Phase II overagesBy Monica SzakacsThe Berlin Citizen

Berlin High School willonce again sponsor a playschool for children, ofBerlin residents, betweenthe ages of three and four.This will be the 45th yearthe program is offered atthe school.

The play school is part ofa child development classoffered at the high school togive 12th grade students anopportunity to apply whatthey have learned to hands-on experience in workingwith children from the localcommunity, according toDiane Richards, BHS fami-ly and consumer scienceteacher.

“We currently have twosections with 22 students ineach class,” Richards said.“It is a very popular classand one the students waitfour years to take.”

The total cost estimate forthe Berlin High School reno-vation project is $84,184,987,based on the Jan. 8 state PlanCompletion Test documents.This estimate is $14,234,987over the $69.9 million budgetapproved at the town referen-dum in March of 2011.

But Mayor Adam Salinasaid there are “state reme-dies available” to help fundthe additional costs so taxpayers would not have tobear the brunt of any over-ages on the project.

“What (town officials andI) are doing now is workingwith the state administra-tion and legislators to comeup with additional funds,”Salina said.

There are school construc-tion funds offered by thestate. Neighboring commu-nities, such as Meriden andMiddletown, have gonethrough similar dilemmas indealing with school renova-tion overages.

“When you’re working offan initial estimate, expecta-tions change over time be-cause the process in whichyou go through for a school

construction project is exten-sive,” Salina said. “The staterealizes that the estimatednumber is sort of a movingtarget, if you will, by thetime you put a shovel in theground. So there is addition-al funding for projects suchas this one. The goal is tofund the project with no ad-ditional burden on the taxpayer.”

Since the follow-up PCTmeetings on Feb. 6 and 7, thestate has accepted the plans,and the documents were sentto Chris Laux to perform thelocal review. Laux is con-tracted through GilbaneBuilding Company — theconstruction managementteam — and he is currently inconsultation with PublicWorks Director Art Simon-ian. Silver Petrucelli and As-sociates — the architecturalteam — have been workingon updating the documentsbased on the state’s andLaux’s comments.

In a monthly summary re-port by Gilbane, Silver Petru-celli and Simonian plan to re-turn to the state with the lo-cal review comments incor-porated into the construction

EDC to hold public forum on train station plans The Economic Develop-

ment Commission will hold apublic information sessionon topics related to the devel-opment of the town centerarea in the vicinity of theBerlin train station. The pub-lic meeting is scheduled forMarch 20, at 6:30 p.m., in thecommunity room of theBerlin-Peck Memorial Li-brary, 234 Kensington Rd.

Business owners and prop-erty owners in the vicinity ofthe train station are encour-aged to attend. The Depart-ment of Transportation’sproject director for the NewHaven Hartford, Springfieldcommuter rail project, JohnBernick, will provide an up-date of the plans, status andtime line for the project.

The state plans to spendover $500 million to upgraderail services on the NewHaven/Hartford/Springfieldline (which includes Berlin)to offer commuter and highspeed rail service scheduledto begin in 2016.

Berlin’s primary transit fa-cility is its AMTRAK trainstation located on DepotRoad, just off Farmington Av-enue. The station is one of thenine stops on the New Havento Springfield rail corridor.Berlin is the first stop southof Hartford in the initial op-erating plan for the com-muter rail service, therefore,the station has an importantrole in the rail revitalizationplan. The state’s plan for the

Berlin station includes a sig-nificant expansion of theparking lot to accommodateexpected increases in rider-ship.

The EDC also will provideinformation on the plans for anew façade and landscapegrant program that is beingfunded with a STEAP grantfrom the state. At this time,the town is still finalizing thegrant agreements and poli-cies and procedures for theprogram. Any interestedproperty owners can contacteconomic development Direc-tor Jim Mahoney to get on thelist to receive a funding appli-cation when it is available.

The final item on the agen-da for the public informationsession is a discussion of pro-posals for the downtown areathat are being considered inthe update of the town’s Planof Conservation and Develop-ment.

