The markmade on his-tory by aPlainville na-tive, whodied 87 yearsago, came tolight — then a t i o n a lspotlight —last weekend when hundredsof people gathered at theEvergreen Ceremony inBrighton, Mass. to pay theirrespects and watch the un-veiling of the monument onhis previously unmarkedgrave.

Large crowds of employees and community membersgathered on June 26 at the parking lot of General ElectricEnergy Industrial Solutions corporate headquarters onWoodford Avenue to celebrate the longstanding relation-ship between the company and the town of Plainville.The company, which employs about 400 people inPlainville, established its headquarters in town in 1905,according to company spokespersons.

During the event, Luis Manuel Ramirez, chief execu-tive officer of GE Energy Industrial Solutions, presenteda check for $9,500 to representatives of the PlainvilleCommunity Food Pantry. Ramirez said the company hasbeen involved with the pantry for almost 10 years, provid-ing volunteers and funds toward its efforts while sup-porting them during the holidays with baskets and spe-

Though it will still servethe town as it always has,Nutmeg TV will no longercall Plainville home comethis October Executive Di-rector Joanie McCauley said.

“We are very sad to leavePlainville,” she said June 28.“We worked very hard tostay, working with the eco-nomics director and town of-ficials. We were just not ableto find a fit in Plainville.”

In October, McCauley saidthe community access sta-tion will make its move toFarmington, upgrading fromthe 5,000-square-foot locationat 58 W. Main St., to an 8,300-square-foot one. McCauleysaid the new location willhelp in terms of space andmoney.

“We will have the ability touse more funds for the com-

munities that we serve,” shesaid. “By moving, we will beable to spend a lot less onbuilding location and putmore money into the studioand TV station.”

The new location, Mc-Cauley said, will feature alarger studio and more edit-suites for patrons. A size up-grade was one thing NutmegTV was looking for, in addi-tion to finding ways to savemoney.

Mark DeVoe, director ofplanning and economic de-velopment, said it is unfortu-nate the station is leaving.

“Our objective was to finda building that fit their needsin Plainville and lease it,” hesaid. “We found one build-ing, but a deal could not bemade. We wish them the verybest and still want to contin-ue to be a part of the Nutmeg

first black police officer inBoston, was born 1848 in asection of Plainville when itwas still called Farmington.Horatio is also consideredthe second black police offi-cer in the United States; thefirst man served in Cleve-land.

Margaret Sullivan,archivist for the Boston Po-lice Department, had beendoing research on past policeofficers to complete archives.Last summer, when shelearned Horatio’s story, shee-mailed the Plainville His-torical Society and latercame to the center at 29Pierce St., to learn more in-formation about the man andhis family. To help local re-searchers prepare, she asked

them specific questions andprovided the informationshe already had.

Rose Stanley, vice presi-dent of the historical society,said she and other historicalsociety officials often assistpeople, even from out ofstate, with learning abouttheir ancestors or local busi-nesses and property. “It is ex-citing when people come in,”Stanley said. “A lot of work isput into the historical socie-ty, so people can use it and doresearch.” However, the ram-ifications of this project lat-er came as a surprise.

Historic records had de-tails about Horatio and hisfamily, which included his

The Peck Spring building,now renovated as a busi-ness complex, dates to1915.

Business builds future in old manufacturing propertyBy Dan Brechlin

The Plainville Citizen

When Tom Basti, principalat Whiting & Broad Street As-sociates, was approached byPeck Spring Corporation andthe Bristol Spring Companyabout two-and-one-half yearsago regarding the state of thecompany’s property, Bastisaid he saw a business oppor-tunity. He and his companyhave since purchased theproperty, renovated the main70,000-square-foot buildingand turned it into what hehopes will be a hub for busi-nesses.

“We are happy with it,”Basti said. “The economictimes are tough, but we havea lot of interest.”

So far, Basti said 13 busi-

nesses have moved into thelocation at 123 Whiting St.,though none of the business-es are based in Plainville.Some businesses include theProgressive Specialty GlassCompany and Sports CarRenovations, of Southington,The Art Spot and Lush LawnCare, of Bristol, and Mi-crotechnologies, of Berlin.

