Fun for allCitizen photo by Joy VanderLek

Cheshire Fire Department Lt. Dan Ford showsPatrick Kenney how to use a water hose during therecent Special Needs Awareness Day. Families weretreated to interactive tours of the fire departmentand Cheshire Police Department, where the chil-dren received photo IDs, met with officers, andchecked out police cars, motorcycles, ATVs and anambulance.

ConcernsContinued from page 1

on the street that will be im-pacted, they said.

“The 18-wheelers are al-ready coming through andthe road is too narrow forthem,” said Kim Clark,whose home is directlyacross from the proposeddriveway. “We have safetyconcerns. There are no side-walks and the (school) busstop is on that corner.”

Clark and other residentssaid the impact of the heavytrucks on “the alreadycracked road” will make con-ditions worse, adding thatnoise, vibration and dieselexhaust would negatively im-pact the area and decreaseproperty values.

“We get diesel smell, beep-ing and backing-up sounds.You can sit in my house andfeel the vibrations of thetrucks now,” said HollySmith, of Southington, whois part owner of a house nextto the company. “You can’ttell me that additional trucktraffic coming through isn’tgoing to affect us.”

“I’m there during the dayand I hear them going all dayand all night,” said NormanLeClerc. “Dalton is a goodcompany, but they’ve out-grown the area. Sometimesthere are trucks parked at 2a.m. along that side road,idling all night. It’s totallygotten out of hand.”

David Parson, an engineerdesigning the project for thecompany, said the number oftrucks being used will not beincreasing. Instead, truckswill be making more runsand the extra driveway isneeded to expedite move-ment.

“What we are really tryingto do here is at the expense ofWillow Street. Unfortunately,this is an industrial-zonedarea,” he said. “We’ve beendealing with this for a longtime and obviously this

wasn’t our first choice.” Dalton had tried to get per-

mission from the state De-partment of Transportationto use a more direct route tothe major thoroughfares, butthat was shot down, Parsonsaid. The other alternativewould have meant crossingthe Linear Trail, a recre-ational path under construc-tion.

“We appreciate all the con-cerns of the people living onWillow Street,” he said. “Thisoption is the least of three po-tential evils.” The publichearing was continued untilthe June 24 PZC meeting, tobe held in the Council Cham-bers at Town Hall.

The Bozzuto’s Inc. propos-al for special zoning to allowthe company to build a 100-foot tall storage facility like-wise drew ire from area resi-dents and negative feedbackfrom commissioners. Bozzu-to’s is a wholesale grocerydistributor.

If approved, the ware-house would be the tallestbuilding in Cheshire. Itwould be primarily automat-ed and people would not be al-lowed above the 65 foot level,due to fire department regu-lations, according to attorneyAnthony Fazzone, represent-ing the company.

While no site has yet beenchosen for the structure,Gary Overton, of Milone &MacBroom, used the 400 In-dustrial Ave. site, which isbordered by Highland andPeck avenues, as an exampleto show that the buildingwould be relatively unobtru-sive, especially with land-scaping.

“This would be setting agreat precedent for the townof Cheshire. It’s exceptional-ly high and I don’t think itsets a good tone for the townof Cheshire,” said Republi-can PZC member WoodyDawson, who passed commis-sioners’ copies of the samplesite-line views to the audi-ence. “I’ve seen a lot of things

happen in Cheshire; I neverthought it’d come to this.Cheshire was a nice town.”

Commissioners mentionedseveral times that because itwas a special zone change pe-tition, they had much morediscretion in decidingwhether to approve it.

“We should avoiding intro-ducing monoliths intoCheshire,” said John Jauch-ler in a letter to commission-ers. “One-hundred-foot tallwarehouses would negative-ly affect the town.”

Ray Ilnick Jr. gave commis-sioners a petition against theproject signed by 34 resi-dents.

“I just want to reiteratethat we live in a very prob-lematic area. We hear thenoises of trucks and suchevery night in our bedroom,”he said. “And without leaveson those trees, you’re going tobe able to see those buildings.I don’t think the town wouldset a good example withthis.”

Ken Wilson said that as abusinessman he understandsthe need for growth.

