The Plainville

CCititizizeennBy Crystal MaldonadoThe Plainville Citizen

By 9 a.m., poll moderator Domenic Mainsaid Wheeler Elementary School had alreadyseen an influx of voters.

“We’ve had about 400 already,” he said. “Isuspect it’ll continue this way until about 5o’clock.”

Across Plainville, as residents shuffled inand out of polling places, usually leavingwith an “I Voted Today” sticker on their shirtor coat, signs pointed to a busy day.

The previous day, Nov. 5, Plainville’s regis-trars of voters estimated that it would be.

“I expect a big turnout,” Beth Gasparini,Republican registrar, said. “And, because ofthe debacle in Bridgeport last year, we or-dered almost 100 percent of the ballots. Thelast thing we want is for people to say theyaren’t able to vote.”

Registrar employees agreed that presiden-tial election years draw a bigger crowd to thepolls than usual.

“It’s practically double,” Jean Lombardo,Democratic registrar, said.

“It’s been moving along pretty good. We’vegotten about 100 people an hour for the first

three hours,” Bill Chartier, poll moderator atToffolon Elementary School, said. “I kind offeel it’ll be that way all day. The flow is alwaysgreater during presidential elections.”

As of Nov. 5, 10,729 Plainville residents hadregistered to vote, with 3,901 registered asDemocrats; 2,160 registered at Republican;4,659 as unaffiliated; and 9 as other. It was ap-proximately a 1 percent increase from the2008 election, when 10,536 individuals wereregistered to vote, and an even bigger jumpfrom later September 2012, when only 10,346were registered.

Throughout the day Nov. 6, volunteers ateach polling station held political signs,while some of the candidates even made anappearance.

Democrat Betty Boukus, who was runningfor state representative, started at LindenStreet School, while Scott Saunders, her Re-publican opponent, arrived at Our Lady ofMercy Parish Center at 6 a.m.

“We’ve been working so hard,” said Saun-ders, who was feeling “good” and “excited”about the election. “Traffic has been, by myinterpretation, very heavy, which I think is

‘Constant’ stream of residents registered to voteBy Crystal MaldonadoThe Plainville Citizen

“It’s been insane,” SueAbram, deputy Democraticregistrar, said the morningbefore Election Day.

Wearing a silver broochthat read “vote,” Abram andher co-workers – Beth Gas-parini, Republican registrar;Jean D. Lombardo, Democra-tic registrar; and Jo Rosinski,deputy Republican registrar– were gearing up for the 2012Presidential Election.

Outside the office, fourpumpkins, each with a letterto spell out the word “vote,”offered residents a reminderto get to the polls.

With just a day to spare un-til Election Day, the regis-trar’s office was alreadybustling at 8:30 a.m.

“People have been poppingin all morning,” Gasparinisaid. “They ask questions,some ask if they’re regis-tered. Many don’t realizethey already are.”

The stream of people intown who were coming in toregister over the last few

months was “constant,” saidGasparini. From late Sep-tember to early Novemberalone, more than 350 resi-dents registered.

“We really did get quite afew more registering to votethan normal because it’s apresidential election year,”Gasparini said.

As many as 10 peoplewould stop by to register dai-ly.

“We get quite a few every

day,” Lombardo said. The busiest day, however,

was the final day for in-per-son registration, with nearly50 citizens dropping by theoffice. Initially, that final reg-istration date was scheduledfor Oct. 30. Because of Hurri-cane Sandy, Gov. Dannel Mal-loy issued an extension toNov. 1.

Abram said she expectedthe office to be busy Nov. 6 aswell. Residents who weren’t

registered to vote, but whowanted to vote for the presi-dent, would stop by.

“They want to vote for the

president, but they don’t real-ly care about the other candi-dates,” Abram said.

Gasparini estimated theyget around 100 or so residentswho come in for that purpose.

“Last time, there werelines,” she said.

So how did the women ofthe registrar’s office preparefor Election Day?

“Drink!” Gasparini saidwith a laugh.

Adventures with Obi

Happy “Howl”-o-ween (and howl he sure did)By Crystal MaldonadoThe Plainville Citizen

I’d been thinking aboutHalloween for weeks beforeit had arrived.

In stores, I was drawn toall of the pint-sized cos-tumes that might fit Obi.(Bill and I ended up with five– baseball jersey, Batmancape, hotdog, lion and socksthat made him look like amonster. I will take full re-sponsibility for being unableto resist small clothing.)

