‘Typical’ siblings are youngest members of Cheshire Symphony

In many ways, Tyler and Jessica Tan are like typical 10- and 13-year-olds. They go to school, do homework, watch TV, play sports — Jes-sica swims, Tyler takes karate — and spend time with their friends.

Unlike most of their peers, the Tans are also profes-sional-caliber violinists who spend hours each week playing with professional or professional-level adult musicians.

Tyler, a fourth-grader at Highland School who has been playing since age 5, and Jessica, a Dodd Middle School eighth-grader who has played since she was 7, are the youngest members of the Cheshire Symphony Or-chestra. The symphony also has two high school players, but all of its other members

are adults.The siblings have two-

hour rehearsals with the symphony on Mondays. The group held its annual spring concert April 28.

The musically gifted Tans — Tyler also plays the piano and Jessica the clarinet — take joint three-hour violin lessons from Shan Jiang of Trumbull, a private teacher who is a member of the New York Philharmonic. Jiang de-scribed Tyler and Jessica as “very persistent” students. His focus is on polishing their play and teaching them more sophisticated techniques, as well as giving them a founda-tion in music theory.

“There are quite a few fundamental things that can make the difference between an amateur player and profes-sional-level player,” he said, adding that the violin is one

Town seeks grants to help pay for W. Main sidewalk work

The town has found one possible way to finance the estimated $820,000 it will cost to renovate West Main Street sidewalks, one compo-

nent of its ongoing develop-ment project in the area.

Last month the Town Council authorized apply-ing for a $500,000 grant un-der the state’s Main Street Development Fund, a pro-gram that offers grants for

infrastructure improvement and commercial centers. The fund awarded its first round of grants in 2012.

Town Manager Michael A. Milone said if Cheshire receives the grant, the bal-ance of the project could be

funded by another grant from the state’s Small Town Eco-nomic Assistance Program, which it applied for previ-ously. “We want to have as many eggs in the basket as we can,” Milone said.

If the grants don’t materi-

alize, the project will require capital funding from the council.

Economic Development Coordinator Jerry Sitko said the sidewalk renovation is

one prong of a four-part plan for West Main Street devel-opment that also includes a street-scape project between Deepwood Drive and Warren Street that was finished last fall, proposed remediation of the town’s long abandoned Ball and Socket factory into an arts and cultural center and planned completion of the linear trail.

Cheshire’s ultimate goal is to establish a “village type commercial center in the West Main Street commercial area,” Sitko said. In order to realize this vision, the town needs sidewalks that provide safe and easy access to the area and link nearby neigh-borhoods, he said.

“The big thing is to cre-ate pedestrian thoroughfare and make the town more pe-

destrian friendly,” making it more attractive to retailers in the process, Milone said. “We want to make it a desti-nation,” he added. “Hopefully it becomes attractive enough that other businesses are drawn to the area.”

Milone said the town has already established uninter-rupted sidewalks on some extended sections of South Main Street, such as the stretch between Cook Hill Road and Cheshire Acad-emy. It now seeks to build similar connections for the West Main Street commer-cial center.

If Cheshire gets both grants, the sidewalk project could be done within a year, Milone said.

of the most challenging in-struments. “It takes years and years just to make it sound OK.”

Tyler and Jessica also par-ticipate in concerts with Ji-ang’s other students and perform in competitions as a duet. The pair took third place in an international com-petition at Carnegie Hall.

Aside from performances and private instruction, the Tans devote an average of an hour a day to individual prac-tice. Tyler said practicing on his own is critical.

“If I don’t practice, I’m gonna forget the technique,” he said.

He accepts the trade-offs of his intensive music schedule.

“Sometimes I don’t go to activities because I have a concert or something,” he said.

Jiang called Tyler a prodigy and one of his best students. Tyler has perfect pitch, Jiang explained, which is the abil-ity to identify and reproduce tones or series of tones with-out using any others for refer-ence. “He has very sensitive ears,” Jiang said.

Jessica said Tyler is twice as good as she was at the same age. Tyler called his sis-ter a role model who inspired him to take up the violin. Jes-sica believes that her brother would have discovered his gift eventually, even without her influence.

The siblings have honed their musical chemistry through their years of playing together. Tyler said they have developed the ability to com-municate wordlessly during performances.

Jessica said she and her brother help each other with their musical development but sometimes squabble about each other’s volume and degree of prominence in different sections of their duets.

