What to do? What to do? What to do?Dear Trump Supporters
I’m confused, please help. Most recent terrorists have been Muslims, so we shouldn’t allow any Muslims into the USA, right? And we’d better keep a close eye on those Mosques, right? But Bernie Madoff, who wrecked millions of lives, Karl Marx, father of Communism, and many Las Vegas gangsters were Jews so we better stop the Jew from immigrating. Break off relations with Israel and keep a close eye on those Synogogues, right?
Come to think of it, the Mafi a are all Ialians as far as I know, whoops, there goes Italian immigration, better throw in the Vatican, and just what goes on in those so called Italian American Clubs.
Oh my gosh, all of the presidential assasins as well as our own home-grown American serial killers have been white Christian males.
What to do? What to do? What to do?Sincerely, Peter Rothenberg

State Representative Vincent CandeloraKeeping Our Children Safe
Our children’s lives are much different than they were 30, 20 or even 10 years ago. With the use of smart phones, their worlds are opened up and kids are exposed to so much more information at a young age. This can be good and bad. As the school year begins,
I believe it is important to have dialogue with our children about internet safety and proper use of smart phones.
In Harford, we constantly are looking at the impacts of new technology on students’ lives. The legislature passed a law, which I cosponsored, dealing with student data privacy. As schools contract with third party vendors, such as bus companies, Powerschool and FamilyID, we need to make sure that the information gathered by these vendors are kept secure and not shared or sold to other companies for marketing or some other non-educational purpose. These protections, however, effectively can be undone if students are sharing sensitive information on the internet. My son reminded me about this fact when he jumped on the internet to register for high school soccer and pay the new fee. He readily began providing the information on-line without knowing where it was going and how it was being collected. Because it was a school or “academic” function, he quickly trusted the database. It was then I real-ized how overly comfortable the younger generations are with the internet. Every post on social media, every registration form, and every trivial survey on your interests or what animal you’re most like, is collected and stored somewhere. All of this information creates a digital profile, and as a state representative, I can sponsor laws to try and protect us all from abuse of this technology, but ultimately we need to begin protecting ourselves at home.
When children are using social media by posting pictures and remarks, they are creating a digital footprint that will follow them for the rest of their life. Images or remarks that are made at the age of twelve can impact a person’s future college, scholarship or job prospects. Whether its fair or not, students need to understand the impact of the world wide web and parents must set the ground rules to keep them safe. Here are some safety tips for parents: learn how to use the technology, cell phones, gaming consoles and comput-ers; set up ground rules for your children; keep computers in common areas and set appropriate parental controls on them; check the “history” on your computers and know what programs your child is using and who your child has “friended” on any programs. Go through your child’s friends list and talk about why each one is part of their social media network. A child needs to understand that if you would not let a person into your home or would not share personal information with them, then they should not be “friending” them on a social media website. Be sure to turn off your child’s location track-ing. Otherwise photographs that are uploaded to the internet can be tracked to the exact location those pictures were taken.
So many social issues can come out of the internet. If adults can be mean and bully on Facebook, it’s hard to imagine what can occur between students. These concerns are growing. Even Boy Scouts has begun an annual manda-tory program called Cyber Chip for scouts to learn about internet protocols. Another great resource is http://internetsafetyconcepts.com or you can review for purchase http://www.ruindanger.net.
As school begins, please have dialogue with your children on safe use of the internet and cyber bullying. We can try our best to protect your children through legislation in Hartford, but students need to ultimately be armed to protect themselves.

