Peter F. Chase, director of Plainville Public Library for the past 35 years, has been preparing to close the book on a long, satisfying and sto-ried career. Chase, who came to the Plainville post in early 1981, recently reminisced about the many changes he’s seen at the local library, and in library technology.

Chase, 65, will be honored at a reception Thursday, Nov. 19, 4 to 7 p.m., at the library, 56 E. Main St. “It’ll give a chance

to say goodbye to the people in the community,” he said, adding he enjoyed his stay. He invited anyone interested to stop by. Refreshments will be served.

Chase said the local li-brary and its technology have changed much since he first walked through the door at Plainville Library. Back then the library was 13,000 square feet. Today it is 30,000 square feet.

There were Veterans Day activities at all five Plainville public schools on Wednes-day, Nov. 11, from flag-waving ceremonies to school band performances, a breakfast for veterans and school assemblies.

A highlight of the day was the assembly at Linden Street School, where each class performed in front of an audience that in-cluded Superintendent of Schools Jeffrey Kitching and a number of veterans who were recognized by school principal Paula

Chase

called, describing the large laundry basket that was placed behind the door after business hours to catch re-turned books.

Today the library is a com-fortable, bright, state-of-the-art building that is decades different than the complex Chase knew in 1981. The orig-inal 1931 brownstone edifice was updated and renovated, but the 1960s addition was re-moved, replaced with a new wing that will last well into the 21st century.

The 1960s addition had issues, Chase said. He was happy local officials were able to save and incorpo-rate much of the original 1931 building into the design.

Chase came to Plainville af-ter a stint as director of the public library in Old Lyme. In his career, he also worked as a librarian or researcher for

different organizations and libraries, including the Pratt Library in Baltimore, Mary-land, and doing research li-brary work at Gulf Oil Co.

Originally, Chase wanted to be a history teacher, receiv-ing his undergraduate degree at the University of Rhode Island and his master’s in li-brary science at the Univer-sity of Pittsburgh.

When he first started his long career in library work, he helped with a bookmobile that provided a much-needed service to a large city.

“Today’s library is much like a community center,” Chase said, adding that many people have come to depend on it for research and cultural assistance. Chase predicts there will always be a need for books. While electronic versions of books and maga-zines are readily available, he said many people prefer tra-ditional books. Currently, Pla-inville Public Library boasts some 90,000 books and that number has stayed fairly con-stant during the past several years.

The local library has seven full-time and 12 part-time em-ployees. An elected library

board with six members oversees the library with 85 percent of the library bud-get coming as a department of the town government. The other 15 percent of the bud-get comes from endowments and grants. Plainville also has a very active Friends of the Library group that helps to provide items and help with needed programs.

While Chase has known for several months that he would be ending this chapter of his life in Plainville, just recently did it begin to sink in. On Oct. 27 he led his final book dis-cussion group, something he has done regularly through-out his tenure. “We were looking at ‘Practical Magic’ by Alice Hoffman,” he said. He said he will miss the inter-action with library patrons.

Chase and his wife, Re-becca, have two sons. The longtime library director said he will remain active in re-tirement, working around his home in Bristol. He refuses to be shelved, wanting to stay busy doing volunteer work and with the Plainville Cho-ral Society and local AARP. “I’m looking forward to the next chapter,” he said.

Assembly

Eshoo.Eshoo launched the event

by honoring veterans on the important day and then in-troducing each class, which gathered on a stage at one end of the gymnasium to perform. The kindergartners began the festivities, singing “Thank you, Soldiers,” and the first graders followed by singing a poem, “See the Veteran.”

The second graders sang “You’re a Grand Old Flag” as they held up small flags on stage.

The third graders recited a brief history of Veterans Day, which started as Armistice Day after World War I before becoming the holiday we know now celebrated every year on Nov. 11, the day the armistice that ended World War I was signed.

The fourth graders read a

Veterans Day poem that in-cluded the line, “The future is up to me, but I have veterans to thank for all that I can be.”

A group of fifth graders played “My Country ‘Tis of Thee” on recorders.

Eshoo concluded the event by naming the veterans in the audience, who then stood up and waved to the crowd of young students, who ap-plauded enthusiastically.

All 440 Linden Street School students participated in the Veterans Day event. “It was very good and the chil-dren worked hard on it,” Es-hoo said. “It was heartfelt and well done. I was very proud of everyone.”

Manager Robert Lee said.Plainville is the first Con-

necticut town to install LED street lights with ESCO in a program that was coordi-nated by the Connecticut Conference of Municipalities.

Kevin Maloney, a CCM spokesperson, said, “Plain-ville is a model that encour-ages other towns to go this route. They’re the first to take this important progressive step to provide lighting in a more cost effective way that will generate long and short term savings.”

