Parking amendments<br />
approved for Wal-Mart<br />
GOES TO ZONING COMMISSION NEXT<br />
BY MATT SANDERSON<br />
VILLAGER STAFF WRITER<br />
PUTNAM — The Zoning<br />
Commission will soon be voting on<br />
a text amendment to reduce the<br />
parking ratio and space size,<br />
paving the way for a proposed<br />
expansion of the town’s Wal-Mart.<br />
The Planning Commission<br />
approved the text amendment last<br />
Monday night, Aug. 23.<br />
Wal-Mart officials approached<br />
<strong>Putnam</strong> this year to add 50,000<br />
square feet to the existing 108,000-<br />
square-foot space at 625 School St.<br />
The application, if approved by the<br />
town, will create a 24-hour<br />
Walmart Supercenter store, similar<br />
to the one proposed in<br />
Brooklyn and others erected<br />
across the country, such as in nearby<br />
Windham.<br />
“We’ve reviewed the text amendments,”<br />
said John Filchak, executive<br />
director for the Northeast<br />
Connecticut Council of<br />
Governments. “Similar to Price<br />
Chopper, they changed the parking<br />
standards in <strong>Putnam</strong>.”<br />
Filchak referred to the parking<br />
lots of Sears and Stop & Shop further<br />
east on Route 44, and how<br />
their parking lots are overly spacious.<br />
“You’ve probably never seen it<br />
full,” he said. “With most parking<br />
lots, they tend to ‘over-park.’<br />
There’s a lot of blacktop that’s not<br />
necessary.”<br />
He said most older retail stores’<br />
parking lots were built to fit vehicles<br />
from the 1950s, with fins<br />
designed to the sides and rear<br />
lights. With the text amendment to<br />
the new Wal-Mart proposal, the<br />
new surface will be less impervious<br />
on storm water runoff, which<br />
is aimed to be better for the environment.<br />
“The community wants less of a<br />
parking burden,” added Filchak,<br />
“and reflect a modern sized car,<br />
not having it go to quite a worsecase<br />
scenario.”<br />

The <strong>Putnam</strong> Foundry mill complex on Furnace Street. The owner, Peter Palo of<br />
Wolf Den Estates Inc., has been mandated with a judge’s motion in <strong>Putnam</strong><br />
Superior Court to demolish three buildings currently deemed unsafe on the site,<br />
while also presenting plans later this month to remediate the remaining buildings.<br />
Foundry owners<br />
receive court mandate<br />
BY MATT SANDERSON<br />
VILLAGER STAFF WRITER<br />
PUTNAM — The owners of the<br />
former <strong>Putnam</strong> Foundry site were<br />
handed a motion from <strong>Putnam</strong><br />
Superior Court earlier this summer<br />
to demolish and remediate<br />
areas of concern on the property,<br />
stemming from two arson incidents<br />
occurring there over the last<br />
three years.<br />
If the defendant, Peter Palo of<br />
Wolf Den Estates Inc., fails to comply<br />
within 90 days of the “stipulation<br />
for judgment,” dealt on June<br />
22, the town will be allowed to<br />
enter the property and demolish<br />
any or all buildings deemed<br />
unsafe. Licensed contractors must<br />
be used in the demolition process,<br />
the five-page court motion states.<br />

Visions of the future<br />
ZONING CHANGES, FUTURE<br />
TOWN VISION COLLIDE<br />
BY MATT SANDERSON<br />
VILLAGER STAFF WRITER<br />
PUTNAM — Expectations for<br />
an evolved downtown <strong>Putnam</strong><br />
were met with a realization last<br />
week that the updating of the<br />
town’s zoning regulations completely<br />
coincide with the future<br />
“vision” of the area.<br />
More than 30 residents attended<br />
the latest “<strong>Putnam</strong> 2020: A Vision<br />
for Downtown” session last<br />
Tuesday night, Aug. 24, at <strong>Putnam</strong><br />
Middle School.<br />
John Filchak, executive director<br />
for the Northeastern<br />
Connecticut Council of<br />
Governments, gave a presentation<br />
on <strong>Putnam</strong>’s current zoning districts<br />
and showed projections of<br />
how zoning regulation changes<br />
will alter the landscape of downtown.<br />
Some talking points taken<br />
from the meeting were how the<br />
new approach to zoning will combine<br />
the old and new zoning districts,<br />
what the design guidelines<br />
will look like after the “visioning”<br />
action items are dealt with and<br />
how residential zone changes will<br />
affect the town’s affordable family<br />
housing.<br />
“We’re pretty close to having a<br />
full document for the Zoning<br />
Commission to review,” said<br />
Filchak. “Then, hopefully it will<br />
go to public hearing.”<br />
Filchak said there are some<br />
unique elements to the town<br />
updating its zoning regulations,<br />
which have not been updated in<br />
over 20 years.<br />
“<strong>Putnam</strong>’s zoning regulations<br />
look like a Betty Crocker cookbook<br />
crammed with recipes,”<br />
joked Filchak.<br />

PUTNAM VILLAGER<br />
AG wins court injunction against Pomfret man<br />
FORCED TO CEASE ALL TIMBER HARVESTING ACTIVITY<br />
BY RICH HOSFORD<br />
VILLAGER STAFF WRITER<br />
POMFRET — A Pomfret man<br />
accused of illegally harvesting timber<br />
has been told by the state courts to<br />
put down his chainsaw.<br />
Connecticut Attorney General<br />
Richard Blumenthal won a court<br />
injunction Monday, Aug. 30, that stops<br />
illegal logging in multiple<br />
Connecticut towns where extensive<br />
un-permitted tree harvesting —<br />
enough timber to build about 75 houses<br />
— has already caused significant<br />
environmental damage.<br />
Blumenthal pursued the temporary<br />
injunction in coordination with the<br />
Department of Environmental<br />
Protection (DEP) against Scott Lee of<br />
Pomfret. Blumenthal first announced<br />
that he was seeking the injunction<br />
against Lee on Monday, July 26.<br />
“This court order temporarily stops<br />
uncertified logging that has already<br />
destroyed trees, soil and stream channels<br />
on nearly 100 acres of land,”<br />
Blumenthal said. “Uncertified and<br />
untrained individuals engaging in<br />
commercial logging can cause significant<br />
damage.”<br />
Blumenthal added that such work<br />
could harm not only the property<br />
where it occurs, but can disrupt the<br />
land and water systems of neighboring<br />
properties.<br />
“Improper logging threatens to<br />
harm not only the properties where<br />
logging occurs — but surrounding<br />
streams and land,” Blumenthal said.<br />
According to the release from the<br />
Attorney General’s office, sometime<br />
in early January, Lee contracted with<br />
Genesis Properties LLC, owner of 142<br />
Park Road in Bethel, to perform a timber<br />
harvest on about 65 acres of land.<br />
Lee began the work later that month.<br />
Then, in April of this year, Lee<br />
entered into a contract with the<br />
owner of 585 Mashmoquet Road in<br />
Pomfret to harvest more timber on 30<br />
acres of land.<br />
In April, Lee also contracted with<br />
the property owner of 106 Rhode<br />
Island Line Road of <strong>Putnam</strong> to illegally<br />
harvest more trees. Logging on<br />
that property has not yet begun.<br />
According to the attorney general,<br />
Lee is required to have a DEP Forest<br />
Practitioner Certification to contract<br />
for and harvest 25,000 board feet in<br />
any 12-month period on another’s<br />
property. Lee has already harvested<br />
an estimated 750,000 board feet of<br />
trees in only five months at the properties<br />
in Bethel and Pomfret combined.<br />
Blumenthal said in the release that<br />
along with the illegal harvesting,<br />
there was also significant environmental<br />
damage left by the work at the<br />
sites.<br />
Connecticut DEP Foresters visited<br />
both properties and discovered significant<br />
damage to inland wetlands and<br />
watercourses, including un-permitted<br />
filling of a watercourse with silt<br />
and woody debris, filling of wetlands<br />
with sediment, erosion of hillsides,<br />
and diversion of stream channels, the<br />
release states. The harvests have also<br />
caused deep and extensive rutting of<br />
the soils, disrupting soil hydrology.<br />
Blumenthal said he try to make the<br />
injunction permanent, now that the<br />
temporary injunction has been<br />
approved.<br />
“My office will continue to fight for<br />
a permanent injunction to protect<br />
against un-permitted logging and<br />
needless destruction of Connecticut<br />
land,” he said.<br />
According to the DEP, the Forest<br />
Practices Act, passed in the 1990s,<br />
includes a permit requirement to<br />
UConn offers look at invasive species<br />
STORRS — The Connecticut Invasive Plant Working<br />
Group will present “Challenges and Successes: Working<br />
Cooperatively to Manage Invasive Plants”, a one-day symposium<br />
at the University of Connecticut in Storrs, on<br />
Thursday, October 14 from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.<br />
The symposium will address the importance of native<br />
habitats, how invasive species harm these habitats, and<br />
why cooperative efforts are vital to understanding and<br />
managing our natural landscapes.<br />
All who are interested in invasive plant issues are<br />
invited to attend. This symposium seeks to draw together<br />
municipal staff (parks and recreation, public works,<br />
inland wetlands/conservation commissions), nursery, tree<br />
and landscape professionals, educators, students, landscape<br />
architects, gardening enthusiasts, state and federal<br />
employees, members of conservation organizations and<br />
the public into a discussion of the challenges presented by<br />
invasive plants and how we can promote native plants by<br />
managing invasives.<br />
The keynote speaker will be Dr. Bernd Blossey of<br />
Cornell University. Dr. Blossey’s presentation is titled<br />
“The Power of Choice: New Frontiers in Invasive Plant<br />
Management and Conservation.” Concurrent afternoon<br />
ensure only qualified people are<br />
removing substantial amounts of<br />
timber from the forest.<br />
“Essentially, anyone who wants to<br />
practice forestry or cut trees in<br />
Connecticut has to pass a competency<br />
exam, like an electrician or a<br />
plumber,” said Chris Martin, DEP<br />
director of the Forestry Division. “It’s<br />
done wonders.”<br />
Martin added there are 500 to 600<br />
annually certified forest practitioners<br />
in the state. The names of certified<br />
practitioners can be found on the DEP<br />
website, and Martin said he encourages<br />
everyone to do some homework<br />
before hiring anyone to cut.<br />
“For private forest owners, timber<br />
can be good, but when you have property<br />
on your land, get some references,”<br />
he said. “Homework on their<br />
side is very beneficial because there<br />
are folks out there who can swindle<br />
people. We want people to feel confident.”<br />
DEP Commissioner Amey Marrella<br />
said the agency tries to educate and<br />
inform landowners and forest practitioners<br />
of the rules of forestry activities<br />
and the requirements need to be<br />
in accordance with the state. The<br />
goal, she said, is to reduce the possibility<br />
of such violations.<br />
“But,” she said, “When violations<br />
do occur, we have a responsibility to<br />
uphold the law and to enforce the<br />
Forest Practices Act. We take this and<br />
our other stewardship responsibilities<br />
very seriously.”<br />

Blumenthal visits Quiet Corner on campaign trail<br />
BY RICH HOSFORD<br />
VILLAGER STAFF WRITER<br />
POMFRET — Connecticut<br />
Attorney General and<br />
Democratic Senate candidate<br />
Richard Blumenthal met with<br />
local business people for a lunch<br />
in the Quiet Corner last week.<br />
Blumenthal, who has been the<br />
state attorney general for 20<br />
years, was at the Harvest<br />
Restaurant Wednesday, Aug. 25,<br />
for a Northeastern Connecticut<br />
Chamber of Commerce luncheon.<br />
Blumenthal was there as a politician<br />
running for office, speaking<br />
about what he would do to help<br />
both businesses and taxpayers in<br />
the region and the state if he is<br />
elected to the U.S. Senate.<br />
Blumenthal’s opponent in the<br />
November election, Republican<br />
Linda McMahon, spoke at a similar<br />
event for the chamber on<br />
Thursday, July 22.<br />
Blumenthal began by stating he<br />
had been in the Quiet Corner<br />
many times before and always<br />
enjoys it.<br />
“I have been here on a number<br />
of occasions — I know this area<br />
and how deeply committed people<br />
here are to the state,” he said.<br />
“This place has the community<br />
fabric that makes public service<br />
so important. I’m delighted to be<br />
out of Hartford and among people<br />
who make things and do things.”<br />
Blumenthal said that since<br />
starting his Senate campaign he<br />
has been traveling the state, listening<br />
to people’s concerns.<br />
“I hear and see that people are<br />
struggling to make ends meet,” he<br />
said. “They are very often unhappy<br />
with Washington D.C. and feel<br />
the people there are not listening<br />
or standing up for individuals or<br />
small businesses.”<br />
Blumenthal then highlighted a<br />
couple of recent decisions by lawmakers<br />
that he felt demonstrated<br />
a commitment to special interests<br />
and not to the general public. For<br />
example, he said, special deals<br />
with pharmaceuticals paired<br />
with a health care reform bill that<br />

AG SPEAKS IN POMFRET ABOUT SENATE RACE<br />
did little to bring down costs was<br />
a gift to the drug companies. He<br />
added that he was opposed to the<br />
bank bailout because the “deal<br />
did too little for average<br />
Americans” and because too little<br />
went toward creating consumer<br />
demand. This is what angers voters,<br />
Blumenthal stated.<br />
“People want someone in<br />
Washington who will stand up for<br />
them,” he said.<br />
Blumenthal said he would<br />
stand up for people and businesses<br />
in Connecticut if elected to the<br />
Senate. He said one of the most<br />
important ways to fix the economy<br />
was to promote small businesses<br />
and make it easier and less<br />
costly for them to do business.<br />
“We need to do more for small<br />
businesses, which are the engine<br />
of economic growth and innovation,”<br />
he said.<br />
To do so, Blumenthal said he<br />
would like to promote programs<br />
that increase training in the<br />
workforce to increase the pool of<br />
skilled workers. He would also try<br />
to increase the tax credit for start<br />
up companies.<br />
“We need more tax credits for<br />
start-ups,” he said. “[The current]<br />
$5,000 credit is barely enough to<br />
keep the lights on.”<br />
Blumenthal said he would also<br />
like to make access to credit safer<br />
for small businesses by ensuring<br />
that the new consumer protections<br />
for individuals would apply<br />
to small business credit cards as<br />
well, which they currently do not.<br />
The attorney general also said<br />
he is in favor of changing policies<br />
he feels are hurting the economy.<br />
For example, Blumenthal said he<br />
would end tax breaks for corporations<br />
to move jobs overseas, something<br />
he said costs the nation $200<br />
billion over 10 years.<br />
“There will be savings for taxpayers<br />
and the nation and we will<br />
keep jobs here,” he said.<br />
In international trade, the<br />
attorney general said the U.S.<br />
should put more pressure on<br />
China to allow its currency to be<br />
more accurately valued against<br />

party<br />
WOODSTOCK — The Day Kimball<br />
Hospital Woman’s Board announced last<br />
week that an American Doll Tea Party will be<br />
held Sunday, Sept. 19, from 2 to 4:30 p.m. in the<br />
spacious lobby of the Hyde School Cultural<br />
Center in Woodstock.<br />
Guests of all ages will enjoy tea, sandwiches,<br />
cupcakes, tea and punch. Included in the<br />
festivities are a doll parade, craft project and<br />
a spa package raffle for your American Girl<br />
doll.<br />
Suzanne Hagstrom of American Doll<br />

clothing for sale. Raffle tickets for games,<br />
toys and books will also be available.<br />
Tickets may be purchased for $17.50 at the<br />

