Hotel plans approved for Stone Bridge Crossing By Peter Prohaska Herald Staff
On the morning of Monday, Oct. 23, Stone Bridge Crossing in Cheshire’s north end was the site of a groundbreaking ceremony that acknowledged the project’s substantial progress to date. The developers had a second celebration later that evening as the Planning and Zoning Commission approved, with some requests for modifications, a plan for an extended-stay hotel on the project’s Lot 2. As with other phases of the work, bringing in the Hilton Homewood Suites facility will be the result of a complex partnership between local developers Miller, Napolitano and Wolff and Tri-Star Development, and New Jersey-based Briad Development, which works with national hotel franchises such as Hilton and Marriott as well as operating over 100 Wendy’s restaurants.

By extended-stay, the company envisions mostly visits of three to five nights, with a maximum duration of 30 nights. Though the rooms have basic kitchen amenities, the proximity to restaurants and shopping at Stone Bridge was said to be another draw.

Town residents eagerly looked forward to seeing what iconic Cheshire location will be chosen by Hines Hardware as the town’s annual Christmas ornament. This year’s honor goes to Old Bishop Farm, owned by John and Carolyn Torello, who purchased the property in 2015. The store, at 500 Meriden Rd., is featured on the ornament along with the words “Believe” - a touchstone message which honors their late son Michael, who died in 2021.
farmed continuously since the 1700s and is named after the original owners. John, Carolyn and their children continue to farm the property, which supplies the country store and gift shop with fruits, vegetables and flowers in season.
“Believe” is written on the exterior of the building and Additionally, Carolyn and is also found on objects John offer homemade ice throughout the store. The cream, pies, pastries and Bishop property has been cider doughnuts.

The perfect marriage between cold weather and warm, delicious soup
For the past few years, I have wanted to learn to make soup. I didn’t have a clue. I did go to a bone broth presentation at CPL a few years back and have also picked up a few soup books at the library, too. I came away with a few tips. I am still at the beginner level. I’m using “helpers” like rotisserie chicken. I take leftovers and roast the bones and use that with chicken stock. I also learned to save all my leftover veggies to throw into the pot as well. Slowly but surely, I am progressing. In the meantime, my friends

The first time I made it, though, I did not realize beans needed to be rinsed. Who would know that?! If you did, you know what happens if you don’t rinse them – the texture is gritty and not at all appealing. Okay, I learned.

are whipping up some crazy complicated concoctions like Kate Wolff’s lasagna soup. What the heck is that? I could not begin to imagine. Yes, she sent me the recipe. Okay, it’s not as farout as I thought. Then there’s Teresa Twomey’s Kimchi Jjigae, which is Kimchi soup. Actually, it’s her daughter’s recipe, but she submitted the idea for my approval. Teresa said it’s “one of my favorite cold weather meals.” She serves it with rice. Mitch Murray just puts me to shame. One of his favorites for colder weather is beef barley soup. Mitch does not make it out of a package or Styrofoam cup. Nope. He makes it with “real homemade bone broth.” Here’s how he does it: “I slow roast a dozen oiled and salted neck bones until almost blackened (or brown a few beef shanks in the skillet), and then they go into a pot of water with red wine, salt,
bay leaves, allspice, and Juniper berries. The rest is the de rigueur carrots, celery, onions, and of course, barley.”

“I was a latchkey kid, so when I got home from school, I loved watching Julia Child and Graham Kerr. Later came cable TV and Jeff Smith, Emeril Lagasse, Lydia Bastianich, Anthony Bourdain, et. al. I’m an experimenter at heart.” At the other end of the spectrum, simplicity is key to Kerry Corcoran Chaconis’ cold weather menu. What comes to mind? Kerry says, “The tried-and-true tomato bisque with a crunchy on the outside, ooey gooey on the inside grilled cheese.” Okay, Kerry. I’m sold. Set out an extra plate, please.

I began to make soup and hearty meals. I made chili. It’s from a recipe I got a few years ago when my neighbor Victoria, who lives up the street, had neighbors over for chili and cornbread. She made this fantastic fourbean chili. I love chili, but this was definitely the best.

Saint Mary’s receives an A grade in hospital safety Saint Mary’s Hospital received an “A” Hospital Safety Grade from The Leapfrog Group, a national nonprofit upholding the standard of patient safety in hospitals and ambulatory surgery centers. The Fall 2023 grade signifies back-to-back recognition by Leapfrog and celebrates Saint Mary’s achievements in prioritizing patient safety by protecting patients from preventable harm and errors. “On of the heals of an ‘A’ grade from Leapfrog in the Spring, this newly released grade exemplifies our commitment to patient safety.
This incredible achievement reflects the hard work and dedication of all colleagues at Saint Mary’s Hospital,” said Kim Kalajainen, President of Saint Mary’s Hospital. “It requires dedication at every level of the hospital from our amazing Medical Staff to our outstanding Patient Care Services Team and our extraordinary Support Services colleagues.” The Leapfrog Group, an independent national watchdog organization, assigns an “A ,” “B,” “C,” “D” or “F” grade to general hospitals across the country based on over 30 national performance measures reflecting
errors, accidents, injuries, and infections, as well as systems hospitals have in place to prevent harm. “Earning an ‘A’ Grade means Saint Mary’s Hospital made a true commitment to put patients first,” said Leah Binder, president, and CEO of The Leapfrog Group. “We congratulate the leadership, Board, clinicians, staff and volunteers that all had a role to play in this achievement.” The Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade is the only hospital ratings program based exclusively on hospital prevention of medical errors and harm to patients. The grading system is peerreviewed, fully transparent, and free to the public. Grades are updated twice annually, in the fall and spring.

