What do these items havein common: rolling pins,Christmas decorations, but-tons, milk?

How about these: wireguide assemblies, enameledartwork and bedding plants.

Get the connection or doyou give up?

These items have all beenmade, manufactured, or oth-erwise built and/or sold bybusinesses in Cheshire.

Who knew? For one, Ron Gagliardi -

and possibly Sheldon Dill. Granted, Dill - now in his

seventh year as president ofthe Cheshire Chamber ofCommerce - knows a lot aboutbusinesses in Cheshire. How-ever, when it comes to thetrue, nitty-gritty history ofbusiness in Cheshire, Dill de-fers to Gagliardi - and for

good reason. A long-time resident and

retired elementary art schoolteacher, Gagliardi is a historybuff. “I love history,” he’ll bethe first to tell you. A pub-lished author, one of hisbooks happens to be a historyof Cheshire, which was pub-lished by Arcadia Publishingin 2001.

Also, Gagliardi is fanaticalabout Cheshire. An energeticvolunteer at a multitude oftown agencies and non-prof-its, including the Chamber,he’s even gone as far as towrite a song about the town.

Possibly even more impor-tantly, Gagliardi is also (he issomewhat reluctant to admit)one who “collects things.”Luckily for the Chamber ofCommerce, Gagliardi’s col-lection of Cheshire items isextensive, including items at-

The Cheshire High School Latin Club held afundraiser at Everybody’s Supermarket recently.Members sold cupcakes, pumpkin bread, browniesand cookies, and made more than $300 from theirfirst fundraiser of the year. Club advisor is VirginiaSwan (not pictured). Club members, from left, are:Landon Bassett, Jon Rasimas, Henry Liu, AndrewLevy, Ariana Harris, Lauren Carbone, Brenna Reachand Veronica Schaefer.

“The business communityin Cheshire is relativelysmall,” Dill said. “But there’sa rich history.”

Gagliardi said that if therewas a list of the first busi-nesses in Cheshire, it wouldbe safe to safe to say it wouldname a hunter and then afarmer.

Currently, there are about15,000 people who are em-ployed in Cheshire, Dill said,adding that there are approxi-mately 1,000 businesses intown, including those whohave home-based businesses.

The display is a pertinentsnapshot of the businesscommunity with enough

more.The old-time postcards on-

hand of The Waverly, prompt-ed Gagliardi to talk aboutJohn F. Kennedy and his fam-ily dining there, as well asother names who dropped byThe Waverly, includingKatherine Hepburn and FessParker.

“See?” Dill exclaimed as helooked at Gagliardi. “Serious-ly - who knows all this stuff !”

On the walls of the foyerand throughout the Chamberoffices are prints fromCheshire artists, such asTony Ruggierio, and portraitsof some of the movers andshakers, the tycoons of theday from Cheshire’s earlyyears.

tached to the town’s businesshistory.

Dill and Gagliardi go backa number of years. So whenGagliardi brought up the ideaof putting a collection togeth-er to reference business histo-ry in Cheshire, Dill was all forit.

“Ron is an institution,” Dillsaid. “He has a tremendousamount of enthusiasm forthis community; he’s done alot of good things.”

Thus the Chamber ofCommerce Business Muse-um was born. An importantitem that helped launch theidea and house the collectionwas a display case Gagliardihad in his possession; onefrom the old Cheshire Cine-ma that perhaps was used forcandy sales.

“Ron basically set it uphimself,” said Dill referringto the small annex where the“museum” lives. Gagliardicalls it the MONAT, the mu-seum of now and then.

The case sits in the foyer ofthe Chamber of Commerceand has been filled withCheshire business memora-bilia. It includes a containerof Ball and Socket Co. but-tons, Pez dispensers fromBarker Character, Comic andCartoon Museum; Schofieldpostcards, vintage businessletters from the 1800s, and

However, Gagliardi isn’tfinished. He aims to fill theChamber offices with evenmore business memorabilia.


His next move? It’s to createwhat he calls a “Biz Blitz.”

“My goal,” said Gagliardi,“is to have as many Cheshirebusinesses as possible submita business card, possibly anenvelope or stationery or penor pencil from their companyand have a record of as manyof the companies we can thatare current.”

Gagliardi also would like toimprove his “snapshot ofCheshire businesses,” by con-tinuing to seek out informa-tion from the early years; ac-

quiring news, articles, adsand business paraphernalia,and other items from busi-nesses going back as far as hecan.

Those who have somethingfrom a past or a currentCheshire business are en-couraged to call the Chamberof Commerce offices or RonGagliardi at (203) 272-0701.

After last year’s storms town ups emergency readinessBy Andrew Ragali


The town has taken emer-gency preparedness to thenext level, learning from lastyear’s Tropical Storm Ireneand the October snowstorm,which caused power outagesacross the state.

While Town Council Chair-man Tim Slocum feels “weended up doing a fairly decentjob” on response, “we real-ized we were tested.”

The Cheshire Emergency

Management Team, coordi-nated by Fire Chief Jack Cas-ner, used last year’s real-lifetest as a guide to shore upemergency response.

“We’ve walked the walk,”said Casner, who has led theteam since it was createdabout five years ago. “Therewere some weaknesses.”

One shortcoming: thetown’s portable gas-poweredgenerators weren’t compati-ble with many town build-ings.

Casner said last year, whentrying to restore power atTown Hall after the Octoberstorm, crews had to rewire anoutlet so the generator wouldwork. Over the past year, thetown has used part of $160,000in Town Council-approvedfunding to rewire buildings tomake them compatible withthe generators.

“We can be up and runningin ten to fifteen minutes,”Casner said.

Cheshire High School willsoon be equipped with a per-manent natural gas genera-tor. The Cheshire Youth Cen-

ter, 559 S. Main St., is thetown’s primary shelter andcan house up to 50 people. Af-ter that limit is reached, resi-dents are sent to the highschool.

The high school’s perma-nent generator will serve ar-eas that didn’t have power lastyear. Vincent Masciana, di-rector of management servic-es for the school system, saidthe high school didn’t havepower to bathrooms or com-puter data closets. With powerto data closets, wireless Inter-net would be available, keep-ing the lines of communica-

tion open for residents andemergency officials.

Because the generator ishooked into natural gas linesat the school, “we don’t haveto worry about refueling it,”Masciana said.

A new storage area hasbeen established at the highschool, including cots, MREs(meals ready to eat) and wa-

ter.“I think we are much better

prepared,” Masciana said.Another permanent gener-

ator will be installed at High-land School. Masciana saidHighland was chosen be-cause it has the town’slargest freezer.

Local physical therapist knowskeys to wellness


Kirsten Albrecht, a physi-cal therapist and owner ofPhysical Therapy and PilatesRestoration, on Highland Av-enue, has seen it all. TheCheshire resident worked inacute care at Yale-New Havenhospital and at a physicaltherapy office in New Britainfor more than a decade. Forthe past nine years, she’s op-erated her own business - 16years experience in total.

Albrecht’s pairing of phys-ical therapy and wellness hasbeen successful; both for herpatients and for her business.In addition to being a PT, she

is a certified Pilates instruc-tor, teaching classes at her fa-cility as well as for groups,such as ESPN at its off-sitewellness center.

