Pacheco’s hobby is a real turn on

BY OLIVIA RICHMANNEWS STAFF WRITER

WOODSTOCK — After retir-ing Woodstock resident Al Pacheco has found a very pro-ductive and creative way to spend his free time: Building lamps out of antiques and vin-tage finds at flea markets across New England. Surprisingly not an artist — he’s never painted, drawn or created anything in the past — Pacheco’s lamps are unique works of art that don’t look like anything you’ve ever quite seen before.

Since retiring in January from real estate and his position at Lowe’s, Pacheco has made over 30 lamps. Their house is so full of lamps that his wife suggested they start selling them.

And it all started with a gift from his wife: an old Jeep grill.

“I made a table out of it,” he said. “I didn’t know what else to do with it. It was either stick the grill on a wall or make a table. Then my wife wanted a lamp to go on it. I had all of this crazy stuff in the basement and barn. And it really went from there.”

While Pacheco’s lamps seem like high-end décor, he insists he really has “no idea why he does it.” He just finds it fun. It keeps him busy. And that’s really it.

“I just hate wasting stuff,” he said. “I hate to see this cool older stuff thrown away.”

Thompson voters nix budget again

THOMPSON — Thompson voters rejected a second attempt to pass town and education bud-gets in a referendum on June 21. Residents turned down the $7,423,043 town budget by a vote of 696 to 561. The $18,251,766 edu-cation budget was reject-ed by a vote of 785 to 472.

Together, the budgets would have required a 1.92 mill tax increase, which would have brought the mill rate to

27.98. For a home valued at $200,000, a 27.98 mill rate would be an increase of $269.

More than half of the mill increase was due to cuts in revenues from the state. The Thompson Board of Finance pre-pared the town budget while estimating major cuts to the Educational Cost Sharing grant, Municipal Revenue Sharing grant and other state grants by

using Governor Dannel Malloy’s proposed state budget. Malloy’s pro-posed increase to spe-cial education funding still leaves Thompson in deficit. The cuts of state grants require a tax increase of 1.08 mills. The Board of Finance has decided to wait until the state makes decisions on the state budget before sending taxpayers anoth-er budget.

PUTNAM — Cost estimates for Putnam’s proposed new town hall and library complex came in over budget and will stall the project for now. The boards of Finance and Selectmen have capped the spending for the project at $15 million.

The cost was estimated to be $24.6 million by architect R. Drayton Fair of LLB to design the town hall and library complex and also create designs for the armory to house a senior center, recre-ation and other town offices.

The boards of Finance and Selectmen said the estimate was unacceptable. The municipal complex would have includ-ed 6,000 square feet of space for the Aspinock Historical Society, but did not include space for the registrar of vot-ers, veterans affairs or the recreation department.

LLB must start over and the town must sign a new contract with the archi-tects. It will cost $30,000 for LLB to start over. LLB had been working with the

town for more than a year on its orig-inal contract. Fair said to make the costs work the town is likely looking at a one-story building of about 30,000 square feet. The library also has a $1 million grant for the space to build a new building, but that grant runs out in November. The town can apply for an extension but there are no guarantees. An extension could give the town the time it needs to redesign the municipal complex properly and schedule a refer-endum on the project.

Designs to renovate the armory into a senior center and recreation facility came in at $6.1 million. The town’s facil-ities committee has been told to focus on the municipal complex’s town hall and library in order to reduce the cost of the building, leaving out the Aspinock Historical Society, which had 6,000 square feet of space in the first design. In addition to the reduced municipal complex, all work on the armory has been suspended.

EASTFORD — Warren Bradway recently donated a 20-acre forested parcel in Eastford to the Wyndham Land Trust. The land abuts the land trust’s 22.5-acre MacFarlane preserve on Abington Road and a portion of the 13,000-acre Natchaug State Forest. Bradway, who grew up in Putnam and retired to Groton, is happy to see the family land protected.

“I’m glad that it will stay natural,” Bradway said. “I know the beavers love it. My grandfather acquired it over 100 years ago. He ran the Bradway and Delano store on School Street in Putnam, and owned plots of land all over the area, maybe because his cus-tomers couldn’t pay their bills. He passed it on to my father, who passed

it on to me. The land trust contacted me because the land abuts the MacFarlane preserve, and I thought ‘Why not donate it?’ I’ve had no use for it in my lifetime. Working with the land trust was very easy—I just went to their lawyer’s office and signed a couple of papers.”

Wyndham Land Trust appreciated Bradway’s generosity.

“This property is important because it helps preserve part of a large intact for-est interior,” said Andy Rzeznikiewicz, the land trust’s land manager. “Large forest interiors are important for many bird species because they support suc-cessful nesting. Birds like Ovenbirds, Black-throated Green Warblers, Wood Thrush, and Red-Eyed Vireos are a few examples of species that will benefit

from this protected land.”The Wyndham Land Trust Inc.

now protects over 50 parcels in ten towns in Northeast Connecticut total-ing 2620 acres. The land trust can be reached by email-ing [email protected] or by calling (860) 963 2090. More information can be found at www.wyndham-landtrust.org.

Putnam man busted for

cocaineKILLINGLY —

On Tuesday, June 27, at 1:03 p.m., Connecticut State Police Troop D Troopers were con-ducting narcotic interdiction in the Town of Killingly. While on Broad Street, Trooper Kane conducted a traffic stop of a 2005 Subaru Forester for failing to dis-play a front plate.

While speaking to the lone operator, Troopers observed him to be extremely nervous. The operator was later iden-tified as, Adrian Broughton, 37, of 42 South Main Street, Putnam. Troopers further observed numerous criminal indicators during the traffic stop. At this time, Troopers asked for consent to search from the operator and consent was granted.

A subsequent search of the vehicle located a large freezer bag containing approximately 530 grams of powdered cocaine packaged for bulk sale inside a shoe box. When Broughton was que-ried into the Connecticut Department of Motor Vehicle system he was found to have a suspended operator’s license as well as two active Failure to Appear in the second Degree arrest warrants.

Personnel assigned to the Troop D Quality of Life Task Force and a Sergeant from the SNTF-East Office arrived on scene to assist in the inves-tigation. Broughton was then transport-ed to Troop D Barracks in Danielson where he was processed and charged with possession of cocaine, possession of cocaine with intent to sell, failure to appear in the second degree, operating a motor vehicle while under suspen-sion, and failure to display a front plate. Broughton was held on a $53,000 dol-lar cash/surety bond and appeared in Danielson Superior Court on June 28 for the charges.

PUTNAM — First Fridays will return to the streets of downtown Putnam on Friday, July 7, celebrating classic films. From 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. the outdoor art festival will see over 50 art ven-dors, live music, family friendly activities, and art installations. Like all First Fridays, the event is free to the public and visitors are invited to discover the festival and the offerings of Putnam’s downtown, including al fresco dining, galleries, boutique shopping, and more.

As the 2017 First Fridays season approaches its mid-point, July’s event will explore the iconic characters and stories from classic films. One of six movie genres celebrated with the season-long theme, First Fridays Feature Films: A Celebration of Cinema, the July event invites visitors to revis-it such films as The Wizard of Oz, Gone with the Wind, Casablanca and more! As with all First Fridays events, creative cosplay is welcome and encouraged.

On Main Street, Chris MacKay & The Tone Shifters will grace the main stage from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. This band combines blues, swing, country, rockabilly and funky swamp rock with a mix of originals and interesting covers into a tasty blend of danceable music. Over in Union Square Don Loghry will entertain the crowds, covering such classic crooners as Frank Sinatra and Dean

Martin.New for the 2017 season is First Fridays Art

Installations, which features local artists creat-ing original work throughout each evening of the festival. During the July event, there will be installations from artists Kyle “The Copper Kid” and Clara Costabile.

The fun continues at the Community Arts Table with an art project for all ages. With inspiration from the Disney film, Wall-E, which features a junk robot who cleans an empty planet by day and watches and mimics scenes from the classic film Hello Dolly on repeat by night. Children and adults can create their own classic film-loving robot to take home.

