Veterans honored for their ‘Forgotten War’ service By Olivia L. Lawrence The Berlin Citizen

Scores of Berlin veterans who served in the Korean War — an undeclared war — were honored during a special event held last week at Berlin High School. The Oct. 27 event was one of many scheduled around the state in an initiative organized by Secretary of the State Susan Bysiewicz. Previously, she held similar ceremonies for World War II veterans. Bysiewicz was at the Berlin event to offer her thanks and a certificate of appreciation to still living veterans who served in that military action which took place from 1950 to 1953. Town Clerk Kate Wall said any Berlin Korean veterans who were unable to attend can pick up their certificates at the Town Clerk’s office. Nearly 230 Berlin residents were eligible for the award and a majority of them turned out for the event. Bysiewicz noted that there was “no shared glory” for Korean veterans, as had been given to World War II veterans on their return, but only “second-class status” for their service. “Today we are here to let you know, you are never forgotten and you are appreciated,” she said. In Connecticut 326 members of the military were killed in that war and 80 are still listed as missing in action. Several Korean War veterans spoke at the event. Robert Dornfried asked the audience to remember “the only fellow from Berlin who lost his life” in Korea, just weeks before the war ended; his friend, Thomas O’Connell. See Veterans, page 8

Berlin High School held its Homecoming Weekend festivities over the weekend. Crowned at the homecoming game Friday night at Sage Park are Homecoming Queen, Emma Rustico and Homecoming King, Austin Nunes.

(For updates on the election check The Citizen website at berlincitizen.com. All results below are unofficial.) On election night, Rep. Joe Aresimowicz, a Democrat, won over newcomer Jim Sargent, a Southington Republican. Rep. Catherine Abercrombie also returns; she ran unopposed. The other member of the Berlin legislative delegation, state Senator Donald DeFronzo dominated in Berlin, winning here over New Britain Republican Henry Zembko 4,924 to 3,292; however final results for District 6 were not available at press time. “We worked hard enough for it,” Aresimowicz said as the results came in at Democratic headquarters in Berlin Nov. 2. For all of District 30 (includes Southington), Aresimowicz took 5,640 votes to Sargent’s 3,916. Berlin also followed the state’s voting trend for the U.S. Senate seat, giving Richard Blumenthal 4,319 votes, to Linda McMahon’s 4,081. Blumenthal was the projected winner. The governor’s race was closely contended with late polls in Bridgeport holding the final count up longer than expected. In Berlin,

Final statewide results were not available at press time. Statewide, Congressman John Larson (D) had a wide margin over his Republican opponent Ann Brickley (R). In Berlin, Larson won 4,393 votes to Brickley’s 3,764. For attorney general, George Jepson led Martha Dean at press time; the Berlin vote was 4,251 Jepson and 3,645 Dean. For the Board of Education slots, the vote was close (within a few ballots) as to who would take the partial term (due to a resignation), however, all four candidates will be seated: Julie M. Erickson, John M. Richards, Cynthia B. Kobus; Kathleen A. O’Donnell-Moss.

Farmington Bank opens with a community-style party By Maura Gaffney Special to The Citizen

Farmington Bank held a grand-opening party Oct. 30 at its new Berlin branch at

1191 Farmington Ave. The bank’s parking lot was temporarily transformed into a mini-carnival, complete with candy apples, fried dough, face painting, music and

dancing, even a clown with balloons. The Berlin branch is the third new location for Farmington Bank this year. “We’ve had a tremendous amount of growth this year which has been really exciting for us,” said Dara Macchi, assistant vice president, marketing manager. The bank now has 15 branches in the local region. Macchi said the bank is “genuinely interested” in the communities it serves and that it donated about $600,000 last year to different organizations, non-profits, and

Save those leaves for a perfect garden next season By John Biella Special to The Citizen

