She went on to give appre-ciation to female familymembers, along with teach-ers and other mentors. Look-ing to the audience, she paidhomage to, “All these wonder-ful women that you have whocome across your in life.”

It was not until Espositotook a mandatory class on“public health” class in col-lege that she found herself. “Icalled my mother and said, ‘Ifigured it out. I know where Iam supposed to be.’”

Honoree Sylvia Nichols isa nationally recognized floralinstructor and designer. Sheowned her own business intown for more than twodecades, was a past CheshireChamber of Commerce presi-dent, and is a current TownCouncil Member, as well asmanager for a local flowershop.

Nichols agreed with Espos-ito about positive commonbonds, but also brought uptravails women shared as so-ciety slowly evolved to whereit is today.

In the late 1950s, Nicholssaid, “Women were not en-couraged to do a lot in thebusiness world at that time.”

In high school, guidancecounselors suggested she be asecretary or a teacher. How-ever, Nichols said she alsohad great mentors and teach-ers.

She wanted to be a physicaltherapist, but with limitedfunds, decided to get her de-gree at a state college.

When growing up in the1940s and 50s, Nichols’ familylife included a mentally chal-lenged sibling and that influ-enced her decision to becomea special education teacherin Meriden.

Later, married and want-ing to start a family, Nicholswas required to leave theteaching job she was proud tohave. “The rule was you leftafter three or four months—(before) goodness anyone

WomenContinued from page 1

knew that you were preg-nant.”

When her second son be-gan school, Nichols began acareer as a floral designerwith DeVylder. She wantedto start a floral business ofher own by 1970.

Along with a partner, shemanaged to get the ear of abanker when he saw their de-tailed business plan. Howev-er, the banker wanted theirhusbands to sign for the loan.The women managed to talkhim out of it, but only gothalf of what they wanted—until the following year whenthe banker saw how well thebusiness was doing.

Nichols had been involvedwith the community throughGirl Scouts, volunteer work,and with a vocational train-ing school for design andmanagement, operated inconjunction with the Con-necticut Floral Association.

Carol Wallace said, “Mypath was different, in that itbegan back in 1865 when myfamily started manufactur-ing silver in Wallingford. SoI’ve been blessed to continuea heritage.”

Wallace knew that she hadto make her own way beforeshe reconnected with her fa-ther and the family business.

She was a woman in manu-facturing, “a man’s world,”she said. Her path was not al-ways smooth.

She worked at Dunn andBradstreet after college, thenwent on to the family busi-ness briefly. After which, shewent to Boston to work at asmall computer company. “Ihad to earn my own stripes,and not rely on my own fami-ly,” she said.

Her travels took her tomanufacturing at HughesAircraft in California, andthen on to the Midwest,where a client asked for herhelp in finding “the guy”they needed for a particularposition.

As it turned out, “the guy”did not work out, so she sug-gested the company hire her.It did—for a lesser amount of

money than had been offeredto the male applicant.

Today, Wallace has set herown course and is now chair-man, president and CEO ofCooper-Atkins.

“I had 13 years of workingwith my father, learning fromhim and growing the busi-ness together,” she said.

Among many accomplish-ments, Wallace serves on theboard of the Connecticut Wa-ter Company, as well as ZygoCorporation and SandstoneGroup, LLC of Milwaukee,Wisconsin.

Pool future unclear, revenue lost, afterbubble taken down

By Eve Britton The Cheshire Citizen

The busted bubble is nowgone from the communitypool in Bartlem Park and sois about $32,000 in revenuetown officials had expectedfrom the last months of win-ter and early spring.

The bubble and structuralsupports were taken downover the last two weeks, andan insurance adjuster hastaken a preliminary look atthe damage.

“We did hear back fromthem and the adjuster saidthe bubble is a total loss,”said Bob Ceccolini, Cheshiredirector of parks and recre-ation. “At least everythinglooks pretty good that wasunder the bubble.”

Officials still do not havean estimate for reimburse-ment, but are expecting thatinformation this week, saidSheila Adams, pool managerand aquatics director.

