Continuing
Concerns
Road crew
SHARON For several
years, and through the tenures
of several boards of selectmen,
there have been concerns and
conversation about the maintenance of the town roads. Former
First Selectman Bob Loucks
made the roads a central part
of his election platform in 2009.
Those concerns seem to be a
thing of the past now. The current board, under the leadership
of First Selectman Brent Colley,
has quietly shifted personnel
around in the past few years to
the point where everything seems
to be rolling along nicely.
Bob Carberry was named
town crew chief this summer.
The selectmen created a clear
list of expectations for town
crew workers and worked hard
to make sure those expectations
are met.
In an interview with The
Lakeville Journal, Colley said that
after first taking office in 2013,
within eight months it became
clear to me that accountability
was an issue and we lacked a systematic approach to operations.
The selectmen sent a letter
to the town crew in 2014 that
explained what we expected
from them and what the consequences would be if the expectations were not met, Colley
said. From that point forward
we were persistent in standing
behind those expectations and
working toward a system that
increased productivity and held
people accountable for the jobs
they are employed to do.
A work order form was also
created. Each one lists a description of the job being done; all
crew members who work on
each project sign-off the work
order so its clear who is doing
what and when.
The work order was implemented to take productivity and
accountability to the next level
and has been both successful and
helpful to all parties, Colley said.
I am very proud of the crew
we presently have and pleased
by the progress we have made
as a unit.

The Board of Finance, which
normally issues the booklet full

Instead, it will do the minimum
required by law and publish the
audit of town accounts. The audit will be available at the town
clerks office and online at www.
northcanaan.org.
As in other towns, North
Canaans town report has long
been an expanded collection of
town information and reports
from boards, commissions and
other organizations in town and
in the region.
The finance board has been
scaling back in recent years, not
on content, but on the number of
printed copies, because there are
usually so many left over.
But there have also been issues
of reports coming out later than
usual in recent years. Residents
were long in the habit of picking
up a copy when they went to
Town Hall to vote. The reports
were accepted at the annual town
meeting not long after.

SALISBURY There have been some changes in the business
landscape.
In June, the Peter Becks clothing and outdoor outfitters shop
on Main Street in Salisbury closed.
Leslie Eckstein opened Studio Lakeville, a fitness center, at
342 Main Street in Lakeville (behind the White Gallery). But
in December, Colleen Kopek will close her Skintastic salon on
Main Street next to Lakeville Wine and Spirits. Eckstein had a
massage studio in the Skintastic space.
Small Fish Technologies opened on Lakeville, offering computer and website consulting services.
Nitya Madhev and Mike Patel took over as owners and operators of the Inn at Iron Masters in Lakeville in October, and
next door, Patrick Sinchak (owner) and chef Tom Juliano opened
B&F Burgers at 227 Main St. (between Pastorale and the Iron
Masters). Pastorale will close this week.
The Prime Finds secondhand furnishings shop moved from
its location in downtown Salisbury near The White Hart to a new
location on Main Street in Lakeville, across from the Boathouse
restaurant. Chrissy Tellalian has opened Joie Maison there.

and considers no other factors, is
probably an underestimate.
People in the audience had their
own stories to tell. Ed Dorset said
he was 13 at the time and lived on
the relatively high ground near
Trinity Lime Rock church. His
family was returning from a trip
to Pennsylvania and did not realize
the extent of the damage until they
got to the Northwest Corner.
The bridge over the Salmon
Kill was gone. Somehow his
mother and sisters were brought
across, but he couldnt remember
what he and his father did.
Carol Kastendiecks family
had just bought the old Selleck
mill on the Wachocastinook
Brook, coming off Mount Riga.
The building had no running
water, no electricity, and about
200 years of dirt.
A dam went in the middle
of the night, and for a week the
family lugged buckets up to the
house for flushing toilets.

