CowPots offer agreener way to garden,

and that’s no bullBy Julie Sopchak

The Plainville Citizen

As spring pokes its headout of the ground in the up-coming warmer months, gar-deners are getting ready toplant their gardens.

Amanda Freund of Fre-und Farms was at PlainvillePublic Library on March 12to talk about her family’sEarth-friendly alternative toplastic or peat planting pots,CowPots.

As far as planting goes,traditional planting potsmade of peat or plastic arean acceptable norm, butCowPots are a biodegrad-able, nature-friendly solu-tion to some of the strugglesthat come along with suchpots, like tangled roots orbroken plastic shells thatleave an unfriendly carbonfootprint.

The secret to CowPots?They’re made out of cow ma-nure.

Vicki Scott, vice presidentof Friends of the PlainvillePublic Library, approachedFreund about coming to thelibrary. She heard about thepots through the late DennisChapman, brother-in-law toWilliam Petit of the PetitFamily Foundation. Thepots, she said, will be used ina fundraiser for Michaela’sGarden for Mother’s Day.

“I researched them, wentup and met Amanda, had atour of the farm, met thecows, fell in love with them,and we’re here,” Scott said.

While the idea to makepots out of manure maysound a bit disagreeable, thepots don’t omit the heavy,nauseating stench that does

Plainville Town Council unanimously ap-proved to recommend the proposed budgetfor fiscal year 2014, which has the lowest in-crease since 1991 at 1.21 percent.

Council Chairwoman Kathy Pugliese saidwith all hopes, the budget will pass on thefirst round of voting, set for Tuesday, April30, at the Plainville Firehouse.

“In the days I’ve done this, I don’t remem-ber seeing anything coming in at this leveland maintain our services and with schoolsgetting a lot of things done,” Pugliese said.

The Board of Education budget was pro-posed at an increase of .987 percent. Voters

will be able to vote on the town governmentand education budgets separately.

The council also heard the official recom-mendation from the Old Linden StreetSchool Study Committee on what to do withthe building, which is attached to the activeLinden Street School.

The committee, led by Tom Arcari Sr., rec-ommended the building be demolished, afterscrupulous and thorough consideration forall options.

Arcari was not present at the council meet-ing to present the committee’s findings, butTown Manager Robert E. Lee gave a briefsummary of the report, explaining no groups

Dennis Chapman, Michaela’sGarden Project founder, diesBy Eve Britton

Special to The Citizen

Dennis Chapman, 66, hus-band of Johanna PetitChapman and brother-in-lawof Dr. William Petit Jr., diedunexpectedly at hisPlainville home March 15.

Dr. Petit Jr. was the solesurvivor of a brutal 2007home invasion robbery andmurder in Cheshire. Hiswife, Jennifer Hawke-Petit,and two daughters, Hayleyand Michaela, were killed.

Dennis Chapman washeavily involved in the PetitFamily Foundation and wasthe founder of Michaela’sGarden Project. The gardenproject was started after

family members went to thecharred remains of thehome to salvage what theycould of the family’s belong-ings and the garden wasfound with 11-year-oldMichaela Petit’s favoriteflowers, four o’clocks.

The flowers were dug upby Dennis Chapman, takento his home in Plainville andreplanted, according to Jo-hanna Chapman. For thepast three years, under Den-nis Chapman’s guidance, thefour o’clocks have been re-planted from seeds harvest-ed from the original plants.With the aid of volunteers,about 5,000 plants have beenproduced from the originalgarden and the seeds from

those plants are sold in pack-ets as a fundraiser for thefoundation. Now, those seedsare planted all over the state,country and even overseas,his wife said.

Monday, the family wasdealing with the loss of notjust an instrumental part ofthe foundation, but a familymember.

“I don’t think I have thewords to describe the loss,”said Chapman’s father-in-law, William Petit Sr. “He isthe one who came up withthe idea for the garden, madethe program, and circulatedit throughout the state.”

Plainville resident given seat on CPA Board of DirectorsBy Julie Sopchak


LaResse Harvey has beengiven thechance to helpan organiza-tion thathelped her asa newly-se-lected mem-ber of theC o m m u n i t yPartners inAction Board of Directors.

A Plainville resident, Har-vey has experience with theorganization as a client, us-ing counseling and otherservices to help her re-adjustto society after being incar-cerated for five-and-a-halfyears from 1993-99.

“It was one thing that I al-ways promised that when Igot out, I wasn’t coming back

in,” Harvey said. “But I wasgonna do what I can to helpas many people as possiblefrom going in and those whoare in there still and whenthose people come home thatit’ll be easier for them.”

Harvey’s incarcerationhappened when, on her 21stbirthday, she was attacked byan assailant. In self-defense,Harvey stabbed and killedthe girl. After being released,she became involved withthe CPA during her six-month probationary period.Currently she works at ABetter Way Foundation as di-rector of strategic relations.

“Pretty much we’re help-ing people who are formerlyincarcerated, [and] prevent-ing people from ever becom-ing incarcerated who havesubstance abuse and mentalhealth issues,” Harvey said.

The CPA works with a sim-ilar objective, to help clientsdevelop skills that can betranslatable to their re-entryto society after incarcera-tion.

Maureen Price-Boreland,executive director for the

CPA, said Harvey hasevolved into someone whodoes a lot of communitywork. With similar interests,Price-Boreland and Harveyhad crossed paths throughtheir respective foundations.

“LaResse has a good bal-

ance I think in understand-ing the passion and compas-sion in part of providingservices in this area,” Price-Boreland said.

She added that he was al-ways a farm boy at heart,“you could never take thefarm out of him.”

The reason he startedMichaela’s Garden Projectwas because “he wanted away to keep her spirit going,”she said.

“One of the biggest hur-dles that we have overcome isthe fact that it doesn’t smelllike manure,” Freund said.“And that was a big deal be-cause nobody wants to touchsomething that smells bad.”

Aside from odor issues,the pots pose an amicablegardening solution, beingbio-degradable, all-natural,organic – all the “popularbuzz words,” as Freund putit.

beat around the bushes tomake those words work,that’s exactly what we areand what we’re doing,” shesaid.

When compared to plantsplanted in a peat pot, Freundpointed out the biggest differ-ence was how the roots grewoutward in a CowPot, as op-posed to getting all bunchedand tangled up in the peatpot. Additionally, the potsadd nutrients to the soilaround it and help the plantgrow larger in comparison.

Freund said her family hadto adjust to a sharp learningcurve with selling the pots,never having to market any-thing before. Initially, shesaid they considered namingthem “Poo Pots,” but decided

that may not bode well in themarketplace.

First conceived around1997, the idea began as aneighth-grade science fairproject for Freund. She said alot of research went into find-ing the best formula – a fami-ly secret – with her fatherstirring several pots with dif-ferent ingredients in them.The family then decided tomake it a marketable ven-ture. CowPots have beenavailable for retail since

about 2006. While the pots aresold worldwide, Freund saidher family has been making alarge push within the pasttwo months just to sell thepots in the Connecticut areaand get the product out there.

“I found it very interest-ing,” said Susan Nestor, anavid gardener who attendedthe presentation.

With milk prices gettinghigher and the market more“volatile,” as Freund put it,she said her family had tocome up with creative waysto make what they alreadyhad more valuable. At onepoint, she said the farm wasmaking 50 percent of what itcost to produce the dairy –not a good business model,she said.

Freund’s farm milks 265cows. In a day, Freund saidone cow can produce over 80pounds of manure.

“Cows make a lot of deli-cious milk, but they alsomake a lot of manure,” shesaid.

The manure used for thepots is first squeezed dry inwhat’s called the “separatorroom.” After that, the dry ma-terial is sent to the “com-poster,” and it is put in anoven and baked to sterilize it.

as a client, Harvey said shecan offer insight into whatworked well and what didn’twork so well during her timewith the organization.

One thing she said shefound helpful was the acces-sibility to counselors duringher probationary period. Shedid express, however, a de-sire to extend that time. Shesought guidance for anothersix months, and said even af-ter a year, she would havepreferred to have more time.

for sale, but there were toomany off-puts, like it being at-tached to an active elemen-tary school, and lack of park-ing.

“Something needs to bedone one way or the other,”Lee said, noting the buildingcontinues to deteriorate astime passes.

In other business, Lee dis-cussed the impact that wouldbe felt by the town if Gov. Dan-nel P. Malloy’s partial elimi-nation on car tax is approvedby the legislature. The pro-posal would eliminate car tax-es on all vehicles with an esti-mated value of $28,500 or less.Lee said if this were passed,Plainville could see a loss ofrevenue of about $3.4 million.To make up for this, the townwould likely have to raise tax-es in other areas, and resi-dents could see their propertyand real estate taxes increaseby up to 10 percent, but over-all, the damage would be acase-by-case basis.

“Some people would savemoney, other people wouldpay more money,” Lee said.

The proposal is at the hear-ing level now, according toLee, and was not factored intothe proposed budget.

Letters to the EditorGreat performance

To the editor:I was fortunate to attend Plainville High School perform-

ance of “Metamorphoses” on Saturday afternoon. What awonderful experience; a truly magnificent performance bythe entire cast of 12 dedicated, talented actors. The perform-ers were more than adequately supported by a technicalstaff that created a set, lighting and sound that added to thedelight and enjoyment of the audience.

All of this would not have been accomplished without thetalent, creative minds and efforts of the director, JeffBlanchette, and technical director, TJ Riccardo. ThePlainville school district is most fortunate to have educatorsof this quality working with our students on a daily basis.

This high school production was on a professional leveland was both educational and entertaining to the cast crewand audience. The production of “Metamorphoses” was adelightful, fantastic adaptation of Greek mythology. A greatway to spend an afternoon or evening.

Plainville Community Schools:Strategic Plan

By Jeffrey Kitching Special to The Citizen

Planning is a criticalprocess that drives long termsuccess and positive out-comes in our community oflearning. The framework forplanning in our school sys-tem, is the district’s StrategicPlan, which was recently up-dated. The newly revisedStrategic Plan for PlainvilleCommunity Schools was for-mally approved by the Boardof Education at its Feb. 11meeting.

The updated plan is a cul-mination of several months’work by the Strategic Plan-ning Committee comprised ofparents, Board of Educationmembers, district faculty,staff, administration, and

members of the community.The committee met regularlybetween September 2012 andJanuary 2013 with facilitatorJonathan Costa, from Educa-tion Connection, who led thecollaborative process of up-dating the district’s formerstrategic plan. The currentplan provides focus and di-rection for the Board, andguides the work of the ad-ministration, faculty, andstaff. All components of theplan are designed to improvethe quality of the educationour students receive and theexperiences they have in ourschools.

Elements of the five-yearplan include a newly craftedmission statement – “To pro-vide rigorous and enrichingexperiences that prepare eachstudent for success in a chang-ing global society,” beliefstatements, and three pri-mary goals. Together witheach goal are indicators ofsuccess, specific action steps,and expected outcomes.

While the district’s strategicplan framework has been up-dated, the primary focus ofthe school district on stu-dents, teaching, and learninghas remained the same, andthe school district’s 2013-14budget is designed to meetthe goals of the updated plan.All of the district’s initia-tives align with the newstrategic plan, reflecting ourcollective district focus andserving as the roadmap foraction over the next severalyears.

The school district admin-istration will be offering apresentation later this springto provide the communitywith additional details on thenew strategic plan and theinitiatives that can be expect-ed as a result. To view thenewly revised strategic plan,please visit the school dis-trict website home page at:www.plainvilleschools.org .

State’s social servicesoffers new online accessToo much technology in the

classroom can be a distraction

Commentary

By Kyle Swartz

Handheld technology inschool offers much for stu-dents and staff both. Butthere is a downside in thisincreasingly common prac-tice. At a certain point, kidscan become so distractedwith computerized devicesthat they lose attention ofteachers, and lessons athand.

Area academic districtshave rightly begun imple-mentation of various pro-grams which permit youthsto bring iPads, laptopsand/or smartphones intoclassrooms. Computer tech-nology has thoroughly prolif-erated in everyday life in re-cent years. Its beneficial in-clusion in schools is onlynatural.

Positives are numerous.Carrying electronic tabletsthat seemingly contain a li-brary’s worth of writtenworks, kids no longer have tolug around bulky textbooks.For teachers who can weavetech into curriculum, hands-on learning possibilitieswith these devices are practi-cally endless. In math class,pupils can calculate loga-rithms and graphs on aniPad’s calculator function,and then next period in artcan finger-paint on the

touchscreen. All of informa-tion is now but several key-board clicks away.