“I’m not afraid of change.New systems have to be al-lowed. If it takes a 100-footbuilding with racks, it’smuch better than smoke-stacks or chemicals,” he said.“But I don’t believe thatsomeone won’t be up there tofix the roof or other things,and if there’s a fire or some-thing ...”

Fred Adkins received around of applause from theaudience when he said hethought the project wouldmean the decline of the town.

“We’re killing the smalltown. We’re killingCheshire,” he said. “Peoplecoming in from the northernentrance used to think thiswas a nice New England vil-lage.”

The public hearing for Boz-zuto’s also was continued un-til June 24.

The Cheshire Chamber of Commerce has scheduled acarnival for Thursday, June 20, from 6 to 10 p.m.; Friday,June 21, and Saturday, June 22, from 2 to 10 p.m., atBartlem Park.

The carnival features rides, games, and food. Dis-counted wristbands are available at the chamber office,195 South Main St.

“The last couple of years,in particular, have been verydifficult,” owner Dave Floodsaid as he sidestepped cus-tomers carrying everythingfrom large shelves to intri-cate sculptures. “We can’tcontinue to keep the store op-erating. It was extremely dif-ficult this last month makingthe decision, but we’ve essen-tially drained our own re-sources to keep going.”

The property and barnlikebuildings are also on the mar-ket, but the sculpture studioand sculpture business willremain and continue throughthe store’s website.

The home shop, galleryand gift shop have been a fix-ture at the South Main Streetlocation for about 50 years, a

place where generations ofcustomers have shopped foreverything from baby clothesand toys, to seasonal decora-tions and gifts, to home fur-nishings and the well-knownsculptures, which are soldthroughout the country.

“I definitely think peopleare spending less on these

kinds of unique items, fromthe unusual to the whimsi-cal,” Flood said. “Anotherhuge problem is Internetbuying, like Amazon andeBay. Even our own websitetakes business away from thestore.”

The seven store employeeswill be laid off when the

store sells out, which Floodestimates will be sometimein August. He added that he’dtry to find some spots in thesculpture studio for them.

Next to the handmadesculptures, the biggest sell-ers are the Vera Bradleyquilted-style bags, whichcome in all sizes from pocket-book, to laptop carrier, topurses and luggage.

“My daughter and I are tak-ing a trip and we’ve been talk-ing about getting these VeraBradley bags. Now, at theseprices, we can get them,” saidAngie Barnett, of Hamden,who was sitting on the floor ofthe store, examining the purs-es. “It’s sad, though, becauseplaces like this are being tak-en away by HomeGoods andthe Internet.”

With holiday items set at50 percent off and the rest ofthe store’s stock at 30 percentoff, including sculptures,business was brisk Wednes-day. People filled the parkingspots quickly and even re-sorted to parking on thegrass.

“I’ve been coming here for

many years,” said JudyCollins, of Cheshire, whowas filling her shopping bas-ket with her sister, PeggyBaker, also of Cheshire. “It’stoo bad the high-end gift mar-ket is going away. It’s becauseof the economy; people needmore practical gifts.”

Baker said she was keep-ing her eyes on the seasonalmerchandise.

“I’m starting my Christ-mas shopping right now,” shesaid, looking at the Buyer’sChoice carolers. “I kind offeel sad because they’ve beenhere forever. I’ve shopped atthis store for so many years.I’ll have to go online now, Iguess.”

The gallery will be the sec-ond high-end gift shop toshutter operations inCheshire in the last fewmonths. The Pink Petuniaclosed earlier this year.

“If there’s one good thing Iwant to come out of this, isthat it’s a celebration of 50years of business in the com-munity,” Flood said. “Theplace has been filled with somuch spirit.”

Cheshire Police Union, town near new contract

By Eve Britton The Cheshire Citizen

The Cheshire PoliceUnion and the town havereached an agreement oneverything in their contractexcept the pension plan,which will go to arbitration.

“I think it was a mutuallybeneficial decision,” saidcouncil Chairman TimSlocum. “All of the increas-es, including pay rates, willgo into effect immediately.The only issues left are thepension plans.”

The signing of the memo-randum of understandingbetween the town and theunion should happen in thenext day or two, Cheshirepersonnel director LouisZullo said Thursday.

