Glass ball shooting wasintroduced in our villagefor the first time, we think,
on Fast-day, on the west-side. Theballs, about two inches in diameter,are sprung from a trap into the airat a distance of from 20 to 30 feet,flying from the marksmen, who fireat a distance from the trap of some30 to 40 feet, using a shotgun”(Windham County Transcript,March 28, 1883).
This entry immediately peakedmy curiosity since, as an olderteenager growing up inPennsylvania, I had tried to learnhow to throw clay pigeons for myfather. Clay pigeons, not glass balls.I wondered what the glass ballswere like and when and how thesport had come about. Mention of aBogardus Standard single trap inan August entry gave me enough totry a Google search (WCT, Aug. 1,1883). I was not disappointed, forthere were many entries to choosefrom.
Early competitions evolved fromduck hunting and used live birdssuch as pigeons. It was “called trap-shooting at the time due to the facta live bird was released from atrap.” Charles Portlak was givencredit for changing the casualshoots to a competitive sport, withthe first competition being held inBoston in 1867. The device that wasbeing used to eject the ball releasedit in only one direction, thus provid-ing little surprise to the shooter. Totry to compensate for this deficien-cy, however, it was common to usethree traps at one time. Capt. AdamBogardus remedied the situationwhen he invented the “first practi-cal glass trap in 1877. This trapthrew the ball at least 60 feetthrough the air in a very long arc.”Bogardus also experimented withthe glass balls and altered theirdesign to facilitate breakage. Anumber have been passed down as
Christmas ornaments. A photo ofBogardus, pictures of various trapsand the glass balls can be viewed atthe following sites: www.glswrk-auction.com orwww.traphof.org/roadtoyester-day/december2006.htm.
The late winter of 1883 saw anincrease in interest in competitiveshooting in this area. “The shootinggallery in Jencks’ hardware store isthe resort of local marksmen, whohave made some excellent scores.The range is about 50 feet. The high-est score was made by WilliamKeach, who broke 14 out of a possi-ble 21. G. Chase 4 out of 7; F.Dominic 2 out of 6; E. Fitch 2 out of2; F. Shumway 2 out of 15; A.Higgins 1 out of 2; J. Cogswell 1 outof 4. After the glass ball shooting,several indulged in rifle practice, ata 100 yards range, four-inch bull’s-eye. Everett Smith scored threebull’s-eyes, E. C. Babson and A.Higgins each one. Excellent shoot-ing for amateurs, who have had lit-tle or no practice” (WCT, March 28,1883).
By August of that year, the mendecided to form a club for the pur-pose of glass ball shooting. “Theyhave purchased a BogardusStandard single trap, and will usethe composition target ball. This issaid to be equally as good as theglass ball, and has one advantageover the latter, as it evaporates soonafter being broken and leaves notrace behind. The club has chosen
no officers as yet, but in the courseof a few weeks will fully organizeand get under way…” (WCT, Aug. 1,1883).
In addition to target shooting,fancy rifle shooting stirred theinterest of the men of the area totry their skill. “When ‘TexasCharlie’ gave his exhibition offancy rifle shooting with theKickapoo Indians, several weekssince, it was greatly admired andpronounced by all who witnessed itto be wonderful shooting. But theywill be loath to believe, we fancy,that one of our citizens — Mr.George Jencks — upon the firstattempt performed precisely thesame feats with the rifle as did thelong-haired scout from the West.The latter did his shooting in theevening, at a distance of not over 20feet, using a large potato each timefor a target. Mr. Jencks shot in thedaytime, firing at a target 4 x 4 1/2inches, with an inch bull’s-eye, dis-tance, 30 feet. Both used aRemington rifle, 22 calibre. Mr.Jencks fired 11 shots — using asmall mirror and in the same posi-tions as did Texas Charlie — at thetarget, six of which hit the bulls-eye, the others being within one-half inch. Three other shots werefired without the use of the mirror.With one he sniffed the candle; withanother he cut the ashes from acigar in the mouth of one of hisemployees, and the third he cut thefire of the cigar. The shooting wasdone in Mr. Jenck’s store, and canbe vouched for by several who wit-nessed it. The target may be seen inthe store. He has had considerablerifle practice at a short range, butthis was the first time he had everattempted fancy shooting with amirror” (WCT, Aug. 1, 1883).
This time of year many of ourresidents begin to think of huntingfor deer and other game. Perhapssome will take the time to reflect on
this bygone era whenglass ball shootingwas all the rage.Perhaps someoneeven remembers anelderly relative men-tioning the sportyears ago. If so,please share yourtales.

Board takes action on school oil tank BY MATT SANDERSONVILLAGER STAFF WRITER
BROOKLYN — Covering the cost of uti-lizing the town’s mass decontaminationunit, designating the funds for the mid-dle school oil tank project and appoint-ing a new board member were itemstaken up at the special Board of Financemeeting held Monday night, Nov. 24.
The board unanimously voted to desig-nate the $72,248 that covers the expensesof installing an aboveground oil tank atthe middle school back to the Board ofEducation from the town’s general fundsbalance.
Chairman Joe Voccio also had theboard vote on reimbursing the Board ofEducation with the balance of $9,075.95,which covers the cost of removing theold oil tank.
Jeff Otto, Board of Education andBoard of Finance liaison, presentedresearch pertaining to the Connecticutmass decontamination trailer, which hasbeen owned and maintained by theMortlake Fire Company for the past twoyears. The unit, which he said is one of34 in the state, is used in emergenciessuch as a hazardous materials spill or ananthrax scare.
Otto said the radio tower, located onthe trailer, is so tall that it is impossibleto park anywhere with a 12-foot or lesscover height.
“So we had to take it off,” he said, “but
that makes it useless.”Otto said the town has talked to the
state’s Homeland Security and FirstSelectman Roger Engle and found thatthey could purchase a pneumatic cylin-der to go on the trailer to replace the tallradio antennae. He said he received aquote of between $6,500 and $6,700 to pur-chase the cylinder.
According to national cylinder suppli-er Air Cylinders Direct, a pneumaticcylinder is a mechanical device thatfunctions as a piston that converts poten-tial energy of compressed gas into kinet-ic energy.
The board voted to transfer $6,776.61from miscellaneous grants to a capitaland non-recurring expense funds bal-ance to cover the cost of purchasing theequipment for the mass decontaminationunit.
Otto said the fire company would coverany additional expenses incurred. At nocost to taxpayers, the board agreed tobuy the device, and then turn it over tothe town for reimbursement.
Also at the meeting, Rick Ives, currentmember of the Democratic TownCommittee, was appointed to replace out-going board member Tom Dziki.
In addition, Voccio presented the boardwith a draft memorandum of the agree-ment between the Board of Finance andthe Board of Selectmen regarding thepension plan review. Discussion on theplan was tabled for the December Board
of Finance meeting.Board member David Fuss and
Selectman Austin Tanner gave an updateon the middle school project to replacethe problematic north wall in the gym.Tanner said the School BuildingCommittee has received change orderson the project and will be wrapping updiscussion soon to bid on a company tomove the project forward.
Fuss suggested that soil testing mightbe needed due to the duration of watercollection on the north wall side of thegym. The Board of Education will pre-sent a report at its December meeting.
Otto reported at the end of the meetingthat there is an ongoing dispute betweenKillingly and Brooklyn Public Schoolson covering a $20,000 expense of twoKillingly High School students fromBrooklyn who were enrolled but neverwent.
“Brooklyn is prepared to bring this toa higher level,” said Otto.
“It’s excessively rigid,” said Voccio. “A$20,000 bill may not be a lot in Killingly,but it is in Brooklyn.”

