The families of Mitchell Farr, left, and C.J. Maygar aretrying to raise awareness about Urea Cycle Disorders.

By Amy MagyarSpecial to The Citizen

Two local families, theFarrs and the Magyars, havesons who suffer from UreaCycle Disorders, a rare en-zyme deficiency. The FarrFamily, of New Britain,started CJ’s Fund for UreaCycle Disorders, a non-profitorganization dedicated toraising awareness regardingUCD and funds for research,soon after their son, CJ, wasdiagnosed. The Magyar Fam-ily, of Southington, joinedthe Farrs in their efforts, af-ter their son, Mitchell, was

diagnosed.Since there is so little

known about these disor-ders, they do not get therecognition or funding thatother diseases/illnesses/dis-orders receive. The responsi-bility of raising awarenessand funds lies completely onthe families and friends ofthe individuals living withthese disorders. Therefore,both families have made ittheir mission to make a dif-ference in the world of UCDand find a cure, so no oneelse has to suffer, as theirsons do every single day.

UCD are devastating to af-

fected individuals and theirfamilies – as there is no cureand the disorders requireconstant daily managementto ensure metabolic stability.Due to the fact that these dis-orders are rare, they often goundiagnosed or misdiag-nosed and result in the tragicdeath of both children andadults. If they are diagnosed,it is often after the individ-ual has sustained brain ororgan damage. If diagnosedin a timely manner — the in-dividuals will struggle, on adaily basis, to maintain sta-

Youth groups to participate in30-Hour Famine at local church

The youth groups of St. Paul’s EpiscopalChurch in Southington will once againLove Hungry as they participate in WorldVision’s 30 Hour Famine. For the sixthyear, adult leaders and youth ages 12-18 willgo without food to raise funds and aware-ness for the more than 1 billion people whogo hungry everyday.

Kate Palinkos has participated in the 30Hour Famine for four years, and she said,“Even though it’s hard, I feel that I shouldkeep helping.”

Grace Herman, six-year participant,said, “Our youth group is like family, andwe go through it together and support eachother.”

As in past years, famine participantswill help to feed the homeless in Hartford’sBushnell Park; in addition, they will dis-tribute 75 pairs of socks and toiletry pack-ets that they have collected. This year theywill be celebrating the Eucharist in thepark as well. Participants will also be sup-

porting their hometown, as they are col-lecting nonperishable food and financialdonations for Southington Social Services.

Lily Herman, four-year participant,said, “For me it’s just 30 hours, but for peo-ple around the world and right here in ourhometown, it’s every day.”

Youth leader Dave Marquis, six-year par-ticipant, said, “After all these years, it’samazing how it affects you. Your brainprocesses slow down and you cannot func-tion when you’re hungry. Going throughthis gives you so much compassion for thehungry.”

Mary Palinkos, youth leader, said, “Itopens our eyes.”

The 30 Hour Famine will take place Fri-day, March 2 and Saturday, March 3. To con-tribute nonperishable food or financial do-nations, call the church office,at (860) 628-8486. St. Paul’s Episcopal Church is locatedat 145 Main St. in Southington.

Camp Sloper registration begins with 600 eager campersRegistration for YMCA

Camp Sloper’s 2012 day campseason has begun with a flur-ry! On the opening weekendof registrations we took inover 600 registrations. To becertain their child does notmiss out, parents should reg-ister as early as possible forthis 63rd year of day camp-ing at YMCA Camp Sloper.Most specialty camps stillhave some limited openings,but more registrations arebeing processed everyday forboth traditional and special-ty programs.

Registering early is thebest way to have the most op-tions in program and sessionchoices. Registration can bedone in person at either theSouthington or CheshireYMCA or online at www.ym-cacampsloper.org. As an in-centive to register early allcampers who are registeredduring the month of Febru-ary will be entered into a raf-fle to receive one free twoweek session of any campduring the 2012 camp season.

