Bee expert Adam Fuller isshown hosting a work-shop on beekeeping.

If you are considerate ofyour neighbors, and there’senough clear space for thebees to fly out and back, thenthere is enough room to havebees, Fuller said.

Fuller was asked, as he of-ten is, how many times he’dbeen stung. “Too many tocount,” he said, “It goes withthe territory.”

“You want to know whereyour food comes from,” saidFuller referring to the resur-gence in the back-to-the-landmovement and a renewed in-terest in beekeeping. When aperson buys local honey oruses honey his own bees haveproduced, there is a greater

BeesContinued from page 1

confidence in the quality ofthe product. That can also beimportant if you have aller-gies, he said, as the individ-ual will have a better idea ofwhat bees have consumed.

However, there’s no suchthing as certified organichoney, Fuller said. “Beeshave a two-mile flying radius.There’s no control in the en-vironment.”

When asked about bee die-offs often mentioned in thenews, Fuller said the mostcommon reason is “poormanagement and care.” Foran example, bees are routine-ly trucked to California fromGeorgia or the Carolinas. “Itis stressful on the bees,” hesaid. Then, when released, allthe bees have access to is

“row after row after row ofalmonds.” There is no diver-sity in their diet, and that’sstressful, too.

Bees can also fall victim topoor hygiene and it takes asignificant amount of workto keep them healthy.

“My bees don’t want foranything,” Fuller said.There’s a routine of hive andbee maintenance, care frompredators, feeding and atten-tion to medical and hygieneissues, such as bacterial in-fections, mites and parasites.

Cheshire files lien against prison for sewage useBy Eve Britton

The Cheshire Citizen

The town has filed a lienon the Cheshire CorrectionalInstitution, saying it is owedmore than $1.6 million in

back payment for the pastnine years of overuse of thewastewater treatment plant,according to Town ManagerMichael Milone.

“We’d like to get the backbilling resolved,” he said.

“We would hope the statewould honor its obligations.It’s due and payable and we’dlike someone to move italong.”

“The Department of Cor-rection is currently in dis-cussions with the town ofCheshire regarding backutility payments,” depart-ment spokesman AndriusBanevicius said. “We can’tcomment on anything fur-ther because of ongoing liti-gation.”

The prison’s contract callsfor 350,000 gallons of sewage,about 10 percent of thetown’s daily wastewater vol-ume. But, as of the lastdecade, the prison has been

using 20 to 25 percent of thevolume.

“It is a big difference,”Milone said. “Some othertowns have a penalty clausebuilt into the contracts forprisons exceeding the con-tracted amount.”

Milone said the exactamount owed to the town forthe last nine years, with in-terest, is $1,628,064.18. Thestate, which owns and runsthe prison, has not respondedto the filing yet, he said.

The issue has come aboutbecause for the last nineyears, the meter at the cor-rectional facility was inaccu-rately recording how muchwastewater was being

pumped into the town’s agingtreatment plant. Milone saidhe did not know if the over-use has contributed to theproblems with the plant.

The plant is just beginningthe first stages of a $32.15million overhaul.

“Certainly because theyexceed capacity, it’s wearingdown parts,” he said.

A major problem, Milonesaid, is not so much actualwastewater that is comingfrom the prison but stormrunoff, which pours into thesewers and goes through thetreatment plant along withwastewater.

Local school systems con-tinue to realize cost savingsby combining transportationservices.

Meriden and Cheshireschool administrators decid-ed to combine two routes toan out-of-district specialneeds school.

The route combination be-gan last month and savesboth school systems about$100 a day.

Meriden School Superin-tendent Mark D. Benigni saidthe routes are so close to oneanother that students don’tspend any additional time onthe bus.

“It was a common-sensepartnership,” Benigni said.

Ken Dubin, transportationmanager for Meriden PublicSchools, said he attendedmeetings with administra-tion from a variety of sur-rounding towns.

They were looking forways to save costs on specialeducation transportation.

Staff realized the best part-nership could take place withCheshire. Both school sys-tems send a student to theConnecticut Center for ChildDevelopment in Milford.

Cheshire and Meridenschool systems were eachpaying $200 a day on trans-portation to send the stu-dents to the school. By com-bining the routes, over thecourse of a year each schoolsystem could save close to$18,000, Dubin said.

Dubin hopes the sameroute can be combined nextyear. Staff will also re-evalu-

ate routes and assignmentswith nearby communities tosee if there’s opportunity formore partnerships.

