A public hearing will be held Monday, Aug. 18 at 7:30 p.m. at the municipal center when citi-zens can voice their opinion on whether or not to demolish the Old Linden Street School.
After residents have their say, the Town Council will vote on an ordinance prepared by Doug Gillette of Day Pitney, Plainville’s bond council. If the ordinance is adopted, a refer-endum will be held on Nov. 4.
According to Town Manager Robert E. Lee, the total cost of the demolition project would be $2,385,813. Lee also said that the State Department of Educa-tion has “reopened the Linden
Street School Construction Grant.” The town manager said the grant would lower the town’s cost to $851,974.
In a phone interview, Plain-ville Superintendent of Schools Jeffrey Kitching said that the Board of Education “doesn’t have any use for the building,” and feels that “demolition is the most prudent option.”
If demolition is approved, Lee said the OLSS would be-come part of school grounds, and that of all the ideas that have been spoken of, “in-creased parking has been men-tioned the most … It becomes a hectic area with people picking up children.”
Not everyone is on board with the demolition plan.
“We have to save it,” resi-dent Joanne Edmunds said. “It is built like a fortress and looks better than the new (Linden school). Take some of the $33 million given to the schools and give it to the people to save OLSS. It really behooves peo-ple to get off their couches and rally around this cause.”

We are all the same.This is the lesson that Car-
mine Lalama has learned through his experiences.
Before settling down and marrying his love, Roberta, in 1991, the local resident and artist lived a life on the edge in many cases. He spent years on the run. It started when he came to the United States as an immigrant.
“I arrived here from It-aly on July 31, 1956 from the U.S.S Independence with my family when I was nine,” said Lalama as he sat down with The Citizen.
Since then, Lalama has met people throughout the country, from all different backgrounds, and it started in Hartford. He grew up on
Franklin Avenue, and said he never had a hard time adjust-ing to the culture of the city. It was a United Nations of cultures with Spanish, Italian, and Polish people in different neighborhoods.
Years later, Lalama lived in Wyoming and said he both witnessed and took part in the hiring of illegal immigrants. He alleged that while working at Neosho Railroad Station, he saw illegal immigrants from Mexico hired.
Later on, while working as a Veterans Representative for the state, he helped a man get a job after he “crossed the bor-der with his pregnant wife.”
“They had a baby born in the U.S., and the baby and mom could stay, but the Feds wanted to send (the father) back,” Lalama said. “I thought, ‘Wait a minute, either send them all back or keep them all here; don’t split up the families.’”
Lalama said that he referred various other undocumented workers to construction agen-cies when they came to him looking for work. His motiva-tion for helping these people in need came from experi-ences he had in his younger years.
The first time Lalama ran away from home – in Decem-ber 1963 – he was just 16. He hitchhiked to New York City before heading for Florida. During this time he went to Pittsburgh and Detroit as well.
“I slept in subways, pan-handled, and hung out in Times Square but didn’t ac-tually go to any places there. Then I hitchhiked to Florida for the warmer weather, and also went to Pittsburgh and Detroit. I also saw something (down south) that I remember like it was yesterday,” Lalama said. “A ‘Whites Only’ sign

Get ready to have some fun.The Plainville Recreation Department
will host a Fun Day at Norton Park Friday, Aug. 15, with activities going from 1 to 2:30 p.m. The fun includes creating tissue flow-ers, pony rides, a button maker, tattoos, and a dunk tank.
Also, there will be a magic show per-formed by The Great Leone.
Kelly McCabe, camp coordinator for the Recreation Department, said face painting,
thumb prints, and spin art will also be in-cluded in the day’s offerings.
“This has been going on for around 10 years,” McCabe said. “We normally get around a couple hundred in attendance.”
McCabe said the town carnival was the forerunner to Fun Day.
A recreation department press release ex-plains that Fun Day is the “grand finale to the summer programs,” and “all activities are structured to serve children ages 3-11.” While admission is free, there will be a small charge for refreshments and balloons, which will help to defray the cost of the event.

