Contractor questions I-84 bridge project, files claim for compensation
The operations manager for the crane and heavy lifting company that installed two highway bridges over Marion Avenue in June said the state Department of Trans-portation took a “big risk” in tear-ing out both bridges on the same weekend.
“I thought it was absolutely ludi-crous when it was first suggested,” said Jon Irwin, operations man-ager for Marino Crane of Middle-town. “It wasn’t the best thought process.”
The company is also looking for $300,000 from the DOT to compen-sate for a last-minute date change for the highway closure. The gen-eral contractor on the job, North-ern Construction, is looking for

After 40 years of working at Mount Southington ski area, 35 of them as presi-dent and general manager, Edward Beck-ley has officially retired.
Beckley, 70, started as the rental shop manager 40 years ago and five years into the job became president and manager. His last day was June 30.
What kept Beckley at Mount Southington for all those years? He said it was the people and staff.
“I think it’s just the abil-ity to go into work and know that you’re going in and people that you’re going to be dealing with are anticipating having a great day,” Beckley said.
Beckley said it was hard to pick a fa-vorite memory or accomplishment, but providing hundreds of jobs, working with the town, and updating some of Mount Southington’s infrastructure were some that stood out.
“Mount Southington itself has pro-vided so many jobs and job opportunities for so many young people on their way to college, or high school students making extra money,” Beckley said.
For years Beckley worked closely with Jay Dougherty, who started at Mount

Covanta Energy is working with the school system on a plan for food recycling at all town schools. If adopted, Southington would be-come the first town in the state to have the program, company offi-cials said.
Covanta officials presented a
plan to the Board of Education recently. The energy company is partnering with Turning Earth on a $20 million food-to-waste recycling plant due to open in town in early 2016. Under the plan, food waste from the schools will be hauled by Covanta to the Turning Earth plant at 111 Spring St. While school board members were excited about the food recycling concept, they were
concerned about the schedule. Co-vanta is proposing the program start in September, but board mem-bers said they need more informa-tion about cost and training first.
The food recycling plant is ex-pected to process 50,000 tons of food and 25,000 tons of leaf, wood, and yard waste. Food waste will

BRISTOL — A man facing manslaughter charges in a fa-
tal Southington fire appeared in Bristol Superior Court Monday morning for arraign-ment. His case was continued until later this month.
Eric Morelli, of 244 West-wood Road, faces first-de-gree manslaughter and three counts of first-degree reck-less endangerment charges. He posted $150,000 bond.
Friends have said the June 22 fire at 32 Darling St., which killed 19-year-old Kristen Milano, started after a man threw a lit firecracker up to a second-story window as a prank. The arrest warrant in the case has been ordered sealed until the next court date, July 29. The state’s at-torney’s office did not return a call on Monday seeking information about why the warrant remains sealed. Sgt. Jeffrey Dobratz, Southington

Beckley
Southington when he was 16.Dougherty, who is now 33,
will succeed Beckley. “I think (Dougherty’s) go-
ing to be a wonderful gen-eral manager with new blood and new ideas,” said Michelle Seamon, customer service and marketing manager at Mount Southington.
Dougherty’s f irst job was working in the Mount Southington ski and snow-board rental department.
“I grew up in Southington and Mount Southington was like my babysitter,” he said laughing. “I spent a good ma-
jority of my childhood here.”The 1999 Southington High
School graduate and town resident obtained a degree in resort management from Green Mountain College in Vermont in 2004.
“I was going to school for elementary education then I decided I wanted to turn what was my summer job into my career,” Dougherty said.
He became the assistant mountain manager in 2004, supervised the lift depart-ment and was in charge of dai ly maintenance, among other jobs at Mount Southington.
“I wish (Dougherty) all the luck in the world,” Beckley said.
“I think that he has excel-lent leadership skills and throughout the years he’s demonstrated them. I think he’ll do a great job and move the area onward and upward.”
Dougherty said he plans to continue with the vision Beckley and those before him put in place. He hopes to con-tinue to update the facilities and add new programs.
With his retirement, Beck-ley said he’ll be coming back to the mountain more often but in a different capacity.
“In the later years I haven’t done a lot of skiing because of time constraints while I was working.
“Now I plan to spend more time at Mount Southington and enjoying my free time,” Beckley said. “(I’m) looking forward to that.”

