Members of the Plainville Senior Center Knitting and Crochet Group were re-cently honored at a lun-cheon reception at the Senior Center for their gen-erous donation of hand-made scarves to those in need.

The scarves are made specifically for sexual as-sault victims when they go to the hospital for emer-gency treatment.

“It’s just amazing. The volunteers do such beau-tiful work,” said Marianne

Landry, an 11-year volun-teer with the Sexual Assault Crisis Service (SACS) of the YWCA of New Britain, which honored the group.

SACS offers free and con-fidential services to vic-tims of sexual assault and their loved ones. Threads of Compassion of New Britain and State Rep. Betty Boukus, were also a part of the recognition celebration.

Landry, who organized the event, says she has seen first-hand how the hand-made items help victims be-gin to heal.

“You can see a tear in their eye, knowing someone

cared enough about them to knit this for them,” Landry said.

Senior Center member Evelyn Morin, who has more than 30 years of knitting and crocheting experience, has been teaching the program for the last 15 years.

“The ladies work really diligently at this because it’s so important to them. They like the camaraderie and en-joy getting to be with their friends,” Morin said.

Morin says the group, which consists of 25 to 30 women, has knitted for

The culmination of the volunteers’ hard work isn’t seen until graduation night, but rest assured folks are working throughout the school year to make Project Graduation an unforgetta-ble night for Plainville High School graduates.

Project Graduation is an all-night party for gradu-ates meant to provide a safe environment and prevent teens from engaging in risky behaviors.

Parties usually hold a theme of some kind, with

wall-to-wall decorations and a slew of games and activities for the grads.

This year, Dawn Angelillo is the chairperson for the event. Among this year’s graduates will be her daughter.

Previously, Angel i l lo co-chaired the decorating sub-committee with Kris Dargenio.

“It’s a lot of work, it’s a lot of coordinating,” Angelillo said. “But it’s fun and I enjoy it and it’s for the kids.”

Angelillo has been with the committee for about five years.

She said the party is im-portant, for a couple reasons.

Graduation party planning already underwayBy Julie Sopchak The Plainville Citizen

“First and foremost to keep them safe,” Angelillo said. “We want them to have a good time and have a mem-orable night for many years to come.”

Dargenio’s youngest gradu-ated in 2009.

“I just decided to stay be-cause I loved it so much,” she said.

In addit ion to that , Dargenio said the goal of the party has a personal under-tone for her. Since her gradu-ating class didn’t have Project Graduation, members of her class didn’t get the opportu-nity for a safe environment.

As a result, two of her class-mates got into a car accident because of drinking and driv-ing. One is blind to this day, she said.

“It really hits with me,” Dargenio said. “And it’s im-portant they have an outlet to party and have fun with their friends that whole night, and stay safe.”

With two meetings under its belt so far, Angelillo said the committee usually fo-cuses on fundraising ideas to keep the party afloat. A theme is also selected, but kept secret until graduates walk through the doors of the Wheeler Regional YMCA on

From time to time, The Citizen will take a look at other towns named Plainville across the United States.

This week: Plainville, Kansas:

Stretching westward, other Plainvilles are scat-tered across the country, both small and large. One such Plainville, tucked into Rooks County, Kansas, is home to a little below 2,000 people.

Originally named Paradise Flats, this Plainville was first settled in 1877 by Hiram Keas, and later established as the city of Plainville, in 1888.

Although its initial title referred to its connection to Paradise Creek and its flat elevation, the place is still close to paradise for its residents.

Plainville’s Mayor, Kelli Hansen, says “Plainville, Kansas: nothing plain about it.”

Hansen raves about her city. “Growing up in Plainville provided me with a cherished childhood and opportunities to spread my wings and still have roots. After college, my husband and I decided Plainville was where we were going

to raise our family, and are happy to be ‘back home’ for more than a decade. Best de-cision we ever made. We en-joy all the pleasures of small town life; our kids walking to our office after work to see us on their way home from school, neighbors who are more like family, doors always open -- and unlocked in most cases.

“Plainville, Kansas offers exceptional schools for our children, with parks and a new pool, a vibrant down-town with long-standing family-owned local busi-nesses, a robust economy offering careers in many tra-ditional mid-western fields - - oil, cattle, banking, and also an environment enticing to many entrepreneurs who have chosen to grow their businesses here, and a brand new state-of-the-art hospital with skilled and caring doc-tors at our disposal.”

While tiny in population, the city is nonetheless active and full of life.

Plainville, Kansas shows its character with funky or-ganizations like the Saddle Club, which is more than just a club for people who love horses.

Since its founding in 1949, the Saddle Club has ex-panded to include every-

Plainville police arrested resident Nicholas Olsen Monday morning, Sept. 30, on charges of child pornography.

Olsen, 22, is a 2009 gradu-ate of Plainville High School.

Plainville Police Det. Sgt. Nicholas Mullins said an in-vestigation began in April after a complaint was made that nude images of several young-looking females, in-cluding numerous residents of Plainville, appeared on a website which allows users to anonymously exchange lewd photos.

“A couple young females came forward and informed us about the website and we looked into it from there,” Mullins said.

Throughout the investiga-tion, Mullins said techniques were used to eventually track an IP address to Olsen’s home, where images were kept on his computer.

“It was difficult for us be-cause the website was located overseas and they didn’t

keep track of who posted t h e p h o -tographs,” Mullins said. “ S o y o u could post the photo-graphs anon-ymously.”

Mullins said 20 girls were positively identified as cur-rent or former Plainville res-idents. There were others he said that could not be defin-itively identified. Sixteen of the girls were between the ages of 12 to 15 at the time the photographs were taken. Mullins said Olsen obtained the photographs through third parties, either through his peers or from the girls themselves.

“Some of the girls had no idea [Olsen] had the pho-tographs,” Mullins said. “Others did, but obviously he

wasn’t supposed to post them on this website – [the girls] didn’t give anybody permis-sion to do that.”

Mullins added the girls had either consented to the pho-tographs being taken, or had taken them themselves, but did not have any knowledge they would be posted on the website.

