Cheshire Archery re-cently hosted an introduc-tion to archery event for Troop 303, a group of seven scouts with special needs who participate in the CT Rivers Council. The pro-gram took place Feb 22 at Cheshire Nursery green-houses, South Main Street.

The troop, sponsored by Waterbury ARC, was newly formed by scout-master Mark Laliberte. He served as cubmaster for Pack 54 in Thomaston for 10 years. Troop 303 scouts range in age from 15 to 43, and are working on earn-ing their merit badges in archery. Scout Robbie King of the troop earned his merit badge 10 years earlier and serves as an inspiration to the others.

The introduction to ar-chery was the first ma-jor event for the troop ,

Laliberte said. “They are so excited, and they had a great time.”

Mother of scout Austin Cura, Martine Cura said, “I am so happy for the boys. It’s a great opportu-nity for the boys, and for kids with special needs, like my child. And they have great instructors.”

C h e s h i r e A r c h e r y founder Mark Dickinson said the experience was good for both groups. “They both took away something from it,” he said.

A greenhouse might seem an unlikely spot for archery practice, but the location makes per-fect sense for members of Cheshire Archery. Inside is warm and roomy. “We’re here in December and January and when it gets too warm, we usually open the door,” said Cheshire Archery founder Mark

Local naturalist Eric Nelson led a children’s workshop, Feb. 17, at the library that illus-trated some of the differences between the muscles, bones, and senses of certain animals and those of humans. Nelson displayed four live creatures in his presentation, including a frog, a salamander and two caterpillars, as well as animal skulls, bones, and models.

Nelson used a prepared chicken to demonstrate some of the differences between the skeletal and muscular struc-tures of birds and humans. He

T h e tow n r e c e n t l y launched a Facebook page as part of its broader com-munications effort, which includes an expansion into social media.

Cheshire joined the social networking site in December, made its first two posts in January and began to actively use the site in late February. Public information officer Arnett Talbot said officials wanted to start slowly so they had several weeks to be-come acclimated to using the site on the municipal level. Talbot said using Facebook is an effort to reach the goal of Town Manager Michael A. Milone to expand Cheshire’s informational outreach.

The Facebook page is

one of several facets of an enlarged communications strategy, which includes so-cial media and the expanded use of cable access — made possible by upgraded audio-visual technology in council chambers — along with tra-ditional means such as press releases and town website postings.

Officials began to discuss establishing the site in the spring, but Talbot said she and her colleagues did not want to rush into the process.

“We took our time to do it right and waited until we were comfortable,” she said.

Talbot said getting the site to the point of launch-readi-ness was as much a function of manpower as technology. The site has to be physically updated, maintained, and moderated on a regular ba-

sis, she said.Milone

said the up-graded au-diovisual system ac-celerated the town’s expan-sion into social media. The possibilities created by the new technology, which al-lows officials to post items to cable access directly from their computers, widened the scope of their thinking on communications, he said. In October 2013, Talbot formed a social media committee, which led to the establish-ment of the Facebook page. Talbot is the page’s lead ad-ministrator, but all of the committee’s members have administrative access and can post items on behalf of

Dickinson. D i c k i n s o n s t a r t e d

Cheshire Archery in 2009 after becoming certified and teaching archery for two de-cades with the Boy Scouts. Dickinson is also scoutmas-ter for Troop 1 in Cheshire which is sponsored by Cheshire VFW Post 10052.

The archery club is for both girls and boys.

“It’s a fine motor skills sport,” said Dickinson and gender doesn’t come into play in the sport. Club mem-bership numbers 22 boys and girls, many of whom were competing in nationals in Massachusetts during the weekend of Feb. 22-24.

Assist ing at the re -cent Scout practice were: Cheshire Archery captains Tyler Philcox, Brian Hickey, C.J. Caron, Jeffrey Dickinson and Brian Dickinson. Jeffrey and Brian Dickinson are brothers; all of the young men are Cheshire High School students. They helped Mark Dickinson introduce the sport of archery to Troop 303, special needs scouts.

