State OKs cell tower despite residents’ concerns

Despite staunch oppo-sition from neighbors, the Connecticut Siting Council approved a proposal for a 170-foot high cell phone tower

on the grounds of the town’s wastewater treatment plant on Cheshire Road. The coun-cil, which is based in New Britain, has jurisdiction over the siting of various forms of infrastructure, including tele-communications facilities.

Last month, the coun-cil granted a Certificate of Environmental Compati-bility and Public Need to Danbury-based Homeland Towers, clearing the project to move ahead. Homeland will build the structure.

“The effects associated with the construction, main-tenance, and operation of a telecommunications facility... when compared to need, are not in conflict with the pol-icies of the state concerning such effects and are not suf-

ficient reason to deny the ap-plication,” the council wrote in its opinion.

“They support the con-struction of the tower,” said Town Manager Michael A.

Town Manager Michael A. Milone briefed the Town Council Jan. 28 on the status of his goals and objectives for fiscal year 2015-16.

In June, Milone laid out five goals for the current fiscal year: preserving the finan-cial soundness and sustainability of mu-nicipal operations; enhancing the effec-tiveness and efficiency of town operations; starting, continuing or concluding town projects; improving communication with Cheshire offi-cials and residents and providing pro-fessional support programs to staff to help improve the delivery of town

Jennifer Paul, of Cheshire, teaches at Southington High School and also holds the title of Teacher of the Year for that district.

SHS Principal Dr. Martin Sem-mel said, “Jen Paul is like an athletic trainer, continuing to assess and stretch the students’ progress. She cares about their success and they work hard to make gains for them-selves and for their beloved teacher.”

Paul, one of two literacy specialists at Southington High School, is now in her fourth year of teaching Liter-acy Connections. Paul’s leadership and contributions have included a remarkable growth in the book clubs at SHS, to about 11, including a Vir-tual Book Club she initiated with the Thalberg School across town.

Paul earned her degree in English and writing, (Loyola ’96), her mas-ter’s, (University of New Haven ’99),

services.Milone said maintaining

Cheshire’s financial health and stability is the town’s top priority.

Cheshire has a budget sur-plus of $944,000 and a rainy day fund of $9.4 million. Its medical trust fund also has more than $1 million, he said.

He also cited expected savings of $860,000 from an energy efficiency program underway in municipal and school buildings. The pro-gram is about 40 percent complete.

“From a financial stand-point, we’re pretty comfort-able and optimistic,” he said.

Milone highlighted sev-eral undertakings that have made Cheshire’s operations more efficient and effective, including reorganizing the police department, creating a juvenile review board to handle cases involving mi-nor infractions by juveniles, establishing a task force to combat hoarding and un-safe living conditions and combining and integrating the snow removal and infra-structure maintenance as-pects of the town’s public

works and parks and recre-ation departments.

Milone listed multiple town projects that are ex-pected to be complete this year, such as the $3.1 million permanent community pool cover project, which is slated to be done in September; the $34 million wastewater treat-ment plant upgrades that are set to be finished in Novem-ber; and the first phase of the town’s linear trail extension, which is also scheduled to be completed in November.

In the area of communica-tion enhancements, Milone cited the town’s implementa-tion of Facebook and Twitter, upgraded broadcast equip-ment in the council chambers of Town Hall for televising public meetings and the for-mation of a social media com-mittee comprised of town staff.

One communications proj-ect that is behind schedule is a comprehensive meetings calendar for the town’s web-site that will also link to meet-ing agendas and minutes. The enhanced calendar was origi-nally going to debut at the be-ginning of January, but won’t be ready to roll out for about a month, Milone said.

Paul

and a 6th Year Degree in Reading, (SCSU, ’14). A long list of her services includes 8th/9th grade transitions.

Jen and Joe Paul and their three daughters: Colby, Makenna, and Ceara, live in Cheshire. Paul began her career in Southington as a first grade teacher at the Strong School in 2002. She transferred a year later to Kennedy Middle School as a sixth grade language arts teacher, Paul was transferred again in 2011 as Southington High School’s first teacher in Literacy Connections.

