Despite the fact that hewill appear unopposed onthe ballot on Election DayTuesday, Nov. 6, State Rep.Danny Rovero (D-Thompson, Putnam,Killingly) has been out andabout leading up to the elec-
tion — knocking on doors,attending functions and meet-ing with constituents of the51st General AssemblyDistrict.
In the last days of his firstterm as a state representative,Rovero reflected on his jumpfrom local politics with theVillager last week.
Rovero, formerly a smallbusiness owner, served as themayor of Putnam from 1991 to2005 — then jumped at thechance to serve on the statelevel, defeating Bob Jeniski in2010 after former State Rep.Shawn Johnston decided notto seek re-election.
“It was entirely different,”
said Rovero of his first daysin the House two years ago. “Ithink on a local level it was alittle more personal — youwent into meetings feelingthat you knew what the peo-ple wanted because you spoketo most of them directly, but

State Sen. Donald E. Williams,D-Brooklyn, assumed office near-ly a decade ago, in 1993, and waslater elected to serve as StateSenate President Pro Tempore,
the highest-r a n k i n gposition inthe StateSenate, in2004.
Williamsis runningfor re-elec-tion againstc h a l l e n g e rSally White,R -T h o m p s o n .
The Villager had the opportunitylast week to sit down withWilliams and discuss his politicalplatform, the variety of initia-tives he has worked on over thepast couple of decades in office,and the work he would like to con-tinue if re-elected.

Taxpayers have their limits.That’s the point Sally White is
driving home, as Election Daynears on Tuesday, Nov. 6. White,who is running for the 29thSenatorial District on theRepublican ticket, opposes currentSenate President Pro TemporeDonald Williams Jr. (D-Brooklyn)on the ballot this year.
Endorsed by both theRepublican and Independent par-ties, the former Thompson select-man has served in high-level presi-dential appointments in
Washington,D.C., and as asenior execu-tive at thePentagon, inaddition toserving for 20years in theU.S. Air ForceR e s e r v e .White alsohas experi-ence working
in the private sector for small andlarge businesses.
Now she is running for StateSenate on a platform of tax
reform, which she said is crucialto future economic success in theprivate and public sectors.
“I think that underlying theapproach to public policy is thatthe taxpayers have limits, andthat’s why the term ‘limited gov-ernment’ arises. And I thinkunfortunately, some people hearthat term and they think it meansthat the government won’t per-form its essential roles of protect-ing people and carrying out itscore responsibilities,” said White.

PUTNAM — Thirty years ago, in theFellowship Hall located beneath St. Mary’s, on218 Providence St., The Daily Bread food pantryopened its doors to the public for the first time.
With only a pay phone and a group of dedi-cated volunteers, the Daily Bread has sinceflourished over time and expanded to serve theneeds of many people within the community.
Celebrating 30 years of service to its commu-nity, Interfaith Human Services of Putnam helda celebration on Thursday, Oct. 25, in that sameexact location, in commemoration of the mile-stone achievement.
“Can you believe it?” asked Kathi Peterson,who has been active with The Daily Bread since2007, when it was located on Church Streetbefore moving to its current location on GroveStreet.
“It started out serving about 50 people a
month, and we are now serving 625 people andare providing between 7,300 and 7,600 meals amonth. It’s definitely grown,” said Peterson.
The Daily Bread realized it needed to becomea 501(c)(3) non-profit, at which point, IHSPPresident David Baird helped the food pantry tofile the appropriate paper work, and in 2005became officially recognized as a non-profitorganization.
The Daily Bread began as a vision of theSaint Mary’s Church, explained original coordi-nator for the food pantry Jo Ellen Devlin duringthe celebration.
“We talked about the idea and that there wereso many marginal people in our communitywho didn’t qualify for help but needed help —and the idea of feeding the hungry as a direc-tive. We should be feeding the hungry rightwhere we live,” Devlin said. “And that was the

New England Jam Chowda’ draws a crowd in DanielsonBY MERYL E. WILLETTVILLAGER STAFF WRITER
DANIELSON — Chuck Goldy hasowned The Daily Grind BMX shop onMain Street in Danielson for 10 yearsas of Nov. 1, and for almost half ofthat time he’s been dreaming of host-ing a BMX exhibition in town thatwould bring together other indepen-dent BMX shops from all over NewEngland.
“It’s different, because most storesthat sell like products are very com-petitive, whereas we are all a biggroup of friends. I thought puttingon a noncompetitive event, just for
fun, would be the thing to do,” saidGoldy.
With that, the first annual “NewEngland Jam Chowda” was born.
Held in the parking lot behind theSteam Punk Café at 44 Cottage St., inDanielson, New England JamChowda attracted approximately 750bikers, 14 bike shops, and about sixNew England based brands to theQuiet Corner Sunday, Oct. 14.
Bikers and shop owners alikehailed from the far reaching cornersof western Massachusetts, NewHampshire, Rhode Island,Connecticut, and even New Jersey,
venturing to Danielson for thisevent.
“The idea was that the shops set upbooths, but only sell their own mer-chandise. You know, branded stuff topromote their stores. Most placesbought T-shirts from other people’sshops, which I thought was kind ofneat,” said Goldy.
In addition, each shop was giventhe challenge of building and bring-ing their own obstacle to “The Jam”
for the bikers to ride on.“There was no form or fashion for
who rode when. It was really just to

