Changes in leadership mark a new beginning 2010-11 school year starts Aug. 30 for Berlin schools The Berlin public schools district is under new management. Some faces are new, some are familiar but taking on new roles. The Citizen asked each adminstrator what he or she was most looking forward to as the traditional back-to-school moment arrives. Also in this issue, learn what’s new at Berlin’s two private schools see St. Paul School page 4 and Mooreland School page 3. David B. Erwin Superintendent of Schools I am extremely pleased to be superintendent of schools here in Berlin. While I began my tenure in May, I am anxious to meet more Erwin parents, students and members of the community. I am planning on attending each school’s Open House in the fall to say hello to those in attendance. Berlin is a community committed to high quality education and I want to learn more about how we can be more helpful to students and families. I am thrilled to be working with a very strong staff of talented and hardworking professionals. I am also happy to welcome some new teachers to our Berlin school family. These newcomers replace many of our talented staff who retired or moved on after many years of distinguished service. It is also exciting to welcome many new executive level administrators to our team. I look for-

ward to working with all of them to make your child’s year the best ever. Brian Benigni Assistant superintendent for curriculum and instruction Each new school year provides exciting opportunities and opens innovative possibilities as we strive together to increase student success. In my Benigni new role as Assistant Superintendent for Curriculum and Instruction, a major focus will be to continue the development of a viable standards based common curriculum for all students and to ensure that quality instruction occurs at all levels. The institution of “Instructional Rounds” will help us in developing a common understanding and alignment of our best teaching practices. The challenges that await this year cannot be accomplished without the collaboration of outstanding administrators and teachers who invest in the process of continuous improvement and are committed to the principle that all students can achieve success. I am excited to work with our three veteran returning elementary principals, Ms. Laurie Gjerpen, Mr. Al Sousa and Mr. Sal Urso. I look forward to being immersed into the elementary school environment in which they thrive. I have had the opportunity to meet with new leaders, Dr. Scott Ratchford, Principal of McGee and Mr. Matt Harnett, Principal of Berlin High School. I am eager to work with them in moving their respective

schools to even higher levels of success and am impressed with their energy and enthusiasm! A closing thought to remember — “No one will care what you know, if they first don’t know you care.” I know that we care deeply about the Berlin public schools and the students with whom we work. My caring for the Berlin public schools is what excites me most and motivates me as we prepare to begin the 2010-2011 school year. Valentina M. Parchin, Ph.D. Director of Pupil Personnel Services With the beginning of this new school year, I am looking forward to getting to know the students of Berlin, seeing them learning in Parchin our schools as well as celebrating their academic successes and personal growth. I am eager to meet the faculty and staff members in the schools as well as parents and community members. The opportunity to become part of a whole district team that is dedicated to student learning and well-being is exciting. The dedication to students has impressed me in every school and in each teacher, specialist, administrator, paraprofessional, and support staff member I have met thus far. Matthew Harnett Principal at Berlin High School Berlin High School provides so many excellent opportunities for students, and I am excited about becoming part of this community. I am

very grateful to work in a town where there is wonderful parental support for e d u c at i o n , and where Hartnett the focus is on providing the best opportunities possible for students. I am looking forward to working with the students and staff of Berlin High School in making BHS the best it can possibly be. Dr. Scott Ratchford Principal at McGee Middle School The 2010-11 school year will be filled with new challenges and exciting new opportunities to work with fantastic teachers and students in a truly supportive community. I have felt absolutely welcomed in my first weeks in Berlin from all with whom I have met. Over these past few weeks my experience has affirmed what my research about Berlin had indicated,

that it is a tight-knit, warm place where everyone values education. Catherine McGee Middle School educates the whole child. I can’t wait to have our students back to be a part of what I know will be a positive experience for each of our young people. I look forward to seeing the light bulbs going on over the heads of students who have just come to understand an area being t a u g h t , themselves Ratchford or the world around them a little better. I look forward to seeing students break into smiles as they see me in the dunk tank at the Berlin Fair. I look forward to the sense of accomplishment and pride a student derives from working through a difficult challenge. Mostly, I look forward to the joy that comes from making