Despite their progress to-ward mastering the violin, the duo has expressed the desire to have livelihoods outside of music. Tyler wants to be

a doctor or dentist and sees himself “playing music part time” as an adult, while Jes-sica refers to the violin as “more like a hobby” and said she’s “probably not going to pursue a career in music later on.”

Jiang is convinced the Tans “have the potential to be fu-ture artists” in the classical music field, but he won’t be dismayed if they follow other paths. He said he uses music lessons to teach his students parallel life lessons, such as the discipline and persever-ance necessary to overcome obstacles.

From the time he has spent with the Tans, Jiang is con-fident they will meet what-ever challenges they take on, whether in music or beyond.

“I’m quite happy for them,” he said.

Resident feedback wanted for town’s future planning

The town is seeking res-ident feedback on a wide range of issues, most relating to the areas of conservation and development.

A survey will be posted on the town website, distributed by mail, and made available in the senior center and se-lect grocery stores.

Respondents will be asked to answer questions about protecting natural resources,

affordable housing and what kinds of development the town should encourage.

The Plan of Conservation and Development Committee reviewed a preliminary draft of the survey Monday.

The committee is charged

with composing the plan, which will become Cheshire’s conservation and develop-ment blueprint until 2025.

The town must submit the new plan by July 2015.

The survey is a precur-sor to one or more public hearings.

Committee member Gil

Linder prepared draft ques-tions and presented them to his colleagues.

He divided them into cate-gories, including community identity, natural resources and open space, government services, and residential,

commercial and industrial development.

Committee member Diane Visconti suggested asking

parents whether their adult children could afford to live in Cheshire.

Linder said the central is-sue being posed to people is “development vs. non development.”

“We can do some things” to curb growth, he said. “But, we can’t start from scratch.”

Committee member John Kardaras said questions should emphasize trade-offs.

“Everybody is for open space conservation, but do you want to pay for it?”

The survey should be on online by the end of June.

Fit 4 U ‘not a gym’: it offers specialized fitness training

Newly opened Fit 4 U, the latest addition to Elm Street’s Watch Factory Shoppes, wants to clear up any miscon-ceptions created by its name.

“We’re not really a gym,” said co-owner Parker Porter.

“We are a results-based training facility,” said man-ager Loryn Watkinson.

Watkinson went through some of the distinctions. Fit 4 U has no sign-up fees and no contracts because “we want our clients to be happy about coming,” she said. Most cli-ents opt for month-to-month plans, although they can pay for single visits, she said.

Unlike many gyms, Fit 4 U staff members are all train-ers who have been certified by the National Academy of

Sports Medicine and are cre-dentialed in other specialty areas.

They also have a “pretty ridiculous amount of years of experience” as trainers and instructors, Porter said. Kevin Dean, co-owner of the Cheshire facility and owner of the original Middletown location, which he opened in 2008, has 12 years of personal training experience. Porter has eight.

Porter, who also teaches kickboxing, has unique qual-ifications. As a professional mixed martial arts fighter, his sessions are “not your aver-age cardio-kickboxing class” but instead are run “the exact way they would be in a kick-boxing facility, minus getting hit.” He said he teaches iden-tical techniques, footwork and drills.

Watkinson is a Star 3 spin-ning instructor — the highest rank in the field — who has been teaching for eight years. The facility also has certified nutritionists.

Although Fit 4 U staff members have an array of credentials and extensive experience, their number is only four. Porter said the small size “creates a fami-ly-type community that car-ries over to our clients.”

“We pride ourselves on knowing every client that walks through our doors,” Watkinson said.

Besides kickboxing and spinning, Fit 4 U also of-fers zumba and yoga. Wat-kinson said it is adding yoga classes, as well as pilates. “We’re expanding our pro-gram monthly,” she said of the facility, which opened in

February.All visitors to Fit 4 U are

entitled to take three free classes and have a free as-sessment, which involves a review of their medical his-tory, an overview of their life-style and completion of some basic physical exercises. The assessment is required to par-ticipate in the semi-private

training program.“It’s for us to get to know

the client and the client to get to know the program,” Wat-kinson said.

Trainers tailor clients’ training according to what they want to get out of it, Watkinson said. “We design a program exclusively for you to get to your goals,” she said.


