What property ownersshould know

By Monica SzakacsThe Berlin Citizen

An important natural re-source in the ecosystem iswetlands that purify waterbefore it reaches a water-course, such as a stream or ariver. In the early 1900s,Berlin received the nick-name Great Swamp becauseof the wetlands and water-courses that run throughtown.

Many people today ownproperty that encompassesthese natural resources. Toprotect the environment, thetown has an Inland Wetlandsand Watercourses Commis-sion that implement rules

and regulations in order tomanage these features whenpeople want to build on ornear a watercourse or wet-land.

According to MichaelBalinskas, chairman of thecommission, when residentswant to develop on or nearwetlands and watercourses,they must fill out an applica-tion, go through a hearingand once permission hasbeen granted for the develop-ment, a permit process.

Balinskas said commis-sion members try to informdevelopers that they arestewards of a natural re-

Children dressed in customs including ninjas, superheroes, monsters, witches, bal-lerinas and princesses, for the Parks and Recreation annual Monster Bash and Pumpkindecorating contest, Oct. 19. Children danced to music, watched clowns create balloon an-imals, had their faces painted by volunteers, played ghost bingo and participated in Hal-loween arts and craft.

At the end of the night, random winners were chosen for the costume contests in eachof the following categories: infant to five years, kindergarten and first grade, second andthird grade, and fourth and fifth grade.

Children who carved, painted and ornamented pumpkins before the event also en-tered in the pumpkin decorating contest. Creativity ranged from Hello Kitty to ghosts tocandy corn pumpkins to a fish bowl tank. Categories for the contest included most fright-ening, most amusing and most creative. Everyone who attended the bash had a chance tovote for a favorite pumpkins. More photos inside.

Middle school fire culprit a squirrelBy Monica Szakacs The Berlin Citizen

A squirrel was the causefor a fire that broke out atCatherine McGee MiddleSchool, according to FireMarshal Steve Waznia.

The East Berlin Fire De-partment responded to afire alarm at McGee at 10a.m., Oct. 25. Arriving onscene at 899 Norton Rd.,Waznia said a small firebroke out in the boilerroom due to an electricalmotor failure. A custodianhad extinguished the firebefore emergency personalarrived.

After an investigation,Waznia said the fire wascaused by a squirrel thatshorted a main power line.This caused the building tolose electricity. ConnecticutLight and Power were onscene around 10:30 a.m.

The building was evacu-ated when the fire alarm

went off for safety precau-tions. Once the fire officialsannounced the buildingwas safe to return, studentswere escorted into the audi-torium.

No injuries caused by thefire were reported, butemergency personal with

Hunter Ambulance weretreating a child. Accordingto school officials, the childfelt light headed wheneveryone assembled intothe auditorium.

CL&P restored power by11 a.m. and students weresent back to classes.

Correction In a story in the Oct. 25 edition, “Berlin school district

considers full-day kindergarten,” an incorrect numberwas printed. According to the Connecticut State Depart-ment of Education, 73 school districts, 7 charter schoolsand 11 magnet schools provide full-day kindergarten to allchildren. In addition, 29 districts and one charter schoolprovide full-day kindergarten to some children.


After a fire breaks out in the boiler room of McGeeMiddle School, parents wait at the entrance withtheir children to hear from officials if school will re-sume.

In 1972, he started a sep-tic and drain cleaning compa-ny, with his son GarySchmidt, known as DrainDoctor in Berlin.

“I ended up helping him re-build the first service truck hebought when I was a sopho-more in high school,” GarySchmidt said. “I was with himwhen we went out to clean ourfirst septic tank in Berlin andI’ve been doing it ever since.”

Working alongside his wifeAnnemarie Schmidt, twinsons Ryan and Aaron, 31, andfriend John Shea and his sonMichael, the third generation,family-owned business offerscomprehensive wastewatermanagement services. Thisincludes septic, drain, sewer

and portable toilet cleaning,large diameter pipe cleaningand video inspections.

“We can clean pipes froman inch and a half kitchensink drain to six feet in diam-eter,” he said.

The Connecticut State De-partment of Health recom-mends a septic tank is

“Under Perno’s manage-ment and leadership, Roger’sMarketplace has not only be-come one of the busiest,most successful grocerystores in Connecticut, it hasalso become a staple in theBerlin-New Britain commu-

nity. Roger’s strong relation-ship with local organizations& charities sets his storeapart from the rest” Miller-ick said.

