The American diner is a longtime staple in the cul-ture of home-away-from-home mealtime experiences, and Farmington resident Garrison Leykam has a full appreciation for all they have to offer.

Leykam has extensive ex-perience in traveling to, and evaluating, diners, hosting

and producing “Diners,” a show on Connecticut Public Television. Also, he hosts “Those Diner and Motorcycle Guys,” an on-line radio program. More re-cently, Leykam featured Main Street Diner of Plainville in his book, “Classic Diners of Connecticut.”

“Diners are just one of my passions,” the author said. “I have a warm spot for the real deal of diners.”

Main Street Diner, Leykam said, is one of those “real deals.”

“There’s no way I could not include it in the book,” Leykam said. “It was just one of those diners that symbol-izes, for me, what a classic is.”

The diner, located on West Main Street, is currently owned by Frank Loukoumis

and his wife, Kathy, who stepped on the scene in 2008.

“Pretty much at that time it was a disaster when we first went in there,” Frank Loukoumis said of the diner.

Projects included fixing up the colorful pink and tur-quoise neon sign outside and the stainless steel interior to make the building look as original as possible – a look noted by Leykam.

“To look at the diner with the neon and all the beauti-ful colors, it’s just wonderful and so classic,” Leykam said. “It represents a diner manu-facturer’s particular style.”

Leykam referred to a plaque on the inside of the diner that gave the manu-facturer information. It lists Master Builders as the build-ing’s architect in 1950.

Loukoumis said he is

happy to receive the “Classic Diners of Connecticut” rec-ognition from Leykam.

“ I a p p r e c i a t e i t , ” Loukoumis said. “We put a lot of hard work into bring-ing it back alive. A lot of these diners, people just let them go and there’s no way you can remodel them.”

Leykam said classic diners are a dying breed. A lot of ownerships simply fold.

“We’re in a time now where a lot of these diners are disappearing,” Leykam said. “We want to hang on to the experience of the diner.”

The experience, of course, includes the food, which Leykam thoroughly enjoys. He said he visits Main Street Diner at least a couple times a week, especially for Sunday breakfast.

“It’s about the closest place you feel to eating at home,” he said.

From Page 1

Loukoumis said his menu is quite extensive, covering everything from breakfast fare to paninis.

Leykam, a breakfast lover in particular, said he en-joys the Eggs Mulligan: two poached eggs with corned beef hash on an English muf-fin, covered with sauce and home fries.

“Man, that gets me every time,” Leykam said.

And, of course, there are the other customers; they complete the Main Street Diner experience.

“A lot of different kinds of people,” Loukoumis said. “Everyone from young, to older – the whole array of customers.”

“That’s what the sense of community is when you go into the diner,” Leykam said.

The String Quartet from the New Britain Symphony will perform at the Plainville Public Library Thursday, Oct. 17, 6:30 p.m. The program will be music from The Beatles, including “Eleanor Rigby,” “A Hard Day’s Night,” “When I’m Sixty Four” and nine other Beatles hits. The event is free and sponsored by the Friends of the Plainville Public Library.

Founded in 1948, the mission of the New Britain Symphony Orchestra is to perpetuate the rich tradition of live symphonic music by presenting concerts of a high caliber, performed by a professional orchestra, and to provide related education and enrichment activities, thereby contributing to the quality of life for all people in Central Connecticut.

The Plainville Citizen | plainvillecitizen.com Thursday, October 10, 2013 A3

The shutdown of the fed-eral government finally hit home in Plainville when opening ceremony traditions at the PARC walkathon were thrown off course.

In past years, the color guard from the U.S. Naval Reserve or U.S. Marines would parade the flags for the singing of the national anthem and “God Bless America” at the beginning of the event held to bene-fit PARC, Family Centered Services for People with Developmental Disabilities.

Matter of fact, this year the board of directors had approved the presentation of thank you plaques to the color guard scheduled to at-tend the Oct. 5 event held in Norton Park. Instead the plaques were accepted on the military’s behalf by several people who participate in the program, which was founded more than 50 years ago.

The Star-Studded 13th

Annual Helen Coughlin Walkathon attracted approx-imately 150 people, walkers and volunteers alike.

Board president Frank Robinson Sr. said attendance was less than in the past but many high school students

who have been avid sup-porters were either taking their SAT college admission exams or at the Plainville High School football game. Members of the PHS sports teams and Principal Steven LePage have previously been

among the crowd of walkers.The 2013 walkathon was

designed to celebrate local “celebrities.” Supporters pur-chased certificates to honor their favorite “celebrity” in-cluding “best grandmother,” “top honor roll student,”

“Special Olympics gold med-alist” and at least two dozen more designees.

However, PARC’s biggest “celebrity” is considered by many to be Helen Coughlin, a Plainville mother who started the organization to give par-ents and children with de-velopmental disabilities the opportunity to socialize and learn about special services and resources. Many mem-bers of the Coughlin family are still actively involved.

Meg (Coughlin) Fascendini said her brother Danny was 9 months old when their mother, Helen, was told by a pediatrician that her young-est son was “special.”

Helen had taken Danny to an on-call doctor for treat-ment of a rash. The physician told her that the baby “suf-fered” from Down syndrome and should be put in an insti-tution, as was often done 50 years ago.

“Danny has never ‘suffered’ from anything except when

No increase on sewer user ratesA t Mond ay ’s Tow n

Council meeting, mem-bers approved keeping the sewer user rate at the cur-rent $44.66 per 1,000 cubic feet, a 0 percent increase from last year.

Town Manager Robert E. Lee also recommended the council authorize a sewer user rate study, saying now would be an “opportune time for review.”

Lee said the anticipated expenditure for Fisca l Year ’14 would be about

$3, 365, 344. He said the user fund is usually a little higher because there are no direct backup funds for it should there be a need.

“There’s not as much revenue,” Lee said. “There could be unanticipated expenditures.”

Council members also approved Calciano & Stern Appraisal Associates to do appraisals for the homes on Robert Street Ext. for $1,900. The appraisal comes as Phase 2 of the Hazardous Mitigation Grant Program.

Lee said residents could

pursue their own individ-ual appraisal, but the town hiring one would “greatly speed up the application process” and also make the town eligible for 75 percent reimbursement.

