Automated greenhouses make for a smooth operation By Ashley Kus Record-Journal staff
No longer does working at a greenhouse mean watering plants by hand. At Kurtz Farms in Cheshire, the more than 30 acres of growing space is automated to water, monitor and care for the plants through computer systems.
By Mary Ellen Godin Record-Journal staff
The Record-Journal met up with Zach Welburn (known to his co-workers as Zach “Kurtz”) at the wholesale plant and flower center to talk about the automated greenhouses, challenges in the field, and the future of growing. Q: What do you do on a daily basis here at Kurtz Farms? Welburn: I usually fix things that are See Greenhouse, A12

Cheshire Coffee cancels plan for Southington site By Jeniece Roman Record-Journal staff
SOUTHINGTON — A Cheshire Coffee location planned for a West Street plaza earlier this year will not open. Developer Mark Lovley said owners of the coffee shop decided against moving forward with the location about six months ago after learning a Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen would be built as a standalone restaurant in the parking lot. Cheshire Coffee owner Jason Wagoner confirmed he pulled out of plans for the location due to construction of the fast food restaurant. “Everything in Southington is put on hold for now, until we sort it all out,” he said. Lovley said the commercial plaza, which was completed four months ago, has space for seven businesses, but currently has just two tenants in addition to the
Popeyes. Wagoner said construction of the Popeyes reduced available parking space. “We drove up there to check and we realized that there’s no parking spaces,” Wagoner said. According to Lovley, there are more than 100 spaces for the plaza, which he considered to be a sufficient amount. Wagoner said because the restaurant was built, a number of parking spaces meant for the tenants of the plaza were not available. He said customers would not park in the other parking spots, which he said are farther away, to get a cup of coffee. “When we originally signed the agreement, that was our parking space,” Wagoner said. Lovley, however, said he always intended to have a
building in that area of the plaza. “There was always something planned to go there, but we didn’t know what use it was going to be at the time,” Lovley said. Wagoner said there’s a possibility that a Cheshire Coffee store will open in another location in Southington, though he does not expect that anytime soon.

Santos, a former Meriden mayor, faces an uphill battle against Democrat Jahana Hayes, a Waterbury teacher and Wolcott resident who has the support of top state Democrats including U.S. Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Connecticut. She is also receiving financial help from Democrats inside and outside the state. Hayes has prioritized direct voter contact since the primary, said spokesman Andrew Doba.

As of the last filing on July 27, Hayes had raised $459,386 and had $359,058 cash on hand. Santos had raised $25,652 and had $1,579 on hand.
“There has been substantial coordination with various campaigns throughout the state,” he said. “We can’t intermingle money but we do coordinate efforts.”
“There is also some thought out there I’m going to do well no matter what I raise,” Santos said. “I think I have a great chance despite the disparity.”
Santos doesn’t expect to do any television advertising because it’s expensive and not well targeted, he said.

Solve the Puzzle
Filling the gap in the trail With the completion of an 0.8 mile stretch in Cheshire, the Farmington Heritage Canal Trail, which runs from New Haven to Westfield, Massachusetts, now spans 34 uninterrupted miles.
West Main Street crossing also features parking and bathrooms on Railroad Avenue, along with a water fountain and bicycle repair station. A picnic grove is farther down the route.
While the Cheshire gap was relatively small, closing it was no small feat. The paved trail is two-thirds of a mile long and 12 feet wide, with two sections of boardwalk over protected wetlands that total 1,000 feet long. The
Cheshire officials celebrated the opening of the crossing earlier this month, and they’re right to be proud. Closing the trail gap has been a long time coming. Cheshire was one of the first towns to build part of the Farmington Heritage Canal Trail, in 1993, with the section from South Brooksvale Road to Cornwall Avenue. But the project stalled for years after a nearby business filed a lawsuit against the town to block construction. The alignment of the path was subsequently changed to its current location.

With the closing of the trail gap in Cheshire, now, just one hole remains in the Farmington Heritage Canal Trail, a 4mile stretch connecting Plainville and Southington. The town of Plainville is currently awaiting funding to tackle that gap, and we hope that process goes smoothly. Cheshire did its part to complete the expansive walkway, now it’s Plainville’s turn.

