The Rotary Club of
Haddam-Killingworth
S e rv i c e A b o v e S e l f
There’s a new club in town! The Rotary
Club of Haddam-Killingworth was chartered
by Rotary International just two days after
the First Annual Indian Fiesta Fundraiser
held at Parmelee Farm on June 28th.
The journey began on January 20th when
four Clinton Rotarians, two from Killingworth
and two from Madison, held an informal
meet and greet at the Killingworth Public
Library. Rotary District Leaders Mukund Nori,
Rick Bassett and Rupi Rupwani shared their
experiences about Rotary International
projects such as Polio Plus, Shelterbox
and Rotary Peace Fellows. Presidents and
members from other local clubs spoke
with potential members about AMBER
Alert, Warm the Children and food drives.
Despite the cold, there was a large turnout
and by the end of the evening the four had
become eleven.
Now eleven members strong, the Provisional Haddam-Killingworth Rotary Club

The Back Story on Good Health
By Dr. Keith Mirante
Health is undoubtedly one’s
greatest asset; unfortunately many
perceive health as simply “feeling
good”. If that were indeed true, one
would be healthy until a symptom
is felt.
In 1946, the World Health
Organization gave an official definition to health: “Health is a state of
complete physical, mental, and social
well-being and not merely the
absence of disease or infirmity.”
Each and every function of the
body originates from the brain.
It sends messages on how to heal and
function down the spinal cord, over
nerves, and to every single organ and tissue in the body.
The spine is made up of 24 moveable vertebrae surrounding and protecting the spinal cord and nerves. The spine’s
most vital role is that of protecting the spinal cord and the
nerves that exit between each vertebra. Each nerve serves
a purpose in the function of the body, including sensory
feedback to the body, controlling body movements via
musculature, and providing function to organs.
Like a circuit breaker in your house, if a circuit is
tripped, anything on the other side of that circuit does not
function. Similar is a nerve, when a nerve is damaged,
whatever is on the other side cannot function and heal as
it is designed to.
Nerves can be irritated or damaged in numerous
ways. One way the nerves get damaged is called sublux-
ation. Subluxation is when one or more of
the vertebrae move from their normal
position and irritate, impinge, or damage
a nerve altering its neurologic communication from brain to body. Subluxations
can occur from things such as traumas,
falls, automobile accidents, repetitive
injury such as years performing computer
work, manual labor and even a child at
play. Chiropractic is the practice of
locating, detecting and correcting
subluxations. Chiropractors diagnose
and treat mechanical disorders of the
musculoskeletal system, especially the
spine, under the belief that these
disorders affect general health via the
nervous system.
When visiting a chiropractor, it is paramount that the
doctor does a thorough history and examination, often
consisting of orthopedic testing, to identify the causative
factor of your health problems. Other tools that are helpful
in identifying the causative factor include computerized
nerve and muscle testing, as well as X-rays which allow
your doctor to see inside your spine for things such as
arthritis, curvatures, and misalignments of the neck,
shoulders, and pelvis. Once subluxations are identified, removing or reducing them by spinal adjustments are critical
to restore proper brain to body function and overall health.

The Rotary Club of Haddam-Killingworth
S ervice A bove S elf ,
Continued from page 1
with members from Haddam, Killingworth and Madison
continued to spread the good word of Rotary. Over the
next three months, new members came to meetings at the
Killingworth Library, La Foresta Restaurant and Chatfield
Hollow Bed and Breakfast and sought information at the
Higganum Farmer’s Market. Fittingly, it was at the first
Parmelee Farm Market as club members registered children for the AMBER Alert Child ID program that the 20th
member joined, making the Club eligible to be chartered.
The Club plans to donate all of the proceeds from
the Indian Fiesta Dinner to international and local literacy
projects. A portion will be donated to the Killingworth
Library, Brainerd Library, The Dictionary Project to provide
dictionaries to all third grade students in both towns and
the remainder will be used to fight illiteracy in India.
The club will partner with the Bangalore Rotary Club for
this international project.
The Rotary Club of Haddam-Killingworth joins
1.2 million neighbors, friends and community leaders in
35,072 clubs in over 200 countries who come together
to create positive, lasting change in our communities
and around the world.