Resident Art Screen, whose home is on the street where several houses were ravaged by Tropical Storm Irene in 2011, said he would lose a lot of money if he had to hire his own appraisal.

“The only way for me to succeed is with a group ap-praisal,” Screen said.

In other business, coun-cil members also approved awarding a bid of $28,870 to order components for a splash pad at Paderewski Park to replace the wading pool. Ordering the compo-nents now would likely give the Parks and Recreation Department a leg up on getting the pad installed for next summer.

At the beginning of the meeting councilors took a few minutes to recog-nize council members Dan Hurley and Rich Drezek,

both Republicans, who have opted not to run for re-election. Hurley, who has served for six years on the council, has chosen to finish his college degree and study theology.

As is tradition for retiring council members, Hurley and Drezek were both of-fered a wooden chair as a gift.

“I am grateful to the peo-ple of Plainville for having elected me three times to this council,” Hurley said. “I feel very confident I have given back to you what you asked of me.”

Drezek will have com-pleted his f irst and only term come retirement. He joked if he knew he would be recognized, he probably wouldn’t have come.

“Just like if I knew I was gonna get elected, I proba-bly wouldn’t have ran,” he said with a laugh.

“These are two men that have given signif i-cant time to the town,” Council Chairwoman Kathy Pugliese said. “They have been very dedicated repre-sentatives of the people of Plainville.”

The Metacomet Trail: A hidden gemWithin the next couple

weeks as the weather cools and fall activities commence, our calendars will become full and bustling, and the laze of summer will fade. However, autumn in Connecticut has something unique to offer to us: a challenge for tranquility.

The Metacomet Trail, roughly 50-miles-long, is a historic part of Connecticut that offers its citizens natural beauty and peace that is espe-cially rare during the eventful autumn time.

The trail runs through 12 Connecticut towns includ-ing Meriden, Southington, Plainville, and New Britain, and offers scenic views of Hubbard Park of the Hanging Hills, Crescent Lake, and

Ragged Mountain. Established in 2009 as a part

of New England’s National Scenic Trail, a 215-mile long trail from Long Island Sound to the Massachusetts/New Hampshire border, the Metacomet provides an un-expectedly diverse array of natural features including waterfalls, rivers, and amaz-ing heights – all so close to our towns and cities.

The accessibility of the Metacomet Trail is what makes it such a practical es-cape from our daily lives. And despite a few steep cliffs it has something to offer even the least-experienced hiker. Plus, the trail is monitored by the Connecticut Forest and Park Association (CFPA), which is

Trail

responsible for the upkeep of the trails and monitoring of the area for hikers who may need assistance.

According to Clare Cain, Trail Stewardship Director of CFPA, “The trail is main-tained by volunteers—their commitment and hard work help keep this tremendous recreational resource avail-able to the public at no charge.”

And for those who have al-ready discovered the beauty of the trail, it’s a no-brainer that it’s underappreciated.

“The Metacomet Trail is Connecticut’s hidden gem,” claims Ross Hart, a Plantsville resident and vol-unteer for the Connecticut Forest and Parks Association.

“It traverses through steep trap rock to some of the best views in the state, and we are lucky enough to have it right in our backyard.”

As the leaves change color and the days become shorter, we are left with little time to enjoy the natural beauty that is so easily available to us. Take the challenge, and let the Metacomet Trail lead you into tranquility and away from the hassle of schedule. Be a part of the astounding historical, natural beauty that exists all around you; all you must do is take the time.

For more information on the Metacomet Trail, including hiking ideas and the natural features, an interactive map is available at newenglandtrail.org.

the Yankees don’t make the play-offs,” Fascendini said during her opening remarks.

Incensed by the attitudes of some people, misinformation and lack of services available for parents and their children, Helen Coughlin launched PARC.

“All these wonderful moms would get together because they knew their children were special,” Fascendini said. “We thank you for remembering our mothers.”

State Rep. Elizabeth “Betty” Boukus also spoke during the opening ceremonies, as she has for many years.

“This program addresses a wonderful need” in the commu-nity, she said. “You recognize when a good organization is a great organization.”

Robinson stepped up to thank the many generous sponsors.

Plainville Choral Society sing-ers led participants in the singing of the national anthem.

With that, the crowd stepped out to walk multiple laps around Norton Park. Afterward many stopped to sample any of 12 pots of chili or have a hot dog.

Robinson said he was very ap-preciative of the continued sup-port by the community, residents and businesses. “Another great year,” he said as he and other volunteers cleaned up after the walkathon.

PARC’s next major fundraiser will be held Saturday, Nov. 23, 4:30 to 7:30 p.m., at Laurel Lanes, 136 New Britain Ave., Plainville. For more information about the event or PARC, visit the web-site www.plainvillearc.org or the Facebook page.

Health

A good night’s rest helps you stay healthy and alert. But many older people don’t sleep well.

If you’re always sleepy, it may be time to see a doctor. You shouldn’t wake up every day feeling tired.

Sleep and aging

Older adults need about the same amount of sleep as young adults — 7 to 9 hours each night — but they tend to go to sleep earlier and get up earlier than when they were younger. Older people may nap more during the day, which can sometimes make it hard to fall asleep at night.

There are two kinds of

sleep — REM (rapid eye movement) sleep and non-REM sleep. We dream mostly during REM sleep and have the deepest sleep during non-REM sleep. As people get older, they spend less time in deep sleep, which may be why older people are often light sleepers.

Source of sleep problemsThere are many reasons

why older people may not get enough sleep at night.

Feeling sick or being in pain can make it hard to sleep. Napping during the day can disrupt sleep at night. Some medicines can keep you awake. No matter the reason, if you don’t get a good night’s sleep, the next day you may:

--Be irritable.--Have memory problems

or be forgetful.--Feel depressed.--Have more falls or

accidents.

--Feel very sleepy during the day.

Do you have insomnia?Insomnia is the most com-

mon sleep problem in adults age 60 and older. People with insomnia have trouble falling and staying asleep. Insomnia can last for days, months or even years. If you’re having trouble sleeping, you may:

--Take a long time to fall asleep.

