Middlebury voters will be sorted by District

1 and District 2 Tuesday, Aug. 14, when they
go to the polls to vote for candidates in the
Democratic and Republican primaries. This
is the first time last years redistricting has
affected voters. Voters are not split by district
when voting on local matters such as town
and school district budgets and local refer-
endums.
In Tuesdays vote, ballots will be cast in
the Democratic and Republican primaries
for contested U.S. Senate and U.S. House of
Representatives candidacies. The polls will
open at 6 a.m. and close at 8 p.m.
The town formerly was entirely in State
Sen. Rob Kanes 32nd district, but last years
legislative redistricting moved part of the
town into State Sen. Joan Hartleys 15th dis-
trict. District 1 is now Kanes district. District
2 is Hartleys district. Registrar of Voters Tom
McCormack said Tuesday the redistricting
left 3,200 voters in District 1. The newly cre-
ated District 2 has 1,800 voters.
As can be seen on the accompanying map,
people living along roads such as Upper Whit-
temore, Middlebury Road (Route 64), Artillery
Road, parts of Breakneck Hill Road and Glen-
wood Avenue are in one district if they are
on one side of the road and a different district
if they are on the other side of the road.
Ordinarily, the state election commission
requires separate voting locations for voters
in different districts, but Middleburys regis-
trars of voters requested the town be allowed
to have all voting at Shepardson Community
Center, the location where residents have
customarily cast their ballots. McCormack
said District 1 residents will vote downstairs
at Shepardson, and District 2 residents will
vote upstairs. Poll workers will verify each
voters party affiliation before giving them a
ballot for their party primary.
Democrats will choose between the en-
dorsed candidate for the U.S. Senate, Chris-
topher S. Murphy, and his challenger, Susan
Bysiewicz. Murphy is Connecticuts 5th Dis-
trict representative in the U.S. House of Rep-
resentatives; Bysiewicz is the former Con-
necticut secretary of the state.
For the U.S. House of Representatives 5th
District seat, Democrats will choose among
the endorsed candidate, Chris Donovan, and
two challengers, Elizabeth Esty and Dan
Roberti. Donovan is the speaker of the Con-
necticut House of Representatives, Esty is a
former Connecticut state representative and
Roberti is in public relations.
Republicans will choose between the en-
dorsed candidate for the U.S. Senate, Linda
E. McMahon, and challenger Christopher
Shays. McMahon is a former World Wrestling
Entertainment CEO; Shays is a former U.S.
representative.
For the U.S. House of Representatives 5th
District seat, Republicans will choose among
the endorsed candidate, Andrew Roraback,
and three challengers: Justin Bernier, Lisa
Wilson-Foley and Mark Greenberg. Roraback
is a state senator, Bernier was a member of
former Gov. Jodi Rells cabinet, Wilson-Foley
is a businesswoman, and Greenberg is a
businessman.

Tuesday vote can contact Registrars of Voters
Nancy Robison and Tom McCormack at 203-
577-2061.

The Middlebury Planning and
Zoning Commission (P&Z) at its
Aug. 2 meeting approved a zone
line revision for the former Vin-
nies Pizza and Johnnys Dairy Bar,
tabled a decision on the library
addition, accepted applications
for zone changes behind Junipers
Restaurant and at Lake Quassa-
paug, recommended a Ridgewood
bond reduction, confirmed a Ben-
son Woods permit extension, ad-
dressed inconsistencies in the
zoning regulations and reduced
the hours of the Zoning Enforce-
ment Officer (ZEO).
A zone line revision at the site
of the former Vinnies Pizza and
Johnnys Dairy Bar at 504 Middle-
bury Road was unanimously ap-
proved. The revision involving the
swap of about a quarter acre be-
tween Wesson Energy and St. John
of the Cross Church gave St. John
of the Cross 10 additional feet of
driveway between Vinnies and the
Mobil Station for a 50-foot frontage
onto Route 64 and better access to
its 50-acre R-40 zoned holding.
In exchange, Wesson Energy got
a strip of R-40 zoned land behind
Vinnies and Johnnys that was re-
vised to CA-40 for commercial use.
During the public hearing, in
which no objections were heard,
a letter from Town Planner Brian
Miller said the zone change would
enhance the goals of the evolving
Middlebury Center business dis-
trict.
Action on an application by the
Town of Middlebury for a
3,800-square-foot addition to the
existing 16,300-square-foot li-
brary was tabled until Sept. 6 be-
cause necessary Conservation
Commission approvals were not
voted due to lack of quorums at
recent meetings.
A zone change application by
Tara Perrotti to revise properties
behind Junipers restaurant to
CA-40 from R-40 was unani-
mously accepted for public hear-
ing Sept. 6.
A petition by Joseph L. Molder
of 19 West Lake Road to amend
zoning regulations for lots in the
Lake Quassapaug West Side Asso-
ciation was scheduled for public
hearing Oct. 6. Attorney Curtis
Titus said Molder wanted to re-
build a cottage and expand its
footprint to 1,060 square feet from
784 with assurance a building per-
mit would be issued. P&Z Chair-
man Curtis Bosco said the lots
were part of a condominium as-
sociation and did not conform to
zoning regulations. He said build-
ing permits for reconstruction had
been granted so long as the foot-
print was not increased, citing
septic and water constraints.
Titus argued sewers and water
service were recently added, but
Commissioner Terry Smith said
the lots were nonconforming in
the R-80 district unless a zone
change application was submitted
and approved. Bosco said the ap-
plication could not be heard until
Oct. 6 to give surrounding towns
adequate notification of the pro-
posed change.
The board voted unani-
mously to recommend to the
Board of Selectmen a bond re-
duction for Ridgewood at Mid-
dlebury. The amount of the re-
duction was to be determined by
Town Engineer John Calabrese.
In other matters, commission-
ers confirmed the Benson Woods
subdivision permit would be ex-
tended to September 2016 as a
result of Connecticut Public Act
11-5. They also voted to resolve
inconsistencies in the outdoor
dining sections of the zoning reg-
ulations and set a public hearing
to review the changes Oct. 6.
In budgetary matters, the hours
of ZEO Jean Donegan were re-
duced as a result of the Board of
Finance line-item reduction to
$13,198 from $16,200. Bosco said
P&Z controlled the time allocated
for the ZEOs zoning enforcement
and Zoning Board of Appeals
(ZBA) duties. Donegans hours will
be limited to 33 per month for P&Z
and eight for ZBA.
The next regular P&Z meeting
will be Thursday, Sept. 6, at Shep-
ardson Community Center.
p&Z deals with
many matters
By JONATHAN CHIPLONGO
Middleburys Board of Select-
men (BoS) met Monday evening
in the Town Hall conference room.
The meeting was attended by First
Selectman Ed St. John and Select-
man Ralph Barra. Selectman
Elaine Strobel was on vacation.
After opening with the Pledge
of Allegiance, the Board approved
the minutes of the July 16meeting.
St. John then read a lengthy list of
individuals due tax rebates. The
rebates were approved without
incident.
The first item up for discussion
was the library construction grant
resolution. The resolution would
allow St. John sole power to act on
behalf of the Town of Middlebury
to obtain a state public construc-
tion grant.St. John explained its
customary for the chief executive
of a municipality to sign for such
grants. The money will be used for
renovations to the library on Crest
Road.
St. John said the next step for
the library renovation project is
approval by the Conservation
Committee. Final approval will be
by the Planning and Zoning Com-
mission, and then the project will
go out to bid.
The BoS read into the record a
resolution made by the Middle-
bury Public Library Board of
Trustees to make the lower level
of the library building available
for additional library services
when needed.
The final items on the agenda
were two bond reductions for the
Ridgewood construction project
on Southford Road. The first
phase is currently bonded at
$276,000. Town Engineer John
Calabrese recommended that
bond be reduced to $119,900. The
second phase of the project is
bonded at $1,162,563. Calabrese
recommended the bond be re-
duced to $788,288. Both bond
reductions were reduced without
discussion. Chris Smith, a repre-
sentative for the builders, said his
clients were very appreciative
of the towns efforts.
During public comments,
Barra said Elderly Tax Relief Com-
mittee Chairman Paul Babarik
would like to be on the agenda for
a future meeting to discuss the
committees efforts.
Barra also gave an update on
the Richardson Drive/Route 63
upgrade. He said he is waiting on
the state to make the final changes
to the intersection.
St. John reported on the recent
four-day emergency drill con-
ducted with other officials from
the state. He said the highlight
was CL&Ps efforts to improve
communications during a disas-
ter.
As is usually the case, no town
residents attended the meeting.
It ended in just over 10 minutes.
A record! Barra exclaimed.
The next scheduled meeting is
Monday, Aug. 20, at 6 p.m. in the
Town Hall conference room.

