State board: baseball, softball fields unequal By Jesse Buchanan Record-Journal staff
A state civil rights compliance inspection at the high school last year turned up several violations, including unequal baseball and
softball facilities, but district officials say they are not sure what they need to do to bring the fields into compliance. Schools Superintendent Tim Connellan has been in communication with state Board of Education officials about the compliance issues. He
was not immediately available for comment. Board of Education Chairman Brian Goralski said he has questions about how the district would comply with regulations. While some would be addressed in the normal oper-
ations of the school, Goralski said other guidelines were “overreaching.” Goralski said the dugouts and lights at the baseball fields were paid for with money raised by booster clubs.
for the state to require the school to pay for similar amenities on the softball field. “Even things that come as a gift come with consequences,” he said.

Health district updates Lyme disease risk By Ashley Kus Citizen staff
As the summer months progress, ticks become a greater risk to residents. “We are outside more now,” said Shane Lockwood, Plainville-Southington health director. “The more time spent outside, the increase of exposure.” The Plainville-Southington Health District is warning residents to conduct daily tick checks to prevent Lyme disease. “The biggest thing is that five minute check,” Lockwood said.

Cars 4 Paws classic auto show held By Scott Hayes Special to the Record-Journal
The second annual Cars 4 Paws classic auto show brought together car enthusiasts and animal lovers Sunday, July 10, at the Southington Drive-In, drawing
about 70 display vehicles to benefit the local Best Friends for Life Animal Rescue. While the event didn’t match last year’s inaugural draw of 88 cars, Friends for Life co-founder Tony Bagiore, of Southington, was ap-
preciative of the support. “Every event is worthwhile if it helps the animals,” Bagiore said. A selection of adoption dogs were brought on site for See Cars, A18
He says that residents should check their clothing for ticks after being outside, even for a short time. Lyme disease happens most commonly from the nymphal stage of the deer tick, which health officials say is about the size of a pinhead. Symptoms of the disease range from rashes to flu-like fevers, chills, and headaches. Peak tick season is from April to September, but Lockwood says they can be around during any season. “Ticks need a blood meal and become engorged which is needed to transmit Lyme disease,” he said.

Work progresses on former factory distillery By Jesse Buchanan Record-Journal staff
Work is evident at a former West Street factory slated to become a whiskey and bourbon distillery. Crews have repointed the factory’s brick walls, patched or replaced the roof and installed new windows.
The work rehabbing an old building as well as getting federal liquor approval can be challenging, Perillo said. “That permitting process can take eight months to a year,” he said. Specialty distilling equipment also has to be ordered and installed.

Local bridges scheduled to be re-examined Tuesday through a Freedom of Information request — to consultants requesting lists of projects that included Ahmad.
By Mike Savino Record-Journal staff
Six area bridges are among 35 statewide scheduled to be re-examined by the state Department of Transportation after the inspecting engineer was arrested in New York, in May, on allegations that he falsified a report for a bridge in New York. Locally, the DOT will reinspect bridges carrying Interstate 691 in both the eastbound and westbound directions over Spoon Shop Brook in Meriden. A bridge over Ten Mile River on Route 322 in Southington will also be inspected again, as will a bridge carrying Route 72 over Cronk Road in Plainville. In Berlin, a bridge carrying Christian Lane over Route 9 will be reinspected, as will a Route 9 bridge spanning a private road. The list of 35 bridges were inspected by Akram Ahmad, of

Nursick said Ahmad worked “in one way, shape, or form” on an estimated 600 bridges, but some 400 of those simply involved identifying “bridgelike structures” to help municipal leaders catalogue structures in their towns. Nursick said the DOT helped towns identify structures that don’t meet the common definition of a bridge, including roadway structures over large pipes or stone arches, and Ahmad would not have inspected any of them.
The Route 322 bridge, built in 1989 over the Ten Mile River in Southington, will be reexamined. | Dave Zajac, Record-Journal Ahmad also did a prelimi-

Ahmed worked with a handful of contractors as team leader of 35 inspections, including 13 with TranSystems of Meriden.