The police officers havebeen working without a con-tract since July 1, 2012. Theagreement is retroactive tothat date, police and town of-ficials said.

“It authorizes the town tolet all other aspects of thecontract to take effect,” saidpolice spokesman JimFasano. “It allows officerswho were planning to, to re-tire.”

The council had struckdown the entire contractagreement in March thisyear, specifically because ofthe pension disagreement,though all other items in-cluding pay raises had beenaccepted.

The proposed change inthe pension plan closed theplan to new hires but in-creased the “multiplier” forretirees from 68 percent to 72percent. That means thatnew hires will not qualify forthe pension plan, but thoseretiring will leave with 72percent of their pay intact,as opposed to 68 percent inthe previous contract.

A new hire straight out ofthe academy makes $44,473

under the old contract. Alieutenant makes $75,519, ac-cording to Louis Zullo,Cheshire personnel director.Under the agreement just ap-proved by the CheshireTown Council, a new hirewill make $45,696 annually,and a lieutenant will start at$77,596.

In addition to pay raises,police and town councilorsagreed to reorganizations inshift schedules, changes incommand — from five lieu-tenants to three — and in-

creases in payments to med-ical plans.

Union members will seetheir paychecks increase assoon as this pay period, withtheir retroactive pay inchecks on June 28, Zullosaid.

A date for the arbitrationhearing has not been re-leased.

Memories of a LifetimeCaptured & Seen only on

/graduation

By Joy VanderLekThe Cheshire Citizen

The Cheshire Art League’sJune 5 demonstration at theCheshire Senior Center wasquite a treat for league mem-bers. The late afternoonevent featured award-win-ning artist Ed Hicks. TheGlastonbury painter arrivedwith a small canvas, a dropcloth and a case filled withpaints and brushes.

While he does not like toteach painting, informaldemonstrations like this oneare another thing entirely. Ashe sets to painting, he readilyshares tips and techniques heuses in his work, and tellsstories and jokes. “What’s thedifference between a 14-inchpizza and an artist?” heasked. The room rippled with

laughter as he gave the an-swer. “The pizza can feed afamily of four.”

About half of the artleague’s membership turnedout to see Hicks. “Our mem-bership is growing so fast,”said Dale Spaner, newly re-elected president of theleague. “We’re running out ofspace here.”

A former graphic artist,Hicks is a member and pastpresident of the GlastonburyArt Guild. He also is a formerboard member of the Con-necticut Watercolor Society.Hicks started in watercolorand dropped it in favor of oilpainting. He paints land-scapes and jokes that he“recreates landscapes onetree at a time.”

Hicks paints in a style rem-iniscent of the early Impres-

sionists, and credits Wyeth asan inspiration, too. He callshis technique “open-endedlandscapes” that allow aviewer to have “just enoughinformation to get a sense ofplace.”

“I feel that what is left outis as important as what is putinto a painting,” he said.

As for the paint, Hicks usesalkyd oil paint exclusively. Helikes oil paint because of its“buttery consistency,” andalkyd oil paint for its quickdrying properties. That’s es-pecially important to himwhen he’s doing large can-vasses, where he’ll use a reg-ular housepainter’s brush toquickly fill the oversizedbackgrounds. He keeps hispalette limited to about ahalf-dozen colors.

Hicks does not use sketch-es or photos in his work. In-stead, he recalls the feelingand mood of the place, and heuses his imagination to recre-ate locations he loves: Nan-tucket, Maine, and other ar-eas of New England. Heprefers painting in the stu-dio. “Not outdoors—there’sbugs and stuff,” he said.

Artist demonstrates his craft at senior center

Citizen photo by Joy VanderLek

Cheshire Art League members watched a paintingdemonstration June 5 at the Cheshire Senior Center.Award-winning landscape artist Ed Hicks gave tipsand shared techniques with the group on how to im-prove their work.

After an hour the artisthad completed a master-piece: a coastal landscape ofa solitary house, flagged onone side by dune grassesswaying in the breeze as thesun sets and the day comes to

an end, much like his demon-stration for the art league.

in the day, but they foundthemselves pushed out oftheir prime position andConfederates were gainingground, they had overwhelm-ing numbers, arriving fromall corners.”

