Berlin High School project moves forward on schedule By Monica Szakacs The Berlin Citizen
The Public Building Commission, under the recommendation of Construction Manager Tom Smith, of Gilbane Building Company, has decided to re bid Phase I of the Berlin High School renovation project in its entirety. During a meeting held Oct. 2, Town Engineer
Arthur Simonian reported the project’s progress to Town Council. Previously, council recommended only portions of the project, which came in over budget, go back out to bid. These portions include steel, mechanical and electrical components. But Simonian said the construction team See Council, page 15

After a woman sustained injuries by a bull, Xtreme Team Bull Riders continued its show.
Berlin Fair a big success despite bull incident By Monica Szakacs The Berlin Citizen During opening day of the Berlin Fair, Oct. 5, a woman was injured by a bull while participating in the contest “Ring of Fire,” where members of the audience get into a ring with a bull and try to outlast each other. According to police, the
woman was transported by helicopter to Hartford Hospital and is expected to recover. The name of the woman, who is in her 30s, has not been released. Contestants, who are non-professional bull handlers, signed a waiver and wore protective gear, according to police. The Xtreme Team Bull Riders host the game and have pro-
fessionals in the ring with civilians. Each participant paid a $20 fee to stand in a circl drawn on the ground inside the bull ring. When the bull is released, contestants run to safety. The last man or woman standing in the ring with the bull wins the

Board of Education candidates During this November general election, Berlin electors will vote between seven candidates to fill the four vacant seats on the nine member Board of Education. The board is nonpartisan and candidates are not endorsed by any political party, nor are they listed on the ballot with a party affiliation. All candidates participated in a Q&A and submitted bios. Last week, The Citizen printed the four incumbent candidates’ bios: Gary Brochu, Kristin Campanelli, Jeffrey Cugno and Cynthia Kobus. Following is a list of the three new BOE candidates who seek election: George Synnott, Thomas Niemiec and Charles Paonessa.

Town enters agreement for annual water system repairs By Monica Szakacs The Berlin Citizen
As is the practice every year, the town requests outside services for a contractor to perform routine, emer-
gency and minor repairs for the Water Control Commission in regards to the water and sanitary sewer system. This year on Sept. 6, the commission opened bids for the contract and there were

five responses. Two contractors were awarded the agreement for the remainder of this fiscal year, recommended by the WCC: Primary low bidder, D&S Sewer Contractors, of Kensington, and secondary bidder, Tobacco & Son Builders, of Bristol, according to Town Manager Denise McNair. This means D&S Sewer Contractors will be the main
servicer and Tobacco & Son Builders are back-up or are avaliable for special items. Arthur Simonian, public works director and town engineer, said the WCC requested that the contractors add in dollar amounts for all the items on the bid forms, which included items such as tri-axel trucks. Some of the contractors did not bid on all the items. By not doing
that, it made it difficult for the town to compare all items. “We did try to give them the benefit of the doubt of at least taking the items that contractors did submit on, and do that for some of the other contractors, who submitted on all the forms, to see if there is and difference

Bakery known for its Italian bread celebrates 30 years By Monica Szakacs The Berlin Citizen
When Santos Motta, coowner of Sanremo Bakery located on Farmington Avenue, was 9-years-old, he injured his arm from a bicycle accident. To exercise his elbow, his parents put him to work rolling dough for bread because the back and forth motion was therapeutic for his joint. “I didn’t mind the work and after that, I started to enjoy the art of baking bread,” he said. Throughout his life, Motta worked at his parent’s
bakery in Hartford. Thirty years ago, Motta and his wife, Rita Motta, decided to open a bakery in Berlin on Mother’s Day. “The Italian bread is very popular and is the only item we sold at the bakery when we first opened,” Rita Motta said. “We make the bread fresh here at our store.” Over the years, the bakery expanded with stuffed bread, homemade pizza, lunches, pastries, Danishes and cookies. The bakery also caters events all around the state. Every holiday season, while families are out shop-

