By SHAW ISRAEL IZIKSON

WINSTED A status report on

the former Lambert Kay building, located at 32 Lake St., was presented by
Interim Town Manager Robert Geiger
at the Board of Selectmens meeting on
Monday, Jan. 4.
While there was a report on the current activities concerning the building,
a former pet food factory, no actions
were taken by the board.
History of the building
The building has been vacant since
2002, when operations were shut down.
That same year, voters at a town
meeting approved the purchase of the
building by the town for $1.
Over the years companies planning
to purchase the site have all come and
gone.
In 2007, Christine Properties LLC
of Thomaston agreed to purchase the
property from the town for $50,000.
However, the deal eventually fell
apart within two years.
In June 2014 Arizona company
XS4D submitted a bid for the building
that was approved by the selectmen.
However, XS4Ds proposal fell apart in
July 2014 due to various controversial
circumstances.
In September 2014, after XS4Ds
proposal fell apart, Brooks Ventures
resubmitted a proposal to the town
with a bid of $25,000 plus a 50 percent
reimbursement of any remediation
grant funds used for the property, to
a maximum of $250,000.
The company decided to withdraw
its proposal in February 2015.
Currently there are no offers on
the building.
In July 2014, Gov. Dannel P. Malloy announced that the town will be
receiving a $500,000 grant from the
states Small Town Economic Assistance Program (STEAP) to assist with

REPORT

Northwest Corner high in food insecurity

By SHAW ISRAEL IZIKSON

NORTHWEST CORNER A
report issued in December by the
Community Foundation of Northwest Connecticut has named Winsted
as one of the highest impoverished
areas in the Northwest Corner.
The report, entitled Starved for
Attention: Food Insecurity in Northwest Corner, was completed in cooperation with the nonprofit Draper
Foundation Fund, which was founded
by former Colebrook residents the late
Jim and Shirley Draper.
Food insecurity is one of our regions most pressing concerns, organization president Guy Rovezzi wrote
in a letter with the report. No longer
a problem confined to the homeless
or unemployed, hunger has become
an urgent issue for one in every 10

Northwest Corner citizens. Chronic

hunger harms everyone, but it is
particularly devastating for children.
Proper nutrition is critical to a childs
physical and emotional development
and essential to learning and longterm educational achievement.
The report cites several sources for
its information, including Hunger in
America 2014 by The Connecticut
Bank, which cited that 68 percent of
people seeking food assistance from
the food bank had to choose between
food and medicine.
The term food insecurity is based
upon benchmarks introduced in 2006
by the United States Department of
Agriculture (USDA).
The benchmarks are: High food
security households who have no
problems accessing adequate food,
marginal food security households

who have had problems at time accessing adequate food, low food security
households who have reduced the
quality and variety of foods in their
diet but normal eating patterns were
not disrupted and very low food security households whose food intake has
been reduced due to a lack of money
and resources.
According to the report, the food
insecurity rate for Litchfield County
in 2012 is 10.5 percent, approximately
20,000 residents.
The food insecurity rate for children in 2012 in Litchfield County
is 16.4 percent, with 6,660 children
classified as food insecure.
According to the states Department of Social Services, as of 2012
7,861 residents are enrolled in the
Supplemental Nutrition Assistance
Program (SNAP).

Torrington has the highest number of SNAP recipients with 4,684

residents enrolled, 13 percent of the
towns population.
Winsted has the second highest
number of SNAP recipients with 1,345
residents enrolled, 12 percent of the
towns population.
New Hartford is listed as the sixth
highest number of SNAP recipients
with 158 residents enrolled, 2 percent
of the towns population, followed
by Barkhamsted with 117 residents
enrolled, 3 percent of the towns
population.
Norfolk is listed as 18th on the list
with 50 residents enrolled, 3 percent of
the towns population, and Colebrook
is listed as the 20th and last on the list
of SNAP recipients with 21 residents

Many changes for Winsted, area towns in 2015

By SHAW ISRAEL IZIKSON

CORNWALL State Police at

Troop B in North Canaan have announced the arrests of two suspects
in a burglary reported at Mohawk
Mountain Ski Resort shortly after
midnight on Monday, Jan. 4. Another
arrest is expected in the case.
Two Winsted residents, Ralph
Baldelli, 20, and Terrance Edwards, 20,
were taken into custody by State Police
Jan. 4, charged with several counts of
conspiracy to commit burglary and
third-degree larceny. Baldelli was also
charged with third-degree burglary.
Police say damage to the facility
during the break-in is estimated at
about $5,000, and that the suspects
took 10 money drawers containing
$2,050 in cash, ski passes valued at
$60 each and a bucket of loose change.
The investigation is ongoing.
Janet Manko

WINSTED For residents, 2015

will always be remembered as the year
of many changes.
The towns longtime Town Manager Dale Martin resigned, and there
were several changes in Town Halls
municipal government, including
the eventual hire of new Police Chief
William Fitzgerald.
There was a battle between the
Board of Education and The Gilbert
School over school choice, and eventually the whole board was shut down
after the state decided to take receivership over the troubled school district.
The first-in-the-nation American
Museum of Tort Law opened, which
brought national media attention to
Winsted.
There were several events that celebrated the culture and people in town
throughout the year, including the

annual Pet Parade, Laurel Festival and

Winchester Fire Department parades.
Toward the end of the year a new
mayor was chosen, along with a new
Board of Selectmen.
This was how the year went down
in Winsted:
January
In January, outdoor store Morsel
Munk announced that it would be
moving to the former Ivery and
Dudley building on 118 Main St. The
building was vacant for more than
eight years after Ivery and Dudley, a
long operating community pharmacy,
went out of business.
State Rep Jay Case (R-63) started
his second term of office after being
re-elected in November. Case continued to serve on the Appropriations
Committee.

