Southington native gets ‘on track’ with music career By Julie Sopchak The Southington Citizen

It happened quickly, and for the past few weeks, Southington native Jordan Devin, a.k.a. Jitta On The Track, has been on tour with rap superstar Drake. Devin, 20, earned his spot by winning the “Rise” contest put on by OurStage.com, and was the top pick out of

1,500 contestants. In a Skype interview, Devin was asked if he’d be ready to go on tour if he won, and when he replied “yes,” he was told he’d won and to pack his bags immediately. “It’s a dream, it’s a fun experience,” Devin said. “But I’m trying to learn as much as I can.” Scott Nelson, senior vice president of marketing at

OurStage.com, said the company developed the idea for the competition, fans judged him, and Drake then picked him. “Jitta had a unique sound as well as a presence,” Nelson said in an e-mail interview. “The fans (and Drake) agreed.” A Southington High School graduate of the Class of 2010, Devin moved to town his sophomore year from Florida, but said he’d gone back and forth between the two states throughout his life. The tour, called “Club Paradise,” headlines rappers Drake, J Cole, and Waka Floc-

where he got his first taste of life on the road, practicing his set before the show, and meeting other artists on the tour.

Blue Ribbon Parks Committee completes evaluation of town parks By Julie Sopchak The Southington Citizen The Blue Ribbon Parks Committee recently completed an investigation into the overall state of Southington parks. The committee, established about six months ago, was assigned to take a broader view of the parks system as a “fresh set of eyes,” according to committee Chairman Peter Romano. The committee looked at the use

of the parks, maintenance, and needs of the parks moving forward. Romano presented the report to the council at its meeting on May 29. “The parks as a whole are in good condition,” Romano said. “Southington is well represented when out-oftown visitors come to the parks.” Romano said the committee started out because there were a lot of requests for a park in the north end of town, with the northern-

most park currently being Veterans Memorial Park. As talks continued, the committee realized there was a need for more field space. He said the approval of the turf field was taken into account, but that won’t be a complete solution. “The turf field will not be available on a daily basis for a lot of these leagues, and a lot of these leagues really

Southington Arts Council members recognized for creative works By Julie Sopchak The Southington Citizen

Members of the Southington Arts Council are continuing to make waves with their own personal expressions. President Carole Milano is set to have one of her poems published in a book called “Famous Poets,” a small book published by an Oregon press. Marjorie Low, vice president of visual arts on the council was recently awarded the Artist of the Year award by the Meriden Arts Council. Milano’s poem, “A Time To Heal,” is about the 9/11 tragedy. The poem was read by Southington Superintendent of Schools Joseph V. Erardi at the 9/11 commemoration held at Southington High School last year, along with another poem by Milano. Erardi said he liked the idea of using a local author’s work for the event which was “homegrown” for Southington. “I certainly could not say it any better and I thought

she said it brilliantly,” Erardi said. Erardi said he was introduced to the poem by event committee members while the program was being put together. “The piece was, to me, a connection between community and the event,” he said. “And what greater way can you celebrate it other than the words of somebody that came from the Town of Southington?” “I was rather surprised because I didn’t know they were going to read them,” Milano said. While reading her poems was a surprise, perhaps the poignant memory for Milano was at the end of the ceremony when the band was playing, a flock of geese flew overhead, almost as if on purpose. “We heard these geese squawking in the background,” Milano said. “Suddenly, they just flew over the sky like they were airplanes in formation, it was so amazing.”

A Time To Heal By Carole Milano So…the Purveyor of Evil and mastermind behind 9/11 is dead… our brave Navy Seals shot him dead. Not much we can add or say…but for the victims, their families and survivors…we can pray… and we can hope that tolerance and understanding will take place…. of violence and hatred…LEAVING NOT A TRACE… FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS TO ERASE.

