Town offers seniors an incentive to retire By Monica Szakacs The Berlin Citizen
The Town of Berlin has sent offers to 24 seniors for a voluntary retirement program meant to provide additional incentive for someone who is thinking about retiring. According to the buy-out requirements, a person must be 55 years or older, and the combination of age plus years of service must total 90 points. Theoretically, this means if a person is 55-
years-old, they must worked a minimum of 35 years for the town of Berlin. Town Manager Denise McNair said qualified recipients offered the incentive had until Oct. 18 to let their supervisor and McNair know they want to take advantage of the buyout retirement program. If a senior chooses to accept the incentive, he or she will receive a lump sum of $10,000. McNair will then help determine an appropriate date for retirement between Nov. 1 and Dec. 31, of this year.

Youth create BMX track in town
“I don’t think anyone will retire just based on this,” McNair said. “If they are ready to retire, or they have been thinking of retiring, this may be the impetuous they have to make the decision, so that was part of the thinking process.” The buy-out was proposed by town officials for a combination of reasons. McNair said in the past several years she has received reports about senior citizens near reSee Town, page 15
By Monica Szakacs The Berlin Citizen The Berlin Police Department stumbled upon a makeshift BMX track in the woods off the Chamberlin Highway, when investigating a noise complaint recently. When Town Manager Denise McNair heard of the track, supposedly created by youth with shovels and rakes, she asked the Parks and Recreation Com-
mission to take action. “The town manager wants it leveled because it becomes a potential liability for the town,” Leonard Zielinski, chairman, said during a Parks and Recreation meeting Oct. 11. Zielinski said, according to the town ordinance, people are only allowed to walk and use bicycles on approved paths and areas. But most members See BMX, page 11
McGee Milers run for Ryan T. Lee foundation By Monica Szakacs The Berlin Citizen
The McGee Milers participated in the Hartford Marathon Oct. 13, for their 15th year in a row. The Milers raised money for the Ryan T. Lee Memorial Foundation. Lee was an athlete and graduate from Berlin High School and a freshman at Long Island University before his life tragically ended by a car accident. Lee was also a former McGee Miler. Following in her brother’s footsteps, Amanda Lee is now an eighth grade Miler as well.
Over the years, the team has raised over $75,000 for charities. Bryan Plona, physical education teacher, formed the McGee Milers 15 years ago when he decided to run in the Hartford Marathon before he turned 30. Plona said he knew he could not run it alone. “I wanted kids involved so I couldn’t back out,” he said. “I came up with this idea that middle school kids would run a mile each, in relay style, and I would run the whole 26 miles.” See Run, page 26

Berlin residents should be careful not to leave valuables in their vehicles parked outside at night, according to the Berlin Police Department. There has been a recent rash of car breaks into both locked and unlocked vehicles in Berlin and throughout the region. The Berlin break-ins have occurred predominantly in the west side of town during the overnight hours. Break–ins have also occurred in other areas of town. The police suggest that it is best not to leave any valuables inside parked vehicle and never leave them in plain view. Residents are asked to call the Berlin Police Department at (860) 828-7086 if they observe anything suspicious.

It is required by the state’s Youth Services Grant, which Berlin and other towns in Connecticut get from the state Department of Education, that a Youth Service Advisory Board comprises representation from various stakeholders. This includes a police representative, a private nonprofit representative, a school representative, a youth representative and
adult members of the community who are not representing any particular contingency other than themselves. These citizens are called adult service consumers by regulation, but they do not have to be a parent. According to Douglas Truitt, Youth Services director, currentl, the board is in transition with new and resigning members. Its youth rep. has gone off to college, so the position is currently open to interested teenagers. The police department has also appointed a new juvenile detective last month. Traditionally, the juvenile detective is the position that sits on the board. The youth rep. seat is a paid secretary position, in which he or she records the

