Estimates to fix police station mold problem exceed budget By Michael Gagne Record-Journal staff

As police Chief Neil Dryfe led a reporter through the Cheshire Police Department’s headquarters, Aug. 22, toward the building’s lower level, the air grew noticeably muggy. Dryfe walked past a few dehumidifiers that had been located throughout the

building. “You can see from walking around there’s water spots, mold, this hallway in particular,” Dryfe said, pointing toward ceiling panels. An early estimate projected the total cost to replace the building heating, ventilation and air conditioning system and to enlarge the women’s locker room would be much

greater than originally projected. After the Town Council had requested fast-tracking the work, architecture firm Silver / Petrocelli and Associates last week floated two options to replace the HVAC Police Chief Neil Dryfe gives a tour of the Cheshire Police system and the architectural Department headquarters on Highland Avenue. Dryfe improvements, one at a points out ceiling panels along the building’s basement $875,000 cost and a second level damaged by mold and moisture.

New Hartford HealthCare building to open soon

By Michael Gagne Record-Journal staff

Dr. Niamey Wilson is among the doctors who will soon be seeing patients at Hartford HealthCare’s new two-floor 50,000-square-foot health center at 280 S. Main St. when it opens this fall. “It’s wonderful to be able to provide this kind of care in the setting we have in Cheshire,” said Wilson, also a town resident. Wilson, director of Breast Surgery Quality & Research for the Hartford HealthCare Cancer Institute, was referring to the type of medical care some patients assume is only available at large city-based hospitals. “I know I can provide the highest quality breast care to patients and I don’t have to be in a big city or hospital to do that,” Wilson said. Work began on the project — previously estimated to cost $15 million — last year.

Hartford HealthCare is the building’s tenant. Cheshire Medical Associates LLC, a subsidiary of Casle Corporation in Avon, is the building’s owner and the entity with which the town has agreed to a seven-year tax abatement agreement. Under the agreement, which will become effective once town officials sign off on a certificate of occupancy, Cheshire Medical Associates would receive a tax reduction of 50% of the building’s assessed value. Town property records currently list that assessed value as a little more than $6.2 million. The building appears close to completion. Earlier this week, contracSee Hartford Healthcare, A3

Of the 40 proposed capital projects Town Council members discussed on Tuesday night, Aug. 20, at least six would require the approval of town voters on the November ballot. Those projects include $310,000 to upgrade security in school and municipal buildings. Voters will also decide whether to fund $1.7 million in road improvements and a $1.8 million project to repair the West Johnson Bridge. A state Department of Transportation inspection of the bridge revealed a vertical crack in a beam above one of its abutments. Including the referendum items, the town’s capital budget request for this fiscal year totals more than $11.5 million. At a special meeting Aug. 27, the council was expected to adopt that capital budget, approve the See Projects, A2

A summer well spent By Joy Vanderlek The Cheshire CItizen

What a summer. Hot as a blistering blast furnace at times – some folks couldn’t wait for that part to be over and done. But summer also has been magnificent. The weather allowed an almost non-stop, back-toback smorgasbord of events and outdoor fun. How can it be summer’s end already? No matter we’re perched on the edge of the fall season, let’s take another look at what made this summer especially memorable before we run into Labor Day. This summer was one of accomplishments, a pretty big one, too, for Cheshire High School junior Nate Pelletier. The Cheshire Citizen

caught up with him while he was canvassing sponsors with his fellow CHS Marching Ram Band members. Pelletier said he worked long hours sanding his baby – an ’84 Dodge Ram 150 pick-up truck. “It only has 38,000 miles on it,” Pelletier said. The prep work was well worth it. Pelletier then had it sent out for professional painting and it’s mint. What a ride. Pelletier also got in some R&R over the summer.

An ocean view, like this one at Narragansett Bay, Rhode Island, was on the agenda for some vacationers this summer.

“I went to Hammonasset and go kayaking and fishing. I love that,” he said. Jean Gillotti’s summer highlight was Ball and Socket’s “Evening in White.” About 200 people attended the August event. “It was amazing. Beauti-

Lily and Jack Fogg take a break at Cheshire Park. The Fogg family, of Burlington, had many adventures over the summer.

September spotlight on emergency preparedness

Summer From A4

For Abbey Fogg and her three children, Lily, Jack and the youngest, 5-year-old Hunter are Burlington residents who were enjoying Monday’s beautiful weather at Cheshire Park while running errands in town. Their family summer raves were Vermont and Rhode Island. The family enjoyed getting in a lot of beach time in with an Airbnb in Narragansett and visiting with relatives in the far reaches of Vermont.

