Freak storm completely shuts down Plainville By KAITLYN NAPLES STAFF WRITER
The state experienced unusual weather last weekend, causing the city to be left almost completely without power, canceling Halloween for the children in many communities. On Tuesday morning, according to the Connecticut Light and Power website, nearly 99 percent of the utility’s customers in Plainville were without power. By early afternoon, Town Manager Robert Lee said the percentage had gone down to 85 percent. Lee said Tuesday that two crews were working through the town, clearing trees and wires off streets and he said more restoration was expected to begin on Wednesday. “It’s slow, but it’s going
well,” Lee said about the progress being made in the cleanup after Saturday’s storm. Staff members who went through the community said debris blocked the road on Arcadia Avenue and Orrin Avenue; power lines were visibly down on Tomlinson Avenue; and trees were split and lines were down on Paul Street. The town opened up Plainville High School to serve as a shelter, which also had hot showers and wireless internet, for residents. Lee said at one point the shelter had 160 people stay overnight, and served over 300 for dinner Monday night and over 200 for lunch on Tuesday. He said there have been many donations made by

To our readers You may notice that this week’s Observer looks a little different. Like most of the state, our printing plant in Southington lost power and at press time, there was still no electricity on Spring Street. Rather than wait any longer to go to press, we moved operations to Waterbury temporarily to print at the Republican-American.

Trees and power lines were down on Paul Street following Saturday’s snow storm that left nearly all of Plainville without power up through Tuesday morning.

However, it was brought to our attention after publication by the Cartier family that the letter had not been written by/ or signed by Cartier. The
family were unaware of who wrote the letter and stated the views in the letter were not their own.

Storm: Plainville High served as shelter for residents From page 1 local restaurants, like J. Timothy’s and from Gnazzo’s, as well as local food pantries. On Tuesday, Lee said the shelter would stay open for as long as residents were without power. Allison Owsianko, Miss Greater Plainville’s Outstanding Teen, visited the shelter to meet and greet residents and visit. “It was a lot of fun,” Owsianko said. “Most people were just happy to be able to be warm or to take a shower,” she said. According to the town’s website, the transfer station was accepting brush from residents, free of charge, all this week between 1 and 3 p.m. Also,

the Plainville Hazard Mitigation Assistance Workshop that was supposed to be held last Tuesday, was rescheduled for Tuesday, Nov. 22 at 6 p.m. However, the location wasn’t determined by press time. According to pool reports from reporters who flew in a helicopter with Gov. Dannel Malloy on Monday, the governor said “that what looked peaceful from 1,500 feet on Monday, was particularly deceptive.” The helicopter tour took the governor from Windsor Locks, across the Farmington Valley, into the Litchfield Hills, and through New Britain and Glastonbury around the
southern edge of Hartford County. “Assessing the damage of the weekend nor’easter that dumped anywhere from a few inches to nearly two feet on sections of the state, Malloy found himself back in an Air National Guard helicopter,” only two months after he took a similar flight across the state, to assess the damage from Tropical Storm Irene, the report said. “‘Flooding is easier to discern,” the governor said following the 58minute tour that embarked from the national guard base just outside Bradley International Airport in Windsor Locks.”

The governor also asked for aid from the president, and according to a press release, President Barack Obama had declared an “emergency exists” in Connecticut, and ordered “federal aid to supplement state and local response efforts,” as a result of the storm last weekend.

Malloy also said that there was no shortage of gasoline or deliveries to the gas stations. “Snow-covered houses might look beautiful from that height, but as overnight freezing conditions rose toward the 40s by late morning, the lingering white caps wouldn’t have been there if many of those houses had heat running throughout the night, the report said. “The amount of snow covering roofs is quite extraordinary,” Malloy said during the flight. “You can see signs there’s not a lot of power out there.”