Above all else, First Fridays remains an art-based festival, and the July 7 event will see a record number of art vendors lining Main Street and Union Square in downtown Putnam. Patrons are invited to peruse the wide variety of artisan wares while enjoying the early summer weather. Coupled with outdoor art vendors, the many gal-leries of Putnam will also feature openings and exhibitions.

WOODSTOCK — A free summer movie series is at the Woodstock Academy’s Elizabeth S. Hyde Arts Center Auditorium. The series is titled Profiles in Color: Breaking Barriers. The series will focus on recent award winning films that explore race relations in society, followed by a facilitated discussion. The event is co-sponsored by the Board of Outreach of the First Congregational Church of Woodstock and Woodstock Academy Library. After each screening, a discussion will be led by members of the congre-gation who have been trained as Racial Justice Ministry Facilitators by the Connecticut Conference, United Church of Christ. Light refreshments will be served.

“Hidden Figures” will be screened on Thursday, July13th at 6:30. Nominated for both best

film and best actress in a sup-porting role, Hidden Figures tells the story of a talented group of young women of color who are instrumental in getting NASA off the ground. Critics described the movie as “a spunky, upbeat spin on a moment of risk-tak-ing hope for Cold War America. It’s also an eye-opening remind-er of the absurdity, cruelty and pervasiveness of racial segrega-tion a mere half-century ago.” Discussion following the film will be led by Debby Kirk and Rev. Jocelyn Gardner Spencer.

42: The Jackie Robinson Story (PG-13) will be the final feature film, shown on Thursday, July 27th at 6:30. Amazon review states “42 is a poignant film that has some unexpectedly witty moments, and viewers can expect their emotions to run the gamut from shame, helpless-ness, and rage to the awaken-

ing of inspiration and empower-ment to continue to effect change and eradicate discrimination... Watch it--and make sure to include your teenagers in the audience.” Katy Field and Katie Wells will lead the discussion.

“The Board of Outreach is committed to providing public opportunities for open and frank discussion of complex topics,” states Lynn Davis, Board of Outreach co-chair.

The Rev. Jocelyn Gardner Spencer, pastor of First Congregational Church of Woodstock said “Because we believe that every person is made in God’s image, we hope to help our communities under-stand the ongoing role of race in our society, and to inspire one another to build a more just world for all God’s people. Please join us!”

PUTNAM — After a sev-en-month national search, the Board of Directors of Day Kimball Healthcare (DKH) recently announced that Anne Diamond, J.D., C.N.M.T., has been selected as the next President and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the integrated hospital and healthcare system, which is the major provider of healthcare and largest employ-er in Northeast Connecticut. Diamond, currently the CEO of UConn Health’s John Dempsey Hospital in Farmington, will assume her new role at DKH at the end of August. Her selec-

tion was made by a subcom-mittee of the DKH Board of Directors that included phy-sicians, administrators and other members, with input from senior management, department directors, medical staff leadership and medical staff.

Diamond brings to DKH more than 30 years of health-care experience across a multi-tude of roles. In her most recent role as CEO of John Dempsey Hospital for the past four years, Diamond has focused on improving the hospital’s quality of care, operations and financial performance, with positive results.

The hospital realized a pos-itive net margin for the past two years and is on track for another positive year. During Diamond’s tenure as CEO the hospital has also been recognized by the American Hospital Association as an organization improving qual-ity at a faster rate than other hospitals nationally and by the CT Hospital Association’s John D. Thompson Award for Excellence in hospital admin-istration for the use of data in improving quality and clin-ical processes. Anne has also led UConn’s John Dempsey Hospital to three “A” scores for patient safety from Leapfrog and raised Consumer Reports scores to among the top in the state and nation.

“My time at John Dempsey Hospital has been immensely rewarding. I’m proud of all that has been accomplished by the team here over the last four years as CEO and I’m confi-dent that that great work will continue,” Diamond said. “I’m ready now for a new challenge and to help foster that same kind of momentum and inno-vation at another hospital and healthcare system. I’m so impressed with the achieve-ments in quality of care at Day Kimball Healthcare and the organization’s ability to weather an extremely difficult time for healthcare in our state and nation over the last several years. Day Kimball’s Board of Directors, administration and staff have consistently risen to those challenges in service to their patients and community; that’s the kind of organization I want to be a part of strength-ening, and I look forward to helping to lead efforts toward further growth and success in the future.”

With Diamond’s arrival at DKH in late August, current Interim President and CEO Joseph Adiletta will step down and resume his prior role as Chairman of the Board.

“It was my privilege and plea-sure to serve as Interim CEO of Day Kimball Healthcare while the search for a permanent new CEO was underway. I’m proud to have been involved

with Day Kimball through participation on the Board of Directors for many years, but being so closely involved on a day-to-day basis has provid-ed me an even deeper under-standing and appreciation of the hard work, dedication and commitment that is shown by the people that make up this organization,” Adiletta said. “I look forward to con-tinuing to support their efforts as Chairman of the Board, I’m also looking forward to work-ing with Anne, who I think brings the perfect combination of skills, values and perspec-tive about what healthcare should be to Day Kimball and the communities we serve. I have no doubt that she will be successful in working with our team to build upon the accom-plishments Day Kimball has attained in recent years and to fuel future success.”

Prior to her role as CEO at John Dempsey Hospital, Diamond served as the hospi-tal’s Chief Operating Officer and Associate Vice President of Operations. Before that, she spent five years at Salem Health in Oregon, serving as Senior Director, Cardiovascular, Cancer and Imaging Services and then Vice President, Service Lines and Operations. Diamond began her career as a Nuclear Medicine Technologist, work-ing her way up through the

ranks of management and hos-pital administration over the last three decades.

Diamond is a member of the American College of Healthcare Executives, the American Health Lawyers Association and the American Society of Healthcare Engineers. She sits on the Connecticut Hospital Association’s (CHA’s) Board of Trustees and serves as chair of CHA’s Statewide Asthma Initiative. She is a board member of the Leo and Anne Albert Institute of Bladder Cancer and the American Heart Association’s Go Red for Women Luncheon and its Heart Ball. Diamond is also an industry executive advisor for various organizations in healthcare security and patient experience.

Diamond holds an execu-tive juris doctor degree with a concentration in Health Law from Concord School of Law and a bachelor’s degree in Nuclear Medicine Technology from Cedar Crest College. She retains her certification as a nuclear medicine technolo-gist and is certified as a LEAN process master. She is also an accomplished presenter at healthcare forums and confer-ences across the country and a contributor to a number of healthcare journals and publi-cations. She is married with a 17-year-old son and resides in West Hartford.

I can’t believe we’ll be cel-ebrating the 4th of July in a few days! It seems like it was just winter…Oh wait, we live in New England, so it was just winter. Time to get out, and enjoy everything that The Quiet Corner has to offer, before Mother Nature wraps us in her icy embrace once again.

W h e n the nice w e a t h e r a r r i v e s , the bikes come out. My boy-f r i e n d , b r o t h -er, and I are avid motorcy-cle enthu-siasts, and love noth-ing more

than taking off on the week-end, tooling around to swap meets and new restaurants. There’s nothing more excit-ing than finding a unique place to eat! For amazing Italian food, Bilarto’s is the place to go. Pho Real, also located in Putnam, serves authentic Vietnamese cuisine, and Cindy’s Four Corners in Quinebaug spe-cializes in good ol’ American dishes. We also like to head down to the Music Lady Café in Central Village for a cou-ple of cold ones, and to catch a band. Bikers welcome!

Don’t forget the events in Killingly at Owen Bell Park this Friday, starting with the Red, White, and Blue BBQ at 5:30, followed by Pirates for Peace on stage, and then the fireworks display at 9:15. On Saturday, Putnam’s Star Spangled Celebration starts downtown at 10AM, with music, sidewalk sales, and antique cars, ending with the Billy Pilgrim Band at 6PM in the parking lot behind Jade Garden, and the fireworks at 9:15.

