AUTHORITIES TO NAB SUSPECTS 

BY JACK MELTZER 

VILLAGER STAFF WRITER 

EASTFORD — On Wednesday Nov. 10, nearly 

eight months later, two men suspected of robbing 

the NewAlliance Bank at 4 Country Road 

were taken into custody. 

Christopher Boisvert, 20, of Ware, Mass., and 

Elijah Robinson, 19, of Hubbardston, Mass., 

were taken in by detectives from the Eastern 

District Major Crime Squad (EDMCS), and 

charged with conspiracy to commit robbery in 

the third degree and conspiracy to commit larceny 

in the third degree. 

According to police, the two men were taken 

into custody at the Cheshire County House of 

Correction in Keene, N.H. Both men were previously 

charged by New Hampshire authorities 

as fugitives from justice on Connecticut 

warrants. Both suspects waived extradition 

back to Connecticut and were serving time in 

New Hampshire for a bank robbery in Rindge, 

N.H. EDMCS detectives arrested the suspects 

at 12 p.m. at the state line in Thompson. 

“I think it’s a sign of good old-fashioned 

police work,” said Lt. J. Paul Vance, command-

WOODSTOCK VILLAGER 

Bradley Playhouse to present 

PUTNAM — As the time of year 

approaches once again for the world 

to ponder the true meaning of 

Christmas, The Theatre of 

Northeastern Connecticut at the 

Bradley Playhouse is proud to present 

the classic tale of greed and 

want, goodness and evil in Charles 

Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol.” 

The show opens Friday, Dec. 3, at 8 

p.m., and runs for three weekends, 

Dec. 4, 10, 11, 17 and 18 at 8 p.m., and 

Dec. 5, 12 and 19 at 2 p.m. 

Adapted for stage by local playwrights 

Victor and Claire Gregoire, 

and directed by Jon Carpentier, who 

is assisted by Carole Hayes, the infamous 

tale begins on Christmas Eve, 

seven years after the death of 

Ebeneezer Scrooge’s business partner 

Jacob Marley. Scrooge, played by 

Tom Stokes, is a greedy and stingy 

businessman who has no place in his 

life for kindness, compassion, charity, 

or benevolence. After being 

warned by Marley’s ghost portrayed 

by Mike Leferve, to change his ways, 

Scrooge is visited by three additional 

ghosts, who in turn accompany him, 

through moments of his life, with the 

hope of achieving his transformation. 

Carol Alderson, in the role of The 

Ghost of Christmas Past, is the first 

of the spirits who takes Scrooge to 

the scenes of his boyhood and youth. 

Sometimes painful other times joyful, 

these memories stir the old 

miser’s gentle and tender side by 

reminding him of a time when he 

was more innocent. 

The second spirit, the Ghost of 

Christmas Present, played by Josh 

Fontaine, takes Scrooge to several 

joy-filled scenes as families and 

friends prepare for the holiday festivities. 

Although his time is short, 

Christmas Present hopes to instill in 

Scrooge a sense of responsibility for 

his fellow man. 

The third spirit, the Ghost of 

Christmas Yet to Come, harrows 

Scrooge with dire visions of the 

future if he does not learn and act 

upon what he has witnessed. 

Scrooge’s own neglected and untended 

grave is revealed, 

prompting him to vow 

that he will change his 

ways in hopes of 

changing these “shadows 

of what may be.” 

In the final scenes, 

Scrooge awakens 

Christmas morning 

with joy and love in 

his heart. Scrooge has 

become a different 

man overnight, and 

now treats his fellow

compassion, gaining a reputation as 

a man who embodies the spirit of 

Christmas. The story closes with the

Waterman, confirms the permanence 

of Scrooge’s transformation.

traditions of England, but, while it 

brings to the audience images of 

light, joy, and warmth, it also brings 

strong and unforgettable images of 

darkness, despair, sadness and death. 

Scrooge himself is the embodiment 

of winter, and just as winter is followed 

by spring and the renewal of 

life, so too is Scrooge’s cold, pinched 

heart restored to the innocent goodwill 

he had known in his childhood. 

The Bradley Playhouse is a nonprofit 

community theater located at 

30 Front Street (Route 44) in Putnam. 

Tickets are available at Wonderland 

Books, 120 Main St., and Victoria 

Station Café, 91 Main St., both in 

Putnam. Tickets are $16 for adults 

and $13 for seniors and students. 

Reservations may be made with a 

major credit card online at

Quiet Corner Reads: A Collaboration of NE CT Libraries 

“Mrs. Darcy and the Blue-Eyed Stranger” 

Once in a while a collection of short stories jumps out at me. 

“Mrs. Darcy and the Blue-Eyed Stranger” by Lee Smith initially 

pulled me in because I thought that it would be related to 

“Pride and Prejudice,” by Jane Austen (which it wasn’t!), but it 

redeemed itself because every story was a little gem of its own. 

The settings were Southern, exotic to this Northerner, with a 

variety of ages and locales. Seven of the 14 stories were new for 

this volume and seven had been published in other collections. 

I felt like these stories placed me in the middle of a tight-knit 

community and treated me like family.

FSA asking producers to vote in 

County Committee Election 

Dawn Pindell, executive director of USDA’s 

Farm Service Agency (FSA) in Windham 

County, announced that County Committee 

elections are in progress. 

Ballots were mailed to eligible voters and 

must be returned by mail or to the office by 

Dec. 6. 

County committee members are elected by 

their peers to serve as the representative voice 

for agriculture producers in the county. They 

are responsible for communicating with 

USDA to ensure that national programs are 

adapted to fit local needs. The committee 

makes decisions on issues including commodity 

loans and payments, conservation programs, 

disaster assistance programs and 

emergency programs. 

Candidates for this election are Ezequial 

Garcia, Jonathan Sandness and Charles 

“Tim” Tyler. The person voted in will represent 

the towns of Ashford, Canterbury, 

Chaplin, Eastford, Hampton, Scotland and 

Windham. The new member will assume their 

role and related responsibilities on Jan. 1, 

2011. 

Westview hosts informative community health education 

program 

DAYVILLE — Nearly 65 people were motivated and empowered 

at Westview Health Care Center’s informative health education 

program entitled “An Ounce of Prevention: Plans For Healthy 

Aging,” held Wednesday, Oct. 20. 

The evening was led by Dr. Joseph J. Botta of Botta 

and Associates LLC, and included information and 

discussion regarding practicing a healthy lifestyle. 

Topics included regular physical activity, healthy 

eating, reducing stress and developing a social plan 

that will keep your mind active and engaged as your 

body ages. 

“Seeing so many faces in attendance solidifies that 

most everyone is seeking out the fabled ‘fountain of 

youth’ and with a strong level of motivation and a 

good knowledge base of what fights the aging 

process most everyone has the ability to live a healthier 

lifestyle,” said Joseph J. Botta, MD. “This is an 

important topic to promote and it is never too late to 

start taking care of yourself. I was happy to have 

worked with Westview to bring this topic to the community.” 

“The program offered a unique opportunity for 

participants to become empowered by the message 

that youthfulness is in reach for people of all ages, as 

long as you are open to keeping a positive outlook on 

maintaining good health,” said spokesperson Laura 

Pindell encourages minority and female 

producers to serve as county committee members 

in the future. It is important that the 

county committee is comprised of members 

who reflect the demographics of the local agriculture 

community. 

Farmers and ranchers who participate in 

FSA programs are eligible to vote. If a ballot 

was not received by mail, contact the office at 

860-774-8397, ext. 1. All ballots must be received 

or post marked by Dec. 6. 

For more information on county committees, 

view the FSA website at 

www.fsa.usda.gov/elections or visit a local 

USDA Service Center. 

Historical Society to publish 325th 

Anniversary book 

WOODSTOCK — In recognition of 

Woodstock’s 325th anniversary, the Woodstock 

Historical Society in early 2011 will publish a 

pictorial history of the town — its people, 

landscape, and formative events. 

“From the Roxbury Fells to the Eastward 

Vale: A Journey Through Woodstock, 1686- 

2011,” will be a 300-page, hardcover volume 

that chronicles the changing face of the town 

from the perspective of its village centers: 

North Woodstock, South Woodstock, East 

Woodstock, West Woodstock, Woodstock Hill, 

Woodstock Valley, and the Bugbee 

Neighborhood. The book will show the town’s 

development through over 400 illustrations, 

derived from landscape paintings, portraits, 

drawings, early photographs, maps, documents 

and ephemera from the Society’s 

archives and other private and institutional 

collections. This never-before-seen visual and 

written interpretation of the town’s history 

draws on previously unpublished and newly 

transcribed journals, letters, account books, 

deeds and documents. The volume will also 

include historic maps and aerial views of 

Woodstock by local photographer G. Leslie 

Sweetnam. 

“From the Roxbury Fells to the Eastward 

Vale: A Journey Through Woodstock, 1686- 

2011,” can be pre-ordered from the Woodstock 

Historical Society at a discount price of $49.95 

until Dec. 15. After the Dec. 15, the price will be 

$60. Order forms are available through the 

Woodstock Historical Society at 860-928-1035 or 

860-928-6148 or www.woodstockhistoricalsociety.org. 

Lee Crosetti. “Dr. Botta spoke of the latest treatment approaches, 

healthy eating habits and the multiple physical opportunities to 

assist in leading a healthy lifestyle during the aging process. We 

look forward to continuing these important informative programs 

to assist our community in making healthy choices.” 

