Council to talk merger of youth, human services committees
7TH ANNUAL ‘DAY AT IVES FARM’
By Michael Gagne Record-Journal staff
The Town Council, after having tabled a vote on whether to merge the volunteer committees overseeing youth and human services, scheduled the matter for a special meeting Tuesday night, Sept. 24.
Dan O’Keefe and 81 South play bluegrass at the Cheshire Land Trust’s “A Day at Ives Farm,” Saturday, Sept. 21. The free event saw close to 900 visitors who came by throughout the day to see live music, an owl show, a petting zoo hosted by Westledge Farm, local non-profits, antique tractors and pony rides. The day also featured Touch-a-Truck with vehicles and personnel from Cheshire’s police and fire departments. Cheshire Land Trust is a non-profit, all-volunteer conservation organization with approximately 600 acres in Cheshire that it protects and stewards.
Student creates ‘butterfly totem’ for community garden By Joy VanderLek The Cheshire Citizen
Cheshire West Community Gardens added a new element to the already eye-catching display of flowers at the West Main Street section of the Farmington Canal rail trail path. A newly-installed “butterfly totem” art installation was unveiled Sunday. “A small ceremony was held with family and friends of Cheshire West Community Gardens,” said Gary Richards, executive director of the gardens. The 6-foot tall totem was crafted and
hand-painted by Richards’ niece, 16-yearold artist Maliah Ryan, a junior at Southington High School. Ryan had previously created totem artwork at the Sleeping Giant State Park’s Butterfly Garden. Ryan said she had been volunteering at Ball & Socket Arts at the time and found herself See Garden, A3

The proposed Youth and Human Services Committee would consist of seven members, with no more than five from the same political party. The panel, which would also include five student representatives, would be responsible for making recommendations to the Town Council on services for youth and senior citizens. The proposal was discussed, then tabled, during a Town Council meeting in July. Jim Jinks, a current member of the Youth Services Committee, said while he disagrees with the proposal it is a “good faith effort” to establish a functioning committee between two panels that often see meetings canceled because of a lack of a quorum. “We shouldn’t throw in the towel on having two committees,” Jinks said. Jinks, who is also a Democratic candidate for a Town See Merger, A2

“The focus should be trying to have two functioning committees rather than one who can serve both,” he said.
In addition to the meetings that are called off because members can’t attend, there are also extra staffing costs with having the two committees, Slocum said.
Council seat in the second district seat, had previously suggested recruiting three alternate members to serve on each of the volunteer committees. “Whoever is the majority party gets to choose those alternates. You will have more people involved. You will have regular meetings,” he said. Jinks said the issues facing the town’s adolescent and
Tim Slocum, a Republican member of the Council, disagrees. “I do think they can be merged,” Slocum said. “I know there is a vast distinction between the young and old. But since they are both served by similar staff, I think there is room to merge them and plenty of creative energy to make that work. I don’t think merging means
He described the opposition to the proposal as having been “somewhat unexpected.” “I certainly supported tabling it for further discussion,” Slocum said. mgagne@record-journal.com 203-317-2231 Twitter:@MikeGagneRJ

Man sentenced to 5 years in sexual assault

By Lauren Sellew Record-Journal staff
wanting to “get more involved in the community, and do projects that would allow people in the community to appreciate art.” It was while attending the Sleeping Giant totem unveiling that Richards realized he wanted to create a pollinator garden in Cheshire. “I knew she (Maliah) had to do it,” said Richards. He asked Ryan and she agreed. “It was her big summer project,” he said. Ryan took the wood for the Cheshire West project and painted it completely yellow. Richards offered a few pointers, including a list of the native flowers, insects and butterflies in the Cheshire West gardens. Wellequipped, Ryan dove into the project. “I did the details and flowers. I tried to make it as authentic as possible, replicating the actual plants and butterflies you would see in the garden,” she said. Richards said the art is also helpful for trail users to be able to identify the flowers and pollinators. It took 25 hours for Ryan to complete the art project. Now that school is back in session, Ryan is back to her studies. “I’ve only done the two really big art projects,” she said. “Art is hobby,” said Ryan, who is following an career path in bio-medical engineering.
CHESHIRE — A local man was sentenced to five years in prison after pleading guilty to sexual assault charges stemming from a 2016 incident. Dale Walters, 20, of 122 Willow St., was charged on Dec. 13, 2016 with first-degree sexual assault, risk of injury to a minor and third-degree as-
sault. Walters pleaded guilty to two counts of third-degree sexual assault and one count of illegal sexual contact. During an appearance in New Haven Superior Court, Sept. 17, he was sentenced to a total of 12 years in prison, suspended after five years to serve, followed by 10 years of probation.

