PHS Class of 2015 leaves as one By Nate Brown
The Plainville Citizen
Plainville High School bid adieu to the Class of 2015 Thursday night, June 18 during a ceremony on Alumni Field. Friends and family gathered, filling the bleachers, as graduates decked out in blue and white filed into the stadium from the school. Despite their uniformed look, there was nothing identical about the members of the outgoing class. Nearly every student decorated their mortarboards in a way that helped express their individuality. Some caps displayed flowers, others Bible verses or pop culture references such as: “If You’re Reading This I Graduated,” a play on musician Drake’s recent work, and “Class of 2015: Assemble,” a nod to Marvel’s The Alumni Field bleachers were packed for Plainville High School’s graduation ceremony Thursday, June 18.

Local man to swim for a cure By Nate Brown

When asked what impact the $5 million bond project will have on town finances, Lee said, “Our basic debt service is going down so this will not cause the debt line item to go up. The debt service could drop more, but you have to fix the roads. This is the most cost effective way to do it with minimal impact on the tax payer.” The town has surveyed all roads and released paving schedules. Paving schedule 1 leads off with Maple Street, Fairbanks Street, Prentice Street, Forest Street and West Main Street, from Forestville to Bohemia. “The work will start later this summer, after we finish the Northwest Drive bridge project,” Lee said. “Late summer and early fall is a good time to do paving.”
Matthews decided to attempt the grueling swim after hearing that a coworker from the firehouse had been diagnosed with cancer. A week after signing up for the race, Matthews learned that a second coworker also had been diagnosed. Matthews’ association with SAA isn’t something new. This will be the third time he will join forces with the organization in its effort to eradicate cancer. “I had thought that it was time to sign up and do another one, and it was almost like validation when I found out about the second worker,” said Matthews, a gifted photographer, whose work often appears in these pages. Following Matthews’ first swim, a pair of his uncles began a battle with cancer. During that time, Matthews, who has also lost a father-inlaw to cancer and seen two brothers-in-law overcome the disease, took part in his second swim for SAA. While raising awareness and funds on behalf of his family was important to Matthews, doing so for his coworkers has been just as significant.

“There have been some studies done, and it shows that just by being exposed to fires, even though we have our protective gear on, we are at an increased risk of testicular cancer, multiple myeloma, non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, skin, brain, prostate, stomach and colon cancer by anywhere from 21 to 102 percent over the general public,” Matthews said. “So right now, I’ve been very healthy.

Time frame change for turf field project After considerable discussion between the project designers, Kaestle Boos Associates, Kitching, Town Manager Robert Lee, and leadership from both the Board of Education and Turf Committee, it was decided that the best option would be to rebid the project in late June, with minor modifications and a revised time line. Project modifications for the second bid include a latex track surface, modifying the sideline text, storing existing top soil that is removed on site, and several additional minor adjustments that could potentially produce cost savings, without detracting from the overall quality of the project. Under the new time line, construction document revision would occur during the month of June, and the rebidding of the project be-
If the second bid process is successful, the revised time line will have an impact on the boys and girls soccer and football teams’ home game schedule only. The sports will be fully functional throughout the fall season, but it would require alternate locations being secured for some home games. The Athletic Coordinator and coaches are aware and prepared to handle this situation. “Our primary concern is maintaining the quality of
the field we plan for and ultimately install. This adjusted plan provides the best possible opportunity for getting the state-of-art facility our students deserve and for getting it done within the budget,” Kitching said. “We fully understand the potential inconveniences that the time line could cause our soccer and football home game schedule, and we will work hard to minimize the effect if the second bidding process is successful.” — Press Release

tween June 29 to July 27. Once a contract is awarded, construction would begin on Aug. 15 and would include main field earthwork, track resurfacing, practice field earthwork, main field turf installation, and practice field turf installation. Under the new project time line, substantial completion of the fields is scheduled for Nov. 1, 2015. The Community Turf Field Committee will meet again in late July after the second round of bids is opened.

The Turf Project at Plainville High School will move forward, but with a slightly adjusted time frame, according to Superintendent of Schools Dr. Jeffrey Kitching. Members of the Community Turf Field Committee met June 4 to review the project status. Since the previous committee meeting, staff worked with the project’s design consultants and the company that submitted the lowest bid during the first competitive bidding process, in an attempt to cut the cost of the project within the overall budget of available funding. During that period of negotiations, it became apparent that the committee would not be able to reach an agreement with the company and decided not to bring a contract forward to the Town Council in late May.

the four graduates who will be entering the armed forces. While echoing her principal’s sentiments on celebrating the good times, Duda added her own angle on what it will take to thrive outside the confines of PHS. “Real success takes true hard work, dedication and perseverance, and there is no lesson that can teach these attributes,” Duda said. “They must be learned from within.” “Too many people talk about dreams and do not pursue them. It is not enough to be interested in success. You have to be invested in it.” Yawin spoke of the importance of family. “Be just a little happy for us, and a little proud or us, and a little sad to see us go everyday for the rest of our lives,” the salutatorian said. “And we know you’ll be there, just like always.” The graduates heard from a slew of public figures, including Superintendent Jeffrey Kitching, chairwoman of the Board of Education Andrea Saunders and Town Council chairwoman Kathy Pugliese, who read a proclamation for the class on behalf of the council.

