Looking at Matthew Cata-nia, Plainville’s new policechief, at the Sept. 16 recep-tion held in his honor at thepublic library, residentscould get the impression hejust won the lottery: He nev-er stops smiling.

They would be incorrect.Catania said he’s just an

enthusiastic person who isexcited about his new job,getting to know his fellow po-lice officers and meetingpeople in the community.

The new chief followsChief Daniel Coppinger whoretired late in 2009.Plainville Police Capt. PeterCostanzo served as interimpolice chief until Cataniawas hired. He was sworn inon Aug. 2.

Before he took the top po-lice position in town, Cata-

nia served as captain of theSimsbury Police Depart-ment where he had workedsince 1985. He applied for thePlainville position becausehe felt he had accomplishedall he could in Simsbury andwanted to serve as chief of adepartment.

Before he was officiallyhired by the Plainville TownCouncil, Catania, 50, said hewas interested in the com-munity because of its simi-larities to Simsbury. Al-though Plainville is only 9.8square miles and Simsburyis 34.5 square miles, thereare 35 people in each policedepartment. But to him,most importantly, is the fact“there are people who careabout the community.”

To get to know those whoserve on the Plainville force,he has an open door policyand encourages officers tocome talk to him about what

they would like to accom-plish personally in their pro-fession and would like to see

in the department. Severalhave told him they wouldlike to pursue further profes-

sional training, get more in-volved in outreach programsand see positive, construc-tive change. He strives to en-gage them in dialogue sothey can know each otherbetter, create a more cohe-sive department and im-prove the police image in thecommunity.

“I have a young depart-ment that is looking for pro-fessional development,” hesaid.

What officers and resi-dents see is who he is, Cata-nia said. “I’m a very trans-parent guy. I tell you how Ifeel, it is the way I am.”

He has also walked down-town numerous times tospeak to people on the streetsand visited businesses. Somepeople approached himwhile others didn’t have aninterest in chatting. It was

There’s an old adagethought to have originated inNew England: “If you don’tlike the weather, wait fiveminutes.”

This Saturday inPlainville, if people don’tlike one special event, thereare three others to go to. Forvarious reasons, four majorevents are planned includingthe annual downtown blockparty, firehouse open house,Plainville “FUNd” Day andPequabuck River cleanup.Organizers of the eventshave different opinions onwhy or how the happeningsended up being scheduled forthe same day.

The downtown block party

is a Plainville tradition thatwill be held from 5 to 10 p.m.,primarily on Whiting Street.Sgt. Charles Smedick, of thePlainville Police Depart-ment, serves on the organiza-tion committee with JoMoreno, of Elite Gifts, Mau-reen Saverick, of thePlainville Chamber of Com-merce, and other businessowners. Smedick said hedoesn’t think it matters Sat-urday will be chock-full ofactivities because familiescan participate in all ofthem. If people come downfor the open house at fireheadquarters, located at 77W. Main St., they can stay inthe area to attend the blockparty.

Council business covers much territoryBy Robin Lee MichelThe Plainville Citizen

A new bakery in town ismaking many hungry cus-tomers happy. However, resi-dents who live on GrantStreet near Mozzicato’s Bak-ery, located at 125 NewBritain Ave. (Route 372), arenot enticed by cannolis andcookie trays; they are wor-ried about the cars andtrucks parked on the street,even on lawns and near

driveways, creating a traffichazard.

Relatives of town coun-cilor Phil Cox Jr. told thePlainville Town Councilabout their woes during thecitizens forum portion ofMonday night’s meeting.Phil Cox Sr., father, and Dar-lene Cox, sister, said drivinghas become “a nightmare.”In addition, noise generatedby the freezer at the businessis exceeding the alloweddecibel level of 45 dB at night

and 55 dB during the day.Even when he retreats to thefarthest corner of the house,he is able to hear the annoy-ing sound, Cox Sr. said.

On the 1.4-acre site, Mozzi-cato’s Bakery occupies abouthalf of the 5,000 square footbuilding and plans to leasetwo additional storefronts.“Where will those peoplepark?” Darlene Cox asked.

Residents will get achance to relive one ofAmerica’s favorite pastimesat the Plainville HistoricCenter this month and con-tinuing into October, whenthe Radio Days program de-buts Sept. 22 for its first-everseason.

Surprisingly, all that’s en-tailed with the once-a-weekevent are a set of radiorecordings from decadesago, featuring shows like“The Jack Benny Program,”“The Cisco Kid” and “War ofthe Worlds.”

Far from the television-struck generation of today,Plainville Historical SocietyPresident Nan Eberhardtsaid families centered theirevenings around the radio,listening to all forms of com-edy, action and drama shows.