Nancy Dziki at ndziki@live.com. RSVPs<br />
are due by Sept. 10, and a limited number of<br />
seats will be available last minute.<br />
Participants who have fancy teacups at home<br />
should use this occasion to take their teacups<br />
out of the china cabinet and use them. This is<br />

the dollar. By keeping its currency<br />
consistently below the value of<br />
the U.S. dollar, Blumenthal<br />
explained, China ensures that its<br />
products are cheaper than those<br />
made in the United States, creating<br />
a trade imbalance where the<br />
U.S. imports far more than it<br />
exports.<br />
“We should have declared<br />
China a currency manipulator<br />
back in April,” he said. “We need<br />
to take strong action and I will<br />
continue to fight for it.”<br />
Blumenthal also pointed to a<br />
couple of his accomplishments<br />
during his tenure as the attorney<br />
general. He said he was proud<br />
that he had fought for individuals<br />
and businesses and promised to<br />
continue in the Senate if elected.<br />
He told the crowd he fought<br />
against allowing the “Made in<br />
America” label to be placed on<br />
imports and fought against discriminatory<br />
trade protections.<br />
For individuals, he said he<br />
helped fight against insurance<br />
companies when they refused<br />
coverage for necessary treatments.<br />
He said when the companies<br />
claimed a doctor was out of<br />
its coverage plan, that a condition<br />
was pre-existing or a drug was<br />
experimental and tried to withhold<br />
coverage, he would get<br />
involve. He said he won 90 to 95<br />
percent of the time in such cases.<br />
“At the end of the day I fight for<br />
ordinary people when they have<br />
no place left to turn,” he said. “I<br />
can assure you I will fight for you<br />
and for Connecticut first, last and<br />
always.”<br />
After the luncheon, Blumenthal<br />
met with people at the Pomfret<br />

QUIET CORNER ROUND-UP<br />
‘Glengarry Glen Ross’ at Bradley Sept. 3<br />
PUTNAM — The Theatre of<br />
Northeastern Connecticut at<br />
the Bradley Playhouse is proud<br />
to present the “Off-Bradley”<br />
production of David Mamet’s<br />
Pulitzer Prize winning play<br />
“Glengarry Glen Ross.”<br />
Performances are Friday,<br />
Sept. 3 and Saturday, Sept. 4, at<br />
8 p.m., and Sunday, Sept. 5, at 2<br />
p.m. All tickets are $10. This<br />
production is not part of the<br />
regular Bradley season, so season<br />
and flex passes cannot be<br />
used. The play contains strong<br />
language and is suitable for<br />
mature audiences.<br />
“Off-Bradley” productions<br />
generally happen when a group<br />
of actors decide they would like<br />
to do a show that’s different<br />
than the main season offerings.<br />
The plays may be a bit controversial<br />
or more adult in content.<br />
They make you think.<br />
Often the roles are challenging<br />
for the actors and help them<br />
grow in their craft — a reason<br />
why they generally attract our<br />
best actors. In addition, these<br />
performances help raise<br />
money for the Bradley, something<br />
the theatre needs in these<br />
tough economic times.<br />
“Glengarry Glen Ross,” a<br />
look at wheeling and dealing in<br />
the real estate business, is a<br />
depiction of men whose lives<br />
and values are twisted by a<br />
world in which they must lie,<br />
cheat and even steal in order to<br />
survive. Some critics have said<br />
that for all its use of “four letter<br />
words” (which is somewhat of<br />
a Mamet trademark),<br />
“Glengarry Glen Ross” is actually<br />
a morality play.<br />
David Mamet was born in<br />
PUTNAM — <strong>Putnam</strong> Bank was the<br />
Starting Line sponsor of this year’s Day<br />

Race on Aug. 14.<br />
As a major sponsor, <strong>Putnam</strong> Bank contributed<br />
$5,000 to support this worthy local<br />
cause. Through the generosity of <strong>Putnam</strong><br />
Bank’s participating team and employees,<br />
another $1,400 in addition to the bank’s sponsorship<br />
was given, making <strong>Putnam</strong> Bank the<br />
second highest corporate contributor this<br />
year.<br />
1947 and discovered his passion<br />
for theater in college. He<br />
trained as an actor, than<br />
worked at several unglamorous<br />
jobs, including one as office<br />
manager at a real estate office.<br />
He later taught acting at<br />
Marlboro College and Goddard<br />
College in Vermont and turned<br />
to playwriting. “American<br />
Buffalo” opened on Broadway<br />
in 1977 and “Glengarry Glen<br />
Ross” in 1984 when it won the<br />
Pulitzer Prize for Drama. In<br />
2005, “Glengarry Glen Ross”<br />
returned to Broadway and won<br />
the Tony Award for Best<br />
Revival. Liev Schreiber got the<br />
Tony for Best Featured Actor,<br />
in a cast that included Alan<br />
Alda and Jeffrey Tambor. In<br />
1992, “Glengarry Glen Ross”<br />
was made into a movie that<br />
starred Al Pacino, Jack<br />
Lemmon, Ed Harris and Alan<br />

<strong>Putnam</strong> Bank supports Deary Road Race<br />
The Deary Memorial Road Race & Walk<br />
began in 1990 and over the past 20 years has<br />
become a hallmark community event. Since it<br />
first began, the race has raised more than<br />
$900,000 to provide preventive services and<br />
cancer treatment such as mammograms,<br />
ultrasounds, medications, travel and surgical<br />
procedures for people in the local community<br />
needing financial assistance. Through this<br />
year’s event, nearly $90,000 was raised to<br />
assist local people in need. The fundraiser<br />

Hospital dedicates lounge in<br />
memory of influential physician<br />
PUTNAM — Day Kimball Hospital<br />
recently dedicated the medical staff<br />
lounge to the memory of Dr. Moses<br />
Margolick, renovating the entire lounge<br />
with funds donated to the organization in<br />
his name.<br />
Mrs. Gertrude Margolick, her three<br />
sons, daughter-in-law and grandson all<br />
attended the dedication. In an impromptu<br />
speech, Mrs. Margolick thanked the<br />
crowd by adding, “This day is like a<br />
homecoming for us. We are so thrilled to<br />
see our friends, many of whom traveled<br />
far to be here, and we’re honored that my<br />
husband is being remembered in such a<br />
meaningful way.”<br />
“Dr. Margolick’s family had expressed<br />
a wish to our development office that the<br />
Margolick Memorial Fund be used for a<br />
permanent tribute to the doctor who<br />
cared deeply for Day Kimball and the<br />
physicians he worked with,” said Pamela<br />
Watts, interim director of development.<br />
“A hospital committee suggested a muchneeded<br />
refurbishing of the medical staff<br />
lounge, so that’s what we did.” The space<br />
offers the medical staff a place to relax<br />
and to do research. Appropriately, the<br />
modernized lounge is located across the<br />
hall from the Medical Library, founded by<br />
Dr. Margolick, but named at his request<br />
for his colleague, Dr. Leo LaPalme, who<br />
had died in a car accident.<br />
For 47 years Dr. Margolick practiced<br />

served as president of the Medical Staff. Dr. Margolick and his wife Gert were active in<br />
civic affairs and created lively variety shows and travelogues to raise funds for Day<br />
Kimball before his retirement in 1986. Following his death last year at the age of 98, gifts<br />
totaling almost $10,000 were given to the memorial fund in his name.<br />

Is coupon clipping worth it?<br />
Friday, September 03, 2010<br />
WHAT IS IT?<br />
• A5<br />
Is coupon clipping worth it?<br />
You can probably guess my<br />
answer to this question — of course<br />
it is! Then again, I’m biased, as I<br />
think everyone should use coupons<br />
in some way.<br />
By clipping coupons I’m able to<br />
save hundreds of dollars each<br />
month on grocery and drugstore<br />
items, savings I can apply to other<br />
areas of my budget like vacations,<br />
college funds, etc. While I do see<br />
lots of people out at the stores using<br />
coupons, it still surprises me to see<br />
so many more who are not. Why?<br />
Let’s take a look at some common<br />
objections to coupon clipping and<br />
debunk some myths about the value<br />
of clipping coupons.<br />
• Clipping coupons takes time —<br />
You bet it takes time, but it is time<br />
well spent. If it takes me an hour to<br />
clip coupons to save $40 off my<br />
weekly grocery bill, I consider that<br />
$40 earned. Where else can I earn<br />
$40 per hour, tax free, sitting on my<br />
sofa clipping coupons? Plus, it really<br />
doesn’t have to take that much<br />
time. You can clip coupons while<br />
watching television or relaxing outside.<br />
Get those kids involved, too!<br />
• Most coupons are for things you<br />
neither need nor want — Clipping<br />
coupons for things you don’t want<br />
or need is indeed a big waste of<br />
time. There is no rule that says you<br />
have to clip every coupon you see,<br />

DEALS<br />
MICHELLE<br />
HOVESTADT<br />
so feel free to introduce unwanted<br />
coupons to your trash can.<br />
However, do keep an open mind to<br />
coupons you see for new products.<br />
New products are often introduced<br />
to the marketplace on sale so it is<br />
very possible you can get them<br />
cheap or even free with a coupon.<br />
Who knows, you may discover a<br />
new product you love!<br />
• Coupons tempt you to spend<br />
more money on things you shouldn’t<br />
— I don’t know about you, but<br />
I’m tempted to spend money I<br />
shouldn’t every day! That’s why I<br />
stay disciplined and have a budget.<br />
A budget is the single best way to<br />
help ensure you do not overspend.<br />
At the end of the month (or year)<br />
it’s not about what you saved, it’s<br />
about what your spent. Find a<br />
monthly budget that works for you<br />
and stick to it.<br />
• Shopping takes longer —<br />
Shopping can take longer, but it<br />
doesn’t have to. I contend that<br />
putting together a weekly menu<br />
plan and shopping around that plan<br />
can actually save you time shopping.<br />
Unplanned shopping trips<br />
always take more time, and let’s not<br />
forget the added stress of running<br />
into the store having little idea<br />
what you need to buy! Plus, you just<br />
know that unplanned trip to the<br />
store is going to cost you more<br />
money.<br />
Funny, the most common objection<br />
to using coupons I hear is that<br />
your coupons have been left at<br />
home, in the car or simply forgotten<br />
somewhere! Yes, even the dog ate<br />
them along with the kids’ homework.<br />
This is why you need a good<br />
coupon organization system that<br />
you can easily take with you to the<br />
store. It doesn’t have to be perfect, it<br />
just needs to work for you.<br />
So get out those coupons and scissors,<br />
sit back and relax with a good<br />
television show and start saving<br />
more money!<br />

PUTNAM VILLAGER<br />
Locals turn out en masse...<br />
BY MATT SANDERSON<br />
VILLAGER STAFF WRITER<br />
BROOKLYN — The 161st Brooklyn Fair<br />
maintained a steady pace through midday<br />
last Sunday when the heat began to climb.<br />
“We’ll take that,” said Rick Hermonot,<br />
president of the Windham County<br />
Agricultural Society (WCAS). “We had an<br />
awesome fair. The weather was perfect. It got<br />
a little hot on Sunday.”<br />
He said temperatures topped at 93 degrees<br />
at the fairgrounds, which may have led to<br />
fewer attendees. Hermonot estimated the<br />
2010 fair saw around 95,000 people.<br />
“Thursday, Friday and Saturday were perfect,”<br />
he said. “It was chilly at night. People<br />
like to eat when it’s chilly. The vendors were<br />
happy.”<br />
With a 2009 Brooklyn Fair that brought<br />
damp weather from a tropical storm, this<br />
year’s fair saw mostly low humidity and<br />
pleasant temperatures.<br />
“Sunday was a little lighter than we had<br />
hoped,” added Hermonot about the turnout.<br />
“But after the rain last year we were due for<br />
good weather. We had absolutely great teamwork.”<br />
For the second consecutive year, the<br />
Brooklyn Fair had fireworks at night.<br />
“I heard comment after comment that that<br />
it was the best they had seen all summer,”<br />
said Hermonot. “Some said it was the best<br />
they’ve ever seen. On our Facebook page, there<br />
were tons of comments on the fireworks, with<br />
people saying they were awestruck.”<br />
Hermonot said the fireworks need to be a<br />
regular fixture at the fair in the future.<br />
“We’ll make them bigger and better every<br />
year, to be the best fireworks show in Southern<br />
New England,” he said, adding that WCAS is<br />
talking their fireworks vendor about “kicking<br />

it up” in the coming years. “We had patriotic<br />
music playing during the fireworks. It made<br />
you proud to be an American. That will be a<br />
big part of the fair going forward.”<br />
Hermonot said the expanded children’s<br />
Playland Village continued to be a success over<br />
last weekend. It was complete with a childsized<br />
main street village setting, with building<br />
facades that introduce a role-playing activity,<br />
such as an ice cream parlor or pizza place.<br />
“We’ve developed our niche and we’re very<br />
proud of it,” he said. “The kids really enjoyed<br />
that. The family area is continuing to grow. We<br />
added a donut-on-a-string and pie-eating contest.”<br />
Hermonot added that they received positive<br />
feedback with their agricultural showcase this<br />
year.<br />
Last Friday, Aug. 27, leaders from several<br />
Windham County towns received certificates<br />
of appreciation from the WCAS and the local<br />
non-profit organization The Last Green Valley,<br />
in recognition of naming the walking paths of<br />
the fairgrounds after every municipality in the<br />
county.<br />
“Windham County is the heart and soul of<br />
the Last Green Valley,” said Lois Bruinooge,<br />
spokesperson for The Last Green Valley.<br />

