East Berlin blood driveessential
Town weathers Sandy well
Election draws large turnout in Berlin
By Monica Szakacs andJesse Buchanan
With at least 107 deathsacross the East Coast, 8.5million power outages atits peak and shorelinehomes washed away tosea, Hurricane Sandy leftmass destruction fromNorth Carolina to Massa-chusetts Oct. 29 and 30.
Subway stations in NewYork were flooded andmany parts of the famousSea Side Pier in New Jer-sey were destroyed. Ashigh tides and massivesurges rised above theshorelines, many familieswere left homeless.
But in Hartford County,many residents said theyprepared for a storm thathardly made an appear-ance. Mayor Adam Salinasaid Sandy was a “rela-tively quiet storm” inBerlin.
“It’s one of those timeswhere you prepare for theworst and hope for thebest,” he said.
Connecticut Light andPower serves 9,624 resi-dents in town. As of themorning of Oct. 30, only 901
residents, 9 percent, werewithout power, according toCL&P’s outage report.
Salina said most poweroutages were caused by line

While much of CentralConnecticut escaped seriousdamage from HurricaneSandy, the state’s shoreline,New York and New Jerseywere not as fortunate. TheAmerican Red Cross’ Con-necticut chapter will be col-lecting blood in this part ofthe state in the coming weeksand sending it to the hard-hitareas.
Nearly 100 Red Cross blooddrives were canceled asSandy approached. Thosecancellations have led to a
shortage of blood in the re-gion, according to the RedCross website.
The American Red Crosshas scheduled a drive for Fri-day, Nov. 16, from 1:15 to 6:15p.m., at Sacred heart Church,66 Cottage St., East Berlin.For more information and tomake an appointment, call 1-800-REDCROSS (1-800-733-2767). Other locations can befound on the Red Cross web-site, redcross.org.

District 3 voters cast theirballots at Hubbard Schoolin East Berlin. Polling ma-chines received constantuse throughout the dayon Nov. 6.
By Monica SzakacsThe Berlin Citizen
Lines formed outside thedoors of all five voting dis-tricts in Berlin before thepolls opened at 6 a.m., Nov. 6.Lines continued to staysteady as the day pushed for-ward and by 11 a.m., 32 per-cent of registered voters hadcast their ballots, accordingto Charles Warner, Democratregistrar of voters.
“The days leading up toElection Day were just a madhouse here at the office, be-cause everyone wants to voteevery four years,” Warnersaid. “Everybody feelsstrongly about the presiden-tial election and has an opin-ion and want to be heard.”
The morning of ElectionDay, there were 13,562 regis-tered voters. Of that, 5,141are Democrats; 3,168 are Re-publicans; 5,195 are unaffili-ated and 58 are registered asother. The registrar of votersexpected an 80 percent voterturnout by the time the pollsclosed. Warner said he sus-
pects the majority of votersheaded to polling locationseither before or after work.
The registrars order thefull amount of ballots theycould, about 13,000 not in-cluding absentee ballots, be-cause Warner said “we didnot want to run out since weanticipated a large turnout.”
In the past four years, Dis-trict 2 has doubled in regis-tered voters, according toNoreen Little, poll moderator.
“The line continues to go
all the way to the entrance.Before 6 a.m., there was aline out the door into theparking lot,” she said. “By 11a.m., 1,044 residents came tovote out of 3,350 registeredvoters.”
Pam Pethigal, poll moder-ator for District 3, said shewas pleased with theturnout.
“This is the way it shouldbe - very steady all day,”Pethigal said. “We need peo-
ple to care about their stateand country.”
Many voters in Berlin saidthe issues of economy andjob creation were the deter-mining factors in how theyvoted. Susan Winas, District3 voter, said there needs to bea higher rate of jobs createdin the United States.
“There are just too manyunemployed people for fartoo long,” she said. “I think

