If you survive the initialshock, the jump can bequite invigorating.

That’s how several par-ticipants in this year’s Po-lar Plunge described jump-ing into four feet of icy wa-ter when it’s only 45 de-grees out.

A portion of the frozenpond at Camp Sloper wascut Saturday to allow 80

participants in teams offour to jump in to helpraise money to send localchildren to camp duringthe summer.

“It’s good for the kidsand I can cross it off mybucket list,” said JerryBrick, a member of theteam representing LakeCompounce.

In another round of grantsfor educational programs inthe Southington school dis-trict, the Southington Educa-tion Foundation has spreadout over $12,000 to six differ-ent programs on Jan. 17.

In its third year, BethPestillo, chairperson of theSEF Grants Committee, saidthe amount of money givenout and success of the pro-grams, it feels like the foun-dation has been around

longer. To date, the founda-tion has given out 46 grants.

“We challenged educatorsto think outside the box,”Pestillo said. “We have won-derful staff who rose to theoccasion, and who continueto rise.”

Mary Jane Sullivan, mu-sic teacher at Strong Elemen-tary School, received $3,700for the purchase of 50 ukule-les to be used in her program“Ukulele Buddies.” The pro-gram will invite seniors fromSouthington to come to theschool during the day and

learn the instrument withthird grade students. Sulli-van said she was inspired bythe grandparents breakfastheld at the school, and howstudents would demonstratetheir recorder-playing skillsand grandparents would tryto keep up.

“A senior and a third-grad-er can learn from each oth-er,” Sullivan said.

She said the class is intend-ed for beginners, and noknowledge of music is need-ed. She plans to start outteaching one chord andstrumming patterns, andhopefully progress fromthere.

“Everyone can learn or besuccessful in music, not justthe talented few,” she said.

Paula Gorham then spokeabout her program, “Count-down to Kindergarten,” forwhich she received $700. Asan extended day kinder-garten teacher at South Endand Kelley elementaryschools, she said she noticedhow students were strugglingwith concepts that “you hopethey would have gotten.” Hersolution to the problem is toassemble bags for parents topick up on the day they regis-ter their child for kinder-garten, which contain white-Citizen photo by Julie Sopchak

Kennedy review goes smoothlywith state, DePaolo still to come

By Farrah DuffanySpecial to The Citizen

Members of the MiddleSchool Building Committeewere in high spirits during acommittee meeting Jan. 22 af-ter getting positive newsfrom the state about plans forthe renovation of KennedyMiddle School.

After filing the planningcompletion test for Kennedylast Tuesday, the architectur-al firm Fletcher Thompsonreported to the committeethat the state constructiondepartment was pleasedoverall with the project. De-Paolo Middle School’s reno-vation paperwork, designsand site plans will be filedwith the state on Jan. 29. Al-though the projects for bothschools are identical, theyare being looked over sepa-rately.

Angela Cahill, the projectmanager for Fletcher Thomp-son, told the committee thatthe six-hour-plus meetingwith state officials wentsmoothly. The project is un-der the recommended squarefootage, which means it’snow eligible for a greater re-imbursement from the statethan it was under the initialplan.

A second referendum isneeded to approve an addi-tional $4.7 million after aproject overrun of nearly 10percent and $6 million for thecleanup of polychlorinatedbiphenyls. Instead of the $85million approved by voters in

November 2011, the newbudget is $89.7 million.

“We are now in the processof going over revisions,”Cahill said.

“It’s really exciting,” saidMelissa Sheffy, a buildingcommittee member. “Goodjob.”

Cahill said the firm hasbeen working hard to gothrough about 39 commentsfrom the state review, tryingto quickly make the revi-sions to keep the project ontime. Cahill said she hopes toschedule a second planningcompletion test with the re-vised comments for the statefor Kennedy by Jan. 30.

“It sounds (like) all posi-tives, so let’s keep that go-ing,” said Edward Pocock Jr.,the chairman of the buildingcommittee.

Brian Goralski, a buildingcommittee member, said thenext step is to spread theword across the communityabout the second referendumon March 19. That’s alreadyunder way. Chris Palmieri,vice chairman of the com-mittee, has made multiplepresentations about the mid-dle schools at various meet-ings. School SuperintendentJoseph V. Erardi Jr. has set 23dates to talk to staff, officialsand community membersand promote the projects.

