The town has received a 2014 Risk Management Achievement Award from the Connecticut Interlocal Risk Management Agency, the state’s leading municipal insurer.

CIRMA gave out awards to 21 municipalities in six cate-gories last month.

Cheshire was recognized for long-term reductions in losses from workers’ compen-sation claims, the third time it has received the award.

It is based on results over a 10-year period.

Cheshire has cut workers’ compensation claim costs by 80 percent and its days lost from an annual average of 336 to zero over five years.

Its total claims costs were 65 percent less than towns of similar size and demographics.

The town’s effort “creates more efficient operations and ensures the delivery of vital public services,” CIRMA Vice

Officials argue over rising costs of school projects

Revised cost estimates for building projects at the high school that exceed ear-lier projections are provok-ing discord among some town officials and rekindling long-running debates about the best way to address the work.

Renovations to the boys

locker room, originally priced at $525,000, are now expected to cost $750,000. Renovating the building that houses the concession stand and pub-lic restrooms by the athletic stadium was supposed to cost less than $350,000 but is now estimated at $565,000. The projects’ architects have attributed the increases to inflation.

The purpose of both proj-

ects is to improve the facili-ties and make them compliant with the Americans with Dis-abilities Act.

Town Councilor Peter Tal-bot called the locker room — a former industrial arts classroom with limited ven-tilation, dilapidated lockers, and mold and flooding prob-lems — “embarrassing for an upscale town,” while Mark Nash, a member of the town’s

public building commission, said the lavatories in the con-cession building are “so dis-gusting” that many refuse to use them.

The disparity between the new and original estimates has some councilors and building commission mem-bers blaming each other.

HOWLIN’ GOOD TIMESunday’s Cheshire Dog Park Grand Opening and 2nd Annual K-9 Carnival was a howling good time. The beautiful weather, June 1, helped to bring out hundreds of people to the event on Waterbury Road, many with their dogs in tow. They were treated with puppy pampering stations, a multitude of vendors, K-9 demonstrations, disc games and more. “It was a fabulous day,” said Cheshire Dog Park member Jeanette K.

On June 13-14, 2014, the 17th year of the Cheshire’s Relay for Life will be held at Cheshire High School. Cur-rently, there are 49 teams signed up, with approx-imately 421 people. The Cheshire Citizen will intro-duce some of the people and faces behind the teams who make up the Relay as a re-minder that cancer can affect anyone at any age.

Cheshire Relay for Life Youth:

“I was a Relay baby. Re-ally. I was in a stroller, go-ing around the track with my mother,” said CHS senior Sa-mantha Welch. “My grandfa-ther’s side of the family had breast cancer, and my grand-mother had cancer. They all fought and survived.”

As a captain for her team in Dodd, and then helping

to chair the Relay with her mother by the time of her CHS freshman year, Welch now steps up as Relay for Life Youth Coordinator. While she no longer has one spe-cific team, Welch oversees about 40 youth teams, and “handles all things youth.” That includes mentoring youth groups, and answering questions.

Two ambassadors who Welch works with are Shawn Germaine and Jess Kosciuk. In Germaine’s experience, she explains that her mother, sister and brother have been in the Relay. “They would join friends who had their own teams.”

The CHS junior also has seen the affect cancer has had in her neighborhood. One neighbor who had skin cancer is doing well with treatment. Another, long-time neighbor became sick with Stage 4 lung cancer, and unfortunately did not sur-vive. “She was like a second mother to me.” This past May was the one-year anniversary of her death. Only recently, yet another neighbor died of lung cancer. “It’s hit my fam-ily pretty hard lately.”

Along with being an am-bassador, she is a co-captain with Jess Kosciuk for team, Batman, The Cure for Kids. “It’s a good thing to do,” said Germaine of the event. “I be-

lieve in the charity.”Kosciuk is a newcomer

when it comes to being in a Relay for Life team. However, the CHS junior has been to many Relay events since ele-mentary school. She also has had cancer-related illnesses in her family, mainly blood cancers, such as leukemia. “My uncle was diagnosed last year and died in early March. I’ve been to Southington. I’ve volunteered in the past and that kind of got me wanting to do it, as well. I saw how cool it was.”

Opening ceremonies, com-plete with color guard, kicks off the annual Relay for Life. Within the Relay, assorted activities keep the energy positive and keep teams go-ing strong throughout the 24-hour event. “We have youth events like the bachelor auc-tion,” Welch said. “It’s fresh-man, sophomore, junior and senior boys ... we auction them off,” she said laughing. “It’s a huge hit. It’s so much fun.”

There’s a midnight vol-leyball tournament in the East gym, held in memory of Cheshire’s Katherine Toce, an 11-year-old Highland Elemen-tary School student who died of cancer in 2001. “We’re ex-pecting big a big crowd. It’s huge. We are excited,” Welch

Youth big part of Relay’s message By Joy VanderLekThe Cheshire Citizen

See Relay / Page 6

The American Cancer Society hosts the Relay for Life in thousands of communities and towns around the world to help adults and children, like Theresa Fitzpatrick, who lost her battle with Rhabdomyosarcoma cancer in June 2013. Theresa is shown here in 2012 at the starting line with her supporters during the Relay for Life.

