The dream continues: Carlson signs with Red Sox Berlin High School alumnus Jesse Carlson, released by the Toronto Blue Jays recently, has signed with the Boston Red Sox.

By Nick Carroll The Berlin Citizen In 1999, as part of a high school all-star game, Jesse Carlson got the chance to pitch at Fenway Park. To commemorate what he assumed would be a once in a lifetime experience, the Berlin High School ace and Red Sox fan left Boston with a handful of dirt from the mound. Incredibly, however, nearly a decade later Carlson would return to the hill at Fenway, this time as a member of the Toronto Blue Jays. As if that wasn’t enough of a fairy tale ending for Carlson, next season Fenway may become his home park.

Last week, Carlson, released by Toronto recently, signed with Boston. The 30year-old reliever, a lefty, agreed to a split contract with the Red Sox, meaning

that he will be paid differently depending on which level of the organization he lands in. Carlson, who underwent rotator cuff surgery during the 2011 season, has made 162 appearances in three MLB seasons, all spent with the Blue Jays. His record stands at 8-8. Perhaps Carlson’s most memorable outing came on April 16, 2008. That night, he was called to the mound in the 11th inning facing a See Signs, page 18

Council OKs funds for disaster plan New GOP council member sole ‘nay’ vote on school donation By Amy Prescher Special to The Citizen At its Dec. 6 meeting, the Town Council voted unanimously to award a contract to LBL Technology Partners for $41,760 to provide a Business Continuity Plan for the town. A Business Continuity Plan creates comprehensive contingency plans for headquarters, communication and providing services to taxpayers following a catastrophic event. Town Clerk Kate Wall said the town had been working toward a Disaster Preparedness Plan for 11 years, but that the work

was beyond the scope of town staff. On another topic, one of the council’s newest members, Republican Eric Buhrendorf took a stand against a majority of the council, including the other Republican member on an item regarding a donation. The council approved, 6 to 1, the donation of one round of golf, a $206 value, for a raffle for a fifth-grade fundraiser supper at Willard Elementary School. Before the vote, Buhrendorf objected, stating he did not believe it was the function of the Town Council to use tax dollars for contributions. Mayor Adam Salina said he didn’t see the harm in it as contributing to local

‘Books and a Buck’ – from Berlin to Indonesia Can you spare a book to help these children learn to read? By Karen Brancato Special to The Citizen

In high school, it can be hard to imagine where life will take you. For David Spinelli, Berlin High School class of 1990, his journey has taken him 7,900 miles away to Papua, Indonesia. That’s where he currently teaches English to teachers in a kindergarten through ninth-grade school. Located in a working-class district, the school doesn’t have a lot of money. While students are learning English, they need more books and instructional materials in that language. Spinelli, a former Upbeat member, sent an email to all librarians in the

Berlin school district asking for help and donations. Through his Upbeat experience, he believed there would be others in his hometown who would want to lend a helping hand. It was Dave Scannell, BHS library/media specialist, who took up the call. He didn’t have Spinelli as a student, but Scannell said he’s glad to be “helping out an alum for a good cause.” Scannell wrote a press release about the appeal and came up with the “Books and a Buck” drive. As the name indicates, Books and See Books, page 17

High adventure for Troop 41

This past summer scouts from Troop 41 ventured to the Philmont Scout Ranch located in northern New Mexico. Philmont, the Boy Scouts of America’s premier High Adventure base, consists of more than 214 square miles of southwest wilderness. During their stay, the troop went on a seven day backtracking trek that covered 33 miles and included a side hike to the top of Baldy Mountain, elevation 12,441 feet. In addition, scouts participated in black powder shooting, a trail conservation project and spar pole climbing. Philmont presents awards to troops that fulfill specific requirements during their adventure and Troop 41 earned the following: the Arrowhead patch, the “We All Made It” award, the Duty to God Award, the Wilderness Pledge Achievement Award, and the La Docena Adventurado (the Adventurous Dozen) award. The last award is presented by Philmont to recognize crews with the recommended full complement of 12 crew members. Troop 41 is the first from Berlin to earn this award with all 12 members from the same troop. Boy Scout Troop 41 is sponsored by Bethany Covenant Church.

