Connecticut Guild of Pup-petry members Marty Rob-inson and Pam Arciero will be showcased in the latest installment of The Muppets movie franchise, “Muppets Most Wanted,” which opened March 21.

The pair provide voice and manipulation for their char-acters, Telly and Grungetta, in both the film and on the children’s television show “Sesame Street,” which regu-larly features Muppets.

Past guild member Carroll Spinney portrays Big Bird in both his big and small screen incarnations.

Connecticut Guild of Puppetry treasurer Donna

Mark has been with the or-ganization for 25 years. The guild, a nonprofit that serves the state’s puppetry pro-fessionals and amateurs, lists its address as that of Mark, who is also the presi-dent of Friends of Cheshire Performing and Fine Arts/Artsplace.

Mark builds puppets. Puppetry is most commonly associated with puppeteers, but the guild, which has about 50 active and retired members, is open to any-one involved in the art form, which also includes pup-pet show writers and music composers.

Artsplace puppetry teacher Robin McCahill has been a member almost as long as Mark and is a former board

member.McCahill also performs

puppet shows independently, having done so most recently at the Artsday festival. Her next show will be on Earth Day.

Tom Fogarty, who has been with the guild since its found-ing in 1975 in the Fairfield County region — and be-fore that its predecessor, the Puppetry Fellowship — is one of the group’s amateur mem-bers. He was a fifth-grade teacher in Redding who dis-covered his puppetry passion when he began to use pup-pets as an instructional tool.

Most professionals in the guild have only a part-time involvement with puppetry

After its approval of a $294,000 contract earlier this month with local trash hauler AJ Waste Systems LLC to provide bulky waste collection, the Town Council unanimously ap-proved appropriation of the funds during a special session March 20.

The service is slated to begin April 14, the first time it will be available in Cheshire since 2008. Different sections of town will be scheduled for pickup on different days of the week.

The town will notify res-idents of their renewed ac-cess to the service, as well

Younger generations may find it hard to believe, but advances for women, espe-cially in the field of medicine, have been relatively recent. Audience members at a re-cent Wallingford-Cheshire League of Women Voters “Women in History” presen-tation at Cheshire Town Hall, were reminded of the fact by a panel of local women distin-guished in their work in the medical field.

Panelists for the “Women in Medicine” event included Cindy Russo, Senior Vice President of Operations at MidState Medical Center, Dr. Vicki Ehrlich, M.D. and Sally Schrumm, APRN (advanced practiced registered nurse), both of Gaylord Hospital.

Ehrlich, a board-certified internist in practice for 30 years, spoke of gender bias when she began her search for medical schools. Biases were reflected, at the time, in the extremely low enrollment numbers for women in med-

ical schools. Most schools were not open to women, she said. By the late 1960s, only a small percentage of women were in medical schools—something like 3 percent, said Ehrlich. Following the tumul-tuous political and cultural period, there were new laws created to help give equal ac-cess to women seeking medi-cal degrees, she said.

Schrumm, an APRN, with post-graduate education in nursing, relayed an anecdote from just a few short decades ago. “There were two sepa-rate sides [at the nurse’s sta-tion]. We had our own side. But if there wasn’t enough room when a [male] doc-tor came in, he would wait for one of us to move,” she said. However, go back to the 1940s, and nurses would have to rise and stand when a doctor came into the room, she said.

Cindy Russo impressed audience members, includ-ing Diane Calabro of the Cheshire Historical Society,

when talking about chal-lenges women face. “She called them her “Five F’s” – Family & Friends, Fashion & Fitness, Financial, Fear & Fortitude, and Fame,” said Calabro. She related differ-ent examples for each. For in-stance, Family & Friends may applaud the success of a man but be puzzled or concerned about a woman’s success.”

Sizing up financial consid-erations, Russo concluded that women still make 80 cents for every dollar a man earns. Russo is the kind of woman that seems to have known what she wanted from Day One, said Calabro. “She is the best result of good

mentoring, good advice, level ambition, and a strong and practical work ethic.”