“He thrived on the power and control of having these pictures and would post them on the website,” Mullins said.

Some of the girls, he said, are now in their 20s and some of the photographs were taken almost 10 years ago.

“Over the years they got into the wrong hands one way or another,” Mullins said.

Olsen is charged with pos-session of child pornography, eight counts of promoting a minor in obscene perfor-mance, second-degree sex-ual assault, and risk of injury to a minor. He was released on bond.

The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals announced that Debora M. Bresch, Esq., se-nior state director of ASPCA Government Relations for the Mid-Atlantic region, has been invited to join a biparti-san task force to examine the sale of cats and dogs sold in Connecticut pet shops. This task force was established as a result of Amendment #8543 to H.B. 5027, which passed in the final days of Connecticut’s legislative ses-sion and was quickly signed

by Gov. Dannel Malloy.Co-chair of the task force,

Rep. Brenda Kupchick (R-Fairfield), sponsored this amendment, which called for the creation of a task force to include 11 experts to ex-amine the inhumane treat-ment of dogs and cats in breeding facilities that sell to Connecticut pet shops.

In 2014, there will be a hearing to decide whether pet shops should be required to sell only dogs and cats hu-manely-sourced from shel-ters and rescue organizations.

“I want to thank my col-leagues in the House for their support on this critical

amendment,” Kupchick said. “The safety and well-being of the animals sold in pet shops should be a top priority, and with the creation of this task force, we are one step closer to ensuring that dogs and cats sold in Connecticut pet shops come from humane sources.”

“I am honored to have been asked to participate on this task force to look at the systematic inhumane sourcing of dogs and cats by Connecticut pet shops,” Bresch said. “The task force is an ideal forum to publicly highlight the cruel condi-tions in the breeding facil-

ities that supply the state’s pet shops, and the ASPCA looks forward to working with Connecticut leaders to make task force discussions the basis of legislative action in the 2014 session.”

Kupchick also proposed an amendment to H.B. 5027 that garnered wide biparti-san support and would have required that as of Jan. 1, 2016, only dogs and cats ob-tained from public shelters or incorporated rescues be sold in the state’s pet shops. However, the bill was instead amended to create the task force, which must submit its report by Jan. 1, 2014.

Amy Harrell, president of Connecticut Votes for Animals has also been ap-pointed to the task force, and noted the strong popu-lar support for the enacted measure.

“We witnessed an enor-mous outpouring of support from Connecticut residents during the session, and their message was clear: Connecticut does not wish to be a participant in the puppy mill trade any longer. With an abundance of pets avail-able from humane sources, there is simply no need for pet shops to obtain animals from puppy mills.”

Task force to review sale of animals in pet shopsPress Release

The Wheeler Regional Family YMCA will host Paralympics Day Sunday, Oct. 6, with activities to show-case its innovative Adaptive Sports and Fitness Program, and to give members of the

Wheeler YMCA to host Paralympics DayPress Release community the opportunity

to connect with Y partners who specialize in working with people with disabilities.

The Adaptive Sports and Fitness Program offers peo-ple with disabilities, includ-ing those who have suffered traumatic injury or an ill-ness compromising their physical ability, the oppor-tunity to improve all aspects of their physical and mental condition.

Paralympics Day will take place at the Wheeler Regional Family YMCA, 149

The VA CT Health Care Systems of the Department of Veterans Affairs, Gaylord H o s p i t a l , N o r t h e a s t Passage, Achilles, American

Federation of the Blind, Independence Unlimited, and other local organiza-tions that work with persons with disabilities will be at the event.

“The athletes participating in the Y’s Adaptive Sports Program are an inspiration to all. Together with our com-munity partners, we are help-ing para-athletes lead healthy lifestyles, with exercise and proper nutrition, under the supervision of trained staff,” said James Morton, presi-dent and CEO of the YMCA of Greater Hartford.

Participants are also able to take advan-tage of the full facility ben-efits, as well as sporting activities including biking, running, swimming, triath-lons, volleyball and more.

Major support for the

Adaptive Fitness and Sports program was provided by The Hartford, which contrib-uted $50,000 to expand the number of athletes served and to provide funding for Y Teen Incentive Program offered at the Wilson-Gray YMCA Youth and Family Center volunteers to be transported to meetings and training sessions at the Wheeler YMCA.

“The Hartford believes in achievement and ability, and is proud to support the Y’s Adaptive Sports Program,” said Diane Cantello, vice president of Corporate Social Responsibility at The Hartford, which is a leading provider of disability insur-ance. “We believe this com-munity program will help expand opportunities for our neighbors and open minds to show success does not need to be restricted by physical limitations.”

Create a team of celebrity walkers, including friends and family members.

The event features a chili cook off contest. Participants will have the opportunity to judge the creations.

“We need their support,” Angelillo said. “We need them to get involved.”

Dargenio and Angelillo said it costs about $20,000 to throw the party. The YMCA is rented out for the night.

Last year, the theme was “Winter Wonderland,” and the entire facility was decked out in winter decorations.

“It was fantastic,” Angelillo said. “It went very well, ev-erybody had a great time and the kids just loved it.”

Meetings are held the first Wednesday of every month and will become more fre-quent as graduation nears. For more information, call Angelillo, (860) 637-6640.

with Gaylord Hospital, a rec-ognized expert in the field of rehabilitation, YMCA staff help patients begin the re-covery process to prevent further physical deteriora-tion. The Adaptive Sports Program provides expanded services beyond the hospital’s care. The athletes receive the physical training and per-sonal support necessary to compete in appropriate ath-letic competitions.

From Page 4

Participants in the Adaptive Sports Program are paired with a YMCA Triathlon Club volunteer coach to help ensure the para-athletes’ success.

In 2012, 13 Tri-Club mem-bers volunteered to work with the nine athletes.

In 2013, some 20 volunteers will serve as “training pals,” providing personal support and encouragement to the para-athletes. Over a pe-riod of nine months, volun-teer coaches will work with their athletes two to four days per week for two hours per session.

Honored

SACS the past two years and has completed more than 100 scarves.