“We treat anything ortho-pedic in nature which meansany problem that involvesone of our joints or musclesor ligaments and tendonsaround the joints,” Albrechtsaid, adding that “Because ofthe Pilates pieces we do tendto specialize in spine cases.”

In the wellness area of thefacility are six large pieces ofPilates equipment designedto assist movement, when ex-ercising, and to keep the bodyin alignment. There is addi-tional space for a Pilates matclasses and “prop-work” withrollers, rings and balls. The

physical therapy room withits specialized equipment ishoused in a separate area.

“I think we’re most attrac-tive to people who have somemedical conditions or ortho-pedic problems, Albrechtsaid. “People know thatwe’re physical therapy-based first.”

It’s not unusual for Al-brecht’s physical therapypatients to transition into anexercise class on the well-ness side of the business,but there’s a good number ofpeople “who just like tocome for the wellness aspectof exercise,” she said.

Sewage plant’s filter passing test on phosphorus levels

By Andrew Ragali The Cheshire Citizen

The wastewater treatmentplant has been testing a discfiltration method to reducephosphorus in water re-leased into the QuinnipiacRiver and is finding the morecost-effective option to beworking.

Cheshire is among townsthat need to reduce their wa-ter phosphorus level under aDepartment of Energy andEnvironmental Protectiondirective, and has been test-ing the disc method sinceSept. 27. Town officials inMeriden, Wallingford andSouthington are watchingthe Cheshire tests becauseall three municipalities havecomplained that complyingwith new state requirementsfor phosphorus is too costly.

When released at high lev-els into water, phosphorusleads to increased algaegrowth, which can potential-ly harm wildlife. The DEEPsays the town needs to lowerits phosphorus levels from0.7 milligrams per liter to 0.2milligrams per liter. So far,tests performed by KrugerInc., a water treatment com-pany from North Carolina,have been more successful

Student absences increasedafter threat at CHS

By Eric Heredia Special to The Citizen

Principal Jeff Solan saidthere were 190 absences Tues-day, Oct. 2, at Cheshire HighSchool after he requested alarger police presence in re-sponse to writing in a boys’bathroom stall.

He said that at this time ofyear, the school usually hasabout 40 absences a day.

Solan sent an email to par-ents Monday, Oct. 1, about thewriting, which read “peoplewill die on/in school on Octo-ber 2nd according to theMayans.” Rumors had circu-lated among students aboutsomeone bringing a gun toschool and he urged parentsand students to come forwardwith information about whowrote it. He said the school is

still investigating but hasn’tdetermined who wrote themessage in the lavatory.

He said he doesn’t regretthe way he handled the situa-tion.

“I discussed the situationwith law enforcement and su-perintendent, evaluated thethreat based on informationwe had and we worked to pro-vide a safe environment,”Solan said. “I respect parentsfor doing what they feel isbest for their children.”

In a follow-up email hethanked parents for their un-derstanding, support and pa-tience.

“With each passing hour Ifeel more comfortable thatwe are returning to normal-cy and that our environmentis secure,” Solan wrote. “If Idid not feel comfortable withstudents attending school wewould have adjusted theschedule accordingly. I be-lieve that it is safe for all stu-dents and staff to be atCheshire High School.”

He said continued policepresence was planned forother school events, such asthe National Honor Societyinduction, also on the sched-ule for Oct. 2.

School events proceeded and all is secure, Solan says

dren, who want to enjoy theHalloween season in mildersurroundings, Temple Lodge#16 hold a Halloween Pan-cake Breakfast Oct. 14 from7:30 a.m. to noon. Childrenare encouraged to wear cos-tumes. Frankenstein andDracula characters will bepart of the fun.

There is an admission tothe all-you-can-eat breakfastfor adults. Children 5-years-old or younger eat breakfastfor free.

and scarier than last year, ac-cording to MatthewJalowiec, executive directorof the event for the Masons.The masterminds of may-hem have devised all types ofnew ways to scare with a castof mad doctors, lunatics andderanged patients. (All forthe goal of helping communi-ty causes.)

New this year is the eleva-tor to Hades and it’s built forscreams. Jalowiec said itwill take visitors down to thedepths of the catacombs, “tothe more terrifying realms ofthe hospital.”

Co-chair MatthewSchmidt coordinates theevent. “We run about 16 ac-tors per shift,” he said.That’s at least four dozenghouls at any given time.

“The kids are great,” hesaid of student volunteers.“There are some people fromthe high school from commu-nity service. High schoolkids are talkin’ it up and vol-unteering their time,”Schmidt said. “These kidsare what make it so good.They get their friends inthere. They had a blast lastyear. Hopefully, we’ll get thesame kind of reaction thisyear.”

Schmidt also praised workdone by Cheshire Communi-ty theatre. “They’ve been ab-solutely great; not only as ac-tors, but helping us to buildthe sets as well.”

It takes almost a month toget the production under-way. Two weeks in Octoberare spent just building.Schmidt said organizers tryto allow time so actors have achance to go through re-hearsals. “Once the fog ma-chines get rolling, it getshard to see,” Schmidt said.

“We’ll fog it up pretty good… colored lights andstrobes,” he said. “We’llprobably have a little bit ofscreams… and creakingnoises — like every hauntedhouse has … plus, there’s go-ing to be a big surprise.”

Hours are from 6:30 to mid-night, Oct. 26, 27 and 28. Thehaunted house is recommend-ed for those 13-years of ageand older. There is an admis-sion fee at the door.

Families with young chil-

“During the last emer-gency, we lost all our food atthe schools,” Masciana said.“If roads are open, we cannow save those items.”

He said trucks could takefood from other schools toHighland’s freezer. Mascianacalled the spoiling of foodduring the October storm Al-bert “one of the largest loss-es,” about a few thousand

dollars.The town will invite bids

on the generators soon, afterthe Town Council decides oncapital projects.

Over the last year, Casnersaid, the emergency responseteam has also worked onstructure and putting togeth-er a more established group.The team has members fromalmost every town depart-ment.

Casner urges residentswho are not enrolled in

CodeRed, the town’s emer-gency notification system, todo so as soon as possible.

“During last year’s storms,we used it on a daily basis,” hesaid.

Residents can register asmany phone numbers as theywant by going to the town’swebsite, www.cheshirect.org.

“We’re in far better shapethan we were last year,” Cas-ner said. “We haven’t identi-fied any huge weaknesses.For what we’re investing, weare in excellent shape.”

many gallons per minute thefilter processes.

“This is only 30 gallons aminute,” said Tony Cook, anengineer and project manag-er from Kruger. “Dennis istypically flowing 1,500 to2,000 gallons per minute atthe treatment plant.”

Water filtration testinghas been performed at differ-ent flow rates, between 30and 50 gallons per minute.Dievert is impressed with thenumbers the filter is achiev-ing. He said phosphorus lev-els are as low as 0.05 mil-ligrams per liter after exitingthe filtration system — farbelow state-required levels.

