Town to hire legal counsel to help with high school project By Monica Szakacs The Berlin Citizen
With the high school renovation project over budget, Town Council will hire Attorney Tim Corey from the law firm Hinckley, Allen & Snyder LLP of Hartford, to help advise the town on what to do next. Corporate Counsel Robert Weber said Corey has been through similar “rough waters on projects that’s been over budget in various towns,” such as when Middletown it built a new high school.
“I want to have this guy come in and help us,” said Weber during the meeting, adding that the town is at a crossroad. “We have to decide: do we keep going the way we’re going, do we try and authorize more money with the same plan we have, or as one of the citizens recommended, maybe we don’t renovate— Maybe we scrap it and go back and start with a new statement or meet and say we want to go in a different direction.” See Council, page 7 Photo courtesy of www.facebook.com/Purple.Pumpkin.Project/timeline
Town Council fills open seats Town Council appoints Rachel Rochette as deputy mayor and Margaret Morelli as new member By Monica Szakacs The Berlin Citizen
During the town council meeting Sept. 11, Margaret Morelli took her new seat amongst the council members after being sworn in by Kathryn Wall, town clerk. “It truly is an honor to have this opportunity to serve the town, and I want to thank you and I am looking forward to working with all of you on the council,” said Morelli as Mayor Adam Salina revealed her pre-made nameplate. Morelli was appointed to council by the Democratic Town Committee to replace her husband Stephen Morel-
li, who resigned as deputy mayor to take his appointment as compensation commissioner for the state. Rachel Rochette was nominated by Salina for the position of deputy mayor and was approved by the council during the Rochette meeting. “Rachel and I actually began in public service around the same time,” said Salina. “Rachel originally served on the Board of Education later See Seats, next page
Families around the state have already promised to paint pumpkins purple this fall for epilepsy awareness.
Purple pumpkins come to Berlin By Monica Szakacs The Berlin Citizen A father of a 7-year-old son diagnosed with epilepsy, which is a seizure disorder, is raising awareness in town. Berlin resident Ron LaMontagne will host the first Purple Pumpkin Project event, where families can paint and decorate pumpkins purple for epilepsy and learn about the disease. LaMontagne said the scheduling for the event is to be determined with the Epilepsy Foundation of Connecticut, but he is hoping for Sunday, Oct. 21. “Everybody knows somebody that has a seizure whether they know it or not,” said LaMontagne. “My son had his first seizure three years ago. It’s been pretty much our mission to raise awareness so families will know what to do if their child or someone they see has a seizure. [Ron and his wife] didn’t know anything about seizures and epilepsy when it happened to our son — It came out of the blue.” According to the foundation website,
epilepsy is a medical condition that produces seizures. A person is considered to have epilepsy when he or she has two or more unexplained seizures. A seizure happens when a brief, strong surge of electrical activity affects part or all of the brain. One in 10 people will experience a seizure in his or her lifetime and one in every 26 people will be diagnosed with epilepsy. According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, epilepsy affects 2.2 million Americans. With epilepsy awareness month coming in November, LaMontagne said he asked himself what can his family do to teach people about the disease. LaMontagne thought of the project idea when he was driving around the state with his wife and son and saw a pumpkin patch. “I said, ‘you know everybody carves and decorates pumpkins for Halloween, so since you are doing it anyway, why not color one purple and when people ask why, let

A page from history in a new book by local authors Sponsored and published by the Berlin Historical Society Sallie Caliandri Special to The Citizen
One hundred fifty years ago, America was embroiled in the Civil War. The Berlin Historical Society has been commemorating this anniversary with exhibits at its museum and also at the 2011 Berlin Fair. Last spring the Historic Society began planning on how it could continue this work in 2012. A very special anniversary, Sept. 17, 1862, marks the 150th anniversary of the bat-
tle of Antietam, one of the bloodiest battles of the war, and one in which a number of Berlin men fought. The Sixteenth Connecticut Volunteer Infantry (16th CT CVI) was a regiment some called the hard luck regiment. Most of the Berlin contingent was assigned to Company G. The 16th CT CVI was mustered in Aug. 29, 1862, and three weeks later suffered heavy losses at Antietam. A year and a half later, the entire regiment was cap-
tured at Plymouth, North Carolina. Most soldiers spent the remainder of the war at the notorious Andersonville Prison Camp. Many died there, but a number survived. One of the Historical Society’s treasures is a group of Civil War era letters, most of which were written by Lyman Bulkley Wilcox, a Berlin native who enlisted in the 16th CT CVI at the age of seventeen as a drummer. A group of three writers, Sarah Caliandri, Lisa Ja-

“Field Music: From Antietam to Andersonville, The Civil War letters of Lyman B.