On Dec. 12, 1799, GeorgeWashington went out to inspecthis plantation in Virginia. The
robust 68-year-old president rode hishorse around in heavy snowfall forabout five hours. The weather was cold(33 degrees F), cloudy and windy. Thenext day, Washington complained of asore throat, but went riding again any-way to mark some trees he wanted cutdown. On Dec. 14, he was struggling tobreathe. The estate overseer gave him amedicinal mixture of molasses, vine-gar and butter. Washington almost suf-focated trying to swallow the concoc-tion. The president continued to deteri-orate and died a tranquil death laterthat evening. Exposure was clearly afactor. (However, it probably didn’t helpthat the overseer and doctors drained 5to 7 pints of his blood over a period ofnine or 10 hours. Bloodletting was apopular remedy back then.) (Source:V.V. Vadakan, MD).
Washington was not the only one tosuccumb to nasty weather. On a moun-taineering trip, one of my husbandDoug’s climbing partners, who shallremain Nameless, was exhausted andfell asleep next to his sleeping bag.When Doug awoke in the middle of thenight, he saw an immobile, incoherentNameless sitting up, his ice-coatedglasses frozen to his face. To revivehim, Doug and his other partnerdragged him into their nearby car andcranked up the heat. Nameless prompt-ly threw up into the heating vent. (Foryears afterwards, car occupants werearomatically reminded of the mishapevery time the heat was turned on.)
The 2008 Accidents in NorthAmerican Mountaineering describesan outdoor adventure with a more trag-ic ending. Friends Peter Noble andScott Berry set out to summitCathedral Peak in Yosemite. They hadresearched the climb thoroughly andknew it was within their technical abil-ities. They also knew November wasstorm season, but the forecast was for
sun and clouds. Before heading out,they didn’t check for a weather update.Their cell phone’s clock was wrong, sothey got off to a late start. Peter waswearing lightweight pants and a fleecesweater. Scott was in a T-shirt, light-weight jacket and heavy pants. Neitherhad warm hats or gloves. They lefttheir heavy raingear in the car, figur-ing, “What could possibly happen toprevent at least one of us from comingout for help?” Later, they stashed theirpacks on a ledge to avoid having tocarry them all day up the rock climb.They didn’t keep track of the time.
They were having fun until thestorm hit. By the time things got des-perate, they couldn’t get a cell phonesignal, even though reception had beenexcellent earlier. It was pitch darkwhen their headlamp broke in a fall.Soaked and freezing from the wind,sleet, ice, snow and cold, hypothermiaset in. Their movements slowed, coor-dination suffered, judgment dulled andthey became disoriented.
There was no accessible shelter andno way to make a fire. Exhausted, dehy-drated and numb, they struggled todescend. Unbeknownst to them, theypassed within 30 feet of their packs asthey rappelled and crawled down themountain. After they had been goingnonstop for 16 hours, Peter began tohallucinate and then rolled onto hisback. Scott yelled, “Peter, you have toget up or you’ll die!”
“That’s OK,” Peter said calmly, andthen asked, “Who are all these peoplearound us?”
Scott replied, “They’re our friends,”now certain neither of them would sur-vive.
Peter said, “Oh, it’s OK then.”They had moved a tiny bit further
when Peter asked, “What is that brightlight over there?” As Scott turned tolook, Peter collapsed onto his back, arattle emanated from his throat, and helay still.
Scott could not check for a pulse ashe had lost feeling in his hands hoursago and was shaking too hard to listenfor breathing. Fifteen minutes of CPRproved fruitless, so Scott continued onto get help. He crawled and fell foranother mile and a half, but by then itwas too late. After six months, the feel-ing returned to Scott’s fingers and toes,the shooting pains in his hands sub-sided and his short-term memoryimproved. But his friend is gone forev-er.
Both the beginner and experiencedcan succumb to tragedies in the out-doors, even on easy excursions.“Unlikely” events happen, like storms,lost or failed gear, and injuries. Latestarts or returns, and insufficient cloth-ing for prolonged and full exposure tonasty weather can be deadly. See nextweek’s article for tips on preventingand dealing with hypothermia.

The Killingly Intermediate School held a food drive last week, led by the National Junior Honor Society and advisor Maryann Yurek. The competition wasbetween grades five through eight to see which could collect the most food by weight. Every grade level brought in food and it was weighed. A feather(one for every 3 pounds) was placed on a cut-out turkey to illustrate how much food was collected. As the contest entered its last day of collection, thecompetition heated up, according to Principal Sheryl Kempain. Students called home for donations, teachers went to the grocery store during theirlunchtime and parents arrived at school with more and more food, including turkeys. The final tally was the sixth grade having 1,051 pounds of food, thefifth grade with 898 pounds, the eighth grade with 409 pounds and the seventh grade with 397 pounds. Altogether, 2,766 pounds of food was collectedand $40 in cash. Kempain said the school is extremely proud of their students and the caring shown by families.