Jack Hanley, director of business development at

ESCO said the cost of install-ing LED lights is $304 per fix-ture, which will cost the town $467,000. But $187,000 will be saved through an Eversource rebate, reducing the cost to $280,000. The town will also save $77,000 annually on the reduced energy cost of LED lights – $33,000 for LED lights compared with $100,000 for sodium lamps.

Lee said the move to LED lights “is a better way to do

things. We’ll save money on electric costs and get better performance from the LED lights.”

Plainville also plans to in-stall chips in some of the LED lights in the downtown area that will enable free Wifi ac-cess for residents. “We’re looking for advertisers who want to be on the network so we can generate revenue to pay for operational costs,” Lee said.

ESCO will work with the town to negotiate an agree-ment with Comcast, ATT or another Internet carrier to provide Wifi service.

Leaf collection runs through Dec. 1

A Bristol man faces charges after po-lice conducted an investigation into por-nographic and racist material being distributed around Berlin for two years.

Gilbert Levesque, 58, of 44 Spel-man St., Bristol, was arrested Mon-day, Nov. 9 and charged with 44 counts of second-degree breach of peace from Berlin police. He was charged with six counts of breach of peace, one count of risk of injury to a minor and impairing the mor-als of children from Southington police.

Deputy Berlin Police Chief John Klett said there have been numerous incidents of an individual distributing pornographic material and trash with “offensive and rac-ist remarks” handwritten. Klett said the incidents have been happening in the Sav-age Hill Road area for about two years. He added that similar incidents have been oc-curring all over the state for 13 years, in-cluding in Plainville.

Levesque was determined to be a sus-pect and served a search warrant for his home, Klett said. Police seized a significant amount of evidence. It appeared the dis-tribution was random and not targeted to-ward individual homes, Klett added. The items seized include the same type of im-ages police found distributed, such as por-nographic images and hand-drawn images.

Levesque was distributing materials in Southington because his brother lives there and they had issues with one another, Klett said.

Levesque was determined a suspect af-ter a detective conducting surveil-lance in an area where the material was previously dropped witnessed a man drop papers on the ground. The detective obtained a license plate number.

“It’s not a heinous crime against humanity,” Klett said. “It’s a quality of life issue.”

Southington Police Lt. Michael Baribault said on May 18 the de-partment received four complaints

from residents who found pornographic materials in front of their homes. Each piece of material had “vulgar and racist” sayings handwritten over an image, Barib-ault said. On May 21 and 24, more incidents of the materials were found, and in one in-cident the materials were found near an el-ementary school, close to young children, Baribault said.

Baribault noted the incidents have been happening for 13 years and there have been other similar crimes in Berlin, New Britain, Plainville and Old Saybrook.

Levesque was released on $5,000 bond from the Berlin police and was due in New Britain Superior Court on Wednesday, Nov. 18. Levesque was released on $5,000 bond from Southington police and is scheduled to appear in Bristol Superior Court on Monday, Nov. 23.

Man faces charges after allegedly distributing pornographic materialBy Lauren SievertSpecial to The Citizen

A local woman faces charges after police said she assaulted a 62-year-old neighbor and kicked the neighbor’s chihuahua.

Lynn Mansfield, 56, of 234 East St., Apt. 8, Plainville, was arrested Monday, Nov. 9 and charged with third-de-gree assault on an elderly person, third-degree assault, cruelty to animals, interfer-ing with an officer and sec-ond-degree breach of peace. She was released on $10,000 bond and is due to appear at Bristol Superior Court on Monday, Nov. 23. At the time of the incident, police described Mansfield as “in-coherent” and took her to an area hospital for an emer-

gency committa l based on her behav-ior. The incident be-gan on Oct. 23 around 6 p.m. when Mans-field knocked on a neighbor’s door, said police Lt. Nicholas Mullins. The woman, who was home alone, opened the door and was not familiar with Man-sfield. The woman’s chihua-hua got loose and ran outside the apartment. Mansfield kicked the dog twice and pushed the woman, caus-ing her to fall, Mullins said. When the woman got up and tried to get her dog, Mans-field grabbed the woman’s arm and closed the apart-ment door on it, Mullins said.

The resident was able to free herself, and Mans-

field began scream-ing expletives and punching the door. The woman went to another neigh-bor’s home for help once Mansfield left. The dog suffered minor injuries. The 62-year-old suffered a sprained wrist and

hematomas to her arm and shoulder, Mullins said. Po-lice described the incident as “random and unprovoked.”

While officers tried to talk with Mansfield, she opened the door of the police cruiser and said she wanted the po-lice dog inside to be “free.” Officers physically restrained Mansfield when she tried to open the door to the police cruiser a second time, Mul-lins said.