The event gives the vis-iting scouts an opportunity to work with captains C.J. Caron, Jeffrey and Brian Dickinson, all Eagle Scouts.

“Today is just one of days needed in the process of getting your merit badge,” Dickinson tells the group. He explains that they will learn a variety of skills, in-cluding how to make arrows and bowstrings. Troop 303 scouts meet with each cap-tain for teaching sessions

about equipment, the differ-ent types of fletchings (feath-ers), how to set their bows and safety rules.

“Safety is the most import-ant thing. There’s no playing around and only point down range,” said Dickinson, who also acts as rangemaster.

Cheered on by a crowd of friends and family, Troop 303 scouts move to the learning line at 10-yards, and ready their bows with a little assis-tance from the captains.

The scouts don tough leather finger tabs to protect their hands and chest protec-tors to keep their shirts from catching and potentially ruining a good shot. Then they arrange themselves as taught, hips squared, nose and toes in line.

Dickinson calls, “Range clear? Archers to the line. Proper form. Range clear. You may nock (load) an ar-row. Archers you may shoot

at will.”Although most of the

scouts in Troop 303 had never touched a bow and quiver be-fore, they seem to take to the sport easily. In short order, each of the three Olympic-sized targets are peppered with holes from multiple arrows. Cheers erupt for Austin Cura, the first to hit the target on his initial shot. Cura is all smiles.

Captain Philcox helped Carmen Dilger with his stance and aim. “Yeah, we’re learning. This is fun,” said Dilger. “I just want to get it in the middle (bullseye).” No sooner are the words out of his mouth, when his arrow hits its mark.

One after another, Troop 303 continued to hit the targets. “There’s arrows all over,” said Dickinson proudly. Troop 303 was c l e a r l y e n j oy i n g t h e experience.

The Cheshire Women’s Club is scheduled to meet on the first Thursday of every month at the Cheshire Senior Center, 240 Maple Ave.

The next meeting is sched-uled for Thursday, March 6. A business is planned for 11 a.m., followed by a musi-cal program featuring the Humble Bees at 12:15 p.m.

pulled away pieces of breast meat and noted their thick-ness, saying birds require strong muscles for flight.

Removing the breast meat exposed the bird’s breast bone, which is larger than the human variety in order to accommodate wings, Nelson said. He also pointed out that avian sternums—unlike those of humans—have a keel to which their wing muscles attach.

Nelson showed a deer bone to illustrate the “dew-claws,” or the undeveloped toes on the insides of the feet of some animals. He let the

From Page 1 children examine toy models of barnyard animals such as pigs, goats, rams, and cows and had them locate their dewclaws.

Nelson also demonstrated why certain creatures such as deer and rabbits have more attuned hearing than humans. He observed that they have proportionally larger ears and can move them in the di-rection of sound. He showed the children how to “make their own ears bigger” to in-crease their hearing by using their hands to make either “Mickey Mouse ears, ” by pulling their ears outward or “Bugs Bunny ears,” by push-ing their lobes forward.

Nelson compared the an-imal bones and those be-longing to a human skeleton replica that he called “Steve.” He held up various bones and asked the children to try to identify their counterparts on Steve’s body.

To conclude the session, Nelson attempted to hand-feed a mealworm to his frog—a green frog that he re-ferred to as “Ms. G.” As the worm wriggled in his hand, he explained that because of the way frogs’ vision works, they have to be able to see their food move.

Blake Tripodina, 8, was fascinated by the amphibian. “You can see its eardrums,” he said, gesturing toward ei-ther side of the animal’s head.

The students did not get to watch the frog eat the worm—Nelson said she was

too scared—but, they did get to touch the creature and learn about a few differences between male and female frogs, along with variations among different species.