Holiday Happenings Toys for Tots Farmington Bank is hosting toy collections to benefit Toys for Tots at all of its 16 branch locations. Locally, new, unwrapped toys can be dropped off through Saturday, Dec. 17, at 1191 Farmington Ave. Once collected, the toys are separated by gender and age by the Marine Reserves in Plainville and then distributed to local social

service organizations. The Marines especially need toy donations for girls eight years and older and boys 12 years and older. In addition to the toy collection efforts, the Farmington Bank Foundation donates $10 for every toy collected, up to $5,000, to the Marine Corps Reserve for the purchase of additional toys for less fortunate children.

Wreath sale

The New Britain-Berlin Rotary Club has scheduled its annual holiday wreath sale. Proceeds benefit the club’s scholarship program. Wreaths are 22 inches in diameter and decorated with apples, pine cones and a red bow. For more information and to place an order, contact Ann Ruwet at (860) 229-6665.

The Berlin Citizen — Thursday, December 15, 2011

‘What is it?’ answer from the Dec. 8 edition

The first correct answer from last week’s “what is it” photo came from Rob Sarmuk; he earns a “high five.” Sarmuk emailed “It’s the light house at the Dyers house on Cottage Street, East Berlin.” We also received this reply from Judy Laperuta: “I certainly do recognize this lighthouse. It belongs to my parents Floyd and Dolores Dyer of East Berlin. My mother always loved lighthouses and collected them as souvenirs. For their 50th

wedding anniversary, nine years ago, they actually stayed overnight in a lighthouse in Maine. At a gift shop, Mom saw this lighthouse but it wasn’t for sale, so dad took the measurements and made it for her. It is placed in their yard over a lamp post as a remembrance of their 50th anniversary.” The Berlin Citizen ran a story about the lighthouse many years ago and the Dyers kept a copy, however the date is missing from the page, so the exact time of

publication is not known. We guess the story is from more than 10 years ago. Here’s an excerpt from that story with the headline: “A light of their own”: It’s the “talk of the town” they say and certainly a conversation piece that has attracted not only neighbors but passers-by too who may be leisurely driving around town. It’s called “Dyers Light.” and is located in the yard of Dolores M. and Floyd C. Dyer of East Berlin. The six-foot tall structure is

made of fiberglass with wood shingles and small windows. “Dyers Light” is a lighthouse built by Floyd Dyer at the urging of his wife who is fascinated by them. “If you really want one, I’ll build you one,” Floyd told his wife. “I built a lot of things over a lifetime; I thought I’d put some ingenuity into it.” The lighthouse can be seen at the corner of Berlin and Cottage streets. People often stop to take pictures and ask the Dyers where

they bought it. “I meet a lot of people in town and they say they love my lighthouse and tell me how nice it is,” Dolores Dyer said. Floyd Dyer said he has been asked to create lighthouses for friends, but has declined. “I don’t want to go into business doing it,” he said. “It’s quite time consuming.” The couple owns more than one lighthouse. Inside, there are small lighthouses See Answer, next page

New minister ready to join local church and community The Berlin Congregational Church has a new settled minister, Rev. Mark D. Pilletere. He performed his first church service, in his new position with the Berlin church, Nov. 27. “While my primary responsibility must be for the body of Christ that gathers at the Berlin Congregational Church, I fully intend to participate in the life of the surrounding Rev. Mark D. and Jean Pilletere community,” Pilletere said. Pilletere said he accepted the call by the Pastoral Search Committee in August. A committee search of almost four years reviewed 112 profiles and although the process was described by a committee member as “long and detailed,” members agreed “it was well worth the wait.” Pilletere is married to Jean M. Pilletere, who works in a local school system. The couple have two adult daughters and a son-in-law. Pilletere said that he and his wife enjoy the outdoors and camping. In addition, his interests include wood-carving, model railroads and theater. Pilletere, originally from West Haven, has been in the ministry for 15 years. He has served churches in Maine and Connecticut. He is active in the Disabled American Veterans, is a former member of the Board of Directors for the Southeastern Mental Health Agency, is a tutor at the Children’s Dyslexia Center of CT and has served as a police chaplain for the Norwich Police Department.

Berlin Congregational Church’s Choir Director and organist, T o n y Zulkeski, marked his 20 year ann ive r s a r y Zulkeski at the church in November. Zulkeski grew up in New Canaan. His first church organist job was at The Talmadge Hill Church in New Canaan. He later lived in Hopkinton, Mass. where he would commute to Berlin each week to play the organ and direct the choir. Before coming to the Berlin Congregational

Church, he played at the Talmadge Hill Church in New Canaan; Vista Methodist Church, Vista, N.Y (he was not old enough to drive, so the minister drove him to and from services); Tolland Congregational Church (while in college); Ashford Congregational Church; Newington Methodist Church and Broadview Congregational Church in Hartford. Zulkeski said his best memories at Berlin Congregational Church are playing hymns with singing congregations and the Messiah Performances.

