Town councilors say a plan for the town to market the sale of private land for a sports complex took them by sur-prise after it was brought up for a vote at a subcommittee meeting last month.

The plan is a new way of pursuing economic development for Southington that’s been effective in drawing busi-nesses to other towns, according to Republican Town Council Chairman Mi-chael Riccio. He said the town’s commit-tee system is intended to vet ideas before they’re sent to the full council.

The Town Council is scheduled to vote in November on a proposal for engineer-ing work on the site of a planned sports complex on West Street.

Councilors say sports complex plan a surpriseBy Jesse BuchananSpecial to The Citizen

A group of Kennedy Middle School parents had wanted a meeting of the minds during a hearing with the Board of Education and school super-intendent about the safety of walking routes after being told their children could no longer ride the bus.

But by the end of the nearly three-hour hearing, Oct. 22, one parent was in tears and the group as a whole left more frustrated than ever, saying school officials didn’t take their concerns seriously.

“I don’t know how seri-ous they were taking the is-sue with the comment made by the board member Brian (Goralski) that he wanted to end the meeting quickly to attend his daughter’s soccer game,” said Dawn Stomsky, of Summer Street in Plants-ville. “I felt that comment re-ally showed the lack there of seriousness of (the) point we were trying to get across to them.”

Despite other suggestions from their father, Ally and Paige Rosa were deter-mined to go to the Oct. 25 Halloween festival at the Southington Drive-In as Anna and Elsa from the Disney movie “Frozen.”

They joined children dressed up as superheroes, pirates, ghosts and pen-guins for a “trunk-or-treat” in the parking area at the drive-in on Mer-iden-Waterbury Turnpike.

Parents decorated the trucks of their vehicles and handed out candy. Michael Rosa, Ally and Paige’s father, had hay bales, cobwebs, a mechanical flying bat and pumpkins decorating his truck.

“I heard about it about an hour before and threw it together,” he said. “The Dollar’s store is a great thing.”

Lonnie DiNello, a painter with Kalei-doscope Art & Entertainment, provided face designs for children at the festival for more than three hours.

Red Ribbon Rally includes pledge for drug-free town

The Southington Drug Free Task Force held its 24th an-nual celebration on the Town Green Wednesday evening, Oct. 15. An intermittent light rain did not stop an esti-mated 400 students, parents, school and town leaders and friends from turning out for a high-spirited Red Ribbon Rally.

The town’s youth, many in their school, club and team colors, came to the stage as their group was called by emcee Rev. Victoria Triano who rallied with them in their pledge not to do drugs. Participating were peer advo-cates, mediators, peer lead-ers, YMCA, Police Explorers, STEPS Youth Council and Youth Committee, cheerlead-ers, school teams, including the entire Southington High School football team with its four captains.

Superintendent of Schools

Timothy Connellan said, “Our students are the true leaders in this effort, reaching out to their peers to spread the anti-drug message. Their efforts will have a significant and positive impact on our community.”

The event included pre-sentations of contest posters that rallied a call for a drug free community. “The poster winners will be judged by the SHS Key Club,” said Beth Hosmer of SHS.

The excitement of the event was sustained from its start to solemn candlelight finish as hundreds of kids silently circled the Town Green and beyond, their can-dles lighted in the darkness, honoring the memory of kids who have died because of drugs.

In addition to Connellan, speakers included: SHS Prin-cipal Martin Semmel, state Rep. Dave Zoni, Town Coun-cil members Tom Lombardi and Chris Palmieri. These participants inspired, af-firmed and encouraged all who took the pledge.

Southington Drug Free Task Force chairperson, Tr-isha Kenefick said, “Thanks to the many who took time

out of their busy schedules to stand up and publicly pro-claim our drug-free commit-ment. Drug and under-age alcohol abuse are down in Southington. But, all fam-ilies have a stake in carry-ing forward the message of the hundreds who shouted their pledges to a drug free community. We can do it, together.”

Barnes Museum’s appraisal night draws a crowd

The Barnes Museum hosted its 10th annual An-tiques Appraisal Night, Oct. 23, and the event was “ex-ceptionally busy,” according to organizers.

Shortly after the doors opened at the 85 Main St., Southington site, more than 70 people had signed up for a one-to-one consultation with an expert.

Typically, about 150 people turn out, but museum Cura-tor Marie Secondo expected about 180 to participate at the latest appraisal night.

The event is a fundraiser for the museum. Seven ac-credited appraisers from throughout Connecticut, many of whom operate their own shops, held court in the lavishly decorated rooms.

The museum is listed on the National Register of His-toric Places as part of the Southington Center Historic District.

Secondo said many come

to appraisal night to learn more about their objects – often something that’s been in the family.

“They want to know the history” and talk with a pro-fessional about their trea-sures, she said, adding, “It’s not just about the monetary value.”

Appraisers had their spe-cialties and patrons were sorted according to the items they’d brought in, such as fur-niture, glass, china, clocks, jewelry, post cards, toys, books, dolls, oriental rugs, military items and paintings. A small fee was charged for appraisals.

Some visitors brought in flea market items, or even something found by the side of the road, that they sus-pected had more value than what they’d paid.

Occasionally, a true find is uncovered. Secondo re-called a nautical bell a woman brought in. The woman learned that the item de-served to be referred to So-theby’s for auction. The bell

sold for just under $1 million. Secondo said appraisers

will refer patrons to other re-sources if the item appears to warrant further assessment.

Bill Macina of Bill’s An-tiques Appraisal, of North Ha-ven, worked with a full house

in his room at the Barnes. His specialty is paper collectibles with a “particular interest in Connecticut-related items.”

