Plainville Town Council Chairwoman Kathy Pugliese is looking to move up the po-litical ladder. The Republican has announced her candidacy for state representative of the 22nd District, which covers Pla-inville and part of New Britain.

The seat is currently held by Democrat Elizabeth “Betty” Boukus, who is seeking

reelection.“I am excited

about the ac-complishments our Republi-can-led council has achieved in Plainville, and strongly be-lieve our state government could imple-

ment many reforms dedicated to serve our citizens while re-ducing future tax burdens,” Pugliese said in a press release.

In an interview with The Cit-izen, Pugliese spoke about what made her get into politics, her concern for the financial future of New Britain, and what she hopes to accomplish if elected.

“Lets get going.”Donna Stokes kept this in mind as

she set off to accomplish a goal she has had since her 20s – to walk across

America.There are people

who set goals; some-times those goals are achieved, oftentimes they’re not. When they’re not, excuses – some legitimate – are sure to follow: There’s not enough time in the day. I’m too old. It’s not realistic.

Stokes had once told herself similar things when pondering a cross coun-try walk.

“I wanted to do this early in my life,” the Plainville resident said. “I couldn’t go after college because I had respon-sibilities. Then I had a family in my 30s. I was out of shape in my 40s. In my 50s, I decided to go for it.”

Stokes’ walk, which began April 12 in Oregon, and is on pace to wrap up around the middle of September, will finish at the Wheeler Regional YMCA in Plainville, where she trained for the trek.

Currently in Wyoming, Stokes told The Citizen she has encountered a lot of different attitudes on her trip, and has learned much along the way.

“I have realized that America is both beautiful and dirty,” she said,

recalling the mountain ranges, riv-ers, lakes, and landscapes of the west. However “you can’t walk more than a few inches without finding garbage,” she said.

A couple indelible marks this jour-ney has left on Stokes is the ideal to live more modestly, and that re-gional stereotypes are alive and well. She said westerners think people on the east coast “are not very friendly, snotty, and stuck up.”

In regards to living more modestly, Stokes said “In the east, we tend to go for larger and fancier … In the west, people live much more modestly; less bigger homes and less fancier cars. I want to live like this when I come home.”

Along with the challenges of

self-sufficiency, Stokes has also had to deal with high altitude while walking 25 to 27 miles a day, chugging along from 7:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. She hauls a five square-foot cart to carry dry food, water, a pair of pants, a pair of long johns, two pair of shorts, two tops, two pair of shoes, and six or seven pair of socks.

Stokes has encountered rattle-snakes, elk, wild horses, in addition to what she called “an old volcanic area in Wyoming that was the size of Massachusetts.”

Loneliness can be an issue on the road.

“If you don’t like yourself, if you don’t like being alone, or are fear-

a way to do better in govern-ment efficiency,” Pugliese said. “There is a methodology for government to be more efficient, transparent, and re-sponsive to citizens. We will be more effective if we take some of our concepts and ideas to Hartford. Govern-ment can become more re-sponsive and less costly.”

Pugliese, who got into lo-cal politics in 1993 after be-coming concerned about the rate increases water com-panies were seeking, said she has learned much about governing.

“It is important to be ac-countable towards the pub-lic,” she said. “You must articulate your beliefs, stay true to your core values, and do what you think is best for Plainville. These are all things I have learned.”

While Pugliese feels that Plainville has a bright finan-cial future, she said New Britain has “greater financial challenges.”

If elected, Pugliese, who was born in New Britain and attended Central Connecticut State University, said part of her job will be finding ways to help New Britain Mayor Erin Stewart.

“I want to establish work-ing relationships with the mayor and the finance board; strong lines of communica-tion,” Pugliese said.

“They are tackling these issues in a forward-thinking manner.

“These are different neigh-borhoods with different needs and different cultures. They require different levels of care.”

However, she is not making the trip alone. In Idaho, she

was befriended by a dog, who is now traveling with her. Fittingly, the pup has been dubbed Miles Walker.

The town is in the midst of planning a massive reno-vation and reconstruction of Cooke Street, anticipated to cost around $1.2 to $1.3 mil-lion, according to Technical Services Director John Bossi.

The planning stage started 18 months ago. Currently the town is working on the de-sign specifications, which Bossi expects will be done in “about a month or two.”

After finishing the design, the specifications go through state approval and then out to bid.

“Going to bid involves the specifications and plans, as well as unit prices,” Bossi said. “We release this infor-mation to companies … The

companies that bid the lowest prices will be reviewed by the town and we will decide on who wins the contract.”

