like everybody else.”Plainville Town Manager

Robert E. Lee said the num-bers of people coming to theshelter have steadily in-creased since it opened onSaturday, with Monday beingthe busiest day since itopened with about 150 to 200people coming in that day,and more expected as thetemperatures dropovernight.

“We think we can handle itso far,” Lee said. “We’ve gotone gym open, we’ve got thecafeteria, we do have Wi-Fihere, so people can hook intothe Internet. We do haveshowers, hot water’s work-ing, pretty much a full-serv-ice shelter right now.”

Lee said the decision to de-clare the shelter a regionalone was to be able to get moreresources. He said there is a100 percent outage in thetown, and there isn’t anyonehe’s aware of who has power,but the shelter will not closeuntil the need for it is gone.

“We’re not going to kickpeople out of here if theydon’t have a place to go or a

warm place to stay,” Lee said.“So we’ll stay open as long asneeded.”

Lee said the power compa-ny, Connecticut Light andPower, was told to make thehigh school the No. 1 priorityfor the town so it could beused.

“But we haven’t heardmuch about the rest of the

restoration,” Lee said. “Andthat’s the frustrating part.”

Plainville Fire MarshalLarry Sutherland said onTuesday said there are aboutthree crews working to makedowned wire areas safe fordebris pickup, and thatprocess hopefully will bedone by the end of the day.Power restoration, he said,

was another story.“I’d love to tell you this af-

ternoon,” Sutherland said.“But I think to be more hon-est with you, probably holdon through the weekend.”

Sutherland added he’d be“very happy” if power cameon in five days.

Plainville Police Sgt.Charles Smedick said therehas been a “fair amount” ofmotor vehicle accidents at in-tersections where trafficlights are not working,though no serious injurieshave been reported.

“Unfortunately, peoplearen’t stopping when the traf-fic light is out like they’resupposed to,” Smedick said.“They just figure they can flythrough them.”

As Smedick said, if anydriver approaches an inter-section where a traffic lightis not working, they are ad-vised to treat it as if it were astop sign.

Plainville resident BrendaHammick on Monday saidshe was at the shelter Sundaynight and plans to stay again.A resident of Lincoln Street,she said she is staying withher grandson, daughter andson in-law in the shelter.

“Lost power, it’s freezing inthere, I can’t get the gas fire-place to go,” Hammick said ofher situation at home. “And Ihad my grandson there and itjust got to be too cold.”

While at the shelter, Ham-mick said she has becomemore a volunteer, helping outwith the elderly or any otherhandicapped people. She saidshe has been thoroughly im-pressed and satisfied with theway the shelter has been run.

Letters to the EditorPrivilegeto serve

To the editor:It has been my honor and

privilege to have served onthe Plainville Board of Edu-cation for the last 12 years. Iwould like to thank the citi-zens of Plainville for elect-ing me and putting theirtrust in me. Although I amnot seeking re-election, I feelthe need to thank everyoneand to encourage all to voteon Election Day, Nov. 8.

Every member of the towncouncil and board of educa-tion has been elected to servethe town. We are volunteerswho often have differentideas about how to accom-plish what is best for thecommunity but we should beable to work together, cometo consensus, agree to dis-agree if necessary and moveforward. We live in a small

community and we all haveto live and work together.

Lately, it has become fash-ionable to make false accusa-tions and inaccurate state-ments about the action andintentions of local officials.These statements made innewspapers or in publicmeetings are counterproduc-tive and serve only to under-mine the trust of the citizensof Plainville. What Plainvilleresidents need to know isthat there are people, justlike them, who are volun-teering to fill these difficultpositions for the sole pur-pose of giving back to ourtown.

I urge you to take the timeto vote on Election Day, Nov.8. Your vote counts more lo-cally than nationally.

By Nick CarrollThe Plainville Citizen

Former Plainville HighSchool football coachRocky Gagliardi said re-turning to Alumni Fieldlast week was an “emotion-al” event.

Gagliardi left the BlueDevils after the 2009 sea-son, and this year joinedJohn Capodice’s staff atBerlin.

