Longtime barber snips final haircut

Politicalslates areready forcampaign

By Ken DiMauroThe Plainville Citizen

Reflecting on a 47-year career of being a lo-cal barber, George Mills, owner of the EastEnd Barbershop, located at 14 Linden St.,said he couldn’t guess on how many haircutshe’s given.

However, Mills, 67, a second-generationbarber whose father, Stanley Mills, now de-ceased, established the shop in 1939, has seenmany changes.

He remembers when the General Electricplant nearby on Woodford Avenue had morethan 2,800 employees and the Marlin Rock-well plant was located nearby, too. Today, GEhas about 400 employees here and the MarlinRockwell manufacturing complex has shutdown and become the home of several recre-ational businesses and a banquet hall-restau-rant.

His last day cutting hair for men was July

The Plainville Citizen

Plainville resident JohnKisluk, who is seeking to runas a petitioning candidate forTown Council in the Nov. 3election, submitted his pa-perwork July 30, includingsignatures of local registeredvoters, to the Town Clerk’sOffice at the Plainville Mu-nicipal Center.

Kisluk said he and othercitizens obtained the neces-

council, indicated she would-n’t be running again. Hurleyis the only Republican al-ready on the council who isrunning again.

Toffey is chairwoman ofthe Republican Party and ranfor council in 2007. Saundersalso was a candidate forcouncil that year. In 2008,Saunders ran against Eliza-beth A. “Betty” Boukus forthe 22nd District Assemblyseat. Joining them as Repub-lican candidates are RobertAnderson, who ran for coun-cil in 2007 and Philip Cox.

Democrats endorsed forcouncil, incumbents Christo-pher Wazorko, Lynn Szach,Jason Rupaka and RobertCiotto, who are joining Car-

olyn Cronkhite, a local attor-ney, as the Dem candidates.Councilman Kirby Deeganhas decided not to run for athird council term, insteadrunning as a candidate forschool board.

At the GOP meeting, resi-dents Stanley Graff, JosephPassaretti and Myles Buck-ley were selected as the Re-publican candidates forschool board.

They are going against theDemocratic candidates forBoard of Education, includ-ing Becky Tyrrell, currentlythe board’s chairwoman;Cheryl Provost, a formermember of the DowntownBeautification Commissionwho was tapped to fill theterm of Arthur Hoerle; andDeegan, who decided not torun for council. Leaving theschool board will be TabithaWazorko Manafort, who waschosen to fill the term of her

father, Thomas Wazorko, whodied March 25 after servingmany years on the board.

Republicans chose as can-didates for constables areGail Pugliese, Ezio Capozzi,Joanne Edman and JoelBoutwell.

They will go against De-mocrats Tony Tarascio,Richard Ireland Jr., John Pa-ter and Quinn WazorkoChristopher for the constableposts. Ireland is treasurer ofthe Democratic Party andchairman of the Recyclingand Solid Waste Commission.Christopher is the sister ofDemocrat Party leader andCouncilman Wazorko andTabitha Wazorko Manafort,who is leaving the schoolboard.

Julia Underwood was se-lected as the Republican can-didate for Library Board ofTrustees. She will go againstDemocrat Patricia Fongemie,for a seat on the libraryboard.

Steeves said members ofthe 1st Independent Party de-cided not to put up a chal-lenge slate because both theDems and Republicans havesome new candidates.

The party has run severalcandidates in the last few mu-nicipal elections. JohannaPetit Chapman, a former Re-publican, was elected to thecouncil, and her mother, Bar-bara Triano Petit, is on the li-brary board.

Steeves said his party hasdecided to sit out the upcom-ing municipal election, butwill stay updated on issuesthat affect Plainville. He saidthe party will be meetingagain soon to decide what todo for future elections.

sary signatures that wouldput his name on the ballot.Joined by supporter and fel-low candidate Joanne Ed-man, Kisluk handed in 165signatures, more than the 33signatures state and local of-ficials said must be submit-ted.

The names of those whowould like to see Kisluk runwill be checked out by theregistrars of voters and thepaperwork will be sent to Sec-retary of the State Susan

Bysiewicz. Kisluk said hewas helped in gathering thesignatures by Edman, Mari-lyn Shorette, Shirley Cava-liere, Marie Cassidy andThomas Arcari Sr. He had un-til Aug. 5 to present the signa-tures and file the paperwork.

A self-described “politicalwatchdog” and a residentwho remains critical of towngovernment, Kisluk remainsinterested in advancing therights of local taxpayers whowant to shine a light on what

is going on behind the scenes.He wears many hats in

Plainville. Kisluk is presi-dent of the Citizens and Prop-erty Owners Association ofPlainville. Although he willbe running as a petitioningcandidate, he remains a Re-publican and supports manyGOP candidates, includingEdman, who is running forconstable.

