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 thinking about starting a Jeff Jolly small business, keep these considerations in mind. • Create a business plan. When you’re fired up about an idea, it’s easy to overlook the details. A business plan forces you to define your business goals and how you plan to achieve them. It also helps you examine 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. Invest as much time and energy as you can afford, but avoid overextending yourself financially as you pursue your business plan. • Test the waters. To minimize your financial risk, consider launching your new business on a small scale before quitting 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 entrepreneurs can get caught in a market down cycle. And no one can predict all the things that might affect your bottom line. Individuals 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 yourself 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 people who are as passionate about the business as you are. • Protect yourself. Every 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, vendor 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 strategy. 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 sustainable 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

Kids Foundation, Petit Family 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 radiation treatment and spinal 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 Sunshine 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 victims of domestic abuse and sexual assault in Northwest Connecticut. Hoops for the Homeless in New Britain supports local projects that directly address homelessness of local children and families. “Our mission is to educate young people and help people affected by violence and chronic illness,” Petit said. The Petit Family Foundation was founded in 2008 after Petit’s wife Jennifer Hawke-Petit and their daughters Hayley and Michaela were murdered in their Cheshire home on July 23, 2007. The foundation 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 Project in Simsbury to support Ojakian Commons, a 48-unit housing complex designed to accommodate people with multiple sclerosis and intellectual disabilities. “It is the first facility of its kind in the country,” Petit said.

Opinion Letters to the Editor Writer wrong on Robertson
from Hartford. We all should consider the many reasons to utilize Robertson Airport, including training flights as well as additional opportunities including fuel, repairs, local dining and shopping in addition to business meetings, as some of the benefits of the stops in Plainville. With regard to the operations of the airport, minutes from each Aviation Commission meeting are posted on the town website. The financial reports reviewed at each commission meeting are available in the Town Manager’s Office. In addition, any citizen can attend commission meetings. The Aviation Commission, with the assistance of our Town Council Liaison Patrick Kilby and the Town Manager, oversees the activities and makes recommendations to the council as appropriate to assure continued success at our airport.

By Ken Liebeskind The Plainville Citizen It’s been 40 years since Bridgeport experienced a poltergeist, and today readers can relive the horrific events in a new book by Plainville resident William Hall. Hall, who grew up in Bridgeport and was 10 years old when the home on Lindley Street was invaded by spirits in 1974, w ro te Th e World’s Most William Hall Haunted House, which was published in August. Hall will discuss his book at the Plainville Public Library Thursday, Jan. 15 at 7 p.m. Hall wants people to know that the poltergeist on Lindley Street really took place. “You now hold in your hands more proof of the Lindley Street Poltergeist than you have about most of the beliefs 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 audiotapes made in the 1970s and conducting recent interviews with police, paranormal 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 began 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, television and other items in the house began moving around uncontrollably. “A couch began to rise and they heard
The World’s Most Haunted House was published in August. sounds in the house, dishes rising out of the sink and flying around the room … five knives rose out of the knife block and flew across the kitchen,” Hall writes. “This looks like a poltergeist!” 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 itself to them,” he writes. “It resembled a large, cohesive assemblage of smoky yellowish-white gauzy mists, four figures, four entities.” Bridgeport police and firemen investigated the situation, 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 witnesses in the house when it happened,” Hall said. The poltergeist activity ended in the Goodin’s home in 1975 when Marcia returned 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 phenomenon really exploded. It will
haunt the people, and the house is more of a conductor. 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 unaccounted for energy. Multiple galaxies are spawned in multiple 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 interviews of deceased and living people, so you’ll get to hear from people who were involved,” he said.
Visit the library on Sundays The Plainville Public Library is now open Sunday afternoons from 1 to 5 p.m. Patrons will find a full range of services available including: books and videos, computer access, reference assistance, programs and more. The library will be open on 14 Sunday afternoons from Jan. 4 to April 26 excluding Easter and the weekends of Martin Luther King Day and Presidents Day.

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.