The Cheshire Citizen — Thursday, October 11, 2012 16grade of the town’s treat-ment plant. Dievert said thesystem’s price tag is “half ofsome of the other more so-phisticated systems” usedfor phosphorus filtration.

Meriden, Southington andWallingford are part of acoalition of municipalitiesopposing new phosphoruslimits, upset with the new di-rectives that will cost mil-lions of dollars in waste-water treatment plant up-grades. The group has beennegotiating with the DEEPin an effort to get the agencyto ease its requirements. Of-ficials were happy Friday tohear about the success of thetests in Cheshire.

“We like it; it’s a good ideaand it’s very helpful,”Southington Town ManagerGarry Brumback said. Thetown is currently perform-ing an analysis of its water

treatment facility, “explor-ing every feasible option” toreduce phosphorus levels ina cost-effective way.

“If Cheshire has some-thing that works successful-ly, we’ll definitely look atthat as an option,” Brum-back said.

Wallingford MayorWilliam W. Dickinson Jr.called the test results “goodnews.”

Dickinson hadn’t heard ofthe disc filter method, andhasn’t had an opportunity tolook into what’s achievablefinancially for Wallingford.He is still waiting for clarifi-cation from DEEP, as are theother members of the coali-tion, on expected improve-ment in water quality thatwould be achieved as a resultof significant reductions inphosphorus discharge. Sci-entific clarification won’t beavailable until further test-ing of the Quinnipiac River,and the coalition will consid-

er its option when that infor-mation comes.

Officials familiar with thephosphorus issue in Meri-den were unavailable forcomment Oct. 5.

Cook, who has performedsimilar tests all over thecountry, said that “everyplant is unique and has dif-ferent water characteris-tics,” and the success of thefiltration process inCheshire was difficult to pre-dict before testing began.

The system works in atwo-part process. A chemicalis added when the water firstenters the plant, which helpsreduce initial phosphoruslevels. Before water flowsthrough the disc filter, chem-ical coagulants are addedthat bind phosphorus mole-cules into larger particles.The particles are then fil-tered through tiny, 10-micronpores. The water exits the fil-ter at almost the same clarityas drinking water.

Testing will officially beover on Thursday, afterwhich results will be present-ed to the Water PollutionControl Authority inCheshire. If levels are to theliking of members of theWPAC, as Dievert expectsthey will be, the town will goahead with its plan of in-stalling an array of muchlarger filters at the plant tohandle the town’s flow.

But before anything is per-manently installed, the $31.3million wastewater treat-ment plant upgrade mustfirst be approved in a referen-dum in November.

Parents ‘in motion’ as they planSaturday’s band event


Parents are amazingwhen it comes to doing fortheir kids - they could becalled heroes. In that case,band parents in CheshireHigh School’s Band Parents’Association surely are su-perheroes.

That’s especially true atthis time of year — as theyready for the 29th annualMusic in Motion event,scheduled for Oct. 13 atCheshire High School.

This group of parents andvolunteers are the “heavy-lifters.” They get thingsdone - and there’s lots to do.

At one of the last organi-zational meetings before thebig day, BPA vice-presidentDeborah Aguiar worked herway through a long “to-do”list, organizing volunteers,band moms and dads, as wellas alumni parents, in orderto tie up loose ends and en-sure the success of thisyear’s event.

Parents are responsiblefor Music in Motion fromtop-to-bottom: set-up to tear-down; clean-up and every-thing in between. A fractionof the detail work might betraffic control, tending tothe judges, food prep, cook-ing and serving, coordinat-ing kids and bands from 19different schools, searchingout tons of ice throughoutthe day, marking sprinklerheads ahead of time so bus-es don’t park on them andbreak them, security for theevent, and keeping perform-ances on schedule.

It helps that there are par-ents who have done this be-fore — like Jackie Sima, analumni parent, and 2010-2011Music in Motion chair,whose five kids were in theprogram.

“You’re doing great!”Sima told the group. “This isa big fundraiser for us,” shereminded them, “And you’redoing everything right and

Currently, “the family” in-cludes 77 members in themarching band, according toKathleen Crooker, parent

Crooker pointed out thatthe event also has developeddevotees of the food avail-able at the event. Volunteerscook and serve the now fa-mous “walking tacos,” frieddough, grilled steak sand-wiches and assorted treats.

Era of Irish famine at the heart of new museumBy Andrew Ragali


Ireland’s Great HungerMuseum, 3011 Whitney Ave.,Hamden, near QuinnipiacUniversity, will open to thepublic today, Oct. 11.

“This doesn’t even exist inIreland,” said John Lahey,speaking about the wealth ofhistoric material found at themuseum. “There’s nothingclose there to a museum thequality of this place.”

Lahey who is president ofQuinnipiac University and aCheshire resident of 25years, takes pride in tellingthe often forgotten story ofthe Irish potato famine. Healso possesses detailedknowledge of the museum’sartwork which depicts the po-tato famine, now betterknown as the Great Hunger,which took place between1845 and 1852.

Lahey said those of Irishheritage often see the years ofthe famine as a black eye; aperiod to feel ashamed of and

therefore not a time to ex-plore. Many Irish “internal-ized the British narrative,like someone who was violat-ed,” he said, likening theirfeelings to that of a rape vic-tim who doesn’t come for-

ward “because they feel theycould have done more to pre-vent it.”

Although of Irish heritagehimself — a second-genera-tion Irish-American whogrew up in the historically

Irish Riverdale section of theBronx — Lahey wasn’t al-ways well-educated on thehistory of the era. Then, in1996, he read a novel by Irishwriter Christine Kinealycalled “This Great Calamity”and had an “intellectualawakening.”

“We knew (the era) had adark overtone to it,” Laheysaid. What he didn’t knowwas that, at the time of thefamine, the British govern-ment had resources to aid theIrish during their time ofstruggle, but instead, it toldthe Irish the suffering was“your punishment for beinglazy.”

The British governmentdidn’t take partial responsi-bility for the famine until1997, the 150th anniversary of1847, known as Black ’47 —the deadliest year of thefamine. “Even in 1947, the

100th anniversary of thefamine, nothing was reallydone in Ireland,” Lahey said.

About 15 years ago, eventsconverged that led to achance to tell this forgottenstory and eventually the cre-ation of the museum.

In 1997, Lahey was appoint-ed grand marshal of NewYork City’s St. Patrick’s DayParade and consequently wasinvited to several events host-ed by Irish organizations inthe city. Also at this time,bagel magnate MurrayLender, then a trustee atQuinnipiac, (he died earlierthis year) wanted the famineremembered the same way asthe Holocaust is. The son of aJewish immigrant fromPoland, Lender grew up inNew Haven and had manyIrish friends.

“He very much knew theimmigrant experience,” La-hey said. “He found thefamine story to be importantand under-told.”

After the parade, Lendertold Lahey he wanted to helpcreate a room in the Quinnip-iac library dedicated to thetopic. In 2000, the LenderFamily Special CollectionRoom opened; filled with art,educational and research ma-terials. The Lender familycontinued to contribute art-work until recently and thecollection became so large itcouldn’t be fully displayed.Lender and Lahey talkedabout getting a building ac-cessible to the public to show-case the art. After buying a4,750 square-foot building,formerly a library, to housethe art and archives, the uni-

John Lahey, a Cheshire resident and president of Quinnipiac University, discuss-es a painting on display at the newly opened Great Hunger Museum.

versity became home to theonly museum in the worlddedicated to Irish art depict-ing the Great Hunger.