cized what they categorized as the state’s willingness “to borrow hundreds of millions of dollars for operating expenses.” House Speaker Christopher G. Donovan, D-Meriden, who has advocated for legislation to benefit the proposed line since the mid1990s, praised the appropriation Tuesday as one that would have economic benefits for the entire state. “High-speed rail service from New Haven to Springfield will energize economic development along a transportation corridor that is critical to our state’s economy,” Donovan said in a release. “It is critical that we continue to move this project forward, and I believe the federal government is getting the message that we are a good investment,” he said. However, House Minority Leader Lawrence F. Cafero Jr., R-Norwalk, criticized the state’s willingness to finance long-term and large scale capital projects through bonded debt, which is typically repaid over 20 years, with interest. In a press release issued last week, Cafero said “With the state’s deteriorating financial health, it should be clear that Connecticut is getting in even deeper over its head and the only way to get out is to stick it to future taxpayers.”

The long anticipated commuter rail service between New Haven and Springfield, Mass., edged closer to reality Aug. 17 after the state Bond Commission approved $260 million for improvements that could also lead to highspeed service in the Northeast. The planned 11-stop, 64mile line through the center of the state is estimated to cost about $800 million to $1 billion to complete, which the state’s Department of Transportation hopes to make a reality by 2016. Meriden, Wallingford and Berlin would all be stops along the new line. Connecticut applied for $220 million in federal funding through the Federal Railroad Administration to help finance the project earlier this month, and Gov. M. Jodi Rell has stated that if the state does not receive the matching federal money, it would have to rethink the financing. Officials involved with the project said that they do not expect to know the status of the grant until the fall. DOT spokesman Kevin Nursick said that, when coupled with the federal railroad grant, the state’s appropriation would finance the second phase of the project, which includes installation

of track, rehabilitation of a number of bridges, culverts and railroad crossings along the corridor, plus “significant improvements” to at least a half-dozen stations along the line, including those in Meriden, Wallingford and Berlin, which also serves New Britain. About $60 million in state and federal money financed doubletracking of a 10-mile section of track in the Berlin area earlier this year. “This is more than a transportation project — it is an essential investment in the economic, environmental and social future of this state and the region,” Rell wrote in an e-mail. “Its prospects for job growth, new prosperity and new opportunity are tremendous.” “The bottom line is that the commitment on the part of the governor and the state of Connecticut to invest its own state dollars in this project shows the level of commitment that the state has,” Nursick said. “That positions us strategically much better than other states that are going to be applying for the same funds...it shows our federal partners that we are that committed to this project.” While many lawmakers say the project will create jobs and spur economic growth throughout the region, several prominent Republican legislators criti-

in which the program is delivered. First and foremost, Mooreland Hill School is a strong community of learners. The family style lunches convey the importance of community as faculty and students sit side by side at each table. Both faculty and students work closely to set and achieve academic and social goals. The resulting strong bonds that develop are reflected in an active alumni group that boasts members from the schools founding class to the most recent graduates. Mooreland provides challenge for those looking for it and provides learning skills for those needing it. Because

New England has a long tradition of academic institutions ranging from strong public institutions, to parochial and independent schools. In some cases these schools have flourished in Connecticut for hundreds of years. The least understood of these schools are the independent schools. In Connecticut, roughly 31,000 students are being educated in approximately 100 independent schools that vary in size, environment, and program. They are coeducational and single-sex schools that range in grades from pre-K to grade 12 and some offer a post-graduate year. Independent schools are as varied as the communities in which they exist. They are all connected by a bond of collegiality cultivated over many years. A fixture in Berlin since 1930, Mooreland Hill School was founded as an independent, coeducational day school to prepare middle school students for the academic rigors of secondary education and beyond. Since the early years, the school’s program has evolved in keeping with sound educational practices and new research on learning. What sets Mooreland Hill School apart from peer schools is the academic, artistic, and athletic context

