For the second year in arow, Activate Southingtonsponsored its Walk/Bike toSchool Day for Southington’smiddle schools.
Both DePaolo andKennedy middle school stu-dents got to enjoy a crisp,clear May morning as theyhopped on their bikes ormarched their way to schoolgrounds. Children were es-corted by chaperones — pop-ular Connecticut mascotssuch as Rocky the Rock Cat
at DePaolo; or Pucky theWhale at JFK.
Activate Southington is atown-wide program to pro-mote healthy lifestyles thatincorporate exercise andhealthy dieting.
However, some students,like DePaolo eighth-graderDavid Pangbora might notneed as much guidance. “Iride every day,” Pangborasaid. He was one of the firststudents to roll in on a bicy-cle to kick off the morning.About three or four otherstudents rode in on bikes,while the rest walked.
Students had the option towalk or bike from home, ormeet at designated spots towalk with other students andchaperones. DePaolo stu-dents met at Memorial Park,and students of JFK met atthe Plantsville Town Green.
DePaolo eighth-graderAmanda Thompson said shewalks to school on a regularbasis, adding that it helped towake her. “If you lookaround, everyone seems to bemore awake,” she said.
She added that the daygave her an opportunity to

Southington publicschools recently pulled to-gether to initiate a fundrais-er to benefit the ConnecticutFisher House, based in NorthHaven.
The Fisher House Founda-tion exists to build comforthomes for veterans and theirfamilies during a medicalcrisis so they can stay closewhile undergoing treatment.A new Fisher House is sched-uled to be built on the cam-pus of the Veterans Affairs
Healthcare System in WestHaven and funds are beingcollected.
During the week of May14-18, every homeroom in thedistrict was given packagesof Fisher House bracelets tosell for $2 each. Studentswent out and sold (or bought)the bracelets and all the pro-ceeds will go to the FisherHouse. In the one week span,2,000 bracelets were sold,reeling in $4,000.
The bracelets were sup-plied free of charge by theCreed Law Firm, so no mon-ey was needed to even get the
fundraiser going.“The kids were excited to
get their bands and wearthem proudly,” said FlandersElementary School teacher

By Brandi SabatoSpecial to the Citizen
On May 12, Arts Happen-ings, a grassroots independ-ent organization, sponsored“Art in the Yard: An OutdoorArt Showing & Sale.” The or-ganization’s mission is to in-spire personal growththrough the arts by providingopportunities for education,exploration, enrichment andexperience.
The event was a unique op-portunity for independentartists throughout the stateand region to showcase andsell their work to the public.This was the first event of itskind in the Southington area,and Arts Happenings’ co-founder Lynn Flaherty isproud of the turnout and re-sults.
“We went into this eventnot knowing what the out-come would be, but we knewthat we put a ton of effort in,and that something positivewould come out of it. We hada pretty good turnout, and all
of the artists were reallyhappy just to be a part of thisevent; and we were so happyto have them on board,” shesaid.
“Art in the Yard” featured20 independent and freelanceartists displaying works invarious media includingacrylic paintings, handmadefiber optic masquerademasks, handmade wire andstone cocktail rings, andhandmade ceramics and pot-tery. Flaherty is thankful forthe word-of-mouth publicitythe event received prior to itskickoff to generate interest.
“We relied on free media
outlets to publicize the event,and it turned out pretty well.We definitely learned a thingor two from throwing thisfirst event, and we are excit-ed and ready to start plan-ning our second ‘Art in theYard’ for the end of this sum-mer. We are striving for it tobe bigger and better, and inthe meantime, we will con-tinue our work to bring thearts to the foreground in thecommunity,” she said.

