More than 200 from Berlin served in Civil War 50 gave their lives By Cathy Nelson Special to The Citizen

(The following Civil War history is from Cathy Nelson, historian and assistant director of the Berlin-Peck Memorial Library. She recently spoke on this topic at the library.) Rev. Elias B. Hilliard, minister of the Kensington Congregational Church was about to enter church when he heard the news of the firing upon Fort Sumter. He threw aside his prepared sermon and then gave a rousing spirited sermon. There are over 209 Berlin men who were soldiers in Connecticut regiments, plus Berlin men who served in other state militia and the Navy. Considering the population of Berlin in 1860 population was 2,146, this was

nearly 10 percent of the total population. Berlin men served in 28 Connecticut regiments. Nearly one-third of the men were in three regiments: 1st Heavy Artillery (47 men), 14th (20 men), and 16th (32 men).

By Olivia L. Lawrence The Berlin Citizen Bethany Covenant Church, 785 Mill St., will be the scene of two major events, aimed at helping stop worldwide hunger, over the weekend beginning April 29. The church works with a famine relief organization and at the end of this month will be engaged in an extensive fundraising event as well

during the war. They died of battle wounds at places like Antietam, Md. and Cold Harbor, Va. They died of diseases such as typhoid fever, diarrhea, and black vomit. And perhaps must tragic of all, they died in Andersonville, Ga. and Florence, S.C. as prisoners of war. The first to die was August Brandt of dysentery on Sept. 20, 1861. The first to die in

battle was James L. Bailey at Cedar Mountain, Va. in August 1862. There are some 109 men who are buried in town cemeteries. The last Civil War veteran to die in town was Henry J. Colby on Nov. 21, 1938 at age 81. The only Medal of Honor was earned by Elijah Bacon during Pickett’s Charge in the Battle of Gettysburg.

30 hour famine teaches about real world hunger Activities will raise funds and awareness

The fortunate ones survived the battles and prison and had a unique story to tell. The Berlin-Peck Memorial Library has a diary kept by Henry Sage, a memoir by Jacob C. Bauer, and a published book of letters from Charles Brandegee complied by his grandson Charles Brandegee Livingstone called Charlie’s Civil War. At least 50 Berlin men died

as staging a real-life hunger experience. 30 hour famine More than 25 students from 12 area high schools, with the largest representation from Berlin, will sleep out in cardboard boxes in a “shanty town” during a 30 hour fast.

By Olivia L. Lawrence The Berlin Citizen Scaffolding has surrounded the old Civil War monument in East Berlin for several weeks as repairs have been in progress. The restoration project was commissioned by the Berlin Veterans Commission in preparation for this year’s 150th commemoration of the war which began April 12, 1861. “The stone needs multiple repairs,” said Christoph Henning, a stone carver and restoration expert, who is working on the structure. Henning, who lives on Worthington Ridge, has had commissions that include work for the New York Public Library and the Victoria Mansion in Portland, Maine. As to the East Berlin site, he said. “There is a lot of damage that appears to be vandalism. Bullet holes.” He speculated that numerous areas, speckled with pits, had been struck by BB gun shots, as stone would not deterio-

bringing forward a spare budget that doesn’t hurt services. “This is the best budget presentation ever made by the town,” said Steve Anderson, a resident. The proposed general fund budget is $70,389,110, a total increase of 3.75 percent over the current year’s budget of $67,842,998. This in-

cludes a 2.4 percent increase for the Board of Education or $889,000, bringing the schools’ request to $37.9 million. The proposed mill increase is .97 mills which would bring the mill rate to 24.62. On a $250,000 house, which would be assessed at $175,000 (70 percent of value), this would compute to

an increase of $170 per year ($175,000 multiplied by .00097). The finance committee designated $1,550,000 of the undesignated fund balance to reduce the impact of the mill rate, to be usued only if “absolutely necessary.” Some years, only a small por-