To help tell the story of thefamine, Lahey recruited Ni-amh O’Sullivan, professoremeritus of visual culturewith the National College ofArt and Design in Dublin, tobe curator. She specializes inthe social history of art, andpoints out the strong narra-tive strain of the GreatHunger story.

O’Sullivan said. “Thereare 40 million descendents ofthe Irish in America today.We’re tracing back how thathappened.” While it’s esti-mated that more than a mil-lion people died during theGreat Hunger, scholars be-lieve about two million leftIreland for America in thoseyears. The population of Ire-land was reduced by half.

Located between largeIrish-American populationsin New York City and Boston,and with 10 to 20 percent ofstudents at the school ofIrish heritage, having themuseum makes perfect sense

for the school, Lahey said.“The museum will be

quickly world-renowned ashaving the most exclusivecollection of artworks andartifacts that tell the story ofthe Great Hunger,” said for-mer state Sen. ThomasGaffey, a Meriden residentwho in the late 1990s helpedpass a bill that introduced theGreat Hunger into the publicschool curriculum.

Gaffey called the faminethe “worst non-militarytragedy of the 19th century,”and a “largely untold story.”

“The events and conse-quences that emanated wereabsolutely attributed to the

IrishContinued from page 20

laissez-faire attitude of theBritish government,” Gaffeysaid. “You literally had peo-ple dying on the ground,skeletons of themselves, withgreen around their mouthsfrom trying to eat grass. Thiswas really genocide.”

“The Irish experience cap-tured at this museum is verymuch an experience almosteveryone in America canidentify with,” said Lahey.

Starting Oct. 11, the muse-um will be open to the publicWednesdays 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.;Thursdays 10 a.m. to 7 p.m.;Fridays and Saturdays 10a.m. to 5 p.m.; and Sundays 1to 5 p.m.

By Andrew RagaliSpecial to The Citizen

The Board of Educa-tion’s agenda was dramati-cally altered Oct. 4 by anunusually large audience,about 40 people, who at-tended the meeting to sup-port changing rugby’s sta-tus from an activity offeredby the town’s Parks andRecreation Department toa club sport at CheshireHigh School.

Bill Bishop, director ofthe Cheshire Rugby Club,established in 2005, spokeon behalf of the group. Ini-tially, the board planned tohold an open forum onplanning, curriculum, pol-icy and finance, but theoverwhelming majority ofpeople at the meeting at-tended specifically to sup-port the rugby club. Theaudience included highschool-age rugby players,male and female, alongwith parents and coachesof both the boys and girlsrugby teams for the club.

Bishop said the rugbysupporters weren’t askingfor money. “We actuallythink we can generate rev-enue,” he said. Bishop toldthe board that 400 boyshave passed through theprogram since 2005. Thegirls team was started lastyear with 30 members andwon the state title. He saidrugby is one of the most-watched sports in theworld, and its values of re-spect, sportsmanship, dis-cipline and inclusion“make it special.”

“We don’t cut kids,” hesaid. “There is a place foreverybody.”

In the last seven years,Bishop said, the club hasgenerated revenuethrough sponsorships anddues, $2,500 of which wentto funding the turf field atthe high school.

Kate Phillips, presidentof the club’s parents asso-ciation, speaking in favorof high school rugby, saidthe sport offers somethingdifferent that won’t com-pete with current varsitysports.

“We take these kids at 13or 14, all beginners, allmaking mistakes, andeverybody gets the chanceto learn together,” Phillipssaid.

Sean McKeown, ateacher at CHS, is thecoach of the boys team.Ally Valenti coaches thegirls. McKeown said all thetowns to which Cheshire iscompared have varsityrugby teams at their highschools.

School SuperintendentGreg Florio addressed thegroup, citing his concernsabout making the rugbyclub part of the highschool.

“It’s not just that youcan be self-sufficient now,”Florio said. “If it’s a club,it has to be self-sufficientforever.”

The board has placed amoratorium on the addi-tion of new high schoolclubs that will add to theeducation budget. Theboard asked about insur-ance costs and raised lia-bility concerns. Florioasked Bishop for more in-formation so he could re-search the issue.

“At no cost, I have noproblem,” Florio said.

Phillips said the clubwould like to come to thehigh school because “we’recoming up against teamsthat are high school level,and it’s getting hard tocompete.”

After the meeting, Bish-op said the board’s reac-tion was fair.

By Paul RosanoThe Cheshire Citizen

Cheshire seemed to havethe jitters early in its gamewith Notre Dame-West HavenFriday night.

The Rams fumbled awaywhat would have been theirfirst possession on a muffedpunt return. And four timesin the first half the Rams hadthe ball at the Notre Dame 28or deeper, including twice atthe ND 4, but couldn’t cashin.

Things changed dramati-cally in the second half as anenergized Cheshire squadscored 35 unanswered pointsto pull away for a 48-13 SCCDivision I-East football victo-ry at McClary Athletic Com-plex.

“In the first half, we were alittle dead, we were a littlestunned on offense,” saidCheshire running back SamPascale (97 yards, 18 carries,two TDs). “But in the secondhalf, we got things rollingright away on the first drive,second drive and from therewe just stuck the knife inthem.”

The Green Knights (1-3)struck first after that muffedpunt return when CameronTucker (91 yards, 22 carries)scored from 1 yard to cap afour-play, 29-yard drive. SamGaidish added the PAT with9:25 left in the first quarter.

It wasn’t until Cheshiresophomore Andrew Yaminrecovered a fumble at the ND15 that the Rams finally con-verted. Four plays later quar-terback Vin Sansone (5-for-11,77 yards, three TDs) hit BeauBartone on a wide receiverscreen for 10 yards with 6:51left in the half. Matt D’An-drea’s PAT was wide left.

Notre Dame went up 13-6on the next possession, driv-ing 53 yards in six plays as re-ceiver Christopher Perrycaught a pass deflected byCheshire defensive back JackCunningham in the left cor-ner of the end zone fromquarterback Andrew Natale

(2-for-5, 31 yards, two TDs,one interception) with 4:13 togo. Cunningham got some re-demption by blocking thePAT.

Cheshire (3-1) came rightback with a seven-play drivethat covered 69 yards as San-sone found Tim Covel on aslant pattern over the middlefor a 13-yard TD with 1:43 left.Tyler Bailey evened it at 13with a PAT. Sansone’s 24-yardkeeper around the right endon the drive’s first play andPascale’s 19-yard burst up themiddle from the ND 44 to the25 were the key plays.

From that tightly playedfirst half, Cheshire came outin the second and scorchedthe field with its running at-tack, opening it up with a va-riety of option plays from thespread and involving Cun-ningham (59 yards, four car-

ries) and Yamin (18 yards,four carries) more.

