“Bullying happens to everyone,” Sarah E.Brzozowy, a consultant for State EducationResource Center, said. “You may have beenbullied. I know I was.”

While it may not be possible for parentsto shield their children from some type ofbullying, Brzozowy led a seminar at GraceLutheran Church Sept. 25, to equip parentswith the tools to handle most bullying-relat-ed situations.

To an intimate group of concerned par-ents and guardians, Brzozowy broachedtopics such as cyberbullying, Connecticutbullying laws and tips for concerned par-

ents of bully victims and bullies.Formerly a teacher at the Middle School of

Plainville, Brzozowy has been actively in-volved in the town (her mom, Susie Woerz,works for the Plainville Food Pantry) and, assuch, has a personal investment in the town.

She’s been a teacher, administrator, andshe has two kids of her own to worry about,too.

“I understand this issue from all aspects,”she said, “and my perspective changes de-pending on the situation.”

As a parent, Brzozowy urged other parentsto know where their school stood on bullyingand to be aware of what rights families have.

She was just one ofmore than 1,000 peoplewho die at the hands ofdomestic violence eachyear. In fact, 5.4 million in-cidents of intimate part-ner violence occur each

year in the United States.Which is why Prudence

Adventures with Obi

The dog whispererBy Crystal MaldonadoThe Plainville Citizen

“I see a helicopter mom inthe making.”

It’s what a friend of minesaid to me a few weeks backwhen I jokingly explainedObi was getting a big ego. Ihad meant it playfully, andmy friend did, too, but shewas also sort of seriouswhen she told me I was a“helicopter parent (noun): acolloquial term for a parentwho pays extremely close at-tention to their child’s orchildren’s experiences andproblems, so named because,like helicopters, they hover

overhead; also called over-parenting.”

Nuh uh, I thought indig-nantly, and forgot about thecomment.

Until I met ValerieBilodeau, the goddess.

At least, I’m pretty sureshe’s a goddess, after my dogobedience classmates and Iviewed the command she hasover her beautiful black-haired German Shepherdnamed Dante. She and Danteare the perfect team. Theycommunicate with simplehand signals and are so insync that Dante can tellwhether he’s supposed toheel or stay just by observingwhether Valerie steps firstwith her right leg or her left.(I would be lying if I didn’tsay I went home and showedBill how this worked andkept talking about how “to-tally amazing” it was.)

Watching Valerie workwith Dante Saturday morn-ing at Norton Park was a lit-tle bit like what I imagineit’d be like to see Mozartworking a piano. My class-mates and I (all women,mind you, except for an en-thusiastic young dog ownerthere with his mom – dog-

Grant restores fullhome value


At the Sept. 17 councilmeeting, Town ManagerRobert E. Lee said theTown of Plainville has re-quested $600,000 to helprectify damages to RobertStreet Ext. and ForestvilleAvenue homes as a resultof last year’s HurricaneIrene.

Of the homes that weredamaged, 14 homeownersagreed to the HazardousMitigation Grant Pro-gram buyout. Homeown-ers would sell their homesfor 75 percent of theirhome’s assessed value,prior to last year’s flood-ing.

This grant would coverthe 25 percent differencebetween the grant andeach home’s worth.

The money still needsto be authorized by statebond commissions.

“Most likely, all homeswould be eligible,” Leesaid.

The Hazardous Mitiga-tion Grant Program is justone part of the town’s ef-fort to assist with priorhurricane damage and todeal with future naturaldisasters.

Plainville will also bepart of the Bristol-Plainville-Plymouth Pe-quabuck River FloodingStudy, which would lookat ways to mitigate futurefloods and improve eco-nomic development op-portunities. A compre-hensive flood recoveryplan will be developed tohelp in the recoveryprocess, should a flood oc-cur.

domestic violence,” MaryannDrennen, manager of Com-munity Outreach for Pru-dence Crandall Center, said.“It’s also an opportunity for usto fill individuals who are at-tending with hope and encour-agement.

The Oct. 4 vigil will includean award presentation tothree community partners –Community Health Center ofNew Britain, CommunityMental Health Affiliates ofNew Britain and OpportunityIndustrialization Center ofNew Britain – that offer clini-cal and professional servicesto Prudence clients.