compensation for the delay as well.
DOT spokesman Kevin Nursick said state officials had no regrets about the proj-ect and that its success spoke for itself.
“We did this on the week-end and got it done ahead of time,” he said. “Clearly you didn’t need to space this out over two weekends.”
Doing the work over one weekend lessened the in-convenience to motorists, Nursick said, and was well within the acceptable “scope of risk.”
“We have no second thoughts moving forward,” he said, adding that future bridge replacements will likely be completed in a weekend.
Bridges carrying Interstate
84 over Marion Avenue were replaced without incident and hours ahead of schedule over the weekend. Marino Crane is a subcontractor for Northern Construction, the Massachusetts-based com-pany that won the bid for the $6 million job last June.
Irwin said his company is one of only a half dozen
in the world that could do such work. When Northern Construction requested bids for that portion of the proj-ect, only Marino and Cana-da-based Mammoet bid on it.
The east and westbound bridges could have been re-placed on separate week-ends, Irwin said, eliminating the risk of shutting down the entire highway if the project went wrong.
Shawn Clark, Northern Construction project man-ager, agreed that replacing both bridges on the same weekend was risky but man-aged by thorough planning.
“We had backup equipment for backup equipment,” Clark said.
The success of last month’s work means such concerns probably won’t be brought up again, according to Clark.
Construction and state of-ficials refer to the method as accelerated bridge construc-tion where a replacement bridge is built near the site and moved into place either with transports or on a track. Clark said such methods can cut costs by half and avoid
months or even years of road-work and accompanying traf-fic delays.
Marino Crane, owned by Barnhart Crane & Rigging of Tennessee, provided the transports that carried the bridge from its construction site beside the highway into place. Each bridge weighed 2 million pounds and was set 37 feet in the air.
Six months of planning and about 1,000 hours of en-gineering went into making sure the heavy bridge didn’t fall or crack while on its transport.
“I can’t say I wasn’t up nights for the last six months,” Irwin said. “There’ve been a lot of sleepless nights.”
All that worry and work was warranted, according to Irwin. With the heavy bridge high in the air, even a slight shift could have been disastrous.
“It’s like holding up a wa-termelon with 16 toothpicks,” Irwin said.
While Irwin was confident of the engineering behind the move, success was “all about the execution.” That meant
getting the best crews from around the country.
“I reached out to the cream of the crop,” Irwin said.
There’s a chance in such projects that something could go wrong, he said, and thought it better to close only one side of the highway at a time in case a problem did occur.
“We pick heavy things up and put things down. There’s risk in that,” he said. “My business is all about mitigat-ing risk.”
Irwin cited a similar bridge replacement project in New York last year. Bridges car-rying I-84 over Dingle Ridge Road were replaced on sepa-rate weekends.
In late May, the DOT moved the date to close the highway and replace the bridges from June 21-22 to June 28-29. The original date conflicted with the Travelers Championship in Hartford, a conflict that Ir-win said had been raised with DOT in previous months.
Nursick said the date change was due to “residual

nail-biting” on the part of state officials eager for the project to go smoothly.
“There’s always a little bit of nervousness going into closing down a highway for the weekend,” he said.
Traffic backups never ex-ceeded two miles, Nursick said. Traffic was flowing freely with no major delays during parts of the work, as it was on Saturday afternoon.
The date for the proj-ect was moved a number of times, with the original date in October of last year, ac-cording to Irwin. That would have allowed three months of planning.
“We told them that’s not going to happen,” Irwin said.
Claims, bonusesAbout 70 percent of Ma-
rino’s equipment was ded-icated to the Southington project, Irwin said, and the date change due to the Trav-elers Championship meant another week added to the project’s length. Marino offi-
cials asked for $300,000 from the DOT to compensate for lost opportunity due to the change.
“That blew the tops of their heads off,” Irwin said.
The claim is being re-viewed by the DOT. Irwin said he was told the company would get fair compensation.
“What’s fair in their minds probably isn’t going to be fair in my mind,” he said.
Nursick said the claims are under review and declined further comment.
Northern Construction is also submitting a claim for the delay but Clark declined to release how much the com-pany wants.
The 501-page contract be-tween Northern Construc-tion and the DOT imposed penalties if the company was unable to complete the bridge replacement work within the allotted weekend as well as bonuses if work was done early.
Interstate 84 was to reopen with all lanes at 5 a.m. June 30. When the contract was first released to potential bidders for review the penal-
ties, called liquefied damages, went as high as $600,000 for each hour beyond the dead-line and continued without a cap.
“Everybody turned away from it because the liquefied damages were so onerous,” Irwin said. “Nobody wanted to even bid the work.”
Those penalties were re-duced to $100,000 for each hour past the deadline and capped at $1 million.
As part of its contract with Northern, Marino stood to lose $12,500 for every 15 min-utes of extended highway closure. The Middletown company also gets 10 per-cent of any bonuses given to Northern.
According to the DOT con-tract, those bonuses range from $150,000 to $250,000.
Although the highway wasn’t fully open until around 8 p.m. June 29, Clark said he believes the company qual-ifies for either $200,000 or $150,000 worth of incentives since the work planned for the weekend was completed early and work planned for early July taken on.
“We were so far ahead of schedule,” Clark said. “We probably did eight hours of additional paving.”
Nursick said the matter is under review and declined further comment.
Despite his concerns about risk, Irwin said the DOT emerged from the bridge project looking “like heroes.” He expects accelerated bridge construction to be used more frequently throughout the state. “There’s going to be more of these. This is the new wave,” Irwin said.

Morelli
police spokesman, said as far as he knows the investigation is completed on the police side. A copy of the warrant was given to Morelli’s attor-ney, Raymond Hassett.
Judge Carl Schuman con-tinued the case until July 29. It will be screened to deter-mine if it will be transferred to the New Britain Superior Court Part A, which handles more serious cases.
Morelli appeared in the courtroom wearing a gray suit jacket and dress pants while standing alongside Hassett. Hugh Keefe, an attor-
ney for Milano’s family, was also in the courtroom for the hearing.
Outside the courthouse, Keefe stood with family members. He said the fam-ily is grieving the loss of their daugh-ter and sister, and did not want to com-ment further.
“It’s a very tragic situation, obviously,” Keefe said. “They are still in mourning.”
Morelli left the courthouse with his mother and Hassett.
Morelli declined comment as he walked to his car.
Hassett said Morelli is “pro-foundly remorseful about this entire situation.” He said he is concerned about Morelli.
Hassett said he advised Morelli not to reach out to Milano’s family. Morelli is working on getting his high school diploma, Hassett said. Hassett said he did not want to make any other statements at this time.
Joseph Goding, a childhood friend of Milano, said seeing Morelli walk out of the court-house was hard. Goding said he would have liked to see Morelli in custody.

