Kickin’ it pool-style

TAMMI KNAPIK

Bryce Harris uses a kickboard during his swim lessons at Page Park last Wednesday.

Four years ago, BrianWalsh walked away fromthe corporate world.

“In a way, I really hadno choice,” Walsh said. “Iwas dying in the corporateworld.”

Originally from WhitePlains, NY, the 58-year-oldWalsh has called Bristolhome for the past 23 years.His corporate life has taken

him to stops in Nashville,TN and New York City whileworking for Fortune 500companies such as FordMotors, AT&T, and ESPN.But that life was never onethat Walsh wanted to lead.

“I never wanted to bestuck in the corporateworld. I always wanted myfeet to be free and danc-ing,” Walsh said.

So, Walsh left thatworld behind in pursuit of

his own enterprisingdreams. The now compos-er, poet, author Walsh ishoping to inspire others tofind the dream within theirheart and follow it with hissecond book, “Years ofEncouragement.”

The book is describedas a daily guide for a happyand productive life. Forevery day in the year, thebook provides readers athought for the day steeped

in Eastern philosophydesigned to empower thereader to, as Walsh put it,“BYOB” or “be your ownboss.”

“It is a timely piece ofliterature loaded with com-mons sense and wisdomthat sings off of each pageencouraging readers to aimhigh and keep going nomatter what,” Walsh said.

Enticing businesses tomove into the city is nothingnew. But, over the past yearor so, city officials have hadtheir eye on attracting a newkind of business, the greenkind.

“Needless to say, we’reembracing the concept ofgoing green,” said Mayor ArtWard.

“Green” industry com-monly refers to environ-mentally friendly business-es. The industry covers alarge spectrum, from busi-nesses that simply recycle,to those researching newalternative technologies, tocompanies that manufac-turer more environmental-ly-friendly products.

Over the past year andhalf the city has had severalinquiries from green manu-facturers looking to locate inthe city, Ward said.

“At this stage of the

game it’s investigatory,”Ward said. “We’re trying toencourage companies ingreen development to pur-sue Bristol as a potentiallocation.”

The city is in active dis-cussions with two suchgreen manufacturers in abid to lure them to the city,said Jonathan Rosenthal,executive director of theBristol DevelopmentAuthority.

Rosenthal didn’t pro-vide details as to who thecompanies were, becausethe city is still just in discus-sions. He would only say thecompanies are both manu-facturers. One is in the fieldof power generation, hesaid, and the other is in thefield of building high effi-ciency engines.

The Bristol FarmersMarket has returned for the2009 season.

Tucked into the cornerof the former Bristol CentreMall parking lot whereRiverside Avenue and NorthMain Street meet, localfarmers stood behind theirstands, July 8, ushering inthe market’s new season.

The market runsthough October and is openWednesdays from 3 to 6p.m. and Saturdays from 10a.m. to 1 p.m.

The recent steady rain-fall has done little to damp-en the market’s openingday. Tomatoes and cucum-bers grown indoors atTonn’s Orchard inBurlington filled theorchard’s booth along sidelettuce, squash, broccoliand zucchini.

While, across the wayfrom the orchard’s booth,New Hartford’s GresczykFarms’ trademark hydro-

ponic lettuce was sellingnext to the farm’s own toma-toes.

A steady crowd madeits way through the marketas the recent cloudy skiesgave way to sunshine. ForPaul Seltzer of GresczykFarms, it’s easy to under-stand the attraction behindfarmers markets.

“I think people like thatit’s fresh and local,” Seltzersaid about the produce.

Seltzer added that the

market offers an opportuni-ty for a family outing as well.

The market has muchto offer for visitors, but italso allows local farms to getout, sell their produce, andshow their own support fortheir community.

“We like to support ourcommunity that best thatwe can,” said LindaBeaudoin of Tonn’s Orchard.

A cornucopia of freshvegetables have alreadyfound their way to the mar-ket. But, the best may be yetto come. Peaches andapples from Tonn’s Orchardwill be making their way tothe market this summer,and the ever popular sweetcorn is expected to hitstands sooner rather thanlater.

“People go nuts forsweet corn,” said Seltzer.

Almost on cue, BillMatthews of Hartfordwalked over to Seltzer andasked “When’s the sweetcorn going to be ready?”

Matthews, who works

in Bristol, said he enjoys themarket because it’s conven-ient and a cost-savings.Plus, he said, he’s neverbeen disappointed withwhat he buys.

“I came last year a cou-ple times and I’ve alwaysbeen pleased,” Matthewssaid.

While many of the mar-kets old favorites are alreadyavailable, with more on theway, this year’s marketoffers a few new items aswell.

Beaudoin is selling yarn

and other goods made fromher family’s pet Alpacas fur,along with some home-made bracelets. The marketis also welcoming a new-comer this year.

Blue Moon Farm out ofHarwinton has joined themarket and brought alongsome beef.

Blue Moon Farm is afamily farm that raises beefcattle, explained KatieMurdock. She said, the fam-ily decided to get involvedin the farmers market thisyear for another way to sell

their meats. Blue Moon Farm will be

at the city’s market only onWednesdays.

The cattle, Murdocksaid, are raised only on grassand grains for natural beefthat is hormone-free. Thecattle are slaughtered andprocessed locally, she said,leaving the family with cool-ers of beef from hamburgerpatties to steaks freezewrapped and ready for sale.

“Everything from a beefanimal,” said Murdock

Two teenage girlsreported to police that alone man made sexual andthreatening advancestowards them as they werewalking in the Vance Roadarea.

Police said at about 2:40p.m. July 10, the girls, ages14 and 17, were walkingwhen the came across aman riding his bike in theintersection of Vance Roadand Vance Drive. The manmade sexual comments tothe girls, police said.

Police said the girlswalked away from the manto the Bristol Plaza area. As

the girls returned, they onceagain came across the sameman who was still riding hisbike in the intersection. Theman made sexual com-ments to the girls again,then got off his bike andgrabbed the 17-year-old girlby the arm, police said.

The girl pulled her armaway, and the two girls wenthome and called police,police said. A search of thearea yielded no suspects,police said.

The suspect wasdescribed as a white male inhis early 20s with a beard,wearing tan baggy cargoshorts and an orange or redbaseball hat.

As of press time, the

investigation remainedupon. Anyone with infor-mation regarding this inci-dent can contact the BristolPolice Department at (860)584-3000.

At the request of thepolice department, city offi-cials are currently rework-ing a city ordinance to givepolice a better handle onthe pawnbroker and junkdealing business in the city.

The proposed changesto the ordinance would addto the chief of police’s powerwhen it comes to junk deal-ers and pawnbrokers. Theproposed amendmentswould give the chief thepower to require criminalbackground checks on any-one applying for a license asa junk dealer or a pawnbro-ker. Additionally, the chiefwould be able to deny alicense for anyone convict-ed of a felony or “any crime

involving violence, dishon-esty, deceit or indecency.”

The proposed changesalso would require policereceive the names of everyemployee involved in sales.Also, the employees will besubject to the same back-ground checks as thoseapplying for a license. Anyemployee convicted of afelony or “any crime involv-ing violence, dishonesty,deceit or indecency” wouldnot be allowed to sell anygoods.

The proposed amend-ments also would addrequirements to the mannerin which items bought arereported to the policedepartment

Every item taken by apawnbroker or junk dealer

will have to be reported indetail to police in writtenand electronic form. Theinformation would be sub-mitted weekly, or daily ifdeemed necessary by thepolice chief. Any itembought from someone thatis not expected to be soldback to the seller mustremain in the store for atleast 10 days under the pro-posal.

