Food pantry could open by November
Judge’s jump in Oklahoma replicates WWII paratroopers
By Jesse Buchanan Record-Journal staff
By Jesse Buchanan Record-Journal staff
The new Cheshire Community Food Pantry building on Sandbank Road is well on its way to completion and could be open by November.
Standing at the door of a World War II-vintage C-47 ready to parachute out over an Oklahoma hay field 1,500 feet below, Matt Jalowiec didn’t look down. Jalowiec focused on his training over the past five days, which taught him how to check his main and reserve chute, push himself out of the plane, avoid tangling his lines on the plane’s tail and landing without breaking a leg or getting dragged by the parachute. “There’s no time to think, there’s no

Steel wall studs have been installed in the interior of the 6,000-squarefoot building and piles of drywall are ready to be hung. Leaders from the food pantry held a gathering at the partially completed building this week. The new building is more than

New owner working to reopen Bishop Farms
John Torello is working to restore Bishop Farms on South Meriden Road, reopen the farm stand and replant the orchards.
The farm property includes several larger buildings and a host of outbuildings and sheds. It will be known as Old Bishop Farms.
The farm is closed for renovations and will reopen in
He bought the property from Kevin and Sarah Clark in 2014 for $700,000 but con-
tinued leasing the farm to the couple until they left the business. Torello said he’s not yet firm on his plans but does want to sell ice cream, baked goods and fruit from the stand facing the road. “We’re still trying to come up with a lot of the plans,” he See Bishop Farms, A2

said. Torello said he’s committed to keeping the 12.5 acres a farm and won’t sell to developers. “We didn’t want to see another farm turn into housing, especially not this one. It’s been here since the 1700s,” he said.
“He wants to do improvements and turn Bishop Farm into a destination,” Sitko said. “I’m encouraged by what I’m hearing.” Some of the apple trees on the property no longer produced apples, Torello said.

Last summer he tore out dead apple trees and planted nearly 300 new ones. Torello also gave away animals on the farm since he wasn’t happy with their living conditions. “We’re going to fill it back up,” he said. He described the farm as neglected and said there was
a lot of cleaning and restoration work to be done. Torello said people stop by frequently while he’s working on the farm asking about its future. “We want to bring it back to what it was 20, 30 years ago, a big thriving place,” he said.

out of an airplane.”
tion Team Foundation, a non-profit that conducts parachute jumps just like American soldiers did in Sicily, Normandy and Holland. Participants who complete the training and five jumps are given their wing badges and are certified to 1940’s standards for paratrooper recruits.
With some concessions to modern safety requirements, Wolf said the training and jumps are kept as authentic as possible. The group’s motto is “remember, honor, serve.” “It’s a history lesson as well,” Wolf said. “We’re trying to honor those who went before us and served this country.”
Unlike skydives, which usually take place at 15,000 feet with an instructor, Jalowiec said the demonstration team replicates wartime practices in which a group or “stick” of paratroopers jump out of a plane for a descent that takes a little over a minute. “It’s a combat jump. It’s not skydiving, it’s military parachuting,” he said. Injury or worse was a real possibility throughout the jump. Improperly exiting the plane could mean a parachutist hits the tail or is tangled in the lines and dragged behind the airplane. If the main parachute doesn’t deploy in about four seconds after leaving the plane, the jumper has a few more seconds to pull out the reserve parachute and deploy it. Jalowiec and other students
Other Connecticut trainees included Mark Castiglione of North Haven and his son, Matthew Castiglione. Mark Castiglione’s father Frank fought in World War II with the 101st Airborne Division in Normandy, Holland and Bastogne.

were taught to land on their sides, curving their bodies to absorb the impact of hitting the ground at about 20 miles per hour. All this took place in peacetime and without combat awaiting him on the ground. Jalowiec said it’s given him a much greater appreciation for the courage and sacrifice of airborne soldiers, most of whom were in their late teens.