Kisluk also is a member ofthe permanent building com-mittee. He will continue tospeak out at Town Councilmeetings and other forums.As an individual candidatewith a limited budget, he saidhe realizes he has an uphillbattle, but feels like a winnerbecause he will be a candi-date. He said he probablyspend around $200 for his up-

coming campaign.Kisluk, 61, a retired

plumber and pipe-fitter, saidhe considers it his duty tokeep officials on their toes.To that end, he will continueattending major board meet-ings and writing letters to theeditor.

He estimates the cam-paign, which he described as“a grass roots effort,” will be-gin earnestly after Labor Day.

Comcast awards scholarships Photo courtesy of Comcast

Thirty-nine Connecticut stu-dents, including PlainvilleHigh School graduate WhitleyDozier, received Leaders andAchievers Scholarships at aceremony held at the StateCapitol. From left to right are,Joseph Waz, of the ComcastFoundation, Tony Dozier, herfather, Whitley Dozier, WandaWard, her mother, and DougGuthrie and Michael Parker,both of Comcast.

Whitley Dozier, PlainvilleHigh School Class of 2009,was one of 39 Connecticuthigh school seniors who re-ceived $1,000 scholarshipsfrom the Comcast Founda-tion. The Comcast “Leadersand Achievers” ScholarshipProgram, one of the ComcastFoundation’s signature com-munity investment pro-grams, recognizes studentswho have demonstrated lead-ership skills, academicachievement and a commit-ment to community service.

“As the cost of college con-tinues to rise, Comcast isproud to present these youngpeople with the Comcast“Leaders and Achievers”Scholarship in recognition oftheir hard work, leadershipand commitment to their

communities,” said MichaelParker, Comcast’s vice presi-dent of Connecticut. “Whit-ley truly embodies Comcast’sbelief in giving back to thecommunities where our em-ployees and our customerslive and work. She deservesour recognition and supportfor her tremendous work thatshe is doing.”

A commitment to commu-nity service is an essentialcomponent in the selection ofComcast Leaders and Achiev-ers Scholarship recipients.

This year’s honorees are cat-alysts for positive change intheir communities andschools, participating in awide variety of communityservice activities, such ashelping to revitalize commu-nities, mentoring and coach-ing younger students, volun-teering at hospitals and par-ticipating in local blood, foodand clothing drives andfundraising walks.

Dozier will attend ElonUniversity in Elon, N.C., inthe fall to study education.

Residency policystrictly enforced

As the 2009-10 school yearapproaches, Plainville Com-munity Schools remainssteadfast in its commitmentto aggressively enforce thedistrict’s residency policy.The policy, created in 1989and updated in 2004, providesspecific guidelines and proce-dures regarding the accept-ance of students into theschool district. The residencypolicy ensures that educa-tional services are providedsolely to Plainville studentsand those who have beengranted permission to attendschool in the district in accor-dance with the conditions de-fined in the policy regula-tions. Through enforcementof the policy, Plainville Com-munity Schools maximizesthe extension of educationalresources to Plainville resi-dents and minimizes the im-pact of additional non-resi-dent students on the schoolsystem.

According to the policy,any parent or legal guardianwishing to enroll a child inthe Plainville public schoolsystem must submit proof ofresidency within the town ofPlainville. In the case of aschool aged child who is re-siding with a relative inPlainville other than a parentor guardian, all parties arerequired to sign a sworn affi-davit attesting to the fact thatthe child’s residency inPlainville is intended to bepermanent. If evidence ofresidency is not deemed suffi-

cient, steps will be taken toexclude the student from con-tinued attendance. The poli-cy also outlines scenarios inwhich non- resident studentsmay be allowed to attendPlainville schools without tu-ition.

Non-resident students whodo not meet the residency re-quirement or exception crite-ria may attend Plainvilleschools with authorization ofthe Superintendent, paymentof tuition, and adherence to anumber of conditions, in-cluding parental responsibil-ity for student transporta-tion. Under this provision,the Plainville Board of Edu-cation is not responsible forspecial education and relatedcosts while the student is en-rolled in Plainville schools,and non-resident tuition stu-dents are expected to adhereto school rules of conduct.The tuition rate for non-resi-dents is set annually by thePlainville Board of Educa-tion. The rate for the 2009 to2010 school year is $11,244 forgrades 1 to 12, and $3,906 forkindergarten. The rate fornon-resident special educa-tion students is calculated onan individual basis, based onactual services provided.

