The town kicked off its 18th annual Relay for Life at the high school stadium Fri-day, June 13. Participants have contributed $7 million to the fight against cancer through the event since 1997.

Most of the major events on the schedule were com-pleted before evening thun-derstorms forced evacuation of the field. The event offi-cially began at 4 p.m., though

people began arriving early in the morning, said Luci Chap-lin, community specialist for the American Cancer Soci-ety, which organizes Relay for Life.

Cruel Metrics, a band made up of Cheshire High School students, played music to warm up the crowd. Nick Monllos, a senior who plays bass, said the group’s perfor-mance was their first at Relay for Life, though some mem-bers had played the event previously with other musi-

cal outfits. He said the players were eager to come back and perform again because “it’s a really good cause, and it’s a great atmosphere.”

Austin Ingarra, a soph-omore at the high school, walked laps in a makeshift gown he would also wear for the “Miss Relay” pageant, while holding up a cup for donations. He said he and his fellow contestants — all of whom were male — agreed

to dress up like female pag-eant entrants because of the chance to “help millions of people and raise money for them.”

Other special fundraisers that took place at the event included raffles, a silent auc-tion and a bachelor auction.

Local grade-schoolers took the track at 5:30 p.m. for the Kids Care program, which featured games and activities.

Cheshire’s elementary schools each assembled their own teams and did their own fundraising, and the program was the reward for their efforts, said Catherine

Takizawa, Kids Care co-chair-woman. “It’s a way to get the kids involved at an early age in a fun way,” she said.

Master of Ceremonies Adam River, a radio DJ for KC 101, formally welcomed par-ticipants at the 6 p.m. open-ing ceremonies.

He told those assembled that they were part of a global four million person Relay for Life team that is “creating a world with less cancer and more birthdays.”

“Dream big, hope big and relay big,” River added. “Let’s make some noise. Silence won’t finish the fight, but ac-tion will.”

Town Council Chairman Timothy P. Slocum also wel-comed those present on be-half of Cheshire. The town’s residents “have a can-do spirit of volunteerism that few communities can match,” he said.

His voice breaking with emotion, Slocum spoke of having lost his wife, Kristen, to cancer in February, as well as his father several years earlier. However, he said his “story of personal sadness and pain” has the potential to become part of a larger triumph. “Your commitment matters,” he said. “Finish the fight.”

Following the introductory comments, cancer patients who have entered remission

filed on to the track for the Survivors’ Lap. John Coady, of Wallingford, said he was grateful to be able to take part in the celebratory walk, even if it was to a limited extent. “I’m fighting cancer,” he said. “If I make it one lap, that’s good.”

Af ter the surv ivors rounded the track once, they were joined by cancer care professionals and volunteers for the Caregivers’ Lap. John Connolly and Diane Mucik, of Meriden, said caregivers play a support role in the team ef-fort against cancer.

“We make sure they get rides to their doctor ap-pointments or whatever they need,” Connolly said.

“And we make them laugh and make them smile,” Mucik added.

The survivors and caregiv-ers were subsequently joined by the rest of the relay partic-ipants for a third ceremonial lap, after which the track was opened up for about 90 min-utes of open relay before the grounds were cleared.

Chaplin’s spirits were not dampened by the delay and soggy weather.

“It’s just a diagnosis of rain, not cancer,” she said. “Rain or shine, cancer will still be here, but so will we.”

Cheshire YMCA teacher Ai-mee Robinson said the name of her and her colleagues’ Re-lay For Life team, YMCA-Yay Make Cancer Go Away, “goes along with who we are.”

“That’s our purpose,” she said. “We want it to be gone.”

Robinson said the chil-dren’s-oriented title is fitting for a team of childcare profes-sionals, many of whom also have lost loved ones to can-

cer. The YMCA lost one of its teachers to the disease a few years ago. Another teacher re-cently lost her father to the affliction after it had already claimed the life of her mother, Robinson said.

Robinson said cancer has also taken some of her fam-ily members. “There’s not one person in this world that doesn’t know someone that’s been affected by it,” she said.

The organization also runs a program for cancer survivors.

Robinson, a team co-cap-tain, said members worked out together for their physical

training, along with raising money for the relay, a nation-wide cancer awareness event and fundraiser held overnight starting Friday June 13 through to Saturday, June 14. It is orga-nized by the American Cancer Society and involves walk-ing laps to raise money for the fight against the disease. The team has raised between $3,000 and $4,000 so far be-tween joint and individual ef-forts, she said.

“We all feel so good that we’re raising money to help this cause, and we’re gonna continue as long as we’re at

the YMCA,” she said. The team also participated in last year’s event.