Across the street at the Sellecks
house, everybody had a stewpot

The youths made it to town

Cornwall
CORNWALL A timely
look at whether or not Columbus Day should continue to be
observed spurred a lively debate
among fifth-graders at Cornwall
Consolidated School.
Social studies teacher Will
Vincent looks for ways to get his
students involved with ongoing
issues and current events, drawing correlations with history.
As part of their study of first
Americans, they wrote to the
towns selectmen to ask them to
join in their debate and consider
a town ordinance to change the
name of the holiday. The class
voted 10 to 1 to support reconsideration of the honor bestowed
on the explorer.
I get that he got here by accident, said Ellie Sanders, during
a recent interview with the class,
but he shouldnt have killed
people so ruthlessly. He should
have realized he was not where he
wanted to go and turned around.
Her twin brother, Henry, engaged her in more debate about
the reasons, even though they
both came to the same conclusion. Maybe it was a sibling thing,
but it illustrated how deeply the
students had considered their
decisions.
Columbus Day, celebrated on
the second Monday in October,
has been a federal holiday since
1937. That allowed for 445 years
of folklore to define his role in
discovering the new world. The
facts do not uphold that, with
numerous explorers believed to
have arrived prior to 1492, and
Columbus actually never making
it to the mainland and what is
now North America.
Proponents of the name
change also wonder how anyone
could have discovered a place
already inhabited by millions.
Some towns and states have
already switched to names such
as Indigenous Peoples Day,
turning it around to be a nod to
native Americans who were often
killed or enslaved at the hands of
Columbus.
It was Columbus attitudes
that seemed to make the strongest impression on the students,
who spoke about it recently in
their classroom.
Their decision, as a class,
to support a name change was
not unanimous among the 11
students.
Spencer Markow offered a
solid argument for honoring
Columbus for bringing together
two parts of the world.
No matter how their effort
turns out, they proved they were
willing to dig deep and remain
objective in the face of much
public debate.
I do not believe it was his
fault, said Melody Matsudaira,
who admitted to being swayed
just a bit due to her Italian
ancestry. He was told to come
here by the king and queen. He
didnt intend to bring disease that
would hurt people here.

CORNWALL The need for
a new way to deal with sewage

of his addiction, heroin was the
primary drug.
Evan had a few things to say
about how this all happened.
He said that for him, marijuana and alcohol were gateway
drugs, because once I crossed
the threshold he saw no reason to refuse other drugs when
offered, such as cocaine or PCP.
He said in high school, when
his substance abuse began in
earnest, he developed a mental
obsession with getting high.
And as painful as physical
withdrawal can be, Evan said the
mental obsession was the most
difficult thing to overcome.
He returned several times in
his talk to the realization that he
had wasted 15 years.
All I cared about was hanging
out with stupid people, drinking,
using drugs, and chilling.
Evan noted that during his
high school years, heroin was not
commonly used by young people.
There is heroin in high
schools now, he said. If I had
access to it then, I probably
wouldnt be here now.
He warned of the dangers
of heroin. Old losers like me
dont die. Its young and talented
people with everything going for
them who die.
Continuing Concerns

Weve discussed this with
Falls Village, and the feeling is
were close, lets get it done well
and right, Rand said.
The news was not received
well in the Amesville section
of Salisbury. In a letter to The
Lakeville Journal published Nov.
12, the Amesville Association said
its members were dismayed and
angered by the delay.
Four years without a bridge
is unconscionable.

would mean to taxpayers. Using
the 2014 grand list, the loan of
approximately $1.8 million over
a 20-year period (at an interest
rate under 3 percent) would add
$54.09 to the annual property
tax bill for a house assessed at
$325,000; for a 30-year loan,
it would add $50.54; over 40
years, $34. (Bartram emphasized
the figures were for reference
purposes.)
On Nov. 2, the Sharon selectmen agreed not to proceed
to a town meeting vote on the
transfer station proposal right
away. A meeting with the building committee was held at which
Sharon residents offered ideas
for ways to redesign the planned
facility to reduce the cost.
Salisbury and Sharon at
present share a transfer station
in Salisbury, on property owned
by The Hotchkiss School. The
towns lease the land, and the
lease will end in 2020. The school
has new plans for that property
and will not renew the lease.
The search of a site for a new
transfer station went on for
several years. The towns eventually settled on a piece of land at
Dimond Road in Salisbury, near
the Millerton border.
Following the purchase of the
property, Anchor Engineering
worked with the transfer station
committee to come up with a
design for the new center.

the sole owner of this secluded
valley, saving his land proved to
be a much greater undertaking.
For one thing, the parcel is on
an entirely different scale. The
property is more than 800 acres
with vast woodlands and rolling
fields. Owning such family land
is a great responsibility accepted
by each successive generation,
but my friend is the last of his
line. The weight and obligation
of doing the right thing for
the valley rested solely on his
shoulders, and finding the right
solution became an imperative.
There are few shortcuts in
land protection, especially those
involving multiple partners, jurisdictions and sources of funding. Saving the valley required
persistence and perseverance
over many years, and I have been
privileged to help my friend work
toward his goal from the very
beginning. Last week finally saw
the culmination of that effort.
Now there are two conservation
easements in place protecting the
land in perpetuity.

The Housy Hoops juniors made it to the final game of the regional tournament, Nov. 29.