When the Cold War came to town

By Mitzi Romano

(This week , the History Hound with Mitzi Romano for the Cheshire Historical Society, returns to the Quirky Landmark’s of Cheshire. These stories tell the somewhat odd and mostly undiscovered Cheshire trivia that lies in plain sight in your everyday travels. Today’s tale is called “What Lies Beneath.”) It’s difficult to miss the AT&T Tower on Higgins Road. When the leaves are off the trees, it can be seen clearly from Prospect Ridge (above Roaring Brook Falls) and from the top of Wood Hill Road, near the Merwin Circle intersection in the Strathmore Woods subdivision. This area is now listed as a cell site (mobile phones). The story goes that the structure was originally built in 1966 as an underground terminal and station for the coaxial cable that ran from Miami to New England –

carrying general toll circuits and critical military communication circuits. And that’s just where the story gets interesting.

According to the website Coldwar-Ct.com, this tower was part of the critical global military communications network and linked to the Navy Sub Base in New London. This local connection housed the Northeastern Area Restoration Center, manned 24 hours per day. Did you know that there are actually two levels under the tower? These were designed to provide underground shelter on site for up to 30 days. These levels include a kitchen, a cafeteria, and survival equipment to be used in the event of a nuclear attack. Former Cheshire resident Ernie Ostuno said, “I remember watching them build it. We moved from Higgins Road to Oak Avenue the year it was built. I was

about four years old but I recall a giant truck hauling the two huge horn-like antennae up the hill on Higgins Road to be placed atop the tower. Those are gone now. In the fall of 1974 they had an open house and we toured the underground bunker. The Cold War paranoia was still in effect and I often wondered if the ICBMs (intercontinental ballistic missiles) were spot-

ted incoming whether we would have time to get to the bunker and if we would be let in. The hill around the tower is great for sledding. I remember sliding all the way down to Ward Lane after an ice storm back in the ‘70s.”

HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL PRESEASON

The Rams also host this year’s Apple Classic and will be looking to snap Southington’s seven-year hold on the Thanksgiving rivalry. It’s plenty to fire the engines and, in a nutshell, Cheshire goes into the campaign at the opposite pole from a year ago, when 27 graduated

Author gives analysis of unsolved murder By Terry Sutton Special to The Citizen

It was Aug. 20, 1995 only days before the start of the new school year when two teen-aged girls made a horrific discovery. They were walking along Notch Road when they noticed the body of a deceased woman down an embankment. Eventually, a law enforcement investigation would reveal the woman had been murdered due to blunt force trauma to the head.

“In determining whether the murder of Lori Delgado was the work of a serial killer, the investigators would focus on the manner in which she was killed, and the location and presentation of the body when it was discovered,” Howard explained. “She was killed by blunt force trauma; this is out of keeping with the unsolved murders of the other prostitutes that have been investigated by the Connecticut Homicide Task Force since 1991. Those women were strangled, shot or stabbed. Lori was bludgeoned to death, and this in-

In a press conference shortly after her death, Cheshire police revealed that they believed the victim had been murdered elsewhere and dumped in the spot where she was found.

At first the murder was investigated by Cheshire police, however, according to Lt. Michael Durkee, the Connecticut State Police are now the primary investigators.

Howard said it’s possible the murder could have resulted when the killer lost control of his impulses – and this could have resulted from a failed transaction regarding a paid sex act or even the transfer of drugs. “Lori's killer probably transported her (body) to another location to conceal the

crime and distance himself from it,” Howard said, of a possible scenario. “The fact that she was stripped of her clothing could indicate that she was sexually assaulted either before or after the murder, or perhaps the killer simply wanted to leave her in a degrading position. Additionally, the killer may have held on to her personal effects as a kind of souvenir to mark his grisly deed.” According to an Aug. 31, 1995 Watertown Town Times story, law enforcement did look at a man who lived in

their town, in regards to the Delgado homicide. The paper stated that there was police activity that involved digging up parts of the man’s yard as well as retrieving items inside his house. The person was identified in the paper but was never named in other news sources as a suspect. The person was never charged and is now deceased. It is not known if police have looked at other individuals as being responsible for the unsolved murder. Several messages were left with the See Author, A14

Police call cameras ‘invaluable’ Rise of home video surveillance systems provides useful information to police, residents By Lauren Sellew Record-Journal staff

When a woman was reported missing in Wallingford over the summer, police canvassed the area looking for leads. Officers found a nearby resident who had an outdoor video system. Footage showed the woman had been in the area. The video helped police track the woman, who was later found safe, Lt. Cheryl Bradley said. This was just one recent instance of residential video systems being used to help police in their everyday work. “It’s invaluable,” Bradley said of the video systems, such as the self-install doorbell camera Ring. “The quality of the newer systems are great. You can get a crystal clear picture, even at night.”