Paul spoke at the Southington school district’s annual convocation late last summer, a few days before the first day of school. She called on her fellow teach-ers “to never underesti-mate the power you have as

a teacher and the influence you will have on each of your students’ lives … be-cause you believe in them, respect them, support them and teach them that they can achieve anything they want in life if they work hard and persevere”, closing with the thought: “You may be the only hope they, (students), have left, the only positive influence they have and yours may be the only smile they see every day!”

Semmel said that Paul’s contributions include “cre-ativity and team work with teachers in science and social studies classrooms utilizing the invaluable re-sources and opportunities for skill development in reading and writing.”

Paul talked about her love of teaching kids to read and how Literacy Connections helps them to do it well,

with greater comprehen-sion and speed and with eagerness to read more. She also explained how read-ing skills can help kids feel comfortable in the school environment.

“Some students move well in finding a place in their new school. They usu-ally have an anchor such as sports, chorus, STEPS”, Paul said, pointing out that oth-ers are still ‘adrift, without an anchor’, trying to figure out who they are and what they’re doing in this space. Literacy Connections can help students “find their voices”, she said.

For example, in one class each student wrote a poem starting with the words: “Just because.” They were asked to reflect on their feel-ings about themselves and how they perceived others might see or judge them. Paul walked them through the experience of break-ing the barriers of writing and concealing oneself by presenting her own “Just Because.”

The kids accepted the challenge of writing a poem about themselves and read-ing it to classmates and they found that it’s okay to be uniquely different.

The first annual Cheshire YMCA Penguin March, which was to be held Jan. 31, has been rescheduled for safety reasons.

The penguin march is an event similar to the Southington YMCA’s Polar Plunge, and involves raising pledges to support children’s summer camp followed by a leap into icy water by the fundraisers.

“We had to reschedule be-cause the ice is too thick to cut,” Monica Cresta said as spokesperson for the Cheshire YMCA. The march will now take place Saturday, March 7. All proceeds from the event go to support camp scholarships for Cheshire children to attend YMCA Camp Quinnipiac.

The change of date car-ries with it the benefit of giv-ing participants more time to raise donations. “The pro-gram is still open for sign up,” Cresta said. “Hopefully we can get more people to join us.”

Tower

Milone. Cheshire wants the struc-

ture built because the po-lice and fire department deem communications in the northeast part of town to be inadequate. Police Chief Neil Dryfe and Fire Chief Jack Casner say public safety units sometimes experience communications troubles in the area, especially when they are inside more densely constructed buildings and are using hand-held radios. At times, officers and firefight-ers have lost contact with dis-patchers when responding to calls, they say.

Because the tower will be on municipal land, town an-tennas will have the highest placement, giving the depart-ments optimal communica-tions capacity. The structure will also make the depart-ments’ planned conversion from analog to digital radio systems possible.

Antennas for AT&T, which is seeking to bolster its own telecommunications capabil-ities in the vicinity, will oc-

cupy the space beneath town antennas on the tower.

AT&T will lease space from Homeland. Cheshire will re-ceive a portion of the pay-ments, as well as payments from those of any other tele-communications providers that lease space.

Other carriers have al-ready expressed interest in using the tower, said Vincent Xavier, Homeland’s site de-velopment manager.

The town will not have to make any lease payments.

Before the structure is built, Homeland must submit development and manage-ment and final site plans to the council, along with con-struction plans and a protec-tion plan for the Eastern Box and Wood turtles, which in-habit the area. The facility must also be completed and in use by July 2016.

Tower antennas may not extend higher than 190 feet.

The tower will be part of a 4,650-square-foot compound that also includes an equip-ment shelter and backup generator for use by AT&T, along with town equipment.

The compound will be en-closed by a fence and ac-cessed through a secure gate.

Wires will run under-ground from a nearby pole on the north side of Cheshire Street to provide power to the station.

Xavier hopes to begin con-struction in April.