They had connections to the tin industry and other industries. Some fought in the American Revolution. The railroad was in its infancy during Lyman’s childhood, and New Britain was still a section of town. The only method of long distance communication was the letter. Some delightSee Book, page 8

cobs, and Nancy Moran, worked together to learn about Lyman and the people he mentioned in his letters. What they found was almost a Shakespearean tragedy in terms of his life, but also a lesson in love and the importance of family, just as important today as it was in yesteryear. The authors, with the Berlin Historical Society as publisher, decided to share the letters, keeping the spelling and grammar as it was written, focusing on Lyman and his loved ones and providing enough local and Civil War history to put the letters’ events in context. From their combined effort emerged a book entitled:

Berlin Fair attracts new performers By Monica Szakacs The Berlin Citizen
Members of the Berlin Lions Club are excited for the entertainment line-up for this year’s Berlin Fair, Oct. 5-7, and according to Peter Hansen, entertainment superintendent, it might be the best lineup to date. Performing Saturday at 4 p.m. will be the up-and-coming country singer Craig Campbell. “He’s a nationally known country artist,” said Hansen. “People are already talking about him coming. We hear some buzz on the radios and we’re looking forward to hav-
ing him perform at the fair this year.” Opening for Campbell will be the Southern Voice Band. Also booked for the fair is country band Diamond Rio. Hansen said the band is known throughout the country and he considers it to be an accomplishment for The Berlin Lions Club entertainment committee to book the band for Sunday, Oct. 7. Concert-goers do not have to worry about paying a fee for sitting. This year, 750 seats at the concert stage will be free. Hansen said there will be enough seats for the public so people do not have to bring their own lawn chairs.
Attendees should not forget the two local bands that will be performing. Fast Lane will perform Friday and Coconuts will perform Saturday. The two bands play a range of popular music that Hansen said he thinks will entertain all. The Xtreme Team Bullriders is returning to the Berlin Fair for its second year by popular demand, according to Hansen. Bull riding competitions will be held all three days of the fair. “It’s fun to be there up close,” he said. “I’ve watched it on television but, I mean, nothing compares to being there in person seeing the mud flying and seeing the contestants flying off the backs of the bulls.” But the excitement does not stop there. The Berlin Lions Club has booked Mike Steidley, a U.S. national champion mountain bike stunt show performer. According to a news release, Steidley has won every national event he has entered
and just won another 2012 national championship this September. “We never had a mountain bike stunt show before and I think a lot of our youth are excited about that as well,” he said. On Saturday of the fair, Dan LaRosa will perform a comedy hypnotist show where he will engage the audience and possibly make some participants act like a chicken. “He has done a hypnotist show for the Berlin High School graduation party and its all in good fun and he makes people do some crazy things under his hypnotist spell,” he said. “We are looking forward to seeing what happens during his performance.” There are also competitions for everyone from baby contests to blueberry pieeating contests to pig races, turtle races and frog jumping, to tractor pulling. Hansen said some contests attract competitive adults
because of the prizes, such as the adult frog jumping contest. First place winner receives $75, second place $50 and third place $25. And of course, all the rides, games, food and vendors are what make the Berlin Fair unique. Hansen said he hopes for good weather all three days of the Berlin Fair, so everyone who visits can enjoy everything the fair has to offer. “This is an event so important to the community,” said Hansen. “It’s also a fundraiser for many vendors here, like the churches and the boys scout. It also allows the Berlin Lions Club to give back thousands of dollars to the community with the funds that are raised through admissions and food booths at the fair.” For a complete three day entertainment schedule, check back with The Berlin Citizen online or in print Oct. 4, or visit www.ctberlinfair.com.

examples such as when the adult product store, Very Intimate Pleasure, wanted to open up shop in town. Berlin was able to keep the business out with the help of an outside firm. “We had a housing project that was very large that no one was in favor,” said Weber. “We got outside counsel because I felt it was beyond my firm’s capabilities. It cost us some money, but it was money well spent and we got the results the town was happy with. There are times when you have to do that.” Weber offered an analogy for the community and council to better understand why his firm cannot help with the project. “You go to your family doctor and he knows all about your body,” he said. “He can tell you all about the heart, but if he sees a problem he doesn’t operate on your heart. He’d be foolish, even if you said to him look you can save some money if you have your family doctor do this surgery. You got to go to a specialist.”

