“The hugs! I enjoy those,”she said of the response shesometimes gets from clients.

Flagg was already a volun-teer with Elim Park whenshe decided to join thepantry.

“I just wanted to volun-teer,” she said.

Hartmann said there are45 volunteers at this timewho help with many tasks.

Women and children rep-resent the largest percent-age of those who use theCheshire Food Pantry. Re-tired seniors on fixed in-comes also need a helpinghand; so do those who havelost their jobs.

No matter why — in amonth’s time, approximate-ly 9,000 pounds of food andgrocery products are givenout to those in need.

The food pantry sees anaverage of 200 clients perweek. Clients are registeredwith the pantry only after

working with town servicesstaff who direct them to theappropriate sources.

“This is very confidentialand we are here to serve,”said Cheshire Food Pantry’snew executive director, Pat-ty Hartmann.

Volunteers on this Octo-ber day, when The CheshireCitizen visited, included PatBrown, MaryAnn Flagg andJoanne Peters.

“I consider myself fortu-nate,” Brown said. “I canhelp others who are not.”She adds, “By the grace ofGod …”

Peters is the pantry man-ager on Tuesdays. She said

After years of living andworking out of state, townnative Patty Hartman has re-turned to fill an importantvacancy at the Cheshire Com-munity Food Pantry.

The pantry, at 51 RailroadAve., serves about 200 peoplein the community with thehelp of 45 volunteers from allwalks of life. The pantry’sconsulting executive directorleft recently, leaving an open,part-time position. Hartmanwas hired, and began workearlier this month.

“The first thing I want toestablish is our volunteerbase,” Hartman said. “Wealso want to organize moreindividual food drives. We’llbe gearing that up.”

After growing up inCheshire, Hartman moved to

Chandler, Ariz., where shewas marketing director of anon-profit credit union and avolunteer at a food pantry.She developed a passion forcommunity outreach.

Hartman decided recentlythat it was time to return toCheshire, where her familyhas been rooted for 35 years,with the goal of pursuing anursing career. She still needsto return to school, but in themeantime she wanted a jobthat would satisfy her passionfor community service.

“That’s what brought mehere,” she said, “that perfectserendipity.”

Frank M. Loehmann Jr.,the pantry’s treasurer and amember of the committeethat hired Hartman, saidHartman had been “extreme-ly impressive” during the in-terview process.

The committee screened 28

applicants for the position,looking for a candidate thathad experience in business,finance and volunteering.

“Talk about fitting themold,” Loehmann said ofHartman.

Hartman said she will berelying on the support of thepantry’s volunteers as she be-comes accustomed to her newjob. “They’ll be teaching methe ropes as we grow togeth-er.”

Even though Hartman haslong-term goals in nursing,she said she is dedicated toher current job and expectsto be with the pantry for atleast two or three years.

“This is where I am,” Hart-man said. “This is where myfocus is.”

“Patty will do a great jobmoving forward,” Loehmannsaid.

Last November the Republican lead Town Council tried to force

through a $30 million wastewater treatment plant upgrade. Luckily,

voters listened to valid Democratic criticism of this effort and

rejected the plan. This November, lead by Democrats Michael

Ecke, Patti Flynn-Harris and Peter Talbot, working with State Rep.

Mary Fritz, we gained State support to provide $7 million in

funding thus significantly lowering

the burden on Cheshire taxpayers.

We thank you, the voters, for having

a clear vision on this issue and we

urge you to vote on the

treatment plant referendum

this November.

Noewatne back to work after crashBy Andrew Ragali

The Cheshire Citizen

With thousands of hoursof riding experience, inter-im Public Works DirectorGeorge Noewatne has had afew scares on his motorcy-cle, but normally walksaway unscathed. Despite hisexperience and full protec-tive gear, he couldn’t avoidor walk away from a recentaccident.

After spending six days inYale-New Haven Hospitaland 10 days at a rehabilita-tion facility, Noewatne re-turned to his post in TownHall, and has been workingwith 12 broken ribs, a bro-ken right clavicle and a bro-ken left ankle still healing.

“I’m not the kind of guyto lie around,” Noewatnesaid last week, citing his jobas a source of pride andhappiness.

He officially returned tothe job Oct. 3, the day he leftrehab, and attended a Plan-

ning and Zoning Commis-sion meeting that night.

On Sept. 15, Noewatnewas taking the Exit 57 rampoff Interstate 95 south-bound in Guilford during adamp evening when he lostcontrol of his motorcycleand laid it onto its right sidebefore striking the rightshoulder metal guard rail.No one else was involved inthe crash.

Town Manager MichaelMilone is surprised to seeNoewatne back so soon.

“I have to say, when hefirst got injured, I didn’tthink I’d see him for amonth or two, and he’s backin just a couple weeks.”

For the coming weeks,Noewatne said he’ll be “try-ing to do half days” as he’s“still trying to get my stami-na up.”