St. Paul School opens its doors Aug. 30 to begin its 52nd year of educating students from Berlin and surrounding towns in grades pre-kindergarten to grade 8. To meet the needs of our parents, the St. Paul School board voted to institute a new program — a full day pre-K program for four yearolds. The response has been overwhelming with the program now having a waiting list. As part of St. Paul School, students in the prekindergarten program will have many opportunities to be part of the “big school” which will create a unique environment that cannot be found in many programs. St. Paul School and church welcomes Father

Robert Schlageter, OFM Conv as its new pastor. Father Robert comes to St. Paul from Catholic University in Washington D.C. where he served as university chaplain and director of campus ministry for the past 12 years. Prior to that, Father Robert was director of the Neumann Center at Western Connecticut State University. “I am so excited for the beginning of the school year” said Father Robert. “I am a big believer in Catholic education and I plan to be at the front door the day the students return to St. Paul.” We at St. Paul School are extremely proud of our contributions to the surrounding community during the past school year.

As part of a “comprehensive turnaround strategy”, A&P management announced last week that it will close 25 stores in five states. The local store at Webster Square Road is among those expected to close its doors this fall. The Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Company, Inc. made the announcement Aug. 13. The affected stores include locations in close proximity to other company stores, those facing real estate and cost issues, and underperforming non-core stores. The store closures are expected to be completed in the company’s fiscal third quarter. The store manager declined to comment on the closing. A&P President and Chief Executive Officer Sam Martin said, “As part of our turn-

around, we have initiated a detailed review of our store footprint and have decided to close these 25 locations. While this was a very difficult decision that will unfortunately impact some of our customers, partners, communities and employees, these actions are absolutely necessary to strengthen A&P’s operating foundation and improve our performance going forward. We will help our affected colleagues pursue other positions across the company should open positions be available.” “It’s never a good day when any business closes and I hate to see them close their doors. They’ve been in the community a long time. It’s another victim of a down economy,” said Katherine A. Fuechsel,executive director of the Berlin Chamber of Commerce. Last month, the company

quardt will begin to canvas in some of the more densely populated areas of town and neighborhoods where historically there have been issues with unlicensed dogs. The survey will continue until next spring. Lund estimated that there are about 4,000 dogs in town and about half are not licensed. What’s the excuse? People say they can’t afford it, Lund said. The cost of licensing is $8 for a neutered animal and

$19 if not. The dog must have a rabies shot. Some of the fee is returned to the state and is used to underwrite low-cost neutering clinics. By conducting the survey, the town will be eligible to keep more of the revenue from the license fees. The town raises about $14,000 from dog licenses and keeps about 10 percent; with the survey that percentage will increase. In June the town clek’s office held its annual drive to raise awarenss of “dog licensing month.” Typically, people will make sure to license dogs that month or they will do it during July when they come into pay taxes. The town clerk’s office does send out delinquent notices to dog owners and a few do respond, McNair said. There is a dollar a month late fee. A dog should be vaccinated at three months and must be licensed at six months. To be licensed, an owner must show proof of rabies vaccination. “There are low-cost rabies clinics — there are no excuses,” Lund said. See Enforcement, page 30

Fire safety tips for dormitory dwellers rooms today,” said Denise Ducimo, manager, Safety, Connecticut Light & Power. “There are refrigerators, microwaves, TVs, audio equipment and other appliances that can add to the problem.” With students now returning to school and college campuses, CL&P offers these tips to help keep them safe: Use only one appliance per outlet. If an appliance cord or the outlet feels hot, the appliance should be disconnected immediately. Stu-

dents should report any outlets that are damaged or that no longer grip plugs properly to their campus housing staff immediately. Keep things away from appliances that get hot. A toaster oven can get hot enough to burn you and can ignite notebooks and loose papers. Look for appliances with automatic shutoff features so they aren’t accidentally left on all day. Turn off lights, See Dorm, page 13

