Day of Caring volunteers assistnonprofits with many projects

By Robin Lee MichelThe Plainville Citizen

Volunteers working out-doors at Domus Amoris hadan appreciative and attentiveaudience last Friday. Many ofthe adopted and foster “chil-dren” of Gary and NancyOrsi were lined up in wheel-chairs outside their home,“House of Love,” on SouthWashington Street to watchthe men and women fromGeneral Electric in Plainvilletackle a variety of chores.

There was certainly a lot towatch. Some volunteers, allwearing cobalt blue T-shirts,clipped bushes and hauledaway massive piles of under-growth. Others raked flowerbeds and planted flowers.Possibly the most massivetask was removing a rotteddeck from the original familyhome located close to the

All this work was at onlyone of the half-dozen sites inPlainville that were beingimproved by volunteersthrough the annual UnitedWay Day of Caring. ManyUnited Ways sponsor theseannual work days includingthe United Way of West Cen-tral Connecticut whichserves Plainville, Bristol,Burlington and Plymouth.

Lisa Bagwell, a GE engi-neering manager, was at-tempting to tame the bushesat the front of the two-acreDomus Amoris property. Shevolunteered because, “It isthe right thing to do to helppeople. I enjoy watchingthem watching us, seeingwhat we’re doing to help.”

Junior members of the town’s Clean Energy Task forceprovide a voice for local youth regarding renewableenergy topics. Students attending the group’s May 12meeting include, front row, from left, Alexis Zysek, De-von Tyrrell and Lajward Khan; back row, Steve Bail-largeon, left, Melissa Moore.

By Brian Woodman Jr.Special to The Citizen

The Clean Energy TaskForce, which consists of

members appointed by thePlainville Town Council,makes recommendations tolocal officials regarding top-ics related to renewable ener-

gy. The task force may recom-mend what vendors to ap-proach when considering thepurchase of solar power pan-els for a town building, for ex-ample.

But this year, local youthalso have a role to play.

Eight members of thePlainville High School Envi-ronmental Club, which be-gan three years ago, serve as

junior members of the taskforce. While these studentsmay not have an actual vote,task force members said,they do have an impact on

the meetings by serving as li-aisons between the schooland the town.

Memorial Day observances evoke pride and thankfulnessBy Robin Lee MichelThe Plainville Citizen

Thanks to Plainville,Memorial Day really meanssomething to me besides athree-day weekend and bar-becue. Thanks to Plainville, Ilook forward to this holiday

when I can see downtownstreets lined with people,many wearing red, white andblue, and waving Americanflags.

For a few hours, the com-munity puts aside budgetconcerns, unemploymentworries and political differ-

ences. The biggest issue be-comes if Mom or Dad will beable to snap a photo of theirchild marching with thePlainville Soccer Club, ifGrandpa stayed dry whileseated on the American Le-gion flatbed float and if Sis-ter and Brother aren’t dash-ing too far into the street tocatch candy thrown bymarchers.

Unlike nearby communi-ties such as Berlin, Farming-ton and Bristol, which can-celled their parades,

Plainville stayed on course,moving the start time onehour to 10 a.m. Manymarchers and viewers worerain ponchos and carriedumbrellas but when the driz-zle stopped, those thingswere put away. Mother Na-ture seemed to have perfecttiming as the weather start-ed to brighten when twoPlainville Police cruisers,lights flashing and sirensblaring, led the way fromBroad Street, to South Wash-ington to West then East

Main streets.The event featured every-

thing a good parade shouldhave: marching bands, batontwirlers and dancers, pag-eant princesses, and friendsand neighbors representingvarious clubs and sportsteams. Children waved totheir parents. Crowdsclapped and called out greet-ings to people they knew. Amilitary jet did a flyby.

The Plainville High SchoolMarching Band paused for afew minutes before the musi-cians smartly stepped downthe street while being filmedfor an audition tape for Dis-ney World.

And of course, the grandmarshals took one of the topspots. This year, thePlainville Memorial Day Pa-rade was led by three femaleveterans: Mary Dumais, whoserved with the U.S. Armyduring the Vietnam War era;Wanda Janowski, who was aMarine Corps staff sergeantin World War II; and KristieRicciardi, who served withthe U.S. Air Force in SouthAmerica in the war on drugs.

