PHS seniors earn praise, ‘Students Rock’ recognition

Sports governing body drops ‘risk’ categories

Plainville High School’s Tianna Durham and Benjamin Royce are the recipients of the first semester Students Rock Award recognizing their outstanding contributions to PHS.

CHESHIRE — The label of “high risk” is off the national high school sports table. So is “moderate risk.” So is “low.”

“The Students Rock Award is one of the most prestigious and, in my opinion, best awards a student can earn at PHS. It recognizes the impact these students have had on our school culture. Both of the students honored this semester embody what we hope for from all of our Blue Devils at PHS,” Plainville High School Principal Carl Johnson said. Durham, a senior, was nominated by Plainville High School staff members Stephanie Aresco, Rachel Posner, Lori Johnson and Emily Wasley.

After more than four decades on the job, Wheeler Elementary School custodian John Procko, pictured, has retired. In recognition of his 43 years of service to the school, on Friday, Feb. 5 – his final day of work – Wheeler teachers and staff pulled together a car parade which rolled by Procko’s Woodside Lane home. “This was really something,” Procko told The Hartford Courant. “They didn’t have to do this. I’m just a guy who went to work every day.”

“Tianna Durham is such an exceptional young lady! I’ve had the honor of having Tianna in class this year in our Developmental Child Psychology course and what a great addition she has made!,” Aresco stated in her nomination. “She is consistently engaged, excited, and truly hungry to learn. She has exemplified what it means to be a kind and caring friend to her peers and always works her hardest on every assignment she is given. She is beyond deserving of this award!” Royce, also a senior, was nominated by PHS staff members Steven Michaud, TJ Riccardo, Jill Miller, Kerry Patterson and Jenn Jambard. “Ben’s consistency in the classroom is most impressive. He is really interested in the learning process and becoming a better student. He has the desire to improve himself and the ability to achieve whatever goal to which he puts forth effort,” Michaud stated in his nomination. See Rock, A13

By Bryant Carpenter Record-Journal staff

The categories that have been used to gauge the risk of COVID-19 spread among high school sports — and shaped decisions on which sports would play and not play — have been abandoned by the National Federation of State High School Associations. The NFHS, which oversees high school sports associations across the country, including the CIAC, announced Tuesday, Feb. 2 that its Sports Medicine Advisory Committee has revised the COVID-19 guidance that has been in place since last May. It’s been replaced it with a new “Statement on Risk of COVID-19 During High School Sports.” The move was prompted by greater understanding of COVID-19, including growing evidence, according to the NFHS, that the majority of sports-related spread of

the disease appears to occur from social contact, and not during sports participation. “As knowledge of the virus that causes COVID-19 has evolved, we have increasingly recognized that transmission depends upon multiple factors that cannot be easily accounted for by simply dividing sports into three distinct categories of risk,” the NFHS reported in its release. The three “risk” divisions have been replaced by five “factors” the NFHS advises member associations to consider when evaluating what sports to play, and how to play them, during the pandemic. n Community infection rates appear to be the strongest predictor for high school athletes being infected; n Proven

cases of direct COVID-19 transmission during athletics remain relatively rare; See NFHS, A16

The classic utility scam typically involves a caller threatening to disconnect a customer’s electric or gas service because of an unpaid bill and demanding immediate payment. In the case of a Plainville-based company, scammers posing as Eversource have continued to target them – threatening to shut off power unless an immediate payment was made.

Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, scammers have increased their calls, texts, emails, and in-person visits to convince people to make payments to avoid service disconnection. Scammers are opportunists – often targeting the most vulnerable, including senior citizens and low-income communities. They also create panic for business owners and even major manufacturers, threatening to disrupt their most critical hours of operation. The energy company offers the following tips to help avoid becoming a victim: See Scams, A3

In addition to scams like the one targeted at Northeast Garage Door Systems, Eversource is warning customers about new techniques being employed to steal customers’ money. Some of the energy company’s customers have reported receiving a call from someone claiming to be from Eversource and using a real employee’s name offering a discount on their electric bill.

“Scammers are constantly changing their tactics to take advantage of unsuspecting customers, and that’s why we’re always working to raise awareness,” said Eversource Senior Vice President and Chief Customer Officer Penni Conner. “Northeast Garage Door Systems did exactly what we always advise our customers to do if they receive a phone call, email or visit that doesn’t feel right – don’t panic and don’t pay. We will never threaten to disconnect your service or demand instant payment.”

“We get scam calls all the time. Last month alone we got multiple calls threatening to disconnect our power,” said Kim Masse of Northeast Garage Door Systems, LLC. “They have been robocalls telling us to ‘press 1 to pay.’ I went online to insure my Eversource bill was correct and I contacted a company representative. I even called the robocall number back and got a recording that it was an unworkable number. I hope my story helps other businesses identify the red flags so they can avoid falling victim to these scammers.”