We had costumes to matchwhat would be Obi’s officialcostume, a Cowardly Lionsuit – I was to be DorothyGale, while Bill would be theScarecrow, all from “TheWizard of Oz.” I had thegingham dress and bow; Billhad the straw hat and trian-gle nose. Obi had the littlered bow on his lion tail a lathe film.

The three of us did an im-

promptu photo shoot inwhich we tried to get at leastone photo where our cos-tumes were showing and we

were all looking at the cam-era and didn’t look miser-able. (Ugh.)

Our apartment was deco-rated. An orange bucket be-side the door was filled withcandy in preparation forthe kids who’d be ringingour doorbell.

We even bought a tinypumpkin that we made Obipose for a photo with. (Nosmall feat. Do you knowhow difficult it can be to getyour dog to sit still whenyou want him to? Sureenough, minutes later,when you’re not trying totake a photo, though, he’llzonk out on the couch andrefuse to move until it’sbedtime.)

The point is: we wereready. So ready for Hal-loween. So ready to pass outcandy and hear “trick ortreat” a hundred times andadmire all the costumes.

Only that’s not exactly

what happened.You see, we thought we

had planned for everything.We were wrong. Becauseonce that doorbell rang, allbets were off – Obi washowling and barking at thedoor like there was a tastysteak on the other side justwaiting to be chomped on.

He’d never bite, of course,and it’s cute how ferocioushe thinks he is when he ac-tually weighs less than aThanksgiving turkey – butkids are looking for treats,not tricks. Most just wantedto have the adults on the oth-

The days of horse-drawn delivery serviceCommentary

By Ruth Sharp HummelSpecial to The Citizen

In the golden age of hors-es, everything was deliveredto your door by four footedpower.

Bakery, milk, oil, gro-ceries and firewood – youname it.

In Plainville, people re-member (or perhaps remem-ber their parents talkingabout) these convenient con-nivances.

A man named “PopDiters” lived at the corner of

Canal and Broad, and was agreat photographer, as wellas a gentleman with a goodeye for the passing scene. Hetook a marvelous series ofphotos of horse-drawn deliv-ery wagons, the horses andthe drivers. They are all infront of his house, or at leastvery close by.

The Plainville HistoricalSociety is fortunate to havetwo of his shots of a horsedrawn funeral, showing thehearse and closed carriages.It must have been bittercold, as the drivers are wait-

ing outside the old Catholicchurch (Diters’ house is inthe background) huddled upand looking cold, slappingtheir arms.

I guess one of my favoritesis a picture of milkmanGeorge P. Hart delivering hisproduct. Again, he is in frontof Diters home.

There is a story about Mr.Hart and his strange nick-name of “Pigtail.” This hardworking gent belonged to agroup of friends who lovedto play practical jokes. Whenone autumn, one of themslaughtered a hog, theynailed its tail to the back ofhis milk wagon. For sometime he wondered why folkssnickered when they sawhim drive by. It took a whilebefore he discovered the rea-son. Today’s photo is fromthe author’s post card collec-tion and was taken about1912.

Rogers Bakery deliveredto all of the surroundingtowns by horse, year round.In winter, the familiar greenwagons were taken off theirwheels and put on runnersand the horse was shod withwinter shoes and so the flowof delicious products contin-ued. They set out before day-

light, side lanterns lit, andreturned after dark. The bak-ery horses were kept in abarn in back of the originalbakery, which was takendown quite some time ago.These horses also pulled theearly fire equipment. One ofthe Rogers Bakery wagonslives on at the Plainville His-torical Society.

Hirds grocery store teamon Central Square drove tothe outlying areas one day aweek and took orders. A cou-ple of days later the horse

and delivery wagon madethe same trip delivering or-ders.

When telephones becamemore numerous, the “order-ing” trip was discontinuedand when they bought theirdelivery “liners” the horseand delivery wagon were re-tired.

The Plainville Lumberand Coal Company previous-ly known as the Pierce Lum-ber and Coal, on PierceStreet delivered their prod-ucts by horse-drawn wagonand huge winter sleds, espe-cially for the coal. As late as1970 some folks in town re-membered the great horsesthe lumber and coal compa-

household. We may pack alarger household with morefood,” Woerz said. “We try toaccommodate for each fami-ly.”

Distributions will be givenout in bulk the Saturday be-fore Thanksgiving, Nov. 17. In2011, 30 volunteers helpedfamilies get their food for theholiday.

But the pantry wouldn’t beable to create the basketswithout a little help.

