On Monday night, shortly before midnight, the Representative Town Meeting (RTM) approved a $444 million, 2019-20 town budget, along with a $51 million capital budget, by a vote of 149 in favor, 30 opposed, with two abstentions. Although few cuts were made, the spending plan was adopted without funds to find a site for a new Northwest Fire Station.

The budget represents a 2.98 percent increase in the mill rate, which is used to determine property and vehicle taxes. This marks the 18th consecutive year in which the rate of increase was under 3.5 percent.

Last year's budget was $421 million with no increase in the mill rate, but rising health care costs and other factors led to an increase in spending for '19-'20.

"This budget maintains valued town services at the community desired level, and prov ides a responsible capital investment pla n ," accor d i ng to B o a r d of Estimate (BOE) and Taxation Chair, Jill Oberlander, in her budget message. "It continues support of high quality schools within Board of Education established class size guidelines, performs state of good repair investment and necessary improvements in town and school infrastructure, and funds important planning and risk management initiatives."

Most debate centered around the proposal for a new Northwest Fire Station.

RTM members voted 102 to 91 to delete $100,000 for due diligence in f inding property for a joint fire and Greenwich Emergency Services (GEMS) facility. The RTM did approve $75,000 of to conduct a study of fire safety coverage. Nearly 40 people signed up to speak on the matter.

Lucia Jansen, chair of the RTM's Budget Over v iew Committee, brought the motion to cut the $100,000. She emphasized that the town has not conducted an independent f ire study since 1989, and that the town needs new data on f ire safety before moving forward with property due diligence.

"This ready, fire, aim planning approach has not served us well in the past," Jansen said.

Jansen remarked that after the study is complete, which she said could be after 12 to 16 weeks, t he BO C wou ld welcome t he recommendations.

"In fact," Jansen continued, "the BOC would state right now up front, that we would support an interim appropriation if necessary to implement the recommendations prior to the normal budget cycle."

Rob Perelli-Minetti, chair of the RTM Finance Committee, agreed with Jansen and urged his fellow RTM members to support the cut.

"It's important to understand that this is not a vote against a Northwest station. It's a vote to understand the entire town's fire situation," Perelli-Minetti said.

RTM member, Louisa Stone, said it's time to stop stalling.

In 2016, the RTM voted against the purchase of property at Fairview Country Club on King St. that would have housed a joint station for fire and GEMS. "The need for a Northwest fire station has been studied and studied and studied," she added.

RTM member Bob McKnight, said the project is "simply long overdue" and those in District 10 deserve to be safe.

"It's purely a public safety issue.

I don't think any family in the town of Greenwich should go to sleep at night feeling less secure and less safe than any other family or any other district. Not in the town of Greenwich."

First Selectman, Peter Tesei, has tried to secure a new Northwest fire station for several years. He spoke in support of the $100,000 appropriation, alongside Assistant F i r e C h i e f R ob e r t K i c k , a n d Selectman Sandy Litvack.

Earlier this year, Tesei and fire officials presented a report on the need for a Northwest Fire Station.

The report analyzed response times and inadequate fire coverage.

"Despite attempts to distract from the core issue, I believe it is abundantly clear there exists a def iciency in travel time in Northwest Greenwich. The town has been discussing this issue for the last two decades, and for nearly ten years, my administration has pursued a solution to this problem.

There is no legitimate excuse to further delay action," Tesei said.

"You have been prov ided the information needed to make a

decision.”

RTM member, Michael Spilo, questioned the data from Tesei and fire officials, and said there are problems with fire coverage in other parts of town, not just Northwest Greenwich.

Another topic that garnered debate on involved Greenwich High School and Cardinal Stadium.

A motion to reduce $500,000 from the $3.9 million set aside for the repair of Cardinal Stadium's bleachers and press box, and the preliminary design, engineering and site work for handicap accessibility improvements, park ing, team facilities and bathrooms, failed to carry by a vote of 68 in favor, 113 against with two abstentions.

Wy n n McDa n iel, Cha i r of District 7, brought the motion to cut $500,000 forward. She said that while her district supports the Cardinal Stadium renovation and the fixing of unsafe bleachers and adding bathrooms and team storage facilities, there were serious concerns about phase 2.

"Phase 2 is not just about Cardinal Stadium, but a major reconfiguration of the GHS campus, including adding almost 100 new parking spaces and a new campus e nt ra nc e on t he Po st Ro ad ," McDaniel said.

Other speakers said phase 1 would only fix the bleachers and press box, and making the cut would hamper future plans for the project.

"When you start cutting the A&E money for phases two and three, you're cutting the very things

that need to be done," said Susan Fahey, chair of the RTM Education Committee.

Kim Blank, chair of the RTM Education Committee, opposed the cut and said there have been plenty of opportunities for the public to learn about the project.

"The project is planned in three phases, and this motion would cut A&E work for the later phases. To me, this is penny wise and pound foolish," Blank added.

"Even if you don't want to do all of the components of the full plan, at minimum you should understand the full plan before moving ahead with earlier phases. If you don't, you might wind up doing things in phase 1 that will make future phases harder and more expensive.”

Board of Education chair, Peter Bernstein, said there will be more opportunities in the future for public input.

Elsewhere, the RTM voted 128 in favor, 62 against with one abstention to reduce the salary increases from 2.5 percent to 2 .0 for 55 tow n and Board of Education management confidential employees. The entire reduction totaled $38,567.

The RTM also voted 118 in favor, 67 opposed, to cut $200,000 for a second propane fueling station for Greenwich's Fleet Department.

RTM members felt one tank is sufficient, and that it wouldn't make sense to commit to another tank when another environmentally friendly option to fuel the fleet could be available in the future.

ECFF, GPC Ready for Some Good Chimes

By Richard Kaufman "Good Chimes" will be had by all on Saturday, May 18, at the Arch Street Teen Center, and for a good cause.

The Emily Catherine Fedorko Foundation (ECFF), which was formed by Pam and Joe Fedorko following the tragic death of their 16-year-old daughter, Emily, in a water tubing accident off the coast of Greenwich,

in 2014, is hosting a fundraising event called "Good Chimes," to raise awareness about boat and water safety, and funds to help honor Emily.

I n N o v e m b e r o f 2 01 8 , t h e E C F F pa r tnered w ith the Greenw ich Point Conservancy (GPC) in its project to restore the Tod's Point Chimes Building.

Money raised on Saturday will go towards restoring the building's chimes

mechanism and bells, which will be known as "Emily's Chimes" once the restoration project is complete. A water safety center, which will provide education, advocacy and awareness of boating and water sports safety, will be housed at the base of the Chimes Tower.

"With the Chimes Building, we will have a permanent home that honors Emily and gives back to the community," said Pam and

Joe Fedorko.

GPC President, Chris Franco, said the Conservancy is happy to be partnering with Pam and Joe Fedorko, and the foundation, on the project.