As I sat down to write this, I debated over one of two possible topics. One is my most valuable gardening secret; and two, how easy and beneficial it is to compost organic materials. As I tried to decide, I realized that the two are really only one. Let me explain. I will begin with composting. If you like gardening as I do, you know that in the course of growing plants there’s always unwanted plant material. During the

growing cycle this material comes from sources such as weeding, thinning, deadheading, and trimming. In fall most plants, with the exception of evergreens, begin to go dormant or simply die. In either case a tremendous amount of valuable organic material becomes available. During the growing season plants extract nutrients, water and minerals from the soil as well as gasses from the air. Almost magically, these raw elements are converted into beautiful flowers, delicious fruits and vegetables. Not all 1172490

of those extracted elements are used by the plant. Some remain locked within the cell just waiting to be released. During the process of photosynthesis food is made for the plant and stored in various places. Some of the elements and compounds created within are released in the air, but some remain in stems, roots and leaves. Composted leaves are called leaf mold. Not a pretty name — but really a valuable soil amendment. There is no real secret in composting. Any one can do it. Technically speaking, composting mimics nature’s cycle of rotting or decay. You can watch this process happen on the forest floor. As leaves and sticks fall and accumulate, microorganisms like bacteria and fungi begin breaking them down. The simple components that remain were once used to create them. These components

now can be used to benefit other plants. You can read books about the science of composting, but let’s keep it simple. If you create a pile of organic material, and give it enough time, it will compost all by itself. Now for one of my best gardening secrets. This tip will save you time, money and work, not to mention make your plants grow better. Starting now, collect as many fallen leaves as possible. If you can chop them up with your lawn mower, that’s even better. They will take up less space and will be easier to work with in the spring. Any type of deciduous tree is fine. Leave them in a huge pile or stuff them in heavy duty plastic garbage bags. Depending upon the amount of moisture in the leaves, some will begin to compost over the winter. Come spring and early summer, after you

have planted your vegetable or flower garden, spread a two inch layer of leaves around all your plants, and water them in. Throughout the growing season, the leaves will act as an organic mulch and weed block as well as retaining moisture in the soil. Slowly, they’ll begin to decay and release trapped nutrients, including hard-to-find trace elements. By the end of the growing season they will be completely composted right in your garden. Adding organic material in this way will both amend sandy soil to hold more water and clay soil to become more porous. I use this technique in all my beds. It works great with flowers as well vegetables. Visually the brown color of decaying leaves looks quite natural in plant beds as well as being a great amendment See Garden, page 22

Edison Occhi, who served with the Marines, recalled “good moments and bad moments” and the loss of “good friends.” Occhi said “it was bitterly cold — a brutal thing, 20 below.” The military didn’t have the protective equipment and clothing in those days, that’s available now. “We were young. We survived. I got banged up a little, but I’m here,” he said. Bysiewicz read a quote from President Clinton’s speech at the 1995 dedication of the Korean War Monument in Washington D. C.: “In 1950, our nation was weary of war, but 1.5 million Americans left their family and friends and their homes to help to defend freedom for a

Edward Michael Timko, beloved father of Caroline Timko Van Austin, entered into eternal peace on Oct. 29, 2010 surrounded by his loving and caring family. He was born June 1, 1924 in Kensington where he was a life-long resident. He was the son of the late Michael and Anna (Kappa) Timko. He was educated in the Berlin Public School System and Connecticut State Trade School. He proudly and honorably served his country in the 24th Infantry Division of the U.S. Army. He was stationed in the Philippines, Okinawa, and occupied Japan where he served in peace time as fire chief in Kokura, Japan supervising a fire fighting crew consisting of 28 American soldiers and 16 Japanese. “The department had an excellent record due entirely to his untiring effort and conscientious devotion to duty.” He received a World War II Victory Medal and Army of Occupation Medal and he was promoted to Sergeant. He was a self-taught and self-made expert in whatever he pursued and enjoyed; he took on the most challenging projects with his extensive set of skills including construction, carpentry, plumbing, farming, and heavy equipment operator. He always used these skills not only to excel in his career, but also to help those around him. In 1941, he became a volun-

