George Zlotnick started his company, Zlotnick Construction Inc., in 1948 after returning from World War II. He was a member of the Elite 17th Airborne Division that jumped behind enemy lines on March 24, 1945, in Wesel, Germany, as part of Operation Varsity. The largest airborne assault in history. Zlotnick started his construction company in Mansfield Center, Conn., constructing small outbuildings such as chicken coops for local farmers, and, in a measure of diversity, he also had his own chicken farm, which was managed by his wife Zenia who was named “Poultry Woman of the Year” in 1955. In 1957, much of the farm see ZLOTNICK page 12

DOT to Demolish Bridges in Fall River as Part of Route 79/Davol Street Project One Massachusetts Route 79 overpass along Fall River’s waterfront has been brought down by demolition experts, while two more bridges are meeting the business end of construction equipment, including one whose absence will drastically change the view for many drivers in the southeast Bay State town. The Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT) began work to tear down the Cory Street U-turn overpass May 8, and planned to do the same to Fall River’s President Avenue overpass starting May 15. Construction work on the Mass. Route 79/Davol Street
Corridor project is set to take place Mondays to Fridays from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Detours are in place 24 hours a day during the bridge demolition work period. MassDOT is flattening the area between the two halves of Davol Street at the waterfront and removing bridges that once held Mass. Route 79 expressway lanes. The project started in February, part of a years-long effort to remove the expressway and transform Davol Street into a ground-level urban boulevard. The Herald News reported May 5 that since demolition of see BRIDGES page 14
