Heartbreak and frustration

were the watchwords in the
region in 2015, as they were in
much of the world.
A prevalent topic, locally,
was numerous deaths of young
people in their 20s, especially in
the first six months of the year.
Construction projects continued to remain just out of
reach of completion.
But there were joyful moments and triumphs as well.
Heroin
Citizens convened several
public events to try and fight the
rise in drug abuse, particularly of
opiate drugs, in the Northwest
Corner.
According to data from the
state Office of the Chief Medical
Examiner, there were 317 accidental drug intoxication deaths
between January and June of
2015 in Connecticut.
Of the 317 deaths in the first
half of 2015, 16 were in Litchfield County towns, as far afield
as Terryville, Watertown and
Washington but with a number
of them in Torrington, Sharon
and North Canaan.
Some 85 people came to
North Canaan Town Hall on
Oct. 3, for a forum on drug addiction in the Northwest Corner
sponsored by a new group, the
United Coalition of the Northwest Corner.
Organizer Brian Ohler said
the group is comprised of local
residents, business owners and
anyone interested in a brighter
future.
At that meeting State Police
Trooper Dave Collins said the
police rely on the publics input
in the fight against drugs. People
can call the resident troopers in
Salisbury or North Canaan at
their respective town halls; call
the Troop B barracks non-emergency number at 860-824-2500;
or use a new text message tip
service (which is anonymous)
at 274637 (enter TIP711 plus a
message).
At a second coalition meeting at Sharon Town Hall on
Oct. 31, State Police Trooper
Roy Dungan explained the
law enforcement perspective
to a sometimes skeptical and
frustrated audience.
He urged residents to open
your peripheral vision and look
for the out-of-the-ordinary in
their neighborhoods strange
cars making frequent visits, or
a lone person walking around
and knocking on doors to see
if anyone is home.
He also stressed the importance of locking up when out
of the house.
Dungan acknowledged the
frustration of residents who are
aware of drug activity in their
towns, but do not see arrests.
He said the State Police have
to put together good cases that

wont be thrown out of court
and that takes time.
At the Oct. 31 meeting,
Rebecca Rosen, a registered
nurse and program director of
the Senior Behavioral Health
Program at Sharon Hospital,
warned that heroin addiction
often starts when someone is
prescribed opioid painkillers
and a teenager spots the unused
pills in the medicine cabinet. The
teenager uses up the prescription

and looks to buy more, only to
discover a) that prescription
opioids cost upwards of $80
per pill on the street and that b)
heroin, which is the same basic
drug and has the same effect, is
available for as little as $5 a bag
(a bag being a single dose).
My message to my children
is: Once you do it, youre addicted. There is no turning back. You
need treatment.
Students at the middle schools
in Salisbury and Sharon heard a
presentation by Ginger Katz in
November.
Katz, of Norwalk, Conn.,
founded an advocacy group, the
Courage To Speak Foundation,
after she lost her 20-year-old son,
Ian, to a heroin overdose in 1996.
Ian eventually agreed to a
program of treatment, 12-step
groups and counseling but

the night before he was to leave
for treatment, he used heroin
one last time.
He didnt make it.
Katz warned the students that
they will have to make decisions
about drugs in the near future.
Most kids dont use drugs,
but most kids will be exposed,
she said.
Ian was a good kid, she con-
tinued. He made an unhealthy

decision to use drugs.
And awareness efforts continued at Housatonic Valley
Regional High School.
Evan W., a 31-year-old man
from White Plains, N.Y., described to students his progression from smoking marijuana
and drinking alcohol in high

The flyboys from Yale, in film at Forum

By Leon Graham
SALISBURY They were 12

young, rich, privileged students
at Yale, where classical education
emphasized the duties of a countrys elite. When war broke out in
Europe in 1914, they formed an
aero club at their own expense
to train as pilots. And when the
U.S. entered the war in 1917,
they were among the first to
volunteer for the Naval Reserve
and go to Europe to try to destroy German submarine bases.
Their comrades called them The
Millionaires Unit.
On Sunday, Jan. 17, at The
Moviehouse in Millerton, The
Salisbury Forum will present a

new award-winning documentary film that tells the story of
these young men and how their
experiences in the war altered not
only their lives, but the future of
military aviation, warfare, even
foreign policy.
Created by friends Ron King
(a grandson of unit member John
M. Vorys) and Darroch Greer,
the film draws on The Millionaires Unit, a book by Marc
Wortman. Extensive research at
Yale, the Library of Congress,
even the Imperial War Museum
in London gave the filmmakers
insights into the importance of
the Unit. And they filmed World
War I planes at air museums in

the U.S. and in Europe.
But the most touching parts of
the film come from the fliers own
words in letters home told by
family members and historians
(Bruce Dern narrates the documentary). If there is a model for
The Millionaires Unit, it must
be the best films of Ken Burns,
the ones that draw you inside
lives, with all their triumphs and
sorrows.
World War I was not the heroic conflict Unit fliers expected.

A Gilded Age Icon at Town Hall on Saturday, Jan. 9, at 4 p.m. This

Charles Dana Gibson, a commercial artist between 1890 and
1920, created an ideal American woman The Gibson Girl. Tall,
lovely, elegant, independent and strong, she was competent either
on a bicycle or in the ballroom. She was also one of Gibsons images

may register and vote in the presidential primary on April 26.
In addition, unaffiliated voters may join a party and vote

Registered Republicans and Democrats who wish to change
their affiliation must do so by Jan. 26.
The Millionaires Unit is the inspiring story of a group of

Yale students who, motivated by patriotism, courage, and
honor, joined the Navy at the outbreak of World War I, learned

Salisbury
Resistance to Lime Rock Park request stirred community

SALISBURY In a relatively
peaceful year, Salisbury residents
tried to make improvements in
quality of life, with plans for
housing and parks. Some plans
worked, others not so much.
The biggest controversy of the
year was a quiet move by Lime
Rock Park to make some changes
to its operating agreement.
In September, Lime Rock Park
went to court to try to amend
the injunction governing the
days and hours of operation at
the auto racing track. Alarmed
neighbors formed the Lime Rock
Citizens Council to oppose the
tracks moves.
Meanwhile the Planning and
Zoning Commission took up
proposed amendments to the
towns zoning regulations concerning the track the major
bone of contention being a proposal to insert the language of the
1959 injunction (and subsequent
amendments) directly into the
regulations.
There were two lengthy public
hearings on the topic (on Sept. 8
and continued on Oct. 19).
The commission met Nov. 19
and the regulations were added,
including a new section that
prompted another legal action,
with Lime Rock Park now in the
process of suing the Planning and
Zoning Commission.
Earlier in the year, several
upgrades had been made to
the track and the surrounding
park in the paddocks, on
the hillside where spectators sit,
bathrooms, hospitality areas,
cell and wireless services. LRPs
Rick Roso said that track owner
and founder Skip Barber had
committed more than $3 million
to making the park a better experience for racers and spectators.
The attack on invasives
Upgrades were made to a
completely different park in
2015 as well: A group led by Tom
Zetterstrom and Todd Mervosh
reclaimed Washinee Park from
some of the invasive species that
have been choking out native
plants (including trees) and creating breeding habitats for ticks
throughout the region.
YEAR IN REVIEW 2015

In 2009, restoration work
began. Debris was removed,
firewood salvaged and the
remainder put in a burn pile.
Zetterstrom said that even in
December, working at the park,
he still found a tick on his leg.
In 2010, more brush was
cleared, a second burn pile created, and stumps were removed.
The park was now mow-able, but
bittersweet an invasive species
and a thorough nuisance was
resprouting.
It was time for a 1 percent
solution of the herbicide triclopyr, a selective herbicide for use
on broadleaf and woody plants.
A different herbicide, glyphosate was used in the next phase,
along the park perimeter, to get
rid of honeysuckle via the cutand-apply (or cut-and-paint)
method.
The third phase targeted the
invasive barberry, with the help
of students from The Hotchkiss
School.
Washinee Park is not the
only town park on Zetterstroms
radar. The gem of our park
system is the 288-acre Scoville
Sanctuary, he said.
Housing
Town residents voted down
a plan for affordable housing in
the village of Salisbury.
At a February town meeting,
the final tally was 193 votes
against granting the Womens
Institute for Housing and Economic Development a right of
way on the town-owned Rail
Trail. There were 115 yes votes.
The Womens Institute maintained that it needed to settle the
question of access before specific

plans for an affordable housing
complex (on a parcel donated
by Salisbury resident and
selectman Jim Dresser) could
be drawn up and an application
filed with the Conservation and
Planning and Zoning commissions.
While more than 300 people
voted on the affordable housing
proposal, only 22 took part in
the annual town budget meeting
vote in May 13. All 22 of them
approved the spending plans for
2015-16 from the Board of Selectmen and Board of Education.
Municipal spending is
$5,592,123, an increase of
$147,994 (2.72 percent). The
Salisbury Central School budget is $5,153,269, an increase
over 2014-15 of $109,550 (2.17
percent).
Salisburys Region One assessment was up to $3,337,406,
an increase of $287,616 (9.43
percent), bringing total education spending for 2015-16
to $8,490,675, an increase of
$397,166 (4.91 percent).
Immediately after the town
meeting the Board of Finance
voted to raise the mill rate to
10.7 (from 10.5).
This was a 2 percent increase.
For the average Salisbury home
assessment of $355,000, 2 percent means an additional $71 on
the property tax bill. Salisbury
continues to have one of the
lowest mill rates in the state.
Sacred spaces and songs
The Church of St. Mary in
Lakeville celebrated its 140th
anniversary in 2015.
MARIETTA WHITTLESEY, M.S.