“Each one of those organi-zations comes here and offerssome type of service that as-sist our clients in getting thehelp they need to get back onthe road to recovery and inde-pendence,” Drennen said.

Then attendees will have achance to hear stories of thosewho have been impacted.

“Two survivors are going tobe sharing their stories aswell. In addition to the remem-

brance and the solemn natureof the event, we want to offerhope and encouragement,”she said. “That’s really whatthe vigil is about.”

Throughout the month,Prudence Crandall will havepamphlets and informationavailable at various librariesin Central Connecticut, start-ing with New Britain andBerlin Public Libraries fromOct. 1 through Oct. 7, Bristoland Plainville Public Li-braries from Oct. 8 throughOct. 14, Terryville Public Li-brary from Oct. 15 throughOct. 21 and Southington andBurlington Public Librariesfrom Oct. 22 through Oct. 28.

“The Clothesline Project”,a nation-wide initiative, willbe held in New Britain later inthe month, on Oct. 17.

“What that entails is a visi-ble representation of T-shirtsthat were made by survivorsof domestic violence withmessages that mean some-thing to them,” Drennen said.“It’s just an opportunity for usto raise awareness on the is-sue, to let people know thatthey’re not alone, that help isavailable, to recognize the dif-ferent types of violence and

what people can do to help.”Raising awareness on the

difficult subject is crucial toPrudence Crandall Center’sinitiative. On Oct. 26, the cen-ter encourages schools, localbusinesses and residents towear purple, the color of do-mestic violence.

“This is one of those thingsthat often people suffer in si-lence because they reallydon’t know that domestic vio-lence has several forms. It’snot just physical abuse,” shesaid. “It could be emotionalabuse. It could be financialabuse. It could be verbalabuse. It could be sexualabuse.”. “It’s another way toraise awareness, make itknown that that this is a prob-lem that’s among us every-where – in our workplace,suburbs, cities, schools, in ourchurches and in our civiccommunities. We just wantpeople to know that this hap-pens, but help is available.”

BullyingContinued from page 1

These days, Connecticutschools are required by law tobe proactive about bullying –to have a plan, to foster apeaceful environment and,most of all, to share theseplans with parents.

In Plainville, schools havestarted teaching studentshow to be peer advocatesagainst bullying. School offi-cials have also implementedPositive Behavioral Interven-tions and Supports, other-wise known as PBIS, a re-search-based system of sup-port that aims to foster a com-fortable, safe environmentfor all students.

Middle School of

Plainville, for example, im-plements PBIS through itsschool-wide expectations ofrespect and responsibility.

“Through those expecta-tions, students are taughthow to act,” Brzozowy said.

Parents may want to dis-cuss those expectations withtheir kids, or even opt to en-force those rules at home tomaintain consistency be-tween the two areas. Eitherway, just acknowledging theimportance of being positivecan be helpful, she said.

For those who suspectsomething may be going onwith their child, Brozozwysuggests calling a teacher tochat.

“They are there to help andthey want your child to besafe,” she said. “Teachers are

amazing at knowing whensomething is going on. Soask.”

But don’t just get involvedwith a child’s school life oncesomething goes wrong, shesaid.

“Just be involved,” shesaid. “you don’t have to doPTO or booster club… dosmall things, like ask howtheir day is going.”

For those who have alreadyreceived the dreaded phonecall that their child is pickingon other kids, Brozozwy hadthis to offer: you’re not alone.

“Parents of bullies some-times feel that there’s no sup-port for them,” she said. “Butnobody wants their kid tobully, so it’s important thoseparents feel like they have re-sources, too.”

One way for parents of so-called bullies to cope is to cel-ebrate when things go right.Brozozwy shared a fatherwho took his son out to din-ner following a report that,after days and weeks with re-ports of troublesome inci-dents, he hadn’t engaged inany forms of bullying thatday. His son didn’t bullyagain.

“Believe it or not, when

kids are in middle school,that’s when they value theirparents’ input and feelingsthe most,” Brozozwy said.“Even though we, as parents,are the most uncool peopleon the planet at that point,you want to celebrate them.”

For parents who suspecttheir child is a victim of bul-lying, Brozozwy urged themto know the law.