Prior to its ruling, the coun-cil conducted hearings on the application in October.

Although a few neighbors backed the tower, stating that they would welcome im-proved cell phone service.

Many more, however, voiced opposition. Oppo-nents objected to the size of the structure, its potential un-sightliness, its proximity to their homes and the adjacent Quinnipiac Recreation Area, its impact on property values and the possibility that radi-ation from the facility could cause harmful health effects.

An online petition at www.change.org titled “Say no to a cell tower at Quinnipiac Park” garnered 342 signatures.

Neighbor Jennifer Arcesi, who was an intervenor in the hearings, said the primary concern for many residents is potential adverse health consequences from the facil-ity, especially to children who use the park. However, she and fellow intervenor Gary Wassmer weren’t allowed to raise the issue during the pro-ceedings because the council doesn’t have the authority to consider it.

“Sometimes the thing that is not spoken is the thing that speaks the loudest,” she said.

In the wake of the council’s decision, Arcesi and other neighbors have written to Cheshire officials to request that specific provisions be inserted into the town’s lease agreement with Homeland, such as mandatory monitor-ing of radiation levels and

public reporting of results. They also ask that the tower be as inconspicuous as possi-ble, with a single, quiet gener-ator and that it not be lit.

Milone replied that he would take the items under consideration, she said.

the spectrum from Ameri-can folk songs and spirituals to classic songs such as Ray Charles’ “Georgia” and mod-ern-day, progressive music from Radiohead.

All songs were stripped to just the vocals without the use of musical instruments, and were masterfully per-formed by the all-male group — often punctuated by glib comments and sound effects, such as whistles, trilling or bird calls, and even comedic slapstick, which produced laughter and applause from the audience.

Cheshire resident Judi Riccio was in the audience with her two young sons, Jo-seph and Nicholas. “We go to most programs at the li-brary,” said Riccio, explain-ing she “wanted them to see these young men in concert doing something different.” The concert series was also “a good way to expose her children to different types of music” and teach them how to behave when at public ven-ues, she said.

For teenagers interested in creating art, but lacking expe-rience, ZenDoodling may be just the art form for them.

“What is so wonderful about this type of art is that you do not need any skills. There is no artistic talent required, it’s basically orga-nized doodling,” said Kel-ley Gile, teen librarian at Cheshire Public Library.

ZenDoodle is the art of drawing designs using struc-tured patterns, or “Zen-tangles,” and fitting them together to create images.

ZenDoodle was the latest one-day workshop that was recently offered for teens, grades 6-12, at the library. The kid-friendly curriculum used instruction sheets that divided each pattern into a series of steps, which breaks down the process into com-ponents so it’s easy for begin-ners to get started.

Gile first learned of the art form after taking a class at Artsplace, as part of an em-ployee enrichment program, based on the art of Zentangle.

“I thought it was intriguing and something teens would be interested in.”

A sixth grader at Chapman School, Stephanie Caplin said she signed up for the class be-cause it combined her love

for drawing with a process that would be doable for her level of experience.

If you are looking for an escape from the cold, the Cheshire Library invites you to its Take Your Child to the Library Day on Saturday, Feb. 7.

“This is a great event for all libraries to participate in,” said Ramona Burkey, Direc-tor of the Cheshire Public Library.

Take Your Child to the Li-brary Day is a grassroots ef-fort that began four years ago by Nadine Lipman, a chil-dren’s librarian in Waterford.

The idea is to encourage community members to visit and explore their local library and the programs and ser-vices it offers.

“We have books, movies and even iPads with fun and educational apps for kids, but the library is not just for chil-dren,” Burkey said. “Among our services, we have digi-tal resources for parents that they can access even while at

home.”As part of Take Your Child

to the Library Day, the li-brary will feature Magician Chick Kelman at 2 p.m. After the performance, children are invited to stop by the Children’s Room for a spe-cial prize. No registration is required and children of all ages are invited.

Children and their parents also are encouraged at this time to sign up for a free li-brary card. You must be a res-ident of Cheshire and bring your license and piece of mail verifying your address.

