The meeting was the finalone for LaCombe, a Republi-can, and Manafort, a Democ-rat, before the Nov. 3 electionsand a new board is seated Nov.9. LaCombe, who has been onthe school board for fouryears, and Manafort, who wastapped in 2008 to fill the termof her father, Thomas L. Wazorko, decided not to run in the election. The eld-er Wazorko, 61, who was a member of the school board for more than 24years, died March 25, 2008, as a result of pancreatic cancer.

After spending 14 years onthe Town Council and much ofher adult life servingPlainville-area organizationsand civic groups, HelenBergenty said Monday she did-n’t expect the sendoff she wasgiven at end of the councilmeeting.

Local officials, members ofthe council, and residentslined up to thank Bergenty forher public service and con-gratulate her on her retire-ment of sorts. Earlier thisyear, she decided not to seekre-election to the town’s topadministrative board. “I’mturning a page in my life,”Bergenty said, adding she ismoving on to other things.

At Monday’s meeting, Bergenty received an engraved plaque and a wood-en rocking chair from the town. “It’s beautiful,” she said, but she refused tosit in it for a photograph.

Representatives of Dattco, the NewBritain-based firm that provides school bustransportation services to Plainville stu-dents, appeared Oct. 5 before the Board of Ed-ucation to answer questions about the recentnumber of local accidents and what is beingdone to address them.

School board member Jesse Gnazzo, a Re-

Controversial book boycott debated as libraries order copiesBy Robin Lee MichelThe Plainville Citizen

Peter Chase, director ofthe Plainville Public Library,will let patrons decide ontheir own whether they wantto read a recently releasedbook that some people areasking to be boycotted. Thebook, “In the Middle of theNight: The Shocking TrueStory of a Family Killed inCold Blood,” was written byBrian McDonald, who inter-viewed one of the suspects inthe July 23, 2007, home inva-sion during which three peo-ple died. Jennifer Hawke-Pe-tit, Michaela Petit and Hay-ley Petit were the wife andtwo daughters of Dr. WilliamA. Petit Jr., a Plainville na-tive whose medical practicewas located in town. Petitsurvived the attack.

Suspects Joshua Komisar-jevsky and Stephen Hayeswere arrested as they fled theCheshire home they alleged-ly set on fire. They have beenheld since their arrests. Mc-Donald interviewed Komis-

arjevsky four times in jailbefore prison officialsbanned him.

Chase said several copiesof the book have been or-dered but have not arrived atthe library, located at 56 E.Main St. As for calls to boy-cott the book versus freedomof expression rights, he saidhe hadn’t given muchthought pertaining to this is-sue.

E-mails have been circu-lating for several weeks urg-ing people to contact the pub-lishing house, McMillanPress, and booksellers Bor-ders, Amazon, and Barnes &Noble to protest the publica-tion and sale of the book.

“Since 2007, there hasbeen a gag order on the trialwhich [has] now clearly andblatantly been disregarded ...The order was issued in or-der to ensure a fair trial ...The material in the book ...was illegally communicatedby Komisarjevsky to the au-thor ... and yet both are prof-iting from their actions,”reads in part an e-mail re-

ceived at The Plainville Citi-zen from Petit.

A hearing was to be heldOct. 21 in New Haven Superi-or Court to determine ifKomisarjevsky violated acourt-imposed gag order bytalking to the author.

Susan Smayda, director ofthe Southington Public Li-brary, and directors of theCheshire, Meriden andWallingford libraries all saidthe book was being added tothe shelves. “We have peoplewaiting for it,” Smayda said.One person came into the li-brary and protested the factthat many area librarieswere making it available,Smayda said, adding she willnot read the book. “Half thebooks here I’d never read,”she said.

In an e-mail reply to Petit’se-mail that was forwarded toAmazon.com and the othermentioned sites, Becky Aviv,of Amazon.com’s ExecutiveCustomer Relations, an-swered The Plainville Citi-zen, “We have carefully re-viewed your concerns and

we understand that you feelstrongly about this issue. Weextend our deepest sympathyto everyone affected by thistragedy. However, it is ourlongstanding policy not tocensor our book catalog byremoving titles because we,or others, disagree with theirmessage or find their contentobjectionable.

“As a bookseller, our goal

has always been to providecustomers with the broadestselection possible so theycan find, discover and buyany item they might be seek-ing [including] items whichmany people may find objec-tionable.”

The communication con-cluded with “We won’t beable to comment further onthis topic.”

Fire inspection fees go up in smokeBy Ken DiMauro


The proposed and contro-versial ordinance that wouldcharge for fire and safetycode inspections done by FireMarshal Larry Sutherlandwent figuratively up insmoke Monday as the TownCouncil failed to get a majori-ty to pass it.

At the meeting, Republi-cans Helen Bergenty, DanHurley and Democrat LynnSzach voted to scuttle theidea, with DemocratsChristopher Wazorko, RobertCiotto Sr. and Jason Rupakavoting for it. Democrat KirbyDeegan did not attend themeeting.

Richard Williams, vicepresident of the local Cham-ber of Commerce, said he ap-preciated officials holding offmaking a decision until thebusiness group received apresentation Oct. 13 on thesubject and had an opportu-nity to weigh in.

Williams said most of the

local businesses thought theproposal would be detrimen-tal, although they appreciat-ed the town officials wantingto find new revenue sources.

Plainville resident JohnKisluk, who is running as apetitioning candidate forTown Council, a unabashedcritic of the new fee ordi-nance, called for the councilto reject it. In the past, Kislukcalled the proposal a dis-guised tax hike on business-es.

Council ChairmanChristopher Wazorko saidthe group has been talkingabout the issue for the pastsix months. He bristled atKisluk’s notion he hadn’tthought about the proposedcharges for fire and safetycode inspections, addingmany businesses received adecrease in taxes after recentrevaluation. Wazorko said hedidn’t want to see residentialtaxpayers bearing the weightwhen local businesses couldafford an estimated cost be-tween $50 and $100.

Kisluk was happy the pro-posal apparently has been re-jected. However, another op-ponent of the ordinance isn’tconvinced the idea is deadand buried, adding the propo-nents could dust it off againonce the new council issworn in.

