Hurricane Irene, later tobe downgraded to TropicalStorm Irene, came whippingthrough the state in the early

hours of Sunday morning,leaving a path of destructionworth billions of dollars andhundreds of thousands ofhomes without power.

Plainville was not unique,as flash flooding forced resi-

dents from their homes onRobert Street Ext., and as ofMonday, about 1,600 peoplewere still left with the lightsout with Connecticut Lightand Power scrambling to getcustomers illuminated again.As of Tuesday morning, Con-necticut Light and Power’swebsite claimed 45 Plainvilleresidents were still withoutpower.

“There are traffic lightsout on New Britain Avenue,but we have portable stopsigns up,” said Plainville Po-lice Sgt. Charles Smedick onMonday.

Also affected by the stormwas the Plainville Fire Com-pany’s Hot Air Balloon Festi-val, which is the biggestevent of the year for the com-pany. Fireworks and the bal-loon glow on Friday nightstill took place as scheduled,but on Saturday Irene madeher widely unwanted pres-ence known.

On the event’s Facebookpage, the festival was an-nounced to open at 5:30 a.m.on Saturday and the compa-

In the world of iPhones, users might befamiliar with the phrase, “There’s an appfor that.”

But up until a couple weeks ago, therewasn’t an application that does what Flicthe Movie Tracker does, developed byPlainville resident Shaun Wyman and hisfriend and business partner Kevin Morgan.

The Flic application allows users totrack release dates for movies for whateverservices the user prefers, like NetFlix, Red-Box, InDemand, DirecTV OnDemand,iTunes, and theatrical releases.

“Me and Kevin have had a lot of differentdumb ideas over the years and always joked

if one of us actually had a good one, wewould always go 50-50 no matter what, meand him would always do it together,”Wyman said about getting the idea rollingfor the application.

Wyman, 31, said the idea got startedwhen he was flipping through releases onComcast, but couldn’t remember what wasgood or the previews for any of the movies.

Morgan, 31, said they started working onFlic around mid-March, and finallylaunched the application several weeksago. Wyman and Morgan said they weren’tsure what to expect in terms of downloads,and thought that getting 10 to 15 downloadsa day (with no publicity) was a low number.

However, attorney Ken-neth John Laska, who repre-sents board member AndreaSaunders, said the assemblywas not actually a meetingbecause, according to a statestatute, notices of such must

Redeemer’s Church salutes soldiersBy Carla D. SimmonsSpecial to The Citizen

On Aug. 20, the JubileeChorus of Redeemer’sA.M.E. Zion Church, 110Whiting St., Plainville, spon-sored the outdoor “ThankYou Fest” in honor of thearmed force’s veterans andtroops presently serving inthe U.S. military.

With the parking lot patri-otically festooned in red,white and blue, approximate-ly 40 people gathered to cele-brate and enjoy music, foodand fellowship. Following thesinging of “The Battle Hymnof the Republic,” variousgroups and individuals enter-tained and engaged the audi-ence with gospel and tradi-tional songs. Three barrels of“goodies” including toi-letries, snacks, books andthank you letters were col-lected to be shipped to thetroops.

The highlight of the after-noon was provided by Sgt.Jamell McDonald, a memberof the Connecticut NationalGuard, HHC 1-102 INF, NewHaven. McDonald, 26, en-tered the National Guard inFebruary 2003 and served two

Many who attended weredeeply moved by and ex-pressed gratitude for the sac-rifices the U.S. troops aremaking and have made. “Wehad a wonderful time at thisprogram. Thank you to allthe service men and women,”said Carol Shephard, whosedaughter served in DesertStorm and is an Air ForceMaster Sergeant currentlystationed stateside.

Patricia Beverley said, “Itwas a very inspirational af-ternoon. I’m so glad I attend-ed.”

Jean Mack, president ofthe Jubilee Choir, asked, “Dopeople really care about oursoldiers?” She hopes they doand that this effort, in somesmall way, lifted the spirits ofany soldier, active or veteran,who may be thinking he orshe is forgotten.

In ad-dition to military missions,his unit spent time trying tomake everyday life better forthe Afghani people in variousvillages.

Those wild dancing days when the bands playedBy Ruth Sharp HummelSpecial to The Citizen

Plainville residents havealways hadan affinityfor music ofall kinds.Whether itwas the an-cient Fifeand DrumCorps orGrace Jerseyleading the Plainville HighBand, townsfolk stood andcheered.