“The exposure associated with these 35 structures is virtually infinitesimal, but in the business of bridge safety we don’t operate within the realm of probabilities, we work with certainties,” Nursick said in a statement released on Tuesday. “Accordingly, to gain the certainty that we desire, we are re-inspecting all 35 bridges.”

Investor buys bank building, 550 jobs to move to Southington Commercial real estate investor and landlord Joseph Moruzzi recently paid $750,000 for the Webster Bank building on West Johnson Avenue as the bank prepares to move to another building owned by Moruzzi in Southington. About 550 Webster employees from the support offices at 609 W. Johnson Ave. and at 700 Northrop Road in Wallingford will move to 200 Executive Boulevard in Southington, also owned by Moruzzi. Doing business as Commercial Investment Group, Moruzzi bought 200 Executive Boulevard on West Street for $2.5 million in 2014. It was one of three buildings on Executive Boulevard formerly occupied by The Hartford insurance company. The bank will lease two full floors, totaling 85,000 square feet of space or 85 percent of the Southington building. The bank hopes to move its employees in by Jan. 1, 2017. Webster has been in the Cheshire location for 22 years and its Wallingford location for 16. Other tenants in the fourstory Southington building include the Alzheimer’s Association, Lisa Inc. Agency
TPC RIVER HIGHLANDS | CROMWELL, CT
AUGUST 1-7
Moruzzi won town approval for two pad sites to house a restaurant and a bank on the property, said Southington Economic Development Coordinator Lou Perillo. “We’re real pleased,” Perillo said. “We’re anticipating a greater number of employees there than when it was The Hartford. It will create a higher demand for restaurant and retail and increase traffic count, which will create greater interest in the West Street corridor.” The Cheshire building is appraised at $5 million when fully occupied. “It’s now available for lease,” Moruzzi said. “It will probably take five years to rent it out.” Moruzzi also recently bought a 22,000 square-foot shopping plaza at 600 N. Colony Road (Route 5) for $2.1 million. The Tower Square Plaza is home to Brew and Steak Kings, Panda Garden, and Enterprise Rent-A-Car. Only 6,000 square feet is available for lease.

Find a solution to rising home energy costs By Enoch Lenge
With summer underway, many of us are trying to wrap up home improvement projects so that we can kick back and relax when we have time off. However, as you are finishing up these projects, don’t forget about making sure that the cool air you’ll be paying for this summer stays in your home. We all know that air can escape under a door and through leaky windows. But did you know that it can also leak through less obvious places like ductwork, outlets, attic entrances, recessed lights and moldings? Beyond driving up energy costs, air leaks can affect your home’s durability, comfort and overall indoor environment.

HES is an easy process that will not only help you save energy and money longterm, but will help your community be greener and also stay warmer this
winter.

Eversource is currently working with the town to help it reach CEC program goals and reduce municipal building energy consumption by 20 percent by 2018. As Southington is a Clean Energy Community, all
homeowners and renters that participate in HES can help the town earn a grant, ranging from $5,000 to $15,000. These “Bright Idea Grants” can be used on a community-selected energy saving project, like the installation of an electric car charging station at town hall or new LED lighting for a school.

