Class of 2014 follows its own path

The Cheshire High School class of 2014 graduated June 24 with 382 students awarded diplomas during the school’s 60th annual commencement exercise.

Graduating seniors packed the gym in the late afternoon prior to the ceremony attend-ing to last-minute details. Others milled outside, laugh-ing, hugging and taking self-ies with friends.

Students stood in clusters, discussing after-parties, sum-mer jobs, internships, college plans and how to cram as many recreational activities as possible into the next two months.

“We’ve finished 13 years of the public education system, and now we’re on to four years of the expensive pri-

vate education system,” said graduate Avery Clark, a mem-ber of the incoming freshman class of the Wentworth Insti-

tute of Technology in Boston.A few minutes before 6

p.m., the students filed in procession from the gym-

nasium area to Maclary Sta-dium, where they paused momentarily just outside the fence. As the opening notes of “Pomp and Circumstance”

played, students began to shuffle onto the stadium field.

Council OKs budget addressing finances, projects, communication

The Town Council has ap-proved Town Manager Mi-chael A. Milone’s goals and objectives for the upcoming fiscal year, which begins July 1 and ends June 30, 2015. The panel unanimously gave Mi-lone’s plan support during its

June 25 session.Milone must present a new

goals and objectives to the council annually. He laid out five goals for the next fiscal year: preserving the financial soundness and sustainabil-ity of municipal operations; enhancing the effectiveness and efficiency of town oper-ations; starting, continuing

or concluding town proj-ects; improving communica-tion with Cheshire officials and residents and providing professional development opportunities and support programs to town staff to im-prove the delivery of services.

Milone identified sev-eral target areas to help the town maintain stable and

sustainable finances, includ-ing tracking the energy effi-ciency initiatives underway in town and school buildings, promoting economic devel-opment, continuing the effort to recoup costs of phospho-rous removal at the wastewa-ter treatment plant and back sewer bills at the state correc-tional facilities in town.

Connecticut will reimburse Cheshire for 30 percent of the phosphorous removal pro-cess. The state Claims Com-missioner will hear the town’s $1.8 million claim against the Department of Correction for unpaid sewer bills. A date has not been set for the hearing.

2014 is a banner year for ticks, according to Dr. Kirby Stafford from the Department of Entomology at the Con-necticut Agricultural Exper-iment Station. According to the Connecticut Department of Public Health, tick popula-tion is a major factor in the prevalence of Lyme Disease.

“Lyme Disease is trans-mitted through the bite of infected ticks, may not have any initial symptoms, can be difficult to diagnose, and re-quires active personal protec-tion participation from you to remove ticks as soon as pos-sible and do what you can to prevent tick bites,” the DPH website states.

Stafford, an entomologist, collects ticks as part of his re-search, and although collec-

tion is ongoing and numbers are not finalized, “I would say tick numbers are higher than they have been in previ-ous years. We certainly saw a lot of adult tick activity this spring,” Stafford said.

Stafford explained that the previous winter may have been beneficial to the arach-nids. In years with a lot of snow, and where the snow is seldom completely melted, the snow forms an insulated blanket that protects ticks from the worst of the cold, as well as providing them with a source of moisture. Stafford said that it was likely many adult ticks survived the win-ter considering the number of adults seen this spring, which indicates a higher population for this year.

Stafford has participated in numerous tick manage-ment studies. One promising

jamin Saccoccio spoke about how he struggled to discover himself as a freshman, and tried to become a skater just to fit in. He joined a group of skateboarders, and realized that “there are no truly bad people,” contrary to stereo-types, he said. “Everyone has a story and sometimes you have to be part of it to truly understand.” Saccoccio said he gradually learned to ac-cept himself, even though he

temporarily gave up at times. “Identity is freedom,” he said. “Find who you are and learn to love who you were.”

Assistant Principal Rich-ard R. Sansoucy recognized 254 students who earned membership to various ac-ademic honor societies. He also thanked those who will be entering the armed forces, drawing sustained applause from the audience. Board of Education Chairman Gerald Brittingham, a former Ma-rine, later commended the

class and school for the col-lective support it demon-strates toward the military and veterans in general.

