Murphy’s strong start to swim season State Open champion looks to push precedent heading into junior campaign By Sean Krofssik Record-Journal staff
it, not surprisingly, was Sophie Murphy.
CHESHIRE —The Cheshire girls swim team opened up the 2019 campaign extending its win streak with a pair of victories over Glastonbury and Sheehan on Thursday, Sept. 12. Smack dab in the middle of
The junior All-American and reigning Record-Journal Girls Swimmer of the Year collected four wins on opening night — two individually and two with relay teams.

The forums began during the previous school year, in response to concerns about bullying that had been raised following the suicide of an 11-year-old Doolittle Elementary School student last December. Board of Education Chair Kathryn Hallen said at the beginning of Monday’s meeting, its purpose was to allow community members and parents to address the board with questions and concerns. She didn't place a time limit on how long people would See Meeting, A3

Police responded to the couple’s home Wednesday night, Sept. 11, and found Dominguez in a pool of blood on the floor. She was rushed to St. Mary’s Hospital and died four days later. Police said she had been stabbed as many as 30 times.
Police confirmed Dominguez’s 11year-old son and the couple’s almost two-year-old daughter are in the care of the state Department of Children and Families. Dominguez represented herself in the divorce filing and listed irreconcilable differences as her reason for ending the marriage. She sought
Dominguez-VillaGomez hired local attorney Ramiro Alcazar to represent him in the divorce proceedings in August. A case management session was set for Nov. 12, according to court records. Alcazar was out of state last week and unaware of the incident and the charges against his client, he said. Dominguez’s 11-year-old son called 911 during the attack and could be heard screaming in the background, police said. Police tracked the call using GPS tracking. The child later told police his stepfather was

be allowed to ask questions. Superintendent of Schools Jeffrey F. Solan, who followed Hallen, cited recently released statewide student test results as a validation of the things the district does well. “We do a lot of things incredibly well. But you can never support students enough. In that vein, we are constantly looking at the programs we offer and we're always looking at ways to improve on that,” Solan said.
Mike Michaud, who lives at 796 Mountain Road, is a neighbor of the Cheshire mother of two children, who died from stab wounds Sunday in a brutal domestic incident. Dave Zajac, Record-Journal

choking his mother. Memorial messages were posted on Dominguez’s Facebook page with tributes from co-workers and friends who described her as a “wonderful person.”
Dominguez lived in Wallingford for four years before purchasing the Cheshire home with her husband in March of this year. She was named to the Dean’s list and graduated from Post University in Waterbury in June.
Solan said officials have taken the feedback received from families and students in an attempt “to approve ourselves as a school system.”
Last year, the school district reported 207 disciplinary infractions, a number that includes bullying. It was exactly the same number as the previous year. But within that was an increase in bullying incidents, from 13 districtwide in the 2017-2018 school year, to 25 during the last school year. The bullying figures were not mentioned during the meeting, but were included in printed documents that were handed out to board members.
Most parents and residents spoke positively of their children’s and grandchildren’s experience in Cheshire schools. But some spoke of issues with the bullying reporting process. See Meeting, A4
Jeff Natale, a town resident, told the board he attended with the expectation more data from school climate surveys of students would be presented. Solan noted that data is on the school district's website. Natale, interviewed later, said while he was disap-

pointed by the fact that the survey data wasn’t shared, the fact the overall conversation was less confrontational than at previous meetings was positive step.

Mike Michaud lives at 796 Mountain Road and said he moved in around the same time as Dominguez and Dominguez-VillaGomez. Michaud said he would see them in the backyard and wave. He said he did not hear anything unusual the night of the incident.
“Our students are achieving at record high levels, but we need to make sure we are meeting the needs of every individual child,” he added.
Michaud said he feels for the children and hopes justice prevails.
At that point, Solan shared the only disciplinary figure that would be publicly discussed during the roughly 90-minute forum.

“My impression is that there’s some hindrance there,” Burnham said. Solan acknowledged Burnham's concern.

“What we don’t want is for people to be discouraged about making a report because of the paper work,” Solan said, explaining the district now has a system in place to make anonymous reports.
“Some kids...just need to be told you can’t do this anymore,” she said. “It's not acceptable behavior and we’re done… people are almost hesitant to go through this… you don’t want another kid labeled a bully at the age of 10. There’s gotta be a different solution to this problem.”

Board member Adam Grippo read a statement he prepared anticipating to hear more heated comments from parents. “This went a little different than what i was expecting,” Grippo said. He praised the school district's mental health staff. “More often than not our childen's needs are met on a daily basis,” Grippo said, acknowledging there is still a disconnect, and a need for the district to be accountable and responsive to the community. “It’s because of you that we’re here tonight.