Team fundraisers have in-cluded a YMCA-sponsored casino bus trip and a par-

ents’ date-night for which the YMCA provided babysitting. Members also contribute to the effort by paying to partici-

the strawberry shortcake, staked out in the center of all the activity. The popular tent, an oasis of shortcakes and

seating, was standing room only at times.

While lines to the tent were long, these moved quickly. The Cheshire Community Band flanked the tent on one

side and provided a grassy spot for festival-goers to park their chairs and blankets to listen to an afternoon of iconic American tunes. The rest of the green was filled with lo-

cal non-profit organizations, including Artsplace and the Cheshire Community Food Pantry. There were plenty of kid-friendly games and fun with a bouncy house, soft in-

flatable slide, a putting green, and face-painting. A “Farm on Wheels” petting zoo was available, across the way, for those curious kids to touch a small cow, a friendly goat, or snoozy sheep. Vendors set-up shop between the church and the Cheshire Historical Soci-ety to showcase and sell their wares, including antiques, bric-a-brac, jewelry, and clothing.

Cheshire woman found dead in basement after long search

A 66-year-old woman who lived alone in her 22 Winslow Road home was found dead Saturday, June 14, in the basement under a pile of debris after a day-long search.

Police responded to a call for a welfare check on Bev-erly Mitchell, June 13, after a postal carrier found mail had piled up at the home for about a week and a half. The investigation is ongoing and

being treated as a hazmat situation.

Police determined that there was a structural col-lapse of the first floor based on the weight of the content of the house.

“The floor gave way and collapsed into the basement. The contents of that room caved in on top of her,” said Sgt. Kevin O’Donnell.

“We did a well being and we determined it wasn’t safe to continue searching and asked for assistance when we saw the first floor collapsed,” O’Donnell said.

“We contacted Connecti-cut Homeland, who brought special equipment for search and rescue.”

The fire department went with special equipment, the state assisted with cadaver dogs and the Connecticut Urban Search and Rescue Unit, Connecticut’s Depart-ment of Emergency Man-agement and Homeland Security, the state Depart-ment of Energy and Envi-ronmental Protect and state police dogs.

Searchers didn’t find her until Saturday.

They were eventually able to make entry by cutting into the side of the home, O’Don-nell said.

Police found stacks of de-bris piled to the ceiling.

half-dozen two-acre lots, which would be reached by a new town-approved access road. The road would end in a cul-de-sac.

One of the lots would be built in between the two ex-isting houses near Cook Hill. The others would be built north and west of the road.

Napolitano escorted Envi-ronmental Planner Suzanne

Simone and members of the town’s Inland Wetlands and Watercourses Commission on a site walk Monday eve-ning. The commission is one of several municipal boards that must grant approval be-fore any work can begin.

Napolitano said the prop-erty contains three wetlands zones, one each on its western and northern edges that won’t be impacted by development, along with an extended strip to the east of the proposed ac-cess road. Commission mem-

ber Charles Dimmick said the wetlands on the western pe-rimeter are also in the vicinity of a “basaltic dike,” a type of

geologic rock formation cre-ated by volcanic activity.

Napolitano said the south-eastern portion of the

property would contain a stormwater basin to handle discharge from the planned lots. The feature “enables you to manage runoff so it involves more of a metered flow,” be-fore it ultimately ends up in existing storm drains on Cook Hill, he said.

Members raised two is-sues during the site tour. Ker-rie Dunne asked Napolitano whether the access road would come within a 50 feet buffer zone of the wetlands. Napoli-tano said it “nips the corner” of the zone in one spot, but never comes any closer to the wetlands than 40 feet. Dim-mick expressed concern about native botanical species in the eastern wetlands, particularly the milkweed plant, which he said is vital to maintaining the habitat of the Monarch butter-fly. Napolitano said invasive plant species can replaced by a mix of plantings, including native species, when they’re cleared from the area, rather than using only grass.

Aside from those points, members gave Napolitano mostly positive feedback. Thom Norback said the parcel is a beautiful location to build new homes..

Simone said the purpose of a site walk is to identify items related to a development plan and tab them for discussion at future meetings. The commis-sion is expected to continue its consideration of the pro-posal at its June 17 meeting.

CHESHIRE — U.S. Navy Capt. Keith Henry, a town native, will as-sume command of the U.S. Naval Air Facility Misawa in Japan, June 20.

Henry, a 23-year Navy veteran, will relieve the NAF Misawa Command-ing Officer Capt. Chris Rodeman in a change of command ceremony in one of the base’s aircraft hangars. Ro-deman will transfer into a faculty po-sition at the National War College in Washington D.C.