Board Of Educationoutlines budget cuts

On April 28, the town budget was passed at referendum.The town budget included a Board of Education budgetamount of $32,446,447 – or a 0.54 percent increase compared tothe current year. This final budget reduced the BOE’s 2009 to10 approved budget of $33,482,988 by $1,036,541. The BOE meton June 1 to discuss options for reducing the $1,036,541amount from the original budget set by the board earlier inthe year, and ultimately approved the final budget plan at theregularly scheduled BOE meeting on June 8.

A number of employee groups agreed to wage and benefitconcessions in an attempt to reduce the impact on education-al resources. The administrators agreed to a five-day fur-lough, elimination of their tax-sheltered annuity paymentsfor one year and a health-savings account benefit option. Thecustodial union and other non-bargaining employees agreedto a wage freeze. The superintendent and other non-bargain-ing administrators did not seek a salary increase. As a resultof these concessions, the district saved $135,000, however anumber of additional reductions from the current level ofservices were made to meet the fiscal year 2010 budget appro-priation. Under the plan, 11 full-time equivalent teaching po-sitions will be eliminated (three through retirement), onemaintenance position will be eliminated through retirement,one-half of two full-time equivalent office professional posi-tions will be eliminated, as well as an in school suspensionparaprofessional and one monitor at the high school.

Programmatically, Reading Recovery training and theBushnell Program have been cut. In addition, both fall cheer-leading and indoor track at the high school have been elimi-nated, as well as intramurals at both the middle school andhigh school. Also, the district will no longer continue offeringlate bus service. Finally, a number of school supply accounts,facilities items and professional development and travelfunding have been eliminated from the budget.

[email protected] tips for new on-the-go moms Between naps, feedings

and diaper changes — newmoms rarely have a momentfree. Pulling it all togetherdoesn’t have to be over-whelming. Making some sim-ple changes in your daily rou-tine can mean extra time forenjoying your new baby.

Get organized: The easiestway to stay on track withmanaging household choresand outside activities is tomake a schedule. Buy a large

wall calendar to organizeyour family’s play dates,practices, weekly errandsand social events so everyonehas a clear picture of whatthe week holds. Color code ac-tivities by family member.

Go digital: Cutting andpasting your baby photos intoan album is a thing of thepast. Not only is this time-consuming but it’s also costly.Why not create your babybook online instead of doing

it all yourself ?Streamline sleepy time:

Sleep is an all-too-preciouscommodity for new parents.Set a bedtime routine thatlulls baby to sleep faster, soyou can share a few preciousminutes unwinding withyour partner or a cup of tea.

Get healthy: Get out of thehouse for an hour or two andstart getting back into shape.

Doctor receives award for cancer studyAn unprecedented, award-

winning study led by a Hospi-tal of Central Connecticut ra-diologist shows measurablevalue of a gamma imagingtest over ultrasound in de-tecting breast cancer as a fol-low-up to a mammogram.

Earlier this year, HCC radi-ologist Jean Weigert, re-ceived the 2009 Breast Jour-nal Abstract Award at theAmerican Society of BreastDisease 33rd Annual Sympo-sium for her abstract,“Breast-Specific GammaImaging Compared to BreastUltrasound in Patients withMammographic Abnormali-ties Requiring DiagnosticEvaluation.”

“I was delighted to get theaward and very surprised,”says Weigert. “It’s one more

example ofwhy BSGI issuch a goodtool in thework-up ofthe problem-atic breast.”

The studyused data ac-c u m u l a t e dfrom 2005-07, including datagathered at the hospital’sBradley Memorial campus.The study found that com-pared to ultrasound imaging,BSGI provides more sensitiv-ity in the ability to locate anabnormality and is more spe-cific in findings for breastcancer and other abnormali-ties, Weigert said. Data com-pared results of 70 patientswho had both BSGI and ultra-sound tests. The tests, which

also included biopsy, wereconducted based on mammo-gram results.

This was the first studycomparing breast ultrasoundto BSGI results for cancer di-agnosis.

BSGI can distinguish non-cancerous or benign tissuefrom cancer and locate le-sions as small as two to threemillimeters. Among womenwho would benefit from BSGItests, Weigert says, are thosewith dense breasts, morecommon in premenopausalwomen. “A BSGI study I pre-viously presented to the Soci-ety in 2007 found that if theBSGI test is negative, there’sonly a 2 percent chance thatanything in the breast is can-cer,” Weigert said.

The non-invasive test issimilar to a mammogram butuses less compression. Be-fore imaging, patients re-ceived an intravenous radio-tracer dye. The dye reveals asa bright spot during the test ifcancer is present.