Male frogs sing whereas female frogs do not, Nelson said. He also pointed out that males among both green frogs and bullfrogs have yel-low throats, while females

have white throats.Nelson shared how to dis-

tinguish between a green frog and a bull frog, which are sometimes mistaken for one another.

Green frogs have a ridge of skin that extends down their backs on either side, where bullfrogs do not, he said. Bullfrogs also have larger throats, he said.

the town.Talbot said the town will

use the page to communicate urgent information, along with basic items such as holi-day closures, community an-nouncements, and pictures.

Talbot and Milone also hope the page fosters a di-alogue involving residents and officials.

Milone said the page will allow officials to gather res-ident feedback, including from some people who don’t attend meetings or directly contact the town, but may

comment on town services and policies on Facebook.

Talbot said residents will be able post items on the page, although its settings will have a “strong profan-ity filter” and any posts will have to be approved.

Milone said the town’s foray into Facebook use will start out as a “work in prog-ress.” He expects depart-ments that are less familiar with the website to learn from pages already set up by certain town entities, which include youth services, pub-lic works, the library, and Artsplace.

MERIDEN — A former Cheshire police officer ac-cused of stealing money from the police union had his case transferred to New Haven Superior Court.

Robert Anderson, 43, of Wilton, was charged last month with two counts of first-degree larceny. He was released on $100,000 bail af-ter his arrest Jan. 9.

During an appearance Feb. 19 in Meriden Superior Court, his next court date was set for March 14.

According to arrest war-rants, Anderson stole $50,000 from the Cheshire police union and used the money to take his girlfriend to San Francisco, pay bills and dine out. Anderson is facing a maximum sentence of 20 years and a fine up to $30,000 if convicted on both felony counts.

Anderson started with the Cheshire police in 2002 and was the union president from 2005 through 2009, and vice president until 2012.

set. He said “solar tours” last between 30 and 60 minutes.

A solar workshop was re-cently held at the senior cen-ter. Installers explained the technology of solar systems while representatives from SmartPower — Solarize’s marketing arm — poke about the financial, practical and environmental benefits of solar conversion. Local so-lar power users talked about the homeowners’ perspective and offer testimonials.

Former Town Councilor Tim White, the program’s point person, said nine homeowners have signed in-stallation contracts in the 12 weeks since the program’s November launch. Installers have also conducted about 70 site visits and collected hun-dreds of leads from interested residents. The new clients represent almost a one-third increase over the 30 existing solar customers in town, he said.

Connecticut’s finances, economy, educational pol-icy and other state concerns were among topics discussed at a recent town hall-style forum hosted by the town’s state legislators.

Several people joined state Reps. Al Adinolfi (R) and Lezlye Zupkus (R) and state Sen. Joe Markley (R) Feb. 10 at the Cheshire Senior Center. Constituents voiced opinions on the state’s future, then lawmakers spoke about their plans to improve life for taxpayers.

“We need real discussion

in Hartford,” said Adinolfi, 103rd Assembly District. “Our future looks dismal if we don’t drasti-cally change our spending habits.”

“Improving Connecticut’s struggling economy, first by getting our state’s finan-cial house in order, has to be the priority,” said Zupkus, of the 89th District repre-senting Cheshire, Prospect and Bethany. “We face a bil-lion dollar deficit in the next fiscal year. Residents need

to hold their government accountable.”

The Common Core curric-ulum and new teacher eval-uation standards were also discussed.

“At this point people are struggling to survive. How can we justify spending money we don’t have, or tak-ing local control away from communities who know their residents best?” Markley said.

Residents with questions can contact Adinolfi and Zupkus at (800) 842-1423 or Markley at (800) 842-1421.

TALK WITH THE JUDGE The Calendar House in Southington recently pre-

sented a program on advanced directives and estate planning presented by Probate Judge Matthew Jalowiec. The three hour presentation included a discussion on topics regarding powers of attorney, conservatorships and more. Southington’s Sen. Joe Markley was in atten-dance.

