Master Plan
On February 3, 2010, the Amherst Planning Board voted to formally adopt Amherst's Master Plan! Congratulations to the over one thousand Amherst citizens who worked to create this important statement of community intent.
A Master Plan is a community's general "blueprint" for its future, guiding regulatory changes, land use policies, budgeting decisions, and the rest of the community decision making. It can help to direct decision making on the community's long-term physical development over a period of decades or even generations. Amherst's Master Plan addresses its future through recommendations regarding land use, housing, economic development, natural & cultural resources, parks & open space, community services & facilities/utilities, transportation, and implementation of the Plan.
This Plan - the first in Amherst for nearly 40 years - was based on extensive public input in the form of community forums, working groups, targeted outreach, and a number of community surveys, including a scientifically-conducted random survey. This input was informed by research on the community's existing conditions and anticipated trends for the future. This Master Plan represents Amherst's best effort to balance competing interests of a truly diverse population and address the complex and intertwined issues that will be facing the community over the next decade and beyond.

What is the Land Use Policy Map?
Below is an excerpt from Chapter 3 of the Master Plan:
The attached Land Use Policy Map represents, in a general manner, the land use development intentions of the community of Amherst as expressed in this Master Plan. This map is consistent with decades of community-based planning expressing the community's preference to preserve and enhance its traditional New England settlement pattern through control of new development.
The majority of new residential and commercial development will be selectively directed into existing built mixed use centers and associated densely-settled neighborhoods. New infill and redevelopment in existing historic downtowns, village centers, and established neighborhoods will have to abide by rigorous and sensitive design and density controls intended to preserve and enhance existing character. Existing outlying farmlands, riparian (stream-related) corridors, and woodlands are predominantly shown on the Map as permanently preserved lands or as lands targeted for potential preservation or for carefully-limited development. Some selected outlying areas—usually but not always near existing or proposed new centers—would be targeted for carefully controlled non-residential commercial development.
Areas designated as "centers" on the Land Use Policy Map are deliberately broad and generalized, and include the existing mixed-use downtown and village centers, the densely settled residential neighborhoods associated with and surrounding those centers, and other adjacent areas within ¾ mile (approximately 15-20 minutes walking time) of the geographic center of existing or proposed centers. These areas also include potential new centers and neighborhoods. Areas within these "centers" should not be understood as automatically representing areas targeted for new or infill development—as shown, for instance, they also include areas already preserved or slated for potential future preservation.
Amherst has yet to complete a center-by-center and neighborhood-by-neighborhood geographic planning process to create new zoning districts and new development regulations for those areas. Accordingly, the "centers" shown on the Land Use Policy Map are meant only to indicate their general existing or potential location. Likewise, areas shown for potential future non-residential development or preservation are not unequivocal statements of future community intent. In many places, areas of potential development and preservation overlap, indicating where the community has expressed an interest in both, but has not yet resolved how to balance those interests.
Following the completion of the geographic planning and rezoning process called for in this Plan, development regulations will change, and some of the areas designated for development will be developed and others designated for preservation will be preserved. Others will experience compromise solutions. Some will not change at all. The Land Use Policy Map does not represent community decisions on these questions. It only indicates where the community has expressed specific strong interests for preservation and/or development, and, in the process, identifies those areas where the community will need to coordinate and reconcile its sometimes competing interests.