Health

Eat holiday favorites guilt freeIt’s totally possible to have

healthful and fun holiday celebrations. The key is to focus on balance and avoid overindulgence. Go ahead and eat some cookies or other holiday treats — just don’t eat everything in sight. Enjoy the treats you really love in moderation. If you try to be a martyr and avoid all “the bad stuff” it could end up backfiring and cause you to toss your healthy diet out the window. I’m not sug-gesting that you give your-self a full pass, but go ahead and have a little bit of your holiday favorites.

Here are a few simple tips to make the holiday season more healthful and less guilt ridden.

Make realistic goals. The holiday season is not the time to place added stress

on yourself. Use smaller plates if avail-

able when at a buffet-style party.

Try eating a healthy snack before going to a party to ease your hunger.

Conversation is calo-rie-free, but move away from the buffet so you won’t be tempted to eat while you talk.

Scope out the buffet be-fore you go up to make your selections.

Balance what you eat at parties with what you eat during the day.

Remember that bev-erages contain calories as well. Alcoholic bever-ages, home-made punches, and chocolatey beverages tend to have sneaky calo-ries that you may not bar-gain for. Consume these in moderation!

Watch your portion sizes

and take small “tastes” of high calorie dishes.

If you’re cooking your hol-iday favorites try tweaking the recipe.

There are plenty of ways to replace certain ingredi-ents in recipes to make your traditional holiday favorites more healthful. With these substitutions, I promise, no one will know the difference. In some cases it’s not even what you’re taking out but what you’re putting in that counts.

Try these …Replace heavy cream with

fat-free half-and-half or evaporated skim milk.

Replace a portion of white flour with 100 percent whole wheat flour.

In most recipes, you can slightly reduce the amount of sugar. Compensate with an extra dash of sweet fla-

vorings like vanilla extract or cinnamon. These give a hint of sweetness without the calories.

Use fewer chocolate chips or substitute dried fruits or nuts instead.

Combine 1/4 cup Greek yogurt with 1/2 cup butter to replace one cup of butter in a recipe.

Use two large egg whites in place of one whole egg.

There are lots of tips out there for ways to modify recipes without sacrificing flavor. So go ahead and give it a try.

Eat, drink and be merry without all the guilt and weight gain this year.

Happy holidays!The writer is a regis-

tered dietitian. She can be reached at Grant’s Nutrition and Wellness, in Berlin, at 860-357-2282.

In November, 2014, res-idents rejected a proposal to demolish the Old Linden Street School at a cost of $2.6 million. This past April they voted to approve the town budget which included funds for demolishing the school.

After all attempts to defray demolition were rejected, the town established plans to do it, and at the Town Council meeting on Nov. 16, Town Manager Robert Lee announced a demolition timetable that will see the old school taken down next summer.

“We expect the state to ap-prove our plans next week and then we’ll go out to bid,”

Lee said. Once the state ap-proves the plans, the town will receive a reimbursement of 64 percent of the money it spends on the demolition, which the town has budgeted $2,635,813 for.

“We expect to get the bids back in January,” Lee said.

The town plans to hire a single contractor to perform three phases of the job: sep-arating the old building from the new Linden Street School, removing hazardous waste materials from the old build-ing and completing the demo-lition of the old building.

“We can separate the build-ings over April vacation, re-move the hazardous materials in May and June and begin

Playoffs conclude for Blue Devil squads

Boys soccerThe Blue Devils were

bounced from the Class M state tournament on Satur-day, Nov. 14 with a 1-0 quar-terfinal-round loss to Tolland.

Tommy Leahy scored the deciding goal in the first half of the contest to send the Ea-gles to the semis. PHS keeper Sergio Zaldivar recorded 12 saves in the game, while Pla-inville put just three shots on goal.

Plainville, the 12th-seeded team in the tourney, fought its way to the Elite Eight with victories over 21st-seeded Killingly, 4-1, and an upset over fifth-seeded Watertown, 2-1 (7-5 advantage on penalty kicks.)

In the team’s home playoff game, the Blue Devils made short work of Killingly thanks to two goals from Patryk Wn-orowski and two assists and a goal from Adnan Sadiku. Dan Costantini also found the back of the net for Plainville while Zaldivar made three saves in goal.

In the second round, Plain-ville, once again, stymied its opponent, holding the pow-erful Watertown squad to only one goal in regulation. Zaldivar made eight saves in the contest as Juan Torres scored the equalizer to push the contest to overtime and, eventually, penalty kicks.

The quarterfinal matchup with Tolland proved to be the most difficult test for the Ea-gles to date, as they breezed through their first two match-ups: 9-1, 6-1.

Plainville wrapped up its 2015 campaign with a mark 12-6-1 (7-2-1 in the CCC South White.)

Girls volleyball

Despite playing host in their f irst-round playoff matchup, the Lady Blue Dev-ils fell to Haddam-Killing-worth 3-1 in their opening Class M state tournament contest, eliminating the girls from postseason play and ending their year.