While a few decades back, attitudes may have been “condescending” toward fe-males in medicine, Schrumm offered that a woman is more apt to have a patient mistake a female doctor for a nurse, for example, then for col-leagues to do so.

“More women entering the [medical] workforce exacted a change,” said Ehrlich.

The Cheshire Wallingford League of Women Voters is a non-partisan political orga-nization of women and men, founded in 1920. Get more in-formation at lwvct.org. The LWV also is on Facebook.

Renowned blackjack pro-fessional Richard Harvey wants to introduce players to a new way of approaching the game, one that “will turn any player into a winner,” ac-cording to gaming publica-tion The Colorado Gambler.

Harvey, who refers to himself as a “strategist, re-searcher, and player,” re-vealed his basic methods at a March 26 seminar at the Cheshire Public Library, a compressed version of ones he teaches professionally.

Harvey said that if people use any strategy system in blackjack at all, it’s typically

“card-counting,” a technique popularized in movies that involves keeping tally of the high and low cards left in the deck based on the cards that have appeared. The method was invented in the 1950s and 60s by non-card players who have admitted that it doesn’t work, he said.

Harvey invented a system that he says does work—one that he has been refining for decades—called “Cutting Edge Blackjack,” which is based on basic concepts of probability. He said his meth-ods can transform amateurs into true “advantage players,” or those who use systematic strategies to gain a mathe-matical edge in the game.

Harvey’s system is predi-cated on simple calculations of the probable outcomes of hands based on dealers’ and players’ cards. He teaches players how to mentally tab-ulate the mathematical like-

lihood of the dealer going bust versus that of their own. These computations should dictate a players’ card strat-egy within each hand, he said.

He also teaches players to identify and take advan-tage of repeating card pat-terns. Mathematicians have

conducted card-based stud-ies and concluded that cards do not emerge from the deck randomly, he said.

Harvey said his strategy is conservative and focuses on helping players win more

Muppets

and have supplementary incomes.

“Puppeteers are kind of starving artists,” Mark said.

Though, as is the case with The Muppets franchise, some members have achieved suc-cessful careers.

The guild gives scholar-ships to its members and others to attend the National Puppetry Conference in Waterford — McCahill is a former recipient — which consists of an intensive se-ries of workshops, as well as the performance-focused National Puppetry Festival, which is held in different lo-

cations, but will be hosted by the University of Connecticut in 2015.

To fund the scholar-ships, the organization holds “American Idol”-style fundraisers, only with pup-pet-wielding contestants and Muppet judges, Mark said.

The enduring appeal of The Muppets shows that “puppetry is still a viable art form,” said Fogarty, who constructed “Muppet-style puppets,” for his classroom lessons.

He credits Jim Henson, who created The Muppets in 1955, with developing a style of puppets that was “totally unique” at the time, those

with moving mouths.Guild members do not per-

form as a unit. Instead, the group sponsors puppet shows in towns across the state and holds at least five meetings per year in conjunction with the events.

The guild has strong ties to UConn, whose master’s and bachelor’s programs in puppet arts — the first in the country and still one of few in existence — were started by deceased guild member Frank Ballard, a professor in the school’s Dramatic Arts Department.

The organization’s next meeting will be on the school’s campus in April, when members are slated to view thesis productions from puppet arts degree candidates.

The group also holds an Annual Day of Puppetry, featuring performances and workshops. In 2012, the event was held at Artsplace and fea-tured a performance in honor of Sterling Jewett, one of the original board members of the Cheshire Performing and Fine Arts Committee.

The group will sponsor an-other puppet performance at Artsplace in September.

The guild is chartered by The Puppeteers of America. It was the first in the nation to receive the organization’s outstanding guild award.

“We’re regarded as one of the stronger guilds for what

we do and how we do it,” Fogarty said.

Heyel perfoms regularly on local broadcast television shows, birthday parties and at community events. The guild provides a meeting place and forum where people with an interest of the art form share knowledge, ideas, trends, and creative endeavors. | (Dave Zajac / Special to The Citizen)

The 26th annual Artsday, a celebration of hands-on art projects for children, drew hundreds of budding artists March 16.