For quite some time, Debbie Dennis, Parks and Recreation assistant director, said she has been receiving reports about groups using athletic fields without scheduling with the department. “I don’t know how we can really stop that with an open field, which you don’t need a key to get in, without having someone driving around seven days a week patrolling,” she said. According to Dennis, it is protocol that individuals and organizations have to come into the department and sign a paper to receive a permit allowing use of a specific field at a designated time. During a Parks and Recreation meeting Oct. 11, commission member Don Dellaquila inquired about the responsibility of a commission member if he or she
sees people using a field for a particular sport for which the field was not developed. “Is it our responsibility to go in and tell them that they can’t use the field?” he asked. Leonard Zielinski, chairman, said fields are open to the public unless someone has a reservation for a specific time, in which the people without permission must leave. If someone is using a field where no permit is necessary, then the rule is first come, first served. For example, Dennehy Field is an allpurpose field where “many fathers practice pitching and batting with their kids” and no authorization is require, Dellaquila said. If a town official does see a group using a field inappropriately, such as playing volleyball on a soccer field, Zielinski recommends the official suggest an appropriate field for the group’s activity. But the question of liability arises when someone gets
distribute field usage a little more fairly,” she said. “We really don’t have the time to call people and ask if they are really using the field because we have other groups that would like to use it. It would be better if we can accommodate more people.”

The different types The potential risk of each different form of cholesterol is still debated. HDL is known as “Good” cholesterol, but an elevated HDL does not necessarily protect against heart disease, especially if one has a family history. It is presently believed higher HDL levels may reduce one’s risk of heart disease.

LDL has been traditionally regarded as the “bad” cholesterol, but once again, family history, triglyceride levels and other forms of cholesterol can also affect one’s risk. Experts agree that reducing one’s LDL level may reduce the risk of heart disease.

Berlin teenager takes ‘Voyage of Discovery’
Berlin teenager Nathan Gimpl, a student at Goodwin College’s Connecticut River Academy in East Hartford, is aboard for the trip of a lifetime as a crew member on the tall ship Half Moon. The ship — a sailing museum replica of Henry Hud-
son’s 1609 vessel — left from Athens, N.Y., Oct. 10. In less than two weeks, it will dock at Goodwin College’s deep water dock for an extended stay. Gimpl is taking part in the first leg of the “Voyage of Discovery.” Each student
will assume duties aboard the ship and will spend their days aboard conducting experiments on the Hudson River and Long Island Sound. Students like Gimpl will act as real sailors, climbing, rigging and taking commands from Captain
Homecoming Sunday
William “Chip” Reynolds. Three Connecticut River Academy teachers will also take part in the initial part of the trip. The first leg of the journey extends from Athens down the Hudson, sailing into New York Harbor. The students will sail aboard the Half Moon as it comes in sight of the Statue of Liberty and passes through the shadow of the financial district, en route to Long Island Sound. Several stops are planned along the way, with students and crew sleeping aboard the ship.
The Half Moon docked at Long Wharf in New Haven, Oct. 15, where the student crew members reunited with their families. A second crew of students and teachers will board the ship on Oct. 18, and sail up the Connecticut River to East Hartford. This is the fifth year that Goodwin College has welcomed the Half Moon to campus. Upon arriving in East Hartford Tuesday, Oct. 23, Gimpl will join the rest of both student crews for a ceremony.

agreed that youth who maintain the BMX trail are just playing in public woods. The commission voted to take no action against the track until further notice. Before the meeting, Zielinski sent Parks and Recreation members photos of the path. During discussion of the track, members shouted out “incredible,” “absolutely gorgeous” and “amazing.” Don Dellaquila, commission member, said the town should leave the youth alone because “they’re not hurting anybody,” since the track is rumored to be at least five
years old and this is the first time the issue has come up in discussion with town officials. Charles Warner, commission member, said he does not understand what action the town would take on the issue. “What are we going to do? Charge them?” Warner asked. “What’s next, are we going to tell kids they can’t ride their bikes in a town park?” Parks and Recreation member Steve Hinchliffe said if the town did level the track, it would only be a matter of time until it is recreated.

someone finds out, it becomes a matter of discussion because of liability.” One outcome of the BMX track is the town might have to pay higher insurance on the property now that the track is publicly known, but Salina said the next step is

ceives a report from Parks and Recreation she will meet with the town’s corporate and insurance counsels.