Plainville lost the match by a game count of 25-20, 25-22, 22-25, 25-21.

Even with closely con-tested sets, the 15th-seeded

Lady Blue Devils couldn’t overcome a strong 18th-seed Cougars team that was clearly better than their rank-ing. H-K upended Bullard Ha-vens Tech, the second seed in Class M, in the second round of the tourney, 3-1.

The loss concluded a sea-son that saw the PHS girls finish 10-10, providing quite a turnaround for the program. The Blue Devils finished their 2014 campaign with a 2-15 record.

The return to the postsea-son for the 2015 squad, the in-

augural season for new coach Jen Gombotz, was the team’s first playoff appearance since 2011.

Football

The Blue Devils dropped their third straight game on Saturday, Nov. 14, falling to the Avon Falcons 35-14 in the team’s final road contest of the year. The loss dropped Plainville to 3-6 on the year.

It was the most points scored against the Blue Dev-ils since a 48-20 loss against

Rocky Hill back on Oct. 2.While Plainville has done

a better job in recent weeks of keeping foes from finding the end zone, the Blue Devils themselves have struggled to put points on the board. Pla-inville has only averaged 13.3 points per game during its recent three-game skid. The team has averaged 15.8 points per game in its six losses this year. In the squad’s three vic-tories, the Blue Devils have averaged 34.3 points.

Plainville will look to fin-ish its season on a high note when the Blue Devils host Farmington (3-6) on Thanks-giving morning. The Blue Devils are scheduled to play the very first game, of any kind, on the new turf field at PHS. And Plainville looks to continue its success against the Indians. The Blue Dev-ils smacked Farmington last Turkey Day, besting the Indi-ans 37-6.

Devil Notes

The Pee Wee Division Colts fell short against New Milford in the Northern Con-necticut Pop Warner Cham-pionship on Sunday, Nov. 15, as the Bulls walked away with a 24-13 win and the title.

A back and forth affair for most of the contest, the Bulls pulled away late with two touchdowns to seal the contest.

On offense, Plainville’s Ja-van Paradis threw the ball 30 times and racked up close to 200 yards passing. The youngster connected with

Tyler Stickels for a 12-yard score and also scampered 46 yards for the Colts’ other touchdown. Tanner Callahan knocked home an extra point to complete the locals’ scor-ing. Plainville’s Alec Couture and Dominick Chambrello each caught four passes to keep the defense honest while the offensive line – led by D.J. Cassone, Jacob Cipri-ano, Justin Emery, Cameron Lamothe and Alan La Oz –

created space for rushers and provided plenty of pass-ing time.

Defensively, the Colts were led by Callahan’s eight tackles and an interception. Bobby Mosback, Dakota Di-nielli, Ramon Ambert, Matt Lagassey and Chambrello all recorded five tackles. Connor Matthews and Ryan Stickels were stout in the secondary, tipping passes throughout the contest to disrupt the Bulls’ passing game.

Sydney McGough had a strong qualifying meet to set herself up for a big day by competing in four separate events. The senior helped the 400 yard freestyle relay that included Audrey Gediman, Is-abella Bantz and Lydia Wein-berg to finish 12th with a time of 4:15.90. McGough was also a part of the 200 free relay – a quartet that also featured Ge-diman, Lynda Weinberg and Abby McGough – to finish 13th in the preliminary meet in 1:52.42.

Sydney McGough qualified for the 100 backstroke (11th with a time of 1:04.57) and 100 free (15th; 59.28).

Gediman also qualified in two individual events, as the

junior placed 19th in the 200 free (2:11.57) and 23rd in the 500 free (5:57.24).

Lauren Acey competed in the diving final on Wednes-day, Nov. 11 at Middletown High School. The Blue Devil finished 14th out of 25 divers with a score of 280.95.

The Colts struck early, scoring on a 12-yard run by Christian Collin to take the lead as the defense played strong throughout to preserve the shutout.

demolition when school lets out; which should take five to seven weeks,” Lee said.

The town’s plan to demol-ish the old school originally arose when the $6-to-$8 mil-lion cost of renovating the building was deemed too high.

After voters rejected the

proposal to demolish the building for $2.6 million, the town held an open forum to discuss solutions for the school, but rejected a vari-ety of resident ideas, from converting OLS into senior housing, a recreation center and a day care center. Cost, lack of parking and its loca-tion next to the new school were reasons for rejecting

residents’ ideas and proceed-ing to demolition.

“We held several public meetings to talk about the problem and, ultimately, in-cluded money in the budget for demolition,” Town Coun-cil chairwoman Katherine Pugliese said. “The money will come out of the fund bal-ance and will be reduced with the state reimbursement.”
