The First Baptist Church held its 19th annual Martin Luther King Jr. Celebration on Jan. 11, honoring young members of the community for embodying King’s spirit of social justice and listen-ing to soulful songs courtesy of the Mariachi Academy of Connecticut.

More than 75 people at-tended the event at the church at 581 Meriden Ave.

The theme of the celebra-tion this year was “Reaching Out.” The Rev. Sharon Holt served as master of ceremo-nies and led the group in a short prayer before intro-ducing guest speaker Rob-ert Bourgeois, a professor at Albertus Magnus College in New Haven.

Bourgeois chronicled the history of Latin American immigration in a talk, “Lib-eration Theology, Biblical

MYSTIC — It takes just a few hand motions from trainer Christina Lemno-tis to get Kela, a 33-year old beluga whale, to roll in the water, splash her tail or sing.

Some of those behaviors, which the Southington na-tive rewards with fish, are for the benefit of human audiences. Others, such as rolling over, allow trainers and veterinarians to exam-ine Kela, give her an ultra-sound or brush her teeth.

Lemnotis has been work-ing with animals at Mystic Aquarium for about two years, building up trust with the whales over that time.

“It takes a lot of patience working with animals of any kind, be it a puppy or a whale,” she said.

Lemnotis and other train-ers field questions from the public and explain their jobs on the weekends this month as part of the aquar-ium’s Trainer Days.

While it was a cold day for

trainers feeding the whales on Jan. 9, the weather was perfect for the three belugas who are native to the Arctic Circle.

For some families, nothing beats slapping a hockey puck around in 30-degree weather on an outdoor ice rink and showing off skating skills. Families got to enjoy both last

weekend in Southington and Meriden, where dropping temperatures paved the way for frozen fun.

In Southington, John Mul-rooney and his twin daugh-ters, Nicole and Neya, 10, said they were among the first to take advantage of the commu-

nity ice rink off Mill Street, which opened for the season Jan. 9. John Mulrooney said the family likes to take to the ice “every free minute.”

“This is our favorite (rink) because it’s so close to home,”

Police recover firearms stolen on Christmas Eve

Police recovered more than a dozen firearms that were stolen on Christmas Eve.

Jo s e p h Te s t a , 22 , o f Southington was arrested Dec. 24 and charged with sixth-de-gree larceny, stealing a firearm and criminal possession of a

firearm.Sgt. Jeffrey Dobratz, police

spokesman, said the victim re-ported a burglary at the Vis-conti Drive home about 9 p.m. The victim told police someone had broken into their home and “several” firearms were missing, Dobratz said.

Police determined Testa, a rel-ative of the victim, was a suspect.

Police searched Testa’s home and found a shotgun reported stolen, Dobratz said. Police say Testa is a convicted felon and is prohibited from possessing fire-arms, Dobratz said.

The other stolen firearms were not found in the home at the time, Dobratz said. Testa was arrested and held on $100,000 bond.

On Jan. 8, Dobratz said the other 14 stolen firearms had been located. Dobratz said all the firearms, 12 long guns and two handguns, are all in police custody, though he wasn’t able to elaborate on how they were recovered.

Dobratz said some jewelry that was reported stolen was also found.

The retirement of Capt. Bill Higgins triggered two promo-tions and one new hire in the Southington Fire Department last week.

Higgins started with the department in January 1990, Capt. Tom Donnelly said. Although his retirement has been announced, the date of his last day is not yet official, Capt. Alan Zygmunt said.

At the Board of Fire Com-missioners meeting last week, candidate interviews were held for the soon-to-be vacant captain position, an open lieutenant position and a new firefighter posi-tion. The board selected Lt. Eric Heath to be promoted to captain and firefighter Eric D’Arcy to be promoted to lieutenant. Each has about 16 years of experience with the

department. Jasen Zarcone, of Brookfield, was hired as a new firefighter.

Heath said the board keeps a list of candidates in case of retirements. The list, based on test scores, is updated ev-ery two years. The last test was in June 2013 and Heath said it was the first time he tested for a captain’s position.

“It’s challenging,” Heath said. “We work with a group of dedicated, talented, edu-cated individuals.”

Heath said he studied for six to nine months before tak-ing the most recent test.

Both Heath and D’Arcy said the intensive preparations for the testing came at the loss of spending time with their families.

“It’s a process that when you get to the end its really exciting,” D’Arcy said. “It’s re-ally competitive.”

Whales

“They’re very used to all the snow and the ice,” Lem-notis said.

Each of the three trainers held a shape, such as an X, when approaching the wa-ter. The whales are trained to know which shape is theirs.

