Local physician to bring medical care to Haiti again By Kaitlyn Naples Special to The Citizen

The members of Hearts for Haiti will be returning once again to help the victims of the earthquake that hit seven months ago. “We have just started making plans to head down there mid-January,” said Dr. Anthony Ciardella, who will be traveling with the same medical professionals he traveled with in March. Ciardella said the same individuals who accompanied

him last time to Haiti all wished to return again. He also said there is room for other volunteers with medical and technology backgrounds. Instead of three clinics, Ciardella said the plan is to increase the number by one to make four clinics, including a satellite clinic. A telemedicine clinic has also been talked about which will help link the clinics to each other via computer, Ciardella said, and added he hopes to be able to link with doctors from the

United States so another set of eyes, if not more, can see what types of illnesses and diseases Hearts for Haiti will be seeing. “The problem we see right now is the lack of power there (Haiti),” the Southington physician said. “Power is dismal down there but we have been promised better generators and better water purification from last time.” The tele-medicine, Ciardella compared with Skype, is used currently between New Britain General Hospital and Bradley Hospital.

More than 100 children will return to school sporting more than new backpacks and shoes this fall. This year, they’ll hold their heads high with fresh haircuts as they enter a new grade, thanks to an addition to the Southington Community Services smart start program. For more than a decade, local high school students have worked with community services to provide less fortunate students with new backpacks chock full of school supplies. Families must qualify under WIC income guidelines. This year, the newlyopened Couture Salon has teamed up with the program offering qualifying families a free haircut for kids Kindergarten through high school. So far, 146 kids have received vouchers for a cut,

said Community Services Director Janet Mellon, which helps to ease parents’ financial pressures associated with buying new school attire for their children.

“It’s hard on families who are just trying to get by,” Mellon said. “It’s such a great program and the free hair-

SHS Wall of Honor By Dan Brechlin The Southington Citizen Four new names will be enshrined in the Southington High School Wall of Honor this fall.

After eight years at the helm of one of the town’s most wide-reaching nonprofit agencies, United Way Executive Director Richard Corcoran is leaving his position to return to the health care industry. “It was a very, very hard decision. I loved the agencies and the people I worked with,” Corcoran said Friday. His last day is expected to be Friday, Aug. 13. Corcoran, of Farmington, said he’s proud of the programs that were established during his tenure. “We struck out on a mission to benefit seniors and the youth in community,” he said. For example, the Retired Senior Volunteer Program, or RSVP, grew to about 60 volunteers who use their private cars to drive seniors to medical appointments. The United Way reimburses the volunteers for mileage and helps with insurance costs, Corcoran said. A transition program at Southington High School was started last year to help students who have returned from substance abuse rehabilitation. “We help with the transition” back to the community,” Corcoran said. That program is funded through Community Mental Health Affiliates Inc., one of the agencies supported by the United Way. “It’s successful and we’ll continue to fund it,” Corcoran said. Corcoran said that after spending 30 years

in health care, his time at the United Way gave him the opportunity to see things from a different perspective. “It was a total awakening. You can become sheltered,” he said. “You realize how many people are in need.” “He has a tremendous love for the community. He worked hard for any cause that needed to be addressed,” said board member James Bowes. On the professional front, Bowes said Corcoran was always very informative with the board members. “He always communicated with me very well,” Bowes said. Corcoran plans to remain involved with the United Way. “I won’t go too far,” he said. “I’m lucky with the great professional relationships I’ve had. But, I’ve also made a lot of friends.” Corcoran said he will help the board map out the annual fundraising campaign that begins in September. He said the board understood his yearning to return to the health care industry. A search committee will likely be formed to find a permanent successor, Corcoran said. Michael Killian, president of the board of directors, said board member and former Town Councilor Victoria Triano will serve as interim executive director. In the meantime, the United Way will continue with its planned fundraising events, he said, including the Comedy Night on Sept. 17 held in conjunction with the Southington Chamber of Commerce.