Among the recommenda-tions under consideration are

changes to encourage mixeduse development opportuni-ties with a housing compo-nent and changes to parkingrequirements. Planimetricswill present information onthe incentive housing zonestudy for the train stationarea that they completed forBerlin, and town staff willgive an update on the statusof projects in the train sta-

tion area.The town’s Plan of Conser-

vation and DevelopmentCommittee is nearing com-pletion of a draft plan thatwill be presented to the Plan-ning and Zoning Commis-sion and the Town Council.The POCD Committee willalso be holding a public infor-mation session on April 3, at7 p.m., in Town Council

Firefighters stand outsideof 88 Hawthorne Dr., afterextinguishing a fire in thebasement March 8.

By Lauren SievertSpecial to The Citizen

Two elderly residents wererescued from their home inthe Silver Ridge condomini-um complex after a fire start-ed in their basement.

Deputy Fire Marshal MattOdishoo said the fire was re-ported at 1:15 p.m., March 8.Fire crews from Berlin, Meri-den, Cromwell and Newing-ton responded to 88Hawthorne Dr., and crewsfrom Rocky Hill and Wethers-field assisted at the Berlinfire station.

The residents, a couple intheir 90s, were rescued by thefirst fire crew to arrive, ac-cording to Odishoo. Thewoman was by the front door,and the man was standing bythe stairwell to the basement.The fire was active when

crews arrived and was putout within 10 to 15 minutes,Odishoo said.

The residents were takenby Hunter’s Ambulance tothe hospital as a precaution,with possible smoke inhala-tion. Odishoo said familymembers came to the scene,and then went to the hospitalto check on the couple.

The owners of the condoare listed in town records asEileen Ferrato and FrankPanazzo.

The smoke spread to the at-tached house at 90Hawthorne Dr., which firefighters checked for any ad-

ditional fire or damage.“We are investigating the

cause,” Odishoo said. “Whencrews arrived on scene,smoke was showing out ofthe home.”

Neighbor Jean Watson

said she saw all the fire en-gines and came over for alook.

“He is a very active guy; hewalks every day,” Watsonsaid. “Hopefully, they will beokay.”

The fire was reported un-

der control around 2 p.m.,but firefighters stayed at thescene to begin the investiga-tion. The road into the condocomplex was closed as of 4p.m., but police expected it toreopen a short time later.

Aresimowicz: Union man, coach and Berlin’s man in HartfordBy Jesse Buchanan

Special to The Citizen

When state Rep. Joe Aresi-mowicz hears debates on theHouse floor, he’s occasionallyreminded of conversationshe’s had on politics with theyouth and high school foot-ball players he coaches. Hesaid there’s wisdom in thoseconversations with youngpeople.

“We do talk politics, wetalk everything,” Aresimow-icz said.

Aresimowicz, a Democrat,was sworn in as House major-ity leader in January. The fa-ther of three, union repre-sentative and Berlin residentis in his fifth term in the Gen-eral Assembly. His district,the 30th, covers Berlin andpart of Southington.

On the wall of Aresimow-icz’s new office in the Legisla-tive Office Building, next tothe Capitol in Hartford,hangs a newspaper headline:“Aresimowicz defeats incum-bent.” The clipping is fromhis first election, when he un-seated Republican Robert Pe-

ters, a former Berlin mayor,in 2004.

That and the followingelection, when Aresimowiczdefeated Ed Pocock III, whoat the time was a Southing-ton town councilor, were histoughest tests. While hecouldn’t control everythingin the election, Aresimowiczsaid he could determine howmany doors he knocked on

each year.“The one thing I can con-

trol is how hard I work,” hesaid.

Pocock said he got to knowAresimowicz through thecampaign and found himhonest and forthright.

“He’s always a straightshooter with me,” Pococksaid. “He tells me like it is.”

The two have talked about

local issues and Pocock saidhe never hesitated to callAresimowicz.

“We actually talk quite abit when we see each other,”Pocock said. “It’s always awarm hello.”

Aresimowicz, 42, hasn’thad an opponent in two ofhis five elections, somethinghe attributes to how wellknown he is in the district.

“I think a lot of that is ac-cessibility,” he said.

Army to AFSCMEAresimowicz (pronounced

“Are-a-SIM-a-wits”) joinedthe Army Reserve as a com-bat medic and worked for theAmerican Red Cross beforebecoming an education coor-dinator for the AmericanFederation of State, Countyand Municipal Employees,Council 4. He still holds theposition.

Understanding the per-

spective of state employeeshelps Aresimowicz when de-termining how a state de-partment runs, he said. As aformer town councilor inBerlin, Aresimowicz said, healso understands the difficul-ties facing towns and cities.

