Taste event returns By Harry Kyle The Southington Citizen For the eighth consecutive year, town residents and visitors will gather on the grounds of the Barnes Museum to sample and celebrate the Taste of Southington. The event, sponsored by the Southington Public Library & Barnes Museum Board of Directors, will be held on Wednesday, Aug. 12, from 4 to 7 p.m., on the grounds of the Barnes Museum, located at 85 N. Main St., in downtown Southington.

Organizers are hoping for similar results when this 13. Barnes Museum curator year’s affair is held on Aug. 12. Marie Secondo explained

how the event came to be. “It was partially driven by the Taste of Hartford program,” Secondo said. “Our previous director, Jay Johnston, and the library board of directors felt we had such a wonderful array of restaurants here in town, that we should try a program like that. That was seven years ago, and the event just keeps getting better. “Last year, we had our largest crowd ever,” Secondo said. “Over 2,000 people came out to enjoy the food and socialize with friends, both old and new. It was an all-around good time and kind of like an old-home celebration.” The event will feature the culinary offerings of a number of local eateries, with entertainment provided by The John Smayda Jazz Quartet.

By the time the 1980s rolled to a close, YMCA Camp Sloper had developed a reputation as a special place in the community. In the ’90s, Sloper evolved from a “special place” to a “specialty place,” with the day camp offering dozens of exciting specialty camps for children of all ages and interests that would help boost camp enrollment. With the introduction of new camp programs, ongoing facility improvements, an expanded group of dedicated staff and volunteers, and under the leadership of John Myers and Mark Pooler, YMCA Camp Sloper saw enrollment skyrocket from 1,012 campers in 1990 to more than 2,000 in 1999. This decade is defined by the camp’s new tag line, “Fun-AdventureTradition.” John Myers, camp director from 1990 to 1995, provided fun in the early 90s with many different events and programs. Sloper played host to numerous special events including the Tony LaHoud Road Race, triathlons, the Apple Valley Folk Festival, Native American powwows, medieval festivals, and many family events. YMCA programs in

the off-season of camp continued to grow in popularity. Hundreds of children participated in youth sports, Indian Guide campouts, and special holiday events like the Halloween Carnival, the Forest of Fright, the Carol Sing and the Easter Eggstravaganza. Summer provided fun at day camp with many specialty camps that included Sports Camp, Earth Camp, Musical Theater, Gymnastics, Dance and the especially popular Carpentry, Mountain Biking, and Skateboarding Camps in the later half of the decade. So preschoolers wouldn’t miss out on the fun at Sloper, the Wanderers program was created for ages 3 to 5 and held in a renovated room of the barn, that used to be the old sheep shed. The Low Ropes Course, a 25-foot climbing tower and the High Ropes Course with a 75-foot zip line were some of the exciting additions to program that brought a real sense of adventure to Sloper. These facilities were used as tools for team-building programs in the off-season, making it typical to find schools, youth and teen groups, and many business leaders developing trust, communication and cooperation skills at YMCA Camp Sloper. The adventure continued new day camp pro-

Perspective

Europe trip enlightening, says SHS student By Jacquelyn Ford-Cooperman Special to The Citizen “Life is a journey, not a destination.” This summer, July 1 to July 20, I traveled to France, Italy and Greece with the People to People Student Ambassador Program. The program was founded in 1956 by President Dwight D. Eisenhower to promote world peace through understanding. Throughout the trip, I had unforgettable experiences, which included singing in the Amphitheatre, racing in the original Olympic stadium, climbing the mouth of Mt. Vesuvius, rappelling in Assisi, Italy, singing in the talent show, and playing soccer and softball with French teenagers. My fondest memory was rappelling with the Full On program. This experience doesn’t stick out because of its rappelling, but because of what I overcame to actually rappel. Before I rappelled, I was very excited. But as I was climbing to the top of the ancient watch tower, my nerves started to kick in. The Full On staff was extremely

helpful and had many techniques to motivate me. I knew that going over the edge would be the hardest for me. As I was going over the edge, I was surprisingly tranquil. The whole experience was beautiful, not only scenically, but I learned that I could truly do anything I want to do if I put my mind to it. Europe and America both have its cultural differences. For example, in all of the countries their food was so delicious, but it was because

it was healthy. The food was wholesome, without preservatives, and everything was organic and fresh. On the other hand, Europeans and Americans have endless devotion and pride in their countries. I also found that many of our stereotypes of these people were extremely warped. For instance, Americans feel that French people are rude. When I was in France, no one was rude to me and they See Europe, next page