“It always feels good tocontribute,” said Cunning-ham, who also picked off twoND passes in the second half.“In the second half, nothingcould have happened betterfor us and it feels great to winlike this. In the first half, wekind of had the nerves toshuck off. In the second half,the coach gave us a nicespeech to pump us up and wecame out and fired off theball.”

The Rams scored on theirfirst possession of the half inseven plays with Sansone (76yards, 14 carries, two TDs)taking it in on a 4-yard keeperwith 9:48 left in the thirdquarter to make it 20-13.

Gerry Brittingham, was neu-tral throughout the conversa-tion, explaining that his sonplays college rugby. But hesaid he does support the ef-fort to bring the sport to thehigh school if it comes with-out cost to the school district.

McKeown has a bright vi-sion of the future of rugby inCheshire.

What do these items havein common: rolling pins,Christmas decorations, but-tons, milk?

How about these: wireguide assemblies, enameledartwork and bedding plants.

Get the connection or doyou give up?

These items have all beenmade, manufactured, or oth-erwise built and/or sold bybusinesses in Cheshire.

Who knew? For one, Ron Gagliardi -

and possibly Sheldon Dill. Granted, Dill - now in his

seventh year as president ofthe Cheshire Chamber ofCommerce - knows a lot aboutbusinesses in Cheshire. How-ever, when it comes to thetrue, nitty-gritty history ofbusiness in Cheshire, Dill de-fers to Gagliardi - and for

good reason. A long-time resident and

retired elementary art schoolteacher, Gagliardi is a historybuff. “I love history,” he’ll bethe first to tell you. A pub-lished author, one of hisbooks happens to be a historyof Cheshire, which was pub-lished by Arcadia Publishingin 2001.

Also, Gagliardi is fanaticalabout Cheshire. An energeticvolunteer at a multitude oftown agencies and non-prof-its, including the Chamber,he’s even gone as far as towrite a song about the town.

Possibly even more impor-tantly, Gagliardi is also (he issomewhat reluctant to admit)one who “collects things.”Luckily for the Chamber ofCommerce, Gagliardi’s col-lection of Cheshire items isextensive, including items at-

The Cheshire High School Latin Club held afundraiser at Everybody’s Supermarket recently.Members sold cupcakes, pumpkin bread, browniesand cookies, and made more than $300 from theirfirst fundraiser of the year. Club advisor is VirginiaSwan (not pictured). Club members, from left, are:Landon Bassett, Jon Rasimas, Henry Liu, AndrewLevy, Ariana Harris, Lauren Carbone, Brenna Reachand Veronica Schaefer.

“The business communityin Cheshire is relativelysmall,” Dill said. “But there’sa rich history.”

Gagliardi said that if therewas a list of the first busi-nesses in Cheshire, it wouldbe safe to safe to say it wouldname a hunter and then afarmer.

Currently, there are about15,000 people who are em-ployed in Cheshire, Dill said,adding that there are approxi-mately 1,000 businesses intown, including those whohave home-based businesses.

The display is a pertinentsnapshot of the businesscommunity with enough

more.The old-time postcards on-

hand of The Waverly, prompt-ed Gagliardi to talk aboutJohn F. Kennedy and his fam-ily dining there, as well asother names who dropped byThe Waverly, includingKatherine Hepburn and FessParker.

“See?” Dill exclaimed as helooked at Gagliardi. “Serious-ly - who knows all this stuff !”

On the walls of the foyerand throughout the Chamberoffices are prints fromCheshire artists, such asTony Ruggierio, and portraitsof some of the movers andshakers, the tycoons of theday from Cheshire’s earlyyears.


tached to the town’s businesshistory.

Dill and Gagliardi go backa number of years. So whenGagliardi brought up the ideaof putting a collection togeth-er to reference business histo-ry in Cheshire, Dill was all forit.

“Ron is an institution,” Dillsaid. “He has a tremendousamount of enthusiasm forthis community; he’s done alot of good things.”

Thus the Chamber ofCommerce Business Muse-um was born. An importantitem that helped launch theidea and house the collectionwas a display case Gagliardihad in his possession; onefrom the old Cheshire Cine-ma that perhaps was used forcandy sales.

“Ron basically set it uphimself,” said Dill referringto the small annex where the“museum” lives. Gagliardicalls it the MONAT, the mu-seum of now and then.

The case sits in the foyer ofthe Chamber of Commerceand has been filled withCheshire business memora-bilia. It includes a containerof Ball and Socket Co. but-tons, Pez dispensers fromBarker Character, Comic andCartoon Museum; Schofieldpostcards, vintage businessletters from the 1800s, and

items to make it interestingand informative, Dill said.“It’s a volunteer position andI appreciate the fact that he’sput a lot of time into it. He’sgot a big heart, he has a lot ofpride in what he does and thecommunity means a lot tohim.”

However, Gagliardi isn’tfinished. He aims to fill theChamber offices with evenmore business memorabilia.


His next move? It’s to createwhat he calls a “Biz Blitz.”

“My goal,” said Gagliardi,“is to have as many Cheshirebusinesses as possible submita business card, possibly anenvelope or stationery or penor pencil from their companyand have a record of as manyof the companies we can thatare current.”

Gagliardi also would like toimprove his “snapshot ofCheshire businesses,” by con-tinuing to seek out informa-tion from the early years; ac-

quiring news, articles, adsand business paraphernalia,and other items from busi-nesses going back as far as hecan.

Those who have somethingfrom a past or a currentCheshire business are en-couraged to call the Chamberof Commerce offices or RonGagliardi at (203) 272-0701.

The Cheshire Chamber ofCommerce Business Muse-um is open during regularbusiness hours: Monday-Fri-day from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

After last year’s storms town ups emergency readinessBy Andrew Ragali


The town has taken emer-gency preparedness to thenext level, learning from lastyear’s Tropical Storm Ireneand the October snowstorm,which caused power outagesacross the state.

While Town Council Chair-man Tim Slocum feels “weended up doing a fairly decentjob” on response, “we real-ized we were tested.”

The Cheshire Emergency

Management Team, coordi-nated by Fire Chief Jack Cas-ner, used last year’s real-lifetest as a guide to shore upemergency response.

“We’ve walked the walk,”said Casner, who has led theteam since it was createdabout five years ago. “Therewere some weaknesses.”

One shortcoming: thetown’s portable gas-poweredgenerators weren’t compati-ble with many town build-ings.

Casner said last year, whentrying to restore power atTown Hall after the Octoberstorm, crews had to rewire anoutlet so the generator wouldwork. Over the past year, thetown has used part of $160,000in Town Council-approvedfunding to rewire buildings tomake them compatible withthe generators.

“We can be up and runningin ten to fifteen minutes,”Casner said.

Cheshire High School willsoon be equipped with a per-manent natural gas genera-tor. The Cheshire Youth Cen-

ter, 559 S. Main St., is thetown’s primary shelter andcan house up to 50 people. Af-ter that limit is reached, resi-dents are sent to the highschool.

The high school’s perma-nent generator will serve ar-eas that didn’t have power lastyear. Vincent Masciana, di-rector of management servic-es for the school system, saidthe high school didn’t havepower to bathrooms or com-puter data closets. With powerto data closets, wireless Inter-net would be available, keep-ing the lines of communica-

Kirsten Albrecht, left, owner of Physical Therapy andPilates Restoration LLC, works with a client. Albrechtis a physical therapist and Pilates practitioner.