According to Public Works Director Art Simonian, over the last 10 months the Public Building Commission has been working with architects and construction professionals to develop the design and estimates. In December 2011, due to the initial costs of $70 million being over budget on the proposed 2010 plan, the PBC voted to send it back to Board of Education for programing changes. A new design was then developed by professionals, which included an additional proposed technology education wing on the east side and an additional swing space building next to the school. The construction team (Silver, Petrucelli and Associates, Gilbane and FIP) indicated the town was within budget with valued engineered items already taken out of the original project design. PBC approve the plans and the town received state approval July 2012. The construction team then solicited bids for Aug. 22. “The bids were over budget by approximately $780,000. With that the PBC held a special meeting with all the professionals Aug. 30,” said Simonian. “Each of the three firms was asked if the project
could be completed with the original authorization.” Simonian said the consultants said they are unable to move forward with the project and nothing could be done to appropriate the original budget. Per the Town Charter, the PBC referred the project back to the Town Council. Although Weber and his firm do 98 percent of the town’s legal work behind scenes, he said he does not know the best option for a complicated project that affects the town. Weber recommends a “fresh set of eyes,” with expertise in the area, before a policy decision is made. “It’s worth the week or so of analyzing and getting someone with a different perspective,” he said. “If everything went well and everything was going according to the budget, we wouldn’t be discussing this.” Town Council will hire Corey for no more than $10,000. This will not be the first time the town hired outside counsel to help with legal situations. Weber offered

them know that you are trying to raise seizure awareness,” he said. “Purple is the color of epilepsy awareness.” LaMontagne was contacted by Kris-Ann Race on Facebook because her family is originally from Berlin and she has a 5-year-old son who also battles with epilepsy. “Carving or decorating pumpkins is something almost every family does for Halloween, but turning them purple is something unusual,” Race said. “We hope that by displaying pumpkins that are glowing or painted purple, people will begin to ask questions and learn just how commonplace and life threatening epilepsy is.” LaMontagne said he has received tremendous feedback from the local public and around the country about the Purple Pumpkin Project and he hopes the event will grow every year. “Less than two weeks ago, we were up to 1,070 likes on our Facebook page,” he said. “We have representation from
all 50 states with people promising to decorate pumpkins purple.” The program is not intended to be a fundraiser, but donations are welcome and will be sent to the Epilepsy Foundation of Connecticut. LaMontagne and Race are hope to receive donated pumpkins for the event because they both said they cannot afford pumpkins for every family that shows up to the event. The Berlin Citizen will publish information about the event’s location and time when available. How to help someone who is having a seizure DO: -Keep calm and reassure other people who may be nearby. -Time the seizure with your watch. -Clear the area around the person of anything hard or sharp. -Loosen ties or anything around the neck that may make breathing difficult. -Put something flat and soft, like a folded jacket, under the head.
-Turn him or her gently onto one side. This will help keep the airway clear. -Stay with the person until the seizure ends naturally. -Be friendly and reassuring as consciousness returns. -Offer to call a taxi, friend or relative to help the person get home if he seems confused or unable to get home by himself. DON’T: -Don’t hold the person down or try to stop his movements. -Do not try to force the mouth open with any hard implement or with fingers. A person having a seizure cannot swallow his tongue. Efforts to hold the tongue down can injure teeth or jaw. -Do not attempt to give anything orally. -Do not keep the person lying on their back. -Don’t attempt artificial respiration except in the unlikely event that a person does not start breathing again after the seizure has stopped.

Let’s Talk About Books BHS Summer Reading Event On Monday, Sept. 10, students and staff at Berlin High School along with some visitors, participated in the BHS summer reading cumulative activity, Let’s Talk About Books. Berlin High School students were required to read at least two books of their choice over the summer. This requirement was assessed through their participation in book talks with small groups of students and adults. Students were well prepared and actively engaged in the book discussions. These book discussions were student lead with some preparation done in English classes. The English department has implemented reader’s and writer’s workshops in their classes. This event extended that model to the summer reading program. The feedback from both the adults and students involved was overwhelmingly positive. -Karen Pappas, Berlin High School reading consultant

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 young singer is also trying to build a fan base through social media. Before TMG Productions contacted Zeigler to record an album, her mother bought tickets for the Justin Bieber concert in Tennessee to give away to the person that promotes Ziegler the most on social media. In order to win, people have to like Ziegler’s Facebook page, follow her on twitter, and subscribe to her YouTube page and comment on her videos. “What good is a singing career without fans? If you don’t have fans you are nothing,” said Stacey Ziegler. “We want Faith to go to the next level with her career.”