"We think that the restoration of the historic chimes and tower will be a big benefit for the community, as well as a

Women Owned Greenwich

Fueling Female Entrepreneurship Through The Power of Networking, Part 2 The Sentinel sat down with committee members including: Cathleen Blood, Jennifer Deinhart, Marie Turkel, and Charlotte J. Walker.

By Michelle Moskowitz

Sentinel: WOMOG is committed to collecting and reporting on femaleled businesses in town. Why is this so important, and can this reporting be used to improve both the local and state’s economy?

Founded in the summer of 2017 and run by an all-volunteer group of steering committee members, Woman Owned Greenwich (WOMOG) represents a diverse group of female business owners.

with the Business Development Off ice of the Town of Greenwich, for starters if there was one! Greenwich currently lags behind other communities in this regard.

While we have the First Selectman’s Economic Advisory committee, they are not doing the work of an actual economic development officer. Most other towns in Fairfield County, the town of Fairfield, for example, have an office of business development.

Reporting on women-owned businesses is something that the Women’s Business Development Council (WBDC) does on a statewide level. We’re drilling down to analyze the unique situation in Greenwich.

Cathleen Blood: With 99 members, I feel we finally have enough data to start looking at trends, growth and underr e p o r t i n g s t at i s t i c s . We h ave d at a showing that the quantity of women owned businesses in Greenwich is underreported. We’d love to have a conversation Mar ie Turk el: It ’s so i mp or t a nt about the contribution of women-owned businesses to the Greenwich economy because it is under-reported. Often women

are doing so much on their own, such as running a business, taking care of family and keeping up their social relationships, and reporting data falls to bottom of the list. Women-owned businesses are already improving the local/state economy.

Charlotte Walker: We suspect, but cannot yet prove, that women-owned businesses may be the life blood of employment and employment growth in Greenwich and the state of CT. This is an important story to tell.

Sentinel: What is the most rewarding outcome you have witnessed thus far and what is the most surprising?

Marie Turkel: Most rewarding is that I’ve become friends with many of these women. I root for them to succeed not

The Last Stop on Tolling Information

By Paul Silverfarb While the Town of Greenwich’s budget was being discussed and voted on Monday night, there was another key event in Town Hall, as the tolling issue facing Connecticut took center stage.

Greenwich State Reps Fred Camillo and Livvy Floren joined State Rep. Laura Devlin (R-Fairfield) and State Sen Henri Martin (R-Bristol) for a town hall informational forum on tolls i n Con necticut. The event i n Greenwich was the last of the 21 town hall forums that Delvin and Martin hosted. “ Tra n sp or t at ion R a n k i n g

GreenwichFirst.com NMLS # 510513

Members Sen. Henri Martin and Rep. Laura Delvin are well versed and balanced in their accurate articulation of the facts,” Floren said. “The Greenwich/Stamford audience was decidedly anti-tolls as an additional tax; the presentation clarif ied documented data and explained the ramif ications of tolling.”

Martin and Delvin showed maps of the original plans for tolling stations throughout the state and showed the most updated map with less tolls. In addition, the cost for tolls and other associated costs, including Connecticut already having the seventh-highest gas tax in the country, were discussed.

“This forum was an opportunity for the public to hear a set of facts that they may not have heard before,” Camillo said.

“It wasn’t about changing people’s minds about tolls. We just wanted people to be aware of the facts so they could make up their own minds. Tolls are a big issue. Once they are up, they’re up.”

In the forum, the Republicans chatted about their Prioritized Progress plan, an alternative to Lamont’s plan to place tolls along the Merritt Parkway, Wilbur Cross Parkway, Interstate 95, Interstate 84 and Interstate 91.

According to the Connecticut State Republicans website,

EXPERT LENDERS COMMERCIAL & RESIDENTIAL

Prioritize Progress is a t ra n sp or t at ion f u nd i n g pla n that works within current state resources to provide $65 billion for transportation infrastructure projects over the next 30 years.

It relies on no tolls and no tax increases. It guarantees a steady, predictable f low of money for transportation infrastructure.

Patrick Sasser, who started the No Tolls CT organization and resides in Stamford, was at the event.

“The toll for ums are ver y informative and give people an idea of what the costs could look like in regard to the tolls,” Sasser said. “They also talked about their

Prioritized Progress and it gives people an understanding what Republicans are pitching.”

A little over an hour after t he sta r t of t he for u m, State of Connecticut G overnor Ned Lamont, who is also a resident of Greenwich, stopped in to listen to the presentation and to some of the questions from people in attendance and spoke for a few minutes about the tolling debate.

“The biggest difference we have up in Hartford right now is that prioritized progress says we’re going to put it on the company credit card,” Lamont

COLUMN: Wildly Successful

Lessons from The Amur Tiger: Be Tenacious

Introducing Jim Knox, our newest columnist

Measuring up to twelve feet from nose to tail, standing five feet tall on all fours, tipping the scales at up to seven hundred pounds and boasting three-inch long canines, Amur Tigers are as humbling as they are magnificent. I’m grateful to have a firsthand perspective on these apex predators. I have prepared their meals, fed them, cleaned their quarters, observed their behav iors, and assisted vete r i n a r y te a m s w it h t hei r handling and surgical procedures, including root canals—yes, even tigers get cavities!

Possessing the advantage— the pr iv ilege—of prov iding care for tigers, has given me a fathomless reverence for these primal creatures. It has given voice, texture, and force to their extraordinary adaptations. Their two-inch arched claws shred oak and maple logs. Their dense outer fur shields them from prolonged sub-zero temperatures. Their crowned carnassial teeth easily shear through lamb shanks—bone and all!

The t iger is a creat u re of contradiction. It is designed to kill large prey almost instantly with unstoppable force. Amur tigers are masterful predators and superbly designed killers, capable of dealing a swift death to any creature within their domain. This is an

apex predator with few equals, and yet... it is a failure.

With a kill rate hovering at a meager f ive percent, tigers survive not solely because of their incredible physical adaptations, but also their enviable behavioral adaptations. Through my work, I’ve come to realize that the tiger in, its entirety, is a creature greater than just its scientif ic self. It’s greatness extends far beyond its jaws and claws.

Their physical adaptations provide a platform for success in stalking and killing their prey such as Red Deer and Wild Boar, it is the behavioral “inner tiger” which wields the true power. In a word, it is the tiger’s tenacity that gets the job done. Stoked by hunger and fueled by failure, this tenacity pushes the tiger to its absolute physical limits to persevere, hunt after failed hunt, until it scores a life-saving kill.

The tiger requires large hoofed prey, up to one hundred pounds of meat, to refuel and repair a body ravaged by the rigors of the hunt at forty below zero. Between these large successes, the great cats subsist on hares, birds, rodents and carrion to keep them going as a bridge between their large meals.

In the human world, not every achievement is monumental, but the path to every monumental

achievement is marked by more modest ach ievements, wh ich enable us to reach our goals.

