Otis Gazette
April 2013.
Its hard to believe 12 years ago I was working on my very first issue. My boys were only one and three years old, and most of my work was done while they napped or played on the floor. Now Isaac is 13 and Killian is 15 years old, growing up so fast. So much in life has happened since beginning this paper. Many of my life changing events have been shared here with all of you. Otis has been an amazing place with amazing people who have become such a part of my life. Its been a blessing to have the Otis Gazette and to have been able to work for myself all of these years. Now with my fianc Tyler with me its like another new exciting chapter in life. With hardships along the way, as so many of us have in our life, it really feels good to persevere and grab onto life and live it to the fullest. Live life, Love life, Prosper, Work Hard, Play Hard, and thank God for all the blessings in my life, no matter how big or small. And thanks to all of you, the readers, my advertisers, friends and family for the blessing of the Otis Gazette. Without all of you this labor of love would not be possible.

Ever wondered what those blue barrels were for at the Otis Transfer Station next to the cardboard compactor? They are the designated Deposit Returnable Soda/Beer Can & Bottle drop off point. Just taking a few extra seconds to drop them into the blue barrels, instead of into the trash compactor or recycling bin, helps fund the Otis Community. Volunteers from the AMVETS, FRRSD PTO, and the Otis Cultural Council dedicate their time to sort and process these returnables. Each of these organizations are non-profit and all proceeds go directly back into the community. Every nickel counts! AMVETS 2013 LOBSTER ROLL: 20 Apr 13 from 6:00pm 9:00pm at the Knox Trail Inn. Come on down for some fun and chances to win succulent lobster, cash, and other prizes. Raffle Tickets also on sale now! Contact Tom Soules at 269-6014. MILITARY FACTOID: The Boeing B-52 Stratofortress is a long-range strategic bomber designed to deliver both conventional and nuclear munitions. The B-52 took its maiden flight in April 1952. The B-52 just marked its 61th anniversary and will continue to serve into the 2040s. . . that will be over 90 years old!

Roberta J. Sarnacki, Chief of Police Otis Police Department, 1 North Main Road, Otis, MA 01253 Last week, members of the Otis and Sandisfield (413)-269-0100, ext. 6 Police Departments, along with members of the MA rsarnacki@gmail.com State Police and the Farmington River School, Office hours: Wed 7 PM-8:30 PM (Or by Appointment) attended a two day Emergency Management conference titled Multi-Hazards
Chiefs Corner April 2013
in the Schools. Several towns throughout the county combined their Police, Emergency Managers and School officials onto teams to identify and analyze numerous types of potential hazards. In terms of the town of Otis, we analyzed numerous weather related hazards, pipeline emergencies, as well as volatile individuals. We were encouraged to use this time to identify weaknesses and enhance our current Emergency Operations Plans in relation to each hazard. We concluded the second day of training by participating in a tabletop exercise, where we were faced with the scenario of an earthquake. We were informed that part of the school building had sustained severe damage, that some people were trapped, and that it would be at least several hours before emergency responders could get to our location. The scenario continued to worsen, but on a positive note, the exercise did allow us to take a good look at our current plan to see how well it could be implemented if faced with this type of emergency. On St. Patricks Day, several members of the Otis Police Department participated in the annual Holyoke St. Patricks Day parade. We were invited by the Parade Committee to form a Hilltown Contingent with members of the Blandford, Granville, and Russell Police Departments. We have posted pictures and a video of this event on our Facebook page. Thanks to Officer Beaulieu and Chief Hennessy of the Blandford P.D. for coordinating this event. What a great honor this was! Lastly, the Kops N Kids camp is right around the corner. Forms have gone home with students from Otis, Tolland, Sandisfield and Becket, and the camp is filling quickly. There is a link to sign up on the Otis Police Department Facebook page, and there is also a link from the town of Otis web site. Please leave a message on our department phone if you do not have Internet and would like to sign up your children. . **Please note that the dates were changed to Wednesday, April 17th, Thursday, April 18th, and Friday, April 19th (due to a scheduling conflict).**Plans for camp include the annual Senior Ice Cream Social and visits from the Otis Fire Department and Rescue Squad. We will also be taking a trip to Mystic Aquarium, and have scheduled a visit from Great Barrington Police K9 officer Tim Ullrich and his dog, Jori. Children will also be painting their own tiles to be used on the walls of our new space in the Police garage! We cant wait to see all of the kids again. Be safe, and please feel free to call or email us at the numbers above. Thank you. Chief Sarnacki

Otis citizens in Guinness Book of World Records !!!!!!!

