WASHINGTON, D.C. – On Sept. 24 Congressman Joe Courtney (Conn.-2nd District) called for the House of Representatives to move forward with an impeachment inquiry related to the President and his actions. Rep. Courtney released the following statement:

“Over the last several months, I have remained firmly committed to taking the process of investigating the President’s actions in 2016 one step at a time to method-ically uncover the facts, to inform the American public, and build the case for any actions that may be needed to ensure accountability wherever it is required.

“To this end, several committees of the House have been conducting rigorous oversight and investigation into allega-tions of obstruction of justice, corruption, and misconduct by the President and his Administration. I have supported the pro-cess of allowing these committees to utilize all of the tools available to get the answers that Congress needs, and the American people deserve. I repeated that message in telephone town halls, live town halls, cham-ber of commerce breakfasts and countless other public events during the last two years – sometimes to the frustration of many listeners.

“Recently, a new development has rapid-ly changed my thinking and the thinking of many other citizens in eastern Connecticut. On September 9, 2019, Inspector General of the Intelligence Community Michael Atkinson, who was appointed by President Trump, notified Congress that a “credi-ble” whistleblower complaint of “urgent concern” was made regarding multiple presidential conversations in July 2019 that included extralegal promises with a foreign leader. Credible reports indicate that the president has attempted to lever-age Congressionally-approved and taxpay-er-funded security assistance for Ukraine to extract political benefits against a poten-tial opponent.

“The law here is clear: if the Inspector General determines that a complaint meets

the standard of ‘credible’ and of ‘urgent concern,’ then the Director of National Intelligence ‘shall’ forward the materi-al to the House and Senate Intelligence Oversight Committees.

“But that hasn’t happened – the Trump Administration has so far blocked Joseph Maguire, Acting Director of National Intelligence, from providing Congress with the entire whistleblower complaint, which may include a series of actions. On Sept. 23, I called on the Administration to fully comply with the law and transmit the whistleblower complaint to Congress by Sept. 29. So far, the administration has refused to do so and continues to obstruct our Constitutional oversight over these matters. In fact, the President on Sept. 24 dismissed the need to follow the law and adhere to the findings of his own appointee, the Inspector General of the Intelligence Community. The minimal response this afternoon to release one transcript of one call falls far short of what the law requires.

“As a longtime member of the House Armed Services Committee, I am deep-ly troubled by the grave national securi-ty implications of allowing a president to abuse our system of checks and balances, and to willfully ignore Congress’s role in providing critical security aid to our part-ners abroad. The American people deserve to know that their president is using the highest office in our land and the awesome power it holds to serve the national interest – not to pursue political attacks against a potential rival.

“We are at a critical moment for our nation, involving a ‘credible’ complaint concerning the actions of a sitting presi-dent happening in real-time. That is why I now believe it is time to elevate this process to a formal inquiry on the President and his potential misconduct, and to follow the facts wherever they may lead – which includes the most serious action the House can take under the Constitution: impeach-ment.”

WOODSTOCK — If there is one thing the residents of the Woodstock community take seriously it’s the agriculture found throughout the area. Agriculture was in the spot-light at Celebrating Agriculture at the Woodstock Fairgrounds last weekend. The day’s events started off with a hearty breakfast served at 9 am. Throughout the day other food items, desserts, ice cream and drinks were available.

This year the event was run by Diane Miller of Woodstock.

“It started in 2001 when a gentle-man started it. He did not own a farm but he wanted people to know about farming,” said Miller.

Miller owns a local family farm- Fairvue Farm in Woodstock. It is part of The Farmer’s Cow, con-sisting of six Connecticut family dairy farms that are involved with it, working to support the farms and their families. Their products include milk, half and half, eggs, ice cream and also coffee and cider.

This year the Celebrating Agriculture Wagon Ride took everyone to her farm to see what goes on.

“We are harvesting corn right now and the riders get to see some of that in action. They also get to see the cows and the calf’s that are in hutches. Then they go to the big barn where cows are being

GETTING A LEG UP

DAYVILLE — As part of international Climate Strike week, a group of local resi-dents are planning to protest the recently approved Killingly Fracked-Gas plant in Killingly. The protest will take place on Saturday, Sept. 21, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., outside the Killingly Commons, 581 Hartford Pike, in Dayville.

The Connecticut Siting Council approved a new 650-megawatt fracked-gas plant in Killingly. Local residents and statewide environmental organizations are opposing the construction of the plant and have launched a series of protests. Those who oppose the plant are urging people to contact Governor Lamont and the Department of Energy and

Environmental Commissioner Katie Dykes to voice their oppo-sition.

The primary objections to the plant center on environmen-tal concerns. The NTE plant will emit over two million tons of carbon dioxide yearly, an uptick of at least five percent in Connecticut’s greenhouse gas emissions. The local residents protesting the plant said there is no regional need for this power and it is inconsistent with Connecticut’s mandated climate and clean energy goals.

There will be a protest out-side Killingly Commons every Saturday from 11 a.m. to noon. The next meeting of the group will be on Wednesday, Sept. 25, at Killingly Public Library.

THOMPSON — Nature lov-ers who have never partici-pated in an Acorn Adventure or Walktober hike with The Last Green Valley will want to make it a point to check their website out to see when the next hike is scheduled for.

On September 21, Acorn Adventures held one of their programs, “Into the Woods,” at the picturesque West Thompson Dam in West Thompson. Acorn Adventures, sponsored by Putnam Bank, is a kids program from TLGV that teaches them about

nature. Every month children and their families go to vari-ous nature sites to learn about identifying trees, animals, tracks and more. The program teaches children and adults alike to have an appreciation for nature.

Chief Ranger Bill Reid met with the adventurers to explain some of the needs that are beneficial to have on hand with you when you go on a nature walk, and what to pack for a successful hike. “I bring a back to carry what I need,” said Reid. “I have a water bot-

tle in it and a snack.” He also ties bells on himself. “There are bears in the area and the bells will keep them away. I always bring a first aid kit and guidebooks that help to iden-tify what I might find in the woods.” He keeps binoculars around his neck to be ready at a moment’s notice.

Ranger Bill has been with TLGV since 2007 and has been Chief Ranger for the about the past 7 years. There are about 40 volunteer Rangers that help out with the program. One of

DANIELSON —On Sept. 20 at approximately 7:30 p.m. mem-bers of the Connecticut State Police Troop D – Quality of Life Task Force stopped a vehi-cle on I-395 S/B in Plainfield for a motor vehicle violation. Troopers approached the car and identified the driver as Eric Terwilliger (DOB 04/03/1981) of Plainfield. While interviewing Terwilliger, Troopers observed several indicators of criminal

activity and became suspicious that narcotics may be present within the vehicle. K9 Ambrie, a female black Labrador trained in narcotic detection, was used to sniff Terwilliger and gave a very strong alert to his waistband area. Terwilliger then admitted to having fentanyl hidden on his person and turned over 40 bags of fentanyl over to Troopers. Terwilliger was placed under arrest without incident and

transported to Troop D where he was processed and charged with Possession of Narcotics - 21A-279(A). Terwilliger was

released on a $5,000.00 bond and is to appear in Danielson Superior Court on Oct. 2.

Members of the Connecticut State Police are commit-ted to combating drug activity in the “Quiet Corner” and anyone with i n f o r m a t i o n regarding the ille-gal sale of narcot-ics are encouraged to call the Troop D QLTF anony-mous Tips Hotline at 860-779-4950 or message the QLTF Facebook page.

