By Ken LipshezThe Plainville Citizen

Plainville High School senior golferRichard Hanson has his future lined up likea two-foot putt on a level green.

He wants to be a golf professional, prefer-ably in the area, and has a firm plan in placefor the next five years, but first things first.Hanson has his sights set on challenging toa top slot in the ultra-competitive CCC golftournament and positive placement for histeam in the Division III tournament.

Hanson, like so many athletically in-clined Plainville youths, was gearing up toplay baseball when something happened onthe way to the diamond. The neatlytrimmed fairways and greens of TunxisPlantation in Farmington captured hisheart.

“In about eighth grade I was getting tiredof playing baseball, so me and my buddiesstarted to get into golf,” he said. “They took

me out and I wasn’t that good, but I was re-ally competitive when I was younger. Theywere getting good and it motivated me to getbetter.”

Hanson is at the top of the class now. Hewas named to the All-CCC South team as asophomore and junior. Last year, he was onestroke away from finishing in the top 10 atthe CCC tournament and both he and theteam qualified for the Division III tourna-ment at Crestbrook Park in Watertown. Theteam finished 18th and Hanson was 21st in-dividually with an 84.

“The goals are to qualify individually andget the entire team to qualify, but we lost acouple of key players,” Hanson said. “It’sdifficult. We lost our No. 1 from last year(Andrew Chapman) and we’re trying tobring others to that level.”

One of them is current No. 2 MikeCostantini, who is among the friends that

Relic Brewing owner Mark Sigman stands in his Whit-ing Street brewery with a glass of his own beer.

By Julie SopchakThe Plainville Citizen

Relic Brewing may nothave the same weight as oth-er beer brands like Budweis-er or Coors, but Mark Sigmanis finding a niche for himselfin the world of craft beers.

Tucked away in a small in-dustrial space on WhitingStreet, Sigman opened Relicin February 2012, creating avariety of different beers toappeal to the tastes of beerlovers near and far.

“We do a lot of unusualrecipes that are just differentfrom what other people aredoing,” Sigman said.

Because Relic is a smallerbrewery, Sigman gets moretime to experiment with newflavors, like orange blossomhoney, lavender, or vanillabeans. He said they are alsocoming out with a rye lager

and a Belgian triple wheat.The brewery did make some-what of a splash when Sig-man opened with his firstbeer, Antiquity, an old, Eng-lish-style ale described asdark and sweetened with mo-lasses.

“Nobody opens with an oldale, so it just set us apart im-mediately, and we attracted alot of attention amongst the

people who were seriouslyinto beer,” Sigman said.

What also got people look-ing in Sigman’s directionwere the labels he used forhis beers. Formerly a com-puter programmer for Pri-macy, a large marketingfirm, Sigman is friends withgraphic designers of the

Proposed construction to makeNorthwest Drive safer for students


The Town of Plainville isproposing safety improve-ments to Northwest Drive be-tween the driveways of Tof-folon Elementary School andMiddle School of Plainvillein accordance to the FederalSafe Routes to School pro-gram.

The town has been award-ed a grant from the Depart-ment of Transportation thatwill cover 100 percent of theproposed project’s estimated$450,000 price tag.

Town Engineer JohnBossi said there was an in-terest to improving pedestri-

an safety around the schoolarea for kids crossing thestreet.

“There was some concernby people that speeds in thatgeneral area are excessive,”Bossi said. “People had theimpression that the safety ofpeople crossing the road wascompromised by the speed.”

The work, he said, will fo-cus on speed humps with atextured crosswalk at eachschool driveway, sidewalkimprovements, and a road-way median.

MSP Principal MatthewGuarino said the construc-tion will be a positive thingand he is looking forward tohaving the improvements

done to the area.“We’ve been trying to en-

courage kids to walk or biketo school more and more andthe situation of crossingNorthwest Drive is not ide-al,” Guarino said. “And thisought to improve things dra-matically.”

Toffolon Principal LynnLogoyke said the improve-ments will benefit the safetyof children during and afterschool hours. She said it doesseem like cars are speedingat times.

