Surrounded by books, arts, music and people she enjoys working alongside, Cheshire Public Library Assistant Director Maria Brandriff, has spent more than three de-cades doing what she loves. For all things, however, there is a season, and Brandriff has

decided to retire this month.

As she retires, Brandriff is excited about future adven-tures. She plans to travel. India and Egypt are on her “to-do” list, as well as Europe. “I’ve vis-ited Italy and Spain and France, and Germany. I was born in Bavaria,” Brandriff said. “But I’ve never been to Switzerland or Belgium … choco-late places.”

Brandriff is known as “The Chocolate Lady.” As a chocolatier, she’s presented her chocolate culinary pro-grams for television and at

many venues, including the Cheshire Public Library. Brandriff intends to spin her love and knowledge of choc-olate into a blog and continue

Public welcome to join the festivities for Assistant Library Director Maria Brandriff on her retirement.

Dodd Middle School Language Arts teacher Kristen Shanley was sur-prised and humbled when told she was Cheshire Public Schools’ Teacher of the Year for 2013-14 school year.

“I knew I was nominated for Dodd teacher of the year, but actually getting district

teacher of the year sur-prised me,” she said.

The seventh grade teacher won the award because of her exem-plary work both in and out of the classroom, said Superintendent of Schools Greg Florio.

“She is just one of those teachers who is very, very effective in the classroom,” he said. “And she’s a great

Bullying is getting a beat down at Cheshire High School with a new club for girls called, “Let’s Get Real.”

“It’s designed to help girls come together and it’s about girls being mean to other

girls,” said Sandy Tyrell, li-censed practicing counselor and art therapist, who runs the four-week program.

Lets Get Real was prompted by a call from Youth Services to the high school about bully-ing, particularly among girls.

“They were seeing a lot of girls ... The behavior of the

girls was ruthless, so I de-veloped a curriculum to deal with it,” Tyrell said.

Mat h teacher Ta r y n DiSorbo, who started the club, said she was bullied.

“I struggled when I was in middle school and high

Urgent message regarding delivery of The Cheshire Citizen

U.S. Rep. Elizabeth Esty (Dem.) furrowed her brow as she looked intensely through safety goggles while a worker intricately threaded wire on a heater coil at Industrial Heater Corp.

Esty toured the Cheshire manufacturing company Oct. 31 as workers made parts for heating equipment out of ce-ramics and metal.

The loud sounds of the equipment, hammering, laser cutting and a backing forklift, served as a backdrop for her talks with workers.

One worker was hired out of a Dunkin’ Donuts shop. Another went to Naugatuck Community College. Esty listened intently to all their stories and laughed with a woman dressed in a cat cos-tume for Halloween.

All the equipment went to a hum in standby mode as the 48 workers gathered to listen to Esty talk about the disputes in Washington, taxes, the minimum wage and immigration.

Workers asked her ques-tions, mostly in Spanish and interpreted by a bilingual worker.

“It’s high on my list to sup-port manufacturing and see that American jobs are kept in the U.S.,” she said. “And one of the biggest concerns for me is how to make sure people have good jobs out of school.”

She said the partisan bat-tles in Washington are “frustrating.”

“It’s frustrating with how much fighting is going on. We need to get more done,” she said. “But there is work being done together. All you see on the news is the jump-ing around and screaming the loudest, but we are meeting and no one’s reporting on that.”

She lamented the recent shutdown of the federal gov-ernment. “The shutdown was very unfair to the American people,” she said. “We need to get together and find one budget and agree on it. We have hard choices to make but we need to make them.”

A worker asked Esty why the government keeps help-ing other countries, and why “home” didn’t come first.

“I think we don’t promote jobs here as much as we should and I’m working on that,” she said. “It is compli-cated, but we need to make sure we are creating jobs

here. I want to support in-vesting in people.”

Another worker asked why it is taking so long to get her family into the United States.

“We need comprehensive immigration reform. You’re here, you’re working, paying taxes, it should be important to keep families together,” she said.

Esty said she supports raising the federal minimum wage, while adding that the fact that Connecticut’s higher minimum wage actu-ally hurts companies, which go elsewhere because it’s cheaper to do business in cheaper states.

“I’m sponsoring legisla-tion in Washington to raise the minimum wage,” she said. “The issues here are the ones no one is talking about. It’s super-helpful to have a chance to hear from people

Republicans retained a 6-3 majority on the Town Council in the Nov. 5 election, with five incumbents and a polit-ical newcomer winning seats.

In some races, the margins were slim, with differences of as few as 30 votes.

