The town is in theprocess of going live withan updated geographic in-formation system, whichwill replace a system that isover four years old.

Town Manager MichaelMilone called the currentGIS, which can be viewedon the town’s website, a“very nice system, but verylimited.”

The new system is beingpushed into service byMario Panagrosso, a tax as-sessor for the town. Milonesaid the project has thus farcost the town about$300,000, which is about 60percent of the money setaside for the project.

Panagrosso said it waslogical for the assessor’s of-fice to act as a liaison for theproject because the new GISsystem will include individ-ual property information,unlike the current system.

“You can click on anyparcel on the map and getownership information andhouse data,” Panagrossosaid.

Data for the new GIS is stillbeing processed by an out-side consulting firm, butPanagrosso hopes to have thecompleted data in a week.The new GIS will be availableon the town’s website next

month, he said.Milone and Panagrosso

said there are several key dif-ferences between the currentsystem and the new GIS, thebiggest being accuracy.

The Connecticut Confer-ence of Municipalities pro-vided a grant to Cheshire,Southington, Wolcott, Wa-terbury, Prospect, Bethany,Hamden, Wallingford andMeriden four years ago toprovide the layout for thetown’s current GIS. Whenlooking at the current GIS,all nine towns appear.While Milone feels that sys-tem served the town well,the flyover photos mappingthe GIS were taken in 2005.For the new system, Milonesaid, the town contracted aflyover to map Cheshire ex-clusively, so it will be theonly town that appears onthe new GIS. The flyoverwas performed at lower alti-tudes, providing more accu-racy and higher quality.

“It allows us to more easilyidentify features,” Milonesaid.

The flyover plane also trav-eled slower, providingcrisper photos.

Now, the “layers of infor-mation on the GIS are morerelevant to us and the peoplein town,” Milone said.

Panagrosso said the newGIS will provide a specificoutline of every building in

town. Sewers and storm wa-ter drains will be viewable onthe map as an added layer. Alayer on a GIS map allowsusers to highlight specifics.Panagrosso said there will bean open space layer, as wellas topography, wetland, vege-tation and fence layers. Otherlayers will be added as need-ed, he said.

For Milone, one of themost important layers showsfire hydrants and watermains. When combined withthe ability to check thespecifics of every home, in-cluding room layout, Milonefeels first responders have avaluable tool at their hands.

When police and firefight-ers learn of a structure fire,Milone said they will knowhow to safely enter and exit abuilding and find trapped oc-cupants because they’ll “re-spond directly because theyknow the exact layout.”

Another layer outlines thepavement managementstudy done by the town a fewyears ago. The study pin-points by a numeric scorewhich streets need to be re-constructed or repaved.

The current GIS on thetown’s website does havesome of the new layer fea-tures, but the map has notbeen updated.

The town is consideringextending natural gas serv-ice on North BrooksvaleRoad from King Road to Nor-ton School, if it makes sensefinancially.

Town Manager MichaelMilone said the state will be-gin work this summer on thesharp curve of NorthBrooksvale Road (state Route42) where it passes KingRoad. He said the project willfix drainage problems and“minimize the likelihood ofaccidents.”

At a recent Town Councilmeeting, former councilorTim White asked Milone tolook into extending gas lineson Route 42 while the state al-ready has the road dug up.Town staff met with state De-partment of Transportationofficials and found that coor-dination of the project waspossible, but cost would be anissue.

“The only problem is theconstruction the state is do-

ing is not going all the way toNorton,” Milone said. “It’sonly about a third of the way.From there on, the costwould increase dramatical-ly.”

The town would like to seethe gas line extended to Nor-ton School because oil is amuch more expensive energyoption.

Vincent Masciana, direc-tor of management services,said the town could saveroughly $25,000 per year inheating costs if the school’sburner is switched to gas.The option isn’t far-fetched,because the burner in theschool is only a few years old,Masciana said, and can useeither oil or gas.

Milone said Yankee Gasnormally pays for the instal-lation of lines because,through its own assessment,it knows if it will see a returnon investment. Because thisproject is proposed by thetown, though, the townwould have to pay for it.Milone gave an estimate ofbetween $350,000 and $450,000

for continuing gas servicefrom where state construc-tion ends to Norton School.

Public Works DirectorGeorge Noewatne said thetown has met with YankeeGas officials and is waitingon a revised estimate fromthe company. He said that ifthe company feels it can see areturn on investment fromthe two dozen homes alongthat stretch of Route 42, it’spossible it will pitch in on thecost.

“If in fact the town bearsthe full cost,” the projectwon’t be possible, Milonesaid.

Masciana said that, if thecost estimate from YankeeGas is reasonable, the projectwill pay for itself.

“If Yankee Gas says thecost is $500,000, it would takesavings 20 years to pay backthe project,” Masciana said.“That’s kind of long. If theYankee Gas estimate is at$250,000, then it’s a 10-yearpayback, which is doable.”

Masciana is hoping Yan-kee Gas looks at the project

as an opportunity to expandbusiness.

“Until we see what theypropose, we won’t know,” hesaid. “We’re counting on Yan-kee Gas to look at this global-ly.”