I couldn't believe that my wife and I were already deciding where my daughter would attend college -- after all, we had brought her home from the hospital only two weeks earlier.
But truth be told, we were on the late end of preparing our daughter for her education. We live in Los Angeles, where entrance to certain Mommy and Me classes is so competitive that mothers-to-be call to get on waiting lists as soon as they find out they're pregnant. Personally, I would be offended to learn that I was fourth in line to hear about my wife's pregnancy -- after my wife, her doctor, and her Mommy and Me teacher -- but maybe that's just me.
My wife and I both agreed that we wanted our daughter to receive the best education possible. That meant the best academics and extracurricular activities, but also an exposure to people with similar values. (Of course, we wanted this all at a price that wouldn't require us to sell any major body parts, but in L.A., one always has to be open for negotiation.) We also decided that we would not engage in the madness of trying to set our child's future before she learned how to speak. We would wait at least until she was three.
It so happens that while my wife and I were in the midst of our incredible school-searching journey, we also embarked on a soul-searching journey that led us to more fully explore our Judaism. Suffice to say, we were very turned on by the lifestyle and spirituality of some Orthodox friends and eventually decided that that lifestyle was for us. We now consider ourselves "Modern Orthodox" -- that is, we are shomer Shabbos and keep kosher, but we also indulge in our secular interests. (While some of our more observant friends don't own televisions, I am a TV writer so I have to watch TV for, um, research.)
We wanted our daughter to see the beauty of Judaism without being cut off from the rest of the world.
The expression of our Judaism -- being observant in a modern world -- very much influenced our decisions regarding our daughter's education: we wanted her to see the beauty of Judaism without being cut off from the rest of the world.
During this journey, we convinced ourselves that we could still send our daughter to a secular school while reinforcing our Jewish values at home, thus getting the best of both worlds. After some deliberation, we decided to explore sending our daughter to a private school. (We looked into sending her to our neighborhood's public school, but for a number of reasons, it was not feasible.) Knowing that we were going to have to pony up for private education, we decided to shoot for the best, a school I'll call "The School" -- a perfectly integrated, state-of-the-art facility that had an amazing faculty at a price just below what I paid for my college education.
When we arrived at "The School" for an interview, I was already having second thoughts about sending our daughter to a private, secular institution. The interview sealed it. It went something like this:
Interviewer: Do you have any questions?
Me: Do the kids learn about Jewish holidays?
Interviewer: Our children learn about the major holidays of all the religions.
Me: We don't drive on Saturdays. Will there be a lot of school events on Saturdays?
Interviewer: Typically, school events happen during the school week. There may be some Saturday events.
Me: What about the kids? Do they have birthday parties on Saturdays?
Interviewer: Um, I'm not sure. I suppose some of them do.
Me: My daughter will be taking off all Jewish holidays -- many of which you've never heard of -- and she'll have to bring her own food because we keep kosher. I'd also like to keep her away from treif -- do they serve pork in the cafeteria?
Interviewer: Maybe you should send your daughter to a Jewish school.
So, there it was: the question of whether to send our child to a Jewish day school was largely resolved by the most secular school in Los Angeles.
The truth is, my wife and I had talked about day school before, but we had tip-toed around the issue. Putting our daughter in a Jewish day school raised a host of questions: Were we unnecessarily sheltering our child? How important is diversity? Don't we want our kid to know what the "real" world is like? And furthermore, what if all this Judaism causes our kids to rebel and go the opposite way?
Still considering our options, we decided to experiment with our "best of both worlds" plan by sending our daughter to a secular preschool. The cracks in our plan quickly became evident. Over the next year she got invited to the birthday parties of her friends -- almost all of which fell on Shabbos. Then, at the ones on Sundays, all of them seemed to serve pepperoni pizza or other varieties of milk and meat that my daughter couldn't eat. Basically, by wanting her to feel included, we made her feel left out.
The fears I had for my daughter were fears I really had for myself: would I lose friends by being religious? How would my family react? What about my career?
It all came back to the struggle that my wife and I faced: getting caught between being religious and secular, and trying to be both. Looking back, the fears I had for my daughter were fears I really had for myself: would I lose friends by being religious? How would my family react? What about my career? Even thought I work in television, a traditionally Jewish field, it is a distinctly secular industry where people harbor not only indifference but disdain for religious people. My father, who is not religious, warned me that all aspects of my life would be affected negatively by becoming observant.
Ultimately, my wife and I had to answer a question, not only for our children, but for us: what do we believe in, and how much were we willing to sacrifice for it?
My daughter is now almost five and is midway through her first year at Maimonides Academy, a Modern Orthodox day school in Los Angeles. Her friends keep the Sabbath, they eat kosher and all have their parties on Sundays. She comes home from school and tells me that Hashem (God) loves her, and she brags of performing mitzvoth.
Of course, the one fear we had was that she would lose her secular and non-Jewish friends. But a strange thing happened: they started having their parties on Sundays, and some even started offering kosher food so that our daughter could be there. The only downside is that now my wife and I have to increase our learning to keep up with our daughter's questions. But if that's the hardest things we have to deal with in sending our kid to Jewish day school, I'd say we made a pretty good choice.
And, for the record, even though I have to leave work early every Friday and basically take off the month of October, my career and social life have never been better. But that's another story.