Weigert’s study was one ofthree to receive an award atthe symposium in Chicago.She plans to conduct a follow-up study will write an articlebased on initial findings for“The Breast Journal.”

For breast cancer patients,HCC now offers a breast can-cer program aimed at help-ing patients get streamlined,fast-tracked care backed byclinical expertise and sup-port. The program includesNurse Navigator DonnaBoehm, who helps patientsnavigate the healthcare sys-tem from diagnosis throughtreatment. For more informa-tion, contact Boehm at (860)224-5900, ext. 6307.

Letters to the EditorGrandbois critical of localRepublicansTo the editor:

Just a few weeks ago with-out much fanfare thePlainville Republican TownCommittee put together theirslate of candidates for theNovember elections. Onewould ask, “Who cares?”Summer is finally here andlet’s worry about the fall inthe fall. I got my tax bill and Iam paying $1 a month more. Ishould be doing cartwheelsbut I know this year’s budgetis just a house of cards, puttogether by politicians to getre-elected. I am proud of thepolice and teachers seeingthrough the smoke and mir-rors. Mr. Robert E. Lee, townmanager, and Dr. KathleenBinkowski, superintendentof schools, took their raisesin October and told every-body to freeze putting a gunto their heads threatening topull the trigger and lay offpersonnel.

The upcoming budget com-ing up right after the electionis going to come down to com-pletely destroying the infra-structure of the town orkeeping services and qualityeducation on a large tax in-crease. We need leadershipnow more than ever. We needthe reins to be pulled on Mr.Lee. How long can he keepmoving money around beforehe runs out, including wait-ing for stimulus moneyrather than having sound fis-cal policies. What happenedto the Plainville conserva-tives? What happened to ourfreedom of speech at townhall meetings? The largestturnout for a referendum indecades was for the purchaseof the airport and funded by

outsiders. Why have we notbought the airport yet? Ourlittle town is rapidly turninginto a private little club withjust a few families pulling thestrings.

A candidate came forwardafter learning that no one onthe Republican Town Com-mittee could find candidatesfor the Board of Educationpositions; a candidate thathas spent years as a tutor atthe high school; a candidatewho volunteers to read tochildren at Wheeler and Tof-folon schools, and a dedicat-ed candidate who keeps sta-tistics for all the high schoolfootball games and girls soft-ball games and a candidatethat has many years doingtown budgets and knows theins and outs of a budget. Thenight of the meeting, threeunknowns come out of thewoodwork, handpicked bythe bosses. The deservingcandidate loses and it waslike he was never there. Whathappened? He could notpledge his allegiance to He-len Bergenty and the bosses— the Puglieses. Tom ArcariSr. was tossed away likegarbage. Someone askedwhat the vote count was forthe nominees. He was told tomind his own business as thebosses ruled that no oneneeds to know what the votewas. We are in power andTom is out, so go away or wewill destroy you with rumorslike we have others in thepast.

I am ashamed that I wasonce part of that group thatis now full fledged RINOS —Republican In Name Only.

The referendum issue forrefinancing the town’s bond-ing debt for the PlainvilleCommons was very simple -“Should the Town be author-ized to refinance at a lowerinterest rate (from the cur-rent 7.125 percent to about 4percent) to save the town’staxpayers over $700,000 viareduced interest payments?”It was not substantially morecomplex than Mr. JohnKisluk refinancing his ownhome.

Any candidate for munici-pal office owes the voters anexplanation as to why he/shesupported or opposed anypublic issue, especially is-sues directly impacting tax-payers. Since $744,000 in re-duced interest payments doesimpact taxpayers, I feel it isfair to have asked Mr. Kislukto give the voters his finan-cial rationale for opposingthe refinancing.

Clearly, Mr. Kisluk’s July30 letter fails to provide anyreason for his opposition tosaving the taxpayers $744,000.Instead, he must get informa-tion from a financiallyknowledgeable attorney. I be-lieve Mr. Kisluk never under-stood the referendum ques-tion, never bothered to getthe information to under-stand the question but was,nevertheless, adamant in hisopposition to the question.

Mr. Kisluk “understands”that the bond refinancing hasnot yet been transacted and“thinks” the town did not re-duce the term of the bonding.

The simple facts, availablevia public record, are that thebond refinancing was effec-tive over two years ago, May25, 2007, at interest ratesranging from 3.65 to 4.0 per-cent with a reduction in theterm of the bonding obliga-tion with net savings to thetown in excess of $744,000.

