Need help installing ads mod on custom theme (Rudra)
Post by:
August 31, 2009, 02:41:01 am
Please note I've got things setup to show both on selected boards as well as the board index and child boards etc however they will only seem to show on some section plus the particular boards so it might be an issue of mind and not the mods.
as an example we have a few different ads setup to show throughout the board however each sponsor for example would have their own board and as such only their image is set to show in this board. To have this work to a point I've selected the board number 37.0 in the attached example and added a comma after it because prior to that it would only show in the board 37.0. However the images only seen to show on the board index even tho I've selected other sections.
Is this the way this mod works or does extra work need completing in the right files?
If so please advise which files might be needed and I ask if someone would mind taking a look for me and adding the code needed, if things are working as they should please ignore this post and feel free to removed.

Yes I am in Hawaii right now, at this beautiful resort called Turtle Bay, but here I am posting photos of Yosemite... Why? Well mainly because I edited these on the plane ride over here. Also because I haven't really had a chance to go through all the photos I've taken so far. I'll try and post some Hawaii shots before Saturday but I can't really promise anything since our days are pretty packed with plans, but some possible rain in the forecast might change those plans. I'm also posting a few pics from my trip to Yosemite last August, because last week I was surprisingly able to reserve a campsite for four nights at the end of April in the park.
If you don't know, reserving a campsite at Yosemite is harder than trying to get concert tickets, sports tickets, or any other type of event ticket. Every campsite in Yosemite goes on sale the 15th of every month, six months in advance, at 7am, for a full month of reservations, and every campsite is sold out by 7:02! INSANE, I know!
April is turning out to be a very busy but awesome month. As of right now, my plans for April include Yosemite, Coachella, and the Phillies four-game series in San Diego. I'm sure I will try and pack a few more things into the month before April begins.

Over three hundred Wiltshire parish registers, dating back to 1538, have now been digitised by Ancestry working in partnership with Wiltshire and Swindon History Centre, a service funded by Wiltshire Council and Swindon Borough Council. This will open up access to over 6 million names of ancestors who were baptised, married or buried in the county of Wiltshire. Ancestry.co.uk is a subscription based genealogical website which is available free of charge at the Wiltshire and Swindon History Centre, and in libraries in Wiltshire and Swindon.
Wiltshire has had its fair share of famous inhabitants over the years. Among the people born in the county are talents as diverse as musician James Blunt, born in Tidworth; the actresses Billie Piper and Diana Dors, both daughters of Swindon; comedian David Mitchell, born in Salisbury; and even the Youtube vlogger Zoella, born in Lacock!
Famous people were not just born here, but have lived and died here too. War poet Siegfried Sassoon lived in Heytesbury; the creator of 'James Bond', Ian Fleming, is buried at Sevenhampton; and Prime Minister Edward Heath had his ashes interred in Salisbury Cathedral, among many others.
A small selection of the famous Wiltshire inhabitants you can uncover in the Wiltshire parish registers are:
Sir Christopher Wren - the architect who designed St Paul's Cathedral, was born and baptised in the village of East Knoyle, in Wiltshire. Son of the rector of East Knoyle, also called Christopher, Sir Christopher was not the first child with that name. The first Christopher was baptised 22 November 1630.
Sadly but fairly typically of this era, the first Christopher did not survive, although his burial is not recorded in the registers.
The second Christopher, who went on to become the famous architect, was baptised the following year, 10 November 1631:
"Christopher 2d sonne of Christopher Wren D[oc]t[o]r in Divinitie & Rector"
I found this particularly interesting as according to the Dictionary of National Biography Christopher was born 20 October 1632 – so the last year is incorrect in the latter. I did double check the baptism register for 1632 and 1633 and there is definitely no further baptism of a Christopher Wren in that period.
Wren spent the first eight years of his life at East Knoyle, where he was educated by a local clergyman. His family moved to Windsor when his father became Dean there, and Wren completed his education at the University of Oxford. A distinguished scientist as well as a gifted architect, he and his colleagues were responsible for rebuilding at least fifty two churches in London, after the devastation caused by the Great Fire of 1666. His masterpiece was St Paul's Cathedral, still a key feature of the London skyline today despite modern development. Other major projects he worked on are the Royal Naval College, Greenwich and the south front of Hampton Court Palace. He was buried on the 17th March 1723 in St Paul's Cathedral, London.
William Henry Fox Talbot is another Wiltshire inhabitant who achieved international fame.
Born in 1800 over the county border at his mother's childhood home of Melbury, Dorset, Fox Talbot did not move to Lacock Abbey until 1828 (despite inheriting the estate at a very young age) as the property was leased to a tenant before this. While at Lacock William began to work on the project which has made him still famous today as one of the pioneers of modern photography – he developed the 'calotype' method of photography between 1837 and 1841. In 1842 he was rewarded with a medal from the Royal Society for his work, which facilitated the generation of any number of photographic prints from a single negative. Something of a renaissance man, Fox Talbot published various works on photography, botany, mathematics, astronomy and physics, as well as being a keen amateur archaeologist. He served as MP for Chippenham from 1832-1835, and was High Sheriff of Wiltshire in 1840. Fox Talbot died on 17 September 1877 and is buried in the churchyard of Lacock parish church. His burial is recorded in the parish registers of Lacock for 21 September 1877 thus:
For more information about the Talbot family of Lacock please see:http://www.wshc.eu/lacock/
Hannah Twynnoy
Last but not least, I thought I would finish this survey of Wiltshire inhabitants with someone you may not have heard of but who perhaps deserves to be more well-known. Her name is Hannah Twynney (or Twynnoy) and she has the rare distinction of being the first person in Britain to be killed by a tiger! Hannah's extraordinary death is recorded in both her tombstone in Malmesbury Abbey graveyard and in the parish register of burials, thus:
"October…24th Hannah Twynney Kild by a Tygre at the white lyon"
Her tombstone reads:
"In memory ofHannah TwynnoyWho died October 23rd 1703Aged 33 yearsIn bloom of lifeShe's snatched from henceShe had not room to make defence;For Tyger fierce Took life awayAnd here she liesIn a bed of clayUntil the Resurrection Day"
According to Athelstan Museum in Malmesbury there used to be a memorial to Hannah in Hullavington church which stated: "To the memory of Hannah Twynnoy. She was a servant of the White Lion Inn where there was an exhibition of wild beasts, and amongst the rest a very fierce tiger which she imprudently took pleasure in teasing, not withstanding the repeated remonstrance of its keeper. One day whilst amusing herself with this dangerous diversion the enraged animal by an extraordinary effort drew out the staple, sprang towards the unhappy girl, caught hold of her gown and tore her to pieces."
Poor Hannah will be remembered for posterity for her foolishness, but who will spare a thought for the tiger, no doubt killed by its keepers soon after?!
Other examples of wild animals in the county can be found at: https://www.wshc.eu/blog/item/wiltshire-s-wild-cats.html

"Gone were the buxom femininity of the Edwardian lady and the bluff machismo of the Edwardian gent. The new woman lopped off her hair, first bobbing it, then shingling it … and then cutting it all off into an Eton crop, the shortest of all. She wore cloche hats and sporty, androgynous-looking jumpers, her breasts bound beneath them. She wore scarlet lip-stick, she smoked and drank. And as the girls looked like boys, so the boys looked more like girls. They shaved their beards so that their faces were as smooth as their lacquered hair. Some wore make-up. This look of infantile androgyny both denied maturity and knowingly undermined the conventional distinction of sexual difference."