Though getting published isn’t new to Milano, who helped start the Southington Arts Council 30 years ago, she is pleased with the publisher’s choice to pick that particular poem. Low, on the other hand, wasn’t recognized for just one piece of work, but rather her artistic and philanthropic contributions to the community over the years. A member of SAC for 25 years, she was engrossed in the arts community long before that. She moved to Southington in 1987, but before that, she played a pivotal role in establishing the Trumbull Arts Commission for the Town of Trumbull, a period of time she lists as her greatest accomplishment. She takes a lot of pride in the fact the Arts Festival

on the Green for Trumbull is still ongoing today, an event that was her idea. “My baby, the Arts Festival on the Green,” Low said. “It’s still ongoing after 30 years. That was my brainchild.” Low, 91, has also been active in holding charitable galleries that benefit the community. She held a show to benefit the homeless at Burritt Library at Central Connecticut State University, and held another show called “Angels, Cherbus, and Children” in 2009 at the Southington Public Library. “I donated every penny I made to the Southington Bread for Life, Southington Community Services,” Low said. One of her paintings from the homeless show, the main

piece of the show and a large one at that, about 30-by-40 inches, according to Low, now hangs at the office of Southington Community Services, donated by Low, where Director Janet Mellon admires the work. “You look at it and you can think so many different things,” Mellon said. “It’s an absolutely spectacular painting.” Mellon said to physically see the painting is to truly appreciate it, but described the scene as people in a train station who look lost, or just not interacting with other people. “You think sometimes you’re frustrated during the

Low still remains active in her home studio; she said her new thing is painting on rocks. She is also trying to unleash her abstract energy, trying to really dig deep and put her truest emotions onto the canvas. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everything is inspired by reality, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not realistic,â&#x20AC;? Low said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wanna be bogged down by realism in my painting. I like to feel free to express my inner feelings.â&#x20AC;?

Honor Society. Davis is working with confidence on his Eagle Scout project and will soon receive his second degree black belt in martial arts. Davis makes time to enjoy outdoor activities such as snowboarding with his friends, mountain hiking, skim-boarding along the beach, sailing on Long Island Sound, playing football and basketball, mountain biking, and canoeing. He is also a volunteer at the United Way and Southington Community Services. The son of proud parents, Kaye and Ken Davis, Bryan is looking into the future with an eye on his interest in engineering, more specifically, after graduation next year, he plans to attend a competitive college likely in the field of electrical engineering. Recognizing his long list of achievements, it should not come as a surprise that Davis is one of only 30 students in the State of Connecticut to have been selected to the prestigious circle of the 2012 Governor’s Scholar. Now, 30 colleges and universities throughout Connecticut are collaborating in providing each Governor’s Scholar an opportunity to further challenge their intellectual curiosity and special talents. They will be invited to take part in an educational enrichment experience at their schools. The subject of Bryan’s required timed essay was the dangers to society of using technology rather than personal interaction with people. The many accomplishments of Bryan Davis were recognized by the Town Council of Southington in a proclamation designating May 14, 2012 to be Bryan Davis Day in the Town of Southington. The recognition was sponsored as well by the commissioner of education, Connecticut Association of Schools, and Big Y

Contemporary hospice

You sunk my Battleship Cove Photo courtesy of Pack 40

Cub Scouts from Pack 40 at Kelley Elementary School bunked overnight on the battleship U.S.S. Massachusetts on Saturday, June 2, in Fall River, Mass. The boys and their families learned Morse Code and knot-tying, heard from World War II veterans of the ship’s service, watched a simulated air raid, and explored Battleship Cove, the world’s largest collection of historic naval ships, which includes the battleship PT Boats, a U.S. destroyer and submarine, and a former East German missile corvette. For more information about Pack 40, visit kelleypack40.wordpress.com.

“The Contemporary Hospice,” a team approach and opportunity to learn about hospice will be held on Wednesdays, June 13, at 10:30 a.m. and June 20, at 6:30 p.m. Southington Library presents Linda Reynolds, RN from The Connecticut Hospice, the first hospice in the United States to discuss different aspects of hospice. Those who attend will leave with informative handouts. Reynolds has been with Connecticut Hospice since 2004 as a case manager, RN homecare, inpatient bedside palliative care, team leader and interim supervisor for the Farmington office, hospital liaison for the University of Connecticut John Dempsey Hospital, and a weekend triage nurse covering the homecare offices of The Connecticut Hospice. Both presentations will provide the same information.