“There are a lot of individ-uals and companies who arehelping us with the holidaybaskets, which is awesomebecause it takes the strainfrom our budget,” Woerz

said.Although food and mone-

tary donations regularlystream in to the PlainvilleCommunity Food Pantry (in-dicative of the generous spir-it of town members, Woerzsaid), the demand for food isup. Way up.

“This is my 24th year withthe pantry and – I know I’vesaid that I’ve never seen itthis bad – but it’s very diffi-cult. Our jobs here are moredifficult because we’re see-ing the increase in demand,”Woerz said.

Food drives like Fill theTruck, organized by Disci-ples of Jesus Christ atPlainville United MethodistChurch, contribute to thebaskets.

Fill the Truck, which hasbeen going on for years, willbe extended from its normalfour-day drive to five due toan increased demand thisyear.

From Friday, Nov. 16,through Tuesday, Nov. 20, vol-unteers will be stationed out-side Gnazzo’s Food Center onEast Street to collect dona-tions.

“The need is so muchgreater,” Woerz said. “What’sreally sad this year is we’renot only seeing donors be-come clients, but now volun-teers are becoming clients.”

In addition, those whomight have had unemploy-ment before may not now be-

great. We want people to getout and vote.”

Although Saunders said hedoesn’t drink, if he won, hedid plan to celebrate.

“I have relatives across thecountry, so I’ll be callingthem. I want to do some cele-brating but I want to get towork right away. I’m very ea-ger,” he said. “I took tomor-row off work, so either way,I’ll get some much-neededsleep.”

Saunders’ wife, Andrea,chairperson for the Board ofEducation in Plainville, wasstationed at Toffolon withseveral Jason Welch support-ers. (Welch, a Republican,was running for state senateagainst Democrat DaveRoche.)

“Besides freezing, I’m kindof neutral. I absolutely wantScott to win, but we haven’t

paid attention to polls, so it’shard to know. I just hope thateveryone heard his mes-sage,” she said.

Once polls closed, whatwas her idea of what theymight do?

“We’ll be at headquartersat 8 p.m., we’ll have a spread-sheet and look at the num-bers and, hopefully, have abig celebration,” she said.

At Linden, Boukus ralliedwith her cousin, ErmineCastiola, of Terryville, andtwo supporters, Todd Celloand his son, Connor Cello,both of Plainville.

Wearing a red, white andblue scarf, Boukus waved atsupporters from the streetand said, “Good morning!Vote B for Boukus!”

The elder Cello said itseemed that the voterturnout was high.

“It’s been steady,” Castiolaagreed.

“It’s been cold,” Cello’sson said with a grin.

But Boukus said she wasfeeling “exuberant.”

“I love this! The people areso good,” she said. “It’s al-ways the people’s choice, andthe people are coming, evenin the cold.”

If she wins, the first thingshe’ll do is “give my husbanda big kiss. He’s been so sup-portive.”

According to poll modera-tors, the mood of votersseemed high.

“We tell them ‘thank youfor voting’ and they smileand say, ‘thank you, thankyou,” Main said. “It’s nice.”

“Everyone’s spirit istremendous,” Chartier said.“I told all my people to keepeveryone happy.”

At the end of the day,Chartier said, “I’ll be tired.We got started at 5, so by thetime we’re done here – count-ing and all – I’ll be ready forbed.”

Amid Halloween, Day-light Saving time, electionsand Thanksgiving, VeteransDay can sometimes fall tothe wayside.

This year, it’ll be celebrat-ed Sunday, Nov. 11 – butwhere did Veterans Dayoriginate?

World War I officially end-ed in June 1919 when theTreaty of Versailles wassigned. Fighting ground to ahalt seven months earlier, inNovember 1918, when anarmistice (a temporary ces-sation of hostilities) be-tween the Allied nations andGermany went into effect onthe eleventh hour of theeleventh day of the eleventhmonth.

Nov. 11, 1918 becameknown as the end of “thewar to end all wars.”

A year later, in November1919, President WoodrowWilson declared Nov. 11 the

first commemoration ofArmistice Day, intended tobe celebrated with parades,public meetings and a briefsuspension of business at 11a.m.

U.S. Congress went on torecognize the end of WWI

when it passed a resolutionyears later on June 4, 1926,indicating Nov. 11, 1918marked “the cessation of themost destructive, san-guinary, and far reachingwar in human annals andthe resumption by the peo-

At left, President Eisenhower signing HR7786, chang-ing Armistice Day to Veterans Day. At right, Soldiers ofthe 353rd Infantry near a church at Stenay, Meuse inFrance, wait for the end of hostilities, Nov. 11, 1918.

ple of the United States ofpeaceful relations with othernations, which we hope maynever again be severed.”

