Within the next couple weeks as the weather cools and fall activities com-mence, 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 chal-lenge for tranquility.

The Metacomet Trail, roughly 50-miles-long, is a historic part of Connecticut that offers its citizens nat-ural beauty and peace that is especially 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

The Southington Drug Task Force will hold its 23rd annual Red Ribbon Rally Tuesday, Oct. 15.

As it has been for years,

that day, the Town Green will be flooded with stu-dents, families, and friends, chant ing a drug-free mantra.

Trish Kenefick, coordi-nator for the event, said the rallies draw upwards

of 400 people, with several organizations, like STEPS, school and town sports teams, peer advocates, cheerleaders, Boy Scouts, dance teams, and more,

From being a master gar-dener, to a member of the Orchard Valley Garden Club and Southington Land Trust, to facilitating the Southington community gardens, one could say Uta Zickfeld cer-tainly has a green thumb.

So it’s not too surprising that the National Wildlife Federation named her home garden a Certified Wildlife Habitat, a garden space that improves habitat for wild-life by providing essential elements.

“It’s a very nice thing to have happen to you,” Zickfeld said of the recognition. “I’ve always tried to do that for my

After serving on the Board of Park Commissioners for the past 35 years, 79-year-old Joe LaPorte felt it was time for him to take a step back and will not seek reappointment. He doesn’t want to call it re-tirement, though, just “giving up his seat” for fresh new faces and ideas.

“I would have been 85 years old if I was appointed,” LaPorte said of potentially serving out another term.

In 1968, 45 years ago, LaPorte became a volunteer coach for his son’s little league. From there, his participation in community events “evolved.” He helped start and manage the Southington Youth Soccer League and was one of the founders of the Southington Western Little League.

“It’s something I truly en-joyed because I was always involved in recreational ac-tivities with the kids and with youth sports and all the sports,” LaPorte said. “Basically, that’s what the park board’s function was, to look after the programs.”

Those who have worked alongside LaPorte on the Park

Board said they were sad to see him go.

LaPorte has been some-one Mike Fasulo looked up to when he first joined the park board years ago, Fasulo said. Fasulo has been on the board for about eight years with a few breaks in between serving.

“He was the guy I always went to for advice,” Fasulo said. “He will be sorely missed. He had a lot of experience and knew a lot.”

David Lapreay, director of recreation, also says he looked to LaPorte for advice.

“He’s been a great help for me when I was hired, going to him at times with certain questions.” Lapreay said. “His knowledge of everything go-ing on in town, it’s been a good asset.”

Besides his work in youth sports and on the park board, LaPorte is a former director of Bread for Life, served two terms on the Town Council in the 1970s, and plays a vi-tal role in organizing the an-nual Italian Festival on Center Street. He’s also been involved with the YMCA for years and often shows his support for lo-cal charitable events.

LaPorte

Fasulo and Lapreay said they both will remember LaPorte for his recent work on the con-struction of a pavilion at the town-owned drive-in theater on 935 Meriden-Waterbury Turnpike. It was a three-year project.

LaPorte led the project which was complete with bathrooms, a concession area, and surround sound. It was ready for use in the summer of 2012. It cost $450,000 and LaPorte’s work involved seek-ing donations from local busi-nesses and organizations to get it finished

“That was a huge project,” Fasulo said. “He was greatly

responsible for that.”“He went above and be-

yond getting donors to do that work on the pavilion,” Lapreay said. “I think everybody knows when he gets something he’s going to finish it.”

While LaPorte spearheaded the project and said it was a “big accomplishment,” he couldn’t help but thank the volunteers, the park board, and the Southington commu-nity for all their help.

As for his future involve-ment in town, LaPorte said he’s not done helping and will continue with his other responsibilities.

“I’m not going anywhere,” LaPorte said. “Just one less meeting a month.”

Rally

attending.“I really feel because we

have so many people there, that the positive message will get out to everyone else,” Kenefick said.

Rev. Victoria Triano, who will emcee the Red Ribbon Rally, said the event gives her hope for the future.

“You see our young people ready to take a stand against substance abuse,” Triano said.

Kenefick said the most re-cent survey in town revealed that 58 percent of 11th grad-ers don’t drink alcohol.

Unfortunately, that leaves a big chunk of high school ju-niors who do indulge.

“I think that’s a really high percent,” Kenefick said.

Additionally, Kenefick said Southington police of-ficers shared details of sub-stance-related arrests in town in September. There were 23 total, including seven made in a school zone.

“We really feel this is a problem that needs to be ad-

dressed,” Kenefick said.A mainstay at the Red

Ribbon Rally is when stu-dents go on stage and say what they would rather do instead of drugs.

“It’s becoming hip to be drug-free,” Triano said. “And that is really the point of changing the culture within our community.”

Triano and Kenefick said they have seen tangible ev-idence that the rallies are working.

Kenefick said she receives e-mails and notes from stu-dents who have moved on to college and high school say-ing the rally affected them.

“They still remember the event and the impacts of it,” she said.

Kenefick’s most poignant story, however, was that of a man who became a doctor. He told Kenefick he was suc-cessful because of the rallies, which helped him carve out a successful path in life.

“I think we’re seeing more and more kids having the courage to publicly say ‘I’m not going to get involved in

substance abuse,’” Triano said.

Triano said the rally isn’t just about diminishing risky behavior, it’s also about promoting positive, es-teem-building activities.

“We stand for that and we encourage our kids to choose something better,” Triano said.

For the second year, there will also be a poster drawing contest for students. Entries should feature a positive, an-ti-drug message. Members of the Southington High School Key Club will judge the en-trees and select a winner.

Attendees of the rally will also be able to sign a large red ribbon to pledge to stay drug-free. The ribbon will be presented to the Town Council and displayed at the Southington Public Library.