Devin Continued from page 1

“These are all guys that I look up to and two of them are like my favorite rappers, too,” Devin said. “So it was a great experience.” Devin said he has been soaking up as much of the experience as he can and trying to take advantage of every opportunity, like chasing down MTV at one of the shows to get an interview. “When we saw MTV, my manager immediately ran over to them and told them the whole situation and I got my first interview with MTV,” he said. “That was a big accomplishment.” Manager Jared Glassman

met Devin through a mutual friend while attending Northeastern University. He said he listened to a few of Devin’s tracks and made an offer, from there is was just a matter of getting work done. “[Devin] is one of the most, if not the most, diverse artists I know,” Glassman said. “He can make any song in any genre he gets on sound amazing. His voice is unique, and his overall personality and demeanor is that of a star.” Glassman said “every second” of the tour is being used to network and develop relationships with as many people as possible, including trying to get face time with Drake and other artists to pick their brains about the

industry and what to do to get ahead. “I feel like I’m a student in class I’m just taking notes on how all the other acts perform and just how the whole music industry works,” Devin said. Devin’s time in Southington wasn’t always geared toward music, though it was a hobby when he lived down in Florida, it took him a little while to get acclimated to the scene when he moved up to Southington. “Throughout time I made friends and we all made music together,” he said. “It wasn’t until senior year that I started picking it up and I did shows and I started noticing that I had a pretty good following in Connecticut.” His first show ever was in New Britain where he performed in front of a sold out crowd. From there, he put together a management team and started stringing songs together. While on tour, Devin said they have a studio on the bus where he has been recording a new album, the single of which he said has already been sent out to the radio stations. Life on the road can be hec-

tic, and Devin said it can wear a person down, but motivation is not hard to come across with such big dreams finally being realized. “It is stressful because I do miss my family and friends, but at the same time this is something I always wanted to do,” he said. “So I put that behind and just focus on what I’m doing right now.” Devin said most of the inspiration for his music comes from life experiences like going through high school and just having fun.

Down south, when someone is small, they’re called a “jit,” so he got the nickname as an oxy-moron. “When I started making music I wanted to make it more of an old school hip hop vibe,” he said. “So I put ‘On The Track’ on after it.” Devin will be back in town on Monday, June 11, when the Club Paradise Tour performs at the Comcast Theatre in Hartford at 8 p.m. He would also like to say “Hi” to his mother.

Bariatric surgery Southington Library and MidState Medical Ask the Doc series presents “Bariatric Surgery: Is it the Key to Unlocking Diabetes?” On Thursday June 21, at 6:30 p.m., at the Southington Library Nicholas Verdura, MD of MidState Medical Group Surgical Specialists will discuss Are you a candidate for bariatric surgery? What are the risks? What are the success rates? “Obesity, in itself, is a major medical risk. But obesity with type 2 diabetes significantly raises the risk of heart attack, stroke, and other major medical problems associated with diabetes. Increasingly, weight loss surgery is being used as a tool to manage type 2 diabetes. One potential benefit

of bariatric surgery is that it can help some people with diabetes normalize their blood sugar levels without needing diabetes medications.” For more information about MidState or Verdura visit www.midstatemedical. org .

THURSDAY, JULY 12, 2012 THE AQUA TURF CLUB z 5:30-9:30 PM

As home gardeners return to their beloved flower beds and vegetable gardens, they might find that their bodies respond less enthusiastically to bending, digging, and raking. Aside from aches and soreness, activities like digging in the garden, raking the lawn, and hauling away debris pose the threat of more serious injury to the out-of-shape body. As a result of the physical exertion, many may pull muscles, twist tendons, and strain ligaments. That is why it is important for gardeners to understand what their bodies can and cannot do, even when they are in shape. With regular chiropractic care, amateur gardeners can learn their body’s limitations and better understand proper body mechanics for performing outdoor tasks. Many physically active people, such as gardeners, benefit from regular chiropractic adjustments. When you’ve overdone it and you hurt, visit our clinic for proper diagnosis and treatment. Call (860) 621-2225. We’re here at 200 Queen St. Most insurance accepted. We offer affordable healthcare for the whole family. The answers you need. The care you deserve. P.S. Gardening is a vigorous form of exercise that can be useful in building leg, arm, back, and abdominal muscles.