He had numerous paintings to review and staff noted that there was an abundance of paintings at this particular event.

One man came in with two framed paintings that had been languishing in the attic of his parents’ house which they’d bought at the early part

of the last century. He wasn’t sure if the paintings were items his parents had bought or if the art had been stored there previously.

While inspecting one of the paintings, Macina said it was not a masterpiece, however it might yield $250-$300. That sort of feedback was heard frequently during the evening and patrons seemed pleased with the results even if they hadn’t hit the jackpot.

Monster splash: Costume contest ducks the rain

Families got in a good hour-and-a-half of fun at the Hal-loween in the Village event in downtown Plantsville the night of Oct. 23 before rain sent the crowds packing.

Before the rain set in shortly after 7 p.m., judges gave out awards for the scar-iest, most unique, most cre-ative, funniest, and best character impersonation in a costume contest. The event started at 5:30 p.m.

“This is from the movie ‘Frozen’,” said 9-year-old Lau-ren Dattilo, of Southington, as she showed off her Elsa cos-tume. “Every time I put it on, I feel like the real Elsa. I just could wear this every day.”

Lauren won best charac-ter impersonation. Her twin brother, Ryan Dattilo, won the scariest costume. He was dressed in all black and had a mask. Ryan was the soul taker.

“I wanted to be scary,” he said.

For the second year in a

row, James Berube, 10, of Southington won the fun-niest costume award. He was dressed in a costume that made him look as if he rode an ostrich. Last year he dressed as Psy, the South Korean singer of “Gangnam Style” fame.

Mia Peters, 9, and Isabella Sena, 8, won the most unique costumes. The friends were dressed as a frozen treat called “ICEE” that comes in a cup. The two had larger-than-life sized straws coming out past their heads.

“Me and a friend made them together,” said Deanna Sena, Isabella’s mother.

The most creative award went to Daniel Messner, 10, of Plantsville for his headless body costume.

Dozens of other chil-dren and their families were dressed in costumes as they

walked through downtown Plantsville. Many businesses offered candy to Trick-or-Treaters or had special events for the children.

At Zingarellas, some staff members were dressed as Disney princesses and posed with children for pictures. Snow White and Cinder-ella greeted children as they rushed up to take pictures.

Madison Rizzuto, 7, and her 5-year-old sister, Taylor, posed with the princesses as their mother Cara Rissuto took some photos.

“This is the first time we’ve come here so this is really, re-ally cool,” said Cara Rizzuto, of Southington.

“I love Cinderella’s dress and I love this whole thing,” said Madison, who was dressed as a mix between Frankenstein and a pirate.

“You get one guess. Elsa,” she said.

DiNello grew up in Southington across from the drive-in and moved back to town last year after college. She remembered seeing mov-ies across the street and was glad to see the site back in operation.

“I was sad when it closed and I was so glad when Parks and Recreation opened it back up,” she said.

The drive-in is now owned by the town. Proceeds from the festival this year went to the Southington Commu-nity Cultural Arts and the Southington Valley Midget Football League.

Dawn Miceli, a Town Coun-cilor who helped organize the festival, said the parking area filled up completely at 4 p.m. and cars were turned away.

During the day, families could get hay rides, deco-rate pumpkins, ride ponies

or enter a pie-eating contest. Miceli said that more activi-ties were added this year, the third Halloween festival held at the drive-in.

Before the movies Satur-day night, Miceli and state Rep. David Zoni gave drive-in passes to families who had the best decorated vehicles in the trunk-or-treat.

Patrick Post, of Manches-ter, got a pass for bringing his hearse. He was a former fu-neral home director and kept the vehicle of his trade.

“This has been a hit,” Post said. “I had a great time last and said, ‘Let’s do it again this year.’ ”

Although the parking lot was full and closed last year when Post arrived, he was let in anyway.

“They said, ‘you’re driving a hearse, we have to let you in,’ ” he said.

Miceli didn’t have a total for the crowd but said there were thousands. Each carload could get in for $10 for resi-dents and $15 for those out of town.

A dozen superheroes, princesses and sports stars danced the night away Sun-day, Oct. 25, at the Titanium Theater. The flickering neon lights and booming music made it seem like a nightclub.

Kids from the Center Stage Dance Studio were thrilled to show off their break dancing, hip-hop and ballet moves and eat pizza while their parents relaxed on the sidelines.

The theater is an event space and performance venue located inside the dance stu-dio at 477 N. Main St. Owner Denise Rivera said the space is rented for birthdays and other special occasions.

“It’s family-friendly and it’s just a great place to have a party,” Rivera said.

“Boo Bash” consisted of a dance-off, potato sack race, singing competition and cos-tume contest.

“The Halloween party just gives kids a place to go with

their families,” Rivera said.Her daughter, Anabella Ri-

vera, 6, was dressed as Ra-punzel. She was grooving out with her best friend, Skylar Renehan, 9, of Plantsville, dressed as a hippie. They bounced around the dance floor, spinning and holding hands.

Anabella Rivera said she loves Halloween and was having a lot of fun.

“I like that it’s spooky,” she

said of the holiday.Renehan said she was look-

ing forward to the singing competition.

“I’m feeling pretty excited,” she said, flipping back her long brown wig. She said her favorite dance move is the robot.

Felicia Sharik, of Bristol, brought her son, Nathan Bar-rett, to dance with his friends.

“It’s something he loves do-ing,” Sharik said. “It’s his life.”