City Councilor CraigMinor, who chairs the ordi-nance committee,explained the committeebegan making changes tothe law after the policedepartment made a request.

Det. Sgt. Tom Calvelloof the Bristol PoliceDepartment’s DetectiveDivision said the amend-

ments aren’t a response toany specific activities withinthe city’s three pawn shops.Rather, he said, the pro-posed changes came aboutafter a review of the depart-ment’s policies and proce-dures.

Calvello, who initiatedthe proposed changes, saidthe amendments are anattempt by the policedepartment to be able tobetter monitor criminalactivity in the city.

“The pawn shop indus-try has been regulated overthe years through state

statutes and we we’re look-ing to have some of thoseregulations locally,” Calvellosaid.

Aside from allowing forbackground checks, andchanges to the way itemsare reported, the proposedamendments also give thechief of police the power torevoke for 10 days thelicense of any businessfound in violation of thelaws.

Minor explained thecurrent law only gives thechief the power to revoke alicense indefinitely. Minor

said, since the only punish-ment available was sosevere, and allowed no mid-dle ground, it wasn’t usedoften and proved to be inef-fective.

A $90 fine per day foreach violation of the ordi-nance also was among theproposed changes.

A public hearing on theproposed changes is expect-ed to be held before thecommittee’s July meeting.

Walsh brings to the book,which was written betweenAugust and December oflast year, over 30 years ofEastern studies and practic-ing Eastern philosophy. Toprepare for the book, Walshsaid he mediated every dayfor two years in order to beprecise in his writings.

The book is designed tobe a map to lead people tohappiness and success, butWalsh emphasized theimportance of a giving more

to the community ratherthan taking or “value cre-ation” on the path to follow-ing a dream.

“The answers lie incommunity,” Walsh said.“We have to find ways thatwe can empower andengage our world in the bestway that we can.”

op as “start-up technolo-gies” that can be complexto get off the ground. Hesaid the city is discussinghow it can help the compa-nies, in the hopes of gettingthem off the ground andrunning here in the city.

These companies,Rosenthal said, would havethe capability of providingjobs— high-paying ones, atthat— in the city.

“All jobs are good,”Rosenthal said. “These areareas of expansion oppor-tunities.”

The city isn’t the onlyone with their eye on thegreen industry.

Michael Nicastro,president of the CentralConnecticut Chamber ofCommerce, said the greenindustry is garnering a lotof interest from investorswho are raising capital toget behind such compa-nies.

Nicastro addedPresident Barack Obama’sadministration has alsomade going green a focusas well.

All the signs point tothe green industry as agrowth industry saidNicastro, and the cityneeds to aggressively pur-sue such businesses.

“The fact is this isgoing to be a growth area,

and if that’s where invest-ment’s going to go that’swhat we should be chas-ing,” Nicastro said.

Cities, politicians andinvestors may all be push-ing and striving for greenindustries, but one stateeconomist felt that goinggreen won’t make sense,from an economic stand-point, until the market saysso.

“Market signals reallydirect when an industrymakes sense,” said StevenLanza, executive editor ofThe Connecticut EconomyMagazine and economyprofessor at the Universityof Connecticut.

Lanza said people andbusinesses are rational andare going to look at the bot-tom line when it comes tocomparing the cost ofalternative technologies

versus traditional methods. If extracting raw mate-

rials is cheaper than usingrecycled ones for instance,Lanza said, the market isgoing to direct people tothe raw materials.

When the green indus-try will truly take hold is amatter of incentives, Lanzafelt. As an example, he said,when a barrel of oil costs$60 there’s not muchincentive for alternativeenergy or technologies.But, he added, it’s a differ-ent situation when thatsame barrel of oil jumps to$150.

But Lanza felt it’s notenough just to have a spikein the market, it’s going totake sustained changes inthe market to single theright time to go green.

As the world depletesits natural resources andchanges within the marketare sustained, Lanza felt,the market will send thesignals to move towardsalternatives. Eventually thesignals will come, he said.But, when that eventualitywill come was a time Lanzacould not put his finger on.

“All this stuff takestime and it’s not going tohappen over night,” Lanzasaid.


Green: City looking at new industryFrom page 1

Despite having a $102.3million school budgetapproved, Superintendentof Schools Philip Streifer hasinstructed principals todraw up plans for a 3 per-cent to 5 percent reductionin their staff.

Those plans, Streiferexplained during the Boardof Education’s July 8 meet-ing, are back-up plans justin case the state decides toreduce education funding.

The school budgetassumes the city will receivethe same amount of educa-tion funding from the stateit did last year. But, as ofpress time, state lawmakershad yet to agree upon a

budget, and neither theGovernor nor stateDemocrats had commentedpublicly on the ongoingbudget negotiations.

“I actually don’t thinkit’s going to happen,”Streifer said about the statecutting education funding.

But, Streifer said, hewants to be prepared in casecuts do happen.

Streifer spoke on theplan after board memberChris Wilson questionedwhat, if any, impact the statebudget impasse is having onthe school district.

“The city holds the keyto the answer of your ques-tion,” Streifer responded.

Streifer said the board isoperating on known funds

from the city, while the cityis operating on expectedfunds from the state.

“The real $64,000 ques-tion is what happens if thestate doesn’t give the city allthe aid it’s expecting,”Streifer said.

Mayor Art Ward said thecity is in abeyance until thestate decides on its budget,and is monitoring expenseson a day-to-day basis.

“As with anything with-in the city,” Ward said inresponse to the possibilityof cuts in state educationfunding, “we’re all depend-ent on knowing where thestate is going.”

Given the number of abandoned or converted train stationsfound in the towns across Connecticut (including the one thatstands in Forestville), it is clear—even if your memories don’textend that far back— that trains once ruled the roost in theNutmeg State as a mode of transportation.

But, in time, as Connecticut became more suburbanized,and the automobile grew in popularity as the primary form ofgetting from here to there, trains lost their allure… and beganlosing tons of cash. In time, except for freight trains, the railsbecame but a memory in this part of the state.

Trains, though, are once again in the hearts and minds of ourlegislative and business leaders. And the regular residents aretaking notice of trains as energy prices and a tough economymake the railroad more economically attractive.

Down in New London, for instance, residents are petitioningthe state to extend the Shoreline East their direction so theycould go as far as Grand Central station and points beyond. Uphere in Bristol, our leaders envision a train station in a revitalizeddowntown that would take commuters eventually into New York,as well as other points in the state.

Trains, once passé, are becoming trendy.That said, trains are not on the horizon for tomorrow, not

next year, and probably not for a couple of years.The years of ignoring the rails for passenger use means, first

of all, there are no trains available for providing service from, sayWaterbury to Bristol. There would have to be some major capitalexpenditures to resolve this. Secondly, the infrastructure is notthere. The tracks that run in this part of the state are fine forfreight. But for passenger use, they would rattle the denturesstraight out of grandpa’s mouth. Again, the state would have tocough up tons of cash to resolve this.

The time lag is where we see a problem with rail service inthis part of the state. The support of businesses and legislatorsfor rail aside, consumers would need to take trains to heart tomake them a success. There would need to be more than a hand-ful of passengers each morning riding in from Bristol, beyond theinitial novelty period, to make the effort economically viable.