Expanding one’s own territory or establishing an entirely new home range is a bold move, yet tigers perch with seeming ease atop this knife edge of risk and reward. Dismissing the human element of poaching, tigers must still contend with, among harsh a nd potentia l ly fata l factors, other tigers. Like house cats and dogs, tigers scent mark territorial boundaries to maintain dominion over the food, water, space and shelter resources within their home range.

They will spray hormonelaced blasts of urine to mark any prominent vertical natural landmark such a boulder, tree or rock face. This is a tiger’s equivalent of an olfactory neon flashing sign which reads: “Keep Out! Enter at Your Own Risk!”

With each cat possessing the strength of 17 full-grown humans, t h e y m e a n i t . Tr e s p a s s i n g encroachment on guarded territory and resources can be met with lethal force. If the victor is hungry, the loser may be eaten.

The A mur tiger possesses certain undeniable strengths, and so do we. Specifically, the Amur tiger is equipped with phenomenal raw physical power—the kind of power which enables it to square off against full-grown Eurasian Brown bears. The tiger, capable of covering 50 feet per second, is an explosive ambush predator, which takes the majority of its prey within the first 150 feet of its attack. Its main prey, Red Deer and Wild Boar, are equally fast and can sustain their speed far longer than 150 feet. Such quarry are no pushovers. The Eurasian Wild Boar is a fearsome creature.

Wit h a low center of g rav it y mounted on a seven foot-long, five hundred and fifty-pound frame, it is nature’s bulldozer. Reaching 0-30 mile per hour acceleration in

under 1.5 seconds, this bulldozer runs on nitrous oxide. Throw in exceptional hearing, paired fiveinch, self-sharpening razor tusks and arguably the planet’s most refined sense of smell, and you’ve got one formidable adversary.

The tiger has its work cut out for it. It must stealthily stalk or secret itself within striking distance to put its strength into play. It has to put itself into a position to unleash its strength or the hunt is over before it begins.

We c a n do t he s a m e , g iv i n g ourselves the opportunity to wield the advantages we possess.

By concentrating its strengths wel l a nd e mploy i n g t he m i n concert, the tiger gains an incremental advantage, which is sorely needed if the cat is to survive and prevail against capable prey. A tiger gains knowledge from the harsh lessons failure instills. A missed leap or a goring at the business end of a Wild Boar provide powerful incentives to incorporate alternate tactics.

Another core strength the tiger harnesses in its pursuit of success is focus. I’m not talking mere concentration here. I’m talking about intense, unwavering focus— the kind of focus which excludes all non-essential factors. The tiger is single-minded in pursuit of its quarry. While failure is no stranger to this predator, it endures. With every stealthy placement of its leathery foot pads, the Amur tiger is relentlessly hunting success every bit as much as it is hunting Red Deer and Wild Boar.

The great cat prepares for the moment it puts its skills to the test.

Readying every sense, it targets its prey, locking its gaze and fixating on its objective. Time becomes suspended and then, it happens. In an instant, all of its energy—every sense, strength and skill coalesce in a potent, fluid burst of energy which launches the tiger to victory.

We a l l fac e cha l lenge s to achievement and the stakes get

higher: passing the Bar exam, landing your first job, publishing your manuscript... the list goes on. By apply ing behav ioral biomimicry—emulating animals as models of success, we can achieve remarkable things. Each one of us has at least one Wild Boar in our sights. With the right game plan we can bring down this daunting quarry. We need look no further than our friend the Amur Tiger to coax it out. To the tiger, failure is not defining. Nurturing the tenacity to succeed five percent of the time after having failed ninety five percent of the time...now that’s defining!

Puiblisher's Note: Beardsley Zoo’s tigers, Changbai & Petya, are members of the Species Survival Plan (SSP) for Siberian tigers. Connecticut can be proud of the Beardsley Zoo's role in the conservation program working to ensure the survival of these majestic predators for future generations.

GOLD, 2015 South Africa: I think that this big image was well earned. Gary Player’s adage that ‘the harder I practice, the luckier I seem to get’ carries a great deal of resonance every time I look at this photograph. How appropriate it was therefore that I took this image just 32 hours after celebrating Gary’s 80th birthday in Sun City, South Africa. We have become good friends over the years and I am full of admiration for his passion and commitment to the pursuit of excellence. In my lower profile world, this image of an adult male lion is as good as I can do, but by practicing and getting in wrong, I found the way to finally get it right. It is a lucky shot, but maybe I earned it. For one thing, I have never returned from a shoot dirtier or smellier in my life.

WAKANDA, 2019 We don’t have many strong images of Black Panthers, but the three that I have from the last twelve years are all coveted. I don’t think there is another animal that tests our camera systems and indeed our camera work as much as these beautiful cats.

HARIN, 2016 North East China: This is a simple portrait of the most dangerous and beautiful cat in the world – The Siberian Tiger. It was taken in -30 degrees in Northern China and whilst there is deliberately no context in the image, there is a sense of the cold. An alpha.

EMMA, 2017 Dinokeng, South Africa: It is integral to my approach to photography to see focus as the variable that can never be compromised. This probably hints at my beginnings as a sports photographer. The shorter the distance between subject and camera, the more skill and precision is required. Think of cows close to a train window as against cows in the distance.

There is no room for error at all in the taking of the image – especially when using a lens like a 20mm – if the focus is an inch behind or ahead of the subject’s eye, the image will lose its “wow factor”. I won’t print it. Even with a reasonable motor drive, this is a low percentage approach.

NARNIA, 2019 South Africa: Shooting from a cage on land is uncomfortable, but is doable. However, shooting from a cage in water is a little extreme. Every time something rubs your leg, you imagine it’s a water snake or a small croc. On the flip side, it is the best way of cooling down on a hot African afternoon. I wanted to be below the eyes of the lion and this meant that only my head and camera were above the water level. The clarity of the lion’s face and the water drops make the image, which is well framed. Adult male white lions are a joy to photograph – there is a sense of gatecrashing a fairytale.

I miss most often by being early but also sometimes by being marginally late. However, when it works, the results can be sensational. This image of Emma – a lioness within Kevin Richardson’s sanctuary – speaks for itself. I don’t need to comment on the detail in her face – it’s there for all to see.

There is more information in this portrait then any other lioness shot I have taken in my life. It is as simple as that. I think the big print is about life size and it is immensely powerful. What a magnificent cat and not a bad image as well.

Nooyi Receives History in the Making Award at Sold Out Event

The sold-out Greenw ich Historical Society’s History in the Making Award event has been rescheduled for June 12. The GHS will award former Chairman and CEO of PepsiCo, Indra K. Nooyi, with its History in the Making Award at a reception and lecture in recognition of her important place in a long history of women’s achievements.

The award is timed to the 100th

anniversary of the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which guaranteed women the right to vote, and to a major exhibition the Historical Society plans to open in early 2020 on the legacy of the suffrage movement and the accomplishments of Greenwich women who played a major role.

