Counterfeit
bills surprise
Millerton
businesses
By Michael Garofalo

MILLERTON Several
counterfeit $100 bills were spent
in various Dutchess County
businesses last week.
Oblong Books & Music, Taros
Pizza, The Moviehouse and Irving Farm Coffee Roasters were
targets of the scam in Millerton.
Carissa Unite, manager of
Oblong Jr. bookstore, recalled
the incident clearly, since so few
customers pay with large bills.
She recalled a female, probably in her mid 20s, who claimed
that she was in a big rush, because
her son was waiting in the car
outside.
People rush in here for their
kids all the time, Unite said. It
didnt seem unfathomable.
It struck her as odd, however,
that someone would complete a
purchase totaling less than $10
with a $100 bill. Since she didnt
have a Dri-Mark pen to test the
money, she accepted the bill.
It turns out that even if Unite
had been equipped with the
Dri-Mark pen, it would have
been useless.
Salisbury Bank and Trust received three counterfeit bills in its
nighttime deposit box, but they

Fire, rain and the amazing Vonnegut brothers

By Kateri Kosek

SALISBURY Ginger Strand

author, journalist, and contributing editor at Orion magazine really loves infrastructure,
especially hydro-infrastructure.
She was reading a history of New
York Citys water supply system
when she discovered the little-known incident that became
the seed for her new book, The
Brothers Vonnegut: Science and
Fiction in the House of Magic.
She explained it with a slide-

show at The White Hart inn

on Wednesday, Nov. 18, for
The White Hart Speaker Series
presented by Oblong Books and
Scoville Memorial Library.
In 1950, New York City, in a
drought and low on drinking
water, decided to cloudseed the
Catskills. When a huge storm
devastated the Catskills, New
York City was sued. Headlines
proclaimed,Rainmaking abandoned.
Strand learned that Kurt Vonneguts older brother, Bernard,

was behind the invention of

cloudseeding. She was struck by
the poetic image of this brother
bringing down water and life
from the sky, and this other
brother trapped in a basement
while fire and death were raining
down on him.
Vonnegut was interned in
Dresden during the devastating
bombing attack on the city
during World War II. That experience led to his novel Slaughterhouse Five.
I was interested in that juxta-

position, Strand explained. The

more she looked into it, the more
interesting the story became.
On the same day in 1945 that
Kurt, a POW, was in Dresden
during the bombing raid by the
Allied forces, his brother was in a
bomber flying over Minneapolis,
conducting a study on airplane
de-icing that would help keep
American bombers in the sky.
Strand originally envisioned
an essay about the Vonnegut
brothers intertwining trajectories and the birth of weather
modification, but a friend suggested it be her next book.

She uncovered a sibling

rivalry. Kurt, the class clown
with vague ambitions to write,
flunked out of Cornell. He was
overshadowed by his genius
brother with a PhD in chemistry who, while messing around
with dry ice in General Electrics
research lab, figured out how to
make clouds rain.
Bernard got Kurt a job at
GE writing press releases. But
Kurt found the inspiration for
a new kind of story: scientists
grappling with problems caused
by their inventions. His formula,
said Strand, was to take things

A choir of volunteer singers from area churches and religious groups sang at an interfaith
service of Thanksgiving on Nov. 22 at the Lakeville United Methodist Church.

Hallelujah for Thanksgiving

LAKEVILLE Members of
several denominations and faiths
came to the Lakeville United
Methodist Church on Sunday
afternoon, Nov. 22, for the annual
interfaith Thanksgiving Service.
Rev. Margaret Laemmel welcomed everyone after starting the
ceremony singing Hallelujah
and playing a drum.
Rev. Eileen Epperson read
an excerpt from a 1621 letter by
Edward Winslow describing the
first Thanksgiving a three-day
affair.
First Selectman Curtis Rand

read excerpts from President

Abraham Lincolns Thanksgiving proclamation (1863).
Barbara Roth, Jo Loi, the Rev.
Diane Monti-Catania and the
Rev. Heidi Truax also read, and
the Rev. Davis Sellery offered a
Thanksgiving message.
(The Rev. Joseph Kurnath,
from St. Mary Catholic Church,
missed the service for personal
reasons.)
Christine Gevert led a choir,
with members from St. Mary,
LUMC, Salisbury Congregational, St. Johns Episcopal, Trinity

Lime Rock, St. Josephs in North

Canaan and Immaculate Conception in Norfolk.
The offering benefited the
Corner Pantry and the Northwest Corner Food Bank.

LAKEVILLE The new school board met for the first time
Monday, Nov. 16, at Salisbury Central School and re-elected Claude
Rolo as chairman.
New members Joanne Hayhurst and Natalia Smirnova attended.
The other new face, David Valcin, was delayed.
Principal Lisa Carter reported that she and Rolo met with Board
of Finance Chairman Bill Willis, First Selectman Curtis Rand and
town Comptroller Joe Cleaveland earlier that day to discuss how
to go forward with renovations for the upper building on campus.
There will be plans ready at the end of the month for the school
boards Building and Grounds Committee to examine. Carter said
the renovations will likely begin in the summer of 2017.
Carter said that the lower building generator project is underway, with Green Acres Landscaping building the concrete pad and
retaining wall for $6,525 (which will come from the schools capital
improvement line in the budget).
Board Clerk Sue Bucceri reported that the schools capital reserve
fund has a balance of $336,671.20.

he saw at GE, and amp up their

effects to amp up the ethical
dilemma.
Everyone wanted a piece of
GEs weather control. Combing
through the GE archives, Strand
found requests from ski resorts,
filmmakers and the government
of Chile wanting to fix the problem of its deserts.
The military even tried to
steer a hurricane into Cuba.
The hurricane, which had been
going out to sea, did a dogleg and
slammed into Georgia, creating
a scandal.
That was a turning point for
Bernie, Strand said. He worried
about his well-intentioned discovery, especially as he read the
stories his brother was writing.
They were more alike than
they thought, committed to the
same thing.
Strand said the Vonnegut
family was extremely helpful
and generous to her as she researched. It became obvious to
me that its hard to share your

Christmas carols, holiday trees at Noble festival

By Lizett Pajuelo

SALISBURY Noble Horizons opened its 19th annual

holiday season Festival of Trees
on Friday, Nov. 21. This years
theme is A Dickens Christmas.
The dimly lit community
room at Noble, with its tables
full of decorated trees, exudes
that warm feeling that Christmas
season brings to peoples hearts.
The display certainly lit up the
faces of Noble Horizons residents who got to take a first look
at the Victorian-themed display.
Joanne Moore, director of
recreation and volunteers at
Noble Horizons, said her favorite
part of putting the event together
each year is working closely with
the volunteers and seeing
how happy the results make the
residents.
The room displayed miniature artificial Christmas trees
and other decorations made
and adorned by local artists,
businesses, community members and residents of Noble
Horizon.
Nancy Watson, a five-year Noble resident, proudly displayed a
tree she had helped put together,
providing detailed information
about how it was assembled. The
tree had pine cones with gold
glitter, nests with birds, red bows
and red robins, and the classic
ball ornaments.
The room was decorated to
bring to life scenes from the Dickens novel, A Christmas Carol.
In the center of the room is a
toy cooked goose surrounded
by several figures, including a
dour-looking doll that depicts
the iconic character, Ebenezer
Scrooge. The dolls face might
still appear grumpy but this
tableau depicts the happy final
chapter of the novel, in which
Scrooge carves the holiday bird
for the Cratchit family.
During their mid-afternoon
tour on Friday, the Noble residents got a special surprise:
Mrs. Claus and an elf stopped

A Charles Dickens theme brought scenes from A Christmas

Carol to life.

in to read aloud and to lead the
singing of holiday carols. The
visitors didnt seem to mind
that her famous husband hadnt
accompanied Mrs. Claus. They
enjoyed the reading and even
whispered verses aloud as Mrs.
Claus read the poem, A Visit
from St. Nicholas (known by
its famous first lines about a visit
from Santa on the night before
Christmas).
The Festival of Trees will
remain at Noble Horizons until
Dec. 5. Admission is free. The display is in the community room,
and will be open every day from
noon to 4 p.m. On Thursdays
and Fridays it will remain open
until 6 p.m.
The festival will end with a
gala party on Dec. 5, from 5 to
7 p.m.
Visitors to the festival can bid
on the trees, wreaths and centerpieces in a silent auction. The

winning bids will be announced

at the gala.
Tickets will be sold for a game
of chance with toys for children
as the prizes.
New this year at the gala will
be a live auction featuring four
special items: a folk-art print of
Salisbury by Regi Klein; a Victorian Christmas tree decorated

with ornaments and candle lights

and wrapped with ribbon; four
figurines of Victorian carolers;
and life-size cutouts of Dickens
Cratchit family.
Tickets for the gala are $35 per
person; contact Joanne Moore
at 860-435-9851. Reservations
are recommended; walk-ins are
welcome.

More than just Magic (Salt) this winter

SHARON This winter, town roads will no longer be cleared of
ice and snow exclusively with Magic Salt, a product that first came
into use in local towns about 10 years ago.
At the Nov. 2 special meeting of the Board of Selectmen,
new town crew chief Bob Carberry and the board discussed the
coming winter. It was decided that instead of just using Magic
Salt (which works best on paved roads), the crew will also use

rock salt, which seems to do better on gravel roads (Sharon

has about 30 miles of unpaved and gravel roads; the Magic
Salt apparently sucks the moisture out of the roads, said First
Selectman Brent Colley).
Town residents have also said the Magic Salt seems to corrode
and damage their cars more quickly than other types of road salt.