sons why I started writing songs,” she said. “I saw her Speak Now Tour last summer and she’s such a good performer. I definitely want to be like her if I go on tour and have that presence on stage. My music is a mixture between Taylor Swift and Katy Perry. Very pop with inspirational messages.” One of Ziegler’s mother’s favorite tracks to be recorded is ‘Hey Brown Eyes.’ Stacey Ziegler said it is a song letting people know what her daughter has been through in the past, why her daughter cannot let go and why she needs to, and how the young singer perceives herself in the mirror and how others perceive her. The song will be the second to last track on the album. “I’m thinking this is going to be a hit,” said Stacey Ziegler. “She wrote it at 2 in the morning and we recorded it at 9 in the morning. She can write a song within two hours on any given day. She’s just so creative, and how her mind can just process things and can come up with lyrics and create the music with garage band and her guitar is just amazing.” Ziegler said she used to be the victim of bullying before attending the Greater Hart-
ford Academy of the Arts, and would even be terrified to go to school. “Growing up I’ve always gotten bullied and teased,” Ziegler said. “I could never do anything right, I was terrible at sports, never did my homework.” With the money she earns with her career, Ziegler said she would help different charities and help raise awareness to certain issues, such as bullying. “I just want people to know I’m not just doing this for fame and money or to get my name in magazines. I’m not selfish. I really want to send a message,” she said. “I feel music now-a-days is just brainwashing everyone — just really nasty and inappropriate. I just want to kind of freshen up the music industry with better messages.” Ziegler and her family are
The Berlin Police Department, in cooperation with the Drug Enforcement Agency, has scheduled a “Take Back” initiative to collect expired and unused prescription drugs, for Saturday, Sept. 29 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Residents may drop off unwanted drugs at Town Hall, 240 Kensington Road. The service is free and anonymous; no questions asked. Residents need only drive up the Town Hall driveway to drop the drugs into a curbside box without getting out of their vehicle. The initiative seeks to prevent increased pill abuse, theft and environmental problems. This national initiative sponsored by the DEA will provide an opportunity for the public to surrender pharmaceutical controlled substances and other medications to law enforcement officers for destruction. Unused medicine that is flushed down the drain can result in contamination of groundwater and surface water. For more information, contact Sgt. Thomas Hodolitz at (860) 828-7080.

Flu vaccines provide annual protection and flu strains change regularly, so it is important to get a new flu shot every year.

Politics
To the editor: When I see Chris Murphy, I see Connecticut going the way of California. And I’m not talking about the sunshine! His policies will bankrupt us. Here is a career politician who appears addicted to spending, taxing and bor-
rowing. As government grows, opportunity dies and we have fewer jobs, less growth and vanishing prosperity. After 13 years on the job, Chris has yet to develop a jobs plan but he continues to support higher taxes. Our college students need jobs so they will not flee the state. On the other hand Linda McMahon has built a business, created jobs and seems to have great ideas to revive growth and jobs in our economy beginning with a middle class tax cut. Linda all the way.

Berlin Fair, here I come Monica Szakacs The Berlin Citizen Living in New Britain all my life, I cannot remember ever attending the Berlin Fair, as sad as that might sound since I’m just a Szakacs town over. My parents recently told me that when I was a toddler we went to the Berlin Fair every year as a family. The petting zoo and the rides kept a permanent smile on my face, according to my father. I guess I was too young to remember. Every year I hear about the Berlin Fair on the news and always plan on going, but since the fair is only in town for three days, something al-

ways comes up, such as college for the past five years. It was hard to coordinate a time to go when an essay was due or I had to study for an exam. I do remember going to the Big E. As a former Southington High School vocational agriculture student, I simply love the mix of agriculture, community, vendors and entertainment. The smells of fried dough, Philly cheese steak grinders, popcorn, and yes even livestock, are a welcoming pleasure for me. But guess what folks, I have finally graduated from Southern Connecticut State University and am now the editor for The Berlin Citizen. That means I will be attending the Berlin Fair and will get to remember the fun. I can’t wait to see all the local citizens and children out at the fairgrounds. I am guaranteed to be spotted walking around the tractor barn learning local history, since I know how to operate a tractor, and livestock area. What I am most excited for is the Xtreme Team Bullriders, the new BMX mountain bike stunt show, and of
course, the horse-drawing contest since I am a huge horse lover. If I had the acres, money and time, I would have beautiful horses of my own. I will be at the Berlin Fair on opening day as a reporter, but come Saturday I will be in full enjoyment mode with my family and friends. But of course— as a good reporter—I will have my camera, pen and notebook ready for those special moments like the blueberry pie eating contest, tractor and truck pulling contest and the Nutmeg Kart racing. Let’s not forget the wonderful world of vendors and homemade crafts. From clothes to jewelry, housewares to décor, paintings to collectables, of all colors and wonders, I’m sure to stumble upon many treasures. Needless to say Berlin, this visit to the Berlin Fair is long overdue and I am excited and anticipating the local main event that will mark the end of Connecticut’s Agricultural Fair Season.