In Connecticut, bullying isdefined as either repeatedwritten, oral or electroniccommunication or commu-nication that causes a hostileenvironment between stu-dents who live within thesame school district.

So, for example, telling agirl one time that she is uglyis not bullying, but doing sorepeatedly would qualify.Hostile environments are

when a child feels unsafe orcan’t concentrate at school.

Next week, our BullyingPrevention Series looks atwhat the high school is doingto tackle bullying.

Because of the distinc-tions, Brozozwy said parentswho report bullying must bevery specific when they callthe schools. Yes, the school isrequired to investigate everyreport of bullying, but with-out facts to substantiate theclaims, it can be difficult totake action.

The law also requiresschools to step up its respon-sibility. To combat cyberbul-lying, which has increasedover the years, schools havebecome responsible for bul-lying that happens across so-

Big things in the works for Robertson AirportBy Ruth Sharp HummelSpecial to The Citizen

Robertson Airport inPlainville will be undergo-ing some necessary work onthe runway in the next fewmonths.

New paving and lightingwill greatly increase boththe safety and the appeal ofthe facility.

The 3,600 foot airstripwill also offer a pilot con-trolled night landing systemwhere by the lights may beactivated by a pilot when heis 12 miles out. These lightsare L.E.D. lamps and lowpower.

During the work on therunway, some plane ownersmay choose to leave theircraft on the side lines of thearea being paved. Otherswill be moved to other ven-ues including Meriden.

In discussing the upcom-ing work and other possibleimprovements with BillO’Leary, who owns Inter-

state Aviation and managesRobertson for the Town ofPlainville, I learned of someof the ideas that are beingtalked about.

New landing lights willbe imbedded in the runwayon both ends.

The small brown house atthe far end of the propertywill most likely be demol-ished as it sits on an ap-

proach to the runway: stillbeing discussed.

The giant hanger waydown near the street is alsostill an undecided question asto its future.

O’Leary is a friendly, smil-ing man. But don’t let thatfool you. He is a top notch pi-lot and businessman. As own-

er of Interstate Aviation andchief pilot, he flies two beau-tiful jet planes at the behest offolks seeking warmer climesin the winter or cool spots inthe summer months.

Our town manager, RobertE. Lee, is glad the long await-ed paving and lighting will(hopefully) soon begin. Leesaid these improvements willgreatly enhance the desirabil-ity of the airport. He also saidhe hopes that with improve-ments, more clubs and busi-nesses will want to holdevents there, such as thehugely successful “Wings andWheels” that drew 9,000 peo-ple; but which did not benefitthe town one cent.

Robert Mercer, member ofthe Plainville Aviation Com-mission, would like to seesome “T. Hangers” very pop-ular in other areas, whichmight be rented or sold.They accommodate not onlyan aircraft but also a smallroom for meetings or sleep-ing.

Mercer said he would alsolike to see more events thatbenefit the town and airport.

Robert Zirpolo, balloonistand pilot, would also like tosee more activities that bene-fit the town as well as ad-vance interest in aviation.Lee is an alternate on theaviation commission.

One suggestion made byseveral people, was for somesort of seating and perhapspicnic benches where peoplecould watch the planes,along the fence in comfort.

O’Leary took it one step

water pollution control facil-ity in 2008. He was placed onadministrative leave duringthe investigation and re-signed in December 2011.

Over a two-year period,Michelson is accused of tak-ing materials purchasedwith town money for his ownpersonal use, police said.Michelson ordered extra ma-terials for replacing the roofat the treatment plant thenused the extra roofing mate-rials to replace the roof at hishome in Waterbury, policesaid.

Michelson is also accusedof forging invoices, procur-ing town funds for personaluse, stealing a town-ownedcomputer and later attempt-ing to hide and destroy evi-dence, according to police.

The investigation also in-dicates Michelson filed sev-eral false nutrient analysisreports with the DEEP dur-ing 2010 and 2011, police said.Once he became aware of thepolice investigation, Michel-son tried to influence whatpotential witnesses wouldtell investigators, police said.