The event had a “Found Art” theme. The 16 artists who taught emphasized in projects that used recycled or found materials.

Ah Moi Yip taught origami using recycled newspaper. An hour into the event, a line formed around her table, with children eager to make boxes, flowers, and small animals out of the folded paper.

Kayla Sotero, 8, of Cheshire, was one of those in line, say-ing that origami was sure to be her favorite part of the day.

Jillian Manning, 12, also from Cheshire, said that this was her third year coming to Artsday. She shared Sotero’s excitement over the origami.

The free event, which drew 600 last year, is sponsored by the Cheshire Performance and Fine Arts Committee, and Artsplace.

Spring can bring renewal and balance to life

As I write, the outdoor thermometer is regis-tering above 32 degrees, Daylight Savings Time has begun, and the blanket of snow—a fixture since December— is receding every day. The edges of reservoirs and ponds are liquid once again; it won’t be long before their cover of ice melts under the warming sun’s gaze.

Mirroring these external signs of spring’s approach, I sense in myself rising energy, and an eager-ness to throw off winter’s encum-brances. As welcome as winter’s cozy interiority has been, I am ready to start working off a list entitled “Spring Chores,” ready to get my bicycle out of hibernation and to see bulbs pushing their way above the soil.

As ready as I am for this new season, I know that along with nature’s quickening will come a quickening pace of life. Soon enough our calendars will fill with graduations, family celebrations, and end of the school year events. Soon enough, we will wonder why we are so tired and frayed and in need of vacation.

This spring, before this sea-son of newness goes by in one big

blur, I want to recall some words of wisdom from an old friend. Bernard of Clairvaux was a 12th cen-tury French abbot, theo-logian, and poet. Though his words were written to church leaders some 900 years past, they are time-

less wisdom for anyone who wres-tles with keeping balance in the swirl of life’s busyness.

Bernard suggests that humans have a tendency to be like canals, those channels that receive wa-ter on one end, convey it across their length, and pour it out on the other end. Too often we tend to do the same. We have relation-ships and experiences that fill us with joy and blessing, but instead of steeping in the moment, we let the moment pass us by. Like ca-nals, we can be conveyers of life that merely passes through our hands. We constantly give away our selves, our time, and our en-ergy. And worse, we can give away too much of ourselves in the pro-cess and become depleted, out of balance.

Instead of being like a canal, Bernard would have us be like a reservoir which, when it re-ceives its water, doesn’t let it go, but waits until it is filled before it overflows. Reservoirs give of their

water when there is enough to spill off into the canal. In their giving, reservoirs do not lose anything of themselves; they keep that essen-tial balance.

Keeping balance, taking time for oneself is not a selfish act; it is essential to our being. Keeping ourselves filled and then giving to others from our fullness, from the best of ourselves, is a gift to those in our lives. It lends vitality to our passions, to our work, to the world.

May this spring be for you a time of balance and centeredness, and of finding renewal in the midst of giving and receiving.

Norton Elementary School student Caroline Villecco, 9, recently explored the world of acting and found herself cast in an episode of the hit television show “Law and Order.” She also was called up as an extra in the Russell Crowe-Colin Farrell movie, “Winter’s Tale” which was filmed in New York City.

For “Law and Order,” Caroline and her mother drove to New York City, where Caroline played an extra, a non-speaking part. “It was cool. I had different costumes,” said Caroline of a wardrobe provided for her role.

This was her first on-cam-era job and Caroline said, “I was nervous, but not shak-ing.” She felt better af-ter “chilling out and joking around” with fellow child ac-tor Christopher Liam Gentry, who is currently on the HBO series, “Boardwalk Empire.”

After the first time the cam-era was on her, Carolyn said she got used to it. “I wasn’t

nervous anymore.”In one scene, Caroline

plays a young sister to two brothers. She runs out the front door with her broth-ers and down the steps of the family’s brownstone.

Caroline is the daughter of Dave and Lauren Villecco, of Cheshire. “It was filmed right on the street in Chelsea,” said Lauren Villecco, who works as an editorial assistant in the Record-Journal weeklies department.