Choosing the Right Daycare for your Child
By Jessica Davis, The Killingworth Kid’s Center.
When it comes to choosing a
childcare center for your child you are
faced with many options. Is a home
daycare or center the right choice for
your family? Do you want something
close to your home or work? Do you
want a school setting with individual
classrooms for each age group? I recommend exploring both home centers
and childcare centers to see which fits
your needs best. The next step would
be to do some research. You can find
centers in your area by calling the 211
info line. They will be able to provide
you with a list of licensed centers in
your area. Ask friends and co-workers
for recommendations. Once you have
narrowed down your search of the
centers you wish to visit, there are a
few questions you should ask:
1. What are the centers hours of
operation, what holidays are they
closed, do they close for inclement
weather, and is there a vacation
credit?
2. What are the tuition costs, do they
offer part time, do they accept
credit cards?
3. What is the student to teacher
ratio?
4. What does a typical day look like
for your child (the classroom
schedule)?
5. Does the program offer a curriculum that is developmentally
appropriate for each age group?
6. What are the centers policies on
discipline, feeding, and sleeping?
7.What are the teacher’s qualifications and are they first aid and
CPR certified?
The Killingworth Kid’s
Center
8. Are the teachers certified to
administer medication?
You should always take notes
while visiting a center. Ask for a copy
of their policies and tuition costs. Feel
free to follow up with a second visit
at a different time of the day. Parents
should always go with their instincts
when choosing the right center for
their family.

Killingworth resident and Chamber Member
Amy Etra is a professional photographer who specializes
in the creative capture of people in all kinds of settings.
Her goal is to bring out the best in all her subjects and she
claims there is no one she can’t get to relax in front of her
lens. Below she shares some tips on how you can make
the best of your photos too –
• Don’t shoot into the sun, try to have it behind you.
When indoors, don’t shoot directly into a window with
people in front of it. Turn the group around so the sun
or window light is falling on them. It’s important to keep
your light source behind you.  
• Try different angles.  Don’t just stand in front of a
beautiful beach, kneel or sit down to get a low angle….
wait for the waves to roll in…changing your perspective
changes the whole photograph.  Use your tilt out screen
viewer for great low angle shots without sitting on the
ground.  
• The best times of day to shoot are early morning and
late afternoon….also dusk. If you have a telephoto
lens try shooting as wide as it will go, meaning F/2.8,
4.0, 5.6 NOT f/22 or 16/11/8. You want what is called
“bokeh”, which refers to the background being out of
focus. When you capture the bokeh, soft dreamy things
happen.

• The new iPhone 6 has an incredible camera. The color
rendition is gorgeous and if you can get the extra-large
one the screen is much bigger than that of a regular
camera.  
• If you are in a low light situation, find a surface like a
table or chair to rest the camera on to minimize
camera shake which gives you blurry photos.
• If you love a particular view – water, mountain, an
old farmhouse by the side of the road – visit it at
two different times of day. You’ll be amazed at the
different perspectives.

People shots for those reunions!
Everyone brings the camera to eye level and clicks.
You get half the ceiling and half of the group. Be aware
of ceiling and point camera down a bit. Even better,
stand on a chair and shoot down. That way you can see
everyone in the group and looking up helps eliminate
double chins. Talk to your subjects….even better, make
a few jokes with them.
For women, it’s nice if they put a hand on their hip,
it gives their arm a nicer shape. Turn some people
slightly in towards the center of your photo (makes
photo less wide). Remember to tell your subjects in a
group they must be able to see the camera or they will
NOT be in the photo. People tend to hide in the back, so
stand on a chair and shoot down on people. Watch your
backgrounds…you don’t want things coming up out of
people’s heads. Keep the sun or light source behind you
always – I repeat it because it is important.
Last but not least – Shoot a lot…digital is free! The
more shots you take, the better the chance of getting

Notes from the Town Hall
Parker Hill Road and Parker Hill Road Extension. Please look
out for raised catch basins. The road will be resurfaced in
September; until then, the new catch basins that are in
place will be higher than the surrounding road.
Burr Hill Road. In mid-August, we expect to begin work
on safety improvements and resurfacing of Burr Hill Road
between Route 148 and Schnoor. To keep the disruption
as brief as possible, about one-third of a mile of the road,
starting at Rt. 148, will be closed to all but local traffic
during reclamation.
As always, we will send email updates about road
closures to everyone who has signed up for notifications.
To receive these and other notifications, go to
townofkillingworth.com and click on “Email Sign-Up.”
Volunteers Needed. Several town committees are
looking for members. Among those with openings are the
Public Health Agency, the Energy Task Force, the Open
Space Committee, and the Conservation Commission.
Serving on town committees is an opportunity to work
with other citizens who are dedicated to having a positive
impact on Killingworth’s future. If you would like more
information, please contact my office at 860-663-1765,
ext. 501.

service to the school district over her seventeen years of commitment and devotion to the
students, staff and H-K community. This annual
award is presented to a member of the graduating class who has demonstrated significant and
genuine dedication to voluntary service to the
Haddam-Killingworth High School and its community as selected by the Bombaci family and its
committee. It was Mrs. Bombaci’s belief that all
students learn to give back to their school and
community for all that they have received, and
this Award’s purpose is to ensure that the heart
Connie Bombaci with Cora Marica
of “paying it forward” will continue to be present
in our high school for many years to come.
This year’s award was presented to Cora Marica who
established by Mrs. Bombaci in 1989 as a way for her TV
dedicated herself to helping others with activities such as
Production students to involve the entire HK community in
working with young children at the library, volunteering at
helping others), participating in Relay for Life, and helping
Haddam Elementary School, mentoring young players in
to build a home with Habitat for Humanity.