and in 1807, Rufus married Flora Gilchrist. Rufus and Flora had no children of their own. In 1819, William Rufus Hitchcock married Mary Hull and the two-story west wing was added to the house around 1820 to accommodate William and Mary’s new family. In 1832, Rufus Hitchcock died and in 1834, William, his family, and Flora moved to Waterbury. At that time, Lucretia Hitchcock, her husband the Rev. Peter Clarke, and their children moved into the house on Church Drive and the house became known as “The Clarke Place.”

Rev. Clarke was a Navy chaplain and the family included two daughters and a son. The son, William Henry, became a clergyman and moved to Georgia to become the rector of a parish. Daughters Maria and Lucretia H., remained in Cheshire. Rev. Clarke died in 1860 and Lucretia died five years later. In 1867, 44-year old Maria married a 22-year old mathematics instructor from Cheshire Academy, Andrew Wheeler Phillips. The Phillips lived with Lucretia H. in the house on the Green.

Girl Scouts persevere in effort to keep garden at Norton School By Michael Gagne Record-Journal staff
Girl Scout Kayla Dwyer, 10, right, looks over pink hydrangea petals with fellow scouts in a new garden the troop is planting at Norton Elementary School. Girl Scout Junior troop 60238 took on the project in hopes of earning the Girl Scout Bronze Award, the highest honor a Girl Scout Junior can achieve.
Elizabeth Pawlak, 11, held a small tree in her hand as she indicated to Kayla Dwyer, 10, where she should dig a hole for the plant. At Pawlak’s direction, Dwyer pushed her shovel into the mulch and soil of a garden located in the center courtyard of Norton Elementary School.

The HERS Institute program was 12 days. “It covers everything from budgets to managing faculty, looking at curriculum, en-
rollment, advancing women in academia techniques and how to find opportunities for advancement,” FullickJagiela said. She enjoyed the solidarity. HERS Institute participants, all 63 of them, come from different backgrounds and experiences. “We’re in these leadership roles now. How do we pull somebody with us?” FullickJagiela said, explaining the importance of using one’s own privilege to “get somebody to the table that needs

to be there.” Fullick-Jagiela, who was hired at Quinnipiac in 2013, was appointed as co-director of the People’s United Center for Women & Business last year and became chair of Quinnipiac’s management department that same year. For another leader at another institution, Jane Gates, the path toward educational leadership is one more than 30 years in the making. Gates is currently provost and senior vice president for academic and student affairs for the Connecticut State Colleges and Universities system, which includes Central, Eastern, Southern and Western state universities and the state’s community colleges. Gates wasn’t a HERS participant, but like Fullick-Jagiela, she recognizes the importance of creating leadership opportunities for women
and people of color in higher education. Gates started out in academics as an instructor, before slowly ascending to her current position, which reports to the CSCU system’s president, Mark E. Ojakian. She didn’t set out to become an administrator in higher education. “I was very much interested in maybe becoming a lawyer,” Gates said. Her career ambitions changed when she was recruited by a dean at the school where she earned her bachelor’s degree to return as a teacher. Gates said she believes one reason fewer women move into full professorships or administration is in part because their academic work tends to be more focused on advising students and less on research. “We need to review promo-

“I think overall there is still inequity at the higher levels of education,” Burton said, adding there are still “definitely a lot more men than women at the full professor level.” “I think there is still a ways to go,” she said. “I think we’ve named the problem. Now we can’t go back. We need to continue to support women’s advancement into leadership positions.”
“Sixty percent of our students are women,” she said. “So for them to be able to see themselves in our senior leaders is very important.” R203207

On another campus, the University of Connecticut in Storrs, Laura Burton is a professor of sports management in the Neag School of Education. Like Gates, she did not attend the HERS Institute, but she has long been interested in tackling gender equity issues, especially those in sports and higher education.
Fullick-Jagiela is hopeful that change will come. Quinnipiac already has quite a few women in leadership roles.