The Fabric of Life is a Heritage Lottery Funded project which will see young people look at the history of fashion as a form of identity with particular focus on gender and sexuality. We are a partner in this Wiltshire Council's Arts Service and Wiltshire Youth Arts Partnership (WYAP) project along with local museums like Trowbridge and Chippenham.
The project began in January this year and will culminate with an event in November. We're pleased to have already hosted a group of young people here at the History Centre while another group have enjoyed a trip to the Fashion Museum in Bath.
Since then research has also taken place at local museums and given participants a real insight into the wealth of Wiltshire's fabric history, how fashion has changed and how identity can be formed out of what we wear.
You can follow updates on the progress of the project on the Arts in Wiltshire blog which will be updated by Project Coordinator Emily Malcolm

We need individuals and groups to help us gather data on public art in the community such as location of the item, its condition, what is known of it and a photograph of it in situ. Workshops will be run to help prepare, organise and collate material. Data collected as part of the project will be made available in the Local Studies Library at the Wiltshire & Swindon History Centre with images deposited in the Historic Photograph and Print Collection. The images will then be pinned to the Know Your Place site to map their location geographically.

Churchwardens' accounts are an important resource for historians and genealogists and we are seeking volunteers to help collect data from all surviving pre-1850 churchwardens' accounts. This important National Database, although not yet complete, will go 'live' shortly and will be updated regularly. The Database will be freely available to all here.
The data we are collecting is:-• The year of each surviving account.• The total expenditure for each surviving year.
It is not necessary to have experience of churchwardens' accounts; training will be provided together with information and guidance notes to help you.
We are (ideally) looking for people who can spare some time on a regular basis, for approximately six months, in their Local Record Office. If you already have this information for one or more parishes or you are willing to collect it from just one or two parishes that is fine. All help will be gratefully received and acknowledged.

The preservation of archives for future generations is core to the role of Wiltshire and Swindon History Centre. Central to preservation are appropriate security measures to prevent loss, theft or damage.
Please note that from 6 June 2017 we will be improving the security of our unique archives by the following measures:
• Each researcher may order as many documents as they need but will only be issued with ONE item (which may be a box, a volume, a printed book, a bundle or a single document depending on numbering) at a time.
• Maps accompanied by a survey book will still be produced together, on the map table.
• Researchers wishing to use more than one document at a time (eg to compare handwriting or for some other legitimate purpose) should speak to the duty archivist in advance of ordering, and will need to sit in close proximity to the help desk to use their items.
• Researchers may if they wish to, indicate the priority of documents at the time of ordering to help with allocating this e.g. if you are ordering a deed and a will, but you wish to view the deed first, put 'Top priority' on the order slip
• The researcher should return documents to the search room trolley. Staff retrieving these can then issue the next document to the researcher's table.
It is recommended that elderly/infirm customers sit close to the returns trolley.
• When there is only one document production assistant working, e.g. Saturdays and lunch times, production times may increase.
We are aware that these changes may slow down the speed of accessing documents slightly but we feel confident that we can still meet our target, which is to provide customers with their first document within 20 minutes from the time of ordering.Pre-ordering of documents will assist in enabling our staff to continue to provide an excellent service to researchers.
Thank you

The brutal excesses of Saddam Hussein's regime were relived yesterday as Iraq's new government announced that it had hanged 27 prisoners convicted of terror and criminal charges.
Mass executions at Baghdad's Abu Ghraib prison, which has several gallows erected in the execution chamber, were suspended after coalition-led troops overthrew Saddam three years ago. The death penalty was reinstituted in 2004, and yesterday's executions took place just days after control of Abu Ghraib was handed over to the Iraqi authorities.
An Iraqi Justice Ministry official said two of those hanged had been convicted of terrorism charges, and the other 25 – including a woman – were convicted of murder and kidnap.

For those who think that Armitage's admission lets Rove and Libby off the hook, note that Warren Strobel included the following in his account:
"The administration's defenders have claimed that Armitage's acknowledgement of his role, which has been speculated about for months, takes much of the sting out of those allegations.
"But interviews and documents also portray the White House — in the persons of Bush aide Karl Rove, Cheney chief of staff I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby and others — as furiously trying to get information about Wilson and Plame, then discussing it with reporters."
Also, Armitage says he didn't know Valerie Wilson by the name Valerie Plame or that she was working undercover. So how did Novak and Judith Miller get the name Valerie Plame to use in their stories? Who was it who knew that Valerie Wilson used the name "Valerie Plame" when she was on CIA business? And who passed this tidbit along?

Anon 1:25,
I am a conservative and I am mortified by your comments. Democrats may have a different perspective on how the country should be ran than I do but I don't question their love for this country. I disagree with Ron and DocLarry and many of the others on how things should be but I have never questioned their patriotic love for this country. You have just invalidated anything I can say because you have been associated to me because I am a conservative. Thanks a lot for destroying any rational discussion that could have come from this post.
That makes me more upset than anything people on the left can say. You are just as wacko as the extreme left's conspiracy theories and their hate for Bush. You are not helping by your nut job comments. You do not win people's minds and hearts over by telling them that they hate our country.

Chatter has switched to Beta Blogger, which doesn't allow Blogger IDs to post comments. It works the opposite way as well, which is why I can't post comments on your site using my Beta Blogger ID.
It's Google's fault, not Ron's, not yours, not mine. Google doesn't inform you of this until after you switch (at their invitation) and attempt to post a comment on a blog which hasn't switched. Stupid Google.

I knew that Ron would not be doing anything intentional. I had not heard that the new Blogger Beta was causing such issues. Thanks for the heads up. Appreciate the info.

I need your help in order to serve this community and this state as the Senator for the 26th LD. The stakes are too high, and the repercussions are unthinkable if we do not come together now and retain this senate seat.
The Marty for State Senate website is up, www.ElectMarty.com, the materials are in, and forums and events are being booked!
Now it is time to get to work securing the Senate seat, keeping it in Republican hands so that we can continue the good work of serving the constituents that Jan Angel started in the 26th Legislative District
That means door-belling, sign waving, parade walking, attending forums, building signs, pounding signs, and getting our Republicans and conservative-leaning voters out to vote by in-person conversations, phone banking, and direct mail.
If you can dedicate an hour per week, great. If you can do an hour per night fantastic! If you can do more, even better. If you cannot give time, but can give money, please do — everything helps. You can donate at www.ElectMarty.com.
Jessica Varvil, my campaign Manager, will be calling many of you on my behalf to invite you to the events I mentioned. I will post a current list of opportunities below.
The first immediate need is first Super Saturday door-belling event this Saturday 6/16/2018. At 10 am, we will meet at the campaign's volunteer headquarters located at 1623 Stone Drive NW, Gig Harbor WA 98335.
We will have a gathering with doughnuts and coffee, get your phones set up with the canvasing application, and pair up in teams. Then we will go out to a neighborhood and meet the good folks in the District. After all our hard work, we can come back and have pizza and snacks.
Please let Jessica know when you are available, what you want to do, and what you are willing to do to make sure that this Senate seat stays Republican. Let it be known that we do not want Seattle politics here. This is the time for victory.
God Bless,
Jessica's contact information is: 253-444-8963 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

"Once you shift your thoughts for the better, your world begins to shift with them."― Marcey Shapiro
You think you ain't affected by the law of attraction? Think a again.
We all are. And it's often immediate.
I was having a "moment" after seeing something on social media that someone had plagiarized from my work, and I went to shake up my protein shake -- before I'd screwed the top on super tight-- and the top flew off and boom! Protein shake covered my kitchen.
Now I've come a long way, because I didn't swear or even get pissed. I laughed at the accuracy and immediacy of the law of attraction, thanked the Universe for the heads up and reminder of my sloppy thinking and energy, and began again by choosing a better feeling thought.
Have the BEST DAY EVER! Namaste! Taylor plus 5

iPhone Photography Tips: How to Shoot an Overhead Picture
By Leanne Hays
One of my favorite features of the iPhone is the Camera, as well as the Photos app. Before purchasing my first iPhone I didn't take too many photographs at all; it was just too inconvenient to tote around a camera and then upload the photos to my desktop. Now that I've had an iPhone for several years, it's time to learn some photography tips so I can fully utilize my smartphone to take great pictures, or at least good ones! But how to take good pictures on my iPhone when I've never been much of a photographer? Luckily Apple shares lots of photography tips and tricks, and here's one I want to pass on to you; how to take an overhead shot on your iPhone. Let's get started!