Right now, as people look for transportation alternatives, thetrains would do well. But wait a couple of years; would con-sumers this far north in Connecticut still be that interested intrains? Will we have dropped down buckets of cash to install raillines and buy more trains only to see them sit idle because thetrendy allure of trains has passed the way of Beanie Babies andHilary Duff?

The other question is, beyond going to New York City fromBristol, would the trains be of any use to say, going shopping inother communities along its path in Connecticut. If you go toNew York City, there are buses, subways, and taxis to take youfrom place to place if you don’t have your car. Connecticut citiesand suburbs don’t have that. So, say you take the train fromBristol and land in Waterbury. You have to hoof it from the trainstation to do any shopping or get to work. Taxis are a solution butan expensive one. The cheapest resolution for the average con-sumer is a shuttle system of buses. That’s another expense thestate will have to take on for a train venture to be a success.

We’re not saying railroads would not find success beyond theshoreline corridor of Connecticut. But, establishing it as part ofour daily routine is a much more extensive process than saying,“You know what we need, we need more trains.”

We want them now,but will we stay on track?

I knew something was wrongwhen the VW Fox, our toy car, pulledup to the curb, and someone, atleast not the 20-year-old, jumpedout of the driver seat, ran to anothercar that was waiting for him, anddrove off.

I took a deep breath because Iknew that over the summer alreadytwo of the 20-year-old’s buddieshurt themselves playing ultimateFrisbee.

Ultimate Frisbee is a crossbetween American football and soc-cer, only a Frisbee is used ratherthan a ball.

It is played without pads andoftentimes without shoes.

The 20-year-old likes to playbarefoot.

The injuries from ultimateFrisbee were bad enough to result insurgeries—one on an ankle and theother on a knee, and were recalledwith ugly pops and terrible twistsincluded.

Thinking back to the injuries, Icaught my breath and waited.Shortly, the passenger side doorswung slowly open. Slowly, the 20-year-old emerged, hopped out, liter-ally, one foot from the curb to therailing up the front steps.

I ran down to meet him.He held the black railing and

handed me his backpack.“What happened?”“My knee.”“You can’t extend it, can you?”“No.”“It’s locked. Sounds like carti-

lage. The meniscus.”“What does that mean?”“Surgery.”“Oy.”“It should be okay.”“Right,” he said.“Stupid ultimate Frisbee.”“Basketball,” he said.

“Basketball. It happened while I wasgoing for a loose ball at the sametime as another kid.”

“Stupid kid.”“It was nobody’s fault.”“Stupid ball.”“It was an accident.”“Okay, okay.”“If it was anyone’s fault,” he

said, “it was her fault.”Her, in this case, was the 22-

year-old because she told him towatch out, “These things happen inthrees.”

“‘What are you talking about?’ Iasked her,” he said.

“That’s what Nana always said,”she told him.

I called a friend who is a doctorand asked him for a recommenda-tion.

The 20-year-old was in the nextday, and in surgery that Friday.

This all occurred in the sameweek, which for me seemed like amiracle.

The injury turned out to be themeniscus: that meant six weeks oncrutches and no weight on theinjured leg.

Of course, he is bummed. It issummer. Who wouldn’t be?

But there’s been some good thathas come of this.

On most nights, he is home,and we get to hang out.

We watched “Iron Man” theother night.

The 17-year-old was there withus, and the 22-year-old was in andout of her room.

We had sodas and SmartFoodand Sweetened Kettle Corn andPirates’ Booty.

One of the coolest things tocome out of this, though, is the DVDof the operation.

When he was going into sur-gery, he asked it he would be awakefor the surgery.

The nurse told him that hewouldn’t but that if he wanted aDVD with the doctor’s commentary

she would arrange it.Two nights after his surgery we

had a showing.Brynna and Evan showed up,

and we watched the DVD.We watched as the surgeon

poked around in the 20-year-old’sknee and pointed out things like themeniscus, the patella, and the ante-rior cruciate ligament.

Then, we all winced as the doc-tor located the torn meniscus, toldus that it was because of its locationthat the 20-year-old could notstraighten his knee, and dislodgedthe torn piece.

Then, we all looked on inamazement as the doctor startedstitching the torn meniscus backtogether.

We watched as the needlepoked through.

We watched as the little grabberthing caught the end and looped itinto a knot.

Then, we watched as the littlegrabber thing pulled the knot tight.

And the process began all overagain.

When we finished watching theDVD the first time, we did what anyself-respecting patient and and fam-ily and friends would do, wewatched it all over again.

Just a few years ago, somethinglike this would have been unimagin-able.

Not that I would want to sacri-fice my kid just to experience this.

But he did get hurt, and now heis on the mend.

He is managing his injury andclimbing back to health, althoughhe has a few more frustrating weeksbefore he can walk without crutch-es.

Of course, rehab is going to takesome time.

He’ll manage that, too.I do not think he will be able to

stay away from playing those stupidgames, though.

Who could?And we have that cool DVD,

too.A bonus.David Fortier, a Bristol resident,

is a freelance writer.

To the editor:The Miss Bristol Scholarship

Program was started 48 years ago aspart of the Bristol ChrysanthemumFestival. It has always been a localpreliminary to the Miss Connecticutand Miss America ScholarshipPrograms since its inception. Overthe past 48 years, the program haschanged leadership numerous timesand has been run by a variety of vol-unteers.

Unfortunately, some confusionhas been created this year, as to whytwo girls have claimed the title ofMiss Bristol as their own. NicolePaquette competed and wascrowned Miss Bristol 2009 on Oct. 4

in what was billed as a local prelimi-nary to Miss ConnecticutScholarship Pageant. Shortly afterNicole’s crowning, those in charge ofthe Bristol pageant broke ties withThe Miss Connecticut Organizationand denied Nicole the right to com-pete at the state pageant. A new,reorganized group came forward tosupport Nicole, take over the organi-zation and sponsor her, so that shecould compete at this year’s MissConnecticut Pageant.

This new organization headedby Executive Director Linda Lubrico,has chosen to continue the traditionand the pageants affiliation with theMiss Connecticut and Miss America

Scholarship Programs. Mrs. Lubricohas taken ownership of the MissBristol franchise through the MissConnecticut ScholarshipCorporation.

For information about the MissBristol program, upcoming eventsand appearances or for informationabout Miss Bristol, Teen and LittleMiss pageants, please contact LindaLubrico at [email protected] visit their web site at ww.miss-bristolamerica.org.

To the editor:At our last Republican

Town Committee meeting,we discussed the idea of aclustered approach towardsbusiness, in particular thetechnology sector. The idea,brought to our attention byEd Krawiecki, is veryintriguing. To summarizewhat “clustering” entails, itbasically creates a job clus-ter of associated or relatedindustry. When businessescluster, everyone tends towin. Prices are adjusted tobe the most competitive inthe area, the best productsare created and the clusterbecomes known for the typeof industry or service it pro-vides. In our case, we wouldbe utilizing ESPN’s nameand reputation for commu-nications and technology toattract other, related com-panies. This doesn’t meanwe would become the“Sports Media Mecca” of theworld, but rather a hotspotfor IT and technology-relat-ed business.