Periodically, people ask mewhere I get my ideas for mycolumns.
Lynn LaBerge, Marilyn Labbeand Nate Bramlett recentlyshowed several groups ofKillingly school children aroundthe Center and pulled “artifacts”such as rotary phones and cam-eras with huge flash attachmentsfrom storage. Apparently onechild was amazed that the flash-bulb was good for only one picturethen had to be thrown away. If youhave other old household itemsthat you no longer use, please con-sider donating them to theCenter’s collection so they can beused for future school groups.
How rapidly our lives havechanged! Do you ever stop to thinkwhat life was like 10 years ago?Twenty years ago? I’ve decidedthat at least once a month I willdevote part of the column to goingback in time. To giving a shortsummary or overview of whatwas happening in Killingly, andperhaps northeasternConnecticut, at a particular pointin history since I’ve written so
much about particular topics andnot everyday life.
So I’ll begin with 300 years ago.The year was 1712, only four
years after Killingly was incorpo-rated. The town of Killinglystretched from the Plainfield townline to the Massachusetts border,which was still under dispute. Thenearest neighboring town formost inhabitants was Woodstock,which was still part ofMassachusetts. Only a few ruderoads existed in the settlement.
Peter Aspinwall had cut onefrom Woodstock across theQuinebaug through the presentBallouville section of Killinglyand on towards Providence. Partsof Route 101 were in existence aswere sections of Route 12. Bothhad once served as paths for theNative Americans. There were nobridges across the Quinebaug orFive Mile rivers. Travelers had toford the rivers. The only knownsettler in what is now Danielsonwas James Danielson, who ownedthe beautiful piece of landbetween the Quinebaug and FiveMile rivers north to Alexander’s
Lake. There were no known inhab-itants in South Killingly. Themain “settlement” consisted of anumber of farms or homesteadsextending from the QuinebaugRiver to what is now PutnamHeights and Thompson. The towndid not yet have a settled ministeror meetinghouse. Families weretraveling to Woodstock to attendservices, to be married, or to havechildren baptized. There were noschools.
Isaac Cutler was operating asawmill on a brook near theRhode Island border in what isnow East Putnam. Richard Evansoperated a fulling mill on a smallbrook near present-day Fox Roadin Putnam. There was no knowngristmill so settlers would havehad to travel to have grain groundinto flour.
Archaeological evidence indi-cates that the earliest homes wereusually of the small cape style sothey would have been quitecramped since families werelarge. Life would have beenextremely difficult in this youngtown.
What are you doing for enter-tainment this weekend? Watchingthe Patriots? Playing a DVD? Howmany of you remember when thething to do on Saturday afternoonwas to head to Danielson for amovie? Do any of you recall see-ing “Bedknobs and Broomsticks”or “Captain Nemo and theUnderwater City” at theDanielson Cinema? They wereplaying in April 1972 (WindhamCounty Transcript 4/20/12).Perhaps you might have beenplanning to go dancing. A glanceat the old ads brought forth a num-ber of possibilities. Does anyoneremember Peter Frye and his one-man band that played everySunday evening at the AmericanLegion on Furnace Street? (WCT2/3/1972). Perhaps you attended apolka night at St. Joseph center tobenefit the St. Ignatius buildingfund with music by the HappyBachelors Orchestra (WCT2/10/12). It was still the era whenyou could dance the night away atWildwood Park. Perhaps you havefond memories of one of these
dances: Greek and AmericanMusic and Dancing sponsored bythe Danielson Chapter of AHEPAfeaturing the Levendes andSalamba the Oriental dancer onApril 29, 1972 or Polka Night withHappy Louie on May 6, 1972 or thesecond annual SpringtimeFestival Ball with the JohnnyDymo Orchestra (WCT 4/20/72).I’m sure that many of you couldmention dances that you attendedat Wildwood. Don’t hesitate toshare your memories.
During the 1960’s and 70’s therewere also many small local bands.One has reunited to become theGreat Garage Band Reunion. JimMilliard was kind enough to sharesome of its history. The followinghas been extracted from what hesent me. “The history of theGGBR has been a unique storyfrom day one back in 1964. Theoriginal members all lived on thesame street in Danielson. JimMilliard, Tory Averna and DickHerklots virtually grew up togeth-er. My memory fails me when I tryto think back as to what caused usto originally get together, but I dobelieve that we were in highschool band together and invitedRonnie Perreault, Roland Chabot,and Wayne Poirier to join us. Wecalled ourselves the Continentals,with white pants, flaming redjackets and white ascots and ofcourse the “Beatle” boots and redberet to top off the outfit. The out-fit was key, because our musicwasn’t that great, and we sort ofconfused our audience who fig-ured if they’re dressed like that,who really cares what they soundlike. We actually won theCommunity Auditions talentshow and we were invited to playon their Sunday morning pro-gram on WBZ in Boston. We madeit no farther in that competition,but our fans back home squintedand moved the rabbit ears to catcha glimpse of a local band on sucha renown(ed) show. We alsohooked up through Dick withAdmiral Jack, who was an alliga-tor wrestler from Florida whonow hosted an afternoon ThimbleTheater kid’s program out ofChannel 8 in New Haven. Weappeared on Jack’s show a coupleof times and performed as hisroad band and opening act as hetoured southern Connecticut dur-ing the summer and fall. Life wasgood and we didn’t even have ourlicenses yet. We did some gigs onLong Island and along theConnecticut shore and still main-tained a presence in the northeastcorner.
About the end of 1965 Dick
decided to leave the band alongwith Wayne and we eventuallychanged our name to The Rouges.We added Ronnie Aubin on key-boards and John Mathieu on bassand continued on playing in CTand RI schools and clubs. We didblock dances all over the area thelast summer we were together. Ileft for college and Tory and Johneventually ended up in Vietnamsoon after that.
Fast forward to 2001. I’m at afuneral for a long time friend andmusician Doug Ingalls. Doug and Ihad worked together back in the70’s in the local area and his pass-ing was way too early. Doug’s lifehad touched many a musician inhis career and I wasn’t surprisedto meet Tory there. Before we leftwe considered putting a bandreunion together to benefit some-thing in honor of Doug Ingalls.”
After calling a number offriends the GGBR came into beingand has been going strong eversince, playing for benefit concertsaround the region.
The Great Garage BandReunion will be playing for aWarm Hearts Warm Homes con-cert to benefit the KillinglyBrooklyn Interfaith Council com-munity fuel fund on Saturday, Nov.17, at 7 p.m. at the BradleyPlayhouse in Putnam. Also on theprogram will be Stanley & Libera,Gifts to Come (Ukulele Girls), andHannu Makipuro (the singing bar-ber from Willimantic).

A year to the day since the October 29, 2011snowstorm, Quiet Corner residents experi-enced some déjà vu Monday, Oct. 29, butinstead of early, heavy snow, Hurricane Sandybrought heavy winds and driving rain, andleft most of the region without power.
While power outages were reported byConnecticut Light & Power throughout theregion, the loss was minor and short livedcompared to previous storms. Though skieswere sunny Tuesday, Oct. 30, residents in cer-tain areas of Woodstock, Thompson and otherQuiet Corner towns were left without electric-ity well into Tuesday, as clean up crewsfocused on the harder hit coastal region.
Emergency shelters were opened inWoodstock and Pomfret, the two towns mostaffected by the storm, where citizens coulduse power, take showers and obtain drinkingwater.

Remembering our veterans
Veterans Day is fast approach-ing.It is an official federal holi-day, although many
Americans forget its significance.My reason for writing this article is
to remind all of us why there is aVeterans Day holiday in the firstplace.
It began as Armistice Day, recog-nized as such by Congress in 1938.Armistice Day references the signingof Germany’s surrender at the end ofWorld War I (the “war to end allwars”) at the 11th hour, on the 11thday of the 11th month in 1918. Thiswas before America’s involvement inthe cataclysm of World War II.
Efforts were made to create a holi-day in 1945 in order to remember allveterans, not just those who hadserved in World War I. Congressenacted in 1954 a name change ofArmistice Day to Veterans Day, withPresident Eisenhower’s strong sup-port.
In 1971, through legislation blandlynamed the Uniform Monday HolidayAct, Congress moved Veterans Day tothe 4th Monday of October in order tocreate a three-day holiday weekend. Itwas moved back to its current Nov. 11date in 1978.
Veterans Day and Memorial Dayare the only two holidays duringwhich America officially honorsthose who have served in the armedforces and those who have died in mil-itary service. However, every dayshould be a day for us to remembernot only those who over the years andgenerations have served our country,but those who are doing so right now.This is no more poignant than asAmerica is still engaged in militaryactions of all kinds and has manytroops stationed around the world inplaces familiar and unfamiliar, friend-ly and unfriendly, near and far.
Our veterans and soldiers may notask for recognition. We may know lit-tle about what they have done and aredoing as we focus on our own busylives. But, such does not diminish thegratitude we owe them. Whether or
not we agree with military policies orspending, we all agree that we mustsupport the men and women in uni-form who voluntarily stand on sentry(there is no mandatory draft, after all)to protect us from those who continu-ously intend us harm – 9/11 and theongoing security threats not beingforgotten.
Think about how precious our lib-erty is and how many people else-where do not have it. We are free tovote in elections, as evidenced by theelections just held in every communi-ty across America. When there aredifferences among us, Americans donot settle things through militarycoups d’etat, but rather by the courtsadjudicating the rule of law and peo-ple peaceably following the law even ifthey disagree with it.
We enjoy the freedoms to expressour individual religious beliefs, tospeak our minds, and to gather withothers in places of our own choosing.How often we take for granted therights outlined in the Declaration ofIndependence, the Bill of Rights, andthe Constitution. But, as world histo-ry and even U.S. history have shown –and current world events remind usevery day – such freedoms do not existby themselves. They require people todefend them at all times. Until there isa day that we can truly and realisti-cally beat all swords into plowshares,then our country must make bothswords and plowshares. We mustinvest smartly in our military and wemust think wisely and carefullybefore we put American soldiers inharm’s way. Teddy Roosevelt, the 26thPresident, spoke very well when he
said, “speak softly but carry a bigstick”.
Memorial Day is more than just asole reminder of the high cost libertyand security exact. It is also areminder that a civil society is neithercivil nor a society if there are onlysome rights for some people some ofthe time. We all must do our part tokeep strong all of our rights and lib-erties for all citizens all of the time.
My own words do not dare comeanywhere near the eloquence of the16th President, Abraham Lincoln,when in 1863 at the Gettysburg battle-field he said, “we can not dedicate, wecan not consecrate, we can not hallowthis ground. The brave men, livingand dead, who struggled here, haveconsecrated it, far above our poorpower to add or detract. The worldwill little note, nor long rememberwhat we say here, but it can never for-get what they did here. It is for us theliving, rather, to be dedicated here tothe unfinished work which they whofought here have thus far so noblyadvanced. It is rather for us to be herededicated to the great task remainingbefore us—that from these honoreddead we take increased devotion tothat cause for which they gave the lastfull measure of devotion—that wehere highly resolve that these deadshall not have died in vain—that thisnation, under God, shall have a newbirth of freedom—and that govern-ment of the people, by the people, forthe people, shall not perish from theearth”.
For those veterans who are passedon – you are remembered. For thoseveterans who are among us and forthose who are serving now – thankyou.

