Memorial Day parade delights crowd By Ken Liebeskind The Plainville Citizen
The Plainville Memorial Day parade proceeded smoothly Monday, with residents lining the streets to watch the marchers, before a concluding ceremony took place at Veterans Memorial Park. Before the parade started, members of the Holy Trinity Anglican Church on East Main Street gave out free coffee and donuts to veterans. The parade kicked off at 9 a.m. on Broad Street and encircled downtown Plainville on Washington, West Main, Crown and Maple streets before reaching the park. The Connecticut Patriots from Plainville led the marchers, followed See Parade / Page 2

The Girl Scouts and Brownies followed, with the Plainville Little League, Sandy’s Baton Twirlers, the PHS Marching Band and the Plainville Soccer Club rounding out the parade. Many marchers threw candy into the crowd as they paraded down the route, and youngsters eagerly snatched up the pieces. Meghan Hurley Mitchell, parade chairwoman, hosted the post-parade ceremony. She honored Ruth Hummel, the parade grand marshal, who died April 4 after a long illness. The chairwoman

Two students on MSP’s Minionizers team, Ella Schwartz and Emma Lopez, competed at the world championship in Kentucky. Technology education teacher Camille Westfall said, “There were teams from all over the world and they had to overcome language barriers to work with other teams. Teams worked together to score points and the experience helped students learn how to strategize, communicate and make adjustments with five minutes to spare.” Prior to the world champi-
onship, the MSP robotics team competed in competitions in West Hartford, Danbury, Mansfield and Manchester and placed within the top three in all events, which earned the team a spot in the world championships. Team members explained the competition at the Town Council meeting, with details on the robot they designed and the computer programming and research it entailed. Westfall said all the work involved was performed by the students. “Adults can guide, but can’t build the robots. It’s all about student learning,” she said.

Tess and Ivy have a dramatic story. They were just one-day-old when a car pulled up to a veterinary office, threw them out and sped away. It took great effort from their foster mom, with round-the-clock feedings and lots of doubtful times, but the kittens pulled through their tough moments.

Opinion
$5M road bond to be voted on June 16 The following was submitted by the Town Manager’s office: On Tuesday, June 16, Plainville residents will have the opportunity to vote on a $5 million bond appropriation to repair various streets in town. If approved, the plan is to spend approximately $1 million over the next five years to repave local streets. In a meeting held on May 5, Director of Technical Services John Bossi, Director of Physical Services Carmen Matteo and Roadways Superintendent Dominick Moschini advised the Town Council with a paving strategy that will be used if the Road Bond is approved on June 16. Town staff has reviewed the paving and repair history of all of the streets in Plainville and considered when they were last paved as well as the condition of the roadway pavement. It was noted that a good number of local roads are in poor condition with cracks covering more than 50 percent of the roadways. This
winter season was a particularly rough season for the roads with the extreme low temperature and the amount of frost conditions that occurred. They explained that the cracks allow for water to get under the road causing further deterioration with the freeze/thaw cycles. Many roads have not been paved in over 30 years. They went on to further explain that each street will be evaluated for the best level of paving criteria. Some may require crack filling, crack and joint sealing, while others may require more extensive repairs and improvements including milling, drainage, utilities and curbing. Due to budget constraints, spending on town roads has been very limited over the last 15 years. The plan proposed by town staff would attempt to re-pave local roads at least once every 25 years. “Past budgeted amounts would come way short of that goal and some type of catch-up is needed before the roads fall completely apart
and major reconstruction would be needed,” remarked Robert Lee, Town Manager. He went on to state that “this is a very opportune time to approve a Road Bond as our current debt service schedule will be significantly decreasing over the next six years as several major projects are being retired.” Over the next six years, the annual debt service payments will decrease by over $1.5 million. This is roughly equivalent to over $18 million of new bonding at the current interest rates. “What this means is that the Road Bond can be absorbed within the town budget in future years without increasing the debt service line item,” explained Lee. Town Council members unanimously voted to recommend the Road Bond referendum and encouraged every
resident to approve same. Katherine Pugliese, Town Council Chairman remarked, “It is time to address our local roads. Based on our debt service schedule, this can be started with minimal impact on future budgets. If the roads are allowed to further deteriorate, they will become significantly more expensive to repair. I urge all Plainville residents to vote yes on June 16.” The referendum will be
held at the Fire House on West Main Street, 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. Information about the roads in Plainville and when they were last paved can be found at www.plainvillect.com or by contacting the Town Manager’s Office at (860) 793-0221, ext. 201. Any questions regarding the Road Bond can be directed to Robert Lee, Town Manager, at relee@plainville-ct.gov or at (860) 7930221, ext. 201.

The Wheeler art show is a school-wide event By Ken Liebeskind The Plainville Citizen
There are 315 students at Frank T. Wheeler Elementary School and all created original works of art put on display in the school auditorium May 21. “It’s the first time we’ve done this,” said Principal Andrew Batchelder. “Students, parents and teachers wanted to display a piece of art and the PTO art committee formed.” Samantha Miller, who chaired the PTO committee, attended the event with her daughter Madyson, a third grade student.
“It started in December and kids had to do something that was special to them, so they drew 6-inch by 6-inch squares that we put together into quilts,” she said. Th e q u i l t s fe at u re d squares of original pieces of art that were arranged by grade, from pre-K to fifth grade. Fifth graders also created paper mache vases that were displayed on separate tables. Art teacher Linda Helming has taught at Wheeler for more than 20 years. She said, “Kids came up with symbols of what represented them – butterflies,
giraffes. They personalized it. The kids loved it. They didn’t lose interest and really enjoyed it.” Parents and their children attended the event and snapped pictures of the original art work displayed on the quilts. “It’s students, teachers and parents working together as a team,” Helming said. “Wheeler School is a community and this event is good community outreach.” Miller said the quilts will be cut at the end of the school year so students can bring their original works home.
