A swan dive to rescue trapped birds
SHARON
By Cynthia Hochswender
The Audubon Center in
Sharon received a phone call tip
on Sunday morning, March 12,
saying that two swans seemed to
be either ill or dead or trapped
in the ice on Indian Lake, which
is the water body on the side
of the Millerton Road between
Sharon and Millerton.
Audubon licensed wildlife
rehabilitator Johanna Walton
was sent to evaluate the situa-
tion. She called Todd Anderson,
chief of the Sharon Fire Depart-
ment, and he then called Jason
Wilson, chief of the Lakeville
Hose Company.
Walton said she was pleas-
antly surprised by the large
number of volunteers from
both companies who came out
Spirituality and
to help. Both companies had
what are known as dry suits,
which are buoyant waterproof
suits used for water rescues.
And Lakeville had rescue boats
that could be used if needed.
Using binoculars, Walton
said that she could see that
there were indeed two white
mute swans in the center of the
lake and that both appeared to
be immobile.
It wasnt clear if one or both
was in distress, she said. Swans
mate for life, so its possible that
one was in trouble and that the
other was remaining by its side.
Walton said that she was
particularly glad Wilson was
there; in addition to being a
trained firefighter and EMT, he
was also trained as an animal
control officer.
Those birds are big, about
25 pounds each, and they have
very powerful wings that could
definitely hurt a person, she
said.
Four firefighters donned
their dry suits and began to
some flesh left in the ice at
the spot where the swans had
been. She surmised that the
birds had come to rest on the
water on the relatively warm
and sunny Saturday afternoon;
the temperatures had dropped
precipitously that evening, to
the lowest point theyve reached
this winter.
The rescuers had taken blan-
kets out with them, to cover the
swans and bring them back to
shore if necessary. As it turned
out, the swans were able to
leave on their own power. But
it wasnt a wasted trip for the
firefighters, who looked at it
as an opportunity to practice
using the water rescue gear.
Weve used the cold water
suits numerous times and
they work great, Anderson
said. They keep the rescuer
somewhat warm and somewhat
buoyant while in the water. The
firefighters broke through sev-
eral times but we are trained in

Montgomery Place
SALISBURY
By Patrick L. Sullivan
Montgomery Place, in An-
nandale-on Hudson, N.Y., de-
veloped over the 19th and early
20th centuries from a function-
ing farm to an example of an
American Arcadia.
And the prime movers in the
process were women.
That was the message from
author and curator Kate John-
son, who spoke at the Scoville
Memorial Library in Salisbury
on Saturday, March 18, as part
of the Era of Elegance series of
talks (sponsored by the library
and the Salisbury Association
Historical Society).
The four women were Janet
Livingston Montgomery, Louise
Livingston, Cora Livingston Bar-
ton and Violeta Delafield.
In the Colonial and immedi-
ate post-Revolution eras, women
were not expected to engage with
the outdoors except in genteel
ways: flower and kitchen gardens,
flower arrangement and the
study of basic botany.
But the wealth and social
status of Janet Livingston Mont-
gomery allowed her to ignore
convention.
Montgomery, who died in
1828, was Hudson River Valley
gentry. Her husband, General
Richard Montgomery, was killed
in 1775 in the Battle of Quebec.
The young, childless widow
continued to run the farm the
couple had established, Johnson
said. And Montgomery began
buying up hundreds of acres
of land along the Hudson River,
in order to build what is now
known as Montgomery Place.
Her goal was to establish a
fashionable country seat and
to leave an estate for her nephew
and heir, William Jones.
The house was built in the
federal style, with a lot of classical
features.
And in partnership with a
James McWilliam, she estab-
lished commercial ventures: a
fruit orchard and tree nursery.
The estate also collected rent
from tenant farmers in Dutchess,
Ulster and Delaware counties.
Janets stature increased,
said Johnson. She became an
emblem of personal loss for the
nations liberty.
William Jones died before he
could inherit, so the properties
next passed into the hands of
Louise Livingston, wife of Janets
brother Edward.
Edward was a national politi-
cal figure and served as secretary
of state for President Andrew
Jackson. The Livingstons were an
early example of a Washington
power couple, Johnson said.
Montgomery Place became a
seasonal home, and after Edward
died in 1836, Louise began a se-
ries of improvements, using the
services of prominent architects
and designers.
The most notable of these was
perhaps the conservatory, built
in 1839, where Janet Livingstons
cattle had formerly grazed.

