He said that mechanical
engineering is the oldest and

broadest branch, and noted
that as an undergraduate he
still had to study the other three
branches.
The real world
As a practical matter, he said
that mechanical engineers are
needed everywhere in industry.
His senior project is taking up
a lot of his time, he said.
But if you nish it you have
a real impact on the world.
He said the course work is
difcult, not impossible.
If someone has the interest,
dedication, focus and passion
for the work, then it can be
done.
Besides, he said wryly, I
happen to like doing work on
weekends.
He said he was looking for-
ward to the job at Pratt and Whit-
ney because the entry level
salary is generous, and because
he will have weekends off.
He offered a caveat: Never
go into anything just for the
money. It has a way of not work-
ing out.
Dont delay college plans
Elserafy urged the group not
to put off college plans. (His
brother, a freshman, was in the

Being dramatic
Though it didnt reach ood stage this week, the Great Falls in Falls Village and Salisbury
was racing at a fast pace with high water levels. This photo was taken on Sunday, April 13,
when the U.S. Geologic Survey said the water was at about 4.75 feet (down from 5.20 feet on
Monday, April 7).

FALLS VILLAGE Mo-
hamed Elserafy, valedictorian of
the class of 2010 at Housatonic
Valley Regional High School
(HVRHS), returned to talk about
his college career, mechanical
engineering and the value of
hard work.
Not to mention the ailerons
of the F4U-4 Corsair.
Elserafys talk (he gave the
same presentation twice) was
part of Science Day at HVRHS,
Friday, April 11.
He began by telling the high
school students that after he
graduates from the University
of Connecticut (UConn) this
spring, he will go to work for
Pratt and Whitney, the aerospace
manufacturer.
What is an engineer?
His major is in mechanical
engineering, which combines
math and science.
Mechanical engineers solve
real world problems, usually
through the development and
improvement of technology.
Any device you have, I guarantee
you an engineer was involved
somewhere.
Elserafy said he started his
UConn career at the Torrington
campus, to save money and to
stay closer to home. I wasnt one
of those people who want to get
out of here.
He took the required general
education courses and calculus.
His Advanced Placement cal-
culus credits from HVRHS did
not transfer and he had to take
it again.
He said that because of
his experience at HVRHS, he
was well-prepared for it, and
praised teacher Scott Fellows in
particular.
In his sophomore year, when
he was still thinking about be-
coming a math teacher, he got
interested in engineering, and
wound up designing an air-con-
ditioning system for cars.
That was the end of thinking
about being a teacher.
In his junior year, he studied
theoretical concepts and physical
design. He said he realized that
if it doesnt make sense theoreti-
cally it wont in real life.
Now, in his senior year, which
he described as the most hands-
on, he is working with other
students as a team, on a real-life
problem from a Connecticut
company.
Elserafy took a few minutes to
describe the four main branches
of engineering: chemical, civil,
electrical and mechanical.
He said there are subdivi-
sions within the four main dis-
ciplines for instance, design
and manufacturing within the
overall umbrella of mechanical
engineering.
Housy grad nds his way, with help of a WWII Corsair
Suddenly spring
W
inter still had us in
its icy grip when I
turned off the heat
at the beginning of April to
force the season. I went out
looking for salamanders in a
freezing rain and found a few.
I watched the snow
nally receding, to
reveal the tips of
wild leeks growing
through the ice.
If spring was just
around the corner,
it was coming in its
own good time.
And now, so swiftly it feels
as if someone had ipped a
switch, it is here. The grass
has ushed green seemingly
overnight, and bulbs that were
barely visible above the frozen
earth are now almost in ower.
Out in the woodlands, the
Dutchmens britches are al-
ready blooming, and trillium
unfurl their leaves.
Trees are now in bud and
each day the season advances
in marvelous, measurable
ways. We have thrown up the
sash and let the wind blow
through the house, and started
to take stock of the work that
awaits us to put the yard and
gardens in order. Bicycles and
baseballs have
repl aced the
winter boots
and shovels on
the porch.
The sap was
very sluggish
this year and
seldom ran hard
or for long.I n-
ished the sugar season with an
average haul, about a quart
of syrup from each of the
two buckets on the backyard
maple, but that was only pos-
sible because the sugar count
was high. Now I am thinking
like a forager, watching the

With just three weeks to go in
this years legislative session, as
of the Northwest Hills Council
of Governments (COG) April 10
meeting, members got an update
on priority issues for this part of
the state.
COG is a regional planning
agency made up of the first
selectmen and a mayor from 20
area towns.
Betsy Gara, executive director
of the Council of Small Towns
(COST), ran through a list of
proposed bills that are of particu-
lar interest here. Much of what
has not been put on House and
Senate calendars by now will not
make it through this session. But
Hoping that these bills wont be voted in this session
that is a considered a good thing,
for the most part.
Many COG members were
hearing for the rst time about
proposed Senate Bill 405, which
would repeal an existing law so
that planning and zoning com-
missions would not be allowed
to hold public hearings for sub-
division applications that meet
zoning requirements, and would
be mandated to approve them
without other considerations.
Currently, the public may
comment but does not vote on
applications.
It is raising concerns about
public participation rights and
constitutionality. As discussed at
the COG meeting, other things
also factor in, and the bill would
not allow zoning commissions to
hold subdivision applications up
against a towns plan of conser-
vation and development, water
quality standards and other
environmental factors and the
option to set aside 15 percent of
land for conservation.
Gara said COST has opposed
the bill. She believes it will go next
to the environmental committee.
COG members voted unani-
mously to oppose the bill.
Trimming trees
Tree trimming is a priority
issue raised by Cornwall First
Selectman Gordon Ridgway.
After recent major storms
that caused massive and lengthy
The fghter planes ailerons have more than 100
custom parts. Elserafy creates models of them with a
CAD program, using the original technical drawings.
Legislation is proposed
to go back to the
old ways of letting
trees just fall down in
storms, Cornwall First
Selectman Gordon
Ridgway said.

Spring is truly here, according to area amphibians such as this
yellow-spotted salamander. The salamanders have thawed out
and are on the move on roads, in search of vernal pools. Once
eggs have been deposited and fertilized, these critters will
return to their usual underground habitats. If youre going
to see one, its this month. This fellow was discovered hiding
under damp leaves in an area ower garden. When nudged, it
didnt move. When ipped over, it didnt move. When covered
over and left on its own for a half hour, it disappeared.

SALISBURY Salisbury
First Selectman Curtis Rand
spent much of Friday, April 11,
meeting with engineers and of-
cials of the state Department
of Transportation (DOT) in
Newington on the subject of the
Amesville bridge, which links
Falls Village and Salisbury.
The bottom line is that replac-
ing the bridge probably wont
happen until next spring.
Rand said Monday, April 14,
that he had been hoping to get
the bridge built this year.
But the regulatory process
which involves both the state
and federal government and
numerous agencies moves at
its own pace.
The one-lane truss bridge was
closed in April 2012. It crosses
the Housatonic River between
the Amesville section of Salis-
bury and Falls Village. (In Falls
Village, it is known as the Water
Street bridge.)
The two towns are working
together to replace the bridge,
with Salisbury in the lead role.
Under the federal-local
bridge program, the federal
government pays 80 percent
and the towns 20 percent of the
cost. The 20 percent is divided
between the towns according to
a formula based on the grand
list of taxable property in each
town.
This means paperwork.
I feel like Im being acro-
nym-ed to death, said Rand.
The process will move for-
ward like this:
Later this month, WMC
Consulting Engineers will have
preliminary plans ready. Noth-
ing can go forward, however,
until the PSE (Plans, Specica-
tions and Estimates) has been
fully vetted. WMC will submit
those ndings by April 25.
The DOTs deadline for re-
view is May 23. Rand said at that
point the plans are 90 percent
complete.
But the bridge cannot be bid
out until the FMP (Flood Man-
agement Plan) is complete.
Thats the bad news,
Rand said. That can take six
months.
Ultimately, several agencies
will review the plan the
state Department of Energy
and Environmental Protection,
the Army Corps of Engineers,
the Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission, the Natural Di-
versity Data Base.
In the best-case scenario,
the regulatory hurdles will be
cleared this fall, the bridge can be
constructed next winter, the old
bridge demolished at some point
when the hiking season is over,
and a new bridge put in, possibly
over the winter of 2014-15, more
likely in the spring of 2015.
Rand said the bridge will be
bid on in 2014, however.
The reason for all the red
tape?
We dont want to send it to
the feds until the state has taken
one last look.
Rand had one nal bit of
good news.
There are no bog tur-
tles swimming around by the
bridge.
Rivers of red tape run beneath
the (still closed) Amesville bridge
Parents seek guidance
on children and the Web
LAKEVILLE A group of
10 parents met with Salisbury
Central School Principal Lisa
Carter and counselor Donna
Begley on Thursday, April 10,
to discuss the use of social
media by children and what,
if anything, parents and the
school should do about it.
Carter opened the infor-
mal meeting (which included
pizza and salad) by observing
that students are increasingly
aware of and curious about
social media such as Twitter
or Facebook. Some are using
social media.
What are the boundar-
ies? What are parents doing?
asked Carter.
She said there has not been a
terrible event that prompted
the meeting. Any disciplinary
measures taken at SCS that
involve social media have been
within the norm of overall
behavior.
Carter said she observed
younger children using Insta-
gram and was wondering how
parents manage that use.
One woman said she thinks
it is important for parents
to communicate with each
other about social media if
for no other reason than to
demonstrate that parents are
not alone.
One suggestion that came
out of the meeting was instruc-
tion in Internet etiquette for
children and guidelines for
parents. One woman said she
demands full access to her chil-
drens social media accounts,
and instructs them that they
shouldnt post anything they
wouldnt say in front of the
entire school or in church.
One man said he was
concerned about the effect of
devices on childrens social de-
velopment. Kids dont make
eye contact.
Parents also expressed con-
cerns about safety and posting
personal information online.
So we need proactive
education, said Carter.
Carter asked the group what
they were doing at home. One
woman said her son knows she
is talking to his teachers and to
the principal.
She added it was not always
easy to set rules to balance
the need to keep up with tech-
nology with safety.
Begley said she was inter-
ested in hearing how parents
restrict or monitor Internet
activity by their children.
One woman said she regu-
larly reviews logs and history
and looks at everything on her
childs Instagram account.
Begley said that in her
middle school classes she covers
net etiquette and cyberbully-
ing, but noted that kids are re-
luctant to report inappropriate
things because they are afraid
their parents will take away the
computer.
One woman described, in
general terms, a situation that
developed between her child
and others over what started
out as a joke on a social me-
dia site. It quickly got out of
hand.
She said her bottom line
was she needed to know more
about how to manage online
activity.
Carter said as educators
and parents, Were in catch-
up mode.
The group agreed to meet
again at least once before the
school year ends, possibly with
a guest speaker to talk about
online security.
The meeting will be an-
nounced in the school newslet-
ter and posted on the website.