Local physical therapist knowskeys to wellness


Kirsten Albrecht, a physi-cal therapist and owner ofPhysical Therapy and PilatesRestoration, on Highland Av-enue, has seen it all. TheCheshire resident worked inacute care at Yale-New Havenhospital and at a physicaltherapy office in New Britainfor more than a decade. Forthe past nine years, she’s op-erated her own business - 16years experience in total.

Albrecht’s pairing of phys-ical therapy and wellness hasbeen successful; both for herpatients and for her business.In addition to being a PT, she

is a certified Pilates instruc-tor, teaching classes at her fa-cility as well as for groups,such as ESPN at its off-sitewellness center.

“We treat anything ortho-pedic in nature which meansany problem that involvesone of our joints or musclesor ligaments and tendonsaround the joints,” Albrechtsaid, adding that “Because ofthe Pilates pieces we do tendto specialize in spine cases.”

In the wellness area of thefacility are six large pieces ofPilates equipment designedto assist movement, when ex-ercising, and to keep the bodyin alignment. There is addi-tional space for a Pilates matclasses and “prop-work” withrollers, rings and balls. The

physical therapy room withits specialized equipment ishoused in a separate area.

“I think we’re most attrac-tive to people who have somemedical conditions or ortho-pedic problems, Albrechtsaid. “People know thatwe’re physical therapy-based first.”

It’s not unusual for Al-brecht’s physical therapypatients to transition into anexercise class on the well-ness side of the business,but there’s a good number ofpeople “who just like tocome for the wellness aspectof exercise,” she said.

Sewage plant’s filter passing test on phosphorus levels


The wastewater treatmentplant has been testing a discfiltration method to reducephosphorus in water re-leased into the QuinnipiacRiver and is finding the morecost-effective option to beworking.

Cheshire is among townsthat need to reduce their wa-ter phosphorus level under aDepartment of Energy andEnvironmental Protectiondirective, and has been test-ing the disc method sinceSept. 27. Town officials inMeriden, Wallingford andSouthington are watchingthe Cheshire tests becauseall three municipalities havecomplained that complyingwith new state requirementsfor phosphorus is too costly.

When released at high lev-els into water, phosphorusleads to increased algaegrowth, which can potential-ly harm wildlife. The DEEPsays the town needs to lowerits phosphorus levels from0.7 milligrams per liter to 0.2milligrams per liter. So far,tests performed by KrugerInc., a water treatment com-pany from North Carolina,have been more successful

Student absences increasedafter threat at CHS

By Eric Heredia Special to The Citizen

Principal Jeff Solan saidthere were 190 absences Tues-day, Oct. 2, at Cheshire HighSchool after he requested alarger police presence in re-sponse to writing in a boys’bathroom stall.

He said that at this time ofyear, the school usually hasabout 40 absences a day.

Solan sent an email to par-ents Monday, Oct. 1, about thewriting, which read “peoplewill die on/in school on Octo-ber 2nd according to theMayans.” Rumors had circu-lated among students aboutsomeone bringing a gun toschool and he urged parentsand students to come forwardwith information about whowrote it. He said the school is

still investigating but hasn’tdetermined who wrote themessage in the lavatory.

He said he doesn’t regretthe way he handled the situa-tion.

“I discussed the situationwith law enforcement and su-perintendent, evaluated thethreat based on informationwe had and we worked to pro-vide a safe environment,”Solan said. “I respect parentsfor doing what they feel isbest for their children.”

In a follow-up email hethanked parents for their un-derstanding, support and pa-tience.

“With each passing hour Ifeel more comfortable thatwe are returning to normal-cy and that our environmentis secure,” Solan wrote. “If Idid not feel comfortable withstudents attending school wewould have adjusted theschedule accordingly. I be-lieve that it is safe for all stu-dents and staff to be atCheshire High School.”

He said continued policepresence was planned forother school events, such asthe National Honor Societyinduction, also on the sched-ule for Oct. 2.

School events proceeded and all is secure, Solan says

dren, who want to enjoy theHalloween season in mildersurroundings, Temple Lodge#16 hold a Halloween Pan-cake Breakfast Oct. 14 from7:30 a.m. to noon. Childrenare encouraged to wear cos-tumes. Frankenstein andDracula characters will bepart of the fun.

There is an admission tothe all-you-can-eat breakfastfor adults. Children 5-years-old or younger eat breakfastfor free.

and scarier than last year, ac-cording to MatthewJalowiec, executive directorof the event for the Masons.The masterminds of may-hem have devised all types ofnew ways to scare with a castof mad doctors, lunatics andderanged patients. (All forthe goal of helping communi-ty causes.)

New this year is the eleva-tor to Hades and it’s built forscreams. Jalowiec said itwill take visitors down to thedepths of the catacombs, “tothe more terrifying realms ofthe hospital.”

Co-chair MatthewSchmidt coordinates theevent. “We run about 16 ac-tors per shift,” he said.That’s at least four dozenghouls at any given time.

“The kids are great,” hesaid of student volunteers.“There are some people fromthe high school from commu-nity service. High schoolkids are talkin’ it up and vol-unteering their time,”Schmidt said. “These kidsare what make it so good.They get their friends inthere. They had a blast lastyear. Hopefully, we’ll get thesame kind of reaction thisyear.”

Schmidt also praised workdone by Cheshire Communi-ty theatre. “They’ve been ab-solutely great; not only as ac-tors, but helping us to buildthe sets as well.”

It takes almost a month toget the production under-way. Two weeks in Octoberare spent just building.Schmidt said organizers tryto allow time so actors have achance to go through re-hearsals. “Once the fog ma-chines get rolling, it getshard to see,” Schmidt said.

“We’ll fog it up pretty good… colored lights andstrobes,” he said. “We’llprobably have a little bit ofscreams… and creakingnoises — like every hauntedhouse has … plus, there’s go-ing to be a big surprise.”

Hours are from 6:30 to mid-night, Oct. 26, 27 and 28. Thehaunted house is recommend-ed for those 13-years of ageand older. There is an admis-sion fee at the door.

He said trucks could takefood from other schools toHighland’s freezer. Mascianacalled the spoiling of foodduring the October storm Al-bert “one of the largest loss-es,” about a few thousand

dollars.The town will invite bids

on the generators soon, afterthe Town Council decides oncapital projects.

Over the last year, Casnersaid, the emergency responseteam has also worked onstructure and putting togeth-er a more established group.The team has members fromalmost every town depart-ment.

Casner urges residentswho are not enrolled in

CodeRed, the town’s emer-gency notification system, todo so as soon as possible.

“During last year’s storms,we used it on a daily basis,” hesaid.

Residents can register asmany phone numbers as theywant by going to the town’swebsite, www.cheshirect.org.

“We’re in far better shapethan we were last year,” Cas-ner said. “We haven’t identi-fied any huge weaknesses.For what we’re investing, weare in excellent shape.”

