Dems keep five on Council By Olivia L. Lawrence Associate Editor Election 2009 returned five Democrats to Town Council — four incumbents and one new name: William Rasmussen Jr. The Republicans have two new names taking the minority seats: Karin

Maier Drost and David K. Evans. Incumbent Joan Carey lost her bid coming in last among the five Republican candidates. “It’s always a tough struggle on the Town Council,” said Republican Town Committee Chairman George Millerd, of that race. “We gave it a good try. We have a couple of excellent candidates who will work together.” Millerd was referring to a couple of recent Town Councilors, William Watson III and Robert McGee, who were elected as Republicans but later renounced their party affiliation. As Republicans gathered, Nov. 3, to await results at a lo-

cal restaurant, they discussed the possibility of taking more than three seats this time around. But that scenario was not to be as even the Republicans’ highest vote-getter, Drost, could not unseat the Democrats lowest vote-getter, Robert J. Dacey. Drost won with 2,444 votes and Dacey won with 2,586. Republican candidates Charles R. Paonessa and Frances H. Geschimsky also lost their bids. Democratic Town Committee Chairman Fred Jortner said “It was nice to get a vote of confidence from the citizens. It’s good to know they’re pleased with the di-

Rell visit a plea for less fortunate By Olivia L. Lawrence Associate Editor Gov. M. Jodi Rell came to the Kensington Fire House this week to make a special plea for help for those in need during tough economic times. “I’ve got food,” the governor called cheerily as she delivered a bag of groceries to a larder set up at the fire house. Her Nov. 2 visit was to raise awareness about a statewide “Day of Caring & Compassion” which takes place Nov. 7. Non perishable food donations will be accepted at the KFD from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Despite Rell’s light note, she was in town to promote a serious problem around the state. While there are small

signs of economic recovery, many Connecticut families are still feeling the effects of financial stress, she said. Food pantry shelves are low on supplies. “It’s a pretty difficult situation ahead of us,” Rell said. According to Connecticut Foodshare the number of people seeking help at local food pantries in the Hartford area has increased by 30 percent since last year. “Even in the best of times, it’s hard to put food on the table,” said Father Michael Miller, chaplain for the KFD, as he introduced the governor. Also on hand to welcome the governor’s initiative were: Town Manager Denise McNair, Mayor Adam Salina,

At Democratic headquarters Salina toasted his wife Danielle Salina as “the first lady of Berlin.” Also returning for another term are these Democrats: Stephen M. Morelli, Rachel J.

Because of the roughness of the pavement and potholes, noise from trucks is more noticeable now than it will be after the road is resurfaced, Simonian said. The town is working closely with the Department of Transportation. “Super pavement” that is DOT approved will be used. The new pavement is stronger and stands up better to extremes of weather.

Federal stimulus funds will pay for a major road improvement project scheduled to begin in Berlin in spring 2010. Episcopal Road will get nearly a half-million dollar overhaul thanks to a grant which comes from American Recovery and Reinvestment Act funds. More than $6 million was distributed to state for use in central Connecticut towns. “The improvements will give more longevity to, and provide better safety on, the road,” said Public Works Director Arthur Simonian The pavement rehabilitation project will improve about a half-mile of road near the Berlin Turnpike that connects Deming Road

to Rowley Street. This area is considered an “urban collector road”, one of the criteria for receiving the funds. The stretch to be rehabilitated is about 2,700 feet long and 32 feet wide. The pavement on that road is at least 30 years old and a traffic study showed that about 1,500 cars and 25 to 30 trucks use the road each day. About two dozen residences and two large businesses are located on Episcopal Road: Corbin–Russwin and Tomz Corporation. Construction is planned for next spring and residents and business on the road will receive letters in regards to the schedule. Signs will be posted on Deming Road and Rowley Street to alert motorists to the project. Simonian said a public hearing on the matter was

state Senator Donald DeFronzo, and Rep. Joe Aresimowiz as well as local fire personnel, including Deputy Fire Marshal Matt Odishoo who is the contact person for the event. “Nov. 7 will be a one-day push to fill – and I mean really fill – the shelves of Foodshare and Connecticut Food Bank ahead of the coming holidays,” Rell said. “Working with fire departments in every corner of the state, our goal is to collect as much non-perishable food as possi-

