By Ruth Sharp HummelSpecial to The Citizen

It was a scene out of a hor-ror movie — the pilotlessplane spiraling down, mak-ing a horrible noise thatfilled the area.

“There are few sounds inthis world more frighteningthan that of an F-47 in adive,” one citizen declared.

When it hit BohemiaStreet the shock was felt allover the town.

It was Aug. 23, 1948. My(future) husband, Bob, wasat steeple fitch at the time ,repairing the steeple roof onthe Lutheran Church inBristol when he heard thenoise.

From his airy perch he

could see the parachute car-rying Capt. John F. Collins toearth.

There was a large columnof black smoke where theplane cradled on BohemiaStreet on the west side ofPlainville. He scrambleddown to the ground andmade a beeline for Plainville.

The plane had exploded onimpact, spewing burningfuel over lawns and houses atnumbers 50 and 60, the CarloNeri house being in the cen-ter of the conflagration.

Collins, at the time a mem-ber of the Connecticut AirNational Guard, 118 FighterSquadron, was the pilot ofthe powerful airplane whichhurtled to earth from 8,000feet (one report says 10,000).

Fortunately, he was able tobail out of the plane, butbumped himself on the tiresection. Knocking himselfout momentarily, he landedjust over the line intoForestville and was taken toBristol Hospital, where doc-tors said he was not serious-ly injured.

Since this was the secondplane of that model to be inan accident within a weekthey were all promptlygrounded.

Capt. Collins had been inthe lead plane that took offfrom Bradley Field for whatwas to be a training missionbut that was not to be!

His aircraft buried itself

of the Capital building inHartford or down in D.C.,Skip Burritt, former residentof Plainville, is committed tofighting against cancer. Hismotivation is his word to hisfamily and the memory of Al-lison, his wife of 27 years.

Burritt and his daughtersbecame caregivers in 2006

when his wife underwentsurgery for breast cancer.

Confident they would con-quer the disease, she followedup with 29 radiation treat-ments. As a family, they re-mained vigilant with self-ex-ams and testing.

Burritt took his cancerscreenings seriously, too, go-ing for routine colonoscopiesas directed by the AmericanCancer Society guidelines.

“When I came out of theanesthesia I heard the threeworst words that anyoneshould ever hear: ‘You havecancer.’ Our family was dev-astated,” he said.

The Burritts were commit-ted to beating cancer. Afterthey both celebrated beingcancer-free, they joined theRelay for Life of Plainville,where they spoke and in-spired others.

Within months, Allison’scancer returned, but theycontinued their efforts. Bur-ritt recalls the morning hewas told that there was noth-

“When Allison was passedon into the arms of our Lord,it was at that moment Ipledged to her that I would do

Burritt believes his love forAllison and his spirit to fightback drives him to make a dif-ference.

At Toffolon, healthy food for healthy studentsStudents at Louis Toffolon

Elementary School now havesome extra healthy food andbeverage choices in theschool cafeteria because ofthe school’s student council.

Student council members,under the direction of facul-ty member and advisor SueFabrizio, focused on a re-search-based initiative to ex-pand healthy food choices.

“We used to only have piz-za as a lunch choice on Fri-days in the cafeteria, so wewanted to expand the lunchoptions to include somethinghealthier,” Ben Gnazzo, stu-dent council president, said.“Also, with recess beforelunch, many students werevery thirsty during lunchand the water fountain lineswould get very long, so we de-cided to do some researchabout adding bottled water asa drink option in the cafete-ria.”

The student council mem-bers began researching thepossibility of bringing in bot-tled water. They put togethera survey to ask if studentswould prefer small bottledwater as a beverage choicefor lunch.

Another survey questionprovided four healthy foodchoices, asking students toselect which they would pre-fer most.

Student council members at Toffolon ElementarySchool worked to make lunch options healthier.

As a result of the survey,and in working together withFood Services Director JimBondi, a chicken snack wrapoption was added to the lunchmenu and students can nowbuy bottled water.

“It was a pleasure to workwith the Toffolon StudentCouncil members and to heartheir thoughts and ideas onhow to make the Toffolon din-ing experience the best it canbe. I found the Student Coun-cil members to be very wellprepared, open, and articu-late,” said Bondi.

With the empty water bot-tles, the students have started

a new recycling program.“At Toffolon we often talk

about being an active learnerand solving problems appro-priately. These students notonly voiced a concerned butused their communicationskills to gather informationand suggest solutions. I amproud of the work of thesefifth graders,” said Louis Tof-folon Principal, Lynn Lo-goyke.