Masciana said he expectsto hear back from YankeeGas in the next week or so.

“Gas is cheaper than oil, so

if payback was three to fiveyears, it might look attrac-tive,” Noewatne said. “Ver-sus a 40-year payback; that’sa whole different story.”

A hole is expected to ap-

pear in the pool bubble thisspring, but unlike many ofthe problems the bubble hasendured in the past few

years, this tear will be madeon purpose.

The recommended de-struction of the bubble ispart of revised pool dehu-midification project plansthat will place a 3-foot-by-3-foot ventilation duct throughthe bubble instead of under-ground. The change wasmade after the Town Councilrejected all bids for the proj-ect in December becausecosts were too high. Instead,the Public Building Commis-sion was tasked with re-de-signing the project to bringdown costs.

John Purtill, the commis-sion’s chairman, said theoriginal design by engineers“while elegant, was one thatwas expensive to build.”

“It didn’t find a lot of tak-ers,” Purtill said of the proj-ect when bids were invited inlate fall.

At the time the project firstwent to bid, Purtill expectedit to cost $190,000. But bidscame in at more than$250,000.

The new design is “greatlysimplified,” Purtill said. Theproject is meant to bringfresh air into the bubble, re-ducing humidity levels tomeet building code. To do so,the town purchased an airmoving device. A concreteslab must be built on whichto put the device, and gas andelectrical lines must be con-nected to power it.

Original plans called for aduct from the air-moving ma-chine to go underground andinto the bubble. Engineersfelt they might void the bub-ble’s warranty if the ventwent directly through its fab-ric. Now, Purtill said thetown has received assurancethat the warranty would notbe voided, as long as the com-pany’s engineer is on site tohelp cut the duct’s entry hole.

There are still concernsabout cutting a hole in thebubble, Purtill said.

“With its history, anytimeyou do anything to the domeyou’re nervous whether itwill cause weakness,” he

said.There’s always a chance

something bad can happen,Public Works DirectorGeorge Noewatne said.

The project went out to bidfor the second time last week.Noewatne said bids are dueby Feb. 1. If the PBC can finda bid with which it’s happy,Noewatne hopes to get TownCouncil approval by mid-Feb-ruary and begin construc-tion by March. Officials wantthe project finished beforethe bubble comes down inMay so they can make surethe system works properly.

Noewatne said pool hu-midity levels have been downthis year, mostly in the 50 per-cent range. Humidity hasonly passed the 60 percentthreshold a few times thisyear, so officials hope the de-humidification system willbe successful. The systemwill also help the dome passanother building code. Noe-watne said a certain amount

This time, hole in pool bubble will be deliberate

Jamie Arute was first mo-tivated to start his own mar-tial arts training center in2006, after his daughter hap-pened upon several trophiesfrom his competitive days asa fighter.

His daughter, just 3 at thetime, was inspired by his ex-pansive collection of medals— Arute’s training datesback to 1981 — and wanted totry martial arts herself.Arute took her to about 15 dif-ferent studios in the area, alldifferent styles and back-grounds, but couldn’t find theright fit. Either the classeswere too big, or the instruc-tors didn’t provide the rightkind of training.

“I thought to myself, ‘Thistown needs a school that willgive the kids personalized at-tention, help them grow andachieve goals, teach themproper techniques, but stillallow them to have a fun andexciting environment,’”Arute said.

Arute now owns and oper-ates Alpha Krav Maga, at1070 S. Main St. The business,which opened under a differ-ent name, has gone throughmany changes over the pastfive years. Arute said theyhave all been positive, espe-cially since last year, when hechanged the martial arts or-ganization he was affiliatedwith.

Now, “people seek me out,”Arute said. He receives pri-vate business from the entirestate and Massachusetts, hesaid, along with several lawenforcement organizations.

“I’m just a differentbreed,” he said.

In March 2008, Aruteopened his own self-defenseschool offering several typesof martial arts, but empha-

sizing Krav Maga (the He-brew term means “contactcombat”), which was devel-oped for the Israeli DefenseForces in 1948. At the time, heused curriculum from KravMaga Worldwide, an organi-zation that recruited formerIDF soldier and Krav Magaexpert Sam Sade to teach.Last year, Sade left the organ-ization to begin Alpha KravMaga, which concentratesentirely on the teachings ofthe Israeli martial art.

Arute saw an opportunityin the change, and decided topartner with Sade. Thechange made Arute a mem-ber of the organization’sboard of directors and desig-nated his Cheshire branchthe Northeast RegionalTraining Center for AlphaKrav Maga. Arute said thismeans that any instructorwho wants to be certified inKrav Maga or wants to openhis own branch through Al-pha Krav Maga on the EastCoast must visit his schooland undergo training.

Arute said Krav Maga is “amore aggressive martialart.”

“If a child is put in front ofa situation, they’re going totry to verbalize their way outof it or deescalate it, but ifsomething does happen, theyare going to defend them-selves,” he said.

A majority of childrenwon’t defend themselves be-cause they’re scared of get-ting in trouble with their par-ents, Arute said. Arute in-vites parents to be a part ofthe class, allowing them tounderstand the teachings, sochildren understand that“mom and dad have yourback if you need to defendyourself.”