R e p u b l i c a n i n c u m -bents Tim Slocum, David Schrumm, Tom Ruocco, Sylvia Nichols and Jim Sima retained their seats, and new-comer Republican Rob Oris also won.

“Any win is a good win,” Schrumm said. “Republicans retaining a 6-3 majority says people like the way things are going in town. I’m very, very pleased. We have a lot of challenges ahead and I’m very serious about keeping our finances in order.”

There was major confu-sion about whether Democrat Mike Ecke had retained his seat or lost it to Republican incumbent Jim Sima. They went back and forth, until Ecke went to Town Hall to

get the final results, which showed that Sima had won by 30 votes.

“I feel the same way I did before I won,” Sima said. “I just won by a few votes.”

Democrat incumbents Peter Talbot and Patti Flynn-Harris retained their seats, and will be joined on the council by newcomer Liz Linehan.

Flynn-Harris said she was most impressed with how well Democratic challenger and first-time candidate Kristen Selleck performed in her race against Schrumm, by

Flynn-Harris said. “I’m sad Ecke didn’t make it, but I’m so glad to see how Kristen Selleck made a go of it. She’s not going away. Now we need to move on from the pool and focus on other things like all day kindergarten and how the buildings can handle it.”

As for his loss, Ecke told Sima, “I always thought I’d go one too far, and I did this time.”

Shanley

motivator for students.”Shanley, 36, grew up in

Cheshire and went to Dodd Middle School and Cheshire High School herself. She graduated from Cheshire High in 1995. She went to the University of Connecticut and graduated from the five year master’s in education program.

She started teaching at Dodd right away and has been there for 13 years now.

“I love coming to work ev-ery day.” she said. “I love be-ing with the kids. They’re at such a fun age.”

Shanley has been with the district long enough to ride through many curriculum changes, including the new-est common core standards curriculum.

Her favorite part of the new curriculum is that stu-dents are able to read books they choose, instead of being assigned one book the whole class has to read.

“I do think moving to the Reading Workshop has worked well for Dodd,” she said. “It used to be torture to get kids to sit down and read independently. Now, like 90 percent of the kids can’t wait to open their books and read.”

Shanley has a total of 98 students divided into classes of 22 to 27 students each.

She said the main goal as a teacher is to instill a love of reading in her students.

Her favorite young adult book and author is “The Fault in Our Stars,” by John Green.

She divides her time be-tween reading young adult books to keep up with her students and adult books for her own love.

She recently calculated how much she reads.

“I average 336 pages a week in reading,” she said, “I would love them to love reading, just as I do.”

in their work environment.”In her support of manu-

facturing jobs, she suggested McGwire open his doors to school children, so they can see manufacturing as a viable career choice.

“People are not under-standing what modern man-

ufacturing is like, that you can go to a two-year college and trade school and in four, five years, make six figures,” she said. “We meet with a lot of manufacturers all over the district and it makes sense to have open houses.”

PUBLIC LANDS DAY CLEAN-UP

During National Public Lands Day, held Sept. 28, Cheshire’s Environmental Planner Suzanne Simone organized a clean-up day on town-owned DeDominicus property. Simone, with Cheshire High School juniors Ryan Ferraro, left, and Nick Poling are shown as they clear debris away from culverts, caused by heavy rains earlier in the season. The stream feeds into a small pond on the other side of the culvert. Ferraro and Poling were part of a larger student group from the Young Democrats Club at CHS, who along with other Cheshire residents, participated in the event. All together, about 20 volunteers spent more than two hours clearing trails and reclaiming space from invasive species such as barberry bushes, and multiflora roses. | (Joy VanderLek/The Cheshire Citizen)

A Connecticut based home repair program is seeking ap-plicants for it’s annual Spring 2014 repair blitz.

HomeFront, a nonprofit or-ganization, will celebrate its 27th year this May helping residents repair their homes. Its mission is to help keep low-income neighbors in their homes while improving their quality of life with the free program.

The program offers to fix basic fundamental needs of the home such as painting, repairs to the roof, plumb-ing, electrical, and flooring, fixing faulty windows, doors, steps and railing at no cost to qualifying, low-income homeowners.

“We choose the homes to repair primarily based on in-come guidelines,” said Sean O’Brien, executive director of HomeFront, Inc. “We’re try-ing to help those who have enough money to hang on to their homes but lack ade-quate funds to make repairs.”

The organization is look-ing to complete the repairs in 100 homes throughout C o n n e c t i c u t a n d i n Westchester, N.Y. Last year the program received 650 requests and completed 80 home repairs.