To the editor, Our library cards have become much more valuable. I found out the other day that for $888 a year, paid by the town, our library cards now provide free online access to Consumer Reports (CR). Inevitably once or twice a year I am looking for a trusted opinion on a product my family or I may need. I usually sign up for one month of CR do my research and then forget to cancel until one or two months later when my wife asks me why I have another $4.95 charge. Thankfully there will be no more charges! David Evans Berlin Town Council

To the editor: Since 1982, our family has had the pleasure of residing in East Berlin. Among our neighbors are Robert (Bob) and Clarissa Dacey. Bob and Clarissa have devoted many years of service to our town. Our schools are better and our quality of life is better because of the contributions they have made to Berlin. With regard to Mr. Dacey’s recent service as a member of the Town Council — any time a member of our family had an issue involving the town, we would call Mr. Dacey at his home and he always helped us. In this day, when the politics of personal destruction have so poisoned civic life, it is no small thing to live in a town where local government works. Thank you, Mr. and Mrs. Dacey, for all you have done for our family and for Berlin. The Mikol Family East Berlin

Convention in Groton, recently. This award was created by CABE as a way to recognize exceptional work by boards of education. The Berlin board received this recognition from the state’s Department of Education Assistant Commissioner, George Coleman, at an awards ceremony at the convention. In order to qualify for this award, a board of education must meet strict criteria that promote effective team work, group decision making and student achievement. Specifically, a board needs to fulfill at least 22 out of 30 different requirements in five different areas of board work, such as community relations, board operations, policy, professional development and organizational

leadership. For those boards that meet these criteria, and have received the CABE Leadership Award in two of the past four years, they are then required to achieve additional, more rigorous criteria. In recognizing the Berlin Board of Education, CABE noted Berlin’s focus on student achievement and results, stating that “all who are involved in the schools understand the district’s mission and focus on student achievement.”

The Berlin Police Department held a “Stuff a Cruiser” food drive at Roger’s Marketplace recently. Youth Detective Brian Dumais, Officer Barry Hertzler and Officer David Cruickshank were assisted by members of Berlin Upbeat and the South Kensington Volunteer Fire Department. Through generous donations the team was able to fill the back of a Ford Expedition DARE truck and half of the traffic van. An additional $258 in cash was also donated. The donations were turned over to the Berlin Food Pantry to be distributed to needy families.

cies, procedures, guidelines and expectations for the nine elected members of the board. The handbook is the first of its kind for the Berlin board, supplementing existing policies and procedures. “The board spends considerable time and effort striving to function as a professional governance board,” said BOE President Gary Brochu. “The handbook is a way of the board formally putting forth, not just information, but expectations as to how the board will act.” Examples of some of these expectations include board members reading professional articles on education, dressing professionally for all meetings, modeling behavior for the district and always acting so that they are beyond reproach. The impact of this new Member Handbook has already been felt beyond the borders of Berlin. Brochu

and Superintendent of Schools David Erwin recently presented the handbook at the Connecticut Association of Boards of Education’s annual convention. School districts from around the state have requested copies of the handbook or have asked for board members to give presentations to their boards of education. “The fact that the Berlin Board of Education is increasingly seen as an example to other communities as how an effective and professional board of education should operate is flattering,” said Brochu, adding, “but the goal with this handbook is to create a legacy of professionalism and excellence in board leadership.” He cited the handbook, which states that members should “always strive to act in the interest of what is best for students, believing that all students can learn and succeed at a high level.”

schools and nonprofits fosters a true sense of community. In other business, a contract for emergency storm cleanup was awarded to Ashbritt, Inc., of Deerfield Beach, Florida, in the amount of $425,000. A monitoring company, SAIC of Maitland, Florida, was awarded a contract of $110,000 to monitor the cleanup. Public Works Director Art Simonian, said about 65 percent of the cleanup had been completed and that the town saved over a million dollars by engaging town staff and equipment in the collection and transportation of debris. The town expects to receive 75 percent of the costs to be reimbursed by FEMA. The Town Council affirmed Town Manager Denise McNair’s decision for the police department to apply for a DUI Enforcement program in 2012. Police Chief Paul Fitzgerald said that department has had success in

