Last hurrah
Economic distress flies under radar By Olivia L. Lawrence The Berlin Citizen

These kayakers said they were going to take one last paddle around Silver Lake before the water got too cold. They launched Oct. 21, the start of a picture-perfect fall weekend.
(This is the first of a twopart series about how recent economic conditions have affected some Berlin residents.) Recession, depression, double-dip downturns, foreclosures, unemployment, Occupy Wall Street, global economic instability — all topics in the news. Economists argue about what to call the turbulance, how long it will last, what will break us out of this cycle — or whether or not we’re in for a new reality when it comes to our financial status. The news has been bleak for a long, long time and from kitchen tables to town governments, belts have been tightened. How have people in Berlin fared during this seige? The Citizen spoke
with several officials to get their insights into what the impact has been locally. Here are a few trends: According to school district Director of Business Operations Roman Czuchta, raw numbers show there has been a significant jump in the number of students using the free and reduced lunch program. The program, subsidized by the federal government, has seen the following increase in the number of students signed up for the assistance: in 20082009, there were 260 eligible students. In 2011-2012, there are 360. At the town’s community services department, assistant director Doug Truit said, “We’re seeing an increase in use of the food

Deep in Green making a name on local music scene By Olivia L. Lawrence The Berlin Citizen
A rock band from Berlin is finding success on the local circuit and its original tunes are winning fans and opening doors to bigger and better venues. Deep in Green is a bunch of Berlin musicians who’ve known each other since their days at Berlin High School. (The drummer is a BHS senior, the rest have graduated and work day jobs or are in college.) “We always liked music and were always jamming,” said Zak Labieniec, guitar and vocals. Now the five-man band is piling on “playing out” experience at clubs across the state. DiG plays the Webster Theater, Friday, Oct. 28, and the Arch Street Tavern, Saturday, Oct. 29. The band has gigs coming up at: Toads, New Haven; The Space, Hamden; and the Wall Street Bar and Grill, Cromwell. Or you might catch them at the Sunday night jam at the Blue
Moon, Plantsville, or at the Wednesday night jam at Black-eyed Sally’s, Hartford. Closer to home, DiG has played at the Farmington Avenue Bar, and a fireworks celebration in Newington last summer was another chance to hear the band. Even a talent show at BHS last year provided a taste of DiG. “We’ll play wherever we can get a show,” Labieniec said. Besides Labieniec, the group consists of: Justin Domejczyk, lead vocals/percussion; Derrik Bosse, bass/ vocals; Danny Jose, guitar/vocals; and Mike Piccoli, drums/harmonica/ back ground vocals. They might play a few covers, but most of their music is original and the group plans to go into the recording studio soon to make a demo. To hear songs like Inner City Funk, Hairy Mairy, Psychedelic Love — and namesake tune Deep in Green — check out their MySpace page at www.myspace.com/deepingreenband.
Two burglaries
Deep in Green band members, from left: Danny Jose, Mike Piccoli, Derrik Bosse, Justin Domejczyk, and Zak Labieniec. Labieniec said themes for songs might come from relationships gone bad or a strange story about a guy named Juan who was lost at sea. The band is influenced by rock legends such as Black Sabbath, the Doors, Who, Zappa, and the Chili Peppers.
But what does Deep in Green mean? Are they making scads of cash? Are they environmentalists? Inquiring minds… Labieniec laughed. He just pulled the name out of thin air during a “what will we call the band” discussion, and it stuck.

I am running for my initial term as a police commissioner. During the past five years I have been a member of the Berlin Planning and Zoning Commission. My focus on the Police Commission will be no different than on PZC — “What is in the best interest of the Town of Berlin”. The Town of Berlin has a ‘first-class’ police department in terms of personnel, training and compensation. All citizens wish this to continue. The highest near-term priority is the smooth integration of the new Berlin police station and its opportunity for achieving 21st centu-

This is an irresponsible, unsustainable level of spending.