Following the meeting Ibegan to do a host ofresearch on the technologysector, including IT compa-nies in the state. I startedout by asking individuals inthe sector where the besttalent is, both in state and inthe region. The overwhelm-ing majority told me thatthe best talent is comingfrom Massachusetts.Unfortunately, that talent isstaying in Massachusetts.The northeast contains oneof the largest hot spots forIT, and Connecticut is aplayer in this industry. Withnearly 800 IT companiescalling Connecticut home,we currently rank number21 for states with the mostIT companies. However,Bristol isn’t even in the top10 among Connecticutcities despite being thehome of ESPN. Of ourneighbors, Connecticutranks fifth, behind NewYork, New Jersey,Pennsylvania, andMassachusetts. Accordingto MSNBC’s list of the “mostexpensive states for busi-ness,” New York, New Jerseyand Massachusetts rank inthe top 10. We have a greatopportunity to attract thesebusinesses from our neigh-bors by offering a cheaperalternative. Unfortunately,our state ranks fourth onthat very list. We need towork with the state govern-ment to make doing busi-

ness here in Connecticut amore attractive option. It’sthe only way we will be ableto create a high tech clusterhere in Bristol. High techindustry will bring the bestand the brightest to the city,and will further help usbuild up our local economy,reducing our tax burden.

I’ve heard a lot ofexcuses for why Bristoldoesn’t have a thrivingdowntown yet, as well, howwe are too poor, too small,and too isolated. Theseexcuses are used for basical-ly everything that is ques-tioned about Bristol. Butthis list of excuses is justthat, a list of excuses. WithRoute 72 nearing comple-tion, Bristol is nearly out ofexcuses. For instance, five ofthe top 10 IT cities in thestate are actually smallerthan Bristol, so we certainlyaren’t too small. Cities likeNew Britain, whose medianhousehold income is signif-icantly lower than Bristol’s,was named Connecticut’s2008 Most BusinessFriendly City, so we aren’ttoo poor. People suggestthat Bristol couldn’t sustaina downtown like Blue BackSquare, yet Canton, with apopulation nearly 7 timessmaller than Bristol’s, andpossibly even more difficultto access, has The Shoppesat Farmington Valley. Theseshops, or similar ones,would do tremendous busi-ness here in Bristol? We haveno excuses left to give as towhy we can’t be more thanwhat we are. We are the onlyones holding ourselvesback.

I understand why somehave become so disillu-sioned. Suffering majorblows like the loss of YardeMetals, New Departure andfalling short in our attempt

at landing WFSB havecaused this. The long,drawn out process that hasbecome our downtown hascontinued this theme.However, we have everyqualification to be a thrivingcity capable of sustainingmany new ventures: astrong median householdincome, a top 10 populationand with the completion ofRoute 72, easier access.

There has been aneffort given to try to makeour city a better place, but Ijust feel that these effortshave been too little, and arequickly approaching “toolate” status as well. TheBristol Downtown

Development Corporation’srecent decision to finddevelopers utilizing an RFQ(Request for Qualifications)instead of the RFP (Requestfor Proposals) they had ini-tially used is a start.However, we should bedoing our own part to findqualified developers. Whywait for firms to come to us,when we could be findingour ideal candidate. It’s notoverly difficult to get a firm’sportfolio to see what theyhave accomplished and ifthey would be capable. Weknow what we want indowntown: a mixed-usedevelopment aimed atbringing young profession-

als (like myself) and othersfrom around town, down-town. We need to take amore concerted effort tomake the change we seek.

I’m not going to standhere criticizing our effortsthus far without putting myhat in the ring. I’m notscared to put my name nextto our numerous develop-ment projects, nor am Iafraid of making hard deci-sions. I highly suggest to ourelected officials and theBoard of Finance to startworking on next year’sbudget now, if they haven’talready begun to do so. Idon’t have all the answers toour problems, but I do have

a different viewpoint. It’strue that I’m young, but Ialso represent the verydemographic so many ofyou that I’ve spoken withwish to keep in town, andwant in local government. Ifthis is what you truly want,if positive change and a newbeginning for downtown iswhat you want; if new busi-ness, low taxes and newblood is what you want,then I will represent yourviews and do my best tomake this a reality for myhometown.

Our Night on the Town

My Favorite Highway is notabout following somebody else’strend.

The pop rock group, whichcomes to Hartford’s WebsterUnderground on Wednesday, July17, put its nose to the grindstoneand opted to follow its own careerpath. And that decision to be trueto itself happened to land theyoung band a record deal with amajor label.

Will Cook, the band’s bassistsaid My Favorite Highway (whichalso is David Cook on vocals,Bobby Morgenthaler on drumsand Pat Jenkins on guitar) hadbeen performing showcase gigsfor record companies, pushing itsindependently produced EPs toget signed. But they were gettingnowhere.

So the band decided to gointo the studio to record a full-length album without major labelbacking, said Will. And ratherthan recording an album theband members thought the

record companies wanted to hear,Will said My Favorite Highwayopted to record an album “We alllove and like.”

And when all was said anddone, Will and the band werereally proud of the record thatbecame “How to Call a Bluff.”

The band, as planned,released the completed album onits own. But then things hap-pened.

“The reaction (to the album)was really good and Virgin pickedit up and decided to run with it,”said Will.

Virgin’s interest in MyFavorite Highway was the resultof a shake-up at the company,explained Will. A new staff tookover following a merger. And thenew president heard My FavoriteHighway and liked them.

That’s all she wrote.Suddenly, My Favorite

Highway’s confidence in itselfproved to be well-placed. Theband was now on a major label.

“It was an incredible turn ofevents,” said Will.

Virgin then took “How to CallA Bluff” and had the albumremixed. My Favorite Highwayadded two new songs to thealbum. And the album was re-released to the public.

Punch up “How to Call aBluff” on your MP3 player, andyou’re immediately caught up inthe sugary hooks. After just onelisten, you can tell My FavoriteHighway is not afraid to be a popband.

“We love songs that aremelody driven that get stuck inyour head,” said Will. “That’s thestuff I listen to. That’s the stuff Ilove.”

Some rock fans may consider“pop” to be a dirty word. But tothose naysayers, Will said, “‘Pop’just means it’s popular and peo-ple enjoy it,” said Will. “I’d lovemore people to hear (our music).”

As the band steps out intothe next phase of its career, Willwas asked whose musical careertrajectory he would like to modelMy Favorite Highway’s after. Willsaid he’d love a career like the

Kings of Leon. “I’m a big fan.”Although, the two bands’ soundsare worlds apart, Will said headmires how Kings of Leon haveslowly built up their popularityover the years. Kings of Leonreceived a ton of critical acco-lades with their earlier records.Then they finally exploded withtheir latest “Only by the Night.”

“I would love to have thatkind of career,” said Will. “Peopleget it and latch onto it.”

Another band Will admires isThe Fray. “I love what they’vedone,” said Will. The Fray aren’tabout trends, noted Will. “Theydo music they enjoy.”

As for what My FavoriteHighway is like in performance,Will said fans at the WebsterUnderground can expect a “fun,live performance… They can getinto it, sing along and have agood time.”

Will said he doesn’t like itwhen bands go on stage, bouncearound, but forget about per-forming the music. “We want toplay well,” said Will. Fans coming

to see My Favorite Highway inconcert should expect to heartheir songs played as well as theyare on “How to Call A Bluff.”

Once the tour coming toHartford is finished, Will said MyFavorite Highway knows its workisn’t done. The band pushed toreach this point. But now thatthey are on Virgin, the effort reallybegins.

“We understand it takes a lotof hard work (to have a career inmusic),” said Will. And he would-n’t trade that hard work forinstant success any day. He saidwhen you’re handed things on aplate and success is instant, youdon’t know how to handle it orappreciate it. Will said MyFavorite Highway is young. Timeis on their side.