(The budget referendum will be held April 26 with voting from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. at all regular polling locations. Check results online at www.berlincitizen.com.) A public hearing on the town budget was held at McGee Middle School April 12 before a sparse audience mostly made up of officials and town employees. Several firefighters also came out to hear feedback on a new budget addition to give a stipend to volunteer fire crews. In his report, Mayor Adam Salina said, “In response to the harsh economic reality facing Berlin rsidents, we have reduced all departments to staffing levels that we feel are necessary merely to maintain the status quo.” One new position was added, an information technology specialist in the police department. Also included is

new funding, $122,350, for support of fire crews, an item that was put on hold last year. Jim Simons, speaking on behalf of the town’s volunteer fire departments, thanked the council “for the tools to maintain a volunteer fire service for the town.” Although the council heard several questions from the audience on issues such as the condition of the roads, capital expenses being cut, school district cuts and controlling benefits for town employees, most residents who spoke congratulated the town on controlling costs and

A pair of nesting kildeer have taken up residence along the path around Veterans Memorial Park along the western shoreline. The birds were identified by staff at Realty 3, located on Farmington Avenue, who often walk the trails. After noticing the birds, with a nest and eggs, the staff called the state Department of Environmental Protection, wildlife division to get advice. They also spoke with Franklin Wildlife, as to how to proceed with protecting the birds. Kildeer nest on the ground, in meadows and fields. The DEP and Franklin Wildlife recommended placing signs to warn walkers in the area to steer clear. The Realty 3 staff placed signs on the path before and after the nesting area stating “beware of nesting kildeer.”

Better biking

Jim Arnold, Physical Education teacher at Berlin High School received the CTAHPERD Outstanding Program Award for the school’s bicycling program at The Connecticut Association for Health, Physical Education, Recreation and Dance annual fall conference. The Berlin High Bicycle Education’s goal is to offer students an opportunity to participate in a lifetime activity, through several venues. The four week physical education class introduces proper skill techniques, rules of the road and culminates in a short group ride. For those special needs students with disabilities, a tandem bicycle is used. A Bike Club was established to give students opportunities for longer rides or to develop cardio-respiratory endurance. The club involves the wider community: students, teachers, staff, community, and parents riding together on a weekly basis. Students who desire competition take part in the Mountain Bike Race Team. Pictured is the Berlin High School Bike Club at Hubbard Park.

Famine Continued from page 1 children in Haiti.” Working with the World Vision program the group will have resources and ideas on how to learn about the situation in Haiti. “We will play games that simulate difficult situations.” The famine starts after breakfast Friday morning, April 29. The kids will go to school and not eat again until lunchtime Saturday. The plan is to raise awareness in their school, get donations, — perhaps students who will donate their lunch money and go hungry for a meal. One year, a student got his whole class to skip lunch. Another way to raise money is to get sponsors for the event: $30 will feed a child for a month. Those who would like to sponsor a student can do so at the craft fair (see below) or send a donation to the church with checks made out to World Vision or Bethany Covenant Youth. Donations are tax deductible. “We are also trying to use the opportunity to teach our students many other lessons about life, and wealth, caring for others less fortunate, and how to love our neighbor,” Satterberg said. “If they become more compassionate towards others, that would be wonderful.”

Thursday, April 21, 2011 — The Berlin Citizen

Budget Continued from page 3 tion of the fund balance allocation is used. The mayor pointed out the “questionable viability of future revenue streams” such as state funding. He said Berlin continues to have economic development even in stagnant times. “We have made great strides over the last few years and we must continue to invest in our community to ensure its success and competitiveness for years to come.” “You’re going to be seeing a

lot more ribbon cuttings in the next year than you’ve seen in some time,” the mayor said in answer to a question about the town’s economic growth. Board of Education President Gary Brochu spoke about budget “drivers” that “we have little or no control over.” These include the cost of benefits, transportation, utilities and tuition (for special needs and magnet school students who attend programs out of town.) These amount to $821,509 of the $889,448 increase allocated by the council, leaving about

$68,000 of increase for other needs. Resident John Kilian voiced the only major objections to the budget plan, saying increased spending should not exceed the increase in revenue from the Grand List, which grew 1.48 percent last year. The proposed budget was approved in a 5-2 decision by

the Town Council, earlier this month. The two Republican councilors and the five Democratic councilors split the vote along party lines. Resident and former mayor, Art Powers asked the Republican councilors to explain their objections to the budget. Councilor David Evans said it’s important that the

town live within its budget and that the professional/ technical accounts could have had more scrutiny. Councilor Robert Dacey disagreed saying that account included many quality of life benefits for residents such as recreational programs, library and pools.