Except for a few inconsid-erate hecklers, Plainville’sparade represented every-thing good about the commu-nity, epitomizing why peoplechoose to live in this smalltown, where most peopleknow their neighbors.

When the celebration wasover, many residents headedover to Veterans MemorialPark for a more solemn ob-servance, rememberingthose servicemen and womenwho died while serving theUnited States.

Scott Saunders, who wasparade organizer for the firsttime, acknowledged Memori-al Day and its essential mes-sage that “needs to be remem-bered by future generations.”

A moment of silence washeld in remembrance of StaffSgt. Frank Christiansen, aveteran of Iraqi Freedom,who died in October after bat-tling various ailments result-ing from his military service.During the parade, LindenStreet School students, staff

The Hospital of Central Connecticut is using advanced

robotic surgery to treat a variety of gynecological conditions

in women. These include hysterectomies, cancers of the

female reproductive system and non cancerous conditions

including endometriosis and uterine fibroid removal. The

robot’s tiny little tools allow our surgeons to make the

smallest possible incisions, and to more easily access

difficult-to-reach areas. Patients may recover faster, have

fewer side effects, and experience less pain and scarring.

“We had a great day todayat our 20th Annual Day ofCaring,” said Colleen Boling-broke, United Way director ofmarketing and communityrelations, at the end of theday. “We had over 700 volun-teers at 22 local non-profitscompleting over 60 projects.”

Some people still live inmail order homes

By Brian Woodman Jr.Special to The Citizen

Gary Eisenhauer, a retiredhome renovator, shared hisinterest in tracking downolder local homes orderedthrough the Sears and Roe-buck catalog with residentsgathered for his May 17 lec-ture at the Plainville HistoricCenter at 29 Pierce St.

“It’s my first lecture onanything,” Eisenhauer saidafterward. His search for thehomes in Plainville is an on-going project which beganlast November.

He said there are about 30homes in Plainville that hehas confirmed were orderedfrom Sears, which sold an es-timated 100,000 homes be-tween 1908 and 1940. Cus-tomers ordering homesthrough the catalog neededto provide only land, laborand a foundation, he said.The company transportedthe homes by train.

Sears was not the firstcompany to offer homes thisway. Alladin, a company spe-cializing in this, began in1906. Other competitors in-cluded Montgomery Ward.

Sears offered about 450 dif-ferent styles of home. Exam-ples included the Crescent,which had a crescent-shapedarch over its front porch.

Eisenhauer said the Cres-cent could be distinguished

by its front porch, which hasthree pillars in each corner.He said has found four ofthem in town at 41 TrumbullAve., 150 Red Stone Hill, 62Roberts St. Ext. and 16Unionville Ave.

Resident Art Screen, wholives in the Red Stone Hillhouse, said his house wasbuilt between 1921 and 1926.

“I thought he did an excel-lent job,” he said regardingEisenhauer’s lecture. “I didsome research on my homeabout eight years ago. It did-n’t come close to his presen-tation. I didn’t know therewere that many Sears housesin town.”

Eisenhauer said identify-ing the homes can some-times be difficult becausethey were often renovated bybuyers afterward. Sears alsodestroyed some of its homerecords just before discontin-uing sales, which said hasadded to the mystique of hishobby.

Screen said he received e-mails from Sears representa-tives seeking the blueprintsto his home.

Some of the Plainvillesites are also located in anarea informally known as“Trumbullville,” which con-sists of 80 acres of land onceowned by the Trumbull Elec-tric Company. Eisenhauer

Funding for services and theall-important educationbudget depends on the partic-ipation of those who supportthese things. He writes thathe knows the reason for this.The people who live inPlainville are less educatedand on a lower socio-econom-ic level than those who live inFarmington and thereforedon’t give education moneyhigh enough priority.

Really? What happened tothe 800 stomping irate par-ents who showed up in theWood Gym not so long ago toprotest the Republican coun-cil cutting the Board of Edu-cation budget $200,000? We

have lost them.He thinks that the budget

vote should be taken awayfrom us because it is a wasteof time and money. So, theymay vote in Farmington be-cause they are smarter andricher and I might addclassier, but we should allowa select group of politiciansto make the money decisionsin Plainville without ques-tion. Must we prove this out?

