A good time had
by all at 94th
annual ski jumps
By Patrick L. Sullivan
SALISBURY — The 2020
Jumpfest weekend at Satre Hill
got off to a delayed start on Fri-
day, Feb. 7. This is the 94th year
of the ski jumps.
It rained on and off all morn-
ing and early afternoon. Then the
weather shifted to snow showers
and a fair amount of wind. The
outlook was grim.
And then, suddenly, the storm
system blew itself out, and there
were clear skies and almost no
wind at all.
It took a while to get the
ski jump hill and in run ready,
however. Announcer Dale Jones
described the snow as having the
consistency of mashed potatoes.
So the scheduled 7 p.m. start
of Friday night’s target jumping
was pushed back to about 8:40
p.m. The jumping continued on
past 10 p.m., delaying the start
of the Human Dog Sled Race.
Six teams competed in three
categories. The Vikings won in
the Men’s Category and also
collected the People’s Choice
Award. The other two top teams
were Pack to the Future, which
won in the women’s division; and
Urban Riders, who won in the
mixed division.
Honors for Dale Jones
Saturday morning was clear
and crisp, and business at the
hot drinks stand was brisk as
youngsters took to the 20 and
30 meter jumps.
After an awards ceremony

This week we begin a slightly
different iteration of the Nature’s
Notebook column. Tim Abbott
will continue to write his poetic
observations of nature every two
weeks for the column; in the
interim week, we will return to
the older tradition of running
updates on what’s happening in
the natural world, hearkening
back to the years when Charlotte
Reid wrote a weekly column
called “Have You Noticed …”
This column will be made up
of contributions from several
expert area nature watchers,
including Eileen Fielding from
Sharon Audubon; Jody Bronson
from the Great Mountain Forest;
and astronomy buff Roger Lid-
dell of Sharon. Tilly Strauss will
contribute illustrations as she has
done this week; Lans Christensen
will share photos. We hope you
enjoy it and please send us your
own observations (cynthiah@

jumps started Saturday at 1 p.m.
At noon there was a long line
for tickets.
Sunday was overcast, with
snow flurries that occasionally
became snow showers. The park-
ing area was filling up nicely by
10:30 a.m., with cars from Con-
necticut, Massachusetts and New
York dominating. But there were
visitors from New Hampshire,
Vermont, New Jersey, Maryland
and Louisiana.
The jumpers fiddled with their
skis and flexed their muscles
prior to the start of a round of
practice jumps before the Eastern
National jumps.
Small children gravitated to
piles of snow and improvised
some games.
Seasoned veteran ski jump fans
like Mark and Laura Grusauski
set up their provisions — in this
case, using a wheelbarrow covered
with a piece of plywood and a
table cloth, with a beach umbrella
attached. This mobile station sup-
ported cocktails and snacks.
“It’s a lot easier than carrying
it all in from the parking lot,” said
Mark Grusauski.
Don Breslauer, a SWSA direc-
tor, took a break and surveyed the
festive scene. He said he’d been
a director for 25 or 30 years, he
wasn’t exactly sure.

Asked how he got involved,
he said, “I wanted to stay out of
Town Hall, but do something for
the town.”
He was concerned about the
lack of younger volunteers who
will eventually take over for the
old guard.
“We’re having trouble getting
younger people interested,” he
said.

Jody Bronson, Forest Manag-
er for the Great Mountain Forest
in Norfolk and Falls Village,
wrote: “Have you noticed that the
buck deer have been losing their
antlers? From late December
through February the bucks shed
their antlers due to a decrease
in testosterone production. The
antlers will generally shed one at
a time but occasionally both will
drop simultaneously.
“Porcupines and mice enjoy
chewing on the calcium-rich
antlers. Antler growth will begin
again in late April when the days
become longer. This phenome-
non is known as photoperiodism.
It’s always a gift from the woods
when you are lucky enough to
find a shed antler on an early
spring walk in the woods.”

