Friday, September 30, 2011 32011 Apple Harvest Festival

Lucy Leach doesn't do itfor the attention, but that'swhat she'll get at the AppleHarvest Parade after beingnamed grand marshal by theApple Harvest SupervisoryCommittee.

"I've done this type ofwork all my life," Leach said."I'm so involved with somuch and I enjoy it and I wasjust overwhelmed to thinkthat I was considered." Leachis so involved, she hasn't evenbothered to keep track of howlong she's been active, though

she estimates she's been vol-unteering for the festivalabout eight or nine years now.Leach volunteers at The Hos-pital of Central Connecticut,Bradley Memorial campus,and is also a member of thehospital's Auxiliary Board,among other endeavors.

At the Apple Harvest,Leach manages and coordi-nates the hundreds of volun-teers who show up and runthe festival and keeps every-thing afloat.

"I enjoy the festival," she

said. "I'm there 24/7 to takecare of my volunteers." Leachsaid she manages about 300volunteers every year, andshe starts gathering namesand phone numbers in Janu-ary and then starts making allthe calls at the end of August.She said she makes about 500or 600 calls.

Chairman of the AppleHarvest Supervisory Com-mittee Chris Palmieri was theone who delivered the newsto Leach about her honoraryposition. He said the commit-

tee wanted to take a differentapproach to selecting thegrand marshal this year, sincea lot of times someone whohas done a lot for the townand community is selected,this year they wanted tochoose someone who hasdone a lot for the festival.

"What makes the festivalas successful as it is, is all thevolunteers that we have," hesaid. "Volunteers that dothings like collect moneyfrom the booths, sell items,and man the beverage booths

and Lucy is the person thatcoordinates all those volun-teers for the two weekends ofthe festival, so she seemed anatural fit." Leach said shewas speechless when Palmieritold her, and she was so over-whelmed she had difficultysleeping that night.

"I was really over-whelmed, honest," she said. "Idon't know what to say, Idon't deserve too much and Iwas surprised I got that, I real-ly mean it, I enjoy doing that[volunteering]." Palmieri saidLeach will be honored at theopening ceremonies of thefestival on the first Friday ofthe festival, and then she willlead off the parade on Sun-day.

"She's been a phenome-nal asset to the festival and wewanted to recognize her forthat," he said.

As much work as shedoes, Leach still remainsmodest. She said during thefestival she does whatever shecan to make everyone happy."If it wasn't for the volun-teers," she said, "I wouldn't bewhere I am."

The Southington Citizen

There will be lots going onat Southington’s 43rd annualApple Har-vest Festi-val, andmany busi-nesses ando r g a n i z a -tions havereserved a booth to callhome for those two week-ends, where many non-profitorganizations hope to sellfood to help raise money.

Of course, one of the mostpopular booths, Zion Luther-an Church’s apple frittersbooth, will be in its usualspot, serving up thousands ofthe festival’s popular apple

treat. Though the treats helpraise money for the church,the Rev. James Debner saidthe fritters are made morebecause of the high demand.

“Not as much as communi-ty responsibility than any-thing,” Debner said. “Be-cause the community ex-pects them to be there.”

Debner wouldn’t sharehow much is raised approxi-mately each year, but he said10 percent of the money goesout to missions, and othermoney goes out to scholar-ships.

“It’s allowed us to be gra-cious and to help people thatwe normally couldn’t help,”he said. “Like we give schol-

Birthday girl pays it forward to YMCA youth

Citizen photo by Robin Lee Michel

Jillian Yuskis, right, presents a check to Donna Ayer,community development director at the Southington-Cheshire YMCA, following the girl’s birthday partywhere guests brought donations rather than presents.

By Robin Lee MichelThe Southington Citizen

When Jillian Yuskis wasplanning her eighth birthdaythis summer, she knew shehad plenty of toys andclothes, more than many chil-dren her age. It got her think-ing that maybe she shouldnot ask for presents but fordonations to give to theS o u t h i n g t o n - C h e s h i r eYMCA.

When she had her birthdayparty with seven friends atthe Connecticut Science Cen-ter in Hartford, her guestswere generous. Earlier thismonth, Jillian presented acheck to Donna Ayer, commu-nity development director ofthe YMCA.