Those who did show up onthe “third strike” vote May24 were greeted at our fire-house, not so cheerily, withan offensive large print no-tice — so that we senior citi-zens can see it — announc-ing that after you vote, youmust leave and cannot re-turn to use the rest rooms.Worse, it is suggested thatpoll workers were lectured

pre-voting about visiting orbeing friendly with voters.Heavens no, don’t encourageany smiling, conversation orcommunity in Plainville.Perhaps someone in chargecould have considered ap-proaching anyone breakingthe rules and quietly point-ing that out. Isn’t that how itwould be handled in Farm-ington?

said the company orderedpre-cut homes during the1920s for its employees.

When the homes were firstoffered in 1908, materialscould be had for as little as$452. By the late 1920s, someof the more expensive mod-els, such as the Lexington,topped out at more than$4,000.

Sears hit its peak for mailorder homes in 1929 by mak-ing $12 million in sales. Thecompany began offering

mortgages for lumber in the1920s but expanded to entirehomes. When the Great De-pression occurred during the1930s, Sears forgave about$5.2 million in mortgagesrather than foreclose on itshomes.

The Plainville golf team hopes tocontinue its strong late-season runwith some tournament success.

The Blue Devils will compete inthe CCC tournament at Stanley GolfCourse in New Britain today, June 2,measuring themselves againstteams from all four leagues in theconference.

“I look forward to it because it’s agood marker for the kids,” Plainvillecoach Steve Guerriero said. “It letsthem know where they sit in theCCC.”

The Blue Devils have plenty of

confidence going in.Plainville (8-5) has won four

straight CCC South matches, cappedby an impressive 155 team score May25 in a tri-match with Platt andBulkeley at Tunxis Plantation. TheBlue Devils were scheduled to finishthe league season at Bristol EasternTuesday, after press time.

Senior captain Aaron Forino, whoshould be a factor in the CCC tourna-ment, shot a career-low 1-under par34 to lead the way for Plainvilleagainst Platt and Bulkeley.

“Aaron had a very consistentround,” Guerriero said. “He had agreat feel all day and his drives weremassive.”

Senior Andrew Hamel shot 38 andjunior Andrew Chapman had 41. Se-nior Jesse Carter and junior StephenBoland added 42s. SophomoreRichard Hanson had a 43, playingjunior varsity.

Guerriero said, with so manyplayers at the top of their games, itwill be difficult to narrow it down tofour players for the CCCs.

Poor weather has not stopped theBlue Devils. They avenged earlier de-feats to Maloney and Middletown inrainy conditions recently. They hadlost to Middletown by a stroke earli-er this season at home before bestingthe Blue Dragons by 22 strokes onthe road, May 23.

“We practice in all conditions,wind, rain, snow, sleet,” Guerrierosaid. “That obviously proved to be ef-fective, because it doesn’t botherthem.”

Forino and Hamel participated inthe Chappa Memorial two-ball tour-nament at Longshore GC in West-port Friday. Guerriero said the duogot off to a tough start, but finished

Plainville chooses to waitCitizen photo by Nick Carroll

Many high school football teams across the state are holding spring practice thisweek — but not the Plainville High School gridders. Connecticut football teams aregiven the option to hold a week of practice at the end of the school year, or to start aweek early in August. PHS coach Chris Farrell went with the summer option; and it’stough to question his decision-making. In 2010, Farrell’s first season on the job, theBlue Devils ran up a regular season record of 8-2, claimed the Central ConnecticutConference Division IV title and qualified for the state playoffs for the first time since1997. Pictured: Back in August, PHS players began preparing for what would be amemorable campaign.

Coach: Team ‘workedhard to the end’

By Nick CarrollThe Plainville Citizen

Sneakers are squeakingon courts acrossConnecticut thisweek as statetournaments arein full swing. Butfor the young

Plainville High School girlstennis team, the book hasclosed on the 2011 season.

The Lady Blue Devilswrapped up their campaignlast week with a 5-2 loss toPlatt at Alumni Field.

Plainville managed justfive wins this spring whileaccruing nine losses. To earna spot in the state tourna-ment, a team must win atleast 50 percent of its regularseason matches.