Licensed Professional Counselor
Psychotherapy for
Adults, Adolescents and Families
184 Main Street, Lakeville, CT
860-435-2777
In May, the Rev. Joseph Kurnath offered a brief history of the

congregation and its church. In
1849, a first open Mass was held,
at the former Davis Ore Mine in
Lakeville. Prior to that, Catholics
had attended services in private
homes. Kurnath said that most of
the congregants had come to the
region fleeing the potato famine
in Ireland.
Services were held for many
years at St. Patricks Church in
Falls Village (that church has
since closed and been deconsecrated). In 1875, the land for
the Church of St. Mary was
purchased in Lakeville at the
intersection of Wells Hill and the
Sharon Road (Route 41), with
funds donated by both Catholics
and Protestants.
Down the road a ways, in the
center of Salisbury village, Jack
Bowman joined the Congregational Church as its new minister
of music, organist and choir
director in March.
He replaced the much-loved
Al Sly, who had retired after many
years as the churchs musical director. Sly died on Dec. 24.
Bowman has an energetic
approach. Its important for the
congregation to sing. We need to
bring life to these hymns.
He also assembled the Salisbury Sinfonietta, made up of
43 professional musicians, most
from Connecticut and many
from the Northwest Corner and
o ing
adjacent areas. The Sinfonietta,

larger than a chamber music
group but smaller than a fullfledged symphony orchestra,
made its debut Oct. 18.
Scoville Library renovation
Significant renovations to the
Scoville Memorial Library began
in the fall. The million-dollar
project includes a new childrens
room in the downstairs area, the
conversion of the existing childrens area to an adult reading
room and a staircase connecting
upstairs to downstairs.
Also planned: new HVAC
systems; a garden outside the
lower level; a reconfiguration
of the circulation desk area; a
revamping of the Wardell Community Room.
In the interim, library events
are being held at Town Hall, the
White Hart and other venues.
The Salisbury cannon
In August, what is thought to be
a Salisbury cannon went on display
at the Academy Building on Main
Street home of the Salisbury
Association Historical Society.
The gleaming gun was
brought over to the Academy
Building on Reggie Lamsons
truck on Thursday, Aug. 6. A team
of volunteers maneuvered the
820-pound cannon and carriage
off the trucks hydraulic lift and
into the building.
Identifying a Salisbury cannon, made for the American
Revolution, is difficult, because
en s a
the primary identifying characteristic of a Salisbury cannon is

no identifying characteristics.
The Lakeville iron furnace was
commandeered by Connecticut
Gov. Jonathan Trumbull in 1776
to supply the Revolutionary
army. The operation produced
cannons and other armaments
from 1776 to 1783.
At least 850 cannon were
made, from small swivel guns
for mounting on ships to 18
pounders. (A cannon caliber
refers to the weight of the projectile it can fire.) The Historical
Societys cannon has a 3.5-inch
diameter bore and could fire a
6-pound ball.
Trout habitat
Stream restoration work was
done on the Salmon Kill. At one
site on Farnam Road, along a
curved section of the bank, vegetation was removed and several
large trees, with the limbs cut
off and lying perpendicular to
the stream, were put in, spaced
10 or 12 feet apart, with their
roots (root wads in stream
restoration parlance) actually in
the water. They are held in place
by cables attached to logs driven
straight into the ground.
The goal is to wind up with
good trout habitat throughout
the stream, which has suffered
from silt buildup, lack of cover
and high water temperatures
all of which make a trouts
life difficult.

New leadership in 2015 in many key Sharon posts

SHARON Several of the
biggest stories of the year in
2015 involved Sharon Hospital, which saw some seismic
changes.
The year began with a
January announcement that
Yale-New Haven Hospital had
applied to the state Office of
Healthcare Access for permission to close its Smilow Cancer
Care facility, which was renting
space at Sharon Hospital.
In the application to the
state, Yale-New Haven noted
that three of the four oncologists in Sharon had just retired
or would retire shortly.
No oncology center has been
brought in to replace the former
Sharon facility. Cancer patients
now go to Torrington, New Haven or elsewhere for treatment.
The year came to a close
with the announcement in
November that hospital CEO
Kim Lumia had been abruptly
dismissed. Chief Nursing Officer Peter Cordeau is now the
interim CEO and Christian
Bergeron remains as CFO.
There was also a change in
investors for the hospital. The
partner of RegionalCare is no
longer Warburg Pincus; it is now
Apollo Global Management.
New faces, places
One of the bigger local shifts
in town happened very quietly:
After many years of discussion
and concern about the care of
the roads in town, the selectmen
instituted new procedures for
the town crew. Things seem to
be rolling along efficiently now
under the leadership of new
town crew head Bob Carberry.
One of the first challenges the
crew had in 2015 was keeping
the roads clear as a particularly
foul winter hit New England. By
the middle of February, Sharon
was almost out of sand and
salt for the roads and new
supplies could not be procured,
since other towns along the East
Coast were running low as well.
Spring came, at last, and
brought with it the welcome
return of farmer Charlie Paley,
YEAR IN REVIEW 2015

who had closed Paleys Farm
Market the previous summer
and taken a hiatus. He returned
with a big smile on his face in
March; the smile never seemed
to go away (and was helped by
a particularly fertile summer,
with a bumper crop of gorgeous
tomatoes).
There were some changes in
personnel during the year. Lorraine Faison and Robin Yuran
were named co-executive directors of the Hotchkiss Library
of Sharon in June. Childrens
Librarian (and Sharon native)
Emily Bartram left the library in
August to take a job as curator of
the archives for the archdiocese
of Hartford.
John Horstman came out of
retirement to become the administrator for Sharon Health
Care Center. He had previously
been administrator of Geer
Nursing and Rehabilitation in
North Canaan for 16 years.
One place where there was
not a change of personnel was
on the Board of Selectmen:
All three board members were
returned in the November
election. Howard Randall had
run for office against the three
incumbents (First Selectman
Brent Colley and Selectmen
Jessica Fowler and Dale Jones).
The changing landscape
The Sharon Housing Trust
joined forces with Habitat for
Humanity of Northwest Connecticut to develop a parcel
of land the housing trust had
owned for several years on
Low Road.
A partner family has been
selected and work has begun.
Several crumbling buildings
in town are getting spruced
up. The Sharon Country Inn
not only got new trees and
stone walls; the Cania brothers (who own the inn as well
as Mizzas Pizza in Lakeville)
also purchased the adjacent
property (formerly home of a
video rental store and then the
Northlights Art Center). The

existing building there was torn
down and a new building that
will have guest rooms, a fitness
center and a conference center
should be completed early in
2016.
Builder Rafe Churchill
spruced up the former doctors
office on Route 41 and East
Main Street. Then he took on
the building next door, formerly home to the Sharon Package
Store and Roaring Oaks Florist.
The package store moved to
the former Herringtons location across from the post office
(and Jack Murtagh and Maryann Hale retired from running
the business in September).
Roaring Oaks has reopened in
Lakeville, in the building that
is also home to The Boathouse
restaurant.
North Canaan native and
invasive plant expert Tom
Zetterstrom turned his considerable energy and attention
to trying to stop the scourge
of aggressive non-native invasives in Northwest Corner
fields and forests. He helped
lead a clearing expedition of
the Sharon Land Trusts Mary
Moore Preserve; in the process,
it was discovered that the largest

Cornwall
In towns 275th anniversary year, so much to celebrate

By Karen Bartomioli
CORNWALL If there is one

thing that stood out for Cornwall
in 2015, it would be the towns
275th anniversary.
This is a town that celebrates
such a milestone not with just
one but with a series of events.
It is also a town that celebrates
its past without taking time off
from looking to the future and
remaining vital.
With lots to look back on, the
future seems even more important. The Explore Cornwall events
and other efforts were initiated to
promote economic development
and to market the town as a place
for young families; in a related
move, Cornwall Consolidated
School reorganized to accommodate its dwindling enrollment.
Some encouragement came
when the annual Cornwall
Association Newcomers Tea
brought out 19 new residents
(with possibly more newcomers
who have moved here but didnt
attend the tea).
Also notable in 2015, but less
positive, was the raging fire that
destroyed the lumberyard in
Cornwall Bridge on a cold January night. Employees at the associated hardware store and paint
center worked hard to pick up
the slack, and the center remains
open. The lumberyards future
remains in limbo pending a court
case over insurance coverage.