Scarecrows have taken up residency on Farmington Avenue until Oct. 30. Families, fellow townspeople, organizations and businesses created their own unique scarecrows to participate in the eighth Annual Scarecrow and Fall Foliage Festival. After the opening ceremony, families and children participated in arts and crafts and painted pumpkins purple for epilepsy awareness. Scarecrows were judged by fellow townspeople on the use of materials, creativity, construction and theme. All Scarecrows had to be stuffed in some way and “scary” scarecrows were permitted, but no violent items or themes were allowed. There are two age divisions (adult and children) with first, second and third place awards. The grand prize is the Title of Berlin’s Best Scarecrow. According to Terri Noyes, Parks and recreation secretary, most of the winners donate their prize money to charity, whether it is UpBeat, Food Pantry or Holiday Assistance.

tirement looking for an incentive. “I’m sure they were thinking more along the lines of medical benefits post retirement, or maybe an additional amount of money to help pay for medical costs,” she said. Various companies and municipalities have held programs where employees are offered a fixed amount of money to retire. For example, two week’s pay for every year the retiree has worked for their employer. “There are a lot of people over the age of 65 who are still working, and that’s obviously for a variety of reasons,” McNair said, “but if one of the reasons is that they would appreciate a little bit of money so they can use it toward their medical, because if you’re 65 you would be eligible for Medicare, or perhaps use the money to buy a supplemental plan, or even
We welcome these physicians to the hospital
go on a cruise, because the money can be used in any way they wish, then an incentive is a good idea.” Another reason for the buy-out is to reduce town staff. When a person retires or finds employment elsewhere, the town evaluates the position to see if it needs to be replaced and if not, if it can be reorganized. “It’s an opportunity for the town to look at whether or not each position is as effective or efficient as possible, so it’s kind of an effort to kill two birds with one stone,” McNair said. According to Mayor Adam Salina, one reason the council voted for the incentive, is because it gives a chance for a position to be offered at a lower rate, which will help to reorganize a department. The proposal was developed by McNair and Financial Director James Wren.

End welfare
To the editor: I am writing this letter on behalf of all the hardworking men and women who wake up early in the morning and get home late at night just to make ends meet. I am writing this letter for the ones who warm up their cars when it’s 10 degrees outside or dashing to their cars when it’s raining cats and dogs. Doing this day after day, watching their paychecks get smaller and smaller, to support the entitled. Let’s breakdown the entitlements, the most abused welfare followed by the new socialist program three years of unemployment checks. The entitled ones fill up four grocery carts to the
working man’s one. The entitled ones get their oil tanks filled cranking the heat so high you see the windows open in January. Or when a working man has to cut off his cable TV to pay other bills, how about the entitled ones donate one of their five satellite TV dishes hanging off their house? People say the working man has decent medical insurance, but must stop at two or three kids while the entitled ones have between five and 10 and are rewarded for it. I don’t know if it’s the health insurance or just having all that energy from not working. O Joy, it’s that time again — frozen turkeys and toy collections. Let’s do something different this year. The entitled ones donate their turkeys and toys to a working family. It’s time to end welfare and unemployment checks for good and force the entitled ones back to work. It’s not going to be easy with the way Washington is being run. The saying
is the working man’s a sucker, but I say it’s better than being a burden on society. Just stand on the sidelines and keep those entitled dreams alive. David Milewski Kensington
Who’s responsible? To the editor: Although I am not a homeowner, I rent in Berlin. I am very confused about the high school renovation delays. After reading Kristen Campanelli’s interview, I discovered that architects misjudged the size of the building. How is that taxpayers’ responsibility? Couldn’t the town sue the architects for not beginning construction and not completing the construction with the cost printed on the contract, as opposed to waiting for more money? Shouldn’t the architects have to “eat” the additional See Letters, next page

Student Voices
The lessons of an internship lasts a lifetime By Monique St. Jarre Special to The Citizen Monique St. Jarre is a Berlin High School graduate and is currently a sophomore at Hamilton College, class of 2015. This past summer, St. Jarre she had an internship at the University of Connecticut, Storrs campus. St. Jarre’s article describing her life changing experience first appeared in the Hamilton College student newspaper, The Spectator, in September. This summer, which started out absurdly ordinary, turned into a life changing experience. My original plan to spend tedious hours making minimum wage at a mini golf place in Berlin was thankfully interrupted when I received a call one early June morning about an internship I had applied for. As I was jolted out of sleep by the words “Hello, I’m calling from the UNESCO Chair & Institute of Comparative Human Rights,” I unknowingly began a journey that would shape me in ways I was not prepared for. My internship took place at the University of Connecticut, where in 2001 the United Nations Edu-
cational, Scientific and Cultural Organization awarded UConn the first UNESCO Chair in Human Rights in the U.S. As I walked into that office the first day, I was unaware of how much I would grow in just one short summer. In my first few days, I not only learned how to make coffee and set up conference calls, but that UConn was part of a network of 52 UNESCO Chairs around the world dedicated to promoting human rights through education, research and international collaboration. I learned people aren’t as intimidating as you expect, and if you give yourself a chance, you just might be surprised at how much you can accomplish. Human rights became, for me, not a fanciful dream, but a practical and believable tool for peace. As an intern in a small office, I had a large part in helping plan an annual conference called the International Leadership Training Programme: A Global Intergenerational Forum. The goal of the forum was to select bright, promising, young human rights leaders from all over the world and bring them to the United States for a 12-day training program. It was my job, See Lessons, next page

