High school poolclosing for awhile

By Julie SopchakThe Plainville Citizen

As of April 1, thePlainville High School poolwill be closed for all recre-ational activities, leavingPlainville residents andcommunity groups highand dry until it reopens inSeptember.

As a result of a new poli-cy instituted by thePlainville Board of Educa-tion, the pool will nolonger be heated duringthat time. As a result, thePlainville Parks and Recre-ation Department has de-termined the pool waterwill be too cold to runscheduled programs.

“We asked for an addi-tional two weeks to com-plete our swim lesson pro-gram and remaining recre-ational programs and weretold it would cost $1,500 perweek to heat the pool waterfor those two weeks,” said

Assistant Parks and Recre-ation Director Kim Crow-ley in a written statement.“[It was] something wecould not afford.”

Crowley said all pro-grams will be curtailed atthe April 1 date, but someprograms have been ad-justed or cut out of neces-sity in order to completerequired courses.

Business Manager ofSchools RichardCarmelich III said the poolwas shut down in July andAugust of 2010 and an aver-age of $6,000 was saved ineach month.

“It’s my hope that comeApril, our savings will be alittle bit higher because it’scooler and it would havetaken a little more energyto heat the pool,” he said.

Carmelich said the clos-ing would last from April 1to Sept. 1, leaving the

Children’s choral groupbranches out to Toffolon

By Julie SopchakThe Plainville Citizen

Third- and fourth-gradersat Toffolon ElementarySchool will get a chance tobecome part of the MainStreet Singers children’schoral group without havingto go to the group’s head-quarters in New Britain.

“It’s been one of our goalsthe last couple years to reachout to the communities theMain Street Singers serve,”said Ken Quesnel, music in-structor at Toffolon and alsoboard member for the group.“We’re trying to go out intothose communities and dowhat we call ‘satellitechoirs,’” he said.

The program will be heldon Tuesdays after school for10 weeks starting on Jan. 18,which all culminates in aconcert in March where thegroups will all sing with theMain Street Singers.

The other two schools thatwill be part of the outreachare Union ElementarySchool in Farmington andVance Elementary School inNew Britain.

Main Street Singers Ad-ministrative Director NancyEaton said the outreach wasbased on the idea that withyounger kids, transportationcan sometimes be an issue.

“So having choirs in resi-dence in several differentschools will help us to ex-pand the program and reachout to more children andwork around the transporta-tion issue,” she said.

She added Toffolon waschosen specifically becauseQuesnel was a student of theartistic director.

“The same sort of musicalphilosophies and approacheswill be in place at Toffolon,”she said. “So it’ll be verycompatible with what’s donehere at the home base.”

Quesnel said most of whatthe Main Street Singers do ismulticultural music, tryingto reach a wide variety ofstudents. He said the stu-dents are also taught usingthe Koldaly Method, a Hun-garian method developed inthe beginning of the 20thcentury that is responsiblefor the “do re me fa so la tedo” progression that has be-

come so familiar to many mu-sic students.

“Unlike other methods, itcenters around singing most-ly,” Quesnel said. “It’s just ba-sically a method to teach chil-dren how to sing and readmusic through singing as op-posed to other methodswhich use instruments andthings of that nature.”

The Main Street Singers,formed in 2003, has per-formed many local, regional,and national events. Locally,the group sings two concertsannually at South Church.Other local performances in-

ToffeyContinued from page 1

2003, had no experience withpolitics prior to coming totown. She went from living ina place where she kneweveryone to moving to a placewhere she didn’t know the is-sues or who was running forpublic office, she said.

However, she foundPlainville a welcoming com-munity. “I got here, loved itand never left,” Toffey said.

When the RepublicanTown Committee had anopen house several years ago,she had the opportunity tomeet many residents activein politics. There were “newpeople, new ideas,” she said,which further fueled her in-terest. Getting more involvedwith the RTC, she was select-ed as chairwoman of the Re-publican Town Committee.

Her first foray into publicoffice was her run for the

BOE in 2007. In 2009, she ranfor a council seat withoutsuccess.

When the committee ap-proached her last month tofill the council seat, she washappy to serve the town. “I’mpleased with the supportfrom the [Republican] TownCommittee. It’s very gratify-ing.”