Kenny artworks
at Town Hall
SHARON Artist Theresa
Kenny will display her nature-inspired paintings at Town Hall,
with an opening on Saturday,
Nov. 28, from 5 to 7 p.m.
The show,Pastel Mindsets by
Theresa Kenny, is free and open
to the public with 10 percent of
all sale proceeds going to the
Sharon Day Care Center.
The exhibit will remain open
through the month of December.
Kenny, a resident of Sharon,
works in many mediums, but
specializes in watercolor, oil
and pastel. Her paintings at the
Town Hall Gallery are exclusively
pastels, and are grounded in
nature: moving depictions of
landscapes, animals and birds.
The paintings range in size,
with the largest measuring about
2 feet by 3 feet. They range in
price from $250 to $650. Kennys
work can also be viewed and
purchased online through her
profile on www.etsy.com.
Kenny points to both her
mother and to her former art
teacher, Pieter Lefferts, as sources
of inspiration. Pieter really
opened up my world as far as
pastel goes, she said.
She also views her artwork
as a connection to the world
around her.
Its a way of making other
people feel happy or giving them
a memory of something, Kenny
explained.
Beyond her paintings for sale
online and in the show, Kenny
accepts commissions for more
specific requests. She recently
completed a water garden pastel
for a customer in Monterey, Calif., and she is currently fulfilling
a four-piece commission for a
buyer in Kansas.
As the seasons change in New
England, Kennys landscape
paintings capture the beauty of
nature around us. Hers is a show
worth seeing.

Connecticut Trust for Historic

Preservation for needed repairs.
A car drove into the monument last summer and, according to a damage report from the
conservation company in New
York that examined it, displaced
and damaged the stone bench
below the cannon.
Monument Conservation
Collaborative of Norfolk will
do the work, once the approvals
have been made.
The monument was designed
by sculptor Emily O. Wheeler
and dedicated in August 1885. It
honors men from Sharon who
died fighting in the Civil War.
Former First Selectman Bob
Loucks said that, originally, the
monument was on the actual
Green. It was later moved to
the grassy triangle in front of
the brick house now owned by
Barclay Collins.
The description of the monument in the conservation company report says that it consists
of a cannon mounted on a
pedestal with exedra on either
side of the pedestal. There is a
metal strap holding the granite
monument, which is comprised
of gray granite and is approximately 7 feet tall.

SHARON Sex, guns and

Jesus.
Thats the answer. Heres the
question: If I had to distill the
essence of America for a French
audience in a single phrase, what
would that phrase be?
Both question and answer
are the musings of artist Richard
Scott contemplating his upcoming show at Galerie LOeil du
Prince in Paris next spring. They
prompt me to wonder how I can
distill the essence of Richard
Scott for this article. Not in a
phrase. Thats beyond possible
for this complex, internationally
acclaimed, figurative painter
whose lush, observant, atmospheric oils and drawings are on
view at the Hotchkiss Library of
Sharon through Jan. 4.
One of the first things Richard
tells me as I sit in his Millerton
studio is that on his last day as
a high school senior, he witnessed a classroom shooting.
He heard a pop and turned to
the sound. The shooter, gun now
pointed at Scotts chest, looked
directly in his eyes then shot
someone else. That image remained burned in his memory
through college, where he
earned a BFA in painting at the
University of Georgia; through
grad school and an MFA from
the New York Academy of Art.
When the shootings at Sandy
Hook happened, he tried to
discuss it with fellow artists but
found none for whom it had
similar relevance.
Is it ultimately my responsibility? he remembers asking

In Industrial Sharon, readers learn about the variety of
industries in Sharon from its

1739 settlement into the early

20th century. The book includes
an analysis of the roles that iron,
wood, cotton, wool and water
played in the development of
the town. The book also visits
Lime Rock, Amesville, Wassaic,
Cornwall, North Canaan, Kent
and other locations to explore
these towns association with
the iron and charcoal industries.
The book profiles many wellknown industrialists, who lived
in Sharon but performed their
activities in transportation and

himself. Perhaps my painting

should explore how the dynamics
of American culture created this
situation.
Questions! Scotts work
abounds with them. Questions
asked but not answered. What
is that intense woman staring
at just over my shoulder? Who
threw that chair caught in violent
flight in a seemingly deserted
room? A girl is walking toward
me on a lonely beach, her hair
and scarf blown by wind I can
almost feel. She wants to tell me
something. What? Why is the
woman in the bathtub clothed in
a diaphanous wrap? Shes looking at something smoky, wispy
and rising. Is it steam from the
hot bath water or a beckoning
spirit? Is she trying to kill herself
or just washing her hair?
Scotts work is indebted to
Odd Nerdrum, with whom he
lived and studied in Paris. It also
resonates with the compositions
of Andrew Wyeth, the alienation
of Edward Hopper, the mastery
of light by Vermeer.
But wait what about sex,
guns, Jesus the school shooting questions about America I
used (I admit it) to entice you to
read further. Yes. Youll see some
of that in the show. Particularly
in the Revolutionary War paintings of women with muskets
dressed in period costumes
which contrast the past to the
present. Not a hypothesis, says
Scott. Another question.

Mild temps allow town to pour concrete

CORNWALL The weather remained relatively
warm last week, making it possible to pour cement in
60-foot sections for the new sidewalk in the center of
West Cornwall. The new walkway will offer 240 feet
of safe passage along Route 128.
A more complicated section in front of The Wandering Moose Cafe required that a barrier of composite
boards and flashing be installed between the front of
the wood-sided restaurant and the cement, along with
a pipe to move water from a drain in the northeast
corner of the building.
The cafe remains open, with access through the
patio, and owner Russ Sawicki (who has a good sense
of humor) put up a sign directing his customers past
what he joked was a moat being installed.
Meanwhile, word has come from the state that the
$70,000 grant the Board of Selectmen were rushing
to use before the end of the year deadline may be
extended. About $30,000 will be left over. The catch is
that it has to be spent on sidewalk construction along
a state highway. The board ruled out other options
there and in Cornwall Bridge, but will take another
look.

New Historical Society leadership

CORNWALL Jamie E.O. Cantoni has been hired as the
executive director/curator for the Cornwall Historical Society, a
part-time position.
The Cornwall native has a masters degree in library science from
Simmons College and a degree in history from Western Connecticut
State University. She currently works as an archivist at Western
Connecticut, a job that she will continue part-time. She recently
left her position as archivist at the Waterbury Republican-American
newspaper.
Prior to that she held positions at the Maine Historical Society
and the Massachusetts Historical Society.
Jamies background is perfect for us, said Board President
Karen Doeblin. She has several years as an archivist, was trained in
both conservation and digitalization of collections, and has exhibit,
development and event experience. Her enthusiasm and desire to
engage the public really sealed the deal.
Karen Bartomioli

This winter, make

sure the warm air
stays inside,
where it belongs.

CORNWALL The town has

been branded which means,
these days, that it has a logo and
a marketing strategy.
Building off of the Explore
Cornwall weekend in October,
the Economic Development
Commission (EDC) is seeking
to keep up the momentum by
continuing to promote the town
to new families and businesses.
The logo will become part of various campaigns, with explore
changed to whatever expression
fits the occasion.
EDC Chair Janet Carlson-Sanders, who runs a marketing firm here, was at the
Nov. 3 meeting of the Board of
Selectmen to talk about that.
She also discussed with the
board the news that septic and
water issues that have left the
center of West Cornwall in
limbo may be on a fast track to
a solution.
An initial roadblock of finding
funding for an expensive study
is suddenly gone with the involvement of regional planning
consultants Goman and York.
The firm is providing services
to towns with a grant secured by
the Northwest Hills Council of
Governments (NHCOG).
At issue is a densely populated
village where septic and well
fields already overlap on many
properties. It severely restricts
any expanded uses and is especially a problem for commercial
uses. Among the potential approaches are a communal septic
system or a small treatment
facility. Supplying water is also
a possibility, but will only make
a dent in the problem.
The Torrington Area Health
District has been working on
mapping that is expected to be
done by Dec. 1.
With that in hand, consultant
Mike Gorman is confident there

is a solution.
He has people on his team
that do this, Carlson-Sanders
said. He has a template and has
done this in other towns.
She said the firm has designed
sewage treatment solutions for
college campuses, hospitals and
subdivisions.
A first step in breathing life
back into the village is a push to
finally get a septic easement for
the Hughes Memorial Library.
Originally a two-room schoolhouse, it remains a beautiful old
building needing only restrooms
to make it more usable. It does
not have any land for a septic
system.
But there is a suitable lot
right next to it on Lower River
Road. The selectmen have spent
years seeking a septic easement
from CL&P (which is now called
Eversource).
First Selectman Gordon
Ridgway said the town is going
back into negotiations with the
power company. That property
is also the site of a project by
the Housatonic Valley Association (HVA) to improve parking

and access to the Housatonic

River, and to supply public
restrooms.
Carlson-Sanders said the library board is now working with
pro bono lawyers to establish a
nonprofit status. The plan is to
provide free workspace there
with wifi. The idea is that people who work independently or
telecommute will have a space to
work without the distractions of
home, or where they can meet
with clients. Such facilities often
have shared copiers and other
office equipment.
Carlson-Sanders spoke about
how it can also create collaborations between people.
The EDC envisions events on
that open property next to the
library. The town has already
been approached to provide
maintenance there. It was suggested that HVA be asked about
moving the planned composting
toilets from the far side of the
parking lot to nearer the library.
That could solve the issue for the
library and make events more
accessible to tourists who come
to see the nearby Covered Bridge.

Tree lighting will be on Nov. 27

CORNWALL The lighting of the holiday tree on the Cornwall
Bridge Green will take place on Friday, Nov. 27, at 5 p.m.
The tree is near the National Iron Bank.
The celebration will be similar to last years, when the unique,
solar-powered tree was bedecked with many more and much brighter
lights than in the previous year, to the delight of all.
Volunteer elves were reportedly scurrying around the tree last
week to decorate it. This years festivities will be a final salute to
Cornwalls 275th anniversary, with food and music planned.

