Letter from the Editor
March is our HOME issue. And, as Stamford is my hometown, it prompted conversation with several friends on growing up here in the 60s and 70s. The memories and laughter that ensued was so lively and entertaining!
It's funny the things we remember. Home is where the heart is but those influential years of our youth are distinctive. For those of us who grew up together in Stamford we share a very special bond. I hope you enjoy some of the memories recounted in the article Homegrown Boomers. There were so many others that I'll have to save for another day. I invite you to share your memories and photos (via email or Instagram) for the next story.
We also take a look at aging parents and what that means as you consider downsizing and selling a childhood home with a lifetime of memories. We welcome Susan Feuer as a new writer sharing her experience.
If you need help in relocating all of that "stuff" from your parents' home, consider Junk Bear. They provide removal service big and small. They can help you pack it or simply pick it up and take it away. They even help find a new home for certain items. A family owned business with heart.
It's time to start thinking about beach weather and a good time to think about your home gym. Dan Pachter of Pure Conditioning offers his professional advice.
March is National Nutrition Month, Jacqui Justice shares her expertise to help us stay committed to healthy choices.
Technology can add comfort and security to our world. Take a look at some of the latest options for making your home smarter.
And meet, Mylene Del Nero, a designer who can help you transform your home.
As Dorothy says, "There's no place like home." And, for me... that may be many places at any given time, but it will always be Stamford in my heart.

JUNK REMOVAL
ARTICLE BY EILEEN MCNAMA | PHOTOGRAPHY BY JEBB GRAFF
“Out with the old” is the idea behind the locally family-owned and operated junk removal company, Junk Bear. Owner Rob Paradis began the business in 2019, working evenings, weekends and lunch hours with his mid-size Toyota Tacoma and a small utility trailer to clear out junk and clutter for area family and friends.
LET JUNK BEAR MAKE THE PROCESS EASIER
Bjorn, Aaron, Rob, Kim, Katelyn and Berkley.
The company's home-improvement focus during the past several years allowed Rob to leave his corporate job as an operations manager. His small, part-time business, based in Southington, has now grown into a full-time operation servicing five mid-state and northwestern counties. The business employs eight full-time and four part-time people that process an average of 40 properties a week — more than 2,000 clean-ups in 2022.
“We’re grateful at how far we’ve come,” Rob says. “We’re proud to serve local communities with this valuable service.”
Junk Bear’s menu of services offers everything from hauling away old furniture and appliances, yard debris, old pools, and hot tubs to complete home, basement and garage clean outs, even helping with moving-truck load-ups.
“People always have stuff to get rid of. We’re here to help them. We service jobs of all styles, from one-item pickups to full truckloads and whole house clean outs. Our biggest job was a single home that required 31 truckloads with 465 cubic yards of materials. No job is too big or too small.”
Junk Bear is proud to be a community-based business that employs local workers and supports their growth in the company, by encouraging them to set and pursue career goals. Rob says he's also proud that his company is able to respond with same-day and next-day service that similar nationally franchised companies can’t deliver. He’s also gratified by the company’s more than 400 highly-rated Google reviews.
Junk Bear seeks to support their employees as they grow their business. “Our business model is rooted in the belief that we succeed best and quickest by helping others succeed. We achieve our goals when we give back to our team as well as our customers.”
“We achieve our goals when we give back to our team as well as our customers.”
Junk Bear is also committed to helping the environment by recycling as much as possible what they collect. Tools and equipment are repurposed, books are donated to local libraries, usable clothing and furniture to shelters, metals and batteries are funneled to appropriate collection centers. All of which keep materials out of landfills.
Junk Bear is offering $50-off when you present this article to our team members.

WHAT IS IT LIKE BEING AN OWNER OF A CUSTOM CABINETRY BUSINESS IN FAIRFIELD COUNTY?
It has been a great privilege to open a business in this community and work with talented architects, builders, and interior designers. We’ve been here for 3 years and I have been able to work with many projects all over Fairfield and Westchester County. We have a lot of clients looking for high-quality products who have sophisticated taste.
WHAT PROJECTS ARE YOU CURRENTLY WORKING ON?
I have been working on various projects, most of which are houses (either new construction or renovations). Each project is customized to the client’s lifestyle and may include a combination of kitchen, closets, and/or wall systems.
ANY ADVICE FOR SOMEONE REMODELING THEIR KITCHEN, BATHROOM OR SMALL SPACE IN THE HOME?
Remodeling a kitchen requires a lot of research and communication
with specialized companies. This is an important step because the available products and accessories vary from one provider to another and are constantly changing or being updated. As a result, the client would be better positioned to evaluate the different proposals based on the quality of the project, cost estimate, and the strength/involvement of each vendor. Another suggestion is that the client should check the various available main appliance options, as this would be important feedback for the vendors.
WHAT DO YOU LOVE ABOUT LIVING IN STAMFORD? WHAT ARE SOME OF YOUR FAVORITE PLACES TO VISIT/SHOP IN THE CITY?
Stamford is a lively city! It has a good infrastructure that allows residents and workers to access a variety of options, including good restaurants, parks, summer events, etc. For those who work in the city, living in Stamford is convenient. I enjoy dining at Çka Ka Qëllu, Kouzina, and The Wheel.