“The decision is based not only on the need but also how well the repairs needs match up with the skills we have in the volunteers who will work in that area,” said O’Brien.

Last year, HomeFront

worked with 21,000 volun-teers including 70 commu-nity, faith and civic groups and businesses, making re-pairs in roughly 30 towns.

The program, originally started by Americares 27 years ago, is now an indepen-dent program funded through foundations, corporations, in-dividual donations and fund-raising by several volunteer organizations. In addition to the financial support, O’Brien says they also work hard to get materials donated to help keep costs down and be able to assist more families.

“There are so many good hearted people and some-times requests can be over-whelming, but it’s nice to be a part of a phenomenon that brings out the best in people,”

Free home repair program seeks applicants

By Erin ButlerSpecial to The Citizen

Deadline to apply is today

O’Brien said. S i n ce i t s fo u n d i n g ,

HomeFront has delivered more than $40 million in do-nations of products and ser-vices to local communities.

Interested homeowners must apply before Nov. 15 to be eligible for the spring re-pairs. Local volunteers will

complete the work in May 2014. Referrals are welcome from neighbors, social ser-vice agencies, faith commu-nities and city officials.

To apply for the home re-pair program, to volunteer or to make a donation, call 1-800-887-4673 or visit www.homefrontprogram.org.

A DAY AT IVES FARM

Citizen photos by Joy VanderLek

Ive’s Farm on Cheshire Street hosted “A Day at the Farm” in October, which also functioned as the reveal for the newly constructed barn on the property. Ives farm was bequested to the Cheshire Land Trust by owner Betty Ives, and in-cludes 166-acres of farm-land and forests. A day at the farm featured something

for everyone and was an all-day event sponsored by the Cheshire Land Trust.

Photos don’t show how picturesque the farm is in the ever-changing bucolic fall landscape.

In addition to nature and bird hikes, there was old-time farm equipment and antiques on display out-side the barn. There were

also wagon rides for the whole family. Various non-profit groups including the Quinnipiac Valley Audubon Society and the Cheshire Historical Society set up displays in the barn.

A bouncy house for kids was located across the street from the main farm buildings, near the pump-kin patch.

Shown (lower left) is 11-year-old Natalie Purtill peeking through one of the four cut-outs from the Cheshire Historical Society.

Antiques were on hand, brought in by Cheshire Land Trust member Rick Marinaro, which set the scene, and a peek at the beautiful, new and sturdy red barn and the patch of pump-kins at Ive’s Farm recalls days gone by.

Cannot be combined with any other offers or promotions. Exp. 12/31/13.

Bullying

school,” DiSorbo said. “I fully supported this idea.”

Lying, gossip, betrayal and competition are the topics the club will address. It is limited to nine participants largely due to funding and will meet each Thursday through Nov. 21, Tyrell and DiSorbo said.

“I see a lot of it, espe-cially over the Internet, like Twitter and I’ve seen some of it in school, too,” said sopho-more Lauren Pasinski. “I’ve been bullied online.”

For example, she said, a girl could be called fat and develop an eating disorder as a result.

“It really affects people’s lives. It keeps coming back in your head,” Pasinski said.

Sophomore Shosha na Moskowitz joined with a friend.

“I always support her when she needs me ,” Moskowitz said.

Senior Abby Kaczmarek said she joined the group because of her work in peer support groups.

“We act as mentors for

bullying,” she said. “It’s not as much physical bullying as trying to get under people’s skin. It starts online a lot.”

Senior Ally Voegel is also involved in peer counseling and said that when she heard of the club she wanted to join right away.

“We need to stop bully-ing,” she said. “I don’t see it as much in school, but I see it online.”

DiSorbo hopes the nine girls will spread the mes-sage through the entire stu-dent body.

“Ideally, I think it would benefit everybody,” she said.

DiSorbo is hoping to bring the program/club back next semester.

“We’ll f ind a way,” she said. “It’s important.”

Republicans also held the majority of the seats, with incumbents Sandra Pavano and Tony Perugini easily get-ting re-elected. Also elected was Democratic newcomer Kathryn Fabiani.

“I was the top vote-getter for the Board of Education, and I think it’s because peo-ple listened when I said I re-ally want to do what’s best

for the people of this town,” Pavano said. “I really feel we can make a difference.”

“I’m happy the election is over, now we can get back to work,” Perugini said. “We’ve got to work on all-day kinder-garten and getting the budget fixed.”

