Solution sought for Paderewski Pond fish kill

The fish kill that occurred at Paderewski Pond in Sep-tember has stimulated a de-sire among residents and town leaders to take action, but it remains to be seen what can and will be done.

The Plainville Conserva-tion Commission discussed the issue at an Oct. 14 meeting and commission chairwoman Marguerite Burris said the use of a solar aerator is being considered. “We don’t have electricity at the pond so a

solar system could be used. The aerator can bring up ox-ygen to the pond,” Burris said. “We’ve just started looking into it.”

A solar aerator system is described online as “a one-of-a-kind lake and pond aeration system designed for aquatic environments ranging in size from small ponds to lakes up to five acres. It runs up to 20 hours a day under stan-dard operating conditions with a battery backup system that allows them to run nor-mally under less than optimal conditions.”

A resident who lives near a pond that experienced fish kills said the solar aerator he used “gives the water oxygen and recirculates pond water and I can use it before a fish kill begins or as it occurs.”

Don Mysling, senior fisher-ies biologist for the Connecti-cut Department of Energy and Environmental Protec-tion, visited Paderewski Pond two times in late September and filed a biologist report. “I would estimate the total number of dead fish to be at

The four Republican and three Democratic members of the Town Council are running for reelection this year along with two other Democrats and one Republican. The affiliated party candidates are being op-posed by six independent pe-titioning candidates who are making this election an inter-esting one.

Carol Skultety, the Town Clerk, said six is the most pe-titioning candidates that have been on the ballot since she became clerk in 2003. There were six petitioning candi-dates in 2001 but no petition-ing candidate has ever won a seat on the council, she said.

The petitioning candidates are opposed to the demoli-tion of the old Linden Street School and the way the coun-cil authorized it. Town voters rejected a proposal to spend $2.6 million to demolish the school in November, 2014 but

it was included in the budget that passed in May and will be financed with $1 million from an unassigned fund bal-ance and $1.5 million from a state grant.

“A lot of people didn’t sup-port funding to demolish it, but they snuck it in the bud-get and they knew it would pass,” said John Kisluk, one of the petitioning candidates.

Wayne Fish, another peti-tioning candidate, said, “We feel our voices have been si-lent in the Town Council af-ter last year’s referendum when we said no to the fund-ing to take down the school. It’s like they’re taking our vote and throwing it out the window.”

Robert Michalic, also a petitioning candidate, said, “The Town Council disre-gards the public vote on Lin-den Street School and the budget. We’re going to listen to what the people say and if

A DAY OF TEAM-BUILDING

Fifth grade students from Toffolon Elementary School recently attended the YMCA’s Camp Sloper for a day of team-building and collaborative learning. As part of wellness training and problem-solving skill building, the students set out on a day of developing communication and stamina skills. Students were offered a variety of outdoor team-building challenges to encourage them to use positive feedback for their teams to work collaboratively.

least 1,000 to 1,500,” he wrote. “The majority of the affected species were juvenile sunfish, yellow perch, golden shiner, bullhead, catfish, carp and one American eel. The pond water surface elevation ap-peared to be approximately two to three feet below full pond. Water clarity was re-duced to around one foot by

a distinct brown color that I attribute to a decay of algae.”

While Town Manager Rob-ert Lee said the town is wait-ing for recommendations from Mysling on how to pro-ceed, the DEEP biologist said, “Let nature take its course. I don’t know how else to pro-ceed. I observed live fish in the pond and think they will recolonize. I don’t know what else to tell anybody.”

Plainville resident Tammy Dupree, who lives near Pad-erewski Pond, spoke at the Oct. 5 Town Council meeting. “I was at the pond the evening it happened and I was horrified, witnessing this kill off brought tears to my eye,” she said. “Something needs to be done and aeration in the pond to clean it up may be the answer.”

Jeff Brousseau, another res-ident who spoke at the meet-

ing, said, “I’m passionate about this pond and want to do what I can to save it. This is our only town water source that people can go to and en-joy recreationally. We need to start thinking about how we can make this a better pond.”

Lee is committed to the town taking action to remedy the situation. “We’ll sit down with people in the neighbor-hood and go over Mysling’s

report and talk about what we can do,” he said. “We can check and insure that the oxy-gen levels are back up to nor-mal every summer to monitor the health of the pond.”

they vote no that’s the way we’ll go as Town Council.”

Michalic also opposes the funding for road maintenance that was approved by voters in June. “If they used money from the unassigned fund balance we could have main-tained the roads instead of borrowing $5 million,” he said.

