Volume 13, Number 8 Plainville’s Only Weekly Newspaper www.plainvillecitizen.com Thursday, February 26, 2015

Russ James, who has lived in Plainville for 25 years and retired in 2011 after a 30-year career as a sergeant on the Bristol police force, is an expert on lobsters and has published “A New England Lobster Tale: Growing up with Homarus Americanus,” which he will share with the public at the Plainville Public Library Thurs-day, March 5 at 7 p.m.

James grew up in Voluntown, near Long Island Sound. That’s where he first encountered lob-sters. “I saw where they live, at the bottom of the ocean,” he said. “My book is an autobiographical view of growing up with lobsters.”

James has researched the his-tory of the lobster species, from where it came from millions of years ago to its history in America. He looks into the failed attempt to transport New England lobsters to California in 1873, and to the die off of Long Island Sound lobsters in 1999 from shell disease.

Also, James has much to say about the Maine lobster culture; from the Maine Lobster Festival in Rockland, where the author won the seafood cook off contest in 2011 with his lobster medallions and sea scallops recipe, to his hunt for the best lobster roll – the winner is Red’s Eats in Wiscasset, which offers a sandwich with two pounds of hand picked lobster. “That is by far the best, and a thing to behold,” he said.

James also includes details on how lobsters are caught in top wa-ter traps and lobster biology – how they breathe, eat and reproduce.

“A New England Lobster Tale” includes 165 full color pictures that James has taken over the past 30 years and a range of facts about lobsters and lobster culture. James’ award-winning recipe is also included.

So, come out of your shell and stop by the library to meet James on March 5. Copies of his book will be on sale for interested – and hun-gry – readers.

The Plainville Town Council approved the recommendation of Town Manager Robert E. Lee and authorized ESCO, the Lenox, Mass. lighting company, to develop a street lighting conversion program that will replace 1,423 so-dium lights in town with LED light fixtures.

Jack Hanley, director of business develop-ment at ESCO, presented the program at the Feb. 17 Town Council meeting that outlined the improved lighting the LED fixtures will pro-

A car driven by a Hartford man crashed into a gas main on Unionville Avenue and Bradley Street in Plainville Friday night, Feb. 20, which led to the evacuation of the nearby Northfield condominiums and area houses.

Dion Robinson, 36, was the only passenger in the car. He was admitted to the Hospital of Central Connecticut in New Britain, and as of Feb. 23, had not been released. Robinson was suffering from minor injuries and is in stable condition, according to Plainville police Lt. Eric Peterson.

“He was driving and knocked the gas meter, which should have cement barriers,” Peterson said. “It emitted a high odor of gas, so the fire

Several mailboxes on Parker Farms Road in Wallingford were knocked over or broken by snowplows recently, some-thing a resident said has hap-pened before.

Toni Wood and her husband have lived on Parker Farms Road for 30 years.

“It’s a no-win situation,” Wood said. “If the roads weren’t cleared people would complain. If their mailbox is damaged, they complain. This happens throughout town.

People have to expect it.”Public Works Director

Henry McCully said if a resi-dent reports a damaged mail-box, town employees are sent to replace the mailbox and the post if it is also damaged.

Replacement items available are a wood post and a black metal box. No colored or or-nate mailboxes are available, McCully said.

The department budgets $10,000 a year for mailbox re-placement. Snowstorms may delay the time it takes for a crew to respond, McCully said.

“Our first priority is public safety,” McCully said.

Residents can also purchase their own replacement and file a claim with the town clerk for reimbursement up to $37.50, McCully said.

The Southington Highway Department also has a replace-ment program. According to the town’s website, residents have 48 hours to report dam-age to the highway depart-ment. A department employee will inspect the damage, and if it’s determined that the damage occurred as a “direct contact with snow removal equipment,” the town will bear responsibility. Residents will be compensated $50 for a damaged mailbox and $75 for a damaged mailbox and post, the website said.

Unlike Wallingford, South-ington crews don’t do any re-placement installation work, the website said.

The City of Meriden web-site notes the city will pay up to $50 after filing a claim with the city clerk.