The rally will be held on the Town Green Tuesday, Oct. 15, 6 to 7:15 p.m.

If it rains, the event will be moved to Derynoski Elementary School, 240 Main St.

Twenty-eight people gath-ered in the café area of the town library Oct. 3 to hear excerpts from 12 previously banned books during an event promoting the free-dom to read. It is the second time the library has hosted an event marking national Banned Books Week.

Executive Library Director Sue Smayda said many books were challenged or banned to protect others, particu-larly children, from what was thought by some to be harm-ful information. The town li-brary highlights these books to show the importance of di-versity of thought, she added.

“Any good library has something in it to offend ev-eryone,” Smayda said, adding that the freedom to read al-lows people to develop their own viewpoints.

Town officials, the school superintendent, teachers, li-brary board members and other community leaders read books that were once banned. Each chose the book they wanted to share.

For Town Manager Garry Brumback, it was “The Call of the Wild” by Jack London published in 1903.

“This book I’m very fond of,” he said. It was banned

because it portrayed cruelty to animals.

Director of Youth Services Sue Saucier decided to share a passage from the book “The Jungle” by Upton Sinclair published in 1906. After find-ing it on the high school’s summer reading list, she was intrigued.

“I happened to read it this summer,” Saucier said.

The book illustrates work-

ing conditions and practices in Chicago’s meat packing houses in the 1900s. Although Sinclair was trying to high-light the plight of workers,

more people were outraged by the poor sanitary condi-tions in food processing.

Town Attorney Mark Sciota selected “The Catcher

in the Rye” by J.D. Salinger, published in 1951. He wanted to read it because of the im-pact it made on his son.

“It took a boy who could not stand reading and turned him into a reader,” Sciota said. It was banned because of the language and actions by the main character, who was an adolescent.

Teacher of the year Linda Reilly was ready for her read-ing. Wearing jean overalls, a black and red plaid button-up shirt, and a blue cap she was dressed the part for the book “The Great Gilly Hopkins” by Katherine Paterson.

“Hi y’all I’m Gilly and I’m 11,” Reilly shouted in a south-ern accent. “I’m the great Gilly Hopkins!”

Other books that were read included the “Adventures of Huckleberry Finn” by Mark Twain; “Brave New World” by Aldous Huxley; and “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest,” by Ken Kesey.

“I hope this peaks your in-terest in some of these books,” Smayda told the audience.

Trail

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 responsible for the upkeep of the trails and mon-itoring 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, includ-ing hiking ideas and the nat-ural features, an interactive map is available at newen-glandtrail.org.

It’s been a few years since the idea of improving the aes-thetics in the downtown area of Plantsville first came up. Because of a lack of funding it has yet to come to fruition.

Town Council candi-dates reached for comment recently agreed that im-plementing the proposed Plantsville Renaissance proj-ect should attract more busi-ness and people downtown and supported the efforts.

“I think if we did it prop-erly we could see a huge re-turn in our investment down there and could take off some pressure in West Street and Queen Street and spread eco-nomic developments around town,” said Chris Kelley, a Democrat.

“I think the town has to use the economic develop-ment policy to focus on the areas and bring businesses and more people in those ar-eas to keep them alive and well,” said Republican incum-bent Cheryl Lounsbury. “We

should work with our legis-latures to get money to do some renaissance work.”

Plans for the Plantsville Renaissance include the ad-dition of decorative light-

ing, a scenic overlook of the Quinnipiac River, benches and brick paving. With the changes the hope is that it will attract more peo-ple to the area and in turn

more businesses will want to establish there. It’s esti-mated the project will cost about $1 million. The town was trying to obtain a Small Town Economic Assistance

Program grant from the state for the work but hasn’t had luck yet. More than 10 years ago the same type of work was done to the downtown area of Southington.

“We’re extremely hopeful that it will come, we’re just waiting for the grant,” said Art Secondo, the president of the Chamber of Commerce. “We are working on it. It’s not a dead issue.”

Democratic incumbent Chris Palmieri said he sup-ports the revitalization and it is a good move to help the average homeowner in town.

“The more we can get people to invest in our local restaurants, businesses, the better off we are,” Palmieri said.

Republican candidate Victoria Triano said both downtowns are “the heart of the community” and that more needs to be done to help secure funding to start the project in Plantsville.

“Finances of course are al-ways an issue,” Triano said.

Bread for Life didn’t mind police stakeoutBread for Life’s board chair-

man, William McDougall, said he didn’t object to police surveillance of the lunch pro-gram on Main Street earlier this month but disagreed that police have ever been called to the meal kitchen.

The Planning and Zoning Commission is consider-ing Bread for Life’s plan to move its operations adja-cent to Derynoski School on Main Street. Commission Chairman Michael DelSanto asked police to study the possible impact of the meal kitchen, which operates at 76 Main St.

A police officer watched the kitchen over two days and found between 15 and 23 peo-ple getting meals. Police said one of the patrons was a reg-

istered sex offender and that some people remained at the site after being served lunch.

Police also checked their records for incidents at the previous Bread for Life ad-dress and found one com-plaint of an intoxicated person in the period from Jan. 1, 2009, to Sept. 4, 2013.

McDougall said Oct. 1 that incident didn’t occur while Bread for Life was at 145 Main St.

“There has never been an incident with our kitchen where the police were called,” he said. “We were not tenants of that facility when that call was made.”

Concerns over mov-ing the meal kitchen next to Derynoski School have stemmed from ignorance of Bread for Life’s operation, ac-cording to McDougall.

“The whole problem is a misconception about our cli-entele,” he said.