“This group gives them a purpose, and some of them really need a purpose in life. It makes them feel im-portant and needed,” said Morin.

The knitting and crochet-ing group work on three or four big projects a year, including hats for pree-mies, sweaters for children in Africa, and shawls for those going through cancer treatments.

“We are thrilled they received this recogni-tion. They work very hard and this is a great honor for them,” said Ronda Guberman, assistant direc-tor of the Senior Center.

The members of SACS were also noted for their work with the victims, and along with the Senior Center group, received a special ci-tation from Boukus.

The knitting and crochet-ing group meets Thursday afternoons at the Senior Center. New members are welcome. Please contact the Senior Center for more information, (860) 747-5728.

T h e C o n n e c t i c u t Association of Public School Superintendents (CAPSS) and The Connect icut Association of Schools (CAS) are asking students across Connecticut in grades 6-12 to share their ideas for improv-ing education.

Whether it’s integrating more technology into learn-ing or enhancing hands-on career development opportu-nities, CAPSS and CAS want the student’s perspective on what it will take to help them thrive in the classroom.

“Administrators, educators and legislators have count-less ideas on how to improve learning for all students,” Joseph J. Cirasuolo, Ed.D., Executive Director, CAPSS, said. “What’s often missing is the perspective of the student who spends five days a week, nearly 10 months out of the year, in the classroom. Our goal is to shift that dynamic and incorporate the learner’s perspective into our efforts to transform education in Connecticut.”

In January 2013, CAPSS and CAS kicked-off their in-augural Student Voices con-test, which was inspired by

Student input requested in statewide contestPress release

the CT NextEd Report, a set of practical recommenda-tions for how to re-imagine Connecticut’s educational system.

More than 50 videos were submitted by middle and high school students across the state.

In their videos, students shared creative and practical ideas for improving their in-school experiences, includ-ing opportunities to increase project-based learning, ways to leverage technology to make schools more ‘green’, and strategies for increasing student engagement.

This year, CAPSS and CAS have added an essay division to the contest, offering stu-dents an opportunity to pres-ent a thoughtful case for not only what they want to im-prove, but how they would improve it, and the projected benefits for students.

The Student Voices contest

is open to all Connecticut stu-dents in grades 6-12. Students may enter in the Middle School Video Division, High School Video Division or the Middle and High School Essay Division.

Students are encouraged to work independently or in a small group (no more than three students) to create a 1-4 minute video submission that highlights their recom-mendations for transforming education in Connecticut. Essay entries may be sub-mitted by individual students only. First, second and third place prizes will be awarded in each division.

CAPSS and CAS are ac-cepting video and essay sub-missions for Student Voices until Dec. 13.

A panel of judges will re-view video and essay entries in January 2014 and the final-

Elections

Pugliese said some members of the council and BOE chose to retire or pursue other in-terests, but the current lead-ership has left the town in a good place.

“We’ve done a great job over the past two years,” Pugliese said.

D e m o c r a t i c To w n Committee Chairwoman Rosemary Morante said her party’s campaign has been very active.

“I think our basic mes-sage is it’s all about mov-ing forward,” Morante said. “Looking at what the future of what Plainville is going to be – we want the town to continue to be a place where

From Page 1

families will continue to want to live and to raise families.”

Pugliese said some of the accomplishments made by Republicans over the past two years include combin-ing the finance boards of the BOE and municipal side and also getting the BOE more in-volved with the town.

“Previous administra-tion thought they were not part of the town as much as they were a state-run entity,” Pugliese said.

Morante said the town needs a sound economic base and good schools and a smart spending approach to the budget and taxes.

“Balancing needs with rea-sonable tax rates,” Morante said.

Elections will be held Tuesday, Nov. 5.

FaithIt has been estimated

that as many as 4,200 reli-gions exist in the world.

From time to time, The Citizen will take a look at the beliefs of some less-er-known faiths. This week:

ShintoShinto

(or kami n o m i -chi, “way o f t h e kami,” or gods) is a prehistoric religious tra-dition indigenous to Japan, which has been influenced by Buddhism and Chinese religions and provides a worldview that has become central to Japanese culture and national identity.

Shinto recognizes no all-powerful deity and is a diverse set of traditional rituals and ceremonies, rather than a system of dogmatic beliefs or ethics.

The kami are the pow-ers of nature primarily as-sociated with such things as animals, trees, moun-tains, springs, boulders, the sun, and so forth. They also sometimes include the earliest ancestors of the Japanese, as well as the souls of the dead, and are revered in matsuri, or cel-

ebrations that seek to en-sure continued order in the cosmos.

Offerings such as fish, rice and vegetables are presented to the kami and later eaten. Music, dancing, and praise are also offered, and Shinto priests bless all with the branch of the sa-cred sakaki tree dipped in holy water.

Another, shamanistic type of Shinto ritual ex-ists in rural areas, in which miko (women shamans) speak for the kami by fall-ing into a trance.

Shinto shrines can be found in groves of trees all over Japan. All the shrines have sacred gates (torii) and often contain water for symbolic purification of hands and mouth; larger shrines have main halls, buildings for offerings, and oratories. Inside the main hall resides the goshintai (god-body), which is some-times represented by a mir-ror, but more often nothing at all.

The classic Shinto shrine is the world-renowned Ise Shrine, the primary cult site for Amaterasu, argu-ably the most important kami.

Roast pork dinner Other

thing saddle-related, from horse shows to trail rides to rodeos and festivals, educa-tional horsemanship clinics, even a Miss Rodeo pageant for young women.

One of their biggest events is the annual Paradise Creek Festival Rodeo, featur-ing a carnival with vendors, bull riding, a barbeque, and children’s rodeo-themed activities, as well as the pri-mary rodeo competition.

Athletics have proven strong at the high school level for Plainville, Kansas students.

In 1980 and 1985, the Plainville High School foot-ball team won the Kansas state championship. In 1988 and 1992, the high school won the 3-2-1A state wres-tling championship. More recently, in 2012 and 2013, the boys track team won the 2A state championship.

