Two More Eagles in Hebron Two more young men in Hebron’s Troop 28 Boy Scouts have attained the rank of Eagle Scout. Nicholas Aubin’s Court of Honor was held at the Marlborough Congregational Church on Sunday, March 22, and William (Billy) Czaja’s Court of Honor followed two weeks later, on April 5, at the Hebron Lions Fairground. Aubin’s project was the restoration of Hebron’s Old Town Pound, located just east of the intersections of Main Street and Chestnut Hill Road, completed in May 2008. The lopsided pile of rocks were carefully put back into place by Nick and his crew of scouts and parents. Billy Czaja’s family proudly hosted a Court of Honor at the Hebron Lions Fairground on April 5. From left, John Czaja, Billy Czaja, Mary Czaja, and Katie Czaja. Errant trees that had grown over the years, displacing the rocks further, were removed by the town’s Public Works Department. Finally, the old gate was carefully recreated, and all new hardware was hand-forged by Nick, Fred Brehant, and his father, Fred Brehant, Sr. The Old Town Pound, one of the last in Connecticut where pounds were very common, sits adjacent to an open space nature trail previously Nick Aubin (center) was joined by his entire family at his March 22 Court of Honor. From left, Carolyn Aubin, Will Aubin, David Aubin, and Parker Aubin. Members of the Board of Selectmen, Pam Sawyer, and Edith Prague also attended and presented Nick with proclamations honoring his efforts.

owned by the Mohegan Land Trust. The site has already created excitement in Hebron. At Maple Fest this year, over 60 people went to the pound where they could see goats happily grazing inside the structure. Nick’s brother, Parker Aubin, and his friend, Nate Baribault, hosted the event. Czaja’s project likewise involved restoring an his- Thanks to Billy Czaja and his crew of Troop 28 members, toric landmark, Prophet’s Prophet’s Rock was restored and made accessible to the public Rock, located off Bur- for the first time in over a century. It is now one of Hebron’s most popular “hidden” nature trails. rows Hill Road. Oral legends state that Hebron’s first settlers, who had become separated, reunited at Prophet’s Rock and decided to settle the area in 1704. Czaja and his father, John Czaja, worked the entire summer of 2008 clearing a 750-foot path to the rock and creating a picnic table. In October, Billy and his crew then spread wood chips (supplied by the town’s Public Works and Parks and Recreation Departments) all along the path and moved the picnic table to the summit. The town subsequently laid gravel to create a two-car “parking lot.” In any weather, including snow, one can see footprints going up the trail, a testament to its use by area residents. It is the first time in over a century that Prophet’s Rock has been accessible to the public. Troop 28 has the highest number of Eagles in the country. Other Courts of Honor are currently being held, and no less than three additional Eagle projects are already in the planning stage. It’s not likely that any other troop will be able to top Troop 28’s record any time soon! COMPUTER SALES AND REPAIR Full service for desktop computers and laptops. Fast turnaround.