Saturday, March 25, from 10 a.m.
to 1 p.m. at the Douglas Library.
A zine is a self-published mini
magazine that anyone can make.
Zines can contain anything, such
as poetry, prose, art, comics, pho-
tography, non-fiction, personal
essays and more. Learn about
the history and significance of
zines, where to find them, how to
make them and even contribute
to a Douglas Library community

library.
This workshop is designed
with middle school and high
school students in mind, but
adults are welcome as well. The
event will be facilitated by Olivia
Montoya and is free. Call the

occurred in the 1840s, when
Louise and a neighbor together
purchased the Sawkill Ravine to
protect the stream and its sur-
roundings from development.
It was a shift in attitude,
from seeing the wilderness as
something to be exploited, to
wilderness as an aesthetic and
spiritual resource.
The couples daughter,
Cora, who married Thomas
Barton, kept the improve-
ments coming, adding to the
house and building a coach
house, garden follies, even a
Swiss-style cottage for factory
workers.
By 1850, Montgomery Place
was an example of lavish plea-
sure grounds.
The fourth woman who had
a major impact on the property,
Violeta Delafield, came along
later, in 1921.
A member of the White
family from Litchfield (the
same family that established
what is now the White Memo-
rial Conservation Center), she
was a cosmopolitan woman.
She married John Ross Dela-
field, who inherited Mont-
gomery Place, and designed
a series of pocket gardens for
the property that were small
and intimate.
She also compiled a census
of animals and plants on the
property that is still used as a
reference tool today.
Under Delafield, the em-
phasis shifted again, to an ap-
preciation of nature as a healthy
antidote to city life. (The
conservatory was replaced by
a tennis court.)
The estate remained in the
Delafield family until 1986,
when it became a museum.
The property was purchased
in 2016 by Bard College.

KENT
By Elyse Sadtler
Litchfield County was created
in 1751 by an act of the Connecti-
cut General Assembly. Before it
could become official, however,
the new countys boundaries had
to be defined. In an era without
four-wheel drive vehicles, sat-
ellites or GPS, a surveyors task
was arduous.
In a talk on Sunday, March
19, part of the Kent Historical
Societys Sunday Series, author
and historian Michael-John Ca-
vallaro described the journey of
intrepid surveyor Edmund Lewis
and his team as they mapped
the county.
This guy was amazing, said
Cavallaro of Lewis, who became
New Haven Countys official
surveyor in 1702 at the age of
23. The work he did is evident
upon the landscape today. He
surveyed the entire northwest
corner of the state, including
Kent and New Milford.
The land that became Li-
tchfield County was originally
part of New Haven County and
encompassed a huge expanse of
territory.
Distance became a big
problem, Cavallaro explained.
If a crime was committed in
Salisbury, the county sheriff in
New Haven would have to come
all the way north on horseback
to deal with it.
The formation of a new
county was necessary to handle
the growth of the colony as the
northern frontier was developed.
Lewis was hired to establish its
perimeter.
Lewis was in the field for
months at a time while he per-
formed his work. He and his
team used horses for transport,
pulling their tools, instruments
and provisions in wagons as they
traversed the terrain.
Although they encountered
many challenges along the way
such as rushing waterways,
mucky swamps and steep mas-

time looked much different
than it does today. The Native
Americans living in the area
kept as much as 80 percent of
the landscape denuded of trees
by regularly burning the grass
that covered much of the land.
This practice kept forests from
forming and facilitated the
hunting of game. It also allowed
Lewis to move with more ease
and efficiency.
Lewis carried with him many
tools and instruments for his
task. A sight level, compass and
plumb bob would certainly have
been in his arsenal. Surveyors
of the time also used rods and
chains to measure distances. A
rod was 16 1/2 feet long and usu-
ally crafted from two 8-foot-3-
inch pieces of wood that screwed
together. A chain was four rods,
or 66 feet, in length. The chains
Lewis would have used were
forged from iron into 1-inch
links that were strung together.
Using simple tools and complex
mathematical algorithms, the
boundaries of Litchfield Country
were laid.

