Woodstock Villager

BY AMELIA MCDADEFOR THE VILLAGER

PUTNAM — Every four years around prom, Putnam High students reenact the impact of what drinking and driving can have on someone’s life. Putnam High School’s Students Against Distracted Driving (SADD) host-ed a mock car crash on May 23 at the school.

The entire high school walked down to the football field where student volunteers in white masks held signs against dis-tracted driving — about 30 volun-teers in total. Upon arrival at the field students saw two destroyed cars in the parking lot. That alone was intimidating before the student-actors took their cue — screams could be heard and goosebumps ensued. The police showed up, then ambulances,

and even the fire department. The performance lasted an hour and a half . Afterward stu-dents gathered on the bleach-ers and the actors explained the aftermath of the accident. This year’s performers were: drunk driver, senior Michael DiCollela, his passenger who went through the windshield and died on the scene was sopho-more Bethany Smith. DiCollela’s backseat passenger, who was the hysterical one crying and yelling, was junior Hannah Smith (Bethany’s sister), and second back seat passenger was sophomore Abby St. Martin. The car that was “hit” was driv-en by senior Troy Davis. His passenger, who went through the windshield, was senior Jane Vongvirath. The back seat passenger, who was para-lyzed on impact, was sophomore Mackenzie Peloquin. The sec-

ond back seat injured passenger was sophomore Emma Rudman.

Lisa Mooney is Putnam High School’s social worker and SADD advisor and she explained the value of the mock car crash. “This was our third time doing this mock crash because we like to do it every four years and have all grades participate. We even invited the eighth graders to attend as well because the next time they see this mock crash they will be seniors in high school,” Mooney said. “I choose to do mock crashes every four years because if you do mock crashes too often stu-dents get sick of seeing them and just don’t take it seriously.” Also participating were vid-eographers Samuel Williams and Greyson Anderson, pho-tographers Kayla Anderson,

WOODSTOCK — The Kentucky Derby with all of its fine array of hats did not hold a candle to the models on the runway of seventh annual The Sassy Chapeau Hat Show. The fashion show got off to an exuberant start. One by one the models sashayed across the stage in their colorful hats that were adorned with feathers, bows, fabric and other embel-lishments.

All of the hats were mod-eled by local first responders

— nurses from the emergency room at Day Kimball Hospital, Police, Fire Fighters and EMTs.

The Sassy Chapeau event celebrated its seventh annu-al fundraiser on May 23 at the Mansion at Ball Hill. Community members came together to help support women and girls in the Northeast sec-tion of Connecticut. Proceeds from the evening will go to the Northeast CT Women & Girls Fund. This fund, located in the Northeastern Connecticut region, is one of four funds and that has been in existence

Eastford Memorial Day Parade

Martinez at Danielson Veterans Coffeehouse

DANIELSON — Natalie Martinez, Veterans Outreach Program Specialist will speak at the Danielson Veterans Coffeehouse on June 4. Vet Center counselors and outreach staff, many of whom are veterans themselves, are experienced and pre-pared to discuss the tragedies of war, loss, grief and transition after trau-ma. Vet Centers guide veterans and their families through many of the major adjustments in lifestyle that often occur after a Veteran returns from combat. Services for a veteran may include individual and group counseling in areas such as Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), alcohol and drug assessment, and suicide prevention referrals. All ser-vices are free of cost and are strictly confidential. The Coffeehouse (open to veterans only) opens at 8:30 a.m. and the speakers program starts at approximately 9:15 a.m. For ques-tions about the coffeehouse see our website dvcoffeehouse.com or our facebook page Danielson Veterans Coffeehouse.

EASTFORD — Eastford held its annual Memorial Day Parade on Monday, May 27. The town honored fallen veterans, beginning with mil-itary honors at the General Lyon and Grove Cemeteries. Then the parade moved from Eastford Elementary School to the town’s Veterans Memorial. Eastford American Legion Post 203 veterans and the Connecticut Army National Guard provided honor guards, military salute and a special flyover by the 103rd airlift wing. In addition to the cele-bration with floats, a march-ing band, classic cars, and scooter fun — the town also honored Jean Hixson, one of the first Navy women to serve on an aircraft carrier and this year’s veteran of special recog-nition in Eastford.