On June 12, just before South-ington’s Matthew Leary com-pleted his sophomore year at St. Paul Catholic High School in Bris-tol, he was invited to the St. Paul School Board Meeting to present the school with a framed tapes-try he had acquired while on a pilgrimage to Rome during Holy Week this year.
“The tapestry is of St. Paul. It was purchased in a small tapestry and religious goods shop adjacent to Vatican City,” Leary said. “We were deciding what to purchase as a lasting gift to the school. The
tapestry made sense to us. It was framed by our friend, Bob Cusano, at Hallmark Frame Shop in Plants-ville Center. He did a great job in framing it to look like it’s hanging in a shadow box type of mount. He did a great job.”
Along with the tapestry, Leary presented a special Papal Blessing to the faculty and students of St Paul high school from His Holi-ness Pope Francis.
While in Rome, Leary spent time, preparing for his Confirma-tion with a newly-ordained priest of the Archdiocese of Hartford, Fr. Michael Casey, who is completing his studies at the Pontifical North American College.

include packaged or unpack-aged food products, food that may have spoiled at the store or scraps. Compost and methane are produced by de-composing organic matter, and the latter can be burned to produce electricity.
The school plan includes bins set up in the cafeteria and labeled so students could recycle their food and paper waste separately. Kitchens would also have bins for cafe-teria workers to recycle food.
Tom Cipolla, Covanta busi-ness manager, said he would like to get students more involved.
“And we would want to work with school leaders to talk about the best ways to communicate this to the stakeholders involved in the process to make this a suc-cessful program,” said Cipolla during the recent school board meeting.
Cipolla and fellow Covanta employee Mary Ruder ex-plained that they were hoping to implement the program in phases starting in September with the cafeteria workers and in December with stu-dents. Covanta would provide training for staff and educa-
tional programs on recycling. Board members thought
there wasn’t enough informa-tion in the preliminary pre-sentation and that September was too soon to start.
“There’s no doubt that re-cycling is the wave of the future,” said Brian Gorlaski, school board chairman. “We need to know costs.”
School board member Col-leen Clark said her two major concerns with implementing the program in September were training and cost.
“To me what they gave us was a great overview … but when you have 7,000 students you have to have some type of roll-out process which we didn’t get that night,” Clark said. “The cost for the con-tainers, training of our staff …obviously we would need a lot more detail than we got. It was a great overview. I’m looking forward to working with them.”
Karen Smith, the interim school superintendent, said at the board meeting that ad-ministrators will work closer with Covanta to address the school board’s concerns.
“We will do the work be-hind the scenes and bring to you a much more concise plan,” Smith said.

A lively day at Panthorn Park
We visited Panthorn Park off Burritt Street recently to get a glimpse of activities in this large Southington out-door recreational facility.
We asked people what they were doing there. Here’s what they told us.
Nicole Waller a catcher on the Farmington High School softball team had just played a tournament game and was relaxing with her mom, Lynn, on a beautiful day
while waiting for her dad and brother who were fish-ing in the pond after watch-ing her game.
Tyler Waller had just caught a small fish under the watchful eye of his dad, Co-rey. Tyler released the catch.
Gabriella Ortiz was with
her 4-year-old son, Joel, who enjoys the playscapes, walk-ing the paths with his mom and watching the fish in the pond.
Eric Bresnahan of Naugatuck comes to visit Southington every weekend while his wife visits her par-ents. Eric meets his fellow hobbyists who enjoy using their rugged, remote con-trolled dune buggies.
In another idyllic scene, children enjoyed a variety of playground games as parents socialized nearby.

Diet success prompted local woman to open a vegetarian restaurant
A little over a year ago Donna Prout decided to elim-inate processed food from her diet. When she made the switch to a vegetarian, organic lifestyle she lost 112 pounds and decided to share her love of food with more people.
In June, the town resident opened a vegetarian restau-rant called Greens and Beans in a Queen Street plaza next to El Pulpo.
“I wanted a place for peo-ple to see that eating unpro-cessed food is the best way to go and you don’t leave hun-gry,” said Prout.
All of her dishes are gar-nished with fruit. Specials include black bean burgers, baked stuffed buffalo por-tabella mushrooms, stuffed tomato with quinoa salad, veggie wraps, and spinach and blue cheese salad.
“Cooking has always been a passion,” Prout said. “I didn’t want to do it for a living but now I’m almost 50, so why not do what I love for the rest of my career?”
For eight years Prout worked as a sales representa-tive for a food distributor.
“I love the food service business,” she said.
Noreen Lotko and her boy-friend Keith Merwin of Pla-
inville were in the restaurant at 1217 Queen St. Wednesday afternoon.
Lotko has been a vegetar-ian for 20 years. She was ex-cited to hear that a vegetarian restaurant opened close to her home.
“It’s excellent,” said Lotko. Lotko introduced Merwin
to eating vegetarian about three years ago.
“It’s hard to find a vegetar-ian restaurant,” said Merwin. “I’m learning all the aspects; new tastes, new textures, and
new colors.”The two were waiting to
eat the “veggie napoleon” and the cheesy vegetarian casserole.
The veggie napoleon con-sists of layers of eggplant, zucchini, yellow squash, and tomatoes with cheese on top drizzled with balsamic and is one of Prout’s favorite creations.
“I’m happy with what I put on my plates,” Prout said.

