The Cheshire High School Marching Ram Band came in first overall at the Music Of the Night Marching Band Competition hosted at Southington High School on Oct. 19. A class four band, Cheshire scored 86.5, topping two class five and a class six band, to take best overall performance. The name of the show is “New World.” It is based on Dvorak’s New World Symphony arranged by Frank Sullivan.
“The level of performance is, bar none, the best that I have ever seen,” said band par-ent Stephen Volpe.

As American as apple pie? Consider this: There were no apples for those first to ar-rive on the shores of the New World. European settlers brought them over. And al-most everything you thought
you knew about Johnny Appleseed is myth.
The story of the apple is multi-faceted. Who better to sort it out and tell the tale than apple expert and the au-thor of “America’s Apple,” Russell Steven Powell. The author held a book sign-ing and presentation at the
Cheshire Public Library on Oct. 16, accompanied by fel-low apple aficionado and Cheshire native Bar Lois Weeks, who is also the pho-tographer for his book.
“I’m still fascinated by this fruit,” said Powell, who has

All-day kindergarten, taxes and north end development were all discussed during the Town Council candidates fo-rum on Oct. 22, sponsored by the League of Women Voters.
About 70 people attended the event in the Town Council chambers.
All the candidates said they hoped taxes would not increase.
“We don’t want any tax in-creases,” said Democrat Paul Bellgamba, vying for an at-large seat. “I will work hard to shift them to commercial and retail to ease the burden.”
Incumbent at-large can-didate Republican Sylvia Nichols said she thought the taxes collected are well-spent.
“It’s been less than the rate of inflation,” Nichols said. “We’ve always kept things balanced with essentials and wants.”
Incumbent Democrat at large candidate Patti Flynn-Harris agreed sorting through need and want is the key.
“There is always a desire to have more than what is there,” she said. “There are always select, niche groups who want things and we have to balance that.”
Incumbent at-large candi-date Republican James Sima said increases have been moderate.
“We have to keep taxes moderately increasing, and we have to be prepared to limit what we can do,” he said.
Democrat at-large can-didate Dan Nowak said the town has to be fiscally responsible.
“We have to think of cre-ative ways to ease the tax bur-den,” he said.
Republican at-large candi-date Rob Oris said he’d like to see bulky waste pickup return.
“I’d like to see a good use of hard-earned dollars,” he said. “I’d like to see focused spend-ing on infrastructure.”

Some shy away from things that go boo in the night, but there’s another breed of folk attracted to scary, spooky things — like moths to light. Masters of the macabre, as well
as Masons, Eric Gunther and Jack Wenz co-chaired this year’s haunted h o u s e a t t h e Masonic Temple #16 on Country Club Road. They were prepared to have fright junk-ies to turn out in record numbers during the special event held Oct. 25 to Oct. 27.
The scare fac-tor was turned up
with a whole bunch of new ghoulish tricks and the addi-tion of Jack Wenz.
Wenz designed his own haunted house for 10 years, and enjoys creating sets, scenes and scenery, whereas, “Eric can build anything; he can build stuff
I can only dream about, he’s amazing,” Wenz said.
According to Gunther and Wenz, the scenario this year was that the old asylum was closed and it’s now been reopened as the Cheshire Asylum. “It’s open under new management,” Wenz said. “Sure, it looks nice from the outside, normal even … until you get inside and into the underbelly where you’re not supposed to be … there was the real terror.”
Many of the 25 actors, are returnees from last year, Gunther said. The actors are pulled from the ranks of the Masonic Temple members, including youth branches of the Lodge, as well as the high school and col-lege kids and the Cheshire Community Theatre.