But abundant capabilitiesof digital devices also causetheir problems in schools.Any teacher is familiar withthis next scenario. Present-ing a subject to pupils, theyrecognize some kids asclearly not following along,because these students areengaged with smartphonetexting or browsing Twitteron an iPad. Even studentswho attempt to multitaskwith handheld technologyduring class do not givelearning their full attentionand miss out.

Important, then, is forteachers to direct technolo-gy usage in classroomsbased on personal prefer-ences. There should be partsof lessons in which instruc-tors talk to students and stu-dents talk back. Engaging,mentally stimulating discus-

sions become dampenedwhen pupils are preoccupiedwith digital hardware.

Of course, in many in-stances, youths have beenlosing focus in schools for aslong as education institu-tions have operated. Instruc-tors are correct to think,however, that iPhones pres-ent greater opportunity forattention diversion than anopen classroom window.What amount of handhelddevices is appropriate forany given day is a matter ofteacher discretion. Duringschool there’s a time fortech. But there also arise nu-merous occasions when staffand students gain by puttingaway these devices and com-mence engaging one anotheracademically without digitaldistraction.

Kyle Swartz is editor ofThe North Haven Citizen andan editorial associate at theRecord-Journal, Meriden.

Gov. Dannel P. Malloyhas announced the launchof a new, user-friendly web-based service for the state’sDepartment of Social Ser-vices that gives theagency’s 750,000 clients theability to check on the sta-tus of their benefits onlineand provides members ofthe general public with apre-screening tool to learnabout which services theymay be eligible for.

The service, which canbe found online by visitingwww.connect.ct.gov, marksthe first step of the depart-ment’s wide-ranging “Con-neCT” modernization ini-tiative, designed to bring21st Century technology toan agency working to keepup with record demand forfood and medical assis-tance.

“While today’s launchof this new web service isjust the first step, it’s one ofseveral important up-grades the department will

be undertaking in this cru-cial modernizationprocess,” Malloy said. “Ifwe are going to streamlineservices and reduce costs,we must bring the toolsDSS uses to ensure that ourelderly, children, familiesand adults receive ade-quate services into the 21stCentury.”

With the new onlineservice, Connecticut joinsmany other states in offer-ing clients the ability to setup online accounts to checkthe status of benefits,much like banks, storesand credit card companiesprovide. Dubbed “MyAc-count,” the feature allowsDSS clients the ability totrack a variety of informa-tion, including SNAP (foodstamps), HUSKY/Medicaidand other benefit informa-tion.

ical improvements will grad-ually change the servicelandscape at DSS for the ben-efit of Connecticut residents,the agency’s dedicated staff,and taxpayers in general,”Malloy said. “We are literal-ly taking an agency from ob-solescence in terms of over-

“In addition to helpingfamilies and individualsacross the state, this cus-tomer service measure willfree our hard-pressed stafffrom fielding many of theroutine requests for informa-tion that detract from actualcasework,” CommissionerRoderick L. Bremby said.

Plenty of drama on championship weekendCIACsports.com

Girls basketballClass LLMercy 54, Lauralton

Hall 53: Mercy of Middle-town spent the final 3.8 sec-onds of Saturday’s CIACClass LL final going from,“not again”, to, “are you kid-ding me?”

Maria Weselyj made a 3-pointer at the buzzer to givethe top-seeded Tigers an im-probable 54-53 win over No. 2Lauralton Hall of Milford atMohegan Sun Arena.

It looked like Mercy wasabout to lose its fourthstraight final after MichelleDeSantis made a layup with3.8 seconds left in the game togive the Crusaders a 53-51lead. The play was made pos-sible by Maggie Salandra’ssteal with 20 seconds remain-ing.

Mercy called two timeoutsto set up a play. SheenaLandy threw the inboundspass from the baseline acrosshalfcourt.

The Tigers’ CassandraSantoro somehow caught theHail Mary in traffic and

passed the ball to her right toan open Weselyj.

Weselyj, who shot 3-of-9from the field, got her 3-pointer off just in the nick oftime.

Jordyn Nappi scored 13 forthe Tigers (25-2) while Landyhad 12 points and six re-bounds. Maura Fitzpatrickadded 11 points.

Carly Fabbri scored agame-high 20 with threesteals for the Crusaders (24-2) and Olivia Levey had 13points and six rebounds. De-Santis scored 11.

Dame 28: Cromwell seniorLindsay Langenauer wasn’tgoing to end her high schoolcareer wondering, “what if ?”