“I was a Relay baby. Really. I was in a stroller, going around with my mother. My grandfather’s side of the family had cancer, and my grandmother had cancer. They all fought and survived.”

President David Demchak said in a statement.

Town Manager Michael Milone attributed Cheshire’s success in reducing losses to a combination of fac-tors, including the work of the town’s risk management team, training and replace-ment of equipment.

Local unions also have safety committees that work with the Board of Education, Milone said.

Milone cited the re-placement of walk-behind snow-removal machines with ones that have enclosed cabs as an example of upgrading to safer equipment.

Milone said a “culture of

safety has been created,” par-tially due to the work-related death of a public works em-ployee in 1997.

“It’s in the back of people’s minds that all you need to do is be careless once, and you may never get the chance to be careless again,” he said.

“It galvanized people about the importance of safety.”

CIRMA started the risk management awards in 1980 “as a way of celebrating the work that our members do to reduce loss and their day-to-day activities to make work-places safer,” Field said.

“We’re celebrating the acci-dents that don’t happen.”

Timothy P. Slocum and Coun-cilor James Sima suggested that the building commis-sion has been “dragging its feet” on the concession stand project the council delegated in the fall.

Slocum also said the com-mission has taken “three years to move from point A to point B” on the locker room renovation.

Voters authorized $500,000 for the renovation at a 2009 referendum. Meriden-based BL Companies was hired to design it in 2011. The council added $50,000 to its budget in 2012.

Commissioner Mark Nash said the council is to blame for the delays, calling some members “backwards and ob-structionist” with “no desire to look down the road.”

The best way to respond to the increased estimates is to put the work out to bid, Tal-bot said.

“How can we really know how much money they’ll cost if we don’t go out to bid?” he said.

The Council voted 6 to 3 at its May 13 meeting to table bidding on the revised locker room plan until July.

The opposing sides also dispute the cost figures each cite for the projects.

Talbot said the budget for the concession building was intentionally set below the $350,000 threshold that would trigger a referendum.

Slocum accused commis-sioners of “glorifying” new cost projections for individ-ual projects in a “transpar-ent” attempt to revive plans for a field house structure de-signed to address the locker room and concession stand building issues, as well as cre-ate a solution to the school’s storage problems and provide other amenities.

The school currently stores items for athletics, band, the-ater and graduation in nine portable trailers.

Field house proponents have argued that it makes more sense to remedy the problems with a comprehen-sive solution instead of iso-lated fixes.

Building commission mem-bers raised this point again at a meeting this month, noting that the revised cost of the locker room and concession building work is more than $1.3 million, not that far off from a $2 million estimate for the field house.

However, Michael Stein, the concession structure ar-chitect, told them the $2 million figure was an under-estimate. He said he reviewed the original plans for the field house and determined it would cost $4.5 million.

Sima isn’t surprised by the new estimate, saying that the $2 million price tag was a “very loose projection” that came from commissioners’ calculations based on com-parable structures in other school districts, not an archi-tect’s professional estimate.

Talbot said the field house should be included in this year’s capital budget and submitted for referendum. The project was under con-sideration for last year’s cap-ital budget but ultimately not included.

“Let’s let the people have their say,” he said. “Why should nine people sitting in a room decide what 29,000

residents get?”

Relay

said.Kid’s Care is an area made

up of all the elementary schools. They are their own little sub-Relay, said Welch. They have T-shirt contests that they make themselves, and other fun activities.”

According to the Welch and her ambassadors, one of the most touching events at the Relay is the Luminaria ceremony that honors those lost, those who survived and all who continue to fight against the disease.

The response of the com-munity and especially her

fellow students when “one of their own gets this horrible disease,” is something that has left a huge impression on Welch. In her freshman year, Welch was introduced to “a very nice girl by the name of Theresa Fitzpatrick.” The-resa had cancer. “Now nor-mally you don’t see high school kids wanting to do a lot,” said Welch. It was differ-ent though when it came to supporting Theresa, she said. On the day of the Relay that year, Welch said every stu-dent in the school was pres-ent and each wore Theresa’s team shirt: a purple, tie-dye T-shirt, emblazoned with, Theresa’s Battleship. Fitz-patrick lost her fight to can-cer in June 2013, a year after graduating. However, teams still enter the Relay under her team name and in her honor.

Theresa is just one exam-ple of how much heart so many have for this event, said Welch. “It’s amazing to see all these high school students come together for Relay,” she said. “It’s crazy, but this disease has brought the Cheshire community so much closer than I would ever think.” To find out more about Cheshire’s Relay for Life, go online to www.cheshirerelay.org.