South Brooksvale Road is scheduled to be closed to all traffic, including buses and emergency vehicles (day and night) immediately south of the Abrams Road and Cranberry Road inter-section due to bridge con-struction for three weeks, beginning Oct. 16. The clo-
sure may be extended, if necessary based upon un-foreseen circumstances.
Avon Boulevard has been extended as the de-tour route during the con-struction period. A map of the road closure and de-tour can be found at www.cheshirect.org.
Road closure Friends of Cheshire Pool urging residents to vote
The Friends of Cheshire Pool group has created a YouTube video urging resi-dents to vote for the $3.2 mil-lion pool enclosure.
Volunteers in the group want the tension membrane structure put up to make the pool a year-round facil-ity. The issue is on the Nov. 5 ballot.
“We wanted to show all the different types of people who use the pool,” said Kathy Maloney, spokeswoman for the Friends of Cheshire Pool.
The group now has 340 members on Facebook, a core volunteer group of 100 “very active” members and more than 1,000 who are on the mailing list, Maloney said.
She said that making the video was important to get-ting the group’s message out because it showed the lighter side of the pool issue, instead
of being as data-driven as the information that has been re-leased so far.
“It’s a good visual of all types of pool uses. It’s a lighter approach to the cam-paign,” she said. “It shows people doing laps, older, younger, a cross-section of the community who use the pool.”
Without a cover, the pool closed Oct. 12. Girls and boys swim teams from Cheshire High School made arrange-ments with nearby commu-nities to practice and hold meets.
“We try not to make com-ments about the issue be-cause we can’t solicit votes,” said Parks and Recreation Director Bob Ceccolini, who watched the video. “But I’m happy there’s a group out there which has taken up the cause. The group is working very hard to get out the vote.”
The $3.2 million enclo-sure “is a robust, sturdy,
reliable option that will en-sure the pool remains open to the whole community all year round,” the group said in a statement. “The video illustrates that the Cheshire Community Pool is an asset to the whole community. It is a resource that offers fitness and therapeutic activities for seniors, adults and children alike.”
Unlike the bubble-style coverings the town has pur-chased in the past, the ten-sion membrane structure can withstand winds of up to 130 mph and 50 inches of snow, according to one manufacturer.
Two bubbles have failed in heavy snows. The latest fail-ure occurred in February of this year, when 30-plus inches of snow blanketed the state.
Most of the opposition to the proposal on the ballot has come from residents in favor of a larger, more expensive enclosure.

Rides Crash kills man on scooter
A 50-year-old Southington man died Oct. 20 after the motor scooter he was riding was hit by a sport utility ve-hicle on Route 10.
Moises Larriu was pro-nounced dead at the scene shortly after 10:30 p.m. He was struck on Route 10 near the entrance to Interstate 691, said police spokesman James Fasano.
The driver of the vehi-cle that struck him, Ryan M. Scalise, 31, of 148 Dove Lane, Middletown, was charged with second-degree man-slaughter, driving under the influence, interfering with an officer and failure to grant right of way.
Scalise was arraigned in Meriden Superior Court on the morning of Oct. 21. His bond was set at $25,000 and he was ordered by Judge Philip Scarpellino not to drive until his next court ap-pearance on Nov. 4.
“This i s a good les-son for any-body; this is a person who allegedly drove a car intoxicated and hi t a person,” Scarpellino said. “Everybody’s worst night-mare has happened.”
Scalise was released after posting bail.
The family declined com-ment outside the courthouse.
Larriu and several other workers from Bozzuto’s were heading north on Highland Avenue after work, according to the police report.
Witnesses told police the SUV turned left onto the I-691 eastbound ramp, strik-ing Larriu and a car driven by Lourdes Ortiz, 53.
Larriu was thrown from the scooter, Fasano said. No other injuries were reported.

Area town clerks discuss new voting lawsNew laws allowing perma-
nent absentee ballot status and the ability to register to vote on Election Day will al-low voters some added con-venience at the polls.
In the past, voters with a disability had to apply for an
absentee ballot every year. Now, with a doctor’s note confirming a permanent physical disability, voters will only have to apply once.
“From here on out, absen-tee ballots will automatically be mailed to a person [every year],” said Carol Skultety, Plainville town clerk.
“The best thing about it is
for somebody who is phys-ically handicapped,” Berlin Town Clerk Kathryn Wall said.
“This allows those people to apply for absentee ballots once,” said Leslie Cotton, Southington town clerk. Otherwise, “every time you want an absentee ballot you need to apply. Your applica-tion doesn’t last for a year.”
There are six reasons one can obtain an absentee ballot in the state. They include be-ing out of town during voting hours, an illness, and actively serving in the Armed Forces.
“It eliminates a step for the voter,” said Cheshire Town Clerk Carolyn Soltis. “It’s a time-saver for them; anything we can do to make the pro-cess easier.”
North Haven Town Clerk J. Stacey Yarbrough said the new law is great, and should
be taken advantage of by vot-ers who have a permanent physical disability. “I think it’s a great development,” Yarbrough said.
“I think it’s very effective and very useful once we get past the stage of everyone getting their (doctor’s) let-ter,” said Barbara Thompson, Wallingford town clerk.
Getting the word out is another story, however. Skultety said there haven’t been any individual efforts in Plainville to get the word out. Yarbrough said she uses any chance she can, be it through word of mouth or postings at Town Hall.
“With any new law, a lot of people don’t find out about it right away,” Yarbrough said.
Election Day registration will also allow any person eligible to register to vote on Election Day through the
registrar of voters for his/her town.
Yarbrough said town clerks would be the ones registering voters, but now, that respon-sibility will go to registrars for Election Day registration.
“I think it’s great, I think it’s gonna be a little confusing in the beginning like any other change,” Yarbrough said, “but very useful for people who aren’t currently regis-tered, so they don’t become disenfranchised.”
So far, Cheshire and Southington have each re-ceived two permanent absen-tee ballots.
Absentee ballots are avail-able through town clerk offices.
Election Day is Tuesday, Nov. 5.