Nooyi will discuss Women in Leadership, a topic for which she is eminently qualif ied and

impassioned. As one of fewer than 5% of women who have recently led companies in the Standard & Poor’s 500, Nooyi understands the issues at stake and what women need to do to succeed at the highest ranks of corporate America. In a recent New York Times profile, Nooyi said: “We can ill afford to be a country where women drop out of the workforce.”

“Indra Nooyi is a remarkable

it off the balance sheet and off of the backs of the taxpayers and get it done through the user fees,” Lamont said.

Floren said that Lamont had mentioned to her back on May 2 that he was going to possibly drop by the forum, and she welcomed him with open arms.

“We were delighted to welcome him home,” Floren said. “He lives in Greenwich and is my constituent.

Governor Lamont spoke for a few minutes and reiterated the urgent need to improve our transportation i n f ra st r uc t u r e . He a l s o to ok questions from the audience.”

While Sasser has been one of the most vocal people against tolls in Connecticut, he has yet to speak to the Governor face-to-face about his concerns. Luckily for Sasser, he was in the right place at the right time and finally got to ask Lamont a question.

“A s h e p r o m o t e s t o l l s throughout the state of Connecticut, he constantly

says that he speaks to business leader and businesses and they want tolls,” Sasser said. “I asked the Governor about the small businesses that are struggling to survive and struggling to stay here in Connecticut. I said: ‘What do you say to them that are going to have that additional cost put on them?’ And I gave him an example of a business in Greenwich that delivers home heating oil and they have estimated that anywhere from $55,000 to $72,000 additional cost by tolls. They made it clear that they have to pass the cost on to their customers.”

“Tell him the truth that if you borrow $700 million a year and ask people to pay for that over the next 20 years with interest, you’re not doing him or his kids any favors,” Lamont said. “Tell him that as congestion gets worse and worse and it takes him 10 or 15 minutes longer to deliver his oil, you’re not doing him any favors at all.”

"When the tragedy happened, it was devastating for the whole community, especially for our family, because we just k new them so well. Almost immediately after the accident, [Pam and Joe] announced they were starting a foundation, and a bunch of us in the neighborhood said we wanted to get together and help," Dell'Abate said, who is now a Board member and will emcee the Good Chimes event with Lara Spencer. " We're l itera l ly just eig ht people in a living room. That's who runs this foundation. It's very grassroots. We're all great friends of the Fedorko family and we all love Emily, and we're trying to do the best to help," Dell'Abate added.

Saturday, the day of the event, marks the start of National Safe Boating Week, which will run th roug h May 2 4 . A s su m mer rapidly approaches and Greenwich residents take to the water for fun in the sun, it’s important to remember safety.

"Everybody should use their head, and think about what they're doing. Double check yourself all the time when you're not in the boat.

You want to go out and have fun, but at the end of the day, you just have to be responsible," Dell'Abate said.

Chris Franco added that the Chimes Building will serve as a reminder to those who frequent Greenwich waters.

"Our entire community mourned when Emily died in a tragic boating accident off the shores of Greenwich Point," he said. "We cannot help but think that when ‘Emily's Chimes’ ring out over the waters of Greenwich Cove , t he go o d work s of her foundation will be make boating safer for young boaters in those same waters,” Franco said.

Tickets for the Good Chimes event can be purchased at emsway. org. Donations to the foundation and to the Chimes restoration project can be made there as well.

building! Women are naturally great at this and as all sectors of business have become disrupted, relationships have been revealed to be critical. Why does social media marketing work? Because it feels like great word of mouth from those we trust. I’d love to build on the idea of speaking to high school clubs/groups to encourage young women to “be themselves” in business. Their natural abilities of empathy, the art of conversation and other soft skills are actually excellent business skills.

Gary Dell'Abate, a Greenwich resident, has been neighbors with the Fedorkos for over two decades.

The families have vacationed together many times, and Dell'Abate's youngest son was good friends with Emily. Following the accident, Dell'Abate wanted to help in any way possible.

We are all so busy and getting women out in the eveninSentinel or morninSentinel to one more event is really hard. This loops back to most rewarding: WOMOG must be offering something of great value for women to take time out of their lives to show up, give their time and ideas and energy.

Cathleen Blood: Partnerships and collaborations have flourished because WOMOG has connected women entrepreneurs who had never met. Knowledge is power! The surprise to me was the sheer diversity and number of women-owned businesses in our town. That’s Greenwich for you!

Jennifer Deinhart: Meeting an entirely new group of people!

Greenwich is a large “small” town and women often stick to the same groups, whether it be their neighborhood, their child’s school, a club they belong to. It’s terrific to be a part of a group of women who are specifically connecting over business endeavors. I’ve lived in town for 16 years, raised two kids here, and I’m constantly amazed at how ma ny new p e ople I get to meet who were doing such amazing thinSentinel.

Student Loan Debt Relief Legislation Today, the Finance Committee passed Senate Bill No. 72, a bill that would make Connecticut a more affordable state for recent college graduates and the companies who hire them. The bill earned bipartisan support and will help address the growing student debt crisis.

State Senator Alex Bergstein (D-Greenwich), Senate Chair of the Banking Committee, originally introduced this bill, which was then referred to the Finance Committee and approved today. The amended bill is the product of a collaboration between Sen. Bergstein and State Senators Will Haskell (D-Westport) and James Maroney (D-Milford). It creates a tremendous opportunity for Connecticut to retain and attract talented, young college graduates.

Senate Bill No. 72, “An Act Establishing a Ta x Credit for Employers That Make Payments on Loans Issued to Cer tain Employees By The Connecticut Higher Education Supplemental Loan Authority,” creates a tax credit for employers who make payments on the student loans of qualified employees.

Individuals can receive relief if they are state residents, are employed f u l l-time, received education loans or refinanced loans

through CHESLA and graduated in the last five years. Employers who make payments directly on the behalf of their employees can receive a 50% tax credit on those payments. Employers cannot claim credits for more than five taxable years per employee or for loan payments greater than what an employee owes in a year.

“By offering Connecticut college graduates a compelling reason to live and work in the state for five years post-graduation, we will build a talented workforce that generates more revenue for our state and builds a sustainable and thriving economy,” said Sen. Bergstein.

“I w a nt to t ha n k S enator Bergstein and Maroney for all of their hard work on this, as well as my colleagues on both sides of the aisle who supported it today.

As legislators, we hear constantly from business leaders that they have trouble recruiting a skilled workforce in Connecticut. We do such a good job of educating students, it’s time this state does a better job of keeping these graduates in Connecticut so they can become ta xpayers and homeow ners,” said Sen. Haskell. “This is a winwin method of addressing student loa n debt. It lends a ha nd to college graduates and incentivizes

them to stay in Connecticut after graduation. It gives our employers a reason to hire locally and creates a more friendly tax environment.

Every dollar of tax credit given by the state will translate to debt relief for student graduates, benefitting the Connecticut economy.”