Bike event to pedal past farms By Michael Gagne Record-Journal staff
Last June, when Bike Cheshire and Hartford Healthcare held the town’s first “Ride to Wellness,” the routes were decidedly short and moderate distances: four and 10 miles. The next ride, on Saturday, Sept. 21, will still have a 10-mile route, but adds a 25-mile route that loops around Cheshire. “We’re calling it the ‘Tour De Farms.’ It goes by every major farm property in town,” said Jim Jinks, executive director of Bike Cheshire and one of the ride’s organizers.
The 25-mile route will traverse past Old Bishop Farm on South Meriden Road and Ives Farm on Cheshire Street. For less experienced riders, and those of varying ages and skill levels, the event’s 10-mile “Town to Trail Loop’’ might be more attractive. The first Ride to Wellness brought in 30 riders. “We’re aiming to be close to 100 riders,” Jinks said about this year’s event. The event is free. Participants can make a donation to Hartford Healthcare’s Chase Family Movement Center.
“There’s a way to do that through our registration page,” Jinks said. Jinks and fellow avid riders from Cheshire mapped out the routes. “The stipulations were, we want to start and stop at the Hartford Healthcare center. And we want to try and avoid the main state highways as much as possible,” Jinks said. Pre-ride check-ins will start at 11 a.m. at 280 S. Main St., the center’s location, on the day of the ride. The ride itself will begin at 11:30 a.m. All would-be riders are required to sign waivers and wear bicycle helSee Bike, A6

Event aims to assist in identifying drug abuse By Michael Gagne Record-Journal staff
An event planned later this month at Town Hall aims to teach parents how to recognize when a child might be using opioids and other drugs. Maura Esposito, director of health for the Chesprocott Health District, said she is
excited for the event, which state Rep. Liz Linehan, D-Cheshire, also had a large role in organizing. The event is scheduled for Thursday, Sept. 26, 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Esposito and Linehan said the program will include a “Hidden in Plain Sight” exhibit, which they described
as a mock-up of a child’s bedroom. Organizers purchased common items, like a water bottle, to show how drugs might be hidden in innocuous appearing objects. Parents will be able to walk around the exhibit, pick up different objects and open them up, she said. “It’s a tool to teach parents what to be aware of,” Esposito said.
SUDOKU
Experts with Western Connecticut Coalition, the state Department of Mental Health and Addiction Ser-
vices, Wheeler Clinic, as well as Cheshire police officers and others will be on hand to answer questions and provide training on administering narcan, the medication used to reverse overdoses. “We are bringing together a lot of resources and material, including where you can go to get the help you need,” Esposito said. Linehan said she is hoping to empower parents. At the same time, she would also like to discourage medical care providers from over-

prescribing painkillers. “What we need to do is make sure that parents are aware of the dangers [posed by] prescription medication even though they are prescribed by a doctor,” she said. Esposito plans to present the most up-to-date data on opioid-related deaths in Cheshire over the past few years, adding there have been at least 11 non-fatal overdoses within that time span. According to data compiled by the state Office of the Chief Medical Examiner, four Cheshire residents died from opioids in 2018. Esposito said the data shows victims are getting younger. The number of female overdose victims is also increasing. She encouraged families to use drug take-back events to reduce access to opioid medications. Residents can

A 30 year-old gas station clerk who police charged with selling vape cartridges containing marijuana to teens was scheduled to appear in Meriden Superior Court last week.
Police arrested Ayad A. Nahshal, 30, of Woodridge Drive, on Aug. 21, and charged him with two counts of illegally selling of a controlled substance.
Cheshire Gulf Gas Station, at 197 Main St., was the target of two controlled purchases of dab cartridges, which contained marijuana-derived oils, which are smoked with vape pens.
Police said on Aug. 2 and 8, Nahshal, who had been Police detectives began the working as a sales clerk at the

investigation after receiving complaints from town residents that a clerk was selling the marijuana cartridges to teens. Police described “dab” as a “yellowish/brown sticky cannabis-derived substance commonly referred to as ‘butane honey oil.’” A “dab”, according to police, is typically highly concentrated with THC — the chemical compound found in marijuana. It is smoked using a vape pen. Police allege that on both occasions Nashal handed the dab cartridges to an informant working with police in exchange for cash. Nahshal was released on $60 cash bond. mgagne@record-journal.com 203-317-2231 Twitter:@MikeGagneRJ