Op-Ed
Humans crave knowledge … of the past, present and future, the unquenchable thirst for history, our story, what preceded us, what lies ahead. We take a moment today to tell you a few sto-ries and anecdotes about a Southington hero who was laid to rest one month ago, on June 11.
We begin with Ross Ayer, a 15-year old sophomore at Xavier H.S. Ross was given a Civics Class assignment to do an interview with a community member who exemplified citizenship. Ross thought about it. Remember-ing his days at St. Thomas School, the young man made a choice that now, ironically, appears to have been per-fect. He asked Joe Angelillo for an interview.
Ross never forgot the kindness and unselfish, giv-ing nature of Joe, especially with the kids at school. He’d occasionally buy pizza for a lunch party for the kids. Joe would buy hot dogs for the kids on a field trip. “He was always there for us,” Ross said.
May 17, Joe met with Ross and Ross’ dad at Joe’s usual morning coffee time at Lewis Farms. They began their conversation there, continued it, at Joe’s sugges-tion, at St. Thomas Ceme-tery where Joe was working on the decorated brass med-als representing each of the armed services in front of the memorial monument to our lost armed services veterans in preparation for Memorial Day. Joe explained to Ross how he had designed a system to hold the service medals in place, safely and securely in concrete-filled No. 10 tomato cans, a story
often retold now.Joe also checked the sta-
tus of Troop 45 Eagle Scout candidate Dan Arnson’s in-stallation of a memorial gar-den and a meditative granite
bench sur-rounding the flagpole and monuments. Joe had re-paired and re-painted the flagpole and raised a new flag in anticipation
of the dedication on May 26.Reading about the Life
Scout project of Matt Leary last year, Joe asked me to let him know when Matt makes Eagle Scout so he can pres-ent him with a professional hunter’s knife, as he does with scouts in town achiev-ing the rank of Eagle. Their work at the cemetery done, Ross and Joe concluded the interview at Lewis Farms.
Ross received an excellent grade for the interview with a bonus of an experience of a lifetime.
A Southington native told me of an experience with Joe Angelillo years ago, when she was 19. She was employed in a starting job paying less than she could afford for rentals in town. She approached Joe, who had an old house soon to be vacated. Upon learning the house was in serious dis-repair she asked Joe if she could live in it while doing the necessary repairs herself, with Joe providing the mate-rials needed in exchange for a low rent. She was as sur-prised by the low rent as Joe was of the quality work she

The month of July got off to a fantastic start.
The United States men’s soc-cer team was ousted on the first day of the month from World Cup competition.
And, personally, I couldn’t be happier that they lost.
But before you grab your torches and pitchforks, let’s play a little game of trivia:
Newly-minted American and
World Cup legend Tim Howard, who made a remarkable 16 saves in the United States’ 2-1 loss to Belgium, plays for which Major League Soccer team when not sporting the stars and stripes?
If you know the answer, kudos to you.
If you don’t, find a bucket of water to douse those torches.
You see, I’m a fan of the World Cup. Seeing the finest the sport of futbol has to offer

did in fixing up the house later that year.
Fr. Nick Melo, pastor of St. Thomas Church, said: “Whenever Joe saw some-thing needed to be done, he got it done. This year, while preparing the statue of the Blessed Mother for the an-nual May crowning, Joe said: ‘It needs cleaning.’ That day, Joe did it himself!”
Joe Angelillo left some un-finished work. The Knights of Columbus and UNICO have been discussing plans to present a monument to Christopher Columbus to the town. With Joe’s per-sonal style of “let’s get it done,” the committee pro-
gressed in raising some seed money, developing sketches, sources and myriad details. With much fund-raising still required, the committee has decided to carry the de-velopment forward in Joe’s honor with a hopeful possi-bility of completion this fall or next spring. More about this in the weeks ahead.
Beneath a gruff exterior, Joe Angelillo is remembered as a man who dedicated his life to his faith in God, his country, his community and the needs of others, espe-cially our youngest. Here then, we present a summary written by Ross Ayer of his interview with Joe Angelillo on May 17, 2014.
“Mr. Angelillo is a nine-
ty-one year old citizen of Southington, Connecti-cut. He was born in 1923 to Henry and Amelia Angelillo. He is very well-educated, having a high school educa-tion, a BS, an MS, and more years of education in the Navy. He was drafted into the Navy at age nineteen for World War II. Mr. Angelillo has experience in many jobs;
he was in the Department of Education the longest. Mr. Angelillo has lived through many major events in our town history, and has seen Southington change greatly over the years. He is in the Knights of Columbus, Amer-ican Legion, Elks, and other such organizations. He en-joys working with children, and supports Saint Thomas
School however he can. Mr. Angelillo is very well known in his community for his generosity – donating both his time and money. Mr. An-gelillo has had a great influ-ence on those around him, and continues to do so.”
Ross had properly nailed Joe as someone people just liked to be around.

from countries around the globe, meeting once every four years to crown a cham-pion, is unlike just about every other athletic event in existence, aside from the Olympics.
Yet I just can’t offer up my support for Team USA. At least not yet.
I find it difficult to sit by idly and root for a team I know nothing about. Aside from knowing that Howard
would be playing for the Yanks in the 2014 Cup, one of the few pieces of informa-tion I knew about this year’s team was that Landon Dono-van was staying home.
That truly was the extent of my knowledge about the U.S. soccer team.
Yet blind faith and patrio-tism just wasn’t enough for me to root for my home na-tion this time around.
Sure, I easily could’ve thrown on a red, white,
and blue bandana, popped open an overly-American beer, and stood around in a crowded room with a ton of people who also knew very few intricacies about the sport of soccer, rattling off that nails-on-a-chalkboard chant of “I believe that we will win, ” but I just couldn’t do it.
I’ve always been a fan of particular sports teams for two reasons. One: I enjoy watching them play through
good times and bad, and, two: I know more about the team than a few players’ names and the team’s colors.
I give it my all when it comes to fandom, and pre-tending to know anything about the United States men’s soccer team and act like I care for a cou-ple weeks was not how I planned on spending the 2014 World Cup.
Instead, I stood back, sur-veyed the field of 32 teams,
and made a conscious de-cision: although I wouldn’t select one favorite for this year’s Cup, I would watch as many matches as I could with fervor and admiration, rooting for whatever coun-tries care more for the sport of futbol year-round than America does.
In short, I rooted for roughly 31 of 32 teams in the field of group play.