“It’s helped me have arounded-out knowledge baseof state employees,” Aresi-mowicz said. “It does help.You want those who have amunicipal background, youwant those who have a busi-ness background.”

His work with the uniondoesn’t present a conflict,Aresimowicz said. As major-ity leader, he said, he’s beencareful to let party membersdetermine what bills are pro-posed.

“The caucus will drive myagenda, my agenda won’t

drive my caucus,” he said.Bruce “Zeke” Zalaski, a

former Southington staterepresentative, said he was-n’t surprised that Aresimow-icz had risen to majorityleader.

“I could tell as soon as Imet Joe that Joe would be anup-and-comer,” Zalaski said.

Aresimowicz knows howthe legislative process worksbut, more importantly, knowshow to make friends, accord-ing to Zalaski.

“And that’s what it’s allabout in Hartford,” Zalaskisaid.

Mutual respectAresimowicz has held the

positions of deputy housespeaker and deputy majorityleader. His new role involvesorganizing the party for hear-ings and making sure legisla-tors have the informationthey need to tackle bills.

It also involves frequentlymeeting with Democraticand Republicans leaders, aswell as Gov. Dannel P. Malloy.

“That’s new for me. Evenas deputy speaker, I didn’tnecessarily sit in on those

meetings,” Aresimowiczsaid.

Most recently, those meet-ings have focused on guncontrol, mental health andschool safety proposals of-fered by legislative commit-tees. Aresimowicz is pleasedthat the committees were al-lowed to study the complexissues.

“I think we do our worstwork up here when we act re-actionary,” he said. “Becausewe kept our powder dry andlet the process work, we canhelp negotiate a bill to do alot of good and prevent an-other tragedy from occur-ring.”

Aresimowicz said he has agood relationship with Re-publicans based on mutualrespect.

State Sen. Len Fasano, aRepublican deputy minorityleader, said he’s been able towork with Aresimowicz andcalled him “a man of hisword.”

“Our policies may differfrom time to time, but Joe’salways willing to listen,”said Fasano, who representsparts of Wallingford,Cheshire and North Haven.

“He never takes a view and

says, ‘Door’s closed,’ ”Fasano said. “You have asense in the Capitol as to whoyou can work with.”

Aresimowicz, cross-en-dorsed by the Working Fami-lies Party, said he’ll supportworking families’ issuessuch as sick leave and mini-mum wage increases. Whilesupported by unions, Aresi-mowicz said these are issuesthat are important for allstate residents.

“I won’t shy away fromrepresenting working fami-lies,” he said.

Coaching football is Aresi-mowicz’s “down time,” al-though he can’t entirely es-cape his role as a legislator.In addition to conversationswith players, parents willask Aresimowicz questionsabout state government. Hedoesn’t mind, and saidcoaching allows him to talkwith residents informallyand as more than just apolitician.

“There’s not that immedi-ate awkwardness of, ‘Theywant to talk to me about anissue,’ ” Aresimowicz said.

Jesse Buchanan reports forthe Record-Journal, Meriden.

Fund for Sandy Hook workersThe Connecticut General Assembly passed legislation

introduced by House Majority Leader Joe Aresimowicz (D-Berlin/Southington) that creates a special fund to assistindividuals who suffered psychological trauma as a resultof their work related to the Sandy Hook tragedy.

“This is simply the right thing to do. Now those suffer-ing from mental health issues because of the tragedy atSandy Hook can receive the help they need without caus-ing an undue financial burden on themselves or their fam-ilies,” Aresimowicz said. “Moving forward, I’m committedto looking at our state’s workers’ compensation law thattreats mental illness differently than physical ailments.”

The Sandy Hook Workers Assistance Fund will be fund-ed through private donations and provide support to vol-unteer and professional workers who are suffering frommental health issues as a result of the tragedy. Traditionalworkers compensation does not currently cover mostworkers for exclusively mental injuries.

Aresimowicz said anyone interested in contributing orlearning more about the fund should contact him [email protected] or (860) 240-8489.

Those eligible for benefits from the fund include first re-sponders, school employees, as well as other professionalsand volunteers involved in the Sandy Hook response or in-vestigation.

The fund will be administered by the Office of VictimServices within the judicial branch, with the state treasur-er managing its assets.