Westview is planning additional educational forums on a variety 

of topics including medication management, memory loss, pain 

management, heart health, diabetes, arthritis and others.

Making the most of Black Friday 

WHAT IS IT? 

Itypically make the most of Black 

Friday by staying in bed versus 

getting up at 4 a.m. to shop, but 

this year is different. 

Like most people, my holiday budget 

is tight and I need to stretch it as far as 

it will go. Plus, the Black Friday deals 

look especially good this year! 

Ever wonder where the term “Black 

Friday” originated? 

Of course we know that Black 

Friday, the day after Thanksgiving, is 

the “official” start to the holiday shopping 

season. Merchants and the media 

have used the phrase “Black Friday” to 

refer to the beginning of the period in 

which retailers go from being in the 

red (i.e., posting a loss on the books) to 

being in the black (i.e., turning a profit). 

A successful holiday shopping season 

can make or break most retailers’ 

profit margins. 

If you are thinking of heading out to 

join the Black Friday shopping frenzy, 

here are some tips to make the most of 

your day. 

• Plan. In case you don’t know it, 

almost all of the Black Friday ads are 

out and available online! I have three 

favorite places to go for my Black 

Friday previews: BradsDeals.com, 

RetailMeNot.com and Black- 

Friday.net. This is a great opportunity 

to put your shopping list together, do 

some research and compare prices. 

• Be realistic. Chances are pretty 

good you are not going to be able to hit 

every store on Black Friday, especially 

those offering door buster specials. It’s 

also possible the store will be sold out 

o f 

the 

Thanksgiving is a good 

time to be thankful for 

those charitable, educational 

and religious 

groups that provide your community 

with valuable services. 

And now may be a good time 

to consider supporting these 

groups because, if you contribute 

before the year is over, 

you may “do well by doing 

good” through valuable tax 

deductions. 

To illustrate the benefit of these deductions, let’s assume 

you’re in the 25-percent tax bracket. If you give $100 to a 

qualified charity, you can deduct $100 (with a tax benefit of 

$25) when you file your taxes. Consequently, the real cost of 

your donation is just $75 ($100 minus the $25 tax savings). 

As you consider your charitable gifts, keep the following 

points in mind: 

You must donate — not just pledge. You can make a 

pledge to donate, but the amount is not deductible until you 

actually pay it. 

You must contribute to a qualified charitable group. For 

your gift to be deductible, it must go to a qualified taxexempt 

organization — either a religious group or a group 

that has received 501(c)(3) status from the IRS. If you’re 

unsure if the group you want to support is tax-exempt, just 

ask. 

You must itemize. To claim a charitable deduction, you 

must itemize deductions on your taxes. 

Thus far, we’ve talked only about cash gifts. But you may 

have other financial assets, such as stocks, that you can give 

to charitable groups, and these gifts also can earn you tax 

benefits. For example, suppose you give $500 worth of stock 

in XYZ Company to a charitable group. If you’re in the 25% 

tax bracket, you can deduct $125 when you file your taxes 

for 2010. But by donating the XYZ stock, you avoid paying 

any capital gains taxes you might have incurred if you had

items you are looking for by the time 

you get there. So prioritize and hit 

those stores with the most items on 

your list. Understand you’ll probably 

win a few and lose a few. 

• Bring your sales ads with you. 

There are many things to keep track of 

on Black Friday, so make it easy on 

yourself by bringing the sales ads with 

you. It will make it easy to compare 

prices, help ensure you are getting the 

right items and in some cases you may 

be able to get a price match. 

• Shop with a buddy. I always shop 

Black Friday with a buddy. First of all, 

we help get each other up at 4 a.m.! 

Shopping with a buddy is also more 

fun, and you can help each other grab 

the good deals. A lunch out is also a 

great way to end the shopping morning. 

• Keep the Kids at Home. I could also 

say keep your spouse/significant other 

at home but that could get me into 

trouble. Black Friday shopping is pressure 

shopping, and to get the best deals 

you need to avoid distractions. If you 

only need to pick up one or two things, 

bringing the kids shouldn’t be an 

sold the stock yourself. 

Making charitable gifts now may help you reduce 

the size of your estate and potentially lower any 

future estate tax burden on your heirs. Right now, 

federal estate tax laws are in flux, but it’s possible 

that, one day, your estate might be large enough to 

generate estate taxes. If you wanted to formalize 

your charitable gifts and help your estate planning, 

you might consider establishing a charitable remainder 

trust. Under such an arrangement, you’d place 

some assets, such as stocks or real estate, in a trust, 

which could then use these assets to pay you a lifetime 

income stream. When you establish the trust, 

you may be able to receive a tax deduction based on the 

charitable group’s “remainder interest” — the amount the 

charity is likely to ultimately receive. (This figure is determined 

by an IRS formula.) Upon your death, the trust would 

relinquish the remaining assets to the charitable organization 

you’ve named. Keep in mind, though, that this type of 

trust can be complex. To establish one, you’ll need to work 

with your tax and legal advisors. 

In any case, be generous during this season of giving. 

You’ll be helping a charitable 

group accomplish its worthy goals 

— and you may be helping yourself 

when tax time arrives.

issue, but if you have serious shopping 

to do it is best to go at it alone — or 

with your buddy. 

• Bring snacks and drinks. You don’t 

want to spend valuable shopping time 

looking for food and drinks. You may 

also find yourself waiting in a lot of 

lines, so having a snack and something 

to drink will be a big help. 

• Have fun! Shopping under pressure 

is often not much fun, so do what you 

can to keep it jovial. Laugh. Take a 

minute to look at holiday decorations. 

The reality is there are going to be hot 

deals from now until after January so 

you won’t be missing out on the last 

great sale. Black Friday is the start of a 

beautiful holiday season meant to be 

enjoyed and treasured. 

You could always skip Black Friday 

altogether and hit Cyber Monday 

instead! Cyber Monday is one of the 

absolute best days to score online 

deals, and you may find they are just as 

good, if not better, than Black Friday 

deals. Shipping is almost always free 

so you can relax at home and let those 

holiday gifts simply arrive at your 

doorstep.

…And justice for all 

“…With liberty and justice for 

all.” 

So ends our pledge to the starspangled 

banner. I believe another 

word should be added. Justice 

should be defined as “equal.” 

Unfortunately, there are many 

instances when this is not the case. 

I’m going to cite three of them of 

which I’m familiar. 

I’ll begin with a minor example 

featuring our minor citizens, namely 

the 13- to 16-year-old crowd. Why 

not? “All” is all-inclusive isn’t it? I’m 

certain everyone is aware of the 

ticket prices displayed in most cinema 

lobbies. The moment a youngster 

enters the teenage bracket 

he/she must pay the adult price. 

However, this new teen is prohibited 

from watching an adult movie. That 

is, unless this individual is in the 

company of a parent or guardian. I 

understand this is the law. But is it 

ROUND

fair? 

I’m sure I’d be more vehement if I 

hadn’t reached my 18th birthday. Yet 

even though I’m far removed from 

that idyllic age I can’t help wondering 

why an intermediate price of 

admission hasn’t been set for this 

maligned group. This might satisfy 

both the teen and the teen-offender. 

I’ll go on to more serious violations 

of justice for all. 

Early last month, a judge sitting 

on the bench in Jackson, Miss., 

jailed an attorney for five hours for 

his refusal to recite the Pledge of 

Allegiance in open court. When 

Judge Talmadge Littlejohn became 

convinced that lawyer Danny 

Lampley was not going to yield to 

the demand, Judge Littlejohn then 

charged Lampley with criminal contempt 

and he was escorted behind 

bars. I assume the judge later relented 

and ordered Lampley freed 

because of realizing he’d exceeded 

his authority. The reason I say this is 

because I know of at least one large 

religious group which will not 

salute the flag nor recite the pledge. 

Who knows, perhaps Lampley 

may have been a member of this 

sect. He most assuredly didn’t 

receive equal justice, especially if 

this brief imprisonment isn’t 

expunged from his record. I hope it 

is for his sake since I feel an attorney 

with a rap sheet might have 

trouble attracting clients. 

Of far greater significance, 

though, is the tragic story of James 

Tillman, which I wrote about a 

few weeks ago. For those who may 

have missed it, Mr. Tillman was 

wrongly convicted of the kidnapping, 

beating, robbery and rape of a 

Hartford woman. This miscarriage 

of justice cost him 18 bitter years of 

his freedom before the actual criminal 

was found. The state awarded 

Tillman $5 million before the actual 

criminal was found. The state 

awarded Tillman $5 million for its 

mistake. But the shocker as far as I 

am concerned was the revelation 

that the statute of limitations 

regarding rape had run out. The 

most the real culprit, Duanne Foster, 

could receive is a relative paltry 11 

years. 

To me, rape is a heinous crime, 

second only to premeditated murder. 

In fact, some poor women never 

recover from the attack. The law is 

the law, I suppose, but it should be 

changed. In addition, it’s really too 

bad Foster can’t be sentenced to 

serve the 18 years Tillman lost out of 

his life. Almost two decades. It’s 

quite a chunk! Who knows how long 

anybody will be around. 

Naturally, there are more examples 

of gross unfairness. But my 

space is limited. Anyone disagreeing 

with me will have to explain to 

me very carefully why justice 

shouldn’t be equal for all.

Learning to ‘love your local’ 

“Love Your 

Local.” 

–IndieBound 

There are a lot of stories 

in the media 

right now about 

shopping local, supporting 

small businesses, 

and nurturing the local community. 

All kinds of “shop local” campaigns are 

encouraging and promoting this movement. 