“My family and I spend alot of time at the Y. It’s a funplace with lots to do. I wantedother children to have achance to do those things, es-pecially if they could not af-ford it,” she said.

Jillian said she is active inYMCA programs includingthe swim team and GirlsSports Spectacular at CampSloper.

“They’ve pretty muchgrown up here,” said MaryYuskis, mother, referring toher children.

Ayer said Jillian’s dona-tion could help a child attendcamp next summer. Not

Fundraiser forLabs 4 Rescue

Submitted photo

Calvin Gumprecht is organizing afundraiser for the second year in arow, in memory of his dog who diedlast summer. The fundraiser, fea-turing a car wash, bake sale andgift basket, will be held Saturday,Oct. 1, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., at 8Hamilton Ave., Southington. Pro-ceeds will benefit Labs 4 Rescue, aConnecticut-based Labrador re-triever rescue organization, fromwhich the family got their new dog,Stella, last October. His goal is$1,000.

many children make mone-tary contributions to the Y,Ayer said, and she wasmoved by the gesture.

“I feel happy and goodwhen I can help other peopleand I hope other kids will dothis too and show how good itfeels to help other people,”Jillian said.

Paying it forward seems torun in the family.

Last December, Jillian’syounger sister, Lauren, cele-brated her fifth birthday andasked her friends to bringblankets instead of gifts.Lauren then donated 16 blan-kets and snugglies toSouthington CommunityServices with the request todistribute them to seniorswho needed help keepingwarm during the winter.

“I hope to keep making do-nations for a long time be-cause I like to help other peo-ple,” Jillian said. “My sister,Lauren, and I both want tokeep doing this and we hopeother kids will make dona-tions instead of getting pres-ents at their birthday par-ties.”

Jillian, who is in the third-grade class of Elizabeth Kel-

ly at Walter Derynoski Ele-mentary School, and hermother said maybe a bulletinboard could be established atthe school of generous deedsperformed by children withthe hopes other youngsterswould be inspired.

The girls, including 3-year-old Megan, are the daughtersof John and Mary Yuskis, ofSouthington.

Crowds of seniors came to the Southington SeniorHealth Fair, held at the Calendar House on Wednesdaymorning. The health fair featured free screenings forblood pressure, glucose and cholesterol and also pro-vided information and products.

arships to many of our sen-iors in high school, we givescholarships to members inour nursery school. Thosekind of things we could neverdo because everything is al-ways so tight, that we can dobecause of that.”

Debner said they don’teven keep track of how manyfritters are sold each year, buthe said 4,000 pounds of appleshave come in to be preparedfor the first weekend alone.He said he’s not sure why thefritters, which have been soldat the festival for 42 years, aresuch a hit every year.

“I think some of it has to dowith a kind of change in cul-ture,” Debner said. “You can’tgo out and get a hot doughnutanymore, and these are al-ways served hot and fresh andit’s kind of a novelty by to-day’s standards.”

St. Dominic CatholicSchool has reserved a boothfor more than 20 years, wherethe school has served and soldtheir famous Shenandoahsteak sandwiches and Fritopies. Sue Houle has been help-ing manage the booth forabout eight years now, thoughthe booth has been aroundsince she was young.

“We net profit over $10,000every year and it goes directlyto the Student DevelopmentPlan,” Houle said. “Which ba-sically subsidizes the tuitionof a Catholic school, so we’reable to keep text books cur-rent, focus on technology.”

The steak sandwiches areserved with or without pep-pers and cheddar cheese, andthe Frito pies consist ofFritos covered in homemadechili and topped with cheese,all served in the Fritos bag.

“We ran out of food lastyear,” Houle said of thebooth’s popularity. “Theweather cooperated, our loca-

tion is perfect and this yearwe’re definitely watching theweather and watching thecrowds.”

The Southington RotaryClub will be serving its frenchfries and apple cider slushiesagain, something memberRichard Drouin said has beena tradition for many years. Hesaid everything the boothraises gets donated back tothe community in some way,whether it be to Bread forLife, high school scholar-ships, or another recipient onthe long list.

He said about 20 volunteersstaff the booth that brings inabout $5,-7,000 each year, in-cluding the Southington HighSchool’s Interact Club.