Bakers share secrets for edible holiday houses

By Lizett Pajuelo

KENT With stores decking

their halls with Christmas decorations already, it is hard not to
notice that the holiday season is
approaching.
One of the most fun and
festive ways to start celebrating
is by making gingerbread houses
an activity suited for people
of all ages.
The fourth annual Kent Gingerbread Festival will be kicking
off on Nov. 27, and Stacy Grimsley owner and pastry chef of
SoDelicious HomeMade Bakery
offered some tips for working
with and decorating gingerbread.
This is the first year SoDelicious
Bakery is part of the Gingerbread
Festival, which is sponsored by
the Chamber of Commerce.
Gingerbread houses will be on
display in shop windows beginning Nov. 27, for those who dont
want to try and bake their own.
For those who do, Grimsley
advised that the key to building
a strong gingerbread house is
to work with a sturdy dough. It
should also be rolled out to about
a quarter of an inch thick.
There are many great recipes

online, including the one at

www.kentctgingerbreadfest.com
(there are additional gingerbread
baking tips there).
To get the finished cookie
sheets as hard as possible, she
said, bake the dough until most
of the moisture is out; then let it
sit for a day before using it.
You want it to be stale, she
said.
For building and decorating
the house, she recommended
using a thick royal icing (recipes
can be found on the Internet,
she said).
This year, 30 bakers have
volunteered to make and decorate edible architecture for the
Gingerbread Festival, which is
reputed to be the largest in the
state. The houses will be on display at businesses in the center
of town through Dec. 24.
There will be a map to guide
visitors along the Gingerbread
Walk. There will be a riddle to
solve. And there will be voting
on the most ingenious and
scrumptious-looking creations.
Along with the Chamber of
Commerce and SoDelicious,
festival sponsors include Davis
IGA and Kent Village Barns.

Tips from a decorator

Decorating any baked good
is all about preference and
imagination.
Although I am an amateur,
one of my favorite hobbies is
decorating cakes and other
baked goods. As my taste is
simple, but elegant, I prefer
working with fondant.
However, when I think of
gingerbread houses, royal icing
is always a must no matter
what other decorating materials you may use since it acts
as an adhesive and also creates
a great icicle effect on roofs.
The recipe I like to use for
royal icing is simple. All you
need is one egg, 250 grams of
powdered sugar to thicken
the icing you can add more
sugar and freshly squeezed
lime juice. This is a recipe that
my mom and grandma have
always used. The lime juice
gives the royal icing a delicious
tangy kick that makes a nice
contrast to the sweetness of
the sugar. It also loosens up the
icing so it doesnt get too thick.
Since I like to go on the
fancier side, I tend to like texture. Two things that I like to
add for texture are Christmas

trees and roof tiles.

The trees can be done by
creating a cone shape with
green fondant of any thickness, and using scissors to cut
small triangles (they look like
branches and foliage). Another
option is to use an ice cream
cone as your base and (using
a Wilton 234 tip) pipe green
royal icing onto the cone. If
you want to try this, make sure
your icing is really thick.
Once the trees are done,
you can add candy and royal
icing ornaments that look like
decorations.
For the roof tiles on your
house, you can cut out pieces of fondant or you can
make them from gingerbread
dough. But its easier and a
little more fun to use pieces
of Cinnamon Toast Crunch
cereal. This significantly cuts
down the effort required to cut
perfect squares. Make sure to
glue them on with plenty of
snowy royal icing!

Work on the roof of Bulls Bridge is expected to take two weeks.

Bulls Bridge gets roof repairs

KENT Roof repairs will
be made to historic Bulls Bridge
from the end of November until
mid-December. The road that
runs through it, Bulls Bridge
Road, will be closed on weekdays beginning Nov. 30 but will
remain open on weekends.
The work is expected to take
about two weeks, but is weather
dependent, according to First
Selectman Bruce Adams.
New shingles will be installed
on the roof (an environmentally
sensitive product from a company called Enviroshakes will be
used) and some painting will be
done on the bridges undercarriage and steel supports.
The town was granted
$100,000 by the state for the
roof work about two years ago.

Food helps families at Thanksgiving

KENT The annual holiday
food drive for the Kent Food
Bank by Kent Boy Scouts was
held Saturday, Nov. 14, outside
the Davis IGA.
Social Worker Leah Pullaro
said it was so successful she
could barely fit herself into her
car, there was so much food.

Donors gave a wide variety of

nonperishables but also gave
potatoes, carrots and onions to
help 31 local families prepare
their Thanksgiving meal.
Scout Aiden Cherniske organized the drive, and in the process

Holiday tree lighting will be Dec. 5

KENT It takes a village
to light a tree sometimes. Such
was the case with the holiday
evergreen on the lawn outside
Town Hall.
The annual tree lighting ceremony will be held on Saturday,
Dec. 5, at around dusk. John
Lindsay, who works on the town
crew and helps prepare the festive
tree, expressed an early holiday
wish to First Selectman Bruce
Adams. It sure would be nice, he
said, not to have to drag a 100foot long power cord out to the
tree this year (or any year).
Adams took advantage of his
power as first selectman to grant
wishes and set to work to make
that holiday dream possible. It
wasnt hard, as it turned out, even
though the first cost estimate he
got was in the $2,000 range.
We couldnt spend that, Adams said. Then electrician John
Gleason volunteered to donate

the electrical work needed to

bring power to the tree.
You just need to dig a trench
so I can lay conduit, he told
Adams.
Rob Giampietro, superintendent of the Bulls Bridge Golf
Course, said not only would he
loan the town the equipment,
hed come out and do the work
himself as well.
As he was cutting the trench,
the electricians were following
him and laying in the conduit
for the wires, Adams said.
Now the tree has its own
dedicated outlet with a weather-resistant GFI outlet.
Its a neat little story about
how things should work in a
small town, in my opinion,
Adams said. I didnt have to ask
anyone for anything. Everyone
volunteered, and we saved the
town $2,000.

State penalizes town for

cost savings at schools

New gym, pool and playground planned

By Karen Bartomioli

NORTH CANAAN Planning has begun on a new school

gym and new town swimming
pool. The main goals are to make
facilities that are safer and more
usable for both the school and
community than the ones in
use now.
The Board of Education voted
unanimously at its meeting two
weeks ago to endorse the appointment of a standing building
committee, at the request of the
Board of Selectman, who will
start working on that at their
Dec. 7 meeting.
First Selectman Douglas
Humes said they have been laying
the groundwork for plans that
will soon become the focus of the
committee at public meetings.
He expects it to be a lengthy process with plenty of opportunity
for public input.
The basics are that the 1975
pool and building are just too run
down and dont meet all codes,
particularly for handicapped
access.
The gym, which has a stage
and doubles as an auditorium
at North Canaan Elementary
School, was built in 1954, with
only minor modifications since.
The walls are dangerously close
to the playing area and there is
little room for spectators.
It was fine back then,
Humes said, but we didnt have
all the school and community
programs that are there now.
Theyre playing basketball and
volleyball after school, in the
evenings and on weekends. Its
really a community gym.
This was the idea about
10 years ago, when a similar

Holiday party
at the library
NORTH CANAAN The
annual holiday party at the
Douglas Library will be held Saturday, Dec. 5, from 5 to 7 p.m. at
the library, with hors doeuvres,
desserts, wine and wine punch.
Tickets are $15 per person or $25
per couple.
The Friends of the Douglas
Library is hosting a Dec. 19
holiday drawing for a $100 Stop
& Shop gift card. Stop by the
library during regular hours to
buy tickets.
The Friends are also offering
several gift baskets for silent

through Dec. 19.

project was proposed. There

were variations prepared by an
architectural firm, including a
covered pool and day care center
(now planned for across from
the school), that amounted to
as much as $40 million. By the
time it was all hashed out and
a more modest plan was under
serious consideration, school enrollment had begun to drop. The
project was shelved in light of
the uncertainty of future needs.
This project will be on a much
smaller scale, while addressing
the same basic needs. Humes said
it includes an analysis of future
town and school needs, including
enrollment that is expected to
start to go back up in a few years.
A new gym wing would be
built off the middle school wing
at the west end of the school.
There will be a community room
and locker rooms with showers,
which will enhance emergency
sheltering capabilities (and possibly qualify it for a Homeland
Security grant). The wing would
have its own exterior access.
The current gym would be
turned into a real auditorium
with a low-key approach of
installing permanent seating.
There are no plans at this point to
lower the stage, as was previously
proposed.
A new pool facility would be
built next to the current one,
along with parking on the same
side of the street. A goal is to tie
it in better with the adjoining
school property.
Town officials are exploring
funding sources for the project.
No cost estimates are available
yet.
Planned separately are uses
for the 35-acre wooded property
behind the school, purchased
two years ago by the town. A
survey was done to determine
buildable areas. Much will stay

undeveloped, Humes said, but

a soccer field is planned for the
area just west of Sam Eddy Field.
An access road will be built, up
past the ball field backstop.
Directly behind the school,
clearing will be done for a new
playground. This is the same
playground the school PTO has
been working on for several
years. Costs were estimated then
at around $450,000 for an extensive playscape incorporating the
latest in safety, accessibility and
durability (including a pouredin-place rubber surface).
PTO volunteers have done
some work to maintain the
current playgrounds, but those
are also past their prime. The
town is currently facing a federal complaint filed for lack of
handicapped accessibility on
town and school playgrounds,
which were installed prior to
those code requirements.
Anyone interested in seeking
an appointment to the building
committee may contact the
selectmens office at 860-8247313.

