Cheshire police lip sync for a cause By Ryan Chichester Record-Journal staff
Hollywood came to town Monday night as the Cheshire Police Department held a red carpet premiere for its lip sync challenge video.
By Mary Ellen Godin Record-Journal staff
The Cheshire High School commons area was turned into a movie theater, with a red carpet leading to a large projector, and tables selling popcorn, cotton candy, pizza and other snacks. Instead of traveling in a limousine, the “stars” of the video arrived via police cars.

On this night, town is lit by generosity By Steven Scarpa Record-Journal staff
Once again Cheshire was illuminated by electricity and generosity Saturday, Nov. 10.
Jenna Kemp, 14, of Cheshire, along with other volunteers, sets up a string of luminaries along Route 10 during the 14th Annual Cheshire Lights of Hope, held Nov. 10, to raise money for local charities. Justin Weekes, Special to the Record-Journal

For the fourteenth year, volunteers fanned out in the afternoon, placing luminaries — tiny 15-hour burning candles — all around town. Each luminary signifies a donation to Cheshire’s Lights of Hope, which in turn supports local community organizations
that need the help. This was a year of growth for the non-profit. Due to increased community participation, Cheshire’s Lights of Hope was able to increase its donation to the three primary recipients of the group’s philanthropy — Cheshire Community Food Pantry ($14,000), Cheshire Youth and Social Services ($14,000), and the Petit Family FoundaSee Cheshire, A7
The state’s 5th Congressional District may have lost its “swing” designation after seven straight wins for Democrats, political scientists say. “I've stopped calling the 5th a "swing district," said Gary Rose, chairman of the government department at Sacred Heart University. “Demographic changes within the 41 communities, party registration statistics, and political values of residents have combined to move the district into a less Republican and more of a leaning Democratic district.” Democrat Jahana Hayes won the election over Republican Manny Santos Tuesday, Nov. 6 by 11 points, better than the margin of victory in two of the three victories for her predecessor, U.S. Rep.

Final numbers for 103rd House District seat By Jesse Buchanan Record-Journal staff
committee, spent money in the 103rd and other districts opposing Democrats. Before Linehan narrowly won two years ago, the district was held for many years by a Republican.
State Rep. Liz Linehan retained her 103rd House District seat in a narrow win over Republican newcomer Diane Pagano. With slightly over 10,000 total votes cast, Linehan won by 315 votes, according to the Secretary of the State’s office. Linehan received 5,188 votes and Pagano received 4,873. The result of the race were not available at press time on election night.
Linehan pledged to work in a bipartisan fashion after what she described as a “contentious election.” Liz Linehan talks to supporters at Democratic headquarters on South Main Street in Cheshire on election night. Jeniece Roman, Record-Journal
Nov. 7.
The district includes parts of Cheshire, Southington and Wallingford.
Pagano said she was pleased with her showing in her first attempt at state office.
“I’m honored to be re-elected and once again serve the residents of Cheshire, Southington and Wallingford,” Linehan said Wednesday,
“As a newcomer, I did a pretty good job,” she said. Pagano won in Southington and in one Cheshire
precinct, but Linehan won Wallingford and two of Cheshire’s larger districts. Linehan said that she prevailed with “tens of thousands of dollars in D.C.funded PAC money spent against me.” Change Connecticut, a political action
“We saw this year how incredibly divided we are as a state and a country. Working together has never been more important,” she said.
Most of the questions passed by wide margins, in some cases nearly 3-to-1. The closest result involved $250,000 for bathroom improvements throughout the school district. The issue passed 7,846 to 5,398.
Cheshire voters supported all six referendum questions on the ballot Nov. 6, allowing the town to continue school, road and other projects totaling more than $4 million.
Three of the school projects were below the town’s threshold of $400,000 for a referendum, but were part of larger projects that did exceed the number set by town charter.