Milone feels Noewatnehas been pushing himselfand has advised Noewatneto stay home and relax andnot come in to night meet-

ings at Town Hall. He does-n’t need to be working 10-hour days at this point, thetown manager said.

While Noewatne recov-ered, Wastewater Treat-ment Plant Supervisor Den-nis Dievert took on many ofhis duties. Dievert said he’sbeen splitting his time andwould like to fully concen-trate his time at the treat-ment plant once more.

Noewatne called his acci-dent a “freak thing” andsaid “I’ve been off thatramp a thousand times. Ididn’t do anything differ-ent.”

Milone is currentlysearching for a permanentreplacement for JoeMichelangelo, who headedthe Public Works depart-ment for 10 years before heleft in September to takeover the same departmentin Fairfield. Noewatne,along with several outsideapplicants, is being consid-ered for the job.

The Town Council has giv-en Town Manager MichaelMilone a good job perform-ance review and extended hiscontract another year, with a2.25 percent raise. The deci-sion was finalized at the coun-cil’s Oct. 9 meeting.

Milone’s extended contractwill now expire June 30, 2015.With the raise of more than$3,000, Milone’s annual salaryincreases from $135,497 to$138,546 per year.

“It was very reassuring,”Milone said of the contractextension. “I like what I do alot, and I hope they’re satis-fied with my performance.”

A Republican and chair ofthe budget committee, Coun-cilor David Schrumm said,“I’ve never met anyone in gov-ernment who has worked ashard as him.”

Milone was the town’s fi-nance director prior to beingnamed town manager in 2000.

Schrumm said, “His firstlove is numbers, and keepingthe town on firm financialground is important to him.”

Michael Ecke, a Democrat,sat on the Town Council forthe last 11 years. He’s wit-nessed firsthand how Milone

has impacted the town formore than a decade. He calledMilone conscientious, organ-ized, thoughtful and alwaysavailable.

There’s no stipulation forannual automatic raises inMilone’s contract. He is on apay-for-performance system,meaning “he really has toearn his keep,” said Coun-cilor Thomas Ruocco, a Re-publican.

Also, unlike other town em-ployees, Milone does not havea pension. He instead has topay into his own defined con-tribution plan. As part of thecontract extension, the townincreased its contribution tothe plan by 1 percent.

“This will hopefully allowMichael to save more for re-tirement,” Schrumm said,“which is still a ways off.”

Steps taken by Milone tosave the town money haveearned him the raise, Ruoccosaid. For example, the newsingle-stream automated re-cycling program. He alsopointed to the town’s trend ofefficient budgets that requirelower tax hikes than in thepast as something Milone hasaccomplished using his ownmethods.

“Michael just does a goodjob managing the town,”

Ruocco said. “I hate to deprivehim of something he de-serves.”

Ruocco and Schrumm bothpointed to Milone’s handlingof the two storms last yearthat created widespread pow-er outages and property dam-age as an example of why theythink he deserves a raise.

Schrumm noted thatMilone voluntarily gave up araise for two years when thefinancial crisis first hit in or-der to save the town moneyand set an example for othertown officials.

Job review shows Milone’sraise well-deserved

They unload trucks or un-pack boxes; check expirationdates and stock shelves.Some are “occasional” vol-unteers, such as when abusiness, community orcivic group like the GirlScouts help out on a shift.Others have set schedules.

“Because they have setschedules, they tend to seethe same people. It’s kind oflike a personal shopper.You’ll notice that someonelikes to cook, so they wantthe spices… you keep an eyeout for what they might like.They get to know one anoth-er and that makes it easier,”she said.

The pantry needs morevolunteers. Hartmann ex-plained that help is often nec-essary after food driveevents.

“St. Bridget’s Stuff-a-Busis a perfect example. Therewere 2,800 pounds of food. Sowe could use more volun-teers for that.”

Plans are underway to ad-dress a concern that’s comeup because the annual Food

Drive on the green is beingscaled back. The food driveused to take in outer loca-tions, such as industrialparks and off-site food driveareas and bring the food backto the green. That won’t hap-pen this year.

Hartmann’s “mini fooddrive” idea is to work withschools and local businessesto see if she can interestthem in helping the foodpantry. Interested parties areurged to contact theCheshire Food Pantrythrough its website cheshire-foodpantry.org.

“I have never seen peoplewho are so involved in theircommunity. There isn’t any-one who says ‘no’,” Hart-mann said.

Residents who want to do-nate non-perishable food anditems such as cooking oils,flour and sugar, baking itemsand much-needed paperproducts, can do so at anytime. Drop off donations inthe food pantry foyer. Perish-able foods may only bedropped off when the pantryis open. The food pantry is lo-cated at 51 Railroad St., justoff Route 70 West.

Alexion PharmaceuticalsInc. has been named thefastest growing biotechnolo-gy company in the state bythe Connecticut TechnologyCouncil.