Back to<br />
school<br />
It’s that time of year again — time for<br />
teachers, time for books, time for …<br />
well, you get the idea.<br />
Whether you are a high school senior or a<br />
kindergarten child in the genesis of your<br />
educational journey, the same thought is<br />
coursing through the brains of every student<br />
in this nation.<br />
Back to school.<br />
It seems like only yesterday that the final<br />
bell of the year was ringing loud, signaling<br />
the end of another school year. Now, it’s all<br />
ready to start over again.<br />
The floors of your educational facility are<br />
buffed; the walls of the cafeteria have a fresh<br />
coat of paint; the bathroom toilets are spectacularly<br />
clean and everything else is shinier,<br />
brighter, more radiant. Old friends rejoin<br />
your side and new students join the fray.<br />
Some teachers may have left, and new ones<br />
are ready to make their debuts. A fresh load<br />
of books and homework assignments<br />
promise loads of new learning.<br />
If you are one of the lucky ones to have<br />
bought a new set of clothes for the upcoming<br />
year, a new pair of sneakers, sandals or boots<br />
is just itching to be broken in. Some may be<br />
lucky enough to receive a pair of “Heelys,”<br />
those popular shoes on wheels (or as we call<br />
them, “accidents waiting to happen” — are<br />
those even allowed in school these days?)<br />
That new shirt is the envy of all your friends,<br />
and the stories of a summer gone by are all<br />
the rage as friends share tall tales over lunch.<br />
Everyone looks just a little bit different,<br />
whether they are leaner from a summer full<br />
of exercise and activity or tanner from a<br />
vacation to Florida or their grandmother’s<br />
house down the street, and yet, everyone<br />
seems just the same way you remember<br />
them.<br />
The first day is always the most hectic. In<br />
high school, you prepare your locker, or desk,<br />
or backpack, or whatever you use to carry or<br />
store your books these days. Fresh pens, pencils,<br />
erasers, notebooks and folders adorn<br />
your trusty pack, making you feel like an<br />
organizational marvel. For the younger ones,<br />
your “Dora the Explorer,” or “iCarly” notebook<br />
is ready for its first use. Isn’t “Justin<br />
Bieber” the new hit merchandising machine<br />
nowadays? Who knows…<br />
Soccer, track, baseball and many other<br />
sports prepare for an optimistically hopeful<br />
season, hoping to capture its first or maybe,<br />
25th, championship. Maybe you don’t play<br />
sports. Maybe you look to join one of the<br />
many clubs your school has to offer, whether<br />
it is glee club, robotics, National Honor<br />
Society, chess, or even our personal favorite<br />
— newspaper club. It always seems like there<br />
is something for everyone.<br />
And then there are the lunches. If you’re<br />
school serves hot lunch, there is always that<br />
one meal that hits the spot unlike any other.<br />
The pizza, the fish sticks and that special<br />
sauce on the meatloaf — all signature creations<br />
that have somehow managed to find<br />
their way unto the menus of schools all over<br />
the country. Even if you don’t like “school<br />
food,” there is always that one culinary<br />
delight that brings a smile to your face and a<br />
rumble to your belly.<br />
Whether you drive, walk, ride your bike,<br />
hitch a ride with your parents or take the bus<br />
to school, there is fun to be had on the way to<br />
school. On the first day on the bus, the<br />
“assigned seats” of yesteryear have been<br />
wiped clean and the first morning is a freefor-all<br />
as each child tries to claim his/her<br />
spot, whether it is the back of the bus (a<br />
perennial favorite), the front seat (not so popular,<br />
but every year, someone seems to take it<br />
voluntarily), or somewhere in between. All<br />
the while, children yearn for that last day of<br />
school when they can celebrate on the bus<br />
with a classic “paper fight.” (Are children<br />
nowadays still allowed to do this? Looking<br />
back, it may not have been the safest thing to<br />
do in a moving vehicle…)<br />
Nevertheless, no matter how you slice it,<br />
the day is here, and a full nine months of<br />
school lies in front of you. From all of us<br />
here at the Villager <strong>News</strong>papers, we hope you<br />
all had a great summer and enjoy the upcoming<br />
year. Remember to work hard, have fun<br />
and respect your classmates and teachers. To<br />
waste this time would be an incredible<br />
tragedy, so make the most of it.<br />

Opinion and commentary from the Quiet Corner<br />
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR<br />
Pomfret has failed once again<br />
To The Editor:<br />
What is happening to Pomfret under its current<br />
administration?<br />
Are we any longer proud of our town, and are we<br />
still glad we chose to make our homes here? Why is<br />
this happening?<br />
Over the last four years we have seen lots of<br />
changes, some for the good — but many for the bad.<br />
First, it was the Wetherbee Road problem dealing<br />
with a logger, and, as we all know, that issue led to a<br />
zoning change that now allows major commercial<br />
and industrial business activities in our residential<br />
neighborhoods. That change has compromised<br />
property value protection that the citizens of our<br />
town expected when zoning in Pomfret finally<br />
became a reality.<br />
And now we face the embarrassment, as disclosed<br />
by Connecticut’s Attorney General and the<br />
Department of Environmental Protection, that<br />
Pomfret’s Inland Wetlands and Watercourses<br />
Commission has not been doing their job. Of<br />
course, Mr. Rivers has responded that this is not a<br />
town problem but rather a logger licensing issue.<br />
That’s true, but only part of the story.<br />
Loggers require local permits, and you don’t give<br />
a permit to someone just because he claims to be a<br />
logger. They must have a valid DEP license to do<br />
what they do, and it is the responsibility of our<br />
Wetlands Commission to insure the permit granted<br />
is valid, and that the provisions of the Wetlands Act<br />
are met.<br />
Mr. Rivers and his administration have made<br />
clear by their public actions that he does not support<br />
land use abuse enforcement, and that includes<br />
the removal of stone walls even if they define a<br />
town road right-of way or a private property boundary.<br />
The wetlands and logging violations in Pomfret<br />
reported by the Hartford Courant, The Norwich<br />
Bulletin, and the Woodstock Villager document<br />
what has happened on Old Route 44 and 585<br />
Mashamoquet Road, and the full story has yet to be<br />
told. The question is, where was our Wetlands<br />
Commission all this time? Numerous oral complaints<br />
were made to town officials concerning<br />
these activities but all were ignored until now. Mr.<br />
River’s policy is that complaints must be submitted<br />
in writing for him or any board or commission to do<br />
To the Editor:<br />
On Friday, Aug. 6, the Woodstock Villager published<br />
a front-page article regarding an OSHA citation<br />
issued to Whitcraft’s Eastford facility.<br />
Unfortunately, I was out of the office when they<br />
went to press and I feel it is necessary to share our<br />
view of the situation.<br />
Whitcraft’s interests are aligned with OSHA’s in<br />
that we both want an injury-free workplace. From<br />
the time we purchased Whitcraft in 1998 we have<br />
utilized a management operating system that<br />
strives to continuously improve our operational<br />
performance in five key areas, including safety.<br />
Since we weren’t experts on safety we asked<br />
“CONN-OSHA” (Connecticut’s OSHA organization)<br />
to come in and audit our facility within a year of<br />
acquiring it. CONN-OSHA performed a safety audit<br />
of our facility in 1999 and we abated all findings.<br />
We requested and CONN-OSHA performed audits<br />
in 2000, 2001, 2002, and 2003 and we abated all findings.<br />
We had just completed a CONN-OSHA audit<br />
near the end of 2009, when the inspector from federal<br />
OSHA initiated the inspection that led to the<br />
citations reported in the Villager (and other<br />
media).<br />
The Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970<br />
encouraged states to develop and operate their own<br />
job safety and health programs. Federal OSHA<br />
approves and monitors state plans and provides up<br />
to 50 percent of an approved plan’s operating costs;<br />
Connecticut has been approved by Federal OSHA to<br />
operate its own safety and enforcement programs.<br />
Small companies like Whitcraft can voluntarily<br />
request CONN-OSHA to perform a safety audit.<br />
The understanding is that the company is required<br />
to make the investments necessary to remedy all<br />
safety violations within a prescribed period. It<br />
should result in a win-win outcome.<br />
As stated earlier, we addressed and remedied all<br />
the findings associated with six CONN-OSHA<br />
audits over the 12 years we have owned Whitcraft.<br />
In addition, we implemented a safety improvement<br />
program which significantly reduced our Eastford<br />
injury rates to the point that Connecticut’s Workers<br />
Compensation Commission gave us an award for<br />
anything. There is nothing in any Pomfret regulation<br />
or town ordinance that says that a complaint<br />
must be in writing — but, of course, Mr. Rivers<br />
knows best how to discourage people from becoming<br />
a nuisance to him, or his appointed team.<br />
As to what is going on now, the bottom line<br />
remains that our Inland Wetlands and<br />
Watercourses Commission has once again failed to<br />
adhere to their regulations and by-laws. In addition,<br />
the Commission members failed to exercise sufficient<br />
oversight over their appointed agent, a.k.a.<br />
the Wetlands Enforcement Officer (WEO), to insure<br />
that he was doing his job. And now, because of the<br />
injunction requested by the Attorney General and<br />
the damage done to our town, we know and the<br />
Wetlands Commission should know that he was not<br />
doing his job. Our part-time WEO from Plainfield is<br />
paid by the first selectman, but he is appointed by<br />
and is responsible to the Wetlands Commission as<br />
opposed to Mr. Rivers.<br />
Our first selectman made the decision concerning<br />
the removal of the stone wall on Wade Road.<br />
Now we are in for a bunch of “after the fact” wetlands<br />
permits and maybe even a cease and desist<br />
order to make every thing OK. But sadly, the damage<br />
to Pomfret has been done.<br />
Now is the time for the members of our boards<br />
and commissions to start doing their job. Our town<br />
depends on volunteers who take their responsibilities<br />
seriously, and who know and apply their regulations<br />
without compromise. Our boards and commissions<br />
may have the power to delegate authority,<br />
but under no circumstance can a board or commission<br />
delegate its responsibility. Under the circumstances<br />
I consider the Board of Selectmen and<br />
Pomfret’s Inland Wetlands and Watercourses<br />
Commission a complete failure in meeting their<br />
State mandated responsibilities under the Wetlands<br />
Act. It is a fundamental obligation of government<br />
to insure that the rules are honored, and that no citizen<br />
should be denied the right to due process.<br />
In this respect, I feel Pomfret has failed once<br />
again.<br />
The saga continues!<br />
PAUL G. HENNEN<br />
POMFRET<br />
Obama has never left the campaign trail<br />
To the Editor:<br />
Over the past 60 years, I have learned that often<br />
times the smallest things can be the most revealing.<br />
President Barack Obama was able to find time to<br />
go on “The View,” but just couldn’t seem to be able<br />
to find time to address the Boy Scouts of America.<br />
More than 45,000 Boy Scouts went on a “once-in-alifetime”<br />
trip to Washington, D.C., to celebrate 100<br />
years of Scouting. I’m betting that “The View”<br />
won’t be around quite that long.<br />
This administration issued a statement saying<br />
that Obama would be at a fundraising event and<br />
would send a recording to the Scouts. Apparently,<br />
electing Democrats is more important to this president<br />
than honoring an American institution. This<br />
painfully hurtful ‘dissing’ of the Boy Scouts is simply<br />
more proof that Obama has never left the campaign<br />
trail and never will.<br />
Lest we forget, Scouts don’t vote!<br />
Even the main-street media has begun to refer to<br />
his “campaign-like” activities. While these two<br />
events may seem small to some, they should be<br />
extremely revealing to many! This November,<br />
please remember that every single U.S. House of<br />
Representatives from Connecticut (Larson,<br />
Courtney, DeLauro, Himes and Murphy) have supported<br />
Obama every step of the way on every issue.<br />
If you like the way the country is headed, be sure to<br />
re-elect them — if not….<br />
Whitcraft is a safe place to work<br />

improved safety performance. Our “mod rate” is<br />
less than 1, which indicates that the medical costs<br />
associated with workplace injuries are less than<br />
most manufacturing companies in Connecticut.<br />
After we acquired our Connecticut Tool facility<br />
in Plainville in 2004, our head count exceeded 250<br />
employees, the threshold that exceeds CONN-<br />
OSHA’s definition of “small.” In that same year we<br />
retained a safety consulting firm, Practical Safety<br />
Solutions, to run our Safety Committee, perform<br />
training, and lead safety improvement initiatives.<br />
By 2008, our expenditures with our safety consultant<br />
grew to the point it made sense to hire a full<br />
time Director of Safety and Environmental compliance.<br />
This translates into 12 uninterrupted years of<br />
continual investment in safety improvements<br />
under the direction of OSHA, safety consultants,<br />
and our own full time safety director.<br />
So far we have been successful in growing our<br />
manufacturing businesses here in Connecticut. A<br />
vice president of one of our largest customers<br />
questioned our “Connecticut-centric” aerospace<br />
investments in spite of very strong market interest<br />
in having us establish operations in low-cost countries<br />
such as Mexico, China, or most recently India<br />
(in total we’ve purchased four Connecticut aerospace<br />
companies). We’re optimists and in spite of<br />
this experience, we believe that we can compete<br />
with low cost sources and be compliant with all regulatory<br />
agencies. However, this can happen only if<br />
we pursue our common interest in safety in a collaborative<br />
manner rather than adversarial.<br />
We have a consistent history of caring about the<br />
welfare of our employees. Our goal — to create an<br />
injury-free work environment — is aligned with<br />
our employees’ and OSHA’s interests and is supported<br />
by our continued investments over the 12<br />
years we have been in Eastford. We are working<br />
through OSHA’s process for resolution and will<br />
keep our employees and the community apprised of<br />
the outcome.<br />