teer member of The Kensington Fire Department, where he served as firefighter, ambulance driver, and later as Commissioner. He was also one of the founding members of The South Kensington Fire Department, and a member of the Veterans of Foreign War of Berlin; he helped build the facility on Farmington Avenue and was able to get many of the building materials donated. Happily, he was able to enjoy his retirement with his loving wife Jean and they traveled extensively throughout the world visiting Australia, Alaska, Hawaii, New Zealand, Aruba, Florida, Louisiana, Mexico, many mid-western states and Bermuda. He especially enjoyed traveling to Maine with his family every summer to enjoy his favorite lobster dinner. He always came back with so many tales of his adventures to share with his many friends. He was also an avid hunter, skilled fisherman, and a dedicated Red Sox Fan. He was truly the rock of strength that we all came to admire and depend upon. He was always there, always available, forever loving and forever faithful. Despite his failing health, he had an unbelievable determination and always had time to spend with his family and friends; he loved to host many family dinners, cookouts and celebrations. We will forever cherish those memories. He was incredibly supportive and involved in the career of his daughter, who was a huge source of pride and pleasure for him. He loved life and treasured his family. He was a dedicated mem-

We must support our veterans By Richard Rampone What is the Berlin Veterans Commission? What duties do they have? Who are the members? Why exactly do we have or need them? I don’t want anyone to think of this as sour grapes. As most citizens in Berlin know, I was a member of the original Berlin Veterans Advisory Board. I had to give that up when I became a member of the Berlin Town Council. After the Town Council stint, there was an opening on the newly named Berlin Veterans Commission to which Mayor Salina appointed me to return. In the two years I was a member, we did some really great things for veterans as well as the Town of Berlin. Some of our accomplish-

ments were to financially assist needy veterans, place a new and beautiful veterans monument at Hubbard School, also a new monument at the East Berlin pool and what I personally consider the best looking monument in the area dedicated to the Marine Corps at the park by Paper Goods Pond. We got the town on board with the Veterans Memorial Park located between the American Legion building and the Veterans of Foreign Wars building, to which ground was recently broken to make that park a reality. The commission did and still does place new flags at the cemetaries for our fallen veterans. They did and still do all of the work on the Memorial Day parade which now comes down Farmington Avenue, a change that was originally done under the Veterans Advisory Board when I was a member. Finally my term was up and the Town Council chose not to re-appoint me. All of that being said, my question once again is as stated above. There are five members from different branches of the military, different political organizations and belonging to the VFW, American Legion or both. Do they have specific duties? Well nothing actually written, mostly just by past practice. They do have an approved budget of which the Memorial Day cemetary flags are paid for along with the parade. What I am concerned about is what they do for veterans. I read and hear about the Berlin Lions Club making it their mission to collect winter clothing for the benefit of our homless veterans. A very worthy cause. For the past several years, I have volunteered at the “Stand Down” gathering at the Rocky Hill Veterans Home. It is heartbreaking to see

so many of our veterans, both young and old, putting their pride aside and asking for help. Our veterans Commission could and should get more involved with veterans. At the very least, at no cost to the town, help the Lions with their clothing drive. Lenny Tubbs, a member of the Lions, who is organizing the drive, will be more that happy to accept the help of the Commission, I’m sure. For those that do not know, the Veterans Commission meets on the first Tuesday of the month at the American Legion Post at 7 p.m. Much like a council meeting, there is a audience of citizens at which you are welcome to speak. I urge you to attend and let our veteran representatives know that our support of veterans in need should be of prime concern. Some of these men and women have given all but their lives to help keep this country free. We can and must support them.