Artsplace Art Market to raise scholarship funds By Joy VanderLek The Cheshire Citizen
The holidays are coming right up and for many in Cheshire, a highlight of the season is the eclectic Artsplace Art Market. “It’s our high school scholarship fundraiser, and such a pleasure, with 29 artists,” said Artsplace director Joan Pilar-

mas, and the pizza provided by Cheshire Pizza. All of the proceeds went to Cheshire Public Schools and the Hometown Foundation, sponsored by Bozzuto’s Inc. The challenge also involved dozens of other police departments around the state. “I couldn’t think of a better way to say ‘thank you’ to the community than doing a fundraiser,” Cheshire police officer and lip sync video catalyst Tracy Gonzalez said. “It’s important to develop that relationship with the community.” The video features theme songs from hit films such as “The Greatest Showman” and “Dirty Dancing.” As officers worked on it, relationships were forged or strengthened. “I saw the bonds these officers have made with the community while the video was being made,” said Clem Kasinskas of Bozzuto’s, who donated video equipment to the cause, and was often up at 5 a.m. to work on production. “It really shows the value of community.” The community reacted positively when the film was shown, with the loudest ovation coming when a pair of officers re-enacted a well-known scene from Dirty Dancing. “I think this is a wonderful turnout,” added Carol Novak, whose son-in-law officer David Maliar appeared in the video. “This is great for the community.” All current members and retirees of the police department were recognized as they made their way down the red carpet. Officer Gretchen Ovesny also spoke at the podium to promote a new Kindness Program that she is hoping to start at the elementary schools in the near future.
“This was truly a labor of love,” she said.

The money raised also go towards two $2,000 scholarships for volunteer-oriented high school seniors. “We like to see how we are specifically helping someone in our community,” said founder Don Walsh, president of Cheshire’s Lights of Hope. People are quick to point out that there are needs in town that aren’t immediately apparent that Cheshire’s Lights of Hope can help with. “Even in a town that’s relatively affluent, there is a group of people who can’t heat their homes,” said volunteer David Mercugliano. +Lights of Hope is there to help with that kind of problem or, for example, to help
the senior citizen who is having trouble staying in their homes because of increased expense. The needs are there and the group is poised to assist.

seeking re-election. U.S. Sen. Christopher Murphy, also a Democrat, held the seat for three terms after beating then incumbent Republican Nancy Johnson by 12 points in 2006. Much of Johnson’s 6th Congressional District, which covered the northwestern corner of the state, merged with the 5th Congressional District, which includes Meriden and Waterbury, after the 2000 census resulted in Connecticut losing a district. The district now has 41 cities and towns, which also include Cheshire and Plainville. Its numerous small towns have traditionally favored Republicans, while its larger cities generally vote Democratic.

boost Democrats. The tough environment, and expectation by forecasters that Hayes would win, made fundraising lopsided from the start. Hayes, a 2016 national teacher of the year, had name recognition and strong financial backing from outside groups and Democratic leaders, such as Murphy.
The district has been viewed as more moderate than some of the state’s other districts, making for a better opportunity for a Connecticut Republican to return to Congress.
“Hayes' election was not at all a surprise and it was obvious that Santos was largely on his own to win the district,” Rose said. “She had celebrity status as the national teacher of the year ... the Me Too Movement and the Year of the Woman in politics added to her victory.”
But Rose said growing numbers of college-educated women voters in suburbs such as Cheshire, Newtown, and Farmington have helped

ready held. Santos won 13 of the 41 towns — Southbury, Watertown, Wolcott, Torrington, New Fairfield, Woodbury, Plymouth, Goshen, Middlebury, Thomaston, Harwinton, Bethlehem and Morris. According to a map of the governor’s race published by the Connecticut Mirror, most of those towns went deeper red in 2018. Many other towns, like Salisbury and Kent, went deeper blue. Some political watchers don’t think the district will change soon. “The 5th was a swing district winnable for a Republican, but the political and demographic winds are going to be at the Democrats’ back for the next cycle or two,” said Scott McLean, political science department chairman at Quinnipiac University.
“Her story … allows her to portray herself as a likeable contrast to President Trump and the House Republican agenda on health care, education and immigration,” McLean said. Santos also had a compelling story about his immigrant roots and military service. “Santos was not as effective as Hayes at using his life story to soften the harder edges of his policy positions,” McClean said. Republican Party Chairman JR Romano agreed with the challenges faced by Santos but believes the district is still up for grabs. “I still consider it a district with potential to flip,” Romano said. “Manny Santos was a great candidate but the media would have treated the race differently if the candidate had been (New Britian Mayor) Erin Stewart, or Dr. (William) Petit.”