“You might have conse-quences to deal with atschool, but if you are trulydefending yourself, you’regoing to get a big hug frommom and dad, and a high fivefrom your instructor thatyou successfully stood up foryourself,” Arute said.

It’s not all about childrenprotecting themselves,though. Arute holds age-ap-propriate classes, with onlychildren 13 and above whopass a maturity test allowed

MartialContinued from page 6

to enter the adult program,which is much more physicaland includes sparring. Healso holds classes for chil-dren as young as 6. Adultswith under a year of experi-ence enter at level 1 and learnthe basic philosophies ofKrav Maga before moving tolevel 2, which includes spar-ring and more intense train-ing. Law enforcement andmilitary professionals auto-matically progress to level 2because of their prior train-ing and experience.

“It’s about defending your-self,” Arute said of his inter-pretation of Krav Maga. “It’sdeveloped to be straight tothe point, using normal reac-tions of the body. Say some-one is getting choked. Wetake normal reactions andcreate explosiveness andmovements to release handsoff your neck.”

The use of Krav Maga isn’tover when one finds a way toescape the choke hold,though, Arute said.

“We don’t train hit once

and run, we train hit untilthey’re not coming back forus anymore,” he said.“Everyone has a differentline in the sand. We don’tstart fights, we finish them.”

Jennifer Bernstein, 43, hasbeen training with Arute forseveral years, “mainly be-cause of the horrendouscrime in 2007,” referring tothe Cheshire home invasion.

“It scared me,” she said. “Itreally resonated because itcould happen to anyone.”

The training she has re-

ceived at Alpha Krav Magahas been life changing, Bern-stein said.

“At the time of the homeinvasion, I felt like I wasn’tfit, and I had a big target onmy back,” she said.

Krav Maga has become abig part of her life; she is nowan instructor at Arute’s facil-ity. Bernstein said KravMaga is not all about physi-cal fitness and punching

An effort by the Board ofEducation to save paper dur-ing its meetings is drawingcriticism from some TownCouncil members, who feelthe measure is costly and un-necessary.

During the school board’sNov. 1 meeting, School Super-intendent Greg Florio an-nounced that Board of Edu-cation members would beequipped with iPads at everymeeting. Since then, boardmembers have referenced thetablet-style device to followalong during meetings in-stead of flipping through thebulky paper packets theyused to receive at theirhomes twice per month.

“A lot of people are movingtowards it,” Florio said, re-ferring to the expanded roleof technology in school dis-tricts.

Andy Falvey, the TownCouncil’s liaison to theschool board, said he had noidea about the paperless ini-

tiative until he showed up ata recent meeting and saw theiPads first-hand.

“I don’t know how effectivethat really is,” he said, whileacknowledging that the TownCouncil has no say in whatthe Board of Education does.He thinks it’s a “nice idea” tosave paper, but “an iPad has acertain lifespan, like any oth-er device.”

“I don’t know what thelong-term savings would be,”he said.

The Board of Educationsaves about $100 per meetingby using the iPads, Floriosaid. Normally, a policecourier must be paid over-time to deliver meeting pack-ets to board members. Thepackets often contain confi-dential information, which iswhy a police courier is used.Savings are also realizedthrough the cost of paper.

“For the most part, we’vecut down on copying andbinders,” Florio said. “Wecertainly spend some moneypreparing and deliveringpackets.”

Florio called the paperlessschool board “kind of a natu-ral progression” that accom-panies the school district’sinitiative to drive learningthrough personal computingdevices in schools. CheshireHigh School has been encour-aging learning through tech-nology for the last year. DoddMiddle School was expectedto begin the same programthis week.

Florio said each device

costs about $400, slightly dis-counted from retail price.And Florio said not all theiPads are brand new. Somehave been passed on from ad-ministrators who used themas training tools for the“bring your own device”learning program at the highand middle schools. ButFalvey doesn’t see why boardmembers couldn’t just bringin their personal laptops touse at meetings instead.

“It’s no different thanbringing a computer,” Falveysaid. “I don’t see the valueoverall. I don’t want to see iton the Town Council and Iwould vote against it if some-one brought it up.”

Council member TomRuocco doesn’t disagree withthe iPads to the extent thatFalvey does, and said he cansee the merit in saving paperand money, but is worriedabout the confidentiality ofwireless devices. Ruoccofeels confidential informa-tion is more easily accessiblethrough technology. He alsowouldn’t like the feeling ofcompletely getting rid of pa-per at meetings.

“I kind of like having pa-per,” he said. “You can scourthings a little better with pa-per.”

Falvey said he doesn’t feeliPads are fair to people in theaudience. He said boardmembers could be surfing theWeb instead of focusing onthe meeting.

“Who knows what they’redoing up there,” he said.

Florio said he respectsFalvey’s opinion but dis-agrees, and doesn’t see adownside to bringing tech-nology to meetings.

“If he would prefer wespend an hour and a half ofovertime on a driver everymeeting, we’ll do that,” Flo-rio said, “but I don’t see themerit in that.”

School board ChairmanGerry Brittingham said us-ing iPads at meetings insteadof large paper packets is “ano-brainer.”