“We’re looking forward tohaving some attention paidto making the walk to school

State Rep. Elizabeth “Bet-ty” Boukus got a taste ofPlainville’s diverse industri-al culture on April 22 whenshe toured DisplayCraft, lo-cated on South WashingtonStreet.

Since 1957, the companyhas specialized in displayand marketing strategies.Originally started in Man-chester, the company moved

to Plainville where it cur-rently sits in a 90,000 square-foot facility with about 22employees. Rooted in town,DisplayCraft caters to clientsin the U.S. and international-ly.

President Richard Seigarshas run the company since1997, with a background inconstruction, welding, andmachinery. He said the com-pany offers a wide and com-plete range of services thatincludes marketing, design,

exhibit fabrication, graphicdesign and production, showsite services coordination,and shipping – a “bag oftricks,” as Seigars put it.

“This is a business ofmany talents,” Seigars said.

The one thing DisplayCraftdoesn’t do is physically set upthe displays created. Instead,they contract laborers to dothat, while sending someone

How Well Do You Manage Your Daily Stress?Collaborative Psychiatric Services is now offering stress management sessionsin its Plainville offices located at 58 West Main St. Six one hour classes will beginat 6:00 P.M. Monday May 13th 2013 and continue every Monday until June 17th.

“Stress” is one of the most common words used in society today and aphenomenon that each one of us will experience at some point in our life. Stressaffects people of all ages, professions and life situations.

Stress is subjective to each individual; what can be considered a stressful event byone person may be less stressful to another. Therefore, stress is not caused by theevent itself, but how an individual interprets the situation and deals with it. Whenan individual cannot cope with the demands placed on them and begins to feelnegatively, this is considered a stress response.

So what do we do about stress in our lives? How do we deal with it? Prevent it?That’s where this course comes in. Working through the lessons in this course willhelp you understand the origins of your stress and provide you with a practicalapproach for reducing stress in your life and thus, improving your health andemotional well being.

Please contact Collaborative Psychiatric Services at 860-517-8557 for moreinformation and to take that first step in managing the stress in your life.

We hope to see you soon!!!

convinced Hanson to play afew years back. Hanson saidthat junior Nick Lea hasmade great strides since hisfreshman year, and he’s im-pressed with the plummetingscores being turned in byfirst-year sophomore NickD’Amico.

Plainville coach SteveGuerriero is impressed theway three freshman withconsiderable potential – Ja-cob Nilson, Jarod Ronkiwand Taylor Rogers – look upto Hanson for guidance,which he readily and happilydispenses.

“They say it’s an individ-ual sport but it’s a team sportto us because we help eachother,” Hanson said. “Wehelp each other read puttsand calm down after a badhole. We encourage each oth-er to do better. We don’t put

anybody down because we’reall gunning for the same goal.We go to the driving range to-gether and bond together.We’re like a family.”

He would like to finishamong the top five in the CCCtournament.

“That would prove that allmy years of practice havepaid off,” he said. “Then I def-initely want to qualify as anindividual for the state tour-nament.”

He’ll require 10 scores thatfall within five strokes of theratings at the coursesPlainville plays.

Hanson has well-definedplans after his graduation inJune. He will attend FloridaGulf Coast University in FortMyers, where he will partici-pate in the Professional GolfManagement Program.

“There are only 20 schoolsthat have it and each allowsonly 20 kids,” he said. “It’squite competitive.

“I’ll get my degree in busi-

ness management and ClassA PGA certification. I’lllearn how to go about teach-ing and about the latestequipment.

“From there, after four anda half or five years, I’ll be-come an assistant pro in thearea. After being an assistantfor five to seven years, I canbecome a head pro and run afacility.”

Hanson has worked atFarmington Woods, a privatecourse on the Farmington-Avon line, since he was 16. Heis beginning work with theFarmington Woods pro –George DeVita – on a pro-gram to more readily placegolf clubs in the hands ofschool-age children. He alsoworks summers at StanleyGolf Course in New Britain.

“He basically lives forgolf,” Guerriero said. “He’sup on the latest golf knowl-edge. The kids like him andhe extends himself to them.”

company, like Kieran Mc-Cabe, who designed the labelfor Antiquity.