Group appointed to study

septic system challenges
CORNWALL All nine residents who asked to be included
were appointed to a septic study group at the Dec. 15 meeting of the
Board of Selectmen. They are a diverse group of property owners
from West Cornwall and other parts of town.
There was much debate over the size of the committee, but since
it will not be a voting body, a larger group seemed optimal to be
assured there will be enough members available for the meetings,
which will probably be held over a year or more.
The groups mission is to gather information and work with experts
on the best approach to a solution to the septic system restraints in
the densely settled West Cornwall village.
The plan is for an organizational meeting in January. A chairman and secretary will be elected and a meeting schedule drawn
up. Meetings will be public, with minutes kept and posted online.
Study group members are Josh Tyson, Priscilla Pavel, Todd Piker,
David Dolinsky, Joanne Wojtusiak, Richard Griggs, Jack Preston, Ian
Ingersoll and Libby Mitchell.

its lodge, and officially opened

a new mini lodge for ski students and their families. While a
late onset of cold and snow was
appreciated by some, it led to a
very late opening for ski season.
It was hardly a boring year.
There was plenty of concern,
controversy and contemplation,
as town leaders and residents
dealt with issues such as 240 feet
of concrete sidewalk in the center
of West Cornwall that launched
a vigorous debate over how it
would look in that picturesque

village above the Covered Bridge.
The bigger issue there is
limitations for septic systems
that have stymied commercial
growth. The last big public
meeting of the year was about
potential solutions, from a planning consultant.
A decision by the Zoning
Board of Appeals that promotes
limits on private home rentals
remains a hot issue that will also

Preserving open space, but changing the village Library gets new sign
thats easier to read
KENT The public restrooms (or lack thereof) continued to be a top topic of concern
and conversation in 2015.
There had been public restrooms in the village until 2013,
when a number of commercial
properties were purchased by
Kent Barns LLC. The bathrooms
were closed to the public and a
search for a convenient location
for the conveniences began. The
town was poised to purchase the
former Town and Country Chevrolet lot in the center of town,
but gallery owner Bill Morrison
stepped in and outbid the town.
He plans to build a new
gallery there (he moved out of
his Kent Barns-owned space in
December and is in temporary
quarters on Main Street, across
from the former Chevrolet lot).
He has had outdoor sculptures
on display there and has made
the space available for a weekly
farmers market.
The town eventually purchased land near the railroad
station and a study group is
now putting together plans and
proposals to present to voters
for approval.
The former Kent Apothecary also moved to the railroad
station, and changed its name
to the Kent Station Pharmacy.
The former pharmacy building
at the intersection in the center
of town is now unoccupied but
it is believed that a restaurant
will open there in the coming
months.
Other changes in the culinary
scene this year: So Delicious!
bakery and 109 Cheese Market
opened in summer, and Tea and
Dreams opened in autumn.
The Land Trust
It was a very busy year for the
Kent Land Trust, which not only
helped conserve properties but
also created trails so that Kent
residents can use and enjoy the
protected spaces.
The former Camp Francis is
now known as Kent Hamlet. In
addition to leading hikes there,
the Land Trust teamed up with
the Kent Historical Society,
whose summer exhibit was called
The Camps of Kent: Memories of
Summer. In July, former campers
from Camp Francis came to town
to see the exhibit and also to walk
the trails at the new Hamlet (and
reminisced and sang old camp
songs, of course).
The new Homestead Trail
was also cleared and opened to
the public this year on the 241acre Audrey and Robert Tobin
Preserve.
KENT Its hard to understand how anyone could miss

the Kent Memorial Library,
especially in summer when
there are tables and tables full
of used books for sale in the
lot next to the library building.
But people do seem to have
trouble finding it, even in summer. The library staff began
to wonder if it was time to
upgrade the attractive and venerable but slightly crumbling
sign that had been outside the
library for many years.
The board was asked to approve and fund a replacement
but the funds were not available. Library board member
Sandy Edelman stepped up,
however, and said that she and
her husband, Burton Visotzky,
would provide the money.

Edelman is an intellectual
property attorney and a partner in the New York office of
Dorsey & Whitney LLP. She
is not just on the board of the
Kent Library Association, she
is also its secretary. Visotzky,
is a rabbi and professor at the
Jewish Theological Seminary
in New York City. He is on
the board of Kent Affordable
Housing.
The couple live in New York
City and Kent, where they have
been residents for 20 years.
The new sign was designed
and hung by Michael Stots,
sign maker and owner of
Palindrone Design Company of Clinton Corners, N.Y.

YEAR IN REVIEW 2015

After so many accomplishments, it wasnt a complete
surprise when the trust was honored in November with the 2015
National Land Trust Alliance
Excellence Award. The national
organization that oversees land
trusts cited the Kent group for
its leadership and demonstrated
commitment to community priorities for conservation.
Schaghticokes
The town had what was seen
as a victory over efforts by the
Schaghticokes to earn federal
recognition. In June, the federal
government announced new
standards for tribal recognition
that said that tribes that have
previously been denied federal
recognition can no longer repetition. The Schaghticokes were
granted recognition in 2004 but
it was revoked upon appeal in
2005. The Schaghticoke Tribal
Nation said it would continue
to fight for recognition anyway.
Ice Watch and Bulls Bridge
The beloved Ice Watch fundraiser for the Kent Volunteer
Fire Department returned in
2015 (a good thing, since there
was no shortage of ice during

that winter season). There had
been a yearlong hiatus for the ice
watch, following the death of one
of its organizers, Billy Rundall.
The ice on the Housatonic River melted on March 27. Sophie
Leen of Cape Elizabeth, Maine,
had the correct guess and split
the total pot of $1,790 with the
firefighters.
A bit farther along the river,
Bulls Bridge got a sprucing up
in December. New Enviroshake
roof tiles were put on and some
painting was done on the steel
supports and undercarriage.
The Kent long-term care
facility applied to the state for
permission to close, citing a
declining number of residents as
the reason. But funds were found
to make repairs and upgrades at
Templeton Farms, the towns affordable apartments for retirees.
Another important building
in town that got a sprucing up
was the Historical Societys Seven
Hearths, formerly the residence
of painter George Laurence
Nelson. Work is continuing on
the interior and exterior; the
outside color has been changed

to a darker and more historically
accurate shade. As the work
progresses, long-hidden bits of
the history of the building are
being revealed.
KentPresents
Possibly the story of the
year in Kent, certainly the most
glamorous one, was the first-ever
KentPresents. Former Compaq
Computers head Ben Rosen
and his wife, Donna, organized
70 speakers to come to the Kent
School in August and talk about
topics of urgent interest, on
everything from art to world
affairs to farming. More than 300
people bought the $2,000 tickets
and came to stay for the weekend
of lectures, panels and parties.
The next KentPresents is
already being planned. Funds
raised in 2015 were awarded to
26 organizations in December.

North Canaan
Is this the year for Colonial, Union Station revivals?

By Karen Bartomioli
NORTH CANAAN The

past year has been one of rebuilding for the town in terms of the
economy but also literally, with a
near start to the last phase of the
Canaan Union Station project.
The depot rebuild is probably
the most notable of happenings,
although work to re-open it as a
commercial center and railroad
museum has yet to begin.
Meanwhile efforts at putting
the town on track toward steady
growth got a foothold.
The Economic Development
Commission was re-established
in time to work with a regional
planning consultant on some
exciting initiatives. Among them
is a possible hotel in the town
center, with interest coming from
at least one major chain.
Closer on the horizon is
the re-opening of three major
businesses, in one incarnation
or another.
The historic Colonial Theatre
used to show first-run films; a
live concert last month to benefit the depot project provided a
sneak peek at one of the many
entertainment options that will
be coming there. Already, the
Music Lab, a venue for all things
musical, has opened in one of the
theaters storefronts.
Just across the street, the former Brewer Bros. car dealership
is being renovated into a used car
YEAR IN REVIEW 2015

sales and service business and
custom cabinetry shop.
Canaan Tile and Stone (formerly S.J. Masters) closed in the
summer, but will reopen soon as
a kitchen and bath design and
products center.
In other venues, the farm market moved to a municipal parking
lot and continued to grow.
Installation began on a disc
golf course on the Camp Brook
Greenway.
The selectmen began looking
at plans for an addition to North
Canaan Elementary School to
accommodate a new gymnasium
and new town pool. Plans are
also being made for part of the
35 acres purchased behind the
school. First up are a new soccer
field and room for a new school
playground.
Old and new at Troop B
At Troop B, a new commander
and a re-established dispatch
center were catalysts for sprucing
up the place, with a volunteer
effort by pros and lots of private
donations toward fixing up the
historic neon sign there (which
was reinstalled on Dec. 24).
Two long-time civilian dispatchers the late Catherine
Cappy Tatsapaugh and the
late Brian Johnson were
remembered by their State Po-
lice family with newly planted

trees. Tatsapaugh died in 2013.
Johnson was killed in September
during a domestic shooting in
his North Canaan home. The
dispatch center has been named
in his honor.
The 1846 Gothic revival
Christ Church in the center of
town, designed by Richard Upjohn and built of locally quarried
stone, was put on the market. It
was relinquished two years ago
by its members after a valiant
effort to stay there.
The last half of the year saw
work throughout the town center on cleaning, repairing and relining the sewer mains using the
latest technology: resin sealing.
The Beckley Furnace history site continued to expand
its educational information with videos now
available online for
viewing.
No depot yet
As 2015 rolled
on, years of effort
to reopen the depot seemed to finally be nearing
reality. By early
fall, five general
contractors had
placed bids. All
were above the
grant and federal
appropriation funding left to finish the
job. But that turned out
to be only one problem as
the project fell into another
administrative glitch at the state
Department of Transportation,
which is administering the funding. It remained under review as
the year closed.
In November, municipal
elections offered a race for first
selectman, but voters put the
incumbents back on the board.

It was munch time for cattle at Carlwood Farm recently.
Carlwood Farm:
preserving open
space and agriculture
By Karen Bartomioli
NORTH CANAAN Carlwood Farm, part of the towns

agricultural heritage, will go
on with improvements funded
through the sale of development
rights to the state Department of
Agriculture (DOA) and a third
generation dedicated to dairy
farming.
The 90 acres of gently rolling
hills in the towns northeast corner, on the Massachusetts state
line, will be preserved through
the Farmland Protection Program.
Doug Carlson, who owns
the farm with his wife, Cris, will
be able to retire soon and hand
the reins over to their daughter,
Sandy Boardman.
Its the perfect solution,
Boardman said recently, while
herding a cow about to calve back
to the maternity pen. Dad
wont ever completely retire, and
its so important to him and the
town to keep the farm going.
The couple lives on the farm,
so he will be able to at least keep
an eye on the 72-cow free-stall
barn with milk house, heifer barn
and concrete bunker silo.
The farm is part of the AgriMark dairy cooperative.
Carlson was just 16 when his
dad died, leaving him to take over.
He had already been farming
all his life, so he was able to keep
it all going, Boardman said.
Now 72, he has days when it
is difficult to help milk the herd
of 50 Holsteins, along with the
countless other farm chores.
Dairy farming has long been
a labor of love for small farms
struggling in the face of meager
profits for their milk. Meanwhile,
their land represents much of
the open space that defines this
rural area.
Carlson has spoken for years

about the Catch-22 farmers are
in. Getting out of the business in
recent years has not been much
of an option. Livestock prices
had dropped. A herd would
be sold at a big loss, and likely
land a farmer in debt. Most are
already. The only real option was
to keep farming and look for
other means of income.
Carlwood Farm includes 65
acres of prime and statewide
important soils, as it is described
by the DOA. Proceeds from the
conveyance will be used to make
infrastructure improvements
and buy additional farmland.
Were not interested in milking a thousand cows or anything,
Carlson said in a press release
from the state. We produce
good, clean milk every single day.
I am extremely proud of that. We
just want to keep the farm about
where it is right now.
Carlsons grandfather had
begun farming in town after
emigrating from Sweden in
the early 1900s. His father, also
named Doug, later bought a single acre that eventually became
Carlwood Farm.
It is the sixth North Canaan
farm to be included in the state
program, bringing the total
preserved farmland in town to
721 acres.
NORTH CANAAN The

Douglas Library will be closed
for new carpet installation
from Monday, Jan. 11, through
Monday, Jan. 18. The library
will reopen with regular hours
on Wednesday, Jan. 20.

