Gianna Dicaprao, 4, of Prospect takes a ride for a spin during the Cheshire Fall Festival in Bartlem Park on Sept. 15.
The sun was shining as hundreds of residents gathered in Bartlem Park Saturday for the 30th Annual Cheshire Fall Festival. “It’s beautiful weather. To be out in the sun finally after a terrible week of rain,” said Mike Bowman, a Cheshire resident. Scattered about the field were more than 80 vendor booths, a carnival, food trucks, and a car show.

Bill Mrowka has decided to go out on top. Mrowka, who has been with the Cheshire baseball program for 31 years, including the last 21 as head coach, told his players in a team meetMrowka ing last Thursday afternoon at Cheshire High School that 2018 was his last with the Rams.

In a written recommendation to the commission, hearing officer Valicia Dee Harmon agreed with some of the town’s arguments that portions of the investigation need not be released, such as medical information.
“It is found that these records are necessary to and facilitate the public understanding and evaluation of the Cheshire Police Department’s investigative process, decision-making and overall handling of an important matter involving a fellow police officer,” she wrote.

Joseph Schwartz, an attorney with Murtha Cullina who represented the town, argued that some of the details of the investigation were sexually salacious and shouldn’t be disclosed under the privacy exemption. He also argued that the case occurred more than a decade ago and that the actions were no longer relevant or of public interest.

Union pickets against higher premiums at UTC Michelle Basso awoke early Monday and joined coworkers on a picket line outside UTC Aerospace’s Knotter Drive location to protest higher insurance premiums and deductibles. The Torrington resident has been a quality control and inspection worker for 14 years at UTC Aerospace Systems, a division of United Technologies Corp. making parts for guidance systems and gyroscopes. “We are at the bottom of the barrel,” Basso said. “We can’t pay the insurance. We want to be treated the same as the others. We make a lot less than they do.”
A UTC spokeswoman said Monday the company was assessing its next steps and it was too early to say what option it might take to meet customer needs. “UTC Aerospace Systems will remain open and operate as normal throughout the work stoppage,” spokeswoman Jessica Napoli said. “We have robust contingency plans in place and do not expect the strike to affect our customers or suppliers.” UTC shut the gate at the Knotter Drive plant and Cheshire police guarded the driveway Monday. The pickets took turns protesting during four-hour shifts with a nearby coffee and doughnut station providing refreshments. Several passing trucks honked in solidarity with the striking workers. The union said UTC’s latest offer included pay increases that were too small to keep
up with a hike in health care costs. Workers at Pratt & Whitney and Hamilton Sundstrand, also UTC divisons, earn double the amount the UTC Aerospace Corp. workers earn, according to the union. All divisions were offered a 2 percent wage hike across the board but the higher health care premiums and co-pays threaten to offset any gains the Cheshire employees might receive. Some workers could earn less pay. “Many of the workers at the ratification saw that their pay would actually go down if the agreement was approved,” said Mike Stone, directing business representative for AMI District Lodge 26. There is no date to return to the bargaining table and Stone has not spoken to management since the strike vote. The workers are prepared to strike as long as necessary to get a deal, he said. Gail Byrd-Fox, of Waterbury,

has worked for the company as a quality tester for 44 years. “I’m getting ready to retire,” Byrd-Fox said. “There are workers having children and having a hard time bringing them to the doctor, it’s so expensive. I’m here because somebody fought for me. I’m going to fight for someone else. They can’t give us 2 percent when the deductible keeps going up.” Other strikers also complained that UTC is dividing the older and younger work-
ers by failing to provide a pension to the younger ones. UTC Aerospace Systems makes aerospace and defense products. It also designs, manufactures and services systems and components for the commercial, military and space industries. The entire Aerospace Systems division has 40,984 employees and reported $14.7 billion in net sales, according to a UTC report that also said the entire company made $59.837 billion. mgodin@record-journal.com 203-317-2255