Some Town Council meet-ings in the last year have become acrimonious, with Republicans and Democrats more than merely sitting on opposite sides of the table.
The issue of heated ex-changes between Democrats and Republicans came up during a recent League of Women Voters candidate fo-rum. Republicans hold a 6-3 majority on the council.
“I really think this group is not great at hearing new ideas, so people don’t feel comfortable talking,” said Councilor Michael Ecke, a Democrat. “It makes me feel marginalized.”
Some councilors think the solution is more of a willing-ness to compromise.
“Both sides need to en-gage each other,” said Ecke. “Things are better when ev-erybody works together.”
“Everybody has particular issues that are important to them,” said Councilor Sylvia Nichols, a Republican.
“But after all is said and done, we all have to listen to everybody on the board. We’ve got to work together to come to solutions. I’m not always right. I need to com-promise sometimes,” Nichols said.
Republican Councilor David Schrumm said he doesn’t think infighting is a problem.
“I think this is the most be-nign council in the last two, maybe four years,” Shrumm said. “I don’t think it’s con-tentious at all.”
He agreed there are differ-ences between the parties.
“We have our funda-mental philosophical dis-agreements,” he said. “The minority side always says ‘they don’t listen to us.’ But it is when things are brought up at the last minute that dis-agreements come up.”
Democrat Patti Flynn-Harris disagreed.
“I am very concerned about the lack of civility,” she said. “The public doesn’t even see us in executive session where there is raising of voices and slamming of hands on the table.”
Ecke and Schrumm prob-
ably have the most heated debates. Council Chairman and Mayor Tim Slocum and Nichols often serve as mediators.
“I want to give everybody an opportunity to say what they have to say,” said Slocum, a Republican. “My job is to not let rancor run amok.”
Nichols said she worries that the rancor sometimes obscures the truth.
“When people are pas-sionate, we have to look at the facts,” she said. “Take the emotion and personal issues out of it.”
D e m o c r a t i c To w n Councilor Peter Talbot said even when councilors ve-hemently disagree on a par-ticular issue or issues there needs to be an underlying ci-vility so that once a decision has been made everyone can work for what is best for the community.
“From my perspective, we need a little more respect for each other,” Talbot said.
But Talbot added that he doesn’t think the acrimony prevents the council from
completing its work.“Ultimately, does it prevent
things from getting done? I’d have to say no,” he said. “But if
councilors forget what letter comes after their name and remembered at the end we’re all residents of Cheshire, it
would work much better.”