Our family’s ‘fur babies’There are cat people. There are
dog people. There are pet people.
I guess we qualify as pet peoplegiven the variety of creatures thathave resided with us over the years —cats, dogs, hamsters, guinea pigs,cockatiels, and a domesticated rat. Wecurrently have three cats and threedogs. I believe cats are much easierpets to own, but, for the most part, I’dhave to say I’m a dog person.
As a child I had a white toy poodle –Blondie. I have fond memories of her.Sadly, she was struck by a car the firstand only time she ran from the yard,the result of someone in the neighbor-hood setting off firecrackers whichterrified her.
Once an adult, my desire to haveanother dog was pretty strong. Dadwas deployed for Desert Storm and Iwas pregnant with our first child.This time I wanted a red poodle, whichwasn’t the easiest color to find. Somepeople think they are brown, andwhile there are brown ones, reds aredistinctly different, at least to my eye.Back in ’90-’91, we didn’t have the lux-ury of nearly immediate accessthrough texting, e-mailing or Skype,so getting Dad’s feedback on my desireto get a dog required writing a letterand waiting for a response, eitherthrough snail mail or a rare phone callhome.
Dad called. He didn’t think it gettinga dog was such a good idea. When I
replied with, “Oh” hecame back with, “Oh? Oh,you already got the dog.”Indeed, I had. A teeny,tiny, red female toy poo-dle with a name biggerthan she was – MercedesMonterey Auburn.Mercedes – the closest I’dever get to owning one; Monterey – theabsolutely beautiful area where wewere first stationed; Auburn – hercolor. She weighed one pound, threeounces.
Our son was born in April 1991.Boney, as she came to be called, anappropriate nickname due to her size,was his stroller mate and crib mate.Wherever he went, she went. At herfull adult weight, she was four pounds,six ounces. She sat in the stroller withhim, in the basket beneath it and evenon the hood of the stroller. Becauseshe was so small, she didn’t collapsethe hood closed.
Dad returned from Desert Storm intime for our son’s birth, then returnedto Ft. Hood. I soon followed with ourson and dog. I boarded a flight with afour week old and a puppy, both ofwhom, thankfully, were relativelysilent the entire time.
Poodles are a relatively smartbreed. I trained Boney to ring a stringof bells hung on a door knob when sheneeded to go out. Because she was sosmall, she traveled easily. Once I sat inmy car, she’d climb up behind my
neck and sit between meand the car seat, lookingout the driver’s side win-dow. She would sometimessit in the large front pocketof my hoodie. She wouldbring me the baby’s burpcloth if it fell off my shoul-der. She’d pick it up care-
fully, draped like a large white mous-tache and walk it to me.
In 2003, we noticed she was begin-ning to have breathing issues. Ilearned that small dogs sometimeshave mitral valve issues. The last timeI took her to our vet, she spent the daybeing assessed. In the afternoon, I wastold she wasn’t getting better with themedications. The doctor couldn’tguarantee she wouldn’t pass in thenight and couldn’t guarantee shewouldn’t suffocate if we brought herhome. She’d never spent a night awayfrom us, not in a kennel and not at ahospital. I wasn’t going to have herspend her first night alone, sick andpossible passing away. The heart-breaking decision was made to giveher a peaceful, controlled passing.Our entire family and my motherwent to say our goodbyes and I heldher as she transitioned.
The car ride home was silent andwe went about our evening in thesame manner. At some point I realizedI couldn’t find our oldest son. He’dchosen to be alone in the darkened liv-ing room. He’d lost his first playmate.
The sadness was palpable.The pain was unbearable. Dad said,
“There’ll never be another Boney.” Ithought that was it for me with dogs.That wasn’t to be the case. We soonadopted a Golden Retriever/YellowLab mix, Max, who is now nine. Someof you may have seen him as Sandy atthe Bradley a few years back. And, asluck would have it, while waitressingat Stateline, I had a customer whobred, of all things, red poodles. Myheart jumped when I learned that thelitter consisted of one female and sev-eral males. The female was mine.
Autumn Apple Harvest came homein October 2004. A few months later, Isaw the breeder who mentioned shestill had two of her brothers. I replied,“Oh! Please don’t tell me that!” I haveabsolutely no willpower when itcomes to puppies. Jackson BrownBear came home in March 2005. Withthe exception of Max and one of ourcats, there seems to be a pattern of meacquiring animals when Dad is away.
I consider these family members tobe fur babies. I know some of you willunderstand that completely. You mayhave seen me walking through townwith all three of the dogs, though Maxis no longer able to walk the length ofmy route. I typically head out with thepoodles – one leash, with a doublelead. They are inseparable. LastMonday, while Autumn and Jack wereplaying as though they’re still pup-pies, as they’ve done all their lives,Jack jumped from my lap, a jump he’smade a thousand times before. Only
this time, the landing was disastrous.His human-like scream was enough toget our son’s attention from hisupstairs bedroom. Beginning with thepanicked call to the vet that evening,my days have revolved around hiscare, recovery, and well-being. He istemporarily (hopefully) partially par-alyzed on his hindquarters. Herequires 24/7 crating for 1-2 months(unless he is right with me, super-vised, on a soft surface) and carryingin and out for toileting. He’s adaptingto his new restricted life as well ascould be expected, as are we. Giventhat my initial fear was that I wasgoing to have to put him down, I ambeyond grateful for the small improve-ments and can’t wait to walk thestreets with him again. If you see us,stop and say hello. I’ll apologize nowfor the wet doggie kisses.

Tales from the barbershopAs a little boy, I
was often toldI should be
seen and not heard.But under my
breath I used to hateevery sixth Saturdayduring the schoolyear. Then, it wastime for a haircut.
No matter howearly I arrived there, five or six wereahead of me. The wait cut severelyinto my playtime. Of course theseSaturdays were always sunny, neverrainy or snowy.
There was another hurdle I had tojump. Each haircut day my Momwould reluctantly press a quarterinto my hand. And each haircut daythe barber would boom, “TELLYOUR MOTHER IT’S 35 CENTS ON
SATURDAYS.”He never got the
extra dime, since hewas paid at the end ofthe haircut and heknew better than toask a Depression-agekid for 10 whole cents.Naturally, my spend-ing money hasincreased substantial-
ly since the 30s, but so has the priceof haircuts.
My Rhode Island barber nowcharges $13, and he gets every dimeof it. You may wonder why I travelall the way to Rhode Island every sixweeks. Well, the truth is I’ve knownthis guy a long time and he’s knownmy hair a long time. I simply don’tcare for visiting an unknown barberand spending the time explaining
just how I’d prefer my haircut. Theyalways want to part it. I don’t want itparted. Plus, they never wish to trimmy beard down to nearly nothing. Idon’t want it as a permanent orna-ment. Its sole purpose is helping meavoid sting razor burn on my neck.I’d rather just climb into the chairand read my newspaper while hebuzzes and clips away the $13.
It’s surprising, though, how muchthe barbershop scene has changedover the years in addition to pricing.I’ve initiated one myself. I never goon Saturdays any more. That’s stillthe wait-an-hour day for your turn.Fridays are much better. I some-times find nobody in the shopbesides the barber. Yet he goes homeat two o’clock now since longerhours sort of infringed upon hisSocial Security payments.
One of my adult benefits was get-ting rid of that confounded boosterseat. This barbershop assistanceenabled me to catch a good deal ofribbing from my pals since none ofthe others required a boost in thechair. Come to think of it, a strangebarber might still calculate thatsuch a seat was essential for me.
When I embarked upon myteenaged dating years I enjoyed thespray of one of the colored bottles ofhair tonic. It was similar to radiat-ing the manly odor of shavinglotion; a distinct wedge at the timewhere the older girls were con-cerned. However, this isn’t a chaircut bonus any longer. Oh the mix-ture remains available but a cus-tomer must pay extra for it. Um, nothank you. I can’t recall anybodyasking for it. THE LAST TIME I SAT
IN THE CHAIR I WASN’T EVENOFFERED WATER!
Used to be a guy could get a bar-bershop shave. The advent of AIDSand the possibility of blood contam-ination has doomed that nicestraight-razor touch. I managed tohave one just before the ban wentinto effect. Honestly, I never had amore pleasant or closer shave.
Before signing off, I might ask ifanyone around here has ever seenmen singing in a barbershop. I neverhave. Did they really do that in a bar-bershop? I’ve witnessed the mascu-line version of a gossip session butthat’s about it. Can you tell me any-thing?