Political Notes

Aresimowicz welcomes ombudsman

State Representatives Joseph Aresimowicz (DBerlin/Southington) and Zeke Zalaski (D-Southington) welcomed the appointment of Maya Loewenberg as the state’s Permit Ombudsman announced by Governor Rell. The new office is the result of legislation supported by Rep. Aresimowicz and Rep. Zalaski, who both serve on the Commerce Committee which has oversight over economic, business and regulatory issues. The office of Permit Ombudsman will work to streamline Connecticut’s permitting process, which has been an obstacle to economic growth, according to many small businesses who have been frustrated by red tape and dealing with bureaucratic roadblocks. Among a range of responsibilities, the new permit ombudsman will coordinate the permitting process working with businesses and related state agencies on projects that hopefully will create more jobs in the state.

DeFronzo receives award State Senator Donald DeFronzo (D-New Britain) was recognized recently by the Connecticut First Coalition—a statewide organization of community, business and political leaders dedicated to helping protect taxpayers and create jobs— with a 2010 Leadership Award for his efforts to help rebuild Connecticut’s economy. Over the past year, DeFronzo advocated for a comprehensive plan that would have created more than 16,000 jobs and boosted the state’s infrastructure by placing targeted investments in five key areas over the next two fiscal years. DeFronzo has also consistently supported efforts to increase the number of Connecticut-based companies that qualify for state construction and other contracts. The Connecticut First Coalition seeks to encourage job growth in Connecticut; to encourage spending more of the state’s tax dollars in Connecticut; to support and improve training and apprenticeship programs; to promote job safety programs; to ensure minority participation; to fight the misuse of tax dollars; and to protect Connecticut taxpayers. The coalition supports laws that support responsible Connecticut contractors and the people who work for them. For more information about the Connecticut First Coalition, please visit www.ctfirst.com.

Partnership boosts Thanksgiving help for families in need Residents can chip in where they shop By Olivia L. Lawrence The Berlin Citizen Times are tough and the local Rotary and Liberty Bank of Berlin have teamed together to help. “We’ve never done this before,” said Elaine Pavasaris, president of the Kensington Berlin Sunrise Rotary. The club hopes to raise $1,000 and has placed “canisters all over town” at various business; numerous shops, grocery stores and restaurants are participating. “The money goes to the Berlin food pantry…these are very difficult times.” Whatever money the Rotary can raise, Liberty Bank of Berlin will match it with “25 percent on the dollar up to $20,000,” said Michele Tine, assistant vice president at Liberty Bank of Berlin. “Whatever (the Rotary) collects we will match.” The drive ends Nov. 22 and that’s when the financial match will be finalized. “We’ve donated towards Thanksgiving for years, but this is a way of maximizing the donations,” Pavasaris, Liberty Bank has been involved in this kind of philanthropic endeavor for several years and has formed partnerships with Rotaries throughout the state. The Berlin Rotary is its 23rd Rotary partnership. Grants coordinator for Liberty Bank Foundation, Toral Maher, said funding priorities are preventative programs for children and families, basic human services, affordable housing, and nonprofit capacity building. The foundation helps low to moderate income residents in its market area to “achieve their personal goals and reaching their potential.” “We advance this mission by providing financial support to nonprofit organiza-

tions by acting as a philanthropic leader in the communities,â&#x20AC;? Maher said. Last year, the foundation distributed $93,000 in assistance and the goal is $100,000 for this year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everyone is feeling the pinch,â&#x20AC;? said Patricia Ksiazkowski, Kensington Berlin Rotary Club, Thanksgiving dinner drive co-chair. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been at job fairs and people are desperate to get jobs. There are people working work less hours or who have lost job and are just barely making it. There are more people (in that situation) in Berlin and you just donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think of itâ&#x20AC;? being the case here.â&#x20AC;? There are many ways to help out and the club encourages other organizations and businesses to get involved. For example, give a portion of one dayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s proceeds to the dinner fund. Or schools could hold a â&#x20AC;&#x153;spirit dayâ&#x20AC;?, such as paying a fee for â&#x20AC;&#x153;hat dayâ&#x20AC;? and donate the proceeds to the Thanksgiving drive, Ksiazkowski suggested. Ksiazkowski said the Rotary is working with the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s community services, Director Antoinette Pajor, to help â&#x20AC;&#x153;provide a turkey dinner for those having a difficult time.â&#x20AC;? Income-eligible residents (screened by the community services department) will receive a gift certificate to a local food store. The pantry does not distribute perishable items and the gift certificate is a way to give recipients flexibility. People may â&#x20AC;&#x153;not necessarily have the traditional Thanksgiving dinner,â&#x20AC;? Ksiazkowski said, but â&#x20AC;&#x153;everybody will be taken care of for Thanksgiving.â&#x20AC;?

