Wow. That’s the best way to describe Mark Hawkins’ work on Firehall Field’s newest softball shed. Hawkinson is very good at building and organizing things. His garage has shelves, storage nooks, wood platforms, and hooks that hang from the ceiling.
Any garage owner would be impressed. Hats off to Hawkins, whose many hours of free work made everyone who went into the storage building go “oh” and “ah.” When you get the chance, make sure you check it out.

Headshaker of the week: Whether it be high school, college, or professional events spectators must always be mindful of those around them.
When the cheers or enthusiastic fans turn into foul mouthed adult tirades regarding the officials or play calling, remember those within a 20-to-30 foot radius are still learning their “A, B, Cs” and how to multiply and divide.
Yes, we all understand we get “caught up in the moment” from time to time, but it never justifies the use of curse words within an eye shot of the little one. Fans, clean it up. It’s a headshaker.
