Council extends unsafe properties ordinance
COMMENTARY
Life-changing trip to Bangladesh By Kavin Kathir Special to The Citizen
I’m a sophomore at Cheshire Academy and with support from a Venture Grant at Cheshire Academy, I recently went on a volunteer trip to the Bangladesh branch of Distressed Children and Infants International in Dhaka.
By Michael Gagne Record-Journal staff
The trip taught me many things and changed the way I think about my life.
Fire Marshal John Andrews, who serves as premises safety enforcement officer as a result of the ordinance, said it has been helpful in addressing complaints.
When I looked down at the small stone stove and the poor living conditions of the slum in Dhaka, Bangladesh, I was reminded of everything I took for granted daily in my comfortable home in Cheshire. This was one of many lessons I was able to learn on my trip to this developing country filled with great people. Before the trip, however, my work at DCI was small. I was in 6th grade when I first started, and happy to do any work that would contribute to the organization.
It’s been more than a year since the town enacted an unsafe structure and premises ordinance.
Kavin Kathir, center, a student at Cheshire Academy, poses with some of the people he met during a recent volunteer trip to Bangladesh.

Through DCI, I also started sponsoring a child in Bangladesh by using the
money I earned doing chores. As a result, my sponsored child could be a student and not a laborer. Gradually, I became more and more involved in the organization as well. I had a spot on the committee for the International Food Festival, and helped in planning it so it could raise awareness in Cheshire. This work taught me many
“In the past, it would have been a very long, drawn-out court process to get it done,” he said. “But in the meantime you still have an unsafe building sitting there. So this ordinance gives us an almost immediate ability to take

NOTEWORTHY GARDEN After its regular monthly September meeting, members of the Cheshire Garden Club drove over to Dave and Janet Andrews’ property on Payne Drive to tour the gardens out front and in the back of the couple’s home. With its profusion of color and the multitude of annuals, perennials, shrubs and trees, the landscaping was dubbed “astounding,” by club members. The visual impact was accompanied by the sound of the gentle flowing water of a brook coursing throughout the front garden. The consensus from members was that Cheshire Garden Club members on a recent visit to Dave Cheshire Garden Club recently declared the they’d just seen the most beautiful and Janet Andrews’ property on Payne Drive, from left Sue gardens at Dave and Janet Andrews’ property on garden in town.

The group will be led by Constellation Hospice’s Jan Cowles, and Jan Garthwait and Frank Scinto, trained Stephen Ministers. There is no charge, but pre-registration is required by calling the church office at 203-2725323. All you need to bring is yourself, which is the courageous first step.

Republican Town Chairman Guy Darter also emailed the Record-Journal a copy of a letter, which was dated Oct. 2 and addressed to Town Clerk Laura Brennan, through which Brushett stated he was withdrawing his candidacy.
“One of the most rewarding things you can do as a councilman is to help solve people’s problems,” he added. “Really that’s why we have district candidates — so you have people who are embedded within a district.”

“Mr. Brushett volunteered his time to this effort because he loves Cheshire, as we all do. He stated, ‘I realized there are better ways for me to help my community and I’m confident in the current council’s ability to govern our town,’” the announcement read.
“This season, the fall season is always a good opportunity to go out and talk with constituents. That’s not going to change,” Talbot said. “Connecting with the people in my district is very important. I’ve always been accessible, whether it’s by email, phone calls or visits to my front door steps — that’s all part of the deal of being on the Town Council.

day, Oct. 26, 2 p.m. This seminar will deal with the physiological benefits of laughter, studies on the mind-body connection, and practical (plus some not-sopractical!) suggestions on ways to bring more laughter into your life. The lecture combines scientific data with comedy, in an effort to provide a mirth-provoking educational experience. Joyce Saltman is a professor Emeritus of Special Education at Southern Connecticut State University in New Haven and a former Cheshire resident. Her experience in the areas of education, therapy, and comedy
has provided an outstanding background for her research on “The Therapeutic Value of Laughter.” Since 1983, when Joyce began lecturing on “Laughter,” she has been interviewed by national radio and TV. Her dynamic seminars and articles, always peppered with humor, address such topics as dealing with difficult people, laughter as therapy, parenting, and relationships. Her goal is to enlighten, educate, and entertain while the audience laughs. Joyce has been speaking on laughter and related uplifting topics since 1983.

Though maybe I cannot stop world hunger or eliminate war, I believe that I can impact the world by helping others one small step at a time and DCI has really fueled that belief and put it into action.