Europe Continued from page 4 were extremely helpful. There was the occasional rude person, but we have people like that in America as well. It is generalizations such as these that make international relations so hard and until we understand this, there will be little gain. When I was on the plane coming home, there was an “advertisement” for America. I couldn’t help, but tear up during this because it took me 20 days in Europe to dis-

cover the true meaning behind, “Proud to be an American.” Despite all of the hardships that America has gone through, we have triumphed. I fell in love with Europe, but America is home. America is truly the land of opportunity and we do have it good. I didn’t know what to expect from this trip. Would I be homesick? How will I do being without my parents and being with strangers? I am proud to say that while I

missed them terribly, especially my sister, I didn’t have an extreme case of homesickness like many of my peers experienced. I am confident in my newly acquired independence and confidence. This is especially comforting because in three years, I’ll be heading off to college. The lesson, don’t wait for life to happen to you. Challenge yourself and throw yourself into the world. And

if you have the chance to go out of the country, or even travel within the United States, take it. You never know what lessons you will learn or who you will meet. I can promise you this, the memories you make, you will cherish forever. I don’t recall ever seeing a headstone that read, “I experienced too much during my life.” Jacquelyn Ford-Cooperman is a student at Southington High School.

Museum features letters

On July 21, 1862, Andrew Upson, a resident of Plantsville enlisted in Company E. 20th Connecticut Volunteer Infantry, as a 1st Lieutenant. He was promoted to Captain, Company K, on October 23, 1863, wounded at Tracy City, Tenn., January 20, 1864 and died February 19, 1864. These are the bare facts of Captain Upson’s military service whose story would end there were in not for the fact that Upson wrote home to his wife, Elizabeth, at least twice a week. These letters were passed on to his son Frank, then to Frank’s daughter Leila. Leila mar-

ried Bradley Barnes, and no one in the Barnes family ever threw anything away. These letters have been carefully preserved in the historical archives at the Barnes Museum in Southington and are now available for viewing and reading online. Each letter is available in two formats – a digital scan of the actual letter and a transcription made by the Barnes Curator Marie Secondo. Captain Upson’s letters provide details about everyday life in a Civil War camp, See Letters, page 17

Education foundation kicks off educators and parent volunteers, all of whom realize the importance of effective educational programming in and beyond the public school classroom, round out the organization. “Being a part of this worthwhile endeavor, especially in the beginning stages, is truly an honor,” said Sheffy. “The long-term goal is to establish an endowment that will meet this community’s needs in terms of its educational system for generations to come.” The Southington Education Foundation is committed to enriching the minds and lives of the town’s most impressionable community members – its school students – and will support innovative and creative initiatives that expand upon exist-

ing educational opportunities. SEF operates independently of the Southington Board of Education and local tax dollars to secure funding for worthwhile, relevant instructional projects and grants that otherwise would not be available to Southington’s school children. At the heart of this initiative is sustainability. SEF seeks to cultivate long-lasting relationships with members of the Southington community and beyond who value ideas, creativity and achievement. A Web site is currently under construction and fundraising opportunities are in the planning stages. For information on how to support SEF, contact any board member.

The Southington Citizen — Friday, August 7, 2009

Restaurant owner shares his story of success By: Mike Ciardella Special to the Citizen

The story of the American dream is not always a bright tale, but the story of restaurant owner Stavros Papahristou is an inspiration for those who come to this country seeking success. “It’s a country that shows you the way of success. If you take the way it shows you, you will be successful,” said Papahristou, who goes by “Steve.” Papahristou has been in the restaurant business for 30 years. He came to America

from Greece at age 20. “I came to this country with $30 and an empty suitcase,” said Papahristou. He applied to learn English at a school, but after the applications $25 fee, he was left with only five dollars. “When they asked me for the $3,000, I told them ‘Let me make the $2,995 and I will be back,’” said Papahristou. He never went back. Papahristou started as a dishwasher at a restaurant. He opened Kings Pizza in Stratford, his first restaurant, at the age of 23. He later opened Eleni’s

1124206

restaurant in Glastonbury, named after his wife Eleni Papahristou, who now manages the restaurant named for her. After the birth of his three sons he wanted to expand. “I was looking to expand because I had 3 sons and they wanted to stay in the business,” said Papahristou. “I told my wife I was going to go to the bank and ask for one million dollars. She said they would never give it to me.” But now, Papahristou is the proud owner of Cava Restaurant in Southington. “I wanted to open a good restaurant with fair prices

so people could have a good meal,” said Papahristou, “My wife and son helped decorate the entire restaurant.” According to Papahristou, Cava is a popular dining location for many of the ESPN stars, due to its proximity to the station on West Street. He even has a signed box of wine from EPSN star Mike Ditka. “We get all the big EPSN stars here, if you see them on the television they have been to my restaurant,” said Papahristou. Papahristou reminds others that it is important to remember who the builders of

this great country were. He said for those native to this country to remember, I am who I am because my grandparents made the decision to come here. It’s important not to stop what made this country so great, which is diversity. “The future didn’t look very good I came from a poor family. Now I have 60 people working for me,” said Papahristou, “This is the land of opportunity for people like me.” Cava serves Italian cuisine and is located at 1615 West St., Southington, CT, www.cavact.com, (860) 6282020.

