tional Princess, and last year was crowned Miss Litchfield County’s Outstanding Teen.

With her family’s re-cent move to Cheshire, Tara will represent the town as Cheshire’s Miss Outstanding Teen 2015 in June’s Miss Con-necticut’s Outstanding Teen state pageant.

“I wanted to represent my new town, and hopefully grow the Miss Connecticut program,” Tara said. “I’m looking to be that first ti-tle holder in the town, and try to encourage people to get involved, and let people know we’re not just girls who

model. We are smart and have talents. There is substance there,” she said.

As a freshman at Cheshire Academy, Tara is class of 2018 president, and works as an intern in the communica-tions department at school. She has earned letters in var-sity sports, and plays striker for the school’s soccer team. “I’m a forward. I try to score the goal,” said Lynch, who calls herself an aspiring ESPN Sports Center anchor.

She explained that con-testants wear crowns, not ti-aras, and the meaning behind that familiar pageant symbol. The four points on the crown signify scholarship, service, style and success. “We be-lieve that if you can embody the four points, you are truly a title holder, whether you are wearing a crown or not.” I feel that is the real message behind the organization,” she said.

“It is worth noting that the Miss America Scholar-ship Organization is the larg-est provider of scholarships to women, making nearly $45 million in scholarships available to young women like me,” Tara said. In plac-ing second at the state pag-eant last year, she received a $750 college scholarship. It’s something that may help her with college “down the road.”

Julie Anderson, academic

dean at Cheshire Academy counts Tara as “a true gem.”

“She is dynamic, well-spo-ken, well-rounded and char-ismatic with sincerity behind it all. She strives to do her best in all aspects—from ac-ademic, to athletic, to ex-tra-curricular and she is warm, friendly, and welcom-ing to all, Anderson said, adding, “She makes Cheshire Academy a better place by being here.”

Tara was extremely shy as a third grader, recalls her mother, Colleen Lynch. “I was trying to figure out how to get her to come out of her shell,” she said, and then re-membered watching the Miss America pageant on TV with her own mother. Watch-ing those confident young women, Colleen thought the program might help Tara to become less shy. After con-necting her daughter with a local director in Torrington, where the family lived at the time, Tara competed and won her first title in 2009.

The plan worked. “I broke out of my shell,” said Tara.

Competing in pageants and making personal appear-ance is one component where Tara demonstrates her drive. “I try to do the best in every-thing I do,” she said.

Police

Dryfe is pleased with the institution of a schedule change that gives officers more normal-hour weekends off. Instead of working the traditional five days on, two days off, police now alternate between weeks of five days on, two off, and five on, three off.

Milone said Cheshire will save about $225,000 per year through the elimination offour supervisory positions as part of a departmental reor-ganization, a retirement in-centive package accepted byfive department members anddoing away with double-time on Sundays. The contract also raises medical co-pays, whichleads to additional savings forthe town, he said.

“We are running the police department for less than wewere before and achieving

significant savings without in any way cutting services,” he said.

Jortner said the union isalso satisfied with the trade-

offs in the contract. “We’reready to move on and pro-vide the best service we can for the people of Cheshire,”he said.

carries over to competitive Irish dancing for which she’s received a number of awards. She is a member of Connecti-cut’s Scoil Rince Luimni, “Limerick School of Dance,” an Irish dance academy. Tara also fund raises for various charities, such as the Con-necticut Children’s Medical Center as part of her title as Miss Cheshire’s Outstanding Teen. In fundraising, she has hosted bottle and can drives, helping to raise more than $1,000 for the Children’s Mir-acle Network.

The creation of her own motivational program for young women in 2011, called “Run the World: Building Confidence and Character in Girls,” is a project Tara said she is proud to have achieved. Tara makes presentations to girls in after school programs, kids’ organizations and Girl Scout troops. Cathy Flynn, a Girl Scout troop leader in Torrington, invited Lynch to present her program last year, to a group of young scouts from different troops, in grades 5 through 8.

“Tara, herself, showed much confidence in her de-livery of the program,” Flynn said, adding that when the program was finished, the girls didn’t want Tara to go. “They fell in love with her very quickly and felt that she was a new found friend.”

The program is aimed at

helping younger students gain confidence and believe in themselves.

Tara said she hopes to es-tablish a similar program in Cheshire and continue to ex-pand the concept after her reign is done.

It’s apparent Tara enjoys pursuing a busy agenda and appears to be able to juggle multiple goals. “I’ve always been driven in school,” she said, listing English, creative writing and research as her favorite subjects in school. “I’ve always tried to get good grades and balance my time with soccer and dance class, to use time management skills,” she said.