Plainville has been home to a couple notable people. For instance, current U.S. Sen. for Kansas, former U.S. Rep., Jerry Moran grew up in Plainville. Also, actor Brent Collins, known as Mr. Big in the television show called “As The World Turns” and Wallingford on the show “Another World,” was born in Plainville.

Although this little Plainville may seem tiny compared to our standards, its residents happily call it home.

As Hansen states, “I’m proud to serve as Mayor of my hometown!”

Nichole Morgillo was pray-ing just to get the car home in one piece.

That’s the kind of rac-ing year it had been at the Waterford Speedbowl for the SK Modified driver out of Wallingford.

Such a good car, but such bad luck.

Bad blood, too, because let’s face it, not all the boys who run the bullring that is the Bowl care much for a girl in their midst. They’ve been known to run her hard down the stretch. All too often Morgillo’s Car 56 went home a crumpled mess.

But one regular in the Speedbowl’s Modified cir-cuit, Plainville native Shawn Thibeault, has long been sweet on the division’s lone female driver.

Seven years, in fact, and on Saturday night, Sept. 21, he set a wheel in motion that turned what had been a night-mare season for Morgillo into not merely a dream, but a fairy tale.

What storyteller would dare concoct this: A man quiet by nature

gets down on bended knee before a full house at a race track and, microphone in hand, proposes marriage. Girl stunned, shocked,

overwhelmed, accepts, then climbs into her car and wins the race that follows, hold-ing off the state’s winningest driver ever for the last 10 laps.

Once upon a time, at a race track by the sea

By Bryant CarpenterSpecial to The Citizen

On bended knee, Shawn Thibeault makes his marriage proposal to Nichole Morgillo Sept. 21 prior to a SK Modified race at the Waterford Speedbowl.

Letters to the Editor

Voter bewareTo the editor:In this small town of Plainville, I feel it

is so important, as a community, to realize that times are changing. Whether good or bad, they are changing.

My opinion is to look forward and change for the good. We can do that if we have a clear focus on what we want to achieve.

Concerned citizens have an understand-ing about hen-keeping, but the zoning board turns a deaf ear, and it’s so frustrat-ing and sad, because we are taxpayers. The anointed individuals seemed they could care less about what we had to say.

My thoughts are they are scared to learn something new.

Open minds = open learning = open op-portunities for all.

What’s wrong with that?Citizens of Plainville, please be aware of

who you are voting for in the next election. If we can’t have a voice in the town we live in, we have nothing.

Diana DoughtyPlainville

Citizens being silencedTo the editor:The town council has done a good job

these past two years, such as working with the BOE and controlling taxes. But I am starting to believe it has come with a price. Town residents are being pacified, ignored and silenced.

I base this on my attendance at town council meetings, which is the only avenue you can voice your opinions and question our town council as a whole.

The meeting starts with agenda item 1, citizens forum. I call it pacification. It is not part of the official meeting, it is not tele-vised, and you have a time limit for your presentation.

Residents are ignored during the agenda called the town manager’s report. At this point it is an official meeting and it is televised.

The town manager reports on issues regarding the town. There are issues pre-sented that are significant, but unless they are included as part of the new/old busi-ness agenda there is no way for residents to inquire about, or question, the issue.

Most importantly, residents are being si-lenced, which takes me to the oral petitions portion of the meeting.

Again, this portion of the meeting is tele-vised, there is a time constraint, and res-idents can address the council, but must speak only to what is on the old/new busi-ness list of issues prepared by the council.

Is there a pattern forming here?The council should eliminate the cit-

izens forum portion of the meeting and open the oral petitions portion so that res-idents can address their elected officials. Not a new concept. That is how neighbor-ing communities conduct their town coun-cil meetings.

Wanted: Memories

MASHANTUCKET (AP) — Gov. Dannel P. Malloy reminded members of Connecticut’s largest labor organization Wednesday, Sept. 25, that he supports many of their issues, such as protecting collective bar-gaining rights, even though the Democrat has periodi-cally been at odds with the state employee unions.

While the one-term gov-ernor has yet to announce whether he plans to run for re-election next year, he sounded a lot like a candidate at the annual Connecticut AFL-CIO convention as he spoke about his commit-ment to a higher minimum wage, the passage of paid sick leave legislation and his support for the rights of day care workers and personal care attendants to unionize.

His address at Foxwoods Resort Casino came a little more than two years after Malloy had threatened to lay off thousands of unionized state workers if they didn’t

approve a labor concessions deal needed to balance the state budget. The process strained relations between Malloy and the unionized workers who helped to get him narrowly elected in 2010.

Malloy appeared to ac-knowledge that strain last Wednesday.

“I grew up in a house where I was the youngest of eight kids. That gives rise to some sharp elbows, I know. And sometimes I don’t always use them appropriately,” Malloy said. “But more often than not, I’ve used them on your behalf.”

Salvatore Luciano, exec-utive director of AFSCME Council 4, said some rank-and-file members are still smarting from the conten-tious 2011 battle and aren’t big fans of the governor.

Should Malloy run for re-election, Luciano said he plans to bring in AFSCME members from elsewhere to explain what’s happen-ing in other states to change collective bargaining rules. Luciano said his out-of-

Malloy voices support for Conn.

Malloy

state colleagues are often surprised to hear that some Connecticut union members don’t like Malloy, telling him, “Are you kidding me? You may not like this guy, but from Wisconsin, we’d give our right arm for him.”

Luciano said the level of Malloy’s vulnerability among union workers in the 2014 election will likely depend on whoever the Republicans pick as their candidate. While he doesn’t expect the 2010 Republican nom-inee, Greenwich business-man Tom Foley, to garner much support, he acknowl-edged that if Senate Minority Leader John McKinney of

From Page 10

Fairfield were the candidate, “It wouldn’t be as easy, that’s for sure.”

McKinney has already an-nounced his candidacy. Foley has formed an exploratory committee to determine whether he will run. Other possible GOP candidates in-clude Danbury Mayor Mark Boughton, Wilton state Sen. Toni and others.

