The Devil's Pitch ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Devil’s Pitch ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Plainville, Connecticut— Spring 2020 _______________________________________________________________________________________ A Terrific and Terrifying Night at PHS Written by: Bridget Arena On March 6th and 8th of 2020, Thomas Riccardo, Plainville High School social studies teacher, directed “The Haunted Cabin,” with his students playing the roles. Before the show began, Riccardo spoke to the audience, giving a backstory to the theater and tech clubs at PHS. “Our kids build this and do it themselves,” Riccardo said about the stage and setting. The students put emotion into the play and into the characters. Before directing this play, Riccardo stated that he didn’t like the story, but after seeing his students take on the roles, he started to enjoy it. One of his head actors, Travis Lavigne, spoke on Riccardo’s directing, “He would put us on stage, and we would run through the scene doing whatever we wanted. If something looked off or he didn't like the outcome, he would stop us and we would go back and try it again. I personally really liked this approach. When we were all in character and on stage we were just having fun and doing what we thought was best. It really gave us the ability to make the show ‘ours’ and put our own personalities into every aspect.” The story begins with a nurse named Emily Davies, played by Abigail Feyerbend, entering a cabin called “Rogan’s Cabin.” Legend tells that this cabin is haunted by the victims of the mountain. As Emily is searching the building, Joe, played by Travis Lavigne, and Danny, played by Daniel Pryzbyz, enter the cabin. The storyline takes off with the suspense of wondering if these characters, along with new ones that find the cabin as well, will eventually get rescued or die on the mountain. This tragic and emotional setting reflected on the character’s actions. Lavigne played a very big role where he would have scenes full of screaming and crying. When asked how comfortable he was with a role like that, he said, “It was rather difficult at times. One of the things that we worked on in the rehearsal process was, "Method Acting." This is when you think about a past experience where you felt an emotion, like happy or sad, and then tried to call back on that emotion in the present. This process was difficult for the cast physically and emotionally. We couldn't go too deep into one memory where we would start crying uncontrollably, but we still needed to make sure we got the effect that we wanted on stage.” The Plainville High School Theater and Tech clubs put on plays every school year. After interviewing Lavigne, he wanted to share this final thought, “I have been doing theater at Plainville High School since my freshman year. I have been in almost every production since then, and have met dozens of people through the program. I am proud of this show, and am glad that I got to end the year with a banger.” College Experience as a High School Student By: Milena Baltyn Plainville High School and Central Connecticut State University in New Britain have established a partnership agreement that gives Plainville High School students the opportunity to take up to two courses per semester, or four per academic year, to earn university credit if the student earns a grade of “C” or higher, free of charge. This opportunity is not for all students. Students must be eligible as full-time high school students in order to be part-time college students as well. Mrs. Lamont, guidance counselor at Plainville High Schools says, “Juniors and seniors are only allowed to enroll in college classes, they need to have an overall ‘B’ average, students must maintain a full schedule at Plainville High School, and be responsible for their own transportation.” Students need to consider both the rigor and the time constraints of their high school schedules and evening college courses because it can be challenging and can interfere with their high school schedule. Lamont also mentions, “Most courses meet twice a week for 1 hour and 15 minutes and some classes only meet once a week for 2 hours and 30 minutes.” Peck, a PHS and CCSU student, says, “I think anyone who is eligible to take a course at CCSU should take advantage of this opportunity. It is free, you get a taste of what it is like to be a college student, and the credits you earn are transferable to other schools as well. I think it is important for my peers to be aware of this opportunity because it really is the best decision I have made in my high school years.” Other juniors and seniors were asked randomly if they knew about the partnership, and 10 out of the 15 said, “they had no idea,” and asked for more information about it. With this being said, it is important to give students the chance to take advantage of this opportunity. Plainville High School Seniors Compete for the Title of Mr. PHS By: Angela Mojica On March 26, Plainville High School will be hosting the annual Mr. PHS competition in the auditorium. Plainville High School’s class of 2020 will be participating in the competition for the title of Mr. PHS. The boys will be accompanied by their black dress girls who will be performing as well. The students have been hard at work in preparation for the show. Mikayla Wells, the event coordinator, says, “This year we have a great group of contestants, black dress girls, and hosts who have been preparing for the show for quite some time, and they are almost ready to shine on stage in just a couple of weeks.” The show will be hosted by Plainville High School’s seniors Kevin Hormoz, Vanessa Xiques, and Alexia Sirois. When asked what to expect from the hosts, Hormoz says “It will be something new and very unique this year. I don’t want to ruin the surprise but it’s going to be different from last year.” In addition, Wells says “the students have prepared an exciting and unexpected variety of talents for the audience to enjoy! We have all been working very hard to put on an extremely entertaining show that we are hoping will sell out.” The audience can look forward to seeing the talent, swimsuit, and formal parts of the show. Due to the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic, Mr. PHS is postponed indefinitely. Tickets can be bought from any of the contestants or black dress girls for $6. Tickets will also be sold at the door. All of the proceeds go towards supporting Project Graduation for the class of 2020. Message from the Class of 2020 By: Angela Mojica For the past twelve years of our lives, we have spent countless hours and days together. We have seen each other grow into the adults we are today. From learning to read to getting our licenses, we have been there to witness all of the milestones we have passed as class. From elementary school to middle school, we became an even larger group. We made new friends, went through awkward phases, and finally became teenagers together. From middle school to high school, we began to learn how to function in the real world. We began to plan for a life beyond high school. We finally became adults. In only a couple of months, we will all go our separate ways and begin our lives without each other. Sheik Mohamed says, “At the end of the day we remember where we were years back as little kids playing on the swings and sharing food during snack time. We all come from different aspects in life but we became a family under a roof, a family that we see 8 hours a week for 5 days. No matter what happens we will always remember each other.” The memories that we have made together will always stick with us. We will always remember the times we have spent together from homecoming, prom, and other school functions. Whether everyone was friends or not, our moments together will always be memorable. Bridget Arena says, “I’m extremely grateful for the years we have spent together. Even through our arguments and disagreements, we’ve made friendships that’ll last a lifetime.” To the friends we have made, to the teachers that have taught us, and to the faculty that has guided us, the class of 2020 thanks you for the memories we have made together. Here is to the next generation of lawyers, doctors, and teachers. Here is to everyone’s success and happiness outside of highschool.