Cheshire’s replacement pol-icy is similar to Wallingford’s. Damage must be reported within 48 hours. Town crews will try to repair the damage or will replace a mailbox with a standard metal mailbox. If a resident replaces it them-selves, Cheshire will reim-burse up to $200 for materials and labor upon submission of valid receipts.

Of area towns, Plainville’s damaged mailbox policy is the most unforgiving. According to the town website, damage to a mailbox “caused by the snow discharged from the plow is the resident’s responsibility.” The town accepts responsi-bility only when a mailbox is damaged by a plow, directly.

The website asks Plainville folks to keep in mind “It is the resident’s duty to make sure that your mailbox and post are made and maintained to with-stand a New England winter. Some plastic mailboxes in New England’s subzero temperature may not always survive.”

Towns offer options when plows wreck mailboxes

It is illegal to discharge show from driveways, park-ing and sidewalk areas into the public roadways, ac-cording to the Plainville Roadways Department. Dis-charging snow into the road-way hinders operations and is a hazard to motorists. The ad-dresses of residents who dis-charge snow into the public roadway will be forwarded to the police department for ap-propriate action.

If a mailbox is damaged during snow removal opera-tions (by direct contact of the plow), the town or its subcon-tractor is responsible for the

damage. Damage caused by the snow discharged from the plow is the resident’s responsibility, as it is the resident’s responsibility to make sure the mailbox and post are manufactured and maintained to withstand the winter. To report mailbox damage, call (860) 793-0221, ext. 208.

Choral society show has something for every taste

The Plainville Choral So-ciety invites the public to its Pops Concert on Friday, March 13, 7:30 p.m., at Glo-ria Dei Lutheran Church, 355 Camp St. in Bristol.

“The audience can look forward to a program that is upbeat, entertaining and a lot of variety,” said PCS Director Peter Peluso. “It features mu-sic from all different styles, including classical, popular, movies, musical theater, reli-gious and patriotic.”

The concert will also fea-ture special guest artists, The Connecticut Accordion Orchestra, which will per-form several numbers and be joined by the chorus for two pieces.

“We are very excited about this opportunity. They bring a sound to the stage we have never had before,” said Lola Wishart, PCS producer.

The performance will in-clude more than 50 PCS

members, ranging in age from 18 to 88 years old.

While the group is cele-

brating 45 years in 2015, it is also a bittersweet time, as PCS members prepare to say

goodbye to Peluso and his wife, who will be stepping away from PCS at the end of

the season.“Peter and his wife, Mary-

jane, are the biggest reason that PCS has been such a success. They will both be missed so very much,” said Debi Wishart Dunn, PCS producer.

Peluso has been part of PCS for 41 years, one year less than Maryjane.

“It’s been hard knowing that the shows this year are going to be an end of an era for me,” Peluso said. “I’m go-ing to miss the music-making and seeing and working with people who have become my friends. It’s something that I will miss dearly.”

Concert tickets are $12 in advance and $15 at the door. Tickets are available at Cher-yl’s Beauty Salon, Dancingly Yours, Family Barber Shop, Plainville Senior Center, Irene’s Culinary in Forest-ville and Saint’s Restaurant in Southingon.

For more information, call PCS at (860) 747-5495 or visit pcsmusic.org.

Task force seeks input on corruption in state

Local legislators said this month they support the cre-ation of a task force to combat corruption in Connecticut.

The Connecticut Public Corruption Task Force was formed earlier this month and consists of representa-tives from the FBI, U.S. Postal Inspection Service, Internal Revenue Service Criminal In-vestigation Division, as well as the Inspector General’s Of-fices of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Ser-vices and the U.S. Depart-ment of Housing and Urban Development.

U.S. Attorney Deirdre Daly said in a statement that the task force’s responsibilities include investigating and “rooting out” elected offi-cials, federal, state and mu-nicipal employees who use their position for personal gain at the expense of the public good.

“Connecticut’s unfortu-nate recent history with cor-

ruption is well known, but so is this office’s history of combating corrupt activ-ity,” Daly said in a statement. “Our efforts have been aided by a dogged media and coura-geous, conscientious citizens, business owners and public officials who have provided information about corrupt activity in their midst.”