--Wake up many times in the night.

--Wake up early and be un-able to get back to sleep.

--Wake up tired.--Feel very sleepy during

the day.There are many causes of

insomnia. Some of them you can control, but others you can’t. For example, if you are excited about a new activity or worrying over your bills, you may have trouble sleep-ing. Sometimes insomnia may

be a sign of other problems. Or it could be a side effect of a medication or an illness.

Often, being unable to sleep becomes a habit. Some peo-ple worry about not sleeping even before they get into bed. This may even make insom-nia worse.

Older adults who have trouble sleeping may use more over-the-counter sleep aids. Using prescription med-icines for a short time might help. But remember, med-icines aren’t a cure for in-somnia. Developing healthy habits at bedtime may help you get a good night’s sleep.

work.“We live in a digital world.

The use of laptops in our school will only better pre-pare our kids for tomorrow,” said Plainville High School Principal Steven LePage.

Last year, various devices were investigated to see which would allow the most interaction and collabora-tion between teachers and students.

Once it was determined that Chromebooks were the best option, a successful pi-lot program was conducted, with 20 devices, which the students used all day for the final half of the 2012-13 school year.

Science teacher Leanne Nolan, one of the piloting teachers, said there has been a positive response to the laptops.

“We can do more interac-tive things in the classroom and don’t have to reserve computer lab time to do so,” Nolan said. “We can be more advanced and ask higher or-der questions, and the kids can conduct their research right then and there.”

Nolan added that it also aids in the process when kids are absent. They can now make up assignments easier because they have access to the information and can communicate with teachers.

The laptops were pur-chased for $275 apiece and were funded through changes made in the school’s technology plan, which re-

distributed money from other technology sources, such as the computer labs, which would no longer re-quire expensive upgrades, and by becoming more en-ergy efficient in the school.

“We did simple things such as shutting down the AC and lights in areas that were not in use. Becoming more energy efficient in our building has saved us hun-dreds of thousands of dol-lars to help offset budgetary restraints,” LePage said.

Parents were given the option to purchase insur-ance for their child’s lap-top at $100 for a two-year period, with seniors dis-counted at $50.

LePage said all repairs can be done in-house through the IT department, and ex-tra laptops are available to borrow -- up to three times a year without a penalty -- if someone forgets theirs.

The use of laptops re-quired the school to revamp some of its policies, which now, of course, allow elec-tronics in school, including cell phones, with usage re-stricted to study hall, lunch and in between classes.

Andrew Rottier, a se-nior, and Webmaster for the school website, said there has been a positive reaction from his classmates, and he believes the laptop expe-rience will benefit the stu-dents beyond high school.

“Everyone uses comput-ers in college, so it’s a great opportunity for us to get ahead and comfortable with using them with our school

work and assignments , now,” Rottier said.

The school has addressed various concerns, such as having a system in place to monitor cheating and, while not mandatory, offered in-expensive wifi alternatives for students without wifi at home.

LePage said parents have responded positively to the laptops. He said, with every-one now having the same equipment, it has helped to “level the playing field for students” technology-wise.

“We’re on the right track. The kids are better off for having this opportunity, and it will only keep mov-ing our students forward,” LePage said.

M i d d l e S c h o o l o f Plainville eighth graders also received laptops this year to get them prepared for the digital high school experience.

FaithRev. Thomas Hooker feted with eccentric parade

The Rev. Thomas Hooker is generally recognized as the founder of Connecticut and his statue is on the grounds of the Old State House in Hartford. Since there were no photos or portraits of him, the sculp-tor used pictures of various descendants as a guide in creating his likeness.

Hooker was well educated at Cambridge but soon ran afoul of ecclesiastical author-ities in England. He wanted to purify the church - hence the word Puritan - and felt that the Reformation there had not gone far enough in removing liturgical and creedal accretions that, in his view, had corrupted the Church over the centuries. Like many other Puritans he first fled to Holland, where religious freedom flourished, and then immigrated in 1633 to the new Massachusetts Bay Colony. He lived in New Towne (later renamed Cambridge) where he be-came pastor of its historic First Parish Church.

Soon he was involved in a heated dispute over whom should be permitted to vote in matters effecting both church and state. Hooker ar-gued for universal manhood suffrage, at odds with John Cotton, an influential Boston minister, who insisted that only faithful church mem-bers who owned property were qualified. As a result, in 1636 Hooker and about 100 followers traveled west and settled in Hartford. Soon the towns of Wethersfield and Windsor were organized, and in 1639 freemen in the three communities ratified the “Fundamental Orders of Connecticut.” Some histori-ans have declared this doc-ument to be the first written constitution known to his-tory and a major cornerstone in the gradual development

of American democracy. Its impact upon our na-tional Constitution, adopted nearly a century and a half later, helps explain why Connecticut is known as the Constitution State.

These early Puritans were affiliated, of course. with what we know today as Congregationalism, and in many Connecticut communi-ties a Congregational church, often constructed of wood, painted white, with a steeple pointing heavenward, stands alongside the village green. These edifices are a con-tinuous reminder of those early settlers who coura-geously crossed the treach-erous Atlantic in fragile vessels nearly 400 years ago to freely practice their faith. Sadly, they were not always tolerant of religions differ-ing from their own. Even so, the Puritans bravely faced the dangers and rigors of frontier life and established, however flawed, the princi-ple of government of, by and for the people. The large ma-jority of these congregations, each independent, joined with the Evangelical and Reformed Church in 1957 to form the United Church of Christ, regarded by many as the most progressive of the mainline Protestant denominations.

Humor now character-izes Hartford’s observance of Thomas Hooker Day each autumn. The parade in the afternoon has been described by one local ob-server as “hands down the weirdest, most made-up, rag-tag, cut loose, high-spirited, Mardi Gras bead and candy filled parade … to celebrate ourselves, our city, our cre-ativity and our people.”

The 2013 parade is sched-uled for Saturday, Oct. 19, 2 to 4 p.m.

A T-shirt sold in the Old State House reflects the waggishness of the occa-sion. It reads: “Hartford was

founded by a Hooker.” How ironic that a Puritan minis-ter is being used to kickstart such a worldly celebration.