Falls Village
Strong showing in arts in past year

FALLS VILLAGE It was

largely a quiet and productive
year in Falls Village, with the
Childrens Theater, the Lee
Kellogg School and the Hunt
Library providing arts and entertainment; and with the town
earning a reputation as a place to
come and learn about cars, trains
and transportation.
The Falls Village Childrens
Theater (FVCT) celebrated its
10th anniversary by putting
on an ambitious production of
The Wizard of Oz, which was
the very first production back
in 2006.
President Denise Cohn said
the FVCT has put on 13 major
productions and 30 or so smaller
ones over the last decade.
There was a lot of flying in the
auditorium at Housatonic Valley
Regional High School over the
performance weekend, in March.
There were monkeys, witches
(good and bad) and crabby ladies
with bicycles, all swooping and
gliding through the air.
As student populations drop
throughout the region, some
towns have held events to show
off their many attractions.
The Lee. H. Kellogg School
(LHK) held an expo in April,
to show how the school offers
a unique educational opportunity for elementary and middle
school students.
The school is small, with 74
students in kindergarten through
grade eight. The school employs
13 teachers, six of whom are
full-time.
We feel very strongly that we
have something special here and
we decided to articulate that,
said Principal Jennifer Law.
Part of the incentive for
doing so is to try and attract tuition students. Kelloggs student
population is shrinking, and
projections are not encouraging.
However, the small size allows
teachers to offer uncommon
levels of individual instruction,
and Kellogg students generally
do extremely well at Housatonic
Valley Regional High School.
An anomaly in the otherwise
peaceful town and school was a
theft and fire in May. In a case of
adding insult to injury, 10 iPads
and one MacBook Pro computer
were reported stolen to the State
Police by Principal Law on May
13. Also missing was about $250
in cash.
There had been a fire at the
school on May 7 that was confined to one room but that caused
significant smoke damage. The
police theorized that the thefts
were connected to the fire, even
though there was a week between
the incident and the reporting
of the theft.
All in all, voters continued to
be supportive of both the towns
elementary school and the re-
gional high school (Housatonic

Valley Regional, which is in Falls
Village).
Voters unanimously approved the budget proposals of
the Board of Selectmen and the
Board of Education.The 2015-16
municipal budget is $1,865,711.
The budget for the Lee H. Kellogg
School is $1,876,141. The towns
share of the Region One budget,
which passed at referendum May
5, is $1,077,570. The mill rate
increased by .75 mills to 23.5
mills for 2015-16.
The mill rate determines
property taxes in Connecticut
towns. A mill represents $1 in
tax for every $1,000 of assessed
property value. A 15-mill tax rate
would translate into a tax bill of
$1,500 for the owner of a home
assessed at $100,000.
Trains, cars, trucks
The Falls Village Car and Motorcycle show in July continued
to grow in popularity, with 287
registered vehicles (and about 50
unregistered). They converged
on the downtown area of town,
along with many visitors, including a number who were drawn
by the presence of the First Lady
of Drag Racing, Shirley Cha
ChaMuldowney, who cheerfully
signed T-shirts and posters at
Jacobs Garage.
Cars were everywhere on
Main Street up to Route 7, up
Prospect and along both ends
of Railroad Street.
The center of town was the site
of much excitement through the
year. In addition to the car show
(and other assorted ceremonies
such as Memorial Day and the
lighting of the holiday tree), the
streetscape project brought new
sidewalks that inspired plenty
of admiring oohs from visitors.
The center of town is also
notable for the old railroad car
parked near the old train tracks.
Here and throughout the region,
trains and their history continues
to fascinate.
Retired railroad man Peter
McLachlan contributed to the
general font of knowledge when
he gave a talk at the Center on
Main with tales of the days of
passenger rail in September.
He had been invited as part of
the Falls Village-Canaan Historical Societys Tuesdays at Seven
lecture series. Traditionally those
summertime talks are held at the
South Canaan Meetinghouse,
but because of renovation work,
the talks were moved to the Center on Main.
McLachlan talked about the
past as well as the future but
he was not encouraging about the
prospect of passenger trains returning to the Northwest Corner.
Its never going to happen,
he said.
As for the work at the South
Canaan Meeting House, that was
completed this fall. The town and
the Historical Society received

BIRDS
Continued from Page A1
friend, I was able to locate the
bird among a gaggle of gazers a
short distance from the refuge,
perched on a tree overlooking a
farm field. Life bird for me
the first I have ever seen.
Only two weekends earlier, I
had made a similar trip to Brooklyns Prospect Park to see what
may be the ultimate celebrity
bird: a male painted bunting that
has leisurely lingered in the park
since the beginning of December.
Talk about a stunner! This is a
rainbow bird, with plumage of
lime green, yellow, purple and
red. This wanderer from the
Deep South feeds obligingly in
full view of gawking multitudes,
astride one of the parks many
footpaths.
The inevitable questions that
occur are: How did these birds get
here? What will happen to them?
Unfortunately, its hard to know
for sure, but its difficult to rule

out climate changeor at least
the incredibly un-winter we have
had so far.
Birds do get lost or carried
off by weather systems far more
than most people realize; the
search for rarities (also known
as accidentals or vagrants)
keeps a lot of birders on their
toes. The warmer temperatures
may make it far easier for these
birds to wander farther north and
east, and stay longer, than would
otherwise be possible.
As to what will happen, the
possibilities include birds staying long-term, as long as food
is plentiful; birds finding their
way back to their normal home
ranges; and birds perishing, if
the weather turns harsh, or at
the hands (claws) of predators.
What will 2016 bring? Stay
tuned!
FALLS VILLAGE A
group of 21 recent graduates returned to Housatonic
Valley Regional High School
(HVRHS) on Tuesday, Dec.
22, to tell current seniors
about their experiences in
their first semester of college.
All the graduates were from
the class of 2015, except Erik
Gabrielson, from the class
of 2014.
Gabrielsons contribution
was to explain why he transferred after one year at Central
Connecticut State University
(CCSU) to Salve Regina in
Rhode Island.
He said CCSU was just too
big at 12,000-plus students.
It was a big culture shock.
I was in lectures with 350
people.
He said Salve Regina, at
about 2,500 students, was a
better fit.
Guidance Counselor Sharon Veatch asked the collegians what they wished they
had known before they arrived
at their schools.
Gabrielson said, That I
would have four roommates.
Several said they quickly
learned to take advantage of
professors office hours.
The importance of time
management was another
common theme. Eric Chin
(Harvard) said his schedule
had an hour between classes,
which wasnt enough time
to do anything, and advised
scheduling classes back-toback.
Emily Sullivan (Emmanuel College) said she decided
to take five courses her first
The Falls Village Childrens Theater marked its 10th anniversary with a production of The Wizard of Oz, which was
the first show in the groups history. Molly Menninges played
Glinda, the Good Witch, shown here rescuing Dorothy, Toto
and the Cowardly Lion from the stupefying effect of the
Wicked Witchs poppy field
Region One budget planning begins Jan. 13

FALLS VILLAGE At its Jan. 4 meeting,
the Region One Board of Education set dates
for budget workshops as follows: Wednesday,
Jan. 13, 6:30 p.m.; Thursday, Jan. 21, 6:30 p.m;
Wednesday, Jan. 27, 6:30 p.m.
Budget work will also be done at the boards
next regular meeting Monday, Feb. 1.
The public hearing is scheduled for Wednesday, April 6, 6:30 p.m.
Overall, HVRHS prepared

students well for college
a $200,000 state grant to repair

and waterproof the steeple, install new windows and upgrade
the bathroom of the venerable
building.
In September, the selectmen
took a decisive step forward on
the building of the long-awaited
emergency services center on
Route 7.
The board approved a
$2,477,000 bid from Millennium
Builders, which was the lowest of
five bids received.
On Dec. 3, 2013, the town had
approved a $2.3 million bond in
a referendum vote. A previous
referendum for $2.5 million had
failed in 2011.
The town does have a state
grant of $200,000 for foundation
work for the new center.
And this year, Falls Village
hosted a truck pull as part of the
Fall Festival in October.
About a thousand people
came to the town pool grounds
for the contest of rolling steel,
with benefits going to the fire
company.
FALLS VILLAGE The

Artwall of the David M. Hunt
Library opens the 2016 schedule
of exhibits with Taking Flight:
New Paintings by John Hodgson. A reception for the artist
will take place on Saturday, Jan.
16, from 4 to 6 p.m. This event
is free and open to the public.
Refreshments will be served. For
more information, go to www.
huntlibrary.org.
Hodgson, a Falls Village resident, makes art in a New York
City studio with his teacher, Baris
Gokturk.
Taking Flight is a series he
has been working on since the
summer of 2015 when his fellow
art students at JCC Manhattan
worked on a group exhibit at the
Hunt Library.
To learn more about Hodgson
and view his work, go to www.