apprehending offenders and educating the public in past years. The cost to the town, above the amount of the grant, will not exceed $20,400. The council also endorsed a plan to apply for a grant to fund a local Major Crime Squad as part of the MidState Police Group, consisting of the communities of Berlin, Cromwell, Newington, Rocky Hill and Wethersfield. The grant would be used for purchasing a mobile Field Processing Unit and other equipment, and officer training. The Major Crime Squad’s primary duties will be the collection of evidence and the computer-based diagramming of the crime scene. The Town Council gave its approval to transfer funds for two projects that exceeded estimated budgets. Key structural elements, installed incorrectly by the previous contractor, in the Griswold Elementary School bus canopy were repaired by the Fillaramo Construction Company, of Windsor, for $12,973 above the $140,000 budget. An additional

$20,000 was approved to grade a homeowner’s driveway on New Britain Road, which was negatively impacted by the installation of a sidewalk. The council also authorized McNair to sign an Open Space and Watershed Land Acquisition Grant and a Conservation and Public Recreation Easement Agreement with the State of Connecticut in order to receive $199,250 towards the purchase price of the former Girl Scout Property on Chamberlain Highway. The council accepted a .48-acre parcel as open space from Norton Realty, LLC, on the former site of the Berlin Lion Club’s pool. The property is on the west side of the development on Norton Road and connects to Bicentennial Park. The Public Works Department will serve as the building committee for the total roof replacement project at Willard Elementary School. The council authorized the preparations of drawings and specifications for the project.

Sharing the harvest

Organizers for the town’s community garden at Hatchery Brook Conservation Area report that last summer’s food donations, made from gardeners, to area agencies such the Salvation Army of New Britain, represented a generous harvest. Altogether six deliveries, consisting of 211 pounds of vegetables, were donated from the Berlin garden on Orchard Road. Everything from lettuce to beets, zucchini, tomatoes and more was among the fresh produce shared with others.

a Buck asks that with every donation of a new or gently used book, that the donor include a small cash donation to help cover the shipping costs. Scannell said “people have l been very generous on both fronts (books and money) so far”. Upbeat Director Alice Mitchell also is involved. (She knew Dave Spinelli back when he was in Upbeat – he was a member of the inaugural group 23 years ago.) Upbeat members are keeping track of donations. Dave Spinelli lived in Indonesia from 1998 to 2003. He and his wife are both teachers, and because of his experience in the area, they were recruited to go to Papua. Spinelli teaches English to the teachers at the school in order to “raise the English proficiency” of the teachers, and he also is a consultant to the school’s administration. He is not the librarian for the school, but says the facility needs one. The school’s name is Yayasan Pendidikan, located in Jayawijaya, Tembagapura, Papua New Guinea. Students are from all over Indonesia and from the local tribal areas of Papua.” People from other countries, called ex-patriots or “expats”, send their kids to a separate school. The students are learning English, which is their third language. Spinelli said “they have their own local language from their home island or their home village,” and they also learn Indonesian, the national language. Spinelli said the school needs “the same types of books you’d find in your average school library.” Also of interest are educational or children’s DVDs, because these often have English subtitles. The book drive is slated to go until the end of December. Materials needed are: early reader books, children’s reference books, textbooks, and teen fiction. To donate books or money to this cause, drop off is at Berlin High School, to the attention of Dave Scannell.

bases-loaded with no-out situation against the Texas Rangers. He needed just 12 pitches to strike out Adam Melhuse, Marlon Byrd and David Murphy, in order, to retire the side. The last time a major league pitcher accomplished such a feat was June 19, 1960. Carlson made headlines again on Sept. 16, 2009. That night he tangled with New York Yankees catcher Jorge Posada, sparking a benchesclearing brawl. Both Carlson and Posada were suspended three games, and fined, for their role in the melee. Frank Lennon, a contributor to the Red Sox-centered website bleacherreport.com, thinks Carlson-to-Boston is a good move. “The Red Sox have very little to lose here,” Lennon wrote. “If he does make the team, he will be a bargain basement steal, somewhere in the $1 million range. He is a left-hander with big league stuff who is equally effective against right-handed and

