Wheeler Clinic has named Chief Operating Officer Sabrina Trocchi to be its next president and top executive in the wake of the retirement of Susan Walkama, who led the nonprofit healthcare for over 10 years.

Aside from seeing all the children give their Halloween costumes a test run, Masse said she was glad to see how much of an impact the event has on the town. “It’s obvious — that great sense of community. I’ve already bumped into so many people I know,” she said. “A lot of the families and the businesses come together to make this event special for the kids.” See Festival, A6

“Wheeler’s leaders have guided it through transformational times in health care, and Dr. Trocchi has been vital to our growth and focus on our patients,” said James Moylan, chairperson of Wheeler’s Board of Trustees. “Her deep expertise in health care systems, integrated care, evidencebased practices, addiction treatment, and more is the perfect fit for a visionary organization like Wheeler that is always looking to community priorities today, and the future of health care tomorrow.”

Editor :

Deborah Tompkins has been a friend for over 15 years. We don’t always agree, but I can count on her to be there when I need her.

Crystal St. Lawrence possesses the high level of clear thinking, commitment, experience and dedication required of an effective BOE member. She approaches issues by listening to everyone involved and carefully considering what the effect will be on students, teachers, the district and our citizens.

am very pleased to support her re-election to a third term. She is a serious, hardworking member of the Town Council who will always put the town first. She is dedicated to making Plainville a great place to live.

The same can be said about town councilor Deborah Tompkins. In her six years on the Town Council Deb has been there for the people of Plainville. She takes her responsibilities on the council seriously; always looking to balance the needs of the community with the taxpayers’ ability to pay. Last year, Deb received the support of her fellow council members to serve as vicechair.

Outside of the BOE, Crystal is a tireless volunteer in our schools and community.

We need elected officials who are dedicated to our town, and her dedication is evidenced by her actions.

Please support Crystal and the Democratic Board of EdI encourage the voters of ucation candidates Foster White, Brent Davenport and Plainville to vote Nov. 5 and to reelect Deborah Tompkins. Rebecca Martinez on Nov. 5. Arthur Screen Plainville

FROM THE TOWN COUNCIL

It’s an opportune time to finance road work

On Tuesday, Nov. 5, Plainville residents will have the opportunity to vote whether to “appropriate $5M for Phase II Road & Related Improvements Program and to authorize the issue of Bonds and notes in the same amount.” We encourage all residents to vote “yes” for this appropriation. If approved, this appropriation would allow for the repaving of approximately 100 streets throughout Plainville over the next five years. These streets have not been paved in over 25 years.

Maintaining the town’s infrastructure is a priority for any municipality. The town will issue 20-year bonds and notes to cover the cost of this project. Because there are bonds that will be paid off shortly, the new bonds will not increase the debt service line item going forward.

Please vote on Nov. 5, and please vote “yes” on the referendum question. Polls will be open from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. Polling locations are:

This is an opportune time to finance these improvements without significantly impacting the taxes going forward. This project will also help to maintain property values.

Guilty plea in fatal Enfield crash By Jesse Buchanan Record-Journal staff

SOUTHINGTON — The driver responsible for a crash that killed three teens last year pleaded guilty under a deal that reduces his possible jail time, but has angered mothers of the crash victims.

Christopher Vega, of Plainville, was driving back from a party at Keene State College in New Hampshire last January with three friends in the car. Vega swerved off Interstate 91 in Enfield and hit a tree, killing Kerion Rogers, 19, of Bristol, Moses Negron, 17, of New

Vega was originally charged with a felony for each of the victims. Those charges were downgraded to negligent homicide and Vega pleaded guilty on Friday, Oct. 11. Deborah Garner, mother of Harris, and Romonda Rogers, mother of Kerion Rogers, were told by prosecutors that Vega will likely get six months in prison. “What you try not to do is equate that with the value of human life,” Garner said Wednesday, Oct. 16. “We are really having a hard time processing this.”

Kris Dargenio, an organizer who began the festival five years ago, estimated the event draws between 3,000 and 4,000 people to downtown. The festival took place along east and west Main between Crown and Pierce street and extending down Whiting to the intersection with Maple. The proceeds from the night go towards the Plainville Community Fund, an endowment from the Main Street Foundation that funds projects throughout town. Last year the festival’s contribution — which in large part comes from donations from local businesses that are honored by having their names carved into the gourds

A release announcing Walkama’s retirement, which is effective Nov. 1, said she grew Wheeler from a “community-based provider of behavioral health services to a statewide, innovative leader in fully integrated health care and a federally qualified community health center.” Christine Skelly, the outgoing chairperson of Wheeler’s Board of Trustees, led the search for Walkama’s replacement over the summer. She said it was a difficult process to find new executive who can accomplish as much as Walkama had over her 40 years with Wheeler.

Jeff Loureiro, who served as the Board of Trustees’ chairperson when Walkama was selected to lead Wheeler in 2008, wrote she quickly proved herself to be the

“Susan is a visionary leader who dedicated her career to ensuring access to effective, high-quality communitybased services for Connecticut’s most vulnerable citizens. She has a deep understanding of community systems and personal commitment to eliminating disparities in health care.

“The decision she made with respect to the direction the clinic would take once the Affordable Care Act became law was bold and risky and, in hindsight, obviously the correct choice,” he said. “I very much enjoyed serving on the Board with Susan leading the way!”

The mothers of all three teens killed in the crash were present in Enfield Superior Court Friday. Garner heard “horrific” details of the crash read aloud in court that she hadn’t known, including that her

son was thrown 150 feet from the car after it hit a tree. According to a State Police affidavit, Vega’s car broke in two upon hitting the tree. One portion of the car came to rest nearly 200 feet from the tree. Vega told paramedics that he thinks he fell asleep. The group had stopped at a rest area a few hours earlier and got back on the road around 7 a.m. State Police said Vega had been awake for 24 hours before the crash. Blood tests showed no drugs or alcohol in Vega at the time of the crash.

From A6

To celebrate the fifth year of the festival, more food trucks and vendors lined the streets than ever, The Degenerates, a local band, returned to perform, and a contest was held for the best jack-o-lanterns. What really gets the festival started each year, though, is the parade of costumed children marching from the Parks and Recreation building on Whiting Street to the library. As

the procession passed the band stage, Michael Jackson’s Thriller and the Monster Mash by Bobby Pickett played through the speakers — spurring parents to urge their kids to shuffle along like zombies. While there were many ghastly costumes in the parade, the loudest screams emanated from the Frederick-Franklin Masonic Lodge. Transformed into a haunted house complete with fog machines and garish red and blue lights, the undead rose from coffins and chainwielding clowns skulked in the corners of the lodge.

sunlight after surviving the haunted house, Nicole Guerra said she was surprised by how scary the monsters were. “They did a really great job in there. Maybe a bit scary for them,” she said, as her daughters recovered from the frights. The candy was more than enough to make up for getting a bit scared though and Guerra said she was glad to be able to have a night out with her family. “It was something fun to do with the littles, another reason to wear their Halloween costumes.”
