Despite a rain showers on Saturday, the festival rebounded with a great day on Sunday, which included the road race. Rain puts small damper on apple festival By LINDSAY CAREY Staff Writer The first weekend of the Apple Harvest Festival brought in crowds for Family Night on Friday and the parade on Sunday, despite the rain showers that caused the event s cancellation on Saturday. Between the opening ceremonies and Family Night, the festival was packed on Friday. Families and friends chowed down on their favorite Apple Harvest Festival foods, something they anticipate every year. Family Night was also a hit, because of the carnival rides. People were able to take advantage of all the carnival rides with one Arts 18 Classified 24 Food 23 Good Times 17 Health 10 Listings 21 wristband, said Chris Palmieri, co-chair of the Supervisory Committee. I think it went really well. For the first time this year, there will be Family Night on the second Friday of the festival as well. The rain on Saturday forced the committee to make cancellations and postpone certain events. We started by closing up until five, but then we had to make decision around 2 p.m. and we decided not to open, said Palmieri. It s a good thing, because there was a torrential downpour. The Apple Fritter Booth was the only booth that opened on Saturday, despite the rain. The bed races were Milestones 11 Obituaries 12 Sports 38 expected to make a big come back at the festival this year, after not being held for a couple years. Mary DeCroce was leading the races, with nine beds signed up. However, because of the rain on Saturday, the highly anticipated bed races were cancelled completely from the festival. Palmieri said there was no other time available to reschedule them. The fireworks were rescheduled to 9 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 11. So many of our neighboring communities have fireworks at other times of the year, but no one really does them in October, said Palmieri. The fireworks display draws people to the festival. Another event that brings people to the festival is the annual parade. According to Palmieri, See FESTIVAL, page 6 By LINDSAY CAREY Staff Writer The Board of Park Commissioners recently listened to members of the community regarding a potential smoking ban for parks in town, as a way to protect children. It s a better way to go for the children to try to keep tobacco products away from them, said board Chairman Michael Fasulo. The proposal for smoke free parks is part of a movement to reduce the youth s exposure to tobacco products in Southington. The town recently passed an ordinance to keep tobacco Full and complete Apple Harvest Festival Road Race results, page 38 Board of Park Commissioners looking at potential smoking ban products and smoking devices out of sight in businesses that sell these products. Representatives from Southington s Town-wide Effort to Promote Success (STEPS) spoke in favor of the ban. Kelly Leppard, Youth Prevention coordinator and coordinator of the STEPS Coalition said she feels it necessary to not just to regulate tobacco sale, but also tobacco use in areas around town in order to keep children in town healthy. Leppard said that the Youth Council recently hung 53 posters downtown for the Apple Harvest Festival, asking people not to smoke. Obviously we can t ban smoking, but we can ask that people keep the festival smoke free, out of consideration for others, said Leppard. Trevor Rogers, Catherine Myers, Marissa Mattarazzo, and Isabella Feest, Members of the STEPS Youth Council, spoke to the Park Commissioners at the public hearing in favor of the ban. Rogers pointed out that smoking around children compromises their health and safety, while Myers See SMOKING, page 6 STEPS secures five more years of funding By LINDSAY CAREY Staff Writer Southington s Townwide Effort to Promote Success (STEPS) has received another five years of funding from The Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP) and the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, through the Drug Free Community Grant.

2 2 To advertise, call (860) Spooky Kingdom teams up with drive-in for Halloween event By ED HARRIS Editor The Southington Drive-in s Halloween extravaganza will get a little spookier this year, thanks to the addition of Spooky Kingdom. I am so excited to be partnering with them, said Dawn Miceli, a town coun- cilor and member of the Drive-in Committee. Howard and Bonnie Burke began running Spooky Kingdom at their Lovely Drive home nine years ago. It started out with several hand-carved tombstones and has grown to include 15 different animated attractions. A trip through Spooky Kingdom was free, though the Burke family asked guests to make a donation to the Connecticut Alzheimer s Association. The family was able to raise $2, last year. We tossed around the idea of passing it on last year because it had become too much for us, said Bonnie. The reason we would like to pass it on is that the community sees Spooky Kingdom as a Southington tradition and they look forward to the event each year. We really don t want to let any of those people down. The Burke family will loan all of the materials and attractions and offer consultation, free of charge. Spooky Kingdom is just the latest addition to the Halloween festival that is held yearly at the drive-in. This is the fourth year that the Drive-in Committee will host the festival, though one year was canceled due to a freak ice storm. They have grown exponentially, said Miceli, speaking of the festivals, which sees thousands of people visit the drive-in grounds throughout the day. The festival starts at 2 p.m., on Saturday, Oct. 25, on the grounds of the drivein. Everything is free, with the purchase of a car admission, $10 for Southington residents and $15 for out-of-towners. Attractions include a haunted hay ride, where the Spooky Kingdom will take part, pony rides, a mini touch a truck event, an apple cannon launcher, a pie eating contest, bobbing for apples and face painting. At 5 p.m., there will be trunk or treating and a costume parade for the kids. The drive-in will feature a double bill up on the big screen, beginning at 6 p.m. The first movie shown will be Monsters University. The second ROOFING & SIDING INC. movie, the original A Nightmare on Elm Street, will be shown, following a brief interlude to allow parents to bring their children home. There is a lot going on, said Miceli. The host groups for the event are Southington Community Cultural Arts (SCCA) and the Southington Valley Midget Football League. Youths from STEPS will continue to help out with the haunted hayride again this year. Southington s Hometown Professional Since 1958 All At An Affordable Price!

3 Police Log...page 5 By LINDSAY CAREY Staff Writer Mary DeCroce will be honored as the 2014 Leading Ladies Award Receipt at their annual luncheon on Friday, Oct. 24, at the Aqua Turf Club. Donna Ayer, from the Leading Ladies, said that DeCroce s success as president of the Southington Community Cultural Arts in securing the Gura Building for a community art center made her stand out this year as the woman to recognize. She has just put in such tireless dedication into making our art center a reality, said Ayer. We just thought this would be a good time to recognize her for all efforts. DeCroce said being able to save the Gura Building, fundraise and receive enough funds to start the renovation for the arts center is one of her most rewarding projects. She said that the architects for the project are working on the final plan, which has to go before the Planning and Zoning Committee. DeCroce said she is hoping to start the renovation this month. On top of the plans, DeCroce and the SCCA are still fundraising, because they still need to raise another $250,000 to complete the renovation within the next year. DeCroce is seeking grants and donations of any size to complete the project. The arts center, however, is not the only thing that she will be honored for at the luncheon. Despite her success this year, she said she was surprised by the award and feels honored to be recognized. It s an adventure, said DeCroce. I love what I do, so I think that makes a big difference when what you re doing isn t work. DeCroce is known for her murals and mosaics all over town, including Rails to Trails, the Pepper Pot, Southington Care Center, the library, and the dog park, along with many others in Southington and around Connecticut. Things are never accomplished by one person, they re accomplished by people coming together, said DeCroce. She said one of her favorite murals to work on was the Because of 26, which is along Rails to Trails to commemorate the victims of the Sandy Hook shooting. According to DeCroce, over 30 artists, including children and adults, helped paint the mural. She also said her recent memorial mural for Ben Buckley, a young Southington boy who passed away from an asthma attack earlier this year, was another Our Town rewarding project. It was nice to see the artwork help [the Buckley family] heal and watch the community come together for someone, said DeCroce. Besides her mural work, DeCroce is also an art teacher at the Southington Community YMCA and St. Dominic School. For the last four years, the Leading Ladies have given out an award to a woman who is not only deserving of honor for her achievements, but lives a life that reflects the Leading Ladies mission. The group s mission is to make a contribution to the community through business, civic commitment or volunteerism. The Leading Ladies luncheon is on its 15th year and it includes a sit down lunch and a signature cocktail. There is also usually some form of entertainment Healthy Living...page 10 Good Times...page 17 DeCroce to be honored at Leading Ladies lunch Mary DeCroce De Bishop s PEST CONTROL Structural Pests Ants Bees Spiders Silverfish Earwigs Carpenter Bees and More...! Termite Inspections Jeff DeBishop debtrees@aol.com Lic# B-2548 Monthly Accounts Welcome at the luncheon, and, this year, the group has invited Lyn Dillies, an award winning female illusionist. We always try to have someone who is inspirational, but fun, said Ayer. Dillies has been performing illusions for over two decades and is also the first female illusionist to receive the Milbourne Christopher Award from the Society of American Magicians. Talk about women talking charge and leading in their profession, to be the first woman to receive that prestigious award is incredible, said Ayer. She s a pioneering woman and that s the kind of thing we like to recognize at our event. Dillies will perform her show and then talk about her accomplishments. According to Ayer, the Leading Ladies luncheon is an opportunity to gather and recognize women, but also to mingle and celebrate everyone s accomplishments. Tickets for the Leading Ladies luncheon cost $40 per person. However, the proceeds go directly back into helping women in Southington. The proceeds will go directly into the Leading Ladies Immediate Assistance Fund, which provides up to $200 of financial assistance for local women in need. Since we re women we are multi-taskers, said Ayer. This is not just a lunch and to be entertained, we are raising money for the girls and women in Southington that need a helping hand whether it be for a sudden move, for utilities, an outfit for a new job interview, or for education or training.

