Emigrant photographer finds beauty in local nature By Joy VanderLek The Cheshire Citizen
You may not know her name, but it’s likely you’ve seen her work. Angela Pontecorvo has posted her photographs of Cheshire wildlife and scenery on the community Facebook forum, each week, for a number of years. Originally from England, photography allowed Pontecorvo to acclimate to her new country. “When I came here 27 years ago, it was a cultural change
for me. I am such a nature lover, that it really is a whole new environment. I’d never seen a cardinal before. I’d never seen a blue jay before, and I certainly never saw a hummingbird before,” she said, adding, “I am just absolutely in my element of all the new things to me. Everything is so photogenic.” Pontecorvo finds beauty in Cheshire throughout the seasons. Among her photographs, she has posted stunning pink sunsets at Broad Brook reservoir, a
streamlined blue heron in late fall flying over Mixville Pond, and an iconic Christmas holiday scene of the Victorian Inn dressed in winter white. See Photographer, A2

‘Amazing turnout’ for Hot COCO 5K
General Manager Gulian Drekos said he is expecting a busy Thanksgiving.
By Joy VanderLek The Cheshire Citizen
“So far we have booked half of the restaurant,” Drekos said.
After a year off, the Hot COCO 5K, produced by Abilities Without Boundaries, was back this year, taking place Nov. 13.
“The turnout for the Hot COCO was amazing,” said Eric Christmas, Abilities Without Boundaries executive director. The race is a major fundraiser for the Cheshire-based non-profit,
which serves adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities, helping them gain independence through employment and support services. See Race, A15

Pontecorvo also captured a close-up photo of a bobcat in August in her backyard. “It was a really big surprise to see this visiting bobcat climbing a tree right next to me to get a better vantage point of my bird area,” she wrote alongside the picture.
“I really do love New England. It’s so beautiful. Everyone says to me, ‘England must be so beautiful.’ It is, but it is so beautiful here, too,” she said. As to the nice response she gets from online forums, Pontecorvo said, “When somebody says to you, ‘I look forward to your photos,’ then I feel compelled to find that shot of the week. I basically plan my week around it.”

Among her favorite subjects to photograph are birds. In England, Pontecorvo cites her sister’s skill at training robins to eat off her hand. “The English robin is the most incredible thing,” she said. Pontecorvo lists a few more favorites. “I love Drazen Orchards,” she said. “I’ve actually been there in January and there’s still golden delicious apples on the tree, and the white snow, and with the red barn. It’s unbelievable.”

A self-taught photographer, Pontecorvo has a degree in display and exhibition design, and worked as a window dresser; first in England on High Street, and then with a thirst for travel, she worked for cruise lines, like the QEII, where she decorated the shop windows in the ship’s high-end galleries. Pontecorvo still creates window displays in Cheshire.
While photography is a hobby, Pontecorvo also does commission work. She uses an SLR camera, a Nikon D7200. Though she does both color and black and white shoots, her love is black and white photography. The contrast brings out the detail, it gives more emotion, she said. “That’s another thing with photography. If it’s a puffy white cloud day, I have to go out, because those puffy white clouds make the best pictures.”

Local receives business award
Elizabeth Johnson, of Cheshire, provost for Post University in Waterbury, was recently recognized by the 18th annual Stevie Awards for Women in Business as a “Female Executive of the Year.” She received the bronze award. Johnson was recognized for her skills in facilitating in-person and online services during the pandemic: “She is responsible for all the teaching during the day, on and offline. Five different academic schools, a library, and academic support services were swiftly transitioned to online learning when necessary, allowing the university to stay virtual for an entire year.”
Fazzone also explained that the area where R. W. Hine Ace Hardware is currently located on Maple Avenue is a prime center for business,
and allowing the area to become a special development district would help increase business and coordinate development among establishments that are currently there. Town Planner William Voelker said there is no development plan in process and any plans to develop the area would still need to come before Planning and Zoning before any decisions are made and that all abutting property owners will receive notice, as well as those across the street.

Small steps make a big difference in preventing diabetes It’s National Diabetes Awareness Month and this year’s focus is on prediabetes and preventing diabetes. Prediabetes is a serious health condition where your blood sugar levels are higher than normal, but not high enough yet to be diagnosed as type 2 diabetes. According to the CDC, more than 1 in 3 U.S. adults have prediabetes—that’s 88 million people—but most people don’t know they have it. The good news is that by making small healthy lifestyle changes, it is possible to prevent type 2 diabetes and even reverse your prediabetes.
(booster shot, if eligible) and flu vaccines are especially important for people who may be more likely to get very sick from COVID-19 or

Here are some tips to help manage prediabetes and prevent diabetes: Take small steps. Making changes to your lifestyle and daily habits can be hard, but you don’t have to change every-
thing at once. It is okay to start small. Remember that setbacks are normal and do not mean you have failed—the key is to get back on track as soon as you can; Move more. Limit time spent sitting and try to get at least 30 minutes of physical activity, five days a week. Start slowly by breaking it up throughout the day; Choose healthier foods and drinks most of the time. Pick foods that are high in fiber and low in fat and sugar. Build a plate that includes a balance of vegetables, protein, and carbohydrates. Drink water instead of sweetened drinks; Lose weight, track it, and keep it off. You may be able to prevent or delay diabetes by losing 5 to 7 percent of your starting weight; Seek support. It is possible to reverse prediabetes.