mounds placed by Lewis to
mark the bounds of the towns
he surveyed are still visible today
in the woods.
Not only did Lewis and his
team leave their mark upon the
landscape by creating the mod-
ern-day boundaries and leaving
behind rock piles, they even
gave the section of New Milford
its name. Cavallaro related the
tale of how Lewis team drank
too much of their rum rations
while in the area of present-day
Merryall. They became quite
intoxicated, or merry all about
as it was referred to in those days.
This is the only place I know
of that was named after drunk
surveyors, Cavallaro chuckled.
Lewis completed the mon-
umental task of defining the
perimeters of the towns that
make up our present day reality.
He made order out of chaos,
Cavallaro said. He is an unsung
hero.
Cavallaro is the author of two
books,Tales of Old New Milford:

a Connecticut Frontier Town

Taste of the Tri-State offers relief for cabin fever
SALISBURY
By Cynthia Hochswender
It was a perfect opportunity to
get out of the house and see some
people after the cabin-fever induc-
ing, late-winter mess brought on by
the March 14 blizzard.
Participation was very high for
the second annual Taste of the Tri-
State, sponsored by the Tri-State
Chamber of Commerce and held
in the Mars Athletic Center at
The Hotchkiss School on Sunday,
March 19.
About 50 area businesses took
part, including about 20 who
provided food that ranged from
meatball sandwiches from Deanos
in Lakeville (one of the first offerings
to be sold out) to bits of sushi-grade
ahi tuna from the Interlaken Inn.
There was a magic show and a
presentation featuring hawks and
kestrels from the Audubon Center
in Sharon.

Jennifer Knight of Webster Bank helped Oliver Peterson spin who came to his booth to learn how
the wheel of fortune (he won some lip balm). to make a small, simple rake. And
the booth of Morsel Munk from
Winsted was also busy through-
out the afternoon as children and
their parents tried to walk a low
tightrope. For the more sedentary
children, face painting was offered
by the Canaan Child Care Center
and Housatonic Child Care Center.
Organizer Sue Dickinson, who is
president of the Tri-State Chamber,
said she was extremely pleased with
how the event turned out. Although
its hard to get an exact head count,
she felt confident that twice as many
people came for this years festival as
came for last years inaugural edition.
Certainly the weather helped.
We were nervous when we heard
there might be snow on Sunday but
it ended up being perfect, she said.
All in all, she said, Were very
happy and think that next year
will be even bigger. People seemed
happy to be there and said they
hope well continue. And a lot of
business owners got new leads and
that is our goal. T:11.5

The food court was an
extremely popular spot

The event introduced busi-

youngsters to do, including

Success leads to new business
Theres an old adage that says beauty comes from within. There seems
to be proof of this from the weight loss success of several well-known town
residents including two who were so impressed with their results that
they are now selling the products that helped them.
Darin Reid and Charlie Kelly both lost
more than 50 pounds in just a few months,
thanks to the help of a product line from
Slenderiiz. In addition to exercising and
cutting out processed foods such as white
flours and sugars, they also used homeopath-
ic drops that, according to the companys
literature, assist in the specific release of
visceral fat and subcutaneous fat.
The products work quickly; Reid said that
he and Kelly have been losing about a pound
a day, as have two other Salisbury residents
who are on the program (but are not partners
in selling the Slenderiiz products). Whenever
there is a fast drop in weight, there are always
concerns about nutrition. The Slenderiiz
program also includes a line of vitamins
and nutrients to make sure the body is only shedding what it doesnt need. Darin

gest stream trout populations are
somewhat resistant to weather
extremes. Wachocastinook Wild
Trout Management Area, in
the middle and lower sections,
remains cool and never stops
flowing. When flows do get
very low, there are lots of good
pools with rock cover to hide
under. Temperatures stay cool
enough due to the higher ele-
vation and the narrow forested
valley limiting the amount of
sunlight hitting the stream, and
keeping the air temperature at
the water surface a bit lower
than on many other streams.
Also ground water remains at
a constant cool temperature,
and the accumulation of small
springs, especially during low
water, keeps the temps suitable
for trout.
After mid-June last year, the
Housatonic was so low and so
warm that it was more like an
ornamental rock garden with a
stream in the middle than the big,
bruising, Western-style river we
all know and cuss at occasionally.

