    One of the ways residents can find relief from the heat this summer is at Paderewski Park, home of a new splash pad. This has been in the works

    over the last year, Kim Crow-ley, assistant recreation direc-tor for the Town of Plainville said. Its something we al-

    ways wanted to do.The town received a

    $151,000 state grant for the splash pad project and to make improvements to the park. The park previously fea-

    tured a wading pool that had been closed for years and did not meet the Americans With Disabilities Act requirements.The wading pool was re-

    moved and the splash pad is

    in place of it, Recreation Di-rector Colin Regan pointed out. The splash pad is set on

    a large, level area, making it easy and accessible for small children and those with disabilities. Our State Rep. Elizabeth

    The Youth Theater in Plainville, sponsored by the Pla-inville Choral Society, is looking for actor-singers, age 8 through 15, both boys and girls, to audition for Once on This Island. Members will sing, dance and act in groups. Auditions are low-stress and involve singing a favorite song of any type. Rehearsals are scheduled to begin July 22 at Dance, Inc. Performances are scheduled for Sept. 5 and 6 at Plainville High School.For more information and to schedule an audition, call

    Maryjane or Pete Peluso at (860) 747-8512.

    Singers, actors sought

    People tend to appreci-ate beauty, and Domenick Donofrio is no different.Unfortunately, the Plain-

    ville resident sees no beauty in the overgrown property at 54 Loomis Ave.Donofrio complained

    about the property at the June 23 Town Council meet-ing saying it has become un-sightly and needs to be taken care of.According to records ob-

    tained from the Plainville assessors office, the prop-erty now abandoned was previously owned by Glenn Miron and Danielle Boeh-nert, and is in the process of being foreclosed on.Im just a concerned

    neighbor, Donofrio said in a phone conversation. The bank hasnt done anything with this property. It has been like this roughly four or five years; three that I know of. Bank of America previ-

    ously owned the property. Greentree Servicing now owns it, according to BOAs media relations department.In an email, BOAs media

    relations department stated the bank does not have any current role with regard to the property. Although we previously serviced it, those responsibilities were re-leased to another servicer in

    August of 2012. We are alert-ing the current servicer to the issues with the property.Town Manager Robert E.

    Lee said at the June 23 meet-ing that the Loomis Avenue property would be taken care of, but it is not easy.In a phone conversation,

    Lee said that the major issue was getting the overgrown grass cut, so he called Five Brothers Default Manage-ment Solutions, one of the companies that may be re-sponsible for the cleanup.I left a message with them

    and ended up hearing back from Diana Flowers, their violations coordinator, Lee said. She said that she would need a violation notice from the Plainville-Southington Regional Health District, and she called a maintenance company to seek a quote. When she gets a quote and violation notice she will go to the bank and seek approval.Lee also said that he spoke

    with Donofrio, and said the resident appreciates the effort.Calls to Flowers and Gre-

    entree Servicing were not returned.

    through, Regan said.The splash pad contains

    no standing water and is not classified as a pool, therefore is not staffed by the town. However, Regan stressed that adult supervision is required at all times. There is no fee to use the

    splash pad. It is open to the public Monday through Sun-day, 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., through Sept. 1. In addition to the splash

    pad, residents can cool off at the Elizabeth A. Berner Pool, which opened for the season June 7. This is a busy place all

    summer, Crowley said. Peo-ple can bring a picnic lunch and stay the whole day.The Berner Pool offers

    on-going learn-to-swim

    classes, aqua aerobics and a parent/child aquatics program.A junior lifeguarding class

    is available to kids who are in-terested in one day becoming a lifeguard. Youngsters must pass a level-six swim class to be accepted into the program. We have a lot of kids who

    grow up in our aquatic system and then come work for us, Crowley said. Its great be-cause we know them so well already.Kids who have passed a lev-

    el-two swim class and are be-tween 4 and 18 years old are also eligible to be a part of the summer swim team.For more information on

    the facilities, classes or pool passes, contact the Recre-ation Department at (860) 747-6022 or visit www.plain-villect.com.

