A GOOD INFLUENCE

After 31 seasons, Salva hangs up the whistle By Nicole Zappone Town Times

Coginchaug boys basketball coach Todd Salva recently announced that he would be stepping aside at the end of the season. He helmed the program for 31 years. “I just decided after going back and forth for some time, that it was time for me to step down,” said Salva, who replaced the only other coach the program has had, Wally Camp. “It really has been a fun ride and I’ve had so many great kids over the years.” Middlefield native and social media influencer Alanna Rondinone, pictured on the right, visited her former elementary school, John Paul II in Middletown, recently and enlisted the help of students to make Valentine’s Day cards for Compassus Hospice patients throughout Connecticut. A singer-songwriter, Rondinone started making cards for hospice patients at the outset of the pandemic. “The kids were amazing, and had some TikTok questions ready for me to answer too,” said Rondinone, who has amassed more than 728,000 followers on the platform. “I love being a role model and told the class that small acts of kindness can change one person’s life and make them happy, brighten someone’s day.”

Salva, 61, debated about going for another year or two but decided that this was the time to retire. He told his players on Feb. 7, and recalls the gym being very quiet afterwards. “I am lucky that I had a really great group of kids this year,” said Salva. A graduate of Southern Connecticut State University, for the past 38 years, Salva has been a physical education teacher at Frank Ward Strong Middle School.

Coginchaug boys basketball coach Todd Salva is pictured with his grandson George.

Before taking the helm of the Coginchaug boys basketball program, Salva coached four seasons at Vinal Tech in Middletown. At CRHS, Salva’s teams won Shoreline Conference championships in 1995 and 2007 and played for a state title in 2016. The Blue Devils also advanced to three state semifinals during his tenure. The 2021-22 Coginchaug

squad was scheduled to wrap up its season on Wednesday. The Blue Devils headed into the matchup with just three wins, so, win or lose, there will be no state tournament for them this year. Salva indicated that coaching has become a yearround endeavor, and he hopes his successor is willing to put in the time necessary to keep the program moving forward.

Athletes shedding masks as tournaments begin Town Times report

Coming into alignment with the lifting of the state mask mandate, the CIAC, in consultation with its medical experts, will no longer require athletes to wear masks in competition starting Monday, Feb. 28. Gov. Ned Lamont, in lifting the state mandate, has left it up to individual

school districts to determine their own mask policies. In districts that continue to require masks, the CIAC “requests that consideration be given for allowing athletes to compete indoors without masks while wearing masks in all non-competitive activities” such as sitting on the bench on in the locker room. Athletes are permitted to continue

wearing masks while playing if they prefer. Just before Christmas, the CIAC updated its mask policy for the winter, requiring all basketball players, hockey players and indoor track athletes to wear them at all times. (Previously, vaccinated athletes were not going to be required to wear them while playing.)

Exceptions were made for winter activities in which wearing a mask during competition is deemed a safety issue — namely, wrestling, gymnastics, swimming and diving, and throwing and jumping events in track. In those instances, athletes were allowed to remove masks during actual competition, but had to wear them at all other times.

Have I mentioned my birthday’s coming up? thing that comes my way I take as a sign, a message, from the Universe. I know these signs come every day, to all of us. But this time of the year I am awake to them. My eyes are open. I thought I would be a lamb this year and spare you my annual rantings and ravings regarding Birthday Month (March.) I don’t think I’m going to make it. March 29 is my Big Day, and every year I am over-the-moon excited about it.

enjoy the journey.

I start the countdown in February, and come March 1 — well, let the festivities begin. Every one of those 29 days becomes a celebration of life, in a way that I do not celebrate the rest of the year, though I think I should. I put a sign up on my door marking off the days. And every day I am positively giddy.

It is a time of reckoning. What do I really want for myself? The answers never involve tangible things, but things of the spirit. Do I want to be braver, more patient, kinder, more tuned in to the Great Mystery? Yes, yes, and yes.

I look back on the years behind me, and I pluck out the good memories. And I look down the road that is before me, and I set an intention for how I want to amble down it.

I don’t know why it is so easy for me to live like that during Birthday Month, as opposed to the other months. It all feels so effort-

less. The rest of the year feels, more often than not, like I am pushing a boulder uphill. I make a promise to myself every year that I will keep this enlightened state going. No going back. I’ve got this. It usually fizzles out around the middle of April. I don’t know why I let the magic slip away.

It seems that I should be able to live in this state of ecstasy for longer than 1/ 12th of the year. Maybe this time I can make it to May. Fingers crossed! So this is a pilgrimage of sorts for me, an expansion of my spirit. A time to reach upward and grow myself. To become better. Also, I really love presents.

APPLE BARREL APPLE BARR FARM MARKET FARM MARK

For the whole month I cast all my worries to the curb and just enjoy life. Free as a bird I am. Life seems to take on an extra sweetness. There’s magic afoot. And every day I ask myself, “What can I do to honor and cherish myself? What self-care do I need to engage in?” And then I do it.

I used to put so much pressure and expectation on that one day. It had to be perfect, and if it wasn’t — well, let’s just say that someone we all know and love was a bit of a Miss Grumpy Pants that night.

OPEN DAILY OPEN DAIL

9:00AM-6:00PM 9:00AM-6:00PM I’m learning to roll with things now. More going with the flow. Happy with whatever presents itself. No muss, no fuss. Just whatever wants to happen is fine with me. There’s just no way to do the day wrong. Because it’s My Big Day.

Jessica Bernotas

Margaret K. Hultgren

Garden Club

MIDDLEFIELD- Jessica Bernotas, age 78, passed away peacefully February 19, 2022 after a long fight with leukemia. She was born June 10, 1943 in Clearfield, PA, to Jessica and James Marino. The family moved to Binghamton, NY, where Jessica (Jessie then) excelled in drama and cheerleading. She raised three daughters Dana, Maria and Elizabeth with her first husband John Davidson who preceded her in death in March 2020. She married the love of her life, Randolph Bernotas, in 1986, in the backyard of the home on Lake Beseck, in Middlefield, Connecticut. Her career took her on a whirlwind tour of eccentric businesses from IBM to Mark Levinson Stereos to Yale Asian Studies to Womack Forklifts to Winchester Rifles to Kuzmak properties to Lane Construction, where she finally retired. Jessica was a formidable opponent in all games from Scrabble to Trivial Pursuit to Pinochle and named her cats after her favorite games. Candy(land) is still going strong at 24 years young. She loved the Cape - especially in the off seasons when she had Nauset beach to Randy and herself. She thought nothing of driving up just for a bowl of lobster bisque at the Brewster Fish House. She toured the world visiting South Africa, England, Paris, Venice, Las Vegas, San Diego and so many other places. Hitting the seas for a Caribbean cruise with family was a cherished memory.

She loved the baby ducks on the lake which she called corks because they bounced on the water; and she named every living thing - mallard ducks for example were called Thorndike and Millie although no one knows where she came up with those names. Jessica is survived by her husband and best friend Randy Bernotas; her brother James Marino and sister Cecilia James, sister in law Pat DelBuono; Brother in laws ‘a pair of Jacks’ - DelBuono and Troisi; her three daughters Dana McKeehan, Maria Davidson and Beth Davidson and Beth’s husband Andy Wayne; her granddaughters Melanie, Leah and Erin McKeehan; her grandsons Bryan and Joshua Woolley and their children Alexia Woolley and Lilah Woolley; and many fantastic nieces and nephews and cousins too many to count! In lieu of flowers please donate to the ASPCA at https://secure.aspca.org/ donate/memorial A celebration of her life is planned for her birthday in June with details to come.