ping at crowded malls and department stores, Rita Motta looks forward to spending time in the bakery for those special occasions. “Around the holidays we do cookie trays, especially for Christmas, and Easter bread for Easter,” she said. “It’s just something really extra that we do for family festivities and the bakery gets really busy. Everything else is repetitive on a daily basis, so it’s nice to change up our menu and it’s part of our family tradition.” The bakery is named after the popular tourist destination of Sanremo, Italy — the capital town of the Italian Rivera — also known as the “city of flowers.” The land of Sanremo expands up to the French boundary, with a Mediterranean climate on the sea coast. The Motta’s son, Johnny Motta, 31, has been working full time at the bakery for the past five years. He oversees the wholesale accounts and is a primary bread baker. “It’s a lot of work because it’s a long process, but I love the art of making bread just like my father,” he said. What some might not know, the process of creating the dough and baking the bread can take half of a day to make. According to Johnny Motta, it starts with mixing the dough, cutting it into individual pieces and letting it rise for the first stage. Once the dough has risen, it has to be rolled out into the
ISSN 1525-1780 USPS 017-666 Published weekly by Record-Journal at 11 Crown St., Meriden, CT 06450
loaf of bread. The bread then needs to rise again before it is baked in the oven. The speed of the dough rising depends on the humidity in the air. The colder the room is, the longer it takes for the bread to rise. “I mean, you make adjustments to the water temperature and the amount of yeast you’re using, but on very humid days everything
rises extremely fast,” he said. “It’s more so the humidity in the air, rather than the temperature outside.” Johnny Motta said he intends to take over the family business. Sanremo Bakery currently has no plans for expansion to other towns, but he said it could be a possibility in the future when he becomes owner.

State receives federal grant for NHHS railroad program
Gov. Dannel P. Malloy and the U.S. Department of Transportation announced the $120.9 million in Federal Railroad Administration funding for Connecticut to advance the New HavenHartford-Springfield Rail Program and Berlin Station is part of the line. The latest funding is the third of three FRA grants for the program. Collectively, the state and
federal government are partnering to invest a total of $365 million, including $141.9 million from the State of Connecticut, along the line to reduce trip times, improve reliability, add capacity, improve safety, and renovate four Amtrak stations in Berlin, Wallingford, Meriden and Hartford. Once the project is complete in 2016, 11 additional

round-trip trains will travel between Hartford and New Haven, for a total of 17 trains traveling the line, compared to six today. The state’s longterm vision for the New Haven to Springfield line calls for operating up to 25 daily round-trips and train speeds are expected to increase from 79 mph to 90 mph. This phase of the project

ditional opportunities stated previously, in order to reach their full potential and pursue their separate interests in the future. Tell voters why you are qualified for the office you seek and what they can expect from you. I know I will bring a different perspective to the Board of Education from my engi-
neering experience in industry. This profession requires an individual to apply math, science and ingenuity to assess and solve problems of varying complexities. Furthermore, I am often faced with situations that require me to adapt and improvise in order to meet strict deadlines for a project. I have determined that inquisitive-

ness and effective communication have been the methodologies most beneficial in solving a majority of the problems faced in my career and life. If elected to the Board of Education, I will use this approach in assessing and solving problems the board is faced with. Lastly, my focus will be on the individual student. Each student who attends our schools has values, interests, talents, and motivations unique to him/her. It is my belief that it is the responsibility of the board and the community to protect and preserve a climate that allows these students to reach their full potential, in order to pursue their separate interests in the future.

According to police, the woman was brought to the first-aid building by members of several fire departments who were near the bull ring during the time of the incident. Berlin Fair President Mark Neumann said the emergency service team of police and fire responded quickly “with great expertise and I’m so proud to know them.” “There were no other serious injuries or accidents at the fair,” Neumann said. “Overall it was a happy and great fair.” This year’s attendee turnout was higher than last year with food booths sold out by the end of the three day extravaganza, according to Neumann. The U.S. food truck, which stores and refrigerates all the food for the festival, ran out of burgers and baked potatoes by Sunday evening and the Berlin Lions Club coffee booth sold over 800 cinnamon buns, a new Berlin Fair delicacy. Neumann said all community vendors reported high success that topped last year. “A lot of the credit goes to the efforts of the volunteers planning and setting up this year’s fair,” he said. “Months and months of hard work paid off.” Although it rained during the nights of the festival, no parking spaces were lost, due to an improved drainage system. Friday’s grand opening enjoyed sunshine with the largest crowd for the weekend. Neumann said he thinks Sunday’s gathering of fairgoers was down because the weather forecast showed clouds, rain and cooler temperatures. Many smaller entertainment acts were successful, with standing room only,
such as Dan LaRosa’s Comedy Hypnotist Show, according to Neumann. “Every performance was packed, and it was funny too, to see people under his spell,” he said. Country singer Craig Campbell’s concert had a turnout of over 2,100 people for Saturday evening, but it was a different story for Diamond Rio. Right as the band was to perform on Sunday it started to rain, causing peo-