America is a very proud country, especially when competing on a national scale. But to say that our country cares more about the sport of soccer than those who live in Cameroon, Spain, Portugal, or England (all teams that failed to ad-vance past pool play) would be a downright lie.
So instead of faking my allegiance to a team I knew nothing about, I decided to root for the countries that actually deserve my support: countries that care about the sport of soccer every day, rather than once every four years.
Yes, I’ve seen individuals in America who care about the sport.
I’ve met Team USA die-hards who love to follow the squad’s highs and lows in in-ternational competitions on any given day.
I’ve seen plenty of high school soccer in the past year to convince me that the love for the sport is alive and well in the States.
Just not at a national level. At least not yet. And most definitely not year round.
If it was, two things would
have happened by now.The first: those still read-
ing who haven’t used this column as kindling for their torches would be able to an-swer my question from ear-lier about Tim Howard and what club he plays for.
I’ll give you a hint: it was a trick question. Howard doesn’t play for an MLS club, but rather Everton of the English Premier League.
Which leads me to my second argument: if the sport was really growing in America, I’m sure more players from Team USA would actually play stateside during their club season. In-stead, 13 of the 25 men who represented America for the Cup still choose to play on foreign soil when not don-ning the stars and stripes, including Howard, standout midfielder Jermaine Jones, and the hamstring-plagued Jozy Altidore.
And, unfortunately, it doesn’t exactly look as though soccer on Ameri-can soil will soon receive an influx of national team mem-bers joining their ranks.
Howard was quoted on ESPN radio’s morning show “Mike and Mike” last week as saying that he didn’t be-
lieve it was up to members of Team USA to help build the sport stateside: “I sup-pose it’s talked about in that context where it is on our shoulders to grow the sport. We go out and play a beauti-ful game -- or at least we try to -- and the supporters are either attracted to that or not,” Howard said.
I don’t quote this try to turn a nation against its newest sports hero. But it sure doesn’t look as though America’s finest talent will be going out of its way any-time soon to ensure that the sport thrives in the States year round, rather than once every presidential term.
So when Belgium and the United States squared off in their Round of 16 matchup July 1, you can sure bet that I was rooting for the country that roots for the beautiful game all year long.
And when the final horn sounded, I was quite pleased with the outcome. The nation whose fan base is comprised of true fans was victorious.
Three cheers for the black, yellow, and red. Both the players, and the fans, de-served it.
Waffles all around.

“When nothing is on the plate after, it’s good news.”
Prout gets her produce from Northeast Produce in Plainville and also works with Thurston Foods in Wallingford. Everything she uses is whole grain.
Kevin Mastrianni helps Prout cook. He’s a chef at Mount Southington and cooked with Southington Bread for Life for 10 years. It is the first time he has cooked strictly vegetarian meals.
“It has been interesting,” Mastrianni said. “There’s a lot you can do with it.”
Prout’s goal is to show that cooking with grains and veg-etables does not have to be boring. She mentioned an Asian wrap she makes with tofu and grilled pineapple.
“I’m hoping everyone tries it and sees that healthy eating isn’t that bad,” Prout said.

When selecting a pillow, choose one that will support the neck and back as one unit. A good pillow will keep your neck aligned with your chest and the lower portions of your spine. Otherwise, if you use one or more pillows to position your neck at an angle that is higher than your back (or, conversely, your head lower than your neck), you are in for a bad night’s sleep, or worse. The North American Spine Society also points out that it is not good to sleep on your stomach if you have back pain. Sleep on your side instead. Almost one third of our life is spent sleeping. Sleep is an essential biological need. In addition to rest and relaxation, proper sleep is necessary in order to maintain good physical and mental health. Doctors of chiropractic have always recognized, devel-oped, and provided a wide variety of treatment options specifically suited to your health needs. Chiropractic is not a replacement for drugs or surgery. It is an alternative. We urge you to try safe chiropractic care. We’re located at 200 Queen St., Southington, where we will only accept you as a patient if we feel we can help you. Please call 860.621.2225 to schedule an appointment. We offer affordable healthcare for the whole family. The answers you need. The care you deserve. P.S. If you are unable to sleep on your side, try placing a pillow under your knees, which prevents your back from overarching and helps reduce spinal pressure by about 50 percent.