Scholarship available for career trainingMain Street Community
Foundation is accepting scholarship applications from local residents for the Doug-las Roland Aid for the Trades Scholarship Fund. The fund provides financial assistance to students of all ages and ac-ademic levels entering career training programs.
Scholarship applicants must be enrolled or accepted
in a certification or skilled-trade program that would be completed in two years or less. Students can be seeking training in a line of work such as plumbing, manufacturing, automotive, culinary, educa-tion or allied health care pro-grams among others.
The Douglas Roland Aid for the Trades Scholarship Fund was established in

Lalama
hung on the door of a restau-rant. It was a different culture, a sharp contrast from what I saw in the northeast. You real-ized that other people had dif-ferent ideas and different ways of thinking.”
While in Jacksonville, Lalama was arrested for breaking a 10 p.m. curfew for minors when police saw him out at midnight. He spent the next three weeks in a juvenile detention center before being reunited with his parents. He had been away for a month.
It was not long before Lalama was on the road again, this time, running away from St. Francis Hospital. Lalama said he got upset with all the questions nurses asked him regarding his behavior.
“After I threatened to run away again, the nurse gave
me a shot and I didn’t come to until I was at Norwich State Hospital, a mental health asy-lum. Conditions there were horrible,” Lalama said. He was eventually transferred to the Institute of Living and re-leased after 30 days.
When he was 18, Lalama joined the Marine Corps. Af-ter basic training at Parris Island, he was assigned to Camp Geiger in North Caro-lina. There he, again, thought of running away but realized that he had to grow up, and that he couldn’t just “go back to Mommy and Daddy.”
Lalama ended up getting a gem of an assignment during a time of war. He was sta-tioned in Bermuda. “This goes against the notion that rich kids and those with polit-ical connections were kept out of Vietnam,” he said. “There was a point in my life that I
felt guilty because I didn’t get sent to Vietnam. There is a guilty feeling knowing that some of the guys you served with didn’t come back. After a while, you start to thank your luck. Would I be here today if I went? Would I be the same person?”
In 1977, Lalama went to Wy-oming to find work in the oil industry. He said he helped build Wright, Wyoming from 1978 to 1979. Wyomingtour-ism.com describes Wright as a “small, close-knit commu-nity” which “sits right in the heart of the Thunder Basin National Grassland and coal mining country.”
In 1981, Lalama returned to Connecticut and found work as a maitre d. In the late 80’s, he managed a masseuse par-lor which was closed down in 1996 when, according to Lalama, “neighbors com-plained that the parlor caused home values to go down.”
Recalling some of his co-workers at the parlor, Lalama said one should never judge a book by its cover. “Some of them had Ivy League degrees,” he said, “and one saved the money and had a $600-$700,000 house in New Hampshire.”
These days, Lalama enjoys creating artwork, including the decorated work he did on his ceiling. He has a great pas-sion for art, notably painting.
As for finding adventure on the road, Lalama encourages young people to go for it.
“If you get the chance to do something like this when you are young, do it. You won’t get the chance at 40 or 50,” Lalama said.
“I have a greater apprecia-tion for animals and people, no matter what walk of life,” he said. “I was able to experi-ence people from all walks of life, and we are all the same.”

One-hundred ten students participated this summer, Sanders said. “We incorpo-rate reading, math, and art,” he explained, pointing out that every class has 30 min-utes of art each day.
Many of these young Picas-so’s found out just how much they enjoy being creative.
“I worked really hard at my Starry Night mural. It in-volved the whole school,” student Jacob Keen said. “I like how you can sketch your feelings in art.”
Elayna Fontanez did a but-terfly painting using blue and
purple as two of the colors. She gets her artistic motiva-tions from what she sees on the big screen.
“I watch movies and I try to copy what (the animators) draw,” Elayna said. “My fa-vorite movie is Aladdin, and I have tried to copy from it.”
Art teacher Jessica Ryan, a graduate of Southern Connecticut State Univer-sity, worked with the young artists.
“I love children, I lived with my cousin who had six kids, and I became like a nanny to them,” she said.
Ryan helped the students with Starry Night by draw-ing the format. But the piece only became whole after the youngsters got involved.
“The kids really got into it,” the teacher said.
From Page 1Connecticut middle school students are welcome to