Kess’ Cafe, Napoli Imports and Sliders will make the trip from Plantsville to join in the fun, and the Pig Out BBQ, Rita’s Ice and Smokin’ with Chris will also be on hand. “All of these restaurants have been here before, so we must be doing something right to have them return,”

Secondo said. While admission to the event is free, the restaurants will be charging a minimal fee to sample their appetizing morsels. The museum will be open for free tours. “The first year, I handled all the tours myself,” Secondo said, “but the crowds just kept getting bigger, and I barely had time to sample the great food. I would head out to a booth, and someone would ask me a question and I’d head off in another direction. But now I have a wonderful group of volunteers to help me out. It’s a great way to see just what the museum has to offer.” “We decided to hold it on a Wednesday. That way, people can enjoy a nice meal on the lawn of the museum, and then head down to the green for the weekly Music on the Green concert series. It works out well. Our entertainment ends at 7 p.m., and the Music on the Green starts at the same time. So people can come down, have a nice meal and go to the concert at 7 p.m.” The Barnes Museum is a reminder of Southington’s historic past. Visitors are transported to an era when ladies wore elegant lace dresses and men donned top hats. The museum operates on its summer schedule until Labor Day. It will be open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays; 1 to 5 p.m. Tuesdays; and 1 to 7 p.m. Thursdays. To schedule a tour, contact the museum at (860) 628-5426.

Cafe Continued from page 1 “A senior executive of our company has a community connection with Jay Dobensky, the owner of Advanced Home Audio & Video,” Guertin said, “and they put their heads together and found some common ground.” Dobensky and his company were featured on the TV show “Man Caves,” on the Do It Yourself network, where he brought his audio and video skills to a Quonset hut in Camp Virginia, an Army facility in northern Kuwait, about 45 miles north of Kuwait City. His work included the installation of a 24-seat mini movie theater, complete with platform seating for the cinema-style chairs, a 120-inch movie screen and projector, a true stadium surround sound system, and a touchscreen remote control for one-button operation of the entire system. He also installed several flat panel televisions and a secondary stereo system. Dobensky also provided technical guidance for networking Xboxbased gaming “pods” featuring flat panel monitors and custom gaming chairs. “The president of Resolute Partners read about what I was doing at Camp Virginia,” Dobensky said, “and he called me and offered to help. “There already was a CyberZone Internet Cafe on the

and poignantly capture his desire to be at home with his wife and children. A devoutly religious man, Upson describes his first Sunday prayer meeting in camp: “For the 1st time I found out that there were men around us whose feelings and purposes were the same as our own – The prayers were earnest the remarks short, the singing sweet indeed and all enjoyed it much – I now have hopes that we shall be able to gather our scattered moral forces together and organize them for some definite conquests over Satan – There are forms of wickedness in every camp - It would be too much to expect the 20th to be free from all depravity – I was very highly pleased with the spirit of a man in the Derby Co. He was a deacon in the Church at Ansonia – But I can not dwell upon this further…” The captain was wounded on Jan. 20 in Tennessee and died almost one month later. Though he continued to

write home after his injury, it was clear he was becoming weaker. His last three letters were dictated to Private S.M. Smith. Upson’s final letter, dated February 15, 1864, reads: “My Dear Wife, You can hardly know the difficulty of dictating a letter under my present circumstances. And it is only my extreme desire to relieve your anxiety that I do as much as this. My wounds are daily gaining strength. My appetite is very good. I have no doubt in the course of time of appearing to you cured of these wounds. Every effort is made by the family to procure me good food and I enjoy it very much. I take my meals regularly and am conscious of increasing strength. My Dear Wife you must not expect to hear from me in this way. It is almost impossible to dictate a letter in this way. Ever Yours A. Upson SMS. PS. Please excuse …blurs and mistakes.” Captain Upson died four days later. To read all of the captain’s letters go to the Southington Library and Museum Web site at www.southingtonlibrary.org.

Senior Briefs Successful Aging

Morning Meetup part of the Southington Library health series, presents Successful Aging at the Southington Library on Aug. 14 at 10 a.m. A light breakfast will be provided. Staying healthy and living a better quality of life will be presented by The Center for Healthy Aging Facilitator, Pamela Smith. Studies indicate aging successfully starts with a healthy lifestyle. The younger we begin to focus on the three pillars of wellness: eat well, move more and be calm, the more positive outcome we will have for a better quality of life. Social en-

gagement and a positive mental attitude predict better cognitive and physical functioning in both older and younger people. Get together with friends while engaging in physical activity will provide “double bonus points” toward successful aging. Up until our mid-30s, we all tend to feel pretty invincible and thoughts of aging loom far ahead. As the years tick by, however, our thoughts turn more often to the changes that are happening to our minds and bodies. Starting in our 40s and 50s, more and more of us start to think about what lies ahead as far as health and vitality. The Southington Library