As early as 1877 there wasa removable band stand,which from time to time, me-andered to a new spot in thecenter of town. After servingas the center of attention formany a musical evening, thepoor thing fell apart and wasnever replaced.

But think of the happycrowds, gathered on balmyevenings in the various locallocations. Ladies in whitesummer gowns, with highnecks and long sleeves notcool — but oh, so stylish!Kids running around yelling

Hummel

as loud as the music, andmen, in clusters, perhaps dis-cussing the news, or perhapssipping from the bottle thatwas being passed.

Much later in the mid1900s, the Plainville LionsClub made valiant attemptsto build a band stand in Nor-ton Park, but it never hap-pened.

But back to 1871: thePlainville Band (also knownas the Plainville CornetBand, even the Citizen Cor-net Band) was formed andwas an immediate hit. By Au-gust of 1872, uniforms hadbeen purchased and “granduniforms they were” consist-ing of swallow-tail coats andtrousers with gold braids!

The instruments for theensemble were obtained withfunds donated by those musicloving townsfolk. The patri-otic fever still was affectingthe citizens from the CivilWar. Additional pieces werepaid for by band members.

Hark! I hear the themefrom “Music Man.” Don’tyou?

The group played fordances into the wee smallhours of the morning and allover the area and drew largecrowds.

The history of the Plainville Military Band isvery confusing and it seemsto be the same as thePlainville Cornet Band: In1825 it had 25 members andwas often referred to as sim-ply the Plainville Band. Veryconfusing.

One account from that eratells us that when the famousColts Band in Hartford(known as the best in Con-necticut) found itself withtoo many bookings, it wouldsend some uniforms over to

Plainville and “our boys”would play the extra gig.Supposedly no one was everthe wiser.

Another very populargroup, the “O.H. RobertsonCelebrated Quadrille Band”(O.H. was Stan Robertson’sgrandfather) was very activeduring the 1890s. O.H. endedhis career by cutting off thetip of a finger.

YMCA is participating in theJCPenney philanthropiccampaign that supports af-ter-school programs nation-wide. Pennies from Heaveninvites customers at JCPen-ney stores to donate theirspare change, which in turnwill be used to provide chil-dren in need with specialprogramming.

“With budget cuts in edu-cation, there’s never been amore important time to sup-port after-school programsas a valuable community re-source that helps to bridgethe education gap,” saidChris Pallatto, executive di-rector of the Wheeler Re-gional Family YMCA andvice president of member-ship and strategic develop-ment for the YMCA ofGreater Hartford. “As localfamilies prepare for theback-to-school season, we

hope they will keep our mis-sion in mind so that the so-cial and academic learningopportunities we provide af-ter school will continue to beavailable to area students.”

National research showsthat one out of four studentsin the U.S. is on his or herown between the hours of 3and 6 p.m. each day.

The Wheeler RegionalFamily YMCA, 149 Farming-ton Ave., serves area stu-dents by providing childrenand teenagers with a safeand nurturing environmentaround caring adult rolemodels. Combining playwith academics, the Y’s after-school program promotescreativity, a love for learn-ing, social and emotional de-velopment, and characterbuilding.

Citizen readers in April asthe best insurance companyserving Plainville andSouthington, has gonethrough changes sinceBerlin resident Stephen

Nims bought it in January.While future changes loom,the company has nonethe-less embraced a stable corephilosophy, according toNims.

“We are a main street busi-ness where many customerswalk in,“ said Nims aboutthe agency, which has been amember of the PlainvilleChamber of Commerce formore than 10 years. “Rela-tionships are the basis of oursuccess.”

The company was origi-nally established in 1991 bymarried couple Ono and Di-ane Brandi. Ono has sincedied.

Nims, 46, and his business

partner Michael Nelson, 43,now employ nine people andare building a new websiteand logo.

Nims, who has been in theinsurance industry since1989, said there were majorchanges that needed to bemade in features such astechnology. He credited hisemployees for helping to in-sure a smooth transition.

The company now pro-vides assistance with bothcommercial and personal in-surance. Nims estimatedthat about two-thirds of hisbusiness is commercial in-surance and that the agencyserves about 1,500 cus-tomers. Most of the agency’s

business comes fromPlainville, Bristol andSouthington, he said.