The first shot of the daycame from Union Lt. Marcel-lus Jones, who with bor-rowed musket, shot at a fig-ure in the line of gray beforehim in the woods, however,he missed. Bartlett saidthere’s a monument to Jones,but it is on private propertywith no parking.

The first major casualty ofthe war occurs when UnionGen. John Reynolds, whoupon uttering the words,“For God’s sake, push for-ward,” is shot and killed. It’sstill unknown whether it wassniper fire, general fire fromConfederates or possiblyfriendly fire. His death, alongwith others, serves to add tothe confusion and disarray ofthe day.

An audience memberasked why Gen. Robert E. Leedidn’t have a say in what oc-curred. Barlett explained that

the southern general wasn’tthere. “It’s not until early af-ternoon before he arrives.”

Lee, the top general of theConfederate army, was not atGettysburg as the drama be-gan to unfold, but he was onhis way. His men had ordersnot to engage in battle, andwere told if there happenedto be a skirmish, they couldexpect little, if any, resist-ance.

“This battle should neverhave happened if everyonefollowed orders,” Bartlettsaid. “This is what is so in-triguing about Day One. Yourcommanding officers of thearmies aren’t really there.”

The loss of StonewallJackson to Lee’s offensivewas critical,” Bartlett said inresponse to a question. “HadJackson lived, the battlecould have been done in a day

or two. Gettysburg wouldhave changed the fortunes ofthe war.”

Bartlett talked about oneof the more unusual monu-ments on the battlefield. Oneis by Oak Ridge and Iverson’sPits. It’s the 11th Pennsylva-nia Infantry Regiment and adog is depicted at the foot ofthe monument.

“This was an actual dogthat fought,” Bartlett said.Her name was Sally and shehated Confederates. “Shewas quite fierce. She ends upbiting a Confederate soldierwho shoots her.” She doesn’tdie at this time. She is foundguarding the Union men,both dead and alive, after thebattle, licking their wounds.The dog doesn’t face the road,Bartlett said. “She is facingthe battlefield, still watchingover her men.”

Author and Civil War expert Matthew Bartlett atCheshire Public Library, June 6.

By Joy VanderLek The Cheshire Citizen

Matthew Bartlett, authorof four Civil War books, re-ceived a warm receptionfrom a full room of historyand Civil War buffs at theCheshire Public Library re-cently.

Bartlett, who will sooncomplete his fifth book on theCivil War, has a master’s de-gree in military history witha concentration in Civil Warstudies, from American Mili-tary University. He gave thefinal talk in the library’s150th Civil War Celebrationseries.

Bartlett’s wife, Jenn, whoworks at the library, was re-sponsible for securing fund-ing for a variety of programsto the Cheshire Public Li-brary in its comprehensiveCivil War series that beganlast November.

Matthew Bartlett wasasked to return for his pres-entation, “Gettysburg: TheForgotten Day.”

“I thought the first day wasa simple operation,” Bartlettsaid. “It was anything, but …”

That first day of battle, in-stead, was comprised of com-plex movements behind thescenes and featured a cast ofthousands, he said. “It couldhave been a Union win early

passes the processes of thenatural world, communica-tion skills are key. Much ofthe job involves evaluatingproposals and relating yourfindings and professionalopinion to a wide audience.

Technical skills are a ne-cessity, such as reading topo-graphic maps, and computerskills. More and more infor-mation is digital—mappingprograms, such as geograph-ic information systems, arebecoming valuable tools forresource management.

What education is need-ed?

A bachelor’s degree in anenvironmental field and anadvanced degree in planningor land use law would pro-vide the framework to under-stand and operate within thescope of the job.

What are you most sat-isfied or proud of accom-plishing in this job?

I most enjoy when planscome to fruition. This ismost evident with the man-agement of open space. Itstarts with questions: how to

gain access to the property,where the trail should be lo-cated, and what uses will bepermitted? Answering thesebasic questions takes timeand involves input from thepublic, town departmentsand commissions. It is al-ways gratifying when afterwhat may feel like a lengthyprocess, you can look at theresult of your work in some-thing as simple as a trail-head marker, because youknow how much work youput in to what seems likesuch a simple thing.

What are some of thethings you like best aboutthis job?