Complex

On Sept. 25, the Economic Development Strike Commit-tee voted unanimously in fa-vor of a town plan to market 34 acres owned by the Sepko family for the sports complex. The town will fund engineer-ing work on the property, get Planning and Zoning Com-mission approval for the

project and then turn it over to a private developer who’ll build the facility.

Democratic Councilor Dawn Miceli, a member of the economic strike commit-tee, voted in favor of putting the work out to bid. She said that meeting late last month was the first she’d heard of the plan though.

Riccio said he expects the

council to support the sports complex marketing.

“I don’t see why we wouldn’t,” he said. “I haven’t had anyone who’s against economic development.”

Riccio was surprised Miceli wanted the idea raised earlier.

“She sits on the Economic Strike Committee,” he said.

Working through prelimi-nary ideas is “the whole pur-pose of the subcommittee,” Riccio said.

Riccio and Economic De-velopment Director Louis Perillo III have been work-ing on the idea since earlier this year. While working in subcommittees can be more efficient, Miceli said there’s often less public participation and knowledge of town plans.

“It can be concerning be-cause I found we lost a bit of the public conversation around certain issues,” she said. “You lose some of that public discourse.”

The West Street project is the first time town money has been spent in an attempt to market private property in this way, councilors said.

“I think it should have been a public conversation,” Miceli said. “I don’t think everything should be at the committee level.”

While the council will vote on a recommended proposal, Miceli said she would have liked more council involve-ment earlier in the process.

“Is it too far along in the process to stop it at that point?” she said. “The plan

was already hatched.”Cheryl Lounsbury, a Re-

publican and council vice chairwoman, also heard about the sports complex effort after the strike com-mittee vote. While she’s at-tracted to the idea and will probably support it, she said it’s still in the research stage in her mind.

“I don’t think this is set in stone yet,” Lounsbury said. “This is a whole new concept we’re exploring. At any time we can call a halt to this.”

“I’d like to see some re-search on how (sports com-plexes) are doing in this economy,” she said. “I would like to see a little more research.”

Committees sometimes report their progress on ideas in stages, according to Lounsbury, and that could have been done in this case.

“Why we didn’t hear about it sooner? I don’t know,” Lounsbury said.

Chris Palmieri, a Democrat and council minority leader, said he supports new busi-nesses in town but also hadn’t known anything about the plan before late September.

“I was a little surprised as to how that came about my-self,” he said. “I wasn’t really aware of the process for this one.

“I think it is important to keep members of the council in the loop on the process,” Palmieri said.

Town Attorney Mark Sciota said the Economic Develop-ment Strike Committee vote authorized he and Perillo to assemble a request for pro-posals and send it out.

Since engineering work to market a property isn’t a spe-cifically budgeted item, it will come before the Town Coun-

cil for a vote once Perillo and Sciota recommend one of the proposals received, he said. Contracts for budgeted items don’t come before the council.

Up to $50,000 from the economic development of-fice’s contracted services line item will be used for the work on the West Street property. That line item was increased from $9,000 in the last fiscal year to $35,000 in the current fiscal year. In the budget it’s earmarked as funding for “new project initiatives requiring profes-sional services.”

On July 28, the town signed a contract with the Sepkos to lock in a price for the prop-erty. Perillo said it’s part of the town’s strategy to remove some of the risk for a devel-oper looking to build a sports complex. The town provided a copy of the contract in re-sponse to a request from the Record-Journal, but would not release the price that was negotiated.

The contract provides re-imbursement to the town by the Sepkos if the property is sold “due to the town’s mar-keting efforts.” The town has nine months to market the property, and the signers can extend the contract for three months after that.

From Page 8Town officials have re-

ceived eight bids for engi-neering work for a proposed sports complex on West Street.

Town Attorney Mark Sciota updated the Town Council on the proposals at the Oct. 27 meeting, where a town resi-dent criticized the project.

Sciota had opened the pro-posals Oct. 24. Offers ranged from $19,500 to $109,000 for engineering and site work for the West Street property.

“We’re happy we received that many,” he said. “That’s very rare to have eight engi-neering companies come in to bid on something.”

On Sept. 25, the Economic Development Strike Commit-tee voted unanimously in fa-vor of a town plan to market 34 acres owned by the Sepko

family for the sports complex. The town will fund engineer-ing work on the property, get Planning and Zoning Com-mission approval for the proj-ect, and then turn it over to a private developer to build the facility.

Sciota hadn’t reviewed the bids yet to see if they’re all of-fering the same services.

“There are eight of them and they’re very compli-cated,” he said.

Town Councilor Victoria Triano asked if part of the bid review process included checking references.

Sciota said references are the first thing checked.

John Campbell called the economic development plan “corporate welfare.”

“(Developers) can afford to come before inland wetlands

or planning and zoning,” he said. “I think it’s very inap-propriate. You might as well hand them a $50,000 check.”

Campbell also said he couldn’t foresee the town reg-ulatory boards’ saying “no” to the town’s own proposal.

Plantsville School.Goralski, board chairman,

said the comment about at-tending his daughter’s soccer game was not made during the public hearing, but during a recess and that it was “mis-construed” by parents. The meeting started nearly an hour after it was scheduled to begin and lasted almost three hours. Goralski said the board took its time with the issue.

“The board took their con-cerns incredibly serious,” he said.

During the hearing, par-ents said they were wor-ried about their children walking through downtown

Plantsville to get to and from school. They cited exces-sive speed on West Main and Summer streets, sight ob-structions, and commercial loading zones. Fourteen par-ents attended the hearing.