“One of my goals this session, and something I campaigned on, was to provide our state’s college g raduates w it h some col lege loan relief,” said Sen. Maroney. “I applaud state Senators Will Haskell and Alex Bergstein and the rest of the Senate for advancing this legislation. Right now, the only debt that outweighs college loan debt is having a mortgage. We cannot continue to allow our state’s residents to be burdened in this way.”

I n pu bl ic te st i mony, S en.

Maroney said student loan debt in Connecticut more than doubled f r o m 2 0 0 8 t o 2 01 7, a n d t h e Connecticut Realtors supported the legislation, noting first-time home buyers are delayed, on average, by seven years due to student loan debt.

“CTR believes that Connecticut has the opportunity this session to establish our state as a leader in addressing the student debt crisis,” Connecticut Realtors testified.

Editorial Page Word

As an avid reader and loquacious writer, I love words.

T he s ou nd of a s t a nd-a lone , s i n g u l a r wo r d f i l l s m e w i t h emotion. Some words are just fun to say, like onomatopoeia or rutabaga. There is something about the way the syllables roll of f my tong ue and the feel in my mouth that makes it hard not to smile. And then there are words that denote the opposite reaction, like moist or mealy or even ointment. And, when words are grouped together they often tell a story, or describe a mood, or encourage or discourage, and these groupings can be powerful, persuasive, poignant and even life changing. There is an old saying, “sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me,” that I find utterly misconceived. We need to fill our life with words both written and spoken, chosen caref ully and thoughtfully.

We l ive i n a world wher e the most popular form of com mu n ic at ion do e sn’t even include words anymore. Texting

Column

involves acronyms, abbreviations that seem to cut down on the amount of time needed to communicate. We used to enjoy face-to-face contact. Then we listened to one another on the phone. But texting is like saying: I could have stopped by, but I didn’t. I could have called, but I didn’t do that either so I will text you so I do not need to see or hear you.

Seriously, what do we do with the time we save using letters instead of words? IDK. I n ou r house , I a m st i l l a st ick ler a b out w r it ten t ha n k you notes. A ll of my children have stationary, and although my daug hter tells me that no one writes thank you’s anymore (which I know is not true), the boys have given up or given in. I am easy going, but here I draw the line. When we receive a thank you note hand written in a beautiful script or scribble, I leave it out on the counter for all to see, like a trophy or a treasured gift because truly, I treasure them.

Just this past Mother’s Day, my daughter was lamenting that she had nothing to give to me, which wasn’t exactly true because she had given me a wonderful lacrosse game in the pouring rain, and I told her all I wanted was a letter, and I got it. And it meant the world. It was from the heart and beautifully written in a bright fuschia, felt-tipped pen decorated with hearts, and I will keep it and maybe bring it out when we are deep into her teenage years.

The written word is wonderf ul, but the spoken word can be equally brilliant or dispiriting. I remember a time when my daughter thought it was still cool to take the very early bus

to school, giving up sleep time for extra school time. On one such morning, she was seated next to a friend when her friend leaned in and then said quite loudly, “Your hair smells.” Now she could have added…“amazing” but she did not, and these three words left alone made for a pretty rough day for my daughter. Words can hurt.

The other day, a good friend told me a wonderful story about the words an English teacher had shared with her son. Sam is a senior in high school and has done well and is looking forward to a Memorial Day graduation.

In this particular class, he had been enjoying his senior spring as he should, but knew he could definitely be putting more into his studies. After class, his teacher asked him to stay.

“What was today all about?” the teacher asked.

“I know I have been coming in unprepared and, last night, I stayed up and did all of the work. I respect you too much as a person to not honor the class homework and discussion,” Sam explained.

“Well, Sam. I like you. You are a fine student and I am going to look you up in a few years because I just know that you are going to do great things.”

Wo w ! ! A n d t h e s e w o r d s are powerful and worthy and I suspect that they will stay with Sam over the course of his life and he will revisit them, and they will mean more than his grades on his final high school transcript that will be tucked away in a file somewhere in his parents’ house.

This English teacher modeled for us how to communicate words of encouragement. We, too, need to take the time to communicate similar words of encouragement

to the people in our lives. Let’s face it, we all need these words from time to time, to keep us going in the right direction or to let us know that we are on the right path. Sometimes, these words will make all the difference. They may inspire. They may comfort. They say I care and I have taken the time to show it. If we spend the time to share wonderful words with each other, we may all enjoy better days and not ones spent worrying about smelly hair.

In less than a week , we will celebrate our oldest son’s graduation from college. It’s a huge milestone. We will sit though the three-hour service outside in a courtyard, rain or shine, and hear his name called, the same name we gave him over 22 two years ago in the small room on the 9th floor of the old Greenwich Hospital when we welcomed him into our lives. I will be wearing my dark glasses, as I do on all occasions when tears will likely accompany me. I am sure the speakers will share words of encouragement, similar to the words that will be spoken across the country at similar celebrations. There will be lots of proud family members, caps thrown and pictures taken.

I have started a hand-written letter to my son to commemorate his commencement. I am proud of him. I am also grateful b e c au se ou r l ive s have b e en forever changed and touched by his arrival so many years ago. I will site some of his wonderful qualities: he is a people person, an amazing and loyal friend and a wise old soul. And, I will say the words that I did at his first commencement when he joined us on this earth. “Look out world!” and then I will tell him ILYSM.

Notre Dame

Beauty Lost and Found

By Francis Ambrocio

L i ke s o m a ny a r ou nd t he world, I was struck profoundly by the burning of the cathedral of Notre Dame de Paris. Anyone who watched the cathedral go up in f lames had to be touched, whether they were believers who had prayed there, as I did last May, or if they had simply grown up watching Disney’s “Hunchback of Notre Dame” (sorry, Victor Hugo).

Despite its steeple-less bell towers, Notre Dame is the gothic cathedral – indeed, it may be the cathedral – in our popular consciousness.

Think about it – it was in Notre Dame that medieval musicians experimented with polyphony, laying the foundations for modern Western music. It was one of the first cathedrals to employ f lying buttresses, architectural features that allowed its builders to make it taller than any buildings had ever been. Those innovative buttresses held the weight of the stone walls so that artisans could install the massive, stunning stained-glass windows that radiated many-colored light into the cathedral. Centuries’ worth of visitors to the cathedral – many, if not most, of whom could not read – were both educated and

inspired by those windows and the countless pieces of art and sacred relics that dwelt within.

It is fitting that Notre Dame was constructed during the Middle Ages, when Paris, the capital of France – then known as The First Daughter of the Church – f irst became a leading center of culture and learning.

Standing alone at the east end of Paris’s Île de la Cité, Notre Dame has borne witness to history, not only of France, but of the entire West. Its burning marks a loss of not only one of the world’s most beautiful edifices, but one of its greatest monuments.

A nd much was lost. The roof timbers alone were historic treasures. Some dated from the time of Charlemagne (more than a thousand years ago!), and there are no trees left in France today as tall as those old oaks. There were windows dating from the time of Dante that were damaged beyond repair. And we all saw the spire’s dramatic collapse over and over again on our TV screens and live feeds.