Prior to being named the base’s new Commanding Officer, Henry served as the Air and Missile Defense Offi-cer for the U.S. 7th Fleet. He previ-ously held the position of Air Boss on the USS George Washington and was a decorated strike fighter squadron commander.

pate in “dress-down Tuesday” once per month and selling “luminaries,” special light-up bags used during relay events. People personalize the bags by having them emblazoned with names of victims and survi-vors of cancer they know, as well as those now battling it.

Luci Chaplin, a community specialist with the American Cancer Society said, “Survi-vors and caregivers are equally important” in the fight against cancer. She said all Relay For Life events are run overnight because of the symbolism of sunset, darkness and sunrise, which represent being diag-nosed with, battling against and entering remission from cancer. Fifty teams and al-most 500 entrants registered for the Cheshire event. More than $135,000 was raised in ad-vance of the local relay.

Chaplin said Cheshire has a substantial number of “relay babies” that will be involved, members of a “whole genera-tion of kids” who first took part in the event as infants pushed in strollers and have grown up with and continue to partici-pate in it as young adults. “It’s a community that really rallies around Relay,” she said.

Chaplin is the “staff partner liaison” of the Cheshire event, but it is actually run by “an entire community of volun-teers,” she said. “We encour-age communities to make the event their own, and believe me, Cheshire has made it their own.”

Local takes CRHS principal job

Brian Falcone, a Cheshire resident, and current princi-pal of Terryville High School, has been appointed as the next principal of Coginchaug Re-gional High School.

Falcone’s hiring, voted unanimously by the Board of Education at a special meet-ing, June 10, ends a search that began over a year ago.

Falcone is a graduate of Sa-cred Heart University, with a bachelor of science degree in psychology and a master’s de-gree in elementary education, and also has a sixth year in educational leadership degree from Southern Connecticut State University. In 1999, Fal-cone began his teaching career as a sixth grade teacher before serving as an assistant princi-pal at elementary and middle schools.

Falcone has been the princi-pal of Terryville High School since 2010. Terryville High School is the only high school serving the Plymouth school district. A small high school with approximately 500 stu-dents, Terryville High School also has an advance placement participation rate of 30 per-cent, according to U.S. News and World Report’s survey of

high schools. The starting date for the new principal is July 1.

In a statement released by the BOE, Falcone said, “I am grateful for the opportunity to join the Coginchaug faculty and the Region 13 commu-nity. I am looking forward to meeting all of the students and working with the faculty to en-hance the already impressive programs offered. Working to-gether as a team with parents, community members, and our faculty I am confident that we will be able to provide inno-vative 21st century learning experiences for all students at Coginchaug Regional High School.”

Shortly after her own hir-ing, Superintendent of Schools Kathryn Veronesi called hiring a CRHS principal a top pri-ority of her first school year. CRHS has been without a permanent principal since the departure of Andre Hauser for Watertown High School in April, 2013. When then-Su-perintendent Sue Vicarro re-signed shortly after, the BOE decided to focus on the super-intendent search, allowing the new superintendent to take part in the principal search.

Veronesi said, “Mr. Falcone will join a strong administra-tive team and will lead an ex-emplary high school. On July

1, we will welcome another exceptional leader to an out-standing district.”

The hiring process in-cluded community feedback in surveys, focus groups, and participation in the search committee. According to a Central Office press release, the hiring committee con-cluded, “He is organized, clear, and goal oriented. His interviews and presentation demonstrated the communica-tion skills we are looking for. He has a vision for how Cogin-chaug can excel and the expe-rience with [accrediting body] NEASC, Common Core, and [evaluation program] SEED to lead us in that direction.”

Falcone joins a district that has experienced multiple re-cent turnovers. In addition to a new superintendent and principal, CRHS has a new assistant principal in Patrick Gustafson and an new athletic director.

A Durham resident and for-mer CRHS teacher, interim principal Don Gates was very popular with CRHS students, who dedicated the 2013-2014 yearbook to him and depart-ing athletic director Ted Lom-bardo. The start date of July 1 means both Gates and Falcone will finish this school year at their current schools.

During the June 11 Cheshire High School Spring Concert, music director and conductor John L. Kuhner recognized those students who achieved recognition in their musical work during the course of the year. From left: Helen Bian, William Griffin, Joshua Chen and Hudson Lee. | Joy VanderLek \ The Cheshire Citizen

The Spring Concert at Cheshire High School, held June 11, was the final concert of the season. The event showed the talents of student musicians as CHS Music Direc-tor John Kuhner conducted the Concert and Symphonic Bands, and String and Sym-phony Orchestras.

