Scouts Collect Four Tons of Food for Hebron Interfaith<br />
Ross Silberquit (left) and Billy Czaja, who served as the<br />
project coordinators for the Scouting for Food annual drive,<br />
were all smiles at the end of the day, leaving the Food Bank<br />
well stocked for a couple of months.<br />
The annual Scouting for Food project, held Saturday, April 12,<br />
was amazingly successful! Approximately four tons of food was<br />
collected for the Hebron Interfaith Human Services’ (HIHS)<br />
Food Bank, thanks to the generosity of Hebron residents.<br />
This event is a joint project between Hebron Pack 28 Cub<br />
Scouts and Hebron Troop 28 Boy Scouts. The Cub Scouts<br />
and their parents were primarily responsible for distributing<br />
food bags to every Hebron mailbox. “Cub Scouts from Pack<br />
28, ranging from the first through fourth grades, delivered<br />
the Scouting for Food bags to their neighbors, covering nearly<br />
every home in Hebron. The role that these young Scouts play<br />
in conducting this community service project is important, and<br />
the Scouts are pleased to help with this initiative,” said Karen<br />
Desjardins, Pack 28 Food Drive Committee Chair.<br />
“Scouting for Food is a service project that many troops have.<br />
The pre-printed Scouting for Food bags are provided by Shop<br />
Rite for the Northeast Region Boy Scouts of America,” said<br />
Billy Czaja, one of the project’s two coordinators.<br />
According to Terry Young, Director of HIHS, the good news<br />
is that the donations will last 2-3 months. The bad news is<br />
the four tons of food will only last 2-3 months.<br />
Ross Silberquit,<br />
who also coordinated<br />
the massive effort,<br />
said, “When we first<br />
got there, we were<br />
amazed to find the<br />
shelves at the food<br />
bank almost bare.”<br />
But six hours later,<br />
the shelves were full,<br />
and HIHS was ready<br />
for business.<br />
Young had nothing<br />
but praise for the<br />
Scouts and parents<br />
When the Scouts of Hebron’s Pack 28<br />
and Troop 28 first arrived at the HIHS<br />
Food Bank on April 12, they found<br />
most of the shelves close to empty.<br />
who participated in the food drive. “The boys were unbelievable;<br />
they were so well-coordinated and organized. The place<br />
was spotless when they left, and the food was well-placed on<br />
the shelves. Even the tuna fish was organized by brand!” she<br />
said.<br />
“If you include all the planning work to lay out the routes and<br />
driving maps, putting out the food bags, collecting the donations<br />
and placing the items on the shelves, the total project<br />
involved 100 Scouts, 93 adults, and 449 volunteer hours,”<br />
said Czaja.<br />
HIHS Food Bank currently serves about 100 Hebron families.<br />
“I can’t say enough about these young men and how their efforts<br />
have positively impacted our Hebron community,” said<br />
Young. “We’re very grateful not only for their work on this<br />
food drive but also the inspiration they provide. In the end,<br />
they demonstrate the concept of neighbors helping neighbors<br />
through their actions.”<br />

Smart Computing Begins With Backing UP Your Computer!<br />
Beep, Beep, Beep…<br />
I’m glad you decided to read this article especially if you use a<br />
computer. The hard drive is where your important information,<br />
pictures and data are stored. Consider this:<br />
It is not, IF your hard drive will fail, it is WHEN!<br />
The information in this article is important and if practiced can<br />
ensure many years of happy computing.<br />
Some hard drives last for years and can out live the rest of the<br />
computer’s parts, while others fail after a week of operation and<br />
even the first few hours of operation. It is not uncommon for a<br />
new computer to have its hard drive crash within days or weeks<br />
You’re NOT<br />
backing up<br />
your<br />
data??<br />
Don’t wait<br />
until<br />
disaster comes !<br />
• Hard Drive Crashes • Viruses<br />
• Hackers • Data Corruption<br />
• Fire • Flood • Natural Disasters<br />
• Disgruntled Employees • Theft<br />
• Human Error<br />
A swarm of common data loss risks<br />
threaten to destroy your data instantly:<br />
Your computer files are the lifeblood of your<br />
business, and your hard drive is the keeper of all<br />
your hard work.<br />
Set up your FREE 30-day<br />
trial today!<br />
of using it. It doesn’t seem to matter whether the computer is<br />
used a lot or sparingly; the hard drive is always a gamble.<br />
A hard drive has moving parts that can wear out and break up<br />
and get “out of sync.” It is always spinning, reading and writing.<br />
Hard drives in laptops take a beating just being moved around<br />
while they are working.<br />
You need to be aware that you can lose your valuable information,<br />
music, pictures, and data in a split second.<br />
It is possible to recover data from a failed hard drive. We Computer<br />
Tamers can often recover the data from a failed hard drive<br />
providing the entire mechanical assembly hasn’t broken up.<br />
If that happens, there are services that will rebuild the drive.<br />
We Computer Tamers can refer you to companies that “work<br />
miracles” in recovering data. Of course these services cost thousands<br />
of dollars. Our technicians use a device that connects to<br />
the failed hard drive and a sophisticated collection of programs<br />
that intelligently recover the data and stores it on one of our<br />
servers. This process costs hundreds instead of thousands.<br />
To avoid the costs of recovering data from a failed hard drive we<br />
recommend that you backup your important data on a regular<br />
basis; this includes your music and pictures. You can do this with<br />
a USB thumb drive, CD-R, DVD, an external USB hard drive,<br />
or an online service. You can investigate an economical service for<br />
backing up data by visiting our website – TheComputerTamers.<br />
com. Businesses need to pay close attention and check out the<br />
options for backing up their data. I’ve seen grown businessmen<br />
and businesswomen breakdown and cry when they’ve learned<br />
that their important business data cannot be recovered from a<br />
failed hard drive.<br />
To avoid a nervous breakdown or the cost of reconstituting your<br />
information, begin the habit of backing up your data. Everyone<br />
should do it so that they don’t lose valuable and irreplaceable<br />
pictures, your music collection, and documents.<br />
A local computer service center can help you understand how<br />