The recognition isone of the signature awardsin the city annually.

Tomasso supports theMayor’s Homeless Employ-ment Initiative, Hospital ofCentral Connecticut’s futureCancer Treatment Centerand the New Britain Muse-um of American Art.

“Michael is a true leaderwithin the community and isdepended upon by many,”Millerick said. “He has dedi-cated countless hours volun-teering and supporting localphilanthropic efforts, inwhich he has been a tremen-dous asset. He is a wonderfuladdition to the legacy of in-dividuals who have beenhonored by the Distin-guished Community Service

Berlin resident starts online business for ‘dirt’Unless someone has ever

worked in the constructionindustry, he or she probablynever really thought muchabout earth materials, betterknown as “dirt.” For contrac-

each listing, with discountsavailable for bulk listings.There are no membershipfees or long-term contracts.

“I have been in the con-struction industry fordecades. I know first-handthe challenges of dealingwith earth materials. I knewthere had to be a better way,”McLarty said. “UsingDirtFinder.com eliminatessome of the time and stressfrom this process, which usu-ally includes a lot of phonecalls, faxing and runningaround.”

health notes:Improve Your Mental and Physical Health: GoOutside in the Sunlightby Scott Healer, PA

Did you know that sunlight reduces one’s risks of osteoporosis and may reduce risks of heart disease and certain cancers? Did you know that sunlight mayhelp protect against insomnia and depression? It’s true.Exposure to sunlight increases your body’s vitamin Dlevel and its beneficial effects.

Benefits of sunlight and vitamin D:Being outdoors in sunlight enhances a sense of well-being, encourages exercise,and reduces mental stress. Increased levels of vitamin D:• Assists with nutrient absorption including calcium (for strong bones)• Helps regulate blood pressure• Supports balanced blood sugar levels• Helps fight depression

If sunlight is beneficial, why don’t people spend more time outside? A fear of getting skin cancer keeps many people from enjoying the benefits ofexposure to sunlight. However, a recent article in US News and World Reportstated: “Given all the upsides of basking at least briefly in the summer sun,many experts now worry that public-health messages warning about skin cancer, have gone overboard in getting people to cover up and seek the shade.”The magazine contacted Robyn Lucas, an epidemiologist at Australian NationalUniversity who led a study published in the February issue of the InternationalJournal of Epidemiology. Her finding: Far more lives are lost to diseases caused bya lack of sunlight than to those caused by too much.

How much exposure to sunlight is needed?The recommended daily allowance (RDA) for people aged one to 70 years is600 IU (international unit) vitamin D, and for those over 70 years, 800 IU. Fair-skinned people receive approximately 10,000 IU from exposure to summer sun for just 10 minutes while wearing shorts and a sleeveless shirt. So, a goodgeneral guideline is just a few minutes a day with legs and arms exposed duringall four seasons of the year is a supplement of 2,000 IU taken by mouth.

In summary, being outdoors benefits your mental well-being and your physicalhealth. Hartford HealthCare Primary Care Network is here to provide not onlyon-going medical care but also simple tips that can improve overall health andquality of life.

source and the commissionalso educates them on how toprotect the land.

One thing people need toknow is land does not need tobe wet to be considered a wet-land. According to Balinskas,only soil types determinewetlands.

“Wetlands are typicallyknown as poorly or verypoorly drained soils,” hesaid, adding that a wetlandcan be dry most of the yearuntil water accumulates inthe area. “A clay type soil is aclassic wetlands’ soil that wehave in our area. So, rain orrunoff water from the prop-erty doesn’t drain very well.The land just holds the waterthat sits ther, and in a lot ofcases the water will evapo-rate.”

There are many differenttypes of wetlands that geolo-gists have identified overtime including swamps,marshes, bogs and fens. Itsprimary roles in the ecosys-tem are flood control, waterpurification and groundwa-ter replenishment.

“Generally, as a rule ofthumb, you just don’t buildon a wetland, although thereare exceptions,” Balinskas

said. “The regulations thatthe Town of Berlin has are inplace to inform people thatwhen they are going to do adevelopment, if they havewetlands on their property,they should really build out-side those wetlands and trynot to impact the ecosystem.”

For example, if wetlandencompasses a five-acre prop-erty, it is unlikely anyonewould ever build on that land.On the other hand, if the five-acre property only had three-acres of wetland, the proper-ty owner could “carve outthat area” by keeping a barri-er between the two-acres andthe wetland.