Three minutes of utter joy at egg hunt
SHARON The Sharon Day
Care Center held its annual Eas-
ter egg hunt on Saturday, April
12, on the grounds of Sharon
Center School. The hunt was
open to residents of the town
as well as anyone from the sur-
rounding area.
Children gathered on the
basketball court, where they were
given time to greet and take pic-
tures with the Easter Bunny. They
were then split into three age
groups (4 and under, 5 through
7 and 8 through 10) and sent to
their respective elds.
After the Easter Bunny count-
ed down, children raced around
collecting colorful plastic eggs in
their baskets. The hunt lasted a
total of 3 minutes as the young-
sters raced around snatching up
eggs at a high rate of speed. Af-
terward, each child emptied the
eggs and then turned the empty
egg shells back in to receive a
gift basket that contained more
candy and other goodies.
This event is strictly for the
kids, said day care board mem-
ber Helene Minton. Its such
a joy to see the excitement on
their faces before and after the
hunt. The day care is a part of
the community and its a chance
for us to give back to that com-
munity.
The big annual fundraiser for
the center is the Sharon Classic
Road Race, to be held this year
on Saturday, May 3. Registration
begins at 8:45 a.m. for a childrens
race and at 9 a.m. for the adult

SHARON The Board of
Selectmen (BOS) held their bi-
monthly meeting on Tuesday,
April 8, to discuss a variety of
requests and approvals that had
been submitted to them.
The hottest topics included
the selection of a new Region
One Board of Education repre-
sentative and further discussion
of the 2014 state Small Town
Economic Assistance Program
(STEAP) grant applications as
well as a request from the Park
and Recreation Committee
for an additional allocation of
funds for recreation commission
equipment and repairs from the
current municipal budget.
A date was scheduled for a
special town meeting to elect
a town representative to the
Region One board. Previously,
the position was held by Marilyn
Yerks, who was elected in No-
vember 2013 but who resigned
this year in March (her term
would have ended in November
2015).
The meeting will be held
on Friday, May 2, at 7 p.m. at
Town Hall.
At the March 26 meeting, the
selectmen had received a request
from a local congregation of
Jehovahs Witnesses for approval
to set up an informational stand
on the town Green. The stand
would be manned by Jehovahs
Witness members and would
provide information to inter-
ested parties who walk up and
engage them in discussion.
The request made it clear
that members manning the
stand would not engage anyone
unless the members were rst
engaged by the person or persons
themselves.
However, the request was
vague on details, so the select-
men decided to request more
information from the group. As
of the April 8 meeting, no further
information was received so the
request was suspended until that
information is provided.
The board members unani-
mously approved two projects
to be submitted for STEAP
grants.
One is a $400,000 request to
build a eldhouse at Veterans
Field that would have restrooms
and a multipurpose center
that town residents can use
for gatherings and recreational
programs and activities.
The other is a $100,000 re-
quest to expand and refurbish
the parking lot behind Town
Hall. The selectmen also includ-
ed plans to improve pedestrian
and driver safety around the
entrances and exits to the park-
ing lot. Currently, it is hard for
drivers to see people walking in
the lot and front when pulling
in and out.
The selectmen also voted
unanimously to submit a request
to the Board of Finance (BOF)
from the Park and Recreation
Committee for an additional
allocation of roughly $17,000
for new equipment and general
maintenance and repairs. The
BOF will review the request at
its regular meeting at the end
of April.
Town meeting to decide
Region One rep is May 2
By Emily Soell
SHARON If you are unfa-
miliar with the name Jeff Joyce
... if you dont know his work,
his experience, his reputation,
(I confess I did not) ... all you
need do is to step into the old
farmhouse that he revived and
renovated for his purposes as
an artist yes but also for
warmth, welcome, livability and
most of all, prodigious and very
personal style.
Ask about the massive paint-
ing that seduces from the stair
landing. Yes, its his. The im-
pressive, possibly 12-foot-long
table that dominates the dining
room? (Estate sale.) Terrace
chairs repurposed for the same
room? (Yard sale.) A fascinating
collection of old pitchers on a
sideboard? (Swap Shop at the
transfer station.)
The fact is, Jeff Joyce has an
exceptional eye for his house,
in his art.
Its an eye for beauty. Plus a
reverence for tradition, a devo-
tion to simplicity and an uncanny
ability to capture a mood and
a moment. Which is why the
Hotchkiss Library of Sharon is
presenting his work, which will
be on exhibit through May 29.
Working in watercol or,
gouache and pastel, as well as
small oil studies, Joyce explores
moonlight, sky, surf, cloud and
rock in an homage to the
Nordic pastoral traditional of
painting. The small scale of the
works overtly refers to 19th-
century paysages intimes the
landscape as a private world.
Much of the work is from what
Joyce refers to as the Scottish
Sketchbook, but other, related
paintings reect the coast of
Maine and Nantucket Island.
The images are spare, distilled
to an essence. Joyce is preoccu-
pied with indeed a master of
the vicissitudes of light and
atmosphere more than with the
details of topography. Yet in spite
of or more likely because of
this simplicity, the viewer
is captivated and drawn inside
not so much the specic place
as its sense, tone, spirit.
Joyce has had numerous solo
exhibitions nationwide, as well as
having work included in group
exhibitions organized by the
Aldrich Museum, the Whitney
Museum , the Museum of Mod-
ern Art, the Carnegie Museum
and the Indianapolis Museum of
Art. His work is in many private
and public collections.

Strings attached at PTO performance

By Sam Rathbun
SHARON In the fall of
1777, Gen. John Burgoyne and
roughly 5,895 British and Ger-
man soldiers surrendered to
American troops following the
Battle of Saratoga.
The battle, which many
historians credit as the turning
point of the war, had seen Bur-
goyne lose nearly 86 percent of
the forces that had entered the
country through Canada earlier
that summer.
According to local amateur
historian and re-enactor Tim
Abbott, the surrender of the
troops came under the Articles
of Convention, which would
have allowed the soldiers to be
repatriated back to Europe with
the stipulation that they could
not serve again for the remainder
of the war.
The troops were marched by
American forces from Saratoga
across South Berkshire County,
Mass., to Boston, where they
sat, waiting to be returned to
Europe.
British ofcers were repa-
triated; Burgoyne returned to
England.
However, the American Con-
gress decided not to ratify the
agreement for regular soldiers.
King George refused to recognize
the article because it legitimized
the American Congress.
Also, there was nothing to pre-
vent the soldiers from returning
to Europe, which would free up
other soldiers to take their place
in the colonies. So the American
Congress also refused to ratify the
Articles of Convention.
The prisoners were instead
viewed as prisoners of war, who
would not be allowed to return
home.
Boston was seen as an unsafe
holding place for the prisoners. It
was close to the Atlantic Ocean,
making it relatively easy for the
British Army to rescue them. So
the soldiers were sent south to
Charlottesville, Va., a 770-mile
march from Boston.
The soldier prisoners to
this day most often identied
as Hessians, though in fact they
were almost all Brunswickers
were split into six or seven groups
and marched by local militia west
and then south. In Connecticut,
they entered around Eneld and
were marched west to Sharon,
where the New York militia was
scheduled to meet them and
escort them into New York state
and then down to Virginia.
But the New York militia
never showed up. So Gen. George
Washington ordered Gen. An-
thony Wayne and 500 troops
from Pennsylvania to march to
Sharon and get the prisoners.
The arrival of Wayne and his
troops took several days, so the
approximately 5,000 troops had
to stay in Sharon for a while. A
A bit of Sharons own Revolutionary War history
ball was held by the German of-
cers in the group, in Salisbury,
during their stay.
The eld where the prison-
ers camped is located behind
the Episcopal Church, which is
visible from the fourth tee box
of the golf course at the Sharon
Country Club.

CORNWALL Will some
unusual publicity lead to a sale
of Cornwalls castle?
Hidden Valley Estate was fea-
tured this month on the Yahoo
Homes of the Week website. It
was part of a showcase of castles
for sale in the U. S. to celebrate
the fourth season of the HBO
series Game of Thrones.
They are described on the
Zillow-powered site as spec-
tacular.
Cornwalls castle is the only
one listed without a street ad-
dress. It has been offered by
Sothebys International since last
fall, attracting some initial inter-
est. The 17-room stone mansion
remains listed for $8.85 million,
its appraised value.
Listing agent Ira Goldspiel
said the market is doing well
compared to previous years.
While he said he has to protect
client condentiality, the rms
listings have recently produced
several significant high-end
buyers, with deals in the works.
Its anticipated to be a continu-
ing trend.
Yahoo calls Cornwalls castle
a storybook structure.
It keeps company with listings
that range from ruins of a castle

CORNWALL Taxpay-
ers will gather Friday, April
25, at 7:30 p.m. at Cornwall
Consolidated School for a
public hearing on the proposed
2014-15 budget.
Spending plans include the
town operating budget and
expenditures for Cornwall
Consolidated School. The s-
cal year begins July 1.
The selectmen are propos-
ing to spend $1,785,490. Thats
$90,057 or 5.31 percent more
than the current year.
The school board has a
proposal for $4,157,232, for
a $117,659 or 2.91 percent
increase.
Health insurance premiums
are the major impacts on both.
Extensive research has gone
into nding a better rate, with-
out success. The issue is that
the Region One consortium
had an unusually high number
of claims, with two very large
individual claims.
Next years plan for capital
projects includes funding for
a highway truck and a re
truck, school and town build-
ing projects, some bridge and
culvert work and $250,000 in
road work. It totals $520,000.
But $147,000 remains from a
reimbursement for the Great
Hill/Great Hollow Road proj-
ect. That leaves $377,000 to
fund.
For this year, $230,000 was
used in reimbursements.
For its share of the Region
One School District budget,
Cornwall will pay $41,302 less
than this year, per the latest
proposal. A referendum to
consider that budget is May 6,
noon to 8 p.m. Vote at Town
Hall.
The Board of Finance is
scheduled to meet Wednesday,
April 23, at Cornwall Consoli-
dated School at 7:30 p.m. The
main agenda item is a look at
expected revenues to offset
spending.
They meet again May 14,
when a budget proposal will be
nalized to go to a town meet-
ing vote May 16. The nance
board will meet immediately
after the town meeting to set
a mill rate for the next scal
year.

CORNWALL The Board
of Selectmen addressed another
busy agenda at their meeting
April 1. It included a decision
to take on the cost of preventive
measures at a dam on private
property that is in danger of
collapsing.
In what may be an unprec-
edented approach, the board
used paper ballots to prioritize a
list of four projects for a STEAP
(state Small Town Economic As-
sistance Program) grant.
Newly adjusted numbers put
the total request at $337,125. The
state requires a ranking of project
proposals in the event that not
all can be funded.
Each of the three selectmen
assigned the projects a rank. It
seemed there might be ties to
break, but it was easily settled.
Topping the list with 11 ranking
points is another round of facade
grants with a requested amount
of $120,000. Funding would
be shared among property and
business owners for approved
exterior work.
The North Cornwall Meeting
House renovation project got
nine points for a $100,000 grant
toward a steeple repair project.
There were seven points
for the Calhoun Cemetery
Associations plan to repair fallen
gravestones and remove a dying
tree, estimated at $57,125.
A solar-powered recycling
shed for the Cornwall Transfer
Station got three points and
will get $60,000 if funding is
approved.
A request was received from
Emergency Management Direc-
tor Nevton Dunn that he switch
roles with newly appointed assis-
tant Terry Burke as a transition
before Dunn moves away from
the area.
Ridgway said Dunn needs to
sell his house rst, which could
happen soon (or it might not).
He will remain active until then,
but it was decided Burke should
take the lead role in upcoming
training exercises. A decision will
be on the agenda of the April 22
meeting.
Burke is also planning a
Facebook page for emergency
and other town-related infor-
mation.
The question of whether or
not there is wireless Internet
(Wi-Fi) access in Town Hall was
resolved, and the matter of who
should have access was discussed
briey.
At the previous meeting,
Selectman Richard Bramley had
expressed his concerns about
the public using the access, and
was unpersuaded by Selectman
Heidi Kearns, who explained it
would give no one access to town
computers or email.
It was determined there are
three Wi-Fi networks available.
One is listed as public and is avail-
able in the main meeting room.
It is listed as CWL-Public, and
the password is Cornwall. It
should provide cell service for
anyone with a smartphone.
A motion was approved to
move $1,940 from the contin-
gency fund to pay for a premium
increase that would raise the
towns liability insurance from
$4 million to $10 million.
The board met in executive
session to discuss a potential con-
tract with AT&T for a cell tower
at the town gravel pit. Kearns
questioned the need to do so in
private. Ridgway agreed that the
discussion could be public, but
he was acceding to the advice of
the town attorney.
Well be talking proposed
numbers and looking at what
other towns are getting under
their leases, so its best to not
reveal any of those, he said.
The terms of the lease will be
ultimately considered at a town
meeting vote.

all it takes is a couple of warm
days and light winds for grass
that has not recovered from
winter to dry out.
Before trees leaf out, the suns
warmer rays reach the ground
with enough intensity to spon-
taneously ignite decaying debris
on the forest oor. Add human
carelessness and the danger

a resident had been burning
garbage, which had spread to be-
come a brush re in the woods.
The re was extinguished by 10
p.m. and police were not called