And turned into angels to help guide our way.

To ask for forgiveness and wisdom to learn.
You left us so young, which taught us that day,
That life can so quickly be taken away.
We try to view time as precious gift,
Sometimes turning to you to give us a lift.
Theres times, Im sure, we may let you down,
But just hope overall that we make you proud.

The small mountain streams
were recharged even before
last weeks snowfall. This
brook trout took a black
Wooly Bugger. (The fish was
released.)
Humphreys said he cant
remember a year as bad as 2016
on the Housatonic. Conditions
in 2016 were the worst Ive seen.
Record low flows continued into
mid-November. My electron-
ic water temperature loggers
showed the most days (63) with
short-term lethal temperatures
(over 80 degrees F) that Ive ever
seen in the river; also the warmest
Ive ever seen, 88.7 degrees F.
For much of the summer,
and into the fall, the only loca-
tions where trout could survive
were in the thermal refuges at
cold tributary stream mouths. I
checked these thermal refuges,
where no fishing is allowed,
regularly through the summer,
initially finding hundreds of
trout packed into these small
cold areas.
During the course of the
summer, trout numbers declined
steadily, mostly due to bird pre-
dation and shrinking tributary
flows, until most refuges no
longer had any trout present de-
spite the continued lethal temps
in the main stem of the river.
The one exception was Furnace
Brook Thermal Refuge, where it
appeared that hundreds of large
trout, up to 24 inches, rode out
the extended bad summer, and
survived to swim away once the
river temps finally returned to
trout-friendly levels.
Looking ahead to April 8,
Humphreys said that while some
of the larger holdover trout made
it through the summer, overall
the trout survival rate is way
down from the usual perhaps
as few as a couple hundred.
(Thats out of thousands of
rainbow and brown trout.)
But fishing should be decent
this spring. DEEP stocked about
6,000 trout last fall, and will add
9,000 more in late April.
But there probably wont be
too many of the big multi-year
holdovers that anglers are always
hoping for.

Financial transaction tax would erase US budget deficit

Part 1 of 2
O
ne of the most crucial
economic and political
issues facing the current
U.S. administration and Con-
gress in 2017 is how to manage
the U.S. national budget deficit
to correct the imbalance
between revenues and expen-
ditures.
The recent historical record
is this: Under the George W.
Bush administration (200108),
the annual U.S. budget deficit
rose by a factor of 5, from $300
billion to $1.5 trillion by the
end of 2008. Under the Obama
administration (20092016), the
deficit was reduced, by a factor
of 3, to $441 billion, and it is
projected to decline further to
$350 billion by the end of this
Spring snow, melting but cold

fiscal year (2017). Lets assume
that $350 billion is the target im-
balance to be corrected. Whats
the solution?
The current debate in the
U.S. Congress is whether (a) to
reduce the size of government
by reducing taxes and budget
expenditures on social programs
(such as health, education, in-
frastructure, job creation etc.),
or (b) to raise tax bracket rates
(perhaps to 35 or 40 percent) for
the more wealthy among us, in
order to increase revenues and
restore equity in the tax system.
Actually, neither approach (a
or b above) is entirely satisfacto-
ry, sufficient or even necessary.
The real problem is that the IRS
is unable to collect sufficient
taxes because of the growing use