The meeting was the re-sult of an appeal by Jennifer and Jason Doty of Prospect Street after the administra-tion on Sept. 12 informed fam-ilies that live within 1.5 miles of Kennedy that their chil-dren were considered “walk-ers” under the school board’s transportation policy.

“I was disappointed with the outcome but I also think that as a parent … I feel like the safety of our children comes first. I don’t think that

we’re going to stop here,” said Denise Sicotte. “I’m dis-appointed with the way that the meeting went and the out-come of it but I don’t feel as though that’s it. There’s more to be done.”

Sicotte’s daughter is a fifth-grader at Plantsville Elemen-tary and will be attending Kennedy next year. She lives on Church Street.

For years, many students living within 1.5 miles of Ken-nedy have been walking to other neighborhoods to catch the bus, Goralski said.

“They were receiving bus service that they were never entitled to,” Goralski said. “I don’t want people to think we’re looking for ways to

save money… this came to at-tention because of an over-crowded bus and student incident on a bus,” he added.

After receiving a complaint from a parent about an inci-dent on the bus, Goralksi said the administration at Kennedy looked into the is-sue and found eight students, who were not eligible for the service, were using the bus.

Under the school system’s transportation policy, ele-mentary school students who live within one mile of school do not receive bus service. At the middle school level it’s 1.5 miles and for high school stu-dents it’s two miles.

The Dotys filed an appeal seeking continued bus ser-vice for their eighth-grade son. The intent was to prove the route was “hazardous,” which is the only way the school board would consider adding a student to the bus route.

The school board voted 3-1 that the route was not danger-ous and bus service was not needed. Instead, the adminis-tration will look into the pos-sibility of hiring a crossing guard at Summer and West Main streets, a big area of concern for parents. A guard could be added on a trial ba-sis, school officials said.

Schools Superintendent Tim Connellan and Opera-tions Director Peter Romano walked the route the Dotys son must take. Goralski said he also walked the route.

They found that trac-tor-trailers obstructed part of the sidewalk and the street in front of Torrey S. Crane Co., 492 Summer St., creating a hazard, but that the rest of the route was safe. They said other paths were available to students if a tractor-trailer created an obstruction.

The meeting was initially

expected to be held in pri-vate session to protect the identity of the Dotys’ son, Go-ralski said, but the Dotys ex-ercised their option to make the hearing public after 12 other parents showed up with similar concerns. But the school board wouldn’t allow those parents to speak unless the Dotys’ chose them to act as witnesses and they com-mented directly on the Dotys’ appeal, which added to par-ents’ frustration. Four of the 12 parents spoke as witnesses.

Afterward, parents said they felt the meeting was uncomfortable.

At one point Connellan corrected Jason Doty’s pro-nunciation of his name.

“The way that he corrected him was in a disrespectful tone,” Stomsky said.

Connellan said he felt it was “appropriate” to correct Doty.

“Honestly, I’ve been in the district since Aug. 11, and I just think quite frankly it’s a matter of respect,” said Con-nellan, whose name is pro-nounced with an accent on the second syllable. “I go to great lengths to make sure I get pronunciation of people’s names correct. If someone thinks that’s condescending, I’m sorry that’s their opinion. But I think it was very appro-priate given the fact I met with that family previously.”

Parents said they would continue to seek bus service.

“We’re going to pursue this until these kids can get bus transportation back and forth to school,” said Stomsky.

“There’s a message to be sent,” Sicotte said, “that we really need to educate the town and the state about the safety concerns we have about the path. It isn’t about the distance but what’s occur-ring along that path.”

Emotions were high Oct. 22 as parents expressed con-cerns about the safety of their children walking to and from Kennedy Middle School af-ter administrators decided to stop students who live within 1.5 miles from the school from using the bus service. After nearly three hours of deliber-ation during a public hearing at the Municipal Center, the Board of Education decided the walk isn’t hazardous and bus transportation would not be restored.

The distance is part of the school’s transportation pol-icy, but not enforced until recently, according to par-ents. The policy on buses and transportation was ad-opted in October 1988 and reviewed in April 2003. Fam-

ilies who live within 1.5 miles of Kennedy were told on Sept. 12, 2014 that their chil-dren could no longer use the buses. Many of those parents were in attendance.

Peter Romano, director of operations for the school dis-trict, declined to comment on why those students were not allowed to use the buses any longer.

The meeting was initially expected to be held in exec-utive session because of an appeal by Jennifer and Jason Doty that stated their con-cerns with their eighth-grade son walking to school to and from their home on Prospect Street. Because 12 other par-ents showed up, the school board gave the Dotys the op-tion to make their case public.

Emotions

held under the condition that only the Dotys could speak and the public could not comment. The Dotys were able to choose witnesses to talk. Those witnesses could only speak of the Dotys’ sit-uation and their son’s poten-tially harmful walk to and from school, but could not talk about their own chil-dren. The 12 other parents felt their children were in danger as well. The Dotys decided to move forward with the hear-ing under those conditions.

The Dotys’ apprehensions were addressed in front of school administrators and four members of the school board. Both had attorneys present.

The Dotys live on Pros-pect Street and Kennedy is on South Main Street. They said their son now walks through downtown Plantsville, which they feel is dangerous.

They said the route is haz-ardous and that the condi-tions violate the school’s policy on routes and ser-vices and what qualifies a

safe route. They wanted the school board to restore the transportation their son was receiving.

“This is all about one thing and this is the safety of our son,” Jason Doty said.

The Dotys, along with other parents, cited their safety concerns with the route, in-cluding sight obstructions, excessive speeding traffic on West Main Street and Sum-mer Street, and commercial loading zones.

