Back to School edition; Classes begin August 31

Teachers will greet students next week By Olivia L. Lawrence Associate Editor Aug. 31, bright and early on a Monday morning, the Berlin school district will be ready and waiting with a big “welcome back” for students. The past days have been hectic with staff orientations, professional development and final preparations to welcome the district’s more than 3,300 eager minds. Below is information on each of the district’s five schools as well as comments from top administrators on what parents and students can expect as the 2009-2010 school year gets underway. For more information go to www.berlinschools.org. Berlin High School, 139 Patterson Way, (860) 828-6577, Principal George Synnott. Built in 1953, with addition/renovations made in 1959 and 1974, the building is 250,000 square feet of space on a 26-acre site. BHS houses approximately 1,100 students in grades nine through 12. “Nothing major has

changed — there have been a few tweaks in the student handbook,” Principal George Synnott said. “A new schedule went into effect last year and we’ll be following the same schedule this year.” Synnott said there was some turnover in teaching staff due to retirement. Interviews for replacements began in May and all positions had since been filled except for one social studies teacher. Interviews for that job were taking place last week. Newly hired are: two English teachers, a math teacher, a social studies teacher and a Spanish teacher. Over the summer, all students were required to read one book from a list of seven books that followed the theme of “similarities and differences.” Synnott said a day will be set aside for students to answer “some essential questions” in regards to the books they read.

NBT buses are ready to roll By Olivia L. Lawrence Associate Editor Peter A. Agostini, president of the New Britain Transportation Company, says his crew and company are an active part of the Berlin community — and well-trained professionals who care about kids. “It’s a very rewarding job,” Agostini said during an interview at the NBT facility at 257 Woodlawn Road. With the first day of school fast approaching, Agostini wanted parents to know drivers are well-coached on how to make the early days pleasant for everyone involved. In Berlin, 55 drivers are assigned to routes that potentially can deliver more than 3,000 students to their schools. “I tell them to remember when they put their kids on the bus for the first time — and to talk to parents and with the children and make them feel comfortable,” Agostini said.

“It’s a classroom on board — they are teachers of safety.” The schools are aware that the first few days there may be delays on certain routes, he said. Especially with the little ones, as parents and grandparents want to take pictures of sending kindergartners off to school for the first time. “It’s hilarious, they get on the bus and everyone says good-bye and they take pictures,” Agostini said. “We allow that to happen.” While bus drivers try not to linger too long, a 40 minute route can stretch to an hour or more the first few days. He asks parents to bear with NBT as everyone involved gets with the schedule and the long good-byes are over. “Please be patient with the timing.” “All problems — we will fix them as fast as

New Britain Transportation buses have been checked The 20th annual St. Paul and are ready to transport students to their first day of School Golf Open is scheduled for Friday, Sept. 25 at school next week. Moms, retirees — often from law enforcement or fire service — and college students are among those who have the right stuff. Drivers are randomly drug-tested, undergo a fingerprint check, and are trained on all procedures necessary to become a state certified licensed school bus driver. Agostini said traffic is the No. 1 problem drivers deal with every day. Bus routes take place during the highest traffic periods, morning and late afternoon. There are drivers out there “who have a total disregard

for the school bus and that’s when you have people coming and going to work and not paying attention,”Agostini said.

we can,” Agostini said. If there is overcrowding, more buses will be added. He works closely with the school district on transportation issues. Parents can help with potential problems, too. “Use common sense with your children and their safety,” Agostini said. “Understand the rules and why these are there.” For instance, some parents (at times with their children) will walk in between school buses that are parked out in front of the schools — an extremely dangerous practice. NBT has been in business since 1920 and “has a good safety record,” Agostini said. He explained the process of hiring drivers and the kind of temperament required. “We ask them ‘why do you want to be a school bus driver?’” Agostini said of the first step in the hiring process. He looks at “personality and presence”, as well as road skills. Drivers need to like to drive, like kids and be prepared for a rigorous screening and training program.