Meriden, Southington andWallingford are part of acoalition of municipalitiesopposing new phosphoruslimits, upset with the new di-rectives that will cost mil-lions of dollars in waste-water treatment plant up-grades. The group has beennegotiating with the DEEPin an effort to get the agencyto ease its requirements. Of-ficials were happy Friday tohear about the success of thetests in Cheshire.

“If Cheshire has some-thing that works successful-ly, we’ll definitely look atthat as an option,” Brum-back said.

Wallingford MayorWilliam W. Dickinson Jr.called the test results “goodnews.”

Dickinson hadn’t heard ofthe disc filter method, andhasn’t had an opportunity tolook into what’s achievablefinancially for Wallingford.He is still waiting for clarifi-cation from DEEP, as are theother members of the coali-tion, on expected improve-ment in water quality thatwould be achieved as a resultof significant reductions inphosphorus discharge. Sci-entific clarification won’t beavailable until further test-ing of the Quinnipiac River,and the coalition will consid-

er its option when that infor-mation comes.

Officials familiar with thephosphorus issue in Meri-den were unavailable forcomment Oct. 5.

Cook, who has performedsimilar tests all over thecountry, said that “everyplant is unique and has dif-ferent water characteris-tics,” and the success of thefiltration process inCheshire was difficult to pre-dict before testing began.

The system works in atwo-part process. A chemicalis added when the water firstenters the plant, which helpsreduce initial phosphoruslevels. Before water flowsthrough the disc filter, chem-ical coagulants are addedthat bind phosphorus mole-cules into larger particles.The particles are then fil-tered through tiny, 10-micronpores. The water exits the fil-ter at almost the same clarityas drinking water.

Testing will officially beover on Thursday, afterwhich results will be present-ed to the Water PollutionControl Authority inCheshire. If levels are to theliking of members of theWPAC, as Dievert expectsthey will be, the town will goahead with its plan of in-stalling an array of muchlarger filters at the plant tohandle the town’s flow.

But before anything is per-manently installed, the $31.3million wastewater treat-ment plant upgrade mustfirst be approved in a referen-dum in November.

Parents ‘in motion’ as they planSaturday’s band event


Parents are amazingwhen it comes to doing fortheir kids - they could becalled heroes. In that case,band parents in CheshireHigh School’s Band Parents’Association surely are su-perheroes.

That’s especially true atthis time of year — as theyready for the 29th annualMusic in Motion event,scheduled for Oct. 13 atCheshire High School.

This group of parents andvolunteers are the “heavy-lifters.” They get thingsdone - and there’s lots to do.

At one of the last organi-zational meetings before thebig day, BPA vice-presidentDeborah Aguiar worked herway through a long “to-do”list, organizing volunteers,band moms and dads, as wellas alumni parents, in orderto tie up loose ends and en-sure the success of thisyear’s event.

Parents are responsiblefor Music in Motion fromtop-to-bottom: set-up to tear-down; clean-up and every-thing in between. A fractionof the detail work might betraffic control, tending tothe judges, food prep, cook-ing and serving, coordinat-ing kids and bands from 19different schools, searchingout tons of ice throughoutthe day, marking sprinklerheads ahead of time so bus-es don’t park on them andbreak them, security for theevent, and keeping perform-ances on schedule.

It helps that there are par-ents who have done this be-fore — like Jackie Sima, analumni parent, and 2010-2011Music in Motion chair,whose five kids were in theprogram.

“You’re doing great!”Sima told the group. “This isa big fundraiser for us,” shereminded them, “And you’redoing everything right and

Currently, “the family” in-cludes 77 members in themarching band, according toKathleen Crooker, parent

Crooker pointed out thatthe event also has developeddevotees of the food avail-able at the event. Volunteerscook and serve the now fa-mous “walking tacos,” frieddough, grilled steak sand-wiches and assorted treats.

Era of Irish famine at the heart of new museumBy Andrew Ragali


Ireland’s Great HungerMuseum, 3011 Whitney Ave.,Hamden, near QuinnipiacUniversity, will open to thepublic today, Oct. 11.

“This doesn’t even exist inIreland,” said John Lahey,speaking about the wealth ofhistoric material found at themuseum. “There’s nothingclose there to a museum thequality of this place.”

Lahey who is president ofQuinnipiac University and aCheshire resident of 25years, takes pride in tellingthe often forgotten story ofthe Irish potato famine. Healso possesses detailedknowledge of the museum’sartwork which depicts the po-tato famine, now betterknown as the Great Hunger,which took place between1845 and 1852.

Lahey said those of Irishheritage often see the years ofthe famine as a black eye; aperiod to feel ashamed of and

therefore not a time to ex-plore. Many Irish “internal-ized the British narrative,like someone who was violat-ed,” he said, likening theirfeelings to that of a rape vic-tim who doesn’t come for-

ward “because they feel theycould have done more to pre-vent it.”

Although of Irish heritagehimself — a second-genera-tion Irish-American whogrew up in the historically

Irish Riverdale section of theBronx — Lahey wasn’t al-ways well-educated on thehistory of the era. Then, in1996, he read a novel by Irishwriter Christine Kinealycalled “This Great Calamity”and had an “intellectualawakening.”

“We knew (the era) had adark overtone to it,” Laheysaid. What he didn’t knowwas that, at the time of thefamine, the British govern-ment had resources to aid theIrish during their time ofstruggle, but instead, it toldthe Irish the suffering was“your punishment for beinglazy.”

The British governmentdidn’t take partial responsi-bility for the famine until1997, the 150th anniversary of1847, known as Black ’47 —the deadliest year of thefamine. “Even in 1947, the

100th anniversary of thefamine, nothing was reallydone in Ireland,” Lahey said.

About 15 years ago, eventsconverged that led to achance to tell this forgottenstory and eventually the cre-ation of the museum.

In 1997, Lahey was appoint-ed grand marshal of NewYork City’s St. Patrick’s DayParade and consequently wasinvited to several events host-ed by Irish organizations inthe city. Also at this time,bagel magnate MurrayLender, then a trustee atQuinnipiac, (he died earlierthis year) wanted the famineremembered the same way asthe Holocaust is. The son of aJewish immigrant fromPoland, Lender grew up inNew Haven and had manyIrish friends.

“He very much knew theimmigrant experience,” La-hey said. “He found thefamine story to be importantand under-told.”

After the parade, Lendertold Lahey he wanted to helpcreate a room in the Quinnip-iac library dedicated to thetopic. In 2000, the LenderFamily Special CollectionRoom opened; filled with art,educational and research ma-terials. The Lender familycontinued to contribute art-work until recently and thecollection became so large itcouldn’t be fully displayed.Lender and Lahey talkedabout getting a building ac-cessible to the public to show-case the art. After buying a4,750 square-foot building,formerly a library, to housethe art and archives, the uni-

John Lahey, a Cheshire resident and president of Quinnipiac University, discuss-es a painting on display at the newly opened Great Hunger Museum.

versity became home to theonly museum in the worlddedicated to Irish art depict-ing the Great Hunger.