HERE ARE THIS WEEK’S MALE & FEMALE NOMINEES .
SEAN BELL
GRACE CHAPPELL
Defense was the calling card of the Platt football team’s run to the Class L semifinals and, after Friday night’s 34-0 shutout of RHAM in the season opener, don’t be surprised if defense is the calling card again in 2019. One of the big playmakers in Game 1 was junior safety Sean Bell. In the second quarter, with the Panthers leading by only 7-0 at that point, Bell corralled a pass deflected by linebacker Danny Hernandez and hightailed it 80 yards for a touchdown.
Lyman Hall’s Grace Chappell saw some time on varsity last year, but was mostly a JV field hockey player. She was a good one, scoring 12 goals. With that production, Chappel has moved up to varsity full time this fall as a junior and big things are expected of her, says coach Stephanie Lavado Berghorn. So far, so good. Chappel scored 2:23 into the game and later notched a second goal in the Trojans’ 3-0 season-opening win over North Haven.
BRENDAN MELLITT
VICTORIA LOGODICIO
We nominate Cheshire senior Brendan Mellitt in Week 1 knowing full well we could be commiting the cardinal sin of distance running. Namely, going too fast off the line. We’ll take the chance. We just can’t let a record-setting run pass us by. Mellitt, the Record-Journal’s reigning Runner of the Year, clocked a 16:32 in last Tuesday’s season-opening quad meet to lower the 3.1-mile course standard at Cheshire Park. Expect Mellitt to continue dropping that time this fall.
From east to west, there has been victory with Victoria Logodicio for the Wilcox Tech volleyball team here in the early going. The junior setter had a big hand in the Tribe’s matching 3-0 sweeps to open the season, first at Norwich Tech and then at Abbott Tech in Danbury. Logodicio planted five aces in Thursday’s season-opening win over Norwich Tech, then came back with nine assists and three more aces in Monday’s triumph over Abbott Tech.
KAMRON MORENO
EMMA WATKINSON
The 54-13 final indicates Maloney had no trouble with Farmington in its football opener. Truth is, Farmington scored the first touchdown and, in the second quarter, stayed within range with a kickoff return. Spartans senior Kamron Moreno had an answer each time. He turned a screen pass from Angel Arce into a 58-yard TD to pull Maloney even 7-7 in the first quarter, then answered the KO return with a 90-yarder of his own. Moreno caught 8 passes for 101 yards.
Three-sport athletes aren’t necessarily a rare breed, but they do blaze unique trails. Cheshire senior Emma Watkinson, with the nod here in Week 1, is the first athlete to be nominated in two consecutive R-J Athlete of the Week contests, albeit over two seasons. She got the nod in the final week of softball season and here again to start volleyball season. The setter dished 21 assists to lead the Rams to their 3-0 opening win Monday over Sheehan.

Murphy From A1
“Each of my races went very well, better than expected, starting with the 200 free,” Murphy said. “I really like that event even though it’s more distance than I’m used to in the championship season. It’s a great event.” Murphy also noted that she was pushed in the 200, as well as in the 100, by teammates. “Another junior, Ava Breton, was great motivation for me in that [200]. We both wanted to start the season strong. Coming into the 100, I had a freshman, Avery Potyrala, with me and she did very well.” Heading into that 100 freestyle, Cheshire and Glastonbury were tied 3939. That’s when Cheshire flexed its muscles and won each of the last six events, starting with Murphy’s conquest in the 100 free in 53.05. A red rip tide was unleashed. Senior All-American Julia Stevens won the 500 free (5:09.18), Jillian Stevens the 100 backstroke (1:01.16) and Emma Glover the 100 breaststroke (1:10.66). Mixed in were the two freestyle relays. Murphy teamed with Lavana Gulati, Avery Potyrala and Julianna Tyler on the 200 (1:42.58) and with Ali Tyler, Sarah Chen and Gabriella Tejeda on the 400 (3:45.94).

The skies threatened all morning and opened up after 1 p.m. Despite the rain, people put up their umbrellas, took refuge in tents, and most tellingly, kept streaming in from the parking lot across the street at Cheshire High School.

Rob Oris, the Town Council chairman and mayor, is running for re-election and spent a bit of the festival chatting with constituents. He likes the festival better on non-election years, where he can just wander around and have a good time, he said. “There’s not a lot of pressure. There’s always good food, good music,” he said. Oris believes that Cheshire is a community-minded town, thus making events like a festival a natural magnet for residents. “It’s an opportunity to get out and mingle with your friends in the community,” Oris said. For the town Parks and Recreation department, the festival is a chance to take the temperature of the community about potential upgrades at Chapman Park and other parks in town. Some of the ideas presented at the festival to parks and rec staff were concession stands, cameras, a concert stage, and frisbee golf, among others. “We want to let everyone Since 1867 know that we are To looking for We Are Proud Be Your Local their feedback,” said Tim News and Advertising Source

Weed, program coordinator at Parks and Rec. “We want to know what people want. I’m excited to see what they want to do.” That’s the serious stuff. The silly stuff was planned for later in the afternoon, with a hot dog eating contest. Cheshire resident Harold Orlinsky likes his chances this year. Last year, an outof-town ringer ate a dozen Blackie’s hot dogs with mustard and relish in 10 minutes. Harold came in third, knocking down seven.
Orlinsky said that normal people get about six down before you get full. “They put on all this relish and stuff. It’s heavy and spicy,” he said. It’s all in good fun.
When asked why the festival was an important piece of life in Cheshire, Orlinsky looked around. He gestured to his neighbor’s booth across the way, and people he does business with. He knows people everywhere he goes. Orlinsky’s sentiment is a common one at the festi“My wife refuses to come be- val. cause she says I make a fool of myself,” Orlinsky said with “I can walk around and I know a lot of people,” Orlina laugh. sky said. “It’s such a nice He’s got an advantage this community.” year.
