Pavement pounding still best strategy for local races Carolyn Wright, North Haven Republican Town Committee chair, points out details on her party’s map it used to plan its door-to-door campaign in the last election. | (Daniel Jackson/Special to The Citizen)

By Daniel Jackson Special to The Citizen

These aren’t your parents’ elections.

Over the last few years, strategies with which state and national politicians have conducted campaigns have become more and more sophisticated. A senator from Illinois breathed fire into his campaign with a YouTube video which went viral. That happened in 2008. The senator’s name: Barack Obama.

Today, not a campaign goes by without a flurry of tweets, Facebook posts and on-line fundraising — except, at the local level.

While state and national elections have used social media and databases to target pockets of voters previously unreached without the technology, many chairmen of the town parties said social media is pushed to the back burner during local campaigns. Candidates in municipal elections will used the time-honored strategy of walking doorThe Citizen talked to sev- about their use of social me- to-door, making themselves eral chairmen of political dia during this round of elec- available to the voters of town committees and asked tions.

Lions prepare grounds for 65th annual fair

By Monica Szakacs The Berlin Citizen

Get ready everyone, it’s the 65th year of the Berlin Fair, and the local Lions Club has an array of new entertainment lined up that is sure to amaze.

Fireworks are scheduled for Friday night, opening day. Fireworks light up the sky every five years at the fair, according to Lenny Tubbs, Berlin Lions Club member.

But that’s not all.

“We literally have something for everyone this year,” Tubbs said. “We have a lot of new entertainment coming in, especially for the families. We have good bands ready to perform.

There’s going to be music all the time on the fairgrounds; from jazz, oldies and blues to rock and country and even top 40 pop.”

Concerts include country recording artist Jon Pardi; Stephanie Hansen Band, a country band from Eastern Connecticut; polka performer Jimmy

Sturr and his orchestra; and masters of the blues J. Geils, Jeff Pitchell, G. Beaudoin with Texas Flood and the Jeffetts.

New entertainment this year includes The Eastern Action Sports Teams Stunt Show, The Marvelous Mutts, Backstage Academy of Dance demonstration, Chain Saw Sickline Carving demonstrations, Paul Bunyan Lumberjack Show, and the Circus Smile and Aerial Thrill Show.

“I think the children and families will really enjoy the dog stunt show, the aerial acrobat balancing show and the mountain bike stunt show, which is different from last year’s on a larger scale with a new team and more stunts,” Tubbs said. “And I can’t wait to watch the wood carving — this guy is amazing. I’ve already seen his work and he is unbelievable with what he can do with a chainsaw.”

Of course crowd favorites such as the Xtreme Team Bullriders and Dan LaRosa’s Comedy Hypnotist Show See Fair / Page 21

Zak Sanders, spokesperson for the Connecticut GOP, said he is mostly concerned with the state-wide Republican party and its message. Town parties in the Republican party have a degree of autonomy.

“They’ve all got their own strategies,” Sanders said.

Wallingford man faces child enticement charge in Berlin WA L L I N G F O R D — A Wallingford man faces child enticement charges after police said he sent sexually explicit texts to an underage Berlin girl.

Charles Ofori, 29, of 13 Brookview Ave., was arrested Aug. 29 and charged with attempt to commit en-

ticing a minor by computer and risk of injury to a child.

Ofori engaged in a “single exchange of text messages” with the juvenile girl, according to Berlin Police Deputy Chief John Klett. An investigation began after the girl’s parents found the texts, which were sent in July, and notified police, Klett said.

Klett said Ofori claimed

he did not know the girl was a minor, but officers had probable cause to believe he knew or should have known.

Ofori entered a notg uilty plea in to the charges.

He was released on $25,000 bond and is scheduled to appear in New Britain Superior Court on Oct 29.

Two rabid skunks were captured during the week of Sept. 9, one in Berlin and the other in Rocky Hill. Three people were exposed to these animals and were required to undergo post-exposure treatment, as rabies can be deadly in humans.