Eversource: Expect higher than normal winter bills

From A8
With global demand for natural gas soaring, gas and electricity prices for the upcoming winter heating season are on the rise. After hitting 10-year lows during the COVID-19 pandemic, the price of natural gas has risen significantly – impacting customers nationwide and across the globe.
idential heating customer could see a 14%, or $30, increase on their total bill as compared to their average monthly winter heating bill in 2020. Because the Purchased Gas Adjustment (PGA) rate is adjusted monthly, customers can expect to see incremental changes throughout the heating season.
This year’s Forever in Blue Jeans fundraiser will be on Friday, Nov. 19 at the Aqua Turf from 6 to 11:30 p.m. Tickets are on sale at sccymca.org/FBIJ or at the Southington YMCA’s front desk.
The driving factors include an increase in global demand during the ongoing economic recovery and a significant drop in U.S. gas supply due to a number of issues including the pandemic and extreme weather in gas-producing states.
The increasing cost of natural gas will also impact the cost of electricity.

STATE
High schoolers to decide how to spend $1.5M HARTFORD — Thousands of Connecticut high school students from across the state will decide how more than $1.5 million in federal COVID-19 relief funds for schools will be spent.
They can begin submitting applications later this month. Proposals will be accepted until early January.
Forty-three school districts, which encompass 77 high schools, have agreed to participate in the state’s new campaign called Voice4Change.
On March 11, students at each high school will vote on which proposal they prefer for their particular school. The ideas must be deemed eligible to receive American Rescue Plan Elementary and Secondary Schools Emergency Relief funds.
The initiative, administered by the Connecticut State Department of Education, allows students to submit proposals for how best to spend $20,000 in their respective schools.
The state, school district and students are then expected to work together to make sure the winning proposal at their school is implemented.
Five “Commissioner Choice” awards will also be awarded to fulfill five student proposals that didn’t win enough votes.
State officials called the contest “a first-in-the-nation statewide student civic engagement initiative.”
“I found in life, the bigger the table, the more ideas you get, the better the outcome,” Democratic Gov. Ned Lamont told students at the CREC Civic Leadership High School in Enfield.
“Every student has at some point come into class wishing something was different within their school,” wrote Natalie Bandura, a student member of the Connecticut State Board of Education and a senior at Staples High School in Westport.
“I want you to have a stake in the outcome. … I like people who have a stake in the game and incentives to make it happen,” Lamont added.
In a statement, Bandura said this initiative is “exciting” because students “are the ones who have the power to make that change.”
Unions seeking bargaining rights for Guard members By Dave Collins Associated Press
HARTFORD — Labor unions filed a lawsuit Monday seeking collective bargaining rights for Connecticut National Guard members on active state duty ordered by the governor, saying they should be entitled to organize the same way as civilian state employees. A 1978 federal law makes it a criminal felony for members of the armed forces, including the National Guard, to join or attempt to form a labor organization. But the statute only applies to service
members when they are on active federal duty ordered by U.S. military officials, according to the Veterans Legal Services Clinic at Yale Law School. The clinic is representing four Connecticut state employees unions that filed the lawsuit against U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland and the Department of Justice. The lawsuit seeks confirmation that the law does not prevent National Guard members from unionizing while on active state duty and that they would not face
criminal charges for doing so. The office of Democratic Gov. Ned Lamont and the Justice Department declined to comment on the suit, which was filed in federal court in Connecticut. “When we’re on state active duty, we are proud to help our home state respond to natural disasters, public health crises, and other emergencies,” Christopher Albani, a former member of the 103rd Civil Engineer Squadron in East Granby, Connecticut, said in a statement.
“We just wish we had the same opportunity to join together as do the civilian state employees alongside whom we work.” The Connecticut National Guard has been called to state duty several times over the past two years. Members have helped with cleanup efforts after major storms, aided police in response to protests and served during the state’s response to the coronavirus, including setting up field hospitals and distributing supplies during the early days of the pandemic.

COMMENTARY
Turkey Day menu requires some diplomacy By Joy VanderLek The Cheshire Citizen
The work-up to Thanksgiving has begun. The planning. The anticipation. The bickering. Any fussing is usually about food. This time around, the debate started with Brussel sprouts, of all things. I was with a girlfriend at Lock 12 on the rail trail when she brought up the topic of the Thanksgiving menu. “Do you like Brussel sprouts?” she asked. “I love Brussel sprouts,” I replied. “Well, we are not having them for Thanksgiving,” she said, adamantly. She made a face, and said, “They make the whole house stink.” It seems her daughter and the daughter’s better half were set on having Brussel sprouts as a side. I guess they wanted a change. I also guess there’s family drama unfolding. I’m probably not alone in wanting to have a fixed, unchanging holiday menu year
after year. I really did not welcome change. I always needed to have a side of mashed potatoes, candied sweet potatoes, green bean casserole with mushroom soup out of a can and topped with those crunchy, fried onion things out of a can. Cranberry sauce? That had to be out of the can, too. Now that’s tradition.
hubby’s family, additions were made to our Thanks-
giving table. The in-laws added items like pickles and pearl onions. Not a fan. The other addition to the table was real cranberries. Who knew real cranberries looked like that? The in-laws also came up with the two, 25pound turkeys. It doesn’t matter if there are 15 people at the table, or four people. The father-in-law is a turkey pig. These turkeys will not be wasted. That’s because my husband’s family has their own tradition. They
make this thing called turkey soup. It consists of a lot of water, some celery and carrots and armloads of turkey. I was badgered into taking a spoonful one day. That one is not on my traditional table. The oddest addition to the in-law table was a hybrid salad-dessert. This one was made by one of the older family members. This dish had fruit in it, like grapes and pineapple. The recipe See Joy, A14
Some traditions are quite unlike my own. A friend is a vegetarian and so there is no meat on their table. Instead, they have something called a field roast. I’m told it’s made of grains and vegetables but does not attempt to resemble or taste like meat. When I married into the