But much was saved, and in truly heroic fashion. While the embers still smoldered, stories began to spread of people like Father Jean-Marc Fournier, the chaplain of the Paris Fire Brigade, who insisted on being allowed into the burning cathedral in order to rescue the relics and the Blessed Sacrament f rom the church’s tabernacle. He led firefighters in creating a human chain to move the holy items out of the inferno.

It is wor th noting that Fr. Fournier saw combat with the French Army in Afghanistan, and that four years ago, he was among the first to rush into the Bataclan Theater a f ter ISIS ad herents gunned down 89 people inside. If you don’t believe in heroes, consider yourself proven wrong.

The f irst photo released showing the inside of Notre Dame after the fire was nothing short of amazing – perhaps miraculous.

Through the smoke, ashes, and rubble, the cross above the altar shone br ig ht ly a nd t he piet à beneath it stood untouched.

Almost immediately, people on the internet captioned it with the last words of Joan of Arc, the young woman who led France’s armies to victory after victory, and upon being taken prisoner was wrongfully burned at the stake: “Hold the Cross high, so I may see it through the flames!”

Which brings us to the question of how Notre Dame emerges from this catastrophe. How do we rebuild something like that?

Thankfully, people from across the world pledged their support for Notre Dame’s restoration almost before the fire was out. Despite the bitter social and political divisions that we see blasted across screens every day (usually intended to get clicks or likes), every person who saw the ancient cathedral of Notre Dame on fire paused in sadness.

All seem to agree that Notre Dame, a crown jewel for so many – Paris, France, the West, the Christian faith, artists, musicians, architects, all of humanity – must be restored

to its former glory.

Th is restoration w i l l be a massive undertaking, just as the cathedral’s original construction was – it took almost two centuries to build! But such grand projects are wor th it, because they transcend the mundane and inspire all who behold them. One 20th century French monk remarked that the “majest y of temples, the splendor of liturgy, and the sweetness of chants…[form] an earthly epiphany accessible to all.”

Things like Notre Dame outlast all of us, in the shortness of our lives, and they leave a legacy of collective commitment to things far greater than any individual person. Robert Barron, a current Catholic bishop of Los Angeles who gave tours of the cathedral when he was a theology student in Paris, also commented on the universal and enduring appeal of Notre Dame. He noted that the crowds of people who stopped as they saw the cathedral burn, dropped to their knees, and began singing the same Ave Maria that their ancestors prayed when the cathedral was being built almost a millennium ago, “are the ones who most got what that building means…If it survives, it’s because of that. And that’s the thing that maybe is most hopeful about it.”

GTP in 2019 The logistics are all planned. The musicians are announced. The long-range weather looks good. The countdown has begun to this year’s Greenwich Town Party.

Now in its ninth year, the Greenwich Town Party (GTP) has evolved and grown into one of the most popular town events of the year. With past musical performers like Dave Matthews, James Taylor, and Eric Clapton how could it not? Eric Clapton may be a hard act to follow, but this year’s headliners; Lynyrd Skynyrd, Trombone Shorty, The Beach Boys and even Greenwich’s own Caroline Jones will have us rocking the day and night away.

However, the GTP is not just about great music. It is about community. Specifically, our community coming together for a day of fun that the whole family can enjoy. It is one day of the year when Roger Sherman Baldwin Park – where the party is held – transforms into an old-fashioned New England town green. There are face painters, street performers (i.e. people on stilts dressed like butterflies), local organizations promoting their activities and our neighbors. All enjoying the opportunity to spend the day outside.

Originally the brainchild of Ray Dalio af ter visiting Spain and witnessing the unifying benefits of

inally, “thank you” to the GTP for creating this community event in which we all have the opportunity to participate if we wish.

celebrating community with a town party, he quickly built a core group to spearhead the effort to re-create the experience here in Greenwich. What a great team!

Today Ray Dalio, Patrick Durkin, Ray Rivers, Scot Weicker, and others, plan, promote, and produce the one-day event, which takes an entire year to prep.

As with any successful endeavor, challenges occur. It is how those challenges are addressed that determines its place in our community. The bar is higher in Greenwich... so is the capacity for support. The success of the GTP quickly out-stripped the capacity of Roger Sherman Baldwin Park. There is a limit as to how many tickets can be sold simply because there is a limit to how many people fit in the park.

When there are performers like Eric Clapton, demand will always far exceed supply. To address this issue, GTP created a lottery system so that everyone had equal chance to purchase tickets. Each year the technology behind the lottery system improves and we understand that next year’s technology will be far superior even to this year's.

Unfortunately, success seems to breed detractors.

We have seen it for several years now. We understand the frustration. (We would refer you to the above statement about supply and demand.) There are still several ways to attend this year’s GTP. You can still purchase Sponsor or Neighbor tickets. Yes, they cost a little more, but it is important recognize that these tickets finance 80% of the party’s cost and make the Community ticket prices possible. With this support, more in our community are able to be there together.

And how great is that?

Every year there are also volunteer opportunities.

Volunteer a few hours and then enjoy the rest of the day at the park. That is the most cost-efficient way to enjoy GTP. We are so impressed that the leadership of the GTP continues to actively seek input on how to make the party better for all: to ensure that this is not a private concert for some, but a community event for all. If you have suggestions that might improve GTP share them! Your insight will not fall on deaf ears but will be thoughtfully considered. You will find contact information on their website: greenwichtownparty.org.

This year’s line-up looks spectacular and if the weather holds (and even if it doesn’t) it will be another fantastic day for our community. Of course, we are a little partial to our hometown girl, Caroline Jones, who will be front and center when she performs. She is currently touring with Kenny Chesney and earning a huge following for her music.

Finally, “thank you” to the GTP for creating this community event in which we all have the opportunity to participate. And we cannot wait to see what is in store for your tenth year. (Hoping for Garth Brooks) In the meantime, we are looking forward to hearing Free Bird live with our neighbors as we look out over Greenwich Harbor.

Media and Religion: Little Big Town to A Conversation Perform at Wine + Food On Sunday, May 19 at 2 p.m., St. Paul's Episcopal Church in Riverside will host a conversation between two leading thinkers on religion and the media. Thomas Gallagher, CEO of the Religion News Service, and Bill Baker, who directs the Bernard L.

T he pr o g ra m for m at w i l l be an informal conversation as they discuss local, national and international representations of fa it h i n a cha ng i ng me d ia environment. Among the topics will be: How does the 24-hour news

cycle effect reporting on religion?

Are there particular areas of faith traditions or religious matters the media covers more extensively?

How does the media cover important, transformative work that faith communities seek in their ministries?

Thomas Gallagher, a lawyer and journalist, has been the CEO and Publisher of Religion New Services since 2016. Gallagher has written about domestic and foreign affairs for the National Catholic Reporter since 2009. In 2017, the Connecticut Press Club awarded Tom First Place for Religion for two stories he filed from Iraqi Kurdistan.