The town’s 20-week solar installation drive, Solarize Cheshire, is ramping up its promotion. The next work-shop on the topic is sched-uled for March 25 at the Cheshire Youth Center, South Main Street.

The program is part of a state initiative called Solarize Connecticut that of-fers special inducements to residents in participating mu-nicipalities to convert to so-lar energy during their town’s five-month eligibility period. Incentives for new customers include solar loans and dis-counted installation if they use one of their town’s desig-nated installers.

Town ramps up solar programs By Jeff GebeauSpecial to The Citizen

See Solarize / Page 9

Cheshire selected Bristol-based All Green It, along with national companies Astrum and Real Goods Solar, as its designees for the program.

Towns participate in Solarize in waves. Cheshire was admitted as a third wave applicant.

The library recently hosted a roundtable forum with bank officers who are offer-ing solar loans to consumers. Representatives will walk po-tential customers through the different types of solar loans, the application process and their financing options.

Liberty and Ion banks are the local financial institutions participating in the campaign.

Feb. 22, Richard Frantz opened his home at 1672 Waterbury Road for a solar open house. Solar company representatives answered questions about installation, billing and how a system is configured and monitored.

Visitors to Frantz’ garage saw the system’s inverter, which converts direct current from solar panels into usable alternating current, which is fed into a commercial electric grid. Solar panels on his roof, ordinarily visible from the road, have frequently been covered by snow.

The system automatically switches to standard power when conditions make it im-possible for the panels to col-lect sufficient energy from sunlight, Frantz explained.

Jim Swartz, another local solar customer, held a solar open house in October and is tentatively scheduled to hold a second in March, although the exact date has not been


The Cheshire Newcomers & Neighbors Club held its annual Winter Warmer event Thursday, Feb. 20, at Main Street Cafe, 209 W. Main St. Members gathered at the coffeehouse to enjoy warm conversation, along with hot beverages and snacks that were paid for by the club from member dues, which cost $30 a year.

Kathy Walker, 57, the club’s president, said the Winter Warmer is a long-running tradition that is usually hosted by the cafe and is one of the group’s annual events.

Its other yearly events con-sist primarily of fundraisers for worthy causes, she said.

The group also has holiday get-togethers and organizes four or five social outings per month, including dine-outs, movie nights, ladies nights and book club meetings.

Walker said the group has both civic and social pur-poses. Besides providing an avenue for residents to give back, it also exists “to wel-come and acclimate new or old members to the commu-nity,” she said.

Walker’s husband Jim, 55, the club’s treasurer, empha-sized the group’s acceptance of veteran residents. The

name says newcomers — and neighbors, he said. “We do try to meet people who have been in the community for a while,” he said.

Jim Walker said the fo-cus of the Winter Warmer is outreach to potential new members.

Faith Ham, 55, is one such prospective recruit. She said she plans to attend other club events and expressed partic-ular interest in the book club.

“It’s a good opportu-nity to meet people and get involved,” said Ham, a Middlefield native and re-

White is confident that the program will produce at least 30 new contracts by its end because other Solarize towns have seen their installations double on average after their 20-week run. The program

closes on April 8.The installation process

takes 60 to 90 days, White said. Two or three months after they sign up, residents can have a fully installed and operational system and begin enjoying the benefits of solar power, he said.

fortable” as a new resident, she said. She said she also met one of her best friends through the club.

Preudhomme also credited the group with giving her an opportunity to “meet peo-ple from all over,” as many of the group’s members are not native to the area, as well supplying as an outlet for grownup interaction. “When my kids were young, it was the only time I got out to talk to other adults,” she said of club events.

Marie Hodgdon, 40, the club’s activities coordina-tor, who is in her third year as a member and second as an officer, said other group members are an invaluable resource in helping newcom-ers familiarize themselves with Cheshire and the area.

