Residents dumpedfrom town’s wastecollection serviceBy Julie Sopchak

The Plainville Citizen

Certain residents of Pa-vano Drive and ShuttleMeadow Road have foundthemselves no longer includ-ed in the Town of Plainville’sautomated trash and recy-clables collection service.

Several residents of the af-fected area came to the towncouncil meeting on Sept. 19to voice concerns over someof the apparent confusion.Now a month later, sevenhouseholds have been of-fered trash pickup by LatellaRubbish Removal, the town’scontracted company, for amonthly fee of about $23.

The reason for exclusionfrom the pickup is the houses

in question are not technical-ly in Plainville, but are infact totally in Southington,according to Plainville TownManager Robert E. Lee. Es-sentially, he said since thetrash is generated inSouthington, Plainville willnot pick it up.

“We’ve drawn that line bysaying if the house is physi-cally located in Plainville, oreven if it’s partially locatedin Plainville, that we willpick up the trash,” Lee said.“But if the house is locatedin another town, just be-cause they have some emptyland in Plainville, we don’tfeel that should qualify forgetting trash collection.”

Spirit Walk brings personas of notable residents to lifeBy Ken DiMauro

Special to The Citizen

For Nancy Eberhardt andother members of thePlainville Historical Societywho donned period garb andtalked about the lives of localnotables of the early days ofPlainville history, the thirdannual spirit walk held Oct.18 wasn’t designed to scareattendees in time for Hal-loween. Actually, it wasmeant to entertain and in-form, according to Eber-hardt.

President of the historicalgroup, Eberhardt said theperformances of the resi-dents’ lives was purposelymoved from the previous lo-cation of the ancient ceme-tery on East Street to the“stage” at the meeting roomof the historic center. She re-searched and portrayedRachel Lewis Wilcox, the sec-ond wife of Jonathan Wilcox.

Spirit Walk performers at the Plainville Historical Soci-ety include, from left, Gail Williams, Gertrude La-Combe, Nancy Eberhardt and Taffie Bentley. Thewomen portrayed actual residents from Plainville’spast.

Eberhardt was joined inthe individual historicalskits by Gail Williams asLouise Harris, wife of CivilWar veteran Levin Harris;Gertrude LaCombe asEleanor Hills, a notablewoman who died in 1760 atthe age of 73; and Taffie Bent-ley as Lear Green, a runawayslave from Baltimore whostowed away in a trunk of aship and came to Connecti-cut to marry a free blackman. The common charac-teristic of all the women wasone of strength and en-

durance, a “pioneer’s spirit,”Eberhardt said.

In the past, the event washeld in September and keptas far away from Halloweenas possible. While preparingfor this year’s spirit walk,the historical society discov-ered there were other eventsgoing on at the designateddates that likely would havecompeted with it. Moreover,Plainville has endured a veryrainy summer and fall, so thedecision was made to movethe spirit walk’s outdoor lo-cation from the old cemetery

to the warm and dry interiorof the historic center.

More than 40 people at-tended the sprit performanc-

es. Eberhardt said a decisionwill be made shortly whether

Grant to bolster town’s fire prevention efforts

Citizen photo by Julie Sopchak

Plainville Town Manager Robert E. Lee, middle right,accepts a check from FM Global Manager of Fire Ser-vice Programs Michael Spaziani, middle left, alongwith Plainville Fire Marshal Larry Sutherland, far left,and Town of Plainville Director of Finance Rob Buden,far right.

The Town of Plainville hasreceived a $2,515 fire preven-tion grant from FM Global,one of the world’s largestcommercial property insur-ers.

FM Global representativespresented the award on Oct.13 to Larry A. Sutherland,fire marshal, at the PlainvilleMunicipal Center.

The award will be used toassist with fire investigationsto help fire investigatorsmore efficiently examine anddetermine the cause of a fire,according to a company pressrelease.

“It’s a very competitiveprocess; there were 350 appli-cants worldwide. We werevery fortunate to be a recipi-ent,” Sutherland said. Thefunds will be used to pur-chase equipment that will aidin fire investigation such as anew digital camera, hand-outs and computer softwareto recreate fire scenes or pre-plan fire escape routes in ex-isting buildings.

“This covers a good

amount. We were very, verypleased, especially in thistime,” Sutherland said.“This helps me out and does-

n’t cost the taxpayers a dime.Because fire continues to

be the leading cause of prop-erty damage worldwide, dur-

ing the past 35 years FMGlobal has contributed mil-lions of dollars in fire pre-vention grants to fire serviceorganizations around theglobe, according to a press re-lease. Locally, the companyhas awarded grants to a num-ber of Connecticut-based or-ganizations.

Through its Fire Preven-tion Grant Program, FMGlobal awards grants quar-terly to fire departments — aswell as national, state, re-gional, local and communityorganizations worldwide —that best demonstrate a needfor funding, where dollarscan have the most demonstra-ble impact on preventing fire,or mitigating the damage itcan quickly cause.

“Far too often, inadequatebudgets prevent those organ-izations working to preventfire from being as proactiveas they would like to be,” saidMichael Spaziani, managerof the fire prevention grantprogram. With additional fi-nancial support, grant recipi-

ents are actively helping toimprove property risk in thecommunities they serve.”

This year in Plainville,funding for the fire marshal’soffice was cut in half, Suther-land said, and the grant willmake it possible to purchasethe much-needed items.