The protective bubble overthe pool collapsed from theweight of snow during thestorm that dumped about 30inches on Cheshire andneighboring towns in earlyFebruary. It’s the secondtime in three years that thebubble over the Olympic-sizepool has collapsed due toheavy snow. The pool openedin August 2003.

The last time the bubblecollapsed almost everythinginside was destroyed, fromdiving boards and lane linesto poles and ladders.

This time, the lights brokewhen the bubble burst, send-ing chards of glass over thedeck and into the pool. Now,the water is heated onlyenough to keep it from freez-ing. The blue and red lanelines bob listlessly as thecold breeze moves the water.The twin diving boards hangempty over the glass-filledwater. Swim fins, and otherequipment hang unused inbags around the deserteddeck.

“At first glance, it’s muchless than it was last time,”said Adams, looking at theequipment and broken lightspushed over to the side ofthe deck. “It’s a great con-

cept to have an indoor/out-door pool. It just didn’twork.”

The loss in revenue comesfrom refunds for swim pass-es and cancelled aquatic pro-grams at the pool, Adamssaid.

To get ready for summer,workers will drain and pow-er wash the pool to get outthe glass and other debristhat fell in during the col-lapse, Adams said.

Both Ceccolini andAdams said they expect thepool to be open at the begin-ning or middle of May.

“We have a lot of very ea-ger people who want to getback to work,” Adams said.

Adams added that on anaverage hot and humidweekend, 500 to 600 peopleuse the pool, from all overCheshire and nearby areas.

After finding out what in-surance will pay, the nextstep will be to determinewhat the Town Councilwants to do about replacingthe bubble. It will have to de-cide whether it wants to lookinto buying a new bubble,building a permanent struc-ture, or making it a summer-only pool with no covering.

Without the bubble, thepool is budgeted to cost

$734,646 for fiscal year 2013-14, down from about $944,987in last year’s budget. The re-quested amount is $934,122.The community pool budgetaccounts for salaries, equip-ment, heating, insurance,maintenance and variousother services.

Town Council ChairmanTim Slocum said he will rec-ommend that the council setup a committee to examinethe options for the pool, butthat because of time con-straints, it would be unlikelythat a replacement or per-manent structure would beready for the fall.

“We have a lot to wrestlewith here,” Slocum said. “Ijust can’t feel we should berushed into a decision. Wewere all very disappointedwith what happened withthe bubble the second timearound and I just can’t say itcouldn’t happen again.”

He added that he’d like tosee a year-round pool, but hewants “one that makessense.”

Health officials said theyreceived verbal confirmationfrom the state health lab thatthe water at an apartmentcomplex on Waterbury Roadis safe for drinking.

“Our staff called, there’sno bacteria, no contamina-tion,” said Cheshire PublicHealth Director Tom We-grzyn. “It indicates there’snothing we are going to doabout it, it’s not an issue ofconcern.”

The written report is ex-pected in a couple of weeks,he said, but the verbal confir-mation is enough for the de-partment to know that “noaction is needed.”

Chesprocott, the health de-partment for Cheshire, Wol-cott and Prescott, took thesamples from the well at 2160Waterbury Road after con-flicting tests about whetherthe water was safe came backfrom a private lab. The firsttest, taken in August last

year, showed the water to besafe, while a second test inthe same month showed highcoliform levels in the waterof one unit. Three subse-quent tests, two taken justlast month, showed the waterto be free of coliform and safefor consumption.

The timeline of safe andunsafe results was incorrectin a March 1 Record-Journalarticle. Wegrzyn was quotedas saying the most recent testhad come back unsafe whenin fact the last test at that

point, in September 2012, haddetermined the water to besafe.

All the privately testedsamples were taken fromtaps in two of the units. We-grzyn said his departmentjust wanted to be clear thatthere wasn’t contaminationat the source. The sample tak-en a week ago and sent to thestate lab was obtained fromthe pressure tank and sent tothe state Department of Pub-lic Health lab in Rocky Hill,as opposed to a private lab.