    Plainvilles Nico Fasold is liv-ing a unique life for a 9-year-old.A kid on a mission, Nico is

    entering his fifth year running a lemonade stand at his home at 109 Northwest Dr., a fund-raiser for the Make-A-Wish Foundation.While no one in his immedi-

    ate family has been impacted by cancer, Nico became aware of the disease on television and wanted to do something to help.Nicos Lemonade Stand will be

    open Saturday, July 12, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. The stand will feature pop-corn, apple fritters, snow cones, nachos, and candies, in addition to 12 gallons of lemonade.Helping kids is a big respon-

    sibility it makes me smile. I love helping other people, Nico said.The little entrepreneur with a

    big heart has a goal of reaching $10,000 in donations this time around. According to a press re-lease, Nico has raised more than $16,000 so far for the Make-A-Wish Foundation.He is so caring, he goes out of

    his way to make people happy, his father, Kyle Fasold, said. He helps orchestrate behind-the-scenes stuff for the other kids to do, and he is building his own leadership skills.When Nico took on this lem-

    onade stand challenge, he wasnt sure how to handle all the atten-tion. He said he was scared of being on the news, on T.V. Of course, he wound up doing an

    interview last year with WFSBs Better Connecticut show.It is not lost on Nicos family

    what the youngster has taken on.We are truly blessed, Kyle

    Fasold said. We know kids who are not as healthy What he is doing is a good thing.I hope this is as positive for

    him as it has been for us, said Nicos mother, Angela. This is inspiring. I hope this grows and has a life of its own and that oth-ers take it, too.There will be a satellite

    stand, according to Angela, at Crowley Ford, 225 New Britain Ave., on Saturday, Aug. 9.

    Community Foundation aids town program

    ObituariesCommentary

    Gone are the days when the roots that made baseball our national pastime grew deep and strong through competition between towns.The boys from one town

    would hop in a hay wagon, or later a ja-l o py, a nd venture to another to stage a Sun-d ay d o u -bleheader. Times were much sim-

    pler. Folks would pack pic-nic lunches, head to the park

    and build a day of exercise, family bonding and fresh air around the ballgame.Those roots have been se-

    verely weakened, but they still exist to a certain extent within the realm of Ameri-can Legion baseball.With the boys from Mer-

    iden currently engaged in a protracted series with their counterparts from Walling-ford, the withering tradition of us against you, spiced with a fading but still extant civic pride, entered the fray.Many years have passed

    since the two towns were divided by the haphazard

    boundaries drawn up in school board meetings. Meridens west-siders

    were directed toward Or-ville H. Platt High and the east-siders to Francis T. Ma-loney in the late 1950s when that trend cascaded through the states larger cities. Wallingford, once exclu-

    sively Lyman Hall, was di-vided about 20 years later when Mark T. Sheehan, with its sweeping view of the val-ley from Hope Hill, emerged for west-enders.In the meantime, the mi-

    gration to parochial schools in Middletown, West Haven, Bristol and beyond, the al-luring call of New Englands exclusive prep schools and interest in vocational/tech-nical education dissipated the local athletic talent pools. But, come the end of the

    high school season, ballplay-ers who can avoid the need to work full time and eschew the expense and propaganda of the AAU phenomenon convene at places like Legion Field and Pat Wall Field for an exciting summer run to-ward Zone 3 supremacy.The boundaries that di-

    vide during the high school season make for compelling rivalries, but arent nearly as strong as the loyalties within the towns.I hang out with Platt

    guys, said Jon Walter, out-standing outfielder for Malo-ney now swinging a hot bat for Post 45, but please dont tell anybody. Were friends on an off the field. We like our high school teams, but we really like our town.Platt/Post 45 infielder/

    catcher Will Kszywanos added, Yeah, Platt vs. Malo-ney isnt like New York and Boston. Its all fun. Former Platt infielder Evan