The treasurer will be authorized to accept donations di-rectly, and charitable organizations will also be able to takedonations on behalf of the fund.

I wanted to point out somegood databases you mayhave missed, because web-page content statistics haveshown that many people donot take the time to scrolldown past the first click. Onour homepage,berlinpeck.lib.ct.us, thereare two places to discoverour databases. One is the“Databases” tab right underthe photo of the librarybuilding.

On the right side, if youscroll down a bit, you willfind two little gems that youpreviously may not have no-ticed. One is dubbed “LegalForms,” but upon closer ex-amination you will find acomplete library of Con-necticut-specific legal infor-mation. There are several

ways to use this resource.You may perform your ownsearch by keyword using thesearch box on the left, or youmay choose to search bywide popular categories,such as real estate, divorceor power of attorney.

There is a wealth ofinformation here and mayeven save you some legaltime if you know what to ex-pect by examining the formsahead of time.

Another hidden database

is the “Testing and Educa-tion Reference Center.” Thisresource should be of spe-cial importance to highschool and college studentsand their parents, as well aspeople thinking of a careerchange. TERC contains:

John Larson looksback at February

With the 113th Congressunderway, Iwanted toshare withthe publicwhat I havebeen work-ing on overthe pastmonth inConnecti-cut’s First District and inWashington. Below is alist of my current ven-tures.

— After calling for thereauthorization of the Vio-lence Against Women Act,I hosted a roundtable dis-cussion on the Act’s im-portance to Connecticutresidents. Joined by theConnecticut CoalitionAgainst Domestic Vio-lence and other state andlocal leaders, the round-table illustrated the needfor the House to act on thiswidely supported legisla-tion that shielded millionsof women from abuse andhelped reduce nationalrates of domestic violence.In the weeks that followed,the House eventually de-cided to bring VAWA to avote and, in a victory forwomen and families every-where, affording the

LGBT, Native American,and immigrant communi-ties an ability to seek thetreatment and preventa-tive services every individ-ual deserves. The passageof VAWA is a testament totheir commitment to pre-venting, and treating vic-tims of violence.

— In February, I trav-eled to Manchester Com-munity College to host acommunity forum on thesequester(large cuts in fed-eral government spend-ing). After updating theparticipants, I was able totake questions from theaudience and explain howthe sequester would im-pact Connecticut resi-dents.

— The theme of thisyear’s Hartford EnterpriseZone Business AssociationLuncheon was “Unity isKey to Our Survival.” Iwas pleased to join Hart-ford Mayor Pedro E. Segar-ra and our Lt. Gov. NancyWyman to discuss the im-portance of small businessin our capital city.

CommentaryFrom the Friends of the Worthington Meeting House

Town trivia part 3The present Berlin High

School is the second build-ing to house the highschool. What was thefirst?

This first question is a no-brainer for a lot of us whosepast family generationsgrew up in Berlin. The Kens-ington Grammar School,built in 1910, served as an el-ementary school for the firstfew years of its existence. Itexpanded first to a juniorhigh school (up to ninthgrade) in the 1920s, and thento a high school in the 1930s.The first class graduated in1936. An addition, called theJean E. Hooker School, wasadded to manage the expan-sion. That’s the short an-swer.

By the early 1900s, thesmall one and two-room dis-trict schools were becomingovercrowded. In 1902, a rec-ommendation was made bythe school committee tobuild a new building to ac-commodate the increasedenrollment. Some classeswere reported to have 38 to40 students of varyinggrades, all under oneteacher. There were alsocalls to have a high schoolfor Berlin, rather than pay-ing tuition for students to at-tend surrounding highschools, mostly in NewBritain or Middletown.

Charles Jarvis, schoolboard chair, suggested in1907 that a central locationbe chosen so that in a “fewyears” a high school mightbe added. The decision wasto consolidate some of theelementary schools in Kens-ington by building a multi-room facility that latermight be expanded into ahigh school. A site was cho-sen nearby the railroad sta-tion to facilitate transporta-tion. At the time, a track ranpast East Berlin into Middle-town, which allowed for easyaccess to the most eastern

Of course, access to thesemarvelous tools is throughyour Berlin-Peck Librarycard. If you haven’t had theopportunity to get one yet,just bring proof of residencyto the circulation desk. Hopeto see you soon.

tremely effective job train-ing program.