4 4 To advertise, call (860) Zumba studio to host a cancer walk By LINDSAY CAREY Staff Writer Cardio Party Fitness Studios in Southington is hosting its second annual Walk for a Cure on Sunday, Oct. 19. This year, the 5-K walk will start at the Southington Volunteer Fire Dept., Engine Co, No. 3 at 35 Clark St., in Milldale. Cardio Party Fitness Studios Owner Sandra Dizenzo said that she decided to host this event last year, because she has been personally affected by cancer. Dizenzo lost both of her parents to the disease. This year s walk will be dedicated to her parents Ernest Plourde and Debra Plourde, as well as Lena Plourde, Tony Vecchio, Claire DiCenzo and Southington police officer Michael Shanley, who recently passed away. Michael Shanley was a dear friend, said Dizenzo. It s a cause that s close to my heart. I dedicate it to those that we lost, but also to anyone who is battling. Donations will be accepted at the walk and will go directly to the American Cancer Society. Dizenzo said that she is hoping that this year even more people come to the event, so that more money will go towards finding a cure. It s good to come together as a community for something bigger than ourselves and raise money for a good cause, said Dizenzo. Other than walking, Dizenzo has some additional activities in mind for the event. As a Zumba studio instructor, Dizenzo said that she may start the event with some music to get everyone warmed up and excited for the walk. She is also planning on having a crafts table for the kids, so that they can make cut out angels and decorate them in memory of someone who passed away from the disease or for a loved one who is still battling cancer. Dizenzo said that the kids will be free to take their angels home with them or they can give them to her so she can hang them in her studio.

The FVTC recently sponsored a bike ride on the trail in order to highlight the gaps in the 85 mile trail. The bike riders took one of their breaks in Plainville. During the break, president of FVTC and chairman of the CT Greenways Council Bruce Donald pledged the full effort of the FVTC to fill the gap in Southington and Plainville, according to a press release. Some Plainville Town Council members also shared their support in bridging the gap. We want to be known as the town that filled the last gap in the Farmington Canal Heritage Trail, said Town Council Chair Kathy Pugliese, according to a press release. Plainville Greenway Alliance member Pete Salamone said that the motivation behind bridging the gap in Plainville comes from other projects along the trail. There are projects going on in Cheshire, Farmington, and Southington, which should all be completed by the end of 2017, said Salamone. Since plans are underway to complete everywhere but Plainville, they re beginning to look at it as the last piece missing.

Salamone said that in its current state, the gap in Plainville is one of the most difficult parts of the trail. A lot of riders will ride a long distance on the trail and get to Plainville and say they ve done enough and turn back, said Salamone. He also suggested that bridging the gap on such a lengthy trail could encourage riders to stay overnight in Plainville. When you have a long trail, people stay over night and start spending money, said Salamone. According to Salamone, most long distance riders are spending $10 to $20 per person as they ride through different communities. If they decide to make it a weekend trip, it could bring in over $100 between a hotel, dinner, breakfast and snacks for the road. It s all to the benefit of our economy when this trail gets completed, said Salamone.

Must mention coupon at time of appointment. 5 With the support of the FTVC and the Town Council, PGA is working on getting some kind of funding to support this project. However, Salamone said the first step is to get a preliminary design to decide where in town the trail will go. The railroad in Plainville is still active, so it couldn t be a rail trail, but there are other options. Salamone said the trail could cut through Norton Park to Town Line Road by possibly using Jackson Way. He also said it would be beneficial for the trail to go through the center of town using a protected bike lane. This could encourage families to use the trail more because they would feel safe bringing their kids out riding, said Salamone. Cyclists in Plainville typically have to ride on the streets because there is currently no real bike trail in town. Once the design is finished, PGA will work with the Town of Plainville, the Town of Southington, and the FVTC to apply for a grant. The group once before applied for a grant to supplement this project and was denied.

The Drug Free Communities Grant is a matching grant, which means that the Southington community is responsible for matching the money STEPS receives from ONDCP. The program receives about $125,000 per year from ONDCP. From page 1 From page 1 challenged the park commissioners to consider their own children when making this decision. Additionally, Feest introduced the concern of potential fire hazards for smoking in parks. Evelyn Ciaburri, the STEPS Youth Council head, said that in 2000, 22 percent of youth smoked, while in 2014 the percentage has dropped to 9 percent. Ciaburri said the decline in youth smoking is due to rise in anti-smoking campaigns and commercials as By LINDSAY CAREY Staff Writer Town Manager Garry Brumback received a 2.75 percent raise following a positive performance review from the Town Council at their last meeting. Town Councilor Victoria Triano said that the annual review during the executive session was positive, because of Brumback s leadership qualities and management style. Overall I think Mr. From office space to countless hours, our community and our coalition has exceeded the matching dollars every single year, said Leppard. STEPS has some new plans for the next five years. Sue Saucier, director of Youth Services, announced some of the plans at the press conference. After reviewing and releasing data from a survey taken by seventh, ninth and eleventh grade students last November, the STEPS Advisory Board has decided the parade brought in record crowds this year. For some people, the parade is simply tradition. Barbara Kane and Mike Sapia were sitting in lawn chairs along the street, eating food. The festival is a yearly even for them, as the come for the food, the parade and the good times. We come every year, Sapia said. That s what we come for, Kane said, referring to the annual parade, which was well as bans smoking bans in restaurants and other facilities. Looking to the future, can we decrease the 9 percent by [banning smoking in parks], questioned Ciaburri. If the answer is yes, it is something we need to do. Despite the STEPS Coalition s zeal, not everyone was in favor of the smoking ban. Some residents shared that they feel it is an infringement of rights by town government. It s not like it s a closed area, its open space, said David Turci of Plantsville. Brumback is doing an excellent job. He has served held Sunday afternoon. Cheryl Manka said she has been coming to the festival for 40 years. This year, she had the opportunity to watch her grandson march in the parade with Kennedy Middle School. She said she also We re talking about banning people who have an addiction from enjoying the parks. Turci said he doesn t smoke, but he is against a total smoking ban in parks. He said he understands banning smoking in specific areas like a ball field, on the bleachers or in a fenced in play area, but he doesn t see the problem with people smoking in parks in general. It s town government imposing more and more restrictions on citizens, said Turci. He also said that he Town manager receives a 2.75 percent raise Garry Brumback to launch a Social Norms Marketing Campaign. Social Norms Campaigns seek to address people s misconceptions about what s normal or typical, said Saucier. Using reliable data, we can show that in reality the opposite is very often true. Saucier said that a lot of times, students are under the impression that everybody drinks. However, data shows that that is simply not true. STEPS will be looking to guide students by pointing out the real story. the people well, said Triano. She also said that his open door policy is an example of his effort to connect with individuals in town and respond to them directly. He takes the initiative to reach out to local businesses and residents and takes personal interest in their concerns, said Triano. Brumback has been serving as town manager since 2011 and his current contract runs until July Another new component that will be added to the STEPS program is an effort to increase the perception of harm from marijuana and prescription drugs. Our laws in Connecticut have changed in the last few years about marijuana, as have the laws across the country for marijuana in particular, said Saucier. We re concerned that our kids perception of harm for that specifically and also for prescription drugs is that it s not very enjoys the festival, because of the food and the rides. We like to go to the rides with the grandson, she said. Manka also noted that she has seen the festival has grown over the years. It s gotten bigger. doesn t believe it to be such a huge danger for children. This is being put across as a danger to children and in my mind a bigger danger is kids having this technology at their hands and access to everything on the internet, said Turci. He said he believes it is a parent s responsibility to take control and keep their child harmful. In addition, STEPS is looking into working with Southington High School to provide an eighth grade transition program. There is already a transition program for fifth graders going into sixth grade. We know that transitions can be a really tough time for some kids, said Saucier. We know that that is a risky time. She also added that a part of the Drug Free Community grant includes enforcement. Saucier said Much bigger, said Manka. Festival attendees can look forward to Harvest the Arts for the second weekend of the festival, which will include book signings by CT authors, live action painting, pottery throwing, interactive art projects for that the Southington Police Department has been doing an excellent job breaking up underage drinking parties and also holding adults responsible when they allow underage individuals to drink on their property through the Social Host Law. However, Saucier said that STEPS is looking into increasing the police enforcement activities in Southington. She said the board is looking into using GIS mapping to identify hotspots for drug and alcohol activity in town. Festival: Saturday is a wash, but Sunday draws a crowd the family, live music and more. There will also be an interactive light show, called Light Artists Making Places (L.A.M.P.), on Friday, Oct. 10 from 7-9. Editor Ed Harris contributed to this report. Smoking: Board looks at possible ban in the town s parks Sat., Oct. 4 Bristol Public Works Garage 95 Vincent P. Kelly Rd. from smoking, not the government s responsibility. Turci s opinion was echoed in a letter written to the parks board from Southington resident Kirt Lundy, who could not attend the meeting. Fasulo read the letter during the public hearing.

Austin Turek Southington Sampson earns backing of the Independent Party Rob Sampson State Representative Rob Sampson has received the support of the Connecticut Independent Party in his bid for re-election to the Connecticut House of Representatives. The Independent Party is the state s third largest political party. The party describes itself as a movement to bring honest, open, nonpartisan problem-solving to government; to promote responsible and sustainable governmental policies; to fight corruption; and to promote ballot access for citizens who want to be public servants. Sampson won the endorsement in a hardfought, head to head battle with his opponent, John Corky Mazurek. The caucus was held in Waterbury on August 24. I am honored to receive the endorsement of the Independent Party of Connecticut, which also backed me in 2012 Sampson said. I have done my best while serving to put aside partisan differences and vote for the best ideas, no matter where they come from. I believe it is my responsibility to honor the Constitution and vote the needs and interests of the people I represent. My exceptionally independent voting record reflects my commitment to my district and my principles. I am proud to stand with the Independent Party and deeply appreciate their recognition. Markley bags groceries State Senator Joe Markley (R-Southington) supported the Bag Food for Hunger drive at the Drust Family ShopRite in Southington. The event was held during the month of September as part of National Hunger Action month. Bagging groceries is not easy, but it was worth the effort knowing it was benefiting those who go without, said Sen. Markley. Markley joined other local celebrities and helped raise more nearly $8,000. The money will go directly into the community to help fight hunger. Customer s donations will help stock local food banks and food pantries. The Partners In Caring program, which is also sponsored by General Mills, began in 1999 and has raised more than $30 million to local food Pictured, from left, Mike Lebrun, Store Manage, Sen.