    Golebiewski added, The more fun the better, but he wasnt smiling.For Ben Miller, a cap-

    tain for Lyman Hall this

    Roland DeVoe P L A I N V I L L E Roland Gary DeVoe passed away

    p e a c e f u l l y at his home surrounded by his lov-ing family on Wednesday, June 18, 2014. Born on

    Oct. 8, 1948, he was one of four sons to the late Roland DeVoe and Rita Turmelle. He was a 1968 graduate of Plainville High School. That same year he married the love of his life, Sharon C. Ciesielski, was drafted into the U.S. Army and on his first wedding anniversary was on his way to fight for his country in Vietnam. He was wounded in a surprise mortar attack for which he earned a Purple Heart Medal and returned to fin-ish his service time at Fort Bragg, N.C. Roland held several positions during his working years including jobs at New Britain Ma-chine, Tetco, National East-ern Corporation and Peck Spring. Most of his career however, was spent as a machine assembler for The Goss & Deleeuw Machine Company of Kensington where he was the go to guy for machinery prob-lems, even traveling to Chi-cago and Mexico to offer his expertise. Prior to his illness you could often find Roland outdoors chopping and splitting wood. He enjoyed fishing and riding

    motorcycles with his son Kevin. Later in life he also found a love of animals and was happy surround-ed by his pack of pups, Brady, Butler, Braveheart, Berry, Buttons, and Buddy (who sadly passed just this Mothers Day). Besides his loving wife Sharon, he is survived by his adored children, his son, Kevin G. DeVoe; and his daughter, Dawn Marie Sargis and her husband, David, of Plainville. Pepe also leaves his cherished grandchildren, Brandon and Jacob Sargis, of Pla-inville. He is also survived by his brothers, Robert DeVoe and his wife, Lita, of Tennessee, Karl DeVoe, of Rocky Hill, Mark DeVoe and his wife, Nancy, of Pla-inville; and several nieces and nephews. The family would like to thank Kathy ONeil, APRN of the VA for her compas-sionate care over the last several years. They would also like to thank the staff of VITAS Home Hospice for their care and compassion for Roland and his family during his final days. Bailey Funeral Home is in charge of the ar-rangements. There were no calling hours. Burial will be private and at the convenience of the fami-ly. Memorial donations in Rolands memory can be made to the CT Humane Society. For online expres-sions of sympathy, please visit www.Bailey-Funeral-Home.com.

    Obituaries

    Legion

    spring, the Legion experience is a welcome return to his youth base-ball past.We grew up together, he said.

    Yeah, we play against each other in spring season, but here every-one that once played together can come together again. And I think our team has really come together so far.The Wallingford program ap-

    pears quite healthy after the team had to cancel its 2012 season be-cause only eight players signed up. Reasons for the lack of partic-

    ipation all point to players and their families being convinced that the additional exposure provided by AAU baseball was crucial to their future, another blow struck for greed and personal gain over 20th century American traditions.But the summer schedule will

    be filled with the town-versus-town battles. Meriden, Cheshire and Wallingford will compete in Zone 3 with Berlin, East Haddam, Guilford and Westbrook. South-ington will try to maintain its sta-tus as one of the states top teams in Zone 1 against Avon, Bristol, Simsbury, Torrington, Unionville, Terryville and Wolcott.Try packing a picnic lunch, en-

    joying the ambiance of well-kept ballparks, breathing in some fresh air, watching some competitive baseball played by town young-sters and enjoying the simpler things in life the way people did in your grandfathers day.