Lt. Governor visits Westview Health Care Center

DAYVILLE — Lieutenant Governor Susan Bysiewicz made an extensive trip through Westview Health Care Center and the future site of Country Living at Westview Commons, touring the Dayville campus on Sept, 17. Her trip was wide-ranging in both subject and space. She and her contingent cov-ered ground everywhere from the main entrance, through the various wings of the facility, and all the way to the con-struction site across the street into the 75 unit and 115,000 square foot structure that is presently being built. On this day Lt. Gov. Bysiewicz was the esteemed guest of Westview Administrator David T. Panteleakos and Westview Commons Executive Director Donna Copeland. Given her busy schedule, the Westview leadership greatly appre-ciated the visit. The tour began with an entrance through the main lobby to the second floor of the nursing facility. At that particular time the Therapeutic Recreation Department was running a game of “BINGO” for the patients, and the Lieutenant Governor could not pass by the opportunity to step into the action. Recreation Director Louise Taylor happily handed off her duties as the number puller for the moment, and the two of them performed several spins and draws with extra enthusiasm. In fact, Lt. Gov. Bysiewicz would not depart until she had called enough num-bers to determine a winner. If ever an example was needed to show that Susan Bysiewicz is a champion for the people, this is as good of an anecdote as any. The trip continued down each of the wings of the 103 bed skilled care facility, afford-ing additional residents and patients with opportunities to interact with the Lieutenant Governor. Many Westview staff members greeted the party as it traveled through the residence to the Outpatient Aquatic Therapy Center where Lt. Gov. Bysiewicz met Director of Therapies Phuong Nilo; then mov-ing on to Westview’s Sports Medicine Department where she was greeted by Alex Williams, the Director of Sports Medicine. Throughout these engage-ments, Westview’s Director of Finance Donna LaHaie accompanied the party

and provided key insights into the his-tory—and future—of the organization as it builds on the prospect of Country Living at Westview Commons. Next stop: the construction site. More dis-cussion complemented the walk as the group headed outside and across the street. As they walked onto the 117 Ware Road property and entered the steel-framed and wooden-sheathed structure, hard hats were a necessary accessory; but this is nothing new for Lt. Gov. Bysiewicz. She is often seen sporting such headwear, as she covers Connecticut to learn about new oppor-tunities in construction and indus-try. About her trip to this section of the quiet corner, Lieutenant Governor Bysiewicz remarked: “Governor Lamont and I like to visit all kinds of businesses and we›re particularly interested in health care because that is one of the strengths that Connecticut has. It was nice to visit the long-term care part of Westview and then, to come over here and see the construction of these beautiful independent and assist-ed living units that will be opened in about a year.” Walking through the active construction of the various cor-ridors provided even more opportunity for David Panteleakos and his team to elaborate on the details about this state-of-the-art facility. The physical

scale of the building, its hallways, the residences—all could easily be visual-ized because the structural silhouettes are there. When the crew ventured up to the second floor and down the long hallway of “Wing A” they were able to gaze outward at the footprint of the grand dining room and the per-pendicular positioning of “Wing B,” with its underground parking garage and cement footings now supporting its own network of steel. This first-person perspective lent itself to easy explana-tions as the securities, amenities, and luxuries of Westview Commons were detailed. The conversation between Lt. Gov. Bysiewicz and the Westview lead-ership on this day was as much about physically looking into vast spaces with opportunities in mind as much as it was about looking into an expansive future. Executive Vice President and Administrator David T. Panteleakos stated, “We are very appreciative of the fact that Lt. Gov. Bysiewicz traveled to tour our facilities; and engage with our residents and health care professionals. Caring for our senior population is vital to the social fabric of our community and Lt. Governor asked all the pertinent questions of a health care provider and employer that I would have expected. We were all very impressed with her!”

St. Joseph School dedicates playground

NORTH GROSVENORDALE — St. Joseph School marked the first day of autumn through a special dedica-tion of its newly renovated playground area on Sept. 23. Leading the SJS com-munity in the beginning of the school day ceremony was Fr. Steven Gulino, Associate Pastor of St. Therese of Lisieux Parish, who offered a special prayer and blessing for the playground. Joining him in congratulatory remarks was Mr. Henry Fiore, Superintendent of Schools for the Diocese of Norwich, Mr. David Sizemore, Principal of SJS, Mrs. Lindsay Lehmann, Chair of the Parent School Connection (PSC), Mrs. Nicola “Nikki” Chrzanowski, Parent and Co-Chair of the Playground Committee, Mrs. Kristin Scaplen, Parent and Co-Chair of the Playground Committee, and Alex DeCarli, a past SJS student who asked Mr. Sizemore to make ren-ovations to the playground during the early portion of the 2018-19 school year.

A great deal of work was done months in advance to renovate the playground. Fundraising began in earnest late last fall with an empty water jug stationed near the front entrance of the school where passersby donated various amounts of currency. Larger donations for the project came through in March thanks to a successful Math Wizards fundraiser sponsored by the PSC along with donations given to Mr. Sizemore for his birthday. Patrons to the annual SJS May Funfest also graciously donat-ed to the cause.

Using a budget of $5,000, the

Playground Committee decided the current playscape would be moved to a more central location for increased student use as well as the addition of spinning cups and a special flower lad-der for the Pre-K students in their play-ground area.

Major renovations to the area began in mid-August when a group of SJS par-ents, grandparents, and friends came to donate their time and talent to clear an area of overgrown brush adjacent to the playground space. Later in September, Stephen Paul, a current SJS parent, was able to take down a large beech nut tree to clear even more space for the playground area. Another crew of volunteers put the final touches on the renovations this past Saturday, as the existing playscape and the new items were put in place along with the distri-bution of 90 cubic yards of playground mulch.

“We are so happy to see the begin-nings of our plans for the playground renovations take shape,” said Kristin Scaplen. She added that this is only Phase #1 of the renovations with Phase #2 targeted for the Spring of 2020. “I’m excited to see the difference this makes during recess and interactive play between all grades and abilities” said Nikki Chrzanowski. Finally, Lindsay Lehmann summed up the sentiments of many when she talked about how much “SJS has changed and grown in her six years as the Chair of PSC” and how “excited she is for what the future will bring” to our school community.

On behalf of the SJS community, David Sizemore would like to thank to myriad of volunteers that made the dream of renovating the play-ground a reality and would especially like to recognize Nikki Chrzanowski, Lindsay Lehmann, and Kristin Scaplen for all of their hard work and effort as the leaders in this effort.

If anyone is interested in making a donation to Phase #2 of the reno-vation of the playground, please con-tact David Sizemore at [email protected] or at (860) 923-2090.

The mission of St. Joseph School is to create a strong foundation of Catholic faith in a caring, respect-ful and nurturing environment. The school also encourages academic suc-cess, instills discipline, and infuses life-time learning skills in each student. Its school motto is “Where Our Children Shine.”

Upcoming events at St. Joseph School include the sixth annual SJS Julia Marcoux Memorial Golf Tournament on Oct. 3, at Connecticut National Golf Course in Putnam as well as the next SJS Sunday Breakfast on November 3, 2019 which will have a bake sale and a special Holiday Shopping Event featur-ing many local vendors.

Deathtrap at the Bradley Playhouse

PUTNAM — It’s time for the Theatre of Northeastern Connecticut’s tradi-tional fall thriller. This year, head to the Bradley Playhouse in Putnam for Ira Levin’s Deathtrap, which is described as two-thirds thriller and one-third dev-ilishly clever comedy. The show opens October 4th and runs for three week-ends.