“We decided to get one

from the gold standard, that’s

the state,” Wegrzyn said. “We

An American flag wasflown at half-staff March 25at United Illuminating Com-pany in Orange, in memoryof Cheshire resident and UICworker Tabitha Vincent, whodied in a car crash March 24.

“She was always a happy-go-lucky person,” said herdaughter, Alyssa Allen, 15, afreshman at Cheshire HighSchool. “She was a beautiful,smiling person, a really goodperson. She cared about oth-ers a lot more than she cared

about herself.”The 35-year-old Vincent

was killed in a single-car ac-cident on Jinny Hill Roadnear Radmere Road inCheshire early Sunday morn-ing. The cause of the acci-dent, which occurred at 1:10a.m., is still under investiga-tion, police said.

Vincent, a runner, was in-volved with charities andwas particularly passionateabout the Crohn’s and ColitisFoundation of America. Shehad been preparing to run ina charity event for the organ-ization, Allen said.

“I’m hanging in there,”Allen added. “My friendshave been very supportive.All of them were very close tomy mom. My mom lovedthem all.”

Allen, who just finishedthe season as a member ofthe school’s swim team, isstaying with her grandpar-ents now and probably willuntil the school year ends inJune. She said she is waitingfor her father to fly in fromSweden, where he lives andworks, before services can bearranged.

At UIC, where Vincentworked as a compliance ana-lyst, workers from the Em-ployee Assistance Programhave been brought in to helppeople there cope with Vin-cent’s death.

“It’s very difficult for a lotof employees who workedwith her,” said UICspokesman Michael West,who said he knew Vincent.“The company is certainly af-fected by the loss of any life,and she was a very active em-ployee.”

Vincent had been with thecompany since 2010 and was“a well-liked employee,” Westsaid.

Vincent was a single moth-er who lived with her daugh-ter in an apartment on Man-sion Road. She was originallyfrom North Haven and gradu-ated from Sacred Heart Uni-versity in Fairfield.

By Eric Vo Special to The Citizen

If you talk to Ryan Tapp,you’d think he was like anyother healthy 25-year-old.He’s a student and he workstwo part-time jobs. It’s hard tosee that Tapp is a survivor ofa traumatic brain injury.

On Jan. 1, 2008, Tapp, whowas 20 at the time, decided todrive home after attending aNew Year’s Eve party. Intoxi-cated, Tapp drove the wrongway onto Interstate 84 and hittwo cars. The accident result-ed in three people sufferingminor injuries, while Tapphad life-threatening injuries.Barely breathing, he wasrushed to the hospital, wherehe was in a coma for threeweeks.

“The first thing the doctortold my parents was they did-n’t think I’d make it (past) afew hours,” said Tapp, aCheshire resident. “If I did,I’d need therapy for years.”

Today, Tapp travels to dif-ferent schools to talk to highschool and college studentsabout the dangers of drink-ing and driving. Because ofhis actions, he was sentencedto five years in prison, sus-pended after 18 months.

“I can’t imagine how thegirls felt when they saw myheadlights going straight to-ward them,” Tapp said. “Ican’t remember any of that,but I’m sure they remembermost of it. I’m just glad I washurt the most.”

Despite a grim prognosis,Tapp surprised his doctorswith his recovery. He spent amonth as a patient at GaylordHospital, where he wentthrough exhaustive therapyto relearn basic motor skills,such as moving his arms andfingers, holding his head upand even tying his own shoes.

But when he first woke upfrom a coma, he had difficul-ty focusing, which made theprocess of teaching him ba-sic everyday skills very diffi-cult, said Marcia Boi, an oc-cupational therapist at Gay-lord Hospital who workedwith Tapp. Once Tapp be-

came more aware of his sur-roundings and was able tostand and walk on his own,the staff decided to challengehim more, Boi said.

“His friends would visithim and we’d have them par-ticipate in the activities. Sowe’d have them kick a ballback and forth, things likethat,” she said. “He was veryathletic beforehand, so wewanted to use that” in his re-habilitation.