The task force has already spent months at work and was involved in the arrest of a former finance director in Plymouth accused of em-bezzling more than $800,000 from the town, according to a statement.

State Sen. Henri Martin,

who represents Plainville, Bristol, Thomaston, Harwin-ton and Plymouth, said, “The formation of a public corrup-tion task force is the right thing to do. We’re given a fi-duciary responsibility and it’s a relationship of trust.”

Martin made reference to the arrest of David Bertnagel, the former finance director of Plymouth charged in January. “He lived in Thomaston and worked in Bristol and Plain-ville for years and was a full time comptroller in Plym-outh,” Martin said. “When it comes to embezzling, you’re stealing and taking from the public for your own personal

gain. The task force should prosecute all corrupt public officials.”

To raise awareness of the task force’s mission, the New Haven division of the FBI in-stalled billboards in Hartford, Bridgeport and Waterbury.

To raise awareness of the task force’s mission, the New Haven division of the FBI in-stalled billboards in Hartford, Bridgeport and Waterbury.

The billboards ask motor-ists to “Report corruption now!” by contacting the task force at 1-800-CALL-FBI.

Mayors in the three cities were convicted within the past decade or more on cor-

ruption and other charges. Convictions against Hart-ford Mayor Eddie Perez were overturned and the case is be-fore the state Supreme Court.

But Marybeth Miklos, FBI New Haven media coordi-nator, said there was “pretty much no” significance be-hind the locations.

“We just asked for space,” she said Feb. 11.

The FBI has a partnership with Lamar Advertising, a company that sells adver-tising on billboards, Miklos said. The company was con-tacted, she said, and offered to give the federal agency space on digital billboards in the state as part of a “public service.”

The ad was displayed on a fourth billboard in Meriden along Interstate 91 South. The FBI has offices in Meriden at 500 Preston Ave., according to the agency’s website.

The display was no lon-ger in the cycle of advertise-ments Feb. 11, however.

Special Olympics Winter Games to begin Feb. 28

Special Olympics Con-necticut hosts its 2015 Winter Games on Feb. 28 and March 1 with key events being held in Simsbury.

Cross country skiing and snowshoeing will be held at Eversource, the former Con-necticut Light & Power prop-erty and the figure skating and speed skating events will take place at the International Skating Center. Both sites are located on Hopmeadow Street.

The events are free and open to the public and take place from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Nearly 1,000 athletes from eight to 70 years old are slated to take part in the events. Most are from Connecticut. The athletes participate in community programs and train for eight weeks before entering the Special Olym-pics programs, according to Laurie-Jean Hannon, vice

president of sports and com-petition at Special Olympics Connecticut.

The athletes compete in groups set up by age, gen-der and ability, “so everyone competes and is recognized for their efforts,” Hannon said.

There are also alpine ski-ing and snowboarding events in New Hartford and unified and traditional floor hockey in East Hartford.

Preliminary events will be held Feb. 28 with finals and awards presentations sched-uled for March 1. Gold, sil-ver and bronze medals will be awarded to the top three finishers in each event, with fourth to eighth place finish-ers winning ribbons.

LED

vide and the savings the town will reap from the conversion.

The LED lights, which could be purchased from UIC Energy, a Wallingford com-pany, produce a whiter light that is easier to see. “There is an instant on-off so you can control them, unlike sodium lamps,” Hanley said. “They operate via computer chips that emit light, and you can change colors. Public safety would have access to the lighting system so they could brighten lights at the scene of an accident.”

He also said the bulbs last 15 to 20 years, “so you won’t have to get up on the bucket truck to change bulbs. They reduce maintenance costs.”

Hanley said the cost of in-stalling LED lights is $304 per fixture, which will cost the town $467,000. A rebate from Eversource – formerly CL&P – of $187,000 will reduce the cost to $280,000.

The town will also save $77,000 on the annual energy cost of LED lamps, which are $33,000, compared with $100,000 for sodium lamps.

Lee said the move to LED lights “is a better way to do things. We’ll save money on electric costs and get better performance from the LED lights.”