A look at Berlin’s history: the formationBy Monica SzakacsThe Berlin Citizen
Before European settle-ment, Native Americansfrom various tribes includ-ing The Tunxis, Quinnipi-acs, Wangunks, and Mat-tabesetts, hunted and fishedin territories that are nowpart of the town. The nativescalled it Pagonischaumis-chaug, which means WhiteOak Place.
Travels and settlers of Eu-ropean descent acquiredland on these territoriesthroughout the 17th century.But according to Berlin His-torical Society records, theactual settlement of thetown began with RichardSeymour and 14 familieswho traveled from Farming-ton by following an Indianfootpath south to the Mat-tabesett River where theyknew of fertile land in 1686.What is now Christian Lanewas then known as TheGreat Swamp Village, whichdeveloped as they builtdwellings, a stockade andfort.
Sallie Caliandri, BerlinHistorical Society board ofdirectors’ member, said thearea was named GreatSwamp because of the manywaterways, ponds and lakes,and clay in the soil left be-
hind when the glaciers melt-ed from the ice age made theland swamp like.
In 1712, the families of theGreat Swamp Society elimi-nated a long walk, abouteight miles, to the Farming-ton Congregational by build-ing their own minister andmeetinghouse, with permis-sion from Connecticut Gen-eral Assembly, called theKensington CongregationalChurch. The first meeting-house, built on the corner ofChristian Lane and DemingRoad, was used for gather-ings, church services andtown meetings.
Lorraine Stub, HistoricalSociety secretary, said in ear-ly 18th century church serv-ice and town meeting atten-dance was mandatory.
“Anything that was hap-pening was happening at theKensington Church meeting-house,” Stub said. “But aspopulation increased, thetown outgrew the meeting-house, so they built a newKensington Church, with thetimber from the originalstructure, on what is now thenortheast corner of PorterPass and Farmington Av-enue.”
Since there were peoplecoming from New Britain,Kensington and Worthing-ton, townspeople wanted to
have separate parishes,which created a split in thechurch. New Britain decidedto form its own parish in1754.
“Twenty years later, Col.John Worthington mediatedthe debate on where theKensington parishes wouldbe built,” Stub said. “The
timber was again reused anddivided. Half went to buildthe Worthington meeting-house and the rest went tothe Kensington Congrega-tional Church on PercivalAvenue. The original struc-tures for the two 18th centu-

According to the Berlin Historical District, WilliamBrandegee built this public building. Originally it wasused for entertainment for the town. Later The BerlinPlayhouse, a local repertory group, used its stage. Thetown acquired the building in 1907 and it served astown hall until 1974.

Some residents kept theirvotes a secret, but others hadno problem stating who theychose and why.
“I hate Obama, that’s whatbrought me out to vote today,and I felt good when I filledout my ballot,” Frank Riverssaid. “I’m not confident that
Romney will win, but I’mhopeful. Our jobs as citizensare to vote and have faith.”
Rivers’ 7-year-old sonMitchell, who was with himat the District 2 American Le-gion Hall polling station, saidwhen he turns 18 he will vote,too.
Daniel Misteri, 62, said itwas his first time voting andhe had marked it mandatoryon his schedule this year.
“I have been out of work fora year and I am so sick of whatRepublicans did to this coun-try, especially after Bush cameinto office,” he said. “Thecountry has just fallen apart.
Why would anyone who wantsthe economy to grow vote forRomney when he sent jobsoverseas to China?”
Voter Joe Forsyth said thecurrent state of the economyis not acceptable and as faras state elections go, he wasnot satisfied with any of thecandidates’ campaigns andarguments.
“The days and monthsleading up to this day wastough, especially with the
U.S. Senate campaigns. Thedebate was a disaster,” hesaid. “Both candidates couldnot come up with substantialarguments. Being a smallbusiness owner, I voted a cer-tain way - Romney. But whenit came down to U.S. Senate, Ididn’t vote for Linda. I justthink she is self-serving. Ithink Murphy is a good guyand he has been in office fora while. Linda doesn’t needthe seat.”