Jim and Shirley Draper of Colebrook were well known for their kindness and humility. During their lives, they supported many community organizations and educational institutions, foregoing affluence to provide for the needs of their community. In 2010, the Drapers left their final and perpetual gift, a $30 million endowment to establish a fund that supports in perpetuity 19 area nonprofits chosen by the Drapers.
Giving is personal. That's why we work with donors and their financial advisors to establish donors' individual charitable goals and administer the tools necessary to reach them. We provide fund investment and accounting management and ensure that tax and audit requirements are met. We award grants based on your recommendations, and audit grant recipients to ensure that your donations are doing the most good and are in perfect alignment with your philanthropic goals.
You can establish a fund that provides grants to specific named non-profit organizations, or more broadly, provide grants to non-profits for a specific field of interest, such as access to healthcare, homelessness, childcare, education, land conservation, animal rescue or any other cause that is important you. You can also establish a non-restricted fund, and the Foundation will award grants where and when they are needed most in your community.
There are many advantages to establishing a charitable gift, and your Foundation offers a variety of options for charitable organizations, families and individuals to use during and after their lifetime. We work with a well-qualified team of financial advisors. We also are happy to work closely with your legal or financial advisors to set up your charitable fund. In some cases, they can even continue to manage the assets.

In 1960, Mary Coutant was Mary Humeston, a teenage girl attending Camp Mohawk, a camp for girls nestled among 1,500 acres of state forest in the hills of Northwest Connecticut. As a Counselor in Training (CIT), Mary worked to develop leadership, public speaking, teaching and counseling skills.
During her time at Camp Mohawk, she served as assistant waterfront director, senior unit director and eventually led the CIT program. In 1962, she met another fellow camp counselor named Roger Coutant; the two married four years later in 1967.
"Mary emanated the spirit and energy of Camp Mohawk," said Fran Marchand Camp Mohawk Executive Director.
She earned a degree in psychology from Springfield College in Massachusetts, a school with a strong athletic focus and historical partnership with YMCA USA. In 1998, she established the Winchester Youth Service Bureau, an agency that functions as a case manager for families of at-risk children, helping them to access agencies and resources, so their children experience success at school, at home and in the community.
"Mary was a force for good," Foundation President Guy Rovezzi said. "And her contributions to the welfare of our community, especially where it concerns children, will be felt for generations to come."
Over the course of her life, Mary received the Torrington Rotary Club's Paul Harris Fellowship award; was named Person of the Year by the Torrington UNICO Club; and earned the Chamber of Commerce of Northwest Connecticut's Community Leader Award.
In recognition of Mary's contributions to the community, The Mary H. Coutant Fund for the Summer Fun Club was established at the Foundation in 2001. Recently renamed The Mary H. Coutant Fund for Rising Star Camp, the endowment supports programs that benefit at-risk children through the Winchester Youth Service Bureau aged 5 to 15 by encouraging healthy choices and goal-setting.
In addition to establishing The Mary H. Coutant Fund for Rising Star Camp, Mary bequeathed seed money to Camp Mohawk for the establishment of a non-restricted fund. The Camp Mohawk Fund will support Camp Mohawk and enable others to continue Mary's legacy by including the Camp in their estate planning.