“Basically our seasoncame down to eight matchesagainst schools with whichwe could compete fairlywell,” said PHS coach ChuckRadda. “We had to win themall, but only won two — andthe loss to Middletown a cou-ple of weeks ago reallysealed the deal.”

Middletown topped theLady Blue Devils, 5-2, to dashthe locals’ hopes of qualify-ing for the postseason.

Plainville’s two winsagainst Middletown came indoubles play. “We were com-petitive in every singlesmatch that day but couldn’tpull any of them out,” saidRadda.

That was a common themethroughout the year. “In thatrespect the season was disap-pointing,” Radda conceded.

However, the veterancoach is not heading into theoff-season with a bad taste inhis mouth. “The kids weregreat and they worked hardto the end,” Radda said. “No-body goes out on the courtplanning to lose. But untilthey know what it’s like tofeel the pressure of thatthird set, and then win it,success is hard to come by.”

Plainville’s doubles teamscarried much of the weightthis spring. The three PHStandems compiled a com-bined record of 27-15.

Unfortunately, with thegraduation of KaitlinLennon, Alma Pietri andAbby Szach, the Lady BlueDevils’ doubles lineup willlook a lot different in 2012.

Plainville also loses AnnaDzilenski, Meghan Gwaraand Ashley Daniels to gradu-ation.

On the bright side, severalvarsity-tested players will beback in action next year,leading Radda to believe theLady Blue Devils could besolid— could be.

“Our success is going torest on our newcomers. Ifthey improve in the off-sea-son, we’ll be strong,” Raddasaid. “If they don’t pick up atennis racquet until nextMarch, I’ll be turning in thesame report next year at thistime.”

to place second in javelin andsecond in high jump. The sen-ior earned all-conference ac-colades in all three events.

In other action, Plainville’s4x800 relay team of IsabellaD’Onofrio, Angie An-drukiewicz, Paula Frejlichand Delaney Russell tookfifth, Ali Caponigro placedsixth in discus and fourth inshot put, and Shea Echols, afreshman, finished seventhin both the 100 and 200.

PHS coach Robin Mills —Millie’s mother — waspleased with her team’sshowing at the CCC Southmeet. The Lady Blue Devils’goal heading into the eventwas to out-point Maloney andPlatt, which they did. Mal-oney and Platt beat Plainvilleduring the regular season.

“It was a good day for us,”Coach Mills said of the CCCSouth competition. “It’s hardfor small teams likePlainville to compete in aconference with largeschools such as Bristol Cen-tral and Middletown. Thegirls gave everything theyhad, and did a great job repre-senting their school.”

Bristol Central won theCCC South team title with 209points. Rounding out the fieldwere Middletown (159.5),Berlin (107), Bristol Eastern(82.5), Plainville, Maloney

(46), Platt (40) and Bulkeley(6).

Bristol Central alsoclaimed the team crown onthe boys side. The champsrolled up a hefty 166 pointsand were followed by Middle-town (100), Bristol Eastern(90), Platt (76), Bulkeley (71),Plainville (70), Berlin (62) andMaloney (62).

Adam Foster was thePlainville boys team’s toppoint-getter at the event. Thejunior was second in both the100 and 200, earning all-con-ference honors for both per-formances. “This is a greatshowing in a very toughsprinting conference,” PHScoach Shaun Berard said.

Also, Foster helped the4x100 relay team to a fifth-place finish. Joining him inthe relay was Brian Lister,Chris Saunders and TonyLoPizzo.

Coach Berard also likedthe work turned in by theBlue Devils’ Andrew Rottier(third place, 1,600), Mike Rot-tier (fourth place, 3,200), Ma-lik Gordon (third place, highjump), Marquille Johnson(fourth place, 110 hurdles),Mark Durkee (fourth place,javelin) and Kevin Spence(fifth place, javelin).

and parents marched behinda banner honoring Chris-tiansen, “hometown hero,”who was a volunteer not onlywith veterans groups but atthe school. Saunders calledChristiansen the “last truepatriot.”