Community services aim to ease local hungerBy E. Richard Fortunato
Special to the Citizen
Hunger is without bound-aries. To the credit of com-munities like Southington,there are agencies which op-erate expressly for the pur-pose of making life more
bearable for those in eco-nomic duress. With the lin-gering woes of a fragile econ-omy, the number of familiesin need has significantly in-creased, thus putting greaterstress on agencies providingrelief to the hungry.
Janet Mellon, director of
Southington CommunityServices, said: “We buy foodfrom Food Share, a greatsource for non-profits feed-ing the hungry. Their verymodest costs allow us tostretch dollars generouslydonated by private individu-als, church and faith congre-gations, businesses and pro-fessional groups as well ascivic and service organiza-tions as well as food dona-tions from those sources.”
With the continuing in-creased demand for food,Mellon and her team of vol-unteers have identified spe-cific food items that arechronically in short supply.
To help balance the supplyand demand, they are mak-ing a focused appeal thismonth for donations of thefollowing staple items in thefamily diet: cereals, tunafish, peanut butter and jelly,macaroni and cheese andpasta products. These itemsare not only in high demandbut their availability fromFood Share and their costlimit the quantities attain-able.
Consequently, there’s amore urgent emphasis thismonth on the call for thesefoods with the hope of“catching up” or closing thegap between supply and de-
mand.“The goal is to enlist the
support of our townspeopleby Memorial Day, Monday,
May 28,” Mellon said, “as wehonor those who’ve made thesupreme sacrifice for ourcountry and those who con-tinue to put their lives on theline every day.”
Donations may be deliv-ered to the Southington FoodPantry, 91 Norton St., Mon-day through Friday, 8:30 a.m.to noon and 1 p.m. to 4:30 p.m.Advance calls can be made to(860) 628-3761 to help ensure aquick and easy giving expe-rience.

walk with her friends, andthe recognition from adultswas nice, too.
“It’s cool they’re all recog-nizing how we do the walk-ing and are promoting it,”Thompson said.
Southington-CheshireCommunity YMCA Execu-
tive Director John Myerswalked in with the students,and expressed his satisfac-tion with having so manykids come out and stretchtheir legs before school.
“It’s just a way to showkids it’s naturally fun just towalk,” he said, pointing overto the line of cars pulling upfor the morning’s studentdrop-off. “As you can see, so
many parents just drop theirkids off all the time.”
Myers added the hope is toget elementary schools in-volved in upcoming years aswell, not just the middleschools.
Students at both schoolswere greeted with bottles ofwater and fruit snacks aftertheir journey, and wereasked to fill out a survey
about what they thoughtabout the event. Each stu-dent was automatically en-tered into a raffle after par-ticipating in the survey, andhad a chance to win prizeslike an iPod Nano or daypasses to Six Flags.
DePaolo sixth-grader An-thony Riccio reveled in thechance for some extra exer-cise, walking in from Memo-rial Park and then groovingaway to the “Cha Cha Slide,”courtesy of the DJ blastingtunes for students.
“It was awesome,” Ricciosaid, adding that walking toschool is something he’d“definitely” like to keep do-ing.
DePaolo Principal FrankPepe said there are students
who normally walk or bikeanyway, but the approxi-mately 50 students who par-ticipated at DePaolo were“definitely more than we’veseen in quite some time.”
Kennedy Middle Schoolrecorded 78 students in par-ticipation.
Being in its second year,Pepe said the day definitelyhas turned into an event.
“Excitement aside thismorning, the kids are enjoy-ing themselves,” he said.“We’re hoping that it spursthem to do this more often.”

In his presentation, Lu-ciano said that infertility,which affects 10-15 percent ofcouples worldwide, is a
symptom that the couple’sreproductive system is notfunctioning normally, andlike other dysfunctional or-gans such as the heart or kid-ney, requires evaluation andappropriate management.Infertility treatment may in-volve hormonal or surgicaltreatments and sometimeshighly specialized treatmentlike in vitro fertilization.With IVF, the egg is fertilizedin the laboratory, independ-ent of sexual intercourse.

While the word “pain” is often used to describe the response todamaging stimuli, “nociception” may be a more apt term. It refers tothe electro-chemical signals that are generated in the body inresponse to injury and then transmitted along nerve fibers to thespinal cord and up to the brain. In this sense, pain is what the brainperceives, not what is occurring at an injury site. While pain can bean acute event, such as when touching a hot stove, chronic pain canpersist long after an injury has healed. This prolonged perception isdue to “rewiring” and alteration of the nervous system, which may besomething that chiropractic treatment can help address.
Chiropractic can be of enormous benefit in lessening pain withoutthe need for drugs. Please call our clinic at (860) 621-2225 for anappointment. Here at 200 Queen St., we offer the latest state-of-the-art chiropractic techniques. Our mission is to improve the quality ofyou and your family’s health and well-being. The answers you need.The care you deserve.
P.S. Chiropractors are specially trained to alleviate vertebralmisalignments as a means of taking stress off the nervous system
and allowing nerves to function and heal normally.