Performances are October 4, 5, 11, 12, 18 and 19 at 7:30 pm and October 6, 13 and 20 at 2:00 pm. When Deathtrap opened on Broadway in 1978, New York

Times critic Walter Kerr wrote that it contained “effrontery everywhere and fun straight through.” It was nominated for four Tony Awards, including Best Play. In 1982, it was adapted for film, starring Christopher Reeve, Michael Caine and Dyan Cannon.

Deathtrap, which is set in Westport, CT, finds Sidney Bruhl, a successful writer of Broadway thrillers, struggling to over come a string of failures. A possible break in his fortunes occurs when he receives a script from one of his students that he recognizes as a potential hit. With his wife’s help, he devises a plan to offer collaboration with the student, which the young man

accepts. Thereafter suspense mounts and the plot begins to twist and turn with devilish cleverness. Helga, a nosey psychic neighbor, and Porter, Sydney’s observant friend and attorney, can only speculate where the line between truth and deception lies. The audience will be spellbound until the very last moment.

The TNECT performance of Deathtrap is directed by Natasha Darius who is assisted by Jonathan Demers. Preston Arnold appears as playwright Sidney Bruhl and Valerie Coleman is his wife, Myra. The young, aspiring writer, Clifford Anderson, is played by Sean Gardell. The cast is completed by Jennifer Briere as psychic Helga ten

Dorp and William Corriveau as friend and attorney Porter Milgrim.

The Bradley Playhouse is located at 30 Front Street (Route 44) in Putnam, CT. All seats are reserved. Reservations may be made online at www.thebrad-leyplayhouse.org or by calling 860-928-7887. Tickets may be purchased at the theater box office, either before the per-formance or at the door if available. Purchasing your tickets ahead of time is always a good idea.

milked,” she said.The event is geared to pro-

mote education and to get others to take part in agricul-ture, hoping that this knowl-edge will lead residents to buy local and fresh. It is important that the commu-nity gets to know their local farmers as their neighbors, and that they will come out to support them. Local farms are part of the Cabot Cheese co-op for small farms. Agriculture is alive and well in the quiet corner.

Lynn Weaver of Woodstock is the current Chairperson for Celebrating Agriculture.

“I work for Farm Credit East in Dayville,” he said. “They are a sponsor for the event. I really believe

in this event. It is all about Agriculture education and where the food comes from. There is so much agriculture in our own back yard. If it is one thing I hope for is that everyone who came today leaves knowing where food comes from.”

Farm Credit East provides services to Farmers through loans and other avenues. Local growers are encour-aged to come out to sell their products. There were also demonstrations for chain saws and other farm equip-ment. Old and new farm equipment was on display, agriculture displays, farm products, horses, cows and even a scavenger hunt.

the volunteers, Kim McLean of Norwich was on hand. “I travel all over TLGV to participate in their programs. As volun-teers, my husband Geoffrey and I put on some of the programs,” she said.

During the walk into the woods, Ranger Bill pointed out a couple of different types of small trees. “This one is a white conifer tree,” he said while pointing to a two foot high white pine. “This one is a Deciduous Tree, which is a tree that will lose their leaves. When they came upon a toad Ranger Bill picked it up and turned to his guide

book to figure out the type it was, an American Toad. “We do this program once a month to get the kids into the outdoors and teach them to appreciate nature. We also identified four ferns today with our guide book,” said Reid.

Fran Kefalas of Canterbury, Assistant Director of TLGV was there videotap-ing the event. She manages the Acorn

Adventure and the Walktober pro-gram. “We do this once a month,” she said. “We do it so we can get the kids and adults outdoors and to value and respect what is out here.”

PUTNAM – Congressman Joe Courtney (Ct.- 2nd District) recently announced that the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has awarded federal grants totaling more than $2 million to Connecticut Sea Grant (CTSG), based out of the University of Connecticut’s Avery Point campus in Groton.

“Connecticut Sea Grant handles everything from connecting aquaculture producers to communi-ties to jumpstarting fish-eries,” said Congressman Courtney. “They’ve been assisting local shellfish farmers, fishermen, and maritime conservation efforts across the Long Island sound for over fifty years, and I’m glad we were able to help them secure this import-ant funding.”

The first award is for $1,085,131, and will help support the establish-ment of a National Sea Grant Seaweed Hub. The hub will serve as a cen-tral clearinghouse for available science-based,

non-proprietary, practical resources related to previ-ous and current seaweed aquaculture research and extension efforts. This project will grant federal and state agencies the abil-ity to access information to guide their own plan-ning and outreach efforts, as well as provide seaweed aquaculture stakehold-ers with the information they need to make better informed decisions.

The second award is for $1,173,284 and will be used to expand available science-based tools and information to proactive-ly and effectively engage the public, press, and decision-makers about the social, economic and environmental effects of shellfish aquaculture. The funding will also be used to expand entry level training opportunities to improve decision-making of permitting, with the overall goal of formulat-ing an effective strategy to identify and promote beneficial bivalve aqua-culture development in Connecticut and New England.

Sea Grant is a nation-al network comprised of 33 Sea Grant programs based at flagship univer-sities in coastal and Great Lake states throughout the U.S. and Puerto Rico. The National Sea Grant College Program encour-ages the wise stewardship of our marine resources through research, educa-tion, outreach and technol-ogy transfer. The Program is focused on making the United States the world leader in marine research and the sustainable devel-opment of marine resourc-es.

CTSG is funded princi-pally through the NOAA, with matching funds from the State of Connecticut, through the University of Connecticut. The pro-gram has three focuses: research, outreach, and education. Outreach efforts include the CTSG Extension Program, and its Communications Program. The program also has an administrative staff committed to promot-ing understanding of the Sea Grant mission.

READING NEWSPAPERS IS A QUEST LIKE NO OTHER


You’ve worked hard over the years to accumulate wealth, and you probably find it comforting to know that after your death the assets you leave behind will continue to be a source of support for your family, friends, and the causes that are important to you. But to ensure that your lega-cy reaches your heirs as you intend, you must make the proper arrangements now. There are four basic ways to leave a legacy: (1) by will, (2) by trust, (3) by beneficiary designation, and (4) by joint ownership arrangements; working with a financial advisor can help you decide which channel is right for you, and develop your lega-cy to work toward meet-ing your goals. Using our unique and strategic Plan Well. Invest Well. Live Well.TM process, you have the opportunity to estab-lish those goals and set up an individualized plan for your assets.

Wills: A will is the cor-nerstone of any estate plan. You should have a will no matter how much your estate is worth, even if you’ve implemented other estate planning strategies.

You can leave property by will in two ways: mak-ing specific bequests and making general bequests. A specific bequest directs a particular piece of proper-ty to a particular person (“I leave Aunt Martha’s dia-mond broach to my niece, Jen”). A general bequest is typically a percentage of property or property that is left over after all specific bequests have been made. Typically, principal heirs receive general bequests (“I leave all the rest of my property to my wife, Jane”).

With a will, you can generally leave any type of property to whomever you wish, with some excep-tions, including: property will pass according to a ben-eficiary designation even if you name a different ben-eficiary for the same prop-erty in your will; property owned jointly with rights of survivorship passes directly to the joint owner; property in a trust passes according to the terms of the trust; your surviving spouse has a right to a stat-utory share (e.g., 50%) of your property, regardless of what you leave him or her in your will; leaving property outright to minor children can be problemat-ic – you should name a cus-todian or property guard-ian, or use a trust.