Balinskas said wetlandsand watercourses are differ-ent from a flood plain wheresomeone can build a house onstilts.

“The whole intent of pro-tecting these natural re-sources is to not go in thereand disturb the soil or habi-tat or the way the hydrologyof the land works to thegreatest extent possible,” hesaid.

But wetlands and water-courses are not always neces-sarily one bulk area. Fromtime to time, there are in-stances where property own-

Septic system failure canresult in contamination ofwater supply wells or nearbywater resources, with bacte-ria that can threaten publichealth and aquatic life.

STATUS: BERLIN HIGH SCHOOL UPDATE

MEMO: $70 Million Budget Back on Track... REALLY?

TO: Fellow Berlin Residents and Taxpayers

To bring our high school to a level necessary for accreditation and forour students’ education, our town approved a plan to spend no morethan $70 million on our high school. Recent reports indicating that the$70 million project is back on track from our Town Council and Boardof Education is disingenuous.

The signature feature of the original referendum approved renovationwas a 25,000 square foot Math and Science building. This was a keyfactor in choosing this high school renovation plan and by mostaccounts provided the deciding votes to move forward. TODAY THEMATH AND SCIENCE ADDITION IS NO LONGER PART OF THEPLAN. In its place is a 13,000 square foot metal TECH ED buildingwhich based on the initial bidding process is significantly over budget.Other items have also been eliminated from the plan you voted forand approved. Why is this not being communicated to Berlin’sresidents?

One of the most disconcerting facts is that in order to create theillusion that the project is still on budget the project contingency hasbeen reduced to an unacceptable level to continue. Financially astuteand responsible management would refuse to go forward with aproject if contingency fees were reduced to this level prior to the startof construction. No contingency means no safety net and potentialunfunded overruns.

The Town Council and Board of Education claim everything is back ontrack and on schedule but the project has been drastically changedand is inadequately funded. Where is the leadership to lead usthrough this crisis?

With the upcoming election, you have the opportunity to make changefor our town. We feel this project has been handled poorly which isdirectly attributed to poor leadership. The Board of Education, underthe leadership of Gary Brochu, is in charge of and responsible for thedesign of the building and the programming of space. He insists hehas no involvement in the cost aspects of the project, yet he added a$400,000 Green House which was never part of the original designand is comfortable with eliminating the contingency. This Novemberwe cannot change the way our Town Council is run but we canchange Board of Education leadership and demand balance in thecommunity and forthright and forthcoming information for the citizensand funders of this project.

Gas saverTo the editor:On a dreary, rainy day

in October, driving onthe Berlin Turnpike, Idiscovered I was runningout of gas. Mile aftermile and no gas stationsin sight, I was sweating itout when I just made it toa gas station. Ready for afill-up, I discovered that Ididn’t have my wallet orcell phone with me. Ithought I’d try my luckby asking for help inside.I explained my plight to alady at the counter andasked if I could use theirphone to call home forassistance. During ourconversation, the manag-er approached the count-er and said: “I’ll set thepump for $10; it’s on me.”I could not believe myears. I thanked the gen-tleman and told him Iwould be back with the

money. He said: “No, youdon’t have to come back.”

Still in disbelief, Ithanked my good Samar-itan, gassed-up and left.Within the hour, I re-turned to the gas station,with the money and anItalian gourmet lunchfor this saintly man thatsaved my day and mynerves. What a wonder-ful world this would be ifthere were more trust-ing, compassionategivers rather than tak-ers. This encounter willbe forever engraved inmemory.

State lawmakers push forU.S. fuel cell incentives

Michael MeliaSpecial to The Citizen

This state is a global cen-ter for fuel cell production.“The statistic is somethinglike one in ten employees in-volved with hydrogen fuelcells works in Connecticut,”recently said Kevin Burns,president of Precision Com-bustion, Inc., a North Havenbusiness specializing inclean energy developmentand manufacturing.

Unsurprisingly, then, twoConnecticut lawmakers arepushing for new tax incen-tives to boost development offuel cells, since the alterna-tive energy has such deeproots in the state and is be-ginning to find more com-mercial applications nation-wide.

In proposing the legisla-

tion in Washington recently,U.S. Rep. John Larson andU.S. Sen. Richard Blumen-thal, both Democrats, saidthe tax credits would helpprotect the U.S. position asan industry world leader.