    Pauline Schwartz PLAINVILLE Pauline Schwartz, after living a long and full life, passed away

    on June 30, 2014, sur-rounded by her family, at Connecti-cut Hospice. The memo-ry of her will live on in the

    hearts of her family and friends. Pauline was born in New Britain Connecticut on May 25, 1920. In September 1946, Pauline married Karl Schwartz, whom she had known since childhood. Pauline will be dearly missed by her five surviv-ing children, Karl Schwartz, Susan Schwartz, Kathy Schwartz, Michael Schwartz and his wife, Donna and Marcia Mul-ligan and her husband, Paul; 14 grandchildren; and six great-grandchil-dren. Pauline had the skills, talents and love that made her a perfect mother and grandmother. Recognized as an excellent cook, she shared food and recipes with friends and family alike. Pauline created a

    home filled with laughter, respect and integrity. She enjoyed the many activities of her children and grand-children, who were central to her happiness. Her love for the natural world was instilled in all her children. This love of nature contin-ued in her work at Flow-ers by Sharpe in Plainville, where she crafted exquisite floral arrangements. For 35 years she volunteered at the Plainville Historical Center and became instru-mental in its development, working as the treasurer and wearing many hats. With no small amount of patience, loyalty, and love, she was known as a prime mover of the museums projects. Those who knew her reveled in the love she shared for both family and accomplishments. It would be hard to find anyone who did not love her company, to say nothing of her quick wit. Calling hours were at Our Lady of Mercy in Plainville, on Wednesday, July 3, fol-lowed by a funeral Mass. There was a celebration of her life at the Pinchot Syc-amore Tree Park in Sims-bury.

    Anne Marie Tarascio PLAINVILLE Anne Marie (Iezzi) Tarascio, 84, of Plainville, passed away

    surrounded by her fami-ly on Thurs-day, June26, 2014. She was the wife of the late Anthony Tar-ascio, who

    predeceased her in 1995. Anne was born in Plain-ville, daughter of the late Santi and Antoinette (Ol-ivier) Iezzi. A lifelong res-ident, she was employed at Peck Spring before her retirement, and owned and operated alongside her husband, Mundys Family Shoe Store downtown. A woman of great faith, she was a longtime communi-cant of Our Lady of Mercy Church. Anne had a pas-sion for traveling, having visited many countries and islands, which also fulfilled her love for spending time with her family as they joined her on many of her adventures. She was quite social, making friends ev-erywhere she visited, and being the avid reader that she was, spent many days

    at the Plainville Library. She will be greatly missed and is survived by her son, Anthony; her granddaugh-ter and best friend, Jennifer Cooke and her husband, Michael; her great-grand-son, Michael McGinley and her great-grandson on the way; her sister, Mary Cahill, of Niantic; her niece, An-nette Gallatin; her nephew, Walter Cahill and his wife, Mary; and her faithful furry friend, Rocky with whom she shared a special bond. She was predeceased by her brothers, Dominic and Rocco Iezzi. Funeral services in cele-bration of Annes life were held on Wednesday, July 2, at Bailey Funeral Home, followed by a Mass of Christian burial at Our Lady of Mercy Church. Commit-tal services were followed at St. Joseph Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, Annes love for animals may be remem-bered with contributions to The Hope Fund, c/o VCA Old Canal Animal Hospital, 49 E. Main St, Plainville, CT 06062. For online expres-sions of sympathy, please visit www.Bailey-Funeral-Home.com.

    Letters to the Editor

    Real change needed in HartfordTo the editor:My name is Rick Brod-

    erick II and Im petitioning to be the State Representa-tive of the 22nd District as a third party candidate. Im not a member of a political party, Im just a person who sees that our public trustees should be more responsible with the peoples money, and less intrusive into the lives of those they were elected to represent. I hope thats an idea we all agree on as we get to know each other over the next few months.In order to get on the ballot

    this November, I need to col-lect signatures from eligible voters of the 22nd District by Aug. 6. Im going to be around town during the month of July to collect these signa-tures. It would mean a lot to me if everyone would take a few minutes out of their day, to come say hello, share their views, and listen to what I have to say.I have a website, rickbrod-

    erick22ct.com, that will list where you can find me. I in-vite you to visit the site to get more information on my views and I encourage you to share that site with your fam-ily and friends in the district. With no public campaign fi-nancing or party backing, its going to take a grassroots effort.Im a lifelong resident of