Salutatorian Rohan S. Roy began his remarks by wishing his mom a happy birthday. He wanted her to know that he didn’t forget, even during one of the most momentous occa-sions of his life. Roy reflected on the parallel experience he and many of his classmates shared four years ago, walk-ing across the Dodd Middle School stage “to receive a pa-per that says ‘we did it.’ ”

Roy said they were still heavily reliant on guidance from teachers, parents and other adults. However, now that they’ve passed the first major milestone of their adult lives, the time has come to challenge what they’ve been told. “We spent the last 12 years listening so that we can now question everything,”

he said. Roy invoked giants of the scientific field, such as Isaac Newton, Albert Ein-stein and Nicolaus Coperni-cus, who bucked the thought conventions of their day and effectively told the authori-ties in their eras, “to hell with your laws.”

“Progress demands that we question everything around us,” he said. “Erase every-thing,” he added, employing scholastic-oriented imagery to reinforce his point.

Valedictorian Aohan Dang followed Roy with a less provocative address, thank-ing the school superinten-dent, principal and staff members. In added notes of levity, he declared it “a huge, huge honor — for all of you to be here listening to my beau-tiful voice.”

Continuing his offbeat ad-dress, Dang compared the high school experience to the game Pokemon. He com-pared the different types of teenagers to characters in the

game and said that both have the chance to evolve. Dang said the game’s catchphrase, “gotta catch em all,” is like students’ attempt to seize as much knowledge as they can.

Also speaking at the cere-mony was graduate Anthony Louis Carbone Jr. He alluded to having a “troubled past” and professed his belief that had he spent the “last four years anywhere else besides Ram Land, (he) wouldn’t be here today.”

“The love and compassion at this school is real,” he said.

Principal Jeffrey F. Solan, School Superintendent Greg J. Florio and Brittingham rounded out the ceremony’s slate of speakers. Solan com-pared high school to “training wheels” on a bicycle.

“Now it’s time to ride on your own,” he said, adding that the graduates will have to “pedal harder” and should expect some “skinned knees” as they learn to maintain balance.

Florio acknowledged that most graduation speeches is-

sue the same basic challenge to “make the world a better place.” However, he knew class of 2014 has already be-gun to fulfill that commission. “You have become a group that this community could be so proud of,” he said.

Brittingham told the class that “what (they’ve) achieved tonight is not what (their) ed-ucation is about.” Education is not just about success, but failure, and how they respond to and overcome it, he said.

Following the speeches,

seniors finally received their diplomas. John Bellanto-nio beamed as he heard his daughter Danielle Bellanto-nio’s name announced. “We never had any doubt with

her,” she said. “I’m a proud and devoted aunt,” added Sandy Ravelli, who traveled from Massachusetts to watch her niece Danielle walk in the ceremony.

Alumni Samantha Nizich, 20, came to see her brother,

Adam Nizich, graduate. She said the advice she would pass on to him is to “don’t let what anyone says ever get you down because you are the best person I know.”

After the graduates had all received diplomas, they were told to flip the tassels on their mortarboards to symbolize

their commencement. How-ever, putting Roy’s message into practice, they proceeded to do something else that they weren’t given clearance to do — the traditional grad-uation cap toss.

None of the parents and teachers seemed to mind very much.

Councilor Liz Linehan ex-pressed concern that the town center was singled out for economic development. She hopes it doesn’t mean the town is shifting its em-phasis away from West Main Street, which is located in her district.

The language of the pro-vision was later amended to include West Main as a focus for development along with the town center.

Milone cited a series of steps that he hopes will enhance operations: a re-organization of the police de-partment that is expected to be finished in February; a fire department personnel study aimed at optimizing emer-gency response; establish-ment of a consumption-based user fee for water treatment plant services, increased use of e-commerce by town de-partments; staff integration

between the public works and parks and recreation de-partments and use of new technology.

Milone highlighted proj-ects in progress or expected to start soon, including in-stallation of a new cover at the community pool, the wastewater treatment plant upgrade, interconnection of Cheshire’s linear trail and road maintenance and improvements.

To improve communica-tions with elected officials and residents, Milone pro-posed regular meetings and exchanges between himself and each council member,

the creation of a meetings calendar on the town website, continuing the use of local ac-cess television and new Town Hall broadcasting technology and stepping up use of social media.