Each of the three Belugas has a different personality, Lemnotis said. The youngest, Juno, is the most playful and enjoys interacting with the public. Juno got his 15 min-utes of fame late last year when a video of him playing peek-a-boo with two little children went viral.

Unlike the other older whales, Juno often swims near the viewing glass, Lem-notis said, even pressing his head and face up against it.

“He’s got a very lively per-sonality,” she said. “He tends to find reaction from people

reinforcing.”On Jan. 9, Lemnotis was

feeding Kela the most vocal of the trio.

“He’s got a very lively per-sonality,” she said.

Lemnotis has always worked with animals, start-ing with Hidden Horse Farm and Paw Play in Southington where she grew up. A marine biology course at Southington High School got her inter-ested in marine animals.

After graduating from the University of Rhode Is-land, she spent two intern-

ships with Mystic and got a full-time job. At first she made the commute between Southington and Mystic but has since moved to Rhode Island.

Lemnotis at first just shad-owed more experienced trainers but eventually began doing the feedings and train-ing herself. The fish trainers feed to the whales are used to reinforce behaviors, but it can take weeks or even years for a trainer to communicate what she wants the animal to do.

“It’s a lot of trial and error,” Lemnotis said. With Naluark, one of the older male whales, Lemnotis is working on hav-ing him toss her a ball.

It’s a new skill that freshens up their feeding routine.

“It’s just something fun and different to do with him,” she said. Other behaviors, such as a spiral swim, help show-case how agile Beluga whales can be.

While not the fastest swim-mers, Lemnotis said they are very maneuverable in the water.

Kristen Waddell, a West-erly, R.I. resident, is a senior trainer working with sea li-ons. She’s currently working with some of the younger an-imals, establishing the most fundamental behaviors.

“They’re compared a lot to very intelligent dogs,” Wad-

dell said. Her previous animal experience included primates and small mammals.

With all wild animals, there’s a level of unpredict-ability with them which Waddell said keeps each day exciting.

Waddell was one of three trainers directing sea lions during an indoor show on Friday, which began with the explanation of the difference between those animals and seals.

It’s the most common ques-tion asked and the answer is in the front flippers which are larger and used for swimming and walking in the case of sea lions. For both Lemnotis and Waddell, interacting with the animals is only a small por-tion of their work. The ma-jority of time is cleaning and preparing food, which means inspecting the pounds of fish fed to sea lions and whales every day.

Each fish needs to be in-spected for damage or illness before it’s fed to the animals.

Whales eat between 40 and 80 pounds of fish each day, while the largest sea lion can eat 60 pounds of fish per day.

Waddell said meals are spread throughout the day for the sea lions who in the wild would gorge them-selves on any available food. That means sorting through fish and also giving multiple shows a day.

“You’ve got to get all that ready for five animals,” she said. Waddell said her job isn’t a typical 9 to 5 since someone always needs to care for the sea lions.

“Anyone who works with an animal, you’re working 365 days a year,” she said.

Fitness-conscious individuals understand that flexibility comprises the third leg of the fitness triangle, along with aerobics and strength training. Flexibility, defined as the range of motion about a joint, largely depends on age, genet-ics, physical activity, the joint structure, the elasticity of the connective tissues, and the degree of coordination between the body’s nervous and muscle sys-tems. Chiropractic promotes and maintains flexibility by helping joints achieve a full range of motion. As a result, patients are better able to move their joints further with less exertion. Other benefits include improved muscular balance and posture, reduced muscle soreness, decreased risk of low-back pain, and reduced stress. Maintaining flexibility also promotes independence and self-esteem. Chiropractic benefits people of all ages, from infants to those in their golden years. We can help alleviate specific conditions, as well as help improve our patient’s overall health and well-being. We strive to make each patient feel at ease with quality chiropractic care at 200 Queen St., Southington. We’re currently accepting new patients and encourage you to call 860.621.2225 to schedule an appointment. The answers you need. The care you deserve. P.S. Increased range of joint motion results in decreased risk of injury.

Witness and Latin American Immigration,” and offered possibilities of what Dr. King would have had to say about the immigration debate today.

“What would Dr. King’s ap-proach to immigration be?” Bourgeois asked the audi-ence. He shared a quote from King: “Anyone who lives in-side of the United States can never be considered an out-sider within its bounds.”

After the talk, the Martin Luther King Jr. Award was presented to middle school students Logan McInnis and Erica Golia.

School Superintendent Timothy Connellan was there to present the award and said it was important to not only reflect on King’s legacy but also to recognize young com-munity members exemplify-ing his ideals.

“These students are being recognized because they em-body the spirit and beliefs of Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.: fairness, equity and peace,” Connellan said. “It’s so im-portant for us to celebrate what students do.”