Mark S. DeVoe, director ofplanning and economic de-velopment in Plainville, saidthe site is an attractive spotfor manufacturing business-es.

“The property is in an en-terprise zone,” DeVoe ex-plained. “If the business is aqualified manufacturer,there can be certain tax ad-vantages.”

DeVoe said a reason for thebusinesses to be moving intothe building can help eachother.

“Basti has been successfulwith this project so far,” hesaid. “’Companies can gain alot through a symbiotic rela-tionship through advanta-geous group of businesses to-gether.”

Plainville, DeVoe said, isan attractive location forbusinesses because of its lo-cation and the transportationsurrounding it.

“Plainville is centrally lo-

cated in the state and has anactive market,” he said.“Route 72 and 84 run throughPlainville and then Route 9 isjust a quick hop off (Route)72.”

DeVoe also said the activerail line and municipal air-port are two forms of trans-portation helping the flow ofbusiness through town.

“Transportation is a big is-sue in terms of advantages(for Plainville),” he said.

Basti agreed with DeVoe,stating that taxes and trans-portation are big advantages.

“The Town of Plainville isbusiness friendly with a lowtax base,” he said. “We are inthe center of the state offer-

ing distribution to all areas.”In total, the property is

150,000 square feet on fiveacres of land, but only the70,000 sq. foot building is be-

ing rented out. Basti saidabout 100 people are current-ly being employed in thebuilding, though there isplenty of space to be rentedout.

“We have over 50,000square feet available,” Bastisaid.

The project cost about$800,000 Basti said and in-cluded dividing the buildinginto smaller spaces and in-stalling individual gas fur-naces in each divided areaand air conditioning.

grandfather, Lyman Homer,who was a governor of hispeople. His brother, William,served with the Connecticut29th Regiment, which was ablack regiment that fought inthe Civil War. “He was amember of a family of serv-ice,” said Nan Eberhardt,president of the historical so-ciety. “It is exciting that ourhistory goes that far, and toother states.”

Homer, who was appointedto the Boston police force inDecember 1878, was promot-ed to sergeant in 1895. “Hewas in the police force for 40years,” Stanley said, “whichwas a big deal back then.”

Stanley helped Sullivanwith her research during herone-day visit. “She went tothe state capitol library tolook him up too,” Stanleysaid.

Several weeks ago, Stanleyand Eberhardt were asked tocome to the ceremony honor-ing Horatio. They wouldn’thave missed it for anything,

both women said.Also invited were Darren

Carrillo, of Southington, andhis sister, Kyle Carrillo, ofPlainville, descendants of theesteemed officer. “We knewwe had relatives back in the1800s but never knew aboutHoratio Homer,” said DarrenCarrillo. On the big day, heand his wife, Alice, with hissister, Kyle, traveled toBrighton. The Carrillos’ sis-ter, Pat Beverley, ofPlainville, was unable to at-tend.

“We didn’t know what toexpect,” said Darren Carril-lo, who works for Connecti-cut Light & Power. When theyarrived early at the cemetery,already there were hundredsof police officers in theirdress blues and white glovesassembling to honor their an-cestor. The Carrillos wereseated in the first row wherethey listened to numerousdignitaries includingThomas M. Menino, mayor ofBoston. They also met LillianHomer and Maria Homer, de-scendents of Horatio Homerand relatives the Carrillos

had never known about. A21-gun salute, the playing of“Taps” and ceremonial bag-pipes were also part of theevent.

“We were treated like roy-alty,” Darren Carrillo said. Acombination of emotions, in-cluding amazement andpride, filled him and his sis-

ter, he said. “Tears wererolling down our faces.”

The Homer sisters helpedunveil the new headstone onthe grave of their great-grandfather where he isburied with his wife, LydiaSpriggs Homer. After retir-ing in 1919 due to stomachcancer, Horatio Homer only

received a pension for fouryears. He died in 1923 and hiswife died in 1931. Their gravewas unmarked because therewas no money for a head-stone.

