Volume 2, Number 26 Cheshire’s Hometown Newspaper www.cheshirecitizen.com Thursday, March 20, 2014
The 26th annual Artsday, a celebration of hands-on art projects for children, drew hundreds of budding artists to Cheshire Academy, March 16.
The event, held for the first time at the academy’s dining hall, centered around a theme of “Found Art.” The 16 artists who taught during the event emphasized proj-
ects that used recycled or found materials.
Ah Moi Yip taught origami using recycled newspaper. An hour into the event, a line formed around her table, with children eager to make boxes, flowers, and small an-imals out of the folded paper.
Kayla Sotero, 8 , of Cheshire, was one of those in line, saying that origami was sure to be her favorite part of the day.
Jillian Manning, 12, also
from Cheshire, said that this was her third year coming to Artsday. She shared Sotero’s excitement over the origami.
“I really like everything here, though,” she said.
The free event, which drew 600 last year, is spon-sored by the Cheshire Performance and Fine Arts Committee, and Artsplace.
“What we’re really trying to get across,” said Maricelle

The town recently re-leased its proposed total budget of $104,284,680 for the upcoming fiscal year. The amount represents a 4 per-cent increase over last year’s budget.
A public hearing will be held on the budget proposal April 1 and the Town Council is expected to approve the
plan with modifications on April 8, said public informa-tion officer Arnett Talbot. The Town Charter requires budget approval by April 15.
Town Manager Michael A. Milone said the proposal was designed to meet cur-rent needs, but is also meant to be forward-looking. “We don’t want to look at one or two years, but five years” in

When Connecticut Light & Power officials met with the town’s Beautification Committee last week, town officials conveyed many res-idents’ concerns about the company’s aggressive tree trimming program.
After extended outages in the wake of storms during
the past few years, utility companies adopted an en-hanced tree trimming policy. Tree limbs falling on power lines cause the most outages during storms, according to Tricia Taskey Modifica, CL&P media relations manager.
“We felt the pruning was a little too aggressive” in some sections of town, said Public

Artsday
Riemann, one of the co-chair-women, “is that you don’t have to spend a lot of money to make cool art.”
That was also the motiva-tion behind this year’s theme.
“You don’t have to go to a craft store and spend a bunch of money on supplies to have fun,” Riemann said.
Young artists could choose from many different projects, including aluminum foil relief designs, printmaking, wire sculptures, milk jug butter-flies, and egg carton flowers.
Jillian’s father, Bob Manning,
said he liked the hands-on ap-proach. “It’s not just a show-and-tell,” he said.
Performance art was also featured for the first time this year, including demonstra-tions by drummers and fire twirlers, though the fire twirl-ers swapped their batons for tube socks filled with small bags of rice, and demonstrated the art of “poi.”
Joyce Karklel, another of Artsday’s co-chairwomen, said the choice to include new art forms “came organically.”
“We just thought about, ‘what else could we offer?’” she said.

While a natural gas ex-plosion in New York City has raised concerns over aging pipelines, state and local fire officials believe Connecticut has a good safety record.
Two apartment build-ings were leveled in East Harlem Wednesday, March 12, after a natural gas leak caused an explosion. As of Friday March 14, the explo-sion had resulted in eight deaths. The accidental blast has raised awareness about the dangers of a natural gas leaks and aging gas mains.
Sonora Mul, of Cheshire, a student at New York’s LIM College for fashion and merchandising, lives blocks away from the site of the explosion. She woke up Wednesday to the sound of fire alarms and sirens, she said.
“I didn’t really see any-thing,” she said, “but there was definitely a sad tone to the city. A lot of people were on edge.”
She added that the build-ing she lives in conducted fire drills for its tenants. While New York fire and police officials are still searching through the site, Mul said “everyone was in pretty good spirits” Friday.
“It was definitely sad that day, but people are defi-nitely looking out more and being more careful,” she said.
For Meriden Fire Marshal Steve Trella, the East Harlem explosion brought back memories of a simi-lar local blast. On March 29, 1998, a house on Lima Street was reduced to rubble after a stove filled the home with natural gas. The explosion sent one man to the hospi-tal who later died from his injuries.
“It was a Saturday morn-ing, about eight in the morn-ing,” Trella said in a phone interview Friday. “The dis-patcher called up and said they had a house explode with injuries and that ob-viously damaged other buildings around it. When I got there, the house was leveled.”
Trella said he had never seen anything “that serious”
in an explosion. To this day, he can “still picture the win-dow sills totally blown up in a tree 50- to 60-feet up.
“Portions of this house were scatted all over the square block area,” Trella continued. “It’s something I never saw before and hope-fully don’t see again.”
He acknowledged the causes of the explosions in Meriden and East Harlem were different. But the ac-cident with the gas main in New York, which was over 100 years old, should make cities and towns realize the importance of replacing ag-ing pipes, he said.
“Nothing lasts forever,” Trella said of the pipelines. “There’s going to be a point

