the smell. These creatures
act as the pollinator for the
plant. Other creatures that fancy the
plant include spiders, bees, and some
beetles. According to the Newton
Conservators Almanac, as the “cabbage”
goes through its growing
phase, some birds, like the Yellow-
Throated Warbler, utilize the
“stench” of the plant to keep predators
away. These birds tend to build
nests in the “hollow left by the
spathe” (16).
Skunk cabbage is actually edible.
According to Lee Allen Peterson’s
Edible Wild Plants of
Eastern/Central North America, the
dried rootstocks of the plant can be
made into cocoa-like flour (156).
Young leaves that are really well
dried have been used in stews. In his

Early Spring in Northeastern North
America, Steve Brill has a recipe for
“Skunk Cabbage Booty”
(http://www.wildmanstevebrill.com
/Web%20Recipes/SkunkCabbageBo
oty.html). I have no idea if it is good
or not, but it could be. You do need to
be aware that the plant contains calcium
oxalate crystals. If you eat the
plant raw or even after you have
thoroughly boiled the plant, it will
still trigger an extreme burning feeling
in your mouth (156). Remember if
you are certain to thoroughly dry out
the edible parts of the plant, it’s safe
to eat. Always check with an edible
plants expert if you are ever unsure
of how to prepare the plant for eating!
Historically, Native
Americans used skunk cabbage to
treat scurvy and sometimes as a
sedative (Hatfield 60).
You may not enjoy the smell of the
skunk cabbage, and you may not use
the plant in your cooking, but you do
have to love that it is a sign of spring.
Wishing you a happy start to spring
on Sunday!

Talent show raises money for Senegal Exchange Program

VILLAGER STAFF WRITER
WOODSTOCK — More than
$1,800 was raised at the “Faculty,
Staff and Student Talent Show,”
held at Woodstock Academy on
Friday, March 11, to benefit the
Woodstock-Senegal Exchange
Program.
There were nearly 40 performances,
eclectically ranging from a
capella singing, to flute and violin
solos, to full band performances.
The show was divided into two
acts, and had both student and
teacher participation.
According to Academy French
teacher and event coordinator
Merry Burke, the connection that
the Academy has with Senegal,
West Africa, began as her own passion,
as she lectures about the
country in her classes. She has
been bringing Academy students to
Senegal since 1998.
“French is the second most spoken
language in the world. It gives
students a tool of survival in a
global world, and there’s no better
way to do that, then to make a
friend in another country,” said

KILLINGLY VILLAGER Friday, March 18, 2011 • A7
A few weeks ago Wayne wrote
about gold jewelry and its value in
today’s markets.
I’d like to expand on this quite a
bit this week to include bullion, sterling
jewelry, silver coins, and more. I
receive five to six calls a week from
folks who want to convert precious
metal assets to cash. Their reasons
are varied, and include:
• Raise cash to pay bills;
• Use the funds for a vacation or a
special project;
• Their children have no interest
in their collections;
• Items are seldom or never used;
• Cash is easier to store (bank) and
dispose of.
I’ve seen some pretty interesting
assets over the years that include
pre-1964 silver coins, .999 silver bullion
rounds and ingots, .925 sterling
silverware, 22 karat, 18 karat, 14
karat, and 10 karat gold jewelry, .900
foreign gold coins, U.S. and
European dental gold (always interesting),
and even .825 or .800 foreign
silver jewelry. Recently, I’ve been
seeing quite a few 1 Troy pound (16
ounce) silver rounds. Often, a client
has a combination of these items.
But before you go running off and
selling these valuable assets, there
are some basic rules you should fol-
Day 123, boots on ground:
On Tuesday, March 1, Connecticut
news stations reported that another
soldier with ties to Connecticut had
passed in Afghanistan.
He was a 23-year-old PFC who
went to school in Norwalk until the
seventh grade. I have no idea who he
is, but he died for me, for my children,
for you. I cried.
As the reporter told the story, my
12-year-old stopped exiting the living room in
order to hear it, in order to learn what he
could about this young man. As the story
ended and my somber son got up to leave the
room, he noticed I was crying, and he asked,
“Are you OK?”
“I’m as okay as I’m going to be,” I told him.
He hugged me good night and went upstairs.
The governor ordered all state and US flags
to be flown at half-staff.
Simply said, it is sad. Every single time I
hear of the passing of another soldier, I
pause. A little piece of me breaks. I’ve told
our children that every day that goes by that
a government car does not pull up in front of
our house, is a good day. I think of the family
of that fallen soldier. I envision, as though in
a time warp, the government officials coming
to their door. What time do they come? Early?
Midday? Late? If the deceased has children,
do they wait until they are off to school so
that they can speak with the spouse first? Do
they help the spouse retrieve the children at
HARTFORD — Richard Murray and
Killingly Board of Education Chairman Alexis
Rich met with other education leaders, and parents
from across the state to air concerns over
pending legislation before the 2010 General
Assembly.
The Connecticut Association of Boards of
Education sponsored its annual “Day on the
Hill” to give members of locally elected school
boards, parents, school superintendents and
other education leaders, as well as high school
students an opportunity to meet and discuss
important issues with their legislators. CABE’s
legislative agenda, supported by board members
from across the state has a clear message:
Level fund ECS and avoid additional education
mandates.
The day was highlighted by meetings with
legislative leadership and local legislators.
The Killingly board members brought several
Killingly High students with them to CABE’s
Day on the Hill. Gov. Daniel Malloy spoke and
took questions from the large audience. Many
expressed thanks to the governor for level funding
ECS in his budget.
The Killingly board members along with the
six high school students met with Sen.
President Pro Tempore Donald Williams, and
later with Reps. Mae Flexer and Daniel Rovero
at the Legislative Office Building.
“We felt it was important for us, particularly
the students, to convey the many good things
happening at Killingly High School. The students
had an array of opinions and experiences
and did a fine job expressing themselves
to our elected representatives in Hartford,”
said Murray, a member of the Board of
Education and VP of Government Relations
for CABE. “Once again, we were very proud
our students and the manner in which they
represented themselves and KHS.”
The Killingly board members and students
concluded their eventful day with a scheduled
meeting with Lt. Gov. Nancy Wyman at her
office in the State Capitol.
Buying and selling gold and silver
low.
1. Gold — Know what you have.
Look for purity markings on each
piece (except pre-64 silver U.S. coins,
which we know are 90 percent silver).
The purity of gold has to, by
U.S. law, be clearly marked on each
piece. The purity will be stated with
a number and then either a “K” for
“karat”, or “KP” for “karat plumb.”
Remember that pure gold is 24
karat, and that jewelry and coins are
not made of pure gold because it is
too soft for use. Usually copper is
added to give the item durability
and strength.
2. Silver — Silver pieces also have
to be marked, by law, either with
“.999” for bullion, or “sterling” or
“.925” for sterling silver pieces.
Foreign jewelry also has to be
marked with the purity. I recently
received a middle eastern silver
piece from Israel marked “.825.”

