BOO-TIFUL EFFORT
Plainville Girl Scout hosted a Halloween Party recently. The scouts collected paper goods for the food pantry.
Longtime town employees honored
Plainville honored three employees who have worked for the town for 25 years at a reception at the Municipal Center on Oct. 29.
One of the three, Chad
Haber, an accounting ana-lyst, said, “The town has a low turnover rate and a lot have crossed the 20-year bar-rier. There is a strong sense of community and it’s a joy to work here. I put my best foot forward every day and I’m go-ing to give it my all.”

Before Plainville residents cast their votes Tues-day they had most likely met and received mail from many of the Republican and Democratic Town Council candidates.
As part of their drive to boost voter turnout, the candidates conducted door to door campaigns to greet voters personally and the parties sent post-cards to voters townwide.
“The focus of our campaign was door to door and person to person,” said Democratic chairwoman Rosemary Morante, also a Town Council candidate. “We knocked on 2,500 doors and if we didn’t get them at home we gave them a phone call later. We also did a mailing.”

Also, Haber volunteers with the community reading partners program at Linden Street School.
Det. Dave Posadas has spent 25 years at the police department. “I grew up in Plainville, graduated from Plainville High School and was hired as a dispatcher in 1990,” he said. “The depart-ment has changed in 25 years. We used to file our reports on typewriters, now we have
computers in our cars.”Posadas has worked sev-
eral big cases over the years. “I investigated a number of murders and the people re-sponsible are now incarcer-ated,” he said. “I’m currently responsible for investigating Internet computer crime and identity theft cases.”
The third honoree, John Bossi, the town engineer and director of technical services, holds an expansive position that oversees everything to do with development and construction in Plainville. “I started as town engineer and
assumed more responsibili-ties over the years,” he said. “I’ve been in charge of the building department, the fire marshal and the department of planning & zoning. The biggest projects I’ve been in-volved with have been the Connecticut Commons shop-
ping center, the acquisition of the airport and renovations of Trumbull and Norton parks.”
The employees received gifts from the town for their 25th anniversary. Haber se-lected a town seal rocking chair and Posadas and Bossi chose clocks.

said the party sent out 3,000 personal post-cards and hit 3,500 households door to door. “We’ve been calling to get the vote out and we had a wave on East Street where candidates waved to drivers passing by. And it’s not just Republican or unaffiliated households. We’ve been visiting every household. The candi-dates have been working very hard.”
Beth Gasparani, a town registrar, said there was a 26 percent turnout for the last Town Council election in 2013. Out of 10,592 regis-tered voters, just 2,803 cast ballots. This year there are 10,402 registered voters.
Voters cast ballots for seven Town Coun-cil members Tuesday, choosing from five Re-publicans, five Democrats and six petitioning candidates. They also cast ballots for five Board of Education members, choosing from three Republicans and three Democrats; four constables, choosing from four Republicans and four Democrats; and two library trust-ees, choosing from one Republican and one Democrat.
Editor’s note: Votes were tallied after dead-line Tuesday. Visit plainvillecitizen.com for election results.

School News Students, teachers team up for marine programPlainville High School
seniors Jamilex Rosado-Ri-vera and Briana Lugo, with high school science teacher Ken Fusco, spent part of last summer at the Marine Technology for Teachers and Students (MaTTS) Proj-ect Summer Institute at the University of Rhode Island’s Inner Space Center.
The week-long insti-tute, designed for student/teacher teams, included the building and deploying of sensor-based instruments including hydrophones, re-motely operated vehicles and observation buoys, field exercises, and career explo-ration activities. Students and teachers from across Connecticut and Rhode Is-
land came together for the intensive program.
The summer institute is part of a year-long profes-sional development program for high school teachers.
According to the MaTTS website, the project focuses on providing opportunities for teachers and students to experience new technolo-gies related to exploring the global ocean and discover pathways to marine careers using these tools.
As part of the professional development program, Fusco receives training and engages colleagues and stu-dents at the high school to gain additional experience in marine and ocean science technologies.