Commentary
Are you ready for some politics versus football By Kyle Swartz Special to The Citizen
Which of two national spectacles are more Americans looking forward to? The return of the presidential election - or the return of professional football? Both the election and NFL seasons are multiple months in length, and conclude with momentous, globally viewed events. Even in their early stages they are generating endless news stories, sound clips, blog entries, social-network comments and pundit columns in this Internet age. Curiously, the buzz of each would seem to belong to the other. The 2012 NFL season isn’t empty of politics. Ever since
becoming league commissioner, Roger Goodell has displayed a willingness to make sport-altering decisions. Most famously, he has wielded personnel bans, rule alterations and costly fines to decrease over-aggressive tackles and other forms of violent contact. Commendably, he wants to limit ingame concussions. But many fans and players have understandably protested this softening of a sport popular for, and largely defined by, its toughness. And with more penalties for hard hits, defenses have had to tone down aggressive tactics. The result: offensive numbers spiked up last year to historic levels. Several long-standing offensive
BPD schedules Citizens Police Academy The Berlin Police Department has planned a Citizens Police Academy for high school students, according to Berlin Police Chief Paul Fitzgerald. The high school Citizen’s Police Academy gives the Berlin Police Department another opportunity to positively interact with the community. In the program, a positive relationship is developed through education. By sharing information about how and in what manner the department strives to meet its goals, the student’s suspicions, fears and misconceptions are reduced. Students also have an opportunity to interact with the men and women of the department who are entrusted in securing the citizen’s safety and protecting their property. Each week students of the Citizen’s Police Academy will have an opportunity to learn from a Berlin police officer subjects such as search & seizure, patrol operations, traffic enforcement, juvenile investigations, legal use of force, police training, accident investigation, and use of taser. Officers from specialized units will discuss and demonstrate canine, first responder, DARE, and ATV operations. Students will also be given the opportunity to ride-along with an officer during a shift. The academy is scheduled on Mondays, from Oct. 1 to Nov. 19, from 7 to 9 p.m. at the police department. There is no cost associated with the program and it is open to all high school juniors and seniors who reside in Berlin. Space is limited to 10 applicants and preference will be given to seniors. All classroom materials will be supplied by the Berlin Police Department. For more information, visit the Berlin Police Department website at www.berlinpd.org and download the application. Applications are also available at the Berlin police headquarters. For additional information, contact Officer Paul Germain at (860) 828-6577, ext. 141, pgermain@town.berlin.ct.us or Lt. Chris Ciuci, (860) 828-7085, cciuci@town.berlin.ct.us.
records were surpassed quarterback passing yards and fight end touchdowns by multiple players. If Goodell wanted to remake the game with regulations, he has succeeded. Federal politics in its modern mode of hyper-partisanship increasingly resembles a gridiron field amidst the fourth and final quarter. There is little appreciation for the opposite team. National lawmakers seemingly are interested only in implementing their party’s policies, and would rather no progress than progress through compromise. In this regrettable scenario, nothing is acceptable other than total victory. This vitriolic competitive-
ness has leaked into the ongoing presidential season, which bodes to be among the nastiest ever. In an era of 24hour news cycles and onsite videos uploading directly to YouTube, campaigns feel that they must perpetually attack the opponent across various media channels. This is partly why the 2012 campaign is so full of out-ofcontext quotes being used like all-out blitzes against candidates, who never intended to express whatever offensiveness the misquotes seem to imply. All this needless harshness is what turns so many citizens off of politics. Whether or not people care about politics or football, both seasons’ schedules
are now off and running. And with the omnipresent internet and all its accompanying forms of media, avoiding Obama or Romney or Brady or either Mannings will soon be very difficult - if not impossible. Even insiders and lifelong fans will lament certain aspects about these spectacles, one season possibly for involving too much aggression, the other for not enough. Thus, we wonder: would politics and football benefit by being less like the other? Kyle Swartz is editor of The North Haven Citizen and an editorial associate at the Record-Journal, Meriden.