avoidance (not to use the term
tax evasion), euphemistically
called tax loopholes, including
the exemption from taxation
of certain organizations and
investment vehicles, and the
use (or misuse) of foreign and
domestic tax havens. Under
these circumstances, the Trump
administrations promise to re-
duce overall tax rates, if achieved,
would widen inequity and drive
national budget deficits through
the roof.
On the other hand, raising
tax rates or brackets on the
wealthy would not address the
underlying problem, because
those exploiting tax loopholes
dont pay taxes at any bracket
rate anyway. Raising tax rates
would most likely hit the so-
called middle class most heavily,
while encouraging still more
billionaires to take advantage of
hundreds of new tax loopholes
skillfully drafted and hidden in
some 50,000 pages of the U.S.
Tax Code and judicial rulings.
Proposed alternative tax re-
forms such as replacement with
flat taxes or national sales taxes,
to give the impression of overall
income tax reduction, would

once again permit the billionaire
oligarchs to pay a lower effective
rate of tax, and thus contribute
even less to covering the cost of

Hospital
Continued from Page A1
If all goes smoothly, Sharon
is expected to get state approval
by July.
Reasons for the sale
Mike Browder opened the
meeting by explaining why
RCCH decided to let Sharon go.
He is the executive vice presi-
dent and chief financial officer
of RCCH HealthCare Partners,
which is Sharons parent com-
pany.
He talked first about the
investments RCCH made in Sha-
ron Hospital and the companys
regret at leaving this community.
He pointed to the sizable
provider tax being levied by
the state as a major cause for
Essents decision to sell. Also
hurting Sharon Hospital were
state regulations that made it
difficult for patients from New
York state to cross the border
and get care from Connecticut
physicians.
Frankly, this is a very tough
state from a regulatory point of
view, he said.
With RCCH, Sharon Hospital
was part of a larger group which
helped it in some ways, such as
improving its purchasing power.
But it was still geographically iso-
lated from the other hospitals in
the RCCH group, most of which
are in the south.
The clock is ticking on stand-
alone community hospitals,
Browder said. Sharon Hospital is
out there by itself, even as part
of the RCCH family.
The right solution, he said,
is for Sharon to be part of a sys-
tem with geographic proximity.
A return to the community
Next to speak was Robert
Friedberg, who joined Health
Quest as president and CEO.
Prior to that he was at hospitals
in Illinois, including Rush-Pres-
byterian-St. Lukes in Chicago.
Friedberg reassured the audi-
ence that Health Quest already
considers Sharon and the other
towns of the Tri-state region
to be part of their community.
Health Quest is continuing to
expand and improve services,
and Sharon will benefit and be
part of that growth.
When Sharon joins Health
Quest will there be a huge
sucking sound as services and
profits leave the community? It
will be the opposite, he promised.
Right now, Vassar and North-
ern Dutchess have more patients
than they can manage. Health
Quests plan is to beef up ser-
vices in Sharon so that more
patients can be serviced here.
New physicians are already being
recruited for Sharon. There are
also immediate plans to increase
cardiac care options here and to
offer cancer care again.
For patients who need higher
levels of care, such as someone
Gaming
Continued from Page A1
Oversight of these games and
the issuing of licenses has been
in the hands of the Department
of Consumer Protection (DCP),
which was merged in 2011 with
the state Division of Special
Revenue. One of the proposed
bills, HB 7137, would take
oversight of charitable bingo
games, bazaars and raffles away
from DCP and give it to towns
and cities.
DCP Chairman Jonathan
Harris has been trying to stream-
line regulations and operations.
In his testimony before the
Public Safety Committee on
March 9, he thanked the com-
mittee members for writing the
bill and explained that, This bill
would remove DCP from regu-
lation of charitable gaming and