This year, more than 600 li-braries from 44 states are par-ticipating in Take Your Child to the Library Day.

In addition to its regular hours, the Cheshire Library is open on Sundays from 1 to 5 p.m. now through March 29.

For more information about Take Your Child to the Library Day, or to reg-ister, visit www.cheshireli-brary.com or call the library at (203) 272-2245.

sign, you think ‘how will I do it?’ but when you start trying it and go step by step, it’s ac-tually easy,” Caplin said.

Gile said one of the bene-fits of the ZenDoodle for the teens is that there is instant gratification knowing you can create art in just one sitting.

“You don’t have to spend a great deal of time on it and you can feel good about your-self when it’s done.”

“It’s great to see the fin-ished product and know that you made something all on

your own,” said Caplin. This was the first time the

ZenDoodle class was offered at the library and Gile said it is something she will hold again for teens in the future.

The librarian said there are hundreds of Zentangle pat-terns available in books and online for those interested in exploring this type of art.

The Cheshire Library of-fers a teen program every Friday. Information on up-coming events can be found online at www.cheshireli-brary.com or by calling (203) 272-2245.

And, best of all, a trip to the library is an inexpensive way to take a break from the cold and snow when cabin fever starts to wear you down.

Among the fun events the library has recently hosted is Fancy Nancy Tea Party and Storytime. Held Jan. 31, chil-

dren ages three to seven came dressed up for the event and enjoyed juice, cookies, and a craft.

For those kids who just can’t get enough of the movie “Frozen”, the library held a Frozen Sing Along movie ex-perience on Feb. 1. Partici-pants watched the hit musical while following the lyrics on the screen lead by a bounc-ing snowflake. Children were encouraged to come dressed up as their favorite Frozen character.

Upcoming: Magician Chick Kelman returns to the library on Saturday, Feb. 7 at 2 p.m. for an afternoon of tricks and amazing magic. After the performance, children are in-vited to stop by the Children’s Room for a special prize. No registration is required and

children of all ages are in-vited. The event is part of the library’s Bring Your Child to the Library Day celebration, which encourages families to explore the services the li-brary offers.

Irish heritage research difficult but rewarding

The Cheshire Public Li-brary offered a special work-shop this week for those looking to further their re-search of their Irish Heritage.

“We have been doing ge-nealogical programs for years,” said Bill Basel, Head of Reference Services for the Cheshire Library. “We did an Irish program three or four years ago but since there are a lot of people of Irish decent in the area we thought it was time to do it again.”

The Feb. 3 program, ‘Irish Family History: Researching Irish Websites’, was facili-

tated by professional geneal-ogist Nora Galvin, who is of Irish heritage and has expe-rience with Irish immigrant research.

Basel said this workshop is for those who already have a basic knowledge of their Irish roots and have done all they can with U.S. records. “Ms. Galvin will provide other resources for research including websites and how to reach out for information through writing letters and email,” he said.

Basel said Irish heritage is often hard to get records for because of the way the government in Ireland was set up in the past. “It seems

to be more confusing than other countries, though ev-ery country has it’s own ob-stacles,” he said.

Basel said the library gene-alogy programs are well at-tended and it’s a fun hobby for those who enjoy “detec-tive-like research.”

“Some people spend years trying to figure out their fam-ily tree, so it can be very sat-isfying when you find out things about your family that you never knew before.”

Opinion

If only Malloy limited more than his own paySalaries for Connecticut’s

state legislators and top elected officials — the gov-ernor, lieutenant governor, secretary of the state, comp-troller, treasurer, and attor-ney general — have not been increased since 1998.

The governor’s is $150,000, which comes with use of a big house. The lesser consti-tutional officers are paid a lit-tle more than $110,000. State legislators get $28,000 as base pay and a few thousand more if they are appointed assistant leaders, which nearly everyone is nowadays.

While the governor is sup-posed to run the whole state, more than 1,200 state em-ployees are paid more than he is.