Sassy Chapeau event benefits Women and Girl’s Fund

WOODSTOCK — The Sassy Chapeau fundraiser on May 21 was a big success as first responders strutted their stuff on the runway as they showed off their hats provided by Salmagundi of Boston. Proceeds from the fundraiser went to Northeast Connecticut Women & Girls Fund. Grants are awarded to various non-profits through-out Northeastern Ct to help empower women and girls to be all they can be.

Now that tax season has come and gone, and you are able to see the flowers start-ing to bloom you might be beginning to think about the spring projects or annu-al cleaning for around the house. It is the perfect time to reflect on your life and your overall financial pic-ture and ask yourself if your financial life is secure. Is your estate plan is buttoned up? Have you looked at your will to ensure your legacy can carry on and support your family in your absence? If you have not looked at your estate plan lately, that is a risk that could hurt your family.

There are many tools you can use to achieve your estate planning goals, but a will is probably the most vital. Even if you’re young or your estate is modest, you should always have a legal-ly valid and up-to-date will. This is especially important if you have minor children because, in many states, your will is the only legal way you can name a guard-ian for them. Although a will doesn’t have to be drafted by an attorney to be valid, seek-ing an attorney’s help can ensure that your will accom-plishes what you intend.

Wills avoid intesta-cy: Probably the greatest advantage of a will is that it allows you to avoid intesta-cy. That is, with a will you get to choose who will get your property, rather than leave it up to state law. State intestate succession laws, in effect, provide a will for you if you die without one. This “intestate’s will” distributes your property, in general terms, to your closest blood relatives in proportions dic-tated by law. However, the state’s distribution may not be what you would have wanted. Intestacy also has other disadvantages, which include the possibility that your estate will owe more taxes than it would if you had created a valid will.

Wills distribute proper-ty according to your wish-es: Wills allow you to leave bequests (gifts) to anyone you want. You can leave your property to a surviving spouse, a child, other rela-tives, friends, a trust, a char-ity, or anyone you choose. There are some limits, however, on how you can distribute property using a will. For instance, your spouse may have certain rights with respect to your property, regardless of the provisions of your will.

Gifts through your will take the form of specific bequests (e.g., an heirloom, jewelry, furniture, or cash), general bequests, or a resid-uary bequest of what’s left after your other gifts.

Wills allow you to nom-inate a guardian for your minor children: In many states, a will is your only means of stating who you want to act as legal guard-ian for your minor children if you die. You can name a personal guardian, who takes personal custody of the children, and a property guardian, who manages the children’s assets. This can be the same person or dif-ferent people. The probate court has final approval, but courts will usually approve your choice of guardian unless there are compelling reasons not to.

Wills allow you to nom-inate an executor: A will allows you to designate a person as your executor to act as your legal represen-tative after your death. An executor carries out many estate settlement tasks, including locating your will, collecting your assets, paying legitimate creditor claims, paying any taxes owed by your estate, and distributing any remaining

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Just finished the annual roadside pick-up in the Town of Thompson — this is to the individual who drinks Mr. Boston Bourbon while driving over Route 197. I pick up over 50 nips, half pint and pint size containers in a half mile that you tossed out of your vehi-cle, along with the rest of the other alcoholic beverage containers and usual take-out paper items. Someone even left a six pack with four full bottles of beer in the church parking lot. Though I wonder if this message ever gets to you individuals, as I imagine that you care

less about your environment — let alone about what impact your trash has locally. We have a great number of volunteers who walk the road edge each spring, hoping that one day we will find little or no trash. Please, start today with keeping any and all litter in your vehicle until you get to a trash container at home. Thank you to all who volunteered in the northeast corner of Thompson.

Don’t dump garbage in my town

Most Saturdays are super busy for many of us, especially one wrapped into a Memorial Day weekend. So much to do and only a day or two, or three, to do it. I had the extreme pleasure this past Saturday to just enjoy the day. My to-do list is ongoing and I did need to be at work for 4 p.m,, so I made myself stop. Just stop and absorb the day, from our front porch, the yard and gardens we’ve been working so hard on. Enjoying our comfy home that we clean, repair and leave each day to continue caring for.