PLAINVILLE — John Zawilinski III, 56, of Plainville, passed away unexpectedly at his home on Tuesday, May 26, 2015. Born in New Britain, he was one of six children to John Zawilinski, Jr., of Broadbrook, and the late Helena (Haber) Zawilinski. A lifelong resident, John was a 1976 graduate of Plainville High School. Known for his vast knowledge and multitude of talents when it came to fixing just about anything, John worked for various heavy equipment companies, specializing in mechanics. He had a magnetic personality, especially with children of all ages, and was an upbeat and fun-loving guy who was happiest when surrounded by his family. In addition to having a love for the outdoors, his greatest passion was riding his Harley. He will be greatly missed by his family and endless cir-

Opinion By degree While newspaper pages often are filled with stories gushing about the accomplishments of high school athletes and teams — especially when they’re pocketing state championships — a select group of high school students perform at the highest level, year after year, without much fanfare. These unsung heroes are academic stars. They’re at the top of their class, in fact. They are valedictorians, and we applaud them, with a special tip of the hat going to those from our area high schools.
It’s an incredible feat being named valedictorian. Students sacrifice a great deal to earn the moniker. They dedicate late nights and early mornings to their studies. To keep their grades glistening, certainly they pass up many enticing invitations from friends. They battle stress and fatigue, and the usual teenage drama. But through it all their motivation never wanes, and this is what allows them to graduate second to none among their peers. For their efforts, valedictorians earn the right to ad-
dress their classmates and those gathered at commencement. Depending on the valedictorian, these speeches can leave the crowd laughing, or nodding in agreement. Some valedictorian speeches are tear-jerkers, while others are political statements. No matter the tone, valedictory addresses make it clear to those within earshot that the young speaker is quite special, and destined for big things. History bears out this assessment. This current crop of vale-
dictorians joins an eclectic group of former No. 1 high school students which includes Weird Al Yankovic, Sonia Sotomayor, Dr. Seuss and Jeff Bezos. Pretty good company. Of course, salutatorians — the No. 2 ranked student in the class — are impressive, incredibly driven individuals as well. In many cases, in fact, the difference between the valedictorian and the salutatorian, academically, is minuscule. Some former high school salutatorians? How about
Albert Einstein, Michelle Obama and John Legend. Yeah, salutatorians are exceptional, too. With such promise, we’re eager to see what challenges our local valedictorians and salutatorians tackle down the road. If the past is an indicator, they will thrive in whichever endeavor they pursue. Congratulations to them all, and to the entire Class of 2015!

schools in Connecticut that have this turf, but the cancer scare was not known at the time it was installed. Would they have used it if they knew? What is wrong with grass? You need to mow it, water it, reseed occasionally and perhaps fertilize it. There are healthy sage fertilizers available. The worst that can happen is maybe grass stains on your uniform or some mud on a rainy day. I haven’t heard of anyone getting cancer from grass. Is the rubber-based turf worth the risk of even one child getting cancer sometime down the road? Bob Doolittle Plainville
Originally published in the Meriden Record-Journal.
Letters to the Editor Selfless effort appreciated To the editor: While my family has resided in Plainville for many years and has always enjoyed our well-cared-for Norton Park, recently, I witnesses an act of love there. My wife and I took a new puppy for a walk at Norton Park. During our loop of the park, I watched several adults and children armed with plastic garbage bags and rubber gloves picking up all the trash they could find. There were at least five very young children and six or seven adults. I watched while they quietly moved through the area as they picked up plastic water and soda bottles, dirty napkins, picnic food wrapper, cigarette packs. When they finished, the areas they patrolled were in perfect shape. I asked why they were doing this. They said they were showing the children how to treat our environment and helping others. The effort is part of the work of the Baha’i Faith of Plainville. I asked one young girl why they were picking up this trash, and she knew. She said we are helping others. She added if they did not do
this, the park would not be as pretty. I was moved, and thought why could not this kind of effort be absorbed by each school or scout group or church in a passit-on kind of movement. Why could not each person using the park pick up after themselves? Especially bad was the amount of cigarette butts. Clearly, none of the smokers had been in the military and walked a butt patrol. I just wanted to thank you, from all Plainville residents, for the wonderful lesson of service for others. Dick Ronalter Plainville
Change chicken restriction To the editor: Why should the ordinance in Plainville be changed regarding the amount of space a dwelling should have to have a few chickens? Lately many of you have heard of, or may have seen, the price of eggs at your local store. The reason being given to this increase is because of the millions of chickens that had to be euthanized because of some disease or another. A few extra dollars for a dozen eggs may not seem much, it is not the end of the world. In a few
years we should be back to normal. I see something different in this. Do you ever stop and look at where your food is coming from? It is not close by. Mostly it comes from a thousand miles or more away, often from foreign countries. The better to feed the population of the northeast. Any breakdown in our system could lead to more problems. Raising chickens and having a small vegetable garden is not the total answer but it is a start. Chickens are not that easy to raise. An interested backyard farmer should go to a seminar and learn all the ins and outs about raising them as healthy, happy and productive hens. Roosters are not necessary to the production of eggs. I urge whoever is interested, to contact your present Town Council members, or the candidates for the future council and town officials about revising the present farm ordinance, so that homeowners with under two acres can have some wonderful egg-laying, fertilizer-producing pets. Recently, the Town Council proposed a blight ordinance “borrowed” from our surrounding towns. How about looking at their farm-
Rubber’s too risky To the editor: Do we really want or need artificial turf? Plainville Town Council, school board, Superintendent Kitching, Mr. Lee and other department heads held a meeting June 4 pertaining to this for the high school athletic fields. They received a state grant and a Tinty gift to fund the project. The bids came in too high, so they are cutting where they can to keep the cost down. The problem as I see it is still the ground-up rubber base for the turf. It is linked to causing cancer and injuries. This has been stated on TV, the Internet, and local newspapers since we were offered this money. There are other alternatives to use besides the ground-up rubber, but they are all more costly. Dr. Kitching states the base material should still be used, for other materials have not been used in our region, so not tested. He also thinks the standard material is safe. Yes, there are other