Wallingford schools arealso teaming up with otherschool systems to save moneyon out-of-district transporta-tion. Wallingford shares tworoutes with North Haven andone with Cheshire. “We’re al-ways looking for ways to savemoney,” Dubin said. “Thecost is rising so much fortransportation.”

Combining routes cantake some effort, said GregGibbons, supervisor of fiscal

Combining transportation saves schools moneyand transportation servicesfor Cheshire Public Schools.Staff has to look at what timeschools start and figure out if

buses will make it on time.

We all know that we’re supposed to wash our hands beforehandling and preparing food, but what you may not know isthat the same is true for before and after handling pet foodand feeding your pets. Doing this helps keep pet foods from

being contaminated withbacteria and othermicroorganisms, such asSalmonella that can causedisease. If the food isinadvertentlycontaminated with anorganism that causesdisease, washing handsalso helps to preventanyone handling the petfood from becoming illand possibly spreadingthe disease to others.Always wash your handswith warm, soapy waterfor 20 seconds before andafter handling your pet’sfood (including treats)and feeding dishes.

Pets Are LikeFAMILY!

Pets Are LikeFAMILY!

Pets Are LikeFAMILY!

Our pets really are likemembers of our families.Treat your pets like family whenit comes to their food and foodsafety. It’s actually quite easy,when you know what to do:

Keep those food andwater bowls clean.

You wouldn’t eat off the sameplate or drink out of the sameglass, day after day, withoutwashing them between meals,right? So it stands to reason thatyou should keep your pet’s foodand water bowls clean as well.

Dogs, cats, and other pets havebacterial microbes in theirmouths (people do too!), andthese microbes can betransferred to the pet’s food andwater dishes. If food is left in thedish, that makes for a goodenvironment for the bacteria togrow and may cause illness-notonly in your pet, but also inyoung children who may playwith the food dish..

Washing your pet’s food bowlbetween meals every day and thewater bowl every day or two isrecommended.

Store pet food safely.It’s never a good idea to leave

leftovers out of the refrigeratorovernight and then feed them toyour family the next day. Thesame holds true for your pet’sfood.

If the pet food is moist,refrigerate promptly or discardany unused, leftover wet petfood. Store dry pet food andtreats in a cool, dry place (under80º F). If possible, store dry petfood in its original bag inside aclean, ded ica ted p las t i ccontainer with a lid, keeping thetop of the bag folded closed.Always wash and dry your pet’sstorage containers be forerefilling them with new food.

By Jesse Buchanan Special to The Citizen

To Daniel Esty, the state’stop environmental regulator,business and conservationdon’t have to be at odds.

Esty, a Cheshire resident,was appointed commissionerof the state Department ofEnergy and EnvironmentalProtection in 2011. It’s the lat-est in a serious of high-pro-file appointments in the envi-ronmental and energy fieldsfor Esty, an academic, authorand husband of DemocraticU.S. Rep. Elizabeth Esty.

He’s been an advocate forgreen business, saying thatcompanies can profit fromnew consumer demand forenvironmentally friendlypractices and still flourishunder governmental regula-tions.

Daniel Esty’s position hasbeen complicated by his for-mer relationship with North-east Utilities and other powercompanies as an environ-mental consultant as well asby his wife’s involvement inpolitics.

Gov. Dannel P. Malloychose Daniel Esty to head thenewly created state Depart-ment of Energy and Environ-mental Protection in 2011.The author’s views on the in-teraction of the market andenvironmental policy im-pressed the Democratic gov-ernor, who said Daniel Estywas the “right guy” to handleenergy and environmental is-sues.

“What I like about his ap-proach is that it’s a balancedapproach, and that he under-stands market forces play arole,” Malloy said in an inter-view last year. “Dan has a na-tional, international reputa-tion in his field.”

Daniel Esty, a Rhodesscholar with a master’s de-gree from Oxford University,holds a law degree from YaleLaw School and a bachelor’sdegree from Harvard Univer-sity.

He did not return calls forcomment for this article.

In 2006, Daniel Esty andAndrew Winston published“Green to Gold: How SmartCompanies Use Environmen-tal Strategy to Innovate, Cre-ate Value, and Build Competi-

tive Advantage.” Companiescan benefit from the greenwave, the book argues, bysaving money using more ef-ficient technologies andprocesses that also benefitthe planet. Companiesshould also communicatetheir environmentallyfriendly efforts to customers,harnessing the current inter-est in green businesses.