McDougall has invited any-one with concerns to visit the meal program which provides free lunches to the home-less, poor and homebound. Thus far, he said only School Superintendent Joseph Erardi has stopped by.

Loitering would not be permitted at the new loca-tion, McDougall said, and pa-trons would have to leave the property after lunch program hours. There’s only so much that can be done about loiter-ing, however.

“People loiter in the library and they loiter in the Town Green,” McDougall said. The Southington Library is across the street from Derynoski School.

McDougall deferred com-

ments about the registered sex offender to his lawyer, Anthony Denorfia.

DelSanto said it’s not un-common for the commission to have police investigate possible traffic issues or other safety concerns associated with proposed development. At times, officers are assigned to count cars or people using a site.

Board of Education mem-

bers and residents have ob-jected to allowing Bread for Life to operate next to an ele-mentary school. Board mem-bers cited safety concerns, increased traffic and the pos-sibility that meal kitchen pa-trons would cut across school property.

A public input session is scheduled for Tuesday, Oct. 15 at Town Hall, 75 Main St., at 7 p.m.

T h e C o n s e r v a t i o n Commission granted condi-

tional approval Oct. 3 to the application of Wonk Spring Partnership LLC to establish a nine-lot industrial subdivi-

sion on Wonx Spring Road.The application inspired

passionate opposition from many in attendance at the commission’s meet ing , which was held at the munic-ipal center, including Frank Punzo, who disagreed with it both substantively and procedurally.

During time allotted for public comment, Punzo said he was forbidden from speak-ing during the public hearing on the application and was told by Chairwoman Teresa Albanese to save his remarks for last Thursday evening.

Punzo objected after being informed that his comments, along with evidence that he wished to submit, would not be entered into the re-cord due to the closure of the hearing.

Punzo said that he was an “intervener” in the applica-tion and as such had the right to rebut testimony presented by the applicant’s representa-tives at the hearing, as well as cross-examine them.

Punzo said the planned development poses health and environmental risks and

would lead to the pollution of the Quinnipiac River.

Applause erupted through-out the room after he con-cluded his comments, which lasted more than 30 minutes.

The commission eventu-ally approved the application 4-1 with two abstentions.

Commission member Chris Borowy acknowledged the high degree of “public sensi-tivity” toward the application but said the commission has a “limited charge” and can only consider wetlands-re-lated issues, not matters that are the purview of other town commissions.

Albanese agreed, adding that the commission can not apply “zoning parameters” in

its review process, she said. Albanese said the applica-

tion’s opponents did not pres-ent sufficient evidence that the development plans would have adverse effects upon the wetlands, she said.

The development still needs approval from the P l a n n i n g a n d Z o n i n g Commission, Department of Energy and Environmental Protection and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Vice Chairman James Sullivan pointed out.

Habitat

garden.”Zickfeld’s nearly-one acre

space is a nature lover’s dream, with three rain bar-rels, crabapple trees, win-terberry bushes, compost, a pond, coneflowers, and sev-eral other wildflowers.

Also, the garden provides food sources and an organic habitat for any creatures who want to come hang out.

Zickfeld had to apply to NWF to be noticed. Now that she has the distinction, she said she will be more in tune to the NWF, which will pro-vide her with tips and other guidelines for improving her garden.

“I can get some more info

on what I can do to make it even better,” Zickfeld said.

“Providing a home for wild-life in our communities is the demonstration of a healthy and active eco-system,” David Mizejewski, NWF natural-ist said. “There is no more rewarding way to stay con-nected to nature right outside your door.”

To be considered as a cer-tified wildlife habitat, cer-tain criteria must be met. Food and water sources, shel-ter, and places for animals to raise their young are part of the equation.

Zickfeld said her garden is entirely organic, and she never uses any harmful pesti-cide sprays or pellets. She said it breaks her heart to see other people use them, only to find dead birds shortly thereafter.

In her garden, Zickfeld sees all kinds of critters, from hum-mingbirds, to frogs and an as-sortment of furry, four-legged creatures.

She is also fond of the dec-oration component of garden-ing, as well as the opportunity to stock up on homegrown vegetables.

“Once my children were out of college and they were kind of moving away, I said now it’s time for me. So I’m doing it,” she said about curat-ing her garden.

Zickfeld still takes garden-ing classes because of the different paths that can be explored.

She said she enjoys the op-portunity to learn more and share her knowledge with other members of the garden club.

“We’ve seen some very suc-cessful grants that have come into the community for spe-cific areas. The renaissance projects in both downtown Plantsville and Southington are perfect for receiving grant money to help us along. It is very important for us to do that.”

While candidates agreed that the work needs to be complete and will help the area, they have different ideas of how the area, including downtown Southington that was beautified more than 10 years ago, should be main-tained after renewal.

“We need to look at that and see if a maintenance program was put together for it,” said Republican candidate Paul Champagne. Champagne said

he “would like to be an active part in the maintenance” if he is elected.

Democratic candidate Dennis Conroy said he hopes with any renovations that the “village look” would be main-tained. He also suggested changes to improve traffic flow to maintain the areas.

“Maybe there’s a lit-tle work on roads with co-ordination of signal with the state Department of Transportation,” Conroy said. “I think that’s a primary issue.”

Democratic incumbent Dawn Miceli said she would like to see both downtowns use decorative way-finding signs to direct visitors to key amenities.

“This would help enhance and maintain this as a desti-nation location,” said Miceli. “It really adds to the aesthet-ics of the community and it also has purpose and is also practical.”

Republican candidate Tom Lombardi said investing in the downtown area will “at-tract quality tenants” and by attracting tenants it brings in

more people. He wants, how-ever, not to overdevelop the Plantsville area and to keep its “small feel.”