Memorial Ride
Submitted by Michael Rugens
The 8th annual Peter J. Lavery Memorial Ride took place Sept. 16, at Churchill Park in Newington. Lavery was an officer for five years with the Berlin Police Department. In 1988 he transferred to the Newington Police Department. Lavery was fatally shot on the evening of Dec. 30, 2004, when he responded to a domestic complaint. Every year Lavey’s daughter, Samantha Lavery Grady, rides in the memorial with her husband. The Peter J. Lavery Memorial Scholarship is open to children of Newington police officers and students from Newington High School and Berlin High School. The scholarship is also open to high school students from surrounding towns who will enter the law enforcement or criminal justice fields, and local college students currently enrolled in law enforcement/criminal justice programs.

Coats’ Notes
Hat trick for Bednarek; Rossetto powers spikers By Nick Carroll The Berlin Citizen Alex Bednarek netted three goals, including one blasted in from the top of the box, as the boys soccer team bested East Hartford, 3-0, in a season-opening tilt. The Redcoat defense allowed just four shots on goal. BHS coach Dave Francalangia highlighted the defensive work of Matt Heimlich, Pat Veley, Kris Langevin and Evan Hale. He also praised the play of midfielders Alex and Steve Burns.
Francalangia said the win was a “good start.” Berlin went on to earn a 11 tie with Middletown. Bednarek accounted for the Redcoat goal. The girls soccer team bounced back from a 4-0 loss to Glastonbury in its seasonopener to earn a 2-2 tie against Middletown. Catherine Voelpel and Bianca Jacques scored for the Lady Redcoats. The cross country teams put up a good fight in their season-opener, but in the end, Bristol Central proved a bit too tough. The Berlin
girls were bested 29-30. The boys were edged 25-31. The good news is the Berlin runners shut out Bulkeley that afternoon; 1550. James Dwyer was the first Redcoat across the finish line at the meet. He placed third overall in a time of 19:09. Teammate Brendan McLarty was fourth (19:45). Berlin’s Lawrence Betterini and Matt Kall finished sixth and seventh, respectively. “I was really proud of the boys today,” said BHS coach Steve Soucy. “For the last
few years they have lacked passion for running. The talent was always there, they just didn’t have the motivation. Today they not only put in the work but they really were invested in the race and were not happy with the outcome. I think that will really help them as the season goes along. They will remember that feeling and not want to have it happen again.” Brittany Sullivan paced the Berlin girls. She was third overall (23:28), edging teammate Paige Young (23:47), who was fourth.
The BHS harriers capped the week at the Windham Invitational. Paced by Dwyer (17:57), the boys finished 13th. The girls ran to a fifthplace finish. All seven Lady Redcoats medaled, led by Kristen Madeia and Taylor Lupini. The volleyball team steamrolled Middletown, 3-0, in its season-opener, but BHS coach Bob Tarigo was not overly pleased with the Lady Redcoats’ performance. The locals prevailed 25-16, 25-12, 25-15.

Williams puts on passing clinic as BHS rolls By Ken Lipshez Special to The Citizen The ordeal driven by obligation and dedication begins a short time after the previous season ends. There’s running to do and gym time to put in months before thoughts can turn to donning a helmet and pads. The physical challenges have to
be scheduled around the compulsory responsibilities of fine-tuning the mind in the classroom and perhaps earning some spending money at a part-time job. Once locker space has been earned, the sizzle of summer makes that long-awaited moment of getting the equipment an afterthought. There are sprints to run, intensity to be maintained and a playbook to comprehend. For weeks, the Berlin High football players hit only themselves. They get a few scrimmages where they can finally hit somebody else, but they’re still a far cry from what happens in that first game. All that pent up energy explodes, and outmanned East Catholic paid a 49-6 price Saturday. No, not much of a challenge, but the traditionrich Redcoats, with three straight playoff appearances and seven during coach John Capodice’s eight-year term, don’t make the schedule. “It’s always great to go out and play a game,” said Capodice, who followed his legendary mentor Al Pelligrinelli who guided Berlin grid fortunes for 28 years. “You have anxiety until you get to play in a game that counts. It was great to go out and do things well.” Junior quarterback Mitch Williams did pretty well. With numbers reminiscent of Phil Simms against Denver in the Giants’ first Super Bowl win, Williams rewrote the school’s record book for passing prowess. He went 16-for-18 for 320 Photos by Matt Leidemer