Town Manager Robert Lee

and council chairwoman Kath-erine Pugliese have said the council moved to demolish old Linden Street School because the $6-to-$8 million cost of renovating it is too expensive.

Pugliese said the council responded to the town vote rejecting the $2.6 million to demolish the school by hold-ing town forums. “We did an enormous outreach to the community to show them why the demolition has to happen. People didn’t understand the financing and why the school needs to come down. The ref-

erendum failed but we couldn’t let the building sit there.”

Pugliese criticized the pe-titioning candidates for their focus on the old Linden Street School. “Other issues need to be considered including the area around Linden Street School where parking is a se-rious problem,” she said.

Voters head to the polls Tuesday, Nov. 3 from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. at all four voting places: Linden Street School, Our Lady of Mercy Parish Hall, Toffolon School and Wheeler School.

Health Briefs Tips for a grocery cart makeoverOne of the best ways to eat

healthier and avoid weight gain during the holidays is to plan weekly trips to the grocery store. That’s right. Go shopping. I sug-gest you book an appointment for yourself each week (write it in your planner) to go grocery shopping. It’s a simple, yet powerful, way to make sure you are eating foods that are good for you and avoiding foods that are not.

Think of your grocery cart as your gateway to a healthy weight. Follow these tips and watch with pride as your groceries are packed into bags, knowing that you’re tak-ing a positive step to feel better and avoid the holiday weight gain this year.

1. Plan your meals. Sit down and spend some time during the week-end to plan out your meals for the week so you can avoid eating at fast

food restaurants or ordering take-out meals at the last minute. It’s easier to nourish yourself and man-age your weight when you plan and prepare meals at home more often.

2. Make a list. Make a healthy shopping list at home before you go to the grocery store – and stick to it. Be sure to include nutrient-rich foods from each of the five food groups so you will be eating nutri-tious, well-balanced meals through-out the week. Remember, if it’s not on your list; don’t put it in your gro-cery cart. This will keep the chips and doughnuts out of the house and out of your mouth.

3. Shop the perimeter. You may have heard this advice before and it’s actually true. The outer aisles of the grocery store are where you will find “whole” foods that have minimal processing: the deli (lean protein and low fat cheese), pro-duce (fresh fruits and vegetables, herbs), bakery (whole grain breads),

seafood counter (high omega-3 fish), dairy (low fat milk, cheese and yogurt) and the meat counter (lean poultry).

That doesn’t mean, however, that you need to steer clear of the mid-dle aisles all together. The middle aisles contain items such as condi-ments, crackers, pastas, spices and cereals – some of which are healthy. Read labels to help you decide what to put in your cart.

4. Read labels. As you head down the aisles of the store, spend some time reading labels. In partic-ular, look for high fiber foods that are low in sugar, sodium and satu-rated or trans-fats. Packaged foods with the fewest ingredients are usu-ally best.

5. Splurge on yourself. Some-times it is worth it to spend a little more to get healthier food such as organic fruits and vegetables.

Senior Center receives magazine awardThe Plainville Senior Cen-

ter was named a second run-ner up for the Best Senior Center as part of the New Ha-ven Living Magazine Awards. Winners were determined by voting in the third annual readers poll.

“This was a complete sur-prise, and we are thrilled,” said Ronda Guberman, assis-tant director for the Plainville Senior Center.

The local senior center learned of the honor after receiving a note along with copy of the magazine from New Haven Living. While the center is not in New Haven County, some of its members are from that area.

The Plainville Senior Cen-ter tied for second place with the JCC in New Haven, Ma-sonicare in Wallingford and Interim in North Haven.

“We were up against some very large senior organi-zations so this was really

wonderful to receive,” Plain-ville Senior Center Director Shawn Cohen said.

“This is such a thrill. Who-ever voted for us, thank you very much,” Cohen said.

Guberman credits the vari-ety of programs and services the Plainville Senior Center offers for helping the estab-lishment to stand out. “We have a lot of unique opportu-nities, plus a great fitness cen-ter and café,” she said.

Some of the programs the center will feature this fall

include a Fitness Scavenger Hunt at the West Farms Mall, a five-part series on Under-standing Dementia, a class on navigating the iPad and the opportunity to go zip lining.

“We are always looking for new ideas. We talk with our members, staff and instruc-tors, we follow trends and we share ideas with other cen-ters,” Guberman said.

The Plainville Senior Cen-ter has 2,000-plus mem-bers, and a staff of two full-time employees, nine

part-time employees and 300 volunteers.