The book begins with ananecdote about Sony, whichlost $130 million after ship-ment of 1.3 million PlaySta-tion sets to Europe wasblocked because the videogame controller cables con-tained more cadmium thanallowed by European law.The inclusion of too much ofthe toxic element was an ex-ample of how importantawareness of environmentalregulations has become forbusinesses, the authors said.

Both Daniel Esty and Win-ston worked in environmen-tal consulting firms. DanielEsty stepped down from EstyEnvironmental Partners totake the DEEP position andthe company has sincechanged its name to ViridisStrategy Group.

Winston founded WinstonEco-Strategies, based inGreenwich, which he stillruns.

One of Daniel Esty’s con-sulting clients was Northeast

Utilities. In 1999, the compa-ny had paid millions in finesfor violations of the AtomicEnergy Act and was lookingto change its practices andimage, according tospokesman Albert Lara.

“He was brought on specif-ically to be an independentcritic of the company,” Larasaid. “He was brought onboard to turn the companyaround in terms of environ-mental stewardship.”

“We’re a very differentcompany as a result,” Larasaid.

Daniel Esty earned morethan $200,000 from NortheastUtilities for consulting workthat lasted from 1997 to 2005.He was also paid $7,500 byUnited Illuminating for aspeech given in 2009.

As commissioner, DanielEsty has said there’s no con-flict of interest with formerclients. In 2011, he released alist 28 companies and organi-zations that he’d worked withover the past five years, say-ing he wouldn’t be makingdecisions affecting thosecompanies.

Questions about DanielEsty’s relationship withbusiness arose again after hespoke to investors about re-newable energy issues on aconference call organized byUBS Securities late lastmonth. At the time of the

conversation, a renewableenergy bill was pending be-fore the General Assemblythat would reclassify hydro-electric power as a clean en-ergy and count it towardclean energy goals. The Sen-ate passed the bill earlier thismonth and the House is con-sidering it.

Canada is a major sourceof hydro-electric power andNortheast Utilities wants tobuild the Northern PassTransmission line that couldbring Canadian power to thestate.

Daniel Esty said he regret-ted the timing of the call butsaid he didn’t disclose anyconfidential state informa-tion and released a tran-script of the call.

He’s been a proponent ofincreasing hydro-electricpower for Connecticut andalmost convinced state Rep.Mary Mushinsky, a Walling-ford Democrat, of the bill’smerits during meetings overthe past few weeks.

“He almost got me,” shesaid.

Mushinsky and other envi-ronmentalists have hesita-tion about supporting hydro-electric when clean energyclassifications were intendedfor fledgling energy sourcessuch as wind and solar. Sup-port, including clean energysubsidies, should be going to-

ward efficiency efforts thatwould create jobs in the state,according to Mushinsky.

While she has differenceswith Daniel Esty on this bill,she has no doubts about hisethics or his commitment tosustainability goals.

“There’s no doubt in mymind that that’s his goal, asustainable environment,”Mushinsky said. “I’m reallyarguing with him aboutwhere we put our emphasis.”

Daniel Esty is trying notonly to pursue environmen-tal goals but also to quicklyreduce energy costs for stateresidents by encouraging hy-dro-electric power, Mushin-sky said. He’s also arguedthat wind and solar energy“have to stand on their owntwo feet” and be able to com-pete with other energy tech-nologies without state-grant-ed advantages.

“The environmental com-munity doesn’t agree withhim on that,” Mushinskysaid.

Tom Swan, executive di-rector of Connecticut CitizenAction Group, said the ener-gy bill helps big business butnot consumers, small busi-ness or the environment. Ashead of the DEEP, DanielEsty has undermined envi-

Commentary

Open for business?By Rep. Lezlye ZupkusSpecial to The Citizen

What theheck are youguys doingup there?

It’s a ques-tion I’m hear-ing with in-creasing fre-quency fromfriends, neighbors and con-stituents who keep closewatch on the state legisla-ture—and with good reason.

With a projected deficit ofroughly $3 billion over thenext two fiscal years, there’sno doubt Connecticut facessignificant financial hur-dles. So it’s no wonder folksstatewide are frustratedwhen they see their legisla-ture disproportionately fo-cused on bills unrelated tothe much-needed effort to getour state’s finances on trackand our economy firing.