This is Stacie! She is an incredi-bly friendly and playful four-year-old girl. With her super soft gray fur,white belly and feet, and brightgreen eyes she is a particularlybeautiful one.
Jovial and round, Stacie’s person-ality is contagious. She came to theshelter in June of 2009, frightenedand shy. Today, she is neither ofthose things. She has adjusted verywell to her change in surroundings,although it did take her some time,and plenty of apparently therapeu-tic window-watching.
At the shelter she is notorious forher cuddliness (she loves to be heldfor long periods of time), as well asher affection for rolling onto her
back and having her tummyrubbed. When Stacie is happy it ishard not to be happy along with her.
She would do well in a home withother pets or with young children aswell.
This true love-bug is FIV/FeLVnegative, has been spayed, and is upto date on her vaccines.
If you would like to adopt Stacieand give her a real family, please callthe PAWS number (860) 480-1104.Adoption hours are from 10 a.m. to 2p.m. Tuesday and Thursday and 11-3pm on Saturdays or by appoint-ment.

My brain was itchingto think aboutsomething newwhen I spotted an
announcement for a TED con-ference in Boston.
I jumped at the chance toattend and after receiving myticket, I headed up the MassPike to attend a program of “ideas worth spreading.”
By the endof the day, mymind wasbuzzing withideas generat-ed by 20speakers whohad 18 min-utes to extoltheir ideas. I’dlike to share afew.
TED, whichstands forTechnolog y,
Entertainment and Design,began in 1984 in California. Thefirst conference was held in1990. The event I attended wasorganized as an independentTED with Boston area sponsorsand organizers. I was pleasedwhen I was informed that myattendance was being spon-sored, although it seemed thateveryone else at the event alsowent for free. Last year thetheme was lifelong learning.This year it was re-imaginingAmerica.
I wrote recently about physi-cal tattoos. Then I heard JuanEnriquez talk about the digitaltattoos we are leaving that willlive on long after we are gone.We have generated 1.8 zettabytesabout ourselves on computers.Jacqueline Salit discussed theindependent movement – 40 per-cent of American voters seethemselves as independents,who want to vote in primariesbut are really anti- political par-ties. What a challenge!
Robert Hildreath discussedthe terrible burden of studentloan debt, more than $1 trillion,affecting 36 million people. Heprojected it will create a crisisthat will bring down a numberof colleges and change others.While he was speaking, a clockshowed that in 18 minutes thedebt increased by $3 million.
The roster of speakers fea-tured several Harvard profes-sors, including RohitDeshponde, who lead a casestudy into the reasons the staffof the Taj hotel in Mumbairemained at their posts whenterrorists attacked and heldover 1000 guests hostage. Hefound that the Tata grouprecruited high school graduatesfrom small towns, trained themto be ambassadors for the guestsrather than for the hotel andrewarded them within 48 hourswith personal recognition.
Kurt Andersen, of publicradio fame, zeroed in on some-thing I had observed. He noticedthat styles of dress, cars, andhairdos used to change a greatdeal about every decade or so.For the past twenty years, thathas not been true. Look at thejeans and sneakers outfits,which have remainedunchanged.
In architecture, art and evenmusic, things stay the same. Hisexample in pop culture,Madonna and Lady Gaga, areremarkably similar. For the firsttime, he said, datedness has lostits power. Perhaps we are on thebrink of a “cascade of newness”according to Andersen.
After 16 speakers, I thought itodd that the last two were engi-neers. The first, Mark Drela, anMIT professor, showed us a newdesign for a passenger plane.The aircraft would use less fueland cut travel time. The engineis in the back with two aisles forseating. The audience was com-pletely focused on his com-ments.
Last of all, was AdamSteltzner, who went from per-forming in a rock band to lead-ing the effort to put Curiosity, aresearch vehicle, on Mars. Wewere ready to cheer when wesaw the tape of the actual land-ing.
I enjoyed seeing the speakersin person, but these ideas areaccessible for free to anyonewith a computer atwww.ted.com.
When television feels like awasteland and magazines disap-pear into the ether, we can hearsome of the most creative peoplein the country talk about ideas. Ipromise it will make your brainfeel livelier.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Support your neighbors in need
To the Editor:As a new resident of Pomfret, I would like to
express my feelings about this community.After the loss of my husband and other unfortu-
nate situations, I needed to relocate to Connecticut.Prior to making my final decision, my daughterintroduced me, by phone, to her massage therapistSue Larose.
Sue said many nice things about Pomfret, but theone that stood out the most was, when she said,“Don’t worry about moving here, there is a wholecommunity waiting for you.”
Can you imagine how comforting that was? I wasalone making a difficult move from North Carolina.Many times I repeated those words, it reassured methat I was going to be just fine.
Not long after I settled down, Sue asked if I wouldmeet her at the Pomfret Senior Center. There, sheintroduced me to a few people and immediately, Ifelt a warm and enthusiastic welcome. I wasamazed how well organized and how many plannedactivities there were.
They have a Wii game with bowling. They teamup to compete with the Thompson seniors. EveryThursday is bingo with prizes; daily card games
and board games; homemade pickle, potato saladand pie contests; pumpkin carving; crochet, knit-ting and quilting; educational speakers includinglife saving, health, safety and emergency educa-tion; there are monthly lunches, blood pressure day,flu shot day, group trips, croquet and most recentFriday movies.
Sometimes when speaking to family and friends,not from this area, I mistakenly refer to the PomfretSenior Center as the Club. It is a place to socialize,be with other people, learn and have fun. No one isa stranger at this Center, real down to earth people.
Moving to Pomfret is the best thing I could havedone, Sue was right. Thank you Pomfret for makingme feel so welcomed in your community.
To the many seniors who are not yet attendingany of the activities at the Pomfret Senior Center,you are missing so much, for you too “a whole othercommunity is waiting for you.” Come on in, havecoffee and visit with us. I for one would like to meetyou.

Enough,already
Idon’t know about you, but I can’t wait forNov. 6 — because I’m sick and tired ofelection season.
Now, I know what you are thinking — “ButAdam, you’re a journalist, covering politics ispart of your job!”
Covering it is one thing —dealing with it, as a citizen, issomething else entirely.
It’s the constant junk mailin my mailbox, whichinevitably heads straight tothe garbage can. It’s the con-stant e-mails and commer-cials that are less and lessabout asserting what a candi-date believes in and more andmore about why peopleshouldn’t vote for their oppo-nent. It’s the constant nega-tivity. It’s watching debatesfilled with so-called “facts,”and candidates constantly
saying, “That’s not true.” It’s the zingers, one-liners and attacks that make candidates lookmore like fighting fifth graders than leaders ofour country.
It’s hard to know what to believe when can-didates are constantly accusing each other ofmaking up their own truth.
Now, I know what I believe, and I knowwhom I am voting for. No amount of “cam-paigning,” “debating” or even “fact creating”is going to change my mind — but to an unde-cided voter, this election season has been acacophony of confusion, unanswered ques-tions and frustration. Thinking nationally,someone on the fence has had to endure (and Iuse the word “endure” for a reason, becausetrying to watch the debates has been a chore,at best) debates filled with aggression andvenom that mask the questions being asked.
Honestly, the news doesn’t make it any bet-ter. Constant chatter from random talkingheads about the minutest minutiae? I’d ratherwatch a blank screen.
I say all this sounding pretty snarky andcondescending, and I should probably back offa bit, because the elections, especially on thestate level, have been quite interesting. Aspart of my job, I interact with our local politi-cians on a regular basis, and for the most part,they’re all great — so it’s not all doom andgloom here.

SOUND OFFS
Band comments ‘harsh and unwarranted’SOUND OFF:In response to a Sound Off in your Oct. 12 issue, I
strongly disagree with your reader who felt the twobands at St. Mary’s Circle of Fun, Synergy &Breaking Instinct, were “disgusting – rotten, andtoo loud.”
I agree, Breaking Instinct had some issues withtheir sound equipment in the beginning, but fortheir debut performance, they did an outstandingjob.
Perhaps they were loud because they’re a rock
band. They played many cover songs, so if yourreader did not understand what they were singingabout, perhaps he/she should listen to the radio toget a clue.
I applaud St. Mary’s for allowing these young menan opportunity to perform and hope to see morenew bands perform in the future. Everyone is enti-tled to his/her opinion, but I think your reader’scomments about the two bands were harsh andunwarranted.

