Traub to lead CHS girls swim program Rams once again tap into Cheshire Y coaching pipeline By Greg Lederer Record-Journal staff
Dealing with turnover is an inevitable aspect of high school athletics. Coming into this year, the Cheshire girls swim and dive team knew it would need to make up for the graduation of 13 seniors.
Then, on Monday, Aug. 23, the Rams received news they didn’t see coming. Just three days before the start of practice, CHS announced that coach Dave Traub Modzelewski had resigned to become associate head coach of the YMCA of the North Shore Swim Club in Beverly, Mass.
With time being of the essence, Cheshire wasted little time in hiring a successor. On Wednesday, Aug. 25, Matt Traub was announced as the new Rams head coach. “It's really an honor to be trusted with such an incredible program,” said Traub. While Traub is a Torrington native, there is a distinct continuity in his hiring. Traub is on the Cheshire Y/ Sea Dog Swim Club staff, just like Modzelewski (2018-20) and his
predecessor, Dan Mascolo (201217). They followed program founder Ed Aston. In coaching from 1974 to 2011, Aston developed Cheshire into one of the top girls swimming programs in the country. “We’ve found that those coaches already know a lot of our kids and understand how the (Cheshire Community) pool operates,” Cheshire

Learning academy smart move for retirement community

Overwhelming demand has led a Cheshire resident to plan a second townwide tag sale to be held this month.
Courses taught by rocket scientists, painters and musicians are on the curriculum at Elim Park University, an inhouse academy for residents of the retirement community. “At Elim Park, we are a faith-based community and we think that God wants people to be prosperous in mind, body and spirit,” said Rob Cota, administrator of independent living. “ … It’s really important to give people opportunities to be involved as the whole person.” The university was launched in May with a slate of 10 courses largely taught by residents of the retirement community joined by staff, professors at local universities and other experts. The university’s second semester starts this month.

The spring semester saw 215 residents enroll in classes, over two-thirds of Elim Park’s 320 residents. One course on climate change drew so much interest it was held in the spacious music theater. The concept for the university was
prompted by the popularity of the classes residents taught on the retirement community’s internal TV network, EPTV, which was started during the pandemic as a way for residents to stay connected under pandemic restrictions. See Academy, A3
“It brings people to the area who haven't really been here and I think it's a fun thing to do with your family. I think Monroe kids love it because they set up lemonade stands or they can sell their own little toys,” said Joann Crosetti Monroe, a town resident organizing the tag sale. Dozens of residents will line their driveways with See Tag sale, A3

Athletic Director Steve Trifone said of the Cheshire Y/ Sea Dogs pipeline. “Matt has a great knowledge of swimming and we feel that he will do a great job for us.” Since most of the Cheshire swimmers also compete for the Sea Dogs, Traub feels that he has advantage in taking on his new position. “I know some of the girls from working with (Sea Dogs) and, hopefully, that familiarity with (them) will help the transition be smoother,” stated Traub.
Traub looks to build on Modzelewski’s success. Since 2018, Cheshire went 31-0 in dual meets to move the program’s win streak to 75. The Rams also captured three Southern Connecticut Conference titles. The Rams have also won three consecutive state crowns, the first two coming in Class L. In 2019, Cheshire went up to claim the Class LL title for the first time in a decade and won the State Open for the first time since 2004. Due to the pandemic, state meets weren’t held last year, but Cheshire posted its seventh perfect regular season in a row and came away victorious in the SCC final for the ninth consecutive season. Before leaving for Massachusetts, Modzelewski assisted in Cheshire’s first two practices of the fall season.

Incoming seniors Gabby Sokolik and Kaitlyn Grove have returned to co-captain the Rams. “We want to just focus on this season and I am sure the girls on the team will be able to step up to challenges as they come,” said Traub.

The CIAC is planning to hold a normal fall season in 2021. Swimmers and divers will still need to wear masks on the pool deck. Last year, Cheshire held eight of nine meets virtually, but this year’s schedule is comprised of all live competitions. “I’m excited for the girls to get to compete against another team in the pool,” said Trifone. “I thought the virtual contests worked well for what we wanted to do last year, but it will be great to have everyone together this season.”