ble. Foodshare and the Connecticut Food Bank will organize pick-ups from the fire stations later in the day – and from there it will go to food pantries and people in need all across Connecticut. The Kensington Fire House and 14 other fire stations around Connecticut will serve as collection centers for donations of nonperishable food to help replenish the state’s two main food pantries. “The world-wide economic slump continues to take a brutal toll on Connecticut and the effects are deeper than we have seen in years. So I am making a special request for help, because if you

are in a position to give, your help is needed more than ever,” Rell said, adding, if everyone (who could) donated just one canned good, it would make a big difference. “It is important to be clear that this is a collection of non-perishable food – things like pasta, peanut butter, canned goods and so on,” the governor said adding that high protein items, such as tuna, are an especially good choice. The Connecticut Food Bank reported that demands for food assistance had grown by more than 20 percent from the previous year – with many men, women and children seeking food assistance for the first time. “The statewide Day of Caring & Compassion on Nov. 7 is a chance for everyone in the state to make a difference,” Rell said. “It is really a chance for the generous people of our state to shine.”

Continued from page 3 public works department will do inspections and save $75,000 on those fees, Simonian said. By getting the bids in this year —with a slow economy — the town was able to take advantage of competitive construction costs and save about a 30 percent reduction in costs, Simonian said. Besides repaving, the project will also include a number of other improvements such as: replacing catch basins, removing asphalt curbing and replacing it with concrete. Behind the curb, topsoil will be replaced and grass will be reseeded. Manholes for sewers and water lines will be reset at higher grades.

Letters to the Editor Thanks from the Community Garden

To the editor: I would like to express my appreciation to everyone who volunteered to make the Berlin Community Garden a success this year. More importantly, I wanted to express my since thanks to Pam Graves and her family for the very kind donation of fresh, organic vegetables that she delivered to the Berlin Senior Center weekly over the summer months. I am sure the generosity made an immediate difference in the lives of the Berlin seniors. The community spirit you and your family have dedicated to helping the community garden and others in our community is incredibly selfless. Michele Provencal Mader Kensington

To the editor: Let me start out right away and say that, although a member of the Berlin Veterans Commission, I am not in any way expressing the ideas of the other members of the commission. I am a Marine and like all Marines, am very proud of it. Over the past few years, just like the Town Council, the Veterans Commission starts their meetings with an audience of citizens. I really can’t remember more than three or four times someone has approached the committee with a remark of any kind. We on the commission as with all commissions, work for free. In our case, we work for the good of veterans within the town of Berlin. Among some of our tasks is to organize the parades in town. Not an easy task, but one in which all of our members work very hard at in coordinating all of the units in the field of march. Each year, we try to do something for our veterans and for the town of Berlin. Some of the things that we have undertaken other than parades are the placement of beautiful planters and monument on Worthington Ridge. For those of you that have not seen it yet, please take just a moment of your time to check it out. We also are in a continuing effort to keep the names on all of the monuments on the Ridge, up to date. We did a monument with ceremony at Hubbard School honoring an Army soldier, Thomas O’Connell. The following year, we did another monument on Wilcox Court by the pool again honoring three soldiers who lost their lives fighting for our country. In no way do we as a commission favor one group of service men or women over another. Having said that let me tell you a little story. In all my life never did I find a group of people more proud of their heritage that the Marine Corps. It has been said; “you would not call a general in the Army, soldier, you would not call an admiral in the Navy sailor and you would not call a general in the Air Force airman, but the Commandant of the Marine Corps is proud to be called Marine. That’s tradition. Being proud of my military heritage, every day as I drive on Main Street I pass the Marine Corps monument at Grove Hill. That monument was put in place many years ago to honor the U.S. Marine Corps. Over the years, time has taken its toll on that monument, not the least of which was being struck by a vehicle, not once but twice. It is cracked and for all practical purposes has seen better days. Again one of the tasks of the Veterans Commission is to maintain, repair or replace these monuments. We on the Commission discussed this monument, and I will admit that I was one that pushed for a new