Council chairwoman Kath-erine M. Pugliese said the LED lights “offer a far longer life span. The new technol-ogy saves on utility bills and the wider, better lights pro-vide massive cost savings.”

The council approved the plan unanimously.

Hanley said ESCO’s next step is to do an inventory of all street light assets in Plain-ville and prepare a design for LED conversion. “We hope to get the council’s approval to move forward once we com-plete the audit,” he said.

Lee said he will incorporate town savings from the LED lights into the 2015-16 budget he is preparing for March. “We’re looking to have the work done by summer so we can incorporate the cost sav-ings by July 1 at the beginning of the fiscal year.”

Corruption

State Senate Minority Leader Len Fasano said he believed the formation of the task force was “perfectly rea-sonable” and that he under-stood why it was done.

“Based on the number of instances we’ve had at the town level and legisla-tive level, I perfectly under-stand why they’re doing what they’re doing,” said Fasano, a Republican who represents the 34th Senate District con-sisting of Wallingford, North Haven, East Haven and Durham. “As an elected of-ficial who understands and

appreciates the public trust, it’s embarrassing ... because it’s one of the few and not the norm.”

State Sen. Danté Bar-tolomeo, a Democrat repre-senting Meriden, Cheshire, Middlefield and Durham, said she believed the task force’s creation is a “great idea” and those who are involved with corruption should be investi-gated and pursued.

While Fasano said there haven’t been that many in-stances of corruption in Connecticut, he added that it still “taints” other elected officials.

“People put their faith in

you as a public official, we should be held to a stricter standard,” he said. “I feel (the task force is) appropri-ate. It’s embarrassing that it happened and that it’s gotten to a point where there was a need for this task force.”

Bartolomeo agreed, add-ing that the small percentage of corrupt politicians give all elected officials a bad name.

“It’s kind of like one bad apple can ruin the bunch,” she said. “Any public official or elected official involved in corrupt activities taints the rest of us.”

The area was closed to traf-fic for about an hour follow-ing the accident. The condos and houses on Unionville Av-enue and Cody Avenue were evacuated for an hour and a half. Eversource Energy turned off the electricity.

Robinson drove off the right hand side of the road and came into contact with the gas meter, then hit a guy-wire and drove into a one-car garage on Unionville Avenue, which was damaged, Peter-son said.

The incident is under in-vestigation. Peterson said Robinson will face motor ve-hicle charges, including oper-ating under suspension and failure to drive right.

Joseph Franklin Aivaz

PLAINVILLE — Joseph Franklin Aivaz, 81,

of Plainville, husband of Barbara (Chapman) Aivaz died peacefully on Thurs-day, Feb. 19, 2015, sur-

rounded by his loving wife and children.

Born in New Britain on Aug. 2, 1933, he was the son of the late Joseph I. and Veronica (Shamlian) Aivaz. A resident of Pla-inville since 1954, Joseph was a 33-year member of the Plainville Police De-partment, retiring as a lieu-tenant in January of 1992. During the Korean Conflict, he served as a sergeant with the U.S. Army, earning a Bronze Star for Valor. An active member of the com-munity, Joe was a longtime supporter of youth-based activities, credited with being a founding mem-ber of the Plainville Po-lice Association’s Poville Pond in 1961, as well as a respected coach for the Plainville Midget Football League’s Browns. In ad-dition, he served as presi-dent of the Plainville Police Association, Chairman of the Conservation Commis-sion and was on the Board of Directors of the Plain-ville Community Chest. In 1965, Joseph received the Distinguished Service Award from the Plainville Jaycees as Outstanding Young Man of the Year.

A lifelong freshwater and saltwater angler, Joe loved the time he spent with his fishing buddies, especially his sons and grandchil-dren. In his later years, he returned to his childhood hobby as a pigeon fan-cier, and enjoyed watching them take flight on sum-mer evenings. His favorite winter pastime included cheering on the UConn women’s basketball team

with his family at Gampel Pavilion. Most importantly, were the memories made by the simple acts of love for his children and grand-children, thus leaving an unmatched legacy.