The morning of Oct. 29,Gov. Dannel Malloy issuedmandatory evacuations formany shoreline towns, shutdown state highways and busand train lines. Flights intoand departing from BradleyAirport were grounded aswell.
Towns such as East Haven,Fairfield, Bridgeport, OldSaybrook and New Londonwere among the shoreline re-gions that were impacted themost from Sandy’s path.Much of Long Island Soundnow occupies many of thosehomes. FEMA, NationalGuard, Red Cross and emer-
gency rescue teams were onground helping families tosafety.
Some weather experts saythere is more extreme weath-er in store due to climatechange meaning people willneed to physically and men-tally prepare themselves forstorms more often. Otherssay it is impossible to saywhether global warming isthe cause of fierce hurri-canes usually blown out tosea turning inland.
Two major storms in asmany years does not meanthat is what’s in store for thefuture, though, according toFox Connecticut meteorolo-gist Geoff Fox.
While this year there havebeen 19 named storms andtropical depressions, therewere 30 in 2005. Storms com-monly move harmlessly outinto the Atlantic, and it isonly the combination of un-usual circumstances thatbrought Sandy inland, ac-cording to Fox.
“We can have another hur-ricane next year, or we couldgo another 74 years without ahurricane,” he said. “Proba-bility has no memory.”
Fox questions those whoattribute storms to globalwarming, saying there is evi-dence on both sides of the de-bate.
“I’m not saying it’s not,” hesaid. “But it’s very, very diffi-

30 was meal and blanket dis-tribution. The Red Cross isnow focusing on storm vic-tims’ needs, Shipman said.
Local hospitals in NewBritain, Southington andMeriden did not see much ac-tivity from Sandy.
Nancy Martin, a seniorpublic relations specialist forthe Hospital of Central Con-necticut’s Bradley MemorialCampus in Southington, saidthat things were calm thenights of Oct. 29 and 30, busi-ness was as usual, and therewere no storm related inci-dents. The hospital did notlose power.
“Everything was prettyquiet,” Martin said. “Wewere ready and we had plentyof staffing. We were ready for
it.”Pam Cruz, communica-
tions manager at MidStateMemorial Hospital in Meri-den, said the staff there wasprepared for Sandy.
“Our staff members weregreat and they were dedicat-ed,” Cruz said. “We certainlyhad tremendous teamworkand energy in being preparedin such a critical time in theevent that we were impactedmore than we were.”
Shipman said the RedCross will be working to helpall in Connecticut who wasaffected by Sandy.
“We’re still dealing withsignificant power outagesand floodwater keeping peo-ple from their homes,” Ship-man said.

ry meetinghouses still standtoday.”
According to Berlin His-torical Society records, TheGreat Swamp Societyevolved into the formation ofthree parishes: Kensington,Worthington and NewBritain.
The concept of separationof church and state took awhile to develop in the re-gion. The norm in Connecti-cut before the American Rev-olution was the Congrega-tional Church was the StateChurch. The church meeting-houses were used not only forSunday services, but for townmeetings as well. The threeparishes rotated as the loca-tion for town meetings forover 100 years until 1850.
“The townspeople eventu-ally said ‘we have to get these
HistoryContinued from page 3
town gatherings out of themeetinghouses because noteverybody wants to go to achurch’,” Caliandri said.“This instituted the split be-tween Berlin and NewBritain, because New Britainwanted the town to pay tobuild the hall and the peoplein Kensington and Worthing-ton didn’t want to pay. NewBritain actually was largeenough where they could outvote the two sections com-bined, so we basically kickedthem out.”
New Britain then incorpo-rated itself as a separatetown. Worthington and Kens-ington both had its own townhalls until 1907 when thebuildings then becameschoolhouses and BrandegeeHall became town hall for thewhole town until the 1970s.
“Sallie and I can remember
the building,” Stub said.“The building is a unique ar-chitect; it was built in the
Victorian age. I think it stillsays Berlin Town Hall on it,too.”

Flu preventionTo the editor,I would like to take this
opportunity to thank themany volunteers who werevital to the success of thisyear’s flu and pneumoniaimmunization clinics heldby the Central ConnecticutHealth District.

dents with a flu shot in theirhome.
We are especially gratefulto the Wethersfield/RockyHill Professional Nurses As-sociation for their continuedsupport. This organizationhas been volunteering withus for over 30 years.