American Express has launched a new campaign 

called “Small Business Saturday,” 

which is to follow in the footsteps of the famed 

“Black Friday” and “Cyber Monday.” 

American Express’s mission is to encourage 

holiday shoppers to shop at small businesses 

this holiday season, especially on Saturday, 

Nov. 27, the Saturday after Thanksgiving, 

which is to be known as “Small Business 

S a t u r d a y ” 

(http://smallbusinesssaturday.com/). 

IndieBound, a community-minded organization, 

was started by the American 

Booksellers Association to encourage consumers 

to buy books from their local independent 

bookstores. In addition to their famed 

slogan, “Love Your Local,” IndieBound has a 

wide variety of other slogans, promotional 

materials, and resources for local businesses 

THE

to 

use 

(www.indiebound.org/). With 

Thanksgiving and the winter 

holidays upon us, holiday 

shopping is certainly on our 

minds. How might we help the 

environment by buying locally? 

Less packaging is used 

when we buy goods from local 

businesses. Often when people 

purchase from online retailers, items are 

shipped from manufacturers to an online company’s 

distribution center. These same items 

have to be inventoried, taken out of their 

“shipped in” boxes, and then repackaged to be 

sent to the on-line consumer. Generally, small 

business owners go to manufacturers/community 

retailers directly, even in person, to 

get the products they will sell or use. Most of 

the time the bulk items shipped to local businesses 

will not be repackaged to be sent out 

again to consumers. 

Transportation costs can be much lower if 

people shop locally. IndieBound’s list of the 

top 10 reasons to buy local, entitled “Here’s 

What You Just Did By Shopping Here,” underscores 

that much less fuel is used in transporting 

goods when they come from local entities 

and not from companies that are far away. 

Also, when shoppers buy locally, they drive 

much shorter distances; perhaps they can 

even bike or walk! 

According to an article in Time magazine 

entitled “Buying Local” (Schwartz 2009), when 

you purchase goods in your local community, 

you are more likely to buy products that are 

well made and safe. The neighborhood businesses 

stand behind their products because 

they know that you can come back if you are 

not satisfied with an item: they are accountable 

for the quality of their merchandise. This 

is particularly important due to the recent 

scares over alleged contamination issues 

related to products from some foreign manufacturers. 

Products that are well made and of 

higher quality tend to last longer than cheaply 

made items. Thus, fewer items are thrown 

away and less “trash” ends up in incinerators 

or landfills. 

Local businesses may also have a more positive 

impact on the community’s scenic landscape; 

these retailers are concerned about the 

feel of the community and try to keep their 

store’s footprint in tune with the area’s “vibe.” 

Also, communities that support their local 

farmers’ market, for example, ensure that 

farms stay in business and that beautiful open 

space and picturesque landscapes remain. In 

addition, local business owners often give 

back to the community by either volunteering 

their time or by donating to local causes, some 

of which are environmentally focused. 

Shopping at local businesses guarantees that 

more money (sales tax) remains in the community. 

More tax dollars in your neighborhood 

may mean that more money is available 

for use in the protection of open space, conservation 

projects, and other environmentally 

minded programs (www.indiebound.org/). 

How do you find out about the local businesses 

in your community? Check local 

papers, newsletters, online resources, and ask 

friends and family. Word of mouth is often the 

best way to discover your community’s local 

hidden gems (businesses). It’s key to go to your 

favorite local place, such as a restaurant or 

bookstore, to ask them for recommendations 

on where to find the best local hardware store, 

farmers’ market, or specialty retailer. People 

who work for local businesses are happy to 

offer advice and tips because they know the 

people who run the other local establishments, 

have actually been to the local businesses, 

and know all about the community. 

Not only will you be stimulating the local 

economy, but you will also be helping to protect 

the environment at the same time. 

As the IndieBound organization says, “Love 

Your Local.”

Giving 

thanks 

While many of us eat our turkey, 

stuffing and mashed potatoes, 

watch football (Patriots vs. 

Lions!) and joke around with 

family members this Thanksgiving, take a 

moment to think about those who may not 

be as fortunate. Be thankful for everything 

you have, because, as many of us know, it 

can all be taken away at 

any moment.

EDITOR 

This week, the week 

before Thanksgiving, we 

opened up the paper to you, 

our readers, telling us what 

you are thankful for. The 

answers were as many as 

they were varied. We are 

encouraged by you, and in 

turn, we began to think 

about all we are thankful 

for. 

To our columnists and 

submitters — thank you for 

providing our newspaper 

with quality content week after week. Your 

views, opinions and updates give the readers an 

honest perspective into the jobs and lives of the 

Quiet Corner’s most unique personalities. 

Whether it’s stories about nature, financial 

endeavors, saving money, the local churches, or 

even normal, everyday life — this community 

is full of diverse people — something we all 

should be thankful for. 

To our advertisers — thank you for investing 

your hard-earned money into our publications. 

Your investments literally make this paper run, 

and we would be nothing without you. 

Hopefully, having your ads in our paper helps 

all of you out in return. 

To the schools — thank you for allowing us to 

document the accomplishments of some of the 

most talented students, teachers and athletes in 

the area. It is truly encouraging to see such talented 

people doing such great things. We look 

forward to the tremendous feats your children 

will accomplish in the future. 

To the local governments — thank you for 

granting us access to Town Hall with open 

arms and being open to discuss some of the 

area’s hottest issues. Your cooperation gives the 

readers a great insight into what it takes to run 

a town. 

And last but not least — to all of you, the readers, 

you who so faithfully pick up this newspaper 

and read it (or look at all the pretty pictures), 

and for those of you who actively get 

involved with it, sending us submissions, photos, 

calendar items, briefs and stories. 

We are thankful for the compliments as well 

as the criticisms. It is the healthy balance of 

both that makes this newspaper what it is. 

So, on the eve of this year’s Thanksgiving, 

and in the spirit of gratefulness that defines 

this holiday, we say those two words that we 

should say more often to all of you. 

Thank you.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR 

‘A veteran is always a veteran’ 

To the Editor: 

I’m thanking all people who made all our 

[Veterans Day] programs a success in Thompson. 

We had three, and we did lots of work preparing 

for each. So many individuals put in countless 

hours to get a program together. I look forward to 

others. 


The third annual running of the Thompson 

Turkey Trot, a 5K cross country race at the West 

Thompson Dam, occurred Sunday, Nov. 14. 

I’ve had the pleasure of running all three incarnations 

of this race and watching it grow from a 

foundling 50-person race in 2008 to a well-oiled 150 

person race in 2010. 

The race was co-sponsored by Thompson 

Recreation and the Thompson Trails Committee 

and put together by the race coordinator, Mike 

Lajuenesse. It’s evident that a lot of planning and 

hard work go into making this race a success. Signup 

and race packet pick-up were seamless. The trail 

portions of the course were freshly raked and 

signed. There were volunteers (thanks!) at the nonobvious 

turning points, ensuring that racers stayed 

on course. All in all, this race is run with a high 

level of efficiency and reflects very well on our 

community. 

Speaking of community, on top of being wellorganized, 

this race is simply teeming with community 

spirit. One just need look around to see and 

feel the community. It is truly palpable. 

Particularly striking this year was the number of 

families that had more than one member running 

the race. A quick glance at the race results reveals 

Remember, a veteran is always a veteran, not just 

on Veterans Day. We served so others did not have 

to. 

Turkey Trot a success (again)

the same surnames over and over again. One 

Thompson family was had its entire six-person 

nuclear family running! What a great way to spend 

a day with the kids, embrace strong social values 

and get some exercise at the same time. 

This year’s race enjoyed a significant representation 

from area cross country teams. Making the 

race more interesting, an award was presented to 

the team with the best five combined times. The 

laurels went home with the Woodstock Wildcats. 

Another way the race keeps community at the 

core is through its use of the race proceeds. These 

proceeds are split between the TEEG food bank and 

the Thompson Trails Committee; both very worthwhile 

causes. 

As a Thompson resident and avid runner, I would 

just like to take a moment to thank all of those 

involved in continuing to make this race a reality. 

The Thompson Trails Committee, Thompson 

Recreation, Mike Lajuenesse and all of the sponsors 

and volunteers did a bang up job and deserve a 

huge pat on the back. It’s events like this that make 

me proud to be a citizen of Thompson. Thank you! 

The new American Dream 

ROBERT PATON 

THOMPSON 


In light of this past election in Connecticut, I 

have come to realize what the new American 

Dream is. 

It is to live in debt and dream that the government 

will never run out of money and that they 

will take care of you. This view is shared by the 

majority of the voting public. These people love 

grant money and believe it is not funded from 

income tax, paid by the middle class. The dream is 

turning into a nightmare. 

Connecticut is deep in debt. Who will pay the tab? 

Will it be the people who spent the money and got 

re-elected? I think not. Maybe we should raise the 

bottle bill to $1 per container and say it is to keep 

Connecticut green. All the unclaimed deposits go to 

the Department of Revenue and they need all the 

green they can get. I am sure we will have more hidden 

taxes so the incumbents can get re-elected. 

To all the candidates who won, I congratulate 

you. I believe you want what is best for 

Connecticut. But remember that the magic is for 

Foxwoods. We sometimes have champagne taste on 

a beer wallet. I still have the means to raise a glass 

of beer to you. With hopes of lower taxes, it will be 

champagne. 

I would like to say to the minority of voters — 

keep on doing what you do best. Set an example for 

your children and co-workers daily by your good 

character, moral values, sound money management 

and living within your means. Our numbers 

will grow and because of you we will all prosper. 