On the proposed change tofire and safety inspectionfees, either Mr. Kisluk fails tounderstand my explanationor simply chooses to distortit. To clarify for him, onemore time, to date no busi-ness, resident or EconomicDevelopment Agency mem-ber had expressed any opin-ion on the proposed feechanges. Consequently, anyopinion I may voice to theTown Council would be sole-ly that of a private citizen. Inthe instance cited by Mr.Kisluk, the Economic Devel-opment Agency was asked foran opinion on the parking lotand gave it on an official ba-sis.

Unlike Mr. Kisluk, I willnot use personal insults be-cause such behavior addsnothing to the issue.

Dumais out of line in Kisluk criticismTo the editor:

I read with great interest arecent letter from Mr. Val Du-mais accusing Mr. JohnKisluk of maligning his char-acter. I feel I must respond toMr. Dumais’ letter as he es-

tablished his character in myopinion years ago when hehad me thrown off thePlainville Democratic TownCommittee for speaking outagainst the Democrats.

I was always under the im-pression that the Freedom ofChoice, Freedom of Speech,etc. gave this right to allAmericans regardless oftheir party affiliations, etc.Mr. Dumais, if in fact you area veteran of the ArmedForces of the United States,your head should still behanging in shame for youractions of years ago. Even ifyou were not in your positionin the town commission, itgave you no right to act in themanner you did bypassing aPlainville registered Democ-rat of his freedoms and liber-ties. You have a great deal ofgall to accuse anyone of ma-ligning your character in anyway shape or form as your ac-tions and words do this foryourself.

Although I expect a greatdeal of harsh criticism fromyou, your family and co-horts, your action of severalyears ago speak for them-selves and cannot be defend-ed by anyone who believes inthe Democratic process, TheBill of Rights and The U.S.Constitution. It was your ac-tions, supported by yourfriends on the town commit-tee, that soured my tasteagainst Plainville Democratsand in spite of your actions Irefuse to change my party af-filiation as I believePlainville voters shouldknow that there is a Democ-rat who is totally against thesystem the Democrats haveformed in Plainville. Spend-

ing is so far out of controlsince the Democrats took of-fice again and to top it offthey have the audacity toeven consider a “blight ordi-nance” when one of thebiggest blights and hazardsin this town is their down-town beautification project,which is nothing more that aseries of major accidentswaiting to happen. I speak asan experienced accident in-vestigator, with years of ex-perience with the NewBritain Police Department,which is a much larger mu-nicipality than ours. When Iinquired of our present townmanager as to whether or notany police officers, or acci-dent investigators, were onthe Downtown Beautifica-tion Committee, I was toldthere were none. I wouldthink this would be a must ifthe committee’s prime con-cern was safety of Plainvilledrivers and pedestrians, butapparently not. One of thegreatest hazards is the newdriveway exiting from townhall, where turns are not re-stricted even though oncom-

ing traffic has a “right onred” capability. Additionallythe taxpayers have becomesaddled with a “municipalairport” that brings nothinginto the town as all moniesearned are placed in an FFAfund for future improve-ments. When the Democratstold us that they would re-ceive $77,000 or more inrental fees, they failed to tackon this dainty little tidbit.

In expecting to receivemuch controversial responseto this letter, I feel I haveamassed sufficient informa-tion to support what I feelfree to exercise which is myright to my opinion and myright to free speech and freechoice. It is for this reasonthat this registered Democ-rat is supporting the electionof an entire new slate ofTown Council members andappointees they see fit to re-place.

Town Council cancelsthe Aug. 17 meeting


The Town Council, citing a slower summertime agenda,voted Monday to cancel its Aug. 17 meeting, the second timeduring the summer a meeting will be canceled.

Council Chairman Christopher Wazorko said board tradi-tionally cancels or postpones meetings in July or August. TheJuly 7 meeting was canceled because of possible vacation con-flicts. At least three members of the council have indicatedthey will be away or busy Aug. 17.

Wazorko said it was probably easier to cancel the meetingand move the agenda items to the next scheduled meeting,which will be held Sept. 8 because of Labor Day.

During July and August, several town boards do not meet.The Board of Education doesn’t hold meetings during thosemonths and will pick up Sept. 14 where it left off. The Conser-vation Commission also goes on a summer hiatus and has de-cided to resume meetings Sept. 10.

Officials said canceling various summer meetings hasn’tposed a problem for Plainville, especially since more meetingswere held during March, April and May because of the townbudget process.

The council regularly meets on the first and third Mondayof each month at the Municipal Center, 1 Central Square.

Saving money while shoppingWith the back-to-school

season around the corner,saving money is a top priori-ty in the minds of many par-ents.

Here are some tips to makesure you check everything offyour child’s school supplylist, and keep some moneywhere it belongs — in yourpocket:

By taking careful invento-ry of what your child alreadyhas and can reuse, you poten-tially can put a check marknext to one or two items onthe supply list.