The list of code inspectioncategories had been cut inhalf from 54 to 24, officialssaid. Kisluk said Wazorkoand other officials will haveto look elsewhere for revenueresources.

Bergenty, Hurley andSzach agreed this is not thetime to institute charges forfire inspections and safetycodes.

The Republican TownCommittee also voted not toback the ordinance. Lee Tof-fey, chairwoman of the Re-publican Town Committee,agreed the new fees wouldend up hurting local busi-nesses.

Wazorko and CouncilmanRobert Ciotto Sr. expressedtheir appreciation to Bergen-ty. Wazorko said the things helikes about her are her posi-tive attitude and cheerful ap-proach to life.

“I enjoy life and like meet-ing people,” Bergenty said.She said that after she firstgot involved in politics, At-torney Milton Koskoff, herfriend and mentor, gave her avaluable piece of advice to letcriticism roll off her like wa-ter on a duck’s back. Other-wise, she’d be miserable.

Lee Toffey, chairwoman ofthe Plainville RepublicanTown Committee, who is run-ning for a seat on the council,said Bergenty is a politicalicon and the main reason theyounger woman got involvedpolitically.

Toffey, who said she neverheard Bergenty say anythingbad about anyone, will re-main as a member of thetown committee and al-though she isn’t running,Bergenty is co-chairing the

GOP’s campaign. “She has alot of ideas and a lot to give,”Toffey said.

Bergenty spent manyyears in the real estate andinsurance business, operat-ing the Starline Agency for 35years before retiring. She isactive on many groups andorganizations, including theWoman’s Club of Plainville,the Plainville CommunityFund and Our Lady of MercyChurch.

Bergenty doubts she willever completely retire, oncejoking in an article that shewould be on the council untilshe was in a coffin. “I’m notthe retiring type,” she said.

Interested in the local busi-

ness community, Bergentysaid she wouldn’t mind beingappointed to the Plainville

Economic DevelopmentAgency. She said businessesare the life’s blood of

Plainville.

He said Dattco considersPlainville a valuable cus-tomer. Also at the meetingwere Don DeVivo, presidentof Dattco, and several othermanagers and supervisorsfor the firm. Only DeVivo andGibson spoke publicly to theschool board.

Both DeVivo and Gibsonsaid the company is veryproud of its overall safetyrecord and is driving hard toreduce or eliminate acci-dents. “Even one accident isone too many,” Gibson said,adding officials have metwith Carmelich and have in-stituted several solutions af-ter studying the situation.

Measures include sendingsupervisors to the SouthCanal Street lot where theschool buses embark in themornings, and holding safety

meetings for the drivers. Gib-son said the 40 drivers thatoperate school buses locallyattend 10 safety meetings,about one a month during theschool year. The safety meet-ings are more than the sixmeetings the state recom-mends.

He also said “a mirror clin-ic” was held, where driverswere made aware of the prop-er alignment of exterior andinterior bus mirrors to elimi-nate possible blind spots. Su-pervisors and drivers alsolooked at problematic partsof routes where an accidentcould happen and reroutedthe buses where necessary.

Gnazzo asked about policyof letting Dattco drivers taketheir youngsters, usually tod-dlers, on the bus. He said hethought that could be a poten-tially distracting situation.

Gibson said the companypolicy is a privilege, not aright, and if an incident is re-ported, the privilege is taken

away and the employees haveto find care alternatives fortheir kids.

School board memberTabitha Wazorko Manafortasked about drivers and cellphones. She said she wasonce driving in a nearbytown and saw a school busdriver, not Dattco, using a cellphone while driving.

Gibson said that bus driv-ers sometimes have two-wayradios or cell phones, butthey are strongly urged topull over and stop the vehiclebefore placing a call.

He told the board the com-pany is in the process of ob-taining a mechanical record-ing device called an accidentevent recorder, which notonly takes photos or film, butkeeps track of speed and oth-er factors. Currently, Dattcohas 13 units it is testing.

After the 45-minute meet-ing, Carmelich and Gnazzoboth said they were satisfiedwith what Gibson and otherofficials had said and aresure both the board andDattco are on the same page.

Gnazzo said that he re-ceived calls of support fromparents, but some residentswere worried he was “on awitch hunt.” Nothing couldbe further from the truth, hesaid, adding he wants tomake sure students are keptsafe.

He said there is nothingwrong with asking for a face-

to-face with Dattco and doingsome fact-finding, especiallysince the board and town willbe negotiating a one-yearcontract extension when thecurrent contract with Dattcoexpires next June. The townhas budgeted $1.5 million forbus transportation.

After Gnazzo originallyhad expressed concernsabout an apparent spike inschool bus accidents duringthe last year or so, ThePlainville Citizen contactedthe Plainville Police Depart-ment.

Sgt. Charles Smedick, ofthe Traffic Division, saidthere were several accidents,and two of them resulted inminor injury, including oneApril 16 on Granger Lanewhere a school bus struck autility pole in a parking lotand another Sept. 4 when aDattco bus struck a bicycliston Johnson Avenue. In bothof these incidents, the busdrivers were cited, he said.

Three accidents were

school buses striking stopsigns or no-parking signs,Smedick said and did not in-volve injury. The last one wasa rear-end collision on North-west Drive at Camp Street,where the bus struck the rearof a vehicle. “The Dattcodriver was at fault,” he said.

Smedick said, “Minor busaccidents involving schoolbuses are normal, especiallyin parking lots or school lots.I don’t see any reason to beconcerned. Especially whenyou consider the police inves-tigated over 600 motor vehi-cle accidents during the sameperiod.”

Dattco operates severaltypes of buses in Plainville,the largest having a capacityof 83 riders. The majority ofother buses operated by thecompany have either 77 or 71passengers. The smallerschool buses can hold be-tween 16 and 25 students, Gib-son said.

Dattco has been in busi-ness for about 80 years.

board and not just a seat hold-er. She said she tried to beaware of what her fatherthought was important whenhe was on the board, but alsotried to be her own person as

well.LaCombe, 46, said he was

impressed with the amountof work school board mem-bers do and the number ofmeetings they attend. He em-phasized that he is happy tobe able to spend more timewith his wife, Sue, and chil-dren, Morgan, 13, and Wyatt,7. He also may devote moretime to his church.