My Favorite Highway will beat the Webster Underground inHartford, opening for The Cab onFriday, July 17. For more informa-tion, go to WebsterTheater.com orMyFavoriteUnderground.com

My Favorite Highway drives it own route to successMy Favorite Highway

The Barnes Museum inSouthington has added avaluable piece of history toits online collection.

Andrew Upson, a 19th-century Plantsville residentwho fought in the Civil War,wrote home to his wifeElisabeth twice a week.These letters are preservedin the museum collectionand are now available forviewing and reading onlinein two formats: a digitalscan of the actual letter anda transcription made byBarnes curator MarieSecondo.

Upson enlisted inCompany E. 20thConnecticut VolunteerInfantry as a 1st lieutenantin 1862 and was promotedto captain, Company K, thefollowing year. In 1864, hewas wounded at Tracy City,

Tenn., and died one monthlater.

Captain Upson’s lettersprovide details abouteveryday life in a Civil Warcamp and poignantly cap-ture his desire to be athome with his wife andchildren. A devoutly reli-gious man, he describesSunday prayer meeting incamp and often sent homerequests for supplies. Thelittle snippets of his lifeprovide a glimpse into his-tory that is more personalthan a history book.

After he was wounded,he continued to writehome, but it was clear hewas becoming weak. Hislast three letter were dictat-ed to Private S.M. Smith.His final letter, dated fivedays before his death, read:

“My Dear Wife, You canhardly know the difficultyof dictating a letter undermy present circumstances.And it is only my extremedesire to relieve your anxi-ety that I do as much asthis.

“My wounds are dailygaining strength. Myappetite is very good. I haveno doubt in the course oftime of appearing to youcured of these wounds.

“Every effort is madeby the family to procure megood food and I enjoy itvery much. I take my mealsregularly and am consciousof increasing strength. MyDear Wife you must not

expect to hear from me inthis way. It is almost impos-sible to dictate a letter inthis way.”

Our Fashions

Recycled trashbecomes fashion

You don’t need leather or new fabric to come up with a fashionable handbag.Sometimes, trash can be retooled and turned into something stylish if you havea little bit of ingenuity. For instance, above, Bristol’s Cassie Signore carries aTreecycle purse from Harveys (SeatBeltBags.com). The bag is woven fromreclaimed seatbelts from auto and airline manufacturers. California residentDana Harvey came up with the idea for the purse from seatbelts while refurbish-ing his 1950s Buick. From there, he began making the bags in his garage, eventu-ally expanding manufacturing into a 10,000 square feet factory. (Cassie is wear-ing a skirt made out of unused newsprint from end rolls at The Observer.) Topright, Abbey Tessier of Bristol holds a handbag from Nahui Ollin(nahuiollin.com). Nahui Ollin’s designer Olga Abadi learned the ancient Mayanart of weaving everyday materials into handbags. The body of the purse held byAbbey is made from colorful gum wrappers, which were weaved by artisans inMexico. (Abbey wears a blouse made out of garbage bags and a skirt color news-paper circulars made specifically for the fashion spread.) Below right, AlysaPaige of Bristol holds a clutch from Nahui Ollin that also was woven from candywrappers. The lighter colored squares on the clutch are the ingredient lists for thecandy that was used.

getting to you?


The summer stage pro-duction of SouthingtonCommunity Theater isexpanding. For the pastcouple of years, only peoplebetween 18 and 30 years oldcould be in the show. In thenext production, entitled“Children of Eden,” not onlywill all ages be featured, butthe cast boasts upwards of40 people including a chil-dren’s choir.

The new additions toSouthington CommunityTheater only will add to thelocal talent that is visible.The show’s director,Amanda Savio Guay, saidthe talent they see on stagewould floor the audience.

The need to connect

and see that talent is verypresent in today’s culture.By simply turning on thetelevision, one encounters a

plethora of reality showsfocused on finding the nextbig thing.

Guay said, “We spend alot of time watching showslike ‘American Idol’ andpraising and voting for thetalent we see on TV, but thatsame level of talent existsright here in Southington.”

But how does oneshowcase that talent prop-erly? Guay said the decisionto pick this show was madeby surveying previous par-ticipants about what showthey would like to do.“Children of Eden” was ashow Guay said came up alot and was a good fit for theSouthington Summer StageProgram.

“Although the story isset in Biblical times, one of

the underlying themes ofthe show is about family,and more specifically therelationships between par-ents and children,” saidGuay.

“Children of Eden” isloosely based on the story ofGenesis; a familiar story tomany people. The musicalfrom Stephen Schwartz(“Godspell” and “Pippin”)and John Caird (“LesMisérables”) takes theGenesis story and focuseson family relationships.

“We see the difficultiesthat parents face when theirchildren grow up and startto make their own decisionswith the relationshipsbetween Father and Adamand Eve, Adam and Eve andtheir children Cain and

Abel, and Noah and his chil-dren.”

Guay brings up thepoint that the musical takesan ancient story and makesit more modern by focusingon something everyone canrelate to: family and thestruggle parents face to “letgo.” After being so involvedin a child’s life, parents oftenfind it hard to ‘let go’ of theirchildren and let them leadtheir own lives. At its core,‘Children of Eden’ is a storyabout this kind of struggleas well as the normal strug-gles any family faces.

“We all see relation-ships in the show that wehave ourselves, whetherwith our parents, spouses,children, siblings or lovedones. While it is a musical

based on Biblical stories, itis a very human story as well- and the challenges we facetoday are the same as thosethat were faced thousandsof years ago,” said Guay.

S o u t h i n g t o nCommunity Theatre pres-ents “Children of Eden,” onFriday, July 17 and Saturday,July 18 at Southington HighSchool’s Fine Arts Center,Pleasant Street, Southingtonat 7 p.m. Tickets are $8 inadvance and $10 at the door.Tickets are available at JustFor You...Country Gifts, 969Meriden-Waterbury Road,Plantsville, and The MusicShop, 405 Queen Street,Southington.

H A R T F O R D - -Connecticut Gov. M. JodiRell has signed three billsaimed at helping strugglinghomeowners, including onethat makes foreclosuremediation mandatory, notoptional, for all foreclosuresthat began after July 1.

Rep. Ryan Barry, co-chairman of the legislature'sBanks Committee, says cur-rently less than 30 percentof those eligible for foreclo-sure mediation take advan-tage of it. It's a chance todetermine if a loan modifi-

cation or repayment sched-ule is possible.

The other bills set newstandards for mortgage pro-fessionals, including testingand education require-ments, and create a newcrime of mortgage fraud.

Health care reform leg-islation currently beingconsidered by SenatorChristopher J. Dodd andthe Senate Health,Education, Labor andPensions (HELP)Committee could have amajor impact on invest-ment and research in theCentral Connecticut region.

The committee is con-sidering a provision for asimplified regulatory path-way for follow-on biologics,or biosimilars, in the com-mittee’s healthcare reformlegislation. Follow-on bio-

logics and biosimilars arecompanies that copy thework of the originalresearchers and then bringa competing (and possiblyincomplete) solution tomarket. The downside inallowing these follow-onmanufacturers to dilute thevalue of the intellectualproperty is that it will dis-courage the capital marketsfrom taking the risk ofinvesting the necessarycapital to bring these solu-tions successfully to mar-ket.