The Miss Connecticut’s Outstanding Teen pageant, part of the Miss America or-ganization, is scheduled for June 25 to 27, at the Garde Arts Theater in New London.

Cheshire Academy piano prodigy awarded

A Cheshire Academy stu-dent, 14-year-old Shiva Carey, won a competition put on by the Connecticut State Music Teachers Association earlier this month.

“It feels great (to win),” Shiva wrote by email. “I feel that each win is a validation… right now it feels like I’m one step closer to having a career in the musical arts.”

Judges praised the “clean and clear notes” of his perfor-mance with “great intensity” and a “wonderful resolve.”

“Shiva grew dramatically as a pianist over these six years,” said the young man’s piano teacher, Ekatrina Shive. Shiva plays music “on a higher tech-nical level, able to quickly read the music and even compose his own music with interesting harmony, but be-cause he brings life and feel-ings into the music he plays,” the teacher said.

Shiva said his other in-terests include film and skateboarding, as well as composing his own music. His favorite genre is jazz. “Something about the genre though is very exciting, it’s

very jumpy and filled with energy.”

Brainard Carey, the boy’s father, said he noticed Shiva had an “unusual sensitivity to music” when watching the movie “Up.” Shiva pointed out a particular song that then went on to win a Grammy for “that very music,” Carey said. “That was about the time we began to see his sensitivity was beyond his years.” Shiva still comments on the music when watching films or tele-vision with his family, “and whether he feels it works with cinematography or ti-tles,” Carey said. The proud father said it was gratifying to see his son follow in the footsteps of his late grand-father, who was a composer. “Perhaps he lives in Shiva,”

Carey said.Shive recalled asking Shiva

around when she first started teaching him why he thinks

with a few mistakes, when they could hear a perfect computer recorded perfor-mance for free. “That was the first time I told him that play-ing a musical instrument is not about notes in the correct order, but making them sound magical. Notes are just sym-bols. They need a performer who will make them sing, cry, laugh, make your heart beat faster, or stop,” Shive said. Shiva, the teacher said, has become “a real musician who plays from his heart,” which is why she believes he won the competition, making the Bach piece he played sound like an “exciting dialogue of two voices.”

Dog found during storm euthanized due to illness

A Great Dane found on Feb. 9, by a Good Samaritan, was euthanized a few days later after veterinarians dis-covered a genetic condition caused the dog’s organs to fail.

Cheshire Animal Control Officer April Leiler took the Great Dane, named Blue, to Yalesville Veterinary Hospi-tal on Feb. 11 for treatment. While there, it was discov-ered Blue was suffering from multiple problems, the most severe being a genetic con-dition that was causing heart

failure and liquid to enter his lungs, Leiler said.

“He was suffering,” Leiler said. “(The veterinarian) recommended putting him down. If we hadn’t I would have found him dead in the cage, or he would have col-lapsed while walking and it would have been an emer-gency situation.”

Blue, named by Cheshire Animal Control, is a blue merle Great Dane. He was found wandering on Acad-emy Road during the snow-storm. Vincent Duprey was driving and spotted Blue, but was unable to come to a full stop before his vehicle

struck the dog. Although Blue seemed fine after the blow, Duprey said the dog was ex-tremely malnourished with its ribs showing.

The news of Blue reached far and wide, especially on various rescue and pet supply Facebook pages, Leiler said. Her assistant was in the office until 8 p.m. on Wednesday, Feb. 11, fielding calls. Many people expressed sympa-thy for Blue. Others donated items, like a large sweater and food, before news of his con-dition was known.

In addition to the genetic condition, Blue had labored breathing and did not want

to pick up his head or move around, Leiler said. Kathy Grasso, manager at Yalesville Veterinary Hospital, said that Dr. Frank Kostolitz examined Blue and diagnosed the dog with dilated cardiomyopathy, or DCM.

Leiler said she suspects Blue’s owners could not af-ford the cost of euthaniza-tion or the cremation, but she wishes they had contacted some rescue groups for help. Leiler said Great Danes of Connecticut might have been able to help with the costs. Grasso said that, based on the condition he was found in, Blue could not have been roaming for long because he would not have survived for

an extended period of time in the cold.

Blue’s emaciated condition was a result of the organ fail-ure, not neglect, because he didn’t want to eat as much and was burning calories just from the effort of standing, she said. Grasso said Blue weighed 113 pounds, and a healthy dog of his age and size should have been be-tween 165 and 180 pounds.

Although Leiler said she has received some negative feedback about euthaniz-ing the dog, but she added there was no medication or treatment that could have fixed Blue’s condition. DCM, Grasso said, is the No. 1 killer of Great Danes, Grasso said.