DURHAM — On the first Wednesday of October in 1916, Durham began a tradition that would become part of the fabric of life in the town and eventually the entire state. That single-day celebration was the first of nearly a hundred Durham Fairs. Next year, the annual Durham Fair will celebrate 100 years, although not all continuous. The event was canceled twice, during World War II and because of a hurricane in 1938. The first year about 2,000 people attended a parade of 100 oxen, riders on horseback and floats. Similar to today, exhibits were set up and judged and contests were held until around sunset.
“There were only three cars in town, so automobiles were not a problem,” said Otte, noting the traffic tieups at recent fairs. But, the roads were a problem. The manure from the horses and cattle made a mess of the road, he said. “The organization was very loose at first. In fact, the fair shouldn’t have succeeded,” Otte said. “But, the fair has built up and become a thing people don’t want to miss.” In a town of 7,000 people, the fair now brings more than 200,000 to Durham each year. The record was set in 1990 with more than 265,000 attending. For 100 years, the backbone of the Durham Fair has been celebrating the harvest season and farmers getting to compete in the growing of

Now, more than 1,700 contribute to its success. And while about $300 in prize money was paid in the 1900s, now more than $100,000 is awarded to contest winners. Some notable past performers include Loretta Lynn, Toby Keith, Kenny Chesney, Diamond Rio, The Guess Who and Joan Jett. The fair association’s treasurer for 21 years and a Durham native, Len Baginski, said he’s been going to the fair since he was a child. 78684-01

Greenhouse From A1
not working, or I check the systems out. The greenhouses are all computer controlled by a system which monitors the temperature, humidity...it looks at outside air temperatures and the roofs open and close as (needed).
Q: Have you ever had to answer one of those middle-ofthe-night calls?
in general – many, many years. Q: How did you get into this type of work? Welburn: By trade I am an electrician and I started wiring greenhouses and then I got into the controls of the greenhouse.
Q: What is that computer system like?
Q: What made you want to work in greenhouses?
Welburn: So the main computer system sits in an office where the grower can set up all his parameters so each house can have different parameters for temperature or humidity so everything is its own zone. The computer system will actually graph everything so you can graph temps and humidity through the day so you can see if you have a problem with the crop. You can look at the graphs and say, ‘oh maybe my humidity was too high or too low and that’s what’s causing the problem.’
Welburn: I just happened to wire one and I got hooked on it.
Q: How long have you been doing this? Welburn: This facility about three years, but greenhouses
Welburn: Yes. I mean if it’s broken it has to be fixed. The big thing is maintaining everything so it’s always good so it’s always going to work. If you have no heat, you have no plants. You have no plants then you’re not shipping anything.
It’s just a different trade, it’s very computerized and it’s very smart. It’s not a matter of running a wire from point A to point B, it’s not the same thing everyday. It’s always different. Q: What are some skills associated with this line of work? Welburn: You have to be educated in fertilizers and pesticides. You need to be able to look at the plant and decide if there’s a problem with it or if there’s a bug infestation and what kind of bug it is and what you’re going to use to treat the bug.
Q: What are some recent advances in this business?
Zach “Kurtz” Welburn explains a new automated watering system recently adopted by Kurtz Farms in Cheshire. Photo by Richie Rathsack, Record-Journal
Q: What crops are planting now? Welburn: There’s quite a few houses with Poinsettias, those are planting now to get ready for Christmastime. The Poinsettias take a long time to grow and come into color. They’re started with a cutting, it’s not from a seed. They take a cutting of a plant and they start that in the pot to grow. Q: What kind of plants are popular now? Welburn: So right now we’re
growing a lot of mums, that’s a popular one. Here they grow a lot of annuals so that’s all year, flowers and then all-year potted vegetables.
Welburn: There’s a new system that’s in the basket line that actually weighs each basket and only adds the water needed. We tried it this past season and it was great to keep everything growing the same. There’s not a lot of watering that’s done by hand, most of it is done by robots.
Q: Are these the only greenQ: What are some challenges houses you operate? you face in this job?

Young Rams finding their way with rough start Amid an atypical 0-3 start, there are promising signs By Peter Dewey Special to the Record-Journal
NORTH HAVEN — The Cheshire Rams dropped their third consecutive game to open the 2018 season on Friday night despite a valiant comeback effort in the fourth quarter. The Rams fell 34-21 to North Haven at Vanacore Field, but battled back from a 34-7 deficit to bring the game within two scores.
The Rams turned the ball over twice in their own territory, both of which led to North Haven touchdowns.