“They are the decidingforce behind getting all thesales,” Drouin said. “All theirfriends go to the fair and seetheir friends behind thebooth and they come up totheir friends, they buy frenchfries, they chat, and we get alot of sales from that.”

the home. When police ar-rived on scene of the home at949 South End Road, theyfound the teenager sufferingfrom a serious gunshotwound, DePalma said.

An ambulance, detectivesand the state police majorcrime unit were all immedi-ately called to the scene. Ozgawas taken to St. Mary’s Hos-pital in Waterbury but dieddue to the gunshot wound, ac-cording to police.

The shooting occurred inthe normally quiet neighbor-

hood at a home near the In-terstate 691 overpass not farfrom the Southington-Cheshire town line. Fewneighbors were home at thetime of the incident. Oneneighbor was concernedabout the police presence andkept her children indoors un-til she could find out whathappened.

DePalma said names of theparties involved are not be-ing released until familymembers can be notified. Thehome is owned by EdwardOzga Jr. and Robin Ozga, ac-cording to the geographicalinformation system on thetown website.

DePalma said the investi-gation into the circum-stances of the shooting re-main ongoing.

GOING AT BREAKNECK SPEEDDespite claims to the contrary, helmets protect motorcyclists from cervicalspine injuries in collisions. That is the finding from an analysis of a nationwidedatabase that found the frequency of cervical spine injury to be significantlyhigher among non-helmeted bikers than helmeted motorcyclists (5.4% versus3.5%). Moreover, the study pointed out that wearing a helmet was linked witha 22% reduction in the odds of injury to the cervical spine. Opponents ofmandatory helmet laws argue that helmet use increases the likelihood ofcervical spine injuries due to their weight, which causes an increase in thetorque of the neck during collisions. The new study seems to disprove thisclaim. Chiropractors generally favor anything that preserves spine health.Accidents, falls, stress, tension, overexertion, and countless other factors canresult in displacements or derangements of the spinal column, causingmalfunctions in the human body. Please call (860) 621-2225 for anappointment. Visit us at 200 Queen St. Chiropractic can be of enormousbenefit in treating and rehabilitating your injury. Most insurance is accepted.

P.S. According to the study mentioned above, wearing ahelmet reduced the odds of traumatic brain injury by 65%among motorcyclists in collisions and decreased their oddsof dying by 37%.

Wait a minute, church?Well, as you may know manyawait the annual event of aspecial gathering of animalson the grounds of St. Do-minic Church in Southing-ton. They’re simply com-memorating the loving mem-ory of the gentle place in his-

tory of the great Francis ofAssisi and his love for allcreatures.

Born Giovanni Francescodi Bernardone, c. 1181/1182,Francis was an ItalianCatholic friar and preacherwho founded the FranciscanOrder, the women’s Order ofSt. Clear and the lay ThirdOrder of St. Francis and re-mains today one of the mostvenerated religious figuresin human history. His specialday on the church calendar iscelebrated on Oct. 4.

Francis loved the larks fly-ing about in his hilltop townin northern Italy. As legendtells it, he and his brothers,once allowed themselves tobe displaced by an ailing don-key in their small hovel ofliving space.

Books reapbenefits

To the editor:The American Legion

Auxiliary would like tothank the community onceagain for their dedication toyet another one of our proj-ects. And that is our “Got

Books” container placed inthe YMCA’s back parking lot[on High Street]. The YMCAdeserves a heap of thanksand appreciation for allow-ing us to place it there in thefirst place.

In the two years it hasbeen there, our organizationhas donated 100 percent ofall monies raised towards lit-eracy programs in our town,$1,000 to our Southington Li-brary for a summer readingprogram and $500 each toKelley and Plantsville Ele-mentary Schools for theirschool libraries. Up next onour agenda is to find a spe-cial program for the YMCA.

As you can see yourused/old books have turnedto “found money” that getsrecycled just like the books.

Keep up the great work,Southington, in supporting

our causes, because ourcauses are for our childrenand community. And remem-ber there is only one “GotBooks” dumpster that be-longs to the American Le-gion Auxiliary and that is inthe back parking lot of theYMCA.

Hey, anyone notice itfloods bad at the bottom ofMill, with steady rain, noproblem.

