Nicholas Reyna is one of thousands of kids who have benefited from the Sunshine Kids Foundation, which funds fun-filled trips for chil-dren with cancer.

Reyna, now 26, is a Sun-shine Kids volunteer who will bring children to enjoy a ski

weekend at Powder Ridge in Middlefield this March.

The ski trip is made possi-ble by a grant of $7,500 from the Petit Family Foundation. A check was presented to the Sunshine Kids Foundation Dec. 23, along with checks for two other charities.

BIKE PROJECT ROLLS ON

Students in Dan Warner’s Introduction to Transportation class at Plainville High School have completed another project to refurbish bicycles to “like new” condition. The broken down and unclaimed bikes are provided to the transportation class by the Plainville Police Department and town residents. The goal is to inspect, repair and refurbish each bike to a safe and usable condition. The bikes are then donated to the Plainville Community Food Pantry for Plainville residents.

way construction industry.The Neal Court space had

been occupied by the Na-tional Eastern Steel Company and has been vacant for about 10 years.

Mark Devoe, Plainville’s director of Planning and Economic Development, said Gerdau plans to employ approximately 40 people, including an office and engi-neering staff. Employees may

be hired locally, but a repre-sentative from Gerdau was unavailable to comment.

Gerdau produces long car-bon steel, long special steel, flat steel and forged and cast parts that are used in a vari-ety of industries, including automotive, rail, construction and farming.

75 Neal Court is a 245,000 square foot building with other tenants who will re-main once Gerdau occupies its space.

Kids Foundation, Petit Fam-ily Foundation President William Petit Jr. said: “As a physician, I’ve seen kids with cancer, and they are a local group that will affect a lot of kids. It’s a lot of bang for the buck and they’re the kind of people we want to help with the mission.”

Reyna suffered from a germ cell brain tumor at the age of seven and complications from chemotherapy and ra-diation treatment and spi-nal issues that led to back surgery. “I’m the only one in the history of Connecticut to survive the surgery,” he said, “and I’m still doing karate.”

Brooks Tomb, director of the Sunshine Kids regional office in Hartford said Reyna was the national “spokeskid” for the charity in 2007 and is considered the senior Sun-shine Kid today.

Reyna visited the Petit Family Foundation office in Plainville with Tomb on Dec. 23 to accept the check that will fund the Sunshine Kids ski trip.

The Petit Family Founda-

tion also presented a $10,000 check to a representative of the Susan B. Anthony Project and a $5,000 check to Hoops for the Homeless. The Susan B. Anthony Project, based in Torrington, supports vic-tims of domestic abuse and sexual assault in Northwest Connecticut. Hoops for the Homeless in New Britain sup-ports local projects that di-rectly address homelessness of local children and families.

“Our mission is to educate young people and help peo-ple affected by violence and chronic illness,” Petit said.

The Petit Family Founda-tion was founded in 2008 after Petit’s wife Jenni-fer Hawke-Petit and their daughters Hayley and Mi-chaela were murdered in their Cheshire home on July 23, 2007.

The foundat ion has awarded $1.25 million since 2008 and issues grants for $300,000 a year, Petit said.

This year, a signature grant of $100,000 was awarded to the Multiple Sclerosis Proj-ect in Simsbury to support Ojakian Commons, a 48-unit housing complex designed to accommodate people with multiple sclerosis and intel-lectual disabilities. “It is the first facility of its kind in the country,” Petit said.

Business news?The Plainville Citizen

P.O. Box 57Plainville, CT 06062

[email protected]

So you want to start a small business?The United States is

home to millions of small businesses. While many thrive, there are certain

risks and challenges that often accompany operating an independent company. If you’re think-ing about starting a small busi-

ness, keep these consider-ations in mind.

• Create a business plan. When you’re fired up about an idea, it’s easy to overlook the details. A busi-ness plan forces you to de-fine your business goals and how you plan to achieve them. It also helps you ex-amine your competition and identify where your products or offering fit in the mix. Lastly, a thorough plan includes the strategies and tactics you will employ to move from ground zero to profitability and the costs and timeframe for getting there.

• Beware of going “all in.” You may have read about people who maxed out their credit cards or mortgaged their homes

to fund a business that brought them quickly into wealth. Unfortunately, this is not the norm and the odds are stacked against this financial house of cards. Think twice before putting everything on the line for your business. In-vest as much time and en-ergy as you can afford, but avoid overextending your-self financially as you pur-sue your business plan.