Some folks prefer to stick around the house during the long weekend. Nothing like having good friends over, grilling, and complet-ing those projects you hav-en’t yet had time to finish. Gene Pepper at Carpentry Services CT can help with your remodeling ideas, and Jeff Byrant of Byrant Stoneworks does beautiful and creative work! If the guys and I aren’t out and about, then I’m home doing yardwork…Like a fiend, I might add. We moved into our home last September, so instead of building one flower garden at a time like a normal person, I built four in two months. I cannot even begin to calculate how much money I spent on bulbs, plants, and mulch, but my oldest daughter questioned whether I could continue to pay her college tuition. Bloom on Woodstock Hill has classes to teach you how to make gorgeous flower arrangements to add to your outdoor or indoor décor! Just grab some friends, a couple of bottles of wine, and get creative! On a side note, using a backpack leaf-blow-er to dislodge those hideous gypsy moth caterpillars from your trees is high-ly ineffective, not to men-tion the ones that do come loose ping off the tree and fly back at you, creating a freakish dodgeball game of trying to blow them away and avoid being hit...and it causes loads of laughter, and smarmy comments from the family.

Whatever you decide to do this Independence Day, enjoy yourself, and stay safe.

OPINIONOpinion and commentary from the Quiet Corner

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

To the editor:

In his guest column (June 23) Dr. Jeffrey Gordon makes the point that contentious-ness and compromise have both been part the American Democratic experiment. Mudslinging, as our history shows, is noth-ing new nor unique. What is different is that we are now inundated with all sorts of social media ranging from TV and radio to the internet, Facebook, and Twitter. Our sources of information, whether real or made up, can be overwhelming. We have also faced far more dire crises ranging from war to famines, plagues, and depression than we do today.

Where I would disagree though, is in his feeling that American democracy is not in trouble. While there is no true external dan-ger, ISIS notwithstanding, I believe that we are facing an existential one and it does boil down to civility. True the vast major-ity of Americans are good citizens but our chief, and the de facto leader of the free world, President Trump, seems to ignore common courtesy.

He repeatedly demonstrates a boorish, self-centered attitude in his many interac-tions and communications. Starting from his pre-political humiliation of women, he created a new way to demean political foes by attaching colorful modifiers to names, (eg Lying Ted, Crying Chuck, Little Marco).

Enough with the adjectives! One can dispar-age an opponent but please don’t resort to sixth grade school yard name calling. He has attempted to humiliate the former head of the FBI calling Mr Comey a “nut job”. Nor does he stop at our borders in recently going after the Mayor of London in misconstruing statements coming after their most recent Islamist terror attack.

All this is the opposite of civility and I fear that more he stoops to ardent smear tactics, the more people will see this as the example of a new normal. That includes our children. Has anyone asked the question of how they may interpret his tweets and what effect his behaviors may have on them growing up to be civil? And in attempting to demonize the press he attacks the foundation upon which freedom of speech is built, the very heart of a democracy.

We are blessed to live in a country such as ours but history has shown that all great soci-eties eventually fail. It is our duty to exercise diligence and not assume that the past 240 years somehow guarantees us future success. That is why as good citizens, and despite whether or not we may agree with his poli-cies, we must hold Mr. Trump accountable and not allow him to poison the institution of the President of the United States.

Trump ignores common courtesy

To the editor:

Concerning what is going on with Trump, the Congress and the Supreme Court, I am at somewhat of a loss about what to write. I am writing this on Monday evening. Whatever I say could well be dated, contradicted or smothered under a new flood of egregious lies and self serving blather.

First, I haven’t seen any rationale of how the Supreme Court came to their decision on the travel ban. What judicial word trolling did they use to allow some immigrants but exclude others?

Regarding the Comey meeting, there are two salient points. It is a characteristic of a dictator to demand loyalty to his person, not to the Nation and Constitution. Trump’s request was really a demand and Comey is to be commended in refusing to acquiesce.

Also, anyone who has had a boss (often a dictator) understands that when the boss says, “I hope…”, it really means “I want…” a particular something to happen. The “request”, especially from the President, is really a “command”. Trump was really com-manding that the investigation be stopped. This may well have been illegal.

Trump and Congress are on a clear ram-page to stifle the media and take down the first amendment on free speech. Consider – shutting out various news organizations from press briefings, press briefings that are short, uninformative and without questions, Congress refusing video of congressmen’s interviews, refusal to accept information and facts from experts, Congress’s lawmaking in

secret, and the blatant lies of Trump, Voss, McConnell and Ryan. These are all the char-acteristics of a dictatorial regime to control what the people hear.

Staging large pep rallies is another feature of dictatorship because there is a need for constant, positive ego stroking. Instead of fulfilling his inaugural oath of leading the Nation, Trump has to stand up in front of adoring people who have swallowed his fan-tasies and contradictions whole. And I have to wonder how many of those in the audience were paid to attend. (A bit of humor here.)

Finally, we all have to worry about Trump’s need for simplistic solutions. None of our problems are simple. They are complex and require open, free and extensive discussion. Trump’s known inability to concentrate long enough to understand problems more than one page long would seem to me to be proof of his being unfit to govern and should there-fore be removed on these grounds alone.

He even admitted that he doesn’t read the executive orders he signs. This would seem to make him a puppet of his subordinates and therefore unqualified to govern. Oh yes, let’s not overlook that he has abrogated his Commander in Chief duties to the generals. Oh boy, talk about giving the kiddies all the toys they want.

We can only hope the safeguards we have in the Constitution can hold up and control these most un-democratic activities.

A continued rant on Trump

Red’s Word

A puzzling habit

Sometimes I whip though them in a matter of minutes. Other times I leave the paper on the kitchen counter and look at it every time I pass by. Along with about 50 million other people, I am fond of crossword puzzles. The tricky word games can make me feel as if I am really on top of things or like a complete slug.

I like to reward myself for completing a task by sitting down and working on a crossword puzzle. We get the New York Times delivered at our home every morning. The puzzle is in the Arts section of the paper, although recently the editors added a mini-puzzle on page

three. That one takes only a minute or two to complete and really just whets one’s appetite for a longer challenge. Out of an inbred requirement to do something useful before doing something amusing, I read through the news before glancing at the crossword puzzle. If it is early in the week, I know I will move from

clue to clue, filling in the empty boxes at a merry clip. However, if it is Friday or Saturday, I’m probably going to give up in frustration after twenty minutes.

My daughter teaches at a large high school. In the faculty room, everyone does the puzzles together. I can’t imag-ine how that works, except she notes that when they come upon a difficult clue, there is always one member of the group who immediately googles the answer. A close friend of mine connects to one of the many answer sites as soon as she hits a snag. She also times herself so that she can beat her own pace. I like to think about possible answers and wait for an “ah ha” moment to fill in the little white spaces.

While we are told that certain mental exercises are good for our brains, I’m not sure that is true. Doing crossword puzzles may largely just make one good at doing crossword puzzles. The process does reveal holes in either one’s educa-tion or cultural literacy. Studying Latin may feel a bit esoteric, but it is remark-ably useful in doing puzzles. The same is true for watching television shows. I’m stumped over the names of actors in long ago programs because I didn’t watch enough. I read only the first of the Harry Potter books so those clues leave me cold too.

Will Shortz is the editor of the New York Times crossword puzzles. He also has a show on National Public Radio. He is one smart cookie, having even created his own degree, “enigmatologist”, when he was a student at Indiana University, according to his bio on the internet. He edits the work of a number of other peo-ple who contribute puzzles and writes his own. He hosts the American Crossword Puzzle Tournament in Stamford every year. Wonder if our governor could tap into that somehow. Massachusetts pro-motes bio-tech and Connecticut attracts crossword puzzle competitors.