Garden From A12
The project came to a halt over the summer. Although the troop had received permission from Norton’s principal, Kelly Grillo, to clean up the courtyard, they were not aware of the school district’s plans to re-landscape the area, including removing several bushes they had pruned. Troop members made that discovery during a visit to the garden in early August when they found most of the tallest bushes — the ones they had pruned — had been cut down, with the branches in piles on top of the small perennials they had planted. School district grounds crews, in a project already planned by the district, cleared out most of the bushes adding sod and mulch to the courtyard. Some boxwood bushes remained, as did a hydrangea bush and another small pine tree. Cheshire Public Schools Chief Operating Officer Vincent Masciana acknowledged that a mix-up had occurred and had been resolved. “We want to maintain relationships with volunteer groups and we want to encourage that participation,” he said. The original garden in Norton’s courtyard was planted more than a decade ago. Many of those original plants, including tall bushes that were growing near the building, had become long overgrown. Some became obscured by weeds that had grown next to them.

Guilford said that is why the troop sought to clean up and restore the garden. It is also the perfect candidate project for a Bronze award. “It has to be something that is ongoing...” Guilford said. “And they could sustain it and then pass it along to a younger troop who would then follow in their footsteps and take care of it.” Grillo said she encouraged the troop to develop a new plan for a garden that could be maintained long-term. “We do want to support them as best as we can,” Grillo said, adding troop members’ “came up with a beautiful sketch” for a reimagined courtyard garden.
half-day of school, troop members continued on with the project, adding new plants, pulling out some old weeds near the snapdragons and begonias they had planted. They identified some other areas in the courtyard they could touch up, including a wooden bench, with peeling blue paint. They hope to sand it down, re-stain it, and add some personal touches — their own hand prints and a plaque with their troop number. They mulled adding a birdfeeder or two, near an existing birdhouse with peeling paint. The girls also discussed possibly putting new plants in the blue ceramic pots that line the courtyard’s brick walkway.

HERE ARE THIS WEEK’S MALE & FEMALE NOMINEES .
TERRENCE BOGAN
ELISABETH BROWN
Sheehan’s Terrence Bogan led Connecticut in rushing last season as a junior with 2,481 yards. Two games into his senior season, Bogan stands at 575 after rushing for 353 in Friday’s 56-34 victory over New Fairfield. It’s been classic Bogan. The reigning New England 100-meter sprint champion is putting his speed to work, averaging better than 13 yards a carry. He’s also scored seven TDs for the Titans, who are 2-0 heading into this Friday’s game in Brookfield.
When the calendar turns to fall, we turn our ears to the footfalls of Sheehan’s Elisabeth “Lizzie” Brown. One of the area’s top female distance runners since her freshman year, Brown launched her junior season winning a pair of SCC quads before taking the ninth annual Connecticut River Valley Invitational in Cromwell this past Saturday. Brown blazed a time of 18:55 over the 3.1-mile course to out-pace a trio of E.O. Smith pursuers by a full minute.
JAMES TARVER
JACKIE IZZO
Another running back piling up the yardage this season is Maloney’s James Tarver. The junior went off for 192 yards and five touchdowns in last Friday’s 41-14 victory over Bristol Central at Falcon Field, which puts the Spartans at 2-0 heading into this week’s showdown back at Falcon with North Haven. On opening night, Tarver put up 206 yards and four touchdowns against Farmington. That gives him 398 yards and nine touchdowns on the season.
Here’s another area runner who absolutely tears up the cross country trails. With a time of 20:26 last week, Southington runner Jackie Izzo broke the girls course record at Camp Sloper, Southington’s home course. It’s the third program record for Izzo -- and she’s still only a sophomore. Last year, as a freshman, Izzo ran the Lady Knights’ fastest overall 5K time (19:28 at Northwest Catholic) and their fastest time ever at Wickham Park (20:03).
SEAN PATRICK PRAGANO
CAROLINE CAMPION
They call Sean Patrick Pragano “S.P.” for obvious reasons. Here’s another that’s becoming just as obvious. Sean Patrick Pragano has been Super Prolific in Lyman Hall’s new spread offense. Following up a 345-yard, 5-TD outing against Law on opening night, the senior QB threw for 382 yards and three scores against Bethel last Friday. (He also ran for a touchdown.) At 36-for-53, 727 yards, 8 TDs on the season, Pragano is the area’s leading passer.
No matter how good the girls soccer story gets this season, a pivotal chapter will be missing. One of the area’s top players, Cheshire’s Caroline Campion, will miss her senior season with an ACL tear. Campion has been a leading scoring for the Rams since cracking the varsity lineup as a sophomore. She followed up eight goals that year with 14 last season. After surgery and rehab, Campion will continue her career in college. She’s committed to Division I Marist