Among the ideas underdiscussion is a proposal tobuild a multi-million-dollarnursery for mothers whogive birth in prison, and an-other focused on the disposalof old mattresses. There’sbeen debate about whetherto force school districts toteach the history of laborunions, and renewed talkabout giving people whodon’t have pensions access tothe state system.

With state unemploymentfigures above the nationalaverage, should Connecticutlegislators spend time deter-mining whether to tax “sug-ary drinks,” or would an ef-fort to reduce funding forbloated and failing programsbe more appropriate? Is nowthe right time to focus onwhether soft serve ice creamvendors get their permitsfast enough, or even decidingwhether the state should reg-ulate the latest massagecraze?

I’ll tell you what the ma-jority of private sector em-ployers would say: “Get thestate’s fiscal house in order.”In the eyes of business own-ers, stability breeds certain-ty—and people who createjobs need us to send a mes-

Zupkus

sage built of bedrock. Would you go out on a limb

and expand your business ifyou feared state governmentwas a whisker away from im-posing a state-budget-balanc-ing fee or tax on you?

As an example, considerwhat’s happening right now.Businesses all over this statehave likely budgeted for theonce-promised expiration ofthe electric generation tax.Now, it’s possible that tax willremain in place.

Making a promise to jobcreators and then taking itback does little to give busi-ness owners confidence thatthe legislature is seriousabout the “open for business”tag line that too many major-ity party legislators usewhen describing Connecti-cut.

Consider a recent surveyfrom Chief Executive Maga-zine, which ranked Connecti-cut the fifth-worst state in thenation in which to conduct

business. Among the com-ments:

“Lower taxes and realisticregulations that don’t sendbusinesses elsewhere.

Connecticut is at the bot-tom of the list.”

The entire membership ofthe legislature should go all-in on reversing policies andpoor budget habits that giveour state a bad name in theeyes of folks who fire our eco-nomic engine.

Of course the legislaturecan consider whether toshrink the size of drug-freezones around some schools,but is now the right time forthe conversation? I think itranks below building a stablefiscal and economic environ-ment where students of thoseschools can find good-payingjobs when they graduate.

State Rep. Lezlye Zupkusserves in the 89th General As-sembly District of Bethany,Cheshire and Prospect.

“It’s paying to clean waterthat doesn’t need to be sani-tized,” Milone said.

The lien is separate from alawsuit filed by the townagainst the state. The suitwants the state to reopen ne-gotiations on future prisoncontracts.

Fritz, D-Wallingford, is sponsoring abill ensuring future prisoncontract negotiations be-tween towns and the state, re-gardless of their terminolo-gy, be allowed to be reopenedor have amendments made tothem.

CCiittiizzeenn

By Marion F. Sturkey

The U.S. Army, the U.S.Navy, and the U.S. Air Forceall have their own songs.

For the U.S. Navy, “An-chors Aweigh” was writtenin 1906 by Lt. Charles Zim-merman and midshipmanAlfred Miles. Initially thesong was a tribute to theNaval Academy Class of1907. Various people revisedit later, trying to weed out thenonsense. Another midship-man, Royal Lovell, pennedthe final stanza in 1926. “An-chors Aweigh” has a snappylittle tune, but no one knowswhat the words imply. Theoriginal first stanza in 1906had dealt solely with thegame of football. Even today,the song offers a bittersweet

“farewell to college joys.”The lyrics end by “wishingyou a happy voyage home.”Many musical experts thinkthat Anchors Aweigh is a bal-lad for football players wholike sailboats. But, no one re-ally knows for sure.

The U.S Army adopted asnazzy tune for “The Cais-son Song”. Unlike the wordsin the Navy’s song, the wordsof the Army’s song makesense. According to thewords of each stanza, “TheCaisson Song” clearly is amelody for rural motorists.Edmund Gruber wrote theoriginal lyrics in the Philip-pines during World War I.Naturally, since most of thefighting was 8,000 miles awayin Europe, Gruber made onlya passing reference to war-

Commentary

Official music of U.S.Armed Services has intriguing historyfare. Yet, he was careful to be“politically correct.” He ap-parently sought the help offirst grade students in com-posing the lyrics. The banal“Hi, hi, hee” is a dead give-away. No one has a clue as towhat it might mean. Still, atleast it rhymes.