In addition to his be-loved wife, Barbara, he is survived by his children, Barbara Willard (Gary), Su-san Fabrizio (Louis), Stuart Aivaz (Laura), Sandra Soul-tatos, and Lt. Col. (ret.) Jeffrey Aivaz (Michelle); grandchildren, Amy Fab-rizio Hayes (Brian), Sara Fabrizio; Joseph and Kris-tina Soultatos, Katherine Willard, Cameron, Chloe, and Charlotte Aivaz, Mad-ison, Connor, and Preston Aivaz; and great-grand-son, Colin Hayes. He dearly loved his siblings, Benjamin Aivaz, Ruth Frisk (Stuart), Josephine Sabino and Veronica Sypek (Ray-mond); and many nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his broth-ers, Michael, Jonathan, and Robert; and sisters, Lucy Benjamin and Anna David. Amongst those he left behind are his won-derful friends and neigh-bors including “the gang,” all of whom he considered family.

Calling hours were held at Bailey Funeral Home, 48 Broad St, Plainville on Sunday, Feb. 22, followed by a Celebration of Life. Burial services will be held privately. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to the Lt. Joseph F. Aivaz Scholarship Fund, c/o the Plainville Police Association, P.O. Box 375, Plainville, CT 06062. For online expressions of sym-pathy, please visit www.Bailey-FuneralHome.com.

Bahá’í community in the United States has sought to build a model of racial in-tegration and race unity, embracing people from all backgrounds and classes of society.

“Do not be satisfied un-til each one with whom you are concerned is to you as a member of your family. Re-

gard each one either as a fa-ther, or as a brother, or as a sister, or as a mother, or as a child. If you can attain to this, your difficulties will vanish, you will know what to do. This is the teaching of Bahá’u’lláh.”

Published every Thursday by the Record-Journal Publishing Co. Delivered by mail to all homes and businesses in Plainville – 06062.

“Arch Coal Inc. (ACI) on Tuesday reported a loss of $240.1 million in its fourth quarter… The results did not meet Wall Street expectations.”

The above was written by a robot, coming from an Associated Press report written by the Automated

Insights algorithm. This com-puter pro-gram wrote 3,000 stories for the AP last quarter – 10 times what the AP report-

ers have been producing on their own. The stories are sterile, precise, and com-pletely error-free, but they read as if assembled with a cookie-cutter.

“It is certainly something that bears watching,” Quin-nipiac Associate Profes-sor of Journalism Richard Hanley told this reporter by phone. Hanley, a North Haven resident, doesn’t think that “the robots are taking over journalism,” but that the new technology could bring changes to the

industry. The AP’s use of Automated Insights hasn’t resulted in layoffs, according to a press release.

Hanley points out that the work robo-reporters can do is fairly limited. A program can tell you “what the DOW did or who won the game,” Hanley said, but they can’t think of new ideas or “look at the world through a nu-anced perspective.” These, the professor said, are the skills he is telling his stu-dents they will need to suc-ceed in journalism.

Robots and humans can team up on stories as well. As Will Oremus reported for Slate, “Quakebot” helped the Los Angeles Times put up a story about an earthquake less than five minutes after it happened. Quakebot’s initial story was short and to the point. “Not exactly Pulitzer-worthy,” Oremus wrote, but journalists were then able to use Quakebot’s facts and numbers as part of a much longer front-page piece the next day. One day using a program to help as-semble facts and statistics may be commonplace — bi-onic journalism.

What the robots will take over is some of the least in-teresting and most repetitive work, according to Han-

ley. Short, simple pieces are “basically data encased in a format,” the professor said, which is easy for robots.

Robo-reporters may be handy, but they could never dream to write as well as this: “…Despite racking up seven hits and eight runs, Friona was led by a flawless day at the dish by Hunter Sundre, who went 2-2 against Boys Ranch pitch-ing… Friona piled up the steals, swiping eight bags in all.”

Did I trick you this time? A Narrative Science pro-gram wrote the above along with more than 400,000 other stories about Lit-tle League games using an iPhone app called Ga-meChanger, as Steven Levy reports for Wired.

The robot’s command of sports slang is impressive, but if you take a closer look, the story is nothing but sta-tistics clumped into a narra-tive – the robot knows what happened play-by-play but it can’t tell you the how and the why.