Michael Aparo Southington To the Editor, I recently saw a letter in the paper that a man had written in honor of his friend, and I couldn t help but think of my beloved aunt. Most knew her as Dolores Cupina, but we nieces and nephews called her Auntie Dodo. Although she had so much more living to do, she passed away over the summer after fighting a hard battle against myelofibrosis. I realize more and more each day that she is irreplaceable and possibly the most selfless, reliable and caring individual that I will ever know. I wanted to write "Hot apple crisp, and not only because my mom heads up the booth. It is the best." Jenn Accuosti Southington Letters something in her honor too because not only did she grow up and live here in Southington, but one might also say that she devoted her entire life to the well-being of others. My mother and my aunt know this firsthand, because auntie Dodo helped raise them after their mother died. It seems that all of her responsibilities as a young adult made her want to continue to take care of people. Quite naturally then, she became a nurse. She worked as a nurse for 50 years, finishing up her career at Bradley Memorial Hospital. She absolutely loved her job. Not only this, "Boy Scout Troop 17 baked potatoes." Allison Bradshaw Southington In honor of my aunt To the Editor, As a Southington native and lifelong resident, I feel fortunate to have Dave Zoni as our state Rep. Zoni is truly a man of the people who works hard to do well for his community. His perfect voting record speaks to his commitment to service, while his accessibility reflects a genuine dedication to his community. Always a smile on his face, Zoni has faithfully served his town in multiple capacities. He consistently makes Southington and its constituents his priority. He is a man with immense integrity, and therefore I am proud Dave Zoni is not only my State Representative, but also my friend. but she was also our nurse we could always call her with any medical question, and she always put us at ease. I needed to write this because I wish that everyone could have known this woman. To know her was a blessing. It has been a tremendous loss for our family, but what helps give us peace is remembering that she truly found and fulfilled her purpose here on Earth Auntie Dodo died on July 14, the same day as St. Camillus, the patron saint of nurses.

Established in 1975 Making a Crucial Catch There will be an abundance of pink in the National Football League (NFL) this month. Football fans may have noticed the abundance of pink incorporated into Sunday s NFL games. Not typically a color associated with the manly sport, the players will wear pink towels, chin straps, gloves and, in some instances, shoes. The players pink apparel is to support the fight against breast cancer, as October is breast cancer awareness month. The pink apparel is just part of the NFL s A Crucial Catch program, a partnership with the American Cancer Society. The program encourages women to get annual screenings. All of the pink apparel worn at games by players and coaches, along with special game balls and pink coins, will be auctioned off at NFL Auction ( The proceeds will benefit the American Cancer Society and team charities. The following is information taken from the American Cancer Society s website, Breast cancer is a tumor that starts out in the breast. Though commonly found in women, it is possible for males to get breast cancer. Most breast lumps are benign, meaning that they are not cancerous. Benign breast tumors are abnormal growths, but they do not spread outside of the breast and they are not life threatening. However, some benign lumps can increase a woman s risk of getting breast cancer. Most of these lumps are caused by fibrocystic changes. Cysts are fluid-filled sacs. Fibrosis is the formation of scarlike tissue. These changes can cause breast swelling and pain. They often happen just before a woman s period is about to start. The breasts may feel lumpy, and sometimes there is a clear or slightly cloudy nipple discharge. There are many types of breast cancer, but some are very rare. Sometimes a breast tumor can be a mix of these types or a mixture of invasive and in situ cancer. Breast cancer types include Ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS), the most common type, Lobular carcinoma in situ (LCIS), Invasive (or infiltrating) ductal carcinoma (IDC) Invasive (infiltrating) lobular carcinoma (ILC) and Inflammatory breast cancer (IBC), the least common form of breast cancer. There are several risk factors involved with breast cancer. Some of the factors are outside of a person s control. Some of the risk factors that are uncontrollable include, age, race, family history and personal history with breast cancer. Some of the more controllable risk factors include the use of birth control pills, lack of exercise, being overweight and alcohol. According to the American Cancer Society (ACS), an estimated 1,660,290 people were expected to contract cancer in Of that number, 232,340 are females with breast cancer. Breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in women. We urge women to do what they can to limit their chances of getting the disease and if they do have it, catching it early, when it is more treatable. According to statistics on cancer.org, there is an estimated 2.5 million breast cancer survivors across the country. Hopefully, through the efforts of the Crucial Catch Program and Southington s Relay for Life, among other organizations, these survival numbers will increase dramatically. About a month or so back, I received an from Bonnie Burke. Bonnie and her husband Howard are the creative geniuses behind Spooky Kingdom, an annual Halloween attraction. The Burke family has run the attraction at their Lovely Drive home for close to a decade. It started out with several hand-carved tombstones and has grown to include 15 different animated attractions. The event was fun for all ages. A trip through Spooky Kingdom was free, though the Burke family asked guests to make a donation to the Connecticut Alzheimer s Association. The family was able to raise $2, last year. In the , Bonnie told me that the family was looking for a civic group to possibly take over Spooky Kingdom this year, as the event had become a bit too much for them. We tossed around the idea of passing it on last year because it had become too much for us, said Bonnie. The reason we would like to pass it on is that the community sees Spooky Kingdom as a Southington tradition and they look forward to the event each year. We really don t want to let any of those people down. After talking with Bonnie briefly, I decided to forward the to Town Councilor Dawn Miceli. I thought Campaign ads have never been worse I don t know about you, but I am thoroughly disgusted with the nasty and negative political campaign advertisements nowadays. Today s politicians have taken character assassination to unprecedented levels. If our revered Founding Fathers could see how their lofty ideals have been squashed by this generation of pompous, power-hunger pols, they would roll over in their graves. Political analysts claim negative campaigning works: the more mud you sling at your opponent the more likely you are to win. But it wasn t always that way. Just think back to the golden age of our republic. All those saintly men who now adorn our money would never stoop so low. They were men of character. They were true public servants who cared more about our fledgling nation than their own personal ambitions. What is happening today is just so sad. Here in Connecticut the campaign for governor is especially vile. The other day I saw a TV commercial that insinuated Tom Foley s mother was a prostitute, and that Foley himself is the offspring of one of her customers. This commercial then referred to Foley as bald, blind, crippled, and toothless, and concluded by charging that he is an effeminate freak who possesses both male and female sexual organs. Nice, huh? But moments later I saw another commercial, and this one charged that Governor Dan Malloy is having an affair with one of his staffers, and that if he is re-elected our state will become a place where murder, robbery, rape, adultery Ed Harris Thoughts around town Bill Dunn Laugh or Death and incest will be openly taught and practiced. Well, no wonder so much Hollywood money is pouring into Connecticut to get Malloy re-elected. A few days later a new round of campaign commercials aired. One ad called Foley a pimp, and claimed when he was ambassador to Ireland, he provided an innocent American girl to a high-ranking diplomat from Russia, who promptly ravaged the poor maiden. Then a commercial came on that accused Governor Malloy of being a cannibal, and the word was not used metaphorically; it was used literally. The claim was that the governor engages in secret midnight pagan rituals where human flesh is consumed. Can you believe this stuff?! It s gotten completely out of control! Oh wait, my mistake. The false mud-slinging accusations I ve just listed are not part of the current Connecticut gubernatorial race. Those claims were made a long time ago, during the political campaigns of our Spooky Kingdom could be a tremendous addition to the Southington Drive-in s annual Halloween festival. And, if that did not work out, I thought Dawn had enough contacts in the community to possibly help out the Burkes. As the story in this week s paper showcases, my hunch paid off. The Burke family is lending equipment, attractions and the know how behind Spooky Kingdom to the drive-in for its annual Halloween festival, on Saturday, Oct. 25. The Southington Drive-in s annual Halloween event has grown over the years. This is the fourth year of the festival, well technically the third, as a freak ice storm in 2011 crippled the state and put a halt to the festival. Everything is free, with the purchase of a car admission. Ticket prices are $10 for Southington residents and $15 for out-of-towners. Attractions include a haunted hay ride, where the Spooky Kingdom will take part, pony rides, a mini touch a truck event, an apple cannon launcher, a pie eating contest, bobbing for apples and face painting. At 5 p.m., there will be trunk or treating and a costume parade for the kids. The drive-in will also feature a double bill up on the big screen, beginning at 6 p.m., right around the time it start to get dark out these days. The first movie shown will be Monsters University. The second movie, the original A Nightmare on Elm Street, will be shown, following a brief interlude to allow parents to bring their children home. The drive-in s Halloween festival is a giant attraction. According to Dawn, it brings thousands of people to the grounds to enjoy all the activities and the Halloween themed double-bill. I have no doubt this year will showcase more of the same. If you are planning on going, I suggest you get there early, especially if you are only going for the movies. I am sure everyone will have a spooky time. Comments? eharris@southingtonobserver.com. nations revered and saintly Founding Fathers. During the presidential race of 1800, the Thomas Jefferson campaign referred to John Adams as bald, blind, crippled, and toothless, and claimed he was a hermaphrodite (which kind of means Adams would ve been comfortable with Facebook s 56 gender options). The Adams campaign accused Jefferson of sleeping with one of his slaves (which turned out to be not exactly incorrect), and warned that if the atheist from Monticello won the White House, murder, robbery, rape, adultery and incest will be openly taught and practiced. A couple of political seasons later, the supporters of John Quincy Adams charged that his opponent, Andrew Jackson, was not only a cannibal who feasted on Indian flesh, but that he also was the offspring of a racially-impure prostitute. Jackson s camp replied by claiming that Quincy Adams was a pimp who procured American gals for savage Russian leaders. Well, I m sure our saintly Founding Fathers didn t really mean it. After all, they were saintly, and their faces are on our money. The political campaigns today are much more nasty and negative because, um, because it makes me feel self-righteous to claim that things have never been so bad. And if you don t agree with me, you are toothless adulterer pimp cannibal. So there! Bill Dunn is a freelance writer who resides in Torrington. He can be reached at MerryCatholic@gmail.com.