“American ingenuity andhard work has put us on thecutting edge of fuel cell andhydrogen energy technologyand we should be doingeverything possible to keepus there because it will helpour economy, create goodjobs and reduce our depend-ence on foreign oil,” Larsonsaid, a longtime booster offuel cells.

While the legislationmight face long odds for pas-sage in an election year, in-dustry backers say the callfor stronger incentives willhelp raise awareness as poli-cymakers in Washingtondiscuss how and where tosupport alternative energy.

“I think there is going tobe a broad conversationabout energy policy and taxincentives for differentforms of energy in comingmonths,” said James Warn-er, director of policy at theFuel Cell and Hydrogen En-ergy Association in Wash-ington. “I think they are say-ing clearly this is technology

the United States needs toinvest in.” Fuel cells makeelectricity from chemicalsreactions involving hydro-gen and oxygen, producingonly water vapor as a prod-uct. Stationary units the sizeof trailers are used for heat-ing and cooling systems forbuildings and backup power.Smaller units are used forbuses and recreational vehi-cles, and sporting goodsstores have begun sellingportable fuel cells that canbe used to power electronics.

Total global shipments offuel cell systems increasedfrom 7,000 units to 22,000units between 2008 and 2011,according to a recent reportby the U.S. Department ofEnergy.

Connecticut is home totwo of the largest makers offuel cells, Fuel Cell EnergyInc. in Danbury and UTCPower in South Windsor, adivision of United Technolo-gies Corp., which has said itis looking to sell the fuel cellcompany.

The technology has beenused broadly around thestate for buses and govern-ment buildings, scoring aboost last year when school

buildings with fuel cells keptthe power on during wide-spread storm-related out-ages.

Along with California andNew York, Connecticut is afuel cell leader inside theU.S., partly because of sup-port from government inthose states, said Lisa Jer-ram, a Washington, D.C.,based senior research ana-lyst with Pike Research,which studies markets forclean and renewable energy.

Nationwide, she said theindustry has evolved enough

in recent years that it wouldlikely survive without anygovernment support, but itis still working to bringdown prices.

“It’s still in the earlystages, but companies areproducing products andthose products are being de-ployed outside the U.S.,” shesaid.

Identical versions of theproposed Fuel Cell and Hy-drogen Infrastructure forAmerica Act of 2012 were in-troduced in the Senate byBlumenthal and the Houseby Larson.

It calls for a tiered incen-tive system, with the mostefficient fuel cells using

combined heat and powersystems receiving thelargest tax credits.

The global fuel cell mar-ket is expected to reachroughly $785 million thisyear, according to Pike Re-search. Jerram said Japan isdeveloping a strong domes-tic fuel cell industry, partlyas a result of last year’searthquake and nuclear dis-aster. Other countries invest-ing in the industry includeSouth Korea, Germany andChina.

Deteriorating transitCommentary

By Kyle Swartz Special to The Citizen

Legislators must address deterioratingconditions of mass transit systems inConnecticut and countrywide. Rising gasprices, dovetailed with prolonged econom-ic fluctuation, have led historic numbersof Americans in recent years to use publictransportation on a regular basis. And yet,an unchecked dilapidation of buses,bridges, highways, airports, trolleys, sub-ways and trains potentially has put com-muters at risk while deferring unavoid-able costs to a future date.

For example, according to an Associat-ed Press report, Philadelphia rail linescross corroded steel bridges dating back tothe 19th century. One bridge - 1,000 feetlong and 90 feet aboveground - has disinte-grated to the point that officials may beforced to halt trains from traveling across.If left unaddressed, the unacceptable, poorphysical shape of the overpass could leadto tragedy, a structural collapse. But clo-sure would greatly reduce service to sta-tions on the other side, at a time whenmonetarily troubled individuals mostneed affordable transportation options.Which is why, in Connecticut, legislatorsshould continue support of a high-tech,high-speed rail linking Springfield, Mass.to New Haven. Already, state leaders havesensibly committed over $250 million toupgrade the existing, 62-mile line ownedand operated by Amtrak (itself govern-ment owned) to increase service frequen-cy and speeds. Simply in terms of transit,this valuable project will lessen amountsof drivers on highways - like I-84 and I-91 -creating safer, less-congested arterieswhile also better maintaining the thor-oughfares’ conditions. And regular pas-sengers of the improved trains could ben-

efit from commuting on a faster, cheaperalternative to personal vehicles - particu-larly if gasoline prices continue wallet-busting ascension.