The parade is sponsored by the Hartford Business Improvement District.

Thomas Hooker’s descen-dants have included many distinguished citizens. A son, Samuel Hooker, became the minister in Farmington. A grandson, John Hooker, served as a judge in the state’s supreme court and as Speaker of the Connecticut Assembly. Another grand-son, James Hooker, married the daughter of William Leete, moved to Guilford, and also served as Speaker of the Assembly. A grand-daughter, Mary Hooker, mar-ried the Rev. James Pierpont. Their daughter, Sarah, married the famed Rev. Jonathan Edwards. Other di-rect descendants of Thomas Hooker include Timothy Dwight, Aaron Burr, William

Gillette, J. P. Morgan, and William Howard Taft.

My interest in Thomas Hooker has been heightened by at least three personal connections. My mother was of old Puritan stock, raised a Congregationalist, and joined the local Methodists after her marriage to my dad. A set of our ances-tral grandparents, Thomas and Margaret Bliss (Mom’s mother’s maiden surname was Bliss), lived in Hartford during some of the Hooker years, and Thomas Bliss, Sr. and Jr., both were among the original land proprietors there.

Finally, after I officially retired, I served as pastor at five different parishes. One of them (from 2004-2005) was South Congregational Church in Hartford, or-ganized in 1670 when 32 members of Center Church,

E v e r y b o d y k n o w s Christopher Columbus dis-covered America. In 1866, various interested groups promoted the notion that Oct. 12 be designated as a hol-iday to honor Columbus the explorer. In 1971, Congress officially proclaimed the sec-ond Monday in October as Columbus Day.

Except in states with sig-nificant Scandinavian popu-lations, not so many people acknowledge that Leif Erikson Day is celebrated on Oct. 9. It is not a federal public holiday, but in past years the President of the United States and gov-ernors of several states have, on request, issued proclama-tions commemorating the day and praising Erikson’s explorations.

Ethnic-cultural- frater-nal organizations like lodges of Sons of Norway and Vasa Order of America are the most likely groups to hold modest Leif Erikson Day celebrations. A meal and a speaker are typ-ical. Occasionally members wear national costumes.

We do not know for sure just when or where Erikson, an Icelander of Norwegian descent, put his Viking ships ashore. The best guess is that it was about the year 1000 somewhere on the northeast-

ern coast of North America. It is known that within a few years a camp with as many as 100 men and women was set up and lasted about three years. The explorations are reported in the Icelandic Sagas.

In 1964 Helge and Anne Stine Ingstad found arti-facts including a spinning whorl that was distinctly Scandinavian on the northern tip of Newfoundland. Carbon dating ascertained their ap-proximate age. The site at L’ Anse aux Meadows was named a World Heritage site by UNESCO in 1978. Visitors are welcome.

Birgitta Wallace, research archeologist emerita from Parks Canada, writes about the continuing search for clues the Vikings have left on North America. Items found so far should quell any doubt that northern Europeans in Viking ships arrived about 500 years before the Nina, the Pinta and the Santa Maria.

There is a really bad joke that has circulated among Scandinavians. It goes like this: Columbus has just ar-rived. Indians (indigenous people or Native Americans) are there to greet him. One of them says to Columbus, “Er det du, Colombo?”

Rough translation from Norwegian — Is it you, Columbus?

WALLINGFORD (AP) — While Connecticut embraced setting up a health insurance exchange and expanding Medicaid eligibility faster than many other places, the state has lagged behind when it comes to modernizing how health care is delivered to patients.

But with the new health care overhaul law and a growing push in the state to cut costs while improving patient care, Connecticut is now moving toward a stream-lined and better-coordinated, patient-centered system of medical treatment.

“Connecticut has been a little bit slow to adopt many of these things, but I see it

happening very quickly over the next five years,” said Ken Lalime, CEO of the new non-profit health insurance com-pany HealthyCT.

The Wallingford-based HealthyCT offers small group and individual plans in the state’s new online insurance exchange, known as Access Health CT, as well as outside the exchange.

Using money from a loan from the federal government, HealthyCT is providing hun-dreds of thousands of dol-lars to 75 medical practices across Connecticut, repre-senting a total of 440 clini-cians. The grants will enable them to become certified as a patient-centered prac-tice. They’re also referred to as patient-centered med-ical homes, a concept that’s

been embraced in neigh-boring Rhode Island and Massachusetts.

Once certified, these med-ical practices will take a new and more holistic team ap-proach to treating their pa-tients and anticipating their individual needs. For exam-ple, a primary care practice would plan ahead and have other practitioners, such as a diabetic nurse clinician or nutritionist, on hand for a pa-tient’s appointment.

“So when the patient comes through the door, we manage that event differently than we managed it before,” Lalime said. “You are getting the right care at the right time, at the right place — for the first time, more often.”

The trout are on their way. The DEEP says that they have began their autumn stocking of trout, which is

good news for local fish-ermen, espe-cially those that like to fish our own Black Pond in Meriden.

The on-going trout stocking

will continue right through mid-October with about 29,000 trophy (greater than 12 inches in length) and adult (9-10 inch trout) going into 23 lakes and ponds and 14 rivers and streams, including 12 of the Trout Management Areas (TMA) and eight trout parks.

As most of you already know, trout parks are main-tained to enhance fishing op-portunities for families and novice anglers and are easily accessible with picnic areas and other amenities nearby. Properly used, they are great spots to take a family to during these early autumn days while the foliage is in a change to fall mode.

And, sad to say, there are a few shallow sports that use these trout parks to prove to the world what great fisher-men they are because they seemingly have the ability to catch and release these newly stocked trout at will, while some of the begin-ning young fishermen look on knowing they would be happy to simply catch their two trout limit.

Approximately 29,000 adult trout will be released this fall, of which 12,800 are trophy-sized brown trout and the remaining 6,200 trout will be adult rainbow trout.

The Farmington TMA has already received its annual Labor Day stocking with the release of 2,000 large brown trout just prior to the Labor Day weekend.

These fish were stocked into sections of the Farmington River TMA area from the Goodwin (Hogback) Dam to the old

bridge abutments just below the Route 219 Bridge in New Hartford to the Route 177 Bridge in Unionville.