who needs open-heart surgery
and chooses to have it done at
Vassar, Health Quest will make it
easy, with the transfer of medical
records, physician relationships,
referrals.
One man questioned the
financial assumptions being pre-
sented in the Certificate of Need
that the hospital has presented to
the state. Friedberg went through
the numbers with him but said
that in the end, it doesnt actually
matter if Sharon reaches the most
optimistic projections in the
shortest amount of time.
Im not looking to make
Sharon Hospital profitable, he
said. Im looking at the health-
care needs of a large community
and trying to figure out what
medical care is needed and how
to provide it.
A woman asked about com-
munity oversight. Friedberg said
that there is a board that oversees
Health Quest, which will now
have representation from the
Sharon Hospital board. And
there will also be a local board
just for Sharon Hospital.
Foundation funds
Someone noted that when
Sharon Hospital switched to a
for-profit entity, funds that had
been donated from the commu-
nity over the year were given to a
nonprofit called the Foundation
for Community Health, which
was created specifically to grow
and use those funds. Some of
the money that will be given to
Health Quest for the purchase of
Sharon Hospital will come from
those foundation funds. The
questioner said she felt uneasy
about whether those funds will
no longer be available to give
grants to local organizations.
When the foundation was
created by the attorney general,
it was given the right of first
refusal to purchase the hospital
during the first five years in
which it was owned by Essent.
During those five years, none
of the money could be spent.
In that time and since then,
the foundations funds (which
have been managed by the
Berkshire Taconic Community
Foundation) have grown from
$16 million to $25 million.
Nancy Heaton, who is head of
the foundation, stood to reassure
the audience and to say that mon-
ey will still be available. Through
investments it has grown over
the years; and there will still be
money left after the purchase of
the hospital.
The money will be spent in
two parts, Heaton said. Three
million dollars will go toward
the purchase price of the hos-
pital. Then a second investment
of working capital will be used
to help the hospital grow and
succeed.
would transfer that authority,
along with all of the revenues
generated from the fees, to the
municipalities in which the
activities are held.
Also included in the pack-
age of proposals that regulate
gambling is HB 7239. In his
testimony, Harris explained
that, This bill would allow for
the operation of a third casino
in Connecticut and require the
commissioner of DCP to issue
a request for proposals [RFP]
for such an entity.
Harris said in his testimony
that no guidelines have been
developed yet for such an RFP,
and he requested that the those
guidelines be developed before
the RFP has to be written.
Harris also expressed con-
cern with SB 957, which would
allow MMCT Venture to oper-
ate a casino that is not on tribal

Health Quest will pay $2 mil-
lion toward the purchase.
The foundations decision
to partner with Health Quest
followed nearly a year of dis-
cussions, Heaton said. In that
time, the foundation talked to
other hospitals and health-care
systems, to be sure that Health
Quest would be a good and reli-
able partner and to see if a better
buyer might be out there who
would like to invest in Sharon.
The foundation is in theory
going to invest an additional $6
million back into the hospital
but, Heaton said,Only if Health
Quest invests twice as much as
that.
Both Heaton and Friedberg
stressed that the hospital is now
being returned to the commu-
nity, after being owned for since
2002 by a corporation.
Physician choices
Sal Accardo asked if the new
hospital will be attractive to
high-quality physicians and if it
will someday be possible to get a
second opinion without having
to leave the area.
Friedberg said that in certain
areas its likely that there will be
multiple specialists. Cardiology
is one example.
Five or six years ago, the
heart center at Sharon Hospital
was a stand-alone company that
was competing against the car-
diologists who were practicing
here, he said. Thats not a good
model.
Under the Health Quest
model, there can be multiple
cardiologist working in different
areas for the same company, so
they wont be in competition and
they wont have to worry about
patient volumes.
He also noted that the entire
Health Quest system, including
Sharon, will begin to have medi-
cal residents (MDs) in 2019. That
not only increases the number of
people providing medical care,
it also gives us the chance to
recruit the best of them.
Howard Fuhr asked whether
there will be more primary care
physicians brought to the com-
munity. Friedberg said he expects
there will be three to five more
primary care doctors here within
the next couple years. He also
noted that of course the busier
the doctors are here, the more
attractive the area becomes to
high-quality doctors.
It isnt just the finances, he
said. Good doctors want to be
challenged; they dont want to
sit in their offices with nothing
to do and no one to see.
Our job is in part to create an
environment in which doctors
are intellectually stimulated,
theyre paid well and they be-
come part of the community in
which they live and work.
land in Connecticut. MMCT
is a company made up of the
Mashantucket Pequot and
Mohegan tribes.
In his testimony, Harris said
that he feels this bill could in-
terfere with the compacts and
memorandums of understand-
ing already in place with the two
individual tribes. He also felt
it would leave DCP with very
little enforcement authority.
Velky testified
Also testifying against SB
957 and HB 7239 was Richard
Velky, who described himself
in his testimony on March 9
as chief of the Schaghticoke
Tribal Nation since 1987.
Velky raised numerous ob-
jections to the casino-related
bills in his 27-pages testimony
and related documents, all of