to backup your computer and offer suggestions for media,<br />
frequency and what to backup. Storing your backup files is as<br />
important as backing up regularly. You must protect the backedup<br />
data by storing it in a safe and fireproof location; preferably<br />
offsite, at a friend’s house for example.<br />
You don’t have a “time machine” to use to go back in time to get<br />
your data back, but you can think ahead and institute a routine<br />
to backup your data.<br />
REMEMBER IT IS NOT IF YOUR COMPUTER’S HARD<br />
DRIVE WILL FAIL, BUT WHEN IT WILL FAIL.<br />
Consider yourself warned! Backing up your computer makes<br />
good sense and takes only a few minutes. So form a habit of<br />
doing it. Anything else is taking unnecessary chances.<br />
Visit a local computer service center and learn more about safe<br />
computing. I know our technicians are ready and willing to<br />
help you understand how to enjoy happy computing through<br />
safe computing and regular maintenance.<br />

Christ Lutheran Early Childhood Center has a new Traditional Preschool teacher.<br />
Miss Cheryl Anderson reads to the children<br />
in the 4 year old Traditional Preschool<br />
class at Christ Lutheran Early Childhood<br />
Center in Hebron.<br />
Miss Cheryl Anderson<br />
joined the<br />
CLECC team in<br />
July of 2006. She<br />
has been teaching<br />
the Pre-Kindergarten<br />
program and<br />
is currently transitioning<br />
into being<br />
the lead teacher of<br />
the Traditional Preschool<br />
program. In addition to Cheryl becoming the new lead<br />
teacher of the program, CLECC has made some changes to the<br />
4 year old class. Starting in the fall of <strong>2008</strong> the 4 year old Traditional<br />
Preschool class will be from 9:00 to 1:00. The students<br />
will be able to stay for lunch and get a better idea of what a day<br />
in Kindergarten will be like.<br />
Arts in Religious Education. One of her favorite things about<br />
her job is “enjoying ‘messy’ projects of cooking, art and science<br />
while incorporating language and math skills.” Cheryl says that<br />
she “has been blessed with the opportunity to provide children<br />
with a classroom full of adventures from dramatic play to story<br />
writing to block sculptures.” Outside of CLECC, Cheryl is a<br />
Youth Group leader, she was a Sunday school superintendent<br />
for four years and she is a Confirmation class leader.<br />
We at CLECC count ourselves as blessed to have Cheryl on our<br />
team. We encourage you to learn more about Cheryl and all of<br />
our programs by stopping by our center or visiting our website<br />
www.clshebron.org.<br />
Cheryl is a lifetime resident of Colchester. She has an Associates<br />
degree in Early Childhood Education and is going into her fifteenth<br />
year of experience in Early Childhood Education. Cheryl’s<br />
Bachelors degree is in Psychology with a focus on Children and<br />
Youth. Currently, she is working toward a Masters degree in<br />