Commentary
Weigh this future By Kyle Swartz
There’s a burgeoning problem which could weigh down budgets while worsening people’s health in upcoming decades. According to a recently released national report, if Connecticut trends continue, 46.5 percent of in-state adults — quite alarmingly — will be obese by 2030. Alongside obvious hazards for citizens’ bodily well-being, this likely would cause an uptick in hospital visits and medical treatments needed — raising employee health-insurance expenses for businesses and municipalities already battling financial difficulties. But, according to the annual report by Trust for America’s Health and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, taking proactive measures today can mean a healthier, more fiscally

along with a few others, to undertake the massive challenge of organizing an event such as this. With thousands of little details that needed attending to, as well as 60 participants from every time zone in the world to correspond with, it was more than enough to keep me busy for the summer. The days passed by in a blur of hard work, challenging assignments and stressful deadlines. After two months, I moved to the UConn campus the night before the conference began, not entirely sure what to expect. Though I was excited and admittedly a bit nervous, my head was filled with shuttle transportation schedules, rooming lists, meeting times, endless amounts of details and yetto-be-completed tasks. However, from the minute I walked into my room and met my roommate, a witty and passionate young woman from Lebanon, I realized this conference would have a very different mean-
sound tomorrow. By shedding only 5 percent of their body mass index, obese adults could avoid most medical conditions related to carrying around excessive pounds, like heart disease and diabetes. In turn, as reported in the Connecticut Mirror story of Sept. 19, this could save the state about $7.3 billion in healthcare costs by 2030. Thus, now is the time to begin taking weight loss more seriously. How does a person drop 5 percent? (For a six-foot tall man of 200 pounds, this equates to losing 10 pounds.) Accomplishing this necessitates individuals begin bucking negative developments which helped bring about this predicament. In a down economic period, foods with the least nutritional value have become more affordable, leading
some cash-strapped families to choose monetary savings over health benefits. However, this short-term decision means trouble in years ahead. So if a consumer can afford it, they should spend a little extra at the grocery store and purchase foodstuff that offers better nutrition, an investment in an improved future. Eating smaller meal portions, too, is recommended. As computers come to dominate staff attention at workplaces, and high-definition televisions and video game consoles keep people entertained at home, lifestyles in general have become increasingly sedentary. All this sitting and stillness is not good for the body. If circumstances allow at work, employees should get up and walk around inside or outdoors regularly. In free time, individuals should vis-
ing for me than just work experience. As a person who has never been outside the country, I was amazed to befriend people from every corner of the world. I had always thought of myself as a shy person, but in an experience such as this, where I was in charge of a group of people who looked to me as a leader, there was no room for fear. Within just a few hours, I had stood up and delivered speeches, introduced myself to everyone in the room, and was the go-to person for any and all questions. I barely even recognized myself. The sense of community that surrounded this group so quickly amazed me — here was a group of strangers gathering for a conference, bonding as if they had known each other forever. All it took was a smile, a laugh or genuine interest. I found confidence in myself that had never existed before. I already feel the difference it has made in my life — in socializing with strangers, participating in the classroom and making
professional connections. It’s an experience I am so grateful for and one in which I look forward to continuing every day. Beyond the growth that happened within myself, I found hope and inspiration from the people I met. It’s easy to become bogged down in the cynical news of war, destruction and disaster that surrounds us every day. I was lucky enough to get to meet the other side of the equation. It was incredible to see the real life implementation of human rights initiatives across the globe. Here were young people who were not only actively involved in changing lives, but succeeding in their humanitarian endeavors. Compassion is not a myth — it exists. And it starts in your own “backyard” (as we called it). That’s one of the most important lessons I learned; that the practice of human rights start within ourselves. If just one summer can teach me all of that, I can’t wait to see where my future at Hamilton and beyond will take me.
it parks or simply stroll through nearby neighborhoods. Exercise doesn’t have to be the level of running marathons or scaling mountains to be beneficial. Numerous children, too, face obesity and its risky ramifications. Although new national standards for school lunch nutrition are helpful, education begins at home. Connecticut adults must recognize what can
cause one to become overweight, and strive to reverse course where possible — a brighter future with healthier citizens and lower healthcare costs may just depend on this. Kyle Swartz is editor of The North Haven Citizen and an editorial associate at the Record-Journal, Meriden. This piece originally published in the Record-Journal.

