Town looks to market land on the north end

Grads to get all night party to remember By Joy VanderLek The Cheshire Citizen

By Jesse Buchanan Record-Journal staff

The All Night Grad party is now a mainstay at Cheshire High School and it’s a ginormous good time. ANGPs originated as a way for graduating students to celebrate their big day and to do so in a safe and sober space. Statistics prove drunken driving accidents occur at a higher proportion during prom and graduation season. As a result, many schools and communities now host ANGP to safeguard the well-being of students on this momentous occasion. In order to entice students to

“choose” to party with their fellow graduates at school, the ANGP attractions, games and food are tantalizing—and the decorating is over the top, too. In addition, the theme and decorations are kept as a closely guarded secret all the better to en-

hance the impact and fun when graduates arrive and all is revealed. Volunteers to help with the set up are welcome and needed as the decorating gets underway at noon on Thursday, June 13 – graduation

Town officials could soon be marketing nearly 50 acres of state land off Interstate 691 to developers. A bill, which still needs final legislative approval, would transfer three state properties to the town for five years. Cheshire would attempt to sell the land during that time, with the fair market value going to the state. Town officials have been trying to start development in the interchange zone of See Land, A2

Coming soon, The Cheshire Citizen will bring our readers a fun and informative history feature that will run most every week throughout the summer. We thought it would be a good way to recognize the town and it’s long

and varied story as the community celebrates 325 years of incorporation starting in 1694.

From A1

Rivers Alliance Executive Director Margaret Miner wanted the bill to be more specific about possible uses for the land and was worried about the impact on groundwater.

The town valued the land at more than $3.1 million. The interchange zone has been the site of planned developments over the years that have failed to materialize, including a mall and a shopping center.

YMCA receives $200K for Save Sloper Pond project By Jesse Buchanan Record-Journal staff

the 2020 Healthy Family FunFest.

SOUTHINGTON — The Main Street Community Foundation awarded more than $300,000 to local groups for wellness efforts.

In addition to the Sloper Pond money, the YMCA received $19,000 to offer diabetes prevention programs to those at risk or newly diagnosed.

Grants were awarded from the Bradley Henry Barnes and Leila Upson Barnes Memorial Trust.

The foundation awards grants that meet the criteria laid down by the Barnes

family. “Main Street Community Foundation takes great care to carry out the legacy of Bradley Barnes to improve the health outcomes of Southington residents,” said foundation president Susan Sadecki.

The largest grant was $200,000 to the SouthingtonCheshire YMCA’s Save Sloper Pond project. The YMCA has been raising money for dredging and other work to keep the pond healthy and useable for Camp Sloper. An education agricultural group headed by local farmer Mark Ramsay got a $35,000 grant to expand youth programs. Students attend Lewis Education Agricultural Farm to learn how food is grown. “Food is pretty important and a lot of youth today don’t understand where food comes from. They think food comes from a supermarket,” Ramsay said. “There’s a lot that goes into producing food, healthy food.” He’s hoping to expand programs, add a greenhouse and start a pollinator program that stresses the importance of bees. “It’s a help, it’s definitely a help with everything we do in the schools and everything we have going on,” Ramsay said of the grant. The Southington Education Foundation received $34,000 for a project to improve mental health through emotional intelligence in district schools. Bread for Life received $10,000 to support its meal program. Hartford HealthCare Senior Services received $10,000 to help fund

Romano will give us a look at the quirkier side of Cheshire, including the underground gas station and Paul Bunyan. The History Hound (AKA Romano’s dog Maverick) digs deep to unearth tails, er, tales of the people, places and things in Cheshire’s past that you may not have known or have

pondered yourself. First, a little bit about Mitzi Romano. Romano grew up in Simsbury (it’s very much like Cheshire, she’ll tell you), and her parents influenced her love of history while she was very young. “Both my parents were into history. My dad was especially into English and Scottish history, as well as the American Revolution and

the Civil War. My mom was an elementary school teacher, who specialized in Social Studies, which was essentially history,” Romano said. For her family, Romano said vacations always included museums. “My dad read every single piece of wall text, much to my mother's chagrin,” Romano said. Romano went on to graduate from Middlebury College in Vermont, met her husband, Tony, and they moved to Cheshire in the early ‘80s and raised two sons. A change in employment in 2016, gave Romano the

chance to do volunteer work with the Cheshire Historical Society. Creating a social media presence was one of the first things Romano did as a volunteer. “This allowed me to legitimately combine my love of history (and general nosiness) with my photography hobby,” she said. That’s when the History Hound came about. Romano and her husband adopted their dog, Maverick in 2014. “He is supposedly a Lab/ shepherd mix but we suspect there's some pointer

mixed in as well. At five years old, he is still extremely active – he would rather play fetch than sleep ... or do most anything else. He loves to hike with us,” she said. Most days, Romano and Maverick would venture out to sniff out stories. CHS Director, Diane Calabro, suggested the moniker “History Hound,” while Romano’s son, Scott, created the History Hound logo. That was the beginning to a great partnership, the results of which, you’ll have an opportunity to read in The Cheshire Citizen.

was: “When I grow up, I hope there will be more farms and more people to grow their own food. I think people and our Planet would benefit from it.”