New Years glitz and glamour at Crystal Peak

By ERICA TAYLOR

WINSTED On Saturday,
Jan. 2, the Highland Lake Watershed Association held Putting on the Glitz, a New Years
dinner dance at the Crystal Peak
Ballroom.
Every seat was full at the
tables in the banquet room.
According to event organizer
Pat Masucci, 106 guests were at
the event.
The band Apricot Brandy
played as dancing guests were
dressed to the nines, enjoying
camaraderie over elegant dinner
and drinks with friends and
family. There were raffle prizes,
contributed by local businesses
including Chatterleys, Nolis
Restaurant, Kent Pizza, ABC
Pizza and others. There was a
contest for most elegant couple and most glitzy person.

We try to have a winter

dinner dance every year to
get people out where they can
spend time with each other and
see their friends, Masucci said.
We dont aim to make a lot of
proceeds from this, we just aim
to give everybody a good time.
Guests had their choice of
New York strip, chicken, fish or
pasta, with desserts afterward.
Chef John and his wife do
a wonderful job, they are very
accommodating, Masucci said.
The waitstaff is fantastic with
us, they take good care of us all
the time, and make you feel like
youre wanted here.
Torrington band Apricot
Brandy made their first appearance at Crystal Peak during the
event.
Theyve been playing as a
professional band since 1999,
said Anne Marie Buonocore,

wife of bass player James

Buonocore. They have been
doing shows on New Years Eve
for the past couple of years, and
thought theyd give this a try.
According to Masucci, the
Winter Dance usually has a DJ,
but Apricot Brandy came highly
recommended.Theres all these
extra people here who came to
see them, she said.
While the association has
been hosting this event for the
past 12 years, this is the first time
they have had it so close to the
new year.
Weve had this event in February, weve had it in March, we
always change the date, Masucci
said. I figured we should go for
the Saturday after New Years,
being that so many people have
their own house parties to go
to on New Years Eve, and this
worked out perfect.

Friends and families gathered at the park for hot chocolate and cider, spreading cheer
for the upcoming new year.
Decorative luminaires were
aglow around the park to
welcome people over to join
the fun.
We try to do small things in
the community that help build
spirit, as well as bringing people
together to celebrate all of the
good and positive things that are
here in Winsted, Mayor Candy
Perez said at the event. Perez is
also a member of the coalition.
There are a lot of people
in Winsted doing small things
that are very positive and I think
we need to recognize, because
all the small things make the
community, she said.

Gilbert falls to Housy Northwestern varsity boys face Pomperaug

By JESSE WILLIAMS
WINSTED In a sloppy
contest full of penalties and unforced errors, The Gilbert School
Yellowjackets (0-4) fell apart late
on Jan. 5, losing 50-39 to the
HousatonicValley Regional High
School Mountaineers (3-1) in a
basketball game that was essentially decided at the line.
After leading for much of the
first half despite an inconsistent
offensive effort and numerous
sloppy turnovers and fouls, the
Yellowjackets could not generate
enough points to stay even with
Housatonic, who overcame
their own offensive struggles by
consistently getting to the line.
It is a disappointing loss,
because I felt its a game we could
have won, we should have won,
said Mark Douglass, head coach
of the Yellowjackets. When
we were running through our
patterns, running our offense,
we were in the game.
After leading for much of
the first half and taking a seven-point advantage late in the
third quarter, Gilbert was unable
to hang on as their offense stagnated and Douglass was forced
to sit key players who got into
foul trouble.
That spurred it, said Douglass. I talked to my kids that
coming off the bench, they need
to know what they need to do.
Seniors Jake Wendel, Ian
Ryan and Archie Aoerquilong
all were on the sideline for significant time in the second half,
which Douglass pointed to as a
turning point in the game.
Fouls really hurt us tonight,
said Douglass. We couldnt
get in a rhythm because when
we got in a rhythm I had to sit
Ian [Ryan], I had to sit [senior
forward] Kyle Root.
In the first half, the sputtering Yellowjackets offense had
moments of brilliance, mostly
sparked by senior guards Garrett
Lombardo and Aoerquilong.
Lombardo, despite throwing
away several possessions with
poor passes or rushed shots,
was able to find space at the
perimeter to knock down threes
or draw the defense in on smart,

aggressive drives to create open

looks for teammates.
We want the offense to kind
of go through Garrett, said
Douglass. He takes the outside
shots, and the defense runs on
him, and he can blow by them.
The Yellowjackets were never
able to get this success consistently, from Lombardo or
anyone else, as a methodical
Housatonic team whittled away
at the stiff Gilbert defense, making Root and Ryan work hard in
the paint every possession.
Eventually, the Mountaineers
drew enough fouls inside to pull
away from Gilbert, as the tired
and frustrated Yellowjacket
forwards were unable to contest
drives without putting Housatonic at the line.
Shots didnt fall tonight
either, said Douglass. Dont
know, fatigue or whatever
they play a lot.
Housatonic made 17 free
throws to Gilberts five.
When the Yellowjackets kept
Housatonic at the perimeter,
they had success and saw an
improvement in rebounding
from previous games. But as
soon as the Mountaineers got
inside, they were consistently
able to force Ryan, Root and
others into bad positions.
But even with their starters
in, the Yellowjackets struggled
to find consistency.
Down 33-28 in the fourth,
Ryan drew a foul on a good
inside move. After making both
free throws, Gilbert forced a
turnover on the next possession
and Ryan sank a transition three,
tying the game at 33 with just
under five minutes in regulation.
But quick turnovers on the
next two possessions, including
a silly long inbounds pass by
Wendel that landed in the third
row and another inside foul by
Ryan, forced Douglass to call a
timeout. The Yellowjackets gave
up another transition basket
immediately after play resumed,
and a tie game became an eightpoint Housatonic lead in under
90 seconds.
We just need to learn to be
more patient, said Douglass.
Run when we have the chance.