Children’s Musical Honk! Juniorcoming to Capitol Theater
Morin retires after 52 years of volunteer serviceBY CHENOA PIERCEVILLAGER STAFF WRITER
THOMPSON — When Edward “Taxi”Morin began volunteering his time as anambulance driver for the Community FireDepartment in North Grosvenordale, thepreferred ambulance of choice was aCadillac.
Morin joined the Community FireDepartment in 1953, but did not become afull-time volunteer until 1956, he said.
He got involved in the department as away to help others, “like everybody intown,” he said.
During his time with the Community FireDepartment, Morin served as a firefighter,member of the Special Fire Police, officer ofthe department and ambulance driver. Forseveral years, Morin was even the top cop ofthe Fire Police.
“I was captain of the Fire Police,” saidMorin, who got his nickname “Taxi” whenhe was 5 and all the boys had nicknames. “Iwas captain for quite awhile.”
Morin said he kept the position because itwas a job somebody needed to have. When afriend expressed an interest in being cap-tain, Morin said he gladly stepped aside forthe few short years that the friend held theposition before taking it on once more.
“He left to go to Florida, so the job cameback to me,” he said.
Most of Morin’s volunteer hours werespent driving the ambulance to accidentscenes and hospitals, a job he said heenjoyed doing.
“I drove the ambulance a lot,” he recalled.Driving one of today’s style ambulances
compared to the Cadillac ambulances of oldnever phased Morin, who said he had notrouble making the switch.
“[It] didn’t make any difference,” he said,adding that driving trucks as part of hisbusiness helped. During his volunteer time,he owned Morin’s Bottled Gas, a propanecompany, for nearly three decades beforeretiring from that profession. He did most ofthe service work and had an employee who
took care of the rest.“I had that business for 27 years,” he said.While volunteering for department,
Morin was on call 24 hours a day, seven daysa week, and responded to each and everycall he could.
“It wasn’t an eight-hour shift,” he said.Transporting people to the hospital from
the scene of an accident or other emergencywas definitely a lot different than today,according to Morin.
“It was easier to transport people [backthen],” he said.
When he first began driving the ambu-lance around, Morin said, patients weretaken from the house to the ambulance andimmediately transported to whatever hospi-tal they were going to. Now, the patient’svitals, such as pulse and blood pressure,need to be taken before he or she is trans-ported. Regulations have changed as well,and these make it difficult to get the jobdone right, according to Morin.
In addition, Morin said EmergencyMedical Technicians (EMTs) and otheremergency personnel need to almost be cer-tified doctors in order to hold enter the pro-fession and work with patients.
Though he has retired, Morin remainsinvolved in the service. He visits the fire sta-tion daily, and his name has been placed onthe General Committee along with otherretired volunteers. Having his name on thelist allows him to stay involved in thedepartment, speak at meetings, vote onissues and more.
Being on the committee keeps him andthe other retired volunteers involved, said
Morin.Following his retirement announcement,
Morin’s friends, family and CommunityFire Department colleagues threw him asurprise party on Nov. 16, when he was pre-sented with a plaque to commemorate hisvolunteer work, as well as a proclamationfrom the Board of Selectmen recognizingthe services he has provided to the townover the years.
Morin said he tried to personally thankeveryone during the party, but said that hewould like to thank everyone who had ahand in the event, because he truly was sur-prised.
“I want to thank everybody for the won-derful time I had,” he said. “I tried to get toeveryone to thank them, but there were so
many of them. … I want to thank them verymuch, and it really was a surprise.”
Now that he has retired, Morin plans tospend a lot of time on his hobby — wood-working. Morin makes knickknack shelves,birdhouses, cabinets, wall shelves andmore.
“It’s just a hobby,” he said, noting that hedoes not sell his work.

VOLUNTEER FIREFIGHTER
War exhibit to remain on display for a year she said.
LaBerge said the effort would nothave happened without the help ofhistorical society members andarea residents who donated items,such as Asa Carroll’s Civil Wardiary or Bernice Pacitto’s U.S. AirForce Korean War women’s uni-form.
A black cast iron English naval 2-pound long gun cannon, datingback to the post-Revolutionary Warera (circa 1780-1820) was donatedfrom The Dorothy D. Smith Trustand Edith Mongall, trustee. It wasrefurbished by Brooklyn Cub ScoutPack 44, Den 4.
A display is set up next to the castiron cannon that depicts the
posthumous award to EdwardWashburn Whitaker, of Killinglyand Ashford, who served in theArmy and whose name resides inthe Connecticut Veterans Hall ofFame.
Enlisted records and memorabil-ia from the Spanish-American War,the Civil War, World War I, WorldWar II, the Korean Conflict and thePhilippine Insurrection are allavailable in some form. Some ofthe records were donated by theByron A. Carroll VFW Post No.4908 Memorial Hall in EastKillingly.
Ledgers, medical records, a“med” box (still containing somepills and other medications), acatheter scale and other accountswere also donated.
LaBerge contributed severalitems and records from her fami-
ly’s military history.The Mazzarella Family donated
numerous items, such as a Marinedress World War II uniform. PatLaTour donated a World War IINavy uniform, while Susan Horncontributed an Army officer’s uni-form from World War II of Dr. CarlBooth. Jean Grandelski donated anenlisted Army uniform from WorldWar I. Some uniforms are hangingon display, while others are fitted toa male or female mannequin.
Executive Director MarilynLabbe said she grew up in the 1940sand 1950s and was too little to knowanything about World War II, butremembers the air raid drill andwas never afraid of it.
“When I found the ration stampsin my mom’s house, it broughthome the reality of what it wasreally like at the time trying to buy
gasoline, fuel oil and food,” shesaid. “Then, when I found rationstamp booklets with my name onthem, it really surprised me.”
Labbe said the whole display andveterans recognition program wasto thank the veterans and remindpeople of what they have done forU.S. citizens of the past, presentand future.
“Also, [of what] our families hadto deal with during World War II aswell as wars before and after,”Labbe added.
Labbe cited her aunt’s diarydated from a day in 1946. It states:“Barbara and Andy and the girlsare coming to visit and there is nomeat anywhere. So, I made bakedbeans and potato salad for themeal.”
“I had no idea that even in 1946there was a shortage of meat,” said
Labbe.Some of the other exhibit’s dona-
tors include Diane Allen, theLedogar Family, Richard Gardner,Terry Sandsbury, Glenna Bruno, AlBruno, Gloria Bergeron, JosephChauvin, the Renaud Family,Natalie Coolidge, George Meehan,Dr. E.A. Hill, Chester Walps andJoy Cunneen.

“This Christmas I am notdecorating with brocade andgolden angels,” declared myfriend on our early morningwalk. As a devoted decorator,she is opting for a simple redand white color scheme. Wemirror our times, and no oneneeds to be reminded that
things arenot prosper-ous. Ourholiday fan-tasies willfocus moreon theh e a r t f e l tand less onbling.
Once thelast bowl ofturkey soupis con-sumed, the
shopping begins. This year isshaping up to be the excep-tion, despite the easy accesswe have to the new shoppingmall in Dayville.
The mall stores are burst-ing with merchandise, cho-sen before the current eco-nomic decline. It’s hard toimagine where all the pur-chasers are going to comefrom to buy the gadgets atBed, Bath and Beyond, orhow many handcrafters itwill take to make the newMichael’s a success. TJ Maxxis clean and well organizedwith familiar faces manningthe registers, but even it willbe challenged by newfoundfrugality. Petco lets dogsshop, so my four-leggedfriends will enjoy a tour ofthe dog toys.
It feels good to cut back.Natural frugality is easier tosustain than exuberant pur-chasing. We have far morethan we need to wear, eat andentertain ourselves. Thepotluck can replace the cock-tail party and the handmadeinstead of the frivolous fash-ion item. Bella’s in Putnamwill offer old-fashioned rib-bon candy, which can slakeour sugar craving as easily asa box of Godivas.
The Holiday Razzle DazzleParade in Putnam canreplace a trip to Radio City tosee the Rockettes. Word has itthat Phyllis Plowman fromthe eponymous bakery willwave at the multitudes from aspecial float to commemorate20 years in business. IfPhyllis can manage a fewhigh kicks, it will triggermemories of the New YorkCity extravaganza. If candyis tossed to the crowds, I maycatch enough to fill our fami-ly Christmas stockings.
If you’ve ever makeChristmas wreaths, youknow it takes about half a tonof material and many hours.A number of local churches,including Christ Church inPomfret, will sell wreaths.This is the year to buy a local-ly grown Christmas tree andpick up decorative item atholiday fairs. We need ourinstitutions more than ever,and they can’t flourish with-out a bit of cash. Churchfairs are brimming with inex-pensive items that make goodgifts. It’s fun to go to aChristmas tree farm andselect a fresh tree. Now thatretailers bale the tree, it iseasy to stuff it in the car ortie it on top.
Let’s replace this year’sversion of Tickle Me Elmowith a stuffed animal fromFinders Keepers in Putnam, alive one from the NECOGshelter or a breeder of one’schoice. We are warned ofadopting pets during the holi-days, but gift giving doesn’thappen very often. A cozyanimal, real or stuffed, pro-vides a lot of comfort in hardtimes.
This year the most valuablegift may be a hearty dose ofart appreciation. As the stockmarket bounces around, wecan still be transported bythe NE Concert Choir singingthe “Messiah” Dec. 7 or givetickets to the P/Arts opera,La Traviata, on May 9, 2009.Artists in the Country offersstudio tours and the chanceto buy original items.
This may be the holidayseason for simple colors andsimple ways. As we look forthe solid and the hopeful, wecan enjoy cutting back bystaying closer to home and allit has to offer.