Brush res require that a

Third-grader Linnea Saxton showed off her Gym Box at the
KCS Invention Day on Wednesday, April 9.
By Sam Rathbun
KENT Kent Center School
(KCS) held its 22nd Invention
Fair on Wendesday, April 9, in
the school library.
All KCS students in first
through eighth grade were
given the chance to present the
inventions they created over the
previous several months.
Judges from the community
walked around and viewed the
inventions and then chose three
winners, who will go on and
present their inventions at the
Connecticut Invention Conven-
tion State Finals on Saturday,
May 3, at the University of
Connecticuts Storrs campus.
The winners were Aiden Vega,
Augusta Smith and Lindsay
Smith.
In all, 20 students presented
inventions they had created at
home ranging from animal feed-
ers to ashing stop signs.
Third-grader Aiden Cherni-
ske created The Obedient
Bookmark Leash, a bookmark
with a strap that wraps around
the front cover and prevents it
from falling out and losing the
readers last place.
Sometimes my bookmark
falls out when Im carrying
my library books, Aiden said
when asked how he thought of
the idea.
Fourth-grader Aiden Vega
invented the Willpower Box, a
wooden box attached to a cars
electrical system that makes an
annoying buzzing sound until
the driver places his or her cell
phone in the box and shuts
the top.
It is designed to prevent the
driver from giving in to the urge
to text or talk on the phone while
operating the vehicle. The box
contains a spring that shuts off
the buzzing noise when it is
weighted down by a phone.
The box even includes a slit
for a charging chord and allows
for Bluetooth use as well.
I always see people being
hurt from texting and driving
on the news, he said. The Will-
power Box can stop that.
First-grader Isabel Wilkins
presented the Bouncy Bouncer,
a bike seat with handlebars at-
tached to a spring that allows the
user to practice balancing on the
bike seat. Its also a fun bouncy
toy for kids to use, somewhat
like a pogo stick.
Second-grader Camr yn
Woodin unveiled the Toilet
Paper Protector, a bathroom
cabinet compete with a toilet
paper section in the top that
can be protected by a wooden
ap that is held in place with
a magnet.
This is the perfect device for
any cat-loving family: The ap
protects the paper from being
shredded by resident cats.
My cat can open drawers
and always rips apart the toilet
paper, Camryn said.
Whimsical and practical:
the KCS Invention Fair
Second-grader Camryn Woodin said her Toilet Paper Protector protects the paper from cats and their claws.

It would be more accurate to
say its the very visible piece of
year-round training because
what could be higher prole than
getting aerial trucks together for
ladder placement class?
That was the case last Sunday
when ladder teams from Great
Barrington, Mass., and Sharon
gathered at the Canaan Fire
Company rehouse.

that dont have that most expen-

Karen Bartomioli
By Karen Bartomioli
NORTH CANAAN An
application for a grant for con-
tinuing work at the learning
center at the Beckley Furnace
site was approved by the Board
of Selectmen April 7.
The Friends of Beckley Fur-
nace is seeking $128,000 in state
STEAP (Small Town Economic
Assistance Program) funding for
systems updates, interior wall
restoration, exterior siding and
a new outside stairway at the for-
mer paymasters building at the
historic monument site. The goal
is to preserve the building, restore
the vault to a historically accurate
appearance and maximize it as
an educational resource.
It has been about two de-
cades since many of the same
members of the Friends group
launched a preservation effort
at the remains of the Beckley
Blast Furnace along Lower Road.
During the Great Iron Age here,
when everything from nails to
train wheels and cannons were
produced, Beckley was one of a
string of furnaces melting ore
from mined rock. There were
three along Lower Road alone,
harnessing the power of the
Blackberry River.
The Beckley chimney was in
the best shape, but crumbling
fast. The effort meant not only
raising about a quarter of a mil-
lion dollars, but also convincing
the state to approve the work.
About 70 years ago, after
the furnace was shut down, the
Department of Environmental
Protection (now the Department
of Energy and Environmental
Protection) bought the prop-
erty, but failed to do anything
PHOTOBY KARENBARTOMIOLI
The Friends of the Beckley Furnace, with the town, are applying for a state grant for further
restoration work at the historic site.
Past could come alive at Beckley
to preserve it.
What it has become
In 1996, the preservation
was completed under the lo-
cal groups guidance, and the
furnace was capped to prevent
damaging water infiltration.
But the Friends were far from
done.
The work at the chimney in-
cluded an archaeological dig, and
efforts to uncover the past have
continued between the furnace
and the dam, where structures
carried the water-powered blast
of air to fan the furnace res.
Informational signs now explain
fascinating relics restored and
displayed around what has be-
come a beautiful park for public
enjoyment.
In 2010, more than a million
dollars was allocated by the state
to restore the dam, now called
the Industrial Monument Dam,
and two turbines from the blast
assembly were unearthed and
restored.
Under a master plan, and as
funds and volunteer time permit,
the former ofce building is be-
ing converted to an educational
center. That includes restoring
the walls of the paymasters vault
and undoing work that converted
the building into a private resi-
dence decades ago.
There is a wealth of docu-
ments, photographs and other
artifacts, some of which are on
display at the ofce building.
What was most recently a kitchen
was converted to a classroom and
theater. A historically accurate
safe was moved into the vault (the
original appears to have been
lost forever). The living room
became an exhibit space and a
bedroom an ofce. A restroom
was restored and included
the installation of a compost-
ing toilet.
The study center has hosted
groups from all over the world,
including China, Egypt, Israel,
South Africa, Sweden and In-
dia.
What it could become
A new heating and air con-
ditioning system would keep it
open year-round, and make it
unnecessary for materials to be
moved to winter storage.
An electrical upgrade would
allow for code compliance and
more than two outlets in a room,
and for track and other lighting
that is desperately needed. It
would support a more effective
use of audio-visual equipment
for programs.
In the vault, the masonry walls
were weakened by the earlier
removal of a layer of bricks on
the inside and by windows that
were cut out to turn it into a
bedroom. Some bricks are now
missing. It is known that the vault
originally had plastered walls, so
a historic restoration will not
require nding particular bricks.
The space is currently used as a
photo gallery.
The grant application notes
there is no asbestos in the build-
ing.
Outside, electrical work would
include installing outlets for
maintenance work on the site.
An exterior staircase, fash-
ioned long ago from materials
found on site, is the only access
to the basement. It is unsafe
and will need to be replaced so
that the HVAC system can be
serviced.
Stucco siding is in rough
shape and is beginning to sepa-
rate from the underlying wall,
allowing water to inltrate.
Siding is the most costly
part of the project, estimated at
$50,000. The electrical upgrade is
estimated at $27,300, the HVAC
system at $22,800, vault walls
at $8,500 and the new stairs at
$4,000. Waste management is
budgeted for $3,400. A 12 per-
cent contingency was added to
the request.
The application notes that
this project cannot be done in
phases, and will not be started
until funding for all work is in
place.

NORTH CANAAN There
is still a well believe it when
we see it attitude over plans to
upgrade the main line railroad
crossing in the center of town.
The plan has literally been on
the drawing board for more than
20 years.
Housatonic Railroad Com-
pany (HRC) owner John Hanlon
came to the Board of Selectmens
meeting April 7 with blueprints
he had received a couple of days
prior. He, too, is skeptical, but
said the project is scheduled for
a design review May 6 and he was
told it is on track to be completed
this summer. His crew will do the
work, while drainage and paving
will be done by contractors.
Drainage and safety are big
issues to be addressed there.
Its a tight spot, with driveways,
sidewalks and businesses all
within close proximity. A switch
to move the train onto a spur sits
very close to Main Street/Route
44, and cannot be relocated. The
spur curves around in front of
the north side of Canaan Union
Station (the depot). It crosses
Route 44 a short distance from
the main crossing.
The project has languished
while the state DOTRail agency
attempted to nd an affordable
way to deal with a crossing that
is inundated with runoff water. It
is located at the lowest elevation
in that area.
Why its so complicated
An initial plan called for tying
in drainage at the two crossings.
But one of the same sources of
runoff, a granite ledge in be-
tween, would have to be blasted
out, negating any cost savings.
The state has had (for years
now) a plan to install drain
lines that would tie into the state
highway garage just south of the
depot. That system drains into
the Blackberry River.
Good drainage is key, accord-
ing to Hanlon, who said that after
a rainstorm mud can be seen
pumping up through the rails.
He explained that railroad
tracks are designed for vertical
load. When ground and storm
water ows at it from the side,
it creates pressure that can move
and overly stress the rails. He said
that is what likely caused a crack
in the rail there that caused a
derailment in May 2011.
HRC, which leases the Con-
necticut portion of the Berkshire
Line from the state, replaced the
track within the road after that
determination. But it was only a
temporary x.
The answer includes raising
the tracks at the main crossing
10 to 12 inches. The road on
either side will be re-engineered
to pitch downward from the
tracks before rising again. That
PHOTOBY KARENBARTOMIOLI
The state appears to be mov-
ing ahead with plans for long-
awaited track upgrades and
repairs, in partnership with
the town and Housatonic
Railroad.
After 20 years, RR plan
could be on a fast track
will slow runoff. A similar ap-
proach is planned for the Route
44 spur crossing.
Gates and warning lights will
be installed on the main line.
HRC is working on a plan to deal
with sidewalks. The one on the
south side of the crossing is an
issue with two tracks. Included
in the design will be pedestrian
gates.
Cost estimates were not avail-
able last week, but last September
what appears to be essentially
the same project was estimated
at $2.2 million.
What may have put the proj-
ect back on the fast track is the
impending completion of the
depot rebuilding and renovation.
An agreement needed over a spur
crossing on that property has
been the subject of rather con-
tentious negotiations for about
a year between the town, state
and HRC and has been holding
up the nal phase.
Hanlon said if that project,
which HRC is also charged with
doing, can be accomplished at the
same time, it will mean consid-
erable savings. The higher road
grade crossing elevation will not
be an issue where the spur runs in
front of the depot. He explained
the land actually rises now from
that low spot in the road. The rail
bed will be only an inch or two
higher by the time it reaches the
middle of the depot parking lot.
That difference will be graded in
with new paving.
Cant cross with RR Days
The selectmens meeting
turned into an opportunity to
hash out the issues. Hanlon said
there is a check list of things the
town and state need to do so the
process can move forward. Board
members said their concern was
that the cost of the spur crossing
does not increase, because it is
coming out of funding for the
depot work. The last estimate for
the crossing was $80,000.
Another concern for the se-
lectmen is the timing. Route 44
will have to be closed during the
construction. Hanlon said it will
take two to three days per cross-
ing. Drainage may take longer
but may not require a detour.
Railroad Days is scheduled to
take place over three weekends in
July, and it is vital the road not be
closed, board members said.
Some sort of public meeting
is expected to be held in mid
May.

FALLS VILLAGE The
Board of Selectmen voted
unanimously in favor of the
Main Street sidewalk project at
their regular monthly meeting
Monday, April 14.
During public comment, El-
lery Woods Sinclair appealed
to the selectmen either to reject
the plan outright, or at least
delay voting on it.
Sinclair read a letter in which
he called the sidewalk plan an
unimaginative approach to
meeting some of the downtown
concerns.
He said the plans 5-foot-
wide sidewalk running from the
Green up to the Lee H. Kellogg
School is far out of scale.
And he said he believed the
plan, with its plantings, cross-
walks and light xtures, is a
way of destroying what we most
value about our village: its un-
typical, somewhat idiosyncratic
distinction.
First Selectman Pat Mechare
said the sidewalk project had
been the subject of several town
meetings along the way; that a
majority of the members of the
committee in charge of design
was comprised of Main Street
property owners; and that the
only dissension that occurred
during the committees work
was, in fact, over the width of
the sidewalks.
Selectman Chuck Lewis said
that the sidewalk width was, to
him, ultimately an issue of ac-
cessibility and public safety.
Lewis moved to accept the
design as presented, Selectman
Greg Marlowe seconded, and
the vote was unanimous.
Sinclair was also wearing his
Housatonic River Commission
(HRC) cap Monday night. Sev-
eral months ago, Sinclair and
Karl Munson, the towns repre-
sentatives on the HRC, broached
the subject of applying for Wild
and Scenic River status. The
selectmen had some questions,
and the two HRC members were
to get the answers.
Sinclair said he and Munson
had decided to wait until the
commission holds a public
information meeting. There is
no date scheduled.
Were moving very slowly
and cautiously, he said.
The selectmen agreed to
consider offers for a half-acre
parcel of land on Page Road. The
parcel became town property
after non-payment of taxes at
least 20 years ago, Mechare said.
The half-acre parcel is consid-
ered a building lot, even though
it is on the edges of Robbins
Swamp. Mechare said there is a
foundation on the lot where a
house once stood.
Mechare said the land was
appraised at about $69,000 and
assessed at $48,000.