In all, there were about 60

competing pullers and a dozen
exhibition pullers (such as the
tractors that opened the show).
The event lasted until dark,
and pullers came from New
York, Massachusetts, Vermont,
Rhode Island, Maryland and
Connecticut.
semester, instead of the recommended four.

I wish I had listened, she
said, adding that she wound
up withdrawing from two
classes.
Elizabeth Riccardelli (Savannah College of Art and
Design) said her big mistake
was not visiting the school and
the city beforehand.I got lost
and wound up on some pretty
scary streets.
The students were generally positive on the question of
how well HVRHS prepared
them for college. Shelby
Macchi (Western Connecticut State University) said the
study techniques she learned
in high school helped in
college.
Riccardelli agreed. Meeting deadlines [at HVRHS]
helped. Art homework is
creative but it still has to be
on time.
Gabrielson said he was
ready for tasks such as a 15page research paper.
Sullivan said a significant amount of her academic work is self-guided.
What is covered in class
wont cut it.
Several students said they
had taken on extra-curricular
activities Ultimate Frisbee,
the American Metereological Society, the Nashville
Songwriters Association International (this from Lydia
MacDavid, who is attending
Middle Tennessee State University).
The athletes among the
group said that practices are
frequent and that they have to
make an extra effort to keep up
with their schoolwork.

Lee Tinker (McCabe) Whittier

SALISBURY Lee (McCabe)
Whittier of Falmouth, Maine,
was suddenly called
home to her God on
Dec. 18, 2015. As the
shock of her passing
subsides, her family
and friends know
that she is now at
peace and sharing
in Gods warm embrace.
Tinker, as she
was fondly called
by those who knew
and loved her, meant so much
to so many. Sister. Wife. Mother.
Grandmother. Aunt. Dear friend.
We will miss you, Tinker,
beloved daughter of Mary Lee
and Frank McCabe of Albany,
N.Y. Your lifelong friends from
Manhattanville College will miss
you too. We are all so thankful for
the time that we were privileged
to share with you. You taught us
much. From your early years as an
art teacher at the Albany Academy
for Girls, to those gentle reminders to your sons and grandkids to
keep up with their drawing, letter
writing, painting, reading your
passion for all things creative was
contagious.
As a board member of Mount
Riga, your beloved summer home
in Connecticut, you taught us that
natural places where connections between family and nature
are strong must be protected
and require our energy and time.
As an advocate for mental health
programs and understanding,
you taught us to always have
compassion and respect for those
who battle illness and addiction.
Tinker, your caring spirit has

been a guiding force for many.
Like Jesus, you too
showed us that
putting the needs
of others ahead
of your own, does
indeed lead to a
life well lived. You
showed us that forgiving is not hard.
You showed us that
there is nothing
more important
than loving unconditionally your family,
friends and strangers.
Visiting hours will be held Jan.
14, from 5 to 8 p.m. at the Lindquist Funeral Home in Yarmouth,
Maine. A Mass to celebrate Tinkers 82 years will be held at 10 a.m.
on Jan. 15 at Sacred Heart Church
in Yarmouth. The church service
will be followed by a gathering for
all at the Portland Country Club
in Falmouth.
In lieu of flowers, her husband,
Charles, sons Frank, Stephen
and Michael, daughters-in-law
Jennifer, Libby and Stacy, grandchildren Maddie, Cooper, Stuart,
Mamie, Kate, Charlotte and
Gabriella, and her sister, Martha
McCabe, ask for your support

Woody Hochswender
SHARON William Joseph
Hochswender III, known to
everyone as Woody,
died Dec. 31, 2015,
at his home in Sharon. He was 64.
Born in Brooklyn, N.Y., on June
20, 1951, he was
the son of the late
Roslyn (McCarthy)
and William Joseph
Hochswender II.
The family moved
to Sea Cliff on Long
Island when he was
a boy and he attended Sea Cliff schools and
North Shore High School, where
he earned many academic and
athletic honors.
Woody attended Colgate
University in Hamilton, N.Y.,
and was a member of the Delta
Kappa Epsilon fraternity. It was
an all-male school at that time;
he also attended the all-womens
Skidmore College in Saratoga
Springs, N.Y., as an exchange
student for one semester.
After graduation, he had a
number of odd and colorful
jobs. He liked to tell stories about
working at UPS and about selling
yo-yos on the steps of Lincoln
Center. At one point he ran
the bicycle rental concession in
Central Park. He was a model
for a while, and was in magazine
photo shoots and runway fashion shows, hired by the woman
who would be one of the biggest
professional influences in his life,
Kezia Keeble.
Kezia introduced Woody to
Nichiren Buddhism, a practice
to which he remained faithful
for the rest of his life; and she
encouraged him to follow his
dream of becoming a professional writer and working in the
publishing industry.
It was his buddhist chanting
and Kezias mentoring that led
him to his first job as a book
jacket copy writer for Avon
Books, which was owned by the
Hearst Corporation. For most
of his career, Woody worked for
Hearst, first at Avon, then at the
Los Angeles Herald Examiner
(where he worked for the legendary editor Jim Bellows) and
then at Harpers Bazaar, where
he was a features editor.
Thanks in part to his training
as a book jacket editor, Woody
became a master at writing pithy,
witty sentences. In his writing,
he never wasted words.
He was also a particularly
fine editor who could gracefully
and skillfully reshape his writers
words (although only when
necessary). He was also exceptionally compassionate toward
and considerate of his writers.
He was hired away from
Bazaar to become a fashion reporter for The New York Times.
In addition to traveling to Paris,
London, Milan and other major
cities in Europe, Asia and the
United States to cover runway
shows, he wrote a weekly column
for The Times called Patterns,
which covered the business of
Seventh Avenue (as the fashion
industry is known).
As a New York Times fashion
journalist, he was courted by
the wealthy, the powerful and
the beautiful, but he always remained true to who he was. In
part because of this, there was an
honesty, simplicity and purity to
his writing that made his work
exceptional.
Throughout his career, many
editors tried to hire him away;
eventually he left The Times to
join his friend Terry McDonnell
at Esquire (another Hearst publication). In addition to writing
about menswear and mens style,
and editing a special publication
called Esquire Gentleman, he
wrote a column for Esquires
sister publication, Harpers Bazaar, called Pins and Needles. He
remained at Esquire after Terry
left, working under another legendary editor, Ed Kosner. When
Kosner left, Woody left, too.
Around that time, his father
was badly injured in a boating
accident at his summer home on
Block Island, R.I. While his two
broken legs were being treated,
it was discovered that Bill also
had a cancer that had spread
throughout most of his body.

Woody was living part-time
in Sharon at that
time; his father
also had a Sharon
residence. Woody
nursed his father
through his illness
and wrote from
home until his fathers death.
Woody meanwhile had discovered that he liked
working from
home and that in
many ways it was
easier to write when he could
spend part of the day puttering
around the house and playing
with his golden retriever, Lola,
before sitting down to type. He
loved the Northwest Corners
country roads and expansive
views, and the many lakes and
ponds. He loved to swim and
even though he preferred the
ocean beaches from his Long
Island youth, he was always
happy to be swimming outdoors
at Mudge Pond and indoors at
The Hotchkiss School.
While living in Sharon, he
was a freelance writer for many
publications, including The
New York Times, the Chicago
Tribune and Sports Illustrateds
Golf magazine.
He wrote two books on
Nichiren Buddhism: The Buddha in Your Mirror and The
Buddha in Your Rearview Mirror. At the time of his death, he
was working on a book about
Buddhism for teens.
While he was working at
home, he was able to spend time
after school every day with his
beloved daughter, Kate. From
time to time he would work as
a substitute teacher in Region
One schools, which he enjoyed
because it allowed him to sometimes spend the day at Sharon
Center School with Kate. He also
taught for a year at the private
Salisbury School.
In between teaching, writing,
swimming, playing with his dog
and making soup for Kate, he
also found time for several years
in a row to appear as a member
of the chorus in Gilbert and Sullivan productions with the Light
Opera Company of Salisbury, an
experience he loved.
In February 2015, he was
diagnosed with a glioblastoma
in the right frontal lobe of his
brain. It was removed successfully, and he spent the remainder
of the year traveling across the
country with his girlfriend,
Kirsten Jensen.
Woody is survived by his
daughter, Katharine Hochswender of Lakeville; his former
wife, Cynthia Hochswender of
Lakeville; his sister, Pat Leri and
her husband, Ron, of Hunter,
N.Y.; his niece, Alessandra Leri
and her husband, Louis-Pierre
Arguin, and their daughter,
Mariette Leri Arguin, of New
York City; his nephew, Matthew
Leri and his wife, Julie, of Salt
Lake City, Utah; his girlfriend,
Kirsten Jensen of Doylestown,
Pa.; and countless loyal friends,
many of whom he had known
for decades.
Burial will be private. A
memorial service will be held
on Sunday, Jan. 17, at 1 p.m. at
the Grove building at Lakevilles
Lake Wononscopomuc.