“I’m over a hay field in Oklahoma and there’s no one shooting at me. These guys had 100 pounds of gear at night (during the Normandy jumps) and there were guys on the ground waiting to kill them,” he said. Richard Wolf, a special forces veteran, founded the demonstration team 20 years ago. It performs jumps at an air show in Redding, Pennsylvania and Wolf said
the jump school is a way to find participants for that demonstration. Not everyone enjoys parachuting or is even willing to try it. Much of the training, in addition to safety, is teaching confidence, according to Wolf. “We try to instill in each of these guys the confidence to jump out of an aircraft,” he said. “It’s very foreign for a person to throw themselves

Jalowiec said he started World War II reenacting about 10 years ago after talking with veterans and enthusiasts at the Redding air show. He’s got a collection of gear specific to the 101st Airborne Division’s 501st Parachute Infantry Regiment. Some of the gear is original, such as his helmet, while much of his uniform is reproduction. He’d planned to jump with more of his gear to replicate the load a World War II paratrooper would have taken. In wartime that would have included ammunition, medicine, food, parts of heavy weapons and a few toiletries. Jalowiec had also considered putting a GoPro camera on himself to document his jumps.

Edward Pichulo, a Wallingford resident, was also in the group and successfully completed the training. He received some injuries after one jump when the wind caught his parachute on the ground, dragging him over rough terrain and scraping up his hands and arms.

three times the size of the existing facility on Railroad Avenue. Extra space will be used to accommodate more volunteers, provide more privacy for clients and store more food, particularly items that need to be frozen or refrigerated.
Clients will enter in one side of the new building, while volunteers and staff will enter from another. It’s important to provide clients privacy, Bowman said, and that’s difficult at the current location.
Truckers heading to distributors in town offer food to the pantry, but the current lack of space means much of it is turned away. “We’ve turned a lot of food away because we don’t have the storage space, the freezer space,” Paul Bowman, a town councilor and pantry president, said Wednesday during a tour of the new building. The new building has two loading docks to accommodate big trucks. Pantry volunteers tend to be older, Bowman said, and at the current building they must haul food from the truck to the

simultaneously with a capital fund drive to raise about $600,000. The building is expected to cost $1.1 million. A state grant has already provided $465,000.
More space allows the pantry to accommodate groups looking to volunteer, such as confirmation class participants and scouting groups. Bowman said there are training and community rooms that will allow volunteers to work without compromising the confidentiality of clients who are picking up food. The size of the current building means volunteers aren’t completely separated from clients.
While there’s no shortage of people looking to help out at the pantry, there’s no space for more adult volunteers until the new building is complete.
The pantry serves about 350 clients. The service was run behind St. Bridget Church on Main Street but expanded and in 2010 Cheshire Community Food Pantry was incorporated as a non-profit. Executive Director Patty Hartmann said it has received widespread support.
The state Department of Correction donated two acres on Sandbank Road for the building. Bowman credited the town’s legislative delegation for securing the land, particularly state Rep. Mary Fritz of Wallingford, who died earlier this summer.
“There’s not one faith-based organization in town that doesn’t support us,” she said.
Dr. Dave and the Daniels Orthodontics team wish everyone a fun and happy summer!
In-kind donations include produce from churches and synagogues. Hartmann said Temple Beth-David’s garden inspired the pantry to plan its own garden on the new property.
“We could have another 50, 60 volunteers but we’ve shut it off because our facilities can’t safely handle them,” Bowman said. jbuchanan@recordjournal.com 203-317-2230 Twitter: @JBuchananRJ

plane. “At the end of the day, at 1,500 feet, all fantasy ends. It’s real and you’re terrified,” he said. “You don’t want to worry about whether your GoPro is blinking.” The roar of the wind through the open C-47 door contributed to jitters before jumping. Fellow parachutists are sucked out of the plane and Jalowiec found it was better not to watch and just to focus on the line above him and the mechanics of how to push himself into the air. Despite an exhausting day where he and others jumped three times back-to-back, Jalowiec said he misses the experience and is thinking about other opportunities. He’d need to pick up another 10 jumps to have the experience needed to parachute over France for a demonstration commemorating the 75th anniversary of the Normandy invasion in 2019. “I don’t know if I’m addicted now or what,” Jalowiec said. His training and jumps took place over a 12-day stay in Oklahoma. He said his wife Colleen was supportive if not thrilled about his activities and he credited her with taking care of “real life” while he was away.