Get out your pens and pencils 


I have no idea what happened to all the zoning 

experts in Brooklyn who have been rebuffed by different 

judges and courts on several occasions so far. 

I said from day one this great 24-hour endeavor 

would soon be in business in your great town. I 

guess the small minority has either run out of pens 

or pencils and possibly money as well, as I see no 

responses to my letters the past several months. 

After all the legal fees being wasted, perhaps they 

now realize that this “out-of-town zoning guru” 

does know something about how local municipal 

government works. 

It appears to me the little next door neighbor will 

not have to pursue a law degree after all, as the 

judges and the courts are taking care of this matter 

rather nicely. And besides, by the time I get my law 

degree, there will be no more money to pay me or 

anyone else who hates this company and now has 

run out of any argument to defend what they 

believe. 

I guess without pens, pencils, money and one 

chance in a zillion of being victorious, it is time to 

accept the inevitable before these aristocrats go by 

the way of Wall Street and finally concede that 

THOMAS POPLAWSKI 

NORTH GROSVENORDALE 

money can’t buy everything like the last recent election 

proved. 

I am not surprised that there has been no 

response — simply like I tried over and over again 

to these wealthy people after blowing all that money 

— they never had a valid point or argument in the 

first place. They still don’t and have paid for a very 

expensive zoning lesson to no avail! 

Get out your pens and pencils if you can afford 

them and let’s hear from the “well-organized minority” 

who have fallen by the wayside, and perhaps 

out of ideas, money or other impediment. 

Again, my favorite quotation bears repeating — 

“It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool 

than to speak (and write) and remove all doubt.” 

It is too bad it costs many thousand wasted dollars 

to learn this simple lesson. 

See you all at the front door at the grand opening 

if you can afford to be there! 

Your very involved zoning guru and your nextdoor 

neighbor … 

Allow full voting for selectmen 


What is wrong with allowing full voting for all the 

members on the Board of Selectmen? 

Doing the right thing is the right thing to do. If 

you only want to vote for one or two, you can, but it 

would also allow those who would like to vote for all 

three their right to vote for all three. 

It’s a win-win for all. A political party can continue 

to put two candidates on the ballot if they chose, 

the voters can continue to vote for two if they wish 

but it also allows a political party to put up to three 

SOUND OFFS 

Where’s the common sense? 

SOUND OFF: 

Infant bus, or school bus? 

As a taxpayer in the town of Killingly, I am 

appalled at the recent decision by the superintendent, 

transportation supervisor and the Board of 

Education to allow a 2-month-old infant to ride on 

an 89 passenger school bus. 

Where’s the common sense in this? 

A bus driver has enough responsibilities to worry 

about — the lives and safety of the school children 

— nevermind putting an infant on a school bus. The 

superintendent, the transportation supervisor and 

the Board of Education should use some common 

sense when thinking about the safety of this infant. 

God forbid, a school bus gets into an accident and

KILLINGLY 

candidates on the ballot and everyone the right to 

vote for all three. 

Why would anyone want to prevent the “popular 

vote” of all three on the Board of Selectmen? I 

invite public comment to understand why this is 

not a good thing. 

It just makes good common sense and its time is 

due. 

FORD FAY 

POMFRET 

this infant gets seriously hurt. Who’s going to be 

liable when that bus driver (who’s being allowed to 

take the infant on the school bus) sues the town? 

The answer — taxpayers will have to pay this 

burden. 

Over the past couple years, the Board of 

Education and the Superintendent have shoved 

enough stuff down the people’s throat in the town of 

Killingly by forcing us the get a new high school — 

where does this nonsense end? 

I encourage taxpayers to call the superintendent’s 

office and the transportation supervisor to voice 

their displeasure in allowing this 2-month-old 

infant to ride on an 89-passenger school bus. 

Winter 

in the 

waiting 

room 

Early one morning, 

when the sharp sound 

of wind driven ice 

scratched me into consciousness 

from a deep sleep, I 

faced the fact that winter is 

here. 

At least for a day or so. 

One of the 

most chall 

e n g i n g 

aspects of living 

in New 

England is 

the fickle 

nature of 

weather. It 

makes us feel 

a bit insecure, 

even on 

NANCY WEISS edge. We wait 

on the cusp of 

one season 

moving into another. 

I made an appointment to get 

my husband’s car serviced. 

Making preparations for 

impending challenges gives me 

a sense of control. If I get 

everything organized, I believe, 

no disasters will befall us. Of 

course, this attitude is naïve. 

Fate, luck, and chance play a 

big role in life, but as humans, 

we have to look toward the 

future or nothing meaningful 

would ever get done. 

Soon, I found myself with 

several other people in the 

waiting room at the service station. 

Time to fill the cars with 

vital juices and think about 

snow tires and ice scrapers. In 

the sudden camaraderie that 

springs up among strangers 

standing in line or sitting for 

an indeterminate time together, 

conversation moved from 

the general to the personal. 

We agreed that winter had 

snuck up on us, but we were 

making up for lost time. An elderly 

woman described the trip 

she was planning to spend the 

holidays in Vermont with relatives. 

She was going to drive, as 

she always did, and had 

mapped out many different 

routes to take. 

While I could not imagine 

her barreling up I-91, she had a 

clear idea of her capabilities. If 

the car and the weather cooperated, 

she was equal to the drive. 

She would combat the vagaries 

of chance with good tread on 

her tires and adequate washer 

fluid. 

Thanksgiving is next week. 

Christmas decorations, and the 

incredibly annoying sound 

tracks that accompany the holiday 

have been wafting through 

stores since Halloween. We roll 

from one holiday to the other in 

a wave of cheesy images 

designed to make us feel that 

with enough preparation, the 

holidays will be perfect. Time 

is needed for list making and 

contemplation before we are 

swept up in the whirl. 

Waiting rooms are good 

places to think. There is little 

to do, but welcome a space 

where nothing is going to happen 

until a process, we can’t 

control, is complete. It is a fine 

time to talk to strangers, look 

at old magazines or watch the 

world go by outside the window. 

Busyness stops because it 

must. There is no rushing in a 

waiting room. 

We feel ambushed by the 

relentless pace of life, because 

there are so many distractions. 

My new cell phone holds my e- 

mail messages. I am never 

away from multiple reminders 

of what else I could be doing 

and whom else I could be 

answering. 

As the holidays approach, we 

may find more joy in planning 

and anticipation than in feeling 

we are behind before we 

even begin. When I got up to 

leave the service station, I gathered 

up my belongings. I felt a 

bit more rested and relaxed 

than when I first sat down. 

A little waiting gives us time 

to sense the true pace of life 

and nature. Winter will come 

whether I answer my e-mails or 

not. The weather will change in 

its eternally unpredictable way. 

The holidays will fill with the 

annual mixture of nostalgia, 

pleasure, disappointment and 

surprise. 

Meanwhile we check the 

antifreeze in our vehicles, stuff 

the cracks and crannies with 

some insulation, and anticipate 

a season that offers moments 

for creativity, reflection and 

adventures.

Veterans Day celebration raises big money 

SOMEPLACE SPECIAL HOSTS CELEBRITY BARTENDERS NIGHT, 

RAISES $3K FOR AMERICAN LEGION 



PUTNAM — American Legion 

Post 13 celebrated Veterans Day in 

style Thursday, Nov. 11, by presenting 

a Celebrity Bartenders Night 

hosted by Someplace Special 

Restaurant. 

Celebrities on hand included 

Miss Connecticut 2006 Heidi 

Voight; Former Red Sox catcher 

Roger LaFrancois, WTNH Channel 

8 reporter Sara Welch and WFSB 

Channel 3 news reporter Kevin 

Hogan. Proceeds from the event 

went into aiding local youth programs 

for the American Legion. 

According to Sarah Hamby of 

American Legion Post 13, the event 

raised $3,000 in support of the Tri- 

Town American Legion Baseball 

League, Boys and Girls State, and 

the State Police Youth Academy. 

Nearly $1,000 came from the sale of 

raffle tickets and more than $2,000 

was donated through tips from 

celebrity bartenders. Hamby also 

said that a $1,000 donation was 

anonymously donated sometime in 

the night. 

“The funds raised will also assist 

us as we continue to promote 

Americanism in our schools,” said 

Hamby. “We are grateful to all of 

Emily Lajoie, 17, left, of Woodstock, with her uncle Someplace 

Special manager Mike Vassar. 

those who attended, to our celebrity 

bartenders, to the staff and management 

of Someplace Special in 

Putnam and to the veterans of all 

of our Armed Forces.” 

The raffle included various duffle 

bags, golf bags, a Heineken electric 

guitar, and various American 

Legion apparel, including hats and 

shirts. Also included in the raffle 

Naomi Peterson, of Pomfret, with President of the Putnam Business Association Ron 

Coderre. 

were gift baskets and 

bottles of wine. 

“We are here today 

to honor our vets,” 

said former Marine 

Corps veteran and Someplace 

Special Manager Mike Vassar. “We 

have vets going all the way back 

from World War II, Korean War, 

and the present war going on now. 

Someplace Special is honored to 

host this event for the veterans.” 

Veterans on hand included three 

generations of the Barylski family 

— Andrew Barylski, a Pearl 

Harbor survivor, his son Andrew, a 

Vietnam veteran, and Dennis 

Barylski, a veteran of the Middle 

East conflict. Edward Briere, a 

World War II prisoner of war, was 

also in attendance. Other World 

War II veterans that came out 

included Vic Lippiello, Joe 

Bousquet and Peter Trama. 