According to statistics from The National Fire Protection Association, fire departments in the U.S. respond to an average of over 5,600 structure fires every year on school and college campuses. Cooking equipment is among the leading cause of those fires, which are most common weekdays between 11 a.m. and 8 p.m. “Often these buildings have older wiring which wasn’t designed to handle what students have in their

Making the move to preschool

Nicole Arsenault’s second grade classroom is located in the new relocatable classroom wing at Griswold Elementary School. Principal Laurie Gjerpen said the new space, which became available last winter, has worked out well for teachers and students.

Back to School

Transitioning your toddler from the playpen to preschool and kindergarten doesn’t have to be as overwhelming a task as it may seem, if you know what to expect. Experts on education say children who are engaged in learning activities at an early age can most easily adapt to the new formal school environment. Parents can help make the transition easier by preparing a home environment similar to the classroom and engaging children in the following educational activities: Reading Since literacy skills develop in toddlerhood, parents can give their children an early start by exposing them to printed material. •Read aloud to your children daily. This activity exposes them to language, teaches them about books and helps them start identifying words and their sounds. Math Numeracy skills development has become a high priority for many school systems. Aid your children’s number savvy with simple and fun activities. • Count random objects from fingers and toes to fruits and vegetables. Once children learn basic numbers, they’ll probably want to count everything they see. • Sing and say common counting rhymes such as “one-twobuckle my shoe” and “one potato, two potato” to reinforce numbers or be creative and make up your own. Social Skills Learning social skills is an essential part of early childhood development. The more children interact with people other than their parents or siblings, the better they will be able to adapt to classmates and teachers. • Participate in a “playdate.” The intention of a playdate is to give children time to interact freely with others while fostering friendships. Search parenting websites for information on groups nearby.

the computer and audio equipment when leaving a room. Replace that halogen lamp with a floor lamp that uses compact fluorescent bulbs. They run much cooler and only a quarter of the energy. Never drape towels, or any item other than an approved lamp shade over lightbulbs – otherwise, they could ignite. If you use an electric blanket, follow the manufacturer’s instructions and make sure you turn it off and unplug it when not in use. Never tuck in an electrical blanket. Do not use extension cords for long-term situations or overload extension cords, power strips or outlets. Doing so may cause them to overheat and deteriorate quickly, which could result

in a potential shock and/or fire hazard. Keep all electrical cords away from water in a sink or tub. Even an appliance that is not turned on but plugged in can be hazardous, and if it falls into a tub or sink may cause electrocution. Never bend, file or cut a grounding pin from a threepronged plug. Disarming the protection presents a tremendous shock hazard. Inspect all appliances and electronics for frayed cords, broken plugs or other damage. If damaged, stop using it immediately and repair or replace it. Take all on-campus fire alarms and drills seriously. Memorize the number of doors to the two nearest exits in your dormitory. Make sure you know evacuation procedures and escape plans. Bring along a fire extinguisher and a smoke detector if these devices are not available.

Positive priests

With all the negative press about Catholic priests, I thought it would be nice to hear about two that I think have left a positive influence on Berlin. Two of St. Paul’s Church’s priests have been moved to new assignments. Since they were leaving I had some time to reflect on how lucky we were to have them. Our Pastor Fr. Mark Curesky had a great business sense and helped us greatly when times were tough, even having to be the “new guy” delivering the bad news of our financial situation. He was straight forward but ended with a positive message that together, we could do anything. And we did. I have heard many people share in my view that this man has a wonderful eye for design. I will greatly miss how he took holiday décor to a new level that I had never seen in a church, just stunning. Father Martin Kobos was a gentle soul. He was very welcoming with even just his smile, but it usually was followed by a friendly statement. He always welcomed my children in a very innocent hug outside the church after mass, stating “How’s my girls?” We knew he said it to many, but it still made you feel great. He had some great stories to share outside that church. He too had an eye for décor. His décor was the gardens.