  • Connecticut in the US Civil War Matthew Warshauer ’90
    CENTRAL Summer 2010 the magazine for alumni & friends of central connecticutfocus state university Connecticut in the US Civil War Matthew Warshauer ’90 The Evolving Social Landscape of Northern Ireland • Connecticut Drug Policy PRESIDENT’S CORNER We are making our final preparations for opening the new academic year at Central, and we’re looking forward to a very active and exciting year for the campus community as well as for the wider central Connecticut region. Our incoming first-year class appears to be one of our most able groups ever. On average, their high school ranking is up 2 percentile points over last year’s, making it the highest level on record. It’s good to know that, according to the Princeton Review in its latest edition of The Best Northeastern Colleges, these students will find that CCSU offers a “host” of strong academic programs, including “solid study abroad options” and “ample undergraduate research opportunities.” The Review also reports there is “a very welcoming atmosphere” and our small class sizes “make it easier to have one-to-one communications” with professors. All of these are conditions that support student success, and we’ve worked hard to develop them. In addition to our new academic programs in journalism, nursing, and civil engineering, students can become involved in our growing community engagement programs. As you may remember, the University formally adopted community engagement as one of its core elements of distinctiveness. During the coming year, I expect new opportunities to emerge for students and faculty to interact with the community beyond campus for the benefit of both the community and the students’ learning.

  • Solar on Connecticut Schools: Why Not on Yours?
    Solar on Connecticut Schools Why not on yours? The purpose of this report is to encourage you, as a member of a school board, school administrator, or member of the public, to consider putting solar on (or next to) your school. Schools with solar save money on their electric bills, reduce their greenhouse gas emissions, and provide an onsite educational opportunity for their students. As Connecticut looks to meet its ambitious goals to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, solar energy has played a significant and rapidly growing role. Across the state, schools have shown clear leadership. At last count, over 100 schools have installed sizeable solar arrays on their rooftops, parking lots and land. Yet, these 100 schools represent less than 10% of the schools in the state, so the potential for further installations of clean energy is immense Nayaug Elementary, Glastonbury, CT With their typically substantial flat roofs, large parking lots and high electricity demand, schools are excellent candidates for solar installations. As the cost of solar panels and their installation plummets, schools have been able to reduce their electricity bills, shifting funds to their primary purpose: educating our youth. In fact, school solar arrays invariably work their way into the school curriculum, providing a powerful, tangible educational tool. Other CT Schools as a Resource Our report includes a list of over 100 Connecticut schools with solar arrays larger than 60 kW. In total, these arrays represent a combined installed capacity of over 17 megawatts, capable of producing over 20 million kWh per year. We created the list to help you find schools that have already installed solar.

  • State Department of Education Announces High School AYP
    NEWS Connecticut Department of Education Dr. Betty J. Sternberg, Commissioner EMBARGOED September 7, 2005 State Department of Education Announces High School AYP (Hartford, Connecticut) – Seventy-two percent (130 out of 181) of Connecticut’s high schools achieved the standards for adequate yearly progress (AYP) under the federal No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act based on performance on the 2005 Connecticut Academic Performance Test (CAPT). This year, high schools had to reach a higher benchmark in the percentage of students scoring at or above proficient than in previous years. For the last three years, at least 59 percent of the students tested needed to score at or above proficient in mathematics and 62 percent needed to score at or above proficient in reading. This year, high schools had to meet the following standards: o 69 percent of students must be proficient in mathematics; o 72 percent must be proficient in reading; o 70 percent of students graduate; and o 95 percent must participate in CAPT testing. Under NCLB regulations, the targets at or above proficient must increase at intervals until 2014, when 100 percent of all students are expected to be proficient. The graduation rate and participation rate requirements will remain constant. “While the standard went up 10 percentage points in each subject, the overall impact on the number of schools that did not meet AYP was minimal,” said Commissioner of Education Betty J. Sternberg. “While this is good news, we must sustain our collective efforts to help schools not making AYP and ensure that all students achieve at high levels.” A total of 51 high schools did not make AYP.

Prof. Amar clarified that in this election, just like in Lincoln’s second campaign, it is completely possible to have a result where the president, the House, and the Senate could all shift to either completely Democratic or Republican controlled.