Dodd Middle School eighth-grader Ayan Bhat-tacharjee won the school-level round of the National Geographic Bee, held at Dodd on Jan. 30.

Thirty-two students par-ticipated. Social Studies Division Leader Patricia DiGiacamo and Principal Michael Woods asked ques-tions on geography until the group was narrowed to seven finalists. Questions posed to the finalists be-came progressively harder, Dodd secretary Lori Braun said in a statement.

Bhattacharjee also com-pleted a 60-question exam

of multiple-choice, short answer and essay ques-tions. The test will be submitted to the National Geographic Society, which sponsors the competition for 10- to 14-year-olds.

The organization will re-view Bhattacharjee’s test, along with those of other school-level winners in the state, to determine which students will move on to the state round in April at Central Connecticut State University.

The state winner will advance to the national competition in May in Washington. The winner of the final round will re-ceive a $25,000 college scholarship.

The town was given a AAA credit rating last week by both the Standard & Poor’s and Fitch rating services, enabling it to sell bonds at a lower interest rate than anticipated.

The AAA rating is the high-est awarded by the rating agencies.

The 2.59 percent rate on the $15 million sale is expected to save the town $1,060,000 over 20 years, said Town Manager Michael A. Milone.

A 3.25 percent rate had been expected, he said.

Proceeds from the sale will finance 40 town projects, in-cluding a permanent cover for the community pool, a second ladder truck for the fire department, bridge re-placements, road repaving and school and municipal building improvements.

Cheshire also received a premium of $773,000 on the sale, which was designated to pay down its current and fu-ture debt.

“It’s money upfront,” for debt payments, said James J. Jaskot, the town’s finance director.

The bond sale was facil-itated by Phoenix Advisors and Robinson & Cole, the town’s financial advisor and bond counsel. They will also arrange a bond refunding at the end of February or the be-ginning of March on bonds is-sued in 2006 for past projects, Milone said.

“It ’s l ike ref inancing a house,” Town Coun-cil Vice-Chairman David Schrumm said.

Jaskot expects the town to save as much as $360,000 at an interest rate of between 2 and 3 percent on the refund-ing, the seventh the town has done since 1999.

plumbing and drainage prob-lems that cause it to flood. It also fails to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act. Renovations will include asbestos removal, a rebuilt ventilation system, modifica-tions to make it ADA compli-ant and new lockers, floors, showers and fixtures. The

sewer line running from the room will also be cleaned out.

The senior center base-ment will be converted from a storage area to a recreation room. Planned renovations include new floor surfaces, a drop ceiling, an independent heating and air conditioning system, a basement security system with cameras and door alarms, new lighting, wall-mounted cabinetry and repainting. The center also wants an enclosed storage room built in one section of the room, along with recessed closets.

Diversity Construction

Group will do the locker room refurbishments, which are expected to be finished in August. The company sub-mitted the low bid on the project of $697,000.

In referendums in 2009 and 2014, voters approved a total of $750,000 for the locker room renovations, which will be financed through the sale of municipal bonds.

Diversity was endorsed by BL Cos. of Meriden, which did the design work for the project, Councilor James M. Sima told his colleagues. Sima is the council’s liaison to the commission.

Salomone & Associates of Hamden has been hired to do design work for the senior center project, which is ex-pected to be done in the fall. The company bid $14,900, also the lowest bid received by the town.

Cheshire received a $300,000 state grant that is expected to fund the design component, as well as all or most of the renovations.

Sima said Salomone is well-acquainted with the cen-ter from its work associated with the replacement of the facility’s elevator last year.

“They’re very familiar with the building,” he said.

Councilors voted 7-2 in fa-vor of the locker room bid. Democrat Liz Linehan joined Republicans Sima, Sylvia Nichols, Tom Ruocco, Rob Oris, Vice-Chairman Da-vid Schrumm and Chairman Timothy P. Slocum in support of the bid. Democrats Peter Talbot and Patti Flynn-Har-ris opposed it.

that span have produced $4.2 million in savings, he said.

In awarding Cheshire the AAA rating, Fitch and Standard & Poor’s cited the town’s “strong finan-cial position, “strong finan-cial performance,” “strong management,” “very strong budgetary flexibility,” and “very strong institutional framework.”

Cheshire already had a AAA rating from Fitch. Moody’s Investors Ser-vice had previously given Cheshire an Aa1 , the second highest possible rating.

From Page 7 School board chooses firm for 10-year facilities plan

The Board of Education voted unanimously Thursday night, Feb. 12, to recommend to the Town Council that Per-kins Eastman Architects of New York be paid $108,000 to conduct a comprehensive 10-year school facilities plan. The analysis would include a

buildings and grounds review and enrollment and demo-graphic projections. The plan would provide a “road map” for the school system to be able to meet its future needs as it conducts long-range fa-cilities planning, said board member Cathy Hellreich.