According to the arrest

warrant, Michelson told wa-ter pollution control employ-ees that if they had anythingto do with the anonymous let-ter, they would be fired. Healso threatened to sue thewriter for defamation ofcharacter and “take them foreverything,” according to thewarrant. The document citesseveral employees makingsimilar statements.

The document says whenan officer initially ques-tioned Michelson about thework on his roof, Michelsonsaid he didn’t need to stealfrom the town because he hada beach house in Narra-gansett, R.I. and that he in-herited a lot of money from adeceased relative.

The case remains under in-vestigation. Officials atDEEP said they could notcomment because of the on-going investigation. Michel-son could not be reached forcomment.

He was released on$100,000 bond and is sched-uled to appear in Bristol Su-perior Court Oct. 15.

Lee said the town hired anew superintendent for theplant in June.

cial media (Facebook, Twit-ter) or other forms of elec-tronic communication (textmessaging, instant messag-ing).

“The school now has juris-diction over that,” she said.“Even if you’re in your bed-room texting because it goesback to the idea of creating ahostile environment… If Idon’t want to go to school be-cause of something that’shappening on the weekend ata slumber party, that is nowthe school’s responsibility.”

It’s not just parents who

can report bullying, either.Students now have the op-tion to talk to any member ofschool staff, from a janitor toan athletic coach, and thatadult must then report it tothe proper people (usuallythe assistant principal or aschool counselor) and an in-vestigation is launched. Ifthe situation is deemed bul-lying, the school must pro-vide a workable solution –different than simply pun-ishing the bully or makingthe bully apologize.

“That just doesn’t work,”said Brozozwy, who also re-minded parents to be mind-ful of the fact that allegedbullies may have something

going on in his or her worldthat pushes them to act out.

“It’s so important to re-member that kids aren’tborn with bad behaviors.Kids are a product of theirenvironment,” she said.

Mostly, despite the mediafrenzy that insists bullying ismore dangerous than everand that parents are help-less, Brozozwy said that sim-ply isn’t true. Parents canhelp.

“Making sure that [yourchild] has a strong supportsystem,” she said, “justsomeone who cares aboutthem – it can be a grandpar-ent or an aunt or whoever –can make all the difference.”

ObiContinued from page 4

wanted to, because she’s thatgood.

Meanwhile, getting Obi notto yelp at the door when hehears a sound reminiscent toa knock is a daily struggle.

The biggest problem isn’thim, though. It’s me. I couldhear my friend’s commentechoing in the back of mymind as I listened to Valerieexplain that the root of Obi’sbarking issues were mostlikely because he was tooloved.

As if there is such a thing,being too loved! Well, there is,in the sense that he’s rubbedand petted and given treatsjust for existing and being ir-resistibly adorable. (Try re-sisting that face before youjudge.) It makes the treatslose meaning, while the pet-ting and attention becomesomething Obi constantly

craves. At this point, I can’teven give Bill a hug withoutObi barking and trying tobreak us apart.

So you can bet that as Va-lerie spoke, I was typingnotes into my phone asquickly as my fingers could. Iwanted to remember every-thing so I could bring it hometo Bill and Obi (who was notallowed at the first class, butwould be present at the next).When I left the class, whichran nearly an hour over be-cause we were all so fascinat-ed with the breadth of infor-mation Valerie had shared, Icouldn’t stop gushing to Billabout all the things I’dlearned.

“Did you know dogs areexcellent at reading body lan-guage?” I asked him. “That’sreally critical.”

“We shouldn’t be usingObi’s name in vain or associ-ate it with punishment.”

“We have to stop saying‘no’ as a catch-all because it

doesn’t mean a thing to him.” But even with all that in-

formation I told him – andthe homework sheet and thepractice commands we’resupposed to work on beforeour next class – I think whatmeant the most to Bill was apiece of information sharedwith me not from Valerie, butfrom a fellow classmate.

“I think everybody readsabout Obi,” she had said. “Ac-tually, your column is thereason I went out and adopt-ed a dog.”

Cue my heart swellingthree sizes.

Harriers sweep; boys soccer stays hotBlue Devil Notes

By Sean KrofssikSpecial to The Citizen

Neither driving rain nor aformidable Plainville defensecould stop Justin Potts frommaking his appointed roundsat Falcon Field in CCC Divi-sion III East action on Fridaynight.

