The Quinnipiac River Wa-<br />
tershed Association will hold a<br />
workshop on Monday, August 2<br />
on how to evaluate the condi-<br />
tion of a stream. The workshop<br />
will take place from 5:30<br />
-to -8 Bnn. -Therfactlitators<strong>for</strong>r<br />
the evening will be QRWA<br />
Staff Scientist Sigrun Gadwa<br />
snd Aquatic Biologist George<br />
Logan.<br />
Participants will begin by<br />
looking at maps of the Judd<br />
Brook watershed <strong>and</strong> discussing<br />
possible upstream pollution<br />
sources. A possible future pollution<br />
source, downstream of<br />
this section of Judd Brook, is<br />
the proposed Pilot Travel Cen-<br />
ter on Rte. 322.<br />
Later, the group will be as-<br />
sessing various physical stream<br />
Pharacteristics such as: are<br />
there sediment bars from upstream<br />
erosion? Are the banks<br />
eroding <strong>and</strong> undercut or wellvegetated<br />
<strong>and</strong> stable. Are there<br />
signs of nutrient enrichment?<br />
Also, the group will take<br />
depth <strong>and</strong> width measurements<br />
of the stream channel, <strong>and</strong> then<br />
evaluate the stream-side plant<br />
community. Do overhanging<br />
trees shade the stream <strong>and</strong> drop<br />
leaf-litter, which is a food<br />
source <strong>for</strong> stream-bottom organisms?<br />
How well does vege-<br />
tation support wildlifeP We'll<br />
check <strong>for</strong> non-native invasive<br />
plant species, like purpte<br />
loosestrife.<br />
Several participants will al-<br />
so assist with a collection of<br />
stream-bottom organisms, to<br />
be identified later in the labora-<br />
tory. The presence of a variety<br />
of pollution-sensitive invertebrltes<br />
is an excellent indicator<br />

not the oldest, we're one of the<br />
oldest family-operated furniture<br />
stores in the state. Therek a long<br />
legacy there."<br />
DePaolo originally planned a<br />
career as a professional opera<br />
singer, studying at Harrt College of<br />
Music in Hart<strong>for</strong>d <strong>and</strong> Manhattan<br />
School of Music in New York City.<br />
She sang with the Connecticut<br />
Opera Association <strong>and</strong> won a<br />
Metropolitan Opera audition at<br />
age 24. Her career in music was<br />
short-lived however.<br />
"The career was a very highly<br />
dif cult one. I decided to change<br />
c reers in 1983 <strong>and</strong> at that point, I<br />
decided to go back to college (at<br />
Paier College in Hamden) <strong>for</strong> de-<br />
sign. I was very happy <strong>and</strong> it was a<br />
big change <strong>for</strong> me, but I shifted my<br />
focus," DePaolo recounted. "I decided<br />
to put my full ef<strong>for</strong>t into this<br />
<strong>and</strong> PIn happy that I did. It was a<br />
difficult change <strong>for</strong> me at the time,<br />
but now, I feel very much that I've<br />
grown into <strong>and</strong> matured into this<br />
after so many years in it. I feel that<br />
God has given me a special gift of<br />
being able toworkwithdesign <strong>and</strong><br />
I'm very good with colors <strong>and</strong> patterns<br />
<strong>and</strong> putting things together<br />
<strong>and</strong> coordinating people. I feel very<br />
lucky that I have a wonderful business<br />
tobeable to express my tal-<br />
ens."<br />
Much of DePaolo Furniture's<br />
long history of suce is linked to<br />
its longtime customers, some of<br />
them members of a fourth genersdon<br />
that is beginning to visit the<br />
store. "The legacy that the DePao-<br />
10 family inthis business has left is<br />
one of (the goodwill) that my father<br />
Goseph) <strong>and</strong> my gr<strong>and</strong>parents<br />
created; helpfulness to the cus-<br />

<strong>for</strong>med between you <strong>and</strong> the cus-<br />

just a customer coming through<br />