“The point of this is to have a to top-down, bottom-up re-view” by an independent,

unbiased third party to de-termine the schools’ long-term facilities requirements, board member Tony Perugini said. “We wanna get the most bang for our buck.”

The district asked the council for $145,000 for the plan in its capital budget in August. The council declined to appropriate the funds, but earmarked $136,000 for the

study from a pair of planning accounts.

Some councilors ques-tioned the necessity of the enrollment and demographic study, so firms that bid on the project were directed to sub-mit not only a proposal for the all-encompassing analy-sis, but also one for the facili-

Behavior is a powerful form of communication and is one of the primary ways for people with dementia to communicate their needs and feelings as the ability to use language is lost. However, some behaviors can present real challenges for caregivers to manage. Join us to learn to decode behavioral messages, identify common behavior triggers, and learn strategies to help intervene with some of the most common behavioral challenges of Alzheimer’s disease.

ties plan alone and one solely for the enrollment analysis.

“Nobody likes to spend money on consultants,” Chairman Gerry Brittingham said. “But, the greatest benefit is to the town of Cheshire and the taxpayers.”

Three companies were se-lected in December for inter-

views, which were held last week by the board’s planning committee. Along with Per-kins Eastman, the committee heard pitches from Friar As-sociates, of Farmington, and Maier Design Group, of Hart-ford, and Silver/Petrucelli & Associates, of Hamden.

Perkins Eastman was the lowest bidder among the three companies. The firm

would do just the facilities analysis for $80,000 and just the enrollment analysis for $33,000.

WALLINGFORD — Lori Ratchelous picked up a handful of treats and walked over to 3-year-old Nutmeg, who wagged her

tail and waited patiently for a command.

“Sit,” Ratchelous said to Nutmeg, a sandy-colored Labrador retriever mix.

Nutmeg sat down. “Can you wave?” said

Ratchelous as she held the

treats in the air and made a circular motion with her wrist. “Wave, wave, wave.”

Suddenly Nutmeg lifted her right paw and waved it up and down a few times.

Robot reporters will make us bionic journalists

“Arch Coal Inc. (ACI) on Tuesday reported a loss of $240.1 million in its fourth quarter… The results did not meet Wall Street expectations.”

The above was written by a robot, coming from an Associated Press report written by the Automated Insights algorithm. This computer program wrote 3,000 stories for the AP last quarter – 10 times what the AP reporters have been pro-ducing on their own. The stories are sterile, precise, and completely error-free, but they read as if assembled with a cookie-cutter.

“It is certainly some-thing that bears watching,” Quinnipiac Associate Pro-fessor of Journalism Richard Hanley told this reporter by phone. Hanley, a North Haven resident, doesn’t think that “the robots are taking over journalism,” but that the new technology could bring changes to the industry. The AP’s use of Automated Insights hasn’t resulted in layoffs, according to a press release.

Hanley points out that the work robo-reporters can

do is fairly limited. A program can tell you “what the DOW did or who won the game,” Hanley said, but they can’t think of new ideas or “look at the world through a nuanced perspec-tive.” These, the pro-fessor said, are the skills he is telling his students they will need to succeed in journalism.

Robots and humans can team up on stories as well. As Will Oremus reported for Slate, “Quakebot” helped the Los Angeles Times put up a story about an earthquake less than five minutes after it happened. Quakebot’s initial story was short and to the point. “Not exactly Pulitzer-worthy,” Oremus wrote, but journalists were then able to use Quakebot’s facts and numbers as part of a much longer front-page piece the next day. One day using a program to help as-semble facts and statistics may be commonplace — bi-onic journalism.

What the robots will take over is some of the least in-teresting and most repetitive work, according to Hanley. Short, simple pieces are “ba-sically data encased in a for-

mat,” the professor said, which is easy for robots.

Robo-reporters may be handy, but they could never dream to write as well as this: “…De-spite racking up seven hits and eight runs, Friona was led by a flawless day at

the dish by Hunter Sundre, who went 2-2 against Boys Ranch pitching… Friona piled up the steals, swiping eight bags in all.”

Did I trick you this time? A Narrative Science pro-gram wrote the above along with more than 400,000 other stories about Lit-tle League games using an iPhone app called Ga-meChanger, as Steven Levy reports for Wired.

The robot’s command of sports slang is impressive, but if you take a closer look, the story is nothing but sta-tistics clumped into a narra-tive – the robot knows what happened play-by-play but it can’t tell you the how and the why.