10 10 To advertise, call (860) Our Healthy Lifestyles All you really need is love I ve been a Beatle maniac for 50 years. First of all, that 50 year thing is absolutely absurd. Seems like yesterday. Anyhow it was 50 years ago on February 9, 1964 that our family gathered around our Zenith black and white TV, with the rabbit ear antennae, to see the Beatles (John, Paul, George and Ringo) appear on the Ed Sullivan Show. My sister Linda acted as the family director and had us all dressed up and ready to perform. With three tennis rackets in hand (guitars) and large pots of pans as drums, we John Myers Southington YMCA were ready to perform. I think because I was somewhat ambidextrous, I was able to be the lefty Paul (who remains my favorite Beatle), my brother Rick was the natural for Ringo on drums and Steve (George) and Linda (John) filled in the rest of the fab four After hearing Ed Sullivan famous introduction Now yesterday and today our theater s been jammed with newspapermen and hundreds of photographers from all over the nation, and these veterans agreed with me that this city never has witnessed the excitement stirred by these youngsters from Liverpool who call themselves The Beatles. Now tonight, you re gonna twice be entertained by them. Right now, and again in the second half of our show. Ladies and gentlemen, The Beatles! Let s bring them on, the Beatles performed All My Loving, Till There Was You, She Loves You, I Saw Her Standing There, and finally I Want to Hold Your Hand. Well, since that time, I ve been hooked and the Beatles remain my favorite band of all time. So, what makes it even more special, The Y in recognition of the Beatles 50th anniversary, has chosen to use the Beatles as our theme for our upcoming Forever in Blue Jeans event on Friday, Nov. 21. Forever in Blue Jeans is the Y s signature fundraiser (Over $70,000 raised in 2013) to raise funds to support our financial assistance efforts for child care, camp, programs, & membership as well as support our Y in the Afternoon Outreach program and Teen programs.

I will explain why I was sad in a bit. But, the conversation made me think that I hadn t done my job very well. As a chiropractic physician, I have two duties. The first is to provide a good and effective chiropractic adjustment. Even though patients think that my job is to get them well or make them feel better, I can t do that. No one can. Your body is the one that gets you better. I am the facilitator, the helper, the guide which allows your body to express its ability to heal. My other duty is to educate the patient. I try to do this every time the individual comes in. We talk about Dr. Carol Grant Alternatively Speaking their problem, what they have to do to encourage healing, what they have to do to prevent it from coming back. We also talk about health in general, how do you know if you are healthy or not, where Chiropractic fits into a healthy life style and so much more. I have a lovely young woman as a patient who has severe facial pain. She was referred in by her primary doctor and after examining her I felt she had TMJ syndrome or problem with her jaw joint. The examination also revealed quite a lot of problems in her neck, yet she didn t have any neck pain per se, other than some stiffness. Her x-rays showed a significant reversal of the normal curve in her neck. In the process of educating her I explained that her neck had what chiropractors call subluxations or areas where the bones were not lined up right and not moving correctly. This was complicating her jaw problem and both had to be addressed in order for her to be well. I encouraged her to attend a workshop that I hold every Tuesday to explain more about her problem. She learned that her neck misalignments were irritating nerves and making her muscle tight and sore. Obviously both of these problems caused pain. But another problem which would develop over time would be arthritis. At this point, her neck was showing minimal arthritis changes but I showed her pictures of people who ignored these types of problems and developed severe degeneration. After all, the spine was not in its normal position and was under stress. Stress from any source, trauma, misalignments etc, would eventually cause arthritis. In the course of her treatments, as she was getting better, she told me about her sister who was a hard working person and her fiancé who had back pain. She wondered if they had subluxations and might be developing arthritis. I told her I had no idea and the only way to know for sure would be for them to come in and get checked out. I gave her some information and she promised to tell her family members. Her sister was interested in coming in but it took a while to find the right time. After a while, she said to her sister, my patient, Why am I going there again? And this is where it gets sad. Her sister was unable to tell her again why it is so important to get checked. In fact my patient actually said Well if it isn t broke, don t fix it. How would she know that it wasn t broke? The only thing she knew was that she had no pain. Well, people who are developing heart disease or cancer or cavities have no pain until later. And unfortunately, arthritis is not painful until later on as well. So I am sad that I didn t do a very good job educating my patient. I will have to try again and make sure the big picture is clear. Dr. Carol Grant, a local chiropractor, does not intend this column to substitute for medical advice. She urges you to always consult with your personal physician before changing any current program. Power of attorney is the most important legal tool you can have Stephen Allaire Elder Security A power of attorney may be the most important legal tool you can have. It allows your trusted family members to sign for you if you cannot sign for yourself. No matter your age, a sudden accident or health issue could result in your inability to sign for yourself. When my daughters were in their 20s and heading off to Africa, they thought their lawyer father was being overly protective when I insisted they sign power of attorneys to me and my wife. But, even for them, it came in handy when I had to handle some banking transactions for them back here in the USA. So what is a power of attorney? It is a legal document that gives someone else the power to act for you. It can be for a specific matter, such as selling a house, or almost any financial or legal document you need to sign. Many people ask, What is a durable power of attorney? That simply means the power of attorney is still good, even if you become incapable. In colonial times, the legal theory was that if you were incapable, the person named as your power of attorney also could not have the power to act. Over the last half century, with people living longer and suffering from diminished mental capacity, the whole reason to do a power of attorney is to take care of matters if they become incapable. So all states have enacted laws permitting durable power of attorneys. Who should you name as power of attorney? The critical factor is trustworthiness. You should know implicitly that your power of attorney will act in your best interest. A second factor is good judgment when handling your financial affairs. A third factor, if your children hold power of attorney, is that they will cooperate in looking after your needs. It does no good to name two people if they end up fighting over what to do. In this internet age, people often think downloading a form from cyberspace will do what they want. From long experience seeing unfortunate results, it is safe to say that you need a good power of attorney that will allow the person you choose to handle any matter you might reasonably foresee. For example, the standard Connecticut Short Form Power of Attorney does not include gifting powers. If one spouse becomes sick and needs Title 19, the family home can be protected be transferring it to the healthy spouse. But without gifting powers, that healthy spouse won t have the authority to transfer good title to herself or himself. Or they may not be able to handle IRAs unless specifically stated. If the power of attorney is inadequate, they may have to seek a conservatorship to do the transfer which is time consuming and expensive. One problem with power of attorneys is getting bonds or investment companies to accept them, especially if they are more than a few years old. This can usually be solved by the attorney putting a certification on them that they are still valid. In short, most everyone needs a durable power of attorney that covers the gamut of their financial needs. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Your mother told you that.

Celebrate National Italian American Heritage Month at the Southington Library on Wednesday, Oct. 15, at 6:30 p.m. The Southington Library will host Anthony V. Riccio, author of Farms, Factories, and Families: Italian American Women of Connecticut. The book took almost a decade to write. Riccio traveled the state conducting oral history interviews with elderly Italian American women in a race against time. The Italian American women profiled in this book represent the last of a generation who could reconstruct small village life in rural Jennifer G. Sprengelmeyer, a student at Valley Forge Military Academy and College, Wayne, PA., has graduated from the Army Reserve Officers Training Corps Leader Training Course at Fort Knox, Ky. The four-week course is a leadership internship for cadets that can lead to the ultimate goal of becoming Army officers. College students experience and examine the Army without incurring an obligation to serve, and are eligible to receive two-year college scholarship offers and attend the ROTC Advanced Course at their colleges. Cadets are observed and evaluated during classroom and field training exercises to determine their officer potential in leadership abilities and skills. The cadets are trained to have a sound understanding of traditional leadership values during the challenging, motivating hands-on training. The training develops well-disciplined, highly motivated, physically conditioned students, and helps improve the cadets regions of southern Italy, weaving stories of uprooting themselves from families to journey to America in steerage, often with two or three young children in tow. The book s visual documentation comes from family albums, which provide rare glimpses of their experiences in southern Italy and their working lives in Connecticut. The portraits of these women storytellers reveal visual biographies in the expression of their faces. Riccio will discuss the research and interview process he used to write the book. Mr. Riccio thanks Southington residents, Joanne Cotugno, Alphonse D Angelo, Florence DeFeo, Lorraine Mangione and Jean Simone, for their permission to record their life stories. Copies of his book will be available for purchase and signing following the presentation. Mr. Riccio is Stacks Manager at the Sterling Memorial Library at Yale University. He is the author of The Italian American Experience in New Haven: Images and Oral Histories and Boston s North End: Images and Recollections of an Italian-American Neighborhood, and the coauthor, with Silvio Suppa, of Cooking with Chef Silvio: Stories and Authentic Recipes from Campania, also published by SUNY Press.

