Bysiewicz tours West Main By Steve Scarpa Special to the Record-Journal
Lt. Gov. Susan Bysiewicz toured the West Main Street area Friday morning and saw what she believes is the recipe for successful downtown redevelopment. “To make a great downtown, you need the arts, great restaurants, and it needs to be walkable,”
Bysiewicz said, referencing examples in New London, New Britain, Willimantic, and Norwich. Led by state Rep. Liz Linehan, D-Cheshire, Bysiewicz visited Brian’s Guitars at 453 W. Main St. and walked across the street to its sister business, West Main Street Music Academy. She then visited Bergamo’s Martial Arts Academy and the Ball
& Socket Arts Project, all in close proximity to the Farmington Canal Heritage Trail. State Sen. Mary Abrams, D-Meriden, also joined the tour. The arts employ over 20,000 people in the state, Bysiewicz said, and is a driver of local economic development. See Tour, A6

History Hound: A factory’s past unraveled (Editor’s note: The Ball & Socket Company, 493 W Main St., has been in the news lately as its renovation plan progresses and the usage of the old factory site undergoes a dramatic change. In light of that evolution, Mitzi Romano who writes Adventures of the History Hound for the Cheshire Historical Society, offers some background.)

Ball & Socket Company. What did it make? CannonBALLS? Electrical SOCKETS? Hip replacement parts? And why was it always referred to as “The Button Shop”? As it turns out, the ball and socket referred to is a type of fastener ... which we know more commonly as a snap.
In 1901, the Cheshire Company merged with the Ball and Socket Fastener Company of Portsmouth, New Hampshire and was renamed the Ball & Socket Manufacturing Company. A factory in South Boston handled most of the fastener production, while the Cheshire location remained the “button factory”. It was one of the world’s largest
manufacturers of metal buttons. In 1914, the original wooden buildings were moved and a new brick and sandstone building was built. Much of the design of this building is patterned after the architecture of the medieval city of Chester, England. This in-
cludes the caste effect on the front and the Chestershire coat of arms above the front door. During World War II, the factory continued to make buttons, but also expanded into making parts for machine guns, gas masks, See Hound, A8

Cape Cod-style home surrounded by gardens By Devin Leith-Yessian Record-Journal staff
A 1,501-square-foot Cape Cod style home surrounded by gardens and close to the linear trail is listed for $235,000.
Built in 1936, the home at 412 West Main St. typifies its era and style with a central front door flanked by a window on each side, one bedroom on the first floor and two on the second, with hardwood floors throughout.
What makes the home stand out is the extensive gardens in the front and back yards, said listing agent Cheri Paulsen, with Coldwell Banker. “There’s always something blooming, so there’s always some lovely color in the front yard,” she said. See Market, A5

Family celebrates finding dog missing 35 days By Michael Gagne Record-Journal staff
It’s been about a month since the Artes family was reunited with their beloved four-legged companion — an affable, easy-going English bulldog named Charlie. Charlie, who the Prospect family had taken with them for a July 3 fireworks show in Shelton, broke free from his harness that night, scared by the loud sounds. “I ran after him,” John Artes recalled. “But It was so dark out I ended up not being able to see him.” Charlie was missing for 35 days, until he was reunited with his family early last month.
Sisters Ava and Allie Artes were reunited with their family’s English bulldog, Charlie.
His family searched during the time Charlie was gone, placing posters throughout Shelton and elsewhere, posting photos on social media
and even doing interviews on area television stations. The family had almost given up hope, until early last month, when a couple in Shelton spotted Charlie in a stream behind the Wal-Mart store on Bridgeport Avenue. “They called the Shelton animal control. And they [animal control] called me, and said, ‘I think we found your dog, he looks just like your poster.’ I freaked out,” Artes said. Artes’ in-laws live in Shelton. They visited the animal shelter and confirmed it was Charlie. He had lost a significant amount of weight — 19 pounds. But Charlie was otherwise healthy and happy to be reunited with his family, Artes said. Charlie is normally docile and not scared of loud sounds, like thunderstorms.
would get scared of the fireworks,” Artes said. “Unfortunately, of course, he did get scared of the fireworks.” To celebrate, the owners of The Cheshire Cat and Dog Too, 1320 Waterbury Road, planned a party on Sunday in Charlie’s honor. The event was also a way for the Artes family to say thank you to the community, who John Artes said, “has done so much for us, helping find Charlie,” who is now one year and three months old. “So many people wanted to meet Charlie,” Artes said, adding he is grateful to Heather and Howard Bearz, the store’s owners, for wanting to host it. “Everyone is excited Charlie was found,” Howard Bearz said. “We wanted to have a big party.”
“So we didn’t think he