While the governor won’t go broke any time soon, his salary is not luxurious, and the salaries of the other top officials are starting to seem

low, especially insofar as they don’t get state-financed resi-dences and, if they live out-side the Hartford area, will have long commutes.

So at its biennial meeting the other day the Commis-sion on Compensation for Elected Officials proposed increasing those salaries by 10 percent, which might seem modest in light of the 17 years that have passed since the last increase.

But the commissioners had hardly left their meeting be-fore Governor Malloy, House Speaker Brendan Sharkey, and Senate President Pro Tem Martin Looney dis-missed the proposal, explain-ing that state government’s financial circumstances are too strained.

So why have the governor, speaker, and Senate presi-dent pro tem sat silently in recent weeks as raises have been bestowed all over state and municipal government,

many at the direct order of the governor himself and some much larger than 10 percent, most notably the $300,000 raise given to Uni-versity of Connecticut Pres-ident Susan Herbst? Few if any of those government employees would have quit without a raise, and in any case none is irreplaceable.

And it’s not as if the com-pensation commission was proposing raises for the cur-rent occupants of the con-stitutional offices and state legislators; the state Consti-tution forbids raising com-pensation for elected officials during their current term. Any raises for these offices would take effect only fol-lowing the next election.

Of course the public would be far better served if the sal-aries of the elected officials could be adjusted for infla-tion and other circumstances more often than once every 17 years (now it will be at

least 19 years) while compen-sation for the tens of thou-sands of others in state and municipal government could be controlled instead. With salaries that better reflected the demands and insecurities of elective office, more peo-ple might consider becoming candidates and serving. But explaining this apparently requires more articulateness and political courage than current elected officials can muster.

Everyone working full time should be paid enough to support a family, Presi-dent Obama told Congress last week in his State of the Union address. He might as well have added that money should grow on trees.

That is, the president de-clared in effect that peo-ple’s earnings should be determined not by what they produce but by what they consume.

So how big a family should

the least productive full-time job support? Three people? Six? Ten?

In the system the presi-dent envisions, wouldn’t em-ployers have to base hiring decisions not on the value of the labor a job applicant might bring but on the finan-cial need of the applicant’s family?

And if even the most me-nial, unskilled full-time job should be able to support a family, why would anyone try to get educated and improve his skills and labor value and advance his career?

Maybe government, which has little competition for cus-tomers and prices, can oper-ate as the president envisions, but the private economy can-not. For only government believes in something for nothing.

State Police ticket 71 motorists driving after highway ban

NEW HAVEN — State Po-lice say 71 motorists have been issued $92 tickets for defying the state’s travel ban

during the winter storm.Gov. Dannel P. Malloy im-

posed the ban from 9 p.m. Monday, Jan. 26, to 2 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 27 to keep roads and highways clear for snow plows. The New Haven Reg-ister reports that State Police spokesman Lt. Paul Vance

said there were more than 71 stops, but troopers used discretion in issuing tickets. Physicians, for example, were not ticketed. Before the ban more than 100 accidents were reported on state highways. It dropped to 17 after the ban.

Advocates launch ads for Connecticut charter schools

NEW HAVEN — An ad-vocacy group has launched a video ad campaign pro-moting charter schools in Connecticut.

The Coalition for Ev-ery Child released its latest video ad Thursday, Jan. 29. It features a woman speaking about how a charter school helped her son with muscular dystrophy reach his potential.

The New Haven Register reports that the ad is funded by Families for Excellent Schools, a pro-charter school lobbying organization.

Families for Excellent Schools has funded other charter school-related ef-forts, such as an ad campaign against New York Mayor Bill de Blasio and organizing par-ents and rallies in Bridgeport to promote charter schools.

Kara Neidhardt, Connecti-cut state director for Fam-ilies for Excellent Schools, said expanding access to public charter schools must be a priority this year for the legislature.


Foley plans include GOP fundraising

HARTFORD — Tom Foley, last year’s Republican candi-date for governor, says he’s returning to fundraising.

The Hartford Courant re-ports that the Greenwich businessman was in Hartford recently to announce a new executive director for a pol-icy think tank he created and greet some friends.