Toffey, 53, said she bringsvarious facets of her life intounderstanding the chargesof the council. Her fatherwas a Republican and hermother, a Democrat. As anadministrative assistant tothe deputy commissioner forthe Connecticut Departmentof Emergency Managementand Homeland Security, shesaid she understands budgetissues.

“It’s not going to be easierfor towns or the state,” shesaid. “Taxes will have to beraised or services cut. It’s adifficult year.”

One factor that made tran-

sition onto the councilsmooth for her is the fact thatshe knows many of the coun-cil members — Democratsand Republicans and has “agood report.”

In her bid for the schoolboard in 2007, Toffey an-swered a question in ThePlainville Citizen VotersGuide, “What are your toppriorities and how will youaddress them?” She replied,in part, “The main concernfor anyone elected to publicoffice is to work for the bet-terment of those who haveelected them. This meansworking together as a team,regardless of differences, toaccomplish the goals set be-fore the group. We should al-ways strive to advance to thefarthest place we can, whileusing the resources availableto us. Plainville does nothave an endless pot of gold. Iwill strive to get the biggestimpact from the money weare allocated, and whenever

possible, keep the budget rea-sonable for our citizens.̀”

In a second questionnairein The Plainville Citizen in2009, Toffey stated,“Plainville needs to be an at-tractive place to do businessand an effort to bring retail,industry and manufacturinginto town needs to be a prior-ity. This is the only way to in-crease tax revenue withoutplacing further burdens oncitizens.”

Toffey said her philoso-phies have not changed. Sheis aware that these are diffi-cult times and there is thelongstanding issue betweenthe council and BOE con-cerning providing financial

Occupational program supports Plainville MarinesOn Dec. 29, Cheshire Occu-

pational & Career Opportu-nities traveled to Plainvilleto provide the U.S. MarineCorps Reserve Unit with do-nated goods before their de-ployment to Afghanistan.

COCO felt that they shoulddonate items to those in needduring the holidays and whatbetter recipient than Ameri-ca’s Marines. The U.S. Ma-rine Corps Reserve Unit inPlainville will deploy toAfghanistan at the start ofthe New Year and they are al-ways in need of items forMarines.

Gunnery Sgt. Cullen saysthe Marines are grateful for

the donation, which came inthe form of anything fromhygiene products (such astoothpaste and deodorant) tocandy and beef jerky. Thesenovelties are things theMarines go without whileserving our country.

Charlie Conway, COCO ex-ecutive director, served inthe Marine Corps and standsstrongly behind COCO’s de-cision to help the troops.“The Marine Corps motto isSemper Fidelis which means‘always faithful’ and I can at-test that those that serve arefaithful to defending therights that we all often takefor granted. They do without

creature comforts and areseparated from their familiesto ensure that we are protect-ed from any harm. We need toremember the sacrifices theymake on our behalf and showthem the support and thanksthat they deserve,” Conwaysaid.

COCO, a non-profit organi-zation dedicated to providingjobs to developmentally dis-abled individuals, wanted tocelebrate this holiday seasonthrough helping others. Formore information aboutCOCO, visit the website atwww.cocoofcheshire.com orcall the office at (203) 272-5607.

heater off for five months. Ifthe estimated $6,000 permonth savings remain con-sistent, the BOE would saveabout $30,000 in pool heatingcosts.

BOE Chairwoman BeckyTyrrell said though the waterheating will discontinue, thechemical levels of the waterwill still be maintained andthe pool will still have waterin it.

“The pool isn’t closed, it’sjust going to be cold andthat’s one of the reasons I un-derstand the recreation de-partment would have a prob-lem using it,” Tyrell said.“But we just can’t afford touse the school budget to heatit for recreational purposes.”

Tyrell said the school’scurriculum use of the poolwill be finished by April 1.

Crowley confirmedTyrell’s statement, saying be-cause the pool is too cold, life-guards will not be put onduty, therefore necessitatingthe locking the doors to thepool and barring any publicuse.

“We cannot run programsin 70 degree water,” Crowleysaid. “It’s too cold, peoplewon’t come. It would be awaste of money to put guardsout when people aren’t goingto come to the pool anyway.”