The division moved itsheadquarters to Ohio about10 years ago but continued tooperate the facility inPlainville. In January, thecompany re-opened its head-quarters in town.

“The company has goneback to its roots this year,”said Ramirez. “We haven’tdone a company picnic for afew years. We wanted it to bean event that the communitycould participate in.” A freefamily fun day for the publicwas held in the afternoon,following the employee pic-nic.

The donation to the pantrywas well-timed, according tothe pantry’s Executive Direc-tor Suzie Woerz. The pantry,which is a not-for-profit so-cial services organization, islocated on South CanalStreet and provides food,clothing, energy assistanceand other services to house-holds in town that are finan-cially struggling.

“Everybody is working

within their budget,” saidWoerz. “There has been anincrease in services. But thecommunity always comesthrough.”

She said that last week, 10local households almost hadtheir electricity shut off.

“I’ve been doing this for 20years,” she said. “I have nev-er seen anything this bad. We

are seeing donors that arenow customers.”

She recommended thatanyone interested in contact-ed the pantry to either call(860) 747-1919 or consult itsWeb site at www.thefood-pantry.net. She urged peoplefrom outside of town to dial211 for similar services.

daughter live in Plainville.The Republican challenger

said the central message ofhis campaign is “we can dobetter,” in reference to whathe says is the need for betterpolicies to handle the reces-sion and underlying causes.His ideas for “a realistic planfor recovery” focuses on cre-ating sustainable jobs in theprivate sector while reducinggovernment spending, re-moving trade barriers over-seas, stop the raising taxes,lowering energy costs and en-couraging innovation, ac-cording to his official Website www.bernierfor-congress.org.

The Bernier campaign isutilizing the Internet’s mostpopular social networkingsites and latest technologiesto bring his message to themaximum number of voters.There are campaign videosand news clips on YouTube,Facebook and Twitter. Al-

most every day he holds cam-paign events and has re-ceived numerous endorse-ments, including one fromthe Plainville RepublicanTown Committee. However,he is not shunning the moretraditional methods of reach-ing the public: radio, TV,lawn signs and going door-to-door.

Since he began knockingon doors, the major concernshe has heard are the state ofthe economy, need for morejobs, health care reform andrising cost of education.Towns such as Plainville,which survive on small busi-nesses, are hurting becausethe cost of electricity and tax-es prevent companies fromhiring and thriving, he said.He sees recovery of the econ-omy in small businesses. Ifcosts of doing business de-crease, “America [can] turnthe corner,” Bernier said.

His staff is in place toreach all segments of the600,000-person population inthe 41 towns of the 5th Dis-trict. “You can’t win by your-

self, you have to get good peo-ple behind you,” he said.Working with GarrettHawkins, field director, MattOczkowski, “e-campaign” di-rector, and Megann O’Malley,finance director, are internsand numerous volunteers.

In office headquarters, thephone bank room has dozensof cellular phones, which canbe taken anywhere they areneeded; volunteers are nolonger tied to a desk. “Nowwe rely more on electronicmedia,” he said. His cam-paign is taking a different ap-proach, he said, by “talkingabout what we’re doing dif-ferently. People wantspecifics, not ‘change’ or‘new’,” he said. Being a full-time candidate enables himto focus entirely on his cam-paign and goals. He is notconcerned about personal fi-

nances while pursuing theRepublican seat, however, heand his wife will have to dosome “belt tightening,” hesaid. “I don’t use campaignfinances to pay myself.”

Bernier said he and Mur-phy have some major differ-ences. “Campaigns are stillwon by word of mouth. Peo-ple know we’re listening.The response has been fan-tastic. People are looking fora fresh start and new an-swers,” he said.

“I truly believe if we have

people in Congress who areindividually minded, Ameri-ca is gong to come backstrong. That’s why this elec-tion is so important,”Bernier said.

To contact Bernier forCongress headquarters, call(860) 351-5085 or e-mailJ u s t i n @ B e r n i e r f o r -congress.org.

on behalf of Relay. Why allyear? Because cancer doesn’thave a season. It is presenteach day of each year and weneed to stay just as aggres-sive in our vow to find a cure.