Trusts: You can leave property to your heirs using a trust. Trust prop-erty passes directly to the trust beneficiaries accord-ing to the trust terms. There are two basic types of trusts: (1) living/revoca-ble, and (2) irrevocable.

Living trusts are very flexible because you can change the terms of the trust (e.g., rename benefi-ciaries) and the property in the trust at any time. You can even change your mind by taking your property back and ending the trust.

An irrevocable trust, on the other hand, can’t be changed or ended except by its terms, but can be useful if you want to minimize estate taxes or protect your property from potential creditors.

You create a trust by exe-cuting a document called a trust agreement (you should have an attorney draft any type of trust to be sure it accomplishes what you want). A trust can’t distribute property it does not own, so you must also transfer ownership of your property to the name of the trust. Property without ownership documentation

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Leaving a legacy

Country music is the

soundtrack of my life

My mom made the best biscuits and gravy in America. You may be rolling your eyes but it’s not just a bold statement

from a proud son, so stay with me …I have been captivated by the new Ken

Burns documentary on Country Music. My dad and mom were dedicated fans. Mom grew up in Sapulpa, Oklahoma, what was then a tiny town next to the growing city of Tulsa. She loved Bob Wills and often heard him perform live. I remember as a small child, sitting on my mom’s lap, laughing as she would sing a rousing version of the Wills hit, “Take Me Back to Tulsa.” She called herself an Okie and wore the moniker proudly. My dad was from Sesser, Illinois, a small coal-mining town in the deep southern part of the state they call, “Little Egypt.” My dad always thought of himself as a “Hillbilly,” and I guess he was. I grew up in my younger years eating more rabbit and squirrel than beef and pork. I became quite skilled at chewing and spitting out the buckshot without damaging my teeth.

One of my father’s closest friends as a child was Billy Grammer. Billy had a big North American hit in 1958 titled, “Gotta Travel On.” It was top 5 in both the Country and Pop charts and was equally as popular in Australia. Many of the old timers will remember that song and prob-ably not know the name of the artist that made it famous. Gotta Travel On was a medley of his only hit but Billy is legend-ary in Nashville as a studio guitarist and regular on the Grand Ole Opry.

Mom and Dad met in a country and western bar in small-town Salem, Illinois. They married in 1953 and moved north to the Chicago area to find employment. The Chicago area was being flooded after the war with people from Southern Illinois, Kentucky and Tennessee, seeking employment, and they brought Country music with them.

My earliest childhood memories were of Saturday nights, sitting with my family and many neighbors at our old Grundig Radio, turned to WSM in Nashville, Tennessee, listening to Billy Grammer and the other stars of the Grand Ole Opry.

As Billy Grammer would tour with var-ious Country artists and would find them-selves in or around the Chicago area, my mom would always invite Billy and any of the traveling performers to our home for biscuits and gravy … and they came. George Morgan, Grandpa Jones, Minnie Pearl, Roy Acuff, Merle Kilgore and many others all found their way to our home, often arriving after midnight in taxi cabs and leaving around sunrise.

I watch this excellently produced doc-umentary and feel like I am seeing old friends. I remember meeting Loretta Lynn for the first of several times, very early in her career and backstage at the Hammond, Indiana Civic Center. Billy introduced us to her and said she was new but would soon be the new “First Lady of Country Music.” She grabbed my shoulders, looked at me and proclaimed that I was the “prettiest little boy she’d ever met.” She pulled my head to her chest and hugged me. When she went on stage she said, “There is the most beauti-ful little boy backstage and I sure wish I had his eyelashes.”

I met her again several times over the next few years and she always gave me a hug. She may have been the kindest and sweetest person I ever met. I later told my teacher I met The First Lady and she asked, “Lady Bird Johnson? And I responded, “No, Loretta Lynn!”

When I was nineteen, I auditioned and played drums for one night with Ray Price. Ray asked me if I’d like to play a few additional nights and I enjoyed the privilege and opportunity to travel a short time with one of the greatest country stars of the 1960’s and 70’s. This is around the time where “western” was

I am writing to tell you about Doug Farrow, who is running for re-election to the Town of Killingly Board of Education. I have known Doug for over 15 years, we met because our children played in Killingly Little League together.

Doug is who we need on the Board of Education, due to his vast knowledge of what our kids need. He has been a special educa-tion teacher for over 25 years, volunteered for Special Olympics, volunteered with the Killingly Little League and has children of his own.

I am a 1990 graduate of Killingly High

School, and was happy to see Doug stand up to keep our Redmen name and logo at the Board of Education meeting, when most of the other members were not. Doug understands what is important to the citizens of Killingly and graduates of Killingly High School!

Doug is hardworking and dedicated to the Town of Killingly. Please join me in voting for Doug Farrow for the Killingly Board of Education!

Why Support the Climate Strike? Climate activist Greta Thunberg told Congress that she’d rather they listened to scientists than to her. Here is what children, their parents, and neighbors in our Quiet Corner community are saying when asked why they support the Climate Strike. (Collected at the Woodstock Climate Strike, 9/20/19.)

Which comment represents your concerns?This is a big deal. There are steps we can

take to reverse the damage being done.We don’t want our world to die. We want

to help.Our leaders are not paying attention.

Climate change is a reality that threatens us all.

The globe is in crisis and we have to care.We only have one earth and we have to take

care of it.When we grow up and have kids, we have

to make sure there is a good environment for them.

We only have one earth and it’s up to us to improve it.

My bottom line is concern about eventual global civil war as countries fight for resourc-es.

Adults aren’t paying attention so we have

to.To wake people up to the emergency…

this is not a hoax. It’s real and time is of the essence.

I became a citizen of the earth the first Earth Day. Since then, I’ve learned to keep my eyes open, to criticize and to question what’s going on.

To make people think about taking respon-sibility since we can’t count on leadership to take care of us.

Nothing else matters if humanity can’t survive on earth.

It’s our planet; we have to care for it. This is not a political issue; it’s a concern about our world and about caring for one another.

If the animals get destroyed there’ll be less food. If there is less clean water, we won’t have anything to drink and if there are no trees, we won’t have oxygen.

I like animals and don’t want them to die.We’re all terrestrial. If we can’t take care of our home, this plan-

et, we’ve failed.

I am so glad to know that Raymond Wood is seeking a seat on the Killingly Town Council. I have known Raymond for over 13 years as his pastor and have been impressed by his commitment to the community. He is a life-long resident of Killingly and currently serves as an EMT with KB Ambulance. I am absolutely certain that he will serve this community as faithfully as he has the church for all the years I have known him. Raymond has proven to be open to hearing and discuss-

ing differences of opinions and perspectives. He is able to think clearly in crisis situations and handles conflicting issues with grace and integrity, qualities that are much needed today in all levels of governmental leader-ship. Raymond Wood has my full support on November 5th.