help, petitioning to bring him
home.
The second case, and perhaps
the most devastating, deals
with Whites own nephew, Isaac
Palone. The son of an alcoholic
mother and absent father, Isaac
had been in and out of group
homes most of his life. When
we first meet him at 17, he has
two warrants for shoplifting
and burglary and is fighting to
keep at bay his own demons. A
tattoo on his arm reads: every
sinner has a future. As White
seeks guardianship of Isaac
and Makepeace follows the boy
through three years of trouble
and temptations, we wonder if
this is possible.
One of the truths of Tribal
Justice is that it offers no easy
answers. Near the end of the
film, Abinanti remarks that the
people they are trying to help
have stumbled and you are
there to help them back from
that stumble. As in real life, not
every story is a success. Some
children come home, some
people get married, some go to
jail. Reservation life is hard, and
tribal courts are in place to ease
the pain and add support.
By focusing on Abby Abi-
nanti and Claudette White, two
strong women determined to
do good work for the people
they love, Makepeace has made
a film that is as gratifying as it
powerful.
Tribal Justice was partial-
ly funded by grants from the
MacArthur Foundation, the
National Endowment for the
Humanities and Vision Maker
Media. It will have a national
broadcast on the prestigious
PBS series P.O.V. later this year.
Tribal Justice will screen at

The screening will be followed
with a discussion with Anne
Makepeace. Admission is free.

One point he makes is that
the right to open a third casi-
no in the state should not be
reserved for the two tribes that
already have casinos, especially
if the new casino does not have
to be on tribal land.
He also offers detailed anal-
ysis of why western or south-
western Connecticut would be a
better location for a new casino
than northern Connecticut. He
says in his testimony that a slots
casino is being planed now for
the area near Windsor, Conn.
There will be too much compe-
tition from gaming operations
that are nearby in Massachu-
setts, he says in his testimony.
Placing the new casino in the
southwest part of the state
will make it more attractive to
gamblers from New York and
Rhode Island.

The maple sap revolution
T
he sap is running from
maple trees here in the Tri-
state region. If you know
someone who makes their own
syrup, give him or her a call and
see if you can buy a half gallon of
the pure, clear sap, before they boil
it down into amber syrup.
Heres the math: It takes about
40 gallons of sap to make 1 gallon
of syrup. And most people still
boil down the sap in a tank over
a wood fire. It takes a long time
for all the water to boil out of the
sap, so someone has to keep an eye
on the tank and to keep chucking
logs into the fire.
Its a lot of work, which is why
a gallon of pure maple syrup costs
about $65. I really like syrup, so
every year at this time I buy a half
gallon for about $34; by the time
sap season returns, Im usually
finished with the old syrup and
ready to buy a new half gallon.
This year, in addition to syrup,
Im hunting down sources for the
clear sap, right out of the tree.
My friend Peter Montgomery,
who is an orchardist and apple
specialist in Warren, Conn., has
been sharing some of his sap
bounty with me this winter, and
weve been experimenting with
different ways to drink it and to
cook with it.
If you shop at Whole Foods, its
possible youve seen maple water
on the shelves. Im not completely
sure about this, but I believe that
water is the byproduct of making
syrup in the modern way, which is
through reverse osmosis. Instead
of the water evaporating, its ba-
sically pushed out. The leftover
liquid is (I believe) what theyre
selling in bottles.
Why would you drink maple
water? If youre like me, youve
become very dehydrated by this
dry winter. I am drinking a ton of
water, and Im starting to feel as
though Im washing all the nutri-
ents out of my body with all that
water. Maple sap, or maple water
as its sometimes called, has lots
of minerals in it specifically,
according to a website called www.
wildfoodism.com, it has 16 times
the potassium, 37 times the calci-
um and 3.9 times the magnesium
of regular old spring water.
I get lots of leg cramps; potassi-
um and magnesium are supposed
to help keep my muscles healthy
and to fend off cramps.
All three minerals (potassium,
magnesium and calcium) are very
good for your bones, which is
particularly important for those
of us who are worried about os-
teoporosis. They are also believed
to help lower your blood pressure.
For those of you on the
younger end of the age spectrum,
experiments have shown that
drinking maple water before
drinking alcohol can improve the
rate at which you metabolize the
alcohol and thus help diminish or
eliminate the chances that youll
get a hangover.
This is especially good news
if you decide to use maple sap in
cocktails.
I cant tell you exactly how
many calories are in a cup of
maple sap (or map sap, as Peter
refers to it). But I can tell you that,
on average, 98 percent of the sap
is water and 2 percent is sugar. (If
youre really into the science of
sugar, by the way, the particular
sweetness of maple sap comes
from the type of sugar known as
sucrose, which is what you find
in regular white processed sugar.)
I can also tell you that there are
13,312 calories in a gallon of ma-
ple syrup. In theory, you should
be able to divide that number
by 40 to learn that there are 332
calories in a gallon of maple sap.
There are 16 cups in a gallon, so if
Im doing my math correctly there
should be 20 calories in a cup of
Food for