THE MINOR
DETAILS
Oct. 21-27 is National Save forRetirement Week, established byCongress to remind Americansof the importance of — youguessed it — saving for retire-ment.
So why not mark the occasionby considering ways in whichyou can boost your own financialresources for those years inwhich you’re officially a“retiree”?
If you’re somewhat concernedabout your financial prospectsduring retirement, you’re notalone. Check out a few of thefindings from the EmployeeBenefit Research Institute’s 2012Retirement Confidence Survey:
Just 14 percent of workers arevery confident they will haveenough money to live comfort-ably in retirement.
Sixty percent of workersreport that the total value oftheir household’s savings andinvestment, excluding the valueof their primary home and anydefined benefit plans, is less than$25,000.
More than half of workersreport that they and/or theirspouse have not tried to calculatehow much money they will needto live comfortably in retire-ment.
In these challenging economictimes, it can be challenging topay your living expenses andstill have money left over to savefor retirement. But you can takesome steps to help your cause.Here are a few to consider:
Pay yourself first. Every time
you get paid, move some money— even if it’s only a smallamount — from your checking orsavings account into an invest-ment. Make it easier on yourselfby having your bank move themoney automatically.
Boost your 401(k) contribu-tions. Whenever you salary goesup, increase your 401(k) contri-butions. Your money can growon a tax-deferred basis, whichmeans it can accumulate fasterthan if it were placed in aninvestment on which you paidtaxes every year.
“Max out” on your IRA. Evenif you have a 401(k), you’re prob-ably still eligible to contribute toan IRA — and you should. A tra-ditional IRA can grow taxdeferred, while a Roth IRA’searnings are tax-free, providedyou’ve had your account at leastfive years and you don’t start tak-ing withdrawals until you’re atleast 59 1/2. For 2012, you cancontribute up to $5,000 to yourIRA, or $6,000 if you’re 50 orolder.
Control your debts. It’s nevereasy, but try to reduce your debtsas much as possible. The less
money you need to devote to debtpayments, the more you can addto your investments.
Build an emergency fund. Tryto build an emergency fund con-taining six to 12 months’ worthof living expenses, kept in a liq-uid account. This fund can helpyou avoid dipping into yourretirement accounts to help payfor unexpected costs, such as abig doctor’s bill, a new furnaceor a costly car repairs.
Create a retirement incomestrategy. It’s important to projectyour living expenses duringretirement. Then, once you haveat least a good estimate, you cancreate a long-term strategy —involving your investments,retirement accounts, SocialSecurity benefits and all otherfinancial resources — to helpyou achieve the retirementincome you will need. To calcu-late these figures and developsuch a strategy, you may want towork with a financial advisor.
National Save for RetirementWeek will come and go quickly.But your retirement could lastfor decades — so do everythingyou can to prepare yourself.

Present at the celebration wasBoard of Directors PresidentShawn Johnston, who led thenight’s event. Johnston said TheDaily Bread is fortunate to havesuch a supportive communityover the past 30 years.
“In many communities, thepeople aren’t nearly as welcom-ing to food pantries and organi-zations that provide services topeople who need a hand up. InPutnam we are blessed, our townhas always been our partner,”said Johnston.
Mayor Peter Place said DailyBread has become very specialto him over the years, as heunderstands the value of having
a food pantry like the DailyBread in Putnam, and said heappreciates all of the hardwork-ing, dedicated people who makeit possible.
“When my wife and I first gotinvolved in Daily Bread, whenwe were doing our food shop-ping, I’d always get two of some-thing, one for us and the otherfor Daily Bread,” said Place.
Thank yous were handed outduring the ceremony to foundingmembers and current membersfor their dedication and hardwork. The Putnam Knights ofColumbus were also present dur-ing the celebration and present-ed IHSP with a check for $800.

White ready to challenge Williams for Senate
“But it’s not that and I think we are seeingit now, with the high taxes and theresponse of the people — in that govern-ment has to limit itself to what we are ableto sustain it with, in terms of the portionof our income that goes to taxes.”
The state government, according toWhite, can only thrive as much as its resi-dents are able to have the economic oppor-tunity to thrive themselves.
“And they have their limits,” saidWhite.
White said that, in light of $1.5 billionin new and increased taxes enacted in2011, taxpayers are “maxed out” and ques-tioning where the money is going.
“When I ask [constituents] what theythink we should do, they say ‘Number one— stop spending outside of the role of theresponsible government,’” said White.
One of the major factors that Whitesaid she would bring to the Capitol as a“fresh candidate” is an unfettered focus onthe economic needs of the people and thebusinesses of Connecticut.
“I would be free to be pro-people, andpro-business, because I am not part of apolitical machine. I am not a part of oblig-ations or deals or expectations,” she said.“Being a change from the ‘status quo’means I am truly able to think indepen-dently to serve the best interest of the peo-ple and the state and to have the freedomto establish relationships in the State
Senate where I could encourage other rep-resentatives to do that, which is in the bestinterest of the citizens.”
White said that she has witnessed, inspeaking with constituents of the district,a concern over the breakdown in the rela-tionship between the elected and the elec-tors.
“There is an exchange that goesbetween the elected and the voter — that isto be to the benefit of the citizens of thestate. The role of the elected is truly to bea public servant and look to the residents’best interest,” said White.
With the state’s budget deficit atincreasingly daunting levels, White saidthat the solution cannot be derived fromasking residents to kick in more in taxesor fund programs that go above what thegovernment is constitutionally obligatedto do. She said government officials needto study what has worked in the past to seewhat policy allows individuals to flourisheconomically as well as allowing the gov-ernment to sustain itself.
“We need to focus on which taxes wouldbring relief to residents, while simultane-ously bringing in revenue. My belief isthat tax relief equals revenue increase,and revenue increase equals tax relief,”said White.
A large portion of White’s campaignhas focused on her desire to change the“status quo” in Harford.
When her opponent, Williams — whohas held his Senate seat for 10 consecutiveterms — was endorsed by the NorwichBulletin for providing “strong legislative
leadership,” White took exception to whatshe believes was the dismissal of the bene-fit her past experience may bring to statelevel leadership.
“I would say that his leadership skillsare unfortunately being misused, but theythink that the status quo should continue.Of course there are many who believe justthe opposite — that we are going to contin-ue with the same level of malaise in theeconomy and that there may well indeedbe more tax increases,” she said.
White said that business owners wouldcontinue to be wary of hiring until thereis concrete evidence that tax policy andfiscal discipline in the state is stabilized.
White said that if she is elected, shewould look to other states that have beensuccessful in keeping taxes low while pro-viding services to residents, along withstudying what has worked in the past. Shesaid Connecticut must also become morecompetitive with neighboring states, inorder to increase and retain revenue aswell as residents who may leave under theburden of high taxes and low employment.
White said that she would encouragefellow representatives to looks to statesthat have paved the way with successful,albeit creative, programs to increase fiscalstability and the job market – and truly“think outside of the box.”
“We need to strategically work withstate offices to look for solutions to ourstate’s problems that will boost and givepeople confidence,” said White. “Rightnow, people are discouraged and fed up.”
According to White, to find the neces-
sary solutions to fiscal and economic pro-grams, the government may need to stopasking what it should do and start focus-ing on what it should not do.
“And the government shouldn’t be aburden to economic activity,” she said.
Along with pushing tax reform, Whitesaid if elected she would want audits con-ducted at state agencies to promote over-sight and identify waste and fraud.
“We need to challenge assumptions andfind practical, sustainable solutions,” shesaid.
The solution Connecticut residents arecalling for loudly ahead of the election isto the lackluster economy that has beenslow to restart.
“Don [Williams] said that we are helddown by the national economy,” chargedWhite. “But I challenge that – it’s not anexcuse.”
White said that while the national econ-omy is impacted by what is occurring glob-ally, it’s primarily made up by the produc-tivity of each of the 50 states.
“Right now, Connecticut is not con-tributing positively to the national econo-my,” said White. “It’s not what the nation-al economy is doing to us, but what we aredoing for ourselves.”