Quarterback Jason Shumilla tossed a pair of fourth-quarter touchdowns, one to Danny Skibitcky and the other to Timothy Krutz. The Rams recovered an onside kick after the second score, but a holding penalty set them back and all but ended the comeback effort. “I believe we shot ourselves in the foot a little bit,” Cheshire head coach Don Drust said. “You can’t turn the ball over, you can’t have penalties against a good football team like [North Haven].”
Christian Russo is becoming a factor in the Cheshire attack. He had five carries and five receptions in Friday’s loss in North Haven. Justin Weekes, Special to the Record-Journal

Record breaker: ‘I wasn’t even born then’ By Sean Krofssik Record-Journal staff
itinerary. Breton credits her club team Dive Haven at Yale for much of her improvement.
CHESHIRE — In the controlled chaos of a swim meet at the Cheshire Community Pool, Sienna Breton has been as steady as anyone on the diving board.
“My club team is very technical, so my technique coming into the season was a lot better than the last three seasons and I think that helps with scores with dives overall,” Breton said.
On Thursday night, Sept. 20 in the Rams’ win over Lyman Hall, the Cheshire senior learned shortly after six dives that she had not only won her event, she’d made history.
Cheshire diving coach Patty Conte said Breton is talented, focused and goal-oriented. Conte added that Breton is competing more confidently and more relaxed this season.
Breton’s six-dive score of 285.65 topped Katelyn Cox’s 284.55, which has been the Cheshire standard since 1997. Cox, a State Open champion, graduated from Cheshire High in 2000 and went on to set more records at Boston College, where she signed off in 2004 as the Eagles’ top scoring diver of all time. Breton said she’s proud to be the new record holder at CHS. “I’m really proud of myself because I worked really, really hard so far even though it’s just the beginning of the season,” Breton said. “That was my goal for the entire season and I got it in the second meet.” Breton, who is known mainly as “C.C.” by her teammates, said her best dive of the night was one with a difficulty of 2.4. The judges gave it a 7.5 across the board.
With a score of 285.65 at Cheshire Community Pool, Cheshire diver Sienna Breton broke the school six-dive record of 284.55 set by State Open champion Katelyn Cox in 1997. Justin Weekes, Special to the Record-Journal
“I knew I was going to get a good score,” Breton said. “But I didn’t think I would be breaking this record this early in the season. I’m speechless right now.” Breton came close to breaking the record in Cheshire’s opening meet against Hamden when she scored a 244.35. The senior is in her fourth year of diving and has improved greatly each season. From her freshman year to
her sophomore year, she added 60 points to her score. Last year, she added 40 points. “My official goal is 300,” Breton said. “That’s really big and I need really high scores for that, but I think I can do it.” Last year, Breton finished second in the SCC and Class L championship meets. She was 10th at the State Open. Like many standout divers,
Breton has a gymnastics background. She competed for Plantsville’s American Gymnastics for eight years before focusing on the board. Breton has gained the attention of some top schools around the country and may be destined to compete at the Division I level. Breton has already made visits to Kansas University and Ohio University with other campus stops on her upcoming
“She knows what she wants and she wants to dive in college, and she’s very good at making corrections,” Conte said. “She’s always hungry for that next dive. That’s the difference between a good diver and a great diver. She’s also very talented and works hard, which is a great combination. “When you have a program with a national record of dual-meet wins and so many state titles, it’s really incredible to have any record here,” Conte added. Breton, 17, said she’s curious how long her mark will stand. “Now I have to see how long it takes to break my record,” Breton said. “It took 21 years for someone to break (Cox’s) record ... I wasn’t even born then.”

outside threats of receivers like Skitbitcky, Krutz and Alec Frione. “[Oris and Russo] are on the field for a reason,” Drust said. “We believe in them and were going to continue to grow and work with them.” The 0-3 start is definitely a tough pill to swallow for a storied program like Cheshire, but Friday’s fourth
quarter was promising. After losing 47-7 to Newtown, the Rams competed to the very end against North Haven. Shumilla looked much more comfortable throwing the ball. He completed eight of 14 passes for 142 yards and the two scores after the break. North Haven’s signature single-wing offense was just too much to overcome. The In-
dians ran the ball 47 times for 264 yards and four scores. “[North Haven] is a good football team,” Drust said. “[Coach Anthony Sagnella] does a tremendous job over there and they prepare well.” Cheshire will look to get in the win column next Friday.