The truth about the FedEvery time the Fed makes an announce-

ment about raising or lowering interest rates the country waits nervously like it is a decision from on high. What of the real truth about the Fed which the average per-son doesn’t now. From the time of its cre-ation on Dec. 23, 1913 the Fed represented the ultimate political and economic power in the country. It alone possessed the ability to establish interest rates, and to precipitate prosperity or depression. By its sole decision, money became available for industrial and business growth or it became withdrawn from circulation, making it impossible for entrepreneurs to launch new ventures, for couples to purchase houses or people to gain employment. No other agency is more for-midable or important to the everyday life of American citizens, although few are aware of its function. The very name of America’s cen-tral bank is deceptive! It is not federal. The government (I.E. American taxpayers) owns

no shares. It is a private, profit making com-pany. The shareholders are the private banks that united to it. The reserve system has no reserves. The money deposited is used by the directors of the twelve banks (I.E. branches of the federal reserve) at their discretion. Finally, the system is not a system. It is a syn-dicate of bankers whose interests are often at odds with the welfare of the American people. When the federal reserve act was passed the people of the united states did not perceive that a world banking system as being set up here, a superstate controlled by international industrialists acting together to enslave the world for their own pleasure. Every effort has been made by the Fed to conceal its power, but the truth is the Fed has usurped the gov-ernment.

No fan of TrumpThe Democrats may have a hard time get-

ting their candidate elected. One of the main problems will be to come up with a slogan that can catch the enthusiasm of the voters. I submit:

Bring Back Basic American Values Considering what Trump has destroyed, I’m

talking about such basic values as: Honesty --- Ethics --- Morality --- Decency --- Respect --- Cooperation — Compromise --- Responsibility --- Truth --- Rule of Law --- Primacy of the Constitution.

I’m not going to say that the Republic has been a paragon of these values. Hardly. But I feel that the majority of our people hold these ideals worthy of attaining.

And are these not values that we need to re-establish in our political system and social discourse? Whoever the Democrats put for-ward, the message must be directed to mod-erating extreme positions and staying above level of personal invective while stating the truth.

Now this thing with the Ukraine. Trump will certainly claim that he did not direct-ly order their President to investigate the Biden’s, nor pressure him in any way.

However, if Trump really held back or threatened to hold back the military assis-tance in any way or with conditions, he really is acting like he is the boss and is making it an order.

Now most of us can understand that the mere suggestion from a boss almost always has the effect of a direct order. If a boss were to say, “Wouldn’t it be nice if that wall were painted blue?” almost all subordinates would take it as an order and get it done. Especially so if the boss were to make the statement 8 times. It becomes an order with consequences if it is not carried out. The situation seems an awful like what Trump has done.

And if he has done it, it rises to the crime of bribery – a specific misdeed requiring impeachment according to the Constitution.

You know, with so many people ousted from jobs or forced to resign with a single accusation of misdeed with the presumption of guilt, why can Trump continue in office with so many allegations of criminal behav-ior and abuse of power? OK, there haven’t been any trials with proof of guilt in court. But if it were anyone else, the vast number of accusations would have hounded the boss out merely by the pressure of public opinion. We can respect the office of the Presidency with-out respecting the person holding it without being unpatriotic. Indeed, holding contrary opinions is protected and cherished by our Constitution.

(e.g., jewelry, tools, furniture) are transferred to a trust by listing the items on a trust schedule. Property with own-ership documents must be re-titled or re-registered.

You must also name a trust-ee to administer the trust and manage the trust property. With a living trust, you can name yourself trustee, but you’ll need to name a succes-sor trustee who’ll transfer the property to your heirs after your death. A living trust is also a good way to protect your property in case you become incapacitated.

Beneficiary designations: Property that is contractual in nature, such as life insur-

ance, annuities, and retire-ment accounts, passes to heirs by beneficiary designa-tion. Typically, all you have to do is fill out a form and sign it. Beneficiaries can be persons or entities, such as a charity or a trust, and you can name multiple beneficia-ries to share the proceeds. You should name primary and contingent beneficiaries.

You shouldn’t name minor children as beneficiaries. You can, however, name a guard-ian to receive the proceeds for the benefit of the minor child.

You should consider the income and estate tax rami-fications for your heirs and your estate when naming a beneficiary. For example, proceeds your beneficiaries receive from life insurance are generally not subject

to income tax, while your beneficiaries will have to pay income tax on proceeds received from tax-deferred retirement plans (e.g., tradi-tional IRAs). Check with your financial advisor to deter-mine whether your beneficia-ry designations will have the desired results.

Be sure to re-evaluate your beneficiary designations when your circumstanc-es change (e.g., marriage, divorce, death of beneficiary). You can’t change the bene-ficiary with your will or a trust. You must fill out and sign a new beneficiary desig-nation form.

Joint ownership arrange-ments

Two (or more) persons can own property equally, and at the death of one, the other

becomes the sole owner. This type of ownership is called joint tenancy with rights of survivorship (JTWRS). A JTWRS arrangement between spouses is known as tenan-cy by the entirety in certain states, and a handful of states have a form of joint owner-ship known as community property.

There is another type of joint ownership called tenan-cy in common where there is no right of survivorship. Property held as tenancy in common will not pass to a joint owner automatically, although you can leave your interest in the property to your heirs in your will.

There are some other disad-vantages to joint ownership arrangements, including: (1) your co-owner has immediate access to your property, (2) naming someone who is not your spouse as co-owner may trigger gift tax consequences, (3) if the co-owner has debt problems, creditors may go after the co-owner’s share, and (4) unlike with most other types of property, a co-owner of your checking or savings account can withdraw the entire balance without your knowledge or consent.

Planning for the long road: Thinking about how to plan your estate can seem like a huge responsibility. Working with a financial advisor and other professionals can help alleviate some of the angst regarding the specific details and the fine print. Our Plan

Well. Invest Well. Live Well.TM process can help you think long-term about your legacy and wishes for your estate. It doesn’t have to be scary to plan for the future, and you certainly don’t have to do it alone. With these tips and key points regarding estate planning, we hope you will be better able to plan ahead.

Native Americans in Connecticut

Last month I had the privilege and plea-sure of attending a presentation for LiR at Quinebaug Valley Community College by State Archaeologist Nicholas Bellantoni who is again acting in that position. In his retirement Nick wrote The Long Journeys Home, a book about the repa-triation of men from two Indigenous Nations---Hawaiian and Lakota ---who died in Connecticut, far from their places of birth. Due to the spiritual experiences of female relatives, the missions to return both men to their homes were undertaken and accomplished. As State Archaeologist Nick oversaw the respectful “archaeolog-ical disinterment and forensic identifi-cations in returning these men to their respective Native families.”

Those of you who have heard Nick know that he is a powerful storyteller, and that is truly reflected in his book. The Long Journey Home contains much fasci-nating cultural material in addition to the process, at times quite discouraging, of disinterring the bodies.

The first individual to be repatriated, in 1993, was a Hawaiian Opukaha’ia, given the Christian name Henry ‘Obookiah’. He was the first Christianized Native Hawaiian and died in 1818 of typhus in Cornwall, Connecticut. He “had been studying at the newly formed Foreign Mission School with hopes of returning to Hawai’i with the Gospel of Jesus Christ in his hands.” Although he never lived to fulfill his dream, he “inspired many mis-sionaries to venture off to the Sandwich Islands.” Henry even “created a phonet-

ic Hawaiian alphabet which he applied to translate the book of Genesis from Hebrew.”

The repatriation of Albert Afraid of Hawk did not take place until almost two decades later in 2012. A member of Buffalo Bill’s Wild West show, twenty- year old Albert became critically ill while on tour in western Connecticut, probably from food poisoning from tainted canned corn. He was taken to Danbury Hospital where he died June 29, 1900. Interred in the Wooster Cemetery in an unmarked grave, Albert provided numerous chal-lenges. The acidity of the soil meant that the wood of the coffin and even bones were subject to decomposition. Read of the seemingly miraculous co-incidences in finally locating some remains. It will give you goose bumps! The Long Journeys Home by Nick Bellantoni is available from Wesleyan University Press and is well worth the read. Check online for the digital edition (Quotes from The Long Journeys Home).