Plainville hosts DOT hearing on proposed busway By KAITLYN NAPLES STAFF WRITER
The last of a series of public hearings was held by the Connecticut Public Transpor tation Commission in Plainville last Monday evening. It drew a crowd of opponents of the busway mass transit project. Chairman of the commission Kevin Maloney said the commission is expected to hold about eight or nine public hearings each year, “for the purpose of evaluating the adequacy of rail, bus, motor carrier and other public transportation facilities.” Last week’s session, which was scheduled on its website as a public hearing, allowed residents to offer their opinions the busway project, which is expected to be given final approval by Congress next week. “We are just an advisory board,” Maloney said, adding that the commission includes individuals from all spectrums of the transportation world, including bus riders, rail users, Department of Transportation employees
and more. He said the public hearings are intended to gather opinions of the opponents and proponents, as well as inform the public of facts and updates on the project. “This is a lot of money, a lot of the taxpayer’s money,” Maloney said. “I think we all want to know if it is going to be money well spent.” Transit Administrator for the Department of Transportation Mike Sanders also spoke and answered questions last week. Sanders said $80 million of the $567 million has already been spent, and 80 percent of the funding is expected to be New Starts dollars from the government, with the remaining 20 percent funded by the state. During construction, Sanders said, the project is expected to generate 4,700 job years of work. Once the project is complete, the busway will generate 100 jobs per year, Sanders said. Sanders added that the operating cost is expected to be $10 million per year, with an expected deficit of $7 million.
Bristol mayoral candidate Mary Alford, a Republican, was the first to speak during the public hearing and said “I am here to fight for my city.” Alford said she was concerned with the possibility of Connecticut companies not being used in the busway project. “There is no vehicle to ensure jobs will go to Connecticut companies,” she said, adding that it was an “emotional point.” Alford said she also was concerned with snow removal, since there will be a sound barrier wall for four miles of the busway. Sanders said snow will be removed just as it is on Interstate 84, and may have to be picked up and placed in a truck for removal. “We are able to shut down the busway for a few hours overnight for snow removal if needed, unlike the highways,” Sanders said. Many speakers, like
Bristol Councilman Dave Mills and Newington resident Jack Dooley, said opponents are upset that more public input wasn’t considered during the process of the busway planning. “This is just being railroaded through,” Dooley said. Mills said the people in Bristol are against the busway, “and it is obvious that the people here tonight are against this.” “We are at a crisis and a crossroads in this state, and we feel like this is being shoved down our throats,” Mills said. Sanders said the busway project “is a completion of a system.” He said I-84, from New Britain to Hartford, is the most congested corridor in the region. He said the busway will allow access to that route, through the uncongested areas of I-84, in towns like Southington, Waterbury and Cheshire, with park and ride sta-

tions in those towns and Plainville and Bristol also. Sanders said the ridership now is 11,000 boarding’s per day; the busway is expected to increase to 16,000 boardings per day and the average speed on 84 during peak times is expected to increase by 11 percent. Kathy Pugliese, a Plainville resident and council candidate, said the outlook of the project on a long-term basis “is really unclear to many.” She asked if the project isn’t successfully used, “what happens then?” Pugliese also said she was disappointed that the project kept planning without public hearings. Sanders said the state doesn’t require referen-
dum on issues like the busway and added that over the last 13 years, meetings that have been held have been open to the public. Even though the New Britain council approved to support the busway, one New Britain alderman said he was opposed to the busway, and still is. “I want my city to prosper, but I don’t think this is going to do it,” said Paul Catanzaro, who has a seat on the New Britain Common Council. He said residents in New Britain have spoken against the busway, and proponents have said the busway will be good for economic development. “I don’t see it,” Catanzaro said.