To the Editor:
Deborah Benoit, 28, mother of four, died … 2010.No, this is not some strange attempt to remake anarticle from “Early Edition”; this is what you willbe printing for my obituary unless somethingchanges. I have pancreatic cancer.
Thankfully, I’ve been told that mine is “slow mov-ing” — at least as slow moving as pancreatic cancercan be, and I have already had the part that hit myother organs. The thing is, there is nothing else thatthey can do, at least not in the States, so now I wait… to die!
In Mexico, they have stem cell treatment withumbilical cord stem cells. In the Philippines theyhave a drug that cures it 67 percent of the time. TheUnited States still has to test all these before theywill be legal here. My state insurance will not payfor me to go overseas, I’m sure.
The problem is that not enough money is beinggiven to fund research in the states. At this point Iwish I had breast cancer. You see, information andfund-raisers are overflowing for women with breastcancer. The average five-year survival rate for thatis 92 percent. The average five-year survival rate forsomeone with pancreatic cancer is 5 percent.
Please urge Congress to increase funding for pan-creatic cancer research. For more information,please visit www.pancan.org/Public/take.html. Ido not ask you to do this for me, but rather for thechildren of all the patients facing an untimelydeath from this disease. They are the ones who arethe real victims.
Please note November is National PancreaticCancer Month.
DEBORAH BENOITPUTNAM
To the Editor:
The landscape in Brooklyn this fall is distinctly differ-ent than in past years. As usual, the lawns of thetown’s households are littered with the multicoloredhue of leaves that signal the oncoming winter. Somelawns, however, are covered with additional objectsthat seem out of place for this bucolic town. Theobjects in question are those garish, green “Wal-MartYES” signs that dot the town like a pox.I know the town is considering a blight officer, so Iassume that their first order of duty would be to havethese signs removed. All joking aside, the store itself (aproposed four-acre store, open 24 hours a day, year-round) would be a much greater blight on the land-scape of this town.The proposed store is at odds with the rural characterof this town. Brooklyn’s Web site portrays pastoralscenes of rolling green fields and New England stonewalls. It is this scenery that drew so many here fromsurrounding states. Am I to assume we are going to puta picture of a Wal-Mart Supercenter on the Web site aspart of the town’s marketing? I can see the tagline now,“Come to Brooklyn, Conn. — home of the country’soldest running agricultural fair and the latest in Wal-Mart Supercenter design!”Ask the majority of people in this town, or any town,why they relocated and they will give a variety of stan-dard answers. Common responses usually involve thequality of life, sense of community and good schools. Ihave yet to hear one person, when asked this question,say they moved to a town for big-box retail. Yet, basedon comments by local government officials and theWal-Mart P.R. machine, we are led to believe that thisstore will greatly benefit this town. Therefore, let usexplore this issue in detail.The two main arguments that are used to support theproposed Wal-Mart are that it will provide needed ser-vices to the town, as well as provide a tax break. TheWal-Mart spokesman stated in the press releaseregarding the store, and I am paraphrasing, “We arelooking forward to bringing services that are needed tothe town, as there is no grocery store in Brooklyn. Thestore will also have a greenhouse.”To say this town doesn’t have a grocery store is factu-ally accurate, but farcical. In the years preceding thisproposed store, I have yet to see anyone lack for gro-ceries in this town. The Big Y filled that need before,and now we have the option of a Super Stop & Shop inKillingly Commons. For non-grocery needs, Target hasan ample selection of reasonably priced merchandiseof higher quality. Lastly, we already have a locally-
owned greenhouse, Hart’s on Route 6 (not to mentionLowe’s in Killingly Commons).The next pillar of support for the new Wal-Mart playson the desire of the local taxpayer to pay less into thetown’s coffers. The proposed store, based on previousarticles, would bring in roughly $300,000 in revenueannually for the town. The most recent data shows thatBrooklyn has 2,531 occupied households. Some veryelementary math results in a savings to the taxpayer of$118 per household. This is far from a boon to the tax-payer in Brooklyn. Also, this does not account for anycosts the town must incur for maintaining the roadsand additional policing and fire/emergency servicesrendered.I am not against the idea of economic development inthis town. I am merely opposed to the overdevelopmentof this town. At this time, the town only has onerestaurant in the mid-range price category, Hank’s.The restaurant options are very limited in this town,as well as in the surrounding area. Development ofproperties on the Route 6 corridor would best servethis town in categories for which we are lacking, whilestill providing economic benefit. Wal-Mart does not fitthis criterion.When weighing the pros and cons of the proposedstore, I ask that residents recall why they first movedto Brooklyn. Like myself, I am sure it had a lot to dowith the character of the town and its natural beauty.Therefore, I request that they ask themselves the fol-lowing questions before giving the town’s elected offi-cials and Wal-Mart representatives their opinion onthe proposed store.Would they rather purchase a fake plastic Christmastree made in China than cut one down at one of thetree farms in town? Would they rather stare into thenight sky and see nothing due to the additional lightpollution from the 24-hour store, or see stars? Lastly,would they rather see discarded Wal-Mart bags travel-ing up thermals in the summer heat, or hawks doingso in acrobatic twirls? Me? You can find me with a saw in hand this holidayseason at Ingall’s tree farm. You can find me in myback yard teaching my children about the Big Dipper.You can find me in a hammock, marveling at the flightof majestic predators. Lastly, you will see me at everytown meeting that my schedule permits. I will be theresupporting the many others who want to preserve oursmall town and who reject Wal-Mart’s vision of asprawl-town. I hope I will see you there, too.