Apple
worked for the New England Apple Association for more than a decade and whose grandparents grew apples in Massachusetts.
Powell explained that early day settlers to America brought apple sc ions (branches) that were used to cultivate the fruit. “You cannot grow a true variety from seed—you can’t plant a Macintosh seed and get a Mactintosh,” he said. It just doesn’t work like that. “You need a second variety,” Powell said. And that “means we keep getting new varieties to this day, and some are just found in the wild.”
In the wild, primordial ap-ple forests of Kazakhstan ap-ple trees are as tall as oaks and stand to this day. At one time, America’s apple trees would also have been much taller than what we see in our mod-ern orchards. Technology has advanced to allow for smaller dwarf trees, intensive plant-ing and bigger yields.
Along with its history, Powell’s apple talk included
the pomology, or science of the fruit, as well as informa-tion on marketing, and farm-ers who own and tend the orchards.
Several apple-breeding pro-grams are underway around the world, including one at Cornell University, and “they are working feverishly to de-velop the next super apple,” Powell said. If for instance, they develop an apple such as the newer Honeycrisp, that has a distinctive taste, “it can be profitable for years.”
The chase for something new and better might also be the reason why so many ap-ples have not continued in popularity. Powell called the apples for the evening’s pre-sentation “the elite of the heirlooms.” They have sur-vived centuries, and may only
be grown by a few orchards in New England, he said. “But they have some quality or qualities that make them ex-ceptional to this day.”
Here are some of the heir-loom apples available for the audience to sample: The Hartford sweeting was de-veloped in Connecticut, and was a very popular apple at one point. Sheep’s Nose or Black Gillyflower is from the 1700s. The appearance is un-usual and inviting, but it’s not a good apple to eat; it’s dry. A better use is for ap-plesauce or decorative use. Northern Spy was discovered in Connecticut, but New York State claims it as its own. It’s an excellent pie apple. It’s a good-sized apple and it has an excellent taste. This apple takes up to ten years before
it bears fruit, and that might be a reason why we do not see it as much. Cox’s orange pippin is a remarkable apple, orange with stripes, that’s re-galed for its flavor. It’s popu-lar in England and there is a website for it. Fans compare the pippin to a fine wine for its complex taste. Roxbury Russet dates to 1635 from Roxbury, Mass. It looks funny with its rough skin. It excels for use in cider and makes for great eating. Macintosh is New England’s most popu-lar apple. It was discovered in 1801 in Canada. Macs need the cold winters of New England so it cannot grow in the south or west. Powell considers the apple an heirloom. It has great fragrance and flavor. It is the sixth most popular apple in the country.

The steel tension structure is the right permanent solution for the Cheshire Pool. The permanent solution is a durable, reliable structure that will withstand a 50 inch snow load and up to 130 mph winds.The permanent solution will allow the pool to be open 100% of the year and increase the amount of revenue it generates.Pavilion-like roof with open sides in the Summer and sides closed in the Winter.
Or consider the consequences:• the Town will still have to spend huge amounts of money to deal
with the future of the pool• the Town will likely be forced to purchase another bubble• the cost for busing and pool rental for the high school swim teams
will come out of the education’s budget – as much as $70,000/yr. and

Fall is prime apple sea-son in New England. With four apple orchards in Cheshire, there’s an almost endless choice of apple va-rieties. From Honeycrisp to Cortland, we eat apples fresh off the tree, in our oatmeal and our salads. We put them into pies and cakes; we make applesauce, donuts and cider.
If all this talk of apples makes your mouth water, why not try a couple of our favor-ite apple recipes.
One of our picks for a lo-cal apple recipe is courtesy of Cynthia Bartoo, and it’s from “Cheshire Cooks” a compila-tion of recipes published by the Cheshire Women’s Club. This is a rustic cake, chewy and sweet, and finished with a dusting of powdered sugar and whipped cream. See the recipe below.
The second local rec-ipe for apple crisp is from Susan Hartley, Head of
Children’s Services at the Cheshire Library. She shared her low-calorie, low-sugar version as it originally ap-peared in the Cheshire Public Library’s “Cooking by the Book.”
Hartley created her rec-ipe with her diabetic and weight-conscious friends in
mind. Hartley feels the sweet-ness of the apples counter-balances the tartness of the cranberries. Hartley’s per-sonal choice for apples in this recipe is Honeycrisp; however, she urges everyone to experiment with their fa-vorites this time of year.
Apple recipes from local cooks By Joy VanderLekThe Cheshire Citizen

*You may use Splenda granulated sugar and brown sugar.

Mix brown sugar, oats, flour, one tsp cinnamon and ½ tsp nutmeg in a food processor. Use the pulse button.

Transfer apple mixture to prepared baking dish. Sprinkle topping over. Bake until apples are tender, filling bubbles and topping is crisp, 55 minutes. Serve warm.