Among other TMAs be-ing stocked this fall are two areas on the Housatonic River, which is a beautiful spot to fish in the autumn. The DEEP will be releasing a total of 9,000 trout into the Housy: 1,000 large brown trout, 5,000 rainbow trout and 3,000 “yearling” (small 5-7 inch) trout and 2,500 rainbow trout going into the Bull’s Bridge TMA section of the Housatonic River.

The DEEP says that the large brown trout are in-tended to augment the pop-ulation of holdover trout in the river this fall, while the rainbow trout and yearling browns should enhance the holdover population next spring.

For those of you who might not know, the Housatonic River is a very popular fly-fishing river and it also holds a decent popu-lation of small-mouth bass. I have seen hardcore fly fish-ermen on the Housatonic in the dead of winter fishing for trout. It is that popular.

A number of years ago, while on a bear hunting trip to the Grand Lake Stream area of Maine, I ran into a Maine fly fishing guide. I was amazed when he told me that the Housatonic River in Connecticut was on his “Bucket List” of best places to fly fish in New England.

Fishermen are reminded that fishing in all TMA during the fall is catch-and-release only. Trout parks have a two-fish-per-day creel limit. Fishing regula-tions constantly vary on the many bodies of water and the DEEP advises fishermen to use their 2013 CT Angler’s Guide to make sure they are in compliance with the vary-ing regulations.

Trout parks that will be stocked are Black Rock Pond, Chatfield Hollow, Day Pond, Mohegan Park Pond, Natchaug River, Valley Falls Park Pond, Wharton Brook and Wolfe Park.

Trout Management Areas (TMA) to be stocked are Bull’s Bridge

on the Housatonic River, Farmington River, Hammonasset River, Housatonic River, Mianus River, Mill River, Moosup River, Salmon River, Saugatuck River, Sleeping Giant (Mill River), Willimantic River and the Yantic River.

Other rivers and streams are the Hammonasset River, Natchaug River, Salmon River and the Shetucket River. They are listed twice because there are areas in these rivers that have differ-ent regulations.

Lakes and ponds that will be stocked are Amos Lake, Beach Pond, Bigelow Pond, Black Pond (Meriden), Black Pond (Woodstock), Cedar Lake, Coventry Lake, Crystal Lake, Gardner Lake, Highland Lake, Long Pond, Mashapaug Lake, Mohawk Pond, Mount Tom Pond, Pattaconk Lake, Quonnipaug Lake, Rogers Lake, Squantz Pond, Stillwater Pond, Tyler Pond, Wauregan Reservoir, West Hill Pond and West

Side Pond.For the locations and

regulations of any of the above fishing areas that will be stocked with trout this autumn, go to the 2013 CT Angler’s Guide for all the in-formation you will need. Hey, you didn’t expect me to make it too easy for you did you?

Atlantic Salmon Stocking

The Inland Fisheries Division of the DEEP has also been busy with their Atlantic salmon stocking program here in Connecticut.

Peter Aarrestad, direc-tor of the DEEP’s Inland Fisheries, said, “The Atlantic salmon are renowned for their beauty and size as well as their fighting ability. The Atlantic salmon recreational fishery has become quite popular and catching one of these large leapers provides a thrilling experience for anglers.”

While I have yet to expe-rience the thrill of hooking up with one of these DEEP-stocked salmon, I am aware

of their thrill of catching them. Many years ago, there was a pay-to-fish spot in Monroe called Loch Day Hatchery that had Coho and Atlantic salmon in their pond as well as trout.

The thrill of a salmon tak-ing a fly or a lure is some-thing you will never forget once you experience it.

Loch Day also supplied trout and salmon to any or-ganization that wanted to purchase them for stocking purposes, and the Meriden Rod & Gun Club had them in their trout pond for a couple of years.

At that time, the Meriden club was also involved in a city-sponsored stocking program. We stocked some Coho salmon into Crescent Lake up in Giuffrida Park here in Meriden.

Unfortunately, the owner of Loch Day Hatchery and Fishing Pond sold out to a private owner and the busi-ness was discontinued. It’s

Autumn

really too bad that more salmon fishing opportu-nities are not available to Connecticut anglers.

However, there are places in Connecticut that you can fish for these salmon. The Inland Fisheries has already released 300 salmon into the Naugatuck River and Mount Tom Pond and will have re-leased another 300 salmon into the Shetucket River and Crystal Lake in Ellington as you read this.

To their credit, even though the Connecticut River Atlantic Salmon Restoration Program was discontinued in 2012 be-cause of storm damage to the hatchery and low returns of salmon each year, the salmon stocking still prevails. The DEEP has developed a new “Legacy Program” to main-tain this popular recreational fishery and to also preserve the unique and potentially important strain of south-ern Atlantic salmon that had been developed during the restoration effort.

The group of salmon that were recently released weighed 2-6 pounds each with more stockings yet to come.

In the Naugatuck, Housatonic and Shetucket rivers, from Oct. 1 through Nov. 30, angling for Atlantic salmon is restricted to catch-and-release only. From Dec. 1, to March 31, 2014, the daily limit for Atlantic salmon is one.

During the open season on the rivers, the legal method for taking a salmon is limited to angling using a single fly or an artificial lure with a single free-swinging hook. No additional weight can be added to the line above the fly or lure.

Also, from Oct. 1 to March 31, fishing for other species in the designated Atlantic Salmon Broodstock Areas is restricted to the gear legal for Atlantic salmon.

Wild Turkey SeasonThe fall firearms sea-

son for wild turkey in Connecticut opened last week. Hunting hours are from one-half hour before sunrise to sunset and the sea-son ends Oct. 31.

There is a two-bird, either sex bag limit on private and a one-bird, either sex bag limit on state lands. You must have a firearm hunting license and a Fall Firearms Turkey Permit.

For fall turkey hunting

Reform

Once these 75 practices are trained and certified — a process that takes about eight months — Lalime esti-mates that about 40 percent of the state’s primary care doctors will operate using a patient-centered approach in Connecticut.

“I think 10 years from now, there will be much more in-tegration of care, and care coordination will be the stan-dard,” Lalime said. “And con-sumers should be looking for practices that actually func-tion that way.”