Crossword puzzles provide a form of gratification. Begin at clue number one and keep at it until every square is filled. For on-line players there is instant acceptance or rejection of an answer and the chance for a do-over. Few other life experiences give us such positive feedback. The completed puzzle represents a compilation of vocabulary, humor, and wit. Tricks and ambiguities lead to answers and a private chuckle of satisfaction at being in on the joke. Who wouldn’t smile at the clue – “Person in a detached state”? The answer – “Alaskan”.

Crossword puzzles represent person-al, private moments in our lives when we can either easily recall the name of the lion in the “Chronicles of Narnia” or forget the word in Spanish for uncle. Either way, a little word play is invigo-rating.

Bring Mr. Spinney to Woodstock Academy

As an avid reader of the Woodstock Villager, I read the story that was the banner headline from last week’s edition: Big Bird Lands in Putnam.

Carroll Spinney and his wife Deb were in downtown Putnam meeting with his fans and drawing his won-derful drawings of the Sesame Street characters. His own two characters of Oscar The Grouch and Big Bird are the prime players along with Miss Piggy and her boyfriend, Kermit the Frog and they have been a part of my children’s years of growing and learning and they have become my grandchildren’s favorite television per-sonalities when they were very young chil-dren.

No one knows — outside those of us who live in Woodstock or who are puppeteers themselves who Carroll Spinney is; but just say, “Do you know Big Bird?” Everyone knows and loves Big Bird.

There is a wonderful story behind Carroll, in fact a movie was made and had its world premiere here in Putnam at the Bradley Playhouse. The film is called, “I Am Big Bird” and the most moving segment of that movie was when “Big Bird” spoke at Jim Henson’s funeral service in New York City.

That segment describes perfectly how a puppeteer makes his/her character come alive. In fact, Big Bird, that day, was so per-fectly acted by Carroll Spinney that Big Bird became more than a puppet. Big Bird filled the altar with a living yellow bird and Jim Henson must have been very proud of Caroll.

As the Villager writer, Olvia Richman wrote, “Spinney has been the voice and pup-peteer for Big Bird since 1969. Passionate about his role, Spinney is still Big Bird to this day.” She went on to write about how Big Bird was transformed by Caroll Spinney from a character that, “…didn’t have a brain…” to the Big Bird we all know today. As Carroll said, “I felt Big Bird shouldn’t be this way. He should be someone who can learn. He should be like the children watching the show. I

made his voice higher, lighter … it worked very well.”

On that same front page of the Woodstock Villager, just below the fold, was the story, “Woodstock Academy completes purchase of Hyde campus.” This South Campus of The Woodstock Academy fea-tures the Hyde Auditorium or “The Center,” the name Mr. Christopher

Sandford, Woodstock Academy’s Head of Schools, has named the 1,000 seat auditorium.

And here is the thing: The time has come for Mr. Sandford and the

members of the Woodstock Academy Board of Trustees, to bring Mr. Spinney and The Woodstock Academy together and create a center honoring Mr. Spinney and the world of puppetry called: The Carroll Spinney School of Puppetry at Woodstock Academy

By using the new former Hyde School’s cultural center, the Academy has this unique opportunity to offer to its students during the regular academic year and filling its 200-person dorm space each summer for 4 two-week summer school sessions of pup-petry. The Academy, in conjunction with The University of Connecticut’s graduate school of puppetry and Carroll Spinney, can make Carroll’s unique decades of experience come alive in the hands and voices and spirits of a whole new generation of puppeteers. This is the very thing that happened in Carroll Spinney’s life story; he was discovered by Jim Henson and became BIG BIRD.

There are some many other “Big Bird” puppeteers out there and they can all come together here on our Academy’s campus and learn from a master puppeteer, Mr. Spinney.

Chris, that plan — we discussed two years ago about my idea of the Carroll Spinney School of Puppetry — needs to be dusted off. The TIME HAS COME!

When silk was spun in ConnecticutThis week I’ve learned of

two more stone arch bridges in Killingly. Donna Bronwell, chairwoman of Killingly’s Conservation Commission, sent the following in an email on June 19, “There is anoth-er double stone arch bridge for the railroad crossing the Five Mile River between Rock Avenue and North Street, prob-ably around the area behind the college. Some of us paddled that section of the Five Mile five to eight years ago; we saw the bridge! I have a photo of it in my stuff somewhere…It was a wonderful surprise!”

While doing research for a future column in the booklet “Mills Along the Whetstone Brook” by Richard C. Adams, I came across a reference to another old stone arch bridge along the Whetstone Brook. It was east of Killlingly Center in the vicinity where the Mitchell family (Lott then son Orin D.) had saw and gristmills in the 1800’s and was not that far from the arch bridge at Peeptoad Mill (p.18). How many more are there just waiting to be noted? Please, if you know of one, let me know by emailing me or by calling the Killingly Historical Center.

My poor shade maple in my backyard! Defoliated! Bare! The gypsy moths have left thousands of droppings and pieces of leaves all over my yard. There’s no way that I want to relax under that tree right now. The whole area is devastated! Now I know how the Egyptians felt with the plague of locusts.

Can you image actually want-ing caterpillars and deliberate-ly feeding them leaves to fatten them up? Such was the case in bygone days when women in Northeastern Connecticut decided to spin their own silk. Susan J. Griggs noted the following in “Folklore and Firesides of Pomfret, Hampton,

and Vicinity.” A woman “kept silk worms and made silk, not only to sell, but to spin and weave into beautiful cloth for her family; (when) the young boys of the family were required to rise early, rain or shine, in May and June, take their bags and climb the mulberry trees that had been planted in great numbers, to fill the bags with leaves to sat-isfy the greedy appetites of the silk worms” (p.77-8). “Greedy” also aptly describes the gypsy moth caterpillars!

I was curious about the his-tory and process of silk mak-ing and found the following: “Silk has set the standard in luxury fabrics for several mil-lennia. The origins of silk date back to Ancient China. Legend has it that a Chinese princess was sipping tea in her garden when a cocoon fell into her cup, and the hot tea loosened the long strand of silk. Ancient literature, however, attributes the popularization of silk to the Chinese Empress Si-Ling, to around 2600 B.C. Called the Goddess of the Silkworm, Si-Ling apparently raised silk-worms and designed a loom for making silk fabrics.

“The Chinese used silk fab-rics for arts and decorations as well as for clothing. Silk became an integral part of the Chinese economy and an important means of exchange for trading with neighboring countries. Caravans traded the prized silk fabrics along the famed Silk Road into the Near East. By the fourth century B.C., Alexander the Great is said to have introduced silk to Europe. The popularity of silk was influenced by Christian prelates who donned the rich fabrics and adorned their altars with them. Gradually the nobility began to have their own clothing fashioned from silk fabrics as well.

“Initially, the Chinese were

highly protective of their secret to making silk. Indeed, the reigning powers decreed death by torture to anyone who divulged the secret of the silk-worm. Eventually, the mystery of the silk-mak-ing process was smuggled into neighboring regions, reaching Japan about A.D. 300 and India around A.D. 400. By the eighth century, Spain began produc-ing silk, and 400 years later Italy became quite successful at making silk, with several towns giving their names to particular types of silk.

“The secret to silk produc-tion is the tiny creature known as the silkworm, which is the caterpillar of the silk moth Bombyx mori. It feeds solely on the leaves of mulberry trees. Generally, one cocoon produc-es between 1,000 and 2,000 feet of silk filament, made essen-tially of two elements.” (Read more: http://www.madehow.com/Volume-2/Silk.html#ixzz-4kjhrmBjT)

How will you celebrate the Fourth of July? One hundred years ago the July 5, 1917 Windham County Transcript reported a day of fun and speeches:

“Holiday Celebration. When R. J. Caldwell, vice president of Connecticut Mills Company, in the course of his talk prophe-sied that the time would come when they would have a city government of their own at the Mills, the Transcript man immediately decided that if

that did come he would move to the new city, for if the way they celebrated Independence Day is the way they combine work and play, it is going to be a good place to live in. The day was ideal and the pro-gram well arranged. Fully a thousand people were on the grand stand and about the well laid out ball field

at 2.30 when the first event of the day was called. This was a race for boys and was won by Bertrand Gadreau. A relay race for young women followed and the winning team was composed of Misses Corinne LaFlamme, Florence Joly and Mrs. Elsie Blanchette.