Social networking policy in place ... just in case By Dan Brechlin The Southington Citizen

Web sites like Facebook and Twitter have changed the way people talk, interact and communicate. People can post their thoughts and feelings with their friends, having the ability to comment or “like” the action,

others can “Tweet” an interesting link and some write about what they are doing. Some posts can be meaningless, some can have meaning and others can simply cause controversy. Southington Board of Education put a social networking policy in place in June, in order to recognize the grow-

ing trend, as well as the dangers, Chairman Brian Goralski said. “We wanted to make our workforce aware of the concerns,” Goralski said. “They have to be careful with what they do in and outside of work. The primary concern is to watch everything you do. The employees need to know they are responsible for everything they do.” Assistant Superintendent Howard J. Thiery III, who also serves as the liason to the policy committee, said policies like this are recommended to him often.

“This wasn’t recommended because there is anything going on in town or because there is anything going on in the school district,” Thiery said. “It was reccommended so that we had something on the books. Instead of leaving a vague interpretation of what is appropriate and innappropriate or instead of guessing, we decided to define it.” The policy was enacted shortly before a certain Facebook post recently caught the eyes of Connecticut citizens, as recently appointed Windsor Locks Superinten-

His post said he slept in until 10 a.m. and then browsed the Internet because offices were closed that day, according to a story by the Hartford Courant. Later, he updated it stating that “If every day is like this, it’ll be the best job ever.” Even more controversy came the first day on site when he posted, “My first day on site involved counseling an administrator to retire or face termination. :)” Since then, Telesca, who was previously assistant superintendent in Plainville, has been placed on administrative leave after the “inappropriate” comments came out, though the Windsor

Riding in fundraiser personal for some participants

Andrea Markavich was just 4 months old when her grandmother was diagnosed with a potentially debilitating disease: multiple sclerosis. Looking back, Markavich can’t remember a time when the effects of her grandmother’s illness weren’t apparent. By the time Markavich was 10, her grandmother, Eleanor Uihlein, was confined to a wheelchair, and by 11, Markavich was conducting her own research on the illness and writing in-depth papers on MS for school projects. A competitive athlete, Markavich even cycled in a Bike MS fundraiser with her grandfather when she was just 12. However, it wasn’t until 2005 when she joined Cardio Express Fitness Centers in

Southington as a manager that Markavich, a resident of Cheshire, truly became committed to the quest to help move science forward toward a cure. “Not long after I began working at Cardio Express, I learned the owner, Peter Rusconi, also had multiple sclerosis,” said Markavich, who See Fundraiser, page 12

For instance, the majority of Italians who came to Southington were from the Naples area, while Middletown has a lot of Sicilians, Secondo said. Nick DeLuco, who has been involved with the club for more than 50 years, said that when he went to Italy during World War II, he stopped in to see a cousin. “He said ‘So you’re an American. Are you Brooklyn, Chicago or Southington?’ “ DeLuco said. “It’s for sociability and companionship,” Secondo said of the Sons of Italy . “In the early days, I think it was for a sense of security, as well.

One such group in Southington, the Sons of Italy, will be celebrating its 100th anniversary this year. Peter Serafino, 90, has been involved with the club for about 67 years. He said the central location made the club the hub for Italians looking for something to do. “In those days, the nationalities stuck together,” Serafino said at the club while exchanging banter with other members during a Yankees game last week. “Forget having a car - you were lucky to have a bicycle in those days.” Art Secondo, Southington Chamber of Commerce president and secretary of the Sons of Italy , said the Italians who came to the area

Thiery said the employees also “have a right to know what the expectations of them are.” He also said he sees social networking as a “modern form of communication” and can have positive benefits. “The Southington Education Foundation has a Facebook page, for example,” he said. “It’s a way for them to get their message out there.” Though Goralski said he knows many people interact on the sites, he stays away.