Jefferson redux

To the editor: Councilwoman Karen Drost’s Letter to the Editor last week regarding the budget begins with her professing her admiration of Thomas Jefferson and his philosophy of frugality, “frugality in spending as well as in power and authority” in government. I, too, am an admirer of Thomas Jefferson. Arguably his greatest achievement as president was to spend $15 million (most of which was borrowed from European financiers at six percent interest) to finance the Louisiana Purchase. This added over 800,000 square miles to the United States. Furthermore, Jefferson

knew making this purchase wasn’t expressly authorized by the U.S. Constitution but, fearing he might lose this great opportunity if he had to wait for a constitutional amendment, completed the purchase without it and thereby expanded the power of the federal government forever. Notwithstanding the above, Ms. Drost uses her interpretation of Jefferson to illustrate her belief that “debt” and “government” are bad. I suggest she try telling that to the millions of Americans who enjoy the benefits of the greatest country on earth by living and working in those 800,000 square miles that Thomas Jefferson, “debt” and “government” purchased. Or the rest of us who merely benefit from the enormous amount of natural resources that came with the land. Ms. Drost goes on to not only criticize the budget, but also our town manager and staff by insinuating that the town is not being run effi-

ciently. During these difficult economic times the capabilities, effort and sacrifices of our town manager and workforce made it possible for some of us on the budget committee to identify and make reductions to the budget while maintaining our current level of services at a cost within our means. I was raised to believe (and I bet Thomas Jefferson was, too) that you can’t sit back and let others do the heavy lifting and then criticize the way they do the job. Steve Morelli Deputy Mayor

The Berlin Citizen Thursday, April 21, 2011 large part because of his efforts, BHS football had an incredible defense that supplemented its high powered offense. As a result, BHS football achieved great success. We all fondly remember and appreciate Rosek’s characteristic enthusiasm, passion and charisma. With a combination of Rosek’s love of the game and incredible wit, he made playing football so much fun. Through his leadership, he taught us the essence of teamwork, diligence and success, and for that we are forever grateful. As Berlin searches for a new defensive coordinator for the irreplaceable Rosek, we thank Coach Rosek for all he has done for the Berlin High School football program and for all of us individually. We are all sad to see him go. We wish him continued success. David Campagna Doug Campbell Sean Roche

Best breakfast To the editor: On behalf of the Kiwanis Club of Berlin, I would like to take this time to thank

each and every person, business and sponsor that contributed to making the 17th annual Kiwanis-Upbeat Pancake Breakfast a success. This year’s event generated a windfall of $4,400, all of which will be forwarded to the Berlin Upbeat program for use in their programs which help develop the mind and community spirit of our local students into becoming well-respected young adults. The Upbeat students have always been there to assist the Kiwanis Club in our various fundraising endeavors and we have truly enjoyed their participation. A very special thanks also goes to the American Legion of Berlin and its members for donating their banquet hall and kitchen facilities at no charge for two days, each and every year, over the last 17 years. This has allowed a substantial donation to be made to the Berlin Upbeat program. Once again, thanks to all who contributed to making this a successful annual event. Jim Horbal Kiwanis Club of Berlin

Commentary

Lori’s Rock Stars set to roll at May 7 Arthritis Walk By Lori Dwyer Special to The Citizen