“A drill by the boys of St. James School was the next number. The uneven ground and wide space rather puzzled them, but they did well. Two very fine addresses followed. Rev. Father Roux first spoke in French and Rev. Albert Jepson in English. (Note the use of both languages. Many of the French-Canadians could not understand English well).

“St. James Band was in attendance and throughout the afternoon rendered selec-tions from time to time. At this point they played the National Anthem while young ladies passed among the audience and took up a collection for the Red Cross. Those present were in a patriotic mood and thir-ty-three dollars was collected for the cause.

The ball game fol-lowed, between the team of Connecticut Mills and Killingly high school, which Connecticut Mills won 13-6. According to Marilyn Labbe there is much more about the ball game on page one of this paper. Check the microfilms at the Killingly Public Library or the Killingly Historical Center if you are curious and think one of your relatives might have played in

the game. How did Killingly residents

in the 19th Century celebrate the holiday? On July 4, 1878 Dr. Edwin Hill of East Killingly made the following notations in his diary, “Celebration with antiques, tub race, sack race, etc. A good time generally. Went to Hubbard’s Grove” (Marcella H. Pasay, editor, The Diaries of Dr. Hill 1851-1896; p. 149). Marilyn noted that Hubbard’s Grove was off of Broad Street in Danielson so this grove was not at one of the area ponds).

On the morning of the Fourth of July 1890, “marching up Main Street, they (the St. James Band) made a splendid appearance, playing finely for a band that has been practicing only about a year. The band numbers 24 musicians. Their leader is Mr. Hawkins.” “The uniforms for the St. James band were purchased through Peter Breault, the clothier, of Boston parties. The cloth is blue, trimmed with red and gold, and the uniforms are not only neat and serviceable, but quite showy” (WCT 7/9/1890). Does anyone have a relative who once played in this band? If so please let us know by call-ing the Killingly Historical Center or by emailing me.

Retirement planning: the basicsYou may have a

very idealistic vision of retirement--doing all the things that you never seem to have time to do now. But how do you pursue that vision? Social Security may be around when you retire, but the ben-efit that you get from Uncle Sam may not provide enough income for your retirement years. To make matters worse, few employers today offer a traditional company pen-sion plan that guarantees you a specific income at retirement. On top of that, people are living longer and must find ways to fund those additional years of retirement. For all these reasons, a sound retirement plan is critical for today. Here are some basic steps to get you started.

Determine your retirement income needs

It’s common to discuss desired annu-al retirement income as a percentage of your current income. Depending on who you’re talking to, that percent-age could be anywhere from 60 to 90 percent, or even more. The appeal of this approach lies in its simplicity. The problem, however, is that it doesn’t account for your specific situation. To determine your specific needs, you may want to estimate your annual retire-ment expenses.

Use your current expenses as a start-ing point, but note that they may change dramatically by the time you retire. For instance, if you own a home and are pay-ing a mortgage, your expenses will drop

if the mortgage is paid off during your retire-ment. Keep in mind though that expenses that are health-related, may increase in your later retirement years. A realistic estimate of your expenses will tell you about how much yearly income you’ll

need to live comfortably. Once you have estimated your retire-

ment income needs, take stock of your estimated future assets and income. These may come from Social Security, a retirement plan at work, a part-time job, and other sources. If estimates show that your future assets and income will fall short of what you need, the rest will have to come from additional personal retirement savings.

Figure out how much you’ll need to save

By the time you retire, you’ll need a nest egg with sufficient income to fill the gap left by your other income sources. When do you plan to retire? The younger you retire, the longer your retirement will be, and the more money you’ll need to carry you through it. What rate of growth can you expect from your savings now and during retirement? Be conservative when projecting rates of return. Do you expect to dip into your principal? If so, you may deplete your savings faster than if you just live off investment earnings. Answering these questions may give you an idea of how much you may need to save.

Build your retirement fund: Save, save, save

When you know roughly how much money you’ll need, your next goal is to save that amount. First, you’ll have to map out a savings plan that works for you. Assume a conservative rate of return (e.g., 5 to 6 percent), and then determine approximately how much you’ll need to save every year between now and your retirement to reach your goal, and if possible even more if you underestimate.

The next step is to put your savings plan into action. As soon in life as you can, you may want to arrange to have certain amounts to the extent possible taken directly from your paycheck and automatically invested in accounts of your choice. This arrangement reduces the risk of impulsive or unwise spend-ing that will threaten your savings plan.

Understand your investment options You need to understand the types

of investments that are available, and decide which ones are right for you. If you don’t have the time, energy, or inclination, consider hiring a financial professional. He or she will explain the options that are available to you, and will assist you in selecting investments that are appropriate for your goals, risk tolerance, and time horizon.

Use the right savings tools Employer-sponsored retirement

plans that allow employee deferrals (like 401(k), 403(b), and 457(b) plans) are powerful savings tools. Your con-tributions come out of your salary as pretax contributions and any invest-ment earnings are tax deferred until withdrawn. These plans often include employer-matching contributions and should be your first choice when it

comes to saving for retirement. 401(k), 403(b) and 457(b) plans can also allow after-tax Roth contributions. While Roth contributions don’t offer an imme-diate tax benefit, qualified distributions from your Roth account are federal income tax free.

IRAs feature tax deferral of earnings. If you are eligible, traditional IRAs may enable you to lower your current tax-able income through deductible con-tributions. Withdrawals, however, are taxable as ordinary income. Roth IRAs don’t permit tax-deductible contribu-tions but allow you to make completely tax-free withdrawals under certain con-ditions. With both types, you can typi-cally choose from a wide range of invest-ments to fund your IRA. Annuities are contracts issued by insurance compa-nies generally funded with after-tax dol-lars, but their earnings are tax deferred. A typical annuity provides income pay-ments beginning at some future time, usually retirement. Payments are dis-tributed to last your lifetime or the joint life of you and a beneficiary.

Planning well and using these tools may help you reach your financial goals.

PUTNAM — Connecticut Rivers Council member Boy Scout Troop 25 recently announced that Abram W. Nichols of Putnam has earned his Four Star Award. Nichols just completed his junior year at Putnam High School and has been an active troop member for the past eight years. He was presented this honor at the Troop’s Parents’ Night on June 13 by Bill Senecal. P.R.A.Y. (Programs of Religious Activities with Youth) is a religious emblems program that partners with nonprof-it youth organizations and protestant churches.

Unlike many Boy Scout honors, this award takes many years to complete and requires support from a both a mentor and church clergy. Nichols is a member of Christ Church Pomfret (Episcopal), and was supported by Father David Carter throughout his service and outreach requirements. Scouts begin in early elemen-tary school with the “God and Me” program, doing bible study, reflections and projects. They continue through middle and high school with “God and Family”, “God and Church”, and finally “God and Life”. Only those who complete all four levels can earn the Four Star Award, and Nichols was the first Boy Scout to earn this in the entire state in 2017.

WOODSTOCK — An effort to bring a new playground to Woodstock Middle School is under-way. With all the atten-tion and research being given to healthy lifestyles and physical activity, the Woodstock Parent Teacher Organization is addressing a serious, but playful, need for students at the Woodstock Middle School. Simply put, chil-dren in grades 5-8 would benefit greatly from a playground designed specifically for their age group — and by not hav-ing recess in the school parking lot.

When thinking about playgrounds, images are conjured of swings and seesaws, but the con-cept of active play space for middle schoolers is a bit different. When Ethan Adams, a sixth grader from Woodstock and his mother, Crystal Adams, were on vaca-tion they came across a different type of play-ground. They decided it was time to start an effort to bring something like that playground to the Woodstock Middle School. Concurrently, WMS principal Wendy Durand introduced a program focusing on physical fitness and the Woodstock PTO came on board with a program called Rev Up Recess.