People have probably wondered what that<br />
circle of rocks just east of Chestnut Hill Road<br />
represented. That is, if they could even see<br />
the odd arrangement!<br />
It’s Hebron’s “Old Town Pound,” an almost<br />
forgotten landmark that is an important<br />
part of our town’s history. Most Connecticut<br />
towns at one point in time had a “town<br />
pound” to hold errant cattle and livestock<br />
until they could be reclaimed by their owners<br />
(usually after paying a fine.) It was also a<br />
way of saving the grass on the Green, which<br />
the hungry animals were more than happy<br />
to eat all the way to the roots.<br />
Thanks to documentation given to Hebron Historical Society<br />
by the family of the late Donald Robinson, current Society<br />
members learned the pound and the parcel of land it sits on<br />
were deeded to the Town of Hebron on July 24, 1989 by Rod<br />
McCorrison and Stonecroft Associates.<br />
Once it was confirmed that the town still owned the pound,<br />
Nicholas Aubin quickly volunteered to restore the area for his<br />
Eagle project. Working closely with the Society and the Board<br />
of Selectmen, Aubin began planning late last year. In addition,<br />
he also worked with Bill Drinkuth and Mimi Tyler since the<br />
pound abuts one of Mohegan Land Trust’s nature trails.<br />
Old Town Pound Comes to Life<br />
Donna McCalla<br />
Troop 28 Scouts, leaders and local<br />
residents were pleased with the<br />
results of their labor. Hebron’s Old<br />
Town Pound is now ready to receive<br />
visitors curious about this almost<br />
forgotten landmark.<br />
On Saturday, May 10, Aubin and his crew<br />
of fellow Troop 28 Scouts cleared the overgrown<br />
bramble bushes and trees that have<br />
obscured the pound for several decades. In<br />
addition, those portions of the stone wall<br />
that had fallen have been restored, with assistance<br />
from local expert Tom Clark, and<br />
a replica gate now replaces the old gate that<br />
had fallen to wood rot. Fred Brehant and<br />
Country Carpenters worked with Aubin to<br />
build the new gate by hand. The Scouts<br />
also laid wood chips inside and around the<br />
perimeter of the monument, thanks to the<br />
efforts of Andy Tierney, Director of Public<br />
Works, in providing the chips and crushed<br />
stone for the pathway to the pound.<br />
“I live in the neighborhood,” said Aubin, “and I’ve walked by<br />
the pound often throughout the years. It was the perfect Eagle<br />
project for me.”<br />
Aubin and his family, David, Caroline and Parker, plan to<br />
formally open the landmark to the public on <strong>June</strong> 21, the same<br />
day as residents and visitors celebrate Hope Valley Neighborhood<br />
Day. Small – but friendly – animals will be on hand to<br />
recreate the original purpose and use of a town pound. Sitting<br />
just next to the Jeremy Brook, it’s a peaceful site, and well worth<br />
the visit.<br />

Two Hebron Homes Designated as Historic Properties<br />
On May 1, the Hebron Board of Selectmen voted unanimously<br />
to modify local Ordinance 94-1, naming the Cyr house at 192<br />
Hope Valley Road and the Albert house at 233 Millstream Road<br />
as local historic properties.<br />
The designations, proposed last year by the Hebron Historic<br />
Properties Commission, conclude a lengthy process outlined<br />
by Connecticut State Statutes Section 7: 147.<br />
“As stated at the public hearing, this first step in designating<br />
residential homes as historic properties is truly a significant<br />
advancement in preserving Hebron history,” said Selectman<br />
Mark Stuart.<br />
The property at 192 Hope Valley Road has been owned by<br />
Craig F. and Jean E. Cyr since 1974. Dating back to Nathaniel<br />
Phelps, Jr., the house is thought to have been built around 1734.<br />
Phelps was elected the town’s first “innkeeper” in 1712, and<br />
his father, Nathaniel Phelps, Sr., was one of Hebron’s original<br />
founders in 1704.<br />
Keith and Jennifer Albert, with their children Daniela and<br />
Shane, proudly display the new historic properties plaque on<br />
their Millstread Road home.<br />
“We’re very pleased to nominate two residential properties for<br />
the first time as historic properties,” said Deena Watson, Chairman<br />
of Hebron Historic Properties Commission. “There have<br />
been many misunderstandings about what historic designation<br />
means, but it does not mean that paint color, window replacement,<br />
and types of roof shingles, for example, are subject to<br />
scrutiny. Local historic designation is designed to preserve the<br />
street view of the home for future generations. Hopefully, other<br />
owners of historical homes will follow the Cyrs and the Alberts<br />
in applying for local historic designation.”<br />
Craig and Jean Cyr have spent many years restoring their home<br />
on Hope Valley Road. Recently, they built an addition to the<br />
house that is in keeping with the historic nature of the house.<br />
The Cyrs are also known for producing spring sweets at their<br />
Hope Valley Sugar Farm, also located on their property.<br />
“We are very pleased to have this designation,” said the Cyrs.<br />
“Hebron has been our home for decades, and we are committed<br />
to doing our part in preserving our town’s valuable history.”<br />
Equally excited about historic designation were Keith G. and Jennifer<br />
M. Albert, owners of the property at 233 Millstream Road.<br />
“I’m here tonight because obviously I support this designation,”<br />
said Albert at the public hearing. “It’s very exciting to know our<br />
home will be recognized for its role in Hebron’s history.”<br />
The Albert house also dates back to the 18 th century, and was<br />
originally built by the Tarbox family. At least two important<br />
mills were located on the original property; Millstream Road<br />
in general was a thriving source of commerce for early Hebron.<br />
The Alberts purchased the property from Barbara Leary in 2004.<br />
Like Mrs. Leary, the Alberts keep horses on the property, and<br />
in 2006, moved a historic barn from South Windsor to their<br />
property, where it was carefully restored.<br />