Palace Theater, WSO presenting “Home Alone” The Palace Theater and the Waterbury Symphony Orchestra (WSO) are joining forces to present the beloved holiday comedy film, “Home Alone,” with live orchestral accompaniment on Saturday, Dec. 2, at 2 p.m. Led by Music Director and Conductor Leif Bjaland, the WSO will perform John Williams’ musical score synchronized to the film on the main stage of the Palace Theater. The Waterbury Chorale will be performing with the Symphony to help bring the movie to life. Macaulay Culkin stars as Kevin McCallister, an 8-year-old boy who’s accidentally left behind when his family leaves for Christmas vacation, and who must defend his home against two bungling thieves (Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern). “Imagine all the fun and hijinks of the movie, with the excitement of a live or-
chestra and chorale performing the score on stage at Waterbury’s Palace Theater,” says Bjaland. “It truly is a magical experience!” The film was nominated for two Academy Awards including Best Original Score and Best Original Song (“Somewhere in My Memory”). As a special treat for children attending the event, Santa and Mrs. Claus will be available in the Grand Foyer before the movie and during intermission to visit and pose for photos. Families are encouraged to bring a camera or use their phones to take special holiday photos. This unique way to experience a movie offers hilarious, heartwarming holiday fun for the entire family. This extraordinary event celebrates the ongoing partnership of two organizations who share a commitment.

Catherine Livermore
CHESHIRE Ilona Weisz Kiss, 88, passed away on Wednesday, November 1, 2023, in Westminster, MD, after a brief illness. Ilona, or “Icu” as her friends called her, was born on December 13, 1934, in Budapest, Hungary, to the late Miklós and Erzsébet (née Vagy) Weisz. She immigrated to the United States in the late 1950s, arriving in New Haven, CT. It was there that she met and married her husband and fellow Hungarian immigrant, the late József M. Kiss. They were longtime residents of Cheshire, CT, before moving to Westminster in 2020. Ilona was a very sweet and charming lady with a sharp wit, who never hesitated to speak her mind. She was a fixture at the Highland Elementary School library in Cheshire, for many years, working as a media technician. As an ardent supporter of Cheshire’s youth swimming programs (both YMCA and Cheshire High School), her voice could often be heard above that of the roaring crowd, cheering on her children and their teammates at swim meets. At Halloween, she enjoyed treating her friends and colleagues by dressing up in some memorable costumes along with her dear friend Jane. Ilona was also an active member of the Hungarian Community Club of Wallingford in Wallingford, CT, participating in various
CHESHIRE - Catherine Ann Oliver Livermore, 90, of Cheshire passed away at home on Sunday, October 29th. Born on April 14, 1933 in Waterbury, she was the daughter of George and Mary (O’Brien) Oliver. She was a 1951 graduate of Sacred Heart High School in Waterbury. She was a devout Roman Catholic and proud of her Irish heritage. In 1957, she married Norman Livermore and in 1958 built and moved into her forever home in Cheshire. Her wish was to remain in this home until her death which she was able to do with the wonderful help of “The Key” who provided companionship to her these past few weeks. While living at home and when her children were younger, she worked for her father at Oliver’s Supermarket. She later worked for Cheshire Schools as a lunch server retiring in 2017 after 29 years of service. Her love of children was apparent to all. She attended many Cheshire High School events, West Point football games and George Washington basketball games. She was also an avid Red Sox fan. She was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. Catherine was predeceased by her husband, Norman, in July 2023. Left to cherish her memory and carry on her loving legacy are her brother George (Fran) of East Haven; her children David, Barbara (Karl) Reer, Carol