During the Café and Events meeting we decided to arrange introductionsdays, lead by me or hannah or both, every second week at the forest for the new volunteers in the Cafe, or elsewhere in the building.
Volunteers can start to work in the cafe before they go to an intruduction. The idea is that the intruduction should be about how to become involved in the other parts of the forest then the cafe and also show the vollies around in the building.
If you have any ideas about what you think is necessary to tell new vollies, write it down here or talk to hannah, me or scout.

Joint inflammation executes our personal satisfaction, consistent agony simply doing ordinary simple errands incurs significant injury on our mind and keeps up from living, however it doesn't need to be that way. Did you realize that CryoTherapy was initially used to assist patients with rheumatoid joint pain? Specialist Yamaguchi in the late 70's started with solidifying temperature in brief time spans on the surface of the skin (CryoTherapy) to enable his patients to manage the agony of joint pain. Without the extraordinary agony patients could deal with a milder torment and effectively endure it, frequently for a considerable length of time between medications.
Today, a cutting edge Whole Body CyroTherapy sauna can convey almost 8-10 times colder temperatures to the entire body at the same time. This mitigates the endless aggravation in the joints, enabling the body to reset, while additionally expanding the collagen protein in the body. Numerous CryoTherapy devotees tell how it's been 'groundbreaking' for them. Never again avoiding their most loved exercises or being stuck and immobilized by torment. A few people have even possessed the capacity to dump their agony prescriptions by and large alongside their different joint inflammation drugs.
How Does CryoTherapy Do That?
It is realized that CryoTherapy prompts the collagen protein, which helps in reinforcing bones, joints, ligaments and ligament. It's additionally realized that CryoTherapy diminishes aggravation – incessant irritation is in charge of a great part of the agony experienced rheumatoid joint pain. We realize that CryoTherapy helps deliver against oxidants in the blood, something unique those with rheumatoid joint inflammation need in limit.
It's difficult to state precisely why it works so well or why the individuals who have joint pain swear by Whole Body CryoTherapy. We do realize that it brings down the histamine responses in the body. Research is still on-going, yet when a 75-year old who has joint inflammation can go out and play tennis again with companions, something is up. It is anything but an incident.
One clinical research consider indicated observable change with between 1-3 cryotherapy sessions and after 10-15 sessions patients recounted withdrawing side effects and an intense diminishment in torment. At the point when combined with active recuperation a couple of patients could dump their wheel seats, while all prominent enhanced simplicity of development. These outcomes proceeded for a half year after the treatment. Inquire as to whether you should attempt Whole Body CryoTherapy, possibly you can get off those meds as well?