Grants are hard to come bythat apply specifically to fireinvestigation, the fire mar-shal said. He plans to reapplywhen eligible in three years.“We try to seek out anythingwe can.”

Plainville couple, who still feel ‘Puppy Love,’ meet Donny Osmond

Photo courtesy of Linda Paradis

Former teenage heart throb and performing artist,Donny Osmond, left, meets Linda and Carl Paradis, ofPlainville, at a concert at the Oakdale Theater inWallingford.

By Robin Lee MichelThe Plainville Citizen

When Linda and Carl Par-adis met at age 15 and fell inlove, some people called it“puppy love.” Matter of fact,the song of the same namethat was sung by Donny Os-mond and at the top of thecharts in 1972, became thecouple’s theme song.

In August, the husbandand wife — now married for43 years — finally got to tellthe renowned performingartist how much that songmeant to them. It was an op-portunity, Linda said, thatshe never could have imag-ined.

That was before she wontickets in August from the ra-dio station WRCH 100.5 to seeOsmond perform at the Oak-dale Theater in Wallingford.“I thought it would be cool towin tickets for our anniver-sary,” Linda said.

Within days, they were atthe theater with 15 other tick-et winners to have lunch withthe singer and see his concertthat night.

Beforehand, she bought a

stuffed dog, tied on bags ofcandy and wrote “PuppyLove” on the ribbon. She gavethe pup to Osmond when theymet.

“He was such a nice man, apeople person,” Linda said.“He ate with us, talked to

everyone, he was a very niceperson.” She said she also en-joyed meeting all the otherpeople who won tickets.

It was a “very nice con-cert” with good seats on theside of the theater, she said.

This wasn’t the first timeLinda won tickets fromWRCH; in February she waswinner of a Valentine’s Daydinner and dance.

She and her husband enjoygoing to concerts especially

those of teen idols popular inthe 1950s and ’60s such asFrankie Avalon, Fabian andFrankie Valli and The FourSeasons. She wasn’t shywhen she spotted Valli oncein public; she ran over andkissed him.

“I was a fan [of Osmond]in my younger days but wasmore of an Elvis fan. I saw

him twice,” she said.Linda said there is still

something special betweenher and her husband, whoare parents of two adult chil-dren and grandparents tothree youngsters. “We trynot to go to bed mad, I alwayskiss him goodnight. We arevery compatible. We have agood thing going,” she said.

GrantContinued from page 1

70 or 80 homes have beendone in Plainville.

“People get the money toget code-related work done,”Lee said. “People are re-quired to pay it back whentheir property is transferredand when the money comesback in, we lend it out to oth-er people who can make im-provements to their home.”

The grants are given out tolow or moderate income fam-ilies, so there are qualifica-tions to be met in order to re-ceive any funds. Lee saidright now there are 28 peopleon the waiting list to receivemoney from the grant.

“That’s one of the reasonswhy we got the grant was wewere able to demonstrate theneed,” he said.

Projects can range fromgetting new furnaces, to roofreplacements, to other costlytypes of home improvementprojects. Lee said projectscan cost up to $30,000, so heestimated that only about 12or 15 houses will receivemoney.

“We get to see firsthandthe needs that are out there

for people to upgrade theirhomes and it’s very difficultfor some people to find mon-ey to replace things like roofsor get new furnaces,” Leesaid. “These are critical por-tions of the home and I thinkthis is a great program tohelp and assist people to pro-vide the basic code and livingrequirements.”

In a press statement, Gov.Dannel P. Malloy said thefunding program plays a sig-nificant role during a timewhen budgets are stretchedtoo thin, but needs are stillthere.

“For most Connecticuttowns and smaller cities,budgets are stretched thinbut their infrastructureneeds and the housing needsof their residents haven’t di-minished,” Malloy said.“That’s why the Small Citiesprogram — and the federalgrants the program awards— are so critical. The fundingis key to these communitiesand their efforts to improvethe lives of residents throughhousing programs and com-munity projects.”

BuswayContinued from page 1

ny on several transportationissues affecting residents ofthe central Connecticut re-gion, but quickly waschanged to be about the pro-posed 9.4-mile dedicated buscorridor that is about to re-ceive final federal fundingfrom Congress.

Before the meeting, TownManager Robert E. Lee intro-duced himself to commissionmembers and other officialswho were at the hearing. Leesaid he supports the idea of abusway and other masstransportation services thatwould help Plainville resi-dents get around.

Lee said increased masstransit would ultimately saveenergy resources such as oiland gasoline.

Although state and somearea officials told the morethan 80 people who attendedthe hearing that the designphase of the busway is done,federal funding is beingprocessed and several con-tractors have been awardedbids, state Sen. Joseph C.Markley, 16th District, whorepresents Southington, Wol-

cott and part of Waterbury,remains a vocal opponent ofthe bus corridor.

Markley said he thoughtthe busway is too expensiveat nearly $600 million, in-creased from its original 1997price tag of just under $100million. By speaking out andrallying opposition to thebus-transit corridor,Markley said it is still possi-ble to but the brakes on this“costly project” that he be-lieves won’t attract riders toand from the region andeventually will make it im-possible for any future masstransit initiatives to gothrough.