Teacher Continued from page 1 course of the last 100 years. “I’m probably not as peppy as I used to be, but I feel pretty much the same way I always have,” Hubert said with a smile, who now resides in a retirement village in Cromwell and was a Berlin resident from 1953 to 1983.
William Howard Taft was president of the United States when Hubert was born on Sept. 26, 1912, in Westbury, N.Y. He looks back on his childhood fondly, “My dad George was an outdoors man who loved to canoe and camp with his three boys at Fire Island, located off the southern shore of Long Island. My

VT, in 1947, where Hubert found a job as an industrial arts teacher. He also became friends with the town’s best known resident, painter Norman Rockwell who painted portraits of Hubert’s two sons. A few years later, looking for career advancement, Hubert wrote to a friend in Connecticut, Russ Ketchum, then head of the Connecticut Department of Education. He was told school officials in Berlin were searching for an industrial arts teacher. Hubert applied, interviewed for the job and was hired. He taught at Berlin High School for 21 years. “We lived on 88 Hudson St., so each morning I would walk over to the high school, then at night, back home again,” he said. “Back then, Berlin was much more of a farming community.” Thanks to his Steinway upright piano that he owned for years (and which his great grandchildren Nate and Anna still have in their possession), Hubert also became known throughout Berlin for his musical talent. He belonged to the Berlin Congregational Church Choir where it “made some beautiful music.” Upon his retirement from BHS in 1973, Hubert took up his “favorite hobby” full time – restoring player pianos. He still has one and plays today. He continues to recane chairs, too. Hubert attributes his longevity – in part at least – to having kept things simple. “I’ve never been one to go in for anything fancy,” he said. There are still one or two things that Hubert would like to accomplish. “I’ve been to Yellowstone National Park, but that’s the only one,” he said. “I’d like to see all the rest of them.”

1933 traveling to Oregon, Idaho and California where he helped build fire towers. “I was paid $1 a day, but it was worth every penny,” he said. “I did have the chance to pan for gold in California, too. I even found about one ounce that was worth $30.” In 1940, with World War II capturing everyone’s attention, Hubert was drafted into the Army. Stationed in Europe, he found himself in Normandy on June 6, 1944 — “D Day.” “The Germans had decided to make one more push,” he said of the fateful battle. “If they hadn’t run out of gas, things might have been very different.” Prior to leaving for the Army, Hubert had married his wife Mary Kate on Dec. 11, 1941, a young lady he had met in 1939. The couple would have four children: Don Jr., twin daughters Alice and Dean and Charles. All were raised in Berlin; Charlie still lives in Kensington. The couple was married for 58 years before Mary Kate passed away in 1999. Returning to the U.S., the Hubert’s settled in Arlington,

mother (Florence) was a singer who had a beautiful voice.” Throughout his life, Hubert has had a number of brushes with people and events that would make history. At the age of 15 he saw Charles Lindberg, the first person to fly solo around the globe. “One day, I packed two sandwiches, skipped school with a couple of my classmates and rode over with them by bicycle to Curtiss Field in New York where Lindberg was practicing takeoffs with The Spirit of St. Louis,” he said. “At one point, he barely cleared the top of the old hanger.” Possessing a love of music, Hubert learned to play the piano early on, and eventually found himself performing in the early 1930s as part of a combo that played the Catskills and “speakeasies.” A few years later, having read about President Franklin Roosevelt’s Civilian Conservation Corps — which put young men to work, during the depression, rebuilding roads and parks throughout the U.S. — Hubert signed up with the “CCC.” He spent

“We are hopeful that the anticipation of the beginning of Phase I will begin in November, perhaps December of this year, with an anticipated completion date of May or June of 2013, with the construction of Phase II starting next summer — if everything aligns,” she said. Also discussed at the meeting was the hiring of Consulting Engineering Services, of Middletown, to conduct a peer review of the mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems, based on the set of construction documents. CES will be hired for $26,000, which will come from project funds. PBC also accepted the recommendation of an advisory committee consisting of two BOE members, two council members and two members of the public to participate in pre PBC meetings with architect and program managers. Mayor Adam Salina said the council wants to appoint members for the advisory committee during its next meeting. “We need to define what the committee will be doing, with the major goal of communication,” Salina said. “I want everyone to know the premise of having this committee together and what kind of information we need to get out to the public.”