WINSTED The Northwestern Regional High School

Highlanders (3-1) are likely
to find themselves undersized
compared to many opponents.
But after a fired-up, inspired
victory over a much larger and
athletically gifted Pomperaug
Black Panther squad (4-1) on
Monday, Jan. 4, at a home basketball game, it seems unlikely
Northwestern will ever find
themselves overmatched.
Senior Anthony Case contributed 18 points for the Highlanders, while his brother, Alex,
added 16, and senior forward
Tucker Kreh pulled down 16
rebounds to lead Northwestern
to a hard fought 72-62 win in a
game that saw both teams playing
at a high level.
They got a lot of shooters,
said Northwestern coach Doug
Seabach.Every time we did leave
them open, they were knocking
them down. [Pomperaug is]
a pretty good team, so I think
playing like we did was probably
the only way to beat them.
After somewhat of a slow start,
both sides found an offensive
rhythm. The Highlanders leaned
all night on a dazzling, inspired
offensive performance by the
Case brothers, along with Krehs
standout work in the paint. Many
of Krehs boards were heavily
contested by Pomperaugs athletic forwards, Noah Miree and
Joshua McGettigan, but he was
consistently able to rip the ball out
of the air, and sometimes out of
their hands to give Northwestern
a huge edge on the glass.
Everybody was in there
fighting [for rebounds], said
Seabach. As big as some of their
players are. I was happy with the
rebounding.
After an early run that saw
the Highlanders take a 10-2 lead
early in the first, Pomperaug settled down and was able to limit
the Case brothers at times, and
find their own offensive rhythm
behind Miree, who created havoc
in the Northwestern defense both
with smart perimeter shooting
and penetration.
I thought the defense stepped
up tonight too, as well, across the
board, said Seabach. The help

One area where Pomperaug
was unable to figure out the
Highlanders was in transition.
The chemistry between Alex and
Anthony Case, as well as between
the two of them and Kreh, simply
baffled the Black Panthers.
One sequence in the third period saw Anthony Case grabbing

for an uncontested layup. After

experienced collective dj vu as
Anthony Case found Alex Case
again, in almost the exact same
place with another precision,
football-esque throw for another
easy bucket.
I think our players responded
since the last game, said Seabach,
with some energy and intensity,
and rebounding and team play.
Northwestern led by as much
as nine in the first half, but the
Pomperaug defense stiffened,
and the Black Panthers clawed
their way back to go into the
half down only two points.
Pomperaug experimented with a
full-court pressure defense early
in the second half, but quickly
abandoned it as the Case brothers
pressed up the floor, preempting
every trap and getting the ball to
Kreh and others for more inside
shots.
Still, behind Miree and a disciplined defense Pomperaug kept
it close, tying the game at 43 late
in the third on a layup by junior
Matthew Wynne. The Highlanders never blinked, though, as the
Case brothers continued to find
space and Northwestern made
shots when they needed to.
One of the biggest moments
came early in the fourth, with
all the momentum on the side
of Pomperaug, down 50-48.
Northwestern junior Sheldon
Green took a kick-out pass from
Alex Case, dribbled to the corner,
and launched a three-point shot
over a leaping Black Panthers
defender that skimmed the glass

Another stop on defense and
another bucket by Anthony Case
and Pomperaug seemed to deflate
Pomperaug as the Northwestern
crowd and bench came alive. A
floater by Kreh at 2:45 in the
fourth made the score 64-53 and
essentially put the game away.
After Pomperaug resorted
to fouling, Anthony Case made

every free throw to make sure

the Highlanders left with the win.
Seabach said he saw the win
as a quality effort over a good
opponent.
We wanted to make sure we
moved the ball, he said, and
well take the shot that theyre
gonna give us. For the most part,
we made the extra pass, and found
the extra player.

Happy New Year

from your
Community
Hospital
During this anniversary year of celebration and change, we want to thank our patients, employees, physicians, volunteers,
corporators, donors, businesses, legislators, and community partners, and let them know how much we appreciate their
generous and longstanding support. As we look back over the last 100 years, one important point is clear to us. We
realize that our history and legacy is not about dates, or places or machines, but about people - the people we serve and
our people who serve them. Together, we form our unique story and heritage. And it is to all of you, both past and
present, that we are forever grateful.

Celebrating 100 Years of Caregiving in 2016

Honoring Our Past

Building Our Future

The year 2016 will be a very special year for Charlotte Hungerford
Hospital our 100th anniversary serving the healthcare needs of northwest
Connecticut. After a century, Torringtons native son and philanthropist Uri
Hungerfords gift of a humble hospital on the hill continues to provide
personal care and comfort with the same dedication and commitment as
his mother, Charlotte, gave to others all those years ago.

As our next century of caregiving begins, 2016 will also be an important

transitional year in our history. We face a much different and more
complicated healthcare environment today than the early 1900s. For 10
decades, the hospital has remained strong rising to meet the challenges
of world wars, economic downturns, and natural disasters. Our only
constant, as they say, has been change. But we know that moving
forward means we must continuously reinvent ourselves and take all the
necessary steps to ensure we remain a strong, quality healthcare
provider well-positioned to invest in and provide the very best technology
and care.

It was a mild day on October 12, 1916, when our small three story
building opened its doors for the first time on Four Story Hill, a former
120-acre farm. Famed landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted
designed its grounds and driveways, fulfilling the wishes of those who
wanted to give the hospital the feel of a wonderful and welcoming
home.
By 1930, with the help of a generous bequest from our founder, Uri, a
new state-of-the-art seven story tower was dedicated to accommodate
the changing needs and technologies of a rapidly modernizing
healthcare field. This continued in the late 1950s and throughout the end
of the 20th century, when the hospital once again saw tremendous growth
and diversity in the healthcare services and technologies it offered.
Today, the hospital is the regions largest employer, fortunate to have the
talents, expertise, and dedication of over 1,200 employees, physicians,
and volunteers. Together with our community partners and business
community, we are proud to be a part of the diverse cultural landscape
that makes our region a great place to live and work. Its been a long
wonderful journey with many new milestones yet to come.

With this in mind, we began a process in 2014 to evaluate the possible

need for a strategic affiliation with a larger health system. Our goal
was to consider ways to strengthen our operational, financial and clinical
enterprise over the long-term, while remaining true to our mission of
providing safe, affordable healthcare to the people of our community.
Through this process, we have learned that entering a strategic
partnership with a larger healthcare system has the potential to expand
specialized services, provide access to new technology, help recruit
skilled providers, build purchasing power, enhance clinical expertise,
boost financial resources, and recognize cost saving benefits.
At present, we continue to explore the ways in which a partnership could
bring these advantages to our community. As with any decision of this
magnitude, the Board of Governors is conducting a careful evaluation of
our options and opportunities. We will keep our patients and supporters
well informed of our progress, and look forward to sharing our exciting
new steps as 2016 unfolds.
Sincerely,
CHH Board of Governors
CHH Medical Staff
CHH Senior Staff

Stay tuned for our special events throughout the year

celebrating our 100th anniversary!