Logan, an eighth-grader at DePaolo Middle School, said he was thankful to be recog-nized in King’s honor.

“(King) was able to make a difference in the world,” he said. “It’s a lot different now because people aren’t segregated.”

The Mariachi Academy of Connecticut, lead by Bour-geois’ wife, Evangeline Men-doza-Bourgeois, sang three songs, somber in tone, to remember King. The music

seemed to capture the strug-gle for equality King fought for, and Mendoza-Bourgeois explained that the lyrics of one song are about saying goodbye to someone leaving, in tribute to the King’s un-timely death.

After the celebration, guests convened for a re-ception of pastries and hors d’oeuvres. Celebration com-mittee member Darlene Steele took Logan aside and explained to him the impor-tance of King’s legacy.

“You can make a differ-ence,” she said, unaware a portrait of Dr. King seemed to be watching from just a few feet away. “You can always make a difference.”

Holt said this year’s cer-emony was especia l ly meaningful.

“This year, given the events in Ferguson and New York City ... we are still so far from the promised land,” she said.

“To honor Martin Luther King Jr. and his legacy is ex-tremely important. We need to keep moving forward; we haven’t gotten there yet.”

The Mulrooneys shared the ice with father and daughter Bob and Sarah Falcetti, who were having a blast flinging a hockey puck around.

Bob Falcetti said he was having fun teaching his daughter the sport.

“It’s just a place to take the kids and enjoy the outdoors a little bit,” he said.

Sarah Falcetti said she likes skating because it’s an activ-ity she can share with her father.

“My dad taught me so it’s fun doing it with him,” she said.

John Mulrooney said last year’s skating season was cut short because vandals tore apart the lining of the ice rink. By the time repairs were made, there was just a week of ice left.

In Meriden, 4-year-old Dominic Hoeing seemed to be having more fun lying on the ice than skating at the newly opened rink at City Park, off Park Avenue. His father, Brian Hoeing, said he brought seven of his eight kids out to enjoy the ice rink on the brisk Sunday after-noon, Jan. 11.

“We used to go to the rink downtown on the Hub but last year it never got cold enough,” he said. “This is perfect; it’s a much better construction.”

Dominic Hoeing rolled on the ice, trying to get up sev-eral times before losing his balance and falling. “Ouch,” he said with a big smile.

A sister, Celicia Hoeing, 14, said she was excited to have a new local rink to skate on.

“We haven’t been able to go skating much so this is awe-some,” she said. “It’s going to be so much fun.”

The Meriden rink was funded by a $25,000 grant from the John D. Martin Foundation.

The Southington rink is open Sunday through Thursday from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. and Friday and Saturday from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. Hockey is permitted Wednesday from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. and Saturday from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m.. More rink information is online at http://www.southington.org/Icerink. Both rinks are free to the public.

Auriemma stops by namesake’s opening

UConn basketball coach Geno Auriemma stopped into his namesake restaurant to greet patrons Jan. 6, the first night of Geno’s Grille.

The restaurant, which re-placed the former Bonterra Grill and Pizzeria on Main Street, had a soft opening over the weekend. Jan. 6 was the first day open to the public. Michael Auriemma, restaurant manager and Geno Auriemma’s son, said his fa-ther stopped in about 7 p.m.

The coach went around to tables greeting people during the busy first evening.

“It was a great crowd,” Mi-chael Auriemma said.

It wasn’ t Geno Au-riemma’s first visit to the restaurant, which has been undergoing renovations since last summer.

“He stopped in about two weeks ago when we finished

construction,” Michael Au-riemma said. The UConn women’s basketball team de-feated Tulsa at the XL Center in Hartford on the following night, in a 98-60 game.

The Southington restau-rant at the corner of Main Street and Columbus Avenue downtown is the latest for the restaurant group owned by Geno Auriemma and his family. Other locations in-clude Geno’s Grille in Storrs and Geno’s Fast Break at the Mohegan Sun Casino. Mi-chael Auriemma worked at the Mohegan Sun location.

Geno’s Grille employs about 40 people, some of whom worked at Bonterra.

The restaurant can hold 140 people and includes a private room with walls lined with wine racks and a sliding wall that reveals a large-screen television.

The interior has been en-tirely renovated with new trim and colors since its Bon-terra days with a redesigned bar and an open layout.

A replica of an NCAA tro-phy stands by the door, along with a rack containing Geno’s line of wines and a case with his pasta sauce.

A national restaurant chain with an emphasis on pasta and noodle dishes will open in March on Queen Street.

Noodles & Company, based in Colorado, is scheduled to open a second Connecticut location at 832 Queen St., in the same plaza as the Puer-toVallarta restaurant. The chain also plans to open a restaurant in Glastonbury.

