There was tension in the air when the town council met May 5 to discuss three new items on the agenda, as well as to se-cure the appointment of the a town auditor.

The new items consisted of: a bid to have Tobacco & Sons Builders of Bristol work on street improvements to Northwest Drive; a vote to have a fixed one year mill rate; and an addendum on tax refunds.

Discussions about the new budget did raise concerns and some members of the public voiced their disapproval over the low turnout of voters on April 29, at the firehouse, for the budget vote.

Resident Marilyn Sherrit, of Plainville, said that the 4 percent turnout was “dis-graceful.” She would have liked to have seen more signs around town and asked that “at election time, signage is everywhere.”

Two out of the three motions passed, with Vice Chairman Scott Saunders’ mo-tion to set the mill rate at 31.39 percent — below the 31.76 percent at the March 3 meeting — failing.

“This is a chance for us to be adaptive in a positive way to tax payers,” said Saunders, a Republican.

According to Town Manager Robert E. Lee, Plainville could make up the differ-ence through line item shifting. “Rather than raising taxes, we should take it out of our savings, or we could make this up next

There’s nothing quite like a flower, just ask Lisa Lozier.

Secretary for and 14-year member of the Plainville Con-servation Committee, Lozier has

an appreciation of the outdoors that she is spreading throughout the town’s education system. She took three days of vacation time last week to work with all the schools in Plainville, helping stu-dents plant flowers.

This program, which costs

a modest $500 per year, was started by Lozier as soon as she joined the commission.

“The kids have a ball,” Lozier said. “They have a chance to plant, and it helps benefit wild-

In addition to her interest in flow-ers and gardening, Lozier said she has always had a passion for birds and is a member of the National Audubon Society.

Madyson Miller, a Wheeler Elemen-tary School second grader, enjoyed the planting project.

“I had fun,” she said, “and my favor-ite flowers are tulips.”

Another student, Kasper Celi, doesn’t really have a favorite flower, but got a lot out of the project.

“Plants are important to nature and I had fun learning today,” he said.

Lozier said that while she loves what she does, it can be challenging as she is the only one on the commission who does this. Even so, she hopes the plant-ing project continues for a long time.

year,” he said. Democrat council member

Quinn Christopher said that the fixed mill rate worried her, and she didn’t support it.

Street improvements to Northwest Drive — also known as the Safe Routes to School Project — was passed at a cost of $328,743.00 for Tobacco&Sons, with the en-gineer’s estimate actually $376,590.00.

This would be for Plain-ville High School and Toffo-lon Elementary School. A

ccording to the council, there are three alternates for the project, all at different prices.

Alternate number one would have a new sidewalk along Toffolon’s exit drive-way at a cost of $16,306, with alternate two replacing the fence along the walking path at a cost of $22,380.

Alternate three would com-plete the bicycle travel way at $14,994.05. This would all be covered by a state grant.

In addition to the three motions, the appointment of a new town auditor was sus-pended until the next meet-ing, because Saunders felt apprehensive about making a vote before looking at more

information.Lee supports hiring Blum

Shapiro to be town auditor because the firms members “have worked well with us in the past and at a good price.”

In addition to these items, residents also voiced con-cern over the lack of having these meetings televised by Nutmeg Television for more people to see.

“Why can’t we establish a contract with Nutmeg to tele-vise these meetings?” asked resident Lou Frangos. “Tele-vising these meetings would provide a fair and enforced forum for residents.”

Sherrit said “We would like to have the whole meet-ing filmed. If it costs money, it’s our tax dollars. It is the right of the people to have their voice heard — none of the reasons you give make any sense.”

Democratic council mem-ber Christopher Wazorko had favored having these meet-ings taped while he was run-ning for town council, but changed his mind, and stood by it when pressed.

“I stand by the change I made, having this televised has nothing to do with free speech,” Wazorko said.

Treasure hunters tidy up trails

Ever wish you could be a treasure hunter with a secret code-name, tracking down hidden troves? More than two million people worldwide do exactly that by participating in geocaching, a hobby that makes use of a GPS device. Cachers follow coordinates to a cache, where they can sign a logbook using their geocach-ing name.

Lee McFadden, who helped collect garbage, said that she enjoys geocaching “because I’ve learned some really in-teresting things about lo-cal history and seen some amazing sights I never would have if not for caching.” One of these sights was the old Nike Missile Base on Pinna-cle Rock in Plainville on the

New England trail. The Nike Missile Base, a relic from the cold war that entered service in 1956, is named for the same Roman goddess of victory as the shoe company.