A<br />
different<br />
point of<br />
view<br />
Purchasing a new<br />
couch brought many<br />
things to my attention.<br />
I almost never buy furniture.<br />
When I want something new, I<br />
look in the barn. I call it “barn<br />
shopping” and it is what I urge<br />
my children to do whenever<br />
they think they need a household<br />
item.<br />
Through<br />
the years, the<br />
stash in the<br />
barn of anything<br />
decent<br />
has been<br />
depleted. The<br />
better items<br />
have found<br />
homes and<br />
only junk,<br />
NANCY WEISS<br />
ugliness or<br />
o b j e c t s<br />
requiring<br />
major repairs<br />
remain. I decided I could in<br />
good conscience buy something<br />
new.<br />
I shopped around for the<br />
couch for months. When our<br />
extended family comes to visit,<br />
they like to watch television.<br />
There was no place comfortable<br />
for all of us to sit down and<br />
watch the tube. Because I want<br />
then to stay for a while, I needed<br />
to redecorate, an activity<br />
that gives me nightmares.<br />
When the day came for the<br />
movers to arrive, two talented<br />
friends showed up to help. They<br />
jumped right in, moving chairs,<br />
paintings, a huge hutch, rugs,<br />
dog beds, two couches and dodads<br />
that added little to the<br />
overall look. Whatever they<br />
told me to do, I did, confident<br />
that their taste and good sense<br />
is far better than mine.<br />
Some people have remarkable<br />
visual skills. They can look<br />
at a rug and know where it will<br />
fit. They can tell if a bulky<br />
chair will squeeze though a<br />
doorway. They know a certain<br />
lampshade works better on one<br />
lamp than another. I am in awe<br />
of such talent.<br />
As I ran around my house<br />
finding picture hooks, the hammer,<br />
a stepladder to support the<br />
process, everything began to<br />
feel new. The clutter of items on<br />
a Welsh dresser in the kitchen<br />
when cut by half and moved<br />
elsewhere took on an entirely<br />
new aspect.<br />
Prints that I must have<br />
looked at for years came alive<br />
when moved to another location.<br />
Things I owned for<br />
decades suddenly were more<br />
interesting. How had I ignored<br />
these little treasures for so<br />
many years, I thought?<br />
Of course, the reverse was<br />
true. When moved into a different<br />
position, some furniture<br />
bore stained patches where the<br />
dogs rub their noses. Long hidden<br />
scratches became visible<br />
and shabby pillows took on an<br />
especially unattractive aspect.<br />
Moving so many household<br />
items made me think about the<br />
deadening toll familiarity takes<br />
on other aspects of living.<br />
Because I went for so many<br />
years not seeing the charming<br />
carapace on a turtle print, I<br />
may have also failed to see<br />
times when I might have been a<br />
better friend, spouse or neighbor.<br />
Because sameness is so comfortable,<br />
I don’t see change with<br />
clear eyes. While we celebrate<br />
growth in little children, we<br />
often duck the inexorable<br />
decline in others and ourselves<br />
as we age. We may also miss the<br />
possibility that in a new light or<br />
better location talents, affections,<br />
even patience or gratitude<br />
might flourish.<br />
I’m glad a new couch shook<br />
up my domestic patterns. When<br />
I sit down to read, there is a<br />
decent lamp and a place to put<br />
my teacup. I can see the television<br />
from several vantage<br />
points and I’ve moved to the<br />
shed a box of random<br />
tchotchke.<br />
The simile “like moving<br />
around the deck chairs on the<br />
Titanic” is a phrase often used<br />
to describe futile action. Lately<br />
I’ve been thinking that moving<br />
the chairs around may not<br />
solve major problems, but it is<br />
one thing we can do to get a different<br />
take on our surroundings<br />
and our selves.

Ican’t figure it out.<br />
Hilary Rodham<br />
Clinton once foolishly<br />
claimed she landed<br />
from an aircraft in Iraq<br />
under “sniper fire.” This<br />
was soon debunked.<br />
Later, she strongly<br />
fought President Barack<br />
Obama for the Democratic<br />
presidential nomination.<br />
Now in opposing Mr. Obama, Mrs.<br />
Clinton’s ideas and policies couldn’t<br />
have been the same. Yet, she has been<br />
installed as our Secretary of State,<br />
perhaps the most powerful cabinet<br />
appointee. Have Mrs. Clinton’s views<br />
become submerged or will they or can<br />
they resurface?<br />
I might inject a minor point here.<br />
The media continuously refers to the<br />
former First Lady as Hilary Rodham<br />
OPINION<br />
Just can’t figure the Clintons out<br />

Clinton. Why is<br />
this? I can’t imagine<br />
how she’d be<br />
confused with a<br />
possible second<br />
Hilary Clinton!<br />
What do you say<br />
we switch genders<br />
at this juncture. As<br />
far as I’m concerned<br />
the negatives<br />
affecting the record of previous<br />
Chief Executive Bill Clinton severely<br />
tarnish any positive results. Although<br />
acquitted with votes to spare Mr.<br />
Clinton remains the second president<br />
enduring an impeachment trial<br />
(Andrew Johnson, successor to<br />
Abraham Lincoln, was the first).<br />
During Mr. Clinton’s administration<br />
he was revealed to have had sexual<br />
dalliances in the White House. It was<br />
also discovered he had lied about his<br />
moral misconduct, particularly to his<br />
wife, Hilary. How can be become a role<br />
model to the youth of America?<br />
However, it must be admitted that<br />
Mr. Clinton’s political presence is very<br />
much desired among his peers. The<br />
man receives thousands of dollars for<br />
his speaking invitations. He was<br />
recently in Rhode Island stumping for<br />
party colleagues. His name still stands<br />
for charm, influence and power.<br />
Finally, I must include the Clinton’s<br />
daughter in my wonderment. Oh, I<br />
can’t criticize her personally. On the<br />
contrary, she appears to be a fine<br />
young lady. But by all that’s rational I<br />
cannot conceive of any reason why<br />
the wedding of Chelsea Clinton and<br />
Marc Mezvinsky, an investment<br />
banker, should cost more than $2 million<br />
at an estate called Astor Courts in<br />
the New York village of Rhinebeck.<br />
It’s been reported that flowers alone<br />
checked out at $250,000! Amid airtight<br />
security, Chelsea, dressed in a Vera<br />
Wang strapless gown complemented<br />
by a silk organza skirt, was walked<br />
down the aisle by her father to the<br />
altar where she became the bride of<br />
her long-time boyfriend. Without any<br />
further descriptive elegance the nuptials<br />
were billed as the wedding of the<br />
century. Now my wife and I were married<br />
atop a Colorado mountain in a<br />
dawn ceremony. The wedding cost us<br />
$100. Therefore, I must ask — are Marc<br />
and Chelsea any more married than<br />
us? I’ve read where the expense of this<br />
royal wedding was split three ways —<br />
the Clintons, the government and the<br />
couple themselves. Whatever the millions<br />
spent, the outlay of such money<br />
is obscene. I only must think of the<br />
countless families suffering hunger,<br />
homelessness, deprivation of life’s<br />
basic needs and the erosion of disease.<br />
Couldn’t $1 million or so have been<br />
spent on the unfortunate?<br />
I must confess, so much opulence<br />
bothers me when many children don’t<br />
know where their next meal is coming<br />
from.<br />
But, returning to my opening statement.<br />
I can’t figure the Clintons out.<br />
Despite all of the above-mentioned<br />
flaws in their characters, all three ride<br />
the crest of the popularity wave. It<br />
seems as if we have royalty here in<br />
America. But I’m not the least bit envious,<br />
only curious.<br />
Just how do they do it?<br />

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR<br />
‘See you at the grand opening’<br />
To the Editor:<br />
It has been some time since my last letter<br />
but I try to reserve the time for something I<br />
consider very important.<br />
In the Aug. 17 edition of a local newspaper,<br />
the front-page headline read “Wal-Mart foes<br />
lose wetland appeal.”<br />
To me, this was excellent news which was<br />
predicted, anticipated and did not surprise<br />
me in the least.<br />
I said from the very beginning that in my<br />
opinion (after 25 years as a chief zoning official)<br />
that the opposition did not have “a leg to<br />
stand on.”<br />
My only wish is that I was the attorney representing<br />
the opposition so I could retire on<br />
THEIR money to Arizona.<br />
Now comes the portion of the appeal that I<br />
believe will be easier to determine than the<br />
part that the judge has cleared and my reason<br />
why.<br />
First and foremost — the land in question is<br />
properly zoned and not in need of change,<br />
amendment, modification or public hearing.<br />
In other words, the property zoning is COR-<br />
RECT for the intended use WITHOUT impediment!<br />
The land has been zoned for commercial<br />
use since 1977 and the residents of Brooklyn<br />
had no problem with this designation for<br />
more than 30 years. They, including the opponents<br />
to this application, had many years to<br />
zone it what they thought was better than this<br />
commercial use — and instead “sat on their<br />
hands” until the Wal-Mart application surfaced.<br />
As an expert in this field (as a matter of<br />
record) I remained neutral on this issue until<br />
I spoke to a multitude of people and determined<br />
that the opposition was not against<br />
what would be built there as long as it was not<br />
a Wal-Mart.<br />
I got the feeling that a Best Buy, Kohls or<br />
Target would be OK — but NEVER a Wal-<br />
Mart.<br />
Unfortunately, when a piece of property is<br />
zoned commercial, the people (as they have<br />
learned) do not get the chance to pick and<br />
choose what THEY want to see built. THAT is<br />
purely a case of outright discrimination in<br />
Country needs a return to fiscal common sense<br />
To the Editor:<br />
In tough economic times, American families<br />
have traditionally turned to basic common<br />
sense tenets of fiscal prudence.<br />
This includes living within their means,<br />
not spending money they do not have, making<br />
due with less, and looking with thriftiness for<br />
the most practical ways to stretch their wallets<br />
and pocket books.<br />
These basic tenets rely on self-discipline,<br />
self-sacrifice, and the pulling up of bootstraps.<br />
Americans throughout history have prided<br />
themselves on these virtues because they are<br />
time-honored and have, despite tough times,<br />
given life to what we call “the American<br />
Dream” — a term coined by historian James<br />
Truslow Adams in 1931, during the early<br />
years of the Great Depression.<br />
For many American families facing the loss<br />
or uncertainty of their jobs, having their<br />
working hours and benefits cut, seeing the<br />
value of their 401Ks and houses drop, knowing<br />
their health care and daily living costs<br />
will increase, or trying to pay the skyrocketing<br />
costs of college education, the American<br />
Dream may now seem far off to them. And<br />
yet, like those before us who weathered the<br />
Great Depression, many families continue to<br />
embrace the same common sense tenets of<br />
fiscal discipline to help guide them through<br />
this current economic storm.<br />
Just this past month, the Congressional<br />
Budget Office (CBO) published an updated<br />
budget and economic outlook for our country.<br />
It is estimated that the federal budget deficit<br />
for 2010 will exceed $1.3 trillion — a staggering<br />
amount. Relative to the size of the economy,<br />
this year’s deficit is expected to be the second<br />
largest shortfall in the past 65 years at 9.1<br />
percent of gross domestic product (GDP). In<br />
addition, our country’s national debt has surpassed<br />
$13 trillion. The amount of federal<br />
debt has skyrocketed in the past two years<br />
from 40 percent of GDP at the end of 2008 to<br />
nearly 62 percent at the end of this year (as<br />
estimated by the CBO). According to the CBO,<br />
debt held by the United States is projected to<br />
this great country and grossly unfair. At<br />
THAT time I decided to join the pro-Wal-Mart<br />
crowd.<br />
On a recent radio talk show, it was suggested<br />
that perhaps the judges integrity should be<br />
examined, or the case was pre-determined, or<br />
the Wetland Commission messed up, or the<br />
regulations of town were not properly followed<br />
or any other reason to make the decision<br />
appear flawed. All of these hollow excuses<br />
are going to change nothing.<br />
I, along with many others, wish to take this<br />
opportunity to congratulate and applaud the<br />
members of the Brooklyn Wetland<br />
Committee and anyone else who made the<br />
very necessary and correct decision possible.<br />
This is still a free country and the few people<br />
who say, “This guy does not live in<br />
Brooklyn and should mind his own business,”<br />
and the United States Constitution<br />
says “I have as much right to my opinion on<br />
this matter as the guy next door if I lived in<br />
Seattle.”<br />
Now, I want to see someone change THAT. I<br />
believe that being less than five miles away<br />
from this great endeavor is everybody’s business<br />
who wishes to be involved and as you<br />
can see, I do!<br />
Again, I applaud those who have a different<br />
view on this matter, for taking every avenue<br />
possible to prevent this through the courts,<br />
etc., which they have every right to do, and<br />
again in my opinion did not do this. They<br />
would be foolish to let that opportunity<br />
escape them. THAT is the American way.<br />
Now, at age 79, I may reconsider going to<br />
law school so I perhaps will be able to represent<br />
the people still opposed to Wal-Mart and<br />
be paid so I can fulfill my dream, with tons of<br />
their money and retire in Phoenix, Ariz., in<br />
the sunshine, and then I will be sure not to go<br />
to a giant super store that I opposed that made<br />
enough money to bring me to this paradise<br />
and live happily ever after. The end.<br />
See you all at the front door for the GRAND<br />
OPENING!<br />

KILLINGLY<br />
exceed 69 percent of GDP by the end of 2020.<br />
The CBO states that “putting the nation on<br />
a sustainable fiscal course will require policymakers<br />
to restrain the growth of spending<br />
substantially, raise revenues significantly<br />
above their average percentage of GDP over<br />
the past 40 years, or adopt some combination<br />
of those approaches.”<br />
The current policy of taxing, spending, and<br />
then taxing and spending more is unsustainable.<br />
A family could not survive with this<br />
kind of budgeting practice and neither can a<br />
country.<br />
So as we enter the campaign season it is<br />
important that voters ask the candidates<br />
what their specific plans are for reaching fiscal<br />
sustainability. How do they plan to<br />
address the concerns that the CBO has outlined?<br />
How do they plan to “restrain growth”<br />
and “raise revenue”? What combination of<br />
spending cuts and tax increases do they<br />
believe best suits our country and our state?<br />
Will the candidates be accountable to the<br />
long-term economic and fiscal health of our<br />
country or will they continue down the slippery<br />
slope of being accountable to the special<br />
interest groups? Will they continue to provide<br />
us with political sound bites and campaign<br />
promises or will they roll up their sleeves and<br />
develop public policy with the best interest of<br />
the American people in mind?<br />
We expect our elected officials to return to<br />
the responsible common sense tenets as<br />
many American families have done. In addition<br />
to this expectation, voters need to exhibit<br />
the upper hand given to them in a democracy<br />
by electing and then enforcing the same<br />
adherence to self-sacrifice and self-discipline<br />
that they trust and depend upon for the well<br />
being of their individual lives and their families.<br />