    Plainville, with two middle school aged children that I made a conscious decision to raise here. Watching the way our government has oper-ated the last 15 years, doesnt give me much confidence that retiring here will be to the benefit of any of us, if we continue on the path we have been on. Im aware that Im asking

    for a nine-term representa-tive to be replaced by a rookie, but our future prosperity de-pends on real change to occur in Hartford.Rick Broderick IIPlainville

    Grateful to first respondersTo the editor:My husband and I want to

    thank all the first respond-ers from the Plainville police and fire departments for their prompt response, quick ac-tion, and very caring attitude. Somehow, perhaps a bottle

    rocket from a neighbors yard, our garden was set on fire.Our labor of love seeds

    started in peat pots in Janu-ary, then seedlings, then baby plants, then garden starters beginning to really take off gone in a moment. The fire left charred and blackened remnants.But thanks to the rapid re-

    sponse from our Plainville fire and police, the fire was quickly put out. It did not

    spread to our garage, our cars or our house. Everyone responding was efficient, ef-fective and courteous. We are blessed. Thank you!Richard and Charlotte

    PolitisPlainville

    Change is neededTo the editor:I would like to preface

    what I am about to present by acknowledging the time and effort individuals must be willing to sacrifice being a Town Council member. They must conduct meetings in an orderly fashion, listen to and be able to resolve issues/concerns regarding the inner workings of the town as well as those of the residents they represent. They must say what they mean and mean what they say, and if you can-not do that, you should not be sitting in a Town Council seat.I left the June 23 Town

    Council meeting not only disappointed in the lack of knowledge and ability our Town Council has to resolve issues/concerns regarding the inner workings of the town, but having to consis-tently look to our Town Man-ager for answers in areas they should be familiar with, such as the progress the Capital Projects Building Commit-tee is making, or the impact of not settling the mill rate issue.

    This is a Town Council whose chairperson presented a compromise to the resi-dents of Plainville, televising agenda item No. 1, Citizens Forum, without the backing of fellow council members. The Town Council, when asked to voice their opin-ion/backing on the compro-mise sat in defiant silence. One council member, Quinn Christopher, was the only one with the courage to respond. Imagine, a Republican

    council chairperson that could not get at least the support of the three fellow Republican members of the council. Not so long ago, Plainville

    was in constant turmoil re-garding the Town Govern-ment versus the Board of Education. The BOE has a new superintendent, the town elected a new chairper-son and new members to the BOE. Look how things have worked out.Perhaps election changes

    to the Town Council will yield similar results.Lou Frangos Plainville

    Who deserves your vote?To the editor:Before you know it, it will

    be time to vote again for some political office or another, and the politicians will begin their quest to get your vote. They will begin to tell you many the reasons why your vote counts, your vote makes a difference. Why if you dont vote you deserve to lose your right to speak up about any-

    thing, and so on.I occasionally watch CT-N

    (state capital) events and CSpan (national govern-ment) events. Sometimes this is about as exciting as watch-ing grass growing. When I see that they vote on one bill or another, either the vote is aye, nay, or no vote (abstain). I find it appalling at the num-ber of no votes I see at times.Now shifting to Plainville.