“It was definitely a familytradition,” Eberhardt said.“During the evenings, it wasthe thing to do.”

During the era known asthe Golden Age of Radio, ra-dio became the most popularform of entertainment be-ginning from the early 1920suntil the 1950s when televi-sion was introduced toAmericans. Statistics com-piled in a 1947 Hooper surveyindicated that at that time, 82out of every 100 Americanswere radio listeners.

Those looking for a touchof nostalgia, as well as first-time listeners curious aboutthe former national pastimecan listen to comedians suchas Bob Hope and experiencethe national treasure knownas the “Lone Ranger,” a west-ern show widely popular inthe 1930s.

Since the venue takesplace in the daytime onWednesdays from 12:30 to 2p.m., Eberhardt said it’s aperfect event for home-schooled children or re-tirees.

Although gatheringaround a radio may be near-ly a foreign concept, with no

visual stimulation, Eber-hardt said radio entertain-ment is oddly captivating.

“When you’re listening tothe radio, you’re actively in-volved because you’re usingyour imagination and pic-turing what happens withthe sound effects,” Eber-hardt said. “I rememberteaching years ago and I puton a record of old radioshows, telling the studentsthey didn’t have to pay atten-tion. Within two minutesinto the record I could tellevery one of them was lis-tening and could tell whatwas going on.”

Participants are encour-aged to bring a bagged lunchwhile enjoying complimen-tary tea and coffee at the his-toric center, 29 Pierce St.

The program will run un-til Oct. 27. The historical so-ciety is also planning its sec-ond annual “Spirit Walk” onSaturday, Oct. 2, giving toursfrom 1 to 4 p.m. of the oldEast Street burial grounds.Entertainers will be dressed

up in historic garb at thesite, explaining the historyof those who lived and areburied in the Great Plain.

For more information onthese and other events, call

the historic center, (860) 747-6577 or visit the websitewww.plainvillehistoricalso-ciety.org .

From Aug. 24 to Aug. 26,the Central Region Emer-gency Response Team — aSWAT team comprised of of-ficers from the Bristol,Plainville and Southingtonpolice departments — partic-ipated in the 2010 SWAT chal-

lenge held in Simsbury. Thechallenge included 39 otherparticipating teams, somefrom Maine, Massachusettsand California.

The challenge is brokeninto seven different eventsthat are designed to place

SWAT team members in sce-narios that include unex-pected obstacles that theymay run into while respond-ing to an emergency call. Thefinal event was a 6.1 milephysical agility event at theWest Hartford reservoir thathad 28 testing stations alongthe course designed to testthe physical and mental for-titude of the participants.

The Central Region ERTcame in second place overallafter competing in this three-day event. Plainville was rep-resented by Sgt. Rich Mar-ques and Officer SteveChase.

Two prominent schoolboard members and commu-nity servants will have thehonor of being the first twonames placed on thePlainville CommunitySchools Memorial Wall ofHonor.

Thomas L. Wazorko andThomas R. Ferguson died in2008 and after their deathsdiscussion began on renam-ing Plainville High School’sAlumni Field to honor one ofthe men. A special PlainvilleTown Council committeemet for several months onthe possible renaming before

the matter was turned overto the Board of Education,which appointed thePlainville CommunitySchools Naming Committee.

The committee subse-quently decided against re-naming the field and insteadconcluded that a memorialwall was a better option tohonor Wazorko and Fergu-son as well as others whilecontinuing to honorPlainville Alumni via thesports field.

At the Sept. 15 meeting atPHS, it was announced thewall will be directly downthe hallway from the Hall ofAthletic Achievements nearPlainville High’s library. Af-

ter Wazorko and Ferguson,more honorees will follow.

Rather than outsourcingplaque construction, thecommittee stressed the im-portance of keepingPlainville High students asinvolved in working on thewall as possible, includingplaque construction. Thecommittee hoped that 20years from now, Plainvillestudents might return to seeand take pride in plaquesthey had helped to fashion.Additionally, the committeehoped that student involve-ment would reduce costs.

The naming committee in-cludes Anthony Goldberg,William Crowley, parent li-

aisons Steve Martino andStacy Norton, PlainvilleHigh teacher Steve Slomski,Superintendent KathleenBinkowski, former PHSprincipal Greg Ziogas andcurrent principal StevenLePage.