Each year adults and children living with arthritis, their family and friends come together to walk Dwyer and raise money for arthritis research, programs and services in an effort to improve their lives. My name is Lori Dwyer and I am the sponsorship cochair for the West Hartford Arthritis Walk this year. Upon waking up one morning, I could not move my arm and went to the emergency room. As the days passed, I was experiencing pain all over my body (hands, feet, knees, neck, hip). Three years ago — after several hospital visits, blood test and X-rays — I was diagnosed with having rheumatoid arthritis at the age of 34. I was unable to walk or move well while experiencing a great deal of stiffness and discomfort. I went from being an active person enjoying concerts and photography to not being able to get out of bed or get dressed by myself. Currently, I take arthritis pills, a home injection of low-dose chemo, a five hour IV infusion of Rituxan every six months and over 20 vitamins a day. I also go for routine blood work every two months to have my liver function checked, and my sed rate checked to show inflamma-

tion activity in my body. Every morning is a new day for me, not knowing how I will be when my feet hit the floor — however, having the support of my family, friends and Dr. Christopher Manning have all been an inspiration to me teaching me to never give up. The Arthritis Foundation has been a tremendous asset to my life. It has guided me in many positive ways. I have met many wonderful people who have all been an inspiration. Arthritis is the leading cause of disability in the US. Fifty million Americans are living with doctor diagnosed arthritis. The largest annual event is the Greater Hartford Arthritis Walk. It will be held on May 7 at St. Joseph College in West Hartford. The event takes place on a track, making it easy for people with arthritis, and allowing for breaks as needed. Please come out and enjoy the festivities and support the Arthritis Foundation. It is a great way to meet other families with similar situations. Damon Scott is the master of ceremonies and Mark The Shark is the DJ for the day. Dunkin’ Donuts, Friendly’s , Best Buy, Home Depot will offer free goods and services. If you would like to make a donation to my team, Lori’s Rock Stars, or to register for the walk, log onto: greaterhartfordaw.kintera.org. You can also stop by Dirty Dog, Canine Design or Labieniec Feed & Grain to purchase a “dog bone” for the Arthritis Foundation.

Fierce fashion McGee Middle School student Margot Paul, 12, kneeling at center, poses with other “trashion show” models: Libby Moran, Lydia Henning, and Mollie Pettrizzo. The Trashion Fashion Show will take place on Earth Day, Friday, April 22, at 7 p.m. at the MAC650 Gallery, 650 Main Street, Middletown. All garments in the show are made from donated recycled items such as: brown packing paper, used gift wrap and tissue paper, plastic bags,and straws. Margot’s garment is made from teen-themed magazines. Volunteer models include professionals from CONNetic Dance Company, as well as some students from Ballet Theatre Company. Amy Merli, a professional dancer with CONNetic Dance Company, helped organize the event and created several of the outfits.

Repairs Continued from page 1 rate in that way. Furthermore, there is decay related to a poor selection process in the quarry. According to Henning, sometimes Portland brownstone shows greenish stains. Those are concentrations of chlorite minerals that filled a void which was created from tree roots when the stone was still mud and the dinosaurs were walking around in it. Roots sucked minerals out of the mud and later disintegrated themselves making room for the chlorite minerals which now cause the stone to crumble. After the war, in 1871, the East Berlin monument was erected by the Grand Army of the Republic Post. It is located at the intersection of Main Street and Berlin Street in East Berlin near Wilcox Cemetery. There are 53 names on the monument. The part with the names lettered into it has many kinds of damage, Henning said, and the north side is crumbling. It may need additional treatment with a consolidant, a chemical that restores bonding between the sand grains.

Henning described other required repairs. “The beautiful warm color of the stone was covered with lichen, mosses and mildew.” He cleaned this off with a vapor steam cleaner which helps to kill the organic growth, but which also has nylon brush attachments that help to remove it. The first step was to scrape off thicker layers with nylon/plastic putty knifes. No acid or alkaline cleaners are used because those solutions can contribute to the formation of soluble salts that are harmful to the stone. Henning said the Portland brownstone material often suffers from delamination cracks because of swelling clays within the stone. His plan was to pin the layers to the solid inside of the stone with fiberglass pins and epoxy. Larger voids, more than 1.5 millimeters, are filled with injection grout. Smaller voids are partially filled with injection epoxy. “There was one outbreak in the middle of good material that I cannot explain,” Henning said. This break, plus the chlorite damage, will be repaired with “implants” also know as a “Dutchman repair” — which