Candidates
in the north end, Nichols re-minded the crowd that only 11 percent of Cheshire land is for commercial use.
“Land use regulations are a big part of it,” Flynn-Harris said. “To me north end devel-opment will help retail.”
Sima said to keep taxes steady, the town has to retain businesses.
“We need to take a very balanced approach,” he said.
Incumbent Town Council Chairman and Mayor Tim Slocum said the state is part of the problem.
“The state of Connecticut is now our biggest challenge,” he said. “It’s a crummy state to do business in.”
“I think the priority here is to keep businesses here,” said Nowak.
Oris said he is “supportive of targeted and well-vetted projects like the north end development.”
“We need to take advantage of our location as the center of the state,” he added.
Candidates agreed that the decision on all-day kin-dergarten, which is being considered by the Board of Education for 2014-15, is up to the school board. But the $800,000 needed to start the program is up to the council.
Flynn-Harris, Nowak and Bellagamba support all-day kindergarten, while Sima, in-
cumbent Democrat at-large Michael Ecke, Nichols and Slocum said they thought the money could be better spent elsewhere and wouldn’t want other programs eliminated.
Democrat candidate Liz Linehan, running in the 3rd District, supports all-day kindergarten.
“As the mother of three children under the age of 5, I know how early childhood learning creates lifelong learning,” she said. “But it has to be done right.”
Republican candidate Joe Falvey, also running in the 3rd District, said he also sup-ported the idea.
“It has to be done cor-rectly,” he said. “We have to look at capital expenditures and pension funding and we have to know what we are go-ing to get from the state be-fore we can allocate this kind of money.”
Fourth District candi-date Michael O’Donnell, Republican, agreed with Falvey.
“We have to look at fund-ing,” he said, “And my wife, who has been an educator for 20 years said by third grade
they’re at the same level any-way. There’s no guarantee they’re going to be any bet-ter off.”
Incumbent 4th District Democrat Peter Talbot said he supports the proposal.
“It’s an investment in the children and we cannot af-ford to wait,” he said.
“We have very significant salary contracts and commit-ments,” Ruocco said. “There’s
very little room for academic expansion.”
Matt Bowman, running in the 2nd District, supports it.
“The student population is low enough now that stu-dents can go into buildings that are already there with slight modifications,” he said. “Seventy-four percent of the state has all day kindergarten. Cheshire should stop being a follower and be a leader.”

The Cheshire Public Library has a new ser-vice: an Online Book Club that delivers books electronically. Each day, Monday through Friday, the library emails sub-scribers a portion of a book that takes about five minutes to read.
Patrons are able to read two or three chap-ters from a book during the week. They can then check it out of the library. Each week the library features new books.
With 11 book clubs from which to choose, there’s something for everyone. Patrons can choose fiction, nonfic-tion, romance, business, good news, teen, mys-tery, audio books and a PrePublication Club.

Opinion
A f e w weeks ago, I set a goal. I told myself to write a small novel — a b o u t a 50,000-word story — during the month of November.
Please realize: this is crazy. I can count the times I’ve written fiction on one hand. When I was about 12 and a fan of authors like JRR Tolkien, I tried writ-ing a grand epic. But all my efforts read eerily similar to the beginning of “The Fellowship of the Ring” — so much for originality.
In the coming weeks, I’ll fire up my old computer that carried me through college and try another fic-tion story. I plan on writing 2,000 words a day, every day, from midnight Nov. 1 to 11:59 p.m. Nov. 30. But here’s the funny thing — I won’t be the only one writing a 50,000-word novel during
November. The National Novel
Writing Month (shortened to the word ‘NaNoWriMo’) is a 15-year-old annual writ-ing challenge where par-ticipants from around the world try to write a first draft of a novel. Always held in November, the month of noveling is one of the best ways to finally get a novel’s words on the page because it’s a “powerful antidote” to novel-killing self-doubt, said Grant Faulkner, executive director of NaNoWriMo.
“NaNoWriMo is a rol-licking conversation about all aspects of writing,” Faulkner said, “and an in-vitation to dare to do what seems impossible. As many NaNoWriMo writers have discovered, the best way to learn to write a novel is by simply plunging in to write.”
The organization esti-mates half a million peo-ple from around the world will be writing novels this month. When I last checked its website about a week before Nov. 1, over 125,000 writers officially signed up.
So I’m plunging in. One popular piece of writ-ing advice admonishes to
“write what you know,” and so I’m keeping my story local. I ’m going to write a modern ad-aptation of the legend of the Black Dog of the Hanging Hills.
The story goes that a black dog haunts the hills overlooking Meriden, Conn. The first time hikers meet the dog, it’s in happiness. The second time, in sad-ness. The third time, they die.
During the coming weeks, I’ll keep you posted on writers block, coffee con-sumption, and of course, the agony and the ecstasy of creating a novel in one month.
Is anyone else partici-pating in NaNoWriMo? If so, I’d love to hear about your experiences. Who knows, I may write about your NaNoWriMo experi-ence in the paper. Contact me at [email protected].