Committee members metwith guests David Gagnard,a Plainville Technology De-partment teacher, and one ofhis students, Jon Capp. Thecommittee focused on reduc-ing costs while addressingwhat they expected for thewall’s end product. Gagnarddiscussed tentative placingand size of lettering for theidentification of the memo-rial wall as well as potential

materials to use and the ap-pearance of the individualplaques to be hung up com-memorating wall honorees.

The group also spent timeinspecting the proposed wallsite, looking to the letteringand spacing of the sign an-nouncing the Hall of Athlet-ic Achievements as a basisfor what the memorial wallmight look like.

A tentative follow up wasscheduled for Wednesday,Oct. 6. At that time, Gagnardwill again meet with thecommittee to present theprogress he and his studentshave made with developingthe honoree plaques.

Strikes, balls or walks, it’s for a good causeBy Brian Woodman Jr.Special to The Citizen

Firefighter Mike Schnei-der was a little disappointedwith the results of the soft-ball game between thePlainville Police Departmentand local firefighters onSept. 18.

“We got beat,” he said,with a laugh to let othersknow it was all in good fun,

adding that the firefightersdid win the first game in athree-game tournament.

“It’s good for our depart-ments to get together social-ly, in my opinion,” saidSchneider, who serves withthe Plainville Fire Company.

As most of those in atten-dance were quick to pointout, it was the communitythat came out the winner.

This is the fifth year that

local police and firefightershave met on the softball fieldto raise donations for vari-ous nonprofits. This year’sbeneficiary the PlainvilleCommunity Food Pantry.The pantry, which is locatedat 54 S. Canal St., is a non-profit organization that pro-vides economically strug-

“Think for yourself andlet others do the same” is thetheme of the 2010 BannedBooks Week, Sunday, Sept. 26to Saturday, Oct. 2.

The Plainville Public Li-brary, 56 E. Main St., is dis-playing some of the booksthat have been challenged orbanned in recent years in dif-ferent parts of America.“The display features thebooks and a heavy metalchain to symbolize the clos-ing down of our minds thatis created by censorship.None of the books in the dis-play would be available tothe public if someone hadnot defended them from at-tempted banning,” said Pe-ter Chase, executive directorof the library.

Books on display include

“The Merriam-Webster Col-legiate Dictionary,” “To Killa Mockingbird,” by HarperLee, “The Glass Castle: AMemoir,” by JeannetteWalls, and “I Know Why theCaged Bird Sings,” by MayaAngelou.

Lee said the town will be in-stalling no parking signs infront of Cox’s home andalong the road.

Arthur Screen raised theissue again later during theopen forum asking if the“land use board” allowed awaiver allowing fewer park-ing spaces at the popularbakery business to encour-age commercial develop-ment. “What good is a regu-lation if you’re not going tofollow up?” Screen asked.

Discussion about anotherfood business came up againwhen Craig Pellegrini, own-er of Lewis Street Lunch,proposed paying the town$500 to $1,000 annually topark his food service truckon a town-owned property lo-cated on Woodford Avenue.He hopes to operate his mo-bile lunch business yearround.

Town Attorney RobertMichalik Sr., who said he isnot a Realtor and unsure ofthe fair rental value of theproperty, later suggested thelease could be set at $100 permonth. As stipulated in state

statues, a public hearingmust be held before the coun-cil can finalize a leasearrangement. The hearinghas been set for Monday, Oct.4.

The word “lease” alsoraised discussion when itwas used in connection withthe Robertson Airport man-agement agreement betweenInterstate Aviation and thetown. Luis Gonzalez, chair-man of the Aviation Com-mission, said the board wasunanimous in supportingthe lease.

Screen questioned whywasn’t there a public hear-ing on the lease with Inter-state Aviation if there had tobe a hearing for Lewis StreetLunch. “This is 44 acres.How is it not a lease? Whyare we afraid to have the pub-lic review the lease?”

Michalik said in his opin-ion, a public hearing was notapplicable to the case sug-gesting the term “lease”should be changed to a “fixedbase operating agreement.”

The council later ap-proved the managementagreement.

Additional discussion of-fered “something for every-

one” with topics rangingfrom the Asian LonghornBeetle Program with Dr. Kir-by Stafford of the state De-partment of Agriculture anda report by the BicycleFriendly Community Com-mittee on adopting thePlainville trail — on existingroadways — that will con-nect with the walking andbiking trails in Farmingtonand Southington.

Councilors and the publicunanimously supported thewaiver of the building per-mit fee — estimated at morethan $600 — for a local fami-ly’s home project. The Char-bonneau family will beadding a 320-square-foot ad-dition to their residence toexpand the bedroom and in-stall a handicap-accessiblebathroom for the 9-year-olddaughter who has a degener-ative bone disease.