Board member,voice of reason

To the editor:Thank you, Andrea Saun-

ders, Republican member ofthe Plainville Board of Edu-cation. Finally, you provideus with an honest voice ofreason and some long over-due accountability to the tax-payers of Plainville.

The Plainville Board ofEducation has long been anelite bastion of the local pro-gressive Democrats, includ-ing the past superintendent,who have led us down thetreacherous path of tower-ing school building debt, nowdue and payable. The Democ-rats in majority has beensuccessful to date, in relegat-ing most Republicans to theback of the school bus to qui-etly sit and sip the Kool Aid.The compliant interlopersflee the scene as soon as theirterm is over. It has been ourloss. Anyone, including pri-vate citizens who questionare branded anti-educationand vilified. Enter the com-petent, principled, and Iwould add, brave Mrs. Saun-ders.

The information at issue,termed encumbrances, con-sists of funds expended atthe very end of the fiscalyear. Amazingly, things con-sistently work out so that allbills are paid on June 30,with no additional funds re-quested, and there is no mon-ey left over to be returned tothe town. The Republicancontingent on the town coun-cil, acting according to thecharter as the finance board,wants to review these fig-

ures. Common sense tells usthat the information shouldbe provided without ques-tion or delay and withoutcharge. Furthermore, thisreview really should includefive years in arrears to estab-lish a pattern of BOE year-end spending.

Andrea Saunders’ timingis perfect. Our new superin-tendent, we hope, will main-tain a nonpartisan stance, tohonestly serve his employer,the taxpayers of Plainville.The voters need to do theirpart to provide Andrea withsome competent allies. I sup-port Charlotte Koskoff, whothinking on her own, recent-ly suggested diverting someyear-end money to fund abeneficial reading programand was shouted down, andthe independent, diligentand outspoken John Kisluk. Iam so sad that I cannot rec-ommend any Republicancandidate for the board thistime.

Questioning‘road blocks’

To the editor:After months of bickering

back and forth between theelectees to the board of edu-cation and the town council,I pose this question to[school board chairwoman]Becky Tyrrell:

Why all the road blocks infurnishing requested paper-work and providing defini-tive answers to the councilwho represent me as well asall the citizens of Plainville?Stonewalling has been ap-parent and I have to wonderwhy. Are you trying todemonstrate to the Plainvillecitizenry that you are incharge of the board of edand you alone decides whatand whom you respond to?As I recall, when the deci-sion was made to charge forFOI documents, it was con-veniently made by Dr.Binkowski, serving as inter-im superintendent, lettingyou off the hook.

and more disconcerting, isthere something the board ofed is trying to conceal fromPlainville citizens?

William Shakespearewrote, “He doth protest toomuch.” In this case, it makesme wonder if it’s “she.”

Carole FrangosPlainville

Disgustedwith actions

To the editor:I recently read the latest

article in The Plainville Citi-zen regarding the ongoingbattle between the board ofeducation and the town coun-cil regarding the availabilityof documents regarding en-cumbrances, funds remain-ing at the end of the budgetyear to pay for items thathave not yet been billed. The

more I read the article, themore disgusted I became.

The first thing you readabout is board of educationchairperson Becky Tyrrell’sreference to a Freedom of In-formation Commission rul-ing in Newington. As I un-derstand it, the ruling Ms.Tyrrell is referencing per-tains to Newington only, notstate-wide. This is Plainvilleand let’s concentrate on howPlainville corrects its prob-lems.

Ms. Tyrrell goes on to saythat the decision to chargethe council was made by In-terim School Superinten-dent, Kathleen Binkowski,the board of education didnot meet concerning charg-ing the council for FOI infor-mation, Am I being led to be-lieve that the interim schoolsuperintendent is refusingthe release of financial docu-ments because of $.50 perpage cost? This coming fromthe same board of education

that had enough funding tohire a lawyer to tell our towncouncil they work for thestate of Connecticut. Per-haps that money came fromthe account that once al-lowed our school children toparticipate in sports withoutcharge.

Ms. Tyrrell states that“one of the main problems Ihave with this situation, as amember of the board, our by-laws and ethically we knowyou are not to do anythingthat would create a situationthat would benefit someoneelse because you want to. Inthis situation, that’s exactlywhat happened,” Tyrrellsaid.