means new brownstone will be glued in. Last year, the Civil War monument next to the Kensington Congregational Church — the first such monument in the country — was repaired by North Shore Architectural Monuments, of New York. Located on Percival Avenue, on the church lawn, the memorial was made in 1863 using a design by Nelson Augustus Moore, a well-known Berlin painter. The structure is made of brownstone from the Portland quarry, as is the East Berlin monument. The wrought iron fence, which surrounds it, was made at Moore & Sons Manufacturing Company. There are 16 names on the monument. This monument was erected while the war was still ongoing, it was the first war memorial for the Civil War constructed and dedicated in the entire United States. It was dedicated July 1863, just days after the Battle of Gettysburg. (Cathy Nelson, historian and assistant director of the Berlin-Peck Memorial Library contributed to this story. More historical and restoration photos can be seen in an upcoming edition of The Citizen.)

St. Jarre, softball team chalk up third victory By Jim Bransfield Special to The Citizen

Will Matuszak has had a big year for the Berlin High School baseball team, 4-1 at press time. Matuszak is pictured sliding into third for a triple in a victory over Maloney last week.

Redcoats taking winning record to Cooperstown By Nick Carroll The Berlin Citizen

The Berlin High School baseball team won its first two games of the season, but Leo Veleas was unimpressed with his team’s play. Last week, the Redcoats chalked up another pair of victories, and this time Veleas liked what he saw. “The kids responded very nicely this past week; had a good week,” the veteran head man said. Veleas challenged his seniors to step up in Week 2, and they did. “Let’s give them the credit,” the coach said. However, Veleas pointed out the seniors had help. “I think it was everybody. Everybody got involved,” he said. Berlin blasted Maloney, 9-0, Thursday at Zipadelli Field, and topped New Britain, 4-1, two days later at Beehive Stadium to improve to 4-0. “The last couple of games we played pretty well,” Veleas reiterated. “We hit the ball pretty well against Maloney. And the New Britain game, Austin Barnes pitched a great game, and we had some decent defense. That was the name of the game.” Through four games, Barnes, a senior, had two wins. He went the distance in both outings. Shane Garfi and Will Matuszak also have chalked up victories on the mound. Matuszak’s win came against Maloney in a complete game effort. The senior came through at the plate as well, manufacturing three hits. Also getting it done offensively for

the locals have been Mike Cowperthwaite, Bobby Mozzicato and Matt Papke. Papke, a senior outfielder, missed nearly the entire 2010 season with an injury. While sidelined, Papke impressed Veleas by remaining a fulltime member of the team. “It would have been very easy — and understandably so — to just say ‘I’ll come to the games.’ But he came to every practice. He didn’t miss anything,” said Veleas. “To me, that’s a great team player. That’s a guy who would probably do anything that you asked him to do. Those are the guys that you like to have on your team.” The Redcoats’ win streak was snapped Monday with a 7-3 loss to visiting Glastonbury. Garfi took the loss. Berlin is heading to Cooperstown, New York this weekend to face Southington at Doubleday Field, which is located two blocks from the Baseball Hall of Fame. The teams will stay overnight on Friday and take the field the following day. The Redcoats have made the trip to Cooperstown before. Veleas believes it’s a worthwhile drive. “Obviously, there’s a lot of history behind the field and the Hall of Fame, and that’s the whole idea behind it,” the coach said. “I always say the parents probably get a bigger kick out of it than the kids do. But once the kids have graduated and they go to their fifth and 10th reunion, they’ll say ‘remember playing at Cooperstown?’ It will hit them a little bit harder then than now.”

Berlin High softball coach Jason Pires thinks things can only get better for his Redcoats, who owned a plus-.500 record at press time. “We’re 3-2, but we lost two games 10 and 2-0,” said Pires, who is in his eighth year as head coach. “Our early season schedule is mostly road games, too. Eight of our first nine games are on the road and we won’t be home again until May. But I feel very good about this team and I’m not at all displeased with 3-2.” The key to the Redcoats — who were 13-8 in 2010 — is pitcher Monique St. Jarre and their strength up the middle. Pires has veteran starters at catcher in Stephanie Lapierre, shortstop Brittany Labbadia, second baseman Sarah Brochu and center fielder Paige Owens. All are at least threeyear starters and Labbadia was a Connecticut High School Coaches Association All-State player last season. Berlin topped Glastonbury, 10-2, on Monday to earn win No. 3. The Redcoats also hold wins over Northwest Catholic of West Hartford, 5-0, and Enrico Fermi, 16-0, in a game called after five innings because of the Mercy Rule. The 1-0 loss was to Class S power Coginchaug — the run was unearned — and the 2-0 loss was to Central Connecticut Conference rival Maloney of Meriden. The Maloney game was 0-0 in the