The global company, local-ly at 352 Knotter Drive, washonored during a ceremonyhosted by the council andsponsored by the accountingand advisory firm Marcum

LLP. The 2012 Marcum TechTop 40 awards were held Sept.27 at the Oakdale Theater inWallingford. The award isbased on revenue growthover the last four years. Alex-ion, a public company tradedon Nasdaq under the symbolALXN, was recognized in thelife sciences category.

“Alexion has grown as a re-sult of developing life trans-forming therapies,” saidcompany spokesman IrvingAdler. Alexion has developed

a therapeutic drug Soliristhat treats ultra-rare blooddiseases. The drug was 15years in the making, and thecompany invested over $1 bil-lion even before the drug re-ceived its first FDA approvalin 2007. It received approvalagain in 2011.

Irving said with recent ap-proval and breakthroughsit’s made in treating rare dis-eases, the company has ex-panded “as we’ve been able toserve more patients with ul-tra-rare diseases.” Most oth-er companies in the medicalfield do not work in the ultra-rare disease realm, he said,

Alexion Pharmaceuticals leads Tech Top 40 chartand that has contributed toAlexion’s success. There’spride in giving patients whoonce had no hope they’d sur-vive another chance at life,Irving said.

“They’ve been a spectacu-lar company,” said MatthewNemerson, president andCEO of the technology coun-cil. Usually, companies thatsee dramatic growth likeAlexion are software or Inter-net services companies. Thefact that Alexion is selling aproduct that needed signifi-cant capital investment to in-vent makes its success storyeven more impressive, he

said.Overall, 40 technology

companies in the state arehonored by the technologycouncil, with the top six in-vited to the ceremony. ButNemerson called Alexion be-yond successful and “eco-nomic worldwide phenome-non.”

“We’ve grown a lot inCheshire,” Adler said, “andadded a number of employ-ees.”

Alexion has 350 employeesin Cheshire. The companywill again expand, moving toNew Haven in 2015. Nemer-son said there’s been plentyof conversation about Alex-ion leaving Cheshire, but it’smost important that the com-pany is staying in Connecti-cut. While Cheshire will belosing the company, Nemer-son said the future of Alex-ion is “integral to the state’sfuture,” and allowing it togrow is critical.

While “jobs are impor-tant,” he said, “places likeAlexion become its ownecosystem.”

By ecosystem, Nemersonmeans that the talented em-ployees Alexion attracts willbranch off and start theirown companies in the state,possibly turning Connecticutinto a “Silicon Valley” ofbiotechnology companies.

“That’s the nature of com-panies that attract brilliantpeople,” he said. “That’s whyyou make an effort to keepthem happy and here in thestate.”

Alexion was recognized atthe Marcum-sponsored eventas overall winner in 2009 and2010. There has been noshortage of recognition forthe company. Recently, Alex-ion was named the secondmost innovative company inthe world by Forbes Maga-zine, and the sixth-fastestgrowing biotechnology com-pany by Fortune Magazine.

Professor says baseball a good way to teach statistics

Photo by Alison Hansen

Stan Rothman, author of“Sandlot Stats: LearningStatistics With Baseball”


Stanley Rothman has beena professor of mathematicsat Quinnipiac University anda Cheshire resident since1970. Over the past four years,he’s been teaching a coursecalled “Baseball and Statis-tics,” an elective that is partof the sports managementprogram.

When he started thecourse, Rothman found therewere no textbooks on base-ball statistics and sabermet-rics — a specialized analysisof statistics (the word is de-rived from SABR, short forthe Society for AmericanBaseball Research) popular-ized in the recent novel andmovie “Moneyball.”

A representative fromJohn Hopkins Press, in-trigued by the title of Roth-man’s course, encouraged theprofessor to write a textbookon the subject. The effortRothman began in 2008 cameto fruition earlier this monthwith the release of “Sandlot

Stats: Learning StatisticsWith Baseball.”

“I teach using statisticsfrom baseball,” Rothmansaid. “That’s the only differ-ence from any other statisticsclass.

“Every time I taught theclass, I would use it to buildthe book,” he added.

As a fan of the game, and ofthe New York Yankees, Roth-man loves teaching the

course. He often tells storiesof his favorite player, Yankeelegend Mickey Mantle.

“He takes away the stigma

from statistics,” said KevinFaggella, a senior at Quinnip-iac who completed Roth-man’s course. “A lot of times,

people think statistics areboring and something you

They call him ‘Mr. Haunted’ and they believe


James Petonito, standing at right, teaches a class onparanormal investigation techniques.


Do you believe in ghosts?One in five Americans say

they have seen or been in thepresence of ghosts, accord-ing to a 2009 Pew ResearchCenter poll.

Taking a quick poll at anight ghost-hunting class atCheshire High School, Oct. 2,just about all hands went upwhen asked “who believed inghosts?”

The popular paranormalclass is offered through AdultContinuing Education cours-es. James Petonito, aCheshire resident and long-

time paranormal investiga-tor, has brought the programto CHS, on-and-off, for thepast 10 years.

During that time, he’scome to be known as Mr.Haunted.