Washington Phillips- Born to Sing the Gospel<br />
There are few songs covered<br />
by the many artists as<br />
diverse as: Vince Gill, Ry<br />
Cooder, Barry McGuire,<br />
the 77’s, Sister Rosetta<br />
Tharpe, Jimmy Scott,<br />
Jorma Kaukonenen and<br />
Mike Bloomfield. Yet,<br />
Washington Phillips, the<br />
man who wrote and originally<br />
recorded the widelyrecorded<br />
“Denomination<br />
Blues” lived and died in relative obscurity. Since its release the<br />
CD, ‘I Was Born To Sing The Gospel - The Complete Recorded<br />
Works Of Washington Phillips’ has been a steady seller for blues<br />
specialist Yazoo Records. His haunting and elegant approach<br />
to denominationalism remains in the repertoires of numerous<br />
blues, folk and rock artists.<br />
George Washington Phillips was born to sharecroppers Houston<br />
Phillips and Emma Titus. He started life as a farmer and was<br />
then called as an itinerant preacher. In 1927 the legendary A& R<br />
man, Frank Walker (who discovered Blind Willie Johnson) was<br />
traveling through Texas looking for talent to record and came<br />
across a performer who, he later admitted, fascinated him - a<br />
gospel singer who accompanied himself on the rare, zither-like<br />
dolceola.<br />
The two oldest recordings on the CD are: Rev Charles A Tindley’s<br />
popular, “Take Your Burden To The Lord And Leave It There;”<br />
and another popular song of 1920’s, “Lift Him Up, That’s All,”<br />
a song based on the Gospel of John and sung to the melody of<br />
an older hymn, “The Great Reaping Day”.<br />
The brisk sales of this record resulted in the recording of what<br />
is arguably Phillip’s most well known song “Denomination<br />
Blues,”( recorded in 12/1927). A highlight of this song is the<br />
The Hebronian March <strong>2008</strong> Page 10<br />
practice of calling the Denomination Train (the calling out of a<br />
string of various religious groups by name). The melody of this<br />
song is the same melody of WC Handy’s Hesitation Blues- a<br />
melody which Handy claimed to have written. The true origin<br />
of the melody is not known. What is known is that Denomination<br />
Blues created a new style of music which would be called<br />
the “Holy Blues”.<br />
In 1928, Phillips recorded another original song based again on<br />
John’s Gospel ,”I Am Born To Preach The Gospel”. Beginning<br />
with a spoken introduction, he borrowed the tune of “I Wouldn’t<br />
Mind Dying” for the refrain. The song is highlighted by Phillips<br />
sermonizing on poorly educated and backsliding preachers. It<br />
was during this same recording session that Phillips recorded<br />
a personal favorite, “What are They Doing in Heaven Today.”<br />
Check out Little Jimmy Scott’s unique jazz version.<br />
Arguably Phillip’s greatest musical triumph is the emotional “I<br />
Had A Good Mother And Father.” Phillip’s poetry combined<br />
with the sound of the dolceola and his unique falsetto singing<br />
worked to create a Gospel masterpiece. Sadly, this song received<br />
the least exposure. It was not even released for decades later. Soon<br />
after his final session, Phillips disappeared. It was reported that<br />
he had died and until recently his death was accepted as fact.<br />
Recent research by Michael Corcoran shows that Phillips did<br />
not die. He simply retired as a farmer and lived on until the age<br />
of 74 when he died in 1954 from head injuries. One might say<br />
that Washington Phillips knew that God had given him eighteen<br />
songs – that he didn’t want to take a chance and record<br />
a nineteenth. Do yourself a favor and listen to those 18 songs<br />
on “I Was Born to Sing the Gospel - the Complete Recorded<br />
Works of Washington Phillips.<br />
The music of Washington Phillips can be heard on the Festival<br />
of Gospel Music.<br />

Elementary Students Learn More<br />
About Hebron’s Early History<br />
Donna McCalla<br />
What an exciting day for students at Hebron Elementary School<br />
on May 1 st !<br />
Chris Ambrose, a substitute teacher at both Hebron Elementary<br />
and Gilead Hill schools, gave a presentation on Hebron’s early<br />
history to grades 3-6. The event was held in the multipurpose<br />
room.<br />
To set the mood, Ambrose appeared in vintage clothing. “I borrowed<br />
the hat, vest and knapsack from Mr. Jones,” said Ambrose.<br />
“But I had to buy my own shirt and pants because his wouldn’t fit<br />
me!” he said, to loud laughter from the kids. Sixth grade teacher<br />
James Jones is well known as a seasoned historical reenactor – and<br />
is also noticeably smaller in frame than Ambrose.<br />
Entitled “Hebron: The First Hundred Years – Churches, Heroes<br />
and Conflicts”, Ambrose focused on a variety of themes,<br />
including the numerous attempts by St. Peters Church to have<br />
an ordained minister (they all died<br />
either in transit to England or from<br />
small pox while awaiting ordination<br />
in the mother country). He also<br />
engaged the audience in the famous<br />
incident in which Reverend Samuel<br />
Peters was threatened with tar and<br />
feathering by the Sons of Liberty,<br />
only to be rescued at the final hour<br />
by one of Hebron’s most famous, and<br />
well-respected, ministers, Benjamin<br />
Pomeroy.<br />
Chris Ambrose, a popular<br />
The event was sponsored by the<br />
substitute teacher and<br />
seasoned actor, recently Hebron Elementary School Parent<br />
presented “Hebron: Teacher Association. “Chris approached<br />
us with this idea. With<br />
The First Hundred Years<br />
-- Churches, Heroes and<br />
Hebron’s 300 th birthday going on<br />
Conflicts” at Hebron<br />
Elementary to all grade this year, and knowing his abilities<br />
with the children, we thought<br />
levels. The event was<br />
sponsored by the Hebron it would be fun for the kids and<br />
Elementary PTA.<br />
also educational. The timing was<br />
The Hebronian March <strong>2008</strong> Page 12<br />
perfect,” said Lisa Garcia, who co-chairs the PTA Program<br />
Committee with Janice McMahon.<br />
“We presented the concept to Principal Joanne Collins, and she<br />
and a team of educators decided to move forward with the program,”<br />
said Garcia. “The PTA doesn’t make the final decision;<br />
we only fund programs that are approved by the school.”<br />
The Hebron Elementary School PTA holds one major fundraiser<br />
a year – selling Sally Foster wrapping paper and decorative items<br />
in the fall – and supplements that effort with other smaller<br />
fundraisers, such as student school pictures.<br />
Ambrose, who easily interwove history that students are currently<br />
learning with significant events in Hebron’s first hundred<br />
years, ended his presentation with some important words for the<br />
students to consider: “It’s your town; it’s your history.”<br />