There are potential value engineer items, which include an underground storage/fuel tank and a dust/air handling system, that were identified on the last set of design drawings. The construction team did not have enough time to estimate those items before the project went out to bid. According to Simonian, those items can be scaled back, because it includes more environmental features than required. Another feature that was included in the first set of drawings was a budget for winter protection — heating for the interior of the building, while masonry work was done inside. “If all works out well, the site labor and the exterior work would be done in December/January with a three month window for the building to come on site,” Simonian said. “Hopefully, by March/April the weather starts to warm up and we can start doing the interior work without the extra winter protection of heating the building.” Simonian also said sending Phase I out to bid, hopefully for the first week of November, will potentially generate more competitive bids because contractors are less busy during this season than in summer, meaning contrac-
tors will bid lower in order to receive work. Construction drawings are 35 percent complete at this point. According to information provided by Silver Petrucelli and Associates, the drawings are expected to be 100 percent ready for estimate by FIP Construction in early December. Once the documents are completed with cost estimates, the Board of Education and PBC will have time to review the set to make sure the renovation is consistent with program and state needs. Because of the time frame, Smith and PBC recommend more dialogue to go on while the development of the construction drawings is occurring. This allows BOE to see the progress, rather than getting all the drawings at once in December to review and make an opinion on the documents in a short period of time. “Even after we submit the drawings to the state in January, there’s still going to be some changes that the state will have, but obviously we want the drawings to be as complete as possible so they can go to state for approval,” Simonian said. According to Denise McNair, town manager, all parties involved with the project are on the same page at this point.

Commentary
Less bull, more sense needed By Nick Carroll The Berlin Citizen
I’m still trying to wrap my head around the now infamous “bull attack” at the Berlin Lions Fair. You know, the incident which led to a woman being airlifted to Hartford Hospital by Life Star. How on earth was the contest that resulted in this woman’s injuries – the Ring of Fire – allowed to take place? Who thought this would make a good addition to the fair? It boggles the mind. When I heard someone was knocked unconscious by a bull at the fair, I figured an innocent person had strolled too close to a pen, or a bull had escaped. Nope. Here’s what happened:
Several fair-goers, including the aforementioned woman, a 31-year-old named Tina, willingly stepped into a large, enclosed ring with a bull. They shelled out $20 apiece to enter this Ring of Fire, with the hope of turning that investment into a larger cash prize. I’ll explain this later. Anyway, the seven brave – some may say misguided – folks made their way to a white chalk circle at the center of the arena, and as the unfortunately titled song “Wipeout” played over the P.A., a bull was released into the ring. Then, in what should have come as a surprise to exactly no one, the powerful – apparently agitated – animal charged directly at the contestants huddled together in the circle, knocking several
of them down like bowling pins. While those five Ring of Fire participants picked themselves up from the dirt, dazed, the bull turned its attention to the last two people standing. Tina was one of those. Thankfully, this story doesn’t have a tragic conclusion. Tina’s injuries were not reported to be lifethreating. Also, she pocketed the prize money for being the last person standing in the chalk circle. Her take was a 100 bucks. The Ring of Fire was part of the Xtreme Team bull riders’ show. The Xtreme Team has performed at the Berlin Fair the past two years. The Ring of Fire was not part of the show in 2011, however, and I’m guessing there will be no such event going forward at the Berlin Fair.
Now, Berlin Lions do a lot of good. They’re generous, selfless, hard-working people. But, clearly, someone from the Lions should have put the kibosh on the Ring of Fire idea. And if the Lions
didn’t know what the Xtreme Team had planned for the fair, well, why didn’t they? Of all the parties involved in this bizarre ordeal, the bull’s actions make the most sense.