Budget
budget planning, he said.Education and general gov-
ernment parts of the budget would each increase about 5 percent — $3,182,441 for edu-cation and $1,337,216 for gen-eral government. Education comprises 64 percent of the overall budget proposal, with an allotment of $66,890,621.
The rise in the educa-tion budget stems from two major components: $1,048,081 for medical bene-fits and $856,000 for full-day kindergarten.
Four main areas make up the general government in-crease: pensions, which increase by 18 percent; med-ical benefits, which rise 12 percent; contractual ser-
vices, such as agreements with CL&P, which go up 4 percent; and personnel ser-vices, which rise 3 percent. The pension increases were planned, Milone said.
Two items considered spe-cial revenue funds, the wa-ter pollution control plant and the pool, are not part of the general operating bud-get. The proposal allocates $3,484,674 for the plant and the pool gets $753,111. The pool was only budgeted for nine months, as it is expected to open Oct. 1 of this year due to tentative construction schedules, although those plans could change, Milone said.
Debt service would be reduced by 7 percent, or $566,057. The town has taken
an aggressive approach to cutting debt, Town Council Vice Chairman David Schrumm said in remarks last month.
The proposed tax rate would increase to 30.7 mills from the current 27.6 mills. A mill represents $1 in taxes for every $1,000 of assessed value. However, Milone said, this estimate presents a skewed picture because properties have been reval-ued this year, as they are once every five years.
Milone said the new bud-get proposal is the first in five years that “really does enhance programs and ser-vices,” adding that the town has a “pretty healthy” finan-cial outlook. He cited the po-tential for “unprecedented grand list growth” in the fu-ture, along with permit fees and inspection revenues from the coming outlet center project by WS Development in the north end of town and expected payment of back sewer bills owed by the state Department of Correction.

Energy projects planned in upcoming months
A townwide energy effi-ciency program is set to be-gin in late spring or early summer. It will involve 157 energy efficiency projects in municipal and school buildings.
Projects range from con-version from electric to gas heating and boiler upgrades in schools to installation of windows in town buildings. About 80 percent of the work
will be done in the schools. The work will be overseen
by Massachusetts-based en-ergy management f irm Ameresco. Projects will be financed through anticipated energy cost savings and util-ity rebates.
Ameresco will provide upfront funding and absorb costs if the expected cost sav-ings do not materialize. The total cost of the projects is expected to be around $10.2 million.
“The money for this does
not come from town cof-fers,” said Town Councilor James M. Sima at the March 11 council meeting. “It’s paid for through savings.”
The council unanimously approved an Energy Services Agreement with Ameresco, which specifies the terms and conditions of the program.
The agreement “allows Ameresco to get started,” Sima said, adding that Town

where these devices will have to be replaced.”
But replacing these pipe-lines would be expensive and take time to complete. If the gas lines under West Main
Street in Meriden were to be replaced, Trella said, the en-tire street would have to be worked on.
“To rip up West Main Street and replace that main gas line running up the street is a pretty involved process,” he said.
Trella added that Yankee
Gas routinely drives around the city, checking for leaks. If they find one, Trella said, it’s fixed immediately.
Mitch Gross, spokesman for Yankee Gas, emphasized safety is the company’s main priority.
“We respond to reports of leaks as quickly as possible,”
he said. “Our employees un-dergo thorough training ... and Yankee Gas continues to be hard at work to provide our customers with superior service.”
The state Public Utilities Regulatory Authority has a “gas pipeline safety unit,” which has been in place for several years.
“The pipeline safety unit conducts inspections and works with utilities to main-tain safety of the pipeline,” said Dennis Schain, spokes-man for the Department of Energy & Environmental Protection. “We have a great record in Connecticut in terms of pipeline safety.”
Trella agreed, adding that
even with the vast number of pipelines in the country, “you don’t have buildings blowing up everyday.”
In the wake of Wednesday’s explosion in East Harlem, Trella advises residents to be vigilant.
If there is an odor of gas in a building, he said, call 911.
“The lesson here is ap-parently people were able to smell natural gas in this building long before the ex-plosion actually happened,” he said.
“You smell gas, especially in a building, call 911 first and the fire department will make a preliminary assessment. Then they will notify Yankee Gas to further investigate.”