Any mammal can get rabies, whether wild or domesticated. The most common wild animals that carry rabies are raccoons, skunks, bats, foxes, and coyotes. However, cats, dogs, and cattle also are susceptible to the virus.

Rabies is a disease that attacks the nervous system. It is usually transmitted through the saliva of an infected animal into an open wound or the mucous membranes of the eyes

or mouth of an uninfected person or animal.

The most common mode of transmission of the rabies virus to people is through the bite of an infected animal. Handling a rabid animal, or coming into contact with its blood, urine, or feces, does not result in transmission of the disease. Any infected material from the rabid animal would generally become noninfectious when it is exposed to the sunlight and dries out.

To learn more about rabies in both humans and animals, contact the Centers for Disease Control at 1-800- CDC-INFO (1-800-2324636), or visit www.cdc.gov/rabies.

For more information, contact the Central Connecticut Health District, (860) 721-2822; or visit www.ccthd.org.

date training sessions, and there, they give some advice to town politicians on how to integrate social media in campaigns: focus on one or two platforms, like Facebook and Twitter. The party suggests candidates show a behind-the-scenes look at the campaign trail, publish photos of people making phone calls, or going door to door.

But ultimately, Sanders said, no matter how savvy a campaign is on Twitter or Facebook, it doesn’t replace traditional campaign strategies.

Elizabeth Larkin, communications director for the Democratic Party in Connecticut, would agree with her counterpart in the Republican Party that she isn’t focused on social media during the municipal elections. She gives out very similar advice to municipal candidates in the Democratic Party on how to use social media.

The Democratic Party, too, holds campaign training, but Larkin said social media is “not on the agenda.”

However, she said she wants to be a resource for candidates who want to learn more on how to use Facebook or Twitter to reach voters.

“I tell people to start from a place of being helpful to other people,” she said.

She said she tells candidates to be conversational, to not just republish press releases.

However, Larkin is focused on the state as a whole, and “back to basics campaigning.”

Rosemary Morante, Democratic Town Committee Chair for Plainville, said the technology used in elections have changed so much in the last few decades. During the 1990s, the town Democratic party used to run off copies of documents and mail all the committee members in order to communicate. Today they use email.

“I remember the days we were hand-addressing envelopes,” Morante said.

She started working on campaigns back in the 1970s.

Then, the party would get the list of voters in a paper document. They would then pour over the list. They would

“I hope this is year that we start adding technology to our local, Democratic campaign,” she said.

D i a n e L ev y, D u rh a m Democratic To w n Committee chair, said the use of social media in local elections is the way of the future and “It’s something that we’ve been talking about,” but not during this election, not in her town at least.

“I think this election isn’t going to be as heated as some,” she said.

She said the Durham Democratic Town Committee will focus on social media on larger elections, like in the election for the Board

spend more time in clerical tasks. Today, they get the list in the form of a database on the computer, and the information is malleable.

The party can delete or add information.

However, when it comes to the next generation of technology, social media, “up until this point, we haven’t done a lot,” Morante said.

Earlier this year, the party formed a party-building sub-committee to look at candidate recruitment, fundraising and new uses of technology.

The priority for Plainville’s Democratic Party is to create a conventional website, Morante said. After that, they hope to branch out with

Grandma’s effort to keep the Sabbath Day holy

By Ralph Lord Roy Special to The Citizen

Since 1978 the first Sunday of September has been des-

ignated as Grandparents Day. There are about 70 million of them in the United States, most deeply attentive to the lives of their grandchildren.

My earliest memory from childhood involved the death of our maternal Grandpa Corliss. He was a retired farmer when he lived with us and had been ‘laid out’ in our parlor. The house was filled with people, and I dimly recall how Mom gently shushed my younger sister and me. I was four and Erma was two, and apparently our behavior was inappropriate to the somber occasion.

Grandma Corliss had died when Mom was 13. The only grandparent I really knew was Grandma Roy, born in Canada in 1864, one of 10 children. While her maiden surname was Lord, the family language was French.