I was inspired by the gorgeous sky, the gentle breeze and tweeting birds. I had to stop myself several times from the endless proj-ects, mundane maintenance and distractions of life that keep us too busy to just absorb the

beautiful bounty of a sunny Saturday in our beautiful Northeast Corner. It was so good for my soul, so inspiring to take some time to just enjoy and to be grateful for all that we have. Watching the earth come to life again in New England is very special, arduous, but special. I’m again convinced of my God, who created all of this. In our beautiful, Quiet Corner, we are so blessed to be away from the urban issues of over-population, crime and chaos, I am grateful.

And grateful for the Villager to share the thoughts and feelings of their readers.

Wills: the Cornerstone

of an estate plan

Say ahWhen I am tipped back in the dentist’s

chair, I always think of Henry. Henry sat next to me in first grade. We were seated alphabetically in rows and he’s last name was just before mine. I didn’t want to sit next to him. He didn’t smell good and he didn’t smile very much. I’d like to remember myself as a compas-sionate little girl, but that’s not true. Henry comes to mind because of his teeth.

When I started elementary school there was no school lunch. Everyone brought lunch boxes or bags from home and ate them in our classrooms. I think there were containers of tepid milk to drink, but I didn’t touch the stuff. I noticed that Henry never had anything but two slices of white bread for his lunch. There was no filling. In my memory, he put the white paste that we used for art projects on his bread and ate it. My daughters insist that I exag-gerate, and I do, but I think this memory is accurate because of the vividness of what followed.

One day I had an extra cookie. It was chocolate and I gave it to Henry. He took it eagerly and stuffed the cookie into his mouth. Then he started to howl. As I remember, his mouth was filled with sticky black stuff that filled every cavity. Every tooth had decay and the sugary cookie caused him great pain. He cried. I put my head down on my

desk. The teacher washed his mouth out with water from the bubbler.

All my life I’ve been fortunate to have access to good dentists. Recently I need-ed more extensive work and went to a specialist who works in our area several days a week. After eliminating potato chips and nuts, two of my major food groups, and practicing a few procedures, I am completely well again. In the many minutes I spent in the dentist’s chair, I thought about Henry and all that goes along with our teeth.

My parents both had false teeth from the time before I was born. They fussed about them sometimes and had them repaired and adjusted, but it was a com-mon thing for their generation to have false teeth by late middle age.

Of course their teeth looked good, there were fake after all, but imag-ine the discomfort of having artificial teeth. Today they would probably have implants, crowns and bridges rather than total replacement.

I read that far fewer people have den-tal insurance than health insurance. That probably partially explains why people suffer so much and put off getting treated. Some have a horror of dentistry. I had a relative who was so frightened of dentists that she didn’t go for years. Eventually she decided to take an anti- anxiety pill before each appointment and proceeded to get her teeth fixed. She looked and felt better.

For nearly I week I couldn’t smile because of the stitches in the front of my mouth. I went to several events and noticed that not being able to smile felt odd. When meeting an old friend or being introduced to someone new, I couldn’t fully express how I felt. I kept my lips pursed over my teeth and even began to hold my hand up to my face in an awkward Geisha-like move. My personality was being impacted by the condition of my mouth.

Henry moved away before we finished elementary school. Wherever he went, I hope his adult teeth are better and he is able to smile. He made me grateful for dentistry.

In reading Tami Jo Wykes’ letter to the edi-tor, “Should some non-profits pay taxes?”, in the 24 May 2019 edition of the Villager, I was disappointed that the author chose to support her arguments with unproven rumors and outright lies about the Clinton Foundation. There have been some legitimate questions raised about the Foundation’s transparency and possible conflicts of interest by Hillary Clinton when she was secretary of state. However, Ms. Wykes would have the reader believe that the Foundation paid for Chelsea Clinton’s wedding and that the Foundation squandered more that 95% of donations it received for aid to Haiti after a devastating earthquake in 2010. These rumors and false-hoods have been promoted by Fox News and other right-wing propaganda media which have been proven time after time to lie. It’s illuminating that radical right-wing groups in this country and abroad, such as the auto-cratic government of Hungary, have attacked George Soros’ philanthropic activities. Your readers should know the facts. Charity Navigator, a major charity assessment organization, gave the Clinton Foundation its highest rating in 2016 after reviewing the foundation’s financial records and tax