When it comes to gift cards, user bewareThe main reason holiday
gift cards are so popular for buyers and recipients can be summed up in one word: convenience. Gift cards and certificates essentially give the end user the freedom to buy whatever they want. However, Connecticut Bet-ter Business Bureau says consumers should under-
stand the various gift card options, their benefits and consequences.
According to the National Retail Federation’s (NRF) Gift Card Spending Survey, consumers are expected to spend $31 billion on gift cards by the end of this year, up from $26 billion in 2014.
In 2003, Connecticut be-
came one of the first states to prohibit fees and expira-tion dates for cards bought in the state or ordered on-line or by telephone by a Connecticut resident.
There is an exception for gift cards that fall under fed-eral law, such as cards issued by financial institutions, and, in some cases, shopping
malls. Federal regulations do allow certain fees in such cases.
What happens if a busi-ness closes its doors be-fore I use my gift card?
A competitor or another nearby business may offer some sort of credit for the gift card to attract you as a new customer. Rule No. 1 is
to use a gift card or certif-icate right away. You also want to use it as soon as possible because we tend to lose them. Typical estimates indicate 20 percent of gift cards are never redeemed.
What if I don’t want the gift card?

Cards
There are reputable websites where you can buy and sell gift cards and certificates.
Some cards are worth more than others, but you can receive up to 70 percent of their value selling them online. If you want to pur-chase a gift card from one of these websites, you can find cards discounted up to 30 percent of their value. Check the company or website first with Better Business Bureau to make sure you are dealing with an ethical business.
BBB warns gift card fraud continues to be a problem, and offers these tips to avoid becoming the victim of gift card fraud:
Inspect the card at the cash register – A growing problem is that criminals scratch away the wax on the back of the card to reveal its serial number, put it back into its packaging and empty the card with that infor-mation. If you can see the card’s number on the back, so can everyone else. In-spect gift cards bought from corner stores which may be on a rack away from the eyes of the merchant. The safest gift cards are found at the cash register.
Avoid buying gift cards through classified ads – Buyer beware. You may end up with a counterfeit or empty card if you receive anything at all.
Register your gift card – Most issuers have a tele-phone number or website to
register the card, check its balance and file a report if lost or stolen.
Give recipients the origi-nal receipt – It makes things a lot easier for them if the card is lost or stolen.
Beware of email or texted “giveaway” cards – This is prime time for scammers. If you click on such a link in an email or text, you will likely get a virus in your computer, but no gift card.

