Francis Connor, Jr.
Greetings and salutations to everyone in District One. We are completing an excellent year in our District, culminating in the Induction of 15 new Fellows in Atlanta. We look forward to welcoming them when they return home or at the Yankee ICD luncheon in January. Here is some of our District news: Joe Kenneally continues his tremendous commitment to ICD and will become ICD USA Section President in January, a rare Double- Double. Christine Benoit recently completed an outstanding year as an International Counselor. RI Deputy Regent Jeff Dodge was honored in Atlanta as the Outstanding Deputy Regent in ICD. Jeff also serves as District One Treasurer. Kevin Norige from CT and Barry Saltz from ME are new Deputy Regents from their respective states. We welcome them and look forward to their contributions. Connecticut had a very successful of Mission of Mercy this spring and treated over 1000 patients over a 2 day period. RI will have their MOM in the fall. Eliot Paisner, our fearless and intrepid Vice Regent rappelled down the wall of the tallest building in New Hampshire - all for charity! I hope that the holiday season will bring you happiness and joy and I look forward to seeing you at the Yankee Luncheon in January. Frank Connor

International Council
Submitted by Christine Benoit, Programs Manager
The International College of Dentists Annual Council Meeting took place November 11 – 12, 2017 in Taipei City, Taiwan. ICD’s partnership with the US Center for Disease Control Antibiotic Awareness Program continues to allow Fellows to learn about this critical issue. In 2015, in Europe and the US, there were 50,000 deaths due to antibiotic resistance. Ten percent of outpatient antibiotic prescriptions in the US are written by dentists. ICD President Joseph Kenneally delivered an Antibiotic Awareness presentation in Mala, South Africa in June. Other programs took place in Chengdu, China; Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam; New Delhi, India; Lancaster, Virginia; and Beirut, Lebanon. The College plans to develop an educational video on Antibiotic Awareness to disseminate information on how to best prescribe needed antibiotics. Information can be found at http://www.icd.org/get-smart-about-antibiotics/. A new ICD Global Project Registry will be launched in the spring of 2018. This flagship project, years in the making, is an innovative map that will display Humanitarian, Educational, and Leadership activities by ICD Fellows worldwide. Please notify your state District One Deputy Regent of any such activity you are involved in for inclusion. The ICD Centennial in 2020 will celebrate ICD’s first one hundred years, showcase the Colleges’ accomplishments, and promote ICD in the next century. Every Section, Region, District, and individual Fellow will learn of opportunities to participate, create, and/or plan a celebration. The Centennial year begins January 1, 2020 and runs until mid-November when the International College Gala will take place in Nagoya, Japan. All New Fellows are most welcome to receive their Fellowship in Japan in November 2020 should they choose. Worldwide Fellows are encouraged to read upcoming communications on how he/she can become part of ICD’s Centennial Celebration. The 2018 Council Annual meeting will take place in New York City during the Greater New York Annual Meeting.

Take a chance All of us have achieved our current positions in life by taking chances. For many of us just applying to dental school was taking a chance. No one enjoys rejection but “nothing ventured, nothing gained”. It is very difficult for many of us to go out of our comfort zone-to move to the edge and have a look over. I recently had the opportunity to participate in a fundraising activity for a local dental clinic in Nashua, NH. The activity was to rappel from the roof of a 24 story building (269 feet). Talk about going out of my comfort zone! I have a significant fear of heights. I have a horrible time going towards the edge of any tall structure- I don’t even like glass elevators and move to the rear when in one. But I did it. What a metaphor for life. I suppose if I could do this rappel there is little to stop me from anything. How about you? What are you facing that would propel you “over the edge”? During his Convocation Address to the 2016 class of new ICD Fellows, Terry Dickinson related his views of taking a chance. “Show up, step out on the edge of life- be a part of something greater than yourself ”. Little did I know that I would literally step “over the edge”. Eleanor Roosevelt spoke of chances also: “do what you feel in your heart to be right for you’ll be criticized always”. That pretty much sums up how I have approached things in my life and I expect many of you as well. After all, you are Fellows because you have taken chances and accomplished so much.

DISTINGUISHED AWARD WINNER 2018 CAROLYN J. MALON, DDS Farmington, CT
At the 2018 ICD Luncheon at the Yankee Dental Meeting on January 26, 2018 Dr. Carolyn J. Malon of Farmington, CT will receive the 2018 Distinguished Service Award from ICDDistrict One. Carolyn is most deserving of this award and we hope that you will be able to join us at the luncheon to help honor her. Carolyn practices Dentistry with her husband Dr. Steve Moran at Family Dental Care of Farmington, CT. They have practiced together in Farmington since 2012 and before that their practice was in New Britain, CT. Carolyn is originally from New York City and is a graduate of Manhattanville College in Purchase, NY and the Georgetown University School of Dentistry in Washington, DC in 1985. Since graduating from Dental school, she has been extremely active in organized dentistry, in community service locally, nationally and internationally, and is extremely generous with her time and resources serving those in need. Some examples: • Delegate, Alternate Delegate to ADA House of Delegates from 2006 - 2015 and is the current Deputy Whip for the First District • Served as President of the Connecticut State Dental Association in 2012 – 2013 and has literally served on just about every committee and council for the CSDA • Has been a leader and participant in the CT MOM from 2008 to the present day, Dental Lifeline Network, Give Kids a Smile and Nkozi Hospital in Uganda • Always active in her Church, community associations, children’s activities and anywhere else where there is a need. Carolyn has also received numerous commendations and awards for her charitable and community service throughout her career. Dr. Malon is intimately involved in a project I know she will speak more about at the Luncheon – her work with a Pilot Preventive Dental Project at the Nkozi Hospital in Uganda. She and her family have been deeply devoted to the needy in Uganda for many years. Carolyn and her husband Steve have two teenage children and live in West Hartford, CT. She enjoys skiing of all kinds (downhill, cross country and water skiing), snowboarding, and ice skating. She is also happy trying out new recipes in the kitchen. And a part of her story not to be forgotten, she is also very active politically, and spends a good deal of time advocating on behalf of the dental profession and her patients at the state capitol.
Congratulations to Carolyn on receiving this prestigious award. Hope you can come and congratulate her.