Private schools offer alternative to public education By Olivia L. Lawrence Associate Editor

Berlin is home to two private schools and top admin-

istrators for those facilities highlighted what parents and students can expect this year as Mooreland Hill School and St. Paul Catholic

School get set to open Aug. 31. Mooreland Hill School, 166 Lincoln Street, (860) 2236428, school website Mooreland.org, Headmaster Michael Dooman. Founded in 1930, Mooreland is a coeducational, independent day school for students in grades five through nine. Enrollment has averaged 45 students over the past five years. It offers “a rich and demanding program founded on a traditional, structured curriculum” as well as athletics and extracurricular programming. Orientation day for stu-

dents is Aug. 27. That’s an opportunity for students to get acquainted with advisors and teachers. Younger students are paired with “big brothers” or “big sisters” — older students who can show them the ropes like getting their books, finding their lockers and getting accustomed to campus. The school successfully completed a capital campaign in January raising $1 million dedicated to several initiatives. Among these were: hiring Kathryn West as the new director of admissions and development: allocations “to attract and retain

excellent faculty” and for professional development; and numerous upgrades in technology and telecommunications, as well as to a “new and improved website,” Headmaster Michael Dooman said. Enrollment remains open and parents should know that some of the money raised is earmarked for financial aid, said Dooman, a 1978 graduate of Mooreland. Dooman said he approaches the school year perhaps a little differently than some administrators. “I come up with a theme each year,” he said. There was a year of growth, a year of discovery, and a year of optimism. That year of optimism helped Mooreland reach its financial goals, Dooman said. Now the theme will take a slightly different turn and 2009-2010 will be “a year of living deliberately”— a philosophy based on the writings of Henry David Thoreau. “We’ll be making decisions based on careful thought and research,” Dooman said. That approach will apply “across the spectrum” of the school community and “give us a focus,” Dooman said.

Catholic Christian community offering classes for pre-kindergarten age, for three and four year old children, through kindergarten to eighth grade. Principal Robert Biancamano said there have been several improvements made to the facility over the past few months: bathrooms were refurbished; a playscape added to the playground area and new basketball hoops installed. A number of field trips are planned, including a school trip to the new Connecticut Science Center in Hartford. The school year will begin with an Aug. 27 open house for all of the new students in pre-K through eighth grade. Students will “meet their teacher and hear our expectations,” Biancamano said. School begins Aug. 31 and Sept. 1 there will be a special school Mass to open the school year. Parents are invited. There is an opening assembly to welcome everybody and introduce teachers. Parents of new students

are paired with a “veteran” parent — someone who will welcome them to the school and who is available to call for advice. “It’s a buddy program we started last year and are continuing this year a little more in earnest,” Biancamano said. “We’re building community and camaraderie — that’s part of the St. Paul’s family atmosphere.” Biancamano said one of the goals for the school this year is to continue with the

Schools Continued from page 1 rubric” will be used to measure the quality of the students’ responses. “It’s the first time we’ve used this kind of approach,” Synnott said. The summer reading committee recently reevaluated the summer reading program and recommended that students have one book to read and that their compliance be measured with the rubric approach. In this application, a rubric is a scoring tool that lists the criteria for a piece of work. Synnott said “a good deal of time” over the summer was spent in preparation for the response to the New England Association of Schools and Colleges report with Vice Principal Janet Parlato overseeing that process. BHS is also in the process of addressing facilities issues brought up from a compli-

ance review by the Office of Civil Rights. “There are a number of issues that we need to address,” Synnott said. All of these “will require substantial funding” to correct. The BHS response to NEASC and OCR will be included in a “white paper” status report on all school facilities that will be issued in the fall. Catherine M. McGee Middle School, 899 Norton Road, (860) 828-0323, Principal Brian Benigni. Built in 1969, the school had a major addition/renovation in 1995. It is 142,500 square feet of space situated on a 22 acre site. It houses approximately 750 students in grades six through eight. McGee’s open house and orientation for grade six is scheduled for tonight. The school has a number of new features to highlight. “There’s much excitement,” said Principal Brian Benigni. “The mood is positive and upbeat.” As it has the largest auditorium, McGee is host to all teaching

staff for a convovation that preceeds opening day. The first day of school Benigni will be “running around” smoothing out any rough spots in scheduling or concerns from parents, teachers or students. All the district’s principals are appreciative of the hard work put in by town and school maintenance crews to get facilities ready and “we commend them for that effort,” Benigni said. The school has a new homework policy this year, designed with input from a survey of parents, teachers and students. Previously, the amount and grade weight of homework assignments was up to individual teachers and there was “huge disparity” in these aspects, Benigni said. With the new policy, homework grades will be counted as 20 percent or less of a student’s overall grade. Homework will be assigned nightly, however, there will be no homework assignments over holiday breaks.

