Newly open trail section celebrated Virus ID’d at Lock 12

By Devin Leith-Yessian Record-Journal staff

Children who grew up learning to bike on the fledgling Farmington Heritage Canal Trail decades ago can now ride 34 uninterrupted miles with the unveiling of the completed 0.8 mile gap, in Cheshire, on Sunday.

“I used to play down there, so it’s incredible to see this developing,” said Jeffrey Guimond, who grew up near the trail in Cheshire. He is also one of the three co-owners of Ball and Socket Arts, a developing arts center adjacent to the West Main Street trail crossing. “It really is going to create a pedestrian centric entertainment and cultural district,” he said. “I think it will bring

problem. “We had an incredibly hot and humid summer,” he said. According to a letter sent to Cheshire High School families, the maintenance department is pursuing a permanent solution so the issue will not reoccur and will seek to “modify the cooling and dehumidifying system.” jroman@record-journal.com 203-317-2420 Twitter: @JenieceRoman

The Chesprocott Health District is urging residents to take safety precautions to reduce the risk of being bitten, according to a Sept. 5 press release. Residents should reduce their time spent outdoors between dusk and dawn, when mosquitoes are most active, and use insect repellent and cover arms and legs. Other tips include emptying or turning over containers, including pots, used tires, tire swings, and wading pools, to prevent standing water; drilling holes in containers; cleaning clogged gutters; cleaning and chlorinating pools; and changing water in bird baths weekly.

It is still uncertain how best to combat the invasive due to lack to funded research. However, pulling out the young plants may prevent establishment of new colonies, but only if done before rhizome formation, said Gadwa. Mowing in early September is also advocated by the CBS to “buy time and slow down the invasion.” 84960-03

“This is what transforms the state of Connecticut,” said Department of Transportation Commissioner James Redeker, who led the effort to secure state funding for much of the trail. “It provides affordable transportation via biking and walking, while improving health and the vibrancy of communities along the way.”

Sunday’s ceremony also saw the dedication of a memorial garden in memory of

“It became such an attraction that people from all over the region were drawn here and all over the state because many communities wanted to emulate what happened here,” said former Town Manager Michael Milone, who added he’s been on the trail with his wife at least five days a week since retiring earlier this year. “Our biggest hope is it will be a major economic development catalyst. The whole idea was to bring people down here.”

toured the route with a Record-Journal reporter.

“I do think that trails are a really critical asset for our communities,” he said.

“It’s a major step forward in what we’re trying to do out on West Main Street,” said Jerry Sitko, economic development director.

“The town is very happy to be involved and to have the use of it,” Noewatne said.

Project Manager Scott Bushee called his work on the trail “the most exciting project” he’s done during his time at the Department of Transportation.

The completion of the new trail adds to several projects over the years in the West Main Street area, including streetscape improvements and sidewalk extensions.

“It’s very rewarding ... it affects so many people’s lives,” he said.

Suicide awareness: help is available By Mary Ellen Godin Record-Journal staff

Amanda Atkinson Brooks recalled the many days when, as an adolescent, dark clouds made it impossible to get out of bed and go to school. Atkinson Brooks, 21, of Wallingford, says she has been fighting suicidal thoughts since she was a child growing up in Meriden. Her condition baffled her parents,

who took her to a pediatrician. The pediatrician referred her to a psychiatrist and prescribed medication, she said. When the suicidal thoughts didn’t subside, he would say “let’s up the dose,” Atkinson Brooks said.

Then one day, at age 13, Atkinson Brooks took a handful of sleeping pills she found in her mother’s medicine cabinet and woke up days later at MidState Medical Center in Meriden. “I was angry that I was found and saved,” she recalled. “I said ‘why am I alive right now?’”

“I was in and out of hospitals a lot as a child,” she said. “I picked up a lot of bad Atkinson Brooks contacted habits in those environthe Record-Journal to share ments.” her story during National Suicide Prevention Week, which

runs through Saturday. The attempted suicide led to profound changes that put her on a path to treatment and recovery. She has since married and maintains a regimen of therapy, medication, work and college that keep the dark clouds at bay as she strives for a career in psychiatric nursing. After her overdose, Atkinson Brooks was transferred to St. Vincent’s Hospital in Bridgeport, where she participated

in an intense treatment program for adolescents. While an outpatient, two therapists — one for herself and one for her parents — visited their home three times a week. Her parents encouraged her to transfer to Lyman Hall High School’s vocational agriculture program, where she acclimated herself to a new circle of friends and found success in her junior and senior year.

Chef specializes in aromatic Persian cuisine By Joy VanderLek The Cheshire Citizen

There are some similarities between the ingredients used to make the foods and those used in the cupcake. Some are similar to those used in the U.S. such as flour, baking soda and baking powder.

(I was recently invited to the home of a former executive chef to the British ambassador to Iran, where I received a warm welcome from Dariush Rose and his wife Marquerite Maghen. Their story follows, part of an occasional, series on food, cooking and culture and family.)

However, some ingredients are less common. For instance, the cupcakes are make with cardamom and rosewater, Maghen said, adding that cardamom is generally only used in desserts.