The talented Platt seniorwas relentless on both sidesof the ball, totaling fourtouchdowns in a 28-13 Plattwin.

Potts rushed for three TDsand returned one of his twointerceptions to paydirt to ac-count for each of the Pan-thers scores. He carried theball 20 times and finishedwith 246 yards.

“This was the next step. Wejust moving forward,” Pottssaid. “We want to go unde-feated after Week 1.”

The Panthers are now 2-1overall and 2-0 in the divi-sion.

It was Plainville (0-3, 0-2),however, which drew firstblood. The Blue Devils con-trolled the line of scrimmageand ran their wishbone of-

fense effectively, headed byrunning back Joey Quintero(17 carries, 87 yards).

Plainville drove 70 yards

on 15 plays, chewing 6:25 offthe clock. The drive endedwith a Quintero 21-yard passreception from quarterback

Dean DeMartinis for a 7-0 ad-vantage for the visitors.

The Panthers answered ontheir second possession.Potts topped off an eight-playdrive from seven yards out.

He carried the ball on allbut one play on the drive. Onthe other, Potts took a screenpass from QB AndrewMcBride (4-for-9, 79 yards)for 19 yards on a third-and-14from the Plainville 32.

A Mike Barnett sackthwarted the Blue Devils’ en-suing drive. The junior line-man sacked DeMartinis (6-for-15, 123 yards) on a fourth-and-22 on the Platt 29.

Platt’s defense came up bigagain after the Pantherspunted. Potts picked off De-Martinis on a tipped passand took it 47 yards to put thehome squad up 14-7 with 2:27left in the half.

Potts came out stronger in

the second half, taking hissecond carry of the stanza tothe end zone for 60 yards, juk-ing and spinning throughtackles the entire way. Therun gave Platt a 20-7 lead lessthan a minute into the sec-ond half.

Plainville’s answered witha 13-play, 70-yard drive thatchewed 6:01 off the clock. De-Martinis scrambled into theend zone from seven yards tocut the Platt lead to 20-13with 1:19 left in the third.

Potts clinched the gamewith a 77-yard TD run on thefirst play after the PlainvilleTD. He also added his secondinterception on Plainville’sfinal drive.

“This is a great win,” Plattcoach Jason Bruenn said.“That’s a good team andtheir line is really good. We

The volleyball team dropped to 1-5 on the yearafter being swept by Bristol Central and Platt.

The Lady Blue Devils have been without theirfull lineup recently, by Steve Compson won’t usethat as an excuse for his team’s erratic play.

“It has been hard to develop that on-courtchemistry when we need to shift people around,but that was not our biggest problem,” the coachsaid. “While the other teams showed good skillsin our contests, we were often our own enemy. Wewere far too inconsistent in the keys to the game.Weak passing and setting means our offense sput-ters out before it gets going. Our stats clearly re-flect the scores we have put up with no clearleader in hitting or passing. Two setters in actionand neither has been able to spark the offense.”

Despite playing with a banged up elbow, liberoMarisa Rizzo has been steadfast for Plainville.“She will fight and play through a lot of pain,”Compson said. “She is dedicated.”

The cross country teams knocked off Plattand Bulkeley. The PHS boys improved to 3-1,

while the girls bumped their record to 2-2.The Blue Devils’ Ryan Acey placed first in the

boys race, pulling away in the final 80 meters.“Ryan Acey is taking form nicely,” said PHS

coach Shaun Berard, who liked what he saw fromhis entire lineup at the Platt/Bulkeley meet. “Theboys looked good overall, despite running highermileage over the past two weeks.”

The Plainville girls have come along nicely aswell.

The Lady Blue Devils’ Delaney Russell andMcKenna Rita finished one-two against Platt andBulkeley.

Forfurther information callcommittee member MikeBakaysa at (860) 573-8015.

This week The Citizentakes a look at the career ofRichard Buchanan.

Richard BuchananRichard Buchanan con-

verted the lessons he learnedand the respect that heearned as an outstandingPlainville High athlete into alife of giving back.