Human reporters will still be needed to do more nuanced stories that “re-

A $400,000 state grant will be used to study environmen-tal conditions at the historic Ball & Socket Manufacturing Co. property on West Main Street. Ball & Socket Arts, a nonprofit organization, is working to turn the build-ing into a cultural and com-mercial center and will use the grant to identify steps re-quired to clean up the site.

The group, which con-sists of three Cheshire High School alumni, purchased the former button manufac-turing factory in September. The condition of the facility has deteriorated significantly since it closed in 1994, 144 years after it opened.

The funding will be ob-tained through the state’s municipal brownfield grant program. A brownfield is a former industrial or com-mercial site that could be reused or redeveloped, but could be environmentally contaminated.

Ball & Socket Arts is al-ready aware of some pollu-tion on the premises and has taken steps to address it.

A pump-and-treat system has been installed to remedi-ate toxic groundwater at the site.

Asbestos abatement will

also be required, according to Ilona Somogyi, Ball & Socket Arts treasurer.

Manchester-based engi-neering and consulting firm Fuss & O’Neil will conduct the study, said Jeffrey Gui-mond, Ball & Socket Arts secretary.

He expects the company, which will serve as the “re-mediation agent” throughout the whole redevelopment project, to begin the analysis soon and complete it in the spring.

“We’ll have a firm idea of what the conditions of the property are,” he said.

Fuss & O’Neill has priced the study at $295,000. How-ever, the total cost of reme-diation will exceed $400,000, he said.

Ball & Socket Arts is seek-ing to finance the redevelop-ment project through other grants, tax credits and private funding.

The state won’t give the grant directly to Ball & Socket Arts but rather to Cheshire, which will then convey the funds to Ball & Socket Arts. The Town Council approved the arrangement at its Feb. 10 meeting.

“The town is essentially a pass-through,” said Timo-thy P. Slocum, the council’s

quire deep interpretation of the facts,” as Hanley put it, while robots crunch the numbers. “Students don’t need to be afraid of this or concerned about it.”

At the same time, Narra-tive Science’s CTO and co-founder Kristian Hammond told Levy after some prod-ding that he thinks more than 90 percent of news will be written by robots in the future. Still, Levy says, “This robonews tsunami, (Ham-

mond) insists, will not wash away the remaining human reporters who still collect paychecks. Instead, the uni-verse of newswriting will expand dramatically, as com-puters mine vast troves of data to produce ultra-cheap, totally readable accounts of events, trends, and develop-ments that no journalist is currently covering.”

Timothy Aeppel points out in The Wall Street Jour-nal that this is just part of a larger trend of automation in white-collar jobs, with

computers taking on legal research, translation, and even helping to diagnose diseases. Similar programs are also poised to take over writing data-driven financial reports.

So are our jobs safe? As safe as everyone else’s, prob-ably: just take a look at what else is coming. At the You-Tube page for the Google Self-Driving Car project, you can watch people step into a truly automatic automo-bile that doesn’t even have a steering wheel – this isn’t

theoretical, it’s already here. Self driving cars don’t even have to be perfect, just bet-ter than human drivers. Ma-chines have a leg up on us, too, never letting tiredness or distraction impair their lightning-fast reflexes.

Now take a look at Mo-mentum Machines’ burger robot, which may give fast food a run for its money. Journalists may, at least, be better off than cabbies, burger flippers, and truck drivers. If all this change freaks you out, here’s some

perspective: in the short term, robots may put a lot of us out of work — but we’ll all be in this together. Plus, not too long ago, 90 percent of people were farmers. Ac-cording to Wired, 2 percent of Americans now work in agriculture. Machines have totally taken over farming, and although it took some time for us to adjust, we did.

Ratchelous

“Good wave, good wave,” said Ratchelous as she re-warded Nutmeg with a few treats.

Ratchelous, of Cheshire, is a social worker, and her dog, Nutmeg, is a trained therapy dog that works with children who come to Soul Friends in Wallingford.

Soul Friends is a nonprofit organization started in 2003 by Kate Nicoll of Cheshire as a way to incorporate animals into therapy sessions. Chil-dren who have suffered from a death in the family, trauma, or kids with special needs or emotional challenges can visit Soul Friends. There are a variety of programs that are offered based on the child’s needs.

“It was to provide ani-mal-assisted therapy for kids who needed services,” said Nicoll. “Incorporating the animals, we’re able to pro-vide an environment that’s kind of a motivating factor for kids to participate in therapy in a way that they might not want to outside of this set-ting. There’s increased mo-tivation, there’s just the fun factor of it, there’s a novelty of it where this setting auto-matically becomes warmer

and kinder because we have animals present.”