Plainville and Berlinclashed Friday night. Thevisiting Redcoats came outon top, 21-18.

Watching game filmleading up to the Week 7match up Gagliardi saw alot of Blue Devils he knew.

“It brought me back.Those kids were special.They gave me everythingthey had … I wish nothingbut the best for those kids,”he said.

The veteran coach feelsthe same about his formerassistants who remain atPlainville. “It’s odd facingthem,” he said.

During Gagliardi’s two-year tenure at Plainville,the Blue Devils had smallrosters and managed justone win. Still, the always-upbeat Gagliardi said he“enjoyed” his time at PHS.“But I’ve moved on. I love


Some years, the PlainvilleHigh School football teamwould be happy to simplyplay Berlin close — win orlose.

This is not one of those

years.“I don’t want to hear any-

thing about moral victories,and that kind of stuff,” saidPHS coach Chris Farrell af-ter his team fell to Berlin, 21-18, Friday — Homecoming —at Alumni Field.

“I think we were the better

team tonight. We didn’t dowhat we were supposed to do.It wasn’t good enoughtonight.”

The Blue Devils dropped to3-4 with the loss. Berlin im-proved to 6-1.

“I knew they were going tocome out and play hard,”BHS coach John Capodicesaid of the host team. “Theylost two in a row. They have agood group of skill kids. It’stheir Homecoming. Theycame out and competed like Ithought they would.”

Plainville took a 6-0 lead inthe first quarter on a run byKevin Waite.

Berlin answered late in theperiod when Mitch Williamsconnected with Tommy Un-dercuffler for a score.

The Redcoats carried a 7-6edge into the second, andsoon their lead was 15-6.

Berlin’s second TD camebefore the break on a fumblerecovery and return by An-thony Duong. The turnoverwas caused by Chris Meucci.

“Tonight we made somemistakes, and they kind ofkilled us,” Farrell lamented.Speaking of the fumble andensuing touchdown, the sec-ond-year coach said “that’sthe game right there.”

The Blue Devils had a lot offight left in them however.

A TD pass from Dean De-martinis to Nick Moshiermade it a three-point game athalftime.

Demartinis took over be-hind center for Tony Lopizzo,

who went down with an ankleinjury early in the game.

“It was my first time start-ing out there. I didn’t knowwhat to expect,” said Demar-tinis. “The first play you getthe jitters. After that you justsilence everything out, and Ijust started playing. I did all Icould.”

Demartinis impressed hiscoach. “He stepped up bigtime,” said Farrell. “He camein, took control of the offenseand did an excellent job.”

In the third, Undercufflerstruck for his second touch-down, this one on a short run.Undercuffler manufactured213 total yards on the night.

With time running out tostage a comeback, Waite (120yards) broke free for a longTD run that closedPlainville’s deficit to three inthe final frame.

But the Redcoats would notbe denied.

On the drive following theWaite score, Berlin managedto burn up the clock, goingagain and again to Undercuf-fler to solidify the victory.

ished the game off,” Capodicesaid of his troops. “We madea couple of mistakes that al-lowed them to stay in thegame. Fortunately we wereable to hang in there, get be-hind our offensive line andTommy, and drive the thingdown and finish it.”

That night, as didPlainville, Berlin lost a keyplayer to injury. Runningback Scott McLeod went tothe bench with a hyper-ex-tended leg. His replacement,Kevin Main, did an ad-mirable job, and along withUndercuffler, came up bigduring the Redcoats’ finaldrive.

coaching football, so I had tofind a place somewhere.”

To Gagliardi’s delight,PHS football has experienceda renaissance as of late. In2010 the Blue Devils qualifiedfor the CIAC Class M stateplayoffs and won the CentralConnecticut Conference Di-vision IV title. This fall,Plainville has generatedthree victories, and nearlychalked up win No. 4 againstBerlin.

“I’m so happy for the suc-cess they’ve had in the pro-gram. The program has real-ly stepped up,” said Gagliar-di.

Speaking of last week’sgame, the journeyman coachsaid “we knew this was go-ing to be a dog fight. It was agreat high school footballgame.”