FINANCIAL FOCUS<br />
by Steve Blevins<br />
Know Objectives of Mutual Funds<br />
Before Investing<br />
With thousands of mutual funds on the<br />
market, how can you choose the ones that are<br />
right for your individual needs? For starters,<br />
you need to know the objective of each mutual fund in which<br />
you plan to invest.<br />
Let’s take a look at the investment objectives of some of the most<br />
popular types of mutual funds:<br />
Growth funds — These funds invest in the stocks of growing<br />
companies, with the goal of providing investors with capital<br />
appreciation. In plain English, you invest in these funds for the<br />
potential to make your money grow. If you invest in these funds,<br />
you will almost certainly experience the “ups and downs” of the<br />
market, but if you hold your funds long enough, and they are<br />
well managed, you may increase your investment’s potential<br />
return.<br />
Growth-and-income funds — As its name suggests, a growthand-income<br />
fund is structured to provide the potential for both<br />
growth in value and current income payments, in the form of<br />
dividends. Generally speaking, these funds are less risky than<br />
growth funds yet offer lower growth potential. Keep in mind,<br />
though, that dividends can be increased, decreased or eliminated<br />
at any time without notice.<br />
also share some important traits in common. First, financial professionals<br />
choose the investments, which benefits you. Second,<br />
mutual funds, by owning many different types of securities,<br />
offer the advantage of diversification. (However, diversification,<br />
by itself, cannot guarantee a profit or protect against a loss in a<br />
declining market.<br />
A financial advisor can help you choose those mutual funds<br />
that may be appropriate for your needs. But it’s still your responsibility<br />
to know about the funds in which you invest — so,<br />
before writing a check, read a fund’s prospectus, which can be<br />
obtained from your financial advisor. The prospectus contains<br />
complete information about the fund, including its investment<br />
objectives, risks, charges and expenses, all of which you should<br />
consider carefully. Ultimately, the best investors are usually the<br />
best-informed investors.<br />
Steve Blevins, AAMS, is a registered Financial Advisor helping clients<br />
grow their wealth, manage their retirement income and protect<br />
their assets. His office is located at 10 Main Street in Hebron.<br />
International funds — You can choose from several types of<br />
international funds: global funds, which invest in both U.S.<br />
and international stocks; international funds, which invest<br />
primarily outside the U.S.; country specific funds, which focus<br />
on one country or region; and emerging market funds, which<br />
concentrate on small, developing countries. These funds generally<br />
invest for growth, but they involve special types of risk, such<br />
as currency fluctuations and the prospect of investments being<br />
affected by political or economic turmoil.<br />
Bond funds — When you invest in a bond fund, you are seeking<br />
current income, in the form of interest payments, and the chance<br />
to help stabilize a portfolio that might be heavily weighted toward<br />
stocks. You can choose from funds containing municipal<br />
bonds, corporate bonds, mortgage-backed securities or U.S.<br />
government bonds. Although bonds funds generally contain less<br />
investment risk than stock funds, they carry a different type of<br />
risk: purchasing power risk. In other words, the interest payments<br />
you receive from your bond funds may not always keep up with<br />
inflation. Be aware that bond funds are subject to interest-rate<br />
risk and fund values may decline as interest rates rise.<br />
While these types of funds have some obvious differences, they<br />

Easter Egg Hunts<br />
Christ Lutheran Early Childhood Center<br />
During the week of March 17 th we<br />
held Easter egg hunts for all of the<br />
classrooms at CLECC, in Hebron.<br />

a challenge by having them find<br />
certain amounts of each color.<br />

DO YOU NEED TO DETOX?<br />
By Linda Jacques, The Mindbody Connection<br />
Everyday, toxins accumulate in our bodies,<br />
due to the environment and/or diet.<br />
Smoking and alcohol consumption<br />
accumulates even more toxins.<br />
We inhale toxins from air pollution, first<br />
or second-hand smoke, dental amalgam<br />
fillings, and mold. External exposure, due<br />
to ingestion include chemicals used on<br />
crops or in food stocks, drinking water, and in medicine and<br />
drugs. Injections from vaccinations and other injections, and<br />
tattoos are toxic. Absorption from chemicals used on fabrics<br />
we wear, paints, plastics, pesticides and chemical fertilizers are<br />
toxic. Irradiation from medical x-rays, radon gas, cell phones,<br />
computer monitors, television, microwave ovens, radios; power<br />
grids are other sources of toxins.<br />
There are also internal sources of toxins we are exposed to.<br />
Fermentation, purification and rancidity from ingested foods,<br />
dehydration, poor diet, stress and emotional imbalance are due<br />
to toxins.<br />
As a result of these toxins our bodies are depleted of crucial lifegiving<br />
elements, leaving us to feel drained of energy or unable<br />