See Letters, next page

Thursday, November 5, 2009 — The Berlin Citizen monument. The thing was did we want to get a new one and put it in the same spot that is a triangle of about 15 square feet or put it in a place that would be more appropriate? Granted, there are two Marines on the Commission but it was unanimous. We decided to move it. With the Paper Goods building being done over into apartments and a lighted flag and pole already in place, what better place than at Main Street by Hart Street and Percival Avenue? We are not and did not look for a new park but rather one that is already there. We are not dedicating a new idea but rather moving an old weather beaten stone to a new more favorable location. Why am I writing all of this? Well there seems to be a move afoot not to let this happen. I think as of this article, that has been smoothed over, at least I hope so. I for one did want to name this area, Marine Corps Memorial since it will have a monument there representing the Corps but that seemed to be the main bone of contention. That idea was struck down. At our regular meeting in October, it was voted by the whole commission except John Aguzzi who was absent, to fly a Marine Corps flag from the present flag pole, below the American flag. An emergency meeting was called and at least two members were missing, I being one of them. I was told that the Marine Corps flag would not be displayed. No one that I know ever approached the commission to say they did not want the Marine Corps flag there. The next meeting of the Veterans Commission was Nov. 2 held at the American Legion Post. I hope all of the problems that have come to light in the past few days, will have been taken care of. SEMPER FI Richard A. Rampone

Angry response To the editor: Recently Councilman Dacey responded to my husband’s earlier letter to the editor with typical Democrat fashion unwarranted name calling. It’s funny how my husband’s letter must have

struck some nerve with Councilman Dacey, the truth hurts. Let’s see how the Democrats treat their citizens, they throw away our votes and did what they wanted to do when it came to the new garbage system. Mr. Dacey, I personally think you are wasting your time in Berlin; head to Washington, with your figures, the Democrats Health Care Option won’t cost us anything. And I noticed how Councilman Dacey stayed away from the real issues in the article losing major businesses, taxpayers and the comparisons of the two Berlin Turnpikes, Berlin strip and the Newington strip. The Democrats are out of touch with their tax and spend approach, it isn’t healthy for the country, state of the town of Berlin and hopefully, the people of this town wake up in time. MaryBeth Milewski Kensington

Use it or lose it To the editor: Why did the town buy the East Berlin golf course? Now all that’s happening there are weeds taking over! If the town wants to use the property why don’t they finally build an indoor pool for the swim teams, etc? Jay Ritter Berlin

A new idea To the editor: A query, would it be possible for our town to switch over to single-stream recycling? I most assuredly do not want to start a new round of the war of the trash cans, revisited – but not being something of an enthusiastic recycler, I am wondering if that change-over is a possibility? Joanne M. Pigott Kensington

Thank you teachers To the editor: The recent article about the contract negotiations between the Board of Education and its employee unions prompts me to write this letter. I would just like to say “thank you” to the Board of Education for negotiating a very fair contract for the Town of Berlin. I would also

like to say “thank you” to all the teachers and clerical workers who agreed to this contract. As a taxpayer who is feeling the pain from this much weakened economy, I sincerely thank you for putting the needs of the community first. I know it was not an easy decision, and I thought you should know that your actions did not go unnoticed. Kari Drost Kensington

Time for change To the editor: Time for a change. A change for the benefit of those paying taxes. As taxpayers there are several issues we have repeatedly tried to have addressed. The first is our tax payment system. Our mayor took it upon himself to change our trash arrangement mainly because surrounding towns have this automated system, well Mr. Adam Salina, surrounding towns also have a two or four payment system for paying taxes. If you want to be like other towns, let’s make it at least something more significant than trash. Our present tax paying system is in need of change too. We are currently paying our taxes one year in advance, with one due date. If we are late in paying, we suffer huge penalties, interest, and even liens, even though we are required to pay a year in advance. Why can’t Berlin, like all the surrounding towns, pay four times a year instead of a huge amount in July? It would be far easier for retirees and young people starting out. When you get all the money at once, there is no limit to your spending, as we have seen with this present town council. Our present, once a year payment system is just designed to harass the people. Time for a change. We taxpayers can figure out how to pay our taxes four times a year; we really are not that stupid and do not need to be “re-educated” on how to do this. And why should we have to pay a full year in advance? Why can’t we have the option of paying once or twice or four times a year? At least the option, it’s only fair.