Understandably, some will question thishigh-speed rail’s price tag. Total costs areanticipated at $880 million, a significantfigure for a state still trying to shakedeficit woes. Federal funds should help off-set some of that. And people concernedabout finances should consider the largereconomic picture. Towns and cities whichwill contain stations — like nearbyWallingford — are reasonably expectingtrains, plus an uptick in local commuters,to be catalysts for commercial revitaliza-tion. Thus, money spent here will reap adouble benefit: enhancing public transitwhile simultaneously helping to get mu-nicipal economies back on track.

Many important missions face tomor-row’s lawmakers, from tax reform to con-taining healthcare expenses. Updatingtransportation systems must remainamong these essential undertakings. Per-haps government-backed programs coulddirectly hire, or induce private construc-tion companies to hire, unemployed work-ers to fix crumbling infrastructure, ad-dressing two central American problemsat once.

Furthermore, in today’s ever-partisanpolitical arena, this would seem an issueapproachable through bipartisanship. Weurge leaders at all levels of government tocooperate and approve means of fixingour worsening, potentially unsafe masstransit systems - a necessary expenditurewhich can also help drive economic recov-ery.

In battle of old foes, neither team left satisfied

Big day for BHS harriers at state meetGirls qualify for Open; boys break school record

Berlin High School cross countrycoach Steve Soucy is pleased to re-port that both the boys and the girlsteams accomplished what they setout to do this past weekend.

The Berlin girls finished fourth atthe CIAC Class MM state champi-onship meet held Saturday at Wick-ham Park in Manchester, and be-came the first BHS cross countryteam – boys or girls – to qualify forthe State Open.

Meanwhile, the Berlin boysplaced 10th at the state meet, whilesetting the school record for teamtime.

Speaking of the BHS girls, Soucypointed out “we have had many indi-viduals qualify (for the State Open)over the years, but this marks thefirst time an entire team from Berlinmade the cut. It took all seven run-ners to make it, and they all steppedup to the plate and made it happen.”

Nicole Grieco paced the Lady Red-coats at the Class MM event, finish-ing 21st. She was followed by team-mates Kristen Madeia (28th), Paige

Young (31st), Stef Parillo (33rd),Taylor Lupini (37th), Brittany Sulli-van (40th) and Nicki Sylvain (60th).

The Berlin girls qualified for theState Open by just two points. “So, ifanyone got passed they most likelywould have missed out,” said Soucy.“Many of our girls passed three orfour people in the final 50 meters.We had talked about this type ofrace all year.”

The BHS girls were coming offtheir second straight first-place fin-ish in the South Division at the Cen-tral Connecticut Conference cham-pionships.

“Our team is built around all sev-en runners needing to perform.Many teams start with a low num-ber from one really fast girl and justhope that their fourth and fifth run-ners can finish high enough to keeptheir team score low. Our teamneeds not only our fourth and fifth

runners to do well, but our sixth andseventh runners to push every otherteam back places by finishing sohigh,” Soucy explained.

“The girls really bought into thisphilosophy and it really worked inour favor today (at the Class MMmeet). Our seventh runner finishedbefore many teams’ fourth. I could-n’t be happier for the girls. Theyworked really hard throughout theseason, stayed focused as a team anddeserve the chance to run at theOpen.”

The Berlin boys were shooting fora top 10 finish in Class MM, and theyachieved that, while also breakingthe school record.

The Redcoats clocked a time of1:33:56 at Wickham Park, besting theprevious record of 1:34:19.

“The record meant a lot to the

By Nick CarrollThe Berlin Citizen

The scene on the bus ride fromSage Park to Berlin High School Fri-day night said it all. The Redcoatshad just knocked off Plainville, 34-14, but were in no mood to celebrate.

“I think we have a lot to improveon,” BHS coach John Capodice saidof his undefeated squad. “We got onthe bus after the game, and therewasn’t much talk. That tells me andthe coaches the kids want to do bet-ter.”

Plainville entered the Week 7 tiltwith just one victory. Still, the visit-ing Blue Devils had no intentions ofwaving the proverbial white flag –and they never did.

“We definitely wanted to win thisgame,” said PHS senior Joey Quin-tero, a two-way player. “We feel likewe were ready for this game, and wehad a good shot at beating them. Wewere the underdogs and were readyto pull off the upset.”