The Winsted Journal

EDITORIAL PAGE A6

FRIDAY, JANUARY 8, 2016

Lambert Kay:
Decision needs to
be made in 2016

t has been almost 14 years since the town purchased the

old factory building on 32 Lake St. formally known as
Lambert Kay, and, all of these years later, the building still
stands empty, decrepit and falling apart.
The building has become a symbol of blight in Winsted. It
is also a symbol of political indecision and failed ideas.
While it may have been a good idea at the time in 2002
when residents approved the purchase of the building at a
town meeting for $1, the purchase of the building has been
proven to be a bad decision throughout the years.
In the span of almost 14 years, lofty plans by companies
to purchase the building have come and gone. Christine
Properties LLC of Thomaston, XS4D of Arizona and even
local Winsted company Brooks Ventures announced various
plans over the years to purchase the building. Each plan fell
through.
Meanwhile, work has continued on the property, including building analysis and abatement, mostly thanks
to a $500,000 Small Town Economic Assistance Program
(STEAP) grant awarded from the state in 2014.
At the Board of Selectmens meeting on Jan. 4, the board
voted to apply for another STEAP grant in order to pay for
more work for the building. Why?
In October, Rob Simmons, chief hydrogeologist of HRP
Associates in Farmington, issued a report to the town about
continuing work in the building. Simmons estimated that remediation for the property has been estimated at $1,111,400.
Why exactly would the town pay any of that, let alone
apply for a STEAP grant, when there has been no potential
buyer lined up for the property since February 2015 when
Brooks Ventures backed out of a potential deal?
Considering that there has been no interest from any
potential buyer for almost a full year, and considering that
there have been three potential buyers for the property that
have all pulled out of their plans over the course of 14 years,
perhaps it is time to give up the ghost and tear down Lambert Kay.
The town has continued to put funds, plans and so much
care into the old factory building. Has the town put any of
the same funds and energies into the three buildings in the
school district?
Just as much as The Winsted Journal has covered Lambert
Kay over the years, we have also continued to cover stories
involving the infrastructure of Batcheller Early Education
Center, Hinsdale Elementary School and Pearson Middle
School. In the course of interviews with Winchester School
District Receiver Robert Travaglini since he took office in
August, he has mentioned many times that the conditions in
the school buildings are deplorable.
As you can see, there are much more pressing issues than
fixing up an old and empty factory building.
Instead of letting this issue twist in the wind over and
over again for the next few years, its time to finally make a
decision on Lambert Kay, once and for all. If there are no
potential buyers for the building, instead of waiting 14 more
years for one, or if it costs hundreds of thousands of dollars
to remediate the building, our suggestion is to tear it down.

The rumble from the people

f only the people who engage

in road rage would engage
in corporate rage when
they are harmed by coverups or
hazardous products and gouging
services, aloof CEOs would start
getting serious about safety and
fair play. With press report after
press report documenting how
big business stiffs millions of its
consumers and workers, why is it
that more of these victims do not
externalize some of their inner
agonies by channeling them into
civic outrage?
It has happened on occasion
and with good results. After
Candy Lightner lost her daughter
to a drunk driver, she founded
Mothers Against Drunk Driving
(MADD) in 1980 as the only way
she could deal with her intense
grief. Asked what her principal
motivation was in building a
national movement to put homicide-producing drunk drivers behind bars, she replied: Revenge.
Medical malpractice victims
or their next of kin have started
special lobbying associations to
stop the attempt by the insurance
companies and physician lobbies
to weaken the rights of patients to
have their full day in court against
their negligent harm doers.
They also inform the public
about the need to discipline bad
doctors and careless hospitals so
as to reduce some of the 100,000
fatalities a year (according to the
Harvard School of Public Health)
from malpractice.
Jean Rexford started such a
group the Connecticut Center for Patient Safety in 2005
to press for quality health care
through the media and before
the state legislature.

The GOP platform in 1956
supported equal rights for
women, including equal pay for
equal work (the very words then
used), while favoring raising the
minimum wage for all workers

oppose today). Picking up from
Republican President Teddy
Roosevelt and his Bull Moose
party, the GOP platform in 1956
called for vigorous enforcement
of anti-trust laws to regulate
malfeasance and greed on Wall

1950s were sharply graduated
and extraordinarily high, in
order to recover from the War,
yet the USA economy boomed.
The GOP strongly supported
the United Nations, our national
parks, federal highways, public
schools and the postal service.
Where does the GOP stand on
these issues today?
In a side comment to campaign workers, Ike said something to the effect that Our
Socialist friends in Europe are
experimenting with new ways
to bring affordable health care
to all their people. We should
keep an eye on these initiatives,
and if they come up with a better mouse trap, we should try it
out in this country, adopt it if it
works, or reject it if it doesnt.

usurping the state courts and

For the most part, however,
Americans swallow their grievances and try to muddle through
their disrupted lives with subdued
anger. A major reason for this
external passivity is that the plutocrats and oligarchs have signaled
that it is futile to even try to make
a challenge or a ruckus.

where youngsters are given no

role of civil juries rooted in

Short of organizing into a

more people just shout out via

the people has gotten elected officials moving, including President
Richard Nixon, who signed wonderful bills into law that he never

Brokered conventions:
They rarely have happy endings

epublicans convening in
Cleveland this summer
could take part in the nations first brokered convention
in four decades. This rare phenomenon can occur only when
primaries dont produce a sure
winner, and they almost always do.
But when they dont, almost
anything can happen, except
a happy ending for the party
involved.
In fact, the last candidate to
emerge successfully from a brokered convention and get himself
elected president was Franklin

