BY MATT SANDERSON VILLAGER STAFF WRITER KILLINGLY — Around 80 young- sters said farewell to their friends and counselors last Friday, Aug. 6, during the final day at Camp Quinebaug. The day included Family Day and a talent show. On the waterfront of the Wauregan Reservoir, parents gath- ered with their campers to cele- brate the end to another summer. The camp runs for about six weeks and takes kids with special needs from all over the region, from roughly 16 different school dis- tricts. “We’ve had a fabulous summer,” said Elisa Marcoux, camp adminis- trator. “There was less rain and it was hot, but camp-wise we were great.” Camp Quinebaug, established in 1972, provides a unique summer experience for children and young people in northeast Connecticut who are either physically or men- tally disabled.

BY KEITH GRIFFIN It’s the summer of the Bs – the B class, that is, in the automotive world. Manufacturers like Ford (Fiesta), Honda (Fit), Toyota (Yaris) and Nissan (Versa) have been furiously marketing their B- class sub-compacts. The latest to fly into the fray is Mazda’s Mazda2. Car makers are chomping at the bit to conquer the B segment. Sales in it are expected to be 533,000 this year and almost dou- ble to 1.06 million by 2014. Already a light car to begin with in its previous iterations (not available in the U.S.), Mazda thought the Mazda2 needed to shave weight for great fuel effi- ciency, better acceleration, turn- ing and stopping. It tips the scales at an almost svelte 2306 lbs. (The Fit weighs 2489 lbs.) Its petite size can’t overcome the fact the Mazda2 is powered by a 100-horsepower, 1.5-liter, four- cylinder engine with 98 lb. ft. of torque (double-digit torque num- bers are never a good thing in an The 2011 Mazda Mazda2 is the third-generation of the compact hatchback that has been sold around the world but just now hits the U.S. and Canada when it debuts in showrooms in late July. automobile).