2. What are your top pri-orities and how will youaddress them?

There are many issuesvery important to our townand our citizens, which needto be addressed, such as openspace. Because of its histori-cal beauty and recreationalbenefits, it is essential thatour open space be preserved.I will continue to work withour commissions and localorganizations to help pre-serve our open space. This isimportant to the success ofour town.Respect and honesty: I willalso focus on continuing towork on keeping the honesty,dignity and respect back tothis town that each of us de-serve and desire.

I will continue tolook for creative ways to re-tain and attract new busi-ness to the town of Plainvilleby working with our Eco-nomic Development Agencyand town staff, as I serve onthe Plainville Town Council.Retaining and attracting newbusiness is critical to the suc-

cess of our town and to helpreduce the tax burden on ourcitizens.

P l a i n v i l l ev o t e r sshould beconfident invoting for mebecause ofthe commit-ment and ef-fort that Iwill put in ifelected to the Town Council. Iwill bring a new set of eyeswith a business sense to findbetter ways to strengthen ourcommunity. I will take a lead-ership role within our com-munity to better understandwhat our citizens truly ex-pect from the town govern-ment. We need to quit talkingabout the past and the sameold issues and instead makedecisions to resolve the is-sues and move on. The focusof the Town Council needs to

be on what is best forPlainville and that is what Iwill do if I am elected.


Priority one should bemaking a commitment to thetaxpayers that we are spend-ing the tax income in themost efficient way possible.Negotiations with the town’svendors and suppliers to re-duce their costs are one ex-ample of how to do this. Withthe economy continuing totrend down, there are compa-nies that would like to havethe steady business that amunicipality provides themand in turn “Plainville”would get a lower cost forthese services. Your repre-sentatives on the Town Coun-cil should be competent inunderstanding the budget,understand what savingswere realized during theprocess, and how the spendeffects the everyday citizen.We need to focus on innova-tive ways to attract new busi-ness to our community. Weare in a competition for newbusiness with the townsaround us, and we need towin. The next issue I have iswith the hidden taxes thathave been passed by the lastcouncil. For example we nowask the Plainville LittleLeague and soccer teams topay for the watering of theirfields. What you really havedone is imposed extra ex-penses on these nonprofitleagues who then pass thatexpense onto the parents,who just happen to be tax-payers in our town.

I am asmall busi-ness owneras well as amother oftwo elemen-tary age chil-dren at Tof-folon School.This gives me an importantand personal perspective ontwo of the most important is-sues facing Plainville: thecontinued development ofbusiness in Plainville andthe maintenance of our ex-cellent school system.

Plainville has many smallbusinesses. It must continueto maintain and support ex-isting businesses while pro-moting itself to attract newbusinesses. As a small busi-ness owner, I understand theimportance of maintainingcosts and evaluating opera-tions while also continuingto find ways to promote anddevelop excellence.

Our school system has alsobeen faced with many chal-lenges in this difficult econo-my. Our leaders have done agood job of balancing theneeds of the schools versusthe cost to the taxpayers. Iwould like to further developthe relationship between theschools and the communityto find creative ways to main-tain existing programs andadd others. I chose to raisemy children and operate mybusiness in Plainville be-cause it is a unique and spe-cial community. I hope tohave the opportunity in No-

————1. Why should Plainville

voters vote for you?I have

proven to thevoters that Iwould applyc o m m o nsense andnot just mon-ey to theneeds and is-sues of thistown. I haveworked hard to make onlynecessary spending be therule. To improve the mainte-nance of our equipment,buildings, and roads workingwith others on the council tokeep costs down.


1. New ways to bring busi-nesses and good jobs toPlainville.

2. Maintaining a very tightspending policy.

3. Trying to find new waysto grow the grand list. Watch-ing over how much andwhere we spend our moniesas to not cause taxpayer in-creases.

vember to serve as one of itselected officials.


The first priority must beto maintain town serviceswith no or very little in-crease in taxes to townspeo-ple. The decline in the econo-my has forced hard choicesto balance the budgets withminimal impact. As the econ-omy continues to be slow inits recovery, additional re-view of all of the budgetswith an eye toward cost-cut-ting and streamlining servic-es may be necessary for thefuture.

My second priority will beto determine how much ofthe town’s obligations are be-ing dictated by the state andfederal government in un-funded mandates. Theseplace an unnecessary and un-sustainable burden on localgovernments and detractfrom the town being able tofund those programs thatwill most directly benefitPlainville. Coordination withstate and federal officials toreview and potentially re-move these mandates is es-sential to the goal of maxi-mizing revenues forPlainville.

voters vote for you?I believe

that the citi-zens ofP l a i n v i l l ehave losttheir voice inthe govern-ment of ourtown. Aspresident ofthe Citizensand Property Owners Associ-ation of Plainville, I havebeen working with othermembers of our group tohave our voices heard by theTown Council. As a memberof the council, I will continueto be a voice for the people, Iwill bring forth, to councilmeetings all questions andissues that are posed to meby citizens. I am tired of hav-ing dozens of taxpayers op-pose a plan of the town man-ager, with no one in favor ofthe plan and then have thecouncil rubber stamp the is-sue. In my opinion, this isblatant incompetence and ar-rogance toward the citizensand I would never act in sucha derelict manner. I will con-tinue to be, as of lately, thevoice of the belittled citizen.Issues of public concern thathave been hidden from thepubic and or have not beenproperly explained will bebrought out by me at councilmeetings. The only way thatthe taxpayers can get ourtown back from the doorstepof demise and bring ourtown back to the people, willbe to vote in a new council.


One of my top prioritieswill be to bring back tele-vised oral petitions to thecouncil meeting so that thecitizens can learn about is-sues of importance to others.Next the council has to stopunnecessary and wastefulspending while taking awayessential services from thetaxpayers. I will be a strongvoice to oppose this negli-

gence! I will fight to have vot-er input concerning issuessuch as automated trash pickup by having an advisoryquestion or the vote itself ona ballot during a regulartown voting day. I do not be-lieve in taking away the vot-ing rights of the taxpayers asthe Democratic-controlledcouncil has been doing. It ismy sincere hope that the vot-ers of Plainville have hadtheir fill of the present zanycouncil and will elect myselfand a council that trulyworks for Plainville. As amember of the council, I willaddress these and all otherissues in public at TownCouncil meetings.