Opinion
Deer, me: It’s a hazard of the seasonIt’s about 5 a.m on a beautiful Oc-
tober morning and the driver of the pickup truck is preoccupied as to what he might see on a bowhunt for deer in northwestern Connecticut.
The pickup truck is traveling through the Housatonic River valley in the dark morning hours when the driver sees movement in the road up ahead. It is a deer — a doe— and she bursts across the road.
Just as suddenly, two more deer leap out into the road and the driver is forced to jam on his brakes, locking up the wheels as the early morning stillness is shat-tered by the sound of squeal-ing tires on the pavement.
Luckily, the driver was able to miss hitting the deer, but the incident did give him a new awareness of the probability of be-ing involved in a deer/vehicle inci-dent that could result in a damaged vehicle and possible human injuries.
I know this incident to be true be-cause I was the driver of that pickup truck quite a few years back.
I also know what it sounds like when a driver is not so lucky when a deer runs out into the road in front of a vehicle. I have heard the sound twice, both times while we had our place up in New York.
The first thing you hear is the sickening thud as the vehicle crashes into the deer. This is usually followed by the panicked squealing of the brakes, but it is already to late to avoid hitting the deer.
Many times the vehicle is inop-erable after the collision and each year close to 200 human lives in the U.S. are lost because of deer/vehicle collisions.
It is interesting to note that you do not have to be in a rural area to have a deer/vehicle collision. This can happen almost anywhere, any-time. Although we have not had deer killed in front of our Dogwood Lane home in Meriden, deer have been spotted in the road in front of our home and traveling through our backyard on the other side of or fence.
For reasons unknown to me, it appears that does and young deer seem to be more susceptible to being hit by a motor vehicle than bucks (antlered males). When we had our place in New York, we had
a deer crossing right through our front lawn. Across the street was a farm field that usually grew corn, alfalfa and pumpkins that the deer seemed to relish.
Because of the crossing area right outside our home, I was able to ob-serve the deer and noticed that the
does and young deer would almost wait until a vehicle was upon them before pan-icking and dashing out into the road in front of the on-coming vehicle. The bucks would seemingly wait until they were sure that there was no oncoming traffic be-fore they went across the road into the fields.
This time of the year presents a prime time for such accidents with deer to
happen. The bucks are beginning to get the urge to mate and are doing a lot more roaming around. This also makes the does a little edgy, and when they are not ready to accept a buck’s attentions they will run away from him. I have also witnessed this in the many hours I have spent in the woods.
Searching for food will also get deer in trouble as they travel about. I know this sounds unbelievable, but a number of years ago, old friend Norm Van Cor and I spent one early morning cruising the back roads on the northwestern stretch of Con-necticut that borders New York and spotted 124 deer. Most of them were feeding in fields and under apple trees. Many were right in people’s yards!
One day while in New York, I stopped at a local convenience store to get gas and a coffee and the lady inside said to me, “Hi, Mike. Hey, you know, you don’t need to be hunter to kill a deer here in New York. I got one this morning on the way into work with my car. It is go-ing to cost me around $2,400 to get it fixed.”
I asked her if this was her first deer collision and her answer really floored me.
“Nope. This is the fourth deer I have hit while living in New York and every one of them did some serious damage to my cars even though I was not traveling that fast when I hit them. They seem to come out of nowhere and all four acci-dents happened either in the early
evening or early morning.”This is not to say that deer and ve-
hicles collide only in the fall. These accidents can happen anytime of the year.
One year when we had our place in New York, Edna and I were head-ing home to Connecticut on the Fourth of July weekend and counted 29 dead deer on the highways we traveled (about 240 miles). They were all does and fawns, leaving one to wonder what kind of motor vehi-cle carnage they caused upon being hit.
I receive an outdoor publication called New York Outdoor News and they had an interesting article in the Oct. 2 publication titled, “Hitting a deer while driving: What are the chances?” The data was projected as a whole for the insurance indus-try based on State Farm Insurance information.
State Farm’s report said the na-tional cost per claim averages $4,130, up six percent from 2014. (Note: They don’t make vehicles like they used to; today front ends are made out of molded plastics.)
The odds rating for getting in-volved with a deer while driving is based more on the number of licensed drivers in a state and not population. For instance, nearly 10 percent of the country’s deer claims occur in Pennsylvania (126,275 col-lisions), though when taking into account the number of licensed drivers, the state of West Virginia remained at the top of the list with drivers having a 1-in-44 chance of hitting a deer compared to Pennsyl-vania’s 1 in 70.
On a personal note, I know of a man who hit not one, but two deer in Pennsylvania on the same night. Although he did have damage to his vehicle, he was able to drive it after both collisions, neither of which killed the deer.
What’s that you said? You want to know the odds of hitting a deer on Connecticut highways? Connecti-cut is 1 in 293. The other New En-gland states are Maine 1 in 158, New Hampshire 1 in 252, Vermont 1 in 195, Massachusetts 1 in 443 and Rhode Island 1 in 264. Oh, and New York is 1 in 159.
When you think about it, the num-bers can be deceiving. Take Maine, for instance. Over the many years I have traveled to Maine for hunt-
ing and fishing, I have only seen two dead deer on the highways.
The same for Vermont and New Hampshire. Yet when I was in New York, they were almost an everyday occurrence.
According to the State Farm sta-tistics, the top five states where a driver is most likely to have a claim from a collision with a deer, moose or elk are West Virginia (1 in 44), Iowa (1 in 68), Montana (1 in 69), Pennsylvania (1 in 70) and South Da-kota (1 in 73).
The state with the least deer/ve-hicle collisions? Hawaii, of course, where the odds are 1 in 8,765.
When on the road during this high deer activity time, State Farm ad-vises drivers to use extra caution in areas known for high deer densities. In our area, I would say I-691 and Research Parkway, although they are now just about everywhere.
Wear your seat belt at all times and use your high beams at night when there is no incoming traf-fic. Avoid swerving (especially into an oncoming lane) when you see a deer. Keep an eye out for deer on the side of the road and, if one crosses, expect more to follow. And do not rely on devices such as those deer whistles.
Oh, and regarding the cost of a deer/vehicle collision, if you do not have collision insurance you are S.O.O.L. (Surely Out Of Luck).
Atlantic salmon stockings
Having the opportunist to fish for the majestic Atlantic Salmon right here in Connecticut is almost unbe-lievable in my book. The DEEP’s In-land Fisheries Division has already released 250 Atlantic Salmon into Crystal Lake in Ellington and Mt. Tom in the Morris Litchfield area.
They also put 300 salmon into both the Shetucket and Naugatuck rivers recently.
The DEEP will continue to stock the salmon until reaching a total of 1,200. Approximately 1,000 of the Atlantic Salmon weigh between 2-6 pounds each. The other 200 will weigh between 3-14 pounds.
Atlantic Salmon broodstock in the Shetucket and Naugatuck rivers are typically released into three desig-nated areas: between Scotland Dam