Library

her presentations, too.Library Director Ramona

Burkey said, “When you work so closely with someone, day after day, and rely on them for so much … She’s a huge part of what we do here … we’ll miss her—to say the least, ” said Brandriff has had a hand in just about every facet in the library, including picking out colors for the walls during the library renovations in the 1990s. Her main job respon-sibility, however, was to book concerts and lectures for Sunday programming at the library and handle publicity. Seeing the Sunday Showcase series turn into such a success has been especially meaning-ful to her. The Sunday venue initially only drew a small at-tendance. Under the direction of Brandriff, the series began to draw large audiences of 100 or more. At times, “world-class talent” was presented covering a wide scope of arts and entertainment.

“I’ve had good response for it, from a variety of peo-ple … and from families with children who thank me for introducing their children to music in a non-threatening way,” Brandiff said. A par-ent to two daughters, now grown, Brandriff allowed that children could be taken into the hallway if they got antsy during a concert or show.

A favorite of the Sunday Showcase series that Brandriff is proud to have booked, is renowned chef and author Jacques Pépin. It was quite a coup for Brandriff to book him, not once, but twice. “He just filled the place,” Brandriff said. “We ordered many, many copies of his books, and they all went—they pretty much sold out. “

Another successful pro-gram was a fundraiser for the library, a concert by Elizabeth von Trapp. “That was a big deal,” Brandriff said adding that she and von Trapp have remained friends.

The most-attended pro-gram was not music or cook-ing, according to Brandriff.

“The most attendance for a program was when I had a couple here who were into alien visitation. I forget their names, but they were a well-known (local) couple. We had 450 people here … they filled the entire library.”

One particular artist in the Sunday Showcase se-ries, Russian-born cellist Tanya Anisimova, is some-one Brandriff calls a “rare find.” An exceptional art-ist who has played Carnegie Hall, the Cheshire Public Library hosted her for two performances.

Finding such high-caliber talent and then being able to “give them to the community in Cheshire is part of the joy,”

Brandriff said. “We’ve had others who have performed with major names—Stacey Phillips is another one who brings in a big crowd all the time …. Pierce Campbell and

Paul Bisaccia, the pianist. Brandriff is also happy to have been a big part in the career of therapist turned international humorist Joyce Saltman.

Commentary

During the recent govern-ment shutdown, many num-bers were thrown around, but there is one number that stands out and it has nothing to do with the debate over the federal budget.

More than one a day. That is how many members of our active-duty military, Army National Guard and Reserve forces have com-mitted suicide over the last year. Simply put, we are losing more service mem-bers by their own hands than we are by the enemy in Afghanistan.

Only those who experi-enced firsthand the horrors of combat can understand why most of these young men and women feel com-pelled to take such drastic and permanent measures.

As Veterans Day cere-monies and parades occur throughout the country, it is important that we commit ourselves to do everything possible to prevent these needless and tragic deaths.

We are their friends, their family, their co-workers and their neighbors. It is up to us

to ensure that veterans feel their service to this country is appreciated by their fel-low Americans.

There are many tangible ways we can acknowledge their sacrifice, but the easi-est is to simply say, “Thank you for what you have done for our country.”

If he is showing signs of unhappiness or depres-sion, encourage him to seek help through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs immediately.

If she has had difficulty obtaining the benefits she is entitled to, let her know that The American Legion has thousands of trained service officers nationwide who will help her navigate the bu-reaucracy free of charge.

And if a veteran has made the supreme sacrifice, re-member the price that has

been paid for our freedom and offer your support to the loved ones left behind.

Veterans Day is a time to honor not just those who have fought for us in battle, but all of the outstanding men and women who served in our nation’s armed forces since our founding more than 237 years ago.

Not all veterans have seen war, but a common bond that they share is an oath that they expressed their willingness to die defending this nation.

Perhaps, most significant in preserving our way of life, are the battles that America does not have to fight.

While we should all be grateful for the remarkable advancements made in mil-itary medicine and pros-thetics, the fighting spirit and inspirational stories of our veterans are not due to technology.

These traits come from the heart.

And many of these vet-erans are women, such as Army Chief Warrant Officer Lori Hill.

Commentary

“There is no there there.” That’s what Gertrude Stein famously said about Oakland, Calif., in 1933, and that’s what a lot of people seem to think about Hartford, Conn., in 2013 - that it’s a place where nothing ever happens; a one-horse, Monday-to-Friday town that pulls in the sidewalks at 6 p.m., after all the insurance people have gone home to their bed-room communities. “I’m sorry to say that Hartford is a lovely city with a lousy reputation,” a 61-year res-ident of the Constitution State’s capital told re-porters from Connecticut magazine when they were working on their “Rating the Towns” feature for the November 2013 issue.