• Test the waters. To minimize your financial risk, consider launching your new business on a small scale before quit-ting your day job. Many small businesses have been started on the side while entrepreneurs maintain a full-time job. The idea here is to keep income flowing until your business is viable and you can pull a salary without compromising your income.

• Save for a rainy day. Even the savviest entre-preneurs can get caught in a market down cycle. And no one can predict all the things that might affect your bottom line. Individu-als who are in business for themselves are doubly in need of a financial buffer should things take a turn

for the worse. If sales falter, you’re still on the hook for your business expenses, and you need to pay your-self too. Build savings into your business plan and keep your credit in good standing so you have access to cash if and when you need it.

• Invest wisely. When you do need to put money into your business, be smart about spending so that your dollars multiply down the road. Hire competent peo-ple who are as passionate about the business as you are.

• Protect yourself. Ev-ery business is vulnerable to potential risks, and it’s important to think about the worst case scenarios and how you’d handle them. What if a fire destroyed your office? Would your company collapse if you or a key employee were injured? If a customer, ven-dor or employee sued your business, could you afford your day in court? There are insurance products made to address all of these risks. Factor in adequate protection as part of your cost of doing business.

• Create an exit strat-egy. When you’re just

starting out, it’s hard to envision the day you’ll turn the reigns over to someone else. Succession plans are an essential part of a sus-tainable business, especially if you hope to sell and use the proceeds to fund part of your retirement.

• Seek financial advice. If you’re serious about starting your own business, get on the right track with financial guidance. Find a qualified financial advisor

to look over your shoulder as you develop your busi-ness plan and launch your new career. Their financial acumen and fresh perspec-tive can help you steer clear of financial trouble.

Letters to the Editor

Writer wrong on Robertson

To the editor:I am writing in response

to the Dec. 18, 2014 Letter to the Editor regarding Rob-ertson Airport. The writer makes statements and in-nuendo that are simply not true.

Yes, Plainville does own the airport, and no, the tax-payers do not subsidize the operations. I am pleased to state that the airport has been self-sustaining, with a modest surplus annually af-ter payments in lieu of taxes to the town. To be clear, the town is paid an annual amount equal to normal real estate taxes if it were pri-vately owned. No subsidies are provided by the town.

Secondly, the writer is correct about the general aviation use of the airport, but the activity is exactly what has been the normal activity for the past 30 years, all with the blessing and approval of the FAA and Connecticut DOT. Plain-ville has the good fortune to have one of only a handful of general aviation airports in Connecticut that provide far reaching economic op-portunities in central Con-necticut. The writer clearly recognizes the general avia-tion use, as he mentions that flights come to Plainville

from Hartford. We all should consider the many reasons to utilize Robertson Airport, including training flights as well as additional opportu-nities including fuel, repairs, local dining and shopping in addition to business meet-ings, as some of the benefits of the stops in Plainville.

With regard to the opera-tions of the airport, minutes from each Aviation Com-mission meeting are posted on the town website. The financial reports reviewed at each commission meet-ing are available in the Town Manager’s Office. In addi-tion, any citizen can attend commission meetings.

The Aviation Commis-sion, with the assistance of our Town Council Liaison Patrick Kilby and the Town Manager, oversees the ac-tivities and makes recom-mendations to the council as appropriate to assure continued success at our airport.

More alternatives needed

To the editor:A few years ago my wife

and I, with others, attempted to revise the farming zon-ing regulations in Plainville.

What we were seeking was to change the size of the lots from 87,200 square feet to 12,000 square feet, to allow a small flock of chickens, the same as all our surrounding towns. After much discus-sion, presentation, and many signatures on petitions the Zoning Board rejected the proposal. It seemed kind of strange that the vote was 0 to 7.

Jumping to the present, last November we went to the polls and voted on the future of the Old Linden Street School, and the out-come was an overwhelming “no.”

Now, you wonder what these two issues have in common? When we lost our appeal, we were not happy with it, but we accepted it. Unlike some members of the Town Council, we did not ask for it to be done over again because maybe our presentation was not right, or that the people on the board did not under-stand its presentation or that we did not get enough signatures. When the Town Council brings Old Linden Street School up again – which they will – will they give people more than one alternative? Maybe then, our farming regulations should also be revisited.

A woman was robbed at gunpoint in the parking lot of the Gulf station on Camp Street Friday morning.