Let’s Be “Frank”Well brother, it’s been a hectic month on the home front. There’s been one
special celebration after another on the cousin front. A fiftieth wedding an-niversary, a seventieth birthday and a sixty fifth birthday. Just yesterday we were all playing basketball in the driveway, wiffle ball in the back yard and football on the No Name Street at Aunt Tess’s house. Now we are playing board games, old time tunes on something called CD’s and Pandora and the No Name Street has a name. When the hell did it all change?
As you know, the back has been giving me trouble for quite some time. Before you and the rest of the readers jump all over this one, I know, “lose the front and the back problems will go with it”. You use to tell the doctor, I know I’m fat and I have failed to change that in thirty years so let’s go to the next plan. Well the nine Motrin a day with a switch to Alleve just weren’t getting the job done. I decided to think about my 100 (or so) year old writer Mr. Eliason and some of his natural remedies. I went on line and decided ginger root capsules might be the answer. Although the back is not perfect (I am still morbidly obese) to use the doctor’s terminology the pain has lessened greatly. Numbness is going away and I can get up without needing to hold onto something. I can even shave while standing up and walk around. I am now going to cinnamon and as the combination of the two is suppose to help lower blood pressure and sugar. I’ll keep you informed.
I recently had a friend send me a column you wrote for an online newspaper in Hamden. After reading it, I realized how similar our writing styles are. I am going to google some more and down the line I might run some in this paper. Maybe the readers can finally meet you and get a better understanding our relationship. They might also see where my sick sense of humor comes from and they will stop suggesting that I change the last line of my column.
Town wise, businesses are suffering with this terrible heat and humidity we are getting hit with. Some have mentioned getting visits from members of the Economic Development Commission. They seem to be guardedly optimistic about results. Many businesses are asking me why they haven’t seen anything in the Totoket Times about what they are doing. That answer is simple. I have reached out several times even asking them to come on my
show but my requests have not been accepted. I have had the Shoreline Chamber of Commerce representatives on my show and I will do any-thing (within reason), they ask to help the busi-ness community.
Finally, the Yankees are going with the youth movement and they are more interesting to watch than in recent times.Between them and the Little League World Se-ries, watching baseball is fun once more.
Well, we’ll talk again and I’ll see you soon.

PLANNING FOR THE FUTUREBy Attorney Marc P. Guertin
Repritned from a pevious issue. A lot of my clients are very concerned with avoiding probate. Many
people believe that as long as they have a valid Will, they can avoid Pro-bate. This is exactly the opposite of what actually happens when you die with a Will.
A Will is often called “a ticket to Probate.” If you really want to avoid the time, expense and public nature of the Probate process, a Will always falls short of the mark.
Many people look to Revocable Living Trusts to avoid probate. Probate is the process of removing a decedents name from property and assets that person owned when they were alive. So, it follows that if your name is not on any property or assets when you die- there is no need for probate. Revocable Living Trusts help people to do just that.
A Revocable Living Trust acts as a legal container that holds property for the benefit of the beneficiary of the Trust, who is usually a person, an institution or a charity. Trusts are legal agreements between three differ-ent parties: The Grantor (sometimes called a Trustmaker or Settlor) who establishes the Trust, the Trustee who administrates the Trust, and the ben-eficiary, who receives some sort of benefit (usually income) from the Trust.
Imagine a Revocable Living Trust as an “open box.” You can put assets into the box and you can take assets out of the box. You can manage the assets in the box or appoint someone else to do that for you. You have total control- just as you would if you owned the assets outright (outside of the trust). Assets owned by the Trust (most likely managed by you for your benefit) will not have to be probated when you die- because you don’t own them- the Trust does.
Revocable Living Trusts are a great method of avoiding probate and the costs, lack of privacy and time associated with probating an estate. By using a Revocable Living Trust you can put your assets into your benefi-ciary’s hands in days instead of months, minimize the cost of transferring the assets, and do so privately.
If you would like to learn more about how Revocable Living Trusts work to avoid probate, and minimize estate taxes, please call my office at 203-234-7400 to set up a complementary estate planning appointment.
If you have estate planning questions that you would like answered in this column, email me at [email protected].