    At the last budget vote only four percent of eligible vot-ers showed up at the polls. It is pretty sad that so few care about how their money is spent. Now, if you find all this to be surprising you should attend any Town Council meeting.I went to the Town Coun-

    cil meeting on June 23. At that meeting, as I recall, a decision was to be made on whether the town will be televising the Citizens Forum portion of all meetings beginning a half hour before the regular meet-ing starts or not. Or should the Citizens Forum be part of the regular agenda?At the end of the discus-

    sion, the chairperson asked the members for a vote. To my amazement only two members expressed an opin-ion. The other five remained silent. A few minutes later the meeting was closed. I no-ticed the people there remain dumbfounded that there was not even another opinion among them.Now let me ask this, if our

    elected officials dont want to cast a vote on this, how are we to cast a vote for them?Carmine LalamaPlainville

    Civil Rights exhibitZadnik

    ways the first to show up for events, and always the last to leave.Yet the outcome of a game,

    match, or meet never weighs that heavily on him. Hes just happy seeing his Blue Devils compete.Thats what one would ex-

    pect from a Plainville guy through and through.Since graduating from Pla-

    inville High in 1963, Zadnik has done his part to remain a vibrant member of the Blue Devil community. After earning his K-8 teaching cer-tification from Central Con-necticut, Zadnik accepted a special education position in his hometown in 1969.Zadnik enjoyed his time

    spent teaching, yet was in-trigued by the opportunity to get involved with PHS athlet-ics again.Id never really thought

    about the opportunity to get a position in Plainville ath-letics, because my teaching certification was always kin-dergarten through eighth grade, so Id always taught el-ementary level or at the mid-dle school level, said Zadnik. When this position was posted, I just couldnt resist trying for it, because Ive al-ways loved athletics. I hadnt been a coach at the high school level, but I had gotten involved in officiating (high school events) at a young age. I just couldnt resist throwing my hat in the ring, and some-how I got the job.Upon being awarded the

    position of Plainville High athletic director in 1998, Zad-nik, a baseball and basketball player during his high school years, was once again sub-merged in everything Blue Devils.Yet Zadniks inaugural

    year as AD was anything but smooth.That first year was easily

    my most difficult year, be-cause that was the year they dug up the athletic fields and built what you see today, Zadnik said. So that was a very difficult year.Thanks to the former ath-

    letic director, Greg Ziogas, still holding the position of assistant principal at the high school, Zadnik received plenty of support in a time he

    needed it the most.It was lucky for me that he

    (was still at the high school) did because without him, I really would have had a lot of trouble. I hadnt had any prior experience and he re-ally helped me immeasurably through that first year, Zad-nik said.Yet the new athletic direc-

    tors patience was rewarded greatly that year, as the base-ball team walked away as state champions with a 3-0 victory over Nonnewaug, even though the team didnt have a home field of its own for the entirety of the season.That state title proved to be

    the first of five won by PHS teams during Zadniks tenure. The Blue Devils also walked away with the hardware in girls basketball (2001), boys basketball (2006), and twice

    more on the baseball dia-mond (2008, 2012).However, the job of athletic

    director for Zadnik was about much more than winning.It obviously wasnt wins

    and losses, because Im sure we lost more than we won, Zadnik quipped. Instead, the athletic director enjoyed the off-the-field stuff he was able to bring to PHS during his tenure.In 2001, Zadnik, his wife

    Sharon, and three PHS stu-dents attended a National Student Athlete Conference in Indianapolis. Run by the High School Federation, Pla-inville was one of three Con-necticut schools to appear at the conference, serving as the medium-sized school representative. Staples (large school) and Cromwell (small) were the others to attend the

    conference.Each state had to come

    up with a student action plan, which was something to bring back to the state to accomplish, and the three schools that I mentioned, we decided to organize a State Student Athlete Conference annually, Zadnik explained.With an idea in tow, Zadnik

    was ready to begin planning for an upcoming conference. However, the AD realized that he and the three students couldnt do it all on their own.Shortly thereafter, the Stu-

    dent Athletic Leadership Team at Plainville High was born.Thats where I have the

    most contact with the stu-dents, is in that organization. We started with three, and