The GOP: yesterday and today

s a young admirer of FDR
and the New Deal,and
born to a mainly Republican family in Sharon and
Salisbury, I was nevertheless persuaded by the Presiding Justice
of the New York State Supreme
Court, Republican organizer,
and resident of Sharon, David
W. Peck, to help do door-to-door
campaign work in Manhattan for
General Dwight D. Eisenhower
in both 1952 and 1956. As you
know, I like Ike won by a landslide in both years.
It wasnt all that difficult or
improbable in those days for
an FDR fan to be enthusiastic
about General Eisenhower, who,
after all, had clearly won World
War II in Europe. But more than
that, the basic political and social platforms of the two major
political parties were not all that
far apart. It was more a matter
of fine-tuning for optimal solutions. Democrats, Republicans
and others could work together.
Not so today.
The GOP national platform
under President Eisenhower in
1956 asserted that our government was created to serve ALL
the people (not just a privileged
few). The actual text of the GOP
platform affirmed that Men and
women create the shared wealth
in this country, and They are
America. (The opposite of
Makers versus Takers.) The
GOP platform asserted that
Labor is the United States, and
it called for protection of the
rights of workers to organize into
unions and to bargain collectively. (It was noted at the time
that the Soviet Communist government, purporting to consist
of and represent the workers,

or price gouging of old drugs, in
the words of Johns Hopkins Dr.
Martin A. Makary. The era of the
$1,000 pill per day has arrived.
Picture the scene companies that have monopoly patent
ownership of drugs (many based
on taxpayer funded research and
development) are essentially
telling their customers with
life-threatening diseases that they
have to pay or die for unique
drugs that are priced at more than
$100,000 per patient per year,
unless they have an insurance
company to pay the tab.
Already, those insurance companies that do pay, along with
Medicaid and Medicare, are
staggering under the sharp surge
in costs during the past two years.
A casual Congress is just starting
to notice its responsibilities here.
On Dec. 22, 2015, the New
York Times reported that Fred
Kellerman, a retired car salesman
from Los Angeles, was receiving
a drug for free for his rare neuromuscular disease. The drug
improved his life dramatically.
Then he learned that a pending
FDA approval, with a seven-year
patent monopoly, could raise the
price to $100,000 per patient.
There are thousands of terrified
patients and families in the same
situation as Mr. Kellerman. Fright
needs to motivate organization.

Congressional attention with
their heartfelt stories and expressed sense of injustice.
Gilead Sciences Inc. bought
a company that had a drug to
cure Hepatitis C with a 12-week
regime. It started selling it for
$1,000 a pill a day in 2013 or
$84,000 for the full treatment. In
one year, Gilead took in more than
$10 billion from the drug, Sovaldi.

At a $100-a-plate dinner (free

for us campaign workers) in
Madison Square Garden in New
York (and on other occasions),
President Eisenhower observed:
Should any political party attempt to abolish Social Security
or unemployment insurance,
and eliminate labor laws and
farm programs, you would not
hear of that party again in our political history. Later he warned
of the military-industrial complex, and spoke of humanity
hanging from a cross of iron.
So where is our Grand Old
Party today? Perhaps Ike was
right. Perhaps the GOP has
ceased to exist! Looking at and
listening to the leading GOP
presidential contenders for 2016,
it is difficult to perceive a coherent continuity of conservative
policy and thought. The current
front runner, the extroverted and
entertaining Donald Trump, is
best characterized by an old Irish
saying, or question: How do I
know what I think, until I hear
what I say?
The presidential debates
and campaign ads are all about
He said, she said. Most of the
substance is missing and
deliberately so. What do todays
GOP candidates really stand for?
Even they dont seem to know.
President Eisenhower would be
horrified. We miss our Grand
Old Party; apparently it no longer
exists. Could it be resurrected?
Who could do that? Should we
try? Or is it better to abandon a
sinking ship and start over?

Roosevelt in 1932. Among the

other, more recent brokered
candidates, we find Tom Dewey
in 1948, Adlai Stevenson in 1952
and the incumbent President
Gerald Ford in 1976. Losers all in
the general election.
Brokering was in full flower
in the 1920s, when there were
two in a row, with the first one,
in 1920, producing the man who
heads nearly every list of our worst
presidents, Warren G. Harding.
Most of the delegates arrived at
that Chicago convention planning
to nominate the highly regarded
front runner, Leonard Wood.
A Harvard trained doctor and
Medal of Honor winner, Wood
was best known as the commanding officer of the Rough Riders
brigade and the U.S. Army chief
of staff who had been unable to
convince Woodrow Wilson to
prepare the nations military for
the World War.
But neither Wood, nor the
other leading contenders, the
conservative Gov. Frank Lowden
of Illinois and the Teddy Roosevelt
Progressive Sen. Hiram Johnson
of California, had the delegate
votes. The convention ended
instead with the nomination of
the man who was in fifth place
on the first ballot.
It would become the most
storied of historys brokered
conventions, the one in which
a handful of party bosses, weary and discouraged after eight
more ballots failed to produce a
nominee, gathered in what would
become the fabled, smoke-filled
Chicago hotel room and made
a deal.
The deal handed the nomination and ultimately, the presidency, to the undistinguished senator
from Ohio, who had postponed
his arrival at the convention to call
on his 23-year-old mistress, the
mother of his infant daughter. He
ran against the League of Nations
but for an association of nations
and as a supporter of Prohibition
who would serve bootleg booze at
his White House poker sessions.
It was conceded Harding
was a second rater, but, argued
a party leader, the best second
rater in the bunch, although the
bunch included Herbert Hoover,
who had fed millions of starving