Giovanna Berardozzi opened Kensington Dry Cleaners, fourteen years ago and couldn’t be happier with the support and business she has received from the community. Being able to successfully apply all of her skills as a seamtress and cleaner in her own business has been a dream come true for her, and has given her, her husband, Cirillo, and her daughters, Lina and Sabrina the chance to make many new friends. She named the business Kensington Dry Cleaner because she believes that businesses should take part in promoting a strong, healthy community for our children. You see, Giovanna’s first priority and most demanding job is caring for her husband, five children and three grandchildren. The business is a full service cleaner, and one of the services that Giovanna, Lina and Sabrina are most proud of is their wedding gown restoration process. The gowns are done exclusively by hand at the store. Giovanna acquired her strong tailorong skills from an apprenticeship with a great italian tailoring master when she was a young girl in Abruzzi, Italy. She invites everyone to visit at 314 New Britain Rd. and she would like to thank all of her customers for their support.

Students sign a contract to participate on the team and attend practices before the big race day. All McGee Middle School childrem are welcome to join. During practices, students engage in various activities ranging from soccer to handball. “The idea is to keep moving and stay healthy,” Plona said. “My stress is on being active, not necessarily just running.” The Hartford Marathon sponsors a marathon relay for children called Jeff ’s Running Partners, which is a program for schools to promote fitness and charitable giving.

This time, Berlin gets the best of NWC
Photo by Matt Leidemer
By Ken Lipshez Special to The Citizen The Berlin Wall proved to be the immovable object that shaped the destiny of the crucial game against Northwest Catholic. The powerful, disciplined behemoths that towered over their Northwest counterparts enabled the undefeated Redcoats to control the line of scrimmage. On offense, they consistently provided running backs Justin Gombotz and Scott McLeod the space to churn out strings of first downs and gave quarterback Mitch Williams the time to locate consummate tight end Tyler Bouchard and the wide receivers. On defense, they stymied the Indians’ running game and harassed their two rotating quarterbacks. Yet both Berlin coach John Capodice and Northwest’s Mike Tyler knew the game would be competitive. The advantage up front punctuated by turnovers were too much for the Indians to bear Saturday night as Gom- ry in an interdivisional CCC botz scored two touchdowns clash between 2011 playoff to lead Berlin to a 27-12 victo- teams under the temporary

‘Coats earn tournament ticket By Nick Carroll The Berlin Citizen
The Berlin High School volleyball team emerged from a rugged five-matches-in-11-days stretch recently feeling a bit tired, but very confident. The Lady Redcoats won four of those five, including their eighth of the year, which earned them a spot in the upcoming CIAC Class M state tournament. “This is the quickest we’ve qualified in the last three or four years,” said veteran BHS coach Bob Tarigo, whose troops headed into this week with a solid mark of 8-4.
“We’re kind of where I want to be right now as far as our rankings,” Tarigo continued. “We’re 10th in Class M, which is not bad, and in our league we’re 13th among all 32 CCC teams. We want to finish in the top half.” Berlin helped its cause last week, knocking off East Hartford, 3-2, and Bristol Central, 3-2. The locals dropped the first two games to East Hartford but continued to fight. “I was really pleased with their effort to come back and work as hard as they did,” said Tarigo. “They very easily could have folded after two games. But they didn’t.” In the fifth and deciding game, AliSee Spikers, page 29
season setback last year. The meeting usually offers a competitive matchup, one Berlin sorely needed after winning three of its first four games by 42 points or more. “We’re not going to just come over here and roll over people,” Capodice said. “We had to go on the road, they have the lights on here, there’s a lot of turmoil here. It was good for the kids to come through, play through a lot of adversity and find a way to win.” In addition to gaining 145 yards on 32 carries, Gombotz also threw a 60-yard touchdown pass out of the Wildcat formation in the game’s waning moments and thwarted a Northwest drive with an interception early in the second quarter, just after Berlin scored the game’s first touchdown. But the primary reasons for Berlin’s conquest were twofold – the offensive line pushed smaller but tenacious
Northwest off the ball, and Bouchard was a beacon in a decisive second quarter. Besides his role in the line shoulder-to-shoulder with Mitch Blanchette (6’3, 285 pounds), Chris Meucci (6’0, 250), Hector Rodriguez (6’4, 260), Dante Vasi and Anthony Duong, Bouchard snared a team-best five passes from Williams and stuck two punts inside the Northwest 10. Two of his receptions were on third-and-long. His 43-yard punt on the second snap of the second quarter died on the Northwest 5. It set the tone for an interception by Mike Pomian that he returned for a touchdown on the next play. Bouchard also nailed a 48yarder six minutes later that was downed on the 10, forcing the Indians to run plays from their tight double wing instead of the spread. It was tantamount in preserving the