Foley said that since the election he lost to Gov. Dan-nel P. Malloy, he has been spending more time on his business ventures, includ-

Two men were charged with trying to cash fraudulent checks at United Bank on Ma-ple Avenue. Two people with the men in the vehicle also were charged by police.

Tyrone Robinson Jr., 19, and Ellis Dixson, 30, both of Hartford, were arrested Jan. 28 and charged with third-de-gree forgery, third-degree conspiracy to commit forgery, third-degree conspiracy to commit larceny and sixth-de-gree conspiracy to commit larceny. Robinson Jr. was also charged with third-degree at-tempted larceny. Dixson was also charged with sixth-de-gree attempted larceny and possession of marijuana un-der one-half ounce.

Police responded to the bank Jan. 28, a Wednesday afternoon, but the suspects had already fled the scene in a vehicle. A few minutes later, officers stopped a vehicle that matched a description of the suspects’ vehicle on Horton Avenue near Main Street.

Robinson Jr. and Dixson were arrested about 3:45 p.m., along with Stephen Ar-nold, 50, and Kemo Teal, 38, of Hartford, who were also in the vehicle.

Arnold and Teal were charged with third-degree conspiracy to commit forg-ery, third-degree conspir-acy to commit larceny and sixth-degree conspiracy to commit larceny.

Teal also was charged with operating a motor vehicle un-der suspension.

Cheshire Police Blotter


The Public Building Com-mission and its pool dome committee joined the newly formed pool oversight com-mittee of the Town Council Jan. 29 to hear a report on the community pool’s per-manent cover project.

Voters approved the $3.1 million project in a 2013

referendum after a pair of bubbles that were used to cover the pool during win-ter months caved in under heavy snows in 2011 and 2013.

The council, which has had concerns about com-munication and manage-ment related to the project, recently created the over-sight committee even though the undertaking

was already being overseen by the pool dome commit-tee, the commission and Ar-cadis, Cheshire’s consultant on the project.

Arcadis representatives Keith Goldberg and Tom Beebe briefed members of the committees and com-mission on the project’s progress.

ing Stevens Aviation Inc., an airline services company he has owned for more than 25 years.

He says he has no plans for a third campaign for gover-nor. He narrowly lost to Mal-loy in 2010.

Foley said he intends to return to Republican fund-raising, where he became known as a major fundraiser for President George W. Bush before being named U.S. am-bassador to Ireland.

Pool

“The whole point of to-night is to put everyone on the same page,” Goldberg said.

Goldberg began by resolv-ing a misunderstanding re-lated to the project’s schedule that caused confusion among officials last month.

After it was first announced that the pool would open af-

ter Labor Day, a schedule was distributed at a council meet-ing in late December that in-dicated that St. Louis-based Arizon Cos., the firm the town selected to build the cover, could be done in mid-July, with the pool able to open two days later.

Arizon representatives were not present Thursday.

The Arizon component of the schedule is correct, Gold-

berg said. However, other necessary tasks will still be left, including duct work, equipment installation and repairing the pool’s concrete deck, which was damaged by the snowstorms, he said.

The remaining work will take the rest of the summer, and the pool won’t be able to open until September, as stated originally, he said.

“This schedule has never

changed,” he said.Pool dome committee

member Kevin Wetmore asked if it is possible to ac-celerate the schedule, so the pool can open for part of the summer. He said he was there to “represent the swimming community” and was con-cerned about parents and children not having access to the pool during heat waves.

Committee member Matt

Levine supported Wetmore’s sentiment in principle, but said it was important to take the necessary time to com-plete the work properly and avoid mistakes.

“With all due respect ... we want this project done and done right,” he said.

“With all due respect, that’s a government attitude,” Wet-more retorted, saying that business people constantly find “non-cost, imaginative” solutions to deliver products to consumers faster.

“With all due respect, we’ve all worked incredi-bly hard,” Levine shot back. “We’ve come a long way, we’re here and we’re closer than we’ve ever been (to get-ting the cover built).”