At Relay, team captains,team members, volunteers,committee members and ourtreasured survivors, walkthat track each hour of the24-hour walk. Why all night?Because not only does cancernot sleep, it never stops. Cer-tainly as walkers were outthere throughout the nightwith aching feet and tiredbodies, it was a challenge tostay motivated. The best rea-son that we heard for keep-ing going came from ShaunWyman at about 3 a.m. on theSunday morning of Relay.Shaun said that as he walkedthe track, feeling achy andtired, he thought about howachy and tired cancer pa-tients are while they suffernot only with the disease butwith the painful treatmentsand aftereffects they areforced to endure. That’s whatkept Shaun and folks likeFred Jewett (with his red haton) and a walker in a ginger-bread costume out all nightlong taking lap after lap withbeads to mark each turn.

This year’s Relay For Lifeof Plainville planning com-mittee was made up of thelargest number of membersever, with returning veter-ans and many welcomednewcomers. With about 12sub-committees workinghard on the many pieces thatmake up a Relay event, a bigthank you needs to go out to:Debbie Dow, Samantha Dow,Jen Farina, Kelly Farina,Kris Farina, Alyssa Gonza-lez, Laurie Gonzalez, LuisGonzalez, Debbie Kerfoot,Bonnie Kizilski, Sonia Nur-czyk, Tina Pelletier, KathyPerreault, Bev Rohon, NancySewitch, Lynn Szach, CathyTalley, Becky Tyrrell, JamieWyman, Shaun Wyman and,of course, our ACS staffpartner, Lynn Kipphut.

Everybody has their per-

sonal reason for “Why I Re-lay?” but everybody has thesame goal to win the battleand the war against cancer.

School News

By Dan BrechlinThe Plainville Citizen

Plainville High School sen-iors Keegan Nelson, EmilySchapcott and Steve Brunodid not boast the top grades oftheir class. They do not claimto have done anything overlyspecial. In fact, they weresurprised they were even be-ing honored by the school.But the school’s mentoringcommittee saw somethingspecial in them, which is whythey were chosen as the win-ners of the school’s StudentsRock awards, which is heldsemi-annually.

“These are kids who goday-to-day doing the rightthing,” said Anna Norland, achemistry teacher and mem-ber of the mentoring commit-tee, which chose the awardwinner. “We wanted to recog-nize students other than aca-demics and athletes. Thisshows that these students’qualities are also valued inPlainville.”

In its quest to honor stu-dents who “do the rightthing” every day, the highschool’s mentoring commit-tee, with the support of Prin-cipal Gregory Ziogas, creat-ed the award. To be consid-

ered for the honor, studentsmust assume responsibilityfor their behavior, contributeto the school and the commu-nity, and appreciate the bene-fits of a physically, emotion-ally and socially healthy

lifestyle, according to nomi-nation guidelines. Studentsare nominated by the facultyand staff, which then votes.The awards were presentedto the students at the highschool on June 8.

All three students willgraduate this month and arecollege-bound in the fall.Bruno, who Norland said“exemplifies a good kid” wasactively involved with RelayFor Life and the cross coun-try team. He will attend theUniversity of Hartford.

Schapcott, who will attendCapitol Community Collegeand major in radiology, saidshe was not expecting theaward and though she wasnot entirely sure why she re-ceived the award, she had aguess. “Overall, I think I ama good kid. I just do what Ido,” she said.

Norland said Schapcott“gives 110 percent to every-thing she puts her mind to,”something Schapcott’s moth-er, Linda, agreed with. “Em’s

a great kid,” she said. “She’sdone a lot and she helps a lot.She does track and volleyballand she helps out and justgives everybody 110 percentoverall.”

Nelson, like Schapcott,was surprised by the recog-nition. “The award is differ-ent,” he said. “I worked real-ly hard to get my grades up.”

Nelson admitted to over-coming what he described as“really bad asthma,” andmade “positive life changes”with the help of mentor andformer General Electric em-ployee Joseph Creniti. “Hehas achieved the delicate bal-ance between academics andathletics,” Norland said ofNelson. “He refused to let(his asthma) get in the way.”