Bill Baker is the President

Emeritus of WNET-13 PBS New York. Baker is the recipient of seven Emmy Awards, two Columbia DuPont Journalism Awards, and three Gabriel Awards for programs in religion. He is the executive producer of several f ilms and documentaries including "The Face: Jesus in Art" and "Picturing Mary."

St. Paul's Church is located at 200 Riverside Ave. This is the final program in a year-long series titled "Sunday Afternoon the Library" which explores topics of relevance to the local community. More details can be found at stpaulsriverside.org or by calling 203-637-2447.

GTC Launches Treasured Tree Program Calling all Greenwich residents: The Greenwich Tree Conservancy (GTC) wants to know if you have a ‘treasured tree’ on your property.

GTC is launching the Treasured Tree Program to raise awareness of special trees on private lands in our community, to create respect for unique trees, to encourage forethought for any removal of nameplated trees, and to inspire future nominations.

The characteristics of such a tree would be one or more of the following: it is loved for many reasons; its magnificent size; its age; its pedigree species; its unique shape; its Spring f lowers or Fall foliage; its special history; or a special memory or story.

Nomination forms w ill be available at the GTC website: greenwichtreeconservancy.com, as well as a list of frequently asked

questions. Three tree expert judges will come to your home to evaluate the nominated tree. The selected tree will have a 5” x 7” nameplate mounted around its base. The winner will also be awarded a framed photograph of the Nameplate Installation Ceremony at a reception in the Fall, and their treasured tree will be enrolled in the GTC’s roster .

Listening Skillfully

On Faith Feature

Why Improving Our Listening Skills May Lead to What We Really Want

By Marek P. Zabriskie

I f you look at t he posit ion description for any leader today, a common need expressed is for someone who can listen. “We need a good listener,” many search committees say, whether they are looking for a leader for a school, law firm, hedge fund, church, or not-forprofit.

Likewise, if you were to hear the concerns of employees or those who serve an institution, they often comment that their leaders, “do not listen,” or “never listen to people who challenge them.”

Show me someone who listens well, and I will show you a wise person. The Greek philosopher Zeno said, “The reason why we have two ears and only one mouth is that we may listen more and speak less.”

Few p e ople c a n w i n a n Olympic medal, learn to speak ten languages, or perhaps write a celebrated novel. But all of us can become a great listener, a skill at which we can all excel, one the world desperately needs, and one which will likely help us achieve other, harder to reach, goals.

How of ten have we aske d, “why won’t they just listen?” It’s a frustrating experience to be around someone who listens poorly, inattentively, or carelessly.

Truth be told, we’re all guilty of imperfect listening habits and our communication with each other suffers as a result.

Peter Drucker, who has been called the “Father of American Management,” suggests that 60% of all management problems are a result of faulty communications.

More than half of all divorces are said to be the result of an inability to c om mu n i c ate e f fe c t i ve l y.

Criminologists report that nearly 90% of all criminals have diff iculty communicating with other people.

Humans engage in four methods of language communication: reading, writing, speaking, and listening. Most school curriculums ensure that we learn the f irst three well

and can use them in practical application, in our everyday lives.

Even thoug h we spend more time listening than in any other communication activity; there is little in curriculums designed to help us truly accomplish the last task, namely how to listen well.

It is estimated that the average person listens with only 25% efficiency. While another person is speaking, we may assume that the subject is uninteresting or unimportant or mentally critique their delivery. We may become over-stimulated, withdraw our at tent ion, dayd re a m, or just pretend to focus.

A person can think four times faster than the average rate of speech, which is about 125 words per minute. If the listener fills the extra time with the aforementioned deterrents, the message may be distorted or erased.

Dietrich Bonhoeffer, the great German theologian (killed by the Nazis), said, “The f irst service that one owes to others in the fellowship consists in listening to them.” He added, “Many people are looking for an ear that will listen…. But the one who can no longer listen to his brother or sister will soon be no longer listening to God.”

People are desperate for someone to listen to them carefully. We all are. If we can teach ourselves to listen well; to develop the habit of listening, paying attention to voice cadence a nd pitch, watch i ng facial expressions, and trying to understand what is being said in an active way without judgement or leaping ahead to what we want to say in response, we will give others a vital gift.

Morton Kelsey, an Episcopal priest and author, wrote, “The first art of listening will unlock more doors into life than anything else I can think of.” He adds, “Real listening is a religious experience.”

We “have entered into a holy place and communed with the heart of being itself” when we listen to another. Kelsey notes that until we have listened to the shadow side of another person, we have never witnessed them in their depth.

Many of us are better at listening for than listening to.

What might be the difference?

W h e n we l i s t e n fo r, we a r e at t e nt i ve to t h e t h i n g s t h at w e w a n t t o h e a r, s e e k i n g confirmations of what we already believe or fear. Listening to is more difficult. It involves listening to what is being presented to us,

whether we like it or whether it agrees with our assumptions and suspicions or not. When we listen to we must set aside our preconceived ideas.

Jesus was a profound listener.

We fo c u s o n h i s wo r d s a n d m iracles. But ever y m iracle began f irst by listening to someone or seeing someone in need. His ears and eyes were the gateways to his miracles. Jesus told his followers, “Those who have ears to hear, listen.”

Jesus listened to his mother w h e n s h e to l d h i m t h at t h e hosts had run out of wine at the wedding in Cana of Galilee. He listened attentively to the SyroPhoenecian woman. Jesus listened carefully to the woman at the well. He listened intently as the blind Bartimeus called out to him. Jesus listened compassionately to the centurion whose daughter was gravely ill.

God is the Supreme Listener.

We a re created in the image of God and meant to be good listeners. Jesus modeled how to listen attentively to the old and to the young, to the rich and to the poor, to women and to men, to those in the center and to those on the margins, to those belonging to our religion and to those that

are despised by our religion, our tribe, or even our own mindset.

St. Benedict wrote a small book of spiritual instruction for the Christian community 1,500 years ago called the Rule of St. Benedict.

Some believe that it is, except for the four gospels, the most important book in Christianity. It has exercised vast inf luence on Western civilization.

It b e g i n s w it h t h e wor d s , “Listen my son to the instructions of your Master, turn the ear of your heart to the adv ice of a loving father, accept it willingly and carry it out vigorously…” To listen with “the ear of the heart” is a sk ill that we can perfect through practice over the course of our lives.

The Quaker writer Douglass S t e e r e s a i d , “ To ‘ l i s t e n ’ t o another’s soul into a condition of disclosure may be the greatest service that any human being ever performs for another.”

In a society riddled w ith division and diversion, listening well may be our best way to care for others.

SPORTS

FRIDAY, MAY 17, 2019

By Paul R. Silverfarb If anybody wants proof of the old adage that hard work pays off, just ask Izzy Nixon.