New plastic bag law forces shoppers, stores to adapt
R-J EDITORIAL
By Jeniece Roman Record-Journal staff
“Pollinators need your help! There is increasing evidence that many pollinators are in decline.”
department does not yet have data collected on plastic bag fees.
WALLINGFORD — A month into the new plastic bag law, area shoppers appear to have adapted to the change fairly quickly.
“It’s a part of a store’s sales tax return, reported later to the state,” he said in an email. But the department has been impressed with the business community’s engagement.
The law requires stores to charge 10 cents for every single-use plastic bag, which will be completely banned by June 2021. The law applies to most retailers, pharmacies, restaurants and supermarkets. Grocery stores, like Stop & Shop and Big Y, have opted to eliminate single-use plastic bags at checkout completely, while encouraging shoppers to purchase paper or reusable bags instead.
“These stakeholders have played a particularly constructive role in bringing questions to DRS on various facets of implementation of the plastic bag fee, which have informed agency guidance to taxpayers,” Polites said. DRS Commissioner Scott Jackson was not available for comment.
Jim Polites, communications director for the state Department of Revenue Services, said Friday the

change relatively well and are opting for reusable bags. “The change is pretty seamless now,” Martin said. “A few forget their reusable bag and buy paper bags but we’re seeing less and less of them.” Meriden resident Norma Barillaro said she made the transition without much difficulty. “It really hasn’t affected my shopping much except when I forget to bring my bags,” Barillaro said. “Now I leave them in the car.” Marie Krantz, who visited the Big Y last week with her family, said while she understands that the change will be good for the environment, it can present challenges. “If you have kids it gets hard because you have to get your kids ready and then remember your bags,” Krantz said.

In Middlefield there’s now a pollinator patch in the Giving Garden, which was built last year by Coginchaug Area Transition. The Quinnipiac River Watershed Association has a butterfly and bee garden on Oregon Road in Meriden. And the North Haven Garden Club maintains two pollinator gardens, one at the Historical Society building and another at Todds Pond.
That’s why the FWS is encouraging people to build pollinator gardens and establish pollinator pathways — and that’s just what’s happening in Southington and elsewhere in this area. Southington town leaders are looking for residents and businesses to join them in creating pathways — yards and other areas free of pesticides that have plants for bees, butterflies and hummingbirds. There’s a new pollinator garden in the works at the Novick property on Flanders Road — created
But pollinators are still threatened by pesticides, which is why the FWS urges people to avoid or limit pesticide use: “Pesticides can kill more than the target pest. Some pesticide residues can kill pollinators for several days after the pesticide is applied.” See Pollinators, A27

This warning comes from the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, which tells us that some of the hummingbirds, bats, bees, beetles and butterflies that help pollinate over 75 percent of our flowering plants and food crops are endangered.

Cheshire is celebrating its 325th anniversary. Settled in 1694 by residents from Wallingford, Cheshire grew from a tiny farming community into a village until finally being recognized as its own town in 1780. This year, the Town of Cheshire has been honoring that historic beginning, and will continue to do so at The Cheshire Fall Festival and Marketplace. A special 325 Tent will be situated right in the middle of all the activity, and guests are encouraged to come by and see how some of the town’s oldest institutions, including the Cheshire Historical Society and Library, are honoring the occasion.

Kiwanis Carnival Promises Thrills For The Whole Family 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.”
The Kiwanis Club of Cheshire will hold its annual carnival Friday, Sept. 13, 6 p.m. to closing, and Saturday, Sept. 14, 10 a.m. to closing, at Bartlem Recreation Area on Route 10, across from Cheshire High School. Hours are from 6 p.m. to closing tonight and Friday, and from 10 a.m. to closing on Saturday. 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
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!

Joseph A. Conte
October is the tenth month of the year, but “octo” is Latin for “eight.” When October was first given its name, people were following the Roman calendar, which began the year in March, making October the eighth month. September, November, and December’s names also were based on numeric value, as were the original fifth and sixth months of Quintilis and Sextilis. When the Julian calendar was adopted, January and February were added and Quintilis and Sextilis were renamed to honor Julius Caesar (July) and Emperor Augustus (August).

COMMENTARY
Bowhunting season is here
A testing ground for pioneer climbers
By Mike Roberts
Wow, here we are in September already. Labor Day is just a memory, fall is on the horizon and deer hunters have been sharpening up their skills in anticipation of another deer season. In Connecticut, we have an overabundance of whitetailed deer and our DEEP Wildlife Division has done its utmost to bring down the numbers.