Jason Doty showed a few video clips he took along the route. One showed a box truck coming down Summer Street to West Main Street stopped on the cross walk his son would be using before turning left. Another showed 127 vehicles going past that intersection in less than six minutes. Jason Doty said he took that clip a day after the middle school got out.

The school’s policy reads that a route could be deemed “hazardous” for students if there is an “average count which exceeds 120 vehicles per hour” when students are walking to school. School Su-

perintendent Tim Connellan said that part of the policy only applies to intersections with three or more streets.

Connellan felt the admin-istration didn’t violate the policy in taking away bus transportation.

Both Romano and Con-nellan walked the route the Dotys’ son takes. Romano walked the route with the family.

“As far as I can see, we have been in compliance with all of those,” Connellan said.

During the hearing the Dotys pointed out that on one side of Summer Street the sidewalk ends.

They also pointed out trac-tor-trailers covered part of the sidewalk and the street in front of the Torrey S. Crane Co. on 492 Summer St. that would force their son to go into the street to go around it.

“It’s not a safe environ-ment,” Jennifer Doty said.

Administrators agreed with the Dotys that it was un-safe where the tractor-trailers were.

“Common knowledge is you can’t block half a street like that,” Romano said.

Romano suggested that the Dotys son take Cowles Av-enue, to Elm Street, then to Prospect Street as a safer al-ternative that avoids the rest of Summer Street.

Connellan said establishing a crossing guard at the inter-section of West Main Street and Summer Street would solve the issues.

He believed the cross guard could contact the company if the truck were in the way and also look out for the safety of students walking by.

After Board of Education

members spoke with its attor-ney in executive session, they voted 3-1 that the district was following the policies cor-rectly and would look into assigning a crossing guard to the route.

School board member Da-vid Derynoski was opposed.

Board of Education Chair-man Brian Goralksi told the Dotys that the findings would be sent in writing to them in 10 days. An appeal may be au-thorized to the state Board of Education within 20 days of when the Dotys receive the written findings.

After the meeting, parents declined to comment, saying they were too emotional to make a statement.

The parents who attended the meeting were only al-lowed to speak about the Dotys’ situation if they were called as witnesses, not their own.

Before the meeting started, many parents expressed their concerns with the change in one of the conference rooms at the Municipal Center.

“It’s less about the 1.5 miles but more about the safety in the 1.5 miles,” said Bonnie Plourde, who has two chil-dren attending Plantsville School who would be af-fected by the change when they reached Kennedy.

“Had I realized we would be walkers I wouldn’t have taken the apartment that I did,” said Cindy Theraiult, a parent who has a daughter in sixth grade and lives on Pros-pect Street.

The orthopedic portion of a surgery center that opened last month at the Hospital of Central Connecticut’s Brad-ley campus could move to a new facility in Cheshire in about two years, according to local doctors.

Eye surgeon Farid Shafik, who performed operations at the Bradley operating room for 15 years before it was moved to New Britain, said he was told in a medical staff meeting last year that the orthopedic center which replaced the operating room would move to a planned or-thopedic surgery center in Cheshire.

HHC Southington Surgery Center LLC leases space at the Bradley campus of the Hospital of Central Connecti-cut. MidState Medical Center in Meriden and the Hospital of Central Connecticut own 51 percent of the company and both those hospitals are in turn owned by Hartford

HealthCare Corp.Hartford Heal thCare

spokes woman Rebecca Stewart didn’t comment on whether the hospital network planned to move orthopedic surgery to Cheshire.

“It is too soon for us to tell if orthopedic surgery in particular will be provided (at Bradley) or somewhere else in the years to come,” she said. “But, if orthopedic surgery moved several years from now, we would provide other types of ambulatory surgical procedures at the Bradley location.

“We’ve made significant in-vestments in operating rooms and in facilities that are stra-tegic, well planned and long term. Ambulatory orthopedic surgery just began at Bradley, and is doing very well,” Stew-art said.

The surgery center re-placed four general operat-ing rooms closed in July 2013 with three operating rooms.

Anthony Ciardella, a lo-cal primary care doctor and chief of medicine at Brad-

ley, also said the plan was to move orthopedic surgery to a free-standing building in Cheshire in an attempt to draw patients from a town served by Yale-New Ha-ven Hospital or Waterbury Hospital.

“By putting something there in that area, they’ll be able to capture some of the Cheshire market,” Ciardella said.

Thus far the orthopedic center has been a “home run,” according to Ciardella. Orthopedic surgeons from around the state have bought into the company and are also bringing patients from around Connecticut.

“They’re doing 25 cases a day. We wouldn’t do 25 cases a month, other than eye sur-gery” at Bradley’s operating room, Ciardella said.

After orthopedic opera-tions move, Ciardella said the plan is to bring general surgeons to the center on the Bradley campus. In ad-dition to Hospital of Central Connecticut and MidState,

physicians own a share in the company along with a surgery center management company, Constitution Sur-gery Centers.

“General surgeons will come back again knowing that they’ll get not only their fees but a cut of the profits,” he said.

Orthopedics is a profit-able specialty for hospitals, according to Ciardella and Shafik. A 2013 study of 102 hospitals by health care com-pany Merrit Hawkins showed that orthopedic surgeons brought in the most on aver-age of 18 studied specialties. Surgeons garnered $2.68 mil-lion per year for their hospi-tals, according to the study, while the second highest specialty, invasive cardiology, brought in $2.17 million.