The Greenwich resident and Greenwich Academy graduate grew up working hard at the sport of lacrosse and was awarded a chance to play it at Yale University.

After shattering several records at the New Haven campus, the Bulldog senior is ready to take her game to the next level, as she will be playing in the Women’s Professional Lacrosse League.

“It’s really surreal,” Nixon said. “To dedicate yourself to s om e t h i n g l i ke t h e d r aw i n lacrosse for the length of your career and get recognized for it is amazing. It’s something that I have been working on since Greenwich Academy, if not the better half of middle school. The 13-year-old Izzy is out of her mind right now.”

I n the end of Apr i l, Ni xon was selected 23rd overall in the WPLL Spring Draft and will play professionally for the New England Command. Nixon’s selection also made history, as she was the first ever female lacrosse from Yale University to be drafted.

“Izzy Nixon has a prolific career as one of the best draw specialists in the nation this season,” said Amy Patton, the New England Command’s head coach. “We are looking to her to be someone that will take the faceoff for us, and really try to put it to the spot we need it or win it herself, and be someone that can really get us a lot of ball possessions in games. We are excited to see how her skills will transition to the pro level.”

The f irst thing that came to Nixon’s mind when she found out she was the 23rd overall pick in the Women’s Professional Lacrosse Leag ue was how excited she was to represent Yale University, the place that helped propel Nixon’s young career to new heights.

“I can’t express how grateful and happy that I am to be able to do them justice this summer,” Nixon said. “I am also thrilled to be able to take that next step in the sport and take my game to the next level. It’s kind of a similar feeling to when I was at GA and realized I was able to play lacrosse at Yale. Knowing that you’re able to take that next step and really elevate and push yourself with people that are fantastic lacrosse

players is really exciting. It’s a challenge that I’m ready to take on.”

Gr e enw ich Ac ademy he ad lacrosse coach Melissa Anderson coached Nixon when she was a member of the Gators. While she couldn’t be happier for Nixon and all her success, she’s also far from surprised.

“We are so happy for her,” Anderson said. “Obviously she was a real standout for us. She’s one of t hos e k id s t hat wer e so easy to coach. She’s just a workhorse and a team player.

She’s always willing to do the work. She leads by example.”

T h i s ha s b e en a br e a kout season for Nixon, and to say that she’s dominated would be a massive understatement. In her junior year, she set the Ivy League record by picking up 130 draw controls and only bested that her senior year, tallying 154 as of press time. This year, she also tied the Iv y Leag ue single-game record with 19 draw controls in one game, a 18-4 victory over Hartford on Feb. 26.

Back on March 10, she broke the Ivy League career draw controls record of 295 during Yale’s victory against Canisius. Nixon is also currently second in the NCAA in draw controls per game.

As of press time, she has 12 goals and five assists. In her Yale career, Nixon currently has 57 career goals and 83 career points.

“I never expected lacrosse to br i ng me to t he plac e s it did. It brought me to Yale and now it ’s br i n g i n g me to t he Command,” Nixon said. “I would be a different person without the sport of lacrosse, so for that I’m just so grateful. I’m really grateful that I was able to play it when I was younger. I’m grateful for all the coaches that believed in me at GA and Yale. I’m grateful for all my teammates throughout my years of lacrosse that constantly supported me on the draw and lifted me up whenever they could.”

For Nixon, the key to taking her game to the professional level was all about preparation and consistently practicing her craft.

Whether it was wrist exercises, look ing up draw v ideos in between classes and late at night, or practicing at the center of the field, Nixon was always working.

“It was all about putting in the extra time,” Nixon said. “Both

Below, Nixon, at left, celebrates a goal with her teammates during a game against Towson. in high school and Yale, the one thing that made all the difference at Yale was putting in the extra time that we dedicated to the draw in practice and outside of practice. It really made it a gamechanger for me to do those reps on my own. With the draw being such a skill-based position, I think putting in that hard work in the back end is what helped me.”

In addition to the practices and studying film, Nixon believes that amazing communication between her and her teammates has been instrumental to her success as a draw control specialist.

“I was always communicating with my teammates and making sure that we were all on the same page for every single play,” Nixon said.

The draw control is one of the key positions on the lacrosse f ield. A 5 0/5 0 ba l l cou ld b e a ga mecha nger at a ny g iven moment during a game. It’s a way to get possession of the ball and to get the offense firing on

High Intensity Training

By Dr. Robert F. Weiss High-intensity interval training is defined as repeated sessions of brief, intermittent exercise, often performed with an "all out" effort or at a high level of intensity.

This method of intense training may last from a few seconds to a few minutes, and it may include a number of repeats followed by a few minutes of rest or less intense exercise. The intense effort performed will increase skeletal muscle mass in activities such as running or cycling.

It can also improve performance during an activity that relies on aerobic energy metabolism.

Such high-intensity intervals are intended to improve training strength. This type of exercise

B

is less time consuming and can adapt to more prolonged periods of moderate-intensity exercise.

For those who have time restrictions, you should only need to do intervals every other day, which means more days off.

You will be able to reduce your training time, as well as the actual exercise strengthening because of the higher intensity periods.

Dr. Robert F. Weiss is a podiatrist specializing in foot and ankle surgery. He was a member of the Medical Advisory Committee of the 1984 and 1988 Olympic Marathon Trials. Weiss is a veteran of 35 Marathons and has a practice in Darien. For more information, go to Facebook.com/drrobertweiss

all cylinders.

“To be able to have confidence that you’re going to pick up those 50/50 balls on a regular basis adds a lot of confidence to the team,” Nixon said. “It gives the team momentum and it’s an emotional boost to the team for the length of the game. It’s something I really latched on to, and I love the high pressure of it. I love coming up with solutions on short situations and communicating with people at a moment’s notice.”

W h i le Ni xon i s exc ite d to get her career going with the Command, first thing’s first as graduation is front row center.

So after graduation, as Nixon will be graduating with a political science degree, she will join the Command and prepare for the team’s first game which will take place at Gillette Stadium on June 1, at 6 p.m.

“I am so excited to work with Amy Patton,” Nixon said. “She has over 30 years of coaching experience and I am really looking forward to playing under and for her. I can’t wait to take my draws to the next level and push the limits on that front. It’s going to be unreal to work with and play against national champions and award winners from all over the country. It’s so unique when you

get to play with a team with such talented players from so many different places. In this process I can elevate my game and help my teammates this summer come out with a championship.”

The Women’s Professional Lacrosse League consists of five teams: the Baltimore Brave, New York Fight, Upstate (N.Y.) Pride, Philadelphia Fire and the New England Command.

“The W PL L is doing g reat

work and we are thrilled they are succeeding and getting off the g round,” A nderson said.

“They just formed a partnership with U.S. Lacrosse that I think w ill mean a lot for the sport nat iona l ly a nd cer t a i n ly for developmental programs. For Izzy to be on the frontier of that is just a real credit to her. We are cheering for her success over here at GA and we are excited to see what she brings.”