SPORTS
LAKEVILLE The annual
Thanksgiving weekend regional
basketball tournament was held
at The Hotchkiss School on Nov.
28 and 29.
Competition on Saturday was
between boys in grades seven
and eight; the Sunday matches
were between boys in grades five
and six.
The regional team offers competition among teams from towns
in Litchfield County and beyond.
Its for players who are serious enough about the sport that
they are planning to play in high
school, said Sharon Recreation
Director Matt Andrulis-Mette,
who was one of the referees for
the tournament.
Players from the Region
One School District play on the
Housy Hoops team. The junior
players (in grades five and six)
are coached by Kate Nordland
and Tim Sneller. The senior
players (grades seven and eight)
are coached by Kevin Wiggins.
For this years tournament,
there were nine teams competing
in each division. Middlebury was
the champion, defeating New
Hartford in the final round.
The junior Housy Hoops team
made it to the finals, competing
against a team from Watertown.
Watertown won, 47-31, but the
game was a victory of another
kind: This is the first junior team
that the Housy Hoops have fielded
in many years and it was a triumph
that they made it all the way to
the final game.

Ambassadors of goodwill is how the government in Washington, D.C., and others refer
to Airbnb. As a participating host member of
Airbnb, I would like to comment on the Nov. 19
guest commentary from Ed Ferman of Cornwall
with regard to the Cornwall P&Z possible ruling
and understanding of this service.
Airbnb charges 3 percent for its
listing service. Members are strictly
graded in several categories by those
who use the service. Payment is
made only through bank accounts,
by the company. This money is
taxable.
People using the service are those
who like the convenience of private
homes, with space and a yard for
children to play safely in, and sometimes a kitchen to feed their families
in. Contrary to the name Airbnb,
food is not prepared and served
by the owner. I do refer guests to
local restaurants, hiking trails, canoe
rentals, ski and fishing options.
Most all of my guests have been here for
Cornwall family functions, such as weddings and
visits to relatives. One or two hotel or motel rooms
are mostly more expensive and less convenient for
Now, near the Winter Solstice, it is good to light candles. All the nice meanings of bringing light to the
world can be beautiful. But perhaps we are concentrating on lighting the world because we dont know
how to light up our own lives.

Viewpoint
A15
or 23 years, lawmakers in
Hartford had to co-exist
with the states spending
cap, which was intended to put
reasonable limits on spending
growth. Lawmakers played nice
with the cap, at least pretending
to abide by its letter while rarely
respecting its spirit. Last week
we learned the lengthy charade
is over when Attorney General
George Jepsen offered a formal
opinion that the constitutional
spending cap has no legal effect.
The lawmakers who voted to
institute the income tax offered
taxpayers the spending cap as a
consolation prize. The people of
Connecticut voted overwhelmingly to adopt the constitutional
amendment, with more than 80
percent voting in favor.
According to a Huffington
Post poll conducted with YouGov, apple pie has an 81 percent
approval rating. In other words,
the spending cap is about as
popular as apple pie.
Yet, for more than two decades, lawmakers have delayed
and dissembled rather than take
the last step necessary to put the
spending cap into effect. All that
remains to be done is to define
the terms in the amendment.
Lawmakers have not taken this
simple step. If they took it now,
Jepsens opinion wont matter.
Hes saying the cap cant work
until its terms are defined. If
nothing else, lawmakers cant
say their instructions arent clear.
The attorney generals opinion
hinges on the interaction between the old statutory spending
cap and the new constitutional
one.
The statutory cap was never
very meaningful for a simple
reason: a law cannot make it illegal to pass another law. In other
words, legislatures are free to do
most things, but they cannot bind
future legislatures.
Jepsen said these principles
safeguard voters ability to
elect representatives vested
THE FOUNDRY
ZACHARY JANOWSKI
with authority undiminished by
the acts and judgments of past
legislatures.
Higher forms of law, namely
constitutions and their amendments, can bind future legislatures. This is exactly what the
people of Connecticut attempted
to do with the spending cap
amendment. The complication
is that the amendment gives the
legislature the authority to define
terms within the amendment
without requiring that they be
defined or offering a default.
Twenty-two years ago, Attorney General Richard Blumenthal
(now a U.S. Senator) issued an
opinion on the spending cap.
Blumenthal said lawmakers
could change the statutory cap,
but such changes would violate
the constitutional cap, so they
could only be changed by the
three-fifths vote totals required
by the amendment.
Under Blumenthals opinion
the constitutional spending cap
had effectively absorbed the statutory cap as its initial imperfect
implementation.
Under Jepsens opinion, the
statutory cap is unrelated to the
constitutional cap and there is
no bridge between them. Indeed,
Jepsen said lawmakers dont
even have to explicitly repeal or
revise the statutory cap. Instead
they could pass a budget than
exceeds the cap and it would be
presumed to have suspended the
conflicting portions of the earlier
enacted statutory spending cap.
Had lawmakers followed
the spending cap closely over
the past two decades, the state
would have more than $5 billion
more on its balance sheet. Thats
considerable since the states liabilities exceed its assets by tens
ongresswoman Elizabeth
Esty is an endangered
Democrat, targeted and
besieged by the Tea Party, the
Brothers Koch and others on
the radical right. I know this
because she tells me so several
times a week in emails from her,
her associates, her daughter and
sometimes her famous friends
like Nancy Pelosi.
The correspondence occasionally mentions issues, but
mostly its about money
mine going to her. According
to the emails, Im one of her
enthusiastic contributors, which
represents a very good return on
an investment of nothing.
I believe giving to a candidate
isnt a good idea as long as Im
involved in journalism, even
writing opinion. Therefore, Ive
never contributed to a candidate. I did vote for Esty once