“It’s not about me. It’sabout Berlin and Plainville,”Gagliardi added. “The kidswent out and competed forpride, and their towns, andwe were lucky to get out ofhere with a victory.”

Blue Devil’s NotesWhen the Plainville High

School girls soccer teamplays its final game in theCIAC Class M state tourna-ment, an era will have cometo an end.

The Lady Blue Devils arelosing four players to gradu-ation, four-year starters JillNewton, Lexxi Carroll,Megan Dixon and KelseyChacho.

The four are team cap-tains.

“The four seniors on theteam are true leaders,” saidPHS coach Leszek Wrona.“These girls are running theshow. I call them the FourMusketeers.”

Dixon plays in the back.Newton, Carroll and Chachocontrol the midfield.

Not only have the seniorsled the Lady Blue Devils to alot of wins, but Wrona indi-cated they also serve asgreat ambassadors for theprogram.

“They’re extremely greatgirls, great students,” saidWrona. “It’s a pleasure forme to be on the field withthem for those couplemonths a year.”

It appears the PlainvilleHigh School swim team’sNicole Basile has a bright fu-ture ahead of her. The versa-tile freshman competes inthe individual medley, but-

terfly, backstroke and breast-stroke, and has manufac-tured a lot of points for thesurging Lady Blue Devils.

PHS coach RandyDoucette is not surprisedBasile has made a splashthis fall. “She was a goodswimmer last year. I knewshe came in with some tal-ent,” he said.

Basile’s sister, Sarah, is asenior captain on the team.

“Sometimes I match themup intentionally,” Doucettesaid of the sisters. “I thinkNicole likes it. I don’t thinkSarah likes it. She can’t getbeat by her younger sister.”

The Plainville HighSchool volleyball teamcapped its regular seasonslate last week with a 3-2 vic-tory over visiting Berlin. Ac-cording to PHS coach SteveCompson, it was a fittinghome finale for his seniorteam members.

Compson commented oneach of the seniors.

Nikki Dow: “Nikki has agreat deal of wild enthusi-asm. She brings a certaincharm to the game. We arenever quite sure what Nikkiis going to do next.”

Sam Zaza: “Sammy Samhas really filled a role for usthis year. She has become agreat passer in the back rowand her serving has im-

proved. She has been a verysteady player for us thisyear, improving the mentalgame a great deal.”

Kendra Palaia: “Aftersophomore year, I really didnot think she would be onthe team. But Kendra keptworking, hustling and im-proving, and Coach Roy sawsomething in her that I didnot. To everything this yearshe brings the hustle andthe smile … She makesthings better for her team-mates.”

Jenna Florance: “Whenshe is in a hitting groove,she is hard to stop. I reallyfelt she should have been anall-conference selection last

year. Over the last few yearsa number of fans — oursand from other teams —have stopped after a game tocompliment our players.Jenna has been a favorite ofthose people the last twoyears. A number of coacheshave agreed.”

Lindsey Allario: “Lindseywants to do it all. She wantsto pass the ball, set it andthen hit it. I think shewould gladly take first andthird ball on every play.What sets her apart as oursetter isthe hustle she has and thehustle she brings out in oth-ers. Any drill we do she willforce her way into the start-

ing action. Don’t get in frontof her or she will moveyou.”

Alle Caponigro: “Alle hasbeen one of the legacy groupof Blue Devils. Some play-ers’ efforts go beyond thecurrent team; they impactthe next group of players …I hope she has helped tomake some more like herself… She was not our best hit-ter, not our best server, notour best passer, but she wasdamn good at all thosethings, and was often theglue that helped hold us to-gether.”

— Nick Carroll

just had to turn it around inthe second half to get the W,”said Main, who believesBerlin is on track to return tothe postseason. “We’re justgoing to work hard in prac-tice and try to go 1-0 everyweek. We’re thinking play-offs all the way.”

Plainville, on the otherhand, has to settle for a moremodest goal. The Blue Devilsappeared in the postseason in2010, but won’t get there thisyear.

“These seniors don’t wantto go down like this. Theywon’t let this team quit,” saidFarrell. “We want to finishabove .500. It’s something thisprogram isn’t used to seeinga lot of. The seniors want tomake sure we finish the sea-son the best that we possiblycan.”