To help tell the story of thefamine, Lahey recruited Ni-amh O’Sullivan, professoremeritus of visual culturewith the National College ofArt and Design in Dublin, tobe curator. She specializes inthe social history of art, andpoints out the strong narra-tive strain of the GreatHunger story.

O’Sullivan said. “Thereare 40 million descendents ofthe Irish in America today.We’re tracing back how thathappened.” While it’s esti-mated that more than a mil-lion people died during theGreat Hunger, scholars be-lieve about two million leftIreland for America in thoseyears. The population of Ire-land was reduced by half.

Located between largeIrish-American populationsin New York City and Boston,and with 10 to 20 percent ofstudents at the school ofIrish heritage, having themuseum makes perfect sense

for the school, Lahey said.“The museum will be

quickly world-renowned ashaving the most exclusivecollection of artworks andartifacts that tell the story ofthe Great Hunger,” said for-mer state Sen. ThomasGaffey, a Meriden residentwho in the late 1990s helpedpass a bill that introduced theGreat Hunger into the publicschool curriculum.

Gaffey called the faminethe “worst non-militarytragedy of the 19th century,”and a “largely untold story.”

“The events and conse-quences that emanated wereabsolutely attributed to the

IrishContinued from page 20

laissez-faire attitude of theBritish government,” Gaffeysaid. “You literally had peo-ple dying on the ground,skeletons of themselves, withgreen around their mouthsfrom trying to eat grass. Thiswas really genocide.”

“The Irish experience cap-tured at this museum is verymuch an experience almosteveryone in America canidentify with,” said Lahey.

Starting Oct. 11, the muse-um will be open to the publicWednesdays 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.;Thursdays 10 a.m. to 7 p.m.;Fridays and Saturdays 10a.m. to 5 p.m.; and Sundays 1to 5 p.m.

By Andrew RagaliSpecial to The Citizen

The Board of Educa-tion’s agenda was dramati-cally altered Oct. 4 by anunusually large audience,about 40 people, who at-tended the meeting to sup-port changing rugby’s sta-tus from an activity offeredby the town’s Parks andRecreation Department toa club sport at CheshireHigh School.

Bill Bishop, director ofthe Cheshire Rugby Club,established in 2005, spokeon behalf of the group. Ini-tially, the board planned tohold an open forum onplanning, curriculum, pol-icy and finance, but theoverwhelming majority ofpeople at the meeting at-tended specifically to sup-port the rugby club. Theaudience included highschool-age rugby players,male and female, alongwith parents and coachesof both the boys and girlsrugby teams for the club.

Bishop said the rugbysupporters weren’t askingfor money. “We actuallythink we can generate rev-enue,” he said. Bishop toldthe board that 400 boyshave passed through theprogram since 2005. Thegirls team was started lastyear with 30 members andwon the state title. He saidrugby is one of the most-watched sports in theworld, and its values of re-spect, sportsmanship, dis-cipline and inclusion“make it special.”

“We don’t cut kids,” hesaid. “There is a place foreverybody.”

In the last seven years,Bishop said, the club hasgenerated revenuethrough sponsorships anddues, $2,500 of which wentto funding the turf field atthe high school.

Kate Phillips, presidentof the club’s parents asso-ciation, speaking in favorof high school rugby, saidthe sport offers somethingdifferent that won’t com-pete with current varsitysports.

“We take these kids at 13or 14, all beginners, allmaking mistakes, andeverybody gets the chanceto learn together,” Phillipssaid.

Sean McKeown, ateacher at CHS, is thecoach of the boys team.Ally Valenti coaches thegirls. McKeown said all thetowns to which Cheshire iscompared have varsityrugby teams at their highschools.

School SuperintendentGreg Florio addressed thegroup, citing his concernsabout making the rugbyclub part of the highschool.

“It’s not just that youcan be self-sufficient now,”Florio said. “If it’s a club,it has to be self-sufficientforever.”

The board has placed amoratorium on the addi-tion of new high schoolclubs that will add to theeducation budget. Theboard asked about insur-ance costs and raised lia-bility concerns. Florioasked Bishop for more in-formation so he could re-search the issue.

“At no cost, I have noproblem,” Florio said.

Phillips said the clubwould like to come to thehigh school because “we’recoming up against teamsthat are high school level,and it’s getting hard tocompete.”

After the meeting, Bish-op said the board’s reac-tion was fair.

By Paul RosanoThe Cheshire Citizen

Cheshire seemed to havethe jitters early in its gamewith Notre Dame-West HavenFriday night.

The Rams fumbled awaywhat would have been theirfirst possession on a muffedpunt return. And four timesin the first half the Rams hadthe ball at the Notre Dame 28or deeper, including twice atthe ND 4, but couldn’t cashin.

Things changed dramati-cally in the second half as anenergized Cheshire squadscored 35 unanswered pointsto pull away for a 48-13 SCCDivision I-East football victo-ry at McClary Athletic Com-plex.

“In the first half, we were alittle dead, we were a littlestunned on offense,” saidCheshire running back SamPascale (97 yards, 18 carries,two TDs). “But in the secondhalf, we got things rollingright away on the first drive,second drive and from therewe just stuck the knife inthem.”

The Green Knights (1-3)struck first after that muffedpunt return when CameronTucker (91 yards, 22 carries)scored from 1 yard to cap afour-play, 29-yard drive. SamGaidish added the PAT with9:25 left in the first quarter.

It wasn’t until Cheshiresophomore Andrew Yaminrecovered a fumble at the ND15 that the Rams finally con-verted. Four plays later quar-terback Vin Sansone (5-for-11,77 yards, three TDs) hit BeauBartone on a wide receiverscreen for 10 yards with 6:51left in the half. Matt D’An-drea’s PAT was wide left.

Notre Dame went up 13-6on the next possession, driv-ing 53 yards in six plays as re-ceiver Christopher Perrycaught a pass deflected byCheshire defensive back JackCunningham in the left cor-ner of the end zone fromquarterback Andrew Natale

(2-for-5, 31 yards, two TDs,one interception) with 4:13 togo. Cunningham got some re-demption by blocking thePAT.

Cheshire (3-1) came rightback with a seven-play drivethat covered 69 yards as San-sone found Tim Covel on aslant pattern over the middlefor a 13-yard TD with 1:43 left.Tyler Bailey evened it at 13with a PAT. Sansone’s 24-yardkeeper around the right endon the drive’s first play andPascale’s 19-yard burst up themiddle from the ND 44 to the25 were the key plays.

From that tightly playedfirst half, Cheshire came outin the second and scorchedthe field with its running at-tack, opening it up with a va-riety of option plays from thespread and involving Cun-ningham (59 yards, four car-

ries) and Yamin (18 yards,four carries) more.

“It always feels good tocontribute,” said Cunning-ham, who also picked off twoND passes in the second half.“In the second half, nothingcould have happened betterfor us and it feels great to winlike this. In the first half, wekind of had the nerves toshuck off. In the second half,the coach gave us a nicespeech to pump us up and wecame out and fired off theball.”

The Rams scored on theirfirst possession of the half inseven plays with Sansone (76yards, 14 carries, two TDs)taking it in on a 4-yard keeperwith 9:48 left in the thirdquarter to make it 20-13.