Student council memberAndrew Kane said, “I wantedto leave a legacy at Toffolon,and I think we did!”

Police resources werestretched to the max justkeeping the crowd back anddirecting traffic. Off duty po-lice were called in to help and

those already in uniformwere held over.

Later in the day local po-lice received relief fromstate police and army units.

One of the people who hadmore or less a ringside seatwas my sister-in-law, JuliaLa Goj Sharp.

Jester often swooped inlow over his parents’ homeon Red Stone Hill in hisplane. This signaled them to

Julia and her friendthought it was his plane thathad crashed and ran to theend of Bohemia and WestMain where they could seethe whole scene. They sat onthe Hurlbert stores steps andate ice cream.

In the meantime, over atRobertson Field, pilotEverett Sevard saw Collins’

plane pull away from the oth-er craft. He saw the pilot bailand the seven ton plane gointo a long power dive.

Col. George R. Stanley, ofthe Air National Guard, ar-rived with a contingent ofsoldiers to “investigate thecause of the accident.”

I could not find any resultsof that investigation.

health notes:Celiac Disease by Kate Taylor, APRN

When Wheat Becomes the EnemyCeliac disease is not a true food allergy but a disease of theimmune system, which is the system of body defenses.The majority of people with the disease go undiagnosedand untreated. Being informed of what exactly celiacdisease is will help you and your primary care providerdiscuss a treatment plan and any other concerns associatedwith the disease.

What is Celiac Disease?Celiac disease can develop at any age, from birth throughlate adulthood. The cause and cure of the disease is currently unknown. It ischaracterized by causing injury to the lining of the small intestines, which aredamaged when someone with celiac disease consumes gluten. As a result, theindividual becomes malnourished as proper absorption of nutrients is nolonger taking place.

What is Gluten?Gluten is a protein found in wheat, rye, and barley. Wheat, however, is alsoadded to a lot of other products that one might not suspect. For example,gluten may be found in ice cream, salad dressings, canned goods, and a hostof other processed foods, as well as prescription medication.

Signs and Symptoms of Celiac Disease:• Abdominal pain, bloating, or gas • Loss of appetite • Fatigue• Unexplained weight loss • Constipation or diarrhea • Hair loss

TreatmentWhile there is no cure for celiac disease, the small intestines will begin toheal if a gluten-free diet is followed for life. Fortunately gluten-free diets andproducts have become increasingly popular and available.

What Happens if you Leave Celiac Disease Untreated?It’s especially important that you discuss celiac disease with your primary careprovider if you think you have the disease. Delaying diagnosis or leaving thedisease untreated places you at a greater risk for osteoporosis, infertility, liverdisease, anemia, and certain intestinal cancers.

Hartford HealthCare’s Primary Care Network is here to help you assess anysymptoms and conduct additional tests if needed. One can live healthy andeat well with or without celiac disease. Your small intestine is relying on you— don’t let it down.

“I am back in town,” he said regarding his store, which isopen from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m.

Singh, who runs the package store at 343 Farmington Ave.with his father Hardial and sister Raman, wants the commu-nity to know that he is back in business, despite a fire thatdevastated his store in 2005.

“We went through a very bad time,” he said referring to asuspicious fire that damaged his business. But now Town andCountry Discount Liquor is back.

“It’s better than before,” said Singh. “There is a bigger se-lection of wine and more craft beers as well.”

As its newest feature, the store, which opened its doorsagain on May 7, offers free wine tastings from 4 to 7 p.m.every Friday and Saturday.

The store is also slightly bigger, following reconstructionthat took nearly three years.

During that time, Singh spent time apart from his familyand lived in locations that included New York City while heand his father worked different jobs to fund the rebuilding oftheir business and save their home.

“Many people don’t realize that we have opened our doorsagain,” Singh said. “We are expecting our old customers backand hope to get some new ones.”

For former star athletesbecoming a coach not always an easy transition

By Bryant CarpenterSpecial to The Citizen

Cheshire softball coachMaureen Hoag DiSorbo andher twin sister/assistantcoach Kathleen Hoag were in-ducted into the Lyman HallHigh School Hall of Famethis spring.

Plainville softball coachJen Micowski will go into theSouthington Hall of Famelater this year for her ex-ploits when she was knownas Jen Gombotz.

And Platt softball coachTrish Wodatch has a Hall ofFame hat trick: Platt HighSchool, Eastern ConnecticutState and Connecticut Soft-ball.