“The crew was so amazing with the kids,” said Caroline’s mother. “It was so exciting for her.”

The episode aired in January.

Winters Tale is a $60 mil-lion Warner Bros. P-13 movie that opened Feb. 14. Along with Farrell and Crow, the cast was full of stars, includ-ing Will Smith and Eva Marie Saint. The scene Caroline was cast in was filmed in Brooklyn. The set was lo-cated in an old bank from the late-1800s. Caroline didn’t receive her schedule until the night before and some-times was required to be

on set at 6:30 a.m. She and her mother drove to the city daily for filming. Caroline spent several days shooting the same scene with other extras. “It took so long to get (the scene filmed) with so many more people,” Caroline said. In between the takes,

actors and extras waited in a holding room with catering. Principal actors Crowe and Farrell filmed in various other locations in the city.

“She ultimately was in a scene that was cut,” said Lauren Villecco, “but it was a great experience for her to

look back on someday.” Caroline Villecco is not

sure if she will continue to pursue acting as currently she is involved in cheerlead-ing and tumbling classes and she likes to have time to hang out with her friends.

The Cheshire Community Food Pantry plans to pro-vide enhanced assistance to local families in need, thanks to state support secured by Senator Danté Bartolomeo. The funding, expected to be approved and released fol-lowing the meeting of the State Bond Commission, will allow for the construction of a new 3,500 square foot fa-cility in Cheshire.

The Cheshire Community Food Pantry currently serves 305 clients, an increase of 127 percent from the 240 clients served in November 2012. Of these 305, 29 percent are under 18 years of age. As need has increased in the past year, staff has found themselves constrained by a lack of space, forcing them to turn families and re-sources away. The new facility will allow the pantry to expand its unique style of service to the community. It uses a model that allows clients to select their own gro-ceries. This lets low income families in crisis receive the food they need to sustain themselves, while also encour-aging them through independent choice.

Book sale successTo the editor:The Friends of the Cheshire Public

Library book sale team would like to extend thanks to the many people who help support the library. Through your amazing donations of gently used books, we continue doing our part “reduce, reuse and recycle.” Your

amazing donation of “older” books led to the first ever vintage book sale on March 13. Due to the efforts of the volunteers, we made over $2,000. All funds will be used to provide special programs at the library.

SOUTHINGTON — Members and residents at the Alzheimer’s Resource Center of CT often are the ones being looked after, but it hasn’t stopped them from selling jewelry and baked goods to raise money for others in need. Clients and residents come to the non-profit adult daycare and residential center from Cheshire, Plainville, Waterbury, Southington, Meriden, Bristol and other communities.

Those clients and residents work year-round making handmade beaded jewelry and ceramics, to sell at the organization’s annual holiday charity sale. This past year they raised $1,000, which was do-nated to the March of Dimes late last month.

Staff members say preparing for the event helps residents in

their “creative expression and goal setting.”

“We try to create programs that maintain independence while having fun,” said Grace Martha, therapeutic recreation director. “Ultimately, we want our programs to be meaningful and mentally simulating.”

“As individuals learn that they have a diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease or dementia they often be-come the recipient of more and more help,” said Chelsea Norton, Director of Day Services. “Our pro-grams at the center, including our creative arts charity group, are de-signed to foster a sense of contin-ued purpose and meaning.”

Past recipients of the holiday charity fair have included Food Share, Channel 3 Kids Camp, Sandy Relief Effort, and Alex’s Lemonade Stand.

The town plans to continue with a road maintenance program that has cost $7.5 million over the past five years.

Cheshire shifted its focus to paving after it completed major road construction and recon-struction projects in the early 2000s, said Town Manager Mi-chael A. Milone.

In 2008, town roads received an average rating of 76 on the 100-point “pavement condition index,” a score that is considered “fair.” The metric used for the rat-ing was developed by the Army Corps of Engineers. The scores of individual roads became the basis for the town’s paving decisions, Milone said.