It’s hard to believe that The Last Green Valley’s Walktober events have already begun. In the next few weeks I’ll be devot-ing part of each column to walks/events that are taking place here in our own neighborhood. I hope you’re able to take in at least one.

Have you ever visited the Putnam Elms in Brooklyn? I haven’t so I am looking forward to this early walk on Wednesday, October 2. Brooklyn. 10-a.m.-Noon.

Daniel Putnam, son of Revolutionary General Israel Putnam. Daniel “served as his (father’s) Aide de Camp through-out the American Revolution. The six-teen year old patriot was at Bunker Hill and witnessed America’s birth beside his famous parent.” Colonel Daniel Putnam and his wife Catherine (Hutchinson) raised eight children in the house.

Also on Wednesday, October 2 at 5-6 p.m. is the West Thompson Dam Tour. 162 West Thompson Road. North Grosvenordale.

Town finances

September is always an interesting month in the world of town finances. This is when the finan-cial statements for the previous year, the one that ended June 30th, are reviewed, along with any account transfers resulting from surpluses or to bal-ance accounts which then have to be approved by the Board of Finance (BOF) to go to a special town meet-ing to be called by the selectmen. Unfortunately interest and attendance in Board of Finance (BOF) meetings tends to drop even further than normal. This year was no excep-tion – we had a total of five non-board members show up, two were select-men, the town treasurer and the Chair of the board of Ed., and one non-town official – note no one from the school administration attended.

Again this year there were significant surplus-es in both the town bud-gets and in the school budget – perhaps. Seems the expense report from

the school, which was noted as preliminary and showed a $110,000-plus sur-plus, didn’t tie-out to the town ledgers. Of note this surplus was after having paid $100,000 in tuition for Woodstock Academy that had been deferred to the 2020 fiscal year – so actually they would have had something over $210,000 if not for that pre-payment. A little back-ground: during last year’s (spring of 2018) budget discussions the BOE and Woodstock Public School Administration had plead-ed that their budget, which was limited by Prop 46, was so tight that WPS would be facing extreme cuts to pro-grams and staff and they needed relief. Woodstock Academy stepped up and offered to defer $100,000 in tuition payments until July 2019 to help relieve some the pressure WPS was “facing”. It was rumored that the $100,000 had been paid early but when going through the expense budgets and the non-payroll check register (a very good public source of information on where money is actually going for those who would like to

better understand school spending) I couldn’t find the $100,000. A chance meeting with the school superintendent got a quick explanation, the $100,000 had not only been paid but the decision to pay it early was made even before the school year started so all payments to Woodstock Academy were consistent through the year, and why it couldn’t be easy found in the check register. Keep in mind this decision would have been made just weeks after the claims by the BOE and school administra-tion of underfunding and threats of suits for “dispro-portionate” funding claim-ing Woodstock Academy gets all the money, starv-ing WPS of funds. An analysis of actual spending per student in the respec-tive schools done this past spring showed that was not the case; not even close. Any significant discussion of any of this, or the $30,336 I reviewed in my last col-umn, had to be put off as no school administration officials were present and the expense report from the school was still pre-liminary – as previously noted it was not tying-

out to town ledgers and, in some accounts, to the check register. Any dis-cussion of this will there-fore have to wait until at least November when a new BOF will be conve-niently seated – don’t hold your breath.

The town side was even more interesting at least in respect to Prop 46. The 2019 budget (passed in the spring of 2018) had been pretty much flat even after the town absorbed an increase in debt due to the school roof project; how-ever, significant changes in town hall staffing and a mild winter helped a great deal in controlling expens-es leaving the town with more than $387,000 in sur-pluses for the year. The selectmen had requested that these surpluses be allocated to designated capital accounts including funding of the tuition pay-ment of $212,000 approved as a capital expense at ref-erendum in August and $75,000 for “Emergency Tree Removal”. When this last item was ques-tioned by Roy Bradrick, a regular member of the BOF, as to why this wasn’t in the this year’s budget,

comparing it to budgeting for snowplowing, the first selectman responded that during the budgeting pro-cess they, the BOS, were asked to keep any increas-es to a minimum and so they didn’t have sufficient funds to budget this obvi-ously period expense. This is clearly a normal mainte-nance issue and expense and not an emergency as they knew about it months ago and simply chose not to budget for it, but, hey, now we have a convenient way around the spending limits of Prop 46 so we just capitalize it. It only took a little over a month after the capitalization of Woodstock Academy tui-tion to drive down this same route and circum-vent Prop 46 again. I think it is safe to say Prop 46 is dead in terms of limiting increases in spending – you simply capitalize…

November elections are just around the corner and the new budgeting season will begin not long after. Keep all this in mind as you go to the polls. Be sure you know where your candidates stand on these issues and I mean “actu-ally” not just what they

will say to get elected. It’s also a pretty good idea that people running for boards of finance, select-man, and boards of ed. – or any board for that matter – have the background and experience to do the job. These may be only town positions but the decisions made, and actions taken, will have real impact. And during the coming budget season, remember what has transpired this past year, and for the last sev-eral years, when you hear the wailing and cries of insufficient funding, cuts to services, and impend-ing lay-offs; remember the strategy during budget season is “to do and say anything to get a budget” then do whatever you want. The only way any of this will change is for the voters/taxpayers to come out and simply say “NO” as many times as neces-sary until the message “no more” gets through.

Opinions expressed are mine and do not reflect those of the Woodstock Board of Finance.

dropped and the music emerged as simply “Country.” At the time Barbara Mandrell and her family were traveling as the warm-up act for Price and she and her family, like Ray Price and Loretta Lynn, are truly among the finest people I have ever met.

There are no absolutes, but the openness, kindness and lack of “star-ego” is what I think of as I think back to meeting these performers. They were wildly popular and known all over North America and beyond but

there were no false pretenses or air of entitlement. They felt as though they were as lucky to meet their fans as the fans were to meet them.

I was a young witness to these performers and the making of the history of country & western music thanks to my dad’s love of the music and his childhood friend Billy Grammer. Billy took us backstage in almost all of the Chicago area venues and introduced us to the biggest stars of the day, then brought them to our home in Hillcrest subdivision in Kankakee, Illinois to relax and eat what George Morgan proclaimed to be “the best biscuits and gravy

in America!”As I get older, I find that I

become more emotional. I sit on my couch watching the Burns documentary and am surprised at the moments I break into tears at the site of, what feels like, old friends.

Thank you, Ken Burns, for capturing, organizing and shar-ing this important history of the times and music. I am grateful and I know I am not alone.

These are memories I will cherish the rest of my life.

BY CHARLIE LENTZVILLAGER EDITOR

DAYVILLE — Jacob Nurse is one patient quarterback. For the past two seasons Nurse backed up Luke Desaulnier as he led Killingly High to a state title in 2017 and the state semi-finals last season. The quarterback job is finally Nurse’s and he’s making up

for lost time.“Luke was a great quarterback for us,

led us to a state championship at quar-terback. He was a special player,” said Killingly coach Chad Neal. “And Jacob waited his turn. It’s his turn now.”

Nurse is a senior so he has to cram a career’s worth of highlights into one season — he’s off to a good start. Two

weeks ago he tossed a touchdown pass with under one minute left to rally Killingly past Cumberland, R.I., 21-14. Last Friday he helped Killingly defeat Capital Prep 51-12 to lift Killingly’s record to 2-0. Nurse said it’s been a sim-ple formula thus far.