FALLS VILLAGE The
Region One Board of Educa-
tion considered but did not
act upon a request from three
students to do a survey on sex
for a sociology class during
the April 7 regular monthly
board meeting at Housatonic
Valley Regional High School
(HVRHS).
Three students from
John Lizzis sociology class
Christopher Vernali,
Christina Rogers and Hailey
Prindle-Nelson provided
the board with a revised ver-
sion of a survey about sexual
practices and attitudes. (The
board had an earlier version
in their packet of materi-
als.)
In a cover letter the stu-
dents said their survey has
been questioned while a
similar survey, about drug
and alcohol use, was ap-
proved.
The students also point
out that a survey conducted
by the Housatonic Youth
Service Bureau in 2011
indicated that students at
HVRHS are sexually active.
We believe that sexual
practices and safety are im-
portant topics to discuss in a
school setting, the students
wrote.
Acting Principal Ian St-
rever said that he was a little
hesitant about the survey,
because of its provocative
nature.
He said other surveys
conducted by students are
not so titillating.
He asked the board mem-
bers for input from their
towns.
Jennifer Wiegel of Salis-
bury (chairing the meeting
in the absence of Chairman
Andrea Downs of Falls Vil-
lage) asked the students what
the difference was between
their survey and the 2011
HYSB survey.
The answer was that the
latter had only a few ques-
tions about sexuality, where
the former is more detailed.
Rogers stressed that the
results are not for publica-
tion, and the surveys are
anonymous.
Weigel asked why the
students picked this subject.
Are you trying to push
parents buttons? This will
do it.
Rogers said the students
wanted to do something that
had not been done before,
and that the group consulted
with several teachers and
administrators before sub-
mitting their survey.
Weigel suggested, and
the board concurred, that
members take the survey
back to their towns and get
reactions. The matter will be
on the agenda for the May
meeting.
The survey asks for the
gender of the participant and
then asks for the number of
sexual partners, and the age
the participant considers ap-
propriate for the rst sexual
encounter. It asks if the per-
son has ever had a one-night
stand, if the person has had
sexual intercourse and how
often the participant has
sex. There are also questions
about unprotected sex, por-
nography and whether or not
parents have spoken to the
participant about sex.
The questions are yes/
no,except for the two about
number of partners and age
of rst experience, where
there is a blank space for
the answer.
Students seek OK for
survey on sex at HVRHS

FALLS VILLAGE The Da-
vid M. Hunt Library will hold a
reception for the painter Patty
Mullins, whose exhibit, Col-
lected Stories, presents a selec-
tion of the artists narrative and
landscape canvases. Wine and
hors doeuvres will be served.
The event will be held Saturday,
April 19, 5 to 7 p.m. and is free
and open to the public.
The show will remain on dis-
play through Saturday, May 17.
Mullins, a resident of Sharon,
is known for her evocative paint-
ings, the narrative elements of
which are a natural t for the
Queen Anne architecture of the
Hunt Library, which has, like the
paintings, numerous spaces to be
alone, quiet, and thoughtful.
Intimate landscapes are also
found in her canvases, par-
ticularly the ones inspired by
wetlands in Lakeville, Cornwall
and Sharon.
Mullins work is in the col-
lections of Melva Bucksbaum
and Raymond Learsy, Bianca
Jagger, Campbell Scott and Jamie
Wyeth. It can be previewed on

FALLS VILLAGE As part of
the special education preschool
child identification service,
Regional School District One
encourages parents of children
between the ages of 3 and 5 years,
especially those who might have
special educational needs, to
contact their towns elementary
school to make an appointment
for a brief screening.
The screening process will
also give the child an opportu-
nity to be eligible to participate
in the preschool program as a
tuition student.
Region One serves children
residing in the towns of Kent,
Cornwall, Sharon, Falls Village,
Salisbury and North Canaan.
The screening process will
take place throughout the school
year for each of the towns of
the region.
Parents who have concerns
about the development of their
child who is under the age of 3
should contact their physician
or the Region One Pupil Services
office for more information
about the Birth-to-3 referral
process. Health- and childcare
providers, nursery schools, day-
care centers, community/family
and social services providers
may also have contact with
children who might be eligible
for evaluation. Those who are
caring for a child or know of a
child who might benet from
such services, are asked to share
this information with the childs
parents.
This period of growth is par-
ticularly important for children
who might have developmental
delays or other potential learn-
ing difculties. Assessment may
examine the areas of motor
skills, hearing, vision, speech
and language, cognitive skills
and social skills.
Timely intervention in these
cases can dramatically inuence
future success in school.
If necessary, Region One
provides pre-school programs
and services for children who
are identied as having special
education needs.
For additional information
regarding early childhood
screening or services, contact
Martha Schwaikert, supervisor
of Special Education, at 860-

I
d always thought that Id
hate cooking for just myself,
that Id become one of those
people who eats ramen every
night.
In fact, Ive discovered that I
just love cooking for myself and
only myself. Im so much less
fussy than everyone else I cook
for (haha). Well, what that actu-
ally means is that Im cooking
exactly what I want to eat, exactly
the way I want to eat it. And thats
a wonderful thing.
There is the question of por-
tions (usually once you start to
cook, its easier and more efcient
to make a larger portion).
But Ive learned from the
example of several of my col-
leagues: Make extra food for
dinner and set aside a portion to
bring to work for lunch.
And some foods are actually
easier in a small portion. Mashed
potatoes, for example.
The one potential downside
to eating alone, if you are deter-
mined to always nd a downside,
is the possibility that you will
choke while eating and no one
will be there to help you. I know,
Im fun, right?
This idea crossed my mind
the other day when someone
in our ofce began to cough
uncontrollably while eating her
lunch. When shed regained her
breath, she said, I nd I choke
more now that Im older.
Its not just older people. We
all as a culture tend not to chew
our food thoroughly enough. We
eat fast. We are social eaters, so
we talk while we are eating.
And there are other down-
sides to under-mastication.
One is nutritional. A study
was released last summer at a
conference of the Institute of
Food Technologists that involved
deep studies of fecal matter
(somebody has to do it). They
found that when you dont chew
your food carefully, your body
just ejects those big pieces, in-
stead of absorbing the minerals
and nutrients and calories.
Another is digestive. People
who swallow larger bits of un-
PHOTOBY MARSDENEPWORTH
FOOD FOR
HEALTH
CYNTHIA HOCHSWENDER
derchewed food are more likely
to have an upset stomach after
a meal.
And then of course there is
the choking thing, for those of us
who are aging but also for young
children who havent completely
mastered the process of eating
meals without help.
Not all of us underchew be-
cause we are excited or squirmy.
For the elderly, there are other
challenges, including a decrease
in saliva, which you need to have
a lot of if you want to swallow
well.
I would have gured that the
logical way to counteract that
would be to drink more liquids
while dining, but the California
Department of Social Services
says that is not correct.
Water, in fact, is specically
not recommended as a beverage
for the elderly because (incred-
ibly) its too thin and older people
often choke on it.
Youre not supposed to drink
liquor while you eat, either (so
much for the idea that wine helps
you to digest your meal).
White bread and other baked
goods made from white our are
not recommended, because if
they get stuck on the way down
they can expand like a sponge if
you drink some water.
Eating too quickly and not
chewing thoroughly enough is
of course the main thing that all
websites warn about as a choking
hazard. Its hard to say exactly
how much you should chew in a
reality-based world. Those who
are really serious about this kind
of thing think you need to keep
on going until the food in your
mouth has turned to a liquid or
a paste. That makes me sigh with
sadness a little bit. It also makes
my teeth hurt thinking about it,
which brings up another impedi-
ment to proper mastication. Its
harder to chew well as you age
because youre more likely to
have aching or sensitive molars,
or even dentures.
The California Social Services
website also pointed out social
expectation as a challenge for
chewing. Older people (well,
actually all of us) need more time
to chew properly. Too often car-
givers rush them through their
meal. This happens at dinner
parties and family meals, too, it
seems to me.
There are many obvious ways
to avoid choking, such as not eat-
ing tough foods such as steak or
chicken with bones in it or sh
that has not been lleted.
But it also seems that if we
could all just slow down at the
dinner table, it would be a big
step toward making our meals
safer and more social. Eat
more slowly. Stop chewing when
you speak. Take smaller portions;
you can go back for seconds if
you still want more.
On the menu side of the is-
sue, a list of low-choke foods
suggested by California Social
Services includes lleted sh,
ground beef, soup, chocolate
(even if it gets stuck, it melts),
applesauce, pudding and gelatin
or lightly toasted whole-grain
bread with butter and jelly.
Thats all a little bland but
most of us are not at the point
yet where we need to heavily
restrict our diets. Try starting
with ground meat, and spice it
up by making a Greek moussaka.
There are a lot of steps here but
its basically a big casserole. You
might want to make it over the
course of a few days; for example,
one night grill some eggplant and
eat half over some pasta and save
half. Then boil some potatoes the
next night and set some aside.
The third night, go for the full
moussaka.
This is adapted from a recipe
found at www.food.com and
submitted by someone who calls
herself Rainberry Blues.
Moussaka
Adapted from www.food.com
by Rainberry Blues
1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 pound
ground lamb, 1 onion, chopped, 2
cloves of garlic, crushed, 1/4 cup
chopped fresh parsley, 1 tomato,
peeled and chopped, 1 table-
spoon tomato sauce, 1/4 cup of
beef stock, 1/2 teaspoon ground
nutmeg, salt and pepper, a half
cup of bread crumbs, 1 large egg-
plant and olive oil for marinating
and cooking it, 2 teaspoons of
fresh oregano, fresh lemon juice,
three large potatoes, boiled in
skins for 30 minutes,then peeled
and sliced, 7 teaspoons of butter, 7
teaspoons of our, 1 cup of whole
milk, more salt and pepper, 1 cup
of chopped mozzarella, 2 eggs,
lightly beaten.
My choice would be to make
two eggplants two days ahead
of time and make six potatoes
the day before. I would cut the
eggplant into cubes and toss it
in a bowl of olive oil and lemon
juice and chopped oregano and
salt and pepper.
Id let it sit for about 20
minutes so the cubes absorb the
marinade and then Id bake them
in a 325 degree oven until tender
(about 30 or 40 minutes). Then
Id eat half the eggplant with pasta
and set the other half aside in the
refrigerator.
The next night Id boil six
potatoes (Yukon Golds are nice).
Id add salt and pepper to the
water and maybe even a couple
whole garlic cloves. Id eat half
for dinner and set the other half
aside.
On the third night, I would
cook the ground lamb (you can
use beef, if you prefer, or mix
them together) in a skillet with
the onions and garlic and olive oil
(or some butter for extra avor).
Id cook them until brown. I
apologize for using this theoreti-
cal verb structure; Ill stop now.
Add the parsley, tomato,
tomato sauce, nutmeg, salt and
pepper and broth to the meat,
then cover it and let it simmer for
45 minutes. Remove from heat
and stir in the breadcrumbs.
Preheat your oven to 350
degrees.
Butter the bottom and sides
of a rectangular baking dish (Im
never sure how to describe the
sizes but youre making a pound
of meat and an eggplant if that
helps you calculate). To help
you in your choice: Youre going
to want to place this baking dish
inside another, larger dish to cre-
ate a bain marie.
Slice the potatoes and layer
them on the bottom. Spread the
ground meat on top of the pota-
toes. Add the eggplant on top.
Make a simple bechamel by
melting the butter in a saucepan.
Turn off the heat, add the our
and whisk it or stir it vigorously
with a wooden spoon so you dont
get lumps.
Turn the heat back on, not too
hot, and cook for about a minute
over low heat so the our cooks,
then add the milk, slowly, stirring
or whisking constantly so you
dont get lumps. Keep cooking
until it just gets thick but dont let
it boil. Turn off the heat and add
the cheese. Then add a few drops
of the egg, so it doesnt cook, then
add some of the hot liquid to the
eggs and continue alternating
until theyre all combined.
Pour the sauce over the egg-
plant and potatoes. Make a bain
marie by putting your baking dish
into a larger baking dish. Pour
water in until it comes to about
an inch below the top edge of the
smaller, lled baking dish.
Bake, uncovered, for an
hour.
Serve warm but not so hot that
you cant chew it comfortably.