left-handed hitters, which makes him far more valuable than your average LOOGY (left-handed one-out guy).” But not everyone is excited about the prospect of Carlson suiting up for Boston. A blogger on bluebirdbanter. com, a favorite gathering place for Blue Jays’ fans, wrote: “I’m sad. He was a favorite of mine. Now he has gone over to the dark side.” Carlson’s road to the majors was a long and winding one. A three-sport athlete at BHS, he led the Redcoats to a state championship in baseball his senior year. From there, he pitched three seasons for the University of Connecticut before turning pro. He was selected by the Detroit Tigers in the 15th round of the 2002 Major League Draft, and would bounce around the minors for several years before getting called up to The Show. Carlson’s first minor league assignment was with a short-season team in the New York-Penn League. The following year he was released by Detroit. He then signed with the Houston Astros and was sent to Single-A Lexington before being promoted to Houston’s Double-A team in Austin, Texas. Carlson became a free agent in 2004 and was picked up by Toronto. In 2005, he played with Toronto’s TripleA affiliate in Syracuse and the organization’s Double-A club in New Hampshire. In 2006, Carlson became a free agent and joined the Texas Rangers. His first work with the Rangers’ organization was with their Double-A affiliate in Frisco, Texas. He soon was promoted to Triple-A Oklahoma. Carlson re-joined Toronto in 2007 and was sent to New Hampshire, and later, Syracuse. The BHS alum made his MLB debut in 2008 and would be named Rookie of the Year by the Toronto Chapter of the Baseball Writers Association of America after compiling a record of 7-2.

Boys hoop will have a bit of swagger in its step By Nick Carroll The Berlin Citizen

The Berlin High School boys basketball team was slated to open its season Wednesday against Newington. The following takes a look at the 2011-12 Redcoats. Coach: Mike Veneziano (3rd year, 31-16). Assistants: Joe Serfass, Ryan Ott, John Capodice. Last year: The Redcoats compiled a record of 19-6 and navigated their way to the quarterfinals of the state tournament for the first time in five years. The locals earned the No. 5 seed in Class L, where they fell to No. 4 Lyman Hall-Wallingford, 51-42, in the Elite 8.

Key losses: Max DeLorenzo, Michael Rector, Kevin Stritch, David Balfore, Darrin Ayyote, Kyle Kureczka. During his career, DeLorenzo scored more than 1,000 points and pulled down more than 500 rebounds. This year: Berlin returns a solid core, including starting inside players, seniors Bobby Mozzicato and Tommy Undercuffler. Mozzicato averaged 7.6 points per-game as a junior and collected 164 rebounds. Undercuffler led the team in blocked shots (23) last year and was second in rebounds (182). Also back this season are seniors Jeremy Desimone (forward/guard) and Colin

King (guard), and juniors Tyler Stritch (guard/forward) and Nick Tara (guard/forward). Newcomers, junior Darrin Gilbert, sophomores Mitch Williams and Dante Vasi and freshman Dominic Nuzzo could make an impact. Mozzicato, Undercuffler and King are team captains. Outlook: The Redcoats will rely a lot on their defense and depth while they learn to adjust to the loss of three starters. But Coach Veneziano is confident his guys will regroup, and he said, as always, Berlin’s goal is to bring home a state championship. “The number one thing we try to instill in our players is confidence,” Veneziano said. “We talk about ‘swagger’ every day. Individual swagger is easy to achieve, but when your team develops team swagger, combined with the willingness to outwork each and every opponent, that makes for a special team. Once your team believes they are going to win every time they step on the court, regardless of the opponent, then and only then do you have a chance to be great.”

The following takes a look at the 2011-12 Redcoats: Coach: Jim Day (27th year, 445-132-4). Assistants: Mitchell Egazarian, Eric Cruanes. Last year: The Redcoats

placed third at the Central Connecticut Conference South Division championships and fourth at the CIAC Class M competition. Mason Powers and Mike Fiorillo were state champions.

Despite being hit hard by graduation, swim team likes its chances By Nick Carroll The Berlin Citizen

The Berlin High School boys basketball is looking for a lot of production out of senior Tommy Undercuffler this season.

The Berlin High School boys swim team will open its season against Maloney next week. The following takes a look at the 2011-12 Redcoats. Co-coaches: Dan Thurston (1st year), Eileen Thurston (6th year, 41-37). Assistant: Jenn Backus (diving). Last year: The Redcoats compiled a regular season record of 4-7 and finished second at the Central Connecticut Conference South Division meet and 14th at the CIAC Class M state championships. Key losses: Seventeen athletes were lost

to graduation, including big point-getters Kevin Kozikowski, Vinny Fischer, Ryan Newport, Josh Paradis, Kyle Nelson, Taylor Bosse and Chris Cefarrati. This year: Berlin’s most notable returnee is junior Dan Klotz. As a sophomore, Klotz finished first in both the 50 and 100 freestyles at the CCC South meet, and was a member of two winning relays at the event. Klotz went on to compete in the State Open. Also back in action this winter is senior Jakub Cwieka (diving), juniors Nathan Giaccone (diving, backstroke), Ryan Marquis (freestyle, backstroke), Tom Drozdzowski