All these gifts made you feel welcome in the parish and will be greatly missed by many. The turn out at their going away party was proof of their popularity. So, these are a few of the good guys working for the Big Man. I thank them for all they have done. I would like to welcome and wish good luck to our new pastor Father Robert and Father Raymond and continued support to Father Michael. Cynthia Fox Berlin

Moore information To the editor: In 1927, a mail carrying plane flew low over my house while I was in bed. The next day I found out that the plane crashed into Lamentation Mountain. The pilot was killed. We heard it was Marjorie Moore’s property. In July 1935, Marjorie Moore gave the state 45 acres of Lamentation property for a state park. Marjorie Moore also asked other owners of property on Lamentation Mountain to do the same. I was going to buy three acres of property on Lamentation Mountain for $75, but I decided against it. Railroad Pond in Kensington was built by the company that owned the railroad going See Letters, next page

Ajlal Khan, a Berlin fourth-grade student, visited Niagra Falls with his family over the summer. Here he stands in front of a falls at a nearby miniature golf course.

Summer fun now turns towards school matters By Daniyal Khan Special to The Citizen It’s that time of the year again, summer vacations are almost over and school is about to start. As the first day of school approaches, some students are looking forward to the upcoming school year while others are not so eager about it. A sophomore at Berlin High School this year, Alejandra Madrid said, “I had a lot of fun with my family, we went to the beach a couple of times and went to Six Flags a bunch of times.” However, another BHS student, who chose to remain anonymous, said she “did nothing.” Ajlal Khan, an elementary school student, said, “I went to Niagara Falls with my family.” Alejandra can’t wait or school this year. She said “I’m really looking forward to meeting my new teachers and classmates.” Ajlal is looking forward to long division and math in general. However, he isn’t looking forward to bad class-

mates and annoying kids. The anonymous student said “What I’m not looking forward to is not being in classes with my friends.” BHS gym teacher Jim Arnold, said he had a good summer and as he spent a lot of time with his family, went to many different places, and did carpentry for some extra spending money. Among the places he took his family were: Washington D.C., Hershey, Penn., and Cape Cod. Returning to school “is always interesting,” Arnold said. “Although I am sad that the summer is over, I look forward to help students achieve all they can and hopefully learn a little bit along the way.” Assistant principle at BHS, James Sachs said, “I went to Spain to visit family and friends and had a really great summer.” As school starts he is looking forward to seeing the kids he has known for the past six years and his mentor group. However, he is not looking forward to giving out detentions. School starts Aug. 30.

Letters Continued from page 16 through Kensington. In so doing, they dammed the brook so they could fill up the steam engines with water. After the engines were changed to oil, they had no use for Railroad Pond. They sold it to a building contractor who had plans to build houses on the property after he took down the dam and drained the pond. The party that bought the pond property for $10,000 tried to take the concrete dam down with a jack hammer. It was a solid concrete dam and he was only able to take a small area off the top, about one foot by eight feet. He sold the property to the town for $10,000. The town got in touch with the Marjorie Moore Foundation and received the $10,000. It cost taxpayers over $100,000 to fix the dam. Marjorie Moore worked all her life saving and counting the money she made. Marjorie Moore died at 89 years of age and did not give any of her money away. All her money that was given away was given by the Marjorie Moore Foundation. The Marjorie Moore Foundation should print her will so the taxpayer will know what is going on. Thomas Al Gerdis Berlin

Bad business What is Berlin now? The home of empty buildings? As in the multibusiness facility on Farmington Avenue which went bankrupt, or the old Lee trucking eyesore on the highwa,. or then again the soon to be vacant Foodmart, also the majority of Webster Square, or the many buildings on the Turnpike near the Dunkin Donuts which have all been vacant except the Dunkin. The town isn’t collecting any taxes from empty or bankrupt buildings or companies so why doesn’t the town give businesses some initiatives to come to and stay in this town rather than the overtax and spend that this town is known for. Since all that ac-

complishes is for businesses or people to up and either leave or just not even stop here. Jay Ritter Berlin