The class, made up of peo-ple from a variety of back-grounds and beliefs, was alsowide-ranging in age; all theway from teens to seniors. Afew participants in the classbelieve they had seen some-thing — or someone from the“other side.” Others con-fessed they had, at one timeor another, felt “something”touch them — something su-pernatural. And then there

were those on the fence, justcurious.

Petonito, assisted by GinaPlasse, a true believer in theparanormal and self-pro-fessed medium, began thepresentation by saying, “Weall have a story; most of ushave a personal ghost story.”

He began with his own.As a young child, about 7-

years-old, he was sent to hisroom while his parents hadcompany. He was in his bed,listening to the baseballgame on the radio, when “theradio just started changingstations. I thought the radiowas broken,” he said, “until Isaw the knobs moving physi-

cally.”He was scared. He got even

more frightened by what hap-pened next.

“Something slammed mylegs down!” Finally able to run

downstairs, he told his motherthere was a ghost in his room.She pooh-poohed him. Thereare no such things as ghosts.

New teacher contract built on compromiseBy Andrew Ragali

The Cheshire Citizen

A new four-year contractfor teachers came about af-ter compromises from bothteachers and the school dis-trict, the two sides said.

The new contract will seea general wage increase of8.93 percent for teachersover four years. There willbe a stipend increase of 1

percent for every year ofthe contract. Teacher workdays will increase from sev-en hours and 20 minutes toseven hours and 50 minutesone day a week in the newcontract. Also, teachers willbe allowed two days leavefor bereavement with nocharge to sick time. The cur-rent contract allows be-reavement time, but it ischarged against sick leave.

Changes in cost-sharing ini-tiatives were also made, in-creasing the current per-centage of 5.5 percent to 9percent by 2016-17.

The Board of Educationapproved the new contractduring the first week of Oc-tober. It was reachedthrough mediation, accord-ing to board Chairman Ger-ry Brittingham. Negotia-tions began in the spring.

President of the teachersunion Judy Masella said, “Iwould say it’s hammeredout, and the teachers have

shown their dedication tothe students in Cheshire.”

School SuperintendentGreg Florio explained theschedule for the 8.93 per-cent wage increase. Wageswill increase by 1 percent in2013-14, 2.69 percent in 2014-15 and 2015-16, and 2.55 per-cent in 2016-17. Florio saidthat this year, prior to thenew contract, the startingsalary for teachers with abachelor’s degree is $44,000.In 2013-14, the startingsalary will be $44,440. Dur-ing the last year of the con-

tract, the starting salarywill have risen to $45,440.Florio said that the averagesalary for teachers in thedistrict is $78,000. By theend of the four-year con-tract, the average teacher inCheshire will make $84,600.

Masella said eight teach-ers from Cheshire schoolsrepresented their co-work-ers during negotiations.They specifically wanted tomake compromises withthe school district to re-ceive paid bereavementdays and a reasonable in-crease in wages.

The school district askedteachers to compromise byadding a half-hour to theirworkweek. Also, teacherswere asked to pay a higherpercentage into their med-ical benefit plan — an in-crease of 3.5 percent by2016-17. The biggest com-promise made by teacherswas to allow the contract tospan four years.

“The fact that it is extend-ed four years is a majorplus,” board member TonyPerugini said. Perugini wasthe only member of theboard to vote against thecontract. Stephen Mrowkawas not present for lastweek’s meeting.

Masella said that in thepast, negotiations have re-sorted to arbitration, so “itwas a good step forward”that both sides made a dealwithout a third party get-ting involved.

The contract goes to theTown Council for final ap-proval.

HOD #001016

From that point on, ghostsfascinated him. Ghost pho-tography, in particular,caught his interest. He madenumerous trips to photo-graph Union Cemetery inMonroe, which he calls “oneof the most haunted cemeter-ies in the world.”

As a psychic photogra-pher, he worked with ghost-hunting power couple Ed andLorraine Warren. Petonitoand his work have been fea-tured in books and maga-zines, TV shows, nationaland local news, newspapersand entertainment pro-grams. For a number ofyears, he’s headed The Skele-ton Crew Paranormal Re-search Society, as he contin-ues to do research, give pre-sentations and host classes.

Petonito said, “I guess I’mstill trying to prove my moth-er wrong.”

Attending the class wasSue Schmidt who said sheloves the paranormal. This is

her second class with Petoni-to. She is sure there areghosts and tells a story of aformer co-worker who died.About a week after he passedaway, she looked at a benchby the backdoor at work andsaw a person — for a split sec-ond.

“It was white and it was justsitting there,” she said. She ex-plained that she wasn’t afraidand still is not afraid. “I justsay, Charlie’s here.”

Schmidt also talks about anincident during another Mr.Haunted class a few yearsback. The class made a record-ing called electronic voice phe-nomena, or EVPs. (Class mem-bers in rows closest to Schmidtlean in to her as she speaks.)

“We captured a girl’s voiceby the library,” she said. Therewere no other people in the areaat the time.