Wetmore relented after other committee and com-mission members echoed Levine’s position.

Goldberg also updated the members on the current sta-tus of the project.

An engineer and architect have been hired, as well as all of the subcontractors Ari-zon will use to build the pool dome, he said.

Arcadis has already com-pleted a “detailed structure review,” he said.

Drawings for all individ-ual components of the proj-ect will be done in February, and construction will begin in April. Arcadis will provide monthly progress reports to the commission, he said.

CHESHIRE — The Rams were meeting a lofty challenge early on during their SCC interdivisional boys basketball game Wednes-

day night, Jan. 28 against vis-iting Fairfield Prep, last year’s CIAC Class LL runner-up.

Cheshire’s goal was to stun the state’s No.

2-rated team and hand the Jesuits their first loss of the season.

For a while, the notion of an up-set was not so far-fetched. In the end, though, by a wide final mar-gin, it was just a memory.

The score was tied in the final minute of the first quarter. Then Fairfield Prep closed out the pe-riod with a four-point lead before

making a move to achieve separa-tion in the next quarter. The Jesu-its led by double-digits at halftime and beat Cheshire 82-45.

Fairfield Prep improved to 12-0 overall and ended Cheshire’s three-game winning streak, leav-ing the Rams at 8-4 overall, yet still winners of six of their last eight

games.If the scent of an upset stirred

Cheshire’s passions, it didn’t have to wait long for another chance to record a big-time victory. The Rams played No. 3-ranked Career Magnet in New Haven on Friday, Jan. 31, falling to the Panthers 78-75.

“I think you have to place the credit on Fairfield Prep and just how well they played,” said Rams’ coach Dan Lee of his team’s ef-fort against the Jesuits. “They do so many good things. When they stopped their drive, they’d throw it out to the perimeter and make shots. They hit a lot of open shots. When they took difficult shots, off screens and cutting in and trying to go under us, they made some of them, too.

Cheshire’s Brendan Clyne gets fouled by Fairfield Prep’s Matthew Gerics.

It’s all about the timing

CHESHIRE — While most girls basketball teams are aiming to qualify for the CIAC state tournament, the Rams — who have already earned a berth — are thinking about building momentum for the playoffs.

Their recent play suggests that goal is realistic.

Cheshire established dominance before its SCC interdivisional game on Friday night against visiting Hamden was halfway through

the first quarter. After that, Cheshire fought off sev-eral attempts to rally by the Green Dragons and earned a 59-46 victory.

The Rams have won four in a row and seven of their last eight games. They are 9-5 overall with six games remaining in the regular sea-son. Hamden dropped to 3-11 overall after its second loss in two nights and its fourth loss in five games.

Coach Sara Mik says her Cheshire team is in a good spot. But she did not discuss whether Cheshire is peaking too soon. Without looking too far ahead, Mik is noting that strong play and good work habits are becoming trade-marks of the Rams — and that’s the wish of every coach.

If consistency hasn’t yet arrived fully for the Rams, it is nearby and appears within grasp.

“I’d rather go 4-0 right now than go 4-0 at the start of the season,” Mik said. “The [team-wide] confidence is there.

“We’re balanced. It’s hard for teams to focus on one player.”

Cheshire’s scoring was far from one-sided against the Green Dragons. Four Rams reached double digits, led by senior captain Kya O’Don-nell’s 15 points. Jill Howard, who blocked four shots and paced Cheshire’s rebounding, added 10 points. Kelly Glatt scored 12 points and Sara Como had 11.

Jessica Davis led Hamden with 13 points. Kate Esposito added 11.

Cheshire owned a 9-0 lead early, and Ham-den, which lost at home to Guilford by 17 points on Thursday, Jan. 29 was showing few signs of being competitive. But coach Alan Stekloff said it was a matter of his young team — the Green Dragons started two sophomores and a freshman — collecting itself.