It was after she suffered a spinal cord injury that Nicoll realized how helpful animals are.

“I was surprised really … by the interaction that I got from my dog while I was experi-encing pain,” she said. “Be-cause of that, I kind of said, as a social worker how can I put that to work to help kids?”

Besides dogs, Soul Friends also uses horses and guinea pigs in therapy sessions. In the past, Ratchelous said, they also had a cat that worked with the kids.

In the office, children from ages 3 all the way to 21-year-old adults come for visits. To participate in the equine therapy, children have to be at least 7. The equine therapy spring session starts again at

the end of March. In 2014, Soul Friends made

more than 1,200 visits with animals to children in need. Since the nonprofit started in 2003, social workers have seen more than 6,000 children.

Soul Friends also has a cri-sis-response therapy dog and are able to help others who are affected when a tragedy happens. It could be mem-bers of the community, first responders, the people di-rectly involved, and more, Ratchelous explained.

Both Ratchelous and Nicoll have completed training with the Federal Emergency Man-agement Agency to be able to respond with therapy animals to a crisis.

Schools, doctors offices, the state, parents and others can refer children to use Soul

Friend’s services.“We utilize the therapy an-

imals into our sessions with the kids,” said Ratchelous. “For a child that maybe is lacking self esteem or needs some confidence boosting, we’ll have them maybe do a new trick with the dog, teach the dog a new trick.”

For children with autism, Ratchelous said she often works with voice control and eye contact using Nutmeg. This gets the child used to as-serting commands using the tone of their voice and mak-ing eye contact with the dog while doing it.

Nutmeg knows a variety of tricks including shake, sit, army crawl, stay, say your prayers, and more.

Thomas Mulholland, a sophomore at Cheshire High School, is working with the Cheshire Historical Society, to convert a storage room in the society’s attic to its former status as Dormitory Room 10.

About 60 years ago, the (then) Phillips House was a dormitory for the Cheshire Academy. The conversion involves liaison with the

Cheshire Academy to learn how the room looked and who lived there, procuring donated items from the var-ious decades that the dor-mitory was used (the 1930s, 40s, 50s and 60s), and the usual painting and carpentry repair needed in the room. Messages and graffiti were written on the walls by for-mer residents. Thomas plans to paint around the writing

and protect the spots so peo-ple can view the comments.

The society located one of the original desks from the Episcopal Academy (the original name of the Cheshire Academy) along with a cer-tificate from that time, both pieces dating from the 1860s. These items plan to be dis-played in Dormitory Room 10.

Student launches historic dorm room project The Cheshire Historical Society’s third floor Dormitory Room 10 is transforming into a museum display at the Hitchcock-Phillips House. Stephen Mulholland, Tommy Ruszczyk and Thomas Mulholland are working on painting and carpentry repairs.See Dorm / Page 14

Girls basketballSheehan 49, Cheshire 41:

The emotions of Senior Night carried the Rams’ girls bas-ketball team to a nearly per-fect first quarter Friday night in an SCC Housatonic Divi-sion game against Sheehan, which had already wrapped up the division regular-sea-son crown.

But Cheshire could not maintain that intensity and

managed one 3-pointer during a stretch of 15:46 over parts of three quarters. Shee-han made adjustments and earned its fourth straight win with a 49-41 victory on the Rams’ court.

The Rams were shut out in the second quarter.

The Titans, who have won

five of their last six games, overcame a 23-11 deficit af-ter the first quarter and fash-ioned a 33-28 lead entering the fourth quarter. They fin-ished 8-0 in the Housatonic, while Cheshire fell to 4-3.

Julia Franzik sank five 3-point shots and went 3-for-3 from the foul line to lead Sheehan (16-3 overall) with 18 points. Joelle MarkAnthony

Ram Notes

Rams gird for postseason after winning Housy

CHESHIRE — Some mem-bers of the Cheshire basket-ball team didn’t get the word until practice on Sunday.

Shortly after the Rams won their 16th consecutive SCC Housatonic clash in method-ical fashion Friday night at Sheehan, Lyman Hall won a division victory for the first time in four seasons by top-pling Shelton. That combi-nation of events cinched the Rams’ second straight Housy crown and third in four years, making tonight’s home game against the Gaels a little less crucial.

Winning the Housy holds great importance to the Rams, perhaps a little more than most divisional con-quests. Before there was an SCC, there was a Housatonic Valley League that included Derby, Seymour, North Ha-ven, East Haven and Branford beyond the current grouping.