My top priorities will con-sist of working to pass a fairand responsible budget.

tude to helpmove ourtown for-ward. I cur-rently serveas vice presi-dent of theCitizens andP r o p e r t yOwners As-sociation of Plainville, agroup that looks out for thefiscal interests and well be-ing of residents and propertyowners. I also serve on the In-land Wetland & WatercourseCommission and as a Justiceof the Peace. My wife and Ihave been small businessowners in Plainville for morethan 15 years. Many resi-dents are convinced thattheir vote doesn’t count, sothey don’t vote. I want towork to change that. I wouldvery much like to see the var-ious politicians in Plainvillestart to work together in thebest interests of town resi-dents. We could accomplishso much more if there was ci-vility and bipartisan cooper-ation in addressing the im-portant issues we are facing.


From automated trash col-lection, to recycling, sewerrates, and maintenance ofour town schools and roads,there are many important is-sues affecting Plainville.And, we need calm, rationalpeople, working together, toprovide cost-effective resolu-tions and relief for town res-idents. I will support CharterRevision to correct the cur-rent budget process. It’s animportant subject for manytown residents. The idea thatyou vote three times, and inthe end, your vote may notcount sends the wrong mes-sage. We need to restore therecording of citizen com-ments at Town Council meet-ings. With respect from allsides, Plainville residentsshould have an opportunityto be heard, and have thosequestions and commentsavailable on Nutmeg TV forall residents to view. TheTown Council should alwaysbe open to information andconcerns from the public. We

also need to minimize tax in-creases by encouraging busi-ness growth and expansion,controlling spending, andconsolidating services wherepossible.

There are a few that we,the council, have been work-ing on for a few years. Ofcourse trying to keep taxesand spending down whilepreserving town services isat the top. We have been ex-tremely fortunate in keepingour leaf pick-up, garbage col-lection and bulk pick-up. Un-fortunately with the state ofthe economy, I believe thiswill become much more diffi-cult in future years. Openspace and downtown revital-ization are other prioritiesthat I would like to continueto work on. We have had sev-eral new merchants come todowntown recently that have

brought more people into thecenter and it would be won-derful to see all the store-fronts filled by next year. Wewere also successful in ob-taining a 79 acre parcel ofopen space with a grant fromthe state and town funds. Ihope that we will continue tofund the open space accountso that when another piece ofopen space property becomesavailable that we will be ableto purchase it.

voters vote for you?Plainville

should votefor me be-cause I amdedicated todoing a goodjob for all thecitizens ofPlainville. Imake fair de-cisions afterI have heard all the facts, willlisten to their concerns, andmake decisions for the goodof the town as a whole, notselect groups of people. I un-derstand the need to be fru-gal in these depressed eco-nomic times and what itmeans to live on what comesin my paycheck month tomonth. The voters deservesomeone who will make asincere effort to get the mostmileage out of our dwindlingstate dollars and hard earnedtaxes, and I vow to be thatperson.

I am also dedicated toworking with whoever elsegets elected, regardless oftheir party affiliation, tomake Plainville the besttown it can be. The time forarguing is over. It’s time tofind workable solutions tothe economic and education-al problems facing our town.


Plainville needs to be anattractive place to do busi-ness and an effort to bring re-tail, industry and manufac-turing into town needs to bea priority. This is the onlyway to increase tax revenuewithout placing further bur-dens on the citizens. We alsoneed to support the business-es currently in town. Oneidea to accomplish both ofthese can be expansions atthe airport in terms of arestaurant, car rental kiosk,shuttle service, etc. Thiscould increase interest forflying into the airport and al-low easy travel intoPlainville proper.

We must also support ourchildren and schools. Weneed a better partnership be-tween the Town Council andthe Board of Education to

supply the needs of the stu-dents while addressing thefiscal boundaries that thetown can afford. Schoolbuildings and academic/ath-letic choices and perform-ance must be maintained forthe good of our children.This can only be accom-plished if we all work togeth-er and come up with viablealternatives instead of stale-mates.

Council the past two yearshas been a rewarding andsatisfying experience for me.This current council hasbeen able to make progressin many areas. We have beensuccessful in lowering costsas well as finding newsources of revenue. As thenext few weeks unfold, ourteam will do our best to sharewith you our accomplish-ments and what we plan to dofor the next two years whenelected.

While we have accom-plished a lot there is stillmore that we can do. I willcontinue to look for ways tolower the mill rate and makesure that we only spend whatwe need and that all taxpay-ers’ dollars are spent wisely.


Some of my top prioritiesover the next two years willbe to keep taxes low, look forlocal or regional sharing ofresources, and continue tolook for new avenues of rev-enue. Some specific items Iwould like to address wouldinclude completion of thesenior citizens center expan-sion, completion of the pur-chase of Robertson Airport,continue to work to secureopen space, and investigateadditional environmentallyfriendly programs.

We also need to continue tobe diligent in collecting backtaxes, working with our statelegislatures for increasedfunding, and securing grantsto lower the tax burden on thetaxpayers.

Being an avid follow-er of local, state and federalpolitics I feel that I would andcan voice the opinion of thetown. Education was neverimportant to me until I hadchildren of my own. How weall want something differentfor our children, not know-ing where to start, but know-ing we need to change our-selves to be better for ourchildren; that time has comefor me. When my wife be-came pregnant moving backto Plainville was the only op-tion; one to be close to family,but most of all the schoolsystem. Several years later asa parent of three children inthe school system I find my-self needing to be more in-volved in the schools. We allwant better for our children,but where to start? Let me getyou started: I will be honest,fair and to the point for thechildren as the community. Iwill fight hard for our rightsas parents and for the privi-leges of our children.


My top priority is to tryand figure out the budget askthe questions nobody wantsto ask and when I receive ananswer find out a better solu-tion to the problem and getthe opinions of all who wantto talk to me. We all know thebudget is the biggest questfor all involved. Let me beyour voice and help the chil-dren of this town get whatthey need to better theschools for future genera-tions to come.

tions. In addition, not onlyam I a taxpayer in Plainville,but I am also a parent of twochildren who attend ourtown’s schools. As a result, Ihave a vested interest notonly in my children’s futurebut in Plainville’s future aswell. I strongly believe thatthe Board of Education canprovide fiscal responsibilityto our citizens coupled withthe best possible educationfor our children. With yoursupport on Nov. 3 and myqualifications, we can achievethese goals and be confidentin everyone’s future.