Think water is too boring? Infuse it with flavor By Jane Grant Special to the Citizen
Did you know that your body is made up of about 55-60 percent water?
you may not be giving your body the fuel it needs to keep your digestion moving, your brain focused, your skin supple, and your energy up.
Water and weight
Water plays an important role in weight loss as Water is involved in every well. Drinking an adequate process in the human body. If you’re not drinking enough amount of water has been
shown to cause a mild increase in metabolism, so you burn more calories throughout the day. And if you drink water about a half hour before meals, you’ll automatically eat fewer calories. Lastly, staying well hydrated will keep your hunger cues in check. Did you know when you feel hungry you may actually just be thirsty? For some people, it’s easy to mistake thirst for hunger when they’re not well hydrated. If you think this might be happening to you, try this. When you feel hungry, drink a glass of water, wait 10-15 minutes, and reassess your hunger. If you still feel hungry you’re probably experiencing true physical hunger; if you’re hunger subsides you may actually be thirsty. Try drinking a bit more water and see if that does the trick.
Water requirements You may be familiar with the general recommendation to drink 8-10 cups a day. However, this is not actually based in science. In fact, it is difficult to estimate an exact amount of water needed for an individual. Water require-
ments vary depending on age, gender, body size, health status, and physical activity levels. Numerous environmental factors, such as the temperature, also influence water needs.
don’t be afraid to try some new ones. Experiment and have fun!
Thirst can be used as a general guideline for most individuals. In other words, if you are thirsty, drink. If you’re not thirsty, don’t force yourself to drink simply because you believe it to be a healthy practice.
Fruit:
Also, pay attention to the color of your urine; ideally it should be pale yellow. Dark yellow urine is a good indicator that you may need more water. You want your urine to look like lemonade, not apple juice. Note: some foods (beets, blackberries, and rhubarb), vitamin supplements, and medications can turn your urine orange or red.
Tropical - pear, pomegranate, kiwi, mango, pineapple
Flavor-infused water If drinking enough water to maintain good hydration is an issue for you try flavor-infused water. Making your own is an easy, tasty way to liven up plain water. Choose ingredients you enjoy and
To get you started, here are several options that you can mix and match. Citrus - grapefruit, orange, tangerine, clementine, lemon, lime Berries - strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, blackberries, cherries
Melons - honeydew, cantaloupe, watermelon Other - apples, grapes, plums, peaches, nectarines Vegetables - Cucumbers, carrots, celery, peppers (hot or sweet) Herbs - Mint, sage, rosemary, basil, cilantro, thyme, lavender Spices - Ginger, cinnamon stick (ground cinnamon will float), black pepper Water - Filtered water, plain sparkling water These are few of my favorite combinations. • Cherries + lime + mint • Cucumber + orange + mint or basil

Ceviche — light, delicious and perfect for summer By Farrah Duffany Record-Journal staff
This week, I tried a healthy recipe — a very light, delicious shrimp ceviche. Ceviche is a dish typically made with raw fish and citrus juices. I remember a few months ago watching a show
on the Food Network with celebrity chef Aaron Sanchez prepping his ceviche. It looked so light and delicious and I’m a huge fan of raw fish.

Financing for a furry friend toys and cleaning equipment that will need to be replenished throughout your pet’s lifetime, may be the cause for real sticker shock. Some animals may have food sensitivities or medical conditions that require special diets and medicine – both of which can be pricey. Monthly fees such as veterinary checkups and grooming appointments can also be expensive.

Jaciento explained the wellknown spider is extremely venomous, but he has handled them bare-handed for years and never been bitten. “I think that my favorite part about today was all the tiny animals, especially the babies,” said Olivia Hall, 5.
Even with a tremendous amount of planning, accidents can happen. In an emergency, pets may need medical attention and costs can accumulate quickly. Be sure to have money set aside for these instances or think about purchasing pet insurance to help offset the potential financial burden. Finally, consider who will look after your pet if you become unable to care for it. Some owners decide to incorporate pets into their wills. Pets can be one of life’s greatest sources of companionship and joy. While it may not be possible to put a price tag on the bond shared between owners and their animals, it’s important to take appropriate financial considerations into account when considering pet ownership. Doing so will help you avoid surprises down the road and ensure you’re able to provide a happy and healthy life for you and your pet.