The PTO com-missioned the WMS Playground Committee to seek community funds to bring a playground to the middle school that would engage and chal-lenge older children. The newly formed playground committee, chaired by

Ms. Adams, conducted extensive research into more than 20 different playground companies, as well as visited vari-ous playgrounds. They searched for equipment that was not your typical playground consisting of stairs, platforms, and slides but instead would offer middle school chil-dren challenging, inno-vative and durable com-ponents. The centerpiece of the proposed $100,000 playground is a 13’ tall climbing dome designed to provide graduated challenge and manage-able risk as various ropes and nets encourage stu-dents to balance, climb, stretch, and twist. This playground will also include a swaying bridge, and multiple rotating pieces. This age-appro-priate playground will help children develop upper body strength, flexibility, core muscle strength, as well as chal-lenge balance and endur-ance. These are all areas that are now tested by the state of Connecticut in the Next Generation Accountability Index Test, which assesses schools on physical fit-ness as well as standard-ized test scores and grad-uation rates.

“Our students lack a means to receive physical activity that incorporates any type of unstructured play. The playground that our parent teacher organization would like to install for our school and the Woodstock com-munity would be won-derful. There is a pleth-ora of research showing that our students have

never been so sedentary and our own data shows that our students in Woodstock have room to grow in regards to physi-cal fitness,” said Durand.

Research has shown that today’s children are the first in decades to have a shorter life expec-tancy than their parents, and one in three chil-dren today is considered obese. The Woodstock Middle School play-

ground will be located on a flat piece of land behind the school. It is adjacent to the blacktop where students currently spend recess. The playground will be 2,500 square feet, and can accommodate up to 80 students at once. WMS Grades have sep-arate recess times, and each grade is comprised of 75 to 100 students.

The play space will be a “community play-ground”. When school is not in session, the play-ground will be open to all the children of Woodstock and surrounding commu-nities – and a welcome addition for families with other children attend-ing sporting activities at the Woodstock Middle School fields. Although

this playground equip-ment is built for children above the age of 5 years old, younger children can enjoy the equipment with adult supervision. Children with disabili-ties will also be able to use the equipment, as each piece can be manip-ulated from ground level, and a paved pathway will lead from the blacktop to the playground area.

Fundraising efforts towards the $100,000 goal officially started in February 2017 and will continue through June 2018. One third of that goal has already been met through contribu-tions from individual donors, the New Leaf Foundation, Woodstock Lions Club, and business-

es such as Linemaster Switch Corporation and Fiberoptics. Last week was the culmination of fundraisers at both the Woodstock elementary and middle schools, with classes paying $1 to vote for their class to ‘Silly String the Principal’ - a great activity for children to help to raise funds for their future playground.

More information about this exciting proj-ect, including videos of the equipment, scheduled events and sponsor forms can be found at https://wmsplayground.word-press.com/ or by con-tacting Crystal Adams at [email protected]

PUTNAM — The Hale YMCA Youth & Family Center would like to thank the numerous donors to the new Nancy Rauh Memorial Endowment Fund. The fund was established at the request of friends of the Rauh Family in memo-ry of Nancy Rourke Rauh, who passed away on May 8, 2017 after a courageous battle with cancer. The fund supports the YMCA’s LIVESTRONG cancer sur-vivor program, providing free wellness support for cancer survivors and their caregivers. Since the fund was estab-lished, donors have contributed more than $20,000 in Nancy’s honor.

Nancy was a beloved wife, mother and grandmother who loved garden-ing, traveling and helping others. During her battle with cancer, Nancy joined the Hale YMCA and found sup-port and community with other cancer patients and survivors in the inaugural LIVESTRONG class in the summer of 2016.

“It was the personal connection she made with her class mates of survi-vors that provide her the courage to get active and fight this horrible disease,” said Nancy’s husband John. “It is a won-derful program done to perfection at the Hale Family YMCA.”

In 2008, the YMCA partnered with LIVESTRONG to help cancer survivors begin the journey toward recovery with the LIVESTRONG at the YMCA pro-gram. Part of the Y’s commitment to strengthening community through healthy living, the program offers adults affected by cancer a safe, supportive environment to participate in physical and social activities focused on strength-ening the whole person.

“All of us at the Y were devastated by the loss of Nancy Rauh,” said Executive Director Amanda Kelly. “We have been overwhelmed by the generous contri-butions we have received in Nancy’s memory. She was truly loved and we are honored to be a part of her legacy.”

Contributions honoring Nancy Rauh will continue to be accepted. Donations can be made payable to Hale YMCA with “Nancy Rauh Memorial Endowment Fund” in the memo and can be mailed to: Hale YMCA, 9 Technology Park Drive, Putnam, Ct., 06260.

For more information regarding the Nancy Rauh Memorial Endowment Fund, LIVESTRONG or the Hale YMCA, call (860) 315-9622 or visit www.haleym-ca.org

Boy Scout Troop 21 pancake breakfastPUTNAM — Boy Scout Troop 21 served pancakes and sausage to over 150 people

at their first Pancake Breakfast on Sunday, June 25. The sweet smell of syrup waft-ed around St. Mary’s Church basement as members of Putnam’s Boy Scout Troop 21 served plates and drinks to hungry patrons.

“As part of the community and the parish, this is the type of thing we like to do,” said assistant Scoutmaster John Ryan.

In fact, the pancake breakfast was all planned by the kids,” said Boy Scoutmaster Peter Lombardo.


Scout Master Peter Lombardo and Assistant Scout Master John Ryan said the pancake break-fast was actually planned and organized by the boys in Troop 21.

Parish members Judy Harvey, Ellen Knight and Tracy Blanchard couldn’t wait to eat some pancakes after church service.

“This is very good,” said John and Louise Nordstrom. “Very lovely.”

PUTNAM — The Mayotte-Viens American Legion Post No. 13 of Putnam conducted its installation of officers for 2017-2018 on June 23 in a ceremony held at the Inn at Woodstock Hill. The evening also includ-ed the induction of officers for the Sons of American Legion Squadron as well as recogni-tion of individuals from the Post and community for out-standing service. More than 60 veterans, their spouses, fami-lies and friends were in atten-dance.

The induction ceremony of Post officers was administered by Connecticut Department of Veterans Affairs Commissioner Sean M. Connolly. Ronald P. Coderre was installed for his third term as Post Commander. American Legion 4th District Commander Perry Caldwell of Post No. 26 Stafford Springs was on hand for his first offi-cial visit to a District Post during his one year tenure.

“It’s an honor to be select-ed by our members to serve another year as Commander. I’m looking forward to continu-ing the good works and pro-grams that our members have done in the past decade. We have a great group of men and women who work very closely together in all that we do,” said Coderre.

Coderre will be joined in the leadership of Post #13 by Alan Joslin, Sr. Vice Commander, Brian Maynard Jr. Vice Commander, Eric Quinn Finance Officer, Marc J. Coderre, Sr. Chaplain, Roger C. Franklin Adjutant, Charlie Leach Historian, Victor J. Kratz Sergeant-at-Arms, Norman “Barney” Seney Service Officer and Sean Hendricks Judge Advocate.

Commander Coderre admin-

istered the oath to the incom-ing team of officers of the Sons of American Legion. The Squadron Commander is David Coderre, Sr. Vice Commander Earl Rosebrooks, Adjutant/Finance Officer Arthur Corey and Jr. Vice Commander/Chaplain William McKevily.

“Our Post theme for this year is “Together for Veterans, Community and Country. We’ll work closely as a Post with the new team of Squadron officers,” said Coderre.

In his remarks Coderre high-lighted the goals for the coming year, which include increas-ing membership beyond 150, completing the ‘banner project’ that is currently underway, hosting incoming National Commander Denise H. Rohan in Putnam on her visit to Connecticut and involving the Post membership in a signifi-cant community project.

Outgoing Jr. Vice Commander Albert L. Cormier was honored as the Post’s Legionnaire of the Year. Cormier, a longtime area edu-cator, serves as the chairman of the Children and Youth Committee, overseeing the scholarship program, the ora-torical contest, Americanism activities and Boys’ State selection. He’s also active in a number of areas involving programs for veterans and Post fundraising activities.