Romano also said the 2003 redistricting “gerrymandered” the district to benefit McClean said Hayes has the Democrats.

“We try to light up the whole town,” Denne said. “I think this brings the whole community together. It’s a great community to be a part of.” In 2005 Walsh and his wife Jenifer were looking for something to bring their neighborhood together. They came up with the idea of luminaries all over their Contour Drive neighborhood and used the idea to raise money for Relay for Life in memory of a neighbor who died from cancer. In 2006 a neighboring street embraced the idea. In 2007 the murders of Jennifer Hawke-Petit and her daughters Hayley and Michaela broke the hearts of the community. Cheshire’s Lights of Hope helped in a small way heal Cheshire’s wounds that year and has only grown since. Since then over $900,000 has been raised for local charities. “Folks were really taken by it,” Mercugliano said. The important part of the day didn’t take place at night when everything was lit and Cheshire twinkled. It was the moment when high school kids went out all over town giving of their time. It was when people took a moment and a few dollars to say I am with my town, I care about my neighbors.
“We were finally able to get out around town at 10:30. We got to the end of the street and my wife was asleep. There were cars driving slowly around town looking at the beauty of it,” he said.

Walsh turned incredulous. “We did this,” he said. “Can you imagine that? We did this. This town is a special community. They come out for a lot of things.”

History lecture reveals the forces that formed the town By Joy VanderLek The Cheshire Citizen
(This is the second installment of a two-part look at how the geology of Cheshire helped shape the community.)
Laurie Sanders, who grew up on Mountain Road, served as Cheshire’s first environmental planner. She is currently co-director of Historic Northhampton, a museum and education center in Massachusetts. Sanders spoke at the First Congregational Church, Oct. 24, on the topic of “The Natural and Cultural History of Cheshire: Viewed Through an Ecological Lens.” She has a keen interest in the interaction between people and the environment and how one affects the other. (The narrative resumes after last week’s part 1 discussion of early Cheshire development and moves on to the mid-1800s and beyond.) What really changes Cheshire beyond farming, is the electric trolley. Commuting was born out the trolleys. “You are no longer bound to just what is here,” said Sanders. Automobiles are soon to arrive on the scene as well. Roads are built using macadam, made from crushed traprock, said Sanders. In the 1890s, some businessmen from Waterbury buy 280 acres of what is known as “The Notch” and they begin mining, said Sanders. They begin mining for the next 20 years, with the giant crusher on Peck Lane. Another game changer is domestic water. Up until this time, everyone is on a well, said Sanders. By the 1850s, towns are developing water supplies. Not for drinking water, said Sanders, but to suppress fire. By the time Cheshire develops a water reservoir for drinking, locat-
tection happens in the 80s and 90s in town, said Sanders. The abandoned rail line becomes a park in 1992 and with the last portion opened recently, Sanders believed it is probably one of the most popular parks in town.
Open space is important for the town and in following the lead of former Environment Commission Chair Jean May, Sanders backed the need to protect the ridge. “If there were homes built up there on the ridgetop, it would really change the Laurie Sanders spoke at the First Congregational Church on Oct. 24 on the topic of “The character [of the town],” said Natural and Cultural History of Cheshire: Viewed Through an Ecological Lens.” Sanders.

Hall’s three first-half goals sink Cheshire By Ron Buck Special to the Record-Journal
our execution,” Cheshire head coach Artur Branco said. “We just couldn’t possess it and our mobility off the ball killed us today. That was the key to the game
WEST HARTFORD — The Class LL boys soccer tournament saw upsets all over the state in the second round. The only problem for Cheshire was, it was on the wrong side of the bracket.
for these Rams. Cheshire hadn’t been to the state quarterfinals since 2011. It was still a special season for the Rams, especially the seniors, who won a fourth straight SCC division title.
“Nobody was proactive. It was a tough day for us. I think if we stayed here the whole day, we would end up with the same result.”
Playing the highest remaining Class LL seed Saturday, the No. 7 Rams were ousted 3-0 by No. 2 Hall in a quarterfinal match dominated by the Warriors. Cheshire allowed three goals in the match’s first 30 minutes and never recovered.
Class LL top seed Xavier, No. 3 Fairfield-Prep and No. 4 South Windsor all lost in last Thursday’s second round. Cheshire needed another upset at Hall on Saturday to reach the state semifinals for the second time in 24 years under Branco.
Even with Cheshire (12-4-3) switching its offensive attack to a 3-3-4 formation in the final 30 minutes and applying more pressure, it never seriously threatened to get a ball past Hall goalie Max Kalsner Kershen.
It was apparent rather early that wasn’t going to be the case.
Cheshire managed just one shot in the first half as the Warriors wound up notching The teams played a scoreless their fifth straight shutout. That shot came from 30 second half. yards out, as Matt Mayano “Today, we struggled with sent a harmless ball at Ker-
After losing in the SCC tournament, Cheshire beat Staples 3-1 to reach the LL quarterfinals after outlasting E.O. Smith 2-1 in overtime. After beating E.O. Smith and Staples on their home field in the opening rounds of the Class LL state tournament, Evan Esposito and the Cheshire boys soccer team saw their season come to an end Saturday in West Hartford with a 30 loss to No. 2 Hall in the quarterfinals.