Resident: Please vote row B To the editor: By now, we all are aware we vote on Tuesday, Nov. 8. We also know a little about all the candidates. I know that the Republican candidates running for office will use “Common Sense,” when serving all the citizens of Plainville. The Democrats that have had control of both the Board of Education and the Town Council for many years now, brought higher taxes and distrust. They are not listening to you when you have a problem or suggestion and they have a general disregard for the future of Plainville. When the Republicans controlled the Board of Education and the Town Council many years ago, we had a zero mill increase. In fact, the Board of Education would always return to the town’s “fund balance” all unused monies. They did not encumber the
funds to use as they pleased— unlike the present Board of Education, which never tells us where, why or when they spend the unused funds from year to year. I know what you just read, you already know. I have been saying this for years now but I just had to put it in print. The Republican candidates are ready, willing and able to serve the town and you to “bring back basic” needs (not wants) and “common sense.” I am so happy Kathy Pugliese is “back to good health” and is concerned enough to seek her position on the Town Council again. I served with her for 10 years and I know she is only interested in serving everyone on the same level. Kathy is worried that if we don’t use common sense in running the town, we will be in more trouble than we are now.
Kathy knows we can’t do anything alone that is why when voting you must vote for only the five Republicans for Town Council and four Republicans for the Board of Education. The official ballot states Town Council you can vote for seven but if you do you may end up with all the people you don’t want because of that one vote. For Board of Education, it states you can vote for five again, if you vote for more than the four Republicans, you may end up with the present BOE members. I was just going to write a brief letter to you, but once I got started I couldn’t stop. Boy, I have a lot more to say. If you don’t know me, I am a woman of few words, so I will close for now. For your future, your family’s future and the town’s future, vote only row B. Helen Bergenty Plainville

Former BOE member urges residents to vote To the editor: It has been my honor and privilege to have served on the Plainville Board of Education for the last 12 years. I would like to thank the citizens of Plainville for electing me and putting their trust in me. Although I am not seeking re-election, I feel the need to thank everyone and to encourage all to vote on Election Day, Nov. 8. Every member of the Town Council and Board of Education has been elected to serve the town. We are volunteers who often have different ideas about how to accomplish what is best for the community but we should be able to work together,
come to consensus, agree to disagree if necessary and move forward. We live in a small community and we all have to live and work together. Lately, it has become fashionable to make false accusations and inaccurate statements about the action and intentions of local officials. These statements made in newspapers or in public meetings are counter-productive and serve only to undermine the trust of the citizens of Plainville. What Plainville residents need to know is that there are people, just like them, who are volunteering to fill these difficult positions for the sole purpose of giving back to
our town. I urge you to take the time to vote on Election Day, Nov. 8. Your vote counts more locally than nationally. Lorri Goldsmith Plainville

Helping guide parents through obstacles facing children with autism By KAITLYN NAPLES STAFF WRITER
Every other week, the Plainville Observer will be heading out into the community to put a spotlight on local businesses to find out what makes them tick. Innovative Autism Network Owner: Marcela Nunez History After her son, Ian, was diagnosed with a form of autism, Marcela Nunez would drive to places all over the state to get him the best help he needed. However, it was a struggle going from one end of the state to another for the various services he needed. She decided that with her extensive background in special education and being a board-certified behavior analyst, she would be able to contribute to the everyday obstacles parents go through to get their children the best help possible. About a year ago, Nunez opened Innovative Autism Network in Plainville, a facility that got its name from her son, Ian, and offers applied behavior analysis, speech therapy and occupational therapy, and
houses a creative learning center to help those services to children succeed. “Everything is all under one roof,” Nunez said, adding that it was her mission to be able to provide the services parents needed and be able to educate them as well. Why Innovative Autism Network? Aside from having various services at the same location, Innovative Autism Network also accepts insurance for the services provided, which Nunez said helps make the programs cost effective. Also, Innovative Autism Network collaborates with schools to provide various assessments, staff trainings and workshops, curriculum modification and more. Innovative Autism Network also works on the home-front with parents and siblings for training sessions, including community outings. “Kids are going to have to go to the grocery store, or go out to dinner,” Nunez said, “parents need to know how to work with their children in these different types of settings.” At the facility in Plainville, Innovative Autism Network offers

Marcela Nunez stands in the Creative Learning Center where many groups, programs and other learning experiences are held with the children she provides services to. individual and group sessions for the children, and provides activities that they may not be able to participate in, in other settings. Also, Innovative Autism Network doesn’t only work with children who have autism. Nunez said any child with special needs is welcome to the services at the facility. She said she has had clients from as far as Greenwich using her business, and said parents use her facility because it offers service they can’t find elsewhere. She added that with her background in special education and being a private contractor, and having a child with autism, she can relate to the other parents. She
knows what kinds of services they may need and is able to connect with them. Innovative Autism Network also provides free consultation with parents to gather information to see what kinds of programs would work best for that child. “I am going through the same experiences they are going through, so I can connect with them and help them the best way possible,” she said, adding that her staff members are trained professionals who are second to none. “Our facility works with any child with special needs. The programs are individualized with each child to work on the weaknesses and maximize the strengths,” she

said. What she loves about her job? Even though she said she loves everything, the things she enjoys most are being able to work with the children directly, educate the parents and help them be able to raise their kids to become independent and teach the various skills that can be used at home. Nunez said her passion will always be teaching and she started out as a special education teacher, so she stays as directly involved as possible with the kids who come to her facility.