According to Councilman Robert Dacey, supposedly we are “saving” over $100,000 on this new trash can, that should be more than enough money to implement this one, two, or four payment system. Our current budget voting process also needs to change. Again, as most all surrounding towns do, they vote on a budget until it is approved. But not Berlin. We get one vote. As we have seen, in the past few years, our vote does not matter. This system is inherently corrupt. The town council goes in with a huge, grossly inflated budget, we vote no, and they simply shave off a few dollars. We have no other vote, no remedy, and no further say. They can manipulate the budget and get what they want. We, the ones who are actually footing their bills, have no further input. We are at their mercy, and as we can see, they have none. How long can we afford these tax and spend politicians? We need more people to get involved. These high taxes af-

fect all of us. Why sit back and just let these tax and spend politicians take every cent they want from us? We are still a Republic, are we not? Aren’t they in office to serve us? And we certainly don’t need to hire a consultant to figure it out either. John Kilian Berlin

Thanks for donations

To the editor: The Town of Berlin firefighters wish to express our grateful appreciation to everyone who responded to our recent fund-raising drive. In these lean economic times, your generosity is most helpful. It allows us to continue providing services to the community. Anyone who has not made a donation and wishes to do so, my drop it off at the nearest town firehouse. Thank you very much for your continued support. Town of Berlin firemen

Flu update: Nothing beats prevention By Olivia L. Lawrence Associate Editor Prevention is a major factor in controlling — and perhaps even avoiding —the flu. Berlin has seen a number of developments on the flu front in recent days including: the cancelling of seasonal flu clinics, increased tracking of illness by the school district, and official updates on how to get the H1N1 vaccine. The Central Connecticut Health District is considering offering the Novel H1N1 Influenza A vaccination to school children in the four district towns of Berlin, Newington, Rocky Hill and Wethersfield. Novel H1N1 Influenza A virus (formerly called swine flu) causes symptoms similar to seasonal flu. The most common symptoms are fever, cough and sore throat. Additional symptoms are body aches, headache, chills and fatigue and occasionally vomiting and diarrhea. A CCHD pre-registration form for H1N1 vaccine was sent home with students last week. The purpose was to determine interest in regards to H1N1 vaccinations. This vaccine will be offered on a voluntary basis and free of charge to students. School based clinics with a parent or guardian present to provide parental permission. A parental consent form will be sent home to those pre-registered students when the vaccine is available and a clinic date has been determined. The forms have to be returned to the nurses office by Nov. 6. According to the Centers for Disease Control, people infected with seasonal and 2009 H1N1 flu shed virus and may be able to infect others from one day before getting sick to five to seven days after. This can be longer in some people, especially children and people with weakened immune systems and in people infected with the new H1N1 virus. The following recommendations and pro-active meas-

ures are being taken by local officials trying to contain the spread of seasonal flu and the H1N1 virus. Central Connecticut Health District In a letter sent home with Berlin school children, Director of Health Paul Hutcheon said the CCHD is working closely with all public and private Berlin schools regarding the appropriate response to the H1N1 (swine flu) outbreak. According to Hutcheon: Each school district is recording and tracking absenteeism, both students and staff, particularly those associated with influenza-like illness known as ILI. ILI includes a fever (100 F+) and either sore throat or cough. Students and staff reporting ILI are advised not to return to school for at least 24 hours after fever is gone, provided they are not using fever reducing medicine. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC), along with the CT Department of Public Health, have developed response protocols that are being followed in each school district. In addition to ILI monitoring and tracking, school maintenance staff is routinely cleaning and sanitizing school buildings—paying special attention to surfaces frequently touched. Several guidance documents have been created and are available on the Central Connecticut Health District web site, www.ccthd.org. Additional links are also available for the CDC, www.cdc.gov/H1N1flu, and the CT Department of Public Health at www.ct.gov/ctfluwatch. Vaccination Update H1N1 vaccine supply is limited. The health district intends to offer H1N1 vaccination clinics at schools, after school hours, once the vaccine supply increases likely in November. School districts are distributing a pre-registration form that will used for scheduling clinics and sending out invitations.

Prevention, in the form of a flu shot, is a major factor in preventing the flu. The health district has begun scheduling public, reservation only, H1N1 clinics to serve the people within priority groups. Depending upon the type of vaccine received, clinics are being offered to: Pregnant women; household contacts and caregivers of infants less than six months of age; children aged six months through four years of age for injectable vaccine; children aged wo years through six years of age (for nasal spray vaccine only); children age five through 18 with chronic medical condition such as asthma or diabetes. Individuals that fall within one of these priority groups can call the H1N1 clinic registration number at (860)7212815. School district In an Oct. 27 letter sent home with students, Superintendent of Schools Michael Cicchetti outlined how the district is handling flu season. “There are many steps being taken in the Berlin Public Schools to limit the spread of H1N1 and seasonal flu among students and staff,” he wrote. Updates will be posted on the district’s website (www.berlin.k12.ct.us) and communicated through the AlertNow parent notification system. The district works closely with the CCHD and also consults the Centers for Disease Control website (www.cdc.gov/h1n1flu/schoo