“I don’t see a downside toit,” he said.

“That’s a nice perk that Idon’t think is allowable,”Falvey said.

Brittingham said rulesthat apply to the school sys-tem apply to the devices, sothere are several website re-strictions.

Board member Tod Dixonsaid there was a learningcurve getting used to theiPad, but thinks the paperlessinitiative is working great sofar.

“It’s been very helpful,” he

said.Dixon said, “I can access

just about everything” fromhome, and board membersare allowed to download freeapplications. He downloads aweekly news magazine thatwas free on the device be-

cause he’s a subscriber.“I have several smart

phones,” Dixon said. “It’sjust like a larger smartphone.”

While board members arehappy with the change, Falveybelieves the payback on using

iPads doesn’t add up.“I don’t know for a fact the

kind of saving they’re goingto get.”

Following the widespreaddevastation of SuperstormSandy, Connecticut Light &Power received national hon-ors, Jan. 10, for its successfulpower restoration. The com-pany was presented with theEdison Electric Institute’sEmergency Recovery Awardin recognition of extraordi-nary efforts undertaken torestore electrical service fol-lowing severe weather condi-tions or natural events.

“CL&P was faced with amajor restoration effort fol-lowing Sandy,” said EEI Pres-ident Tom Kuhn. “Gettingthe lights back on quicklyand safely is never easy fol-lowing these natural disas-ters. It takes strong commit-ment, advanced planning,and great execution. CL&Presponded with all three.They’re a great example forthe nation’s electric powerindustry.”

Additionally, NortheastUtilities, parent company ofCL&P, was selected as a win-ner of the EEI 2012 Emer-gency Assistance Award,which recognizes extraordi-nary efforts undertaken inrestoring electric service toanother utility company thathas been disrupted by severeweather conditions or othernatural events.

“These national honorstruly belong to our employ-ees, who were the driving

force behind our successfulrestoration in hard-hit Con-necticut, and our extensivemutual aid support,” saidBill Quinlan, CL&P’s seniorvice president for Emer-gency Preparedness. “Super-storm Sandy caused epic dev-astation up and down theeastern seaboard, andthrough tremendous hardwork, our employees demon-strated their commitment toserving our customers andcommunities, as well as oth-ers in need.”

Superstorm Sandy impact-ed all 149 cities and townsserved by CL&P and in thedays that followed, crewsworked to restore power tomore than 850,000 customers.In some areas, entire por-tions of the electric systemwere rebuilt, with over 1,700new poles set and more than100 miles of wire restrung.Once restoration was com-plete in Connecticut, crewsfrom CL&P, and other NUcompanies, supported the on-going efforts in neighboringNew York and New Jersey bysending line crews and fieldpersonnel to restore power inthose areas.

Connecticut Light & Pow-er transmits and deliverselectricity to 1.2 million cus-tomers in 149 cities andtowns.

She owned a Macaw parrotnamed Uncle Willy. She wasone of the best-dressedwomen of her time, oftenwearing pearls and fashion-able turbans, in her favoritecolor, plum. She was marriedto one of the founding fa-thers, the man who framedthe Bill of Rights. As an eld-erly woman, she became im-poverished, so much so, thather former slave would visitand donate food so she wouldhave something to eat.

Believe it or not, that wasthe rounding mother, DolleyMadison.

The Cheshire Library wasthe place for the recent pres-entation of “An Evening withDolley Madison,” with Car-olyn Ivanoff, housemaster atShelton Intermediate School.Ivanoff, dressed in clothingof the period, read from thediaries of the wife of thecountry’s fourth president.

Dolley was a widow, with ayoung son, when she met andmarried James Madison. Shecalled it “a true love match.”

She wrote in her diary thatshe would call him “Jemmie”when they were alone, andyet would call him Mr. Madi-son when in public.

Mrs. President, hermoniker at the time, was fa-mous for her dinner parties.Anybody who was anybodyattended. “No one dared re-fuse!” She knew her limita-tions as a woman during thattime; however, she also knewand understood the powershe held. Mrs. Madison waspolitically savvy, and wasclever in how she wieldedthat power, socially, in orderto drive her husband’s agen-das and policies.

Reading from Madison’sdiaries, Ivanoff explainedthat as the War of 1812 beganand mercilessly continued,the president’s wife foundherself without money forthe smallest of purchases, in-cluding candles to light theroom for her weekly dinners.While Washington burned,Mrs. Madison made it herduty to save valuable govern-ment papers relating to thecountry, and its founding.She also insisted on saving

There would be many oth-er surprises and insightsinto the politics and peopleof the time during theevening’s well-attended talk.Through Dolley Madison’swords, the presentation re-called so many names fromhistory: Thomas Jefferson,Randolph Calhoun, JamesMonroe, Henry Clay, andDaniel Webster, once a bitterfoe to the Madisons.

By Eric HerediaSpecial to The Citizen

Two people with close tiesto Cheshire were included inConnecticut Magazine’sthird annual 40 Under 40 listof the state’s “best andbrightest.” The feature waspart of the January 2013 is-sue.

Wallingford residentMichael Votto, 34, said hewas humbled to be on the listand that it reflects well onhis family and upbringing inCheshire.