Chabad Lubavitch of North-
west Connecticut reports the In-
ternational Olympic Committee
refused to commemorate the 40th
anniversary of the massacre of
Israeli athletes at the 1972 Mu-
nich Olympics with a moment of
silence during the opening cere-
mony.Olympics Committee Pres-
ident Jacques Rogge is quoted as
saying, We feel that the opening
ceremony is an atmosphere that
is not fit to remember such a
tragic incident. Eleven Israeli
athletes and coaches were mur-
dered by Palestinian terrorists at
the 1972 Munich Olympics.
Those athletes and coaches
will be remembered Sunday, Aug.
12, at 10 a.m. when the Chabad
hosts former Olympic fencer Dan
Alon, who was in the 72 Israeli
delegation. Alon will address the
community and sign his new
book, Munich Memoirs, at the
Chabad community center at 7
Village Green Drive in Litchfield.
The Olympics are a symbol of
freedom and peace between na-
tions, said Alon.
Alon is among those featured
in the documentary, The Elev-
enth Day: The Survivors of Mu-
nich 72. He began fencing when
he was only 12 years old and
quickly made a name for himself,
earning bragging rights as Israels
Junior Champion and, following
national service, Israelis National
Champion. Born in Tel Aviv, Alon,
like many other athletes today,
had a singular dream topartic-
ipatein the Olympics.
Alon will speak about his ex-
periences at the Olympics and
recount the horrific events that
occurred. Weightlifters Moshe
Weinstein and Joseph Romano,
who Alon calls tremendous hu-
man beings and very dedicated
athletes, tried to fight off the ter-
rorists and as a result lost their
lives. While athletes relish the
opportunity to represent their
country at big sporting events
such as the Olympics, few are ever
faced with the life-threateningsit-
uations the Israeli delegation
faced in Munich.
For the Israeli delegation, the
Olympics wasnt just a competi-
tion, it was a chance to show the
world the nation of Israel was
thriving. They were the first Israeli
team to compete since World War
II.
Athletic competitionsare often
decided by mere milliseconds,
and a few milliseconds were all
some of the Israeli Olympians had
to try and save their teammates.
Though the games continued af-
ter the terrible massacre, Alon
said, Some of the players from
various countries decided that,
in light of what had happened,
they would pack their bags and
return home for this I applaud
them.
For Alon and other Israeli
Olympians, one of the most im-
portant aspects of the Olympics
is they know the people of Israel
always will be by their side. Some
of the pain and suffering he felt
returning to Israel after the mas-
sacre was alleviated when he
stepped off the plane. When we
landed at the airport, and I see
these beautiful Israeli people
waiting for us thousands of
them it was something I will
never forget, he said.
The event cost is $18 per per-
son; $15 per senior. A sponsor
cost of $100 per person includes
lunch with Alon at noon in a pri-
vate home. For reservations, go