Among the services it of-fers include caregivers and family support, meals, insur-ance assistance, transporta-tion and trips.

Membership is open to Pla-inville residents 60 years of age and older, at no charge. Membership for non-resi-dent seniors requires a yearly fee. The center is open for informational tours during operating hours. For more information call 860-747-5728.

Senior Happenings

The elderly must be treated with dignityFamily members visit as-

sisted living facilities and think: “This is great! It’s beau-tiful – you get three meals and a housekeeper, and, at an ad-ditional cost, meds.”

But these are physical needs. Your parent isn’t eat-ing well or keeping house because of emotional needs, not just physical limitations.

Leaving home means los-ing identity – an emotional problem. Moving to an as-sisted living facility means new identity. To solve this, social activity is important.

But, are weekly social ac-tivities listed at ALFs really occurring? For example, a knitting group is listed, but nobody goes. Shopping trips sound good, but residents dropped off by a van in front of a large store can become confused, depressed or un-sure. The result? They no longer want to engage in the activity.

In contrast to nursing homes, ALF activity directors aren’t required to visit resi-dents regularly to determine appropriate activities in re-lation to individual physical and emotional status. Based on experience as an elder care advisor in ALFs, main-taining a positive emotional status is the key to becoming acclimated to a new way of life. I’ve seen the difference when people acquire a sense

of belonging. Otherwise, they’re lonely and depressed. Beautiful walls become prison walls, and residents know they can’t escape.

How can ALFs provide residents with a sense of belonging, which they des-perately need to be happy? The answer is socialization. Activities enabling social-ization improve emotional well being. But socialization is not just bringing people together to listen or watch something. It’s bringing them together to experience common interests or experi-ences. Example: the theme, “Trips to Florida” or “First Time I Drove a Car,” creates socialization. Old times rep-resent happy tines. Sharing experiences makes them smile and develop a sense of belonging.

Getting people to attend social activities often re-quires encouragement. Why not walk residents to and from activities, encourag-ing them along the way? If they’re in a wheel chair, why not push them to the event; otherwise, the weak stay be-hind. Shouldn’t ALFs include that attention? They don’t, without an additional fee.

To be happy, elderly people don’t just like attention, they require attention. By adopting these suggestions, ALF di-rectors could create industry competition, thereby produc-ing a happy, content and lon-

ger term stay for residents.Mealtime food quality

also affects emotional status. Some facilities have chefs preparing fresh meals. Oth-ers serve frozen and canned foods. Would you want to eat frozen and canned food every day? We all fee happy when we eat food that tastes delicious. Many residents only come our of their rooms at mealtime. If the food is not good, they leave

the dining room and miss a meal as well as an opportu-nity to socialize. Improved food quality would also cre-ated a competitive environ-ment among ALFs.

If this is the last chapter in our lives, let’s turn the page and end it with dignity. Do you want your loved one to be just safe, or to be happy.

Opinion

Support DemocratsTo the editor:We strongly support the

Plainville Democratic teams for the Town Council and Board of Education. These individuals are our friends and neighbors who have been serving our community for many years.

Town Councilors Christo-pher Wazorko, Quinn Chris-topher and Patrick Kilby have proven to be leaders who have made many deci-sions to move our town for-ward. They would be great mentors for our new council members, Rosemary Mo-rante and Tony Tarascio.

Foster White is presently serving on the Plainville Board of Education. He un-derstands how important education is in the lives of our students and his votes demonstrate his commit-ment. Michael Verrett and Crystal St. Lawrence would be an excellent addition to the school board.

We are confident that these Democratic teams, through their leadership and vision, will be motivated to do work in our best inter-ests. Please vote on Tuesday, Nov. 3.

Betty and Gary BoukusPlainville

Vote MoranteTo the editor:I enthusiastically support

Rosemary Morante for Pla-inville Town Council. I’ve known Rosemary all my po-litical life and she stands out among everyone I’ve worked with over the years for her absolute integrity and fine leadership qualities.

Rosemary has successfully built and led numerous or-ganizations and campaigns and is universally liked and respected by all who work with her.

Rosemary is solidly grounded in town issues and has professional experience in strategic planning, bud-geting and managing change.

Her qualities of character, intellect and relevant ex-perience will make her an exceptional Town Council member.

Strongest recommenda-tion: Rosemary Morante for Town Council.

Charlotte KoskoffPlainville

Verrett for BOETo the editor:We have known Michael

Verrett for over 30 years and whole-heartedly support for him in his race for a seat on the Board of Education. What are the qualities that we think qualify him for this important position?