NORTH CANAAN In the

midst of a struggle to keep pace
with the cost of education, the
town finds itself battling a potential $45,840 penalty, simply
because it was able to spend less
in an isolated year.
North Canaan was found by
the state Department of Education to be in violation of the
Minimum Budget Requirement
(MBR). The penalty would be
deducted from the towns Education Cost Sharing (ECS) grant.
Town officials and Region One
School District Business Manager
Sam Herrick put their heads
together at a Nov. 18 meeting of
the Board of Finance to come up
with what appears to be a simple
solution to keep its essential $2.2
million ECS funding intact.
Herrick has spent hours on
the phone with state education
officials, trying to sort this out.
He offered a concise look at a
complicated issue.
After many years of very
large increases to its high school
and shared services assessment,
North Canaan got a break for the
current fiscal year. It sent 15 fewer
students to Housatonic Valley
Regional, and its percentage of
expenses there (which are shared
with five other towns) resulted in
a $134,000 decrease.
At North Canaan Elementary
School, there were 16 fewer students than in the previous year,
but it was other savings, such as
increased energy efficiency, that
resulted in a $22,920 savings.
However, Public Act 15-99
allows school districts to reduce
new fiscal year budgets by no
more than one half of one percent
of current budgets.
The law was written to discourage towns from using ECS
money for things other than
education.
Instead, the complicated 23step formula used to determine
the MBR (which is far less complicated than the ECS formula)
has proven to be a hindrance to
towns trying to maintain schools
with less.
The formulas factor in each
towns unique socioeconomic
conditions, but rarely the unique
ways they find to economize.
Schools have been responding

to the economy and other factors,

such as the decreased enrollment
in Region One, by reducing
staff and saving in other areas,
while maintaining documented
standards.
According to a report published by the Connecticut Conference of Municipalities, no
Connecticut town has been
diverting those much-needed
education grants.
The MBR law has a history that
dates back through a decade of
amendments aimed at making it
workable and more flexible.
It all comes back to the basic
problem here of the states failure
to understand Region One,Herrick
said. Each town here has its own
school district and budget. Each
pays a share of the regional budget.
The problem is the state
lumped them both together in
determining the MBR.They should
have looked at one or the other,
and then it would not have been an
issue, he said. Then they took the
lesser of the two amounts and doubled it to determine the penalty.
The option to its ECS grant
being docked is for the town to
agree to spend at least $22,920
more not in the next school
budget, but the one after.
We make predictions, but its
not easy, and it does not appear
enrollment is going to increase
anytime soon, and we dont know
how many students wont go to
another high school, Herrick
said, addressing the primary
cause of budget increases. I am
concerned that we may be in a
situation two years from now
where the high school enrollment

is even lower.
Herricks appeal, in which he
asked the state to forego the penalty because NCES meets performance standards and its per-pupil
spending is well above the state
average, was unsuccessful.
Finance members unanimously approved his recommendation, gleaned from the last line
of a letter from the Department
of Education in which the 201718 school year appropriation
solution was cited.
It was decided to do it now
and avoid any potential pitfalls
later on. That puts it on the books
as separate from the budget,
committed to being spent on education, and will satisfy the states
demands. But it doesnt mean it
has to be spent, Herrick said. He
assured the finance board the
state never looks at what towns
actually spend.
Because it is more than
$20,000, it has to be sent to a
town meeting vote. That meeting
is scheduled for Tuesday, Dec. 8,
at 7:30 p.m. at Town Hall.
School budget surpluses are
common here, and excess funds
are required to be deposited in
the towns general fund, unless
an exception is granted by the
finance board.
Herrick said the situation is
not likely to come up again because it is rare both local budgets
and regional assessments would
drop significantly in the same
year. He added that state Rep.
Roberta Willis (D-64) is working on new language for the bill
that addresses regional school
districts.

Connect people to the land

By Patrick L. Sullivan

Huffaker said, Its hard to

talk about ethics in the light of
events like Paris (referring to
the terrorist attack on Paris the
previous day).
Were struggling mightily
with how we treat each other.
Huffaker said an environmental ethics needs to be rooted in
place with the people who live
there.
Of A Sand County Almanac
(published in 1949), Huffaker
said, Its not about ecology, its
about values.
Leopold deliberately presented his environmental ethics as
a product of social evolution.
The speakers then engaged
the audience, beginning with
asking how to rethink the existing
economic world view to include
the concerns of conservation.
To be honest, this is where
I see the least amount of work
being done, said Likens.
The audience came up with
names of local organizations
that contribute to the goal of
getting people to think about
the environment GMF, the
Trustees of Reservations in Massachusetts, the Yale University
environmental ethics program,
the Schumacher Center for a New
Economics in Great Barrington,
among others.
Any land ethic will have to
respond to emerging scientific
insights and shifting scientific
foundations, Huffaker said.
Likens spoke about the Hubbard Brook Project, which was
started in 1963 and was where
the acid rain phenomenon was
discovered.
Our test tube was the whole
watershed.
The scientists involved were

NORFOLK Despite progress on environmental issues

such as acid rain, much remains
to be done to implement the
vision of author and scientist
Aldo Leopold, according to Gene
Likens and Buddy Huffaker.
The two men spoke at the
Norfolk Library on Saturday,
Nov. 14, as part of Great Mountain Forests (GMF) ongoing
lecture series on Leopolds idea
of developing environmental
ethics.
Likens is the founder of
what is now the Cary Institute
in Millbrook; co-founder of the
Hubbard Brook Experimental
Forest in New Hampshire; a
professor at the University of
Connecticut; and an expert on
acid rain.
Huffaker is the executive
director of the Aldo Leopold
Foundation in Barabook, Wisc.
The talk, which involved a lot
of back and forth with the audience, began with a quote from
Leopold: I have no illusions
about the speed and accuracy
with which an ecological conscience can become functional.
Likens said that when Leopold wrote about the land, he
included the entire ecosystem.
He didnt get tied up in scientific jargon, he said of the author
of the Sand County Almanac.
Likens said Leopold set the
stage on how to treat and respect
the land.

able to counteract the leaching

of calcium and magnesium
from soil with a substance called
wollastonite, found in the Adirondacks.
And the work helped lead to
new environmental regulations
in the 1970s, to reduce and/or
eliminate industrial pollution.
The important point is you
have to think on a large scale. You
cant do it piecemeal.
Huffaker said a land ethic
must include the entire landscape, and recognize the connections within it.
And the land ethic will need
to embrace and be embraced by
new constituencies.
He singled out John Moran,
age 11, who is the son of David
Moran, an agriculture education
teacher at Housatonic Valley
Regional High School (father
and son were in the audience).
You bring the average age
down quite a bit, he said to
the boy.
The elder Moran cited the
high schools Envirothon team
as an example of getting young
people involved in environmental studies.
One woman who identified
herself as a teacher said when,
on a Monday morning, she asks
her students how they spent
the weekend, they say they were
inside.
She said this would not change
until we make a concerted effort
to get the kids the hell off their
iPads and outside.
Huffaker wrapped it up by
quoting Leopold again:
The two things that interest
me are the relationship between
people and the land, and the
relationships between people.

I think back a long time

back. I recall the days with
Dale. Mostly I think of working.
Sometimes wed be chasing
cows and pigs, fixing fences to
keep em in. Doing field work,
wearing shorts no shirt or
shoes. Planting and picking:
tomatoes, squash, cucumbers
or whatever. Long hair, tanned
dark brown, Dale darker than
any of us. Picking corn Dale
could pick corn fast. We picked
a lot of corn. Doing wheelies
with the tractor; it was kind of
dangerous, crazy fun and not
too good for the tractor.
Swimming in the river at
Madsens bridge, swinging on
that rope; doing an around
the world and flying into the
current. Dale would climb the
tree, dive off a branch, do a flip
off the rope. Sometimes wed be
swimming with the cows.
Fishing for trout at the footbridge behind Ninos; catching
a lot of suckers.
Some late-night corn roasts
on a fire in Madsens gravel pit:
a tub of margarine and a shaker
of salt on the hood of the car.
Finding parts, putting bikes
together, making choppers;
4-H, showing cows; Madsens
cows won blue ribbons. Making
brownies with ingredients wed
grown. Riding the bus to Oliver
Wolcott raising hell and
getting kicked off, hitchhiking
to Torrington for a few days.
That night we were driving
fast up Clayton road, we took
down the telephone pole at
Buckbee Corner. My head
went through the windshield,
Dale ended up under the car,
scraped up but alive. Passed the
field sobriety test, laughed and
went home.
Those wilder days, risking
life and limb to have some fun.
Dale was all in a sure and
steady friend. Wed talk about
the trouble we got in, the risk
of dying; wed laugh, knowing

wed probably only last a couple

more days or years. That crazy
life is fun when youre in the
middle of it. Not so much so
when youre paying the price
or thinking about the risk
with a clear mind. We didnt
let our minds clear too much;
we stayed in the middle where
life was moving, alive and fun.
I remember Dale alive, really
alive.
Those days were a wild ride.
Some of you know. I got off in
83, run over by a semi, coma,
Chicago sobered up.
Dale continued on in Canaan. I missed the next 30 years.
Saw Dale on and off in my visits
to Canaan. He seemed the same;
sometimes hard to find, maybe
working for Bob or for dad or
for whomever. Wed talk some.
He thought it was cool that I
sobered up. I understood.
I heard about Dales cancer
last fall. It didnt sound so good.
I took a quick trip to Canaan.
We talked, saw some old friends,
ate lunch at State Line. Dale
didnt feel too good, said his
medicine made him sicker.
We drove around a little
more, remembered. When I
dropped him off at his house
we sat in the car for a while.
We talked about dying again,
reminded by our day together
that we hadnt yet. Dale thought
maybe he had a price to pay. I
remembered that part about
Jesus dying to pay the price for
even people like us, so we could
go to the good place when we
die. Dale wasnt so sure. We
grinned about Dale probably
being there before me, greeting
me on my arrival, about seeing
Todd.
Im remembering Dale, 30
years ago and 1,000 miles away.
I imagine I missed a bit. I like
what I remember.
Peace.