A tale of two citiesBy Glenn Richter
Special to The Citizen
I’ve been thinking aboutthe Chamberlain Highway.
But “highway” is quite astretch for this thing, just atwo-lane blacktop that startson West Main Street in Meri-den, where a Walgreenspharmacy now stands andDavella Volkswagen used tobe, and ends, as far as I cantell, somewhere aroundwhere Kensington fades intoNew Britain — although, of-ficially, the end seems tocome sooner: somewherearound that little plaza withRoger’s Marketplace.
In Meriden you gothrough Cathole Pass, for-merly Cat Hole Pass, whereboth sides of the road are sosteep that nothing has everbeen built there, thank good-ness, and later you pass theSouth Kensington VolunteerFire Department, formerlythe Blue Hills School, andstill later the house with atall fence around it that oncewas the home of William T.“Skirts” Sloper, the guy whodid not dress up as a womanto escape the sinking Titan-ic, but that story, inventedout of spite by a New Yorkreporter, dogged him for therest of his life, which is whyhe built the fence.
The road is named forAbiram Chamberlain (1837-1911), son of Abiram (I haveno idea how you pronounceit, but “a-BY-ram” seems tobe one possibility) andSophronia Ruth (Burt)
Chamberlain. Starting outas a bank clerk in NewBritain, he took a job at theHome National Bank inMeriden, later moving to theSilver City and becomingthat bank’s president, then acity councilor, then the statecomptroller and eventuallythe governor — which mustbe how he got a road namedafter him. He also signed thebill creating the state police,in 1903, because the GeneralAssembly figured local po-lice weren’t cracking downon prostitution, gamblingand (horrors!) bars thatopened on Sundays. Thegood governor came “fromthe best New Englandstock,” if we’re to credit a1903 account in The Con-necticut Magazine. What aguy.
Also from that magazine,we learn that he “called outthe armed forces of the state... to quell the lawless spiritthat infested Waterbury dur-ing the famous trolley strikeof 1903.” What a town.
Anyway, he had a brother,Valentine B. Chamberlain(1833-1893), a prominentjudge and bank president,later the state treasurer, andalso “descended on bothsides from sturdy colonialstock,” as an obituary in theConnecticut State Libraryhas it. Both brothers servedwith the Connecticut Volun-teers during the War of Re-bellion, but Valentine wascaptured and spent “nearly

two years of loathsome cap-tivity in rebel prisons.”
And now I know quite abit more than I did about thename of a kid I went toBerlin High School with, V.B.Chamberlain, whom we al-ways called V.B. even thoughwe knew his name wasValentine. It was like wewere all so astounded thatany set of parents would in-
flict such a name on a kidthat there was hardly anyteasing (in my not-to-be-trusted memory, anyway).What I then saw as a majorparental felony (but I nowsee as a rich family tradi-tion) seemed to make himpretty much immune.
Anyway, after the war thebrothers came home and set-tled down, Valentine in NewBritain and Abiram in Meri-den, and it’s said that theyremained close for life, visit-ing every Sunday. Much lat-
er (in the 1930s) the roadlinking those two places,which must have been theroad they used for all thatvisiting, was named theChamberlain Highway, inhonor of the governor — al-though it has also been saidthat it was named for bothbrothers.
True or not, isn’t that anice thought?