Hockey team eyeing a three-peat By Nick Carroll The Berlin Citizen

The Newington-Berlin High School ice hockey team was slated to open its season Wednesday against StaplesWeston-Shelton. Coach: Dave Harackiewicz (20th year, 225-159-15). Assistants: Lou Grubin,

Paul Helenski. Last year: The local co-op rolled up a regular season record of 13-6-1 and claimed its second straight Central Connecticut Conference South Division title. Newington-Berlin would earn the fifth seed in the CIAC Division III state tournament, where it fell to No. 4

seed, and eventual champion, Watertown-Pomperaug, 4-2, in the quarterfinals. Key losses: Matt Coco, Andrew Richard. Coco was the Division III Player of the Year, and an All-CCC and All-State selection. Richard too was named All-CCC and All-State. This year: The two-time defending CCC South champs return a great deal of talent, including Berlin’s

Brandon Ralph, a senior, and Jeff Smolicz, a junior. A forward, last season Ralph netted 11 goals and dished out 18 assists. Smolicz , a defenseman, manufactured 10 points as a sophomore. Ralph and Newington senior Alex Ericson are team captains. Outlook: NewingtonBerlin is a balanced team. However, the co-op has a

largely inexperienced defense. Still, Coach Harackiewicz expects to contend for both the CCC South and state championships. “If we can get consistent play every game by both our forwards and defensemen, we could be a very difficult team to play against,” the veteran head man said, adding “our strength of schedule should help us in the postseason.”

Numbers on the rise for indoor track By Nick Carroll The Berlin Citizen The Berlin High School indoor track and field team opened its 2011-12 season this past weekend. The following takes a look at the Redcoats: Coach: Josh Rosek (9th year). Assistants: Rich Rosek, Steve Soucy. Key losses: Ras Morgan, Jimmy Nolan. This year: Berlin will be led by Toby Hull, Connor Hilbie, Catherine Voepel, Kaylene Sylvain, Alex Carbonell, Madison Tavarozzi and Kate Piotrowicz. Matt Kall and Kristen

Madeia are key newcomers. Outlook: On the boys side, Berlin is looking to get a lot of points from Hilbie in the 3,200. For the BHS girls, middle-distance events and throws are strong suits. Coach Rosek is looking for steady improvement

the Connecticut Girls Soccer Coaches Association Sportsmanship Award. Because of the stellar sportsmanship they displayed throughout the season, the Lady Redcoats were selected by their CCC South peers to represent the division at the state level. From there, Berlin was tagged as the team that “most exemplified sportsmanship.” The Lady Redcoats will be honored at the CGSCA AllState banquet in January. “We hold our players to a high standard and expect nothing but the best sportsmanship from our players and coaches,” BHS girls soccer coach Steve Yanosy said via e-mail. “Our program takes great pride in not only producing great teams, but also in teaching important life skills, such as team-building, fairness, respect and graciousness.” The Lady Redcoats ran up a record of 11-4-3 this fall and advanced to the quarterfinals of the Class L state tournament. —Nick Carroll

Wrestling Continued from page 19

This year: After being away from coaching since 2007, Jim Day is back. The longtime BHS coach inherits a program navigated by C.J. McCormack and Dave Tremblay last year. Berlin has returned a slew of starters this season, including sophomore Ethan Greider (113/120 pound weight class), who was a runner-up in both the Class M and CCC South tournament. Another sophomore, Jake

Eliades (145), was third at states in and claimed a CCC South title. The Redcoats’ other returning starters are juniors Kevin Pirruccio (126) and Rick Mullins (152), and sophomores Rich Schlichting (126/132), Ryan Ogden (132/138) and Jordan Zima (160). Mullins placed second in the CCC South last year. Pirruccio and Schlichting were third and fourth respectively. Also expected to do good things this winter are seniors Andrew Alessi (170) and

enced varsity swimmers. Because of that, Thurston is not setting the bar too high this season. She is shooting for a .500 campaign, and hopes to bring a sizeable contingent to the state meet. “We are looking forward to a fantastic season with a great group of guys. They are working very hard already, and are a determined group,” the veteran coach said, pointing out that the team motto is H2O – two parts heart, and one part obsession.