Tim Considine, or "T. Cons" as many of his hundreds of friends called him, was a funny man known for his quick wit and endless oneliners. He could take a bad day, a moment of anxiety or fear, and lighten the mood with a comment that elicited laughter from everyone in the room.
A father of two boys, Timmy and Brian, he never stopped trying to make his children smile. "Top of the morning, Lads," he'd say to them as they stumbled downstairs in the morning for his famous egg breakfasts. Every night on their way to bed, the three would share in a two part exchange with Tim saying, "God willing," and the boys responding, "and the creek don't rise," completing together the folk saying, "God willing and the creek don't rise," meaning the speaker will complete a task if all goes well.
An accomplished college athlete and Yankees fan, Tim coached Torrington Little league, Torrington Babe Ruth, Pal/Elks Basketball, and basketball at his alma mater, St. Francis School, later renamed St. Peter/St Francis School. He found time to help paint the school cafeteria, prune trees in the schoolyard, and chair golf tournaments. "Whatever he could do, he would try to help out," said his wife, Cheryl Considine.
"He was everyone's friend. Everyone knew him, and everyone who knew him considered him a friend." Tim was known for making people laugh, often so hard that it hurt their stomachs. And, his faith was as big as his funny bone. He grew up attending church with his parents, and he never stopped, always sitting in his favorite pew. "His faith was very important to him," said Cheryl. "It carried him through his illness and connected him to his community."
In November 2011, Tim developed a limp; three months later, he was diagnosed with ALS or Lou Gehrig's disease. "Thank goodness it isn'tnamed after a Red Sox player," Tim quipped. While Tim joked to once again make a stressful situation easier for everyone else, he knew he didn't have much longer to support his family, be there for his children, and share his time with his community.
The community of Torrington reached out to the Considines with food, prayer, good will, and countless visits. "The whole town wanted to see him; and he wanted to see them," said Cheryl. "He wanted them in his life, and they wanted to be there for him." For months the Considine house was full of support from his faith, family, friends, and most of all full of laughter. During one of several memorable conversations with his sons, as Tim discussed with them the extent of his illness, he told them: "There are three things that are really important in life: Faith, Family and Friends." Later that night, his son Brian designed wristbands with his father's advice printed on them. The bands were ordered and quickly could be seen everywhere in the community. Starting out as solid green for family members, Brian decided to order more in green and white to sell to friends and the community, with all proceeds going to the ALS Association of CT.
On July 28, 2012, dubbed, "Tim Considine Appreciation Day," and recognized by Governor Malloy as ALS Awareness Day in the State of CT, an estimated 1,500 people gathered in the rain at Action Wildlife in Goshen to raise money for the Considine boys' education and to show their support for the Considine family. Tim greeted each and everyone with a smile from his wheelchair. With Tim's passing, Cheryl Considine wanted to give back. "I wanted to show the town how much I appreciated everything they did for Tim, me and my children," said Cheryl. "Tim always wanted to help the youth in his community, and that's where he was really involved. I wanted to give back to them the way Tim would have."
Established in October 2012, the Tim Considine Memorial Scholarship Fund awards two $1,000 scholarships to students who, like Tim, have a love of athletics, a strong academic background, a connection to community, and a strong faith. In Tim's spirit, the Tim Considine Memorial Scholarship Fund will continue to help local youth in perpetuity, "God willing and (whether or not) the creek don't rise."
During their 35-year marriage, Shirley and Toby MacCallum shared many things, an antique business, three children and a strong sense of connection and responsibility to animals in their community. A deep respect for animals was instilled in Shirley at a young age. Growing up on a farm in Massachusetts, Shirley had plenty of opportunities to befriend animals of all kinds.
"We had rabbits, chickens, cows, horses and cats, you name it," said Shirley. "I wanted to bring all of the animals inside. Dad was not happy about that."
Over the years, Shirley and Toby welcomed many canine companions into their family and made regular donations to local animal welfare organizations in their community. But when they were forced to put down their longtime companion, Smokey, a mixed-breed shelter dog and member of the family for more than 18 years, Shirley was so heartbroken that she decided she would never adopt another dog. Instead, she doubled the couple's efforts to support local animal welfare organization that needed support.
"I gave to everything," said Shirley, "any animal organization that needed help. I didn't care if it was a skunk who needed help. I sent money to help."
Then in 2003, Toby was diagnosed with cancer and given a year to live. He had one request of Shirley:
"I want a dog," he said.
Days later, the couple ran into a colleague who was returning from his veterinarian's office with a litter of yellow labs. Toby scooped a wiggling puppy into his arms. He looked at Shirley, and they both knew that Esmerelda "Little Molly" had found a home.
To the surprise of doctors, Toby lived for more than eight years, fighting for his life with Molly by his side. "She never left him," said Shirley. "They were always cuddled up together. Molly would lay in the bed with him with her head on his leg. She slept with us." They soon discovered that Molly was fighting a battle of her own. Molly was diagnosed with Lymphoma.
"Whatever happens," Toby said to Shirley, "When I'm gone, take care of Molly."
Toby passed away in 2012. Soon after, Molly became extremely ill. After seven months of dialysis, with Shirley a constant by her side, Molly too passed away.
"I spent so much time at the veterinarian's office, meeting sick animals and their caregivers," said Shirley. "I realized there is a real need in our community to reach out to sick animals whose caregivers don't have the means to provide them with live-sustaining medical care.
"They can't talk," she said. "They need our help."
Established in 2013, The MacCallum Family Fund for Animal Welfare is an endowed field-of-interest fund. The fund accepts donations from the community to provide in perpetuity resources for sick and suffering animals who require extensive and often expensive medical treatments to prolong their lives.
"I always wanted to do something for animals," said Shirley. "This fund will continue to help them long after I'm gone."
Growing up in the picturesque community of Berlin, New Hampshire, Louis Thibeault thrived in an environment of close family, caring friends and strong community. His childhood was fueled by the rolling hills, winding rivers and cool clean air of the White Mountains. It was a beautiful and friendly place, but as a child growing up in New England, Louis knew that the ice on the pond wasn't always as sturdy as it seemed, a destructive storm could linger behind the billowing clouds of a perfect summer day – that more often than not, the most menacing of troubles are those left unseen
Louis graduated from Merrimack College in North Andover, Mass. and relocated to Torrington, where he lived and worked for 45 years. Over the course of his career, and as he raised his family in Torrington and Goshen, Louis worked for The Torin Corp., First Federal Savings and Loan, and for 12 years, as the general manager of the Torrington Country Club.
"My life was certainly not dramatic in any way, but I had the opportunity to work with some great people in the Torrington community," Louis said. "It was a great place to work, live and bring up my family."
After 45 years, Louis wanted to give something back to the community.
"There are wonderful things in Torrington," he said, "family events, movies, things that children enjoy. It is a wonderful place to live. "But in some homes, there are children whose needs are not always met because of neglect, because their parents don't know what's wrong, orbecause their parents can't afford to help them."
It's something that Louis understood at a young age, witnessing the frustration that his close friend experienced growing up with an unrecognized learning disability. Louis describes his friend as extremely intelligent, but a little different than the other children in grammar school. "He was very creative," said Louis. "He picked up on things quicker than other people, but he struggled in school and eventually lost interest. In some ways, his opportunities were limited because nobody knew he was Dyslexic.
"Many children have great potential and are hindered because they have a hidden deficiency," he said. "They get so far behind that they give up."