He said he favors severalmodes of mass transporta-tion and has lived in severalU.S. and foreign locationswhere trains, buses, trolleysand other transit haveproven to be crucial. Howev-er, he said that careful plan-ning has to be done in Con-necticut because hugeamounts of people can’t easi-ly be moved as in metropoli-tan areas such as Boston,New York City or San Fran-cisco.

Most of the more than 80people who attended thehearing were against the

busway. The dozen or sospeakers in opposition listedmany reasons why theythought the dedicated busroute was a bad idea.

Kathy Pugliese, a formermember of the PlainvilleTown Council who is run-ning for the board in the up-coming election, said shewas happy to see a goodturnout at the hearing. Shesaid she has been opposed tothe busway and thinks it istoo costly.

Michael Sanders, a stateDOT architect for thebusway, sat at one of the mi-crophones and answeredquestions from officials, thetransit commission and thepublic. He was asked howsnow removal would be doneon areas where snow couldnot be easily piled on the sideof the bus road.

He answered the snow inthese limited areas would beput in the back of largetrucks and taken to anotherlocation.

Sanders estimated thebusway will have 16,000 rid-ers a day. Several speakerssaid they did not agree with

For the properties in ques-tion, the front lawn is said tobe on the Plainville side ofthe town border, while thehouse itself and the backyardare located in Southington.

Paul Conte said he was nothappy with suddenly not be-ing eligible for trash pickupafter being a resident of thetown for 15 years.

“It feels terrible,” Contesaid. “That’s why I won’t votefor anybody in Plainville aslong as I’m in Plainville.”

Barbara Zadrowski liveson Shuttle Meadow Roadsaid her biggest complaintwas the fact she didn’t re-ceive any notification thather garbage would no longerbe picked up. She said whenthe new trash barrels weredelivered for the automated

service, she didn’t receiveany, and a phone call to thetown revealed she was not onthe list to receive the pails.

“That was the biggest in-convenience,” Zadrowskisaid. “If I have to pay for itmyself, then I do, there’snothing I can do about it.”

Zadrowski said she imme-diately took up the offer tohave Latella come and pickup the trash for a monthlyfee.

As far as going toSouthington for trash pickup,residents said that’s not real-ly an option since Southing-ton residents have to hire acompany on their own fortrash collection anyway.

Pavano Drive residentFrancine Ruck said she hasbeen on the street for threeyears and took the town upon its offer to pay monthly forpickup because she and herhusband “had no choice.”

She also that she and a fewother neighbors were ac-cused of taking the garbagepails of other residents andusing them as their own.

“According to Robert Lee,he basically accused myself,the lady next door, and theguy down the street of steal-ing somebody’s garbage pailsand bringing them to ourhome,” Ruck said. “But I washere the morning theydropped them off and I car-ried them to my garage.”

Ruck said while she wasaway from her home one day,police officers came to herhouse for the garbage pails.Her granddaughter an-swered the door to the offi-cers and was told they need-ed access to the pails so theycould take them away.

“I was very upset with thatand like I said, my husbandbasically told Robert Lee thathe needed to do a public apol-ogy because he actuallycalled us thieves,” Ruck said,“that we stole somebodyelse’s garbage pail, which isuntrue.”

Mary Klosek said she andher husband were also ac-cused of stealing garbagepails that they said were de-livered to them. She saidgarbage was picked up forthem on Thursday, and onFriday the pails were takenaway from them, along withhaving their garbage

next year’s event will takeplace indoors or return to thecemetery.

Williams, the historical so-ciety’s expert on African-American history, said sheenjoys bringing charactersand individuals fromPlainville’s rich past to life inunusual ways. Louise Harriswas a very strong woman.Her husband served in theCivil War in the town thateventually would becomePlainville four years after thewar ended.

Eberhardt, Williams, La-Combe and Bentley all saidthey found it particularly re-warding being able to con-nect with residents from thepast who were pivotal in help-ing to make Plainville what itis today. The women all saidthey were happy to see a goodturnout although the event’slocation had changed.

Eberhardt said she en-joyed researching the life ofWilcox. “These were womenwith great strength,” both inmind and body. She said theone thing she has tried to dosince becoming president ofthe historical society is trynew ways and programs to

bring people in to visit thehistoric center, which is lo-cated in the former town hallbuilding at 29 Pierce St. By

trying new events and tweak-ing them occasionally, Eber-hardt said she thinks she hasdone just that.

dumped out on their drive-way.

“When I came home I sawthe policemen with two guysfrom the company,” Kloseksaid. “They went, theydumped my garbage on mydriveway and they took awaythe garbage pail.”

Klosek said she has livedon Pavano Drive for about 23years, and never had a prob-lem with her garbage pickupuntil now. She said the situa-tion is troubling because sheis not sure if she belongs toPlainville or Southingtonnow.

“We are mad,” she said.“I’m mad, because for somany years we didn’t have aproblem. It hurts, becausenow I don’t know where webelong to, Southington,Plainville, I don’t know.

Klosek said she will takethe offer to have Latella comeand remove her trash for themonthly fee. She said she hasgarbage, so she really doesn’thave a choice.

Lee said there were com-plaints of residents sayingthey did not receive garbagepails, and the pails in ques-tion that were not deliveredwere found to be on the prop-erties not supposed to havereceived any. He said eachpail has a serial number on itthat matches it up with a par-

ticular house.“What we know is that

trash cans that we deliveredto other homes in the areawere found on their proper-ty,” Lee said. “Don’t knowhow it got there, all we didwas return the trash cansthat appear to have been ontheir property that was as-signed to other people, andthe reason that we know thatis they all have numbers onthem, they all have serialnumbers.”

Lee said a trash can wasdelivered to an unoccupiedhome at a cul-de-sac and thenfound on the property acrossthe street where there wasnot supposed to be a trashcan delivered. He said a possi-ble mix-up of can deliveriesis not perceived as an expla-nation for why the cans end-ed up on the incorrect proper-ties.

“The houses are well-marked down there, so wedon’t believe any error wasmade,” Lee said. “But we’renot going to provide the ex-planation as to how it gotover to the houses, I thinkonly the homeowners knowthe answer to that question,and regardless of whether itwas delivered to their houseor not, they weren’t supposedto have one.”

By Noreen Neuhausser

This year marks the 50th anniver-sary of the installation of our firststained glass window, The Annunci-ation, which is located nearest thedoor as you enter the church fromthe upstairs hall. If you look at ourbell tower, you can see examples ofwhat the original plain glass win-dows were like as there are somesmaller examples still evident.

We’ve recently had several in-quiries about our beautiful windowswhich were all created by J & RLamb Studios of New York. Thedaughter of the artist who designedthe Annunciation Window and possi-bly three other windows in ourchurch, has provided us with a greatdeal of information about this amaz-ing woman, Katharine Lamb Tait,granddaughter of the founder of thestudio. Recently two people traveledfrom upstate New York to view andphotograph all of our windows.

As we learn more about the de-signer/artist, we can learn more

about our windows. It is true, we donot always see that which is right infront of us all the time but can seedifferently through the eyes of oth-ers.

Designed by Katharine Lamb Tait,the Annunciation Window was givenin memory of James Elliot by hiswife Ella, and dedicated in 1962.James Elliott was a local business-man whose wife was active in thechurch and the Women’s Groups atCOS.

The Annunciation Window is lo-cated just to the right of the chancelis a prime viewing area for thoseseated in the front part of the nave.

It features the Angel Gabrielbringing the good news of the im-pending birth of Jesus to Mary. Adove, representing the Holy Spirit, isdescending upon Mary whileGabriel holds a white lily, symboliz-ing Mary’s purity. Beneath the fig-ures is the printed quotation: Hailthou that art highly favored. TheLord is with thee.

Noreen Neuhausser is writing arti-

cles about the history of the stainedglass windows for the Church of OurSaviour newsletter, “Staff and Trum-pet.” Church of Our Saviour is locat-ed at 115 W. Main St.

tempt to stifle people’s opin-ions at meetings and I believeevery question deserves acomplete and honest answernot double talk.

2. What are your top pri-orities and how will youaddress them?

The fiscal stability of thetown is my first priority. Weshould adjust our spending tothe town’s income – not ad-just the income (i.e. raise tax-es) to fit spending. The debtservice fund depletion andthe reduction in the town’sfund balance leading to adowngrade of our credit rat-ing are examples of the fiscalirresponsibility by the pres-ent council members.

The second priority is toappoint a Charter RevisionCommission (not a studygroup) to fix the problems ofthe budget vote. The taxpay-ers should have the final sayon the budget not three votesand it’s over. Also, it is timefor term limits for elective of-fice. We need to stop careerpoliticians from sitting in of-fice just going through themotions for the political pow-er committees. It is time forfresh ideas in our govern-ment.

The way to address theseissues is to bring them out inthe open and discuss solu-tions while pointing out fool-ishness on the part of do-nothing politicians.

I am a Plainville nativewho has a history of commu-nity involvement. As a long-time, involved resident, I amvery familiar with the town’ssuccesses and the issues thatneed to be addressed.

Iwill listen to citizens andwork to address their con-cerns, and work to that endwith my fellow council mem-bers and the board of educa-tion.

2.What are your top pri-orities and how will youaddress them?

I would want more dia-logue with the public to helpprioritize town services andtheir costs to taxpayers. Iwould also like an objectivepublic forum with the coun-cil, school board, town man-ager and school superinten-dent to resolve issues and cre-ate a more cooperative at-mosphere. I support the ap-pointment of a charter revi-sion commission to addressconcerns regarding thebudget adoption process. Iwould also like to have a dis-cussion on emergency serv-ices in town, an issue thathas come to the forefront inthe wake of Tropical StormIrene, and how to best servethe needs of residents insuch situations. I would sup-port more aggressive actionregarding open-space preser-vation, while also reassess-ing tax incentives to encour-age positive grand list

growth. I, like so many othersin our town, understand thefinancially challenging rela-tionship between servicesand taxes, the critical impor-tance good schools play inmaking a community an at-tractive one, and the need tobalance commercial develop-ment with protecting the en-vironment.

I believe I have listened tothe citizens’ concerns duringthe time I served on the

Plainville Town Council andalways acted on what wasbest for the town and its citi-zens as a whole. As a CouncilMember for the past sixyears, I have proven my capa-bilities and demonstrated myleadership to the taxpayerson issues related to responsi-ble town budgets and improv-ing public education. I willcontinue to use my strongleadership skills to benefitthe people I represent andcontinue to look for cost sav-ing measures and work withour local commissions onfinding ways to attract busi-nesses to Plainville. I prom-ise to continue to listen to allcitizens and work with eachand every one regardless ofpolitical affiliation and willcontinue to move Plainvilleforward and unite our com-munity.


There are many issuesvery important to our townand our citizens, which needto be addressed. Such as:

The budget process and theway the budget is voted oneach year. I will focus thisterm instituting a CharterRevision Commission thatwill focus on this issue and itwill address this item specifi-cally. The budget and votingprocess is one issue, whereour citizens feel their votedoes not count. I would like tolook into and work with thecitizens and get their feed-back on what they think thisprocess should be and adjustfor the better.

I will focus on continuingto work on keeping the hon-esty, dignity and respect thistown deserves and desires.Also adhering to my promiseto listen to all view pointsand will incorporate theseinto my decision making asone of the leaders of ourtown.

We need to bring back thestability of the Town Counciland the Board of Education.Both entities need to work to-gether in unity in order tobetter our educationalprocess which will serve ourtown for the better. I willwork hard to bring that sta-bility back to our town,schools, and leaders of ourcommunity as well as our cit-izens, while diligently work-ing hard to regain the cooper-

ative relationship betweenthe Board of Education andthe Town Council. Our citi-zens deserve their elected of-ficials to work closely witheach other and to resolve is-sues together so we can con-tinue to make Plainville a bet-ter place to live and raise ourfamilies.

The Plainville Citizen — Thursday, October 27, 2011 16fought members of my ownparty to start an EthicsBoard and was successful.Our bond rating was AAA+.I started the Debt ServiceFund to defray the cost of therenovations to the highschool and Toffolon. Under-standing the BOE financialsthey received what taxpay-ers could afford. Plainvillecitizens know that I will al-ways tell them the truth.Plainville citizens deservedthe truth not sugarcoating. Idon’t bully people but I dostand up to bullies. TheTown Manager should be theinformational provider forthe Town Council not thecouncil director as it standstoday.

What are your top prior-ities and how will you ad-dress them?

We cannot stabilize taxesuntil we make Plainville abusiness friendly communi-ty. We cannot keep creatinghidden taxes for businesses.Fire Marshal fees and nowthis new health district con-solidation which was sup-posed to save money are ac-tually doubling the restau-rant inspection fees from$150 to $300. How does thishelp Plainville? I will notstart any new projects be-cause the Debt Service Fundwas not used properly andour bond rating has slippeddramatically. Yes, this meansthat our highly paid BOE of-fices will be regulated to thebasement until we get our fi-nancial house in order.There are two unfinishedprojects dear to my heartthat I was only able to get myfoot in the door. I want towork to clean up the all-dayvote process and get anethics board with teeth sopeople will volunteer to workon this board. Last but notleast open up dialogue withthe BOE as these are toughtimes and we can accomplishmore with trust in each oth-er.

As a two term member ofthe Town Council I have atrack record and a history ofdoing and voting for what Ibelieve is right for our com-munity. I have listened andacted upon the public’s in-put and individuals whohave contacted me withtheir concerns. I believe Ihave been respectful and lis-tened to all opinions broughtto my attention as each citi-zen deserves that right. Wemight not always agree butwe can disagree civilly. Giv-en the chance to serve youfor a third term, I will con-tinue to stand committed toour town and the citizens ofthis community as I wassworn to do.

2. What are your toppriorities and how willyou address them?

My top priority is to ad-dress the current budgetprocess. It is clear to me thatthis process is not working. Iwill stand by a charter revi-sion to change this process. Iwill respect all opinions andlisten to all options and sup-port a system that best ad-dresses the concerns of thepeople.

I believe the current is-sues between the Counciland Board of Educationmust be addressed and alle-viated for the good of ourcommunity. Clearly the cur-rent direction is not workingand only costing the taxpay-ers tens of thousands of dol-lars to prove this point. I be-lieve the Council and Boardmust come together andwork towards drafting andimplementing a set of guide-lines and procedures that weboth can agree on that willbe the standard used in mov-ing forward.

I will continue to workwith all appropriate othersto implement cost savingmeasures, increase efficien-cy with the end result alwaysto best serve Plainville.

If I’m fortunate enough toearn their vote on Nov. 8, Iwill continue to representthem with that same pas-sion.


Those people elected tothe Town Council will facemany important issues.While our economy is stillshowing signs of weakness,it will eventually turnaround. Property values willincrease again, and peoplewill not have such a hardtime finding suitable em-ployment. Until that time,we need to keep spending in-creases to a minimum and beconfident that we can hon-estly explain to our residentswhere their hard-earned dol-lars are being spent. I’m asupporter of Charter Revi-sion because I share the viewthat the budget referendumprocess is flawed. I also thinkwe can do more in the way ofshared services, includingcombining the finance de-partments. This will elimi-nate duplicated expense andprovide the openness and ac-countability people are de-manding.

We will also need to ad-dress issues such as how topay. for our recently complet-ed school renovations, andwhat we can do as a commu-nity to help our existingbusinesses grow and bringin new business. The eventu-al closing of the landfill willalso need to be reviewed.Last, but not least, we need tohave an honest public dis-cussion about how the Coun-cil and the Board of Educa-tion can work towards amore cooperative existence.

After six years on thecouncil, I still feel that I rep-resent the average citizen inPlainville, trying to balancefamily, home and work. I un-derstand that we are all af-fected by the economy andthough people may not agreewith all my views, I try tomake reasonable decisionsfor the town and all the citi-zens who live in it.


One of the top prioritiesfor me, as many of the othercandidates is repairing therelationship between thecouncil and the board of edu-cation. I am not sure whythere is all this distrust ofmisspending when the BOEmembers are all taxpayingcitizens of our town andhave a vested interest on howtheir taxes are spent too. Ithink this can be accom-plished by communicating,without the threat of “su-ing” or going to court to getanswers to questions. Tryingto keep taxes and spendingdown while preserving townservices is always at the top,instituting automated trashand single stream recyclingrecently is helping with that.I am also hopeful with thenext phase of downtownbeautification beginning,that we will be able to attractnew businesses to our cen-ter, generating new jobs andtaxes.

I am a dedicated commonsense citizen who believes infiscal responsibility. I wantto represent the studentsand taxpayers who havebeen taking a back seat tothe whims of the adminis-trators and a few misguidedboard members.


First of all the member-ship of the elected Board ofEducation has to be changedby the voters for anythingpositive to be accomplished.When this happens I willpush to eliminate unneces-sary spending in areas

a lot there is still more thatwe can do. I will continue tolook for ways to lower themill rate and make sure thatwe only spend what we needand that all taxpayer’s dollarsare spent wisely.

What are your top prior-ities and how will you ad-dress them?

Some of my top prioritiesover the next two years willbe to keep taxes low, look forlocal or regional sharing ofresources, and continue tolook for new sources of rev-enue. Some specific items Iwant to work on includes;restoring a positive workingrelationship with the Boardof Education, begin a Char-ter Revision Commission toaddress the budget approvalprocess, and continue to lookfor effective cost saving meas-ures.

We also need to continue tobe diligent in collecting backtaxes, working with our statelegislatures for increasedfunding, and securing grantsto lower the tax burden on thetaxpayers.

Thursday, October 27, 2011 — The Plainville Citizen 19school system.

I have been a member ofthe Board of Education formore than a year and haveparticipated in virtuallyevery aspect of the Board’swork. I have worked diligent-ly to become knowledgeableabout our schools and havebeen a well-prepared, activeparticipant at Board meet-ings.

Plainville can be im-mensely proud of the stu-dent-centered focus and or-derly, humane and respectfulclimate to be found in everyone of our schools. If the vot-ers send me back to theBoard, I will continue towork to see that the schoolsreceive the resources theyneed to maintain their suc-cesses and build upon them.

I am retired after manyyears of experience in edu-cation, first as an elemen-tary school teacher, and lat-er, as faculty member in edu-cation at CCSU. I have alsoworked as an attorney andhave had a lifelong interestand involvement in publicpolicy and politics. I wouldlike the opportunity to con-tinue to use my skills and ex-perience to help thePlainville schools educateour students and serve ourcommunity.


My first priority is to helpour schools receive the re-sources they need to main-tain their successes andbuild upon them. This willrequire active, continuingadvocacy before local andstate governmental bodies,both as an individual and to-gether with other supportersof our schools.

My other priorities relateto the oversight/policy-mak-ing role of a school boardmember. I value thePlainville schools’ strongstudent-centered focus andwill continue to vote to allo-cate resources to target indi-vidual student growth. Istrongly support a compre-hensive approach to educa-tion, one that teaches thearts and humanities and in-cludes regular space andtime for student-directedlearning. I will continue tosupport initiatives that re-flect this broad approach andto encourage our educators

to resist pressures to narrowthe curriculum to fit the de-mands of high stakes test-ing. Finally, I will advocatefor resource allocation thatkeeps class sizes small andmaintains healthy adult/stu-dent ratios in the schools.

I believe that educationmust be the primary focus oflocal government. It is the re-sponsibility of a local Boardof Education to insure thatthe local school district pro-vides the best education pos-sible to the youth of the com-munity. I believe that: myover 45 year’s experience inthe financial services indus-try, knowledge gained inyears of varied communityservice and experience as asubstitute teacher, have pro-vided a resource to permitme to function effectively asa member of the PlainvilleBoard of Education.


I believe that the focus of aBoard of Education must bethreefold: school, teachingand learning. IT is the re-sponsibility of the localBoard of Education to in-sure that the educationprocess is current and avail-able to all eligible citizens ofthe community. My initialgoal, however, will be towork to restore an effective,productive, non-partisan,working relationship be-tween the Board of Educa-tion and Town Council.

fellow board members on sev-eral initiatives to either im-prove student learning or op-erate our schools in a morecost effective manner.

Serving on the board is byfar one of the most difficultyet rewarding tasks I’ve everundertaken. I have carriedout my responsibilities withboth honesty and integrityand done do in the best inter-ests of the students ofPlainville. IT has been anhonor to serve my communi-ty and I hope I will be giventhe opportunity to serve fourmore years.


The education budget con-tinues to act as a lightningrod for taxpayers who are an-gry about the continueddownturn of our nation’seconomy. While I understandtheir frustration, my duty asa board member is to ensureour curriculum provides a

well-rounded education forour students, one that in-cludes not only rigorous aca-demics but athletics and finearts as well.