His labels got so much at-tention, in fact, that Antiqui-ty’s label was chosen forCNBC’s Beer Label Madness,a competition formatted tothe style of NCAA’s MarchMadness. Sixty-four beersfrom around the countrywere chosen to take part,something Sigman said was“pure luck,” being that thereare about 12,000 labels in thecountry.

McCabe used an image ofthe “green man” as the focalpoint of the label. KnowingAntiquity would be Sigman’sfirst beer produced, hethought the green man couldrepresent that, and also thebeer’s style.

“[It] represents the begin-ning, spring time, and thefirst of things,” McCabe said.“But the green man also isthis thing that hangs on theoutside of a lot of Britishpubs, so it was somethingthat I thought had kind of adual meaning.”

The label made it past thefirst round, beating ShipyardBrewing Company, but thenlost to Tröegs Brewing Com-pany, the eventual contestwinner.

McCabe has done threeother labels for Relic, but Sig-man also gets requests fromother artists who want to cre-ate labels for him.

“Lot of really attractive la-bels,” Sigman said. “Definite-ly really professional, reallywell-done labels.”

Sigman also hangs art-work on the walls of his tast-ing room from artists likeKristen Mixter, who hand-drew a couple labels for him.

Originally from Simsbury,brewing began as a hobby forSigman in the mid-90s whenhe lived in Jackson Hole,Wyo., where craft brewing isquite popular. At that point,he said there was “hardlyanything” going on like thatin Connecticut.

“I just got in with a groupof people that were all doingit and became like an impor-tant hobby,” he said.

Sigman brews and distrib-utes beers himself. Roughly,on a weekly basis, he will getbrewing help from JD Cran-

dall, bar manager at Eli Can-non’s in Middletown. The bar,known for its large inventoryof craft beers, was Sigman’sfirst client and he and Cran-dall, an avid home brewerhimself, struck up a relation-ship.

“I just kind of wanted tolearn more about brewing ona larger scale, and he offeredme an opportunity,” Crandallsaid. “So I get here as often asI can.”

The brewery is open to thepublic on Fridays, 4 to 7 p.m.,and Saturdays, noon to 3 p.m.,with a rotating lineup of Sig-man’s own crafts. Additional-ly, Sigman said he plans tohave food trucks and other at-tractions over the summer todraw in more crowds.

“People love not alwaysgetting the same thing all thetime,” he said.

Relic beers can be found ontap in town at J. Timothy’sTaverne and 50 West Bistro.Relic is also on the shelves atWorldwide Wine & Spirits inSouthington.

By State Sen. Jason Welch

Are people taking advan-tage of the system? Sadly, theanswer is yes.

Fraud accounts for mil-lions of dollars in state gov-ernment waste every year.Historically, the fraud with-in programs goes undetect-ed and unreported. One bla-tant example of this wastewas the food stamp messlinked to the Nor’easter of2011, which proved the stateis not managing its re-sources with accuracy or ac-countability.

As you well remember,this storm knocked out pow-er and left many withoutfood and shelter. A monthlater, thousands of peoplelined up around the state atthe department of socialservices’ regional offices toapply for the disaster sup-

plemental nutrition assis-tance program (DSNAP).The threshold for qualifyingwas very low, and many re-cipients never showed prop-er identification to provethey were supposed to getthe help. This resulted inmillions of dollars beinghanded out with no ques-tions asked.

State auditors later filed areport that shows the De-partment of Social Serviceswas overwhelmed and neverstopped to take a step backand review what it was do-ing in order to get controlover the situation. Theywere planning on receiving

Abuse of system ‘unconscionable’ Easier access tomental health care

goal of Malloy’s planPress Release

Gov. Dannel P. Malloylast week announced a newcollaboration between theConnecticut Insurance De-partment and the UConnHealth Center will helpfamilies struggling to getmental health treatmentpaid through their insur-ance.

“No one should have toovercome mountains ofred tape when they are try-ing to access mental healthservices,” Malloy said.“This collaboration allowsus to leverage the respec-tive expertise of the Insur-ance Department and theUConn Health Center toput in place a common-sense approach to what canbe a profoundly frustratingprocess.”