Letters to the Editor
Book sale successTo the editor: I would like to express
our thanks to the people of Cheshire for their generous support of the Friends of the Library fall book sale. We received an amazing supply of books from individual do-nors. A dedicated group of year round volunteers was able to present “a well orga-nized, high quality book sale”. The funds raised will be used to sponsor special programs
at the library. We hope you will look for our special fea-ture book sale each month in the lobby. We will hold a spe-cial sale of “vintage” books on Thursday, March 13.
The Friends of the Library, an organization of volunteers, pays for all library program-ming and the majority of staff professional development, as well as furniture, equipment and much more.

Health
Every parent has probably had at least one child bang their head, especially as they take their first steps. First steps are followed by sports programs, recreational ac-tivities and sibling “wres-tling” matches that can often lead to a good bump or bang. Senior citizens often fall and may take a bang to the nog-gin. The problem for parents, relatives and caregivers is how to know how serious the injury is and what to do (be-sides applying an ice pack.)
Some head injuries are very severe and are called Traumatic Brain Injury. TBI causes 1.7 million deaths, hospitalizations or emer-gency room visits every year. Causes include falls, auto accidents, sports inju-ries, shaken baby syndrome and assaults. The effects of a brain injury are differ-ent from person to person and are defined by the lo-cation, type and severity of the injury. TBI is different from brain injuries that re-sult from a congenital (born with) problem or other health problem that causes degener-ation of the brain. TBI is the result of a severe blow to the
Concussion head’s upV. Deborah CulliganBSN, MPH
head (or a shaking back and forth) that causes the brain to move within the skull which causes damage to the nerves and/or brain tissue. Some TBIs are temporary with mild impairment, while others may be permanent with severe impairment. Recovery can be a very long process. They can have both physical and psychosocial components. Generally, hos-pitalization and/or rehab is required.
Signs and symptoms of a traumatic brain injury in-clude but are not limited to: Spinal fluid (thin watery liq-uid) coming out of the ears or nose; Loss of conscious-ness; dilated or unequal size pupils; vision changes; dizzi-ness, balance problems; not
breathing; not alert, unable to respond to others; paraly-sis; slow pulse; slow breath-ing; vomiting; lethargy; headache; confusion; ringing in the ears; difficulty with thinking skills; inappropri-ate emotional responses; difficulty with speech; body numbness or tingling; and/or loss of bowel control or bladder control.
A concussion is a mild traumatic bra in injury caused by a bump, blow or jolt to the head. There are millions of sports and recre-ation-related MTBIs every year, although a concussion can occur outside of the sports/recreational arena. They can occur from a fall or a blow to the body that causes the head and brain to move quickly back and forth. Most of these are not treated in a hospital or emer-

Sports
FAIRFIELD — Junior quarterback Colton Smith ran for three touchdowns to lead Fairfield Prep to a 26-0 win over visiting Cheshire Oct. 25 at Alumni Field on the campus of Fairfield University.
When the speedy signal caller wasn’t burning the Ram defense for 126 yards on 16 carries, Smith com-pleted 8-of-12 passes for 135 yards giving him 261 yards of total offense. That moved Smith over 1,000 yards in total offense for the season with 893 through the air and 447 on the ground to go along with 13 touchdowns.
The win extended Prep’s overall record to 5-2, while Cheshire dropped to 3-4 with the defeat.
“The kids played hard and the effort was great,” Chesh i re coac h Don Drust said. “That’s all we can ask for. We had some breakdowns here
and there. That’s been a prevalent theme this year. We’ll look at the film and try to straighten out our mistakes.
“That is not to take any-thing away from Prep,” Drust added. “They are big and physical. They play downhill. They have those big bodies and they lean on you. And they have a 240-pound tailback (Nick Crowle, 7 carries for 44 yards with 42 coming in the second half) in the back-field. I think we got a lit-tle tired in the second half and had trouble with our tackling.”
But it was Smith who led the Jesuits to a 12-0 halftime lead. The 6-1, 170-pound QB scored on a quarterback sneak from a yard out to give Prep a 6-0 lead with 3:32 left in the first quarter.
Midway through the sec-ond quarter Smith went through a gaping hole up the middle on a quarterback draw and outraced the Ram secondary for a 55-yard TD run.
Cheshire’s answered with a march deep into Prep ter-ritory, but the drive stalled when Jack Cunningham was stuffed by the middle of the Jesuit defense on a fourth down at the home team’s 13-yard line.
“We were right there in the ball game,” Drust said. “If we had managed to get the first down we were still in it at that point.”
Smith scored from eight yards out on a sweep off right end to extend the Jesuit lead to 20-0, after a two-point conversion pass to Crowle.
When he was not testing the Ram defense with his arm, Smith completed sev-eral passes for first downs that kept Prep drives alive. The game marked the de-but of sophomore quarter-back Troy Richmond for the Rams. The youngster com-pleted 6-of-12 passes for 63 yards.
“They had some good de-fensive linemen,” Richmond said . “They’re real ly talented.”