Soon after she had married Grandpa Roy they moved a few miles south to Swanton, VT, just across the Quebec border, where we were raised. Grandpa worked on a farm – not his – then on the railroad. He died at age 42.

They were FrenchCanadian Protestants, a rare breed, who would have joined the Baptists had they a church in town.

They first attended the local Congregational Church until

they discovered that the pastor smoked a pipe. In their view tobacco and alcohol were especially dangerous temptations to avoid. They then became Methodists, though Baptist influence persisted. My four siblings and I were not baptized until age 12 – believers’ baptism.

Sunday worship was at 11 o‘clock, followed by Sunday School for all ages at noon. Swanton was in dairy country, and this schedule allowed farmers time for morning chores before putting on their Sunday best.

Dad left to pick up his mother at about 10 o’clock, then drove back home – and we’d better be ready. There was a busy railroad crossing between us and our church, which was located across the river alongside the village green. Every Sunday morning a long freight train would slowly pass through, which could seriously delay us if we hadn’t already crossed those tracks. If that happened, as it occasionally did, Dad could become irritated. He was a perennial usher and wanted to arrive well before the service began.

33745R

After church Grandma Roy would join us for our big Sunday dinner, then remain through the afternoon. She spoke with a slight French accent, a sprightly, petite and devout woman, who emphasized the Biblical commandment that the Sabbath be kept holy. To her this meant no mowing the lawn or weeding in the garden, but also no playing cards or dominos, no tossing baseballs or footballs, no ice skating on the pond nearby, and certainly no movies. In fact, Grandma frowned on cards and movies altogether. Mom confided in us that this had been a problem when she and Dad first married. Mom enjoyed a regular afternoon of bridge with other women of the local Shakespeare Club.

In those days, all the stores were closed on Sunday.

Most neighbors and friends engaged in Sunday sports, swam or fished in Lake Champlain nearby, or went to the evening ‘picture show’ at the Champlain Theater uptown on Canada St. Unless there was a special event at the church or that occasional family picnic we stayed at home. Relatives might drop by, and Mom tried to make it more fun by having us pop popcorn.

She especially liked to corral everybody into the parlor, off-limits on weekdays, to sing around our player piano where we belted out “Let Me Call You Sweetheart”, “In the Gloaming” and other old-time favorites. After a sandwich supper, Dad would drive Grandma home. Then we gathered in the living room around our large Philco radio, laughing loudly as we listened to Jack Benny, Fibber McGee and Molly and other favorite programs.

When we heard Walter Winchell’s staccato delivery of “Good evening, Mr. and Mrs. America…” – that meant it was 9 o’clock and bedtime.

We all grieved when Grandma died followSee Sabbath / Page 11

ing a brief illness in 1946.

She was 81. A couple years later, when I was at college in Pennsylvania, I went to New York City to spend a weekend with Dad. By then he had become deeply engrossed in several small town enterprises, and now and then he and Mom enjoyed escaping for a few days to Manhattan, which included a Broadway show or two. That Sunday morning, as was their habit when in New York, we went to the Bible Breakfast at the old Sloane House YMCA, then to Marble Collegiate Church to hear Norman Vincent Peale, the famed author and preacher.

We hurried to join the line outside the church, hoping to get into the main sanctuary rather than the overflow chapel.

At lunch that day my father shocked me. “How about going to Radio City for a stage show and a movie?” he asked. “Dad,” I said in amazement, “all these years we couldn’t do that sort of thing on a Sunday.” “I know, I know,” he replied. “But two things are different now.

First, we’re not in Swanton, and who will know or care?

And, second, your Grandma is gone. We went along with her emphasis on one commandment to follow that other commandment about honoring your mother and father.” Then he added with emotion in his voice: “I had another reason, too. Sunday was when I would spend the whole day with the family, and everybody was there together. All week I looked forward to Sunday.”

Opinion Murphy votes against attack on Syria

Letters to the Editor Clean up the town To the editor: Regarding the recent article about making the lower end of Main Street a one-way and enhancing the area; it’s a foolish idea.