On October 27, 2012, 48 people gathered together to at The Izaak Walton League Field, in Otis, MA to help me and National Geographic Kids magazine set TWO Guinness World Records titles: Most people to run 100 meters in 24 hours AND the largest collection of shoes for recycling. To break the records, more than 5,000 people worldwide needed to run 100 meters between noon ET October 26, 2012, and noon ET October 27, 2012, and more than 15,000 shoes were need to be collected and sent to National Geographic Society. I am excited to announce that we helped to set the records! This means when the 2014 edition of the Guinness Book of World Records comes out, we will be in it! Throughout the world 30,914 people participated and 16,407 shoes were collected!! Special thanks to my two independent witnesses; Lyn Minery and Kathleen Carroll, my steward; Angelina Dubourg, my course measurer Chris Bouchard, Berkshire Bank, and Advance Manufacturing for shipping the whopping 108 sneakers that we had collected. I would like to thank everyone who supported me, donated their old sneakers, and came to the event. For pictures and video you can go: www.kidsblogs.nationalgeographic.com/2013/02/04/guinness-world-record/ Look for another Guinness Book World Record attempt this fall !!! Haley Couch, Otis, MA

April is Earth Month ~ Tips for keeping both yourself AND the planet healthy By Kathi Casey, ERYT, CPI
April is Earth Month and a lot us are paying more attention to this little planet and how we treat it. I think 2013 may become known in the history of Otis as "Earth Year," hooray for our windmill! Theres a lot of attention being given to alternative energies and reducing our dependence on oil, and according to a recent magazine article that I read, more people are growing their own organic vegetables and purchasing more organic food than any generation before us. Otis is moving toward the top of my Earth Friendly list with the approval of our new windmill. I love windmills, always have! Here are some more ideas to keep both ourselves AND the planet healthy: 1. Starting or bringing back into your life more habits like biking, hiking and walking can save money, reduce air pollution, and decrease your own stress levels! Did you know that walking just 30 minutes a day can reduce your risk for cancer, heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and depression. Many people in other countries walk more, use bikes for transportation, grow more of their own food, and they do not have health issues like diabetes, obesity, heart disease in such high numbers as we do here in the US. Think of the energy well all save when everyone begins carrying cloth bags into the grocery store. No plastic grocery bags (made from petroleum) at all! Many of us do that already and the numbers are growing. And if you are close enough to walk to Katies or Terranovas instead of driving try it! Both your pocketbook AND your body will thank you. Just remember to do some active stretching first, that is, slow walking or maybe a few lunge walks to begin to stretch your muscles. Then after your bike ride or walk, sit on the floor with your legs extended. Bend your left knee and bring it towards your chest, moving your foot to your thigh. Then let that knee relax to the floor. If it doesn't go down to the floor,

rest it on a blanket or pillow. Inhale deeply as you face your right leg and stretch yourself out over that leg with a flat back. Breathe deeply for at least one minute as you stretch. Inhale your body back up, extend the left leg back out and then repeat with the right leg. This helps prevent those muscles from tightening up. 2. Growing your own veggies is another great idea. Many of us have large yards here in Otis. You can start with a small patch of lettuce and spinach or even just a few planters of tomatoes. Home grown tomatoes simply taste better than grocery store tomatoes, dont they? And if you grow them yourself, you can keep those harmful chemicals away good for the planet AND for your health. Or, you can stop at one of our many farm stands. I did that all last summer and the veggies were fresher and less expensive than the supermarket! If you're going to do some gardening, remember that stretching and flexing you spine is a good way to begin. Start by sitting tall in a straight chair with your feet on the floor. Inhale deeply as you slowly arch your spine, bringing your belly forward and head
back. Then exhale slowly as you curl your spine in the opposite direction. Start your movement each time with your tailbone so that you don't strain your neck. Continue for one minute, breathing deeply. Do this before starting your gardening project and repeat afterwards to prevent a nagging back ache after stooping over your plants. Happy planting! 3. Hydration is very important, however, the number of plastic bottles filled with water on grocery store shelves shocks me every time I see it! Its good to know that another Massachusetts town just banned those plastic bottles. Go Concord! Disposable plastic water bottles use precious petroleum resources to make, take up lots of space in landfills if you dont recycle them, and most of these bottles also leach harmful chemicals into the water you're drinking. Sounds like a bad plan all around, dont you think...? Purchasing a water filter for your tap water that attaches to the tap is a much better option. There are several of these on the market that are priced under $30.00 and work very well. The replacement filters are much less expensive than buying all those bottles at over a dollar each. And