According to an April 1 press release from the De-partment of Technical Ser-vices, the Cooke Street project will encompass New Britain Avenue to the Farm-ington town line – about 5,500 feet. The goal is to “install a new pavement surface, in ad-dition to the repair of a failed sewer trench, construction of pedestrian ramps, and instal-lation of pavement markings.”

Bossi doesn’t expect sig-nificant delays in traffic, and detrimental effects on home prices and businesses in the area are not anticipated.

Mark DeVoe, director of economic and planning de-velopment for Plainville, said “temporary access will be provided” for people coming to and from businesses on Cooke Street.

“There won’t be a long-term, significant impact in a negative or positive way on businesses,” DeVoe said.

Speaking of the potential impact on home prices, Kevin Diminno, real estate agent for Realty3CT in Southington, said: “The more a town does to improve its condition, the more attractive it becomes ... This is an improvement.”

James R. Stuart PLAINVILLE — James R. Stuart, 77, of Plainville, beloved

husband of Claire (Bian-chi) Stuart, passed away on Sunday, May 25, 2014. Born on Aug. 17,

1936, Jim was the fourth son of the late Charles and Harriet (Gowen) Stuart, and was one of seven sets of twins to attend the New Britain School System with his brother, John “Jack” Stuart, quickly causing trouble together by the third grade. Jim served his country in the U.S. Coast Guard from 1956 to 1960, and in the reserves from 1960 to 1962, receiving a good conduct medal. He married his best friend, Claire in 1959, sharing 55 years of marriage and rais-ing three daughters. Jim worked for Fafnir Bearing, joining the Plainville Police Force in 1965. He retired Badge 1, 25 years later on Oct. 1, 1990, receiving many certificates for his valor during his time on the force. He started the PPAL, the police association’s basketball league, in 1970, became a certified EMT in 1973, and was installed as the first Youth Officer in 1974, making it his goal to develop an “honest rapport with the kids” in town. His knack with children and high hopes and dreams for the futures of the youth of today remained an im-portant part of his career. Jim received his bach-elor’s degree in criminal justice from the Univer-sity of New Haven, and upon retirement, worked as a judicial marshal for the New Britain court sys-tem for 10 years, worked for Manafort Brothers for a short time, and taught classes at E.C. Goodwin. An elected member of the Town Council from 1991 to

Fifty arrested in fraud crackdown

WETHERSFIELD — A crackdown on unemploy-ment insurance fraud in Con-necticut has resulted in more than 50 arrests and more than $415,000 in recovered benefits.

The state Labor Depart-ment and the Chief State’s Attorney May 29 announced the results of an operation they have dubbed “Chasing Cheaters.”

The offices teamed up last year to form a new Un-employment Compensation Fraud Unit.

Chief State’s Attorney Kevin Kane says those tar-geted intentionally defrauded the state’s Unemployment Trust Fund for more than $2 million.

He says the states goal is to get restitution, but pros-ecutors are recommending prison sentences for the most serious offenders.

New law adds texting to ‘Do Not Call list’

HARTFORD — Unso-

licited marketing by text message is now illegal in Connecticut.

Gov. Dannel P. Malloy said May 29 he signed legislation reducing what he calls un-wanted, unsolicited commer-cial phone intrusions. The legislation adds text mes-sages to the state’s “Do Not Call” registry.

Sen. Paul Doyle, co-chair-man of the legislature’s Gen-eral Law Committee, said during legislative debate that lawmakers were respond-ing to complaints that con-sumers are charged for text messages, even unsolicited messages from telemarketers and other businesses.

The law increases the maximum fine for violations to $20,000 from $11,000 and requires companies issuing account statements for cell and landline phones to print a conspicuous notice at least twice a year informing con-sumers of prohibited actions by solicitors and how to place their numbers on the “Do Not Call” registry.

Seniors get crash course in social media

When Plainville Senior Center member Anna Dello Russo received an email to “like” something on Face-book, she didn’t know what to do.

“I was afraid of ‘liking’ it,” she said. “I didn’t know what it meant.”

Della Russo is one of a handful of members who signed up for Introduction to Social Media and Blog-ging, a class offered recently at the Senior Center.

“For people who grew up in the digital age this is sec-ond nature, but for people

who didn’t, social media can be daunting,” instructor Mi-chael Hill said.

Hill, a self-proclaimed computer geek since the 80s, is well versed in social me-dia, with an extensive back-ground in video, TV, web, digital and film production. He also runs his own mobile video arcade, The Gamers Box.