Festival From A1
activities, demonstrations and live performances from bands were also showcased. The festival, coordinated by the Cheshire Chamber of Commerce, ran Friday and Saturday from 9 a.m. until 9 p.m, beginning with activities such as outdoor yoga, prize raffles and culminating in a fireworks display with the Cheshire Community Band. Bowman said he has attended the festival as a guest for many years but in the past several years he has attended as a vendor, representing F.F. Hitchcock Company. Bowman said the event is a great opportunity to generate business while supporting the community. “Just to get out and meet people and put a face to a name,” Bowman said. Bowman said he also enjoys the opportunity to spend time with his wife and 5 children, who all attended

the festival. He said it’s great to have his family with him while he represents the company. “The kids are running around, passing out pens and business cards. They think it’s great to meet people then they run down to get a hot dog at Blackie’s,” Bowman said, referring to the popular Cheshire hot dog stand. The Cheshire High School Marching Band performance
drew large crowds. Among the dozens of parents and children in the crowd was Cheshire resident Susan Gilson. Every year she looks forward to the performances of the high school marching band and returns for the fireworks at night. “We love to see the marching band and I’m actually a part of the Cheshire Community Band so I come for the concert,” Gilson said Gilson said she also looked

forward to the karate demonstration and Junior Cheer performance. She said this year her daughter will be performing with the team at the festival.
at junior football games, the festival is a major event that the girls look forward to. “They love it,” Dragunoff said Dragunoff said that her hope was for the girls to have fun, show their spirit and show the town what they can do. Her daughter Ellie, who is in 5th grade, is also on the team.
Joanna Dragunoff, Cheshire Cheer coach, said the girls on the teams have been practicing for their performance at the festival since late July. She said the teams are broken up into three groups whose ages range from eight years old to 13 years old. She said apart from their weekly cheering
“I’m going to walk around with my daughter, probably go to the carnival and check out all of the booths,” Dragunoff said.

To the editor:
To the editor:
I am excited to support Dan Fontaine for our 90th district representative on Nov. 6. Dan is committed to the rights of all citizens while Craig Fishbein has pushed an extreme social agenda: of Connecticut’s 151 representatives, he was one of four opposed to the Women’s Pay-Equity bill, one of eight allowing gay conversion therapy on children, and the only one supporting dual arrest for domestic violence victims. Additionally, he is committed to rolling back Sandy Hook gun reforms and voted against the ban on bump stocks.
SD-16: Do you want a senator who already knows the only correct answer to every problem, refuses negotiating within his party or with Democrats, calls Republicans who do “cowards,” (direct quote at Cheshire Senior Center, Sept. 13) and thus has no legislative accomplishments? Then vote for Sampson.
Please vote for Dan Fontaine, a candidate with respect for all Laura Lytton Cheshire
Or, would you prefer a senator who listens to her constituents, discusses the solutions with all colleagues, works across the aisle and produces results for her district? In that case, there is no choice.

Here’s to our very own Q-River By Olivia L . Lawrence
Seeing the Quinnipiac River get the TLC it deserves is heartwarming and sets an excellent example of communities taking care of a great natural resource in a collaborative fashion. The 45.5 long waterway runs totally within the confines of the state, so it’s all ours and worthy of our attention.
river cleanup last weekend and that event was just one of the regularly scheduled housekeeping events for the river that, each and every time, yields significant piles of trash hauled out of the waters and surrounding wetlands.
clean-ups typically take place in multiple locations along the river’s route, and can include sites in Meriden, Plainville, Southington, New Haven, North Haven’s tidal marsh, Wallingford and Cheshire.

with a town planner when the Mattabassett River was about to get signage announcing the waterway’s presence as it wound its way through Berlin and surrounding towns. Several signs were to be placed where the river went beneath or alongside local roads and also at highway points. The planner said that the first step in making people care about a river is to give it a name and call attention to the fact that it’s even there, flowing, providing substance to wildlife, enriching our lives in so many ways, even as the water’s path is mostly invisible as we go about our daily human activities. (I say mostly, as the Mattabassett does occasionally flood, and that is plenty noticeable.)

Altogether, this "long-watercountry," as it was originally known, is located entirely within the state, our very own river that we don’t have to share with any other state. And that may be another reason it’s near and dear to us. The Q-River and a nearby hiking trail run through Sleeping Giant State Park, a sacred site of the Quinnipiac people. According to the tribe’s mythology, that sleeping giant is the petrified body of their cultural hero, the Stone Giant, Hobbomock.