Director of the Giving Back program said that as of 2011, the service gives over 4,700 meals each month. Groceries are supplied four times a month to 330 unduplicated families and this averages out to about 875 people. This November, Giving Back will be hosting a coat drive to help those in need stay warm
during the winter. Although the tough economy is a somber topic, the program is known for being a social place where people carry on conversations and sometimes bring treats for everyone.

A Southington Church has begun helping residents in Plainville and in turn has received donations from the town. The Tabernacle church’s “Giving Back” program has grown substantially since its inception in 2007 and is now attracting both patrons and donors from outside Southington. The service is conducted every other Sunday and every other Tuesday at 9:30 a.m., meaning that it is available on one day each week. Pastor Mark Castro said that the program used to travel around town, but it became more convenient to make the church itself home base. The ever-worsening economy has brought more and more people to Giving Back over the years. “Most people who come are from Southington, but we get people from Bristol and Plainville as well,” Castro said. “Everyone is welcome to come if they are in need.” Perhaps because it became utilized by some Plainville residents, it drew the attention of the Plainville-based Manafort Family Foundation. The foundation has been making regular donations since 2008 and in September of this year, gave a donation of $2,500.

Fight for Families makes sure it’s there to help By KAITLYN NAPLES STAFF WRITER
Mary Morales has dedicated her life to helping families and individuals who are struggling, and helping them any way she can. Any time of day or night, Morales and her organization Fight for Families, are on hand to help those in need. “Family life doesn’t happen Monday through Friday, nine to five,” said Morales, who has a degree in psychology and environmental science from Yale University. During her time there, she was involved in a “Head Start” program, which provides health, education, nutrition, and parent participation type of services to low-income children and their families. “That was it for me,” she said, adding that she knew she wanted to devote her life to making others lives better. After spending time as a social worker in some of the worst areas of Detroit, Morales came back to Connecticut and started serving the Bristol area consulting for different agencies, until she started Fight for Families as her full-time venture about five years ago. Fight for Families is an organization that works with families, indi-
viduals or agencies, to “improve and empower communities.” Morales said she and her individual contractors work with all kinds of families and individuals, from families with special needs children to individuals who are homeless or have suffered from domestic or substance abuse. Fight for Families also works around the family’s schedule. They accommodations to meet where and when the family wants to meet. She said her strategy is successful because it is based around when the family is ready to ask for the help they need and when they are willing to accept it. She added she will show up for an individual in the middle of the night or during the day, whenever she is needed, in jeans and a baseball cap (which she said makes the people she helps feel more comfortable). Fight for Families also works with area agencies “to bridge the gaps where no services exist.” For example, if an individual is in a hospital and gets discharged, Fight for Families could assist with getting insurance forms filled out or transportation or medication. Agencies would purchase a block of time from Fight for Families “and do whatever they wanted with it.”
Employees of Fight for Families also provide a myriad of other services like getting heating assistance, collecting clothing and food and providing case management services and more. She even uses trained pets, like dogs, for therapy with individuals, which she said has proven to be successful. For individuals, Fight for Families is available when they are needed, even if they don’t receive payment (however because of the downturn in the economy and lack of funds Fight for Families has had to freeze its “pro bono” work). The organization was assisting over 100 families before the summer. Now, there are 60 families on its waiting list hoping for some relief. Heather Shamper was a client of Fight for Families, and has now turned around to give back by offering her services to the organization. “I got so much help from Mary, I want to be able to give back what I got, to other families,” Shamper said, adding that Fight for Families helped her, her mother and her daughter who has autism. Shamper said Morales provided her dog therapy services, which improved her daughter’s self-esteem “beyond belief.”
“Mary has done so much for me, I can’t say enough about her,” Shamper said. “We aren’t here to just ‘put out the fire’,” Morales said, “we help to ‘put out the fire’ and make sure it doesn’t start up again.” She added that when Fight for Families works with other agencies, she sees it as a “collaboration of services” and not competition. She added that Fight for Families serves the purpose of “bridging the gap between services or enhancing an agency’s current services.” “This isn’t Wall Street, these are real humans lives,” and Fight for Families is willing to help whomever they can until they are financially unable to anymore, Morales said, adding that every dime that is made through fund raising and other donations automatically goes into programming and services the organization offers. Fight for Families doesn’t receive any federal funding, so it receives funding through local agencies that utilize its services or through donations from local businesses or other outlets. “We are here to help agencies, families, individuals, anyone; we are just asking for some help back now so we can continue helping those peo-
ple who need it,” Morales said, adding that if funds needed don’t come through, Fight for Families may have to “shut its doors” in the next six months. “Everyone knows someone who needs help; I always tell people that it could be a neighbor, a friend, a family member or even that person one day needing extra services,” she said. Currently, Morales said she is trying to work
with local schools to start various types of programs with students that would “make a better community.” “There are families here that are struggling. If I can make one persons life better, I feel like I have made an impact on the world,” Morales said For more information on Fight for Families visit www.fightforfamilies.us, email fight4families@ aol.com or call (860) 8360324.