McFadden recently partic-ipated in a geocaching event organized by Randy Wills, also known by his geocach-ing username “Mr. Echo,” to celebrate Earth Day, April 27. Those who attended found some caches and hauled away over two dozen garbage bags full of trash cleaned up from the trails at the Berlin Blue Hills Conservation Area. “It was everything from wood shingles to about five or seven tires,” Wills said.

Wills said that even though cachers do leave caches in the woods for others to find, many of them “are environ-mentally conscious, espe-

cially about littering.” Cachers in the Central

Connecticut area are “a pretty close-knit commu-nity” that regularly holds events, including trips to restaurants, hiking, and even kayaking, according to Wills. Geocaching.com plays a cen-tral role in the community by providing a hub where users can find nearby caches, or-ganize events, communicate with other cachers, and even post caches of their own.

Although many cachers are hiking enthusiasts, some caches can be found in urban environments as well. Wa-terbury resident Joe Medina, who participated in the earth-day clean up, hunted down a cache at a Costco in Water-bury May 4.

Medina said that he enjoys geocaching with his son, and

that they sometimes partic-ipate with other families as well. One of the best parts about geocaching with kids, according to Medina, is that some of the larger caches, which are generally found on hiking trails, have small toys in them. One of the official rules of geocaching, Medina said, is that if you take an ob-ject from a cache, you must

leave one of equal or greater value. Kids really enjoy ex-changing toys with caches, Medina said.

Caching can get even more complex with “puzzle caches,” which require seek-ers to solve a riddle to dis-cover the coordinates of the cache. Some hardcore cach-

Road warrior making area appearanceRoute 6 is the longest con-

tinuous highway in America, and Connecticut native and retired journalist Joe Hurley has walked every mile of it. Hurley documented his od-yssey in the book “Ten Mil-lion Steps On Route 6,” and will be featured soon at the Southington library.

“It was a really enlighten-ing experience,” Hurley said.

Route 6 passes through the heart of central Connecticut as it stretches from Provinc-etown, Mass. to Long Beach, Calif.

“In 2005 a group of Route 6 enthusiasts convinced the state to designate old Route 6 as a historic highway,” Hur-ley wrote, explaining that although Route 6 has not of-ficially been a transcontinen-tal highway since the 60’s, when California dropped the second name for 395 and 14. Now, however, there are road signs marking historic Route 6 along the path that it once run.

Hurley traveled the en-tire distance from Province-town to Long Beach on foot. He came up with the idea af-ter walking all of Route 6 in Connecticut to give readers of “The News-Times” in Dan-bury “a better picture of our home state.”

When Hurley decided to walk Route 6 in its entirety, he originally hoped to first acquire sponsorships and find enough newspapers in-terested in the story to spon-sor the entire trip. In the end, he settled for a deal writing weekly stories of his journey for weekly newspapers, and made it across the country by the skin of his teeth – with the help of a credit card.

Without enough money to make it all the way to Califor-nia, Hurley set out to find a

photographer who would join him on his quest.

“Strangely, no one wanted a nine-month job with no sal-

ary,” Hurley quipped in his book.

After an internet ad got many more replies than were expected, Hurley set off with photographer Travis Lindhorst to walk across the country.

Many people envision him walking with Travis driving slowly alongside, Hurley said, but “Travis was 25 at the time, and he was a good looking young guy… he would drop me off in the morning and then go off and do whatever young people do during the day before he would pick me up 20 miles later.”

Hurley scheduled his walks such that he traveled 20 miles every day, with one day every week to file stories, and an-other day off to rest.

“Support from the newspa-pers was enough to keep us

going,” Hurley said, “In Penn-sylvania we ran a little low on money… one of the most touching things to me was that people [who heard about Hurley’s journey] would come up on the street and give us a couple dollar bills. That was very touching.”

One of the other surprising things about the journey was that “there really is a differ-ence in folks, especially in the Midwest,” Hurley said. Every-one waves at one another, and waving when you see some-one becomes something au-tomatic, because you know they are going to wave back, Hurley said.

Joe Hurley and Travis Lindhorst will be at the Southington Library Wednes-day, May 21 at 6:30 p.m. On-line registration is available to reserve a seat.