school? How does it play out?
You may think it obscene that I
even wonder these things, but I have
to be honest, I do. Frequently. Because
it is something I am forced to think
about in relation to my own husband
being deployed. No matter how safe
he may seem to be, things do go bump
(boom) in the night; things fly
through the air and land where they
may. Land mines go off when driven
over. The saying, “Wrong place at the wrong
time” exists for a reason.
How would I react? What would I do? What
would I say? Would I crumble to the ground?
Would I emit a gut wrenching, earth-shattering
scream? Would I stare in stunned silence
trying to wrap my head around the information
I’m being given? Would I rush to gather
my children if they weren’t there, or would I
rush to gather my friends so they could help
me with my children? I never want to know
the answer.
When James Sylvia died during Desert
Storm, Dad said, “That could have been me”
during an interview with a local newspaper.
We were much younger then and I was pregnant
with our first child. My husband was
with me as we awaited the birth of our son. I
was thankful he was by my side, home just in
time for the baby. I don’t recall giving as
much thought to other military personnel
back then as I do now. Being married this

Don’t assume that
all “silverware” is
sterling. If it is, it
has to be marked as
noted above. Most
people assume that
“Wm Rogers” silverware
is sterling. In
most cases it’s not.
3. No Mark — If there isn’t a visible
mark on the piece, chances are
it’s not gold or silver. The exception
to this is if the item is heavily worn
then the marking may have become
obliterated over time. In this case,
read on…
4. Sell local — We’ve all seen
advertising on TV and in the newspapers
how the “XYZ” company will
be in your area buying “for top dol-
lar.”
Well, that’s not the case.
These people have travel
costs, lodging costs, advertising
costs, and other overhead.
They can’t pay top dollar.
Your other option is to
sell to a local jewelry store,
merchant, or metals dealer.
Local buyers have more at
stake in giving you a fair
price. Once the transaction is
complete, they still have to do
business locally. Treating
clients unfairly isn’t going to
help their future business one
bit. On the other hand, traveling
buying groups are gone
after the sale is completed.
5. If any of your pieces are
unmarked, make sure the buyer
will assay (determine the purity
of the metal) of each piece.
Be sure the buyer is willing to
return all non-precious metal pieces
to you when payment for the other
pieces is received. Ask for a written
list of each piece, or group of pieces
in the case of small pieces, to
include the weight of each piece and
the total weight of each type of item
( by purity or category).
6. Precious stones — I always
return to the seller, whatever stones
parent of four children, being older and
wiser has taught me the fragility of life and
garnered me a greater appreciation of it.
Which is why the news of SSG Joseph
Phaneuf ’s passing in December 2006 was
more than unsettling to me. He was a member
of the Army National Guard with the 1-
102nd Infantry Unit. He was a father of three
children. I was now a mother of four. His
passing affected me more because I now had
a much greater understanding and appreciation
of the sacrifices made by soldiers and
their families.
Joe graduated in 1987, four years behind
me, from Putnam High School. I did not know
him personally. But I knew what I felt when I
heard the news of his death. I sobbed uncontrollably
for his wife and his children. My
first thought, much like my husband’s 15
years earlier, was, “That could be us.”
The following April 2007, opening day of
the Putnam Little League season was dedicated
to Joe’s memory. He grew up playing little
league in Putnam. Though they lived in
Eastford, his wife and children were present
that day. Throughout the ceremony, despite
the number of children and parents there,
you could have heard a pin drop, but for the
speakers. As we had been doing for several
years and have done each year since, my
daughter and I opened the season by singing
the National Anthem together. That particular
year will forever remain in my memory.
Joe’s youngest daughter, Jordan, threw out
(precious or not) that can easily be
removed from the jewelry. Small
parve diamonds are usually an
exception since they’re very difficult
to remove from their settings. If
you want any of the stones back be
sure to tell the buyer before handing
over the items.
7. Ninety percent silver coins —
These are sold using a different
standard than bullion and jewelry.
Silver coins are sold on a “per face
dollar” standard. This is because
some of the silver is simply “lost” in
the course of the coin’s circulation,
so an average is determined by the
precious metals industry and the
“per face dollar value” is closely tied
to the ever-changing spot metal
price of silver.

the opening pitch. The emotion of that day
was overwhelming and still brings tears to
my eyes. Being asked to sing each year is an
honor in and of itself. Singing that particular
year was by far the most poignant.
We are in the homestretch now, with
approximately eight weeks remaining before
dad returns to the states. This coming baseball
season, my daughter and I will once
again sing on opening day, April 16, and it
will be another day of great emotion because
Dad will not be here for it, which will be very
difficult for our youngest son. We will sing in
Dad’s honor. We will sing in Jay’s memory.
We will sing in Joe’s memory. We will sing in
the memory of all those who have given their
lives for this country of ours and in honor of
all those who have served and currently
serve, so that we can play ball on that particular
field, the very same field that Jay, and
Joe, and Dad grew up playing on.
And when Dad comes back in May, you will
find him on that field cheering on our son, or
umping a game for him or for someone else’s
child, just as you would have found Joe there
doing the same for his own children and
other’s children. Because that’s who Dad is
and that’s what he does — at home, he’s simply
“Dad.”