statements. In 2016, another charity watch-dog, CharityWatch, gave the Foundation an A rating and found that 88% of its money goes to its charitable mission. Rather than smear the Clinton Foundation, Ms. Wykes might have cited the Donald J. Trump Foundation to support her argument. The State of New York sued it, Trump and his three adult children alleging “persistently illegal conduct” in using the Foundation’s money. Late last year, the Trump Foundation agreed to shut down under court supervi-sion. Among other things, the Foundation made illegal campaign contributions, paid to settle law suits against Trump and pur-chased goods and services to personally benefit Trump such as portraits of him-self and an autographed football helmet. Unfortunately, false information is ram-pant and consumers of media are chal-lenged to discern fact from fiction. Groups that want to sow dissension, including foreign governments, are trying to divide us. Each of us is entitled to his/her own opinion but not to his/her own facts.

Clinton Foundation misrepresented

Taxpayers should pay attention to Woodstock Academy’s budgetDave Richardson’s recent guest

column in the Villager made a very good point. The recent issue with Woodstock Academy’s mil-lion-dollar-plus bill to the send-ing towns is an example. Despite major donations to the Academy, the trustees still claim the need to assess sending towns for over-looked capital projects – all per-fectly predictable. But it may be more than fiscal mismanagement on the Academy’s part.

The annual tuition bill sent to boards of education has been, for the most part, a number thrown into the annual budget as a must-pay item. Even though the boards have representation on the Academy’s Board of Trustees, it seems that there has been little analysis of the tuition bill in years past. Of course there are operational and capital costs associated with the running of the high school. But they have never been examined in detail until now. Those internal, capital costs, hidden or not, have always been peri-odic expenses to the taxpayers. And yes, as far as Woodstock goes, these fall under Proposition 46.

This year it’s different, by error or design. Chris Sanford, Head of School of the high school, made presentations to the sending towns’ Selectmen about the need for funds to cover capital costs. Suddenly the capi-tal costs escaped from the tuition budget. Now for some reason they were concerns of Selectmen, not the Boards of Education who contract with the Academy. Divide and con-quer? Muddy the waters? Take advantage of voter apathy? For a million-dollar project the communication has been fractured and limited, as least with our town. Working together as good neighbors to solve a prob-lem? Nah. It seems like it’s the Academy at Woodstock rather than The Woodstock Academy.

I have constantly stated that Woodstock has no business (and no obligation) to fund

capital needs of the Academy due to its fiscal negligence. Mr. Richardson has opposed the cost for another reason – the internals of the project are really a recur-ring cost that squarely falls under the constraints of Proposition 46. And our town attorney’s review of the Academy’s request echoes that view – and finds it permissible if

not a periodic expense. Since the Academy wants to spread this bill over several years, it may be improper to pay as a capital cost. Doesn’t matter who’s right here – every argument translates to no special funding to Woodstock Academy.

Our town budgets – general government and education – were funded up to the Prop 46 maximum when submitted to the voters at referendum. Three hundred and sixty one Woodstock voters turned out and approved both budgets. It’s over. Done. All funds for next year have been allocated.

Interestingly, in a letter dated May 9 sent to the Board of Selectmen by Chris Sanford, the Academy now asks if the town should pay the assessment from general funds or if it should be added to the Board of Education’s tuition bill. It might have been nice if Mr. Sanford had considered that option as our town was developing its budgets, as there is no more money in the well. And a new “unantic-ipated” $213,000 expense to the Board of Education’s operations would devastate pro-grams. You might wonder why the Board of Selectmen and the Board of Education didn’t address that when proposing their budgets. I did. There were no clear answers.