New vote on revised school
sports plan on Feb. 13
By Cynthia Hochswender
FALLS VILLAGE — The con-
troversial plan to create a unified
middle school sports program
for the six Region One schools
has been revised, and looks likely
to be accepted in a special vote
on Thursday, Feb. 13.
The original plan required
all six schools to take part in
the program; funding was to
be through the shared Regional

in late November.
A second vote followed at
the Jan. 6 meeting of the Region
One Board of Education. At that
meeting, only the Cornwall and
Sharon representatives voted in
favor of the plan.
The representatives from the
towns that voted against the
program have said emphatical-
ly in the weeks since that they
do not object to the idea of a
shared sports program for the
seventh and eighth graders in
their schools.
A revised plan has now been
presented to several towns, no-
tably Falls Village and Kent. The
response has been positive. The
new plan gives towns the flexi-
bility to participate in some parts
of the program while opting out
of others. Under this new plan,
the costs for the program will be
paid by each town from its own
education budget, and not from
the shared regional budget.
Members of the ABC com-
mittee will meet to vote on the
new plan on Thursday, Feb. 13,
after this issue goes to press. In
theory, approval is not needed by
the Region One board because
funding is no longer going to
come from a regional budget.

more than 20 multi-course din-

“The chefs working together
and collaborating is so much fun,”
said Rooney as she and Corcor-
an reflected on their experience
during a Sunday morning in-
terview at Morgan’s cozy dining
room. “We tasted each other’s
components, took pictures and
helped each other ‘plate.’”
Lila’s Mountain Lamb Three

Rooney said the lamb was

Three winning student magazine covers in WOW show
By Cynthia Hochswender
SALISBURY — Votes were
tallied during the Jumpfest week-
end for magazine cover art pro-
duced by students at Housatonic
Valley Regional High School for
the Wonders of Winter art show
that coincided with the 94th an-
nual ski jumps in Salisbury.
Winter-themed art will be
on display at several locations
in Salisbury through the winter,
with works by local artists as well
as several of national renown.
Particularly special was a cover
for The New Yorker magazine by
the late Arthur Getz, a Sharon
resident.
Artist and art teacher Warren
Prindle had his students design
Interlaken Inn chefs Jim Corcoran and Daire Rooney are the couple that cooks together.
“It’s kind of awesome to be
married to a chef. We can bounce
ideas off each other, and each of
us has different strengths. We
make a great team,” said Rooney,
who praised her partner’s be-
hind-the-scenes contributions.
Among other things, “He is an
amazing butcher.”
To which Corcoran added,
“Daire is creative, and is good
at interacting with guests.”
Food was the common de-
nominator that brought them
together about seven years ago.
Corcoran had been working at
April Bloomfield’s The Breslin
Restaurant in New York City
with Rooney’s cousin, and
Rooney was the executive chef
at Allium in Great Barrington
at the time.
She happened to be looking
for a sous chef, and Corcoran
was looking to leave the Big
Apple. So he took Rooney up
on her offer and romance soon
blossomed. The couple tied the
knot in Mexico two years ago. At
about the same time, they were
their own New Yorker-style cov-
ers. The finished works were on
display at The White Hart inn;
visitors were asked to vote for
their favorites.
The top scores went to Adri-
enne Aakjar, whose cover de-
picted skaters with trees and a
cityscape in the background. She
was awarded tickets to The Mov-
iehouse in Millerton, donated by
theater owner Carol Sadlon; and
a drawing by Salisbury artist Al-
len Blagden.

Corcoran said he and his
wife have a passion for cooking
simple, well-executed food with
fresh, locally sourced ingredi-
ents. They are enjoying the chal-
lenge of running the Interlaken
kitchen and bringing exciting
changes to the menu.
Community events
In addition to serving great
food, their goal is to get the local
community excited about spend-
ing time at Morgan’s. The chefs
have added themes to the regular
weekday offerings: On Wednes-
day nights there is take-out-food
for a family of four for $24.95,
with a different menu each week.
“One family has already or-
dered for the entire month,” said
Corcoran.
Thursday night is burger

months. “We pick a nonprofit

ceeds, as a way of giving back the
community, she said.
Tapas, ShowTown, jazz
The chefs, who recently re-
turned from a vacation in Costa
Rica, said they are excited about
an upcoming jazz evening at the
Interlaken on Saturday, Feb. 22,
which is quickly selling out. The
7:30 p.m. event will be presented
by ShowTown, a nonprofit orga-
nization aimed at bringing enter-
tainment, cultural, culinary and
educational events to the North-
west Corner, especially during
the winter “off season.”
The show will be a CD release
party for New Chordtet, a jazz
group featured last spring at The
White Hart in Salisbury.
There will be a special menu
of cocktails and tapas served
throughout the performance.
Guests may also choose to have
dinner at the inn in advance of
the concert. For details and tick-