In response, bothCongressman John B.Larson and CongressmanJoe Courtney are co-spon-sors of H.R. 1548 “ThePathway for BiosimilarsAct” that would provide fora 12 year period of dataexclusivity, basically pro-tecting the intellectualproperty involved in theseinnovative biotech thera-pies. In other words, it willprovide biologics manufac-turers with the same effec-tive patent protections pro-vided to small moleculedrug manufacturers.

Some of SenatorDodd’s HELP Committee

members are now consid-ering watering down thoseprotections to only sevenyears, which would again,discourage venture capitalor other forms of equityinvestment in our regionand state and create a riskyshortcut to biosimilars.

We encourage SenatorDodd to take this uniqueopportunity to support thegrowing bioscience workbeing done in our regionand throughoutConnecticut by supportingthe 12-year period of dataexclusivity in the commit-tee’s mark-up of H.R. 1548supported by Larson andCourtney.

Clearly, Larson andCourtney understand thatany pathway to biosimilarsshould provide a fair periodof time for innovators toprotect their proprietarydata from competitors inorder to promote the con-tinued development ofbreakthrough medicines,therapies and cures.

We urge Senator Doddto respect the carefullycrafted balance betweenaccess, patient safety, andfuture medical break-

throughs and ask him tosupport the 12-year mini-mum standard.

The bioscience indus-try continues to pay majordividends in CentralConnecticut and through-out Connecticut. By creat-ing jobs and investing innew research programs,this vibrant industry ismaking major contribu-tions to the state’s econo-my. It is crucial that U.S.Senator Dodd and otherConnecticut federal legisla-tors recognize this, andresist the urge to waterdown the important 12-year minimum standard inthe Health Care Reform leg-islation.

Chamber NotesFirst, on behalf of the

chamber’s staff, board andmembers I’d like to wel-come the Bristol Press totheir new location just afew doors down from us onMain Street. The move is agood investment in thefuture of the newspaper.Continuing to pay rent forthe old space owned by theJournal Register still inbankruptcy was not con-

ducive to changing up theapproach the new ownersenvision. The new spaceallows for a fresh start andallows everyone to move onfrom the not so good daysunder the JRC’s control.

Second, we have anumber of upcomingevents worth mentioning.The Central ConnecticutChambers of CommerceDay at Lake Compounce iscoming up on July 19.Coupons to purchase tick-ets are available at thechamber office and may bedownloaded from our website www.CentralCTChambers.org and havebeen distributed through-out the six communitiesthat form the CentralChamber. They are alsoavailable at many of the gasstations that utilize theAMP Radio Network.

Final planning and reg-istrations are being takenfor the chamber’s upcom-ing annual “The Big One”golf tournament. We areonce again expecting morethan 270 golfers and willuse two courses at TunxisGC again this year. Anyoneinterested in participating

should contact the cham-ber as soon as possible.

The CentralConnecticut Chamber incooperation with theAmerican Red Cross andthe support of BristolHospital are conducting theRed Cross World SeriesBlood Drive on Aug. 12 atBristol Eastern HighSchool. Each of the six affil-iate chambers will be com-peting to see which cham-ber in the CentralConnecticut consortiumcan donate the highestnumber of pints of blood.Donors can register atwww.givelife.org, and useRCWS as the sponsor code.The more pre-registereddonors we have, the moreresources that will be madeavailable by the Red Cross.We ask that all chambermembers encourage theirmanagement, staff and cus-tomers to participate.

In the District 5 LittleLeague softball age 11-12tournament action, Bristolkept its hopes alive bydefeating Terryville 9-6 in acontest played at McCabe-Waters last Monday after-noon.

Bristol (2-1) needed tobeat Wallingford Wednesdaynight to stay alive in tourna-ment play. Berlin advancedand the Bristol/Wallingfordwinner qualified for thechampionship seriesagainst Berlin in a best-of-three series.

Against Terryville,Bristol held a 6-0 lead aftertwo innings of play. ButTerryville came roaring backlate in the game. However,Terryville couldn’t get thewinning run to the plate.

“Terryville is muchimproved,” said Bristolcoach Darrell Darby. “I toldmy kids you don’t take youropponent lightly (and) youalways respect (the oppo-nent) but I give a lot of cred-it to (Terryville). They bat-tled, they didn’t quit and itwas a tough game overall.”

Katie Curry led Bristolwith three hits, three RBI

while scoring two runs.Nicole Bender also chippedin two hits while AlexDenoto and ChristinaBouvier each tallied impor-tant RBI-hits for Bristol.

In all, six different runsscored runs for Bristol whiledishing out eight hits andtaking early advantage of 14base-on-bases by Terryvillepitcher Olivia Pilarsky.

Those walks were adagger for Terryville as anaggressive attack off wildpitches, past balls andstolen bases quickly piledup the runs for Bristol.

“Our kids have beenworking hard,” said Darby.“We did a lot of little things,played a little small-ball, gotsome timely hits and SarahDarby may not be a 14-15strikeout pitcher but shehad a strong defense behindher, threw strikes and let thedefense do the playing.”

Darby fooled Terryvillebatters early and often withher change-up pitch. Givingup only five hits in the con-test, Darby also posted fourstrikeouts while walkingonly three.

Darby set an early toneto the game, which allowedBristol to post its eventualseven-run cushion.

“She showed a goodchange-up to keep the hit-ters off balance,” said Darbyof his pitcher. “She throwsone of the best change-ups

I’ve ever seen. When she hasit going for strikes, it’s verydifficult for the opposingbatters.”

Erica Ciccio put Bristolin front 1-0 in the firstinning as her steal of homeplate put her team ahead.

Bristol tallied five runsin the second inning – high-lighted by a 2-RBI singlefrom Curry that just snuckoff Terryville second base-men Talia Marino’s glove, aninfield hit by Denoto and aground-out by Bouvier thatscored Ileish Burney tocomplete the scoring binge.

“We’re the type of teamthat likes to put pressure onour opponents,” said Darby.“We have a couple of smart,aggressive base-runnersand I think that reallyopened up the game whenyou put a lot pressure onthem, (get) that little breakand put together that (six-

run) rally.”“The (players) did a

great job today responding,”during the run said Darby.“They did not miss one sign,they were focused and itpaid off.”

Darby earned a RBI offa bases-loaded walk tomake it 7-0 midway throughthe fourth before Terryvillenotched four runs at thebottom of the frame to getwithin three at 7-4.

Bristol tallied runs inthe fifth and sixth inning totake an imposing 9-4 edgegoing into the bottom of thesixth and final frame.

After giving up two runsto cut the deficit to 9-6,Terryville simply ran out ofgas as Darby retired JennLuba for the final out of thecontest to give Bristol thevictory.

The Step Saver/ The Observer

FARMINGTON -- Inwhat could be a preview ofthe upcoming state tourna-ment, the Bristol andUnionville Legion baseballteams engaged in an eight-inning war from TunxisMead Park last Saturdaynight in Farmington.

But in the end, theheroics of the Zone 1 leadermade the ultimate differ-ence in the contest.

Bristol’s DavidCasanova drilled a triple todeep center field in the topof the eighth inning whileTim Georgen’s sacrifice flyforced in the game’s onlyrun as Post 2 picked up a 1-0 victory.

The game was a pitch-er’s duel from the start asthe squads needed an extraframe to finally tally thegame’s winning run.

“I tip my hat off tothem,” said coach JeffFruchtenicht of Unionville.

“Both pitchers actually did afantastic job. You have togive a lot of credit toUnionville pitcher (JackHarvey). He kept us off-bal-ance, had a great change-upand made some good pitch-es.”

