BLUE HILL – The Blue Hill 16s fell to the superior experience and polish of the Blue Hill 18s last Wednesday night, losing 23-3. “It was a good lesson for our girls,” Blue Hill 16s Coach Jeff Williams said. In the first inning, the teams seemed evenly matched, with the 18s’ Nicole Berns, Danica Olson and Shelby Petersen each scoring a run and the 16s’ Kaitlin Kumke and Emily Harrifeld each scoring a run. The 16s fell behind in the second, scoring no runs while the 18s scored four.

Traveling to Colorado this past weekend to attend my cousinÕs beautiful outdoor wedding, it was amazing to see all of the vehicles on both sides of the Interstate, cars and vans packed full with vacation gear, heading to distant destinations. ItÕs the usual sight to see on Memorial Day weekend Š the kick-off to summer. And yet as several drivers were reminded as they were pulled over alongside the road, awaiting a state trooper to visit them, itÕs also a great time to remember to be careful while traveling and while taking some time off, whether youÕre heading across state lines or just down the road to the lake. Accidents happen often without a momentÕs notice, so it never hurts to take a few minutes and take the extra steps to ensure safety.