Eco Hero comes to the rescue of an ailing planet
By Leila Hawken
SHARON — Eco Hero is
here to save the day, in a newly
published graphic novel whose
aim is to inspire young people to
engage with their environment
in a positive way.
Eco Hero is the creation of
Pamela Peeters of Sharon. She
has joined with her husband,
dentist and world-class narwhal
expert Dr. Martin Nweeia (who
is Dr. Narwhal in the novel), to
create “Transformed by a Tusk.”
Narwhals are known as the
unicorns of the sea, and it’s be-
lieved that the actual narwhals
were the original unicorns of
medieval art and mythology.
The horned whales are found
in the Arctic region around the
North Pole.
In “Transformed by a Tusk,”
the narwhals have issued a plea
for help from Eco Hero and the
youthful but highly skilled Dr.
Narwhal. And so the dizzying
adventure begins.
Peeters shared details of
the book, which was released
in January, during a visit on
Wednesday, Feb. 5, to her home
in Sharon.
An environmental economist,
Peeters has an informed view of
the factors combining to impact
the planet’s natural balance. And
Eco Hero is the perfect spokes-
person, with determination and
a few magical powers.
Authenticity is one of the
strong points of the book. All
facts have been vetted. All of the
characters in the novel are based
on actual people.
Joining Eco Hero (who travels
on the back of a flying unicorn)
and Dr. Narwhal (encumbered
by quite a bit of scientific equip-
ment) are actual members of the
Inuit community who have con-
tributed their expertise during
Arctic expeditions over the years
of Nweeia’s research into nar-
whals and the function of their
single tusk.
Incidentally, Peeters said, all
male narwhals have the long
tusk, and only some females have
it. That is a mystery still under
study, but the reader is treated to
lots of other facts along the way.
“What the planet needs is to
listen to the indigenous peoples
of the world,” Peeters said. “They
are one with their environment.”
She added that they also pro-
tect the earth’s resources.
The Inuits in Canada are
living with a changing environ-
ment, Peeters said. The melting
ice is endangering the narwhals.
The book’s message is an urgent
call for action.
Peeters credits the children
with inspiring her. She has done
environmental programs in
schools in the Northwest Corner
and other areas, many of them
featuring Eco Hero, a character
she created 20 years ago.
“Finally, the kids woke up,”
she said. “I give kids tools to un-
Sharon/Kent
derstand Mother Earth’s reality.”
Those tools of understand-
ing underpin the book’s ac-
tion-packed tale that combines
fantasy and reality.
“I believe nature is magical,”
Peeters said, pointing to chil-
dren’s fascination with it. “Nature
is our teacher.”
“Transformed by a Tusk”
took five years to imagine and
write, Peeters recalled. Illustra-
tions were collaboratively drawn
by Rafael Munoz of Mexico.
“We worked together on story
flow,” she said, praising his will-
ingness to adapt illustrations to
story line.
Thinking of the future,
Peeters said that she hopes that
the book will become a series.
After they read the book, she is
looking for children to say, “I’m
inspired.”
The book will be available
in museum shops. Dr. Nweeia’s
Smithsonian exhibit, “Narwhal:
Revealing an Arctic Legend,”
is now a Smithsonian travel-
ing exhibition that will be seen
throughout the U.S. and Canada.
Its first stop will be at the Sam
Noble Museum of Natural Histo-
ry in Norman, Okla.; it will open
on March 28. Publication of the
book was timed to coincide with
the opening.