All this said, the archery season for whitetailed deer can be an exciting time. For one thing, the deer you harvest Yes, I know there are some animal activists who strongly have to be up close and personal when you take a shot. oppose deer hunting, but This means that you will from where I sit they really probably see more deer don’t have a clue on what when bowhunting, even wildlife management is all when they do not offer you a about. chance to put a tag on them.

In Connecticut, we have a varied deer season. The first ones to get a chance of putting some venison in the freezer will be the bowhunters.
Granted, I did not fill my bow tags every season, but then some years were better than others. I do have to admit, though, that archery seasons here in Connecticut and in a couple of other states have left me with some of my finest outdoor memories.

I have always used ladder stands and usually put them in place before the arrival of the archery season. This usually works well if you have private land hunting permits because the landowner also knows who is on their land. My very first archery permit on private land was availed to me on a farm in Colchester. The owners treated me like family and I was allowed to do anything I wanted as long as it was legal. This was before ladder stands, and even tree climbers were just coming into their own. I found a tree along a swamp that looked like a deer area, so I built a wooden stand in the crotch See Roberts, A25

Connecticut bowhunters are also allowed to use crossbows during the archery season. In some states, like New York, this has been a matter of controversy.

New York has a bowhunting organization strongly opposed to the use of crossbows during the archery season, and so far it’s been successful in this endeavor. I dropped my membership in that organization because of its opposition to crossbows during the archery season.

mountain ranges and glacial lakes. At Yellowstone, I toured an area of the park where a super volcano lays dormant, as magma close to the surface causes wondrous displays of geothermal activity. I saw the world famous “Old Faithful” geyser erupt, took sight of a 300-foot waterfall, witnessed several various colored thermal ponds of water as well as viewing lots of wildlife native to that part of the country. It was a trip of a lifetime and yet I regret not having more time to see all the attractions at Yellowstone. Then, it was time to go back to Connecticut. While our state doesn’t have two-mile
high mountain ranges, glaciers, geysers and wildlife such as bison and pronghorns, it has its own wildlife and unique geological features. One of those areas with some of the most interesting features is situated nearby in Southington and Berlin – and this local attraction brings in visitors from all over the country and even overseas. Ragged Mountain rises more than 500 feet from the valley below and peaks at a modest 761 feet in elevation.The mountain has several miles of hiking trails including a portion of the 60-plus mile Metacomet Trail. However, Ragged is best known for its numerous rock formations and numerous brownish colored traprock cliffs which in some spots exceed more than 100 feet in vertical length.
According to the publication, Trap Rock Ridges of Connecticut: Natural History & Land Use, those cliffs were formed more than 200 million years ago when continental shifting caused parts of Connecticut’s ground to split open and result in volcanic flows. These flows would become Ragged and several other mountains in the central part of the state. In the 1930s, the cliffs of Ragged and nearby Sleeping Giant Park would be testing ground for some of the earliest technical rock climbers in the United States. Some of the country’s most difficult routes were set at Ragged at a time when most climbers used primitive safety equipment which included ropes made from plant/animal fibers and pitons hammered into cliff walls to prevent ground falls. Mountaineer-
ing pioneer Fritz Wiessner, who did first ascents on famous mountains worldwide, was also the first to climb and name some of the routes on Ragged’s cliffs. As climbing equipment improved in safety and mobility, climbers would venture to bigger and more difficult climbing areas in the country and overseas. While most climbers book their climbing vacations at places such as Yosemite National Park in California or closer by at the White Mountain in New Hampshire and the Shawangunks in nearby New York, many advanced rock climbers will still make a trip to Ragged to scale popular routes such as Wiessner Crack, Wiessner Slab, Vector, Unconquerable Crack and Broadway.
one of danger. Over the years, both climbers and hikers have perished from falls off the cliffs. Kevin West is the owner of Stone Age Rock Gym in Manchester and a rock climbing guide who has given many lessons at Ragged Mountain. He encourages visitors to be aware of their surroundings. “Hikers and climbers should take note that every few years there are accidents on these cliffs,” West cautioned. “The sport of climbing bears inherent risk. Hikers that get off-trail, or get caught out after dark have walked or stumbled off cliffs by accident. When you venture outside always bring the basics: food, water, clothing layers including a light weight jacket (or other cov-

of the tree. It was my very first attempt and it was a bit amateurish in design, but I spent a couple of archery deer seasons on it. Back then, bow season began in October and I was in the stand one cool October morning when I saw some movement in the brush in back of me. I almost fell out of the treestand when I saw that the movement was an eight–point buck.
Hah! To this day, I do not know how I missed that big buck, but the memory of it taking off unscathed by the arrow that I pulled out of the earth after its departure will be with me forever.
