WOODSTOCK — A Fall Art and Craft Show was held at the First Congregational Church in Woodstock this past weekend, Oct. 17-18. Despite the chilly air and snowflakes on Sunday it was a very successful event. Artists and vendors were set up in the church and out on the front lawn. A group of church members were busy Saturday serving up a delicious luncheon of soups and chicken pot pies under the direction of Jim Nowak. Several members of the church worked for months getting the weekend event organized. Thirty-four vendors set up and plans are being made for another weekend event “same time next year.”

Coderre Commander, Mayotte-Viens American Legion Post #13

Honoring all who serve Veterans Day has always had a very special meaning to me since my childhood days. Veterans Day and every day. Originally known as Armistice Day, it was the day my late mother and father were wed. As a family we remembered the day as a special event and a time to pause and remember those who gave their lives and served in defense of our country. P.O. Box 123 Putnam, CT Although my father never served in the military I’m proud of the fact that I along with my three younger brothers all served our country as members of the United States Air Force. Growing up in Putnam as a youngster I have fond memories of the men I knew who served during World War II and the Korean Conflict. I recall my neighbor, when we lived in the thriving North End of Putnam, as he returned to our community at the end of the war. He looked so put together and proud Supporting our veterans and standing tall in his Army uniform. The day he presented me with a patch from his unit remains etched in my memory. troops this Veteran’s Day I also remember many men who were called to active duty during the Korean Conflict. 24 Stearns St. The memories of those who returned and those who gave the supreme sacrifice for our country are heroes Danielson, CT who are not forgotten on this Veterans Day. In 1959 after graduating from Putnam High School it was the example of these heroes and many others [email protected] like them that encouraged me to enlist in the Air Force. Although I never served in combat, the four years (860) 779-1000 of my enlistment during the Cold War and the Cuban Missile Crisis are the proudest time of my life. Today, 53 years following my discharge from active duty, the memories of the times and friendships developed during those years continue to play an important role in the way I live my life. The men I served with on remote radar sites remain in my thoughts as brothers in arms. The heroes of Veterans Day are the men and women who saw and are seeing combat action while serving in harms ways. But we also shouldn’t forget the thousands of military personnel who gave their lives in defense of our country. We should also say thank you and salute those who served faithfully and were fortunate to return. When you see a veteran, take a moment and thank them for their service, on Veterans Day and every day.

We appreciate our service members whose courage and bravery protect our country and freedom

Back & Body Back Pain? Neck Pain? Headaches? Chiropractic Gentle, effective pain relief

If your lower back has bothered you, you are not alone. Eight out of ten adults will experience lower back problems at some time in their lives. Most symptoms of lower back pain are blamed on poor muscle tone in the back, muscle tension, spasms, ligament or muscle tears, and joint problems. In the past individuals have subjected themselves to prolonged bed rest, uncomfortable traction, heavy sedation, injections, and surgery. But there is a safer, more natural approach to healing the back: Chiropractic care.

While it is wonderful for relaxation, there appointment are actually more therapeutic benefits. Heat from the stone penetrates into deeper tissues resulting in improved circulation. Great for fibromyalgia, carpal tunnel, strained muscles, and can help with insomnia. and find out how As the holiday season is upon us, a hot stone massage would make a wonderful and thoughtful gift. chiropractic care can help you with chronic pain or pain Patient Testimonials prevention today. “I stopped in to Back and Body Chiropractic because a friend had told me about a new chiropractic office that had just opened up and I had an old sports injury that kept flaring up. From the first visit to my last they were very friendly and professional. Within two weeks of treatment I already noticed a difference. Within five weeks I had full rotation in my shoulder which I didn’t think was possible. I would definitely recommend Back & Body Chiropractic to anyone who has sports injuries.” Tom W. “I’ve had shoulder issues from playing baseball in college, I started playing baseball again last year and my shoulder still bothered me. The last thing I wanted to do was get surgery so I started going to a chiropractor, but I never saw any improvement. So I stopped going. I decided to give a different chiropractor a chance before I started to give serious thought to surgery. So I found out about Dr. Fandetti and after two sessions started noticing a considerable improvement. She figured out that tightness of my lower shoulder blade muscles were causing my shoulder pain. My old chiropractor didn’t even consider that to be an option.” David B. “Over a decade ago I suffered a series of very unfortunate events. Doctors discovered cerebral blood clots on the surface of my brain, which resulted in cranial surgery. In the months that followed my recuperation, I was involved in a serious car accident. The combined trauma from the surgery and accident left me with muscular scar tissue and severe pain in my neck and back. I visited many doctors and specialists only to receive recommendations on how to live with the pain; I was not impressed. After hearing positive reviews regarding Dr. Fandetti, I decided to give chiropractic care a shot. Through detailed consultation, she created a plan to rid me of the pain for good. After only a handful of sessions, I felt better than I had in years, and virtually pain free. It was simply amazing. It may sound like an exaggeration to some, but Back & Body Chiropractic turned my life around for the better. The office staff is very friendly and creates a comforting experience that put me at ease. I can honestly say that because of Dr. Fandetti and Back & Body Chiropractic, I can enjoy life again as I once did” Josh W. 24 Putnam Pike, Unit 3, Dayville, CT 06241 860-412-9016 • Like Us On Facebook : Back & Body Chiropractic in Dayville, CT A18 • Friday, November 6, 2015 Killingly Villager Voters turn out in droves for municipal elections