Although the magazine did manage to find some signs of life among small businesses, the almost uni-versal question outsiders ask after the sun goes down on downtown Hartford is “Where is everybody?”

Hartford came in fifth among the state’s eight largest cities, with poor ratings for “crime,” “edu-cation” and “economy,” and only middling numbers for “community engagement” and “culture/ leisure.” This comes as no big sur-prise: Remember Adriaen’s Landing? No? Well, not a whole lot came of that, al-though the Connecticut Science Center does look nice from the highway. And remember the plan to snatch the New England Pat r i o t s away f rom Massachusetts and bring them to Hartford? No? Well, maybe that’s better forgotten. Remember the Whalers? What Whalers? And that pretty much leaves those old reliables

the Mark Twain House and the Wadsworth Atheneum as Hartford’s top tourist draws.

But while Hartford’s ranking among the Big Eight may be lackluster at best, it probably didn’t bring half the gloom and doom down upon civic officials as did Meriden’s doleful status: Dead last in its category and dead last overall.

You see, this year the magazine decided to change its methodology by grouping towns accord-ing to median home sales price (including condos) rather than by population. But while that may sound like a good idea - in that it did take Meriden (popula-tion 60,638) out of direct, and ludicrous, competition with wealthy Greenwich (62,256) and prosperous West Hartford (63,274) - it isn’t necessarily an im-provement in fairness to now compare the Silver City with Sterling (popula-tion 3,799) and other rural villages such as Cornwall (1,412), nor with a pic-ture-postcard shoreline community like Westbrook (6,914).

Meriden is in the me-dian home-sales-price class of $174,999 or less, and came off much worse than Enfield, Plainville, Torrington, Manchester and West Haven. This cat-egory holds 39 towns.

Southington was a sur-prise, coming in second to last in the $225,000-$299,999 category of 41 towns, barely ahead o f No r t h B ra n fo rd . Southington’s worst score was for culture/leisure; its best was for education.

Cheshire came in 11th in the same group, with a very high score for education, and was ahead of Litchfield

copter over Iraq in 2006, she maneuvered her chopper to draw enemy gunfire away from another helicopter and provide suppressive fire for troops on the ground.

Despite flying a damaged aircraft and suffering inju-ries, she landed the helicop-ter safely, saving her crew.

For her actions, she be-came the first woman to receive the Distinguished Flying Cross.

Women are major con-tributors to our military presence in Afghanistan and many have given their lives in the War on Terrorism.

The American Legion re-cently issued a report call-ing upon the VA to improve its response to the unique needs of women veterans.

The VA and military health systems need to ad-equately treat breast and cervical cancer as well as trauma that resulted from domestic violence, sexual harassment and assault.

America is home to more than 1.2 million women vet-erans, and they deserve our support.

Let us always treat all of our 23 million veterans as the saviors of our country that they are. Even when the guns are no longer shooting.

and Farmington and well ahead of West Hartford.

Wallingford was 17th in the $175,000-$224,999 group of 44 towns, but scored well ahead of Wethersfield, Newington and Middletown.

What does it all mean? Well, it may mean that a place like Meriden has plenty of the problems of a much bigger city, but relatively few of the cultural institutions and lei-sure opportunities - and yet, East Hartford, East Windsor and even Plainville got worse crime ratings than Meriden’s. (Meriden, Wallingford and Southington were all given the same crime rating: 35. The magazine says the num-ber was calculated for major crimes committed in 2012,

per 1,000 population, as com-piled by the state Department of Public Safety. It certainly doesn’t ring true, but there it is.)

What else? It may mean that Southington, despite its bad crime number, outranked Branford, New Milford and North Haven in education. It may mean that Wallingford’s crime rating was balanced by a remarkably high rank for community engagement. It may mean that every munic-ipality has its strengths and weaknesses.

Most of all, it may mean that there’s no entirely fair and reasonable way to com-pare 169 diverse towns and cities - the large vs. the tiny, the intensely urban vs. the bucolic, the rich vs. the poor.

But still, it’s fun to look.

A new group has been es-tablished to offer support for the special challenges that veterans face. Veterans for Veterans CT meets twice a month at the Mount Carmel Christian Church in North Haven and is open to new members looking for a community with a unique understanding of life as a veteran.

“These are veterans who don’t need medication or a psychologist, they just need

to talk and other veterans are the best ones for them to talk too,” said Senior Pastor, Rev. Don Rivers at Mount Carmel Christian Church.