Human reporters will still be needed to do more nuanced stories that “re-quire deep interpretation of the facts,” as Hanley put

Robot reporters will make us bionic journalists

This is not what we voted for

To the editor:There is a question that plagues me at every Town

Council meeting I attend since the vote regarding the referendum for funding the demolition of the “Old Linden Street” was taken. Specifically, I cannot un-derstand that although the referendum was rejected by town residents our Town Council continues to allow the pursuing of funds to demolish the building? In fact, at least one possible committee contacted the Town Council with plans/suggestions for the area once the building is demolished.

At the Feb. 17 Town Council meeting a segment of the Town Manager’s report was devoted strictly to why the building should be demolished, to the point where a video of the Chairman of the “OLS” Build-ing Committee, at a previous meeting, presented the Committee’s verdict, to demolish the building. Un-fortunately, no videos were shown of residents sug-gesting uses for the building.

As for our Town Council, the Council Chairwoman said in the Feb. 12 edition of a local newspaper, “the proposals for alternate uses of the school are mis-guided.” Does that mean, don’t waste your time with possible alternate solutions, the fate of the “OLS” building has already been decided by our town government?

It appears at times that our Town Council is con-tent to sit in silence with no suggestions, no ideas and an appeared reluctance to interface, pro or con, with residents on this issue.

Concluding, it is important to note, no matter who or what suggestions are made regarding the fate of the “OLS” building, town residents will remember that the final decision, whether positive or negative, was made by the vote of the Town Council.

Journalists

it, while robots crunch the numbers. “Students don’t need to be afraid of this or concerned about it.”

At the same time, Narra-tive Science’s CTO and co-founder Kristian Hammond told Levy after some prod-ding that he thinks more than 90 percent of news will be written by robots in the future. Still, Levy says, “This

robonews tsunami, (Ham-mond) insists, will not wash away the remaining human reporters who still collect paychecks. Instead, the uni-verse of newswriting will expand dramatically, as com-puters mine vast troves of data to produce ultra-cheap, totally readable accounts of events, trends, and develop-ments that no journalist is currently covering.”

Timothy Aeppel points

out in The Wall Street Jour-nal that this is just part of a larger trend of automation in white-collar jobs, with computers taking on legal research, translation, and even helping to diagnose diseases. Similar programs are also poised to take over writing data-driven financial reports.

So are our jobs safe? As safe as everyone else’s, prob-ably: just take a look at what else is coming. At the You-Tube page for the Google Self-Driving Car project, you can watch people step into a truly automatic automo-bile that doesn’t even have a steering wheel – this isn’t

theoretical, it’s already here. Self driving cars don’t even have to be perfect, just bet-ter than human drivers. Ma-chines have a leg up on us, too, never letting tiredness or distraction impair their lightning-fast reflexes.

Now take a look at Mo-mentum Machines’ burger robot, which may give fast food a run for its money. Journalists may, at least, be better off than cabbies, burger flippers, and truck drivers.

If all this change freaks you out, here’s some per-spective: in the short term, robots may put a lot of us out of work — but we’ll all

be in this together. Plus, not too long ago, 90 percent of people were farmers. Ac-cording to Wired, 2 percent of Americans now work in agriculture. Machines have totally taken over farming, and although it took some time for us to adjust, we did.

WrestlingThe mat men of Plainville

took part in the Class S state tournament Friday and Satur-day, finishing 13th place with 58 points.

The Blue Devils were fu-eled by 113-pound division combatant Tim Lister, who took home a third place finish with a win over David Dab-kowski of Nonnewaug. Lister won the third-place match in 46 seconds.

Also placing for Plainville was Dylan Fusco (285), who finished fifth. Fusco bested Chris Ernst (Seymour) by pin in 90 seconds to land in the top five.

Lister fell out of the cham-pionship bracket in a semi-f inal matchup with the eventual second-place fin-isher. The Blue Devil quickly went on to pin his next two opponents, however, to get on the podium.

Fusco also made it to the semifinal round in the cham-

pionship bracket before fall-ing 3-1. In his first match in the consolation bracket, Fusco was bested 7-3 before dominating in the battle for fifth place.