Finding Mystic

Looking Back Aug. 9 75 Years Ago: 1934, Meriden Record One of the most important projects to come before the borough electors since voting for installation of the sewer system several years ago is the proposed elimination of the dam at Stow’s pond in Plantsville. If approved, the rights to the dam may be purchased and then the river can be lowered. By lowering the river, water in the cellars of the Pexto and Southington Hardware companies will be eliminated and improvements made in the storm drainage system. Aug. 10 100 Years Ago: 1909, Meriden Morning Record Southington people are now using Meriden

gas and those who are fortunate enough to have it are very much pleased with the promptness of the Meriden Gas Light Co. The service started in the Milldale section of town and many people used it for the first time yesterday. Aug. 12 100 Years Ago: 1909, Meriden Daily Journal The Italian population is making great preparations for Columbus Day, which is now a legal holiday and falls on October 2. In former years Italians have set apart two days in August to honor San Sisto, the first Italian pope. This year this will be passed over in order to celebrate Columbus Day. — Compiled by Lynne Turdin

Two weeks ago, I made my first visit to a Connecticut beach. My wife, Rachel, and I made a day out of it. We went to Mystic Sea- Janowski port first. I particularly enjoyed the printer’s shop because it made me appreciate how much the news business has changed. I also enjoyed learning about barrel- and cask-making from the cooper. And boy did I enjoy lunch. We went to Seamen’s Inne Restaurant & Pub where I had some amazing sea scallops. Of course, the tall ships were a sight to see. I am baffled that anyone could live on these boats, though, especially someone who actually is tall. I think I would go stircrazy, not to mention the trauma from knocking my 6foot, 2-inch head on the less generous ceilings below deck. During our visit, antique boats were also in town for an annual event as an added treat. Several of the boats dated back to the 1920s, but looked brand new. The shipbuilding exhibits showed, among other things, how rope stuffed into cracks between boards strengthened the structure of tall ships. I think my favorite exhibit was the map gallery that showed the evolution of maps of the Pacific coast. Initially, many explorers be-

lieved California was an island. Other maps show it as an extended peninsula. Many maps exaggerated California’s westward bulge into the Pacific. As I made my way through the exhibit the shape and proportions of the coast slowly came into focus as they would appear on a map today. Speaking of maps, Mystic might not be on yours. Mystic is a bit like Plantsville, Marion and Milldale in that it is a neighborhood with a historical name, but without any political significance. However, Mystic is even more ephemeral in that it exists in two municipalities, Groton and Stonington, not one. As far as I can tell, Mystic Seaport is in Stonington. We concluded our day at Ocean Beach Park, clearly in New London. Rachel warned me not to expect waves on the Long Island Sound, so I was prepared for the calm, if not the cold. Preferring to avoid frostbite, we mostly read on the beach. Perhaps next time we will go to a beach in Rhode Island, but it’s good to know Connecticut has its own beaches that will do just fine in a pinch. Mystic Seaport is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., seven days a week. For more information, visit www.mysticseaport.org. Ocean Beach Park is open from Memorial Day to Labor Day.

One STEP at a Time

Students should read for pleasure By Kelly Berkmoes Special to The Citizen This month’s featured asset is reading for pleasure. Youth have this asset when they spend three or more hours reading for pleasure every week. According to the Search Institute’s statistics, only 22 percent of students who completed the attitudes and behaviors survey across the United States reported having the reading for pleasure asset. Questions in the survey that students responded “no” to were, “Do you enjoy reading” and “Do you read for fun, other than what is required for your school work.” Reading for pleasure not only helps with creativity and imagination, it also helps build character. Encourage youth to read, whether it is by reading to children at a young age or by becoming a reader yourself

and leading by example. If youth see how much adults enjoy reading, it may inspire them to start! For more ideas, see the asset building tips below. Other tips to building this asset: — Bring a young person to the Southington Public Library to participate in the summer reading programs. — Look for books at tag sales or second-hand stores and pass them along to children you know. — Ask children to read to you as they learn how to read. Show them that you are proud of their reading. — Ask a teenager to recommend a favorite book. Read the book and start a discussion later about the characters’ values. — Give your children or children you know books and magazine subscriptions as birthday and holiday gifts. — Make it a family ritual to read together in the evenings, with all televi-

sions, cell phones and computers off. Other ways to build assets with children can be found on the Search Institute’s Web site, www.searchinstitute.org. STEPS future plans include applying for the federal drug-free communities grant. This has prompted STEPS to formalize a governing structure and create a strategic plan to outline the future of this initiative. Based on the strategic prevention framework, 12 community sectors must be represented on the board of directors. These sectors are youth, parents, businesses, media, schools, youth-serving organizations, law enforcement, religious or fraternal organizations, civic or volunteer groups, healthcare professionals, local government and other organizations involved in reducing substance abuse. Each community sector will be represented on the board. The new