Connecticut AFL-CIO President John Olsen, whom Malloy credited last Wednesday with helping win the election, said labor leaders will need to edu-cate members about Malloy and his accomplishments. Despite the fight over labor concessions, he said mem-bers need to be reminded that “we have pensions, we have health care, people

didn’t get laid off; he turned around and funded govern-ment, not found ways to cut.”

“Clearly, we need to point out all those good things he’s done,” said Olsen, who retired from the labor um-brella group Friday, Sept. 27, after 25 years at the helm.

Malloy, who said he ex-pects to announce his plans for the election next year, said he would hope labor and other groups would help him, despite any lingering bad feelings.

“This is a tough business we’re all in, labor and in pol-itics. You don’t grow up the youngest of eight kids with-out learning how to fight,” he said. “On the other hand, you don’t grow up in a family of eight kids without learning how to come back together.”

Open enrollment be-gan Tuesday, Oct. 1 , for Connecticut’s health in-surance exchange, known as Access Health CT. It runs through March 31. The following are some key facts about the new program:

— Individuals and small businesses interested in buying health insurance through the exchange can use the exchange’s website at www.access-healthct.com. The site includes an online calcu-lator that helps people de-termine whether they’re eligible for financial assis-tance or Medicaid. They can also apply for cover-age by calling the health exchange at 855-805-4325.

— Navigators, commu-nity-based organizations assigned to six regions of the state, and about 300 assisters, trained and cer-tif ied individuals from nonprof its, small busi-nesses, faith-based and other community organi-zations, will be available during open enrollment to help educate and enroll residents for health care coverage. Trained brokers can also sign up individu-

als and small businesses.— Access Health CT

plans to open a store-front in New Britain by mid-October. Another is planned for New Haven, and more are expected to open. Those locations will be stocked with com-puters and staffed with trained experts to help people enroll. Mobile en-rollment events are also being planned. Upcoming events will be listed on the Access Health CT website.

— Access Health CT officials have a target of enrolling about 100,000 people in health insur-ance plans, including the state’s expanded Medicaid program, during this first enrollment round.

— Connecticut ’s ex-change is offering three levels of pla ns f rom three companies for in-d iv idu a l s a nd sm a l l business. Individual cov-erage is being offered by ConnectiCare Benef its, Anthem Health Plans Inc. and the new nonprof it HealthyCT. Small group plans are being offered by United Healthcare Insurance Co., Anthem Health Plans Inc. and HealthyCT.

— With the newly ex-

panded eligibility, an in-dividual with income up to $15,856 can qualify for Medicaid coverage, while a family of four with in-come up to $32,499 can qualify. Meanwhile, an individual with income from $15,857 to $45,960 can qualify for a federal insurance subsidy, while a family of four with income from $32,500 to $94,200 can qualify. Actual eli-gibility will depend on actual income and house-hold size.

— For the least expen-sive individual plan, the monthly base rates for premiums approved by Connecticut’s Department of Insurance range from $215. 17 to $245.45. For small businesses with fewer than 50 employers, the monthly base rates for premiums for the least ex-pensive plans range from $271.91 to $298.05. Those rates, however, will differ based on individual cir-cumstances and any eligi-bility for subsidies.

— Recently released census data estimate that 284,000 of the state’s nearly 3.6 million resi-dents were uninsured as of 2012. Other estimates put the figure at 344,000 uninsured.

H A RT FOR D (A P) — Allowing more video slot machines in Connecticut could offset a decline in revenue from the state’s two tribal-owned casinos and keep other states from siphoning away gambling dollars, state lawmakers said Thursday, Sept. 26, at the first meeting of a task force on video gambling.

While Mohegan Sun and Foxwoods Resort Casino once dominated the region’s gambling market, they have struggled to recover from the Great Recession as more options open for gamblers in Rhode Island, New York and Massachusetts.

The lawmakers on the task force, which is gath-ering information for a po-tential legislative proposal, said bringing video gam-bling to halls that offer bet-ting on simulcast races in Bridgeport, New Haven and Windsor Locks could help keep local gamblers from crossing state lines.

“If we’re losing Fairfield County dollars because t hey ’re goi n g f u r t her south , it ’s a problem,” said Sen. Andres Ayala, of Bridgeport, who held up a local advertisement for the Empire City casino in Yonkers, N.Y.

Al lowing more v ideo gambling would require ch a nges to s tate l aw, which currently forbids it, and the compacts with Connecticut ’s two trib-al-owned casinos, the only places where it is allowed in the state. The Mohegan Tribe, which owns Mohegan Sun, has said that it gener-

ally is not opposed to such an expansion but that it would not support video gambling in Windsor Locks because it is so close to the line with Massachusetts, where the Mohegans are vy-ing to build a casino in the western part of the state.

The tribal compacts call for the casinos to give 25 percent of their slot revenue to the state of Connecticut. Since 2007, the amount pro-vided annually by the tribes has fallen from $430 million to $296 million.

Clyde Barrow, the direc-tor of the Center for Policy Analysis at the University o f M a s s a c h u s e t t s a t Dartmouth, told the task force that the competition in other states has held back Mohegan Sun and Foxwoods even as casinos elsewhere have begun to see business improving.

In a state that is also pre-paring to roll out keno, some are raising concerns about over-saturation of gambling. Mary Drexler, executive director of the Connecticut Council on Problem Gambling, said it is worried about the po-tential to expose minors to gambling.

T he t h ree ga mbl i n g halls under consideration for video slots are the Shoreline Star Greyhound Park in Bridgeport, the New Haven Teletheater and the Bradley Teletheater in Windsor Locks. A 2008 study prepared for the Bridgeport hall concluded that adding video gambling to those sites could generate millions in revenue for the state and create 3,000 jobs due to new investment and expansion.

B E R L I N ( A P ) — Connecticut’s top elections official urged high school students Tuesday, Sept. 24, to register to vote and work in their communities to register others.

Secretary of the State Denise Merrill announced at Berlin High School the launch of a voter registration contest for high school stu-dents. Sept. 24 was National Voter Registration Day.

The high school team that signs up the most new voters will meet with Merrill and U.S. Sen. Richard Blumenthal and may ask any question they want.