The Insurance Depart-ment and UConn HealthCenter are developing auser-friendly ‘claims toolkit’ for policyholders andproviders, especially out-of-network providers whooperate on cash basis. Thegoal is to reduce the num-ber of insurance denials bycreating a plain-language

claims template specific tobehavioral health treat-ment that policyholdersand practitioners can sub-mit to insurance compa-nies for reimbursement. Itis intended to help themquickly and accurately pre-pare claims submissions toreflect medical necessityand increase the number ofclaims approved on initialsubmissions.

“It’s been the depart-ment’s observations thatincomplete or incorrect in-formation, coding errors,and other documentationissues are often the causeof claims denials requiringmultiple appeals. We don’twant families having tofight to get the care theyneed,” said Deputy Insur-ance Commissioner AnneMelissa Dowling, who over-sees the Department’shealth insurance initia-tives.

Scheduled for comple-tion this summer, theclaims tool kit is the first ina series of behavioralhealth projects the Insur-ance Department and

3,000 applications and theygot 25,000 applications thatday. This is a 55 percent errorrate, which is outrageous.And the plan was not adjust-ed. Workers could have sim-ply asked questions aboutproper verification, and thatalone might have given peo-ple pause.

Another example of wastecomes in the form of statedebit cards which are givenfor cash assistance. One tele-vision station in our statedid an investigation for a pe-riod of three months in 2011and found ATM withdrawalsat questionable spots aroundthe state including stripclubs and tobacco shops.

It’s outrageous and dis-couraging that taxpayer dol-lars meant to help people arebeing abused. When youneed assistance it should bethere. The abuse of the sys-tem is what’s uncon-scionable.

These examples provethere needs to be oversightby the legislature. In recentyears republicans have sug-gested adding 26 fraud pre-vention positions in the De-partment of Social Servicesand assigning that unit tothe Division of CriminalJustice. It is believed thiswill result in millions of dol-lars in savings over time. An

Huskies have qualities worth admiringBy Kyle Swartz

Special to The Citizen

Athletes of all ages takenote: there’s much to learnfrom the recent national titlerun by the University of Con-necticut women’s basketballteam.

This March Madness victo-ry, the program’s record-ty-ing eighth, was unlike manyof the team’s past champi-onships. Back in February, itdidn’t seem like a foregoneconclusion that UConn girls— while obviously quite tal-ented — would win with theirusual dominance once brack-ets began. The Husky womendidn’t even capture the Big

East tournament, falling inthat title game to NotreDame, UConn’s third lossagainst the Fighting Irish in2012-13. No, this squad did notresemble unbeatable jugger-nauts led by luminaries likeDiana Taurasi or MayaMoore in prior years.

So what happened? Howdid these comparatively-less-er Huskies end up realizingchampionship game triumphby the largest margin in his-tory? Of course, helping wasa historic scoring streakthroughout March by fresh-man superstar Breanna Stew-art. But one player a title-winning squad does notmake.

“We are delighted to workwith the Insurance Depart-ment on this important ini-tiative and to share ourworld-class psychiatric andclinical expertise,” said Dr.Frank M. Torti, UConnHealth Center ExecutiveVice President for Health Af-fairs and Dean of the Med-ical School. “This project has

the potential to improve thequality of life for so many ofour families and especiallythe children.”

About 1.8 million Con-necticut residents — roughlyhalf of Connecticut’s popu-lation — have private or em-ployer insurance plans.

(From the office of Gov.Dannel Malloy.)

additional 12 positions wouldbe dedicated to Medicaidfraud detection and 75 per-cent of the costs would bepaid by the federal govern-ment.

Fraud Prevention andRecovery details:

Add 12 new positions tothe state’s Medicaid FraudControl Unit for a total of 21positions in the Unit. Seven-ty five percent of the cost ispaid for by the federal gov-ernment. Expected savings:$7 million per additional po-sition or $84 million total.

Transfer existing fraudprevention staff at the De-partment of Social Servicesto the Division of CriminalJustice. This will eliminateany conflict of interest.

Add 26 more positions tothe social services fraud pre-vention unit. Expected sav-ings: $700,000 per new posi-tion or $18.2 million total.