COMMENTARY
The worst
part
Some days I absolutely love my job.
The creativity, the interactions with
the public, meeting new people, listening
to interesting stories and putting
out a newspaper worth reading (at least in
my humble opinion...).
Then again, some days — I
really hate my job.
I felt like this over the
weekend as I learned that a
young boy from Dudley,
Mass., Mark DiBona, 4, had
fallen off an escalator at the
Auburn Mall and later died
from his injuries in a tragic
incident.
THE MINOR Stories like this are the
worst part of the job.
DETAILS
I hope you all will forgive
me if this column takes us
ADAM MINOR north of the border into
Massachusetts (as I also help
put a few newspapers in the
Bay State) but this really is a universal issue
and it doesn’t get any easier with time.
I don’t know the family of the boy, and I
know more press is the last thing they want
right now in this time of loss, but unfortunately,
sometimes the nature of the job
means addressing subjects that are hard to
talk about. Certainly, this falls under that category.
It’s tough to see a story like this in the
pages of a newspaper — but news, no matter
how tragic — is news.
This doesn’t mean we are calloused or cynical.
Yes, we do deal with a lot of dark subject
matter on a daily basis. But we pride ourselves
in the fact that we are exactly the opposite
of calloused or cynical. Hearing about
the tragic death of a child, especially for a
man like me, who works with kids, it strikes
a chord deep in my heart, as well as the
hearts of my staff.
So, instead of using this space to expound
on the nature of hard news and media sensitivity,
I’m going to simply say that from all of
us here at Stonebridge Press and the Villager
Newspapers, our condolences go out to the
DiBona family during this time.
We hope that through the darkness you are
facing, you will find hope. If you are reading
this, know that we are all thinking about you.
And for the rest of us, an incident like this
shows us how fragile life truly is. Treasure
each moment with your family, your kids,
your siblings, and don’t let a second more go
by without telling those closest to you that
they are loved.

Fight the ‘American Greed Machine’
To the Editor:
Speaking on Wall Street on Thursday,
March 10, Rex “the robber” Tillerson (CEO,
Exxon/Mobil) said he “doesn’t think the
recent jump in oil prices is hurting the U.S.
economy.”
He went on to say that when gas reaches $4
per gallon it creates “some real challenges”
for average American families and their
household budgets. What this greedy pig
failed to mention is that the last time gasoline
cost more than $4 per gallon (in 2008),
Exxon/Mobil posted a “record” profit! So,
what he essentially is saying is that gasoline
prices are not yet high enough to satisfy his
corporate greed machine.
Also reported on that same day, energy
leaders from around the world, oil ministers
from the Middle East and executives of international
oil companies said that there is plenty
of oil flowing to meet worldwide demand,
even with the supply disruption caused by
unrest in Libya. So why were the traders
(speculators) on Wall Street and in the financial
markets able to add an additional $20
“fear factor” to the price of a barrel of oil?
They did it because they could! They did it
because nobody will speak up against them.
Who will speak up against Big Oil, the Wall
Street speculators and the corporate greed
machine? I suggest that you learn about the
“Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and
Consumer Protection Act” and ask that our
members of Congress push it to the

To the Editor:
Why is Connecticut satisfied with the higher
cost of 169 towns’ duplication of services
instead of services that can be consolidated
into county government at lower cost?
Is the reason to protect the political turf of
politicians? Do citizens in Connecticut want
less and more costly services provided by
government not structured to most efficiently
provide services? Cost effective services
that would allow more from government at
lower cost while lowering taxes would seem
to be the change of common sense.
There are those who will argue that we
have Council of Governments and
Enterprise Zones that deal with the consolidation
of services for communities.
Therefore there is no need for county government.
The problem is those organizations
can only rely on voluntary participation of
member communities and the funding for
those solutions with some grant monies at
the discretion of state government. However
make no mistake about the fact that, even for
the anemic level of benefit that Council of
Governments and Enterprise Zones provide,
the benefit is funded in the most part by the
communities that volunteer to participate in
those organizations.

Stand up against ‘punishing’ expenses
To the Editor:
With the dreaded April 15 deadline for
income taxes fast approaching, it is appropriate
to discuss the cost of government to residents
of Putnam (and surrounding towns).
Most people don’t realize that the bulk of
their taxes to government never stays in
Putnam, but ends up in Hartford and primarily
Washington, D.C.
For instance, the federal outlays for 2010
were about $3.7 trillion for a population of
about 307 million, or more than $12,000 per
person. For the State of Connecticut, the cost
is probably more than $6,700 per person ($23.5
billion in 2008/3.5 million people), and for
Putnam about $2,300 per person ($20.7 million/9,000
people). In sum, the federal, state
and local cost to Putnam residents for government
is more than $21,000, of which a paltry
11 percent is spent locally.
So Villager readers should protest their big,
punishing expense, the wasteful federal government,

watchdogs local government funds are spent
with relative efficiency. Therefore, the culprits
we should be focusing on are Senators
Joe Lieberman and Richard Blumenthal and
Congressman Joe Courtney, who help do over
five times more to impoverish Putnam residents
than our local politicos!
It is Lieberman, Blumenthal and Courtney
who have subverted the principle of subsidiarity,
upon which America was founded.
It seems that the prime objective of this trio is
to transfer wealth from the middle class to the
super-rich via interest on the national debt,
imperialistic wars, bank bailouts, etc., as they
pretend to represent their constituents, but
cravenly obey their plutocratic masters who
control Big Business.
Connecticut needs county government
Yes, county government costs money.
However the savings will prove to be very
cost effective by lowering the cost of services
the savings more than pays for the added cost
of county government. Schools, police, public
works, public transportation, insurance,
etc. — the list goes on. County government
would have the authority (not voluntary participation)
and funding to get the jobs done
effectively and at the best possible cost. Just
think of all the duplication of each town and
city of the above-mentioned services that
would be kept to a minimum, not to mention
the reduction in cost of purchasing in bulk if
we had county government.
The present downturn in this economy presents
the opportunity to make much needed
county government happen. Citizens know
that the present way communities try to fund
all services independently is too costly and
unaffordable for services to be provided at an
acceptable level. Should Connecticut not act
at this favorable time a great opportunity will
be lost. Citizens are looking for change to
improve the function and cost of government
in this economy.