Hometown hero To the editor: It’s about time. I was totally amazed that Art Powers is finally going to be recognized for the “hometown hero” he is. When I was young, he would come to the farm and talk to my great-aunts and great uncle. Art would explain what direction he wanted to bring the town and all the problems he would incur by doing so. He has done so much for this town, as I have previously stated in past, I do not understand why such political animosity must be shown to a guy who just wanted to make Berlin a nicer place to live. In my opinion, both sides of the Town Council should get off their hands, leave their political affiliations at the door and start doing the true work of improving the community, trying to lower taxes, control spending on both sides of the budget - never mind who said what - and arguing about cost/expenditures of trivial matters (in my opinion which always boils down to complaining about your three-legged horse that don’t go fast - but you sure got a deal on the price). In my opinion, I know Catherine would be extremely proud to see “Arty” Powers afforded this recognition for working so hard to try to make Berlin a better place to live. But, to me, he will always be in my memory the frisky little school boy who had to go in back of the piano until he cooled down and could resume proper schooling - in a two-room school house way back when.

Superintendent of Schools

Classrooms changes help students flourish By David B. Erwin The changes in the evening sky, coupled with the fact that it is getting darker earlier signals that the start of the new school year is rapidly approaching. With that being said, we in the Berlin Public Schools are anxious to have our nearly 3,200 students return to us on Monday, Aug. 30. Education is vitally important for each of us as an individual and collectively to all of us as a society. The classroom of today, in some ways, is similar to what many of us have experienced as we still cover reading, writing, and arithmetic (only now referred to as math). In other ways it is different as we address the multifaceted needs of our learners. Technology was a blackboard for many of us and dustless chalk was a big step into the future. Today we have interactive smart boards and students are entering classrooms far more technologically advanced than we are. Think about how many times you ask your child or children for technological help. Classrooms of today are filled with diverse learners, many whose primary language is not English, and we provide services to them to assist them to become acclimated to the English language. Students in need of extra assistance can now receive occupational, physical

Commentary and speech therapy, and assistive technology is part of the norm for students. It is amazing to see youngsters flourish with these supports. Teachers, administrators, staff and the central administration along with members of the Board of Education are excited about a new beginning which makes the profession so invigorating. Many students benefitted from our summer program entitled Summer Fun Days. We are pleased that we were able to offer this extended year program to assist students and even more pleased that this was funded through a federal grant. There are several new teachers joining the district and many new administrators have come to Berlin in executive level positions. Work on the McGee Middle School Air Quality Project has progressed at a satisfactory pace this summer and parents, students and staff will be provided with continual updates throughout the school year while the construction workers continue their work which will be done on second shift from school dismissal through eleven o’clock in the evening. It is also exciting to report that through the efforts of your students and the hard work done by the teachers,

staff and administration at McGee that the school achieved adequate yearly progress (AYP) under the mandates of No Child Left Behind (NCLB). The Berlin Public Schools and the Town of Berlin will again be faced with the decision of what type of renovations and additions the electorate feel are needed at Berlin High School. Despite the defeat of the vote in the spring, the needs have not gone away. It is necessary for all of us to work together for the good of the students, the future of Berlin, while remaining cognizant and respectful of the needs of this wonderfully hard working community. Hopefully, plans for renovating the high school will be put forth in the months ahead. I realize that this plan will come with a cost to the taxpayers, but I encourage you to learn as much as you can about the needs of the school, the scope of the project, the cost to you as a taxpayer and the long-range goals of how this can benefit the youth of Berlin for decades to come. I welcome you to stop in and visit me throughout the year or contact me if you have any questions. I am pleased to be here as your superintendent and “Happy New Year!”