ls/). The letter included H1N1 information from the CDC. The schools are encouraging frequent hand washing and covering coughs and sneezes. Since the virus is reported to live for only two to eight hours, the district will not be “bleaching down” classrooms overnight. Instead, custodians will be wiping down frequently-touched objects such as door knobs and hand railings throughout the school day. New Britain Transportation bus drivers will be wiping down touched surfaces on their busses after each run, including busses used for athletic events and extracurricular activities. Parents are asked to report if the absence is for flu-like symptoms, with or without fever so school nurses can monitor the incidence of students with flu-like symptoms. While neither the CDC nor CCHD advises the closing of schools for reported H1N1 cases, a closing would be considered, in consultation with the CCHD, any of the schools experience an excessive number of staff or student absences. Those days would have to be made up. CDC With seasonal flu, the seasons vary in terms of timing, duration and severity. Seasonal influenza can cause mild to severe illness, and at times can lead to death. Each year, in the United States, on average 36,000 people die from flu-related complica-

tions and more than 200,000 people are hospitalized from flu-related causes. Of those hospitalized, 20,000 are children younger than five years old. Over 90 percent of deaths and about 60 percent of hospitalization occur in people older than 65. Spread of 2009 H1N1 virus is thought to occur in the same way that seasonal flu spreads. The symptoms of 2009 H1N1 flu virus in people include fever, cough, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, body aches, headache, chills and fatigue. Some people may have vomiting and diarrhea. People may be infected with the flu, including 2009 H1N1 and have respiratory symptoms without a fever. Severe illness and death has occurred as a result of illness associated with this virus. Illness with the new H1N1 virus has ranged from mild to severe. While most people who have been sick have recovered without needing medical treatment, hospitalizations and deaths from infection with this virus have occurred. In seasonal flu, certain people are at “high risk” of serious complications. About 70 percent of people who have been hospitalized with this 2009 H1N1 virus have had one or more medical conditions previously recognized as placing people at “high risk” of serious seasonal flu-related complications. This includes pregnancy, diabetes, heart disease, asthma and kidney disease. One thing that appears to be different from seasonal influenza is that adults older than 64 years do not yet appear to be at increased risk of 2009 H1N1-related complications thus far. CDC laboratory studies have shown that no children and very few adults younger than 60 years old have existing antibody to 2009 H1N1 flu virus; however, about one-third of adults older than 60 may have antibodies against this virus. It is unknown how much, if any, protection may be afforded against 2009 H1N1 flu by any existing antibody.

Puzio’s handwashing lessons attract attention By Samala Hernandez Special to The Citizen

With so much information about the flu floating around, sometimes the best method for driving a point home is to keep it simple. That’s the approach Chris Puzio used in his classroom for a lesson on how germs are spread. A Berlin resident, Puzio is a physical education and health teacher at Parker Farms School in Wallingford and also a member of the

Berlin Board of Education. His handwashing lesson recently attracted media attention from The Record-Journal, and later, from a local television station. Puzio’s lesson on proper hand washing is of particular interest as the spread of the H1N1 virus, or swine flu, is a big health concern and a top news story. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the virus is widespread in 41 states, including

After Cancer:

New York and New Hampshire but not yet Connecticut. It has arrived in the state, however, and could potentially become widespread quickly, Puzio said, which is why it’s important to begin a conversation about preventive steps. From preschool-age children to fifth-graders, there’s no better way to make a point about healthy hygiene than by allowing students to get a little dirty in the process. It was a message they’ve all heard before, but with an added visual this time. “What is a germ?” Puzio asked second-grade students during his presentation. “It’s a teensy-tiny dot that flies in the air,” one student

A Woman’s Common Sense Guide to Reclaiming Life After Treatment

said. “A germ is when, um ... it’s something that makes you sick,” another said. The germs discussion focused on two of the most threatening types: viruses and bacteria. Puzio passed around images of the tiny virus specks and larger bacteria cells as the students learned that germs are everywhere. Students bathed their hands in powdery “Glitter Bug” (fake germ powder) and walked to the front of the class where they were examined by a long black light. Many were shocked at how many particles were revealed; particularly on places they thought were

clean, like their faces and clothing. Following CDC guidelines, Puzio encouraged the class to turn water to a warm temperature, set up the paper roll, and work soap into a good lather, washing in between fingers and scrubbing long enough to sing the “Happy Birthday” song two to three times. After washing their hands thoroughly in the back sink, some revisited the black light to see just how well they did in getting the germs off, shocked to learn that the germs didn’t always go away entirely. “I typically use a black light to bring it home,” Puzio said. “It gives that hands-on visual stuff that kids like to see.”