Frequently Asked Questions: I have heard of Greek Orthodox and Russian Orthodox. Is that
Orthodox Christianity? Saying Russian Orthodox or Greek Orthodox is like saying Irish Catholic
or Italian Catholic, The Orthodox Christian Faith is the same throughout the world. Our services are in
English and are open to people of all backgrounds. What is Orthodox Christianity? Orthodox
Christianity traces its history in unbroken continuity, through the successive laying on of hands, all the way
back to the Apostles, and was founded by Christ on the day of Pentecost. Our services are based in scripture
and our faith is illuminated by over 2000 years of Christian experience and understanding. Do I need to be
an Orthodox Christian to attend? No.Come and See. John 1:46

LAKEVILLE Syra Bulgarin
Ginocchio, a longtime resident of
Lakeville, died on
March 21, 2014,
in Tucson, Ariz.,
her home for the
past 26 years. She
was the widow
of John Ginoc-
chio, with whom
she shared many
beautiful years
in their beloved
Connecticut. She
was 97.
She was born
in 1916 to Alex-
andra and Alex-
ander Soboleff
(whose military career started at
the St. Petersburg, Russia, Naval
Academy). When the Bolsheviks
won, the family moved to Esto-
nia, where Syra spent her happy
youth and attended Pallas Art
Academy. She married Nikolai
Bulgarin in 1938; they had two
daughters.
When the Nazis invaded
Estonia in 1941, her husband
was conscripted into the Soviet
Army; she never saw him again.
Germany had occupied all Baltic
countries.
In 1944, Syra escaped the
Communist takeover of Esto-
nia with her mother and two
small daughters, going by boat
to Danzig. When World War II
ended, she chose the protection
of UNRRA (United Nations
Relief Rehabilitation Act), which
ran numerous refugee camps in
the American zone. The family
remained in DP camps for ve
years.
They immigrated to the
United States in 1950 under the
sponsorship of many generous
people, including the citizens
of Salisbury. Some people may
remember their arrival and rst
American meal at the Ragamont
Inn.
She married
John Ginocchio
in 1957 and lived
in Lakeville for
38 years. Both she
and John worked
at Community
Service.
For 20 years
she was a restorer
of ne art at the
Fudal i Gal l ery
in Lakeville, but
foremost she was
an amazing artist,
expressing herself
in various media, from oil to
needlepoint. Many people in
this community had portraits
painted by her.
When she and John moved
to Arizona in 1988, her peaceful
New England landscapes gave
way to desert and mountain
views.
Syra will be remembered as a
brave and talented woman as she
adapted to each new opportunity
and challenge in her life.
She is survived by two daugh-
ters, Marina Mia Bulgarin Gay
of Tucson and Vassilissa Issi
Bulgarin de Marcken of Limal,
Belgium; six grandchildren;
and nine great-grandchildren.
Her grandson, Jay de Marcken,
moved to Lakeville from Bel-
gium. Syras life has been lovingly
recorded by her daughter, Mia;
the book Syras Odyssey is
available at the Scoville Library.
A gravesite service for family
and friends will be held Friday,
April 18, at noon in the Salis-
bury Cemetery. Her ashes will
be buried with Johns, next to
her mothers grave. He died in
2007.

SALISBURY Jeffrey P.
Walker, 92, a 68-year resident
of Salisbury, died peacefully
at Noble Horizons on April 8,
2014. He is survived by his wife,
Doris.
A graduate of Pomfret School
and Yale, Mr. Walker led a life of
service in many ways. He served
as an ofcer in the Navy during
World War II, after which he
came to Salisbury to teach and
coach crew at Salisbury School,
beginning a 30-year career at
the school during which he
also served as business manager
and trustee, including a term as
president.
His service to the town of
Salisbury included 17 years as
a member of the Board of Fi-
nance and 31 years as a director
of Salisbury Bank and Trust Co.
He was president or secretary
of the Marketplace of Salisbury
for 22 years. Mr. Walker was also
very active at St. Johns Church,
including years of service on
the vestry.
Mr. Walker was a man of
many interests and abilities in
particular, woodworking and
birding the latter of which
took him and his wife, Doris,
to all corners of the globe in
search of new and interesting
sightings.
Mr. Walkers contributions
to those around him occurred
in many ways beyond serving
on boards and committees. He
cared about and respected people
in general, and is remembered
throughout the community
for innumerable acts of kind-
ness, large and small. A man of
genuine humility and disarming
self-deprecating humor, he was
simultaneously driven by the
pursuit of excellence in every-
thing he did all the while set-
ting the standard for thoughtful
and considerate behavior toward
others. He was one of a kind and
he will be deeply missed by family
and friends alike.
In addition to his wife, he
is survived by three children,
Jeffrey Walker of Philadelphia,
Pa., Sandra Walker of Newark,
Vt., and Carolyn Butler of San
Francisco, Calif.; two grand-
daughters; four stepchildren;
eight grand-stepchildren; eight
great-grand-stepchildren; and
his rst wife, Leonie Brewer of
Salisbury.
The family is very, very grate-
ful to the skilled, compassionate
and dedicated staff at Noble Ho-
rizons, who were superb in their
support of Mr. Walker during the
last 18 months in particular.
A memorial service is sched-
uled for Wednesday, May 21, at
2 p.m. at St. Johns Church in
Salisbury. In lieu of owers, the

SPORTS
LAKEVILLE The Hotch-
kiss School varsity softball team
opened its season on Wednesday,
April 9, when they took on the
Williston Northampton School.
The Bearcats, however, did not
come out with the result they were
hoping for as they fell to Williston
by a nal score of 24-5.
The team is coming off a
disappointing 2-11 record from
a season ago, however they are
returning the majority of their
roster and will look to build
upon some of the successes from
last year.
Hotchkiss looked to be shaking
the rust off a little bit as elding
errors and passed balls plagued
them throughout the contest.
Williston was able to capitalize
on the Bearcat mistakes, scoring
the majority of their runs off the
miscues.
Up next for Hotchkiss are
games versus Kent, who they beat
21-6 last season, and Northeld
Mount Hermon, who they battled
close a season ago, losing 12-7.

FALLS VILLAGE The
Housatonic Valley Regional High
School girls varsity tennis team
started out their season on the
right foot, earning a victory in
their rst match of the season
on Wednesday, April 9, against
Wamogo by a score of 3-2.
The Mountaineers started the
match slowly, losing in doubles.
Wamogo struck rst when Me-
lissa Woodruff and Alex Esandrio
defeated Hope Morse and Marina
Matsudaira, 8-3, at number one
doubles.
Kimi Rux and Rebecca Gross-
man brought Housy back into the
match when they beat Hannah
Lettau and Julie Morris, 8-2, at
number three doubles. However,
Wamogo was able to secure the
doubles point when Alex Good-
win and Sam Dutka beat Lauren
Grayson and Gina DiGiacomo,
8-6, at number two doubles.
The Mountaineers entered
the singles portion of the match
needing to win three of the four
matches to earn the overall vic-
tory. Housy would do just that
as Laura Craft of Housy defeated
Sam Simmons, 8-6, at number
one singles; Gillian McGuire beat
Enxhi Marika, 8-2, at number
three singles; and Maia Stickles
defeated Alex Demiris, 8-5, at
number four singles.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Tough but timely
decisions at Region One
T
he Region One Board of Education isnt the only
organizational entity to have its health care insur-
ance increase this year. Things have changed with the
inception of the Affordable Care Act, of course, but part
of the equation is also the high cost of payments for some
expensive care within the group last year. That part of what
affects health insurance premiums has not changed, fair or
not. Between those costs, mandatory salary increases and
some other additional expenses, next years budget that will
be presented to voters on May 6 has increased over this years
by almost 5 percent.
One of the new Region One increases includes about
$75,000 for new laptops and Chromebooks for Housy stu-
dents to use in classes. It may seem extravagant to some to
replace around 100 obsolete computers in a year when other
costs have unavoidably increased as well. But when will the
year come where there are not some unavoidable operating
increases? They cant be used as an excuse to shortchange
the students. Rather, they should be planned for and then
dealt with as they arise.
The right point for turning over computers and all tech-
nology can be generally dened by those in leadership at the
school from the moment of purchase; that is when a timeline
for replacement should be created. But standards need to be
set and adhered to in order to keep up with technological
change and development.
In order to keep the high school viable, its important to
keep the facilities up-to-date, and the educational usefulness
of the aging computers at the school could not be compen-
sated for by individually less costly mini devices, as proposed
last year. Once these computers are replaced with the laptops
now, there can then be a careful evaluation of the need for
student iPad minis or other devices, but with an eye toward
the ongoing replacement costs for those going forward as
well, after such a program is put in place.
Each student should have every opportunity to take
advantage of their years of learning in high school, includ-
ing having access to technology that will prepare them to be
comfortable and capable of working at college or a job. Cut-
ting out the replacement computers or other student sup-
port costs would only delay the inevitable to the detriment
of those trying to get an education at HVRHS right now.
The current budget is a good compromise between
balancing costs that cannot be avoided and those that will
maintain a high level of education for HVRHS students.
That is to the credit of the new board, which has been open
and thoughtful in its consideration of expenses for the 2014-
15 school year.
This Region One budget should pass on the rst try.
100 years ago April 1914
LAKEVILLE A cablegram
was received last Saturday by
Mrs. James Martin, announcing
the death of her brother, Capt.
Thomas Penberthy Uren of Lel-
ant, England. Some of our older
people will remember Mr. Uren
who lived here for a short time
about forty years ago.
Abram Martin is installing
an underground gasoline tank
near the highway, for the con-
venience of motorists who wish
to replenish their supply without
loss of time.
LAKEVILLE Dr. H.E.
Bartle will be in Hartford at the
State Dental Convention from
April 21st to 24th.
Miss Margaret Garrity, 74, of
Walton Street, Lakeville, died at
the Sharon Hospital on Sunday
after an acute illness of a week
and a long period of failing
health. Born in Great Barrington,
Mass., on July 21, 1889, she was
the daughter of John and Ellen
Graney Garrity. One of the origi-
nal telephone operators to open
the local exchange in Lakeville in
1911, she became its chief opera-
tor, and after 40 years helped to
close it in 1951.
An underground coaxial cable
capable of transmitting 9,000
messages simultaneously will be
laid through Canaan, Salisbury
and Sharon in the near future
as part of a trans-continental
system running from Boston
through New York, Washington,
and to the west coast.
WARNING The Lakeville
Water Company warns its cus-
tomers that the water mains will
be ushed Tuesday April 21 start-
ing at 8 p.m. So get dinner early
and the dishes washed before you
run out of water that evening.
SHARON Someone with a
rather sick sense of humor tried
hard to hamper the efforts of the
Sharon Boy Scouts on their pa-
per drive last Sunday. Residents
had been asked by the Troop to
tie bundles of old newspapers,
and leave them near the road
or street, where trucks manned
by the Scouts would pick them
up. On Saturday, between dusk
and dawn, the person with the
perverted sense of humor started
up Route 4, and for a two-mile
stretch untied and scattered
hundreds of newspapers over the
countryside. It took the Scouts as
long to gather and clean up the
resulting debris as it took them to
collect the tied bundles from the
entire rest of the Sharon area.
It seems like the minute the
oil hit the water, we began to
see increases, said David Do-
linsky, President of SCASCO of
Torrington, one of the regions
largest gasoline wholesalers. Mr.
Dolinsky spoke last week about
the effects of the wreck of the
Exxon Valdez in Prince William
Sound, Alaska. Jacques Rivard,
an attendant at the Lakeville
Mobil station, said that prices
had risen roughly eight cents in
the past two weeks. Gas is now
$1.09 for regular and $1.32 for
super unleaded. Mr. Rivard did
not know how to account for
the increase.
SALISBURY In a coop-
erative effort between the town
and the Salisbury Association,
the old table stones will be reset
and repaired at the Old Burial
Ground behind Town Hall. The
association is still looking for
the missing Old Burial Ground
sign that was once attached to
the fence.
Taken from decades-old Lake-
ville Journals, these items contain
original spellings and phrases.
I write in response to the
Goodalls April 3 letter, The hor-
ric, predatory sher, to correct
some misconceptions about the
sher, a mammal native to our
northern forests.
To begin with, the fisher
averages about 8 pounds and
is therefore approximately 1/10
the size of a wolf and 1/15 the
size of a cougar. Still, shers are
formidable predators that can
tackle animals as large or larger
than themselves including rac-
coons and porcupines, although
as the Goodalls correctly point
out smaller mammals such as
squirrels, rabbits and mice form
the bulk of their diet.
And yes, being opportunistic,
shers do occasionally take do-
mestic cats and very small dogs.
But the evidence suggests these are
rare events. One recent study in
Massachusetts found no domestic
cat remains in more than 200
sher diet samples examined. An
earlier study in New Hampshire
found cat hair in only 1 of 1,000
sher stomachs examined.
One of the reasons that attacks
on domestic animals are rare is
that shers are generally deni-
zens of dense forests rather than
suburban landscapes. Thus, the
The horric, predatory sher reconsidered
sher (if, in fact, it was a sher)
spotted by the Goodalls is un-
likely to spend much time in their
yard. Fishers den in hollow trees,
downed logs, rocky crevices, and
abandoned burrows.
Nothing that I have read sug-
gests that they utilize barns and
other human structures to rear
their young. In contrast, rac-
coons, opossums, skunks, mice,
rats, squirrels, and porcupines
do use human structures as den
sites. Since all of these animals
are preyed upon by shers, sh-
ers are more apt to prevent barns
from being used by unwelcome
guests than to be an unwelcome
resident themselves.
Small mammals, especially
white-footed mice, are the domi-
nant transmitters of the lyme
disease bacterium to deer ticks,
which in turn infect humans
with lyme disease. Studies have
shown that where predators like
shers and foxes thrive, white-
footed mice are more likely to
be kept in check. So although
shers may pose a small risk to
small, domestic pets, they offer a
sizeable benet to human health
by preying on the animals that
infect deer ticks with the lyme
disease-causing bacterium.
In short, shers are integral
members of our northern for-
est ecosystems that are worthy
of our respect rather than our
exaggerated fears.