Harriers turn attention to postseason By Nick Carroll The Berlin Citizen In what Plainville High School cross country coach Shaun Berard called “one of the most exciting dual meets I have ever seen,” the Blue Devils edged visiting Berlin, 24-31, last week. Berard said the meet – the final regular season one for both teams – was even closer than the final score indicates. “Just a few seconds difference on a couple of runners and the score could have gone the other way. It was great to see both teams
working so hard for the win.” The Berlin and Plainville harriers have had several tight meets in recent years, but their latest battle may take the cake. With the first of three miles in the books last week, the Blue Devils were poised to win by 15 points. The Redcoats had other ideas, however, and by the end of Mile 2 had closed the gap to 10 points. But in the end, Plainville would not be denied. “Plainville was strong enough to hold us off and they deserve a lot of credit,” said BHS coach Steve Soucy. See Harriers, page 29

‘Very impressive streak’ comes to an end By Nick Carroll The Berlin Citizen
Well, it had to come to an end eventually. A pretty remarkable streak dating back to 2010 came to a halt recently, as the Berlin High School junior varsity boys soccer team fell to Conard, 2-0. Prior to that loss, the Redcoats had gone 36 straight games without suffering a defeat. As the final seconds ticked away in the Conard matchup, BHS coach Sal
Parafati was quite serene. “I thought to myself that we had a very impressive run,” said Parafati, Connecticut’s Assistant Soccer Coach of the Year in 2010. “When the final whistle blew,” he continued, “I noticed that all of my players had a very distinct look on their faces. It was not a look of sadness or defeat. It was a look of determination. I could tell that they could not wait to play our next game. That says a lot about how much these players care
about this program.” Parafati’s troops rebounded to win their next outing, knocking off Middletown. A new streak had begun. “Going 36 games undefeated is something to be proud of, but I didn’t want it to be an unnecessary pressure on the boys,” said the coach. “Winning is fun, but I think, ultimately, the great accomplishment here is that the boys were competitive, they developed their skills and created some memories that will last a lifetime. I feel
a great sense of pride when I see the JV players move up to the varsity level and continue to do well. The players that were with me when the streak began in 2010 have all moved up and become vital parts of the varsity team’s success.” Varsity head man Dave Francalangia is the direct beneficiary of Parafati’s work. The coaches, lifelong friends, have navigated the BHS boys soccer program for 13 years. “Junior varsity programs
usually don’t get a lot of praise, or get in the paper that often, but this (the streak) is significant. I can’t remember any junior varsity program in our school not surrendering a defeat in 36 games. It’s a pretty big accomplishment,” Francalangia said. “Granted, JV is a different level. But regardless, you still go out there with goals and expectations. And for the past couple of years, especially, Sal’s exceeded those expectations.”
Despite up and down play, BHS qualifies for tourney By Sarah Gomes Special to The Citizen