The action was taken at a spe-
cial meeting of the finance board
on Tuesday, Feb. 4.
Duncan will complete Flana-
gan’s unexpired term, which will
continue until Nov. 16, 2021.
Town attorney Randall Di-
Bella attended the meeting to
advise the board on the process.
A controversy had arisen
when the finance board acted
at a regular meeting to install
an alternate member into the
vacant seat without calling a spe-
cial meeting for the purpose, a
violation of regulations.
When more than the allowed
PHOTO BY TOM BROWN 30 days had passed without a
special meeting, the selectmen
attempted to fill the vacancy in
accordance with regulations, but
then agreed to table the mat-
ter and give the finance board
a chance to convene a special
meeting.
Two candidates to fill the
vacancy were offered at the
Feb. 4 meeting. Finance board
member (and former selectman)
Jessica Fowler nominated alter-
nate member Cody O’Kelly, a
Democrat; and Mary Robert-
son nominated Robert Duncan,
a Republican.
Each candidate was inter-
viewed, answering identical
questions in turn. Questions
were about the candidates’ back-
ground, length of residence in
town, experience in Sharon Cen-
ter School programs and budget
and experience in dealing with
other financial matters that can
be expected to be discussed by
the finance board, including the
town budget process.
Both candidates expressed
a strong commitment to pub-
lic service within the town and
both had demonstrated their
interest through their service.
O’Kelly offered what he termed a
younger demographic view and
an interest in the town’s growth
and prosperity.
Duncan offered experience
as a past member of the Board
of Finance, fire department
chief in New York state (where
he administered town budgets
and worked in procurement
of goods). He talked about the
need to be well-versed in major
town equipment purchases and
repairs.
“What is in the best interest
of the town” was a key question
posed by Selectman Dale Jones
as the guiding principle.
The question of maintaining
an even balance between two
political parties was discussed.
Finance board Vice Chair Tom
Bartram said that he was not
persuaded about a need for pari-
ty, that there has been imbalance
in the past.
“If we want to do what’s good
for the town, we want to put a
Democrat into the seat,” finance
board member Fowler said. She
is a Democrat.
Toward the end of discus-
sion that included some who
felt that once a local election is
over, then politics and party af-
filiations are no longer in play,
Board of Finance Chair Karen
Dignacco (a Republican) point-
ed out that in the end, all of the
people involved will retain their
roles as members of the Board
of Finance. O’Kelly and Robert
Ensign will remain in service as
alternates.

A lifesaving device for North Canaan,
with help from Charlotte Hungerford
By Cynthia Hochswender
NORTH CANAAN — The
North Canaan Volunteer Am-
bulance Corps now has a Lucas
3 chest compression device to
aid in performing CPR on car-
diac patients as they are being
picked up and then transported
to a hospital.
North Canaan is one of the
last towns in the county to get
the machine. Many towns re-
ceived funding through a fed-
eral grant but North Canaan,
Torrington and Litchfield did
not benefit from the grant.
Charlotte Hungerford Hos-
pital stepped in to help with
fundraising for four Lucas de-
vices, two for Torrington, one
for Litchfield and the North
Canaan unit. Each unit costs
about $12,000, according to Tim
LeBouthillier, a spokesman for
the hospital.
LeBouthillier was at the
North Canaan ambulance ga-
rage on Thursday, Jan. 30, to
present the new device to am-
bulance chief Bill Minacci, who
has already been trained to use
the unit. Also at the presenta-
tion was Tom Anderson, the
town’s paid paramedic; and Bri-
an Ohler, who is a lieutenant on
the volunteer ambulance squad
and who is also the associate di-
rector of safety and engineering
at Charlotte Hungerford and
helped link up the hospital and
the North Canaan ambulance.
Minacci has been a volunteer
with the ambulance squad for 30
years, since he was 19 years old.
He went on as an adult to be-
come a paramedic and to work
for Campion Ambulance Ser-
vice. He said that North Canaan
has the only paramedic-level