HERE ARE THIS WEEK’S MALE & FEMALE NOMINEES .

..........
Chris Aceves
Sienna Breton
Coach Joe Testa’s Wilcox Indians are off to a 6-0 start in boys soccer and it’s no surprise. Most of the players from last year’s Connecticut Technical Conference championship team are back, including Chris Aceves. The senior has a team-high nine goals on the season after scoring two in last Wednesday’s 6-1 win over Whitney Tech and another in Friday’s 2-0 win over Platt Tech. So far, Aceves and the Indians have outscored their opponents 21-6.
Records do not easily fall in the Cheshire girls swimming and diving program, which holds a national mark for the 281 consecutive dual meets it won between 1986 and 2011. Cheshire’s six-dive record of 284.55 had stood since State Open champ Katelyn Cox established it in 1997. Last Thursday, after 19 seasons, it was finally eclipsed. The record now belongs to Sienna Breton, a senior, who compiled a score of 285.65 against Lyman Hall.
Matthew Marquis
Haley Larrabee
Matthew Marquis put his name on the marquee in Monday night’s Sheehan-Lyman Hall rivalry soccer doubleheader at Riccitelli Field. The Sheehan junior had the game’s lone goal in a 1-0 Titans victory. The strike came in the 52nd minute, when Marquis worked a set give-and-go play with teammate Julio Serna and rifled a shot from about 20 yards out into the upper right-hand corner of the net. The goal was the fourth of the season for Marquis.
The Southington volleyball team has attained the state’s No. 1 ranking upon a broad base of talent. Only one can be Athlete of the Week, though, so we’re going with the double-double machine, senior Haley Larrabee. Through six matches, Larrabee had 70 digs and shared the team lead with 55 kills. She had 15 kills and 28 digs vs. Bristol Eastern, 8 kills and 12 digs in the big upset of RHAM and 15 kills and 18 digs vs. previously unbeaten Farmington.
Tyler Stowik
Abby Lespier
Lyman Hall center midfielder Tyler Stowik is well on his way to another All-SCC season for coach Arnie Jandreau and the Trojans. Heading into Tuesday’s scheduled game with Foran, the senior had seven goals in Lyman Hall’s first six outings. Stowik was busy this past week. He scored three goals and assisted on a fourth in Thursday’s 6-1 victory over East Haven, then scored another goal in Saturday’s 4-4 tie with Branford.
We’ll see how things turn out this season for Maloney’s young girls soccer team. One thing is for sure, opposing teams are going to have a hard time putting the ball past sophomore goaltender Abby Lespier. Even when peppered, Lespier can stand up to a barrage. Through Maloney’s first five games, Lespier had 85 total saves, including 31 against Southington, 26 against Berlin and 16 in last Thursday night’s scoreless tie with Plainville.

She was followed by Cheshire teammates Olivia Ferraro (4th, 22:15), Megan Georgescu (5th, 22:32) and Elizabeth Addesso (6th, 22:54). That scoring gave the 4-0 Rams a sweep of Law (1940), Foran (15-43) and Lyman Hall (15-44).
Girls soccer Cheshire 5, North Haven 2: Caroline Campion scored a goal for Cheshire in the 22nd minute of the SCC Quinnipiac game with North Haven . On the eve of her birthday, the junior forward was just getting started. Campion scored again later in the first half, then added a pair of second-half strikes to complete a four-goal afternoon and lead the Rams to victory at Alumni Field. Lila McNamee scored the other Cheshire goal and assisted on one of Campion's as Big Red earned its first win after opening the season with three ties. Kaitlyn Loura, Ellie Pergolot-
ti, Kayla Agostinelli and Olivia Jones added assists for Cheshire. Seymone Rosenberg recorded four saves in net. Kelly Fresher and Julia Raposo had the goals for North Haven (1-4). They came in a four-minute span of the second half after Cheshire had built a 4-0 lead. Boys soccer Cheshire 1, Guilford 0: Matt Mayano headed home a corner kick from Jack Loura late in the first half and it stood as the game-winner in a SCC crossover between the Rams and Indians at Guilford's Bittner Park.

Rams, now 3-0-1 overall, have yet to yield a goal this season. Guilford fell to 3-2. Cheshire 8, East Haven 0: The Rams cruised to the SCC Oronoque victory in East Haven to improve to 20.