Locks Board of Education has no social networking policy. With Southington having a policy in place, the board would have a clearer way of dealing with issues, officials said. While the policy states that the board recognizes the use of social media by its employees and welcomes the use of the first ammendment to speak on matters of public concern, the social networking does have its limits when it comes to the employees. Goralski said the board of education often receives advice from numerous sources, with the social networking policy coming in as legal advice to make sure the board was covered, should a problem occur. The policy becomes an issue if the use of social networking were to interfere with the work of the school district, is used to harass coworkers or members of the

community, creates a hostile work environment, breaches confidentiality of employees or students within the school district, or harms the goodwill or reputation of the board of education. There is also a set of rules and regultions employees must follow in order to not cause harm. The result of negative actions through the use of social networking may result in discipline, the policy states, which includes possible termination.

combined her zeal for business with her love for athletics when joining the staff at Cardio Express. “You would never know it to look at him. Unlike my grandmother, Peter’s MS is not so readily noticeable. However, despite the unseen, I know his illness has changed his life in many ways.” More than 6,000 Connecti-

cut residents, like Uihlein and Rusconi, live with multiple sclerosis, an autoimmune disease affecting the central nervous system. The cause is unknown and there currently is no cure. Symptoms can include, among other things, numbness in the limbs, difficulties with vision and speech, stiffness, loss of mobility and, in some more severe cases, total paralysis. The progress, severity and specific symptoms of MS in any one person cannot be

predicted. Rusconi, who lives in Vernon and owns and operates Cardio Express Fitness Centers in Southington, Tolland, Vernon, Manchester and Wethersfield, launched a Cardio Express Bike MS team in 2006. Markavich was one of the first employees to sign on to participate in the two-day benefit ride and has participated every year since. “I watched the slow downhill progression this disease

had on my grandmother,” said Markavich, who rides 25 miles each of the two days. “I can’t explain what it means to be able to do something to help make a difference.” Managers at each Cardio Express Fitness Center recruit cyclists for the Bike MS Cardio Express fundraising team. Since 2006, the Cardio Express team has recruited more than 250 cyclists and raised more than $140,000. Funds raised though chapter events, such as the Bike MS: Cardio Express Ride, ensure ongoing scientific research to find a better treatments and a cure for multiple sclerosis. These funds also provide for the continuation of vital programs and

services offered by the National MS Society, Connecticut Chapter to the more than 6,000 Connecticut residents battling the potentially debilitating effects of multiple sclerosis. Among those signing up to cycle on the Cardio Express team this year is gym member Michael Blanchard, 61. After retiring from corporate America, Blanchard became a mathematics teacher at Terryville High School in Plymouth. Always physically active, it wasn’t until after a foot injury laid him up that Blanchard, unable to run his weekly 30 miles, noticed a See Fundraiser, next page

When I realized it wasn’t getting any better with time, I went to see my doctor.” Blanchard, who has lived in Southington for more than 37 years, was referred to a local neurologist who, after a series of tests, diagnosed him with multiple sclerosis.

Letters to the Editor

Support Markley

To the editor: I write this letter today to ask those of you who will read this to please support Joe Markley in the upcoming November election. I can say that it is more of a plea, really, than a request because I’m passionate about Joe and his abilities. I’ve said this to Joe and I’ll say it to you; of all the candidates names you will see on the November ballot, I do not think you will find a more deserving or qualified candidate than Joe Markley. After all, he’s been there, done that. He’s also one of the nicest guys I’ve ever met, in or out of politics. That’s right, Joe Markley has already held the seat that he is running for. He was elected to the State Senate in 1984, the first Southington

resident to hold that seat in over 40 years. While there, he cut over $100 million from the state budget, rallied for the consolidation of agencies and co-sponsored the largest tax cut in Connecticut history. Sound like someone that we need in the Connecticut State Legislature in today’s out of control “tax and spend” atmosphere? He does to me. Back in 1991 Joe also fought valiantly against the state income tax as cofounder of the Connecticut Taxpayer Committee. His “Axe the Tax” rally drew 65,000 people to the state capitol in Hartford. Joe also served in Southington as the Southington Republican Town Chairman. Again, I ask, who is better qualified for this position? Joe has already proven himself once

and he is committed to doing it again. Joe is a regular, down to earth kind of guy and the type of politician more politicians should model themselves after. We need Joe Markley back in the Connecticut State Legislature – it’s that simple. Please, in today’s world of the Internet, it takes a few keystrokes to research a candidate and find out a little bit more about the man, his character and his politics. Better yet, meet Joe Markley in person. Spend a few minutes talking with him and you’ll see what I see, a man who deserves your support and your vote for State Senate in November. Please vote for Joe Markley this November. Joe Markley represents Southington, Cheshire, Wa-