sap versus 819 in a cup of syrup.
I dont really drink cocktails
so I cant share a lot of recipes for
party beverages here.
Peter has kindly shared about
a gallon and a half of sap with
me, and in addition to drinking it
straight Ive been cooking with it.
First, there are probably some
bacteria in your pure sap. Just as
you shouldnt eat snow fresh from
the ground, you also shouldnt
really consume maple sap with-
out boiling it down a little, just
in case. I usually boil my sap for
about 15 minutes, until a foamy
scum forms on top. I scoop off
the scum, strain the remaining
liquid through a cheesecloth and
then refrigerate it.
In theory, the sap should last
for several weeks in your refrig-
erator. But it wont last forever;
as sugarmakers like to say, if you
want to preserve your maple sap,
just boil it down until its, oh wait,
maple syrup.
You can use it for cooking, too

By Cynthia Hochswender
If your eyes have been feeling
tired since,say,last Tuesday (March
14), its very possibly because of all
the snow on the ground.
Snow reflects tons of light into
your eyes and if youve been out on
snowshoes or cross-country skis,
or if youve been driving around,
your eyes are probably working
hard to help you see through all
the glare.
Making matters worse, the
changing temperatures tend to
make your eyes dry. Weirdly (per-
haps), wearing sunglasses helps
keep your eyes lubricated at the
same time they protect you from
snow reflections.
Drivers needed to help cancer patients
The American Cancer Societys
Road To Recovery program is in
need of volunteers to donate their
time and passenger seat to help get
cancer patients to their lifesaving
appointments and treatment.
Samantha Martinez, program
manager for mission delivery with
the American Cancer Society, said,
Were urgently asking drivers to
volunteer to take cancer patients
to treatment. One cancer patient
requiring radiation therapy could
need between 20 to 30 trips to
treatment over the course of
six weeks. A patient receiving
chemotherapy may need weekly
treatment for up to a year.
Volunteers must have a valid
drivers license, a safe and reliable
vehicle and proof of automobile
insurance. Drivers must be at

Population growth is
slowing worldwide
This year, schools and towns in the Northwest Corner have
been concerned about drops in the number of full-time resi-
dents (especially those with school-age children). Chambers
of commerce and economic development commissions have
been meeting to discuss ways to boost population and increase
enrollment at the six Region One elementary schools.
The Sharon Board of Education put together a task force a
few months ago to look at the problem and try to come up with
some solutions. At an early meeting, there was a presentation on
statistics by Mike Goman of the regional consulting firm Goman
and York and by Jocelyn Ayer from the Northwest Connecticut
Council of Governments (which is an organization made up of
the first selecctmen from 21 Litchfield County towns).
A particularly interesting part of that presentation showed

that the drop in population isnt specific to the Northwest Cor-
ner. All across the state and all across New England, populations
are dropping. There is especially a decrease in the number of
children, partly because women are having fewer children and

and Song, has been in the
works since 2015. Thats
when composer John Myers,
who is a professor and