Rovero discusses priorities, looks ahead to next term
at the state you have your idea andeveryone else has a different one.It seems like many times [legisla-tors] are supposed to follow theleader and I am not one to dothis.”
In the last two years, the long-time Democrat has kept his headdown, voting his consciencerather than on party lines, andadmittedly ruffling the feathers ofsome of his party members alongthe way.
“The main one was the budgetitself,” said Rovero, of opposing aDemocrat sponsored measure.
“I voted against it both times. Ithought there needed to be cutsthat weren’t there, and in fact,instead of cutting in places westarted new programs. There weretoo many tax increases and notenough cuts,” said Rovero.
In his next term, Rovero said hewould not vote to raise taxesagain. The Legislature approved$1.5 billion in new and increasedtaxes last year, in an effort to com-bat the embattled state’s everincreasing deficit. With the Office
of Fiscal Analysis warning inearly October that state revenuesmay experience millions of dol-lars in drops in the next two years,the deficit may increase to nearly$200 million dollars — above whatwas initially anticipated.
Rovero said that more cannotbe taken out of taxpayers’ pock-ets. He has promised to focus onjob creation and helping smallbusinesses to succeed in his nextterm, while the national and glob-al economies work toward recov-ery.
“We need to start by passingregulations and cutting back ontaxes,” he said. “With an economylike this one we just cannot con-tinue to take the money out ofpeople’s pockets.”
Since taking on his role in theHouse, Rovero has held seats onthe Public Safety and SecurityCommittees.
“It was interesting – I gotinvolved in people’s rights to ownguns. I am a big supporter of theState Police as well, and we shouldnot be cutting back on them, espe-cially in a time where there ishigh crime,” he said.
Moving forward, Rovero said
he would continue to supportDemocratic Gov. Dannel Malloy’sagenda on education reform andmanufacturing technology.
He congratulated fellowDemocrat and Senate PresidentPro-Tempore Donald Williams Jr.(D-Brooklyn) on his success inbringing initiatives like the newManufacturing Center atQuinebaug Valley CommunityCollege to the northeastern cor-ner of the state. Williams isopposed in the November electionby Sally White, the Republicancandidate for the 29th SenateDistrict seat. White is endorsed byboth the Republican andIndependent parties and is run-ning on a platform of tax reformand a more responsible govern-ment.
While Rovero supports educa-tion initiatives, he said jobsremain equal in priority.
“As much as I realize everyonehas to have an education in oneway or the other – we can have allof the education we want but ifthere are no jobs for those educat-ed people, then why did we do it?”said Rovero.
With job creation a primary
focus for most candidates on theballots this year, Rovero has some“tough-love” advice for jobhunters facing an uphill battlefinding their employment ofchoice.
“We have to change people’swork habits,” he said. “We got thisidea that we can be picky some-how, but for a while, some peoplemay have to do something thatthey don’t necessarily want to doin order to survive and provide.”
Rovero said his focus now, andin the future, would be to advocatefor his constituents to keep taxesdown and “get money into peo-ple’s pockets.”
He also said he wants to see thetax revenues spent on the itemsthey were intended to be. He citedthe gas tax, something he said isconstantly raided for uses otherthat road improvements andinfrastructure repair.
For another example of thegovernment’s misguided use oftax monies, Rovero said one needlook no further than the ProbateCourts.
“We turned around and we con-solidated all of the Probate Courtsto save money, but it hurts the
seniors who have to travel fur-ther,” said Rovero. “The consoli-dation is good because it savedmoney, and that’s good because wecannot continue to mortgage ourchildren’s future – but then themoney was used to start new pro-grams. That money should havebeen used to attack the deficit.Why would you hurt seniors andthen start new programs?” saidRovero.
Most importantly, Rovero saidDemocrats and Republicans needto start making real bipartisanefforts in the House and Senate.
“We just have to –— no oneparty has all of the answers. Andno one party has a monopoly ongood ideas,” said Rovero.“Legislation shouldn’t be aboutwho gets the credit, it’s about get-ting the job done. I try to vote‘common sense’ because I repre-sent the people – not the party.”

KILLINGLY — Five Plainfieldrunning backs combined for 230rushing yards and their defenseforced Killingly High quarterbackDezmond Kennawi into throwingthree interceptions in the Panthers’29-8 victory over the Redmen lastFriday.
Plainfield made a huge openingstatement in their first possession ofthe game, chewing over eight min-utes of clock while running 16 offen-sive plays before turning the ballover on downs to the Redmen.
After the opening possession thePanthers’ offense figured the
Killingly defense out. Sophomorequarterback Steve Jankowskidashed down the sideline for a 23-yard run and the first score of thegame just inside the second quarterto give Plainfield a 6-0 lead.
“It’s a border town rivalry game,”said Jankowski. “Coach was stress-ing the running game more so I readthe defensive end and cut it up andbroke it free down the sidelines forthe touchdown.”
Plainfield head coach Pat Smithwas pleased with how Jankowskiran the offense.
“For a young kid that has guidedus to a 5-2 record and 2-0 in the smalldivision,” Smith began, “he’s a nat-
ural running back, but his confi-dence is growing. He used theaggressive defense to his advantage.We had that play all night.”
Killingly’s first half offense wasstymied by two turnovers. Kennawithrew his first interception trying tohit Nick Hewitt across the middlewhen his pass sailed over his headinto the arms of Mason Delorge.Seven plays later Jankowski foundDelorge on a swing pass and 39 yardslater Plainfield had a 12-0 lead.
“We’ve been working on thoseplays all week,” said Jankowski.“Not so much the big plays or trickplays, but plays that put points onthe board and that’s what we were
able to do tonight.”Delorge emerged as Plainfield’s
top rusher gaining 71 yards on 16carries. Meanwhile, the Panthersheld Killingly running back TylerStucke to only 82 rushing yards.Jankowski was 6 of 7 passing for 109yards and two touchdowns.
“I thought we were just outplayedin all facets of the ball gametonight,” said Killingly head coachChad Neal. “They outhit us and theygot to the spots quicker than us andthey just outplayed us. We didn’thave the ball much, it was theirgame plan to ground and pound theball and they did that and we could-n’t stop them. We just didn’t play
good football at all tonight.”Killingly found the end zone only
once at the beginning of the fourthquarter. Kennawi hit a streakingHewitt for a 21-yard pass completionfor the Redmen’s only score of thegame. Overall, Kennawi had a toughnight going 8 for 26 with 145 yards,one touchdown and three intercep-tions. The Panthers turned two ofthe three interceptions into points.
“I give my kids a lot of credit, theyplayed a complete game tonight,”said Smith. “I just have to give mykids credit for executing a greatdefensive game plan. Our coachesdid a great job of calling the defensetonight.”
Top 10 finish the goal for TourtellotteBY BENJAMIN R. KIPPSPORTS CORRESPONDENT
THOMPSON — From day one currentTourtellotte boys’ cross-country head coachMike Charron has put the goal of earning atop 10 finish at the state meet a priority forhis team. Since 1999 the Tigers haven’t had atop 10 finish with a 14th place mark in 2009their most recent best, but Charron believeshis team can accomplish the goal.
“We’re shooting for a top 10 finish,” hesaid. “It’s been our goal since I’ve been thecoach for the past three seasons. There havebeen meets where we’ve reached a top 10 fin-ish. I just want to focus on the state meet.”
The season has been a bit strange for theTigers. At the beginning of the year KevinPoitras was the top runner, and then in the
middle of the season J Riley O Connell tookover. Toward the end of the season Jack OConnell has been the top finisher.
“They’ve all been very, very close,” saidCharron. “I knew Kevin and J would be upthere because they are seniors. I have beensurprised with Jack so I switched somethings.”
At the beginning of the season Charrondid have Jack train with the older kids, butafter performing well at a big meet he had tochange his approach.
“I wish I made the move sooner and he’sgot a lot of potential,” said Charron. “It was agood move for us as a team.”
The Tigers had a disappointing finish atthe Eastern Connecticut Conference (ECC)meet finishing 14th out of 18 teams. Jack per-
formed well, but as a team Tourtellotte didn’tdo their best. Seniors Cody Rogers and BenCarr ran surprisingly well for the Tigers atthe ECC meet, though.
“Jack ran well,” said Charron. “I lookedback at past times at the ECC meet and Jackhad the sixth best finish in the past 13 sea-sons. The course at Norwich Golf Course is aslow, slow course with a lot of hills.”
Charron is optimistic that the team can fin-ish top 10 at states.
“I’ve seen flashes of brilliance from all ourguys at some point during the season,” saidCharron “If everyone has their best race ofthe season by only a few seconds per guy thenwe really will go top 10. If we don’t then we’llfall past 15th, which is where we finished lastseason. I just hate to go backwards.”
Charron also feels they are a better teamthis year than last season.
“I’ve looked at our times on certain cours-es over the past three seasons and they’vebeen better,” he said. “Even though we didn’tfinish well at the ECC meet it was still thebest team time. We were 18 seconds better perguy this season than last. Our expectationsand standards have been a lot higher than inthe past.”
One thing Charron wants the team to do isto give it their 100 percent effort.
“I know it’s more mental than physical,” hesaid. “We’re working hard in practice and forwhatever reason I don’t feel like we’re givingit everything they’ve got. I think we needsome focus and that’s lacking right now.”
Underclassmen help Centaurs clinch CIAC playoff bidBY BENJAMIN R. KIPPSPORTS CORRESPONDENT
WOODSTOCK — Startingfour to six underclassmen atany given time on as consis-tent basis, the WoodstockAcademy varsity boys’ soccerteam finished the season witha 7-8-1 record. For their effortsthe Centaurs narrowlyearned a spot into theConnecticut InterscholasticAthletic Conference (CIAC)class playoffs.
“The coaches are excited,and I know the kids are excit-ed about getting into the tour-nament,” said current head
coach Jarred Morse. “It’simportant because of theleague we play in is so tough.We play teams in the mediumand small division that weneed to win in order for us toget into the playoffs. I thinkmaking the state tournamentis a big deal for this team.”
Morse feels that the finalweek of the regular seasonhas brought out the best inWoodstock.
“We played BaconAcademy to a 2-1 loss andBacon Academy is one of thebest teams in the state,” saidMorse. “The last week of the
season we’ve been playingour best — actually the pastfour games have been ourbest games of the season.Hopefully we figured out howto play at that level. We’vebeen getting maximum effortout of all our guys and that’swhat’s made the difference.”
Morse feels since the teamstarts underclassmen thatplaying consistently has beenat times tough to do, eventhough the team has beenplaying better.
“It’s one of the hardestthings about being a coach inhigh school,” said Morse.
“One day we play great thenthe next day we don’t. It’s justthe sign of a really youngteam. That’s been our biggestproblem all season.”
Junior Tim Harrington hasbeen a huge bright spot forthe Centaurs. Leading theteam in just about everyoffensive category,Harrington will have to bringhis ‘A’ game if Woodstock canget into the second round ofthe playoffs.
“He’s our best all aroundplayer in all facets of thegame,” said Morse.“Sometimes I start him at
midfield and sometimes Istart him at forward, based onwho we are playing. He has toshow up and play to his abili-ty and at his best. He was ouronly All-Star on the season.He can play with anyone inthe league, he’s been thatgood all season.”
Defensively the Centaursmay have their hands full nomatter whom they play.Heading into the playoffs,Woodstock has given up 29goals while only scoring 27,which means the defense hasto step up and play with a pur-pose.
“We seemed to be gettingscored on right at the end ofthe first half and right at thebeginning of the secondhalf,” said Morse. “It’s justthat time of the game wherewe seem to lose focus. Thatneeds to be better if we’regoing to have a chance to wina state playoff game.”
Morse is expecting to takean opposing team by surprise.
“The beauty of the statetournament is to catch a teamby surprise and sneak pastthem,” he said. “Anything canhappen in the state tourna-ment.”