School
bathrooms, the nurse’s room, and the principal’s office. Ac-cording to Brown, that ad-dition was to “have a new cafeteria, combination gym and auditorium, six new classrooms, and extra storage space.”
Resident Helen Bergenty has been actively looking for someone to “convert the school.” When Bergenty spoke to some members on the building committee, she said it would cost around “$4-5 million” to do so.
“If voters defeat demoli-tion,” Bergenty said, “then ev-eryone has to get together. It could be like a condo set up; each club in Plainville could have their own room, General Electric could put in a mu-seum, the Plainville Historic Society could have a room…”
Echoing that thought, Ed-munds said: “The Boy Scouts, the Girl Scouts, the Rotary Club, the Lions Club; we could have these groups meet here.”
Local Architect Charles Ny-berg said he was approached by Bergenty to see if he would
be interested in working on her committee to save the building.
“If the town has a success-ful referendum to save the building,” Nyberg said, “I will get involved to see if I can save it. I can’t believe that something could not be done with this building.”
For his part, Lee said that he hasn’t heard from any clubs that would actually use the building, and he doesn’t think the Town Council has either. In addition, he cites several reasons that he feels the building would not serve as a potential financial wind-fall for the town.
“The lack of parking, the location of the school, and the condition of the building would prevent this from being a financial gain for Plainville,” the town manager said.
Indeed, a tour inside the building with Steve Busel, facilities director with Plain-ville Community Schools, did show The Citizen mold that has been growing on the walls throughout the school. And walking through the audito-rium, it appeared the struc-ture was out of date.

Commentary
In the second part of this se-ries, reporter Charles Kreutz-kamp visits towns served by Record-Journal Weeklies to search for Geocaches. SPOILER ALERT: specific details ahead. For last week’s story, visit http://tinyurl.com/RJCache1.
North Haven holds a special place for me – my first assign-
ments as a re-porter were for The North Haven Citi-zen – so I was eager to re-turn to search for caches.
The same day we vis-ited North Haven, a new Geocache was
published titled “Beat the Heat – Lollipop” on a residential front lawn. This cache, a “park and grab” or “P&G” (Geocach-ers seem to love their abbre-viations) was found by three people the same day it went live. This cache was praised by its seekers, and sounded like a fun find.
Meanwhile, HisGirlFriday and Your Friendly Neighbor-hood Reporter (the Geocach-ing names of this reporter and his fiancée, Kate) were driving in circles, failing to find “mi-cro” sized caches, and walking into poison ivy.
If there’s one thing we learned this week, it’s that preparation is key: When we head out for next week’s col-umn, we’ll be sure to plan
which caches to seek after in advance, with plenty of time to consider difficulty and route. One limitation of the free Geocaching app is that it only shows caches near you, but the website has no such limitations.
After our failed attempt at a micro near the center of town, we scoped out North Haven for a good hiking trail. That is what brought us to the lovely Quinnipiac River State Park – eventually. When we first asked the GPS to bring us to the park, it instructed us to drive up 15. We complied, and a couple miles out of North Haven, and nowhere near any sort of legal parking, the phone proudly declared, “You have arrived.”
After turning around in Wallingford, we finally found our way to the trailhead using good old-fashioned map-read-ing. The trailhead, as it turns out, is nestled behind a rest stop right off of 15. As Geo-cacher ctvalleygirl put it, “Who knew there’s a trail (paved no less) in the back of the rest stop?”
We quickly set off to start finding caches. The first one we went for gave us an excel-lent hint: we would find the cache hidden “in the crotch of a three-trunk tree.”
Once our GPS made clear that the cache laid off the trail and into the underbrush, I found myself hesitating, try-ing to call to mind an image of a specific leaf.
I should have thought to
voice my concern before Kate, wearing shorts, walked straight into a patch of poison ivy, which I successfully rec-ognized moments later. Being from Indianapolis, my fiancée had never even seen a poi-son ivy rash in person before, much less the plant.
A quick read of some of the comments on the Geocache might have warned us of the presence of the poison ivy as well – again, preparation was the lesson of the day.
With that ship sailed, we fig-ured we may as well go after our quarry – so we tramped through a sea of the stuff, eyes peeled for a three-trunked tree.
This Geocache is the first one I spotted before Kate did: several sticks and pieces of bark were piled against a tree, but a tiny bit of green and blue shown through the debris.
With this cache found and the logbook signed, we rushed to the car and went roaring back home. There are con-flicting ideas out there about how long it takes poison ivy to set in – so we kept our fin-gers crossed that we would get home in time.
Unfortunately I must re-port that my fiancée is now intimately familiar with the poison ivy rash. We live and learn!
Thanks to our awesome readers for all their excellent advice and kind feedback!