Tapp’s progress wasrecorded by his physical ther-apist, who also teaches parttime. The videos were usedfor educational purposes and

for Tapp to see how he wasprogressing. Watching thevideos after he recovered,Tapp said he can’t help butsmile.

“I smile when I see them.To picture myself like that ...I know the outcome, it makesme happy,” he said. “It’sweird to think I was ever inthat type of condition.”

After learning how tomove on his own again, hespent nine months in outpa-tient therapy — working onhis cognitive abilities.

“We worked on processinginformation, stuff that getsyou through your life or get-ting through a normal day,”Tapp said.

While in prison, Tappstarted to read a lot, some-thing traumatic brain injury

patients can have trouble do-ing because of problems withtheir short-term memory.

“I memorized a good 50scriptures from the Bible,” hesaid. “From my memory, ittook a lot to do that.”

Despite spending a monthat the hospital learning howto move again and strength-ening various muscles, Tappsaid he doesn’t remember anyof it. “Everything from beforethe accident, except one ortwo weeks before the acci-dent” is still there and he stillremembers his time as anoutpatient, he said.

Speaker Rebecca Augur, ofMeriden, said she lives on lessthan a quarter-acre of less-than-perfect land. She gaveadvice on a variety of topics:planning space, the needs ofvarious plants, amendingsoil, plant maintenance, fallclean-up and pruning.

“I hate pruning, but it’s re-ally important,” Augur said.An organic gardener, sheprefers natural fertilizers.Auger also offered tips onpest deterrents, such as put-ting blueberry bushes undernetting to keep the birdsaway.

rector of Gaylord Hospital’sinpatient rehabilitation divi-sion. Sicklick said that, de-pending on how severe thebrain injury is, a patient mayexperience “retrograde am-nesia or anterograde amne-sia.” Retrograde amnesiameans a patient cannot recallmemories from before the ac-cident; anterograde amnesiameans the patient cannot re-member events after the acci-dent.

As he worked with hisphysical therapist at the hos-pital, Tapp said doctors weresurprised at how quickly hewas progressing — some-thing he credits to beinglargely motivated.

“When I was in rehab, all Icould think about was mycommanders and my majorfrom the Marine Corps Re-serve, who would visit a lot,”he said. “I would just (work)hard because I wanted to beback in the Marines.”

Tapp, who was scheduledto be deployed to Iraq beforehis accident, wanted to makea career in the service. But hewas ultimately medically dis-charged because of the riskinvolved. The same riskswould prevent him from pur-suing a career as a police offi-cer.

“The injury is just too se-vere,” Tapp said. “One hit onmy head can send me backinto a coma or worse, dead.”

While a person never fullyrecovers from a traumaticbrain injury, Tapp continuesto challenge himself as muchas he can. Despite not havingas good a memory as he usedto, he recently received his as-sociate degree and hopes tobecome a surgical technician.He doesn’t receive any type ofrehabilitation anymore, buthe continues to lift weights.Whenever he can, he talks toothers about his accident toeducate them about drinkingand driving.

“If I can stop one personfrom making the same mis-take I did, then it’s well worthit,” Tapp said. “That’s why Italk to schools.”

CitizenSportsThe Cheshire CitizenFriday, April 4, 2013

By Jim BransfieldSpecial to The Citizen

Spring Training doesn’tcount. The scores of thegames mean nothing, theperformances of playersmean nothing, the teams’records mean nothing.

But it’s wonderful.That’s because the fans get

to see players up close andpersonal, the stadiums aresmall and intimate and it’sno bulletin that Floridaweather in March beats Con-necticut’s March weather injust about every way imagi-nable. So in asnow/sleet/freezing rainstorm on March 19, I set out— along with a good friendwho is as much of a nut-caseYankee fan as I am — on atrip to the Sunshine Stateand Spring Training.

I travel Amtrak. I get asleeper. It’s the only way tofly.