Eliminate the Earned In-come Tax Credit. The IRShas reported as much as 28percent of payments to befraudulent. Expected savings(revenue gain): $116.5 mil-lion.

Sen. Welch represents Dis-trict 31 including the towns ofThomaston, Plainville, Ply-mouth, Bristol and Harwin-ton.

Statements after the vic-tory by the team’s perfec-tionist-yet-humble coachGeno Auriemma speak towhat it takes to win. Asquoted by numerous newssources, describing his girlsas March Madness unfolded,Auriemma recounted, “Ourplayers just collectively de-cided to give up a little ofthemselves. Before that, wewere a team of good players,but right after that we be-came a great team. It was anamazing transformation.”

It’s a remark commonlymade by coaches after theirsquads excel. Success neces-sitates teamwork weddedwith self-sacrifice. Onceplayers understand and ac-cept their roles in the largerpicture of sports-programachievement, then a rosterof individuals can meld into

a single unit, difficult to de-feat for its multifaceted ca-pabilities.

People who watchedUConn thrash Louisville 93-60 for the championshipmay recall an observationmade by one of the televi-sion announcers. Althoughthe Connecticut women’sbasketball program doesn’tpromote selfish play, it doesallow for superstars. Whenstarters and bench playersunderstand where they fitin the overall team struc-ture, extraordinary athleteslike Taurasi, Moore andStewart can flourish andlead versatile squads to ulti-mate accomplishment.

Auriemma had otherpost-game comments — inline with his usual sports-manship — which deserveconsideration. Talking on

live television and into astadium microphone, he ap-plauded the unlikely title-game run by Louisville, afifth-seed which his first-seeded Huskies had just de-molished. Then, having justtied the eight-championshiprecord held by Tennesseecoach Pat Summitt, Auriem-ma commended his long-time rival as “the best coachin women’s basketball histo-ry.”

Teamwork, sacrifice, andhumility in victory: theseare true foundations of achampion, inspiring quali-ties all athletes should lookto appreciate better fromthe newly crowned UConnLady Huskies.

to the site to supervise thesetup.

Boukus toured the build-ing and was impressed withthe company’s facilities andoperations.

“It’s fascinating what’s be-ing done in this small town,”Boukus said.

Director of Economic De-velopment Mark DeVoe saidthough he drives by the busi-ness frequently, he wasn’tquite abreast to the goings-oninside the building.

“I always knew it was a cre-ative business,” DeVoe said,

“but it’s amazing to see theartwork being created.”

Boukus, DeVoe, andPlainville Chamber of Com-merce Office Manager Mau-reen Saverick toured the spa-cious building, with roomsfilled with graphics and con-struction equipment.

In a year, Seigars said Dis-playCraft produces about1,200 to 1,500 exhibits thatcater to all kinds of needs ofthe client. Most of the time,Seigars said, the clientsaren’t entirely sure of whatthose needs are, promptingthe company to do some re-connaissance work.

“We take that informationand we develop a plan that

mixes well with their mar-keting objectives,” Seigarssaid.

While DisplayCraft hasmanaged to stay active, ithasn’t been impervious tothe recession. It’s been a“tough three years,” accord-ing to Seigars.

“If history teaches us any-thing,” DeVoe said, “Con-necticut comes out of thesethings later than anyone elsefor some reason.”

The trade show and dis-play business, Seigars said,when adding all the compo-nents of it together, makes itthe fifth largest industry inthe country.

safer for children,” Logoykesaid.

She added the bulk of stu-dents who will benefit mostfrom the improvements aremiddle school kids who walkfrom the neighborhoods be-hind Toffolon to MSP. Addi-tionally, kids who want to usethe fields at the middle schoolor playground at Toffolon af-ter school who have to crossthe street will be safer whenthere is no crossing guard –there is a crossing guard dur-ing arrival and dismissaltimes.

“I think the benefit of itwill be beyond the school

day,” Logoyke said.“We’re lucky we have that

person,” Guarino said of thecrossing guard, “but they’renot there all day.”

Currently in the designstage, if approved, the projectwill likely be completed overthe summer in 2014. Bossisaid the construction should-n’t take more than a monthand a half to complete.

“It’s not a very big proj-ect,” he said.