option at $1.5 million. The first option would replace the HVAC system, but leave most of the existing ductwork. The second option calls for replacing all of the existing ductwork. The town’s capital budget request, yet to be adopted, had put aside about $750,000 for the work in two separate phases. The first year had $75,000 budgeted for the HVAC work. Town Council members expressed frustration, noting the same company had conducted both studies. Rob Oris Jr., the council’s chairman, found that revelation problematic. “I’m very frustrated by this. I’m very frustrated with this firm right now and I’m very frustrated with the process,” he said. The need for the upgrades became apparent a year ago, when officers were reporting mold accumulation and muggy conditions in their locker rooms. One female officer found mold had accumulated on the vest she had left hanging in the locker room during the two days she had off. On another occasion, boots that had been stored in the de-

partment’s evidence room were found covered with a ring of white mold. Town officials attempted to address the conditions by installing dehumidifiers and hiring cleaners to sanitize the building. Last August, Cheshire police union President Kevin Costa sent Dryfe a memo requesting an air quality test. The test confirmed excessive mold and humidity in the air, but not at dangerous levels. Dryfe noted a significant portion of the building’s lower level, including the locker rooms and gym area, is underground. The mold and humidity issues “really came to a head last summer when we had some hot and humid days,” he added. Dryfe could request the town replace the rotting ceiling panels. “Eighteen months from now,

it’s going to be the same thing,” he said. “We’ll be replacing them again. It’s a larger issue than that. Sometimes when it’s really humid, this floor gets condensation to the point where it’s wet and it’s slippery — to the point where we drag out the ‘caution wet floor’ signs.” The department’s female officers and other female staff have a crammed locker room and bathroom area. The men’s locker room is about four times larger. Both rooms could be expanded with lockers to accommodate the extra gear officers have to carry. “There’s not enough room in lockers for people to hang their stuff, so you got stuff hanging on walls here in what is essentially a bathroom — radio chargers and stuff, boots and things — sitting on one single shower stall, right here, next to the lockers,” Dryfe said.

Grant

And that’s exactly what she did.

From A14

The program for third-year students lead to the development of another program for fourth-year students before they finally applied for the Rural Residency Planning and Development Program grant. Quinnipiac was one of 27 schools to receive a small portion of the entire $20 million available.

sor spearheading this program, is already thinking about where the money needs to go. “Medicine and education are very expensive businesses so we have to make sure everyone remains in a comfortable financial place,” she said. “We have to think about construction. We need an actual spot to put residents. You have to think about teaching faculty, all the rules and regulations that come with the grant and residency certification.”

The idea for establishing the program at Fort Kent came from Dr. Marquis-Eydman’s own personal connection with the town: it was where she grew up.

“It’s a nice melding of my personal life and my profesThe idea for this program sional life that this has come came to Dr. Marquis-Eydto be. It’s going to be helpman only three months after ing my community and she had joined the Quinnipi- helping my school,” she ac staff back in 2016. said.

“I went to an Association of American Colleges meeting and heard Atul Gawande speak. Amongst docs, he’s a legend,” Marquis-Eydman said. “As a general surgeon he speaks of the importance of primary care and he speaks of the inequities in healthcare access.”

According to the United States Census Bureau, the town of Fort Kent has a population of less than 4,000. Additionally, Aroostook County, where Fort Kent is located, has a reported poverty rate of 17.6% as of 2018. That’s over the national average of 12.3%.

Marquis-Eydman said according to Gawande the U.S. was making headway in terms of increasing life expectancy in all but one demographic: rural America.

But Fort Kent is only one piece of Quinnipiac’s residency program in development. Marquis-Eydman said there also is outreach to St. Vincent’s Medical Center in Bridgeport. The goal is to have residents complete one year of urban residency and then another two of rural residency.

A study published in January in the American Journal of Public Health concluded that “the rural-urban mortality disparity was persistent, growing, and large when compared to other place based disparities.” This was particularly true in highpoverty rural areas where life expectancy penalties “rivaled the effects of education and exceeded the effects of race by 2016.” “When he said that rural America was actually going the opposite way as the rest of America it just struck me to my core,” said Dr. Marquis-Eydman. “So I turned to my colleague and said ‘Why don’t we start a longitudinal, third-year experience for our students where they immerse themselves in the culture and the people’.”