In the area of staff support and professional develop-ment, Milone recommended further access to wellness and safety programs for Cheshire employees, along with addi-tional workshops, seminars, webinars and other training opportunities.

method is using biopesticides to control the tick population, like MET-52, a strain of a nat-urally occurring fungus that Stafford studied in 2005 and 2007. “It’s relatively effec-tive, you can find about 58 to 75 percent control based on my original trials,” Stafford said. Unlike some traditional pesticides, the fungus-based approach has the advantage of “being safe for a lot of non-targets, such as honey-bees and that kind of stuff,” Stafford said.

Stafford also studied bait boxes treated with Fipronil – the same active ingredient in Frontline to prevent ticks on dogs. Rodents, which are the source of Lyme Disease, are exposed to the Fipronil in the bait boxes, and as a result kill ticks they come in con-tact with, thus preventing the ticks from becoming carriers of Lyme Disease.

The study was done on Mason’s Island near Mys-tic, Conn. where it proved “extremely successful,” ac-cording to Stafford, who em-phasized that although the

results of the trial were prom-ising, dealing with an inland residential neighborhood is a different matter.

Tick TipsPreventing Lyme disease requires that you

prevent ticks from getting on your skin. When you go outside into areas where ticks can be found, it is helpful to:

• Avoid tall grass and over-grown, brushy areas.

• Stay in the middle of trails in the woods.

• Wear light-colored clothing so the ticks can be easily seen.

• Wear long pants to provide a better barrier than shorts.

• Tuck pants into socks creates a barrier and ticks will not be able to get to your skin.

• Wear long-sleeved shirts and closed shoes when in tick infested areas.

• Use insect repellent to significantly reduce the chance of tick bites and the transmission of Lyme disease and other tick-borne diseases.

• DEET is the primary active ingredient in most tick repellents and is considered the most effective. It must be used as directed on the container.

Op-Ed Cheshire veteran takes Day of Honor trip

The dreams of 1,000 World War II veterans have been fulfilled thanks to American Warrior, a non-profit organi-zation founded seven years ago. On April 26, 78 World War II veterans and 20 Ko-rean War veterans made the Day of Honor trip to Wash-ington, D.C. to visit the Na-tional WWII Memorial and other memorials founded to honor their service to the United States.

Cheshire resident Matthew Callahan was among the vet-erans in the group. Callahan, 95, is a WWII veteran who served with the Navy in both the Atlantic and Pacific. He wanted to take the trip espe-cially since the one time he visited Washington, D.C., the memorials were shut down. The American Warrior expe-rience was “a great day,” he said. “The guardians watched

over us so we couldn’t get lost.

Many of the travelers, in-cluding Callahan, gathered June 21 at Northeast Utilities in Berlin to watch a video about the 14-hour excursion and to reminisce. They each received a commemorative booklet and DVD of photo-graphs, taken by volunteer Paul Bonneau to record the experience.

The April trip brought the total to 1,000 veterans who have made the trip, at no cost to them. American War-rior, based in Norwich, was founded in 2006 by Connecti-cut resident Christopher D. Coutu after he and his wife, Nergina, visited the National WWII memorial and noticed there were few veterans of that era present. His own grandfather and six great-un-cles never saw the site.

Coutu, who was then 30 years old, did not want the surviving servicemen and

women – including his elderly uncle – to never have the op-portunity to visit the memori-als established in their honor. A U.S. Air Force veteran and an officer in the Army Na-tional Guard, Coutu founded American Warrior and with great community support

and his own savings, the first Day of Honor was held Sept. 15, 2007 with 100 WWII vet-erans and 49 guardians - es-corts - taking the excursion, his uncle among them.

This year, the veterans av-eraged 87 years old and were from 53 Connecticut towns,

Rhode Island, New York and Massachusetts. The old-est traveler was 99 years old and the youngest was 74. The group included three female WWII veterans, including a Navy nurse. Branches of ser-vice represented were Air National Guard, Army, Coast Guard, Marines, Navy, Naval Air and Navy Armed Guard. A total of 47 guardians and 35 Navy volunteers accompa-nied the veterans, and 50 ad-ditional volunteers met them in D.C.