The continued reductionin the annual educationbudget has negatively im-pacted class sizes at all levels.Several programs have beenlost or greatly reduced in-cluding the highly respectedBushnell Program. I wouldlike to restore much neededteaching positions that wouldallow us to reduce class sizes,continue to grow the WorldLanguage program at themiddle school and reintro-duce the talented and giftedprogram at the elementarylevel.

CorrectionsWe strive to bring you the

most accurate and up-to-date information availableeach week, but if you seesomething in The PlainvilleCitizen that isn’t quiteright, give our news depart-ment a call at (860) 620-5960and we’ll do our best tomake things right.

In the article, “PlainvilleDemocrats’ campaign fo-cuses on personalities,”published in the Oct. 20 is-sue of The Plainville Citi-zen, there was incorrect in-formation regarding candi-date Barbara Willard. She is

an incumbent and hasserved on the PlainvilleBoard of Education for thepast eight years.

Political letterThis letter is being pub-

lished because it was inad-vertently omitted from theOct. 20 issue.

To the editor:Well, folks, as candidate

for Plainville Board of Edu-cation, I want to express myopinion on town issues andcandidates. I have been at-tending [town] meetings so Ihave a good feel for what ishappening. The squabble

between the council andBOE is a waste of time andtaxpayer dollars. The timeto ask questions is when thecouncil gets the BOE packetevery month. I blame thetown manager with his con-trolling methods for themiscommunication in thismatter.

Now the BOE candidates:The promise by Republi-cans sounds good, they haveto do what is right for thestudents and taxpayers andnot cave to the whims of thebig spenders who believe inthrowing money at every-thing to solve problems.

Foster White speaks at

every budget meeting togive the BOE all the dollarsthey ask for. His agenda is touse our $1 million auditori-um. Charlotte Koskoff willget my vote because she is avoice of reason and com-mon sense. PatrickRingrose and BarbaraWillard may be fine citi-zens, but in 2007 they werepart of the BOE who askedthe council to remove mefrom the building commit-tee because I and a thou-sand voters opposed Tof-folon referendums for moremoney. The thousand-plusvoters saved the taxpayersmore than $2 million. Sorry,

Pat and Barbara, I will notvote for you.

Now the council: The 385voters who signed the cardasking the council for char-ter revision got slapped inthe face by the sitting coun-cil with a study committee.

Plainville needs changeon the council. I am urgingevery voter who believes inour rights and freedoms todo as I am and only castvotes for council candidatesTom Arcari Sr., AndreGrandbois and KathyPugliese.

By Nick CarrollThe Plainville Citizen

Regarding his team’sshowing at the Central Con-necticut Conference champi-onship meet, Plainville HighSchool cross country coachShaun Berard had nothing tocomplain about. “The daywent very well,” he said. “Ihad a few goals, and we madeall of them. I had no disap-pointments.”

Among the things Berardwas most pleased with wasthe Blue Devils’ second-placefinish in the CCC South Divi-sion. On top of that, five PHSrunners collected all-confer-ence honors that afternoon.

And the locals did it all inless-than-ideal conditions.

Heavy rain pushed theCCC meet back 24 hours, toOct. 20. Come race day, the3.1-mile course at Manches-ter’s Wickham Park was a

mud pit, and the wind waswhipping.

Plainville senior BryanSalazar planned to clock atime in the low 18-minute

range at the CCC meet, butsettled for a 19:27.61 run.That performance landedhim in 11th place in theSouth Division.

“The conditions on thecourse were really tough to-day,” said Salazar. “It was allmud. That took a lot out of

your endurance trying tofight it. It felt like quick-sand.”

Coach Berard was proudof the fortitude his runnersdisplayed.

“Top to bottom, every kidraced the conditions well andnobody got discouraged from

the slow conditions,” he said.Gunner Hoffman was the

first Blue Devil to cross thefinish line at the CCC meet.

Freimuth steps down Division title Plainville’s to lose


With more than400 victories, fivestate champi-onships, and aslew of conferencetitles and personal

accolades on his resume, longtimePlainville High School baseballcoach Bob Freimuth has called it acareer.

Freimuth informed PHS athlet-ics director John Zadnik recentlythat he would not be returning tothe dugout for his 28th season.

Pointing out that Freimuth tookthe reins of the team after RonJones, another highly-successfulcoach, retired, Zadnik said theBlue Devils’ most recent head man“kept the program on the map.”

With Freimuth at the helm,Plainville advanced to seven statefinals, prevailing in five of those.The Blue Devils’ last state titlecame in 2008.

“He has been an outstandingcoach and role model for morethan a quarter century,” Zadniksaid of Freimuth, “and he, alongwith several of his former players,have already been inducted intothe Plainville Sports Hall of Fame.To simply say that he will bemissed by the entire athletic pro-gram at PHS would be a gross un-derstatement. We certainly wishhim nothing but the best in his re-tirement, and we are happy that hewill finally have the time to enjoyhis grandchildren year round.”

The 2011 PHS baseball teamrolled up a record of 13-9 and wasknocked out of the CIAC Class Mstate tournament in the secondround.

Remarkably, the Blue Devilshave not missed out on the postsea-son in more than 30 years.

The search for PHS baseball’snew coach will begin soon; the po-sition will be posted in November.

A second straightCCC South title iswithin its grasp, butthe Plainville boyssoccer team still hasplenty of work to do

in the final eight days of the regularseason.