The Cheshire Historical Society recently recognized one of its members during its April 28 Board of Directors’ meeting. CHS Membership Secretary, Brad Zambruski was acknowledged for contri-butions he has made to the so-ciety since 2008. Zambruski, who is a watch aficionado, ahas given presentations at CHS on his favorite topic. The board thanked him for his help in organizing and maintaining the our member-

ship list, revising the e-mail database and assisting in the distribution of the CHS news-letter. Zumbruski was gifted with the classic 1895 reference book, ‘Old Historic Homes of Cheshire,’ by E. R. Brown and J. R. Paddock covering the pe-riod 1694-1894. “It is long out of print. Only a few copies are available today, and it is highly treasured,” said Mary Ellen Kania, CHS Curator.

HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) — Eleven organizations, in-cluding retailers, schools and health care facilities, are be-ing honored by the state for cutting their energy con-sumption last summer.

The Department of En-ergy and Environmental Protection on recently rec-ognized organizations that reduced their electricity de-mand during the 2013 “peak demand” summer season. They must have reduced their power consumption between five to 20 percent, compared with the previous two summers.

They must have accom-plished the reduction with-out using backup diesel generators.

Southington High School received the Peak Performer Award for reducing its elec-tricity demand by 421 kilo-watts or 36 percent.

Other awardees are lo-cated in Danbury, Bridge-port, Woodbury, Cheshire, Fairfield, Beacon Falls, New Haven and New Canaan. Their combined efforts low-ered peak electricity demand by a total of 618 kilowatts, and carbon dioxide emissions by 175 tons.

Cheshire is among those lauded for energy conservation

BLESSING OF THE HORSES

Pastor Tom Buchan performs the Blessing of the Horses for the Cheshire Horse Council members and their steeds, Saturday, May 3, on the field of a Cook Hill Road farm. About a dozen horses were present, including quarter horses, Morgans, Tennessee walking horses, mustang, and American saddle-bred. The blessing was a first for the pastor, although he is an old hand when it comes to horses, having been around them since he was a young boy. After the blessing, CHC members took a leisurely two-hour trail ride, finishing up at a nearby ice cream stand in Cheshire. | Joy VanderLek \ The Cheshire Citizen.

HELP STAMP OUT HUNGER

United States Postal Service letter carriers marked the 22nd year for their annual food drive, “Stamp Out Hunger,” on Saturday, May 10. The drive benefits local food banks. Postcards announcing the food drive went out about a week in advance, asking residents to place bags of non-perishables by their mailboxes. The nationwide event also sees letter carriers in the 06410 zip code participate for local families in need. This year, Cheshire Community Food Pantry volunteers unloaded the donations, picked up by mail carriers on their Cheshire routes, and dropped off to the pantry at the end of the day. Some Cheshire residents also used the event as a teaching moment for their own children. “A great job letter carriers in snow, in sleet, in driving rain,” said CFP Executive Director Patty Hartmann who also thanked volunteers who helped with the effort. At the end of the drive, the pantry took in 3,910 pounds of food. “That’s down from last year but still very successful. It’s a day that the entire community works together,” she said. | Joy VanderLek \ The Cheshire Citizen

Debra Bond, Cheshire Academy’s director of health services recently was awarded the “Achievement in School Health Excellence.”

The national award in-cludes a $1,500 grant from Magnus Health of North Carolina. Staff at the Acade-my’s Richmond Health Cen-ter sees about 60 students a

day, along with a few faculty members, for a total of more than 7,000 visits this school year. It’s the Academy’s first year to use the Magnus sys-tem. Head Athletic Trainer Jennifer Tirillo nominated Bond for the award in Janu-ary. Bond is a pediatric nurse practitioner who has worked at the Academy since 2001.

More than 200 nomina-tions were received for the grant award which allows the recipient to decide how to use the funds. Bond plans to make life easier at the health center. Ergonomic chairs for the staff and simple medical equipment for students, such as more thermometers, are potential grant purchases.

Letters to the Editor

Book sale a successTo the editor:I would like to express

our thanks to the people of Cheshire for their generous

support of the Friends of the Library Spring Book Sale. We received an amazing supply of books from individual do-nors. A dedicated group, of year round volunteers, was

able to present “a well orga-nized, high quality book sale”. We made over $7,000 which will be used to sponsor spe-cial programs at the library. We hope you will look for our

special feature book sale each month in the lobby.