CitizenOpinion Letters to the Editor

Against turf field at SHS

To the editor: I would like to comment on the article “Council approves turf field, residents in full support.” Upon reading this article, I must say I was shocked. Spending $890,000 on a turf field for a small number of students to play on is, in my opinion, unjustified. I believe that spending this money is unfair to the students in our public school system who do not participate in athletic activities. I am not against student athletics. I think student athletics play an important role in keeping kids active and healthy, involved in

the community, and are a great tool for building teamwork skills. However, giving this much money just for a select group of students is not fair. What about the students who participate in musical activities, community service projects, art, or drama, just to name a few other student activities. It seems to me that if our town is going to spend such a large sum of money on a turf field, cuts will need to be made elsewhere. I would like to know, are teacher or staff jobs going to be cut? Or will new teachers not be hired due to the large sum of money being spent? Further, are our academics as good as they should be? Might the money not be better spent

there? Even if no cuts have to be made, does it seem fair that the athletic department will be the majority beneficiary of this field? I bet that there are many different departments in our public school system that would benefit from $890,000. It seems to me no cost is too much to support athletics. In short, this is too much money to spend just to keep up with the Jones (other towns). I think that money should be equally distributed to different student activities, and if any activity was to be favored, I would choose activities that benefit students trying to help others.

Southington resident Durocher wins national scholarship

Emily Durocher, a Southington High School senior and member of the Southington High School National Honor Society, has Durocher been named one of 53 state winners in the National Honor Society scholarship from the National Association of Secondary School Principals. A total of 150 state finalists were first chosen from among nearly 6,000 applications. Out of the 150 finalists, 53 state winners

were selected. Each state winner receives a $1,500 college scholarship. “Emily is a delight,” said SHS Principal Dr. Martin Semmel. “She is a fantastic student and role model in our ubilding. She has already achieved a great deal, including being selected for this wonderful honor, and I am confident that this young lady is going places.” In addition, SHS National Honor Society advisor Lillian Kowalchik said, “I was very excited to hear that Emily was rewarded with the state NHS scholarship. Emily has been an invalu-

able member and officer of NHS. Her dedication and commitment proves that she epitomizes what NHS stands for. I cannot think of a more deserving member for this honor.” Participating high school NHS chapters from across the country nominated two senior high members to compete in this year’s program. Finalists were selected on the basis of their leadership skills, participation in service organizations, clubs, and other student groups at school and in the community; and their academic record. As a regional winner,

Durocher is recognized as one of the top 53 NHS members in the nation this school year. “We are proud to recognize Emily for her outstanding achievements and contributions to her school, “said David Cordts, associate director at NHS. “Students nominated for the NHS scholarship not only demonstrate academic excellence, but also extraordinary performance in service, leadership and involvement in student activities as well as strong academic performance. The NHS scholarship acknowledges the impor-

tance of a well-rounded education.” While at SHS, Durocher has been captain of the volleyball and basketball teams, state president of Connecticut Association of National Honor Societies, a member of the school’s orchestra, and various clubs such as Model United Nations, Future Business Leaders of America, and Students Against Destructive Decisions. This fall, she plans to attend Franklin and Marshall College to study neuroscience/pre-med. Submitted by NASSP

There are milkshakes and then there are milkshakes. Our milkshakes fall into a category all by themselves. We say that because, like our burgers and fries, we don’t sacrifice quality. Each milkshake is made to order. No processing. Nothing premade. We don’t lift a lever, collect it in a cup and serve it to you.

Send Marchetti your queries to her at The Southington Citizen, 11 Crown St., Meriden, CT 06450, or e-mail news@thesouthingtoncitizen.com. Please include your full name, town and telephone number in case she needs to reach you. Peppers stuffed with Spanish rice As I was walking through

the produce aisle, I noticed all the pretty colors of the peppers. There were yellow, red, green, orange, and black. They are nice to fry, or with a gas stove like I have, you can roast them on the top burners. You can stuff them with Spanish rice for a change. Start with two or three peppers. Cut into 1/2 inch chunks and put in a frying pan at medium high heat with two tablespoons of canola oil. Add a half onion, finely chopped, then add one teaspoon of chili powder and cook together, and add one teaspoon of cumin, then fry it all together until it’s done. Happy Cooking!

