Church revives carnival
Southington, Cheshire students head back to school
By Jesse Buchanan Record-Journal staff
By Michael Gagne Record-Journal staff
New Southington High School Principal Frank Pepe smiled as he stood outside the school Thursday afternoon, Aug. 29, during dismissal, pointing students toward their buses. Pepe, who last year was principal of DePaolo Middle School, said the first day of school “was invigorating.” Seeing many of his former middle school students made him “feel at home,” he said.
Mary Our Queen Church will hold a carnival later this month, reviving a parish tradition from decades ago. New Principal Josephine Rogala asks a few questions to fourth-grade students on the first day of school at Zaya A. Oshana School in Plantsville, Aug. 29. More photos at www.myrecordjournall.com.

Bittersweet end for Hidden Valley batting cages By Devin Leith-Yessian Record-Journal staff
Patrons got in a few last swings at the Hidden Valley batting cages over the long weekend before the 38-year old cages closed for good after Labor Day. It’s a bittersweet end for Hidden Valley owner Paul Rossi. His four
sons learned to bat in the West Street cages and he’s watched generations of Little Leaguers learn to hit.
Ross said he’s noticed interest in baseball and the batting cages has waned. When he first opened customers would have to wait in line for a chance to bat, but 10 years ago attendance started to decline.
“We have customers that have been coming since day one,” he said Sunday. “They’ve brought their kids “Kids aren’t playing ball,” he said. here and how they’re bringing their “It used to be that just about every grandkids.”

The church on Savage Street plans to have food, rides and entertainment from Friday, Sept. 13 until Sunday, Sept. 15. “It’s to bring people together,” said Sebastian Vosne, chairman of the church’s carnival committee. “It’s to get Mary Our Queen back on the map.” Food trucks and food vendors will offer sausage and peppers, meatball grinders, hamburgers, fried dough and other carnival fare. Vosne said the rides will be provided by the same company that works the Apple Harvest Festival. Entertainment includes live bands and a singer who’ll provide “good old Italian music” complete with accordion. There also will be kids games, face painting, a raffle, silent auction and a bake sale by parishioners. See Carnival, A2

Unexpected school district savings during the past fiscal year came from mid-year staff vacancies, energy efficiency measures and unspent supply funds.
Some positions, such as school nurses, were vacated mid-year and the district wasn’t able to fill them. That resulted in some payroll savings, Derynoski said.

While his son hit balls, Chris Beattie reminisced with Rossi about their time playing and some of their favorite baseball moments. Beattie said he’ll likely be going back to taking a bucket of balls out to the park and throwing them to his 8year-old son Reiley. “It’s sad that this place is going,” he said. “We had fun here.”

The majority of Rossi’s business in recent years has come from his 18-hole miniature golf course, which attracts a wider base of customers. The course extends far behind the batting cages and allows golfers to traverse koi ponds and waterfalls.
Over his last season, Rossi has been asking customers what they’d like to see replace the cages. He is leaning toward building a go-kart course and expanding the seating space on the patio to complement the improved food offerings he’s planning.
“As far as I’m concerned, we’re the best mini-golf in

Zoning panel clears way for ‘speakeasy’ By Jesse Buchanan Record-Journal staff
’50s and ’60s.”
A speakeasy-style bar is slated to open soon, after receiving approval to sell alcohol from the town’s Zoning Board of Appeals. After getting final permits from the town Aug. 28, The Manhattan is slated to open on Eden Avenue when renovations are finished, according to owners Diane Mulholland and Rob Sitz. “We’re near the end. It puts us on schedule,” Sitz said. The couple envisions a Prohibition era-themed bar and restaurant for 16 Eden Ave., recently the site of another bar. Mulholland said she’s ordered wallpaper to fit the theme as well as other period decorations. Robert Salka, a ZBA member, asked about the two pianos on plans for the bar submitted to the town. “We’re opening what’s going to be our version of a speakeasy,” Mulholland told him. “We’re going to have music from the ’30s, ’40s,
There’s only one piano at the bar now, Sitz said, but there’s plans for more musical offerings. “There’ll be days when we have two (pianos). There’ll be days when there’s a jazz band,” he said. Mulholland said servers will be wearing Prohibition era costumes. The Manhattan will offer appetizers, tapas and drinks. Mulholland said they're focusing on Italian, Spanish and Latin food and drinks and consistently excellent service. Mulholland and Sitz are new to the restaurant industry but have careers in management. Sitz will be the restaurant manager. The couple had tried to buy the building seven years ago, but the owner wasn't interested. They're now leasing the space. jbuchanan@record-journal.com 203-317-2230 Twitter: @JBuchananRJ

Vigil held for SHS student killed in crash By Devin Leith-Yessian Record-Journal staff
Singing one of her favorite church hymns, “On Eagle’s Wings,” and recalling what made her a special member of the Southington High School community, hundreds of classmates, family and friends gathered to remember Julia Bruno, who died after a motor vehicle crash on Friday, Aug. 30.
Southington police confirmed that Bruno was the 17-year-old involved in a
crash on Meriden-Waterbury Turnpike on Friday night. The accident occurred near the intersection with Clark Street at 10:18 p.m.