A good read

By Brian Woodman Jr.Special to The Citizen

Usually only people — andan occasional pet dog — at-tend Plainville’s numerouscommunity events heldthroughout the year. Howev-er, on Saturday, Sept. 25, acow will go to and actually bethe featured guest at thePlainville CommunityFund’s “FunD” Day.

The community fund,which was established fouryears ago to benefit local or-ganizations and charitiessuch as the Plainville Com-munity Food Pantry and BoyScouts, will present theevent at Robertson Airport.Highlights of the event willinclude a “cow chip” rafflewith the winner receiving$2,500. Second place prize is$1,500 and third place is$1,000.

Raffle tickets may be pur-

chased either from membersof the fund or from localbusinesses such as Pagliac-ci’s, Gnazzo’s, the CentralCafe, the Firehouse Grill Barand Grumpy’s.

The field will be dividedinto sections with a corre-sponding paper grid markedwith the ticket numbers. Alive cow will then be broughtin. As the name of the rafflewould imply, bovine defeca-tion will influence the pro-ceedings.

“When nature calls, wewill examine where the cowdrops it,” said Byron Treado,who is co-chairing the eventcommittee with Richard Pi-otrowski. The person whohas the ticket correspondingwith the spot will win topprize followed by those whoare the closest. If the farmanimal manages to “hit” twoor more squares, the manurewill have to be weighed to de-

termine the winner.Although “Bessie Bingo”

— as the game of chance isalso called — is a commonform of entertainment in ru-ral communities, he said, itis rare to see it in a town likePlainville. “To my knowl-edge, it’s never been donehere,” he said.

Dolly Chamberlain, whois president of the fund, con-firmed that its directorshope to raise $15,000 throughthe raffle.

There will also be food,vendors, tours of the airportand other activities. Vendorsinclude the Plainville Cham-ber of Commerce that willoffer a program about Am-ber Alert, Venture Crew willsell hot dogs as a fundraiser,and various community or-ganizations will provide in-formation about theirgroups and upcomingevents. There be 36 partici-

pants offering either dis-plays or selling items.

Town Manager Robert E.Lee helped establish thefund with residents Cham-berlain, Bill Petit, Ken Gnaz-zo, Helen Bergenty, Peg Mat-teo, Jim Welch and RitaDewyea. The Main StreetFoundation, which is a non-profit organization, per-forms daily administrationof the fund.

New board members forthe fund include, Jesse Cav-allaro, Lynn Davis, Treadoand Piotrowski.

The event will be heldfrom 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Therain date is Sept. 26.

Anyone interested in theevent is asked to call eitherTreado at (860) 836-3377 or Pi-otrowski at (860) 543-1249.They can be e-mailed at [email protected] [email protected].

Letters to the EditorSchool athletesdeserve better

To the editor:Plainville has a proud ath-

letic tradition. From youthsports to the high school lev-el, Plainville teams have rep-resented the town well fordecades.

As the father of two for-mer Middle School ofPlainville and PlainvilleHigh School athletes, I neverthought Plainville might geta reputation for being “anti-athlete.” That is until I readthe Sept. 2 edition of The Cit-izen and the articles regard-ing Pay-for-Play (sorry, Pay-to-Participate), and the newdrug and alcohol policy forstudent-athletes at the highschool.

First, school leaders intown, for the second time inthe past few years, haveplaced an additional burdenon student-athletes and theirparents by implementing aPay-to-Play system at thehigh school and middleschool.

I understand the Pay-to-Play fee of $75 per-season,with a $150 cap per-family,will not be a financial bur-den for most. But why haveathletes been brought to thebudget battle front in thefirst place?

I appreciate part of it ispolitical posturing, as athlet-ics is a hot-button issue. Butit sends the wrong messageto our student-athletes. Themessage being: They arepawns in a game.

Let’s assume 500 student-athletes Pay-to-Play thisyear. That’s $37,500 out of abudget of $32,689,795 — or .11percent of the school budget.School leaders could havecome up with the money. Ourtown’s young athletes, whojuggle sports, schoolwork,family obligations, and per-haps even a part-time job, de-serve a better effort fromtheir school leaders.

Now on to the highschool’s drug and alcoholpolicy for athletes, re-writ-ten recently to includeharsher penalties.

I have mixed feelings re-garding a policy that punish-es athletes for somethingthat takes place off schoolgrounds. I believe the ath-letes’ parents — not schoolofficials — should controlconsequences when it comesto their children’s behavior. Ialso assume administratorshave more pressing “inschool” issues to deal with.