“We are essentially en-

hancing our economic de-velopment by encouraging both businesses and citizens to shop, dine, and live in this area of town,” Lombardi said.

Autumn is a great time to jump in the car and head out for an afternoon or day away from it all. You don’t have to go far in order to take a break from the routine and enjoy the beauty of the changing season.

The Citizen has a few ideas to help you plan. Whether your interest is to see foliage, pick apples, find spooky hap-penings, or even learn more about Connecticut’s history, this list of ideas will get you started.

Apple Picking-Picking apples and the per-

fect pumpkin is a favorite fall past-time. There are many spots throughout the region

to visit. In Cheshire, Norton

Brother’s Farm on Academy Road, Hickory Hill Orchard

on South Meriden Road or Drazen Orchards on Wallingford Road are farms where you can pick your

own fruit and perhaps take a hay-ride.

In addition to pick-your-own fruit, Lyman Orchards of

Middlefield also has a 4-acre corn maze, pony rides, and horse-drawn wagon rides.

Scenic drivesNew England is popping

with color in fall.Nat ional Geographic

Traveler recently named Litchfield Hills as one of the most scenic driving destina-tions. The drive up Route 7 is beautiful, and there are lots of antique shops along the way.

You will also come across Bull’s Bridge, one of two cov-ered bridges in Connecticut which is still open to traffic.

For a drive along the coast, try Route 146 from Branford to Guilford.

these Appalachian trails that run through Connecticut. Below are some tips from ct-visit.com to help you choose your path.

The Appalachian Trail runs from New Hampshire (Mt. Washington) to North Carolina (Mt. Mitchell), and it runs right through Connecticut. Check www.ap-palachiantrail.org for more history.

Bear Mountain, Salisbury — In Salisbury rests the northern-most point of the Appalachian trail in the state.

2 , 3 1 6 - f o o t - t a l l B e a r

Mountain, is Connecticut’s highest peak. From the sum-mit, you’ll see panoramic views of three states.

River Walk, South Kent — Is a well known, low-lying section of the Appalachian Trail, according to ctvisit.com. It runs along the Housatonic River for 4.8 miles between Cornwall and Kent and is less challenging than some parts of the trail. The website explains that it used to be an old farming road, and is a great place to encounter falls beauty and some wildlife.

Ragged Mountain Preserve Trai l , Berl in —Ragged

Mountain is a more challeng-ing climb for experienced hikers and climbers.

It has scenic views of the Quinnipiac River, and verti-cal cliffs.

Ctvisit.com states that there are several trails for hikers of all levels which tra-verse this mountain, which is

Hanging Hills, Meriden

— Also found within the Metacomet Trail are the Hanging Hills, rated as a mod-erate climb by alltrails.com. The park road below leads to Castle Craig Tower (eleva-tion 976 feet). The Tower of-fers outstanding views of the

Quinnipiac River Valley and Long Island Sound.

If you go, beware the Black Dog of Hanging Hills, as the legend says, “And if a man shall meet the Black Dog once, it shall be for joy; and if twice, it shall be for sorrow; and the third time...” well, maybe leave after the first time.

Vampires & Witches in Connecticut.

State Archaeologist Nick Bellantoni discusses the New England Vampire Panic and how historical and archaeo-logical research uncovered an early American widespread belief in the “undead”.

A discussion will explore Connecticut’s aggressive prosecution and execution of accused witches between 1647–1663, decades before the famous Salem witch trials.

Lisa Johnson, execu-tive director of the Stanley-Whitman House will share her expertise on the trial of accused Connecticut witch, Mary Barnes; and Dr. Larry Goodheart will recount the stories of eleven people put to death for witchcraft in Connecticut.

WineriesAccording to CTWine.com,

Connecticut is one of the fast-est growing wine regions in

the country. SipNewEngland.com attributes success to the temperate coastal cli-mate. Many have stated that the geographic location of Connecticut as well as the soil content provide an ex-cellent region to grow wine grapes.

The Connecticut Wine Council Trail has been in-troduced, with 24 wineries statewide, offering events and wine education and tasting throughout the year. Some also host dining. Many offer spectacular settings for events.

In Wallingford, you can visit Gouveia Vineyards or Paradise Hills. North Stonington is the location of Jonathon Edwards Winery, and Clinton offers great views

at Chamard Vineyards. For information on the

nearby wineries that make an excellent afternoon or sun-set trip, check the wine trail map at www.ctwine.com/wineries-and-vineyards/trail-map.

OpinionLetters to editor

Lutz for Board of Ed.To the editor:We are pleased to hear that

Bill Lutz is running for a seat on the board of education on the Democratic ticket. His successful teaching career at Notre Dame High School as well as 16 years of service on the Meriden and Berlin boards of education make him an ideal candidate. He has also been an active member of the Southington Education Foundation and served as its president.

In all his endeavors he has always put students first.

A vote for Bill is a vote for the children of our community.

Dottie Drechsler Southington

Back LombardiTo the editor:I have known Tom

Lombardi his entire life. He is a person of the highest integ-rity and moral character. He is bright, articulate, and he

knows and understands the is-sues we face in Southington. I am most impressed with his devotion to our town. He strives to make Southington the best place to live, to raise our children, and to work.

Southington needs young and invigorating individuals who are problem solvers.

That is who Tom Lombardi is. He represents all we desire in a future leader. He has my vote for Town Council. I hope he gets yours.

Nancy ChieroSouthington

Lombardi’s a doerTo the editor:Terry Lombardi is a doer.

She epitomizes a person with endless determination, hon-esty and compassion. She is someone who has the unique ability to effectively yet tire-lessly balance home, career and community service.

Terry’s focus to make fair and equitable decisions for the

betterment of our Southington children is exemplary.