are in this photo of Jerome Harrison Elementary School
WIT & WISDOMReprinted from a previous issue.The recent threatened invasion of the gypsy moth that caused much
concern and brought back memories of the miles of leafless trees in the 80ties, which brought back memories of my year in the 20ties and a similar devastation by the Tent Caterpillar. While probable most of you have seen an occasional Tent Caterpillar hanging in a tree an invasion of more than a few here and there are a rare occasion and raises no concern.
I remember as a child seeing an invasion of Tent Caterpillars. While not as completely devastating as the Gypsy Moth, but nearly so, they made a not to be forgotten, memories of seeing what seemed to be trees virtually covered with tents as one rode thru the countryside. Remember this was years before the age of pesticides and caused much concern as to the survival of our trees.
Those having commercial fruit growing operations, as did my parents, went through the trees gathering the tents on their first ap-pearance and removed them into bags and burned them. The other trees were left to their fate, but someone came up with an idea that proved an amazing success. The eggs of the Tent Caterpillar were encapsulated in hard scabs, my best description, on the smaller limbs and easily recognized.
Someone came up with the idea of having the school children gather these egg clusters, bring them to school, where each child’s har-vest was counted and the one whose collection was the most fruitful was rewarded with some simple award. With every boy carrying a pocket knife it was a simple operation to scrape the cluster off or if need be, cut the sector of the branch involved. So fascinated were we all with this opportunity to help nature and save our trees it became more important to get out of school than studying and we couldn’t wait for the dismissal bell. With every child wandering far and wide gathering their clusters it must have worked for the Tent Cat-erpillar infestation soon died and since has never been a concern. Of course the advent of insecticide and pesticide spraying had much to do with that.
How much more exciting was my one mile walk home, scanning each tree on the way, than today’s chlldren’s cooped in a crowded school bus.
My recent articles on spraying with Potassium Carbonate {baking power)and fertilizing with Sea 90 minerals and bagging fruit in the Farm Show pub-lication, probably the most widely circulated Farm Journal published in the hundreds of thousands, resulted in calls from as far away as Ontario, Canada,
Illinois, Pennsylvania. Even a fellow in Bay-side, Long Island wants to ride up to meet me. I told him he had better call first less my ashes are all he will see.
With Farm Show a misnomer, since there is information pertinent to every sector of our society, even you, I hope to do an article on it that will prove help-ful to all of you .Alton Eliason

Burial & Memorial Service forRoberta K. Perkins
On March 27th, 2015 Roberta K. Perkins died of sudden heart failure, a week after what would have been the 50th birthday of her beloved daugh-ter. As one of the first 12 families to live in the new neighborhood on Walnut Lane in Northford, she lived in the house built for her from 1964-2014, and was a registered nurse caring for the elderly for most of those same 50 years. She had an MS in Gerentology and intended to start her own nursing home when diabetes and Alzheimer’s claimed the last 9 years of her life.
She was loving, kind, and generous. She never judged, and never gave up on anyone. She unfailingly found a way to set people at ease and was the grand central for all family matters for 40 years. Everyone loved her and wished her well, and there is no better epitaph.
She was 78 years old, and is survived by her only living child, Charles, who hopes someday to live up to her example.
The burial, on September 11th, 2016 at 10 am ET, is intended for fam-ily and intimate friends only. Contact Charles at [email protected] for details.
The memorial service, also on 9/11, is at 6 pm ET and is open to the public. Contact Charles about speaking, or the funeral home at: [email protected] for the location, driving directions, etc.

WHICH GODDESS IS GUIDING YOU? Guilford psychotherapist, Liane Escher, MSW, will speak about her up-
coming book, A Mythic Sisterhood: The Goddess Way to Courage, Clarity and Grace at the Atwater Memorial Library on Tues., Sept. 13 at 7:00 p.m.
“As a psychotherapist in Guilford, I see many women in transition whose lives are in bits and pieces.” To bring some clarity to more women, she wrote about the 7 Greek goddesses who initiate our life phases – enhanc-ing our possibilities and creating more choices. “Women love to reinvent themselves”. Using the archetypes of 7 Greek goddesses as insight tools, she will explore how these dominant forces enter our lives through chaos, then mentor us into new aspects of personal power; deepening each life stage with an eye toward future possibilities. Some topics Ms. Escher will share from her up-coming book:
