Malcayk suggested at a recent council
meeting that the town look inn the possibility
of installing a rails to trails after the

Right now, freight trains do not operate
on the tracks south of Interstate 84.
The Boston & Maine Railroad and its
parent company, Guilford Transportation,
based in Billerica, Mass., has decided
to embargo the line south of the highway.
Railroad offidals said that no train has
run on the tracks since late January.
Colin Pease, vice-presidsnt of Gnilford

CONSERVATION PANEL GETS HRST PEEK
Town to review retail projects
By ART SECONDO
arsodate editor
The Conservari m Coaumssion ts
scheduled to face one of its toughest
agendas in years next Thursday (Oct.19)
when it meets at 7:30 p.m. at town hall.
Included among the nine projects are
the two proposed retail centers on Meriden-Waterbury
Road in Milldale.
The seven commissioners will review
the proposed plans ot lobla 5onero and
BellMead Development of New Jersey
concerning their factory store outlets on
16 acre and 103,000 square feet of building,
and also the project of a Boston developer
on 16 acres and a 130,000 squarefoot
retail center.
The two projects 'which encompass
most of the remaining bminess zoned real
estate on Meriden-Waterbury, are expected
to get themost attention by the panel.
Town Planner Robert Nerney said hat
the Planning and Zomng Commtss nn
(PZC) will also resaew both projects on
Thursday, Nov. 9 at town hall The PZC
has 65 days from the fihng date of both projeers
(Oct. 17) to render deosmns.
Nemey said the conservanon comnussion
wadiuonally has concerns w th
malor protects and will focus on he discharge
system_sre d|ng oil and oil separators,
ratch basins and other pertinent
information.
"The meeong s sure to be a lengthy
one," added Nerney who said both projects
are of great pubbc interest.
Pubhcly, both prolects have met little
resistance to d te and key town officials
have indicated they support the concepts
of both proposals.
Tax Assessor Herbert Braaseh has estimated
that the two separate retail outlets
could produce more than $225,000 in
annual tax revenue.
Although speeulanon conunues that
the project of Great Island Development
Co. of Boston includes the nationallyknown
WaI-Mart chain, Nerney said the
mystery.
The proposed 30 factory outlet stores
would be a joint venture of the Soriero
family which has owned Belle Camperland
on the prop bsed site since 1982.
Both projects are scheduled to beg n
construction in early 1996 if approvals are
granted.
Pope John Paul II captivates local residents
By ROBIN L. MICHEL
• Though "Patrick Baker's religious
supplies business was responsible for
Pope John Paul H's vesunents and chalice,
the local resident never even thought
about these contribunons as he watched
the pope at two events last week. "That
was all forgotten. I never thought of that.
When in his presence, material things go
out of mind," Bak said, about the leader
of the Roman Catholic church.
"It was quite a feebng. It bnngs you
closer to e Lord. He is the vicar of
Christ, the closest one to the Lord. To be
in his presence did something to us."
On Friday, Baker and his nfe Patricia

Yonkers, New York, to see the pope bless

been ordered from Pamck Baker & Sons

Brief but

By ART SECONDO
It was one f the shortest Town
Councal meeungs in the last two years but
the abbrevmted agenda still was a cosily
one: • A confirmed malfunctioning town
meter at Spnng Lake Village ended up
w th a $6,400 sewer charge rebate to condo
owners.
•Addi onal design work for the $2
nullion Mount Vernon road reconstruction
project forced the council to approve
an additional $16,000.
• And, the routine reading of tax rebates
appeared to be higher than usual,
prompang one councilor to remark, "Can
we add those figures up?" The rebates
were approximately $800 and are usually
the result of miscalculations by property
owners or ove'tpayments.
The council was told that residents of
S nfig Lake "vqllage had been billed improperly
from 1985 to 1993 for sewer
charges. The total bill was $9,82136 but
should have been only $3,3q8.39, accordtng
to Superintendent of the Water Department
Gil Bhgh. A water meter was

SAFETY CONCERNS
The vice president of "Ideal

Andrew J. Meade regarding his
concern about traffic near the facility.
John Russo stated in a letter

Stronz about motorists using
tory Square as a shortcut to Center
Street.
"Cars often pass our facility
"They are a well-researched

One of the prima needs of
the school board is to i.ncrease
communication with the superintendent
and the public. People
feel their opinion doesn't count,"
Platt-Suski said. "The key is
communication. I'm nat sure this
has been done in the past."
As she has campaigned door

Zoning commission betrayed neighborhood
To the editor:.
We were not only sold down the river,
but had the dam bldwn up which
sucked up all the water.
That's what happened to our citizen.s,
.our townspeople, our neighbors, our taxpayers,
our neighborhood. That's what
happened to the Chaffee Lane residents.
But why should it bother you? It's
not near your home. But when you speak
up when it hits your neighborhood, will it
be too late?
I quote Linda Faulkner, They're just
going back to their homes in their nice
neighborhoods." And not to worry,
there's not much the community can do
to reverse the (Planning and Zoning)
commission's decision. I say hogwash.
Who does our town belong to? Five peo-
pie who ram it down our throats? No
way, no how. Never mind a petition in
one neighborhood, have a petition going
on every street comer in town and make
this a town issue.
Apparently the PZC is two-faced,
promising one thing and showing their
fangs and doing a reverse. Why? What
was their motive to favor an out-of-town
developer against the will of the people?
Whom are they supposed to represent?
And the best part of this outrage is
that no p.hns were pres.entedpn what..
kind of building will be built tile'&.
What good are zoning laws when
they can be changed by the whim of a
few? Remember, when you don't speak
up, these things can happen to you, your
neighborhood, your town. Our town.
So, people ortChaffee Lane, fight the
.system, get the people n our town to joxn
your -- our -- fight to protect all of our
rights.
Voice your opimons, support your
fellow citizens, make noise, get a whole
town petition going.

When I graduated with the Class of
1995, I resolved m remember Southington

I was proud of all the accomplishments

School.
Now in my first weeks at Harvard
University, I find that my gratitude is not
diminished, but increased. I have been
able to enjoy detailed courses of an advanced
level due to t e sul d preparauon I
received in high school.
In one course here, I am in the minority
not only as freshmen but as an

In a special seminar course, I am one
of eight students who were chosen by the
professor on the basis of interest, preparation,
and personal interview. When Harvard

I am thank.tiff that Soothingtun High

These personal interests are my most

Inspirational tour makes Scandinavian sojourn special J
- :EN DIMAURO
family living editor
Plantsville resident Nellie E Shepard
found the sojourn that recendy took
her to Scandinavia particularly inspiring,
including getting the chance to see
the variety of ancient homes of worship
in Norway, Sweden and Denmark.
The tour group, made up of Christiaus
primarily from the northeast, flew
out of Logan Airport in Boston, Mass.
Sept,- llfor 12days. She pointed out
one memorable and exciting spiritual
event was when the group got to do its
own"service at one of t_he Lutheran
churches in Laerdal, Norway.
SOJOURN
FROM
SOUTHINGTON
Bob d'Entremonh a member of the
grnnp,-was a minister4rmn e e
Cod area. Shepard said he preached the
service about appreciating the 23rd
Psalm in the Bible. ( The lord is my
sbepherd... ) Shepard said sl e
the part about me green pastures to be
especially poignant in rural Norway
with its abundance of lush, green fields.
She said she always wanted to visit
Scandinavia. This particular tour began
in Germany. That was a bonus. The
tour driver, who was Dutch, u-ansported
Shepard and 15 others in a hrge comfortable
hus. On the individual legs on
the" journey, the group also traveled by
ferry. "The bus went more than 2,000
miles," Shepard explained, noting she
particularly enjoyed the camaraderie.
On this trip, Shepard travded with
her good friend, Della Phifield, a resident
of Dorcester, Mass. "It's always
good to room with someone you know,"
Shepard.said, noting the two get along
' The one thing that stuck out about
the countries was that some landmarks
were much older than here in the U.S.
The churches especially were constrncred
much earlier than the oldest
ones in this country. In Germany, the
group got to visit St. Michael's Church
in Hamburg. The historic place of wor-

ship sported a 439-foot tower. A itave
church they saw in Borgund, Norway
was made out of wood and was built in
1150, nearly 900 years ago.
Shepard marveled about the condition
of the building. Apparently, the earpenters
stripped the bark off of towering
pines and let the trees continue to grow
for t0 years, so the sap would permeate
the wood and make it tougher.
She also the building has vesnges of
pagan beliefs, including large dragons
along the roof hoe The large lizards
were in contrast to the Chrisuan cross al-

so affixed to the top of the building, she
said.
Shepard said that the Lutheran
Church serves as the state church in the
Scandinavian countries. Taxes collected
o to
here.
The people of the countries were
very friendly. At one pmnt i'n Norway,
Shepard and Phifield were standing in a
long line at a restaurant. A lady motioned
that she had saved a place fur the two
women. "I was dumbfounded," Shepard
pointed out, adding the lady was very
hospitable and stayed with them to talk
about the town they were in. Shepard
said she'd like to think she'd do the same
for a tourist visiting Sunthington.
Shepard also had the chance to ws t
Lillehammer, the site of the last winter
Olympic games. Several structures still
exist from the world games, including the
ski jump and several buildings.
Shepard said she kept a diary on the
trip. She also noticed how the people of
the countries liked m ode b cycles along
paths made specifically for that kind of
transport. In the big c ues, bikes would
be everywhere. "And the children wore
their protective helmets," she explained.
The Swedes especmally liked to bike, because
the land there is more flat that the
other ceuntries. In addition, she was in
awe of the fine public tr'anspor tion
system, including trains that arrived on
time. Gasoline prices were very
high," she said.
She also said the Swedes were inautomobiles,
including the Saab and Volvo.
Shepard noted the drivers liked to
whiz about the roads with their powerful
automobiles. In Sweden, much like
the famed Autobahn in Germany,
there ts no speed limit.
Every day life in Sweden is extremely
expensive, Shepard said. For
example, a hamburger, fries and soft
drink cost about $7 at a Burger King
there. When she and Della ate two
small pizzas at a Pizza Hut, they were
billed $30. All of the countries use different
derivations of the Kroner.
Shepard particularly bkes traveling
now that she s semi-retired. For more
than 30 years, she was a chemistry,
physics and math teacher at Sunthington
High School.
She likes to stay active and enjoys
tutoring youngsters. She is a member
of several mvic groups, including the
Daughters of the Hannah Woodruff
Chapter of the American Revolunon
(DAR), the Southington Woman's
Club and the Apple Valley Sihgles.
Local historian leaves no stone unturned in cemetery research
By KAREN A. AVITABILE
for The Ob raer
Many people who recandy attended a
tour at Oak Hill Cemetery were surprised
to learn that Southingtun had slaves many
years ago.
It's interesting that people had slaves
back in town here," said Barbara Andres
of Southinston. "
And many of those slaves are buried
at the cemetery, according to a local historian
who conducted the tour through the
Oak Hill Cemetery on Sept. 24, pointing
out gravestones ofparticular historical and
de nterest
Dan Cuffwas a slave who belonged to
Nathanid Judd. Judd was a local man who
operated a tavern locally for about 25
yca said Elizabeth Kopec, a local attorney
who has ednca ed hersdfon aspects of
the history implldt in gravestones, particularly
in Southin b an. She added that
Cuff died a free man at the age of 50 in
1802.
"All blacks buried here in Southington
were buried in this area," she said, as
the crowd stood in a panlcolar section of
the cemetery.
Slaves in town weren't the only hing
more than 150 people learned about on
the tour, the second one in two years organized
by Kopec.
"A husband who had a wife declared
her a witch and then married his housekeeper,"
Walter Olson of Southington
said he learned on the tour.
Under cl ar, sunny skies, Kopec enlightened
her audience of stories about
people buried in Oak Hill Cemetery, one
of the oldest burying grounds in town.
It was Knpecb second tour. Wtthin a
month, Kopec said her four volumes of
gravestone history have been bound. The
information will be available at Soothington
Public Library, local school librsdes,.
the Connecticut Historical Society, and
the state librsr ,
Mary Barnes was the woman accused
of win:hcrak, imprisoned, and hanged because
she wouldn't admit to it, Kopee said.
After she was hanged, her husband marrie
lhis.hausekeeper, she said.
Divorce was rarely heard of long ago,
Elizabeth Kopec, "who has researched the history o[ Oak Hill Cemetery, talks to interested
crowd at recently-held tour. ,,. , ,,- , ,.,,, ,
Kopec said Samuel Andrews divorced his
wife who had one of h s children, martied
a widow and had 10 more children.
He died March 20, 1832.
Many people, including Antoinette
Wilcox, who are buried in the cemetery,
died of consumption, another word for toberculosis.
Others died from accidental
deaths including one woman whose
skirt caught on fire when she was cooking,
Kopce explained.
The history from gravestone to
gravestone was instrumental in shaping
Southington, which was in.qorporated as a
town in 1779. Some gravestones, including
that of Charles Lewis, are older than
the town.
Lewis, who died at age 21 on S.ept.
18, 731, has the oldest sus iying stone in
the cemetery, according to Kopec.
But the stone of Mary Prindle is nn
longer there, "It not here anymore since
the last tour," Kopec said. "She had the
best dcathshead I've seen on any stone.
don't know wh ge the stone Went but it's
gone." '
A dcathshead is a head that look like a
skull that is depicted oh the stohe, she
said. Kopec added that stones w th pinwheels
represent everlasting life.
Many gravestones are determrating
very fist, she pointed out. Gad Andrews,
who is buried in the cemetery, spent a lot
of time doing stone h story and recorded
his findings.
"He was qmte a town historian,"
Kopee said.
Gad was the son of Luman Andrews,
a farmer who tried to start a comb factory
but failed. Kopee explained that Luman
Andrews later bought her house at 46
Andrews Street, then called East Mountain
Road, in 1818 and discovered blue
limestone in the backTard. He eventually
began selling it and became one of the
richest men in Southmgton.
Gad Andrews' son, also named
Luman, was the founder of the Botanical
Society in Connecticut and a founder of
the Grange.
Brownstone frmn nearby Portland,
Conn., was the cholc
stones which has held up well over the
years, she said. But it "fell out of vogue"
around 1800 to make room for marble.
Marble, though, was a poor choice of
stone because it has worn away the names
on many gravestones today, Kopec said.
"Probably m my ome half of them will be
gone," she said.
Grahi :e became fashionable at the
ram of the'century.
Only two people buried in the cemetery
have a footstone. The second wife of the
Rev.. Jeremiah Curtis has a footstone
which was placed at the foot of where she
was buried, Kopec sa d. It has since been
moved to the side to allow mowers to do
their lobs.
Bodies were usually buried facing east
One of two ble stones at the cemetery
is for Seth Lewms, she said. These
monuments are supposed to resemble an
altar.
A b g stone commemorating the first
meeting house in town, from 1726 to
1757 can soil be een at the cemetery. It s
also meant to serve as a memorial to the
Revolunonary War sol&ers. The meeting
house was later moved downtown, Kopec
said.
Several soldiers are buried in the
cemetery. Richard Erbe was a soldier in
the War Between the States and is one of
seven German imrmgrants from
Southington buried in the cemetery. He
survived the war and was honorably discharged,
Kopec sa d.
Another man, Samuel S. Woodruff,
enlisted himself n the Ciwl War as a captain
when he was 51 after going on a gold
rush w th his brother, Harvey, in 1849.
Samuel was honorably discharged. He
d ed at age 70 on Sept. 29, 1882, Kopee
said.
Many wcait y Tn 'n-also lived in town,
including Dr. Henry Skilton who owned a
mdl, a boarding house, and practiced
medicine. His three children are buried in
the cemetery, Kopec explained.
Samuel Woodruff, a founding colonial
father of Southington, is buried in the
cemetery. He and his mfe had' 12 children
of which 11 survived, Kopec said, adding
it was unusual for so many children to live.

The past fe ,/- years,
DeMello has gotten the opportunity
to see the legends of
rock 'n roll in concert. He has
met Shirley Alston Reeves of
The Shirelles and Jay Siegel,
the man whose high falsetto
voice is featured on the song,
"The Lion Sleeps Tnnight. ,
During the first concert in
1993, J.T. Carter and The
Crests brought down the house
with 1950s hits such as "16
Candles."
For DeMello, who is pre -
dent of the Ches.hire police
Union, the good times will
continue to rock ('n roll) as
has lined up a concert Saturday,
Oct. 14 featuring Johnny

Papule and Sanders lead in victory over Bristol Eastern
By SHERRI ICOIAS,
staff riter
Although Southington lost to
Cheshire last week 38-14 with first-year
quarterback Haqk Papule-and tailback
Dashan Sanders at the helm, the Blue
Knights forged ahead to victory over
Bristol Eastern l riday with a score of
36-13 at Muzzy Field in Bristol.
With what seemed like a losing batde
in the first half, turned around for
the Blue Knights in the second half as
sophomore quarterback Papule tossed
two touchdowns to Daryl Yarm lovich
,foe the wlnninl game. Tailback Dashan
Sanders whose speed put a crunch on
the Lancers rushed168 yards and two
TDs on 16 carries.
"In spite of the Cheshire game,
Hank played a good game, said SHS
coach Jude Kelly. "He's earned the respect
of the rest of the players. He works
very hard and is a consistent player and
its beginning to show. Hank will mature
each week as he gains more experience.
A touchdown by Sanders in the tint
half was a result of a fumble by Eastern
as he ran the ball 25 yards and provided
the Knights with a temporary lead. Tony
Marfinez intercepted the ball from the
Lancer's QB Lance Lavore but Eastern
shordy retrieved it back when Martinez

battle in the first haiti turned
around for the Blue Knights in
the second half...
fumbled it at the SHS 15. Lavore then
scored to give Eastern their last lead of
the evening 13-10 at halftime.

Multi-talented Sanders proves marketable

Multi-talented is the key for
Southington High School's quarterback
Dashan Sanders. Is he
quarterback, tailback, running
back, or cornerback? Last year,,
Sanders was tailback whose versatitiwwill

quarterback and cornerback.
Thel6-year-old senior and
son of Janet and Frank Sanders
also rims the 100 meters in track.
Last season was his first year in
track and hopes that it will increase
the speed he needs for
football.
Sanders has been playing
football since the age of six. He
went from playing flag to midget
football at the Recreation Park
playing for the Broncos in the
positions of running back and
cornerback.

At DePaolo Middle School
Sanders played quarterback for

Toby O'Hara as quarterback. To
replace Sanders as tailback this

against the more experienced
Rockets!
This season Sanders will be
using his talents as quarterback
and will also play defensive back
and is the only Blue Knight twoway
player. Being a versatile
player is what makes Dashan so
marketable to the colleges," said
SHS cuaeh Jude Kelly. He is on
the track team which enchances
his speed wl icl/is atafent that
colleges look at."
Dashan's not only good on
the field but he has been preparing
himself by taking college
preparatory courses and with a
strong GPA (3.3), he certainly
has become strong recruitment
material," Kelly added. "He not
only is involved in sports but is
involved in other school related
activities such as the yearbook."
Tbe best game I remember
was last year's Thanksgiving
game against New l iltain " said
Sanders. "We hadto win the
game in der to go to the state
championship and we did but unfortunately
we lost the state's to
Hartford Public, 22-7."
Sanders states he is very
competitive and likes to win all
the time, at anything. "I need to
improve as tailback," explained
Sanders. "When I run, I dance
around too much before going
straight through. I need to follow
my lilocker and charge through
without thinl ing about it first
and hit the hole barder."
On off-season, Sanders will
work out to increase his size and
speed. Running and lifting
weights will be the two main centers
of concentration for him. "I
prefer to run around the streets
ol posed to the track," he said. I
feel its more of a challenge especially
if Em going uphill. I also
work out in the high school
weight room or Gold's Gym.
College plans are definitely
ahead for Sanders but where is

During one of n many trips
to Southington High School, I
was outside waiting for some of
the sports teams to come out and
practice. I was was a little early
and decided to wander around the
fields.
In doing so, I came across a
physical education class. Much m
my amazement, they were handling
a bow and arrow. I was awed
at seeing these archers pulverize a
=Kids take this as a class because
it's a fun activity," said physical
education teacher Mrs. RicdO.
=Some r ally get f ta it wh' re
the' WRI continue it later on. Not
everyone is slated for a contact
sport' so this is perfect."
The use of the bow and arrow
for warfare and hunting dates back
to prehistoric times. The anciert
Egyptians and Greeks practiced
recreational archery and later in
the 16th century, the English followed.
In the United States, the bow
and arrow had been the primary
weapon for Native Americans and
it wasn't until 1879 that the first
archery groups were formed in
Philadelphia and The National
Archery Association was founded.
The object of the game is