I urge taxpayers to start attending Selectmen’s and Finance Board meetings. The next Board of Finance Meeting is June 11th at 7 p.m. and this issue will be discussed. Again, the disclaimer. I sit on the Board of Finance and the opinions expressed may or may not reflect those of the Board.

assets to your beneficiaries. Like nam-ing a guardian, the probate court has final approval but will usually approve whomever you nominate.

Wills specify how to pay estate taxes and other expenses: The way in which estate taxes and other expenses are divided among your heirs is generally determined by state law unless you direct otherwise in your will. To ensure that the specific bequests you make to your beneficiaries are not reduced by taxes and other expenses, you can pro-vide in your will that these costs be paid from your residuary estate. Or, you can specify which assets should be used or

sold to pay these costs.Wills can create a testamentary trust:

You can create a trust in your will, known as a testamentary trust, that comes into being when your will is probated. Your will sets out the terms of the trust, such as who the trustee is, who the beneficiaries are, how the trust is funded, how the distributions should be made, and when the trust termi-nates. This can be especially important if you have a spouse or minor children who are unable to manage assets or property themselves.

Wills can fund a living trust: A living trust is a trust that you create during your lifetime. If you have a living trust, your will can transfer any assets that were not transferred to the trust while you were alive. This is known as a pour

over will because the will “pours over” your estate to your living trust.

Will provisions can be challenged in court: Although it doesn’t happen often, the validity of your will can be chal-lenged, usually by an unhappy benefi-ciary or a disinherited heir. Some com-mon claims state a lack of testamentary capacity when you signed the will are that you were unduly influenced by another individual when you drew up the will.

Plan well: The due diligence of check-ing your estate plan once a year to ensure that you and your family are covered can reduce the risk to your family and create security to your loved ones in unforeseen events. As we have discussed this month, this is just one of the risks you may face in your finances.

We approach risks and challenges in your plan with a wholistic approach to identify your goals and create a plan to achieve your financial goals.

Farewell to St. Alban’s Church in DanielsonThis week when I attend-

ed the Killingly Brooklyn Interfaith Council meeting, I learned with great sadness that St. Alban’s Episcopal Church on Broad Street in Danielson would have its last service on Sunday, May 26. I thought that I would write a little about the history of the church in this column.

The Killingly Historical and Genealogical Society files contained a booklet from the Centennial Celebration of the church in 1965 (June 20th). “Though Episcopal services had been held in Danielsonville as early as 1862 by mission-ary clergymen, St. Alban’s was probably the fourth religious group to be estab-lished in the community, the Congregational, Methodist, and Roman Catholic organizations preceding it. The founding of St. Alban’s was due largely to Mr. Willard Day of Day Street in East Brooklyn. Mr. Day, a prosperous farmer and later a member of Connecticut’s General Assembly, had long felt the need for an Episcopal Church in Danielsonville, though he was a parishioner of Trinity Church in Brooklyn which he attended faithfully each Sunday with his wife, Catherine Brown Day, and their six children. However, in 1864, when plans were dis-closed for the construction of ‘new’ Trinity in Brooklyn Center, Mr. Day promptly put into action his conviction that an Episcopal Society would succeed in Danielsonville. He enlisted the support both of

his Danielsonville business friends and of the missionary clergyman who had recently settled in the community.

“The business friends were five---among them, Oliver Phelps Jacobs, a prominent insurance agent and hardware dealer; James Perkins, a dry goods mer-chant; and Earl Martin, attorney-at-law and later a judge of the Superior Court of Connecticut. The clergy-man was the Reverend Charles Collard Adams. Mr. Adams’ enthusiasm brought about the purchase of Westfield Academy; and his energetic solicitation of funds through-out the state, together with the generosity of Mr. Day, made possible the appropriate refur-nishing of the building which was named St. Alban’s in honor of England’s first mar-tyr. The first service was held on Christmas Eve, 1865.”

A typed article by Mrs. Sidney Marland in the church files at the Center provided a little more. Under Reverend Cornelius G. Bristol, who arrived in 1889, a “new church” fund was started and by July 1891 had reached $10,000. “That summer a contract was given to Charles H. Kelley of Putnam to build the present St. Alban’s Church. The masonry work was done by John A. Gilbert of Danielsonville. The stone used in the construction of the church as quarried in Oneco. The cornerstone of the new Church was laid on September 22, 1891…The new church was first opened for services on

Easter Day, April 17, 1892. The Rt. Rev. John Williams, Bishop of Connecticut, consecrated the Church on August 22, 1893.”