Terry is exactly the person Southington citizens need in this integral position where crucial decisions directly ef-fect the future of our school district.

It is with great pleasure and sincerity that I endorse Terry Lombardi for the position of Board of Education member.

Linda ClockSouthington

Thank you, chairmenTo the editor:Over the past four years

we witnessed government leadership that wasn’t afraid of new challenges and fos-tering leadership with new ideas. The leadership of the Town Council, the Board of Education and the Board of Finance worked together like no time in our town’s history. These three boards communi-cated and tackled numerous issues such as schools, roads,

sewers and facilities, and did so without placing burden-some tax increases on the cit-izens of Southington.

I would like to thank the Republican chairmen of all three boards for their leader-ship and guidance. We need to continue this leadership as we face continuing difficult times.

Sandra Micalizzi Southington

Help a strayTo the editor:The weather is getting

cooler and soon the snow will be flying. It’s time to think about the stray cat that’s been hanging around your neigh-borhood all summer. If it’s friendly, meaning you can pick it up and put it on your lap, then try and find a real home for it. Ask friends, cowork-ers, neighbors, relatives, the nurses and assistants at your doctor’s office; everyone! Or you can go online and contact one of the many rescue groups

in the state to see if they have an opening.

If it’s not friendly, but happy living outside (a.k.a., feral), borrow a trap and get it fixed so there aren’t any freezing cold kittens this winter.

Please get your own pet fixed as well. There are many low cost options such as HOPE Clinic in Waterbury or the mobile van (1-888-for-team).

The state also provides vouchers for qualif ied residents.

And if you know a cat living outside, consider creating a winter shelter for it. YouTube has many videos on simple but effective shelters you can build. Please don’t wait until it’s too late because although it may not be “your” cat, it’s one of God’s creatures and needs your help. You wouldn’t let a stray dog freeze outside in the cold, so don’t let that stray cat either.

Health reform measures pushing Conn. to innovate

WALLINGFORD (AP) — While Connecticut embraced setting up a health insur-ance 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 grow-ing push in the state to cut costs while improving pa-tient care, Connecticut is now moving toward a streamlined and better-coordinated, pa-tient-centered system of med-ical treatment.

“Connecticut has been a lit-tle bit slow to adopt many of these things, but I see it hap-

pening 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 dollars to 75 medical practices across Connecticut, representing a total of 440 clinicians. The grants will enable them to be-come certified as a patient-cen-

tered practice. They’re also referred to as patient-cen-tered medical homes, a con-cept that’s been embraced in neighboring Rhode Island and Massachusetts.

Once certified, these medical

Letters policy for political season


Trout, turkey and the gateway to autumn

The trout are on their way. The DEEP says that they have began their autumn stocking of trout, which is good news for local fishermen, especially those that like to fish our own Black Pond in Meriden.

The ongoing 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 opportunities 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 beginning young fishermen look on knowing they would be happy to sim-ply catch their two trout limit.

Approximately 29,000 adult trout will be released this fall, of which 12,800 are tro-phy-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 abut-ments just below the Route 219 Bridge in New Hartford to the Route 177 Bridge in Unionville.

Among other TMAs being stocked this fall are two ar-eas 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 “year-ling” (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 population of small-mouth bass. I have seen hardcore fly fishermen 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 regulations 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 varying 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 different 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 reg-ulations of any of the above fishing areas that will be stocked with trout this au-tumn, 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 StockingThe Inland Fisheries

Division of the DEEP has also been busy with their Atlantic salmon stocking program here

in Connecticut.Peter Aarrestad, director 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 be-come quite popular and catch-ing one of these large leapers provides a thrilling experi-ence for anglers.”

While I have yet to expe-rience the thrill of hooking up with one of these DEEP-

Hundreds of people set up chairs, sat on curbs, and stood along Center and Main streets last Sunday, Oct. 6, waiting for the 45th annual Apple Harvest Festival pa-rade to begin.

Despite the constant driz-zle, the gathered crowds were excited.

Shortly after the parade started on Summer Street, it snaked throughout the downtown area. Police and firefighters were at the fore-front of the parade, equipped

Four-year-old Hannah Albrycht, dressed in a blue sweatshirt with the hood

over her head, sat on top of her dad Matt Albrycht’s shoulders to get a better view of the parade as it came through Main Street. Hannah waved to the doz-ens of people who passed by with a huge smile on her face. The rain didn’t bother

her.“We’ve been coming for

years and years,” said Matt Albrycht, of Southington.

“Since I was young,” added Pam Albrycht, Hannah’s mother.

Holding a star wand dec-orated with orange, yel-low, and red leaves, Mary DeCroce, the parade’s grand marshal, waved from a red Mustang convertible. As she made her way down Center Street and onto Main Street she smiled at people and said “hello” to those she rec-ognized in the crowd.

The Southington High School cheerleaders got the crowd going by shouting out

chants and cheers.“Yell it out! Go white, go

white. Go Blue, go blue,” the squad screamed.

Following the cheerlead-ers was the Blue Knights Marching Band, then the parade’s Granny Apple, Rosema r y Cia nci , a nd her granddaughter, Eryn Pellrine, in a black Jeep Wrangler.

Students of Va lent in Karate in Plantsville kicked and punched through planks of wood held by their in-

structor. The crowd cheered when one kicked through three boards on one try. After they went by, the song “Applause” by Lady Gaga echoed through the Town Green as girls from Dance City & the Arts performed in black dance jackets and pants. Twirling, kicking, and picking one another up, they danced down Main Street to the rest of the song.

“Look at those, Jose! Look at that bike coming through,” said Amilio Alier, of Southington, trying to get the attention of his 10-year-old grandson, Jose Falero. “They are pretty cool.”