Membership to the YMCAis no longer required to at-

tend day camp at YMCACamp Sloper. Full membersof the Southington-CheshireCommunity YMCAs do re-ceived a discounted rate,however, so families mightwant to consider this option,especially if their child is at-tending more than one ses-sion of camp.

“We realize that the cost ofcamp is one of the roadblocks for some families inour communities. By elimi-nating the membership feeswe required in the past, thiscould save up to $65 per childfor some families,” saidMark Pooler, camp director.

YMCA Camp Sloper pro-vides financial assistance for

qualified families who live inSouthington and Cheshire.Interested families can con-tact either Lynn Palmieri forSouthington residents at(860) 426-9515 or KarenThuerk for Cheshire resi-dents at the Cheshire Com-munity YMCA at (203) 272-3150.

“Our recent Polar Plungeheld at YMCA Camp Sloperhas helped us get off to agreat start with somefundraising efforts for campscholarships. At that eventwe raised over $20,000 thatwe plan to use to provide fi-nancial assistance for YMCACamp Sloper this summer,”Pooler said. For those fami-

lies who just need a bit of ex-tra time to pay for camp, in-dividual payment plans canbe arranged by contactingLynn Palmieri at theSouthington CommunityYMCA.

“YMCA Camp Sloper is areally great option for par-ents in the summer; it allowscampers to meet new friends,learn new skills, enjoy thegreat outdoors, build rela-tionships with our staff andto have fun,” Pooler said.

From family tragedy emerges triumph, business owner saysBy Robin Lee Michel

The Southington Citizen

In recent years, people’sinterest in genealogy hasgrown with the prevalence offamily history websites andTV shows such as “Who DoYou Think You Are,” whichtraces the ancestry ofcelebrities.

However, Harry Terdjan-ian, owner of AutomasterService Center on thePlainville/Southington townline, doesn’t need to do re-search. His family heritagelives in his heart.

Terdjanian’s ancestorslived through the Armenian

genocide that began in 1915.April 24 is the date that isspecifically linked to thegenocide because it was onthat date in 1915 that Ot-toman Empire officials —Muslim Turks — arrestedmore than 250 Armenian in-tellectuals.

It is estimated that duringthe following seven years,more than 1.5 million Arme-nians died during the “eth-nic cleansing,” as the resultof death marches, killings,drownings and other inhu-mane acts. The people wereexpelled from their countryand when the horror endedonly 388,000 Armenians re-

mained in the Ottoman Em-pire.

Armenians and Chris-tians commemorate April 24with rallies in Washington,D.C., Hartford and otherplaces across the country.There are few people stillalive that lived through thegenocide.

Almost one century later,the issue is still very muchalive for Terdjanian becausegenocide is still occurringworldwide, he said.

Born in Malatya, Turkey,he and his family lived in 20countries, trying to find aplace to call home beforecoming to the United States.

Helping to keep the her-itage alive is a cherished pos-session: a framed pair ofphotos of his paternal grand-mother and grandfather thatwas carried on the journeyfrom Turkey. His grandmoth-er made it to the UnitedStates to start a new lifewhile his grandfather didnot.

The family history startedwhen Turkish soldiers soldhis grandparents — whowere young — to the Kurds asthey were passing throughKurdish villages. “They usedthem as slaves. From thatpoint on, my grandmothernever saw her parents, sis-ters or brothers, except forone brother,” he said.

Only 5 years old, she wasgiven her 2-year-old brotherto care for but the Kurdishfamily did not allow the tod-dler into the home becausehe would not have been use-ful. Placed under a tree, the

brothers, Barry and Bill De-Paolo Jr., were introduced atan early age to communityservice by their mother. Shewould take them with her asshe delivered meals and goodcheer to people in the hospi-tal, homes and nursing cen-ters. It seemed like everyonein town knew her mother.

“For me she was a wonder-ful role model,” said Val, 50.Her daughter said she was 10years old when her motheropened her business, afterlearning the ropes at her in-laws’ store — DePaolo’s Fur-niture, also located on CenterStreet. “She taught me you

can do whatever you want.Women were just starting tobreak barriers,” Val said.Though her mother had onlya high school education —having married Bill DePaoloSr. when she was 18 — herbusiness became one of themost successful in town.