“I want to thank the boardfor being such a good, cohe-sive team,” Palmieri said.

The building committee’sJan. 29 meeting was can-celed, as Fletcher Thomp-son’s design team continuesto work on the revisions tothe Kennedy plans.

#1 Customer Satisfaction

STEM center planned at Camp SloperBy Farrah Duffany

Special to The Citizen

The Southington Educa-tion Foundation is planningto raise money about for alearning center at CampSloper.

The building, to be namedthe STEM Center (Science,Technology, Engineeringand Math) will be availableto all students and teachers

for classes, field trips and re-search. It expected to costabout $1 million and be com-pleted by the end of the 2014.

Dawn Miceli, educationfoundation chairwoman,said when the nonprofit or-ganization formed in 2009,members started thinkingabout a signature project.

“There will be more cre-ative programs and outside-of-the-box thinking where

students will travel to CampSloper and get their handsdirty with different proj-ects,” Miceli said.

Mark Pooler, director atCamp Sloper, said the YMCAis “extremely excited” aboutthe opportunity.

“It will be a very nice up-grade and unique opportuni-ty for kids in the Southing-ton school system to havesome sort of science centerdedicated to hands-on learn-ing,” Pooler said.

Bill Lutz, a member of theSEF executive board and for-mer member of Meriden’sBoard of Education, hasbeen working with architec-tural firm Friar Associatesto come up with some pre-liminary plans for the one-floor, approximately 5,000-square-foot building.

About half of the interiorwould be dedicated to coun-

ters, lab equipment, state-of-the-art technology and more.This would be a place, Lutzsaid, where students couldconduct experiments. A fewsmaller classrooms of about750 to 900 square feet wouldallow for teacher presenta-tions and demonstrations. Alarge concrete patio in therear of the building will beused as an outdoor gatheringspot.

The exterior will matchthe others on the camp’sproperty, Pooler said, andwill be next to the skate parkin an empty field.

Lutz and Miceli have beenworking with DaleRiedinger, the K-12 scienceand math curriculum coor-dinator for the district, tomake sure the center mesheswith school curriculum.

There is also a chance thatthe building name could be

changed to STEAM to addarts to the center.

“We don’t have anythinglike it right now and we real-ly want to provide thathands-on learning that is socritical to our students thesedays,” Miceli said.

By the spring, Miceli said,the SEF will kick off theircampaign for the STEM Cen-ter. If funding for the projectgoes smoothly, Lutz said,they hope to break ground inthe next year to 15 monthsand complete the building in6 to 8 months’ time.

“We hope,” Lutz said, “toget this building up and run-ning soon.”

The foundation, which op-erates separately from thetown’s Board of Education,is dedicated to funding proj-ects that are not part of thetown’s school funding.

Southington Chamber of Commerce, is scheduled forThursday, Jan. 31, at the Manor Inn Restaurant, 1636 Meri-den-Waterbury Turnpike.

Artists in Alzheimer’s program show work at libraryBy Erin K. Butler


During the month of Janu-ary, the Plainville Libraryhas added inspiring pieces ofart to its walls of words.

The exhibit, HeARTfeltCreations, contains a collec-tion of approximately 25pieces of art, varying fromlinocuts, monotypes, printsand ceramic paintings. Whatmakes this particular artunique is that every piece isdone by artists who are partof the Assisted Living or DayProgram at the Alzheimer’sResource Center of Connecti-cut in Southington.

The library, which fre-quently holds art openings toshowcase exceptional localtalent, was more than happyto host its latest group ofartists, especially after see-ing the pieces of work.

“The art therapist from thecenter came to see the spaceand it was a good fit for thetypes of pieces they had,”said Peter Chase, Director ofthe Plainville Library. “I wasso impressed by the quality of

All of the pieces being dis-

played at the library havebeen created within the lasttwo years under the guid-ance of an art therapist, mu-sic therapist and other staffat the center.

Chelsea Norton, the Direc-tor of Day Services for the

Alzheimer’s Resource Centersays the art exhibit is notonly an excellent chance forthese artists to have theirwork publicly displayed, butalso helps to bring moreawareness to Alzheimer’s.