In defense of unions
To the Editor:
A letter in last week’s Villager parrots the
Wisconsin Republicans’ anti-union talking
points, concluding, “Those with smaller
incomes and fewer benefits are paying for
those with larger incomes and better benefit
packages.”
It’s a good line for getting the folks in the
shrinking middle class to attack each other,
while the folks with the very much larger
incomes are doing better all the time. They’re
the ones whose tax cuts we’re subsidizing.
The letter accused the Wisconsin public
unions of not being willing to to help balance
the budget, but that’s not true. They offered to
make wage and benefit concessions. Gov.
Walker wouldn’t even negotiate, because this
isn’t about wages and benefits or budgets, it’s
about the Republicans’ core desire to completely
destroy the unions. The Republican
“Budget Repair Rule” is aimed, not at compensation
but at collective bargaining. It
would also require the unions to be re-certified
by vote every year and allow employees
to work for union wages and benefits without
even belonging to the union or supporting it
with dues.
The letter’s point that pay averages higher
among public workers is accurate, but meaningless,
because the private sector includes
all the workers who are paid at low, or “minimum”
wages or less. The most recent US census,
on the other hand, reveals that civil servants,
state and local, with less than a college
degree do tend to average 6 percent more than
their private sector peers, but civil servants
with college and graduate degrees make 20
percent less. Teachers have historically bargained
away higher wages for better benefits,
and with half of new teachers quitting in the
first five years, it’s hard to argue that theirs is
a cushy, overpaid job.
This attack on public-worker unions isn’t
about the budget. This is about using a time of
corporate and Wall Street-caused fiscal disaster
to get finally rid of the folks who get in the
way of bigger corporate profits. The Federal
Republicans’ budget would severely cut back
the EPA, which has done what corporations
To the Editor:
Have you noticed that in watching the variety
of TV crime dramas, that all the crimes
are solved and justice metered out in one half
to one hour?
The reason it doesn’t take longer, I think, is
simple.
Money!
In order for the syndicated shows to make
money they must produce the greatest number
of shows for the least cost and the most
profit. It makes sense.
In following crime and the criminals in the
real world, it seems the opposite is true. The
crimes are solved in reasonable amounts of
time for most cases, but the metering out of
justice takes forever. Amendment 6 of the
Constitution states, “In all criminal prosecutions,
the accused shall enjoy the right to a
speedy and public trial.” However it is safe to
say very few criminal cases could be said to
follow the speedy mode. In one case here in

Dear Dave:
The BOF and selectmen always “sell” the

Since this year the vote on the 2011/2012
budget could be based on an estimate of what
the State of Connecticut is going to give to
the Town of Woodstock. In fact it is possible
that state budget may not be approved at the
time we vote on our budget. When the state
sets its budget and sets the funding for the

estimated number the BOF used for our budget.
So it could be possible that funding our

One of the most cynical House Republicans

When I moved to this area 35 years ago,
there were still union textile jobs in Putnam.
When those jobs moved south the folks in the

for a cheaper workforce. “Don’t regulate
our pollution,” the Mexicans were told. They
didn’t, but the jobs are now in China, of
course. The pollution is still in Mexico.

Justice delayed is justice denied
Connecticut the crime was committed in
July of 2007 and has yet to be resolved even
though the perpetrators were arrested
almost immediately. The question to be asked
is — why does it take more than three years
to get justice? Could this also be a matter of
money?
Does the longer a case takes to resolve
increase the cost to the taxpayers? I know the
cost of a jury is not the main expense and the
judge gets an annual salary. So why should it
take so long to meter out justice?
If these delays for justice are because of
money, maybe this is another area where the
Constitution’s 6th Amendment should be
considered and enforced. After all the rights
of the injured parties should be considered
too. Justice delayed is justice denied.

At the end of my last article (“On
The Spot With Zoning;” Feb. 11)
about spot zoning, which is an illegal
granting of a land use activity, I
mentioned about special permits.
The use of special permits is a
legal, time-tested and common
method of land use zoning. At the
recent CT Land Use Law conference
I attended (hosted by the CT Bar
Association), there was an entire
lecture devoted to special permits.
So, what is a special permit? It is a
means used by planning and zoning
commissions to perform an extra
review of a proposed but permitted
land use activity in order to assess
the compatibility of the use with
other allowed activities in the zoning
district in which it is to be done.
This is a most important aspect of
special permits. Traditional zoning
laws were enacted in the 1920s in
order to protect residential neighborhoods
from incompatible activities,
such as large office buildings,
stores and factories. A “simple” residential
zone could be defined as
allowing only houses. Anything else
would be prohibited. However, this
can lead to segregating compatible
land uses from each other, a phenomenon
that many people blame
for urban sprawl.
A special permit process affords
flexibility to a planning and zoning
commission in balancing the need to
protect individual residential neighborhoods
(and other areas deemed
“valuable” by a community) and the
need to provide those things wanted

and desired by an entire community
(such as jobs, services and goods,
public infrastructure, and recreation).
These two items exist at the
same time and compete for the limited
space available in any town upon
which to be built. Unlike an activity
allowed by right (such as a single
house in a residential zone), which
would not come before a planning
and zoning commission for review,
an activity that requires a special
permit process is reviewed by the
commission.
It is an additional step designed to
provide a thorough assessment of
the proposed activity. It gives a planning
and zoning commission the
additional time to identify if the
activity is or is not in conformity
with a town’s master plan, the zoning
regulations, and the method of
zoning used by a town. It requires a
commission to determine the compatibility
of the proposed use of the
land with what already exists
around it. It allows a commission to
put conditions on a special permit
approval in order to lessen or prevent
any adverse impacts the activity
may have upon the surrounding
area.
First and foremost, a special permit
is granted only to an activity
that is already allowed by the regulations
in a specific zoning district.
Thus, before someone seeks permission
to do such an activity, the regulations
provide detail for everyone
to know ahead of time what is
allowed in any zoning district. The
regulations are not changed after
the fact of the application having
been submitted so as to allow the
activity to be done (that is how spot
zoning can occur).
Here is how this all works in your
town. A Plan of Conservation and
Development describes the desire of
preserving residential neighborhoods.
A zoning map is created
showing where the residential zoning
districts are located. Zoning regulations
are written that detail the
specifics of permitted and prohibited
land use activities in the residential
zone.
Some uses are granted by-right
(see above). Your town recognizes
that there are various land uses that
can be compatible with houses and
do not need to be located far away
from them, such as churches and
religious buildings, small shops,
home occupations, schools, or parks
and recreational areas. The zoning
regulations allow for these activities
in the residential zone, but in order
to protect the neighborhoods, such