One of the things I enjoymost is introducing peopleto open space properties.The public hikes and publicinformation sessions havebeen well-attended, and it isencouraging to see howmany people are eager to ex-plore hiking opportunitiesin town.

What’s your least fa-vorite thing about the job?

Much of this job requireswriting reports and analyz-ing land use issues, whichkeeps me at my desk and I’mnot able to get outdoors as

much as I would like. What advice do you

have for young people in-terested in doing a job likeyours?

Learn as much as you canabout the basics of severaldisciplines, because eco-nomic, political, scientificand ethical issues are inte-gral in environmental plan-ning. Stay current on envi-ronmental issues andevents, it can help you betterunderstand what is going onthe community.

Get networked with otherenvironmental planners andprofessionals by joining or-ganizations like the Con-necticut Chapter of theAmerican Planning Associa-tion.

Aside from the education-al requirements of highereducation degrees, practicalexperience is vital. Becomeinvolved by volunteering orinterning with environmen-tal and land-use issues inyour community. That wayyou get to be part of theprocess and learn first-handall the facets involved withland use planning.

CCiittiizzeenn

By Kyle Swartz Special to The Citizen

A report that 1,967 Con-necticut students age sixand under were suspendedlast school year is shocking.Moreover, it indicates defi-ciencies within psychologi-cal services in some educa-tion districts.

Except under extremecircumstances, academicadministrators should notban children that youngfrom attending classes. Thetroubling finding happenedafter Connecticut Child Ad-vocate Jamey Bell becamecurious about a case inwhich one preschooler wasarrested in class. Wonder-ing if this punishment over-reach was common, she re-searched state statistics anddiscovered that 1,967 kids ofthat age had received sus-pensions last year, most ofthem black or Hispanic.

Excluding little childrenfrom classrooms “seems tome a non-educational, non-therapeutic response forthose who are way tooyoung to be culpable,” Bellopined in a CT Mirror story.She is correct. Kids of thatage have not yet cultivatedcognitive abilities neces-sary to understand their ac-tions or motives. They do

not necessarily act out onpurpose. Decision-makingfunctions remain in earlystages of development.

Therefore, suspending asix-year-old probably doesmuch more harm thangood. Studies suggest thatbad behavior at that agelikely stems from trauma.Kids in need of help, in needof positive role models atschool, instead receive dis-approval and academic os-tracism. If childhood trau-ma originates from home,then classroom banishmentcan be especially damaging.

Even if family is not thesource of suffering, sus-pending kindergarteners orpreschoolers can reinforceunhelpful mental habits. Ifadults label kids problemat-ic frequently enough, even-tually youths could come tobelieve it, and continue act-ing out as they grow. A re-cent Council of State Gov-ernment study argues logi-cally that students suspend-ed at least once are morelikely to repeat a grade orend up in the penal system.

Rather than risk trigger-ing downward cycles byneedlessly barring young-sters from classrooms, dis-tricts must provide betterpsychological assistance.This is the primary issue

here. As Meriden State Rep.Danté Bartolomeo persua-sively averred, some cash-strapped schools cannot af-ford therapists and coun-selors to properly help stu-dents with mental-health is-sues. Lacking suitable re-sources, academic leaderssimply suspend troubledyouths.

Which only worsens thedilemma, of course. Dis-tricts operating with insuf-ficient finances, particular-ly in urban zones, have tomake difficult decisions re-garding usage of limiteddollars. But if under-fund-ing psychological servicesmeans suspending studentstoo young to understandtheir misdeeds — kids whomay then mentally maturewith bad self-images — thenschools must find ways tohire additional therapistsand counselors. Otherwise,districts are teaching thesepotentially trauma-affectedstudents that personalstruggles are best left neg-lected — the opposite goal ofeducation.

Kicking kindergartners out of school is bad policy

Nick Giulietti, 21, works with a sparing partner in thecage at Ultimate MMA Training in North Haven May 9.Giulietti, who once competed alongside the CheshireHigh School wrestling team, prevailed June 8 at Mohe-gan Sun Arena in his first mixed martial arts fight.

Sean KrofssikSpecial to The Citizen

Nick Giulietti knows athing or two about being inthe spotlight and the pres-sure that comes along with it.