On Squantoand shopping
After an election as historic as the oneour nation just faced this past Nov. 4,it is time to celebrate all thingsAmerican. And as true Americans,
there’s only one thing to do: Eat so muchturkey, stuffing and sweet potato pie that wecan hardly roll out of our chairs, and then goto bed for three hours and get up to go … shop-
ping!What? You say you don’t
remember the part of thePilgrim Thanksgiving storywhere Squanto shows thoseearly Americans down nearPlymouth Rock how to har-vest coupons to Best Buy?You have been missing outon the greatest part ofAmerican folklore.
You see, long ago, somepeople fled England to cometo these shores so that theycould have freedom. Theonly problem was that thosealready living here —Squanto and his pals, if youwill — were quite displeased
with the plain manner of dress in which thePilgrims came, buckled hats and all. So theyinvented Thanksgiving so that the Pilgrimscould give thanks that someone had comealong to tell them that their breeches, gartersand stockings looked utterly ridiculous andthat they should try a new look — and what doyou know, 1600s-era Macy’s would be having asale the very next day.
So they drafted the Macy’s-MayflowerContract, after which they had a parade to cel-ebrate, writing: “Having undertaken, for theGlory of God and advancement of theChristian Faith and Fashion…”
At least that’s what the plastic Squanto inthe window of some department store willhave you believe, if you listen as closely as I doto the mythical words circulating around hishead: “One day only! $49.95! Only 100 avail-able!”
Ah, shopping. … And Squanto. … Once Ibought my very own Squanto. Actually, that isa lie. I bought my brother his very ownSquanto.
Squanto was a fish, a beta fish, named assuch by said younger brother when he was amere 10. Squanto had three siblings: Pepe,Jorge and Scie (pronounced “sky” but with acreative spelling per the 10-year-old’s request).They have absolutely nothing to do with thisstory.
Well, except that if the Pilgrims had beenfish rather than people, and if their nameswere Pepe, Jorge and Scie, maybe we wouldn’thave to deal with Black Friday nowadays.Because clearly fish named Pepe, Jorge andScie would not be caught dead wearing feltblack hats. Which, in turn, would never haverequired Squanto to feature them on his newshow, “What Not to Wear: Mayflower Edition.”
These details I’m giving you, of course, areall left out of your textbooks in the fourthgrade. Don’t let that fool you. Shopping is theAmerican way. George W. Bush even said soback in a press conference in 2006: “The unem-ployment rate has remained low, at 4.5 per-cent. A recent report on retail sales shows astrong beginning to the holiday shopping sea-son across the country — and I encourage youall to go shopping more.”
Clearly, in the two years since this sageadvice was offered, our economy and unem-ployment rate has taken a drastic turn for thebetter.
Or maybe not. Actually, clearly not. But noamount of shopping in the name of patriotismwill fix it.
This Black Friday, instead of following thecall to line up outside your favorite discountchain at 5 a.m. or earlier, in line for a numberto buy a big-ticket item, why not stay home?Instead of shopping in the name of patrio-tism, save your gas money in the name ofpatriotism so you won’t have to use so darnmuch of it that we need to be so dependent onoil in general — not just foreign oil — in thefirst place.
And, unless you like my revisionist versionof our happy Thanksgiving story, as com-pelling as it may be, reject the idea that ourconsumer culture places in your mind that wehave to buy, buy, buy all the time. In the spiritof the true Thanksgiving, we should — espe-cially the day after the holiday — give thanksfor the real things in life, like our families,friends and experiences we’ve all had together.
Economic times are rough right now. Manycompanies are and will likely continue to goout of business in the short-term. But insteadof shopping our way to a solution, maybe atruer solution is to find out that we never real-ly needed most of the things those companiessold in the first place.
Of course, an episode of “What Not to Wear:Mayflower Edition” might convince you other-wise.

KILLINGLY VILLAGER • A9Friday, November 28, 2008
To the Editor:
Unfortunately, there is plenty of “killerpotential” in Killingly. Excessive speed is themajor threat. A short ride on I-395 will provemy point. Simply drive the speed limit, and 95percent of the traffic will leave you behind inrear-view mirrors. Most motorists believethey’re cruising Germany’s Autobahn, wherethere is no speed limit. Posted signs don’t evendeter semi drivers. Rarely do I see anyone tick-eted.
However, other road signs and markers actu-ally qualify as our potential “killers.” Forthose traveling north on Route 12, there’s theambiguity of pavement markings at the Route101 intersection. Drivers have the option ofusing both lanes while negotiating a left turnon 101. Since this turn is perilously near an on-ramp to I-395, isn’t this a dangerous choice?Doesn’t this beg a sideswiping collision froman auto seeking the off-ramp from the far lane?All that really has to be done is to remove theleft turn arrow on Route 12 and restrict onelane to driving north.
Years ago, there was a directional arrow inuse at the busy intersection of Danielson’sMain and Water streets. This enabled driversto make a quick left turn before oncoming traf-fic. For some mystical reason, this arrow hasbeen done away with. Thanks to that “killer”gesture, motorists often can’t readily makethat turn when a long line of opposing trafficexists. This tries one’s patience, in addition toholding up a line of angry drivers in the rear.
Still on Main Street, a “Yield for Pedestrian”sign has been located across from CenterStreet and opposite Danielson Surplus SalesStores. The problem here is a slight turn in the
road, which can come quite unexpectedly andperhaps be deadly in wet weather. Either thesign ought to go or parking backed up on theright-hand side of the street.
Now, Cottage Street runs from Water Streetto Broad Street. However, just before the latterstreet, Cottage assumes two forks. They bothadmit two-way traffic when there is barelyspace for one vehicle, especially with the park-ing of school buses on the side of one outlet.Since the forks are within yards of each otheron Broad, why can’t each be restricted to one-way traffic? As it is now, this shapes up as a“killer” hazard.
Seasonal traffic lapses occur in Killingly.During the winter months at the juncture ofCook Hill Road and Terwilleger Road, there isno traffic problem. However, when the road-side bushes leaf out in the spring, drivers trav-eling west cannot see the motorists going eastfrom around the bend. Head-on collisionscould be a “killer” reality.
The time was when road construction wasbrief and was seen only during the summer.Today these repairs continue year-round.Therefore, a world about the flagging system.Many foreign-born motorists cannot read thewords “stop” and “slow,” much less interpretthe waving of a flagger’s arms. In addition,hardly anyone can see these words duringrainy or snowy weather. Why can’t flaggershave flags imitating traffic lights, a sold greenfor “go” and a solid red for “stop”?
Oh, almost forgot. They ought to renameCook Hill Road the “Indianapolis SpeedwayNo. 2” for elementary reasons.