The U.S. Air Force did notexist in 1938. But, that yearLiberty Magazine sponsoreda contest for an official songfor the Army Air Corps. Themagazine received 757 en-tries. A group of Army AirCorps wives (yes, believe itor not, wives) selected the en-try from Robert Crawford,“Off We Go Into the WildBlue Yonder”.

After World War II theArmy Air Corps evolved intothe U.S. Air Force. This fledg-ling flying club adopted OffWe Go’ as their official song.It suited the illusionary na-ture of the new Wild-Blue-Yonder-Wonders with refer-ences to “those who love thevastness of the sky” and thefictitious “rainbow’s pot ofgold.” The final stanzaspeaks of the “gray hairedwonder,” an admirable ges-ture of non-discriminationfor the new civilianized AirForce.

These three songs, “An-chors Aweigh”, “The CaissonSong”, and “Off We Go intothe Wild Blue Yonder”, are of-ten played at public events.They obviously delight themembers and advocates of

the affected service: Navy,Army, or Air Force. Whentheir song is played, sailors,soldiers, and zoomies leap totheir feet and shout, cheer,clap their hands, and jivewith the music. They have ajolly time, almost like a highschool pep rally.

The U.S. Marine Corps isthe United States’ militaryband of brothers dedicatedto war fighting. The proudBrotherhood of Marines isguided by principles, values,virtues, love of country, andits Warrior Culture. Thisbrotherhood of AmericanPatriots has no song. In-stead, Marine Warriors havea hymn. When The Marines’Hymn is played, UnitedStates Marines stand at at-tention. They silently showtheir pride in their fellowMarines, their Corps, theirCountry, their heritage, andtheir hymn. “The Marines’Hymn” is a tribute to War-riors. Marine Warriorsstormed fortress Derna,raised the American flag,and gave us “the shores ofTripoli.” Marines foughttheir way into the castle atChapultepec and gave us the“halls of Montezuma.”Marines exist for the pur-pose of war fighting. Fight-ing is their role in life. They“fight for right and freedom”and “to keep our honorclean.” They fight “in the air,on land, and sea.” The Ma-rine Corps is Valhalla for

Warriors. U.S. Marines needno song. They have a hymn.

Ironically, no one knowswho wrote the hymn, whichwas in widespread use by themid-1800s. Col. A.S.McLemore, USMC, spentseveral years trying to iden-tify the origin of the tune. In1878 he told the leader of theMarine Band that the tunehad been adopted from thecomic opera Genevieve deBarbant, by Jaques Offen-back. Yet, others believe thetune originated from a Span-ish folk song. Whatever! Re-gardless of its origin, TheMarines’ Hymnhas re-mained a revered icon of theUnited States Marine Corpsfor almost 200 years.

In 1929 The Marines’Hymn became the officialhymn of the Corps. Thirteenyears later in November 1942the Commandant approved achange in the words of thefirst verse, fourth line. Be-cause of the increasing useof aircraft in the Corps, thewords were changed to “Inthe air, on land, and sea.” Noother changes have beenmade since that time. Whenyou have attained absoluteperfection, there is no needfor further modification:

Thursday, May 23, 2013— The Cheshire Citizen 19

With Memorial Day 2013 upon us,what better time to re-visit the songsof the U.S. Armed Services? One inter-esting aspect of these melodies is that,most of us, we’re sure, do not need mu-sic in order to be able to sing theselyrics. “The Marines Hymn”, “TheCaisson Song”, “Anchors Away” and

the “Army Corp Song” (off we go intothe wild blue yonder) and “Semper

Paradus” (Coast Guard) must beamong the most rousing and memo-rable tunes ever written.

As music is such an important in-fluence on our lives and certainly onour sense of patriotism, we wanted toput the spotlight on the hymns, songsand anthems that bring goose bumpswhen we hear them at a parade or aswe hum along to an orchestral version

or when a soloist belts one out. The essay by Marion F. Sturkey

(page XX) gives some fascinating in-sight into the origins of these songs.On this page, we’ve re-printed thelyrics with commentary provided byhistory volunteers at the Lane Memo-rial Library, Hampton, N.H. They puttogether the following presentationwhich gives the original lyrics to the

songs (which a few of you may recall)and then the updated version. Wefound it quite fascinating to see thechanges over time, made to keep thesongs meaningful and relevant. Ourthanks to Mr. Sturkey and LaneMemorial Library for their fascinat-ing research and generous help withthis presentation.

