Instead of showing off a copy of an ultrasound photo or making a phone call to a family member to share the news, many expecting parents take a more creative route to announcing the sex of their unborn child.

Gender reveal parties are a trend among many pregnant

couples. The reveal could in-volve any out-of-the-box idea to share the news with family and friends.

It could be as simple as handing out cupcakes with blue or pink icing to popping a balloon full of pink or blue confetti, or playing a game.

Sometimes expecting par-ents know the sex before they

Plainville’s Dennis Brod-erick, former producer of Moongoyle Entertainment, the maker of slasher and hor-ror pictures that recently

folded, is starting 3rd Life Cinema, which will launch by shooting the first scene of a short at Laurel Lanes bowling alley, 136 New Britain Ave., on Saturday, Feb. 28.

Broderick said the short will be a prelude to Mint on

Card, a full length comedy feature “that’s really funny, an Ocean’s 11 with nerds and re-ally funny quirky characters.”

DODGEBALL FUNDRAISER

The Plainville YMCA Project Graduation Committee recently held a dodgeball tournament to support the Project Graduation event. The event raised $3,500 for the graduating seniors of the Class of 2015’s all-night party. Pictured is the winning dodgeball team, “DOB,” made up of Plainville High School alumni.

reveal to friends and family at the event. Other times, every-one finds out altogether.

Hiding a tiny baby bottle in one of the dozens of cupcakes at their gender reveal party was the way Alison Zingaro and her husband Kyle wanted to surprise their guests.

“We decided to hide a pink or blue bottle in one cupcake (and) then pass all of the cup-cakes out to our family and friends,” said Alison Zingaro of Southington. “We all bit into it at the same time, but only one person had the bot-tle. That person revealed the gender to the group. No one knew who had the bottle.”

Guests were also asked to dress in pink, if they thought the Zingaro’s were having a girl, or in blue if they thought it was a boy.

The couple took numer-ous photos to document the party, which was last year. The couple had a girl, named Eleanor.

On the website Parents.com, an article by Charlene DeLoach titled “How to Host a Gender Reveal Party” out-lines tips and ideas for par-ents who are expecting.

The article has been “pinned” on Pinterest by nearly 700 people.

DeLoach explained how she had a party for her sec-ond child and cut open a cake to find out the sex.

“I felt the same giddy antic-ipation that I had felt the first time around, in the delivery room,” DeLoach wrote in the

article. “When I saw pink fill-ing and realized that I’d be giving birth to a daughter, I felt just as surprised as I did when we discovered our first child’s gender.”

In an editorial on New Yorker.com, called “Nar-cissism in Pink and Blue”, George Packer picks apart the concept.

“In the case of gender-re-veal parties, couples take a private moment made possi-ble by science and oblige oth-ers to join in,” Packer wrote.

Packer mentions that the first video of these parties was posted on YouTube in 2008 and now more than 130,000 videos are available on YouTube.

Though some people might object to that kind of celebra-tion, others embrace it.

Couples have said the draw to holding these “get-togeth-ers” or gender reveal parties is because it’s a fun way to celebrate the anticipated ar-rival of a new family member and gather the family.

“I felt having the party was a better way to tell everyone that could be there because I couldn’t choose who to tell first,” said Kaytlyn Lucille Rowen of Meriden, who is expecting a boy in June. “We told everyone at the same time. It was amazing having our family there.”

For Rowen, she decided to have a cake made for her party last month. The inside of the cake that would reveal the gender of the baby. When she cut into the cake, it re-vealed she is having a boy.

Z i n g a r o m o v e d t o Southington shortly after finding out she was pregnant, leaving behind most of her family in Maryland.

“We wanted a reason to get the entire family together,” said Zingaro. “It was a great opportunity to get the entire family together to celebrate.”

She is also the first grand-child on both sides of the family so we wanted to make a big deal over whether it would be a granddaughter or grandson.”

Through the past couple of years, Kim Kelly, the owner of Kimberly Lynn Photography in Southington, has photo-graphed more than 15 gender announcements.

Whether it is at a party with

family or friends or just the expecting couple, Kelly said she’s seen it all.

“You can go to simple to crazy,” said Kelly.

One of Kelly’s favorite re-veal photo shoots was re-cently with Kristan and Greg Mclean of Meriden, who were expecting a boy.