Is Ms. Tyrrell saying that[board of education mem-ber] Andrea Saunders ac-tions were unethical? As Iunderstand it, Ms. Saundersis a member of the board ofeducation and is entitled todocuments. If she wants toshare them with her hus-

band, so what. The last Iknew Scott Saunders is amember of the PlainvilleTown Council, not the KGB.

If the board of educationis questioning the moralstandards of one of its mem-bers, I believe this falls un-der the jurisdiction of chair-person Tyrrell. It is curiousthat for over a year, Dr.Binkowski and Tyrrell haveexerted so much energy infinding ways not to discloseexpenditures and encum-brances to the town council,but it only took a week tohave a meeting called to dis-cuss the “unethical” doingsof one of its board of educa-tion members.

Ms. Tyrrell mentions theproblem Richard CarmelichIII, school director of fi-nances and operations, hav-ing to go to the high schoolbasement to retrieve a billrequested by the council. Inthis day and age, don’t wehave computer programs

that store that informationfor easy access? I have sat intown council meetings whenour town manager, with ourtown accountant sittingnearby, was asked directquestions pertaining to thetown budget. A few keystrokes on his laptop com-puter by the accountant andthe needed information waspassed on to the town man-ager who answered the ques-tions in minutes. I wouldhave thought that theschool’s director of financesand operations would haverequested that form of com-puter information systemaccessibility years ago.

Ms. Tyrrell states, “I’mdistressed, this is not whatwe are supposed to be focus-ing on. We want to have agood school year with a newsuperintendent and we arebogged down with ‘he said,she said.’ This is not at all

queue, the application willnotify the user immediatelywhen the movie becomesavailable for whatever serv-ice was selected.

Before actually beginningthe work, Wyman and Mor-gan searched through otherapplications, trying to see iftheir idea had been done be-fore.

“The first month before weactually started doing any-thing, we were trying to findthis,” Wyman said. “Wethought it had to exist, wethought we were missing be-cause how does it not exist?”

Come to find out, Wyman’sand Morgan’s idea wasunique, so the two beganblueprinting and putting the

application into motion.They enlisted the help ofWyman’s brother, who oper-ates computer servers for aliving, to run the server forFlic. Wyman said Morgan didthe coding, and then theyhired a 17-year-old developerfrom North Carolina theyfound on the Internet to de-velop the visual portion ofthe application.

“So we’re using our realworld skills in different areasand putting them to work,”Wyman said.

For 99 cents, iPhone userscan get the Flic app, whichWyman said he and Morganspent less than $500 to put to-gether. The first-time applica-tion developers said there areplans to expand Flic, by de-veloping the application forAndroid phones, and eventu-

ally Blackberry if it reallytakes off.

“What we really want to dois we want to get out to moreusers,” Morgan said. “Sowhether that’s developing itfor the Android phones, evenjust rolling it out to our web-site, just as a website thatpeople can go to and use theservices that we’ve built.”

Wyman said if the applica-tion has been downloaded toan iPhone, users can use thewebsite along with it. Headded the possibility ofadding more features to theservice as well, like beingable to queue actors and filmdirectors as opposed to justmovie titles.

One of the big advantagesfor users is the 99 cents is aone-time fee, somethingWyman said he and Morgandon’t have any immediateplans to change. He said up-dates might cost a few dollarsin the future if they want toexpand, because that re-quires hiring developersagain and going through thewhole process.

“We’ve actually been toldwe might be silly for makingit a one-time fee. People inthe business are telling us weshould charge a cheap sub-scription fee,” Wyman said.“We don’t have enough mon-ey invested to worry aboutlosing money, so we hopeeveryone likes it and if wemake money off it, great.”

Pride Night

Photos by Patrick Matthews(patrickmatthewsphotography.com)

Last week, the PlainvilleHigh School football teamheld its first practice of theseason in full pads. Theannual midnight session— Pride Night — drew agood crowd of onlookers.

By Nick CarrollThe Plainville Citizen

As summer comes to aclose, some sports tidbitsfrom this reporter’s note-book …

OH WHAT A NIGHT:Plainville High School foot-ball coach Chris Farrell saidhis team’s second annualPride Night was a success.