Anthony Martucci.
The play highlights The Futrelle Sisters,
and their antics to save their dying town of
Fayro, Texas, from extinction by convinc-
uses require a special permit before
they can be done. The commission
reviews the master planning documents
and zoning regulations. It
conducts a public hearing so the
community, including those who
live near the land to be developed,
can have an opportunity to know
what is going on and provide meaningful
input. Depending upon the
complexity of the proposed activity,
expert review may be needed, such
as by engineers. The commission
can deny the application if it is
clearly not allowed by the regulations
or if it is incompatible with
the residential zone. The commission
may approve the application,
but attach a number of conditions
on the approval. There could be
many conditions, such as those that
pertain to hours of operation; lighting
and noise; parking and on-site
traffic; size and height of buildings;
monitoring of construction; protection
of nearby land, habitat, and
drinking water sources; and distance
from nearby houses.
This ability for a planning and
zoning commission to apply conditions
of approval upon an application
is key. It is how a commission
adds layers of protections. Public
safety, health, welfare, quality of
life, and environmental stewardship
are important to us all.

patients.
Lane’s daily responsibilities include seeing individuals for
initial psychiatric evaluations and following up on patients
regarding their psychiatric medications that she prescribes and
supervises. She works closely with the department’s clinical
and office staff including the Medical Director of Behavioral
Health Services, Dr. Manish Sapra and has regular contact with
individuals’ primary care physicians and other mental health
providers in the community. She is also responsible for managing
the pharmaceutical samples in the clinic, administering
medication injections, takes part in meetings and attends conferences,
seminars and professional education programs to
maintain her expertise using up to date information and techniques.
While maintaining her position at Day Kimball, Lane has
enhanced her expertise by taking on other opportunities within
in her field. She has served as a clinical nursing instructor and
worked in several types of practices and programs. Lane said, “I
have always come home to the clinic work here at Day Kimball

Lane achieved a Bachelor’s Degree in Biology from Eastern
Connecticut State University, a Bachelor’s in Nursing from
Salve Regina University, a Master’s degree in Nursing from the
University of Connecticut and a post graduate certificate in
Primary Care Nursing as a Gerontological Nurse Practitioner.
She is also a member of the American Nurses Association
(ANA) and is board certified as a Psychiatric Mental Health
Clinical Nurse Specialist by the ANCC.
In the community, Lane is known as someone who gets
involved to help others. She is a co-founder along with Dr.
Sherry Kroll of the Day Kimball Healthcare Multisport Team.
The team’s mission is to empower individuals toward healthy
lifestyles by competing in triathlons. Last year the team raised
over $12,000 for a number of Day Kimball programs including
the “Period of Purple Crying,” an educational program that
helps parents understand that crying babies are healthy and
normal, and give encouragement that the crying period will
indeed end.

reached; otherwise no decision
becomes a default approval.
Sometimes, a special permit
approval is called illegal spot zoning
when someone does not agree with
the special permit decision that was
made. Special permits and spot zoning
are not the same and are quite
different if the special permit
process is handled properly.
When done with due diligence and
fundamental fairness, a special permit
process can be an invaluable
means of how a town guides future
growth and development, striking a
practical common sense balance
between individual property rights
not being too restricted and a community’s
land not being used unregulated.
Special permits can be used
effectively for a town to develop
smart growth policies, to minimize
sprawl, to limit encroachment upon
natural resources, and to lessen the
need for expensive public infrastructure.
It provides that extra
proactive step in the review process
by which we all benefit.

“A team co-captain, Jamie’s size is not at

by her statistics this year,” said Brooks.

SPORTS CORRESPONDENT
KILLINGLY — Killingly girls’
basketball coach Jodi Petrozak has
had an uphill battle for the past
three seasons. Since she began the
head coaching responsibilities at
Killingly things haven’t been easy.
This year wasn’t easy as well, as
they finished the season with a disappointing
1-19 record. Giving up
wasn’t an option for Petrozak, as
she knew it would be tough, but the
building blocks are slowly coming
together.
“From a progress standpoint we
are heading in the right direction,”
said Petrozak. “We had a lot more
BY BENJAMIN R. KIPP
SPORTS CORRESPONDENT
PUTNAM — Setting a school record with 20
wins this winter, the Putnam Science Academy
boys’ basketball squad wasn’t just another prep
school basketball team. Heading into the season,
Mustangs coach Tom Espinosa knew they
would be good, but he also knew that this year’s
schedule would be the toughest in the five years
of the program.
“We beat some teams we weren’t supposed to,
and we didn’t lose to anyone we weren’t supposed
to either,” said Espinosa. “We even
pulled off some upsets this past year, and we
really had a great season. I knew we’d be
around 20 wins, but we did better than expected.”
Even though the Mustangs lost six games,
five of the six defeats were losses of four points
of fewer. The only legitimate setback of the season
was a 65-45 loss to St. Andrews on Feb. 18.
This year, more so than others in the brief
five-year history of the program, Espinosa felt
all the pieces from his scout team to his starters
competitive games this year and
the girls were in a lot more games.”
Last year the Redgals averaged
losses in the 20-point range. This
year two games were losses by single
digits, while six other losses
were in the 11-15 point range. Even
though it still doesn’t look good, it’s
certainly getting better.
“There were at least five to six
games I thought we should have
won,” said Petrozak. “Our starting
point guard was out with a concussion
for the first two games and
both of those games were winnable
games which we lost.”
It wasn’t a secret that Devin Hill
and Megan Robinson were the focal
fit together like a puzzle.
“From [players] one through 11 everyone
knew their role,” said Espinosa. “Even the
scout team guys that didn’t play much did a
good job of running the scout offense on the
opponents’ offense. This years group was a perfect
fit and it doesn’t happen a lot, it was unbelievable
how they fed off each other and it just
worked.”
There were a few flaws to the 2010-11 edition
of the Mustangs, though. Losing five games
within four points, the Mustangs’ free throw
percentage as a team was well below what
Espinosa expected in those defeats. The lack of
a deep bench also forced the Putnam Science
Academy starters to play a lot of minutes,
which also took its toll as the season continued
into February.
“As a team we shot under 70-percent from the
line and that’s bad, if we shot better we might
have won three-four-five more games, it killed
us all year long,” said Espinosa. “I think we
also lost our legs. We weren’t shooting the ball
at the end of the season like we were at the
beginning of the season.”
Leading the team
with nearly eight
rebounds a game, freshman
forward Tyree
Robinson was a pleas-
SPORTS
Redgals keep spirits high despite slow season
points of the offense this year. Hill
averaged a double-double in all but
five games while earning second
team All-Eastern Connecticut
Conference (ECC) honors, while
lone senior Robinson helped in the
scoring column, averaging 12
points a contest.
Defensively, Alicia Giambatista
was solid all year long. Petrozak
played Giambatista on the opposition’s
best player.
Knowing that Hill and Robinson
carried the offensive burden, the
duo was almost instantly double
teamed when they had the ball,
which meant that role players
needed to step up their offensive
responsibility. Petrozak knows that
they were capable of making shots,
but for whatever reason the players
were too tentative to take the necessary
shots.
“I would have loved for the other
players to shoot more often,” said
Petrozak. “Of the games we were
highly competitive in all five
starters scored and in the game we
won, Devin and Megan were 15
points plus, the other three were
six points plus.”
Before the season started
Petrozack knew that Hill would be