Buchanan was a three-sport athlete for the Blue

Devils from 1953-57, gainingattention in basketball, base-ball and football, but he not-ed that statistics and teamachievements pale in com-parison to the lessons in lifethat team sports and greatcoaches teach. He selflesslypassed what he learned on tothe impressionablePlainville athletes who suc-ceeded him.

“My individual stats arenot important,” Buchanansays. “Putting the team first,competing, and playing yourbest, giving your all even ifyou came up short was whatit was all about. We were sofortunate to have great quali-ty coaches Mr. Pat Riera inbasketball and Mr. TedKnurek in football and base-ball, and Mr. Charlie Palmerour senior year in football.These coaches made a last-ing impression on me.”

An arduous trail throughhis early days as a PHSscholar-athlete that he suc-cessfully navigated set thefirst stones in a foundationof benevolence that wouldlater enrich his alma materand those who followed in

his footsteps.He was a starting guard on

the basketball team as asophomore in 1955 when theBlue Devils, en route to a 2-14season, were drubbed byNewington, 88-22. NewingtonAll-Stater Pete Reckert,Buchanan recalled, brokethe school scoring recordwith 44 points in what hecalled Plainville’s “low pointof the season.”

But when Newington visit-ed town later in the season,Richie dropped in a pair offree throws to cinch a 47-45upset.

Adversity sowed the firstseeds of his character. As ajunior in 1955-56, he was se-lected the Most ValuablePlayer on a winning teamthat was building towardPlainville’s golden years –state championships craftedby Riera in 1959 and 1961.

Like Buchanan’s olderbrother Mel (PHS Class of1954; Hall of Fame Class of2009), Richie was proficientfrom the foul line. His team-mates made note of his lead-ership capabilities and unan-imously elected him captainfor his senior year. Riera was

addressing the gathering atthe team’s postseason ban-quet when he noted that inhis illustrious coaching ca-reer, he had never seen thathappen.

Richie’s exploits on thehardwood stand foremost inmemory. He led the 1956-57squad in scoring, foul shoot-ing percentage and assists.He broke Mel’s school recordfor field goal percentage, andwas most proud of the factthat the Devils dumped arch-rival Southington twice forthe first time in many years.But numbers weren’t impor-tant. Riera’s astute supervi-sion influenced him most.

“During my senior yearwith guidance from CoachRiera who knew my goal tobe a coach someday, I workedwith kids on the junior varsi-ty team, such as JohnnyGacek, Steve Vargo and Bri-an Brooks,” Richie recalls. “Iknew they were going to begood. They were 1959 statechampions. Wow, I was soproud of them while Iwatched the final at [Yale’sPayne Whitney Gymnasi-um], where I played my finalgame for Plainville High.”

On the diamond, thesouthpaw was a startingpitcher and outfielder as asophomore and junior. As asenior, he batted over .300,

but the regret of not qualify-ing for the state tournamentdespite posting a winningrecord is a deep-seated mem-ory.

Plainville defeatedSouthington in the finalgame, and the Blue Knightswent on to the state finals.When Southington coach JoeFontana learned he wouldface a lefthander in the final,he arranged for Richie topitch against his hitters inthe practices that led up tothe Class M final againstFarmington.

“It was an honor,” he re-calls. “I made several friendsamong our bitter rivals.”

In football as a senior, hewas a two-way starter at endfor a team that won the Con-necticut Valley Conferencechampionship and went 6-3.Two of the losses were toBristol (one high school inthose days) and Southington,both of which more thandoubled PHS in enrollment.

The hardships he enduredin committing everything hehad to his teams went a longway in making the man, whocoached PHS sports from1963-83 before becomingChief Assessor for EastHartford, the city where henow lives. Until his senioryear, basketball was playedin the old “bandbox” gym.

“The only time we couldpractice was at night,” hesays. “We’d ride our bikes orwalk or hitch a ride to go onwinter nights, then take ashower in cold water sincethe boilers were turned off.We’d get home at 10 or 11p.m. and be back in school byabout 7:15 a.m. the next day.”

The football team usedNorton Park as its homefield. He recalled how poorthe conditions and equip-ment were.

“Our practice field was inthe mud, dust, stones andweeds behind the old highschool,” he remembers.“Our equipment and hel-mets were antiques.”

After attending SouthernConnecticut State College,Buchanan returned to hisroots.