Such an approach, Lalime said, should eventually re-duce the amount of times a patient might visit a hospi-tal emergency room or inap-propriately go to a specialist, both costly scenarios. Lalime estimates that the price of one emergency room visit, about $2,000, would cover the cost of 20 coordinated of-fice visits, while the cost of a typical hospital visit, about $30,000, would cover 300 co-ordinated office visits.

Unlike managed health care, where insurance com-panies tend to be the gate-keepers that decide which

procedures to cover, this new concept “puts the pa-tient at the hub” while the practitioners and the pa-tient’s primary care doctor are the spokes, Lalime said. The state of Connecticut has received a $2.8 million grant from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to develop an application for a $45 million grant to design a new health payment system in the state that will support coordinated patient-centered care.

In Fairfield County, a new group is trying to make it easier for solo practitioners to provide patient-centered care. St. Vincent’s Health Partners Inc. is a new phy-sician-hospital organization created in 2011 by St. Vincent’s Medical Center in Bridgeport and a group of doctors trying to determine how best to re-spond to federal health care reform efforts.

The concept allows the member doctors to remain in-dependent but have access to resources available for large medical groups, such as elec-tronic health records, patient management tools, group purchasing discounts and data sharing and quality man-agement. Tracking systems will make sure people don’t get duplicative tests or pro-cedures they don’t need and will remind them of upcom-ing appointments and tests.

Thomas Raskauskas, the organization’s president and CEO, said a lot of indepen-dent practitioners are busy and find it overwhelming to understand all the complexi-ties of health care reform, and they don’t have the money to handle patient population management.

“This allows them to stay in solo practice without hav-ing to join a group,” he said.

Sports

Boys soccerAfter starting the season with a per-

fect 5-0 record, the Blue Devils have faltered as of late, going 1-3 in their last four games, and 0-2 last week.

With shutout losses to Berlin (2-0) and RHAM (1-0) recently, Plainville has seemingly forgotten how to put the ball in the back of the net.

After outscoring their opponents 12-3 over the first five games, the Blue Devils have since been outscored 8-5, and 8-1 in their losses.

The slump hasn’t affected Alex Bawol in goal. The senior netminder recorded 14 saves, combined, against Berlin and RHAM.

With the second half of the season set to begin, the Blue Devils look to garner the same amount of success as they did in the first half. To do so, though, players such as seniors Shane Pugliese and Jeffrey Keegan, as well as Quentin Lux, will have to redis-cover the offensive spark that made Plainville so formidable early on.

FootballSince beginning the season with a

convincing 28-12 victory over Weaver, Plainville has gone winless, includ-ing a tough 21-20 loss to Northwest Catholic last week.

The Blue Devils dropped to 1-2 on the year with the loss.

After being shut out 33-0 against Platt in Week 2, Plainville put up a much stronger fight against Northwest Catholic.

The locals led 20-15 at halftime. Unfortunately for the boys in blue, they couldn’t muster anything offen-sively in the second half.

The Blue Devils will continue to lean heavily on the senior leadership of Brian Poetzsch, Jake Stefanski, Kevin Bielawski, Jason and Matthew Monteleone, and Jeff Ziegenhagen.

Plainville looks to get back to .500 Friday night against East Catholic (2-2).

Girls soccerThe Lady Blue Devils haven’t been

quite as successful as their male counterparts on the pitch this season, but they have been more predictable.

When the girls score big, they win.Thus was the case last week, as the

Plainville girls went 1-1, including a 3-1 loss to Berlin and a 6-0 thrashing of Rockville.

The Lady Blue Devils, 4-5 heading into this week, have had no issue in scoring big. In their four victories,

the girls outscored their opponents 21-5.

Meanwhile, in their five losses, the locals were outscored 16-3.

“Against Rockville, I thought we had very good ball possession, very good crosses and shuffling,” PHS coach Leszek Wrona said. “I was very pleased with their performance.”

Some of Plainville’s top offensive threats have been senior Danielle Dixon, sophomores Stephanie Martino and Natalie Zajaczkowski, and freshman Melissa Lux.

Yet none of these girls could match what teammate Danielle Angelillo accomplished last week.

A senior forward midfielder, Angelillo recorded a hat trick against Rockville, and has been a consistent threat the entire year.

VolleyballThe Lady Blue Devils have gotten

a taste of what success feels like, and they are hungry for more.

While the locals posted a modest 1-2 record last week, they already have doubled their win total from last season and are still in the hunt for a state tournament berth.

The Lady Blue Devils headed into this week with a mark of 4-6.

After a difficult 3-1 loss to rival Berlin, and a 3-0 loss to Maloney –the 11th ranked team in the state, Plainville was able to defeat Newington in straight sets.

“The negative emotion…might have been our biggest battle this week, with the girls trying to build and work through the frustration of los-ing,” PHS coach Steve Compson said.

Sometimes, though, playing angry brings out the best in athletes.

Compson saw that to be the case with sophomore Martha Boltoromiejuk.

“Her attitude alone is infectious,” the coach said. “She still has a lot to learn about the game, but she loves to attack, to hit, and to learn. [Against Maloney] we saw a glimpse of what she will mean to the program in the future.”

Cross CountryThe strong dual meet seasons for

both the boys and girls team con-tinued last week, as both Plainville squads went 1-1, bringing their second records to 4-2.

The girls defeated Maloney hand-edly, 15-50, and dropped a tough one to Bristol Central, 15-49.

The boys also had success against Maloney, winning 19-34. Unfortunately, they too couldn’t keep up with Bristol Central and lost, 20-43.

Plainville junior Omar Abdelsame won the boys race with a 5K time of 17:48.

Aside from Abdelsame, the boys team has received solid, season-long performances from juniors Jacob Dallas and Neahmiah “Nino” Freitas.

The girls have been led by se-niors Delaney Russell and Nikki-Ann Duncan, as well as sophomores Maddy Ware and Annie Florence.

Swimming/divingWhile Plainville has some tal-

ented individuals in the pool, the Lady Blue Devils have had a difficult time putting together strong group performances.

After another so-so stretch, during which the girls went 1-2, at press time the team owned a record of 2-7 head-ing into the back end of the regular season.