The rich repertoire included a wide range of complicated orchestrations, some emotional as well as dramatic. Students played to a full house. Pieces included Larry Clark’s “Exhilaration” showcasing the versatility of the woodwinds and brass of the Concert Band. The Symphonic Band performed “American Faces,” by David

Holsinger, while at the same time their faces were shown on a screen as a slideshow.

As part of the program, Kuhner intro-duced students who achievements and hon-ors in their musical works were recognized during the course of the year. He also sin-gled out 46 graduating seniors whose musi-cal talents and mastery would be missed. An outstanding performance by the Cheshire High School Jazz Ensemble, conducted by Ronald J. Ciasullo, wrapped up the concert, followed in the grand finale of the ensemble with vocalist Matthew Feinberg’s rendition of Chicago’s “Beginnings,” which received a standing ovation.

CHS concert hits all the right notes

Opinion

Honor Oberst

To the editor:A few years ago, while researching Cheshire history as

Town Historian, I learned that attorney Ernest Oberst was responsible for the town of Cheshire being able to acquire the property now known as Mixville Park. The purchase was completed in 1961.

I decided that Cheshire’s retired Judge of Probate should be recognized for his efforts on behalf of the town and its cit-izens. I called Judge Oberst and asked for his permission to pursue installing a bench in his honor at Mixville. He said he would be pleased that his efforts would be honored in this fashion. I contacted Bob Ceccolini, Cheshire Parks and Rec-reation director, and learned that the cost of a bench would be $1,500.

A group I am an adviser to at Cheshire High School, the Cheshire High School History Club, agreed to spearhead the effort to raise the funds. Unfortunately, Judge Oberst recently passed away before we could raise the required amount. I am writing this letter to encourage Cheshire citizens (and especially Judge Oberst’s fellow attorneys) to contribute to the fund to pay for the purchase and installation of the bench at Mixville.

If you would like to honor Judge Oberst with a contribution, please make out your check to the Cheshire Parks and Recre-ation Department. Write “Oberst bench fund” on the check.

A new state law will enable the town to pursue more than $1.4 million it says the De-partment of Correction owes in unpaid sewer bills for the Cheshire Correctional Insti-tution and the nearby John R. Manson Youth Institution.

In 2011, the town learned that a malfunctioning meter had been underreporting the amount of wastewater flow-ing out of the detention cen-ters since 2003, determining that the state owed an extra $1,633,607 for the volume dis-charged in those years. The correction department paid $180,000 for properly re-corded water use at the facil-ities in 2011, but has declined to compensate Cheshire for the prior years in which it was under billed.

“They acknowledged that the meter was malfunction-ing and accepted the meth-odology that we used, but refused to pay for the previ-ous eight years,” said Town Manager Michael A. Milone. He said the department was initially willing to meet with town officials about the issue, but broke off discussions af-

ter Cheshire filed suit.Under state law, claims

against the state can’t be brought before the state Claims Commissioner if more than one year has passed since the event that triggered them— unless the General Assembly determines that authorizing the claim is “just and equitable” and “is sup-ported by compelling equita-ble circumstances and would serve a public purpose.” If a claim meets the conditions, the body must enact special legislation to let it go forward.

Last month, the legisla-ture passed a bill allowing Cheshire to present its case to Claims Commissioner J. Paul Vance Jr., notwithstand-ing the lapsed time limit. It was co-sponsored by mem-bers of Cheshire’s legislative delegation, representatives Al Adinolfi, R-Cheshire, Mary G. Fritz, D-Wallingford, and Le-zlye Zupkus, R-Prospect, and senators Dante Bartolomeo, D-Meriden, and Joe Markley, R-Southington, as well as rep-resentatives Hilda Santiago, D-Meriden, and Rep. Eliza-

beth A. Boukus, D-Plainville. Gov. Dannel P. Malloy signed the bill into law June 6.

Milone said the town’s claim satisfies the statutory exceptions to the filing dead-line. It’s just and equitable for the town to be fairly compen-sated for the sewer services it provides at the facilities, and it would serve a public purpose to return almost $1.5 million of taxpayer money, he said.

Town Councilor Liz Line-han, who testified on the bill before the state judiciary committee in March, em-phasized that the law only gives Cheshire the right to have its case heard by the commissioner.

“This is just one step in the process,” she said.

Milone said he doesn’t know how long the process will take. A hearing date has not been set, and Cheshire has been given no indication of when it will be, he said.