The Panthers struggled toshoot all throughout Friday’sCIAC Class M final, so Lind-say Langenauer helpedsmooth over the rough edges.She had a game-high 18points and three blocks alongwith 11 rebounds as top-seed-ed Cromwell beat No. 2 NotreDame of Fairfield, 42-28, towin its first state title and fin-ish unbeaten at MoheganSun Arena.

Thomaston 55: Kiah Gille-spie and her Capital Prep ofHartford teammates remem-bered the terrible feeling ofthey experienced losing inlast season’s CIAC Class S fi-nal.

The Trailblazers madesure that they never gaveThomaston a chance in Sat-urday’s final. They blitzedthe Golden Bears early andwon, 84-55, in the Class S finalat Mohegan Sun Arena.

It was the first state titlefor top-seeded Capital (25-2).Its only losses were out-of-state.

Class LWoodstock Academy 52,

Trinity Catholic 49: It

would be understandable be-fore this season if peopledidn’t put Woodstock Acade-my and state basketball con-tender in the same sentence.

The Centaurs have rarelybeen a factor in the EasternConnecticut Conference, letalone in a state tournament.But in the season openerback in December, theyserved notice by beatingNew London. And Wood-stock Academy rarely stum-bled since.

The Centaurs’ capped itsdream season with its firststate championship, upset-ting top-ranked TrinityCatholic 52-49 for the Class Ltitle at the Mohegan SunArena.

Ian Converse had a game-high 23 points along with 11rebounds, for the Centaurs(25-3). He hit two free throwswith 5.7 seconds left to putthe Centaurs up by the finalmargin. After SchradacCasimir’s deep 3-point shotmissed the mark for TrinityCatholic, the on-court cele-bration began.

Trinity Catholic, whichwas seeking its seventh statechampionship, finished at 25-3.

Converse was the onlyplayer in double figures forthe Centaurs. Sullivan Gard-ner had a game-high 14 re-bounds for Woodstock Acad-emy.

Ice hockeyDivision IIINewington/Berlin 1,

Bolton/Coventry/Rock-ville 0: The co-op of Bolton,Coventry and Rockville en-tered Saturday’s Division IIIfinal with plenty of hype sur-rounding its defense afternine shutouts this season.

But once again, it wasNewington/Berlin’s defense

that stole the show at IngallsRink in the Division III Fi-nal.

Led by another memo-rable performance fromgoalie Drew O’Leary in netand a second period goalfrom Marco DiPaola, the co-op of Newington/Berlin de-feated Bolton/Coventry/Rockville 1-0 in the DivisionIII championship for back-to-back titles.

It was the second straightseason Newington/Berlin(17-4-2) has put together animpressive defensive displayin the biggest game of theseason.

Last March, Newington/Berlin stopped an equally dy-namic offense in NorthwestCatholic to claim its firststate title.

But on Saturday, the co-op,which added Manchesterduring the off-season, waseven better.

O’Leary made 16 saves and

his defense did a great job ofshutting down theBolton/Coventry/Rockvilleoffense, which was averaging4.8 goals a game.

After surviving a flurry ofactivity from Bolton/Coven-try/Rockville (20-2-2) in thefirst six minutes, Newing-ton/Berlin turned the tide.

doesn’t get old for GreenwichHigh boys swim coach TerryLowe.

The Cardinals reclaimedtheir familiar perch afterstumbling last season by out-distancing defending cham-pion Fairfield Prep by 183points Saturday afternoon atYale’s Robert Kiphuth Pool.

As far as swimmers go,Berlin’s Dan Klotz has seenhis share of gold so he want-ed to leave the scholastic are-

na more illustriously.Klotz became a two-time

Open champion for the sec-ond straight season, but puthis own stamp on the feat byshattering the state record inthe 100-yard butterfly bynearly a half-second.

Klotz touched in 49.34,breaking the mark (49.75) es-tablished by Dan Madwed ofthe Westhill/Stamford co-opteam in 2005. Earlier, Klotzcruised to victory in the 200-yard freestyle in 1:40.31,eclipsing a personal stan-dard set in the Class M meeta week ago.

Greenwich has now wonOpen crowns in 30 of the 42years the event has run, butrecent events have shakenthe throne. In addition toPrep winning last year, Pom-peraug finished first in 2008and 2010.