The Caisson SongBy Major (later Brig. Gen.) Edmund L. Gruber

Written in the Philippines, 1907Over hill, over daleAs we hit the dusty trail,And those caissons go rolling along.In and out, hear them shout,Counter march and right about,And those caissons go rolling along.(Refrain)Then it’s hi! hi! hee!In the field artillery,Shout out your numbers loud and strong,For where e’er you go,You will always knowThat those caissons go rolling along.In the storm, in the night,Action left or action rightSee those caissons go rolling alongLimber front, limber rear,Prepare to mount your cannoneerAnd those caissons go rolling along.(Refrain)Was it high, was it low,Where the hell did that one go?As those caissons go rolling alongWas it left, was it right,Now we won’t get home tonightAnd those caissons go rolling along.(Refrain)

The Caisson Song (Revised)Official Song of the U.S. Army

Written & adapted by H. W. ArbergMarch along, sing our song,With the Army of the freeCount the brave, count the true,Who have fought to victoryWe’re the Army and proud of our nameWe’re the Army and proudly proclaimFirst to fight for the right,And to build the Nation’s might,And The Army Goes Rolling AlongProud of all we have done,Fighting till the battle’s done,And the Army Goes Rolling Along.(Refrain)Then it’s Hi! Hi! Hey!The Army’s on its way.Count off the cadence loud and strong,For where e’er we go,You will always knowThat the Army goes rolling along.Valley Forge, Custer’s ranks,San Juan Hill and Patton’s tanks,And the Army went rolling alongMinute men, from the start,Always fighting from the heart,And the Army keeps rolling along.(Refrain)Men in rags, men who froze,Still that Army met its foes,And the Army went rolling along.Faith in God, then we’re right,And we’ll fight with all our might,As the Army keeps rolling along.

(Refrain)

The Marines Hymn From the Halls of Montezuma,To the Shores of Tripoli;We fight our country’s battlesIn the air, on land, and sea;First to fight for right and freedomAnd to keep our honor clean;We are proud to claim the titleOf UNITED STATES MARINES.Our flag’s unfurled to every breeze,From dawn to setting sun;We have fought in every clime and placeWhere we could take a gun;In the snow of far off northern landsAnd in sunny tropic scenes;You will find us always on the job The UNITED STATES MARINES.Here’s health to you and to our CorpsWhich we are proud to serve;In many a strife we’ve fought for lifeAnd never lost our nerve;If the Army and the NavyEver look on Heaven’s scenes;They will find the streets are guardedBy UNITED STATES MARINES.

(Sir Winston Churchill, British Prime Minister,became an ardent admirer of the U.S. Marine Corps.In the company of guests of state, he often demon-strated his respect for U.S. Marines by reciting, from

memory, all three verses of The Marines’ Hymn.)

Anchors AweighBy Lt. Charles A. Zimmerman and Midshipman Alfred Hart Miles, 1906

The Official Song of the U.S. Navy(Verse 1)Stand Navy down the field, sails set to the sky.We’ll never change our course, so Army you steer shy-y-y-y. Roll upthe score, Navy, Anchors Aweigh. Sail Navy down the field and sinkthe Army, sink the Army Grey.(Verse 2)Get underway, Navy, Decks cleared for the fray,We’ll hoist true Navy Blue So Army down your Grey-y-y-y.Full speed ahead, Navy; Army heave to,Furl Black and Grey and Gold and hoist the Navy, hoist the Navy Blue(Verse 3)Blue of the Seven Seas; Gold of God’s great sunLet these our colors be Till all of time be done-n-n-ne,By Severn shore we learn Navy’s stern call:Faith, courage, service true With honor over, honor over all.

Anchors Aweigh (Revised)By George D. Lottman

(Verse 2 is most widely sung.)(Verse 1)Stand, Navy, out to sea, Fight our battle cry;We’ll never change our course, So vicious foe steer shy-y-y-y.Roll out the TNT, Anchors Aweigh. Sail on to victoryAnd sink their bones to Davy Jones, hooray!(Verse 2)Anchors Aweigh, my boys, Anchors Aweigh.Farewell to college joys, we sail at break of day-ay-ay-ay.Through our last night on shore, drink to the foam,Until we meet once more. Here’s wishing you a happy voyage home.