Cheshire Land Trust's Ives Farm Woodlands hike, June 1, was one of more than 250 events held state-wide during CT Trails Day. This annual event takes place over the first weekend in June. CLT recently reopened the Ives woodland blue trail to the public. The hike, led by Nicholas Motmans, took the group through the hardwood forest in which Motmans discussed the trees that comprised each stand of trees in the woodlands. Highlights of the hike included wood frogs and green frogs, and wetland wildflowers such as wood betany (pedicularis canadensis), wild columbine (aquilegia canadensis) and Jack-in-the-pulpit (arisaema triphyllum).

COMMENTARY

Cell phone or smoking gun? By Lisa Cappelli

Cell phones (actually, smart phones) have changed the face of divorce cases, sometimes drastically. Here are some examples from cases that I have had. The divorce mediation was routine: the spouses had simply grown apart and wanted a peaceful divorce. But when the husband looked at the text messages on his wife’s phone and for the first time found out about her long term affair, the negotiations suddenly became much harder. In another case, explana-

tions of expenditures was not a major issue until the wife found gambling apps on the husband’s phone. Again the trust that was needed for a relatively amicable divorce settlement was lost and the disclosure of the husband’s gambling losses hurt his legal case. The camera on a smartphone and the saved photos can also make the divorce more contentious and adversarial. Those photos often don’t only live on the phone. They can find their way into social media. I recall the client who had no inkling her spouse was unfaithful until she noticed separate Facebook photos of her husband and one of her Facebook friends in the

same exotic location in the same time period. It turned out the affair had been going on for over a year. In another case, custody became a serious legal issue, and destroyed the couple’s good parenting relationship, when their child found an X-rated picture of his mom with someone not his dad.

Mann said she thought organization was a good skillset. To oversee the whole concept, Downing felt it important to keep the big picture in mind, and not get hung up on small things. “You just have to surround yourself with people who want to do it,” said Mann. “We just have organizing and little things to do now,” said Mann. One or two final, big pushes include transporting the entire collection, backdrops and other pieces, back to the school. That’s scheduled the day before graduation. Set-up and decorating the day-of the ANGP is the final step for the group. “This event takes a year of planning and I can’t wait to see the look on the kids’ faces,” said Esposito. “It’s all about the kids.

Researchers test waters at treatment plants By Bailey Wright The Citizen

Most people are familiar with the ever-growing number of macroplastics found in the world’s waters, more commonly known as plastic bags, bottles and straws. But Southern Connecticut State University researchers have turned their attention to a lesser known problem — microplastics. Microplastics and microbeads are small pieces of plastic and fibers commonly found in cosmetic and facial products, toothpaste and clothing — especially polyester and fleece. Professor of science education and environmental studies Vincent Breslin and graduate student Anthony Vignola have begun testing the water from North Haven and Meriden’s treatment plants to see how much plastic makes its way through them and into Long

Anthony Vignola, environmental studies graduate student at Southern Connecticut State University, moves equipment before testing for microplastics at the North Haven Water Treatment Plant on Universal Drive on May 23.

Southern Connecticut State University professor Vincent Breslin holds a sample of water that contains possible microplastics. Breslin and graduate student Anthony Vignola received a grant to study the water, which could be contaminating the Quinnipiac River and other bodies of water.

Microplastics From A17

Over the last few years, Breslin has studied the prevalence of microbeads in our coastal waters, testing areas like New Haven and Mystic harbors. Since the ban, Breslin said the presence of microbeads has declined, but is not gone entirely. Now he’s expanding those studies to look at the sources that allow the microplastics to get into bigger bodies of water. “There's been some studies that do show that a lot of wastewater treatment plants are pretty effective at removing microplastics (but the) wastewater treatment plants weren't designed to treat mi-

Studies have shown that anywhere from 95 to 99 percent of plastics that come into the plant are removed in the treatment process, Breslin said. “Even a small percentage results in a potentially larger impact to ecosystems,” he said.

‘No running from it’ Breslin said the plant managers have been “absolutely wonderful” in letting him and Vignola take samples for the study. The two took their first samples this month and plan to return three more times as the seasons change. Back at the lab, the samples go through a multiple-step filtration process to remove organic matter and capture

DELIVERY ROUTES AVAILABLE

To avoid using products with microbeads, the Department of Energy and Environmental Protection recommends consumers look at their personal care products for either the term “microbeads” itself or “polyethylene” which is a term for plastic.

Routes available in the following towns: Meriden, Wallingford, Southington, Cheshire, Middletown, Middlefield, Durham and Berlin

This microplastics study is being funded by the Werth Center for Coastal and Marine Studies and the Quinnipiac River Fund, as well as Southern Connecticut State University. An app called “Beat the Microbead” is also available for consumers looking to learn more about their products.