After getting off to a rough start last week with losses to Bristol Eastern (94-78) and Sacred Heart (92-80), the Lady Blue Devils were able to scrape out a close victory at home against the combined team of Enfield, Somers and Fermi, 86-84.

While the possibility of a winning record is gone, and the odds of having a .500 season are slim, the Plainville girls are still focused on their per-sonal goals and times as the champi-onship meets draw near.

Seniors Megan Farmer, Ashely Walker and Morgan LaCombe have been impressive this season, as have junior Megan Delana and sophomore Sydney McGough.

The Plainville Sports Hall of Fame welcomed six individuals and one de-serving team into its pan-theon Saturday at Nuchies Restaurant in Forestville.

The six: Brian Verrastro, Darren Raymond, Rhonda Snyder Wisniewski, Roger Roy, Ted Christopher, and Robert O’Dea –- who re-ceived the John E. Toffolon Distinguished Service Award, were all on hand.

The 1937 state champion Blue Devil football team was also enshrined as members of the 15th Hall of Fame class.

“We have a very well-rounded class this year,” said Keith D’Amato, chairman of the Hall of Fame selection committee. “It’s mind bog-

gling some of the accomplish-ments you see.”

The inductees made names for themselves in football, soccer, swimming, wrestling, indoor track and field, basket-ball, outdoor track and field, baseball, softball, even car racing.

“My first thoughts were pride and awe to be inducted into the Hall of Fame,” said Raymond, a standout base-ball and basketball player. “It was something I never really anticipated, and I was just floored when I heard the news.”

Raymond (Old Dominion) was one of three induct-ees who earned a schol-arship to compete at the collegiate Division I level. Verrastro (Rhode Island) and Wisniewski (Layfayette) were the others.

All-State, all-conference, state finalist, and state cham-pion accolades were garnered by the Hall of Fame Class of 2013.

A 1959 graduate of PHS, Roy has seen the landscape of high school sports change over the years, and not neces-sarily in a positive way.

“This is more of a distant observation, but I think there is more of an emphasis on winning nowadays,” Roy said. “Don’t get me wrong; when we played, we wanted to win. But when we got beat, we got beat. It was for the love of the game. Today, I think there’s much more emphasis on winning.”

Roy cherishes the memo-ries he has playing alongside his close friends at PHS, and was touched by the Hall of Fame honor.

“[The hall] is not an open society; not everyone gets in, and I’m very humbled by that. It’s very important to me,” he said.

For the 1937 PHS football team, the Hall of Fame honor was long overdue. Not only did the team go undefeated en route to winning the state championship, it surrendered no points during the run.

“I think bringing in the ’37 team is huge for the Hall,” said D’Amato. “If that team played today, the recognition they would receive through the press would have been astronomical. Back in ‘37, no-body knew about it.”

While most members of the Hall of Fame Class of 2013 were busy dominating their respective sports, O’Dea was more than happy to simply be a part of the action.

He loved the atmosphere that surrounded Plainville sports.

It’s O’Dea’s dedication to the Blue Devils off the field -- not his in-game contributions -- that got him the Toffolon Service Award.

“I was never the great-est athlete, but I was always around,” said O’Dea, a high school basketball referee for 43 years, and a collegiate soc-cer referee for 38. “Plainville has always been good to me. I’ve been involved in both athletics and the fire depart-ment, as well as the funeral service … My life seems to be in service.

“It’s nice to be recognized by your peers. I’m very proud and very happy to be getting inducted.”

Plainville HOF welcomes six individuals, teamBy Nate BrownThe Plainville Citizen

On Sept. 26, New York Yankees manager Joe Girardi visited the mound, where his players were already wait-ing, and signaled for a right-handed pitcher in the top of the eighth inning during the

Yankees’ final home game of the season, against the Tampa Bay Rays.

And just like he’s done since his Major League de-but in 1995, Mariano Rivera trotted out from the bullpen at Yankee Stadium, accom-panied by his signature tune, Metallica’s “Enter Sandman.”

The fans in Yankee Stadium knew what to ex-pect from Mo every time he emerged from that bullpen, so the cheers were always there.

The Yankees were already eliminated from playoff con-tention Sept. 26, and they would lose to the Rays 4-0, but even so, the cheers were a little louder this time.

This particular moment meant everything for a player who has firmly cemented his legacy into the history books of baseball, for all the fans who watched him over the years, and for all the players who had the incredible honor to share the field with him or face him on the mound.

I didn’t get to watch Mo’s final game live, but I watched the clips of it afterwards, and I humored myself by look-ing up the play-by-play to see what it said when Mo exited the mound:

“Pitching change: Matt Daley replaces Mariano Rivera.

Coaching visit to mound.On-field delay.”Just a simple “on-field de-

lay” to denote the final exit of the greatest of all time.

It didn’t even matter if you were a Yankees fan. Heck, even Red Sox fans

tipped their caps and wished the best for Mo, a guy who showed up and simply did his job with near-infallible execution.

When I was younger, be-fore I even understood any-thing about how baseball really worked, before I even understood who Mo was, I would see that guy wearing No. 42, pinstripes.

Before I even understood why it was that the Yankees were going to win whatever game I was watching, I knew it was going to happen. I knew what to expect before I even knew what to expect.

And then I grew older, and he was still there, piping cut-ters across home plate. Every appearance was like this in-credible work of art where each pitch was a brush stroke – so delicate and precise, yet the end result was this powerful message that would shake your perspective on everything you thought you knew about baseball.

How did he do that again? Why do these batters never catch on? What the heck is this guy’s secret?

You’d think after 19 years in the majors, hitters would have figured out the mystery behind that cutter, but they didn’t, and even in his final

season Mo’s output didn’t change.

He put up 44 saves this year out of 51 opportunities. Over that 19-year stretch, 652 saves out of 732 chances. Walks? 286. Strikeouts? 1,173 (pretty nice ratio, if you ask me).

In his career, he’s never blown more than nine save opportunities in a season, and those nine happened in 1997, where he still made 43.

So it’s no wonder, really, that as Mo traveled to differ-ent stadiums this season, he was lavished with praise and gifts from other organizations – yes, even the Red Sox.