members for the 2009-10 term will be voted on at this months meeting, beginning their work September 1. The newly accepted STEPS bylaws allow 18 board members. Therefore there is an opportunity for 6 at-large members to be elected as well. STEPS currently has four standing committees: special events, public relations and marketing, youth and grants. The committees are looking for volunteers. If you are in-

terested in serving on one of our standing committees for this upcoming year, e-mail Kelly Berkmoes at berkmoesk@southington.org. For more information on the committees and how to get involved, visit www.southingtonsteps.org and click on committees. For more information on the STEPS initiative, contact Kelly Berkmoes at berkmoesk@southington.org or (860) 276-6281.

Letters Policy — E-mail letters to news@southingtoncitizen.com — The Citizen will print only one letter per person each month. — Letters should be 300 words or less. We will edit longer letters and their publication will be delayed. — We will only print signed letters. — Please include your phone number so we can contact you. — Submit letters by noon Monday for Friday publication.

Letters to the Editor Still no answer To the editor: On Thursday, July 23, I had the privilege of participating in the AARP Tele Town Hall where the whole of the United States was plugged into a telethon audience conducted and orchestrated by the largest lobbying group in the world. I was asked at 8:25 to read my question to a screener who proceeded to take three minutes to write my question down and stumble over the pronunciation of my name. The telethon ended at 8:30. Needless to say I never got on the national network. I would like to share my question with all readers: “If the president’s health care plan is so good, why are the senators, representatives, the president their families, their staff and all government workers not in-

cluded in this great new health plan? Why is it that what is good for the peasants is not good enough for the Washington elite? It seems we have a three-tier untouchable health plan. A great one for the Washington politicians their families and staff. A second one, a good one, for the government workers, and a third one, what is left, for the proletariat. So my question is Mr. Moderator; Are the president, the senators and the representatives, their families and staff, and the government workers also going to join in on the same health plan, and if not, why not?” They knew who I was from my phone number and my zip code. They knew what my question was because I had to submit it three days prior. You do the math. Leonard Marcheselle Plantsville

Grateful thanks To the editor: I would like to thank everyone who came out last week to our tag sale. We are trying to help our son and his family (my son, his girlfriend, their 2-year-old son and dog) get back to Connecticut to be with family before going out to their jobs in Arizona. We have not seen them since October 2008. They are stranded in a tent in California with no reliable vehicle to get back here. They bought a camper to go to Arizona and the axle broke, the radiator went. And after fixing it all, they found it had a cracked head. Then they bought the truck they have now. The person who sold it said it just needed tires, the transmission is going, and it shakes so bad they are afraid to get in it. They are living day to day. It

is cold and rainy. Casey (the girlfriend) works a few days a week, and my son takes odd jobs when he can find them. They have almost no money. They are on state assistance. Words cannot express how grateful we are to the people who just stopped by to inquire about the kids. Some did not buy anything, but just donated. Some bought but gave more than we were asking just to donate. Thank you again, everyone, your kindness will not soon be forgotten. Karen Satagaj Southington

Players thanked To the editor: I am the president of the Southington Gridiron Club, and I received this letter from an elderly homeowner in Southington in need of home cleanup/maintenance.

“To Joe Pesce and the rest of the SHS football team, I want to thank you boys for the wonderful job you did cleaning out my house. Everything was done in order. It was very nice of you to donate your time. I appreciate everything you did. You boys were very polite. My cellar was cleaned up very good. God bless you all.” She was chosen by the Americares/Homefront nonprofit agency to have her home cleaned up and have some repairs done. Every year for the past several years members of the Southington Blue Knight Football team participates with large numbers, usually 20 to 30 players, under the direction of Kathy Reinhard.

Inquiring Photographer If you could own a second home anywhere in the world, where would it be? Compiled by Harry Kyle

I would love to own a home in Ogunquit, Maine. That area is very relaxing to me. It’s not too loud, and a nice place to go to and unwind. The beach is very nice, too. Felicia Liebler Southington

Book drop-off container full The book drop-off container located on High Street, near the back parking lot of the Southington-Cheshire Community YMCA is full. People are asked not to leave materials there until the depositary has been emptied, which should occur in the two weeks. The depository is the focal point of the Got Books fundraiser being held by the Kiltonic American Legion Post 72 Auxiliary. Anyone wishing more information on the program can call the legion at (860) 6214243.