“Cormier is a proud veteran of the United States Army and a great American. He’s worked tirelessly on behalf of the young people of our area for years. His input to the Post’s youth programs has been significant. He was the perfect choice for Legionnaire of the Year,” said Coderre.

Post milestone certificates were presented to members

achieving five and 10 year lev-els. Recognition was accorded to three Putnam High School juniors, Scott Davagian, Jr., Tyler Fitts and Justin Haynes who were selected to attend Boys’ State at Eastern Connecticut State University.

Zulma Montalvo, a veteran attending Quinebaug Valley Community College and Jozzlynn Lewis, a Putnam High School graduating senior were presented academic scholarships. Pam Brown, who is retiring as the Veteran Services Coordinator at Quinebaug Valley Community College and Linda Colangelo of Putnam were presented the Commander’s Award. The two women were recognized for their support of veter-ans and Post #13 programs. Putnam Police Chief Rick L. Hayes received the Post’s Law Enforcement Officer of the

Year Award for his dedica-tion and work in making the Putnam Police Department one of Connecticut’s outstanding “community policing’ depart-ments.

Arthur “Buster” Corey, long time Squadron Leader of Post #13 Sons of American Legion and Post members Victor J. Kratz and Barbara Smith were honored for their service to the Post.

It was also noted that Post #13 will be honored at the upcoming Department of Connecticut convention to be held in Trumbull, CT in early July. The Post has been select-ed to receive the Arthur E. Daly Plaque recognizing its work in all phases of its Americanism programs and the initiation of a Homeland Security pro-gram. It will also receive the John N. Roberto Plaque pre-sented to the Post that shows the greatest participation and work on promotion of Patriotic Observances and Americanism in the schools and community.

American Legion Post #13 is composed of men and women veterans who have served in our country’s military during a time of war. Established in 1919, it is based on four pil-lars, Veterans Affairs and Rehabilitation, National Security, Americanism and Children and Youth. Post #13 meets at 7 p.m. on the second Monday of each month, with the exception of the months of July and August, in the conference room at Gerardi Insurance on Pomfret St. in Putnam.

Veterans interested in more information regarding the American Legion and its pro-grams should call 860.928.6772 or e-mail [email protected].

So what better way to cherish and admire old flea market finds than to make them practical once again? At flea markets, Pacheco will find old movie projectors from the 20s, pieces of old cars and tractors, old barn lights . . . Pacheco isn’t sure what he’s really looking for. Nothing in particular. But if he looks at something twice “he’ll grab it.” But he doesn’t really have a plan from there.

“My favorite piece is called ‘You Turn Me On,’” said Pacheco. “It’s a bunch of pipes and valves. I don’t know. It has all the knobs and valves to turn. The fun part is also coming up with the names.”

For Pacheco, creating the lamps makes him happy. He feels good seeing the unique pieces put to use instead of being thrown away.

“I don’t really look at art,” he said. “I’m not really interested in looking at the Mona Lisa. Art is just what makes you look at things more than once and wonder about it. That’s what these

lamps are. I want people to wonder, ‘What the heck are these things?’ ”

And that’s exactly what patrons have been doing when they see his lamps inside the Sochor Art Gallery on Main Street in Putnam, where he’s been a

featured artist for the past month.When he’s not creating lamps,

Pacheco said he likes to golf. He also likes to go up to New Hampshire to look at antiques. He also likes to fre-quent Aruba with his wife.

Friday, June 23Woodstock 9/10 All Stars 15,

Brooklyn/Pomfret/Eastford All-Stars 14

The Woodstock 9/10 All Star Softball team defeated the Brooklyn/PELL All Stars 15-14 in a thrilling come from behind win in Brooklyn. Trailing 14-9 with two outs and the bases empty in the bottom of the fifth inning, things looked bleak for the Woodstock girls, but Sarah McArthur drew a walk, fol-lowed by an RBI double off the bat of Reegan Reynolds to cut

the deficit to 14-10. Summer Espeseth then walked and Kaya Nichols followed with an RBI single to make it 14-12. After another walk to Eva Monahan, Madison Matthews singled to tie the game, and then took advantage of some wild throws by Brooklyn to circle the bases and score to make it 15-14, completing the improb-able comeback. Kaya Nichols then shut the door in the top of the sixth, with the help of a fine play by shortstop Sarah McArthur, to seal the win.

Summer Espeseth started the game for Woodstock, toss-

ing three innings and strik-ing out eight Brooklyn hit-ters. Kaya Nichols was bril-liant in her three innings of relief work, striking out five Brooklyn batters while walk-ing only one. Reagan Reynolds led the way offensively with two hits and two RBIs. Also collecting hits for Woodstock were Kaya Nichols, Madison Matthews and Ellary Sampson, while Summer Espeseth drew four walks and scored three runs. Defensively, Eva Monahan caught a great game, while Sarah McArthur, Summer Espeseth, Reagan

Reynolds, Madison Matthews and Ellary Sampson all made nice plays in the field.

Day Kimball Healthcare Cruisin’ For Cancer CarePUTNAM — Motorcycles and classic cars gathered at

Putnam’s municipal parking lot for the 14th annual Day Kimball Healthcare Cruisin’ For Cancer Care. The 70-mile motorcycle and car cruise ended at the Thompson Rod & Gun Club for a chicken barbeque, music, car judging and more. The money raised at the event remains local, benefit-ing the Northeast Connecticut Cancer Fund of Day Kimball Healthcare.


Bruce and Joann Smyth came with other members of the Worcester chapter of the Harley Owners Group (HOGS).

Bob Kovaleski works at Day Kimball Healthcare and he also rides.

“It’s a nice day to ride!” said Wendy Caron, with boyfriend Jeff Bartlett, “and it’s for a good cause.”

Ben and Judy Buell have been coming to the fundraiser since it started 14 years ago.

Michael Hanraham said he came to support the Day Kimball Hospital.

Peter and Sandy Massicotte and their grandson Luke with their ‘58 Chevy Impala.

It was Kathy Bowen’s third year participating in the cruise. “It’s a beautiful day for a ride!”

“I came out for a time time and a fun ride!” said Dennis Jimmis, who will ride his ‘37 Chevy the full 70 miles.

“We really need programs like this in Connecticut,” said Wayne Daniels, who came to support DKH’s cancer fund.

Debbie Perry of the Cruisin’ for Cancer Committee on her bike. Said Perry: “This specifically benefits cancer survivors. I recently lost my sister-in-law to cancer so this is personal for me. The money goes towards patients’ care and transportation. It really makes a direct impact.”

“We’re riding with friends for a good cause!” said Moe and Margie Auger.

WOODSTOCK — On Thursday, June 29, the South Woodstock Baptist Church (originally the Second Baptist Church of Woodstock) celebrated its 225th anniversary. The church was organized on June 29, 1792 at the home of Jesse Bolles in Quasset Section of

Woodstock (where the Quasset Cemetery is cur-rently located). The Rev. Amos Wells was pastor from the founding until 1813. Under his leadership the membership more than doubled in three years to 76 parishioners in 1795. On January 4, 1844, it was voted to erect a house of worship in the village of South Woodstock

(on the current site where the church now stands) and was known as the Baptist Meeting House for the use of the Second Baptist Church and the Ecclesiastical Society.

Today over 200 people attend SWBC weekly for worship, Bible study, prayer meetings, and mission programs for all ages. In 2013 the church built an addi-tion to its building which is used by girl scouts, youth groups, and various community gatherings. Their upcom-ing Vacation Bible School program is free for children entering Kindergarten through fifth grade during the week of July 10. On Sunday, June 25, 2017 the church gathered for a 225th anni-versary celebration, worship service, and baptism led by Pastor Robert D. Beckwith.