and Occam Dam in Norwich on the Shetucket River, the Campville Section of the up-per Naugatuck from Route 118 to the Thomaston Flood Control Dam and the Beacon Falls Section of the lower Naugatuck from Prospect Street downstream to Pines Bridge.
In the Naugatuck, Housa-tonic and Shetucket rivers, the Atlantic Salmon are “catch and release” from Sept. 1 to Nov. 30. From Dec. 1 to March 31, the daily creel limit is one salmon. In salmon waters open to fishing, only gear legal for salmon is allowed.
In lakes stocked with At-lantic Salmon, the regula-tions for methods, seasons, minimum lengths for salmon are the same as for trout in that specific body of water, but the creel limit is one salmon per day. More spe-cific info on salmon fishing can be found in the 2015 CT Angler’s Guide.

Spikers send seniors out in style
They’d already snapped their post-season drought.
It was only fitting that the seniors went out in style.
The Lady Blue Devil volleyball team swept the Fermi Falcons in
three sets (25-16, 25-15, 25-15) on Fri-day, Oct. 30 for a sweet Senior Night victory and the team’s ninth win of
the year.“I think we were consistent tonight.
We started off with momentum and control and we finished the game with control and momentum of the game,” said coach Jen Gombotz. “With Se-nior Night, it was easy to create that strong atmosphere. People are here to see them play on their home court for possibly the last time. It’s just a nice way to finish that season.”
Gombotz, who’s in her first year at the helm for the girls volleyball team, had plenty to be pleased about during the Devils’ final home contest.
Aside from strong contributions from the outgoing senior class – Brianna Lagassey, Myranda LaPira, Shatsada Lovan, Kristen Whalen and Martha Boltromiejuk – several mem-bers of the Class of 2017 stepped up to assure their leaders went out on top.
Setters Jessica Gorski and Erin Brochu played well within the flow of the game to help set up shots for
outside hitter Aminah Tsonga, who’s match-winning point – a rocket of a kill shot down the far sideline that was simply too quick for the Falcons – summarized the contest best: a team on the rise that’s ready to take on any foes that come its way.
“I think we beat a few teams (early on) that the girls weren’t expecting to compete with, and it helped to de-velop their confidence,” Gombotz said. “They worked hard in the offsea-

Redcoats top Blue Devils in a thriller
The annual Redcoats-Blue Devils football game, played on Halloween this year, proved to be a spooky affair
for both sides.
Like a t e r r i -fied movie
character attempting to es-cape from a clichéd hor-ror film’s antagonist, Berlin struggled to pull away from its foes most of the night.
When all was said and done, though, it was Berlin
which came out on top with a 14-6 victory at Southington High School as the team moved to 6-1 on the year.
“We had a great week of practice and I’m thankful that our seniors did a great job to-night in leading us to a vic-tory,” said Berlin coach John Capodice.
For Plainville, the haunting continues, as the Blue Dev-ils (3-4) haven’t defeated the Redcoats since 1999.
“The effort for four quar-ters was great. The kids played their butts off tonight; they played really hard,” Pla-inville coach Chris Farrell
said. “It’s a tribute to these se-niors being great leaders. You can’t fault them on effort.”
After more than 24 min-utes of scoreless action, the Redcoats entered the fourth quarter with a slim 7-6 lead and the game very much up for grabs.
It wasn’t until the 7:25 mark in the final frame that tailback Zach Pajor took a direct snap and scampered to the right pylon for a score that put Ber-lin ahead by eight.
“I was most excited for Zach Pajor. He’s had an injury thats set him back a little this year, and we were able to get
him out in space and he did an awesome job. So I’m really proud of him,” Capodice said.
With time to spare, Plain-ville looked to make one final push to tie the contest. How-ever, a delay of game pen-alty on a fourth-and-one play stalled the Blue Devils’ drive that had seen them charge into Berlin territory with 3:30 to play in the game.
Berlin earned two more first downs to run out the clock.
Pajor helped jump start Berlin’s offensive attack in the first quarter with a 14-yard run to give the Redcoats an
early 7-0 advantage. Plainville struck back later in the frame with a 13-yard score from Jon Lindgren on the quarterback keeper.
Berlin blocked Plainville’s extra point attempt to main-tain the lead throughout the contest.
Despite a low final score, the game proved to be a testa-ment to the strong defensive efforts from each side.
Both squads , known throughout the years for their compact option running at-tacks, implemented different

