BY BLANCHE GOSSELIN VILLAGER CORRESPONDENT STORRS — Under the theme “Celebrating Children and the Books They Read,” the Connecticut Children’s Book Fair drew patrons from all parts of the state and beyond. On Saturday and Sunday, Nov. 14 and 15, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., traffic into the Rome Ballroom, South Campus, at the University of Connecticut, was non- stop. A Putnam couple had a very special reason for being at the event. For more than a decade, graphic designer Gail Merrill has served at the university as marketing coordinator for the Department of Dining Services. When she received an e-mail from the UConn Co-op, asking for volunteers to do arts and crafts with children, Merrill thought it was something she’d like to do. Easily she enlisted her husband Brian, an art teacher in the Hebron school system, to accompany her. “It was a fascinating and rewarding Blanche Gosselin photos Putnam residents Brian and Gail Merrill (left) volunteer do help children do crafts at the Connecticut experience,” Merill said at the end of With open arms, Stella Luna invites children to Children’s Book Fair. their session. “For me, it was a great come to him. opportunity to get back in touch with young children.” The Merrills’ daughter, Gillian, employed at the Putnam Public Library, will graduate from UConn in December and pursue graduate studies in library science. Their younger son, Zack, is actively developing his musical gifts. Besides the children’s nook, several rooms had been designated for specific purposes: for storytelling, for author presentations and for book signings. The whole day had been organized in such a way as to leave no time for bore- dom. The program cover noted that the Connecticut Children’s Book Fair was a project of the UConn Co-op and the Thomas J. Dodd Research Center; the back flap gratefully acknowledged the generous support of the SBM Charitable Foundation Inc., the C. E. S. Foundation, Mohegan Sun and Rockville Bank. At dozens of well-stacked tables, shoppers choose from a wide selection of books. Author Janet Lawler reads from a book chosen by one of her listeners. Ceremony held in honor, recognition of veterans VETERANS continued from page 1 monument by past Post 111 Commander Paul Kosciow, and, of course, hear the beautiful renditions of patriotic songs by vocalist Linda Colangelo. The program was led by Todd Smith, Post 111 commander. State Sen. Anthony Guglielmo (R-Stafford) gave the key address during the ceremony. He said that days of remembrance for those who perished in wars past or are currently serving in the military serve as a token of the free- doms American citizens sometimes take for granted.

Resident Pat Sarasin tied a yellow ribbon around a maple tree on the common to signify those family and friends waiting for loved ones in the military to return home from the war. The famous 1970’s song, “Tie a Yellow Ribbon Around the Old Oak Tree,” written by Irwine Lavine and L.

2010 Chevrolet Equinox Strongly Deserving of the Respect It’s Been Receiving

BY KEITH GRIFFIN

As I have written about before, I am the founder and president of Internet Car and Truck of the Year (where consumer voting continues through Dec. 11 at www.internetcarandtruck- oftheyear.com). I mention this because one of the finalists for Consumer Truck of the Year and Internet Truck of the Year (two different awards) is the Chevrolet Equinox. Frankly, it stumped me that this crossover utility vehicle had been selected as a semi-finalist and then made its way into the finals. I had not driven it so I found myself thinking, “What the heck is so special about the Equinox that it’s a contender for the first- ever Internet truck of the year award?” (Honestly, I think like that.) My bias comes from the fact that my sister has driven the previous generation Equinox for five The 2010 Chevrolet Equinox has been fully redesigned and is no longer a “Plain Jane” in the crossover utility market.