Online shopping is grow-ing in popularity — it savestime and gas money, plus youdon’t have to take your kids

to the store with you. Somesites offer coupons and dis-count codes for more than1,100 online stores, and inspecific offerings you canalso get a check back in themail for a percentage of yourpurchases.

For local stores, check thefliers and compare every-

thing. By combiningcoupons, discounts and saleprices, you can get some pret-ty good deals.

Many states offer tax-freeholidays. If your state doesn’toffer a tax holiday, make sureyou get the most out of avail-able rebates and sales.

The Plainville Junior Lit-tle League All-Stars’ seasoncame to a disappointing endlast week with an 8-2 loss toNorth End-Bridgeport.

With thewin, NorthEnd stayed inthe hunt forthe state title.Plainville, thedefending statechampion, fin-

ished third this time around,and along the way, claimedthe District 5 championship.

“In order to beat Bridge-port you have to play perfectbaseball. They are a verygood team and you can’t takeanything away from them.That being said, we didn’tplay our best baseball today;we gave them extra outs, and

they capitalized. We had op-portunities to put runs onthe board, but we didn’t getthe job done. When we areplaying our best baseball, Iwill put us up against anyteam in the state,” Plainvillemanager Tim DeJohn said.

“This year, we had basical-ly a brand new team fromlast year’s team that won thestate championship. Theyhad a lot of expectations af-ter last year, and they prettymuch lived up to those expec-tations. To make it as far asthey did is a great accom-plishment and somethingthey should be proud of.

“I have enjoyed workingwith them and appreciatetheir efforts this season, andlook forward to watchingthem play in the future.”

North End took a 2-0 lead

Locals already gettingin shape for hoop season

By Nick CarrollThe Plainville Citizen

Sure, Plainville is a “base-ball town”, but there a quitea few basketball players inthe mix, as well.

Local hoop players of vari-ous abilities have beenpounding the hardwood thissummer. The Blue Devil Bas-ketball Clinic for girls andboys in grades 3 through 9,held last month, drew 30players, the Plainville HighSchool boys basketball team,competing in a summerleague, has a 13-man roster,and last week, the Parks andRecreation Department helda clinic for boys and girls ingrades 3 through 7 — 16 play-ers attended. Also, outdoorcourts in town have seen alot of action this summer.

All those things are posi-tive signs for the future ofPlainville Basketball.

PHS boys hoop coachMarc Wesoly believes histeam can be a contender atthe state level if interest inbasketball continues to growin town. “It’s definitely mov-ing forward — slowly,”Wesoly said of his program.“But we are moving. Andthat’s how you win in thelong run.”

Wesoly is confident thatPHS boys basketball can ex-cel. He has already seen asimilar story unfold at thehigh school.

Former PHS girls basket-ball coach Lisa Mandevilleled her team from the dol-drums to a state champi-onship and three conferencetitles during her 14-yeartenure, which ended in 2008.“She was in my shoes whenshe first started,” Wesolysaid.

Plainville cut North End’slead in half in the fourth. Bri-an Dostaler reached basewith a one-out walk andmoved to second on a fielder’schoice. Alex Greenfield thendrove in Dostaler to make it 4-1. Greenfield moved to sec-

Not wanting the youngplayers to do too much, toosoon, Gagliardi had the Coltsfocus on conditioning andtechnique. “We’re trying tohelp them get in shape, andjump-start them a little bit,”he said.

Ten stations were set upacross the Norton Park prac-tice grounds. Colts playersspent five minutes at a sta-

tion before hustling off to thenext. “We try to incorporateall the different positions …In between positions drills,we do a lot of speed and agili-ty stuff,” Gagliardi ex-plained. “It’s all about tryingto get them into footballmode.”

Gagliardi liked what hesaw from the Colts. Ideally,some of those kids will playfor him at the high schoolsome day. “I see a lot of goodlooking athletes out here,”Gagliardi said. “Hopefullythey’ll be coming to us in thefuture … There are somegood size kids, but most im-portantly, all these kids seempretty energetic and prettyenthusiastic about football.”

Gagliardi knows that astrong relationship betweenhis program and the Colts isimperative if the long-strug-gling PHS football team is toget back on track. That’s partof the reason he was out atNorton Park this week. “It’sa chance to see the kids andmake a connection. And wewant them to see some of thehigh school coaches’ faces;get to know me a little bit,”Gagliardi said. “We’re tryingto get the programs to inter-act a little bit more.”

The Colts’ season-openeris in early September. Last

fall, the Colts midget teamearned the Western Con-necticut Pop Warner cham-pionship and was the staterunner-up.