Villager story came close to the truth<br />
To the Editor:<br />
I am the proud parent of four St. Mary<br />
School graduates.<br />
They attended the school in the 70s and in<br />
the 80s. The teachers were steadfast in their<br />
efforts to teach all students the basics of education<br />
along with promoting good Christian<br />
values and fostering good work habits. Their<br />
efforts, on my children’s behalf, laid the<br />
groundwork for their later success at <strong>Putnam</strong><br />
High School, college, and their chosen professions.<br />
I am grateful to all the nuns, lay teachers,<br />
The ant and the grasshopper<br />
To the Editor:<br />
I recently received an e-mail retelling the<br />
story of the ant and the grasshopper.<br />
You know it, the one with the lesson that if<br />
we play all summer like the Grasshopper,<br />
instead of working hard like the ant, we’ll<br />
freeze to death come winter.<br />
In this new version of the story, an array of<br />
civil rights lawyers, political figures and<br />
media hacks force the ant to take care of the<br />
grasshopper, but the big green dope develops<br />
a drug habit and dies anyway, taking the<br />
neighborhood with him. The new lesson is<br />
about the failure of socialism.<br />
The trouble with stories is that a metaphor<br />
is not a proof, and if there’s any truth to a<br />
story about ants and grasshoppers, it sure<br />
isn’t in casting the ant as the rugged, selfreliant<br />
individualist. That may be how we<br />
Americans like to see ourselves, at least until<br />
we get sick, or fired at age 50 — or both — but<br />
it’s not that virtue set that gets ants through<br />
the winter.<br />
The ants are the socialists. Ants thrive<br />
because they have developed a society where<br />
they all work for the common good. They’re<br />
the ultimate argument for the success that<br />
comes from working together rather than<br />
just for ourselves.<br />
So, if you’ll allow me my retelling the story<br />
— The ant is out one day with the other ants,<br />
performing one of those move-a-seed-fivetimes-his-own-body-weight<br />
jobs that they can<br />
do, when he stumbles and breaks all the legs<br />
on one side of his body. Now these ants may<br />
work as a team, but they aren’t unionized.<br />
Their health and disability plan is pre-<br />
To the Editor:<br />
Congratulations to you folks at the Villager.<br />
Yours was the only story in either print or<br />
other media that even approximated the<br />
whole truth behind the closing of St. Mary<br />
School in <strong>Putnam</strong> after 137 years. Every other<br />
paper or media outlet, simply reprinted the<br />
diocesan press release citing “an enrollment<br />
crisis” at SMS, which was pure nonsense.<br />
The Villager reporting, while scant, did<br />
allude to many of the actual contributing factors<br />
involved. St. Mary’s was a fine institution<br />
that for 137 years produced so many community<br />
leaders and fine young citizens here<br />
in Connecticut’s Quiet Corner. The impact of<br />
this closing may not be felt immediately outside<br />
of the present school community, but it<br />
will be dearly missed eventually. This was a<br />
sad day indeed for the greater <strong>Putnam</strong> community.<br />
Thank you again for at least outlining<br />
other than the standard diocesan line on<br />
this sad event.<br />
Sad to see St. Mary’s close<br />

Obama and the insurer rules that, if the ant’s<br />
legs broke, it must have been a pre-existing<br />
condition and thus he isn’t covered. So the<br />
ant gets tossed out of the colony, and, since<br />
the original story was designed to ridicule<br />
socialism, let’s say there’s no Social Security<br />
or Medicare for him, either. He freezes.<br />
The Grasshopper, meanwhile, has discovered<br />
that his skills as a performer and allaround<br />
fun-loving guy who likes to party<br />
have suited him perfectly for the job that isn’t<br />
work: corporate lobbyist. He gets well paid to<br />
smile, shake hands and give away corporate<br />
money to politicians who are always glad to<br />
see him. He doesn’t have to worry about<br />
freezing in the winter because that’s when he<br />
hosts his marks in the Bahamas, where the<br />
drinks are free and the complementary buffet<br />
table is always loaded with goodies.<br />
So if you think we hard-working ants will<br />
be more free and happy returning to the tender<br />
mercies of health-insurers who have<br />
devised dozens of imaginative ways to deny<br />
us coverage, then vote for the candidates who<br />
promise to repeal the health-care legislation.<br />
They’re the same party that wants my version<br />
of the story to come true, by cutting<br />
Medicare and privatizing Social Security to<br />
balance the budget, rather than by canceling<br />
the Bush tax cut for the folks who make more<br />
than $500,000 a year.<br />
Most of those folks aren’t ants or grasshoppers,<br />
they’re more like ticks.<br />
What did we really gain?<br />

An a-maze-ing treat<br />
FORT HILL FARMS CORN MAZE AIMS TO EDUCATE<br />
BY RICH HOSFORD<br />
VILLAGER STAFF WRITER<br />
THOMPSON — Everyone is<br />
invited to come and get lost in the<br />
Fort Hill Farms Corn Maze, and<br />
then, once they find their way out,<br />
to enjoy some locally produced ice<br />
cream and, this Saturday only, listen<br />
to stories from around the area.<br />
The 9th annual Fort Hill Farms<br />
Corn Maze is now open and ready<br />
for adventurous spirits to come and<br />
try and find their way through, all<br />
while learning something about<br />
agriculture and the history of ice<br />
cream as they do so.<br />
The maze is open Sunday<br />
through Thursday from 10 a.m. to 5<br />
p.m. and on Friday and Saturday<br />
from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. The maze<br />
will be open through Sunday, Nov.<br />
7. The price of entry into the main<br />
maze is $12 for adults and $10 for<br />
children under 12 years of age.<br />
There is also a smaller maze that is<br />
only $7 per person. Fort Hill Farms<br />
is located at 260 Quaddick Road,<br />
Thompson.<br />
The theme of this year’s corn<br />
maze is the “History of Ice Cream.”<br />
The farm recently started selling<br />
“Farmer’s Cow” super premium<br />
ice cream. The treat, made in<br />
Manchester, is made with milk<br />
from Fort Hill Farms. Farm owner<br />
Kristin Orr said she wanted the<br />
maze to be focused on ice cream to<br />
highlight what a local farm can<br />
produce.<br />
“We wanted to do something<br />
with what we make,” she said.<br />
“The milk is local, and you can<br />
meet the family that feeds and<br />
milks the cows. When you buy<br />
local, you are one step from the producer.<br />
You can get to know and<br />
trust them.”<br />
The Farmer’s Cow Ice Cream is<br />
also more natural than most massproduced<br />
brands, Orr said. There<br />
are no dyes or colorings, which<br />
means that the mint chocolate chip<br />
flavor, for example, is white instead<br />
of the familiar green. It is different<br />
than what most expect, but is better<br />
because it is free of chemicals, Orr<br />
explained.<br />
There are two corn mazes at the<br />
Fort Hill Farms. The main maze<br />
covers seven acres and has about<br />
three miles of trail. Orr said that if<br />
someone undertakes the maze and<br />
tries to find all of the clues, the<br />
entire experience can last about 90<br />
minutes.<br />
There is also a smaller maze for<br />
people who do not wish to walk the<br />
length of the larger one. This maze<br />
only takes about 30 minutes to complete.<br />
In each maze, both children and<br />
adults will feel the potential of getting<br />
lost. Orr said the corn has<br />
grown up to 10 feet high, or “as<br />
high as an elephant’s eye,” sufficiently<br />
high to let everyone jump<br />
into the maze experience.<br />
Orr said the maze is supposed to<br />
be educational. Before entering the<br />
maze each person is given a twopage<br />
workbook filled with questions<br />
and spaces for clues. As a person<br />
moves through the maze, he or<br />
she can find clues that answer the<br />
questions and find pictures to copy<br />
to unveil a hidden message. As one<br />
does so, a person will learn about<br />
the history of ice cream and some<br />
fun facts about farming.<br />
“The maze is not about speed,<br />
about getting through in a certain<br />
amount of time,” Orr said. “We<br />
want people to do the game sheet<br />
and learn about farming and the<br />
history of ice cream. We want them<br />
to come out of the maze with a better<br />
understanding of agriculture.”<br />
What the maze is not, Orr said, is<br />
a Halloween theme. She said there<br />
are many Halloween corn mazes in<br />
the area and at Fort Hill Farms she<br />
wanted to focus on agriculture and<br />
life on a modern farm rather than<br />
ghouls and ghosts.<br />
“We want people to have an agricultural<br />
experience without having<br />
to wait until the fall,” she said. “In<br />
summer there are not many farmrelated<br />
activities so we wanted to<br />
show that a farm can be fun at anytime.<br />
We want people to get a bigger<br />
picture — that beauty is part of<br />
the farm experience.”<br />
Also, on Saturday, Sept. 4, the<br />
farm will host an “A-Maze-Ing<br />
Story Slam,” hosted by professional<br />
storyteller Carolyn Stearn.<br />
People are invited to come and tell<br />
a five to seven minute story on the<br />

An aerial shot of the Fort Hill Farm Corn Maze in Thompson. The maze will be open<br />
until Sunday, Nov. 7, at Fort Hill Farms at 260 Quaddick Road, Thompson.<br />
theme “In A Quiet Corner.” The<br />
slam will begin at 1 p.m.<br />
“The story can be a personal<br />
reflection, about a visit to a place in<br />
the Quiet Corner or just have the<br />
area be a backdrop,” Strean said. “I<br />
wanted to make the them as broad<br />
as possible so people can interpret<br />
it as they see fit.”<br />
The person that tells the best<br />
story will win a Hot Air Balloon<br />
flight by Brighter Skies<br />
Ballooning, in South Woodstock.<br />
“When you need a break from the<br />
crowds at the Woodstock Fair this<br />
weekend, come out and listen to<br />
some stories in a beautiful and<br />
peaceful farm,” Stearn said. “This<br />
has the same spirit as the county<br />
fairs — getting back to life on the<br />
farm.”<br />

‘Visioning’ sessions shaping the future of downtown<br />
FUTURE<br />
continued from page A1<br />
Initiated last May and facilitated by the<br />
<strong>Putnam</strong> Economic and Community<br />
Development Office and CME Associates, a<br />
civil engineering firm from Woodstock, the<br />
visioning sessions have held several meetings<br />
with <strong>Putnam</strong> residents, engaging them<br />
to talk about the strengths and weaknesses of<br />
downtown.<br />
Since the early meetings, a list of action<br />
items have been created that the workshop<br />
continues to debate and revise. Some of the<br />
primary concerns for action are <strong>Putnam</strong>’s<br />
streets and sidewalks, aesthetics and welcome,<br />
planning and zoning and economy and<br />
business.<br />
The Zoning Commission has held workshops<br />
over the last two years to revise and<br />
update the <strong>Putnam</strong> zoning manual. It aims to<br />
schedule public hearings in the near future<br />
so all proposed updates can be discussed by<br />
residents. Ultimately, the updated regulations<br />
would have to go to a town meeting for<br />
voter approval.<br />
Patricia Hedenberg, chairperson of the<br />
commission, said they plan to look at the<br />
revised zoning regulations and thoroughly<br />
compare them to the existing regulations and<br />
make their decision on whether to move forward<br />
with the public hearings.<br />
“Our goal is to meet twice a month on top<br />
of the regular meeting to work on these regulations,”<br />
she said.<br />
Filchak noted that whatever changes come<br />
from the update, they would be folded into<br />
the recently updated Plan of Conservation<br />
and Development for <strong>Putnam</strong>. Updated every<br />
10 years and submitted to NECCOG, which is<br />
then submitted to the state, the plan serves as<br />
a guiding document for municipal land use<br />
boards when deliberating future development,<br />
recreation and preservation.<br />
“It’s always important to keep that document<br />
current for the people,” he said.<br />
Some residents told Filchak they would<br />
like to lessen the density of specific residential<br />
zones, which would make those properties<br />
non-conforming.<br />
“That’s not advisable,” he said. “I think we<br />
have to make it more flexible to encourage<br />
investment in those areas and the upkeep of<br />
those properties. We should make it more<br />
advantageous for home ownership than renting.<br />
Usually properties get taken care of better.”<br />
Filchak said areas along Route 44,<br />
Providence Street and Kennedy Drive will<br />
become mixed use zones, and the buildings<br />
along those roads will be kept to scale for the<br />
district’s development.<br />
“It would present more opportunity for<br />
small business,” he said. “On the ground<br />
floor, they would have a business opportunity,<br />
if they desire, that doesn’t exist now.”<br />
Through the work of the Zoning<br />
Commission and feedback from the visioning<br />
sessions, Filchak said the hope is to create a<br />
theme that is consistent with downtown<br />
<strong>Putnam</strong>.<br />
“We need to make the core downtown one<br />
universal zone,” he said.<br />
Resident Norm Perron said he appreciated<br />
Filchak’s work on the aspects of zoning.<br />
“It’s continuing to grow,” he said about the<br />
visioning sessions. “There’s a lot of good people<br />
involved. And about the redevelopment of<br />
downtown, parking is an ongoing issue, and<br />
the sidewalks. There are a lot of concerned<br />
people, but I think they’re on the right track.”<br />
Perron is the town’s fire marshal.<br />
Resident Michael Morrill asked that if the<br />
town is going to get redeveloped, would the<br />
same need be present for various town services?<br />
He said that it has been stated that 18 percent<br />
of <strong>Putnam</strong> is low-income housing.<br />
“The Connecticut guideline wants communities<br />
to get to 10 percent,” he said. “That reason<br />
is because research shows that’s a sustainable<br />
number. When you get a lot over that<br />
number, it starts to<br />
create issues that<br />
become more complicated<br />
for that town to<br />
deal with.”<br />
Morrill cited that<br />
the needs for a police<br />
force, remedial<br />
preschool resources<br />
and family resource<br />
centers may become<br />
stressed by the town’s<br />
redistricting of zones,<br />
and wants to know<br />
how that change will<br />
affect the town.<br />
“How does zoning<br />
and planning and districting,<br />
how is it<br />
formed by what<br />
<strong>Putnam</strong> would like to<br />
become?” he asked. “If<br />
we have an overrepresentation<br />
of lowincome<br />
housing in<br />
<strong>Putnam</strong>, that creates<br />
challenges in our<br />
school district in our<br />
town.”<br />
Morrill said<br />
<strong>Putnam</strong>’s need for a<br />
full police force is necessary.<br />
“I think [Police<br />
Chief Ricky Hayes]<br />
and his folks do an<br />
amazing job, and their<br />
stats tell us that we<br />
need the police we<br />
have,” he said. “We<br />

Sun., September 12, 2010<br />
10am - 3pm<br />
need every member. My question is, is that<br />
the way we want it to be? That much need?”<br />
Morrill said that the neighboring rural<br />
towns of Thompson and Woodstock are similar<br />
in population size, yet do not have a police<br />
force. He asked if the need for police in those<br />
towns is as apparent with <strong>Putnam</strong>.<br />
Morrill serves as the chairman of the<br />
<strong>Putnam</strong> Board of Education.<br />
Economic and Community Development<br />
Director Delpha Very said the visioning conversation<br />
is widening beyond the scope of<br />
downtown.<br />
“Filchak’s presentation was to combine<br />
some of the zones to make them more<br />
streamlined,” he said. “For instance, you an<br />
walk two blocks on Main Street and you’ve<br />
walked through three commercial zones. So,<br />
it makes it difficult for any business owner to<br />
be able to grow their business.”<br />
Very said continuing to hold the sessions<br />
and tweaking the design guidelines will help<br />
define what <strong>Putnam</strong> will look like.<br />
“And when developers come into communities,<br />
they are looking for guidance,” she<br />
said. “They stress the importance of design<br />