Student Holly Robillard and teacher Dave Bosso in the social studies classroom.
Student voices
Bosso embodies qualities of all good teachers By Holly Robillard Special to The Citizen Although I was his student three years ago, I still keep in contact with Dave Bosso as often as possible. From first-hand experience, I must admit, he’s not one to announce his accomplishments. However, it wasn’t until recently that I understood why. He may be Connecticut’s Teacher of the Year, but he cannot be defined by his title. Bosso is a memorable man because of his passion for his career and commitment to improving the world. It’s always impressive to hear his many tales from foreign and often impoverished nations; each one helps a teenager to look past the meaningless drama in their world and brings reality back into perspective. He gives us the motivation to redefine our lives to fit the context of society rather than ourselves. It is truly humbling.
Bosso makes it a point to learn during his travels so that he gains the experience and skills needed to change our lives. After accomplishing his work in these third world and developing countries, Bosso enters the classroom with new ideas and techniques; he experiments with different types of lesson plans in order to discover those that work best for his students. He understands that not every town is the same and neither are the kids in them — what works best for a particular group in Ghana may not be all that effective in classrooms in China, Saudi Arabia, or Berlin, Conn. So every year, he repeats the process out of his own good nature just to give us the opportunity to obtain the best possible education we can. He puts us first. In the classroom and beyond, Bosso has also shown us that we are not only a reflection of the efSee Bosso, page 12

Community shares limelight with Bosso By Olivia L. Lawrence The Berlin Citizen
Teacher Dave Bosso spoke to the crowd during a Berlin High School ceremony Oct. 18, when it was announced that he was the Connecticut Teacher of the Year. He said his success “reflects a collective commitment of the town.” That was one theme that came across loud and clear. Michael Linehan, of ING Financial Advisors, which holds a seat on the Teacher of the Year Council Board of Directors, had this to say about Bosso’s honor; “It’s a salute to Berlin as a MVP.” The week following Bosso’s award, some town officials said it was a pleasant surprise that they, too, were getting calls and emails of congratulations — an acknowlegement that the whole town shared in this success. There was another theme that went along with Bosso’s story, one that is quintessentially local. Again, a quote from him: “It all began at Berlin High School.” He went to Berlin high as a

dent, senate, or congressional election. Surprisingly, a large percent of Berlin’s voters will stay away from the polls on Nov 8. These seven individuals will have a major influence on the quality of your children’s education, whether business finds Berlin attractive, and what investment we make in town infrastructure, which will in turn impact what you pay in taxes. Read the literature, make an informed decision, and then vote on Nov 8. Personally, I hope you’ll choose the Republican slate. George Millerd Republican Town Committee, Chairman

(She was there for Bosso’s celebration.) Former Superintendent Richard Paskiewicz humorously asked for credit for giving Bosso his first teaching job which led to Bosso’s introduction to another teacher, Jennifer Stewart, who would become his wife. Mayor Adam Salina said elect their town leaders for the next two years. The Berlin Democrats, under the outstanding leadership of Mayor Adam Salina, have been proud to serve this community for the last eight years. The Democratic majority on the Town Council has presided over grand list growth, renewed economic development, more convenient and cost-effective trash removal, improvements to our school and enhancements to our infrastructure and town services. All of this was achieved while maintaining an outstanding bond rating and a stable mill rate. On Election Day, we humbly ask for your continued support. Please vote row A, so together we can continue to move our community forward. Fred Jortner Democratic Town Committee, Chairman

he didn’t come to speak at the event as mayor so much as he came as Bosso’s friend. Success isn’t measured by the awards you receive, Salina said, “the measure of success is in all the people who turned out today.” The state’s Commissioner of Education Stefan Pryor spoke about Bosso’s role in creating a “local-global collaboration.” While Bosso is a hometown boy, he has traveled extensively and brought those experiences back to BHS classroom 217 where he teaches social studies, surrounded by flags from around the world, representing his travels and interests in the global community. Last summer, he was in Ghana teaching and Pryor noted how Bosso’s dedication to learning served “students here and abroad.” BHS student Lia D’Amato said, “When he learns something new, so do we. You are our Teacher of the Year, every year.” Bosso is now among those teachers to be considered for the title of National Teacher of the Year. Superintendent of Schools Dave Erwin said he had no trouble imagining Bosso could represent the community and state on the national level, meeting with the Obamas when the president announces the country’s top teacher in June 2012.