The US apparel and footwear industry is urging Congress to renew the African Growth and Opportunity Act this yearAGOA doesn't expire until 2025, but the industry looks for certainty to the region in the face of the pandemic and upcoming US trade talks with Kenya.
Prime Minister Hun Sen on Monday said Russian Ambassador to Cambodia Dmitry Tsvetkov has pledged to support Cambodia as it moves towards a free trade agreement (FTA) with the federation.
Pakistan's government targets raising the country's textile and clothing exports from USD 13.5 billion in 2018 to USD 25 billion by 2025.
While US President Donald Trump is expected to visit India, trade ties between the two countries remain frosty. India's hope of reclaiming the benefits under the US Generalized System of Preferences scheme has been quashed.
Even though the government has decided to stay out of the world's largest trade block RCEP, it offers a market potential of USD 125 billion if domestic firms improve competitiveness, as per a World Trade Centre study.
As participating countries are expected to sign the RCEP this year, China's textile industry must accelerate the adjustment of products, capacity and trade structure to better integrate regional development in the next stage.
Enhanced access for products of Pakistan's export interest, particularly textile and clothing, to the United States market has been a long-standing demand of both the government and private sector.
Delegation of FICCI Textiles Committee met Smriti Zubin Irani, Minister for Textiles and Women and Child Development recently and impressed upon her to launch a special mission for synthetic fibre and textiles value chain to make Indian industry competitive in the global trade which is predominantly done in the man-made fibre (MMF)-based items.
Knitwear industrialists have urged the central government to enter into a free trade agreement with Russia, saying the former Soviet Union had given green signal to enter into such a treaty with Bangladesh.
The agreement, if inked, will be the second such US engagement in with an ASEAN-member nation, the first being with Singapore.
Despite Free Trade Agreements (FTAs) and Preferential Trade Agreements (PTAs), India's textile trade has not been performing well, said Aditi Das Rout, Trade Advisor, Ministry of Textiles.
Mexico has implemented a temporary exception to the rules of origin for textiles and apparel in its free trade agreement with Colombia.
The textile and garment industry, now far from its glory days, will have to bank on a possible free trade deal with the United States in a bid to revive its struggling businesses.
Tirupur Exporters' Association (TEA) today stressed the need to enter into Free Trade Agreements (FTA) with European Union, USA, the UK and Russia, to face the Chinese threat in export markets.
In Pakistan, businessmen and investors are expressing concerns over free trade agreement (FTA) with China claiming that would hurt the manufacturing sector.
Indonesian exports of textile and textile products could soar threefold if the government of Indonesia finally manages to sign a free trade deal with the European Union (EU). Achmad Sigit Dwiwahjono, Director General for Chemicals, Textiles and Miscellaneous industry at the Industry Ministry, said a major obstacle for Indonesian textile exports at the moment is the weak competitiveness of Indonesian textile companies as compared to their Vietnamese counterparts.
Indonesia is pushing for Australia to open its doors to more Indonesian workers - such as nurses and cooks - as well as removing tariffs on textiles as free trade negotiations between the two countries enter the final month.
Terms on intellectual property protections, state-owned enterprises up for debate.
Un deuxième Memorandum of Understanding vient d'être signé entre Maurice et la Chine pour aboutir à un accord de libre-échange.
Prospects are bright for Vietnam's footwear exports after the EU-Vietnam Free Trade Agreement comes into force in 2018.