— Following January’sannouncement that the de-fense budget would include apilot program to provide ap-propriate care to militaryfamilies who have childrenwith autism, I joined otherHouse members in callingfor collaboration with mili-tary families and experts inthe development of the pro-gram. While I will continueto fight for a permanent so-lution for military families,it is crucial that this pilot

program be implementedquickly and given every op-portunity to succeed.

— In Washington I waspleased to be selected to co-lead the bipartisan Waysand Means Committee TaxReform Working Group onFinancial Services. Movingforward, I will be workingwith Rep. Adrian Smith (R-NE) to review current lawand identify the key issuesthat need to be addressed intax reform.

students, and the trolley ranfrom Worthington Ridge to“Upson’s Corner” (corner ofFarmington Avenue andNew Britain Road) and oninto New Britain.

The Kensington GrammarSchool was sometimes calledthe consolidated school.When it opened in 1910, sev-eral of the old districtschools were closed, butsome didn’t stay closed forlong. The influx of immi-grants who came to work inthe brickyards continued, es-pecially after World War I. In1920, the town authorized thepurchase of two temporaryclassrooms, each holdingabout 40 students, at a cost of

$7,500. At the same time,KGS was expanded to theninth grade. Still, promisingstudents had to go out oftown to high school. Othertown schools were addedduring this time; HubbardSchool replaced a smallerschool, and the old Wor-thington Town Hall, whichhad served from 1850 to 1907,began its third life as theWorthington School. A larg-er Blue Hills School openedin 1925 on Cathole Road (Weknow it as the South Kens-ington Fire Department).

By the early 1930s, a planwas in place to build an ad-dition to the KensingtonGrammar School, and to adda grade every year, to phasein the high school. With theGreat Depression in fullswing, this must have beendifficult for the entire town,yet people had the courageto do right by their children.Hildur Claudelin, a brand-new teacher, was hired inthe fall of 1932 to teach inthe new school, at a salary of$1,200 per year. The follow-ing year, the economy was sobad that salaries were cut,and she received $1,000. Shewas happy to still have a job.

Berlin High School contin-ued at this location until thecurrent school on PattersonWay opened in the fall of1953. KGS continued as an el-ementary school, sometimeshousing a seventh grade, un-til it finally closed in 1975.

Where was the BerlinTurnpike before 1940?

Today we think of theBerlin Turnpike as a fourlane highway loaded withshopping, restaurants andgas stations. During its hey-day in the 1940s and 1950s itwas often known as ‘Gaso-line Alley.’ It was one of themain highways betweenNew York and Boston, theother route being Route 1along the coast.

When I-91 and the Con-necticut Turnpike opened inthe 1960s, all that changed.Who remembers even earli-er days? The Hartford-NewHaven Turnpike officiallyopened in 1798, but Wor-thington Ridge was a majorthoroughfare even beforethat. The old road had seenstagecoaches and post rid-ers, and eventually it be-came the main thorough-fare. It superseded LowerLane, which was part of theoriginal Hartford-NewHaven Path that wentthrough Wethersfield on itsway to Hartford. A numberof U.S. presidents traveledthrough, this way, includingWashington, Madison, andJackson.

There are many tales of“George Washington slepthere,” but the esteemed gen-tleman did note in his diarythat in 1789, he stopped atthe tavern “of one Fuller.”

TownContinued from page 13

The townspeople had heardhe was coming, and planneda reception. However, Wash-ington was quite late. Folksbegan dipping into the cele-bratory libations that hadbeen set aside, and when hefinally did arrive, the crowdwas quite tipsy. An old sol-dier who had served with thepresident during the Ameri-can Revolution, who wassupposed to make a speech,barely managed to state thathe was just “too full for utter-ance.” I’m sure Mr. Washing-ton was gracious. The afore-

mentioned tavern stillstands on the east side ofWorthington Ridge alongwith many of the othergems found in Berlin’s his-toric district.