The Eighteen-Day
Running Mate: McGov-
ern, Eagleton, and a
Campaign in Crisis
By Joshua M. Glasser
(Yale University Press, $26)
Reviewed by Larry Cox
Joshua M. Glasser, a re-
searcher for Bloomberg Televi-
sion in New York, first became
intrigued with Thomas Eagleton
when he read his obituary in The
New York Times in 2007. Even
though Eagletons brief stint as
a vice-presidential candidate is
now mostly a footnote in our na-
tional history, during the sum-
mer of 1972, he changed the
direction of a national campaign
and helped re-elect Richard
Nixon to the presidency.
That July, Jane Fonda toured
North Vietnam, the U.S. began
selling grain to Russia, and bru-
tal attacks continued in Northern
Ireland. Our musical tastes in-
cluded the latest albums of Chi-
cago, Rod Stewart and Three Dog
Night. On July 10, the National
Democratic Convention began
in Miami, and delegates nomi-
nated Sen. George McGovern to
head the national ticket. McGov-
ern, a U.S. senator from South
Dakota, backed a complete with-
drawal from South Vietnam and
picked Sen. Thomas Eagleton of
Missouri as his running mate.
Within days of Eagletons
nomination, a pair of anony-
mous phone calls brought to
light his history of hospitaliza-
tions for nervous exhaustion
and past treatments that in-
cluded electroshock sessions.
The caller who triggered the
crisis has never been identified.
With the wives of the two can-
didates at their sides, McGovern
and Eagleton met in South Da-
kota to plan a strategy to cope
with Eagletons medical history.
Despite McGoverns assurance
he was 1,000 percent behind
his running mate and would con-
tinue to support him, blood was
in the water, and the ticket was
derailed. Within 18 days of his
nomination, Eagleton withdrew.
Drawing on personal inter-
views with McGovern, campaign
manager Gary Hart, political di-
rector Frank Mankiewicz and
dozens of other participants,
both inside and out of the Mc-
Govern and Eagleton camps,
Glasser captures the political and
human drama that surrounded
Eagletons brief candidacy 40
summers ago.

duce weight.
The study results show how
we can lose weight safely in three
steps: 1) Keep a journal to report
everything youve eaten, 2) Dont
skip meals, and 3) Dont go out
to lunch. Sounds so simple,
doesnt it?
They divided 123 overweight
and obese senior women into
two groups for the yearlong
study: One group used diet and
exercise, and the other only diet.
Heres what they learned:
Women who kept journals of
what they ate lost six pounds
more than those who didnt keep
a journal. This appeared to be
the most important of the three
steps, and it makes sense. If we
write down exactly what we eat,
its easier to identify whether
were meeting our goals. The
trick is to be honest, and being
honest means measuring por-
tions and reading labels and
always keeping your journal with
you in case you do eat while away
from home.
Women who went out for
lunch at least once a week lost
five pounds less than those who
didnt or who ate lunch out less
frequently. When you eat at a
restaurant, you cant control the
size of the portions or how the
food is cooked.
Women who skipped meals
lost eight pounds less than those
who didnt skip meals. Research-
ers werent sure why this was so,
but it could be being hungry
leads to overeating or eating out.
Eating at regular times gave the
best success.

When the last day of school
finally comes, parents are thrilled
to be taking a break from the
school years hustle and bustle,
but that is when the Southbury
Womens Club (SWC) starts get-
ting ready for the first day of
school in the fall. Before the start
of school, the club will assemble
approximately 90 backpacks
filled with school supplies for
Southbury children in need.
This year, the Southbury Busi-
ness Association and the Mus-
tard Seed Fund are covering a
portion of the expenses for the
project, Operation Backpacks.
However, SWC still is relying on
residents of Southbury to be gen-
erous with their contributions in
an effort to meet this need for
local children.
Jars have been placed at cash
registers in stores around the
community, including Pattys
Pantry, Southbury Labonnes
and Leos. Please look for the jars
and, when you see one, consider
the less fortunate, and remember
no amount is too small. It all adds
up for a good cause.
SWC also is seeking sponsors
for this worthwhile cause. If you
or your business is interested in
contributing, or if you would like
more information, please con-
tact Christina at 203-627-3880.
Donations for this project in any
amount are always welcome and
can be sent directly to Southbury
Womens Club, ATTN: Operation
Backpack, P.O. Box 195, South-
bury, CT 06488.
The Southbury Womens Club
is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organi-
zation, a member of the Con-
necticut Junior Women and has
been serving the Southbury
community since 2001. In addi-
tion to Operation Backpacks,
past projects include donations
to the Fuel Bank and Southbury
Needy Fund, the Southbury Food
Bank, Audubon Society at Bent
of the River and Safe Haven. Ev-
ery year the club provides two
scholarships to graduating high
school seniors. It encourages
good works within the commu-
nity and fosters friendships
among its members.
Club membership is open to
women ages 18 and older who
are interested in serving the
community. There also is a Ju-
niorettes club for girls ages 9 to
18. The club meets the third week
of each month. For the meeting
schedule or for more information

Real Truth For Real Life At St. Georges
Wilson-Foley has
Best Qualifcations
To the Editor:
Albert Einstein defined insan-
ity as doing the same thing over
and over again and expecting
different results. With congres-
sional re-election rates for in-
cumbents generally above 90
percent, one must wonder when
voters will recognize the insanity
of continually reelecting career
politicians and try something
different. If you are tired of elect-
ing politicians who vote for bills
before reading them; pass legis-
lation for the rest of us, but ex-
empt themselves from it; or con-
tinue to run budget deficit after
budget deficit, then this election
gives us the opportunity to do
something different.
When you compare all four
candidates running for the Re-
publican nomination for Con-
gress, there is only one who has
the qualifications to turn our
economy around, and that is
businesswoman Lisa Wilson-Fo-
ley of Simsbury.
Wilson-Foley has spent her
life in Connecticut, putting her-
self through college before start-
ing her own businesses while
raising a family. She understands
our country is in a mess, and the
same old political answers wont
work. There is too much at stake
not to trust someone like Wilson-
Foley, who will treat our tax
money like her own. She knows
how to run a business, meet pay-
roll, live within a budget and
most importantly, create jobs.
Wilson-Foley isnt running for
Congress to be someone or get
a pension. She is someone who
has made a difference in Con-
necticut and she will do the same
in Washington, D.C. I am voting
for her Aug. 14 in the 5th Con-
gressional District primary, and
I hope fellow Republicans will
do the same.