Last Monday, at midnight,the Blue Devils took the fieldfor their first full-contactpractice of the season. Asizeable crowd came out toget a first look at the localgridders.

“The stands were full andthere were people standingaround the fence,” Farrellsaid. “The players andcoaches really appreciatethe support the town givesus. The support really moti-vates the players and makesthem pick it up a couplenotches. The players did agreat job and have continuedto work hard. It was a greatway to start the season.”

Plainville is coming off itsfinest season in more than adecade. The Blue Devils fin-ished 8-3 in 2010.

IT BEGINS: ThePlainville High School foot-ball team has been workingout since mid-August. Thispast weekend, PHS’s remain-ing fall sports teams — boysand girls soccer, girls swim-ming, volleyball and crosscountry — were slated to be-gin practice.

PHS girls soccer coachLeszek Wrona, for one, feltconfident his players wouldshow up for Day 1 in shape.

Wrona expected the LadyBlue Devils to put in a goodamount of work during theoff-season. “I’m sure theydid,” he said. “You have tocount on the players to dosome stuff during the off-season and to be ready forthe season.”

Tim Brown, the boys soc-cer coach at PHS, echoedthat. “Fitness training is all

I’m allowed to be involvedin” during the off-season,said Brown. “Anything theydo on their own is really upto them. Certainly they’reencouraged to do whateverball-work they can do.”

LOOKING FOR ANEDGE: Days before hisPlainville High School vol-leyball team was to convenefor the season, coach SteveCompson was hitting thebooks. “I am going throughmy notebooks on volley-ball,” he said. “The night Iwas hired for JV, I startedtaking notes on volleyballand I have not stopped yet.”

This is Compson’s fifthyear at the helm of the LadyBlue Devils.

“Almost every book I haveread on coaching or sports,each DVD I have watched,each clinic I have attended, Ihave notes and diagrams for.I did that for basketball aswell,” Compson pointed out.“Many times (former PHSgirls basketball coach) LisaMandeville and I raced fromwork to the opening of aclinic on Friday. We got upearly so we would not miss asession on the weekends. Wewere always looking for anew idea to add to the arse-nal, a better way to coach askill.”

WASH OUT: With Hurri-cane Irene bearing down onthe east coast, the PlainvilleHigh School girls swimteam’s planned trip to CampSpofford in New Hampshirelast week was cancelled.

The Lady Blue Devilswere to hit the road Fridayand spend five days up northtraining and bonding.

PATS ATTACK: NikoKoutouvides ran into his for-mer team, the Tampa BayBuccaneers, recently.Koutouvides and his newemployer, the New EnglandPatriots, downed the Bucs,31-14, in a preseasonmatchup Aug. 18.

Koutouvides, a PlainvilleHigh School graduate, is en-tering his eighth NFL sea-son. The 30-year-old seesmost of his action on specialteams, and he’s just fine withthat.

“Anything they ask of me,that’s my job,” Koutouvidestold Enterprise News, ex-plaining his role with the Pa-triots. “(My job’s) to do whatI’m told, and I can’t controlanything else.”

DAY IS DONE: VeteranBerlin High School athleticsdirector Jim Day will leavehis post at the end of the aca-demic year after a decade onthe job. The 58-year-old is notin the market for a ham-mock, however. He will seekother employment, and plansto return to coaching. “I’mgoing to stay busy,” said Day,who navigated the BHSwrestling team for nearlythree decades before givingup the reins of the programin 2007. “I’m not ready to re-tire totally.”

Coaching-wise, Day saidhis future plans are wideopen. He could land back inhigh school, or collegewrestling, perhaps, andwouldn’t mind serving as anassistant. “My ego doesn’ttell me I have to be a headcoach.”

Florida is a very strange sportsstate.

It has two baseball teams, The Tam-pa Bay Rays which have won two ALEast titles plus an American Leaguepennant in the last three years, andthe Florida Marlins, which has wontwo World Series.

Nobody cares.I took in a game between the Seattle

Mariners and the Rays at TropicanaField on Aug. 19. The Rays won in dra-matic fashion, scoring two runs off of

King Felix Hernandez in the eighthwith a large assist from the dreadfulMariners’ defense.

A word about Hernandez. He hasgreat numbers. Innings pitched,earned run average, strikeouts towalks ratio. All great. Except he does-n’t win games.