It’s up to you whatbooks you read
By Jeffery KurzSpecial to The Citizen
I don’t have a lot of self-imposed rules, be-cause I figure there are already enoughrules in the world without my getting per-snickety about it, but one I’ve always triedto follow is you read the book first, then seethe movie.
To do it the other way around robs theimagination of opportunity, which I gener-ally think of as the “Fantasia” effect. Be-cause of that movie I can no longer listen toBeethoven’s “The Pastoral Symphony”without seeing those cute little cartoon cen-taurs and cupids or hear “The Sorcerer’sApprentice” without having Mickey Mousepop into my head.
Thanks, Disney!There are, of course, exceptions to every
rule, even of the self-made variety, andwhen it comes to 007, for example, I’d recom-mend going straight to the Bond movies.
Generally, however, you want to give yourmind an opportunity to work, which is whyit’s better to read first and watch later.When I decided to see “The Hunger Games,”a weird, disturbing story about childrenwho fight to the death in a game, I madesure to read the book first. Movies are great,but they can’t beat words when it comes tointeraction with the mind.
It’s that unique interaction that can makebooks so powerful, and also threatening,and I noticed that “The Hunger Games” isthird on the 2011 list of the top challengedbooks.
This is the 30th year the American Li-brary Association has presented a top-10list, to help remind us that our liberty tochoose is not something to take for granted.The association has an office of intellectualfreedom that receives notices from schools,libraries and the media about efforts to cen-sor books and uses it to help promoteBanned Books Week, which just happenedrecently.
If you visit the association website, atala.org, you can find all sorts of lists ofbooks that have faced challenge or outrightcensorship, and they add up to a pretty goodrecommended reading list.
There are what you could call the usualsuspects, books that have a way of getting atleast some people bent out of shape. Bannedand challenged books include the top novelsof the 20th century, including: “The GreatGatsby,” “To Kill a Mockingbird,” “TheCatcher in the Rye,” “Ulysses,” “The ColorPurple,” “The Lord of the Flies,” “1984,”“Brave New World,” “A Farewell to Arms.”
Offensive language is an often cited rea-son why a book faces challenge.
“The Hunger Games” and “The GreatGatsby” have faced challenges for reason ofoffensive language.
The immensely popular Harry Potter se-ries is at the top of the list of challengedbooks in the 2000-2009 decade.
Number 13 on that list is the Captain Un-derpants series, also very successful. In2005, when Captain Underpants was in thetop-10 list, I wrote about how author DavPilkey had grown up with what today we’dcall attention deficit hyperactivity disorder,and about how his books were aimed atyoung readers intimidated by long chaptersand uninterrupted print.
Now you might balk at a story about aschool principal transformed by mischiefinto Captain Underpants, or decide thatyour child isn’t ready for a title like “Cap-tain Underpants and the Perilous Plot ofProfessor Poopypants.”
What’s important is that it’s not up tosomebody or some entity who wants to keepit out of the library or bookstore or wherev-er. What’s important is that the choice isyours.

cult and scientifically dis-honest to take one storm andprescribe that storm to globalwarming.”
Gary Lessor, assistant tothe director of the WesternConnecticut State Universityweather center, said comput-er models have predictedmore intense but less fre-quent storms in the future.He agreed with Fox that glob-al warming cannot be linkedto any one storm, but thattrends over decades could bestudied.
With more intense storms,Lessor said the NationalWeather Center and fundingfor computer modeling ofstorm paths would becomemore important. During Hur-ricane Sandy, European mod-els were used which correctlypredicted that the stormwould strike land, while oth-er models showed it movingout to sea.
Lessor said Europeancountries spend more ontheir modeling equipment.
“Preparation is going to bekey in the future,” he said.
Chris Brown, a psychologyprofessor at Southern Con-necticut State University,said dire predictions ofstorms don’t go unnoticed bychildren. How adults handle
news is key to whether chil-dren will have unhealthyworry about the future.
“Kids take their cues fromadults,” Brown said. “Themain thing for students isthat they’re going to be con-cerned about their parents orcaregivers.”
Brown worked as a coun-selor in the Cheshire publicschools, where he is now anadministrator.
While preparation issmart, Brown said parentscan still show calm ratherthan panic.
“I think it’s more the atti-tude that parents portray,” hesaid.
Children are less able tocorrectly interpret images ontelevision, and Brown sug-gested limiting children’s ac-cess to news casts to avoidanxiety.
“When they see somethingon TV, they don’t necessarilyunderstand how near or far itis from them,” he said. “Toomuch viewing of the devasta-tion isn’t going to be good forkids.”
For adults, Brown expectsa lot of worry for those livingalong the shore.
“I’m concerned if this hap-pens again because of howhard this hit our coastline,”he said.