Middlebury resident Malcolm
S. Todt was recently recognized by
the Institute of Management Ac-
counts (IMA) as one of the first
individuals to take the prestigious
Certified Management Accountant
(CMA) exam 40 years ago. Todt
was among those honored during
the IMAs 93rd Annual Conference
and Exposition in Las Vegas in
June. At the IMA annual dinner,
members of the CMA Class of 1972
received a commemorative clock
in recognition of their achieve-
ment.
Todt took the CMA exam in De-
cember 1972, along with only a
handful of other individuals across
the U.S., and became the first CMA
in the state of Connecticut. Since
that time, more than 37,000 indi-
viduals have earned the CMA cer-
tification.
During its 40-year history, the
CMA program has grown to be-
come an internationally recog-
nized designation valued by orga-
nizations around the world. The
CMA program is a relevant assess-
ment of advanced accounting and
financial management knowledge
in four critical areas: financial
planning, analysis, control and
decision support.
IMA Chair Emeritus Brian Mc-
Guire, Ph.D., CMA, CPA, CBM,
CITP said, We are pleased to rec-
ognize the accomplishment of
Malcolm, who as a member of the
CMA Class of 1972 helped to lay
the foundation for every CMA
exam since. In granting this honor,
we acknowledge Malcolms par-
ticipation in the first exam and his
role in paving the way for the future
of the management accounting
profession. All the members of the
Class of 1972 have set a path for
those who have come after them,
excelled in their profession and
continue to seek new knowledge
to enhance their careers.
Todt holds a masters of busi-
ness administration in finance,
magna cum laude, from Babson
College and has been a member
of the Waterbury chapter of the
IMA for more than 40 years. Todt
has held senior financial officer
positions in major public and pri-
vate corporations in the region. In
addition, he has served on the
board of directors of both public
and private companies and not-
for-profit organizations and cur-
rently serves on the board of two
private companies. Todt was an
adjunct finance and business pro-
fessor teaching in both the under-
graduate and graduate schools at
several colleges in Connecticut.
He currently manages his own
business consulting practice.
The IMA, the association of ac-
countants and financial profes-
sionals in business, is one of the
largest and most respected asso-
ciations focused exclusively on
advancing the management ac-
counting profession. Globally, IMA
supports the profession through
research, the CMA program, con-
tinuing education, networking,
and advocacy of the highest ethical
business practices. IMA has a
global network of more than 65,000
members in 120 countries and 200
local chapter communities. IMA
provides localized services
through its offices in Montvale,
N.J.; Zurich, Switzerland; Dubai,
UAE; and Beijing, China. For more
information about the IMA, visit

By DR. ROBERT L. RAFFORD
If Middlebury had a Hall of
Fame, the Johnson family would
be at the top of the list. My last
article began the story of one of
the foremost women of our town,
Mary Rosaline Igoe Johnson, and
her devotion to the teaching pro-
fession here in Middlebury. Mary
was an excellent teacher, but that
was not all. Her family soon was
to become the center of her life. A
young man who was instrumental
in hiring her to be a teacher in
Middlebury soon became enam-
ored with her.
William Paul Johnson, a farmer
and carpenter in Middlebury, won
her heart. On Oct. 7, 1903, they
were married in Middlebury. Bill
was the son of Irish immigrants
just as Mary was.
The couple raised four gifted
and caring daughters. Their first,
Mary, was to become Sister Maria
Benigna (1904-1999) of the Sisters
of Mercy. She earned a bachelors
degree, a masters degree and a
doctorate and was awarded an
honorary doctorate of humane
letters from St. Joseph College af-
ter being designated professor
emeritus there. She was a teacher
in biological sciences at St. Joseph,
of which she was a founding sister.
Their second child was Kathryn
Regina, born in 1908. She married
Edward Weaving, and they raised
five children. Kathryn visited Mid-
dlebury in 2008 as she turned 100,
helping to commemorate the cen-
tennial celebrations of Middle-
burys trolley line and the found-
ing of Quassy Amusement Park.
As the last remaining child of Mary
and Bill Johnson, she is featured
on the towns Bicentennial video.
Dorothy Margaret, born in
1912, married Earl Mayo. She was
employed by the government and
died in 1992. Genevieve Wilma
was the youngest. She married
George Burt and raised four chil-
dren. She died at 93 in 2008 in
California.
Mary and Bill raised their chil-
dren in Middlebury, where Mary
served on the Middlebury Board
of Education for many years. This
service, combined with her ear-
lier profession as a beloved
teacher, was so cherished by the
town that, when she died in 1953
(not 1952, as I had written earlier)
at the age of 77, the town re-
named the Hop Brook School to
the Mary I. Johnson School in her
memory.
Bill Johnson, too, lived a life
of dedication to the town. Be-
sides being a farmer and a car-
penter, he served as town con-
stable for more than 60 years and
was the dog warden for 44 years,
too. For a long while, he was the
only paid constable in Middle-
bury. A March 2, 1952, Waterbury
Sunday Republican newspaper
article by John Dicorpo said Bill
never carried a gun except to
deal with errant canines, and
prisoners were held in a cell at
Town Hall. Bill treated his pris-
oners with respect, and a num-
ber came back to thank him after
they had turned their lives
around.
He grew up in Waterbury with
eight brothers and sisters. One
brother, Joseph, took the stage
name of Charles Leroux, and
became a champion parachutist
throughout Europe (allegedly the
first man to parachute from an
aircraft). But in 1899, while para-
chuting from a hot air balloon in
Estonia, he was killed. A memo-
rial to him stands in Estonia (see
Wikipedia for full details). Bill
Johnson died at the age of 97 in
1969.
Bill and Mary Johnson dedi-
cated most of their combined 174
years of life to our town, forging
a legacy that is as beautiful as it
is inspiring.