Last week I attended a meeting
at the Kent School on fracking
and the resulting hazardous
wastewater. As I suspected, the
pollutants in the wastewater are
not easily removed and can-
not be neutralized. Details on
exactly how this wastewater
would be safely processed prior
to storage are limited. Effective
government oversight, safe stor-
age standards and enforcement
are also lacking.
The two large states involved
in and beneting from the jobs,
business and revenues gener-
ated by fracking, can deal with
the waste storage and cleanup
requirements. Connecticut does
not need to bring their fracking
waste into our state for storage
and processing. Risking the en-
vironmental health of our small
state is unacceptable, particularly
when little is known of all the
fracking wastewater storage
and processing ramifications
and risks.
That Pennsylvania and New
York apparently are not enthu-
siastic to have the fracking waste
processed and stored where it
was created is a huge red ag.
Gov. Dannel Malloys advocacy
of this risk for the sake of bring-
ing a dangerous, unwanted and
unnecessary business with jobs
and tax revenues to Connecticut
might be laughable if not so
tragically ironic.
He and the Democrat-run
General Assembly have driven
away good businesses and de-
stroyed good jobs wholesale
for years. Now he wants to risk
Connecticuts health and safety
trying to ll the business and
jobs void with the processing and
storage of polluted wastewater
products from other states.
If Senate Bill 237 banning
fracking waste in Connecticut
does not pass the General Assem-
bly this week and/or Gov. Malloy
does not sign it, I encourage
people to continue voicing their
opposition to bringing fracking
wastewater into Connecticut.
Without such a legislative ban,
the possibility remains for the
fracking waste storage business
to come here, jeopardizing the
public and environmental health
of Connecticut.

Dont believe it
No matter how Ms. Maltby
wants to spin it (letter to editor,
April 10), the Bernardoni code
of ethics languished for years in
a desk drawer at Town Hall. It
was never enacted. Republican
Lauretano ran on the campaign
promise to bring an enacted
code of ethics (COE) to the town
and he pursued that objective
without the help of his fellow
Democrat members of the Board
of Selectmen.
Putting aside the history of
what took place over the course
of a year, because of Lauretanos
persistent pursuit the Town of
Salisbury today has an enacted
COE that was voted upon by the
Towns citizens. Thats fact, Ms.
Maltby, not spin.

Fisher cats were very interested in the chickens
We shouldnt support fracking
Mr. and Mrs. Goodall are
correct that there are sher cats
in our area (see letter, Lakeville
Journal, April 3). We had one
take up residence in a pre-exist-
ing hillside burrow between our
house and barn several years ago
when I kept chickens. Needless
to say the hen population began
dropping once the sher cat
moved in. Besides the sher cats
interest in having our chickens
for dinner, there were two be-
loved barn cats it probably had
an eye on.
I was stunned the rst few
times I saw the creature as it
was very strange looking, almost
appearing to be an animal made
up of parts from several differ-
ent commonly seen animals. It
resembled a cross-breeding of
cats, raccoons and possessed
longer, shaggy black hair simi-
lar to that of black bears. It is
signicantly larger than a house
cat but moves much like one.
The back half of the animal is
much out of proportion to the
front the way a raccoon body ap-
pears. It almost looks like it has
a permanently hunched back
and hindquarters like a cat does
when frightened and angry.
Like the Goodalls, I went
straight to the Internet and found
the details on sher cats. The in-
formation was not what anyone
would like to read about describ-
ing a new neighbor. If you nd
a sher cat taking up residence
nearby, safely getting rid of it one
way or another is advisable. In
addition to its extremely vicious,
predatory nature, screeching and
tree climbing capability, it can
also carry rabies.

e wont do much for
U.S. education unless
we recognize and take
steps to neutralize an irrespon-
sible privatization movement
that is bent on defunding and
destroying public school educa-
tion in the USA. This destructive
Luddite movement has its own
reasons for being, and its own
self-interests, but improving the
education of all Americans is not
one of them.
We need to re-think the
very purpose of education at
every level of the system. Yes,
education should lead to jobs,
products, services and new
technologies, but it also serves a
higher, wider purpose: the quest
to understand the universe and
our place in it.
We have to admit that the real
problem in the U.S. public school
system is not so much a crisis
in academic achievement as it
is the dysfunctional nature of
all too many American families.
If we dont adapt our reforms to
this reality, we wont have done
much for education in the U.S.
Several reforms could make all
the difference.
The rst major reform needed
is to revise the public school
students academic day, to begin
early and return by yellow school
bus, not in early afternoon, but
later, more like 6 or 7 p.m., when
more parents are back from
work. This will permit more
healthy exercise, completion
of schoolwork/homework in
school, and thus put our public
school students on a more equal
footing with private boarding
school students.
We should seriously consider
U.S. education: Reforming the system
about who receives the well-
rounded educational exposure to
expand their own capacities and
horizons, meet useful employ-
ment qualications, contribute
to our understanding of the
universe and our place in it, and
give back to our society, to our
culture and to our country.

providing and paying for volun-

living in particularly difcult or
vulnerable family situation. Lets
try this in a few selected sites, and
adapt successful experiences as
appropriate.
How equitable is our public
funding of schools in differ-
ent geographical, racial and
economic areas? Every public
school should enjoy most of the
essential facilities, equipment
and services that other public
and private schools have: healthy
meals, reasonable class size, labs
and specialty rooms, computers,
plenty of sports and exercise,
music, the arts, library and study
halls in which to complete home-
work before returning home. If
any public school lacks these
facilities, we should be happy to
provide and pay for them.
Within the Common Core
Standards Initiative we need to
undertake positive curriculum
review, to determine what study
plans and content students re-
ally need, including informatics,
drawing on teacher-parent-ex-
pert engagement and involve-
ment all along the line. The point
is not to extract sweat and tears
from our students; it is to impart
useful knowledge, foster critical
thinking and whet the inquiring
mind. Thats the true measure of
student performance.
In the nal analysis, reform-
ing the American educational
system is not about who gets
to the top and who doesnt. Its

IF YOU ASK ME
DICK AHLES
W
hen was the l ast
time anyone seriously
considered a choice
like that? Trade school versus
college. Over the last 50 years,
most Americans considered a
college education as the only
ticket to their slice of the Ameri-
can dream. The high cost of that
education, coupled with declin-
ing incomes and fewer openings
for todays college grads make
me wonder if there isnt a better
way forward for a large portion
of our work force.
When was the last time you
could get an electrician, plumber
or other skilled laborer to show
up on the same day you called?
Have their fees gone up or down?
Why are there 200,000 or more
high-paying manufacturing jobs
left unlled in this country in the
face of 7.8 percent unemploy-
ment? My point is that there is
an enormous opportunity for
millions of Americans to earn
more money and live a more
prosperous life than ever before,
but they lack the skills to apply.
During the Cold War, John
F. Kennedy urged this nations
youth to enroll in college. It was
their patriotic duty in order to
counter Soviet aggression and
technological gains. We listened
and enrolled in college by the
millions. The Vietnam War and
the draft spurred even greater
growth in university attendance.
By the 1980s, college was the only
answer to getting ahead. If you
wanted an even better life, gradu-
ate school was the next step, so
I applied. We called it the age of
the MBA.
Trade and technical schools
fell by the wayside. It was a place
where only those who couldnt
pass their SATs would go, qui-
etly and in shame. Attendance
declined, schools were shuttered
and those that did survive were
as popular as the plague.
The globalization of the
worlds economies, however,
threw the worlds labor force
on its head. What followed was
a 30-year wrenching readjust-
ment of worldwide employment
practices. The developed worlds
work force experienced a sub-
stantial decline in real wages,
especially among its unskilled
workers, while the labor force
among emerging economies
has enjoyed a high income and
standard of living.
Here in America those trends
have resulted in a stubbornly
high unemployment rate (espe-
cially among the nations youth)
and an imbalance in our skill
sets. We have an overabundance
of college-trained workers, an
increasing (and unfulfilled)
demand for skilled blue collar
workers and a large number
of undereducated high school
graduates making the minimum
wage.
The Center on Education and
the Workforce at Georgetown
University projects that between
now and 2018, the U.S. economy
will create 47 million job open-
ings. However, less than a third of
those jobs will require a college
degree. Many of these new jobs
will require some occupational
training and skills. This new
national demand will come from
health care, construction, manu-
facturing and natural resources,
among other areas.
As a result, vocational or
trade schools are making a
comeback. Over the last ve years
these schools have experienced
relatively strong growth, about
4.1 percent annually, and are
expected to continue to grow
O
n April Fools Day we
were told that the 7
million signup goal for
Obamacare was surpassed. Re-
ally? Why should we believe this
number? Remember the plan,
your doctor, the hospital, and the
network you could keep plus the
$2,500 in premiums you would
save? Ask the 6-plus million
people whose plans were sum-
marily cancelled whether they
liked them or not. Unsurpris-
ingly, further analysis unearths
some inconvenient truths re the
7.1, or now 7.5, million.
Major insurers are reveal-
ing that 20 percent, about 1.4
million, of enrollees have not
paid a cent in premiums. Count-
ing these people as signed up
is equivalent to claiming that
anyone who puts an item into
their Amazon shopping cart
but doesnt check out has in fact
made a purchase. I would like to
see Amazon claim shopping cart
items as sales in their nancial
statements. Theyd be sued for
fraud the next day.
A second subgroup of enroll-
ees is a portion of the 6+ mil-
lion previously insured who are
buying on the exchange because
their old policy was cancelled
or, because of subsidies, were
actually able to get a cheaper