Though Nelson said he isnot sure what he wants to dowith the rest of his life, hesaid he will be attendingTunxis Community Collegein the fall.

Winners of a movie-making competition held at thePlainville Senior Center learn the results. From leftto right are Scott Minor, course instructor, CindyFruchtenicht, third-place winner, Gene Kelsey,second-place winner, Joan McBain, senior centercomputer instructor, Joi Sorensen, Plainville Pub-lic Library reference assistant, and David Archam-bault, of Tunxis Community College. McBain,Sorensen and Archambault were the judges. Ju-dith Humphrey, not pictured, won first place.

To celebrate OlderAmerican’s Month,May 2010, the NorthCentral Area on Ag-ing sponsored an es-say contest. Contes-tants were invited towrite a 500-word es-say entitled, “AgeStrong! Live Long!”Plainville SeniorCenter member, Pat Roper, ofPlainville, wrote a heartfelt essayabout her journey and the lessonsshe learned along the way. She wasinvited to read her essay on the radioshow “Living Well Connecticut,”which on WTIC AM 1080 on June 20.In 2006, she published the children’sbook, “Grandma’s Prayer.” Her es-say, “Age Strong! Live Long!” follows:

From the Great Depression to atime of plenty characterizes ourlives. The experiences of the formerallow us to fully appreciate the later.What of the many years in between?

There is growing up through child-hood, becoming educated and learn-ing the skills to make a living. Theroad has had many ups and downs,more ups than downs. God alwaysgives us a way if we are willing totrust in Him, we have learned totrust in the goodness of God. To agestrong you must work and pray ashard as you can.

Our choice of spouse is a criticaldecision as it shapes our life journeyin every way. You can no longer befirst, you learn that you have to putyour spouse first as you share thegood and the bad times. To agestrong you must love unconditional-ly.

Once the children arrive you haveto share more and more, spreadingyourself thinner and thinner. Theconflicts in parenting can test a mar-riage and put husband and wife atodds with one another. You learn toshow a united front to your childrenand if you do disagree, do so in pri-

vate...to age strong, you must staystrong together.

Happiness comes fromwithin…we learned early on thatpeople and possessions cannot makeus happy. They are only happeningsthat may enrich our lives but ourtrue happiness comes from within aswe live our lives in accordance withour beliefs. To age strong you need astrong faith foundation and a will-ingness to set self interests aside forthe good of one’s marriage and fami-ly.

As marriage moves from passion-ate love to a phase of deep abidinglove it is important to look forwardand never look back. To age strongwe need to accept one another as weare today with love, gentleness, kind-ness and a sense of humor.

There is only one you so don’t tryto be someone you are not. It helps tolearn from on another but don’t letanother take over the essence of whoyou are. To age strong you must con-

tinually grow and discover moreabout whom you are… your authen-tic self.

The retirement from our laborsshould motivate us to help othersand share our acquired skills, knowl-edge and even wisdom. To age strongwe must continue to learn, to partic-ipate in life and to share our gifts.

God tells us to share what we have.There will always be heartbreak butGod will be with us to the end of ourjourney. Enjoy the gifts He has given.The golden years become a bouquetof memories...it is never too late toenlarge your bouquet with grand-children, great-grandchildren andnewfound friends. To age strong youmust stay open to new people, newides and new experiences...withoutlosing your authentic self.

May God grant us the grace to agestrong just as He gave us the gift tolive long!

By Nick CarrollThe Plainville Citizen

Over the next three weeks, The Citizenwill take a look back at the year in sports atPlainville High School, a year in which mile-stones were reached, new coaches emergedand champions were crowned.

This week, the fall season …Led by the program’s all-time scoring

leader Alyssa Martino, the PHS girls soccerteam rolled up a record of 11-6-1 and ad-vanced to the second round of the CIACClass M state tournament, where it fell toLauralton Hall, 3-0.

This year marked the PHS girls soccerprogram’s sixth straight tournament ap-pearance.