CORNWALL — The select-
men will delay extending the
consulting contract with WMC
Engineering of Newington for
another week, following discus-
sion at their Feb. 10 meeting.
The delay to Feb. 18 will allow
input from the study committee,
The original contract, provid-
ing for $10,000, was approved
at a town meeting last summer.
The money was meant to fund
the preparation of an application
for grant funding through the
U.S. Department of Agriculture
(USDA).
That application has now
been submitted,First Selectman
Gordon Ridgway said. The next
step in the process is to prepare
for another town meeting, to be
held this summer, when taxpay-
ers will decide how and whether
to proceed on the project as a
whole.
To prepare for that meeting,
Ridgway explained, technical ex-
pertise will be necessary, lead-
ing to a request for an addition-

service of any town in the area.
The two closest towns with a
comparable level of service are
Winsted and Millerton (where
Northern Dutchess Paramedics
has its office). That means that
there is at least one paramedic
on duty in North Canaan 24
hours a day, seven days a week.
Tom Anderson is the paid
paramedic for the town; he is
backed up by trained volunteers,
including Minacci.
All agreed that the new chest
compression device will be an
enormous aid to the EMTs.
There are several challenges
with doing manual CPR, they
said. First, it’s physically ex-
hausting. There aren’t always
enough volunteers available
for a call to allow the volunteers
to switch off and take turns.
It takes at minimum 20 to 25
minutes to reach a hospital from
North Canaan, Minacci said; it’s
extremely challenging for one
or two people to perform CPR
effectively for that amount of
time.
Another challenge is that of-
ten CPR needs to be performed
while a patient is being trans-
ported to the ambulance or into
the hospital. It’s difficult to do
while a person is on a moving
gurney or being carried down a
steep hillside or a stairway.
The Lucas chest compres-
sion device takes out the hu-
man factor in irregularities of
CPR because it is a machine, the
paramedics said. It works at a
completely steady, efficient rate.
It calculates the size of the
patient’s body and figures out
the correct rate of pulsing and
the correct force needed. Ohler
cited a study that shows that on
average about 30% more force
for treatment, and Brian Coyle,
chief operator for distribution,
notified the North Canaan se-
lectmen that customers can
now sign up to receive notice of
construction projects or water
service outages.
Scheduled for this year is the
installation of 75 feet of new wa-
ter main on Railroad Street; also
al $6,000 in fees. Ridgway said
that Barbara Herbst, the town’s
finance officer, confirmed that
the funds are available to cover
the additional cost.
Ridgway expects that the
USDA will have questions about
the application. Technical exper-
tise will be needed to properly
answer those questions.
To prepare for the town
meeting, site evaluations will be
needed, along with an evaluation
of the different types of technol-
ogies and the preparation of a
detailed budget.
A timeline and visuals also
need to be prepared for presen-
tation to taxpayers.
Praising the work provided
by engineer Steve McDonnell of
WMC to the town, Ridgway said,
“This is a reasonable amount of
money to get the town to where
it needs to go, and there’s no one
more qualified to do the work.”
Reluctant to slow the momen-
tum, Ridgway said, “We should
keep plugging away.”

because it’s hard to calculate and
in part because adrenaline kicks
in for the EMTs as they’re trying
to save a life.
Also, “The Lucas can con-
tinue pulsing even while we’re
moving the patient,” Anderson
said, which humans can’t easily
do.
“If a hiker is up on a moun-
tain, we can do constant com-
pression as soon as we get up

During the selectmen’s dis-
cussion, Selectman Marina Ka-

comfort that the town approved
an engineering expenditure of
$10,000, but now an additional
expenditure of $6,000 is being
called for by the engineer.
“We went to the town with
this number [$10,000]. I am for
transparency,” Katchoubey said.
Selectman Priscilla Pavel said
that she felt that the selectmen
should be open with the sewer
committee, although she was
in favor of extending the WMC

“It is a question of process and
time,” Ridgway said. Katchoubey
said that she wanted to hear from

fore deciding. Pavel said that
she wants to respect both sides
of the question, although she is
encouraged that the additional