The Mclean’s didn’t know what the gender was, and had Kelly fill a balloon with ei-ther pink or blue confetti de-pending on what the results were. The couple brought both pink and blue accesso-ries to take photos with after the reveal.

When they popped it with pins, blue confetti flew out of the balloon.

“It was kind of neat because it was the initial reaction of the pop of the balloon…then their reaction,” said Kelly. “It’s almost like being present in the delivery room.”

While getting the family to-gether seems to be the No. 1 motive behind these parties, the second seems to be the surprise factor.

Four-year-old Brooke Bur-bige was less than thrilled when cupcakes with blue frosting were placed in front of her. Having a boy was ex-actly the news that 4-year-old Brooke didn’t want.

Brooke’s mom, Nicole Par-adis of Plainville, told her daughter she would bring her home pink frosted cup-cakes if she was having a sis-ter and blue if she was having a brother. She grabbed the cupcakes from Sassy Mama Sweets bakery in Southington a couple months ago.

“It was kind of fun for her age and playing into the ex-citement,” said Paradis.

Brooke wasn’t thrilled with the color of the cupcakes be-cause she wanted a sister. Paradis captured the moment of the reveal with a photo of Brooke pouting and a half-dozen blue cupcakes in front of her.

“She actually told her aunt after the cupcake gen-der reveal ‘I’m only getting a brother because the bakery ran out of pink frosting,’” Par-adis said.

“She has since warmed up to the idea of having a brother,” said Paradis, laughing.

tos, a comedian who per-formed in the quarterfinals of America’s Got Talent, and Robert Sciglimpaglia, a prac-ticing attorney and actor from Norwalk.

“We did auditions at the Fairfield Inn in Plainville and found a couple of roles,” Broderick said.

Plainville residents are in-vited to attend the shooting at the bowling alley that will take place from 7:30 to 11 p.m. “Sponsors are paying for the bowling, so you’ll bowl for free,” he said. “We’ll be shoot-ing footage for two hours.”

Plainville residents should email [email protected] to sign up for the shoot.

Broderick asks that bowlers bring canned goods that will be donated to the Plainville Food Pantry.

Sponsors of the shoot will bowl with team names on their shirts. Vesper of Hart-ford Scooter Centrale do-nated the use of a scooter and Poppa’s Dodge of New Brit-ain donated a Dodge Chal-lenger SRT that will be used in the shoot.

The first scene for the 18-minute short will be filmed at the bowling alley. Broder-ick plans to have the short finished in April. “We’ll farm it out to investors to get the money to shoot the feature,” he said.

Broderick invited Plainville residents for an audition for Altered Evil, a film that was scheduled to be shot in Plainville by Moongolye En-tertainment in 2013 but was never released because of production problems. The studio folded late last year following a dispute over the roles of Mark Foley and Aaron Vnuk, who ran the company with Broderick. Fo-ley was forced to resign as principal of Granby Middle School and Vnuk was put on leave as a counselor at Sage Park Middle School in Wind-sor for producing films that conflicted with their roles as educators.

Both co-own 3rd Life Cin-ema with Broderick. “We want to start fresh and see what we can do,” Broderick said.

Plainville residents and business owners are re-minded that snow-covered fire hydrants are a major factor in delaying the fire department response to extinguishing fires.

The Plainville Fire Mar-shall, in the interest of pub-lic safety, reminds citizens that have a fire hydrant in

front of, or located nearby their home or business, that they must clear snow from the appliance (unob-structed for at least three feet around.)

The time that is saved by the responding fire depart-ment may play a part in the saving of life and property.

Baha’i FaithFor over 100 years, the

Bahá’í community in the United States has sought to build a model of racial in-tegration and race unity, embracing people from all backgrounds and classes of

society.“Racism runs deep. It in-

fects the hearts of both White and Black Americans. Since without conscious, deliber-ate, and sustained effort, no one can remain unaffected by its corrosive influence, both groups must realize that such a problem can neither easily nor immediately be resolved. ‘Let neither think that any-thing short of genuine love, extreme patience, true humil-ity, consummate tact, sound initiative, mature wisdom, and deliberate, persistent, and prayerful effort can suc-ceed in blotting out the stain which this patent evil has left on the fair name of their com-mon country.’” — Bahá’í Faith

Plainville police arrested a local woman Wednesday, Feb. 11, who is accused of as-saulting her infant son in De-cember. The boy has been in critical condition since the

incident with head injuries.Caitlin Knight, 27, of 167

Stillwell Drive, was charged with first-degree assault and risk of injury to a minor.