Because members have relocated from disparate places, they are often able to provide useful travel infor-mation, Kathy Walker added.

The organization was es-tablished in 1962 and has op-erated continuously since then, Kathy Walker said. While it had a membership of more than 100 families early last decade, about 25 families actively participate, she said. Most members are couples with children, she said.

WA L L I N G F O R D — Cheshire forward Reid Duglenski made two costly turnovers in the closing min-ute Feb. 19 against Sheehan.

The senior took an earful from Rams coach Dan Lee, but Lee told Duglenski to stay positive.

It was good advice. With four seconds to play

and the game tied at 46, Cheshire inbounded the ball under its own basket. The pass came in to guard John Rizzo, who back-rimmed a 12-foot baseline jumper. Duglenski was there to grab the weak-side rebound and drop in a putback as the buzzer sounded for a 48-46 Cheshire win.

“I made two mistakes, so my coach told me that I was going to make a big play and that he had confidence in me, and that’s what I did,” Duglenski said. “This was just a great feeling.”

Lee raised his arms as the ball dropped through the net and met his team on the court as the Rams claimed their second SCC Housatonic bas-

ketball title in three years.Duglenski said after the

game he wasn’t even aware that his shot was the division clincher. He was just looking to atone for his mistake.

“We clinched it?” Duglenski asked. “Coach didn’t even tell us. We have been working really hard all year. We play together and we know each other so well.”

Lee was overjoyed with Duglenski’s resilience. He finished with a game-high 18 points.

“It says a lot about Reid,” Lee said. “He turned the ball over in one of the most crit-ical possessions of the game and came back to the bench, then accounted for it and then hit’s the game-winning shot. As composed as possi-ble he put that shot in.”

Colin Jordan (15 points) put Cheshire up 46-44 with a layup with 1:15 left on the clock. After a missed Sheehan 3-pointer, Duglenski rushed down court and threw the ball out of bounds instead of letting the Titans foul him.

Sheehan senior Mike Tiedemann tied the game 46-46 with a runner in the lane

with 50 seconds left. The for-ward had a memorable Senior Night with a team-high 15 points.

Cheshire (12-6 overall, 7-0 Housy) held the ball until

Jordan drove to the basket in the paint, but he was stuffed by Sheehan forward Joe Grzywinski (7 rebounds). The ball was awarded to Cheshire un-der the hoop, s e t t i n g u p Duglenski’s heroics.

Duglenski didn’ t have the only buzz-er-beater for Cheshire Feb. 19 night. With t h e s co re d t i e d 3 1 - 3 1 , Cheshire held the ball for the last shot of the third quarter and Rizzo banked a desperation

3-pointer as time ran out to give the Rams a three-point edge. Duglenski started the day in a unique way: a four-point play. Cheshire was able to sustain that lead until early

in the fourth quarter, when Sheehan’s Brandon Rentas (9 points) sank a pair of free throws.

The Titans trailed by as many as nine points in the second and third quarters, but battled back. Tiedemann hurt the Rams with his drives and Tommy Laydon was hot all night from the perimeter.

“This was our best game all year,” Tiedemann said. “We played tough and we played as a team. I had the adrena-line pumping. It was a rush playing out there, but this was a tough game to lose.”

Moral victories mean lit-tle to the Titans at this point of the season. Sheehan is 7-11 overall and 3-5 in the Housy, still needing one more win to qualify for the state tournament.

“We stayed with them and it’s unfortunate that they put in the putback at the end,” Sheehan coach Joe Gaetano said. “We have to keep grind-ing. We have to win the next couple of games. This is one of the best groups of kids I’ve ever had. They deserve better than the fate we have gotten to this point.”

CHESHIRE — The game turned on an unusual play. One you don’t see too often.

Af ter Sacred Hear t Academy’s Kaleigh Putnam sank a jumper just inside the arc from the right side, she wound up flat on her back.