Brent Bouteiller, 16, was inthe class to learn more aboutthe paranormal and John, hisfather, came along, too.

“I’m here to lend support,”he said. “He’s interested in it.”Brent said he has relativeswho have had experiences, and

HauntedContinued from page 10

he’s intrigued. Sitting in a seat at the very

front of the lecture hall,Stephanie Creager said herfamily has a long history ofexperiencing premonitions —ones that come true — and shehas them as well. Does she be-lieve in the paranormal?

“Absolutely … not adoubt,” she said.

The night’s first class was

an overview, and included aslideshow of ghostly photo-graphs. Petonito also elabo-rated on the jargon used byparanormal teams, explain-ing terms such as residualhauntings, and crisis appari-tion, a term used to describean apparition who is seenwithin a few hours of a ma-jor incident, such as a deathor accident. He also talked

about scrutinizing any evi-dence found: don’t mistakean anomaly in a photo as anapparition when it could bedust or moisture in the air.

The class ate it up andcouldn’t wait for more — es-pecially the final class. Theywill venture out to sampleghost-hunting forthemselves.

The concept of National Business Women’s Week®

originated with Emma Dot Partridge, Executive Secretary of theNational Federation of Business and Professional Women’sClubs from 1924 to 1927. The first annual observance ofNBWW was held April 15-22, 1928, when National PresidentLena Madesin Phillips opened the week with a nationallybroadcast speech. She stated that the purpose of the weekwas “to focus public attention upon a better business womanfor a better business world.” From this early effort, NBWW hasgrown into a nationwide salute to all workingwomen.

The program for the first observance of NBWW included:Legislative Day devoted to national, state and local legislationof interest to women; Education Day devoted to emphasizingthe need for equitable educational opportunities; Club RallyDay for prospective new members; Community Day honoringleaders in the community; and Goodwill Day devoted to workingwith other women’s organizations.

made by the factory. “Landmarks of Old

Cheshire” (Cheshire Bi-centennial Committee,1976) describes the facto-ry as “the James Harrywagon-wheel plant locat-ed in West Cheshire on

the corner of GroveStreet and West Main.Mr. Harry purchased theHitchcock Manufactur-ing Co. in 1887 and be-came involved in makingwooden wheels of everydescription.”

Cheshire’s past on display at historical society

Submitted by Cheshire Historical Society

The old James T. Harry Factory, in West Cheshire.

The Cheshire Histori-cal Society, located inThe Hitchcock-PhillipsHouse at 43 Church Dri-ve, by the green is hometo an array of artifactsrelevant to Cheshire. Thehouse can be seen byscheduling an appoint-ment at (203) 272-2574, orby contacting curator [email protected].

An example of what isfound at the historical so-ciety is seen in the photoof Cheshire’s James T.Harry Factory, in WestCheshire, located at therear of 460 W. MainStreet. The building isnow demolished. It wasfirst used by HitchcockMfg. Co. to make sus-penders in the mid-1800s.The factory also saw usein the late-1880s and ear-ly 1900s as both a car-riage and bicycle shopand toy aeroplane com-pany. The building wasrazed in 1929. Also on dis-play at the Society is anold wooden bicycle wheel


More than 50 Connecticuttowns have adopted ordi-nances imposing a maxi-mum waiting period of 180days before allowing thedemolition of a building.Many of those towns don’thave historic districts.

“We have two,” saidCheshire’s Historic DistrictCommission chairwoman,Elizabeth Pratt Fox.

It’s the preservation ofscores of buildings insideand outside the Cornwall Av-enue and South BrooksvaleRoad historic districts inCheshire that have motivat-ed the commission to draftits own demolition delay or-dinance.

“The commission felt thata town such as Cheshire thatappreciates its historyshould have an ordinance inplace,” Fox said.

The state has enabled leg-islation that allows towns toimpose a waiting period ofno more than 180 days beforegranting a demolition per-mit.

Economic DevelopmentCoordinator Jerry Sitko saidthe demolition delay concept

“has been around for a whilenow.” Before the establish-ment of the Historic DistrictCommission, its predeces-sor, the Historic Preserva-tion Study Committee, hadmade the adoption of a delayordinance a priority.

“They started to talkabout it with the Town Coun-cil in 2005,” Sitko said. “Itdidn’t go anywhere.”

The initial proposed ordi-nance brought before thecouncil was too cumber-some, said commissionmember Jeanné Chesanow.It was based on a model witha maximum delay of 180days and heavy on proce-dures. The newly drafted or-dinance “is much cleaner,shorter and briefer.”

Just over two pages, thedraft is more succinct thanthe original 10-page propos-al. Fox said the town attor-ney recently approved thedraft, meaning it meets allstate regulations. Thebiggest difference betweenthe two proposals is the re-duction of the maximum de-lay time from 180 days to just90 days, which plays a largefactor in the ordinance’s

‘Transportation in Connecticut’ - book tells tale of dreams and disappointment


Author Richard DeLucawas at the Cheshire Histori-cal Society recently to talkabout his new book PostRoads and Iron Horses,Transportation in Connecti-cut from Colonial Times tothe Age of Steam. The pres-entation attracted a fullhouse.