He spent 13 seasons as anassistant basketball coach,

is quite pleased with histeam.

“They’re swimming real-ly great,” the veteran headman said followingPlainville’s latest meet, an87-44 victory over Bulkeley.“They’re just getting betterevery day. It’s just a matterof a couple of spots on theteam, and our record couldbe a lot better. They’reswimming really well.”

“They’re way ahead oflast year, but we’re stillmaking up what we lost tograduation. It’s going totake a while, but I reallydon’t get nervous until theend of the season,”Doucette said, referring tothe postseason meets.

The locals already havequalified for the state meetin 10 of 12 events.

12 under Joe Dehm, as theDevils posted winningrecords across the board.The 1965-66 team went to thestate final but lost a 59-52 de-cision to East Catholic.

He served as head soccercoach for the program’s firstseven seasons. The Devilsqualified for their first tour-nament and battled defend-ing state champion Guilfordon the road but lost in doubleovertime.

“Never was I so proud of ateam I coached,” he says.“They were only exposed tosoccer for the first time ashigh school students.”

To put his commitment toPlainville High School inperspective, Buchanan re-counts a tale from the early1970s.

“When the head footballcoach Charlie Palmer waswithout a freshman coach,Joe Dehm and I took the joband split the $150 stipend forthe season,” he says. “It wasa very rewarding experi-ence.”

No, numbers meant littleto Richie Buchanan, espe-cially next to his devotion tothe student-athletes of histown.

“Justin Potts and their of-fensive line did a great job,”Plainville coach Chris Far-rell said. “We didn’t take ad-vantage of a couple of big op-portunities we had early on.We shot ourselves in the footand the momentum wentPlatt’s way.”

they can,” said Doucette. “Ithink we’ve got about fiveor six girls that are definite-ly doing very well.”

Megan Farmer, a versa-tile junior, leads the pack.

“She does anything,” saidDoucette. “Every time I puther in a different event, shequalifies for states in thatevent.”

Boys soccer coach TimBrown has some bad newsfor his team’s upcoming op-ponents: The Blue Devilshave not yet hit their stride.

“Of late, we’ve not beenplaying our best,” saidBrown. “We made more ofthe game against Platt thanit needed to be. We didn’tput them away early. Wedidn’t really play ourgame.”

Still, Plainville walkedaway with a 2-1 victory overPlatt Saturday. The win wasthe fifth straight for theBlue Devils, 5-1 at presstime.

Despite graduating aslew of talent from its 2011state semifinalist squad,Plainville is eyeing its thirdstraight CCC South title.

“No team can really loseeight players – and some ofthe quality players we’velost – and get better. Youdon’t get better by doingthat,” said Brown. “We’re adifferent team now. Ourquality is spread out overevery position.”

The fact the Blue Devilshave remained a formidablefoe has a lot to do with old-fashioned drive.

“We recognized prior tothe season that we had toput our work in,” saidBrown. “And these kids,with all the weightlifting,and playing twice a weekwith other coaches, doingsummer soccer over at FSA;they had quite a regimen.We knew we couldn’t usethe season to get in playingform. We knew what we had

to do, and the kids acceptedit, willingly.”

Junior Shane Pugliesehas done the lion’s share ofthe scoring for Plainville,but Brown is quick to pointout that the Blue Devils areno one-man show. “It’s beena team-wide effort,” he said,rattling off several othernames. “We have guys whogo out there and leave every-thing on the field everygame. If we do that everygame, we can handle losingone. As long as these guys goout there and they do every-thing they can, we’re goodwith the results. The resultwill take care of itself.”

The girls soccer teamearned a much-needed victo-ry Saturday, a 2-1 decisionover Platt. Plainville (2-4)had gone two-plus weekswithout a win prior to that,dropping three one-goalgames during the stretch.

“The Platt game was veryimportant for us,” said PHS

coach Leszek Wrona.Danielle Dixon and

Danielle Angelillo notchedone goal and one assistapiece against Platt.

Fronted by a tireless de-fense, Julianna Christy hada solid day in net for the vic-tors. “The team defense;everyone who stepped on thefield did a tremendous job,”Wrona said. “When we lostpossession, we always cameback and organized our-selves.”