At Rose and Maghen’s home, food was waiting on the table. Among the offerings were cupcakes – or was it a muffin? The treat was golden in color, with a light sweet smell, and topped with chopped pistachios. Rose laughed but didn’t divulge exactly what the item was. “It’s tasty,” he said. Pushed further to tell what was in the cake or muffin, he only said, “Good stuff.” Rose and Maghen and their two sons came to the United States as refugees fleeing Iran. “Religious persecution was an ongoing thing in our life back in Iran,” Maghen said. In Iran, Rose graduated from culinary school and became, for a time, an executive chef to the British ambassador to Iran. Rose also opened his own restaurant, with a partner, at Beheshti University in Tehran. As Christians, however, Maghen said they were constantly under surveillance and were targeted and

Persian and Iranian food ingredients can also include mint, parsley, fenugreek, cilantro, nuts, basil seeds, coriander and saffron, an expensive spice from the saffron crocus flower.

intimidated by the government in many ways. They were lucky to get out and connect with Integrated Refugee and Immigrant Services, an organization that helped the family with its relocation to Cheshire, she said. This family says it has found a community here and Rose has established a catering company, Green Leaf Catering, featuring Persian food. “Everything is so fresh,”

Maghen said, to which Rose added, “We normally make everything from scratch.” The other key component is slow cooking. Persian and Iranian foods focus on lamb, chicken or beef kebobs, hearty and savory stews and fragrantly herbed rices — all cooked slowly to meld the flavors. Vegetarian stews can feature mushrooms, plums, spinach, lentils and celery. Mirza ghasemi, a vegetarian dish, consists of eggplant, spices and tomato.

The flavors remind the couple of people and places and bring back memories, Maghen said.

As Green Leaf Catering continues to make inroads with their catering services and food truck, Rose is also looking to place his products into stores and shops, including his ornately decorated cookies, called Koloocheh, filled with coconut or cinnamon and walnut fillings.

Cheshire edged by Shelton in fourth Gaels snap tie converting fumble in final minutes

Making his first varsity start behind center, Shumilla not only scored the Rams’ first touchdown to knot up the game in the second quarter, he was also Cheshire’s leading rusher with 113 yards.

By Ron Buck Special to the Record-Journal

MIDDLETOWN — Moral victories? No such thing on the football field. But Cheshire can take some solace after pushing top-10 ranked Shelton to the brink of overtime Friday night.

As expected, the Rams kept the ball on ground after losing three-year starting quarterback Jack Raba and the majority of its wide receivers. Schumilla didn’t complete his first pass until the fourth quarter.

In a SCC Tier 1 opener for both teams that appeared headed for overtime, Shelton escaped with a 17-10 victory only after Cheshire quarterback Jason Shumilla fumbled inside his own 10yard line in the game’s final minutes.

Shumilla scored with 6:51 to play in the first half, running 38 yards to even the game 77. Up until Shumilla’s score, the Rams had struggled on offense, going 3-and-out on their only two possessions of the first quarter. Cheshire didn’t get a first down until 7:13 remained in the half. But after running for 14 yards and that first down, Shumilla scampered for the game-tying score.

The next play saw Shelton quarterback Jake Roberts run for the winning score from eight yards out with 1:03 to play in the game. Despite graduating a schoolrecord 27 players, Cheshire played Shelton even for a half and the Rams also tied the game 10-10 on Jotham Casey’s 27-yard field goal with 5:57 to play.

down. Still, Cheshire kept Shelton in check as the minutes ticked down toward OT.

Cheshire freshman Christian Russo then intercepted Roberts with 5:02 to play to set up Cheshire for the potential winning score. But the Rams failed to get a first

Roberts’ winning score. Cheshire got the ball back with 1:03 to play at its own 39, but after two incompletions, Schumilla’s desperation deep ball was intercepted by Paul Ferrigno with 41 seconds to play. The Gaels ran the clock out from there.

The game, originally scheduled for West Haven, was moved to Xavier High School. The Gaels’ home field turf is not yet ready for football. Up until his fumble, it was a night of firsts for Shumilla.

Cheshire fell behind 7-0 when Shelton took the opening kickoff 77 yards and ate up nearly 10 minutes. After five runs and two screens to senior tailback Jack Carr put the Gaels on the Rams’ 14-yard line, junior Michal Lynch-Barnes first touch resulted in a 14yard touchdown run off the right side.

CHS Sports Roundup Field hockey Cheshire 2, New Canaan 0: The Rams notched a big non-conference victory in New Canaan, blanking a fellow Class L contender behind goals from Annie Eddy and Mikayla Crowley and an eight-save shutout by Lexie Hemstock. Eddy scored late in the first half off an assist from Nicole Salamone. Crowley connected for the insurance goal with 11:24 left in the second half. Eddy added a defensive save

as the Rams won their second game in as many days to get out to a 2-0 start and spoil New Canaan's season opener. Cheshire 7, Shelton 0: A hat trick from Olivia Salamone and single goals from four other players catapulted Cheshire to a SCC rout of visiting Shelton in the season opener for both teams. Along with scoring three goals, Salamone assisted on two others. Kayla Sansone, Megan Daly, Meaghan Hogan and Briana

Annie Eddy, Megan Crowley and Mikayla Crowley were the play-makers with one assist apiece. Lexie Hemstock opened hersecond season in net with a two-save shutout.

The Rams also got scoring from Olivia Ferraro (47th, 23:02), Meghan Georgesco (52nd, 23:14), Rosie Marquez (66th, 24:12) and Brooke Daddio (67th, 24:21).

Campion's goal came in the 46th minute and McNamee briefly gave the Rams a 2-1 lead in the 49th minute. McNamee and Marissa Brough had assists for Cheshire. Moira Kellaher tied the game for the Indians in the 65th minute. Tatum Meder had Guilford's other goal in the 13th minute.