BILLS
Continued from Page A1
all passed the pen test. Management was only tipped off when
an experienced teller detected
that the bills were stiffer than
normal and had a sticky texture.
The sticky residue may have
been hairspray, which criminals
can use to counteract the chemical reaction that Dri-Mark pens
rely on to detect counterfeit
money.
Dri-Mark pens work when
their main ingredient, iodine,
interacts with the starch in most
normal currency paper. This
turns the pens yellow ink to a
dark brown. Legitimate bills are
made on paper without starch,
so the chemical reaction never
happens and the ink remains
yellow. Hairspray blocks this
reaction, making counterfeit
paper appear real.
Fortunately, it leaves behind
a sticky residue than can alert
cashiers to the problem.
Newer $100 bills have a distinct 3D blue security stripe,
which is hard for criminals to
replicate; but the bills used in this
scheme imitated the older-style
bills. For other current security
features, go to www.newmoney.

deals with camping. A document
distributed to the commission
members explains that the
camping restrictions are based
on a 1979 action, Lime Rock
Foundation Inc. vs. Zoning
Board of Appeals (ZBA) of the
Town of Salisbury.
By setting forth the most
recent standards in the Vail
action [the 1959 injunction as
subsequently amended] and the
ZBA action in the regulations
themselves, we clarify the exact
standards that are the present
status quo and that have shaped
the conduct and reasonable expectation of affected property
owners for decades.
We also eliminate the possibility that the zoning regulations
could be deemed to be amended
if there were to be an amendment
to a court judgment in the Vail
action.

Music, one was spent at Taros,

one was spent at The Moviehouse and one was spent at
Irving Farm. All purchases were
small in value.
A worker from Irving Farm
recalled that the woman was
probably about 5 feet 2 inches.
None of the local merchants
recalled having seen her before.
At The Moviehouse, it was
the same story as the others:
the bill felt different, it passed
the pen test and then Salisbury
Bank caught it. All bills have since
been shipped off by the bank to
the Secret Service.
Detectives Adam Harris and
Gerard Pfitscher of the Dutchess
County Sheriff s Office have
recovered 10 bills so far, not
including those found in Millerton. The first case occurred
in Pawling on Saturday, Nov.
14, around 3 p.m. There have
also been incidents in LaGrange
and Beekman.
The detectives said that the
bills were Dri-Mark tested and
they passed the test, except for in
a few areas where the hairspray
residue failed to bond with the
paper.
The Sheriff s Office issued a
press release on Wednesday.
Be observant and take notice
of the passers physical qualities,
vehicle description and license
plate number. All of these can
be helpful to law enforcement.
Any citizens who have information, or have been victims, are
asked to call Det. Harris or Det.
Pfitscher at 845-486-3820.

Those restrictions could be

modified, however. We believe
that utilization of the current
permitting and amendment
process, which requires notice
and public hearings, will allow
property owners the opportunity
to make changes, where appropriate, apart from whether those
changes do or do not coincide
with what has [been] approved
in private civil litigation.

been digitized, he said.I needed
to be at the archive.
He traveled to sites in Europe. He corresponded with
descendants of pilots and others. But mostly he read official
documents.
A lot of military materials
are in massive collections in
downtown Washington, he said.
I hefted boxes, hour after
hour. I sifted through reports.
One thing about the military,
they kept everything. I had to
get into the heads of the people
who cataloged the stuff. I had to
see patterns.
For materials in the French
language, Rossano relied on a
good dictionary and a helpful
bilingual graduate student who
was doing her own research at
the next table.
It was a story I felt no one
had developed to its fullest. So
I did new research and put it
together, Rossano said.
His collaborator, Thomas
Wildenberg, also a published
military historian, concentrated
on the technical development of
aircraft and Rossano did the rest.
They talked through the books
organization, wrote their chapters independently then melded
them to have a uniform voice.
The story in a nutshell is,
once the United States enterd
the war, the Navy identified
the importance of taking out
German U-boat bases through

the amended table of uses

Commission that, if it is found
that the Commission lacks any
authority to regulate any aspect
of race track use as set forth
herein, then a track for racing
of motor vehicles shall be found
not to be permitted in the RE
District, and any race track use
in existence at the time of the
adoption of these regulations
shall have such rights as may
exist as a nonconforming use
under these regulations.

air strikes. The trouble was, this

country had neither adequate
aircraft nor trained pilots. Thus
a collaboration with the British
and French.
In this country, Glenn Curtiss
manufactured aircraft, but his
world-class flying boats were
limited to landing and taking off
from water, and they were too
slow in the air to evade strafing
from the ground, too bulky to
outmaneuver German fighters.
When war broke out in 1914,
the United States was not too far
behind, but Europe went full
bore. The U.S. built trainers here,
but ended up buying Handley
Page bombers from England
and Caproni fighters from Italy.
The Navy aviators modeled
themselves after the Europeans.
I got to know these characters and have a great deal of
respect for them, Rossano said.
Its amazing that within 15 years
of the Wright brothers and Kitty
Hawk, aviation had developed
this far.
American pilots, many of
them from Yale or Harvard or
other schools,were hard-flying,
hard-drinking, hard-partying
young men who showed themselves well.

No way.
Work has begun on a complete overhaul, including sandblasting whats left of the old
enamel paint from the galvanized
metal cabinet and redoing it with
more durable automotive paint;
making new neon letters; and
installing a new transformer,
wiring and Plexiglas shields.
It started when the Troop
B commander, Lt. Baldwin,
asked us if we could replace the
Plexiglas, Rovelto said. It was
really yellowed, since work was
last done on the sign in 1997. It
evolved into our desire to help
and do a full restoration. Its a
beautiful old sign and you just
dont see those made anymore.
Its part of Canaans history.
He said the sign was probably installed not long after the
barracks was built in the 1940s.
Ghi Sign is accepting donations toward the $4,000 estimate
for the work. Checks are coming
in, but work is on hold while
Baldwin checks into any potential legalities of getting the work
done that way.
Any extra funds raised will go
toward repairing the sign over the
front door at the barracks. Currently, only POLICE lights up.

Chapin will not

2016 statewide contest.
Later in the same day, state
Rep. Craig Miner (R-66) announced that he will run for
the seat.
Chapin was first elected to
the Senate seat in 2012; before
that, he served as a state representative for 12 years. He lives in
New Milford.
After serving more than 20

The Northern Bombing
Groups mission to wipe out
the submarine bases ultimately
fell short.
Except for being a nuisance,
the historian said,we were never
able to break up the German
U-boats. The idea made sense,
facilities were within striking
distance, the bombs were big
enough to do damage, but the
British and Americans never had
enough aircraft to conduct major
raids. Sporadic raids of four or
six or eight bombers did not have
much effect.
There were disagreements
and turf struggles along the way,
but all in all the Navy deserves
great credit for pulling together
an air force.
Rossano points particularly to
Robert Lovett, a whiz kid who
comes back a generation later to
mobilize the American aviation
industry and get a large number
of aircraft into action for World
War II. He and Hap Arnold were
kind of twins in that.
They brought to the 1940s
what had been started in the
late 1910s.

100 years ago November

1915
CANAAN The closing out
sale of the Canaan Mercantile
Co. has commenced.

Thanks ... and giving

his is the time of year that makes us think about the

things and the people in our lives for which we are
grateful. We all have our problems, but we all have our
blessings as well, and this is the time to consider the balance
between the two. As we spend Thanksgiving with family or
friends, we should be more thankful than ever for the chance
to do that one more year.
In the aftermath of the recent terrorist attacks, those who
are traveling to see family, or who have family traveling to
see them, will be a bit more worried than usual. But in the
United States, since 9/11, all the large cities, but especially
New York and Washington, D.C., have been on high alert
and have been transformed into high security spaces. And
the airports and train and bus stations have done the same.
Still, it is best to be fully aware of ones surroundings, and to
follow the seemingly simple approach the security experts
suggest: If you see something, say something.
This is also the time of year to look outside ourselves and
see the challenges faced by our families, friends, neighbors
and fellow humans. There are ways in which we can lighten
their loads if we give it serious thought. Who knows? In so
doing, we may just benefit ourselves as well.
One way to do that is to contribute to some of the many
nonprofit organizations in the region, whose annual appeals
are now being sent out all over the Tri-state region. Each day
brings a new plea from another worthy nonprofit. As the
different groups try to gather enough funding to make their
way through the next fiscal year, its a good time to think
about what life here would be like without any one of them.
Which organization will suddenly become the most important in ones life? Perhaps youve never needed a visiting
nurse before, but suddenly there is a family health emergency that makes such a personal service critical. How often do
any of us think about the willingness of trained volunteer
firefighters and EMTs to drop everything at a moments
notice and rush to help in an emergency? Not often, until the
rare time in our lives when their service means everything.
When we are at our most vulnerable, most in need of some
fast and effective help, it is these volunteers who step in and
give of themselves, day in and day out, to offer support to
their neighbors.
Then there are the parents who depend on area child care
centers to provide them with reliable and loving care for the
most important people in their lives, their children. Or those
who are struggling with difficult home lives that erupt in
violence, or who suffer from any kind of illness.
We cant forget about those cultural groups that bring joy
and entertainment to brighten our lives, or the scholarship
funds for students who need help finishing their studies. The
list goes on and on.
Now is a good time to thank volunteers at nonprofit
organizations for the work they do to make life better for all
of us. The simple acknowledgment of the sacrifices they have
made in order to provide their services to the region can be
enough to keep them going.
But it also helps to provide financial support, however
much it is possible to give. Choose among those who have
made a difference in your life or the life of someone you
know, and send them whatever you can.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

50 years ago November

1965
Fred Philip Schall, 87, of Lime
Rock. well known commercial
artist, died last Thursday in Sharon Hospital, following a short
illness. His passing is mourned
by his many friends in this area
where he was universally beloved by those who knew him.