Eleanor (Lesak) Walley

SHARON Eleanor (Lesak)
Walley, 83, of Sharon died Dec.
23, 2015, in Okeechobee, Fla.
El, as she was known, was
born on Oct. 9, 1932. After enjoying the quiet rolling hills of
the Berkshire Mountains and
Silver Lake Shores in Sharon
for more than 40 years with her
loving husband of 58 years, Dan
Poppa Walley, she recently
soaked in the sun while spending
time with her family and newfound friends at Grand Oaks
and Okeechobee Health Care
Facilities in Okeechobee.
El had an enduring sense of
humor and was welcoming and
generous to everyone she met.
She loved to play cards and cook
for her grandchildren, especially
her famous pierogi and Hungarian cookies.
El is survived by her sister,
Jane Gamble; by the children of
Jane and her late husband, Don,
including Donna (who recently
cared for El in Florida), Kathy,
Jean and Butch; her sisters-inlaw, Helen Christie and Madge

Patricia (Bernitt) Murtagh
MILLERTON Patricia
(Bernitt) Murtagh, 71, died at
Hartford Hospital on Dec. 27,
2015. She was born on Dec. 6,
1944, in Yonkers, N.Y. Her family
later moved to Millerton. She
attended Webutuck High School.
Pat worked at Sharon Hospital
for 43 years as director of Medical
Records, retiring in 2005. She
went on to consult with hospitals
across the country, completing
her last and most challenging
contract in August 2015.
On Mothers Day 1990, Pat
received a liver transplant. This
miracle gifted her with 25 additional years of wonderful life.
Pat is survived by Tony Gentile, her life partner of 35 years;
her sons, Brian of Sharon and
Scott of Torrington; her sister,

Dorothy Cameron of North
Canaan; the two jewels in her

Sharon has charge of arrangements.
Louise (Edwards) Tyndall

FALLS VILLAGE Louise
(Edwards) Tyndall died peacefully in the early morning hours of
Dec. 6, 2015, at Noble Horizons
after a long series of illnesses.
After growing up mostly in
South Carolina, Louise attended
Duke University as a National
Merit Scholar. There she met her
future husband, upperclassman
Albert Tyndall, and left school to
marry him in the spring of 1958.
The couple lived in several
homes in the New York City area
before settling in the Northwest
Corner in 1979.
They kept an apartment in
Manhattan until Louise retired
from her work as a legal secretary
and paralegal, and her vocation
as an opera singer.
She and Al traveled widely
over the years. She once said
she had the same picture of him
standing in a bathing suit,
thigh-deep in salt water, smiling
at her in every ocean and most
of the seas in the world. Some of
those travels were trips she won
on game shows in the early years
of their marriage.
She also enjoyed cooking for
guests, watching tennis matches
and talking with almost anyone
about almost anything.
She remained active and
fiercely independent throughout
her life, even after retirement,
widowhood, various illnesses and
even the loss of her youngest son.
She was appointed and later
elected the Republican registrar
of voters for Falls Village, and

thrived in the collegial atmosphere of Town Hall.
She continued to tend her garden even when she was no longer
able to walk through it, sitting in
her porch chair and orchestrating
family members in their efforts to
keep everything growing just so.
And she doted upon her cats,
most recently the overweight,
unflappable Miss Gray. It is no
wonder, or accident, that the
sign on the path to that porch
read Tyndall Family Wildlife
Preserve, Gardens, Residence.
She was the widow of Albert
Forbes Tyndall Jr., her husband of
48 years. She was also predeceased
by a son, Mark Whitney Tyndall.
She is now with them again, and
all three are happier for it.
She is survived by a son,
David Tyndall of St. Louis, Mo.;
a daughter, Leigh Westberg of
Fairfield, Conn.; six grandchildren; two great-grandchildren;
and numerous friends, who made
her final days more pleasant than
they will ever know. Her ashes will
be interred with those of her husband and son in Falls Village in
the springtime, when the flowers
should be starting to bloom in
her beloved garden once more.
In lieu of even more flowers,
contributions may be made to the
David M. Hunt Library in Falls
Village, an institution which provided Louises entire family with
much enjoyment and kindness
over the years.
LAKEVILLE Albert Coy

Sly died on Christmas Eve, Dec.
24, 2015, at Noble Horizons at
the age of 92.
He was born Oct. 6, 1923, in
Flushing, N.Y., son of the late
Alberta (Coy) and Frederick Sly.
Mr. Sly began his musical
studies at an early age, studying
piano under Janet Niles and Luis
Harold Sanford. He attended the
High School of Music and Art in
New York City after graduation in
1942. He entered the Yale School
of Music but his studies were interrupted by World War II, when
he was drafted into the US Army
in 1943. He served as assistant to
the division chaplain of the 42nd
Infantry Division in the European
Theater until his discharge in 1946.
He returned to Yale after the
war and received a BMus in 1948
and a MMus in 1949. He did graduate study in musicology at New
York University, Harvard and the
University of Michigan. He studied organ under Luther Noss at
Yale, Marilyn Mason in Michigan
and Marcel Dupre in Paris.
He was organist/choirmaster
at Trinity Episcopal Church in
Ossining, N.Y., from 1949 to
1950. In 1950 he was appointed
to the faculty of The Hotchkiss
School in Lakeville as organist
and choral director. He also
taught music history and theory
and supervised a dormitory. He
resigned in 1970 and began a long
association as minister of music
at the Congregational Church of
Salisbury, a position he would hold
for 45 years until his retirement
on December 31, 2014. He also
taught music appreciation and
theory at the Torrington branch
of the University of Connecticut
from 1973 to 1987.
In 1970, Sly was among a group
that formed the Berkshire Hills
Music and Dance Association, a
concert-presenting organization.
He served as president from 1981
to 1997, when it ceased to function.
He also served on the Board of
Managers of Music Mountain,
Inc. He was a co-founder and
dean of the Housatonic Chapter of

the American Guild of Organists
(AGO). After the group dissolved,
he joined the Berkshire chapter
of AGO.
Mr.Sly composed several works
for male voices while at Hotchkiss,
including arrangements of popular songs for the schools Blue
Notes, the score for the drama
club 1954 production of Merry
Mountand arrangements for the
Colgate 13 of Colgate University
and the Bruinaires of Brown University. He composed choral music
for the Salisbury Congregational
Choir. He also gave organ recitals
in Providence, R.I., the Madison
Avenue Presbyterian Church in
New York City, Riverside Presbyterian in Jacksonville, Fla., and in
Port St. Lucie, Fla., as well as in
Connecticut.
Mr. Sly was a member of
St. Johns Church from 1942 to
2002, serving on the vestry and
as senior warden. He joined the
Salisbury Congregational Church
as a member in 2002.
He was married to Elizabeth
Taber of Wallingford, Conn.,
from 1963 until her death in 2007.
Together, they raised many types
of animals, including six litters
of dogs (collies, Great Danes and
English springer spaniels) as well
as horses and sheep.
Their son, Frederick Herschel,
died in infancy. Mr. Sly was also
predeceased by his brother, John
E. Sly.
He is survived by his nephews,
Jack of Carnation, Wash., and
Warren of Bellevue, Wash.
A celebration of Mr. Slys life
will be held on Saturday, Jan. 30,

A slow start for

Housy hockey
By Will Burchfield
LAKEVILLE Less than a

minute into the 2015-16 season,
the Housatonic Valley Regional
High School (HVRHS) hockey
team found itself down by a
goal. The early slip-up portended
a night of frustration for the
Mountaineers, who lost their
season-opener to Byram Hills
on Monday, Dec. 21, by a score
of 4-1.
Housy played from behind
for all but the games first 40
seconds, slowly digging a hole
too large to climb out of. Midway
through the second period, after
the Byram Hills Bobcats captain
tucked in his second goal of the
night, the deficit had climbed to
four for the Mountaineers.
The opening-night jitters
seemed to hinder Housy from the
outset, the players gripping their
sticks too tight as a sizeable crowd
watched on in coiled excitement.
They gradually came into their
own as play wore on, but the slow
start doomed the Mountaineers.
Were a young team so there
was lots of nervous energy
tonight, said coach Dean Diamond after the loss. Once we
went down 2-0, we kind of went
into panic mode. Well learn to
respond better to adversity as the
season goes on.
Finn Bambery scored the lone
goal for Housy with a little over
10 minutes remaining, streaking
down the right wing boards,
beating his defender to the outside and then slipping the puck
inside the far post with a wraparound move. It was a flash of
talent that underlines the teams
potential and the importance of

playing without reservation.
I thought we jelled more and
made some good plays once we
loosened up, Diamond said. I
just wish we had entered that
mode sooner.
Freshman Matt Murray made
his goaltending debut for the
Mountaineers, putting forth a
valiant effort in front of a persistent Byram Hills offense. Like
his teammates, Murray seemed
to gain more confidence as the
game progressed, shutting the
Bobcats out for the final period
and a half.
He was a little bit nervous,
Diamond said of his rookie netminder, but I thought he held
his own. He played really well
late in the game.
At the other end of the ice,
Housy struggled to mount consistent pressure against a Byram
Hills team playing its seventh
game of the season. That experience gap was evident from the
start, the Bobcats looking like a
confident group attuned to its
own strengths and weaknesses.
The Mountaineers, on the
other hand, have much learning
and self-evaluation yet to do, a
process that will be manifested in
the teams collective identity. Early-season losses are affordable, so
long as they reveal and beget
continued improvement.
Last season, Diamond noted,
Housy lost three of its first four
games, but rallied to post a 135-2 record.
Were the Mountaineers disappointed, then, after their season-opening loss Monday night?
Of course. Discouraged? Hardly.