CHESHIRE — The state medical examiner had yet to determine Monday after-noon what caused the death of a 66-year-old woman found under a pile of rubble in her Winslow Road home on June 14.

Beverly Mitchell was dead for more than a week when police investigated June 12 after a postal carrier re-ported that mail had been piling up at the door of her decaying home.

Police said Mitchell was a recluse and a hoarder who refused the town’s efforts to help her.

It remained unclear earlier this week how much help the town had offered Mitchell.

The town’s Human Ser-vices Department referred all questions to fire Chief Jack Casner.

“I can’t speak for Human Services,” Casner said. “I’m not even sure anyone was

aware” how bad the condi-tions were inside the home.

According to police and

fire officials, authorities found debris piled as high as the ceiling in the single

story home and determined the first floor had collapsed into the basement.

After determining it was unsafe to search the house, police contacted several state agencies and the town’s Public Works Department to assist in removal of the body.

After receiving assistance and securing the building, workers used equipment to scan the basement in search of Mitchell.

But there was a section of the first floor that had par-tially collapsed that they couldn’t scan. Using a back-hoe to remove debris, the body was found two and a half hours later in that part of the house.

Death

Casner said the home was packed with paper and gar-bage in plastic bags. There were no animals found. Nei-ther the fire marshal’s office nor the fire department were aware of the conditions in the home or had been asked to do an inspection. The town’s Building Department also referred all questions to Casner.

Authorities are trying to locate a next of kin to claim the body, and Human Ser-vices has been in contact with Mitchell’s attorney, Cas-ner said.

The home has been sta-bilized and the site remains a hazardous materials sit-uation.“We’ve had about a half-dozen of these situa-tions with people who have had this type of problem,” Casner said. “The majority will work with building of-ficials or work with human services. But if the person doesn’t want assistance you can’t force it.”

The town is still deciding whether they’re going to de-

molish the house.“She was the type who

didn’t like to talk,” said neighbor Millie Kennedy. “She just waved.”

Kennedy said she hadn’t seen Mitchell since before winter. However, neighbor

Arlene Ashton said Mitch-ell wasn’t always a recluse. It started about a decade ago. Ashton believes the death of Mitchell’s mother and dog about 10 years ago caused her to withdraw socially.

Ashton said the first sign

of change was the gradual accumulation of litter on Michell’s property. “Every-body noticed the garbage,” she said.

Mitchell’s car also began to fill up with refuse. Ash-ton said she used to see her

neighbor eating dinner in her car in the evenings un-til “there was too much trash for her to get in.”

Ashton said Mitchell “be-came very abrasive” as she became reclusive. She also recalled that police con-ducted frequent welfare checks on Mitchell.

“It’s a terrible situation,” Ashton said. “The terrible thing is the way she lived, not the way she died.”

Cheshire-Southington Pro-bate Judge Matthew Jalowiec said he was not familiar with Mitchell and knew of no con-servatorship for her. He said usually in these cases neigh-bors complain to police and a referral is made to human services or social services. If there is enough evidence that someone is incapable of making a decision for themselves, the department would file a petition in pro-bate to assign a conservator.

Getting the psychiatric evidence is the tricky part, Jalowiec said. If there is a medical risk, a hospital can hold the patient to get a medical diagnosis that can

be used in probate court. In some municipalities, if the home is uninhabitable, the town will notify the build-ing department. Jalowiec recalled a case where an in-dividual had no plumbing. The town’s housing depart-ment condemned the build-ing and the occupants were taken to the hospital for evaluation, he said. In ani-mal hoarding cases, police call animal control and the house is declared unfit for human habitation, which of-ten results in a referral to so-cial services.

“In today’s world, mental health issues are more diffi-cult,” Jalowiec said. “We have to preserve people’s right to privacy. As long as they have the mental condition to make a decision soundly we have to pause. It’s their constitu-tional right to make a bad decision.”

Dr. David Tolin, chief of the Anxiety Disorders Cen-ter at the Institute for Living in Hartford, said between 2 percent and 5 percent of the population are hoarders.

“Hoarding disorders are very common,” said Tolin, who has appeared as an ex-pert on the A&E television show “Hoarders.” “There are barriers to overcoming

hoarding. People who hoard have a diminished aware-ness of how severe the prob-lem is.”

As a person ages, it be-comes a health and cogni-tive issue and more difficult for the person to make be-havioral changes.

“The laws about stepping in and mandating that people receive treatment are strict,” he said.

Tolin echoed Jalowiec’s statements that, absent clear evidence a person is putting themselves in danger or cre-ating a public nuisance, it can be difficult to force someone to get help.