The power of sports diplomacy is needed now By Ken Lipshez Record-Journal staff
I think most of my contemporaries will agree that race relations in America improved exponentially during our lifetime. Our cultural history, of course, shows acrimonious accounts pitted by abduction, slavery with all of its malevolence that included beatings, rapes and lynchings and the inane notion that people should be judged first and foremost by the color of their skin. I believe that sports played a major role in diminishing that tragic chapter in American sociology. With a powerful assortment of peace-loving visionaries on both sides leading the way, slam dunks, wall-banging doubles and acrobatic touchdowns became more important than the color of the people who were making them happen. The NBA, for example, departed from an unwritten rule
that apparently established a quota for how many black players were permitted to populate a roster. Did you know that the anniversary for the debut of the Red Sox’ first black player for the Red Sox— infielder Pumpsie Green — comes next week? The event came more than 12 years after Jackie Robinson courageously broke down the barrier. (If you haven’t seen the biopics “42” about Jackie’s bravery or “Race,” featuring the tribulations of track great Jesse Owens, what are you waiting for?) The Sox were the last team to integrate, a concept that became unthinkable before the next decade elapsed and alltime greats like Willie Mays, Hank Aaron, Frank Robinson, Ernie Banks, Willie McCovey, Bob Gibson were entertaining young lads like me who gave little thought to what color they were. Those were wonderful days. I idolized Frank Robinson of the Reds and NBA Hall of Famer Oscar Robertson of
the Cincinnati Royals, and dozens of Eastern Basketball League (New Haven Elms, Hartford Capitols) players banished to the minors because of the NBA’s apparent quota system.
Rouge, La., preceding the Thursday night developments in Dallas were innocent. Who’s right? Who’s wrong?
Now, all these years later, come the deaths of young black men at the hands of white police offers and subsequently the revenge-filled massacre in Dallas. It’s all terrible, of course, but what terrifies me more is that we may have expunged 50 years of gradual but noticeable improvement and gone back to the hate-filled transgressions of the Jim Crow past. Tweets are flying around on both sides. Troy Aikman tweeted a vote of confidence for the police, which was promptly construed negatively by those who ally with Black Lives Matter and similar movements. Numerous black athletes came out stating unequivocally that the men that police killed outside St. Paul, Minn., and in Baton
I watched videos of the string of young black men dying at the hands of white policemen over the last year and I can’t possibly know whether the victims’ actions coerced good policemen to rely on their training and instinct or set off trigger-happy police harboring deep-seated racial bias. I thought back to what extent prejudice may have tilted my perception through my life and times. I grew up in the southernmost section of Hamden near a neutral zone strip of woodlands that separated our middle class white suburban neighborhood from the “projects” teeming on the other side of the woods in New Haven. There were many instances of poor black kids from Brookside and Rockview stealing our bicycles. Halloween conjured our big-
gest fears. We always went trick-or-treating in packs because the chilling stories we heard about singles or pairs of neighborhood kids having their sweet booty taken at knife-point. Yes, prejudice developed, but as my life moved forward and the three major sports moved in as my favorite pastimes, my sensitivity changed. I saw fear and loathing evaporating around me as the mid-1960s turned my focus toward social upheaval prompted by the anti-war reaction to the debacle in Southeast Asia and subsequently the independence of college life 650 miles from home in Athens, Ohio, in the early ’70s. So what can we as individuals do to reduce the tension? We can’t have every inner-city policeman summoned to investigate a disturbance pressing more tightly on the trigger. We can’t have angry black people reacting to the See Diplomacy, A26

The guide also offers resources including related nooks and websites.

Drivers needed The American Cancer Society’s Road to Recovery program is looking for volunteer
drivers throughout Connecticut to transport cancer patients to and from their treatments. Many patients need daily or weekly treatment, often over the course of several months, and may be too tired or weak to drive themselves. Some treatments will not allow cancer patients to operate machinery, including a motor vehicle. Other patients do not have family members they can rely on for support or their family may simply not be able to take time away from work. Volunteers should be available once a month or once a week, be between the ages of 18 and 85, have a valid driver’s license and reliable vehicle with insurance. For more information, call the American Cancer Society at 1-800-227-2345.

attendees to view, and Bagiore said one couple traveled from Cape Cod, Mass., to see the dogs and take in the car show. Brass City Cruisers, a car club out of Waterbury, conducted the classic car show that drew vintage vehicles from six decades. The event had been rained out on an earlier scheduled date in June, and organizer Peggy Taggett thought the threat of rain Sunday morning might have affected the turnout. The Southington car show to benefit Friends for Life came about when Taggett, an accountant from Naugatuck, won a raffle prize at an area car show from Bagiore’s oil business. Taggett, who owns Connecticut Accounting, offered her services and was familiar with the Brass City Cruisers car club. The three groups worked together to organize the first event a year ago and found the drive-in grounds favorable for a car show.

Cars 4 Paws didn’t dodge the rain completely in its second attempt. With the voting for awards nearly completed and an hour left, a sudden downpour sent car owners scurrying to roll up windows and close convertible tops, and spectators to seek shelter under the drive-in’s pavilion, where many enjoyed music from the ‘50s and ‘60s played by a DJ. The music matched the age of many of the cars — 1956 Chevrolets, a 1962 Chevrolet Nova and Ford Mustangs from the sixties.