Trimming
Works Director George Noewatne.
William Bonamino, Town Beautification Committee chairman and a former tree trimming inspector, went fur-ther. “They cut too much, he said. “It’s been a little sloppy.”
In January, CL&P began a $1 million trimming initiative in Cheshire — expected to finish in summer — as part of a five-year, $300 million re-gional trimming program.
The program drew wide-spread complaints from res-idents about overzealous cutting and has been the
subject of statewide public hearings.
On Tuesday, the state’s Public Utilities Regulatory Authority asked CL&P and United Illuminating to vol-untarily stop the practice of “enhanced trimming” until it has reviewed the program. The technique involves es-tablishing ground-to-sky clearance above and below utility lines and is designated for areas with high customer volume or that have experi-enced past electrical perfor-mance problems.
Noewatne cited South Main Street and Fenn and Old Lane roads as areas where trees had been “heav-ily pruned.” He pointed out these areas to officials from CL&P and its contrac-tor, Trees Inc., at the Town Beautification Committee’s Monday meeting.
Noewatne also identified individual trees at the in-tersection of Route 10 and Higgins Road, Wallingford Road near the Cheshire Hillside Cemetery and Cook Hill Road that should be in-spected to determine whether they could be “handled in an-other way.” The representa-tives agreed to have the trees examined, he said.
Noewatne and Bonamino conveyed their concerns that crews are only cutting back the branches near wires, while ignoring the rest, leav-ing trees with an unbalanced appearance.
“They prune everything away from the line and leave the backside,” said Bonamino. “They have to balance it off.”
Noewatne echoed his sen-timents. “Pruning can’t de-tract from the overall look of Cheshire,” he said, adding
that if trees don’t have bal-anced pruning it’s sometimes best to take them down.
Residents must consent to the felling of any trees on their property, but have to re-quest a hearing if they object to pruning.
“We are working closely with the Cheshire tree war-den, as we do in all the com-munities we serve, to strike the right balance between aesthetics and reliable elec-tric service,” Modifica said in an email.
“We have seen fewer out-ages in communities where our arborists have been work-ing to maintain the proper clearance between limbs and power lines,” she wrote.
Noewatne also character-ized the meeting positively, acknowledging that both sides made valid points. He said the CL&P representa-tives addressed all the town’s issues on an individual ba-sis and answered questions about the extent of additional trimming planned and which trees will be coming down. They also promised to review the locations the town cited as specific concerns and com-municate with town officials about the program regularly.
“We woke them up to the problem,” Bonamino said.
Noewatne said the repre-sentatives told those pres-ent at the meeting that about 75 percent of the areas des-ignated for pruning have been marked. Beautification Commission members and other officials will revisit those sites, he said.
“We want to get out ahead of the trimming,” he said.

Suzio seems primed for another run
Republican former state Sen. Leonard Suzio may not have officially announced a bid for his old 13th District seat, but he’s been acting a lot like a candidate.
Suzio, a member of the Victim Advocate Advisory Board for the State of Connecticut, called for the resignation of Undersecretary of Criminal Justice Michael Lawlor March 13, claiming he consistently “misled the public about a dangerously flawed law.” Suzio has made eliminating the state’s risk re-duction credit law one of his central themes since a con-venience city store clerk was
shot and killed by a convicted criminal in 2012.
“In Meriden, I believe the controversy of early release programs will become an is-sue because it hits home,” Suzio said.
Suzio, who lost the 2012 election to Democrat state Sen. Dante Bartolomeo by 279 votes, said he’s been ap-proached by state GOP lead-ers and has been measuring support for a run among vot-ers in Cheshire, Meriden, Middlefield and Middletown, as well as his wife Kathryn, who is less than thrilled about another campaign but will support her husband’s decision.
Suzio believes Bartolomeo is vulnerable because of
her support of Democratic-backed issues. Newly elected Republican Mayor Manny Santos also gives the local GOP hope.
Meriden Democratic Town Committee Chairwoman Mildred Torres-Ferguson said Suzio is a right-wing candi-date whose policies don’t sit well with the average person in the district. She accused Suzio of focusing on two is-sues; the gas tax, and risk re-duction credits.
“I think the average voters expects more of their sena-tor than two issues,” Torres-Ferguson said.
She also disagreed that
Bartolomeo was vulnerable and said she had strong sup-port in the district and at the capitol. Bartolomeo also has a proven record of working with both parties and points to securing funds for the Cheshire Food Pantry and a Meriden downtown Hub project, passing a mental health bill and her efforts to prevent video gambling, she said.
“Both of those (bills) were bi-partisan,” Torres-Ferguson said. “That’s something he’s never been able to do.”
Bartolomeo said she’s too busy representing voters in the General Assembly’s leg-
islative session to address Suzio’s criticism.
“But in all my years, I’ve never heard anyone de-scribe me as vulnerable,” Bartolomeo said during a break at local forum with the governor. “I’m absolutely run-ning again, and thrilled to rep-resent the 13th District. I’m working day and night doing the job. I will begin campaign-ing after the session ends.”
State Sen. Joseph Markley, R-16th District, is among those encouraging Suzio to run again.
“It’s a strong possibility,” he said.