they use carbon filters which do not clog up landfills. A simple water pitcher with a filter is even a cheaper, effective alternative. In addition, most department stores and catalogs now carry a variety of lovely stainless refillable water bottles. I have one which I carry with me in the car or take hiking and feel confident that I know exactly what's in (or not in) the water that I'm drinking. Plus, I can toss it in the dishwasher to clean it. How easy is that?! And remember, sipping slows your metabolism, so dont sip! Drink five ounces or more whenever you are thirsty. A better habit to get into is drinking a full glass of water when you are thirsty and then another when youre thirsty again or a glass before and after exercising to replace the fluids your body used up during exertion. 4. Fresh air is so important to the health of every living thing on the planet. One way to help preserve this gift of nature is to plant a tree. Yes, I have noticed there are a few trees in Otis... But you can never have too many! Many parks, recreation centers, nature preserves have provisions for the planting of trees by school or community groups, in memory of a loved one, or families wanting to give
this wonderful gift to others. You can usually find garden clubs or charities that have spring planting sales this time of year. Find a sale, pick up a small tree and plant it in your yard or a park, and then sit down by your tree and breathe deeply for several minutes. Smell the fresh air and know that you are helping to keep the air fresh for the next generation. The deep breathing will also bring fresh oxygen throughout your whole body, helping your organs, glands and muscles become healthier, reducing the amount of stress hormone floating around inside you and even helps lower your blood pressure. Now, that's multitasking at its best! If everyone agreed to use even two of these simple suggestions this month, to reduce the wear and tear on the planet, ourselves, and our pocketbooks, what a great impact we could make!

Dear Angel, I wanted to thank you sooo much for putting my clothing/household swap in the Gazette. I started this helping 15 families and due to your paper I am now helping 57 and its growing everyday! I have met so many wonderful people over the past 2 months who truly have become family.

We are helping people of all ages, like the new parents just starting out with baby gear, cribs ect, families working 2 jobs but the clothes for them and their kids help greatly, a mom just getting out of a homeless shelter is starting off with dishes and other house wares and is soo grateful for this. A soon to be college student got a mountain bike to get around campus, bedding and dorm art, a college grad received new suits to wear at his new job, our prek received 2 lakeshore cube chairs to use now and for
years to come, ect ect ect. I also met new friends whom we are starting a craft day at the shop to learn how to make baskets, candles, soap, canning veggies ect. sooo much more has come out of this I cannot put it in words. Please if you can run a small blurb in the paper again about this. I know spring cleaning is starting soon and if people want to donate there items to me I will gladly take them. they can call me Karen Yvon 848-2507 home number to set up a pick up/drop off time or to be added to my list of people looking for clothes, house wares ect. anything actually .I received 3 brand new bathroom sinks and trust me the people that received them were thrilled, they are 80.00 each at home depot!

"Miley's Cat Chat"

by Linda Bardsley, East Otis, MA
"Well, here it is April already. I am so ready for spring. Even though I have been cooped up all winter, I have managed to have some fun and get into a little trouble. My cat friends (Big Head, White Boy, and Tiger) have been coming around quite a bit. Mom put that bowl outside the bedroom window and I can sit up on top of a chest and watch everything....then I head to the basement where I can even talk to my friends through the window. Most of the time they just keep munching, but every now and then they will "check me out". I think Big Head likes me the best...Mom stopped filling the bowl at night though; because twice now there has been a HUGH possum out there. He does not run away when we make noise or bang on the window either. This is not what we had in mind when we wanted to bring some amusement into my ho-hum winter life. The folks also put a feeder out for the birds (think I told you that last month) and they have been coming around regularly...life is good. Pops has been preparing me for the car rides to Otis (coming soon, I hope) He has been carrying me out and walking around the yard. The coolest thing is when he takes me with him, in the morning, to start his car. At first it was a little scary, but I totally trust the dude...he always makes sure that I can still see the back door. I am kinda paranoid if he goes too far away from it. (I know I sound a lot braver than I truly am) The Easter Bunny came to visit us at the end of March....or so I was told..never saw the critter. As long as he stayed out of my food dishes, I am fine with it. Well, think I will go knock some things off the dresser and get Mom going....that always seems to get her attention! So, til next month...be happy, stay safe and always spoil your pets. They deserve it. Meow"

