Voters OK town, school budgets
Opponents of a bill to repeal Connecticut's religious exemption for required school vaccinations march down Capitol Avenue in Hartford Tuesday, April 27 before the State Senate passed the legislation.
By Devin Leith-Yessian Record-Journal staff
Plainville voters approved a nearly $1 million spending increase for the town government and school system, though officials believe they can stave off a tax hike by using reserve funds.
Mark Mirko/Hartford Courant via AP
The $23.6 million municipal budget for the next fiscal year was approved Tuesday, April 27 by 377 voters, with 90 ballots cast in opposition, while the $39.8 million Board of Education budget received 359 votes in favor and 106 votes against. According to the town clerk’s office, only 4 percent of registered voters cast a ballot, which is less than usual. Town Council Chairperson Katherine Pugliese said she feels the results show voters think the budget successfully balances maintaining services and keeping spending down. “We are in great shape. Plainville is in a good spot in terms of what we can do next year and again we’re very, very cognizant of the pressure Plainville and other towns face,” she said. Much of the $957,761 spending increase is offset by the use of the unassigned fund balance, effectively the town’s savings account.
Martin: No ‘adequate rationale’ for religious exemption bill Connecticut will no longer allow a religious exemption from childhood immunization requirements for schools, colleges and day care facilities, becoming the sixth state to end that policy. The legislation was signed into law Wednesday, April 28 by Gov. Ned Lamont, hours after the Democratic-controlled Senate passed the bill late Tuesday, April 27.
“Proud to sign this bill into law to protect as many of our school children as possible from infectious diseases as we can,” Lamont stated. Republican Senator Henri Martin, who represents Bristol, Harwinton, Plainville, Plymouth and Thomaston, spoke in opposition to the bill, HB 6423, and shared the following statement after casting his no vote: See Bill, A14
Though spending will be increasing, Town Manager Robert Lee believes the town will avoid a mill rate increase and keep taxes flat for residents for a second consecutive year. Along with the use of the unassigned fund balance, he’s anticipating that the town’s allotment of state education grants could increase by $200,000.
District selects two new principals
“I think it’s pretty safe to say we’re probably going to get that additional $200,000,” Lee said.
Atterrato will replace current Toffolon Principal Lynn Logoyke, who will retire in June.
See Budgets, A21
Alicia Atterrato, currently Elementary Math and Science Instructional Leader for Plainville Community Schools, has been named the next principal of Louis Toffolon Elementary School, and Middle School of Plainville Assis-
tant Principal Aimee Roberts has been named the next principal of the Middle School of Plainville.
Roberts will take over for Matthew Guarino, who also will retire at the end of this school year. Atterrato and Roberts begin their new roles July 1. See Principals, A5

PHS Hall of Fame: TJ Ferguson
The induction ceremony and dinner will be held Saturday, Nov. 20 at Hawk’s Landing in Southington. Tickets may be purchased at Modern Barbershop (Angelo’s), Gnazzo’s and The Central Connecticut Dental Group (Dr. Rusty Camp). For additional ticket information, visit plainvillesports.com or find the Hall of Fame on Facebook. In the coming weeks, The Citizen will feature the Hall of Fame-worthy accomplishments of the Class of 2021.
Thomas “TJ” Ferguson TJ Ferguson was a dedicated and tireless swimmer and diver whose incredible work habits led to him setting school records and earning All-State status.
While competing at the 2001 State Open, Ferguson’s time of 1:02.90 in the breaststroke broke the school record and his score of 301.35 in diving set the PHS standard which stands to this day. Ferguson was a multi-year all-conference performer in both swimming and diving, and was a four-time Northwest Conference All-Academic honoree. Amazingly, Ferguson only began diving his junior year. He practiced twice a day, swimming during the afternoons in Plainville and diving at night at Wesleyan University in Middletown. His commitment to diving led to him achieving the perfect score of 10 on one of his final high school dives. After graduating in 2001, Ferguson joined the prestigious Fort Lauderdale Hall of Fame U.S.A. diving team and accepted an athletic scholarship to NCAA Division I school North Carolina State University. During Ferguson’s collegiate career he competed in the one- and three-meter springboard events and dove platform as well.
Ferguson
After two years at N.C. State, Ferguson transferred to the University of Connecticut, where he established a new school record in three-meter springboard diving.