“Honestly, when it gets to the tournament, these seeds are really just records,” Seguro added. “We all don’t play the same competition. So, I throw that out. I don’t put a lot of weight in seeding.”

“It’s not normal to get that many goals right away,” Hall head coach Zeke Seguro said. “We brought it in the first half. We knew we had to come out ready, and we were locked in. We made the most of our opportunities against a very good team.” As for being the highest remaining seed in Class LL, Seguro isn’t sold on the seeding process.

Hall, however, certainly looked deserving of its high seed. Hall is no stranger to deep tournament runs, but these Warriors (17-1-1) are enjoying their best season in two decades. The Warriors haven’t lost since a 1-0 setback to Class LL fifth seed Farmington on Sept. 21. Hall won 10 of its final 11 CCC regular-season matches, tying LL No. 8 seed Glastonbury 1-1. Meanwhile, Saturday’s match was uncharted waters
Against Hall, however, Cheshire seemed a step behind all afternoon. “We were just not moving,” Branco said. “But they are a good team. That’s why they are the No. 2 seed and we are coming here, and they didn’t come to Cheshire.” The Rams, trying to at least avoid a shutout, did manage six shots in the second half. It was too little, too late. Senior captain Toby Goldstein had Cheshire’s first serious threat when his corner hit off the Hall crossbar with 22:40 to play. Quinn Donahue mishit a ball wide right and high from 10 yards out with 15 minutes remaining and Mayano’s 25-yard shot was saved by Kershen with five minutes to play. Cheshire was outshot 10-7 overall. “We came out slow and didn’t really connect too many passes,” said Goldstein, one of Cheshire’s 15 seniors. “And defensively, we were unorganized. One little mistake against a team like Hall can lead to a goal and the end of the game.” Jamie Cowen got that first Hall goal 17 minutes into the match. Cowen, who scored Hall’s only goal in its secondround win over FairfieldWarde, beat Cheshire goalie Nate Pisani low and to the left from 10 yards out. His shot was untouched after he took a nice pass from Hall senior captain Clay Courtmache.

Rams upended by Amity in quarterfinals Record-Journal staff
As the No. 1 and No. 2 seeds, the Southington and Cheshire girls volleyball teams seemed destined, at least by the numbers, to meet in the Class LL state championship game. Numbers, though, don’t play the game.
On Saturday, in the quarterfinal round, playing on their home courts, the road to the final four took divergent turns for the Blue Knights and Rams. No. 1 Southington stayed the course with a 3-0 sweep over No. 8 Conard in the afternoon, while No. 2 Cheshire

A fourth Cheshire win seemed in the offing. Then the tide turned. Amity stayed alive 25-18 in Game 4 and rode the momentum to a 1511 finale. Cheshire seniors Mia Juodaitis and Jenny Wang had 10 kills and 9 kills, respectively, in their final match. Junior Lindsey Abramson was good for nine kills, nine digs, three blocks and three aces. Ari Perlini led the defense with 23 digs. Michelle Frenkel (20) and Emma Watkinson (19) combined for 39 assists in Cheshire’s two-setter system. Southington also went up against a familiar opponent. Conard is a CCC West division rival. The Blue Knights beat the Chieftains twice in the regular season and made it 3-for3 with a 25-14, 25-17 and 2519 sweep. Southington was led by Haley Larrabee. The senior captain posted a doubledouble with 14 digs and 12 kills on 24 swings.