Matt Niedzwieckiearned his fifth victory ofthe season for Bristol, strik-ing out 10 while only yield-ing one walk. He struck outthe side in both the secondand sixth frames andallowed three hits.

Niedzwiecki’s controlwas sharp from the onset asthe righty mixed up hispitches that kept Unionvillebatters guessing throughoutthe game.

“Matt Niedzwiecki justdid a great job today,” saidFruchtenicht. “He mixed uphis curve-balls real well. Wecame up with a big hit butDavid (Casanova) for twonights in a row, came upwith a big hit. He had a dou-ble last night and a tripletonight. Big players comeup with big (plays) and thatwas big for us.”

But the bat of Casanovaended up paying the biggestdividends of the evening.

Slotted in his usualninth spot, Casanova talliedtwo hits and stretched outhis eighth inning dingerfrom a possible double intoa three-base hit with onlyone out in the frame.

“He’s scary,” saidFruchtenicht of Casanova’sspeed. “He makes (theopponents) quake andthat’s what’s good abouthim. He can lay down a buntor he could leg out a triple atany time. Not too manyplayers are as fast asCasanova, that’s for sure.”

Georgen’s fly managedto get to only shallow rightfield but the speedyCasanova got a solid jumpoff third. Unionville rightfielder David Dubay made aquality throw to home-platethat catcher CJ Schoenherrseemed to have within hisgrasp.

Casanova’s head-firstdive came as Schoenherrtried to apply the tag but theball got away from thecatcher, leading to thegame’s only run.

Eric Lemke tallied two

hits for Bristol while NickPalmisano collected one hit.

Unionville managedhits in third, fourth andeighth innings of play butBristol’s able defense didnot allow a runner to reachthird base until the finalinning.

Unionville’s AndrewLaBlanc blasted a single tocenter field to start theeighth while Andrew Boyce’ssacrifice bunt got the leadrunner to second.

LaBlanc reached thirdoff a ground-out by Dubay

but did not advance as MikeMoriarty flew out toCasanova in center field toend the game.

“We’re going to seesome good pitching, we’regoing to see some key hit-ting,” said Fruchtenicht ofthe upcoming state tourna-ment. “Our pitching is pret-ty good right now and we’regoing to be matched upagainst teams likeUnionville.”

At 6-foot-1 and 185pounds, University of SiouxFalls quarterback LorenzoBrown might not be thebiggest college QB around.

But the former BristolEastern gridiron standouthas been nothing less thansensational over his lastthree collegian campaigns,which culminated last fallwith a National Associationof Intercollegiate Athletics(NAIA) football champi-onship for the Cougars, theprogram’s second champi-onship over the schools lastthree seasons.

It’s a championshipthat Brown, literally, had hisfingerprints all over.

And after another sum-mer of hard work, there’s noreason to think that theUSF senior QB won’t be

primed for a repeat per-formance in 2009.

The NAIA is an excel-lent alternative to NCAAplay and has numerousprograms all over the coun-ty. Former NBA standoutsTerry Porter (University ofWisconsin-Stevens Points),Dennis Rodman(Southeastern OklahomaState University) andScottie Pippen (Universityof Central Arkansas) allmade names for themselvesat the NAIA level.

And same goes forBrown who not just made aname for himself, but hasmade a remarkable andlasting impression for theCougars after a stellar two-year stint North AreaCommunity College.

Brown exploded on thefootball scene at BristolEastern during his senior

season at quarterback in2004 and completed 64-of-154 passes for 1001 yardswhile rushing 104 times for660 yards.

He completed sixtouchdown passes as aLancer and establishedhimself as a solid two posi-tion player that can throwthe ball while also beingelusive enough avoid biggerdefenders to scamper downthe field for additionalyardage.

Brown also showedability in other areas as asenior at BE. In basketball,Brown dropped a career-high 25 at Maloney duringthe 2004-05 against a toughSpartan squad.

With a plethora of all-around abilities Brown

showed as a Lancer, it’s nosurprise he’s been as suc-cessful at the next level ofhis career.

Brown was dominantat NACC in his two cam-paigns there and piled upstellar numbers during hissophomore season during2007 which included throw-ing for over 2,200 yards for20 touchdowns and tallieda 54-percent completionpercentage. He also ran for416 yards on the groundand rushed for six touch-downs.

In a typical game forBrown during the 2007campaign, Brown tallied334 yards off 15 of 24 passesas North seized a 45-15 vic-tory over Mohawk Collegeback on September 8.

He earned All-American HonorableMention at North while also

picking up Co-MVP honorsin the region.

Brown transferred toUniversity of Sioux Falls for

the 2008 campaign andhelped his team claim the

If there’s a team thatcan stop the Bristol Legionbaseball team in Zone 1action, that team has cer-tainly not materialized yet.

And as the weeks go by,the window of opportunityto pick off Post 2 might sim-ply be out of reach.

Southington found thatout last Monday night, July6, as Bristol – behind anoth-er stellar effort from pitcherSteve Chamberland – post-ed a solid 4-1 victory in agame played at Muzzy Field.

The victory propelledBristol to an undefeated 17-0 mark in Zone 1 whileSouthington fell to 5-9.

Chamberland (3-0) did-n’t give Southington muchto work with as the leftyyielded only four hits andone run. He punched outseven batters while walkingonly one.

After tallying fourstrikeouts over his first eightbatters, the tone was clearlyset for the night in Bristol’sfavor.

“Chamberland threwanother gem,” said coachSpec Monico. “He lookedstrong and I’ve got to give

credit to my assistant JeffFruchtenicht. He’s beencalling Steve’s pitches and Ithought Steve was sharp.”

Southington – whichearlier in the day defeatedTerryville 3-1 – made anumber of miscues anderrors which aided Bristolearly in the contest.

And even though theBristol bats only accountedfor five hits, a number ofplayers reached base safelyto keep the base-paths fullfor the Zone 1 leader.

In the bottom of thefirst stanza, Bristol’s EricLemke was hit by a pitchwhile Stephen Cloutreached on base via error.With two outs, Marco Rossblasted a shot to right field,scoring both Lemke andClout, to give Post 2 a quick2-0 stake in the game.

“Marco came throughin the clutch,” said Monico.“In that situation, that’swhat we look for from guyswho are able to produce.That was key getting thosetwo runs in the first inning.

It also gave Chamberlandsomething to work with onthe mound going into thetop of the second.”

The 2-RBI dinger byRoss gave Chamberland alittle padding and over thenext four frames, the visi-tors were nearly held silent.

Staying ahead in thecount on just about all thebatters Chamberland faced,only Nate Nielgoski andTyler Chamberland talliedhits off Steve Chamberlandover those middle innings,keeping the visitors off theboard.

“Steve threw aroundthe plate all night,” saidMonico. “Towards the end,his pitch count was startingto get up there and he got alittle tired but he held inthere and got the final threeouts.”

Post 2 put the gameaway in the fourth inning asadditional Southingtongaffs led to two more runsfor Bristol.

With a runner on,Lemke’s fly ball to centerfield was dropped afterthree players seeminglyconverged on the play for a

putout, scoring KevinSpatkowksi to make it 3-0.

Lemke later scored off aSheehan wild pitch to stakePost 2 to an imposing 4-0ledger.

“You try to take advan-tage of situations whereyou’re opponent makes amistake and you just try tocome up big,” said Monico.“We just tried to capitalizeon their mistakes.”