On Dec. 17, police were dis-patched to Knight’s residence for a report of an injured and unconscious infant. Respond-

ing officers were told that the child incurred the injuries from an acci-dental fall.

The boy was taken to the Hospi-tal of Central Connecticut in New Brit-ain and later transferred to the Con-necticut Children’s Medical Center in Hartford.

Police said their investiga-tion and medical examination determined that the infant’s injuries were inconsistent with an accident.

Knight is being held on a $250,000 bond.

To the editor:After the November elec-

tion, and question on the fate of the old Linden school, the two parties went back to their respective headquar-ters, and shortly, the results became final: Linden to re-main intact by a vote of over 62 percent.

Mr. Saunders then said the voters did not understand the question.

A few weeks ago, Mr. Lee said they did not vote on keeping the school, just our share of the money to take it down.

In the past week or so, Mr. Lee held a public meeting to discuss the fate of the school. It seems he pulled out all of the stops, had all of the town officials and others there to answer – No, we can’t do that. It seems that nothing was even going to get a look at possible fu-ture usage proposed by the citizens.

The Town Council was asked a question; didn’t an-swer it, just looked at the floor.

Over the years we have lost a lot of schools in town. The old high school, which became the junior high school, is now privately owned, and used, and looks better than ever. The point

being, you have not put any thought or effort into trying to keep Linden as a useful building for the town.

To demolish the school, the town’s share is $1.1 mil-lion. The state kicks in the rest. Actually, we are kicking in more. The state’s share is being paid for by our tax dollars.

The school will proba-bly be demolished, but all we asked is to try to find a useful fit for the community. Don’t just make it a parking lot.

Voters, whichever way you are leaning on the subject, go and vote. Call your coun-cil members, write letters to the newspapers. Show the town that you care what happens in Plainville.

Expanded preschool off to terrific startThe expanded Plainville

Community Preschool Pro-gram is off to a terrific start. In September, more than 100 4-year-olds began AM and PM sessions at Wheeler, Toffolon, and Linden ele-mentary schools. The pro-gram, which previously only served students with special needs and some typical role models at Linden, now in-cludes close to 80 percent of the incoming kindergar-ten class of 2015. Children are attending preschool in

the school they will attend for kindergar-ten next year.

The goal of our preschool program is to provide experi-ences that will allow the individual child to develop at his or her own pace in a supportive and en-riching environment. The learning opportunities are active and provide the children with foundational knowledge and understand-

ing from which fu-ture learning can take place.

A critical aspect of best practice in early childhood education is the inclusion of all children, includ-ing English language learners, advanced learners, and those with developmental

disabilities. We implement a high-quality inclusive program that supports the learning of all children.

The Plainville Community Preschool Program strives towards developing readi-ness skills for all children as they prepare for kindergar-ten and beyond. Throughout all units of study, children are placed in small learning groups in order to provide direct instruction in their academic, social or behav-ioral skills as outlined in the Connecticut Early Learning and Development Standards. Student needs are assessed using our district wide pre-

school evaluation and pro-fessional judgment, then placed in the appropriate learning group.

During a recent three-week unit about animals and winter, the program ad-dressed animal hibernation during winter, learning to identify animals, and clas-sifying animals by features, type and size. Using non-fic-tion text and dramatic play, students continued their

School district programs and initiatives are underway thanks to grants from the lo-cal Elizabeth Norton Trust Fund.

Louis Toffolon Elementary School’s Library Informa-tion Specialist Deb Pikiell re-ceived a grant to support the “One School, One Book” ini-tiative. The goal is to create a shared reading experience with all children and fam-ilies at Toffolon. This year all Toffolon students will be reading “The World Accord-ing to Humphrey.” Each child will get a book and calendar of what should be read each

week and ideas for discus-sion. The school will hold activities that promote the shared reading experience.