Planning and Zoning panel studies ‘inclusionary zoning’

The Planning and Zoning Commission heard a presen-tation on a program designed to encourage mixed-income housing Tuesday, May 27, as part of the process of drafting the town’s new Plan of Con-servation and Development, its conservation and develop-ment blueprint for the next 10 years.

Cheshire must submit its plan to the state by July 2015.

David Fink, policy direc-tor of Partnership for Strong

Communities, a statewide housing policy organization, explained the concept of “in-clusionary zoning,” which involves regulations that re-quire a percentage of new housing construction to be affordable to people with low to moderate incomes.

Fink said the state hous-ing market has changed dras-tically in the last few years, with more people seeking housing options other than the single-family homes pre-dominant in most towns.

Cheshire has 84 percent single-family homes, he said.

Fink said the change is pri-marily being driven by towns trying to provide affordable housing to their young peo-ple, along with workers such as police officers, teachers and nurses.

“If we want to keep our sons and daughters here, they’re going to need some kind of housing,” he said.

Only 24 percent of

Cheshire’s homes have two bedrooms or less, Fink added. The state average is 42 percent.

Towns also are trying to accommodate retiring baby boomers who are seeking to “downsize” their residences, Fink said.

One benefit of inclusionary zoning is that municipalities with a “wider array of hous-

ing options and therefore a wider array people tend to re-tain property values,” he said.

Fink said many Connecticut towns that are demographi-cally similar to Cheshire have instituted or are exploring in-clusionary zoning.

He cited Ridgefield, Brook-field, Haddam, Clinton and

Zoning

Guilford.“A lot of towns are looking

to create that kind of housing where residents are OK with it,” which is usually the town center, he said.

Commission member Di-ane Visconti asked Fink to provide an example of a town comparable to Cheshire that has had success with inclu-sionary zoning.

Fink cited Old Saybrook, which created one such zone and is adding a second.

Fink said the key to imple-menting inclusionary zoning is having a “townwide conver-sation” about it beforehand.

He said many residents misunderstand the kind of people it is intended to serve. “People think it’s drug dealers and gang members,” instead

of hard-working profession-als of moderate means, he said.

Fink told commission members to “take as long as you need to” as they talk with residents and consider whether inclusionary zoning is right for Cheshire.

“The process is now asking you to be proactive and take a look at what people want,” as well as what the town needs, he said.

Raising spirits and awareness at the cemetery

The Cheshire Historical Society is planning its first “Spirits Alive” Cemetery Tour for Oct. 17-18. The idea is to reach a broader audience with a visual reenactment of Cheshire history.

“We want to make history come alive,” says Diane Cal-

abro, president of Cheshire Historical Society. “We want to spark an interest to people who aren’t big on history.”

The Cheshire Historical Society will host its next meeting on June 13 at the Hill-side Cemetery and is seek-ing more volunteers for the event.

The tour will occur at the Hillside Cemetery in central

Cheshire. According to Cal-abro, the Hillside Cemetery has continuously operated since the early 1700s.

Brothers Stephen and Thomas Muholland chair the event.

They currently seek vol-unteers to run booths, design costumes, light the trail, greet people, guide the tour, and to act.

The actors will be the main focus of the tour.

“Every actor will be por-traying someone buried in the cemetery,” said Stephen Muholland.

“We researched personal stories of their lives from the times they lived in. The ac-tors, through these people, will tell their stories.”

The Cheshire Historical Society drafted scripts for the actors. The scripts are based off of historical books found in Cheshire. According to Ca-labro, the book “Landmarks of Old Cheshire” played a major part in forming the scripts.

“When you’re working with historical facts, you don’t want to veer too far off the path,” said Calabro. “Peo-ple have specific histories of what they did in the course of

their lives or what they did in Cheshire. We want to share that factual history.”

Calabro says the actors are responsible for projecting these stories to the audience.

“Someone can present it forcefully or someone can present it wistfully,” said Ca-labro. “The emotional part of it is where the actor’s real talent will show. We hope they will get a sense of the person’s life and how to best present their personality and character.”

Muholland said there will be three rehearsals before the “Spirits Alive Tour.”

“This is important because we really want to raise aware-ness of Cheshire’s history and preserve the cemetery. We want to entertain and teach those on the tour,” says Muholland.

OpinionVeterans History Project a Library of Congress treasure

It’s easy to spend hours perusing the Library of Congress website at loc.gov. The collections of Amer-ican life are amazing and include audio, video, pho-tograph and document ar-chives. There are files that range from Look magazine to World War II Military Situation Maps.

There’s Stars and Stripes: The American Soldiers’ Newspaper of World War I, 1918-1919. There are topics from technology to art, to history to immigration and native peoples.

This Memorial Day, as we take a moment to reflect, we’d like to draw your at-tention to several selections in the American Memory project which are available online.

One recent audio presenta-tion is the Sept. 11, 2001 Doc-umentary Project.