You likely won’t see an-other player in any other sport receive the recognition he did throughout the year. Wayne Gretzky didn’t get it. Heck, Michael Jordan didn’t even get it.

Gretzky and Jordan are recognized as the greatest at their sport, and hey, there are other great baseball play-ers, too. But then you think about Rivera’s situation; he’s a closer, so that means he comes in at the end of the game to finish the other pitchers’ jobs. He’s the last one the opposing batters see,

Thanks for the memories, MoBy Julie Sopchak The Plainville Citizen

As fair-goers walk through the midway of one of the fairs in the area, in the deepening dusk lit by the lights of the carnival and perfumed with the smell of fried food, car-nival worker Perry Graham calls out to them, inviting them to play his game.

Perry Graham has been to many of the agricultural fairs in the area as a carnival game worker. During opening day of the North Haven Fair Sept. 5, he was at his booth, a

game where contestants tried to throw a basketball into a hoop a few feet away. A sign nestled among the stuffed an-imal prizes said every child was guaranteed to win.

“Come on, Dad! Let him play!” he told a father with his young son. They walked over, the man gave Graham a few dollars. The boy missed the first few times, but Graham gave him a few more tries. The boy couldn’t quite make the basket, so his father held him up and finally, his shot landed in the hoop.

Graham awarded the boy a

stuffed dog.A few weeks later, Graham

was working the Durham Fair. Fair workers bustled to and fro, making last-minute preparations as he sat down with The Citizen before the fair opened Sept. 26.

The state was inspecting the games on the midway, and he didn’t want to get in any-one’s way, Graham said. He sat in the shade of the cow barn.

Twenty, thirty years ago, the carnival environment was very harsh, Graham said.

“People hated when the

carnival came into town with the exception of the kids who saw only teddy bears and rides,” he said.

Some carnival workers were con men and thieves, he said, and people started com-plaining that they paid $100 for a stuffed animal. The State Gaming Division got involved and now, there is more con-sumer protection, more guar-antees that people will walk away with a prize.

“It’s retail sales. You’re selling teddy bears,” Graham said.

He got into the carnival business after 9/11. As a New Yorker and a survivor of the terrorist attack, he became worried about the next at-tack. Maybe he would not be as lucky, he thought. A friend, who was in the carnival, sug-

gested he try the business.Today, Graham trav-

els with the carnival five to seven months out of the year. During the rest of the year, he works for Pizza Hut, training cooks every time a new fran-chise location opens.

He likes the carnival busi-ness because of the interac-tion with people, of the way people smile after they win and they walk away with a prize.

“And for me, that’s what brings a lot of inspiration,” Graham said. “For me, that’s what keeps me around. I don’t think it’s really about the money any more because I don’t think you’re going to get super wealthy.”

He doesn’t recommend the

Carnival games ... they ain’t what they used to be

Hooker

founded by Hooker him-self, broke away over sev-eral issues that seem trivial today. Each church claimed that it was being faithful to Hooker’s legacy.

In 1638, while Rev. Hooker was leading his flock in Hartford, other Puritans, also from the Boston area and led by Rev. John Davenport, set-tled in New Haven and else-where along the shoreline. In 1664 the two groups merged to form the Connecticut of today. From 1701 to 1873 Hartford and New Haven served as co-capitals of the state.

Ralph Lord Roy of Southington is a retired United Methodist minister. Email: [email protected].

A healthy diet packed with vital nutrients can help ward off potential health problems that are common in senior citizens, like con-stipation, heart problems, diabetes, high blood pres-sure, and high cholesterol. Nutritious foods will also help you maintain a healthy weight and can work won-ders for your energy level.

Even if you’ve never fol-lowed a nutrition-based diet before, healthy eating isn’t difficult. The National Institute on Aging suggests two options for seniors:

The USDA Food Guide MyPlate Plan. This plan offers tips for building a healthy, balanced diet, including:

--Make half your plate fruits and vegetables.

--Make at least half your grains whole grains.

--Enjoy your food, but eat less.

--Compare sodium in foods like soup, bread, and frozen meals — and choose the foods with lower numbers.

The DASH Diet. The DASH eating plan includes all the key food groups, but is designed to help reduce blood pressure and empha-sizes foods that are heart healthy. These are rec-ommended daily serving amounts:

--Grains: 7 to 8 ounces--Meat and beans: 6

ounces or less of chicken, meat, and fish plus 4 to 5 servings of nuts, seeds, and/or dried beans per week

--Milk: 2 to 3 cups--Vegetables: 2 to 2.5 cups--Fruit: 2 to 2.5 cups--Oils: 2 teaspoons--everydayhealth.com

Carnival

business to anyone who has a family, but as he worked the business, he met other work-ers who left family to work at the carnival, who neglected education and hygiene to live the carnival life.

“That’s not good,” he said.Carnival workers need to

be good at retail sales. If they have that skill, they can suc-ceed in the carnival, Graham said. Also, carnival workers should ask anyone — anyone — to play their game.

The industry has a say-ing, he said: “Don’t be afraid to ask anyone, 8 to 80, blind, crippled or crazy.”

He has helped blind carni-val-goers win his game.

“Just because you can’t see doesn’t mean you can’t have fun,” he said.

Graham speaks three lan-guages, English, Spanish and Russian, and he can help “carry you through the game” in those languages.

While the carnival may have changed over the last few years, he said consumers still need to be mindful.

“Everyone in there isn’t’ all on the same page,” he said, adding that people should walk around the fair, compare prices, to find the best deals. A fried dough booth may be offering a lower price than one a few rows away.

Behind the curtains of the carnival, there is politics, various companies vying for locations, everyone trying to get a few dollars of the fair-goer’s money through en-trance fees, shuttle fees, food and ride tickets.

“The carnival looks good through the eye of a child,” he said.

then it’s goodnight. It’s easy to see why “Enter Sandman” is such a perfect song for him.

It won’t be the same watch-ing the Yankees knowing No. 42 won’t be securing another “W” for the Bronx Bombers, but he’s certainly a chapter of his own in the detailed lore of baseball; a chapter that will end with a simple “on-field delay.”

So goodnight, Mo. Thanks for the memories.