“The artists are so proudto have their work displayedand this a good opportunityfor us to remind the commu-nity that someone withAlzheimer’s or Dementiastill have so much to offer,”said Norton. “Often they justneed helped getting startedand facilities like ours pro-vides an environment that

can help bring out their cre-ative strengths and capabili-ties.”

Chase encourages the pub-lic to come view the art at thelibrary and he hopes thepieces on display will be ap-preciated as not only beauti-ful, but also inspiring.

Zoni sends out survey to constituentsBy Farrah Duffany


State Rep. David Zoni, D-Southington, is mailingnearly 5,000 surveys to resi-dents that will help himgauge how constituents feelabout the state budget.

“I want to know what’s ontheir minds and what sug-gestions they may have con-cerning the many issues weface in Connecticut,” saidZoni, who represents the 81stDistrict. “I look forward tohearing from Southingtonresidents as they share theirideas with me.”

Zoni started his first termon Jan. 9.

The survey, which can becompleted and returned bymail or done online, asks cit-izens to identify areas theyfeel need to be protected, re-duced a lot or reduced a little.

The survey states: “unlikethe federal government, ourConstitution requires us tobalance the budget. In orderto do this we must be self-sac-rificing. Therefore, we needto identify further cuts tobalance the budget.”

Following the statement,there is a list of 24 programsfor people to click onwhether they should besaved or cut. Some of the op-tions include public schools,tax breaks for individuals,

veterans’ services, roads andsenior health care.

Brian Goralski, Board ofEducation chairman, sharedsome of his ideas with Zoniduring the board’s legislativebreakfast on Jan. 10. Unfund-ed mandates and more localcontrol were discussed.

Cheryl Lounsbury, a mem-ber of the Town Council,hopes that the state will lookat businesses leaving thestate, and job creation.

“The state is in such trou-ble it’s hard to say what else

they are going to be able todo,” Lounsbury said.

Lounsbury said Zoni’s sur-vey will help to gather opin-ions from all demographics.

Chris Palmieri, a towncouncilor, “applauded” Zonifor his efforts to reach localresidents with the survey.Palmieri is most concernedabout funding for local proj-ects such as the $89.7 millionrenovation of Kennedy andDePaolo middle schools. Hewants to make sure the townreceives the 56 percent reim-

bursement it is eligible for.“This will ultimately save

local residents money,”Palmieri said.

Goralski hopes that sincethe project has already beensubmitted to the state, the re-imbursement rate won’tchange.

Palmieri, Lounsbury andGoralski all agreed that un-funded mandates are a hugeproblem.

“It would be nice to getstate funding,” Palmieri said.“It’s a ripple effect. Whateverhappens at the state will im-pact us at a local level be-cause if we don’t get fundingwe planned on from the state,then we have to fund locally.”

Residents can fill out thesurvey online by visitingwww.housedems.ct.gov/zoni.

practice also has a blooddraw station which is open tothe public.

“We are very excited to bein our new space and offerarea residents expandedservices,” says Anne Hor-batuck, NEMSI chief operat-

ing officer. “We are more pa-tient-focused and can providea one-stop shopping experi-ence where you can haveyour X-ray and then see ourexperts for the results andtreatment options.”

To protect patient and em-ployee safety, two new liftingdevices will also be available.A ceiling lift is installed inthe radiology exam room andcan safely lift and move a pa-tient weighing up to 880pounds almost anywhere inthe room.

boards, books, and otherlearning tools for parents tofamiliarize their child withletters and numbers beforethey go to class.

“All kinds of different toolsto them be a little more pre-pared for kindergarten,” shesaid.

While prospective kinder-garteners fuel their brains,seven teachers at Southing-ton High School have lofty

goals of fueling tractors withbiofuel made from algae oil.Teachers Rich Niro, Dave De-francesco, Sal Spagna, JessQuinn, Justin Mirante,Patrick O’Keefe, and TroySchinkel hope that by spring-time, the tractors that main-tain the SHS athletic fieldswill be running off of biofu-els.

“That’s our goal, are wegonna be there? We’re hop-ing,” Niro said.

The $3,300 they receivedwill go towards the process ofextracting the oils from thealgae, Niro said, and stu-dents will be researchers andengineers for the process,overseeing the experiments.