Preventing Identity Theft
Submitted by Tracy MacKinstry
Millions of Americans fall
victim to identity theft each
year – and their financial
losses are in the billions.
In 2012, an estimated
16.6 million Americans
experienced identity
theft, causing losses of
$24.7 billion. What can
you do to help reduce your
chances of having your identity stolen? The steps below
can help you prevent significant losses.
Check your credit reports every year. You have the right
to obtain a free copy of your credit report every 12 months
from each of the three credit reporting bureaus – Equifax,
Experian, and TransUnion. Check thoroughly to ensure that
there aren’t any unidentified accounts on your report.
Place a freeze on your credit reports. This can help
stop an identity thief from opening a credit card account
under your name. You simply contact the three credit
bureaus and request a credit freeze. This prevents lenders who don’t already have a relationship with you from
viewing your credit report. If they can’t access your credit
report, they won’t issue a new account. There is often a
fee to request a freeze, depending on your state of residence and whether you’ve ever been the victim of identity
theft in the past.
Monitor your email. You want to be on the lookout for
phishing scams, particularly those that appear to come
from a credit card company, bank, retailer, or anyone else
you do business with. Many of these emails will direct
you to a phony website that will ask you to input sensitive
data, such as your account numbers, passwords, and Social
Security number.
Be careful online. When banking or shopping online, be
sure to use websites that protect your financial information with encryption, particularly if you are using a public
wireless network via a smartphone. Sites that are encrypted start with “https.” The “s” stands for secure. Also be
sure to use anti-virus and anti-spyware software.
What do you do if your identity is stolen? First, call one
of the three credit bureaus and ask them to place a 90-day
fraud alert on your credit report. They must contact the
other two bureaus to place fraud alerts on your reports.
You also want to get a copy of all three credit reports.
Second, file a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). You’ll create an FTC Affidavit, which you should
then take to your local police department and file a police
report. Your copy of the FTC Affidavit and the police report
make up an Identity Theft Report, which can help you:
• Get fraudulent information removed from your
credit report.
• Stop companies from collecting debts caused by the
theft.
• Get information about accounts that were illegally
opened in your name.

The Doctor Is In
PAMELA MURPHY, DO
Dr. Murphy –Which medical internet sites are reliable?
Be careful when looking up symptoms as you will
find a list a mile long of possibilities including ominous and
rare possibilities. You should not try and self-diagnose, as
medical decision making is more than just listing symptoms
and then picking from a list of possibilities. Your provider
has been trained and educated in eliciting from a person
important clues and then combined with a physical exam,
deciding on possible diagnoses. Sometimes this is very
straightforward and at other times it can be complicated.
This is a process that their education, training and practice
have prepared them to do. Remember that not everything
you hear or read is true, especially on the internet!
The internet is full of good and bad information for
all topics. It’s important to know a “trusted” or “reliable”
source. Years ago it was a little easier with print as you
could identify an author, publisher or the references for
the information supplied. Not so with search engines, like
Google or Yahoo as they don’t automatically give you the
best options listed first, and where the information
was obtained is not always included. As far as medical
searches are concerned this is especially true. Your best
source of information is your doctor and/or pharmacist,
or other health care provider. Usually they can direct you
to valuable and reputable sources of information on the
internet. Look out for blogs as you will get an individual’s
opinion or experience and it is not necessarily valid
information.
There is an excellent website for natural or herbal
products – natural medicines consumer version – where
they have tested the products that they list for validity
and safety. This is not a prescription, but if you are into
those products, this is an excellent source. The National
Institute of Health (NIH) also has a link for natural medicines as well. The NIH can be a good website for medical
information, along with the American Diabetic Association,
American Heart Association, American Cancer Society,
American Academy of Family Practice, to name a few.
THE DOCTOR IS IN is geared toward answering
general health concern questions. Local Physician
Pamela Murphy, DO will answer one question each
month. If you have a health and wellness question you
would like discussed, please e-mail the Killingworth Krier
at krier@killingworthct.com with THE DOCTOR IS IN in
your subject line.
All questions will remain anonymous.