The Berlin Citizen — Thursday, September 20, 2012
No medal, but plenty of memories for Paralympian By Tara Profitt Special to The Citizen
Berlin High School alumna Tara Profitt returned home from competing in the London Paralympics recently. The table tennis player maintained a journal while overseas. The following are excerpts from her writings. The weeks leading up to my August 22nd departure date for the London Paralympics were filled with countless practice hours, various media opportunities and several good luck parties. While not sure what to expect when I arrived in London, I tried to reflect back upon my memories from my Paralympic experience back in 1984 for solace as to what was to come. Unbeknownst to me at the time, I was doing mental preparation for London that there was no way I could have ever imagined in my wildest dreams that the Paralympic Games could have elevated to the level of what I witnessed in London in 2012. My days in London were filled with countless memories that will last a lifetime as detailed in my journal below. On August 22nd my husband, Matt, who was traveling as a staff member for per-
Pictured, front row, from left: The Team USA Paralympic table tennis contingent Tara Profitt, Tahl Leibovitz and Pam Fontaine. Back row, from left: staff member Clyde Profitt, assistant coach Keith Evans and head coach Sean O’Neill. sonal assistance, and I met up with head coach Sean O’Neill and Tahl Leibovitz at Dulles International Airport for our connecting flight over to Heathrow in London. After a three-hour delay at Dulles for a mechanical problem, which I was glad happened on the ground and not in the air, we finally boarded the plane and took off for our seven-hour trek to London.
The arrival in London on August 23rd wound up being three hours later than scheduled due to the delay in Dulles, and that meant Sean, Tahl, Matt and I would not meet up with assistant coach Keith Evans and Pam Fontaine until we arrived at The Paralympic Village. Upon arrival at the village
we were greeted by the news that the whole team will be living in the same four-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment. This led me to believe we better establish team unity and do it quickly before a team member is mysteriously found floating in the Thames River by a London Bobbie!! The team’s third and fourth days in London allowed us time to adjust to the new time zone. We practiced twice a day for a couple hours and got a chance to tour The Paralympic Village and shop at The Westfield Mall. The village has apartments that housed thousands of athletes and officials during the Paralympics. The village also included a few shops, a medical facility, a media area and several leisure facilities for all occupants. The village was designed with 11 residential apartments, which equated to about six blocks built around communal squares and courtyards. On Monday August 27th our morning practice was the only one for the day because our team members met up with all the other members of Team USA in the evening to join in on a
Welcoming Flag Raising Ceremony held in the village. The welcoming ceremony in- s s cluded a dynamic theatre l performance with actors t from the National Youth Theater of Great Britain do- w ing dances and acrobatics to t a medley of songs from the music group Queen. The flag K raising ceremony was attended by members of the M Paralympic Games Organizing Committee and the may- v or of the Paralympic Village, l Eva Loeffler. Ms. Loeffler is t the daughter of the founder m of the Paralympic Games, Ludwig Guttmann. The 2012 a London Paralympics was the t biggest Paralympic Games t ever, featuring 4,280 athletes s from 166 countries competing in 20 different sports. August 28th brought more of the same for now with team practices and video review for matches against our first round opponents. August 28th was a special day for Matt and I as we celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary at the dining hall in the village with hundreds of others. Who could ask for a more romantic celebration!! Matt did arrange to have flowers delivered to our See Paralympian, next page

Notes Continued from page 19
“It sounds good,” Tarigo said, speaking of the lopsided scores. “But we have a lot of work to do. Middletown did not really attack us with a lot of kills or anything.” Leading Berlin at the service line was Giorgia Rossetto, Kailene Rampone and Alicia Maule, each with five aces. The Lady Redcoats converted on 80 of 89 serves. “I’d like to see that get a little better,” said Tarigo, who wants more digs as well. The victors had 24 digs against Middletown. Rossetto and Kristina Hagmeier led the way with six and five, respectively. Rossetto also led the locals