“The purpose of this class is to get them familiar and comfortable with being on-line. Many of them have a phobia of even logging on,” Hill said.

The three-part class ex-plored social networking such as Facebook, Twit-

ter, Instagram, Tumblr and blogging.

“Our seniors have so much experience to share, so we benefit by having their knowledge accessible online,” Hill said.

Senior Claire Sandstrom said becoming more so-cial media savvy will help her communicate with her granddaughter.

“I want to learn how to do it right and make sure I know what I am doing,” Sandstrom said.

John and Betty Kirch were already familiar with social media, but they were unsure how safe it really was. With family in Peru, as well as six

grandkids, they wanted to be able to keep up with their loved ones without worry.

“We wanted to learn as much as we could about the ins and outs of it all,” Betty Kirch said. “As we get older and aren’t working anymore, it’s hard to keep up with things the grandchildren are into.”

“If you don’t know Face-book, you are left out of ev-erything,” John Kirch said.

Dello Russo, who has started writing a book of letters to her grandson, is still unsure about Facebook, but hopes with what she has learned in the class she can begin blogging her work

instead. “I want him to know what

I am doing and how there will never be a better time in history than there is now,” Della Russo said.

For seniors who don’t have the option of taking a class, Hill offers this advice to those looking to dip into social media.

“Find a family member, or someone you trust, to sit you down and help you tackle it hands-on. It just takes time and practice to feel comfort-able,” Hill said.

Op-Ed Stop moaning about logos and start governing

I’ve never been a Wash-ington Redskins fan and I never will be, but I suddenly

feel a kinship with those guys wearing hog snouts and female garb in light of the recent develop-ments.

In fact, I even woke up humming, “Hail to the

Redskins.”Senators like Harry Reid

of Nevada and our own Chris Murphy and Richard Blumenthal signed legis-

lation demanding that the Redskins change their name. I was hoping they meant the “Washington” part, but that obviously wasn’t the case.

In an era I never could have contemplated on even dark, rainy nights, people who are supposed to be try-ing to represent their con-stituents in an effort to make life better in our nation are actually immersed in the notion of changing a sports team’s nickname?

Our bridges crumble, our health care system is in disarray, young people are killing each other be-cause it’s OK to do on video games and in the movies,

we reduce services that are working and desperately needed, and here are Mur-phy and Blumenthal fanning the flames of absurdity with the inane notion that the Redskins’ owners are intol-erant because of a nickname established 80 years ago.

Let’s assume the minority of those who actually care win the battle, place a ham-merlock on ‘Skins owner Daniel Snyder and rescue those Native American vic-tims who suddenly feel in-sulted by a notion that was instituted to pay tribute to their bravery and strength.

Where does the nickname nonsense go from here?

Let’s take a close look at the NFL team I do root for: the New York Giants. Is it in-tolerant to the uncommonly big people we’ve known like Andre “The Giant” Roussi-moff, Ted “Lurch” Cassidy, Peter “Chewbacca” Mayhew, Richard Kiel (Burt Reynolds’ defensive end in “The Lon-gest Yard), Wilt “The Stilt” Chamberlain, Gheorghe Muresan, Yao Ming, etc.?

Why don’t we change the team’s nickname to the New York Six-Footers?

Conversely, I haven’t heard a groundswell to do away with the youth football division known as Midgets? I googled Midget Football and

didn’t find any protest move-ments on the part of those afflicted with dwarfism.

And Mr. Murphy, what is your opinion of the nick-name that appears to reflect on folks of your ethnic-ity in much the same way Redskins do to Native Amer-icans? The Notre Dame Fighting Irish, as if you don’t know, features a caricature of a pugnacious leprechaun that may be construed by some as a racist statement, kind of like the people who have turned on the Cleve-land Indians’ flag-bearer, old Chief Wahoo.

Not me, mind you. It makes me think of the “Fighting 69th,” the New York City-based regiment that made the Union proud during the Civil War. It also has been immortalized in a wonderful movie starring the pugnacious Irish actor James Cagney and, Senator Murphy, in song by a popu-lar Boston-based rock band,

the Dropkick Murphys.Trust me, Senator Murphy,

I don’t mean that as a politi-cal statement.

Regarding nicknames, I covered the Farmington High Indians for many years and back in the early 1990s a particularly left-leaning, des-potic principal demanded that the school give up the Indians mascot and logo. He provided two options: either

stop using it, or change it.He had already taken it

upon himself to have janitors whitewash an artistically rendered logo that adorned the gymnasium wall, created diligently and lovingly by a Class of 1980 grad.