“There’s a lot of legacy with the Housatonic. It goes back long before the SCC,” Cheshire coach Dan Lee said. “We get people that come watch the game whose fathers and grandfathers par-

ticipated in the Housatonic League. Even though we’re in the SCC now, those rival-ries still run deep.”

The Rams are 7-0 in the Housy, but 11-6 overall. Be-cause they won the division last year and were assigned the first-place schedule, their SCC crossover games make No Man’s Land look like a state park. They’ve already lost to Hillhouse and Fairfield Prep at home. They’ll finish the season playing them on the road. Prep and the Acs have been in two of the last three Class LL finals at Mo-hegan Sun.

The Shelton game, there-fore, has major repercussions in terms of Cheshire’s post-season pursuits.

“Shelton’s a very good team,” Lee said. “They have three very good scorers in [Jeff ] Stockmal, [Matt] Terrasi and [Casey] Belade. We were fortunate to win down there (72-66 on Janu-ary 20) and we’re aware how tough it can be. Hopefully, we understand the importance of tomorrow’s game.”

While pride is a Housy byproduct, the power of the SCC primarily lies atop the

other three divisions. Hill-house is the class of the Ham-monasset Division by far.

Prep, Hamden and Xavier, with two double-digit wins over the Rams, give the Quinnipiac Division a loaded look. Career and Wilbur Cross perennially own the Oronoque.

Similar situations have played out in recent years.

Last year, Cheshire finished 8-0 in the Housy, 13-9 overall after losing in the first round of both the SCC Tournament (Notre Dame) and Class LL (Norwich Free Academy). In 2012-13, when the Rams were second in the Housy at 6-2, their overall mark was 11-12. The Rams won the Housy the previous year, but went 6-9 outside the division.

That’s what a grueling crossover schedule can do. Lee, however, wouldn’t have it any other way.

“When you get a No. 1 schedule like we have, it could be daunting and it is,” he said. “The players have come to the realization that it is what it is, but we embrace it as an opportunity. Last year

and Cassie Strickland each added 10 points.

Jill Howard’s 11 points paced the offense for Cheshire, which dropped to 11-8 with its second straight loss and third in the last four games. Prior to that, Cheshire had won five in a row.

“You never know how the girls are going to come out [emotionally] for Senior Night,” said Cheshire coach Sarah Mik. “I said to the play-ers to channel their emotions in the right way.

“In the first quarter, five seniors started and they all scored. It was exactly what you wanted to see. Then our emotions came off that high.”

The Titans were 13 of 16 from the free-throw line in the fourth quarter, and they were 17 of 22 (77.2 percent) for the game.

Cheshire 45, Shelton 38: Sara Como drained a 3-pointer and Ciara Haensel went 3-for-4 from the foul line as the Rams made the key fourth-quarter plays to earn the SCC Housatonic win in Shelton.

Haensel finished with a team-high 11 points for the Rams, who capped the regu-lar season at 12-8 overall and 5-3 in the Housy. They now

advance to the SCC tourna-ment and will face Guilford in the first round.

Shelton’s season, mean-while, is over at 6-14, 1-7. Against Cheshire, the Gaels were led by Casey O’Con-nor’s 16 points.

Boys basketball

Cheshire 66, Sheehan 58: Versatile junior Heath Post scored a game-high 23 points as the Rams scored a 66-58 victory over the Titans that placed them on the division throne for the second year running.

Cheshire (11-6, 7-0) has now won 16 straight Housa-tonic games and toppled the Titans (9-8, 3-5) for the ninth-straight time.

Post has brought his game to a higher level over the last week. He went 13-for-14 from the foul line, hauled down nine rebounds blocked three shots and altered numerous others. It followed a 14-point, 6-block, 5-steal performance in a win over Amity.

“Any coach will say our goal is to get better every game and he epitomizes that,” Cheshire coach Dan Lee said. “In preseason scrimmages, he had the skill set but the way he exploited the zone to-night? He made some great

interior passes, got some re-bounds, altered some shots. You had to be here to see it because he did so many little things.”

He had plenty of help. Dylan D’Addio, his light-ning-like first step forging pathways to the rim, had 14 points. Andrew Yamin had 10. The trio offset the production of Brandon Rentas (21) and Drew Gilmore (16).

Kyle Brennan had a three-point play and assisted on a hoop inside by Turner French for the Titans. Rentas and Gilmore also had buckets en-abling Sheehan to take a 9-4 lead.

The Rams responded with an efficient attack that poses match-up difficulties for most of their foes. Yamin and Post are equally comfortable on the perimeter or inside. Dylan D’Addio excels on the dribble drive. Justin Frazier is deadly from three-point range. They also displayed quality depth when center Matt Covel contributed two assists and a bucket early in the second quarter.