The disease may have taken Linda away from her family, but it never took her strong will to survive and her incredible beauty, even in her time of suffering. Linda was a dental hygienist and also helped in the office with the family business, Maximum Sound & Security. She is survived by her husband and love of her life, Ralph, daughter Brittany (Brie), and son Andrew (Drew). She is also survived by her parents, John & Irene (Brochu) Stepensky of Kensington; her brother John Stepensky, Jr. and his wife Dawn of Kensington; her sister, Donna Stepensky and her husband Dean Zariphes of Southington; and her sister, Janet Scalise and her husband Joe of Glastonbury. She also had many nieces & nephews and a large extended family, on both sides, that she loved dearly; as well as a few close friends (and as Linda would say They know who they are ). Removal of Almost Anything! Linda was all about her family and lived everyday for them. Her love for her children and husband Campochiaro superseded all else in the world. She loved her morning coffee, cooking with her daughter, playing Guitar Hero with her son, a great glass of wine and/or a Kettle One Martini (not too dry, with three Olives). She loved to travel and travel she did with her husband. Linda had an unimaginable love affair with her husband, and they spent most of their time together over the last 30 years. People knew Linda, but didn t know much about Linda because she was a very private person. She was most comfortable spending quiet days and evenings with her family or very small groups of friends. This was odd in a way because she was also the life of every party, with her sense of humor and dancing prowess, and lit up every room that she walked into with her smile and beauty (both inside and out). Scott Smith, was an avid Nascar fan and loved music Scott D. Smith, 42, of Waterbury and formerly of Southington, passed away peacefully on Thursday, Oct. 2,at St. Mary s Hospital in Waterbury.

He was a longtime Southington resident before moving to Waterbury in Scott had a wonderful sense of humor and had the ability to make anyone laugh. He loved spending time with his family and friends. He was an avid Nascar fan and he loved music.

13 To advertise, call (860) Utilizing realistic fire training On Saturday, Oct. 18, the Southington High School Blue Knights Marching Band will present the 22nd Annual Music of the Knight marching band competition at Fontana Field at Southington High School. This event is a US Bands sanctioned marching competition. Seventeen high school bands, from across Connecticut, Massachusetts and New York, will be competing. The final performance schedule will be posted by US bands on their website Glenn Dube Fire Department News and Notes Each time we respond to a call it is with the understanding that we can never be quite certain of what we are walking into. What we are dispatched for is often times not what we find as we arrive. Nowhere is this more apparent than when we respond to motor vehicle accidents. Auto makers are constantly looking to improve the products they make. Safety is as central a focus for them as it is for us, and they are continually looking for ways to make vehicles safer for the passengers riding in them. The double edged sword here is that the safer they make the vehicles the harder it can be for us to disentangle victims following a wreck. Improved design and stronger construction of the structural members in the passenger compartment and a proliferation of vehicle airbags located in every conceivable interior space are just two of the many challenges we may face during an accident which requires extrication using hydraulic rescue tools. Every year, new vehicles, or updated versions of current models, hit the market and with that comes the need for constant training on our part to develop or modify our procedures. New construction techniques and safety improvements mean new or updated procedures during motor vehicle accident responses. Recently Southington s firefighters have been training on motor vehicle extrication. Removing doors and roofs, lifting dashboards, and working on vehicles that are on their sides or upside down have all been part of our training evolutions. Early on the evening of Monday, Sept. 29, career firefighters assigned to D Shift teamed up with volunteer firefighters from Company 3 on Clark Street, and Company 5 on River Street, for a four hour extrication drill at Chuck and Eddie s on Old Turnpike Road. The firefighters worked on a half dozen different evolutions using hydraulic rescue tools, hand tools, high pressure Music of the Knight has been designated a Gold Event by US Bands and is one of the largest and most well attended high school band competition in New England. It is the band s major fund-raiser of the season and, with the assistance of many sponsors in the community, the band relies on this event to raise about 50 percent of its operating budget. The event kicks off at 4 pneumatic airbags for lifting upside down vehicles and stabilization equipment used on vehicles that come to rest on either their side or roof. In addition to practicing with the equipment firefighters also studied door and dashboard construction and peeled away the vehicle s interior molding to look at safety systems like airbags and seatbelt pretension systems. This type of realistic training plays a vital role in maintaining our skills and keeping up with the annual changes in vehicle construction and features. A critically important part of this training is the partnership between the Southington Fire Department and Chuck and Eddie s. The staff at Chuck and Eddie s has always been incredibly supportive of our life safety mission and goes out of their way to supply us the vehicles we need to make these drills happen. In the past few weeks they have provided us with nearly a dozen vehicles to practice extrication techniques on. Chuck and Eddie s also provide both the vehicles and the training location for the extrication portion of the Connecticut Fire Academy s Recruit Firefighter program. Twice a year, for two to three days, CFA recruits descend on Chuck and Eddie s to gain the extrication knowledge they will put to use after graduating. p.m., with performances by the Joseph A. DePaolo Middle School Band, under the direction of Richard Santanella, and the John F. Kennedy Middle School Band, under the direction of Tim Johnson. The award winning Southington Blue Knights Marching Band, under the direction of Jeff Shaw and Sara Ossias will perform an exhibition of their 2014 Show, Lasting Impressions. The management and staff at Chuck and Eddie s have our sincere thanks for their unwavering support of our department and its life safety mission. They play a critical, yet unheralded role in helping us maintain our extrication proficiency. We simply could not make this happen without them. We will close this month with two quick items. Throughout October Southington firefighters will once again be wearing pink T-shirts while on duty in support of research for a breast cancer cure. Also, please remember to use caution on Halloween as large numbers of child sized ghosts, goblins, and princesses fill our neighborhoods in search of treats.

14 14 To advertise, call (860) What s the big stink about kitty litter? Sarah Johnson Pictures from Home Meet my cats, Pepper and Toaster. The next photo is the hellish corner where their litter box lives. I don t know if my cats are just jerks or if every cat is this messy. They are both young males. A good day is when they don t kick litter all over the floor or leave a little surprise on the carpet in front of the box. Over the years, I feel as though our family has gotten a fairly solid routine down to keep odor and mess under control. We have the deepedged box, a carpet in front of it, a box of baking soda for additional odor control, a pet odor candle, a small garbage basket with bags and a litter scoop and a brush, dustpan and small handheld vacuum. Sound overwhelming? Well it is. But I continue to assert that my cats are worth it. Anyhow, the seminal argument in keeping cat ownership neat and tidy inevitably comes down to the great litter debate. What kind you use and why? I put the question out to my readers. Not surprisingly, based on my prior research into the prevalence of cat ownership, lots of people weighed in on this dirty little issue. I ll start off the list with our family s regular choice, which is the Tidy Cats with the blue label. Now that we ve only got two cats in our home (having previously had four), we don t need to buy it quite as large or often, so we settle on the plastic handle container that runs about $10 whether at the grocery store or the local pet store.

Hosted by: Kevin Della Bianca. For Private Showing Call Kevin Della Bianca Realtor, ABA, Green, GRI (Cell) (Office) (Fax) BRISTOL $166, Stafford Ave OPEN SUN 1-3PM sticking with this brand are that it has no weird artificial odor, it clumps very well, and it mixes easily with generic baking soda to cut down the ammonia in cat urine. The amount of dust is also very limited, in my experience. Apparently, no litter on earth will convince my mildly-inbred cat to cover his poo, but that s another story altogether. As for what others are using, it s quite a gamut. I ll start with the supporters of natural, recycled litters. Tina Michaud, who lives with her kitty near San Francisco, Calif. uses Dr. Elsy s Precious Cat Litter because its hypo-allergenic. She says the website lists it as all natural, hard clumping, and 99.9 percent dust free with superior odor control. It s the best I ve ever used, she said. Both Amanda Levesque and Trisha Connelly of Bristol love Cedarific for its pleasant smell, good price and recycled origins. Trisha also adds baking soda for additional ammonia control. She has three boy-cats. I feel her pain. My friend Neil Parzych similarly uses Feline Pine. It stays in the box, doesn t smell like litter and doesn t get stuck to their feet. He also added that it tastes amazing. I will let your minds decide if he s joking, but from a professional standpoint, don t eat your cat litter. I am told I did this as a toddler and it didn t end well. My friend Karen Graffeo uses Stop & Shop brand pine pellet litter for her cat, KC. I can scoop the poop, shake off the pine pellets, then flush. I love not having to bag poop. My friend Shana Kent, who lived in Middletown, recalls when we lived next door to each other that we used a corn-based litter for the cats as well as the ferrets. It was about $8 a bag and it smelled great but we can t recall the name. Any ideas on that one? Elizabeth Parenti of Bristol, like myself, uses Tidy Cats, but the red label. (I ll note my amusement that these cat litters sound more like whiskey labels than toilet liners.) I like that it has really hard clumps. It doesn t get stuck in my husband s paws either! (I know no shortage of comedians who happen to own cats.) I can find it on sale sometimes, but I d rather pay a little more for a really good litter than a cheap one that doesn t clump. Then the pee just goes in little bits everywhere and I feel like it s not really clean. George Sebastian- Coleman of Unionville, Amy Drew of Bristol, and Lauren O Brien of New Britain all use Arm & Hammer for it s odor control and low-dust factor. Several votes from friends and even my former colleague, Doctor of Veterinary Medicine Edward Dimmick, spoke for storebrand, generic clumping litters. Dr. Dimmick says I look for unscented scooping litter. The scooping because it s easier for me and lasts longer; and unscented because most cats hate perfumes. There s no specific preferred brand; but I usually use the Pet Supplies Plus one because it s inexpensive. Steve Coan of Bristol likes Aldi s store brand Fine Feline. It wasn t too fine or sandy like some and over that many years with Missy, (the family s cat whom they just lost after 20 years) I think we tried every brand. Her box could be cleaned easily and the odor was almost nonexistent. After a number of years we would always fear using another brand (Aldi s would occasionally run out) as Missy would take revenge by leaving a surprise in another location, like our shoes, for instance. My ultimate assessment comes down to that for most people, it really depends on your cat. Some are stinkier than others. Some have cat OCD and others are like little furry bachelors, leaving a mess constantly behind.