In a week of Berlin-Plainville battles, edge goes to the Redcoats By Nick Carroll The Berlin Citizen The Berlin boys soccer team notched its biggest win of the year Oct. 3, a 2-1 victory over two-time defending Central Connecticut Conference South Division champion Plainville at Scalise Field.

BHS’s Evan Hale clears the ball in a game against Plainville last week. The Redcoats prevailed, 2-1, handing the Blue Devils their first divisional loss of the season.
The Blue Devils often got the best of the Redcoats over the past few seasons, although the matchups were tight. “They’ve been taking it to us,” BHS coach Dave Francalangia conceded. “They’re the conference champions the past two years. I have a lot of respect for (PHS coach) Tim Brown, and what he’s done with the program over there.” Heading into last week’s matchup, Plainville once again sat atop the CCC South standings, undefeated at 6-0. “Our defense was phenomenal; clearing balls left and right,” Francalangia said. “There was a good 15-minute span in the second half when the ball was in our end, and we maintained our composure.” Francalangia highlighted the defensive play of Steve Petrario, who just recently began seeing varsity action. “Every game he’s done a spectacular job,” he said. The coach went on to praise his entire defense, which is anchored by goalie Brian Bostrom. “They’ve kept us in the games,” he said. “We’ve done a very solid job defensively.” Evan Hale and Alex Bednarek scored against Plainville. Mike Giuliani tallied for the Blue Devils. The Redcoats couldn’t keep the momentum going See Edge, next page

BHS makes short work of Weaver, improves to 4-0 By Mark Pukalo Special to The Citizen
The Berlin football team simply had to stay focused and sharp when it visited winless Weaver on Saturday. The Redcoats’ performance in the first quarter answered that question quickly, producing four touchdowns on the way to a 47-0 victory. “The defense played well and our offense executed, which allowed us to get to an early lead,” Berlin coach John Capodice said. “Offensively, we finished our drives and minimized penalties.” Justin Gombotz scored three touchdowns, two rushing and one receiving, and quarterback Mitch Williams passed for three scores for Berlin (4-0), ranked ninth in the state in a recent poll. The Redcoats got things

Kyle Young intercepted a Weaver pass to set up Williams’ scoring strike to Tyler Bouchard and Gombotz capped the first quarter with another touchdown run for a 28-0 lead. Gombotz had 82 yards rushing and Scott McLeod 43 against Weaver (0-4), both in limited action. Gombotz has recorded 421 yards and McLeod 316 rushing through four games behind an experienced offensive line. The duo has combined for 240 more receiving yards and each has scored
eight touchdowns. “They are two good high school backs,” Capodice said. “They make people miss and get yards after contact. They’ve done a great job. Our offensive line has really opened up holes, and they’ve been able to hit them and make positive yards. “I’ve said that we’ll go as far as the offensive line takes us. Those kids have the ability to dominate up front.” Williams was 8-for-12 for 122 yards passing, also connecting with Tyler Undercuffler for a second quarter touchdown, against Weaver. Williams has nine TD passes and no interSee Football, page 25

Coats’ Notes
Berlin runners sweep, improve to 5-1 ers as the Lady Redcoats easily handled Bristol Eastern and Platt. “Our top seven have remained consistent all year and have been working extremely hard,” said Soucy, who highlighted the race Taylor Lupini turned in against Bristol Eastern and Platt. Lupini finished fourth. Soucy also liked the race work of Lindsey Stefens and Kristen Stack. “After two miles there was a group of five — four Berlin runners and one Bristol East — that were in the lead. We decided it would be better to just let the East runner go and play it conservative to avoid injuries all together,” Soucy explained. “We have some big races coming up and the girls are really concentrating on those.” The BHS harriers capped the week at the Wickham Invitational. The Lady Redcoats placed ninth in the championship race. The Berlin boys were ninth in the unseeded field.

on the Berlin team, not on us. And (we) did an excellent job. Every single girl who stepped on the field did her best. That’s the reason we did good.” On paper, Berlin was a heavy favorite. The Lady Redcoats headed into the matchup with a record of 5-11. Meanwhile, Plainville owned an unspectacular mark of 2-5. On top of that, Wrona points out that Berlin is much more of a ‘soccer town’ than is Plainville. “I think all of them play Premier soccer,” the veteran coach said of the Lady Redcoats. “In Plainville, we really don’t have players playing Premier soccer; maybe a couple of them. That’s a big difference.”