Southington Italian Festival will again feature a homemade wine contest
Amateur winemakers are en-couraged to enter their red or white wines in the annual Ital-ian Festival’s homemade wine contest.
The Italian Festival runs July 25 to 27 in downtown. Wines must be entered by July 23. Bottles can be dropped off at Northeast Produce Regional Market, 101 Reserve Road, Hart-ford or 10 Jackson Way, Plain-ville, on weekdays from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. The other drop off lo-cation is Verizon Wireless in Patten Brook Plaza, 966 Queen St., from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m.
The Italian-American Com-mittee of Southington will again sponsor the wine contest with Northeast Produce, a grape
distributor.Last year, 36 bottles of red
and 10 bottles of white were entered.
First, second, and third place awards are given in each category.
Participants can enter as many bottles as they like, said Tony Cusano, event chairman. The wine will be judged on July 26 at 2 p.m. Winners will be an-nounced that day.
Luigi Barbato, who helps organize the contest and su-pervise the judging, said the committee used to charge $10 per entry and use the money toward cash prizes.
There is now no charge to en-ter and winners receive medals and gift cards for Northeast Produce.
“A lot of people enter just for
bragging rights,” said Barbato. “That’s why we took out the fee to participate because to make wine is not cheap.”
Cusano and Barbato both make homemade wine but ha-ven’t entered it into the contest because of their involvement.
“I used to enter my red and my white,” said Cusano who grew up helping his father make wine.
For the past 30 years Barbato has been making his own wine.
“I usually do about 20 gal-lons a year, mostly red,” Bar-bato said.
Many entries come in close to the deadline.
“In my opinion it’s a lot bet-ter when they enter (early),” Cusano said. “That way so they hang onto the wine as long as possible.”

Town officials are working with a solar energy company on a plan to install solar panels on three schools and
other town property.The panels are expected
to be installed at Hatton, Plantsville, and South End schools this year and next year. Panels will be installed on the roof of Plantsville
School and on the ground at the other two schools.
The schools were chosen after Woodard & Curran Inc. was hired to explore energy revenue and savings at town buildings and property. The
town landfill and the Bran-denburg property on River Street are also being con-sidered for the first phase of the solar project, said Town

Mickey Blake’s tees off for charity
Twenty years later, NECBL still fills a need
The New England Colle-giate Baseball League has entered its 20th season, which has particular signifi-
cance to me because I was witness to its birth.
Bristol was one of six state cities to be granted a franchise, and with my experience in the front
office of Eastern League teams throughout the 1980’s, the team’s general manager Jimmy Wilson invited me to a meeting at ESPN on Nov. 29, 1993.
STAR-STUDDED FOUNDATION: In addi-tion to Bristol, teams were earmarked for Fairfield, Waterbury, Willimantic, Middletown and Stamford.
A Southington/Meriden team, guided by the late Joel Cooney and Russell Baim of Southington, was in the works for the following season. Cooney, a Meriden resident at the time, was the NECBL’s director of player development and was charged with setting up a league-wide computerized statistics program.
“We couldn’t get the fund-ing,” said Baim, whose son Eric played two seasons with the Waterbury White Sox. “You needed to get a com-mitment of so many dollars for uniforms, equipment, the entry fee, etc. For kids out of state, we had to get them places to stay and jobs. It be-came a huge undertaking.
“[The NECBL] has done very well expanding into other states and has had some decent players. My son played against [Texas
Rangers closer] Joe Nathan, who played shortstop for the Fairfield team.”
The league’s founders lined up an administrative roster of seasoned profes-sionals to help with the 1994 launching.
Former Cincinnati Reds and New York Mets slug-ger George Foster was the commissioner. Quinnipiac University baseball coach Dan Gooley was promotions director. The director of baseball operations was Joe Consentino, an Emmy-win-ning producer/director who played minor league ball and was the hitting coach at St. John’s University.
The late ESPN president Loren Matthews was a driv-ing force. Legendary UConn coach Andy Baylock was the NCAA liaison and state-based Dodgers scout Dick Teed served as a conduit
to Major League Baseball. Equally legendary Eastern Connecticut State Univer-sity coach Bill Holowaty and former Yankees and Mets utility infielder/har-monica aficionado Phil Linz among others were tabbed as consultants.
With a lineup like that, it’s no wonder the NECBL has grown to be one of the more well-respected summer col-legiate leagues that line up behind the venerable Cape Cod League. The concept was so solid that leagues have proliferated across the nation.
STRAHOWSKI PROS-PERED: Among the players on the 1994 Bristol Night-hawks was Chris Strahowski, a left-handed pitcher from Central Connecticut State University.
League started as an all-Connecticut circuit but has expanded throughout region
See Lipshez / Page 19
Ken Lipshez
The Southington Citizen | southingtoncitizen.com Friday, July 11, 2014 A19