“This is a fantastic turnout and a 

huge success,” said WINY Radio 

owner and on-air personality Gary 

Osbrey. “The real stars of the night 

are the veterans. We are saluting 

them. It’s important to have these 

things — it’s good for the community.” 

Through the collaborative efforts 

of American Legion Post 13 commander 

Norman Seney, and 

Jack Meltzer photos 

WINY Radio owner and on-air personality Gary Osbrey shows off his bartending skills. 

Legionnaires Ron Coderre, 

Don Reid, and Donald 

Steinbrick, and Rick 

Carnahan, came up with the 

idea of thanking any veteran 

from Northeastern 

Connecticut who has ever 

served their country. 

“We were exploring ways 

to raise funds for the youth 

activities associated with 

the National American 

Legion and came up with 

this idea,” Seney said. “We 

contacted a number of veterans 

and a few state and 

local celebrities and came 

up with this evening.” 

“I feel good about what I 

could do for the Veterans,” 

said Emily Lajoie, 17, of 

Woodstock, who sang the 

“Star-Spangled Banner” to a 

packed crowd that was nearly 

brought to tears.

A streak of pink 

THOMPSON SCHOOLS RAISE AWARENESS FOR BREAST CANCER 

BY CLARE HOPKINS 


THOMPSON — Thompson students 

were streaked pink last 

Wednesday, Nov. 10, to help raise 

money and awareness in honor of 

Breast Cancer Awareness Month. 

The event at the elementary and 

middle schools was put on by Lisa 

Bodreau, owner of Finally Lisa’s 

Hair Salon in Southbridge, Mass. 

“It’s something where you can 

raise money, awareness, but also let 

people know you care,” said 

Bodreau. 

Bodreau worked with Paula Reil 

and Lauren Pettinelli to spray 

streaks of pink and put in pink 

extensions. Girls, boys, parents and 

even teachers came by to have their 

hair streaked. 

“In my industry it’s very easy to 

wear pink, but for someone in 

another type of job it takes a lot of 

courage to wear pink,” said 

Bodreau. “And it’s hard to walk 

around and wear pink hair, but it’s 

a lot harder for women with breast 

cancer to wear a wig or just get out 

of bed every morning.” 

Bodreau said that besides raising 

money, they hope that the pink 

streaks will help raise awareness 

for the cause and show support for 

Clare Hopkins photos 

Employees at Finally Lisa’s Hair Salon Lauren Pettinelli and Paula Reil with Thompson teacher Michelle Roy and Lisa Bodreau. 

“Without an amazing team 

behind me I couldn’t do it,” said 

Bodreau. 

But her team is more than willing 

to give their time to help a 

cause that has touched the lives of 

so many. 

“Cancer has affected all of us in a 

different way,” said Paula Reil, who 

works at Finally Lisa’s and has 

donated much of her time to go out 

and help raise money. 

Clare Hopkins may be reached at 

(860) 928-1818, ext. 112, or by e-mail 

at clare@villagernewspapers.com. 

those who need it. 

“The message is a positive one, 

and to show that we care,” she said. 

“Sometimes you just need to know 

someone cares.” 

Bodreau and the other hairdressers 

from her salon have gone 

to schools, nursing homes, hospitals, 

and other venues to streak 

people’s hair pink for the cause. 

Bodreua said each place they go to 

chooses which organization to give 

the money to and she and her team 

act as facilitators. 

“We’re honored to do it,” she 

said. 

The money raised at Thompson 

last Wednesday will go to the 

American Cancer Society through 

their Relay for Life team, 

“Michael’s Marchers,” named after 

a student from the school who 

passed away from cancer. Teacher 

Louise Morrisson said this is why 

she got involved with the Relay, and 

helped coordinate Bodreau’s event 

at the school. 

“When Lisa told me about the 

pink hair we decided that was a 

good way to raise money for the 

Relay,” said Morrisson. “It’s a good 

way to raise awareness because we 

have so many kids who have dealt 

with cancer in some way.” 

This is the third year the salon 

has done such events throughout 

October, and this year they raised 

more than $6,500 for the cause. 

Bodreau and employees of her 

salon donate their own time to go 

out to different venues and streak 

people’s hair pink.

SPORTS 

Woodstock claims perfection, QVJC crown 

HOLDS OPPONENTS NEARLY SCORELESS ALL SEASON TO SECURE CHAMPIONSHIP 

BY BENJAMIN R. KIPP 

SPORTS CORRESPONDENT 

WOODSTOCK — For the third straight year, 

the Woodstock middle school girls’ soccer 

team has won the Quinebaug Valley Junior 

Conference (QVJC) Championship. 

This year, the Lady Centaurs beat Killingly, 

5-1, in the championship game, culminating a 

perfect, 12-0 season. What may be overlooked 

by the perfect season was the fact that they 

gave up only one goal the entire year and were 

within five minutes of not giving up a single 

goal all season long. 

First year head coach Tyler Panteleakos had 

guarded optimism about how well the Lady 

Centaurs could potentially be this year. 

“We went the whole regular season and the 

playoffs without giving up a goal,” said 

Panteleakos. 

The QVJC league is made up of teams from 

St. James, Pomfret, Killingly, Thompson, 

Putnam, Parish Hill, Eastford and Brooklyn. 

It was no surprise that the lady Centaurs 

defense — made up of stopper Ellie Redfield, 

sweeper Anna Grudzinski and goalie 

Annabell Schaket — was the strength to this 

year’s team. 

“Down the middle of the defense, or stopper, 

sweeper and goalie were unbelievable for us,” 

said Panteleakos. “It’s tough enough to win 

ever game period, but to only give up one goal 

the entire season was incredible.” 

Offensively, Molly Schroder and Rhone 

O’Hara were the top scorers on the team, scoring 

roughly 15 goals each. As a team the lady 

Centaurs scored roughly five goals a game. 

“Most teams had four to five really good 

girls, I was fortunate that I had just about all 11 

players that are really, really good,” said 

Panteleakos. 

Panteleakos said he knew that the expectations 

for a dominating season were on the 

horizon this year. What he didn’t know was 

how it would actually happen. From day one, 

Panteleakos envisioned what he saw on the T- 

shirts of a few girls. 

“They were wearing last year’s QVJC 

Champions shirts and I told the girls, ‘Let’s go 

win and earn the 2010 QVJC Championship,’” 

he said. “I think it shows that as a town these 

girls are dedicated to the sport of soccer.” 

Panteleakos was fortunate that most of 

these girls play on alternate soccer leagues 

that help develop additional soccer skills 

which helped them this season. 

“Going through practices, I could tell that 

these girls were good, but it was a surprise 

after the first two games they won 5-0 then 7-0. 

I just realized how much talent we really had 

on this year’s team,” said Panteleakos. 

Panteleakos said he was impressed with the 

play of goalie Shacket. 

“She was not only the vocal leader, but I 

think she started to get things going at practice 

everyday,” he said. “When things got 

tough on the defensive side of the field, she 

was always the one who picked off that pass 

and get the ball to prevent that score. She 

played every single minute of every game.” 

Lela Miller was a girl that flew under the 

radar and averaged just about one goal a game 

this season. With defenses focusing on 

Schroder and O’Hara as the one-two scoring 

combinations, Miller stepped in an provided 

the knock out punch. 

“She just seemed to be in the right place at 

the right time, all the time,” said Panteleakos. 

“She’s not a huge physical player, but she was 

very, very smart and always right where she 

needed to be.” 

Pride shuts down Bullard, takes second place 

BY BRIAN AUSTIN 


BRIDGEPORT — Last Saturday afternoon, 

Nov. 13, the Quinebaug Valley Pride traveled 

two-and-a-half hours to Bridgeport, taking on 

Constitution State Conference rival Bullard 

Havens. 

The Pride and the Tigers, heading into the 

game, were tied for second place in the CSC 

with 5-1 records, both having lost to 

Manchester’s Cheney Tech. The Tigers had 

Nicholas Rodriguez at quarterback — the conference’s 

leading rusher in both yards and 

touchdowns — but the Pride was able to shut 

him down for much of the game. The Tigers 

could only put six points on the board, and 

twice were stopped late in the game deep into 

Pride territory. The Pride would retake the 

lead in the third quarter and hung on for a 20- 

6 win. 

The Pride took the lead on their first offensive 

series of the game, as Shane Gleim’s 62- 

yard dash down the left side of the field set up 

Mike Siefert’s 1-yard touchdown run two plays 

later. The point after kick missed target, leaving 

the Pride’s lead at 6-0. 

The Havens opened the second half attempting 

an onside kick, which they recovered. The 

next play, they went for gold as Rodriguez 

found Equan Brooks downfield and connected 

for a 49-yard touchdown strike. The two-point 

try failed, so the game remained tied. 

The Tigers tried to grab an onside kick 

again, but the second time was not as successful, 

as a Bullard Havens player touched the 

ball before it traveled 10 yards. The Pride had 

the ball in Tiger territory, but three plays later 

coughed it up when Tony Mantelli made a bad 

pass and was picked off by Bullard’s Manny 

Montalvo. But two plays later, the Tigers fumbled 

the ball and the Pride’s Norman Henry 

recovered on the Tigers’ 31-yard line. Three 

plays and a Tigers penalty later, Gleim had a 5- 

yard touchdown run. Siefert’s two-point conversion 

turned the game into an 8-point lead. 