OPINION
Brooklyn is a horrible location for a Wal-Mart Supercenter. Wal-Mart will put littlebusinesses out of business, so goodbyeBrooklyn Hardware, Brooklyn Market, etc. …There is already a Wal-Mart in Putnam 10miles away and a Supercenter 14 miles downRoute 6 in North Windham and anotherSupercenter 14 miles away in Lisbon. Why dothey need a Wal-Mart in Brooklyn? Maybethey’re looking to pull in people from RhodeIsland. If that’s the case, the traffic will be farworse than we could now imagine.
What do people want their community tolook like five, 10, 15, 20 years from now? Whatdo residents value, cherish about our town,and what are they willing to do to keep it thatway? This is the type of issue that hopefullycan get Brooklynites to start a visioning
process for the future of our town.I am not against retail growth. I am for
smart economic development. I want a townthat I enjoy hanging out in. (I don’t like hang-ing out in Wal-Mart.) Can we somehow getstores and businesses in here that will matchthe rural flavor of this beautiful area, attract-ing like-minded thoughtful retailers and citi-zens like ourselves? If we encourage econom-ic growth that is conscientious and appropri-ate for the size and character of our town, itwill increase the value of our land, attractinga better tax base. If we encourage uncheckedgrowth, Route 6 might well turn into anotherRoute 2 of Warwick, R.I., or Route 9 inShrewsbury, Mass. What do we want Brooklynto look like five or 10 or 20 years from now?
Thank you for letting my voice be heard.
What will Brooklyn look like in future?
The police are running another “Click It orTicket” campaign. Is that really the best use oftaxpayer dollars? Instead of lying in wait forunsuspecting motorists, shouldn’t the police
be looking for criminals? Do they really careabout our safety or do they just want to fine usto make the money? Are they police officers orare they tax collectors? I wonder.
‘Click It’ isn’t best use of tax money

Why buy art in a slow economy?
Iheard someone say, “I can’t buyan oil painting when I need tobuy oil for my furnace!” Yes,it’s true, we must first supply
our basic needs, but, consider, peo-ple buy art for different reasons.
Some are collectors hoping theirinvestments will grow in value — theylook for artists who have stayingpower; are serious; are in importantgalleries, collections and museums;and are still growing and exploring.
Others buy art “because it speaks tome.” I love this phrase. It expresseswhat all artists try to do — make a connectionwith the viewer. The artist tries to distill theexperiences of life and make a statement to theworld — an image, an ornament, a vessel thatbears an eternal idea. Sometimes they’re appre-ciated, sometimes not. Many of the greatimpressionist painters we revere today tradedtheir pictures for a dinner or a few francs.
Of course, not all art is pretty. Not manywould want Edvard Munch’s iconic painting“The Scream” hanging on their living roomwall, but this image is famous because of the
emotion it expresses so powerfully.Some art can remind us of a place
we visited — our grandmother’s rosegarden, a sandy childhood beach or aleafy forest. Portraits of family, petsand even our houses will always bewanted, even when money is scarce.That sunny painting will be a joy foryou on a cold New England day, andyou’ll enjoy your cool, misty seascapewhen the thermometer soars.
Critic Gustave Geffroy said peoplewho appreciate art are “in search ofdistraction from social life, alleviationof fatigue and love of eternal nature.”
So, why buy art in a slow economy? You’re notonly supporting the arts, but also enrichingyour life. Every time you look at your painting,you remember the idea and emotion that firstdrew you, and you enjoy it all over again!

A collection of nearly 170 American histo-ry lessons is now available online for free,thanks to a devoted and enthusiastic group ofConnecticut history teachers who participat-ed in EASTCONN’s federally fundedTeaching American History Project (TAHP).
“It’s a rich set of historically sound, con-tent-based classroom lessons and activitiesthat deal with higher-level thinking, prima-ry-source materials, and hands-on activitiesfor students,” said Dan Coughlin, who direct-ed the four-year-long TAHP for EASTCONN.
The TAHP U.S. history lessons for gradesfive through 12 can be downloaded for free byvisiting the EASTCONN Web site atwww.eastconn.org and clicking on “FreeHistory Lessons.”
The lessons, which vary in length and com-plexity, have already been used in classroomsand vetted for quality and content, Coughlinsaid. Many of the lessons can be adapted to
different grade levels.Educators can easily search the site for
grade-appropriate TAHP American historylessons, which are arranged in time periodsor eras.
Four of Woodstock Academy historyteacher Kim Jalet’s lessons are on the TAHPsite, including “Hitler’s Rise to Power,” “The7 Hats of the President,” “The Progressives”and “The Media and the Spanish AmericanWar.”
“All the TAHP lessons on the site seem fab-ulous,” said Jalet. “They all require studentsto examine primary sources and to draw con-clusions about history.”
Lyman Memorial High School historyteacher Cynthia Petrie’s lesson, “The 1920s:‘It was the Best of Times; It was the Worst ofTimes…,’” is also available online. Staffordfifth-grade teacher and TAHP alumnaMaureen Festi, who earned the coveted
national 2007 Preserve America HistoryTeacher of the Year Award last winter, hascontributed her history lessons to the TAHPcollection, as well.
TAHP participant Bobby Skarvelas, whoteaches American Studies at GlastonburyHigh School, has contributed an entire collec-tion of history lessons, many of them createdalong with another teacher, Ryan Broderick.Among those collaborative lessons are “U.S.Involvement in WWI: The Zimmerman Note”and “Analyzing Bias and Point of View — AStudy of Vietnam Through PrimaryResources.” Skarvelas said his own favoritesare “The Impact of War Photography inVietnam” and “Jim Crow Laws and theConstitution.”
Also available for free on the TAHP/EAST-CONN site are primary-source skills lessonsthat are not directly related to a historicalperiod, which many teachers may find use-
ful, Coughlin said.More than 65 Connecticut social studies
and history teachers have participated in theTAHP since the grant’s inception in 2004,Coughlin said, and every participant has con-tributed lesson plans to the online collection.The grant ended in June.
“They were a terrific group,” Coughlinsaid of the TAHP teachers. “They were veryhands-on. The goal was to allow them to dothe work of historians and, by extension, tohave them encourage their students to do thework of historians.”

Wal-Mart presents art renderings, site plans at open house
out the night.Members of the concerned citi-
zens group, Brooklyn for SensibleGrowth (www.brooklynforsensib-blegrowth.org), were standing out-side the senior center handing outfliers, asking others for supportagainst Wal-Mart coming to town.
The proposed 24-hour, 158,000-square-foot Supercenter willinclude a grocery store and a gro-cery center.
Wal-Mart gift bags were distrib-uted that contained several hand-outs explaining the new storedesigns, statistics, set goals toreduce shopping bag waste, jobopportunities, community out-reach, diversity, health care bene-fits, its $4 prescription programand its environmental sustainabili-ty goal.
The information distributionwas provided by Public StrategyGroup Inc., a national public rela-tions firm.
Architectural schematics, siteplans and graphic art renderingswere displayed, showing residentsa glimpse into Wal-Mart’s proposednew exterior design of using tanbricks and a curved front rooftopfacing the front of the proposedparking lot. It also displayed a newsymbol for Wal-Mart of six yellowlines pointing outward in a circleto the right of the company logo.Stores labeled “Market &Pharmacy” and “Home & Living”were separated from the mainentrance on the exterior. Therewere no interior art renderings.
The architectural work was pro-vided by Cross River Architects.
When confronting the render-ings, the computerized traffic flowpatterns or the bird’s-eye-view
Google™ Map image of the pro-posed Wal-Mart site, some resi-dents voiced their concerns ofallowing a large corporate storeinto their rural community.
Chris Buchanan, Wal-Martsenior manager of public affairsand government relations, said themost frequent questions asked byresidents were if the increasedtraffic, alleged light pollution orsupposed increased crime ratewould affect their daily lives.
Scott Thornton, traffic engineerfrom Vanesse and Associates, couldnot answer certain traffic-relatedquestions in great detail because,he said, the plans are still too pre-liminary to have any solid answer.He did say there is an average ofabout 16,000 cars per day on Route 6and that the traffic lights at theentrance and exit will be synchedup to the timing intervals of theremaining lights along ProvidenceRoad in east Brooklyn. Thorntoncould not name the exact timeintervals the current Route 6 trafficlights use.
Of the local and projected factspresented by Wal-Mart, it was saidhundreds of jobs will be createdwhen the new Supercenter comes.The average Wal-Mart wage for aregular full-time hourly associatein Connecticut is $12.14, and 9,403state residents are currentlyemployed, according to the com-pany.
It was also stated that Wal-Mart will generate “significant”local property tax revenues andit collected more than $68.2 mil-lion in sales tax on behalf ofConnecticut 2007-’08 fiscal year,according to the company. Inaddition, it was stated that Wal-Mart paid more than $15.5 mil-lion in state and local taxes inthe 2007-’08 fiscal year.
A figure presented by Dun &Bradstreet stated that Wal-Martspent $2,865,379,145 for mer-chandise and services with 442suppliers in Connecticut in the2007-’08 fiscal year, and as aresult of Wal-Mart’s relation-ship with these suppliers, itsupports 29,969 supplier jobs inthe state.
The corporation also statedthat in 2007, Wal-Mart andSam’s Club gave $1,399,182 incash and in-kind donations tolocal causes and organizationsin the communities they serve.
A public hearing will takeplace at the Inland WetlandsCommission at 6 p.m. Tuesdaynight, Dec. 9, regarding the Wal-Mart wetland permit applica-tion. It asks that Wal-Mart oper-ate at its proposed 25.5-acre siteat the intersection ofProvidence Road and BrickyardRoad with a discharge of stormwater within approximately 130feet of a wetland boundary.