Europeans during the recent war,

as well as Columbia University
President Nicholas Murray Butler
and Massachusetts Gov. Calvin
Coolidge.
For the Democrats in 1924, it
was even more chaotic. A party
divided by Prohibition, religion
and the influence of the Ku Klux
Klan had two leading candidates,
the wet, Catholic governor of New
York, Al Smith, and the Wilson
son-in-law and treasury secretary,
William Gibbs McAdoo.
It took 15 days and a record
103 ballots in sweltering Madison
Square Garden before the party
compromised on a colorless big
business lawyer, John W. Davis.
Davis liked to characterize himself
as a country lawyer from West Virginia, but the great H.L. Mencken
derided that image by always referring to him as John W. Davis of
Wall Street, West Virginia.He was
easily defeated by President Calvin
Coolidge, running for a full term
after succeeding Harding, whose
sudden death amidst scandal is
still a bit of a mystery.
Im rehashing this old news
because the current Republican
contest has all the ingredients for a
deadlocked convention several
strong to middling candidates
with the wherewithal to take the

contest into the summer and rules

that allow vote switching after
the first ballot without regard
for the will of the primary voters.
Only 16 percent of the delegates
will be chosen in winner take all
contests, according to The Wall
Street Journal.
Picture this. Donald Trump
comes to the convention with
the lead, but only about half of
the delegates. Backed by Super
PAC money, Ted Cruz, Marco
Rubio, Jeb Bush and Chris Christie
have been able to hold on and
get to Cleveland with enough
delegates to block Trump and tie
up the convention. Thats when
the party establishment steps
in in a smoke-free room, of
course and settles on anyone
but Trump or probably Cruz.
Maybe one of the other survivors
Rubio or Christie would be a
good bet or a real dark horse
like the experienced Ohio Gov.
John Kasich or, if ISIS atrocities
continue, Sen. Lindsey Graham,
two worthy selections. Maybe
even House Speaker Paul Ryan.
Or someone we hardly know
or know too well.

Area/Winsted

Winchester School District to start workshops

By SHAW ISRAEL IZIKSON

WINSTED The Winchester School District will offer

workshops for parents and members of the school community
starting in January.
The workshops were developed by Winchester School District Receiver Robert Travaglini
and Ruthann Horvay, director
of the school districts Family
Resource Center.
Travaglini was appointed by
the state as the school districts
receiver in August, and Horvay
has been working for the school
district for more than 16 years.
The idea is set around capacity-building for parents and
families when it comes to the
understanding of areas such as
the educational budget and the
educational components of the
school system, Travaglini said to
The Winsted Journal. In order
for the school district to sustain
the changes we are making to
move forward as we continue
to redesign and restructure our
school system, in order to sustain
that, we need parents to have
a certain amount of capacity
to understand the educational
process.
Last year we had a group of
parents who had some issues
with the school district, Horvay
said. I brought them all together and we called ourselves the
Parent Voices group. We started
this process in order to try to
help parents learn to deliver
their concerns in a way that they

would be heard. This way, they

would do the homework and
would research what has been
done and what might have been
done in other districts. Before
they presented their issues to the
Board of Education, they would
have all the ducks in a row and
they would be able to speak conclusively about the issue.
Over the past year, up until the
final Board of Education meeting
in July, parents and sometimes
students attended the meetings
with various issues concerning
the school district.
Issues included student bullying, organizational concerns and
concerns about special education
programs.
When he took over as receiver,
Travaglini canceled the remaining Board of Education meetings
scheduled for the year.
In her interview with The
Winsted Journal, Horvay cited
kindergarten class sizes as a cause
of concern for parents during the
course of this year.
One issue that brought parents together midyear was when
the Kindergarten class sizes went
from five students to four, she
said. The parents felt that they
had no say in that and they were
very concerned. They were very
concerned. I really dont like to
go backwards. To me, its about
forward thinking. I just want
to have parents that feel confident and empowered with the
knowledge that they could make
a difference for their children in
the district.

Horvay said the workshops

are a continuation of the Parent
Voices group.
The workshop program has
been developed by the Connecticut Center for School Change,
she said. Its a 12-week program
which starts with a retreat in
relationship building.
Horvay said the school district
received a grant of $18,000 from
the states Parents Trust Fund in
order to hold the workshops.
The name of the program
itself is the Parents Supporting
Educational Excellence.
I have volunteered to present some of the discussions,
Travaglini said. Some of the
discussions will involve understanding the school systems
budget to how we use our money.
If you have a child coming into
the school district, it means that
the school district will spend an
estimated $18,000 for that child.
What does that mean? How is
that going to impact my child.
We also have many families that
have children with disabilities.
We want parents to understand
the disabilities that the child has
but also what they should be
expecting educationally, both
from the areas of core instruction to the support process. Its
raising the capacity of knowledge
so the community can better
understand not only how the
educational process works, but
also so they are better educated
in how to ask questions of the
school system.
We also have a parents as

teachers program which we will

tap into as well, Horvay said.
We have had so much turnover
in our school district leadership
in our district that it has been
tough to stabilize a system like
this. Through this program, we
are going to to develop a system
where we will keep community
involvement and support. In the
process, we will also reach out to
The Gilbert School, St. Anthony
School and Explorations Charter
School because children in our
district attend these schools too.
Both Horvay and Travaglini
said they are very optimistic
about the workshops and their

potential for improving education for students in the district.

One of the goals is to keep
and sustain the programming
and support we are developing in
the district, Travaglini said. As
Ive said before, I dont bring a
magic wand or a pot of gold. Its
not going to be that is necessarily
going to create the changes that
need to be here in the school
district. In order to create these
changes, there needs to be more
than just restructuring, but also
stability. I dont bring magic
powers. You wont see me in
tights.
Its sharing our talents and

resources and balancing them

out as we go forward from here,
Horvay said. I hope that every
citizen in this town would stop
and ask themselves what role
they are going to take in improving the town. They should
ask themselves if they are going
to be part of the problem or be
part of the solution.
The workshops are scheduled
to begin on Wednesday, Jan. 27,
with a time and location yet to
be determined.