After the road rating, the Town Council began appropriating $1.5 million a year for paving, an un-dertaking that raised the average score of Cheshire’s roads to 81 when a second pavement analy-sis was done in 2013. The score is considered a “satisfactory” rat-ing on the index. The town’s high-est-rated roads received scores of 100, while its lowest-rated was given a 44, said Public Works Di-rector George Noewatne.

Noewatne said 81 is an excel-lent score for New England roads. “Unlike some areas of the coun-try, you have to combat a whole lot of issues” such as harsh win-ters and spring thaws that cause cracks, he said.

Milone said the progress has encouraged the town to acceler-ate its paving program. The Town Council raised this year’s appro-priation for road maintenance to $1.75 million.

The town’s long-range paving plans assume identical funding for the next four years, though the council must allocate the money each year, Milone said.

Three rounds of paving are planned this year, with the first scheduled for late May or early June, the second for mid-summer, and the third for fall. Three types of paving will be done, Noewatne said.

Public Works employees will survey roads in the spring to iden-tify candidates for crack sealing: Compressed air is used to “blow out” a crack in the road, then an

asphalt-based adhesive is injected into it, which binds to the existing asphalt to create a watertight seal, Noewatne said. The technique is used for roads with cracks that are spaced about 100 or more feet apart, he said.

Other roads will be designated for chip sealing: They will be coated in their entirety by a mix-ture of asphalt and stone chips. The procedure is designed for roads that have more pavement irregularities than can reason-ably be fixed by crack sealing, Noewatne said. “It’s a crack seal of the entire road surface.” The coating enhances tire traction on the road surface, making it more “skid-resistant,” he said.

Almost seven miles of road will undergo milling and paving: Between 1.5 and 2 inches will be milled from the road surface be-fore repaving to restore the road to its original level. This tech-nique is reserved for roads in the poorest condition, Noewatne said.

alert system and cable access.Allocated funds wil l

come from two sources: The Connecticut Resource Recovery Authority fund — comprised of surplus year-

to-year appropriations for the town’s use of Wallingford’s waste-to-energy facility — will supply $200,000, and the town’s rainy day fund will provide the remaining

$94,000. A public hearing was held prior to the vote, as is re-quired for any appropriation in excess of $175,000 but no members of the public were in attendance.

Town Manager Michael A. Milone suggested that the absence of residents at the hearing was indicative of the widespread public support for the program. “I know ev-erybody’s happy, based on the turnout tonight,” he said.

Councilor Robert J. Oris agreed that residents have been vocal in expressing sup-port for the return of the ser-vice and called the deal “very financially feasible.”

The appropriation in-creases the town’s general fund operating budget from $100,331,020 to $100,625,020 and the Public Works Department budget from $5,342,381 to $5,636,381.

In other business:- Councilors unanimously

voted to approve plans for the partial roof replacement project at the high school that were recommended by the Public Building Commission. Councilor James Sima said the section of roof to be re-placed is above the school’s old band room and added that completing the project will be the school’s last step in converting to a membrane

roof, which will stop leaks that have been occurring from the old roof sections for six or seven years.

- The council voted 6-3 along party lines to autho-rize the Public Building Commission to hire Nowalk-based architects Stein-Troost for $42,000 as the building designers for the high school stadium bathroom and con-cession building project. Republicans Timothy P. Slocum, David Schrumm, James Sima, Sylvia Nichols, Rob Oris and Tom Ruocco supported the resolution; Democrats Patti Flynn-Harris, Peter Talbot and Liz Linehan opposed it.

Flynn-Harris said the Council was “piecemealing” renovations to the school’s athletic facilities by treating items as individual projects rather than incorporating them into the planned locker room overhaul project, which was approved in a 2009 referendum.

Oris said he shared his col-league’s concerns, but would still vote in favor of the item because of the condition of the bathrooms. “We should as a group be embarrassed” by the public restrooms, he said. “We deserve better bath-rooms and we deserve them now. They’re gross.”

rounds in an hour or two than they lose. “Blackjack is a win-nable game,” he said.