To open the surgery cen-ter, Hartford HealthCare requested a certificate of need from the state Office of Health Care Access. The ap-proval letter included Hart-ford HealthCare’s cost and revenue projections for 2014

to 2016. Costs are anticipated to be between $5 million and $5.6 million, while revenue is expected to be between $10 million and $10.8 million in those years. According to the certificate of need, Hartford HealthCare spent $1.8 mil-lion on medical equipment for the center and $2.2 mil-lion in building renovations.

Bonnie Sica, a former med-ical practice management consultant and Southington resident, said she requested clarification on whether or not physicians could operate in the center if they hadn’t bought into the practice.

The Office of Health Care Access told her that any phy-sicians with the proper li-censing could, according to Sica.

Shafik now performs sur-geries at the New Britain campus of the Hospital of Central Connecticut. While the surgery center is theoret-ically open to him, he said it likely won’t provide the spe-cialized surgical equipment he needs for eye procedures.

Air Force Airman Steven J. Frauenheim graduated from basic military training at Joint Base San Antonio-Lack-land, San Antonio, Texas.

The airman completed an intensive, eight-week pro-gram that included training in military discipline and stud-ies, Air Force core values, physical fitness, and basic warfare principles and skills.

Airmen who complete ba-sic training earn four credits toward an associate in ap-plied science degree through the Community College of the Air Force.

Frauenheim, a 2013 grad-uate of Southington High School, is the son of Lori A. Frauenheim of New Britain, and James P. Frauenheim of Southington.

Jennifer G. Sprengelmeyer, a student at Val-ley Forge Military Academy and College, Wayne, Pa., has graduated from the Army Re-serve Officers’ Training Corps Leader Training Course at Fort Knox, Ky.

The four-week course is a leadership internship for ca-dets that can lead to the ulti-mate goal of becoming Army officers. College students ex-perience and examine the Army without incurring an obligation to serve, and are eligible to receive two-year college scholarship offers and attend the ROTC Advanced Course at their colleges.

Cadets are observed and evaluated during classroom and field training exercises to determine their officer poten-

tial in leadership abilities and skills. The cadets are trained to have a sound understand-ing of traditional leadership values during the challeng-ing, motivating “hands-on” training.

The training develops well-disciplined, highly moti-vated, physically conditioned students, and helps improve the cadets’ self-confidence, initiative, leadership poten-tial, decision making, and collective team cohesion. The cadets receive training in fundamental military skills, Army values, ethics, War-rior ethos, basic rifle marks-manship, small arms tactics, weapons training, drill and ceremony, communications, combat water survival train-ing, rappelling, land nav-igation, and squad-level operations field training.

Sprengelmeyer, a 2103 graduate of Southington High school, is the daughter of Bar-bara Hayes of Southington and Arthur Sprengelmeyer of South Windsor.

Proud traditionTo the Editor:On behalf of the entire Ap-

ple Harvest Festival Supervi-sory Committee I would like to thank everyone who con-tributed to another successful Apple Harvest Festival. We

are very proud to continue such a fine Southington tra-dition. Despite a couple rainy days, we made up for it with our entertainment, carnival, food, demonstrations, and community atmosphere. It is thanks to the combined ef-

forts of many that we are able to do this. We are very lucky to live in such a fine com-munity. I’m already looking forward to the 47th annual Festival.

Letters to the Editor

Stephen P. Pintarich posts the following definition of a veteran at the close of every email he sends:

A veteran — whether on active duty, retired, national guard or reserve — is a per-son who, at some point in his /her life, signed a blank check made payable to ‘The United States of America’ in the amount of ‘up to and in-cluding my life.’ That is honor . And, there are far too many in our country today who do not understand it. - Author unknown

A past commander and stalwart member of Ameri-can Legion Kiltonic Post #72, Pintarich seems to be in per-petual motion in his dedica-tion to activities that help serve the needs of our veter-ans and active armed forces personnel.

Southington is fortunate to have American Legion Kiltonic Post # 72 with its many members dedicated to those who have served and are serving today. They share a stake in our commu-nity and its youth. A group of veterans in Southington is part of a committee of the Board of Education. They as-sist our teachers in planned classrooms visits with our students during patriotic pe-riods such as Memorial Day, Flag Day and Veterans Day.

It has been a fine addition to the education of our stu-dents to have veterans share their experience, knowledge and particular moments in service to country. The Le-gion is a community of many who have served their coun-try at different periods of time who together dedicate

themselves to further service. People like Post Commander, Steve McCarty, Past Com-mander Bob Abbott, Igino Torone, Joe DellaPorte, Past Commander John DeMello, Sr and ever- energetic Auxil-iary volunteer, Rachel Wache, are but a few of many more who have helped promote an increased awareness of the self-sacrifice of veterans.

In fact, people stop me on the street to say “thank you for your service” on Veterans Day. That is important, espe-cially at a time when service to our country sometimes loses the honor it deserves.

Not only is Veterans Day less than two weeks away but Christmas is not too far off either. In an email to Southington veterans and friends from Pintarich this week he announced: “We, (volunteer veterans and friends), will be in front of Walmart Sunday Nov. 2, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. We need help. We’ll be handing out lists of items to customers entering Walmart for items needed by our vets living at Rocky Hill Veterans Home. We hope they will help us make Christ-mas extra special for our vets this year. Cash donations will be gratefully accepted, as well, and will be used to pur-chase additional items for the veterans.”

Quilts of Valor for our Honored Veterans

Southington’s American Legion, Kiltonic Post # 72 and the Legion Auxiliary were honored to host their second Quilts of Valor sewing ses-sion this year on Oct.18. Some

25 volunteers responded to the invitation to sew quilts for the Quilts of Valor Foun-dation which provides the specially designed quilts to veterans of all services who have been touched by war in service to our country.