Strahowski, a native of Bristol, who went on to pitch five pro seasons of indepen-dent league ball, doubles as a math teacher at Cheney Tech-Manchester and an ac-ademic advisor for the wom-en’s soccer and swimming teams at CCSU. He now calls Wallingford home and sits on the Wallingford Little League executive board.
“It was fantastic,” said Strahowski, who coached Manchester Community College to four National Junior College Division III World Series’ before the school abandoned the pro-gram for financial reasons in 2011. “I had the opportunity to play in front of hometown crowds. My choices were a temporary contract in the Cape or an impact guy in a new league and getting to play at Muzzy Field. It was a no-brainer.”
Strahowski retains friend-ships with many of the peo-ple he met in the NECBL’s nascent days, many of whom have gone on to successful careers, like Eric Baim, di-rector of secondary educa-tion for Torrington Public Schools.
“On that team alone, there were three people who were in my wedding party (Mike Church, Jerry Hasler, Kevin Browning) and are still my friends years later,” Stra-howski said. “You run into some of the people. [Night-hawks manager] Bob Love was a great mentor. He and Constantino were great role
models.”Strahowski also earned
his coaching wings in the NECBL with the Middle-town Giants from 1999-2002 under venerable Berlin High coach Leo Veleas. Members of the Giants included Con-necticut-bred future major league left-handed reliev-ers, Craig Breslow and Jesse Carlson, and Tigers out-fielder Rajai Davis of New London.
“I loved coaching with Leo,” Strahowski said. “He has that old-school men-tality. He came to trust me and let me do my stuff with the pitchers and that helped me out. I got my feet wet with decision-making with college players and that was fun.”
BACK IN THE GAME: Given my involvement in the Eastern League, I was thrilled to be back in base-ball administration, even though it was a non-paying position.
I helped put together the Nighthawks’ program, manned the public address system for games and wrote up results for the media. Any visit to Muzzy Field was always a special opportunity, and still is.
The games were low-scor-ing and almost totally devoid of home runs. The hitters were used to wielding alu-minum in college in the
days when balls would jump off bats and be discovered blocks away. The NECBL, like many of the colle-giate summer circuits, uses wooden bats.
I’d keep the scorebook and send the reports to Cooney, who meticulously organized them and produced reports almost daily. The league was well-run and I was proud to be a part of it.
But the boon of all sports leagues that try to make a go of it in small cities in towns revolves around finances, as Russell Baim quickly came to understand.
Catcher’s equipment is ex-pensive. Wooden bats break. Using the local ballpark usu-ally has some cost attached, but in Bristol late Parks and Recreation Department di-rector Dennis Malone was on the league’s board of di-rectors and the economy in general was less of an issue than it is today.
In spite of financial chal-lenges, the NECBL has flourished. The Connecticut Collegiate Baseball League and numerous others have blossomed in its wake and appear to be holding their own. The bottom line is young men have plenty of opportunities to play on beautiful fields at a competi-tive level, and only good can come out of it.

Solar
Manager Garry Brumback. The company looked at the
benefits of solar, small-scale wind projects, geothermal heating and fuel cells.
The town is working with Greenskies, a Middletown so-lar energy company.
“That’s a green effort and also a cost savings to the town because it should re-duce the energy,” said Town Council vice-chairwoman Cheryl Lounsbury.
Greenskies vice president Andrew Chester presented a preliminary proposal for the schools during a school board meeting last week.
“We will develop, finance, build, and own and maintain the solar assets for the town and the school district,” said Chester. “We offer the energy that they create at a reduced
rate.”The electricity from solar
panels at the landfill can be used by the town at a reduced rate.
Chester said the town wanted to “expedite” the in-stallation of the roof mounted solar panels at Plantsville School. The firm hopes to complete the work this year.
The total cost savings over 20 years is projected to be about $414,000 at Plantsville School, $850,000 at Hatton School and $678,000 at South End School, according to Chester.
Hatton School, South End, and the solar panels at the landfill are expected to be in-stalled in 2015.

Driver hurt in 2-car rollover
A local teenager pulled one man out of a car that had rolled over in a two-car crash Sunday afternoon.
Michael Aylett, 18, was driving on his lunch break from Mountain Grove Swim Club when he heard a crash and “saw a car sliding to-wards me on its roof,” he said Sunday.
The crash, which occurred near the intersection of Me-riden-Waterbury Turnpike and South End Road at about 2 p.m., sent one person by am-bulance to MidState Medical Center in Meriden, said Fire Lt. Jimmy Paul. The driver of the other car didn’t suffer any serious injuries.
Police had not released the names of either driver Sunday.
Aylett said he was heading to a deli for lunch, but when he found it closed, turned back toward McDonald’s, where he saw the collision.
“I wasn’t worried about the car hitting mine because it was really slowing down as it slid,” Aylett said.
His lifeguard training kicked in and Aylett and his friends got out to help.
Aylett said he approached the car that had rolled over and began asking the driver questions.
The accident occurred near 894 Meriden-Waterbury Turnpike (Route 322).
“We asked if he felt like his back was broken, and checked to see if he had any neck inju-ries,” Aylett said. When it ap-peared the driver was OK to move, Aylett opened the car door and pulled the man out.
Paul said he had no in-formation on the extent of the driver’s injuries Sunday afternoon.
Of the driver, Aylett said, “he was definitely in shock,” adding that he, himself was “pretty shaken” after the incident.
“I’ve never been in a situa-tion like that before,” he said.
Meanwhile, other bystand-ers were trying to corral the injured driver’s two black Labrador retrievers, who jumped out of the vehicle while Aylett and his friends were helping the man.
Aylett said he believed their names were Pepper and Boxy. Police Master Sgt. Mi-chael Kahn said they were last seen running south on South End Road Extension.
Anyone with information on the dogs’ whereabouts is asked to police at (860) 621-0101.
“We’d love to reunite them with their owner,” Kahn said.
Despite all that, Aylett said that by his estimation, the situation could have been worse.
“He didn’t have any major injuries that I could tell, and the door wasn’t jammed or anything,” Aylett said. “Seems like he got pretty lucky.”

Officials say proposed improvements to the Wa-ter Pollution Control Plant on Meriden-Waterbury Turnpike will prevent odor problems and save hun-dreds of thousands of dol-lars in hauling fees.
Last month, the Town Council unanimously ap-proved bonding $5.2 mil-lion for a sludge thickening and odor control project.
Voters wil l decide whether to spend the
money at a November referendum.
Neighbors complained of a foul smell last summer, a scent which was traced to the plant.
Officials first thought it was caused by the early heat wave but later dis-covered it was caused by a chemical used to remove phosphorus.

