PHOTO COURTESY OF JOHN WHITE e grass is starting to sprout on the new athletic eld

reopen for the season But local athletes shouldn’t get too excited; it probably
won’t be ready to play on until late next year, says Super-
visor Warren J. Lucas.

e $367,000 project got o to somewhat of a rocky
start when the ground had to be releveled.

But, Lucas said, things are looking good now that the
grass has been planted. A fence also has to be installed
to keep players from having to retrieve errant balls from
the adjacent woods.

Last year Lucas said the town needed more elds for
soccer, a popular local sport.

Getting that additional space, he said, will not only al-
low more practice for young athletes, but will give other

elds the chance “to rest a little bit.”
e town has put a lot of e ort into improving the

Sunset Drive recreation spot, including installing a new
basketball court and renovating the other soccer eld.
It also xed up the previous basketball court and added
two new hoops.

Concerned citizens were so
distressed at the fate of the
poor beefalo that the Plymouth
police union set up a Go Fund
Me page to pay for the beefalo
to be sent to an animal sanctu-
ary upon capture. Everyone was
rooting for the beefalo.

As the beefalo remained on
the loose, fundraising exceeded
the $6,000 goal to rescue
“Buddy.” Kind-hearted donors
from Connecticut and beyond,
raised more than $8,140. But
here comes the lack of common
sense: e police union an-
nounced that the perfect home
for “Buddy” will be an animal
sanctuary located in Gainesville,
Florida.

Fans and supporters of
the beefalo were not happy.

e beefalo had already been
traumatized from his truck
transport from Massachusetts to
Connecticut. How does it make
any sense to send this poor ani-
mal on a long journey by truck
to Gainesville? And what about
the Florida heat and humidity
for an animal that is part-bison?
Is there no welcoming animal
sanctuary in Connecticut, New
York, Vermont or Massachusetts
for our friend the beefalo?

I’m sure they’ll nd some way
to blame the coronavirus. Run,
beefalo, run.