The franchisee owner is Robert Barton.

“I like Southington in terms of Queen Street because it’s very busy,” said Barton. “It’s a fast-casual (area), close to the highway.”

Barton opened the first Connecticut location in West Hartford in 2012. He said

business has been going well and part of the agreement with Noodles & Company was to develop a “number of units” in the Hartford area.

“This bodes well for Southington because they’re picking demographics such as Glastonbury and West Hartford,” said Lou Perillo, the town’s economic devel-opment coordinator. “From what the broker told me,

Noodles

it’s all fresh food. There’s no walk-in freezer. It’s fresh pasta, noodles, and tofu.”

Noodle dishes, salads, soups, and sandwiches are all on the menu. Each meal is “individu-ally sautéed or prepared” with fresh ingredients, according to Noodles & Company’s website. Dishes are inspired by heritages and cultures around the world.

A dish from Italy is the “Penne Rosa,” which accord-ing to Noodles & Company’s menu, is made with a spicy to-mato cream sauce, penne pasta, mushrooms, tomatoes, spinach, Parmesan and feta cheese.

Another plate is called “In-donesian Peanut Sauce,” made with rice noodles, spicy pea-nut sauce, broccoli, carrots, cabbage, citrus peanuts, Asian sprouts, and cilantro.

“We have a very diverse menu, American, Mediterra-

nean, and Asian-style noodle, but we also have soups, sand-wiches, and salads as well,” Barton said. “It’s a really nice mix. There’s something for everyone.”

Noodles & Company started in 1995 with a concept to “serve fresh fast food” and to “redefine the fast-casual dining industry,” according to its website.

Noodles & Company has about 400 restaurants across the United States, with more than 30 locations on the West Coast, more than 20 on the East Coast, and others throughout the Midwest.

The company slogan is “Your World Kitchen.”

Town Planner Robert Phillips said the business is waiting for a certificate of occupancy but got approval from the Zoning Board of Appeals in November. The restaurant is about 3,000 square feet, Phillips said.

In Brief

Free throw challenge winners

It is common to confuse osteoarthritis and rheuma-toid arthritis as the words are similar.

Besides being the two pre-dominant types of arthritis, OA and RA have very little in common except pain and the limitations they impose on life. The triggers are unclear, though there is evidence that genetics may play a role. With RA, the risk doubles if a person has a first-degree rel-ative with the disease.

When people hear the word “arthritis,” it is often osteoarthritis that they might be thinking of. OA is a degen-erative joint disease that usu-ally affects the knees, hips, lower back, small joints in the hands, and the neck. Causes can be strenuous occupa-tions, playing sports, carrying excess weight and repetitive motions. Over time, the carti-lage on the ends of the bones wears away leaving bone grating on bone at the joints – a very painful condition. This condition primarily im-pacts older people, equally in both sexes.

RA, an autoimmune dis-ease, causes antibodies to

attack the body’s tissues, in-flaming and eventually de-stroying the lining of the joints. This disease can im-pact people of any age, even children. Research shows that three times more women than men develop RA and females experience greater pain and depression.

With OA, the pain and stiffness is usually worse to-ward the end of the day. Peo-ple who have RA experience similar symptoms but pain is mostly in the morning and in greater intensity for sev-eral hours. The inflammation can also produce fatigue, low-grade fevers, weakness, ane-mia and other complications throughout the body. RA can impact as many as 30 differ-ent joints while OA affects a limited number.

RA often leads to greater medical problems includ-ing heart, lung and eye dam-age and, most seriously, cardiovascular disease. Stud-ies indicate RA can shorten a person’s lifespan by as much as three years due to its im-pact on the heart. It can also cause lymphoma.

The diagnosis of RA can be difficult because it often flares up and then subsides, partic-ularly in the early stages. OA

develops gradually over time. With both, patient history is important in addition to a physical examination, testing and other assessments.

Neither disease is cur-able; however RA patients can be treated so as to main-tain full functionality. There are treatments that slow RA progression, and the earlier it is diagnosed the better. Ex-ercise is recommended for both conditions to improve function and mobility. OA treatment includes cold/heat compression, braces, physi-cal therapy, non-steroidal an-ti-inflammatory drugs and/or surgery. Steroids can quickly alleviate the symptoms of RA; however patients with RA need more extensive thera-pies called disease modifica-tion therapies.

Understanding these dis-eases and learning coping and managing strategies can help ease the pain and be instrumental in resuming a more normal life.

Rheumatologist Yousong Wang, M.D., is a member of The Hospital of Central Con-necticut medical staff. He practices at Grove Hill Med-ical Center, 300 Kensington Ave., New Britain.