O’Keefe spoke to the effi-ciency of the biodiesel inquestion, saying potentially,one gallon could fuel a trac-tor for an entire week.

“We could theoreticallyuse this if we ramped it up,”O’Keefe said.

Thalberg Elementary

School speech pathologistJulie Zellner received $1,500for her program, “Tying To-gether Language, Literacy, &Core Standards withBraidy,” which relies on theuse of a stuffed figurine,“Braidy,” that helps studentsre-tell a story. Zellner saidshe noticed a lot of studentswould hear or read a story,but would sometimes havedifficulties re-telling it, soBraidy has different compo-nents designed to help kidsvisualize how a story is puttogether.

“It’s interactive, kids real-ly like it,” Zellner said.

Derynoski ElementarySchool teachers Michelle Gi-nand, William Walker, andMaryBeth Eckert received$3,000 for “Young Artists andEntrepreneurs,” where stu-dents will create functionalpieces of pottery, and learnhow to market and sell thepieces, re-using the funds forstudents of next year’s pro-

gram and donating whatev-er’s leftover to a charity oftheir choice. Ginand said theprogram will intertwine art,social studies, and econom-ics.

Joanne Grant received$280 to essentially start abank at DePaolo MiddleSchool. She said she wouldreceive gratitude from olderkids who were grateful forlearning how to save andmanage money, but she no-ticed a lot of younger kidsdon’t always have money tomanage.

So, she designed a systemat DePaolo where studentscould deposit any amount ofmoney and withdraw it orkeep it locked up as theyplease, as long as they are astudent at the school. Stu-dents are given checkbooks,and other students will be in-volved in the counting andsorting of money, whichcould even be kept over thesummer.

Southington zoning change allows separate restaurants at hotelsBy Andrew Ragali


Evolving trends in hospi-tality motivated developersin town to pursue zoningchanges that will allow ho-tels and restaurants to coex-ist on the same property inan industrial zone.

Before Jan.15, when thePlanning and Zoning Com-mission unanimously ap-

proved the zoning regula-tion change to allow a sepa-rate restaurant on a hotel’sproperty, multiple buildingsweren’t allowed on a singlesite. If a hotel wanted arestaurant in an industrialzone, it would have to bebuilt inside.

“Nationwide, the busi-ness needs of hotels havechanged,” said Andy Denor-fia, of AA Denorfia Build-

ing & Development LLC inSouthington. “Hotels wantto be on site with a detachedrestaurant.”

Stipulations to theamended regulation limitthe restaurant’s size to 3,000square feet. The hotel alsomust be within 1,500 feet ofa highway and have a mini-mum of 200 feet of frontage.

Before the regulationchange, a developer wouldhave to acquire a specialpermit from the town tobuild two principal build-ings on one lot in an indus-trial zone.

Mark Lovley, of LovleyDevelopment Inc. inSouthington, said “No ho-

tels like having a restaurantattached” anymore.

“It just ends up usually be-ing vacant,” he said.

Tony Valenti, of the R.Calabrese Agency in Water-bury, said when people stayat a hotel nowadays, theytend to venture out for din-ner instead of eating at thehotel restaurant. Having arestaurant on the same prop-erty as a hotel is a “nice com-plementary use,” Valentisaid.

During the Tuesday meet-ing, there was praise for thezoning change from resi-dents and commission mem-bers.

“Two things come to

mind,” said Southington res-ident Art Cyr. “One is eco-nomic development in thetown of Southington. Thiswould enhance the abilityfor economic development,and good development intown.”

Cyr said the change willhelp businesses coming intotown “do everything in oneapplication instead of jump-ing through hurdles.”

“This is a step forward foreconomic development in anindustrial zone,” commis-sion member James Sinclairsaid.

Lovley said a normal

tumes with fake red nosesthat lit up. After Saturday’sjump, it took Brick a while toget his nose working again.

“It was shocking. I felt likeI was half hitting ice,” saidone of his teammates.

Barbara Parlee, of Bristol,was a first-timer who saidshe didn’t mind belonging tothe female minority partici-pating in the chilly plunge.

“I would do it again,” shesaid. “Jerry tried to shamethe guys into signing up bysaying, ‘Hey, Barbara is do-ing it.’ It’s for a good cause.”