Martino netted 33 goals during the sea-son, and became the first PHS female soccerplayer to score more than 50 goals.

The PHS boys soccer team earned a spotin the postseason for the second straightyear, but once again its stay was brief. TheBlue Devils fell to eventual state semifinalistEllington 1-0 in the opening round of theCIAC Class M state tournament and endedthe year with a mark of 8-8-1.

Prior to the 2008 season, the PHS boys soc-cer program had been absent from the statetournament since 1997.

For the first time since 2002, the PHS vol-leyball team earned a trip to the postsea-son. The Lady Blue Devils didn’t stickaround long, however. The locals lost to EastCatholic 3-0 in the opening round andwrapped up their campaign with a record of8-10.

Throughout the season, the PHS volley-ball team collected donations for ThinkPink, a program that raises awareness andfunds for breast cancer research.

Numbers remained low for the PHS foot-ball team and that resulted in a rough cam-paign, as the Blue Devils went winless.

PHS coach Rocky Gagliardi resigned afterthe season after two years at the helm. TheBlue Devils went 1-9 in 2008.

Paced by junior Mike Rottier, the PHSboys cross country team manufactured a 5-2 record, and finished third in the CentralConnecticut Conference South Division and12th at the CIAC Class M meet.

Going intobattle with ayoung team,P l a i n v i l l ePost 33 JuniorAmerican Le-

gion coach Jim Tufts wasnot sure what type of sea-son his club would be instore for this summer.

As it turned it, Tufts did-n’t have a thing to worryabout.

Post 33 rattled off fourwins last week, and atpress time was tops in Zone7 with a record of 8-1.

“We’re definitely step-ping up,” said Tufts, whoseguys need just three morezone victories to qualify forthe state tournament. Ateam must win at least 11 ofits 20 zone games in orderto punch a ticket to thepostseason. Post 33 fellshort of the state tourna-ment in 2009, ending theyear with a mark of 9-11.

“We just didn’t seem to

pull out the close ones lastyear,” said Tufts. But thisseason, Post 33 is comingthrough in the clutch.“When it gets late in thegame, I’m not surprisedwhen we win,” said Tufts.

Defense has been Post33’s strength. “That hasprobably been our biggestthing,” said Tufts, pointingout that his team hasplayed some tidy ball thusfar. “Maybe one error agame — maybe.”

Shortstop Erik Perrottiand second baseman KevinCiotto anchor Post 33’s in-field. “When I have thoseguys out there, I don’t wor-ry about the ball being hitanywhere,” said Tufts.

For a guy who had notpitched in a competitive situ-ation for some 10 months,Eric Zapatka has had a heckof a season for the PlainvillePost 33 Senior American Le-gion baseball team.

Zapatka attended Man-chester Community Collegethis past school year, but didnot suit up for MCC’s base-ball team. The PlainvilleHigh School alumnus kepthis arm loose however, andreturned to the mound forPost 33 this summer.

The locals are glad to havehim back.

At press time, Zapatkaowned a record of 3-0 and a

miniscule earned-run aver-age of 1.37. In 20 innings ofwork, he had struck out 19and had allowed just six hits.

Zapatka, who collected his20th career Legion victorythis past weekend, has been asteady performer on an in-consistent team. Headinginto this week, Post 33 was 5-5 in Zone 7.

“We’re plugging along,”said Post 33 coach Lou Man-deville. “It’s a good zone. Thezone is tough.”

Mandeville said his clubcould have had at least sixwins by this point, but Post33 has struggled to come upwith hits in key situations,and pitchers have given up

Junior All-Stars look to make another runBy Sam Dostaler

Special to The Citizen

With a strong roster, the PlainvilleJunior Little League All-Star base-ball team, comprised of 13- and 14-year-olds, is primed to make anotherrun at the District 5 championship,and hopefully, at its second statechampionship in three years.

Plainville’s roster is comprised ofKyle Beloin, Cody Charneski, DeanDeMartinis, Tyler Favreau, StuartLanger-Marshall, John Oliveria,Shane Pugliese, Gabe Santana, MattSauvron, Gage Spencer, ToddSweezy and Tim West.