Alier was pointing at the bike parade hosted by Southington Community Cultural Arts that was about an hour into the pa-rade. Nineteen bikes were

It was an Apple Harvest three-peat. For the third straight year, Chris Rosenberg took home the top spot in the annual Apple Harvest 5-Mile Road Race.

The 23-year-old New Britain resident, who ran against the Southington Blue Knights as a Hall High School Warrior, finished in 25:26.

“I’m very happy with that,” Rosenberg said. “It’s where I wanted to be today.”

The top female was Kelly Browning, 36, of Glastonbury, who finished in 35:03.

A light sprinkle when the

gun went off at 8:30 a.m. turned into a torrential down-pour not long after, cresting tough conditions. Rosenberg, though, said it was no problem.

“Honestly, the rain is great,” he explained. “I always run my best races in the rain.”

One positive for everyone involved is the temperature stayed at a comfortable level.

“The one thing that I was happy about was that it wasn’t cold,” Rosenberg commented.

At the end of it all, the streaming drops of rain didn’t stop him.

Race

“Obviously you have to deal with slicker roads, so it’s not the best time I could have run,” said the Central Connecticut State University student. “But, physically, as I was running, the rain just cools you off and makes you

be able to push yourself a lot harder.”

Rosenberg started a run-ning club at CCSU and will be competing in a regional competition at the end of the month with nationals to fol-low in November. He credits this race for helping him get tuned up.

“It’s just a really nice, fast

course,” he said. “September was a pretty heavy month of training and it’s right after that, so it kind of gives me an idea of where I’ve gotten, gives me a little bar.”

He also likes the local feel of the race and, of course, the apple fritters.

“I love the Harvest (Festival) and getting ap-

ple fritters, that’s always awesome,” said a jovial Rosenberg.

To p l o c a l f i n i s h e r for the 5-mile race was Jim Rosenberger, 23, of Plantsville, who clocked in at 26:59.

In the 5K race, the win-

ners were Mark Hixson, 48, of Simsbury, finishing 16:49, and Brittany Heninger, 24, of Bridgeport, who crossed in 19:27.

And the race wasn’t with-out celebrities. Governor

Dannel Malloy braved the conditions, running the 5K, with security draped around him, in a time of 24:32.

“The Town of Southington always provides a great com-munity event with its Apple Festival,” Malloy said in a statement. “Rain or shine, folks still come out to enjoy

the annual festivities, which seems to get bigger with each passing year.

“Connecticut has a rich ag-ricultural heritage going back centuries, and this is always a great opportunity to high-light and honor that aspect of our history, which con-tinues to make Connecticut revolutionary.”

recycled and turned into art-work. One had a dragon on the side with the two wheels painted blue and white to represent water.

For the 13 years he has lived in Southington, Alier has come to the festival reg-ularly. He recalls missing the parade only about two times. Each year he brings his grandsons, Jose and Uzion Falero, of Manchester, to see the parade.

Costumed characters — Batman, Spider-Man, Elmo and others — ran out to say hi to the children sitting alongside the road.

Two hours after the parade began, the last group passed by, dressed in Halloween costumes, skipping, running and jumping.

People poured into the streets after the last police car turned right onto Main Street, signaling the end of the adventure.

J e n n i f e r J o y c e , o f South ington , was with her 3-year-old daughter, Mackenzie, just in front of the First Congregational Church parking lot, a spot she says she sits in each year because it looks “as if the pa-rade is coming at us.”

“This is one of the better parades,” Joyce said. “It’s larger and it’s a nice mix of surrounding towns.”

In a handwritten essay on a single sheet of white lined paper, Eryn Pellrine outlined all the reasons why she cares about her grandmother.

In the second paragraph of the essay, titled “She al-ways makes me feel loved,” the Hatton School fourth grader said that she and her grandmother “have a very special connection.”

As a result of Eryn’s ef-forts to showcase their relationship, her grand-mother Rosemary Cianci was picked t he 201 3

Granny Apple for the Apple Harvest Festival.

“She’s just the best grandma,” Eryn said,

Winning the Granny Apple title means that Cianci was featured during the Apple Harvest Festival opening night festivities. Eryn read her essay on stage and the two were showcased in the parade.

“This will be the first time she’s speaking in pub-

lic,” Cianci said prior to opening night. “I’m proud of her.”

Last month, Eryn wrote a 150-word essay describ-ing her relationship with her grandmother and why she was important. The Apple Harvest Committee received 25 essays from local students in grades four through six . Jim

Champagne, the festival coordinator, said Eryn’s stood out because of the way she described her grandmother.

“Hers was the best,” Champagne said. “She’s like a young adult with her writing.”

When they are together, Eryn said she loves being outside, reading, playing board games, and watch-

ing movies with her grand-mother. Just the other day Cianci took Eryn to a book fair and came to lunch with her at school for grandpar-ent day.

“She was so sweet,” Cianci said.

Eryn is the youngest of nine of Cianci’s grandchil-dren. Cianci has lived in Southington for the past 48 years.

On the day of the open-

ing ceremonies and during the parade, Cianci wore a silver sparkling tiara that has a bright red apple in the center along with a white sash with red font that reads “2013 Granny Apple.”

“The honor is great,” Cianci said. “I’m kind of not in the public eye so I will overcome that be-cause I have my grand-daughter by my side. With my grandchildren I can ac-complish anything.”