Town of Otis Selectboard Meeting Minutes 3-12-13

Respectfully Submitted, Lisa DOrazio, Selectmens Secretary
Meeting called to order at 7:08 pm in the Town Hall conference room. Chairman Sarnacki stated the meeting was being recorded. Present: Select Board Chair Roberta Sarnacki, Selectman Don Hawley, Selectman Brian Crandall, Chris Morris, Michael Ernst, Jim Crandall, Lenny Terranova, Jeanne Randorf, Mark Johnson, Hal Kobrin, Walter Engels, Jon Sakata Approval of Minutes: Brian made the motion to accept the minutes as amended for the February 25, 2013 All Boards meeting minutes as well as the amendments to the February 26, 2013 WWTP/Select Board Meeting, Don seconded, and the motion passed unanimously. The All Boards minutes were changed to reference the Bike Rodeo, and the Cultural Council section of the Select Board meeting minutes were also changed to reference the correct 4H group. Transfer Station Recycling Trailer: The AmVets, the PTO, and the Cultural Council presented a proposal for handling the sorting,
finances, and distribution of the recycling duties. Brian moved to accept their proposal, Don seconded, and the proposal was unanimously accepted. Cemetery Sexton: Lenny represented the Cemetery Commission and stated he felt the Sexton should be responsible for selling the plots, laying out the plots for burial, and place the cornerstones, as well as track who is buried where and who has purchased what. Lenny also felt that Maintenance should just be responsible for the upkeep and the Sexton should handle everything else. Lenny also suggested the Sexton be paid hourly as there are only five or six burials a year in town on average. The Select Board was thinking maybe a flat stipend and then collect a fee for each burial. Currently, the amount charged to open a grave goes to the town. The board asked Chris to check with surrounding towns to see how they pay their sextons so we have something to base this on.

This will be tabled until the next SBD meeting. Appointment to Historical Commission: Mary Adams applied for appointment to the Historical Commission and since no one from that commission was present at tonights meeting, she was unanimously appointed pending approval from the Historical Commission. Adopting new Provision: Lyn requested the Acts of 2012 Chapter 193 Section 11C to waive dog license fees for residents 70 years or older (also MGL Ch 140 Sec 139) be placed on the Annual Town Warrant and the board unanimously approved this request. Wind Energy Update: The grant money was okayed and we expect it in by the end of the week. We are waiting for WMECo, but SED should be ready to start the interconnection we should know for certain on Thursday of this week. And we have an attorney who specializes in energy law ready to draft an Energy Credit Purchase Agreement. Larry is requesting letters of support from both town boards and from residents. Other: Grant Update: Hal has begun working with
BRPC to create a GIS overlay of the existing sewer system. There will be another meeting in a week or so when BRPC is ready. Hal also noted that Pauls engineer friend, named Bob, has some great ideas for upgrading the sewer plant. Hal presented to the Planning Board at last nights meeting a plan from the Historical Commission that outlines what they would like to do for the East Otis lot. The 100 Acre Park report is 17 megabytes, digitized in 2004, and is available for review. Jim Crandall: He requested we come up with Animal Control regulations for the Town Hall. His maintenance crew had to clean up dog feces found on the floor, and his crew shouldnt have to clean up after dog owners. He wants a rule that will be enforced. The Select Board unanimously decided that there is no reason for pets in the Town Hall unless they are service dogs. Signatures: Lisa got signatures for the Mosquito Control agreement and noted to the board that we need to advertise for an animal inspector for the next fiscal year. The Select Board meeting was adjourned at 8:05 pm.