ObituariesJames R. Pavano Jr. PLAINVILLE — James R. Pavano Jr., 72, of Plainville,
passed away p e a c e f u l l y at his home with his fam-ily by his side on Fri-day, Aug. 8, 2014, after a brief illness.
He was the devoted hus-band of Bernadette (Rund) Pavano, with whom he shared 42 years of mar-riage. Born in New Britain on March 4, 1942, he was the only son of the late James and Jane (Roskof-ski) Pavano. At the age of ten, Jim’s family moved to Plainville, where he at-tended local schools, and graduated from Plainville High School in1960. Af-ter graduating, Jim en-listed in the U.S. Marine Corps and embarked on a four-year journey that took him throughout Southeast Asia. He was honorably discharged in 1964, proudly receiving his Good Conduct Med-al. Jim always held true to his Marine Corps roots as an active member of the Hardware City Marine Corps League, VFW Post #574, and American Le-gion Post #33, and was a
member of the Bristol Elks Lodge #1010. Jim capital-ized on his military train-ing, holding a professional career as an HVAC tech-nician for 37 years with Mechanical Maintenance Corporation, from where he retired in 2008. A sports enthusiast, he was an avid fan of the New York Yan-kees, the New York Giants, and the UCONN men’s and women’s basketball teams. Along with his wife, Ber-nadette, he leaves his sis-ter, Janice Gonsalves, and her husband, Al, of Bristol; as well as his sisters-in-law, brothers-in-law, niec-es, nephews, his beloved dog, Bellarose, and many lifelong friends. Funeral services in cel-ebration of Jim’s life were held on Tuesday, Aug. 12, at 11 a.m. at Bailey Funeral Home, 48 Broad St., Plainville, followed by committal services with military honors at St. Mary Cemetery, New Britain.