Plainville’s good, Bristol Central’s better By MICHAEL LETENDRE STAFF WRITER
BRISTOL – When the Plainville volleyball team puts everything together, it can truly hang with any team in the CCC South. But the Blue Devils played a little bit too much up and down ball against a very determined Bristol Central club and the Rams seized a 3-0 sweep of the Blue Devils from Bristol on Wednesday, Oct. 26.
Girls volleyball Central moved to 125 overall with the victory while Plainville fell to 8-9 on the season. Central’s Emily MacKenzie and Kayla Ziogas led all players with 12 kills apiece while crafty setter Lara Colegrove racked up 18 assists. It was the passing efforts of Colegrove and Emily Cyr that really helped to rack up numerous kills as, once again, the ball was set up brilliantly all night long. Emily Cintorino and Lauren Vallee were tough on the serving front as the duo went a combined 39-of-41 on serves while Cintorino also made 10 digs in the contest. “The three captains, Emily Cintorino, Kayla Ziogas and Erin Cyr, really did a wonderful job tonight in their respective rolls,” said Central coach Jen Broderick.
BRISTOL CENTRAL 3, PLAINVILLE 0 from Bristol Central High School Scores: 25-19, 25-17, 25-11 HIGHLIGHTS: Plainville – Samantha Zaza, 8-for-8 serving; Bristol Central – Emily MacKenzie, 12 kills; Kayla Ziogas, 12 kills; Lara Colegrove, 18 assists; Erin Cyr, 10 assists; Emily Cintorino, 21-for22 serving, 10 digs; Lauren Vallee, 18-for-19 serving. Records: Bristol Central 12-5 overall, 9-4 CCC South; Plainville 8-9, 6-7.
“Cintorino did an outstanding job getting her serve where it needed to be. Erin Cyr with her sets, her court sense and just being able to get everybody where they were supposed to be (on the floor). And Kayla Ziogas had 12 kills over the night.” “She just put the ball away when she got it.” Central’s setting duo of Cyr and Lara Colegrove once again kept the offense moving and once the pair found its hitters’ sweet spots, it spelt doom for the Blue Devils. “I threw Lara into the whole mix when Erin (Cyr) was injured and she does a great job in the front row as a setter,” said Broderick of Colegrove. “They compliment each other very well. Erin has a great serve so she takes the back row while Lara takes the front row.” “They do a nice job getting the ball to our hitters.” Samantha Zaza was a perfect 8-for-8 serving for the Blue Devils while the squad played extremely tough over the first two-and-a-half sets before things finally fell apart. Central took advantage of inconsistent Plainville play throughout the match to pad its
lead. When the Blue Devils were on top of things, the Rams had a harder time scoring on Plainville and the match was on. “We fell behind big in the first set and nearly caught them,” said Plainville coach Steve Compson. “We were close. All sports, to a certain extent, are about momentum and I thought it may have been on our side but it didn’t show up in game two. I think we were neck and neck with them for a little while and then (Central) pulled ahead. We’re sometimes our own worst enemy…if the passing is there, then we’re not putting the ball away.” “If the hitters are waiting for the ball, then we’re not getting the passes to the setter…it’s inconsistencies that keep us from where we should be.” Plainville setter Lindsey Allario ran all over the court to keep the ball moving for the Blue Devils but the visitors had trouble finishing. Allario had plenty of floor burn to show for her efforts on the night. “She wants to do