PXF Developer Concepts
A newer version of this documentation is available. Use the version menu above to view the most up-to-date release of the Greenplum 5.x documentation.
The PXF SDK provides the classes and interfaces that you use to implement support for new external data sources, data formats, and data access APIs in Greenplum Database. You can also use the PXF SDK to extend existing external data sources, formats, and APIs.
When you develop with the PXF SDK, you ultimately build a JAR file. The Greenplum Database administrator deploys your JAR file to the Greenplum Database cluster. The Greenplum Database end user accesses your external data source/format/API when invoking a
CREATE EXTERNAL TABLE command specifying the
pxf protocol.
This topic introduces concepts central to developing with the PXF SDK. These concepts will be discussed in detail in later sections of this guide.
Plug-ins, Connectors, and Profiles
The PXF API includes the Fragmenter class and read and write Accessor and Resolver interfaces. You implement theses classes and interfaces when you extend PXF to add support for a new external data source, data format, or data access API. The classes that you create are called plug-ins.
A connector is a set of plug-in classes that support read and/or write operation(s) to an external data source:
- A set of a single Fragmenter, Accessor, and Resolver plug-in class together comprise a read connector.
- An Accessor and Resolver plug-in pair comprise a write connector.
- A single Accessor or Resolver class may implement both read and write operations.
A profile is a simple name mapping to a set of connector plug-in class names. You or the Greenplum Database administrator may choose to configure one or more profiles for your connector as a convenience for the Greenplum Database end user.
Summary of terms:
|A Fragmenter, Accessor, or Resolver class implementation.
|A set of plug-in classes that support the read and/or write operation to an external data source.
|A name mapping to a set of connector plug-in class names.
Data Flow
PXF in Greenplum Database has two components:
- A C shared library that is loaded into Greenplum Database when the
CREATE EXTENSION pxfcommand is invoked on a database.
- A Java service, referred to as the PXF agent, a single JVM process located on each Greenplum Database segment host. You start the PXF agent when you run
pxf cluster start.
Operations on Greenplum Database external tables are first routed to the PXF C shared library extension then on to the PXF agent.
The PXF C library validates PXF-specific parameters in the
CREATE EXTERNAL TABLE command. The PXF agent invokes a connector's plug-in classes only after the end user performs a
SELECT (read) or
INSERT (write) operation on the external table.
The PXF agent initiates a read operation on the external data source when the user runs a
SELECT command on a PXF external table. The PXF agent spawns a thread that invokes the connector Fragmenter, which splits data from an external data source into a list of fragments that can be read in parallel. A read Accessor reads a single fragment from an external data source and produces a list of records/rows. The read Resolver deserializes a record/row into fields. Finally, PXF translates these fields into Greenplum Database table column values.
The PXF agent initiates a write operation to the external data source when the user runs an
INSERT or similar command on a PXF writable external table. When writing to an external data source, PXF translates Greenplum Database table column values into fields and invokes the connector write Resolver. The write Resolver serializes these fields into a record. The write Accessor writes a record directly to the external data source.

I have long used a thread by Evenstar_of_Imladris "'Tis True, No More Limericks"
and continually felt that niggling feeling that something was wrong in doing so.
Therefore, I have set up this thread, not merely for my own poetry, but for others
as well, that they will bring poems that we can enjoy together, and to see the ones
that life brings to my heart and then to this place.
Coffee, tea...and other delectables... will appear when imaginations bring them
to pass !
This is a big step, a risk that may intrude on the goodwill of others
who have made threads for others to share.
If it turns out to be so, then I will acquiesce and take up
the task of posting poetry elsewhere.
Here, then, I present for all...
Poetry with Parm.

Surface errors?
I tried to load the regen emulator on an older win 95 with 512 meg and I get an error message "unable to create secondary surface" I've no idea what this means, I've used Regen on many many machines and it loaded with no problems, some of them quiet old. So what happened here? I've managed to use Regen on a cpu with 128 meg. Any ideas how to fix this?

Yea, this is a DirectX error, but from the sound of it, it seems the video card doesn't have enough VRAM or lacks some feature, but you may also have some too old DX version. I don't remember what is the last DX you can install on Win95, for 98 it is 9.0c

In a little more than a year and a half at Ithaca, I feel like I have learned more about the world outside of my surroundings than in all the time...

British Go Journal No. 13. April 1971. Page 10.