Clergymen of Church as listed in the Centennial book-let were as follows: Charles Collard Adams (1865-1866); Warren N. Ackley (1866-1870); George Coggeshall ( 1870-1872); Alfred Lee Rice (1872-1873); Arthur T. Parsons (1874-1880); Visiting clergymen (1880-1883); George R. Warner (1884-1889); Cornelius G. Bristol (1889-1893); George A. Alcott ( 1893-1904); Scott Kidder (1904-1906); William Howard Davis (1907-1910); James Harding George, Jr. (1910-1917); Albert Jepson (1917-1924); Leonard Richards (1924-1928); John Rees Jones (1928-1952); Warren E. Fowler (1952-1955); Arthur W. Leaker (1956-).” David Parachini had been leading the congregation when it was closed.

I had a wonderful time this week going to the kindergarten class at St. James School with a number of my “old-fashioned” toys. They seemed amazed that there really was a time “before television, computers, and cell phone games.” How many of you have ever played with a kaleidoscope and been fasci-

nated as the colorful patterns changed again and again? I’m sure many of you have tried a variety of tops. Have you ever played with a “ball and cup” where the ball is attached to the cup with a string and you must get it into the cup? I also took a similar toy with a wooden ring, string, and dowel. It’s more difficult to master those toys than you would think. A little book-

let entitled Fun and Games of Long Ago by Chandler Press (no author given) noted, “Cup and ball was the favorite pas-time at the Court of Henry III, of France.” According to Wikipedia Henry III ruled from 1575 to 1589 so it was indeed an old game. I’m always looking for games to share with the children. It would not have been safe to take along pick up sticks or jacks but we have those at the Center. Apparently my maternal grandfather liked jacks so much as a young man that he took the ball with him when he went visiting so no one could play without him. I also own wooden hoops which boys would push along with a wooden rods and the game “Three Graces” which older girls often played, using two crossed sticks to toss a small hoop to a companion. Those were for older children and you may have seen them played at Old Sturbridge Village. I know that I’ll be trying to add to my “collection” before the Tomato Festival in September. If you have any small old toys that you no longer use, please think of donating them

to the Killingly Historical and Genealogical Society so others might enjoy them.

“You cannot kiss some-one with this type of hat on because it gets in the way, so this is how air kisses started,” she joked.

Then she took a more

serious attitude and put on her own version of a Police hat, decorated in lots of jewels.

“Tonight we honor our first responders and all they do for the communi-ty,” she said.

She spoke about the program and how the hat show raises money which goes to organizations that help women and girls to become all that they can be.

Laura Moorehead is one of the Steering Committee Chairs of the Northeast Connecticut Woman and Girl’s Fund.

“The main focus is to award grants every year to non-profits in Northeastern, Conn,” said Moorehead. “Grant money from 2018 went to multiple different pro-grams that help women and girls.”

These included Access Community Action

Agency, Girl Scouts, United Community Family Services, Daily Bread of Putnam, Natchaug Hospital, Northeast Opportunities for Wellness, United Services, Westcott-Wilcox Elderly Residential Housing, Arc of Quinebaug Valley and Windham County 4-H Foundation.

This year non-profits will submit their propos-als and then the Grants Committee will review them. After making their choices, they make their recommendations known to the Steering Committee. From there the Community Foundation reviews their choices for approv-al. Chosen recipients are then notified and are announced at the annu-al Founders Event in December.

Cruisin’ on Saturday nightBY KAREN BUTERA

FOR THE VILLAGER

POMFRET — If you love spending your spare time checking out vintage cars and pickups, then check out the Tri-State Cruisers on Saturday eve-nings. This season started on April 27 and runs through September 28. They feature vehicles from Connecticut, Massachusetts and Rhode Island. The event takes place in Pomfret on the grounds of Loos & Co. — from 3 pm to dark.