He started a paper route at7-years-old. He delivered theNew Haven Register to 15houses in his Cheshireneighborhood and kept theroute through junior high.He graduated from CheshireHigh School in 1996 and wenton to earn a degree in Euro-pean history at Union Col-lege near Albany, N.Y., and alaw degree at Syracuse Uni-versity.

After that he spent sixyears as a commercial realestate attorney in New YorkCity and Boston at law firmsfocusing on the representa-tion of private equity funds,real estate investment trustsand developers, primarily inconnection with hospitality

industry transactions. Whilein Boston, he did pro bonowork for Habitat for Human-ity and in New York he se-cured an office lease for theMental Health Associationof New York City.

He started working for theKnights of Columbus in 2009and later moved to Walling-ford. He handles commercialtransactions and works inthe investment departmentas senior business attorney.

Four years ago he startedthe Hamden-based wine im-porter Votto Vines. Vottoserves as president and CEO,securing and negotiatingcontracts with producers,distributors and third-partycompanies in the U.S. andItaly as well as overseeingthe company’s strategic ini-tiatives.

The company mostly im-ports wines from central andsouthern Italy, with particu-lar focus on the regions ofToscana and Campania. Hesaid in the past 12-18 monthshe has started importingwines from South Americaand elsewhere in Europe.Votto Vines also runs small,private culinary and winetours of vineyards in Italywith the help of his family.The company has also organ-

ized wine tastings that havebenefited the St. FrancisHome for Children in NewHaven and the Hospital forSpecial Care in New Britain.

Jeannie Kenkare, 38, ofCheshire, is also on the list.Kenkare is chief medical of-ficer at Urgent Care of Con-necticut, overseeing thequality of care given at fivewalk-in clinics across thestate, including one thatopened in Glastonbury lastyear.

Rob Rohatsch, who co-founded Urgent Care of Con-necticut in 2008 withKenkare and Bernd Woern-er, nominated Kenkare forthe spot on Connecticut Mag-azine’s list. He recruitedKenkare for the venture af-ter working as an emergencyroom doctor with her at Wa-terbury Hospital, where shewas assistant director of thehospitalist program.

“We had the idea thatthere were so many patientsin overcrowded ERs, and 80percent of them didn’t haveto be in an emergencyroom...their primary care of-fices were overloaded andthere was no other place tojust walk in and get care,”Kenkare said.

The first clinic in South-

bury, Kenkare said, was verywell-received by the commu-nity, and Urgent Care wenton to open another facility inBrookfield in 2010, and twomore in Norwalk and Ridge-field the following year.

Rohatsch said physiciansare an extremely difficultgroup of folks to lead andKenkare’s physician execu-tive skills help her corralthem in the right direction.

“She’s absolutely instru-mental to the organization,”he said.

Last year Urgent Care wasnominated as a top work-place in Connecticut basedon surveys conducted byHearst Connecticut Newspa-pers. “We’re very proud ofthe culture ... it’s an employ-ee-centric company, mean-ing we believe if we takegood care of employees,that’ll roll over into howthey take care of our pa-tients,” Kenkare said.

Kenkare said she is happyto be included in Connecti-cut Magazine’s list.

“It’s a huge honor...it’snice to have that kind ofrecognition, but obviouslynone of the stuff I do is forrecognition,” Kenkare said.

Two from area named to magazine’s ‘40 Under 40’ list

of fresh air must be flowinginto the bubble at all times.

Purtill and Noewatne esti-mate new bids will come inabout $100,000 lower thanbids in late fall.

The project is being fund-ed partially by the FederalEmergency ManagementAgency, Town ManagerMichael Milone said, be-cause the bubble was de-stroyed in a storm two yearsago. The agency provided 75percent reimbursement, or$67,000. Another $30,000 infunding comes from leftoverfunds from the reconstruc-tion of the bubble after thedestructive snow storm.

“There’s still no money forconstruction,” Milone said.

The town is waiting tohear about an insurance set-tlement because it filed aclaim for the project. Milonesaid the insurance companyis refusing to pay becausethe dehumidification system“is not part of originalplans” for the bubble. Milonehas found through researchthat the insurance companymust pay in order to keep thebubble to code, and negotia-tions continue.

“If not,” Milone said, “theTown Council will advancemoney for the project. I hopeit’s settled with the insur-ance company before thathappens.”

Almost as soon as thethree-foot-high, 80 poundconcrete goose was placedatop its new home — a half-barrel on Bill and CherylGormbard’s front yard over-looking busy West MainStreet — drivers began tohonk as they passed by.School children smiled at thesight of the goose and wavedfrom their seats on the bus.

The statuary, called Glen-da the Goose, became some-thing of a celebrity much tothe surprise of its owners.Who knew that a statue of agoose could be so charismat-ic?