The library notes that: more than 60 years ago, the American Folklife Center mounted a similar effort to document national sentiment in 1941 following the attack on Pearl Harbor: After the Day of Infamy: “Man-on-the-Street” Interviews Following the Attack on Pearl Harbor. (This audio tape also is avail-able online.)

The Sept. 11 documentary “captures the heartfelt reac-tions, eyewitness accounts, and diverse opinions of Americans and others in the months that followed

the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and United Air-lines Flight 93.

Patriotism and unity mixed with sadness, anger, and insecurity are common themes expressed in this on-line presentation of almost 200 audio and video inter-views, 45 graphic items, and 21 written narratives.

The day after the attacks, the American Folklife Cen-ter called upon the nation’s folklorists and ethnogra-phers to collect, record, and document America’s reaction.

A sampling of the mate-rial collected through this effort was used to create the Sept. 11, 2001, Documentary Project.

This collection captures the voices of a diverse eth-nic, socioeconomic, and political cross-section of America during trying times and serves as a histor-ical and cultural resource for future generations.

The Veterans History Proj-ect of the American Folklife Center collects, preserves, and makes accessible the personal accounts of Amer-ican war veterans so that fu-ture generations may hear directly from veterans and better understand the reali-ties of war. The Project col-lects first-hand accounts of U.S. Veterans from the fol-lowing wars: World War I (1914-1920); World War II

(1939-1946); Korean War (1950-1955); Vietnam War (1961-1975); Persian Gulf War (1990-1995); Afghan-istan and Iraq conflicts (2001-present).

In addition, those U.S. citizen civilians who were actively involved in sup-porting war efforts (such as war industry workers, USO workers, flight instructors, medical volunteers, etcet-era) are also invited to share their valuable stories.

The United States Con-gress created the Veterans History Project in 2000 and it is an ongoing project.

Its mission is to collect, preserve and make ac-cessible the first-hand re-membrances of America’s war veterans from WWI through the current con-flicts, so that future gen-erations may hear directly from veterans and better understand the realities of war.

The Veterans History Project of the Library of

Congress American Folk-life Center is primarily an oral history program that collects and preserves the firsthand interviews of America’s wartime veterans.

VHP relies on volunteers, both individuals and organi-zations, throughout the na-tion to contribute veterans’ stories to VHP.

In addition to audio- and video-recorded interviews, VHP accepts memoirs and collections of original pho-tographs, letters, diaries, maps and other historical documents from World War I through current conflicts.

Many of our participants choose to interview friends or family members that have served in the military. However, local veterans service organizations, a lo-cal or regional Department of Veterans Affairs facility, a senior center or a retire-ment community are good places to locate veterans who might be interested in sharing their story.

To learn more email [email protected] or call (888) 371-5848. The library also encourages visits to VHP’s Information Center, which is located in Room LM-109 of the Madison Building (101 Independence Ave, SE, Washington, DC 20540). It is open from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. (EST), Monday through Friday. The Library of Congress is closed on all federal holidays. Please contact VHP prior to your visit to ensure VHP staff are available (email [email protected] or telephone (888) 371-5848).

Currently, the Veterans History Project is highlight-ing the Aleutian Campaign, the “unknown campaign” of World War II. The follow-ing is from a March 18 press release from the VHP:

The history of World War II is populated with battles and place names that have become legendary: Omaha Beach, Guadalcanal and Okinawa. Less familiar are Adak, Attu and Kiska.

They are part of the story

of the Aleutian Campaign, in which thousands of American soldiers fought against Japanese forces that had invaded islands off the coast of Alaska, which was then an American territory. It is these battlegrounds —and the stories of those who served there — that the Vet-erans History Project brings to light in the latest install-ment of the “Experiencing War” web series, available at www.loc.gov/vets.

Beginning in June 1942 and lasting through July 1943, American forces strug-gled to take control of Attu and Kiska.

Not only did they con-front the Japanese, but they also battled another enemy: the unforgiving climate of the islands.

Despite the dramatic en-vironment in which they served, and their successful defense of American soil, these soldiers’ stories have largely disappeared from the collective memory of the war. Currently, the Vet-erans History Project holds more than 500 stories of veterans of the Aleutian Campaign and hopes to add many more to the col-lection in order to best tell the story of World War II’s “unknown campaign.”

With this feature, VHP highlights the stories of a handful of veterans who took part in the Aleutian Campaign.

They include Dean Gal-les, who sustained bayonet injuries during hand-to-hand combat with the Jap-anese, and Clifton Davis, who describes the unique blizzards known as “willow-aws” that were common in the Aleutians.

Also featured are the sto-ries of Seabee Earl Long, who discovered a love of reading while on the long journey to the Aleutians, and Howard Bernstein, a pi-lot who flew bombing mis-sions out of Attu Island.