Food for Friends Stop & Shop kicks-off 22nd its annual Food for Friends program Friday, Oct. 28. The program will run in the chain’s 398 stores through Dec. 8. Customers who donate $1, $3, or $5 at their local Stop & Shop will help support hunger relief organizations within their local communities as well as regionally. Customers who donate $5 to Food for Friends will also receive a $5 coupon booklet from Kraft Foods (while supplies last). Stop & Shop’s goal is to raise more than $2 million this holiday season. Based on the U.S. Census Bureau 2010 poverty report, last year, 17.2 million households were food insecure, the highest number ever recorded in the U.S. As economic times remain tough for many families, regional food banks and pantries are depending more on donations from company initiatives such as Stop & Shop’s Food for Friends program. In its 22nd year, Stop & Shop’s Food for Friends program will deliver 100 percent of the dollars raised – 60 percent will be allocated directly to local food pantries; 40 percent will be donated to regional food banks. Last year, Stop & Shop’s Food for Friends program raised $2 million to feed families in need. “This year’s program could not have come at a better time as demand for food across the country is on the rise, placing more of a burden on local and regional food providers who are trying to do more with less,” said Mark McGowan, president, Stop & Shop New England Division. “Programs like Food for Friends are a great way for our customers to get involved with helping their local community.” In addition to in-store donations, next month Stop & Shop will deliver 20,000 turkeys to local hunger relief organizations across the Northeast, including the Connecticut Food Bank.

quiet’ can also be challenging,” according to Rave. In addition, those with strict dietary concerns can bring their own snacks. “We have all ages and all across the spectrum,” Savitski said. The series debuted last month with Dolphin’s Tale, a movie starring Berlin
native Austin Stowell, who put in an appearance for the movie’s debut. This month’s performance is scheduled for 10 a.m., Saturday, Oct. 29. The movie is Puss in Boots, rated PG. The Berlin site is the second Rave theater in the state to offer sensory sensitive cinema; the first was the Connecticut Post, in Milford, also part of the Rave chain. “They shared their experience,” Savitski said about how the Berlin site went about adapting its showings for the series. “We’ll do anything we can to make it better for families.” Nationally, other Rave theaters have offered the sensory sensitive cinema, too. The approach was derived from autism support groups and input from parents and others who were looking for a solution. The response has been “awesome,” Savitski said.
“Rave has really been reaching out to the community, to do whatever it can, to make it fun.” Savitski said general Manager Kellie Koshinsky was an enthusiastic supporter of the move. The sensory sensitive cinema is shown in a regular theater, however, Rave states, “We want to emphasize that during these performances, the lighting will be left on high, the sound will be turned down and our patrons are free to talk, sing, or move around the theater during the show. The purpose of sensory sensitive cinema is to control the environment and provide an atmosphere in which they will feel comfortable and also to allow the parents of the children not to have to worry about the noise their kids are making.” For more information about this program, call a manager at (860) 829-1277.

pantry, there are more new intakes (people) who have never used it before are making inquiries.” Community services offers camperships or financial aid for children for summer camp and “we exhausted our funds, we had to turn people away,” this season, he said. Town Manager Denise Mc-
Nair said these indicators seem to be in line with how she thinks the economy is affecting residents. She hasn’t seen an increase in areas such as foreclosures — “these haven’t increased, and they haven’t decreased” — but economic pain is there at another level. “I think a lot of this flies under the radar,” McNair said. In two-income families, one person gets laid off and the standard of living is im-
pacted. People find it harder and harder to make ends meet, she said. “They don’t want others to know, they feel there is a stigma.” Therefore, residents will access services which are confidential, such as the food pantry or reduced school lunches, she said. They will make other economies, too. Such as choosing the library instead of a more expensive activity. McNair said. “People with two incomes, who have one partner who has lost a job, or had a reduction at work, can find they are really having a harder time.” The couple or family will manage to keep their house but “will be losing on other grounds. They will do what needs to be done without calling attention” to their situation. Another issue may be how to pay for health insurance, she said. However, McNair said “we are fortunate to the extent
there have not been a lot of foreclosures” and often a foreclosure has been a longstanding issue. Truit said “it looks like intakes will be up for energy assistance.” However, there
have been federal cutbacks on that assistance of about 40 percent. “The basic amount is down quite a bit. People are going to have a hard time through the winter on what’s available.”