was brought up to the state Leg-

that the railroad company must

The consequences of the nationwide tax migration

A
mericans have been
moving from high tax
states to lower tax states
for decades. Climate, cheaper
housing prices, less congestion
and jobs are some of the reasons
behind such moves. That trend,
however, has added taxes to that
list, thanks to the Tax Cuts and
Jobs Act of 2017.
Many of those reasons for
moving have been with us
ever since Horace Greeley, the
American author and newspaper
man, reportedly first advised
America’s youth to “Go West.”
Complicated, yet simple: supporting Buttigieg
Back in 19th century America,
the country had embraced the
concept of “Manifest Destiny.”
The Greeleys of the world had
argued that it was inevitable,
justified and our God-given
right to expand throughout the
continent. That turned out to be
good for the white guys but bad
for the American Indians; that’s
a deeper story for another time.
Today, I would amend that
saying to include the South and
any state where there are lower,
or no, state income taxes. In
truth, most state residents are
concerned about their total
tax burden — property taxes,
income taxes and sales and ex-
cise taxes. But over the last two
years, many of those who have
moved have done so based on the
changes in the federal tax code.
The 2017 federal tax law,
which President Trump signed
after a party-line vote in Con-
gress, limited to $10,000 the
state and local tax payments
that families can write off on
their federal income taxes if they
itemize deductions.
The impact was devastating
to those taxpayers in income
tax states that were singled out
by the Republican-controlled
Congress. For many lower-in-
come or retired families, it was
the straw that broke the camel’s
bank. Those who live in New
York state, for example, found
that they were now paying two-
and-a-half-times the tax burden
of their counterparts in Alaska.
As a result, a great migration ap-
pears to be gathering steam. The
top states Americans are fleeing
include New Jersey, New York,
Illinois, Connecticut, California
and others.
Those states that are “benefit-
ing” from this trend include Flor-

I decided not to take out a mort-
gage on my new condo. Bottom
line: I reduced my overall tax
burden considerably. It was a
win-win for me, but not so much
for Massachusetts.
We already know that many
who are moving are retirees or
the elderly (think Florida and the
Carolinas), who no longer pay
much in income taxes anyway.
Like me, they are also more likely
will not only be forced to raise
taxes just to keep up with all this
new demand for governmental
services, but may even need to
legislate their own state income
tax.
Today, Texas ranks among
the states with the highest share
of taxpayers who pay more
than $10,000 in property tax-
es, according to the National
Association of Home Builders.
Dallas has turned into a “blue”
city. Texas old-timers are com-
plaining that liberals are now
making inroads and gaining
more political influence in other
metropolitan areas. The moral
of this tale is to be careful what

N
o one can deny me my
motivation for voting
for Pete Buttigieg. He’s
queer, for Christ’s sake! I grew
up in a society where it was
acceptable to dismiss me, deny
me housing, jobs and marriage.
It was acceptable for a hospital to
deny my husband visiting rights.
It was tolerated that I be chased
and abused on city streets and
on country roads.
It was expected that I would
die from AIDS or a bashing
because I was a pervert. I was
restricted from family gather-
ings for a decade. I had no role
models in public life showing me
that queer life was anything but
transgressive. I had no paired
queer peers or elders to show
me that we can have committed,
caring and loving relationships.
If you’re a pre-millennial
queer, that was your life. For
many, here and all over the world,
that is still life. And for many,
you’re only accepted if you fill
the expectations of stereotype
— play the role and receive the
applause, though still endure the
occasional beating. That is no life.
Pete is iconic. He projects to
generations young and old that
no one should be disenfran-
chised, that everyone can par-
ticipate and everyone’s invited.

glad Pete’s here now for everyone.
I am proud of Pete and I admit
that pride is tribal. My tribe is
older and queer. We know that
each queer generation hands
down the victories of their battles
to the next. Every tribe has this
history — oppression followed by
victory. We should acknowledge
this shared experience and draw
strength from it.
At 55, I find myself on a po-
litical generational divide that is
ironic. Growing up, I was socially
partitioned. Nowadays, I realize
that my generation and those
before it have left out in the cold
our younger generations with
diminished opportunity, wealth,
prosperity and education. Dou-
bly ironic is that Pete is of this
younger generation, but his age
peers reject him while many of
my age reject Bernie.
I think older voters know
what age does to the body. I know,
and I am wary of a gerontocracy
because of it. I’d rather we pass
the hard work on to the young,
who should know the world is
calling on their leadership.
It’s all so complicated, espe-
cially when younger folk accuse
me of being a moderate. Op-
pressed tribes like mine find the
ever-present circular firing lines
on the left and right amusing.
Why do those in power always
fight over purity and lose sight
of the common shared goal of
victory, the prize?
But what isn’t complicated
is that many of us want change.
Each generation wants change of
some sort and we have a history
of entrusting that change to the
more youthful and aspirational.
Maybe we broke that from my
parent’s generation down to
yours. I hope not. I want to be-
lieve we are still able to be united
and act in union.
So, no one will deny my moti-
vation to vote for Pete. Whoever
ends up on the Democratic tick-
et, I will vote for them because
I want change from our current
situation. Truthfully, I’d be ex-
tremely happy with a Klobuchar/
Buttigieg ticket because that
would mean Pete would debate
Vice President Pence.
Thank you, Pete, for the exam-
ple of your American experience
and for the road you are paving.