Many of her employeesworked there for years andGail referred to them as “TheGirls.” The group still gets to-gether at Christmas time toshare the memories abouttheir boss, a woman theyloved.

Gail also was the unofficialringleader of a second group

of friends, also known as“The Girls.” These were sevenwomen who met in elemen-tary and high school. Theywould take turns hostingmonthly gatherings wherethey would eat, laugh and cry,and share stories into the weehours of the morning.

Gail also organized trips in-cluding the one they took toBoston in celebration of their50th birthdays. In her honor,the same group of womentook a trip to Boston last yearfor their 70th birthdays, thistime without Gail and June

ble metabolic status.This status can easily be

thrown askew by diet orchanges in body chemistry.In addition, it has beenproven that, even when theseindividuals are completelymetabolically stable, they aresustaining brain damage dueto the chemical imbalance intheir body, caused by the dis-orders.

CJ Farr had no recogniza-ble symptoms for the firstyear of his life and was thendiagnosed with a UCD short-ly after his first birthday,when he became violently ill.CJ’s symptoms mimickedthose of the stomach flu andtherefore, his UCD went un-treated for almost a week.During that time, he un-knowingly sustained highblood ammonia levels.

Throughout the years, thedoctors have continued tostruggle to maintain stablemetabolic conditions, for CJ,during times of crisis. Be-cause, despite CJ’s expensivedaily medicines and formu-las and his parents diligentmonitoring of his protein in-

take, his body’s careful bal-ance can very easily beknocked askew. The culpritcan be a minor illness, suchas a fever; or a bit too much ortoo little protein; or seeming-ly nothing at all. OTC is oneof the most difficult UCD, inregards to maintaining thebody’s metabolic stability.

Mitchell Magyar was diag-nosed at 7 days old, when theState of Connecticut new-born screening test con-firmed that he had a UCD. Atthe time of diagnosis,Mitchell was already show-ing signs that he was notwell. He was losing weight,was refusing to eat and wasextremely lethargic. All thesesymptoms were signs of ametabolic disorder, however;could have also been symp-toms of non-threateningnewborn baby issues. There-fore, neither the doctors, northe family, were aware thatanything was seriouslywrong, until they were noti-fied of the newborn screen-ing results.

By the time that they werecontacted, Mitchell was, un-knowingly, already very illand had sustained extremelyhigh blood ammonia levels

that may have damaged hisbrain and organs, specifical-ly his liver. At this time, al-though Mitchell is doingvery well, the future is un-known. This is due to thebuildup of argininosuccinicacid in his body, caused byhis specific type of UCD,which is believed to cause or-gan damage.

What is a UCD? When weeat protein, the body breaksit down into amino acids —needed for development andfunction of all cells - and en-

ergy. The byproduct of thisbreakdown is ammonia,which is toxic to the brainand organs. The urea cycle isa series of six enzymes in theliver that transfer this toxicammonia to a harmless com-ponent in the bloodstream,where it can then be elimi-nated from the body. Theprocess works seamlesslyand efficiently in almosteveryone — except in indi-viduals with a UCD. Theyhave a deficiency, or absence,of one of the urea cycle en-

zymes, which then allows theammonia to build up to toxiclevels. If untreated, the am-monia can travel through thebody, via the bloodstream, tothe brain, where it causesseizures, irreversible braindamage, coma and/or death.There is no cure for UCD.

Francesco kicked off discus-sions by pointing out theState of Connecticut couldbenefit from regionalizingseveral school districts, not-ing that about half of the dis-tricts have about 2,500 stu-dents or less.

“Many of the districts inConnecticut, school-wise, arevery tiny,” she said. “Theywould gain efficiency in com-bining those.”

Zalaski said regionalizingschool districts wasn’t a badidea, but towns generally putup a fight over things likethat, comparing it to the re-cent combination of healthdepartments betweenSouthington and Plainville.