Central Connecticut Conference Cross Country Championship
Lady Redcoats topple CCC South giant By Nick Carroll The Berlin Citizen
Bristol Central’s reign has ended — sort of. The longtime ruler of the Central Connecticut Conference South Division was bested by Berlin at the CCC cross country championships, held Oct. 20 at Wickham Park in Manchester. The Lady Redcoats won the division with 28 points. Bristol Central was second with 50. However, because Bristol Central got the best of Berlin during the regular season, the teams will share the CCC South crown. “This truly was a team victory,” BHS coach Steve Soucy said. “We spent the last three days going over the game plan and talking about the spots we needed to take to make it close.” The Lady Redcoats were well-prepared, but the day of the race, the locals’ No. 3 runner fell ill. “The girls were a little nervous,” said Soucy, “but as we have said all year, we have 12 kids that can run varsity for this team and everyone will just have to move up one position.” The BHS harriers answered the call. All seven of Berlin’s runners earned All-CCC South honors. “That is very unusual,” said Soucy, pointing out that just three Lady Redcoats garnered all-conference recognition in 2010. Kaylene Sylvain was the first Lady Redcoat across the finish line last week. She was third in the CCC South with a time of 21:51.86. Teammate Brittany Sullivan was fourth (22:13.52) Rounding out the Berlin slate was Nicole Sylvain (sixth, 22:39.96), Taylor Lupini (seventh, 22:41.40), Alex Carbonell (eighth, 22:47.60), Paige Young (ninth, 23:01.49) and Kristen Madeia (11th, 23:06.38). “Other than how important my individual accomplishments are to me, I think this is one of the greatest team accomplishments of my high school career,” said Kaylene Sylvain, a senior captain. “We’ve always talked about how good Bristol Central is and how hard we would have to work to beat them. It was the best
feeling when I realized we finally did it.” Sylvain has seen the BHS girls cross country program make great strides during her career. Her freshman year, the locals had less than 10 runners in action. This season, Berlin’s roster is at 22. Sylvain said the key to the Lady Redcoats’ success this fall is the team’s camaraderie and focus. “We are a very close team and we work hard to push each other. Whenever someone is having an off day, there are other girls that are able to step up and run just as well,” she said. “Coach Soucy gives so much of his time to our team, and we all have a lot of respect for him. We try our hardest every practice because we always remind ourselves of the great possibilities our team has.” The CCC championship was originally scheduled for Oct. 19, but rain See Lady, page 21

BHS’s James Dwyer closes in on the finish line at the 2011 Central Connecticut Conference championships. Dwyer, a sophomore, paced the Redcoats that afternoon.
Paced by Dwyer, BHS boys finish fourth By Nick Carroll The Berlin Citizen Berlin High School junior Ryan Kliszewski summed up his team’s performance at the Central Connecticut Conference cross country championships thusly: “We did decent. It wasn’t our best outing, but it wasn’t our worst.” What the Redcoats did was finish fourth in the South Division at the event, held Oct. 20 at soggy Wickham Park in Manchester. Kliszewski ran about a minute slower than he planned to that afternoon. He navigated the 3.1-mile
course in a time of 20:25.55, which landed him in 25th place in the CCC South. “I don’t really have any excuses,” said Kliszewski. “But it was real slippery. Your feet sink. The driest parts were on the outside, so if you want to be on comfortable land you’re going to run a little extra.” Berlin’s lead man at the CCC meet, James Dwyer, also spoke of the lessthan-ideal course conditions. “The whole nose of my shoe completely dug in,” said the sophomore, who finished 10th in the division (19:21.66).

in games now.” Berlin downed Bristol Central, 2-1, in a key match up Monday. The state tournament is on the horizon for the Berlin High School boys soccer team, but the Central Connecticut Conference South Division championship is not in the Redcoats’ immediate future. A 2-0 loss to Bristol Eastern last week knocked the locals out of CCC South title contention. Berlin shook off that defeat, however, and went on to top Platt, 2-1, Friday. Armand Cano netted a stunning goal against Platt from 30 yards out. BHS coach Dave Francalangia said it was “one of the best shots I have seen in a long time.” Cano’s brother, Brajan, assisted on the score and accounted for the Redcoats’ second goal against Platt. Alex Bednarek had the assist on that one. Heading into this week, Berlin owned a record of 7-42. The Berlin High School girls swim team defeated Conard, 101-85, last week to improve to 8-1 on the year. This was the Lady Red-