ida, Texas, New Mexico, North
and South Carolina, Washington
and Arizona, among others. If
you look at the total tax burden
(as opposed to just the state
income tax), Americans are
still clearly being driven by the
overall tax burdens. The average
state tax burden of the inbound
migration states totals 7.88%
compared to 9.55% for the top
10 outbound states.
As we enter 2020, the mi-
gration continues unabated.
Conservatives are crowing over
the trend, while liberals believe
they have been singled out for
retribution by the GOP and the
president. They complain that
it is no longer a country of the
people, by the people, and for the
people unless you are a Trump
supporter. As blue states strug-
gle with maintaining services
for their enormous population
centers, more and more middle
and lower-income families have
had enough. And that’s the rub.
Take me, solidly middle-class.
I moved from a higher tax state
(New York) to a lower tax state
(Massachusetts). Granted,
Massachusetts taxes are not
much lower, but it did make a
difference, especially when it
came to state and local property
taxes. And given that mortgage
tax deductions are now capped,
to buy something much smaller,
or may even decide to rent. You
can bet, as they get older, they
will also be consuming a larger
and larger share of these low-tax
states’ goods and services. And
since most of them are coming
from blue states, they will be
bringing their high-brow, liberal
political thinking with them.
There might come a time in
the not-too-distant future where

OBITUARIES
Mary Elliott Adams
NORTH CANAAN — Mary
Elliott Adams, 95, peacefully
passed from this life to be with
her Lord and the glory of heaven
on Feb. 7, 2020.
Mary was born in Perquim-
ans County in North Carolina
on March 23, 1924, and was the
daughter of the late William
Clyde and Ocia Copeland Elliott
of Hertford.
After meeting and marry-
ing her husband, Fred, in 1944,
and while he was in the Pacific
during World War II, Mary brief-
ly resided with Fred’s parents in
Ashley Falls, Mass. After the war
she and Fred ultimately settled in
North Canaan in 1946.
A homemaker raising two
boys, she also partnered with
Fred managing and operating
Adams Radio and TV until
1987. Later in life and wanting
to keep herself busy Mary helped
manage the Canaan Laundromat
until she was in her mid-80s.
A soft-spoken, unassuming
soul, she was a lifelong and de-
voted member of the Canaan
United Methodist Church, serv-
ing in various capacities includ-
ing singing in the choir.
She was also a member of
the Esther Chapter, Order of
the Eastern Star. At her Church
Street home of 63 years she en-
tertained and welcomed family
and friends.
Mary was an avid Yankees fan
all her life, which complemented
her long and storied friendship
with Baseball Hall of Famer Jim
“Catfish” Hunter.
In addition to her parents,
she was preceded in death by
her soul mate and husband of
46 years Fred M. Adams; by her

ily. She was the widow
of Paul J. Vona.
Jill was born on Jan.
17, 1947, daughter of
the late Charles Buel
and Jean (Tremper)
Peck.
Jill is survived by
her sister, Joni Peck
Ford of Lakeville; her
nephew, Taylor Peck
Ford of Falls Village; and many
loving cousins and dear friends.
Jill, a graduate of Roeliff Jan-
sen High School and Endicott
College, went on to become the
owner of Vona Ventures, pro-
moting creativity in the arts:
writing, photography and paint-
ing.
Jill authored “Cook & Chat-
ter: A Trip Down Memory Lane”
and “Addicted to Cold Water,” for
which she won the 2012 Bronze
Reader’s Digest award. She was