A former civil engineerand a life-long history buff,DeLuca gave a riveting talkfocused on aspects of hisbook that highlight watertransportation via theFarmington Canal andsteamships on the Connecti-cut River. His lecture includ-ed a bigger picture of his-toric technology, politics,and law as these impactedthe advance of transporta-tion in the state and region.

Money and power werepart of the equation, as well.The author discussed themovers and shakers, playersand dreamers who envi-sioned fortunes in theirquest to create transporta-tion faster than stagecoachand foot.

DeLuca emphasized that“what happens underneathto the land, gives rise to a lotof the history that happenson top of it.” He explainedthat “Connecticut’s geologichistory of 200 million yearsago would later spark acanal battle in New Eng-land.”

New Haven didn’t have an

inland connection, saidDeLuca. There was no prop-er river that led to the interi-or. As for Hartford and theConnecticut River, the citydid not have a real port at itsmouth. The geologic limita-tions meant rethinking op-tions.

The rush to break groundfor canal transportation be-gan in the 1820s after com-pletion of a project in NewYork State: the Erie Canal.

“It stirred everybody’simaginations, because itwas extremely successful,”DeLuca said. “It brought in amillion dollars in just thefirst year that it was open.Everybody wanted to dupli-cate the success of the ErieCanal in their own state.”

Connecticut had two ma-jor players who, with privatefunds, tried to find successon water. One company wasNew Haven’s FarmingtonCanal Company with formerConnecticut senator, JamesHillhouse as head. The com-pany’s intent was to “buildtheir own river”: dig theirway to Northampton, Mass.,allowing New Haven to be-come the trading port forNew England. Later, Hill-house expanded the plan toinclude Canada.

It would be quite back-breaking work with theprimitive technology of theday, using “shovels andpicks to extract four millioncubic yards of earth,” DeLu-

ca said. The Farmingtoncanal was to stretch 80miles, with 200 bridges and60 locks. “It was a major en-gineering feat to carry thecanal over the FarmingtonRiver,” he said.

Almost as quickly as theNew Haven group brokeground, Hartford andSpringfield businessmen es-tablished The ConnecticutRiver Company. They envi-sioned the use of low-profilesteamships to tow materialson the upper Hartford Riverand on to Barnet, Vt.

Again, a radical change inthe original plans saw thecompany change its route - itwould also head for Canada.Investors envisioned theirsteamboats going into Ver-mont and Lake Memphrem-agog on the Vermont-Cana-da border.

DeLuca laughed as he ex-plained the plan. “No oneeven knew where that was.The ultimate goal? Make forthe St. Lawrence Seaway.”

The Connecticut RiverCompany had limited suc-cess for a few years. TheFarmington Canal, on theother hand, was beset byproblems from the begin-ning. It stopped operationsby 1845. It took 10 years tobuild, then operated for 10years. It only saw a profit inone of those years. This wasdue in part because thecanal was only open half theyear and spring flooding of-ten made it necessary toredo whole sections.

Around this time the rail-road came along to “provideexactly what the canal com-panies could not provide:fast, safe, low-cost trans-portation for high volumegoods and passengers,”DeLuca said.

At the conclusion ofDeLuca’s talk, the audienceasked questions and made

comments. Jean McKee talked about

an 1876 train derailmentthat happened on what hadbeen a portion of her fami-ly’s farm on SouthBrooksvale Road. Her great,great Uncle Samuel HullBrook wrote an entry in hisdiary at the time, reportingthat “engineers were seri-ously hurt,” and that he’dgone to the scene of thewreck, taking brandy andbandages.

Historical Society mem-ber John White said he en-joyed the presentation “im-mensely” and called it well-done as it highlighted localhistory in context of whatwas happening at the timewithin the region.

Audience member KenStevens said it was an “ex-cellent presentation” andthat the book should be in-teresting as well. JudyBarone, a friend of the au-thor, said he was knowl-edgeable and his presenta-tion “wonderful.”

It took DeLuca sevenyears to research and writethe book. He used a varietyof sources, including Yale,and the State Library inHartford. He acknowledgedthe local library inCheshire for its assistancein obtaining research mate-rials.

Post Roads & Iron Horseswas published in Decemberby Wesleyan. DeLuca con-tinues to tour and has sever-al upcoming presentations,which include the SimsburyFree Library, Nov. 1, and theFirst Church of West Hart-ford Nov. 9. Organizationsthat want to book DeLucacan email him [email protected].

end if no one objects, it cancome down,” she said.