“I’m a little uneasy at that,”

Merrill joked.Merrill says the project

gives students the opportu-nity to learn who is eligible to register to vote, the vot-ing process and past efforts to win the vote for black Americans, women and those between the ages of 18 and 21 who once could not vote.

Turnout among voters be-tween the ages of 18 and 30 is generally lower than among older voters, Merrill said.

A constitutional amend-ment in 1971 reduced the voting age to 18 from 21. It was the result, in part, to the anti-war movement spear-headed by college students protesting U.S. involvement

State official seeks to boost young votersin Vietnam.

“This generation does not have the draft to make them quite so concerned,” Merrill said.

Still, issues such as the high cost of college education, student loans and the job market should be sufficient to motivate young voters, Merrill said. She also blames a drop in civic education in the schools for less interest in voting and politics among the young.

Rules requiring voter reg-istration even if voters move across town and an anti-quated use of paper docu-ments and forms also are turnoffs to teens and those in their early 20s, Merrill said.

Seniors

1. Work with the hospi-tal to plan ahead

Before leaving the hospi-tal, make sure to ask your doctors and nurses if the hospital has special planners who can help you prepare to leave the hospital. Work with the hospital staff so they know the name of the doctor you see regularly. Ask if the hospital will be call-ing your regular provider to inform them when and why you were in the hospital. Ask them to give the results of any tests or other relevant

information so your regular provider can better under-stand how to continue your care.

2. Understand your ill-ness and ask questions about your health care

Make sure you understand the doctor’s written instruc-tions. Ask questions if you don’t understand something!

Sample discharge check-lists that can help you ask questions are available from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation or the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid

Services.3. Have a written dis-

charge planIt is best to create a de-

tailed, written plan, often called a discharge plan, that includes important informa-tion about your hospital stay and how to continue feeling better after you leave the hospital.

4. Understand your medications

Problems with medica-tions are often the cause for returning to the hospital, so it is important to take extra

Tips to avoid return trips to the hospital

time to talk to your doctor or other appropriate staff about your medications. It’s important to understand what medicines you should take after you leave the hos-pital and when you should take them. If you were tak-ing medications when you were admitted, you should work with the doctor, nurse, or pharmacist in the hospi-tal to understand which of these medications should be continued and which should

be stopped. Make sure that you have a written medica-tion list before you go home.

5. Don’t go it aloneHaving a family mem-

ber or loved one help you when leaving the hospital can make it easier for you to get better after leaving the hospital. By being in the hos-pital room when the doctor is explaining things or giv-ing instructions, your loved one can understand how to help you get better once you are home. Make sure your loved one has a copy of your discharge plan, including a medication list, and talk about it with them.

6. Follow through with follow-up care

Follow-up appointments with a primary care pro-vider or a specialist shortly after leaving the hospital reduce the chance that you will need to go back to the emergency room or hospital. Be sure that you have an ap-pointment for follow-up care before you leave.

7. Find out how good the care is in your community for patients leaving the hospital

In a recent report, we found that in 2010, nearly one in eight Medicare pa-tients who went home after surgery ended up back in the hospital a second time within a month. But in some areas of the country, more than one in six patients re-turned to the hospital within a month of surgery, while only one in 13 patients were readmitted in other areas.

Sports

FootballAfter playing such a

great all-around game in their season-opening win over Weaver, against Platt, Friday night, Sept. 27, the Blue Devils showed just how young and inexperienced of a team they still are, losing 33-0, to drop to 1-1.

The visiting Panthers used a strong running approach to open the game, and had a 6-0 lead a mere three minutes in.

Later in the first, it was the ground game again that helped Platt find paydirt, as it punched in yet another rush-ing touchdown.

After scoring three times on the ground in the first half, Platt decided to air things out after the break, and tallied a pair of pass-ing touchdowns to blow the game open.

Plainville came close to scoring early.

The locals had the ball in the red zone trailing just 6-0 in the first quarter, but couldn’t turn the good field position into points.

The Blue Devils look to get

back on track Saturday when they take on Northwest Catholic in West Hartford.

Boys soccerWhile an undefeated sea-

son would have been nice, it wasn’t in the cards for the Blue Devils.

The locals went 1-1 last week, losing their first game of the season, to Bristol Central.

“The results of that game were demoralizing, if you will,” coach Tim Brown said. “The score wasn’t indicative of the game, I feel.”

Fo r B r o w n ’ s t e a m , t h e p e rfo r m a n ce wa s uncharacteristic.

Marred by missed oppor-tunities and sluggish defense, the squad suffered a loss that Brown believes -- score-wise -- was one of his worst in his time at Plainville.

The Blue Devils suffered a setback, but were able to get back on track against Bulkeley, winning 4-0 to im-prove to 6-1.

Aside from the usual cast of characters who’ve con-tributed to the teams’ suc-cess – senior Shane Pugliese, junior Quentin Lux, and se-nior Jeffrey Keegan, to name a few – Brown noted that se-nior Andrew Rottier has had

an impressive year, although his contributions do not al-ways appear in the box score.

“I’ve got him playing out of position; he’s done a fantastic job,” said Brown. “He mixes it up in the middle. You al-ways see him going hard for tackles, and being tackled hard himself. He does all the dirty work so that our of-fense can go on the attack.”

VolleyballAlthough young, Plainville

has proven that it can com-pete and win.

This past week, the girls posted a record of 1-1, losing to a difficult Bristol Central team before walking away victorious over Bulkeley.

The locals were 3-4 at press time.

Although hovering around .500, the Lady Blue Devils may struggle to eclipse that mark, due to a lack of height at the net, a difficult sched-ule, and a depleted roster.

Girls soccerSome days, Plainville

seems to have everything in its favor, scoring on multiple occasions.

When the girls struggle to score a lot, however, the re-sults aren’t as appealing.

The Plainville Sports Hall of Fame Class of 2013 is: Brian Verrastro (PHS Class of 1991), Ted Christopher (Class of 1976), Darren Raymond (Class of 1989), Roger Roy (Class of 1959), and Rhonda Snyder Wisniewski (Class of 1997).