Volunteers go out for clean up along river By Jeniece Roman Record-Journal staff
to find human impact,” Hughes said. “It’s all over the place.”
MERIDEN — Rubber tires, a mattress, and living room furniture were among the items volunteers found along the Quinnipiac River last weekend.
Hughes said he brings his daughter, Sam, to the river cleanup. Last year, they found a tire. “It’s like, why would you throw a tire away?” she said. “Seriously.”
About 50 volunteers picked up garbage and litter along the river for more than three hours on Saturday. The cleanup was organized by the Quinnipiac River Watershed Association. “The great majority of stuff that comes out is litter,” said David James, event coordinator.
James said that every cleanup is different. He has participated in cleanups with more than 100 volunteers and others with only a dozen. “Numbers do matter to a deLisa Burton, left, and Marcus Smith, 15, of North Haven, gather trash along the linear trail Sept. 15 during the fall river cleanup at the Quinnipiac River Water Authority headquarters gree but a lot of times it’s in Meriden.

CHS Sports Roundup Field hockey Cheshire 6, Simsbury 0: Kiley Jackson broke into the varsity scoring ranks in a big way, notching a pure hat trick to lead the host Rams to a non-conference blanking of Simsbury at Alumni Field. Jackson scored the last three goals of the first half in a span of 6½ minutes as the Rams built a 5-0 lead by the break. Sophia Vagts also scored her first goal for Cheshire and Sabrina Cass tallied her first varsity point with an assist. Veteran Mikayla Crowley got in on the act with the opening goal and an assist on one of Jackson's strikes. Olivia Salamone added a goal

HERE ARE THIS WEEK’S MALE & FEMALE NOMINEES .
A13
..........
Terrence Bogan
Nicole Albert
The benchmark of excellence for running backs is a 1,000-yard season. Here in 2018, after just two games, Sheehan’s Terrence Bogan is more than halfway there. The junior has rushed for 534 yards and seven touchdowns on 41 carries to help the Titans get out to a 2-0 start. Bogan ran for 215 yards in the opening 48-14 win over Jonathan Law, then erupted for 319 yards in last Friday’s 62-27 victory over Stratford. He is averaging 13 yards a carry.
Launched by its rivalry victory over Sheehan, Lyman Hall volleyball got out to a 2-1 start in the first week of play. The Trojans have a nice array of talent. At the hub once again is the setter, Nicole Albert. Now a senior, Albert dished out 28 assists and six aces in the 3-1 win over Sheehan. She posted 30 assists and 20 service points the next night in a loss to West Haven. Through three matches, Albert had 67 assists, 48 service points and 15 service aces.
Jaylon Nixon
Katie Kearney
You know who plays a hard game of football for the Maloney Spartans? Senior Jaylon Nixon. As a slot receiver, Nixon made touchdown catches in each of Maloney’s two victories to start the season. As a linebacker, he had 15 tackles — 7 solo — and an interception in the 26-20 win over Windsor, then recorded nine tackles in Saturday’s 38-0 shutout at Hartford Pubilc. “He brings great passion and great energy to the team,” said coach Kevin Frederick.
Katie Kearney has been the premier scorer for Wilcox Tech girls soccer throughout her career. She went over 20 goals as a sophomore and did it again last year as a junior. It’s a safe bet she’ll make it three straight. So eager was Kearney to get back down to goal-scoring business she torched Prince Tech for four goals in the season opener — in the first 14:30 of play. Kearney followed that up with a goal and an assist in a 2-0 win at Grasso Tech.
Lorenzo Sanson
Olivia Sherwood
Platt quarterback Lorenzo Sanson didn’t have to throw the ball much in his first varsity start against Farmington on opening night. It was raining and the ground game was more than efficient in producing a 27-7 victory. In Week 2, however, with Bridgeport Central loading up against the run, the challenge was on Sanson to deliver. He did, emphatically. The senior completed 14 of 20 passes for 196 yards and two TDs, all in the first half, as Platt rolled 35-0.
The Lady Knights knew they were in sure hands this season with returning goalkeeper Olivia Sherwood. Last year, as a junior, Sherwood backed a defense that recorded 11 shutouts and allowed just 12 goals in 18 games. So far this season, it’s more of the same. In fact, Sherwood and the Lady Knights are 4-for-4. They’ve gotten out to a 4-0 start through Monday by shutting out Conard (1-0), Hall (1-0), Maloney (5-0) and Manchester (2-0).