The game plan is simple:Get the ball to Rossetto
Berlin boys eyeinganother tourney run
New-look Lady Redcoatsmanaged to thrive
By Ken LipshezSpecial to The Citizen
The complexion of the BerlinHigh volleyball team changed thisseason when veteran coach Bob Tari-go had a gift from abroad deliveredjust in time.
Giorgia Rossetto, an exchange stu-dent from Italy, just happened to be avolleyball player, and what a volley-ball player she is. Rossetto’s ad-vanced ability in every aspect of thegame led Tarigo to assemble theteam with the 5’7 senior as the cen-terpiece.
“You name it, she does it,” saidTarigo, the former Central Connecti-cut State University basketball play-er now in his 31st year guiding theRedcoats program. “An outside hit-ter, a middle blocker and a great de-fender.”
Rossetto leads the team in kills(353), digs (349), aces (75), blocks (41)and serve receptions (342). Her spoton the All-CCC South team is a fore-gone conclusion. Tarigo’s CCCSouth colleagues deem her the sec-ond best player in the division toBristol Eastern’s Karissa Smith. Shehas been chosen to play in the SeniorAll-Star Game slated for PlainvilleHigh Nov. 19.
Rossetto’s status as one of Tari-
go’s finest players is well-estab-lished, but one player does not ateam make. Tarigo and his assistantshave worked hard to develop the uni-ty necessary to be a successful tour-nament team.
“As good as [Rossetto] is, we have alot of role players and all those play-ers have stepped up,” Tarigo said.“Without the other players, wewouldn’t get the chance to be here(12-6, likely to be the 10th seed in theClass M state tournament, which be-gins today, Nov. 8). Without her beingthe force that she is, we wouldn’t bewhere we are. It’s very importantthat the other players bought in thatshe’s our number one player.”
Even volleyball teams with lights-out hitters don’t get too far without aquality setter, and junior AliciaMaule (399 assists) has filled that slotcapably.
“She’s gotten better with eachgame,” Tarigo said. “She does a nicejob getting the ball to Giorgia and theother young ladies.”
Kristina Hagmeier is a defensivespecialist. Olivia Dellaquila andEmily Hamel have been the most ac-curate at the service line. Dellaquilahas nailed nearly 98 percent of herdeliveries and Hamel is at 96.7. Kai-lene Rampone represents with ag-gressive play at the net (77 kills, 2nd
on team) and the line (47aces in 213 attempts).
Dominika Wejda (59kills) joins Rampone intaking heat off Rossetto onthe attack. Wejda also of-fers a cerebral counterbal-ance to Rossetto’s power.
“She dinks the ballwhere there aren’t any peo-ple,” Tarigo said. “It’s oneof the things we emphasizebecause nobody hits theball as hard as Giorgia.They have to put the ballwhere the other team can’tget it.”

The BerlinHigh Schoolboys soccerteam is riding awave of confi-dence heading
into the CIAC Class L state tourna-ment, slated to begin today, Nov. 8.
“As we’ve done the past couple ofyears, we’re peaking at the rightmoment,” BHS coach Dave Fran-calangia said. “We have the rightmindset to make a push in the tour-nament. The kids are amped up andreally are looking forward to it.”
The Redcoats, slowed by injuriesthis year, still managed to roll up asolid regular season record of 9-4-1,and went 5-0-1 down the stretch.Among their triumphs this fall, thelocals knocked off eventual CentralConnecticut Conference South Di-vision champion Bristol Eastern,and CCC South runner-upPlainville.
“If our guys were healthy, I thinkwe would have ran away with theconference,” said Francalangia,pointing out that his team’s fourlosses were one-goal decisions.
The injuries allowed other teammembers to gain valuable varsityexperience, however.
“Some of the kids that wouldhave been on the bench stepped upand did a heck of a job,” Francalan-gia said. “They’re going to growfrom that, learn from that, andwe’re going to have a stronger teambecause of it.”
Berlin forwards Brajan Canoand Brian Kennure were sidelinedwith injuries much of the season,and are just now rounding intoshape. “They’re starting to clickpretty well” with forward Nate Rus-cito, said Francalangia. “Thingsare looking a lot better and a lotmore positive in that realm.”