The Tigers, on their next series, went three 

and out, quickly giving the Pride the ball back 

and putting more momentum behind the visitors. 

Shane Herhily, on 3rd and 16, deep in 

their own territory, ran 36 yards to midfield, 

while Gleim and Siefert kept pushing downfield 

bit by bit the rest of the way. On 4th and 6 

from the 31, the Pride went for it and the gamble 

paid off, as Gleim broke through a hole in 

the line and slipped to the left side for a touchdown 

run. 

The Tigers got the ball back, and pushed 

their way down to the Pride 25-yard line. 

However, two straight incomplete passes and a 

takedown in the backfield put Bullard Havens 

on the 31 for 4th down. Unlike the Pride, the 

Tigers were not successful in converting. 

Instead, Rodriguez’s pass was intercepted by 

Keith Scott. But on the very next play, the 

Pride fumbled and Deavon Buster jumped on 

the ball giving it back to Bullard Havens on 

the Pride 26-yard line. The Tigers made their 

way down to the 7, but on three straight plays 

were denied a score. On fourth down, 

Rodriguez’s pass to the end zone was broken 

up and fell out of harm’s way for the Pride. 

From there, the Pride were able to run down 

the last five minutes off the clock. The win 

gave them their sixth win of the year, and second 

place in the CSC. 

Lady Tigers pressing on in postseason play 



THOMPSON — Finishing the regular season 

with a 9-5-2 record, the Tourtellotte Lady 

Tigers soccer team barely made it into the 

Connecticut Interscholastic Conference 

(CIAC) playoffs. 

But even if they did squeak in by the skin of 

their teeth, the Lady Tigers are certainly making 

the most of their opportunity. 

Once the postseason arrives, anything can 

happen, and for the first time since 2006, 

Tourtellotte is headed to the Final Four. 

“We’ve had the capability all season — we’ve 

just haven’t played the full 80 minutes,” said 

20-year veteran Tourtellotte Head Coach 

Debbie Spinelli. “We’d play a good first half 

and not the second half and vise versa. But 

now we’re finally putting a whole game 

together.” 

“Win or go home” is the motto of the Lady 

Tigers, as they took on Morgan (Wednesday, 

Nov. 17, at Lyman Memorial, after the 

Villager’s deadline) in the CIAC semi-final 

game. 

Earning their semifinal bid hasn’t been 

easy, but it’s been dramatic. All three games 

have been decided by penalty kicks, which 

means after 80 minutes and two 10-minute 

periods, it’s one-on-one between kicker and 

goalie. 

“The first time around there were 15 penalty 

kicks, and the girls were actually shaking 

and crying because it was so intense,” said 

Spinelli. “The girls are pretty confident after 

going through it so many times.”

*Doesn’t apply to bath fine furniture. 

Getting to the semifinals hasn’t been easy, 

but it’s something Spinelli isn’t surprised 

with. 

“We’re moving on the field, tackling hard 

and tracking their players and they’re doing it 

as a unit, whereas before it was only one or 

two girls,” said Spinelli. “We’re actually working 

together as a group. Right now we’re more 

focused as a group.” 

Since Spinelli has been the coach, this is the 

first year the Lady Tigers have drawn a good 

seed in the tournament. 

“When the bracket came out I felt we were 

going to make a good run, because I know the 

teams and where we fell in relationship to 

other teams. Being that eighth seed it put us in 

the best possible position to do well,” said 

Spinelli. 

In their first round game against Bolton, it 

took the lady Tigers three rounds of penalty 

kicks to eventually win, 3-2. In the second 

round game against St. Bernard the lady 

Tigers once again forced penalty kicks but 

only needed two rounds to win 2-1. In the quarterfinals 

against Somers, once again the game 

came down to only one round of penalty kicks 

with the lady Tigers winning, 2-1. The biggest 

win was their second round game against St. 

Bernard a team that’s knocked out the lady 

Tigers the past two years. 

“It was a tough game, but I think our conditioning 

and we changed a couple of kids on 

the field that St. Bernard wasn’t expecting 

made the difference,” said Spinelli. 

One key to the postseason success has been 

how well the defense has played. Goalie 

Rachel Kopaz and sweeper Stephanie Faucher 

have been rock solid. 

“In our penalty kicks game against Somers, 

Rachel stopped their first three kicks, which is 

almost unheard of, and we were able to put our 

first three in,” said Spinelli. “Stephanie has 

been really, really, really consistent all season, 

and Rachel has gone into her own zone in the 

tournament.” 

The biggest surprise this postseason has to 

go to freshmen Samantha Bentley, and Nicole 

Dion. 

“They’ve had to mature as players and 

they’ve done it quicker than expected and so 

far it’s worked for us,” said Spinelli. 

After strong start to season, 

Clippers fade down the stretch 



PUTNAM — For the first eight games of the 

season, the Putnam Clippers boys’ soccer 

team looked to be unstoppable, going 6-1-1. 

However, the season ended on a different 

note at 9-7-2, and the Clippers didn’t exactly 

finish as strong as they started. 

First year Head Coach Josh Lord was more 

pleased with how well the season went. His 

number one goal for the team was to get the 

team to gel. 

“I thought [the season] went pretty well and 

I thought it was a successful season,” he said. 

“I thought the kids worked hard and played 

good soccer and came together.” 

Like most seasons, there are games that 

you’re not supposed to win and there are 

games that you’re supposed to lose. This year 

was no different for the Clippers. 

Losing a 1-0 game against Wheeler on Oct. 

11 was a game that Lord felt his team should 

have won. On the flip side, beating Parish Hill, 

4-3, on Oct. 8, was a bit of a surprise due to the 

Pirates team that typically has a strong squad 

every year. However, Lord felt the team was 

better than the stats show. 

“I thought we were better than what our 

record indicated,” said Lord. “Towards the 

end of the season we didn’t put the goals in the 

back of the net like we wanted to.” 

Lord said he felt starting the season 4-0 was 

a huge confidence builder, but the confidence 

might have been temporary. 

“I’m glad we won so many of those games in 

the beginning, but I think we got over confident 

in the middle of the season, because we 

started out so strong,” said Lord. 

Senior Ian Stadig was one of two players 

that Lord relied upon to provide leadership as 

well as a good example of being a team player. 

Stadig led the Constitution State Conference 

(CSC) in scoring. By the seasons end, Stadig 

scored 26 goals, which was six more than any 

other player in the CSC. 

“I needed him to produce goals and he did,” 

said Lord. “Ian however did get injured 

towards the end of the season which did hurt 

us.” 

Dominic Didonado also was a go-to player. 

As one of the team’s captains along with 

Stadig, Didonado was the centerpiece of this 

year’s team as midfielder. However, the 

Clippers had to play without him due to an 

injury. 

“Without him, Ian would not have scored as 

many goals as he did,” said Lord. “They both 

linked up very well with each other. He’s the 

type of kid that could change the game 

instantly with his passes and to me it was just 

as important as scoring.” 

The biggest surprise to the season was Scott 

Skowron, who played the left back position, 

but after a loss to Windham Tech, he was 

moved to sweeper. 

“I was very happy with how well he played 

that sweeper position. He definitely surprised 

me with how good he played,” said Lord. 

As a team, Lord felt the team played well 

together as a unit all year long. The Clippers 

were able to consistently pass the ball between 

players. 

“As I looked around the league I felt we 

passed the ball more before we took a shot on 

goal and had more passes than any other 

team,” said Lord.

Massachusetts men arrested for Eastford bank heist 

ARRESTS 

continued from page 1 

ing officer of the Connecticut State 

Police Public Information Office. 

“With the cooperation of State 

Police, and out-of-state law enforcement, 

we were able to bring the suspects 

in.” 

On March 4, at 3:18 p.m., Troop D 

received an alarm for the 

NewAlliance Bank branch in 

Eastford. Troopers and detectives 

responded to the bank confirming 

there was a robbery. The bank is 

located at the six-way intersection in 

the center of town that includes 

Routes 44 and 198. The bank shares 

business space with the Eastford 

Post Office. NewAlliance is 

Eastford’s only bank. 

Investigations later revealed that 

the suspect, a white male with a 

beard and no moustache, wearing a 

white baseball cap with a dark brim, 

was alone when he walked up to the 

bank teller and passed her a note 

demanding money. Reports say no 

weapon was displayed, and no one 

was injured. The suspect left with an 

undisclosed amount of cash and fled 

on foot in an “unknown direction.” 

The suspect’s image was captured 

on video surveillance from the bank, 

and Connecticut State Police detectives 

entered a video image of this 

suspect into the New England State 

Police Intelligence Network 

Database (NESPIN) for possible 

identification. At this time, Rindge, 

N.H. Police were being oriented as 

new users of the NESPIN database 

when they recognized the image of 

the Eastford bank suspect, as a suspect 

they had previously arrested 

with three other suspects for a bank 

robbery in Rindge, N.H. Following 

the discovery, Connecticut State 

Police Major Crime Detectives were 

alerted and followed up on the lead 

that later resulted in warrants being 

issued for four suspects for the 

NewAlliance bank robbery in 

Eastford. 

Boisvert and Robinson were 

processed at Troop D, and held on 

$200,000 cash or surety bonds. Both 

men were arraigned in Danielson 

Superior Court on Friday, Nov. 12, 

and were then transferred to the 

Windham Judicial District for further 

hearings.

IHS seeking diaper donations for Quiet Corner 

DIAPERS 


diapers will begin Jan. 3, 2011, 

at Daily Bread in Putnam. 