Connecticut coordinator of the national Quilts of Valor Foundation, Jane Dougherty, said the work of the volun-teers is one of compassion and caring for the sacrifices and wounds of war of men and women who left their homes to serve their country. She said 65 pounds of fabric and blocks were adopted in the process.

“A great deal of labor goes into making quilts from gath-ering the material to cutting, piecing and sewing. Six quilt tops were made ready to be long-armed quilting,” Dough-erty said.

“Quilts of Valor will be welcomed back to American Legion Post #72 in the near future,” said veteran, John De-Mello, Sr., a past-Commander of Post # 72 who has, through the years, dedicated himself to many veterans, particu-

larly in individual situations that might otherwise escape the notice of most.

DeMello said, “Finished Quilts of Valor are usually made of a patriotic fabric or otherwise uniquely sym-bolic design and ultimately

presented to veterans in the presence of their families in a simple yet private ceremony. Veterans who have received quilts treasure them. Some expressing great emotion at the unexpected honor.”

Spirits just misunderstood, Ghost Hunters say

Sydney Sherman claims to have been able to perceive ghosts since she was a child.

Sherman and her son Christian Bryant are two of the founding members of Connecticut Ghost Hunters, one of the oldest paranormal investigation teams in the state.

Sherman, Bryant, and two other team members gave a presentation at the Ber-lin-Peck Memorial Library Oct. 21. One big difference between this group and some other ghost hunters is the Connecticut Ghost Hunt-ers’ firm belief that most ghosts are not malevolent, and that ghosts that may ap-pear frightening are merely misunderstood.

“People are usually visited by their loved ones,” Sherman said.

The group’s approach is generally to disprove the presence of spirits. “We’re big into debunking,” Bryant

explained. “If the faucet is turning on and off… we try to find an explanation.”

For example, a common type of faux paranormal ev-idence is images of “orbs.” Generally, Bryant said, these orbs are dust particles in the air or particles of moisture that capture and reflect light. Bryant demonstrated that you can see these particles from

a projector screen by turning the lights off. You can also see these dust particles at home by using a flashlight in a dark room.

The group generally con-ducts investigations at homes and historical sites, but they have visited cemeteries on occasion, with permission. “Don’t go into cemeteries without permission,” Bry-

ant advised – trespassing at night is against the law, and you can be arrested. Some cemeteries have difficulties with trespassers who damage gravestones, including irre-placeable historical artifacts.

“Our ancestors have al-ways believed in an afterlife,” Sherman said. “It wasn’t until around 1870 that we changed our minds and decided you can’t see them again until you have passed.” Table settings for the deceased used to be a common practice on certain occasions, Sherman adds.

According to Sherman, there are two types of spiri-tual phenomena: intelligent spirits and “residual” haunt-ings, ghostly impressions that are caught in a loop and can-not be interacted with. Ac-cording to Sherman, ghosts that are crying or expressing negative emotions are resid-ual spirits – not intelligent ones. When someone passes on, they don’t experience emotion in the same way, and they are free of every-thing that may have weighed them down in life, Sherman explains.

The group uses a wide va-riety of equipment to gather evidence of ghosts. Although regular voice recorders can be used to get EVP (Electronic Voice Phenomenon) record-

ings of ghosts, the group uses a more expensive, shielded recorder. Regular recorders can pick up radio, leading to snatches of speech from radio stations being misinterpreted as evidence of ghosts.

Sherman shared a num-ber of legends with a rapt audience, including the tale of the black dog of hanging hills. Black dog legends are popular, as are legends of a lady in white, Sherman said. The mythical dog supposedly roams the hanging hills of Berlin and Meriden, and leg-ends of it can be traced back to 1898. There is no credible evidence of the creature ac-tually existing, however, and deaths supposedly caused by the black dog can be at-tributed to the “perils of the range,” Sherman said.

Another popular story is of Midnight Mary. In 1872, a woman named Mary Hart died, most likely of consump-tion, leaving behind a grave-stone featuring the ominous words “The people shall be troubled at midnight and pass away.” However, Sherman said, this story too has no ev-idence of the supernatural, and the apparently ominous words on the gravestone are actually taken from a favorite

CCC panel unveils league realignment

The Central Connecti-cut Conference realignment committee announced alter-ations to the league last week.

The divisions are based first and foremost on school size. The changes will be im-plemented beginning next fall.

The following is the new alignment for football:

Division I East — Glaston-bury, Hartford Public, Farm-ington, Manchester, East Hartford

Division I West — Southington, Simsbury, Hall, Conard, New Britain

Division II East — South Windsor, Middletown, Wind-sor, Bulkeley, RHAM, E.O. Smith

Division II West — Avon, Newington, Wethersfield, Platt, Maloney, Bristol East-ern, Bristol Central

Division III East — Berlin, Fermi, Rocky Hill, Rockville, Tolland

Division III West — Bloomfield, Northwest Cath-olic, East Catholic, Plainville, Weaver

“I think they’re positive for us and positive for the con-ference,” said Platt athletic di-rector Rich Katz, who served on the committee composed of athletic directors and prin-cipals from 11 schools.

Katz said that competi-tion on the junior varsity and freshmen levels, essential to the development of high school football players, has diminished in Division III because some schools don’t have adequate numbers to field teams at all three levels.

“We’re probably going to be able to fill the jayvee and freshman voids in football now,” he said. “We lost about three games at the junior

varsity level and three at the freshman level. The schools we’ll be playing have more numbers.”