In his system, victory is not dependent on having a “winning hand,” Harvey said. “We make our own winning hands or winning situations,” he said.

Like his strategic system, Harvey has also refined his in-

structional methods through-out his career. Conducting free library workshops helps him determine what players at different expertise lev-els need to learn and how to most effectively commu-nicate that information, he said. His seminar employed both low and high-tech com-ponents, complementing card demonstrations with a power point presentation.

No evaluations of individual teachersOne of the state’s top attor-

neys has told a coalition of teachers, parents and school officials suing the state over school-funding levels that the Office of the Attorney General has reversed course and is no longer asking a judge to “compel” the release of thousands of individual teacher evaluations.

“In order to fully and finally put to rest any concerns that the State seeks or will seek

data identifying the evalua-tions of individual teachers in this matter, we have chosen to withdraw our request to com-pel production of any individ-ual teacher evaluations, even

in redacted form,” Associate Attorney General Joseph Rubin wrote in a letter to the plaintiffs late Thursday. “The State will rebut any claims by CCJEF of poor quality teach-

ing by other evidence. We have been, and will remain, sensitive to the privacy con-cerns of teachers as we move forward.”

This reversal came hours

after The Connecticut Mirror first reported on the state’s re-quest that a Hartford Superior Court judge order seven of the state’s lowest-perform-ing school districts to turn over individual assessments. School officials and teachers’ unions balked at the request.

“To allow these evalua-tions to be disclosed, even in redacted form, and with-out consent of teachers, breaches the confidentiality our teachers anticipated,”

Pat Archibald doesn’t just have a yard at her home in Cheshire. She has a wildlife habitat with backyard cer-tification from the National Wildlife Foundation.

The focal point for NWF wildlife habitat certification is to make landscapes more hospitable to bees, birds, butterflies and other wild-life, whether it’s a suburban yard, commercial plot, or rural locale. Steps to NWF certification include incor-porating native plants, water and shelter sources into the landscape. As president of the Suburban Garden Club of Cheshire, Archibald has en-couraged her members to be-come certified.

In Archibald’s case, her property has three open sides, bordered by a pond and woods. “We’ve tried to keep our property natural, to blend into the woods and pond. [Wildlife] just moved in, so we’re a native habitat without really trying,” Archibald said. The SGC president explained her neighborhood has green belt or areas of undeveloped land, which has allowed wild-life to flourish. Going through the NWF certification was

an educational process for Archibald. “It reminded me of what we shouldn’t be do-ing; more importantly, why we shouldn’t be doing it.”

Through SGC and the Federated Garden Clubs of America, the goal is to create more greenbelts, Archibald said. “It’s important, not only for the wildlife inhabitants of a specific area, but for mi-grating species who travel long distances and need food

along the way. Each backyard can be a little step along that migration route.”

SGC members Dean Delgiudice and George Jones are owners of Plantsville Pines, a three-acre private residence in Plantsville with magnificent formal and country cottage gar-dens. “Plantsville Pines has always been a natural habi-tat for wildlife,” Delgiudice said. However, through SGC, the owners recently had the property formally certified by NWF.

Delgiudice and Jones have been gardening in Plantsville for the past 11 years. “We have always had a passion for gardening. The soil here

in Plantsville is perfect for perennials.”

Plantsville Pines is sur-rounded by spruce, fir trees and native pines and “creates a shelter for birds and ani-mals,” said Delgiudice. Brush piles and compost also allow wildlife to feel safe from peo-ple and predators, he said. “The gardens provide many types of nectars, seeds, ber-ries, nuts and fruits for food sources.”

A natural water source draws in wood ducks and mallards. Wildlife sightings include fox, rabbits, turtles and more and the homeown-ers believe the presence of wildlife helps to create a bal-anced ecosystem.

This year will see a change, with a large section of the garden dedicated to aid the global effort to repopulate the monarch butterfly. Delgiudice and Jones plan to plants sev-eral different types of milk-weed to start.

In Meriden, SGC member Lucinda Perry lives on one-eighth of an acre of land. Perry thought getting NWF certification would be a good way to show others that “you don’t need a lot of land to at-tract and nurture wildlife.”