Banana split bites refreshing, sweet By Farrah Duffany Record-Journal staff
With the streak of hot, humid weather and trying to find ways to cool off, I immediately thought about creating a cold recipe and something refreshing. That’s when a favorite summer snack came to mind: ice cream. Then I thought of an ice cream sundae. My editor, Richie Rathsack, and I said we can’t just make an elaborate ice cream sundae because that’s boring and everyone knows how to make one. Once again I went to Pinterest to gather some ideas. I stumbled across these adorable bite sized banana split sundaes that I knew I had to make. They consisted of a banana, cut about an inch long and “cored” in the center. The bottom of the banana had melted chocolate and sprinkles, which I put in the freezer to firm. Then the center of the banana was filled with ice cream, and topped with whipped cream and a cherry. Overall, the picture on Pinterest looked pretty simple, but I must say it was a little more time consuming than I had originally thought and plus coring a banana and dipping it in chocolate can get pretty slimy. I knew I should have bought some toothpicks or perhaps used a fork in retrospect when dipping the banana slices. Anyway, after all was said
Banana split bites are a sweet way to cool off.
and done I passed out the little sundae bites to people in the office at the Record-Journal who seemed to really like them. First impression from many was they thought they were adorable followed by a “yum.” These do melt very fast, so I would suggest even freezing it again after adding the ice cream so it’s a solid chunk. When I make these again I may just ditch the whipped cream because it melted too fast and just add a cherry on
top to finish the bite. If you love whipped cream, you can definitely keep it. I just found that it got very messy and the cherry slides off the top but overall the newsroom really loved the flavor and they were perfect for a bite sized taste of a sundae. BANANA SPLIT BITES 4 bananas, on the firm side Sprinkles Chocolate chips (melted) Whipped cream Cherries
| Richie Rathsack, Record-Journal
Ice cream Start by cutting the bananas into about an inch piece. Using a small paring knife and/ or a melon ball scooper, dig out a deep hole in the center of the banana, you will fill this with ice cream. After coring the middle, melt some chocolate in a bowl. I melted it in the microwave in 30 second increments, stirring and checking on it. Grab wax paper or
parchment paper and line a tray with it. Dip the bottom of the banana slice into the chocolate and then into the sprinkles and put it on its side on the parchment paper. Once all the pieces are dipped, put it in the freezer for 10-15 minutes or until chocolate is hard. Remove from freezer and fill the center with a scoop of your favorite ice cream. Top with whipped cream and a cherry or if you prefer serve as is. Serve immediately.

serrano chili peppers, extra virgin olive oil, cilantro, and some salt. I ate the ceviche as is, almost like a salad, but you could also eat it with crackers or tortilla chips. This recipe is light, flavorful,
and healthy. I had a couple scoops for lunch and if filled me up without making me feel overstuffed or tired. It’s definitely a summer recipe winner. SHRIMP CEVICHE 1 pound cooked shrimp Juice of two lemons Juice of two limes

and add some salt. Add the shrimp and refrigerate for about an hour or so to marinate. Then add the rest of the ingredients, (cilantro, oil, red onion, avocado, peppers, tomatoes, and cucumber). You may serve the ceviche as is, on top of crackers, or with tortilla chips.