Opinion
We asked our Facebook fans a back-to-school question July 28, noting that Day 1 was just one month away. We wanted to know what sorts of trends to expect in our local towns and asked parents to tell us “What’s involved in getting your student back in the routine?”
Not surprisingly, people baulked at the idea of even considering the specter of sum-mer coming to a close. We explained that as a weekly publication we needed to prepare stories ahead — and school doesn’t start after Labor Day like in the good old days.
But it was fun to see how fiercely we want to hold onto those all-too-fleeting lazy days.
However, a couple of folks did weigh in on the process of getting their students school-ready. Read on for the comments, thumbs up and thumbs down.
Thumbs downFan: Stop, some of us are still doing summer
school. Please let us have a summer...Fan: You just lost all of the teachers...it is
still July!Fan: Too early to talk about this, lol!!
Thumbs up Bedtime routines were the top concern of
those parents who offered advice on re-insi-tuting student readiness.
Fan: Bed times, making their beds (we let bed making slide in the summer.)
Fan: We slowly push their bedtime back to their school bedtime. A few weeks before school starts, we push bedtime back by 30 minutes at a time (so from 9:30 to 9 one week, then 9 to 8:30 the next week, then 8:30 to 8 the week before school). This way, they ar-en’t shocked by a sudden change in bedtime.
Facebook feedback on back to school
Dept. of Education offers resources for parents, studentsAs attention turns to the
start of a new school year, parents, students and educa-tors may want to take a look at the many resources pro-vided by the state’s Depart-ment of Education.
Updates on topics such as bullying and a new website that addresses teen dating vi-olence can be found at sde.ct.gov.
There is a wealth of infor-mation on every topic that affects the success of individ-uals, families and communi-ties. For instance: nutritional programs, special education initiatives, and help for En-glish language learners. Those families with older students can check out fi-nancial aid and support for students researching col-lege options. Learn about the “green” schools envi-ronmental collaborative and how your school can become healthier and more efficient.
Educators and potential educators can learn about certifications and other ad-vancements available to them in their careers.
Here are just a few exam-ples of topics the state’s edu-
cation department discusses at length on its website.
Connecticut Green Leaf Schools
“Leaf” stands for “leading, educating, achieving and fos-tering” healthy green schools for all.
The Connecticut Green LEAF Schools Program is a collaborative effort of the Connecticut Departments of Construction Services, Education, Energy and En-vironmental Protection, and Public Health, as well as other Connecticut envi-ronmental and educational organizations.
The collaborative provides strategies and resources for communities that want to pursue goals such as “inter-disciplinary learning featur-ing relationships between the environment, energy and human systems, civic engage-ment with the local commu-nity” as well as connections to science, technology, engi-neering and mathematics.
The initiative also helps school with health programs, fitness standards, and reduc-ing the environmental im-pact and cost of operations.
This includes maximizing energy and water efficiency, recycling programs and al-ternative transportation use.
All Connecticut schools, kindergarten through 12, are eligible to participate. The process begins with a formal statement of the Principal’s Commitment.
According to the depart-ment: “Studies show that a green school raises stu-dent academic achievement, saves money and improves the health of students and staff. Schools with strong environmental literacy ed-ucation provide a focus for learning in all content areas and builds critical thinking skills, allowing students to become more engaged and empowered to make a dif-ference in their school and community.”
New webpage on teen dating violence
The department has launched a new webpage to provide educators with in-formation and resources on Teen Dating Violence.
According to the Cen-ters for Disease Control, one in four teens will expe-
rience dating abuse during this coming year. Results from the 2009 Connecticut School Health Survey indi-cate that about 17 percent of Connecticut high school stu-dents have been in a verbally abusive dating relationship in the past year, 10 percent in a physically abusive dating relationship in the past year, and 7.4 percent were forced into sexual intercourse.
Per Connecticut Gen-eral Statue Section 10-220a, each local or regional board of education is required to provide in-service training programs for its teachers, administrators and pupil personnel on teen dating vio-lence and domestic violence programs. The Teen Dating Violence webpage includes a fact sheet, a webinar and other resources that support implementation on the local level.
Bullying and harassment Federal and state laws,
as well as local school poli-cies exist to protect students from bullying and harass-ment. Each school district is required, by law, to have pol-icies and practices in place
as well as designated indi-viduals to handle complaints. There are two major legisla-tive acts, and a key federal law that are relevant:
“Bullying cannot be a rite of passage in our nation’s schools. Instead, our schools must be safe and nurturing environments that promote learning and full participa-tion by all students. Bully-ing, sexual harassment and gender stereotyping of any student, including LGBT stu-dents, have no place in our nation’s schools. We must work to stop those abusive behaviors when they take place, repair their harmful effects and prevent them from happening in the fu-ture. We will use every tool in our law enforcement ar-senal to ensure that all stu-dents have access to equal educational opportunity,” said Assistant Attorney Gen-eral for the Civil Rights Di-vision Thomas E. Perez at the 2012 National School Board Association, Council of School Attorneys.