Southington managedits only run of the game inthe sixth inning as agrounder by Mark Colescored Justin Sieracki to

make it 4-1.The visitors would not

score again as Chamberlandpicked up his third victoryin the complete game effort.

“I didn’t think we ranthe bases too well tonight,”said Monico as Bristolstranded 11 runners on thenight, “but we live by beingaggressive and die by beingaggressive. That’s the waymy teams play.”

Legion

Bristol seems unstoppable in Legion ball

NAIA championship with aperfect 14-0 record. It wasthe third championship forUSF since 1996.

He was dominant inUSF’s championship gamelast Dec. 20 in front of 6,500fans in Rome, Georgia as theformer Bristol native rushedfor 129 yards (off 19 carries)and threw a 54-yard touch-down strike to helpdethrone 2007 championCarroll College (Montana)23-7.

With just under eightminutes left in the champi-onship contest, Brownfound Jon Ryan for thattouchdown strike that pro-

pelled USF to a 17-0 edgethat Carroll could not comeback from.

Brown was named theoffensive player of the gameand Carroll coach Mike VanDiest admitted that“(Brown) was the differ-ence.”

For the season, Brownthrew for 2,132 yards and 25touchdowns. The craftyBrown also led the teamwith 14 rushing TD’s.

He was named theGPAC Football All-Conference in 2008 whilewas also named to the GPACFootball Second TeamOffense.

In the Spring NAIA foot-ball poll, USF is once again

ranked No. 1 and garneredall 15 first-place votes. TheCougars will be once againthe favorites to win anotherchampionship.

USF will return 17starters to the line-up and,with Brown once again atthe helm, the Cougars haveall the tools it needs for arepeat performance.

And for those that haveseen Brown improve andperform over the years inBristol, the success that he’shad certainly doesn’t comeas any big surprise.

Summer travel tipsWith the summer travel

season upon us, people arelooking for ways to have funand get the most out of theirtrip, while staying withinbudget.

Kevin Harvick, driver ofthe No. 29 Shell-Pennzoil carand co-owner of the KevinHarvick Inc. race teams,spends a lot of his time travel-ing from racetrack to race-track. Throughout the years,he’s gained a lot of knowledgeand experience in managinghis travel budget.

“We are on the road atleast 34 weeks out of the year,so keeping travel costs downis imperative to keeping a bal-anced budget, but it’s notalways just about finding thelowest price,” said Harvick.“There are a lot of differentthings we do to get the mostout of every dollar, from plan-ning travel routes and fuelstops ahead of time, to per-forming regular maintenanceon the haulers and using pay-ment options that help savemoney.”

Something to keep inmind when traveling is thatusing high-quality gasolinehelps protect and clean criticalengine parts, which helpsdrivers get the most out ofevery drop. Harvick also rec-ommends using the ShellFuelStretch tips.

* Drive smoothlyAvoid heavy acceleration

or braking. Speeding, rapidacceleration and braking canlower your gasoline mileageby 5 percent at lower speedsaround town and by 33 per-cent at highway speeds.

* Keep your engine well-tuned and repair any prob-lems immediately

If your car has failed anemissions test or is noticeablyout of tune, repairing theproblem could improve yourgasoline mileage by 4 percenton average.

* Make sure tires are notover or under-inflated

Proper air pressure cutsdown on fuel used while driv-

ing. Keeping tires at the cor-rect pressure can improvegasoline mileage by morethan 3 percent.

* Minimize vehicle dragKeep your trunk and

back seat clear of unnecessaryitems that only add weight.Removing excess weight canimprove your gasolinemileage.

* Use the recommendedgrade of oil in your engine

Following your manu-facturer’s motor oil recom-mendation can improve gaso-line mileage by up to 2 per-cent.

* Choose a high-qualitygasoline

Top automakers say thatcarbon deposits can build upon critical engine parts, whichcan decrease the power, per-formance and fuel efficiency

of your.* Use cruise control on

major roads and in free-flow-ing traffic

Maintaining a constantspeed can improve gasolinemileage.

* Avoid idlingWhen you idle, you get

zero miles per gallon.* Avoid higher speedsGasoline mileage usually

decreases when driving atspeeds over 60 miles per hour.

* Plan your outings toavoid separate trips

Combine your errandsinto one outing to avoid shortseparate trips.

* Use payment optionsthat save money

Payment cards offer asimple way to pay for thingsquickly, but they can also saveyou money.

From father to son: automotive and life lessonsAutomobiles often

become a special place forparents to bond with theirchildren, whether it’s tin-kering under the hood, orseated behind the wheelfor a test drive.

WyoTech, one of thepremier automotive train-ing institutions in thecountry, asked its studentsfor the best advice theirfathers gave them aboutautomotive care. Studentsshared their stories and thewisdom of their fathers.While some of this fatherlyadvice is simply aboutmechanics, much of itextends well beyond auto-motives to lessons for life.

Many fathers stressedthe overall importance oflearning. ReymundoDelago, an automotivetechnology student at theFremont, Calif. campus,says that his father alsoencouraged him to learn asmuch as possible. “Myfather told me: You cannotpossibly learn everythingthere is to know about cars,so every day becomes anopportunity to learnmore,” says Delago.

His classmate, JoseGonzales, says that hisfather ’s advice was to:“Focus on education andtry to learn as much aboutcars as possible.”

Jimmy Avalos, anautomotive student at theLong Beach, Calif. campus,was encouraged to: “Go toschool and make some-

thing of myself.” Avalosadds that he has followedhis father ’s advice byenrolling at WyoTech, andis now planning for afuture in automotiverepair.

Caroline Gishnock, arefinishing student at theBlairsville, Penn. campus,says her father told her to:

“Never give up. You can fixanything!” Of course, somejobs may require moreelbow grease than others,but Curtis Treadaway, anautomotive technologystudent in Fremont, saysthat the similar advicefrom his father and hisfather’s optimistic attitudehave given him a good per-

spective on some of life’stroubles.

Treat your car — andothers — well was theadvice that Covey Durhamreceived. He is an automo-tive technology student inFremont. His father’s ruleapplies off the road as well— if you want to be treatedwith respect, it has to startwith you.

The best advice NickJensen’s father gave himwas simply that: “Yourfuture is in your hands.”Jensen, a Fremont automo-tive technology student,says his father ’s advicemade him realize his ownpotential and encouragedhim to pursue further edu-cation. “My dad alwayssaid that my future is inmy own hands, but I didn’trealize what that meantuntil I grew up. Now that Ihave begun my studies atWyoTech, I really do feellike I am in charge of myown future,” says Jensen.

Andy Kunselman,director of student services,says that his father neversaid much, but that helearned by having a role

model and a mentor.“Because my dad alwayshad a joke to tell, I learned tohave fun, enjoy life and domy best to get a laugh. I alsolearned how to be reliableand provide for my family. Ibelieve I learned how to bethere for friends in need, andhelp others in general, bywatching my dad.”

Fathers have alsopassed on a love for cars.“Two days before my fatherpassed away he was stillworking on his ‘57 Chevystation wagon. He taughtme all I know about cars,and now it’s my turn toteach my son,” says CharlesCuevas, an automotive stu-dent in Long Beach.

Walter Davis, an auto-motive technology studentin Fremont, shares Cuevas’passion for cars and addsthat his father’s best adviceto him was simply to dowhat he loves. Thisinspired him to combinehis passion for cars with atechnical training fromWyoTech, turning his loveof cars into a full-timecareer as an automotivetechnician.