The latest scam is hitting con-
sumers in the middle of a heat
wave. The scam itself, while cre-
ative, is not realistic: President
Barack Obama is not giving away
$1,000 credits that can be applied
to utility bills. There is no energy
fund. There is no credit. This is
not another stimulus check-type
program from the government.
Its a scam.
The rumor started in one state,
and its spreading from coast to
coast. The scammers are going
all out this time, calling on the
phone purporting to be from the
utility company, using auto-di-
alers, putting up notices and
even texting. What makes this
scam even more dangerous is
theyre also going door to door.
Sometimes the scammers
claim to be from the government,
and they say your water, electric
or gas bill will be paid if youll
just give them your personal in-
formation. In one utility alone,
1,000 customers have fallen for
the scam. In another, more than
2,000 customers were affected.
The biggest take nailed 10,000
people in one state.
Here are some things you can
do:
If you know youre not behind
on your utility bill, but are be-
ing pressured on the phone to
pay, call the police.
Dont give out your bank rout-
ing information or Social Se-
curity number. Do not give out
your credit card number as a
way of making a payment to a
suspicious caller.
If someone calls, supposedly
from the utility company, and
demands payment, hang up.
Then call the number of the
utilitys customer service line
(usually found on your bill)
and ask whether they are the
ones who called you. Hang up
on anyone you think is trying
to get your personal informa-
tion.
If you suspect something is
wrong, call the local Better
Business Bureau. You likely
wont be the only one who
calls.
If you realize after the fact
youve been scammed, call
your bank immediately, and
tell them what happened.
Then, if its the utility company
scam, call your utility company
as well.
If someone comes to your door
supposedly to collect on a util-
ity bill, have that person wait
outside (while you lock the
door), and call the utility com-
pany to see if they sent anyone
to your door.
Read the leaflets that come in
your utility bills. They might
include warnings of scams or
other information you need.

Philomena Nerina
(Follo) Inglese
Mother of Nerina Carroll
and Sabrina Josef
Philomena Nerina (Follo) Inglese,
also known as Mana, 82, of Middle-
bury, formerly of Waterbury, passed
away Friday, Aug. 3, at St. Marys
Hospital. She was the widow of Jo-
seph F. Inglese.
Philomena was born in Water-
bury Jan. 20, 1930, a daughter of the
late Luigi and Maria (Lanzetta) Follo.
She attended Bishop School, and she
was a graduate of Webster Grammar
School and Wilby High School. She
worked as a nurses aide for the Wa-
terbury Health Department at Driggs
School and St. Margarets School for
23 years until retiring in 1992. She
also was employed by Dr. Samuel
Atkins, Dr. E. Pasetto and Drs. Henry
Merriman Sr. and Jr. She later worked
with her son at Pasta Heaven of Wa-
tertown, where she enjoyed convers-
ing with the customers, making
meatballs, pizza penne and Easter
pies.
She was a devout Catholic and
sponsored several children in a va-
riety of countries, including the Phil-
ippines. Philomena was a former
communicant of St. Lucys Church,
St. Thomas Church and Our Lady of
Lourdes Church. She was a member
of the Children of Mary, past presi-
dent of the Holy Rosary Society, a
Eucharistic minister and a member
of the church choir. She touched the
lives of everyone who knew her with
her warmth, her friendliness and her
beautiful smile. Philomena loved
spending time with her children,
who were the gems and blessings of
her life. But most importantly, it was
her grandchildren who brought her
great joy. She was a major part of
their lives, having fun attending all
their extra curricular activities. Some
of her favorite times were spent at
the ocean with her husband, Joe, and
children, especially at their cottage
at Milford Beach.
She leaves two daughters: Nerina
Carroll and her husband, Mark, and
Sabrina Josef and her husband, Ro-
meo, all of Middlebury; and a son,
Alexander Inglese and his wife, Patri-
cia, of Wolcott; two sisters: Ida Ar-
caro of Las Vegas, Nev., and Anna
Petro of Cupertino, Calif.; six grand-
children: Jonathan Carroll, Tiadora
Josef, Marlana Carroll, Anthony
Carroll, Alexandra Inglese and Isa-
bella Inglese. She also leaves three
sisters-in-law: Eleanor Follo, Phyllis
Docchio and Lillian Fracassi; and
several nieces and nephews. She was
predeceased by her brother, Ru-
dolph Follo, and her sister, Josephine
Babe Small.
The family wishes to give a special
thank you to Aunt El, Dr. Edmund
Caporaso and the staff at Aurora
Senior Living of Bucks Hill for their
care and compassion. The family
also would like to thank all her
friends at Woodside Heights in Mid-
dlebury.
Philomenas funeral Monday was
followed by burial at Calvary Cem-
etery. The Chase Parkway Memorial/
Albini Family Funeral Home in Wa-
terbury assisted the family with ar-
rangements. Contributions can be

It Happened in Middlebury
Saturday, Sept. 15, at noon at
Hollow Park in Woodbury, the
Woodbury Lions Club will dump
5,000 yellow ducks into the Non-
newaug River to start their Third
Annual Duck Race Raffle. A new
major fundraiser for the Wood-
bury Lions to support their sight-
and hearing-related efforts, the
Duck Race Raffle has grown from
the inaugural 2,000-duck race in
2010 at Three Rivers Park to a
5,000-duck race at The Hollows.
We hope that it continues to
grow, said Sight-and-Hearing
Co-Chairman Billy Hubert. Our
goal is to raise enough money so
that we can fund a guide dog
through Fidelco every other year.
One guide dog costs about
$45,000 to train, and it takes two
years of training before it can be
placed with a person who is blind.
For those who do not know
what a duck race raffle is, tickets
are sold with the number on each
ticket corresponding to a num-
ber written on a small, yellow
rubber duck. The day of the race,
the ducks are mixed together and
dumped into a river. The first
ducks to cross the finish line are
the winners. This year, the Wood-
bury Lions have prizes for the
first seven ducks that make it all
the way down the river and into
the winners circle.
Everyone is very supportive of
this event, said Billy Barthelmess,
co-chairman of the event. All our
prizes are donated, which means
that almost all the money that we
raise goes directly to sight- and
hearing-related causes.
This year, the prizes are $1,000
for first place donated by Steven
Stokes/Stone Craft and Overhead
Door, Co.; $500 for second place
donated by Mattatuck Industrial
Scrap Metal; and third prize is
$250 donated by W.J. Burton In-
surance. Fourth- through seventh-
place prizes are $100 gift-certifi-
cates donated by San Remo
Restaurant, Carlitos Restaurant,
Carole Pecks Good News Cafe and
Murray Brothers Garage.
The non-profit Fidelco Guide
Dog Foundation was created in
1960 by Charles H. Kaman and
his wife, Robbie. Located on the
Kaman Industries campus in
Bloomfield, Conn., Fidelco does
only one thing: Train its special
breed within a breed German
shepherds to become responsi-
ble for their partners safety and
places them, at no cost, with cli-
ents who have lost their vision.
Besides Fidelco, the Wood-
bury Lions Club also supports
the States Lions Low Vision Cen-
ters, which teach people with
vision problems new ways to use
their remaining sight; the Con-
necticut Lions Eye Research
Foundation, which does eye re-
search through various univer-
sities in the state; its own Video
Reader Loan Program, which lets
people with low vision borrow a
state-of-the-art video reader
while they are waiting to receive
their own; and helps visually im-
paired people in the community
find treatment.
Raffle tickets at $5 each, or $50
for a book of 10 are available
from any Woodbury Lions Club
member, or by phone at 203-263-
7800.