Possibly my favorite part of the trip was the time I spent with everyone in the Sun Child Home orphanage. I was welcomed in right from Day 1. Every day, I would teach a different grade English and help with homework, writing, reading, and conversational English. Some days we would also celebrate events, such as the surprise birthday party that was thrown for me, and the International Youth Day Celebration. Everyone called me ‘bhaiya’, which means ‘brother’ in Bangla, signifying the type of bond between us. The skills I learned from early DCI work still are with me and help me in school and in life to be more efficient and successful as a student. Before this experience, my parents would sometimes tell me how lucky I am, but I could never really understand that. I now truly see how lucky and privileged we are in America, compared to how things are in some other countries.

care of the situation.” Since the ordinance was enacted, two structures — a more than 100-year-old red wooden barn, on the verge of collapse, at 279 Fenn Road, and a decrepit, ramshackle garage set back in the yard at 369 Spring St. — have been demolished without needing to penalize the property owners, Andrews said. For at least one of those property owners, compliance did come with a cost. Joseph Limata, the owner of the property at 279 Fenn Road — along with three other properties on the same street, including his own residence next door — said it cost him about $20,000 to dismantle the shed and haul away the debris. Limata said his insurance didn’t cover demolition costs. He said the building, which sat near the roadway, was in rough shape because its foundation was compromised after the town widened his street during a repaving project more than 20 years ago. Limata said he received an order to knock down the barn and pondered whether he should contest it in court. But he did not want a protracted legal battle, so he complied.
The ordinance had a sunset clause and would have expired last month. The Town Council last month voted unanimously to delay that sunset clause until Sept. 30, 2020.

orders to make repairs or other improvements. So far, he has not had to issue fines. In addition to the two demolished buildings, other properties on Plank Road, Country Club Road and Mountain Brook Drive were cleaned and repaired. Those repairs included new fencing around a pool at an otherwise vacant house, according to Andrews’ report to the council. Town Councilor Peter Talbot supported extending the ordinance. “I was in favor of it from the beginning,” Talbot said, adding, “there has been a result. I’ve seen it work firsthand and I think that’s important.” Efforts to address potentially unsafe residential properties in town have been ongoing in recent years. In 2014, the death of a Winslow Road resident whose home had collapsed under the weight of items she had hoarded spurred the town to establish a task force whose aim was to prevent a similar incident, according to previous news reports. In 2017, the town cleaned a Peck Lane residence after receiving complaints of hoarding and unsanitary conditions from neighbors. Less than a year later, town officials would propose adopting a blight ordinance, which was eventually scaled back to address structural, safety and health issues.
Talbot and Oris are not yet convinced the town needs a blight ordinance. “I want to walk more cautiously when it comes to blight,” Oris said, describing it as balancing protecting property values and infringing on privacy rights.
“But I don’t have any authority to tell people to clean their yard,” he said. The ordinance is serving its intended purpose, he said. “It definitely is a good thing for addressing buildings that are damaged, or when there is a fear of them collapsing. This ordinance fits that very well,” Andrews said. He used the former barn on

Limata’s property as an example. “The owner was very cooperative. As you can see, the difference, it’s night and day, it’s beautiful over there now,” Andrews said. mgagne@record-journal.com 203-317-2231 Twitter:@MikeGagneRJ
Talbot said a blight ordinance would present other issues, including possibly amplifying neighbor disputes.

“Next thing you know, their neighbor is turning them in for the blight ordinance,” he said. Talbot said while the ordinance has shown some promising results, he is aware of some properties around the Fourth District, which he represents, that need attention. “Nothing has happened with them yet,” he said. Talbot said he thinks the ordinance needs to be in effect for at least another year to provide the council with a body of evidence it is having an impact. The ordinance so far does not cover blighted, unsightly properties — a distinction Andrews was careful to make. He visits properties when he receives complaints

The town received 13 complaints over an eight-month period during the ordinance’s first year. But Andrews said the majority of those complaints were related to blight and unsightliness. The town took no action on those properties because they were not deemed unsafe.

COMMENTARY
R-J EDITORIAL
Beware of contempt of court By Lisa J. Cappelli
In my March column I explained that a person who violates an unambiguous court order can be found to be in contempt of court. I also discussed defenses that are available, including that the violation wasn’t willful. Here is an actual case where a court applied those principles. Bob and Jane were divorced in 2010. As is typical, the court approved their settlement agreement and it became a court order. Under that order, Bob was required to pay child support of $260 per week for the couple’s three children. That was based on Bob’s anticipated annual salary of $205,000. For reasons not relevant to this column, that was a downward deviation from the $451 called for in the Child Support Guidelines. Bob stopped paying child support when he lost his job in 2012. When he got another, lower paying job, rather than resuming the $260 weekly, he paid less based on his own recalculations from the Guidelines and applying his own deviation criteria. While Bob filed a motion with the court seeking a reduction in his child support in 2012, he didn’t follow through with a court proceeding until years later when Jane brought him back to court on her motion for contempt against Bob for not honoring the 2010 order. Bob argued that the violation was not willful. He felt he had a right to recalculate the support amount whenever his salary was below $205,000 and had even relied on a fi-
The first lesson is, as the court stated: “An order of the court must be obeyed until it has been modified or successfully challenged.” Simply filing a motion doesn’t change the order. The second lesson is that if Bob had followed through on a motion for modification in 2012 rather than doing selfhelp, chances are good that he would have received a lower order to reflect his job loss and new lower paying job, preserved his downward deviation, and avoided the legal fee award.