My top priorities maysound easy to achieve, but Iassure you they are not.First, as a member of theBoard of Education, mymain responsibility is pro-viding the best possible edu-cation for our children. To-day, perhaps more than everbefore, it is of the utmost im-portance that our childrenare well prepared to succeedno matter what path they fol-low after high school. Provid-ing our children with a qual-ity education is my top prior-ity. However, I also stronglybelieve in fiscal responsibili-ty to the people who are pay-ing for that education — you,the taxpayers of Plainville.Some say you can’t haveboth, but I don’t necessarilybelieve that.

Through sensible spend-ing, streamlining of servicesand digging a little deeper tofind the best deals, we canhave it both ways. Most cer-tainly this will mean havingto make hard, yet smart, de-cisions with our moneywhile demonstrating pa-tience when it comes to thelatest fads in education. As Isaid before, this won’t beeasy; current economic con-ditions necessitate difficultdecision making. But I re-main steadfast in my priori-ties and convictions and lookforward to the challengesahead as a member of thePlainville Board of Educa-tion.

—————1. Why should Plainvillevoters vote for you?

Being amember ofthe Board ofE d u c a t i o nwould allowme to con-tribute to theprocess thatprepares ourchildren tobe successfulmembers of the global socie-ty in which we now live. Igrew up in Plainville and re-ceived an education here thatformed the basis for my fu-ture learning and career. Ichose to raise my childrenhere and have been an activeparticipant in the school sys-tem and in the community.

My father, Robert Provost,was on the Town Council formany years and taught methe importance of activelyparticipating. For me, beingan advocate of education isthe most important way tobecome involved. I had theopportunity to complete anopen term on the Board ofEducation. This has given

me some insight into theprocess and if elected wouldallow me to begin with a baseof experience already estab-lished.

I have experience in theworlds of both high technolo-gy and the arts, coupled witha business background. I un-derstand the difficulty in bal-ancing a broad-based visionfor our children’s future suc-cess, with the daily circum-stance of economic survivalin a tough economy. My workshows me daily where tech-nology is headed and whatskill sets our children willneed to excel.

Good schools keep theproperty values high and arethe lifeblood of a community.Plainville has a solid systemwith teachers and adminis-trators dedicated to improv-ing the educational opportu-nities for our children everyday. I want to be a part of thatprocess and of the future ofPlainville schools.

2. What are your top pri-orities and how will youachieve them?

I have two top priorities asa member of the Board ofEducation. The first is towork to provide our childrenwith the tools they will needto be successful throughouttheir years in Plainville, asthey pursue advanced educa-tion and in the world atlarge.

The second is to helpPlainville maintain theirstanding among schools inthe state which contributesto high property values, andour children’s ability to en-roll in top colleges.

Both of these goals areachieved through supportingoutstanding curriculum,keeping class sizes small andstaying current with the pro-grams and technologies thatwill keep our children ontrack to compete in the glob-al economy. These include

high level arts and scienceprograms, which encouragecritical thinking and teamwork. I will work for an edu-cational system, which willsupport a broad-based visionof the future, coupled withthe realities of today’s econ-omy.

1. Why should Plainvillevoters vote for you?

As a mem-ber of theP l a i n v i l l eBoard of Ed-ucation forthe pasteight years, Iam proud ofwhat wehave accom-plished. Westill have work to do to con-tinue preparing students forthe work force of the future.The years ahead will contin-ue to be very difficult due toprojected state budget short-falls. I believe that my expe-rience on the board will bean asset given the challengesthat lie ahead.

2. What are your toppriorities and how willyou address them?

Budget constraints willcontinue to pose the biggestchallenge to the school dis-trict. However we can’t af-ford to delay progress, thiswill require that we continueto be proactive and creativeto meet the needs of studentswith programs such as Pro-ject Opening Doors. It willalso be important to commu-nicate the needs of the dis-trict to the voters as well asthe state and federal agen-cies that govern and fund us.

Your treatment needn’t be. That’s why The Hospital of Central

Connecticut is leading the way by offering a new approach for patients with

small kidney cancer tumors.

Instead of surgically removing the tumors, doctors freeze the cancerous

cells and destroy them, by inserting a special probe that is extremely cold.

The outpatient procedure is known as cryoablation. Benefits to patients

include quicker recovery, less pain and decreased risk of complications.

It’s just another way The Hospital of Central Connecticut is bringing you

advanced world-class care, right here in your community.

To learn more about cryoablation for small kidney tumors, please visit

our web site, www.thocc.org. For a referral to a doctor who performs this

procedure, please call 1-800-321-6244.

Plainville requiresstreet numbers

Town officials would liketo remind residents are re-quired to affix assignedstreet numbers to alldwellings and buildings. Dis-playing assigned numbersproperly on buildings is notjust a convenience for visi-tors and deliveries, but moreimportantly it is essential tothe quick response of emer-

gency services such as fire,police and emergency med-ical care.

A street number checklistfrom the town manager’s of-fice provides guidelines.Street numbers should be aminimum of three incheshigh, the bigger the better.The numbers should be a con-trasting color when mountedon the business, house, mail-box or post. If the home orbusiness is located far from

the street where the numberisn’t visible, a set of numbersshould be placed near thestreet on a post, fence or sign.

Specific questions shouldbe directed to the BuildingDepartment, (860) 793-0221,ext. 216.

hike during good weather.Last year’s hike went up Pin-nacle Mountain to see his-toric Hospital Rock and theformer Nike Missile site. Or-ganizers try to pick a differ-ent route each year.

Foohey said the Conserva-tion Commission is disap-pointed it had to cancel theOct. 18 event. It will try againnext year. The group also islooking to sponsor a hike onthe proposed biking and hik-ing trail near the center oftown.