It’s a landmark that every-one who lives here, or whopasses through town, is like-ly to see. And soon after itsacquisition, more than 15years ago, it became appar-

Letter to the EditorHunger in Cheshire

To the editor:Hunger in Cheshire can easily go unno-

ticed because our hungry neighbor oftenlooks like us: he lives on the same street, shemay drive the same car, he may wear thesame clothes. Our hungry neighbor may be aco-worker, your child’s classmate or your eld-erly neighbor. You may not see hunger in ourcommunity, but the reality is that hundredsof people in Cheshire face hunger on a dailybasis. Hard-working people in our communi-ty have fallen upon tough times. Some havelost their jobs or are working lower payingjobs to make ends meet. But often it’s notenough. Seniors, most of who are on fixed in-comes, are struggling, too, as they see theirretirement savings dwindle in this economy,while food, rent and medical costs continueto rise. When forced to make a decision be-tween paying for housing, medicine or food,food is often sacrificed.

As a result, we currently serve 216Cheshire residents who don’t always have

enough food to meet their basic nutritionalneeds. I’m confident that many more peoplequalify for help but don’t want to ask for it.With generous donors, the non-profitCheshire Community Food Pantry Inc. isable to provide nutritional food for meals toour clients on a weekly basis. However, tomeet the need, the food pantry will have to atleast double its efforts to solve the problem.With over 50 highly dedicated volunteers, weserve our clients from a 1,700-square footbuilding on Railroad Avenue that requirestens of thousands of pounds of food annual-ly for our clients along with monetary con-tributions to pay for the same expenses youwould encounter as a home or business own-er.

ent that Glenda needed tohave a wardrobe.

“My wife was a very goodseamstress,” Bill Gormbardsaid. “Some of the outfits mywife made and some we wereable to purchase.” Glendahas Santa outfits, pumpkinsuits and Easter bonnets. Shehas beach attire and footballuniforms; a fabulouswardrobe for any season oroccasion.

Cheryl Gormbard took thelead on Glenda’s stylish at-tire until her health made itimpossible to do so anymore.Diagnosed with rheumatoidarthritis in her late-teens,Cheryl Gormbard’s condi-tion had worsened over theyears. Eventually, when hiswife no longer could, BillGormbard took over the jobof changing Glenda’s outfits.

Cheryl Gormbard diedJune 30, 2009 at age 57, buther husband continues to dothe best he can to keep up thetradition the couple started.Glenda’s outfits are stillchanged, though not as fre-quently as in the past andGormbard said he doesn’tbother with all the acces-sories and extras his latewife usually included. But itdoes make him feel goodwhen he sees there is interestin the goose and that Glendacontinues to make peoplesmile.

Glenda also brings backgood memories of happytimes. Gormbard said he isglad to continue in memoryof his wife. “I do it because ofher,” he said.

How the goose came toCheshire is a story in itself.

In 1996, the Gormbards,who had been married for 16years, often vacationed inPennsylvania Amish coun-try, in Lancaster.

“We really enjoyed itthere,” Gombard said. Thecouple shared a love of sce-nic drives, and driving Bill’scream colored, classic road-ster to Lancaster was a realtreat for them. On one ofthese trips, the Gormbardsstopped at a big farmer’smarket, where they encoun-tered a gaggle of geese of theconcrete variety. One ofthese ended up going homewith them.

Before returning to

Cheshire, however, theystopped at a Lancaster icecream place located on afarm that was home to anumber of Jersey cows.Each one had a name tag onits ear. One was named Glen-da and that was how he andhis wife came to name theirgoose, Gormbard said.

Back home in Cheshire,the couple’s pretty yellowhouse with its neat and tidyyard, complete with wishingwell, was the perfect over-look for Glenda’s perch.

Glenda not only got atten-tion from those passing by,but also from other fans. Forinstance, there was one manwho parked across the streetto take pictures every timeGlenda’s outfit changed.Eventually, Gormbard askedhim about it and learned theman took the pictures for his85-year-old mother who was-n’t able get out, but who en-joyed seeing the pictures.

There also has been un-wanted and unpleasant at-tention. The original Glendawas vandalized, destroyedand stolen. Getting a twin tothe original Glenda is a goodindication of how much shemeans to many people.

Gormbard keeps the news-paper clippings recountingall the support he and hiswife received from residents.

Young children seem tohave a special affinity forGlenda. Sometimes, if theirchild was sick, people hadcalled or written to CherylGombard to ask, “CouldGlenda send a note?”

Consequently, CherylGormbard had rubberstamps made with a gooseimage and webbed foot-prints. She also bought get-well cards with pictures ofgeese, which she would thensend to the child, stampedand signed by Glenda.

During a career in nurs-ing, Cheryl Gormbardworked as a registered nurseat the Veterans Administra-tion Hospital and at Water-bury Hospital and in privateduty. Yet, all the while shewas tending to others, shewas not well herself.

But her health issues nev-er kept her down, her hus-band said. “She always had asmile. Even when she wassick, she would never com-plain about her problems.”

The late CherylGormbard sewed andcrafted many of theoutfits and accessoriesfor Glenda who hasabout 50 outfits in herspectacular wardrobe.

Trout Brook Road residentDavid Dent’s quarterly waterbill from the South CentralConnecticut Regional WaterAuthority was exactly thesame as the bill from thesame time period last year —down to the gallon.

Dent’s bill says that fromSept. 27 to Dec. 20, 2012, hishousehold used 33 CCF, or24,684 gallons, of water, thesame amount as the same pe-riod in 2011.