The Berlin Public Works Department has scheduled its final curbside leaf collection for the week of Nov. 16 through 20. Residents wishing to have leaves picked up at the curb, must put them in biodegradable brown paper bags. Trash barrels or other containers may also be used. The containers will be emptied and returned. Purchased leaf bags and alternate leaf containers must be clearly marked “leaves”. Plastic bags are not permitted. Grass clippings, yard waste and twigs cannot be mixed with leaves. Do not rake leaves into the gutter. This is a violation of the anti-litter ordinance, and subject to a fine. Those who wish to dispose of leaves on their own may bring them to the drop-off area on Town Farm Lane off Massirio drive, Monday through Friday, between 7:15 a.m. and 3:15 p.m. and on Saturdays through Nov. 28 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Saturdays, Dec. 5 and 12 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. The drop-off area will be closed in observance of Veteran’s Day.

Sweet 16: Berlin caps perfect regular season By Nick Carroll Sports Editor The most talented class — arguably —in the history of the Berlin High School girls soccer program has played its final regular season game. Before a large Senior Night crowd, the soccer Class of 2010 led the Lady Redcoats to a 3-0 victory over Middletown Monday at Scalise Field. The win capped a perfect 16-0 regular

season for Berlin, the Central Connecticut Conference South Division champion. In fitting fashion, seniors Kerry Scalora, Blair Ferry and Kim Rasmussen took care of the scoring against Middletown, Ferry, Rasmussen and senior Maggie Murphy each chipped in an assist, and senior Nikki Kureczka anchored the shutout defense. The Lady Redcoat seniors, who include Sam Garfi, Lauren Lisitano, Kathleen

Mullins and Allison Pucci, were recognized prior to the start of the game, possibly their final one under the lights at Sage Park. Ferry felt mixed emotions that night. “I’ve been with all the seniors since fourth grade. After this we’re all going to college and we’re never going to play with each other again,” she said. “It’s definitely sad. But 16-0; you can’t complain about that. That was awesome. Overall I was happy tonight.”

Ferry, a four-year starter, said her high school career has flown by. “This is definitely the fastest season year,” said the forward, who will continue her career at the University of Massachusetts. “Freshman year all the seniors told us ‘don’t take it for granted, it goes by so fast.’ Now it’s my last regular season game. It’s ridiculous.” They’ve been around for three conference championships, so BHS coach Steve Yanosy has no problem dubbing this year’s seniors a great class. “They’re A: very talented, B: a great group of kids, and C: competitive kids,” he said. “They want to win, and you can see it in everything they do.

Berlin High School’s tough offensive line has created plenty of space for Max DeLorenzo, No. 44, to run this season.

O-Line continues to get it done By Nick Carroll Sports Editor Whether it’s a touchdown run or a routine pass play, there must be teammates down in the trenches throwing blocks, creating holes and muscling defenders long enough for the play to develop. They are the hard hat-and-jeans-type of guys a football team relies on come fourthand-inches, and the players who are called upon each week to keep their quarterback out of harms way. Unfortunately, these selfless, rugged team members often get overshadowed by athletes in more high profile positions, and headlines highlighting their contri-

butions are rare. These unsung heroes are offensive linemen. Without much fanfare, Berlin High School’s offensive line has done its part this season. With the O-Line holding up its end of the bargain, the Redcoats (6-1) have generated a hefty 201 points this fall. Also, the locals have rolled up more than 1,800 yards rushing, led by Max DeLorenzo’s 1,214. The O-Line has allowed Berlin’s passing game to flourish as well. Dan Hackett has completed 35 passes, three of those for scores. Hackett’s favorite target Brian Malloy has 16 receptions for 238 yards. See O-Line, page 25

For Berlin High volleyball coach Bob Tarigo, this has been one of his most satisfying seasons. He had only two seniors because his third, blue-chipper Katelyn Zarotney, was injured and not expected back. So he went into the season with a ton of inexperience and was frank to say that if his club finished .500, that would be good. Yet not only did his junior varsity laden team win 13 matches in a new league, he got the bonus of getting Zarotney back some four matches ago. “This season has already been a success,” said Tarigo of his team, which easily qualified for the CIAC Class M state tournament. “If we can win a match or two in the state tournament, that would be a tremendous plus, especially considering where we came from.”