Significant factions within ancient Christian-ity included several which revered Jesus and his teach-ings but didn’t view him as God. These included the Sabellians, Adoptionists and Arians. A tug-of-war was intense until the Council of

Nicaea (325) adopted Trinitarian theology, included in the Nicene Creed which is recited to-day in many churches. At the Council of Constan-tiople (381) the formu-

lation of the doctrine of the Trinity was completed, and Emperor Theodosius I de-nounced all non-Trinitarians as heretics.

As the name implies, Unitarianism rejects the Trinity. Here in the United States it initially developed out of Puritanism, partly in response to the Enlight-enment which emphasized reason over revelation. It also was a backlash against the portrayal of human na-ture as inherently depraved, a central theme among early Calvinist settlers of New En-gland. Unitarians dismissed the idea of “the Elect”, em-phasizing instead the worth, dignity and equality of every human being.

The movement had a heavy impact in the Boston area where seven of the first nine churches founded by the Puritans, including the Pilgrim church in Plymouth, aligned themselves with the Unitarians.

Ironically, the first par-

ish to officially do so was King’s Chapel in downtown Boston, originally Episcopa-lian. It kept much of its own liturgical tradition, making changes in its Book of Com-mon Prayer to reflect its new affiliation. By 1805, Unitarian ideas dominated at Harvard which has reflected a very liberal approach to religion for over 200 years.

My own acquaintance with Unitarianism goes back to my teen years, and was intensified in 1953 when Bea-con Press, affiliated with the Unitarians, published my first book, “Apostles of Dis-cord”. The brilliant, feisty and later-renowned book editor, Jeannette Hopkins, then 29, was assigned by the publisher to work with me. Jeannette was an avid Uni-tarian, who had grown up in an evangelical church, and, when we weren’t at work, we would debate many is-sues, among them which of us knew more gospel hymns. When she died in 2011 at age 88 her Will left me an old gospel hymnal. She regarded traditional denominations as citadels of superstition, some more than others, which led to additional debate.

Later, when she had joined Harcourt, Brace Publish-ers, she (quite by coinci-dence) became the editor for my third book, “Com-munism and the Churches”. I can’t resist mentioning another coincidence. After graduating from a teach-er’s college in upstate New York, Jeannette’s mother had taught for a year in Swan-ton, Vt., my hometown. One day Jeannette sent me

Op-Ed

A good laugh for Mother’s Day Editor’s note: While Mother’s Day is filled with

sentiment and warm-fuzzy thoughts — as well it should be — there’s another side of motherhood to explore.

There are lots of moms who ap-preciate how much a sense of humor can help when it comes to the world’s toughest job.

We’ve gathered a few famous quotes on the topic from a range of observ-ers. Share a laugh with your mother this Mother’s Day and see which of these funny quotes rings true for her experience.

“I want my children to have all the things I couldn’t afford. Then I want to move in with them.”

— Phyllis Diller“The most remarkable thing about

my mother is that for 30 years she served the family nothing but left-overs. The original meal has never been found.”

— Calvin Trillin“A mother is a person who, seeing

there are only four pieces of pie for five people, promptly announces she never did care for pie.”

— Tenneva Jordan“My mother’s menu consisted of

two choices: Take it or leave it.” — Buddy Hackett

“Any mother could perform the jobs of several air-traffic controllers with ease.”

— Lisa Alther“My mother had a great deal of

trouble with me, but I think she en-joyed it.”

— Mark Twain“If evolution really works, how

come mothers only have two hands?” — Milton Berle

“When your mother asks, ‘Do you want a piece of advice?’ it is a mere formality. It doesn’t matter if you an-

swer yes or no. You’re going to get it anyway.”

— Erma Bombeck(And a few last thoughts from that

prolific writer “author unknown.”)“Working mothers are guinea pigs

in a scientific experiment to show that sleep is not necessary to human life.”

— Unknown“I’d like to be the ideal mother, but

I’m too busy raising my kids.” — Unknown

“To the world you might just be one person, but to one person you might be the world.”

— Unknown

Sterling situation stresses journalistic downsideThe Donald Sterling out-

rage that has spread like a prairie wildfire across the realm of sports has another side to which the impetuous pay little heed.

Before anybody even slightly misconstrues what I’m about to say, I was mor-tified by the comments that appar-ently express Sterling’s true feelings. How dare

he evaluate another human being based on skin color? How ignorant could he be to belittle the very people who are the heartbeat of his busi-ness’ existence?