“Just for us to regionalizeour health department, wehad to do it kicking andscreaming,” Zalaski said.“There’s a constant fightover that, but in realitythere’s 169 towns, couldn’t weregionalize it more? If youlook at it, it doesn’t makesense.”

Aresimowicz said forcingtowns into doing it would bea bad idea, but those that doshould be rewarded.

“If we can make it cost-ef-fective, I think we may beable to draw more people intoit.”

Markley stood opposed,

not wanting to force or re-ward it, noting two munici-palities in his district, Water-bury and Wolcott. He saidWolcott is the kind of townpeople would think shouldjoin up with Waterbury, butthe town is proud of theirschool system. He also saidrewarding towns could warpthe decision, and make itmore about money than whatis best for the town.

“I think I like to have astate of neutrality and allowthe towns to make decisionsbased on what they thinkmakes sense to them,” hesaid.

Board member Terry Lom-bardi raised the issue of un-funded mandates, somethingthat has been a thorn inSouthington’s side.

“I do understand it in ab-solute terms, but I don’t un-derstand the philosophy,” shesaid. “The state mandates somany things to us, but theydon’t fund it.”

Sampson responded, say-ing he would love for thosespecific mandates to bebrought to his attention, sohe could propose ways to getrid of them.

“The hard part is, peoplecomplain about unfundedmandates very often, butthey don’t pin down whatthey are for us,” he said.

Markley said he and Samp-

Fiondella, who had also diedfrom cancer.

Hail Fusco, one of thebunch, met Gail DeLuco in el-ementary school. “She was anonly child and I was one offour; she loved coming over tomy house,” because there wasso much activity, Fusco said.With classmate Alice Keeganthe three girls were always upto some adventures, much toGail’s mother’s fear, like thetime they were going to ride ina wagon down a steep neigh-borhood hill.

Over the subsequent years,their relationship waned asthey began raising their ownfamilies and Gail moved withher husband, Bill, to Califor-nia. But when she returned toher hometown they renewedtheir friendship and werethere for many of life’s crisis:deaths and eventually, cancer,with which Gail was diag-

nosed at age 55.“She was watching TV;

Meredith Baxter was talkingabout breast cancer,” Fuscosaid, and as Gail felt her ownbreast she discovered twolumps. After a mastectomy,chemo and radiation, every-one was optimistic that shehad beaten the disease.

A little more than one yearlater, friends and family wereshattered when they learnedit had metastasized and hadspread into her bones. NotGail; for the next eight andone-half years she continuedon with maintenance treat-ments.

She still brought a brightlight everywhere she went, in-cluding into the cancer clin-ics, where she was everyone’spersonal cheerleader.

“She was still quite active.She didn’t let her cancer takeher down. You wouldn’t evenknow she had it. She’d feel sor-ry for everyone else. When shewalked into a room, she was

bubbly, never complained,”Butkus said.

For Gail the saddest partabout having cancer was thatshe had to close her belovedbusiness. “She was very sadto retire and close the store.She loved it, the customers,the employees, the women sheworked with, that was hard,”Val said.

Cancer gave Gail new caus-

es in which to get involved in-cluding Relay for Life and Su-san G. Komen foundation. Shebecame an ambassador forwomen — friends andstrangers — who were also di-agnosed with breast cancer.Women would call her dayand night.

“She would reach out tothem. Her life had becomeabout breast cancer but she

had a lot of support andlaughter. She was very posi-tive about things, there wasalways someone worse thanshe,” Val said. Gail was one ofseveral women profiled in aRecord-Journal newspaperseries about breast cancer.