innings and giving up only four
runs.During this game, Pomper-
aug fought its way backto tie the
game in the sixth inning.
In the top of the seventh, Zac
Warner came in to hold the po-
tent Maine offense at bay, pitch-
ing three outs, including one
strikeout in only nine pitches. In
the bottom of the seventh, men
were on first and third after
Karich drew a walk and then
ended up on second on a wild
pitch. Devin Polomski hit a sin-
gle and advanced Karich to third

DEAR DR. DONOHUE: Youve
written about the DASH diet in
the past. The directions for it are
quite general. Can you provide an
itemized list of what is good and
what is bad to eat? It makes things
simpler for me. F.L.
ANSWER: The DASH (Dietary
Approaches to Stop Hyperten-
sion) doesnt involve a detailed
listing of good and bad foods. Its
a general approach that identifies
the food groups that are best for
lowering blood pressure. You get
to pick foods that appeal to you
from those groups. Thats one of
the beauties of the diet: It permits
many choices.
Grains are one of the major
groups in the diet. Grains include
products made from wheat, bar-
ley, rye, oats and other such cereal
grains, even grains that arent fa-
miliar to our diet. Every day, peo-
ple should eat seven to eight serv-
ings of grain foods. A serving is a
slice of bread, 1 ounce of cereal,
or cup of cooked rice (brown),
pasta or cereal.
The next group is three to four
servings of fruit, with a serving
being equal to a medium-size
fruit, a quarter-cup of dried fruit
or 6 ounces of fruit juice. People
also should eat four or five serv-
ings of vegetables a day, with a
serving being 1 cup leafy vegeta-
bles, cup cooked vegetables or
6 ounces of vegetable juice.
Two to three low-fat dairy
products are allowed, with 8
ounces of skim milk, 1 cup low-fat
yogurt or 1 ounces of low-fat
cheese constituting a serving. Two
meat servings a day are permitted,
with 3 ounces being a serving of
cooked meat, poultry or fish.
Fats and oils are the final group.
Two or three servings meet the
requirement, with 1 teaspoon of
margarine, 2 tablespoons of low-
fat mayonnaise or 2 tablespoons
of light salad dressing, each being
a serving. In addition, 1 ounces
of nuts are allowed four times a
week.
In addition, you must keep so-
dium down to 1,500 mg a day.
Sodium is listed on all nutrition
labels.
The booklet on high blood
pressure speaks of the many other
issues involved in controlling this
widespread disorder. Readers can

hue No. 104W, Box 536475, Or-
lando, FL 32853-6475. Enclose a

DEAR DR. DONOHUE: Six
months ago my husband, 78, had
an artificial hip installed if thats
the right word. The operation was
a complete success, and he was
up and walking shortly after the
surgery.
However, since hes been
home, he does nothing but sit. He
says hes afraid hell wear out the
new hip. I thought the operation
was done to make people more
active. Isnt that so? O.P.
ANSWER: It is so. Mobility and
freedom from pain are the reasons
why artificial hips have gained
such high regard. Your husband
isnt going to wear out the hip.
The new joint lasts up to 25 or
more years. He can do anything
his doctor has not specifically said
not to do.
Dr. Donohue regrets he is unable
to answer individual letters, but he
will incorporate them in his column
whenever possible. Readers may
write him or request an order form
of available health newsletters at
P.O. Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-

Once every four years, our
global community comes to-
gether to watch excellence in
action athletes reaching for the
gold, making dreams come true.
These amazing people are doing
what they do best for well over a
billion people to enjoy. What an
incredible spectrum of humanity
they are.
Think about the far-reaching,
positive, uplifting implications of
people the world over putting
differences aside to come to-
gether in the name of excellence.
Did you see the smiles of pride
and excitement on the faces of all
those representing the 81 coun-
tries in the Parade of Nations? In
sharing their greatest gifts and
talents with the world, they are
living examples of dedication,
vision, discipline and excellence.
You can learn so much from
watching their prowess, finesse,
courage, strength, beauty and
amazing attention to detail. They
are masterful and accomplished,
each and every one of them. Be-
holden to their own high stan-
dards of being, so proud they are
to stand tall, even if only walking
in the opening ceremonies rep-
resenting their country. As you
watch them swim, row, volley,
judo, bike, sail, lift, dribble, bal-
ance, jump, run, and canoe their
way to their own personal victo-
ries, think of how you can be vic-
torious in your own life.
This weeks nugget for life is to
make a choice to be truly excel-
lent in your life, if only for this
week. Create a sense of wow for
yourself by doing something
brave in the name of accomplish-
ing a long-held vision. Shock
yourself by having the courage to
do something differently. Step
way outside the box just once, and
reach higher than youve allowed
yourself to reach in a long time.
Watch the Olympics every chance
you get, and be wonderfully in-
spired by these incredible human
beings who give us a chance every
four years to dream bigger and
reach higher. Soak up their infec-
tious enlightening, enlivening
energy. Be bold, big and amazing.
Each night for 10 minutes be-
fore you sleep, visualize some-
thing youve always wanted to be,
do or have. What is the outstand-
ing quality you posses that makes
you uniquely you? What does
personal excellence mean to you?
You have the power to lift yourself
up. Aim high, raise your own stan-
dards for living and be really
great!