Last year, a Memorial DayEssay Contest was launchedby Dan Hurley, Memorial Dayevent chairman for 25 years,and state Rep. Elizabeth “Bet-ty” Boukus. Students repre-senting each school receiveda $50 savings bond for theirwinning essays. The 2011winners were Noah Gavin,grade 5, Wheeler School; Abi-gail Leander, grade 5, Wheel-er School; Madison Peck,grade 5 Linden Street School;Timothy Keating, grade 5,Toffolon School; Martha

Boltromiejuk, grade 7, Mid-dle School of Plainville; andMarcquille Johnson, grade11, Plainville High School.

Students shared theirheartfelt messages andwords of wisdom while read-ing their essays.

“Make sure when you seeveterans in a parade, standup and respect them... re-spect our flag; it signifiesfreedom,” Keating said.

Memorial Day is a time oftears, memories and tradi-tions, Boltromiejuk said. Shetold about her military penpal who wrote of his loneli-ness being away from hiswife and daughter. “Imaginethe first time you see yourfirstborn child it is onSkype,” she said, referring toa video application used likea telephone on the Internet.

Johnson spoke of hismother’s 20 years in the mili-tary including the National

Guard. “I’d watch Mom getdressed for the parade...Itmade me proud.” He also re-lated his pride in his great-grandfather, who served inWorld War II, and recalledthe man’s flag-draped coffin.“I was proud when they gavethat flag to my great-grand-mother,” he said.

After the placing of memo-rial wreaths amongst theflowers at the foot of fourwar monuments, “Taps” wasplayed by two PHS students.When the notes faded, a fewsniffles could be heard, hugswere abundant and veteranswere thanked. The crowd dis-persed; some people headedto the VFW Post for refresh-ments, others went to localcemeteries where Boy Scoutshad placed flags by thegraves, and still others head-ed to family cookouts.

It was a patriotic day inPlainville.

The structure itself wasthe nexus of engineers fromthe Plainville headquarters,and is made entirely fromparts manufactured by GE.

Ramirez said the solarpanels do collect less energyon cloudy days, and a dial inthe visitors’ center displayshow much energy is beingcollected. He said it won’t af-fect how much energy a cargets, but it will affect howmany cars can be charged atone time.

“The way the systemworks is it’s actually connect-ed to the grid,” Ramirez said.“So it knows that when it’snot collecting enough energyfrom the sun, it takes the oth-er energy that it needs fromthe grid.”

Ramirez said it took abouttwo months to build thestructure, during one of theroughest winters ever.

Lee said the Town ofPlainville is pleased withGE’s efforts and noted thatthe town is interested in in-vesting in solar energy, withsolar panels installed onthree school buildings, sav-ing the town tens of thou-sands of dollars a year in en-ergy costs.

Ramirez said GE is cur-rently putting together aplan to begin providing thesolar panels to residential ar-eas, with a lot of solar prod-ucts already available in Eu-

rope.“Here in the United States,

we’re actually developing aprogram were we’re provid-ing the solar panels, the rack-ing systems, and we’re con-solidating that and we’realso doing the inverter tech-nology that converts the en-ergy,” Ramirez said. “Andthat’s what we’re packaginghere, so by the end of theyear we’ll have a rooftop sys-tem that we’ll also be sellingin the United States.”

He was born in Landshut,Germany, on June 3, 1947, theson of the late Elisabeth (Ha-gen) Buck and the late Gor-don Spears. He was adoptedby his stepfather, the lateAlvia Buck, just prior totheir move to the UnitedStates when he was 10 yearsold. He lived in West Spring-field, Mass., until he graduat-ed from high school, and

then joined the U.S. MarineCorps and served in Viet-nam. When he was hired atPratt and Whitney, he movedto East Hartford and becamean active member of the In-ternational Association ofMachinists and AerospaceWorkers.

He worked tirelessly tomake sure that members hadsome form of job securitywith a contract that also pro-vided decent benefits. Healso became a political ac-

Obituariestivist for the Democratic Par-ty and served on the towncouncil in East Hartford formany years. He felt that poli-tics had to have a significantrole in ensuring that workremained in Connecticutand that policies pertainingto worker rights were intro-duced and protected. Hesponsored many fundraisersand campaigned for those hefelt would represent Con-necticut labor and the issuesthey faced. He was one ofthose unique human beingsthat made a difference. Hemaintained his position asbusiness representative forthe International Associa-tion of Machinist and Aero-space Workers until his re-tirement in 2006 after 32years, during which heserved as a union officialthroughout his employment.His belief in some form of

union representation for theworking class never wa-vered. He and his fianceetraveled around the countryin their camper the“Bucksper.” He extended ahelping hand to anyone thatcame across his path. He willbe sadly missed by his familyand friends. Connecticut losta real soldier in every sense.