Why don’t you guys buildin your own areas where youlive? You try to put every-thing on this side of town.Maybe you can build condosin my backyard, near mydeck and tell me there won’tbe any problems. Traffic,they can just drive into mykitchen, out the front door,and into the street. No prob-lem.

We, the taxpayers, knowwhat’s going on. So don’t tellus there won’t be problems,

there will be a lot. Take yourbuilding plans to your ownbackyards, leave this areaalone for once.

Differs withmerge proposal

To the editor:Responding to Patrick

Turek’s Sept. 23 op-ed piecein support of the AT&T/T-Mobile merger for the rea-son of improved Internet ac-cess to rural towns is a lotlike responding to a child’sadmonition that their recentspeeding ticket was a resultof strict usage rules that putthem at the wrong place atthe wrong time. Quite sim-ply, neither has anything todo with the other.

If, as Mr. Turek states,there is a void in service(broadband coverage), whatempirical evidence is therethat the merger of compa-nies will improve that void?None, I submit.

History is usually a goodguide. Looking back at thelast 10 or 12 mega mergersand you will find a checkeredhistory that hasn’t oftenbeen at the best interest ofits consumers. Consider thePfizer/War ner-Lamber tmerger. Does anyone thinkthe rising cost of prescrip-tion drugs has slowed? Whatabout Exxon/Mobil? Cost ofpetrol going down? Proctor& Gamble/Gillette, where

over 6,000 jobs were lost; Citi-Corp/Travelers? NationsBank/Bank of America? J.P.Morgan Chase/Bank OneCorp.? And even in the com-munications industry, doesanyone think the AT&TBroadband/Comcast orGTE/Bell Atlantic orAT&T/Bell Atlantic mergershave improved cost or serv-ice? I’m guessing there won’tbe many hands raised.

Getting at the heart of Mr.

Turek’s argument that im-proved broadband coverageis needed, why isn’t this oneof the few areas where gov-ernmental intrusion shouldbe expected? The mechanicsof how this might be handledcould differ, but I’m envision-ing government regulatorsgetting the different compet-ing companies in one roomand telling them that theyhave 90 days to work out com-patible technologies provid-ing even broadband coverage— or stand to lose their li-censes. If that pressure does-

n’t work for you, substituteyour own.

But less competition, larg-er (too big to fail) corporateentities, assured loss of jobsand rising rates to the cus-tomers who have less choice... more rational mindsshould think not. This is amerger that should not gothrough. It is a merger thatwill benefit those other thanwho are served by the freemarket — as long as we stillhave one.

“The fact that we’re outhere, people are apprecia-tive,” Jalowiec said.

Over at the SouthingtonCare Center table, BioDexmachines were set up to testbalance, which drew a bit of acrowd. Two machines wereset up, one had a round plat-form that literally had partic-ipants perform somewhat of

a balancing act when theystepped on as it movedaround according to whichway their body weight shift-ed. The other was a station-ary platform that measuredthe distribution of bodyweight while standing on it.

“It’s terrific, it reallyshows,” Maureen Platt saidabout the test when shestepped off the machine.

Member of the Southing-ton Senior Citizens Commis-sion Sandra Micalizzi waspresent at the Heart Center ofGreater Waterbury’s table,where she works. She saidthe Calendar House is a greatplace that people come to and

the health fair is a great wayfor people to stay in the loopabout health issues. She saidone of the important thingsabout staying healthy is pre-vention, and that her table of-fered glucose screenings fordiabetes.

“Not wait ’til you haveheart disease, not wait ’tilyou have diabetes, not wait’til you have high blood pres-sure,” she said. “Really justgetting things tested, becausewe can do a lot of things,changing diet, exercising, toreally make a difference.”

Jeff Driscoll said he camedown to the fair to see what itwas all about, and that he pe-rused through just aboutevery table, but the Medicarewas what captured his atten-tion.

“Picked up a couplebrochures on Medicare,” hesaid. “Couple more years I’llbe eligible for Medicare, so Iwant to know about it sowhen the time comes to signup, I know what I’m doing.”

Runners on course to peak by season’s end

Just for kicks: Hammell’s firstever field goal leads to victory

Never too late: Gritty guysscore conference win late

By Michael GuerreraThe Southington Citizen

Cross country is a sport sop r e c i s e l ybased on as t r a t e g i cr o u t i n e .

