The grounds at Green Acres Elementary School have been getting a face lift over the last few weeks thanks to the hard work of some of its students and the North Haven Garden Club.

“The PTA sponsors three

after-school programs a year and the kids give us feedback on what they are interested in. This time they wanted to do a gar-dening program,” said Kate Ciak, Green Acres PTA.

The PTA contacted the garden vlub for help and member Cindy Golia, who

First Selectman Mike Freda appealed for support for the middle school referendum on June 17 during his comments at the selectmen’s meeting on June 5.

Residents will be asked to approve $69,814,452 in bond-ing for the renovation of the middle school, which will in-

clude a new classroom wing, renovations to the bulk of the school and the addition of two new soccer fields with artifi-cial turf.

Other leadership advocat-ing for the school includes Joel Rudicoff, a North Haven attor-ney and vice chairman of the Democratic Town Commit-tee. He actively supports the passage of the middle school referendum. “Rebuilding the

middle school is of paramount importance to our town, and not only because we owe it to North Haven children to provide them with an excel-lent middle school,” he said. “The existing middle school is at risk of losing accredita-tion. The loss of accreditation has wide-spread implications for the reputation of our town

A small group of hearty hik-ers celebrated National Trails Day at Peter’s Rock on June 7 with a hike to the summit.

At 373 feet above sea level, the summit is the highest point in North Haven and the trail taken was one of 10 that wind through the town’s most captivating wilderness area.

On the way up hikers passed a story walk that had been set up for the town’s “One Town, One Book” project. Most of the time was spent passing a variety of trees that were identified by Peter’s Rock As-sociation board member Wal-ter Brockett.

Brockett identified trees often by picking leaves and commenting on the shapes.

works with youth as part of her role at the club, stepped up the spearhead the project.

“I am thrilled to be a part of this and extremely excited to have them involved in gar-dening at a young age,” Golia said.

Once a week for five weeks, 13 students from first, second,

third and fifth grade meet af-ter the school bell to help beautify the grounds. Their duties include everything from weeding, planting, and watering.

“I wanted to do this because I love flowers and helping my dad with gardening” said fifth grader Merve Sariyildiz.

“I like how everyone is friendly and I get to be out-side,” said fifth grader Jais L.

On the agenda for the group was to replant all the flower pots in the front and back of the school. They also had to update the raised beds in the courtyard, which included weeding, putting down new soil and mulching.

“I like planting flowers at home so it’s fun to do this at school too,” said first grader Annika Burr.

“They are so enthusiastic and hard workers. Whatever I ask them to do, they do it and even with the different ages, they’ve been working so well together,” Golia said.

In addition to the hands-on work, the program has given the kids an opportunity to

learn more about gardening and what the garden club does in North Haven.

“It’s great for them to want to do this while they are young because this will carry on and they will want to be involved in the community in the years to come,” said garden club member Lynda O’Donnell.

Golia said she plans to come back in the fall and winter and replace the flow-ers with seasonal plants and greens to help keep the grounds looking updated.

Both the PTA and garden club provided the supplies for the program, which will conclude in June.

The Garden Club meets the second Thursday of the month at the North Haven Congregational Church on 28 Church Street at 7 p.m. There is a small annual membership fee and the club accepts new members year around.

June 14: A day to explore area museums

On June 14, nearly 200 mu-seums, restaurants and other attractions will be offering discounts or free admission during the 10th Annual Con-necticut Open House Day.

The Southington Drive-in and Barnes Museum in South-ington and Paradise Hills Vineyard and Winery in Wall-ingford are among this year’s participating attractions.

“Connecticut Open House Day is really a great opportu-nity for Connecticut residents to go around the state that day and to experience some great opportunities through some of the small and some of the larger attractions and venues around the state,” said Randy Fiveash, director of the state Department of Economic and Community Development of-fice of tourism. “Some are free, some are reduced cost and some are special deals.”

On Saturday, the town-owned Southington Drive-in kicks off its season with a

showing of the movie “Jaws.” The following week, the drive-in will participate in the open house day for the first time, Dawn Miceli, a mem-ber of the drive-in committee, said.

The first 100 carloads will get in for the Southington res-ident price of $10. Non-res-idents typically pay $15 a carload. The movie “Ice Age” will be playing that night.