Devils primed for postseason: ‘Bring on all comers’

Photo by Patrick Matthews

Allen Mehmedovic and the Plainville High Schoolboys soccer team’s other seniors are looking to endtheir careers in style.


The wintry weather as oflate has put a temporary haltto the high school sports sea-son, and likely postponed achampionship celebrationby the Plainville High Schoolboys soccer team.

The Blue Devils were slat-

ed to play Bristol CentralMonday and Berlin Tuesday,but both games were put onhold. A win or a tie in eitherof those matchups would so-lidify the Central Connecti-cut South Division champi-onship for Plainville — itssecond straight divisionalcrown.

The last action the Blue

Devils saw was on Oct. 25,when they bested Platt, 4-1,to improve to 11-2-1.

“It’s a double-edge sword,”PHS coach Tim Brown saidof the long layoff. “You wantto keep them sharp, but youdon’t want them tired. A lotof guys on my side play a lotof minutes, and those guysneed some rest. I think, col-lectively, the rest is not hurt-ing us too much. It keepskids hungry to play.”

And this is the time ofyear when players should beat their most tenacious.

State tournaments areslated to begin next week,and Plainville has its sightsset on making a deep run inClass M.

“I feel we will do well inthe state tournament. Everyone is playing extremelywell. I’m very optimistic,”said Brown.

“I’ve seen a few teams. Iknow who’s out there. Quitefrankly, I don’t care where

we go or who we play. Bringon all comers. I feel we de-serve (a shot at the title), andthe only way you’re going toprove that is by playing thebest teams out there. I’m notlooking for an easy pass, andthe boys aren’t. If we get tothe final, I want to get therebecause we’ve earned it.”

A trip to the Class M finalswould be a fitting end to thescholastic careers ofPlainville’s senior contin-gent of Daquan King, AllenMehmedovic, Admir Kandic,Marek Narewski, Nate Chan-dler and Patrick Yung.

“Their careers are comingto an end, and it’s really bit-tersweet,” said Brown. “Ithink this group of seniors ispoised like no other to win astate championship. I believethis is probably thestrongest, most well-roundedside we’ve had.

“This group of seniors isin a position to win it all. Istress to them how impor-

tant that is, because theymay not have an opportunitylike this again in college, orwhere ever they play. Thismight be their chance. Get-ting a young man to under-stand that is not the easiestthing to do. They aren’t for-ward thinking. They don’tthink in the future. Theythink ‘today.’”

The Blue Devils certainlywill be hit hard by gradua-tion, but Brown expectsPlainville to turn in anothersuccessful campaign in 2012,and beyond.

One guy the locals willlean on over the next coupleof seasons is sophomore An-drew Rottier.

“He’s a kid who is really,really important to us,”Brown said of the midfielder.“He’s a good distributor go-ing forward, he’s tough. Hehas a massive engine,courage, heart. He just does-n’t stop.”

ter, food, showers – a lot ofplaces don’t do that.”

Sutherland said the Feder-al Emergency ManagementAgency and the NationalGuard were scheduled tocome by on Tuesday and un-load a five to six days’ supplyworth of food and water.

Plainville Community Li-brary Director Peter Chasewas at the shelter helpingout, watching the door to thegymnasium. Though theshelter is regional and any-one can come, they mustproperly register at the doorto make sure there is a prop-er headcount and enoughcots. Those registered aregiven a green wristband theymust present in order to getinto the gymnasium. Chasesaid the library has con-tributed in another way aswell.

“We brought a wholebunch of boxes of booksfrom the Friends of the Li-brary that we’re distribut-ing, they’re donations,” hesaid.

State Rep. Elizabeth “Bet-ty” Boukus eventually tookover the security spot at thedoor, making sure everyonethat went in the gym wassupposed to be in there. Shesaid this storm seems to havea much bigger loss than

when Irene hit, and it’s possi-ble numbers will only growas word spreads that the shel-ter is open, since a lot of peo-ple have lost lines of commu-nication and must rely onword of mouth.