They’re in. With time running out to do so, Monday, the Berlin High School volleyball team punched its ticket to the CIAC Class L state tournament. The Lady Redcoats downed Bulkeley, 3-0, that night to improve to 8-8. Kelly Walsh, Mackenzie Freeland and Lia D’Amato combined for 21 kills against Bulkeley. At press time, the Berlin High School girls soccer team was alone atop the Central Connecticut Conference South Division standings. Coach Steve Yanosy is not clearing out space in the trophy space just yet, however. “It will be a dog fight,” Yanosy said of the home stretch. With just a handful of regular season games remaining, at press time Berlin owned a record of 8-1-2 in the CCC South. Nipping at the Lady Redcoats’ heels were Plainville, Bristol Central and Bristol Eastern. Last week, Berlin battled Bristol Eastern to a 1-1 stalemate. Friday, the Lady Redcoats fell to Platt, 1-0. Yanosy said his troops had trouble finishing during the recent stretch. “We obviously have been working hard at it, and we continue to do so. We just need to do it

Booster’s biggest fund-raiser coming up By Sharon Garfi Special to The Citizen The Berlin High School Athletic Booster Association, Inc. is a group of parents, teachers, coaches and others who support the student-athletes and the athletic program at BHS. Our main goal is to raise funds for our sports teams and to supplement, when at all possible, the budgets that our coaches are given. Presently, there are 21 teams that participate at the high school, and this number continues to grow. The Boosters, a non-profit entity, make annual disbursements for things such as: plaques, trophies, sweatshirts, and scholarships.

postponed the event for a day. The delay didn’t allow the Wickham Park grounds enough time to dry, however, making for a muddy meet. “The conditions were nasty,” said Soucy. “There were several places where the mud was six inches deep, or more. That being said, our girls were actually one minute and 10 seconds faster than we were a couple of weeks ago when we ran the Wickham Invitational in dry conditions. The girls were just focused and not going to let the course be an excuse, or be what decided the race.” Berlin will look to keep the good times rolling at the CIAC Class MM state championship meet slated for Saturday, Oct. 29 at Wickham Park.

good work for Berlin.
C team Berlin Bears 33, New Hartford 18: Trailing 6-0, Berlin answered with a 15-yard touchdown run by Raylend Wilson. The conversion was good, a three-yard run by Zach Hrubiec. New Hartford regained the lead in the second before Wilson returned an interception for a score to give the Bears a 13-12 lead at the half. Berlin opened the scoring in the third with an eight-play drive led on the ground by Tyler Cop and Alex Halkias. Hrubiec capped the march with a five-yard TD run. Sam Capodice hit Giancarlo Tufano on the conversion pass. The Bears padded their lead in the fourth on a five-yard touchdown run by Wilson. Capodice connected with Wilson for the extra point. The victors, who improved to 6-0, completed their scoring with a threeyard TD run by Hrubiec. Offensive linemen Ryan Terlecky, Tyler Tralli, Aaron Gauvin, Nick Paszczuk, Sam Veronesi, Sam Reidel and Andrew Brochu turned in
Soccer U-12 girls Berlin 5, West Hartford 1: Hannah Schulz and Nikki Xiarhos each scored and added an assist as Berlin bested West Hartford. Alexa Kavarski, Cameron Michalek and Alex Comstock added one goal apiece for the victors. Brianna Lennehan and Tina Petry also played well for Berlin. Berlin 1, Farmington-A 0: Nikki Xiarhos scored in the first half and goalies Jess Gaetgens and Cara Wade made the lead stick. Hannah Schulz and Cameron Michalek anchored the Berlin defense. Alex Comstock and Alexa Kavarski were the locals’ offensive standouts.