THE WINSTED JOURNAL, Friday, January 8, 2016

Wild Card Weekend

will be competitive
Last week, 10-6; final stats for
the season 154-102. Pick of the
Week, 1-0; for the season, 11-6.

he regular season is finally

behind us, which means
that its time for Wild
Card Weekend. I look forward
to what should be four highly
competitive games, and what
most interests me is the fact that
in all four games the home team
is not necessarily the favorite.
Granted, playing at home provides a certain advantage in each
game, but the four road teams
are very capable of winning on
the road. It should be interesting
to say the least to see who comes
out on top and advances to the
next round.
Lets get to it. Heres my take
on this weekends games and
as always, good luck with your
picks.
Saturday, Jan. 9
Kansas City at Houston
Both teams have overcome
an equally shaky start to the
regular season only to turn their
season around, and in Houstons
case, win their division, while
the Chiefs qualified as a Wild
Card entry.
These two teams met in the
first game of the season in Houston and the Chiefs came away
with a 27-20 victory. Since then,
both teams have advanced, benefited in part by relatively easy
schedules. With that said, though
the Texans are quite formidable
on defense, their offense lacks
consistency, while the Chiefs
play solid D and their offense is
steady, if not spectacular. I think
thats the difference in the game.
I like the Chiefs by the same
score as earlier in the season,
27-20.
Pittsburgh at Cincinnati
Both of these teams have had
to overcome signicant injuries
to star players in order to get into
the playoffs. The Steelers lost Big
Ben earlier in the season for a
few weeks, but an even greater
loss was that of RB LeVeon Bell.
Fortunately the Steelers have
found serviceable replacements
for Bell, and Big Ben is back,
which could spell trouble for
the Bengals.
As for the Bengals, they had
what is even a more devastating
injury, that to QB Andy Dalton.

Pinks
NFL Picks

C. Pink Bunel
Though he could possibly return
if the Bengals advance, he is out
of this game.
This will be a rock em/sock
em game that will be decided
by the offensive firepower of
the Steelers and their improved
defense. Ill stick with my Steelers
in this one, 24-19.
Sunday, Jan. 10
Seattle at Minnesota
By defeating the Packers last
week, the Vikings may very well
have sealed their fate by earning
a first-round game against the
Seahawks.
Take nothing away from the
Vikings, they have the best running back in the game, a capable
QB in Teddy Bridgewater and a
solid defense. What they dont
have is playoff experience, and
that is just one of the many
strengths of Seattle. QB Russell
Wilson sits on or near the top
of NFL QBs, and with the impending return of RB Marshawn
Lynch, the offense is primed to
put points on the board. As for
their imposing defense, they tied
an NFL record by giving up the
least amount of points for the
fourth consecutive year.
Dont get me wrong, its the
playoffs and rarely does a win
come easy, but I look for the
Seahawks to pull away late for a
convincing 30-17 victory.
Green Bay at Washington
This game matches two teams
that watched their seasons go
in opposite directions. After a
great start to the regular season,
the Packers All-Pro QB Aaron
Rodgers struggled to play up
to the level of previous years,
and that corresponded with the
inconsistent play of the Packers.
On the other hand, the
Redskins struggled early in the
season, but with the emergence
of Kurt Cousins at QB and an
improved defense the Skins
emerged as division champs in
the NFL East (Least).
The way I look at this game is I
cant pick all four home teams to
lose, so Ill stick with the Redskins
at home in this one, 30-24.

costs of redeveloping the building.
Despite both XS4Ds and
Brooks Ventures proposals failing, work has continued on the
building, with the town hiring
HRP Associates of Farmington
in November 2014 to assist in the
remediation and investigation of
the building.
A written update
Robert Simmons, chief hydrogeologist from HRP Associates,
submitted a written update to the
board before the meeting.
While Simmons was not at
the meeting, Geiger read report
to the board.
Simmons wrote that he met
with Robert Colabella of Laurel
Engineering of Winsted for a
preliminary walkthrough of the
property on Dec. 30.
He wrote that he met with
Colabella in order for him to
prepare for a structural evaluation
of the site.
His initial reactions were that
some portions of the building
showed obvious structural issues
which could complicate redevelopment, Simmons wrote. I also
contacted the states Department
of Energy and Environmental
Protection (DEEP) Remediation
to organize a meeting to discuss
the site and in particular the two
areas of sediment impacts, including the oily impact to stream and
sediments behind dam.
Simmons wrote that a meeting between himself and DEEP
has not been scheduled as of yet.
I have an updated draft
report with newly revised soil
and groundwater alternatives
standards with additional polluting substances, Simmons
wrote. I am awaiting the results
of a complete structural evaluation and DEEP meeting prior
to finalizing as the current remediation strategy is based on
buildings being maintained and

DEEP input is vital to finalizing

the plans for addressing the two
sediment issues.
Simmons wrote that, as requested by the town, he has started
discussions with demolition
contractors to get an estimate of
the costs to remove the site buildings down to the slab should the
structural evaluation indicate that
the building is not structurally
sound and therefore not economically feasible to renovate.
I am preparing a draft Request for Proposal to get bid
pricing from the list of state
Department of Administrative
Services remediation contractors
to provide costs for each of the
identified areas of site remediation to allow the town to move
forward on those aspects that are
economically feasible within the
current budget and to confirm
costs for additional remediation
which will be beyond the currently allocated funds, Simmons
wrote.Using the list of approved
contractors for remediation is a
similar process as was used for
the asbestos abatement work and
laboratory analyses previously at
the site.
Later on during the meeting,
as recommended by Geiger, the
board unanimously approved a
resolution to apply for a $500,000
state STEAP grant.
As part of the recommendation to the board, Geiger wrote
that, if received by the town, the
STEAP grant would be used for
the completion of environmental
remediation, the completion of
a highest and best use real estate
evaluation and marketing of the
property.
The use of the grant will also
include either the demolition,
construction or remediation of
the site that will result in the
property returning to a productive state.

