The technical revolution initiated by the Holtzman Effect saw the return of hand-to-hand combat to the battlefields of the Imperium. The unpredictable interaction of a lasgun beam and a Holtzman field forced the military of the empire to develop new techniques of in shield fighting which included new styles of fencing and knife fighting. Still the use of projectile weapons such as Dartguns or tiny projectors of needles were common but the more effective combat method was the effective use of blade weapons. Long blades as well as short blades were used in shield-fighting, but commonly short blades were seen as more effective by experienced swordsmen. Blades were mostly forged of plasteel or Damasteel and could take different forms and designs. East Hampton's Chatham History Festival to honor Paul & Sandy's Too garden center.

EAST HAMPTON — The Chatham Historical Society is planning its sixth annual Chatham History Festival Oct. 14, which this year will honor Paul and Sandy’s garden center, founded by Paul and Sandy Peszynski 48 years ago. Three of the family’s three children, Jill, Karen and Dan, continue serving the community, according to a press release. Paul Peszynski started selling vegetables at a stand that he and his father converted from an old chicken coop on Route 66. At that time, his main customers were people from New York City who came and rented cottages or stayed at one of the seven hotels that were on Lake Pocotopaug, according to Marty Podskoch, on behalf of the historical society. Years later, Paul Peszynski married Sandy Flemke and they had four children: Mark, Jill, Daniel and Karen. Then Paul & Sandy opened a toy and sporting goods store with some home and garden supplies and named it Paul’s Home Supply, the same property where Paul sold fresh fruits and vegetables during his summers to pay for his college tuition as a young man, the release said. As the years passed, Paul and Sandy found that the demand for toys and sporting goods declined, but the need for home and gardening supplies soared, and the transition to green goods and hardware was natural, according to the historical society. Then, in 1984, the couple incorporated the business, and changed the name, since there were always customer questions as to why Sandy’s name wasn’t included in the name of the business, and Paul’s and Sandy’s Too, Inc. was born, the release said. “In 1991, during one of the road trips to Vermont, husband and wife came across pumpkin-headed scarecrows along the side of the road. It stopped them in their tracks. They took pictures and their wheels started turning. What a fantastic way to drive some business in the fall, a time generally slow in the garden center business,” Podskoch said in the release. In 1992, what is now known as Pumpkin Town USA was started. “First came a few pumpkin-headed people, then the town we all know and love. Most recently added, the Ride at Pumpkin Town that features a mile-long hayride through the woods with over 30 additional pumpkin heads and their dwellings. This local attraction hosts over 20,000 people during the short seven weeks it is open from the middle of September through Halloween,” Podskoch said. “When Sandy’s breast cancer returned in 1993, they decided it was time to fully pass the torch to the children, so they could enjoy retirement together. Jill, Dan, and Karen took the reins and ran with them, finding strengths in all aspects of the business and working together to increase sales and their customer following. They took the values instilled in them by their parents, Paul and Sandy, about superior customer service, and how important it is to give back to the community that supports them,” Podskoch said.