Don Petit’sMyth #1
“We will install your whole house for $39.” Do you really believe that’s all they are charging? It’s a shell game! They increase the price of the carpet & pad to cover the $39 “charge” of installation.
Myth #2“Buy one room of carpet and get 2 rooms free.” Another shell game, probably the most outrageous lie. Nothing is free! Who’s paying for that ad?
Myth #3“Buy one room of carpet and I’ll do your whole neighborhood for free” I just threw that in because evidently “they” believe “you” will believe anything!
Always a Quality, Clean, Honest and Affordable Installation

After leading his team to the New England Class B championship, Cheshire Academy boys basketball coach Kevin Kehoe was named coach of the year by the New England Prep School Men’s Basketball Association.
Kehoe, in his sixth year on the CA bench, led the Cats to their first New England championship since 1990 and just their third overall. He deferred the coaching honor to his players and the school, citing the late great UCLA coach, John Wooden.
“Wooden said it’s the ad-missions department and players who win champion-ships. That is true at Cheshire Academy this year,” he said. “The new regime in admis-sions and financial aid has a big picture of the institu-tion. We would not be Class B champions without that.”
The Cats went 16-6 in the regular season. They opened
the New England Class B tournament with a 69-61 quarterfinal win over St. Mark’s and followed with a 67-62 semifinal victory over Rivers School.
That sent CA on to the New
England Class B champion-ship game at Clark University in Worcester, Mass., where the Cats led from start to fin-ish in beating Brooks School

Boys Basketball
NORWICH — It’s the kind of moment made for the guy who’s not the star.
Closing seconds, down by one, inbounding under your own basket, the opposition focusing on your team’s top threat. That’s got “seize the day” written all over it.
Onto that stage, through an unguarded back door, strode Norwich Free Academy se-nior guard Ramel Williams March 11 against Cheshire
in the opening round of the CIAC Class LL boys basketball tournament.
Williams hit a wide-open layup with two seconds left to lift the No. 15 Wildcats over the No. 18 Rams, 38-37.
Cheshire, keeping closest tabs on NFA leading scorer Marcus Outlow, simply left Williams unattended. NFA center Ibo Rivera, with about half a tick left on the five-sec-ond count, stayed calm and dished for the winning bucket.
“That’s a great example of one person making a whole team better,” Cheshire coach Dan Lee said of Outlow, who’s heading to Boston College

Rams
to play Division I football. “He won the ECC semis with a 30-foot 3-pointer, so you
have to take that away from them. Then they ran a great mis-direct.
“You know, sometimes you lose a game where you get beat. That was a great play. They ran a great play. We de-
nied the guy we didn’t want to take a shot. The only problem was, on the back side of that they got a wide-open layup.”
Cheshire’s leading scorer, junior Andrew Yamin (23 points), had a final bid, a long
3-pointer from the top of the key, but the shot caught back iron.
“We made one more play than them,” noted NFA coach Chris Guisti. “That’s all you have to do in March.”
NFA traveled to face No. 2 Bridgeport Central March 13 and was bested 90-42. NFA ended its season with a mark of 19-7.
As for Cheshire, its terrific season, hardly measured by its final record, came to a close at 13-9. The Rams rolled to an unbeaten SCC Housatonic Division championship and suffered virtually all of its losses to top-10 teams.
“I don’t know if you’re go-ing to find a harder working group than this group,” said Lee. “Top to bottom, I think they got every bit of potential out of who they are.”
The Rams needed to rely on that ethic March 11 because they were so off their usual game. A team that thrives on outside shooting hit nothing from beyond the arc and pre-cious little from beyond 10 feet. Cheshire was 14-for-49 from the field (28.5 percent) and 9-for-16 from the foul line
(56.2).The interior was tough ter-
rain, too, because the Wildcats, with the likes of the 6-foot-3 Rivera and 6-6 Michael Ryan, got their hands on a lot of Cheshire shots.
Then there was the matter of having ridden a bus a long way to play on the court of a team that had just won its conference championship and was riding a seven-game win-ning streak.
Yet the Rams managed to hang in there. They did it with scrappy defense, quality re-bounding and an opportunis-tic transition game directed by senior point guard Collin Jordan.
NFA held the largest leads of the game: 18-11 midway through the second quarter and 24-19 early in the third.
Cheshire rallied by holding the Wildcats scoreless over long stretches: the last 3:35 of the first half, which ended with NFA up 20-15, and the last 4:30 of the third quarter, which ended with Cheshire ahead 28-26 thanks to Yamin’s buzzer-beating put-back of an air-balled 3-pointer.
That led to a fourth quar-ter that was a fitting finish to a game intense and physical and flat-out old school throughout. Each possession was crucial. There was seven lead changes over those final eight minutes.
There was also one tie. Yamin fed a cutting John Rizzo for an and-1 layup that made it 35-35 with 2:13 to play.
Williams hit the front end of a one-and-one at 1:52. Yamin answered by hitting two free throws at 1:30.