DAYVILLE — The bigger they are the harder they fall. The smaller they are, the eas-ier to teach. Good habits start early and the correct way to block and tackle can forestall football injuries down the road. The first steps on the path toward safety began for many youngsters on Killingly High School’s football field last Sunday at the Northeast Opportunities for Wellness/Quiet Corner Football Youth Football and Cheerleading Clinic.

Killingly High head coach Chad Neal directed the grid-iron clinic on June 25. Neal knows football can be hard work but he wanted Sunday’s young campers to know that in the end football is a game.

“Just to make sure they have fun. That’s the biggest thing, have fun. You want them to come back. You want them to play,” Neal said. “Have fun doing it and get them to come back. If you get them to come back, and then come back again — that’s the most import-ant thing.”

Neal is well aware of the importance of getting a head start on proper technique.

“The habits thing is the important thing — the good habits, proper technique,”

Neal said.Contact is generally reserved

for game day and the sport has become safer through more controlled practices at both the high school and youth level.

“Even with our practices (at Killingly High) there’s not much contact. Everything is against pads or controlled,” Neal said. “That’s the way it should be moving on up. Really the only time you should have a real full contact is game night. You want to simulate it a little bit in practice so they’re not going into the game blind with it — but really you just want good technique, good form.”

Neal said parents should have less worries than they might have had years ago.

“What we’ve found over time is with less contact you’re get-ting the form down, the tech-nique down,” Neal said. “You become better football play-ers.”

Sunday’s free clinic for aspiring football players and cheerleaders drew 101 partic-ipants from ages 5 to 15. The turnout was encouraging and the coaches seemed to enjoy the day as much as the young-sters.

“It’s just great to have fun with them. It’s a different atmosphere where you’re not preparing for a game,” Neal said. “You’re teaching a skill.

You’re seeing kids learning. The thing we’re going to tell the kids today — take one thing from today, if you take one thing it’s a successful day.”

The day also featured cheer-leading instruction. The New England Patriots sent a con-tingent of cheerleaders to the clinic along with Patriots Cheerleading coach Tracy Sormanti. A group of Killingly High football players volun-teered their time at the clinic. Neal was joined by several of his assistant coaches includ-ing Trevor Larrow and Chad Caffrey. Woodstock Academy head coach Sean Saucier was also on hand to help coach the youngsters and he said they can’t start too early.

“The purpose of the clin-ic was to get the kids out on a beautiful day like this, get them involved, introduce them to the game, hopefully let them have a lot of fun so they want to come back,” Saucier said. “But really it’s just about commu-nity involvement, getting the kids out and running around and hopefully having some fun.”

Like Neal, Saucier said teaching proper technique can’t start too early.

“The game has changed. Obviously there’s a real effort to make it safer and tackling techniques and all that — so

the sooner you introduce those techniques, and maybe put some parents’ minds at ease, that there are new techniques, there is new technology in the equipment,” Saucer said. “Hopefully the game’s heading in a safer direction.”

This was the seventh year of the NOW football and cheer-leading clinic. Northeast Opportunities for Wellness (NOW) supports equal oppor-tunity access for children to athletic training and coaching. The aim is to promote lifelong habits through health and well-ness — supporting emotional well-being and physical devel-opment.

NOW’s nutrition programs encourage the consumption of high-quality whole foods and teaches the importance of daily hydration. NOW also maintains athletic fields in Northeast Connecticut and offers financial assistance to help youths register for sports leagues. More information can be found on NOW’s website at NowinMotion.org.

The Woodstock/Pomfret/Thompson/Putnam Youth Football League was repre-sented by league officers man-ning a tent at Sunday’s clin-ic. Jared Murawski, coach of the WPTP’s C Squad, said the NOW clinic gets kids off to a safe start — and it’s a good

recruiting tool for the WPTP.“It’s a huge draw for us.

You’ve got a lot of kids around here that don’t know that we offer youth football outside of Killingly. WPTP’s numbers are starting to grow now. We’re trying to build a strong league where not only are we com-petitive but the kids learn the importance of teamwork, hard work, and dedication,” Murawski said.

The WPTP begins practices on July 21 and its season runs through the end of October. For more information on the WPTP, visit its website at WPTPJuniorfootballleague.com or call (860) 336-9988.

With some innovative instruction good habits got off to a head start last Sunday at the NOW/QCF Youth Football and Cheerleading Clinic. Coach Neal said the most important part of the game never changes.

“It should be fun. I mean that’s why you want to do it. We want our kids to have fun at the high school level,” Neal said. “We’re going to get better. We’re going to work hard. But we want to compete and have fun.”

THOMPSON — Tri-Town American Legion coach John Foucault stood in a flooded dug-out Tuesday following a downpour that cancelled that evening’s baseball game against Waterford. But there was a silver lining inside the rain cloud that passed over Tourtellotte Memorial’s baseball field. The June 27 thunderclaps also her-alded the first full week without high school

graduation ceremonies in the Quiet Corner — so Foucault won’t have to deal with a patchwork lineup for the rest of the season.

“Once we get through all that it’s huge. Obviously we want the kids to graduate. We don’t want them to miss their parties. It happens once in their lifetimes,” Foucault said. “Guys have had job orienta-tions, graduations, we understand that. We’re finally going to have our full crew after 15 games.”

Tri-Town represents American Legion posts in Woodstock, Putnam, and Thompson — and draws players from Woodstock Academy, Putnam High School, Tourtellotte Memorial in Thompson, and Ellis Tech in Danielson. So with a flurry of gradu-ations Foucault spent many a game thus far without some of his key players.

“It was always some-thing,” Foucault said. “Every day I mass text the guys ‘What do we got.?’ ”

Tri-Town’s record was 6-9 in Zone 6 through 15 games. Foucault expects a better winning percent-age as the season heads into the heart of summer beginning with the first day of July on Saturday.

“Now graduation is done. Vacations shouldn’t be starting for a couple of weeks,” Foucault said. “That’s a good thing.”

Tri-Town’s roster includes five catchers including Chuck Innes, Eric Preston, Mitchell Barylski, Aiden Ciquera, and Joe Bogoslofski — and that’s made his job a bit easier despite the patchwork lineups.

“We really have five catchers,” Foucault said. “That’s helped out a lot.”

And from here on out Foucault can take advantage of roster that includes 10 pitchers.

“There’s no excus-es now. We have to get that rotation going and we have to stretch them out,” Foucault said.

Tri-Town’s defense has been reliable despite the interchangeable parts.

“Our defense, even with the guys that hav-en’t been everyday start-ers, has been good,”

Foucault said. “Errors have been low. It’s our offense where we haven’t been capitalizing.”

The coach expects his batting to improve once he gets a stable lineup in place.

“You try to pair guys up in the batting order because they play off each other and they get protected by each other. If you can keep your straight nine, that you kind of really know, that definitely helps,” Foucault said. “If you have those guys that are all in the same spot all the time it’s a good thing.”

Foucault is looking for-ward to full dugout as the season heads down the homestretch.

“I’m looking for con-sistency in their play. And consistency means everybody shows up. Everybody’s here to play. That’s the biggest thing, everybody’s here,” Foucault said. “You can’t be guessing. You’ve got to know what you’re doing before you get on the field.”

Foucault is glad the graduation season is over and many of his players can now trade their mor-tar boards for baseball

caps.“That’s the last part

of the puzzle. The grad-uations are all done,” Foucault said. “We still have half the season to go, and we’re going to go for it.”

TRI-TOWN 4, LEDYARD 2

THOMPSON — Chuck Innes went doubled, tri-pled, and drove home one run to help Tri-Town defeat Ledyard-Pawcatuck on June 22 at Tourtellotte Memorial’s Field. Tri-Town’s Mitchel Barylski picked up the win on the mound, going six innings, strik-ing out four, scattering eight hits, and allowing two earned runs. Innes earned the save, allow-ing no hits and no runs while striking out one in one inning of relief. Luke Mathewson went 1-for-3 with one RBI, Adam Saucier went 1-for-3 with one RBI, and Ryan Whitehouse finished 2-for-2 at the plate for Tri-Town.