The Housatonic Valley Regional High School varsity hockey

team played the Housy alumni at The Hotchkiss School on
Jan. 2. The game was in honor of the late James Habacker.
In appreciation: James Habacker

The Habacker family would
like to thank HVRHS and the varsity hockey team for hosting their
alumni game at The Hotchkiss
School rink in honor of James
Habacker.
James passed away on July 27,
2015, at the age of 27. He was captain of the 2006 varsity team. He
was a scholar athlete throughout
high school. He was also captain
of the football and baseball teams.
It brought great joy, in this
time of deep sorrow, to see his
brother Jo (a four-year player)

and his brother Jon (captain in
2008) participate.
The number 3 was retired in
honor of Jimmy. We thank The
Hotchkiss School and the mens
league as well. James was a mentor
in hockey and nothing short of a
kindhearted soul to all.
Rest in peace, Jimmy.
Love, Mom and Dad

Making this
rural area work
LIME ROCK Mr. Hurlburt

and a party of men have returned
and are sawing timber.
t can be difficult for small towns to find ways to take on

big projects. There is not a lot of money to go around,
no matter how efficiently run a town government may
be. But certain needs of the population must be met, as well
as providing some extra amenities that will make a place a
welcoming destination and a better place in which to live.
Northwest Corner towns have done generally well this
past year finding ways to do this. Some of the initiatives
are decidedly grassroots, while others have taken long-term
planning and creative paths to government funding. Salisbury and Sharon have been working on a new transfer station for years, but now the planning is finally leading to the
final stages. While some residents have objected to the $3.72
million proposed price tag, and tried to find less expensive
alternatives, the committee that has been working on this
proposal for more than three years following the purchase of
property for the relocation has put it forward to the towns
selectmen to evaluate. So these towns are another step closer
to a new shared transfer station, which is now on the way
to completion. They found a way to cooperate at a time in
which it is more difficult to do that than when they first
agreed to join together to mitigate their trash.
Lets leave the evaluation of the Amesville bridge until
spring, shall we? Thats when it should finally be passable, to
the relief of residents and businesses throughout the area.
Lakeville has a committed group of residents and merchants in the Lakeville Community Conservancy, and its
members are working to find numerous ways to create newly
landscaped spaces in their town center and make it more
welcoming to pedestrians. Their plans will surely improve
their town, and it is good that it is coming from those who
know the town best, and only want to make it better.
For Cornwall and Kent, there are initiatives to take care of
some basic needs with very necessary solutions: West Cornwall is assessing its handlling of sewage and Kent is looking
to provide public restrooms for its many downtown visitors.
Falls Village has had a year of its great new sidewalks, providing excellent walking paths for visitors to its downtown.
They have been and will continue to work on the plans for a
much-needed new firehouse.
North Canaan seemed to be on the home stretch to completing the Canaan Union Station, a critical step to a revitalization of its downtown, when bids on the final stage came
in too high for the budget. But this is a town that will always
find a way, and they are already working on modifying their
plans so they can still move forward.
It takes courage and vision to take on all these challenges,
and that is what we wish for our community leaders as they
look forward to 2016. Thanks to all of them for the hard
work, time and energy they put in to try to make their region
better every year.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Alternate plan for transfer station viable
As many of you may know, the towns of Sharon
and Salisbury are in the process of designing a new
transfer station at a total construction cost of $3.75
million. I question whether or not this is a good
idea for the town of Sharon and have presented
an alternate design that would be significantly
less expensive.
The plan I presented is different from the
high-priced one done by Anchor Engineering in
that the public parking and access to waste and
recycling containers is indoors and out of the
weather, commercial access is separate and around
the outside perimeter, and we will require minimal
water treatment, since rain and snow will not get
into the containers.
The Building Committee at their Dec. 16 meeting read the engineers comments to our alternate
design, but would not allow me to respond. This
letter is in response to that report.
Anchor Engineering noted that the access drive
needed to be 10 feet wider because of the parking
layout that called for 90 degree angle parking. With
a very simple modification to 45 degree angles and
a small increase of one foot in the width of the drive
If two wrongs dont

Calling all Salisbury Republicans to volunteer

The Salisbury Republican Party needs a few of its
party faithful to step up to the plate and volunteer
to be part of the Republican Town Committee.
The Town Committee is the driving force behind
finding, supporting and electing Republicans for
local, state and federal office. It is also our local
voice on party issues at the state and national levels.
Without a working local committee, Republicans in Salisbury will not be heard at any level.
On Monday, Jan. 11, at 6:30 p.m., there will
be a caucus to select Salisbury Republican Town

Committee members for the next two years. You
need only be a registered Salisbury Republican to
participate.
Please join us and become part of the leadership
which makes the Republican Party work.

aisle, in compliance with current DOT standards,

we can still have the 17 inside parking spaces.
Anchor noted a lack of commercial access, and
yet it was explained over and over to the Building
Committee at the special Dec. 8 meeting that
commercial access was around the outside perimeter and separate from the public, as shown
in my submitted plan and as noted in the Dec.
10 article by Ruth Epstein in the Waterbury Republican-American. Apparently she was listening.
Most of Anchors remarks are quite frankly
nit-picking about simple items that can easily be
adjusted. Every one of them can be addressed without any substantial changes in the building size or
cost. In their last paragraph, Anchor Engineering
points out that our alternate plan provides 19,876
square feet of enclosure for $300,000, while their
plan provides 11,800 square feet of open canopy
for $350,000. We are providing 8,000 additional
square feet with indoor parking for $50,000 less.
Why would we pay $50,000 more to park outside
in the weather?

Country Bistro is alive and well

Mark Twain famously said in May of 1897, The report of
my death was an exaggeration. Country Bistro says that The
Lakeville Journal headline, Bistro closing leaves a void, was
misleading, and thats worse than an exaggeration.
The restaurant known as Pastorale closed. Country Bistro
on Academy Street in Salisbury, the only restaurant around
here commonly known as the Bistro, is open seven days per
week for breakfast and lunch just as it has been for more than
8 1/2 years.
We are also open for dinner Friday, Saturday and Sunday and
brunch on Sunday as we have been for more than five years.
We hope and trust that The Lakeville Journal will take
appropriate steps to undo the damage they have done to our
small family-owned business at a very difficult time of year.
Thank you.

Make America great, like it was when?
he holiday season is a time

for nostalgia. We watch
Its a Wonderful Life
and A Christmas Story, engage
in time-honored traditions, and
even sing songs about sleighs and
sleigh bells.
Honestly, when was the last
time you rode in a sleigh?
Ive eaten a roasted chestnut
(purchased on the streets of
Chicago, so I dont know if there
was an open fire involved in the
roasting process), but I havent
gone for a single sleigh ride in
my whole life.
Donald Trumps campaign
slogan Make America Great
Again plays on this idea of
some imagined time in the past
when things were better, simpler,
than they are now. But The Donald isnt the only one who evokes
this mythical past.
On the other side of the aisle,
Democrats often wax poetic
about the strong middle class of
the era that followed World War
II, or about the social safety net
President Franklin Delano Roosevelt put in place before that.
And its true: America did accomplish great things in the past.
But I fundamentally disagree that
our better days are behind us.
This notion of a lost Norman
Rockwell America is an illusion.
Its easy to buy into this trope
if youre an older white man,
because perhaps those really
OTHER WORDS
JILL RICHARDSON
were your good old days. The
post-war years in which America had a strong middle class
were the days of a strong white
middle class.
If youre African American,
looking back to the 1950s means
looking back to the days of
lynching, Jim Crow, and legalized
discrimination. How can that
inspire nostalgia?
In the South before the Civil
Rights movement, it was open
season on African Americans,
with white terrorists lynching
whomever they chose with impunity. And to secure the white
racist vote for his New Deal
programs, FDR excluded farm
workers and domestic workers from basic wage and work
protections. Back then, those
segments of the labor force were
largely black.
There were problems in the
North too. Housing discrimination against blacks was federal policy not just a simple,
organic process of white flight.
Policies like redlining systematically denied African Americans
wealth, which still harms their
families and communities today.
Nor was life peachy for women in this time.

This was the era that spurred
the feminist Betty Friedan to
write about the problem that
has no name. She torpedoed the
presumption that all American
women ought to rejoice that their
roles as cooks, house cleaners,
and baby machines were now
made easier with modern conveniences.
No doubt modern women
are grateful theyre no longer
expected to greet their husbands
with a warm meal, a cocktail,
and a come-hither look when
they come home from a long
day of work.
Trumps Make America
Great Again sloganeering
combined with his anti-Muslim,
anti-black and anti-Mexican
rhetoric makes it apparent
that he and his followers dont see
the ugly parts of our nations past
as problematic. But its wrong to

whitewash history.
Surely, America isnt perfect
today. We havent solved our
problems with racism (Donald
Trump is Exhibit A) and women
still earn less than men. Weve
also got the specters of mass
shootings, terrorism, and the
climate crisis to boot.
Yet the answer to our troubles
isnt returning to an imagined,
better past. Its finding our way
to a more perfect future. As Bill
Clinton said two decades ago,
There is nothing wrong with
America that cannot be cured
by what is right with America.

great!

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
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 pres-

idency, to the undistinguished
senator from Ohio, who had
postponed his arrival at the
convention to call on his 23-yearold 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.

whole life. After finishing my
bachelors degree in Therapeutic Recreation I was hired
by Sharon Health Care Center. I
moved back in with my parents,
who were welcoming, but it is
hard to live at home when you
are trying to establish your own
sense of independence. With the
starting pay I was receiving, as
well as paying off student loans,
I was unable to afford to move
out on my own.
After receiving a promotion
and raise at my job, I looked
into housing in the area to see
what I could find. Needless to
say, I am still living at home with
my parents and still hunting for
affordable housing. I do not want
to have to depend on finding a
roommate, but living on my own
in this area is not very realistic.
I love this area, and would like
to stay here since I have a great
job and enjoy my short commute

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

The 9/11 Capital Prosecution at Guantanamo
Reflections on my week at the war court

Part 2 of 2
Last time (12/24/15), Church
described how fragile attorney-client relationships are at the military commissions, even after great
effort has been put into nurturing
a feeling of trust. Now he tells
how, despite those efforts, external
events may destroy that trust.
espite the efforts by the

attorneys to create trust
between the accused
and themselves, external events
threaten that trust at every turn.
CIA listening devices disguised
as smoke alarms were discovered
in the conference room where
lawyers confer with their clients.
The CIA secretly was monitoring
all proceedings until Judge Pohl
ordered its connection dismantled. A former CIA translator at a
black site somehow was appointed as the personal interpreter
for a 9/11 defendant. FBI agents
infiltrated another defense team
in the 9/11 case, to interrogate
members and then force them to
sign non-disclosure agreements
to cover up the stunning intrusions. Then the tribunal shut
down all hearings for more than
18 months, so the consequences
of the FBIs invasions might be
sorted out.