Letters to the EditorElection Dayis approachingTo the editor:

Election Day —Nov. 3 — isfast approaching. I expect,and hope, that all Plainvillevoters are taking note. I ex-pect, and hope, that all votersremember the past yearswhen we, the voters, were ig-nored by the current TownCouncil. It would be refresh-ing and welcome to be heardfor a change.

The entire slate of Republi-can candidates for the TownCouncil and the Board of Ed-ucation are eminently quali-fied to represent the entiretown.

Do not forget the Indepen-dent, John Kisluk, is also alifelong resident, thoughtfuland concerned about the fu-ture or our town.

Vote outside either party.Consider the people who careto spend many hours for littlereward to make our town thewonderful place it is to liveand raise our children.

Roberta LalamaPlainville

Issues are manyduring campaignTo the editor:

Well, folks, it is time tobreak out the snow shovels.It appears that in this elec-tion year the political stuff isgetting very deep. A recentnewspaper article that statedthe Democrats’ accomplish-ments in Plainville left mebaffled, confused and won-dering if I read an articleabout another town namedPlainville. For starters theDemocrats claim that theykept taxes low this year, duh,do they think that the tax-payers are stupid in this elec-tion year?

I would like to share mytake on what the Democratshave done for Plainville. Letus start with General Elec-tric. The Democrats gaveG.E. a $50,000 break in seweruse charges then raised theuser fees on the homeownerstwo times. They approvedspending tens of thousands

of dollars to build and main-tain a parking lot on privateproperty and then took awayour October heavy trash pickup. They destroyed our cen-ter of town with dangerousbump outs, 25-foot sidewalks,lost parking spots on thestreet and a dangerous drive-way intersection in the nameof bringing business intotown and then support exces-sive fire code inspection feeson all businesses that al-ready pay their fair share.Here is one for the soccermoms: They install irriga-tion systems on the playingfields and then want the chil-dren’s leagues to pay for thewatering of public property.They have been spendingmoney like a drunken sailorand then playing refinancinggames to make it look likethey are saving money, whenall along the financial bur-den will end up on our grand-children. They took away thefirst televised oral petitionsat the council meetings be-cause they didn’t want theirfollies exposed to the public.

I can go on and on becausethis is only the tip of the de-structive iceberg that is con-trolled by the Democrats butI think this gives an idea ofwhat is happening under thisregime. I have to mentionone more very important is-sue that you can take to thebank if the Democrats areput in office again. I wouldbet the farm that the townmanager will order the De-mocratic Town Council to ap-prove the tie in of the privateparking lot behind the Neribuilding into the libraryparking lot, at the peril ofour citizens.

These are some of the rea-sons I am seeking a seat onthe Town Council. I urgeevery voter to know yourcandidate, ask where theystand on the issues of impor-tance to you, it is time to endlip service, it is time forchange in Plainville.

Cronkhite forTown CouncilTo the editor:

I have known CarolynCronkhite for almost 10years. I’ve thought of her asan intelligent, outspokenwoman – it had occurred tome several times that she’dbe a wonderful candidate forthe Town Council. I was elat-ed when she mentioned thatshe was considering runningfor a position, and I’m anx-ious for Election Day when Ican go cast my vote for her.

Carolyn is not only abright, ambitious business-woman and a wonderful, in-volved mother of two school-aged children (althoughthose descriptions certainlydescribe her), but a very ded-icated and passionate mem-ber of our Plainville commu-nity. Carolyn is a person who

believes it truly does ‘take avillage to raise a child’ inthat she feels very vested inPlainville and has workeddiligently to influence andimprove our town. I’vewatched as she has volun-teered countless hours to theToffolon referendum, sup-ported both the PlainvilleRecreation Department andher own family by coachingher childrens’ sports teams,and actively sought out waysto use her free time to assisther friends and colleagueswith their own passions.

As a parent myself, I feelone of the most vital respon-sibilities we have to our chil-dren is to advocate for them.I have witnessed Carolyn dothat very thing – her intelli-gence and enthusiasm shinethrough whether she’s teach-ing her children a valuablelesson in self-confidence or

simply helping them decidewhat to wear for picture dayat school.

I’m certain that as a towncouncilor, this ability to ad-vocate will serve the town ofPlainville well. Carolyn isconcerned about the issuesthat affect us all – schooling(parents or no, this impactseveryone), budgeting, andtaxes, to name a few. In lightof her being a local businessowner as well as a homeown-er, taxes are particularly im-portant to Carolyn. She is anextremely hard worker andfeels strongly about how hertax dollars are spent. Car-olyn Cronkhite is as down-to-earth as the citizens ofPlainville, and I will person-ally feel very at ease knowingshe will be representing allof us.

Manafort said her hus-band, Justin, has been sup-portive and patient, and she,too, will look forward tospending more time withtheir children, Samantha, 7,and Justin Jr., 4. Her hus-band’s family owns and oper-ates Manafort Brothers Inc.,

a well-known constructionand demolition firm inPlainville. She said she willremain active with severalarea organizations, includ-ing the Community Founda-tion of Greater New Britainand the Plainville Communi-ty Food Pantry.

The Board of Educationgave service plaques Oct. 5 toLaCombe and Manafort. Thehonors were given by Super-intendent of Schools Kath-leen Binkowski and boardChairwoman Becky Tyrrell.

LaCombe is employed as aservice technician for HiKonOffice Solutions, while Man-afort owns and operates twofirms, F-1 Ventures andTWM Development. She pur-chases, renovates and “flips”homes for resale. Manafort isa former middle schoolteacher.

LaCombe said he tried todo research and speak out onschool budget issues. Duringthe 2008-09 budget process,he was the only board mem-ber who refused to reluctant-ly endorse an eventual-ad-justed 1.9 percent increasesought by the Town Councilbecause it didn’t address lay-ing off 10 paraprofessionalswhile there were some certi-fied staff that could havebeen targeted.

He said he is happy theprofessional and overall cli-mates at the middle schoolhave improved during thelast few years and the situa-tion has been less problemat-ic than it was when he firstgot on the board.

Both LaCombe and Man-afort said they will missworking with their dedicatedcolleagues.

Teen thespians present one-act plays

The Plainville HighSchool drama club, Studentsof Theater Unlimited, pre-sented seven one-act plays onOct. 16 and 17 in the Mel Per-ry Auditorium. The sevenmini-plays were performed,produced and directed bystudents. The plays ran thegamut from side-splittingcomedy to profound drama.