For a while at least it looked likethat was a real possibility.

The game was a scoreless tie afterone quarter, and Berlin carried amodest 14-0 lead into halftime.

In the end, however, the Redcoats’

punishing ground game proved toomuch for Plainville to handle.

“We got out to a slow start. Wewere a little flat,” said BHS junior

quarterback Mitch Williams. “Buttowards the end of the first half, andespecially in the second half, we re-ally turned it up.”

Capodice echoed that.“We came out and we wanted to

be aggressive, throw the ball a littlebit, and work on some things,” saidthe coach. “We sputtered early. Butnevertheless, I knew when thingsneeded to get done we could getright to our running game.”

Speaking of his offensive line-men, Capodice added: “We feel pret-ty comfortable with those guyswhen we need to make 10 yards.”

Berlin’s Justin Gombotz and ScottMcLeod rushed for two scoresapiece.

McLeod’s scores came on shortbursts in the second quarter. Gom-botz got his TDs in the third on runsof 42 and 26 yards, as the home teamsurged ahead 28-0.

“We knew exactly what they weregoing to do. If you were here at thisgame, you knew,” Plainville coach

Another ‘exemplary’ class picked for Hall of FameBy Nick Carroll

The Berlin Citizen

In existence just fouryears, it will be some timebefore the Berlin HighSchool Athletic Hall ofFame struggles to piece to-gether a big-name class ofinductees.

Actually, with BHS’s rich

athletic history, that daymay never come.

“We’re still playing catch-up from 77 years of the highschool’s history,” said GeraldSiegal, chairman of the nom-inating committee. “We stillhave a lot of outstanding ath-letes that we’re looking for-ward to going in. And I thinkthis year’s class is another

exemplary class, just like thefirst three.”

Entering the Hall of Famein the spring of 2013 will beBHS athletes Wilfred R. Gui-te (Class of 1938), Charles Vi-gra (1948), Todd Marble(1977), Jon Veneziano (1989),Tony Santoro (1991), JasonMaule (1995), Amanda Rival(1997) and Anthony Reynolds(1999).

Also, BHS baseball coachLeo Veleas will be en-shrined, as will Arthur Pow-ers Sr., in recognition of hiscontributions to sports intown.

The BHS team being high-

lighted in 2013 is the 1986softball squad.

Speaking of the Hall ofFame selection process, Sie-gal said “it takes us aboutfour months to go throughall the nominees. Our nomi-nating committee has two orthree meetings. Then wepresent those to our board atour annual meeting. That’swhen they’re selected andvoted upon.”

Going forward, Siegalwould like to see more poten-tial Hall of Famers broughtto the attention of the nomi-nating committee. “We couldstill use help from the com-

munity with coming up withdeserving nominees,” hesaid. “We do as much as wecan do on our own, but wemight miss somebody. Thereare people living in the com-munity that are aware of de-serving people. If they couldbring those names forwardto us, that would be atremendous help to the Hallof Fame.”

The 2013 Hall of Famebanquet will be held Sunday,April 28 at the Aqua TurfClub in Plantsville. Hall ofFame Class of 2013 biogra-phies will appear in The Citi-zen as that date approaches.

just couldn’t knock themdown. It’s the story of theseason. I thought some ofthese guys played theirhearts out and did a good job,but we have to take advan-tage of situations.”

The Blue Devils didn’t geton the board until the fourthquarter when Quintero took

a pass from Dean DeMartinis59 yards for a score.

After Williams connectedwith Tyler Undercuffler for a17-yard TD, Plainville struckagain, this time on a 20-yardtouchdown reception fromMatt Thomas to DeMartinis.

“They came out and theyplayed hard,” Capodice saidof the Blue Devils. “Whatev-er their record coming in, Iknow last week they playedNorthwest tough. And theycame in here and playedtough against us.”

Williams welcomed thechallenge. “We love playingthese games,” the quarter-back said. “Every guy on theteam loves competition. Wethrive in these kinds of situa-tions.”

With three games remain-ing on their regular seasonslate, the Redcoats are cur-rently second in the CIACClass M playoff picture.

While Berlin dreams ofending the season with astate championship plaque,Plainville’s goal is muchmore modest.

“We want to finish out theseason strong,” said Quin-tero. “We’ve got to keep fight-ing the rest of the season.”