The Blue Devils suffered the firstblemish on their league record Fri-day with a 2-2 tie at Bristol Eastern, agame that coach Tim Brown hopesprovides a lesson.

Plainville (10-2-1, 10-0-1 CCCSouth) got goals from James Thomp-kins and Daquan King, but lost twoleads.

“It didn’t hurt us” standings-wise,Brown said. “But what it did was ex-pose our soft play in the defensivethird of the field. That has tochange.”

Brown said the Blue Devils willneed a tougher commitment andmore focus in the back if they are toachieve their goals in the next fewweeks, including to challenge for the

Class M state title.Plainville has allowed 16 goals in

13 games, with three shutouts.Brown said his troops are capable ofshutting down teams and protectingtheir net better.

“We could just make it a lot easieron ourselves if we have the right ap-proach, consistently,” Brown said. “Idon’t want us to have to score fourgoals to win a game, and going for-ward into the state tournament theteams are going to be very difficult toplay against.”

The Blue Devils earned their 10thleague win last Tuesday at home,scoring three times in the secondhalf for a 4-0 victory over Middle-town.

King, Thompkins, Nate Chandlerand Allen Mehmedovic each con-tributed goals. Plainville outscoredMiddletown 9-1 in the two games thisseason.

“What I do appreciate about thisteam is they stick to the plan,”Brown said. “They don’t get rattled.We don’t panic. We have the confi-

An up and down stretchfor PHS volleyball


The Lady Blue Devils canbe forgiven for having a bit ofa letdown recently.

After starting out lastweek by besting Middletown— a win which qualified thelocals for the state tourna-ment for just the second timein 10 years, the jubilantPlainville High School vol-leyball team followed up thatperformance by droppingtwo straight matches. TheLady Blue Devils fell to Platt,3-1, and Bristol Eastern, 3-0,and at press time owned arecord of 8-8.

Speaking of the Middle-town and Platt contests,played on consecutive days,PHS coach Steve Compsonsaid “it was one of those oddcoaching situations: I feltbetter about my team thenight we lost then the nightwe won.”

Compson said his troopsseemed “a little distracted”against Middletown. “We gotthe job done, but I wanted itdone in a better way.”

So against Platt, Compsondecided to tweak his lineup.The coach was pleased withthe result. “We played muchbetter than the night before,and though we came up

short, I liked the way weplayed.”

Katie Dressel had somegood hits against Platt, andthe passing of teammatesAlle Caponigro and AliciaGorski was on point.

The Lady Blue Devils tooka step backwards againstleague-leading Bristol East-ern. Plainville came out flatand never recovered.

“We had hoped to showsome growth against them,but did not,” concededCompson. “Our passing hurtus, and when you can’t passit is hard to attack. When theshell doesn’t get to the can-non, you can’t fire it.”

half.Referring to the Bristol

Eastern match up, Wronasaid “not necessarily the bet-ter team won the game.”

The Lady Blue Devils pep-pered Bristol Eastern’s goaliewith shots, but couldn’tsneak one by her. “We misseda couple of chances. Andthey had a very good goal-keeper,” said Wrona. “In girlssoccer, you have a good goal-keeper, you’re in pretty goodshape.”

Plainville closes the regu-lar season with a toughstretch. Central ConnecticutConference South Divisionfoes Platt, Bristol Easternand Berlin are waiting in thewings. “Those three gameswill be great preparation be-fore the tournament,” saidWrona.

This year will mark thePHS girls soccer program’seighth straight appearancein the postseason.

The Blue Devils wereedged by Bristol Central forthe South Division title. Mid-dletown was third.

“We wanted to be upthere,” said Salazar. “Weknow Bristol Central is a re-ally tough competitor, andthey were going to be hard tobeat. But we wanted to have agood, solid run and stay insecond place for the confer-ence.”

Chandler and Thompkinshave been major factors forthe Blue Devils.

Thompkins, a transferfrom Watkinson, has playedin the backfield and in an at-tacking role.

“He’s a kid that can just doanything on the field,”Brown said. “He’s a goodweapon to have. His versatili-ty is an extreme benefit forus.”

Chandler is the engine inthe middle of the field, win-ning 50/50 balls on theground and in the air. “He’stough as nails,” Brown said.

the numbers, but the DOT ar-chitect said he considered theamount on the conservativeside.

Mary Alford, a Bristol

politician and candidate formayor, said she was alarmedat how snow removal wassupposed to be done. She saidBristol officials do not sup-port the busway, but insteadwanted to see rail service in-stituted.

Plainville resident Robert

Pitkin said his daughtercommutes to her job at theAetna Insurance Co. in Hart-ford. It takes about 20 to 25minutes to arrive there. Heestimated it would take atleast twice as long for thesame trip if she rode a bus.What would happen if she

had an emergency at home,he asked.

Sanders said that as a reg-ular rider, she’d be able to getemergency taxi servicehome, which would be paidfor by the transit service.

Maloney assured those inattendance the opinions atthe public hearing would besent to Gov. Dannel Malloy,the DOT and the legislature.Maloney said the hearingwas one of several done to

get input from residents.Markley said he will con-

tinue to fight the busway andconsiders it possible to derailthe proposal right up untilconstruction begins.

Many opponents who at-tended said they wish therehad been a public vote on thebusway and that if a regionalreferendum had been done,more than 60 percent of resi-dents reject the busway andwould “get off the bus.”