A new entrance, re-designed for better security, means McGee’s main office has been remodeled. This week, work crews put finishing touches on the project in order to let the office staff get back in and organized before school began. There will now be only one door through which the general public can enter the building. It will lead to a counter where staff will check in visitors. “It’s ready to go,” Benigni said of the new office layout. Barbara Ventura, formerly a seventh and eighth grade teacher of U.S. history and world geography at the school, is the school’s new assistant principal. “It’s my first school opening not as a teacher,” Ventura said. Her first day will be spent greeting sixth grade students and helping them find their classes. “I’ll be making sure everyone’s schedule is right for the first day of school.” Ventura said the school is increasing its focus on “21st

century skills” and how to increase the ways it can incorporate technology into student learning to help them become more successful in the 21st century. “It’s what colleges and workplaces are saying students don’t have enough of,” Ventura said, adding, it’s critical to increase this aptitude at the middle school level. She said McGee, along with all district schools, is working to improve its “vertical learning” — that is making sure each grade level presents students with a smooth transition in core subjects. State standards for language arts, science and math are coming this fall and district schools are adjusting curricula to meet those requirements. As middle school is, in the middle of the transition students make in their studies as they leave elementary and then, later, move on to high school, Ventura said.

We’re part of a great district and share a common philosophy across the district.” “Before the doors open, we work on a lot of things,” Sousa said. “We’re constantly working and preparing…always thinking about students and what the upcoming year will bring.

Richard D. Hubbard Elementary School, 139 Grove Street, (860) 828-4119, Principal Alfred Souza.

It is located on a seven acre site adjacent to land owned by the town that includes a playground and fields. Approximately 280 students from kindergarten through fifth grade attend this school Principal Al Sousa said “The whole foundation of Hubbard is to instill a love of learning in students and the best way to do that is to bring them into an environment that’s nurturing socially and emotionally — and that’s what they’ll experience on opening day. They’ll see the smiling faces of staff — we’re like a family.” (See first grade teacher profile page 29.) There have been no major changes to the facility, however, the “buzz in” system that’s now in place across the district “will be streamlined and finalized,” Sousa said. “Teachers do so much well before opening day,” Sousa

The first day, students will gather in the auditorium, according to their grade levels, said Benigni, and he will greet the incoming classes. “We’ll set the tone and let them know the expectations. The students at McGee are excellent and they have good behavior.” Mary E. Griswold Elementary School, 133 Heather Lane, (860) 8286336, Principal Laurie Gjerpen. The school was built in 1963, on a 26 acre site, with an addition in 1992. It houses approximately 590 students from kindergarten through fifth grade. “It’s been a good summer,” said Principal Laurie Gjerpen.“It’s been a busy summer as some staff had to move to other spaces until the relocatables are installed. There’s been a lot of movement” as staff set up in other areas of the building and prepared to share space.” Gjerpen said the relocatable classroom units will arrive in December to house some of the schools special services. In the meantime, the school has added a first grade class, so more space for students was needed. “Custodians are doing the primary work of getting everything clean and organized, and in decent shape,” Gjerpen said. There are several new staff members at the school and they have “been in quite a bit all summer long setting up clasrooms, meeting with the reading consultant and colleagues and getting up to speed.” Parents and students will not see any major changes. “Griswold tries to maintain the community connection with parents and keep some of the same things in place from year to year,” Gjerpen said. Upon arrival Aug. 31, students will be greeted by teachers and administrators who will help them find their classrooms. “We try to keep some of those traditions in place…it’s going to be an exciting place.” Emma Hart Willard El-