Saturday’s jump was theeighth annual Polar Plungesponsored by the Southing-ton YMCA to raise money forits summer camp program.Community teams had mem-bers from Southington poli-tics, the Board of Education,the Southington Fire Depart-ment, the Calvanese Founda-tion, the SouthingtonYMCA, the Cheshire YMCAand more.

“We have a wonderfultime,” said Fire ChiefHarold “Buddy” Clark. “Thewater was warm and it’s a

great family event.”Saturday’s temperatures

in the 40s made this year’sevent almost tropical, saidsome of the repeat jumpers.But Matt O’Connor wasn’ttaking chances and put snowon his skin to prepare.

“I have to acclimate myselfso it’s not so shocking,” O’-Connor said.

Teams of four people eachwalked out onto the dock andstood before the icy water.There was no backing down,and organizers said therehave been no casualties, butemergency vehicles were onstandby close to shore.

Some teams, such as theLake Compounce employees,dressed up for the jump; oth-ers wore shorts, and oneCamp Sloper team memberwas dressed as Gumby. Afterjumping, most warmed up bya fire and changed in thenearby pavilion.

By the time the jump wasover, emcee and SouthingtonYMCA Executive DirectorJohn Myers announced theevent had raised $24,000.

“Nice job, everybody,” My-ers said to the crowd. “We gota lot of crazy jumpers here,and it’s a really nice day toplunge.”

This year’s goal was to beatthe $18,000 raised last year,said camp Director MarkPooler

“We had more teams, gen-erous pledges and bravejumpers,” Pooler said.

Most of the money will goto support camp scholar-ships, except money raisedby the Cheshire YMCA,which will go to its LiveStrong program.

The numbers of familiesin need of help sending theirchildren to camp has in-creased year over year, Pool-er said.

“We planned to give $45,000to send over 1,000 kids tocamp in summer,” Poolersaid.

Full-day kindergarten offers gift of time By Jim Williamson

This week, the Southing-ton Board ofEducationagain took onthe proposalto implementfull-daykindergartenin our publicschools. As aparent(though my children arenow grown!) and Southing-ton taxpayer for nearly 10years, I can relate to theconcerns this importantmeasure raises.

As a professional whosecharge, among others, is todo all I can to help theSouthington community bethe best it can be, I can tellyou that my support – and

that of the CommunityFoundation of Greater

New Britain – of this pro-posal is unequivocal. This isnot the idle musing of a non-profit executive for whomthis proposal represents thelatest, trendy “cause,” butthe practical, consideredopinion of a parent and tax-payer personally invested inour community’s well-being.

No major change in pub-lic education involving tax-payer dollars is without con-troversy. Those concernedabout the costs of full-daykindergarten, its purportedbenefits and its impact onthe rest of the school systemraise, by and large, legiti-mate issues.

But from my vantagepoint, this is about investingin our future. And full-day

kindergarten for Southing-ton children is an invest-ment worth making.

Few dispute the over-whelming evidence thathigh-quality early childhoodeducation pays untold divi-dends in shaping not onlythe future of Americanyouth, but the future ofAmerica, itself. While for-mal research documentingthe long-term academic ef-fectiveness of full-daykindergarten is admittedlyincomplete, there is a host ofevidence indicating suchprogramming is a strategi-cally sound investment onmultiple levels.

Adding the “gift of time”at this tender age positivelyimpacts everything from lit-eracy to language develop-ment, enrichment to peer in-

all-day kindergarten is agood idea?

teraction, social/emotionaldevelopment to physical edu-cation – and so much more.

It does not take much of aleap of faith to connect thedots and envision aSouthington 20 years fromnow populated by youngadults whose learning defi-ciencies were identified andcorrected at an early age;whose development of emo-tional and social skills got aboost in kindergarten; andwhose achievement in aca-demics – and life – got thechance to be all they could bethanks to a kindergartenteacher who had more timeto make a difference.

Since 2005, the Communi-ty Foundation has investednearly $1 million through itsFirst Years First initiative tohelp prepare the children ofSouthington, Plainville,Berlin and New Britain forsuccess in school and in lifeby enhancing their earlychildhood development expe-

rience. Our partnership withSouthington Public Schoolsto create the Early Child-hood Collaborative ofSouthington and its highlysuccessful Family ResourceCenter are byproducts ofour investment. Full-daykindergarten in each of ourcommunities remains a goal,and we are tantalizinglyclose to realizing such won-derful programming inSouthington.