FIELD NOTES
FROM A
BATTLEGROUND
CHARLES R. CHURCH
In sum, life at the war

measure.
compounds the difficulty. Solitary confinement, standing
alone, is no picnic; some deem
it torture, when extended for a
time, and these prisoners have
endured that isolation for years.
Surprising sometimes shocking events disrupt the war
tribunals schedule. We learned
that straightaway, as the first matter on the courts calendar that
week was never even reached.
(See below).
On one occasion, when Judge
Pohl scheduled a rare weekend
session in the 9/11 case, a defendant failed to receive notice, so
he couldnt attend. The reason? A
government contractor refused

to work on weekends, so word
never was sent to the prisoner.
When I was there, bin Attash
complained that the temperature
in his holding cell nearby the
courtroom had been set too low;
he was becoming hypothermic.
When he asked the guards to
adjust the thermostat higher,
they laughed.
Jay Harrington has raised with
Pohl numerous times that his
client, Ramzi bin al Shibh, feels
vibrations and hears noises in
his cell at night which prevent
his getting sleep. As a result, he
feels so debilitated that at times
he cannot make it to court.
These never-ending threats
to the lawyer-client relationship
can inflict real damage. Capital
defense lawyer Richard Kammen
had represented Abd al Rahim al
Nashiri, the alleged ringleader
of the infamous attack on the
U.S.S. Cole, as his lead counsel
for years brilliantly, in my
view when Nashiri decided to
fire him. Only later did he relent.
Then, in the opening minutes
of the first hearing in the 9/11
case in over 18 months, Walid
bin Attash startled all present
by asking Pohl directly how the
commission would conduct its
business, should he decide to
represent himself.
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,
denied the rights of labor unions
and collective bargaining, much
as the state government of Wisconsin tries to do today.)
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
INSIGHT
ANTHONY PIEL
(which most GOP politicians

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
Street. Income tax rates in the
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.
(This was more than 50 years
before Obamacare.)
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?
Sharon resident Anthony Piel
is a former director and general
legal counsel of the World Health
Organization.
According to chief counsel

Bormann, bin Attash had lost
trust in his attorneys because
life in the detention camp
feels like a continuation of his
torture. Bin Attash took over:
We have so many problems in
the [detention] camp that take
precedence over anything we
are discussing here in court. We
are still in the [CIA] black sites.
Bormann said bin Attash believes
that everything is orchestrated
by the [U.S.] Government [to
take] away his ability to make
voluntary decisions. He thinks
the government wants to push
him to stop challenging whats
going on in this commission.
He doesnt know whether a
CIA or FBI member might be
part of his legal team. Bin Attashs
question about self-representation threw Pohls plans for the
week into the dustbin. (Later,
Pohl would deny bin Attashs
request to fire Bormann, since
he was not able to prove good
cause for doing so. However,
with few exceptions, his defense
counsel will have to do bin Attashs bidding.)
Humor bursts forth even in
the seemingly endless, troubled
and at times even snake bit
prosecution seeking to kill the
five men claimed to have conspired to inflict the horrendous
9/11 attacks. Thats what I learned
from speaking with Harrington
over drinks.
In the courtroom, his client,
Walid bin al Shibh, and the legal
team occupy a counsel table
immediately behind that of the
notorious KSM, the alleged mastermind behind the 9/11 attack,
who has boasted of personally
beheading the journalist Daniel
Pearl. Harrington described the
banter that goes on between KSM
and him.
When Harrington argues a
point to his liking, KSM congratulates him, saying something like
My lawyers should be as good.
Or when Harrington disappoints
KSM, making an argument he
disagrees with, the featured
defendant playfully derides his
performance.
In sum, life at the war courts
resembles a brutal version of
Alices world in the rabbit hole
outlandish beyond measure.

Amesville bridge
The long process of replacing
the bridge over the Housatonic
River between Falls Village and
the Amesville section of Salisbury known as the Water
Street Bridge in Falls Village
and the Amesville bridge on the
other side of the river seemed
to be moving right along, with a
December opening in sight.
On Thursday morning, July
9, a handful of spectators stood
in the First Light Power Company park and boat launch, across
the Housatonic River from the
Falls Village hydropower plant,
and watched as the Amesville
bridge cut in two pieces and
lifted away.
The parts of the new bridge
arrived in the first week of October and were lifted into place by
crane on Oct. 27. It was looking
good for the long-anticipated
opening of the bridge to traffic
on Dec. 15.
But on Nov. 2, Salisbury First
Selectman Curtis Rand had bad
news: The bridge would almost
certainly not open as scheduled.
The problems were many.
The entire schedule was delayed
several weeks when the initial low
bidder dropped out, and the state
Department of Transportation
had to evaluate the next-lowest
bid.
There are parts of the bridge
that have to be installed and then
painted, Rand said. Only then
can the concrete deck be poured.
An unusually warm December allowed work to proceed longer than expected. The concrete
deck was poured, for example.
But heading into the new year,
a mid-May opening seems the
most likely scenario.
Bomb threats at HVRHS
In the middle of the morning
on Monday, March 9, students
at Housatonic Valley Regional
High School (HVRHS) were
evacuated by bus to the Salisbury
School for boys in response to an
unspecified threat written on a
bathroom wall.
The following morning,
March 10, a second threat was
discovered, in a different bathroom. State Police did not recommend a second evacuation.
The culprit behind one of
the two threats was discovered
the next day. It was a student at
the school.
In the aftermath of the threats
and evacuation, there was some
criticism of how the school handled the situations.
First Selectman Pat Mechare
told her board that the town was
not informed of the evacuation
and did not get word of it until
it was underway. Falls Village has
the nearest emergency services
departments to the high school.
First Selectman Curtis Rand
was notified by phone by Jacqui
Rice, a teacher at the high school
and the emergency director for
Salisbury, as the students arrived
at Salisbury School.

inside my screen porch a couple
of weeks ago, having nosed its
way through one of the many
holes made by careless children
that I havent gotten around to
patching yet. The bird made a
quick exit when I opened the
door, but I have yet to see it come
back to the suet.
During cold winters like those
we have experienced during the
last two years, we have other avian
visitors from the frozen north.
Pine siskins flock together with
the goldfinches and are especially

fond of thistle or nyjer seed, and
once in a while we get a red poll
finch. None of these has put in an
appearance this winter, though I
have hope that the colder temperatures may entice them back
to our feeders. I havent seen a
red-breasted nuthatch for years,
though I suspect they do come to
other feeders in our region when
they have good conifer stands
nearby for cover.
Legendary winters from
my Hudson Valley childhood
still haunt my dreams, like the
Christmas when it was 31 below
and we had a flock of evening
grosbeaks descend in glory to
our ground feeder.
My winter feeder count stands
at 15 species thus far. I do not
include the black vultures and
crows that perch on nearby
rooftops but do not partake of
the food we provide. I am always
curious to see the comings and
goings of wildlife through the
window. It was this experience
at the home of my grandparents,
after all, that first opened my
young eyes to the patterns of
the natural world and the lives
of the species who share our
surroundings.

cans. Whole towns and villages
were decimated. Mustard gas
and mud replaced the valor
of earlier wars. And while the
fliers from Yale, and eventually
Harvard and other top Eastern
colleges, never succeeded in destroying German U-boat bases,
they proved aviation could be
a critical component of future
warfare.

Wild and Scenic
for Housatonic
After years of discussion, seven towns along the Housatonic
River have all agreed to seek federal Wild and Scenic designation
for the river.
The New Milford town council was the last to sign off on the
plan, which is expected to give
greater protection to the river.
The council voted in October to
give its endorsement, joining the
six Region One towns Cornwall, Falls Village, Kent, North
Canaan, Salisbury and Sharon.
The Housatonic River Commission will work with the
Northwest Hills Council of Governments to take the next steps.
Bargain Barn reprieve
In November, it was announced, to plaintive wails and
the gnashing of teeth in the outer
darkness, that the Bargain Barn
thrift shop in Sharon would close.
But the owners of WHDD
Robin Hood Radio in Sharon
stepped in to take over the shop.
Marshall Miles and Jill Goodman signed a letter of intent for
their company, Tri-State Public
Communications, to take over
management and operations.
The Bargain Barn was a
fundraising operation of the
Health Care Auxiliary, which was
founded in 1912 as the Sharon
Hospital Auxiliary.
It became the Health Care
Auxiliary (HCA) when the hospital converted to a for-profit
entity in 2002. The organization
was run entirely by volunteers,
as are so many agencies in the
area. After 13 years, though,
the longtime president, Harriet
Weiss, retired. In two years of
searching, a replacement was
not found to take on the job. The
auxiliary dissolved on the last day
of 2015 but the Bargain Barn

BOOKS: KITTY BENEDICT

What Was Mine
An Unsettling Tale, Honestly Told
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

Yorker, The New York Times,

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
year or light or even use
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
plastic, rubber, copper and

iron that may immediately
remind you of Picasso or the
surrealists.