Joyce McAloon. “Everyonecelebrated Armed Forces Day[on Friday] and to see the seaof bracelets in the schoolswas just wonderful.”
McAloon said with nomoney going out to get thefundraiser started, therewere really no goals.
“If you make a penny, youmade a penny more than youhave, so we didn’t have any
goals, we just said roll it out,we’re gonna sell these,”McAloon said. “We want tosupport the Fisher House, wewant to show that Southing-ton’s in on this, so we werehappy to get $4,000.”
Veteran Len Marchesellesaid he was never happier tobe a veteran than to see thekids going out and raisingmoney the way they did.
“Our little children wentout and they bought, or theysold, these little braceletsand they got nothing but a
big thank you and a hug,”Marcheselle said.
Rachel Wache said thefundraiser was a “win-win”for everyone.
“So they can do the job tokeep us [safe] here at home,”she said. “So this is a give-back to them and to theirfamilies.”
The district also recentlyestablished a Veterans Com-mittee to keep the schoolsconnected to veteransaround town. The committeeis divided into five sub-com-
mittees: the Speakers Bu-reau, Living History SkypeProject, Music Partnership,Internal Scan – SPS Employ-ees – Service, and WoundedWarrior – CT Fisher Home.The committees and thebracelet fundraiser are partof a long-term partnershipwith town veterans to pro-mote patriotism and civicpride.
“I’d love to have studentson every one of our commis-sions,” said Superintendentof Schools Joseph V. Erardi.
“And I think the natural tiein is when you talk about re-sponsibility and youth tak-ing responsibility.”
The overall initiative,highlighted as Veterans Day“Throughout the Year,” in-volves a laundry list of activ-ities and classes designed toinstill an appreciation formilitary service men andwomen.
“I want all students to bet-ter understand the freedomswe have every day,” Erardisaid.

Food safety tips for Memorial DayBy Shane LockwoodDirector of Health,
Plainville-SouthingtonRegional Health District
Summertime is a greattime for get-ting togetherwith familyand friendsfor a picnicor barbeque;it also pres-ents idealc o n d i t i o n sfor bacteriaand other pathogens to growand cause foodborne illness.The Centers for Disease Con-trol and Prevention estimatesthat 1 in 6 Americans getssick each year from food-borne illness. With MemorialDay approaching and grillingseason about to begin, thePlainville-Southington Re-gional Health District wouldlike to remind residents ofthese safe food handling prac-
tices that will make your pic-nics and barbeques a suc-cess:
Hands: Persons cookingand handling foods musthave clean hands. Wash yourhands with warm soapy wa-ter, for at least 20 seconds,and then dry your hand witha clean towel before and afterhandling different foods.
Thaw: Thaw foods in a re-frigerator, microwave orduring the cooking process.Never thaw foods by leavingit out on the counter. Harm-ful bacteria can grow in rawmeats, poultry, eggs and fishwhen left out in the tempera-ture “Danger Zone” (between45 degrees and 140 degreesFahrenheit).
Marinate: Always mari-nate foods in the refrigerator.Marinades used previouslyon raw foods should not bere-used on cooked foods. Ad-ditionally, plates, cuttingboards and utensils thatcame in contact with rawmeats or raw meat juicesmust be washed with hotsoapy water before comingin contact with cooked foods.
Temperature: Use a food(thin probe) thermometer tocheck and insure that meatsare thoroughly cooked. Ham-
burgers and pork productsshould be cooked to at least160 degrees Fahrenheit,while poultry and hot dogsmust be cooked to 165 de-grees Fahrenheit. If you arere-heating previouslycooked meats, make sure toheat them up to 165 degreesFahrenheit.
Storage: Keep the hotfoods warm on the grill andthe cold foods chilled on ice.Be sure to have plenty ofcoolers and ice available.Completely separate the rawmeats, poultry and fish fromany ready-to-eat foods, likelettuce, tomatoes, watermel-on and breads. This will pre-vent the harmful organisms,found in the raw meats, fromcontaminating the ready-to-eat foods.
Wash: All fruits and veg-etables should be washed be-fore use.
The Plainville-Southing-ton Regional Health Districtwould also like to remindresidents of the need to wearsunscreen with SPF 15, dur-ing extended periods of timeoutdoors. If you have anyquestions or would like addi-tional information, pleasecall the health district at(860) 276-6275.