effective instructional strategies, look at student progress, and plan units that are aligned with curricular objectives. “The goal is to create a safe, orderly and welcoming environment,” Urso said. Christine Sliney, a third grade teacher at Willard for the past 20 years, talked about how she prepares her classroom to help students get to know themselves and their classmates better. She is representative of the behind-the-scenes planning teachers do to ensure a successful start to the year. Preparation begins with “Aloha Day” when students leaving second grade come in to meet third grade teachers. At that time she gives them an “album” to fill in over the summer with pictures that describe their various characteristics such as: musical, athletic, artistic. She gives them a sample album featuring her and her family. When the students come back to school as full-fledged third–graders they will share their albums with classmates as part of a getting-to-know-you exercise. Sliney uses photos of her granddaughter, Korrina Nicole Sliney, to demonstrate the many feelings and emotions people experience, for example: bored, curious, sleepy, and pensive.

ementary School, 1088 Norton Road (860) 828-4151, Principal Salvatore Urso. The school was built in 1955, on a 20 acre site, with additions/renovations in 1990 and 1992. The school houses about 565 students from kindergarten through fifth grade. Principal Sal Urso said the school’s been “lucky enough” to install white boards in six classrooms over the summer as well as ceiling mounted projectors in grade four classrooms. (That means some of the last remaining chalkboards in the district are now history.) The school is also planning to install interactive whiteboards in grade four classrooms. “All of these refinements will support visual learners,” Urso said, adding that there will also be audio enhancement devices to provide better sound as teachers present lessons. “The school will welcome some new staff members (to work in positions which existed in 2008-2009) to support students in all academic areas as well as supervision at recess,” he said. “We have worked to develop a schedule which allows for common planning time among staff members,” Urso said, explaining that the time will be used to identify

Letters to the Editor Fargo proud host to Legion team

To the editor: Hi from Fargo, N.D. We are just sitting back and catching our breath from having eight of the greatest teams of young men here for the 2009 American Legion World Series. It seems like we were just starting to lay the ground work to host this event only two and a half years ago. That time went by so fast, as did the games, once the weather cooperated. It was fun to watch these young men do what so many other teams didn’t get to do and that was to be here and represent their region. All the teams were the best group of young citizens during their time here. You have something that no one will be able to take away from you as a participant at the 2009 American Legion World Series. In reading the blogs from The Berlin Citizen online, it was rewarding for us to see that you all had a great experience in Fargo N.D. and hopefully will return here some time and enjoy yourselves again. Once again, it is too bad that only one team can be the champions, but you are all winners, as I watched you play the game the way it was meant to be. As your team host, Mitch Parker, told me you made his experience one of his greatest memories ever; and he has had a lot of them. Good luck in your futures, as you will have this experience to draw on for the rest of your lives. Duane Rindy World Series Committee Member Fargo ND Post 2 Baseball

To the editor: Here in Berlin we have a business that truly demonstrates the commitment to community. The Quinn family, owners and operators of A.S. Labieniec Feed and Lawn store on Farmington Avenue hosted a customer appreciation day on Aug. 22. It resembled a country fair with all the fixings, food, gifts, raffles, dog grooming, moonbouce, smells, and animals. It was a delight to see kids treated to all the festivities, and food. With ice cream dripping down their arms, screams of delight at the small bunnies or the goats, all little ones, with eyes as big as saucers, had smiles. Whether arms were full of big rabbits or tiny hands holding a baby chick, parent’s cameras flashed. The Quinn family blessed many customers, and through their commitment to community we are sure there are many little ones going to sleep tonight dreaming of their next visit to the red barn and maybe taking home a few chicks, a rabbit or goat. Perhaps the Quinns have planted the seeds of our future new farmers. Bielinski family Kensington