in their next outing, as they fell to Conard, 1-0, to drop to a 4-3-1. Plainville too ended the week on a down note; losing to Simsbury, 3-1. The Blue Devils fell to 6-3. *** In girls soccer, Berlin and Plainville battled to a 0-0 stalemate at Scalise Field Oct. 3. The old foes tied in 2011 as well. “This year we went to Berlin playing very good teams. Those were good games, tough games,” PHS coach Leszek Wrona said, pointing out that his troops lost a string of one-goal decisions recently. “I knew going to Berlin we’d be ready to play.

The cross country teams improved to 5-1 with a sweep of Bristol Eastern and Platt. James Dwyer and Brendan McLarty surpassed a Platt harrier in the final mile to give the Berlin boys a one-two finish. The course, at Hubbard Park in Meriden, was rainsoaked, as were the runners. “I told them that with the conditions the way they were, that if they were going to go after the win they had to make their move before the course went onto the slippery grass surface,” BHS coach Steve Soucy said, referring to Dwyer and McLarty. “They utilized the roads and were able to take the lead and hold it all the way in. Berlin’s top five was rounded out by Matt Kall, Lawrence Betterini and Sam Papacoda. “We were able to hold our pack together throughout the race, and the boys just wore down the other two teams,” said Soucy.

Golf Fitness Corner
The game plan for this winter? Stay sharp By Eric Lunt Special to The Citizen
It’s hard for New England golfers to stay sharp year round. Fall means the end of an enjoyable golf season is near. And it is inLunt evitable, once you stop playing at the same frequency you lose a bit of your edge. Golf is such a skill sport that requires constant repetition to stimulate your brain’s motor sensory system. I am sure all of you golfers who saw improvement this year do not want to lose what you gained. That is why you cannot go into complete shut-down mode during the
winter; your body will revert back to old habits within less than two weeks of no sport-specific stimulation. An example of this is the golfer who plays four, five times a week, hangs up the clubs for the winter and expects to pick right up where they left off in the spring. If you are a young golfer who switches sports this time of season to either football, basketball or something else, and golf is your primary sport, you especially need to be doing something golf related. Working on your jump shot will not help your golf game. Period. People need to realize in athletics today everything is specialized to your sport, from skill training to performance training. There are few overlapping sports, such as tennis, hockey and
The biggest thing is to still swing a club. Skill training is still the most important and the first one to go. It doesn’t have to be a lot, 10 to 15 minutes out of your day in your home or office just making swings and treating it like a practice session. If you don’t have the headspace, find something half the size of a club. I don’t care what you use, as long as you swing something, and focus, instead of making mindless swings. Focus on a specific swing flaw you have, and any corrective drills you may have been given to fix

it. How often should you do this? I would recommend doing it at least the same number of times you would play in a given week. Also, you should obviously be taking advantage of heated driving ranges whenever you can. Or, if you are one of the lucky few to have a large enough garage to fit and set up a golf net, then you are set all winter long.

golf, as far as the movement patterns complimenting one another and translating into improvement in one another. If you are looking to keep your skill and fitness gains leading into the off-season here are some things that I recommend. First, take a minute and write down a summary of your golf season. What were your strengths and weaknesses? If you already have a list like this and had been getting golf lessons, write down the areas that you have improved the most on — putting, driving accuracy, chipping, ball striking, driver distance, etc. Maybe touch base with your swing coach for an end-of-season lesson or recommendations on drills that could help you in the off season.

ceptions this season. “[Williams] does a terrific job,” Capodice said. “He’s intelligent, he understands our system, schemes and makes good decisions.” Kevin Main and Eric Garcia also had second-half touchdown runs for the Redcoats on Saturday. Berlin has turned the ball over just once this season and caused 13 on defense – seven interceptions and six fumble recoveries. Safety Mike Pomian leads the Redcoats in tackles with 29, but nine others have at least 10. “We try to run to the football and get 11 hats to the
ball,” Capodice said. “Good things happen when you get there.” Berlin, averaging 8.25 points against, will have to get another strong effort when it visits Northwest Catholic on Saturday night at 7 p.m. Northwest Catholic has won three of games, losing only to Bloomfield 7-6. The Indians have allowed just 13 points combined their last three games and talented allpurpose running back Nick Gaynor, a returning all-state player, must be contained. “[Northwest] has done a good job on the defensive side of the ball,” Capodice said. “They have good athletes that will cause problems, and it should be a very competitive game.”