She was approached by a man as she walked to her car about 8 a.m., said Detective Sgt. Nicholas Mullins.

The man showed a gun and demanded money, Mul-lins said.

He fled with cash in a black, four-door Ford Focus with Connecticut license

plates. No injuries were reported. The suspect is described

as in his mid-20s with a brown mustache, about 5-feet 9-inches tall with a thin build.

He was wearing a dark-colored winter hat, black jacket, blue jeans and black boots.

Anyone who witnessed the incident or can help identify the suspect is asked to call Mullins or Detec-tive Marc Rivard at (860) 747-1616.

Police investigating armed robbery outside gas station By Lauren SievertSpecial to The Citizen

Kathleen Williams, 64, a Plainville res-ident, was arrested by the Farmington police Dec. 31 and charged with larceny and forgery for al-legedly writing 188 checks to herself for $246,000 from SAR-JAC Partners, the company she worked for.

The checks were written over a three-year time frame

from October, 2011 to September, 2014. She is also alleged to have put herself in for more than $35,000 in unauthorized over-time during the same time frame.

Williams was ar-rested on East Street in Plainville and

was processed and held on $250,000 bond.

REMEMBERING THE NEEDY

The DECA and FBLA clubs at Plainville High School partnered to adopt families to feed over the Thanksgiving holiday. Students in the DECA club collected donations of canned goods, and the FBLA club collected spare change. The donations were combined to create “Thanksgiving Baskets,” each of which contained a 15-pound turkey and the trimmings for a complete traditional Thanksgiving meal. The donations allowed the clubs to adopt and support seven families in the area.

It’s been 40 years since Bridgeport experienced a poltergeist, and today read-ers can relive the horrific events in a new book by Pla-inville resident William Hall.

Hall, who grew up in Bridgeport and was 10 years

o l d w h e n t h e h o m e o n L i n d -ley St ree t was invaded b y s p i r -its in 1974, wrote The World’s Most Haunted House,

which was published in Au-gust. Hall will discuss his book at the Plainville Pub-lic Library Thursday, Jan. 15 at 7 p.m.

Hall wants people to know that the poltergeist on Lind-ley Street really took place. “You now hold in your hands more proof of the Lindley Street Poltergeist than you have about most of the be-liefs you hold true in your life,” he writes, near the end of the book.

But he also writes, “I started with an opinion – the haunted house on Lindley Street was most likely a hoax, and that is what I expected to find. After investigating, I have a belief. I now realize it really happened.”

Hall overcame his initial disbelief by analyzing au-diotapes made in the 1970s and conducting recent inter-views with police, paranor-mal investigators and other witnesses.

His book depicts the events that occurred in the Lindley Street home of Gerry and Laura Goodin and their daughter, Marcia, that be-gan in 1968 after Marcia was adopted and strange noises were heard in the home. The noises were a prelude to the shocking events in 1974, when a refrigerator, televi-sion and other items in the house began moving around uncontrollably. “A couch be-gan to rise and they heard

sounds in the house, dishes rising out of the sink and fly-ing around the room … five knives rose out of the knife block and flew across the kitchen,” Hall writes.

“This looks like a polter-geist!” John Goodin said, while Laura Goodin claimed, “Evil spirits are trying to kill us.”

Hall describes the evil spirits as physical entities. “The force was revealing it-self to them,” he writes. “It resembled a large, cohesive assemblage of smoky yellow-ish-white gauzy mists, four figures, four entities.”

Bridgeport police and fire-men investigated the situa-tion, along with priests and paranormal investigators. The police announced it was a hoax because they wanted to get rid of the crowds.

“But the police knew it wasn’t a hoax, there were 25 officers there, including wit-nesses in the house when it happened,” Hall said.

The poltergeist activity ended in the Goodin’s home in 1975 when Marcia re-turned to school. “It usually involves dysfunction in the family,” Hall said. “Marcia had been ridiculed at school and beaten up and was stuck at home when the phenom-enon really exploded. It will

haunt the people, and the house is more of a conduc-tor. If a different family lived in the Lindley Street house it probably wouldn’t have happened.”

When asked where the spirits may have come from, Hall said, “Scientists are talking more about unac-counted for energy. Multiple galaxies are spawned in mul-tiple universes.”

The author said, “I think it’s an important story to tell because it got so public. Rarely do these things have so many witnesses, and it went around the world. This book is one to give someone who wants proof and hasn’t experienced it. It won’t change people’s minds who don’t believe but if you have an open mind it will be the book for you.”