    Sports

    Three cheers for the black, yellow, and red

    The month of July got off to a fantastic start.The United States mens

    soccer team was ousted on the first day of the month from World Cup competition.And, personally, I couldnt

    be happier that they lost.But before you grab your

    torches and pitchforks, lets play a little game of trivia:Newly-minted Ameri-

    can and World Cup legend Tim Howard, who made a remarkable 16 saves in the United States 2-1 loss to Belgium, plays for which Major League Soccer team when not sporting the stars and stripes?If you know the answer,

    kudos to you.If you dont, find a bucket

    of water to douse those torches.You see, Im a fan of the

    World Cup. Seeing the finest the sport of futbol has to offer from countries around the globe, meeting once every four years to crown a champion, is unlike just about every other athletic event in existence, aside from the Olympics.Yet I just cant offer up my

    support for Team USA. At least not yet.I find it difficult to sit by

    idly and root for a team I know nothing about. Aside from knowing that Howard would be playing for the Yanks in the 2014 Cup, one of the few pieces of infor-mation I knew about this years team was that Landon Donovan was staying home.That truly was the extent

    of my knowledge about the U.S. soccer team.Yet blind faith and patrio-

    tism just wasnt enough for me to root for my home na-tion this time around.Sure, I easily couldve

    thrown on a red, white, and blue bandana, popped open an overly-American beer, and stood around in a crowded room with a ton of people who also knew very

    few intricacies about the sport of soccer, rattling off that nails-on-a-chalkboard chant of I believe that we will win, but I just couldnt do it.Ive always been a fan of

    particular sports teams for two reasons. One: I enjoy watching them play through good times and bad, and, two: I know more about the team than a few players names and the teams colors.I give it my all when it

    comes to fandom, and pre-tending to know anything about the United States mens soccer team and act like I care for a cou-ple weeks was not how I planned on spending the 2014 World Cup.Instead, I stood back, sur-

    veyed the field of 32 teams, and made a conscious de-cision: although I wouldnt select one favorite for this years Cup, I would watch

    as many matches as I could with fervor and admiration, rooting for whatever coun-tries care more for the sport of futbol year-round than America does.In short, I rooted for

    roughly 31 of 32 teams in the field of group play.America is a very proud

    country, especially when competing on a national scale. But to say that our country cares more about the sport of soccer than those who live in Cameroon,

    Spain, Portugal, or England (all teams that failed to ad-vance past pool play) would be a downright lie.So instead of faking my

    allegiance to a team I knew nothing about, I decided to root for the countries that actually deserve my sup-port: countries that care about the sport of soccer every day, rather than once every four years.Yes, Ive seen individuals

    in America who care about the sport.Ive met Team USA die-

    hards who love to follow the squads highs and lows in in-ternational competitions on

    any given day.Ive seen plenty of high

    school soccer in the past year to convince me that the love for the sport is alive and well in the States.Just not at a national level.

    At least not yet. And most definitely not year round.If it was, two things would

    have happened by now.The first: those still read-

    ing who havent used this column as kindling for their torches would be able to an-swer my question from ear-lier about Tim Howard and what club he plays for.

    Soccer

    Ill give you a hint: it was a trick question. Howard doesnt play for an MLS club, but rather Everton of the English Premier League.Which leads me to my

    second argument: if the sport was really grow-ing in America, Im sure more players from Team USA would actually play stateside during their club season. Instead, 13 of the 25 men who represented America for the Cup still choose to play on foreign soil when not donning the

    stars and stripes, including Howard, standout mid-fielder Jermaine Jones, and the hamstring-plagued Jozy Altidore.And, unfortunately, it

    doesnt exactly look as though soccer on American soil will soon receive an in-flux of national team mem-bers joining their ranks.Howard was quoted on

    ESPN radios morning show Mike and Mike last week as saying that he didnt be-lieve it was up to members of Team USA to help build the sport stateside: I sup-pose its talked about in that

    context where it is on our shoulders to grow the sport. We go out and play a beauti-ful game -- or at least we try to -- and the supporters are either attracted to that or not, Howard said.I dont quote this try to

    turn a nation against its newest sports hero. But it sure doesnt look as though Americas finest talent will be going out of its way any-time soon to ensure that the sport thrives in the States year round, rather than once every presidential term.So when Belgium and the

    United States squared off in their Round of 16 matchup July 1, you can sure bet that I was rooting for the coun-try that roots for the beauti-ful game all year long.And when the final

    horn sounded, I was quite pleased with the outcome. The nation whose fan base is comprised of true fans was victorious.Three cheers for the

    black, yellow, and red. Both the players, and the fans, de-served it.Waffles all around.