nancial advisor’s calculations of the Guideline amounts. The result of that: Bob was found to be in contempt. The court order was unambiguous - $260 per week – period. Reliance on a financial advisor for a recalculation when no recalculation is allowed isn’t a defense. Bob was ordered to immediately pay $35,000 of the past due support amount $59,254 and the rest in $500 monthly installments as well as $50,000 toward Jane’s counsel fees. Bob’s request to reduce the child support amount was rejected and instead the court ordered $539 per week, an upward deviation!
ZBA candidate Editor : I likely wouldn’t be writing this letter now if it wasn’t for my initial desire to install a gazebo in my yard. It turned out, my plan wasn’t in compliance with setback requirements. As this was a “hardship,” I filed an appeal. Ultimately, ZBA board members were understanding, helpful and flexible.
Now I have a beautiful gazebo and a destined position on the Zoning Board of Appeals. I volunteer my time, skills and efforts in a variety of town organizations, help my fellow residents to the best of my ability and now ask for your vote on Nov. 5. Breina Schain Cheshire
It’s fall, time for flu shots It’s October — the unofficial start of the influenza season — and local, state and federal health officials are advising residents to get flu vaccine.

The Wallingford Health Department, for example, will provide flu clinics throughout October, said Public Health Nurse Anne Bernick. She recommends residents get vaccinated every year.
For more information, residents are advised to contact their local health department.
According to the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, February is usually the peak of the flu season. It “generally hits the hardest from the holidays on,” Bernick said. “But we can see it at any point in the wintertime.” The idea that you will get the flu from the vaccine, or that the vaccine doesn’t make a difference in preventing illness, are common misconceptions, Bernick said.

HERE ARE THIS WEEK’S MALE & FEMALE NOMINEES .
A17
..........
ALEC FRIONE
SACARIA COOPER
The Cheshire football team served notice with Friday’s 24-12 road upset of No. 5 Shelton. And for those who hadn’t noticed the sort of season Cheshire senior WR/DB Alec Frione has been having, they should take note now. Frione caught a 20-yard TD pass and immediately followed it up with a 20-yard interception return to put the Rams ahead in the third quarter. Frione, who averages 20 yard a catch, has four TDs and three INTs on the season.
Wilcox Tech volleyball coach Sue Planinshek said going into the season that Sacaria Cooper would be a player to watch. She was spot-on. Cooper started modestly, then absolutely took off. Last Wednesday, the junior put down an area-high 22 kills and served five aces to lead the Indians past Kaynor Tech in a five-set marathon in Waterbury in which the Tribe twice erased one-set deficits. With Cooper’s contributions, Wilcox hit midseason at 9-1.
SHAKESPEARE RODRIGUEZ
LYDIA DELLIPAOLI
The guy with the classic name continues to have classic game for the Lyman Hall football team. Senior WR/FS Shakespeare Rodriguez led the Trojans to 3-1 with Friday’s 20-12 win in Milford over Foran. Rodriguez scored all three touchdowns for LH, including a pair of catch-and-runs from S.P. Pragano that went for 70-plus yards. He also picked off a pass. Rodriguez has 12 TDs on the season (9 receiving, 3 rushing) and 27 catches for 608 yards.
In a match closer than the 3-0 final score indicates, Sheehan volleyball swept Lyman Hall on “Go Pink” night last Thursday on the Trojans’ floor. Serving out the victory with a 6-0 run that featured two aces was Lydia Dellipaoli. The two aces capped a solid night for the Sheehan junior. Dellipoali chalked up 8 digs, 6 kills and 3 aces. “She’s smart with her serves,” said coach Victoria Sperrazza. “She can see the court really and see what spots are open.”
REYNALDO TORRES
EMMA PANARELLA
Maloney junior cross country runner Reynaldo Torres started the month of October logging a personal-best time of 17:20 at Hubbard Park. The very next day — an unseasonably warm one at that — Torres was down at Sheehan, shredding 12 seconds off that PR to win the Neubauer Invitational in 17:08. It was a signature win at a signature meet for Torres, who will be the favorite to win at the Meriden City Championships on Thursday at Hubbard.
Southington senior captain Emma Panarella has a signature no-look pass. Coach Mike Linehan knows it well. He’s been watching Panarella pull it off since her freshman year, when she cracked the varsity lineup in the midfield “Her vision and distribution on the field is at a college level,” he said. “She reads the game so well she can make decisions before she receives the ball.” A catalyst on offense and defense, Panarella has 5 assists for the 7-0 Knights.