Take a look around.Plainville is implementingfull-day kindergarten. Berlinis likely to. More than 70school districts throughoutConnecticut are already onboard. The ship is leavingthe dock and those aboard incommunities across Ameri-ca are doing the prudentthing to invest in their fu-tures and their quality oflife.

And isn’t “quality of life”for ourselves, our familiesand most importantly, ourchildren, why we live inSouthington in the firstplace?

Jim Williamson is aSouthington resident andpresident of the CommunityFoundation of Greater NewBritain, which servesSouthington, Plainville,Berlin and New Britain.

Lovley said the hotel wasapproved in November, andwill be completed by October.Three floors of framing havealready been erected.

Valenti, Lovley and Denor-fia have been working closelywith the town to makeSouthington more businessfriendly. Acting Town Plan-ner Robert Librandi said thegoal is to prepare for “furtherdevelopment” in the WestStreet area.

Hall/Southington knocks off D-III kingpin

Blue Knight Notes

Kelly’s 29 points not enough; Big 3 come through in win

Photo by Justin Weekes

Hall/Southington’s Justin Rose pokes at the puck infront of Newington/Berlin/Manchester goalkeeperDrew O’Leary. Hall/Southington prevailed, 2-1.

By Michael GuerreraSpecial to The Citizen

Tension was palpable forthe packed crowd at Veter-ans Memorial Ice Rink Sat-urday, taking in a gamebilled as a big one betweenDivision III’s top two teams.

With sizzling playthroughout between one-loss Hall/Southington andone-loss Newington/Berlin/Manchester, the play on theice lived up to the billing.

The Warrior Knights (8-1)battled from behind early tobeat defending D-III champsN/B/M (7-2), 2-1, likely mov-ing to the top of the D-IIIstate rankings and makingone thing known: “I think allthe teams are going to takeus seriously from here onout,” said senior Southing-ton defender, co-captain WillThompson, “so they betterbe ready.”

Hall/Southington quicklyput itself in an early holewith penalties. It killed off

their first one, but a secondpenalty with 6:13 in the firstled to the game’s openinggoal from Tyler Aldieri.

“We spent nearly half the(first) period short-handedand you can’t keep surviv-ing that,” said Warrior

Knights coach Brian Can-non.

But the deficit was short-lived. With a bum rush on of-fense as the seconds tickedaway in the first, H/S workedthe puck around the net,from Owen Kantor and Joe

Gambardella eventually tojunior defender Brian Ma-hon near the blue line, whoslapped it in past a shieldedgoalie, knotting the scorewith 30 seconds to play. Atthe first intermission, it was1-1.

“For us it was huge,” Can-non said of the equalizer. “Idon’t know whether it deflat-ed them much. If we wentinto the locker room downone on a power play goal,(we) would have come outmore deflated in the secondperiod.”

Southington senior for-ward Justin Rose concurred.“It gave us a lot of confi-dence.”

Things were very busi-nesslike in the second peri-od, with neither team grab-bing momentum - though itlooked as if H/S scored thego-ahead goal at one point, asthe puck snuck under thegoalie and was tapped in, butit was waved off, the refs be-lieving the play was dead be-

fore seeing it find daylight.“I thought that should

have counted,” Cannon said.“The referees made the callthey made.”

In the final frame of regu-lation, H/S took control, cap-turing momentum, attackingthe zone and getting whatturned out to be the game-winner in a scrum in front ofthe net from Jesse Patterson.

“Both teams kind of lulleddown in the second period,just kind of going throughthe motions, setting up thethird period and somebodyhad to do something andthank God it was us,” said anexuberant Cannon.

Newington head coachDave Harackiewicz tippedhis hat, looking toward at theleast, one, at the most, threemore matchups with theWarrior Knights before sea-son’s end.

“It was a really good hock-

Kelsey Bresnan was thetop dog of the UConnwomen’s team, finishing 23rdamong the 63 racers from 10colleges in the GS. DanielleScanlon finished 26th fol-lowed by Catherine Elliott in30th.

On the men’s course, IanWolf captured 16th, afterjamming a gate on his after-noon run. Dillon O’Brien