“It was a beautiful day to-day, but as the temperaturesstart to really drop you’regonna see a big influx,”Boukus said.

Derek Cumberland of theRed Cross said there wereabout 180 to 200 cots in thegym on Monday, and an or-der was put in for about 150more to plan for the expectedovernight numbers.

Farmington residentBrigid Gilhooly said she is

staying overnight at the shel-ter with her daughter andboyfriend. She said she hasno power and no heat at herhouse.

“I’m very appreciative [ofthe shelter], but I feel allmixed up inside,” Gilhoolysaid about being displaced.

Sutherland said there aremany safety tips residentsshould take into account ifthey plan to stay at homewith no power. He said litcandles should always bemonitored and not left unat-tended while burning, andgas stoves can be a hazard be-cause of carbon monoxidebuildup. He said one childhad to be taken to the hospi-

tal for observation from car-bon monoxide.

“Alternative heating

sources can be dangerous,”Sutherland said. “But if usedwisely, they’re fine.”

the state’s economy by creat-ing partnerships with educa-tional institutions like theUniversity of Hartford, Wes-leyan University, and Yale,among others, and also hospi-tals.

“The idea is to go aheadand connect the dots and getpartnerships between indus-tries as far as manufacturing,the educational industry asfar as the universities are go-ing, and the majority of themedical [industry] which isusually hospitals primarily,”Bailey said.

He said doctors and nurseswill get the opportunity toalso see how things are made,and also to bounce aroundideas they might have for aproduct to make it better.

“This is an opportunity tocome here, to see how thingsare made, see what’s new onthe market,” Bailey said.“And then we go ahead and of-fer them the opportunity toask questions.”

At IMP’s Spring Lane facil-


Dr. Alan Reznik, right, explains how his patented Uni-versal Shoulder Positioner is used on a mock patient.The patient has his/her arm inserted into a splint,which is then suspended in the air to make part of theshoulder more easily accessible to the surgeon.

ity, many doctors and repre-sentatives of Connecticut or-ganizations gathered to takea peek at some of IMP’s prod-ucts. One of the featuredproducts, called the “Lap-Wrap” was on display.

The LapWrap is a restraintof sorts that wraps around

the patient from behind theback when the patient is lay-ing down face-up. There arestraps that attach via Velcrothat keep the arms at the pa-tient’s side during surgery,since arms, when relaxed,have a tendency to fall off tothe side, so it helps prevent

shoulder injuries and elbowhyperextensions. It also al-lows for easy access to IVtubes.

Bailey also discussed thecompany’s gel product,called “Tuffease” an originalproduct made by IMP thatuses a plant-based oil, so it isbio-degradable and eco-friendly. The gel is verysticky and incapable of slip-ping, but is soft and comfort-able and leaves no residue onskin or clothes. It is also veryelastic and a small squarecan stretch out to at least 10feet. Bailey said he has re-kindled communicationswith the Veterans AffairsHospital in West Haven andhopes to be able to helptroops coming home withamputated limbs by using itin prosthetic limbs.

The gel is fused on to oneside of a special fabric thatwicks away moisture, sinceperspiration causes a lot ofdiscomfort for amputees us-ing prosthetic limbs, accord-ing to Bailey. The gel itselfabsorbs and displaces shockthat comes when stepping off

a step or any other hard orunexpected impact thatwould be uncomfortable.

The Tuffease gel is usedon several of IMP’s productsto prevent slippage duringsurgeries, like for the splintused for the Reznik Univer-sal Shoulder Positioner. Thisproduct, designed by Dr.Alan Reznik, suspends a pa-tient’s arm in the air makingparts of the shoulder moreeasily accessible for the sur-geon. Reznik said he hasbeen using a prototype of theproduct for years, but calledupon IMP to make the sys-tem into what it is today.

“The reality is, we neededa company that had the ex-pertise to bring my inven-tion to life, and at the end ofthe day, these guys did just aphenomenal job,” saidReznik, who was at the openhouse to demonstrate hispatented product.

“Our gel pad line would bea good example of a genericproduct that is something weknow we have a better quali-ty, we have a better price, yet