Better that we put our efforts into cleaning up other parts of Main Street.

Properties near the center, as well as others around town, are poorly kept; trash on the front porches and in yards is an eyesore.

What ever happened to the town’s blight laws?

How about enforcing those laws.

There are many properties around town with adverse conditions such as: Abandoned houses with junk vehicles; grass and weeds out of control; unregistered vehicles in yards; worn out lawn mowers, tractors, equipment and appliances strewn about and visible from the street; ramshackle buildings and barns are in town, too. Neighboring towns don’t seem to have near as much as we see in Berlin.

Get after those owners and have it cleaned up.

Nick Nesci Kensington

Support Democrats To the editor: Berlin is a great community. The Democrats on the Town Council have responsibly invested in our community by maintaining and improving our town’s infrastructure, modernizing our internal management systems, and placing a priority on education. As a result we have strengthened our spirit of community, grown our grand list and earned an excellent financial bond rating.

The Democratic slate is committed to continuing that investment. The Republican’s past and current philosophy of slashing funding is penny wise and pound foolish. We are committed to moving forward, not sliding back.

I ask you to support the Democratic slate of candidates which includes, Rachel Rochette, Maggie Morelli, Bill Rasmussen, Will Watson and Kevin Murphy. We are the team that is committed to continuing the fiscally responsible investment in our community and moving the town of Berlin toward a strong and vibrant future! We hope that we have earned your trust and your vote.

WASHINGTON — Sen. Chris Murphy voted against President Obama’s plan to take military action against Syria and warned that such an attack could involve the U.S. in the civil war ”in a way that will be difficult to untangle.”

T h e S e n a t e Fo r e i g n Relations Committee voted 10-7 Wednesday, Sept. 4, in favor of a resolution authorizing Obama to order a ”limited and tailored” military attack ”against legitimate military targets in Syria.”

Murphy, D-Conn., was one of two Democrats who joined with five Republicans to vote against the resolution; seven Democrats and three Republicans supported the measure. Sen. Ed Markey, D-Mass., voted present.

The resolution set a 90-day time limit for presidential action and specifically barred ground troops for combat.

Those restrictions were pushed by committee members concerned that the original White House proposal was too open-ended.

Another amendment sponsored by Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., tilted in the opposite direction and stated that one goal of a military strike was to bring ”decisive changes

The Senate committee vote was the first congressional test of Obama’s military authorization request. The full Senate is expected to take up the resolution after the lawmakers return next week from summer recess.

Later, Murphy issued a statement declaring that Syrian President Bashar al-Assad’s use of chemical weapons against the people of Syria was ”a human rights atrocity and a blatant violation of international law.”

“It’s impossible to see the horrific images of death and suffering in Syria and not feel compelled to act in some way.”

But, Murphy continued, ”There is not always an American solution to every international crisis. For me, today’s vote was a close call, but in the end, I voted no because I believe that the downside risks of military action, both for U.S. interests and the Syrian people, outweigh the potential benefits.”

There is ”little chance” that targeted air strikes would destroy Syria’s chemical weapons stockpiles,

he said, and may ”simply prompt another deadly reaction from Assad as well as the countries that finance his murderous regime.”

The insertion of U.S. military power has the potential ”to further destabilize the nation and propel its descent into chaos,” he said.

Murphy expressed concern that the resolution ”will involve us in the Syrian conflict in a way that will be difficult to untangle. We are naive to believe that our support for the opposition, or opposition to Assad, will end in a matter of months. Taking sides in this conflict will likely commit our country to an open-ended engagement, at an untold cost to both our reputation in the world and to American taxpayers.”

He urged increased humanitarian aid to Syrians affected by the civil war and more diplomatic and economic pressure on the Assad regime.