“The whole goal of the CT open house day is to showcase all the different amenities and venues we have in our state,” Miceli said. “We at the South-ington Drive-in believe we have one of the most interest-ing and unique venues in the state. We definitely wanted to be a part of this statewide cel-ebratory event.”

Barnes Museum curator Marie Secondo said the mu-seum will be offering free ad-mission for tours of the facility.

The Barnes family built the house in 1836 and it was do-nated to the town by Bradley Barnes in 1973. Three gener-ations of the Barnes family

lived in the 17-room house un-til Bradley Barnes , the grand-son of Amon Bradley, donated it. Items owned by the family are on display year-round, in-cluding diary entries family members kept starting in the early 1800s.

“We’re featuring the gar-dens because June is a won-derful time and we’ve really enhanced our gardens a lot. So we’re trying to highlight the garden and have people not only visit the inside, but we encourage them to walk around the grounds and see the roses in bloom,” Secondo said. “Roses… are indicative of the time period. Bradley Barnes would have had the same kinds of rose bushes.”

Normal admission to the Barnes Museum is $5 for adults, $4 for seniors, $2 for students, and children under five are free. The museum is also participating in Blue Star Museums, giving free admis-sion to members of the mil-itary and their families this summer.

“We’re hoping to get a lot of

people from Southington be-cause many people have lived here for years never stepped foot in the museum and once they do they’re really enthu-siastic about what they find in here,” Secondo said. “It’s a wonderful museum and full of treasures.”

Paradise Hills in Walling-

ford will be offering free chil-dren’s activities from noon to 1 p.m., hay rides from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m., and live entertainment from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m.

Staying active, no matter your age, can improve your quality of life.

StatePoint – While it’s difficult to encapsulate the moods of tens of millions of people born between 1946 and 1964, one thing has of-ten been said about boomers – they share a determination to stay forever young.

Next to improving diet and shunning tobacco, noth-ing a person does increases life expectancy more than exercising, according to the National Institute on Ag-ing. As such, many boom-

ers are busy with their quest for immortality on the bike paths and exercise mats of America.

While exercise is great for body and mind, it doesn’t come without risk. And an injury can derail a routine quickly.

Here are five ways boom-ers can ensure they’re stay-ing safe and having fun with exercise:

• Know your limitations: Don’t increase the inten-

sity of physical activity too quickly, especially if you have existing cardiovascu-lar, joint or muscle problems that could be aggravated as a result.

Work with a licensed trainer at first, who can as-sess your strength, flexibil-ity, balance and endurance, and create a custom workout program accordingly.

• Try something new: New activities can keep you mo-tivated and help you avoid over-working particular joints and muscles. Con-sider something totally dif-ferent, such as pickleball, a fast-paced court sport com-bining elements of tennis, badminton and table tennis.

• Take control: Whether gardening, golfing or danc-ing, it’s inevitable that phys-ical activity will create occasional muscle pain, stiff-ness, swelling and bruising. Pain can be immobilizing and depressing, so manag-

ing it is important.“Avoid medications that

mask pain coming from strained or damaged tis-sues,” says Jyl Steinback, au-thor of “Superfoods: Cook Your Way to Health,” and ex-

ecutive director of ShapeU-pUS.org. “Instead, consider a homeopathic medicine, such as Arnicare Gel, that works naturally with the body to

and the property value of ev-ery land owner.”

Freda pointed out that the town will not pay the full $69.8 million because state reim-bursement of at least 30.7 per-cent will lower the town’s cost to $45-55 million. “The bond authorization doesn’t include the state reimbursement,” he said.

He also said the town’s first-rate financial status will lower the ultimate cost. “The proj-ect will go out for bond for 20 years and the town’s AAA financial status will result in $2.6 million in interest sav-ings over the life of the bond,” he said.

He also warned that if the

middle school renovation project isn’t approved the school could lose its accredi-tation, “which is the antithesis of a town with an AAA rating.”

Renovating the school also is important, “because the middle school is the back-bone of a child’s education,” he said. Furthermore, “The quality of the town’s school system enhances the town’s value for people who want to buy homes and increases the value of your home down the road if you want to sell,” Freda said.