What he said was despi-cable, and the eloquent mes-sage that new commissioner Adam Silver delivered was right on target.

I feel for Doc Rivers, Chris Paul, Blake Griffin and the rest of the Los Angeles Clip-pers, who presently are com-peting on the NBA’s biggest stage with a knot in the pit of their stomachs. I feel for the team’s fans, wondering whether they should boycott

the games as a response to Sterling’s hypocrisy or root for a gallant group with a legitimate chance to win the NBA championship.

Is there truly a person on the face of the planet who feels any remorse for Sterling? If there is, he or she better express them-selves carefully, perhaps in the middle of a desert or a rocket ship to Mars, which brings me to the point made by Hall-of-Famer Kareem Abdul-Jabbar among others.

Something is truly amiss when people in the comfort of their own homes can have their innermost thoughts recorded clandestinely and broadcast across the face of the Earth.

From what I’ve read, it sounds pretty obvious this V. Stiviano set Sterling up like a bowling pin. Evidence seems to suggest that she engaged in embezzlement and subsequently black-mail. It’s said that Sterling is, or was, an astute, calcu-lating businessman, but the temptation of a beautiful woman and the egotism that comes with having her on his arm in public reinforces his image as a doddering 80-year-old buffoon. Jabbar forcefully noted in a column

for Time.com, “She was like a sexy nanny playing ‘pin the fried chicken on the Sambo.’ She blindfolded him and spun him around until he was just blathering all sorts of incoherent racist sound bites that had the news me-dia peeing themselves with glee.”

Our news sources are tripping over themselves, procuring quotes from the basketball cognoscenti all the way to the White House, on how contemptible Ster-ling’s comments were.

I feel such coverage is an insult to the intelligent reader. We know that most everybody is mortified by Sterling’s blather. The best

stories I’ve read clued me in about who and what V. Stiviano appears to be and the messages Sterling sent out long ago that estab-lished him as being racially insensitive.

What journalism has become makes me sick. I refuse to mention the two sleaze-driven websites that thrust this “news” into the public eye, and speak to the contradictory nature of our contemporary culture.

People from liberal think tanks like the ACLU were up in arms when it was suggested that surveillance cameras be used on public streets to help law enforce-ment identify potential

troublemakers. But record-ing somebody without their knowledge and using it to expose their frailties is fine in satiating our society’s clamoring for celebrity dirt.

Here’s what I choose to take from the episode.

Sterling, after publicly apologizing to Magic John-son, Doc Rivers, the Clip-pers and their fans, should be forced to sell the team. A portion of the proceeds should be earmarked for organizations that sincerely promote diversity without prejudice.

As Silver said, the NBA is in the midst of one of the most exciting postseasons in its glorious history and its integrity must be upheld. It has long been my belief that NBA players are the finest athletes in the world, and the league has been very progressive in bringing to-gether people of all races, colors and creeds.

The garbage that gets passed off by amateurs in the social media can never re-place honest journalism, for if it is accepted by the main-stream as such, it will shake the very foundation and principles upon which our great nation was founded.

Roy

a 1914 picture of Swanton High School’s four-mem-ber faculty and student body of about 50 teenagers. There on the front row was Howard Roy. then 15, who became my Dad! Inciden-tally. From 1980-89 Jeannette was director of the Wesleyan University Press in Middle-town. I often recall her with gratitude, a truly remarkable woman.

Early Unitarianism in this country generally was viewed as liberal Protes-tantism with a particular

reverence for Jesus without according him worship. On Sunday mornings, in many of their churches today, you may hear selections from the Bhagavad-Gita of Hinduism, Buddhist Sutras, a Native American poem, or perhaps excerpts from an ancient classic or a contemporary novel.

When hymn tunes are fa-miliar, the words probably have been edited. Members of the same congregation may range from progres-sive Christians to humanists, often a word that implies atheism. Interfaith couples may find common ground in Unitarianism. Emphasis

is placed upon such social issues as peace, racial and gender equality, economic justice, ecological concerns, and the separation of church and state.

In 1961 the Unitarians and Universalists joined to form the Unitarian Universal-ist Church, The two groups shared many principles and practices. Both held non-li-turgical worship services and embraced a congrega-tional form of parish govern-ment. The Universalists had ordained Olympia Brown, the first woman minister in the United States. Their name came from an empha-sis on the universal salvation

of all humanity. Surely a lov-ing God would not condemn anyone to an eternity in the fires of hell. Universalists in Meriden organized in 1854, then built an impressive brownstone across from City Hall in 1893, Today the UU church in Meriden is at 328 Paddock Ave. on the city’s eastside. Other UU congre-gations nearby include those in Hartford, West Hartford, Hamden, New Haven, and Woodbury.