Seven of Plainville’s 12 competing wrestlers made it past the first round. Jus-tin Plourde (120) advanced to the third round before be-ing pinned by the eventual champ.

Lister and Fusco will next compete in the State Open, set to take place this Friday and Saturday at the Floyd Little Athletic Center in New Haven.

When you walk into Wood Gymnasium at Plainville High School and watch even the smallest amount of the boys basketball practice, it is clear that Austin Butler is the team leader.

He is the most imposing player on the floor and he is also the most vocal one, yelling out encouragement and instruction to the other players.

Butler, a senior who has played through a 0-20 sea-son and multiple coaching staffs, has been through some tough times during his career at Plainville High. Yet those tough times did not change his attitude and his desire to constantly improve.

“I have been here since my freshman year playing and it has been rocky at times, so then you can get negative sometimes,” explained Butler. “But then you think about it,

and in the end it is worth it (to keep playing) because you never know what will happen down the road.”

This season was a career

best for Butler, and the team (final record of 5-15) was rather aggressive, especially over the course of the second half of the year.

“I told Austin before the year started that he would have an opportunity to play on a team that would be com-petitive,” said first-year coach Jim DiNello.

“Everybody wants to win, but (I told him) we would work extremely hard and that you will have a good time in the process, because I be-lieved in my heart that we would be a competitive bas-ketball team.

“I told Austin he would re-ally have an opportunity to really lay the groundwork for future teams.”

It goes without question that Butler, who averaged 14.5 points and nine rebounds per game this season, has helped lay that foundation. His suc-cess this season has also, po-

ter one quarter of play and failed to gain any traction, getting outscored by the Bull-dogs in every frame.

PHS senior Austin But-ler dropped 20 points to lead all scorers. Junior Tim Dixon added 16 points (four 3-pointers), with junior An-drew Schuman dropping nine. Unfortunately for Pla-inville, only one other point was scored by the remainder of the team.

The Blue Devils’ struggles continued against Hall, as they fell to the Warriors 51-43. The local boys again trailed throughout the contest, and were outscored from the free-throw line 15-5.

Butler’s 22 points, again, led all scorers, while Dixon added nine. Junior Matt Festa scored seven points.

Plainville flipped the script

on rival Berlin in the season finale for both teams. Despite losing at home by 18 the last time the two teams met, it was the visiting Blue Devils who bested the Redcoats, by 18, to finish their season on a high note.

The Devils took an early 8-5 advantage after the first quarter and never looked back, expanding their lead to seven at halftime and 11 after the third.

Dixon led all scorers with 18 points, including six from the free-throw line.

Butler and fellow senior Nick Lestini scored 16 and two points, respectively, in their final game as Blue Devils. Junior Keandre Blue added seven points while Festa chipped in six.

Although easy to dismiss this as a lost season, the Pla-inville boys showed plenty of promise in coach Jim DiNel-lo’s first year with the pro-gram. Plainville’s five wins is its most since the 2010-’11 campaign, and totaled the same amount of wins the program registered in its last three seasons combined. The team also suffered six losses that were decided by 10 points or less. While the missed opportunities will sting throughout the offsea-son, it appears the ground-work for better days has been laid.

From Page 13

Butler

tentially, laid the groundwork for a prolonged basketball career.

Following his sophomore year, Butler, who is also a member of the school’s track team, was told by his then basketball coach Marc We-soly that if he kept working on his game he could do great things at PHS.

With those words of en-couragement in mind, Butler got to work with a renewed focus and, over the course of the last two seasons, saw steady and consistent im-provement in his game.

Butler spent countless mornings at the Plainville YMCA, often times going there as early as 5 a.m. to do drills before school started. Following school, Butler found himself right back in the gym, this time for a team practice, where the hard work continued.

During his sophomore year, Butler began playing AAU basketball for the Con-necticut Passion, a team out of Bristol. It was here where Butler began gaining expo-sure, and it wasn’t long af-ter that he started to receive e-mails and phone calls from college coaches.