Voting for the middle school referendum takes place at the Mildred Wakeley Recre-ation Center on Linsley Street on June 17 from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m.

Hikers

Hikers passed a wide variety of trees, from cherry to oak, birch to cedar, hickory to hon-eysuckle. They also passed a small but growing chestnut tree that Brockett planted that he said would grow to 100 feet. The trees varied in size, from small to towering, with Brockett commenting on the colors and texture of their bark.

As the hikers reached the summit, they got an expansive view of the surrounding area, from Sleeping Giant to West

Rock. A vulture flew overhead and one of the hikers said the rocks at the summit are older than the Rocky Mountains.

The event took place on National Trails Day, the first Saturday in June, that cele-brates the importance of trails in the U.S. Peter’s Rock’s are among the 200,000 trails in America that are highly val-ued for their natural beauty and role in restoring the phys-ical fitness of hikers like those at Peter’s Rock, who enjoyed this year’s celebration of Na-tional Trail Day.

Unscented and non-greasy, the gel is quickly absorbed by the skin. More information about natural muscle pain treatment can be found at www.Arnicare.com.

• S p i c e r a c k r e -sources: Turmeric, ginger and cayenne pepper all have anti-inflammatory proper-ties, as well as many other health benefits. Stick to your good-for-you, energy-boost-ing diet by giving your bland foods a low-calorie kick with spices, roots and herbs.

• Boost your metabolism: As we age, our metabolism slows down. Avoid com-pounding this with stress or fatty, heavy meals. To main-

tain a healthy weight and avoid insulin spikes or hy-poglycemia, try eating small, balanced meals six times a day, rather than three big ones. Eating at the same time each day in a relaxed and convivial atmosphere speeds up digestion and makes en-ergy more readily available.

• Recharge at night: You’ll need your shut eye with your new active lifestyle. Luckily, exercise can contribute to longer, deeper sleep, helping replenish and rebuild every cell in the body. This goes beyond beauty sleep. Great sleep can aid longevity.

Don’t let potential aches and pains stop you from exercising regularly. The sooner you start moving, the better you’ll look and feel. With a few tricks, you can exercise more safely and pain-free.

Senior Menu

Your backyard is a space where you enjoy quality time with your family all year long. But accidents can happen any-where -- even in the oasis of your backyard. For parents, taking extra safety precautions out back should be just as im-portant as childproofing done indoors.

To prep and maintain your yard for outdoor safe play and relaxation, here are several im-portant steps:

LawnRemove tree stumps and

level concrete footings to avoid tripping. Lawn debris such as rocks could become projectiles when cutting the grass. So be sure to clear the yard. Additionally, children should never be nearby while you’re using motorized equip-ment. Store potentially dan-gerous tools, equipment and chemicals completely out of

the reach of children, such as in a locked shed or garage.

FencingA yard without a fence is

like a house without walls. Fences help protect children from danger, keeping tod-dlers out of swimming pools, hot tubs, ponds, or away from traffic or strangers. Fences can also improve pet safety, keep-ing your pets in your yard and other animals out, and can re-duce your liability by prevent-ing injuries to uninvited guests on your property.

With that in mind, be sure your fences and gates are func-tional and free of rust that can render them useless or dangerous.

“Rusty metal gate hardware that no longer functions prop-erly or becomes a threat to children is a top homeowner concern, according to our re-search,” says Jim Paterson, se-

nior vice president of D&D Technologies, which manufac-tures gate latches and hinges made of ultra-strong engineer-ing polymers.

Eliminate this worry by installing high-quality fenc-ing impervious to seasonal weather, ground settling and other factors that can cause gates to become misaligned over time. Opt for gate hard-ware that can be easily ad-justed to function properly over the long-term. For ex-ample, some models of Tru-Close self-closing tension adjustable hinges are vertically and horizontally adjustable.

Additionally, be sure to in-stall pool barrier access gates with adjustable self-clos-ing hinges like TruClose and self-latching gates where the latches are out of the reach of

Sun ProtectionWhen the sun is bearing

down, skin can be suscepti-ble to burns and permanent damage year-round. And chil-dren’s skin can be even more sensitive to harmful UV rays. Your yard should have plenty of shady areas to seek re-spite. Plant trees and watch them grow. Install a canopy. Adorn patio furniture with an umbrella.