Rivers said the group started out of a request from veterans in his parish, who found there was a need. While the group meets at the church, it is not reli-gious based. Rivers, who is not a veteran himself, says he is just there to “keep the group moving in a positive direction”.

The group consists of veterans from all different wars, including Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan.

“They talk about the everyday struggles they are facing, such as when the government was shut down. They discussed what would happened when Nov. 1 came and the disability check didn’t,” Rivers said. “It helped for them to know they are not alone.”

Rivers adds, with the staggering statistics of sui-cide of veterans reported at 22 suicides a day, he hopes “if this group can prevent just one”, it will have made a difference and been a cat-alyst for hope.

In the future, he would like to offer a mentorship program for those getting back in the workforce, which would teach skills such as balancing checkbooks and interviewing. Eventually, he would like to create halfway house for veterans facing homelessness.

“Some of them don’t as-similate back into society very well after being told what to do every minute of their day. They have had all these decisions made for them and now they are lost,” Rivers said.

In the spring, Rivers would like to expand the meetings to include activi-ties the members enjoy, but right now, he says about let-ting the veterans know the group is here to help.

“We just want to reach out and hold onto a brother or sister and give them a sense of value and hope again.”

Veterans for Veterans CT meet on the second and fourth Saturday of each month, at 8 a.m. at Mount Carmel Christian Church, 5100 Ridge Road. Those in-terested are welcome to at-tend a meeting or for more information, call (860) 202-3598 or visit v4vct.org.

HealthWhat you should know and do this flu season

It has been recognized for many years that people 65 years and older are at greater risk of serious complications from the flu compared with young, healthy adults. It’s estimated that 90 percent of seasonal flu-related deaths and more than 60 percent of seasonal flu-related hospital-izations in the United States each year occur in people 65 years and older. This is be-cause human immune de-fenses become weaker with age. So influenza can be a very serious disease for peo-ple 65 and older.

Actions to take this flu season:

Get your flu shot.The best way to prevent

the flu is with a flu vaccine. CDC recommends that ev-eryone 6 months of age and older get a seasonal flu vac-cine as soon as it becomes available in your community. Vaccination is especially im-portant for people 65 years and older because they are at increased risk for complica-tions from flu.

A flu vaccine protects against flu viruses that re-search indicates will be most

common during the season. The vaccine has been up-dated for this season and im-munity wanes over a year, so you should get vaccinated this year even if you were vac-cinated last season. Immunity sets in about two weeks after vaccination.

People 65 years and older have two flu shots available to choose from - a regular dose flu vaccine and a newer flu vaccine designed for peo-ple 65 and older with a higher dose. The high dose vaccine is associated with a stronger immune response to vaccina-tion. However, whether the stronger immune response results in greater protection

against influenza illness in older adults is not yet known. The CDC and its Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices have not expressed a preference for either vaccine.

Practice good health habits including covering coughs, washing hands often, and avoiding people who are sick.

Seek medical advice quickly if you develop flu

symptoms to see whether you might need medical evaluation or treatment with antiviral drugs. It’s very im-portant that antiviral drugs be used early to treat flu in people who are very sick with flu (for example, peo-ple who are in the hospital), and people who are sick with flu and have a greater chance of getting serious flu compli-cations, like people 65 and older.

Flu symptoms include fe-ver, cough, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, body aches, headache, chills and fa-tigue. Some people may also have vomiting and diarrhea. People may be infected with the flu and have respiratory symptoms without a fever.

Farrel, Federico and Bellantonio lead Rams into Class L semifinals

CHESHIRE — The drama at Maclary Athletic Complex was over by the latter stages of the first half.

The first snowflakes of the season, some sleet, an icy rain and elimination was all the Fairfield Warde field hockey team mustered for making the trip.

Emma Farrel, Danielle Bellantonio and Michelle Federico each had a goal and an assist Nov. 8 as the second-seeded Rams rode a three-goal first-half explo-sion to a 4-1 win over the Mustangs in a CIAC Class L quarterfinal match.

Cheshire (19-2) advanced to the semifinals against No. 3 Greenwich Tuesday. The Rams lost to the Cardinals in Greenwich, 2-1, on Oct. 12. They beat them in the 2011 semifinals en route to their last state title.

On Friday, the 3-0 lead did little to soothe Cheshire coach Eileen Gallagher’s tournament tension.