No question, we have a fewarea softball teams led bycoaches who, in their playingdays, were stars. All four ofthe above were All-Statescholastic players who wenton to checkered college ca-reers before becoming men-tors to the next generation.

Which brings to mind theold Ted Williams adage ofhow great players can some-

Plainville softball coach Jen Micowski, a former standout at Southington HighSchool as Jen Gombotz, has a conference with her players on the mound during agame against Platt in Meriden. Micowski is one of several former area high schoolathletes who have translated their success as players to the coaching ranks inhigh school.

times make for terriblecoaches. It’s a simple posit:The star is so gifted and sodriven that ordinary talentor intensity cannot be

brooked or even understood.And so there is poor con-

nection, little nurturing.Splendid splinters begin tofester.

Perhaps if Teddy Ball-game was a school teacherhe’d have done better withhis Senators. That’s some-thing state senators might

want to chew on while wran-gling with Gov. Dannel Mol-loy over education reform.Teaching, after all, is thecoaching bedrock for Wo-datch, Micowski and theHoag sisters. What they do onthe sidelines isn’t solelybased on what they once didon the field. It also rests onwhat they do in the class-room.

As Kathleen Hoag re-marked, “I think coaching, byany other word is teaching,and Maureen and I are bothteachers. It’s just anotherway of breaking down andteaching a different strategyand making sure if they don’thave that skill set, you findanother way to teach it tothem.”

The Hoags, who led LymanHall to the 1998 Class LL soft-ball championship before go-ing on to SCSU (Maureen)and Notre Dame (Kathleen),are social studies teachers atCheshire High.

Blue Devil NotesBy Jim Bransfield

Special to The Citizen

The Plainville High boys finishedthird and the girls were fifth in theCentral Connecticut ConferenceSouth Division track and field meetheld in the rain at Berlin High May22.

Bristol Central won both champi-onships, edging Middletown 152-147to take home the boys title, and beat-ing Berlin 190.3-149 to sweep win thegirls crown. Bristol Central is theoverall girls champion, but willshare the overall CCC-South crownwith Middletown as the Blue Drag-ons beat the Rams in the dual meetseason, the first CCC-South meetCentral has lost in eight years.

The Blue Devil boys finished with118.5 points, well ahead of fourthplace Maloney, which had 71 points.

“This has been a very successful

season,” said Plainville coachShaun Berard. “I am proud that theoverall attitude on the boys team isthat we can compete with Middle-town and Bristol Central. Both ofthose teams have been very success-ful over the past decade and in thepast we looked at them as unbeat-able. Although we fell about 30points behind them at the CCC-South meet, the boys showed a lotheart in their efforts.”

Adam Foster was the star for theBlue Devils, winning both the 100and 200 meters to become CCC-South champion in both. His win-ning time in the 100 was 11.1 secondsand he turned in a time of 22 sec-onds flat in the 200.

Other strong performances forPlainville included Malik Gordon,who took second in both the 300 me-ter hurdles and the high jump,Kevin Waite, who took third in the

100 meters, Pete Dalena, who tooksecond in the pole vault, Brian Lis-ter and Domenick D’Onofrio, whowere second and third respectivelyin the 400 meter dash and SheliahNewcity, who finished third in the300 hurdles.

“Malik has been very consistentall season,” said Berard. “I was im-pressed with Pete’s pole vault. Hisprevious best until about two weeksago was eight feet. That he was ableto clear 10 feet in the rain was im-pressive.”

Berard said things are looking upfor next season.

“Right now I would pin us at be-ing in third place right behind Cen-tral and Middletown,” he said. “Ourjunior class is good and our entire4x800 and 4x400 relay teams will beback along with just about all of ourdistance runners. But first we mustfocus on the Class M meet.”

Shea Echols and Alle Caponigrowere the top performers for the BlueDevil girls. Caponigro won the CCC-South shot put championship with athrow of 33 feet, seven inches. Shewas second in the discus and thirdin the javelin.

“Caponigro was definitely our topscorer and top finisher in all of ourmeets this year,” said coach RobinMills. “She is a great athlete andwill be going on to throw at CentralConnecticut State in the fall.”

Echols was third in the 100 me-ters, fifth in the 200 meters andfourth in the long jump. Other no-table performances were DelaneyRussell, who grabbed sixth in the800 meters and Erica Mikulak, whotook third in the discus.

“Our record of 4-3 was partiallydue to the scoring our throwers got,”

said Mills. “We had an aver-age of 20 out of a possible 27points in the three throwingevents.”