TATIANA GONZALEZ
PLATT FOOTBALL
WILCOX TECH GIRLS SOCCER
A three-touchdown performance against Middletown last Thursday night at Falcon Field was merely the latest chapter in a must-read season for Platt senior captain Jake Baker. Scoring catches of 24, 12 and 40 yards on passes from Lorenzo Sanson gave Baker 12 touchdowns on the season. Baker went into the Middletown game with 35 receptions for 488 yards. A dangerous return man, Baker also had 328 yards taking back kicks and punts.
For the final slate of girls candidates in the fall Athlete of the Week contest, the R-J tips its cap to three players who had solid seasons from start to finish. They also happened to be among the leading scorers on their respective teams. Consider Tatiana Gonzalez. She delivered 15 goals and 12 assists for the 10-6-2 Wilcox Tech girls soccer team. The senior set the tone with two goals and an assist in the opener. She twice had four-point games.
AUSTIN RUIZ
KILEY JACKSON
Here in this season of the running back, Austin Ruiz became the latest area rusher to eclipse the 1,000yard plateau when he gained 136 yards last Friday against Jonathan Law. The Lyman Hall senior now has 1,108 yards on the campaign with two games to play. Ruiz is a true workhorse. He typically gets 20 or more carries a game – he’s up to 168 on the season – and he’s rushed for more than 100 yards in all eight games so far for the Trojans.
Playing on a team of stars did not take any shine away from Kiley Jackson. The junior enjoyed a breakout season by scoring a team-high 14 goals as she and the Rams stormed to their first 16-0-0 regular season in 28 years. Jackson and the Rams now turn their attention to winning their first state championship since 2011. With wins over Fairfield Warde and Amity, they advanced to a semifinal matchup earlier this week against Newtown.

The Southington girls soccer team piled up 52 goals this fall in marching to a 15-1-0 regular season. Shannon Litchfield, only a sophomore, scored 15 of them. That was the team high for the Blue Knights, who saw their season end in the second round of the Class LL state tournament on penalty kicks against Simsbury. Litchfield had five two-goal games en route to her 15. By season’s end, she had earned a spot on the All-CCC West team.

Make way for Jake McAlinden Junior back rushes for 262 yards, 3 TDs in Cheshire rout By Sean Krofssik Record-Journal staff
great job blocking tonight. They all played well. Snapping the football in this weather isn’t easy and our senior center Thomas Cherneskie did a great job. They all did.”
CHESHIRE — Running back Jake McAlinden thrived in the driving rain for Cheshire in a 40-0 SCC interdivisional victory over Harding on Friday night at Alumni Field
Then the Cheshire defense took center stage. Junior Trevor DeLott grabbed a tipped pass out of the air and brought it back 10 yards for a touchdown.
The junior rushed for 262 yards on 23 carries and three touchdowns as the Rams celebrated Senior Night in style, albeit wet style, and improved to 3-6.
The Rams then recovered a muffed kickoff. Two plays later, McAlinden rushed in for his third TD of the game. This one was his best. He broke five tackles and was seemingly wrapped up before plowing 23 yards for the score.
Cheshire led 14-0 at the half after scoring touchdowns on their first two drives. McAlinden and Ryan Mancl (2 TDs) had rushing touchdowns to cap the scoring drives to start the game and set the tone.

Jake McAlinden ran for 262 yards and three touchdowns Friday as Cheshire celebrated someone,” McAlinden said. Senior Night with a 40-0 rout of Harding. Justin Weekes, Special to the Record-Journal “I was looking at the ground
After a Harding punt, McAlinden broke free for a 64-yard run. Two plays later, Cheshire was down to the Harding 5 and Mancl punched it in on the ground for a touchdown, giving Cheshire a 14-0 lead.
On both scores, the Tier 1 Rams gave the Tier 2 Presidents (3-6) a heavy dose of McAlinden. Colby Griffin connected with Alec Frione for a 14 yard reception and then it was four straight runs by McAlinden, including a 25-yarder, that led to his 2yard TD plunge.
“Up front, our line was unbelievable,” McAlinden said. “The weather wasn’t what we hoped, but we didn’t let it slow us down. I’m soaked, but our line was unbelievable tonight. The line came