Hall will have copies of the book available at the library event on Jan. 15, along with a slide show and excerpts from audiotapes. “There will be snippets of witness inter-views of deceased and living people, so you’ll get to hear from people who were in-volved,” he said.

Sports

Boys basketballDespite stumbling out of

the gates, the Blue Devils have found success in recent matchups, as the boys went 2-0 last week to improve to 2-4 on the season.

During the team’s annual Rybczyk Tournament, Plain-ville earned its first victory of the season, a 49-46 deci-sion over Terryville. After falling behind 14-8 after the first eight minutes of play, Plainville outscored Ter-ryville 30-18 over the next two quarters to take charge.

Senior Austin Butler was as cool as the other side of the pillow, scoring 19 points to lead all Blue Devil players. Senior Jayden Lococo and ju-nior Tim Dixon added nine points apiece for the victors, with 12 of their 18 coming from downtown. Junior An-drew Schuman contributed six points for Plainville.

The Blue Devils gained an-other first later in the week by securing their first victory of 2015 with a 73-37 thump-ing of Fermi. Dixon caught fire, ending the contest with a game-high 20 points, in-cluding four 3-pointers. But-ler had another impressive game, scoring 16. Junior Mi-kal Salmon added 10 points for the locals while junior teammate Matt Festa added eight. Schuman contributed six to the victory, with Lo-coco adding five.

Plainville has not reached two wins this early in the season since its 2010-’11 cam-paign, when the team fin-ished 9-11.

Girls basketballThe Lady Blue Devils lost

their only matchup this past week, falling at the hands of a talented Pomperaug team

during the final day of the Rybczyk Tournament, 54-28. The loss dropped the girls to 3-4 on the year.

Despite some struggles on the offensive end of the floor, Plainville has contin-ued to play to its strengths by preaching defense first. The game against Pomper-aug proved to be only the second time this season that a team has scored 50 or more points against the Blue Dev-ils, as the girls are allowing an average of 42.1 points per game. Unfortunately, Plain-ville’s shortcomings on of-fense have prevented the

locals from boasting a bet-ter record through their first seven games of the year; the Lady Blue Devils are only av-eraging 35.4 points per game.

The local girls have been led by their strong senior class, as Deja Nolan, Deja Samuel, Rachel Lancaster and Megan Dalena have all provided leadership and the occasional offensive spark. Junior Stephanie Martino has continued to perform well.

The Plainville Wrestling Club was rather busy during holiday season.

On Dec. 21, PWC ath-letes took part in the Bristol Gladiator Holiday Wrestling Tournament.

Local wrestlers Kyle Vois-ine and Alex Hernandez both took home first place finishes in their respective divisions, while Angel Wren took home a second place finish and Dominic Pedrolini a third.

The group didn’t stop there. The PWC took part in the Bethel New Year’s Bash Tournament Dec. 28, and

Joey Kennedy led all Plain-ville participants with a first place finish. Deondre Jenkins finished second in his divi-sion while Hernandez fin-ished third in his.

The team finished its hol-iday stretch with a strong showing at the Southington Sharkfest Tournament, held Jan. 4. Jenkins and Voisine fin-ished first in their divisions, while Kennedy and Hernan-dez were second.

Tyler Babowicz also fin-ished second on the day, while Pedrolini wrapped up third place.

Many wrestlers standing out

Kyle Voisine has gotten off to a fast start for the Plainville Wrestling Club, and has taken home two first place finishes in his past two of his last three tournaments.

Travel hoop teams improving, winningFifth/sixth grade girlsThe Plainville fifth and

sixth grade girls travel basket-ball “White” team improved to 2-0 to finish 2014 by de-feating Winsted 35-12. Tessa Susco and Val Simoneau led the way offensively while Simoneau, Olivia Hergott and Elena Gorneault sparked the defense by hitting the boards.

The girls opened up the new year with a command-ing victory over Litchfield Blue, 38-3.

Gorneault led the way with 18 points and five rebounds

while Simoneau and Susco each added eight points. Her-gott led the defense with nine rebounds.

Seventh/eighth grade girls

The Plainville seventh and eighth grade girls travel bas-ketball team recently notched a win against Litchfield by a score of 27-21. The leading scorer was Caitlin Barker, who notched 19 points in the victory. Olivia Wazorko and Alyssa Roy were standouts on defense.