Your backyard can be one of the most exciting places for your children to play through the entire year. A little preven-tion along the way will keep it safe and fun.

‘Vote’ signs return to school locations for upcoming referendumIn an effort to increase

voter turnout for the June 17 Middle School referen-dum, the town will place voter signs at the elementary schools as well as the Mildred Langley Rec Center, where

the referendum vote will take place.

A letter to the town from the Middle School Building Committee requesting school locations for the voting signs was read at the selectmen’s

meeting June 5. The letter in-dicated the schools are the best place for the signs, since they will be seen by par-ents taking their children to school.

The schools are the tra-ditional location for voting signs but were moved for the recent budget referendum to new locations chosen by se-

lectmen Timothy Doheny and Sally Buemi. The new lo-cations, including the Mon-towese and Northeast fire houses and a property at the intersection of Dixwell and Hartford Turnpike, will not be used for the middle school referendum but may be used in the future if new signs are purchased.

8.6 percent of registered voters cast ballots for the budget referendum that passed by a large 78 percent margin.

Voters will be asked to ap-prove $69,814,452 in bonding for the renovation of the mid-dle school at the referendum on June 17.

Flag Day is June 14. Several Veterans organizations have scheduled ceremonies to properly retire unser-viceable American Flags. Our Nation’s Flag has seen many faces, but, here are a few things that may be use-ful to know:

After declaring America’s independence in 1776, our new nation was still largely unsettled.

A variety of flags were flown that were typically homemade and reflective of the region where they flew.

Our new nation needed a uniform flag to assist our country continue its momentum and unify the people.

On June 14, 1777, the Continental Congress passed the first Flag Act: “Resolved: that the flag of the United States be made of 13 stripes, alternate red and white; that the union be 13 stars, white with a blue field, rep-resenting a new constellation.”

After Vermont and Kentucky were admitted to the union, Congress passed the second Flag Act of 1794, which stated that by May 1795, the flag should have 15 stripes and 15 stars. This flag flew over Fort McHenry in 1814.

The third Flag Act of 1818 reduced the number of stripes to its original 13 and ordered that a new star would be added for each new state.

Again, there were no instructions on how the stars should be placed, so flag makers placed them in a vari-ety of patterns (circles-lines-one large star). In 1912, by executive order, President William Taft declared that the stars should be in six horizontal rows and that a single point of each star should be pointed upward.

On Jan 3, 1959, with the addition of Alaska, the 49th state, President Eisenhower ordered the stars to be set in seven rows of seven stars, staggered horizontally and vertically.

Just eight mounts later when Hawaii joined the union, Eisenhower directed a new arrangement for the flag in which five horizontal rows of six stars would alternate with four staggered rows of five stars.

This flag remains the one that flies today.Submitted by John W. Hackett, USAF, Ret.Post Commander, American Legion Post 68

Letters to the Editor

School vote matters To the editor:June 17 is the referendum for

the Middle School. Your vote counts. Be it for or against the project together with other votes, it will count. This is our chance to make a differ-ence and be proud of the fact that you took a position and it counted.

Around town I have heard people discussing the Stan-ley Cup playoff, as well as the Mets, Sox and the Yan-kees games. They know the players’ stats, the teams his-tory and have solutions as to how to win the games. When I asked them if they were going to vote on June 17, I received blank stares. “What are you talking about” was their reply.

This is (with interest) a $74 million dollar expenditure. We will be repaying for approxi-mately 15 years.

The questions are “do you or do you not want to renovate like new the middle school?”

“Do you or do you want arti-ficial turf playing fields at an additional non-reimbursable four million?”

Do not allow other voters to decide this very important is-sue. You have the right to vote or not to vote. Where would our country be if our forefa-thers stood by idly while mon-archs, tyrants, aggressors and terrorists tried to intimidate us?

We fought for our country’s independence in the revolu-tionary war with the slogan, “No taxation without repre-sentation and don’t tread on me.”

Here is your chance to honor all the brave people that fought and or died for the right to vote.

Get out and vote on June 17 at the Recreation Center, 5 Lindsay St.