Committee approval came after Secretary of State John Kerry and Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel told the panel that U.S. credibility was on the line following Obama’s warning last year that any See Murphy / Page 13

Commentary

Photos can foil or fool you

By Laura Clementsen Special to The Citizen

Part of renewing a driver’s license is getting one’s picture taken by the clerk at the local Department of Motor Vehicles office. Most Clementsen of us groan when we see the resulting head shot encased in the small laminated card. It’s as if it’s always a bad hair day. The worst is that it may be necessary to show it during the next four to six years at least whenever we cash a check or wherever a photo ID is required. I may have to say, “Yes, that grumpy-looking person in the picture

use of chemical weapons by the regime of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad in the ongoing civil war there would cross ”a red line” that would merit a penalty in the form of military action.

Kerry and Hagel said failure of the U.S. to act would embolden Iran, North Korea and terrorist groups to conclude that U.S. threats were mere empty rhetoric.

Kerry said Assad’s forces used chemical weapons on Aug. 21 against insurgents, resulting in a death toll exceeding 1,400.

Kerry made the same case Wednesday before the House Foreign Affairs Committee.

Obama said last weekend that he would seek congressional approval of such a

I don’t know if mug shots are still posted in the post office, but on TV news we do see the faces of persons wanted by the police. Sometimes it is only the fuzzy shot taken by a surveillance camera and sometimes the alleged perpetrator is only seen in a hoodie so we don’t actually see the face.

The worst of trying to take a recognizable picture of a person with the pointand-shoot camera is you have to wait until the film is developed to find out if you got the shot at all. With the digital camera, if you don’t like the picture, for example, if the subject has closed her eyes like a friend of mine always does, you get a second chance to capture a step, though he maintained that he could order military action even if Congress voted against authorization.

Saving tips for seniors If you’re living on a fixed income, every penny counts.

Use this checklist to make sure you’re saving money where you can.

1. Current Expenses Take the time to compile all of your current obligations (such as supplemental health insurance, prescription drug insurance, life insurance) and examine if you have the most cost-effective plan for you and/or if all plans are still relevant. Consult with a trusted information source before terminating plans. When assessing your prescription drug plans, consider reaching out to your local State Health Insurance Assistance Program, where you can get free information about Medicare, including applying for and selecting plans.

2. Health Insurance If you’re enrolled in Medicare and have limited income and assets, you may be able to put over $100 back in your monthly Social Security check and minimize your premiums and co-pays by learning more about Medicare Savings Programs. There are four different Medicare Savings Programs that can help with Part B premiums

and other costs. Each program has a different income and resource eligibility limit.

3. Prescription Drugs If you qualify, Medicare’s Extra Help and local prescription drug assistance programs can help you cut your medicine costs.

4. Property Taxes Legally whittle down your annual tax bill with help from local abatement, circuit rider, or work-off programs. On average, you can save $500 to $2,000 annually with this assistance.

See if you qualify for free tax assistance from the IRS 5. Phones In many states, individuals over a certain age qualify for a free cell phone plan.

Consider switching from a land line to a free mobile phone. Lifeline also offers a discount on local phone services for qualified individuals. Each state has its own

1. Have breakfast... even if you don’t feel hungry Studies show that people who eat breakfast feel better both mentally and physically than those who skip their morning meal. British re s e a rc h e r s a t C a rd i ff University even found that spooning up a bowl of breakfast cereal every morning is associated with lower levels of the stress hormone cortisol.

2. Eat every three to four hours H av i n g t h r e e s m a l l ish meals and two snacks throughout the day can keep your blood sugar and energy levels stable all day long, says Roberta Anding, R.D., a spokesperson for t h e A m e r i c a n D i e te t i c Association (ADA). Note the word “smallish.” Supersized meals demand more of your energy to digest, which can leave you feeling lethargic.

At each mini-meal, get a mix of carbohydrates (which the body uses for energy), protein (which helps sustain energy if needed), and healthy fats like those found in fish, nuts, and olives.

3. Fill up on more fiber Fiber has a time-releasing effect on carbs, so they enter your bloodstream at a slow and steady pace, giving your energy staying power, says Anding. When choosing your mini-meals, include fiber-filled options that add up to the daily recommended 25 to 30 grams of fiber (the average person gets only be-

Fall sports preview: Let the games begin

By Nate Brown The Berlin Citizen

The falls sports season kicked off this week. The following takes a look at the Berlin High School varsity sports teams competing this season: Football Head coach: John Capodice (10th year, 82-21).