NU finishes move

Northeast Utilities has completed the move to its new corporate headquarters at 56 Prospect Street, Hartford. “We are excited to expand NU’s commitment to downtown Hartford and to be part of the positive momentum in the city,” said Charles W. Shivery, NU chairman,

president and chief executive officer. “With this relocation, we’ve made a long-term commitment to Hartford and the state of Connecticut.” Governor M. Jodi Rell said, “We continue to focus on three things in Connecticut, and that’s jobs, jobs, jobs. The continued growth of NU adds new luster to downtown and bodes well for the overall

strength of Connecticut’s economy. NU’s decision to relocate its headquarters in Hartford is a strong affirmation of the talent and professionalism of its workforce and the competitiveness of our capital city as a headquarters location. On behalf of the state of Connecticut, I welcome NU to Hartford.” “Today, Hartford takes

great pride in welcoming NU as the fifth Fortune 500 company to be based in our city,” said Hartford Mayor Eddie A. Perez. “NU is an important economic development partner for the city, region and state of Connecticut. Its relocation contributes to our revitalization, creating new jobs, and is just another example that Hartford is ‘Open for Business.’” In addition to relocating 167 employees from NU’s executive offices and corporate functions, a walk-in Customer Care Center is open at 56 Prospect Street, improving access for CL&P and Yankee Gas customers. The 143,000-square-foot facility resides on the grounds of the former Parsons Theater, which opened in 1896 before being demolished for

the offices of the Hartford Steam Boiler Company. The building was later sold to the Travelers Insurance Company, which expanded the building in 1964. Twenty years later, the Phoenix Companies bought the facility and renovated the site. NU purchased the building and made renovations to upgrade systems and portions of the building’s office space. NU’s suburban campus, located at 107 Selden Street in Berlin, remains fully utilized by employees from companies and businesses of NU. It continues to be the headquarters of Connecticut Light & Power, Yankee Gas and NU Transmission. For more information on Northeast Utilities, visit www.nu.com.

Berlin Briefs Tax exemption on specially equipped or modified motor vehicles for handicapped or medically incapacitated persons The Assessor’s Office reminds taxpayers of the local ordinance CGS #12-81c, which allows a tax exemption of a motor vehicle that is specially equipped or modified for handicapped or medically incapacitated persons for the exclusive purpose of transporting such persons. For purposes of this ordinance, vehicles owned by private nursing homes or similar health organizations are not exempt on the grounds that said organizations are paid for said services. A vehicle is deemed to have been specially equipped or modified for transporting handicapped or medically incapacitated persons if the vehicle is registered in the name of a person with a State of Connecticut handicapped parking permit and alterations to the vehicle include one or more of the following: special hand controls, lifts, ramps, special seating or stretchers, significant modifications to accommodate

Health District Flu Clinics

Health Briefs

all ConnectiCare Plans, Medicare Part B, and the following MEDICARE plans: Aetna (PFFS only), Anthem, Health Net, and WellCare. Residents with those plans must bring their card with them to the clinic to receive their flu and/or pneumonia shot at no charge. Although vaccination for seasonal flu will not provide protection from the H1N1 flu, it is important to begin building immunity from the other three strains that are predicted to affect us this flu season as soon as possible so that if a person does become ill with H1N1, he or she will not run the risk of catching both the seasonal flu and the novel flu at the same time. The clinics are open to anyone age nine and older, regardless of town of residence. Newington, Rocky Hill and Wethersfield residents who are totally homebound may call the Health District at (860) 721-2818 to arrange for a home visit. A recorded message with Health District clinic dates is also available by calling (860) 721-2822 , option 1, or by checking the Central Connecticut Health Districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s web site at www.ccthd.org.

St. John’s classroom a place for fun ... and work By Olivia L. Lawrence Associate Editor

and planning, but St. John said “it pays off the rest of the year.” Desks are set up in small clusters and on each child’s desk is a container with his or her name and the necessary classroom utensils. “Chicka Chicka Boom Boom” is “a fun book” that the class will read several times until it becomes a familiar reader for them, St. John said. Later, a bulletin board titled “Hopes and Dreams” will be used to share children’s writings about their hopes and dreams for first grade.