“There’s no law against hoarding per say,” Tolin said. “But it’s well known that hoarding is dangerous.”

A recent study in Mel-bourne, Australia found that one quarter of all fire deaths in Melbourne were caused by hoarding.

Health, safety, falling, san-itation and fire risks are all

byproducts of hoarding, he said. Hoarding, classified as an obsessive compulsive dis-order, can be brought on by trauma and the need to keep momentos that becomes an obsession.

“The lesson here is that hoarding is very se-rious, potentially dan-gerous,” Tolin said. “But we know it’s treatable.” Hoarders will stockpile ev-erything from mementos, and paper to garbage, live an-imals, body waste and dead animals. Family members concerned about a hoarder need to seek the help of an interventionist to ensure discussions don’t get bogged down into arguments.

“It’s not going to get bet-ter,” he said. “It’s going to get worse.”

Hoarder

“She was a hoarder,” O’Donnell said. “This was an accidental death caused by disrepair.”

No next of kin were iden-tified. The state medical ex-aminer will release the body to a funeral home.

Police and social service agencies had tried for years to help Mitchell, O’Donnell

said. She had a long history

of reclusive behavior, and didn’t want contact with the outside world other than a rare trip to the store or se-nior services. The house has been boarded up.

“She was a recluse,” he said. “We weren’t sure she was in the building. She has a history of leaving and not telling anyone.”

Growing up Catholic, TGIF was not our mantra. Fridays represented that dreaded day when we were not allowed to eat meat. My father-in-law would reminisce how he and his buddies would hang out at midnight at the local hot dog joint to eat their be-loved meat at the stroke of Saturday.

Now it seems that Cath-olics were actually ahead of their time.

There is a movement afoot that is urging folks to participate in “ Meatless Mondays.” Meatless Mon-days is an initiative of the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health in response to the Surgeon General’s recommendation in 2000 that Americans cut their dietary intake of satu-rated fat by 15 percent.

Not eating meat on Mon-day almost meets that recommendation. It’s a reminder to all to make healthier decisions at the beginning of the week.

Baltimore City Schools

have adopted this effort and serve meatless meals to their school children on Mondays. San Francisco is the first US city to adopt a Meatless Monday reso-lution to encourage its cit-izens to go meatless and have its local eateries pro-vide meatless specials on the menu each Monday.

But this is not a new con-cept. During World War I and World War II the US Food Administration urged families to reduce consump-tion to support the war ef-fort. “Meatless Mondays” and “Wheatless Wednes-days” conserved precious resources and helped to feed troops and European populations.

Which brings us to the other benefits of go-ing meatless once a week. The production, raising and slaughtering of ani-mals for human consump-tion requires vast amounts of resources and produces much waste and pollution. A 2006 UN report revealed that rearing cattle produces more greenhouse gases

WEST HAVEN — The defense of No. 7 Cheshire was able to keep high-flying top seed Darien grounded for one half, but the Blue Wave dominated the final 25 minutes to earn a 12-6 victory June 10 in the CIAC Class L semi-finals at Ken Strong Stadium.

Darien (22-2) went on a 8-2 run to break open what was a 4-4 con-test with 23:22 left in the game.

Hollis Perticone came up huge for the Blue Wave with three straight goals in less than a two-minute span to allow the defending state champs to break this game open. She finished with a team-high five tallies.

Maddy Levy scored five goals for Cheshire and Emma Farrel added four assists to provide the bulk of the offense for the Rams.

“I was excited to get the chance to play Darien because we don’t normally get to play them,” Levy said. “We were optimistic. My five goals were very surprising to me. I think I was just in the right place at the right time. My team-mates found me.”

In the first half, the Cheshire defense forced several ground ball turnovers and kept the Blue Wave off the board for more than 10 minutes, holding the top seed to just one shot during that time.

“We were just collapsing and sliding well,” Cheshire coach Dan Warburton said. “We knew which hands were their dominant hand. We stayed tight in defense. They are pretty fast and athletic, and we knew if they got a lead by more than a goal or two that it was going to start getting rough.”

Cheshire’s patient offense was focused on finding shot high in quality, not quantity. The strategy worked with early goals by Olivia Larson (23:18) and Maddy Levy (13:49) that put the Rams up 2-0.

After a Darien timeout, the Cheshire lead evaporated as the Blue Wave struck for three quick

After strong start, Cheshire bows in semifinals to eventual champ

CHESHIRE — This year’s Wint Filipek Sr. Memorial Tennis Tournament looked a little different than in years past, but the results re-mained the same.