Sloper Continued from page 2 It would definitely be in Barcelona, Spain. I like hot weather, and I hear it gets very hot there. It’s an exciting town, with lots to do and see. Plus, you get to take a siesta every day. Sabrina Dyson Southington

I would like to own a second home in Breckenridge, Colo. It’s nestled in the mountains, and is a very beautiful place in the wintertime. I love to go skiing in the winter and whitewater rafting in the summer, and what better place than Breckenridge to do both. Peter Schulze Southington It would definitely be in Maine, and probably along the sea coast. Maybe in the York Beach area. My sister lives in Augusta, and when we go to visit her, we go up the coastline as far as we can. Sometimes, we just go to the coastline, and not visit her at all. Carla Andreas Southington I would definitely have a place in Chatham on Cape Cod. There are nice beaches nearby, and the pace of life is a lot slower. Everyone is relaxed there, even if they’re on vacation. And all the little shops would work for me. Jessica Franzo Southington

they attended camp for four weeks that summer. The tradition of volunteerism at YMCA Camp Sloper continued throughout the decade. Weekend work groups were formed to maintain and improve the facility. Throughout the ’90s, the Woodland Management Subcommittee, led by Ralph Mann and Harry Kastner, completed the majority of the trail work, bridge construction and brush clearing. Other facility improvements completed by volunteers included a playscape by the waterfront, the 80-foot Super Slide donated by Irene and Leo Charette, and the YMCA Skate Park. Volunteers also renovated the barn and preschool area for the Wanderers and began developments on the West Coast of Sloper Pond. Other traditions that also stood strong in the ’90s included camp activities like swimming, archery, boating, arts and crafts, nature exploration and family nights,

which remained very popular. Sloper continued to host international counselors from all over the world, and special needs campers from Berlin and New Britain continued to be part of our Camp Kiwanis program. Mark Pooler, camp director from 1996 to present, and the rest of the camp staff kept the tradition of LOGS, (Lots of Great Stuff), going strong in the later half of the decade with tales of Sloper folklore, like the mysterious sightings of Mamma Cass, the legendary friendly turtle that lives in the pond. Many traditional camp songs were enjoyed such as “I Like Bananas, Coconuts and Grapes,” “From East to West,” and “Boom Chicca Boom,” as well as the alltime favorite camp skits, the “Bumble Bee,” the “Doctor’s Office” and the “Great Swami.” With more than 500 campers a day, the old LOGS area was beginning to get overcrowded and plans developed for the new amphitheater. In 1999, YMCA Camp Sloper celebrated its 50th anniversary. Several events were planned including the

50th Anniversary Picnic in the summer, a gala at the Aqua Turf Club that would serve as a fundraiser for the new 700-seat amphitheater, constructed by the Sloper volunteers. Many of the former staff and campers came back to visit Sloper over the summer to rekindle their childhood memories and see some old friends. At the close of the decade, Tony Palmieri, chairman of the Outdoor Center Committee, led the push to bring Sloper into the next millennium. He and other staff and volunteers worked with the architectural firm Milone and MacBroom to complete a master plan for the future of the YMCA Camp Sloper Outdoor Center. This plan focused on enhancing the present day camp program, expanding teambuilding and nature programs, exploring potential childcare opportunities for the community, and continuing to develop community and membership enhancements. Mark Pooler is the camp director of the YMCA Camp Sloper Outdoor Center.

Southington Country Club: New face, same name By Michael Guerrera The Southington Citizen Rain, thunder, lightning, tornadoes, golf ball-sized hail – we’ve had it all during this wacky summer weather. Then throw in the still downtrodden economy and we have a recipe for disaster for one of summer’s greatest joys, the golf course. Southington Country Club, well, they missed the memo. “Play has been about the same as it’s been in years past despite the weather and the economy, so we’re excited about that,” Paul Brown, head golf pro at SCC, said.

So what is attracting people to the course even with outside factors playing a huge role? “We’re very customer friendly, golfer-friendly; conditions are outstanding,” Brown said. “For a non-country club, we really have country club conditions.” However, it wasn’t always ‘roses’ at SCC. Prior to new ownership that took over about five years ago, around the same time Brown joined, the Country Club of Southington, as it was formerly called, was a much less pleasant place. “They (golfers) remember it from the previous owner-

According to Paul Brown... Hardest Holes... Citizen photos by Michael Guerrera

Above: Players play from the fairway on the front nine on a beautiful day at Southington Country Club. Below: The fountain (bottom left) adorns the back nine, one of the many attractive features of the course.

6th - par 5 (front nine): “Very long par five, uphill, three-shot hole. Probably the hardest green on the course and it’s just a long hole. It has a brook that navigates across the fairway, so if you hit a poor drive, you’re facing it on your second shot. The third shot is usually uphill from a sloping lie and the green is unbelievably tough. You have to have two good shots to make the third shot.” 15th - par 3 (back nine) “It’s probably one of the toughest par threes in the state if you play it from all the way back. It’s 245 yards and it’s really another difficult green; it’s downhill which leads to a blind shot. I think I’ve parred that hole one out of ten times, it’s a very though hole, it’s almost a par four.”