(Calhoun) Heminway
CORNWALL — Susan Gor-
don (Calhoun) Heminway, 83,
died at home Feb. 6, 2020, of
complications from Parkin-
son’s disease. She was born in
Cornwall on June 30, 1936, the
daughter of Mary (Pol-
ly) and Frank Calhoun.
She was a graduate of
the Northfield School
and attended Sweet
Briar and Connecticut
Colleges before grad-
uating from Boston
University.
Sue was married to
Cal Heminway for al-
most 61 years. In 1960,
they settled in Granby, Conn.,
where she raised their family.
Sarah, Debby, Seth and Bill and
their spouses and the grandchil-
dren were her primary love and
lifelong concern. Sue often “held
the fort” for children and numer-
ous farm animals, compensating
for an often-absent international
traveling spouse.
Concerned with educational
and environmental issues, Sue
soon became involved with
many related Granby volunteer
activities. In 1970, together with
the late Gerry Palmer, Sue orga-
nized and ran Granby’s volunteer
recycling program for a number
of years. This included trips in
town trucks laden with crushed
glass delivered to remote Con-
necticut locations!
She was a member of the
Granby Visiting Nurse Associa-
tion board for a number of years,
the Granby Scholarship Associ-
ation, made deliveries for Meals
on Wheels, and was a collector
and coordinator for the Granby
Community Fund.
Herself a student participant
to Finland, Sue was active in the
local American Field Service
chapter. She became a “mom”
for the fifth time when hosting a
Swedish student for an academic
year.
A Granby Land Trust incor-
porator, she was involved in early
acquisitions. Most recently, she
delighted in a family land contri-
bution in North Granby.
She worked with the Cossitt

He was born May 8, 1936,
in Louisville, Ky., to Catherine
(Fitzgibbon) and Frank Mc-
Donough.
He grew up in Madison,
Conn., where he graduated
from Hand High School. He
was a graduate of the Colorado
School of Mines in Golden, Colo.

buildings are not only “all

everywhere. According to
an official count made more
than a decade ago, SOM —
founded in Chicago in 1936
and a pioneer of the modern
skyscraper — is responsible
for well over 12,000 build-

the Sears Tower in Chicago

New Thriller From Furst Is

Not the Best, but Still Darn Good
‘U
nder Occupation”
is the latest spy
novel from Alan
Furst, who is often compared
— favorably — to Eric Am-
bler and Graham Greene.
It’s the 15th book in the
Night Soldiers series. Set
mostly in Paris, the stories
detail the activities of fairly
ordinary citizens — with a
master spy here and there —
in the run-up to World War
II, or during the war.
This installment’s hero
is crime fiction writer Paul
Ricard, who finds himself in
a very Hitchcockian situation
when a dying man, pursued
by the Gestapo, hands him a
piece of paper with a design
of some kind of weapon.
Ricard, who has been hun-
kered down in Paris trying
to write and making the best
of the German occupation,
makes discreet inquiries as
to the best way to get the
information to the British.
Of course, the British
want more. And so a secret
agent is born.
A so-so effort from Furst is
approximately 87 kajillion times
better than the best stuff from
the average thriller writer.
“Under Occupation” is a missed the similarity, there

“By today’s standards, his
early buildings, even in glass
and steel, are quite small
and intimate,” Adams says.
“As time passed, however,
his buildings became larger
and more sculptural.”
Some of Bunshaft’s best
work has been lost through
renovation or demolition:

was torn down to make way
for a new midtown Manhat-
tan tower.
But most of it remains, at
least for now, including the
controversial and much-be-
loved Beinecke Library
at Yale University, which
Adams considers Bunshaft’s
most personal building.
“It’s his most compact
“It’s also memorable: Go see
it, you won’t forget it.”
With his new book —
and his upcoming presen-
tation at the Hotchkiss Li-
brary of Sharon on Sunday,
Feb. 16, at 4 p.m. — Adams
uses his historian’s eye and
research skills to refocus
public appreciation for
the legacy of a man whose
maxim was always “to let
the buildings speak for
themselves.” In doing so, he
also manages to speak for
Gordon Bunshaft.