Blue Devils make comeback By MICHAEL LETENDRE STAFF WRITER
PLAINVILLE – If there was a statement game for the Plainville volleyball team this season, then the Blue Devils 3-2 comefrom-behind-victory over Berlin from the Ivan Wood Gymnasium on Thursday, Oct. 27 was such a contest.
Girls volleyball And after a grueling 3-0 loss to Bristol Central the night before, the victory was ever so sweet for Plainville as the Blue Devils swept Berlin for the first time in quite some time. Coupled with the Blue Devils celebrating its senior night and the emotion the pre-game carried, the match was destined to be a barn burner. And fittingly, it went all five sets and even a little more as Plainville trailed two sets to one – as well as trailing 14-11 in the fifth and final set – before finally shutting the door on the pesky Redcoats. With things looking bleak and Berlin needing just one point to win in the fifth and final match, the Redcoats has three chances to close the door on the Blue Devils but failed on each and every occasion. With the Redcoats in front 14-11, Berlin’s MacKenzie spiked a ball in the next, Jenna Florance drilled a shot that was not returned for a point and MacKenzie hit a shot that two Plainville players just missed touching as the ball went cleanly out of
bounds on the end line and the game became a 14-14 affair. MacKenzie bounced back and drilled her last kill of the night and again, the Redcoats were one point away from seizing the match and now ahead 15-14. From that point, MacKenzie hit a ball in the net, Megan Johnson slipped in a drop shot to put Plainville up by one and finally, Berlin simply couldn’t return the ball one last time as the Blue Devils celebrated on the court and scooped up a 17-15 victory in the fifth and final set. “Both teams just battled so hard,” said Plainville coach Bill Compson. “We saw players making very skilled shots at times, finding the open spots and on the very next play, there would be something where the ball was careened out of bounds or something but somebody got a fist on it, dumped it back over the net and we really got a point because we were hustling…working so hard. It was just a great match.” “I’m glad we won it but every kid that played tonight could be proud of the effort they put in.” Each and every time Plainville could have tossed the towel in, the Blue Devils found a way to keep the set going and the match continued on. Every match point Berlin could have earned to close out the fray was challenged and denied by a hustling Plainville defense. “They stayed right after it,” said Compson of
his team. “This is the team right now, that played tonight, that if you compared and contrasted what you saw last night (in the 3-0 sweep by Bristol Central), you wouldn’t think they were the same people. You would not think they were the same team.” “And the trick for us is trying to bottle a little of bit of this and bring it to the state tournament if we can.” With the win, Plainville finished the regular season with an even 9-9 ledger – the first time the squad has made it to .500 in more than a couple years. Florance ended the evening with a team high 14 kills and went 17-of-18 serving. “I don’t have that much I can say about our team not coming through because they absolutely did in so many ways,” said Compson. “Jenna Florance, we’ve kind of been waiting to see her improve from last year and she said (tonight) ‘I’m not leaving this court with the memories I had (from past years).” “Man, she was on fire in those early games for us.” Johnson chipped in with nine kills and also kept the Berlin defense guessing all night long. Lindsey Allario, once again crashing all over the court, came up with 32 assists. On the serving front, Allario went 11-for-11, Florance was 17-of-18 while Kendra Palaia was