Boarded a connectingtrain in Berlin, we did, thenboarded the Silver Star toFlorida. The train pulled outof Penn Station in New Yorkon time at precisely 11:02a.m. We settled in our room,which was small, but a mi-nor marvel in space utiliza-tion. There are two seats fac-ing each other, a sink thatfolds down from the wallwith hot and cold water —and ice water to drink — anda toilet that is covered andlooks like a chair.

A table pulls out from thewall under the windows andsome of the views on thejourney are pretty cool. Theskylines of Newark,Philadelphia and Baltimoreare all in view. The bridgesover rivers such as theSusquehanna and the Jamesare high and spectacular.The views of Chesapeakeand Delaware Bays are pret-ty cool.

The meals are includedand sitting in the dining carordering off a menu — thefood is surprisingly good —at 80 to 100 MPH is, well, fun.

At night, the sleeping car

attendant makes up the beds.The two facing seats fold intoa lower berth and the upperberth comes down from theceiling. Tight? Yes. Whilethese are a tad more narrowthan a queen bed, it’s cool tosleep as the train rocks androlls its way south.

There is a shower in eachsleeper car. It’s an interest-ing feat to shower as thetrain rocks you from side toside. But never fear, theshower is about three feetacross and you’re fully en-closed, so no chance you’llfall on the floor.

My buddy — Lou Milardo,the retired winningest soft-ball coach in Connecticuthistory at Hale-Ray High inEast Haddam — is not atrain guy. But he knows thatflying terrifies me — spareme the lecture, I know it’sthe safest means of travel. Ihate it. So he agreed to takethe train.

Lou has this dry sense ofhumor. He called the trainride like going camping. Hehates camping. He also saidthat riding in the lower bunkwith the upper bunk just acouple feet above his headwas like an overnight MRI.But he persevered. Heroic ofhim.

The baseball was fun.We saw the Yankees host

the Minnesota Twins atSteinbrenner Field in Tam-pa. The place was sold out asare all Yankee traininggames. The park is largerthan most spring trainingvenues, but small enough sothat there’s a spring trainingfeel to the place.

The game was unremark-able except for one thing:Mariano Rivera pitched aninning. The ageless one camein for his inning of work inthe fifth. The PA blared histrademark song, “EnterSandman.” He gave up abase hit, then proceeded tostrike out the side. TheGreatest Closer Of All Timewas cheered wildly. After hisinning, a lot of folks wenthome.

The next day we took inthe Braves at the Phillies atBright House Field in Clear-water. It was a glorious Flori-da day — sunny, 77 degrees.This place was also sold out.It’s a very different lookingpark than SteinbrennerField. One deck from foulpole to foul pole. A bar androws of bar seating in leftfield. There is what thePhillies call berm seating onthe grassy hill that sweepsfrom beyond the bullpen inleft-center — fans can leanover the railing and practi-cally touch the players in thebullpen — to the right fieldfoul pole.

We had berm “seats.” Gotsome sun. Both teams start-ed many of their regulars, soit wasn’t a day in which weneeded a scorecard. TheBraves are going to be good,by the way.

Day three was a journey toLakeland to see the Tigershost the Yankees. Both clubsbrought some regulars. AndyPettitte pitched six and thirdfor the Yanks, Kevin Youkilishad a home run taken awayby a leaping catch at thefence by Torii Hunter, andthe old park was jammed.

When the Yankees go onthe road, tickets are hard tocome by. There were scalpersall over the place. We hadberm seats. We traded up.Hey, for $15 extra bucks, wehad chairs upon which topark ourselves. A familyfrom Michigan sat in front ofus. Turns out Lou overheardthem talking softball. Thetwo teenage girls play soft-ball. Lou talked the parents’ears off. Good day. Got to to83 that day. Nice.

We then spent four nightsin Orlando and caught theMutts ... err, Mets ... play theBraves at Champions Fieldat Wide World of Sports inWalt Disney World. Niceststadium of the bunch. Dis-ney does everything firstclass. The stadium holds

10,000 and yeah, like the oth-ers, it was full. We had greatseats in the second deckright near the plate on thefirst base side.