Cheshire High School’s Ro-botics Team, has had a busy and successful season. This past March, in a three-team alliance with Southington High School and Hill Re-gional Career High School in New Haven, it won first place in the FIRST Robotics South-ington District Event.

The team did not place in the regionals in Boston this year, however, it advanced as far as the semi-finals at the Connecticut Championships on May 17.

This year, for the first time, the robotics team, along with its robots, walked in the Cheshire Memorial Day Pa-rade with the District First Place alliance team, Hill Regional.

The FIRST Robotics Com-petition is an international high school robotics com-petition organized by FIRST (For Inspiration and Recog-nition of Science and Tech-nology). Each year teams of high school students com-pete to build robots, weigh-ing up to 120 pounds, that can complete tasks, which change every year. Game de-tails are revealed at the be-ginning of January and the teams are given six weeks to construct a competitive ro-bot that can operate auton-omously, as well as guided by wireless controls, to ac-complish the game tasks. In the Southington District Event, where The Mecha-Rams came in first, 32 teams competed.

On June 14, the Mecha-Rams plan to compete in the Where is Wolcott In-vitational, at Wolcott High School, 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. Ad-mission to FIRST events is free and open to the public.

Panel recommends extending APEX technology contract

The Town Council Tech-nology Study Group voted unanimously May 28 to rec-ommend that the council ap-prove a two-year extension of Cheshire’s contract with APEX Technology Group, its technology consultant.

The group was assembled to formulate a five-year tech-nology plan for the town.

APEX was originally con-tracted to design the plan but later took over management of the town’s day-to-day tech-nological operations from another consultant.

The town and Board of Education combine to pay APEX $240,000 per year un-der the existing agreement, which will not change.

The proposed extension does contain a provision for additional payment to APEX in the event of an emergency that requires it to provide extra hours of service for a prolonged period, such as a protracted power outage.

Arnett Talbot, Cheshire’s

public information offi-cer, endorsed APEX’s work. Whenever the town makes a specific technology-related request, the company’s an-swer is always ‘We’ll find a way,’ she said.

Prior to the vote, APEX Vice President Anthony Ver-rill detailed for group mem-bers the projects the firm has been working on since No-vember, as well as those it plans to undertake between now and the summer of 2016.

Verrill cited upgrades to the town website and waste-water treatment plant net-work, implementation of a new state-mandated video recording system at the po-lice station and the removal of Windows XP from Town Hall computers as among APEX’s focuses since the fall.

This year, the company will concentrate on imple-menting a new $185,000 phone system in Cheshire schools and installing a new door access control system at Town Hall and the police and fire departments.

By the summer of 2016, its goals are to expand the phone system to municipal offices and the door access system to remaining municipal loca-tions, along with upgrading police department software and systems, he said.

He also wants to draft an update to the original five-year plan.

Verill suggested modifying APEX’s recommended two-year $965,000 capital budget request that the group ap-proved last year.

He suggested moving some projects forward and consol-idating the two-year request into a one-year, $527,000 proposal.

Councilors Patti Fly-nn-Harris and Peter Talbot said they would present the proposed consolidation to the council when it begins work on the capital budget later in the summer.

SportsSoftball: It’s all — and nothing

C H E S H I R E — Th e Cheshire softball team con-tinued its offensive hero-ics with an 11-hit attack that featured four home runs en route to a 10-0 romp over vis-iting Hamden in a CIAC Class LL first-round game Monday afternoon.

The victory extended the No. 8 Rams’ overall record to 16-6 and kept them at home for a second-round game against No. 9 Fairfield Lud-lowe (16-5). The 25th seeded Green Dragons closed their season with a 10-11 mark.

Not only did Cheshire wel-come back pitcher Macken-zie Juodaitis to the fold after a period on the injured list, but the junior right-hander responded to the challenge with a no-hitter.

The only thing that stood

between Juodaitis and a per-fect game were a hit batter and three walks. Joudaitis struck out eight.

“We talked about the post-season and how you’ve got to work the black and paint the corners,” Cheshire coach Kristine Drust said. “We were waiting for good pitches to hit. We’ve been working on some solid, solid fundamen-tals when it comes to hitting.”

Leadoff hitter BryAnna McIntosh got the Rams on the scoreboard early. The Rams shortstop blasted a home run to deep left field.

Cheshire added a run in the home half of the second in-ning when Alexa DiLeo lined a leadoff single through the shortstop hole, before giving way to a pinch-runner. Mag-gie O’Reilly’s singled off the glove of losing pitcher Leah Rowe and McIntosh followed with a sacrifice fly ball to

right field. Casey Harding made it 3-0

in the bottom of the fourth with a home run to left center field. One inning later Olivia Odermatt made it 4-0 with a home run to left field.

“That’s a good team,” los-ing coach Peter Zoppi said. “They’re real strong hit-ting-wise, from No.1 through No.9. We got the ball up a lit-tle bit and they made us pay for it.”