Berlin From page 11 10-of-11. In the first set, Plainville went up 6-5 off an ace by Palaia but from there, Berlin used an 8-1 burst to grab a 13-7 push. Trailing by seven, the Blue Devils used a 5-1 run of its own and closed within 16-14 off a Florance block and point. Once again, Berlin regained its composure and went ahead 24-17 before eventually seizing a 25-17 win and taking a 1-0 lead in the match. In the second game, Plainville surged in front 6-2 and simply never looked back. Nikki Dow, inserting her presence into the match, had two hits that weren’t returned as Plainville held a 10-5 tilt. A block and point by Kathryn Dressel put the Blue Devils up 18-11 and off a Johnson kill, via a sweet feed by Allario, Plainville was on the cusp of taking the set at 24-16. One additional Plainville point later, the Blue Devils grabbed a 2518 win and the match was a 1-1 stalemate. In the third set, it looked as Plainville was
headed to a 2-1 lead in the match but after seizing a 13-10 edge but things quickly went downhill from there. Berlin broke the set open off an 11-2 jaunt and when Brittany Labbadia picked up an ace, the Redcoats led 21-15. Plainville didn’t quit and used a 5-1 jaunt of its own as a Samantha Zaza ace made it a 22-20 game with the home team gaining the momentum. But Berlin scored three of the final four points in the period as the Redcoats grabbed a 25-21 victory and went up 2-1 in the match. The last two sets would require “overtime” sessions as the forth game became a battle of wills. Again, Plainville led early as a crosscourt slam by Johnson propelled the Blue Devils to a 14-12 edge. The Redcoats seized control again and off an 82 zip, Berlin was leading 20-16 and was a mere five points away from the match win. Off a kill by Freeland, Berlin went in front 23-20 but things got tight from there. Freeland tallied another kill and Berlin was on the doorstep of
victory. But off a quick run, which was highlighted by a Florance made kill and a Dressel serve that Berlin nailed out of bounds, Plainville was leading 2524. The match became a 25-all affair before Johnson made a tap over and Freeland hit a ball out of bounds for the final point for the Blue Devils as Plainville pounded out a 27-25 win and forced a fifth and deciding set. In the do or die fifth and final stanza, Berlin took the initial lead. Off a number of Plainville gaffes and a block by Freeland, Plainville trailed 7-3 and took a timeout. Collecting itself, the Blue Devils used an 8-4 burst to tie things up at 11-11. Berlin scored the next three points and was, again, a point away from winning it all. But Plainville made its miraculous comeback, finishing the contest with a 6-1 run to win 17-15 and take the match three games to two.

The Blue Devils followed up with a 10-2 burst and off an ace by Zaza, Plainville trailed by only18-14 but clearly asserted itself in the contest. Kendra Palaia later zipped in a serve that could not be cleanly returned as the Blue Devils trailed only by three at 21-18 before Central used a 4-1 run to

In the second game, it was once again a nip-andtuck affair as neither team could put a stranglehold on the set. Off a 10-10 stalemate, Central took the lead off a 7-1 run and grabbed a 1711 edge in the game as a Ziogas slam from a neat feed by Brianna Mujahid gave the Rams a six-point cushion. The Blue Devils remained poised and went on a 5-1 burst and off a kill by Johnson and an ace by Alicia Gorski, Plainville got within two at 18-16 before things fell apart again.

Set three was more of the same tit-for-tat action and the game was a 7-6 affair in Plainville’s favor off a misplayed ball by Central. Central used a 19-4 spurt to close things out as the Rams won the final set 25-11 and picked up a sweep in a very competitive match. “People need to step it up,” said Compson. “We still have a chance at that if we win (against Berlin on the following Thursday).” Comments?