there to check on the dog’s status. A rabid bat that bit a small dog recently has spurred decision to conduct a new survey. “People don’t appreciate that it can happen,” McNair said, of the possibility that an animal could have such an encounter. McNair said it’s surprising that “many animal issues come up” and licensing can be useful in helping to resolve these. Police dispatch has a list of licensed dogs and that can be useful in reuniting an owner with a lost pet. Licensing dogs is not new, said Town Clerk Kate Wall. The practice dates back to the 1800s when problems arose due to roaming dogs. Now, however, the main issue is rabies. While a dog that’s had its rabies shot will be quarentined for 45 days, in the event it should bite someone, a dog without that shot must be quarrentined offsite (at a vets or a pound) for six months and that almost always

Colonials rumble into town Berlin Bears suit up nearly 200 players

By Nick Carroll The Berlin Citizen It appears Berkley Gadwah is the first fan to get his hands on a Hartford Colonials replica jersey. And the Meriden resident was more than happy to tell anyone who would listen. The blue and gold jerseys were on sale last week at Sage Park’s Scalise Field — practice home of the Colonials — and Gadwah was at the head of the line at the merchandise table. The Colonials opened training camp Aug. 18. While the team practiced just yards away that afternoon, Gadwah pulled on the jersey, boasting that, other than the players themselves, he is the first guy to wear the uniform of Connecticut’s only professional football team. And he wore it with pride. “This is no fly by night outfit,” Gadwah said of the Colonials, a first-year member of the United Football League. “A lot of these players have been on NFL teams.” Because of the caliber of play, and Connecticut’s love of sports, Gadwah is confident the people of the state will embrace the Colonials. “If I have anything to do about it, they will,” he said. Like Gadwah, Newington’s Paul Plavcan came out to Sage Park to get a close look at the Colonials, and to purchase a couple of jerseys. Why get so invested in a team that has yet to run a single play? “Because it’s our team,” said Plavcan. “We haven’t had a pro team in Connecticut since the Whalers left. I think we have this self-image of

Hartford as a minor league town, or Connecticut as a minor league place. For there to be another pro team in the area I think is really exciting.” The Colonials are counting on low ticket prices to fill seats at East Hartford’s Rentschler Field, where their home games will be played. Tickets go for as little as $15. “How can you beat that?,” said Plavcan, the father of young sons. “In this economy, I think this is a perfect alternative for families.” See Colonials, page 33

As if Berlin youth football wasn’t a formidable force already, a whooping 194 players are in uniform for the Bears this season. And those numbers are no aberration. “We’ve seen a steady increase in the last four years,” Bears Football Director Joe Aresimowicz said, pointing out that participation more than doubled during that time. Aresimowicz attributes the rise in numbers to the revamped structure of the Bears’ program, which players and parents have embraced, and also, the excitement the Berlin High School football team has generated in recent years. The Redcoats earned their first playoff victory in 2007 and their first state championship in 2009. The Bears and Redcoats have always had a connection, but the bond has been strengthened in recent years. This season, seven BHS coaches are working closely with the Bears. Redcoat players are a common sight at Bears’ practices as well. “We install the high school terminology, the plays, blocking schemes, tackling; starting at eight years old, just pare it down slightly for the learning curve,” said Aresimowicz, who serves as an assistant coach at the high school. By the time former Bears

get to BHS “they’re at least exposed to how we teach and what we teach. We’re not getting blank slates at the high school,” Aresimowicz added. For the second straight year, the Bears will compete in the Connecticut Youth Football League. The league consists of 14 towns, many of which appear on the high school team’s schedule. The Bears will field six tackle teams this fall: an A team, two B teams, two C teams and a D team. Also, the Bears offer a flag football program for kids in kindergarten through second grade. The Bears kick off their regular season Sept. 12. Aresimowicz estimates that between the Bears and the high school program, more than 300 youngsters will be playing football in town this season.