Like other elementary school teachers across the Berlin school district, Emily St. John has been painstakingly arranging her classroom to make sure her new students will find a happy workspace when they arrive Aug. 31. St. John works at Hubbard Elementary School and is in her second year of teaching first grade there. She’s been working most days throughout August to put her classroom “back together” for the 22 students she will soon welcome. “I think this year might be even more exciting than last year,” St John said. That’s because, now she’s had a chance to observe the incredible physical and intellectual growth that takes place during a year when a child has just left kindergarten to when he or she is leaving for second grade. The first day of school will be low-key. Students

place to do work.” Her main objective in designing the classroom and activities is to “help the kids want to be here.” First day jitters, missing mom and dad and getting used to a new teacher and classroom all must be treated gently in order to help kids make the transition, St. John said. Songs, stories and games will help to “build a classroom community” and let the children know they are in a place where they will be “respected and comfortable.” This approach takes time

Community comes out to meet the champs By Nick Carroll Sports Editor Fans came out in force this past weekend to honor the Zone 3, Connecticut and Northeast Regional champion Berlin Post 68 American Legion baseball team. The local club returned from North Dakota recently, where it participated in the American Legion World Series. A homecoming barbeque was held for the boys Saturday at Legion Hall. Press clippings and photographs detailing the team’s magical summer run were

on display, as were trophies, plaques and other mementos. The stars of the day — the Post 68 players — received commemorative, complimentary bats and pullovers. With the building packed, the crowd of well-wishers, players and coaches, spilled out to the parking lot that hazy afternoon. Mayor Adam Salina was not at all surprised with the turnout. “It’s a pretty close-knit group of people,” Salina said of the town. “I’m happy to see such a large crowd in such short notice. This was

Dan Laviana, Tommy Undercuffler, Devin Silverman and D.J. Caron work on their putting on a green in the backyard of Caron’s Norton Road home.

Backyard green a big hit By Nick Carroll Sports Editor In what certainly will put him in a good position for the Father of the Year award, Dan Caron spent two months this summer building a golf green in the backyard of his Norton Road home for his teenage son D.J., a budding golfer. Caron worked on the hole when weather, and time, permitted. Last week, he put the final touches on the project — a sand trap. Caron created a drainage system for both the artificial turf green and the bunker. Looking back on the lengthy undertak-

ing, Caron concedes: “It was kind of a pain.” “The rainy weather killed me. Now the heat’s killing me. But I finally got it done ... It was a challenge, I guess,” Caron added, proudly scanning the green and sand trap. D.J., an incoming Berlin High School sophomore, had been using a makeshift green in the backyard before convincing his dad to create a more professional one. D.J. said his father’s initial response to that request was “no way.” But dad soon agreed to tackle the job. Dan Caron dug a hole for the green, See Green, page 33

ing to say congratulations. It’s a great time.” Salina proclaimed August 22, 2009 to be Berlin American Legion Baseball Day. “I think what they did was they brought the community together over the past month,” Salina said of the legion team. “Between the text messaging, and the phone calls, and the e-mails; it was just amazing how many people knew what was going on inside, and even outside of town. Everyone has been following Berlin Baseball. So it’s nice to be able to come here and recognize all of them, and really thank them for their contributions, and for making it such an exciting summer for the town.” State Representative Joe Aresimowicz was on hand to welcome the champs, as well. “Most of the kids on this team I’ve coached in baseball or some other sport. They’re

all around my son’s age,” Aresimowicz said. “I just wanted to come out and congratulate them. It’s an incredible accomplishment. They’re all great kids, they work very hard, and their achievements speak to that.” Having played more than 60 games over the past five months, between the high school and legion season, Post 68 pitcher Mark Bordonaro indicated that he’s experiencing some baseball withdrawal at the moment. “Now that it’s over, I don’t know what to do. I woke up the next day and expected to go to practice. I truly miss it; I really do,” Bordonaro said amid a crush of folks at Legion Hall. “This team has meant so much to me. This is like my second family, and they’ve become so close to me.”

High-tech suits banned from HS swimming By Nick Carroll Sports Editor

In competitive swimming, is a swimsuit a uniform or a piece of equipment? The National Federation of State and High School Associations say it’s a uniform, and therefore must not give the wearer an artificial edge. So, effective immediately, the NFHSA has ruled that hightech swimsuits — like those made famous during the Beijing Olympics — will not be allowed at the high school level. The NFHSA explained its rationale thusly: “Technical swimsuits were introduced to the world of swimming approximately two years ago. The advanced technology fundamentally altered the sport, and swimwear became more of a piece of equipment as opposed to a uniform. The rules of swimming have always prohibited the wearing or use of an item that would aid in a swimmer’s speed and buoyancy. The technical suits