Not all hamburgers are created equal.We have tested and re-tested our
burgers, drawing from an old familyrecipe to add the right amount of the rightspices to bring out those taste temptingflavors that tantalize as well as satisfy.
Our burgers are made fresh each day.Every day. No exceptions. Nothing is everfrozen. Ever. This ensures that everyburger is the best you can buy.That’s whywe don’t have any freezers.
Burger making is an art. Each of ourburgers is grilled to order. That’s thereason we don’t have a drive thru windoweither. Perfection takes time.
That’s our promise to you. It’ll be thebest seven minute wait of your life.
Our Pop wouldn’t have it any other way.His name is on the sign. It’s our sign of
pride. A constant reminder of ourheritage. We think of it as the goldstandard for burger lovers everywhere.
And our fries are equally singular infreshness, quality and taste.
Our fries are cut from farm freshpotatoes each morning by hand. Onepotato at a time. Then they are timed
cooked to perfection in their skins innatural peanut oil. Nothing less wouldpass our standards nor wouldcomplement our burgers better.
And two words about our handscooped and individually blendedmilkshakes: try one.
Taste is everything. That’s the secret towinning awards.

Cheshire softball coach MaureenHoag DiSorbo and her twinsister/assistant coach KathleenHoag were inducted into the LymanHall High School Hall of Fame thisspring.
Plainville softball coach Jen Mi-cowski will go into the SouthingtonHall of Fame later this year for herexploits when she was known as JenGombotz.
And Platt softball coach Trish Wo-datch has a Hall of Fame hat trick:Platt High School, Eastern Connecti-cut State and Connecticut Softball.
No question, we have a few areasoftball teams led by coaches who, intheir playing days, were stars. Allfour of the above were All-Statescholastic players who went on tocheckered college careers before be-coming mentors to the next genera-tion.
Which brings to mind the old TedWilliams adage of how great playerscan sometimes make for terriblecoaches. It’s a simple posit: The staris so gifted and so driven that ordi-nary talent or intensity cannot bebrooked or even understood.
And so there is poor connection,
little nurturing. Splendid splintersbegin to fester.
Perhaps if Teddy Ballgame was aschool teacher he’d have done betterwith his Senators. That’s somethingstate senators might want to chew on
while wrangling with Gov. DannelMolloy over education reform.Teaching, after all, is the coachingbedrock for Wodatch, Micowski andthe Hoag sisters. What they do on thesidelines isn’t solely based on what
they once did on the field. It alsorests on what they do in the class-room.
As Kathleen Hoag remarked, “Ithink coaching, by any other word isteaching, and Maureen and I areboth teachers. It’s just another wayof breaking down and teaching a dif-ferent strategy and making sure ifthey don’t have that skill set, youfind another way to teach it to them.”
The Hoags, who led Lyman Hall tothe 1998 Class LL softball champi-onship before going on to SCSU(Maureen) and Notre Dame (Kath-leen), are social studies teachers atCheshire High.
Micowski , an ace Southingtonsoftball pitcher in the mid-90s whowas even better at basketball (that’sthe sport she played at ProvidenceCollege), teaches math at PlainvilleHigh.
Wodatch, a two-time softball All-American at ECSU at two differentpositions in the 1980s, teaches P.E.and health at Platt.
It’s the teacher in them that pro-vides patience while curbing thefrustration of the past player. Be-cause the latter hasn’t gone away: Alittle Teddy Ballgame remains in