SHS, Amity to meet for softball crown By Paul Rosano Special to The Citizen

Southington starter Jordyn Moquin didn’t overpower the Masuk batters Monday afternoon, she finessed them, and her defense did everything it needed to do to back her up. Moquin pitched a three-hitter with two walks and didn’t strike out anyone. But Masuk never threatened until the seventh inning, and by then the Blue Knights’ bats had taken advantage of every opportunity the Panthers had given them in a 5-1 CIAC Class LL softball semifinal vic-

tory at Frank DeLuca Field. “I’m not a big strikeout pitcher, but a lot of it is defense behind me,” said Moquin, who helped her cause with a two-run double. “I could throw spins and they would get hits and my defense would get them out. We’re really good at playing as a team and working together. Everyone really helps each other out; it’s not always one person dominating.” Moquin retired the first nine batters she faced, five on groundouts and four on fly outs. She walked the leadoff hitter in the fourth, but then set the Panthers down 1-2-3 on three grounders.

Meanwhile, through the fourth, No. 1 seeded Southington (22-2) built a 4-0 lead. In the first, leadoff hitter Nicole Rossitto walked, advanced to second on a sacrifice bunt, to third on a fielder’s choice and came home on a passed ball. In the third, the Blue Knights added three more on a run-scoring single by Sydney Ferrante and Moquin’s two-run double. “I felt we did a real good job, offensively, defensively, pitching-wise,” Southington coach John Bores said. “We played very well. We had that one error in the seventh that cost us a run, but other than that I thought we played flawlessly.

“(Moquin) was in control. She was throwing her curve ball and drop curve, fastball - spotting that, too and she’d be the first one to tell you when she’s got so much confidence in the defense that she doesn’t have to strike everybody out.” Southington’s fifth run was a signature play of the game. Rossitto led off the fifth with a double to left-center. She was sacrificed to third by Sarah Carangelo. When Rachel Harvey failed to get a bunt down, Rossitto was caught in a rundown, but left

Knight 9 knocked out in semis By John Pettit Special to The Citizen

The Southington baseball team lost 15 seniors, including Cincinnati Reds farmhand Sal Romano, from last year’s Class LL runner-up squad. A rebuilding year? Hardly. The 18th-ranked Blue Knights found themselves back in the LL semifinals Tuesday night against No. 6 South Windsor.

Unfortunately, the Bobcats spoiled Southington’s bid to make a return trip to the finals with a 6-5 victory in eight innings at historic Muzzy Field. “We were 3-5 at one point and we had to listen to people tell us that we weren’t good enough and we weren’t going to make the tournament,” Southington coach Charlie Lembo said. “I never believed that. I believed in this team from Day One … All the

Southington High School’s Cherraine Davis claimed her second straight State Open championship in shot put Monday. The senior’s throw of 45-feet, 11-inches shattered her previous personal-best. Davis also competed in discus at the Open, and finished 10th in the event. See page 38 for more.

hard work they put in, all the hard work our coaching staff put in and just the belief we had in each other, I think that helped a lot. I can’t say I expected us to be here, but I was confident we’d have a chance to be here.” The South Windsor eighth started harmlessly. After two quick outs, Trevor Mirek singled off Southington reliever Craig Frobel. Andrew King followed with an RBI double down the left-field

line to give the ‘Cats the walk-off victory and a spot in Saturday night’s championship game against Shelton. The senior Frobel, who ran into tough luck all season, did an admirable job in relief. He allowed just two runs over 7 1/3 innings to give Southington a chance to chip away. “Craig just stepped up,” Lembo said. “Craig wanted the ball the whole tourna-

ment … We knew we needed someone in the bullpen all tournament. I talked to Craig and he said, ‘I’m fine with it, but I want the ball.’ He’s a competitor.” The Blue Knights’ season ended at 15-9 overall. It also ended at Muzzy, the site of last year’s heartbreaking 3-2 10-inning loss against Newington in the state title game. “It’s a baseball field and it’s a building,” Lembo said. “There are no ghosts here. Last year was last year and this year was this year.” South Windsor hardly looked like a tired team after playing 13 innings in Saturday’s quarterfinal marathon win over Bristol Central. The Bobcats scored four runs on five hits in the bottom the first inning to chase Southington starter Brett Susi. SW’s Derek Pike (sacrifice fly), Mirek (single) and King (double) had RBIs in the opening frame. The Bobcats also scored on a sacrifice fly and a wild pitch. Frobel (2-5) relieved Susi with two outs and a runner on second. He got out of the inning on a backhand play by second baseman Matt DiNello. “I knew we could scratch out a couple runs, and we did,” Lembo said. “We came back and got it tied. Unfortu-