The partnership, now in its second year, will take place during Breast Cancer Awareness Month, when Panera Bread will conduct its annual Pink Ribbon Bagel campaign for the 13th consecutive year. Panera Bread bakery-cafes in Connecticut will donate 25 cents from each Pink Ribbon Bagel purchased during the month of October to the Connecticut Sports Foundation, which provides funds to families battling cancer to help with daily living expenses. Rebecca Lobo is an American television basketball analyst and played in the Women s National Basketball Association (WNBA) from 1997 to 2003, after leading UConn s 1995 undefeated national championship team and the 1996 US Olympic team. She is the daughter of RuthAnn Lobo, a long-time breast cancer survivor who lost her battle after 18 years. A former Simsbury resident and school counselor at Granby Memorial Middle School, RuthAnn Lobo emerged as a tireless advocate and inspiration for women whose lives had been interrupted by breast cancer. In 1996, RuthAnn and Rebecca Lobo wrote the book The Home Team, in which they chronicled how they dealt with RuthAnn s cancer diagnosis. RuthAnn Lobo eventually underwent a mastectomy, radiation and chemotherapy. In 2001, Rebecca launched the RuthAnn and Rebecca Lobo Scholarship for Hispanic students admitted to the UConn School of Allied Health. A new RuthAnn Lobo Award in Social Work was then established in 2013 to support educating the next generation of hospitalbased social workers working with cancer patients. 15 The Pink Ribbon Bagel is baked fresh daily in each of Panera Bread s bakerycafes and features dried cherries and cranberries, vanilla, honey and brown sugar.

Michael Finnegan, a filmmaker based in New Haven, will be screening To Touch a Nerve. Press materials about the film explain it is A documentary portrait of Mike Jenkins, a poet and AIDS awareness activist based in New Britain, Conn. Observer: What do you like about the concept of an underground film festival in Connecticut? Michael Finnegan: I have never been to this fest before and actually I have just started visiting film festivals recently. I had the opportunity to check out the Tribeca fest last year. I The festival is programmed by Phil Hall, contributing editor for the online resource Film Threat ( and author of the books The History of Independent Cinema and The Greatest Bad Movies of All Time/ The festival will feature three films Connecticutbased filmmakers Daniel Kuriakose of Woodbury, Michael Finnegan of New Haven, and Samuel B. Russell of Fairfield. The Observer caught up with all three filmmakers via to talk about the festival and the festival. The New England Underground Film Festival is at The University of Hartford s Gray Conference Center, 200 Bloomfield Ave., West Hartford on Saturday, Oct. 11 from 12 to 6 p.m. General admission is $10 Michael Finnegan presents, To Touch a Nerve went and saw all the short films that screened. [I checked] out the New Haven film fest and a few days ago went to see the Manhattan short films fest. So this will be the fourth festival I attended. I like this one because its local and it attracts local filmmakers. So it can be a more of a networking event for local filmmakers. Also, it keeps the art of filmmaking alive. O: What drew you to film as your chosen creative medium? M: Well I have always had a creative side to me. I couldn t draw or paint I A still from Michael Finnegan s To Touch a Nerve. loved to tell stories and hear the stories of people so I figured why not give filmmaking a shot. So far I really enjoy it and hope to keep on telling stories for years to come. O: Why do you think your particular film fits the definition of an underground film? M: My film is call To Touch A Nerve. It s based on a recovering heroin addict from New Britain, Conn. So it s a story of a person who struggled in a struggling urban area in New England so the demographics are there and this project wasn t sponsored by anyone and the budget was from whatever I could afford so I think that qualifies it as underground. O: Talk to me about the genesis of your piece. M: The film is a story of an individual who draws you into his story. Against all odds he was able to stay positive and climb out of and students with school ID can pay $5. For more information on the other films at the festival, go by Mike Chaiken the pits of society. It s about a man that hits the lowest of the lows but is able to get up and really change his life and now helps others change their life as well. O: What do you want your audience to feel about what they ve seen when the final credits roll? M: Well, I want people to know that no matter how low and down you are you can still get up. Life never stops so don t let it keep going to be better. If not for yourself but for others. by Mike Chaiken Samuel B. Russell of Fairfield will screen We re Goners Relax It s Fine. Press materials explain the plot as follows: A young girl must pass through a magical forest filled with bizarre creatures to confront the singing volcano who threatens to destroy her home. Observer: What do you like about the concept of an underground film festival in Connecticut? Samuel B. Russell: I ve lived in Connecticut all my life. I like that there s a space close to home for art outside the mainstream. Samuel B. Russell presents, We re Goners Relax It s Fine O: What drew you to film as your chosen creative medium? S: The obvious answer is that I grew up watching movies. I like that it s an experience that entertains more than one sense, and that viewing a film is a group experience. Though I guess that can be said for other mediums as well. I really love the production of a film, and how elaborate it can get, and the problem solving it calls for. I always like the idea that cinema production is a sort of magic trick you re putting on for the audience. O: Why do you think your particular film fits the definition of an underground film? S: We re Goners It s Samuel B. Russell s We re Goners Relax It s Fine will be presented as part of the New England Underground Film Festival Saturday. Fine Relax was made on an ultra-low budget and the sets were made mostly of cardboard and paper mache. I think it s selffunded, home-made nature sets it apart from more mainstream work. Also the movie was made underground, literally. The studio we used was in a basement. O: Talk to me about the genesis of your piece. S: A few years ago I read a book about stoicism, an ancient Greek philosophy. I really loved a lot of the stoic ideas, and I thought they had especially cool ideas about how to deal with death. I wanted to use these ideas in a film, but wasn t sure what so I just kind of put them in my back pocket. About a year later I was taking a screenwriting course and my professor was talking about the basic types of conflict: Man vs. Man, Man vs. Nature, Man vs. Society, and Man vs. Self. He was talking about the differences between each type and made some comment about how if it were Man vs. Nature you wouldn t have your character try to talk a volcano out of erupting. I thought it might be kind of funny if that did happen. And that happened to fit with the idea of a character dealing with death and mortality and all that good stuff. O: What do you want your audience to feel about what they ve seen when the final credits roll? S: I think that is the audience s business to decide. But I hope they like it. by Mike Chaiken Paul Kuriakose, a teen from Woodbury, will be presenting, Bottles. Press materials say of the film, A telepathic doctor who uses donated memories to heal his patients realizes he lacks the emotional stability to perform his work. Observer: What do you like about the concept of an underground film festival in Connecticut? Paul Kuriakose: It gives an opportunity for less known filmmakers to share their work and to experience live reactions from an audience. O: What drew you to film as your chosen creative medium? P: Film can portray silences better than any other medium. Paul Kuriakose presents, Bottles A still from Paul Kuriakose s film Bottles. O: Why do you think your particular film fits the definition of an underground film? P: It was made under a time constraint of 48 hours with little to no budget and about seven people total (crew included) O: Talk to me about the genesis of your piece. P: I was drawn to the concept of a physical collection of memories and went from there. O: What do you want your audience to feel about what they ve seen when the final credits roll? P: I don t think it s right for me to tell you how to feel about my movie. by Mike Chaiken