Commentary
As the high school football season hits the midpoint of its much too long season, it is important that the discus-sion about the dangers pre-sented by the sport continue and expand.
As yet another article in Sports Illustrated (Oct. 7. League of Denial, by Mark Fainaru-Wada and Steve Fainaru) makes abundantly clear, there no longer is any serious debate that foot-ball carries with it the real danger of life-altering and life-threatening brain injury.
The story is chilling from two points of view: 1. that the illnesses resulting from brain trauma is widespread and, 2. the National Football League took great pains to
hide and minimize the over-whelming scientific evidence that the sport is, plainly put, dangerous.
Belatedly, the NFL is put-ting more safety regulations into place in terms of both more appropriate on-scene medical care and chang-ing the rules to minimize the kinds of brain injuries that have ruined the lives of many former NFL players.
Players today are bigger, faster and stronger. The col-lisions that occur are often frightening and at times re-semble the kind of force ex-perienced in car wrecks.
There are all kinds of studies of professional foot-ball. But if the professional players are bigger, faster and stronger, doesn’t it make sense that high school kids are bigger, faster and stron-
ger? Yet where are the stud-ies of the long-term dangers to high school kids?
While the NFL, however belatedly, is taking steps to minimize dangerous sit-uations, shouldn’t we be taking a more serious look at the dangers presented to high school kids, whose bodies are still growing and developing?
It seems obvious that we must reduce the op-portunities for injury. The easiest first step is to re-duce the number of games. What we allow to happen in Connecticut high school football is outrageous.
Let me begin with this: I enjoy high school football. I enjoy watching it, I enjoy covering it, I enjoy doing the public address announcing for Middletown High and Xavier football. But I have very serious doubt that we adults are dong the right thing for kids with the way we run the sport.
Think of your hometown team. Berlin, Plainville, Cheshire, Southington and the rest. Just about every one is playing 11 regular season games this season. Add two to three preseason scrim-mages, and if your team goes to a title game, three more postseason games. Some leagues toss in a league championship game.
It might be that your kid will play 17 or 18 football games. The NFL regular sea-son is 16 games.
Wesleyan and Trinity and the rest of the New England Small College Athletic Conference play eight games. College guys. Men. They play eight games. The games start after the begin-ning of the high school sea-son and end a month before the high schools. Sensible.
Yale, Brown, Harvard and rest of the Ivy League, play 10 games. Yet high school kids play more.
Even the football fac-

The Rams got additional sub-18 minute outings from Mark Fusco (27th, 17:13), Rafael Phillips (31st, 17:18), Lucas Marcoullier (33rd, 17:19) and Steven Caldwell (53rd, 17:40) to net a seventh- place team finish.
Led by Wickenheisser’s 20:41, the Cheshire girls were eighth. Erin Stahley (45th, 21:28), Camille Lewis (60th, 21:52), Liz Cunningham (66th, 22:01) and Kim Grove (71st, 22:09) completed the scoring.