There are ways to go aboutcertain things so a team isfaster at a specific point inthe season.

For both Southingtonteams, right now is the timeto work. The goal lies at theend of the season.

“We had a 10-day break be-cause of our bye-Tuesdaylast week, which meant wecould train,” said head coachRich Niro. “When you cantrain, it’s pretty difficult torace well. It’s what you’re ex-pecting. We look like an ear-ly-season team.”

That’s why when both thegirls and boys looked slightlyflat in a meet against Conardand Northwest Catholic thisweek, following a run at theStratton Brook Invitationalthe weekend before, he wasstill positive.

“These other teams are inmid-season form, we’re inearly season form,” ex-plained Niro. “That’s OK be-cause I think at the end of theseason, when we’re healthyand we get to a course likeWickham Park (in Manches-

ter) that really plays into thetraining we do, we’re goingto be ready and some of theseteams are going to be past

their peak. They’ll be tiringout and I think we’ll be clos-ing on them.”

On the guys side of things,

Kyle Hamel continues to runabove and beyond in his sen-ior year. Niro said he couldsee this coming the previousyears, but he was hidden be-hind some other spectacularrunners. This year he hascome into his own and willlikely be a state open con-tender.

Hamel finished in secondoverall Tuesday, losing justbarely to a Conard runner,but Niro said the course dic-tated the finish. Further say-ing that if it was less of atrack course, like the one atCamp Sloper, and more of ahill course, “I’d put a consid-erable amount of money onHamel.”

And that’s what led Niro tobelieve that by CCC Champi-onship time, Southingtonmight have usurped Conard.

“I’m not going to say

Dave Yanoy loves win-ning. Con-s i s t e n t l yafter victo-ry for hisSouthing-

ton boys soccer team he’llsay, ‘Man, I love winning.’But he understands the re-ality of playing soccer inthe CCC West, ‘pound-for-pound’ the toughest soccerconference in the state.

So when the team trav-eled to Farmington lastFriday in the rain and tookon the defending statechamp, he understandsthat a game like the 3-0 lossthey suffered, is going tohappen.

But prior to that game

was a home contest againstNorthwest Catholic, amatch-up that critical tothe dynamic of a season.

So with under 10 min-utes to play, things lookedanything but rosey.

“You can’t sugarcoat it –it wasn’t get a great start tothe half for us and it culmi-nated in them scoring a re-ally good goal,” Yanosysaid.

But then Jared DeFeogot out on the break andscored the equalizer beforea beautiful ball from SteveDePonte to Steve Boying-ton in the second and finalovertime period sealed thecome from behind win.

“I knew it was going to be adefensive battle, so I knew Iwas going to get my shoteventually,” said Hammell,who grew up playing soccerand didn’t play football untilcoming out this year. “Com-ing in, I was very nervous. Itwas my first field goal. I waslike, ‘I gotta get this.’”

Hammell got it with plentyto spare, and after Southing-ton made two more defensivestands, culminating with jun-ior cornerback JaredDeGumbia’s game-ending in-terception, the Blue Knightshad victory in a CCC Divi-sion I West contest filled withswarming defense and frus-trated offense.

This should give you agood idea: Just before Ham-mell’s field goal, DeGumbia’scornerbacking partner, sen-ior Brian Kaminsky, pickedoff a pass at midfield and re-turned it to the New Britain 4– and Southington could notget in.

“Things like this happen,”said Southington coach MikeDrury, his team now 2-0 over-all. “If one side of the ball is

FootballSHS 3, New Britain 0Sean Hammell kicked the game-winning 24-yard field

goal late in the fourth quarter as Southington came awaywith a win to improve to 2-0 both overall and in CCC WestDivision I. Defensively, the Knights forced three turnovers,two interceptions, from Brian Kaminsky and JaredDeGumbia, and a fumble recovery from Corbin Garry asthe Knights were +3 in the turnover battle. The leadingtacklers were Andrew Walowski and Kaminsky, both withseven. Johnny Gradante had the only sack. Offensively, itwas a quiet day. Quarterback Stephen Barmore passed 7-for-19 for 60 yards and Jarrid Grimmett ran 15 times for 34yards. Barmore added 15 yards on eight carries. Walowskicaught four passes for 24 yards and Kaminsky had twograbs for 39 yards.

trying to make things hap-pen and having a tough go atit, the other side’s got to stepup. We did that last year foreach other and this teamknows that.”