An interesting feature of the game of Go is that, unlike many other board games, altering the size or even the shape of the board has only a slight effect on the style of the tactics of the game. Is there any special reason why 19 x 19 is the accepted standard?
In the History section of an old Go Review there is mentioned a period when Go was played on a 11 x 11 board in a region of China. As this version of the game died out, one may assume that the choice of the 19 x 19 board is based partly on experience and not merely on tradition.
Most of us have experienced playing on the 13 x 13 and 10 x 10 boards, and I think many people would agree that, especially in the latter case, the usual approximate equivalence of territory gained below the third line and the influence of stones on the fourth is upset - the territory being of greater value. Whereas on the full board an opening san-san (3:3) move is regarded as defensive and biased towards territory rather than influence, on the 10 x 10 board it is a well-balanced move, while the mokuhadzushi (3:5) and takamoku (4:5) openings seem much too high to be useful.
One possible reason far the 19 x 19 standard, then, is that it is the size which best preserves the subtle balance between third-line territory and fourth- line influence, whereby initially the value of the territory seems greater, but, if the player with stones on the fourth line is able to extend his wall beyond three or four stones in length, while the other player continues to crawl along the third line, the value of the outward influence often becomes greater.
Another reason could be that the 19 x 19 board enables the handicap stones to be placed at a distance equal to the maximum safe extension along the side, i.e., a five-line extension from a four- (or more) stone wall. This is, of course, a quantity independent of board size and, therefore, if one assumes that the fourth line is to be used for handicap stones and that the side stone is to be five lines from the corner stone, the 19 x 19 board is predicted.
However, clearly there is room for experiment with different board sizes and possibly also with rectangular boards. I suggest that such experiments should set out to answer such questions as
I would be interested to hear from anyone who has views or experience on this topic to pass on.

Justin Sellers is back....
The Los Angeles Dodgers today recalled infielder Justin Sellers from Triple-A Albuquerque after the club optioned right-hander Matt Magill to Albuquerque following yesterday's game.

Hi Anita,
I have been unemployed for 2 months and try as I may, I still am having trouble finding employment. I am starting to get extremely bored and the excess hours of the day are beginning to get to me. With the large amount of free time on my hands, what can I do to during the day that will have a positive impact on my job search and my day-to-day life?
Dear, Stuck With Too Much Spare Time,
Being unemployed and having nothing to do are not as much fun as many people make it out to be. I bet for the first week or two, it feels like a nice vacation full of sleeping in, leisurely breakfasts, watching television all day, and kicking up your feet. But after a short while, those things you wished you could do while you were working are becoming unbearable and boring. If you are starting to feel down about yourself or feeling like there is no light at the end of the tunnel, I ask you to turn that frown upside down. It is time to start being proactive and getting your life back on track.
The first thing you need to do is set a schedule out for yourself. No more sleeping in until noon and watching television until the wee hours of the morning. Most people who are employed are up and out the door in time to be at work by 8 a.m. Now that you do not have a job, what do you think your full-time position is? You guessed it, JOB HUNTING! Immediately, go see my friends at Select Staffing and fill out an application. Chances are they will be able to enter you in their database and offer you advice on how to proceed with your search. You must dedicate at least 6 hours a day to searching for a job. That doesn't mean just scouring the Internet; get out there and sell yourself. For tips and tricks on becoming a very successful networker, check out my post Networking Know-How.
Try to find a class in your area that will build your résumé and your skills. If you work in a warehouse, look into getting your certification in forklift driving. If you are in administrative or executive support, brush up your grammar and proofreading skills. Do something that will benefit you in the long run and help keep your brain from turning to mush.
Build your résumé while doing something good for others. Locate a charity whose cause is near and dear to your heart and start volunteering. This will give you satisfaction and look great to potential employers. Here you can gain professional and life skills, meet people that could help introduce you to new job openings, and also earn a great recommendation from your supervisor that can only shed a better light on your unemployment. I once volunteered at a local charity and after a few months of dedicated service, I was offered a paid position in their Career Center.
Surround yourself with positive EMPLOYED people. This is a very important piece of advice to follow. Typically, people who are unemployed will not be happy with their situations and will inevitably bring you down. They will be more likely to engage you in activities that do not mesh well with job hunting activities. People with jobs will be able to share advice and connect with other professionals, possibly resulting in your next job lead.
Cut out the junk food and take some time to get your body moving. Exercise is a great way to spend an hour of your day. Getting your blood pumping will increase your energy level and spread those happy endorphins through your body. It is proven to relieve stress and ward off depression. Healthy foods will give you more energy and make you feel much better, both physically and mentally. Remember if you put good in, you will get good out.
As tempting as it maybe, try to avoid reading the bad news about the job market and the economy; it will only bring you down. Switch over to reading uplifting books and inspiring stories to keep you in a chipper mood. Go by yourself to see movies that bring a smile to your face. It actually gives you a greater sense of independence. I definitely suggest you give it a try.
Set daily and weekly goals for yourself. These do not need to be huge or intricate. Day one can be as simple as waking up at 8 a.m. and apply to 3 viable jobs. If you do that every day for a week, you have 15 job applications and résumés out in the world. Now that is an accomplishment! As you achieve more, you will begin to feel better and more confident in your abilities. Just remember you won't get anywhere without putting one foot in front of the other.
Now that I have given a few tips, I want to hear from my readers what they find to be the most important advice for keeping your sanity while seeking employment. What things did you do while you were searching for a job?
Take care until next time,