Very added that the group will be working<br />
with the chief of police on some of the current<br />
traffic flow issues in <strong>Putnam</strong>, and bring<br />
it to the attention of the Special Services<br />
District. Defining parking will be another<br />
topic, too, she said.<br />
She encouraged more members of<br />
<strong>Putnam</strong>’s boards and commissions to attend<br />
the future visioning sessions to provide feedback<br />
to the group. Dates of the next meetings<br />
are yet to be scheduled.<br />

have also been used from the Community<br />

FOUNDRY<br />
continued from page A1<br />
Next, under law, the town will be<br />
able to place a lien on the premises<br />
to cover the town’s costs for demolition<br />
work.<br />
According to Town<br />
Administrator Doug Cutler, Palo<br />
has to also report how he will<br />
refurbish the property’s other<br />
buildings at 12 Furnace St., using<br />
formal engineering reports.<br />
“He may request a 90-day extension,”<br />
he said, “but he has to show<br />
that there has been substantial<br />
progress.”<br />
Not including demolition figures,<br />
Cutler said the estimated cost<br />
of hazardous materials abatement<br />
is about $125,500.<br />
Jeff Vento, nephew of Peter<br />
Palo, said they are currently working<br />
on the property, but declined to<br />
comment further.<br />
On June 7, a structure fire was<br />
reported at the vacant mill complex.<br />
<strong>Putnam</strong> Fire Marshal Norm<br />
Perron reported that the <strong>Putnam</strong><br />
Fire Department quickly extinguished<br />
the fire and no one was<br />
injured.<br />
He said the origin of the fire was<br />
located to two distinct piles of<br />
burning wooden pallets. The<br />
<strong>Putnam</strong> Police Department’s K-9,<br />
Cero, picked up a human scent<br />
near the western end of the property,<br />
adjacent to the railroad<br />
tracks. Accelerants were detected<br />
during the investigation.<br />
“It was intentionally set at multiple<br />
points of origin,” said Perron.<br />
A $2,500 reward was issued by<br />
Perron’s office and the police<br />
department for any information<br />
leading to the arrest and conviction<br />
of the persons involved with<br />
setting the June 7 blaze.<br />
As of Tuesday, Aug. 31, Perron<br />
and <strong>Putnam</strong> Police Detective<br />
Justin Lussier said the case is still<br />
open, but there is nothing new to<br />
report.<br />
In August 2007, a fire was set<br />
Trust Your<br />
inside the old foundry building.<br />
Two teenagers were eventually<br />
arrested and charged with arson,<br />
conspiracy to commit arson, burglary,<br />
reckless endangerment and<br />
risk of injury, stemming from a<br />
<strong>Putnam</strong> Police investigation. The<br />
youths have not been identified<br />
because of their ages.<br />
At the time of that blaze, as well<br />
as the one in June, Perron said that<br />
on numerous occasions between<br />
his office and the <strong>Putnam</strong> Police,<br />
squatters have been using the<br />
building for shelter, as well as<br />
“transient youths.”<br />
“They’ve been mandated to<br />
demolish three buildings in their<br />
entirety,” said Perron, “and make<br />
some kind of resolution on the<br />
remaining structures. Are they<br />
sound? Some one has to make that<br />
legitimate determination.”<br />

Wal-Mart expansion talks continue<br />
WAL-MART<br />
continued from page A1<br />
The text amendments,<br />
if approved by<br />
the town, will set a<br />
precedent for future<br />
public hearings with<br />
land use boards on<br />
approving the expansion<br />
proposal.<br />
Mayor Robert Viens<br />
said the main components<br />
of the upgrade<br />
are to add a grocery<br />
section to the store, as<br />
well as relocate the<br />
store’s entrance with<br />
on- and off-ramps to the adjacent<br />
Interstate 395. If approved, it is slated<br />
to add 50 to 100 jobs.<br />
Wal-Mart withdrew their original<br />
application with <strong>Putnam</strong> and submitted<br />
a new one recently, said<br />
Chris Buchanan, senior manager of<br />
public affairs and government relations<br />
at Wal-Mart’s Plymouth, Mass.<br />
headquarters.<br />
He attests his company’s research<br />
File photo<br />
Wal-Mart, located at 625 School St., has been chosen for<br />
a proposed 50,000 square foot expansion into a<br />
“Supercenter” location.<br />
indicates that <strong>Putnam</strong> is “in need”<br />
of a larger store, with a grocery<br />
component.<br />
“We have filed an application that<br />
will permit the expansion, however<br />
that application is not specific only<br />
to our site, it will apply to the entire<br />
zone where we are located,” he said.<br />

SPORTS<br />
<strong>Putnam</strong> soccer program on a new frontier in CSC<br />
BY BENJAMIN R. KIPP<br />
SPORTS CORRESPONDENT<br />
PUTNAM — The unknown may<br />
be the biggest theme of this year’s<br />
<strong>Putnam</strong> boys soccer program.<br />
Joshua Lord was introduced as<br />
the new coach this summer, while<br />
the entire <strong>Putnam</strong> athletic program<br />
moved over to the Constitution<br />
State Conference (CSC).<br />
“I think it will be a fresh new season,”<br />
said Lord. “We’re going to<br />
have a very young team. We’ve got<br />
only five seniors on this year’s<br />
team.”<br />
Roughly 15 players came out for<br />
the team this year, a lower number<br />
than what Lord expected. Also, only<br />
one sophomore came out for the<br />
team this year. The lower numbers<br />
mean the team won’t have a junior<br />
varsity or freshmen program. Two<br />
freshmen, Joseph Ortiz and Kyle<br />
Below will play this year.<br />
Lord will look to three seniors to<br />
lead the team this year, forward Ian<br />
Stadig, midfielder Dominic<br />
Didonado and defender Austin<br />
Dodd.<br />
“They are the core of the team<br />
this year,” said Lord. “These guys<br />
are going to be important, they definitely<br />
will play key roles this year.”<br />
Lord graduated from<br />
Glastonbury High School in 1997,<br />
then played college soccer at<br />
Mitchell College and Central<br />
Connecticut State University. He<br />
also played semi-professional soccer<br />
for Legends FC, of New Haven.<br />
He also played in the Connecticut<br />
Soccer League, which is the premier<br />
soccer league in the state. This<br />
year will be his first time coaching<br />
a high school team.<br />
Although he’s coached AAU and<br />
youth teams, Lord said he is looking<br />
forward to coaching at the high<br />
school level. He currently is working<br />
in the Plainfield school system<br />
and is also going to Eastern<br />
Connecticut State University to finish<br />
up his sports management<br />
degree.<br />
“I’ve been coaching for the last<br />
eight years, but not at the high<br />
school level,” said Lord “I wanted to<br />
get experience coaching bigger<br />
kids.”<br />
The new CSC league will be a<br />
challenge. It’s unknown how<br />
<strong>Putnam</strong> will perform in the new<br />
league, but Lord wants the Clippers<br />
to be competitive. Also, an<br />
unknown is how good the league is.<br />
At the same time, the teams in the<br />
CSC haven’t seen <strong>Putnam</strong> — so it’s<br />
a two-way street.<br />
“I’m not familiar with some of<br />
the teams, but I do think we’ve got a<br />
good chance of being better than<br />
.500 this year,” Lord said. “I think<br />
we’re going to have a good shot at<br />
doing pretty well.<br />
Lord has a few goals for the<br />
Clippers.<br />
“I just want them to work hard,<br />
come together, compete and it’s not<br />
always about winning,” he said,<br />
adding that he may have a different<br />
coaching style, but he hopes it can<br />
translate into wins.<br />
“I like to start my offense through<br />
my defense,” he said. “I like to be<br />
able to counter from the back and<br />
the players I’m going to look to the<br />
most will be Dominic and Ian to<br />
start the offense.”<br />
The kids are excited to be back<br />
kicking the ball around.<br />
“They’re enjoying their training<br />
right now and they’re looking forward<br />
to the beginning their season,”<br />
said Lord.<br />
Christopher reigns supreme at Thompson<br />
THOMPSON, Conn. — Thompson<br />
International Speedway played host to the<br />

In the end it was “one of their” own standing<br />

Modified Racing Series victory. In NASCAR<br />
Whelen All-American Series action, Ted<br />

Wayne Coury Sr. of Milford, Conn., celebrated<br />
with a win in the Late Models. Joe<br />
Arena of Bristol, Conn., earned a hard-fought<br />

In an effort to recognize outstanding<br />
employees, Westview implemented the<br />
Employee of the Year award in 2008 to<br />
enhance its established Employee of the<br />
Month program, which rewards outstanding<br />
employees who demonstrate dedication, outstanding<br />
work ethics and a positive attitude<br />
that is reflected in their day-to-day work.<br />
“It is important to recognize the outstanding<br />
rehabilitative services and deep compassion<br />
Roxanne shows for our patients and residents,”<br />
said Panteleakos. “Her contributions<br />
go above and beyond<br />
the call of duty, and<br />
she deserves the highest<br />
caliber of recognition<br />
for all of the effort<br />
she puts forward. We<br />
are proud that she<br />
Oxford, MA<br />
chose to build her career at Westview.”<br />
“Working at Westview the past eight years<br />
has been a privilege as well as a rewarding<br />
experience. The cutting edge changes that I<br />
have experienced over the course of these<br />
years at Westview have been amazing,” said<br />
Alicea. “I feel fortunate to have the opportunity<br />
to work in an environment with people<br />
that do not hesitate to go above and beyond to<br />
make our patients, residents and co-workers<br />
feel they are a priority.”<br />
Alicea has resided in Dudley since 2005<br />
with her son Nathaniel Jean Baptiste, age 16,<br />
and husband Manuel Alicea.<br />

PUTNAM VILLAGER<br />
Villager thanks its readers for five years of readership<br />
VILLAGER<br />
continued from page A1<br />
<strong>Putnam</strong> Price Chopper construction, the<br />
<strong>Putnam</strong> Wal-Mart PS3 shooting, the unfortunate<br />
death of Judy Nilan, the use of outdoor<br />
wood burning furnaces, and the <strong>Putnam</strong><br />
Regional YMCA project — all of these topics<br />
and more — the Villager has been at the forefront<br />
of local media coverage, bringing your<br />
news to you every week.<br />
“It is important to me that we get to share<br />
with our readers all aspects of life here in<br />
Northeast Connecticut,” said Matt<br />
Sanderson, who has been with the Villager<br />
<strong>News</strong>papers since May 2008. “Not only when<br />
news breaks, we’re there to cover it, but we<br />
also take the time to speak with members of<br />
our community individually and find the<br />
news our readers want.”<br />
During this landmark anniversary, it may<br />
be interesting to see how we got here.<br />
Stonebridge Press President and Publisher<br />
Frank G. Chilinski explained the papers were<br />
launched after the company had gotten calls<br />
from Connecticut readers interested in having<br />
a paper similar to our papers in the<br />
Central Massachusetts. Stonebridge Press,<br />
the parent company of the Villager, runs six<br />
weekly newspapers out of its office in<br />
<strong>Southbridge</strong>, Mass., including the Webster<br />
Times, Auburn <strong>News</strong>, Spencer New Leader,<br />
Charlton Villager, Sturbridge Villager, and<br />
Blackstone Valley Tribune, as well as the<br />
company’s flagship daily newspaper, the<br />
<strong>Southbridge</strong> <strong>Evening</strong> <strong>News</strong>.<br />
“We had often gotten calls from people in<br />
Northeast Connecticut asking us to consider<br />
starting a newspaper here,” Chilinski said.<br />
“There wasn’t a good source of news in the<br />
area so people had no place to go for local<br />
news.”<br />
Chilinski said Stonebridge Press did a year<br />
of market research and asked people what<br />
they wanted in a paper. What readers and<br />
advertisers alike wanted, he said, was what<br />
Stonebridge Press tries to do with all of its<br />
papers.<br />
“They wanted news that was hyper local,<br />
and that is what we like to do,” Chilinski said.<br />
“Our mission is to reflect each community as<br />
best we can. No local news is too small, in<br />
fact, the smaller the better. We want to cover<br />
everything from the Cub Scouts bake sales to<br />
meetings at Town Hall.”<br />
Even after knowing what our potential<br />
readers wanted, however, there was still a lot<br />
of work to do to launch a new set of papers.<br />
David Dore, the original editor of the<br />
<strong>Putnam</strong> Villager when it launched in 2005,<br />
and who is now the editor of the Spencer<br />
New Leader, said introducing the paper to the<br />
community was an interesting experience.<br />
“That was the first time I went through<br />
something like that, building a newspaper<br />
from the ground up,” Dore said. “Starting a<br />
newspaper is always an interesting thing,<br />
especially in our case — nobody in Eastern<br />
Connecticut knew what to expect. There was<br />
a lot of preparation and work that went into<br />
it.”<br />
Dore said that before the first edition, editors<br />
spent weeks going to public meetings to<br />
get the lay of the land, meeting with town<br />
officials, and talking with members of the<br />
community. It was hard work, he said, but it<br />
paid off after the first papers were released.<br />
“When we got the first edition, I remember<br />
thinking, ‘Wow, we finally did it, people have<br />
something in their hands,’” he said. “And I<br />
couldn’t believe the response. It was overwhelmingly<br />
positive — people were thrilled<br />
to see an actual newspaper come to the area.<br />
There were things we reported that nobody<br />
else was dealing with.”<br />
The response has remained strong. To date,<br />
the Villager is delivered to around 80 percent<br />
of all homes in the coverage area.<br />
Current Villager Editor Adam Minor, who<br />
was a reporter for the <strong>Putnam</strong> Villager and<br />
Thompson Villager from November 2005 to<br />
June 2007, and recently returned as editor in<br />
August, said he is confident the paper will<br />
continue to grow and continue to keep and<br />
attract readers. The secret, he said, is to be<br />
consistent in the mission of local news. Much<br />
can change, but that cannot. Since the beginning<br />
we have changed editors multiple times,<br />
and have had reporters come and go. We have<br />
also featured a variety of columnists.<br />
However, the Villager has always been committed<br />
to cover the news our readers want,<br />
the stories of their town.<br />
“The Villager has always been focused on<br />
local news,” Minor said. “When I was a<br />
writer here, you got that community feel<br />
wherever you went. That has always been a<br />
consistent element in the papers.”<br />
Looking ahead, Minor said he feels confident<br />
in the papers.<br />
“I think our outlook is good,” he said. “I<br />
think we have a great editorial staff and a<br />
great advertising staff. As long as we focus on<br />
being as local as possible, we’ll be just fine.”<br />
Another strength that bolsters the Villager<br />
<strong>News</strong>papers, Minor said, is the contributions<br />
of our readers. Our guest editorialists, those<br />
who pen letters to the editor and those who<br />
send in their “Sound Offs” help make this a<br />
true local paper.<br />
“Being back for about two weeks now as<br />
editor,” Minor said, “I am reminded of how<br />
people like to have their voices heard in our<br />
paper,” Minor said. “We have great local column<br />
writers and letter writers, offering a<br />
great variety of opinions. They make the<br />
newspaper their own, and we welcome their<br />
voices.”<br />