Our immune system is compromised making it more difficult<br />
for our body’s ability to naturally fight off or rid itself of toxins.<br />
Damage to our nervous systems and emotional well-being are<br />
symptoms of toxic exposure.<br />

Arbor Day<br />
Christ Lutheran Early Childhood Center<br />
On Arbor Day, April 25, <strong>2008</strong>, teachers and students at Christ Lutheran<br />
Early Childhood Center in Hebron celebrated by planting<br />
another Kwanza Cherry tree. The tree was donated again this year by<br />
Millane Nursery. Each student got to help plant the tree by putting a<br />
shovelful of dirt in the hole and then stomping on it to make sure it<br />
was good and packed. We look forward to watching our cherry trees<br />
grow and bloom.<br />

Hebron 300 th Committee Readies for Summer Events<br />
Get ready for a busy and fun-filled<br />
summer as Hebron celebrates its 300 th<br />
anniversary of incorporation!<br />
Donna McCalla<br />
Peter Moon, Chairman of the 300 th<br />
Committee, reports that six major activities<br />
are planned for <strong>June</strong> and August.<br />
“We’re trying to build a stronger sense of<br />
community throughout Hebron. We all<br />
go our separate paths and don’t necessarily<br />
intersect all the time. We hope to provide<br />
enough opportunities for people to enjoy Former resident and RHAM graduate Mark<br />
at least one or more of these events.” Cafazzo will return to Hebron in August for<br />
the re-enactment between the Peters Corp<br />
“<strong>June</strong> will see events all four Saturdays; and the Lebanon Town Militia. Cafazzo is a<br />
we’re excited that so many residents have long time member of the Peters Corp.<br />
rallied together to offer these unique opportunities<br />
to celebrate Hebron’s past,” he added.<br />
hike through the State Forest – following<br />
Jeremy Brook down to Grayville<br />
Falls Park – can also be undertaken by<br />
the more adventurous. Throughout the<br />
day, Hope Valley neighbors will be hosting<br />
a bake sale with proceeds benefiting<br />
the Hope Valley Church maintenance<br />
fund. Drinkuth and his wife, Mimi<br />
Tyler, are Chairpersons of Hope Valley<br />
Neighborhood Day.<br />
On <strong>June</strong> 7, the Amston Lake Improvement Association is hosting<br />
a Neighborhood Day from 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Events<br />
occurring on Amston Lake Day are outlined in a related article<br />
in this publication.<br />
St. Peter’s Episcopal Church History Day will be held on <strong>June</strong> 14<br />
from 10:00 a.m. until 3:00 p.m. according to Cindy Robson, a<br />
church member who also serves on the 300 th Committee. “We<br />
will be offering tours of the church and some of the historical<br />
artifacts that we have,” she said. Included in those artifacts are<br />
a baptismal fount and two candlesticks which date back to the<br />
original Anglican Church built on Godfrey Hill in the early<br />
1700’s, beautiful stain-glassed windows that serve as both history<br />
and art lessons, and the church’s 1850 Johnson organ.<br />
“In addition, members will conduct tours of our two cemeteries,<br />
the historic cemetery on Godfrey Hill and the current cemetery<br />
behind the church features the resting place of Governor John<br />
S. Peters,” said Robson. Godfrey Hill is located on the east side<br />
of Gilead Street, just north of the intersection with Slocum<br />
Road.<br />
A unique opportunity exists on <strong>June</strong> 21, when residents of<br />
Hope Valley (formerly known as “Hope Vale”) will host another<br />
Neighborhood Day from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. The Hope<br />
Valley Church, built in 1849, will be open all day. In addition<br />
to the church, Hope Valley was once the site of several mills,<br />
blacksmith shops, a post office, stores, a one room schoolhouse,<br />
and houses for mill workers. A self-guided walking tour map<br />
highlighting the remains of those sites will be available.<br />
Long time Hope Valley resident Bill Drinkuth will lead a guided<br />
interpretive walk for those interested at 11:00 a.m. A longer<br />