COVID-19 VACCINE
ASK THE EXPERT
Why is there a waiting period between the two shots? Is the window to get the second shot flexible? The waiting period between the two vaccines is a well-thoughtout scientific process based on historical research and the time it takes for the immune system to respond after receiving the first dose.
The first dose of the mRNA COVID-19 vaccine is called the ‘primer dose,’ which wakes up the body’s immune system and recruits the appropriate immune cells (antibodies, T cells, macrophages, etc.). These are the soldiers that respond to an invader or enemy in your body. Just like the training process of soldiers, which takes time, the process in humans and non-human primates takes about 2-3 weeks.
The second dose of the vaccine called the ‘booster dose,’ is then given at 3 weeks for the Pfizer vaccine and 4 weeks for the Moderna vaccine. This will boost the levels of immune cells for optimal protection against future exposure to SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. After another two weeks of the booster dose, the ‘immune soldiers’ will be well trained to win the battle against the virus. The second dose should preferably be given as stated above (3 weeks for Pfizer and 4 weeks for Moderna), but if it is not possible to adhere to the recommended interval, giving the second dose 4 days earlier or up to 6 weeks (42 days) after the first dose is still acceptable according to the CDC. Henry Anyimadu, MD Infectious Disease Specialist
¿Por qué hay que esperar cierta cantidad de tiempo entre las vacunas? ¿Es flexible la ventanilla de oportunidad para recibir la segunda vacuna? El periodo de espera entre las dos vacunas es un proceso científico cuidadosamente calculado basado en investigación histórica y el tiempo que le toma al sistema inmunológico en responder después de recibir la primera dosis.

las células inmunes apropiadas (anticuerpos, células T, macrófago, etc.). Estos son los soldados que responden a un invasor o enemigo en su cuerpo. Igual al proceso de entrenamiento de los soldados, el cual toma tiempo, el proceso en humanos y primates no humanos toma alrededor de 2-3 semanas. La segunda dosis de la vacuna llamada la ‘dosis de refuerzo,’ se da a las 3 semanas para la vacuna de Pfizer y a las 4 semanas para la vacuna de Moderna. Esto estimulará los niveles de células inmunes para protección óptima contra exposición futura al SARS-CoV-2, el virus que causa el COVID-19. Dos semanas después de la dosis de refuerzo, los ‘soldados de inmunidad’ están bien entrenados para ganar la batalla contra el virus.
La segunda dosis preferiblemente se debe administrar La primera dosis como se indicó anteriormente (3 semanas para Pfizer y 4 semade la vacuna nas para Moderna), pero si no es ARN mensaposible cumplir con el intervalo jero contra el recomendado, el dar la segunCOVID-19 se llama la ‘prime- da dosis 4 días antes o hasta 6 ra dosis,’ la cual semanas (42 días) después de la primera dosis es aceptable de despierta el sistema inmu- acuerdo al CDC.

Principals
of two Plainville leadership legends.”
From A1
Atterrato was named the candidate of choice for the Toffolon principal position at a special Board of Education meeting held April 21. Roberts was named the candidate of choice for the Middle School of Plainville principal position at a special BOE meeting held April 26.
“With two internal candidate outcomes, some might ask why we would go through such a time-consuming, extensive and comprehensive internal and external search and interview process for hiring our two new school principals,” said Superintendent of Schools Steven LePage. “The answer is simple; we wanted to ensure that our selections took all options into account. This process gave us a chance to see who was in the mix and we were able to look at who would be the best skilled and best fit principals for our district. We were also able to consider all stakeholders’ voice in the process, whether through surveys or in-person interview opportunities. “Ultimately, in the end, we had to be sure we considered all options and made the very best choice for Toffolon and MSP, as we went about filling the large shoes
Alicia Atterrato
“The Board of Education and I are very confident in our final selections,” said LePage. “These wonderful people, and leaders, will lead the next generation of Plainville staff and learners through the challenges and opportunities ahead, and I look forward to witnessing and supporting their growth as principals. On behalf of our students, staff and families, I sincerely congratulate Aimee Roberts and Alicia Atterrato on their well-earned appointments.”

Atterrato has been an educator in the Plainville school district since 2006, first serving as an eleAtterrato mentary school faculty member at Toffolon school. She also served as a Literacy and Math Resource Teacher at Linden Street School and as a District Math and Science Resource Teacher.