Kassey wins four first place medals
By SHERRI KULAS
To 1 I-year-old Tara Kassey, horses
are not just animals you see on television,
magazines or at equestrian shows. She
has been riding and showing horses since
she was seven years old.
Kassey who has owned her own
horse for a year, eight-year-old Chantilly
Lace" (Tilly), not only walks, trots,
and canters her horse but also jumps.
Entering the Terryville Country Fair
in the Horse Show Sept. 16-17, was one
of several for Kassey as she walked and
trotted away with four ribbons. Unfortunately
she could not ride Tilly because
Tilly had an injury. Ks a result, she per-
formed on Moonshine Special,"
ipated against six others in different
classes. In class 3, she won fl t place for
WalkfFrot Equitation; class 7, she placed
first in Walk-Trot Hunter Under Saddle;
class 10, first place in Walk-Trot Pleasure
which was done as a group.
In class 20, Kassey placed first in
Walk-Trot Equitation in which horse
and rider go over jumps; class 16, second
place in Walk-Trot Trail in which horse
and rider cross bridges, walk around
poles, walk around in a circle and other
patterns.
R ssey who is an h nor roll student
in the sixth grade at DePaolo Middle
School said, aI really like miimals, especially
horses. When I was even years

Town Clerk Leslie Cotton,
who is seeking re-election, has
mailed letters to 2,700 licensed
dogs in Southington asking them
to remind their owners of the improvements
she has made in dog
licensing procedures during the
two years she has been in office.
C.otton, a Republican, instited
a license renewal process
through the mail and a Top Dog
contest which selects the top ten
licensed dogs in town at random
for tags each year. Dog licenses

"Needless to say, the target is
very challenging," said Pocock.
Participants in three ositio.ns,
prone, sitting and standing or offhand,
must shoot ten rounds. A
perfect score for each team member
is 300-30X.
Marksmen can only use a
Colt-produced AR- 15
SporterFFarget rifle for the competition.
Though the Colt Cup was
awarded on Oct. 1, the Southington
officers were unable to attend
because of the Apple Harvest Festival
Parade. Pocock was notified
of the results by team coach John
Kallenbach.
Trophies will be formally presented
at the team's annual dinner
scheduled for Sunday, Nov. 26 at
the Aqua Turf Chib.
During the last five years,
they have won four National Rifle
Association national excellence
wards, a citation from the State
of Connecticut General Assembly,
and a proclamation from the
Town of Southington, as well as
the five national Colt Cup trophies.
The rifle team is sponsored
by many local organizations ineluding

Heating season prompts
carbon monoxide alert
By ROBIN L. MICHEL
staff riter
More fire deaths occur from
carlton monoxide than from any
other toxic gases or smoke, said
firefighter John Aldieri, speaking
on behalf of the Southingtun F'ae
Fighters Local 2033.
Each heating season, the risk
of injury or even death, from carbon
monoxide poisoning increases.
The local fire depamnent has
been responding to an increasing
amount of calls each year, said Assistant
Fire Chief Richard Mc-
Donough. Since January, firefighters
have responded to more than
120 calls, he said.
Carbon monoxide is a colorless,
odorless gas present with every
fire. The poorer the ventilation
and the more inefBcient the
burning, the greater the quantity
of the poisonous gas formed.
The Consumer Product Safety
Commission" recommended last
year that at least one carbon
may be responsi.ble for the health
problems.
When the blood hemoglobin
combines with carbon monoxide,
available oxygen is excluded,,
crowding oxygen from the blood.
Concentrations of carbon monoxide
in the air higher than .05 percent
can be dangerous, guidelines
state, and if levels are greater" than
1 percent, the victim may not be
able to respond.
People who may be at higher
risk include unborn babies, infants,
senior citizens and people with
coronary or respiratory problems.

The Observer to complain about
the lack of any directional signs,
the newspaper was unsuccessful in
reaching the center by telephone.
There's no number for any
such testing center. We have
phone numbers for others but not

After listening to several taped
messages abont times and fees, the
and near-tragedies have been reported
nationwide and increased
public awareness, McDonough
said.
Symptoms of carbon monoxide
poisoning can be mistaken for
the flu and include headaches, fatigue,
nausea, and dizzy spells. If
all household members are feeling
ill, or symptoms become better
when away from the home, it is
possible that carbon monoxide
alarm sound s vesal chirps per
minute. An intermittent chirp,
much like a smoke detector, signals
a low battery.
The combination battery and
sensor has a shelf life of two years
but may be damaged or require
earlier replacement if exposed to
high levels of the gas.