The town’s Annual Picnic & Fireworks event will again be<br />
hosted by the Hebron Lions Club at the Lions Fairgrounds on<br />
<strong>June</strong> 28. But the day is going to offer a whole lot more than<br />
previous town picnics!<br />
First, there will “Treasure Hunt” involving tours of the best and<br />
most interesting sites in Hebron, such as Prophet’s Rock, Gay<br />
City State Park, and so on. Registration begins at 9:00 a.m. at<br />
RHAM, with the actual Treasure Hunt starting at 10:00 a.m.<br />
Any number of people can be in a car, so bring the whole family;<br />
up to 50 cars may participate.<br />
“Here’s a chance to see places in your own town that you may<br />
have never visited before,” said Neal Alderman, who is organizing<br />
the event. “The prize winner will be the vehicle that visits<br />
all of the required sites in the proper order and in the proper<br />
time. This is not a race, but will be done at normal speed so<br />
that anyone can play.”<br />
At approximately 1:30 p.m., following the Treasure Hunt and<br />
prior to the start of the picnic, there will be a double-header<br />
“vintage baseball game” involving the New London Thames<br />
Baseball Club and the Columbia Vintage Baseball Club at the<br />
Lions Fairgrounds. “Vintage” refers to an 1860 version of the<br />
game that uses a “slow pitch” and different look and rules. These<br />
different rules include a “no balls, no strike” rule, and field players<br />
need not use gloves.<br />
“The 300 Celebration Committee financially supported the<br />
fireworks for the evening,” said Moon. “As a result, the fireworks<br />
display will be feature a special 300 “salutes” finale!”<br />
August offers two more exciting events.<br />
“We’d like to invite all of our neighbors to enjoy the beauty of<br />
Gilead on Saturday, August 2,” said Alison Doherty, Chairman<br />
of Gilead Neighborhood Day. “It’s a serene, relaxing, and<br />
wonderful place to be,” she said.<br />
Tours of the historic Gilead Church,<br />
shown here in a 1907 photograph, will be<br />
available on August 2 when residents and<br />
visitors attend Gilead Neighborhood Day.<br />
From 10:00 a.m.<br />
until 4:00 p.m.<br />
visitors can tour the<br />
Gilead Congregational<br />
Church and<br />
the Gilead Cemetery,<br />
as well as take<br />
a self-guided tour of<br />
Gilead’s many historic<br />
homes.<br />
Special events include:<br />
a blacksmith<br />
presentation by Country Carpenters (10:00 a.m. to noon) and<br />
a farm tour and tractor rides at Mapleleaf, the Ellis family farm<br />
(noon – 4:00 p.m.).<br />
“There will be all kinds of activities for all ages at the church,”<br />
said Doherty, “including a quilt raffle, a display of historic Gilead<br />
quilts, and historic games for children.” For those who don’t<br />
bring their own picnics, food can be purchased at the church<br />
from noon until 2:00 p.m. Brochures of the Gilead historic<br />
homes can also be purchased at the church.<br />
August 15-17 will be both educational and entertaining when<br />
Revolutionary War re-enactors come to Hebron. On Friday<br />
afternoon, the Lebanon Town Militia (American Rebels) and<br />
the Peter’s Corp (British troops) arrive in town. The re-enactor<br />
groups will set up camp in the large field at the end of the new<br />
John Horton Boulevard (across from Ted’s IGA). The encampments<br />
can be visited, explored and everyone is encouraged to<br />
talk to the re-enactors.<br />
The main event will be Saturday as the two sides prepare for<br />
battle and engage the enemy. Only one side will emerge victorious!<br />
Sunday morning will be the closing portion as each side<br />
prepares to move onto a different battlefield in another town,<br />
but you can still visit the camps as they break down.<br />
Mark your calendars for all these wonderful events celebrating<br />
Hebron’s history.<br />

Careful…Targeted Speed Enforcement Areas May Be Coming Your Way!<br />
To aid in increased speed enforcement<br />
efforts, Hebron patrol cars are outfitted with<br />
numerous electronic devices such as these.<br />
One of the benefits<br />
of the winter<br />
months is that<br />
many residents<br />
stay at home<br />
more often, resulting<br />
in less<br />
overall noise and<br />
traffic in Hebron.<br />
That seems to<br />
change right after<br />
the town’s annual<br />
areas were Loveland Road, North Pond Road, West Main Street,<br />
and Martin Road. Kraynak explained that those areas were chosen<br />
because they had the highest number of resident speeding<br />
complaints during the month of March.<br />
“We all know that warm weather brings children playing outside,<br />
families taking walks in the neighborhood, and bicyclists riding<br />
on the street shoulders. It is important that everyone comply<br />
with the posted speed limits so Hebron can continue to be a<br />
safe place,” she said.<br />
To report areas of speeding, please contact the Hebron Police<br />
Department at 228‐3710.<br />
Maple Fest event in early March.<br />
“With the increasingly warmer<br />
weather and more outside activities,<br />
we’re obviously seeing more<br />
traffic. But we’re also seeing an<br />
increased level of complaints from<br />
residents about speeders throughout<br />
town,” said Resident Trooper<br />
First Class Kelly Kraynak.<br />
Kraynak identified the four general<br />
times a day when most complaints<br />
are received about speeding: the<br />
morning rush hour, high school<br />
dismissal, evening rush hours, and<br />
sunny weekends.<br />
Over the next several months, the<br />
Hebron Resident Trooper’s Office<br />
and Hebron Police Department<br />
will be increasing their motor<br />
vehicle enforcement efforts.<br />
“In an attempt to address residents’<br />
concerns about speeding,<br />
we have also initiated a new speed<br />
enforcement program that will<br />
focus on four different locations<br />
every month. Those targeted<br />
areas, chosen because they had<br />
the highest number of complaints<br />
in the previous month, will have<br />
extra patrolling. These patrols<br />
will be in addition to our regular<br />
efforts to tackle this particular<br />
problem,” said Kraynak.<br />