Both teams executed well offensively and shot in the 50-percent range, but foul problems for the Sheehan front court and the Rams’ versatility led to a 36-31 half-time advantage.

The Rams held a 52-46 lead through three and kept it there as the minutes melted away. Two hoops by Brad Landry fueled Titan come-back hopes, but D’Addio’s ex-plosive first step led to a steal and two buckets.

When Cheshire went into possession mode with three minutes left, the Titans only had three team fouls.

The Rams controlled the ball for nearly two minutes, neutralizing Sheehan’s abil-ity to generate a late offen-sive thrust.

Swimming and diving

Cheshire 95, Xavier 85: Kyle Shadeck won two in-dividual races and contrib-uted to two relay victories to

lead the undefeated Cheshire boys swimming team to a 95-85 SCC victory over Xavier at the Wesleyan pool.

Shadeck won the 100-yard butterfly in 55.32 and the 200 individual medley in 2:04.16.

He combined with Ryan Mostoller, Michael Goodrich and Jamie Eigner to post a 1:44.96 in the 200 medley re-lay. Shadeck also led off the victorious 400 freestyle relay (3:31.38) that featured Dara Malone, Ben Brewer and Karl Bishop.

Bishop was also a dou-ble-winner, touching first in the 200 freestyle (1:49.66) and 500 freestyle (4:57.25).

Brewer won the 100 back-stroke in 1:00.37.

Rams

,we lost seven games and ev-ery team that beat us was ranked in the top 10 at one time or another.

“We look at the next game as our most important game. They know it’s a challenge, but instead of looking at it as a negative, we look at it as a positive.”

The Rams graduated seven seniors and 80 percent of the scoring from last year’s team. The only returning starter, Andrew Yamin (12.5 points per game), battled an injury (broken thumb) and illness that cost him two weeks of valuable preseason practice time and three games at the end of January. The rest of the group, almost devoid of var-sity experience, has melded better than Lee could have anticipated.

Dylan D’Addio, a ju-

nior who made the most of mop-up duty last year, is a fearless slasher with enough range to stroke an occasional 3-pointer. He leads the team in scoring at 13.3 ppg. Justin Frazier (9.8 ppg., 24 treys) is the long-range threat.

“Coming in, we were hope-ful,” Lee said. “We had young players eager to step up, but we didn’t know. When you lose that much, it takes awhile, but they did it rather quickly.”

The growth of versatile junior Heath Post , who av-erages 11.8 points, including 17.4 over the last five games, has personified that of the team. But the most improved player, Lee says, is senior Brendan Clyne, part of a two-man rotation at center with Matt Covel.

While Clyne can score (6.8 ppg.), Covel provides the items that escape boxscore

jurisdiction.“Clyne came out last year

for the first time and we quickly identified him as a person who could be a big contributor,” Lee said. “He made his presence known in the middle and was diving after 50/50 balls. He does all the things we need him to do. That’s his mentality.

“Matt gives us a different look. He’s a great passer.”

Hard work and communi-cation are at the core, just as it must be with any success-ful team, but to win another Housy title required much more.

“If we’re going to compete we have to work hard, but that’s understood,” Lee said. “It’s not about what we say or preach. The team realizes it. We’ve been fortunate be-cause we have a high basket-ball IQ. We play fast. We keep practice at a high pace.

“A lot of talking needs to be done. If we don’t play as a team, we’re not going to be able to compete.”

How will it translate in the postseason? Lee’s teams are 61-47 overall over the last five seasons. The Rams have been seeded between eighth and 11th in the SCC Tourna-ment and gone 1-4. They’re 2-4 in Class LL, but they know they’ve seen the best of what the state has to offer and that experience could ignite a postseason run.

“I’m not sure I can quantify it, but from postseason per-spective, SCC teams tend to make it to the second round and the quarterfinals,” he said. Last season, Cheshire was seeded 18th, had to travel to Norwich and lost by one point on a shot in the waning seconds. The 26th-seeded Rams upset Simsbury by a point on the road in 2012-13

before losing at Bridgeport Central. The previous season they earned a home game with a 16th seed and beat Stamford handily before los-ing at St. Joseph in the second round.

But Lee stresses that what they accomplish on the court is the means to an end. There are better reasons for all their toil and time than elusive col-lege scholarships or the fleet-ing notion of making a living from the game itself.

“In the grand scheme of things, they’re not going to dribble into the real world,” Lee said. “Basketball becomes more than a league champi-onship. When you put this much effort into it, it means more than just basketball. Ef-fort and hard work. Wherever they go, those are skills that travel well. Working hard and accomplishing things rein-forces their importance.”