Heads Up!
By Rob Clark, PhD
Killingworth Counseling
Happy Couples
Happy couples differ from unhappy couples in
countless ways. One of the most important is what
they say to each other. Specifically, there are three
things that happy couples say to each other frequently
that unhappy couples almost never say: 1) “Thank you
for doing x,” 2) “I’m sorry I did y,” and 3) “I admire you
for z.” People in unhappy couples say there is
nothing to thank, they regret no actions of their
own, and there is nothing to admire in their partner.
I regard this as willful blindness. In my 70 years, 40 as
a psychologist, I’ve never known anyone who did not
deserve my thanks for something. And every time I
congratulate myself for being generous I suddenly
realize something selfish I’ve recently done. And,
finally, if I think hard, I can find something I admire in
everyone I know.
It is not easy to make these statements because
they are self-effacing. But they are extremely powerful.
They lift people up. They empower others to be their
full selves. This is what happens in happy couples.
Heads Up! is a new column that will address mental health and relationship issues.
Lynn Monahan and Rob Clark are clinical psychologists with practices in New York City since 1975
and in town, under the name of Killingworth Counseling, since 1996.

Guidelines for Local Egg Sales
By Paul Hutcheon, Director of Health
Town of Killingworth
Killingworth residents are advised that there are a few
guidelines that need to be followed when selling eggs directly to consumers. The State Department of Agriculture
has developed the following guidelines for residents who
sell eggs directly to the consumer:
• Eggs are to be held at 45 degrees Fahrenheit or less.
• When a commercial carton (say one from a grocery
store) is re-used, the carton must be modified as follows:
USDA shield must be obliterated. Original plant code,
expiration/sell by date must be obliterated. Original
trade name/address must be obliterated
• The name and address of the resident producer and a
phone number to receive complaints must be included
on the carton and clearly legible
• The following statement must be legible on the carton,
“SAFE HANDLING INSTRUCTIONS: To prevent illness from
bacteria: keep eggs refrigerated, cook eggs until yolks are
firm, and cook foods containing eggs thoroughly”
• The surface of the egg should be cleaned in an approved
manner (e.g. brushed lightly) that will remove dirt and
debris without damaging the egg’s natural coating
Residents selling eggs to the consumer are exempt
from having to grade and size shell eggs and are not
required to put a net weight on the carton. Please contact
the Killingworth Health Department at (860) 663-1765
x223 or phutcheon@townofkillingworth.com, should you
have any questions or need any additional information.

WHAT’S Cooking In KILLINGWORTH
Taco Salad
Submitted by Carol Ann Nash
We loved this recipe for hot summer nights around
the pool. Make it early in the day when it’s cool and come
supper time you have a real good meal without heating up
the kitchen or a grill.
Ingredients:
1 ½ lbs. Hamburger
Taco Spice Mix – 2 packages
2 large tomatoes, 1 onion, 1 pepper, diced
1 can red kidney beans, drained
1 pkg shredded Cheddar and 1 pkg shredded
Monterey Jack Cheese
Catalina, Ranch or French dressing
Shredded Lettuce of your choice
Taco chips, crumbled
Cook the hamburger. After you have drained off the
fat, add Taco Spice mix. Then add tomatoes, onion, pepper,
and kidney beans to hamburger mixture. Add cheese only
after the hamburger mixture is cool enough to not melt
the cheese. Add dressing, chill. Even better when mixture
can blend overnight for flavor! To serve, place mixture on
top of shredded lettuce. Crumble up some taco chips and
sprinkle on top. – ENJOY!
Variations:
• This dish is also great served warm – simply reheat the
meat and veggie mixture just before serving over lettuce.
• Onion can be sautéed with the hamburger at the
beginning of prep if you don’t like raw onion.
• Dressing can be sprinkled on top just before serving if
you prefer not to add to mixture before refrigeration.
• Avocado, chopped black olives, jalapenos or a dab of
sour cream are also a great topping addition.

Review - Chatfield Hollow Bed & Breakfast
“Chatfield Hollow B & B is a little piece
of Heaven. We raised our family in
Killingworth and returned last month
to visit. The setting is quiet and serene,
the perfect relaxing get-away. Peepers
and frogs serenade you to sleep at night
and the hospitality is unbeatable, the
food delicious, the grounds beautifully
planted and immaculate. All of that is
within minutes of everything Killingworth
now has to offer, including a new gourmet
restaurant, La Foresta. This was the most
relaxing vacation we’ve ever had, just a
stones throw from our old homestead.“