Last Saturday, May 25, the car show was packed with both vintage vehicles and spectators who took advantage of the line- up, taking photos of some of their favorite vehicles.

David Johnson, from Putnam, brought his 1931 Ford Pickup. Before the pickup he seemed to have had a love affair with Model A’s, owning seven. He also owned a 1930 Model A Coupe Stock, never cut up, for 15 years.

“One was a Model A Ford pickup that I gave to my son,” said Johnson. “I told him I would give him a car once he has a garage to keep it in.”

Once his son contacted Johnson, tell-ing him that he owned a home with a

garage, he drove the car about 2,200 miles to Colorado to drop it off to his son.

Johnson has always loved vintage autos and started in 1964 with a 1933 Chevrolet Coupe. His wife also enjoyed the vehicles and never minded Johnson working on them.

“The cars are always kept in a garage. The new cars can go in the driveway,” Johnson said.

He only drives them from April 1, through October 31, in order to protect them from the winter elements.

Johnson participates in about 50 shows a year. The farthest away he has ever driven to a show is about 250 miles to Maine. On Saturday evening, Johnson was at the car cruise with his 12-year-old grandson, Patrick.

When asked if his grandson will also receive a vintage car of his own one day, Johnson responded, “Yes.” Patrick enjoys many different types of vehicles. “I always liked the older cars, but there are so many to choose from, it is hard to pick out my favorite,” he said.

For more information on the Tri-State Cruisers, or other dates and loca-tions other than a Saturday, go to www.Tri-Statecruisers.com.

Pomfret Boy Scout Troop honors Memorial DayPOMFRET — Boy Scout Troop in

Pomfret, Troop 26, was very busy last weekend in preparation for Memorial Day. The boys placed flags on two cem-eteries in town, decorated the float for the veterans in preparation of the town’s parade. On May 26 the boys helped the Fire Department wash the firetrucks, inside and out and, of course, they marched in the parade on Memorial Day in Pomfret.

BY CHARLIE LENTZVILLAGER EDITOR

WOODSTOCK — Linda Spooner raced for a fallen hero on Memorial Day. On a sky-blue Monday morning when we remembered those who ran straight into peril — Spooner saluted Matthew D. Mason with her every step at the 39th annual Woodstock Memorial Day 10K.

“I was really honored to run for him,” Spooner said. “We’re just blessed to be here because we’re free because of them.”

Spooner is a familiar face on the local running circuit and her trophy case is filled with first-place medals. Her father, Roland Houle, is a Vietnam veteran so she’s particularly attuned to commemorations like Memorial Day. Roland and his wife, Flora, were on hand at Woodstock Common to root for their daughter.

A Killingly High alumnus, Spooner was determined to honor a member of the U.S. Armed Forces so she visit-ed the “Wear Blue” website. She was randomly assigned Mason’s name and wore his likeness on her back during the Memorial Day 10K. Mason was a Navy Seal, a chief petty offi-cer and Navy Special Warfare Operator.

“You pledge a certain num-ber of miles to run for a fallen soldier,” said Spooner, 44, who lives in Sturbridge, Mass.

The “Wear Blue” website

e-mailed Spooner the service-man’s name and biography — turning the portrait on her back into a moving image of sacrifice and valor.

“He really spoke to me. He lost his arm in war and he came back and he raced tri-athlons. And then he actual-ly went back to Afghanistan,” Spooner said. “He was shot down in a helicopter and that’s how he died.”

A poignant fact in Mason’s biography struck Spooner as more than random coinci-dence.

“He died on August 6th of 2011. And August 6th, that’s the date my dad got out of Vietnam,” she said. “My dad got out of Vietnam in 1970. He was infantry. He was a dog handler. They would sniff out the enemy in Vietnam. My dad spent more than a year there. It was like it was meant to be for me to run for (Mason).”

The Woodstock 10K is a bru-tal race over a challenging 6.2-mile course with a particular-ly fiendish climb of Child Hill Road midway through the run.

“It never gets any easier,” said Spooner, who has pre-viously won the Woodstock Memorial Day 10K. “That’s the slowest mile of the race.”

She said the steep climb up Child Hill Road was insignifi-cant compared to the sacrifices our service members make.

“Really, in the grand scheme, people who serve our country are doing the hard work,” she said.

Spooner conquered the hill and then captured first place

in the women’s division with a clocking of 43 minutes, 14 seconds. Heidi Divine, 38, from Woodstock finished in second place among the women in 43:14. Elizabeth Bove, 47, from Woodstock, took third in 50:32.

Piotr Kostyk pulled an all-nighter in order to cap-ture first place in the men’s division. Kostyk is a doctor in training — completing his residency in internal medicine (specializing in anesthesia) at Hartford Hospital. He worked the 8 p.m. Sunday to 7 a.m. Monday shift at the hospital — then drove to Woodstock with “an hour to spare” before the 9 a.m. start of the 10K.

“I work the night shift at

Hartford Hospital. I saw the race listings and Woodstock was relatively close. I fig-ured I’d come out and run a Memorial Day race,” said Kostyk, 29, from Bethel.

Kostyk had been awake for over 24 hours before getting home and taking a nap after his victory on Memorial Day. Not only was his dedication at Woodstock impressive but two days earlier Kostyk ran — and won — the Hamden Hills Half Marathon (13.1 miles) on May 25.

This was Kostyk’s first try at the Woodstock race and he crossed the finish line in 39 minutes, 21 seconds. Matt Bellerive, 30, from Brooklyn, finished in second place among the men with a clocking of 41:27. Andrew Mita, 37, from Worcester, Mass., finished in

third place in 41:39. Kostyk allowed himself a well-earned rest later in on Monday after-noon.

“I’m sleeping in today,” he said. “Tomorrow morning I go back to work.”

Back to the workaday world for Spooner as well. She’ll bring home a cherished memento from the 39th annual Woodstock Memorial Day 10K — not her first-place medal — but the photo of a fallen hero who accompanied her every step of the way.

“It’s an honor to have him on my back,” Spooner said. “He made the ultimate sacrifice.”

Freezers are often unsung heroes of kitch-ens. Too often foods enter a freezer only to be forgotten before being exhumed from blocks of ice and discarded months later. But putting the freezer to better use can improve the way people eat and add to the flavor of the foods they enjoy.

Some people may turn up their noses at frozen foods, feeling that they lack the freshness of unfrozen foods. But that’s not necessarily true. According to the food sci-

ence department at the University of Florida, technology behind frozen food processing enables fast freezing times and prevents the formation of large ice crystals that can damage cells in fruits and vegetables. Food pro-cessors pick produce at the peak of ripeness and then the foods are quick-ly frozen, rendering them in a state of suspended animation. That means the food will not ripen further or rot like fresh food might if it’s not con-sumed immediately.

Fresh produce that is shipped is often picked ahead of time to account for long shipping times and time spent in the pro-duce section of grocery stores. Enzymes break down sugars and other compounds, destroying color, texture and nutri-ents.

Another advantage to frozen foods is the cost. Many items can be pur-chased for reasonable prices, often lower than fresh varieties, like fro-zen vegetables at around a dollar per bag/box. And

because the frozen foods will remain fresh until they are used, shoppers don’t risk waste from throwing out perishables unnecessarily.

When using frozen foods in recipes, follow package directions on whether to thaw or cook directly from the freezer. Also, when saving extras or leftovers, be sure to properly seal them in an airtight container to pre-serve freshness. Look for special freezer-safe bags and containers.

It’s also possible for

home cooks to create their own frozen food inventory from gardens and potted herbs, and by breaking down “club-sized” meat and poultry packs into portioned servings to use through-out the week. These items may have a slightly shorter freezer shelf life than professionally fro-zen foods because home cooks cannot achieve a flash-freeze like com-mercial manufacturers. When storing meat, the United States Dietary Association recommends

that you store different types of meats in the freezer for no longer than these durations:

• Ground meat: 3 to 4 months

• Pork chops: 4 to 6 months

• Fish: 6 months• Beef, veal, and lamb

steaks: 6 to 12 months• Poultry: 9 monthsFrozen foods can be

healthy and convenient. Don’t let their packaged nature fool you; frozen foods are healthy and delicious.