POMFRET — A massive, fast-moving blaze that brought out crews from more than a dozen fire departments destroyed the pre-Civil War First Congregational Church of Pomfret on Saturday afternoon.
Officials were expected to remain on scene throughout the night dousing smoldering hot spots and sifting through debris at the 13 Church Road site across the street from Pomfret School.
State and local fire investigators were on hand Saturday to begin their analysis, but a cause was not known Saturday night. The church was unoccupied at the time of the blaze and there were no injuries, but Pomfret Fire Chief Derek May and witnesses painted a dramatic description of the incident.
Quinebaug Valley Emergency Communications dispatchers said the first call came in at 12:39 p.m.
"First units on scene reported heavy smoke and fire showing from the first floor of the structure. We made initial entry trying to confine it, but it had already made its way into the main body of the building," May said. "It got up into the steeple and cupola area and was running the whole length of the attic."
Kassandra Nielsen, of Woodstock, was driving her son to hockey practice about 1:30 p.m. Saturday when she noticed a pillar of smoke billowing out of a small window at the front of the church.
"Literally within half an hour, flames were coming out, and the steeple went down in about forty minutes," she said. "Tons of firefighters were already working on it, but it was already gone."
In less than an hour, the church's steeple had collapsed into the sanctuary, leaving a gaping, singed hole in the front of the building. A wooden chair — almost untouched by the flames — sat atop a pile of rubble inside.
And, as is the way of his parish, church Rev. Thomas Crumb said, members sprung into action as they tried to salvage what they could.
Officials at Pomfret School, which is across the street, have offered space to the church for the short term. Services are slated to take place there at 10:30 a.m. today.
"We're sad. We're shocked. But the church is the people, not the building. This is a historic building. It's irreplaceable. But the people who form the congregation are what the church is, and they will stand together by God's grace and move forward and go on," Crumb said.
Jane and William Hatzenberger, Brooklyn residents who attend the church, helped Crumb pull items out of the building.
Their hands covered in soot, William Hatzenberger held several collection plates as his wife stood and chatted with Crumb and other congregants.
It's a close-knit group of about 75 worshippers, and Jane Hatzenberger said she's confident members will band together in the coming weeks.
"It's very surreal. It really is," she said. "We're very, very sad, but we have a close church family, and we're going to support each other and get through this somehow. I'm just not sure how."
The church itself began in 1713, but the current building was erected in 1850 and has been a deep part of Pomfret since.
Donna Grant, who grew up three doors from the church but did not attend it, was overcome with emotion as backhoes showed up on the soggy green to methodically raze what was left on Saturday night.
"So many memories. It's just incredible. Oh my God," she said. "It's an icon in the community. I grew up on the hill and it was a landmark. Everybody with kids, you went for a walk to the white church and back."