Crowley said the Saturdaylearn to swim program willbe moved to Monday andWednesday evenings for themonth of March. The poolplay and diving programswere cut, and aqua aerobicswill run, but has been cutshort. Other programs thathave been affected are life-guard training, water safetyinstruction, parent/childaquatics, community swims,open swim, and family andadult swims.

Adviser of Venture Crew67 Perry Cole said his groupused the pool for specifictraining and evaluations,and will now have to find analternative, though having topay for pool use will hurtsince the budget of a non-profit organization like BoyScouts is very small.

“The only alternatives we

have, we’ll probably have topay for something,” Colesaid.

Cole said they might evenhave to just wait for warmerweather to go to a securedarea or an outdoor pool.

“We’re going to be doingwhite water rafting in thespring and just get the basicson how everybody swims,”he said. “As an adviser I liketo see what the members cando before we do it so they’renot in trouble when we go outon events.”

At Monday night’s boardof education meeting, JohnKisluk, of Plainville, spokeagainst closing the pool. “Idon’t think that’s right. Lookfor the money to keep it go-ing, to keep the pool open,”he said.

back then, and they did thesame thing, except I remem-ber the Hills across ViewStreet who had an outhouseand they were the first familyon the street to install a flushtoilet.

In talking with Doris Mis-

enti, she recalls her mothertelling her as a child, whileliving in an apartment, “…that behind the closed door isa ‘chemical toilet.” And LeoLavigne recalls their chemi-cal toilet on Englewood Av-enue in Plainville. However,prior to moving to Plainvillehe lived in New Britainwhere he had a flush toilet,which prompted me to go tothe Internet to find out whatyear flush toilets were invent-ed. It was not a single inven-tion, but the flush toiletevolved over a period of timefrom as far back as circa 26thcentury B.C. I do not recallour first flush toilet on LedgeRoad.

Ledgout to the summer pr

Carbon monoxide:the ‘silent killer’Submitted by

Larry Sutherland

The winter months arehere. As the mercury dips,some families, struggling topay their heating bills, willturn on the kitchen stoveburners and the oven in aneffort to take the chill off oftheir home. What these fami-lies don’t realize is how dan-gerous this practice can be. Agas oven or range top shouldnever be used for heating. Afire could start and poison-ous carbon monoxide (CO)fumes could fill the home.Any fuel-burning heatingequipment (fireplaces, fur-naces, water heaters, spaceor portable heaters), genera-tors and chimneys can pro-duce carbon monoxide.

According to the NationalFire Protection Association,there is an increased risk ofdying in a home fire duringthe winter season. December,January and February aregenerally the deadliestmonths for fire.

Often called a silent killer,CO is an invisible, odorless,colorless gas created when

fuels, such as gasoline, wood,coal, natural gas, propane,oil and methane, burn in-completely.

CO enters the bodythrough breathing. CO poi-soning can be confused withflu symptoms, food poison-ing and other illnesses. Somesymptoms include shortnessof breath, nausea, dizziness,light headedness orheadaches.

Everyone is at risk for COpoisoning, but infants, preg-nant women and people withphysical conditions that lim-it their ability to use oxygen,such as emphysema, asthmaor heart disease, can be moreseverely affected by low con-centrations of CO thanhealthy adults. High levels ofCO can be fatal for anyone,causing death within min-utes.

The goal of the PlainvilleFire Department is to reducethe number of carbonmonoxide incidents inPlainville and discourageanyone from using the rangeor oven to heat their home.

Install CO alarms inside yourhome to provide early warn-ing of accumulating CO.Have your heating equip-ment inspected by a profes-sional every year before coldweather sets in. Use genera-tors outdoors away from alldoors and windows andvents.

CO alarms are not substi-tutes for smoke alarms.Know the difference betweenthe sound of smoke alarmsand CO alarms.

Test CO alarms at leastonce a month.

If your CO alarm sounds,immediately move to a freshair location outdoors or by anopen window and doors andcall for help. Remain at thefresh air location until emer-gency personnel say it isokay.

If the audible trouble sig-nal sounds, check for low bat-teries or other trouble indica-tors.

Mary Ehrlich stands withtwo of her favorite water-colors.