Easiest Holes... 2nd - par 4 (front nine): “It’s about 320 yards, you can almost drive it. Out of bounds on the left is the only thing you have to avoid on that hole. You can keep it right, there’s some room on the right; it’s very ‘birdieable,’ it’s a nice hole.” 12th - par 3 (back nine): “About 118 yards long, but I think people make more bogies on that hole than they’d think – it seems easy.”

Favorite hole... 4th - par 5 (front nine): “I think four would be a hole people have a lot of fun on because you can make a nice birdie or even an eagle there. They do hate the green though.”

Toughest Obstacle: Hilly greens

"The more I play the course, the more I enjoy it and I really enjoy the facility a lot. People say that it doesn’t look on the card like it’s something, but the characteristics, the little subtleties of it, make it a real joy to be here." -Paul Brown talks about Southington Country Club.

Thoughts on NFL justice By Sarah Gomes The Southington Citizen This summer has brought its share of whirlwind weather to our state and whirlwind events to the NFL, with the most recent being that of the indictment of former New York Giants wide receiver Plaxico Burress by a grand jury. The charges stem from an incident last November in which he accidentally shot himself in the leg at a New York nightclub. The one-time Super Bowl touchdown-

From the sports girl catching hero faces a minimum sentence of 3 and a half years jail time, according to New York law. Sports-savvy legal analyst Lester Munson says it is likely he will be convicted at the trial and he quite possibly would face more than the two years now offered by the prosecutors. Making the realization that Burress would face at least two years in jail for shooting himself in the leg. Fellow position player

Need a Plumber? Kitchen & Bathroom Remodeling is our Specialty!

Donte Stallworth spent 24 days in jail, released last month, after the Cleveland Brown struck and killed a pedestrian in an early-morning crash back in March. The 28-year-old pled guilty to DUI manslaughter and has been suspended indefinitely by the NFL, but does not look to face anymore jail time at this present date. So Stallworth killed a human being and spent less than a month in jail, but Burress shot himself in the leg and might face a minimum of 3 and a half years in said jail? Now to one of the biggest stories in the NFL this offseason and that’s the reinstatement of a now-free and former Falcon quarterback Michael Vick. After serving 18 months in prison for running a dog-fighting ring, Vick became a free man and late last month was reinstated into the league by Commissioner Roger Goodell. Vick is allowed to immediately take part in preseason practices, workouts and meetings and can play in the final two preseason games if he can find a team that will sign him. According to ESPN’s Sal Paolantonio, a source close to Vick expressed “shock” over the severity of Vick’s punish-

ment. HUH!? The guy admitted bankrolling a dog-fighting operation on his property in Virginia, only pleading guilty after his three co-defendants had already done so. They (the source close to Vick) told of how Vick participated in the killing of dogs that didn’t perform well in test fights by shooting, hanging, drowning or slamming them to the ground. And he only got 18 months behind bars, while Burress will face a minimum of 42 for shooting himself in the leg. I’m not saying that Burress bringing a loaded gun into a nightclub in his pants was a good or safe idea, but in my book of appalling acts it doesn’t match up to what Vick did, and when it comes to a situation that makes a person sick to their stomach, it can’t compare to what the family of the pedestrian involved in the Stallworth DUI is going through. Twenty-four days, 18 months, 2 years are the three separate charges for manslaughter, torturing and killing dogs, and weapons charges. Which number would you pair with each offense?

Activity leads to better learning For many children in the Southington area, the arrival of the back-to-school season means they’ll soon be hitting the field as well as hitting the books. But, for those students currently not involved in a fall sport, Play It Again Sports of Southington is offering compelling reasons for why they should be. ners, which is free with no membership required. As a SeniorNet member you can enroll in courses year round at low course fees, have access to lab computers for practice and help during scheduled times, and receive news updates via email. Annual dues are $40. For more information, call Peter Freeman at (860) 479 9064 or e-mail contact@southingtonseniornet.org. or visit: www.southingtonseniornet.org.

“Everyone knows that regular exercise and activity is good for a child’s physical development, but the mental benefits that can be reaped are equally important,” said Janet Zygmunt, of Play It Again Sports of Southington, which buys and sells quality used sports and fitness equipment. “As children adjust new academic challenges, involvement in an organized sport can stimulate their brains and boost self-esteem.” According to Team-Up for Youth, an organization dedicated to strengthening youth and communities through the power of sports, children who participate in sports have better academic outcomes in the classroom. For example, adolescents who engage in moderate physical activity five or more times a week are more likely to achieve an ‘A’ in math and science than their peers. Furthermore, sports participation has been associated with lower dropout rates

among high school students. “Considering the links that have been made between performance on the field and performance in the classroom, we encourage parents in the Southington area to enroll their children in afterschool sports,” said Zygmunt. “Even if you have tried in the past or feel that your child may not be athletically inclined.” With sports options such as soccer, lacrosse, field hockey and football, Zygmunt notes that the fall season offers a variety of activities suited for both genders and a wide range of ages. For those students looking for more of an individual pursuit, wrestling and cross country are considerations. Zygmunt added, “If participation is viewed as a positive experience, then the child will begin to develop confidence in his or her abilities, which will motivate him or her to better respond to challenges in the classroom.”