May is National Foster Care Month May is National Foster Care Month, a time to consider the many children and youth in need of loving homes and the professionals dedicated to finding foster families. “An observance like National Foster Care Month is an opportunity to start the conversation about foster care, but more importantly, to consider what we can do year round to find foster homes, as well as serve children and youth already in care, and support foster families,” said Sharon Pendleton-Ponzani, LCSW, director, Wheeler Foster Care Services. In Connecticut, on any given day, there are nearly 4,000 children and youth in foster care, and there are nearly 600 youth in need of loving foster homes. Most are over the age of 13.

after incarceration. Once a person has served their time, we should be ensuring they have the tools to succeed and become productive members of society. Denying access to safety net programs only puts needless obstacles in their path. I am pleased to work with Representatives Cohen, Moore, and Watson Coleman on this
crucial legislation ensuring formerly incarcerated Americans have a fair chance at success and self-sufficiency,” said Hayes. Many of the 600,000 people released from our federal prisons each year find serious challenges when they reenter their communities, including restrictions or lifetime bans on food assistance under SNAP and TANF. Most states have opted to alter or remove such bans, but lingering barriers continue to hinder returning citizens and expose them to higher risks of recidivism. To fix this problem, the MEAL Act would lift SNAP and TANF restrictions for people with prior felony drug convictions. In addition, the bill would codify the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) waiver that allows prisoners to apply for SNAP and TANF up to 30 days before they are released, ensuring that they will be able to meet their basic needs as soon as they reenter society. — Press Release

Thanks to NASCAR racing star Joey Logano, the Silver City Quarter Midget Club racetrack in Meriden, pictured above, has been resurfaced. It’s the first such work done on the track since 1975. Logano, who grew up racing quarter midgets at Silver City, funded the work done by LaRosa Construction Co., Inc., of Meriden, which charged a reduced rate. LaRosa also installed an underground conduit for the site’s utility lines. TilconConnecticut of New Britain and L. Suzio York Hill donated tons of asphalt for the project and Manafort Brothers Inc. of Plainville donated the re-milling of the track’s asphalt. Dave Zajac, Record-Journal
Bill From A1
"Personal choice and a parent's right to choose for their family are of paramount importance and even through the hours of debate today, there was never an adequate rationale presented as to why this policy change is needed and much less as to why it is needed now.
R236809v1

"While the government does have the right to step in when it comes to matters of protecting public safety, the data that I have seen does not indicate that we are actually in an emergency situation at present. A child's education is not worth jeopardizing nor is infringing on parent's rights if there is not a considerable improvement generated by this policy change.
State Sen. Henri Martin speaks in opposition to House Bill 6423.
"It is my hope that in the future that this legislative body will properly consider if the benefits of the measures they propose are actually worth the peripheral ramifications they may cause.” Plainville’s other voice in Hartford, Republican Representative William Petit, voted in favor of the bill. Under the new law, which applies to public and private schools, higher education, day care and child care cen-
ters, any students in kindergarten and older with an existing religious exemption will be grandfathered. Also, the state’s medical exemption will remain in place. Proponents have argued that eliminating the exemption will help prevent potential outbreaks of illnesses like measles. But critics argue the bill is discriminatory, and unnecessary, given the state’s overall high vaccination rate.

PLAINVILLE- It is with a heavy heart that we announce the unexpected and sudden passing of Randall Lee “Randy” LaBelle, loving father and grandfather, 71, of Plainville. Randy passed away in the comfort of his home on Saturday, April 24, 2021 with family by his side. Randy was born on October 28, 1949 in Saint Albans, Vermont, son to the late Francis N. and Shirley J. (Brown) LaBelle. He was a longtime resident of Plainville and worked as an autobody technician alongside his son, Ryan. Randy found his passion in autobody work as he enjoyed tinkering with cars and he was an extremely hard, dedicated worker. If you left it up to Randy, he would work all day, every day. Randy was a fan of Tom Brady, supporting the Patriots and his most recent endeavors with Tampa Bay. He enjoyed watching the races and playing a good round of pool. In his former years, he was a motorcycle enthusiast and was a bit disappointed when he could no longer ride, but maintained adoration for motorcycles. Randy was a selfless man, with a heart of gold. He made sure to provide for his family and would never say no or turn his back on them if they needed anything. Randy, a devoted and loving father, grandfather and friend, will be missed deeply by all that knew him as they cherish their memories with Randy in their hearts. To mourn his loss,

If the additional funding money does come through, the mill rate would increase by 0.09 mills, in which case he believes the Town Council would move to use other revenue to shore up the difference and keep the rate at its current 34.62 mills.
“This town has a great school system and anything we can do to support education and the kids in town, I am for,” he said. Though she feels the municipal side of the budget is fair, Chris Rich said she’s concerned that the education budget continues to rise every year. “We always feel the education part is too high,” she said. “ … every year it goes up, up, up.”
Pugliese said the Town Council will likely vote to adopt a mill rate at its May 17 meeting. After casting his ballot, Jason