The Army Air Corps SongBy Robert Crawford, 1938

Off we go into the wild blue yonder,Climbing high into the sun;Here they come zooming to meet our thunder,At ‘em boys, Give ‘er the gun! (Give ‘er the gun now!)Down we dive, spouting our flame from under,Off with one helluva roar!We live in fame or go down in flame. (Shout!)Nothing’ll stop the Army Air Corps!Minds of men fashioned a crate of thunder,Sent it high into the blue;Hands of men blasted the world asunder;How they lived God only knew! (God only knew then!)Souls of men dreaming of skies to conquerGave us wings, ever to soar!With scouts before and bombers galore. (Shout!)Nothing’ll stop the Army Air Corps!Here’s a toast to the hostOf those who love the vastness of the sky,To a friend we send a message of his brother men who fly.We drink to those who gave their all of old,Then down we roar to score the rainbow’s pot of gold.A toast to the host of men we boast, the Army Air Corps!Off we go into the wild sky yonder,Keep the wings level and true;If you’d live to be a grey-haired wonderKeep the nose out of the blue! (Out of the blue, boy!)Flying men, guarding the nation’s border,We’ll be there, followed by more!In echelon we carry on. (Shout!)

Nothing’ll stop the Army Air Corps!

Semper ParadusOfficial song of the

United States Coast Guard(The original words and music were

written by Captain Francis S. Van Bosker-ck, USCG in 1927. The first line of eachchorus was changed in 1969. The currentverse, and a second chorus, were writtenby Homer Smith, 3rd Naval District CoastGuard quartet, Chief Cole, others and LTWalton Butterfield USCGR in 1943.)1st chorus (original, 1927 version)So here’s the Coast Guard marchingsong,We sing on land or sea.Through surf and storm and howlinggale,High shall our purpose be.“Semper Paratus” is our guide,Our fame, our glory too.To fight to save or fight to die,Aye! Coast Guard, we are for you!2nd chorus (added 1943)So here’s the Coast Guard battle song,We fight on land or sea.Through howling gale and shot and shell,To win our victory.“Semper Paratus” is our guide,Our pledge, our motto too.We’re “Always Ready” do or die!Aye! Coast Guard we are for you!

Wallingford is likely toplace more stringent academ-ic requirements on studentathletes, joining about half ofthe school districts in Con-necticut that exceed stateminimums for players’grades.

The Connecticut Inter-scholastic Athletic Confer-ence sets minimum require-ments for schools in the state.Athletes must receive pass-ing grades in at least fourclasses to be eligible to partic-ipate in sports.

In the area, Southingtonand Meriden follow thosestandards, while Cheshirehas stricter requirements.

The CIAC doesn’t keeprecords on the requirements,which can vary by school dis-trict. A study done a decadeago found that 50 percent ofthe schools that respondedhad more-stringent require-ments than the state mini-mums.

About 70 percent of theCIAC’s member schools re-sponded to the survey.

“It is very common forschools and districts to adoptacademic policies for partici-pation above and beyond theCIAC minimum standards,”

said Paul Hoey, CIAC associ-ate executive director. “Theseoften take different forms,such as GPA requirements,or no-failure policies, but it isthe school and district pre-rogative to set additional ex-pectations for athletic partic-ipation.”

New recommendationsmade by Wallingford highschool athletic directors AmyLabas and V.J. Sarullo saystudents cannot fail anycourses and must maintainan overall average of 70 orbetter.

The new guidelines, saidSheehan Principal RosemaryDuthie, are being put into ef-fect in addition to the CIAC’srules, pending approval bythe Board of Education,which was scheduled to voteon Monday.

Wallingford students en-tering in the fall season willhave their academic perform-ance from the previous yearreviewed by the athletic di-rectors. To be eligible for afall sport, students cannothave any class failures and

must have at least a 70 aver-age, Duthie said. As the yearprogresses, a student’sgrades during a specificmarking period will deter-mine eligibility. To be eligiblefor winter sports, for exam-ple, a student’s grades duringthe first marking period willbe reviewed.

At Cheshire High School,students must maintain a C-minus grade or higher toavoid a two-week warning pe-riod. Steve Trifone, the highschool athletic director, saidif a student’s grades don’t im-prove in that two-week peri-od, he or she can be put onprobation and barred fromplaying.

However, teachers havediscretion to allow strugglingstudents to stay on a sportsteam even if their gradesdon’t meet the requirement.

Cheshire’s requirementswere created by the Board ofEducation about 15 years ago,according to Trifone.

“We’ve had a lot of successwith it,” he said. “The kidshave responded well.”