Assistants: John Paul Demko, Rob Levesque, Rocky Gagliardi, Joe Aresimowicz, Mike Mendoza, Ed Hrubiec, Pete Ladas Sr, Pete Ladas Jr, Mark McLeod, Don Dellaquila, Ryan DeGroff, Rick DeGroff, Patrick King, Bob Mayette.

Last year: Leading at the break, the boys were one

half of football away from their second state title in four years. That didn’t happen, as the Redcoats were bested by the Hillhouse Academics in the Class M state finals, 34-12, to finish the season 11-2.

Key losses: Scott McLeod, Tyler Bouchard, Kevin Main, Justin Gombotz, and many more.

This season: While having lost plenty of offensive production from last year – including two 1,000-yard rushers – the Redcoats return senior Mitch Williams, who is entering his third year as starting quarterback.

Williams threw for 1,477 yards and 18 touchdowns last year, and looks to improve upon those numbers this year.

An experienced offensive line, including the likes of seniors Dante Vasi and Anthony Duong, will allow Williams to continue to work from the pocket, and provide plenty of room for whoever takes over the running game.

Outlook: After four straight 10-plus win seasons, the Redcoats could end up taking a step backwards this year.

It will be difficult to replace all the experience and talent the team lost. Yet Capodice and Co. have always produced great teams.

It’d be foolish to bet against Berlin.

Boys soccer Head coach: Dave Francalangia (14th year,

95-97-23).

Assistant: Sal Parafati.

Last year: The Redcoats experienced quite the case of déjà vu. After posting a record of 10-5-3 and making it to the Class L state quarterfinals in 2011, the boys finished the 2012 season with a record of 11-5-3 and made it back to the state quarterfinals, losing to Avon, 4-0.

Key losses: Six letter-winners, including Brajan Cano, Kevin Langevin, Ben Tencza and Pat Veley.

This season: Berlin will be led by senior Alex Bednarek (forward/midfield), a three-time all-conference and two-time all-state athlete who is receiving attention from NCAA Division I schools such as Columbia and Villanova.

Also leading the way for the Redcoats will be seniors Steve Burns (midfield) and Brian Bostrom (goalkeeper), and junior Evan Hale (midfield/defense).

In all, Berlin has eight returning starters and 15 returning varsity players, which has provided a lot of competition within the group.

“Hopefully that’s a good thing,” said Francalangia.

Outlook: With so much of last year’s roster still intact, it wouldn’t come as a surprise to see Berlin make it to the Class L semifinals, or beyond. After coming so close the past two years, the boys seem poised to take the next step.

“The team works well together and have a purpose and a chip on their shoulder,” said Francalangia.

“They want to compete.”

Girls soccer Head Coach: Steve Yanosy (12th year, 141-39-14).

Assistant: Kim Church.

Last year: The Berlin girls posted a record of 114-3 and lost to Pomperaug, 1-0, in overtime in a second-round of the CIAC Class L state tournament

game.

Key losses: Cat Voelpel, Shannon Mahoney, Cassidy Goodwin, Bianca Jacques.

This season: The majority of last year’s team remains intact. The Lady Redcoats only had to replace two starters.

“This year, we will still be a ‘young team’ but our experience and skill should be very good,” Yanosy said.

Led by seniors Sam Carbonell (defense) and Kelly Cohen (midfield), juniors Sarah Bosco (forward), Cara Johnson (midfield) and Erin Goodwin (midfield), and plenty of sophomores, the locals look to make it back to the state tournament, while also competing for the CCC South title.

Outlook: On paper, the Lady Redcoats are young.

Yet, after losing eight starters a year ago, the girls responded with a stellar season that hinted of greater things to come.

Look for this “young” squad to continue to grow and play beyond its years.

A return to the state tournament seems imminent.