Intelligent: His education in school, and his experi-ences in life have equipped him well for dealing with the myriad issues that are likely to confront him as a BOE member.

Thoughtful: He will de-liberate matters with care, and with respect for other’s thoughts and opinions.

Fair: He will seek out-comes that take into account all sides of the question.

Diligent: He is hardwork-ing and loyal; he will de-vote the time (and energy) it will take to successfully represent the citizens of Plainville.

Conciliatory: He will work toward outcomes that have that opportunity – all too rare in today’s political cli-mate – of being win-win.

Support for St. Lawrence

To the editor:I have lived in Plainville

for over 20 years, currently have children in the Pla-inville school system and have had for the past 10 years during which time, I have experienced many changes in our education system. I am very excited to highly recommend Crystal

St. Lawrence for the Board of Education. She brings a fresh approach to the table with her youth, her children currently attend our Plain-ville schools and she, along with her husband, are part of many organizations in the school including the PTC and the PTO.

I hope residents vote for Crystal St. Lawrence know-ing she is someone who is currently involved on a parental level in our school system and has a better idea of what the education needs are for our children.

Strengthening a collaborative cultureAs a means of accelerating

the positive change we have seen in the Plainville Com-munity Schools over the past decade, we have recently begun to provide structures and practices that foster a

climate of working together toward com-mon goals. Instead of 200 teach-ers working on separate goals, our teachers are working collabora-

tively this year on just two systemic goals.

At the elementary level, all teachers are working to ensure that all children are reading informational and literary text for pleasure as well as to accomplish

assigned tasks. And at the secondary level, teachers are working to increase student motivation and ownership of learning by creating a cul-ture of self-assessment and goal setting.

Providing time for teach-ers to work on a shared goal and encouraging a culture of collaborative problem solving are two ways to build teacher leadership that translates into stronger and more productive instruction for our students.

During regularly sched-uled cross district meetings (called professional learning communities, or data teams), Plainville teachers are working together to exam-ine student work as well as benchmark assessment data in order to make decisions about changes to instruction designed to help students improve their work.

Agreeing on a change in strategy and then imple-menting that change and making note of the impact on students is a signifi-cant part of instructional improvement.

As our teachers continue to work collaboratively to solve problems of instruc-tional practice, they grow in their skills, confidence, and expertise. Learning from one another and sharing what is working and what continues to be challenging is a signif-icant component of build-ing a collaborative culture within and across schools in the district.

To assist teachers in the work of professional learn-ing communities, every teacher in the district was given a copy of the book, Cultures Built to Last by Richard DuFour and Michael Fullan. This short, easy-

to-read book sets forth the three “big ideas” that are the core of the PLC process: a relentless focus on learning for all students; a collabora-tive culture and collective effort to support student and adult learning; and a results orientation to improve prac-tice and drive continuous improvement.

The leadership team – consisting of administrators and teacher leaders – meet together to collaboratively plan PLC meetings.

Sending a clear mes-sage that our efforts must be focused relentlessly on learning for each student, we continuously explore four critical questions: What do we want our students to learn? How will we know if each student is learning each of the skills related to our goals? What will we do when some students do not

learn? How will we enrich and extend the learning for students who are already proficient?

As we work collabora-tively throughout the year, we believe that the sys-temic PLC process will cultivate and deepen our sense of common purpose, mutual accountability, and collective efficacy/ability to work together to get the job done.

In short, we believe that collaborating and striv-ing toward a common goal, will enable our teachers to solve problems and achieve positive results for each of our students. This year will be a year of learning the processes of PLCs as we work as grade level or in-terdisciplinary teams across schools.

Celebrating 10 years, choral society deserves an audience

Congratulations to Plain-ville Choral Society on 10 years of providing live enter-tainment, theater and musical events, to the community.

That’s a real accomplish-ment, especially considering how hard it can be to get vol-unteers, pull the necessary elements of live theater to-gether — and then attract an audience.

That last item is surely a goal that every theater troupe frets, sweats and bets its fu-ture on.

And now, unfortunately, I must segue to the fact that it’s too bad a lot more people didn’t take in the organiza-tion’s latest show.

“Three Murders and It’s Only Monday” offered a spoof of old style private-eye movies. It hit the stage at Pla-inville High School over the weekend of Oct. 9 and 10. The witty script by Pat Cook was perfectly rendered in the lo-cal production.