Fire station tributeTo the editor:I am writing on behalf of my

family to thank the town and the North Haven Fire Com-mission for the wonderful ren-ovations at fire headquarters on Broadway. This building is named after my uncle, John P. Rosadini.

I was proud to attend the re-dedication ceremony at headquarters on May 24, and I took a tour of this great fa-cility. My Uncle John joined the fire service in town many years ago, and he was instru-mental in establishing a paid, professional fire department. I know he would be very proud of our current professional

and volunteer firefighters.I would also like extend a

special thank you to North Haven Fire Commissioner Pe-ter Criscuolo for the beautiful memorial garden in front of fire headquarters. It is a great tribute to our professional firefighters.

Rash of thefts To the editor:I am a concerned resident of

North Haven and would like to give a heads up to residents on Van Rose Drive and surround-ing neighborhood streets. We have had a rash of break-ins of unlocked cars with small items and change being sto-len. The times have changed in North Haven. For example, a couple of months ago, the ATF, FBI and several police depart-ments descended on our street to arrest drug dealers.

These types of thefts con-tinue to be a problem with incidents occurring on a regu-lar basis. I have addressed my concerns to the first selectman and the chief of police and made the suggestion of writ-ing an article in the local pa-per, not intended to panic, but to inform North Haven res-idents to be alert and not so trusting. I have not seen any-thing as of yet so I am letting my neighbors know that we need to be smart and lock up and be more diligent not that summer is upon us. I would suggest if you notice anything, you inform the police and let your neighbors know as well.

I’ve never been a Washington Redskins fan and I never will be, but I suddenly feel a kinship with those guys wearing hog snouts and female garb in light of the recent developments.

In fact, I even woke up humming, “Hail to the Redskins.”

Senators like Harry Reid of Ne-vada and our own Chris Murphy and Richard Blumenthal signed legisla-tion demanding that the Redskins

change their name. I was hoping they meant the “Washington” part, but that obviously wasn’t the case.

In an era I never could have contemplated on even dark, rainy nights, people who are supposed to be trying to represent their con-stituents in an effort to make life better in our nation are actually

immersed in the notion of changing a

sports team’s nickname?Our bridges crumble,

our health care system is in disarray, young people are killing each other be-cause it’s OK to do on video games and in the movies, we reduce services that are working and desper-ately needed, and here are Murphy and Blumenthal fanning the flames of absur-dity with the inane notion that the Redskins’ owners are intolerant because of a nickname established 80 years ago.

Let’s assume the minority of those who actually care win the battle, place a ham-merlock on ‘Skins owner Daniel Snyder and rescue those Native American vic-tims who suddenly feel in-sulted by a notion that was instituted to pay tribute to their bravery and strength.

Where does the nickname nonsense go from here?

Let’s take a close look at the NFL team I do root for: the New York Gi-ants. Is it intolerant to the uncommonly big people we’ve known like Andre “The Giant” Roussimoff, Ted “Lurch” Cassidy, Pe-ter “Chewbacca” Mayhew, Richard Kiel (Burt Reyn-olds’ defensive end in “The Longest Yard), Wilt “The Stilt” Chamberlain, Gheo-rghe Muresan, Yao Ming, etc.?

Why don’t we change the team’s nickname to the New York Six-Footers?

Conversely, I haven’t heard a groundswell to do away with the youth football division known as Midgets? I googled Midget Football and didn’t find any protest movements on the part of those afflicted with dwarfism.

And Mr. Murphy, what is your opinion of the nickname that appears to reflect on folks of your eth-nicity in much the same way Redskins do to Na-tive Americans? The Notre Dame Fighting Irish, as if you don’t know, features a caricature of a pugna-cious leprechaun that may be construed by some as a racist statement, kind of like the people who have

turned on the Cleveland In-dians’ flag-bearer, old Chief Wahoo.

Not me, mind you. It makes me think of the “Fighting 69th,” the New York City-based regiment that made the Union proud during the Civil War. It also has been immortalized in a wonderful movie starring the pugnacious Irish actor James Cagney and, Senator Murphy, in song by a popu-lar Boston-based rock band, the Dropkick Murphys.

Trust me, Senator Mur-phy, I don’t mean that as a political statement.