The Lady Knights battled toe-to-toe against Conard for 80 minutes but came up short in a 1-0 loss. In most years, Luddy would be celebrating another moral victory, but this isn t most years. The coach didn t smile. The players were grim. There s a change brewing in the field hockey community, and that s one reason why Southington is off to their best start. Losing is no longer acceptable. Field Hockey They are all angry. If they could go out for another half, I think that they definitely would, said Luddy. They know that this isn t something that we re fighting for back on our heels. We were in the hunt. We had our opportunities. We just couldn t score on those opportunities. So how would her team react? That s the question as Southington tries to navigate higher expectations this fall. Losses are few and far between. At the season s midpoint, the Lady Knights (5-3) Justin Weekes joined the competition, but I wasn t worried. I stayed focused on Myers. As the race approached, I kept spying him with people along the Town Green. Every time he saw me, he d stop and wait for me to pass. I saw him huddled with my brother, a race volunteer, and both of them looked at me and smiled. It was clear that Myers was up to something. But what? I m not paranoid. Myers has a long history of cheating in the Sept. 30 Conard 1 Southington 0 Oct. 2 Southington 5 Windsor 0 need just a win and a tie to clinch the postseason. There are no more discussions about late runs or comebacks. The losses are personal. Two days later, Southington rebounded with a 5-0 win in Windsor. In the past, our season s always been about trying to build confidence, said Luddy. Now, we have the confidence to play with anybody. We can win those games, and we re starting to see that in the way that we ve come out so strong and have kept going. A close loss to Conard is no longer good enough. The Knights swarmed the Windsor cage in response. Kaelee Graef opened the scoring in both halves, and Southington rallied for five unanswered goals. Allie Abacherli scored twice. Jess Lee had an assist, and Kelsey Snodgrass capped the scoring in the game s final minute. We ve been working on annual race. He s elbowed me, tripped me, taken short cuts, and hitched rides on golf carts. He s put obstacles in my path and has cheated every single year. Still, I usually win. When the starting pistol sounded, I steadied myself for the incoming rush. Runners seemed to envelope me as I tried to get my starting shot. I clawed my way to the sidewalk as wave after wave sped past me. Beaten and battered, I regained my breath on the curb and scanned the crowd for my closest competitor. our scoring, and that definitely showed in the second half, said Luddy. Scoring with 45 seconds left in the game shows that we kept pushing and fighting. It also shows that we have the strength and conditioning to do so. The Knight defense was good in both contests. Natalie Liquindoli netted seven saves during the 1-0 loss to Conard. At Windsor, she needed just four saves to score her third shutout of the JOHN GORALSKI Michaela Carrera leads the attack during a recent field hockey game. The Lady Knights are off to the program s best start. season. I love that they re playing with so much heart and so much confidence, said Luddy. Now, we have a big week coming up. Simsbury s in the top 5 in the state. Then we have Farmington after that, and they re always a tough team. I want to see how we take our heart and our confidence and go into this tough week. There are no more moral victories. These Knights expect to win. Atashian was already out of the race. He was scurrying up Berlin Avenue, clicking away at the last trickle of runners. Weekes and the freelance writers all made rookie mistakes. They were looking at me helplessly from across the street. Each one of them went the wrong way, and that s something that you can t recover from. I gathered my stuff and began to stumble my way toward the finish. It went slow. I had to stop at each festival tent and peer around it for Myers. I had to circle around Refuse 2 lose Boys soccer earns a win and a tie in 2 overtime road games By JOHN GORALSKI SPORTS WRITER The Blue Knight soccer team forced overtime in New Britain with just under 30 seconds remaining in regulation. Southington capped a second half comeback on Friday with a game-winning score in the first overtime at Windsor. Boys Soccer After dropping five straight contests to start the season, the Blue Knights have battled back into the postseason race. With a three wins last week, Southington has surged to Tie at New Britain The Hurricaines dominated the first half, but Southington escaped with the score knotted, 1-1. New Britain took the early lead after the break, but the Knights battled back. With 29 seconds remaining in the game, officials whistled a penalty in the box. For the second time in two weeks, Ryan Burrill converted the kick. The Hurricaines outshot the Knights, 13-6, but Brian Topper rallied for 11 saves and two scoreless overtime periods to get the 2-2 tie. Eric Schneider scored volunteers in case Myers got to them before the race. I didn t see him anywhere, and that sent a wave of panic through me. I slowed even more to measure my every step. The clock kept ticking, but I kept trudging forward. I jumped at every shadow from every bird along the course. I kept my eyes trained for Myers and his cronies at street level and up on the top of buildings. I didn t see him anywhere, and that made me even more nervous. Then, it hit me. Myers was Sept. 30 (Overtime) Southington 2 New Britain 2 Oct. 3 (Overtime) Southington 3 Windsor 2 Southington s first-half goal. Burrill forced the extra period, and the Knights came away with a 2-2 tie on the road. Win at Windsor On Friday, the Knights were at it again, and once again they trailed as time was winding down. Windsor took a 1-0 lead into the half and a 2-1 lead late into the second half, but Francesco Ricigliano scored the game-winner with 2:16 left in the overtime period. Burrill opened the scoring early in the second half. Ian Powell forced overtime with time running down in the game. Topper made six assists to earn his third win in four attempts, and the Knights escaped with a 3-2 win. Southington will try to carry the momentum into this week with conference games against Conard (5-3- 1), NW Catholic (3-5-2), and Farmington (8-1-1). Road Race: Almost 2,000 participants in 2014 From page 38 Hamden. It s great to see that this race has become a way for people to connect. Myers said that it was amazing to see the times at the front, the persistence of the young runners, the influx of new runners, and the continued outpouring from every corner of the community. People at the front are still able to crank it out, but at the same time it s become a good race for everyone, he said.

With two more victories last week, the Lady Knights swim team has surged to a perfect, 6-0 start. Now, as the girls dive into the start of their powerhouse conference schedule, Coach Evan Tuttle thinks his team is ready to make some noise. Swimming We re as ready as we ve ever been, and I can confidently say that, said the coach. We ve got Farmington, Hall, and Conard coming up. Berlin s going to be another tough match for us. Our girls are up to the challenge. They are certainly not going to make things easy for anybody. The Knights have already shown the ability to rise up to adversity, and that was evident this week. With Southington s rookie divers still working up to varsity expectations, the Knights started each meet with a 13 point deficit. The Knights still managed to score lopsided wins. It s an added piece of adversity for us, but we aren t new to overcoming adversity, said the coach. We were able to chase some points with our diving.

Bailey Potter captured wins in the 500 free (6:10.89) and the 100 back (1:10.35). Marisa Matthews won the 50 free (26.59). Sam Sagnella won the 100 fly (1:09.85), and Bethany Greenlaw took the 100 breaststroke (1:22.03). Southington swept the relays, turned to exhibition with two races left, and cruised to a win. They have a core group When the Lady Knight volleyball team dropped the first set during games against Simsbury and Maloney, it ended up costing them a win, so now that Southington has survived their toughest stretch, coaches aren t ready to rest on their laurels. Instead, coaches have turned up the heat for pregame workouts. The Lady Knights have responded to the challenge. We ve changed some things with our warmup, and I think the kids would agree that it s worked, said Lady Knight coach Rich Heitz. They ve come out strong over the last few games since the Maloney match. Getting into some competition with ourselves in our warmup has let us jump out a little earlier in games. of strong swimmers and excellent divers, said Tuttle. I ve been really impressed with the talent of opposing divers, but we ve been able to adjust. We had the right match-ups, and it wasn t just in the middle lanes. We have girls in those outer lanes that can compete, too. Without diving at Maloney, the Knights still managed to open a 38-point lead and cruised to a win over Meriden s co-op. There was no question with two victories last week. Southington took early leads and cruised to a pair of 3-0 sweeps. On Monday, the Knights surged past New Britain in three straight matches. Southington held the Hurricanes to seven points in game one, five points in game two, and put the match out of reach with a win in game three. Maryssa Romano (7 digs) powered the offense with 12 kills. Caroline Barry and Michelle Stublarec scored six kills apiece, while Sylwia Lewkowicz and Danielle David added four kills apiece.

36 36 To advertise, call (860) Athletes of the week Erin Angelillo seemed to skip across the Town Green as if she didn t have a care in the world. Five male runners were kicking hard to beat her, but Angelillo seemed to dance past them. For years, the Lady Knight soccer team has used the Apple Harvest 5K Road Race as a way to condition and celebrate a former player on the boys team. The Chris Sanchez Award has become the measure for the fastest runner. This year, Angelillo raised the bar. She didn t just beat her teammates and a long list of male runners. Angelillo won the race. It s a tradition. Every year, the soccer team runs this race, and it s good to get everyone out and start running, she said. I really didn t think that I would win. I didn t really have a strategy. I just wanted to run and have some fun. She did it on tired legs. Angelillo was coming off a two win week that snapped a six-game losing streak. Angelillo anchored the defense with two shutout victories. She rarely left the field, but Lady Knight coach Mike Linehan wasn t surprised that his star bounced back with an Apple Harvest win. Angelillo s time rivaled the scores posted by the Lady Knight cross country team in their recent win. Erin is a special athlete.

Nick Dalidowitz clutched the trophy to his chest and grinned widely at he talked about the Apple Harvest 5-Mile Road Race. Dalidowitz didn t win the overall prize. In fact, he trailed the winner by almost two minutes, but the 31-year old veteran held his own in a pack of 20-year olds at the front of the race. He edged two to score second place overall. His closest Southington competitor finished almost three minutes later, do after a six year drought, he recaptured the Dave Gworek Award as the top local finisher. That was his goal from the start. This is the most important thing that I can win because Dave Gworek was actually my cousin, he said. It s a family award, so it s really important to me. I know how much work Dave did for triathalons and everything. I grew up with his kids, so this means a lot to me. Dalidowitz (28:37) is no stranger to the front pack. Since he began running the local event in 2006, he has finished in the top five every year but one. He came into this year s event with a pair of second place finishes, a third place finish, and a trio of fourths. But after dropping to sixth place last year, Dalidowitz had something to prove...but only to himself.