Both he and his son, Garrett, and many other volunteers, put in endless hours of work so that these events will be a success. I have also engaged his legal services and advice in some very complex and personal matters in the past. His advice, concern and integrity to these delicate family matters, helped our family out at a time in our lives when we were fragile and vulnerable. He took the time to not only give us expert legal advice, but also took the time to give our grandson a “friend” to turn to if needed. Bryan is an honest, dedicated man to the town of Southington, and has served Southington honestly, fairly and with great integrity for many years, and I hope he will be voted back in and serve for many more years to come. JoAnne Salerno Southington

Thanks for your help

To the editor: I am writing to thank all the voters who turned out this past Tuesday to help me formally become their candidate for Probate Judge for the 18th District. I am over-

whelmed and overjoyed by the tremendous amount of support the voters showed me. As I stated when I petitioned to become a candidate, I decided to run for the people, not the politics. My campaign has burned the candle at both ends for the past few months and a small group of dedicated individuals committed to hard work moved a mountain as a result. To all those who helped me, I am forever indebted. I am also indebted to my wife Colleen and our children who sacrificed our family time and attention to allow me to run. As we celebrate this primary victory our focus now shifts to unifying the community at large in order to take on the upcoming November election. Our commitment to hard work and perseverance can only be magnified with everyone’s help this fall. I pledge to continue my fight to become your Probate Judge with the same vigor I have shown thus far. Our “common sense” campaign based on facts will continue to show that not only are we committed to winning and have experience, but also the integrity to serve the voters honorably. I thank you again for your support this primary election and continue to ask for your vote this November.

As a result of his MS, Blanchard experiences spasticity in his leg and extreme fatigue on hot, humid days but said his symptoms could be much worse and is glad that for now, they are manageable. He believes staying as physically active as possible is key to combating a disease that threatens to rob those is affects of mobility and independence. “I undergo daily injections to slow the progression of my MS,” said Blanchard. “But just as importantly, I include workouts at the gym several

They are always willing to support me, encouraging me all the way. Going to the gym, seeing friendly faces and working out is something I look forward to.” Markavich believes it’s important to invest in the lives of her clients and equally important to give back to community. “Bike MS is so important to me,” said Markavich, who, along with Cardio Express staff at all five locations, has helped recruited more than 100 participants for this year’s ride. “Knowing that I can make a difference in the lives of people like Michael, Peter and my grandmother is empowering and gratifying.” Markavich, Blanchard, Rusconi and the rest of the Cardio Express fundraising team will saddle up for the 2010 Bike MS: Cardio Express Ride Saturday, Aug. 28 and Sunday, Aug. 29.

This week, Gov. Jodi Rell is urging Connecticut consumers to take advantage of the state’s 10th annual sales tax-free week – a tax holiday that allows shoppers to purchase individual items of clothing and footwear under $300 without paying the usual 6 percent sales tax. This year’s sales tax-free weeks runs from Sunday, Aug. 15 through Saturday, Aug. 21. Did you know the “Universal Clothes Wringer” was invented and manufactured in Middlefield, Conn., in 1860? The “Universal Clothes Wringer” relieved people from the arduous task of wringing clothes by hand. —Office of Gov. M. Jodi Rell

Southington Library’s August Artist of the Month is James Gaffney, a native of Southington. Gaffney is an artist and graduate this past May with a bachelor of science in Studio Art. He works in oils and pastels and has exhibited his art around the state. Most recently his work was at Southern Connecticut State University and will be in exhibits around the state. Gaffney’s work is a direct reflection of his personal quest to self-identity. He is bluegreen colorblind and the colors produced are indicative of how he views the colors of the world around him. Using a variety of references from early childhood up to present day, James layers paints and pastels to create deeply personal works of art. His work will be on exhibit through the month of August at The Gallery at the Library. His work is also viewable on facebook.com as well as other online forums. A reception date to meet the artist is Aug. 18 at 7 p.m. The Gallery is open during normal library business hours, Monday through Thursday 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. and Friday and Saturday 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Visit www.southingtonlibrary.org for viewing past exhibits and contact information.

