Watershed 

program 

rescl eduled 

The Quinnipiac River Wa- 

tershed Association will hold a 

workshop on Monday, August 2 

on how to evaluate the condi- 

tion of a stream. The workshop 

will take place from 5:30 

-to -8 Bnn. -Therfactlitatorsforr 

the evening will be QRWA 

Staff Scientist Sigrun Gadwa 

snd Aquatic Biologist George 

Logan. 

Participants will begin by 

looking at maps of the Judd 

Brook watershed and discussing 

possible upstream pollution 

sources. A possible future pollution 

source, downstream of 

this section of Judd Brook, is 

the proposed Pilot Travel Cen- 

ter on Rte. 322. 

Later, the group will be as- 

sessing various physical stream 

Pharacteristics such as: are 

there sediment bars from upstream 

erosion? Are the banks 

eroding and undercut or wellvegetated 

and stable. Are there 

signs of nutrient enrichment? 

Also, the group will take 

depth and width measurements 

of the stream channel, and then 

evaluate the stream-side plant 

community. Do overhanging 

trees shade the stream and drop 

leaf-litter, which is a food 

source for stream-bottom organisms? 

How well does vege- 

tation support wildlifeP We'll 

check for non-native invasive 

plant species, like purpte 

loosestrife. 

Several participants will al- 

so assist with a collection of 

stream-bottom organisms, to 

be identified later in the labora- 

tory. The presence of a variety 

of pollution-sensitive invertebrltes 

is an excellent indicator 

pf good water quality. Partici- 

pants will also fill out a QRWA 

"Adopt-the-River" inspection 

form.

downtown again, and we're trying 

to get new businesses to come in, 

said DePa010. "We're still here; 

we've survived all of those changes 

on Center Street I think we're, if 

not the oldest, we're one of the 

oldest family-operated furniture 

stores in the state. Therek a long 

legacy there." 

DePaolo originally planned a 

career as a professional opera 

singer, studying at Harrt College of 

Music in Hartford and Manhattan 

School of Music in New York City. 

She sang with the Connecticut 

Opera Association and won a 

Metropolitan Opera audition at 

age 24. Her career in music was 

short-lived however. 

"The career was a very highly 

dif cult one. I decided to change 

c reers in 1983 and at that point, I 

decided to go back to college (at 

Paier College in Hamden) for de- 

sign. I was very happy and it was a 

big change for me, but I shifted my 

focus," DePaolo recounted. "I decided 

to put my full effort into this 

and PIn happy that I did. It was a 

difficult change for me at the time, 

but now, I feel very much that I've 

grown into and matured into this 

after so many years in it. I feel that 

God has given me a special gift of 

being able toworkwithdesign and 

I'm very good with colors and patterns 

and putting things together 

and coordinating people. I feel very 

lucky that I have a wonderful business 

tobeable to express my tal- 

ens." 

Much of DePaolo Furniture's 

long history of suce is linked to 

its longtime customers, some of 

them members of a fourth genersdon 

that is beginning to visit the 

store. "The legacy that the DePao- 

10 family inthis business has left is 

one of (the goodwill) that my father 

Goseph) and my grandparents 

created; helpfulness to the cus- 

tomer and friendships that are 

formed between you and the cus- 

tomer; you don't feel as though it's 

just a customer coming through 

the door," said DePaolo. 'You feel

some cases, your grandparents