Longtime Plainville resi-dent and artist, MaryEhrlich, is displaying 45 wa-tercolor paintings at thePlainville Public Library, 255Main St., through the end ofJanuary. The paintings wereselected because they wereamong the artist’s favorites.Many of them were doneduring weeklong paintingclasses where Ehrlich saidshe enjoyed improving hertechniques and talking oversupper with other membersof the class.

One of her favorites on

display is “Maine House forSale.” It is a picture of a run-down, but interesting, housein Boothbay that she “justfell in love with. I don’t thinkI’ll ever get over my likingfor it,” she said. She preferswatercolors to oil paints be-cause they are “light andfree” and the thin colors aremuch easier to work with.

Ehrlich, 87, has beenpainting for more than 60years. She started by study-ing with Plainville HighSchool art teacher, MarvinBachner. She continued her

studies at Central Connecti-cut State College, the Univer-sity of Hartford, TunxisCommunity College and vari-ous elder hostels. She haslived in Plainville since shewas 3 years old.

Donated blood supplies decline across state

Foundation grant aids hospital’sprogram for children in need

The severe winter stormimpacted blood collection, ac-cording to the American RedCross, and as donations typi-cally decline during the win-ter holiday season it is ex-pected that supplies could getcritically low.

All blood types are needed.Type O-negative blooddonors are especially neededas the inventory has droppedto critical levels. Type O-Neg-ative blood is the universal

blood type. It can be trans-fused to anyone and is oftenused in emergency situa-tions when there is no timeto obtain the patient’s bloodtype. Since Type O-negativeblood can be used for all pa-tients in need, it is criticalthat there is a sufficient sup-ply.

The American Red Crossneeds the help of all who areeligible to donate blood tomake an appointment. Thosewho were unable to keeptheir appointments due toweather conditions areasked to reschedule.

In the U.S., someone needsblood every two seconds.Every day, the Connecticut

Region must collect approxi-mately 650 units of blood justto meet the basic needs of pa-tients across Connecticut.

Individuals who are atleast 17 years old, weigh atleast 110 pounds and are ingenerally good health may beeligible to donate blood. Highschool students and donors18 years of age and youngeralso have to meet certainheight and weight require-ments. Bring a Red Crossblood donor card or otherform of positive ID when do-nating. To schedule an ap-pointment or to sponsor ablood drive, call (800) REDCROSS, (800) 733-2767, or vis-it redcrossblood.org today.

ing. Other concerns may in-clude disability and other ba-sic need benefits, utility is-sues, Medicaid and HUSKYconcerns, and educationalrights.

The MLPP serves childrenin Greater New Britain, in-cluding the towns of Bristol,Southington, Plainville, andBerlin, namely children andtheir families who are unin-sured, underinsured, andwith low incomes. The Hospi-tal of Central Connecticutwas the third hospital in thestate to initiate such a part-nership.

“The program would notbe possible without the sup-port of the American SavingsFoundation grant,” said Dr.Antoinetta M. Capriglione,chief of pediatrics, whoadded that grant funding hashelped provide physician ed-ucation on how to navigatethe legal system as it pertainsto children’s health, con-tributing to program growth.

In 2009, HCC’s MLPP pro-vided legal representation orconsultation for nearly 60area children. It also openeda part-time legal clinic atCommunity Mental HealthAffiliates in New Britain.

“We’ve seen some immedi-ate benefits regarding sub-standard housing, help withutility bills for chronically illchildren, and in trying tohelp impact the health ofchildren with asthma whereso many of the triggers arebased on their living condi-tions,” Capriglione said.

In addition to providing le-gal consultation for programreferrals and HCC-affiliatedproviders, grant funding willsupport training for physi-cians, other healthcareproviders and social servicestaff on legal issues affectingchildren’s health. Traininghas included education, bul-lying and adolescent confi-dentiality in healthcare. Thegrant will also support a fu-ture utility clinic at HCC tohelp low-income familiesmaintain utility services,

also needed for good healthoutcomes.

Attorney Jay Sicklick, di-rector of the CCA’s Medical-Legal Partnership Projec,t isgrateful to the American Sav-ings Foundation for its con-tinued program support. Thefoundation’s initial grant of$25,000 was made in 2008, theMLPP’s first year.

Sicklick said, “The MLPPcombines legal expertisewith pediatric care to helpvulnerable children accessthe services they need to livehealthy lives. The continua-tion of this program at TheHospital of Central Connecti-cut is critical to providing thesupport needed by so manyfamilies living in poverty inthe greater New Britainarea.”