Also being recognized is the 1937 PHS football team. This year’s Distinguished Service Award goes to Robert O’Dea for his con-tributions to athletics and other activities in Plainville.

The Hall of Fame banquet will be held Saturday, Oct. 5, at Nuchies Restaurant in

Forestville. Tickets are avail-able at the dental offices of Dr. Rusty Camp and Dr. Michael Lantiere.

Leading up to the induc-tion dinner, The Citizen took a look at the accomplish-ments of the Hall of Fame Class of 2013.

This week:T h e o d o r e “ Te d ”

Christopher graduated from Plainville High School in 1976. He began his notewor-thy racing career shortly af-ter high school and went on to become a nationally-rec-ognized racing star success-fully competing in every form of motorsports, from

go-karts to the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series.

Among Ted’s numer-ous accomplishments was being named the 2001 National NASCAR Weekly Racing Series recipient and winning the NASCAR Whelan Modif ied Tour Championship in 2008. He was the first driver to win SK modified track championships at all three Connect icut NASCAR Whelan All-American se-ries tracks, with a total of 14 championships.

Ted has been named one of NASCAR Series All Time Top 50 drivers.

In 2008 Stafford Motor Speedway named a section of its grandstand after him in honor of his 100th victory there.

Ted has racked up 42 NASCAR modified tour-ing series wins during his career and more than 100 wins at the Stafford Motor Speedway, where he still competes.

Ted also continues to com-pete in the NASCAR Whelan Modified Touring Series and several other racing series.

Ted was a member of the PHS wrestling team for four years, serving as captain his senior year.

Notes

The Lady Blue Devils split with Bristol Central and Bulkeley last week, and at press time sat at 3-4.

While the girls lost a hard-fought game to Bristol Central – one of the more difficult teams in the CCC South – by a count of 3-2, they cruised past Bulkeley, 5-0.

In its three wins this year, Plainville outscored those opponents by a combined score of 15-5.

Cross countryThe boys’ and girls’ teams

both experienced similar, and very satisfying, results out on the course this past week. Both teams went 2-0 in their respective dual meets and impressed at the Camp Sloper Relays Saturday, Sept. 28.

The girls had convinc-ing victories over Platt and Bulkeley, besting both teams 19-44, to improve to 3-1.

Likewise, the boys’ team also defeated Platt and Bulkeley, by final counts of 21-34 and 15-50, respectively.

Heading into this week, the boys also boasted a dual meet record of 3-1.

At the Camp Sloper Relays, the local squads performed well.

From Page 17

The boys finished fourth and 14th overall out of 26 teams in the four relays.

Plainville A logged a time of 35:22, while Plainville C finished in 39:43. The Plainville B squad was 13th with a time of 37:52.

The Plainville girls also finished well, with squads B and A finishing fifth and sixth, respectively. Their fi-nal times were 47:02 for the B squad and 47:09 for the A.

In the one boy/one girl division, the duo of Omar Abdelsame and Delaney Russell finished second out of nine with a final time of 36:50.

Girls swimmingThe beginning of the year

was no walk in the park for the Lady Blue Devils, and the schedule looks as though it might not be getting easier any time soon. But the girls were able to capture that elu-sive first win last week, a 98-85 decision over Rocky Hill, to improve to 1-4.

The girls’ very next meet was against an extremely difficult Conard team, which swam away with a 98-76 victory.

Individuals such as se-nior Megan Farmer, senior Morgan LaCombe, soph-omore Sydney McGough, senior Ashley Walker, and ju-nior Molly Schade are doing their part to keep the Lady Blue Devils competitive.

Healthy foods are one half of a healthy lifestyle; exer-cise is the other.

At least 30 minutes a day of moving activity, even in three 10-minute bursts, can boost your energy and help reduce the risk of heart disease.

Going to the gym every single day isn’t a require-ment. There are easy ways to add activity to every day:

--Waking up first thing to a few minutes of sit-ups, push-ups or other simple exercises

--Parking at the far end of malls and shopping centers to get extra steps in

--Hopping off the bus one or two stops before your usual stop to enjoy the walk

--Choosing the stairs over elevators and escalators

--Bending, squatting,

digging and pulling while gardening count as physical activity

--Dancing counts as great exercise too

--Parks and trails are great for walking alone or with family for low-impact exercise

--Taking 10-minute brisk walks several times a day in or out of parks

--Exercising with one or more friends adds motiva-tion and enjoyment

--Large community cen-ters or malls accommodate walking routines in bad weather

--Turning household chores into calorie burners by moving with purpose

A movie nominated for the 2012 Best Picture Award will be the next feature at the Friends of the Plainville Public Library movie matinee series Thursday, Oct. 10, 2:30 p.m., at the library.

“Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close,” based on the book of the same name, is about a family affected by the 9/11 attacks on New York.

Oskar is convinced that his father (Tom Hanks), who died in the World Trade Center, has left a final message for him hidden in the city.

The program is free.

Nichole Morgillo holds off Ted Christopher, Connecticut’s all-time winningest short-track racer, to earn her first SK Modified victory.

Track

For her first SK Modified victory. Ever. For the first SK Modified

v i c to r y a t Wate rfo rd Speedbowl by any female driver. Ever.

Happily after? We can only assume.

“For us to pull off a win in the same night, it really is a fairy tale,” Morgillo said. “It’s a story you’d never hear of.”

Certainly it’s a story the folks at Waterford Speedbowl had never heard. They’d had public marriage proposals in the past, but never from one racer to another.

Then there’s that bit about never having a race in the Bowl’s 63-year history won by a woman. Though that honor technically be-longs to Victoria Bergenty of Plainville, who won the SK Lights race shortly be-fore Morgillo won the SK

From Page 9

Modified event.Bergenty — you guessed it,

disbelief now completely sus-pended — is a close friend of Morgillo’s. She’ll be in the wedding party.

Said the bride to be: “I guess all my stars were lined up that day.”

Thibeault is 26, Morgillo 25. Morgillo is the more ex-perienced racer, the more competitive, they both agree. She’s been racing since childhood and has been on the Modified circuit for six seasons.