1925-2013 Mazie R. Schoonmaker of East Otis, Mass., 87, passed away peacefully in North Andover, Mass., on January 19, 2013, surrounded by family and loved ones. She was born Mazie Frances Russo on July 9, 1925, in Queens, New York, the daughter of Antonio and Mary (Mazzu) Russo. After graduating from Bishop McDonald High School, she worked for the Department of the Navy before marrying Charles Schoonmaker, Jr., in 1952. The couple, who resided in Northport, N.Y., had six children; Charles predeceased Mazie in 1984. For a number of years, Mazie was the owner and operator of the Northport Diner in Northport. She later ran the lunch program at St. Philip Neri Elementary School in Northport and was employed as a supervisor by the Internal Revenue Service in Holtsville, New York until her retirement in 1988. Mazie married Gilbert Rivera in 1991. After their retirement, Mazie and Gilbert settled in East Otis, where they were both devoted parishioners at St. Mary of the Lakes Mission. Mazie also became a leader of the local Council on Aging, serving as Trip Coordinator for many years. During that time, she organized outings to a wide variety of destinations - from Broadway shows to casinos. Gilbert predeceased Mazie in 2011. She leaves behind many loyal friends who created a wonderful community for Gilbert and her during their years in Otis. Mazie will be remembered for her devotion to family and friends, her amazing organizational skills, and the many parties, trips, and reunions she loved to orchestrate, where participants joined together to share great food, memorable times, and much love and laughter. Mazie was resilient and grounded in her faith, and she remained an optimistic, caring person throughout her life. Her greatest gifts to her children were her belief in their abilities, her constant encouragement, and her unconditional love.

Norma Agnes Perry Funk

93, long time Winsted resident, passed away at the Charlotte Hungerford Hospital in Torrington, CT on March 3, 2013 with a room overflowing with family telling her how much they loved her. Born on July 6, 1919 in Worcester, MA, to Melvina E. (Houghton) and Napoleon J. Perry, she attended MA schools, graduating top of her class, going on to place first within state competition for her secretarial skills, and later becoming one of the first women in the state to teach at a business college. Norma loved dancing and special outings with her many siblings, and was a loving daughter who cherished and cared for her mother throughout her years. On January 1, 1942, she became the wife of James P. Funk, at which time she moved to Winsted, CT. When her husband left to serve overseas in the Navy Seabees during WWII, Norma held a full time job to sustain their home, and also volunteered on the 'Rationing Board' to support the home front war effort. From the goodness of her heart, she personally hand delivered 'Western Union Telegrams' to families receiving news of a loved one who was Missing, Wounded, or Killed in Action. When Jim returned home, they worked together as the local 'Ice Man', delivering ice to homes and businesses throughout the area. They also served together as the local Dog Warden and assistant for many years. In the 1950s, they began the Winsted Centerless Company and continued to own, and operate it until Jim's retirement. Norma also worked as the manager for Sears & Roebuck Co. for many years, helping so many and making many friends. Although they returned to New Boston and Otis, MA often for dances and special times with family and friends, anyone that knew the Funks have cherish memories of boating, swimming, barbecuing, water skiing, music, friendship, and fun from get togethers over the years held at their Highland Lake home. They enjoyed clambakes with the Elks, square dancing, time at the IORM (Red Men's Club), and VFW events and activities. They were a fun loving couple, but were also very community and civic minded, serving their town and its people in many ways. They worked strenuously after the 1955 flood with the Winsted Fire Department to restore their town, local businesses, and damaged homes. Norma was a life member of the VFW Post 296 Ladies Auxiliary, filling many officer positions over the years. She was a member of the Connecticut Blue Star Mothers, serving troops, military, and veterans and also the BSMoA Big Dipper Auxiliary, which provides educational scholarships to military and veteran families. An amazing person who brought joy to everybody, Norma was a much respected member of the Winsted United Methodist Church from the time she first moved to Winsted. Norma has loved and missed dearly since 1993, her husband of 51 years, Jim. She was also predeceased in death by her parents, five sisters, three brothers, and a greatgrandson. Norma is survived by her daughter, Rev. Lin McGee and her daughter's husband Rev. David McGee of Winsted. She is also survived by three sisters, eleven grandchildren and five step-grandchildren, thirty-eight great-grandchildren, ten great-great grandchildren, many nieces and nephews, a multitude of special friends, and her beloved dogs, Melony and Alexis. Norma was looking forward to the birth of another great-grandchild and two more great-great-grandchildren. She very much loved her former caretaker and 'daughter', Krystyna Kijewska. Interment will take place in the Hillside Cemetery, 297 East Canaan Road, East Canaan, CT on Memorial Day weekend, Saturday May 25, 2013 at 11:00 am. We are rest assured that Norma now rests in the arms of Jesus and has been reunited with her loved ones who passed before her. Online condolences can be left at RememberingCt.us and Legacy.com. Memorial donations in Norma's name can be given to the Winsted United Methodist Church.