Resident Troopers Offer Safety Tips for Airline Trail<br />
Donna McCalla<br />
Kraynak and Gendron offered the following advice for residents<br />
visiting the Airline Trail:<br />
1.<br />
2.<br />
3.<br />
4.<br />
Keep all electronics and personal items, especially purses<br />
and wallets, out of view. Secure any valuable items in your<br />
trunk or lock them in the glove box prior to arriving at the<br />
trail’s parking lots.<br />
Make sure all car doors are locked.<br />
While it is tempting to leave your car’s windows slightly<br />
open on hot days, make sure they are rolled up all the way.<br />
“A burglar can access your car locks through the smallest<br />
open crack in your window,” said Kraynak.<br />
If your car has an alarm, make sure it is activated.<br />
Resident State Troopers Mark Gendron (left) and Kelly Kraynak<br />
gear up for visitors to the Airline Trail, a popular destination for<br />
many throughout the spring, summer and fall months. They<br />
encourage people to engage in safety precautions in the parking<br />
areas -- and also to stop and say hello!<br />
One of the most popular spots in Hebron every summer is the<br />
Airline Trail. Managed by the Connecticut Department of Environmental<br />
Protection (DEP), the trail serves as a hub for outdoor<br />
enthusiasts and is promoted by the DEP as “an important link<br />
with the past and preserves open space for the future.”<br />
For Hebron residents, the primary entrances to the Airline Trail<br />
are on South Church Street, just north of Route 85 Lumber, and<br />
on Old Colchester Road, slightly north of Heron Hill Road.<br />
“Although the trails and the interior portion of the parks have<br />
proven to be safe, the parking areas experience periodic vehicle<br />
break-ins,” said Resident State Trooper Kelly Kraynak. “We<br />
are working with DEP to combat such activity by patrolling the<br />
area with police vehicles and bicycles. Both Mark Gendron and<br />
I are bicycle-certified for patrol activities, as are several other<br />
Hebron Police Officers.” Gendron is Hebron’s other Resident<br />
State Trooper.<br />
5.<br />
If you see any suspicious activity, immediately report it to the<br />
Hebron police at 228-3710 or call 911. Your involvement<br />
may help someone from becoming another crime victim.<br />
“And if you happen to see any of the Hebron bicycle patrol units<br />
riding on the Airline Trail or at other locations throughout the<br />
town, please don’t hesitate to say hello,” said Kraynak.<br />

Peters House Committee Off and Running<br />
The future of the Peters House, located at 150 East Street, continues<br />
to be a “hot topic” in Hebron.<br />
Following the withdrawal of a proposal to purchase the house,<br />
the Board of Selectmen established a “Peters House Use Study<br />
Committee” and, appointed a number of residents to the committee<br />
at their April 3 meeting.<br />
Members of the Peters House Committee, representing various<br />
boards and commissions, are Gayle Mulligan (Board of<br />
Selectmen); Dan Larson (Board of Finance); Will Moorcroft<br />
(Planning & Zoning Commission); Anne Fitzpatrick (Parks &<br />
Recreation); Deena Watson (Hebron Historic Properties Commission);<br />
and Donna McCalla (Hebron Historical Society).<br />
Barbara Soderberg, David Bland, John Baron, Ray Overton,<br />
and Jacob Yopp were appointed as Citizens-At-Large.<br />
Wasting no time, members held their first meeting on April 16.<br />
Moorcroft was elected chairman of the committee, with McCalla<br />
elected vice chairman and Fitzpatrick elected secretary.<br />
With direction from the Selectmen, members set the following<br />
four goals: (1) Gather input from the public, boards and commissions,<br />
and department heads on possible uses of the Peters<br />
House; (2) Recommend at least three usages for the Peters House<br />
to be presented to the Selectmen for their consideration and<br />
Yoga, Pilates, Customized classes, Reiki, Massage, Dance for all ages,<br />
Sweat lodges, Workshops, and Smiling Faces all at one location!<br />

town agencies, seeking their space requirements and suggestions<br />
for possible municipal usages of the building. “I’m pleased to<br />
report that we have already heard back from a number of departments,<br />
all with good ideas and suggestions that we will explore<br />
in detail,” said Moorcroft.<br />

RHAM Middle School teacher<br />
Karl Jancis recently said,<br />
“We’re excited about being<br />
the “the closing act” on<br />
Hebron’s 300th birthday<br />
celebrations. Quest for Home<br />
will be a play no one will soon<br />
forget!”<br />
Quest for Home Play Rescheduled<br />
Due to a number of scheduling<br />
conflicts, the historic play<br />
Quest for Home, originally<br />
scheduled for production on<br />
Memorial Day weekend, has<br />
been rescheduled.<br />
The new dates for the play are<br />
Friday, November 7 and Saturday,<br />
November 8. It will be<br />
presented at the RHAM High<br />
School Auditorium.<br />
“We regret having to postpone<br />
the play,” said Karl Jancis, the<br />
RHAM Middle School who<br />