A Father & Son Team That Can’t Be Beat!

Zygmunt does acknowledge that the process of trying out different sports can turn into an expensive endeavor for parents, since they are often required to purchase different gear for each sport. But, Zygmunt notes that at Play It Again Sports of Southington, used gear that is in good condition can be traded in for new merchandise and equipment. “As children switch between sports and outgrow their gear, parents may find themselves with an attic or a garage filled with perfectly good but unused equipment,” said Zygmunt. “At Play It Again Sports of Southington those items can act as cash when they are traded in for new or gentlyused merchandise. That way, helping your child find his or her sports niche doesn’t have to break your bank.” For more information about Play It Again Sports of Southington, contact Janet Zygmunt at (860) 621-0045.

Sant Ocean Hall

Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Up Under the Sea? Will you be visiting Washington, D.C., this summer? Many families head to our nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s capital for summer vacations. Washington might not seem like a likely place to learn more about Earthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s oceans. But a new exhibit there takes us into the deep waters of the sea to find out what scientists are learning about this mysterious part of our world. This week, The Mini Page explores the Sant Ocean Hall at the Smithsonianâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s National Museum of Natural History. This new exhibit is a project created by the museum and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).

One ocean Developers of the Sant Ocean Hall started out with one main idea: â&#x20AC;&#x153;The ocean is a global system essential to all life, including yours.â&#x20AC;? If you look at a globe, you can see what they mean. Our planet really has just one large ocean, with different basins, or depressions in the surface of the Earth where water gathers. The massive ocean makes our planet habitable â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a place where we can live.

A full-scale model of a North Atlantic right whale hangs in Sant Ocean Hall at the Smithsonianâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s National Museum of Natural History. At 45 feet, it is an exact replica of Phoenix, a real actual whale that exists in the wild today.

Ocean planet

A sea with no water?

You may not live near the ocean. But even if the ocean is thousands of miles away, you still need it to live. s !LL THE WATER YOU DRINK OR USE FOR bathing or cooking was once a part of the ocean and will be a part of the ocean again. s 4AKE TWO DEEP BREATHS 9OU CAN thank the ocean for one of them. The ocean produces at least half of the oxygen we need to breathe. s 4HE OCEAN NEVER STOPS MOVING 4HE circulation, or movement, of water around the planet affects our climate and changes our weather patterns.

Visitors might be surprised to find that there is only one tank of water in Sant Ocean Hall. (It holds living coral reefs and many other species.) The hall is in an old building, so it was not possible to build many large tanks for water. Instead, the designers used computers, film and other moving images to make visitors feel like theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re underwater. The Sant Ocean Hall features 674 specimens and models that help visitors learn more about how the ocean helps us and how we are affecting the ocean.

The Southington Citizen — Friday, August 7, 2009

Scientists have decided on five critical, or important, issues affecting our oceans.

Habitat transformation Most people in the world live within 50 miles of a coastline. Humans have homes, hotels, factories, agriculture and places to have fun near these coastlines. But all that building transforms, or changes, the ocean. For example, the Sant Ocean Hall displays show how we’ve pumped sand in to make bigger beach areas and changed the shape of the coastline.

Not enough fish People in the United States and all around the world love to eat fish. But we are taking fish out of the sea faster than they can reproduce. This means some species are disappearing. In the exhibit, visitors can use an interactive display to figure out ways to better manage commercial, or business, fishing.

To conserve fish numbers, visitors might choose to limit the number of fishing boats that can work in one area, or restrict the methods fishermen can use for harvesting.

Water Around the World

Invasive species Animals and plants that once lived in one area of the ocean are now being moved to other areas. For example, a ship might take on water for ballast* in a port in Europe and sail to the United States. When it gets to the East Coast, it unloads its ballast into the ocean — along with plants and animals that rode across the ocean in the ballast tanks. This introduces new species to a balanced ecosystem. These “alien” newcomers may take over.

Pollution Each of us affects the ocean every day. For instance, your family might put fertilizer or bug killer on the lawn. When it rains, those chemicals wash down the drain and run to a river. The river runs to the ocean, and the chemicals end up in the ocean. These chemicals might kill animals or change the oxygen level in the water.

Climate change At the Sant Ocean Hall, visitors can choose different ways to improve their own effects on the climate. They can also see how polar bears are affected as arctic ice melts, reducing the bears’ hunting grounds. The Mini Page thanks Michele Urie, Jill Johnson and Elizabeth Ban with Sant Ocean Hall, and NOAA for help with this issue.

*Ballast is something a ship takes on to make it heavier when it is not carrying cargo.