Girls swimming Head coach: Jenn Atkins (first year).

Assistant: Amanda McCarthy.

Diving coach: Jan Zagorski.

Last year: The Berlin girls had an impressive showing at the Class M championships, placing seventh with 284 points.

The Lady Redcoats finished tied for 36th at the State Open.

Key losses: Joanna Wojtun, Katherine Burek, Amanda Martino, Leah Pawelczyk.

This season: In Atkins, a familiar face takes over at the helm.

Atkins has served as an assistant for the BHS boys swim team the past eight years.

A BHS alumna, Atkins See Preview / Page 18

will work closely with McCarthy and Zagorski to put the best lineup in the water.

Aside from seniors Lauren Baretta, Sobilo Deana, Olivia Kadja and Natasha Nixon, junior Kelsey Kozikowski and sophomore Olivia DeGroff have stood out.

Outlook: The Lady Redcoats are a young team with a brand new coach.

While some may consider that a recipe for disaster, Atkins has been around the sport and the school for quite some time and is ready to lead the program into the future.

There will be some growing pains along the way, but Atkins is looking down the road at the bigger picture.

Volleyball Head coach: Bob Tarigo (32nd year, 420-180).

Assistants: Nancy DeBlasio, Jeff Tarigo.

Last year: The Berlin girls posted a record of 127, and earned the 11th seed in the CIAC Class M state tournament, where they were upset by Lauralton Hall, 3-2, in the first round.

Key losses: Gabrielle St. Jarre, Kristina Hagmeier, Kailene Rampone, Emily

The Berlin Citizen | theberlincitizen.com

Hamel, Dominika Wedjda.

This season: The Lady Redcoats will receive plenty of work and expertise from seniors Olivia Dellaquila, Alicia Maule, Tess Repaci and Amanda Patterson.

Those girls saw plenty of action last year filling out Tarigo’s rotation, and will use their experience to push for a CCC South division title.

Helping the seniors will be juniors Abbie Underwood, Alyssa Germano and Abby Simone, as well as sophomores Megan Piskowski, Alexis Perrone and Julia Lagace.

Outlook: The Lady Redcoats are young. With just four seniors on the roster, younger athletes will need to step up.

Yet if Tarigo’s crew can figure out a balance that works, they can be a very competitive group.

If Berlin can find a consistent finisher on kill shots, the Lady Redcoats could find themselves back in the postseason.

Cross country Head coach: Steve Soucy (fifth year).

Assistant: Bob Casey.

Last year: It was a season of team bests for the Redcoat runners.

The boys set a new school record for time, while the girls qualified for

the State Open for the first time ever as a team.

Key losses: Brendan McLarty, Matt Kall, Lawrence Betterini, Ryan Klizsewski; Stef Parillo, Paige Young, Nicki Sylvain.

This season: The girls look to be just as dominating as they were last year.

They return their top four scorers, including seniors Brittany Sullivan and Nicole Greco, as well as juniors Taylor Lupini and Kristen Madeia.

“The girls are looking to win the CCC South,” said Soucy, adding that the girls are looking to qualify for State Opens as a team, once more.

The boys, however, are a mixed bag.

“We graduated so many key varsity runners that we don’t really know what to expect,” said Soucy.

The squad will look to senior James Dwyer, junior Sam Papacoda and sophomore Connor Ladd for leadership.

Outlook: The girls seem poised for another big year.

Returning the teams’ top runners can only mean good things for a squad that has made great strides over the past few seasons.

The boys will probably take a step back, however.

After losing so much talent, this fall could be filled with growing pains.

senate seat and Murphy’s election campaign was willing to use that network to help municipal, Democratic candidates win their towns’ elections.

The email, signed by Murphy, told the town chairs to set up an online contributions page, then Murphy would reach out to his list of supporters in the respective towns, endorse the municipal candidates and direct his supporters to contribute money and volunteering time to the local campaigns.

He told the Democratic chairs he didn’t know how it would work out — this was the first time anyone planned to email the supporters from a larger election to help win a smaller election.