Regarding nicknames, I covered the Farming-ton High Indians for many years and back in the early 1990s a particularly left-leaning, despotic prin-cipal demanded that the school give up the Indians mascot and logo. He pro-vided two options: either stop using it, or change it.

He had already taken it upon himself to have jan-itors whitewash an artis-tically rendered logo that adorned the gymnasium wall, created diligently and lovingly by a Class of 1980 grad.

I received a call from a distraught athlete/Student Council rep who urged me to be in the school court-yard Monday morning, 10

a.m. A protest that proved democracy was still alive and well crushed the prin-cipal’s vendetta and helped usher him out the door.

When Southington teams and their followers next go to Farmington, they can think about two things:

1) Farmington remains the Indians, a tribute to the Tunxis tribes that lived along the shores of the Farmington River before and during the arrival of European settlers.

2) A generic Indian logo was hastily transcribed on the gymnasium wall.

Senators, if the State of Connecticut, suffering acutely from one-party domination, was in tiptop shape, perhaps turning your thoughts to sports mas-cots and logos would be permissible.

If the highway infra-structure was sound, if the I-84 project in Cheshire had been completed with-out epic mishandling, if you could find a way so that motorists from New York and Boston passing through could contribute to the general fund instead of the double-taxing us on gasoline, then petition until your hearts are content.

Perhaps Snyder can change the nickname to Senators, but that’s already

been tried. It comes of no surprise that team has been relegated to scrap heap of history. Now let’s see if we can prevent our state and country from being so relegated.

So let me hear it now, boys. Clear your voices and

sing that catchy tune that I hope we don’t hear too of-ten during games next fall.

“Hail to the Redskins, Stand by your game. Hail to the Redskins, Reject the no-tion you must change your name.”

A visit to the Auxiliary Gift Shop at the Bradley Campus of the Hospital of Central Connecticut offers passersby, visitors and staff an ever-changing, trendy look in merchandising.

Under the management of lifetime Southington resident Jackie Marenholz and a re-energized staff of volunteers, the gift shop sustains a fresh new look notwithstanding the an-nounced plans of Hartford HealthCare group to dis-continue inpatient care at Bradley within the year.

Though the number of hospital beds has been re-duced, the institution con-tinues to serve as a local

health care facility for di-verse medical testing and the professional services of many doctors, with of-fices on campus as well as ancillary services.

Boys lacrosseThe Indians season came

to an unexpected end against Daniel Hand, falling to the Tigers 13-5 in the first round of the Class M tournament.

Although heavy favorites heading into the matchup, the fourth-seeded Indians were stymied early and often by 13th-seeded Hand, which entered the matchup riding a wave of confidence from its 9-7 qualifying round win over Bethel.

North Haven struggled to find the back of the net, as Hand’s zone defense kept the Indian attackers at bay. Sophomore Patrick McK-enna finally got the Indians on the board with 2:07 left in the first half.

The second half was more of the same for both squads: a struggle to break through Hand’s defense for North Haven, and a continuously mounting lead for Hand, giving the Tigers a 9-3 lead entering the final quarter of play.

The young North Haven team will look to return next season with more experience under its belt, and build off a season that included dou-ble-digit wins and the team’s first SCC Tournament ap-pearance. The Indians also recorded the program’s first top-10 ranking in state polls.

North Haven will graduate only four seniors.

BaseballHaving qualified for the

Class L tournament by the narrowest of margins, the Indians’ postseason stay was a short one, as 29th-seeded North Haven was bounced from the first round by 4th-seeded Notre Dame-West Haven, 6-0.

Having faced each other just two weeks prior, each team’s ace was familiar with his opponent. After two scoreless frames from each pitcher, the Green Knights fi-nally got to senior Jeff Cun-

ningham, scoring three runs in the third inning.

Notre Dame pitcher Johnny Amendola proved practically impossible for North Haven to solve. The Indians managed only two hits off the Knight starter, while Cunningham and company were touched for three more runs throughout

the contest to complete the scoring.

The Indians, who finished the season 8-13, will graduate nine seniors but shouldn’t be counted out for next season. North Haven has made the state tournament six straight seasons.