“I would be shocked if he didn’t (play in college), be-cause he is going to be able to help somebody. He poses some very serious match up problems because he can pull you away from the basket and also plays with his back to the basket,” said DiNello. “I hope nobody drops the ball, be-

cause if (a school) gets him they are going to be getting a good player and a good kid, which is most important.”

So far, Butler – who hopes to study criminal law – has garnered interest from East-ern Connecticut State Univer-sity and from some schools in Massachusetts.

Butler also has aspirations to play overseas once his col-lege days are over.

As things continue to come together for Butler on the court, he is working hard to leave an imprint on the town of Plainville off it. It is not un-common to see Butler out and about helping the commu-nity. Every Saturday you can find him working kids clin-ics and tutoring future Plain-ville High School basketball players.

“Every practice, coach lets us know what is going on around the community and then he will ask me to get some guys together to go out and do some different things. He gives us these opportu-nities to give to the commu-nity so that the community will give back to us when it comes to supporting us for basketball,” said Butler.

Although times have been tough during long stretches of Butler’s career, you would never guess it by watch-ing him. The effort is there on a daily basis and, despite the fact that Plainville’s sea-son ended without a playoff berth, you can bet that this won’t be the final chapter of Butler’s basketball career.

In fact, it looks like the best is yet to come.

I’ve been thinking of names a lot lately: first names, last names, nicknames.

You see, there’s a new contest that just started up that has very much to do with a local attraction.

The New Britain Rock Cats baseball team, set to move to Hartford for the 2016 season, are hosting a “Name the Team” con-test, which began Feb. 17. The beginning of the contest coincided with the groundbreaking cer-emony for the new sta-dium, which took place the same day.

With so much excite-ment over the events taking place, I figured I’d throw a name I came up with for the team into consideration.

The Hartford Logjams.It’s got a nice ring to it,

don’t you think? Yeah, I didn’t think so myself.

Then again, baseball in Hartford doesn’t re-ally have a nice ring to it either.

Don’t get me wrong: baseball anywhere is a fantastic thing. Local high school baseball teams have enjoyed varying levels of success aplenty over the last few years.

In our neck of the woods, and variation of the game played with a bat, ball, and glove has seemingly found success.

Yet for some reason, the powers-that-be are removing a small piece of local success for petty reasons.

While the Rock Cats haven’t been a threat to win the Eastern League – let alone the Eastern Division – in the past couple of years, they’ve remained a mainstay in central Connecti-

100 DAYS DOWN ...

Kindergartners at Frank T. Wheeler Elementary School recently celebrated the 100th day of school with several activities, including counting by ones and 10s up to 100, making hats with 10 strips of 10, and counting 100 steps in the hallway. Principal Andrew Batchelder is pictured with kindergartners.

Hartford

cut since the organization’s inception in 1983. Since that time, other minor league teams have bounced around from New Haven to Norwich, but never Hartford.

Why not Hartford? Good question. I don’t have a de-tailed answer for you, but I can take an educated guess: baseball in Hartford never would have worked.

Heck, the city couldn’t even keep a National Hockey League team around.

Or a minor league football team.

It couldn’t even adjust to a name change from the Wolfpack to the Whale, so the team reverted back to the original name.

What would make the city think a slower-paced, longer sporting event will last?

And why remove a team that has successfully drawn in fans year after year in New Britain?

Once again, a very good question. And, once again, I still don’t have a detailed answer.

But the powers-that-be do.

They believe bringing base-ball to Hartford will revitalize the city in the summertime and make it more appealing to those who work long days in the big business industry.

While I can’t speak on their behalf, something tells me the last thing anyone working in the big business industry would want to do at the end of a long day is make that day even longer by attending a three-hour baseball game. Or sit in bumper to bumper traffic for an extra hour due to the congestion caused on game days. Which is where my submission for the “Name the Team” contest comes into

play.Everyone loves a good

team name that’s fitting for the city and the surrounding area. Since traffic is already a (add word of your choosing) during rush hour, why not praise the thing that people love about driving through the city so much? Logjams!

I’ve got to admit, I’m scratching the bottom of the barrel on name ideas as it is. Maybe it’s because I wasn’t cut out to brand baseball teams for a living.

Or maybe, just like my name submission, the idea of baseball in Hartford just doesn’t work.