Toffolon’s Art Instruc-tor and Head Teacher Mi-chael Zaba received a grant for the After School Pro-gram’s Robotics component. The robotics program al-lows for project-based learn-ing opportunities focused on hands-on building, problem solving, and the application of 21st century skills. In the program, students will be-gin to build a ground work for moving robotics into sci-ence, technology, engineering

and mathematics curricula (STEM concepts). The grant allows for the opportunity to buy and use LEGO MIND-STORMS Education EV3 ac-tivity kits that help support students in creating robots to program and carry out ac-tivities, collect data, and ap-ply concepts learned during in school. Activities and les-sons serve as an introduc-tion to robotics exploration, software programing, and re-al-world applications.

Michael Boncimino, Greg Wilfrid, and Marilyn Brendel will produce “Carnival of the Animals” — a clas-sical music performance thanks to funding from the Elizabeth Norton Trust. The Saint-Saens piece features an ensemble of strings, woodwinds, and percussion, and is a zoological journey through music. The elemen-tary music teachers will prepare stu-dents in all three elementary schools for the performance with a study of the Saint-Saens piece.

Through a collaboration between Wheeler Elementary School art in-structor Linda Helming and Kathryn Matsuzaki, coordinator of school & family programs at the New Britain Museum of American Art, together with funding from the Elizabeth Norton Trust, plans are under way for student artwork to be displayed at the museum in New Britain. The Plainville Community Schools Art

Show will be exhibited from April 14-19 and will include artwork from all grade levels.

At the Middle School of Plainville, library information teacher Joyce Lynch received a grant to support a future visit from an author. New York Times best-selling author Tim Green will visit the middle school in Octo-ber. Green, a former linebacker and defensive end for the Atlanta Falcon who completed law school while he was in the NFL, has written books about baseball and football for mid-dle school students as well as court-room thrillers for adults. His middle school titles include themes such as persistence and honesty. This will be Green’s second visit to the Middle School of Plainville. “He is a dynamic and engaging speaker whose presen-tations focus on the importance of hard work, determination, perse-verance, and education,” explained Lynch. “MSP’s students are fortunate to have the opportunity to hear such

an energetic and enthusiastic speaker. Many thanks to the Norton Founda-tion; without their generous support this visit would not be possible.”

At the high school level, volunteer program coordinator Sue Bradley received a grant to support the new “+KIK” Peer Mentoring Program. The program pairs high school stu-dents with eighth-graders who come together twice monthly for conversa-tion and fun. The goal is to provide an upper class mentor and friend to the middle-schoolers to help ease the transition to high school.

Plainville Adult and Continuing Education also received a grant from the Norton Trust to buy admission passes to The New Britain Museum of American Art. Plainville Adult Education (mandated program) stu-dents, their families, and staff will gain a full year of unlimited admis-sion to the museum, accommodating over 100 students. The passes will be split among the two physical program

sites: Plainville High School and Lin-den Street School, and distributed to students through the program’s lend-ing libraries. Jill O’Brien, Plainville Adult and Continuing Education co-ordinator, said, “Thanks to the gener-osity of the Elizabeth Norton Trust, Adult Education students and their families will be exposed to rich, cul-tural experiences. Visits to the mu-seum align with current educational family literacy initiatives, promoting parents’ long-term investment and growth in their children’s educational development.”

“The Elizabeth Norton Trust is a tremendous example of community partnership with public education. The Plainville Community Schools and the Trust have a long and excit-ing history of promoting creativity together. We are so thankful for the support they provide to our staff,” School Superintendent Jeffrey Kitch-ing said.

Berlin ends Plainville’s season

PLAINVILLE — The Lady Blue Devils were looking for the necessary wins to qualify for the postseason.

The Lady Redcoats were looking for revenge.

In a spirited regular season fi-nale, Berlin (10-10) found what it was looking for in a 59-

40 victory Monday night that elimi-nated Plainville (7-13) from playoff contention.

“They got us last time in our gym, and we wanted to come here and make it right,” said Berlin coach Sheila King. “So that was our goal.”

The last time the two teams met, Plainville stole a win on Berlin’s home court, 39-34, Jan. 23. That victory was one of seven for the Blue Devils as they entered their final contest of the season, needing a win to qualify for the postseason.

From the tip, Berlin had no inten-tion of letting that happen.

The Redcoats jumped out to an early 13-5 lead after one quarter be-

hind multiple baskets from senior Alyssa Germano, who led all scorers with 22 points.