PHS faculty memberThomas Riccardo is the clubadvisor. “My passion has al-ways been the theater, fromhigh school to my first col-lege degree. In coming toPlainville High School, Iwanted to do what I could toenrich the existing theaterprogram. The question was,what to add? Some suggestedanother play, others a musi-cal.

“I decided on neither fortwo specific reasons. Anoth-er play just allows the sameelite students, while talent-ed, to act in another produc-

tion. A musical lets only asmall group of stars shinewhile all others are pushedinto the background chorus.Instead, I decided on the one-act play project, which is aproject of multiple 10-minute one-act plays. Thiswould significantly enrichthe program in two ways.One, it allows students tolearn another facet of the-ater by directing under theguiding hand of a trained di-rector. Second, another playor musical would not allowevery student an equal shareof stage-time; the 10-minuteplays allow everyone achance to be a star,” he said.

Martino-led Lady Devils hitting their strideBy Mark Pukalo

Special to The Citizen

The Plainville girls soccerteam could not extend its winstreak last week, but the BlueDevils showed that strongprogress is being made.

Bristol Central had toscore late to tie Plainville 2-2last Tuesday and unbeatenBerlin was forced to workhard to turn back the Devils3-2 Friday. Central beatPlainville 2-1 and Berlin de-feated the Devils 5-1 earlierthis season during an 0-3start.

“We played very toughteams early on,” Plainvillecoach Leszek Wrona said. “Itold the girls you learn fromyour mistakes, and they did.They’ve played every gamebetter.

“We’ve gone over and overwhat we need to do and it wastime to step up and play. I toldthem to have fun and proveyou can do it, and that’s whatthey did. This is how we will

have to play in the tourna-ment.”

It’s no surprise seniorAlyssa Martino was in themiddle of things forPlainville, which headed

into this week with a mark of6-4-1. She has been at thefront of the class all season.Martino, who has committedto Providence College on ascholarship, scored in each

game last week to push herseason total to 23 goals.

Martino moved from cen-ter midfield to forward thisyear and the Blue Devils’ of-fense has flourished, scoring

36 goals in the last eightgames — a stretch in whichPlainville went 6-1-1.

“She’s a special player,”Wrona said. “She’s a greatathlete, she understands herrole and listens well. She doeseverything possible to helpher team win and her team-mates are helping her.”

Tiana Saraceno switchedwith Martino, taking over thecenter midfield spot to playalongside talented Jill New-ton. That has allowed Marti-no to get in closer to goal forher chances, somethingWrona said was missing attimes last season.

“[Saraceno] has done atremendous job,” Wronasaid. “She came to me andsaid she wanted to try it. Itgives [Martino] much morefreedom up top.”

Martino, also a top stu-dent, is tall at 5 foot 9 and anoutstanding athlete. The BlueDevils are always looking forher and Martino has deliv-ered, finding space withstrong runs like the one shemade to score and cut thelead to 3-2 against Berlin lastweek.

Wrona said he sees a differ-ence this season in Martino,an All-Northwest Conferencepick who tallied 15 goals and13 assists in 2008 when theDevils finished 9-9-1.

“She’s more mature as aplayer, she controls the balland she can execute her skillsbetter,” Wrona said. “She haslearned when to deliver ashot, when to pass, when todrop.”

Ties no longer acause for celebration

By Nick CarrollThe Plainville Citizen

Although a tie inches itcloser to its goal of earning aspot in the state tournament,for the Plainville HighSchool boys soccer team, astalemate is no cause for cel-ebration, as it had been just afew short years ago.

The Blue Devils settled fora 1-1 tie with visiting BerlinFriday night to move to 5-5-1on the season. Heading intothis week, the locals were ahealthy 5-2-1 in the CentralConnecticut Conference-South Division.

“A tie right now, if any-thing, is a disappointment,”Plainville coach Tim Brownsaid. “We’re out to win everysingle game we can.”

The fact that the Blue Dev-ils out-played Berlin (4-6-1)

made the tie even harder toswallow. “That draw was nota justified result,” Brownsaid. “It was a game thatshould have been awarded tous.”

Berlin coach Dave Fran-calangia saw things a bit dif-ferently. “We were pressingand pressing. Their keepercame up with a couple ofgreat saves. They hit the posttwice. So I guess it was a jus-tified result,” Francalangiasaid.

Two Plainville playerswere hit with yellow cards inthe tie. Brown was not upset,however; he thought hisguys were playing good,physical soccer.

“In our style of play, thegame I promote, there is nosuch thing as a 50-50 ball.

At press time, AlyssaMartino, pictured in ac-tion against Berlin lastweek, had netted a hefty23 goals for the 6-4-1Plainville High Schoolgirls soccer team.

Coach expectsa strong finish from

Sabel, girls swim teamBy Nick Carroll


Last year, Plainville HighSchool swim coach RandyDoucette referred to VikkiSabel as his team’s go-to girl,as the versatile junior wouldcompete in any event she wasasked to. “I had her doingeverything,” Doucette said.

But this season, the veter-an coach decided to haveSabel focus on the 200- and500-freestyle, and the seniorcaptain has responded, earn-ing steady points forPlainville in those races.Currently, she is closing inon state qualifying times inher freestyle events.

Doucette has been pleasedwith Sabel’s progress sinceher freshman year. “Her me-chanics have gotten a lotsmoother,” he said. “She’sbeen able to adapt to distanceevents really well.”

A nagging arm injury hasnot altered Sabel’s work eth-ic, Doucette added, pointingout that when she feels pain,she simply ices her arm, thenhops back in the pool.

Not surprisingly, Sabel hasthe respect of her team-

mates. She wasnamed a teamcaptain this sea-son. “The kidslike her. She’salways trying tohelp somebody,”Doucette said.“She has al-

ready indicated that shewants to help with the middleschool kids.”

Since her skill trajectory isstill rising, Doucette wouldlove to see Sabel test herselfat the college level. “She hasthe kind of stroke that wouldreally respond well to collegetraining,” he said.