In 1909, the stretch ofroad from Hartford to Berlinbecame known officially asthe Berlin Turnpike. As au-tomobiles proliferated, allsorts of people frequentedthe Turnpike, the well-to dowho didn’t want to ride thetrain, celebrities and every-one in between. In 1923,baseball star Babe Ruth’scar broke down and was re-paired by a local garage. Ac-cidents, speeding and trafficjams became common, andpatience was wearing thin.By the mid-1920s overtureswere made to the state tocreate a new road that wouldbypass Worthington Ridge.The first thoughts were tohave it go west of the Ridge,but by the late 1930s the fo-cus was to the east. Some lo-

cal roads experienced majorchanges. WorthingtonRidge, which was also calledMain Street, and also BerlinStreet, was split in two nearits northern end. SunsetLane used to continue eastto Middletown Road. If youlook, you will see the rem-nants.

Think about everythingthat old meeting house haswitnessed. Next week’squestions are:

Boys hoop team shook offslow start this winter,

turned in memorable campaignBy Nick Carroll

The Berlin Citizen

The Berlin High Schoolboys basketball team wasknown to pull a rabbit fromits hat on occasion this win-ter.

This past weekend, theRedcoats’ luck ran out.

Before a raucous, packedhouse crowd Saturday night,No. 6 Enfield, the host team,downed No. 19 Berlin, 53-40,in the quarterfinal round ofthe CIAC Class M state tour-nament.

The usually deft shootingRedcoats were ice cold in thisone. Sophomore star Bren-don Vessichio was held

scoreless, and just one Berlinguy — Darren Gilbert — hitfor double-figures.

Gilbert netted 19 points,but 12 of those came in thefourth quarter with Enfieldwell in control.

“Not taking anythingaway from Enfield, they’re avery good basketball team –very athletic, very aggres-sive. They’re the six seed fora reason. Unfortunately, wejust didn’t bring it tonight,”said BHS assistant coach JoeSerfass. “We couldn’t throwthe ball in the ocean, and En-field shot lights out. It justwasn’t our night tonight.”

Serfass had the reins ofthe team in Enfield. Coach

By Nick CarrollThe Berlin Citizen

The Lady Redcoat bas-ketball Class of 2013 wasunable to bring home theholy grail of high schoolathletics – a state champi-onship – but the group cer-tainly pieced together anenviable resume.

During the past fouryears, the BHS girls hoopprogram played in fourquarterfinal and two semi-final round state tourna-ment games and claimedthe Central ConnecticutConference South Divisionchampionship each yearfrom 2011 to 2013.

Incredibly, the Lady Red-coats have not lost a CCCSouth game since Jan.2011.

“They certainly gave usfour good years,” Berlin

coach Sheila King said ofthe current seniors: Kai-lene Rampone, BrittanyNemphos, Paige Young,Demis Christodlous,Courtney Trzasko andAshley Malloy. “To lose achunk of players like thatall at once will be difficult,but they’ve left their legacyand we’ll continue to buildon it.

“These seniors pickedup where another greatgroup of seniors left off. Sowe’ll carry on.”

The locals have someholes to fill, however —Rampone, Young, Trzaskoand Malloy were starters.

Guards/forwards Ram-pone and Malloy were theteam’s leading scorers, net-ting 11.2 and 11.1 points-per-game, respectively.

Mike Veneziano was servinga one-game suspension forbeing ejected in Berlin’s sec-ond-round win.

Berlin bested No. 14 PrinceTech, 73-66, in the openinground, stunned No. 3 Bethel,57-56, in Round 2, and cappedits 2012-13 campaign with amark of 13-10.

The Redcoats started theyear 1-5.

“I would have never betwe’d be in the quarterfinalgame,” said Serfass. “Ourseniors responded. Coachchallenged them when wewere down, and they steppedup and turned this into a fan-tastic season.”

Along with Gilbert, theRedcoats say goodbye toTyler Bouchard, TylerStritch, Jeff Sylvester, NickTara and Blake Haskins.

Paul Lima drained four 3-pointers – including three inthe first quarter – and fin-ished with 19 points for En-field (20-3), which earned asemifinal round date withNo. 23 Weston.

In the quarterfinalmatchup, Berlin had the sizeadvantage, while Enfieldboasted superior speed.

“We knew we were going tohave to convert on offense be-cause if (Berlin) did get alead they’d be able to slow itdown, especially with theirsize advantage,” said Enfieldcoach Cory O’Connell. “Butwe knew if we got a lead theywouldn’t be able to do that,and they’d have to pick up thepace, and that probably wentin our favor – the fasterpace.”