By Nick CarrollThe Berlin Citizen
With just a handful of playerswith significant varsity experienceto lean on, expectations for theBerlin High School girls soccerteam were not particularly highthis year.
The Lady Redcoats never boughtinto that logic, however, and theyhead into the CIAC Class L statetournament with a mark of 10-3-3;the same regular season recordBerlin compiled in 2011 before go-ing on to advance to the Class Lquarterfinals.
So much for a rebuilding year.BHS coach Steve Yanosy said, so
far, things have gone “very well”for his troops.
“It is tough going into a seasonwith virtually a brand new team,”the veteran coach remarked. “Wegraduated 16 seniors from last year,and we added 17 freshmen. Manyof them have moved up to varsityand done quite well.”
It appears Berlin will be seededsixth in the Class L tournament,which is scheduled to begin Friday,Nov. 9.
The Class L bracket was releasedafter press time. Check out tourna-ment updates at myrecordjour-nal.com/berlincitizen, or on TheCitizen Facebook page.
“State tournament will be toughthis year,” said Yanosy, pointingout some potential landmines, in-cluding Farmington, Avon, Pom-peraug and Wilton. “Class L alwayshas some top teams.”
The Lady Redcoats are ready forwhatever lays ahead. Thanks toHurricane Sandy, by the time thelocals open tournament play, theywill have been out of action forsome two weeks.
“We will scrimmage some teams,and hope to keep practice competi-tive,” said Yanosy. “The kids arepositive and we will take it one

Harriers cap season in styleLady Redcoats 16th at State Open
Finishing well above its24th seed, the Berlin HighSchool girls cross countryteam landed in 16th place atthe CIAC State Open, heldSunday at Wickham Park inManchester.
“All seven of the girls ranreally well and beat someteams that are historicallyvery strong,” BHS coachSteve Soucy said, pointingout that the Lady Redcoatsbested Branford at the StateOpen, a team that got thebest of Berlin at the ClassMM competition.
Representing the Lady
Redcoats at the State Openwere Kristen Madeia (21:12),Nicole Grieco (21:26), TaylorLupini (21:42), Brittany Sulli-van (22:07), Paige Young(22:10), Nicole Sylvain (22:13)and Stefanie Parillo (22:17).
Prior to the Open, the BHSgirls placed fourth at theClass MM meet and first inthe South Division at theCentral Connecticut Confer-ence championships.
“One of the things I wasmost proud of was the waythis team focused the secondhalf of the year,” said Soucy.“After our early loss to Bris-
tol Central this year, theyjust didn’t seem like theywere bothered by the loss. Iended up not letting thempractice for a day, to thinkabout it, and asked them tocome back focused. Fromthat day forward they were100 percent focused for everyrace.”
The 2012 Lady Redcoatswere the first BHS crosscountry team – boys or girls –to qualify as a team for theState Open.
“This team’s success wascentered around the ‘team’approach, and all the girls
bought in. They didn’t carewho was first, as long as wewon and lowered our teamtime. We had three or four dif-ferent girls each place as our
number one over the yearand had one of the smallestgaps between our first andseventh runners among anyteam in the state,” Soucysaid.
“They went into (the StateOpen) not content just to bethere. While they are the firstteam in Berlin history tomake it, they wanted to endthe year with a strong show-ing and prove that they be-long in with the big teams.”

en up, much of the scoringburden this year fell on theshoulders of forward/mid-fielder Alex Bednarek. Thejunior, an All-State per-former in 2011, rose to thechallenge.
“He was a big part of whywe did so well in terms of thegoals that were scored,”Francalangia said ofBednarek, who netted 15goals and dished out eight as-sists during the regular sea-son. “He had probably sevengame-winning goals. He wasdefinitely a big part.”
In the state tournament,Bednarek should have helpin the scoring department.
“He’s learning, now thatBrajan and Brian are comingback, he’s willing to get backto his role at midfield, and re-alizes ‘these guys can scoretoo.’”
As it does Bednarek,Berlin expects a lot frommidfielder Evan Hale.
“He’s kind of the back-bone for us in the midfieldright now,” Francalangiasaid of the sophomore. “He’sprobably one of the bettercenter-mids in our confer-ence.”
The old saying ‘defensewins championships’ mayprove true for Berlin. TheRedcoat D has been stellar asof late, allowing just one goalin the team’s last sevengames.
“They’ve done a tremen-dous job, especially the lasthalf of the season,” saidFrancalangia, highlightingthe play of goalie BrianBostrom. “He has made someunbelievable saves and keptus in games.”