Pine straw, as it’s called, works especially well in beds for acid-loving plants like blueberries, azaleas and rhododendrons. Every year I use all the leaves I collect and wish I had more. Try it once and I guarantee you will become as addicted as I am. At this time of the year I

Flu clinics

The Central Connecticut Health District has scheduled flu clinics in Berlin, Newington, Rocky Hill, and Wethersfield from 3 to 6 p.m. Seasonal flu vaccination is recommended for everyone age 6 months and older. As usual, the flu vaccine protects people from the 3 strains of influenza that are likely to be circulating this flu season. For the 2010-2011 season, the vaccine is comprised of A/California (2009 H1N1), A/Perth (H3N2), and B/Brisbane. Flu vaccines provide annual protection

and flu strains change regularly, so it is important to get a new flu shot every year. (Note: even if you received your H1N1 vaccination last year, you need to be immunized again this season.) The CCHD will hold flu vaccination clinics according to the following schedule: Tuesday, Nov. 9 from 3 to 6 p.m. at the Rocky Hill Community Center, 55 Church Street, Rocky Hill. Friday, Nov. 12 from 3 to 6 p.m. at the Newington Senior and Disabled Center, 120 Cedar Street, Newington. Tuesday, Nov. 16 from 3 to 6 p.m. at the Community Cen-

ter in Berlin. For more information, cost and insurance information, call the CCHD at (860) 721-2822.

Home sweet Homecoming: Gridders stay undefeated By Nick Carroll The Berlin Citizen

The game lived up to the hype — for awhile at least. Berlin and Bristol Eastern, the beasts of Division III in the Central Connecticut Conference, teams boasting a combined record of 12-0, went into halftime last week deadlocked at 16. But the drama faded quickly after the break. In

fact, with several minutes remaining in regulation a sizeable portion of the large Scalise Field crowd began heading for the exits. Powered by its punishing ground attack, Berlin scored the first 24 points of the second half to knock the wind out of Bristol Eastern Friday, Homecoming night at Sage Park. The Redcoats would prevail 40-24. “We always say the open-

ing drive of the third quarter is the most important drive of the game. We were able to drive down, stick it in and get the two. And I thought that put them on their heels a little bit,” BHS coach John Capodice said. Berlin quarterback Zach Zulkiewicz scored the first two touchdowns of the second half, both coming in the third quarter. Max DeLorenzo accounted for the Red-

coats’ final TD. DeLorenzo finished with two touchdowns and 124 yards rushing. Tevin Grant put Berlin on the board in the first quarter. Grant, playing in his first game with the Redcoats,

rolled up 69 yards on the ground and hauled in three two-point conversion passes from Zulkiewicz. Zulkiewicz also teamed up

Berlin High School’s Joe Dellaquila thought the rest of his senior season may be lost. But that was the least of his concerns. A two-way starter, Dellaquila went helmet-to-hel-

met with a Rocky Hill guy Oct. 22, on the first play of the game, and the impact did more than just ring his bell. “Right after that my neck went into straight pain, and I felt it going down the left side of my body. My left leg was tingling,” Dellaquila explained.

“I was nervous about the neck and everything like that. But the good thing was I was able to feel everything down my spine. Really, it was just the tingling in my left leg that really worried me.” Dellaquila told the medical personnel on hand about the tingling. “Once I said that, they said ‘we’re going to have to shut you down.’” Dellaquila was taken off the field in an ambulance, as

Spikers hand Tarigo 400th victory By Nick Carroll The Berlin Citizen

Photo by Matt Leidemer

Berlin High School’s Joe Dellaquila wrestles down a Bristol Eastern player Friday night. A week prior, Dellaquila sustained a neck injury which resulted in him being taken from the field in an ambulance.