Fox said two 18th centuryhomes were destroyed inCheshire this year. Theyweren’t the main motivationto bring the ordinance back

to life, because plans to re-draft the ordinance havebeen in place for years. ForFox, the destruction of thehistoric buildings — in un-protected locations outsideboth historic districts — isjust one more reason the or-dinance should be consid-

ered.“If someone wants to de-

molish a building, it’s almostan instantaneous process,”Chesanow said. “Nobody canact on it. These 90 days give

will never actually use, butthe way he presents the sub-ject matter demonstrateshow it is quite relevant in ourdaily lives. I would definitelyrecommend this book.”

The book is presented in 18chapters, totaling 592 pages.Information covered in thefirst 15 chapters includes: de-scriptive and inferential sta-tistics, linear regression andcorrelation, probability,sports betting, probabilitydistribution functions, sam-pling distributions, hypothe-sis testing, confidence inter-vals and chi-square distribu-tion.

Chapter 16 concentrates onthe probability of hittingstreaks, such as Joe DiMag-gio’s 56-game hitting streakor the 84-game on-base streakof Ted Williams. Chapter 17examines the probability ofbatting .400 over an entireseason, a feat last accom-plished in 1941 by Williams.

“Baseball purists andsabermetric geeks alike willlove this book,” he said.

Rothman said sabermet-rics have become popular inbaseball, and are heavilyused to evaluate talent andnegotiate contracts.

“Most teams now will havesomeone who knows thisarea of statistics,” he said.“These people are now in de-mand.”

Flummoxed, Rams fall hard in Week 5

Photo by Dave Zajac

Cheshire’s Jack Cunningham is clotheslined by Fairfield Prep’s Daniel Coyle aftera reception in the first half Friday. Coyle was penalized on the play. Fairfield Prepwould win the SCC Division I crossover matchup, 39-6.

By Bryant CarpenterSpecial to The Citizen

On the first play of Fridaynight’s Cheshire-FairfieldPrep football game, Ramsquarterback Vincent San-sone went deep down field towide receiver Kevin Diet-rich.

Leaping between two de-fenders, Dietrich came downwith a 36-yard reception.

What a play call, what astart.

Or so everyone on thehome side of the MaclaryAthletic Complex believed.Problem was, the officialsbelieved Dietrich never hadfull possession of the ball.

Back went the Rams, sec-ond and 10.

And that was an omen. Onan unseasonably frostynight, anything that could gowrong did go wrong for theRams, who lost three fum-bles and were further flum-moxed by a fast and big Prepdefense in a 39-6 SCC Divi-sion I crossover defeat.

It’s a result likely to play afactor in the Class LL playoff

race. The Jesuits, off to theirbest start in six seasons, im-proved to 4-1 overall. TheRams, who fell behind 14-0after one quarter and neverrecovered, dropped to 3-2.

“Beating an elite team onthe road is a big step for us,”said Prep coach Tom Shea,whose team’s lone loss camein Week 2 at Xavier.

“They’re a big, physicalteam up front; that’s a goodfootball team over there,”noted Cheshire coach DonDrust Jr. “But at the sametime, we’ve got to execute.”

That’s something theRams, with the exception ofsophomore Jack Cunning-ham’s eight-yard touchdownrun in the second quarter,simply did not do. All threefumbles - the first two com-ing on consecutive posses-sions in the opening quarter- were lost in Cheshire’s end.

The Cheshire defensemade a stop after the firstturnover, but not the second,and with that the Rams, whohad yielded a touchdown onPrep’s opening possession,

Boxing event in town Saturday nightSee Flummoxed, page 41

By John PettitSpecial to The Citizen

Cheshire, are you readyto rumble?

Meriden’s Beat the StreetCommunity Center willhost Freedom Fight ’12, fea-turing the boxing teamsfrom the U.S. Coast GuardAcademy and West Point,on Saturday, Oct. 20 atCheshire High School.

“This is the first ever box-ing event held in Cheshire,”said Beat the Street directorLarry Pelletier. “We are in-troducing boxing toCheshire and we have two ofthe top military academiescoming to be a part of it.”

The 10-bout show will

have extra special meaningfor Coast Guard coach TomBarile, a 1987 Cheshire Highgraduate who still lives intown.

“Never in a million yearsdid I think this would hap-pen,” Barile said.

Barile, 43, played football,basketball and baseball atCheshire High. He dabbledin boxing in his early teens“as a way to get ready forbaseball.”

After high school, Barilemoved on to Central Con-necticut State University,where he joined the boxingteam and became a two-time All-American at 156pounds. He boxed as an am-ateur for one year after col-

lege before hanging up hisgloves.

“I had talks with man-agers about turning profes-sional,” he said. “I had a se-ries of hand injuriesthroughout my amateur ca-reer. Boxing took me a lot ofplaces, but I made the deci-sion not to continue with aprofessional career and geton with my young life.”

Barile, vice president atAllstate Financial, re-turned to the sport in 2002.Coast Guard Academy,which is located in NewLondon, is the only serviceacademy that does not re-quire boxing and a group ofcadets that had formed aclub team were looking for a

coach.“They basically got my

name through other serviceacademy coaches as some-one who might be interestedin helping them out,” Barilesaid. “They created a cluband were going to amateurcompetitions with no coachwhatsoever.”