Published every Friday by the Record-Journal Publishing Co. Delivered by mail to all homes and businesses in Southington, Plantsville, Milldale and Marion.

It’s important to stay ac-tive year round. We do live in New England, so those who spend the entire winter season here — whether by choice or otherwise — know it’s not healthy just sitting around idly burrowing your-self in at home watching foot-ball, basketball, TV dramas, news and whatever else, or playing games and social net-working on your PC or hand-held devices.

Surely, that’s no way for the young, the brave or the young at heart who realize there’s much more in life than clutching your iPhone or your iPad, passively amus-ing your sedentary senses un-til they are close to drying up your gray matter while limit-ing your exercise to picking up the remote and the rapid movement of your thumbs.

So how about getting out, moving about among the ac-tive and the living. I mean, in the flesh, with real people. You might find you actually have time to help someone who really needs it. Or you might get involved in some physical activity making yourself and even the com-munity a little healthier.

Speaking of physical, here’s a thought for the truly brave and the curious. YMCA Ex-ecutive Director John Myers reminds us that the Annual Polar Plunge is tomorrow, Saturday, Jan. 17 at YMCA Camp Sloper. “Get there by 12:30 p.m.,” Meyers said, add-ing, “A large crowd is ex-pected. We want to make sure folks have enough time to catch all the action.” For info, contact Mark Pooler at (860) 621-8194 ext. 604.

If that’s a tad too dar-ing for you, the Southing-ton-Cheshire YMCA has a less challenging, but fun-filled event planned at 5:30 p.m. at the Aqua Turf Club, Wednes-day, Jan. 28. It’s the Y’s 86th annual meeting, a Super Hero evening, honoring some won-derful people in town who are making Southington a better place to live. People such as Dawn Miceli (Person of the Year), Southington Educa-tion Foundation (Reaching Out Award), Nancy Chiero (Unsung Hero Award), Jus-tine Griffin, Sarah Lamb and Trevor Rogers (Youth Lead-ership Award), Tina Asido, Tony Michaud, Lisa Whitaker and Mary Yuskis (Volunteer Service Award).

Holiday helpersTo the editor:Southington Community

Services would like to thank all the individuals and groups who made our holiday pro-grams such a huge success. Due to the generosity of our community, 562 families (1,274 individuals) were able to en-joy a Thanksgiving meal; 613 families (1,446 individuals) received a Christmas meal;

and 627 families (1,472 indi-viduals) received Christmas gifts. Even during the busy holiday time, our community members are always willing to give their neighbor a help-ing hand. Some volunteered to work on various projects, some donated gifts and/or gift cards, some delivered food baskets or Christmas gifts — the list goes on and on. So many people were in-volved in making our clients’

holidays cheery, it would be impossible to name them all. But one thing we know for sure is that without the help of each and every one of you, the holidays would not have been as magical for some people as it was this year.

Thank you, thank you, thank you – we just can’t say it enough.

Letters to the Editor


A visit to Paul Gregory’s restaurant

Patrons at Paul Gregory’s restaurant, 148 Center St., recently were asked what brought them out to the eatery.

Lisa Barnes, Southington: (It’s) a routine for us, about once a week. We love their chopped salad.

Sean Sullivan, Meriden: We come here occasionally. I like their unique style of sandwiches and the chopped salad.

C a s i e M e s s i n a , Southington: My sister-in-law and I meet here about twice a month. It’s quiet, comfort-able and they offer unusual choices in their large cups of soup.

N a n c y S c h m i d t , Cheshire-Southington line: Fran and I are getting ready to go on vacation and prefer

not to cook now. I ordered the Walking Tour house roast beef sandwich.

Jim Simeone, Lebanon: I work for a beer distributor and happen to be in this area. I like their home-cooked food

here. M a u r e e n G a g n o n ,

Southington: Just picking up lunch from next door at Coil Pro. (in Factory Square). It’s a convenient option for a good lunch.

At first it sounds like a story of only local interest: McDonald’s wants to tear down its restaurant on North Colony Road in Wallingford and rebuild it, smaller.

That’s right: as reported Jan. 6, the plan is to ditch the kiddie corral — that is, the PlayPlace in the front — and shrink the building to make room for a two-lane drive-thru. A few thoughts:

I wonder how we got to a time when the archaic word “through” is disappearing in favor of “thru” — as in “drive-thru.” I’d like to blame our neighbors to the west, with their New York State Thruway, but that modernis-tic word actually predates the building of their famous highway system.