Gridders go down hard in Week 8By Bryant CarpenterSpecial to The Citizen
It was the sort of postgamefootball cele-bration yousee in thepostseason.
Group pic-tures in the middle of thefield, guys hoisting little
brothers – joy just spillingout all over the place, and noone in a hurry to leave. Thatwas Platt and the Pantherfaithful Friday night at SagePark after the Panthers’ 34-14 win over Berlin. While thevictory won no state champi-onship, it did offer firm proofthat Platt’s aspiration tocompete for one this seasonis no pipe dream.
In past seasons, Platt toooften would not win such ashowdown. On Friday, thePanthers did. Emphatically.
“This is definitely one ofthe best wins for Platt foot-ball,” said head coach JasonBruenn, whose Pantherpedigree dates back to hisplaying days in the late1980s. “We talked about thisbeing a program changer.This isn’t just a conferencetitle; this isn’t just a bonus tothe playoffs. This is a pro-gram changer. This is goingto put us in a different cate-gory. We’ve got to ride that
and make sure our programis moving up and up.”
With Friday’s win, thePanthers ascended to 6-2. Itwas their fourth straight vic-tory and, coming against thepreviously unbeaten Red-coats (7-1), ranked No. 10 inthe state coaches poll, by farthe biggest.
For one thing, it earnedthe Panthers the CCC Divi-sion III crown, their firstleague banner in eight years.
For another, it earned abevy of playoff points thatshould, provided Platt fin-ishes the regular seasonwith wins over East Catholicand Maloney, get the Blueand Gold into the Class Lplayoffs.
The Panthers knew allthat was on the line. That’swhy they played as well asthey did Friday night andthat’s why they did anythingbut roll over when Berlin, ateam that has taken it toPlatt for three years run-
ning, scored on the secondsnap of the game on a 48-yard breakaway.
Platt punched right back,twice erasing a one-touch-down deficit to build a 20-14lead by the break, an advan-tage they extended in thesecond half with a quickscore and a late insuranceTD and protected through-out with shutdown defense.
Platt punched back withsenior running back JustinPotts. Friday was simply theAll-Stater’s finest hour todate. He rushed for 159yards and three touchdownsin the first half and finishedwith 208 yards on 34 touch-es.
Platt punched back be-hind junior quarterbackAndrew McBride. The WestHaven transfer, gaining con-fidence and acumen by theweek, scored both second-half touchdowns, includinga 54-yarder on the first pos-session after intermission.
He finished with 177 yardson 23 carries.
The Panther defenseclamped down after allowingthe early 48-yard TD toJustin Gombotz and a 54-yard scoring drive later inthe first quarter, capped by a10-yard TD pass from MitchWilliams to Tyler Bouchard.
Gombotz finished with 122yards on 19 carries.
The home team compiled132 yards in the first frame,but managed just 115 morethe rest of the way.
“They got the momentum,and the high school game is agame of momentum,” re-marked Berlin coach JohnCapodice. “Run, block andtackle: That’s what wins thegame, and tonight they did abetter job than us.”
Berlin stands fourth in theClass M playoff race.

“He’s been a workhorseback there,” Francalangiasaid of Veley, a senior, “andhe’s making opposing playersplay off their game. He’s veryphysical.”

said Francalangia, who ledthe Redcoats to the Class Lsemifinals in 2010 and to thequarterfinals in 2011. “I thinkthere is going to be a lot oftechnical, tactical soccer be-ing played, and I think it’s go-ing to be a heck of a tourna-ment.”

prise when we go to her.”The coach appreciates the
way the girls have handledhis strategy.
“We don’t have any biggirls but we have girls withlots of heart,” he said. “If youdon’t have a girl who can putthe ball away you can onlyplay defense so long. Give theball back to a good team, theywill pound you. You need oneof those girls, and Giorgia isour girl.”
He also appreciates thecontributions he receivesfrom the other coaches, topassistant and one-time Berlinstar Nancy DiBlasio and hisson Jeff Tarigo. “We all thinkalike,” he said. “I trust whatthey tell me.”