129 Main Street
in Oakville, Conn.
I recently canceled my
cable subscription in
order to save money.
While watching the
news streamed on my computer
is OK, Id like to pick up local sta-
tions on my TV. How can I do
that? Chuck F., New Hampshire
Todays over-the-air TV
transmissions are en-
tirely digital, a change
mandated by the government a
couple of years back. The old
analog TV transmissions were
switched off in 2010, something
owners of old tube televisions
who try to pick up signals with
their old antennae are painfully
aware of.
However, even with an older
television, you can pick up line-
of-sight transmissions and re-
ceive local television stations.
Converter boxes are available at
most large retailers that sell elec-
tronics and cost from $30 to $60.
You can learn more at dtv.gov/
consumercorner_4.html.
If you have a newer HD tele-
vision, you might be able to pick
up a few signals if the TV has a
built-in digital antenna. If not,
there are several HD antennas
on the market. If you live in an
area where TV signals are tradi-
tionally faint, youll absolutely
need one of these. They start at
around $45 and go up in price,
but the plus side is you wont pay
any more money for TV signals
once the antenna is up. At least
one brand of HD antenna was
designed to be set up inside your
home, but there are other brands
specifically made to be set up
outside or on the roof. In most
cases, outdoor antennas can pick
up signals up to 50 miles away as
long as there arent too many
obstructions like hills or other
buildings between your home
and the transmission source.
To set up an outdoor HD an-
tenna, follow the instructions
included with the product. Those
made for rooftops should include
proper mounting bolts and, ide-
ally, small sealing squares (ba-
sically roof-patching squares)
that sit between the antenna
mount base and the roof. If those
sealing squares arent included,
head to your home-improve-
ment store for roof patches, and
cut them to fit.
Youll also need to feed the
coaxial cable connecting the an-
tenna back into the house to your
television. If possible, try using
the holes already drilled by the
cable company to install its coax,
rather than punch more holes in
your homes envelope.
A number of videos on the
web can provide more informa-
tion on antenna installation. This
video (www.youtube.com/
watch?v=CuY-D9fQG_s) shows
one homeowners installation
option at the top of the eave. An-
other (www.youtube.com/
watch?v=C0WQtzMdo7I) pro-
vides details on properly posi-
tioning the antenna for an opti-
mal signal, which is important
in remote areas.

Q:
By SAMANTHA MAzzOTTA
A:
If you have an ex-
isting dish or an-
tenna mount on
the roof, take note
of how the mount base is set
up. It can be a big help in set-
ting up your HD antenna
without causing a roof leak.

Flanders Nature Center and Land Trust will
show Green Fire,the first full-length, high-def-
inition documentary film ever made about leg-
endary environmentalist Aldo Leopold Friday,
Aug. 10, at7 p.m.at The Studio at5 Church Hill
Road in Woodbury.
Considered by many as the father of wildlife
management and the U.S. wilderness system,
Leopold was a conservationist, forester, philos-
opher, educator, writer and outdoor enthusiast.
Born in 1887 and raised inBurlington,Iowa, Leo-
pold graduated from the Yale Forest School in
1909 and pursued a career with the U.S. Forest
Service inArizonaandNew Mexico. In 1922, he
was instrumental in developing a proposal to
manage theGila National Forestas a wilderness
area, which became the first such designation in
1924.
After he was transferred toWisconsin, Leopold
accepted a position as a professorat theUniver-
sity of Wisconsin. The Leopold family initiated
their own ecological restoration experiment on
a worn-out farm along theWisconsin River, plant-
ing thousands of pine trees and restoring the
prairies.
A prolific writer, Leopold conceived of a book
geared for general audiences that examined hu-
manitys relationship with the natural world. A
year after his death in 1948, that book,A Sand
County Almanac, was published. With more
than two million copies sold, it is one of the most
respected books about the environment ever
published.
The movie, Green Fire was produced in a
partnership of the Aldo Leopold Foundation, the
Center for Humans and Nature and the U.S. For-
est Service. The movie describes the formation
of Leopolds idea of a land ethic, exploring how
it changed one man and later permeated through
all areas of conservation. The film utilizes pho-
tographs, correspondence, manuscripts and other
archival documents from the Leopold Archives
as well as interviews with environmental lead-
ersand contemporary, full-color location footage,
including landscapes that influenced Leopold.
Leopold remains relevant today, inspiring proj-
ects all over the country that connect people and
land. For more information about the film,
visitwww.greenfiremovie.com.
The cost for the film is $8 per person or $6
for Flanders members. Due to limited space,
registration is required. Register by calling
Flanders at 203-263-3711 or email flanders@

Those who listen to smooth
jazz/instrumental music have
probably heard keyboardist
Chris Geith. His music has been
among the most streamed and
downloaded on the MP3 website
with a whopping 1,400,000
downloads! Geith will perform
Friday and Saturday, Aug. 10 and
11, at 8:15 p.m. at the Clockwork
Repertory Theatre.
Geiths unique sound and
ability to communicate through
music currently attracts thou-
sands of new visitors to his web-
site every week. Born in Italy and
educated in Europe, he studied
music both in Europe and upon
entering the U.S. He has traveled
extensively throughout both con-
tinents and recently returned
from a smash hit concert in Col-
orado.
Geith was awarded the 20th
Anniversary Keyboard Compe-
tition award by Keyboard mag-
Keyboardist Chris Geith (Submitted photo)
chris geith performs at the clockwork
azine in 1995. His albums Island
of a Thousand Dreams and
Timeless World have been Top
10 best sellers for months.
At Geiths request, the ticket
price of $10 is set unusually low
so audience members of all types
can enjoy his Connecticut con-
cert, the first in a very long time.
Tickets can be reserved by calling
the theatre at 860-274-7247.