“I think the proposal, fromwhat I’ve read, will make thewhole street a safer place forchildren,” Logoyke said.

Bossi said other schools inthe district were reviewed,but none met the criterianeeded for the grant.

Plainville softball comes up short in battle of unbeatenBy Ken Lipshez

The Plainville Citizen

The bench wasn’t long andPlainville High softball coach JenMicowski was forced to makechanges on the fly.

A knee injury to catcher AlexisRuscito and the uncertain status ofsenior Jacqui Wuchert, who beganthe season as the Lady Blue Devils’primary pitcher, elicited change inthe lineup.

Nevertheless, Plainville had beat-en all comers through five games,until Maloney came calling on April18.

The Devils swung the bats welland held their own in the field, butthe Lady Spartans, ranked fourth inthe state in a downstate poll of

coaches and writers, doled out a 10-4thrashing at Alumni Field.

“I like the energy we have and theexcitement I have out of the playersthat are on the field,” Micowski said.“I can’t complain.

“I’m happy with how we played. Iknow that the score looks kind oflike we weren’t in the game, but Ithink we were with them every stepof the way until the last few innings.I’m pleased with how we played as ateam and how we stuck together.”

A three-run rally in the fourth in-ning brought Plainville within one at5-4, but Maloney (6-0, 2-0 CCC South)tallied twice in both the fifth andsixth frames. Maloney leadoff hitterArielle Virgulto (4-for-4, walk, 3runs) hit her second solo homer ofthe game in the seventh to account

for the final run.The middle of the Plainville order

was productive. Cheyenne Dalke,shifted from first base to catcherwhile Ruscito mends, ripped a pair oftriples and scored twice on identicalsingles to left field by Katy Dressel.

“A lot of [our growth] is due to thesenior leadership we have,” Micows-ki said. “I have two great captains inKaty Dressel and Cheyenne Dalke,who set the tone every day.”

Sophomore Rachael Lancaster, theshortstop now being asked to dosome pitching, singled and scored ona hit by sophomore Nicole Basile, abeneficiary of the changes who be-gan the year as a utility player.

Defensively, the afternoon’s gemsbelonged to hustling second base-man Danielle Angelillo. Angelillo

gunned down a baserunner trying toscore on a delayed double steal, andthen ended the inning with a divingcatch of a pop fly in foul territory be-hind first base.

“We executed some first-and-thirdplays in the field,” Micowski said. “Ifwe could come up with the ball clean-ly in the outfield to contest some ofthe runs from scoring late in thegame that might have made a differ-ence, but we’re working on it. We’reyoung.”

Basile pitched the first three in-nings, and then swapped positionswith Lancaster for the final four.

“We had to replace our pitcherthis week but we were going to haveto replace her in the future so I might

Former PHS pitcher Martinturning things around at Stafford High


The rivalry fires still flick-er when former PlainvilleHigh pitcher Scott Martin en-ters the lair of the BerlinRedcoats.

But Martin’s life in base-ball has come full circle fromthose spirited high schooldays. He was still wearingthat familiar color blue onhis latest return to SagePark, but the cap was embla-zoned with an ‘S’ – forStafford High School. Mar-tin, a 1995 PHS grad, is in hiseighth season as head coachat the Class S school afterplaying professionally forfour seasons.

Martin reaped the benefitsof playing for both retiredPlainville coach RobFreimuth and Leo Veleas,who is now in his 26th yearmentoring the Redcoats. Ve-leas was his coach when heplayed for the MiddletownGiants of the New EnglandCollegiate Baseball Leaguein 1997 and 1998.

The blue in his heart andthe red that rubbed off onhim during the Giants yearsdim the rivalry flame a little,

but it still simmers within.“A little bit but not a whole

lot,” Martin said Saturday, af-ter his Stafford club droppedan 8-2 verdict to the Redcoats.“It’s different teams now andit’s a different thing coach-ing, but I don’t forget. Thingsgo on when I see Leo overthere and I saw some of theold Berlin guys over there,too.

“Definitely some of itseeps back to where wewere.”

Martin graduated fromPlainville in 1995, hisscholastic career capped by a15-3 stomping of Maloney inthe Class L final. The BlueDevils won ‘L’ crowns in 1992and 1993, and finished secondto South Windsor in 1994.