After Kevin Reeder stepped down from that post earlier this year, Modzelewski coached on an interim basis. The Rams went 8-2 in dual meets, earning a share of the SCC Division I regular-season crown. CHS also placed fourth in the conference final. “We are taking candidates now for the boys position,” said Trifone. “We have more time to go through that process.”

goods for sale on Sept. 18, with the following day slated as a rain date. Those interested in participating can contact Monroe at 203-687-6978 and give their address, hours of their tag sale and whether they will participate on the rain date.
Dorothy Dupont, a resident who taught her first group watercolor class in the spring, said every resident has decades of experience to offer.
After the Sept. 10 registration deadline, Monroe will create a map with the address of each tag sale. The map will be posted on Facebook groups centered on the Cheshire community. A similar event Monroe organized on May 1 had about 80 tag sales.

Here our world is open and I'm very grateful for that.” Shank also enrolled in Dupont’s watercolor course and the one on climate change. “We’re trying to keep up with the modern information...we have an opportunity to think about it and learn about the different things that are happening,” she said. dleithyessian@ record-journal.com 203-317-2317 Twitter: @leith_yessian
“It was such a success, I could not believe how many addresses I got,” she said. While visiting some of the tag sales in May, she saw a wide variety of items for sale, including furniture, kayaks and toys. For some families, selling unused items brought in money to help pay the bills. She encouraged participants who didn’t need the extra income to consider donating some of their proceeds to local charities. Monroe was inspired to hold the May tag sale by a similar event she attended in Prospect a few years ago. Since many residents spent more time at home during the pandemic, she felt a tag sale would help with spring cleaning.
Walsh encouraged Monroe to hold another sale in the fall to coincide with the town’s bulk pickup collection, so that any large items that residents couldn’t sell can be easily scheduled for removal. He also hopes the sale lightens the volume of bulk waste that the town collects, potentially saving taxpayers money. dleithyessian@record-journal.com 203-317-2317 Twitter: @leith_yessian

The president admitted that the collapse of the Afghan national government had happened sooner than expected. Sen. Chris Murphy, a Democrat, agreed with Biden’s decision to withdraw troops and end the two-decade war. With the difficult situation, Murphy said the evacuation of more than 70,000 people was a significant achievement. With only 2,500 troops in Afghanistan and few allies in the country, Murphy said in a statement Wednesday that ending the U.S. presence was important.

REMEMBERING 9/11: FALL FEST WILL PAUSE TO HONOR 20TH ANNIVERSARY by John Rook Herald Staff There’s no shortage of smiles and laughter during the Cheshire Fall Festival and Marketplace. The annual event, arguably the most anticipated in town throughout the year, brings residents together to enjoy some food, music, activities, entertainments of all kinds, and a little browsing at different vendor and crafter booths. It’s the very definition of family fun. But this year, the festivities will be interrupted,
if only briefly, for a very special recognition. At noon on Saturday, Sept. 11, everything will pause for a few minutes as those attending the festival come together to mark the 20th anniversary of 9/11. “For us, it was very important to have this recognition,” said Town Manager Sean Kimball. “We wanted to do it during the part of the day when there would be the most people (attending the festival). It provides an opportunity to pause and reflect.” On Sept. 11, 2001, terrorists attacked the
Cheshire
World Trade Center in New York City, the Pentagon in Washington, D.C., and crashed a plane in the fields of Pennsylvania – United Airlines Flight 93 – after passengers on that flight, having learned of the prior attacks, tried to take back control of the aircraft. Approximately 3,000 individuals died on 9/11, marking the worst terrorist attacks on American soil in history. Cheshire Chamber of Commerce President Yetta Augur, echoed Kimball’s sentiments, stating that, since 2021

At approximately noon, all activities on both the main and secondary stages will halt. A flag will be raised on the north side of Bartlem Park by a local fire engine, right around where members of the Police and Fire Departments usually park, Augur explained. The “National Anthem” will be sung at that time, and there will be bagpipers performing.
For Augur, having Cheshire’s emergency personnel take part means all the more after the pandemic, as so many were asked to once again go above and beyond in order to help citizens in need.