The Friends of the Library, an organization of volunteers, pays for all library program-ming and the majority of staff

professional development, as well as furniture, equipment and much more.

HealthHeart association: American Stroke Month

During American Stroke Month in May, The American Heart Association/American Stroke Association has des-ignated May as American Stroke Month.

Two factors to know that may save a life are: Know if you are at risk for stroke and know the stroke warn-ing signs and what to do in a stroke emergency.

Stroke is the No. 1 prevent-able cause of disability and the fourth leading cause of death in the United States. Someone in the United States has a stroke every 40 seconds, yet 80 percent of strokes are preventable.

Knowing if you are at risk for stroke is highly important,

because many risk factors can be modified and con-trolled. The No. 1 stroke risk factor is high blood pressure. Nearly 78 million Americans have high blood pressure and many more aren’t even aware that they have it. It’s import-ant to check your blood pres-sure regularly and talk to your doctor about healthy levels for you.

Through the American Stroke Association’s To-gether to End Stroke initia-tive, the association provides information and tools to help people to prevent, treat and beat stroke. A free stroke risk assessment, available at StrokeAssociation.org/strokemonth, helps individu-

als to evaluate their personal stroke risk and to work with their doctor to begin a pre-vention plan.

The acronym F.A.S.T. was determined to help people to recognize a stroke and what to do if one occurs:

F - Face Drooping: Does one side of the face droop or is it numb? Ask the person to smile.

A - Arm Weakness: Is one arm weak or numb? Ask the person to raise both

arms. Does one arm drift downward?

S - Speech Difficulty: Is speech slurred, are they un-able to speak, or are they hard to understand? Ask the per-son to repeat a simple sen-tence like, “The sky is blue.” Is the sentence repeated correctly?

T - Time to call 9-1-1: If the person shows any of these symptoms, even if the symptoms go away, call 9-1-1 and get them to the hospital

immediately.Additional stroke signs in-

clude sudden severe head-ache with no known cause; sudden trouble walking, diz-ziness, loss of balance or co-ordination; sudden trouble seeing in one or both eyes; or sudden confusion or trouble understanding.

For more information about stroke or American Stroke Month activities, visit StrokeAssociation.org/strokemonth.

GREAT DAY FOR GARDENERS

Although the day of the big plant sale on the town green arrived misty, rainy and foggy, it didn’t deter gardeners who showed up early eager to find a “prized plant” or for those hunting down a bargain May 10. The 55nd annual plant sale, hosted by the Suburban Garden Club of Cheshire, had them covered and it was a steady turnout throughout the sale from start to finish at noon. Cassie Dibble, right, gets help from her daughter Kate, who uses her cellphone to look up information on the plants they are interested in. | Joy VanderLek \ The Cheshire Citizen

Whetstone Holding Inc., Cheshire, was recently rec-ognized by the Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection for its commitment to reducing its energy consumption and air pollution during summer 2013.

The company, which op-erates Cheshire Wine and Spirits, is one of 11 organiza-tions statewide to receive a “Summer Saver” award at the State Capitol. Working with experts from Connecticut Light & Power to implement several Energize Connecti-cut energy-saving programs, the company reduced en-ergy demand by 21 percent or approximately seven kilo-watts and reduced energy consumption by 28 percent or more than 13,000 kilowatt hours of electricity.

The energy eff iciency measures implemented by Whetstone Holding include a lighting retrofit inside the store in addition to the instal-lation of new, more energy ef-ficient cooling devices.

Company honored for energy efficiency

Rams baseball shows blazes of gory and glory

WALLINGFORD — After scoring four early runs May 7, the game appeared to blow up for Cheshire as the Rams gave up five unearned runs in the third inning against Ly-man Hall.

But the Rams kept their heads in the game and scored seven more times over the last four innings for an 11-5 SCC Housatonic baseball vic-tory at Pat Wall Field.

The third was a mini-night-mare for Cheshire as the Tro-jans’ first run came home on an error by second baseman Tommy Savino and two more came in on starter Ethan Lonardelli’s throwing error to home with the bases loaded.

Lyman Hall (5-8, 1-5 Housy) did have four hits in the in-ning, and two runs were driven home on Tyler Hick-man’s double.

“That third was about mak-ing decisions that are good decisions,” Cheshire coach Bill Mrowka said.