Day of Honor began with the travelers gathering at Bradley International Air-port at 7:30 a.m. where they boarded a chartered U.S. Air-ways flight. Upon arrival at Ronald Reagan National Air-port, the group received a he-ro’s welcome. The four motor coaches were accompanied by a motorcycle escort to the National WWII Memorial

My family and I are always on the hunt for fun, inexpensive things to do in Connecti-cut, and when I heard about The Submarine Force Library & Museum and Home of the USS Nautilus in Groton, I was intrigued. If I had known admission and parking were free, we would have visited sooner. We finally made the trek last month, when my in-laws were in town, and we were all impressed.

On the day we went, there was a kids’ craft table near the entrance, where children (and their helpful parents) could select from several building materials, and create a small ship. When the ship was ready, they would test the seaworthiness by putting it in water, and adding pennies, one at a time. One girl had almost 300 pennies in her ship.

While the kids moved on to the sub-marine attack centers, and pretended to command a vessel, most of the adults in our group wandered on to the main exhibit area, where we ended up spending about an hour looking at artifacts and photos, reading about key events and players in the subma-rine’s history, and admiring an incredible scale model of the USS Gato, complete with cutouts to see the interior of the sub.

We all enjoyed a short film, which was

especially great for my youngest child, who can’t read any of the information throughout the museum.

After taking in the sights inside the mu-seum, it was time to step outside to the USS Nautilus. I’ve been on board a naval ship before, but never have I set foot on a subma-

rine, and I was excited. So excited, in fact, that I forgot to worry about my claustrophobia, and it was a non-is-sue during the self-guided tour.

Each of us were given a wand-shaped listening device as we en-tered the submarine, which led us through the vessel, explained what we were looking at, and talked about what life was like on a submarine. Self-guided tours with hand-held listening devices are a great way to

expose kids to new topics. I was able to stop and explain things to my daughter, while my husband did the same with our son. We pointed out things that would be interesting to the kids, like the ice cream machine in the crew’s mess hall, or how they called Kool-Aid “bug juice.”

I thought I had done a good job sup-plementing the information in the audio tour, until we were leaving the sub, and my

and a wreath was laid at the Connecticut pillar in honor of those men and women who never made the journey. Lunch followed and the day continued with visits to the Korean, Navy, Iwo Jima and Air Force monuments. Upon return to Hartford, 500 patri-ots greeted the travelers.

“For me, the Marines Me-morial was the greatest, it just got to me,” Callahan said.

Organizers said it takes months of planning to coor-dinate the trip, bringing to-gether the servicemen and women, guardians and other volunteers as well as raising

the funds. All veterans fly for free, said Sue Ponder, trea-surer of the American War-rior Board of Directors, data manager and primary logis-tics coordinator.

This group of WWII vet-erans may be the last of that generation who will be mak-ing the American Warrior trip, Coutu said. Organizers anticipate transitioning the focus of the trips to be on the Korean vets, but only if ade-quate funds can be raised.

The experience has en-couraged some of the ser-vicemen and women to talk about their military service for the first time to their fam-ily members. “The stories are amazing,” Ponder said.

solved to serve them as well as they were serving us. Af-ter months of heated debate and hard-fought compromise, President Franklin D. Roo-sevelt signed the Service-men’s Readjustment Act of 1944, better known as the GI Bill of Rights.

When patriots who had left our shores as barely more than boys returned as heroes, the GI Bill allowed them to launch their civilian lives. It provided unemploy-ment benefits, home loan guaranties, and subsidies for a college education. This bill marked the first time higher

education was available to large cross-sections of the American people. Because veterans took advantage of this unprecedented oppor-tunity, our Nation developed the most talented workforce in history. Millions excelled in their careers, started fam-ilies, bought new homes, or even started new businesses, helping to build the greatest middle class the world has ever known.

The GI Bill proved that America prospers when we put a good education within the reach of those willing to work for it. Under the Post-9/11 GI Bill, our Nation has extended this chance to a

new generation. This law has helped more than a million veterans, service members, and military families pursue a college education. And across our country, employers can tap into a vast pool of talent — men and women who are not only highly educated but have also served with honor in the most dangerous cor-ners of the earth.