5 tips for running a road race in the fall By Kristen Dearborn Special to the Record-Journal
4. Wear protective gear
Many runners look forward to race days in the fall because of cooler temperatures and scenic foliage. While transitioning out of summer, and then into winter, fall weather conditions vary greatly.
While the weather may be mild, it is still important to protect the skin from sun exposure throughout the fall. Runners should wear hats, sunscreen and sunglasses to prevent sunburn. Many sports equipment stores sell clothing that is sun protectant.
The 40th Annual Apple Harvest Race in Southington will take place on Oct. 6 and offers a variety of events for both adults and children. The Fishbein/YMCA Community Road Race is also on Oct. 6. Whether you want to run or walk in a road race this fall, it’s important to be prepared. I recently talked to Denise Bowen, a trainer at the Wallingford YMCA and WITS (World Instructor Training School) certified personal trainer of 9 years, about tips for training for the Apple Harvest race, and other seasonal races.
“Run soft on the toes,” Bowen said. “Focus on the motion of running, softly on the toes. Not flat footed pounding, it will really hurt the knees and the hips.”
Compression socks help runners to maintain blood flow throughout their lower extremities and may make running long distances more comfortable. See Healthy Living, A16

Use a map to assess the terrain of the road race you’ve entered so that you are able to plan your training sessions accordingly. There are also a variety of applications that are designed specifically for runners to track mileage and lap time during a training session.
1. Warm up thorough3. Train in a variety of ly conditions During the fall, drops in temperature can cause the muscles to be tighter than usual. Hamstring, quad, and calf stretches, are some examples of essential static stretches that keep the muscles nimble.
On damp days, skin should not be exposed to the air because it may cause chaffing or skin irritation.
To adequately prepare for race day, make sure to schedule runs at different times of the day. Train at dawn, when the sunlight is
rapidly shifting, and in the afternoon, when the sun is high. Also, as the days get shorter, be prepared to run at dusk if your race is later in the day. “Focus on the aspect of enjoyment. If you experience any pain, stop and don’t try to run through it,” Bowen said. Make it a point to schedule training sessions on warm, cool, dry, and rainy days so that you’re ready to run in any weather.
SUDOKU
Dynamic stretches are also very important to incorporate into your warm-up routine. This type of stretching involves keeping the body in motion. Leg swings, highknees, and skipping are all beneficial movements for runners.
R213836v4
Applications that use Geographical Positioning Systems (GPS) are useful tools for checking the weather. Since the weather can change quickly, it’s important to check it multiple times throughout the day as you prepare for a long-distance run.

5. Dress in layers It may not be hot when you begin a run in the morning, but temperatures could rise over the course of the day which is why dressing in layers is ideal. Conversely, even if it is a warm day, prepare for a fall chill in the form of brisk winds. Also, remember that when the perspiration on your skin is exposed to the air, you may feel cold.

Oversized, yet cozy Cape lists for $499,900 By Michael Gagne Record-Journal staff
A two-story 3,903-squarefoot house at 40 Wolf Hill Court has a lot of room — yet retains a cozy-feel.
and a bedroom and bathroom,” she said. It could easily serve as an in-law apartment or be inhabited by a college-aged family member “who wants to feel like they have their own apartment.”
Lauren Seigel, of the Seigel Realty Group, is one of the property’s listing agents.
A first-floor office can be recreated as another bedroom.
“It’s a great house, with a really flexible floor plan,” she said.
The home’s open layout evokes the feel of a chalet in Vermont, including a fireplace and chimney that extends from floor to ceiling, Seigel said.
Seigel said the house, which boasts four bedrooms and four baths and is currently listed for $499,900, would be ideal for multi-generational families. “There’s a second-floor area that does have appliances
“Because you walk in and the heart of the house is a fireplace, it almost feels like a little mini resort,” she said. The home also features a
staircase that wraps around the fireplace. The property itself includes an inground pool and a large yard. A master bedroom on the first floor is directly connected to a sunroom, which leads out to the pool. “It would be really ideal for a hot tub situation,” Seigel said. The basement, which doesn’t go directly into the house, could be a recreation room — or it could be made into rehearsal space for individuals who play a musical instrument either alone or with a group. mgagne@record-journal.com 203-317-2231 Twitter:@MikeGagneRJ