Saturday’s slogfest was areplay of the 2008 Southing-ton-New Britain game atRentschler Field. That 3-0game, however, went New

Britain’s way.In the 2011 edition,

Southington’s D took a fewseries to get a read on themisdirection option offensefirst-year coach TebuckyJones has installed in NewBritain. The Blue Knightsbent some, giving up 198yards, but invariably madethe key play, especially in the

second half, when theyforced turnovers on all butone of New Britain’s five pos-sessions.

Safety Corbin Garry andlinebacker Dave DiNeno hadfumble recoveries in thethird quarter prior toKaminsky and DeGumbia’spicks in the fourth.

So, for a second straightweek, New Britain’s offensewas derailed by fourturnovers and wound upwith 0 points on the score-board in falling to 0-2.

“They’ve got the will towin,” said Jones, the formerNew Britain star and NFLplayer. “The defense playedvery well the first game and Ithink they played better thisgame. Even the offense, theymade up a lot from last week.But we’ve got to take care ofthe ball.”

The Blue Knights did that.They didn’t have anyturnovers. But they gainedlittle traction on the ground(27 carries, 37 yards) andsophomore quarterbackStephen Barmore (7-for-19, 60yards) struggled with a slickball. That’s less than 100yards from scrimmage.

“It was hard to throw theball, hard to run the ball,”said DeGumbia, a wide re-ceiver on offense.

The Blue Knights had

their chances. They droveinto the red zone just beforehalf only to stall and turn itover on downs.

They started five posses-sions in New Britain territo-ry, including at the 40 afterMatt O’Connor returned theopening kickoff 45 yards andat the 29 following DiNeno’sfumble recovery. A bad snapon the latter possession tookSouthington from the 12-yard line back to the 30.

Kaminsky appeared tohave the shutout snappedwhen he stepped in front of aLarry Garcia pass at theNew Britain 45 and had anopen sideline before him.The New Britain pursuitclosed and, inside the 10,Kaminsky made an insidecut he wished he could takeback – until, from out of hishold, Hammell hammeredhome the 3-pointer.

“Second week in a row Idecided to cut back insteadof running straight. Some-body told me ‘cut,’ so I said,‘OK, I’ll cut.’ Then a kid hitme,” Kaminsky recounted.“I’m just glad we scored. Wehad Hammell finish it offwith a kick. It was exciting.”

There were still six min-utes to play after Hammell’skick and the Hurricanes had

Their defense, with the aidof time outs, got the ball backall of 27 seconds later, andthat drive showed promisedas Garcia threw for a firstdown and ran for two.

“I thought we were goingto march it down and score,”

said Jones.A personal foul on the

Blue Knights gave NewBritain a first down at theSouthington 28 with 28 sec-onds to go. Garcia went uptop with a fade ball towardthe end zone. DeGumbia, insingle coverage, came downwith it.

“Saw the ball in the air,just watched it into myhands the whole time, fell onthe ground and got up,” hesaid. “I’ve never been happi-

er in my life.”Drury, despite the strug-

gles on offense, could walkoff the field happy as well.

“We’re fighters; we’re notgoing to give up,” said thefirst-year head coach. “We’renever going to give up. That’swhat this game tells me.”

thing that we’ve kind ofstarted using as a saying,”Yanosy explained.

“Northwest Catholic isvery good – the league is verygood – but this is the type ofgame, especially at home,that we’re going to have towin if we’re going to have asuccessful season so I cer-tainly couldn’t be more proudof the comeback and the ef-fort that the boys put forth,especially in the last 10 min-utes and in overtime.”

The week begin with an-other tough loss, that againstConard, 5-0, which addedeven more emphasis toWednesday.

“Monday was rough,” re-counted Yanosy. “Conard’svery good and they took it tous. Today was extremely im-portant in terms of bouncingback and responding to ad-versity.”

And after the win, lookingforward at looming Farming-ton, he knew it would havebeen devastating to have a 0-3week.