“They happen to be exactlythe same, to the gallon.That’s impossible,” he said.

Dent said a friend wholives in Cheshire had thesame problem. Anotherfriend was only billed for hiswater connection and not us-age. It may only be a few dol-lars’ worth of a discrepancyin a bill, but Dent said, “IfI’m getting misbilled a little,someone might be gettingmisbilled a lot more.”

Jean Dyer, vice presidentof service and technology forthe South Central Connecti-cut Regional Water Authori-ty, confirmed that the bill was

correct. She said it is not un-usual for that to happen andboth billings were the resultof “actual reads” of the me-ter.

She said the authoritymeasures in hundred cubicfeet, and 3,300 cubic feetworks out to 24,684 gallons.She said extra gallons usedare usually rounded off intothe next reading period.

Dent said the water au-thority had accounting is-sues last year and hired aconsultant to address them,and presumably the problemwas fixed, but now he is un-certain. Dyer joined the au-thority last January and hadconsultants come in and cus-tomize the customer serviceand billing software systemthat had been installed in2010.

She said the authority washaving bigger billing discrep-ancies, for example, expect-ing a customer to have usedhundreds of CCFs but read-ings only showing they hadused 20. She said problemswould occur when, for in-stance, a family of five wouldmove out and one personwould replace them.

It was a SCC Housatonicdivisional clash inside FredSchipke Gymnasium as AlexMcKay and the Lyman HallTrojans hosted Collin Jordanand the Cheshire Rams onFriday night.

It was a hard-fought battleby both squads, but the visit-ing Rams ultimately tri-umphed 56-48.

The underdog Trojans es-tablished an 11-7 lead afterone quarter. The Rams got ontop 20-18 by halftime, thenslowly, but steadily pulledaway by answering LymanHall scoring spurts withbursts of their own.

“Games usually comedown to runs and Cheshirehad a couple runs in themlate and finished,” said Ly-man Hall coach Jim DiNello.“But I’m proud of my kids’ ef-fort tonight. We played ex-tremely well.”

Lyman Hall, despite agame-high 21 points fromAlex McKay, fell for a sixthstraight time to go to 1-10overall and 0-4 in the Housy.

Cheshire, which got 14points from Jordan and 10from Andrew Yamin, won itssecond straight to improve to5-4 overall and 2-2 in the divi-sion.

The Trojans came out ofthe gates hot, building their11-7 first-quarter lead behindMcKay’s dominant paintpresence. He scored eight ofhis team’s points in the open-ing frame.

“McKay does a great job in-side,” said Cheshire coachDan Lee. “He really got usinto foul trouble early and wehad to adjust accordingly toget back into our style ofplay.”

Following a sluggish firstquarter, the Rams began tosettle in, attacking on offensewith quick decisive passesinto the paint. That set up theperimeter for the Dietrich

brothers, Eric and Kevin, fora couple of 3-pointers thathelped put the Rams up 20-18by the break.

Cheshire carried the mo-mentum into the second half,opening with a 10-7 run totake its largest lead of thecontest to that point, 30-25.

The Trojans were unde-terred, as Eric Beardsleyfound his rhythm from be-yond the arc, nailing a con-tested 3-pointer to pull thehome team to within two latein the third.

By the end of the quarter,though, LH was back downby five, 38-33.

It all began to unravel forthe Trojans early in the

fourth quarter when Jordanpoked the ball away fromMcKay and drove the lengthof the floor, finishing with anold-fashioned three-pointplay that gave the Rams a 10-point advantage.

“You can’t say enoughabout Collin Jordan,” saidLee. “He puts up points, butmost of his work you reallydon’t see in the stat book. Hishustle and his drive are un-matched.”

Just as they did all game,the Trojans went on a swiftrun, strong-arming their wayback to within five points.But the red and black weren’t

Ram Notes

Girls basketballCareer 71, Cheshire 47:

Career lived up to its No. 2state ranking withthe SCC interdivi-sional win againstCheshire, but Rams’coach Sarah Mik sawreason to be opti-mistic.

“I loved our fightfrom start to finish,”Mik said. “If we fight likethat in the second half of theseason, we should be success-ful. That’s what you want tosee from your team. You wantto see some fight.”

Junior Tanaya Atkinsonfinished with a game-high 20points for Career, 10-2 overall,while Charleese Smith added11 and Manhattan-bound sen-ior Alyssa Alston finishedwith 10.

Mik said Atkinson, Alstonand Panthers’ sophomorepoint guard Nicole Andersonare all “legitimate Division Ikids.”

“Our focus was on them,”the coach said. “We figured ifCareer was going to beat us,other kids would have to stepup for them, and they did.They had some kids step upand make some shots. Youpick your battles.”

Missy Bailey was the onlyCheshire player to reach dou-ble figures with 16 points.Bry McIntosh, EmmaGorham, Kya O’Donnell andSara Como all finished withsix points.

The Rams moved to 6-5overall.

“We talked to them afterthe game about how hardthey fought and how we canbottle it and figure out howwe can bring it every, singlenight,” Mik said.