Autumn

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 something 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 pro-gram. 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 pri-vate owner and the business was discontinued. It’s really too bad that more salmon fishing opportunities 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 because of storm dam-age to the hatchery and low returns of salmon each year, the salmon stocking still pre-vails. The DEEP has devel-oped a new “Legacy Program” to maintain this popular rec-reational fishery and to also preserve the unique and po-tentially important strain of southern 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 riv-ers, from Oct. 1 through Nov. 30, angling for Atlantic salmon is restricted to catch-and-re-lease 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 addi-tional 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 season for

wild turkey in Connecticut

opened last week. Hunting hours are from one-half hour before sunrise to sunset and the season 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 on state land, check out pages 35-38 in your 2013 CT Hunting & Trapping Guide. If you hunt private land you must have a signed official permit form from the landowner.

That’s it gang, See ya’ at the Turkey Shoot and God Bless America and watch over our troops wherever they may be.

Seniors

A healthy diet packed with vital nutrients can help ward off potential health problems that are common in senior citizens, like constipation, heart problems, diabetes, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol. Nutritious foods will also help you maintain a healthy weight and can work wonders 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 fro-zen meals — and choose the foods with lower numbers.

The DASH Diet. The DASH eating plan includes all the

key food groups, but is de-signed to help reduce blood pressure and emphasizes foods that are heart healthy. These are recommended 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

A s p a r t o f B re a s t Cancer Awareness Month, The Hospital of Central Connecticut will present its first Dr. James Massi annual lecture Thursday, Oct. 17, with speaker Heidi Marble, a breast cancer survivor, au-thor and artist.

Marble will present “One piece at a time: The art of taking broken into beautiful.”

Through Marble’s Donate & Create Program, she demonstrates how one woman, one idea can be a catalyst for change. By tak-ing pieces of unused jewelry, bobbles and buttons, she has created a platform for fundraising, awareness and healing.

The free event is from 6 to 8 p.m. at the hospital’s New Britain General campus cafeteria.

Marble has created a Mirror of Many Colors of Cancer art piece to be dis-played in a boutique at the hospital’s new cancer center,

currently under construction. The mirror will be revealed during the program.

For the piece, the hospi-tal collected donations of older or unwanted costume jewelry including necklaces, pins, bracelets, watches, ear-rings, belt buckles, buttons, tie tacks and cuff links.

The Dr. James Massi an-nual lecture is presented by the Comprehensive Breast Center & George Bray Cancer Center. Free validated park-ing will be available in the Quigley Garage. The event will include door prizes. Seating is limited; to register, call (860) 224-5299.

Health Tips

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 agingOlder 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 peo-ple 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 medi-cines 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 sleeping. Sometimes insomnia may be a sign of other problems. Or it could be a side effect of a med-ication 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 insomnia worse.

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

With nearly 3,500 cars and 350 walk-ins, the town’s drive-in theater had a successful season. A little more than $16,000 has been distributed to the nonprofit civic groups that host the movies.

At the Town Council meeting last week, Drive-in Committee Chairman Michael Riccio said that since 2010 about $48,000 has been given to local nonprofits. That same night Drive-in Committee members presented 13 groups with checks for $1,250 each, totaling $16,250.

Southington’s Town-wide Effort to Promote Success, known as STEPS, will be the last nonprofit to receive a check after they host the Halloween Festival on Oct. 26.

“It’s expected to be as good as last year,” said Drive-in Committee mem-ber Mike Fasulo, referring to the Halloween Festival.

Last year approximately 450 cars came through on the night of the festi-val. On an average night about 250 cars come to see a movie, Fasulo said.

The Halloween festival features pumpkin painting, haunted hayrides and more, said committee member

Dawn Miceli. After the activities, “Monster’s Inc.” will be shown and later in the night, “Amity Horror.”

Movies shown this year included “Jaws,” “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off,” “The Incredible Hulk,” “Beach Blanket Bingo” and “Clambake.

While the drive-in showed a few older and rated-R movies, Miceli said they learned their audience likes fam-ily movies best.

“We’re going to stick next year to what we discovered in these last four seasons has worked,” Miceli said.

A goal for next year is to add more civic groups, Miceli said.

Reform

practices will take a new and more holistic team approach to treating their patients and anticipating their individual needs. For example, a primary care practice would plan ahead and have other practitioners, such as a diabetic nurse clini-cian or nutritionist, on hand for a patient’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.”

Once these 75 practices are trained and certified — a pro-cess that takes about eight months — Lalime estimates that about 40 percent of the state’s primary care doc-tors will operate using a pa-tient-centered approach in Connecticut.

“I think 10 years from now, there will be much more inte-gration of care, and care coor-dination will be the standard,” Lalime said. “And consumers should be looking for practices that actually function that way.”

Such an approach, Lalime

said, should eventually reduce the amount of times a patient might visit a hospital emer-gency room or inappropri-ately go to a specialist, both costly scenarios. Lalime es-timates that the price of one emergency room visit, about $2,000, would cover the cost of 20 coordinated office vis-its, while the cost of a typical hospital visit, about $30,000, would cover 300 coordinated office visits.

Unlike managed health care, where insurance companies tend to be the gatekeepers that decide which procedures to cover, this new concept “puts the patient 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 coordi-nated patient-centered care.

In Fairfield County, a new group is trying to make it eas-ier for solo practitioners to pro-vide patient-centered care. St. Vincent’s Health Partners Inc. is a new physician-hospital or-ganization created in 2011 by St. Vincent’s Medical Center in Bridgeport and a group of doctors trying to determine how best to respond 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 pur-chasing discounts and data sharing and quality manage-ment. Tracking systems will make sure people don’t get du-plicative tests or procedures they don’t need and will re-mind them of upcoming ap-pointments and tests.

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

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

A strong contingent of for-mer Boston Red Sox took part in the 20th Annual Southington Chamber Cup Classic Oct. 2 at Hawk’s Landing.