Letters to the Editor Give residents a choice To the editor: We are responding to the recent article in The Southington Citizen regarding Smart Power, a non-profit marketing firm promoting the Solar CT program, funded by the Connecticut Green Bank. This non-profit organization is seeking an agreement with Southington to “encourage” citizens to purchase or lease solar energy from one specific vendor for residential purposes. We totally disagree with a government funded, non-profit agency seeking an agreement with a town to promote one vendor for anything. Even if it is made known that residents can choose another company, it still appears as a monopoly, and under more government control. We agree with Dawn Miceli, who stated that making a decision for 43,000 residents was a huge responsibility, and there are no assurances of the viability of any one particular company. Residents should be free to choose whatever company they research to be the best value for their home. What happened to the free market system? There are solar companies available where a purchase or even a lease is not required. Why would one want to purchase an expensive system, or lease when a PPA (Purchase Power Agreement) provides a 20-25 year service at no cost to the customer? Solarize CT promotes one company and their own installers while saying that only they and their chosen company can provide cost savings and other benefits.

Ninth annual Wayton Open Probate kicks off with biggest field yet program with Judge Jaloswiec By Michael Hewitt Special to the Record-Journal
SOUTHINGTON — Friday evening, July 8, marked day one of a 10-day tourney for the 9th annual Wayton Open at Southington High School.
“Talking Probate,” a program with Probate Judge Matt Jalowiec, is scheduled for the last Friday of each month at the Southington Public Library, where residents may pose inquiries regarding the law and discuss relevant legal topics with the judge.
This year’s turnout shattered last year’s total with 240 players playing. Matt Wayton, the tournament director enjoys expanding, but was surprised with the increase in players. “I am surprised, honestly,” he said. “We did not get a lot of regulars. A lot of people in this year’s tournament are from other towns. I don’t know many of them. But, there will never a cap with this tournament. If we have 10,000 people, I’d be fine with that.”

“Five-hundred dollars for a boy and girl at Southington High is reason enough to participate,” he said. “Giving back is really the whole purpose of the tournament.”

While Friday evening, July 8,
went smoothly, the forecast is not friendly for the weekend, something Wayton tries to not think about. “We can’t control it,” he said. “The worst scenario is if it rains during the first two days because that’s when every single person plays. But, we’ll reschedule during the week, if the weather is bad. But, last year was the first year rain did not impact the tournament, so it would be nice if that became a trend.” See Wayton, A26
These sessions allow residents, who might otherwise feel intimidated to ask questions in larger settings, the opportunity to obtain answers in a relaxed setting. Last year Judge Jalowiec started the pilot program holding monthly question and answer sessions at the Cheshire Senior Center. The gatherings provided residents up close and personal time to ask questions about the probate process and the law they otherwise may not have been able to. “Talking Probate” is held Fridays, 10 a.m., at the Southington Public Library, 255 Main St. Topics generally include wills, trusts, estates, guardianship, conservatorship, grandparents rights, child custody, living wills, powers of attorney, Title 19/Medicaid and long term nursing care, as well as many other issues.

Scafariello leads charge for Bristol Blues By Joe Boyle Special to the Record-Journal
spring at San Jacinto Junior College after deciding that the University of Connecticut wasn’t the best fit for him. At San Jacinto, Scafariello blasted a team-leading 11 homers. In 50 games, Scafariello batted .320 with 33 RBI and six stolen bases. It looks as though the decision to spend the season in Texas worked out for him.
BRISTOL — Just seven players on this year’s Bristol Blues roster returned from the inaugural 2015 season when they won a West Division championship and finished second in the Futures Collegiate Baseball League. The heavy hitter among those seven is from Southington. Liam Scafariello has proven this season that he can lead from the dish with his bat. “It feels amazing to be back,” Scafariello said. “I love Bristol and being so close to home makes it that much better.” “He contacted us and asked if we would be interested in having him back,” Blues general manager Rick Muntean said. “When I looked at his stats from junior college, which were pretty good, and a guy that can run like that, it makes for an easy decision.” So far this summer, Scafariello has batted .250 with two home runs, a double and triple, and five RBI. He has also