Colts cheerleaders have

been successful in recentyears, as well. Fifty cheer-leaders have registered forthis season. Colts cheerlead-ers held their first practiceMonday night at Norton

Park.The Plainville Colts will

accept registration until Sat-urday, Aug. 15.

Just as Mandeville did —and continues to do, Wesolyenjoys working with youngplayers in town, players whomay one day wear the PHSuniform.

Wesoly, Mandeville andcurrent PHS girls basketballcoach Jen Micowski got agood, long look at the nextgeneration of PHS playerswhen they oversaw the BlueDevil clinic in July. Thisyear’s clinic was the largestin its nine-year history.

Dr. Jim Caron, with thehelp of former PHS andRhode Island College basket-ball player Tony Pierlioni,navigated the Parks andRecreation clinic.

Both clinics focused onthe fundamentals of thegame.

“I believe in coaches in-structing kids,” Mandevillesaid. “In our camp, that’swhat the kids get. We tellthem the first day how luckythey are to have such aknowledgeable and experi-enced staff … I was im-pressed by how well they lis-tened to instruction andtried to transfer skills intothe games.”

“The best thing was thatthey were all Plainville kids.Both Jen and Marc werepresent to not only get ac-quainted with the kids, butto give them skills and drillsto practice in the off-season.We’re very honest in tellingkids that one week at campwill not make them all-stars.However, we give them spe-cific skills on which to work,which will help them be-come more successful asthey get older,” Mandevilleadded.

The season is still months away, but local basketball players are getting ready. Pictured: Players and coachestake a breather last week during the Parks and Recreation clinic, held at the Middle School of Plainville.

“We had some really youngkids this year, kids going intothird grade, who were look-ing to improve their game.All this can only translateinto W’s when high schoolcomes around. With thegreatest turnout ever, we’reoptimistic about the futuresuccess of the girls and boysprograms.”

Dr. Caron is as well. He wasimpressed with the players atthe Parks and Recreationclinic.

But along with walkingaway with improved shoot-ing, dribbling and defensivetechniques, Dr. Caron hopesthe youngsters left the clinicwith a passion for the game,and a desire to succeed — notonly on the basketball court.

“My philosophy is simple,which I developed from rais-

ing six children — with mywife’s help for 30 years — inthe Plainville community:Create a love for the sports,

love the kids, and help themto become successful in life,”he said. “It is programs likethis that will help Plainville

kids do well in middle schooland high school sports, aswell as achieve success inlife.”

Will you be visiting Washington,D.C., this summer? Manyfamilies head to our nation’scapital for summer vacations.

Washington might not seemlike a likely place to learn moreabout Earth’s oceans. Buta new exhibit there takesus into the deep waters ofthe sea to find out whatscientists are learning about thismysterious part of our world.

This week, The Mini Pageexplores the Sant Ocean Hall at theSmithsonian’s National Museum ofNatural History. This new exhibit isa project created by the museum andthe National Oceanic and AtmosphericAdministration (NOAA).One ocean

Developers of the Sant Ocean Hallstarted out with one main idea: “Theocean is a global system essentialto all life, including yours.”

If you look at a globe, you can seewhat they mean. Our planet really hasjust one large ocean, with differentbasins, or depressions in the surfaceof the Earth where water gathers.

The massive ocean makes ourplanet habitable — a place where wecan live.

Ocean planetYou may not live near the ocean.

But even if the ocean is thousands ofmiles away, you still need it to live.

bathing or cooking was once a partof the ocean and will be a part of theocean again.

thank the ocean for one of them. Theocean produces at least half of theoxygen we need to breathe.

circulation, or movement, of wateraround the planet affects our climateand changes our weather patterns.

A sea with no water?Visitors might be surprised to find

that there is only one tank of water inSant Ocean Hall. (It holds living coralreefs and many other species.) Thehall is in an old building, so it was notpossible to build many large tanks forwater.

Instead, the designers usedcomputers, film and other movingimages to make visitors feel likethey’re underwater.

The Sant Ocean Hall features 674specimens and models that help visitorslearn more about how the ocean helpsus and how we are affecting the ocean.

Scientists have decided on fivecritical, or important, issuesaffecting our oceans.Habitat transformation

Most people in the world livewithin 50 miles of a coastline.Humans have homes, hotels,factories, agriculture and places tohave fun near these coastlines.

But all that building transforms, or changes, the ocean. For example,the Sant Ocean Hall displays showhow we’ve pumped sand in to makebigger beach areas and changed theshape of the coastline.Not enough fish

People in the United States andall around the world love to eat fish.But we are taking fish out of the seafaster than they can reproduce. Thismeans some species are disappearing.