Boys hoops heating up; Girls fall below .500 By Nate Brown

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. | Submitted by Kris Spence
Many wrestlers standing out The Plainville Wrestling Club was rather busy during holiday season. On Dec. 21, PWC athletes took part in the Bristol Gladiator Holiday Wrestling Tournament. Local wrestlers Kyle Voisine 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
Boys basketball Despite 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, Plainville earned its first victory of the season, a 49-46 decision over Terryville. After falling behind 14-8 after the first eight minutes of play, Plainville outscored Terryville 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 junior Tim Dixon added nine points apiece for the victors, with 12 of their 18 coming from downtown. Junior Andrew Schuman contributed six points for Plainville. The Blue Devils gained another first later in the week by securing their first victory of 2015 with a 73-37 thumping of Fermi. Dixon caught fire, ending the contest with a game-high 20 points, including four 3-pointers. Butler had another impressive game, scoring 16. Junior Mikal Salmon added 10 points for the locals while junior teammate Matt Festa added eight. Schuman contributed six to the victory, with Lococo adding five. Plainville has not reached two wins this early in the season since its 2010-’11 campaign, when the team finished 9-11.
Joey Kennedy led all Plainville participants with a first place finish. Deondre Jenkins finished second in his division while Hernandez finished third in his. The team finished its holiday stretch with a strong showing at the Southington Sharkfest Tournament, held Jan. 4. Jenkins and Voisine finished first in their divisions, while Kennedy and HernanGirls basketball dez were second. The Lady Blue Devils lost Tyler Babowicz also finished second on the day, their only matchup this past while Pedrolini wrapped up week, falling at the hands of a talented Pomperaug team third place.
Austin Butler goes up for a shot against Terryville during the final night of the Rybcyzk Tournament. Butler scored 19 points and Plainville notched its first win of the year.
Deja Samuel looks to get a shot off against Pomperaug during the final night of the Rybcyzk Tournament. Plainville fell by a final count of 54-28.

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 continued to play to its strengths by preaching defense first. The game against Pomperaug proved to be only the second time this season that a team has scored 50 or more points against the Blue Devils, as the girls are allowing an average of 42.1 points per game. Unfortunately, Plainville’s shortcomings on offense have prevented the
locals from boasting a better record through their first seven games of the year; the Lady Blue Devils are only averaging 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. Send us your sports news: sports@plainvillecitizen.com

Travel hoop teams improving, winning Fifth/sixth grade girls The Plainville fifth and sixth grade girls travel basketball “White” team improved to 2-0 to finish 2014 by defeating 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 commanding victory over Litchfield Blue, 38-3. Gorneault led the way with 18 points and five rebounds
while Simoneau and Susco each added eight points. Hergott led the defense with nine rebounds. Seventh /eighth grade girls The Plainville seventh and eighth grade girls travel basketball 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 Maggie Cronkhite contributed on both ends of the floor. Seventh grade boys Despite 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 defending 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 boys The Plainville eighth grade travel team recently fell at the hands of Granby, 54-47. After leading the entire game, Plainville 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 handled the boards for Plainville. In other recent action, Plainville came away with a recent victory over Bolton, 48-39. Callahan led the way with 19 points, Ben Doughtery added 13 and Warnat netted10. The defense was led by Tyler Miller, Lestini and Karal, as the boys used a total team effort to come away with the “W.”

When Gov. Dannel P. Malloy 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 infrastructure in February and that it could include tolls, reviving a decades-old debate about whether tolls should again be placed on state highways. Connecticut closed its tolls almost 30 years ago because of concerns about pollution and a toll plaza accident that killed seven people and traumatized the state. In 1955, the state began constructing the Connecticut Turnpike, 129-mile toll highway 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),” according to the Connecticut History website. Legislation in 1986 also required tolls be closed on the Merritt and Wilbur Cross parkways by 1988. Since Malloy’s announcement 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 probably need tolls in the future, or at least a bigger gas tax, for the rising costs of highway repairs,” Mushinsky said. State Sen. Danté Bartolomeo, D-Meriden, said she’s heard from constituents who both support and oppose tolls. She agrees, however, that a more dependable revenue stream is needed for roads and bridges. “At this point in time, I’m not sold either way,” Bartolomeo said. “I need to see that there’s a clear cut benefit to adding them.” Mushinsky feels a constitutional amendment guaranteeing toll revenue could only be used for road maintenance would make tolls more attractive 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 drastically 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 Connecticut, there’s a possibility the state will have to repay the federal government. “We were entitled to hundreds of millions of dollars of federal highway funds, which we didn’t get when we had tolls on the highways,” Markley said. “We would lose that money if we put the tolls back on or there would be a question of paying some of that money back.” Neither Malloy nor his representatives could be reached for comment Friday, Jan. 2.