The Tourtellotte varsity boys’ soccer team hosted Ellis Tech on Friday, Oct. 26for their Senior Night game. The Tigers lost a 5-0 decision, finishing their sea-son at 3-12-1. With the win Ellis Tech improved to 12-3 with a game to go,which was played after press time.
Woodstock runs to sixth place finish at State meetBY BENJAMIN R. KIPPSPORTS CORRESPONDENT
WOODSTOCK — When currentWoodstock Academy girls’ cross-country head coach Chris Dodgefirst took over the program back in2006 the team went 2-12. This pastseason, though, the Lady Centaursfinished 10-4, losing only toNorwich Free Academy and Fitch.
“It’s been the best record since2000, and it’s been the best meetrecord since I’ve been coaching,”said Dodge. “It’s just a huge step inregards to the program as a whole.”
On Saturday, Oct. 27, the LadyCentaurs participated in theConnecticut InterscholasticAthletic Conference Class MM
meet at Wickham Park inManchester.
Before the meet Dodge was opti-mistic that the girls would be ableto finish well and out of 19 teamsWoodstock placed sixth, the bestfinish since 2000. As a team theLady Centaurs cut over four min-utes off their collective times.
“This meet we had all seven girlsrun under 23 minutes, which is thefirst time that happened all sea-son,” said Dodge. “We had thatdepth and as a team and this yearespecially at the state meet, theystepped up huge today. The girlsknew what the goal was and theywere excited and they knew what[they] wanted to achieve.”
Senior Cassie Guilani wasinjured all season and was a limit-ed participant, but she ran onSaturday and finished with a timeof 21:29, good for 22nd place.
“She went out there and ran thegutsiest race I’ve ever seen,” saidDodge. “I could tell it was reallyhurting and I could tell she was inpain, and she came in second placeon the team and that was absolute-ly amazing.”
Fellow senior Kaitlyn Lane, whotypically finished in fifth or sixthplace on the team, shaved off near-ly two minutes of her time to finishas the team’s third place runnerand in 35th overall.
“I wasn’t expecting her to cut
that much time off of her race,”said Dodge. “I can’t speak highenough about all the seniors on theteam this year in regards to howwell they placed at states.”
Even before the state class meet,Dodge felt if the girls could run aperfect race they could potentiallyfinish in fifth place. Looking backafter finishing one place lower,Dodge isn’t disappointed.
“It’s not an easy class to run inwhen three teams are ranked topsin the state and the best we’ve fin-ished since I have been coaching isseventh,” said Dodge. “The factthat we finished in sixth is greatand we beat Fitch on top of every-thing. I was hoping to see a race
like today and I think for the firsttime all season they ran to theirfull potential.”
Junior Abby Lamarre wasWoodstock’s top finisher with atime of 21:20. She placed 19th over-all.
Not many people within the com-munity or even at Woodstock real-ized how good this year’s teamactually was. Dodge feels the teamran with something to prove.
“This is the best team since that2000 team, and I think they rantheir last race with a chip on theirshoulder,” he said. “I could makethe argument that this year’s teamis the second best team in the his-tory of the school.”