Louis chose to reach out to the children of the Northwest Corner by establishing the Louis O. Thibeault Fund for the Advancement of Children's Education. Established in May of 2009, the Fund supports the education of economically disadvantaged children facing unseen obstacles by helping provide health examinations, and when needed, eye-glasses, medical prescriptions as well as human services needs that must be met, so children can focus on education.
"I wanted to do something for the community," said Louis.
Although the Fund has supported several children in the community with different challenges, Louis feels very strongly that every child should be screened for vision problems and that every child who needs glasses
should have them.
"An eyeglass need is probably one of the more insidious infirmities that a child can have," says Louis. "It's more difficult to recognize than broken
teeth or walking disabilities. "If a child doesn't know that he has a stigmatism or myopia or some
other vision deficiency, he doesn't know what he's supposed to be seeing. He just knows that school is harder for him than it is for his peers.
"This is not a huge fund," said Louis. "But if it helps a child, or two, or three, it is well worth it."
In May, early childcare providers from Education Connection, Healthy Families, Family Strides, Children 1st, and The Maria Seymour Brooker Memorial attended training in the use of the Pedia Vision SPOT Vision Screener. The Spot Screener and training in its use was made possible by a grant from the Louis O. Thibeault Fund for the Advancement of Children's Education. Beginning in the Fall of 2014, students attending preschool and early childhood development programs throughout Torrington and Winsted will receive Pedia Vision SPOT Vision Screener eye screenings.
"This is an opportunity to help a great number of children in a preventative and proactive way, to discover abnormalities in kids that can be corrected," says Louis Thibeault, who established the Louis O. Thibeault Fund for the Advancement of Children's Education in 2009 to help children experiencing academic difficulties because of unknown or untreated medical conditions. The SPOT is a handheld, non-invasive vision screener that enables early education providers to bring vision screenings to children. The Spot can quickly detect near-sightedness, far-sightedness, unequal refractive power, blurred vision, eye structure problems, pupil-size deviations, and eye misalignment. When deficiencies are detected, screeners provide a printed report that parents can take to a physician for a follow-up screening and appropriate treatment.
"Early intervention is critically important," said Douglas Zybrands, who provided SPOT training at Education Connection in Litchfield, CT. "Without funding from sources like the Louis O. Thibeault Fund for the Advancement of Children's Education, many of these children would likely go without early vision screenings."
The Litchfield Garden Club established the The Litchfield Garden Club Centennial Fund in honor of the 100th anniversary of the Club's 1913 founding. This endowed charitable fund, established with the Community Foundation, will support projects and programs in the greater Litchfield area in the fields of gardening, horticulture, civic beautification, environmental awareness, and historic preservation.
"The Centennial Fund will enable Litchfield Garden Club members and other donors to accomplish projects of significant benefit to the community," said Drew Harlow, Litchfield Garden Club president.
"The Foundation is honored to partner with an organization whose members exhibit an immense passion and dedication toward the beautification and preservation of the greater Litchfield area," said Guy Rovezzi, Community Foundation president. "The Garden Club is an asset to our community, and I am confident that we will continue to enjoy their achievements well into the next millennium."
One of three children of a homemaker and a factory worker in a close-knit community, Susan Strand always felt a strong impulse to participate in her church, local non-profits and politics.
"My parents were always helping someone," said Susan. "It was the example set by my parents that told me, not just verbally, but by example, that I was supposed to be out there in the community."
The Strands rented a home in Torrington for much of Susan's childhood, Susan's parents, Polly and Wesley, lived in the downstairs, while Wesley's sister "Aunt Agusta" and her husband "Uncle Jim" lived upstairs. Polly Strand was a trained nurse who stopped treating patients when she married but never stopped caring for those around her.
Polly made meals for the Spooner House, a homeless shelter and soup kitchen. She volunteered at My Sister's Place, an organization that provided shelter and life transition support for homeless women and children, many of whom had experienced domestic violence. She drove cancer patients to their treatment appointments. And during election season, and regardless of their politics, she drove those without transportation to the
voting polls.
"My mother was always out there helping other women and women's organizations," said Susan. Wesley worked in a local factory and served as a volunteer firefighter. He often left the dinner table after a long day's work to fight a fire to help save a neighbor's home. With no staff of firefighters, men in the community would listen for the warning horn from the fire box, a system that announced by the number of horn blows where a fire was located.
"The horn would blow, and we would stop whatever we were doing and count the number of blows," said Susan. "If the fire was in our district, dad would run off to help."
After he retired, Wesley often helped members of the church and the community. Almost every day he clipped hedges, mowed lawns and helped with minor home repairs for others.
"Every day, I remember him going out to somebody's house to help them with something," said Susan. When Agusta Holmes became ill with dementia,
Polly cared for her, so James could continue to provide financially. And in turn, in his will, James left Polly and Wesley an inheritance that provided for them, enabling them to purchase a home, and when Polly was ready, the financial resources needed to move into an assisted-living facility.
"My family set a really good example of caring about, not just your family because they were very supportive of family, but also their community," said Susan. "They instilled in me a strong feeling of connection to community."
A successful business woman and community leader, Susan Strand was a founding member of the National Organization of Women Torrington Chapter, a founding mother of the Litchfield County Women's Network, served as Planning and Zoning Commissioner and has been, and continues to be, involved in countless non-profit community-based organizations, including Operation Overflow at the homeless shelter and her local soup kitchen. Polly and Wesley Strand and Uncle Jim have long since passed, but the spirit of their generosity and love for family and community live on as an inspiration to Susan. When Susan received an inheritance from her mother, she knew exactly how she wanted to spend it.
"I wanted to do something that would honor my parents and Uncle Jim for a long period of time," said Susan.
In December 2006, with a single gift, Susan Strand established The Polly and Wesley Strand and James L. Holmes Fund for Programs for Women and Children. Since then, in the spirit of Polly and Wesley Strand and James L. Holmes, the fund has supported educational events in Northwest Connecticut
that work to build a sense of inclusiveness and community.
"While I feel like I'm not giving a huge amount of money, it does have an effect on the community, especially the children who attend the program or even the parents, and the effect is wonderful."
In the aftermath of Superstorm Sandy, many Connecticut residents continue to struggle to recover their livelihoods and to provide nutritious food, safe shelter, transportation, clothing, and medical supplies for their families.
A philanthropic family from Northwest Connecticut, who wishes to remain anonymous, stepped in to help. The family, who established the Community Foundation of Northwest Connecticut's Local Area Fund, advised the Foundation to provide two grants totalling $100,000 to assist individuals and families still struggling to recover from the storm.
The Community Foundation presented the grants to the Community Foundation of Eastern Connecticut that worked with the United Way of Southeastern Connecticut to develop a flexible application process for storm victims to apply for funds.
The Community Foundation distributed 157 gently used laptop computers valued at more than $76,000 to nonprofits in Northwest Connecticut. More than 50 nonprofits responded to the Community Foundation's invitation to apply for the laptops, which were donated to the Foundation anonymously for distribution to nonprofits in Northwest CT.
Nonprofits received one to five laptops based on their needs. The following nonprofit organizations received laptops through the Community Foundation:

There is perhaps nothing as poignant as a blossoming friendship plucked from your grasp before it can reach the beauty of its potential. But at the Community Foundation, this is exactly how we felt when we learned of the sudden death of our board member Khurshed Bhumgara on October 20th 2014.
He was more than a trusted advisor, a dedicated volunteer, confidant, advocate, colleague and friend.
"Khurshed had a rare ability to unite those he worked with. He would listen attentively to a variety of viewpoints, identify common ground among them and quickly build consensus. It was a remarkable talent, one of many for which we will remember him fondly," said Tom Bechtle, Chairman of the Community Foundation's Board of Directors.
Born and educated in London, England, Khurshed graduated with a business degree from Rutgers University and a law degree from Columbia University. An attorney by profession, Khurshed retired in 2002 from a successful career in capital and real estate development. He settled in Sharon, Conn. with his wife, Evelyn, and began what was to become a long list of volunteer accomplishments that both defined who he was and the standard of conduct he expected of himself and others.
Some of these accomplishments include serving as the president of The Little Guild of Saint Francis for the Welfare of Animals and on the board of the Hotchkiss Library of Sharon, where Khurshed was instrumental in the Library's expansion and helped to generate nearly $75,000 in sales as co-manager of the library's art shows and events.
Khurshed was a vital member of the Sharon Land Trust, the Town of Sharon's Conservation Commission, the Sharon Web Site Committee and the Sharon Energy & Environment Commission.
Lawrence Powers, president of the Sharon Land Trust remarked: "Khurshed was a gentleman with keen intelligence, great judgment and a deep dedication to public service. For the Sharon Land Trust, he was our Treasurer and a key player in our successes over the years. Above all, Khurshed was a good friend to all who knew him. He will be greatly missed."
Khurshed also served on the Board of Directors of the Community Foundation for three years. As the chair of the Foundation's Governance Committee, he spent countless hours ensuring that the Foundation's policies and procedures embody its fiduciary obligations and model exemplary practices for other nonprofits to emulate.
"Khurshed believed in what the Community Foundation is doing," said Community Foundation board member Attorney Douglas O'Connell. "He believed that we are making a difference in Northwest Connecticut, and he wanted to support those efforts."
Established in 2008 as an open and flexible community resource, the Northwest Connecticut Philanthropy Fund was created as an easy and cost effective way for the general public to be a part of the local philanthropic experience. The Fund provides a platform for making the charitable wishes of local citizens come true.
The Community Foundation encourages gifts of any size to the Fund from individuals, families and businesses. Many gifts are in honor or in memory of a loved one. Often, Northwest Connecticut Philanthropy Fund contributors use this as an attractive alternative to creating a permanent named fund and may use it to remain anonymous. Their gifts are pooled with others to support vital needs that are personal, unique and local.
Amazingly, the Fund has received contributions from more than 70 donors to date and provided more than $65,000 in support of local causes.
"The concept of pooling charitable resources is the cornerstone of community foundation work and the Northwest Connecticut Philanthropy Fund is one of the best examples of how powerful this concept can be," said Community Foundation President Guy Rovezzi.
The Fund is unrestricted, which means that donors to the Fund can suggest the charitable purposes to which their gifts are applied, and the amounts distributed are not limited to earnings or appreciation as they would be with an endowed fund. In many cases, the entire gift is put to work within months as a grant to a local charity with a specific purpose or program. Grants from the Fund receive the same care and due diligence as any other grant made from the Foundation.
An anonymous donor to the Fund perhaps said it best. "I trust the Community Foundation leadership to deploy my charitable gifts to worthy organizations, like Covenant to Care, whose moral imperative is to convert critical support into immediate results."
Providing Safe Warm Beds
Covenant to Care, a nonprofit that assists children experiencing neglect, abuse and poverty, contacted the Community Foundation with a request for beds for children living in poverty in our Northwest Corner. With support from the Fund, the children were provided with clean, warm and safe beds.
Inspiring Innovation and the Arts
In 2013, the Northwest Regional High School Robotics Team built a robot that earned them the Rookie All-Star Award at the Hartford Regional FIRST Robotics Competition. The Fund supported the team in its purchase of a covered trailer that protects their robot from the elements and enables students to wheel it into the trailer for safe transport.
The Fund has supported scholarships for children to attend classes and workshops with the Falls Village Children's Theater Company and supported children's arts and culture programming at the Scoville Memorial Library in Salisbury.
Protecting Our Rivers
In 2014, the Northwest Connecticut Philanthropy Fund, in memory of Robin Connor, supplemented a grant from the Eva M. Coty Fund to support the Farmington River Watershed Association in its efforts to work with students from Northwest Connecticut Community College to detain polluted water through the installation of landscaping features before it pours into the Farmington River.
"Stormwater runoff stewardship projects go hand-hand with stormwater education programs," said Eileen Fielding, Farmington River Watershed Association Executive Director.
Gifts to the Northwest Connecticut Philanthropy Fund have come from all communities represented by the Foundation's service area. Grants are made at the discretion of the Foundation Board and no grant from the Fund is less than $250.
Donors Support Causes, Community
The Harriet F. Dickenson Foundation gave to the Fund to support programs and services that benefit residents of Cornwall, Conn.
Barron Financial Group has provided an unrestricted gift to the communities of Northwest Conn. in honor of its clients for four consecutive years.
The Bono Family Fund of the Fairfield Community Foundation made a gift to support Hope and Love Option of Bethlehem, Conn.
Margaret D. Reventlow provided for an unrestricted gift to support the communities of the Northwest Corner through the Margaret D. Reventlow Charitable Remainder Trust.
An anonymous donor family provided a generous gift in support of local children's causes. Maria and David Mazzarelli gave an unrestricted gift to support the communities of Northwest Conn.
The Fund has served as a home for contributions to honor the lives of beloved family members: Lawrence Cianciolo, Robin Connor, Thomas LaPorta, Richard DiChillo Jr., Grace Banelli, Rita Toce, and Margaret Mazzarelli to name a few.
"All contributions to funds of the Community Foundation are powerful catalysts for good in their support of specific nonprofits and fields of interests," said Rovezzi. "Unrestricted giving, such as to the Northwest Connecticut Philanthropy Fund, provides for unlimited potential and enables flexibility to provide support and fuel improvements for needs within our Northwest corner now, and far into the future whenever and wherever they are needed."
As the Fund grows, so will the impact it has on the vast array of needs presented by our communities.
None of this would be possible without the gracious benevolence of people like you. Please consider making a gift or including the Northwest Connecticut Philanthropy Fund in your estate plan. For more information contact Bradford Hoar, Vice President of Philanthropic Services at firstname.lastname@example.com.
For years, Sandy Slemmer of Winsted enjoyed a career as a scientific researcher and later an information technology professional. She worked in programming and database management for several large corporations in New Jersey and Westchester County, New York. The work was creative and satisfying, but there was something missing. Sandy felt a daily pull toward the natural environment beyond the walls of the corporate park.
"I found that I kept looking out of the window," said Sandy. "If I was in a conference room, I'd position myself so I could look out the window; I just wanted to be outside."
When she could, Sandy and her husband, David, explored the Appalachian Trail in Kent, Great Mountain Forest in Falls Village, and the Housatonic River, and the surrounding areas. The two began to bicycle on the trails. They found new places, and began exploring the river with kayaks.
"It was quiet and peaceful," said Sandy. "And, we discovered places, environments, country roads that we wouldn't have visited in a car. "When people feel stress, the ability to go for a hike or find a quiet spot makes a difference," she said. "People need natural areas. Maybe it's just a fishing pond, but taking the time to go out and go fishing or hiking—it's important."
Eventually, Sandy answered the call of the wild, leaving her corporate office. She completed a master's degree in environmental sciences at Western Connecticut State University and joined Sharon Audubon as a volunteer in the aviary.
At the Sharon Audubon, Sandy helps rehabilitate raptors, a job she says is most intense in the summer when the aviary is full of babies in need of attention. She also works on the organization's stewardship board and volunteers for events. A volunteer for more than 16 years now, Sandy has cared for thousands of birds. Some remain at the Audubon for educational reasons, but most are rehabilitated and released into the wild.
In May of 2007, Sandy and David Slemmer established The Elson-Slemmer Fund for the Environment. The Fund has supported the Sharon Audubon in the construction of new aviaries, supported technology upgrades to the weather station and internship program at Great Mountain Forest in Falls Village, and supported the Housatonic Valley Association in the development of trail maps for towns along the Housatonic River.
"Organizations that work to protect the natural environment and the wildlife require a lot of money and resources," said Sandy. "If the Fund can help an organization by supporting an educational program or in another way, I'm all for that.
"Everything relies on something else, even at the soil level—the rocks that make up the soil, the insects and the nematodes. Without them, we wouldn't have the plants and the animals that feed off of the plants. If we don't preserve our natural resources, we, ourselves, will be affected.
"Everything is connected, and we need that connection–to understand the importance of what we have out here–to protect it."