No negotiation on Lime Rock Park

Skip Barbers letter to the editor (Lakeville
Journal, Nov. 12) made clear what many people
have long suspected. His attempt to modify the
injunction that regulates noise levels at Lime
Rock is aimed at maximizing the value of the
business he owns and little more. His letter
shows no concern about the impact of Sunday
racing on Trinity Church, on concerts at Music
Mountain, or its effect on neighboring property
values. Mr. Barber states: We wouldnt do anything that hurts the neighborhood. But if he
gets his way, its a victory for him and a major
loss for hundreds of others.
Lets be clear. Lime Rock Park is a vital part of
the community that brings valuable business to

There have been several well-known Hollywood movies about bridges: Bridge of Spies is
the latest, but before that there were the Bridges
of Madison County and A Bridge too Far, but
one of the most famous was The Bridge over the
River Kwai. Yet the world outside the Northwest
Corner is unaware that we have our own River
Kwai, The Bridge Over the River Housy.
Our river epic is produced by the Office of the
State Engineer and is many years in the making. The
original film, River Kwai, starred Alec Guinness
as the fanatical British colonel who insisted on
overbuilding the thing. In our film, that particular
role is played by the State Engineer. Among the
major differences is that in the original the bridge
was actually built. In our case, through apparent
bumbling, or incompetence, or both, there is yet

I never really understood
Christ until I came to this little
white church. I for one can tell
you, its not complex, just open
your heart and eyes and let him
in. But in todays world, we all
need him, so if youre driving by,
stop at the sign, Come and see.

its doors. Come unto me all who

another delay; and rumor has it that the new

opening date is 2045!
What were they thinking? All we and the folks
in Falls Village wanted was a simple and safe little
structure, not the George Washington Bridge. So,
from our point of view, the State Engineering Office
has truly lurched over a bridge too far. So what
about that ferry?
Having poked fun at the State Engineering Office
and attendant bureaucrats involved in this sorry
project, I am sure that, to the residents of Falls
Village, it is not that funny. And for good reasons
enumerated earlier, this delay is irresponsible (and
unacceptable). So we have to say to the Office of
the State Engineer: Get on with it do your job.

The charming little white church at Twin Lakes

In the Northwest Corner
of Connecticut sits a little area
known by some as Twin Lakes.
Nestled away in this lush, green
landscape and still lake waters is
a little white church. Right out of
a Currier and Ives painting, not
many know that its there.
This cute little white church
is small in size but big in faith
and love. If you ever drive by,
youll see a sign. Come and see,
is what it says. Not many know
of the All Saints of America
Orthodox Church. I didnt until
the last few years. Its the most
beautiful little church inside, it

the area, and Im personally proud to live nearby.

I dont know anyone who wants the track to be
shut down. But Lime Rock Park and the community have coexisted for nearly 60 years under rules
that regulate noise levels on weekends. The Lime
Rock Citizens Council wants nothing more than
to maintain the status quo.
Mr. Barber states that he and his attorneys want
to negotiate a compromise. But what is there to
negotiate? God granted us one day of rest every
week. Thats a covenant that goes back well before
the injunction regulating noise at Lime Rock Park.
And its not negotiable.

thank the entire community for
making the 13th Annual Kitchen

independent business owners
generously sponsored this event,
donated delicious food, created
beautiful floral arrangements
for each kitchen and gave raffle
prizes.
We thank our homeowners

their homes to be admired

visitors.
Last but not least, many
thanks to all the volunteers who
made this event possible.
This annual fundraising event
is the largest fundraiser for the

are other individuals and groups
that I dont know about who are
doing deeds to help their neighbors. Many people are not able to
participate in the laborious tasks

are supportive financially.
To everyone, I say thank you

The new flood control dam

presently under construction
on the Whiting River in the
Blackberry River watershed in
Canaan Valley, is scheduled for
completion at the end of next
year. Work on the dam has yielded some historic items, such as
pieces of an old water wheel, its
parts joined by wooden pegs.
The wheel is thought to be a
remnant of an old grist mill,
judged to have been in use some
200 years ago.

The Gay Gangi family has a
new pet, a raccoon. The animal
was found by Ernest MacNeil
while working near Lakeville
Lake last week. The animal appears to be a tame one that had
been released, since it plays with
balls, and eats peanuts and any
food offered. The Connecticut
Fish and Game Department
has granted permission to the
Gangis to keep the animal
through the hunting season.

Cornwalls rustic location, the

people fleeing oppression and
one of them is a well-trained
ISIS fighter. What if we get one
of them wrong? Just one of them
wrong.
Next, we had the more compassionate candidate, Sen. Ted
Cruz. Hed allow some Syrian
refugees in as long as theyre
Christians. Cruz even guaranteed the Christians would all act
Christian.
There is no meaningful risk
of Christians committing acts
of terror, said Gods apparent
candidate.
Really, senator? Even Jesus got
taken when he picked his first
dozen Christians and only 11 of
them turned out well.
It should be noted that Cruz
wasnt alone. For a time, even
the reputedly moderate Jeb Bush
called for only letting Christian
Syrians into the United States
but he later generously allowed
the admission of non-Christian
women, children and orphans,
whose ranks will swell if their
fathers are barred. Chris Christie, the toughest candidate east
of the west, wont even admit
Syrian orphans under 5.
This campaign demagoguery
can be traced, as can most of what
is vicious about this presidential
race, to Donald Trump, who,
with his habitual contempt for
the truth and the voters, lied
that President Obama is trying
to admit 250,000 Syrians. The
actual number so far is 2,200,
with about 10,000 scheduled
to be admitted in the next year
unless theyre not.
For a nation of immigrants,
this marks another of our many
dreadful moments, usually inspired by meaningless fear and
meaningful demagoguery.
It started in the new nation
of 1790, with the Naturalization
Act restricting citizenship to free
white persons. Then there was
the the 19th centurys Chinese
Exclusion Act, which eventually
barred immigration from all
Asian nations a policy that
caused bitter and justified resentment and wasnt repealed
until 1943.
The most hateful anti-foreigner legislation was probably
the Immigration Act of 1924,

IF YOU ASK ME
DICK AHLES
which set up a quota system
by nation for admission to the
country that claimed to welcome
your tired, your poor, but not
your Italians and your Slavs.
The bills quotas strongly
favored masses huddled in
western and northern European
countries. It was signed into law
by President Calvin Coolidge, a
Vermont Yankee who had earlier
shared his views on the superiority of these races in Good
Housekeeping magazine.
Biological laws tell us certain
divergent people will not mix or
blend, wrote the vice president
as he assured his homemaking
readers that the Nordics propagate themselves successfully
while with other races, the
outcome shows deterioration on
both sides.
This kind of thinking flourished during the Depression
and hit bottom when Fortune
magazine published a Gallup Poll
finding that two thirds of Americans opposed the admission of
10,000 Jewish refugee children
from Germany and Austria. We
did admit thousands of British
children.
World War II ended our flirtation with master race theories
and also left between 7 and 10
million people in refugee camps.
Harry Trumans 1948 Displaced
Persons Act brought 415,000 of
them to the United States, including a young man named Sam
Gejdenson, who would become
a Connecticut Congressman.
But the quota system wasnt
abolished until Lyndon Johnson
signed immigration legislation
in 1965 and enlightened immigration policy continued in the
remaining years of the 20th century, probably capped by a 1986
law that gave U.S. citizenship to
nearly 3 million undocumented
immigrants, also known as illegal
aliens. The law was signed by
Ronald Reagan, making him
the godfather of amnesty as well
as the president who said, Mr.
Gorbachev, tear down this wall.
Then, just a generation later,
a new Congress, with old fears,
passed the eminently idiotic Secure Fence Act of 2006 to build
a $1.2 billion, 700 mile wall on
the Mexican border.
Ironically, congressional Republicans so fearful of foreign
terrorism continue to fight any

The importance of pushing past the comfort zone

undamentals, fundamentals, fundamentals! To

have success at the higher
levels of any sport, an athlete
must perfect the fundamentals of
their chosen sport. So how do we
accomplish this? Through practice; through thousands of repetitions; by challenging oneself
and pushing past ones comfort
zone. It should be a youth coachs
number one objective instead of
worrying about wins and losses.
Its painful as a coach to watch
high school players who cant
dribble a basketball with both
hands; or dribble a soccer ball
down the field; or a baseball
player who pitches like a shortstop, or drops his elbow when
he swings; or a hockey player
that skates standing straight up
and cant make or receive a pass.
Youth sports are about teaching

the fundamentals of the sport

and it is a coachs responsibility
to have a total understanding of
what the fundamentals are. It is
also the players responsibility to
listen to the coach and to attempt
to perform the desired technique
correctly.
The best athlete spends thousands of hours on repetition.
Tony Gwynn, one of the greatest
hitting ball players of our time,
was still hitting off of a tee when
he was 38 years old. If you havent watched YouTube videos
of athletes practicing, you are
missing a great opportunity to
better yourself as an athlete. It
takes countless hours of practice
and sacrifice to excel at sports.
And I must say it is practicing the
correct technique that makes the
difference, performing the drill
the way it is supposed to be done.

Infection and Its Control

THE COACHS
VIEW
DEAN DIAMOND
We have heard many coaches
say that practice makes perfect,
but in reality it is repetitions of
perfect practice that makes one
better.
When a player attends a
tryout, the first thing a coach
looks for is how well the athlete
performs the fundamentals. The
coach watches at how well the
athlete skates, runs, dribbles,
throws, shoots, catches, hits,
passes, etc. Then the coach will
want to see: Can the athlete
perform these techniques under
stress through competition?