Others have reported receiving an email that contains the Eversource logo. These are new deceptive tactics scammers are using to steal someone’s money and sensitive personal information.

The best ax wielding technique? It’s a split decision By Joy VanderLek Special to The Citizen

ters. Records from the early 1940s earn Falls Village the top spot in the freezer secThe coldest winter weather tion with a reading of minus showed up the last few days 32. Yet, on the last weekend of January. Stepping outside of January 2021, residents for even a moment without a woke up to temperatures in hat, mittens and proper the low teens after single clothing and the wind digits overnight – a frigid went right through you. Still, plunge that encouraged so far, the season has not many to turn to their woodbeen as cold as some winstoves and fireplaces.

This begs the question: do you chop your own firewood? Then there’s the bigger question: are you a traditionalist and do you cut your firewood with an ax? Cutting firewood seems to be a skill generally passed down within families, from one generation to the next. Cheshire resident Troy Fowler, 17, has been cutting firewood at the block this winter, learning from his father, David. “My son and I like to swing an ax, and yes to the sledgehammer and wedge for the big pieces. Love the sound and feel of a clean split,” said the elder Fowler. “When I was a kid, my dad split the wood and I stacked the wood. I don’t remember a particular lesson, but by watching, I learned.” Those who do cut their own firewood each seem to have their own way of doing it. They readily offer tips and

techniques that serve them well. “I highly recommend a splitting ax rather than a maul,” said Cheshire’s Steve Nadeau. “Fiskars makes a great one at a very reasonable price. I split several cords a year by hand.” Safety is of the utmost importance and it extends to the movement of firewood. This is because of the emerald ash borer. This insect has decimated ash trees throughout the state, due in part from distribution of wood products: packaging, firewood, nursery stock and firewood. To help keep EAB in check, there are regulations to govern transport of firewood instate and across state lines. It is suggested you use firewood at its point of origin, where you cut it. To learn how to cut firewood, online tutorials abound. A piece on “How to Split Firewood,” from “The

Art of Manliness” advises using seasoned wood when possible, and not to attempt it when there are possibly nails in the wood or if the wood has knots or the piece is curvy. It also suggests putting the log on a chopping block. More advice, including choosing the proper ax and the care and cleaning of the tool can be found online at awesomeaxs.com. Benefits to chopping your own firewood are many. It’s less expensive than buying bundles or having cords delivered. It is useful for cleaning up fallen trees and debris on your property. It’s great exercise and it is an enjoyable way to spend time outdoors. And one local resident, who asked to go unnamed, said cutting firewood is therapy. “It’s a great way to get your frustrations out. I name each piece I hit,” he said.

A long-anticipated LongHorn Steakhouse is slated to open on West Street later this month.

The steakhouse was originally set to open in the spring of 2020, but construction was delayed by the pandemic, according to property owner Joseph Moruzzi. The restaurant also needed more time to find employees and wanted to wait for better economic conditions.

“LongHorn Steakhouse will soon open a new restaurant in Southington on Tuesday, Feb. 23,” Communications Manager Brittany Baron said in an announcement of the opening. Located at 1020 West St., the newly constructed restaurant can seat up to 274 patrons, though it is currently

Once a semester, teachers nominate and then vote for one male and one female student they believe are worthy of this award. The students are honored, along with their family members and guests, at a staff meeting where they are awarded a book and presented the Students Rock plaque where their names are engraved. The plaque, which is displayed in the school’s awards showcase, reads: “awarded to students who assume responsibility for their positive contributions

The Students Rock Award was established in 2010 as a way to honor students who “do the right thing” every day without looking for acknowledgement.

PHS faculty member and Students Rock program cocoordinator Eileen Hebert said, “I feel privileged to help carry on the legacy of the Students Rock program that was started by Maria Colangelo, now a retired faculty member.

“A great example of this trait could be seen in his progress in my Accounting class this year,” Michaud continued. “He is always fully participating in all of our class activities, whether it is taking class notes, answering a lecture question, or working on a problem. Ben can always be counted on to be on time, on task, and ready to learn. He is also highly respected by both the faculty and his peers. His positive energy and pleasant personality make him an easy choice for the Student Rocks Award at Plainville High School.

Nestled between Interstate 84, hotels, offices and residential neighborhoods, he said the restaurant will benefit from being in a high traffic area. Moruzzi also owns one of the three nearby office building, 200 Executive Blvd. South, and worked with the town to carve out a portion of the property for a restaurant with frontage on West Street so that his tenants’ employees have a nearby lunch option. Baron’s announcement said the restaurant will bring an estimated 60 jobs and will participate in the company’s

“It provides opportunities for our residents for a different type of dining, and for people who are traveling it's a great opportunity for people who are traveling to stop in and see what Southington has to offer,” he said.

The transformation of the three office buildings centered around Executive Boulevard South fits right into the town’s strategy to encourage a diversified tax base of small businesses, Perillo said.