“I’m never comfortable,” she said. “I don’t get com-fortable at all. We score in batches and I’m always afraid a team can score like we can. You always worry someone else has that abil-ity and I think certain teams — like Hand — do. [Warde’s] a very good team. It just seemed like they were slow today.”

Cheshire took the lead in the seventh minute. Federico unleashed a laser just inside the circle and Olivia Larson deflected it past goalie Katy Stepsis.

The pressure continued.

Federico got shots off suc-cessive penalty corners. A pass from Larson to Kya O’Donnell produced a near miss, but with seven minutes to go before halftime, more than the sky turned gray for the Mustangs (10-7-2-1).

O’Donnell took a shot that Stepsis, saved but Farrel se-cured it in space and rammed it home for a 2-0 lead.

The Rams’ third goal came 1:42 before intermis-sion when Farrel’s booming delivery was deflected in by Bellantonio.

The second half was a study in executing and de-fending penalty corners.

The Mustangs wracked them up one after another, but failed to produce a goal. Meanwhile, Cheshire added a fourth goal off a corner. Bellantonio made the in-sertion. Federico settled the ball and made the deposit in the 42nd minute.

Finally, on their seventh corner of the half and 10th

of the match, the visitors averted the shutout on a shot by Emily Allen. Farrel took responsibility for deflecting it in.

“I shouldn’t have touched it,” she said. “I tipped it and [Cheshire goalie Maddy

Dig it: 25-0 Rams roll into state volleyball semis

CHESHIRE — Cheshire came out onto its home gym floor Saturday night with an energy that seemed to say “We’re not going to be de-nied” even against one of its fiercest rivals in Amity.

The undefeated Rams were definitely not denied in their quest to reach the CIAC Class LL girls volleyball semifinals. Getting contributions from seemingly everyone on the team Cheshire rolled to a 3-0 (25-9, 25-17, 25-19) victory that was never in doubt in a 75-minute quarterfinal match.

“We had a lot of chemistry out there on the court and our fans definitely helped us get pumped up,” junior libero Maria Buzzelli said. “Everything was working tonight.”

Game 1 was simply per-fection. The Rams (25-0)

committed a minimum of mistakes and their attack produced points on 13 kills from six players, including four from junior Jill Howard (9 kills, 4 blocks) and three apiece from junior Jillian Haberli (6 kills) and senior Becca Ligi (10 kills, 2 blocks), many of those set up by junior Sarah Rodgers (26 assists).

“Tonight the entire team just did phenomenal,” Ligi said. “We’re a very well-rounded team so no one re-ally stands out. We had heck of a game from everyone.

“(Game 1) was one for the books. Everyone did what they were supposed to do when they were supposed to do it. We never gave up. There were minimal errors. It was just a great team effort. I’m so proud of our team.”

Cheshire scored the first three points and never let up going up 11-4 on a Ligi kill and taking leads of 16-8 on a

Howard kill before closing it out with three consecutive points on a Howard kill, a Howard block and a Haberli kill.

“They’re a rival; they’re in our conference. Both teams get up for this game,” said Cheshire coach Sue Bavone, who recorded her 401st ca-reer victory. “We made less errors than they did.

“I was really nervous about the second game, to be hon-est with you, because I was like ‘Man, I don’t know.’ I just didn’t want to see any letups. They did a nice job. We served well tonight. We didn’t miss a lot of serves. Maria served really tough, kept them on their heels.”

Amity (19-6) was more in the match in Game 2 behind six kills from senior captain Allison Denny, but never held a lead or a tie, just as in Game 1. The Spartans kept it within four points until Laura

Heynen’s ace put Cheshire up 15-10. Amity battled to keep it close, but again the Rams re-ceived 13 kills from five play-ers this game, three from Eva Whelan (9 kills, 3 blocks) and three from Haberli.

Buzzelli (8 digs) served out the game at 25-17 with one of her four aces.

Buzzelli would display more outstanding serving in Game 3. Amity took its first lead of the night on the first point of Game 3. Down 5-2, Buzzelli took over serving af-ter a Ligi kill and the Rams won 13 points in a row for 16-5 lead.

“I knew I had to do it for my team; I knew I had to give us some leeway,” Buzzelli said. “So I went back there with a goal and I think I ac-complished it. I just went back there and focused and did what I know how to do.

“We’re just really excited to be back there this year (in the

semifinals) and we want to prove that we’re a good team every single year.”

Amity got to 22-18 on the last of Denny’s 11 kills, but nothing was stopping Cheshire on this night as it closed out Game 3 25-19.

“Our defense was really good. When they started to go short and started tip and roll, we picked up a lot of that stuff and turned it into offense,” Bavone said. “So we were really on the same page. I think we were really in sync tonight.”