Sewer
biological reaction that pro-duced the odor.
Town Engineer Keith Hayden said that reaction will be prevented by keeping different types of waste in separate tanks.
“Keeping them separate is key to eliminating the worst of the nasty odors we had last year,” he said.
The other portion of the project will remove wa-ter from the sludge hauled out of town for incinera-tion. Hayden said reducing the tonnage that needs to be trucked from the plant will save “a couple hundred thou-sand dollars.”
The entire plant is in line for an upgrade in the next four or five years. Machinery that is 30 years old needs con-stant maintenance, Hayden said.
Town Councilor Cheryl Lounsbury, chair of the coun-cil’s sewer committee, said the odor control measures are necessary.
“That’s one we need very, very badly,” she said.
Upgrading the plant is also part of the town’s economic development, Lounsbury said. The upgrades are planned in stages to spread the financial cost and make sure the best equipment is purchased.
The plant was built to han-dle 7 million gallons a day, Hayden said, but normally
runs at around 3.5 million gallons.
All the plant’s functions are duplicated to allow main-tenance on systems that must run around the clock. Hayden
said the upgrade would take place on one half of the plant at a time while the other con-tinued to process waste.

Orchards
gether worked to imple-ment the program. Students worked closely with seniors at the Orchards.
“We had small group ac-tivities,” said Michele Kor-by-Gale, the director of activities for the Orchards. “We started off with about 14 Orchard’s residents and 25 to 30 students from Central. At first we got acquainted at a luncheon at the Orchards and residents hosted the students for lunch.”
Since 2012, the Orchards and university have contin-ued the program.
Some activities involved students and seniors discuss-ing the impact of technology
and the various technol-ogy advances, expectations on dating and relationships from the 1940s and 1950s, and interactive exercises with disability and how limited movement can make one feel.
The program is a way for both the seniors and students to get a glimpse into different generations.
A collaborative book called “From i-Grandma to Medi-care: Essays on Aging” was one of the projects generated through the program.
Audrey Vinci, executive di-rector of the Orchards, said the program benefits both the seniors and the students.
“Some of them don’t have grandparents and they have ideas about seniors, so it’s good to get them together so they can see,” Vinci said.
“Sometimes they have not been exposed to seniors (or) they’ve never been to an in-dependent and assisted living community.”
Each semester about 30 students are involved and since 2012 more and more se-niors have signed up to par-ticipate, said Korby-Gale.
“The residents also trav-eled over to Central and we had a few sessions there and that was nice for the residents to get a glimpse of campus life and actually take part in a couple classes,” said Kor-by-Gale. Over the summer Orchard staff with be work-ing with professor Andre-oletti on a new plan for the program that will start in the fall. Having more students involved in senior care is im-portant, said Vinci.

The artist behind the ‘Cha Cha Slide’ will be performing at 15 local events to combat childhood obesity by urging kids to be more active. Chi-cago’s DJ Casper became famous in 2004 for his infec-tious line dance anthem.
Casper will perform in the area from July 21 to 25, in-cluding stops in Meriden, Wallingford, Southington and Cheshire. His show merges fun and health ed-ucation through song and dance. About 5,000 children are expected to attend the 15 appearances.
Peter Smith, retired events planner at the Aqua Turf Club in Southington, said he has a vested interest in the pro-gram, having suffered from latent obesity problems for many years. Smith said he developed bad eating hab-its because his parents never taught him healthy eating.
“Childhood obesity is no longer a problem,” Smith said, “it’s a crisis.”
Casper will be coming to the Southington YMCA’s Camp Sloper on July 23 at 10:30 a.m. to entertain and educate about 100 kids, ac-cording to Mark Pooler, the
‘Cha Cha Slide’ singer to perform in effort to fight childhood obesityBy Leigh TaussSpecial to The Citizen

Casper
camp’s outdoor center direc-
tor. Pooler said the event is important to the camp.
“Anything to do with kids getting up, active, moving, getting exercise is something
that we’re going to embrace,” Pooler said.
John Rozz, owner of Sound Spectrum Entertainment in Wallingford, was responsible
for booking Casper for the area appearances.
“He’s going to preach good health through simple danc-ing,” said Rozz, explaining
that the line dance was devel-oped from a Chicago street dance called stepping.
Rozz said that the kids won’t have a problem keep-ing up.
“Kids can do these dances because they are very easy dances to do,” Rozz said.
The goal is “to point out to these kids that exercise can be fun.” said Smith, who works with Sound Spectrum. In between songs, Casper educates kids about healthy living.
Smith is confident that even kids who haven’t heard the ‘Cha Cha Slide” will love the program.
“Once they start dancing, they’ll boogie,” he said.
Smith said the series is funded by local donors and businesses, including The Carabetta Companies and Suzio York Hill, both of Meriden.
From Page 21
Area police and fire depart-ments were busy the night of July 3 responding to storm-re-lated calls.
Emergency services in Meriden reported downed trees or wires or other storm hazards on Gracey, Kens-ington, Murdock, Windsor, Preston and Pomeroy ave-nues; Center, Pine, North Colony, Yale and Hanover streets; Belvedere, Stoddard and Raymond drives and Or-egon Road.
Trees and wires reportedly struck cars and houses on some streets.
Meriden Police Sgt. Robii Abouchacra said the depart-ment “barricaded” several city roads that were impass-able due to the conditions and posted officers at the en-trance to others to advise mo-torists not to proceed unless it was absolutely necessary.
Southington police and fire units also responded to several calls, including an accident near 1081 South End Road in which at least one person was temporar-ily trapped inside a car, ob-structed by a toppled tree and utility pole with wires.