“The league doesn’t getany easier so we thought to-day was extremely importantto get the win and I’m gladthat we did,” said Yanosy af-ter the 2-1 win.

One positive trend throughthe first couple of weeks of

games is the team’s ability towin in over time. Last year’steam registered a number ofties, but coming into theweek, the Knights were 2-for-2 in overtime chances.

“Last year’s team was verysimilar in the way that theybattled, but six ties. The twoopportunities that we’ve hadin overtime, we’ve come outon top, so certainly very

pleasing to be able to finishoff these games in overtime,”Yanosy explained.

Meanwhile, the guys havebeen doing this without somekey contributors. Kyle Con-nolly as been out on defensewith a broken arm, forcingsome realignment. And witha young team, it’s been a fewkey guys, including all-CCCgoalie Bill Queen, steppingup.

“Bill’s been absolutely phe-nomenal,” said the headcoach. “We’ve gotten somegreat leadership out of SteveDePonte, especially losingKyle Connolly for a whilewith the broken wrist, he’sbeen extremely importantback there in terms of keep-ing things organized.

Girls in pool show ability early onBy Sarah Gomes

Special to The Citizen

The Southington girlsswimming anddiving teamdrew to an 85-85 stalemateagainst visit-

ing E.O. Smith last Friday,but on the heels of losingstar swimmer MelanieMongillo to illness, however,these Knights didn’t let thatget in the way of battling to awell-earned result.

“Our girls fought and theyfought hard,” head coachEvan Tuttle said. “We fin-ished with a very, very re-spectable tie considering thechallenges we faced today.”

Mongillo wasn’t the onlyone directly impacted by thesickness.

“We got hit with the sick-ness bug and that kills you,but there’s nothing you cando about it,” Tuttle said.“Mel was a big loss today asour fastest girl on the team,our sprinter, but our girlsstepped into spots wherethey normally wouldn’t haveswam and they swam up toand beyond my expecta-tions.”

These expectations wereseen in Sarah Krzesik as shejumped into a new event for

the Knights on this day.“Huge performance today

from Sarah, taking her out ofthe backstroke and puttingher in the 50-free,” Tuttlesaid. “Consecutive swims inthe 50-free and the 100-fly, shestepped up big time.”

Another significant partof this tie came in the formof Haley Marquardt’s per-formance in the 100-free.

“Haley stepped up big inthe 100-free, filling in forMelanie,” Tuttle said; “tookher out of the 500-free.”

This 500-free spot wasfilled by Jenny Drozd.

“Jenny swam a heck of a500-freestyle today,” Tuttlesaid after the E.O. Smithmeet. “Just up and down thelineup I had to fill in somegirls where they wouldn’tnormally be swimming toput together the best possiblelineup today.”

Krzesik, Marquardt,Drozd, Mongillo and sopho-more Laurel Dean will be in-tricate to filling the holes asthey appear throughout theseason. They showed theycan handle it in an openingday win over Bristol Eastern.

“They’re going to be onesthat we lean on in the meets,”Tuttle said, referring to theabove swimmers. “They’regoing to fill that role every

United Way of Southington engagesvolunteers to mentor youth

The United Way of Southington is par-ticipating in a nationwide United Waydrive to engage 1,000,000 volunteers tomentor youth during the next three years.At the end of the school year, volunteers,board members and staff went to local ele-mentary schools as guest readers.

Lincoln College, Community MentalHealth Affiliates and Target also volun-teered readers. The goal of the Day of Ac-tion was to help improve the academic suc-cess of young people, a goal that UWS hasbeen behind for years.

Guest readers spent about a half-hour atthe schools. Superintendent of SchoolsJoseph V. Erardi Jr. said, “Our schools and

our students are excited to partner withUnited Way. This United Way venture is anenormous win-win for all involved ...Thanks to [UWS Executive Director] CarolReilly for making this happen.”

“There is just nothing more importantthan reading with our youth when youthink about it. Almost everything youlearn, you are reading about it. And, thisevent goes so well with our unofficialtrademark, ‘We are Southington peoplehelping Southington people,’” Reilly said.

To donate to UWS, mail a check to P.O.Box 546, Southington, CT 06489.