“My aunt had lived alone, with no children. When her dementia became worse, we had people come in to care for her. Unfortunately, we had many negative experiences. So I decided to look at memory care communities in the area. I knew about Masonicare’ s great reputation and heard that they were opening a memory care assisted living community called The Hearth.

Daniel Buden Daniel Buden, 64, of New Britain died unexpectedly Aug. 3, 2010, at his home. He was a funloving, carefree and independent spirit who proudly blazed his own trail in life. Born in New Britain on July 7, 1946, he graduated from E.C. Goodwin Technical High School in 1964 and followed in his father’s footsteps, becoming a highly skilled machinist. He held many positions of responsibility, including shop foreman and plant engineer, at a number of respected manufacturers over the years including Accurate Forging, Duracell and others. Fondly known as “Butch” to his immediate family members and close friends, he spent many years pursuing his passion of 10-pin bowling and was a 200average “shooter” back in the days when a 200 average meant something. He bowled for many years in the Sherwood Tenpin League at Laurel Lanes in Plainville. He also loved fishing for blues off the Connecticut coast;

HELP! OUR PANTRY IS EMPTY

HELP! Our pantry is running very low. The need for FOOD has never been greater. Hundreds of local families are in desperate need for food during these hot summer months. These families are invisible to most of us; but in fact they may be your neighbors or friends. The increase in the number of families coming to us for help has caused us to experience serious shortages. We are appealing to you to help us help local families with a donation of food so we can restock our pantry.

cuts make it even better.” Families also receive a $20 gift card to help pay for new shoes, said Mellon. The program is primarily run by students each year, like Southington High School students Ashley Zerbe and Melissa Reid. The team begins work each fall by purchasing backto-school supplies at discounted rates after school starts. They seek donations like a recent $1,000 gift from the Calvanese Foundation and many others, and then organize each backpack by the grade and gender of the future owner. So far more than 253 students have qualified to receive backpacks, as Ashley and Melissa prepare to hand them over to the eager students. “Every time we hand them out it’s nice to see the kids so happy about it,” Ashley said. “Last year one of the kids told me it was just like Christmas. I’ll always remember that.” As the girls scurry to organizing their supplies, Couture Salon owners Dean and Lisa Rodrigue find themselves just as busy clipping, buzzing and trimming at

their Meriden-Waterbury Turnpike salon. They’ve especially opened their shop every Monday this month to make sure each child receives a hair cut. So far a mix of elementaryschool aged kids and high schoolers, as well as a mix of girls and boys have visited for their back to school do’s, said Lisa Rodrigue. She said she was surprised and touched by the kids’ and their families’ appreciation. “Whether it’s been one child or a family of seven, the parents have all said how much just saving on a haircut can help,” Rodrigue said. “I just gave haircuts to a family of five children, and when you think about it, that really adds up. It’s been very rewarding.” Mellon said the town truly unites to ensure a successful program each year. From many residents making donations throughout the year, to the fire department helping to transfer supplies, to the board of education offering their building space for storage and hand outs, the backpack program has become a town staple. “I would doubt that any other town does as much as this one does,” Mellon said. “Especially the students, they work so hard at it.”