The Wallingford residentstepped into unfamiliar terri-tory - the mixed martial artscage - for the first time at Re-ality Fighting’s 10-bout MMAcard in front of thousands atthe Mohegan Sun ArenaJune 8.

Giulietti, 21, won in hisMMA debut over JeremiahSoto by unanimous decision.The contest went the fullthree rounds.

“I just used my wrestlingbackground, it was a big ad-vantage for me,” the 5-foot-9fighter said. “We touchedgloves and I took him down.Then it was ground andpound. Then he almost gotaway. I slammed him backdown. I felt I won the firstround.”

In the second round therewas more domination byGiulietti. “Within the first 10seconds I took him downagain,” Giulietti said. “Ibrought him to the cage and Iwas controlling him andwould occasionally postureup and land some punchesuntil the round ended.”

“I won the first two rounds,so in the third round I justcouldn’t get knocked out andI win this fight,” he added. “Ishot for a takedown andmissed but I pressured himagainst the cage. We ex-change knees. He tried toknock me out towards theend of the round with somekicks but I was able to backaway and hold on for thewin.”

Soto is a 5-foot-10 fighterfrom Manchester. He enteredhis showdown with Giuliettiwith a 1-0 record. Both fight-ers weighed 155 pounds.

Giulietti said he never hada bigger rush than walkingtoward the cage with thecrowd screaming.

“It was crazy,” he said.“When I was walking to-wards the cage with the mu-sic blasting I was really nerv-ous. I had a rush that I neverexperienced before. It wasawesome. I had a bunch offans there cheering me onand everyone was screaming.But once they closed the cageI was just in my zone.”

Giulietti consulted withhis trainers, Blair Tugmanand Andrew Calandrelli, theowner of Ultimate MMATraining Center in NorthHaven, in his corner betweenevery round.

Giulietti’s wrestlingprowess was too much forSoto to overcome.

In high school, Giulietticompeted with the Cheshireteam as a Sheehan HighSchool independent wrestlerfor four years. In his senioryear, Giulietti was an All-American. He went 32-0 andwon the State Open in the 140-pound class.

For the last two seasons, hehas wrestled on scholarshipfor Division II Anderson Uni-versity in South Carolina. Hewas 9-2 last fall and plans totransfer to Springfield’sAmerican International Col-lege.

As far as his MMA career,he hopes to fight again at thenext Reality Fighting cardsin November or January.

“I’m going to hit the gym(today) and start gettingready for my next fight,”Giulietti said.

The Cheshire Citizen — Thursday, June 20, 2013 20

By Bryant CarpenterSpecial to The Citizen

Matt Torrey hadn’t seenanything like it.

Granted, as an incomingsenior at Cheshire Academy,Torrey is still of tender age.But as a prospective collegefootball player, he’s seenenough of the recruitingprocess to recognize the com-bine his school ran for a fewdays last month was hardlyrun of the mill.

“The first night was unre-al,” Torrey said. “Besides theBoston College camp lastyear, where there were a lotof coaches, I don’t think I’veseen more college coaches inone area. The place was justcrawling with them.”

This is what CheshireAcademy’s recent success onthe gridiron - as well as thatof Choate - has wrought. Therecruiters will gladly come tothe Cats and Wild Boars, andin droves.

The combine CA stagedover three nights last monthin conjunction with Choatedrew recruiters from 50-plusschools. Among those intown: Penn State, Tulane,Bucknell, Maryland, BostonCollege and a broad samplingfrom the Ivy League, PatriotLeague and NESCAC.

Both local prep schools areriding a string of winningseasons that have been theproduct of post-grad importsand local talent. This hasbeen particularly true atCheshire Academy, whereWallingford natives GrahamKelley and Jeff Biestek werelinemen on recent New Eng-land bowl championshipteams.

CA’s local flavor will beeven more prominent thisfall. All three senior captainsare homegrown: Alec Keenerof Wallingford, Torrey andMike Caldwell, both ofCheshire.

Those three look to contin-ue the legacy in whichthey’ve come of age. Datingback to 2010, when the incom-ing seniors were freshmen,the Cats have gone a com-bined 24-3 and qualified forthree straight bowl games,

first under head coach DanO’Dea and then under his2012 successor, Dave Dyke-man.