JUST THE RIGHT TOUCHMuch of the bodywork performed by the chiropractor centers around an

“spinal adjustment”, which involves moving a joint out of its usual range ofmotion but not beyond the point that the joint was anatomically designed tomove. To pinpoint the exact place in the vertebrae needing adjustment, thechiropractor uses examining procedures such as motion palpation (diagnostictouch) to detect misalignments of spinal bones. Unless corrected, thisabnormal positioning or functioning of the spinal joints may lead to irritatednerves and related problems. To relieve stress on irritated nerves, thechiropractor treats the patient with vertebral adjustments in an effort to putmisplaced areas of the spine back into alignment to restore the flow of nerveenergy.

By utilizing chiropractic techniques, many vertebral imbalances can beeliminated. Please call (860) 621-2225. Regular chiropractic care can reduceor eliminate many aches and pains. Visit us at 200 Queen St. The answersyou need. The care you deserve.

P.S. Chiropractic treatment is predicated on the belief that a body inbalance and without internal interference has the inherent ability to heal itself.

son are the two most opposedto mandates, which oftenmeans he votes againstthings that sound good andbeneficial. While to somefolks that might seem count-er-productive, he said it’s be-cause he knows that one solu-tion will not work for everytown.

“I really believe these deci-sions have to left at the locallevel,” he said. “I’ve got fourtowns to worry about, andone thing about that is youquickly realize the solutionsthat will work for Wolcottmight be exactly the wrongthing for Waterbury, so whyare we trying to come up withsolutions that work for every-body?”

Military Honor Roll


one-half years, the cancer andthe treatments began wearingher down. Even in her finalweek Gail was worried aboutothers, especially her hus-band, Frank. “I told her we’dtake care of him,” Fusco said.

A few days later, Fusco, ahospice nurse and anotherfriend were with her nearlyaround the clock. “I said, ‘they

are polishing your crown, thegate, God is waiting for you toget there. So you can let go.’The next morning the phonerang, it was not even 6 a.m.Frank told me, ‘she’s gone.’ Iran down there and huggedher.”

Gail’s funeral on July 17,2006 was two days before whatwould have been her 65thbirthday.

“She had much more to do,she had an unfinished life,”Val said. “She was so proud of

Southington, a real ambassa-dor. “I can’t think about herwithout smiling. I feel blessedshe was my mother.”

For those loved ones andthe community left behind,her legacy continues. Herson, Barry, opened AnthonyJack’s wood-fired grill 10years ago in the same locationthat was his mother’s giftshop. Her children continueto keep her memory alive intalking about her to her fivegrandsons, Clinton, Anthony,

Christopher, Joseph andJack.

“I still consider it her store.It was hers for 20 years,” Bar-ry said, about the AnthonyJack’s location. “My kitchenis where her office was, whereshe was all the time. I think ofher every day especially whenI’m in there.”

“No one deserves morehonoring than she does; wemiss her all the time. Herdeath left such a hole in ourlives,” Fusco said.

To purchase a ticket or do-nate, contact the UWS office,at (860) 628-4565; visit the of-fice at Factory Square, 37 W.Center St., Suite 201,Southington; or visit the web-site www.unitedwayof-southington.org.

“When it comes down to it,in the end it’s your relation-ship with family and friendsand people in the communi-ty,” Val said. “That’s the truelegacy for her.”

boy froze to death. It wassomething from which shenever recovered, he said.

When she was older, sheand her future husband —who lived nearby — escapedto a different city where theytried to restart their lives.Raised as a Kurd and Mus-lim, she later learned she wasa Christian Armenian.

Terdjanian’s faith remainsa pivotal part of his life, hesaid, as their faith sustainedthem.

The family stories werepassed on to him as weretheir memories of night-mares. He still remembersthe tears falling from theireyes as they told him whatthey endured.

Somehow they survivedand from their “bad history,”they became remarkableadults with strong values oftrust, integrity and apprecia-tion for life. Though they hadno parents or relatives, theylearned the values of life andbecame giving, generous andloving people, he said.

His grandparents’ struggleremains alive for Terdjanian.“If it wasn’t for my grandpar-ents I wouldn’t be here,” hesaid. “They’re my heroes. Itdoesn’t get better than that.”

The Armenian genocide“affects my entire ancestors,this is dear to my heart, it isimportant so it doesn’t re-peat,” he said.