â&#x20AC;&#x153;It would help also if one of the volunteers had a technology or computer background,â&#x20AC;? he said. According to General Bill Marshall of Homeland Security, conditions in Haiti are worse than ever, Ciardella said. He has kept in contact with a few people currently in Haiti and said he has heard that the situation has not improved. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have heard of a lot of unrest down there,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People are getting upset with the government,â&#x20AC;? because the conditions have not improved. The duration of the trip being planned for mid-January is 10 days. When the group traveled last March, he said it took them three days to get to Port Au Prince. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We would like to fly directly into Port Au Prince,â&#x20AC;? he said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;this way we will have a full 10 days, maybe a few more or less, to help as

many people as we can.â&#x20AC;? When the group went to Haiti in March, they were each able to bring five bags of supplies on their flight. Ciardella said he hopes they will be able to bring the same amount each this time, and if any more volunteers decide to join, â&#x20AC;&#x153;that will be so much more supplies.â&#x20AC;? The will need extra supplies for the new clinic. Hearts for Haiti is organizing their trip with World Cares, who they worked with last March to plan the previous trip, and Ciardella said they have some buildings in mind where they can open their new clinic. World Cares also awarded Hearts for Haiti for their help March Ciardella said he has spoken with people who would like to make donations to Haiti; however he said the government there is very corrupt and donations are not guaranteed to make it where the individuals donat-

Sons Continued from page 8 moved to the country), in those days it was scary for them. This way, someone could speak their native tongue and have people understand them.” Along with a new coun-try, they also had to contend with new points of view. Secondo said his father, Horace Secondo, gave up his birth name, which was Italian for “praise be to God.” When his schoolteacher in New York found out what the name meant, the teacher thought it was sacrilegious and started calling him Horace, a name that stuck with him for the rest of his life. The ties between some members of the club are passed down from previous generations - the fathers of Secondo, club President Thomas DelSanto and member Joe La-Porte all came from the same town in Italy around the 1920s. Unlike other fraternal clubs that have seen declining membership, the Sons of Italy has remained strong, with between 350 and 400 Italian-American men among its ranks. That’s quite a drastic change from the nine people who started the organization. The club sponsored many athletic teams and card tournaments over the years to keep the members interested. Trophies dating back as far as 1924 still sit in a trophy case inside the bar area of the Sons of Italy building. A football signed by every member of the 1923 team sits next to the trophies. DeLuco said the relaxed but fun atmosphere of the organization is a big factor in retaining members. “We keep politics out of the club as much as we can. The only kinds of disputes here are over who the better bocce ball player is,” DuLuco said with a laugh. “No one tries to exploit you, so there is no pressure when you come in to have a drink or see friends.” Once the early immigrants found a place to be comfortable, that made it easier to become part of the larger community. DelSanto said the club gives back as much as it can to the town through scholarships, helping out at Community Services and co-sponsoring

Driving around the downtown area, it’s not hard to see the impact Italians have had on the town. Serafino’s family owns a pharmacy on Main Street, there are several Italian restaurants and the portion of lower Center Street in front of the club has red, white and green center-line striping. Even the common pronunciation of the town’s name is said to have come from Italian immigrants pronouncing it “sud-ing-tin” when it had previous been pronounced “sow-thington.” DelSanto said the Sons of Italy put in a lot of effort making the community a better place. Members continue that tradition by donating to organizations such as Community Services and Relay for Life. The group also sponsors a Little League team. “They never had a lot of money, but would help the community any way they could,” DelSanto said of past members of the club. The Italians got more involved in the community, they also began to become town leaders. A turning point occurred in 1981, when four members of the Sons of Italy were elected to the Town Council for the first time, all at once. With this year’s Italian-American Festival fresh in everyone’s minds, DelSanto said the festival is actually a way of honoring the traditions that had started to disappear over the years. The members of the Sons of Italy are celebrating their 100th anniversary with a special event on Aug. 29 at the Aqua Turf Club, 556 Mulberry St. Lt. Gov. Michael Fedele, who was born in Italy, is slated to be the guest speaker, and the day will be filled with live music, dancing and good food, Secondo said. “I feel an obligation and an honor to do this dinner,” Secondo said. The celebration begins with a special Mass, followed by the event from 1 to 8 p.m. The cost is $100 for non-members of the club and $50 for members. Tickets can be purchased at the Chamber of Commerce office at 1 Factory Square. For more information, call the chamber at (860) 628- 8036.