Last week was a tough onefor the Plainville HighSchool boys basketball team.

Coming into the week, theBlue Devils were flying high,fresh off a championshipwin in the 11th Annual Ry-bczyk Memorial tournamentthat bumped their record to4-1.

However, since then,Plainville has hit a couplebumps in the road.

First, the Blue Devils fellto longtime rival Berlin, 54-43. Plainville got off to a slowstart that night but trailed byjust seven at halftime.

Despite keeping the gameclose, the locals nevermounted a serious comebackafter the break.

It was much of the samethree days later whenPlainville played CCC powerMaloney. Again, the BlueDevils got off to a slow start,turning the ball over andrushing shots. Despite that,

the locals got to within five,23-18, midway through thesecond quarter.

But as was the case in theBerlin game, Plainville could-n’t get over the hump. Mal-oney ended the first half witha 21-4 run and cruised to a 78-43 victory.

Despite the tough week,Blue Devil coach MarcWesoly remains confident.“We know what we didwrong. We didn’t execute de-fensively against Berlin andMaloney,” he said. “I thinkthat defense has been ourstrength in the four gamesthat we have won, and even inthe loss to Manchester. In thegames last week we justlacked communication, ag-gressiveness and defensiverebounds.”

Plainville has two oppo-nents on tap this week, Mid-dletown and Bristol Eastern.“I think were going to comeback,” Wesoly said.

With their record at 4-3 atpress time, it appearsPlainville has a good chanceof reaching the eight wins

necessary to qualify for thestate tournament. The BlueDevils last appeared in thepostseason in 2007.

PUBLIC BOATING COURSE

Citizen freelancer muses on Florida football road tripBy Jim Bransfield

Special to The Citizen

The folks in Florida arefootball-nuts, but that fanati-cism doesn’t necessarilymean they are willing to payto watch it.

I took in the Tampa BayBucs final home game withthe Seattle Seahawks. I had agreat seat in the end zone,just eight rows off the field.Got the ticket online at listprice and it was easy. It waseasy because only 45,000 fansshowed up in 65,000-seat Ray-mond James Stadium.

Every Bucs game wasblacked out because the Bucs— despite having a highlycompetitive team that was inthe playoff hunt until thePackers beat the Bears onthe season’s final day — did-n’t sell out a single game.

What’s that about the NFLbeing our national sport?

The day was Floridafrigid. The high temperaturewas 47 degrees and the windgusted to 50 miles-per-hour.On Clearwater Beach, thesand drifted across theBeachwalk and onto theroads along the beach. Itlooked like snow, but thatwas reserved for you folkswho enjoyed the Holidayblizzard.

While it was cold, the lo-cals thought it was the end ofthe world. They were bun-dled up in heavy coats, hats,mittens and scarves. But the45,000 who did show up forthe Bucs’ game enjoyedthemselves as the Bucs, ledby spectacular young quar-terback Josh Freeman,crushed the champions ofthe NFL West, a.k.a. the NFLWorst.

I had planned to tailgateprior to the game, but I fig-ured if I wanted tofreeze while tailgating, Icould have stayed home inConnecticut. So I retreated toLee Roy Selmon’s Restaurantfor some warm pregame in-door tailgating. Given thatthe Bucs’ game was a 4:15start, I could catch the 1p.m. games in comfort.

I ended up sitting next to aDetroit Lions’ fan who lovesXavier High of Middletown’sAmari Spievey, who playssafety for the Lions. So we

were able to share storiesand the Lions’ fan was fasci-nated with the story ofSpievey’s high school andcollege — Iowa — exploits.

Selmon’s — he was thegreat Buc player who wasthe Bucs first Hall of Famer— is hard by RaymondJames, about a mile from theballpark. Raymond James,by the way, is located rightacross the street from theNew York Yankees’ springtraining home, George M.Steinbrenner Stadium.

Selmon’s has a big circu-lar bar with TVssuspended in the middle ofthe circle and the joint hasTVss all over the room. It’snot as big as Rookies inCromwell, but nice. On gameday, they run specials on,uhh “lemonade”, so that wasgood. If you’re ever in thearea and go to LeeRoy’s, I suggest you avoidthe food.