Sports
I was challenged on Sunday.
I can’t lie; I was a little taken aback by it. I can’t re-member the last time I was challenged for anything, in-cluding a one-on-one basket-ball matchup, an epic dance battle, or a rousing game of “Go Fish.”
But I was called out by a close friend to take part in the Ice Bucket Challenge (IBC), a social media sensa-tion that is spreading across New England and sweeping throughout the country like
wildfire.The concept of the Chal-
lenge is simple: you have 24 hours to dump a bucket of ice water on your head. Should you choose to accept this challenge, you douse your-self with the aforementioned ice water. Should you opt to remain warm and dry, you’re supposed to, instead, donate $100 to a branch of the ALS Association. Upon complet-ing the IBC, the participant is then supposed to nominate five new individuals to keep the movement going.
This challenge came to fruition a few short weeks ago in support of Pete Frates,
a former Boston College baseball player who was di-agnosed with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) back in 2012.
Since the IBC began, countless celebrities have taken part, and just about every other post in my Face-book news feed has featured someone drenching them-selves for the cause.
Even Frates’ wife, Julie, has seen the benefits of the Challenge begin to unfold. In a recent interview with Sally Holmes of Elle.com, Julie stated that “since Pete was diagnosed, his whole mission has been to spread awareness of the disease.”
They are raising awareness for a horrible disease, which is all well and good. But is the Challenge going about raising awareness the right way?
There are three parts to this trend that don’t quite make sense to me, and ulti-mately bring my list of con-cerns full circle.
First and foremost is the actual awareness the Ice Bucket Challenge is raising. For the common man, ALS may not be the most familiar disease in the world, yet cer-tain sports fanbases across the country are already aware of the illness.
Former New York Yankee and baseball great Lou Geh-rig suffered from ALS, and his name is used as a popular nickname for the disease. Former Boston Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling gar-nered awareness for the dis-ease in 2004 when he wrote “K ALS” on his cleats during the team’s postseason run. Also, former New Orleans Saints safety Steve Gleason was diagnosed with ALS in 2011, bringing further public-ity to the ailment.
Yet apart from those fan-bases, and now the Boston College Eagles family, what do people really know about ALS, and what has the Ice Bucket Challenge taught me directly? Unfortunately, not much.
Video after video, people say they’re bringing aware-ness to ALS. Based off the Merriam-Webster definition of the word “aware,” it shows they’re not.
“Aware” is defined as “hav-ing or showing realization, perception, or knowledge,” but 95-percent of the videos I’ve seen have only shown me that all anyone accept-ing the challenge knows about ALS is the name of the disease.

Challenge
Instead of telling me the name, tell me something I don’t know. Give me a fact or piece of information about the disease prior to soaking yourself.
I want to know who ALS can affect (Answer: everyone).
I want to know what part of the body ALS affects (Nerve cells of the brain and spinal cord, better known by their medical name of “motor neurons.”)
I want to know how many are battling this disease (Roughly 30,000 Americans at any given time, with ap-proximately 5,600 new diag-noses each year.)
Telling somebody some-thing about the illness would seem to increase one’s aware-ness much more than saying “you’re next.”
Which brings me to my next point: the word “or.”
Left or right. North Caro-lina Tar Heels or Duke Blue Devils. Soccer or futbol.
You can’t have both, so clearly you must choose. The
same seemingly applies for the Challenge. This word “or” that so many people have attached with their vid-eos puts nominees in an odd conundrum; do you choose to raise awareness or donate to the cause?
Frankly, I’d rather help raise awareness and donate.
So many videos I’ve seen don’t tell me that; it’s one or the other.
There have been a few that have altered the parameters of the Challenge: a smaller donation and ice water or a $100 donation, which I find to be a nice adjustment.
Speaking of the Challenge itself, it brings me to my final
rebuttal…The idea of challenging
others seems slightly juve-nile to me. I’m not saying that people’s hearts aren’t in the right place. It’s not as though I’m being presented with a college fraternity-type challenge that could have me wind up in a hospital. How-ever, it does seem a bit child-ish to call out your peers in front of others to either soak up or pay up.
I get it. People are taking part and daring others to try to spread knowledge about ALS, which I respect. Yet, cycling back to my first point, how much awareness is actu-ally being raised?
According to www.MyFox-Boston.com, the ALS Associ-ation raised $1.35 million over a two-week stretch from Tues-day, July 29 to Monday, Aug. 11. A spokesperson for the orga-nization said they only raised $22,000 in the same time pe-riod last year.
As for answering the Chal-lenge myself? I plan to stay dry and make a donation to the ALS Association. Not be-cause I was challenged, but because I choose to help out a good cause.
As for challenging other in-dividuals, I choose to abstain. Instead, I encourage those reading to do what they feel
is right.Should somebody read
what I’ve written and choose to challenge their friends, or donate to the ALSA (or any charity of their choice for that matter), that’s fine by me.
If someone reads what I’ve written and has come away from it more informed about ALS, I feel like I’ve made just as big a difference.
So I encourage you all: Do what you feel is right.
The clock is ticking. Your 24 hours start now.