For 160 minutes in regulation, the Lady Knight soccer team held opponents off the board. Since cruising by Platt, 5-1, in the season opener, the Lady Knights have struggled with a six-game losing streak that stretches back to Sept. 12. But a 4-0 win over New Britain snapped the streak, and a 5-0 victory over Windsor proved it was no fluke. Now, the Knights (3-6) are refocused on their postseason goals. Girls Soccer I think that, this week, we definitely turned things around, and I m hopeful, said Lady Knight coach Mike Linehan. When you re practicing so long but you aren t successful, I think you start to doubt yourself. Hopefully, they ve gained back that level of confidence this week to be able to go back to the CCC West and see what we can do. Sarah Palko opened the scoring in both contests with two first half goals in both contests and a second half assist against Windsor, but she wasn t alone. Jess Goralski score a goal in each of the first three halves and capped the streak with a second I ve been saying it since the beginning. You had better get us early. We ve got our confidence back, and I think things are going to be different. Sept. 30 Southington 4 New Britain 0 Oct. 2 Southington 5 Windsor 0 half assist against Windsor. Nikki Carter, Ariana Gazaferi, and Emily Maciejewski earned assists against New Britain, while Adalaine Meier and Erin Angelillo collected asssists against Windsor. Gazaferi exploded in the second game with two goals and two assists as Southington switched up Mike Linehan, SHS girls soccer coach their possession-style attack with a more direct style. It was much more direct, but we had a different attitude as well, said Linehan. We talked a lot about it, and nobody s going to come into our turf and do what teams have done to us over the last two weeks. We have a little bit more passion about believing in ourselves and who we are. Defensively, the team was perfect, allowing just one shot against New Britain and four against Windsor. Margaret Mellitt and Janelle Mangassarian combined for just five saves but came away with a pair of shutout wins. It starts from the goal out, and I have been very pleased with what the two of them have been doing, said Linehan. I hope we use this for the confidence that we need to go into next week. We ve got just a totally different attitude, and I m really happy about that. Now, the girls will look to change their fortunes in conference play as they begin the second round of CCC West opponents. It won t get easier with matchups this week against Conard JOHN GORALSKI Sarah Palko races to a loose ball during a 5-0 win over Windsor. Palko scored four goals and an assist in a pair of victories last week. (5-4), NW Catholic (6-3), and Farmington (5-2-2), but Linehan expects his team to rise to the challenge. The first time around, Southington were out-scored 7-1 in three losses, but Linehan expects things to change in the rematch. I ve been saying it since the beginning. You had better get us early, he said. We ve got our confidence back, and I think things are going to be different. Girls win Nonnewaug SHS Cross Country is finding its stride By JOHN GORALSKI SPORTS WRITER Lauren Perkowski (20:06.72) charged into the top five at the Nonnewaug Invitational Meet. Gabi Napoli (20:36.07) broke into the top 10, and Catherine Myers (20:51.97) finished 14th, but that was expected. On Friday, Oct. 5, Coach Dan Dachelet expected his top three runners to compete against the top girls at the Woodbury race, but even he couldn t expect what happened next. Cross Country Amanda Hamel (20:52.97) finished on Myers heels to claim 15th place in the varsity race, and sophomore Carson Stifel (20:56.05) capped Southington s scoring at 17th place. Sarah Minkiewicz didn t score, but she finished in the top 20 overall. When Southington s second alternate, Megan Albert, crossed the finish line ahead of Avon s last scorer, it meant that the Knights had finished seven runners before anybody else had managed to finish five. Amanda Hamel really stepped up, and the rest packed in well, said Dachelet. Carson broke into the top five for the first time, and that was nice. I think we re ready to do something special. Avon was a ranked team, and that might be the first time that we ve been able to do something like this. When the dust settled, Southington (58) edged Avon (60) atop the team standings. East Hampton (139), Oxford (143), and Nonnewaug (155) trailed far behind. The Knights had surged pasts 11 other programs to snatch their victory at an invitational meet. There was some really good quality up front with some of these teams, Dachelet said. It was a very good race for us. The girls were far from finished. Southington scored five girls in the top 10 at the JV meet and swept the competition with all seven runners in the top 13. Southington s top two JV finishers would have scored in the top half of the varsity race. Even the boys scored well despite tired legs. Sean Garrison (16:48.82) set the pace with a 10th place finish. Mark Murdy (17:01.02) finished 15th overall. Jack Myers (17:19.61) and Brandon Bayron (17:28.82) both finished in the top 30 with Nick Raguzzine (17:31.68) rounding out the scoring just outside the top 30. New Milford (29) out-distanced Cheshire (52) to take the team title, but Southington (108) finished just one point behind Shepaug Valley for fourth place overall. The mileage is still there on them, and I think that they re a little sore. But they still ran well, said Dachelet. They still ran fast, but I think they all feel there s still something more under the hood. Now, both teams will begin the taper as Southington prepares for the upcoming postseason. I already began cutting the mileage, said Dachelet. We re going to do a workout on Tuesday against New Britain, and we re going to get a nice interval training in on Thursday or Friday before we cut the mileage back to get fresh legs. We re going to get ready to roll for conferences. To comment on this story or to contact sports writer John Goralski, him at jgoralski@southingtonobserver.com.

Nobody else was even close at the front of the 5K event, and the former Blue Knight bounded down the street in rhythm to the clanging bells. Don t ask for whom the bells tolled at the end of the 2014 Apple Harvest Road Race. They tolled for Garcia. His time was pretty good, and he didn t have a lot of competition with him, said Apple Harvest Road Race Director John Myers. He might have been able to get pushed more, but he still ran a fast time. The times were great this year, and what can you say about those top five mile guys? They just keep cranking them out. To have a Southington native at the front of the local race was just the icing on the cake. After a rain-drenched event in 2013, the sunny skies and low autumn temperatures brought runners out in droves this fall. A record number of athletes (1,974) participated in the annual event, and Southington runners captured most of the top spots. Garcia won the 5K men s race (17:13), and Erin Angelillo finished first in the women s race (21:08). Regional runners captured both titles in the 5-mile event, but local athletes captured six division titles in the signature event and nine division titles in the 5K event. We couldn t have asked for better weather, said Myers. We had record numbers again, and I was very impressed to hear so many people running a 5K road race for the first time. This is a new health journey, and a lot of people were working toward this. It was nice to see. It wasn t about their times. It was about completing a 5K race. For the fourth year in a row, Old Saybrook s Chris Rosenberg (26:25) captured the title on the 5-mile course. He edged Southington s Nick Dalidowitz (28:37) by almost two minutes, but Dalidowitz scored his first Dave Gworek Award since 2008 for being the first local man to finish the signature event. Realistically, this was my last year to win it, Dalidowitz said with a laugh. The 31-year old continues to keep pace with the 20-something frontrunners, but that might be about to change. Next year, we could potentially add Matt Walker and Bryan Wilcox to the mix. They re both graduating from college, and they re both extremely good runners at the collegiate level. Chris Rosenberg, Jimmy Rosenberger, and I have been joking that we could break the course record next year and still not win the race. The 5-mile women s title was captured by Watertown runner Laura Pieger (32:05). Second place finisher Molly Palmieri (33:38) captured the Gworek Award as the top Southington woman. Pieger shattered last year s best time by almost three minutes. Palmieri s second place time would have beaten all three of last year s top finishers by more than two minutes. JOHN GORALSKI Sunny skies and cool temps drew record numbers to the start of the 2014 Apple Harvest Road Race. Apple Harvest Road Race Local runners set the pace for record crowds Road Race See photos, page 34 People at the front are still able to crank it out, but at the same time it s become a good race for everyone. John Myers, 2014 Apple Harvest Road Race Director They were flirting with six minute miles all the way through, and we know that the five mile course is so challenging. Those are tremendous times, Myers said about the pace in the women s competition. I m not surprised by Molly s great time and success in our race. She has put a lot of time into her training, and she had success pretty recently in the half-marathon in Bristol. Myers said that the biggest story was the crowd of yellow jerseys and white jerseys that peppered both courses with the rise of fundraising teams like Team Lauryn and Team Kim. This is the third year that Team Lauryn has flooded the course, and Team Kim came out in numbers for this year s event. Team Lauryn was built to support an academic scholarship named for Lauryn Ossola, a former YMCA and Lady Knight swimmer who died tragically in an accident in 2011 at the age of 23. Team Kim was comprised of family and friends of Kimberly Matukaitis Cence who died unexpectedly in February of this year. The team featured her husband and two of her three children. It was emotional to see runners from both teams, said Myers. I knew Kim pretty well from camp, and it was great to see so many people keeping their memories alive. Then, there were so many other teams just forming. We even had some people from John Goralski About Town Sports Mind Games Afew weeks ago John Myers beckoned me across the crowd at the Sloper Relays, and he leaned in to talk in hushed tones. You re going to need one of these, he said and motioned to his bright orange safety vest. You re going to get trampled. It was true. There were hordes of spectators wandering around the fields at Camp Sloper. Eleven high school cross country programs and five middle school teams were warming up for the start of their race. Where do I get one? I asked anxiously. Myers just shrugged and walked away. Around town, the Apple Harvest Road Race director is known as Mr. Nice Guy. He s always got a smile. He s always got the time to talk, and he seems to have a helping hand in every community program. I know the truth. Myers is my arch rival, and his taunting at the Sloper Relays was a way to throw down the gauntlet for our yearly competition. That means it s time for the Apple Harvest Road Race. It s one of the most watched sporting events in town. There are more spectators than Thanksgiving football and high school championship games. Festival fans track the five milers as they navigate the signature race. Others wait in the Main Street gallery for family and friends to appear at the end of the 5K race. Everyone seems to gather for the Little Fritters at the end, and people are dotted along the course screaming encouragement to their favorite runners. But the most coveted prize each year is the shining bronze trophy for the Media Challenge. It s more prestigious than the Stanley Cup, and the competition isn t open to everyone. The times aren t broadcast on the internet or in the papers, but the winner has bragging rights throughout the year. The Media Challenge is open to sports writers, photographers, and race directors. While runners try to find their pace on the Southington roads, we re elbowing our way through the crowds with a mission. First, we have to weather the stampede at the starting line. Then, we have to stumble through the crowds, overloaded with backpacks and camera equipment, in a mad dash toward the finish line. The clock keeps ticking. We strain our ears for the sound of the first finisher, and we race to get the right settings on our cameras while Myers readies his army of volunteers for the end of the race. It s not a marathon. It s a sprint, and it usually comes down to Myers and me. John Atashian is the official photographer for the festival, so he s part of the competition. This year, we saw the return of the daily newspapers. Freelance photographer See ROAD RACE, page 33 See MYERS, page 33