Berlin trailed by as muchas seven in the opening quar-ter, and was held scoreless forthe first 4:54 of game.

Mercifully, Enfield strug-gled from the field as well atthe outset, and thanks toback-to-back buckets byBouchard (9 points), the Red-coats headed into the second

CoachContinued from page 18

Rampone drained a team-best 44 3-pointers, while Mal-loy led the locals with 65steals.

A 5-foot-10 forward, Youngaveraged 9.3 points and tal-lied a team-high 225 re-bounds, 69 assists and 28blocks.

Trzasko did her part aswell. The forward/guard wasgood for 7.8 points-per-gameand collected 96 rebounds.

Nemphos and Christodloussaw limited action, but wereinvaluable team members.

“Demis is just a phenome-nal young lady who workedhard for four years and un-derstood her role,” said King.“She earned the respect of allher teammates and repre-sented our team and what westand for.”

King said much the same ofNemphos, who battled in-juries for two years. “She dideverything she could for theteam.”

Berlin also is losing Gior-gia Rossetto, an exchange stu-dent from Italy.

Still, the Lady Redcoatswill return a solid core ofplayers next season, includ-ing current junior AliciaMaule, a starting guard, whoaveraged 8.2 points this year.

Berlin also is counting onjunior Brittany Sullivan, andsophomores Abbie Under-wood, Sam Bilinsky, AlyssaGermano and Kelsie Ander-son to help keep the locals for-midable.

King spoke about Berlin’sability to produce winningteams year after year.

“I think what allows us todo that is the seniors wholeave us each year leave theirmark, and the kids coming be-

hind know they have to stepup to it,” the coach said. “Wethrive on working hard andsetting high goals, and Ithink that’s the key. We set

the bar and we hold it there.We’re not willing to dip it.”

This winter, King’s troopsearned the No. 3 seed and afirst-round bye in the Class L

tournament. The Lady Red-coats topped No. 14 BristolEastern in Round 2 beforefalling to No. 6 RHAM in thequarterfinals.

Berlin finished with arecord of 20-3.

RHAM was knocked out ofthe tournament in the semi-finals by No. 10 Farmington.

According to the monthlysummary report, work onPhase I has progressed withmost of the site utilities com-pleted or in progress, and sub-mittals (material, productand sample data) are beingprocessed as they arrive onall facets of the Phase I build-ing. The construction teamalso plans to have the majori-ty of the foundation for the

new technology educationbuilding completed and plansto begin the installation ofunder slab utilities.

“It’s a sense of relief to ac-tually see construction mov-ing forward. I think that’sbeen the biggest issue overthe last year,” Salina said.

“I think most people lookat the project as if they wererenovating their own home,”he added. “When you’re uti-lizing tax payers’ dollars andpublic funds, there are nu-merous checks and balancesthat one has to go throughfrom architectural reviews tostate reviews and approval ofthe plan. It takes a lot moretime than what people canimagine, so to actually havethe shovel in the ground is anice thing.” Library

initial inspection by Jacuns-ki Humes. In the same report,it stated no active leaks werefound in the 1990 section, butthe roof was recommendedto be replaced based on its lifeexpectancy. The documentstates “it is in the best inter-est of the town for this sec-tion of the roof to be replacedat this time as well,” in orderto save the town money in thefuture.

According to an evaluationreport by Jacunski Humes,water ponding was visible onmany of the roof areas due to

poor drainage patterns. “A clear sign of poor

drainage is the moss growthon the north side of the cafe-teria,” the evaluation states.“Asphalt, which is the water-proof component of the builtup roofing, is migrating tothe surface. The exposed as-phalt is showing signs of ‘al-ligatoring,’ which is aprocess of volatile compo-nents escaping from the as-phalt, diminishing its water-proofing characteristics.”

In the Board of Educa-tion’s statement of need, theconclusion states, “A total re-placement of the Emma HartWillard Elementary Schoolroof is critical in order to

provide for a safe and appro-priate learning and commu-nity environment as well asto protect this town asset andinvestment.”

The project will includethe installation of a new 30-year EPDM (ethylene propy-lene diene monomer rubber)roofing system, replacementof all gutters as applicable,testing and cleaning of allroof drains, masonryrestoration and caulking, in-spection of the roof deck andreplacement of problem ar-eas, and asbestos removaland disposal.