With CT shoreline flooding rising, officials turn to natural mitigation By Jan Ellen Spiegel © The Connecticut Mirror
flooded as a result.
It’s fitting that Paul Woodworth is tramping through rain and wind on a stormy September morning. That’s because what he wants to point out has everything to do with the effects of the weather on an otherwise scenic strip of beach in Guilford where the West River empties into Long Island Sound. And indeed, as a lone great white heron stands guard — feet in the muck — it’s clear that water from the Sound has overrun marsh grass, sand and anything else in its way. Woodworth points to a chunk of salt marsh that has broken off and is just lying at the edge of the shoreline. “It’s just displaced and thrown up on the beach,” said Woodworth, who is the new ecological restoration senior project manager at Save the Sound, a New Haven-based environmental nonprofit.
This piece of land, known as the Chittenden area, has been taking a beating for more than a century. The salt marsh and land have eroded as rising sea levels, waves and storms pummel it from the Long Island Sound side and precipitation-fed floods overrun it from the other direction. The area does have roads and homes and other amenities of human habitation, so the marsh has gotten smaller, and flooding is worse. “The salt marsh is getting undermined and eroded. It’s exposing sandier soils on these beaches,” Woodworth said. He points to a berm of sand and debris pushing into the marsh grass. “This is a leading edge of basically a sand ledge that’s getting pushed by wave energy into this salt marsh.”
impacts, and, by simply taking up space, they keep infrastructure farther back and out of harm’s way. “These become our buffers like our sponges, or they dampen the effects of the storms. When they’re healthy, they can protect infrastructure further inland,” Wildman said. “When we’re talking about ecological restoration, we’re trying to get back to a more sustainable balance where our natural processes or natural ecosystems protect us.”
The Chittenden plan There isn’t an exact one yet. Save the Sound has hired an engineering firm to come up with a specific design. They’ve been using a notimplemented plan from about a decade ago as a starting point, though it may
not become a final plan. The idea in that one was to put stone sills just offshore. These are underwater revetments — essentially walls made of boulders that allow water to flow through but act as a brake on wave energy. Onshore, the idea had been to backfill inundated areas with clean fill as a base to allow for marsh grasses to grow back, which they presumably would be able to do without water and waves tearing them apart as much. That in turn would stop the erosion and even help some of the land mass to build back. But it’s way more than a matter of sticking new plants in the ground. Engineers will need to look at elevations in the water and on land, calculate wave energy and determine what the land and
Save the Sound wants to restore the marsh and keep it from eroding and flooding again. Along Connecticut’s shoreline, this sort of remediation is now more often being explored as a natural solution for the kind of flooding that is increasingly persistent due to climate change. But often it takes non-governmental action like this to do it.
water can support without basically just swallowing up whatever they put there. Even more difficult is to figure out what might happen in the future for factors like sea level rise, precipitation, intensity of storms and other elements that may arise due to climate change. “Essentially, the analysis is to help determine if that concept really is going to hold up and really, if it makes sense,” Woodworth said. In the meantime, the town is already doing some salt marsh planting at the edge of a park that borders a small part of the marsh on its land side. Janice Plaziak, Guilford’s town engineer, said it is designed to dovetail with whatever the updated See Flood, A17

Save the Sound project turns out to be. “The one we’re doing is basically advancing the tidal marsh inland quicker than Mother Nature was,” Plaziak said. Wildman warns that while the same body of water — Long Island Sound — is causing flooding problems up and down the coast, the solution is not one-size-fitsall. But the big issue in almost all cases is designing marsh restoration to be able to respond the way marshes are supposed to: filling with and flushing out water, and migrating as needed. “One of the biggest things we can do in ecological restoration is just give the system enough room to respond,” Wildman said. “Are there ways we can move back infrastructure or decrease infrastructure right along the border, so the system can respond to it? Are there ways we can reestablish natural flow and sediment patterns to this system, so that it can sustain itself? Are there invasive vegetative species that we have to now go in and try and extract prior to being able to have the system restore itself? It’s really a wide variety of things.”
“One of the biggest things we can do in ecological restoration is just give the system enough room to respond.” — Laura Wildman, Save the Sound’s vice president for ecological restoration extinction, because of climate change-induced sea level rise. That same rising water also contributes to flooding problems in the adjacent Sikorsky Field area of Stratford and homes nearby. The marsh had become “impounded” by dredge material from neighboring Bridgeport harbor that had been dumped there for years. That means the marsh was no longer getting flushed daily by tides. Instead the water was trapped, and as a result, mosquito populations had exploded. “So it also was a public health issue,” said Jack Matthias, a coastal resilience
The restoration of a 34-acre section of Great Meadows Marsh in Stratford, which is inside the Stewart B. McKinney National Wildlife Refuge, had been in the works for 15 years before it was finally done in the winter of 20212022. Audubon Connecticut was the main force behind the project, which cost about $4.65-million, taking it on principally to restore the habitat of the salt marsh sparrow. Connecticut’s salt marshes are one of the bird’s main nesting locations in the world. The nests sit low in the marsh, however, putting populations under severe stress, if not threat of

them away, which was a really kind of positive attribute to the project.”
for probably about 10 years,” Matthias said. At least in terms of the animals and natural functions of the area. He said the marsh plantings are already filling in and the channels are flowing nicely and water quality is improving, despite the difficult summer of flooding.
But another stark reminder from Wildman at Save the Sound: “It took us a very long time, generations and generations, to get to a lack of sustainability. It will take us generations to get back to a more sustainable spot.”
“One exciting thing is the salt marsh sparrow population that was already there. They haven’t started to use the hummocks, but they returned to the same area where the hummocks are, so the whole mix didn’t scare

But the overall marsh restoration, which included building so-called hummocks – raised nest locations – for the salt marsh sparrows, will need more time to assess its overall success. “The truth of the matter is, you don’t really know that