A
no show provided most
of the drama at the Con-
necticut Republicans
36th annual Prescott Bush Award
Dinner last week mainly because
the absent John Rowland was
arguably the partys biggest star
of those 36 years and maybe of
the past hundred.
Rowland had been indicted
earlier in the day for the second
time in 10 years and was pre-
sumably resting at home before
pleading not guilty the next
afternoon, but people were talk-
ing about him. After all, theyd
been talking about him since he
became a boy legislator at 23, a
boy congressman at 27 and an
aging boy governor at 37.
Talk of Rowland didnt quite
upstage the appearance of Jeb
Bush, the party establishments
preference for president, who
was the guest speaker as well
as the grandson of the dinners
namesake. Of course, hes also
the son and brother of even more
famous Bushes, and some were
talking about how that happen-
stance will make it difcult for
dynasties to become an issue if
his opponent turns out to be the
woman known as Hillary.
In other womens news, the
party gave its Prescott Bush
Leadership Award to the woman
who lost the last two U.S. Senate
elections while another woman,
who actually won a big election
in a Democratic city and may be
a rising star, was given the award
the party sets aside for women.
Some guy got the Fenton Futner
Award, which isnt important,
but Fenton Futner is the kind of
name thats fun to write.
As 800 of the faithful arrived
at the Hilton in Stamford last
Thursday, word was spreading
about that afternoons indict-
The man who wasnt there
added drama to dinner
ment of Rowland, the states only
three-term governor, whose rsts
also include rst governor to re-
sign under the threat of impeach-
ment and rst to go to jail.
Rowland may also become
the second in the latter category
if things go badly at his trial this
summer on charges he con-
spired with GOP congressional
campaigns in 2010 and 2012 to
secretly pay him as a consultant.
He was rebuffed in his rst at-
tempt by Mark Greenberg, now
making his third attempt for
the 5th District nomination,
then secretly hired by the Lisa
Wilson-Foley campaign two
years later.
While pesky reporters were
seeking comments on Rowland
from party goers, Chairman
Jerry Labriola, who may not
see the Gov as the GOP star of
the century, was trying to write
Rowland out of the party. The
fact is, John Rowland has no
connection with the Republican
Party, Labriola insisted. Nor
has he for over 10 years.
Well, not exactly.
uuu
For the past 10 years or so,
Rowland has been promoting
the party, sometimes for pay,
sometimes for free, from 3 to 6
p.m. Monday through Friday on
the states most powerful radio
station, WTIC. When not second
guessing the governor, criticizing
the evil Democratic legislative
majority or going national to
expose the wickedness of Obam-
acare and its namesake, he has
been interviewing Republican
ofceholders and candidates to
the near exclusion of the other
side.
And after Lisa Wilson-Foley
and husband Brian pleaded
guilty of conspiring to launder
a $35,000 political consulting
fee to Rowland through Brians
nursing home chain, Labriola
praised the plea-copping couple
as good Republicans.
Under Labriola, good Repub-
licans were and are moneyed
Republicans, which may explain
why the party gave its Prescott
Bush Leadership Award to Linda
McMahon, who managed to
become a two-time loser, though
not of the Rowland variety, while
spending a record $100 million.
But the money was her own, and
Labriola and his party are known
for looking with special warmth
upon candidates willing to invest
their own funds.
The party did acknowledge
one of its rare winners, 26-year-
old Erin Stewart, who was elected
mayor of New Britain, a city
with something like a six-to-one
Democratic registration advan-
tage. She received the Womans
Leadership Award.
Keynoter Jeb Bush showed
he was more like his liberal
Republican grandfather than
the presidential Bushes by say-
ing things sure to lose Iowa and
South Carolina two years from
now. He spoke kindly of illegal
immigrants and reiterated his
support for education reform
and the Common Core cur-
riculum.
Grandfather would have ap-
proved.

Cartoon by Bill Lee of Sharon and New York City
Trade school versus college
by about 2.6 percent a year over
the next ve years. At the same
time, much of academia as well
as the present government have
changed their attitude toward
vocational training.
Traditionally, we have consid-
ered vocational training as an in-
stitution that trains students for
entry-level positions in jobs that
dont require a college degree.
That may have been the case in
my Daddys Day, but vocational
training is in a state of transi-
tion. Trade schools increasingly
offer a much broader approach
to education and are providing
students with a variety of ap-
plicable skills. Today, technical
school graduates are working
in business, health, computer
technology and various areas of
administration as well as in the
more traditionally recognized
blue collar jobs.
I have often said that oppor-
tunities for U.S. workers with
only a high school degree are
dismal at best and shrinking
daily. These are todays minimum
wage employees. The present
debate over whether or not to
increase that minimum wage
addresses a symptom rather than
a cause in this country. Technical
schools and vocational training
could help turn around the high
unemployment rate of Americas
youth, while lifting an entire
segment of workers out of the
minimum wage trap.

Obamacare, Round 5: What comes next?
policy under Obamacare. With
5.7 million net enrollees there are
in fact fewer Obamacare-related
insured today than when enroll-
ment began.
The whole point of Obam-
acare was to get medical coverage
for the uninsured. Although the
numbers were much debated,
many will recall that President
Obama claimed in 2009, and
again in 2013, that 46 million did
not have medical insurance. Even
if all of the 5.7 million net sign-
ups were previously uninsured,
which is clearly not the case, that
would yield about a 12 percent
rate of conversion of uninsured
to insured. The actual percentage
is much lower, likely well under
10 percent. Is such a poor result
worth all the aggravation and
displacement which has already
occurred?
In addition, the cost of Obam-
acare is soaring by the day be-
cause the proportion of young
enrollees who were needed to
provide the premiums to support
older users, has fallen way short,
at 25 percent or about 1.4 mil-
lion, vs. the 40 percent needed,
2.3 million.
The proof of failure has been
further demonstrated by the
30-plus postponements in key
provisions such as the employer
mandate, and multiple delays in
cancellations of non-complying
policies. These provisions are
cornerstones of the nancing
underpinning the law. They
are being pushed off because it
has become clear that enforcing
them would cause even greater
dissatisfaction and upheaval
among the electorate , and pos-
sible mortal political danger, for
all signers up for reelection in
2014, than has already happened.
But by pushing key provisions
off the President is assuring that
the costs of Obamacare will be
unsustainable. Hes attempting
to push off the reckoning for
the entire complex law beyond
the next election cycle. That is
no solution to the intractable
problems within the law.
Of late, the signers of the bill
realize their precarious political
situation and have adopted a
mend it dont end it theme. The
problem with that, in my opin-
ion, is the law is so complicated
and convoluted that just as you
had to pass it to see whats in it, for
any xes youd put in, one would
have to cross ngers and toes and
hope for a miracle because it is
not possible to know the impact
of any xes. They might just
make matters worse.
As I have written in previ-
ous articles in this series, the
only way forward is to repeal
Obamacare while incorporating
specic popular provisions in
any new law (e.g. keep children
on parents policy to 26 and
allow those with pre-existing
conditions to get coverage via
high risk pools.)
What would an alternate way
forward look like?
Once access issues are taken
care of re: pre-existing condi-
tions, the problem remains one
of cost. Thats the pervasive
issue and has been all along.
One school of thought is to
go to a single-payer model, as
is common in Europe. These
approaches amount to gigantic
price control schemes which,
while guaranteeing coverage,
also guarantee rationing, longer
wait times, and less innovation.
Its one way to go, but not one
America is likely to embrace
having seen the results of just a
partial government takeover.
While exact policy details
vary among several suggested
approaches under consideration,
any such approach should em-
brace a set of basic principles
including the following: (1) en-
courage choice and competition
by allowing consumers to select
policies that give them the cov-
erage they want. These choices
should include high-deductible
policies designed to cover only
major medical issues. Policies
should also be allowed to be sold
across state lines. Competition
brings prices down; (2) allow and
encourage small businesses to
pool their employee groups. This
too would bring down prices;
(3) encourage Health Savings
Accounts by allowing higher
annual maximum contributions.
These accounts can be used to
pay for routine non-insurance
items like contraception and
well care. Subsidies should be
available for those in need. (4)
companies can deduct the full
costs of medical insurance for
their employees. Purchasers of
individual policies should be
treated exactly the same for tax
purposes; (5) tort reform must
be part of any comprehensive
solution. Mega-million lawsuits
benet lawyers over patients.
Obamacare is a costly, convo-
luted morass. It doesnt work as
promised. Lets move on.

The WWII Corsair
Elserafy then shifted gears to
talk about the restoration of an
F4U-4 Corsair, a World War II
ghter plane. The Corsair was
commissioned by the Navy in
1938. It had a Pratt and Whitney
engine, a Chance and Vought
frame, and was built in a facility
constructed on land owned by
Sikorsky.
There are now 10 Corsairs in
ying condition in the U.S. This
will be the 11th.
Elserafy saw a parallel be-
tween the collaborative efforts of
the rival manufacturers and the
teamwork he said is necessary for
mechanical engineering.
The Corsair was an all-Con-
necticut project and was the fast-
est ghter of the time. It was built
mainly for battle, with wings that
folded up so the planes could be
transported on aircraft carriers.
It was all custom-built, said
Elserafy, gesturing to copies of
the detailed mechanical draw-
ings he brought along. Today
we use standardized parts.
Elserafy is working on the
ailerons the aps on the wings
that guide the plane.
He compared the ailerons to
driving a car and taking the hands
off the wheel.
Which I do not recommend,
he added.
If the car is aligned correctly
the car goes straight when your
hands are off the wheel.
He said the ailerons have
more than 100 custom parts.
He creates models of them with
a CAD (computer-aided design)
program, using the original
technical drawings.
Elserafy expressed admiration
for the original plans which go
into great detail, such as noting
that a wooden part requires two
coats of varnish.
We have software that gener-
ates this today. These are hand
drawn.
Sometimes, he said, a detail is
missing. The restorers then have
to go through the old documents
lots of them to nd the
missing information.
So as far as possible, the plane
will be true to the original speci-
cations. There are some excep-
tions, however small fasteners,
glues that are no longer made.
Asked if there are plans to

ramps and waiting for morels,
and preparing my garden for
another summer. One could
almost be forgiven, when the sun
is warm and the mercury rises,
to skip right on to summer, but
that is a fatal temptation in New
England, when frost can last well
into May.
And yet, even if the bitter wind
returns and the clouds spit snow,
it is only an echo, the death rattle
of winter that cannot withstand
the sun and new life returning.
We have stepped out into the

power outages, requirements
were put in place for utility com-
panies to be proactive with tree
and branch cutting. Now, there is
a proposal to dramatically scale
back the enhanced tree trimming
program.
Legislation is proposed to go
back to the old ways of letting
trees just fall down in storms,
Ridgway said at the top of the
meeting.
It would also reinstate the
option for property owners to
prevent trees from being cut.
So one person can say he
doesnt want a tree in front of
his house cut and the guy down
the street loses his power, Ridg-
way said.
A CL&P representative at the
meeting said the bill is driven by
legislators, including the speaker
of the house from the New Haven
area (United Illuminating ter-
ritory), where constituents are
rallying against tree trimming.
The bill is still being crafted
and awaiting hearings with
the Public Utilities Regulatory
Authority (PURA). Letters in
opposition were suggested.
Gara later said there has not
been a lot of discussion about it
at COST, but promised to bring
it up again. She also noted shore-
line residents are cheering the
proposal, and said they need to
be reminded of what happened
after those storms.
In the realm of public safety,
three bills are getting careful
scrutiny.
Towns share of RSTs
COST is seeking revisions to
Senate Bill 288 that addresses
the cost to towns for resident
state trooper programs for
overtime and fringe benets.
Towns currently pay 100 percent
of overtime and 84 percent of
fringe benets, which will go to
93 percent in the next scal year
under current law.
The Public Safety Committee
has approved the bill with an
amendment to freeze the fringe
benet percentage at the cur-
rent rate. It has been referred by
the Senate to the Planning and
Development Committee.
House Bill 5531 is supported
by COST. It would allow two or
more municipalities to create a
regional dispatch authority. It has
been sent to the House.
Bringing back police, 911
Senate Bill 426 upholds new
Department of Emergency
Services and Public Protection
(DESPP) Commissioner Dora
Schriros freeze on further con-
solidation of dispatch for state
police. It is out of committee
and up for consideration by the
Senate. COST is supportive.
Schriro, who took over as head
of the DESPP Feb. 1, has been
traveling to state police troops
across the state to evaluate condi-
tions and needs. A major subject
is the effects of dispatch con-
solidation in Litcheld County,
in 2012, and in the northeast
corner of the state since. Schriro
halted a consolidation plan for
the middle of the state while
she works on her report, but
reinstated trooper assignments
so barracks could once again be
open around the clock.
COG Chair Don Stein, rst
selectman of Barkhamsted,
was one of those who met with
Schriro that afternoon, as she
continues to collect input.
Stein said later there was
nothing new to report, as ex-
pected, but came away feeling
condent.
She is a very, very impressive
person, he said. Shes down-to-
earth and very focused and seems
genuinely willing to work with
communities to make sure the
right things happen.
Stein conrmed Schriro is
considering the cost of revers-
ing dispatch consolidation. New
technology is now in place, so it
would be a much bigger process
than reinstalling the previous
equipment.
Schriro is also looking at
other aspects, such as better
management of 911 calls. Only
about 40 percent of calls into the
911 system are actual emergen-
cies, according to data Schriro
brought to the meeting.
Stein said she has agreed to
come to a future COG meeting
and he is hoping that can be ar-
ranged soon.
restore more Corsairs, Elserafy
said he didnt think so.
Honors aerospace industry
This is a one-time restora-
tion project. Were xing up the
plane and we want to y it. And
we want to honor the Connecti-
cut aerospace industry.
He was asked about the parts
of the Corsair. The parts were
built meticulously, he said, wav-
ing a sample.
Asked how the restorers know
what materials to use, he said the
properties are known and docu-
mented, usually on the drawing.
This screw, that epoxy.
It all matters
Elserafy was asked about his
course load at HVRHS.
I took a lot of math, Calculus
1 but everything you do has
an impact.
I played soccer for three
years. I learned to deal with other
people.
Just like the three companies
cooperating on the Corsair, he
added.
Its all about teamwork.
Elserafy said working at Lime
Rock Park as a teenager was a
valuable experience.
He started off just washing
cars and occasionally moving
them.
Then one day one of the teams
was short a mechanic, and he was
asked to ll in on Pit Lane.
It was the most remarkable
week of my life. I worked 72 hours
a day, and at that point I realized
I wanted to do something with
machines.
He attributed much of his
success to hard work and a good
attitude.
Im not a genius. I just work
really hard.
And this Nothing is im-
possible, nothing is hard be-
cause these people are doing it,
and they are just people.