Good Times Our Night on the Town
Jonathan Edwards is back with ‘My Love Will Keep’ Terryville show benefit for man with leukemia By MIKE CHAIKEN EDITIONS EDITOR
For the past decade and a half, Jonathan Edwards’ recording career has been focused on releasing recordings of live performance. His last album, according to his website (jonathanedwards.net), was 2008’s “Rolling Along: Live in Holland.” But Edwards—who is best known for the classic tracks “Sunshine” and “Shanty” finally entered into the recording studio in 2010 and the result was “My Love Will Keep”—his first studio album of new material since 1997’s “Man in the Moon.”“ Edwards will be bringing his new songs and classic tracks to Terryville on Saturday, Nov. 12 at 7:30 p.m. The concert, which will be held in Terryville High School, is a benefit to help offset the medical expenses for Gary Lass, a cancer survivor currently battling leukemia and who needs a bone marrow transplant. Calling from Maine, Edwards said the decision to record an album of new material was a result of a convergence of energy, interest, and time made available to him to record in a studio. When it came time to begin recording the album that became “My Love Will Keep,” Edwards had some older songs he had written through the years but had never gotten to recording. But as has been his process in the past, Edwards said he
also decided to write some new songs specifically for “My Love Will Keep.” Besides his own material on the new album, Edwards also offers up an intriguing arrangement of the Beatles’ big hit, “She Loves You.” For the album, Edwards slows down the track, removes the insistent beat guitars of the original, and transforms the instrumentation into a jazzy elegiac piano. The new arrangement puts the attention squarely on the lyrics, which reveals a much more melancholy tale than the original seemed to suggest. Edwards said his transformation of the Beatles’ song for “My Love Will Keep” began when he heard an arrangement prepared by friend and collaborator, Eric Lilliquist. Lilliquist’s arrangement gave Edwards the idea to put his own particular spin on the British Invasion staple. Edwards said he came up with an arrangement. But he felt like something was missing. So he played the arrangement for pianist Paul Sullivan to get some input. After Sullivan heard what Edwards had done, he asked Edwards to step away from the piano for the moment. Sullivan than began playing an idea he came up with. Edwards loved what he heard and decided to scrap his original version. And then he worked on
the arrangement as it was played for him by Sullivan. On the new album, Edwards also found himself singing with his daughter Grace for the first time. Grace sings harmony on the track, “This Island Earth.” “It was great,” said Edwards when asked what it was like to sing with his daughter. “It was a dream come true.” The effort was a quid pro quo for father and daughter, said Edwards. Grace, who is in the band The Victory Riders (which is big in France), said she would record with her father if her father would record on one of her band’s tracks for its next album. “I’m so proud of her,” said Edwards. Given his own career in the music business, how did Edwards feel about his daughter entering the fray as well? “I tried to talk her out of it, but she wouldn’t budget,” Edwards joked. Edwards explained he didn’t have much influence on his daughter’s decision to become a musician. “She grew up with her mom. I didn’t get to be her daddy for several years.” But Edwards said Grace’s mother is a singer-songwriter too. So Grace “had that in her gene pool as well as her behavioral experience,” said Edwards For his daughter to become a musician in her own right “was a natural evolution,” said Edwards. Having com from a
singer-songwriter tradition and as a continuing practitioner of songwriting, Edwards was asked what he thinks makes a good song. “It’s good if it tells a story,” said Edwards. “If it shows rather than tells. (It’s good) if the music is married to the words…. It’s got to have soul, energy, color… I like imagery that is down home and real.” Given his definition of a good song, it’s not a surprise that Edwards’ music sometimes veers into the world of country. He said he loves the honesty that comes with country music. But Edwards is quick to note that although his music has a country tinge, he said he wouldn’t categorize himself as a country artist. “I’m somewhere in between. After over 40 years, I’ve finely tuned the art of being uncharacterizable.” When Edwards comes to Terryville, he will be doing so to help out a good cause. For Edwards, it’s important for artists such as himself to help out in the community. “I feel a deep sense of gratitude and compassion for those less fortunate then me,” said Edwards. And he is grateful that he still has his own health. “I hope people come out to the show and have a nice night out,” said Edwards. Edwards said fans probably can expect to hear old songs, such as “Sunshine” and “Shanty,”
Jonathan Edwards comes to Terryville High School on Nov. 12. as well as songs from the new album. And Edwards said you might even hear him burst out and sing a cover song or two. Don’t be surprised, he said, if you hear him perform a rendition of “Proud Mary” or “Brown-Eyed Girl.” Jonathan Edwards will perform on Saturday, Nov. 12 at 7:30 p.m. at Terryville High School, 33 North Harwinton Ave., Terryville. The show is a benefit for cancer sur-
vivor Gary Lass. Tickets are $25, $40 for an artist meet and greet before the show. To buy tickets, go to JEBenefit.webs.com. For more information, call (860) 967-4748 or (860) 314-2777. For more information about Edwards, go to his website at JonathanEdwards.net.