The Unitarian Univer-salist Church in the United States has a surprisingly small membership, roughly 160,000. With about 1025 churches, many areas of the country have no UU par-ish within easy traveling distance. More important, perhaps, millions of Ameri-cans, clergy and laity alike, certainly among mainline Protestants, find intellec-tual freedom and theological

diversity within their own denominations..

Any list of Unitarians and Universalists contains a long and impressive catalog of creative Americans. An ab-breviated sampling would include Paul Revere, John and John Quincy Adams, Daniel Webster, Samuel F. B. Morse, Clara Barton, Horace Greeley, Julia Ward Howe, Louisa May Alcott, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Al-exander Graham Bell, P. T. Barnum, Susan B. Anthony, William Howard Taft, Oli-ver Wendell Holmes, Adlai Stevenson, Linus Pauling, Frank Lloyd Wright, Christo-pher Reeve, Pete Seeger and many more.

Trails

ers even make do with noth-ing more than a map and a compass when searching for a cache.

Some caches even move, using a “travel bug” – a metal keychain resembling a dog tag that contains a unique tracking number used to move and verify the bug’s lo-cation online.

One of these travel bug caches has even traveled to space. Waterbury native and NASA astronaut Rick Mastracchio, also known as cacher “AstroRM,” has hid-den a geocache on the inter-national space station in the form of a travel bug – one he hopes will return to earth and be replaced by a new bug placed by another space-trav-elling geocacher. Buffalo Wild Wings in Waterbury will be hosting an event for cachers to watch Mastracchio return from the International Space Station on May 13.

Ron Ruel, who also at-tended the earth day event, has hidden a cache himself in the hiking trails at Wad-sworth Park in Middlefield. When hiding a cache “you want to look for a good loca-tion, and to put it somewhere that people are going to en-joy themselves,” Ruel said.

Caches have to follow cer-tain guidelines, like being far enough away from railroad tracks, private property, and government buildings.

Caches look like “all kinds of things,” Ruel said, but many of them are Tupper-ware containers, five gallon buckets, or film canisters.

“I’ve seen a fake birdhouse with a cache in it. The possi-bilities are limitless.”

Sometimes caches are mis-taken for trash, although this is very rare, Ruel said. Geo-caches have even been mis-taken for bombs by police in states across the country. Geocaching.com encourages users not to hide caches near “sensitive infrastructure” to prevent such misunderstand-ings as the hobby expands. Cachers are also encouraged to use transparent containers and to clearly label all objects as geocaches. PVC pipes, in particular, may look like pipe bombs to law enforcement officials.

Anyone can start geocach-ing, according to Wills, who said that many people already have the only tool they really need – a GPS device or smart-phone. Geocaching.com fea-tures videos explaining the rules, and how to get started in playing the real-life trea-sure hunting game.

Chamber event celebrates community involvement

Two women who have worked side by side for 27 years received a singular Employee of the Year Award from the Plainville Chamber of Commerce at the 106th Awards Dinner and Annual Meeting. Shawn Cohen and

Ronda Guberman are so synonymous with the Plain-ville Senior Center some say they can almost be consid-ered a single entity. The 2013 awards ceremony was held April 22 at Nuchie’s restau-rant, Forestville,

Cohen has been the sole executive director since the senior center opened more

than 39 years ago. Since that time, her leadership, with Guberman, has resulted in

the facility being measured by many as the best senior citizens’ center in the area.

Several years ago an exten-sive expansion resulted in en-hanced programing, a fitness center, a cafe, small shop and seating areas for socializing.

Guberman, assistant di-rector, also has introduced her own initiatives including Grandparents Raising Grand-children, a support group and resource for residents ages 45 to 84 who are legally respon-sible for young family mem-bers, often because of tragic situations. The two women have worked to introduce new services, events and classes. This has resulted in a increase of thousands of memberships from Plain-ville and surrounding towns. Their collaboration has been instrumental in obtaining grants for the center.

Many members of the se-nior center attended the celebration, according to Maureen Saverick, cham-ber of commerce operations manager.