At that point, 27 states al-ready accepted Nov. 11 as aholiday. Wilson called uponofficials to display the U.S.flag on all government build-ings and invited the nationto observe the day inschools, churches, or othersuitable places, with “appro-priate ceremonies of friend-ly relations” on that day.

In 1938, an act was passedto declare Nov. 11 a legal hol-iday across the U.S. – the daywas to be dedicated to thecause of world peace and tobe thereafter celebrated andknown as “Armistice Day.”

Armistice Day honoredWWI veterans. But in 1956,

following WWII and the Ko-rean War, the 83rd Congressamended the act. Theychanged the holiday’s namefrom Armistice Day to “Vet-erans Day” in order to honorU.S. veterans of all wars.

Veterans Day continues tobe observed on Nov. 11, re-gardless of what day of theweek on which it falls. Ac-cording to the U.S. Depart-ment of Veterans Affairs, it“helps focus attention on theimportant purpose of Veter-ans Day: A celebration tohonor America’s veteransfor their patriotism, love ofcountry, and willingness toserve and sacrifice for thecommon good.”

PHS charity event a success By Steven LePage

Special to The Citizen

For the past two years, New England AutoSales has donated a car for our “Take aWhack for Interact” car smashing fundrais-er. Last year, our Interact Club (which I co-advise with a French teacher Judy Gurtch-eff) did this on Thanksgiving, and raised al-most $700 and donated proceeds to theCCMC Foundation for Juvenile Cancer Re-search.

This year, we had a friendly competitionbetween Plainville and Avon highschools.New England Auto Sales not only donated,prepared, delivered and picked up both cars,but they also pledged an additional $500 to

the school who raised more money. Well, we were out by the ticket booth for

over 5 hours on Friday night and we beatAvon by raising $559! Therefore, we will begetting an additional $500.

Our Interact Club plans to buy a ShelterBox, which provides shelter, supplies, foodand aide to a family who has suffered from adisaster. (More can be learned about ShelterBoxes at shelterbox.org.)

Brad and the people at New England AutoSales were great, and we appreciate theirsupport. A genuine thank you from myselfand PHS for a great event.

Steven LePage is the principal ofPlainville High School.

A nice going-away present for coachPHS swimmers second at CCC South meet

Photo by Christopher Zajac

Wrona puts positive spin on rocky year

By Jim BransfieldSpecial to The Citizen

Plainville girls swim coachRandy Doucette has called ita career. Saturday’s CentralConnecticut ConferenceSouth division swim champi-onship meet was his last con-ference meet. Doucette, 64, isretiring.

“Yes, this is it,” he said af-ter his girls finished a strongsecond in the meet. “I’m veryhappy that everyone swamwell today. I’ll still be hererunning championshipmeets, but that’s it for coach-ing.”

Doucette, who coached theboys team for 36 years beforegiving that up at the end oflast season, has been the girlscoach at Plainville for 20years.

“The best memories I haveare the kids I’ve had and theirparents,” said Doucette.

“Coaching like this meansyou give up your life for themin-season; they become yourlife. If you’re willing to giveup a lot, to do this the right

way – 24/7 for the kids – thenit turns around and becomesthe best thing, which is thatyour life belongs to them.

“This has been my hobby,

my passion and it’s what I al-ways wanted to do.”

His team performed won-derfully on Saturday. As ex-pected, Bristol Eastern wonthe championship with320.50 points, but Doucette’sBlue Devils scored 252, com-fortably ahead of third-placeMiddletown’s 222.50. BristolCentral was fourth with 201,Maloney was next with 156and Platt came in with 87points.

Plainville accomplishedthis without having a singlecompetitor in diving.

“Our medley relay tookfirst, we went 1-3 in the 500yard freestyle and we took afirst in the 50 yard freestyle,”said Doucette. “The kids re-ally stepped up and we got allbest times.”

Doucette singled outMegan Farmer for what hecalled two really greatswims. She won the 50 with a

time of 26.67 seconds andwas second in the 100 yardbutterfly with a time of1:09.67.

The first place medley re-lay team of Nicole Basile,Molly Schade, Sydney Mc-Gough and Farmer turned ina time of 2:05.56. TaylorRogers won the 500 with atime of 6:08.63 and Nicole Ro-gan took third in that eventwith a time of 6:18.21.

McGough took a strongthird in the 100 yard back-stroke and PHS’s 400 yardfreestyle relay team tooksixth.