sixth when the Spartans took advantage of some sloppy defense to score two runs, one of which was unearned. Clearly St. Jarre has pitched well enough to be 5-0. “Monique has a 7-1 strikeout to walk ratio, which is excellent. She has given up just one earned run in five games,” said Pires. “Even in the game Monday, we had a 10-0 lead in the seventh inning then we made an error that gave them two unearned runs.” Pires said that his team’s strengths are pitching and defense, but he has worried a bit about his offense. “We’ve spent a lot of practice time hitting,” said the coach. “It’s getting better. We hit very well against Glastonbury. No question the pitching and defense is there; the key for us will be scoring runs.” The Redcoat road warriors continue their journey around the state this week. Berlin was slated to play at Middletown Wednesday, then next week play at Bristol Central on Monday, visit Bristol Eastern on Wednesday and on Friday travel to Meriden to take on Platt. All are CCC South Division games. “All these early road games will turn into an advantage in the second half as we will be home most of the time,” said Pires. “Another advantage is we have lights and will play a lot of night games, which enables our fans, especially our parents, to see our games. I’m hoping we will be able to go on a run.”

BHS baseball’s ‘All-Time 9’ is unveiled

Coats’ Notes Emma Johnson (6-2, 6-2). Rybka and Cavaliere and Josephson have yet to drop a game this spring. After coming up a point short in its season-opener, last week, the Berlin High School girls track and field team chalked one up in the win column. The Lady Redcoats won 15 events and cruised past Maloney, 107-41. Berlin had four doublewinners in the rout. Kate Piotrowicz bested the field in shot put and discus, Carla Mangiafico was first in long jump and triple jump, Catherine Voelpel prevailed in the 200 and 400, and Alex Carbonell outran her competition in the 1,600 and 800. Lady Redcoat coach Steve Soucy also was pleased with the work turned in by Jaqueline Carlson (personal record in javelin), Dawn Grabowski (personal record in pole vault) and Liz Orsini (personal record in pole vault). As part of a training routine, against Maloney, Soucy had his mid-distance and distance runners compete in events that were either longer or shorter than their preferred race. The harriers

By Nick Carroll The Berlin Citizen Seven weeks ago The Citizen asked the community for help in selecting Berlin High School baseball’s dream team — the “All-Time 9”. Since then, the votes have flooded in. Selections were posted to the Citizen website. They came via Facebook, e-mail, phone calls. “Best of ” lists such as this have the tendency to be topheavy with players who competed in recent years, but that’s not the case with the “All-Time 9”. Players who wore the red 50-plus years ago are represented. That’s a good thing. Well, here it is. Let the debate begin!

Conditions were wet and raw, but the Berlin High School boys golf team was largely unfazed. The Redcoats put up a 163 in their season-opener last week and easily knocked off Middletown (203), Platt (255) and Bulkeley (268) at Timberlin. “This was an acceptable performance on opening day,” said BHS coach John Line. “It was challenging to play in many ways, but the team kept their focus with few exceptions.” The Redcoats’ Brendon Hull was match medalist with a 39. Chris Martino and Connor Bowen fired 41s for the home team. Kevin Jud had a 42 for the victors. Led by match medalist Victoria Fagan’s 43, the Berlin High School girls golf team put up a 189 in its season-opener Monday at Indian Hill and easily topped host Newington (223). Rounding out the Lady Redcoat slate was Alyssa Scheyd (46), Emily Stickel (48), Emily-Anne Deutsch (52) and Erika Park (52). “This team is capable of putting up a much better score than the 189 we shot today, but given the wet course conditions, and the fact that it was our first match of the season, we’ll take the victory and move on,” said BHS coach Jim Barnes. “It’s going to be fun watching these girls after we get rid of the early season jitters and the weather warms up. I think we will see some really fine scores from this year’s team.” The Berlin High School girls tennis team headed into April vacation on a good note. The Lady Redcoats blanked Windsor, 7-0, last week to improve to 2-0. Rolling up wins in singles play was Eva Rybka (6-0, 6-0), April Regan (6-3, 6-1), Jen Flannery (6-0, 6-3) and Shawna Rosol (6-4, 6-4). Prevailing in doubles action were the teams of Kristen Cavaliere and Kelly Josephson (6-0, 6-0), Kelly Byrnes and Sam Cooper (6-4, 6-1), and Megan Pitkin and