A quick good night to Rams
Mrowka From A1
Record-Journal staff
“It seemed like the right moment to go out on top. It’s something I was thinking about,” Mrowka said Thursday afternoon. “Now it’s time to let someone else get a shot at it. Being here 31 years, winning a state championship and going out like we did made it even nicer.
NEW TOWN — This was the week of the SCC/SWC/ECC challenge games. Conference versus conference for a sense of dominance.
“I've had great players,” Mrowka added. “I couldn’t have done any of this with out them — all of them — since 1998 to 2018.”
In some quarters, the mighty SCC more than held its own. In Newtown, it did not, as the host Nighthawks, a perennial power in the SWC, pinned a 47-7 loss on Cheshire.
Cheshire athletic director Steve Trifone attended Thursday’s team meeting to witness Mrowka’s farewell as head coach. “He’s been talking about it for a while. After the state championship he thought about it more,” Trifone said. “Thirty one years is a long time and he’s put a lot of players in college. He’s been a mainstay with Cheshire baseball for a long time. I knew it was coming; I just had no idea when.”
The Nighthawks landed a quick TKO, scoring on their first four possessions and then capitalizing on prime field position late in the first half to build a 41-0 lead by intermission.
Trifone added that Mrowka wanted his players to know about his departure before anyone else. “He was sincere with them,” Trifone said. “He told them he loved them, but you come to a point in life that you know it’s time to move on. All of the players gave him a hug after he spoke. It was nice.”
That put the affair on running time and a quick conclusion. Jason Shumilla’s 1yard TD midway through the fourth quarter spared the Rams a shutout. Quarterback Jason Shumilla accounted for the Cheshire
It wasn’t until later in the half, with about four minutes to go, that Cheshire stopped Newtown for the first time. The Rams, though, were pinned deep in their own territory and wound up punting out of the end zone.

On the first play after the punt, Mason broke off a 36yard TD for a 35-0 Newtown lead. Field position factored into the final Newtown score. Forcing a Cheshire punt and taking over inside the red zone, the Nighthawks bid an official goodnight with a third straight touchdown run by Mason, this time from 6 yards.

That put the Nighthawks up 14-0 with 4:18 left in the opening quarter and they took that advantage into the second quarter. There was no let up there. Cheshire opened the frame with a punt, Newtown took over at its 21, Tucker Garrity took a screen pass from Melillo and was gone for an 85-yard
That was it. The hole was dug and it only got deeper. Dan Mason rushed for a three-yard TD to extend the Newtown lead to 28-0 with 8:26 still left in the half.

The ice got immediately thinner. Colby Griffin, who got the nod at QB for Cheshire on the first series, threw an interception and Newtown took over on its own 46. That turnover led to another touchdown for Ward, this time on a 67-yard catch-and-go with quarterback Luke Melillo.

On this Friday, Newtown got right down to business, returning the opening kick to midfield and promptly driving for the opening score. Riley Ward capped it with a 17-yard run 3:39 in.

Common places of origin, manufacturers of this product, are not regulated and are often unknown since these products are purchased via the Internet whether wholesale or retail. Several websites that sell the product are based in China. Some products may contain an herb called damiana, which is native to Central America, Mexico, and the Caribbean.” Glendon warns that there are many other dangerous drugs and chemicals out there that people are addicted to as well. Many of them are household items that people can use as inhalants to get high. Products such as nail polish, gasoline, hairspray, glue and deodorant can also give off dangerous chemical highs that can sometimes result in vital organ damage and sudden death. For Hartman, the incident on the Green has damaged the city financially and tarnished the image of the Elm City. He estimated that for each transport by ambulance to the hospital cost the
city over a thousand dollars due to the use of NARCAN, transportation service, medical and police costs. He said most of the individuals were not from New Haven and indigent thus making them unable to pay for the costs which the city will have to cover. Hartman said that despite the carnage he has seen on the job over the years, scenes like the massive overdose on the Green still negatively impact him, other officers and first responders. “We had a woman from the New Haven suburbs drive down here with a sample of NARCAN, after she heard of the massive overdose,” Hartman relayed. “She had bought it in case her own son who had addiction issues ever overdosed yet she volunteered her sample which usually costs in the hundreds of dollars for police to use on those victims on the New Haven Green. It was a totally selfless act that brought me to tears.” While no one died during the New Haven incident, other cities such as Washington D.C. have had fatalities. On Aug. 24, The Washington Post reported that three individuals in the district died from consumption of K2/Spice. Hartman said, “Nothing is more important than being well and addiction is bankrupting the country.”