Plainville fell at the hands

of Wolcott 42-25 to begin the new year. Barker was, once again, the leading scorer, as she put up 16 points on the day. Roy pulled down seven rebounds while Mag-gie Cronkhite contributed on both ends of the floor.

Seventh grade boysDespite being out-sized,

Plainville’s seventh grade boys travel team still hung tough and hustled during a recent 38-19 loss to Suffield. Fabi La Oz and Peter Diaz each scored six points and recorded plenty of offensive

rebounds while admirably de-fending Suffield’s strong post presence. Logan Miller (5 points), Louis Passaretti (2) and Tanner Calhan (3) found plenty of holes in the defense and attacked the basket with quick moves throughout the game.

Eighth grade boysThe Plainville eighth grade

travel team recently fell at the hands of Granby, 54-47. After leading the entire game, Pla-inville ultimately came up short in an overtime thriller. The team was led by Pey-

ton Warnat’s 18 points, while Brady Callihan (10 points) and Tyler Davis (7) added strong contributions. Sam Lestini and Alec Karal han-dled the boards for Plainville.

In other recent action, Pla-inville came away with a re-cent victory over Bolton, 48-39. Callahan led the way with 19 points, Ben Dough-tery added 13 and Warnat netted10. The defense was led by Tyler Miller, Lestini and Karal, as the boys used a to-tal team effort to come away with the “W.”

From Page 14

When Gov. Dannel P. Mal-loy made it known earlier last week that highway tolls could again be used to raise revenue to repair roads and bridges, it drew a mixed response from residents and legislators.

Malloy said he will submit a plan to improve highway in-frastructure in February and that it could include tolls, re-viving a decades-old debate about whether tolls should again be placed on state high-ways. Connecticut closed its tolls almost 30 years ago because of concerns about pollution and a toll plaza ac-cident that killed seven peo-ple and traumatized the state.

In 1955, the state began con-structing the Connecticut Turnpike, 129-mile toll high-way connecting New York City to Rhode Island. Tolls were also installed along the Merritt and Wilbur Cross parkways, including one in Wallingford near the Route 150 overpass.

Three decades later many residents had tired of the tolls for various reasons, including a horrific 1983 accident at the Stratford toll plaza that killed seven people.

“The decision was made to remove the eight toll plazas on the Connecticut Turnpike and the one on the Bissell Bridge by (Dec. 31, 1985),” ac-cording to the Connecticut History website.

Legislation in 1986 also re-quired tolls be closed on the Merritt and Wilbur Cross parkways by 1988.

Since Malloy’s announce-ment last week, residents have taken to social media to voice opinions.

State Rep. Mary Mush-

insky, D-Wallingford, said she agrees the idea of tolls is worth exploring because the decline in gas prices has meant less revenue for the fund to repair roads and bridges.

“With the downward curve of the gas tax we will proba-bly need tolls in the future, or at least a bigger gas tax, for the rising costs of highway re-pairs,” Mushinsky said.

State Sen. Danté Bar-tolomeo, D-Meriden, said she’s heard from constitu-ents who both support and oppose tolls. She agrees, how-ever, that a more dependable revenue stream is needed for roads and bridges.

“At this point in time, I’m not sold either way,” Bar-tolomeo said. “I need to see that there’s a clear cut benefit to adding them.”

Mushinsky feels a consti-tutional amendment guaran-teeing toll revenue could only be used for road maintenance would make tolls more attrac-tive to lawmakers.

But state Sen. Joe Markley, R-Southington, said there is always a possibility that toll revenue could be used for other purposes.

“Our problem is not that we don’t have enough reve-

nue. We’re just spending too much money,” he said.

State Rep. Len Fasano, R-North Haven, said tolls are another tax and that existing revenue should be used for highway maintenance.

Markley also has safety concerns.

“It’s a barrier across the highway,” he said.

Mushinsky countered that technology has changed dras-tically over the past 30 years, making tolls much safer.

“Tolls can be done so you don’t have to slow down,” she said.

Since removing tolls, the state has received federal funding for road projects. Both Markley and Fasano said if the tolls return in Connecti-cut, there’s a possibility the state will have to repay the federal government.

“We were entitled to hun-dreds of millions of dollars of federal highway funds, which we didn’t get when we had tolls on the highways,” Mark-ley said. “We would lose that money if we put the tolls back on or there would be a ques-tion of paying some of that money back.”

Neither Malloy nor his rep-resentatives could be reached for comment Friday, Jan. 2.