Connecticut NEW FELLOW Dr. Jeffrey Hoos of Stratford, CT is a graduate of Tufts University School of Dental Medicine. Dr. Hoos has lectured, published and participated in research extensively. Jeff is involved in several dental and community activities including CTMOM and Veterans Affairs Support services. Nominated by Drs. Zissi and Brady.
STATE NEWS In looking over the list of ICD fellows from Connecticut, I have chosen to highlight four individuals for their selfless adherence to the ideals of the ICD: Integrity, Leadership, and Service. The first is Dr. Jeremiah J. Lowney, Jr, or Dr. Jerry as his friends and patients might refer to him. Dr. Lowney was inducted into the ICD in 1988. He is a practicing orthodontist from Norwich, CT, but he is probably best known for his establishment of the nonprofit Haitian Health Foundation, which serves more than 225,000 people in more than 100 remote villages in the Grand Anse district of Haiti. With the recent spate of hurricanes in 2017, the recurring task of attending to the impoverished people of Haiti after natural disasters has increased. Dr Lowney with his bright eyes and welcoming smile will passionately describe the efforts to anyone who will listen. A second individual to be an unsung hero is Dr. R. Lamont MacNeil, or “Monty”, the Dean of the University of Connecticut School of Dental Medicine, in Farmington, CT. Dean Monty has been a fellow of the ICD since 1988 with his practice concentration in periodontics. The dean is responsible not only for the operations of the dental school, and also handles the annual “White Coat Ceremony” for incoming dental students and oversees the undergraduate dental student service mission externships to foreign and domestic locations. The third individual I would like to recognize is Dr. Tom Galvin, a general dentist from Glastonbury, CT. Dr Galvin has been an ICD fellow since 1988. Even with some personal health issues, Dr Galvin’s credits include precepting dental students at the UConn dental school and hygiene students at Goodwin College. Additionally, Dr. Tom has previously served as the president of the Hartford (CT) Dental Society. Tom annually treks out to Utah with a small group of prosthodontists to provide dental prosthodontic services to the Native Americans on several Navajo reservations. And no matter the weather, every Thanksgiving morning, Dr. Tom volunteers his services to the Manchester (CT) Road Race with his usual smile and good cheer abounding. Finally the fourth person I would like to give a shout out is Dr. Mark B. Desrosiers of Columbia, CT. Dr. Desrosiers started his career as a general dentist, but realized his passion was in endodontics in which he is board certified. Dr. Mark has been a fellow of the ICD since 2012 and previously was the president of the Connecticut State Dental Association. As well as being a full time private group practice clinician, Dr. Desrosiers has served at several Connecticut Mission of Mercy free dental clinics. His avocation and desire to serve others extends beyond dentistry where he serves as the Training Committee chairman of the Connecticut Rivers Council of the Boy Scouts of America which serves more than 25,000 youth and adults in most cities and towns in Connecticut. I also want to give a shout out to past deputy regent for CT Dr. Tom Brady, as he recovers from shoulder surgery.

STATE NEWS We have several Fellows who serve in leadership positions in the Maine Dental Association (MDA) including President-elect Kathryn Horutz; Vice-President, James Koelbl; Secretary, Dean Tourigny; and Long-term delegate Jonathan Shenkin. Chairing the Maine Board of Dental Examiners is Lisa Howard. The ninth Annual “Dentists Who Care for ME”, co-founded by Demitroula Kouzounas and Barry Saltz, was held on Nov 3. A number of dentists across the State play a role by either opening their offices or joining in to provide free care for the day to underserved Maine citizens who do not have a dental home. This was to be an exciting chapter in our history as the University of New England College of Dental Medicine (CDM) was to open their clinic and have the students participate, cultivating one of the CDM’s core values of social responsibility. Unfortunately, on October 30th a devastating wind storm with 50-60 mph wind speeds toppled trees and knocked out power to nearly 500,000 residents across the state. The dental school was closed for a week and similar outages occurred throughout the area shutting down dental offices as well. However, we were fortunate to have a number of offices come online with power the night before and WHC4ME program moved ahead. We expect our 10th Annual event to be the biggest yet with a major push from the MDA who will play a greater role moving forward. As of our 8th year (not including 2017) this completely unfunded program with its participating dentists has seen over 3500 patients and has donated care valued at over $1.2 million.

Veterans Dental Initiative In New Hampshire, veterans seeking dental care find it difficult to navigate the VA’s qualifications to get access to dental care. Often, to get any benefits you must be 100% disabled and it must be service related. Responding to this unmet need, Tom Raffio, CEO of Northeast Delta Dental and I, as Program Coordinator, formed the Veterans Initiative program. With support from Jack Heath and his morning radio show we launched the program. The veteran calls in to the broadcast NH Deputy Regent Richard Vachon addressed and gets a phone number to call. I arrange for them the NH Fellowship during the annual meeting to be seen. As one of the cadre of participating denin September 2017. The well attended meeting tists I listen to their concerns about pain, swelling, injury, a broken tooth, etc., and restore their ability featured a presentation by Dental Director to eat, speak and eliminate infection that can influof NH Department of Health and Human ence their oral and systemic health.