More to the point, I think we can read quite a bit into the plan for 680 N. Colony. If sta-tistics about the fast-food industry are to be believed, almost two-thirds of the revenue at a McDonald’s now comes in through the drive-up window, and I can’t help noticing how empty the dining areas of many of these Scottish restaurants look these days — how few people you see sitting down in their kilts and enjoying some haggis as you drive through (or thru). Oh, many loca-tions do have a kaffeeklatsch of local old-timers who gather each morning, but once they drive off in their Buicks, the dining area is largely wasted space. (For whatever reason, drive-thru sales account for only 38 percent of the business at chicken restaurants.)

The other part of a McDonald’s that often looks alarmingly empty, from a profit-per-square-foot point of view, is the PlayPlace — that is, if the location even

has a PlayPlace, which not too many McDonald’s (“McDonaldses”? “McDon-ald’ses”?) do. Why? Well, probably because most kids,

like their parents, never get out of the car; they’re too busy scarfing down burg-ers and sugary drinks in the back seat. And maybe the parents are worried about other kids’ germs, or possi-

ble injuries. And then there must be corporate folks who are only too happy to get rid of the tot-atorium, because it provides so many opportu-nities for lawsuits. Suffice it to say that a natural appetite for profit is driving the need for the two-lane drive-thru — which, it seems, will come with improved “speaker clarity” and the addition of workers called “auto greet-ers.” (We may have encoun-

tered these guys already; when the person at the win-dow looks like she couldn’t possibly be the deep-voiced fellow who took your order, I wonder whether the voice on the speaker might actu-ally be coming to you from McD headquarters out in Illinois, maybe even from a Hamburger University undergrad.)

Anyway, one place that already has two lanes is the

McDonald’s on the Ber-lin Turnpike in Newington, which once was an old-timey “golden arches” loca-tion and a hangout for teens, so long ago that it offered a burger, an order of fries and a shake for 15 cents each — the 45-cent McDonald’s “meal.” (That’s right, I’m one of those old-timers, too; I just haven’t picked up my Buick yet.)

Where was I? Oh, for more information along these lines you can go to mcdon-alds.com (“A place where a little lovin’ conquers all”), and read all about how Dick and Mac McDonald opened McDonald’s Bar-B-Q Restau-rant in San Bernardino, Calif., in 1940; and how Ray Kroc opened his first Mc-Donald’s in Des Plaines, Ill., in 1955 and his 100th restau-rant just four years later and his 5,000th (in Kanagawa, Japan) in 1978; and that Nov. 20 was designated “McHappy Day” in 2002; and that the Shamrock Shake was first offered nationwide in 2012.

Now, isn’t that interesting?

Kaitlyn O’Donnell has won state titles in her first two years as head coach of the Southington gymnastics team. With the majority of the team returning, a three-peat could be on the horizon.

“That’s definitely our goal,” O’Donnell said as she and the Blue Knights prepared for the beginning of their 2015 sea-son.. “Last year, we had a hard time with consistency. This year, we want to be more con-sistent. Our consistency will help us in the postseason.”

Last year, the Blue Knights defended their CIAC Class L championship. They went on to finish third at the State Open and fifth at the New En-gland Open.

From that team, the Blue Knights return four of their f ive All-State gymnasts. Kayla Nati, a two-year cap-tain, was the lone All-Stater to graduate.

“She’s a big loss for us,” O’Donnell said. “She pro-vided a lot of leadership and was a strong performer for us.”

The leadership will now be handled by senior tri-cap-tains Sarah Leahy, Lexi Roth-stein and Marilyn Sporbert. Rothstein and Sporbert are coming off of All-State sea-sons. Leahy is looking to make up for a season lost to knee injuries.

“Sarah didn’t compete at all last year after she got hurt in preseason with injuries to her PCL and MCL,” O’Don-nell said. “She is going to be

a big addition for us after she had solid freshman and soph-omore seasons.”

Vicky Castillo (All-State) and Jessie Kane highlight the Knights’ returning juniors. Taryn Meenan (All-State) and Kayla Birmingham were key members as last year’s squad as freshmen. They will take on bigger roles as sophomores.

“We have a lot of depth this year,” O’Donnell said. “Our whole team from New England’s last year is back, plus a bunch of new girls. We return almost a full lineup and it may be tough for the freshmen to crack the start-ing lineup.”

Southington has 15 gym-nasts on its roster this winter.

Girls basketball

Northwest Catholic 49, Southington 37: The assault that came after the halftime break was as quick as it was decisive.

Northwest Catholic used a run at the start of the third quarter to expand a small lead, then another at the start of the fourth to roll past the previously unbeaten Blue Knights, 49-37, in a clash be-tween two of the top teams in the CCC West.