After several years at the Hunt Tennis Cen-ter on the campus of Choate Rosemary Hall in Wallingford, this year’s tournament was played at the Copper Valley Swim & Tennis Club in Cheshire.

Over 675 participants from all corners of Connecticut competed and nearly $20,000 in scholarships was awarded to local high school students.

“I would have to say that this year was one of our best years,” tournament director Wint Filipek Jr. said as the tournament wrapped up on Sunday. “We had so many comments from players and families telling us that (Copper Valley) is such a wonderful place for us to host the tournament.

“I never expected for (the tournament) to be anywhere near this big,” Filipek Jr. added. “My dad passed away 10 years ago and we started this tournament in his memory. We were hop-ing to get 100 entries our first year and, even since then, it kept growing and growing. It is certainly the largest tennis tournament of this kind in New England.”

Aaron Kusza of Wallingford took home the Men’s A Singles championship. Kusza, who has won the tournament multiple times, played tennis at Villanova University.

“He’s an excellent player,” said Filipek Jr. “He wins the tournament quite often; he’s a very ac-complished player. We love having him here.”

Dina Weick took home top honors in the Women’s A Singles and teamed up with Nick Sabatelli to capture the Mixed A Doubles championship.

Filipek Jr. takes great pride in the money that the tournament donates to area high school students.

“We celebrated our 10th with everyone,” he said. “In the past few years, we have given out $10,000 in scholarships, but this year we were able to give $20,000. We’ve been fortunate enough to donate $86,300 in my father’s name since we started this tournament. I get a lit-tle emotional (when the scholarships are pre-sented) because I’m so happy for the kids and that my family is able to do something like this.

“We did not plan for the tournament to end of Father’s Day,” he continued. “It was just a co-incidence. We all miss my father, but to honor him in this way is very special to my family and me.”

tallies.Mariah Matheis cut the

lead to 2-1 with 12:19 left in the first half, assisted by Kae-leigh Morrill. Perticone came up with the equalizer at 10:28 set up by Emily Stein. Just over a minute later, Matheis put Darien up for the first time 3-2 with a helper from Dillon Schoen.

During this run, Darien goalie Kyra Gardner (11 saves) stopped a point-blank shot by Levy. But Levy eventually fought back with a goal off a penalty that she bounced in to knot the game 3-3 with 7:23 left in the first half.

Darien answered at 4:51 on a rebound goal by Schoen af-ter an initial stop by Alexa Carbone (13 saves).

The Rams trailed 4-3 at the break despite Farrel hav-ing won five of seven draws, which gave the Rams plenty of possessions on offense. Darien turned that trend completely turned around in the second stanza.

Initially in the second half,

just over a minute in, Levy tied the game 4-4 assisted by Farrel.

Emily Stein got one by Al-exa Carbone, however, to put the Blue Wave up 5-4 with 20:57 left and it was a lead champs would not relin-

quish. Perticone scored three straight goals with a man ad-vantage to give the Blue Wave a commanding 8-4 lead with 12:52 remaining.

Levy scored her fourth goal on Cheshire’s next position off of a turnaround to trim the

deficit to 8-5, but Schoen and Chandler Kirby, Perticone and Matheis added late goals to put the Blue Wave up 12-5.

Farrel added the day’s last

goal in the closing seconds. It was the final goal in another strong season for Cheshire girls lacrosse, which went 15-6 and defended its SCC championship.

The loss marked the end of the careers of First Team All-SCC players Michelle Federico and Levy, as well as Farrel, Danielle Bellantonio, Danielle Chambrelli, Rebecca Day, Samantha Trott and Tay-lor Bond.

“A lot of people didn’t give us much of a chance to do anything in the playoffs,” Warburton said. “We won the SCC and we beat two great teams in Staples and Sims-bury to get here and, tonight, most people thought we would get crushed, and for three quarters of the game it was anybody’s game.

“We kind of ran out of gas, but we played pretty respect-able against one of the best teams in country, let alone the state.”

Darien went on to defeat Glastonbury 13-9 in the title game.

Raising beef cattle on large farms is also responsible for damaging the earth’s limited water resources. According to a 2012 PBS report, it takes 1800 gallons of water to create one pound of beef and a total of 6.5 pounds of greenhouse gases are released to produce a quarter-pound hamburger. On yearly basis, U.S. cows produce more greenhouse gas than 22 million cars.

Pronounce it “to-MAY-toes” or “to-MAH-toes,” there are so many varieties of this fruit.