marks the 20th anniversary of the attacks, the Festival felt it could not let the occasion go unnoticed.
“What we’ve been through the last year and a half—our first responders, our heroes, it really brings to life how special they are,” said Augur. “It has reminded us once again that, when
everyone is running away, they are the ones running towards (the danger).” Kimball also hopes people use the special remembrance as a way to reflect on how courageous first responders were on 9/11, and continue to be each and every day. He’s also hopeful the day will remind people of what the country was like in the immediate aftermath of 9/11, when togetherness seemed to take hold. “I was studying abroad in Italy when 9/11 occurred,” recalled Kimball, “and being abroad at such a time, when such an enormous thing has happened to your home country, that was a unique experience. I just remember coming back….and the flags were everywhere. Everyone had their American flag out.” To replicate that, Kimball asked that the flags hung around Cheshire, that usually get taken down around Labor Day in anticipation of the approaching autumn season, be kept up through the Fall Festival and 9/11 remembrance. “I just remember what it was like to see those flags up,” he said. “It was poignant to see.”

The much-anticipated Cheshire Fall Festival is finally back after a year-long hiatus due to COVID-19 restrictions.
The childrens tent will be host to activities led by Cheshire YMCA volunteers; a child-friendly clown who will be making balloon animals; and even a scarecrow photo opportunity to highlight the second annual Cheshire Scarecrow contest hosted by Artsplace, taking place later this fall.
Cheshire Chamber of Commerce President Yetta Augur is excited to bring back the popular event, and is ready for Cheshire residents to see all that they have to offer this year. “It is just so wonderful that we are able to finally put this on this year,” Augur said. “People are so happy to be a part of this, we are nearly full this year with vendors, which is incredible.”
on Sept. 11.
“Because our event is entirely outside, we are not requiring anyone to wear a mask,” Augur said. “We want people to make the decision that’s right for them.”
Because the date of the festival falls on Sept. 11, the Chamber of Commerce will be holding a special 9/11 remembrance event to honor those who lost their lives on that day.
In addition to the festival, the Cheshire Chamber of Commerce will also have their yearly Car Show, hosted by Richard Chevrolet. The show will be held across the street, at Cheshire High School,
The Cheshire Fall Festival will begin on Friday, Sept. 10, from 5 p.m. to 11p.m., and continue on Saturday, Sept. 11, from 8:30 a.m. to dusk.

The Cheshire Fall Festival is a two-day event (Sept. 10 and 11) held at Bartlem Park every September, where local Cheshire businesses, residents, and organizations get together to celebrate the upcoming fall season. The event wouldn’t be complete without the Kiwanis Club Carnival, which attracts dozens of Cheshire families every year.
“We will even have scarecrow stuffing and making demonstrations for people who want to get involved in the contest this year,” Augur added. Last year the contest had over 70 participants, with Best Overall Scarecrow going to both James Talbott on South Main St, and Automotive Edge on Highland Ave.

KIWANIS CARNIVAL PROMISES THRILLS FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY The Kiwanis Club of Cheshire will hold its annual carnival Friday, Sept. 10, 6 p.m. to closing, and Saturday, Sept. 11, 10 a.m. to closing, at Bartlem Recreation Area on Route 10, across from Cheshire High School. The carnival rides are provided by Imperial Shows. The carnival offers a variety of family rides for young and old, and is one of the club’s major fundraising events each year. The money raised by the Kiwanis Club goes back into the community to support many youth-oriented activities, such as youth sports teams, leadership training programs, reading programs, Boy Scout and Girl Scout troops, an annual bike safety program, and $3,000 in scholarships for graduating high school students pursuing higher education. This community service organization also supports many senior citizen activities.
Kiwanis International celebrated its 100th anniversary in 2015. The community service organization was formed in 1915 in Detroit, Michigan and today has clubs with volunteer members across the globe who are dedicated to carrying out the organization’s primary goal of “serving the children of the world.”
CAR SHOW This year’s car show is expected to be bigger and better than ever. Sponsored by Richard Chevrolet and the assistance of Constitution State Classics, this event is sure to provide something to admire for every kind of car enthusiast in the area.
The show will run Saturday near the Chapman property. Come see what all the “noise” is about before or after checking out local vendors and crafters at The Cheshire Fall Festival & Marketplace on Saturday, Sept. 11.
The local Kiwanis Club of Cheshire invites you to join and take part in the fun and rewarding experience of volunteer service to your Cheshire community. Giving back, paying forward, serving our fellow citizens—however it is expressed—is a most notable aspect of everyone’s journey through life. On Saturday, the carnival will be held in conjunction with the annual Cheshire Festival & Marketplace, sponsored by the Town of Cheshire and Cheshire Chamber of Commerce, at Bartlem Recreation Area. Come for family fun all three days!