The play offered, at turns, sly comedy, slapstick, a little bawdiness, and plenty of fun in a classic who-dun-it mys-tery. As Det. Monday says, at one point, “If you’re not con-fused by now, you haven’t been paying attention.”

So the show had all that go-ing for it, plus it was a chance to not stare at a TV or a com-puter all night. However, the Saturday night performance had, at best, an audience of about 30 people. Now that’s a crime.

While those who did at-

tend were appreciative, and a mixed group of young and old, those empty seats were hard to miss.

The situation surprised me. I’d rushed to get there in plenty of time to nab a ticket, because, surely, there would be a queue and no good seats left.

According to the PCS web-site, Director Sara Fabrizio chose this production to “go back to the roots” of the PCS Players. The company’s first production was one of the “Harry Monday” shows, and the audience response was so positive that the troupe decided to stage a second production.

The show featured an op-portunity for the audience to get involved in the solving of the murders by viewing a “scene of the crime” which could be viewed during in-termission and inspected for clues.

The cast was first rate: Jim Lawrence, Stephanie Kull, Lola Wishart, Eileen Glancy, Peter Weidt; Kathleen Pow-ers, John Mehm, and Jay Steeves played a variety of whacky characters.

Promotional information stated that the “lightening paced” spoof promised to keep the audience “guess-ing and laughing” and it delivered.

For $12 how can you go wrong or find a better enter-tainment value?

I couldn’t help but wonder if there might be a few more folks in Plainville (or for that matter, Southington, Bris-tol, even Berlin) who might

have been looking for some-thing fun, or a little different to do, on a Saturday night and missed out.

What is the disconnect?

Did PCS publicity efforts fall short? Could local me-dia have provided more cov-erage? Were there residents who might value the cultural

opportunities right in their own backyards who simply weren’t aware of the show?

group – a mix of young and experienced candidates, all of whom are extremely dedi-cated to the community.

Incumbents Christopher Wazorko, Quinn Christopher and Patrick Kilby have al-ready proven to be excellent council members. Newcom-ers Rosemary Morante, who has extensive experience in strategic planning and budgeting, and Tony Tar-ascio, who has a degree in accounting and a history of fighting for working families, would be outstanding addi-tions to the council.

The Democratic candi-dates believe in Plainville and its future. Please vote for them on Nov. 3.

Robert A. Michalik, Jr.Plainville

Morante for councilTo the editor:As a lifelong resident of

Plainville, I am writing this in support of Rosemary Mo-rante for the Town Council.

Rosemary’s concerns are for the children and schools

as well as how any decisions made for improvements to the town will be done for the betterment of the community.

Knowing Rosemary, I know she will always be there to listen and will do what is in the best interest for the town and its people.

I am pleased to support Rosemary and urge the peo-ple of Plainville on Nov. 3 to support and vote for her.

Claire StuartPlainville

Vote Line CTo the editor:I’m a relative newcomer

to Plainville who loves this beautiful and unpretentious town. This year’s ballot in-cludes an unusually large slate of unaffiliated inde-pendent candidates who also love this town and have arisen as a reaction to the current members of the council who have gone out of their way to ignore the will of the people.

To get some new blood and fresh faces onto the council, fiscally responsible

people who will actually lis-ten to and work for us, I urge all to eschew both Repub-licans and Democrats this year and vote Line C.

David SpencerPlainville

Dedication and experience

To the editor:Dedication and expe-

rience define the Dem-ocratic BOE candidates. BOE member Foster White, combines financial exper-tise with dedication to stu-dents. School mentor, PCS Youth Theater Producer and YMCA Board member, the BOE benefits from his experience.

Crystal St. Lawrence, a PHS graduate, school volun-teer and substitute teacher leads the MSP PTC in an inclusive manner. Her ex-perience and commitment would make her an asset to the BOE.

Michael Verrett, a life-long Plainville resident, is a thoughtful advocate for students. His career serving individuals with disabilities makes him uniquely quali-fied to serve.

Please support the out-standing Democratic candi-dates for the BOE.

Cheryl ProvostPlainville

Rupaka for ConstableTo the editor:I would like to urge Plain-

ville voters to support Jason Rupaka for re-election as a Constable. Jason has been a Constable for the past five years and has collected over $269,000 in back taxes for the town of Plainville.

Jason is a certified ac-counts receivable manager and was ranked 12th in the “Best Minds in A/R 2015” recently.

Jason is an asset to Plain-ville and has a proven track record, and because of this, has been asked to be a pre-senter and panelist for an accounts receivable summit in 2016.

I whole-heartily support Jason Rupaka for constable.

Lynn GonzalezPlainville

Promises keptTo the editor:Four years ago the Repub-

licans promised if elected to 1.) Work together in har-mony, 2.) Combine the town & BOE financial depart-ments under one director, 3.) Control spending, keeping services, 4.) Get a budget passed.

They accomplished all items.

They controlled spending while still providing services

and built up the surplus ac-count that got us to a bond rating of AA+. They got a budget passed by the vot-ers. Importantly, there is no longer squabbling between the BOE and the council. Finance, human resources and IT departments now share resources, eliminating duplication.

To continue with these improvements please vote Republican, Row B in November.

George Fensick, IIIPlainville

St. Lawrence for BOETo the editor:As a current Plainville res-

ident and PHS graduate, it will be my privilege to vote for Crystal St. Lawrence for Board of Education. I have known Crystal from the day I was born, as she is my older sister. However, I will not be voting for Crystal merely because of our famil-ial ties.

Crystal is one of the most organized, dedicated, and service-oriented people I have ever met. As a parent and volunteer in Plainville Schools, Crystal is invested in the quality of our chil-dren’s education.

Vote St. Lawrence for Board of Education on Nov. 3.

Valerie Letendre WoodPlainville

Consider CoxTo the editor:I have had the privilege of

knowing Ty Cox for 15 years, and have watched him tran-sition from a well-rounded, personable, respectful child into an exceptional, driven young man. Ty is mature, focused, hardworking, dy-namic, and a great commu-nicator – excellent traits that will serve him well if elected to the Plainville Town Council.

It is refreshing and ex-citing to have a young man interested in participating in local government on behalf of Plainville’s residents. Ty will bring a unique perspec-tive to the Town Council and has much to offer in that capacity.

Please consider Ty Cox for Town Council!

New technology being offered at checkoutConnecticut Better Busi-

ness Bureau says consumers are seeing new technology at the checkout counter. One element is designed to re-duce credit card fraud, and the other, to help consumers keep track of their purchases without requiring a printed receipt.

“Paperless receipts” were introduced to consumers over a number of years, pri-marily at bank ATMs and for financial and utility state-ments; however, restaurants and local stores are coming on board. Don’t be surprised if you are offered the option of going paperless this holi-day season.

Consumers opt for paper-less receipts to be emailed to them because of the con-venience, their ability to store all of their receipts on a smart device or computer, and a choice that allows them to help reduce waste. How-ever, many consumers prefer to have a hard copy of their receipts for a variety of rea-sons, including ease of filing and for reconciling financial statements.

However, there is a cost for accepting an emailed receipt instead of a printed one, not the least of which, is having to provide an email

address without knowing whether that information will be shared, and with whom.

Consumers faced with the choice of paper or email will have to decide whether they are comfortable giving out that information, and whether they’d prefer to have an overflowing wallet or overflowing inbox.

The new generation of anti-fraud credit cards

Another, crucial techno-logical advance is appearing in consumers’ wallets and greeting them at the check-out counter: “smart” credit cards and merchants’ card readers. Their proper name is an “EMV card.”

They contain a micropro-cessor chip that permits con-sumers to use their cards globally to help reduce card fraud and identity theft, and make in-store transactions more secure.

The chip generates a unique, one-time code that is needed for each transaction to be approved.

If a thief gets hold of your card, it will only allow one transaction.

Merchants both large and small had an incentive to up-date their point of sale termi-nals to accept the new EMV

cards by Oct. 1, when liabil-ity and losses due to fraud-ulent transactions will shift from the card issuer to the merchant.

Unfortunately, the EMV technology does not yet

stop fraudulent use of a smart card in No Card Pres-ent (NCP) commerce, such as telephone and Internet purchases.

Many cards still sport a magnetic stripe on the back

containing information that can be copied.

That stripe is a legacy that enables consumers to use their cards in stores and

Plainville may be known for many things, and now we

can add the giant pumpkin to the list. This 1,992.5-pound pumpkin grown by Gary Vin-cent in his backyard was do-nated to the town, and sits in front of Town Hall in honor of the PumpkinFest and Hal-loween Party, which will take place Saturday, Oct. 24.

Vincent’s pumpkin holds

the Connecticut state record for the largest pumpkin, won first place at this year’s Tops-field Fair in Massachusetts and is the 10th largest pump-kin grown in the world this year, according to informa-tion provided by Town Man-ager Robert Lee.

FootballThe Blue Devils lost a

heart-breaker to Northwest Catholic on Saturday, Oct. 17, as an Indians field goal with 10 seconds remaining sent Plainville to a 16-14 loss.

Plainville took a 14-13 lead late in the fourth quarter on a two-yard touchdown run from quarterback Jon Lindgren.

Yet it was a 27-yard field goal from Clayton Stewart that sent a dagger into the hearts of Blue Devil fans. Stewart proved to be a thorn in Plainville’s side all after-noon, as he had returned a fumble recovery for a touch-down in the second quarter.

Things started off on the right foot for the Blue Devils, as Corey McKisson recovered a blocked punt deep in Indi-ans territory, scooping up the loose ball and scoring from four yards out. Ryan Gorham converted the extra point at-tempt to give Plainville a 7-0 second-quarter lead.

Following Stewart’s score to send the game to halftime knotted at 7, Northwest re-sponded with a third-quarter rushing touchdown to set up the fourth-quarter theatrics.

Lindgren finished the day with 123 yards on 20 carries. Gorham was 2-for-2 on extra point attempts.

Plainville (2-3) will look to right the ship when it hosts Fermi (0-5) Friday, Oct. 23 at Norton Park. Kickoff is set for 6:30 p.m.

Boys soccerThe Blue Devils inched

closer to the postseason with a strong week of play that would suggest they had al-ready clinched a playoff spot.

Plainville upended rival Berlin on Columbus Day, 1-0, to earn its sixth victory of the year.

Adnan Sadiku scored the contest’s only goal, as Sergio Zaldivar recorded nine saves to earn the shutout. The Blue Devils took advantage of the few opportunities they had, as Plainville managed only two shots on goal throughout the contest.

Following a difficult 3-1 loss against Rocky Hill, Plainville ended its week with a solid

2-1 victory over Maloney on Senior Night. Assisted by an own-goal from the Spartans, the Blue Devils earned their seventh win of the season, placing them on the cusp of the postseason.

At press time, the Blue Dev-ils had three more opportu-nities to earn one more win. The team currently holds a 6-2 record in the CCC South-Blue Division.

Girls soccerThe Lady Blue Devils

ended their week much bet-ter than they began it as the team used a 1-1-1 stretch to im-prove to 2-9-1 on the year.

Plainville’s week began with a frustrating 6-0 loss at the hands of Berlin. Goal-keeper Julianna Christy was busy all night, as the se-nior recorded 18 saves in the matchup against an unde-feated Redcoat squad.

Things quickly turned around for the Blue Devils, as they upended Rocky Hill 1-0 in overtime to earn their second victory of the year. Christy, once again, put forth a phenomenal effort, haul-ing in 20 saves to record her

Pee Wees top Pomperaug while the Tiny Mites jamTiny MitesThis weekend, the Colts

played both Wolcott and New Milford in a round robin jam-boree. A defense, led by first-year players, held Wolcott to

a single score in the Colt’s first game,

as new cornerbacks came up with huge tackles and plays throughout the contest. The Colt offense scored multiple times against both squads they faced, and stood strong against an impressive New Milford offense.

Pee WeePlainville 31, Pomperaug

6: For Plainville, it was de-fense and special teams that

dominated on Sunday, Oct. 18. Tyler Stickels had an inter-ception late in the game while Matt Laggassey caused havoc all day in the Warrior back-field with a sack, two tackles for a loss and a fumble recov-ery. Alec Couture had four tackles, three for a loss, and blocked an extra point. Da-kota Dinielli, Bobby Mosback and Tanner Callahan all had tackles for loss.

On offense, running backs Javan Paradis, Domi-nick Chambrello and Calla-han all scored for the Colts. Chambrello added a mo-mentum-swinging kickoff re-turn for a touchdown, with a great block from Cameron Lamothe to spring him loose. Paving the way for the run-

ning game were D.J. Cassone, Alan La Oz and Ramon Am-bert, who dominated the line of scrimmage.

Junior Pee WeePomperaug 14, Plainville

0: The game started with a successful onside kick off the foot of Jesse Pires; however, the Plainville offense was un-able to capitalize.

The defense, led by Xavier Goode and Keith Lagassey on the edges, played hard, lead-ing the Colts to a scoreless tie through the first half.

In the second half, the Colts made a few great plays including a 35-yard pass and catch from Michael Bakaysa to Pires.

The team played very hard

but failed to score before Pomperaug took control in the second half.

Mitey MitesPomperaug 34, Plain-

ville 20: Despite having only 14 players total, the Colts fought through four quarters, coming up empty on three red zone drives. But Plain-ville did find the end zone three times for its highest output and best-played game of the year.