Military NewsNew graduate

On April 1, Mitchell J.Boutote completed his dreamwhen he graduated from Par-ris Island, S.C. and became aMarine. Boutote is a 2010graduate ofP l a i n v i l l eHigh School.He knew hewanted to bea Marinesince he was16. WhenBoutote wentto Parris Is-land on Jan. 3, he was threemonths away from hisdream. The family didn’t talkto him or see him for threemonths, the only connectionthe family had to him was let-ters.

When we saw him three

months later, he was so muchdifferent. The only way to ex-plain the difference was thathe was a Marine. When wegot to spent time with him onFamily Day, it was great. Hetold us stories that were fun-ny now, but must have beenhard to go through. Throughall of the hard times in bootcamp, Boutote came throughas one of the top in his pla-toon. He even got meritori-ous promotion to PrivateFirst Class, and became a ri-fle expert.

On April 1, the family sawhim complete a goal that notmany people can accom-plish. He became a memberin the United States MarineCorps.

The graduation was amaz-ing to see; 400 men and

women complete somethingthat seems impossible to do.It was impressive to see 400Marines in perfect sync afteronly three months of train-ing. There were so many peo-ple at the graduation thatcared about him: his mother,Bridget Cassidy; his stepfa-ther, William Cassidy; histwo brothers, Paul Boutote IIand Colin Cassidy; his father,Paul Boutote; and his father’sgirlfriend, Sharon; his grand-parents also came along onthe 13-hour drive to see him.But probably the most impor-tant person that came to seehim was his girlfriend (nowfiancée), Valerie Knapp.

After 10 great days athome, he left to do his train-ing at Camp Geiger, N.C. Itwas tough to say bye to himagain, but now, he is where hewants to be because he isproud to be a Marine.

a commercial for a productfrom its own business.”

Foody said the revenuefrom GE Energy producedabout $150 billion last year,and about 100 jobs wereadded.

Patrick spoke to the crowdabout Farmington Bank’s ef-forts to embed itself into thecommunity, with a new loca-tion in Plainville that openedless than a year ago. He saidwhile GE is on the corporateend of the business spec-trum, Farmington Bank sitson the opposite end as a com-munity bank.

“I think there’s a tremen-dous similarity about their[GE] commitment to the com-munity and ours. We’ve beenmaking significant invest-ments in what we call people,technology and franchise,and our franchise has beengrowing throughout CentralConnecticut.”

Patrick said the newlyadded branch in Plainvillecouldn’t handle the capacitycoming into the office, andproduced a 15-20 percentgrowth during economic

downturn as well as hiring150 new employees from thecommunity.

Tierney offered adviceabout how to deal with banksand how to improve chancesof getting approved for aloan. He urged small busi-nesses to not get caught in atrap where they feel theycan’t grow because they aretoo small. He added thatbanks want to work with peo-ple, not businesses, and theywant to be partners, but theywant to make sure the appli-cant is as committed to theagreement as they are.

“If you’re not in it with

two feet, it’s too easy to walkaway,” Tierney said.

He added banks only makemoney by making loans, andthey only want two things inreturn from a loan applicant:repayment of loan as agreed,and deposits and future busi-ness of the applicant.

Director of Economic De-velopment Mark DeVoe saideveryone “certainly heardsome good news” from thespeakers, and that Plainvillehas some more good newsheaded its way.

“I’m very pleased to an-nounce that new develop-ments coming through in-

volve a cancer center and amedical arts building on thePlainville/New Britain line,”DeVoe said.

He added that some of thelarger businesses in townhave been expanding, includ-ing CT Tool and Manufactur-ing, Gem Sensors and Con-trols, and Connecticut SelfStorage.

“Gem Sensors is expand-ing its facility,” he said, “andas one of largest manufactur-ing employers in Plainvilleand getting bigger, we’re verypleased with that.”