son with club volleyball and playing with one another, and it’s paying off. Fine tuning a little bit of their mechanics and putting them in the right position defensively has re-ally turned the whole season around.”
At the center of the team’s marked improvement (the girls finished 2-15 during their 2014 campaign), though, have been none other than the Blue
Devils’ senior class. Against Fermi, Whalen recorded 13 assists while Lovan and Bol-tromiejuk constantly sent kill shots wherever they pleased. Boltromiejuk also recorded five blocks.
“They’ve come a long way. Even from the start of the season until now, we’re hit-ting with power,” Gombotz said. “It was just a well put together game by everybody.”
Yet the wins simply didn’t fall into place for the girls this year. In seasons’ past, the team had a tendency to get caught watching the ac-tion rather than reacting.
Gombotz, who served as the team’s assistant coach for several years prior to taking over this fall, made sure to ad-dress the issue early on.
“I told them in the begin-ning of the season when I took over, ‘We can’t play flat footed. If we want to compete with some of the teams in our conference, we have to get to every ball we possibly can,’” Gombotz said. “And they’ve embraced that, and now our passing is getting to the point where we’re generating just as many attacks as our oppo-nents are, so it’s good things all around.”
The Blue Devils (9-8) were set to play in two final matches during the closing week of the regular season in the hopes of improving their standing for the Class M state tournament.

schemes to best maximize their talent.
Berlin went with a direct snap scheme, lining up tail-backs such as Pajor, Jack Hamel, Owen Taylor and Garrett Guite.
Plainville opted for a spread option attack, often using four or five wide re-ceiver sets and countless jet sweeps and quarter-back counters to help maxi-mize the talent of Lindgren, Mikal Salmon and Corey McKisson.
While each offense was able to move the ball throughout the middle of
the field, both defenses stood tall time and time again.
“I thought defensively, ev-eryone did a good job,” Far-rell said of his Blue Devils. “I thought early on we did a bad job of tackling which is something we worked on this week (in practice) and I thought it was something we did a much better job of throughout the rest of the game.”
While the loss dropped Plainville below .500 for the second time this season, the win for Berlin helped to re-move the taste of a bad loss to Avon from their mouths.
Yet while the Redcoats are still very much in con-tention for the playoffs, the matchup with the Blue Devils proved that the home stretch with be far from a cakewalk – for either team.
“This time of year it gets a lot harder to win; every-one’s scouting each other, everyone’s getting tenden-cies, so it gets more and more difficult as the season goes on,” Capodice said.
Plainville will look to get back on track when it hosts East Catholic (4-3) Saturday, Nov. 7 at Veterans Stadium in New Britain. Kickoff is set for 7 p.m.

We won’t let new windows impact your holiday spending.Why? Because you won’t pay anything until next November. Breathe easier this holiday season with no money down, no payments and no interest for a whole year1.
Don’t take a chance on a vinyl window. Vinyl windows can warp, leak and cause drafts, so trusting a poor-quality vinyl window is a poor choice. Our window’s Fibrex® composite material is twice as strong as vinyl.
You’ve got enough on your plate this time of year; we’ve got this.We build, sell, install and warrant all of our windows; that means there’s no middleman to deal with, and as the replacement window division of Andersen, we’re about as trustworthy as you can get.