The Litchfield Community Center has served as a hub of Litchfield since it opened its doors in 2000. The Community Center offers constant and innumerable activities that bring the community together, including movies, fitness, arts classes and a teen center. Some of the most popular events at the Community Center are the music events inspired by former Litchfield resident Daniel North.
In the late 1990s, Mr. North was a frequent participant in music programs held at the Bantam Inn. After his wife's death, he and his friends would gather at the Inn on Sunday afternoons for jazz, swing and dixieland programs. Soon, Mr. North was hosting music sessions.
"It gave him a chance to overcome a lot of sadness after his wife died," said Berta Andrulis Mette, Litchfield Community Center Executive Director.
The music programs continued to grow, and when the Community Center was built in 2000, Mr. North wanted to use the opportunity to make music available to more people in the community. In 2002, he established the Litchfield Community Center Music Fund to support various music programs at the Community Center.
"With the opening of the Community Center, more people could come and enjoy music together," said Berta. "Dan wanted to be a part of making that happen.
"He gave us freedom in our program choices, knowing that people like all kinds of different music. We've continued dixieland, swing, rock, bluegrass, classical, everything really."
Mr. North passed away in 2008, but the Litchfield Community Center Music Fund continues to support programs that bring the community together. In 2015, the Fund supported youth and teen programs: DJ Music, Red Hot Chili Slam & Bands, Friday Feast & Dancing Feat, Enzo Boscarino Serenade, and Irish Music & Coffee House.
After 15 successful years of bringing the community together through events and programs, the Community Center began looking toward long-term financial planning. Staff started to notice that children who had attended programs at the Community Center were returning as teenagers and young adults.
"Kids who were here when they were teenagers are now in their late 20s and early 30s," said Berta. "Their kids are coming back for programming. This is what we hoped for."
Community Center board members and staff wanted to establish a fund that could be used for unplanned circumstances or big expenses beyond the yearly budget, a fund that would ensure that the Community Center would be bringing the Community together forever.
In 2014, the Community Center established the Litchfield Community Center Reserve Fund.
"Our hopes are to let it grow and encourage people to contribute," said Berta. "The Fund provides security. There's no doubt that for our organization and the Community Foundation, we're on a parallel path of serving Northwest Connecticut in perpetuity.
"We know we can continue to serve as a hub of Litchfield, a place where the community comes together, as our town changes, as our area changes, as our state changes, as our world changes."
"The Center is an incredible resource for people of all ages, as well as organizations and businesses, throughout the Northwest Corner and beyond. It is reassuring knowing we can continue to be a hub where the community comes together. We intend to do our best to meet the needs and interests of those we serve."
Local author Mary Elizabeth "Betty" Rivera enjoyed many years working as an administrative assistant at the Anaconda American Brass Company, but writing and volunteering in her community were her passions.
A life-long resident of Torrington, Betty grew up in a home on Taylor Street with her brother, Ted, and her sister, Catherine. Close siblings, the three lived together throughout their adult lives in a home on Cook Street. Ted worked for many years at the Torrington Company. Catherine worked for Western Union. The three frequented antique shows and co-authored articles about antiques. Ted and Betty co-authored "Inkstands and Inkwells, a Collector's Guide," published by Crown.
Betty published many articles in magazines, including Architectural Digest, Better Homes and Gardens, and Country Living, and in newspapers, including The New York Times and The Washington Post. Betty's poetry was published in many religious, literary and poetry magazines, and her children's stories and poems were published in numerous popular children's magazines.
Betty was a member of the Torrington Historical Society, the Torrington Historical Preservation Program, the Charlotte Hungerford Hospital Auxiliary, the Connecticut ARCO Retirees, the University of Connecticut Litchfield County Writer's Project, and the Quota Club. She was a past President of the Torrconn Woman's Club and the Torrington Council of Catholic Women.
"Torrington was their life," said Susan Yost, a second cousin and close friend. "They were passionate about art and music."
In 1995, Ted passed away, leaving his estate to Betty and Catherine. And, in early 2014, Catherine passed away, leaving the remainder of her estate and her half of Ted's estate to Betty.
In the Spring of 2014, Mary Elizabeth "Betty" Rivera passed away, but she left a legacy that continues her creative life's work and honors her brother and sister. Through bequest language in her will, Ms. Rivera established The Rivera Family Fund for Arts and Music, an endowed scholarship fund that will support art and music students in the Northwest Corner forever.
When Emil "Moe" Renzullo Jr. was five years old, he bounded out of Emil and Colleen Renzullo's car for his first day of summer camp at Camp LARC. After having spent the first five years of his life in and out of Connecticut Children's Medical Center recovering from surgeries to treat a series of intestinal medical issues, Moe was a happy and boisterous little boy ready to have some fun.
Moe attended summer camp through the Litchfield Arc (LARC) for two weeks that year. Although his parents, Emil and Colleen Renzullo, were apprehensive about sending him to summer camp, every day when he came home, happy, tired and dirty, Moe would ask, "When can I go back to my camp?" From that summer on, Moe attended Camp LARC all eight weeks of the summer: swimming, skateboarding, and more often than not, leading campers in their morning cheer.
"Moe was known for his enthusiasm, love and caring ways," said Katherine Marchand-Beyer, Camp MOE Director and LARC Director of Community Support.
After seven years of good health and happy summers with his friends, Moe was diagnosed with leukemia. He was admitted to the Connecticut Children's Medical Center for treatment. Eight weeks later, Moe was gone.
"Emil [Moe] was a bright light," said Emil Renzullo Senior, "…always happy, always smiling. He had an amazing ability to draw people together, to make friends, anywhere with anyone."
Moe passed away at the age of 12, but his light spread through the Northwest Corner bringing together parents, teachers, camp counselors, friends and family who wanted to honor his life. Cycling enthusiasts scheduled a cycling fundraiser, which quickly became a bike, run, and walk fundraiser as community members were drawn to the event and its goal—to raise money to send kids to Moe's favorite place, Camp LARC.
That first year, in just a few months, the community raised more than $25,000 for camperships for Camp LARC. Emil and Colleen quickly worked with Community Foundation staff to establish the Miles for Moe Fund.
Simultaneously, LARC launched the first independent reverse-integrated summer camp in New England. To honor Moe and the community that loved him, LARC named its new summer camp Camp MOE.
"Moe always called Camp LARC 'my camp,'" said Emil Renzullo. "Now you see signs all over town for Camp MOE. It really is his camp."
Camp MOE has grown from 50 campers to hundreds of campers each summer. The Miles for Moe Fund continues to grow as well. Established as a donor-advised fund, the Fund continues to support camperships at Camp MOE, as well as other causes affecting children in the Northwest Corner.
Emil, Colleen, and a slew of volunteers manage the annual fundraisers, including the Harvest Fest 5k, held in September, for the Fund that has provided $80,500 in camperships. Grants from the Fund also have supported parents of children being treated for cancer at Connecticut Children's Medical Center, purchased thermometers for the Medical Center's treatment rooms, and supported the purchase of toys for children having medical procedures at Charlotte Hungerford Hospital.
"The Miles for Moe Fund has become what it is because of the Community Foundation," said Emil Renzullo. "Anytime we had an idea or a question, staff was there to help.
"Life is short, and it's about experiences. I want to raise as much money as possible, to make this one of the biggest funds at the Community Foundation — to help as many children as I can."
Edward Diskavich lived a quiet life in a small home on Beverly Rd. in Torrington. He enjoyed a long life, passing away at the age of 94. A financially successful man, he enjoyed living modestly, and managing his investments. But his greatest achievement, his legacy, was his investment in the future of
Northwest Connecticut. Through his estate planning, Mr. Diskavich donated his body to Yale School of Medicine for research and education. His estate, he gave to the future of the Northwest Corner by establishing two endowed funds with the Community Foundation, a scholarship fund and a discretionary fund.
The Edward W. Diskavich Scholarship Fund provides annual scholarships to graduates of Oliver Wolcott Technical High School. In 2016-2017, the Fund awarded $11,750 to 20 Northwest Corner students pursuing college degrees in fields including mechanical engineering, biomedical sciences, and education.
The Edward W. Diskavich Fund provides grants annually to nonprofits in the Northwest Corner. Grants from the Fund will support Northwest Corner nonprofits indefinitely. In 2017, the Fund supported the Winsted Senior Center and Senior Enrichment Program in its efforts to make the senior center a more welcoming, comfortable, and safe place.
Gladys Fingar of Torrington worked in housekeeping for many years at Highland Acres, a nursing home in Winsted. She enjoyed flower gardening and sewing, including making all of her own work smocks, but Gladys was most known for her enthusiastic kindness for others, evident through her many gifts to charitable organizations and her love of animals.
Gladys gave to the Calvary Baptist Church, Connecticut Children's Medical Center, LARC, The Little Guild of St. Francis, and the North Shore Animal League. She especially loved the holidays as evidenced through her collection of festive sweaters and her holiday baking. Every Christmas for years she would collect the wish lists of the residents of the Southbury Training School, sometimes 20 or 30 residents, and purchase every item on their lists. When the Make-A-Wish Foundation was seeking donors to help send a local boy on a trip to Florida, her only question was, "how much do you need?" She then paid for the whole trip.
"Gladys was very generous," said Sheryl Undari, a close friend of more than 30 years. "She loved to help people. She loved to make people happy."
Gladys could not pass up a bargain. She enjoyed shopping and would often purchase gifts for her friends and neighbors that she would leave on their doorsteps, ringing the doorbell and running away.
Neighbors and friends were not the only recipients of Gladys' generous spirit. She adopted numerous stray cats and dogs, sometimes delivering them to The Little Guild of St. Francis, often taking them to her home and caring for them. "Gladys never met a stray animal she didn't love," said Sheryl. "She even went to the cemetery weekly to feed the squirrels."
Gladys passed away in the Fall of 2015, but her care for others and her love of animals continues. In true form, she left surprise gifts to the people and animals of the Northwest Corner. Through her estate planning, Gladys made gifts to the Northwest Connecticut Philanthropy Fund for the purpose of supporting holiday-related grants in the Northwest Corner and to the Critter Fund, a fund that assists with shelter, rescue, and adoption, training,
prevention of cruelty, spaying and neutering, elderly companionship, services for disabled individuals and wildlife preservation.
Described as a gift to our communities, a shepherd of kindness, and a symphony of love, the Northwest Corner recently said goodbye to Roberta Lee August. Roberta passed away in the summer of 2016, leaving behind a community grateful for her life and so much better for her stewardship. "Roberta knew what mattered in life and lived life to the fullest, sharing her talents, time and treasures," said JoAnn Ryan," president and CEO of Northwest Connecticut's Chamber of Commerce. Roberta was often teased about her boundless enthusiasm and seemingly endless care for others.
Her many friends joked that she worked just as hard or harder in retirement than she had in her career as a banker. This certainly rings true of her dedication to the Northwest Connecticut Community Foundation. Roberta played a vital role in the success of the Community Foundation. She was a founding volunteer. In the early years, before the community foundation had staff members, Roberta worked as a banking trust officer, shepherding the Community Foundation's modest initial resources. For years, she acted as liason between the bank and the Community Foundation. As the Community Foundation grew, Roberta volunteered her time, talents, and resources wherever and whenever they were needed. For more than four decades, she dedicated herself to the Community Foundation, serving as board of directors recording secretary, member of the governance and scholarship committees and Community Foundation ambassador, as well as a trustee to the John T. and Jane A. Wiederhold Foundation.
Roberta's love of community, loyalty and generosity did not end with the Community Foundation. She volunteered and served on the boards of countless nonprofits serving the Northwest Corner. In addition to playing key roles in the success of programs to improve lives and strengthen communities, Roberta volunteered as conservator for many elderly and mentally ill community members. Over the decades, Roberta's dedication was recognized in many ways. She was named a Paul Harris Fellow by the Rotary. She was awarded the YMCA Legacy Award, the Wisdom House Award and the Northwest Connecticut Chamber Community Leader Award. Prime Time House named a building in her honor, and Cazenovia College awarded her an honorary doctorate in the humanities.
"Roberta considered all of us her family–community members, nonprofit staff and volunteers and those who benefited from their work–and Roberta loved her family," said Guy Rovezzi, Northwest Connecticut Community Foundation president. "Our community has lost one of its finest," said JoAnn Ryan, "but the legacy of Roberta's life–loyalty to a fault, generosity that knew no bounds, deep and sincere concern and unconditional love and compassion for others, courage, optimism and grace–remains in our hearts as we honor her life by continuing to steward the many causes she championed."
In 1998, with donations from herself and 20 community members, Roberta Lee August established the Roberta Lee August Fund to support literacy and mental health initiatives in the Northwest Corner. Since its establishment, the fund has supported: book giveaways to Winchester elementary school students; the enhancement of an electronic health record system for the Torrington Family Service Center; the purchase of literacy tools and educational materials for children ages 2 through 7 years, as part of the Family Literacy Center at Forbes Elementary School; the Prime Time Houses WISH Progam and the Rural Mental Health Initiative.
An endowed field-of-interest fund, the Roberta Lee August Fund indefinitely supports programs that serve mental health initiatives and increase literacy in the Northwest Corner, two causes Roberta spent much of the last 40 years championing.