Luis Tiant, Steve Crawford, Steve Braun, Tom Burgmeier, Bill Campbell, Rick Miller and Gary Waslewski were the for-mer Beantowners on the links. Other major leaguers, includ-ing Eric Solderholm (Yankees) and Mike Caldwell (Reds/Brewers), were also among the sellout 150 golfers.

“This is our 20th year, but it’s our ninth year with the celebrities,” said Southington Chamber of Commerce

President Art Secondo. “People tell me all of the time that this is one of the best tournaments that they play in. This is our biggest fundraiser and without (Chamber golf chairman) Dana Rickard this wouldn’t be possible.”

Rickard and his wife Kathy are avid Red Sox fans who met many of the former ballplay-ers at Red Sox Fantasy Camp about a decade ago and in-vited them to Southington for the golf tournament. The players keep coming back ev-ery year.

“It’s an honor and a plea-sure just to play here,” former Boston pitcher Steve Crawford said. “Dana has been great and I played with the same people I played with last year. It’s not

all about winning and losing. It’s about having a great time.”

Crawford, who helped pitch the Red Sox to the World Series in 1986, said he has been watching his old team all sea-son. The former reliever said he was surprised about the Red Sox amazing turnaround from last season, though only to a point.

“John Farrell is a great man-ager,” Crawford said. “He’s got the players’ respect and they are playing hard for him. Everything has come together like it has supposed to.”

Crawford was a contem-porary of Farrell’s when the current Red Sox manager was pitching for the Indians in the ’80s. Crawford said Farrell should be American League Manager of the Year.

Burgmeier said it’s the play-ers that deserve most of the credit for the turnaround, but noted that Farrell is a much better fit for the Red Sox than his predecessor, Bobby Valentine.

“I wasn’t surprised,” Burgmeier said. “They were just as good last year. However, three of their pitch-ers did not turn it on and they traded a couple of them and Bobby Valentine is not the man I want managing my team.

“But the players have to produce and that’s the beauty of the game. The guys didn’t play up to their potential last year. I couldn’t believe they lost 90-something games last year.”

Tiant said he has enjoyed watching his former team play this season.

“You really have to tip your cap to them,” the for-mer hurler said. “They re-ally put together a good team that just keeps getting better. Hopefully, they will go all the way.”

Waslewski, who pitched for the ’67 Impossible Dream team, said anything can hap-pen in the playoffs.

“I’ve been up to watch them three or four times this year,” Waslewski said. “They had some injuries with (Clay) Buchholz and (Jacoby) Ellsbury being hurt and Lester couldn’t get any-one out for a while, but other

Thanks for the memories, MoOn 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 looking 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 organiza-tions – 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.

people stepped up and got the job done. They battled and are there now. It’s been a great year, but don’t get knocked out in the first series.”

Another pro athlete in at-tendance was former NHL veteran Aaron Miller, co-owner of Buffalo Wild Wings in Southington. Miller played 14 seasons for the Quebec Nordiques, Colorado Avalanche, Los Angeles Kings and the Vancouver Canucks.

He was also a silver med-alist on the 2002 U.S. hockey team. He retired from pro hockey in 2008.

“I had a lot of fun,” Miller said of playing in last week’s tournament. “We just opened the Buffalo Wild Wings and I’m trying to get involved in the community. The Chamber has been great to us.”

From Page 44Mo

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, 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 watching the Yankees know-ing 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.

From Page 47

Imagine a week without violence. Imagine people walking the streets at night without fear. Imagine sex-ual and domestic violence as faded memories of a long gone era.

This is the vision of the global movement of the YWCA. This is what the YWCA Week Without Violence works to achieve.

The YWCA Week Without Violence is an annual world-wide campaign that takes place in the third week of October to encourage com-munities to think and act towards a world without violence. Throughout the week activities focus on raising awareness, promot-ing attitude change, and enabling individuals and or-ganizations to begin positive actions toward ending vio-lence in their communities.

In recognition of Week Without Violence the New Britain YWCA Sexual Assault Crisis Service (YWCA SACS) would like to highlight its newest program, Where Do You Stand? Connecticut. The YWCA SACS is part of the Connecticut Campaign to engage men to stand up

against sexual violence. Where Do You Stand? Connecticut campaign was created by Men Can Stop Rape, a national organiza-tion redefining masculin-ity and male strength as part of preventing men’s violence against women. Men Can Stop Rape trained Connecticut advocates to utilize bystander interven-tion theory and techniques to equip men with the tools necessary to take a stand against all forms of sexual violence.

So why Focus On Men? Where Do You Stand? Connecticut campaign em-powers men to use their voice, influence, and ac-tions to become a part of the solution. Statistically speaking, most men in our society believe it is wrong to rape a woman. However, majority of these men also live and participate in a cul-ture which supports, glori-fies, and justifies violence against women and girls. This bystander interven-tion program engages men in addressing the cultural norms which support sex-ual violence. It will help to give men the necessary tools and confidence to help hold other men accountable for

their active participation in this culture, resulting in efforts to prevent sexual violence.

What Is Bystander Intervention? Bystander intervention aims at em-powering each of us to be active in responding to and preventing sexual violence. Bystander intervention quite simply means having a will-ingness to take action when it’s needed. Ending sexual violence and all forms of oppression, will take a lot of collective work. We all need to be willing to take action to challenge cultures that support and allow sexual vi-olence to occur. Bystander intervention techniques can involve a wide range of in-terventions from being di-rect to creating a distraction. Bystander interventions provide men with useful tools to stop a range of neg-ative behaviors and to cre-ate spaces where everyone is safe and respected.

Submitted by the YWCA New Britain and the Sexual Assault Crisis Center of Hartford. For more informa-tion contact the YWCA at www.ywcanewbritain.org or call the Hartford Sexual Assault Crisis Service Center at (860) 241-9217.