“We had a commitment to train as many primary care physicians as possible,” said Dr. Bruce Koeppen, dean of the school of medicine. “This program fits very well with our mission statement and will improve the health and well being of the people in the Fort Kent community.” Marquis-Eydman and Koeppen also said they hope the Fort Kent program will cause more residents to stay in the Fort Kent community to practice there. According to a report from the AAMC, 51% of residents end up practicing in states where See Grant, A17

Bradley said, the video allows police to get a physical description and images that can be used to help investigations. Bradley said residents are glad to share the videos from their systems with officers, and oftentimes, if they hear of an incident in their area, they will call the department to offer their video. Wallingford resident Dawn Thomas, who lives on North Whittlesey Avenue, got the Ring doorbell camera because of all the car break-ins on her street. “So many neighbors have it and we share information,” Thomas said. “...

they complete their residency program. “It’s great for the community, the town itself, it’s energy. It’s more people coming in and bringing their families and maybe those families will stay and keep the town healthy and running,” Marquis-Eydman said. “For me I don’t really see a downside. It’s just getting from A to Z that’s the work.”

with the Police Department.” Southington Lt. Stephen Elliott said he’s noticed an increase in video surveillance in recent years. In the past, some businesses had video systems, but now almost every business does and many more homes are installing them, Elliott said. Officers canvass areas after a crime is reported and one of the things they come across now are residents with video systems. Elliott said officers will give residents advice if they ask for ways to keep their homes safe, such as keeping shrubs trimmed from windows, keeping a light on, and, if it is financially feasible and they are comfortable with it, getting a video system.

Cameras From A17

Meriden police recently posted a request on social media for home security footage of several streets related to a homicide investigation. Police posted a list of streets and said they were looking for video recordings from a specific date and time surrounding the incident on Sunday, Aug. 11.

“There are a number of people who have caretakers,” Yuza said of elderly family members or children being cared for inside the home by outside help. Yuza said the pricing has become more attractive for many people, and some of the systems they offer can record for up to a month at a time. Residents are able to give the video straight from their system to police, but Yuza said the company is also able to help if the resident has any problems getting the recordings.

Last month, officers obtained video from a neighbor after a tractor-trailer struck the house next door at 484 Preston Ave. Video showed the tractor-trailer passing the neighbor’s home in the moments before the crash.

Police database In Berlin, the Police Department keeps a database of residential cameras called Community Assistance in Response to Stolen cars/ property, or CARS, which was launched in 2017 following a rash of car breakins. Residents can voluntarily provide the location of a camera and a contact person who can access the video. No information is shared outside of the department. Police Chief John Klett said

MERIDEN 203.238.7968

the department is still using the database, but he was unsure of the participation level. The sergeant in charge of the program was not available for comment. Residents often post their footage to social media after an incident is captured in the hopes of community members identifying the culprit. Bradley said police can review footage from social media, but they prefer to get it from the resident, noting that in some cases the video

can provide the only lead in a case. Wallingford resident Rob Sprafke said he purchased a home video system on sale last year and has been happy with it since. “It’s just another thing you don’t have to be worried about,” Sprafke said, “especially with the rash of breakins we had this spring.” lsellew@record-journal.com 203-317-2225 Twitter: @LaurenSellewRJ

Cheshire Academy elects trustees At its June board meeting, the Cheshire Academy Board of Trustees elected two new trustees: Jennifer Freedman P ‘15, an active volunteer and philanthropist; and Elliott Yang ‘04, a private equity professional. Each will serve fouryear terms beginning in the 2019-20 school year. Freedman, of Westport, has served in leadership roles and on boards of several notable organizations. She is a board member of Pink Aid, a Connecticut-based organization that supports women being treated for breast cancer. She is also president and a board member of Birchwood Country Club, which was recently named one of the top nine-hole golf facilities in the country. She served as president of the Dean’s Parent and Family Council for the

University of Chicago and on the Wake Forest University Parents’ Council. A former psychotherapist, Freedman holds degrees in psychology, including M.S. and M.A. degrees from Columbia University, and a B.A. degree from University of Vermont. She has two children, Lauren Freedman, Cheshire Academy class of 2015, and Max Freedman. Her husband, Michael Freedman served as a Cheshire Academy trustee from 2011-16. Yang, of Los Angeles, works as a senior associate at TriLinc Global, an impact investing firm. He graduated from Cheshire Academy in 2004 and went on to receive his B.B.A in finance and investments from Baruch College in 2009 and a M.A. in Applied Economics

from Georgetown University in 2012. Yang also completed the relevant coursework for a M.S in Applied Mathematics at New York University. Yang and his wife, Adele, have two children. Cheshire Academy’s board is made up of 18 trustees and includes several alumni, parents and parents of alumni, who hail from the United States and abroad. As trustees, Freedman and Yang will make themselves available to the Head of School and provide their support, management perspective, and advice on financial and governance issues, and they will serve on various standing and ad-hoc committees in support of strategic initiatives. — Submitted