Speaking about the drugand alcohol policy, PHS Prin-cipal Steven LePage wasquoted as saying: “I won’tsay I hold (athletes) to a high-er standard …”

That statement is not to-tally accurate, as PHS stu-dents who participate inschool activities other thanathletics are not required tosign the drug and alcoholpolicy. If the administrationbelieves the policy has value,and does not want to holdstudent-athletes to a higherstandard than their peers,why not have all studentsparticipating in school-sanc-tioned activities sign theagreement?

CCititizizeenn

It appears we are teachingour kids that sports are im-portant enough for student-athletes to act as role models,and ambassadors of thetown, but are not importantenough to fund. To me, thatqualifies as a mixed messageto our young student-ath-letes.

In closing, most student-athletes work very hard, aca-demically and athletically,and represent Plainville in apositive manner. I believethey warrant a better effortfrom our school leaderswhen it comes to fundingsports programs. Additional-ly, they deserve to be treatedfairly, and should be provid-ed a clear and consistentmessage from school admin-istrators.

Distracted driverscreating problems

To the editor:As a firefighter for the

town of Plainville for thepast 30 years I have dealtwith numerous incidents onInterstate 84 and the connect-ing highways. Lately howev-er I have begun to see a verydisturbing trend in motoristbehavior on these highways,which simply must stop. Theproblem is the all too famil-iar term of the “distracteddriver”.

Lately it is not uncommonto encountered motoristsblocking the breakdownlanes, thus preventing usfrom being able to reach theaccident scene. It is also notuncommon to see a motoristwatching emergency respon-ders working and almost hit-ting the cars in from of them.Nor for motorists talking oncell phones, driving andwatching emergency person-nel working, and again al-most hitting the cars in frontof them. And the most dis-turbing and completely un-acceptable act of those mo-torist that actually stopwhile passing the incident inorder to take pictures of vic-tims and the carnage.

Operating on highwayshas always been a high-risk

activity in and of itself, how-ever injury and/or death toemergency responders israpidly on the rise due to dis-tracted drivers. The generaldriving public needs to un-derstand that it is not onlythe emergency respondersthat are at risk, but also thevictims and/or their familiesinvolved in an accident onthe highways.

Please remember thatwhen approaching an acci-dent scene it is necessary tokeep breakdown lanes unob-structed and to pay full atten-tion to the situation aroundyou. The victims and/or fam-ily that may be involved, andthe emergency respondersworking the accident scene,just may be your loved ones.

Thank you.Jeffrey L. Johnson

Immigration onthe ballot

To the editor:Immigration is on the bal-

lot again this year in bothour federal and state elec-tions. On the federal level,the Obama Administrationhas renewed its call to grantamnesty to the more than 12million illegal aliens withinour borders. In our state,Connecticut legislators likestate Sen. Thomas Colapi-etro have tried to give illegalaliens in-state tuition to Con-necticut’s colleges and uni-versities. We need to standup against such liberal poli-cies by sending conserva-tives like Sam Caligiuri toWashington and JasonWelch to Hartford.

The president’s reasoningfor amnesty is flawed. Theadministration contendsthat amnesty for illegalaliens would realize addi-tional tax revenue by taxingthese people and the incomethey generate. We know,however, that less than 50percent of Americans actual-ly pay federal income tax andthat the jobs that many ille-gal aliens hold likely placethem in the category that donot pay taxes but receive ben-

Golf tourneyresults

More than 100 golfersraised $48,000 at the CrowleyFord Golf Tournament heldin early September. Since the

tournament was founded,more than $700,000 has beenraised for area organiza-tions.

The Plainville Coalitionfor Positive Youth Develop-ment is launching an under-age drinking preventioncampaign, according toCoalition Co-Chairs RobertaBrown and Lynn Davis. Thecampaign, entitled Set-theRulesCT.org, is presentedby the State of ConnecticutOffice of Policy and Manage-ment. The campaign is cen-tered on the Set-theRulesCT.org Web site,which contains a number ofresources and a variety ofinformation on underagedrinking.

The objectives of the un-derage drinking campaignare to educate parents and

the community about Con-necticut’s Social Host Lawand the impact of alcohol onteenage brain development.In addition to the PlainvilleCoalition for Positive YouthDevelopment’s campaign inPlainville, a number of com-munities in Connecticut arealso supporting the state un-derage drinking preventioncampaign.

Coalition members beganplanning the campaignspecifics this past spring forthe local community, whichbegan with a report card in-sert to middle and highschool parents with informa-tion about the Set-theRulesct.org website as

well as a “Don’t Excuse TeenDrinking” message dis-played on the Plainville HighSchool electronic sign overthe summer months.

