Councilors discuss land acquisition, capital budget By Michael Gagne Record-Journal staff
Discussions on the town’s proposed capital budget continue this month. While the school department capital request was a focus earlier last week, discussion during a more recent meeting focused on the town’s lands for public use and a capital budget request that would earmark another $400,000 for future land acquisition. Town Council chairman Rob Oris Jr. made clear he was not in favor of funding more land acquisition at this point, noting the town’s previous acquisitions. “I don't think we've done as good a job as we could have of making these parcels more available to
the community. I would like to take the money, and use it in an existing facility,” Oris said. Oris suggested using those funds to develop the Chapman property near Bartlem Park, which was acquired three years ago. Oris also recommended using those funds to make other recent acquisitions more usable. He also suggested enhancing the town’s existing recreational facilities for youth sports and other activities. “We need places where kids can participate,” Oris said. “We have limited facilities.” “We have one facility that has lights in it,” he said. Oris said he feels other See Council, A7
Tanzania travels changed student’s perspective By Charles "Alex" Housemann Special to The Citizen
(Charles “Alex” Housemann, a Cheshire High School graduate, lives in town with his parents Robyn and Chuck Housemann. An Eagle Scout, Housemann is in his senior year studying engineering at the University of Rhode Island.) On July 5, I embarked on a 10-day journey that has im-
pacted me in more ways than I could have ever imagined. I have visited other countries and continents but none have broadened my worldview as much as my time on the African continent. Africa is a completely different world when compared with European countries or Canada. It is a beautifully distinct culture with its own rich history that many of us have never learned about or even con-
sidered. This distinctiveness is lost to us (Americans) due to our lack of knowledge of the African continent and its people. My recent trip to Tanzania helped fill part of that gap for me. I was exposed to a new continent, gaining firsthand experience with a country, its culture, people, environment, educational system and way of life. My purpose for this excur-
sion was to volunteer at the Maasai Joy Children’s Centre. MJCC was launched in 2006 with the mission to “break See Travels, A15

It can be a tough sell, he said, but there are successful examples throughout the state. The association has

created bike trails in Cromwell and is currently planning to restore routes in Hamden and Branford, he said. “We always do everything according to modern sustainable methods of doing a trail,” Vernes said of his chapter, which numbers 175 members. For Saturday’s event, the group set up an approximately 2.5-mile course through the farm along existing walking paths. Some of the route could get pretty technical, appealing to the veteran rider, but there were also wide, straight paths for a beginner. Tricia Dowcett, a Cheshire resident and board member of Bike Cheshire, got into riding when she was in college out in Colorado. The sport’s mix of adrenaline (there are hills to conquer) and contemplation (carefully choosing one’s path in the peace of the woods) appealed to her.

“My friends were into it and I just followed them and quickly realized that it is great,” she said. “You have to use your brain as well as your body.” She was one of the group who made sure that Ives Farms’ trails were ready for riders, trimming bushes, removing leaves, taking down anything that could catch a
wheel or a handlebar. There is a close connection between conservationists and mountain bikers, Dowcett said, with both groups seeing themselves as stewards of open space. “We try to educate the public about that,” Dowcett said.
Off the phone Almost everyone who showed up on Saturday was decked out in riding gear and excited to go for a spin. Cheshire resident Jon Northway and his 14-year-old daughter Aeryn were kitted out and ready to take the trail. “I try to get out as much as possible,” he said. Northway coaches riding and is an avid participant. But Aeryn takes it to another level. She competes regularly and has truly embraced mountain biking in a way that her dad is clearly proud of. Not every kid likes team sports, Northway pointed out, and competitive biking exposes Aeryn to the discipline and the organization needed to perform well. “It gives some perspective. It’s good to be outside, enjoying the beautiful world we live in,” Northway said. “It gets her off her phone and off her computer.” See Biking, A7

Season ends for Post 92 Post 92 run ends with loss to Naugatuck By Mike Logan Special to the Record-Journal
MERIDEN — All good things must come to an end and the Cheshire Post 92 American Legion baseball team was no exception to that rule on Monday night, July 29. Taking on No. 4 seed Naugatuck (18-13) for the second time in the Southern Division Super Regional, No. 1 seed Cheshire (26-5) was looking for revenge after they were defeated by them 2-0 on Saturday. But Nick Delucia was able to quiet the Cheshire bats and stave off their comeback attempts as Naugatuck won 3-2, ending Post 92’s season. Naugatuck 3 Cheshire 2
The game started two hours late and a heavy rain storm at 6 p.m. soaked Meriden’s Ceppa Field. Once the action started, Post 92’s starting pitcher Rob Roles was cruising through the Naugatuck lineup. However, he ran into trouble in the fourth inning. He hit the first batter he faced in the frame with a pitch. And the next batter, Austin Verab, drilled a long single over the center fielder’s head to put runners on the corners with no outs. Roles was able to recover and strikeout the next batter, but he wasn’t out of the inning quite yet. The first run crossed the plate on an infield single by Michael See Legion, A13

COMMENTARY
Safety drill needs better alert system By Breina Schain
I’m a resident of Cheshire and on June 25, I joined a team of 56 other medical response/health safety volunteers in a safety drill at Cheshire High School, conducted by our Chesprocott Health District. Our team trained with one another for about eight months prior to the drill with courses and methods to assist residents in our district of Cheshire, Prospect and Wolcott who may be adversely affected by an epidemic, natural disaster, or an act of terrorism, et cetera. In fact, the disturbing news in recent days confirms that, in reality, acts of terrorism are now unfortunately occurring daily and more in our country.
The drill at the high school was advertised in the local newspapers and at the town hall. It involved a simulated scenario that anthrax was placed into food sold out of a truck at a town festival. Chesprocott Health District staff members were alerted by the FBI about this staged incident and they called in their volunteers to set up a treatment station at Cheshire High School. All of our volunteers mobilized, per our past training, and were ready for town residents to report so they could learn about what might occur in case of a real event. Residents would be treated in an orderly, triage type manner at equipped stations, per their symptoms, with the appropriate medication administered by our medical and mental health staff
members, while being surrounded by safety officers. At the drill, Cheshire’s Fire Marshal John Andrews and police Sergeant Brian Schecter (accompanied by Officer Dave Maliar) were also present, along with our most capable Director of Chesprocott, Maura Esposito. They all strive and work diligently to keep our community safe. One of the main reasons I’m writing in regards to this event is, that other than our Chamber of Commerce President Yetta Augur, the turnout of town residents was low. Perhaps people did not see the article in the newspapers or were unaware of this very important drill. Consequently, I strongly suggest that when we have another such drill (or
in the event of a real large scale emergency) it would be beneficial that police Chief Neil Dryfe call town residents and/or institute a color code system (such as a code “white” used at the prisons where I worked), to augment the present protocol for means of communication. His role would be to alert the situation to residents so they would know where to report and what to expect. Citizens could then become more prepared, educated, and calm, knowing that capable staff and medical necessities will be provided. I believe that town safety and security and measures to address issues in case of emergencies are critical, since our very lives are at stake.

to experience and share them.
The Maasai people are extremely kind and passionate about their culture. But the most surprising part about the people was that there is no waste. There are no machines to get rid of the garbage, it is simply burned. While this does lead to higher carbon dioxide levels it also creates a vastly cleaner landscape.