HARTFORD ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION CLINIC
Local Doctors Restore
Men’s Sex Life
HARTFORD • A new medical clinic staffed by local physicians has opened in Hartford recently specializing in only one unique, niche area–men’s sexual performance. Erectile dysfunction and premature ejaculation have long been a problem for millions of men in spite of the popularity of Viagra®, Levitra® and Cialis®. Many men either are not helped by these medications or cannot take them due to medical conditions and adverse side effects. According to the Physicians E.D. Center’s™ Medical Director, Dr. Michael J. Trombley, MD., Board Certified Urologist and author of ‘Seven Secrets Doctors and Drug Companies Don’t Want You to Know about Erectile Dysfunction’, “Our doctors offer a proven treatment with over two hundred doses of custom blended prescription medication that can help almost all men regardless of their age or medical history, including men as young as twenty-one to well into their nineties, with diabetes, heart conditions, prostate cancer, and high blood pressure. All drugs are FDA approved, no surgery is involved and patients will see a 20725-01
licensed Connecticut Physician.” Referred to as “the gold standard,” by the International Journal of Impotence Research, “Our treatment allows our local doctors to adjust the dosage for a man’s performance to 45-minutes, an hour, even 90-minutes,” according to Dr. Michael J. Trombley, MD., “and patients see immediate results in the office. We offer a simple guarantee: ‘If you don’t respond to our medication on the first visit, there’s no charge for that medication or visit.” With that guarantee, local patients have nothing to lose. The Physicians E.D. Center™ books appointments far in advance but occasionally can accommodate someone quickly. The Physicians E.D. Center™ assures patients of utmost privacy and professionalism and has private waiting rooms and an all-male staff. Further information is available by calling (203) 290-2155. The Physicians E.D. Center of Connecticut, 2139 Silas Deane Hwy., Suite 201, Rocky Hill, CT 06067. Exit 24 off I-91. Gas reimbursment if more than 60 miles away. www.PhysiciansED.com

Blue Plate reopens, under new management By Ken Liebeskind The Plainville Citizen
Graham Nicholson, a Plainville resident for 50 years, is a colorful character. A former member of the Plainville Police Department and a restaurateur, Nicholson claims to have introduced karaoke to the United States at the Starstruck chain that started in Plainville. While that boast would be difficult to verify, one thing is for certain; the man does not shy away from a challenge. Nicholson has renovated and reopened the Blue Plate Café under the banner of Blue Plate Tavern. “We want to revive an old Plainville landmark and make it into a fun, clean place where you can enjoy yourself and have good food,” Nicholson said. Nicholson and his wife, Bonnie, who co-own the Blue Plate Tavern, hosted a ribbon cutting event June 19 attended by Town Council Chairwoman Katherine Pugliese and a group of enthusiastic citizens who
sampled the food and looked over the new restaurant. The Blue Plate Café, which first opened in 1940 and closed in December 2014, “was a death trap,” Nicholson said. “We replaced everything, added new floors, a handicap ramp and bathroom. The operative word is ‘clean.’” He hasn’t remodeled the exterior yet but plans to do so in a year. Blue Plate Tavern features “a full American style menu, and all the plates are blue,” Nicholson said. Diners can enjoy half pound burgers, wings, sandwiches, wraps and daily blue plate specials. The Blue Plate Tavern is managed by Nicholson’s nephew, Jeff Lazeren, The restaurant will offer entertainment, from live bands to karaoke, trivia games, pool tables and darts. It also serves as a sports bar with a number of TVs that show a variety of sports networks. The Blue Plate Tavern, located at 180 Woodford Ave., is open every day Graham Nicholson and his wife, Bonnie, to his right, cuts the ribbon to at 11 a.m. and serves lunch and dinner. reopen the Blue Plate Tavern. | Ken Liebeskind / The Plainville Citizen