“Just working together. Working as a team,” said Nurse after the win

over Capital Prep. “Holding each other accountable and executing.”

Nurse was efficient in the victory over Capital Prep on Sept. 20. He com-pleted 6-for-9 passes for 166 yards and two touchdowns with no interceptions.

“We’re excited about (Nurse). He had a great preseason. He has a great pocket presence. He makes some good reads. The thing about him is he’s composed

Patience rewarded at Killingly

PUTNAM — With a mix of experience and

some new additions to the lineup, Putnam High girls soccer coach Tommy Derosier looked forward to the season

ahead. The team lost only three seniors, just two starters, from last sea-son’s roster and plenty of talent returns.

“We’ve got pretty much the main core com-ing back. We’re just look-ing forward to competing in every game we play and having a chance,” Derosier said. “We want to go out and win most of our division games and get to the states.”

The Clippers fell to Parish Hill 4-2 on Saturday, Sept. 21. Sienna Ortiz and Rajchel Smardon each scored two goals for Parish Hill. Kayleigh Lyons and Laylah Chavez each scored one goal for Putnam.

Senior Kayleigh Lyons returns to goalkeeper for Putnam but she showed her versatility by also playing in the field and scoring a goal for the Clippers against Parish Hill last Saturday.

“She was never really a soccer player until high school but she picked up. Every year she’s made drastic improvement. And I’m going to use her out on the field this sea-son as well,” Derosier said.

Putnam High’s scoring threats include junior forward Laylah Chavez and her sister, sopho-

more forward Amayah Chavez. Coach Derosier said freshman Bailey Touchette will also be counted on to score.

At midfield, junior Emma Brathwaite will be at center-midfielder, junior Beth Smith will be stationed at left out-side midfielder, Azalei Labonte will be at right outside midfielder.

The defenders include senior middle left back Hannah Smith, senior

left back Haley Cutler, senior right back Jill Gray, and senior outside right back Zoe Hetrick.

Putnam High is next scheduled to play at Tourtellotte Memorial at 3:45 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 27.

WOODSTOCK — Luis Miranda, Nick Bedard, and Travis White had little reason to believe their senior season on the gridiron at Woodstock Academy would be memorable— the Centaurs were coming off a 1-9 record. Instead —Woodstock has made believ-ers out of the doubters. The Centaurs knocked off Ledyard in the season opener two weeks ago and rallied past Windham 19-8 last Saturday at Bentley Athletic Complex. Miranda and Co. have something to believe in.

“I’ve been in the program for four

years now, been on the varsity team, seeing everything. This is a different season. Different team. We have a dif-ferent mentality, different attitude,” Miranda said. “I’m just so proud of how far this team has come, where we’ve come in the last few years.”

Perhaps a different mentality led to a different outcome against Windham — a team that whipped Woodstock 47-0 last season.

“We have a lot of guys who are hurting. Football’s a violent game. We were mentally and physically tough throughout the game and we shut them down in the end,” said Miranda, after catching four passes for 27 yards.

“The leadership, from the captains down, we have one goal as a team. We’re on the same page. We’re just trying to execute.”

The Centaurs trailed Windham 8-5 at halftime and grabbed the lead for good with 4:27 left in the third quarter on a 29-yard touchdown pass from sophomore quarterback Ethan Davis to Bedard.

“I think they were discouraged at halftime because we made so many mistakes in the first half,” said Woodstock coach Sean Saucier. “They were a little frustrated with them-selves. Then to be able to come out in the second half and really play tough defense and punch one in and secure the win — that’s the mental toughness I was talking about.”

Woodstock closed the scoring with Gavin Savoie’s 10-yard touchdown run and Aidan Morin’s point after for a 19-8 lead with 1:57 left in the game.

Davis, a sophomore quarterback in his first season starting for Woodstock, completed 10-of-17 passes for 104 yards and one touchdown with one inter-ception. The touchdown was a 29-yard scoring toss to Bedard.

“It wasn’t his best game. It was a tough sophomore game I would call it,” coach Saucier said. “He did make mistakes and didn’t always make the correct read but that’s what makes him who he is, not letting that derail him or distract him, to have the where-withal with four guys chasing you out of bounds, to keep your head up and see Nick Bedard downfield is just a tremendous play.”

Bedard caught four passes for 61 yards including his 29-yard touch-down catch and rushed three times for 29 yards. Bedard said this is a different Woodstock team than in year’s past.

“I think it’s the energy. Just hav-ing everybody together this year. In the past few years everybody felt like they were all trying to be the star. Everybody coming together and working together to just make things happen and that’s been huge for the program this year,” Bedard said. “I’ve played football for eight years of my life. I’ve never had a winning season. Going up 2-0 to start the season has been an unbelievable feeling.”

White is Woodstock’s middle line-

backer and fullback. The Centaurs shut out Windham in the second half.

“It’s almost too good to be true at this point. The difference between going 1-9 last season and 2-0 is just unreal. And the work we’ve put in, we’re looking to get more,” White said. “After what happened last year we just decided cumulatively we’re going to go to workouts, we’re going to get stronger, we’re going to bond as a team. That’s where we’re really show-ing our cohesiveness. It’s too early to say what (record) we’re going to go now but I believe this team has the potential to do good things.”

Woodstock is next scheduled to trav-el to New Haven to face Amistad on Saturday, Sept. 28, with kickoff set for noon.

Griswold’s Noah Urena opened the scoring in the first minute. Ten minutes later Jacob Blanchard scored to make it 2-0. Off a corner kick for Griswold, a handball was called in the box against Killingly and Matthew Ladd buried the PK to give Griswold a 3-0 lead at the half.

Killingly began its rally at three min-utes of the second half on a goal by Aiden Keech. Yhree minutes later Evan Townsend scored to cut Killingly’s defi-cit to 3-2. Pablo Yotti scored in the 66th minute to tie it. There was no over-time played because of the threat of Eastern Equine Encephalitis and the game ended in a draw.

HigH scHool roundup


PUTNAM — Nathan Jewell and Ryan Langlois take over as co-coach-es for Tourtellotte Memorial’s boys soccer team. The Tigers’ record was 0-3-1 through four games Tourtellotte tied Putnam High 0-0 last Saturday at St. Marie

Greenhalgh Complex and coach Langlois said much work lies ahead.

“We’re on a better structure this year. No more through-balls and one-man shows. We’re passing a lot better. The defense is working together a lot better, defi-nitely better than last year,” Langlois said.

The goal is to qualify for the Class S state tour-

nament. Tourtellotte fin-ished with a record of 5-12 last season.

“We still are in the running for states. We’re just a few games in. We need a lot more wins,” Langlois said. “I want states. I want to see us go to states. I would like another flag on the bas-ketball court for the kids, especially for the seniors that are leaving us.”

Senior Mac Monahan and senior Nima Sherpa are two of the Tigers main scoring threats. Senior center midfield-er Anthony Smith and senior Robert Gatzke will be the anchors at mid-field.

“(Smith and Gatzke) control three quarter of the field going forward. They are amazing at it. I am blessed to have

them at that position,” Langlois said.

The Tigers defense is a work in progress as Tourtellotte juggles some injuries. On defense, sophomore Ryan Barbour will be the Tigers’ sweep-er while senior Devin Dalpe is out with a con-cussion. Dalpe is expect-ed to return and will be at sweeper. At stopper will be senior Aydan Lavallee but will likely shuffle to another position. Senior Jacob Bergeron returns and is the goalkeeper.