Plainville’s girls finishedwith 64.5 points for fifthplace. The Blue Devils trailedfourth place Maloney, whichhad 77 points and finishedahead of Platt (57.7), Middle-town (56.5) and Bulkeley (5points).

CoachContinued from page 19

in the mid-90s who was evenbetter at basketball (that’sthe sport she played at Provi-dence College), teaches mathat Plainville High.

Wodatch, a two-time soft-ball All-American at ECSU attwo different positions in the1980s, teaches P.E. and healthat Platt.

It’s the teacher in themthat provides patience whilecurbing the frustration ofthe past player. Because thelatter hasn’t gone away: A lit-tle Teddy Ballgame remainsin each of them.

“It’s always something youstruggle with, especially ifyou’re competitive,” said Mi-cowski. “It’s tough to bringthat out of people from timeto time. You’ve got to work onit every day. It takes repeti-tion; it takes desire to get bet-ter. Sometimes you coachpeople and they peak andplateau, and they’re satisfiedwith what they are. It getsfrustrating sometimes to tryto push them over that humpand challenge them to keepgetting better and not to set-tle.”

Said Hoag DiSorbo, “WhenI first started coaching (in2004) it was difficult only be-cause the intensity and pas-sion I had, I assumed everysoftball player had that, but itwasn’t the same.”

And this from Wodatch,who is in her 14th seasonwith the Panthers after start-ing her coaching career at thecollege level: “Patience? Ohmy god, patience is a virtue,I’ll tell you that.”

Although interviewed sep-arately, the head coachesvoiced similar thoughtsabout how female sports havechanged.

With much busier livesand far more distractions,

players aren’t as committednowadays. Focus is lacking.

“All I did when I was inschool was play sports; I hadthe time to devote to it,” saidMicowski. “My heart goesout to kids because they’repulled in 20 million differentdirections. A lot of stress onthem these days.”

Out-of-season opportuni-ties — AAU, travel ball — aremore numerous, yet aren’tnecessarily producing betterplayers. Once the domain ofelite athletes, travel pro-grams are now more the do-main of those who can paythe fee.

“I feel like we’re missingthe fundamentals,” said HoagDiSorbo. “When I was little, Iwas taught fundamentals, Iwas taught the game ... I’m ahead coach and I’m stillteaching high school playershow to slide and that theyhave to tag (up) with less thantwo outs.”

This drives the old playersnuts. Yet in the next breath,the teacher in them comesforth to say how much theylove their players.

“I have a great time withthese guys,” said Wodatch.“Do I get mad in an inningwhere we make all these mis-takes? Absolutely. Do I wantto pull my hair out and getgray hair? Absolutely, and Ido get them. But at the end,they are still great kids andthey are great role models forthe kids at the younger level.On the field and in the class-room, these kids are greatand I wouldn’t trade ‘em foranything.”

So they coach who they’vegot and this is where teach-ing method is far handierthan athletic ability. In thisera of inclusion, it’s the rareclass taught in a uniformway.

“You can’t go into the class-room thinking that one styleof teaching or a lesson plan is

going to work,” said HoagDiSorbo. “I have studentswho are visual learners; Ihave students with cognitivedisabilities that require ac-commodations to their learn-ing. I do the best I can to scaf-fold a lot of my teaching.”

The term is “modifica-tion,” and it readily trans-lates to the field.

“Not every player reactsthe same way and can becoached the same way,” HoagDiSorbo said. “I learned thatearly on and it was difficultfor me my first couple yearscoaching. It took some timeto recognize every player isdifferent and I have to be ableto adjust my coaching tomake sure my girls are per-forming at their max. Thereare some kids who respondwell to the yells and the nega-tive reinforcement andthere’s some that need to beloved up and given positivereinforcement.”

“Loved up” was probablynot in the Ted Williams man-agerial lexicon. On area dia-monds it is, even among fieryand fantastic former players.

“I think I’ve learned pa-tience over the years; I thinkI’ve calmed down in the senseof not getting frustrated withthem and flying off the han-dle. I kind of think a littlemore. I’ve matured more inthat aspect,” said Wodatch.“If a kid in my class is doingpoorly, you sit ‘em down andtalk to them and get themthrough it, if they’re goingthrough things. It’s the sameon the field. It’s enjoyable todo.

“And that’s what my col-lege coach said, ‘We’re goingto win some, we’re going tolose some, but you have tohave fun; you have to enjoyit.’ I still do. I’ll still coach tillI’m done having fun.”