Bentley Family is Large and Loyal Letcher ClanBy ? Kiser
Mrs. Jane Baker, Millstone, who is very ill in the Whitesburg hospital: Mrs. Laura Bentley, of South Shore Ky., and Mr Bentley. Otho's firs wife was Sadie Collier, daughter of the late Willis And Mary Adams Collier. Mary was a sister of the late B E Adams, father of the late G Bennett Adams. Otho and Sadie had six children, five still living. They are Mrs Stella Salyers of Cincinnati, Stella first married Glenn Green, who died several years ago.
Then she married Oscar Salyers. Willie W. D. Bentley, who married Edna Bentley, daughter of Sherman Bentley and granddaughter of the late Uncle Riley Bentley. They live on Millstone. Laura married John Stallard, grandson of the late Aunt Sillar Hall. The Stallards now live in Florida. Atha married James Caudill, the present county judge of Letcher County, Nettie first married Wesley Halcomb, who died many years ago, and then she married Willie Taylor.
The Taylors now live in Winchester, Ohio. After the death of his first wife, Otho married Nancy Alice Hall, daughter of Elder Joe and Lettie Craft Hall. Lettie was the daughter of Uncle Chunk and Polly Ann Caudill Craft. They had 15 children. Lettie married Dr Can Bentley, and lives at Freeburn, Ky.; Sabrina married Curwood Blair, and they live in Detroit; Lake married Elder C. B. Berry Pass, and they live at Millstone; Opal Bentley died in her early teens; Coral married J. D. Mullins, and they live in Dayton, Ohio; Wilma married Jimmy Cole, and they live in Charlestown, Indiana.
Joe Bentley married Alma from Massachusetts; D. V. married Mary Evelyn McElroy, and they live on Millstone; John Vent married Shirley Stallard and they live on Millstone; Anna Sue married Roy Karo Bentley, and they live at Neon; Otho Jr., married Millie Bentley. He is in the Navy and is stationed at Norfolk, Va.; Can and Jimmy Bentley are the twins. Can married Ernestine Hall and they live in Cleveland; Jimmy is unmarried, is in the army and is stationed in Germany; Freddy married Gracie Burrows and they live with and will care for his parents until Jimmy returns from Germany; Jerry, the youngest is in the Army at Fort Benning, Ga.
With the exception of a year or so the Bentleys have always lived on Millstone. For a short while they lived above Hemphill, and then moved back to Millstone. They owned the home above the Elizabeth Church now owned by Elder Lawson Hall. They moved into their present home some 20 years ago.
This large family, scattered in many places, still has strong ties with each other and with the parents on Millstone. The family consists of 19 living children, 142 grandchildren, a total of 171 living descendants. They are fine folk, those that I know, and I know most of them.
Mrs. Bentley is one of the finest cooks I know, and they almost never eat alone - there is always lots of company.
The Otho Bentleys are deacon and deaconess in the Regular Baptist Church, and they are faithful to attend church, even in the later years when their health is failing. And they have always fed hundreds of visitors to the church. Mr. Bentley is a diabetic and Mrs. Bentley is not as robust as one she was. But the latch is always on the outside, and everyone is welcome in this home and everyone enjoys visiting there.

There is a 24, 48, and 72-hour pass, which covers the Tokyo Metro and Toei Subway lines that cover over 200 stations throughout the city. This is effectively a Tokyo Tourist Pass, as a foreign passport is required to purchase it. This pass is like an all-access subway pass for the NYC subway, Toronto TTC, and (hypothetically) London's Tube. This pass covers Tokyo's subway lines, but not the JR Trains.