It was cooler — 70 — butwall-to-wall sunshine. B.J.Upton, late of the Tampa BayRays, hit a home run for theBraves that traveled halfwayto Fantasyland. We were ser-enaded by a four-man outfitcalled the Atlanta BravesSymphonic Saxophone Band.The Anthem was sung by apro, someone whose name Iforgot who works for DisneyWorld.

Specialty beers were $10.Made me think I was at Yan-kee Stadium. But when Isaw the sign that said if youbring the cup back, refillsare $5, I knew I wasn’t in daBronx. Half-priced refills areabout as likely as ARod be-coming a beloved Yankee.

The Mets won and DillonGee pitched a terrific game.But it meant nothing, I know.After the game, the Bravesstarting pitcher was on theconcourse visiting a conces-sion stand. Like that would

ever happen at a real game.We left before the ninth in-

ning of every game. You cando that in spring training. Inever do that at a real game.Well, I did once when theYankees were losing 22-1 tothe Cleveland Indians onenight, but that doesn’t count.

Best hot dog deal? A footlong dog at SteinbrennerField for $5.50. Best tastingdog wasn’t at a ballpark. Itwas at a dog track and waslathered with peppers andonions. $2.75. A steal.

See, Florida has dogtracks. I like the dogs. I neverwin, but we went to DerbyLane in St. Pete and to atrack just north of Orlandoin Longwood, a joint calledthe Sanford-Orlando KennelClub. I did my bit for theeconomy by losing $20 ineach place. Lou won in bothplaces. That’s just the way itis.

I tried everything. I stud-ied the racing form. I mightas well have read the comics.

I bet my family’s birth-days. Didn’t work.

I closed my eyes andstabbed the program withmy pen. Those dogs are stillrunning.

We ate well. Raglan Road

Two great sportsbars/restaurants in Orlando— the Miller Ale House andthe Brick House — are top ofthe line joints. The folks atthe Brick House worked longand hard to get the basket-ball game on the TV that wewanted. They earned a goodtip.

But the baseball is thething and you know, in thisyear where the potential ex-ists for the Yankees and theRed Sox to be dreadful (al-though I think both will bebetter than people think) Ihave come to realize that thegame’s the thing.

YOUR RIGHT TO KNOW FROM THE NEWSPAPER.

Visit www.ctdailynews.com to contact your legislator today

Pending legislation may remove your right to readpublic notices in newspapers, moving them from thepublic domain to government controlled web sites.We’re concerned. And you should be, too.

Public notices are an important tool in assuring aninformed citizenry. They have helped developAmerica into a participatory democracy for hundredsof years and where it counts the most: how your taxdollars are spent, how policy is made and how ourfutures are charted.

They are located in easy-to-find sections of yournewspaper. And they are fully accessible to everyone- unlike the internet, which is not accessible toeveryone.

Less than 10% of the U.S. population views a local,state or federal government website daily, accordingto the May 2009 release of U.S. Census Bureau,Annual Estimates of Resident Population.

This means more than nine out of ten people maynever see a given notice.

This compares dramatically to the fact that 83% ofadults read a community newspaper every week,according to the National Newspaper Association.

Furthermore, a public notice printed in thenewspaper produces a permanent record. The internetdoes not, nor does it assure timeliness. And anewspaper is archived for years; not subject tocomputer crashes and hackers.

Newspapers are easily verifiable, fully transparentand represent a secure third party who has nothing togain from any notice.

Connecticut’s recent ethical lapses shed a glaringlight on the full meaning of this problem. It’s likeputting the fox in charge of the hen house.

Every public notice, which runs in a Connecticutdaily newspaper, is automatically uploaded to thatnewspaper’s web site and CTPublicNotices.org.

Newspapers are your watchdogs. Don’t let thatrole be changed now. Voice your opinion.

To keep your notices in the newspaper, contactyour local legislator to oppose Senate Bill #1112 - AnAct Concerning the Publication of Legal Notices byMunicipalities.