each of them. “It’s always something you
struggle with, especially ifyou’re competitive,” said Mi-cowski . “It’s tough to bringthat out of people from timeto time. You’ve got to work onit every day. It takes repeti-tion; it takes desire to get bet-ter. Sometimes you coachpeople and they peak andplateau, and they’re satisfiedwith what they are. It getsfrustrating sometimes to tryto push them over that humpand challenge them to keepgetting better and not to set-tle.”
Said Hoag DiSorbo, “WhenI first started coaching (in2004) it was difficult only be-cause the intensity and pas-sion I had, I assumed everysoftball player had that, but itwasn’t the same.”
And this from Wodatch,who is in her 14th seasonwith the Panthers after start-ing her coaching career at thecollege level: “Patience? Ohmy god, patience is a virtue,I’ll tell you that.”
Although interviewed sep-arately, the head coachesvoiced similar thoughtsabout how female sports havechanged. In particular:
- With much busier livesand far more distractions,players aren’t as committednowadays. Focus is lacking.
“All I did when I was inschool was play sports; I hadthe time to devote to it,” saidMicowski. “My heart goesout to kids because they’repulled in 20 million differentdirections. A lot of stress on
them these days.”- Out-of-season opportuni-
ties - AAU, travel ball - aremore numerous, yet aren’tnecessarily producing betterplayers. Once the domain ofelite athletes, travel pro-grams are now more the do-main of those who can paythe fee.
“I feel like we’re missingthe fundamentals,” saidHoag DiSorbo. “When I waslittle, I was taught funda-mentals, I was taught thegame ... I’m a head coach and
I’m still teaching high schoolplayers how to slide and thatthey have to tag (up) withless than two outs.”
This drives the old playersnuts. Yet in the next breath,the teacher in them comesforth to say how much theylove their players.
“I have a great time withthese guys,” said Wodatch.“Do I get mad in an inningwhere we make all these mis-takes? Absolutely. Do I wantto pull my hair out and getgray hair? Absolutely, and I
do get them. But at the end,they are still great kids andthey are great role models forthe kids at the younger level.On the field and in the class-room, these kids are greatand I wouldn’t trade ‘em foranything.”
So they coach who they’ve
got, and this is where teach-ing method is far handierthan athletic ability. In thisera of inclusion, it’s the rareclass taught in a uniformway.

In the beginning of the seasonSouthington boys tennis head coachTony Mauro was hoping to finish at8-8, qualify for the tournament, butmore importantly, play a steady sea-son and continue the program on aconsistent trend up. After a three-game losing streak, it looked as ifthings might be a little different thanhe had predicted.
But with three games remainingcoming into this week, the state ofSouthington boys tennis is right
where it needs to be - on the contin-ued slope upwards.
“They’re doing well,” Mauro said.“I guess you’ve got to expect a diphere and there. This season we’repretty close to where I thought we’dbe; though, I thought we’d be more inthe range of .500, but there weresome matches that were close -tiebreaks, etc.”
Mauro was especially pleasedwith a 4-3, super-tight win overNorthwest Catholic on May 7, wherefortunes were reversed and some ofthose tiebreaks went the BlueKnights way.
“I’m quite thrilled with this one,”said a giddy Mauro afterwards.
Now with another season windingdown, the always-passionate Maurolooked broadly at the state of the ten-nis program.
“The first year I had the team,about six years ago, we had one play-er go to Rocky Hill and play indoorsduring the winter. This year, we had13 of them over there. Now that aloneshould indicate a rise in the qualityof play. We have some people in thepipeline, these rookies, doing ex-tremely well,” he said.
Following up, the head coach said
he has those rookies on the varsitycourts this year, just showing thatthe younger classes are getting intothe flow of the program as quick asever.
“The level of interest, definitelybetter,” said Mauro bluntly.
And in terms of positive growth...“I think so. I see that,” he said.Mauro then paused and looked
over at his kids, all along the fencecheering on their teammates. Hesaid that wasn’t the culture when he

“You can’t go into the class-room thinking that one styleof teaching or a lesson plan isgoing to work,” said HoagDiSorbo. “I have studentswho are visual learners; Ihave students with cognitivedisabilities that require ac-commodations to their learn-ing. I do the best I can to scaf-fold a lot of my teaching.”
The term is “modifica-tion,” and it readily trans-lates to the field.
“Not every player reactsthe same way and can becoached the same way,” HoagDiSorbo said. “I learned that

early on and it was difficultfor me my first couple yearscoaching. It took some timeto recognize every player isdifferent and I have to be ableto adjust my coaching tomake sure my girls are per-forming at their max. Thereare some kids who respondwell to the yells and the nega-tive reinforcement andthere’s some that need to beloved up and given positivereinforcement.”
“Loved up” was probablynot in the Ted Williams man-agerial lexicon. On area dia-monds it is, even among fieryand fantastic former players.
“I think I’ve learned pa-tience over the years; I think
I’ve calmed down in thesense of not getting frustrat-ed with them and flying offthe handle. I kind of think alittle more. I’ve maturedmore in that aspect,” saidWodatch. “If a kid in myclass is doing poorly, you sit‘em down and talk to themand get them through it, ifthey’re going throughthings. It’s the same on thefield. It’s enjoyable to do.”
“And that’s what my col-lege coach said, ‘We’re goingto win some, we’re going tolose some, but you have tohave fun; you have to enjoyit.’ I still do. I’ll still coach tillI’m done having fun.”