‘Fed Up’ takes on ‘big food’

Are you fed up? After seeing the movie “Fed Up”, you will be. Direct and candid, Fed Up, exec-utive produced by Katie Couric and Laurie Lennard (“An Incon-venient Truth”), tells you the truth about the American diet and should be a wake-up call for all of us.

I took to the theater not only as a movie fan but as a family doctor. I went with long-term friend and cardiologist Michael Rocha M.D. from the New Bed-ford Wellness Initiative in Mas-sachusetts. As physicians, we thought we knew more than the average Joe about diet and exer-cise. The reality, however, is that medical school and residency do as much to teach doctors about nutrition as the National Baseball League teaches a ball player how

to make his own bat. We are all must step up to the plate whether or not we have mastered all the tools in our arsenal. Ironic, isn’t it? The focus in U.S. medical training is more on how to treat disease than how to prevent it. Think of all the suffering from disease that could be stopped if more people were taught how to eat well to live a healthier life.

Fed Up has courageously taken the reins as America’s ad-vocate. The lobbyists of the food industry, aka Big Food, cannot be happy about it.

Since the 1970s, we have been fed the line that too much fat is the culprit. Unfortunately, when you remove the fat from food, it tastes like cardboard. To keep Big Food alive, added sugar replaced the fat. The numbers are stagger-ing. A single can of soda contains 111 percent the allowable added sugar per day for men (36 grams or nine teaspoons per day) or 167 percent for women (24 grams or

six teaspoons per day). It makes you want to read your nutrition labels a bit more closely.

For once, the United States does not want to be the leader but we are faced with an epi-demic. America ranks first in the world for obesity with 32.8 per-cent of its citizens weighing in as obese.

Big Food is eager to point the finger at everyone else. Exercise, they say. The sedentary lifestyle must be to blame for obesity. While exercise is an import-ant part of health and wellness, exercise alone will not control someone’s weight -- not when it takes 1 hour and 12 minutes of swimming to burn off one me-dium sized French fry serving. What else are people eating throughout the day? Too many are relying on the convenience of processed food and the hid-den added sugar. They are too focused on the “low fat” and “re-duced fat” labels to do otherwise.

Big Food pulls every trick in the book. Marketers target chil-dren’s programming. School caf-eterias serve fast food straight from McDonald’s, Arby’s and Sbarro’s. Health insurers buy stock in fast food companies because they know that is what keeps them in business. Lobby-ists have even influenced what information is included in gov-ernment reports.

Fed Up turns its spotlight on the ugliness of Big Food but it is up to you to decide how to step up for yourself. Show that you are fed up by pulling away from added sugar in your own diet. Speak out to your state legisla-tors about changes that can have a widespread impact. Do not be a statistic. Get to a theater today to see Fed Up for yourself and join the charge.

is slated to remain in place, a vital facility serving Southington.

Marenholz said: “The gift shop is doing well again, perhaps better than in a long while, after a brief decline this past winter.”

Volunteer Donna Toce added: “The gift shop has a new look.”

Browsing through, one eyes the careful displays of trendy and seasonal sports and casual wear, accessories such as scarves, handbags, hats, backpacks, beach and summer wear, accented by fashion jewelry, watches and more.

“The kind of things you don’t find in one place, just anywhere,” staffer Linda Rudnick noted, “whether it’s a gift for someone who is well or sick, or it’s for yourself.”

For your garden, there are special accent pieces that brightly welcome friends, including specia l ly- in-scribed stones to inspire inspirational thinking, hand-made birdhouses, patio and outside picnic, BBQ items, glasses, mugs, napkins and towels.

“We’re ready with perfect gifts for Father’s Day and graduation, too, and a collec-tion of cards for those rest-ing up as well as books for

summer reading,” Marenholz said.

On her way out after some tests, Barbara Nolan eyed an item from the entry foyer that told her to stop. Walking into the gift shop, she said, “I love coming in here, it’s the best medicine in the world. I saw that hat (a colorful la-dies fedora) and it lit me up. I knew I had to have it.”

Volunteer Pauline Bac-caro helped Barbara and pur-chased her a second fedora when Barbara had difficulty deciding which one to buy and which to leave behind.

Of course, even the casual browser’s eye doesn’t miss the tempting display of con-fections for the sweet tooth.