Redgals volleyball hopes to improve next seasonBY BENJAMIN R. KIPP
VILLAGER SPORTS CORRESPONDENT
KILLINGLY — It wasn’t the bestyear for the Killingly Redgals vol-leyball team, but it wasn’t theworst one either. They finished thisseason with only three wins, but inthe fourth year of existence as avarsity sport, there are going to bethese type of years, where a teamwill take one on the chin for the bet-terment of the program’s future.
Head coach Dan Vogt wasn’t dis-appointed with the season’s results,but knew in the back of his mindthat getting past the three-winmark would be almost impossible.
“We made a lot of progress andwe are returning an entire teamnext year, so we were able to get alot of younger girls playing timethis year,” he said. “We played foursophomores quite a bit, so it’s going
to help us down the road.”The core — or future — of the
Redgals rests on his sophomoreclass, which includes JessicaFondelheit (middle hitter), MeganRobinson, Heather Gosselin andLaura Boughillier.
“She [Boughillier] played so wellat the junior varsity level, sheforced me to get her some playingtime at the varsity level toward theend of the season,” said Vogt. “Theother three played pretty much allseason long.”
Vogt’s goal going into the seasonwas twofold: first, to make sure thegirls played hard for all theirmatches while being competitive inthose matches regardless of thescore, and second, he wanted togive his sophomore class someplaying time to see how they wouldreact.
“I definitely feel that we accom-plished both of those goals,” hesaid. “We’re really excited aboutnext year and even the followingyear. Our junior varsity team hadthe most wins of any of our pastteams.”
Vogt didn’t have much of achoice to play these younger girls.He only had two seniors on thisyear’s team and only one that waswith the program from the firstyear.
“I think we took our lumps thisyear, but it’s only going to help uswhen we move forward. I had ahandful of juniors that played thisyear,” said Vogt.
The highlight to this year’s sea-son was the fact that one of theirthree wins came against LymanMemorial. Lyman Memorial has
traditionally been a top-notchEastern Connecticut Conferencesmall division team. The Redgalswere down 2-0 in games, thenfought back and won three straightgames.
“They were a very good team,”Vogt said. “We played them earlierin the year and they beat us, andthe second time we played we beatthem.”
Despite the losses, Vogt felt thegirls remained positive and workedhard all season long. The teamstruggled not from a lack of effort,more so from a lack of experience.Also, the lone senior, HeatherRacicot, led the team all seasonlong, and Vogt needed anothersenior or upperclassman to stepinto that role, which didn’t happen.
Racicot, however, deserved thetitle of captain not onlyfor being the program’sonly and first four-yearplayer, but for also beingthe team’s most consis-tent player.
“She had anotherreally good season,”Vogt said. “Her servingpercentage was the sec-ond highest we’ve everhad in a season.”
Her other statsweren’t as good, mostlybecause she didn’t havethe surrounding castaround her like she didlast year.
“The biggest thingwas we struggled with alack of consistency. Attimes we played reallywell and other times wedidn’t,” said Vogt. “Wealso didn’t have a go-togirl that could put theball away when we need-ed to.”

against the original intent of the act, whichwas to help cities and towns with high fore-closure rates, not just those with the highestnumber of foreclosed homes.
“High rates of foreclosures extend beyondcondensed rural areas,” he said.
The letter asks that Rell consider allocatingfunds to the eastern part of the state, whichholds the title of highest foreclosure rates inthe state. According to Courtney, WindhamCounty files 23 foreclosures for every 1,000recorded in the state, and the town ofPlainfield has the highest rate, with 35 fore-closures for every 1,000 recorded.
“It appears … that the $25 million was allo-
cated not by the rate of foreclosure and delin-quency, but by the sheer numbers, so thatsome of the hardest hit towns inConnecticut, many of which are located inthe eastern part of the state, will not be ableto avail themselves of any of theNeighborhood Stabilization Programmoney,” he said in his Nov. 6 letter to Rell.
The letter reflects the original intent of theact, suggesting that Rell redistribute thefunds so that all hard hit towns, includingthose in Eastern Connecticut, receive someof the money to help their housing marketget back on its feet.
Courtney said he has been in contact withEastern Connecticut officials, all of whomhave expressed a need for such funding.
“We have been talking with local officialssince Nov. 2, and the [message] is strong that
they need help,” he said.Some people may look at Courtney’s Nov. 6
letter and think that it’s a “parochial objec-tion,” he said, noting that he has watched thesituation from the beginning and is not theonly one who has noticed how the funds weredistributed. Instead of an objection, he saidthe letter was more of a contribution to thedecision-making process.
“I offer this letter in a spirit of contribu-tion,” he said.
Though he understands that each commu-nity is different and has its own needs,Courtney said the language of the programwas written the way it was for that reason.
“This is a country that has a lot of differentcommunities,” he said. “There’s a reasonCongress [wrote] the language they did.”
On Nov. 21, Courtney penned another letterto Rell on the subject, this one suggestingchanges to the DECD’s fund distribution pro-posal. In his letter, Courtney suggests redis-tributing the funds so that 70 percent of themoney goes directly to the towns and cities inthe state with the highest rates of foreclo-sure.
“… I ask you to devise a new formula fordistributing the NSP funds throughoutConnecticut,” he wrote. “I propose that 70percent of NSP funds be allocated to entitle-ment communities with priority given tothose with the highest foreclosure rates.”
He also suggested that the remaining 30percent go to communities with the highestestimated foreclosure abandonment risks orhave the highest predicted average 18-monthforeclosure rate.
Making these proposed changes wouldkeep the money distribution in line with thelanguage of the Neighborhood StabilizationProgram and with the original intent of theprogram.
Helping communities get back on their feetis critical in helping to rebuild the economy,according to Courtney, who cited realty as ahuge contributor to the economic crisis.
“I applaud the government [for] steppingup [to deal with] what I think is the rootcause of [this situation],” he said.
The DECD held a public forum on the mat-ter from Nov. 7 to 21, according to Courtney, tohear the thoughts, concerns and opinions ofthe public before the proposal is submitted tothe U.S. Department of Housing and UrbanDevelopment (HUD) in time for the Dec. 1deadline.