Villager interviews Williams as he preps for Election Day
“It’s been an honor torepresent northeasternConnecticut and fight forour part of the state. Therecent challenges we facedwith the national recessioninclude getting our econo-my moving and helping tocreate jobs. I was proud ofthe bipartisan session Ihelped lead where webrought Republicans andDemocrats together to passlegislation — programs likethe Business ExpressProgram, which helps pro-vide financing to smallbusinesses, which may findit very difficult to get loans,and the Step Up program,which provides incentivesfor employers to hire newemployees. There is also aStep Up program for veter-ans because I feel it’s veryimportant that the men andwomen returning from Iraqand Afghanistan get thehelp they deserve when itcomes to getting back intothe economy.”
Define your role as astate senator and yourcommitment to this posi-tion.
“I think it involves listen-ing, knowing our regionand the needs of our towns’schools, senior citizens andour families.”
Voters want leaderswho can get things done.The Democrats currentlyhold 22 of the 36 seats inthe State Senate,Republicans need fiveseats to take control.With a stagnant economy,high unemploymentrates, and increased taxa-tion burdening the mid-dle class, manyConnecticut voters arefrustrated and are callingfor new people to fill theGeneral Assembly. Whyshould residents of the29th District give youtheir vote?
“The most importantthing is not to be left behindas we move forward withfixing the economy andpartnering with businesses,especially small and medi-um-sized businesses. Ifought to preserve our townfunding and not do whatmany other states have andslash town aid and aid forour schools, which wouldhave significantly increasedproperty taxes. I fought forthe building blocks that willhelp our families and localeconomy.
For example, there areonly three manufacturingtraining centers in theentire state, and I pushed tomake sure one of them wasbrought to QuinebaugValley Community College.I know that technical andtrade jobs and the success ofour regional technical highschool is very important.Ellis Tech needed majorrenovations and I fought tomake sure that happened.
When it comes to help forsmall businesses we passeda variety of projects. Onething I spearheaded was theMain Street initiative,which helps towns, likePutnam, Killingly andWillimantic. Those areareas with concentratedretail areas. By improvingthose areas it will increasefoot traffic, which will helpsupport those local busi-nesses.
I hear the drum beatfrom Republican candidateswanting to pull back — theydon’t want the state to worktogether with our localtowns. I think that’s veryshort sighted. They don’trealize that most of thetown’s budgets are support-ed up to 60 percent withstate revenue. If that wereto go away we’d see skyrock-eting property taxes. Theother thing is that residentsof the northeast deservegood schools, and qualityhealth care, good hospitals.They deserve the kind ofopportunities that we’ll seeQVCC and Ellis provide.”
Do you then believethat there have been mea-surable results with thework you have been doingto increase job growth,and what has and has notbeen successful so far?
“My goal is to build onthe accomplishments thatwe’ve made, and build onthe improvements we’veseen in northeasternConnecticut. I’ve worked toget real results for our fami-lies and communities. I seein the future building onbipartisan legislation that Ihelp pass that supportslocal businesses and makesure that we keep ourpromise to our senior citi-zens, we have a lot ofseniors in northeastConnecticut, so as we moveforward with aid for ourschools and businesses, Iwant to keep our promisesthat we’ve made to ourseniors.”
There is a gap betweenthose in college and thosewho have already gradu-ated. What is the state’splan to retain recentgraduates, many ofwhom have had to seekjobs outside of the state?
“That’s why the MainStreet initiative is so impor-tant. We need to breathenew life into our small busi-ness retail areas, so youngpeople involved in start-upsor who are working forsmall businesses haveopportunity. We’ve hadmany small businessesapply for assistancethrough business expressand the small business pro-gram. When you walk downmain street in Putnam orWillimantic or Danielsonyou can see the stores whohave been there for manyyears, but there are otherswho are new business pio-neers, and we need to sup-port those local businesses.It’s those businesses that
provide jobs for ouryounger employees, and asthose main streets comeback to life it will create atype of community atmos-phere that is appealing toall ages.
The Pumpkin Festival inPutnam, the Harvest andHops Festival in Danielson,and all the people who cameout there was an electricitywe saw in the communitybecause of those events. Ifyou’re in Putnam on aThursday, Friday orSaturday night it’s justjammed. That’s the kind ofatmosphere all ages appre-ciate, but I think young peo-ple especially like thevibrant downtown atmos-phere. That’s an area wherewe are on the right track.”
Your challenger is run-ning on a platform of taxreform, do you believethere is a need for taxreform?
“Tax reform is alwayssomething we look at andhow we can have greaterproperty tax reform. Onething I hear very often isthat property taxes priceseniors out of their homes,and make it unaffordablefor young families toremain in their homes, andwe do work hard to improvethose issues. If Sally Whitewants to propose significantchanges to our state’s taxa-tion, then I think she needsto do the math and be hon-est with the people of north-eastern Connecticut. Sheneeds to tell them whatmajor cuts she’ll make tobalance it all out — it needsto add up. Will she cut aid tomunicipalities? To ourschools? Senior citizens?These are the big-ticketitems. The voters deserve tohear the specifics if the taxburden is going to be shiftedaround.
The other thing I dis-agree with is the idea thatwe ought to cut vital ser-vices in exchange for givingtax breaks to wealthy peoplein Connecticut. We’re all inthis together and everyoneneeds to pay their fairshare.”
On the topic of educa-tion reform and thereform package, whatwould you like to see hap-pen as a result of theEducation Reform Bill’srecent passing?
“Data shows that the bestway to lessen the achieve-ment gap is to increaseaccess to quality preschooleducation, and to have agreater effort on ensuringthat all children can read bythird grade. If those twoinvestments were made wewould have the greatestchance of lessening theachievement gap. In thereform bill, we did providefor more resources for earlychildhood education so thatall children can be startingin the same place when theycome to school and not havesome children lagging waybehind. The wisest and
most efficient investment ofresources are in those twoareas.”
Communication duringtimes of emergency inthe state was an issue in2011 with the storms thathit our area, how has thatbeen improved?
“I saw firsthand some ofthe problems that we facedin the wake of last year’sstorms. What we saw wasthat utilities were unpre-pared, and to a certainextent you can’t prepare forevery weather emergency,but you can have plans inplace to keep local govern-ments informed so they canrelay the information to thepublic, and that was not
done. Immediately after thestorms I made sure webrought everyone in, andhad hearings inviting localselectmen to come in andprovide feedback. So nowthe local utilities have toldus that they have amendedtheir plans and want to do amuch better job in thefuture. The proof will behow things work the nexttime there is a weatheremergency. I’m hoping thatthey learned from last yearand can perform at a muchhigher level.”
If that does not hap-pen, is there any account-ability placed on them? Isthat even the role of thestate government, to holdthem accountable?
“Absolutely. After the lastweather emergencies we satdown with CL&P represen-tatives, and even though itwas not required we saidthey needed to make restitu-tion to some of the peoplewho had suffered the most.So that kind of approach ina more formal way may bethe way we go if there is notimprovement in the future.”

BMX event a first for downtown Danielson
show that we could all get together, ride, andto show our love of riding BMX. The responsewas overwhelming — by the end of the day Iwas speechless, it was really exciting.” saidGoldy.
A representative from ESPN.com thatworks on a portion of the sport network’s sitespecifically dedicated to BMX riding was alsopresent at Jam Chowda and made a video ofthe day’s event, which is now available forviewing at ESPN.com. Goldy said he wasimpressed by the large turnout, as the JamChowda rivaled the biggest BMX event in thecountry, Texas Toast. That event, he added,was what inspired Goldy to request that eachinvited shop bring their own obstacle.
Another objective of putting on the eventwas to help support other local businesses,which he explained were all very willing towork with him to ensure the event was a suc-cess.
“I tried to keep all the money I spent in thehands of local people and bike people. We gotthe dirt from Drock Trucking in SouthKillingly, they helped immensely. It was allcustomers of the shop mostly who helpedout,” said Goldy. “We had Pizza Pizzazz there
selling pizzas faster than they could makethem, and even the local convenient shopswere selling out of things. It was another pos-itive to have 700 people come to Danielson,which by default, helped out our local econo-my,” said Goldy.
The New England Jam Chowda raffle wasdone in an inventive way, where companieswhose merchandise is sold in The DailyGrind donated product for the raffle. Eachitem was given a number. Goldy said theywere able to obtain 196 items for raffle.
“We sold [196] raffle tickets at $5 a piece, andwe opened up the raffle table, and who everbought a ticket picked a number out of a hatand then got the matching prize. Everyone gotsomething,” said Goldy.
The raffle money, explained Goldy, went totwo different riders’ families who had passedaway in the last year, and by the end of theday the event raised $700 that was spiltbetween the two charities.
Goldy said because of this year’s successthere will be another Jam Chowda which heexpects will be bigger and better than thisyear.

RELIGION
We live in an amaz-ing countryfamous for its
God, its liberty and itsvariety.
For centuries, this com-bination has served uswell. May God give us thesense to hang on to Himand liberty so we can con-tinue to enjoy the variety.
Those of you who havehad the privilege of travel-ing the U.S. have witnessed it richness of cli-mate and geography. Most of us have sungabout the purple mountains and golden plainsin the patriotic song “America the Beautiful”.We are rich in land, in natural resources andin history. But America’s most importantresource is its people. We are a melting pot.
Did you know that:• More Jews live in America than live in
Israel.• More persons of African descent live in
America than in any country except Nigeria.• More Samoans live in America than in
Samoa.• More Hispanics live in America than in
any country except Mexico or Spain.• Within a few years more Hispanics will live
in America than the total population ofCanada.
• More Cubans live in Miami than in anycity except for Havana.
Our founding fathers embraced the idea oflegal immigration. They greeted people fromaround the world with open arms. This philos-ophy was made obvious in 1903 when a plaquewas mounted on the Statue of Liberty, which
was the first sight mostimmigrants to New Yorkwould behold. The statue islocated on Liberty Island inNew York harbor and theplaque mounted inside themonument includes thesefamous lines written byEmma Lazarus:
“Give me your tired, yourpoor, Your huddled massesyearning to breathe free,The wretched refuse of your
teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tem-pest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the goldendoor!”
America is rich in resources. We are rich ingeographical features. We are rich in history.We are rich in people groups. We have enjoyedprosperity because all this richness was nour-ished by a people who prayed for God’s bless-ings and provided a sanctuary for people toworship freely, no matter their color or creed.God has blessed this conglomeration of peopleand cultures as much as He possibly could.Pray for America that we would stay free andunder God – that is a winning combination.God has heard our prayers and responded toour free worship and made us rich.
Psalm 67:1 God be merciful unto us, andbless us; and cause his face to shine upon us;Selah.