GAINING DEVELOPING SELFFRIENDSHIPS CONFIDENCE

One of the many benefits to summer day camp is the opportunity to develop lasting friendship, something that YMCAs have been doing every summer for over 150 years. Give your child the opportunity to make life-long friendship this summer by sending them to either YMCA Camp Thundermoon in Berlin, CT or YMCA Camp Sloper in Southington, CT. Both YMCA day camps pride themselves on fostering friendships and developing meaningful relationships.

Two Great Options for the Town of Berlin, CT Check out the upcoming open house Featuring:

Notes Continued from page 25 stepped up. “They were still able to, not only compete, but put up respectable numbers in those events,” said Soucy. Kaylene Sylvain took second in the 400. Carbonell won the 1,600. The Berlin High School boys track and field team didn’t fare as well against Maloney. The Redcoats fell, 87.5-62.5. Shaun Sullivan had a big day for Berlin (0-2). The senior notched personal bests in triple jump, long jump and pole vault. Sullivan placed first in triple jump, second in pole vault and third in long jump. Other notable performances were turned in by the Redcoats’ Connor Hilbie (first place, 1,600; first place, 3,200), Brendan McLarty (first place, 800), Nick Strain (first place, javelin) and Jim Nolan (first place, pole vault). BHS coach Rick Hanbury also highlighted the performance of Will Cavedon in the 3,200. Cavedon out-dueled Maloney’s top runner to take second. “It came down to who could out-sprint the other,” said Hanbury. “The race was decided by less than a yard.” Four matches into the season, the Berlin High School girls lacrosse team was still searching for its first victory. The Lady Redcoats fell to Hamden, 10-4, last week to

drop to 0-4 on the year. Kira Eleveld had two goals for the Lady Redcoats. The Berlin High School boys club lacrosse team downed Lyman Hall, 10-0, in its season-opener, then went on to top Watertown, 3-2, and Wolcott, 8-1. Jeff Gotta recorded the shutout against Lyman Hall. Powering the Redcoat offense in that one was Ryan Wearne (2 goals, 1 assist). Other offensive standouts included Michael Markiewicz, Bruce Cutkomp, Michael Tenore, Kevin Shea and Conner Bernard. Against Watertown, Berlin’s defense, once again, came up big. Gotta made 13 saves, while Brandon Ralph shut down Watertown top scorer. Tyler Bouchard scooped up six ground balls for the victors. A goal by Tyler Kradas with just two minutes remaining gave the Redcoats their winning margin. Berlin dominated Wolcott from the start, allowing its opponent just five offensive possessions in the first half. Anchoring the defense was George Stevens, Kyle Bolduc, Bouchard, and goalies Gotta and Matt Cote. On offense, the Redcoats were patient and tactical. Kradas and Greg Buck had two goals apiece. Buck also dished out an assist. Bernard and James Nolan won 10 of 13 face-offs. — Nick Carroll

It was the fifth time Hillside Landscaping won the prestigious award. The show theme was “Capture the Magic”. Hillside’s entry depicted a woodland hide-a-way, featuring six-foot waterfall. Owners Steven Walowski and John Wilcox said “the countless hours of planning, setting up and working the show all seems to be worthwhile when you are recognized by your peers.” Hillside Landscaping is located at 162 Burnham St. and can be reached at (860) 828-8929.