They’ve been a couple, with a brief interruption, for seven years. A year ago, they bought a house in Plantsville. It was, they agreed, a test drive to marriage.

So the proposal in it-

self wasn’t a surprise. The manner was another story. Amplified? In public? That’s not Shawn.

“I am usually very simple, very shy and keep a lot of emotion to myself,” he said. “I’ve been wanting to ask her to marry me for awhile.”

The traditionalist in Thibeault first got the per-mission of her parents. He spoke to Nichole’s mom, Lisa, because he needed advice on a real good jewelry store, then approached Nichole’s dad, John, a cancer survivor who has been free of the dis-ease for three years.

“Welcome to the family,” said John, making it easy for his future son-in-law, pre-empting the question he knew was coming because Lisa had spilled the beans.

As for the romantic in Thibeault, that guy went the extra mile. His car was run-ning so well, and Nichole’s too, that he was banking on a top-three finish for the pair. He would ask her at the Speedbowl on the podium af-ter the race.

Lisa Morgillo spotted the flaw. “What if you guys don’t make it to the podium? You’ve got to have setup.”

That’s when the Speedbowl was brought in on the scheme. Nichole, who had sung the pre-race National Anthem on several occasions, would be told the scheduled singer couldn’t make it, so could she

please fill in?Nichole wasn’t thrilled

when asked Sept. 21. She had a race to run.

She was also a little peeved at Shawn. His car was good, but he seemed to be holding back in qualifying.

“Shawn was way faster than me. I won the heat, but I could tell Shawn wasn’t try-ing to get by me.”

In the paddock, Nichole

noticed Shawn’s mom seemed to be crying as race time approached. That was weird.

Lisa thought quickly. “If she’s crying, it’s probably be-cause you’re starting side by side with her son.”

A golf cart came along to drive Nichole out to the track infield to sing the anthem.

Morgillo exits her car already celebrating the first victory of her six-year Modified career.

her or not was of no concern. The serenity Nichole had taken into the race remained on those final circuits.

“This time, I wasn’t even thinking about winning,” she said. “I just wanted to bring the car home in one piece. I just wanted to celebrate.”

Plus, she had company be-hind the wheel. “I had that ring on my left hand. I could feel it under my glove. It made me feel lucky. It made me feel he was with me, help-ing me.”

Shawn was actually a few car lengths back. He sensed he didn’t have enough car to contend that night. He rode it out and watched his fiancée take the checkers.

“I had one eye on her and one eye on the race track to keep myself out of trouble,” he said. “For her to hold Ted off, that’s even more exciting than getting a win. You get a win and hold off one of the best?”

The stuff of fairy tales.Whether Morgillo contin-

ues to race against the boys at the Bowl remains to be seen. The battle with can-cer has taken a lot out of her dad, whose Brothers Pool Company is her primary sponsor.

Also, weekly racing can be a grind. Competing on the Valenti Modified Racing Series might prove a better option. The races are only once or twice a month, and they’re longer, which better suits Morgillo’s style.

“I tend to race people clean and I’m always good in the distance races,” she said.

Then there’s that wedding to plan and the attendant changes that come with get-ting married. Yet even now racing isn’t the end-all of ex-istence for the couple.

“Racing, I don’t want to say it’s our life, because we do have priorities, such as family, house and happiness,”

Nichole said.In the meantime, Morgillo

has two more races to run this season at Waterford and she feels she can win again. Her competitive fire is re-stoked. She and her crew, headed by Paul French, have that Car 56 purring.

Her heart, well, that’s just humming.

And to think that just a few weeks ago, Nichole was talking to her brother John about how disillusioned she was growing with racing.

“My car just kept com-ing home broken. It was just never anything I did. It was people driving through me, not caring at all. It was getting to the point where it was so frustrating that I didn’t know if it was worth it anymore.”

A lot can change in one night. Another Cinderella story? In some ways, a bet-ter one.

“It was an unbelievable day and an unbelievable night,” said Lisa Morgillo. “It still is.”

Track

Shawn asked to tag along. That was weird, too.

“I never get to hear you sing.”

Once they got out on that infield, in front of the crowd, the ruse fell away. The micro-phone was placed in Shawn’s hands, not Nichole’s.

“You play these things over and over in your head, you think about what you’re go-ing to say,” Shawn recounted. “It never comes out the way you want it to.”

It came out fine enough. Nichole was initially a bit confused. Then Shawn got down on that one knee. Nichole’s hands flew to her mouth, tears sprung to her eyes, her arms wrapped around her husband-to-be.

“It was a very good, special moment,” said Shawn. “It’s been seven years together. It’s been amazing. Every re-lationship has its bumps in the road and we have spent some time apart, but over-all it’s been mostly amazing memories with her. Asking her to marry me, I hope to keep those memories coming for years to come.”

Nichole gave the mari-tal scrapbook an unforget-table prologue by winning the race that followed. The funny thing? She never felt so at peace getting behind

From Page 19

the wheel.“I was honestly shaking (af-

ter the proposal). ‘Wow, I still have a race to run.’ Then I got into my car so calm,” Nichole reported. “When he asked me to marry him, it put all the stress off my back and I just went out there and killed.”

The kicker was that Nichole held off Ted Christopher. No driver has won more Modified races in Connecticut history than Christopher.

Not only that: Morgillo and Christopher had had a run-in back on the opening night of the season. Morgillo, having moved up all the way from dead last, was in con-tention on the final lap when Christopher made a move to pass that caused Morgillo to wreck.

That’s how Nichole saw it, at any rate. Irate, she climbed out of the car, climbed over its crumpled form, and pro-ceeded to run down the track in pursuit of Christopher.

An accomplished body-builder, Morgillo is in solid shape. She caught up to Christopher, gave him some choice words and grabbed a particular finger he had up-raised in her direction.

Heat of the moment. Nichole said she’s actually a big Ted Christopher fan. Sept. 21, she kept the state’s all-time best in her rear-view mirror over the last 10 laps, including off a late restart.

And yet whether he passed