Today, let us celebrate 70 years of opportunity. Let us remember our sacred debt to our veterans and re-call that when we give them the chance to excel, there is no limit to what they might accomplish.

daughter looked around in surprise. “Wait,” she ques-tioned the crew member taking our listening devices, “Are we on a boat?”

The Submarine Force Library and Museum was a great way to spend the afternoon, and is an incred-

In Brief

Fresh, local produce is just a click awayDinner is taking on a

whole new meaning these days, as people are giving some thought to the man-ner in which it got to their plate. They want to know that humane and sustainable practices were used. And thanks to Jake Teitelbaum, of Durham, they have this in-

formation at their fingertips.A year ago Teitelbaum, a

student at Wake Forest Uni-versity, in Winston-Salem, N. C., came up with the idea for Fresh Food Network, an on-line platform that facilitates the connection between pro-ducer and consumer.

“I come from a long line of people in the medical profession,” he said, “and eating well was instilled in

me at a young age. We gave a lot of attention to what we ate, with the focus on fresh fruits and vegetables, not processed foods. At break-fast we’d talk about what we’d be having for dinner, and on vacations we’d plan our meals. We enjoy food so much. It’s a part of who we are as a family.”

When he was 13, a visit to his sister put him on the

path he is on today. He was eating a meat dish, and his sister, a recent vegetarian, explained to him how it went from being an animal to a food product. “I’d had no idea about this,” Teitelbaum said. “The mass production of meat is for the most part very wrong and disturbing. As I learned more about the food industry, I saw that the local food system is a viable

alternative. When you go to the store and see labels like cage-free and organic, you don’t know if these certifi-cations are legitimate. But when you have a relation-ship with the farmer you can hold him accountable for what he gives you.

“I enjoy eating meat, so rather than avoiding the

entire system completely, I wanted to support the farm-ers who make a concerted ef-fort to do it right and treat their animals humanely. The farmers I’ve talked to say their animals are happy throughout their lives.

“That lecture from my sister was an eye-opener. For the last seven years I’ve been thinking about what I eat and its implications for my community, my health, and the planet.”

Fresh Food Network al-lows consumers to go online and buy directly from local farmers.

The produce is organic, and the animals have been raised humanely. Consumers have the choice of a home delivery or picking up their food from a convenient loca-

tion in Durham.The website also provides

recipes and nutritional ad-vice, and a list of food busi-nesses that serve food that was grown sustainably and raised humanely.

“People are more aware

now,” Teitelbaum said. “They want to know where their food comes from. Fresh Food Network makes it easy to learn about and buy healthy food that encom-passes respect for the ani-mals and the environment.

We’re building community through food.”

Julie Swanson Augeri, of Durham, is a member of this community. “I couldn’t have been happier with the quality of the food that I or-dered,” she said. “And I really like the idea of supporting local farmers, and the con-

venience of having it come to my doorstep. It’s such a great service for people like me who work full-time and are very busy. I like anything that makes my life easier and healthier.”

Town Manager Michael A. Milone updated the Town Council June 25 on the status of the property at 22 Winslow Road, where resident and hoarder Beverly Mitchell was found dead on June 14 after the floor of her home collapsed under the weight of accumulated items.

Milone said abatement of the Winslow Road property would cost in the range of $9,000 to $14,000, a price tag that was originally expected to be as high as $24,000. The town has already received one demolition estimate from a company for between $7,000 and $10,000 and is waiting on a second that is expected to be similarly priced.

Chesprocott Health Direc-tor Maura Esposito will make the final recommendation as to whether to demolish, along with the town building in-spector, Milone said.

Garbage removal on the property is projected to cost $2,000 to $3,000 and extermi-nation $400 to $500, he said.

Milone said Cheshire hired an exterminator to deal with likely vermin infestation in the residence “in the interest of not having an outbreak” of creatures overrunning the neighborhood after potential demolition. Extermination will take two weeks, he said.

Some minor additional ex-penses may be necessary, Mi-lone added.

Milone said Mitchell’s two closest relatives have been contacted and have signed-off on demolition of the house, but haven’t yet signed any documents to formalize their consent.

Demolition will also re-quire a court order, he said.