The CCC by rule is sup-posed to reevaluate its divi-sional structure every two years, but the current lineup has been the same since 2011.

“It’s been four years and we realized it was time to get go-ing,” Katz said. “Platt moving from Division II to Division III is something we decided when the process started.”

For Southington, with the eighth largest boys popula-tion in the state according to the data compiled by the CIAC in August, it’s business as usual.

“Football is a unique an-imal because it’s based on size,” Southington athletic director Eric Swallow said. “Football is never going to change for us because of the size of our school.”

Maloney AD Howie Hewitt approved of the committee’s decisions.

“A committee worked long and hard on the realignment. There will always be some who love it and some who don’t. The confidence is with the group who made the de-cisions. The best interest of the league is the prime moti-vator. I’m confident that the realignment was done this way,” Hewitt said.

The admission of Avon, bringing CCC membership to 33 schools, the most in the state, made realignment im-perative across the board.

“Avon had been trying to get in the league because they felt the CCC is more suitable [than the North Cen-tral Connecticut Conference, a small-school conglomer-ation ranging from Granby and Canton east to Stafford Springs],” Swallow said. “They petitioned the prin-cipals and athletic directors of the CCC and got enough votes to be accepted after multiple attempts.”

CCC commissioner Bar-

bara Startup said Avon was a good fit in spite of the un-wieldy nature of a 33-team circuit.

“It wasn’t unanimous. We had long debates. It was enough for the major-ity to win,” said Startup, for-merly the athletic director at Glastonbury and Avon. “The advantage was they bring to the table the number of pro-grams and competitiveness. It was a difficult decision.”

The new divisions for the sports that have full league participation will be di-vided into three “regions” of 11 schools each. Each re-gion will have two subdivi-sions, a Blue Division with five schools and a White with six. Katz said the regions are based on geography, with size and winning percentage key elements in the subdivisional structure.

Each school will play ev-ery team within its region at

least once. All games played against regional opponents will count in the division standings.

For baseball, boys and girls basketball, boys and girls cross country, boys and girls soccer, boys and girls out-door track, girls volleyball and boys golf, the divisions will break out like this:

NORTH REGIONBlue Division — East

Catholic, East Hartford, Hart-ford Public, South Windsor, Manchester

White Division — Bloom-field, E.O. Smith, Fermi, RHAM, Rockville, Tolland

CENTRAL REGIONBlue Division — Conard,

Hall, Glastonbury, Simsbury, Southington

White Division — Avon, Bulkeley, Farmington, North-

west Catholic, Weaver, Windsor

SOUTH REGIONBlue Division — Bris-

tol Central, Bristol Eastern, New Britain, Newington, Wethersfield

White Division — Berlin, Maloney, Middletown, Plain-ville, Platt, Rocky Hill

Alignments for sports with partial league participa-tion — field hockey, boys ice hockey, wrestling, boys and girls lacrosse, boys and girls swimming, girls golf, girls gymnastics and boys volley-ball — will be adjusted in-dividually. Alignments for those sports may be found on the league’s website, www.centralconnecticutconference.org.

Other moves are likely in the offing, including the ever-changing high school sports scene in Hartford and

the merger of the two Enfield schools. Fermi is a CCC mem-ber while Enfield plays in the NCCC. The merged school would become Enfield and its size increase probably would warrant realignment consideration.

In Hartford, the public schools — Bulkeley, Pub-lic and Weaver — have had their populations affected by the advent of magnet schools (Sports Sciences, Capital Prep, Classical, University) and now the new league of Capitol Region Education Council (CREC) schools, called Capitol Region Ath-letic League (CRAL).

Rumors of Weaver’s depar-ture have been rampant for years. With uncertainty of the school’s reconstruction proj-ect, Weaver’s athletes report-edly attend class in various sections of the city and have to find transportation back to the school to compete.

Startup said, “They hav-en’t even put a shovel in the ground yet. It’s frustrating for them as well as us. [Bulke-ley, Public and Weaver] are very important to the league. They’re original members and we do not want to see them leave.”

Above all, Startup, Swal-low and Katz stressed that the student-athletes are the primary concern as every proposal is contemplated.

Ghosts

scripture of Hart’s, Job 34:30. In all their years of search-

ing for ghosts, the Connecti-cut Ghost Hunters have gathered only a few pieces of evidence they think might demonstrate the existence of something paranormal, de-spite many personal experi-ences. “It’s almost impossible to capture a spirit on film,” Sherman said, even one that she can otherwise perceive.

One of the group’s best pieces of evidence was an award-winning EVP that the audience agreed had clear audible words. Words able to be made out included a fe-male voice saying “Oh Harry,” and a male voice speaking the words “murdering each other” and “murder is funny.”

Despite the alarming words, there is nothing to fear, the ghost hunters ex-plained. Their investigation turned up information about the previous occupants of the

house, which included a man named Harry and his wife. When talking with neigh-bors at the house where the EVP was recorded, the group shared their record-ing. The neighbors said that the words sounded just like the deceased Harry’s sense of humor, and that his wife’s response – “Oh, Harry” – was also very characteristic of her.

For the Connecticut Ghost Hunters, the story behind the recording is another piece of evidence to support their theory that most supposedly malevolent spirits are simply misunderstood.

Those attendees who spoke with The Citizen were believ-ers in ghosts. They praised the group’s presentation, say-ing it was both entertaining and informative.

“It was a lot of fun,” one attendee said, praising Sher-man for being both knowl-edgeable and interesting.