The Knights trailed 23-21 when Northwest (6-2, 2-1 CCC West) opened the third quarter with an 11-0 run. Na-talie Wadalowski, who car-ried the Knights’ offense for the brunt of the evening, was in foul trouble. The Indians’ halfcourt trap was produc-ing transition hoops and the shots weren’t falling for the rest of the Knights.

The Knights rallied at the end of the quarter with Wadolowski scoring on four straight possessions, but Northwest spurted again to start the fourth and kept the lead in the 10-point range the rest of the way.

Wadlowski scored a game-high 18 points and intrepid sophomore point guard Mag-gie Meehan added 12, but the Knights were unable to con-nect from beyond the arc at all.

F a r m i n g t o n 5 5 , Southington 48: The In-dians remained undefeated with the CCC West win in Southington, but it didn’t come easily.

Farmington, which had been beating teams by an av-erage of 30 points, faced its toughest challenge in a game that was tight all the way.

Hannah Friend led the Indi-ans (7-0, 4-0) with 20 points. Cheray Saunders added 12 and Sophie Borg figured in with 11.

Southington’s Natalie Wadolowski led all scorers with 21 points. Kaitlin Pa-terson knocked down five 3-pointers en route to 15 points for Southington (7-2, 2-2 West).

Boys swimming and diving

Southington 94, Meriden Co-op 71: A sweep of the re-lays and individual victo-ries from Nick Brazil, Kevin Corcoran and Eric Bender earned the Southington boys swimming team a 94-71 CCC interdivisional victory over the Meriden Co-op.

Brazil won the 50-yard freestyle in 24.45 seconds and swam on all three first-place relays for the Blue Knights in combination with Zack Blake and P.J. Ramsay.

The trio was joined by Matt Duszak on the 200 medley (1:50.81), Mack Golos on the 200 freestyle (1:41.12) and Bender on the 400 free (3:49.25).

Individually, Bender won the 100 backstroke in 1:04.09. Corcoran captured the 100 butterfly in 1:01.82.

Southington 91, Man-chester 79: Swimming is one of those sports that richly re-wards depth. The latest proof came in Southington’s CCC interdivisional meet with Manchester.

Manchester won every event except one, but with the Blue Knights racking up virtually every second, third and fourth-place finish, they steadily pulled away to a 91-79 victory and a 2-0 start to the season.

Southington, in fact, was al-ready in the lead, 58-52, when it scored its lone victory in

Knight Notes

Well, it’s officially winter. Even though golf courses are covered with snow, there

are still ways you can im-prove your golf game and stay warm at the same time.

Putting is such an important part of the game. The cliché, “drive for show, and putt for

dough” is a very true state-ment. The average player puts a premium on the full swing and often hits balls on the driving range rather than spend time on the putting

green. What that player fails to realize is that nearly 40 percent of your total score will come from putts. So while we all are stuck inside this winter, let’s really focus on improving our putting.

Putting is a combination of two things; the first is dis-tance. In order to succeed in limiting the amounts of putts per round, you need to hit putts with the correct speed so they go the correct dis-tance. A great tip to control the distance you hit a putt is to remember one simple equation: backstroke equals follow-through. The distance you bring the putter back should equal the distance you follow-through with.

A great drill you can work on at home to control put-

ting distance goes as follows: take two phone books and place one of them one foot behind your putter. Then, take the other phone book and place it one foot in front of your putter. Without hit-ting a ball, just bring the putter back and forth trying to barely tap each phone book. This is a great, sim-ple drill to practice having your backstroke equal your follow-through.

The second part of put-ting is direction. If you do not hit a putt in the correct direction, the ball will not go in the hole, or be anywhere close. It is very import-ant to keep the putter head “square” to control direc-

Local racers were off and running fast on courses around New England this past weekend. The UConn ski team started the season on a cold, bright morning at Okemo Mountain in Ver-mont last Thursday.

“The men had two solid fourth place finishes in team standings,” said coach Larry Gianatti about the opening events. “On the women’s course, Kelsey Carlette con-tinues to make an impact on college ski racing, with two third place finishes in the opening races.”

In the women’s GS, Car-lette, a former Cheshire High racer, finished third among the 72 racers. In Fri-day’s slalom she captured her second bronze medal of the young season.

UConn’s Richard Scanlon finished ninth in Friday’s GS. Former Southington High racer Bobby Chambers fin-

ished 11th and Griffin Struyk came in 16th out of 75 racers. The Huskies finished the GS in fourth place among the nine competing teams.

Friday was a very cold, gray day with light snow falling when the UConn team went up Okemo Moun-tain for the slalom. When all was said and done, Struyk had finished seventh out of 80 racers and led the team to another fourth place in team scoring. Ian Wolf finished eighth with Chambers in 15th, followed by Scanlon.