as soon as the market picks up.Currently, he and Daley are looking at either
erecting three largewind turbines onsite, orseveral small wind tur-bines that could bemounted on rooftops.The possibility of hav-ing both types of tur-bines on site hasn’tbeen ruled out, either.
“There are many,many efficient systemsout there for wind,”said Daley.
Since Briarwood
Falls is on an elevation in eastern Dayville over-looking the commercial district and beyond,the site already experiences a lot of wind andqualifies for wind technology.
“We have a guy from General Electric comingto check out the site,” said Daley.
Hendrickson said they would like to go with alocal wind technology company for the project.
Since the project is still preliminary, Daleysaid they won’t know much else until after theymeet with Williams next week. They know theywill go through all the permitting processeswith Killingly’s Planning and ZoningCommission, as well as other various boardsand commissions, once they have a better ideaof the project scope, funding and timeline.
Daley added that they have units availablewith a lease-to-buy option, and despite therecent economic conditions, there is still ademand for the type of housing BriarwoodFalls offers.
Daley hopes for community support andinterest with respect to the project and wel-comes anybody to come and view BriarwoodFalls to give input.
“We believe this will be beneficial for every-one both environmentally and economically,”said Hendrickson.

10 green things for food valueFinally, the price of gas has decreased.
Unfortunately, food costs have not. According tothe economists for USDA, overall retail foodprices from 2008 to 2010 are expected to risefaster than the general inflation rate. So what isa green consumer to do? Here are 10 things youcan do to get the most value from your food dol-lar while being friendly to the environment andagriculture.
1. Buy locally grown foods. These products
are of higher quality because they get to theconsumer as quickly as possible. Eight-five per-cent of all food consumed in New England istrucked in from other locations in the UnitedStates; 50 percent comes from foreign countries.So buying local circumvents transportationcosts and shelf life issues.
2. Purchase staples like flour, rice, driedfruits, nuts and other foods from bulk contain-ers where the consumer measures out the quan-tity. This cuts down on your food bill becauseyou only buy what you need, and it also keepcommodities from going stale on your pantryshelf.
3. Check the contents of value-added productsfor locally grown sources. The cost of jams andpreserves made with fruits produced in TheLast Green Valley do not include higher trans-portation and processing costs.
4. Eating locally means eating seasonally. Ifyou and your family begin to tire of seasonalproduce, look for some new recipes or season-ings to shake things up. For example, add cran-berries to apples when making a sauce.
5. Ask local grocers, bakers and restaurants ifthey purchase locally grown foods. The greaterthe demand from professional as well as home
consumers, the more we will ensure anincreased availability of local products in thefuture.
6. Ask your local dairy farmers where theysell their milk. Then purchase brands that sup-port local farms. Not only do you get high qual-ity and fresh dairy products, but you also pre-serve the beautiful rural vistas in our commu-nities by keeping the farms in business.
7. Cook from scratch. It really doesn’t takethat much time if the ingredients are in thehouse. This is a great alternative to processedfood of questionable nutrition and origin, and iteliminates more packaging that needs recy-cling.
8. Make more and freeze. This is very helpfulon a hectic day so you don’t have to resort toprocessed convenience food. Just remember tobe green and freeze in reusable containers.
9. Split large quantities with a friend. You getthe benefit of the cost savings on a large quanti-ty but for only the amount you really need. Italso saves on packaging that needs to be recy-cled.
10. Start a pantry — a special storage area forlarge quantities of food with long shelf life.That way you can take advantage of sales on
canned goods and buy them by the case for opti-mal savings. Remember to recycle those cans.

RELIGION
Although it was a nonfictionmovie I watched more than30 years ago, one scene is still
fresh in my mind. It is the shockedexpression of a man whoseabdomen has just been piercedthrough by a piece of wood,launched by a table saw that had noanti-kickback safety device. Iwatched the movie during the firstweek of my high school shop class.Our teachers were attempting to getus to slow down and pay attention.
Carelessness and distraction canhave similar effects on our “reallife.” It seems that we are all in ahurry to get somewhere. Where arewe going so fast? What is life reallyabout? With all our time-savingmachines and increased mobility,have our lives improved? Is the aver-age person more disciplined, betterbalanced, kinder and more produc-tive than in years past? Is your lifeimproving? How’s your focus?
In her book Distracted, MaggieJackson makes this interestingobservation: “The seduction ofalternative universes, the addictiveallure of multitasking people andthings, our near-religious alle-giance to a constant state of motion:these are markers of a land of dis-traction, in which our old concep-tions of space, time and place havebeen shattered. This is why we areless and less able to see, hear andcomprehend what’s relevant andpermanent, why so many of us feelthat we can barely keep our headsabove water, and our days aremarked by perpetual loose ends.
What’s more, the waning of ourpowers of attention is occurring atsuch a rate and in so many areas oflife, that the erosion is reachingcritical mass. We are on the verge oflosing our capacity as a society fordeep, sustained focus. In short, weare slipping toward a new darkage.”
St. Paul foretold a time whenmankind would be in a very dis-tressed state. See if you can see anyparallels to our society in what hesays: “You should know this,Timothy, that in the last days therewill be very difficult times. For peo-ple will love only themselves andtheir money. They will be boastfuland proud, scoffing at God, disobe-dient to their parents, and ungrate-ful. They will consider nothingsacred. They will be unloving andunforgiving; they will slander oth-ers and have no self-control. Theywill be cruel and hate what is good.They will betray their friends, bereckless, be puffed up with pride,and love pleasure rather than God.They will act religious, but they willreject the power that could make
them godly. Stay away from peoplelike that!” (II Timothy 3:1-5 NLT).
A few verses later, he describesthese people as “… ever learning,and never able to come to the knowl-edge of the truth” (II Timothy 3:7KJV). Could he be talking about ourgeneration? We live in a print-rich,fact-rich, entertainment-rich world.Ironically, it appears to be a worldwhere people are reading less,remembering less and enjoying less.
I have a suggestion as to how weall might slow down, pay attentionand turn the light back on in a darkage. My suggestion is a profoundlysimple, time-proven, God-given rem-edy — communion with the creator.Nothing gives focus like old-fash-ioned prayer and Bible reading.Prayer is our chance to talk withGod, and Bible reading is ourchance to hear him talk back.