Of the three losses, twowere to Class B archrivalSuffield and the other to Gov-ernor’s Academy in lastyear’s Flaherty Bowl.

“It’s been an expectation,”said Caldwell. “Going intothe season, we have threemain goals: Beat Suffield, goto a bowl game and go unde-feated.”

The other expectation isthat a fistful of Cats will signwith college programs. The 8-1 team of 2010 saw, amongothers, Kelley go to Lafayetteand 3,840-yard passer CodyKeith head to East Carolina.The 9-0 team of 2011, CA’sfirst football undefeatedsince 1960, was headlined bywide receiver Malik Golden(Penn State) and quarterbackMike Villapiano (Brown).

Last year, Biestek and SamRussell deepened the CApipeline to Brown. Line-backer Cory Jasudowich ofNorth Branford signed withUConn. They were three ofsix Cats to commit on Nation-al Signing Day.

The trend will continue in2013. Torrey, a career defen-sive back moving to line-backer and tight end, has al-ready been offered by NewHampshire, Bryant and Cen-tral Michigan. This pastweekend, he visitedLafayette and Richmond.UMass, UConn, Temple andBoston College are amongthe others on his radar.

Keener, a starting tacklesince his freshman year, hasalready been offered by Cor-nell, New Hampshire, Buffa-lo and Bryant. He’s currentlyvisiting Elon and Maryland.Penn State, Boston College,Syracuse and Rutgers arealso interested in the 6-4, 250-pound lineman.

Caldwell, CA’s veteran cen-ter, won’t be playing at thenext level, but that’s bychoice. He’s parsing Con-necticut schools - he wants tostay in state - as the first stepin a prospective career inmedicine.

“That’s another thing

Cheshire’s taught me: Have agame plan; know what youwant to do,” Caldwell noted.

Caldwell and the Cats havea good notion of what they’llbe doing on the gridiron thisfall. Already a spread offense,CA has a returning quarter-back in 6-4 junior PatrickKeogh of Madison and isgaining an influx of post-grad receivers, which meansthe passing will become evenmore pronounced.

The post-grads are AlanDawson of Ft. Lauderdale,Connor Pilch of Atlanta,Austin Allen of California’sMater Dei Catholic andGrant Lewis of Glastonbury.Allen is the son of formerNFL player Eric Allen.

The receiving/secondarycorps will be further fleshedout by Cheshire native SeanHerdman, a major lacrosserecruit. Fellow senior Chan-dler Colberg of Madison willbe the tailback.

Keogh’s twin brother M.J.,who goes 6-6, 235, and incom-ing sophomore Seyum Set-tepani, a 6-3, 270 product ofHarlem, will anchor the de-fensive line. The O-line willbe buttressed by Old Say-brook’s Alex Bell, Middle-town’s Nick Wilson andBoston’s Karon Jones, a 6-4,315-pound sophomore.

At a recent “Benching forBreast Cancer” fundraiser atthe school, Jones put up 225pounds 26 times in a row.Those are combine numbers -NFL combine numbers.

As for CA’s combine, it wasstarted four years ago byO’Dea and Torrey’s father,Brett Torrey, the school ath-letic director. It was a way tobring order to the flurry ofrecruiters who were showingup in Cheshire, often withjust a half-hour lead time,disrupting the day.

“I couldn’t get anythingdone because I’d have to en-tertain them here in the lob-by,” joked the elder Torrey.

Now the “entertainment”is done on the field. With re-cruiters kibitzing and look-ing on, the prep players weredivided up by position andwent through various drillsat last month’s combine.

Build it and they will come- not just a winning program,but a caliber of student-ath-lete who can make the collegegrade.

“Danny did a great jobwith the people he knew,”Dykeman said of his prede-cessor, now coaching at

Lawrenceville School in hisnative New Jersey, “and itlooks like we’re doing a lot ofthe same things.

“The legacy created hereshows there is a great oppor-tunity for success. Our kidsare the full package.”

Cheshire Academy features threehomegrown captains

Wildcats eye national play The Cheshire Wildcats U10 softball team, comprisedof players from Meriden, Cheshire, Shelton, Orange,Westport, Milford and Wolcott, qualified for the Na-tional Pony East Zone Softball Tournament in New-town, Pa.