School of cool Knox Scotsman saves par, and a tournament crown, with dramatic putt on 18 By Bryant Carpenter Record-Journal staff
CROMWELL — The talk in the 18th gallery started when Russell Knox put his tee shot in the rough. It intensified when he deposited his approach into the front-side bunker. It rose to a dull roar when he left his wedge shot a good 12 feet short of the pin. Playoff: Go get Jerry Kelly off the practice range. On a day when the lead at TPC River Highlands was a poison potato, it seemed inevitable that Knox, one up on Kelly with one hole to play, would manage to blow up. When his second shot hissed into the sand, it sure seemed the fuse was lit. Instead, the 31-year old from Inverness, Scotland who calls himself “The Beast” harnessed the flame and calmy curled home a par-saving putt that earned him the 2016 Travelers Championship. The only thing Knox threw away was his cap. He fired that baby on a line a good 20 feet as the gallery went from skeptical to adoring in an instant and erupted. “I felt like the Incredible Hulk when it went in,” said Knox, who goes
5-foot-10 and 155 pounds. “I could have ripped my shirt off.” Jim Furyk, with his PGA-record round of 58, delivered the thunder at Sunday’s final round in Cromwell. Knox, with his winner, added the lightning. It was his second career win, coming on the heels of last November’s WGC-HSBC Champions title. “Golf is so difficult. You lose every week pretty much, and to make that putt, it’s just the greatest feeling ever,” the new champ said. “I wish I could share it with you.” There was no lack of sharing when it came to the lead Sunday. Dan Berger, the leader by three strokes at 15-under heading into Sunday, crumbled dramatically with four straight bogeys to start the back nine and faded to 11-under. The 23-year-old Berger swore it wasn’t nerves and you’ve got to believe him. When he won the FedEx St. Jude Classic earlier this year, he took a three-stroke lead into Sunday. “I’m comfortable in the position,” he said. “Sometimes you get it done; sometimes you don’t. You just learn from it and move on.” Russell Henley, one of three guys in second at 12-under to start the day, took the lead when Berger stumbled only to immediately fumble it away. He missed a four-footer on No. 12, drove the water on No. 15 and then three-putted from inside three feet See Travelers, A19

I’ve got the blues; it’s a catchy tune By Mike Roberts Record-Journal staff
My first encounter with the voracious bluefish came back in the early 1950s, but it was not the huge “choppers” that so many saltwater fishermen go after. These were the young offspring called “snapper blues.” Regardless of their age and size, make no mistake about
it, bluefish are an eating machine, more often that not striking anything that moves, including their own. Many times I have pulled in snapper blues that have their silvery side showing marks from teeth of other fish.
All that is needed is some freshwater tackle. They will hit almost any bait offering, including shiners (dead or alive), pieces of shrimp, grass shrimp and just about any small silver lure and even flies.
This is the time of the year when snapper blues get to be big enough to get folks to fish for them. They will be found in dock areas and tidal creeks and backwaters.
There is even a torpedo-shaped casting plug for snapper blues that has an imitation grass shrimp on a leader. The grass shrimp is See Bluefish, A18

>> Bluefish From A16
only a piece of surgical-type tubing slipped over a hook, but they work quite well on these baby blues. I have found that a small freshwater bobber about a foot and a half above a silver spoon like a Phoebe works quite well. You cast it out and then reel it in, the bobber making a commotion on the surface of the water that attracts the snappers. The bluefish themselves, both the babies and adults, are an interesting story. There was a time when folks fishing for the snapper blues could catch and keep all that they wanted. When they were in a feeding frenzy, catching them was not a problem. Fishermen would go to a local dock and fish for them on the incoming tide. Those who really wanted to load up on the snappers would use a long bamboo pole with a length of fishing line tied to the end of it. The line was about as long as the bamboo pole. It would have a bobber and a hook with a saltwater shiner on it. When the bobber went under, they simply lifted the pole with a snapper blue on it and the line would swing into the angler. The snapper was unhooked and dropped into a five-gallon bucket, the line rebaited and the act repeated until the five-gallon bucket was filled to overflowing. This is also when things got a little out of hand. Fishing for snapper blues was fun and catching them was easy, yet it seems that no one ever gave “catch and release” a thought. The overflowing buckets were brought home and only some of the dead snapper bluefish were consumed. The rest were thrown away. Now comes the bad part. The angler would return to the dock the next day to do the same thing all over again! They would fill the bucket again as if this made them great fishermen. I never saw one of these guys return a snapper that they had