racked up five steals. A much more mature and level-headed Scafariello was posted up outside the Blues clubhouse at Muzzy Field before the Blues took on the Worcester Bravehearts in their doubleheader on the Fourth of July. His demeanor was that of a player who was much more seasoned compared to where he was last year when he was fresh off of being drafted by the Atlanta Braves in the 38th round. “It’s cool to be recognized for
the work I have put in so far but it really is just a cool accolade at this point,” Scafariello said about being drafted out of high school. “I see a guy who has a lot more confidence than he had last year,” Muntean said. “A high school kid coming here last season, he had to play in front of some big crowds. It overwhelmed him. Now he’s not trying to do too much and having fun.” Scafariello’s freshman season was spent in Texas this
Scafariello said. “Last year I didn’t have much of an approach. My year at school definitely allowed me to take an approach and stick with it.”
On the defensive side, Scafariello has moved between right field and first base. According to coach Pat Riley, he has shown flashes of excellence in both positions, “Being 1,800 miles away from but has not done enough yet home makes you mature to gain a regular spot. Scareally fast and I think that’s fariello’s arm strength makes what had a lot to do with my him a prime candidate for improvement as a player,” right field.

Southington’s Mikosz takes a liking to the mound By Ken Lipshez Record-Journal staff

He only pitched in High in most of the primary two games (3 innings) for the offensive measuring sticks Blue Knights this past sea— a .384 batting average, 19 son, gave up just one hit and RBI, 28 hits, 11 extra-base struck out five but walked hits, .435 slugging percenttwo.

“I’ve been more focused on being a pitcher rather than a shortstop,” Mikosz said. “More college coaches Mikosz are telling me I have more potential in being a pitcher so I started to change over.” He’s been spending more time trying to build arm speed and doing drills more centralized toward pitching. He’s worked on his balance, which is vital in maintaining the kind of mechanics to improve his control. Spotting his fastball and a curveball are priorities.
“Hitters sit on the fastball once they’ve seen it a couple times in a row,” said Mikosz, also a key player on coach John Cessario’s Blue Knights’ basketball team. “I’m working on a change-up but I have to work on spotting it up better. I like the circle change because it feels comfortable.” Meriden scout Ed DiPersio, who helps place scholastic baseball players with college programs in which he feels they’ll prosper, said, “He’s up at the ceiling as far as his pitching potential. He’s a really good hitter and he could be a first baseman or third baseman in college, but he’s much more suited to be a pitcher if he’s going to play at the Division I level.”
Mikosz figures to be a mound leader for Lembo next year while logging time at shortstop between starts. He’s trying to add weight to help him increase his velocity. “I want to get the most velocity I can so I’m trying to get stronger. It obviously helps but spotting the pitches is more important because I don’t want to be wild,” he said. Mikosz has also picked up pointers from former Cheshire High pitcher Kevin Jefferis through his AAU team, the Hamden Yard Dogs. Jefferis is now pitching professionally with the independent Gateway Grizzlies of the Frontier League.

angry hum on the streets by plotting revenge on innocent policemen. Let’s understand that the huge majority of our police forces are dedicated, hard-working people with families providing a service that most of us wouldn’t want the responsibility of doing. Consequently, the huge majority of black people aren’t gathering up weapons and planning shooting sprees. Yet I sense that what we have here is a racial powder keg that could make the summer of 2016 the worst since 1968. I can tell you about two local sports coaches who are doing their part to offset the possibility of mayhem in Meriden. On the east side, we have white Maloney football coach Kevin Frederick and his racially diverse staff adjusting their curriculum at summer camp to include understanding and respect for one another among the topics he offers for becoming stronger physically and better football players. On the west side, we have black Platt boys basketball coach Shawon Moncrief and his staff doing much of the same. I hope both affordably priced camps are filled to capacity with youngsters who will look up to these two awesome community leaders suddenly faced with the added burden of trying to quickly analyze and perhaps diffuse the effects of these tragic current events. We need others in the community to rally around these coaches and others like them, because the power of sports diplomacy has broken down these barriers before. Let them show you that on the local scene, they can help that happen again.