High-tech suits, such as the type pictured, have been banned from high school swimming. The National Federation of State and High School Associations say a swim suit is merely a uniform, and therefore must not give the wearer an artificial edge.

have evolved with little or no regard for these basic rules. In order to preserve the integrity, tradition and heritage of the sport, as well as

protect and enhance the interscholastic swimming program, the new requirements and restrictions on swimwear are necessary to

promote the educational values of high school athletics by promoting fair play.” An acceptable swimsuit at the high school level must be

constructed of a woven/knit textile material, and made so as to not aid in buoyancy. Also, a suit must not have a zipper or other fastening system other than a waist tie. For males, a suit must not extend above the waist or below the top of the kneecap, and for females, it must not extend beyond the shoulders or below the top of the kneecap. Longtime Plainville High School swim coach Randy Doucette indicated that the rule change won’t affect his athletes. With high-tech swimsuits costing more than $500 apiece, Doucette said none of his swimmers invested in one. “We’ve seen them in championships. Especially in the Open, we saw quite a few suits there,” the veteran coach said. Competing without hightech swimsuits “felt like somewhat of a disadvantage,” Doucette added. “But now, with this rule everyone will be in the same boat.” For all the hype surrounding high-tech swimsuits, Doucette believes one of their main benefits may simply be the added confidence they give a swimmer. “Maybe mentally it gives you a little boost,” he said. “When you can wear the same suit as Michael Phelps, mentally, that’s a big plus.” American swimmer Michael Phelps wore the high-tech Speedo LZR bodysuit during the Beijing Games and claimed eight gold medals. In all, swimmers wearing the Speedo LZR in Beijing won 90 percent of all available medals and broke 23 world records. Gaudy numbers like that have some swim fans wishing high-tech swimsuits would go away. “How far is it going to go,” Doucette said of the advancements. “It’s got to end somewhere.”

then laid down stone, clay, and the carpet-like covering. He dug a hole for the bunker as well, filled it with stone, and topped it off with sand. Beyond the green, in a wooded area, is a pretty substantial tree fort. “This is his area, and he has a ball,” Caron said of his son.

Champs Continued from page 31 Bordonaro, who will soon leave for Fairfield University, where he will continue his baseball career, was humbled by the turnout at the homecoming. “When we were in North Dakota, we didn’t really know how big it was at home. But after seeing this, I see what an accomplishment it was. I couldn’t ask for better support from my town,” he said.

Anthony Marzi, another member of Post 68’s formidable pitching staff, had a feeling this Berlin Legion team could be special. “I definitely thought we had as good a chance as anybody to win the state,” the incoming Berlin High School senior said on Saturday. “When we got to the regional and saw a few of the teams play, I knew we could win that too.” “Going to the World Series, it’s an experience I probably won’t get again,” Marzi said. “I’m just glad I was there.” Cory Carlson oversaw Bordonaro, Marzi and the rest of Post 68’s pitchers this sum-

mer. He has been with Berlin Legion for 11 years. “It’s good to see this group of kids win something. And once they won, they really just kept winning. We’re really happy for them,” Carlson said at the homecoming. “We thought we had what it takes to compete. We were pretty excited to get this group of kids back. It was great to see them succeed. It was awesome.” Carlson said his brother Jesse, a member of the Toronto Blue Jays, and a Berlin Legion alum, was excited about his former team’s tournament run. “He followed it pretty close when he

could,” Cory Carlson said. “He would call or text me every night. He was very curious to see how we did. He was real excited for the program.” Post 68 manager Rob Manzo summed up his team’s 34-8 season thusly: “It was a great effort by a great bunch of kids,” the 12th-year head man said at Legion Hall. “To think two years ago we had a losing record … and then to make the ultimate — the World Series, it’s just a great accomplishment. It’s just amazing.” “It’s kind of sad to see these guys move on,” Manzo added, “but also happy, because I know they’re all going

to do great things.” The 2009 Berlin Post 68 American Legion baseball team was Fanol Prevalla, Jake Matuszak, Adam Romegialli, Zach Parsons, Mark Bordonaro, Chris Morin, Jamie Paldino, Pat Dornfried, Sean Sylvester, Matt Carasiti, Taylor Anderson, Doug Ferraguto, Chris Allen, Joe Balowski and Anthony Marzi.