tories, the big time pro-grams like Alabama, Oregon and yes, the University of Connecticut, play a 12-game schedule, but build in two off weeks into the slate. For most Connecticut high school teams there is no week off.
Heck, even the NFL man-dates a bye week.
Then what happens at the end of the season is hard to understand. Most high school teams have a Thanksgiving Day game. If your team makes the play-offs —32 make the postsea-son— and advances, here’s what happens: Your kid will play on Thanksgiving, which almost always is the biggest, most important rivalry game of the year. Five days later, on a Tuesday, your kid will play in a first round postsea-son game. If the team wins, your kid will play Saturday —four days later— in a semi-final round game.
Do the math: your kid will play three football games in the space of 10 days. Three high-powered, pres-sure-packed games.
Nobody else does that. Not the colleges, not the NFL. No one. They don’t do it be-cause it’s dangerous. This is a contact sport. Basketball is not a contact sport. This is a
collision sport.You know kids. They will
minimize aches and pains. They want to play. They are 16, 17 years old. We need to tell them what’s good for them. Three games in 10 days is not good for them.
There is one area league that builds in off-weeks. The Pequot Conference. Every team gets an off week. But the end of its season is as frantic as it is for other teams.
Some state football coaches want more games. They want an open divi-sion where teams of any class could choose to play. That’s so we could deter-mine which team is really No. 1 in the state. Like that’s important.
That doesn’t happen in basketball, baseball, soc-cer, volleyball or softball. But some think this would be a good idea. So not only would we have the 32 teams in Classes LL, L, M and S —whose championship would instantly be a booby prize— we would have eight more teams in what would be a thoroughly watered down postseason.
Worse, these same guys came up with the absurd idea that there be a tech school division. You know,

for those schools that can’t win against other schools. Add eight more teams. Now we’re at 48. Gee fellas, why not abolish the regular sea-son entirely?
While that’s a bit of a di-gression, it is indicative of how oblivious some are to the reality that we adults are forcing kids to play too much of a dangerous sport.
Some argue injuries come in other sports. Agreed. There is always a risk of injury. Heck, my kid had shoulder problems from swimming. But there is no rule requiring a doctor and an ambulance to be at a baseball game, a soccer match, or a swimming meet. There is that rule in football. In football, injuries are an expectation.
I have had football coaches make a point of tell-ing me they agree the season is too long. I have had ath-letic directors say the same thing.
Ask winter sports coaches what a negative impact this overlong season has on their
sport. The overlapping sea-son gives kids no breaks. This year, the basketball sea-son starts a couple of days after the football champi-onship games. A kid needs a break. For heaven’s sake, these are children.
Enough.The high school football
season should be shortened to nine games. Every school should have a bye week. There should be two rounds of playoffs. Four teams in each class. Eleven games is plenty of football for kids. More than plenty.
Again. Wesleyan plays eight games. Yale plays 10 games. And these are men.
Read the scientific ev-idence about long-term football injuries. Read about NFL players whose lives were ruined. Then take a look one night at your 17-year old sleeping in his room and think about his life.
The President of the United States said if he had a son, he would not allow him to play football.
Take a long look at your football-playing sleeping son. A long look.

Concussion
gency room and most people recover without lasting prob-lems. Symptoms from a con-cussion last a short period of time for the majority of peo-ple who sustain them. You do not have to lose conscious-ness to have a concussion. Learn the signs and know what to do if a concussion oc-curs. The ABC’s of concus-sions: Assess the situation, Be alert for signs and symp-toms, and Contact a health-care professional.
Signs and symptoms of a concussion include but are not limited to: Difficulty thinking clearly, concen-trating or remembering; difficulty following conver-sations or directions; an-swers questions more slowly or repeatedly; headache; fuzzy or blurry vision; clum-siness or balance problems; sensitivity to light or noise; irritability; nervous or anx-
ious; sleep problems; feel-ing slowed down; appearing dazed or stunned; nausea or vomiting; tiredness; dizzi-ness; numbness or tingling; and/or drowsiness.
Treatment for a simple concussion (one without complications) is generally a few days of physical and mental rest. Once the symp-toms are completely gone, there can be a gradual return to normal functioning.
For a more complex con-cussion, the time frame is longer. A health care pro-vider will recommend the best treatment plan for the injury. A child may be re-quired to stay out of gym class or other sport activities for an extended time period. Certain procedures which may require anesthesia may be postponed. You need to remember that although you can’t see the injury to the brain, a concussion is an in-jury and the brain needs time
to heal. The best “treatment” is to
prevent head injuries. This can happen through the use of seatbelts, head gear (hel-mets) and other safety equip-ment and following the safety rules for each sport or recre-ational activity and playing on safe surfaces. For seniors, using walkers or canes, re-moving obstacles that cause falls (like clutter or small rugs) and wearing shoes with gripping soles can help pre-vent falls and head injuries.