The Coalition has a num-ber of additional strategiesand activities planned to pro-mote the campaign over thenext year. These includebookmarks with the cam-paign information that willbe distributed at the publiclibrary and other venues, aswell as a sign that will be dis-played in various locationsthroughout town. Posterswith the campaign slogan“Parents Who Host Lose theMost — It’s Against TheLaw” we be distributed to lo-

cal retailers, including pack-age stores, for display instore windows. In addition,the Coalition will share in-formation about the cam-paign at a number of com-munity events including thePlainville Community FundDay at Robertson Airport onSeptember 25.

In addition to sharing in-formation about the cam-paign Web site, the Coalitionis also planning to sponsor aparent program event on theSocial Host Law and the im-pact of alcohol on teen braindevelopment.

The SettheRulesCt.org un-derage drinking campaign isfunded in part by the Enforc-

ing the Underage DrinkingLaws Program, the Sub-stance Abuse Action Coun-cil, and the Plainville Com-munity Fund.

The Plainville Coalitionfor Positive Youth Develop-ment is comprised of repre-sentatives from organiza-tions throughout thePlainville area. The missionof the Coalition is to pro-mote a community environ-ment that empowers chil-dren to positively shapetheir lives. The Coalition isalso a partner in the nationalCommunity of Concern ini-tiative, centered on sub-stance abuse prevention.

United Way assists almost 118,000people in five communities in 2009

Coalition launches underage drinking prevention campaignThursday, September 23, 2010 — The Plainville Citizen 17

United Way of West Cen-tral Connecticut announcedSept. 14 that the organizationhas helped 117,978 people in2009 through its initiativesand funded programs inPlainville, Bristol, Burling-ton, Plymouth and Ter-ryville.

United Way’s CommunityCampaign kicks off thisweek and they are asking forthe community’s support.“We are asking every mem-ber of the community to giveas generously as they can.We know donors want to seeif their hard-earned moneyis having an impact. Well, it’shard to argue with almost118,000 people helped in justone year,” said Mark Ziogas,local attorney and owner ofZiogas Medical Supplies,who serves as the UnitedWay’s Board chairman.

“When you make the deci-sion to invest in your com-munity, of course you wantto know you are making the

most difference possibleright here where you liveand work,” said Donna Os-uch, president and chief pro-fessional officer of UnitedWay. “That’s where we comein. We are a local organiza-tion, governed by a local vol-unteer Board of Directors,supported by local individu-als and companies. All mon-ey raised here, stays here.”

She said that one of themajor misconceptions aboutUnited Way is that peoplethink they raise money, sendit off to some national organ-ization that makes all the de-cisions, and then they givesome back to them. “It’s justthe opposite — we raise mon-ey here, all of that moneystays here, and local volun-teers make decisions abouthow to best use those funds.”

Osuch pointed to the al-most 118,000 people that wereimpacted last year, citing thework United Way does withmany community partners

to create collaborative, last-ing changes that one organi-zation could not achieve byitself.

With United Way’s focuson education, income andhealth, the work they do af-fects everyone in our com-munity. “Many people thinkthat United Way is just ahandout and that we don’thelp them. They couldn’t bemore wrong. If everyonetook the time to think aboutit and look at our programsand initiatives, they wouldsee that we impact the quali-ty of life for everyone in thiscommunity.”

Osuch said that data andresults from last year arelisted on its Web site. Shealso urged people to give on-line easily by going towww.uwwestcentralct.org.And she reminded everyoneto “give, advocate, volunteerand Live United.”

efits. Moreover, our countrycurrently has more than 15million unemployed citizens.The better way to tax the rev-enue from the jobs held by il-legal aliens is to give thosejobs to unemployed Ameri-cans. True many of these arenot the most desirable jobs,but I know people today thatwould take any work theycould get.

Rewarding illegal behav-ior only encourages more ofthe same. The United Statestried amnesty in 1986. Then,we made citizens of some 2.6million illegal aliens. Notsurprisingly after the 1986amnesty, illegal immigrationincreased to where 700,000 to800,000 enter our countryeach year, which has resultedin the 12 million illegalaliens in our country today.Thus, since 1986 millionshave come to the UnitedStates with the expectationthat amnesty could one daybe available to them. Granti-

ng amnesty again would onlyexacerbate the issue in thefuture.

Just like President Oba-ma, our state senator, 18-yearincumbent, Thomas Colapi-etro, supports laws in Con-necticut akin to grantingamnesty for illegal aliens. Hevoted to give illegal aliens in-state tuition at Connecticutstate colleges and universi-ties when he voted in 2007 topass HB 5656. Thankfully,Gov. Rell vetoed this bill. Wemust reject the concept of re-warding illegal behavior andthus reject amnesty, and in-state tuition, for illegalaliens.