Nearly three decades have passed, but Bob Tarigo remembers, clearly, his first match as coach of the Berlin High School volleyball team — the Lady Redcoats fell to Farmington on the road. Tarigo recalls the bus ride home as well. He said his players were singing, apparently unfazed by the loss. “I didn’t understand,” Tarigo said. But the young coach bit his lip until the team reconvened for practice the following day. There, he brought up the lively bus ride, and questioned his troops’ seriousness. Tarigo said his team captain responded with:

Berlin High School volleyball coach Bob Tarigo earned his 400th coaching victory last week. “Coach, the game is over. We know we lost. We’ll try to do better next time.” That statement taught

Tarigo a lot about the mindset of many a female high school athlete. “That’s probably why male coaches have ulcers,” Tarigo joked. “But they (the girls) probably have the right attitude most of the time.” Friday, 29 years after that loss to Farmington, the Lady Redcoats handed Tarigo his 400th career victory. Berlin blanked visiting Middletown, 3-0, that night to improve to 9-9. “I’m very honored. The 400th win is nice. I never thought about doing it. But those 400 wins were done by a lot of girls. Obviously, you only win if the girls play well enough … Players should get all the credit,” See Tarigo, next page

Francalangia looking for deep tourney run

‘Coats Notes Berlin High School cross country coach Steve Soucy described the CIAC Class MM state championship meet as “kind of a bitter sweet day.” The BHS girls team had its sights set on breaking into the Top 10 at the event, held Saturday at Wickham Park in Manchester — and the Lady Redcoats did just that, finishing 10th. But Soucy indicated the local girls are much stronger than they showed at the state meet. “A team we had beaten pretty easily on two different occasions this year finished sixth. We dropped almost five minutes from our conference meet time just a week ago,” Soucy pointed out. “But, big picture, we had a great season. The improvements were fantastic and the team should improve again next year as we don’t graduate any of our top nine runners.” This season, The Lady Redcoats tied for second in the Central Connecticut Conference South Division. Brittany Sullivan was Berlin’s top finisher at the Class MM meet. The freshman was 42nd with a time of 21:59 (3.1 miles). Pacing the Berlin boys at the Class MM event was senior Shaun Sullivan, who crossed the finish line in 51st place with a time of 18:31 (3.1 miles). The Redcoats finished 13th overall. “The boys far-exceeded where I thought they would be at the beginning of the season,” said Soucy, whose team finished tied for third in the Central Connecticut Conference South Division this fall. “They had great leadership this year from Shaun Sullivan, and he will be missed next year for both his leadership as a captain and for his running ability. He stepped it up tremendously this year, going from our fifth spot last year as a junior to our top spot in every race his senior year.” — Nick Carroll

By Nick Carroll The Berlin Citizen Despite his team’s stellar record — 9-3-3 at press time — Berlin High School boys soccer coach Dave Francalangia gets the feeling the Redcoats don’t strike fear into the heart of other CIAC Class L teams. But the locals will have the chance to prove themselves once and for all when the Class L state tournament

kicks off next week. “I think we can surprise a lot of teams in the state, and a lot of people in the state,” Francalangia said. “We have a very strong team. “I think we’ve taken the right steps; the coaches. And I feel that the kids have bought into what we’re telling them. So the sky is definitely the limit.” “We have a couple more weeks to go, as far as I’m concerned,” Francalangia

added. The veteran coach is not taking other Class L teams lightly, however. Avon, Bunnell, Brookfield and Wethersfield are quality sides, he said. Even teams with unspectacular records must be taken seriously. “It doesn’t matter what seed you are. There are lots of tough teams with seven, eight losses,” Francalangia said. “Anybody can beat anybody. You really have to show up every single day.” As they have all year, come tournament time, the Redcoats will lean on their large senior contingent. “They’re in charge of their own destiny,” said Francalangia.