Last year he won the Cy YoungAward for all those lovely numbers.Except his win total is not lovely. He isone of those guys — The Yankees’ A.J.Burnett is the poster boy for this cate-gory — who finds a way to lose. Seattlescores one, he gives up two, Seattlescores four, he gives up five.

Tell me all the numbers you like.Last time I checked the only thing thatcounts is the standings, which is basedon won-lost record.

Gimme a pitcher who wins games,not a stat winner. But I digress.

That night some 14,500 fans showedup at the Tropicana Dome. If thatmany fans showed up for a Red Sox orYankee game they would call thegame off.

The other night a paltry 11,000somehow found their way to the park— which is located on an interstate

highway in the middle of ametropolitan area of 3 mil-lion people — and JustinVerlander was pitching forfirst-place (AL Central) De-troit.

These people don’t deservea baseball team.

And worse, Manager JoeMadden is hammered on thetalk shows because his teamis nine games out. Hey, thisteam lost its best player —Carl Crawford — its firstbaseman, virtually its entirebullpen, including closerRafael Soriano — and some-how Madden has the team 10games over .500.

With a team that can’t hita lick.

But these local yokelsknow nothing about base-ball. They are too busy try-ing to figure out which oftheir college football teamscan win a national title. Buthey, it’s a state that rates col-leges on how good the foot-ball team is.

And you should hear theexcuses and rationales givenfor the embarrassment thatis the University of Miami.

I told you in a piece somedays ago about the Marlins.No one goes to their games,either. But at least they aregetting a new stadium andthat has to be an improve-ment over the football stadi-um they play in now.

But a baseball state this isnot.

I did however, have fun atthe Rays’ game. I took mytwo aunts — aged 89 and 93

— and we sat in right field.They are baseball savvy, aheckuva lot more savvy thana lot of Rays’ fans if theirtalk show “contributions”are any indication.

They both inhaled hotdogs and drinks — Marion,the elder, had three BudLights, which is par for thecourse; keeps her young, shesays — and Marge didn’tmiss a trick.

I also took in a minorleague game in Clearwater,the Class A ClearwaterThreshers, a Phillies’ farmclub. Some 3,555 showed up,which is not at all bad forthis level.

Of course, that it was $1beer night might have hadsomething to do with it. Butit was a fun night. The teamplays at Bright House Field,the Phillies’ spring traininghome, so the place is majorleague quality.

But even then, the St. PeteTimes, a very good paper, ig-nores the team, printing onlythe box score. But they fillthe paper with minute-by-minute accounts of thestate’s college football teamsand of the Tampa Bay Bucs.

But funny thing, the Bucscan’t give away tickets either.And the JacksonvilleJaguars are an attendancedisaster. Right now, not a sin-gle NFL Bucs’ home game isnear being sold out.

But, oh yeah, I forget, theNFL is America’s real na-tional sport. Bet on it.

Pun intended.I will be glad to get back to

Laska tried to make hispoint by speaking out duringdiscussion but was admon-ished by Kitching, schoolboard chairwoman BeckyTyrrell and Christine L.Chinni, Plainville Board ofEducation attorney, who saidthere was no public commentallowed.

The special meeting wasscheduled after Saundersmade an FOI request formore than 200 pages of infor-mation and then shared the

documents with her hus-band, Plainville Town Coun-cil member Scott Saundersand other councilors.

Earlier this month then-interim superintendentKathleen Binkowski decidedthe council and any other or-ganization would be re-quired to pay $.50 per pagefor any documentation; itwas formerly provided freeof charge.

Board of education offi-cials felt Andrea Saundersmade the request to obtainthe information for free — asshe is entitled — rather thanrequiring the council to paya $112 bill. Scott Saundersand Lee Toffey had previous-

ly requested the same infor-mation and were informedthere was now a charge.

The Newington ruling wascited numerous times byTyrell and Chinni. The deci-sion does not require theboard to charge but gives theright to, Chinni said.

The purpose of obtainingthe information, Saunderssaid, was to give insight intoencumbrances, funds re-maining at the end of a budg-et year to pay for items thathave not yet been billed.

Most of the discussionwas between Saunders andTyrrell, both of whom ex-pressed dissatisfaction withthe actions of the other per-

son. Tyrrell also said it was a“complicating factor” thatScott Saunders has not beensupportive of the board ofeducation.