Amity 48, Cheshire 40:After struggling from the out-side for three quarters, theSpartans found the range inthe fourth, when theyoutscored the Rams 23-9 towin the SCC Housatonic

matchup in Woodbridge.The result knocked

Cheshire (6-7, 2-2 Housy) outof a three-way tie for first in

the division and leftAmity (9-2, 3-1)squared with Shee-han.

The Spartans hitfour of their six 3-pointers in the fourthquarter and also

went 11-for-16 from the line inthe final frame. Chloe Brin-ton led the way, drainingthree treys and canning sev-en of 10 free throws en routeto her game-high 22 points.

Lauren Como (13 points)and Missy Bailey (10) hitthree 3-pointers each forCheshire.

Boys swimmingAmity 96, Cheshire 81:

The Spartans topped theRams at the Orange Commu-nity Center in a battle of SCCunbeatens.

The outlook appearedrather bleak for the NorthHaven/Amity/Cheshire girlsice hockey team.

The Blades knew they hada huge mountain to climbJan. 14 when they traveled tomeet West Hartford’s defend-ing state champion, the co-opteam from Hall/Conard.

The WarChiefs, havinglost just one starter off theteam that upset New Canaanin the 2011-12 final, areamong the state’s finest in asport that continues to evolvedespite its unsanctioned sta-tus with the CIAC.

When the WarChiefsscored three unansweredfirst-period goals and addedanother early in the second,the Blades were skating onthin ice. Hall/Conard was fly-ing up and down VeteransMemorial Rink like it couldname the score, but some-thing dramatic happened af-ter the fourth goal.

The Blades, representing asix-year collaboration of thethree schools, showed thatmoving to the sport’s upper

echelon may not be too faraway.

Thanks in part to signifi-cant contributions from twoCheshire skaters – center An-drea Noss and defensemanAbbie Lange – the Bladessmothered the Hall/Conardattack and scored two goalsbefore an empty-net goal leftthe final score at 5-2.

Noss and Lange are teamcaptains along with SarahKalina.

Tony Carbone, Cheshire’srepresentative on the four-man coaching staff, left WestHartford with enthusiasmfor what he feels the Bladescan accomplish.

“Despite the scoreboardending up the wrong way, I’mproud of our girls for contin-uing to put the pressure on,”Carbone said. “We took it tothem for two-plus periodsand that’s all we can ask ofthem right now. It’s a youngteam. It’s a building team. Incertain positions we’re weak-er than others so we try toadapt all around us.”

The situation in goal is aprime concern. ShannonEarly got the nod againstHall/Conard and although

she struggled at the start, herperformance from midpointof the second period on wasvirtually flawless. Thebackchecking also improvedin the game’s latter stages.

The team has 28 players,six from Cheshire, In addi-tion to Noss and Lange, theCheshire girls are RachelKozak, Bailie Violano, Lau-ren Blackwell and Carbone’sdaughter, Alexa Carbone.Coach Carbone expects thatnumber to soar in the nearfuture.

“Not to put the cart infront of the horse but nextyear I anticipate 10 or more,”he said. “I was just at aneighth-grade open house andmet five more skaters fromCheshire, plus a goalie whichis key for us. None of ourCheshire skaters are upper-classmen – they’re all fresh-man, sophomore, junior – sowe’re excited for Cheshire.”

Against Hall/Conard,Lange was assertive on de-fense, often bringing thepuck out of the defensivezone, initiating offense andmanning the point.

“She’s a solid player bothways,” Carbone said. “She’s

got a good shot and she’s asmart player.”

Noss was among theBlades’ pre-eminent offen-sive players scoring thethird-period goal and orches-trating attacks on theHall/Conard goal that woundup with good shots. Her wristshot with 2:10 remaining inthe game was saved byWarChiefs goalie LaurenSorgio. Another wrist shot 15seconds later sliced outsidethe right post.

Alexa Carbone and Vi-olano contributed on theBlades’ second line.

“They created some oppor-tunities and some chaos outthere,” Coach Carbone said.

The team’s coaching staff,headed by Scott Whyte, is inits first season. John Peschelland D.K. Maus are the others.Carbone said the quartet hassuccessfully directed theteam through the problemat-ical administrative dutiesthat come with amalgamat-ing a three-school operation.

“It’s difficult. You havethree athletic directors so wework around all that, but Ithink we’ve worked out someof those kinks. Things are go-

ing pretty good,” he said.“We get good support fromall the schools.”

One of the problems isfunding. Neither Cheshirenor North Haven providesany.

“Cheshire and NorthHaven girls pay for them-selves to play,” Carbone said.“Amity does subsidize withsome funding.”

His excitement for the fu-ture is palpable.

“I think last year they had16 skaters. We have 28skaters this year, so that’sprogress,” he said.

The team chose not toadopt any of the individualschools’ nicknames, insteadchoosing Blades, which hashistorical significance in theNew Haven area. The NewHaven Blades enjoyed sub-stantial fan interest playingin the Eastern HockeyLeague out of the old NewHaven Arena from 1954-72.The team uses a snappy logowith Blades in script super-imposed on crossed hockeysticks and the names of thethree schools underneath.