With the graduation of 16 seniors, for the 2012 B e r l i n girls soccer team, youth would play a key role in achieving its goals. Just past the halfway point of the season, the new-look Redcoats are pleased with where they are. “If you told me heading into the year that we would be 6-3-2 at this point I would take it,” BHS coach Steve Yanosy said. “We are very young in both age and experience; we continue to work on looking for consistency.” The Redcoats have been on a rollercoaster ride this fall; rattling off a five-game win streak at one point, only to go winless in their next three outings. “We had a tough patch mid-season, facing two undefeated teams in Northwest Catholic and Middletown,” Yanosy pointed out. “With this program we strive to — and expect to — be competitive and always perform well. We will never lower our expectations, regardless of our situation.”
Instilling these values falls on the shoulders of senior captains Catherine Voelpel, Bianca Jacques, Shannon Mahoney and Cassidy Goodwin. “They’ve done a fantastic job of teaching the girls both on and off the field what is expected and how each day throughout the season goes,” Yanosy said. “There were 17 incoming freshmen this year and (the captains’) leadership has been superb.” Berlin may be young, but isn’t lacking in skill. “(Talent) is always helpful and these girls have that, but they also have a lot of character and pride when putting on the Berlin uniform,” Yanosy said. That was on display in the Redcoats’ most recent win, a 2-1 decision over Bristol Central Friday. “We went up 1-0, then they came back right away to tie it up,” Yanosy said. “The girls could’ve been on their heels coming out of that, but they fought back and scored the game-winner with two minutes left.” With the Bristol Central win, Berlin qualified for the upcoming state tournament.

Thursday, October 18, 2012 — The Berlin Citizen
Football B team Berlin Bears 14, Bloomfield 12: The Bears jumped out to an early lead to make it an 8-0 game. The drive was capped with a 40-yard pass from Sam Capodice to Pat Ladas. Giancarlo Tufano split the uprights with the point-after. In the fourth, with the score 8-6, the Bears marched down the field and Ladas again punched one in. Bloomfield tallied one more TD, but it wasn’t enough, as the Bears improved to 4-1. Turning in good work on defense for Berlin were Malachi Burby, Dominic Lattarulo, Matt Wojciechowski, Kevin Stafstrom, James Mazzarella, Ladas and Ryan Terlecky. A team Berlin Bears 29, Bloomfield 20: Jack Lynch threw first-half touchdown passes to Nathan Comstock and Mitch Maslowski, and Lynch ran for a first-half score as the Bears opened a lead they would not forfeit. Jack Hamel scored the final Berlin touchdown on a 20-yard run in the second half. Ricky Nappi and Nick Zuk also ran the ball well for the victors, who improved to 3-2. The Bear defense put up a shutout in the second half. Anchoring the defense was Nick Lojko, Danny Labbadia, Matt Stapell, Spencer Duke, J.J. Moss and Steven Bienkowski.

Continued from page 29 “I could really see it going to any of those four teams,” Berard added. “It is just a matter of motivation and guts of those 28 runners.” *** Taking eight of the first 10 places, the visiting Berlin girls got the best of Plainville last week, 15-50, in the regular season finale for both teams. Brittany Sullivan, Taylor Lupini and Kristen Madeia paced the Lady Redcoats, finishing within two seconds of one another. Nicole Grieco,
Nicole Sylvain, Paige Young, Stef Parillo and Lindsay Stefens also ran well for Berlin, which had its sights set on breaking the course record that day. The victors fell a bit short of their goal. “In a race like this it is hard to keep focused, with only one other team to race against, and being out in front by nearly two minutes,” said Soucy. “I was glad the course record was within reach because it gave them something to run towards.” Check us out: www.berlincitizen.com

skirted the left end for a 20yard TD, the Northwest defense was spent. “That’s a big part of Berlin football,” Capodice said. “We try to grind the ball, we have good lineman, eat clock, score and try to play good defense.” Nick Gaynor secured a tipped pass from Mac Crispino at the goal-line with 3:30 to go, but he slipped in the backfield out of the Wildcat on the conversion attempt and Berlin maintained a twopossession edge at 21-12. “He’s cutting on the twopoint conversion and there’s

Football Continued from page 33 a big hole,” Tyler said. “We make that and it’s 21-14 but things happen. If you make the play you win and when you don’t, you don’t. We didn’t, but boy our kids played hard.” Owen Tyler recovered a fumble on the next play from scrimmage at the Berlin 44, but the Redcoats’ defense suffocated the drive without al-
lowing a first down. With 1:27 left, Capodice called a pass out of the Wildcat. Gombotz connected with McLeod for 60 yards and a 15point lead. A two-point conversion try fell short. “Unfortunately we couldn’t stop them, they answered back and things became difficult there,” said Capodice, explaining his end-game strategy. “Fortunately we were able to score one more and finish the game.”