said Tarigo. The veteran coach also praised the assistant coaches and athletics directors he has worked with at BHS. The Lady Redcoats presented Tarigo with a signed volleyball after the Middletown match, and a golf shirt emblazoned with ‘Coach Tarigo’ and ‘400 Club’. Tarigo was moved by the gesture. “I know I come across as hard-nosed. So when tears came to my eyes, the girls started crying,” he said. Tarigo was a high school football, basketball and baseball player in his home state of New York. He continued his basketball career at Central Connecticut, where he played for legendary coach Bill Detrick, and alongside current Central Connecticut men’s basketball coach Howie Dickenman. Upon graduating from Central, Tarigo took a teaching position in New Britain, and stayed fit competing in softball and volleyball leagues. Also, after college, Tarigo found he enjoyed working with young athletes. He held several coaching positions before taking the BHS volleyball job.

with DeLorenzo and Mason Powers on two-point conversion receptions. Capodice liked his team’s defensive effort against Bristol Eastern (6-1), particularly in the second half. The Redcoat D was anchored by Powers, Frank Murphy, Matt Padykula, Dan Hogan, Mike Perno and Joe Dellaquila. “The kids came out tonight

Rejuvenated Continued from page 25 a precaution. Later, it was determined he had suffered a neck sprain — nothing that would keep him out of action for long. Friday, just one week after his ambulance ride, Dellaquila helped the Redcoats down previously undefeated Bristol Eastern, 40-24, at Scalise Field. It was Homecoming night. “I was really hungry just to come out and get a victory,” said Dellaquila, an offensive and defensive lineman. “After missing last week’s game, I really missed the guys. And it’s Homecoming. It’s our first home game in two or three weeks. It’s really nice to come back home.” Berlin improved to 7-0

what the satisfying part is,” he said. Also, Tarigo enjoys being the patriarch of the Berlin volleyball family. “At my age, almost like a grandfather,” he said. “I’ve had former players say ‘boy, have you calmed down.’ I’m just older, I guess.” Although still energized,

and passionate about the sport, Tarigo laughed at the idea of sticking around coaching long enough to notch his 500th victory. “I don’t know about that,” he said, pointing out that likely would take seven years to achieve. “I’d be 70. I don’t know if I’ll be able to do that. But the kids do keep you very young.”

and attacked. (Bristol Eastern) had size on us,” Capodice said. With the victory, Berlin (70) put itself in good position to claim the CCC Division III crown, outright, for the second straight year. As it stands, the locals are guaranteed at least a share of the title. “We’re right where we should be,” Capodice said. “With these kids, and this group, this is what we expect-

ed: to get to the Bristol Eastern game undefeated, and have a chance to compete for the conference championship. Our No. 1 goal is to win the conference. No. 2 is to qualify for the states.” The defending CIAC Class M state champion Redcoats are No. 1 in the Class M power-point standings. Berlin will face the No. 8 team in Class M, Platt (6-1), Friday night in Meriden. Game time is 6:30 p.m.

with the win. “A credit to everybody. All the guys did a fantastic job, and we came out with a great victory,” said Dellaquila, who recovered a fumble against Bristol Eastern, and who has been in on 28 tackles this fall. As are the rest of the Redcoats, BHS coach John Capodice is happy to have Dellaquila back on the field.

“When I saw him down last week, obviously, we were all concerned,” Capodice said. “You never know how a kid’s going to respond” to a scare like that, the coach added. “It’s really a tribute to Joe’s character, and his strength, to continue to persevere, to get himself back out here and be a part of this game.”

U-12 girls Berlin Bash 3, Fairfield Heat 1 (State Cup semifinals): Scoring for Berlin were Sarah Daddario, Sophia Morell and Olivia Norton.

Anchoring the victors’ defense were Grace McCann, Alexis Cabral, Cheyenne Inturri, Kirsten Armetta and keeper Samantha Giardina.