N o r t h H a v e n To w n Committee Chair Walt Spader said Murphy’s offer is a way to strengthen the Democratic Party in the state. By letting municipal candidates send messages to Murphy’s political database, the party is trying to motivate people who only vote every few years.

This builds the infrastructure of the party, Spader said.

It will help Murphy during his future re-election campaign, U.S. Senator Richard Blumenthal’s future campaign and the overall party “It’s very important to

build that base now,” he said.

Anne Reilly, Republican Town Committee chair for Berlin, said social media is a new avenue for the town party. Presently, the Republican Party is revamping its website, but Reilly sees the potential for social media.

It will allow for greater distribution of their message, and she hopes the new platform will “create a neighborhood feeling,” similar to the one created by going door-to-door.

Durham resident Lisa Davenport, who sits on her town’s Planning and Zoning Commission and the Republican Town Committee, said she ran for state senate in 2010. Social media, she said, is “just another avenue,” and does not replace knocking on doors.

During her campaign for Connecticut’s Senate, she had to reach 100,000 people with her platform. She had to use social media because a large race needs to be personal, even when the candidate can’t reach every voter personally.

But elections on a local scale become much more personal, much more interpersonal. Instead of reaching 100,000 voters, candidates only need to reach 7,000 in the town of Durham, she said.

This lends itself to candidates traveling door-to-door.

Even when the Durham’s Republican Party uses social media, in the case of first Selectman Laura Francis, Republican, “she also makes sure she has the time to get out there,” Davenport said.

While Francis has her own TV show and Facebook account, the first selectman from Durham also meets

The Berlin Citizen | theberlincitizen.com

people at the local coffee shop.

Southington Republican Town Committee Chair, Brian Callahan, said social media reaches a younger audience. College-aged people, adults in their 20s and 30s, use social media. The older generation, 50-plus, rely on the newspapers and the phone book for their information, he said.

“It’s just going to get bigger and stronger down the

road” Except reaching voters, fully embracing all that technology has to offer campaigns is difficult for the local political parties, said Callahan.

While larger campaigns have used online fundraising, and detailed databases of voters that allow them to target previously unreached pockets of voters, Callahan said its harder, or even not useful for local campaigns to

use the technology.

Campaign laws being what they are, Callahan was weary of fundraising online because of all the red tape.

“It’s really difficult to do.

You really have to run house parties or barbecues, dinners,” he said.

Voter lists are public records, available at the Secretary of State office and town clerks’ offices. They include party affiliation, address, phone number and

“All the information that they put down when they register to vote,” Callahan said.

Larger campaigns will buy lists with more detailed information about individual voters.

Callahan said his local party is not trying to gather all they can about voters. He called big data collection for voter lists an “infringement on our rights” that falls into the category of phone tapping. The Southington Republican Town Committee doesn’t buy voting lists, but instead uses the public voter list. That amount of information is sufficient for running a local campaign, Callahan said.

Kathleen Kokoszka, the Republican Town Committee chair for Middlefield, said direct mailings are the way her town committee reaches all the voters, even the ones not on the computer, or that read the newspapers. Older residents, she said, often do not have social media accounts.

If they focused on social media, the candidates would exclude those voters.

Kokoszka said social media was one part of a campaign.

Ten years ago, campaigns simply went door-to-door, sent out mailings and placed ads in the newspapers. Now, there are more ways to reach voters.

But, she added different strategies work in different places. Some towns have a lot of commercial areas. Other towns are larger than others.

Different demographics.

Door-to-door is beneficial for candidate and constituent, she said. When a candidate knocks on someone’s door, they are offering a personal forum with that voter, Kokoszka said. The candidate and the voter are able to sit down together. The voter can ask questions of the candidate and leave the meeting satisfied with the candidate’s answers.

“That’s honest. It doesn’t get more honest than that,” she said.

Of course, Kokoszka said, candidates don’t reach every voter that way. People don’t answer their doors, or perhaps they are not home.

“Mailing reaches every home. Door-to-door gives the human contact,” she said.