But he also sounded a warning to his future opponents. “I think, especially with Katelyn back, a lot of people will be surprised by how we play,” he said. “If we play like we’re capable, we can give anybody a good game. Our team has really come together.” Berlin (13-5), which finished third in the CCC-South with a 10-4 league record, began play in the CCC playoffs Monday at Hartford Public. The Redcoats won that one, and will play at Southington today, Nov. 5, in Round 2. Tarigo said his team is serving 90 percent for the year, which he said is much better than he thought would be the case. He pointed to the serving of Victoria Fagan (94 percent) and Krystie Luczynski (91 percent) as examples of what he meant. He also said that Luczynski is the team leader in kills

’Coats Notes

It wasn’t its tidiest performance of the year, but the Berlin High School football team downed Bristol Eastern 21-3 Friday night to improve to 6-1 (6-0 Central Connecticut Conference Division III). The Redcoats weathered some turnovers, penalties and a 3-0 deficit to knock off the Lancers (3-4, 3-3 CCC Division III) at Muzzy Field. “Bristol’s a sports town. It was a Friday night game; the only game in town. We knew it would be a really good environment. We knew it was going to be a battle,” BHS coach John Capodice said.

“And it was a battle.” Bristol Eastern took a 3-0 lead in the second quarter, but from there, Berlin’s defense shut the home team down, including on a firstand-goal situation from Berlin’s one-yard line. “The defense allowed us to overcome our mistakes,” Capodice said. “The defense was unbelievable.” Max DeLorenzo had two touchdowns and rushed for 165 yards. Teammate Taylor Tavarozzi manufactured 50 yards on the ground. The Redcoats’ other TD came on a pass from Dan Hackett to Mason Powers. Berlin will face Fermi Nov. 13 at Scalise Field. Game time is 7 p.m. If the Redcoats prevail in that one, they will clinch the CCC Division III championship.

Berlin landed in 14th place at the Class MM meet. “We were shooting for Top 10 and came up short,” BHS coach Steve Soucy said. “We knew going in we were in a group of about seven teams fighting for spots seven through 14.” Soucy indicated that the course was running slow this past weekend. “Most teams were giving back about 1:30 to 2:00 as a team due to the course conditions,” the first-year coach

said. “We gave back 3:30, and that was enough to push us to the bottom of that list.” The BHS girls finished 17th at the Class MM meet. The Lady Redcoats’ Nos. 3 and 7 runners were unable to run due to illness. The re-vamped Berlin squad was led by sophomore Kaylene Sylvain, who finished 44th with a time of 23:15.

The 2009 season is over for the Berlin High School boys soccer team. A 3-0 defeat to Bulkeley last week eliminated the Redcoats from state tournament contention. The locals fell to 4-9-2 with the loss. To qualify for the postseason, a team must have a win percentage at or above 40. “The past several games the others teams were more competitive. The other teams wanted it a bit more than we did. We have to learn from this for next year,” BHS coach Dave Francalangia said. Berlin capped its campaign on Monday with a 2-1 victory over Middletown. Kevin Stritch and Zach Giaccone scored for the locals. Berlin High School senior Ricky Lewandowski finished 11th to pace the Redcoats at the CIAC Class MM state cross country championship meet, held Saturday at Wickham Park in Manchester. Lewandowski completed the 3.1-mile course in 17:53. His showing that day earned him a spot in the State Open, slated for Friday, Nov. 6.

The Berlin High School Athletic Hall of Fame has unveiled its inaugural class. Entering the Hall of Fame will be, from the 1939-1960 era: Richard Patterson, Victor Baccaro, Phil Tinsley, Anthony Legnani, Henry Mora and Gary Waslewski. From the 1961-1980 era: Paul Barretta. And from the 1981-2000 era: Pam Wallace, Deb Larson, Robyn Trevethan, Adam Salina and Edward Hrubiec. Also being inducted into the Hall are coaches Don Bates and Bill Gibney and contributors Art Kevorkian Sr. Baccaro and Roy Fabian. This week, The Citizen takes a look at the athletic career of Victor “Vic” Baccaro. Baccaro graduated from Berlin High School in 1940. One of the school’s first star student-athletes, he played football and basketball and competed in track and field. Baccaro was captain of the 1940 football team, but it was on the track where he set himself apart. In 1940, he set the state record for the 100yard dash with a time of 10.1. Also, Baccaro was a member of the 880 relay that broke the state record by nearly one second. The foursome, which included Fred Lowell, Pinto Cugno and Walter Hubbard, was called the fastest four men in Connecticut by the press. Baccaro, an outstanding example of the “Greatest Generation”, went on to serve in U.S. Army Air Corp from Dec. 29, 1942 to Oct. 10, 1945, and was the flight engineer and top turret gunner on a B-17 Flying Fortress stationed in Framingham, England. Baccaro was shot down on his 25th mission over Magdeburg, Germany and was a prisoner of war for one year. Baccaro was a founding member of the Berlin Athletic Boosters Club in 1963, and served 10 years in the club. He is also a founding member of the town’s VFW Post and Knights of Columbus chapter.