You like to use Outlook for all
your email addresses; however,
you do not want emails for vari-
ous addresses to get mixed in
with each other. How can you
separate emails by address while
using one access point?
Using the Test feature, first
make sure all your email ad-
dresses are input correctly and
functioning before moving for-
ward. Next (for Outlook 2007 and
2010), you can directly assign an
email account to a specific folder.
When email is downloaded for
a particular address, it will go to
a separate and specific folder,
thus keeping your emails sepa-
rated. You no longer will have to
sift through the Inbox for emails
that belong to different ad-
dresses.
To do this: Open Outlook, then
click on Tools Account Set-
tings. Pick one of your email ac-
counts, and click Change Folder
(located at the bottom of the
screen). Press the New Outlook
Data File button. Select Office
Outlook Personal Folders File
(.pst). Name it. We suggest
names like Charter, Comcast,
Cox or Work and Personal.
Select a location to store your
email. Keeping it with the other
email .pst folders is best as these
already may be part of your
backup profile. Give it a display
name (same as above). Click OK,
and select the Inbox folder in the
newly created .pst file. Click OK
to close the New email dialogue
box. Click Close to exit the Ac-
count Settings window after you
have finished setting each email
account with a specific folder.
When you open Outlook
again, you will see your email
folders on the left side where the
Personal Folders are. Click the
plus sign next to the folder name,
and you will see email desig-
nated for that address. It is that
simple and efficient.

DEAR PAWS CORNER: Ive been
reading recent reports that some
communities in the U.S. are trying
to ban certain breeds of dogs, like
pit bulls. I think this is a great idea
because pit bulls are so unpre-
dictable and violent. Do you
agree? Carol in Tacoma, Wash.
DEAR CAROL: Nope, I dont
agree. Thats because completely
banning specific dog breeds wont
solve the problem of dog bites and
attacks.
Even dogs of breeds considered
benign can attack humans or
other dogs poodles being the
first that come to mind. But, you
argue, poodles arent violent!
Well, unfortunately, Ive met a
few. The fact is, all breeds of dog
have the potential to bite humans.
Owners must be aware of and ac-
cept this possibility.
I try to educate pet owners
about better ways to care for their
pets. In the case of dog attacks, I
feel education of the owner is the
strongest deterrent. That educa-
tion should start before a person
even becomes a dog owner so he
or she can make the best choice
of dog for the household. A pit
bull or other type of guard or at-
tack dog may not be ideal for a
number of reasons beyond pos-
sible temperament: Theyre big
dogs, theyre powerful and they
need lots of attention and train-
ing, no matter how nice they ap-
pear to be.
Owners of all dog breeds not
just those considered dangerous
need to know the specific be-
havioral issues of their breed.
They need to train their dog, and
socialize the dog with both other
humans and other dogs. The best
way to learn how to do this is to
enroll in group training classes
with a certified trainer, an invest-
ment that pays off all the way
down the road.

CANNON
Cannon is a very handsome young man be-
tween1 to 2 years old. He is cautious of men, but
will warm up in time. His skin is very sensitive,
and he seems to have a food allergy. We have him
on salmon flavored Taste of The Wild. His skin
looks great, and he is doing wonderfully on it. He
will lie in your lap all day if he is allowed, loves
children and LOVES playing fetch. He does get
very stressed when he sees other animals, so he
NEEDS to be only animal in the house.
AMY
Amy is an absolutely gorgeous cat who enjoys
napping curled up with the other cats. She is most
comfortable when she has some feline friends
around. She will let you pet her, but she will take
a little patience before she really warms up to new
people. She would do best in a quiet home where
she can gain some confidence in herself. For the
month of August, take advantage of our Feline
Frenzy where the adoption fee for all cats 9 months
and older has been lowered from $25 to $65!
CORKIE
Corkie is an adorable male Staffordshire terrier
who is approximately 4 years old and weighs
around 50 pounds. He is a well-behaved boy who
enjoys fetching his ball and playing with his toys.
He also is very obedient, will sit nicely and shake
hands on command. Typical of the breed, he aims
to please. He is housebroken and clean. Corkie is
a very gentle and patient dog who happily wags
his whole body with delight when he meets some-
one new. He is not living at the shelter, so please
call Animals for Life volunteer Carrie at 203-706-
5735 to meet him.
HOPE
Hope is a popular kitty down at the shelter! This
kittens favorite thing to do is to play, and the
volunteers enjoy playing with her. Hope gets along
well with other kitties. She will chase the light from
a flashlight for hours if you let her. Hope is around
2 months old, and she will make a great family cat
one who likes to act silly and then will cuddle
up in your lap afterwards! To learn more about
her, please call Animals For Life at 203-758-2933.

Stephen Savarese of Middle-
bury has been ordained as a dea-
con of the Roman Catholic
Church. The appointment was
made by Archbishop Henry
Mansell of the Diocese of Hart-
ford. Savarese has been assigned
a five-year position as deacon of
St. John of the Cross Church in
Middlebury.
The Rev. Denis Vincenzo, pas-
tor of St. Johns, said, I have
known the Savarese family since
1990, when I served as a deacon
here in Middlebury. In fact, Ste-
ves father was my doctor. I am
delighted to have him as our new
deacon. He is a talented and ded-
icated man
Vincenzo explained the func-
tion of a deacon is to assist the
priest in administering the sac-
raments, including baptism and
marriage, and in serving the
poor. A deacon can give the hom-
ily and lead prayer services. The
only things he cannot do are
anoint the sick, hear confessions
and celebrate Mass.
Savarese has been studying to
become a deacon for the past five
years, taking weekly classes in
Bloomfield, Conn. He receives a
small stipend from the church in
return for about 10 hours per
week of service.
Before becoming a deacon,
Savarese served St. Johns as an
extraordinary minister of Holy
Communion, a member of the
Parish Council, a member of the
Knights of Columbus (a mens
service organization in the
church) and a member of the
savarese ordained as deacon
of St. John of the Cross Church

versity and a doctorate in law
from American University in
Washington, D.C. He is a prac-
ticing attorney and lives in Mid-
dlebury with his wife and three
children.