One potential “new wrin-kle” that could complicate potential demolition is that a company with eight years and $50,000 of tax liens on the property has notified Cheshire that it wants to maintain the option of re-habilitating it. The firm has been given a week to make that determination, although it can’t just simply make the decision to renovate because it doesn’t own the land, Mi-lone said.

Legal action may ultimately be necessary to resolve the matter if an agreement can’t be negotiated, he said.

Councilor Tom Ruocco asked if the house could fea-sibly be remediated. Milone acknowledged that he’s “not a builder,” but said the com-pany would base the deci-sion on the cost of making the home “rehabitable.”

Milone said the town is currently monitoring and securing the property. If the company opts to foreclose, it will assume full responsi-bility of the premises, after

which it could still contract the town to demolish the house, he said.

Fireworks safety for the 4th of July The American Pyrotech-

nics Association says Ameri-cans use more than six times the amount of fireworks now than they did less than 40 years ago.

In that same time period, fireworks-related injuries in the United States have plum-meted, according to the U.S. Consumer Products Safety Commission.

One reason for the drop in accidents is more emphasis on safe handling of fireworks. The APA offers the following advice:

Take precautions. Always keep a hose and a bucket of water nearby in case of emergencies.

Light one at a time. Never light two or more fireworks or sparklers at the same time.

Keep it outside. Only use fireworks and sparklers out-doors on flat, hard surfaces in clear areas and away from houses, buildings and dry grass.

Have adult supervision.

Never allow young children to light or handle fireworks or sparklers. Be aware of the minimum permitted age in your state.Adults should al-ways be present when light-ing or handling fireworks or sparklers.

Stay alert. Never mix alco-hol or other substances with fireworks or sparklers.

Stay clear. Never hold a lit firework in your hand. Keep as far from them as possible

when lighting.Let sleeping fireworks lie.

Never try to relight fireworks or sparklers that do not ignite. Wait 15 to 20 minutes before approaching them, then soak them with water and throw them away.

Protect your pets. Animals are often frightened by the sounds of fireworks. Protect your “best friends” by keep-ing them indoors, secure and away from the loud, sudden

noises.“As we commemorate this

national holiday with fire-works and sparklers, it’s im-portant to keep safety top of mind,” said Sherri Fallin, spokesperson for TNT Fire-works East.

Individuals should check local and state laws and only purchase fireworks and spar-klers that are legally per-mitted. Also, people are encouraged to check the label and instructions on both fire-works and sparklers to ensure they come from a reliable, le-gal and licensed source.

The APA is the leading trade association of the fire-works industry. The APA sup-ports and promotes safety standards for all aspects of fireworks. The APA has di-verse membership including regulated and licensed manu-facturers, distributors, whole-salers, retailers, importers and suppliers of fireworks. Additional information about the fireworks industry can be found at www.americanpyro.com.

Health Briefs State will oversee waste landfill in Wallingford

The Department of Energy and Environmental Protec-tion has agreed to take re-sponsibility for the 82-acre waste disposal landfill in Wallingford, where North Haven is disposing of 14,400 tons of residential and com-mercial refuse this fiscal year.

DEEP is taking over the site from the Connecticut Resto-ration Resources Authority, a private organization that has been responsible for the

landfill since 1990. The North Haven Board of Selectmen passed a resolution June 23 transferring the permit from CRRA to DEEP which will be finalized when all five towns served by the landfill pass similar resolutions.

The other towns are Wallingford, Cheshire, Ham-den and Meriden.

North Haven has used Co-vanta to transport its waste to another site in Wallingford since 2008 because its tipping fees are lower than CRRA’s. Covanta’s tipping fees are $65

per ton compared to $75 for CRRA. North Haven will con-tinue to use Covanta to dis-pose of its waste but benefits from DEEP’s move because it will be responsible for the site if CRRA were to fail.

“The benefit is to have state oversight instead of a pri-vate entity that might not be around,” said First Selectman

Mike Freda.DEEP deputy commis-

sioner Macky McClearly attended the selectmen’s meeting. He said, “We’ll leverage the funds to manage the landfill. It’s a great benefit to the towns because the state is taking the responsibility.”

Freda said, “It protects us long term.”