Student athletes atSouthington High School arerequired to meet the CIACstandards and must pass atleast four of their classes.Lists of ineligible players arereleased every marking peri-od, according to Southington

School sports:Are CIAC standards adequate?Athletic Director Eric Swal-low, and students on the listcan neither play nor practice.

“It’s been effective becauseit sets a standard that studentathletes have to meet,” hesaid. “There’s accountabili-ty.”

Meriden also follows theCIAC standards for studentathletes. Robert Angeli, asso-ciate school superintendentfor instruction, said a com-mittee was formed to consid-

er raising the standardsabout five years ago.

“It was decided that westay with the CIAC guide-lines,” he said.

Extracurricular activitiessuch as sports can be a majordraw for students to stay inschool, according to Angeli.

“We find right now that theCIAC guidelines are meetingthe needs of our students,”he said.

ronmental protection, ac-cording to Swan.

“We’ve been very disap-pointed in both the processand the content in his workand the so-called comprehen-sive energy proposal,” Swansaid. “Who it helps is the bigenergy companies.”

In her run for the 5th Con-gressional District seat, Eliz-abeth Esty received cam-paign contributions fromNortheast Utilities, O&G In-dustries and NRG employees.Political opponents criticizedthe contributions during theelection.

Last month, Elizabeth Estyreturned $3,500 in donationsfrom Northeast Utilities em-ployees. The move came aftercontroversy over DanielEsty’s call to investors.

Under Daniel Esty, thestate’s environmental regula-tors no longer see themselvesat odds with businesses, ac-cording to the ConnecticutBusiness and Industry Asso-ciation. Eric Brown, directorof energy and environmentalpolicy for the association,said the department began todevelop a “new ethic” afterDaniel Esty’s appointment.

“There’s a new sense ofpurpose, and they’re gettingresults,” Brown said.

“Before Dan we had, in my20 years of doing this, theworst relationship with theagency we’ve ever had,” hesaid. “It was run as an envi-ronmental advocacy agency.”

Daniel Esty doesn’t see aconflict between businessesinterests and environmentalstewardship, Brown said.While he and Daniel Estydon’t always agree, Brownsaid the commissioner un-derstands the needs of busi-ness.

“One of the great thingsabout Dan is that he has astrong background in boththe environment and work-ing with the private sector,”Brown said. “That’s uniquein working with commission-ers over the years.”

Daniel Esty is a pragma-tist, according to QuinnipiacUniversity management pro-fessor David Cadden, andstrikes a balance between en-vironmental goals and busi-ness interests. Companies

must grow to provide jobsand can be convinced thatgood environmental policiesare also good business poli-cies. Daniel Esty helpedchange the notion that “sus-tainability was just for treehuggers,” according to Cad-den.

“Businesses are beginningto realize waste is simplythat, it’s waste,” Cadden said.

Both Daniel and ElizabethEsty were early adopters andpromoters of the sustainabil-ity movement. Cadden, amember of the Cheshire De-mocratic Party and a donorto Elizabeth Esty’s campaign,said she talked about renew-able energy and green busi-ness even before her first runfor the General Assembly in2008.

In 1994, Daniel Esty helpedfound Yale’s Center for Busi-ness and the Environmentand was one of its directorsuntil taking a leave from Yaleto run DEEP. Bradford Gen-try, another of the center’s di-rectors, said he and his for-mer colleague work on poli-cies to address environmen-tal problems through eco-nomics.

directly suffering and there-fore has little reason to stop.Gentry said part of DanielEsty’s work is to devise gov-ernment policies that pushcompanies to operate cleanly,either through taxes orpenalties that change themarket’s incentive structure.

“He’s certainly a big be-liever in making marketswork so we save the planetrather than kill it,” Gentrysaid.

For some environmentalgroups, the modern marketeconomy and ever-rising con-sumption is to blame for theworld’s ecological problems.With differing views on therole of the market, environ-mentalists with the samegoals can vary widely intheir approach, according toGentry.

“If you’re trying to workwithin that system, in theirview you’re only making itworse,” he said.

Swan criticized DanielEsty’s consulting, which hesaid helped improve compa-nies’ green images withoutreforming environmentallydamaging practices.

“He’s spent a career inhelping businesses green-wash their environmentalpractices,” Swan said.

It’s not unusual for thosewith knowledge of the indus-try to be involved in regula-tion, Cadden said. Without