Tomatoes differ in size, shape, color, flavor, texture (how meaty or watery they are), time to maturity, resis-tance to disease, adaptabil-ity (how sensitive they are to different climates), “heritage” and more. The type of toma-toes you want depends on your taste and also on what they will be used for. Italian or “paste” tomatoes are good for sauce and for canning. Sweet bite-size tomatoes are great in salads, or to just pop in your mouth.

The tomato you grow also depends on what your gar-den’s climate is like. Is it wet or dry? Sunny or shady? Since it is too late to grow from seed this year, go to one of the many farms or farmers markets in our area that sell plants ready for your garden or planters. Ask what type of tomato works best for your garden.

Now that we are well into May, we are approaching the time when you can plant to-matoes in your garden (or in planters, which works very well for the smaller-fruit vari-eties, such as grape tomatoes). Vivian Caturano of J. C. Farm & Greenhouses, in Durham, recommends that you wait to plant until after the first full moon in May, to reduce the chance of frost damage. Ca-turano knows her tomatoes: her father grew and sold veg-etables for years in Northford; her brothers now run that branch of the family business. Her sons help her run the Durham farm and market.

The variety of tomatoes that are available boggles the mind (credit here to www.tomatofest.com).

- Seeds from open-polli-nated varieties produce plants and fruit that are identical to their parent.

- An heirloom variety is ge-netically unaltered for at least 50 years because of its valued characteristics; all heirloom varieties are open-pollinated but not all open-pollinated va-rieties are heirloom varieties.

- Hybrid types have been cross-pollinated (using two tomato types to create a new type).

- Indeterminate tomato plants will keep growing and producing new blossoms even after the fruit is first set. This means your harvest may last for several months. Staking will be needed.

- Determinate plants have “terminal” buds, meaning when they set fruit, plant growth stops. Plant needs little or no staking; think of these as “bushy” plants. The harvest period is short, a week to ten days.

- Semi-determinate plants are larger than determinate but smaller than indetermi-nate plants. These plants usu-ally require staking.

Caturano suggests choos-ing three different types of plants, so you have a harvest all summer long. “For early

harvest, try Early Girl, Jet-Star, or cherry tomatoes. For mid-season, go for Big Boy, Big Girl, Big Beef or Super-Sonic. And for late season har-vest, try Beefsteak and plum tomatoes. This way, you will avoid having an overabun-dance of tomatoes, if there is such a thing.” She advises put-ting fertilizer into the ground 10 days before you set the plants out; otherwise, it may burn the plants’ roots. Also, she says, “water the soil, not the plant.” Tomato plants are more likely to get diseases if their leaves are wet.

David Zemelsky’s farm, StarLight Gardens, offers CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) shares of their produce, and is USDA-certi-fied organic. Zemelsky sells to some of the state’s best restau-rants as well as at the City Seed Farmer’s Market in New Haven. He and his wife Ty

also have a stand at his home on Fowler Avenue in Durham. Their “hoop houses,” which collapsed under heavy shows a couple of years ago, have been totally rebuilt, stronger than ever. They are “green-houses without heat” which use the warmth of the sun to promote growth. The struc-

tures also protect plants from rain (which can been deadly for tomatoes) and hail.

For heirloom varieties (for next year’s seed-growing), he recommends the Johnny’s Se-lected Seeds and Baker Creek catalogs.

To him, the names of tomato varieties read like poetry; some are very descriptive and even amusing, for example, Mortgage Lifter, an heirloom cultivar. And don’t forget Box-car Willie…

Longtime Durham resi-dent and grower Phyllis Na-ples-Valenti says her favorite tomato (grown at Naples Farm since her parents began running the farm in 1923) is the Roma Plum.

“It is the most-used tomato to make sauce, and is great for tomato cucumber salad, with a little onion and oregano. I also grow and sell JetStar to-matoes, which are large, with bright red skin and a nice round shape. Over the years we have planted many differ-ent varieties of tomatoes, in-cluding, heirlooms.”

Her recommendation: “Be sure your plants are strong, and have a healthy green color to them before planting.”

Local experts reveal the wide world of tomatoes

Medical Help Wanted Apartments For Rent Pets For Adoption Furniture & Appliances

CATS FOR ADOPTION - My name is Gabby and I have a step sister, Isa-belle. I am 10 years old, overweight, but I am in good health and I go to the vet every year. I love boxes and I love to watch water being poured in a bowl. I hope to be adopted with my step sister, but, I don’t have too. My step sister Isabelle is 7 years old and in good health and a little more needy than me. We are not used to people and definite-ly would not get along with others. My owner has been very good to us, but, he has to move soon and we can’t go with him! He feels real-ly bad and just wants to find a good home where we can be happy. Pictures are available.