Leading 3-0, Cheshire broke the game wide open with a seven-run sixth inning that featured a walk, four sin-gles, a hit batter and the home team’s fourth home run of the game. This one was off the bat of right fielder Sara Como.

That was all the offense Juo-daitis needed en route to her no-hit, no-run performance.

As a team, Cheshire now has 23 home runs on the season.

By Ted MoynihanSpecial to The Citizen

CHESHIRE — Cheshire got itself into trouble of its own making with two er-rors in the second inning against Ridgefield Monday afternoon.

The Rams’ bats made up for those miscues and had the last word as No. 9 Cheshire defeated No. 24 Ridgefield 12-5 in the first round of the CIAC Class LL baseball tournament at Burt Levanthal Field.

Cheshire (15-7) was to travel to No. 8 Glastonbury (15-6) for a second-round game Tuesday.

On Monday, senior cen-terfielder Dan Schock led the way for the Rams with three hits, including two home runs, three RBI and three runs scored as Cheshire had 11 hits and scored 10 times in the last three innings with four-run innings in the fifth and sixth.

As huge as his two hom-ers were — one solo and one a two-run shot — per-haps Schock’s biggest hit was a single in the fifth. With the score tied at 4, Schock’s base hit drove home Ryan Pierpont (three runs scored). Wes Robert-son scored on Ridgefield centerfielder Jeremy Gor-don’s errant throw to the plate.

Schock made a heads-up play by taking second and third on a head-first slide. He scored one batter later on a single by Cooper Mrowka (2-for-3, two RBI, two runs scored) to give Cheshire a 7-4 lead.

“I saw the throw, I knew it was going to go high, so I knew I was going to take second,” Schock said. “And then I realized no one was at third and I know I have pretty decent speed, so I was going to give it a shot. And luckily it worked out.”

Mrowka scored on a single by Adam von-Fischer (two hits) to com-plete Cheshire’s seven-run

comeback after the Rams fell behind 4-1 thanks to their disastrous second inning.

Cheshire starter Kyle Waldron zipped through the first inning, but was victimized by a throwing error by Robertson trying to pick off John Boscia at first, which sent the lead runner Colin Berlardinelli (single) to third.

Belardinelli scored on second baseman Tommy Savino’s throwing error to the plate and Boscia was knocked in by Wright Lind-gren’s single to make it 2-1.

Ridgefield (10-11) added two more on a sacrifice fly by starting pitcher Sam Sarath and a base hit by leadoff hitter Liam Smith.

“We were imploding there. (Waldron) threw very well,” Cheshire head coach Bill Mrowka said. “That causes him to throw 30 pitches in an inning, but he battled. He did well and we were able to obviously get some big hits when we needed to.”

Waldron gave up one more run in the seventh while picking up the com-plete game victory. Be-tween the third and sixth, he gave up two hits and faced 13 batters.

Cheshire tacked on four in the sixth on Schock’s two-run homer and pinch-hitter Richard Mills’ two-run triple. Matt Hickey had a two-run double in the fourth.

Schock’s two dingers give him a school record eight for the season and 11 for his career, which ties him with his coach, Bill Mrowka, who set the mark more than 30 years ago.

“It means a lot seeing as sophomore year, I had only one home run,” Schock said of the career record. “It’s pretty cool because the big guy (Bill Mrowka) had the record, so I want to beat it for a little bragging rights.”

Said Bill Mrowka: “I tell you, with these bats that’s pretty impressive.”

More sock for SchockBy Paul RosanoSpecial to The Citizen

C H E S H I R E — Th e Cheshire boys volleyball team was in total control throughout its match with Xavier May 29.

Well, almost total control.After the first half of the

first game, when the Rams got settled, they truly dom-inated on their way to a 3-0 SCC Tournament champi-onship victory over the Fal-cons at Cheshire High. Game scores were 25-16, 25-13 and 25-21.

It was the fourth consec-utive SCC title for Cheshire (17-3) and f ifth overall. Cheshire senior Ted Li, who had 11 kills, five blocks, two digs and an ace, was named the tournament’s Most Out-standing Player.

“We came out a little slow, a little tentative, but once we got a rhythm going, a pace that we wanted, we did a re-ally nice job,” Cheshire head coach Sue Bavone said.

“One of the good things: We didn’t miss a lot of serves tonight. We’ve been missing a

lot of serves in the past. That was a plus. In the first game, once we started to put some pace on the serve, use the serve as a weapon instead of just getting it in play, we did much better. The rest of the game went off the serve.”

Xavier (12-7) led early in the first game except for ties at 1 and 15. After the second tie, Cheshire ripped off eight points in a row behind the serving of setter Trenton Hager (25 assists, two kills, one block, one ace).

The Rams put together four consecutive kills from 18-15 to 21-15, with one apiece from Patrick Lindner and Greg Zane sandwiched around two in a row by Lee.

The game ended at 25-16 on an unforced Xavier error fol-lowing another Lindner kill.

