Robertson Field will be fully repaved soonCommentary
By Ruth Sharp HummelSpecial to The Citizen
On a bitterly cold after-noon, Dec. 1, Brian O’Learytook me out in the “gator” tosee all the almost completedwork on the runway atRobertson Airport.
I had been watching theprogress of this project sinceit started and now would seethe results of all those weeksof trucks, tankers, asphaltand an army of workers.
Mizzy Construction withsub-contractors Tilcon Con-necticut and O’Brien Associ-ates had made a well-coordi-nated team. From my pointof view at least everythinglooked great.
From the south end of therunway, looking north, it’s along, long stretch of blockwith bright yellow striping.Off to the side are the termi-nal buildings and hangersnow bereft of the planes thatmake the place alive. Many
are tied down in Meriden,hopefully to return when thefield re-opens.
Turning to the south, offthe end of the runway, onecan see the Tomasso NaturePark along with (if you arelucky) some of the creatureswhich live there.
Plainville Aviation Com-mission oversees the airportand Bill O’Leary and his fam-ily operate it for the town as“Interstate Aviation”.
You might say they are pro-tecting the legacy of NelsNelson, first to fly in thatarea, and Stan Robertson,who took the dream andmade it soar.
As I looked out over thenicely improved field, I keptthinking of Nels and Stan,what a change has been madesince 1911.
They would be astoundedhow we have come to thismodern field from the dirtstrip that Stan created and
even earlier the farmer’sfield from where Nels man-aged his first flight.
Today, once things are set-tled down at Robetson, jetplanes can rush you towarmer climes in the winterand cooler spots in the sum-mer.
These great planes wouldhave astounded Nels andStan beautiful air vehiclesthat they are.
Bill O’Leary and familywill arrange everything foryour flight right there in theoffice. I envy the pilots whofly these “birds”, wish I couldstow-away.
I have spent many lunchhours at the airport watch-
ing the progress and one day,over the roar of trucks andother machines, I heard avery familiar sound, CanadaGeese. Sure enough, 38 bigbreasted beauties headed -you guessed it – south. As Iwatched the last bird on oneof the wings of the “V” for-mation flew up and replacedthe lead bird which has thetoughest job; beauty on thewing, no engines.
By the way, there’s plentyof room along the fence,bring your lunch and joinothers, kids love it.
Back to my trips with Bri-an O’Leary. A man was way

Letters to the EditorGood work
To the editor:This past week I attended
a joint budget hearing inwhich both our town manag-er and superintendent ofschools presented theirplans, projects and the possi-ble impact they would haveon the town’s budget andtaxes for the upcoming year.
They presented plans andprojects I agreed need atten-tion and funding as well asplans and projects that I donot, but as I left at the con-clusion of the meeting some-thing more significant cameto mind. It was the feelingthat both our town managerand school superintendentwere working as a team.
I then immediatelythought of our Town Coun-cil and Board of Educationand what they are quietly
doing for Plainville.Whether it be addressing theneeds of our schools or up-dating the town’s airfield,the groups are working to-gether. I remember not toolong ago a letter sent to “ThePlainville Citizen” titled “ATown Divided”. It appearsthat our two governing bod-ies are doing their best toeliminate that divide.
I cannot say that I willagree and vote for all thewants and needs that ourtown government andschool board may propose,but this I will say, this group,our Town Council, Board ofEducation, Town Managerand Superintendent ofSchools are attempting towork together with one goalin mind, a better town ofPlainville.

Vigil a prayerful reminder that we can do betterBy Maura Gaffney
The Plainville Citizen
A candlelight vigil inmemory of the souls lost inNewtown was held on Dec. 19at the Plainville Fire Compa-ny.
Residents came together tolight candles, to sing, to prayand to stand in support of theNewtown community.Prayers and words of com-fort were offered by firemanJim Lenois, Sr. and by firecompany chaplains, Rev.Elvin Clayton and Rev. Dr.Jim Caron.
Clayton looked to thepsalms for words of solaceand hope quoting Psalm27:13-14. “I had fainted, un-less I had believed to see thegoodness of the Lord in theland of the living. Wait onthe Lord: be of good courage,and he shall strengthen thineheart: wait, I say, on theLord.”
“I’ve been looking forgoodness. It’s hard to findgoodness in the midst ofsuch horrific circum-stances,” Clayton said. “Buteven in such a dark andpainful incident, there waslight.
He recounted the scene ofall the policemen, firemenand first responders whocame to the aid and comfortof those in Sandy Hook Ele-mentary and of the teacherswho did everything theycould to protect the children.
“There were many thingsthat brought goodness tolight there,” he said. “So on
this night, I think about thewords ‘Be of good courageand wait on the Lord’. Godwill bring strength and com-fort and healing, not only tothose in Newtown, but tothose in every town acrossAmerica and across theworld.”
Rev. Jim Caron also con-veyed his hope that peoplewill turn to God and will prayfor the victims and theirloved ones. Caron lamentedthe fact that since 1963, Godand prayer have been effec-tively removed from schoolsand public places in Ameri-ca, and yet now many ask thequestion, ‘Where was Godwhen all of this happened?’
“What we did was we gotrid of God who is light, andlight can only be replacedwith darkness and violence.When you get rid of God whois love, it can only breed ha-tred,” he said. “I encourageyou to turn your hearts backto God. For too long, we’velived in a society where theonly time we hear the nameof God is when somebodycurses him or when some-body swears. I encourage youto put God back in yourhomes. I would even chal-lenge you that maybe it’stime we put God back in ourschools. We’ve gotten rid ofhim and our land has reapedviolence. I believe it’s time tostop, and it needs to beginwith us. Please, spend timewith your families. They areso important. Love them.Love each other, because theBible does say, ‘God is love.’”

Radiologistreceives award
Hospital of Central Con-necticut, NewBritain, radi-ologist JeanWeigert, M.D.,recently re-ceived theChampion ofExposing theSecret Awardfrom Are YouDense, Inc.
The award was presentedat the Are You Dense Mu-sicFest held at QuassyAmusement Park in Middle-
bury. It recognizes Weigert’sresearch of breast ultra-sound screenings for womenwhose mammograms indi-cate dense breasts.
Her study findings indi-cate a potentially increasedability to diagnose breastcancers that might not havebeen seen on screeningmammograms alone. Thestudy was prompted by astate law that requires breastdensity information be in-cluded in mammography re-ports. An article she co-au-thored about study findingswill appear in an upcomingissue of The Breast Journal.
Weigert also led a study on
multicenter breast-specificgamma imaging, which candistinguish non-cancerousor benign tissue from cancerand locate lesions as small astwo to three millimeters.Weigert was a primary au-thor for an article related tothis published in AmericanJournal of Radiology. Thearticle discusses BSGI’s val-ue as an additional test forpatients with inconclusivemammogram or ultrasoundresults.
Are You Dense, Inc. in-forms about dense breast tis-sue as it relates to breast can-cer’s early detection.