He went on to pitch fourseasons at CCSU, where heremains second in careerstrikeouts. He was subse-quently selected in the 17thround by the Los AngelesDodgers in the 1999 amateurdraft and turned in two solidcampaigns in Class A. Whenthe Dodgers released him, hepitched two seasons of inde-pendent league ball beforeembarking on a career in ed-ucation.

The young men of Staffordreap the benefits.

“The town itself has em-braced our style of play,” hesaid. “I tried to bring a lot ofthe Plainville aspects into itas far as hard work, little de-tails. We try to minimize themistakes. It’s been a good

journey for us.”He’s brought the program

along methodically since the1-19 finish the year before hearrived. The Bulldogs didnot qualify for the states intwo of his first three years.But in his fourth season –2009 – Stafford (17-8) went all

the way to the ‘S’ final beforelosing to Notre Dame-Fair-field. The Bulldogs havemade the states in three ofthe last four years and areheaded in that direction thisseason with the Berlin loss

“That’s a very good soft-ball team we played againsttoday and our conference isfull of them,” she said. “Wehave to be willing to comeprepared and work hard inpractice so the few mistakeswe did make we limit in thefuture. …

“In my opinion we play inthe toughest division in theCCC softball-wise so teamsare all beating each other. It’sgoing to be who’s off andwho’s on that day.”

The loss was Plainville’sfirst after five straight winsto start the campaign.

“We liked the feel of get-

Maloney coach ScottAresco, whose team re-turned from its Florida tripabout 12 hours before gametime and had to attend schoolin between, acknowledgedthat his team had been in atussle.

“This was the third teamin a row we played that wasundefeated,” he said. “We’replaying some pretty goodcompetition.”

Maloney stranded 12 run-ners and had two gunneddown at the plate. Plainvilleleft two runners aboard.

He jumped to advancedClass A California Leaguethe next year, pitching in 33games (12 starts) for the SanBernadino Stampede. Heyielded fewer hits, fewerhome runs and raised hisstrikeout numbers but wasreleased by the Dodgers.

He pitched in the non-affil-iated Northern League withthe Sioux Falls Canaries in2001, posting a team-high 12victories (12-4, 3.45 ERA, 19games), and then briefly withthe Long Island Ducks of theAtlantic League.

DON’T LET CONNECTICUT OFFICIALS REMOVEYOUR RIGHT TO KNOW FROM THE NEWSPAPER.

Visit www.ctdailynews.com to contact your legislator today

Pending legislation may remove your right to readpublic notices in newspapers, moving them from thepublic domain to government controlled web sites.We’re concerned. And you should be, too.

Public notices are an important tool in assuring aninformed citizenry. They have helped developAmerica into a participatory democracy for hundredsof years and where it counts the most: how your taxdollars are spent, how policy is made and how ourfutures are charted.

They are located in easy-to-find sections of yournewspaper. And they are fully accessible to everyone- unlike the internet, which is not accessible toeveryone.

Less than 10% of the U.S. population views a local,state or federal government website daily, accordingto the May 2009 release of U.S. Census Bureau,Annual Estimates of Resident Population.

This means more than nine out of ten people maynever see a given notice.

This compares dramatically to the fact that 83% ofadults read a community newspaper every week,according to the National Newspaper Association.

Furthermore, a public notice printed in thenewspaper produces a permanent record. The internetdoes not, nor does it assure timeliness. And anewspaper is archived for years; not subject tocomputer crashes and hackers.

Newspapers are easily verifiable, fully transparentand represent a secure third party who has nothing togain from any notice.

Connecticut’s recent ethical lapses shed a glaringlight on the full meaning of this problem. It’s likeputting the fox in charge of the hen house.

Every public notice, which runs in a Connecticutdaily newspaper, is automatically uploaded to thatnewspaper’s web site and CTPublicNotices.org.

Newspapers are your watchdogs. Don’t let thatrole be changed now. Voice your opinion.

To keep your notices in the newspaper, contactyour local legislator to oppose Senate Bill #1112 - AnAct Concerning the Publication of Legal Notices byMunicipalities.