Cheshire made good use of the double-block, partic-ularly in Game 2, when the combination of Zane and Li made three doubles in a row for points that provided a 5-1 lead. Li had all five of his blocks in the second game, while Zane had four of his five.

“We’re not the biggest team, but these guys have good timing and these guys are pretty athletic,” Bavone said. “They’ve played a lot of volleyball, so they have a good sense of what’s happen-ing on the other side of the court. We know who we are, so we know how to play who we are.”

Xavier cut it to 10-7 in that second game, but Cheshire opened up leads of as many as eight points four times, nine three times and 10 twice on its way to a 25-13 win.

Xavier made Game 3 the closest of the night by hang-ing with Cheshire and getting to within one point at 21-20.

“We played hard tonight; Cheshire’s a very good team,” Xavier head coach John Post said. “They earned it tonight. Every time we did make a run, they had an answer for it.”

Cheshire won four of the last five points in Game 3 to close it out 25-21.

“The pace got a little slow on (Xavier’s) side (in Game

Rams re-Lax, repeatWEST HAVEN — The

Cheshire girls lacrosse team has been here before.

Four years in a row, in fact, which means the seniors know no different.

Winning the SCC Tour-nament championship, that is. May 29, the Rams rolled to their fourth straight con-ference title and seventh in program history with a 13-7 victory over Hand-Madison at West Haven’s Ken Strong Stadium.

Cheshire did it by domi-nating the second half 8-3, blowing open a game that stood 5-4 at halftime. The Rams, two days removed from their semifinal win over Amity, were simply far stron-ger down the stretch than the Tigers, who had just beaten Guilford in their semifinal the night before.

“They played a tough game last night and we knew if we could keep it close, we could pull away at the end,” said Cheshire coach Dan Warburton.

Senior Emma Farrel, who

followed up a four-goal, six-assist effort against Am-ity with three goals and three assists against Hand, was named the tournament’s Most Outstanding Player.

“Emma played patient and controlled. She was very smart this tournament with no turnovers,” Warburton noted. “She did all the things we needed her to do and more.”

For all her scoring, Farrel said it was Cheshire’s defense that made the difference in the tournament final.

“We won this game be-cause we had patience on offense and we held a great fast-break team down,” Far-rel said. “The defense had an amazing game.”

Alexa Carbone made four saves in net for Cheshire.

Olivia Larson had a team-high four goals. Maddy Levy, who had eight goals against Amity, zipped in two on the Tigers.

With the win, Cheshire im-proved to 13-5 and now moves on to the CIAC Tournament.

3) and we got kind of sucked into that slow game. A lot of really weird balls came over,” Bavone said. “I took a timeout and said ‘This is like a pinball game. Let’s try to settle down and play some clean volley-ball.’ And I think we did. We started to push the pace a little bit and we got back on track.”

Li led throughout for Cheshire, particularly at the net.

“Ted’s awesome,” Bavone said. “He did a nice job. He can do a little bit of every-

thing for us. He was All-State last year as our setter and this year we put him on the right side to be a hitter for us and he’s just been phenomenal.”

Referring to Li dedicating his MVP award to the entire team, Bavone added, “He fills up the stat sheet every game and he’s humble as you can see.”

Cheshire’s Colin Haensel added eight kills, six blocks and one ace.

Xavier senior captain Kevin Berger had 25 assists, Andre Zumerchik had seven kills and 10 digs. John Babon threw down seven kills.

BaseballXavier 11, Cheshire 6:

Big innings were the order of the day, six-run jobs for both Cheshire and Xavier in Middletown. The No. 4 Fal-cons, however, proved more resilient, scoring five more times on their way to a SCC Tournament quarterfinal victory over the No. 5 Rams at Palmer Field.

Cheshire starter Ethan Lonardelli retired the first six batters he faced. Then C.J. Caprio started Xavier’s big inning with a lead-off sin-gle in the third. By the time the Falcons (16-5) were done, they had scored six times on five hits and one error.

Caprio scored on a single by Laurence Hill (3-for-4, tri-ple, three RBI), Chris Cardi scored with the bases loaded on a walk to Will Garrity and Alex Parkos drove in two with a double. Alex Pia hit a run-scoring single and Rich Downey hit a sacrifice fly to left field to complete the scoring.

Girls lacrosseCheshire 18, Amity 8:

No. 4 seed Amity Regional scored eight goals in this SCC Tournament semifi-nal matchup against No. 1 Cheshire. The bad news for the Lady Spartans? Cheshire’s Madeline Levy single-handedly scored eight goals herself, leading the Rams to a convincing win at Alumni Field at the Maclary Athletic Complex.

Cheshire (12-5) held a slim 6-5 advantage at the end of the first half, but Amity (10-7) was able to wrestle away the lead at the onset of the second frame when goals from Eleanor Henn and Sarah Turner made it 7-6 with 22:28 remaining.