When Andrea Saunderssaid, “He’s doing his job,” theaudience applauded.

Saunders said during thepast one and one-half years

on the school board she hasnot been getting clear infor-mation. She described her-self as a “deer in the head-lights” when she first beganserving and was not givenany guidance nor know theright questions to ask. “Did

you or Dr. Binkowski everonce call me? I have had tolearn as I go,” she said.

Laska and Saunders bothsaid they have not receivedall board communications.“You’re not keeping me inthe loop,” Laska said.

When a press release wassent by the school board re-

garding Saunders’ requestfor documents and subse-quent distribution, she saidshe knew nothing about it un-til a friend told her it was inthe newspaper. “No one hasasked me to sit down and talkabout it,” Saunders said.

“The number one thingpeople ask me and I don’tknow the answer to is why isthere so much money left atthe end of the year. I don’tknow what msakes up en-

cumbrance. I’m tired of say-ing that,” Saunders said.

Several suggestions weremade of ways to disseminateclear information to the pub-lic, such as what is alreadyaccessible.

“Why don’t we have a meet-ing where Rich [CarmelichIII, school director of fi-nances and operations] cangive us, not finance 1010, buta more thorough understand-ing, the way things work sowe have an understanding ofencumbrances and fi-nances,” said PatrickRingrose, school board mem-ber.

Saunders had also men-tioned having a representa-tive of the FOIC come speakat a meeting, which somemembers thought was a goodidea.

Upon a previous sugges-tion by Kitching, an auditcommittee was formed withCharlotte Koskoff, LorriGoldsmith and Ringrose whowill develop a standard pro-cedure for when informationis requested. It is not knownwhen they will make theirfirst report to the board..

The school board’s firstregular meeting for the 2011-12 school year will be Mon-day, Sept. 12, 7 p.m. at thePlainville High School cafete-ria.

“I was totally amazed athow fast and strong the waterwas moving,” she said. “It re-minded me of news clips yousee on TV of flash floods outwest.”

Krampitz said walkingover the bridge made hernervous, where they saw aDumpster being removedthat was up against thebridge. She said it remindedher husband, Ed, of the floodin 1955.

“For my husband, Ed, theview of the dumpster upagainst the bridge was déjàvu,” she said, “taking himback to when, as a youngster,he rode his bicycle to thissame bridge during the Au-gust 1955 flood to see a largeoil tank banging against thebridge the same way as thisDumpster was.”

right. For over a year theboard of education has re-fused to attend town councilmeetings, walked out of towncouncil meetings, hired alawyer rather than work withthe council, and now, becauseof Dr. Binkowski’s decision,

the $.50 per copy cost, refusesto give the town council free-dom of information docu-ments. If Dr. Binkowski andMs. Tyrrell are truly inter-ested in a quick, time savingsolution, then cooperate withour town council and quitefrankly accept Mr. Saundersand Lee Toffey’s requestsopenly.

Rescuersdeserve kudos

To the editor:Thank you to the Plainville animal

control officer, Gabriele Paciotti, andthe Plainville Fire Department.

On Aug. 22, a small young kittensomehow found its way into the hood ofa vehicle in the Kohl’s shopping plazaand got stuck. The only thing heard wasits loud cries for help. Gabby respondedto the call but needed assistance. Soontwo other police officers arrived and acrowd gathered. We all watched hopingto catch a glimpse of it when I finallysaw two little gold eyes peeking up atme. Gabby tried to free it but no success.

About 45 minutes later, the fire de-partment came to the rescue. A fire-fighter who went by the name Irishwent under the BMW to search. I re-member he told me, “Don’t worry; I willget it.” He said it with such confidence Ifinally relaxed. As I watched Gabby andIrish work together, I felt so proud tolive in Plainville.

Gabby not only does her job, she doesit with love. The animals she rescues ona daily basis know she cares about themand feel protected. The strays inPlainville are lucky to be lost in ourtown, and by the way, Irish was success-ful. He freed an 8-week-old very greasyfemale kitty. Thank you, Irish!

The crowd decided this little girlneeded a name. Before breaking up weall agreed to call her “Beemer” sinceshe chose a BMW that day. Beemerneeds a good home and a lot of love.Contact Gabby at Plainville AnimalControl for more information. Thankyou again, Gabby and Irish, for caringabout our four-legged friends.