HOUSING
JILL GROODY
MUSSELMAN
And, as of June 1, 2015, more
than two-thirds of recent home
sales in Sharon in the past year
were sold to individuals with
out-of-town permanent addresses or non-traditional, second
homeowners who do not utilize
local services on a routine basis.
The median sales value of these
homes was $616,097. For those
earning the median household
income of $70,877 in Litchfield
County, a home in our area is
simply out of reach.
After speaking with Kate, a
young nurse at Sharon Hospital,
I was able to confirm the difficulty and frustration often
heartache that touches some
of our Sharon Hospital family
members. The need for housing
is real. Kate is a single parent.
Starting a career. Looking for
local daycare. Finishing her education. Striving to find a place to
call home that is a short commute
to the hospital. Kate has searched
for months and has resigned to
living with her parents for the
foreseeable future. She would
love nothing more than to have
a home to call her own and raise
her children.
Affordable housing for working adults like Kate, whether a
single family home, a duplex,
condominium, or apartment,

She is apparently done well,
even without my $3 or $8. The CT
Mirror reported Esty leads all five
of the incumbent Democratic
House members in fundraising,
having received a comfortable
$709,000 as of the Sept. 30 reporting deadline. Only Himes,
who frequently has respectable
opposition, is close.
So far, all that money is available to combat one announced
opponent, a mysterious figure
named John Pistone, who has
raised nothing or maybe just not
enough to require reporting it.

COMMENTARY
JAMES H. SMITH
As a former prosecutor,
the governor should
know better.
ican rights in a gullible effort to
expunge criminal activity. Saying something never happened
when it did is simply Orwellian.
Rewriting history or claiming it
did not happen is an old Soviet
ploy unworthy of free societies.
The governor is already
dialing back from his initial
announcement last week about
more secrecy in our courts. He
floated the idea. Government
leaders are assigned to ponder it.

h Turkey Tetrazzini,
the great American
dish following the great
American holiday: a simple
recipe for using up a lot of leftover bird after Thanksgiving:
Just add white sauce, mushrooms, spaghetti, maybe a
splash of white wine or sherry
and bake with grated Parmesan on top.
There are hundreds of recipes, credited to a wide range
of chefs from stars like August
Escoffier, to honor soprano
Luisa Tetrazzini, chef Ernest
Arbogast, also to honor Luisa
Tetrazzini, and then many
others such as Giada De Laurentis who makes her Turkey
Tetrazzini with chicken, and
Pioneer Woman Ree Drummond on Food Network who
does use leftover turkey and
then tarts it up with Monterey
Jack, peas, black olives, bacon

Taking In a
Museum Makeover
artford's Wadsworth
Atheneum has been
much ballyhooed by
art writers and publications
since its great unveiling. Like
the doyenne it is the Atheneum opened in 1844 and is
the country's oldest, continuously operating art museum
it could have chosen one
of those new buildings or additions that add lifeless and
mostly useless space.
Instead, museum director
Susan L. Talbott, who joined
the Atheneum in 2008, abandoned plans for an expensive
addition among other
things, the money wasn't
there and embarked on
a $33-million upgrade: repairs and refurbishment
that enhanced gallery space.
Centerpiece of the effort is
the redone Morgan Memorial
building.
The two-story 1910 Morgan
Memorial was the gift of J.
P. Morgan in memory of his
father, J. S. Morgan. Hidden
behind the off-putting Gothic
revival Wadsworth facade,
the Morgan Memorial is now
full of light, color from walls
and pictures, and a clever
mix of the museum's two
greatest strengths: Baroque
art and a truly remarkable,
popular cabinet of curiosities.
Of course the major movements of late 19th- and early
20th- century art are covered,
too; but more in a one-of-this,
one-of-that fashion.
The centerpiece of the
Morgan Memorial is the Great
Hall, now home to more than
70 paintings a few great,
some good, some mediocre

The Picture Gallery of Cardinal Silvio Valenti Gonzaga,