THANK YOU<br />
Dear Quiet Corner residents,<br />
The last five years here at the Villager<br />
would mean nothing without its readers.<br />
When we sent out our first issue in<br />
September 2005 to mailboxes all around<br />
the Quiet Corner, we knew we had something<br />
special going, and here we are —<br />
five years later — nearing the end of<br />
2010. Wow, how time flies, making it hard<br />
to capture the memories of years gone by.<br />
But it’s the newspaper we work on<br />
every day that captures those memories<br />
for you. It’s the photos of local events,<br />
stories that tell the tales of remarkable<br />
people in our communities. It’s the calendar<br />
of events that keeps people informed<br />
on what is going on, when, where and<br />
why. It’s the opinions of our loyal readers<br />
that give the communities a voice. It’s the<br />
advertisers that rely on us to get the word<br />
out about their businesses.<br />
We appreciate it all. Thank you for<br />
allowing us into your homes each and<br />
every week and making us a part of your<br />
routine. From all of us here at the<br />
Villager, from our editorial staff to our<br />
advertising executives, thank you for<br />
making us your hometown newspaper.<br />
We look forward to many more anniversaries<br />
with you.<br />
SINCERELY,<br />
ADAM MINOR<br />

PUTNAM — The Theatre of Northeastern<br />
Connecticut at the Bradley Playhouse will<br />
showcase an evening of original theatre<br />
when it proudly presents the 2010 Playwright<br />
Festival.<br />
Performances are Friday, Sept. 10 and<br />
Saturday, Sept. 11 at 8 p.m. All seats are $10.<br />
This production is not part of the regular<br />
Bradley season, so season and flex passes<br />
cannot be used.<br />
According to Scott Guerin, executive director<br />
of the Festival, the Blockbuster<br />
Playwright Festival started in 2006, as a way<br />
to bring new, unpublished scripts to the stage<br />
to showcase “local” talent. In 2010, we<br />
received almost 50 scripts from all over the<br />
United States. While the competition is open<br />
to any type of play — drama, comedy, mystery,<br />
etc., the plays submitted were predominantly<br />
comedies, which is reflected in our<br />

Bradley to host Playwright Festival<br />
presentation.<br />
This evening of light-hearted entertainment<br />
consists of six one act plays, each written<br />
by a different playwright and directed by<br />
local directors: “Tricks of the Trade” by<br />
Robert C. Latino (Brookfield, Mass.), “Jump”<br />
by George J. Bryjak (Bloomingdale, N.Y.),<br />
“Johnny & Linda” by Paul Bowman (New<br />
Albany, Ind.), “Marsha’s Job Interview” by<br />
Nicole Panteleakos (Plainfield), “Pulling the<br />
Plug” by Karen Hartline (Oakland, Calif.)<br />
and “Mrs. Invisible” by Robert L. Hecker<br />
(Sherman Oaks, Calif.). The casts include<br />
familiar Bradley performers, as well as a few<br />
new faces. Some actors appear in more than<br />
one play. Robert Latino, the author of “Tricks<br />
Indian Summer<br />
Dine under our tent with live music<br />
Friday evenings.<br />
4:00 p.m. - 9:00 p.m. Reservations recommended<br />
of the Trade,” is acting in three of the plays,<br />
but not the one he wrote.<br />
It’s a fun change of pace to be able to spend<br />
an evening at the theatre and see six completely<br />
different shows. Most will make you<br />
laugh, some will make you think — but all<br />
will entertain and give you a hint at the talent<br />
that is out there waiting to be discovered.<br />
The Bradley Playhouse is located at 30<br />
Front Street (Route 44) in <strong>Putnam</strong>. Tickets<br />
are available at Wonderland Books, 120 Main<br />
Street and Victoria Station Café, 91 Main St.,<br />
both in <strong>Putnam</strong>. Reservations may be made<br />

Dennis Polisky and the Maestro’s Men bring Polka to Webster<br />
This Sunday, Sept. 5, it’s the<br />
Annual Labor Day Weekend<br />
Polka Dance at the PACC in<br />
Webster.<br />
The event features Dennis<br />
Polisky and the Maestro’s Men and<br />
the Pulaski Brass Band. The<br />
Maestro’s Men have been performing<br />
together since 1996 and have<br />
seven recording releases. Their<br />
diverse repertoire includes not just<br />
polkas but also waltzes, swing, dixieland,<br />
Big Band, Latin, Italian,<br />
Irish, German, and more. The<br />
musicians’ unique backgrounds<br />
and experience form the heart of<br />
the Maestro’s Men sound.<br />
Bandleader Dennis Polisky grew<br />
up in a musical family, learning the<br />
clarinet and sax at the age of nine<br />
from his father Ray. Grandfather<br />
Charles Polisky performed with<br />
the original Kryger Orchestra of<br />
Pennsylvania and Paul Whitman’s<br />
big band.<br />
The rest of the band comes from<br />
equally talented and prestigious<br />
backgrounds. Jackie Libera<br />
(vocals, keyboard, and bass) is the<br />
son of Polka Hall of Famer John<br />
Libera and has been a successful<br />
singer, bandleader, and radio host<br />
for many years. Ken Yash (drums<br />
and vocals) has been in many<br />
bands with Libera and others since<br />
the age of 15. The group also<br />
includes the accomplished Rich<br />
Bernier (accordion), and the energetic<br />
Andy Galarneau and Jim<br />
Motyka (both trumpet).<br />
In addition to numerous band<br />
and song awards, the Maestro’s<br />
Men album “Strike Up The Band”<br />
(2003) was nominated for a<br />
Grammy. The group has also<br />
received numerous rave written<br />
reviews and was voted “Band Of<br />
The Year” by W.A.R.E. radio.<br />
Pulaski Brass band (free) kicks<br />
things off then music at noon, then<br />
it’s Dennis Polisky and the<br />

Eastford<br />
Right to Farm Ordinance<br />
Purpose and Intent<br />
Agriculture is a significant part of the Town of<br />
Eastford’s heritage and a vital part of the<br />
Town’s future. This Right-to-Farm ordinance<br />
encourages the pursuit of agriculture, promotes<br />
agriculture-based economic opportunities,<br />
and supports the preservation of farmland<br />
within Eastford by allowing agricultural<br />
uses and related activities to function with<br />
minimal conflict with abutters and Town<br />
agencies.<br />
Definitions<br />
The terms “agriculture” and “farming” shall<br />
have all those meanings set forth in Section<br />
1-1(q) of the Connecticut General Statutes,<br />
as amended.<br />
Right-to-Farm<br />
No present or future agricultural operation<br />
conducted or maintained in a manner consistent<br />
with accepted agricultural practices,<br />
which is engaged in the act of farming as<br />
defined in this ordinance, shall become or be<br />
considered a nuisance solely because such<br />
activity resulted or results in any changed<br />
condition of the use of adjacent land.<br />
Agricultural operations may occur any day or<br />
night provided such activities do not violate<br />
applicable health, safety, fire, zoning, wetlands,<br />
life safety, environmental or building<br />
codes and regulations.<br />
Inspection and approval of the agricultural or<br />
farming operation, place, establishment or<br />
facility by the Commissioner of Agriculture or<br />
his/her designee shall be prima facie evidence<br />
that such operations follow generally<br />
accepted agricultural practices. Nothing contained<br />
in this ordinance shall restrict the powers<br />
of Eastford’s Inland Wetlands<br />
Commission, Planning Commission, Building<br />
or Health Departments under Connecticut<br />
General Statutes.<br />
Dispute Resolution and Advisory<br />
Opinions<br />
An interested person may submit a written<br />
request to the Board of Selectmen’s Office<br />
for an opinion as to whether a particular agricultural<br />
operation constitutes a nuisance or is<br />
an activity that is incidental to normal and<br />
customary farming activity and comports<br />
with community standards. Nothing herein<br />
shall preclude any party from either appealing<br />
said advisory determination to the<br />
Superior Court for the Judicial District of<br />
Windham County and/or commencing a<br />
direct action in said court to abate the<br />
claimed nuisance.<br />

RELIGION<br />
The smartest man in the world<br />
“Now all has been heard;<br />
here is the conclusion of<br />
the matter: Fear God and<br />
keep his commandments,<br />
for this is the whole duty<br />
of man. For God will<br />
bring every deed into<br />
judgment, including<br />
every hidden thing,<br />
whether it is good or evil.”<br />
Ecc. 12:13-14<br />
There was this guy — the<br />
smartest man in the world, who was on a<br />
small plane with four other passengers, flying<br />
over the Rockies.<br />
The other passengers were a doctor, a politician,<br />
a minister and a college student. And,<br />
of course, there was the pilot. Things were<br />
going along smoothly when a sudden blast of<br />
air forced the plane upwards, and then<br />
caused it to stall.<br />
Beads of sweat formed on the pilot’s brow as<br />
he tried to restart the engine — to no avail.<br />
He turned to the passengers and said, “We<br />
have six people on board, but only five parachutes.<br />
I must take one of them because my<br />
large family needs their father.”<br />
And with that he grabbed a parachute and<br />
jumped.<br />
The politician said, “The country needs me<br />
now more than ever,” and he, too, grabbed a<br />
chute and jumped.<br />
Then the doctor said, “I have many, many<br />
patients who desperately need me. I must<br />
have one of the parachutes.”<br />
So he grabbed another pack and jumped.<br />
The smartest man in the world said, “I am<br />
brilliant beyond my years. I know everything<br />
about anything; and am on the verge<br />
of some of the greatest discoveries and the<br />
most amazing breakthroughs in history.<br />
Certainly the world needs me more than<br />
ever!”<br />
And so he grabbed a pack and jumped, leaving<br />
only one parachute between two remaining<br />
passengers.<br />
The minister turned to the student and said,<br />
“Young man, I’ve lived a full and meaningful<br />
life. I’m ready to meet my Maker. You take<br />
the last parachute and go.”<br />
The student calmly replied, “Oh, I don’t<br />
think that’s necessary, Pastor. You see, the<br />
smartest man in the world just jumped out<br />
of the plane with my back pack!”<br />
All of us have at times have made unbelievably<br />
stupid mistakes — regardless of how<br />
smart we think we are. Life is like that. No<br />
one walks on this earth without stumbling<br />
from time to time. Aren’t you glad that others<br />
don’t know about many of the blunders<br />
in your life?<br />
But of course we know there is One who<br />
does know about every mistake and every<br />
sin in our life. Everything that is known and<br />
everything that is hidden. He is the One who<br />
sovereignly watches over every moment of<br />
our life, the One to whom we will ultimately<br />
answer. The verse above reminds us that one<br />

day every deed whether<br />
good or evil will be brought<br />
under His judgment. So it<br />
is a very smart person who<br />
lives day to day mindful of<br />
the way he conducts himself.<br />
Now the interesting thing<br />
about these verses is that it<br />
was written by a man who<br />
really was the smartest<br />
man in the world. The Bible<br />
tells us that King Solomon<br />
was the wisest man who ever lived. Not only<br />
was he the wisest man but he was also the<br />
wealthiest man who ever lived. As such he<br />
had the ability to pursue every endeavor<br />
that attracted his attention.<br />
Solomon tasted everything this world has to<br />
offer. And consistently time after time — no<br />
matter what he explored — he was left with<br />
the same discovery. No matter what he did, it<br />
did not add any real significance to his life.<br />
In a way, Ecclesiastes is one of the most<br />
depressing books in the Bible. It starts with<br />
the statement that everything in life is<br />
meaningless — utterly meaningless! And<br />
that’s the high point of the entire book. It’s<br />
all down hill from that point on as Solomon<br />
explores the significance of obtaining wisdom,<br />
chasing after pleasure, the value of<br />
work, building great projects, planting vineyards<br />
gardens and parks, amassing silver<br />
and gold. After he indulges himself in each<br />
one of these pursuits he comes to the conclusion:<br />
“Yet when I surveyed all that my hands<br />
had done and what I had toiled to achieve,<br />
everything was meaningless, a chasing after<br />
the wind; nothing was gained under the<br />
sun.”<br />
In other words, “I’ve done everything possible<br />
to try and fill the hole in my life. And<br />
nothing works! I still feel miserable! I still<br />
feel like I’m missing something!”<br />
If that’s the best answer the smartest man in<br />
the world comes up with — I’m in trouble.<br />
But Solomon does make a great discovery<br />
after indulging himself in everything the<br />
world has to offer. Significance and meaning<br />
in life may not be found in worldly pursuits,<br />
but it is found in living in a right relationship<br />
with God.<br />
“Fear God and keep his commandments, for<br />
this is the whole duty of man.” Solomon<br />
says, “Here’s the bottom line, to everything<br />
I’ve been saying — The only worthwhile pursuit<br />
that will not end in potential disappointment<br />
is having a personal relationship with<br />
God.”<br />
So smarten up and make sure you don’t<br />
spend your life chasing after the wind.<br />
Chase after your Savior and he will not disappoint<br />
you.<br />