The Rams held a 15-7 lead entering the sec-ond quarter, but within 2:19 of the period, the

opportunity.” Four Jesuits reached double

digits in scoring, led by Rich Kelly’s 15 points. Ryan Foley added 13. Brendan Carey and Tommy Nolan each had 11.

Nolan, an All-State guard last season, left the game with an ankle injury in the second quarter with the Rams trail-ing 30-20. He left the gym to seek medical attention, and coach Leo Redgate was hop-ing Nolan would be receiving an MRI evaluation as part of the diagnosis.

Nolan is the second Jesuits’ starter to sustain a serious in-jury this season. Point guard Ray Featherston was hurt in January and had an ACL re-paired recently.

Dylan D’Addio paced Cheshire’s offense with 19 points. He was the only Rams’ player to reach double fig-ures. Heath Post added nine points for the Rams, who trailed by 40-26 after the first half. Prep led by 62-35 enter-ing the fourth quarter.

Redgate praised his play-ers’ response to Nolan being carried off the floor. The Je-suits outscored Cheshire by four points over the remain-der of the second quarter, then opened the second half on a 12-2 run. A few minutes later, leading still by more

than 20 points, Fairfield Prep was using reserve players.

Lee was impressed by the Jesuits’ shooting, but he said their inside game influenced the outcome nearly as much.

“They’re a quality team but the difference might have been all their second-chance opportunities,” he said. “They were quick to the offensive boards, and they sent all five players to the boards. They played really quickly, and they have four good shooters.”

Patrick Harding scored two points for Prep, but grabbed many rebounds, influenced shots by the Rams under-neath and made sharp outlet passes after grabbing missed shots.

“I think we played a terrific

half of basketball in the sec-ond half,” Redgate said. “We seem to play better when Tommy Nolan is in the game, but we had other players stepping up. We’re unselfish. We look to share the ball. Our goal is to share the wealth.”

In the Rams’ Friday night matchup with the Career Panthers, a great SCC inter-divisional battle ensued with Cheshire falling short by three points.

The Rams were led by 16 points apiece from Brendan Clyne and Dylan D’Addio.

Heath Post kicked in 15 points and Andrew Yamin, re-turning to action from an ill-ness, was good for 12. Tyreek

Perkins of Career led all scorers with 28 points. Justin Campbell and Tyrell Eaddy added 13 apiece.

Career improved to 12-1. Cheshire fell to 8-5.

Green Dragons had gone on a 6-0 run, reducing Cheshire’s lead to 15-13. A 3-point shot by Davis cut Hamden’s deficit to 20-19 with 1:52 left in the first half.

The half ended with a Ci-ara Haensel offensive re-bound and layup and a layup by Como for a 24-19 lead at the break.

Cheshire began to pull away at the start of the third quarter, but Hamden re-sponded. The Rams brought a 39-33 lead into the fourth quarter on an O’Donnell buzzer-beating layup.

Once again, though, the Rams made their move as the period opened, and once more Hamden refused to give in. Cheshire led by 53-36 mid-way through the fourth quar-ter before the Green Dragons’ final push.

“We struggled on the de-fensive boards,” Stekloff said. “My tallest player is 5-7, 5-8. We couldn’t stop them con-sistently [from getting offen-sive rebounds]. We couldn’t get rebounds when we needed to.”

Stekloff said the seven turnovers Hamden made in the first half — most of which came as the Rams were carv-ing their 9-0 lead — were costly.

“A lot of those turnovers were bad — they led to Cheshire layups or to two points for Cheshire,” he said. “What you saw in the first quarter is that we got stuck, we started slow. But we held our composure. Basically, we played from behind for the whole game. We couldn’t get over the hump.”

Mik was impressed that Cheshire limited Hamden sophomore Lauren Singleton to no three-pointers. She said Singleton, Davis and sopho-more Tahjai Mazyck were po-tent offensively; Mik praised the Rams’ defensive efforts on them.

Once Hamden began to rally, Mik was forced to change defensive alignments. Cheshire began in a 3-2 zone, then forced the Green Drag-ons to come out.

“Once we meshed the two [defenses], we were a much more effective team,” Mik said.