hearts & homes in transition
Helping an aging parent downsize and relocate.
My brother and I recently helped our 86-year old father, who had lived in his Stamford house for over four decades, transition to assisted living. Below are some things we learned from the process.
First, think about your parent’s needs. Can he or she stay in the place they presently live, with some modifications? Common, easy, and low-cost ones include: adding a shower seat and grab bars for the bathroom, eliminate throw rugs, add a hand rail to the side of a bed, installing a ramp. Does your parent need assistance for activities of daily living? Medicare may pay for a certain amount of hours per week for an aid to come to the house.
If downsizing and moving is your decision, Stamford boasts a tremendous variety of options. Many offer a mix of independent, assisted living and memory care in the same location. Dad wanted to stay in Stamford so my brother and I hit the streets to check

out potential new homes for him. Of the ones we selected, two were high-rise apartment buildings in downtown Stamford and two were suburban options in the High Ridge and Turn of River neighborhoods. Together we toured the two high-rise buildings and one of the suburban options, which my dad said wasn't for him. Ultimately dad chose one of the high-rise options.
Some things to consider in your decision… Get a sense of the vibe of the place. Do the residents look happy? Are there activities going on? Is the person giving the tour friendly and being approached by the residents? What are the hours for meals? Is there an "always available" menu? Is there a courtesy van that takes residents to doctor appointments and other places? Does the property offer outings? Ask friends, colleagues and acquaintances if they know anyone in the property you are
considering for an insider’s opinion. Come prepared with a list of questions and take notes. I created a “dad binder” especially for this task. It helped us stay organized and remember the subtle differences about each place. Of course you want to know the price of the space but other helpful things to ask are: Is an outside physical therapist allowed to provide services to your parent? Is an outside private duty aid allowed or do you have to use the aids employed by the property?
One of the people who led us on a tour gave a great tip, which is to make sure to bring familiar items from your parent’s previous home to
the new space. Don’t discount how an old recliner, kitchen table or throw blanket can be a positive reminder of the old home and a source of comfort during a trying transition for your parent.
Moving is stressful for everyone, especially an older parent who has been in a house for many years surrounded with lifelong memories. Have patience and compassion for your parent during the process. Emphasize the positive aspects of their new home (in fact, don’t forget to call it just that: a home) and be sure to visit them regularly. Don’t hesitate to talk to the director of the property to get a report card about how your parent is doing and bring up any concerns you or your parent has about the new place. Soon enough, your parent will settle in and thrive in their new space and make new friends and memories there.
MARCH IS NATIONAL NUTRITION MONTH
ARTICLE BY JACQUI JUSTICE, MS FUNCTIONAL NUTRITIONIST
Slim Down Your Resolutions for Long-Term Success
It’s a familiar story: January begins with enthusiasm as we set our New Year’s resolutions. But by mid-February, our motivation starts waning, and those ambitious goals start to slip away. Bad habits creep back in, and the overwhelm of trying to do too much can derail even the best intentions.
If this sounds like you, you’re not alone. The good news is - it’s never too late to recommit and refocus. Here’s a plan for doing so:
Simplify: Instead of juggling multiple resolutions, choose one goal that resonates most with you and commit to it 100%.
Identify: Getting clear on what you hope to achieve and why it’s important to you is key to staying on track.
Trust The Process: Not all progress is immediate. Sustainable wellness takes time, patience and persistence.
Keep Going: Small, consistent efforts build momentum, leading to long-term success.
This March, let’s turn those forgotten resolutions into a reality - one achievable step at a time!