Cheshire gets Fairfield Ludlowe in the semifinals, a team the Rams eliminated in five games from last year’s semis, Thursday, Nov. 14, at Trumbull High at 7 p.m.

“We’re pumped. We came out last year with a little slow start (against Ludlowe)” Ligi said. “So we have to treat them like we treated Amity tonight. We’re ready to go.”

Yamin (244 yards, 3 TDs) leads CHS over and through Amity

CHESHIRE — Cheshire running back Andrew Yamin usually plays defense as well

as offense. In fact, as a line-backer he’s one of the Rams’ better defensive players.

Last week he was a little dinged up from a previous game and coach Don Drust rested him. The junior didn’t play on the defensive side of the ball Friday night against Amity.

The effect was stunning.Yamin’s acceleration when

taking a handoff was partic-ularly noticeable, if not obvi-

ous. He carried 21 times for 244 yards and scored three touchdowns to help Cheshire to a 34-13 SCC interdivisional victory over the Spartans at Alumni Field.

The rest of the Rams’ power running attack made a big contribution as well with tailback Jack Cunningham scoring twice and picking up 78 yards on 17 carries as Cheshire gained 393 yards on the ground. The Rams (4-5) only passed the ball five times for 16 yards.

“We had a slow couple of games,” Yamin said. “Tonight the line did an awesome job. Offense, quarterbacks did a

great job, Jack did a great job. Felt good to put some points on the board.

“I knew it was an import-ant game. I knew I had to run as hard as I could. I was a lit-tle more rested and I was just running hard.”

The Rams went 11 quarters without scoring —enduring two shutout defeats —before Cunningham ran in from 5 yards to put Cheshire up 7-0 with 4:16 left in the half. That TD capped a 13-play, 56-yard drive all on the ground.

Amity (4-5) scored right away. Spencer Thomas took the ensuing kickoff 87 yards for a touchdown. Amity

kicker Lyle Luth missed the extra point, so Cheshire still led 7-6 with 4:02 to go in the half.

The Rams came right back with a six-play, 77-yard drive keyed by Yamin’s 42-yard burst on the first play of the drive to put Cheshire on the Amity 45. Five plays later Yamin took it in from the 21 and Cheshire led 14-6.

“We’ve been talking about it all year. We felt if we put a game together and played 48 minutes together and ex-ecuted what we were trying to do, we feel we’re a pretty good football team,” Drust said. “We played pretty well and against a pretty darn good football team.”

Cheshire stopped Amity on its next possession on the Rams’ 31 and took over on downs as the half came to an end. Yamin struck again on the first play of the sec-ond half. Cunningham had returned Amity’s kickoff 27 yards to the Rams’ 39 and Yamin did the rest, breaking away for a 61-yard TD run and a 21-6 lead with 11:40 left in the third.

Amity threatened on its next possession with Thomas running up the middle for 23 yards from the Rams’ 37 to bring the ball to the 14. But Cunningham picked off quarterback David Ryan (18-for-34, 201 yards) on the next play at the Cheshire 1.

Cheshire then put together its most impressive drive, 99 yards on 16 plays, featuring a Yamin run of 21 yards to get the ball to the Rams’ 25 and a 13-yard run to cap it for his third touchdown.

Levy] would have had it fine. She would have saved it.”

F a r r e l , F e d e r i c o , Bellantonio and Maggie O’Reilly are the defenders posted with Levy in the net for the penalty corners.

“We were really let down in the second half,” Farrel said. “Something we always work on is picking it up in the sec-ond half and being a sec-ond-half team so that stream of corners scared me, but we knew what we had to do.

“Michelle is the most im-portant factor because she’s the first one who goes out and stops the main hit. Everyone else behind her is pretty much a fall back.”

Gallagher said adjustments are necessary to reduce the corners.

“I think their team figured out our defense and did a

better job than we did,” she said. “We have to be better about clearing the ball out and having the people recov-ering from behind back at the [50-yard line] smarter about where they go.”

Wa rd e c o a c h Jo d i e Shannon was upbeat about the experience.

“It wasn’t too bad. This was the first time in four years we made it to the sec-ond round,” she said. “We are a small team in comparison to the other Class L [teams]. We haven’t had the depth to and this year we knew we could be competitive. To some de-gree we were. In the second half we were very strong but we didn’t start that way and there’s only so much you can give a strong team and be able to come back.”

Shannon cited Cheshire’s depth and ability to strong to-gether passes as key factors.