Make no mistake, the val-ues and work-ethic of legalimmigrants have made thiscountry great. Grantingamnesty to illegal immi-grants, however, is differentand indeed an affront to allthat come here legally.

Strong start for boys soccerBy Nick Carroll


One week. Two victories.Zero goals allowed.

No wonder PlainvilleHigh School boys soccercoach Tim Brown is a happyguy.

“I’m very, very pleased,”said Brown, whose teamheaded into this week unde-feated at 2-0. “We’re goingstrong, flying high.”

The Blue Devils toppedRocky Hill, 3-0, in their sea-son-opener, and went on tobest Bristol Central, 2-0.

Heading into thosematchups, some media re-ports pegged Plainville asthe underdog. “The boysread this stuff,” said Brown.“They use that as motiva-tion.”

Against Rocky Hill,Daquan King, Allen Mehme-dovic and Shane Puglieseeach tallied a goal. King, An-drew Rottier and AdmirKandic dished out assists.

The locals pulled awayfrom Rocky Hill after thebreak. “We wore themdown,” said Brown.

The fourth-year coachpraised his team’s defensiveeffort against Rocky Hill.“Defensively, we were ex-tremely strong, extremelyunforgiving,” he said.

Fullback Mike Christy an-chored the shutout defense.“He had the game of his

life,” said Brown. “He wasjust a real, real monster outthere.”

Energy-wise, the BlueDevils had a bit of a let-downagainst Bristol Central, butstill did more than enough towin. “We were a little slug-gish, slower-footed. But I toldthe boys ‘good teams find away to win’”, said Brown.“We were a superior side,and we proved that.”

Keeper Kevin Ciottonotched his second straightshutout.

Rottier and King scoredagainst Bristol Central.Mehmedovic assisted onboth goals.

“I’m very impressed,”Brown said of Mehmedovic’searly-season play. “He’s ex-

traordinarily good with theball at his feet. He hastremendous distributionability, and knows whenruns should be made.”

The Blue Devils are look-ing to qualify for the statetournament for the thirdyear in a row.

Prior to 2008, the PHS boyssoccer program had missedout on the postseason everyyear since 1997.

With things looking up,the community has ralliedaround the Blue Devils.Brown said the fan supportthis past week was “remark-able.”

“We love it. We enjoy it,”he said. “And we’re very ap-preciative of it.”

Spikers come up empty in Week 1By Nick Carroll


Week 1 resulted in a pairof losses for the PlainvilleHigh School volleyball team,but along the way, the LadyBlue Devils demonstratedtheir tenacity.

After dropping a 3-1 deci-sion to Bristol Central in itsseason-opener, Plainvillecame back from a two-gamehole to force a fifth framewith its old foe Berlin.

The Lady Blue Devils’ gut-sy performance againstBerlin garnered praise from

spectators. “After the Berlingame, a couple of Berlin fansmade it a point to stop by andtell me how well our girls did— spirit and energy andplay,” PHS coach SteveCompson said.

Berlin coach Bob Tarigo,who is closing in on his 400thcareer victory, was im-pressed with the Lady BlueDevils as well. “Plainvillehas a very good team,” Tari-go said. “They have somegood hitters, a good setter.”

Tarigo spoke withPlainville players after thematch, and was very compli-

mentary.“Very classy coach, and a

coaching legend,” Compsonsaid of Tarigo. “When hesays you played a good game,you know you played a goodgame.”

The Lady Blue Devils lostto Bristol Central: 25-22, 18-25, 25-17, 25-16, and to Berlin:25-13, 25-14, 25-21, 25-21, 15-12.

Plainville struggled withinconsistency in the losses,including from the serviceline. “We have some goodservers that were trying toace every time,” Compsonsaid. “That formula has a

built-in failure rate that wecan’t have.”

Devils hang toughBy Jim Bransfield

Special to The Citizen

The Plainville Blue Devilsdidn’t win,but they didthe next bestthing.

“The kidsp l a y e dtough,” saidrookie coach Chris Farrell af-ter his club lost a tough 29-18decision to Maloney of Meri-den in its season-opener lastweekend. “They played hardfor all four quarters. We lost atouchdown on an offensivepass interference call and wemissed another when we lost afumble deep in their territory.It was a tough one to swallow,but I’m so proud of the kids’effort.”

Farrell has more kids ofwhom to be proud, too.

He said that he is carrying43 players on his varsity teamand when the freshmen arecounted, there are 67 in theprogram.