Barile met with the box-ers. He was impressed withtheir dedication and agreedto coach them.

“What I saw was a lot ofraw talent,” he said. “Theywere tough guys with a lotof heart and energy. Theyjust needed some fine-tun-ing.”

Today, Coast Guard com-petes with the top collegiate

boxing programs in thecountry. Fans who attendthe Cheshire show will be infor a treat. Under Barile’sguidance, Coast Guard hasadvanced to the NationalCollegiate Boxing Associa-tion championship tourna-ment every season except2006. The Bears finishedfourth in the country in2009, while West Point haswon four straight nationaltitles.

The National CollegiateBoxing Association is notaffiliated with the NCAA. Itis a division of USA Boxingand includes 45 teamsthroughout the country.

VolleyballWith an unblemished

record and the long-standingreputation as one of the pre-miere girls volleyball pro-grams in the state, Cheshireis going to take everybody’sbest punch.

That’s something veteranRams coach Sue Bavone cer-tainly realizes. Convincingher team to be ready from theget-go has been the hard part.

Case in point: Oct. 10 SCCHousatonic match at Shee-han. The Titans, coming off a3-2 win at East Haven, hardlyshowed tired legs. Instead,they cruised to a 25-15 victoryover Cheshire in the openinggame.

“I don’t think they under-stand, especially in theHousy, that every first gameteams are going to come outfired up,” Bavone said. “Be-cause we’re kind of fragileright now, it kind of puts uson our heels until we get ouract together. We just have tobe more confident and playtougher. We have the capabil-ity and we have the skill. It’sall mental right now.”

Despite the Game 1 loss,Cheshire rallied to win thenext three sets. But the slowstart gave Bavone reason forconcern even as her Ramsimproved to 12-0 overall and5-0 in the Housy.

Lisa Walle, an exchangestudent from Norway, fin-ished with 13 kills and 10 digson the evening for Cheshire.

Amanda Palladino (17kills, six blocks, four digs)and Sarah Rogers (23 assists,eight digs) also contributedto the win.

Cheshire 3, Lyman Hall1: Senior captain AmandaPalladino blasted 11 kills andhad four digs to leadCheshire to a 3-1 SCCHousatonic victory over Ly-man Hall.

Cheshire, which won bygame scores of 25-14, 25-11, 11-25 and 25-20, also got sevenkills and three digs from LisaWalle, 14 digs from MariaBuzzelli and 21 assists andsix digs from Sarah Rodgers.

The Rams remain perfectat 13-0 overall and 6-0 in theHousy.

Lyman Hall, 9-4 overall, 2-3in the division, was led by

Melanie Schanke (14 kills, sixaces, nine digs) and EmilyWilliams (six kills, nine aces,eight digs).

Girls soccerCheshire 2, Amity 0:

Cunningham’s score, setup by his own 27-yard recep-tion on a third-and-16 play,got the Rams to within 14-6,but no closer. Prep answeredwith a 74-yard scoring driveto take a 21-6 lead into thebreak.

Barile said his boxers areexcited to fight in Cheshire.

“They know this is myhome town,” he said. “Youcan see, especially the lastcouple of weeks, that theydon’t want to disappoint.Army is a big competitor ofours. They’re the big dogs incollegiate boxing, althoughmy guys compete head-to-head with them and the otherservice academies. That’s asource of pride with ourguys. They know that thismeans a lot to me. You cansee the effort in the gym.They really want to win thisone.”

cashed in on the short field.They did so again in the

fourth quarter whenCheshire coughed up itsthird fumble at the 24. In be-tween, the Jesuits mounted a76-yard TD march directedby senior QB Strecker Backe.

Defense, though, is whatspoke loudest for Prep. Dom-inating up front, the Jesuitsgave Cheshire little room tomaneuver. Senior runningback Sam Pascale mustered79 yards on 17 carries, but inthe whole the Rams wereheld to 83 yards on theground and 54 through theair.

“You know what’s crazy?We had a great week of prac-tice. The kids were excited,enthusiastic. The way thefirst quarter went, with theturnovers, it just took thewind out of our sails,” saidDrust, whose team hostsWilbur Cross Friday. “We’regoing to go up and look at thefilm and correct the thingswe need to correct and showup next week and play ourbutts off.”

and West Point, Meriden’sDavid Wilson, Carlos Perezand Ray Carbello andCheshire’s Jeff Behrmannwill also box at the show.

Pelletier said Cheshire su-perintendent Greg Florioand athletic director SteveTrifone have been very sup-portive of the event.

“Bringing this event toCheshire will show peoplewhat boxing and the serviceacademies are all about,” Pel-letier said.

The boxing show starts at 7p.m. Tickets are $20 for adultsand $15 for students. Chil-dren 6 and under are free.Proceeds from the event willbenefit Beat the Street as wellas the Cheshire High SchoolAthletic Fund.