She met the NWF qualifica-tions for certification, for ex-ample, by supplying wildlife food sources with grapevine, yew and strawberry plants for berries, as well as cle-thra, “It’s irresistible to but-terflies.” She also has phlox, liatris, and echinacea (cone-flowers) for seeds, pollen, and nectar. She has nesting spots, rock piles and walls for shelter and keeps birdbaths full for water sources.

Perry is happy to feed all wildlife from butterfly to bat, to birds and squirrels. Various animals visit her yard, often sharing seeds from what the birdfeeder of-fers. Evenings brings skunks and the occasional possum. “I think people need to rethink what are ‘pests’,” said Perry of those homeowners who may not want a particular type of wildlife to visit. “There is no such thing as unwanted wild-life in my yard.”

Energy projects planned in upcoming months

A townwide energy effi-ciency program is set to be-gin in late spring or early summer. It will involve 157 energy efficiency projects in municipal and school buildings.

Projects range from con-version from electric to gas heating and boiler upgrades in schools to installation of windows in town buildings. About 80 percent of the work will be done in the schools.

The work will be overseen by Massachusetts-based energy management firm Ameresco. Projects will be financed through anticipated energy cost savings and util-ity rebates.

Ameresco will provide upfront funding and absorb costs if the expected cost savings do not materialize. The total cost of the proj-ects is expected to be around $10.2 million.

“The money for this does not come from town cof-fers,” said Town Councilor James M. Sima at the March 11 council meeting. “It’s paid for through savings.”

The council unanimously approved an Energy Services Agreement with Ameresco, which specifies the terms and conditions of the program.

The agreement “allows Ameresco to get started,” Sima said, adding that Town Attorney Al Smith had re-viewed the document and found nothing objection-able. In a memo to council-ors, Town Manager Michael A. Milone called the agree-ment “the catalyst for ex-ecuting and implementing this plan.”

At the meeting, Milone said work will begin in 60 to 90 days once other con-tractual issues are resolved.

“This is pretty much the last step,” he said.

Councilor Rob Oris ques-tioned the legal liability limit to Ameresco in the agree-ment, which caps claims the town can file at $1 million per incident and $2 million over-all. He said $2 million per claim and $5 million over-all is common in the private sector. Smith said the limits apply only to claims filed by Cheshire, not individuals, and the town’s claims would not be subject to limitations in certain circumstances.

Vincent Masciana, direc-tor of management services for Cheshire Public Schools, also notified councilors that the district may request $100,000 in case the energy projects require asbestos re-moval. He said the district had given Ameresco a copy of its asbestos management plan, which details the loca-tions where the substance can be found, but wants to be prepared in case previ-ously unknown asbestos is discovery.

“This has been a long process and long overdue,” Councilor Patti-Flynn Harris said of the energy initiative. “It will bring tremendous savings to the town.”

Cheshirepedia raised over $3,000.00 with its recent Kickstarter project to help launch the Cheshirepedia website and provide funds to help file its 501(c)(3) non-profit status application. The project ended on March 15 and work has already begun to get the website up and running by May 1. Articles and photos are ready to be launched on Cheshirepedia as soon as the infrastructure of the website is finalized.

“Without the help of the folks who wish to see this project benefit the Cheshire community and who do-nated their time and money to help us it would’ve been very difficult to get this website started. Now we have to proceed to the next stage: get the website fully oper-ational and complete the process to apply for non-profit status,” said Cheshirepedia President John Fournier.

Cheshirepedia’s Kickstarter project can still be viewed on the Kickstarter website at kickstarter.com. Once Cheshirepedia is launched visitors to the website can begin to explore the many topics about Cheshire, from apples to zoning.

Articles and photos will be added continuously to ex-pand the site. Town Historian Jeanné Chesanow said, “This website will be a work in progress. The journey is just beginning and we hope that people in town will want to get involved with the project that will be a resource for all of Cheshire.”

Those who would like to get involved in this project can email [email protected].