State Rep. Elizabeth “Betty” Boukus presented state cita-tions to honorees and officials including Town Manager Robert E. Lee and Assistant Town Manager Shirley Osle also presented recognitions.

Also honored were Linda Garcia as Distinguished Vol-unteer of the Year and D.R. Templeman Co. as the Busi-ness of the Year.

Garcia was recognized for starting the Farmers Mar-ket of Plainville, in 2012. She grew up on her grandfather’s

farm in town, which instilled in her the value of locally grown food coupled with a healthy lifestyle. The farmers market has evolved and will include entertainment and new vendors when the sea-son opens June 27. She also founded the Circle of Artists, where friends refurbish and design chairs for nonprof-its’ fundraisers. Retired from the Wheeler Regional Family YMCA, she volunteers with the AYR (a group for YMCA retirees) and will travel this spring to the Dominican Re-public to construct housing.

Active in numerous ser-vice organizations, Garcia is executive director of PARC, Family Centered Resources for People with Develop-mental Disabilities. Liberty Bank Assistant Vice Presi-

dent Kathy Aubrey-Bergonzi, chairwoman of the chamber of commerce and event em-cee, also serves on the PARC Board of Directors.

“Linda has been a tremen-dous asset to PARC. She continues to work diligently toward developing a greater presence in the community and developing new pro-grams,” said Benson Swift, PARC board president.

Garcia said volunteer-ing takes dreaming, positive thinking “and deliberately picturing something we de-sire and make it come about.”

Three Williams’ broth-ers – Richard, Art and Da-vid – accepted the award for D.R. Templeman Co., a pre-cision manufacturer of cus-tom springs, rings and wire forms founded 76 years ago by grandparent David R. Templeman Sr. The company, which began in the basement of the family home, has ex-

panded to the manufacturing facility on Northwest Drive.

He and other family mem-bers have been active in the chamber throughout the years serving in positions, on committees and as spon-sors. Other involvement in-cudes the United Way, PARC, YMCA, Rotary, annual bal-loon festival and more.

Richard Williams cred-ited the Town of Plainville for providing the incen-tive for the business to stay in town. “To whom much is given, much is required,” he said, quoting from the Para-ble of the Faithful Servant in Luke. “We hope we’ve been a blessing to many. This recog-nition of our efforts has been appreciated and for that truly grateful.”

Blue Devils baseball remains at .500

Baseball

The Blue Devils used an-other week of .500 ball to re-main at .500 on the season (4-4), as they head into the heart of the regular season schedule.

The boys began the week with an exciting 5-4 walk-off victory at Alumni Field last Monday. Junior Kyle Beloin came around to score the winning run in the bottom of the seventh off of sopho-more John Lindgren’s deci-sive single. The Blue Devils opened the game with four runs in the bottom of the first, yet couldn’t shake the Chief-tains, who clawed their way back into the contest with two runs in both the third and fifth innings. Junior Brett Snowden earned the victory.

The Blue Devils weren’t as fortunate in their Friday matchup with the Rams of Bristol Central as they fell 6-3. After taking a 1-0 lead in the top of the first, the Blue Dev-ils saw their lead slip away and were forced to play from behind for most of the con-test. A seventh inning come-back was quickly silenced as the boys only scored one run in the frame. Junior Robert Pezzulo took the loss.

Softball

The girls lost two more

frustrating matchups last week, halting their promis-ing two-game win streak and raising more causes for con-cern as the losses mount.

The Lady Blue Devils be-gan the week with a frustrat-ing 10-3 loss to Platt. After playing three scoreless in-nings, Plainville struck first blood, taking a 1-0 lead in the top of the fourth. The lead was short lived, though, as Platt scored four runs in the bottom of the fourth and never looked back. The Blue Devils were plagued by their four errors throughout the contest while freshman Kiya Broughton took the loss.

The girls’ week finished with a disheartening 14-6 loss to drop the team to 3-6 on the year. The loss became the fourth defeat that has seen the Blue Devils lose by seven runs or more. The team hasn’t won a single matchup by that many runs themselves this season.

The girls will look to turn their season around in their upcoming homestand, where they’ll play three straight at Alumni Field.

Plainville High School outdoor track hitting its stride

With the spring season now halfway complete, the boys and girls outdoor track teams at Plainville High are now fully warmed up and ready for the year.

While many read that last sentence and think that the Blue Devils are behind sched-

ule, those around the team know that they are right on schedule.