Blue Knight Notes

Davis repeats as shot put champ; tennis team falls in Round 1 By Nick Carroll The Southington Citizen She did it again. For the second year in a row, Cherraine Davis placed first in shot put at the CIAC State Open track and field meet, held Monday at Veterans’ Stadium in New Britain. The Southington High School senior’s toss of 45-feet, 11-inches outdid her previous best by more than three feet, and her nearest competition by six-plus feet. Davis’ performance in shot put generated all 10 of Southington’s points at the Open. She finished 10th in discus (99-06). Prior to the Open, Davis powered the Lady Blue Knights at the Class LL meet. There, she finished first in shot put (42-01) and second in discus (114-05). Southington rolled up 18 points and landed in 14th place in Class LL. The Blue Knight boys earned four points at the Class LL competition, which was good enough for 25th

place. Southington’s Travis Daly, a junior, finished fifth in shot put with a throw of 4506 to earn a spot in the Open, where he was 16th (44-11.5). SHS coach Matt Shea was pleased with what his athletes – boys and girls – did in the championship meets. “Overall at states we performed how we wanted,” he said. “Travis making State Opens was his goal. The highlight was Kyle Hamel running a 9:43 to make Opens in the two-mile. Cherraine came to win, and that’s her goal from here on out — Win LL, Open and hopefully New England’s. All the rest of our people did well at LL’s. We are very young having only one senior, Allie Vachon, who performed well. Steve Barmore competed in three events, running sub-52 in the quarter, which puts Southington in a great spot. On the girls side, Claire Manente and Chrisy Swol and Nicole Wershoven represented Southington well in the

The Blue Knights last reached the championship game in 2004 when they defeated Bristol Central 2-1 for their 14th title. “I’m not overconfident,” Bores said about the final. “I’ve said all along I think we’re one of the best teams in the state and I’ll continue to say that. Whoever we play, Westhill or Amity, I have a ton of respect for. They’re two excellent programs with good traditions, but we have a good tradition of our own, too. What I told the kids was, ‘There are two teams left in the state tournament and we’re one of them. Enjoy the moment. Not everyone gets to do this. We can’t assume that it’s going to happen. We’re here.’” No. 4 seed Masuk finished 21-5, and brings back everyone but one player next season. “I’m proud of my group. We wish Southington the best of luck,” Masuk coach Jacqui Sheftz said. “My entire team is back with the exception of one senior. We’ve been in this position for two years now, losing in the semifinals. Hopefully, the third time’s the charm.”

DiNello led off with a single to right field and, with one out, Jordan Gray walked. Justin Rose later walked to load the bases with two outs. Dave Palladino’s grounder to short was booted, allowing DiNello to score to make the score 4-1.

within 5-3 with an RBI single in the fourth. In the bottom half of the frame, the Knights wiggled out of a jam by turning a double play that started with Shaw at shortstop to end the inning. Southington caught a huge break in the bottom of the fifth. South Windsor had a runner on second with no outs. Pike flew out to center, DeGrandi tagged up and advanced to third, but was called out for leaving too early. Tyler Romano followed

with a single to center. Southington knotted the score in the top of the sixth inning. With one out, Rose singled, was balked to second and moved to third on a ground out. Shaw then laced an RBI double to left-center field to pull Southington within 5-4. South Windsor hooked starter Brian Finnegan in favor of reliever Dan Bettigole. Sirois greeted Bettigole (8-2) with his third hit of the game, an RBI single to right, to tie the score 5-5.

and every one of his players in an emotional post-game out in left field. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to miss our senior class,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not only just good players, but theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re great, great indi-

viduals and great human beings. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve done a lot of community service with these guys in the past year or so. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot of things Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to remember about this team.â&#x20AC;?