“She was an absolute allstar. She was an athlete, an

She emulated all of the characteristics … that we talk about,” said SHS Principal Frank Pepe, who had known Bruno since she was a student at DePaolo Middle School. Bruno was entering her senior year at SHS and was a member of the school’s volleyball team.

Sunday to keep sharing their stories about Bruno and to embrace how they felt. One speaker at Sunday’s vigil said Bruno made everybody around her feel special, while another described her as silly and funny. A former history teacher of hers said, “I felt compelled to come up as someone who lost one of my best friends.” “School support services staff, counselors, social workers and psychologists will be available to support students and staff as they return to school on Tuesday,” said Superintendent of Schools Timothy Connellan in a statement to the press. “Students, staff and other members of the community are prepared to rally around the family.”

principal Russell Hinckley. She spent much of the first day mingling with students around the school, especially in the cafeteria, getting to know everyone. “There were a lot of smiles throughout the day,” she said.
New faces, new name
Last Thursday was Superintendent of Schools Timothy F. Connellan’s sixth opening day as the school district’s leader. Connellan was enthusiastic about Pepe and the other new leaders and an expanded focus for the district this year — providing teachers with the tools to help students become more aware of their social and emotional well-being. Connellan said those tools will help students identify their emotions, regulate their own behavior and “therefore be better able to learn.” Pepe has “brought such a level of excitement,” Connellan said. “He’s been there all summer working feverishly. He’s just excited. You can feel the excitement of his administrative team and the teachers all around him. That’s been a wonderful wonderful transition,” Connellan said. For new Oshana School Principal Josephine Rogala, a Southington resident, opening the school year in the building on Church Street was a homecoming. Rogala’s career as a teacher started in Southington before she became a building administrator in the Meriden Public Schools.
New Principal Frank Pepe greets students on the first day of school at Southington High School, Thursday, Aug. 29. Dave Zajac, Record-Journal
“It was a great day,” Rogala said. “It was a pleasure to work in Meriden and gain the experience... “It prepared me to take on this role.” Rogala said she is grateful to now be leading a school in Southington, her home. Oshana is named after the late Board of Education member and long-time educator. His son, Zaya G. Oshana visited schools Thursday including the building that will soon bear his father’s name. Rogala said it is an honor to partner with the Oshana family in reshaping the school in Zaya A. Oshana’s memory. Rogala, who remembered Oshana during her time as a new teacher, described him as a passionate community member and an active participant.
Cheshire traditions One of the traditions O’Brien quickly familiarized herself with as Doolittle principal was the New Year’s Eve-like countdown performed before the opening of each new school year. Early in the morning, as students gathered outside the doors at Doolittle, the entire school community counts down from 10 and then, upon reaching 1, exclaims “Happy New Year,” just as the doors are opened. Another tradition helps acclimate students to the
school, as teachers conduct scavenger hunts throughout the course of the first day in order to familiarize students with the locations of everything from the library to the lavatories. “All in all, it was a really good, positive day,” said O’Brien. Cheshire High School Principal Mary Gadd described the first day as “great.” One of the positives was the weather. The sun was shining in the morning and the temperatures remained comfortable for this time of year. “I was really happy, especially for the seniors. They had a great day for their ‘senior walk,’” said Gadd, referring to the opening day tradition where members of the senior class, many of whom wear special T-shirts, walk into Cheshire High School together.

EDITORIAL
Needs, wants always at odds Given recent history, the idea of Connecticut Democrats and Republicans working together for the common good may sound like a fantasy of how things could be in the sweet byand-by. But when it comes to curbing excessive state borrowing, at least one prominent Republican, Senate Minority Leader Len Fasano, is backing Gov. Ned Lamont, whose fellow Democrats in the General Assembly have been giving him some grief.
to-haves.’” And, for Lamont, the first ‘Must-do’ is modernizing and upgrading the state’s transportation system. Although Fasano, R-North Haven, has often been critical of Lamont, he says Senate Republicans would stand with the governor in upholding a veto of any bond package they deem wasteful or ill-focused. “Connecticut is one of the nation’s leaders in per-capita state debt, in part because the state puts too much on its credit card …,” Drajewicz said. Therefore, as part of his “debt diet,” Lamont wants to cut down on bonding other than for transportation, school construction, and little else.
Lamont insists on prioritizing spending for transportation infrastructure, which he believes will show positive returns, while many lawmakers continue to push for bring-home-the-bacon local priorities. But Lamont says other projects will have to wait until lawmakers settle on at least a short-term plan to upgrade the state’s aging infrastructure.
Since highway tolling — which the administration says could raise about $800 million annually by 2024 or 2025 — failed to pass this year, and since the state is still not on an even keel financially, the governor’s “debt diet” is a sensible approach.
“Just as many Connecticut families do, the state must also live within its means,” Ryan Drajewicz, the governor ’s chief of staff, told The Connecticut Mirror recently. “The ‘Must-dos’ take precedence over the ‘Nice-
And hard choices will have to be made between the ‘Must-dos’ and the ‘Niceto-haves.’”