    From Page 13

    A state law that went into ef-fect July 1, aimed at reducing the number of concussions in children, can prevent students from participating in athletics unless they receive informa-tion or complete training.An Act Concerning Youth

    Athletics and Concussions was introduced by the Com-mittee on Children. It requires the state Board of Education to work with the states Pub-lic Health Department to de-velop a concussion education plan. Local boards of educa-tion would then adopt the plan by using written materials, online training or videos or in person training, the bill states.According to the Centers for

    Disease Control and Preven-tion, a concussion is a type of traumatic brain injury caused by a bump, blow, or jolt to the head that can change the way your brain normally works.

    Concussions can also occur from a fall or a blow to the body that causes the head and brain to move quickly back and forth, according to the agency.The training required by the

    law would address the signs and symptoms of a concus-sion; obtaining proper med-ical treatment for a person suspected of sustaining a con-cussion; the dangers of con-cussions and when to allow a student athlete to return to activity; and current best prac-tices in the prevention and treatment of a concussion.Beginning with the 2015-16

    school year, boards of educa-tion can prohibit students from participating in a sport if they and their parents dont com-plete training through reading material, watching online vid-eos or an in-person meeting.In addition to providing

    training, school systems also have to have a plan in place that details when students can return to their respec-

    tive sports after sustaining a concussion.The bill also states that

    students and parents will re-ceive a consent form from the state Board of Education with details of its concussion education plan, as well as a summary of the local board of educations policies regarding concussions.Many of the requirements

    in the new law are already in effect in area school systems. VJ Sarullo, athletic director at Sheehan High School in Wall-ingford, said a number of mu-nicipalities in the state got a head start developing new pol-icies regarding concussions.We jumped ahead of it,

    Sarullo said. ... Its the things we already do that are now put into law.The assessment is called

    ImPACT Testing. ImPACT stands for immediate post-con-cussion assessment and cog-nitive testing and provides training clinicians with neu-rocognitive assessment tools, according to the companys

    website.Eric Swallow, athletic di-

    rector at Southington High School, said the test helps coaches tell when its safe to allow an athlete to return to a sport after a concussion. In Southington, student-athletes who sustain concussions must first pass the assessment be-fore they can return, Swallow said.Although area schools have

    been raising awareness of con-cussions, Cheshire Superinten-dent Greg Florio said he found one aspect of the new law po-tentially problematic.The fact that it extends to

    intramural sports could be a little more difficult if you have a bunch of kids get together to play an activity after school, Florio said. Youd have to make sure they run through the training to make sure they can do the spontaneous activities.State Sen. Dante Bar-

    tolomeo, however, said the law would only apply if it was a school-sanctioned activity.

    If it were a group of kids after school having a pickup game? Then no, the laws re-quirements would not apply, said Bartolomeo, a member of the Committee on Children.She emphasized that the

    new law isnt designed to be onerous for school systems.This isnt another mandate

    or burden to schools, she said. This is simply trying to pro-tect our children. There are a lot of benefits to sports, but we want them to be safe and want the parents and students to be informed.Area athletic directors said

    they dont see the new law as a burden, quite the opposite. Theres a fear of concus-

    sions because of what you see on something like SportsCen-ter how you should be care-ful if you come home with a headache, Sarullo said. This (law) allows us to get the signs, symptoms and turn of play in-formation out there so its ed-ucational for everyone. It helps the situation going forward.