The locals are managed by third-year head man Tim DeJohn. Duringthe school year, DeJohn serves as anassistant coach for the PlainvilleHigh School varsity baseball team.

Entering the tournament, thePlainville Junior All-Stars have themost important asset a team canhave — pitching. “We might have thestrongest pitching that we have hadduring my time coaching this team,”said DeJohn, who is assisted by for-mer PHS baseball player Mack Litke.

“We have Tim West, TylerFavreau, Shane Pugliese and GabeSantana,” DeJohn continued. “Icould have a rotation, and in tourna-

ment play that is one of the most im-portant pieces of a winning team.”

If his team gets good pitching, andtimely hitting, DeJohn believes thePlainville All-Stars can make a runin the tournament. However, gener-ating hits and runs, consistently, isno easy task. “I just look to have who-ever the nine guys in the lineup areproduce,” said DeJohn.

Aside from winning, DeJohn sim-ply wants his players to improve andbecome more confident in their tal-ents. “I want the kids to learn how toplay the game the right way, to nottake teams lightly, and to develop awinning attitude and competitive

edge, and to never be satisfied and al-ways to work towards getting bet-ter,” the coach said.

Tournament play begins nextweek. Until then, the Plainville All-Stars will practice and fine tune.”The kids are really excited, and a lotof people in town have high expecta-tions for the team. And the kids havehigh expectations for themselves,”said DeJohn.

“The kids text me all the time ask-ing me about practice and things likethat, so they know what the goal isand we’re just going to do our best tomake that happen.”

great catchers,” said Tufts.“They are the ones that makeeverything go, in my book.”

Post 33’s pitching staff ishighlighted by Ciotto, TylerGuimond and incomingPlainville High School sopho-more Brian Dostaler, whoTufts referred to as histeam’s “biggest surprise.”Danny Bates and Tom Dindahave been solid on the moundas well.

In the hitting department,Tufts said his team has beeninconsistent, but is gettingbetter now that players have

grown accustomed to swing-ing a wood bat. “Some dayswe hammer the ball, otherdays we can’t buy a big hit,”the coach said. “But we seemto be picking it up.”

Powering Post 33 at theplate have been Ciotto,Moshier, Kuzia, Dostaler andMarc DeMartinis.

Things certainly have gonewell for Post 33 during thefirst half of the season, butthe locals are not satisfied.Having missed out on thestate tournament last year,Post 33 is eager to collect itsall-important 11th zone win— very soon. “This is big forus,” said Tufts.

too many walks. “Gettingtimely hits has been a littlebit of a problem. And we’renot making other teams earntheir runs,” the veterancoach lamented.

Mandeville told his troopsrecently that clutch hits, cut-ting down on walks, andturning “unexpected” playson defense are the keys to asuccessful season. “If we dotwo out of three of those,more positive things willstart coming our way,” hesaid.

Other than Zapatka, Con-nor Phaneuf and Brandon

Dalena have been solid on thehill for Post 33. Phaneufearned his team’s other twowins.

At the plate, Post 33 hasbeen powered by MikeThomas (.321) and SamDostaler (.320). Taylor Perunleads the team with nine RBI.

Defensively, Mandevillesaid Post 33 has had no prob-lem turning routine plays,but has not made the playsthat get fans cheering. “Weneed to start doing that,” hesaid.

Thomas has been a rock atthird base. Mandeville is alsopleased with the glove workturned in by outfielders Dy-lan Chasse, Brett Litke andPerun.

Soccer clubThe Plainville Soccer Club is in need of two organized in-

dividuals to be co-directors of its Concession Stand Commit-tee for the fall season. Directors will be responsible for or-ganizing a committee of volunteers that will oversee the con-cession stand during soccer games at Norton Park andPaderewski Park.

Tips From The Pro

By Marc BayramSpecial to The Citizen

The latestquestion I re-ceived wasfrom Chrisof Plainville.Chris is 19,and relative-ly new to thegame. Hewrote, “I loseall of my strokes around thegreens. Do you have any tipson improving your shortgame?”