“Give them one run, don’t give them two (on the bas-es-loaded play). I’m trying to get the mental game bet-ter. We’ve got some guys who have some physical ability, but going down 5-4 and then we’re going, ‘Oh, boy, here we

go again.’ They beat us 2-1 the last time. It was nice to get a Housy win. [It] keeps us in the race.”

Other than that third in-ning, Lonardelli was solid, giving up seven hits, strik-ing out one and walking two. He also had a double and two runs scored as a hitter.

“He had a lot of 1-2 counts and he just couldn’t finish

them off,” Mrowka said. “We’ll work on that. Ethan’s

a senior; he’s a leader out there. Sometimes the ball just got up a little bit and they got the end of the bat on it.”

Cheshire center fielder Dan Schock, who will be playing next year at Sacred Heart University, got things started with a two-run home run to left-center in the first and a run-scoring single in the second.

Catcher Wes Robertson drove home the other of the Rams’ first four runs with a two-out double to score Matt Hickey.

“ We’ re ge t t i n g h i m [Schock] to have a better approach because he’s so strong,” Mrowka said.

“Our goal is, obviously, we want him to do well for us, but we want him to get pre-pared for Sacred Heart.”

Cheshire (8-5, 4-1 Housy) scored three times, all un-earned, in the fifth off Tro-jans’ starter Dan Russell, one on a single by Jay Strollo (3-for-4, two RBI) and two more on a throwing error by Lyman Hall shortstop Chris Ames.

In the sixth, the Rams added four more, also all un-earned. Schock reached on a

hit batsman, then scored on a sacrifice fly by Adam von-Fischer after advancing to third on an error by second baseman Brenden O’Connell.

Cooper Mrowka, who had singled, came home on Strollo’s double. Lonardelli, who reached on the error, scored on Hickey’s single. Strollo scored on a double steal with Hickey on the front end.

VonFischer pitched the seventh inning to wrap up the victory for Cheshire.

“We took it away from them and then we gave it back to them,” Lyman Hall coach Chuck Burghardt said.

“Give Cheshire credit. They hit the ball [11 hits]. Our pitchers did not pitch that bad. They haven’t been hit on like that in a long time,” he said.

“I knew they were coming over trying to knock us off be-cause I know they weren’t too happy about losing [the first meeting] 2-1. My kids are not going to quit.

“This is a better team than we had a year ago. They’re young and they’re learning. We have two more games this week. If we’re going to make the tournament, we have to win these two.”

On Saturday, May 10, a big yellow school bus filled with history buffs, ferroequinol-ogists, other transportation fans and curiosity-seekers, pulled away from the curb of the Cheshire Historical Society on the town green for a special “pre-tour” of Cheshire’s bygone days of train and trolley transporta-tion. Branded as the Meriden, Waterbury, and Connecti-cut River Railroad tour, the MW&CR/CSR event was hosted by librarian, historian and ferroequinologist Robert Belletzkie. He is also the cre-ator of his own train-centric website, called “TylerCitySta-tion.info” which he launched in 2008. “Conductor Bob” gave a fact and fun-filled nar-ration about Cheshire and the rail system to the 40 riders on board, as the bus made its way in and around Cheshire and portions of Prospect. Nu-merous stops along the way, made it possible for those in-terested to disembark and see artifacts which still can be seen today. Passengers saw train abutments and piers, among other historical evi-dence, from the earliest days of the railroads in Cheshire. At one stop, along a former

railbed off Jarvis Street, pas-senger Bob Cawood, had only stepped off the trail a short distance when he spied some-thing and came back with a railroad spike. Belletzkie re-

searched, wrote and laid out the logistics of the tour with a mind to use Saturday’s “pre-tour” as a way to fine-tune the production, before taking the excursion on the road as a fu-

ture full-scale event for the CHS. Passengers were also given complimentary tour brochures. The multi-page brochures were extensive, showing detailed maps, pho-

tos and historical background on the different rail lines and stations. Belletzkie and the Cheshire Historical Society hope to see the “real” tour happen as soon as next year.

Tracking Cheshire’s train and trolley transportation historyBy Joy VanderLekThe Cheshire Citizen

This “ghost” train picture is a composite photo, created by Al Weaver. The photo is taken from Rt. 70 at Quarry Village in 2014 looking toward Waterbury. It shows how the long-gone MW&CR train would appear in its day on the elevated track as it runs past the West Cheshire station, by the Notch.