Stony Creek area. There were a number of local families there and, while we did fish for snapper blues, I do not remember any adult bluefish being caught. Maybe they just didn’t want to fish for them.
All that is needed is some freshwater tackle. They will hit almost any bait offering, including shiners (dead or alive), pieces of shrimp, grass shrimp and just about any small silver lure and even flies.
Today, along with the striped bass, the bluefish is the most important game fish in Long Island Sound. While many folks do not like them as tablefare, they are sought for their fighting ability.
caught. Finally, those in charge of our saltwater resources realized that this type of slaughter could not go on and they came out with a regulation that allowed ALL anglers fishing for bluefish, whether they were snappers or adults, a limit of 10. This put an abrupt end to the taking of way too many baby bluefish when they were in. Many of those that fished for them simply gave it up, saying that fishing for just 10 snapper blues wasn’t worth it. I was not one of them because even in the days of plenty, I only took enough for a meal. A fishfry featuring snapper blues is at its best when they are consumed they are caught. Once frozen, they seem to lose some of their appeal as tablefare. I have even found this to be true of the adults that are filleted for cooking. Since Edna does not like bluefish in any shape or form, I only have to fish for myself and 10 of these tiny snappers is enough for a fishfry for me and the girls (our Bichons also like a snack of bluefish). The snapper blues are a clean-looking fish with silvery bodies. All I need to get them ready to cook is a pair of scissors or kitchen shears. Using the scissors, I cut off the head, then the rib cage and stomach, leaving me with a product ready for the frying pan. I dredge them in flour and
put them in hot oil. They do not take long to cook. As soon as they brown on both sides, put them on paper towels to drain. A squeeze of lemon and they are as good as it gets. Some fresh tomato and cucumber in olive oil and red wine vinegar on the side and I am one happy camper. It is interesting to note that last year the snapper blues were very inconsistent in appearing in many of my favorite spots to fish for them. There was a couple of times that my fishing partner, Dave Wetmore and I traveled to the shoreline and came back empty handed, yet there were some anglers who found them with no trouble at all. But that’s why we call it fishing and not going to catch fish. Historically, the bluefish in Connecticut waters has been on and off over the years, even going back to colonial times. According to one of my research sources, bluefish have withstood repeated fluctuations in numbers in the northern part of their range. Bluefish were plentiful off southern New England in colonial times. As early as 1764, however, they disappeared from southern New England waters, not to reappear until about 1910. In 1945, they again reached a very low level in this area. As if to back this up, in the late 40s we had boats moored in a spot called “The Sargasso Sea Club” on Leete’s Island Road in the
As for their status as quality tablefare, I personally rate them right up with the striped bass, but ONLY if they are kept on ice when caught and then prepared and eaten the same day. I worked for many years at the L Suzio Concrete Company with a buddy of mine, Ken Staschke. I think that Ken loved catching and eating different species of fish more than any person I have ever known. He also had a dislike for bluefish — that is, until I pulled a fast one on him. While I enjoy eating the dark swim muscle on a bluefish fillet, I cut it out and discard it if I want someone to try my fried bluefish. I then cut the rest of the filet into frying-sized pieces, dip them in egg and flour, and fry them golden brown. Although they do smell “fishy” when you fry them, when you eat them there is no fishy taste. (Remember, this has to be fresh bluefish fillets, kept cool when caught and then cooked the same day; once they are frozen, forgetaboutit!) I took some that I had cooked to work the next day and asked Ken if he wanted to try some “fish” I had cooked. He asked me what kind of fish and I sort of fibbed a bit to get him to sample them. He absolutely loved them, but would not believe me when I told him they were bluefish.
them, bluefish will spoil quicker than most other species of fish if left in the sun. By the way, that fried bluefish I fed to Ken Staschke was one of my mother’s recipes from her time on Cape Cod. She prepared bluefish in more ways than I can count and often surprised folks when serving up one of her famous fishfries when she told the recipients they had eaten bluefish fillets. While I was writing this column, I decided to go down to our CT shoreline and give the snapper bluefishing a try. I tried three of my “go-to” spots and came away empty handed, not one snapper. It seems like that is where I left off last year. Maybe next week will be the charm.
Pokemon Go? The wonderful world of electronics. Just about everyone I have talked to about the Pokemon “epidemic” said it was wonderful because it was “getting folks into the outdoors.” Wow! Really? Other than “being outside,” do they ever get to see and enjoy Nature’s wonders? A couple of weeks ago I was up at Hubbard Park and Pokemon addicts were everywhere with their noses glued to the screens of their smart phones and whatever. Not one of them saw the mature bald eagle gliding over Mirror Lake. However, they were “outside.” Do you really want to get outside? Try fishing. The other day Skip Sauer, his son Kevin and twin granddaughters Emerson and Sydney tried fishing Mirror Lake and caught three catfish, one seven pounds, three ounces. The other two weighed five pounds. And prior to that Skip caught a 16-pound, 12-ounce carp. Now THAT’S getting “outside.”