Kehoe
66-56.Their final record: 19-6.“They are a great team.
They went from tip to wire this year,” said Kehoe. “The players we brought to the ta-ble had a team concept. The group liked each other and it made it easy for them to learn how to play. We made sure they developed synergy with each other.”
The follow-up act will be a challenge. Only three players from this year’s team will re-turn next year.
A key piece in rebuilding will be the talent level of the 2014-15 post-grads.
Kehoe is undaunted. “We’re looking for a re-
peat,” he said. “We’re actively trying to put a team together now.”

Rams
Those last points by Yamin had Cheshire up 37-36, and the Rams seemed in good shape when Tyler Post blocked a shot and gained possession with just over a minute to go.
Needing only to drain the clock, the Rams instead turned it over when two Wildcats trapped Jordan along the sideline and a third, Jonathan Morrison, came up on the blind side and stripped the ball away.
Cheshire, in turn, defended well. The Wildcats had 26 sec-onds to work with and wound up settling for an ill-advised trey attempt by Morrison with nine seconds to go.
Rizzo snared the rebound for the Rams. There was con-tact, a scrap for the ball. A whistle: Jump ball, possession NFA, 0:04 on the clock.
“You could argue that John Rizzo maybe got fouled,” said Lee. “If he makes two foul shots, game over. All of sud-den we’re driving home [with a win], but that didn’t happen.”
No. What happened was Williams, who had drawn a technical foul in the third quarter, grabbed the hero’s role.
“Other guys had to make plays,” said Guisit, noting that NFA’s second-leading scorer, Desmond D’Elia-Miller, was out with a broken arm suffered Sunday in practice. “We lost 40 percent our scoring tonight, yet still beat a pretty good Cheshire team that played with grit and determination.”
Those intangibles don’t al-ways show up on the score-board, however. For the first time all year, the Rams were held to less than 40 points.
“As a coach, it’s important to share your own experiences in the grand scheme of life,” said Lee, who tragically lost his son Ryan several years ago. “This is only one game. I know right now it’s the worst thing that’s ever happened to them ... but it can’t overshadow what they did all season and part of maturing as individuals is learning how to deal with dis-appointment. I wish I could make it better, but after so many years, I know I can’t.”

Attorney Al Smith had re-viewed the document and found nothing objectionable. In a memo to councilors, Town Manager Michael A. Milone called the agreement “the catalyst for executing and implementing this plan.”
At the meeting, Milone said work will begin in 60 to 90 days once other con-tractual issues are resolved. “This is pretty much the last step,” he said.
Councilor Rob Oris ques-tioned the legal liability limit to Ameresco in the agree-ment, which caps claims the town can file at $1 million per incident and $2 million over-all. He said $2 million per claim and $5 million over-all is common in the private sector. Smith said the limits apply only to claims filed by Cheshire, not individuals, and the town’s claims would not be subject to limitations in certain circumstances.
Vincent Masciana, director of management services for Cheshire Public Schools, also notified councilors that the district may request $100,000 in case the energy projects require asbestos removal. He said the district had given Ameresco a copy of its asbes-tos management plan, which details the locations where the substance can be found, but wants to be prepared in case previously unknown as-bestos is discovery.
“This has been a long process and long overdue,” Councilor Patti-Flynn Harris said of the energy initiative. “It will bring tremendous savings to the town.”