Tourtellotte is next scheduled to play on Wednesday, Oct. 2, at Griswold High. The Tigers next home game is scheduled for Saturday, Oct. 5, against Plainfield High, with kickoff set for 10 a.m. at Tourtellotte Memorial’s field in Thompson.

DAYVILLE — So far, so good. The season is young but Killingly High girls soccer coach Jim Lackner likes what he sees. Killingly defeated Bacon Academy 2-0 on Monday night to raise its record to 2-0-1. Although Killingly led Bacon 1-0 at the half, Lackner chal-lenged his team to lift its game.

“They were beating us to 50/50 balls in the first half. I told the girls we’ve got to set the tone in the second half,” Lackner said. “We had to take it to them. Second half the girls had a different mentality. They were winning 50/50 balls. They were hustling, shifting, work-ing together. We got a nice shutout tonight.”

Junior Abbie Burgess scored one goal in the first half and notched an assist on freshman Casey Beauregard’s goal in the second half in Killingly’s victory over Bacon Academy on Sept. 23 at Killingly High School. Just a freshman, Beauregard has been a nice addition to the roster.

“(Beauregard) is very knowl-edgeable. She knows exactly where she needs to be on the field,” Lackner said. “She just put the ball in the net. If we can

get some scoring punch from her, if we can get eight to 10 goals this year that would be great for us.”

Killingly was able to per-severe despite the absence of senior midfielder Haylee Chester, who missed the Bacon game with a sprained ankle. Chester is expected to return to

the lineup.“We were down a couple

girls, one of our main players was out with a sprained ankle,” Lackner said. “I like the way we battled today. I thought we looked more like the team that I saw in preseason. Defensively, shifting and working together, and it allows us — when the

other team makes mistakes — to counter quickly. I’m liking what I’m seeing. The girls are working together.”

Sophia Moore notched an assist on Burgess’s goal against Bacon. Killingly led Bacon 11-4 in shots. Goalkeeper Taylyn Lemoine made for saves for Killingly.

The loss dropped Bacon’s record to 2-2-1. Killingly is next scheduled to play at Griswold High on Friday, Sept. 27, with the game set to begin at 3:45 p.m. Killingly’s next home game is set for Friday, Oct. 4, against Woodstock Academy. The season is young, but so far, so good.

“The idea is we’ve got to work together defensively. All 11 people, making sure we’re shifting, taking away the pass-es. So when we get the ball we can quick counter and we’re in the position we need to be,” Lackner said. “For us this year, as long as our defense holds up, we play solid like we did tonight, that’s a great shut-out against a good Bacon team. We’re going to be tough to beat in any game.”

PUTNAM — Putnam High’s boys soccer team went 0-3-1 through its first four games. After three losses to open the season the Clippers battled Tourtellotte Memorial to a scoreless tie last Saturday, Sept. 21, at St. Marie

Greenhalgh Complex. Coach Jon Miller saw good things ahead despite the lack of wins early on.

“Our boys are finally starting to play like a team. With so many inexperi-enced players it takes longer. We’re getting there,” Miller said. “We had a tough opening stretch. We had three games in five days. Two of those games

were against Class M schools. Now we’re playing against schools we should compete with. You can see the improve-ment.”

Putnam High goalkeeper Colby Livingston recorded his first shutout of his career against Tourtellotte on

Saturday, recording 14 saves. The coach said the defense has been solid with senior Kyle Haynes leading the way.

“If we were 4-0 I could definitely make an argument that Kyle Hanes should be All-State. With us sitting at 1-3-1 that

kind of goes unnoticed but he’s that good,” Miller said.

Miller said several other players have been solid.

“Everywhere else — Jack Lomax, Johnny Espinosa up top playing strong, Karson Bates has been all over the field, he’s very intelligent throughout the game,” Miller said. “Mike Ionkin and Justin St. Martin playing defense and defensive-mid, they’re starting to work together better. Reese Gardner, playing left ‘D’, he hasn’t played in a few years, he’s picking it up. The rust is finally disappearing for him.”

Putnam is next scheduled to play at St. Bernard at 11 a.m. on Saturday, Sept. 28. The Clippers return home to play host to Parish Hill under the lights with a 6 p.m. start on Monday, Sept. 30 at St. Marie Greenhalgh Complex in Putnam.

“They just have to be consistent and continue to improve,” Miller said. “This group is learning, which has been a key focus in practice. They need to learn. They need to be willing to make chang-es and improvements. That’s the only way they’re going to get better.”

back there,” said Neal. “He took some shots tonight and got rid of the ball and put it on target.”

Nurse connected on a 27-yard touchdown pass to Josh Heaney, a 23-yard scoring pass

to Nate Keefe, and a 52-yard touchdown strike to Kameron Crowe. Killingly has tradition-ally been a running team but it has talented receivers.

“We’ve run the ball so much over the years that people are going to expect that. But we’re still going to be a run team but I feel comfortable putting the ball in the air,” Neal said.

Heaney finished with three catches for 63 yards and one touchdown and rushed for 23 yards on two carries.

“We were very diverse tonight between Jackson (Lopes), Josh Heaney running the ball, Kameron Crowe run-ning the ball, Jack Sharpe run-ning the ball — that makes us a lot stronger as we move

forward,” Neal said. “Lopes rushed for 85 yards

and one touchdown on 12 car-ries and caught one pass for 28 yards. Jack Sharpe rushed nine times for 70 yards. With a solid receiving corps and capa-ble rushers it appears Nurse has a lot of weapons.

“I love the offense we’ve got right now. I love the receiv-ers. I love the running backs — especially the offensive line, they’re all great,” Nurse said.

Coach Neal said Killingly’s offense has been versatile.

“We’re trying to be a little bit more diverse. We don’t have that pounding ground runner that we’ve had in the past. We have to get guys the ball more in space and stretch the field both vertically and horizontal-ly,” Neal said.

Neal likes what he’s seen so far although the season is young. Improvement was made between week one and week two. Capital Prep quarterback Solomon Barlow completed 13-of-28 passes for two touch-downs with two interceptions. Josh Heaney made the two interceptions for Killingly, returning one 55 yards for a touchdown.

“I thought offensively we were more efficient. I thought the line did a great job. Our blocking from the receivers, our passing game was much improved moving forward. Defensively, we had some open-field tackle issues, we were missing tackles and stuff and like that,” Neal said. “But (Capital Prep) has a great quar-

terback (Solomon Barlow). They’ve got a lot of speed. We held them in check I thought.”

Makhi Buckly caught two passes for 82 yards including a 51-yard touchdown reception for Capital Prep (1-1). Killingly (2-0) is next scheduled to play host to Berlin at 6:30 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 27.

Killingly last faced Berlin in the Class M state playoff semi-finals in 2017. Killingly defeat-ed Berlin 49-7 and went on to defeat Joel Barlow 41-14 in the 2017 championship game. Neal said Berlin will likely remem-ber the last time it visited Killingly High.

“They’re going to be ready. They’re a great football pro-gram. They were in the state finals last year against St. Joes,” Neal said. “It’s a big matchup at home next Friday night. We’ve got to get better. We’re going to look at the film. And if we keep getting better and everybody does their job we’ll come to play.”

Nurse was a sophomore when Killingly High last played Berlin and was still waiting his turn. Now he’s just trying to do his job.

“I think we had this expec-tation at the beginning of the year,” Nurse said. “And going into this season we’re execut-ing well and doing what we have to do.”