VOTERS continued from page A­­­ 1

“The ethics ordinance never came to the Ordinance Committee at all,” Landry said. “As of the August meeting the selectmen were supposed to forward that. Finally the Ethics Committee for- warded it to us in October, but we hadn’t had a meeting to discuss it so that never got review at all.” Landry voiced his concerns that the ordinance would have put harsh limitations on elected officials that would have impacted the willingness of volunteers to run for election, saying that some current town leaders told him that they wouldn’t run again if the ordinance were implemented. Former first selectman and current Board of Finance member Larry Groh was one of the most vocal members of the community at the meeting and said he was one of those threatened by the harsh restrictions that would be implemented through the ethics ordinance as it was presented. “It’s tough enough to get people to run for office now,” Groh said. “Here you have a line in the code that says if there is a conflict of interest and if you’re voting on something that could involve a family member you can’t even accept gifts from a family member. The exception is you can get gifts for up to $50, but no more than $100 a year. There’s another clause that I did appreciate that said I could have a conversation with my wife even thought we’re both elected officials.” Both Landry and Groh also opposed the blight ordinance brought before the town, which saw much more public outcry that the ethics ordinance as members of the community argued that the town did not need a blight ordinance with the gener- al consensus being a feeling that taxpayers did not want to be told what to do on their own property. Groh said he felt the blight ordinance would pit neighbor against neighbor — or worse, taxpayers against the town — by implementing restrictions that would make most, if not all of Thompson’s resi- dents in violation in some manner. Landry said he shared the same fears as Groh and felt the blight ordinance was not needed. “Half the houses were going to be blight- ed in town,” he said. “I don’t think we need to be doing that, There’s already five ways to handle blight in town — the building official, the fire marshal, police, Department of Health and the Zoning Officer.” Landry also noted that while he doesn’t believe there was any intent to misuse these ordinances by the current admin- istration there could be the potential for the two ordinances to be misused in the future to perform personal attacks against members of the community for a variety of different reasons or through any kind of dispute over what is done on one’s proper- ty or who is in office at what time. Underlying all of the smaller issues on the agenda for the meeting on Oct. 28 was the general concern that the meeting was not properly planned and that the public was not properly informed on the items that would be discussed ahead of time. Many said that the Town Hall failed to provide accurate warrants for the meeting with information on the original meeting agenda changing to the proper language before the meeting was actually held, while some, like Groh, raised concerns that they were unable to obtain informa- tion on the ordinances prior to the week of the meeting. “My biggest concern was that wrong information was being brought to the pub- lic before this meeting. What happened was for someone who is not as in tune with the government as I am, there was no way to get the information,” said Groh. “After it was advertised that we were having a town meeting the information could not be found. It wasn’t until I found it on social media that I was told that the information for all the ordinances that were coming up for a vote, which were pretty important, were underneath the 2015 minutes and not on the front page of the website where they should have been. Even going to the Town Hall there were no copies there.” Exiting First Selectman Paul Lenky said that he felt the public made itself clear during the meeting and that they voted on the items and made the final decision regardless of any other issues that arose leading up to the meeting. “The public had the opportunity to vote. They spoke their minds and made themselves clear. They turned them down. That’s their choice. They have that power and they exercised it,” he said.