HEALTH<br />
Preparing For A Healthy Delivery<br />
(NAPS)<br />
One of the best things<br />
prospective parents can do for<br />
their infants, doctors say, is to<br />
wait for them.<br />
THE TREND<br />
Physicians and organizations<br />
such as the March of<br />
Dimes say they are concerned<br />
about the large number of<br />
elective deliveries (C-sections<br />
and inductions) that are<br />
being scheduled for nonmedical<br />
reasons prior to 39 weeks.<br />
This troubling trend can lead<br />
to serious health consequences<br />
for the baby and<br />
potential dangers for the<br />
mother, too. Additionally,<br />
early and elective deliveries<br />
add high costs to the health<br />
care system.<br />
Unfortunately, knowledge<br />
of the risks associated with<br />
early elective C-sections and<br />
labor induction is not widespread.<br />
In fact, a recent survey<br />
by UnitedHealthcare of<br />
first-time mothers found that<br />
more than half believe it is<br />
safe to deliver their baby<br />
before 37 weeks, even if not<br />
required because of a medical<br />
complication, while 24<br />
percent believe that full term<br />
is reached before 37 weeks.<br />
However, the American<br />
Congress of Obstetricians<br />
and Gynecologists (ACOG)<br />
recommends that scheduled<br />
deliveries occur only after 39<br />
weeks’ gestation.<br />
“It’s a common misperception<br />
among expectant mothers<br />
that nine months equals<br />
36 weeks, but Mother<br />
Nature’s formula for healthy<br />
babies is actually a little<br />
longer than that at 40 weeks,”<br />
said Tina Groat, M.D., national<br />
medical director of<br />
Women’s Health for<br />
UnitedHealthcare.<br />
Babies do best when they’re allowed to grow for 39 weeks before being born.<br />
RESEARCH REVEALS<br />
SERIOUS RISKS<br />
Medical research reveals<br />
that babies born between 34<br />
and 36 weeks are more likely<br />
to die than full-term infants<br />
and, if they survive, are<br />
more likely to have developmental<br />
delays than babies<br />
born full term.<br />
A study published in The<br />
New England Journal of<br />
Medicine found that more<br />
than 35 percent of elective C-<br />
section deliveries were performed<br />
before 39 weeks’ gestation.<br />
And, supporting<br />
ACOG’s warning, the<br />
research revealed that<br />
babies born at 37 weeks were<br />
twice as likely to have health<br />
problems, usually respiratory<br />
in nature, than babies<br />
born at 39 weeks or later.<br />
Further, neonatal intensive<br />
care unit admissions were<br />
5.9 percent at 39 weeks’ gestation<br />
and rose to 8.1 percent<br />
at 38 weeks and 12.8 percent<br />
at 37 weeks.<br />
“The results of this study<br />
underscore the importance<br />
of educating expectant<br />
mothers on the risks associated<br />
with elective deliveries<br />
prior to 39 weeks,” said<br />
Groat. “Women should talk<br />
with their doctors about the<br />
best time to deliver in order<br />
to reduce complications for<br />
the newborn baby.”<br />

What Women Would<br />
Rather Not Talk About<br />
(NAPS)<br />
Not only may women be<br />
embarrassed to openly discuss<br />
one of the most basic<br />
health topics affecting them,<br />
but many even believe it’s<br />
more socially acceptable to<br />
talk about men’s health.<br />
That’s just one of the eyeopening<br />
findings of a new<br />
survey of more than 1,600<br />
North American women, ages<br />
14?35, conducted by Harris<br />
Interactive. Seventy-two percent<br />
of women polled felt<br />
society is more open to discussion<br />
of men’s health than<br />
women’s health, while 47 percent<br />
were more comfortable<br />
talking about vaginal health<br />
anonymously online than<br />
with close friends or family.<br />
The lack of discussion<br />
about women’s health has led<br />
to many misconceptions that<br />
experts such as Dr. Tomi-Ann<br />
Roberts, director of Colorado<br />
College’s gender studies program,<br />
are now determined to<br />
correct using what Dr.<br />
Roberts calls “truth and<br />
transparency.” Time, then, to<br />
separate some myths from<br />
the facts:<br />
MYTH: The words “down<br />
there” cannot be used in<br />
advertising for feminine care<br />
products.<br />
A recent survey discovered a surprising<br />
fact about many American<br />
women.<br />
FACT: National TV networks<br />
do not allow feminine<br />
care commercials to even use<br />
veiled references to vaginas,<br />
yet male ED commercials go<br />
as far as suggesting the sexual<br />
act! How hypocritical!<br />
MYTH: Everyone’s cycle<br />
lasts exactly 28 days.<br />
FACT: That’s just an average.<br />
Anywhere from 21?35<br />
days is normal, and teens’ can<br />
last up to 45 days.<br />
MYTH: All women get<br />
cramps.<br />
FACT: Roughly 50 percent<br />
of women never, or barely,<br />
experience them during their<br />
periods.<br />
MYTH: People can tell, just<br />
by looking at you, when<br />
you’re having your period.<br />
FACT: About 25 percent of<br />
all women between the ages<br />
of 10 and 50 will be having<br />
their periods at any one time.<br />
Go ahead, just try to pick<br />
them out on the street. (That<br />
dare is courtesy of Dr.<br />
Roberts, who U by Kotex, a<br />
line of feminine care products<br />
devoted to “updating the<br />
conversation on women’s<br />
health,” consulted with in<br />
coming up with the questions<br />
and answers on its very informative<br />
website, www.ubykotex.com.)<br />
MYTH: There’s no natural<br />
way to relieve pain from menstrual<br />
cramps.<br />
FACT: Exercising activates<br />
endorphins, the body’s natural<br />
painkillers. It can also alleviate<br />
water retention.<br />
MYTH: You lose a lot of<br />
blood during your period.<br />
FACT: Although it may<br />
seem that way, the average<br />
woman loses just four to six<br />
tablespoons.<br />
MYTH: Dairy foods, like<br />
ice cream, should be avoided<br />
during your period.<br />
FACT: Eating and drinking<br />
foods high in calcium (e.g.,<br />
dairy products, fortified<br />
orange juice and soy milk)<br />
may actually help reduce<br />
PMS symptoms.<br />

teeth health, as well as<br />
breast, colon and immune<br />
system health, can be<br />
improved simply by making<br />
sure you get enough<br />
vitamin D. The bad news is<br />
that these studies also<br />
show it can be very difficult<br />
to do so through diet<br />
alone. That’s why many<br />
health experts recommend<br />
an increase to the<br />
Recommended Daily<br />
Allowance for vitamin D,<br />
suggesting you get a minimum<br />
of 2,000 IUs each day.<br />
While your body will<br />
naturally produce vitamin<br />
D when exposed to sunshine,<br />
doctors recommend<br />
you use sunblock when<br />
you go out to protect yourself<br />
from skin cancer. In<br />
addition, the lack of sunshine<br />
in many places<br />
means most people are at<br />
risk for vitamin D deficiency.<br />
According to a surgeon<br />
general report on bone<br />
health and osteoporosis,<br />
bones are constantly<br />
renewed and grow<br />
stronger with a good diet<br />
and physical activity.<br />
Fortunately, there are<br />
steps you can take to get<br />
the vitamin D you need.<br />
• Consider a nutritional<br />
supplement. One, which<br />
has been called a supplement<br />
as natural as the sun,<br />
can help fill the vitamin D<br />
gap in your diet with the<br />
equivalent of 20 8-ounce<br />
glasses of milk. It’s formulated<br />
with the naturally<br />
occurring form of vitamin<br />
D the body produces when<br />
exposed<br />
to<br />
sunlight.?What’s more, it<br />
has vitamin K2, an excellent<br />
complement to D<br />
because it helps promote<br />
calcium incorporation<br />
into bone. Vitamin D helps<br />
the body absorb calcium.<br />
The supplement,<br />
Nutrilite Vitamin D3 2,000<br />
IU Plus Vitamin K2, comes<br />
from a company that<br />
strongly believes in the<br />
power of phytonutrients<br />
and wants to use only the<br />
best sources, so many of<br />
the plant concentrates that<br />
go into its products come<br />
from its own farms.<br />
Registered physician<br />
assistant Amy Hendel suggests<br />
you can also:<br />
• Add one tablespoon of<br />
white cod liver oil or other<br />
fish liver oils to your diet<br />
daily.<br />
• Use mushrooms in salads<br />
and soups.<br />
• Drink beverages fortified<br />
with vitamin D, such<br />
as milk, orange juice and<br />
soy.<br />
• Breakfast or snack on<br />
cereal fortified with vitamin<br />
D.<br />
• Include several varieties<br />
of fish in your diet,<br />
especially salmon, mackerel,<br />
tuna and sardines.<br />
The vitamin supplement<br />
is available exclusively<br />
through Amway Global<br />
Independent Business<br />
Owners in North America.<br />

Subaru WRX STI, Always a Snarling Super Sports Car,<br />
BY KEITH GRIFFIN<br />
Subaru is enjoying phenomenal<br />
sales success around the country<br />
and not just here in its bedrock,<br />
New England. A good portion of<br />
that success has to come from its<br />
move to more mainstream looking<br />
vehicles (along with good products).<br />
Gone are its distinctive shapes<br />
that are now replaced by softer<br />
lines. Middle-of-the-road designs<br />
means you're seeing a lot more<br />
Subarus on the road. More cars<br />
means more profits, which allows<br />
a manufacturer to think outside of<br />
the box.<br />
Subaru has gone outside its box<br />
with the 2011 Subaru Impreza WRX<br />
STI - the hot sports sedan that is<br />
lusted after by rally car enthusiasts<br />
and teen drivers everywhere. It is<br />
wider and lower this year for<br />
noticeably better handling.<br />
Two versions are offered: a fourdoor<br />
sedan and a five-door hatchback.<br />
It's the former you're going to<br />
want (if you crave these types of<br />
things) because it has a huge wing<br />
mounted on the trunk. Clipped in<br />
the previous generation STI, the<br />
rear wing spoiler resumes its rightful<br />
place on this generation's<br />
model.<br />
As demonstrated during a media<br />
introduction in the mountains of<br />
Aspen, Colo., this wing is no cosmetic<br />
attachment. It's there for a<br />
good reason: to keep the wheels of<br />
the STI firmly planted when power<br />
is applied by the high-boost 305-hp<br />
turbocharged/intercooled Boxer<br />
engine teamed with a 6-speed manual<br />
transmission.<br />
With a top speed of 158-mph in<br />
the four-door sedan version (the<br />
five-door hatchback gets 155 mph),<br />
there's no doubt this is a car built<br />
for speed but there is also a sense of<br />
refinement to it because of the<br />
Subaru Intelligent Drive technology<br />
that is only found on the WRX<br />
STI. The driver selects among<br />
three modes: intelligent with a<br />
more relaxed throttle response;<br />
sport, which as expected, delivers<br />
quicker throttle response, and<br />
sport sharp that tweaks the<br />
engine's electronic throttle mapping<br />
for even faster throttle<br />
response.<br />
The handling of the STI is fairly<br />
phenomenal when compared to the<br />
2010 model. That point was reinforced<br />
during some track time at<br />
Aspen Motorsports Park. The previous<br />
generation didn't handle<br />
apexes and curves as well as the<br />
2011 version with its improved<br />
drag coefficient, and the rear spoiler<br />
design that contributes to stable<br />
high-speed handling and achievement<br />
of zero lift.<br />
Major changes to suspension tuning<br />
for the 2011 WRX STI include a<br />
lowered ride height and new pillow-ball<br />
bushings in front and<br />
stiffer bushings for the rear subframe<br />
that supports the doublewishbone<br />
suspension for improved<br />
camber and toe stiffness. Both the<br />
front and rear suspension systems<br />
employ higher-rate springs and<br />
thicker front and rear stabilizer<br />
bars than the 2010 model.<br />
As odd as it sounds, Subaru has<br />
transformed the WRX STI into a<br />
daily commuter through interior<br />
refinements. As one Subaru exec<br />
joked, it's no longer just a toy for<br />
boy racers. It has a leatherwrapped<br />
tilt and telescoping steering<br />
wheel that features control<br />
switches for Bluetooth hands-free<br />
phone function. You can also get<br />
leather seats and a sunroof. That's<br />
something previous generation<br />
owners didn't care about.<br />
Subaru even points out that<br />
thanks to compact layout of the<br />
double-wishbone rear suspension<br />
that helps minimize intrusion into<br />
the cargo area (or trunk as we<br />
mere mortals call it), the four-door<br />
version of the WRX STI can hold<br />
three professional size golf bags.<br />
What is this world coming to? Golf<br />
clubs and the STI mentioned in the<br />
same sentence outside of a police<br />
report about a road rage incident?<br />
Safety features abound in the<br />
STI. It has both stability and traction<br />
control that are operated<br />
through a multi-mode vehicle<br />
dynamics control that can entirely<br />
turn off both controls (but you<br />
don't dare with the SRTI). Other<br />
standard safety features include<br />
brake assist, 3-point seatbelts for<br />
all seating positions, advanced<br />

As the gauges demonstrated, like any good sports car it’s not always the speed you’re traveling, but the<br />
RPMs that matter, which explains the emphasis on the tachometer in the WRX STI.<br />
Shows Refinement<br />
The all-wheel drive muscle car, the Subaru Legacy WRX STI, has been refined and given more power for 2011 – and its previously removed wing has been returned<br />
to its rightful position.<br />
The interior of the WRX STI has become a little more spacious with a wider cabin and more legroom. It’s<br />
become a pleasant car to drive and be driven in while delivering gobs of power.<br />
frontal airbag system, side-curtain<br />
airbags, front seat side-impact<br />
airbags, front seatbelt pre-tensioners<br />
and force limiters and headrests<br />
for all three rear seat positions<br />
and safety pedal system.<br />
One point I need to emphasize is<br />
the WRX STI is a powerful vehicle.<br />
It’s not for the inexperienced driver,<br />
a class that includes some folks<br />
in their 40s – so I’m not just targeting<br />
teenagers. Invest in a performance<br />
driving school if you’re going<br />
to buy the STI. You’ll enjoy the car<br />
a lot more when you understand its<br />
full capabilities.<br />
Subaru has also introduced an<br />
improved WRX, the somewhat<br />
tamer sibling of the Impreza WRX<br />
STI. Somewhat tamer is a relative<br />
term because it features a a 265-hp<br />
turbocharged/intercooled 2.5-liter<br />
Boxer engine teamed with a 5-<br />
speed manual transmission that<br />
produces 244 lb.-ft. of peak torque<br />
at 4,000 rpm. Even at altitudes of<br />
12,000 feet at Independence Pass it<br />
delivered spirited performance.<br />
Acceleration came quickly and<br />
passing was accomplished with no<br />
turbo lag.<br />
The standard WRX is so powerful<br />
and so refined that it almost begs<br />
the question, why bother with the<br />
STI? If it's raw power with strong<br />
rally driving capabilities you crave<br />
and a wing that telegraphs your<br />
passions, the STI is going to be<br />
your beast. If you are sated by discrete<br />
power that's announced only<br />
by vehicle badging - and you have<br />
no desire to throw your sedan<br />
through mud and gravel, the WRX<br />
is going to be your preference.<br />