Plainville finished with a6-7 dual meet record, but asDoucette pointed out, hisclub faced strong competi-tion. “Our first three meetswere with Watertown, Farm-ington and Berlin,” he said.“But I don’t mind because it

By Nick CarrollThe Plainville Citizen

According to PlainvilleHigh School girls soccercoach Leszek Wrona, histeam’s 3-12-1 record this fallis deceiving. “When youdon’t see us play, you’d say‘oh, it was a disaster,’” saidthe coach. “No, it wasn’t adisaster. It wasn’t a disaster.”

Pointing out that his teamwas in rebuilding mode hav-ing lost four four-yearstarters to graduation – tal-ented players, who now com-pete at the college level,Wrona said “we knew itwould not be easy” this sea-son.

“Overall I was very happywith the performance of thegirls. We worked extremelyhard,” he continued. “Butlosing those four true soccerplayers; I knew it would bevery hard.”

Not only were the LadyBlue Devils hit hard by grad-

uation, they were bit by theinjury bug as well.

“It was hard to take, butthe girls never gave up,” saidWrona. “We moved the line-up many times, girls playedout of position. They sacri-ficed their goals to the teamneeds.

“A positive thing is that alot of freshmen and sopho-mores stepped up and playedhard.”

Through it all, Plainvillefielded a competitive team.Eight of the Lady Blue Dev-ils’ losses were one-goal deci-sions, and just twice werethey bested by more than twogoals.

Before this season,Plainville had advanced tothe state tournament eightyears running. The locals fellwell short of the qualifyingmark this time around.

“Every streak has to end.There’s not much you cando,” said Wrona, who is con-fident this season will prove

to be just a bump in the roadfor the program. “I think thiswas one year only. Next yearshould be much better.”

And Wrona plans to beback on the sideline for whatwill be his 14th season atPHS. “Nobody told me I’m notcoaching anymore,” he joked.“I love to be with the chil-dren. This is what I do for aliving; I teach children toplay soccer. That’s my profes-sion.”

The 2012 Lady Blue Devilswere powered offensively bya pair of juniors: Danielle

Soccer team eyeinganother tourney run

By Mark PukaloSpecial to The Citizen

The Plainville boys soccerteam has thetools to be afactor in theCIAC ClassM tourna-ment once

again.When the Blue Devils end

their run this year will likelydepend on whether they canraise their game on the de-fensive side of the field in thepressure cooker of the post-season.

Plainville (10-5-1) pro-duced 46 goals, but has al-lowed 29 going into the firstround today, Nov. 8 against ateam to be determined afterpress time.

“You don’t see a lot of big-scoring affairs in the tourna-ment,” Plainville coach TimBrown said. “If you give up agoal, teams are going tobunker down and it will bevery difficult to pull it back.”

It was never going to beeasy. The Blue Devils losttheir entire defense from ateam that reached the ClassM semifinals a year ago. Thefocus in practice has been

rededicating to the defensiveside of the ball and trying toeliminate the individual mis-takes that have plaguedthem.

That started in the finalgame of the regular seasonwhen the Blue Devils earneda 0-0 overtime tie againstBerlin – their first shutout ofthe season. Brown said hechallenged the kids beforethe match to produce a cleansheet.

“They responded to it,”Brown said. “They werevaliant in the defensive end.… I was very pleased the waywe played. We created plentyof chances. We did morethan enough to win thegame.”

Brown didn’t bring in anyteams to scrimmage the BlueDevils, who end up having 11days between games due toHurricane Sandy.

“I’m not concerned aboutthat at all,” Brown said. “Weall have the same set of cir-cumstances. Some teams willhave it a lot worse than wedo.”

Shane Pugliese has led theway in scoring, but he hasbeen getting help from Mike

Giuliani and Nick D’Amico.Sophomore Quentin Lux alsocontinues to progress as atop-notch attacking midfield-er.

“I can’t say enough abouthim,” Brown said of Lux. “Hecan do everything. His devel-opment over the course ofthe season has been special.”

Plainville will get itschances on offense. The BlueDevils will have to figure outthe puzzle each game pres-ents, depending on the oppo-nent. There’s a good chancethey will be on the roadthroughout.

The Devils will have to getsolid work in net from eitherCody Charneski, who shutout Berlin, or Alex Bawol.

“We’re going to have to getoutstanding goalkeeping,”Brown said. “We can scoregoals, we can hold onto theball. We have all the compo-nents to do well. The key isgoalkeeping and defense.”

Brown does not doubt histeam’s resolve.

“Regardless of what hap-pens, I know that these kidsare going to give it their all,”the coach said. “They’ve doneit all year.”