News Briefs Martelli is named economic coordinator Andrew Martelli is the town’s new economic coordinator and grant writer. He takes over from Jerry Sitko, who retired earlier in the summer after 30 years working in Cheshire. Martelli currently serves on the Board of Education and has had an active role with the School Modernization Committee project. He will remain on the school board. His credentials include a degree in urban and community studies from the University of Connecticut and over 15 years of municipal development experience for Charter
Oak Environmental Services and Waterbury Development Corporation. Town Manager Sean Kimball hired Martelli, who was introduced to the Town Council in his new capacity, at the panel’s Aug. 10 meeting. Martelli’s official first day was Aug. 9. A Cheshire native, Martelli called the position a “dream job.” He and council members praised Sitko for his contributions to the town over the years.
Union contract okayed The Town Council approved a new labor contract for the town employees union at its Aug. 10 meeting.
The decision came after a nearly two-hour long executive session. The agreement covers 70 town hall and public works employees who are members of the Council 4 American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees Union and will provide a wage increase “retroactive to Jan. 1, 2021, at 2.3%,” according to Councilor Sylvia Nichols, who went over the particulars of the new deal. The contract includes a 2% wage increase from July 1, 2021, 2022, and 2023. There will be a signing bonus which will address the fact that the contract was not signed at a reasonable time, according to Nichols.
Nichols explained that the health premium cost shares will increase from 9% to 13% and the open access plan will rise from 16% to 20%. The signing bonus will be $650. There also were agreements made on various other benefits such as: holidays that are going to be exchanged for other holidays or days off; retirement incentives; and some employees are going to pay for their participation in a long-term disability policy. The motion to approve the contract passed unanimously. — Record-Journal staff

EDITORIAL
Condemning disruption of Gov. Lamont’s event The free exchange of ideas is cherished in the United States. It’s something the nation draws strength from, and it’s something worth defending. But what happened recently in Cheshire was not so much a free exchange but a disruption, and as such it should be condemned. The way to get your point across ought not to involve
shouting profanities or hectoring officials, but that’s what happened when Connecticut Gov. Ned Lamont came to Cheshire for a backto-school roundtable discussion.
that those not vaccinated would be required to show a weekly negative COVID-19 test to go to work or school. A Lamont executive order, expiring Sept. 30, requires that masks be worn in schools.
Things “turned sour” at Highland Elementary School, as the Cheshire Herald (and Record-Journal) reported, when Dr. Deidre Gifford, Connecticut’s acting public heath commissioner, said
While officials were attempting to answer questions, members of the public began to shout. The shouted comments included “I can’t hear you, take off your mask” and “are we in Nazi Germany?”
CROSSWORD ANSWER
SUDOKU ANSWER
Attempts to quiet the crowd proved fruitless, so Cheshire Superintendent of Schools
Jeff Solan abruptly ended the question-and-answer session. “While we tried to have some sort of decorum, it was incredibly disappointing that a few of Cheshire’s residents decided to be so disrespectful,” said Solan. Disappointing, certainly, but it was also embarrassing and shameful. The disrespectful behavior continued after the meeting. Lamont had to be escorted out as protesters continued to shout profanities. It became what state Rep. Liz Linehan described as a “dan-
gerous situation.”
“Our society relies on a free exchange of ideas, respect, and listening to each other’s point of view and perspectives,” she said. “Unfortunately, a few individuals prevented that from happening today.” The gathering became a lesson in how not to behave. Now it’s time to learn from that lesson. This editorial was previously published in the Record-Journal.

A Cheshire friend and I were talking about our town the other day. Specifically, we were talking about the people in this town. She speculated that she would stay here once the kids move on and out. (If they do, that is. I knew one parent whose kid stayed and lived in their basement until he was 40.) Now, my friend said although some people set their retirement sights on Florida or North Carolina or Arizona, she could not imagine leaving this town. She’s moved several times and has lived in several communities. This town and, moreover, her street is different. It is special, we agreed. It’s special because of the people in it. There is a bond here, a web of community that you don’t necessarily come across in other towns. Someone needs something and all they have to do is ask. Someone or several someone’s will volunteer, no matter if the request is for a material thing, like borrowing a kids’ hockey helmet, or if the need is for a ride or to pick up something.