“Alyssa has had a few good games in a row now,” King said. “She’s very confident and the girls are doing a great job finding her, she’s doing a great job getting open and she’s play-ing with a lot of confidence. We’re just thrilled for her.”

Yet with its season on the line, Plainville wasn’t ready to roll over so easily. Junior Stephanie Martino (10 points) single-handedly kept the Blue Devils in the game.

“She’s our fighter. I can’t speak enough of her,” said Plainville coach Jennifer Gombotz. “I think she had maybe our first eight or 10 points of the game. She never lets up. She’s played every single minute of almost every single game this season, and I can’t ask any more of her. She’s a workhorse.”

A fury of offense from the junior guard brought the host team within striking distance at 14-10.

Four points back is as close as Plainville would get.

Berlin used an 11-6 run to finish the half with a 25-16 lead before piling it on in the second half.

The Redcoats outscored the Blue

Devils 18-6 in the third.“Alyssa Germano told them ‘We’re

ahead, let’s keep pulling ahead’ and that’s all it takes is for the seniors to say something,” King said. “We, as coaches, could say it until we’re blue in the face, but to hear it from a peer, they’re good to go.”

Aside from Germano’s offensive onslaught, she received plenty of support from another Alyssa: soph-omore Alyssa Grant, who scored 14 points and proved to be a nuisance in the low post to every Plainville player who dared venture on the block. Sophomore Nina D’Amato added nine

points for the Redcoats, who won their final three games of the season heading into tournament play.

Berlin is currently ranked 21st in the Class L standings, and will dis-cover who its first-round opponent is Wednesday, Feb. 25.

The Blue Devils got strong play from sophomore Taleah McCrorey and freshman Isabel Lozefski, who both scored eight points.

“I think we had a lot of young play-ers playing significant roles. I had two or three freshmen out on the court at any one time tonight,” Gombotz said. “It’s good, valuable experience for them. If they take it and never set-tle for falling short for the next three years, then we’ve hit a bump in the road that’s worth it.

“Hopefully, they won’t ever want to have that feeling again, where they know the season ended tonight.”

Senior Deja Samuel, playing in her final game for Plainville, scored seven points. The Blue Devils also received strong contributions throughout the contest from seniors Megan Dalena and Rachel Lancaster. All three were removed separately from the game in the waning minutes of the fourth quarter, with the fans recognizing their efforts each time.

learning about winter ani-mals and problem solved on how all the animals could stay warm in the winter.

Students retold the story of The Mitten using props, developing communica-tion skills through play. The “Hibernation and Animals in Winter” theme intro-duced students to different ways that animals survive in the cold. Students made connections to themselves and things they do during the winter months. Over the course of a few days, in

dramatic play, the children used “found” materials from nature and recycled items to work together to create a house they may want to live in for the winter. Students were assessed on their ap-proach to creating a struc-ture, capacity to problem solve with peers or seek help, and their use of peer observation to gain new ideas for solving problems.

Our newly expanded pre-school program features col-laboration with area Pre-K/daycare providers such as the Plainville YMCA, Great Beginnings, Penny’s Play-

ground and the Plainville Early Learning Center to provide Pre-K program-ming and/or daycare when the students are not attend-ing the Plainville Commu-nity Preschool Program. Our program was purposely designed to not run on Mon-day afternoons so that each of our certified preschool teachers in the Plainville Community Pre-K can serve as a liaison to these local providers. Our teachers regularly consult with each program regarding student concerns. This has led to referrals to our program for

screenings.During the 2014-15 school

year, we have begun a “Dine and Discuss” program that will meet twice annually. During these evening ses-sions, all preschool pro-viders in Plainville meet to share ideas and specific in-service training is pro-vided. Our first session was held on Jan. 13. Over 50 local preschool providers attended and learned about using visuals to structure a prekindergarten classroom as well as technology for preschoolers.

The Plainville Commu-

nity Preschool Program is hoping to make upgrades next year if awarded a Smart Start grant that was recently submitted to the State De-partment of Education. This could add additional slots and fund some facilities im-provements, allowing us to attain national accreditation.

For more information about the program, or to inquire about enrolling for the next school year, contact Cathy Demers at (860) 793-3270 ext. 142.