Last week, Sabel and theyoung Lady Blue Devilsdropped to 2-5 on the seasonwith a loss to Maloney. DiverMillie Mills notchedPlainville’s only first placefinish that afternoon.

Despite coming up shortagainst Maloney, Doucettesaid his troops are heading inthe right direction andshould be firing on all cylin-ders just in time for thechampionship meets. “Fri-day was a good indicator thatwe’re on the right track,” hesaid.

Matches look a bit different this yearBy Nick Carroll


High School volleyballfans may have noticed thatcoaches are a bit more mo-bile this season. That’s be-cause a new rule enacted thisyear allows coaches to followthe action by moving along aportion of the sideline infront of their team’s bench,just as basketball coachescan do.

Veteran Berlin HighSchool volleyball coach BobTarigo, for one, approves ofthe rule change. “It putscoaches in more contact withthe players,” he said. “I like itbecause I’m more involved.”

Tarigo said his players ap-preciate the up-close coach-ing, as well.

Like Tarigo, Plainville vol-leyball coach Steve Compsonhas enjoyed the freedom ofmoving along the sideline.

“It’s great,” he said. “Underthe old system, betweenpoints, you could get up andsay a few things and then runback to your seat. It seemed alittle silly to me, as I madethe switch from hoops to vol-leyball. Now I can pace andwork a trench into the courtjust like I did in basketball. Agood rule change. With allthe noise after a point, youneed to get a little closer tomake a point or to congratu-late.”

Another rule put intoplace this year allows volley-ball players to touch the ballwith any part of their body,rather than just their handsor arms. The rationale being,allowing legal contact of theball with any part of thebody will assist in keepingthe ball in play, and providelonger, more exciting rallies.

Coach Tarigo, however,hasn’t seen too many in-

stances where a ball waskept alive using feet, knees,or a head. “I don’t know anycoach who’s teaching that,”he said with a laugh.

MartinoContinued from page 30

Wrona said Martino andfellow senior tri-captainsChelseah Carroll and Sara-ceno have been good leaders,setting a strong example forthe younger players withtheir work ethic. “The play-ers are all good friends offthe field,” Wrona said.“That’s important.”

The Blue Devils allowedjust five goals in their six-game winning streak, led by

goalie Carroll and defenderLauren Mankowski, both All-NWC picks in 2008. Wronasaid Lexxi Carroll, who hecharacterizes as a central de-fender/midfielder/forward,has also been a major factorall over the field. “She’s agreat athlete,” Wrona said.“She has good speed andskills.”

The support has helpedMartino, and the senior hasrun with it. Now Martino andher teammates are intent onfinishing strong. The Devilsbested all five teams they facedown the homestretch.

That’s a ball you have to win.Period,” said Brown. “Theboys play tough, hard-nosedfutbol.”

Plainville held a com-manding lead in shots on goalagainst Berlin, but managedto put just one in the back ofthe net. Brown knows theBlue Devils need to do a bet-ter job finishing their scoringchances. “There are too

many opportunities we donot capitalize on. We’reworking on that,” he said.“This time of year games gettighter. We need to start fin-ishing our chances.”

Daquan King scoredagainst Berlin, which got onthe board first. King was setup by Allen Mehmedovic andDanny Mizura.

Brown praised Mizura’splay. “Mizura completelydominated the midfield. Hewon everything on theground, everything in theair,” he said. “When he’s onform there’s just none bet-ter.”

At press time, Plainville

had five games remaining onits slate and was just one winor two ties away from earn-ing a spot in the state tourna-ment.

A team must win theequivalent of 40 percent ofits 16 regular season gamesin order to qualify for thepostseason. The Blue Devilswant to do more than justsneak into the tournament,however.

“We’re committed to win-ning every match going for-ward. Nothing less than thatwould be acceptable,” Brownsaid.

“We will get in the tourna-ment; I guarantee that.”

Is help on the way?

The news isn’t all bleak in regards to the Plainville High School football pro-gram. The PHS freshmen team is 2-2 on the season. Pictured: The freshmensquad battles Bloomfield recently. The Blue Devils won that game, 42-6.Plainville will face Fermi Friday, Oct. 30, at Linden Street School. Game time is3:45 p.m.

“It wasn’t in the cards,” shesaid, adding that after shewas first elected to the coun-cil, she became that board’schairwoman.

She said the better accom-plishments of her career in-clude successfully openingConnecticut Commons onNew Britain Avenue, work-ing with former state Rep.Angelo Fusco, who was fromSouthington, to piggybackthe Plainville portion of theenterprise zone on the origi-nally designated Southingtonpart and finally, the success-ful referendum that led toPlainville buying the historicRobertson Airport.

There is a big mystery in the world.Animals are disappearing, and no oneknows exactly why. Bees, bats, frogsand other amphibians are vanishing.

There are a lot of ideas about this.Experts believe the disappearancesand deaths are happening for amixture of reasons.

If so many animals are in trouble, itmay mean the Earth is in trouble too.The Mini Page talked to scientists todiscover more about these mysteries.A perfect storm

Experts believe there may bemany causes joining together to killoff certain animals. Some expertsare calling this mixture of dangers a“perfect storm.” The dangersall come togetherto make thesituation evenworse. Forexample, climatechange may putso much stresson an animalthat it gets sick easier.

Pollution and pesticides maybe weakening animals’ immunesystems. The immune system helpsthe body fight off sickness.

In America in 2006, honeybeesbegan abandoning theirhives and disappearing.No bodies of the missingbees have been found.No one knows wherethey went or what happened to them.

Each year since then, therehave been more of these strangedisappearances. Experts say morethan one-third of all honeybees havedisappeared in the United States.

One day bees would be swarmingaround their hives, apparentlyhealthy. Then, all of a sudden, all theworker bees would vanish, desertingtheir hive, the queen, honey stores andyoung bees.

Other bees would avoid the desertedhives, not even trying to get the honeysitting there unguarded.

Scientists call this strange eventColony Collapse Disorder, or CCD.

A Varroa mite, or tinyspider-like creature,rests on the back ofa honeybee. Expertsbelieve this mite maybe one of the causesof bee disappearances.Many other dangers,such as pesticides,global warming, manyviruses hitting at once,and modern beekeepingpractices may be addingto the problem.