But the foul call was not bas-ket good and one free throw. It was ruled basket good and a one-and-one.

The referee called the foul as a completely separate play after the shot was made.

Two made free throws later, the No. 11 Pacers had the sep-aration they needed with less than a minute to go to pull

away from No. 6 Cheshire, 46-41, in a first-round SCC girls basketball tournament game Feb. 20 at Cheshire High.

“The whole night was un-usual,” Cheshire coach Sarah Mik said. “It’s usually just an ‘and-one.’ Give her the one. You can’t let stuff like that (af-fect you). We worked so hard to that point. It’s unfortunate

A most unlikely defeat By Paul RosanoSpecial to The Citizen

when it’s out of your hands a little bit.

“It was just a solid game with two teams who were in the tournament, and they were going to go down with a fight either way.”

Sacred Heart (10-11) had opened a 31-22 lead early in the third quarter after the teams had tied at 22 at the half. It was built mostly on the Pacers’ high-post play of Siobhan Fennell (12 points, 4 rebounds) and Alisyn Narracci (8 points, 4 rebounds), then capped by a Lauren Davis (8 points) three.

But Cheshire (11-10) came back to cut it to 34-31 on Missy Bailey’s conventional three-point play at the end of the quarter.

The Rams ran off seven straight points at the begin-ning of the fourth with Lily Dolyak’s one-and-one con-version making it 38-34 with 4:26 left.

Sacred Heart wasn’t done.A layup by Fennell, fol-

lowed by a Narracci jumper

tied it with 1:20 to go. Then came Kaliegh’s unconven-tional four-point play.

Sacred Heart opened it to 44-39 on Narracci’s one-and-one with 31.2 seconds left, be-fore Bailey (8 points, 2 steals) got Cheshire back within three on a one-and-one of her own.

But the Rams failed to con-vert on several opportunities and were forced to foul the Pacers. Narracci closed it out with yet another short jumper after rebounding a miss.

“Our seniors were going to do whatever they could, knowing this was the last time playing on their floor,” Mik said. “And we definitely saw that from all three of them (Bailey, Dolyak and Bry McIntosh). It’s just a couple of buckets either way at the end. They made some free throws and we missed some front ends of key one-and-ones.”

Cheshire’s Jill Howard and McIntosh each had a team-high 10 points.

WrestlingClass LL tournament:

Cheshire’s Gabe Vega was runner-up at 170, leading the Rams to a 17th place finish in Trumbull. Vega (23-5) was the dark horse in his weight class. He made the finals from the No. 7 seed. His strong run ended at the hands of top seed Juan Garcia of Danbury, who won the final match by a 7-1 decision.

“It was exhilarating to make the finals considering I was the seventh seed,” Vega said. “I didn’t let that get in my way. I just did my best every match. I wish I did better in the finals.”

Cheshire coach Jake Dilts said he was proud of both Vega and fellow Ram Jacob Cervero, who finished third at 138.

Newtown won the Class LL championship with 213 points, followed by Xavier (207), Danbury (200.5), Simsbury (185), Trumbull (146) and Southington (119).

Boys swimmingCheshire earns split: The

Rams split a non-conference double-dual meet at Kennedy High School in Waterbury to move to 10-3 on the sea-son. Cheshire lost to 13-1 Brookfield 103-82 and beat 11-3 Sacred Heart 103-82.

The Rams did not have any first-place finishes on the night. Karl Bishop had a pair of second-place performances in the 200 freestyle (1:51.28) and the 500 free (4:55.80).

Indoor trackState Open: Cheshire se-

nior Liam Nicoll earned a sixth-place finish in the 300 meters in 36.08 and fellow Rams senior Selina Sampieri tied for fourth in the pole vault with a mark of 10 feet.

HockeyCheshire 8, Guilford 4:

Cheshire received strong per-formances from a number of players in a rout at Quinnipiac University’s TD Bank Sports Center.