FALLS VILLAGE Spring
is nally here and Housatonic
baseball is ofcially underway.
The Housatonic Valley Regional
High School Mountaineers
had their 2014 home opener
on Monday, April 14, as they
faced off against Mount Ever-
ett Regional High School from
Massachusetts.
Housy walked away with a
very convincing 15-2 victory,
their rst of the young season.
Previously, the Mountaineers
fell to Terryville and Thomaston
High School.
The Eagles of Mount Ever-
ett jumped on the board rst,
scoring a run off a bases-loaded
walk with no one out in the rst
inning. However, Housy pitcher
Zac Larson escaped the jam
without any further damage, by
getting a force out at home and
then striking out the next two
batters looking.
The Mountaineers would
answer right back in the bottom
of the rst when UConn-bound
senior Willie Yahn launched a
high y ball that landed over
the head of the center elder,
putting Yahn on third base.
Senior Trevor Dakers knocked
Yahn home with a looping single
over the head of the shortstop
for the 1-1 tie.
Housy scored twice more in
the third inning off a passed ball
and ve times in the fourth in-
ning twice off a passed ball,
and once each from a throwing
error, a single, and a sacrice y,
to make the score 8-1.
The Mountaineers added
two runs in the fth inning and
wrapped up the game with ve
more runs in the sixth inning
with a bases-loaded walk and a
ground rule double by Yahn.
Mount Everett managed a
run in the nal inning off a
leadoff solo home run, making
the nal score 15-2 in favor of
Housy.
Yahn nished the game 3-4
with two doubles, a single and
three RBIs while Larson pitched
a complete game, giving up the
two runs over seven innings
while striking out nine batters.
Up next for the Mountaineers
will be rival Gilbert at home on
Wednesday, April 16.

ts big, Captain America: The Winter Soldier, loud and
highly accomplished lmmaking. It transcends the Mar-
vel superhero comic book genre with up-to-the-minute
concerns about personal freedom and government surveil-
lance interwoven with real emotional exchanges between the
main characters.
Where the rst Captain America movie was a throwback to
1940s war lms, even in its sepia tones, the new lm is a self-
conscious homage to the espionage and political thrillers of the
1970s.
Having been thawed out from his post-WW II-freeze (this
is based on a comic book, remember), the Captain, aka
Steve Rogers (Chris Evans), is now a reluctant contractor for
SHIELD, the global spy service run by Nick Fury (Samuel L.
Jackson). When pirates highjack a SHIELD ship in the Indian
Ocean, Rogers and the Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson) are
sent on what appears to be a routine mission to release the
hostages.
Black Widow seems more interested in getting information
from the ships computers than in the hostages, which is the
rst hint that something is amiss high in SHIELD headquar-
ters. Rogers grows increasingly uncomfortable as he realizes
SHIELD is pushing the country he loves ever closer to being
a surveillance state. This isnt freedom, this is fear, he says.
Plot twists begin hurtling at him and us in a near frenzy of
surprise in which no one can be trusted.
But perhaps the biggest surprise of the lm is its direction
and script. Directors Joe and Anthony Russo, previously
known for comedies, have managed both thrilling action
two crashing car chases are as good as any from the 1970s as
well as intimate moments just brilliantly. The script by Chris-
topher Markus and Stephen McFeely is timely and smartly
paced: Between every serious sequence there is a joke or two.
(A bunker in New Jersey full of 1970s computer equipment is
particularly inspired. As is Black Widows question, Was that
your rst kiss since 1941? Or Steves, Its hard to nd a date
when youre 95.)
Casting has always been a strength of the Marvel movie fran-
chises. Evans, ridiculously well-muscled, is a square-jawed, lik-
able Captain, who can act with self-effacement. Johansson is
gorgeous and acts up a storm. (Perhaps Black Widow deserves
her own lm, guys at Marvel.) A new character, the Falcon,
is played by Andrew Mackie as Icarus Redux. Jackson, growl-
ing behind his eyepatch is a Fury determined to save SHIELD,
and Robert Redford, in a truly inspired nod to the 1970s, plays
Alexander Pierce, who, no surprise, is not the charming man
he seems. Sebastian Stan makes a ne, evil foil to the Captain,
even though he is masked for most of the lm.
Yes, Winter Soldier is too long, and, yes, the nal battle is
violent: comic book kapow brought to life. But it is superbly
made, suspenseful, wonderfully acted, grown-up, even a little
sad when a beloved character dies.
Captain America: The Winter Soldier is playing widely in our
area. It is rated PG-13 for intense sequences of violence, gunplay
and action throughout. Do not leave the theater until after the
credits. You will see not one, but two post-credit teasers of coming
Marvel lms.

f the folly of hu-
manity has gotten
you down go to
the Norman Rockwell
Museum.
Then spend some
time with the stimulat-
ing Murray Tinkelman.
Though not generally
well-known, Tinkelman
is considered a legend
in the illustrative arts.
In order to appreciate
his contribution to the
genre, it is important
to understand a little
bit about the history of
illustration; a topic for
which Tinkelman has
considerable passion, so
much so that he travels
the country giving lec-
tures on the subject.
Historically, art has
been used to illumi-
nate religious iconog-
raphy and to glorify
the wealthy. After the
printing press and
public education made
reading a part of ev-
eryday life, art became
a popular medium for
selling goods as well as
telling stories. Origi-
nally, all illustrations
were either etchings
or engravings which
meant that every image
depended upon the skill
of the engravers and the
printers to accurately
transcribe the artists
work. With the inven-
tion of the halftone pro-
cess of photo-engraving,
illustrators became the
force behind the image.
This invention sparked
a golden age of illustra-
tion (1880s-1920s).
Norman Rockwells ear-
ly popularity stemmed
from the narrative styles
of this era.
Commercial and illus-
trative art of the 1930s
through the 1950s was
heavily inuenced by
Rockwells populist nar-
rative style. Tinkelman
grew up in a world lled
with images that sold
the American Dream
but which also belied
the ugly underbelly of
America.
In contrast, most ne
artists of the time were
focusing on portray-
ing their experience of
what they saw as the
real America.
When Tinkelman
entered the advertis-
ing marketplace in the
mid-1950s, there was as
large a divide between
the imagery of the il-
lustrative and ne arts
as there was between
the races.
Tinkelmans early
work has the feel of an
engraving that is try-
ing awfully hard to be
a cartoon. His work
earned him numerous
awards but it wasnt un-
til he absent-mindedly
doodled a rhinoceros in
1970 that he made his
break-through, which is
the focus of the exhibit.
He draws out the im-
age as perfectly as pos-
sible in pencil and then
uses a very ne techni-
cal pen, called a rapido-
graph, to draw tiny lines
all over the sketch.
He then cross-hatch-
es more small lines until
he achieves a middle-
grey tone.
After this he works on
the areas which will be
lighter.
This method gives his
images a layered, sunlit
movement that also
seems incredibly still.
He ranges from whim-
sical Mechanimals
to expressive portraits
of Native Americans
at a Powwow and of
cowboys at the rodeo.
His later work involves
details of old cars, hom-
ages to baseball heroes,
movie monsters and
Coney Island Kodak
moments.

Third An-
nual Juried
Exhibition of photo-
graphs at her gallery in
Stockbridge, MA, is a
fascinating show. Won-
derfully composed and
shot traditional pictures
images of landscapes
or interiors or people
caught at a moment in
time hang next to
staged or carefully ma-
nipulated photographs.
The effect can be a bit
intoxicating.
Take Katherine Ma-
honeys Barber Chair
from an abandoned
penitentiary in Phila-
delphia, PA. An old-
fashioned chair, uphol-
stered in red leather,
remains ready for pris-
oners amid the rubble of
disintegrating walls and
ceiling. It may remind
you of Avery Danzigers
great suite of photo-
graphs from the long-
closed mental hospital
in Wingdale, NY.
Another image of
abandonment, Gene
Ellings Closed on
Cape Fear, shows part
of a closed miniature
golf course with orange
rails separating sad, pale
green lanes and a board-
ed up, bright blue and
orange concession stand
at the back. Hanging
to its side is Geoffrey
Coelhos The Front
Room, a lovely study
in which the camera
looks from an empty,
wallpapered living room
through an open door-
way into part of another
room with a bookcase.
Then there is Stage
Set for Realm of Sem-
blance by Jim Peters
and Kathline Carr.
Whether they are refer-
ring to Kants philo-
sophical notion or to
Brian Lavelles music,
I dont know. But the
image of a woman in a
gauzy, short dress stand-
ing on a riser against
geometric shapes all in
gray, sepia and white
tones is beautiful. Jenny
Gazailles Abandoned
Bed is really a light
painting: Her boyfriend
sat on an old hospi-
tal bed with the head
partially raised and
painted himself with
a laser as she took the
long exposure. Riveting,
if a bit pointless.
Sharon Vidals beach
shot from Viareggio,
Italy, is gorgeously hand
tinted and captures the
feel of Italian summer
sun. Denise B. Chan-
dlers Cloud, the larg-
est picture in the show,
is just what its title says:
A huge cumulus cloud
hangs solitarily, per-
fectly centered in a blue
sky above an expanse
of growing green corn.
Two black-and-white
images of winter, Snow
at Airport from Pops
Peterson and Hudson
from Marcia Powder-
maker are appropriately
austere. Another black-
and-white picture,
Asian-inspired and
artistically composed, is
Tea Egg #3, from the
Home Series by Mars-
den Epworth.
Eric Levins Down-
pour West Orange, NJ,
2013 might have been
staged, but it was not.
A woman holds a young
child, safely dry under a
stores porch, and looks
out toward a man with

heavy rain washing over
the parking lot. The
picture is a near perfect
composition of angles
and contrasting light.

mily DeVotis new play, The Upstart, is about Brigid, the Irish woman
who married Adolph Hitlers half brother, Alois. Its also about theater,
writing, surviving, tribal wariness, nishing things and making choices.
The Upstart, directed by Thomas Gruenewald, with actors Andrew Joffe,
Diedre Bollinger and Kristine Waterman, gets an airing here April 25 and 26
with an Aglet Theatre production at the Bok Gallery in Sharon, CT.
DeVoti, who grew up in Shefeld, MA, is drawn to difcult subjects and
complex ideas. Im interested in the dark side of people and what they will
do to survive, she says, which about sums up this layered and disturbing
piece. And I like capturing peoples stories in a different way.
Writing and theater are hard ways to make a life. One of her plays, Dirt,
captured the interest of well known actors, but not enough money to get it
produced. After ten years she put it away.
The Upstart, however dicey a subject, also deals with the hot issue of
gentrication, breaking up old urban neighborhoods to house what one of
her characters calls hipsters: rich, oblivious people with no interest in the old
community. Artsy yuppies, DeVoti, a Williamsburg resident, calls them.

Doors open at 7 p.m. for The Upstart at the Bok Gallery April 25 and 26.