elen Klein Ross, a

resident of Lakeville, has a new
book out this week: What
Was Mine. It is set in
vibrant scenes in New York
City, California, China and
the New Jersey suburbs, and
it is daring and remarkable.
She is not afraid of violating
(successfully) the standard
rule in fiction of maintaining a single, constant
voice. Instead she competently uses multiple voices
of several characters which
could confuse (even annoy)
a reader. In Rosss hands,
amazingly, neither occurs.
A nearly unbelievable
act sets the story in motion as the main character,
Lucy Wakefield, a creative
director in a New York ad
firm, kidnaps a baby girl
from a cart in an Ikea store.
Having tried and failed to
conceive a child, Lucys
story and the consequences
of her action, including the
wrenching consequences
for the childs mother, father
and the baby, Mia, are re-

markably credible in Rosss

telling. The reader is sucked
into the lives of a multitude
of characters, each voice
convincing and individual,
from Marilyn (Mias mother)
to Mia herself as a child and
young woman of 21,when
she confronts the truth of
Lucys astounding action.
See for yourself if Rosss
writing wont convince and
astonish you. Her sense of
place, the description of
character, the emotional
power of the story and the
questions she raises about
truth telling, the consequences of an impulsive act,
are impressive, to say the
least. Rather unsettling, to
be honest. A thoroughly entertaining read, What Was
Mine sets forth thoughts
of love, recrimination and
forgiveness.
Ross is a writer, poet
and former advertising
executive, whose work has
been published in The New
Yorker, The New York Times,
the Los Angeles Times and
The Iowa Review. She was

Binding Art to Social

Consciousness

ames Barron has pulled

a flower out of his
hat as the thematic
centerpiece of his winter
exhibition in Kent, CT. A solar-powered flower, actually.
Created by Berlin-based
artist Olafur Eliasson, who
usually makes enormous
installations such as 2008's
Waterfalls in New York
City, the Little Sun is a
bright yellow sunflower
with a solar-powered lamp

at its center. It provides

light to many people around
the world who live off any
power grid. Barron says
Little Sun is a shining example of how art and social
consciousness can go hand
in hand.
Barron's idea for the full
show was to gather artworks that deal with winter

MOVIE: LEON GRAHAM

The Big Short

A Hilarious, Appalling
Look At Finance

his film, The Big

Short, is a comedy that masks
a growing anger, one
you may share. Director
Adam McKay has transformed Michael Lewis's
bestseller, a dense book
about the 2008 economic
collapse and the people
who profited from it,
into a fast-paced film
like his movies with Will
Ferrell.
If you understand
complex financial instruments, or believe government policies precipitated the disaster, you may
not enjoy the movie. But
if, like most of us, you
don't know your collateralized debt obligations (C.D.O.) from your
credit-default swaps,
you'll bounce along with
this boisterous film and
laugh out loud, even as
you should grow angrier
by the minute.
Ten years ago, few
outside the big bank fortresses understood what
was going on inside:
mind-boggling chicanery
based on mortgage debt
instruments that combined good mortgages
with poor, even outright
worthless ones, sold as
investment packages.
Understand? Not to
worry. Margot Robbie,
from The Wolf of Wall
Street, in a bubble bath
with a glass of champagne explains subprime
mortgages for us, then
waves us away with a
four-letter word.
Then there is celebrity chef/writer Anthony
Bourdain using a threeday-old fish soup as a
metaphor for a financial
deal. And perhaps best,
Selena Gomez at a blackjack table showing how
a synthetic C.D.O. works.
So is McKay aiming to
educate us? Absolutely
not. He is, however, out
to play with the chaos
surrounding the buildup
to the financial crisis.
He spins various story
lines like a boy playing
with a top, and the film
moves are so fast-paced,
so boisterous, so exuberant in exposing gullibility and greed that you
laugh at the farce while
anticipating the disaster

to come.
The film centers
around Michael Burry
(Christian Bale, edgy,
terrific) whose medical
education allows him to
be called Dr. Burry. But
he is no longer in a caring, healing profession:
he runs Scion Capital, an
investment fund. Smart,
socially inept, devoted to
new age living Burry
walks barefoot around
his office with drums
and loud music he detects through laborious
reviews of data that the
housing market is built
on mortgage quicksand
and will soon sink.
So Burry decides to
bet against the market
it's legal, if not moral,
to make money off the
suffering of others
and soon has intrigued
Jared Vennett (Ryan
Gosling, playing a lounge
lizard who happens to
grift on Wall Street) and
Mark Baum (Steve Carell
in one of his best serious
performances) into placing the same bets. As
the film gallops toward
the ultimate calamity,
we join the main characters in wondering why
the collapse is taking so
long.
It would spoil the fun
and the underlying anger
of the film to reveal more
of the multiple story
lines. Suffice that the
breakneck humor, the
large and superb cast,
the consummate brio of
the film leave us rooting
for Burry and Baum and
even slimy Vennett, only
recovering our anger
when McKay slams us
with some preachy editorializing in onscreen
print at the end. But
then during the holidays
I heard a Wall Street type
explain that the whole
housing bubble was the
creation of the federal
government and President Clinton's edict to
expand American home
ownership, which caused
the banks to give loans
to unqualified people. So
I'll just be angry along
with McKay.
The Big Short is playing in area theaters. It is
rated R.

sun's lowest point of the

recycled materials. While
some works in the show
meet that criterion, many
do not. But no matter. Most
are very fine on their own.
The most wintry work is
Lynn Davis's stunning gelatin silver print of a Greenland iceberg from 1988. The
angles of the huge floating
mass are like planes of pyramids, some in bright light,
some in shadow. You may
wonder, as I did, if it is still
there in our era of ocean
warming.
Beverly Pepper, now 93
and based in Todi, Italy, is
a New York City-born artist
famous for her monumental
works made from a variety of materials and often
placed outdoors. She got
her first major steel sculpture commission through
the great sculptor David
Smith. The works in Barron's exhibits, however, are
clearly more Giacometti
than Smith. Made of wood

and steel, tall and slender,

they have a timelessness
that Barron compares to
Etruscan artifacts. Pepper
calls them messengers who
go between a sender and a
receiver. They are wonderful.
Cameron Martin's acrylic,
Fade and Promise, shows
bare, winter tree branches
against a pale background
striated in shades of white.
Jeanette Montgomery Barron's archival print, Blue
Mirrors #1, combines palest
multiple images of a mirror
against a light-to-darker
blue background.
Angela Dufresne's two
oils one of her mother
smoking and a self-portrait
of herself as Mildred Pierce
are moody, dreamy,
dripping with vibrant colors
running into each other.
Ralph Gibson's two silver
gelatin prints of female
nudes are gorgeously shadowy. And Calixte Dakpogan's Boy, 2008 is a challenging, bovine face made of