Well Chris, the key to shortgame success is variety! It isimportant to learn differenttypes of shots and knowwhen the right time to hitthose particular shots is. Thethree shots I teach aroundthe greens are the chip shot,flop shot, and bump and runshot.

A chip shot is the usual go-to shot the average playerhits around the greens. Achip is normally hit with asand or pitching wedge be-cause the shot will require abit of loft. The ball will travelin the air halfway to the hole,and after it lands, will rollthe other half to reach thepin.

The flop shot is a shot thatwill make the ball fly high inthe air and land softly nearthe pin with minimal release.This particular shot shouldonly be played as needed. Alot of amateurs will resort tothe flop for every short gameshot they encounter. Al-though the flop looks reallycool, it should only be playedwhen the shot you have re-quires you to loft the ball inthe air to carry a hazard, orwhen the shot at hand leavesyou with very little green be-tween you and the flagstick.The flop is typically playedwith a sand or a lob wedge.

The last shot, and my fa-vorite to play, is the bumpand run shot. This shotshould be played with a 7, 8,or 9 iron since it will not re-quire your ball to have a lotof hang time in the air. Thisshot should be played when-

ever you are right near thegreen, but have a largeamount of green to workwith between you and thepin. The bump and run re-quires very little effort inyour motion and will be hitjust like a putt. The ball willpop in the air and fly a veryshort distance. Once the ballhits the green, it will roll allthe way to the hole. The goalof the bump and run is to getthe ball to land just on to thegreen and roll the rest of theway to the pin.

As many of you saw re-cently if you were watchingthe U.S. Open, having a goodshort game is critical! Thekey to short game success isvariety. The pros do not limitthemselves to one type ofshot around the greens andneither should you. Thegame of golf is hard enoughat times, so make life easyand spice up your short gamewith variety!

Foundation brings newexperience to the board

The Community Foundation of Greater NewBritain recently elected three new members tothe board of directors, all of whom bring awealth of experience in both the business are-na and local community issues to the organiza-tion, according to a press release.

J. Leo Gagne, chief operating and financialofficer of Tomasso Brothers Inc., brings ex-pertise in the areas of project management andfinancial planning. He is actively involved withthe New Britain YMCA, the Shuttle MeadowCountry Club, the Hospital of Central Con-necticut, the New Britain Boys & Girls Cluband has served on the CFGNB’s Building Com-mittee for the past two years. “I’m a firm be-liever in giving back, so I was pleased andproud to have this opportunity to support thecommunity foundation knowing that it hasbeen supportive of the YMCA and so many oth-er key programs that benefit the Greater NewBritain area,” Gagne said.

Lawrence A. Tanner, president of CapitalArea Health Consortium, has served his careerin public health, including posts as presidentand chief executive officer of Bristol Hospital,New Britain General Hospital and CenConnHealth Consortium among others. His long listof volunteer positions within the Greater NewBritain community includes the NewBritain/Berlin YMCA, the Hospital for SpecialCare, the Connecticut Hospital Association,The American Savings Foundation and manymore. Tanner has served for the several yearson the CFGNB’s Audit Committee. “Throughmy years of involvement with this organiza-tion, I have witnessed the impact the communi-ty foundation has by connecting the dots be-tween those who need help and those who wantto help. Especially in these challenging eco-nomic times, making that connection is criti-cal,” Tanner said.

Patricia M. Walden, vice president of Cen-tral Connecticut Senior Health Services, foundher calling working in the field of senior care.She opened Southington Care Center in 1990and served as its first executive director. Shehas played a key role in the development of asenior care continuum in Connecticut knownas Central Connecticut Senior Health Services,which is affiliated with The Hospital of Cen-tral Connecticut.

She serves on numerousboards. “This is a wonderful opportunity toserve with others who share a common visionand commitment to making a difference in ourcommunities. Over the years the foundationhas helped countless seniors and their lovedones through support for many innovationsand resources for people of all ages in our com-munities. This is my way of saying thanks andhelping to keep that flame burning for others.”