Former Blue Knight racer Austin Florian, now a mem-ber of the Clarkson Uni-versity team, finished 14th in both races. The Clark-son team came in first place during the opening races.

The Mount Southington ski team racers were blazing trails all around the state last Sunday.

In the slalom for U-12 and U-14 racers at the local hill, the home team placed five racers in the top 10 in both the boys and girls events. Ashley Spreng took the gold and Elise Namnoum fin-ished third out of 56 girls in the race. Kaylie Fryer was sixth and Caroline Williams finished eighth followed by Merrill Bright in 10th.

In the slalom for U-12 and U-14 boys the local team again conquered the moun-tain, placing seven racers in the top 15 out of 75 total rac-ers. Mattheu Fryer took the gold medal, Caleb Richert the silver, and John Emerson rounded out the podium in third place. Peter Simplicio finished fourth, Philip Kaf-tan was sixth, and Gunnar Desantis took home seventh place.

On Sunday, Powder Ridge was the venue for a U-10 Gi-ant Slalom race. Among the 30 little racers in the event, Mount Southington placed three in the top eight. Jack

Gymnastics

That’s an upward trend. Last year, the Blue Knights num-bered 11. The year before that, only seven.

Southington will also be carrying some independent gymnasts. Chief among them is Platt junior Kamrin Daw-kins, a state title contender. Sheehan junior Alyssa Ali-chimo will also train with Southington this season, along with two gymnasts from Branford.

A three-peat wouldn’t be unprecedented for Southington. The Blue Knights won four state championships in a row from 2005-2008.

the 200-yard freestyle relay midway through the meet.

Seniors Nick Brazil and Mack Golos teamed with ju-nior John Stevens and sopho-more P.J. Ramsey in that race. They touched in 1:41.93.

Individually, Ramsey and senior Matt Duszak quali-fied for the state meets with second-place times. Ramsey swam a 23.88 in the 50 free and Duszak recorded a 1:08.10

in the 100 breaststroke. Class LL qualifying standards in those events are 23.99 and 1:08.53.

Indoor track

McReavy Invitational: Southington’s Sean Garri-son won the 1600 meters and Sheehan’s Michaela Mendy-gral captured the shot put at the annual meet at Wesleyan University.

Garrison crossed in 4:47.10

to win in just under three sec-onds. Mendygral threw for 37 feet and won by 4 feet, 7 inches.

The meet, sponsored by Sheehan and named after former Cheshire coach Ron McReavy, drew 21 teams.

Southington placed second in the girls 4x400. Erin Ange-lillo, Faith Richie, Raquel Ro-mano and Jami Pliego ran a 4:29.55.

tion. If the putter head does not square-up at impact, you can easily miss putts left or right.

A great drill to help work on controlling the direction of your putting is the “quar-ter drill.” Take two quar-ters and place them on the ground, with one quarter just outside the toe of the putter, and place the other quarter just outside the heel of the putter. With the quar-ters in place, you can now take the putter and make a normal putting stroke be-tween the quarters. The object of the drill is to make a putting stroke without hit-ting either of the quarters. You can do the drill with a golf ball or without, but the whole purpose of the drill is to learn how to keep the put-ter head square.

So while you are sitting indoors, looking out at the snow, do your golf game a fa-vor and grab your putter and work on these simple drills. There is not a doubt that your putting will improve by the spring.

Marc Bayram is PGA Head Golf Professional at Timberlin Golf Club.

C H I CAG O ( A P ) — Free-agent outfielder and Southington native Chris De-norfia has completed a $2.6

million, one-year contract with the Chi-cago Cubs.

Denorfia played for San Diego and Seattle last season, batting .230 with three homers and

21 RBIs in 121 games. He was traded to the Mariners on July 31.

The 34-year-old, who

played at Choate Rosemary Hall, can earn an additional $400,000 in performance bonuses under the agree-ment: $100,000 each for 400, 450, 500 and 550 plate appearances.

Denorfia was selected by Cincinnati in the 19th round of the 2002 amateur draft and made his major league debut with the Reds in 2005. He is a .272 hitter in 705 games with Cincinnati, Oakland, San Di-ego and Seattle.

Left-hander Mike Kickham was designated for assign-ment to make room on the Cubs’ 40-man roster.

CONSERVATION LESSON

In December, Fred Murray, and Val and Shari Guarino, members of the Southington Land Conservation Trust, visited Pack 33 Cub Scouts at South End School. Cub Scouts learned about forestry, conservation, and Connecticut wildlife. The presentation included a slideshow and a hands-on demonstration of how wildlife has affected trees. The scouts also learned what they could do to help forests thrive. The entire Pack 33 attended the event, which also helped the Webelos den earn the forestry badge.

GREAT STUFF