ant surprise.
“Every game he was battling 18, 19, and
sometimes 20-year-olds for rebounds and he
was a beast inside,” said Espinosa. “He also led
the team with two blocks per game, and he was
like a senior out there. He stepped in right
away and competed with some talented kids,
which was amazing.”
Leading the team in scoring was Desmond
Williams. Even though Williams left the team
toward the end of the season, he finished averaging
23.3 points per game, by far the team’s
best. Williams also drained 70 3-pointers.
“He shot the ball much better than I thought
and he was much more an outside scorer than
what I expected,” said Espinosa.
Upsetting New England Prep School Athletic
Conference foes like Winchendon, Lee
Academy, Vineer (a team from Canada) and
Kimball Union were games that Espinosa had
question marks about earning a victory, but
they came out on top.
Point guard Zaquan Nelson led the team in
assists with 142 for the season and set a single
game record for helpers with 13 in back-to-back
games against Hyde (Feb. 9) and St. Thomas
Moore (Feb. 11).
On Feb. 19, vs. Hebron Academy, the
Mustangs played in their 100th career game,
marking another milestone for the young program.

“Playing with the AAU team this
past summer definitely changed
her game,” said Petrozak. “She had
some coaches that helped her work
on her moves inside and she performed
above what I expected.”
Petrozak and the Redgals weren’t
happy with the season’s outcome,
but the season didn’t reflect the
effort and hard work put in by the
team.
“They never walked off the court
hanging their heads as far as their
effort level,” said Petrozak. “They
left it on the court and they were
disappointed in the results, but I’m
proud of them for what they did
this year.”
Nici named new Tourtellotte softball coach
BY BENJAMIN R. KIPP
SPORTS CORRESPONDENT
THOMPSON — Roughly a month
ago, Brooke Nici (Nee-chee) was
named the new Tourtellotte girls’
softball coach.
“It’s exciting and I’m more than
honored to have the position,” she
said. “I’m really lucky that we have a
great group of senior girls coming
back. I couldn’t be more excited
because it’s everything I’ve dreamed
of.”
Nici isn’t a stranger to softball. As
a 2002 graduate of Nashoba
Regional High School in Bolton,
Mass., she played the sport and then
graduated from Eastern
Connecticut State University
Terriers cap off
undefeated season
The Woodstock Terriers, a scrappy group of
4th and 5th grade girls, competed on Friday
night, March 4, in the annual Paul Wentworth
Basketball Tournament. The tournament was
held at Tourtellotte High School in Thompson.
The girls began the tournament on
Wednesday, March 2, with a resounding win
against the Woodstock Deacons, which
allowed them to advance to the semifinal
round.
The girls began the night in the preliminary
round and defeated a tough Thompson team.
With this semifinal round win the girls
advanced to the finals, which was against the
Woodstock Catamounts. Both teams fought
hard, and emotions ran high; the Catamounts
put on a late fourth quarter rally that nearly
tied the game up, but the Terriers were able to
hold on to cap off an undefeated season.
The girls, many of whom never played
before, learned a great deal about the game of
basketball and with the help and support of
the Woodstock Recreation Commission, their
parents and coaches, ended their successful
season on a high note.
(ECSU) in 2007. Her primary position
is pitching, but during her
career at ECSU she also played outfield
and second base. During Nici’s
senior year she was a second team
all-conference selection and a team
captain.
Nici then attended Central
Connecticut State University to get
her teaching certificate, and was an
assistant at ECSU for a year and a
half. Nici is also involved in the
Connecticut Women’s Softball
League, where she plays on an
under-30 team out of Simsbury.
“I’ve always wanted to teach and
coach, and softball has been my
sport for my entire life, and I’ve
always wanted to be involved in soft-
ball in some way,” she said.
Last year Nici came to
Tourtellotte and began at the high
school as a biology teacher. This
year her role changed to the middle
school where she now teaches life
science.
Tourtellotte Athletic Director
Debbie Spinelli is pleased with the
new head coach.
“She has an extensive background
in softball,” she said. “She’s very
familiar with the girls because she
coached last year and we wanted to
be consistent with the program.
She’s very, very disciplined and
she’s very organized and pays attention
to detail, and those are some of
the things that make a difference in
big games.”
Nici has already put some lofty
goals in front of herself.
“I want to make sure that the girls
are fundamentally sound and they
understand there is a certain way
that the game is supposed to be
played and deserves to be played and
I provide them with whatever opportunity
and avenue I can to make
them successful,” she said.
Nici is 26-years-old, which means
she hasn’t been separated from the
college game for too long, and she’s
optimistic that she can put herself
and the Lady Tigers in a position to
compete at a high level in the
Eastern Connecticut Conference
small division.

“I’m very confident I can teach the
girls the skills and fundamentals,”
she said. “It will be getting the team
to mesh and making sure I’m not the
one making mistakes in a game that
will set them back.”
Nici will put her coaching skills
immediately to use when the official
practice season starts Monday,
March 14.
Tim O’Brien will be helping Nici
out as the assistant coach this season.
“I think Tim and I will work good
together because he has a solid softball
background,” said Nici. “He’s
someone that can mentor me in a
way because I don’t have the years
as a coach as he has.”
Charter Oak Credit
Union/Killingly Rec
Softball registration
It is that time of year when the winter
sports turn to outdoor activity. Many of
the best athletes around the Northeast
Corner of Connecticut break out their
bats, gloves, and spikes and prepare for
another season on the softball fields. This
year the Charter Oak Credit
Union/Killingly Recreation Softball
League will field another season with six
teams playing in the men's modified
league. Returning will be Foxy's Gang, last
year’s champion, along with runner up
Moosup VFW, Universal Fiber Optic, Pizza
101/Mozzarella's, Ducat's, and newcomer
Hudson Accessibility Products.
All the teams will be looking forward to
getting some of the best players in the area
to fill their rosters. This year the season
will begin in May, giving all teams an
extensive schedule with 20 games and a
double elimination tournament, and it all
ending by the end of August.
Over the past 30 plus years Killingly and
Owen Bell Park has been a hotbed of
Modified and Slow Pitch softball. Last year
the league was played under the USSSA
banner and will be back at it again.
Last year the slow pitch league did not
materialize, mostly due to a late start. This
year the league is looking for 4-6 men's
teams and will play on Sundays. We are
also looking for 4-6 women's teams to take
to the diamond once again and they would
play on Tuesday evenings.
If there are any teams out there looking
for a place to play please contact the league
commissioner at (860) 774-8083. If there is
anyone out there that might be looking for
a team, please also contact the commissioner.