Three other backs had more than 60. “Rocky Hill is like a rivalry game because it’s 15 minutes down the road,” Capodice said. “It’s our first home game of the year, which will be exciting, and they’re a good opponent.” Berlin leads the series with the Terriers, 8-2, and has won three straight in convincing fashion since the 15-8 loss in 2008.
match, which was great. After the tough losses by Pam and I we decided to drown our sorrows at the mall and enjoy a great dinner with my family. August 31st was a tough day for Team USA Paralympic Table Tennis. Pam, Tahl and I all got knocked out of medal contention today in singles. Pam and I played features matches on table 1 this morning. Pam’s opponent was from Croatia and my opponent was from Italy. Pam, Matt, my family and I had a little time to support Team USA sit-volleyball before Tahl played his evening match. Tahl lost a tough match to a player from France and unfortunately this ended Tahl’s play at the London Paralympics because he does not have a team partner for the team event. Pam and I do not play again until the Team Event on Wednesday against France.
Our team match on September 5th against the French is over and Pam and I fought hard but lost. Pam and I are very disappointed in the outcome against France because we really wanted to advance and have the opportunity to play the team from China. For me personally it would have been a chance to avenge the loss of my first round match. We are now Team USA supporters and tourists until we depart early Monday morning. It was an honor to represent the United States in London and while the results were not what the team hoped for I feel very fortunate to have had the opportunity. Table tennis in the U.S. has a lot of catching up to do with the rest of the world to win at this level. Hopefully with the experience the team received in London it will help pave the way for better results in Rio in 2016.
The Paralympic journey in London for me will end tonight at the Closing Ceremonies. The team will dress up again in a different Ralph Lauren outfit and head to Closing Ceremonies. The rumors were true and Coldplay did perform at the Closing Ceremonies along with Rihanna and Jay-Z. The weather has been fabulous the whole time we were here and Sunday night turned out to be the same which made way for an awesome light
show and fireworks display. The Closing Ceremony also included a Handover to Rio 2016 and the extinguishing of the Paralympic Flame which signaled the end of the Games and the end of what turned out to be one of the most memorable experiences of my life so far. Thanks to Matt, Sean, Keith, Tahl, Pam and my family for making the memories even more special. Hope to travel to Rio with all of you in 2016.

apartment in the village on this special day. That was a total shock to me. Still not sure how he arranged that. Day 6 is about to begin. Our racquets went over to the Excel Center with Sean to be tested. All our racquets passed except one of Tahl’s that got re-glued that night by Sean and passed the next day. The team will be watching video of our opponents and strategizing again today. I play the number 1 seed player from China tomorrow at 1 p.m. My opponent was the gold medal winner at the 2008 Paralympics in Beijing for Class 1-2 and I was told this match would be the feature match on table one and would be televised. Talk about the luck of the draw!! The first match for Pam and I on August 30th did not have the outcome we were hoping for. Pam lost a tough match to a player from Korea and I lost in front of about six camera lenses in my face to my Chinese opponent. My family from Seattle who traveled to London to support the team were on hand to watch my first match, waving the U.S. flag and cheering loudly. What an awesome feeling it was to have my family in London to support not only myself but the whole team ... Tahl won his opening round
in kills, compiling 10 of Berlin’s 20. Maule led the victors with 18 assists. “It was a good match for us to play in the fact that it builds up your confidence,” said Tarigo. “I’m very pleased on our progress so far, but we just have to do a lot more work.” The Lady Redcoats capped the week with a 3-2 loss to Bristol Central; 25-19, 23-25, 25-18,15-25, 15-11. “The team played hard, never giving up,” Tarigo said of his troops, who were led by Rossetto’s six aces, 28 kills, 32 serve receptions and 41 digs. Also turning in good for Berlin was Tess Repaci, Gabrielle St. Jarre, Dominika Wejda, Rampone, Maule and Hagmeier.

ON September 2, 2012, a 14week old English Bulldog named Rosie went missing from her front doorstep in the north-end of Cheshire. Rosie has several distinctive marks on her starting with her face. Half of her face is brown and half is white. She also has a ruddy-pink "tear stain" under her left eye. Rosie still needs veterinarian care as she is a young puppy who is now missing a series of shots. Rosie is about 12 lbs and is extremely sweet and good natured. If you see Rosie, please contact the Cheshire Police at 203-2715500. Anonymous tips are welcome. We are offering a reward to anyone with info leading to the safe return of Rosie.

Midstate Medical Center
A terminally ill patient’s sense of isolation is often made worse by the lack of comforting human touch. Muscles may be contracted and stiff. Patients may spend their days immobile in a recliner or bed. Knowledgeable massage therapists and Reiki volunteers offer compassionate touch, relaxation, a sense of well-being and emotional health. For the volunteer, getting to know someone at the end of life is a gift in itself. VITAS Innovative Hospice Care of Connecticut is looking for licensed massage therapists or Reiki practitioners to visit patients in their homes and nursing facilities in southeastern Connecticut. All VITAS volunteers receive orientation in end-of-
life care. VITAS massagetherapy volunteers must have a current massage license. VITAS Reiki volunteers must have a level 1 Reiki certificate. For more infor mation or to volunteer, call VITAS Manager of Volunteer Services Pat Wilson at (860) 494-4600.