Plainville is the lone CCC South team that doesn’t field a winter season indoor track team, which has left the teams behind the eight ball heading into the spring outdoor sea-son for years now.

“Their kids (from other schools) come into the sea-

son in shape already, where we’re starting off fresh,” said girls coach Robin Mills.

Yet the coaches are aware of the obstacles they face at the beginning of each sea-son, and never worry. In-stead, they’re willing to take a few early season lumps to straighten out off the rough edges.

“Now the girls are in shape,

so the numbers are dropping, times are getting better, dis-tances are getting better be-cause we’re practicing every day,” said Mills. “They’re re-ally stepping up and getting comfortable in their events.”

The teams’ newfound com-fort in finally starting to show in the record column, too, as both the boys and girls teams won their Senior Meet’s

Tuesday, April 29, when the Blue Devils played host to Bulkeley. The win proved to be the first of the year for the girls team, and the second in a row for the boys, who de-feated Platt the week before.

“I think we’re seeing the improvement in a lot of the field events. We have some

with a dominating 6-0 vic-tory in a rain shortened home match against Weaver, giving the team a two match win streak. Unfortunately, the girls couldn’t keep the good times rolling, as they lost 5-2 against Maloney on May 1 to end the week on a sour note.

Regardless of the loss, the girls have been playing well as of late. In the team’s first four matches, the Blue Dev-ils were outscored 26-2. In the girls’ next four matches, the Lady Blue Devils have out-scored their opponents 14-13.

Boys Tennis

The Blue Devils remain winless after a frustrat-ing 7-0 loss to a dominat-ing Southington team that dropped the team 0-5 on the season.

While it’s been difficult for the expansion Blue Devils to take away many victories in their return to season to competitive high school ten-nis, their difficult losses have come at the hands of some stellar competition. The team’s two 7-0 losses have been to teams that are a com-bined 11-1.

The team’s schedule could allow the team to steal a vic-tory in the coming matches, as the boys will face teams with similar losing woes over the next few weeks.

Boys Golf

The Blue Devils continue to struggle out on the links, as their 0-2 performance from last week dropped the team to 1-4 on the regular season.

In the team’s opening match of the week, the boys were blown out by the rival Berlin Redcoats, 205-158. Aus-

tin Forauer of Berlin medaled with a score of 36.

The Blue Devils lost in heartbreaking fashion in their final match of the week, falling 194-191 against Bristol Central. Junior Nick D’Amico was the match’s medalist, fin-ishing with a score of 41 at the boys’ home course of Tunxis Plantation in Farmington.

While the boys have been out of the win column in their last three matches, the team has seen improvements in its overall scores. Through the first three matches, the team averaged 216 strokes per con-test. After last week’s improv-ing performances, the team’s average number of strokes is down to 209.4 per contest.

The Blue Devils girls golf team did not play last week due to inclement weather. For all your Blue Devil updates, make sure to follow @Pvil-leCitSports on Twitter.

new hurdlers that are im-proving,” said boys coach Shaun Berard. “we have guys who are filling spots, where at the beginning of the year, we weren’t able to have two or three guys in a race. We were giving up points, second place points.

“Some of those earlier meets I’d like to do them over again at the end of the year; I think we’d fare a lot better.”

While timing wasn’t in their favor early in the sea-son, both squads still have the time to improve individ-ual performances in anticipa-tion for the conference and state meet. Some Plainville standouts, including senior Shea Echols of the girls team and juniors Omar Abdelsame and Quentin Lux of the boys team, are aware of the events

they will look to dominate in the postseason.

Some fresh faces to the sport are continuing to find the events that work best for them, and are rapidly devel-oping into long term threats for the Blue Devils.

Junior Julius Brown and sophomore Natalie Za-jaczkowski both recently be-gan hurdling for the boys and

girls teams, respectively, and have already achieved mod-erate success. Brown, who started his track career as a long distance runner, is find-ing success with the 300 me-ter hurdle distance, and is now finding his niche on the 4x100 and 4x400 team. Za-jaczkowski has already qual-

“We’re starting from scratch, so for them to be where they are is very im-pressive,” said Mills. “They’re good athletes for them to be able to do that, when you come in and step up to the plate, and to have the mental toughness to do that.”

Both teams have three dual meets remaining prior to the CCC conference meet, set to be held Wednesday, May 28 at Platt High School in Meriden.