What Does MS Mean To You?

oral therapies that treat
Phil Keoghan, host of “The Amazing
Race” reality show, knows there is nothing
more amazing than watching someone
respond to a challenge with grace and
power. Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a lifealtering
disease that affects each person
in a unique and different way. So if you’re
like Phil and know someone living with
MS, you too know someone truly amazing.
Multiple sclerosis is an unpredictable,
often disabling disease of the central
nervous system that interrupts the flow of
information within the brain and between
the brain and body. Symptoms range from
reduced or lost mobility to numbness and
tingling to blindness and paralysis. The
progress, severity and specific symptoms
of MS in any one person cannot yet be predicted.
Most people with MS are diagnosed
between the ages of 20 and 50, with
at least two to three times more women
than men having the disease. In the U.S.

Centaurs finish ‘disappointing’ season,
still work as a team
BY BENJAMIN R. KIPP
SPORTS CORRESPONDENT
WOODSTOCK — Finishing the season
with a 6-14 record, Woodstock Academy head
boys’ basketball coach Greg Smith had only
one word to describe the season: disappointing.
Making the Connecticut Interscholastic
Athletic Conference (CIAC) and the Eastern
Connecticut Conference (ECC) playoffs were
two goals that eluded the Centaurs this season.
“The teams that we played this year had an
overall winning percentage of .720,” said
Smith. “We’re talking about some teams that
have made some noise in the ECC and even in
the state playoffs, we played some pretty good
teams this year, that’s for sure.”
The Centaurs weren’t far from earning
eight wins to get into postseason. Two losses
to Fitch by combined seven points, a twopoint
loss to Tourtellotte, a four-point loss to
Norwich Free Academy, and a five-point loss
to Plainfield toward the end of the season
were close defeats that could have gone either
way, but the ball just didn’t bounce in
Woodstock Academy’s favor this year.
Smith knew freshman Greg Lowry was a
guy that could do good things, but what the
coach didn’t know was how good he would be.
“He played in all 20 games and averaged
about three points a game, two assists, one
turnover, and he was on the floor when the
final buzzer sounded for 15 of our 20 games,”
said Smith.
Seniors Todd Blodgett and Mike Magee
provided excellent leadership all season long.

“When we went down to play NFA, Mike
defended a 6-foot-9 kid,” said Smith. “He
never made any bones about it, and went out
and did his job.”
Even though the Centaurs finished on the
outside looking in for playoff action, Smith
felt the team never gave up, which showed the
true character of the team, stemming from
his seniors.
“They came out and competed, we were in
every game,” said Smith. “I’d give them a
game plan and they’d go out and execute it to
the best of their ability. I told these guys that
they would be successful in anything they do,
because they never gave up, they always
fought to the end.”
Scoring consistently was something Smith
felt the team struggled with this season.
Scoring ranged from high 20s to high 60s.
Overall the Centaurs averaged 51.5 points per
game, but gave up an average of 58.1 points a
game.
Even in the disappointing season, the kids
never lost focus of playing together.
“Everyone in the program including me
was disappointed in the way the season
turned out,” said Smith. “None of us including
me was disappointed in the effort they
put forth on a daily basis.”
Blodgett led the team in scoring with 10.2
points per game, and in rebounding with 4.5
boards per game contest as well. Greg Pike
was second in scoring and rebounding to
Blodgett, while Magee led the team in assists
with 2.5 helpers per game.

Charming Woodstock Cape
T
here are a lot of listings on the market right now, but this
one has that rare quality that puts it out ahead of the
rest…LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION! Situated back
from the road, on one of Woodstock’s scenic roads bordered by stone
walls, is a very charming 3bd/2bth Cape. The paved driveway leads to
a 2 story garage attached to the house through a windowed breezeway

a laundry on main level. The land is open and treed, and very private.