In the exhibit, visitors can use aninteractive display to figure out waysto better manage commercial, orbusiness, fishing.

PollutionEach of us affects the ocean every

day. For instance, your family mightput fertilizer or bugkiller on the lawn.When it rains, thosechemicals washdown the drainand run to a river.The river runs tothe ocean, and thechemicals end up in the ocean. Thesechemicals might kill animals orchange the oxygen level in the water.Climate change

At the Sant Ocean Hall, visitorscan choose different ways to improvetheir own effects on the climate. Theycan also see how polar bears areaffected as arctic ice melts, reducingthe bears’ hunting grounds.

Water Around the WorldTo conserve

fish numbers,visitors mightchoose to limitthe number offishing boatsthat can workin one area, or restrict the methodsfishermen can use for harvesting.Invasive species

Animals and plants that oncelived in one area of the ocean arenow being moved to other areas. Forexample, a ship might take on waterfor ballast* in a port in Europe andsail to the United States. When itgets to the East Coast, it unloads itsballast into the ocean — along withplants and animals that rode acrossthe ocean in the ballast tanks.

This introduces new species to abalanced ecosystem. These “alien”newcomers may take over.*Ballast is something a ship takes on tomake it heavier when it is not carryingcargo.

Words that remind us of the ocean are hidden in the block below. Some wordsare hidden backward or diagonally, and some letters are used twice.

Consultant to outline trail plan By Ken DiMauro

The Plainville Citizen

Representatives from theconsultant gathering infor-mation for an upcomingstudy for establishing a mul-ti-use biking and hiking trailin Plainville will host the sec-ond part of a informationsession at 7 p.m. on Tuesday,Aug. 11 at Plainville PublicLibrary, 56 E. Main St.

Engineering consultantMilone & MacBroom, basedin Cheshire, will attend andlead the session, along withmembers of the PlainvilleGreenway Alliance, a groupthat has been advocating cre-ation of the local trail since2003.

The consultant has beendiscussions options availablefor the proposed trail. A ses-sion held July 14 talked aboutthe area near the workingrailroad line in the southernpart of Plainville. The up-coming session will focus onproposed parts of the trailfrom downtown Plainville to

where it could connect withan existing linear park corri-dor in Farmington.

James Cassidy, presidentand one of the founders ofthe alliance, said an unusualsituation exists in Plainvillebecause an active railroaduses the right of way wherethe bike path could go, espe-cially in the downtown areaand points south.

However, it may be possi-ble to get the railroad to sellthat part to the town for anexclusive Rails-to-Trails.

Problems that exist withthis part of the line are reno-vating a bridge that crossesthe Pequabuck River, creat-ing a way to cross NorthwestDrive, and possibly crossingthe east-west tracks that maybecome a Waterbury-Hart-ford commuter rail line.

Cassidy said he wants tohear from residents, businessleaders and civic groups be-fore the study is releasedaround Sept. 30.

Cassidy admitted the planto create the trail is moving

slowly, but that is because ofmany issues. He said officialssuch as Town ManagerRobert E. Lee are workingwith the railroad. Cassidysaid he doesn’t want to putthe railroad out of business.

The public is invited to thesession slated for Tuesday.Initial plans for the trail areon display at the library.

A new nature mural by Charlene VanNess, of Terryville, is on display at SessionsWoods Conservation Education Center in Burlington.

The Connecticut Department of Environ-mental Protection and the Friends of Ses-sions Woods unveiled an 8-foot x 2-foot muralpainted by local artist and Master WildlifeConservationist Charlene VanNess, at a spe-cial reception held in July at DEP’s SessionsWoods Conservation Education Center,Burlington.

The Friends of Sessions Woods hosted thereception to honor VanNess for donating hertime and tremendous talent to paint an out-standing mural which depicts the beaver

marsh at Sessions Woodsand the various wildlifespecies found there, such asthe wood duck, kingfisher,white-tailed deer, great blueheron, and monarch butter-fly.

VanNess, of Terryville, isa professional floral design-er and artist who paintsmostly with oils and acrylics; her specialtyare landscapes. Her painting is realistic and

very detailed, from the sky tothe trees to the water, as wellas from the soaring red-tailedhawk to the river otter to thesmallest of dragonflies.

The mural can be viewedat the 777-acre SessionsWoods Conservation Educa-tion Center, 341 Milford St.,Route 69, Burlington. Thecenter, a facility of the DEPWildlife Division, is openMonday through Friday be-tween 8:30 a.m. and 4 p.m. Ad-mission is free.