Diaper collection sites have 

been set up at the Thompson 

and Putnam public libraries, 

Putnam Wal-Mart, Putnam 

Stop N’ Shop, WINY Radio in 

Putnam, Thompson Early 

Learning Center, Putnam 

Family Resource Center, 

Price Chopper in Putnam, 

and Daily Bread. 

Although many of the collection 

sights are in Putnam 

and Thompson, Interfaith 

Human Services of Putnam 

will service clients from 

Woodstock and Pomfret as 

well. All brands of diapers 

are accepted. 

“Things are rough right 

now,” Diaper Bank 

Coordinator Helen Ferland 

said. “A lot of people from 

the Putnam community 

could use a diaper bank.” 

Clients can qualify for diapers 

in the following ways. If 

clients qualify for the 

HUSKY Insurance Plan, both 

A and B, or are a 

part of the 

Temporary 

Assistance Needy 

Family or 

Women’s Infants 

and Children 

(WIC) programs, 

and if a client is 

considered homeless, 

they will 

automatically 

qualify for the diaper bank. 

In addition, when applying 

for diapers at Daily Bread, 

prospective clients are asked 

to show photo identification, 

bring the children in the 

first time, and also a pay stub 

with income verification 

showing their annual 

income level is below the 

poverty level as determined 

by the federal government. If 

level is below the poverty 

level, clients will automatically 

qualify. 

Originally, Ferland, a 

Helen Ferland 

Putnam resident, got the 

idea when she was spending 

some time in her vacation 

home in Florida, and the 

local churches around her 

Trust Your 

area were doing diaper 

drives to benefit 

local people in need. 

Feeling a calling for 

this type of philanthropy, 

Ferland came 

back to Connecticut 

in hopes of doing the 

same. After doing a 

little history check on 

local diaper banks, 

Ferland found out 

that the first diaper bank in 

Connecticut was in North 

Haven, and was started by a 

nurse. The bank is still in 

existence today and currently 

serves nearly 4,000 clients. 

“Everything fell into place 

for me, one thing led to 

another and I felt a calling,” 

said Ferland. 

According to Ferland, the 

goal for the collection sites is 

to provide diapers to all children 

who need them, disregarding 

a specific numerical 

goal. Ferland also said that 

she has received an overwhelming 

positive response 

in Putnam in the concept of 

a diaper bank. 

“This diaper bank fits 

right into our mission statement. 

It was a perfect fit for 

what we try to accomplish,” 

said Interfaith Human 

Services of Putnam 

Community Resource 

Coordinator Kathy Peterson. 

In addition, Peterson said 

that as far as she knows, this 

is the first diaper bank in the 

area. 

Ferland, with the help of 

Peterson, have put together a 

diaper bank committee consisting 

of eight other people.

many local business and corporations. 

Checks can be 

made out to IHSP Diaper 

Bank, P.O. Box 281, Putnam. 

“In order for the diaper 

bank to be a success in 

achieving the goal of servicing 

all needy families this 

charity is solely dependent 

NEWS BRIEFS 

on diaper and monetary 

donations,” Ferland said. 

“As far as the clients go, we 

are hoping to have enough 

diapers where we can alleviate

clients will use other expenses 

for different aspects of 

life,” Peterson said.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!


‘Dippers’ unite for 34th annual MDA event 

DIP 


The Dip started as a local 

tradition of jumping into the 

water for fun before the annual 

Putnam-Killingly 

Thanksgiving football game. 

When the son of one of the 

original dippers was diagnosed 

with muscular dystrophy, 

the event was made into a 

charity. 

“They were doing it for fun 

and then all of a sudden it 

became a cause,” said Turkey 

Dip Committee member 

Ernie White, who has been to 

32 of the dips. “It’s still a lot of 

fun, too.” 

In the last few years, the 

Dip has raised between 

$30,000 and $40,000 each year. 

Mahoney said he believes 

that in total the event has 

been able to raise at least 

$500,000 for the MDA. 

Mahoney said the Dip has 

become a tradition for many 

people in the area, which 

helps make it so successful. 

“A lot of kids jumping in 

have been doing it for years,” 

said Mahoney. 

Many local families, businesses, 

clubs, and schools 

form teams each year and 

compete for team plaque that 

is awarded to the top 

fundraisers. 

“Just seeing people come 

back to jump in the water 

every Thanksgiving morning 

is great,” said Mahoney. “It’s 

a tradition for a lot of people.” 

Another tradition on that 

morning is the wearing of 

creative outfits and costumes. 

The tradition was started by 

Paul Burton, a long time 

Turkey Dip MDA 

Ambassador who passed 

away due to complications 

from muscular dystrophy. 

“Paul always wore crazy 

shirts and crazy hats, he had 

such a great spirit,” said 

White. 

White said a Spirit Award 

is now given to the adult and 

child with the best costume. 

“After Paul passed we 

decided we wanted to do 

something to keep his spirit 

alive,” he said. 

The night before the dip, 

Wednesday, Nov. 24, the committee 

will hold an Award 

Ceremony and dinner for the 

dippers and their families. 

Past dippers will be recognized 

for their fundraising 

and new dippers are welcome 

to attend. The ceremony will 

be held at the Knights of 

Columbus on Providence 

Street in Putnam at 6 p.m. 

On Thanksgiving morning, 

dippers can arrive at 6:30 a.m. 

for the pre-Dip festivities. The 

actual Dip will take place at 8 

a.m. 

To participate in the 

Turkey Dip, forms can be 

picked up at the Knights of 

Columbus on Providence 

Street, at WINY Radio, or at 

the Courthouse Restaurant. 

More information can be 

obtained by calling the MDA 

office at (860) 633-4466 or 

Mahoney at (860) 933-6817. 

Clare Hopkins may be 

reached at (860) 928-1818, ext. 

112, or by e-mail at clare@villagernewspapers.com. 

Woodstock receives grant to host ‘Community Conversation’ 

WOODSTOCK — Woodstock is a recipient of 

a $2,500 grant to fund a broad-based, townwide 

discussion about priorities in education 

for our town. 

The initiative is sponsored by the 

Woodstock Board of Education, the 

Woodstock Association of Teachers, the 

Woodstock PTO and the Woodstock Education 

Foundation who partnered to apply for the 

grant from the William Caspar Graustein 

Memorial Fund. The WCG Memorial Fund 

has sponsored Community Conversations in 

93 Connecticut towns over 11 years, with a 

goal of encouraging communities to come 

together for dialogue about significant local 

educational issues, and to build local action 

plans. The WCG Memorial Fund covers costs 

of hosting approximately 100 participants for 

a meal, and provides technical training and 

materials to plan for and facilitate the conversation. 

In Woodstock, the sponsoring partners hope 

to engage a broad and diverse cross-section of 

our town to participate in the conversation. 

The partners are forming a planning team of 

approximately 20 to represent a wide span of 

interests and demographics of the community. 

The team will identify moderators and 

recorders to participate in the Community 

Conversation, which we expect will occur in 

the early spring of 2011. “Community 

Conversations” encourages all participants to 

speak openly about critical education issues, 

to respect each others’ perspectives, to find 

common ground and identify concerns and 

questions. The process leads to shared 

insights that can generate new approaches to 

tough local issues, and to develop options to 

move forward. 

“Education is a value shared by our full 

community, but it can also be a polarizing 

topic,” said Dena O’Hara, vice president of the 

Woodstock Education Foundation. “An inclusive, 

open and respectful deliberation which 

respects all perspectives is the first step 

towards broader ownership of the local education 

decisions we can make.” 

Lindsay Paul, board member of the WBOE, 

added, “It is really exciting to have won this 

grant, and to have these four organizations 

working together to plan Woodstock’s 

Community Conversation. This process has 

helped other towns develop action plans to 

move forward on shared priorities, and we can 

do this in Woodstock too.” 

If you are interested in participating in 

Woodstock’s Community Conversation, please 

contact Lindsay Paul at paull@woodstockschools.net.

Mac McHale and Emery 

Hutchins, affectionately 

known as Mac & Hutch, 

have recently joined forces again 

to sing and play songs of Ireland, 

the mountains and the sea. 

They’ll be performing this 

Saturday from 7:30 p.m. at the 

Grass Roots Coffee House in 

Northbridge, Mass. Mac and 

Hutch were the original 

founders of the Irish band 

Northeast Winds, touring and 

recording with the group for 

nearly 18 years. For the last 17 

years, Mac has headed up The 

Old-Time Radio Gang, a very 

successful traditional country 

music band and Hutch has been 

a very important part of the 

Angel Band, a world famous 

Irish music group. At this show, 

they will be performing some of 

their favorite music from The 

Northeast Winds as well as some 

very traditional country music. 

The program is sure to include 

some of your favorite Irish and 

sea songs, a good amount of hot 

picking instrumentals and some 

great sing-a-longs. Mac & Hutch 

will be playing the banjo, guitar, 

mandolin, concertina, bodran 

and the octave mandolin. During 

their performances, they are 

able to illustrate how the music 

came to this country with the 

immigrants from Ireland, 

Scotland and Great Britain. 

Although many have been modified 

over the decades and even 

centuries, it is still evident 

where the roots of a lot of these 

songs and tunes began. “Two Old 

Friends” are dedicated to taking 

their music, stories and poems to 

smaller intimate venues wherever 

and whenever invited. 

With great sadness I report 

that Northeast Connecticut lost 

one of its own musical sons last 

week. Kevin Kilborn, better 

known as KK, was a fine local 

musician and good friend to 

many in the Quiet Corner music 

scene. His friends and band 

mates will be dedicating this 

Thursday’s open mike at the 

Village Lounge in Woodstock to 

his memory.