RELIGION
The ongoing conversation
And the word of the LORD came to
him: “What are you doing here,
Elijah?” He replied, “I have been
very zealous for the LORD God
Almighty. The Israelites have
rejected your covenant, broken
down your altars, and put your
prophets to death with the sword. I
am the only one left, and now they
are trying to kill me too.” The
LORD said, “Go out and stand on the mountain
in the presence of the LORD, for the
LORD is about to pass by.” Then a great and
powerful wind tore the mountains apart and
shattered the rocks before the LORD, but the
LORD was not in the wind. After the wind
there was an earthquake, but the LORD was
not in the earthquake. After the earthquake
came a fire, but the LORD was not in the fire.
And after the fire came a gentle whisper. When
Elijah heard it, he pulled his cloak over his
face and went out and stood at the mouth of
the cave. Then a voice said to him, “What are
you doing here, Elijah?” (1 Kings 19: 9-13)
Jorge Rodriguez was the orneriest bandit on
the Texas-Mexico border.
The guy would often slip across the line, raid
the banks of South Texas, and steal ‘em
blind. Before they could catch him, he would
race back into Mexico and hide out. No matter
how hard the law tried, they could never
catch him.
Finally, the Texans got fed up with this nonsense
and decided to put the toughest Texas
Ranger they had on the case. After only a few
days of searching, the Ranger found Jorge in
a dusty, dingy saloon south of the border. He
bolted into the bar, pulled both guns, and
yelled, “Okay, stick ‘em up Jorge; you’re
under arrest! I know that you’ve got the
money!”
Suddenly, a little guy over in the corner
butted in. “Wait, wait . . . just a minute,
señor,” he said. “Jorge does not speak
English. He’s my amigo, so I’ll translate for
you.”
The Ranger explained, “Look, we know that
Jorge is the bandit who has taken hundreds
of thousands — about a million bucks actually
— from our banks. We want it back now! If
he doesn’t give it back, I’ll fill him full of
lead. You tell him that!”
“OK, OK, I’ll tell him.”
So the little boy turned to Jorge and repeated
everything the Ranger had said.
The Ranger, not knowing any Spanish, waited
for Jorge’s reply. Jorge, listened, frowned,
and then responded in Spanish, “OK, they
got me. Tell him to go down to the well at the
end of town, count four stones down from the
BEYOND THE
PEWS
TIM VAMOSI
top of the well, and then pull out
the loose stone. All the money I’ve
stolen is hidden behind that stone.”
Then the clever little translator
turned to the Texas Ranger and
translated with a shrug, “Jorge
says, ‘Go ahead, you big mouth; go
ahead and shoot ‘cause I’m not
telling you where the money is.”
Not being able to understand what
another person is saying can get you into a
load of problems in this world. Sometimes
we have that problem in our relationship
with the Lord. There are times in our life
when it seems that his voice is either distant
or silent. During those times, does God really
stop speaking to us or is it that we are no
longer listening?
In the passage above Elijah was going
through one of those seasons in his life. He
had been serving faithfully as a prophet of
God for several years under incredibly difficult
circumstances. Under the leadership of
Ahab and Jezebel, Israel was living in open
rebellion against the Lord. Instead of following
God and serving him only, Ahab led
Israel into the worship of false pagan gods.
Scripture says that Ahab did more to anger
God than all of the kings of Israel before
him. In comes Elijah, who through the power
of God commands the clouds to withhold
rain. Finally after several years of drought
comes the confrontation at Mr. Carmel
between the one faithful man of God and 850
false prophets of Ahab and Jezebel. You
know how the story unwinds. The prophets
of Baal dance and cry out all day long to their
gods, but nothing happens. Elijah prays to
God. The fire of the LORD fell and burned up
not only the sacrifice, but the stones, the soil
and even the water in the trenches around
the altar. The prophets of Baal were put to
death and the hearts of the people were
turned back to the LORD.
But the story doesn’t end there. After Jezebel
hears that her prophets were defeated, she
makes a death threat against Elijah. “May
the gods deal with me, be it ever so severely,
if by this time tomorrow I do not make your
life like that of one of them.” The Bible says
at that point, Elijah was afraid and ran for
his life.
Now catch this — Elijah was a man who
throughout his ministry had continually
heard the voice of God speaking to him
directly. It was the voice of God that had
given him his confidence in facing the difficulties
in his life. Now all of a sudden he listens
to a different voice. It was the voice of

one person mouthing threats that
would not have intimidated him in
the least in the past. But now her
voice is loud and scary and God’s
voice seems to be silent.
Emotionally he is spent and ultimately

Wrobel. Walter made his home in Moosup and
Danielson.
In 1958 he worked on the construction of the
former Anchor Glass in Dayville, and was
employed for over 25 years working in the maintenance
department and as a tank operator.
Walter also worked in the Marriott Stone
Quarry, Sterling.
He was a talented stone mason.
He enjoyed motorcycles.
He will be remembered dancing with his
beloved wife to the Tennessee Waltz.
His funeral was held Saturday, March 12, 2011
from the Gagnon and Costello Funeral Home, 33
Reynolds St., followed by a Mass of Christian
Burial in St. Joseph Church, 350 Hartford Pike,
Dayville. Burial was in St. Joseph Cemetery.
To share a memory with his family, “Light a
Candle” at www.gagnonandcostellofh.com.
reply, “I’ve been very zealous for
you Lord – but everything just keeps
going wrong! I’m all alone and now
their trying to hurt me too!”
It’s even hard for God to talk to a
person who is whining and hosting
their own pity party. So God decides
to remind him of a few things. He
sends a wind and the mountains are
torn apart and huge boulders are
shattered before him — but the
voice of God was not in the wind. He
sends an earthquake and the foundations
of the earth are shaken
beneath him — but the voice of God

OBITUARIES
WOODSTOCK, Conn. — Joseph Zanchetti,
83, formerly of Whitinsville, died at home,
Friday, March 11.
His wife, Olive “Sis” (Williams) Zanchetti,
died in 2001.
He is survived by a daughter, Anne Marie
Zanchetti, with whom he lived; a son, John
Bagley, of Gilbert, Ariz.; three sisters, Ann and
Marie Zanchetti, and Margaret Wilson, all of
Whitinsville; two grandchildren; six greatgrandchildren,
and several great-great-grandchildren.?
Mr. Zanchetti was born in Milford, Mass.,
Nov. 19, 1927, the son of Enrico and Mary
(Morcone) Zanchetti. He grew up in
Whitinsville. He lived in Arizona for 30 years
and returned to Grafton and Whitinsville
prior to moving to Woodstock 10 years ago.?
The ongoing conversation
was not in the earthquake. He sends
an inferno of fire that consumes
everything not destroyed by the
wind and the earthquake — but the
voice of God was not in the fire. (All
this was the Lord’s way of saying,
“Can you hear me now?”) After God
displays His awesome power and
jars Elijah out of his pity party, then
came a gentle whisper. Elijah finally
started listening to the Master’s
voice once again. And the Lord simply
picks up the conversation with
his child that had been interrupted
by Elijah’s distractions.
Joseph Zanchetti, 83
You might be going through a season
in your life right now where it
seems as if God’s voice has been
silent. But my guess is if you will
stop for a moment and shift your
concentration from the distractions
and difficulties of your life to the
One who has the power to change
those difficulties — you will once
again hear His sweet gentle voice.
The Lord wants the conversation to
continue. If necessary, He’ll rock
your world in order to get your
attention. But the wise person realizes
it doesn’t have to get to that.
THE DEADLINE to submit calendar listings
is Monday at noon. Send to

used her skills as a dressmaker to dress the
elite in the finest fashion. Among her clients
was Mary Todd Lincoln. Lizzy Keckly’s role
at the war-time White House expanded to
become that of a confidante to the First Lady
and an informal advisor to President
Abraham Lincoln. Mrs. Keckly would also
be instrumental in establishing the
Contraband Relief Association in
Washington D.C. to help newly freed, wandering
ex-slaves. Ms. Denease’s portrayal
will take the audience on a journey to 19th
century America to meet the remarkable
African-American woman to whom Mary
Todd Lincoln wrote “I consider you my best