tion sometimes gets a bad rap. But if you’re competitive, you’re going to succeed in life. And these girls are going to succeed in anything they do because they’re competitive kids and they’re going to try to be the best that they can in anything.” In a selfless display, the seniors dedicated their Senior Night to support the fight against breast cancer. Berlin players wore pink jerseys, and donations were collected. “I couldn’t believe the unselfishness of the whole class,” Yanosy said. “It’s a real special group that would do that. For them to do that on their Senior Night goes to show what type of people they are.” It looks like the Lady Red-

coats will earn the No. 1 seed and a first round bye in the CIAC Class L state tournament. Pairings will be released Friday, Nov. 7. Berlin’s tournament opener will be Wednesday, Nov. 11. To stay sharp in the meantime, the Lady Redcoats scheduled a Thursday, Nov. 5 scrimmage with Glaston-

College Corner Berlin High School alumnus Dan Baccaro was named Western Connecticut State University’s 2009 Male Athlete of the Year. Baccaro, a senior baseball player majoring in history, was presented the award at halftime of WestConn’s Homecoming football game, Oct. 24. Baccaro won the team’s batting title in 2008 with a .383 average. He earned the team’s MVP award in 2009 when he led WestConn in Dan Baccaro pictured homeruns and RBI, while batting .331. The former BHS with WCSU President Dr. baseball captain was named James Schmotter. to the Little East All-Academic team in 2008 and 2009. Baccaro’s younger brother Michael, also a WestConn baseball player, earned All-Academic status in 2009. WestConn baseball coach John Susi expects a big senior season from Baccaro. “Dan will once again hit in the middle of this year’s lineup and try to make a comeback on the mound following his Tommy John surgery from two years ago.” Do you know a local resident competing in college athletics?

with 275 and in service receptions with 187. He also pointed out the value of Amanda McLeod as a serving leader (89 percent) and a player who is fourth on the team in kills with 59. “We also have a lot of very good role players who come in off the bench,” said Tarigo. He said that Rachael Zelek and Kristen Cavaliere were examples of that. “Their defense is very good.” Tarigo also said that his club has played very good defense and said that he is particularly pleased with the defensive play of Carina and Lia D’Amato and Brittany Labbadia. He also said that he was happy with the performance of Elizabeth Long, a player who “gives us more hitting up front.” But the wild card in all of this is Zarotney. “She is com-

She gives us more firepower and we’ll soon see how much of a difference she makes in the postseason.”

O-Line

The sixth-year head man points out that communication, chemistry and good old fashioned grit are the keys to the line’s success. “Their work ethic has been excellent,” he said. And Capodice indicated that Berlin’s backfield appreciates the effort. “A few times, a couple of the backs took those guys out to eat,” he said. “They make sure those guys are taken care of.” Berlin’s offensive line is overseen by former BHS linemen John Paul Demko, Mitchell Egazarian, Mike Mendoza and Ed Hrubiec. Capodice believes having alumni return to help the program is important. “It’s great to have guys with that Berlin pride,” he said. “They do a great job communicating, they can relate to the kids, and the kids really respect them.”

Continued from page 21 “Any successful team starts with a strong offensive line,” BHS coach John Capodice said. “For us to move the ball, we have to open holes. If the holes are big enough, anyone can run through them.” The guys working up front this year are A.J. Marsiglia, Nick DeLoia, Dan Hogan, Mike Aresimowicz, Steve Nelson, Mason Powers and Doug Campbell. “They take pride in being offensive linemen. They’re the guys who really make the run and the pass game go,” Capodice said. “When points are on the board, they come from things happening up front.”