Mooreland Hill School 6, The Ethel Walker School 1: Shannon Martin scored the first goal of her career, and goalie Sierra Reynolds made five saves as Mooreland Hill rolled.
Boys Continued from page 19 “It was awful.” Dwyer was pleased with his showing last week, but is looking to make more of a splash next year. “Definitely train harder over the summer,” he said of his plan. “This year I just did distance over the summer, pushed all summer. That brought me to a good spot, but I feel this summer I need an even number of speed work, hill work and distance, and I’ll come in a lot stronger.” Matt Kall was the second Redcoat across the finish line at the CCC championships (12th, 19:38.42). He was followed by Will Cavedon (13th, 19:40.05).
For their efforts, Dwyer, Kall and Cavedon earned allconference honors. Bristol Central claimed the 2011 CCC South Division title. Plainville and Middletown rounded out the top three. Berlin had hoped to sneak past Middletown, which edged the locals during the regular season. “We had to keep our pack tight and close to their second runner,” BHS coach Steve Soucy pointed out. “Our pack split a bit in the last mile and (Middletown) ended up getting us by three points overall. They were able to slip two runners in before our fifth on the final hill to give them the win.” Next up, Berlin will compete in the CIAC Class MM state meet Saturday, Oct. 29 at Wickham Park.

coats’ first-ever win against Conard. “They are a great swim team with lots of talent,� BHS coach Amanda McCarthy said of the West Hartford swimmers. “We went into the meet knowing it would be close. I told the girls they would have to swim their best if they wanted to win. “Swimming is a mental sport, and the team was mentally prepared for this meet. I am very proud of the girls and what they accomplished.� Berlin’s Kelsey Kozikowski won the 200 freestyle and the 100 butterfly that day. Teammate Kate Piotrowicz
was another double-winner (50 freestyle, 100 freestyle). Joanna Wojtun (first place, 200 individual medley) and Amanda Martino (first place, 100 backstroke; second place, 500 freestyle) also turned in good swims for the Lady Redcoats. Berlin swept Conard in relays. The winning relays were, 200 medley: Martino, Katherine Burek, Megan Pitkin, Briana Cass; 200 freestyle: Piotrowicz, Taylor Recck, Wojtun, Kozikowski; 400 freestyle: Piotrowicz, Cass, Recck, Kozikowski.

There has been an unusually high number of black kittens this kitten season. Greaser and Lolo are among the adorable black kittens waiting for you. In this country, black cats are considered unlucky, but in England, China and Asia, black cats are believed to bring good luck. In 18th and 19th century England, fishermen’s wives kept black cats because they believed this helped to keep their husbands safe at sea. If one ran in front of a sailor as he walked up a pier, this would bring him good luck. However, if it crossed his path, it meant bad luck. At this time, cats were carried on ships to keep rats and mice at bay. If a black cat was thrown, or accidentally fell overboard, this was believed to bring bad luck in the form of a terrible storm. Sailors paid up to $1,000 to have a black cat for their ship. For more information about Greaser and Lolo or other animals available for adoption, call (860) 828-5287. 1218541

Berlin Briefs Driver safety for vets In honor of Veteran’s Day and in recognition of their dedication and commitment to service, the AARP Driver Safety Program is waiving its fees to classroom courses for veterans in November. All military personnel, active duty or retired, are eligible to receive a free DSP classroom course in November. Military personnel include those individuals who serve or have served in the U.S. Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, National Guard/Reserves or Coast Guard. Military spouses (including widows and widowers) and dependent children are also eligible to take the class free of charge (as long as they present valid military spouse, widower or dependent identification.) The course is usually $12 or AARP members; $14 for nonmembers.
The AARP Driver Safety Program helps drivers learn safety strategies and adapt to physical and cognitive changes related to aging. The course teaches defense driving skills and provides a refresher course for the rules of the road. Participants in Connecticut qualify for an automobile insurance discount by completing the classroom course. The free promotion is for the classroom course only, it does not apply to the online course. To locate a course, visit www.aarp.org/findacourse or call 1-888-AARP-NOW (1888-227-7669). For more information, visit www.aarp.org/veterans or email drive@aarp.org.
VFW membership drive Berlin V. F. W. Post 10732 is conducting a membership drive. The post hall, at 152 Massiro Drive, is scheduled
to be open Thursdays from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. to process applicants. Any citizen of the United States may be a member of the veterans of foreign wars of the United States who is serving or has served honorably in the armed forces of the U.S. in a foreign war, insurrection, or expedition which service has been recognized as campaign medal service. If you qualify, we would appreciate your interest. Due to the deaths and aging of World War II veterans, membership has dropped rapidly. For more information and to make an appointment, call Sam D’Amato at (860) 8283098. When applying, please bring a copy of your dd214 (Army discharge) for proof of service.