The Colts rushed for close to 400 yards, led by Eddie Rapacky with his first touch-down and extra point of the year. The youngster finished the day with 100 yards. Ap-proaching the 100-yard mark for Plainville were Austin

Shorette, who also scored a touchdown, Michael Moore (touchdown), Braedon Masse and Shane McCormick (extra point and 50 yards rushing). All the running backs took turns blocking for their breth-ren, as a negative play was not to be found.

Leading the Colts ex-tremely well under center were quarterbacks Philip Rothkugal and Mason Krystock.

The offensive line was re-lentless; the coaches noted that there wasn’t a single play where the defense broke through.

first shutout of the season. Jessica Masco sent home the game-winner to knock off the Terriers, a tournament-bound team.

The local girls ended their week with a 0-0 grid-lock game against Maloney. Christy made eight saves to help preserve a scoreless affair.

Despite being eliminated from playoff contention the PHS girls have played with a renewed confidence and fire as of late, as they’ve held foes to two goals or less in three of their last five games.

Girls volleyballPlainville snapped a five-

match losing streak to im-

prove to 6-7 and set itself up for an exciting stretch run, as the team looks to reach the postseason.

The Blue Devils earned victories over Rocky Hill, 3-2, and Bulkeley, 3-0, to move within two wins of a state tournament appearance.

The victories broke a slide that lasted two solid weeks and saw the local girls get shutout 3-0 in all five losses.

Plainville will have sev-eral opportunities down the stretch to qualify for the play-offs, with matches against Fermi, Middletown and SMSA still on tap. The match against Fermi will serve as the team’ Senior Night, and set to take place Friday, Oct. 30.

John Tata, Connor Southall and Domenic Abarno played stout in the trenches.

The Colt defense was ag-gressive and strong, play-ing with heart and passion against a passing offense

it had yet to see this year, and in unfavorable condi-tions. The defense was led by Mann, who had his best game of the year. Key defen-sive stops were also made by Antonio Melincitis, Sho-rette, Massey, Moore and Boucher.

Makeover

Avoiding harsh chemicals and pesticides whenever possible is a great step to-wards better health. And yet, it’s not a good idea to get bogged down by the idea that you have to buy organic all the time. Eating

vegetables (even if not or-ganic) is better than eating no vegetables at all — espe-cially when it comes to los-ing weight.

Choral

PCS, from the couple of shows I’ve seen, does not go in for high-brow the-a-ter. It strives to simply be a highly entertaining showcase for lo-cal talent.

But every show requires a lot. Commitment, talent, or-ganization (costumes, sets, playbills) None of this comes easy.

Communities are held to-gether by a lot of different elements. Some of these are organized such as schools and churches. Some are cel-ebrations like fairs and fire-works and parades. Aspects such as newspapers, history, politics and the like also add to the framework for commu-nity life.

Volunteer organizations such as PCS give people an-

other kind of insight into their community. The hidden talents, such as that revealed by Stephanie Kull, who in real life is a banker, but in Three Murders, plays a suspicious seductress. Or Lola Wishart, a gifted actor, who describes herself as someone who used to be a shy girl until she found a new dimension of herself through theater.

As PCS enters a new de-cade of operations, let’s wish the participants well and put this quote from English actor Kenneth Haigh into practice. “You need three things in the theatre, the play, the actors and the audience.”

Certainly, we can help with that last ingredient.

Technology

countries that do not yet have EMV technology. Once those stripes are phased out as they have been in other countries, it will make things consider-ably more difficult for credit card thieves.

Connecticut BBB offers some tips for the use of EMV cards and paperless receipts:

Limit what you reveal – If you sign up for paperless re-ceipts, you have to provide an email address. Unless you read the privacy policy, you won’t know if your informa-tion will be used for market-ing, shared with third parties or how it will be shared. You might want to open a second email account dedicated to non-personal emails such as these.

Check your email for the receipt in the store – Make sure you received the receipt

and that it is accurate.Ask about receiving an

EMV card – Financial institu-tions continue to replace ex-isting credit and debit cards with the smart EMV cards. If you have not yet received one, contact your financial institution.

Free wireless can come at a price – Any public Wi-Fi con-nection that does not require a password is vulnerable to hacking. Consider holding off conducting business transac-tions and entering account passwords until you are back at home.

Carefully review financial statements – This is vital all year long, but more especially when you use your cards a lot. The moment you spot an error or unauthorized charge, call your financial institution immediately.