I received a call from a distraught athlete/Student Council rep who urged me to be in the school courtyard Monday morning, 10 a.m. A protest that proved democ-racy was still alive and well crushed the principal’s ven-detta and helped usher him out the door.

When Southington teams and their followers next go to Farmington, they can think about two things:

1) Farmington remains the Indians, a tribute to the Tunxis tribes that lived along the shores of the Farmington River before and during the arrival of Euro-pean settlers.

2) A generic Indian logo was hastily transcribed on the gymnasium wall.

Senators, if the State of Connecticut, suffer-ing acutely from one-party domination, was in tiptop

shape, perhaps turning your thoughts to sports mas-cots and logos would be permissible.

If the highway infrastruc-ture was sound, if the I-84 project in Cheshire had been completed without epic mis-handling, if you could find a way so that motorists from New York and Boston pass-ing through could contribute to the general fund instead of the double-taxing us on gasoline, then petition until your hearts are content.

Perhaps Snyder can change the nickname to Sen-ators, but that’s already been tried. It comes of no surprise that team has been relegated to scrap heap of history. Now let’s see if we can pre-vent our state and country from being so relegated.

So let me hear it now, boys. Clear your voices and sing that catchy tune that I hope we don’t hear too often during games next fall.

“Hail to the Redskins, Stand by your game. Hail to the Redskins, Reject the no-tion you must change your name.”

SportsAbdelsame shines; Quick tourney exits for PHS

BaseballThe No. 31 Blue Devils

competed in the first round of the Class M state tourna-ment Monday against sec-ond-seeded Plainfield (18-2), falling by a final count of 10-1.

Plainvi l le ’s struggles during the final week of the regular season didn’t do the locals any favors, as it re-quired them to play a qualify-ing round game – one of only four teams to do so – in which the Blue Devils came out on top 10-5 over Griswold.

During the Blue Devils’ fi-nal week of regular season play, the team went a lowly 0-3, falling to Berlin 10-3, Maloney 5-4, and Bulkeley 5-4. The team’s loss against Bulkeley was especially dis-heartening, as Plainville

held a comfortable 4-0 lead headed into the bottom of the seventh and final inning before allowing the Bulldogs to storm back.

The Plainville boys were led throughout the season by a rather young pitching staff, which held its own. The staff, comprised of no returning starters, allowed 5.1 runs per contest.

The Blue Devils’ offensive woes, though, proved to be the team’s undoing. Plainville averaged 4.3 runs per game, a low number for high school baseball.

After going 6-4 in the first half of the year, the Blue Dev-ils stumbled to a 3-7 second half that saw the team aver-age just 4.1 runs per game and finish 2-4 in games decided

by three runs or less.

SoftballThe No. 29 Lady Blue Dev-

ils traveled to Rocky Hill Monday to take on the fourth-seeded Terriers in the first round of the Class M state tournament. Plainville’s sea-son came to an end with a 6-1 loss.

The Lady Blue Devils struggled against Terrier pitcher Katie Slavin, who re-corded 10 strike outs and al-lowed just four hits.

Plainville freshman Kiya Broughton took the loss against a formidable Rocky Hill foe.

The local girls just squeaked into the playoffs, needing victories in their fi-nal two games of the regular season against Bulkeley and Bloomfield to earn a spot. In the postseason-clinching

win again against Bloomfield, Broughton delivered, strik-ing out eight and limiting the Warhawks to five hits.

The Lady Blue Devils be-gan their season 1-4 and over-came a four-game losing skid during the middle of May to punch their ticket to the state tournament. A lack of offensive firepower proved to be difficult to overcome, though, as the Plainville girls struggled to score throughout the season. The locals aver-aged a modest 4.7 runs per game and were shutout on six occasions.

Boys outdoor trackThe Blue Devils finished

their conference season with a solid showing at the CCC South championships, held May 28 at Bristol Eastern High School.

Plainville manufactured

70 points, landing in a tie for fourth place with Maloney of Meriden.

The PHS boys were led by junior Omar Abdelsame, who took home first place finishes in both the 1,600 and 3,200 events. Abdelsame fin-ished the 1,600 in 4:30.98 and the 3,200 in 10:12.44, scoring 20 points for his team in the process.

Junior Quentin Lux also had a strong outing for Plain-ville. He finished first in the 800 with a time of 2:00.61, and was also a member of the winning 4x400 relay team. The team – comprised of Lux, senior Nick Boutin, and ju-niors Dante Correa and Julius Brown – finished in 3:32.53, 1.3 seconds ahead of second place Bristol Eastern.