When coaches lay the groundwork for their sport and teach
the proper fundamentals and
athletes learn how to perform
these skills through repetition,
then and only then will athletes
have a chance of reaching their
potential and be able to play at a
higher level.
If an athlete isnt happy with
what team he or she made or
how much playing time they are
getting, it is time to get back to
working on fundamentals and
practice, practice, practice!

because her office meticulously

maintains the records of births
and deaths in Norfolk, back
through the 19th century. So,
lets leave the 21st century and
ask what the 19th century can tell
us. Well get back to Dr. Shuman
in a future column.
There were 45 deaths in
Norfolk from 1872 to 1874 in
a population of 1,000 to 1,500.
Of the 10 children who died,
almost all were lost to infectious
diseases erysipelas (a strep
infection), dysentery, pneumonia, meningitis, and typhoid
fever in this small sample. In
a few cases, the cause of death
was not recorded (usually these
were among the poor who did
not have a physician until they
died). One young mother died of
a burst uterus and her child died
as well. Older people among the
45 died of pneumonia, peritonitis, measles and tuberculosis. It
is not that Norfolk did not have
physicians; it did, including
the Welch family, one of whom
went on to introduce modern
medicine to the United States as
a founder of The Johns Hopkins
Medical School, but they were
helpless in the face of infection.
I chose the years 1872 to 1874
because the idea that bacteria
caused infection had spread to
the medical profession. Beginning in 1857, Pasteur realized
that a domain of microorganisms
were the causes of fermentation,
putrefaction, and infection. The
first physician to take advantage of Pasteurs idea was the
English surgeon Joseph Lister
(yes, Listerine was named after
him), who decided to sterilize all
of his instruments, the patients
skin, the surgeons hands and
even the air circulating around
the operating table. By 1865 he
achieved a dramatic reduction
in surgical infections and death
among his patients, but these
antisepsis practices did not find
acceptance among surgeons for
several decades. At the beginning, Lister was often mocked.
Listers methods might have
saved the 25-year-old woman
who died of a burst uterus
because it (and ether) made
abdominal operations, including
Caesarian sections, possible by
avoiding infection of the mother.
What of the other 44 people
who died from 1872 to 1874?
Some of those infections might
not have occurred if the germ

theory of disease had been used
in the practice of public health,
as it had surgery. Water and milk,
the sources of many infections,
could have been tested for bacterial contamination. A famous
report from the Public Health
Service in 1909 listed more than
500 disease outbreaks traced to
milk from 1880 to 1907. These
included the case of a farmer
who was a carrier of typhoid
fever and contaminated all of his
milk, starting a serious epidemic.
In 1910, New York Citys
Department of Health ruled that
all milk delivered to the city had
to be pasteurized and chilled. Its
quality was also improved. No
event in public health saved more
young lives than this one. Deaths
in New York from dysentery and
other diseases fell dramatically
after 1910. Most of the childhood
deaths in Norfolk two cases of
typhoid fever, two cases of infant
diarrhea, a case of dysentery, a
child afflicted with meningitis
and another with a strep infection all might have been avoided.
Today, the infectious diseases
that killed Norfolk children
would be avoided because of
clean water, pasteurized milk,
vaccines, and antibiotics. Death
due to malnutrition would have

been treated with healthy food.

Nutritional and vitamin deficiencies were not widely recognized
in 1872.
The adult deaths from peritonitis, TB and other bacteria
would have been treatable. The
measles victim, a young woman,
would today have been vaccinated. Some adult deaths were
due to heart disease, including
a 16-year-old, possibly a consequence of rheumatic fever, which
would be effectively treated today. There were people who died
of accidents one young man
in a farm accident and one froze
to death, possibly due to alcohol.
Many people died in middle age
and people who died in their early
70s were listed on their death
certificates as succumbing to old
age.
I resurrect this history to begin a series on infection because
recently we have had certain
failures, reversions to 19th century risks think measles and
whooping cough epidemics and
ghastly drug-resistant bacteria.
The next column will describe
the first vaccines and ask why
they did not appear until about
1880. The best defense against
the reemergence of infectious
disease starts by keeping history
in mind.
Richard Kessin is professor
emeritus of pathology and cell biology at Columbia University. He
lives in Norfolk, but this column
could have been written about
almost any town.

Keep calm and carry a yoga mat

By Cynthia Hochswender

For adults, the holiday season offers plenty of reasons to

feel stressed out. For young
people, that holiday season
anxiety is compounded by the
end of the school term, bringing
with it final exams and projects.
The Mountainside addiction treatment center in North
Canaan, with the Housatonic Youth Service Bureau in
Falls Village and the and the
Northwest Corner Prevention
Network, created a list of tips
to help teens stay on an even
keel. In particular, the tips are
designed to help young people
avoid the temptation to self
medicate as a way to cope.
Study drugs
It can be tempting at this
time of year to experiment
with so-called study drugs
such as Ritalin and Adderall
without a prescription. Dont
do it, the experts advise. On top
of being illegal, these drugs are
also highly addictive.
You can study just as effectively without using stimulants,
if you address the root cause
of the problem: stress, the tip
sheet advises.
The sheet also warns that,
Not only can non-prescribed

study drugs be habit forming,

they can produce jitters, headaches, stomach problems, or
even eventually lead to psychosis, a mental disorder that
includes the loss of contact
with reality.
Find ways to self-soothe
Stressing out or feeling
overwhelmed can cause you
to lose focus and have memory
problems, according to the
tip sheet.
Find ways to reduce anxiety levels that dont include
medication.
Music is proven to improve focus and alleviate stress.
Most students know what
music gives them comfort.
Make a few mixes that can
give you what you need, whether its upbeat, mood-lifting
tunes or something more calm
and soothing.
Adult coloring books have
become all the rage recently
and with good reason, according to Mountainside.
Coloring seems to calm the
brains flight or fight and to
stimulate other areas of the
brain that help people think
more clearly.
Keep a coloring book nearby
or do some doodles on a sheet.
Drawing can also help loosen

up the muscles in your hands

and it can give your eyes a rest.
Try doing it at regular intervals
as a break while studying textbooks or working on essays.
Meditation clears away
information overload, improving overall cognitive abilities, increasing concentration
and expanding memorization
skills,according to the tip
sheet.
There are many sources on
the Internet that have advice on
how to meditate. Its a simple
process that involves breathing
deeply and clearing your mind.
In some ways yoga is
the physical version of the
more mental meditation. Yoga
stretches and poses can be
practiced in a small space at the
library or in a dorm room. Get
some friends to join you for a
healthy social break.
Yoga not only stretches out
your limbs, it also encourages
the deep, regular breathing that
is a key to stress reduction.
Yoga benefits you by calming your mind and aiding with
any bouts of insomnia you may
be experiencing, according
to the tip sheet. Practicing
mindfulness through yoga also
results in higher serotonin levels the happiness hormone.

For Thanksgiving, dont worry about avian flu

Presumably you have already
purchased your Thanksgiving
turkey. You already know whether you purchased a heritage breed
from a local farm or if you bought
a plastic-encased bird from a
large poultry farm (and let me
add that I think either type of bird
is fine; dont interpret my use of
the words plastic-encased as a
judgment).
But perhaps over the festive
family feast someone will bring
up the avian flu that hit many
large poultry farms this year,
and will wonder if its safe to
eat turkey.
As with most of these big
health things, no one seems to
really know for sure but also
the government doesnt seem
especially concerned. There
are no warnings at the websites
for the CDC and the FDA. And
most poultry producers seem to
be watching very closely for any

signs of contamination, and they

are euthanizing any birds that
could be ill.
The main concern seems to
be with the price of the birds,
but a New York Times article
published Nov. 19 thoroughly
catalogued prices and found
that, in fact, they had dropped
and some prices were even lower
than they were in 2104.

But if youre reading this on

Nov. 26 or later, the price is not
an issue. And presumably you
will have enjoyed your holiday
bird with no ill effects. If youre
reading this before your dinner,
dont worry; it is more likely that
someone will get sick from overeating than from eating a bird
that might have had avian flu.

THEATER: MARSDEN EPWORTH

Wait Until Dark

Bad Guys, Good Guys, Big Finish

ait Until Dark

is a play foundering from the
start under loads of intrigue
and exposition when all we
really need to know is 1: How
long has this woman been
blind? and 2: Is her husband
engaged in smuggling narcotics into the country?
Instead, Frederick Knott,
the playwright who also
brought us the equally complicated Dial M for Murder, uses
a similar strategy here: starting slow and ratcheting up to
an explosive finish, complete,
in this case, with crazed gangsters, a heroin-stuffed doll, a
corpse wrapped up in a carpet,
gasoline, matches, darkness
and a woman who can, mostly,
fare better without light than
most other people and who,
unlike most New Yorkers,
never seems to lock the front
door.
An added complication is
provided by the gangsters who
try to convince Suzy (Jessie
Truin), blind since an accident
a year ago, that her husband,
Sam (Kevin McCarthy), is
faithless and crooked.
So this is a messy tale with
lots of errant people except
for Suzy, of course, and Gloria
(Ellie DeMan alternating with
Julia Osterhoudt), a little girl
who lives in the apartment upstairs and appears to have no
parental supervision, making
it possible for her to run out
late at night to a bus depot to
watch for Sam.
Theres plenty of smoking (oh, those were the days),
threatening and intrigue as
everyone the police, the
gangsters, Sam, Suzy and Gloria hunt for the doll.