Cheshire advanced to the

SCC championship game at West Haven’s Ken Strong Stadium.

Boys volleyballCheshire 3, Amity 0: De-

spite its lack of size, Cheshire swept Amity in a Southern Connecticut Conference semifinal round contest. With three players listed at 6-feet 3-inches and another at 6-8, the visiting Spartans enjoyed a sizeable height ad-vantage over the host Rams. Despite their lack of height, the top-seeded Rams still managed to dominate play at the net, led by Patrick Lindner with 12 kills and six blocks.

Lindner combined with Greg Zane, who chipped in with five kills and seven blocks, to dominate the taller Amity front line. Meanwhile, setter Trenton Hager had 32 assists and three digs. Libero Eric Cusano had seven digs to lead the defensive effort.

The Rams dispatched the fourth-seeded Spartans by game scores of 25-17, 25-11 and 25-19. Amity played Cheshire to a 3-2 score the first time the teams met this season.

Track and fieldSCC championship:

The Cheshire girls were led by senior Selina Sampieri, who not only defended her SCC pole vault crown, but broke her own meet record

in the event. She cleared 11 feet, surpassing the 10-6 she nailed a year ago.

The Cheshire boys were led by Chibueze Njoko. The CCSU-bound thrower was second in the shot put (47-6) and second in the discus (153-7). Also for the Rams, Tyler Post was second in the 200 (22.96) and Mark Fusco was second to Cobb in the 800 (1:58.95).

Amity swept the boys and girls team championships at the SCC meet, held in Wallingford.

Hand won the team title and North Haven’s Ramsey Kong the individual crown at the annual conference tourna-ment at Racebrook Country Club in Orange. Kong shot a 1-under par 70 to take the medal. Hand, led by 75s from Brian Carlson and Tommy Pellett, carded a collective 310 to best runner-up Amity by six strokes.

Cheshire, the lone area team to qualify as a unit, placed sixth at 329. Chris Si-mione was low man for the Rams with a 79. Jake Ecke and Tom Arisco both came in at 80.

1: Though seeded No. 20, the Rams of New Canaan are the defending state Class L champs, and they took it to the Rams of Cheshire, who were seeded No. 13. Cheshire’s lone win came at No. 2 singles, where Sara Bruce recorded a 6-4, 6-2 final. Cheshire, which suc-cessfully defended its SCC Division II title this spring, closed its season at 13-5.

New Canaan improved to 10-7 and advanced to face No. 4 Amity.

Rams Notes

St. Bridget Church welcomes its new pastor, parish administrator

The new pastor at St. Brid-get Church, the 143-year-old Main Street house of wor-ship, officially assumed his pastoral duties May 17 by conducting his first mass that Saturday afternoon.

Since 2008, The Rev. Jeffrey

V. Romans has worked at the Chancery Office of the Arch-diocese of Hartford as assis-tant chancellor and secretary to the Archbishop. The tran-sition was immediate for Ro-mans, who didn’t conclude his responsibilities with the archdiocese until Saturday morning.

James Thomas, a member

of the Board of Education of St. Bridget School and a church leader met with Ro-mans before he started. In an emailed statement, Thomas said he was “immediately captured and impressed by [Roman’s] enthusiasm and excitement for starting his new assignment here” and is “confident that the parish

will embrace his leadership and visions.”

As parish minister, Ro-mans is ultimately the leader of the school, along with the church, even though school administration runs its day-to-day operations. “In the eyes of the archdiocese, I’m responsible for what happens in the school,” he said. His

objective is to “work collab-oratively with the principal and vice-principal to provide a safe center of faith-filled learning.”

“He’s a pastor of souls,” said Archbishop Leonard P. Blair, explaining one of Ro-mans’ primary roles in the

Pastor

school community. “He’ll minister to the students and their families.”

Blair said he got to know Romans well by working closely with him for the last few months.“I know the peo-ple in Cheshire are getting a very fine priest and a very fine pastor,” he said.

Romans is an “extremely competent, bright and caring person” who will be an “as-set to Cheshire,” said Maria Zone, archdiocese director of communications. “They’re lucky to have him.”

Before Romans’ stint with the archdiocese, he served in the church ministry as an as-sistant pastor and parish ad-ministrator. Romans replaces the Rev. Mark Suslenko, the pastor of Prospect’s St. Anthony Roman Catholic Church, who served as Saint

Bridget’s parish administra-tor after the November death of its former pastor, the Rev. Robert Ricciardi.

Romans is eager to get in-put as he charts a course for the parish. He sent a letter to every member inviting him or her to attend meet-ings with him. There are meetings scheduled for May 29 and June 3. “I’m open to new ideas and trying to find new ways to bring the gos-pel alive for the parish,” he said. I want us to continue to be a dynamic presence in the Catholic faith in the greater Cheshire community.”

From Page 18 “He’s a pastor of souls. He’ll administer to the students and their families.”