Correa also had a strong

showing in the 100. Although the junior finished an un-remarkable seventh with a time of 11.77, he was just .44 seconds off the winning pace.

Brown placed fourth in the 300 hurdles, finishing in a time of 44.12, while junior teammate Nino Freitas fin-ished sixth with a time of 45.74.

Also generating points for the Blue Devils were senior Alex Maisonette and junior Brendan West, who took third and fourth place, respectively, in javelin. Maisonette threw 140-feet, 3-inches, while West threw 131-feet, 11-inches.

Girls outdoor trackThe Lady Blue Devils

struggled in a very deep CCC South championship field, fin-ishing seventh with 39 points at the event held May 28 at Bristol Eastern High School.

Senior Shea Echols had an impressive day for Plainville, finishing in the top five in all three of her events. Echols took second in the 200 with a time of 27.16, just .25 behind the winner. The senior also ran well in the 100, taking third (13.14). Echols finished her strong day with a fifth place finish in the triple jump (32-feet, 5.75-inches).

PHS senior Morgan La-Combe also impressed, fin-ishing fourth in discus. Her best throw was 80-feet, 7-inches.

The Lady Blue Devils expe-rienced moderate success in relays. The local 4x800 crew, comprised of seniors Delany Russell and Nikki-Ann Dun-can, and sophomores Melissa Lux and Lexxi Lopez, finished the relay in 11:30.01.

In other action, Plainville senior Michelle Thibodeau finished sixth in the jave-lin (78-feet, 6-inches), while freshman teammate Taleah McCrorey took sixth in the 300 hurdles (55.50).

Boys golfThe Blue Devils used a

strong final week of the regu-lar season to put themselves into playoff contention, win-ning four of six matches.

Plainville began its final week of match play with a strong 178-229 win over Maloney. In the team’s last

home match of the season, PHS senior Nick Lea took home medalist honors after shooting a 40 at Tunxis Plan-tation in Farmington.

The Blue Devils finished their week with a 194-268 win over Bulkeley/Hartford Pub-lic at Goodwin Park in Hart-ford. Lea, once again, walked away as match medalist, fir-ing a 42.

After struggling early in the season to keep their stroke count down, the Blue Devils certainly appear to have turned a corner. The lo-cals have stayed under 200 since May 13, including a sea-son-low 194.

Plainville will next com-pete in the Division III state tournament Monday, June 9 at Tallwood Country Club in Hebron.

Girls golfA trying first season for

the Lady Blue Devils con-tinued last week, as the girls dropped two more difficult matches with their season winding down.

Plainville began its week with a loss to Farmington, 174-260, at the teams’ shared home course of Tunxis Plan-tation in Farmington. The In-dians’ Kate Fagan shot a 40 to be named match medalist.

The struggles continued for the Lady Blue Devils against visiting New Brit-ain, as they fell 253-271 to the Golden Hurricanes. Plainville sophomore Taylor Rogers took home medalist honors, leading the field with a 52.

While the Lady Blue Dev-ils have struggled on the sur-face throughout the year, the girls have gradually improved their stroke count. After fin-ishing with a 275 or higher in four consecutive matches as recently as May 22, the lo-cals’ 260 against Farmington proved to be their best tally of the season. The 271 against New Britain was the team’s third best composite score on the season.

Girls tennisThe Lady Blue Devils fell

just short of making the Class S state tournament, finishing their season with a 7-9 record following a final week of 1-2 play.

Notes

The local girls began their week by dismantling Wind-sor 7-0. Then, sitting at 7-7, the Lady Blue Devils would need just one more win to en-

sure a .500 season, the neces-sary requirement to qualify for the tournament.

Unfortunately for Plain-ville, waiting in the wings were two playoff-bound teams – Middletown and

Bristol Central, which were looking to improve their tournament seeding. The Lady Blue Devils fell to both squads by identical 6-1 scores.

Although Plainville missed out on the state tournament, the team showed plenty of growth throughout the sea-son. After starting the year 0-4, which included two shut-outs, the Lady Blue Devils quickly turned things around and were blanked just once more the rest of the way.

Boys tennisThe Blue Devils wrapped

up their first official season since 2003 with a frustrat-ing 0-2 week, falling to both Newington and Rockville. After being swept by the In-dians 7-0, Plainville played a much closer match against the Rams, falling by a final count of 4-3.

While Plainville finished with a record of just 3-11, sev-eral of those losses could have gone the other way. The Blue Devils dropped three 4-3 decisions.