Lisa Lynd, a wonderful actor, directs this play, stumbling

a bit herself with all the bits
and pieces of the plot which
include lots of signaling with
Venetian blinds, scurrying
to locate new hiding places
for the doll, knocking on
pipes, telephone signals and
finding ways to make chief
gangster Harry Roat (Michael
Frohnhoefer) menacing. Then
theres the safe that cant be
opened, ex-con Carlino (John
Adair) who eats cold cuts out
of other peoples refrigera-

tors and another ex-con, Mike

Talman (Brian Kusch) who
appears to have a soft spot for
Suzy.
The play has a big finish
and, as you would expect from
a work of this ilk, a happy ending for everyone but the bad
guys.

would have played out on the
screen. The violent medieval
FX series which tells the
tale of a 14th-century Welsh
warrior who assumes the
identity of an executioner
has been canceled after one
season by the series creator
himself, Kurt Sutter, and FX
Networks CEO John Landgraf.
Sutter, who previously
created the FX hit Sons of
Anarchy, took out an ad in
publications such as The Hollywood Reporter and Variety
to announce the cancellation and thank everyone who
worked on the show.

is, meh, the ad states. So
with due respect, we bring our
mythology to an epic and fiery
close.
He wasnt kidding. The Nov.
17 finale featured an impressive battle with horses, swords
and plenty of fire the
equivalent of a 14th-century
Michael Bay explosion.
While the series received
mixed reviews and hemorrhaged viewers throughout its
two-month, 10-episode run, I
enjoyed it for the most part.
The plot became muddled and
meandered in too many directions, the episodes were too
long and some of the insanely
violent executions were gratuitous and unnecessary, but
I was intrigued by the characters and was impressed by
the epic battles and the overall
scope of the show.
Honestly, if youre even remotely interested in The Bastard Executioner, you could
probably get away with just
watching the pilot and the finale. In the first episode, were
introduced to Wilkin Brattle
(Lee Jones), a knight who has
traded his sword for the life
of a peasant farmer. He fights
against the taxes set forth
by the baron, and in return
his village is attacked. Many

people are murdered, including his wife and unborn child.

Brattle assumes the identity
of a dead executioner to enter
the castle and seek revenge.
Simple enough, right?
From there, it gets complicated. The bulk of the season
follows all sorts of plot lines
involving a healer (Katey
Sagal, Sutters wife), The Dark
Mute (Sutter himself), the
chamberlain (Stephen Moyer),
the baroness (Flora SpencerLonghurst), a torturer (Ed
Sheeran yes, singer Ed
Sheeran) and a wealth of other
characters. While theyre all
portrayed by wonderful actors
and actresses, the episodes
in the middle dragged on too
long.
Luckily, the answers I was
hoping for throughout the season were wrapped up nicely in
the finale, since Sutter knew it
was the end.
Im not entirely surprised

ART: MARSDEN EPWORTH

With a Point To Make

ts what art does: transform the ordinary, giving it

new meaning. Sometimes
it makes even the gargantuan
and forbidding a wonder to
see and think about.
Take the sooty, oily machines that slump in the dark
spaces of Arrowsmith Forge
in Millbrook, NY. To photographer Helen Hamada these
aged, massive pieces have
personality. They are animate and useful, she tells me.
She admires them. And she
admires Fletcher Coddington,
the artist/blacksmith who collected and restored the lathes
and turrets and all the other
hulks that shape and bend
and shear and bolt and cleave
in the pursuit of manufacturing things. He also uses them
to make parts for machines
too aged to have their own bits
and pieces stocked somewhere. Machines that made
bullets can be transformed
into machines that make
furniture, Hamada says. And if
Coddington cant get a part to
make this transformation, he
makes his machine make it.
So admiring was Hamada
of Coddington and his ideas
and his machines that she
took out her Canon 7D digital
camera and spent the next 18
months photographing his
iron giants, turning out a fine
photography show titled Metal
on Metal, a Toolmakers Tools,

science building.
I aimed to show their
beauty and personality,
Hamada says. She brought
in giant lights on wheels
and painted widths of canvas backcloths dark gray or
bronze. And when it came to
printing her images she used
metal, not paper. It works.
Where the painted surfaces of

the machines have worn away,

the bare metal reveals the
brushed aluminum surface
gleaming below it.
At the forge, its clear to see
that Hamada had lit and forcefully cleared her way into making these stunning images. On
our recent visit its a dark and
oily place and welding at the
other end of the building fills
the air with sparks.
Look away, Coddington
warns. It will make you blind.
Hamada and I take his advice.
He is huge and hirsute and
a great talker and a bit of a
joker. He hands Hamada a
metal pipe to hold vertically.
Then he passes over a shiny
rare earth magnet, something
used in computer hard drives
and fishing reels and roller
coasters, which she drops
into the the open top of the
pipe. Ordinarily, dropping
something into a vertical pipe
would mean that something
would exit rapidly from the
bottom. But this is rare earth
and it runs on different rules,
evidently, dropping out after
a leisurely downward course.
Then Coddington hands me

EXCURSIONS: LEON GRAHAM

The Whitney and Frank Stella

never liked the old Whitney

Museum. I could appreciate the daring and daunting strength of Marcel Breuer's
design, but it always seemed
inhospitable, protecting rather
than cherishing the trove of
great American art inside. So
when the museum abandoned
its several rejected plans to
expand around the Madison
Avenue location and turned its
face south, we could hope for
the best. And we got it.
Securing an amazing
location at the southern
terminus of the High Line
between Washington Street
and the West Side Highway,
the Whitney then gave Renzo
Piano the plum design job.
Piano had already worked
with the Whitney on several
Madison Avenue designs, but
unconstrained by the past,
he produced a swaggering,
light-filled, imaginative building that seduces the eyes and
senses before you even enter.
It pays tribute to its far West
Greenwich Village meatpack-

ing district location in materials enameled steel panels,

horizontal volumes laid on top
of one another, vast expanses
of glass overlooking the Hudson waterfront on one side, the
city on the other.
As a museum, it works brilliantly. Piano, who designed
the famous Centre Pompidou,
with its exposed pipes and
valves and exterior stairs, all
painted in primary colors,
also gave Houston's Menil
Collection a quiet dignity
and, recently, the Harvard Art
Museums new life and vivacity. Every Piano museum is
flexible, so art can be shown in
many ways, and human in its
interior scale and thoughtfulness. At the Whitney, an enormous plaza outside the ground
floor is connected to the lobby
by a full window wall; people
gather, sit, talk, even eat on
the plaza, something unimaginable at the old Whitney or
that bastion of unimaginative
architecture, the Museum of
Modern Art.

The first show at the new

Whitney, which opened last
May 1, was a wonderful journey through its permanent
collection. Arranged chronologically and with only one
piece from each artist, it was
also a priceless retrospective
of American art from the early
20th century to the present.
Currently the museum is
exhibiting a cheerful, imaginatively installed retrospective
of Frank Stella's long career as
one of America's leading modernists. Since he began painting and showing in New York
City soon after graduating
from college, there is hardly an
art movement of the last half
century or even the contemporary scene Stella, 79, still
paints every day that he has
not tried. Most he has mastered: black, striped pictures;
shaped canvases; brilliantly
colored geometrics; op art that
causes you to smile; sculptures
good and bad.
The genius of the show is
that it is not chronological but
mixes styles and years for similarities and contrasts. While
this can be confusing, it is also

MOVIES: PATRICK L. SULLIVAN

The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2

Sewer Mutants
Aside, A Long Movie

n Francis Lawrences The

Hunger Games: Mockingjay
Part 2, the audience gets
a really long movie to go along
with the really long title.
How long is long? Two
hours and 17 minutes.
The film is a sequel, and
there is no concern for anyone
who is not au courant with
the adventures of Catnip, I
mean Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence), Peeta Mellark (Josh Hutcherson), and
the most eee-vil man to ever
wear a brocaded silk dressing
gown, President Snow (Donald
Sutherland).
Theres also a bit of Philip
Seymour Hoffman as Plutarch
Heavensbee, who specializes
in looking wryly amused, and
Woody Harrelson looking like
the late Kurt Cobain.
Let us stay out of the weeds
and just leave it that the
revolution is almost complete;
all that is needed is the final

assault on the capital of Panem

and knocking off the Prez.
So Katniss and the gang
set off on their perilous mission. Its perilous because they
must carefully pick their way
through the ruined streets,
being wary of the the unusually
nasty traps set.
Its perilous because no matter how careful they are, they
set off the nasty traps.
Its perilous because the TV
keeps coming on to remind
them of the peril.
And it gets really perilous
when they are forced to go
through the sewer system.
Because in addition to the
unpleasant flotsam and jetsam
one expects in sewers, there
are: Fast-Moving Fang-Toothed
Slimy Sewer Mutants!
I really perked up when the
Sewer Mutants made their appearance. They swarm over the
victims, but Im not sure if they
have eyes. Big teeth they have,

though, and they screech.The
Sewer Mutants are really exceptional.
Unfortunately, screeching mutants dont have a lot
of lines, so in relatively short
order the peril has passed and
they are off to the palace to kill

Snow.
Theres a not-so-surprising
surprise at the end, and a resolution of the romantic angle
which I wont spoil.
The film is shot in blue, like
the old Kodak Ektachrome
slide film, except for the sappy
ending, which looks like old
Kodak Kodachrome slide film
(warm and yellow). As a standalone film Mockingjay Part
Two fails its more like a
final episode of a television series. I attended the sneak preview show at the Moviehouse,
along with approximately 300
13-year-old girls.

The Hunger Games Mockingly Part 2 is Rated PG-13

for violence. It is playing widely.

They liked it.

I liked the Sewer Mutants.
The remaining 132 minutes
were pretty tedious.
So, if youre fan, youve
already seen it and do not care
one teeny bit what I think.If
you are not familiar with the
story, dont start here.
And if you are a fan of movie
monsters and dont mind sitting through a whole lot of plot,
by all means go for the Sewer
Mutants.