“That is a big time increasein our numbers,” said Farrell.“We have a lot of kids who areinvested in the program; whoare trying to put pride back inthe Plainville High Schoolfootball program. I’m espe-cially proud of my coregroups of seniors.”

Farrell singled out his sen-ior captains, two-way line-men, Kevin Spence and LeonStefanski. “They work hard

every day,” said the coach.“They push their teammatesevery day trying to makeeveryone better.”

Farrell also said that sen-iors Rob Voisine (runningback/linebacker) and RossZettergren (receiver/full-back/linebacker) were keyplayers, along with his juniorcaptains Chris Kuzia (full-back/defensive end) and TonyLopizzo (quarterback/line-backer).

Voisine rushed for 109yards and two touchdownsagainst Maloney. TeammateDan Bates had Plainville’s oth-er TD.

Farrell conceded that build-ing confidence and gettingkids to win when they haven’tbeen winning is a task.

“Our program has lackedconfidence,” he said. “But Isaw some of that confidenceFriday night. Yeah, we shotourselves in the foot and thebounces didn’t go our way. Butwe’re building toward havingthe bounces go our way, andthat will get us wins, which inturn, will help our confidence.But it is a chore to build thosethings when they haven’t beenthere.

“But our goal is to get betterevery day, and the kids havebought into what we’re doing,which is to build the PlainvilleHigh football program.”

Blue Devil NotesPlainville High School

cross country coach ShaunBerard said his boys’ teamhad focused on its season-opener with Berlin and Plattsince back in June, and thelocals trained all summer toget ready for it.

Their hard work paid off.Last week, the Blue Devils

ran past Platt and hostBerlin at Sage Park to starttheir 2010 campaign in style.

Mike Rottier pacedPlainville and finished sec-ond overall at Sage Park. Fol-lowing Rottier were team-mates Jeff Fargo, AndrewDaniels, Nick Giuliani,Bryan Salazar and Joe Al-lario.

Coach Berard said Daniels“ran beyond expectations.”Since March, Daniels hasbeen slowed by a knee injury,but looked strong againstPlatt and Berlin.

The PHS girls team ran atSage Park as well that after-noon. The Lady Blue Devils,who have not competed as ateam the past three seasonsdue to low numbers, fell toboth Platt and Berlin.

Berard liked the workturned in by IsabellaD’Onofrio, a first-year crosscountry runner. “She startedoff slow, and passed manyrunners in the second half ofthe race,” said Berard.

The Plainville HighSchool girls soccer teamheaded into this week with amark of 0-1-1. After falling toRocky Hill, 2-1, in their sea-son-opener, the Lady BlueDevils battled Bristol Cen-tral to a 2-2 tie.

Plainville’s Jill Newtonnetted two goals during theopening week. Megan Dixonaccounted for the locals’ oth-er score.

The Plainville HighSchool girls swim team wasminus five athletes and hadjust 13 girls in the pool for itsseason-opener with SacredHeart. Still, the Lady BlueDevils managed to prevail,98-76.

“I was a little surprised,”PHS coach Randy Doucettesaid of his short-handedteam’s performance that day.

“The kids did extremelywell. They swam with timesalmost equal to some of lastyear’s best times.”

With their roster decimat-ed, against Sacred Heart,several Lady Blue Devilswere called upon to competein four events, a grueling en-deavor. “We had a prettytough time of it,” saidDoucette.

Doucette also was pleasedwith the work turned in byMegan Farmer, Morgan La-combe, Nicole Rogan, andothers.

“I think every girl thatswam did really well,” theveteran coach said.

Devils last week. “She is set-ting high standards for her-self and her teammates,”Compson said. “Against BC,she had an amazing doubledive dig to keep the ball inplay — one of those plays thateverybody in the gym ad-mires. Even the Bristol fansappreciated the hustle.”

Plainville’s Jenna Flo-rance has been effectivearound the net. “She makes agood approach, and can findthe open spot on the floor,”said Compson. “She is a verylow key young lady, but herplay helped to energize theteam.”

He’s intent on keeping aclose eye the public’s percep-tion of the police depart-ment, improving it wherevernecessary. “I’m trying to setthe tone, we’re here to help,”Catania said.

“Yeah, we arrest people,we do that job when neces-sary. However most of thetime it’s constructive, help-ful efforts. Our mission is tofind the best in every situa-tion and the people, and workwith that. If the public’s per-ception is anything contrary,I want to know,” Cataniasaid.

“I hope the communitywill be rewarded with im-proved service and commit-ment to quality policing un-der my leadership and direc-tion.”