Whether slow cooking a flavorful, steamy 

pot of soup or simmering a soothing 

stroganoff, meatballs are an excellent ingredient 

in a variety of delicious, hearty dishes. 

Meatballs can easily be purchased in bulk and 

kept in the freezer, making them a convenient 

and delicious item to have on hand. Their 

great value, versatility, wide appeal and delicious 

taste are what make them a great ingredient 

in a wealth of recipes. 

Stephanie Ashcraft, author of “101 Things 

To Do With Meatballs,” recognizes that meatballs 

can be the star of any dish in minutes. “I 

always keep frozen meatballs on hand. I serve 

them as mini hamburgers, stir them into 

stews and use them in soups, on bread or on 

top of pasta. They’re also perfect appetizers 

for a festive holiday get-together.” 

For her recipes, Ashcraft recommends 

using two fully cooked brands of meatballs: 

Casa Di Bertacchi and Farm Rich. Both are 

made with an outstanding, authentic family 

recipe. The Casa brand is available in Sam’s 

Clubs nationwide and Farm Rich is available 

in major grocery chains. Each are seasoned 

with high-quality ingredients, then seared 

and steamed in the traditional way. 

Ashcraft says that her Italian Meatball Soup 

really “keeps the chill off.” For more recipe 

ideas, visit www.CasaMeatballs.com and for

BEYOND 

causing water to float in air 

of Jesus’ resurrection 

is not so different from 

THE PEWS 

until he had seen Christ 

walking on water like Peter 

with his eyes and touched 

did in Matthew 14 or cursing 

a politician with blind- 

the wounds with his 

hands. 

PHILIP ness as Paul did in Acts 13. 

Even atheists and 

HANSON Thomas was an apostle of 

agnostics will call someone 

Jesus Christ commissioned 

a “doubting Thomas.” 

We know from the book of 

Acts that Thomas eventually received the 

proofs he required: Thomas saw the risen 

Christ and touched the wounds in his side 

and hands. But what happened after that? 

Tradition holds that Thomas traveled to 

India as a missionary and evangelized great 

portions of the subcontinent. Like many traditions, 

the story of Thomas includes some 

in the same manner as they 

were. 

What makes the story of Thomas so hard to 

accept, while most Christians freely grant 

that Peter walked on water and Paul blinded 

a man? There’s the lack of authorial control, 

of course — legends are notorious for being 

altered in transit — but there’s also something 

else. Perhaps we just don’t want the 

impossible to be so close. We know that God 

accounts of questionable veracity. For can perform miracles, that He will demonstrate 

instance, consider the following tale from “A 

History of Christianity in Asia, Volume 1,” 

by Samuel Moffett. 

A group of Namburdiri Brahmans were 

performing their ritual ablutions in the 

water of a temple basin. The apostle was 

watching them throw water into the air while 

they chanted their prayers. “Why do you do 

that?” he asked. “It is our sacrifice to the 

gods,” they said. 

“Why don’t your gods accept it, then? It 

keeps falling back on you,” said Thomas. 

The Brahmans were indignant. “Who can 

make water stay up in the air?” 

“I can,” said Thomas, and when they asked 

him to prove it, he said he would but only if 

they would promise to be baptized if he succeeded. 

They agreed, and the saint threw the 

water up and it caught and hung in the sunlight 

glittering like diamonds. 

Like most legends, there’s not enough evidence 

His power to convince sincere 

doubters, and that He will confirm His word 

with “signs and wonders” (Hebrews 2:4). But 

even with all that in mind, we’re more comfortable 

relegating miracles to “the greats” or 

to the mists of time. 

Closer to home, what if you heard that a 

preacher in a neighboring town make water 

hang in mid-air to convince a wavering convert? 

Would you believe it? Both in our own 

lives and in the actions of those around us, 

we need to regain the ability to believe in the 

impossible when God is involved. Reason is 

not obsolete and logic is not dead, but God 

can change the rules — and that means we 

must be ready to work with a rule-changing 

God! 

Maybe now is a good time to ask yourself 

this question: “What would I say to a 

‘Thomas’ story — one that seems impossible?” 

to either prove or disprove the tale. It’s 

just a story handed down from generation to 

generation, undoubtedly embellished along

the backdrop of a mighty Atlantic City

Depression, through the glamour of the 

1930s and the turmoil of war to the buzz of 

casino life today. When hotel maid Alice

span the decades and survive hope, heartbreak, 

separation and a reconciliation that 

will melt your heart. This big hearted show 

boasts an infectious score with a live orchestra 

ranging from jazz to contemporary musical 

theater, dancing, great comedy, and a 

large cast of characters from Mafia-low-life 

to Hollywood’s elite as our couple battle

seen shuffling around apparently invisible to 

one another. The public is invited. Seating is

Hyundai Sonata Hybrid is finally a hybrid built 

for the way most Americans drive 

The 2011 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid features a distinctive front fascia that contributes to its strong highway fuel efficiency. 

BY KEITH GRIFFIN 

In my online life, I write about 

Hyundais for Examiner.com. 

That’s not included to drive page 

views (but please feel free to visit). 

Rather, I mention that to show I 

write a lot about Hyundais. Heck, I 

even scheduled a recent golf trip 

around a visit to the Hyundai 

plant in Montgomery, Ala. 

In other words, I know a lot 

about Hyundai and really like the 

brand. It has done some amazing 

things in the past five years but 

nothing compares with its latest 

development. No, it’s not the 

Hyundai Equus, which is a valuepriced 

luxury car. It’s the new 

Hyundai Sonata Hybrid. 

Hyundai has managed to do 

something no other car manufacturer 

can claim: build a hybrid 

that actually matches how most 

Americans drive their cars. 

Typically, most hybrids (which feature 

electric motors that propel a 

car at low speeds to save gas) get 

their best mileage in city driving 

conditions. 

The problem is most Americans 

don’t live in cities. Most of the 

readers of this newspaper, if not 

all of them, would rightly describe 

themselves as suburbanites or 

rural dwellers. That fact alone has 

made me steer most people away 

from hybrids because 50 percent of 

driving mileage is highway for the 

average American. You don’t get 

bang for the buck from hybrids on 

the highway. 

That is until now. The 2011 

Hyundai Sonata Hybrid gets 40 

mpg on the highway, which is 10 

percent better than its closest competitor 

the Ford Focus Hybrid. 

Until I spent time with the Sonata 

Hybrid at its launch in San Diego, 

the Focus Hybrid was my favorite 

hybrid sedan on the road for its 

great fuel economy, comfort and 

roominess. 

The Focus Hybrid, though, does 

get better mileage in the city beating 

the Sonata 41 mpg to 36 mpg. 

That is a factor to consider when 

you look at your driving habits. 

The Sonata Hybrid uses a parallel 

hybrid system. It actually 

engages the EV mode while cruising 

at highway speeds up to 62 

mph in blue mode. One journalist 

at the launch I was at managed to 

get about 60 mpg through some 

extremely judicious driving 

thanks to use of the blue mode and 

other techniques. My combined 

was about 43 mpg with some highway, 

local and hilly driving thrown 

in and three people onboard. 

My numbers might have been a

little better but I needed to test out 

the acceleration in the time I drove 

the car. The Sonata Hybrid actually 

has a little more oomph under 

the hood at 206 horsepower than 

the standard Sonata at 200 horsepower. 

Hyundai says its acceleration 

time is 9.2 seconds from 0-60 – 

a full second faster than the Focus 

Hybrid, according to Hyundai. 

One neat fuel-saving trick 

Hyundai employed with the 

Sonata Hybrid is the active air flap 

system built into the distinctive 

front fascia. At high vehicle speeds 

the air flap closes, which means 10 

percent less drag on the car. That 

creates a low-drag co-efficient of 

.25 that Hyundai points out is comparable 

to a Porsche 911 GT2 RS 

(0.34) and the 2011 Nissan GT-R 

(.27). 

It uses a lithium polymer batter, 

which is the first application of 

this kind of battery in the North 

American market. Hyundai 

picked it for its light metal and 

high power density – or more 

power from a lighter, smaller battery. 

Hyundai also says it has an 

improved storage life. Other 

hybrids are currently using nickel 

metal hydride batteries. 

I’ll let Hyundai explain why high 

power density is important: “It 

means that more of the recovered 

kinetic energy and charging energy 

from the engine will be available 

to propel the car when needed. 

That allows the Sonata to provide 

electric driving boost more 

often and for longer periods of 

time.” 

One thing Hyundai wasn’t saying 

as this review was being written 

was the warranty for the battery. 

The industry standard has 

been 10-years, 150,000 miles. 

Expect Hyundai to at least match 

that because of the new battery 

technology. 

Hyundai also hasn’t disclosed 

price yet. A top-of-the-line Sonata 

currently costs about $28,000 with 

delivery included. It’s only a guess, 

but it would be surprising to see 

Hyundai crack the $30,000 barrier 

with the Sonata Hybrid. 

Lest I forget, the Sonata Hybrid 

drives extremely well. It has a 

quiet, comfortable ride and if it 

wasn’t for the nice dashboard 

gauges, it would be all but impossible 

to know when you are in electric 

mode. It’s that quiet of a car. 

The Hyundai Sonata Hybrid is 

finally a hybrid built for the way 

most Americans drive. Put it on 

your shopping list if you’re in the 

market. You won’t be disappointed. 

This is another homerun for 

Hyundai.