2009 Newbery and Caldecott Awards

Meet Author Margarita Engle Margarita Engle won a 2009 Newbery Honor Book award for “The Surrender Tree.” This is the first time a Hispanic author has won this award.

Becoming a writer

Margarita Engle and her husband, Curtis, have two grown children, Victor, 27, and Nicole, 24. They have two search-andrescue dogs, one pet dog, a cat and a parakeet. They live in California.

Some favorite things Color: “I love all different shades of blue and green. Those are the two things important to me, the sky and the green earth.” Music: “I love old Cuban music. This music has a lot of percussion (puhr-KUH-shun)* that sounds like horses’ hooves to me.” *Percussion is the striking of musical instruments to form a beat.

Children’s book: “The Black Stallion”

Advice for kids “Don’t worry. Be happy. Feel free to be yourselves. Don’t worry too much about other people’s expectations, that you be a certain height, a certain weight. It’s OK to be different. “Read a lot. If you want to write, I think writing is a natural outgrowth of reading. If you’re reading and studying and learning, the writing will happen.”

“The Surrender Tree” uses poetry to tell the exciting, scary story of a real-life woman, Rosa. She goes into hiding to help the victims of three wars in Cuba.

Margarita began writing poetry when she was a child. She said she loved the outdoors. She would go for walks and make up poems about what she saw. “As a child, I would read everything in sight,” she said. “If somebody left a book lying around, I’d pick it up. I read a lot of poetry and was always sneaking from the children’s section into the adult section.” Margarita’s mother was from Cuba. Her father is an artist from Los Angeles. Margarita grew up in Los Angeles. The family traveled to Cuba to visit relatives in the summers.

Childhood

After college, Margarita became a professor of agronomy (uh-GRAHnuh-me), or the study of crops and soil. She wrote science articles and books. When she was a professor, she took a creative writing class. That teacher inspired her to keep writing. When her children were young, she wanted to stay home with them. She left her teaching job and began writing poetry and fiction again.

“Tropical Secrets: Holocaust Refugees in Cuba” is about a Jewish boy who escapes to Cuba from Nazi Germany. It is about a fictional boy, but is based on real events.

Meet Illustrator Marla Frazee Honor Book winner

Her work

Marla Frazee won a 2009 Caldecott Honor Book award for â&#x20AC;&#x153;A Couple of Boys Have the Best Week Ever.â&#x20AC;?

After graduating from art college, Marla worked at many art jobs, including designing toys, games and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Happy Mealâ&#x20AC;? boxes. When she was about 30, she started getting jobs to illustrate childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s books. About 10 years later, she began writing her own books.

Childhood

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Go outside and play.â&#x20AC;?

Color: â&#x20AC;&#x153;White, because I like to think about the white page and what I might put down on that white page.â&#x20AC;? Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s book: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Where the Wild Things Are.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the book that made me decide to be a childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s book illustrator.â&#x20AC;?

Marla Frazee and her husband, Tim, have three boys, Graham, 22, Reed, 19, and James, 15. They have a dog, Rocket, and a cat, Flip. They live in Pasadena, Calif. In â&#x20AC;&#x153;A Couple of Boys Have the Best Week Ever,â&#x20AC;? two friends sign up for nature camp. They want to stay inside playing video games. But things donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go as they plan.

Advice to kids

Some favorites

jacket art ÂŠ 2008 by Marla Frazee, published by Harcourt Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Books

Marla began drawing when she was a young child. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As soon as I learned how to read and write, I was writing stories to go along with my pictures,â&#x20AC;? she said. As early as the first grade, she began telling people she was going to illustrate childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s books. Her friend Lisa told her, â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you want to do this, we need to get started.â&#x20AC;? The girls began creating their own books. Lisa wrote stories and Marla drew the pictures. Marlaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s thirdgrade teacher sent one of their books to the California state fair, and it won an award. They made another copy to stay in the school library.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mrs. Biddleboxâ&#x20AC;? by Linda Smith is about a woman who gets up on the wrong side of the bunk. But she doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let that get her down. She creates joy.