“Genocides continue. It ismy belief if you don’t bringpeople to justice, they willcontinue to get away with itso future genocides will oc-cur.”

In addition to trying tograsp what his grandparentsendured, Terdjanian is an-gered by ongoing genocide inthe world and the fact the Ar-menian incident — the firstgenocide in the 20th century— has still not been recog-nized by Turkey and othercountries.

The Armenian genocide isnot widely known eventhough some consider it theblueprint for the Jewish holo-

caust. Turkey and the UnitedStates are now allies and theU.S. government does notpress the Turks for officialrecognition or an apology.The relationship betweenTurkey and Armenia is stillstrained.

“The position of the U.S.government is disappoint-ing,” Terdjanian said.

More than 30 countries, in-cluding Iran, have recog-nized the Armenian geno-cide, he said.

Terdjanian and other fami-ly members are now U.S. citi-zens. “We’ve always beengrateful we had the opportu-nity for a new life and call theUnited States home. We livedfreedom and never thoughtwe’d be free.”

Terdjanian said he be-lieves the truth will finallycome out. He urges people tocontact their legislators totake a stand on justice for Ar-menians, set the recordstraight and officially recog-nize the tragedy of nearly 100years ago.

“I’m passionate; I lived it, Iwitnessed it, I saw the tearsin their eyes. That’s where Iget my passion from,” Terd-janian said. “Out of tragedycame life.”

Eggplant LasagnaDid you ever wonder what to do with eggplant, instead

of the old standby, eggplant parmesan. The other day Idecided to make something different. I had eggplant inthe freezer all set dipped in egg and flour, then fried incanola oil. Then I decided to make eggplant lasagna withit. So I layered the eggplant with tomato sauce, then Iadded a layer of ricotta cheese into which I had mixed inone cup of half and half, one egg and grated mozzarellacheese. Then I layered the whole thing with tomato sauceand asiago cheese.

It was delicious. Happy cooking!

Some kind of wonderfulthis year for wrestlers

Middle School Unified Sports

Postseason time for skiers at Mount SouthingtonSnow Views

By Michael Guerrera The Southington Citizen

It was some kind of im-pressive season for Southing-ton wrestling. And it’s noteven over. The Knight fin-ished up the regular year lastweek with a victory over NewBritain, to finish 19-2, unde-feated in the Central Con-

necticut Conference’s Western division,wrapping up its sixth straight conference ti-tle, No. 11 over the last 13 years.

“I think they really overachieved,” saidproud head coach Derek Dion. “If you toldme at the beginning of the season that theseboys were going to go 19-2, I would have saidyou’re crazy, especially with our schedule.”

The schedule includes a rugged group ofopponents in the CCC West, making the con-

ference championship even more gratifying. “That’s one of the goals on the list and we

were happy to meet that goal,” explainedDion.

Not only was last week the final contest ofthe regular season, but it was the Seniorsend-off. The team honored seven guyswrestling on the home mat for the final time– Connor Morrell, Noah Sheffy, Brandon Lar-iviere, Tyler Mirando, Alex Richardson,Mark Jaffer and Don Rinaldi.

“We’re going to miss these guys. It’s a goodbunch of leaders,” Dion said of his lucky sev-en. “They’ve done a great job making it coolto be the good kid. Hopefully their good atti-tudes and work ethic will continue to filterthrough the team for the next few years.”

It was bitter sweet for some of the seniors,who were injured and couldn’t wrestle. Oneof those is Sheffy, who might be out the restof the way after suffering a concussion.

“He’s been really working hard at least totry and get back on the mat,” said Dion ofSheffy. “Hopefully he’s feeling better goingforward. It’s tough to watch as a coach know-ing how hard a kid’s worked, not to be able toparticipate in these big matches; it’s diffi-cult.”

As a captain, though, Sheffy’s spirit hasn’twaivered.

“He’s always positive. He’s a good kid allthe way around. He’s always been a team guy,