I ordered meatloaf withmashed potatoes. I got twoalleged meatloaf pieces,each about the size of hock-ey pucks. Tasted like that,too. It included one icecream scoop of mashed pota-toes with maybe two table-spoons of gravy. On top ofthat, the drinks and foodwere served by waitstaffwho had personalities ap-proximating those of algae.

But it was warm, thelemonade was cheap andthey had big TVs.

On New Year’s Day I re-turned to Raymond Jamesfor the Outback Bowl. Yeah,

both Florida and Penn Statehad off years. They both had7-5 records, but hey, it’s PennState and Florida and it wasUrban Meyer’s last game asGators’ coach, so I figuredthe joint would sell out.

Nope.A bigger crowd showed up

than that for the Bucs —61,000 — and it was a lotmore fun, but still therewere 4,000 empty seats. Irooted for Penn State, mostlybecause Florida is just so an-noying. I guess it’s the TimTebow legacy, a player whomI found to be the single mostannoying sports figure ofthe last 10 years. That is, ex-cept for LeBron James, whois the all-time Most Annoy-ing.

I know he was a great col-lege football player, but hisin your face religious stuffwas so over the top. What,God only cared about theGators? And if so, explainthe 26 players arrested dur-ing Meyer’s term? But I di-gress.

The Florida fans are alsoannoying. When Floridatook the field, the Gator fansall cheered and the PennState fans were silent. WhenPenn State took the field, theNittany Lions fans cheered— and the Gator fans booed.Please, Penn State and coachJoe Paterno have more classin their pinky fingers thanboorish Florida will everhave.

The game was terrific. Ithelped that the temperaturewas 76 degrees. That enabled

me to tailgate and wanderthrough the pregame BowlBash near the south gate.The Philly cheesesteak wasreally good and yeah, I knowhow to eat it. You have tolean forward as you take abite because the juices andonions and peppers will fallout.

You mark yourself as arank amateur if you havecheesesteak stains on yourshirt. Me, I’ve been trainedby eating steak tip grinderson Yawkey Way outside ofFenway Park, so I know howto lean and eat.

The fans of bigtime col-lege football know the drill.They all participate in thecheers. The Florida band —the Penn State Blue Band ismuch superior — starts itsroutine and the fans knowby heart when to yell “GoGators.” But the Penn Statefans are much better. Halfthe place starts with “Weare...” then other half yell,“Penn State”... that goes onfor a few choruses then one

side yells, “Thank you...”and the other yells, “You’rewelcome.”

Classiest cheer ever.The game was back and

forth, up and down the field.Florida won it when a defen-sive back intercepted a passon what looked to be a PennState last-minute, game-win-ning drive. But the Lions area Big Ten team, so winningwasn’t going to happen. Thepass was returned for atouchdown and the Gatorfans, which made up about60 percent of the house,went nuts.

I sat with a grandfather,his son and grandson all ofwhom are Florida fans.Grandpa had attended Flori-da, but son attended the Uni-versity of South Florida andthe grandson is a junior inhigh school who wants to at-tend a small liberal artsschool in New England.

The last place the kidwants to go is Florida, but

dad-gum, you root for theGators. And everybodywears school colors. Every-body. The Penn State sec-tions were a sea of white, theFlorida rooters were deckedout in orange and blue.While the Penn State rooterswere as noisy as the Gatorfans, they were markedlymore well-behaved.

But maybe that’s me.When I look at 40,000 peopledoing the Gator chomp, itstrikes me as, well, silly. It’slike the Atlanta Braves fans— and the Florida State fans— who sing that goofy Indianchant and make the Toma-hawk chomp in unison.You’re adults, for heaven’ssake. Cheer, make noise, yellyour fool head off.But chomps in unison? Ahwell, just me.

What I am willing to makebook on is this. Urban Meyer— he was named after aPope, true story — left theFlorida job for health rea-sons and to spend more timewith his family. Bet thehouse he ends up a headcoach somewhere else. Hishealth will miraculously getbetter and his family will, ofcourse, want him to coachbecause that’s what he’s sup-posed to do.

Coaches don’t quit at 46,not when they have lived inthe rarified air of Florida.Hey, most people Joe Pater-no’s age are dead. He coach-es.