GROWING
UP STAMFORD IN THE 60S & 70S
Those of us who grew up in Stamford throughout the 60s and 70s remember with fondness The Starlight Drive-In. My dad was a policeman and often, dressed in my PJs, I’d accompany him while he worked. With a big box of popcorn, I watched Elvis and Disney movies over and over.
Skating with my brother Steve
“I remember the Christmas Lights strung across Bedford Street. It looked like Bedford Falls in It’s a Wonderful Life.”
-Kathy Struck
Years later in high school, I worked at the Palace when it was a movie theater. I saw Macon County Line and Murder on the Orient Express hundreds of times! We also had the Plaza, Stamford (now the Rich Forum) Avon, Ridgeway and State Theaters.
Ridgeway was home to Gimbels. Bloomingdales was located at UCONN downtown. The one store that many of us remember is CO Miller with its beautiful elevator complete with a gloved operator. That was the place to purchase scout uniforms and dancing apparel. For school shoes it was Greenberg’s around the corner next to the original Stamford Advocate building and close to Woolworth’s. Woolworth’s had everything. It was a great distraction while waiting for your bus.
The train station was significantly different. The southbound side had a moderate size ticket office and waiting room. The northbound side was little more than a shed with a small snack shop and a shoe-shine stand.
Bowlarama on Hamilton Avenue and Duck Pin Bowling in Shippan were an excellent way to spend a rainy day with friends. Anyone remember Moonlight Bowling?
Depending on where you grew up, parks meant a great deal, Chestnut Hill, Courtland Park, and, of course, Scalzi Park with many baseball and softball games. The 1971 Senior Babe Ruth World Series Champions!
Beaches were and still are one of Stamford’s treasures. Cove, Cummings, Dyke, and West Beaches were some of the best in summer memories. You could walk out into Long Island Sound and find horseshoe crabs, starfish, seahorses, and lots of clams.
Another fond memory was the summer concerts at the Stamford Museum's Ezio Pinza Theater. We danced. We laughed. Some of us stole our first kiss. The stage showcased national tours such as Up With People and local favs like Adonis and James Daniel.
The Stamford Museum and Nature Center was then and now a wonderful respite for nature and wildlife. The Planetarium amazed us and was a favorite of school and scout outings.
Bloomingdale's now UCONN
Shoe Shine at the train station
“On Atlantic Street, next to the Post Office, was the YMCA. Women weren’t allowed back then; not until the new YMCA was built on Washington Boulevard.”
-Frank Russo
Summer and Bedford were both two-way streets. We shopped at Bedford Records, Stevens Gifts, Frank Martin & Sons, Caldor’s, Sol’s Toys, Syl May’s and The Passage Shops.
Burdick Junior High School was the original Stamford High School on Forest Street, now an apartment building. I’m happy I got to attend Burdick. Eighth grade, for me in 1971, was an exceptional year of school!
Saint Joseph’s Hospital, today is the Tully Center, was where many of us were born. I remember the birth of my younger brother, Steven. Kids weren’t allowed to visit the rooms but they offered pony rides. My mother waved from the window holding the bundle of baby bro in her arms. Honestly, between sitting in a hospital room and a pony ride? I’ll take the pony ride every time!
Winters seemed much more “wintery” when we were kids. Sleigh riding, snow-fort building and ice-skating were top on the list of things to do. Depending where you grew-up is
“Boyle Stadium Thanksgiving Day games! Al’s Doghouse and Reddi Rooster on High Ridge.”
-Motts Pelazza
where you gathered. Coopers Pond, Sleepy Hallow Park and for us in Glenbrook, it was the Pitts, located at the end of Lenox Avenue.
Whenever a new Beatle record was released, we couldn’t get to King’s in the South End fast enough to buy the 45rpm. They had clothes, housewares, toys, garden supplies, furniture – you name it. A trip to King’s was always a treat.
Food and drink stimulate happy memories. Curly’s and Pellicci’s were, and still are, a Stamford favorite along with the Dairy Queen and Carry-Out. The Sitting Room in Bulls Head was a constant meeting place for years. There was The Blue Note, 3 D’s and Rapson’s.
Fresh meats could be found at the chicken slaughter house on Pacific Street (across from the Mall - I can still smell it) as well as Stamford Dressed Beef. Oven Fresh
“The Roger Smith and Davenport Hotels, Stage Door for Youth and the Pink Tent Festival.”
-Kathryn Colatrella
Bakery, Cerbone’s (now Beldotti’s) and Kralich’s on Cove Road sold the best breads and baked goods. Wetson’s on Hope Street could feed a family of four for under $2! Seriously, ten cent fries and fifteen cent burgers!
I am well aware that I sound like the elders of my youth who looked ancient at forty-five. Those who walked five miles to school, each way, uphill over broken glass, barefooted. But this was a time before computers and cell phones. We played kick ball in the street until dark or when the Glenbrook Fire Department sounded its 8pm horn. We got fancy-dressed for dances and cotillions, many of which were held at Laddins Terrace. It was our shared youth growing up in the one place where they can call us one of their own. And, it was magical.

Handmade Soap
Add a spa-like feel to your home with this refreshing soap recipe that's simple to make at home.
ARTICLE BY ANGI HOCKETT | PHOTOGRAPHY BY JANIE JONES
ingredients
• 2 lb. goat’s milk melt-and-pour soap
• 1 lemon rind, zested
• 3 tablespoons of dried lavender buds
• 2 tablespoons of honey
• 15 drops of lavender essential oil
• 6 drops of lemon essential oil
• jar or bowl for melting soap base
• Silicone mold
directions
Chop soap into smaller pieces. It will melt faster this way. Place in bowl and microwave (or double boil). Be careful to watch soap and not let it burn. If you are using microwave, heat in 30 second increments, stirring frequently. Once soap is melted add your essential oils first. Once essential oils have been added and mixed thoroughly, add the lavender buds, lemon zest and honey. Have your mold ready to go, on a flat, even surface. You’ll want to move quickly before the soap cools too much. Mix everything thoroughly again, and pour mixture into mold. Let the soap cool for 2-3 hours until bars are completely solid. Wrap or package however you like.