Edge Continued from page 22 Berlin outshot Plainville by a wide margin in last week’s scoreless affair, but Wrona said the shots Blue Devil goalie Julianna Christy (20 saves) was peppered with were not always bullets. “I made the comment that my grandmother could make the save on those balls,” the veteran coach joked. Lady Redcoat keeper Michaela Dehm stopped the two shots she faced that evening. In overtime, Plainville’s Megan Cameron blasted a shot off the post. Berlin wrapped up the week with a 1-0 loss to Northwest Catholic, while Plainville fell hard to Simsbury, 4-0. *** In a rare occurrence, last fall the Plainville volleyball team got the best of Berlin twice. That won’t happen this season. In their first meeting of
2012, The Lady Redcoats swept the host Lady Blue Devils, 3-0, Oct. 1 at Wood Gymnasium. Speaking of Steve Compson and his PHS spikers, BHS volleyball coach Bob Tarigo said: “Steve does a great job with his girls. Last year they beat us twice, and the second win was a five-game series at their place. (Last week’s match) had nothing to do with revenge, believe me. It’s just that our girls this year had a little more fire power than his girls. But as a coach, he does a great, great job with the girls that he has.” Tarigo said Berlin has displayed more of a team effort lately, with good production coming from his reserves.
“We’re passing well, and playing well as a team right now. Hopefully we can continue to go with that.” The longtime coach likes what he has seen from Kristina Hagmeier. “She has stepped up a lot,” Tarigo said of the senior libero. “She’s doing a great job the last three or four games. She’s much more aggressive back there, and she’s helping out tremendously.” The Lady Redcoats went on to knock off Middletown, 3-0, and Windsor, 3-0, to bump their record to 6-3. Plainville defeated Bulkeley, 3-0, but fell to Wethersfield, 3-0, in its next outing to drop to 2-7.
Youth Sports Soccer U-13 girls Berlin 2, Fairfield 0: Berlin advanced to the State Cup’s Sweet 16 with the win. Nikki and Lexi each had a goal and an assist against Fairfield. Berlin’s defense was anchored by Hannah, Courtney, Cara and goalie Alexia.

Leaf collection The Berlin Public Works Department has scheduled curbside leaf collection for the weeks of Oct. 29 through Nov. 2, Nov. 12 through 16, and Nov. 26 through 30. Leaves must be put in biodegradable brown paper bags and left at the curb on regular trash day during the specified week. Trash barrels or other containers may also be used. Purchased leaf bags and alternate leaf containers must be clearly marked. Plastic bags are not permitted. Keep leaf bags and leaf containers away from the automated trash container. Grass clippings, yard waste and twigs cannot be mixed with leaves. Do not rake leaves into the gutter. This is a violation of the anti-litter ordinance, and subject to a fine. Residents may dispose of leaves at 19 Town Farm Lane (off Massirio drive), Monday through Friday, from 7:15 a.m. to 3:15 p.m.; Saturdays through Oct. 13, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., and Saturday, Oct. 20 through Nov. 24, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. All bags and containers must be emptied and removed from the drop-off area. The drop-off area will be closed Monday, Nov. 12, in observance of Veterans Day, Thursday, Nov. 22, and Friday, Nov. 23, in observance of Thanksgiving.
Feed My Starving Children Feed My Starving Children has scheduled a mobile pack event for Nov. 1 through 3, in Berlin. The goal for this year’s effort is to pack over 278,000 meals for hungry children. Donations are needed to help reach this goal. FMSC produces nutritious meals designed to restore malnourished children to full health. Volunteers hand-pack the meals, which are then shipped to missions and humanitarian agencies in 70 countries around the world. In the past, more than 80 million meals have been distributed to families in Haiti, Kenya, Nicaragua, Swaziland and other developing nations. Each meal costs 22 cents to produce; and 92 percent of all donations directly support the food program. FMSC receives no government aid. For more information, to make a donation and to volunteer, call (860) 798-9825 or visit CentralCT-FMSCmobilepack.org.
