Scouts cook Thanksgivingfeast from scratch

Berlin embracesBollywood dance craze

BHS senior on Today Show Halloween edition

By Katherine VandrillaSpecial to The Citizen

Troop 44 Boy Scouts made everythingfrom pies to the turkey without the help ofelectricity, at their 13th annual WildernessThanksgiving over the weekend of Nov. 4.

Each year at the Sage Park Pavilion,Scouts prepare an entire Thanksgiving mealnot only outside — but from scratch. Thistakes place every year despite rain, snow orbelow-freezing temperatures. Preparing aturkey is a daunting cooking task for manypeople, let alone trying it outside when it’sonly 20 degrees.

What is more unusual is how Scouts cookthe turkey — in a garbage can. The metal canis bought new and modified to turn it into anoutdoor oven. Hot coals are inserted intometal sleeves running along the inside, and a20 pound turkey can be cooked in about fourhours. At least one additional turkey is deep-fried in a propane cooker.

Scouts also prepare ham, stuffing, vegeta-bles, baked and sweet potatoes, cornbread,cranberry-orange relish, homemade butter,cookies, and over half a dozen apple andpumpkin pies. Cooking methods include an

“Bollywood” technicallyrefers to the booming Hindifilm industry in India. How-ever, for many people aroundthe world the term has cometo mean the fun, energetic,and captivating dance stylefeatured in the movies ofBollywood.

First becom-ing popular in the MiddleEast and other countries inAsia, Bollywood soon be-came all the rage in Europeas well, and is now takingover the U.S. and Canada.Every major city in ourcountry offers Bollywooddance classes to its residents— and now Berlin has be-come a part of this sizzlingdance trend.

Holly Robillard and I, bothBerlin High School students,have taught Bollywood danceclasses at Caroline’s DanceCenter in Berlin since the be-ginning of this year. We re-cently started a new six-week introductory Bolly-wood dance course that hada good turnout. Each weekthe class gets together to en-joy ourselves while learningsome cool new dance moves.We offer new, varied chore-

ography in every class thatencourages all dancers tochallenge themselves, havefun, and get a fantastic work-out.

Participant Kim Reid said,“I enjoy the music and it is agreat form of exercise.”

“I met Akanksha fresh-man year, when we bondedover our love for dance,” Hol-ly said. “Akanksha taught me

A new club at Berlin HighSchool is recruiting fundsand volunteers in order tolend a hand to Habitat forHumanity. At this time, the

group is focused on fundrais-ing to pay for materials forupcoming projects. Those in-volved say they have highhopes for the future. The stu-dents’ first build is sched-uled for early December. Ifable to raise enough money,

an international trip to par-ticipate in a project in a de-veloping country, will be a se-rious consideration.

“I was impressed withHabitat for Humanity’s workwhile on a recent trip toLouisiana,” said Kevin Pir-ruccio, a BHS junior whofounded the local chapter. “Iwant to help give studentsthe opportunity to make an

impact on large scale is-sues.”

Advisor Scott Peaslee said“We want to educate stu-dents about state, national,and world issues such aspoverty and homelessnessand advocate on behalf ofthe people who are in thesepositions. Habitat for Hu-manity is more than a non-profit organization that

builds houses; we work close-ly with the people for whomthe home is being built toteach them skills and helpthem build capital.”

I started learning Indianclassical dance eight yearsago, and then moved on toexplore the field of Bolly-wood; a mix of several differ-ent dance styles, includingIndian classical, belly dance,Indian folk, Western popular,“modern,” jazz, hip-hop, andmany others.

In order to understand therelationship between Bolly-wood movies and dancing, itis important to first under-

stand that in Western filmsthere is a specific musicalgenre, which featuressinging and dancing. Indianshave a hard time graspingthe concept of a movie with-out music and dance. Hindimovies lacking musicalnumbers typically meet withvery little commercial suc-cess.

Some have beenwriting for us for a while andothers recently joined ourfreelancer pool. Some areconsidering a career in thisfield, while others see writ-ing and/or reporting as oneelement of a broad-based ed-ucation.

They write about their ex-periences and observationsabout town life and bring afresh perspective on Berlin.Some have taken on the chal-

lenges of covering eventswhile others share personalstories about their activities.

Their work makes an im-portant contribution to thediversity of voices we seekfor our pages. Writing fortheir hometown paper andThe Citizen website givesthem a chance to check outthe profession and honetheir skills.

While journalism hasbeen in flux for the pastdecade, there is no doubtabout the public’s enormousappetite for good writing andinsightful copy. It’s excitingto know a new generation iswilling to take on those chal-lenges.

The Citizen offers Berlinstudents a chance to try theirskills with our “Student voic-es” column, which runs occa-sionally on the op-ed pages.Contact [email protected] for more informa-tion.

Year two: BHS Writing Centera ‘beneficial resource’

By Joseph Starosz and Holly RobillardSpecial to The Citizen

Berlin High School’s Writing Center is aplace where students can bring papers fromany subject to get positive feedback from atrained student tutor. The group prides itselfon guiding students towards making theirown corrections rather than directly givinganswers; a visit to the center is a valuablelearning experience outside the traditionalclassroom setting.

Tutors agree that they’ve gained a lot ofexperience from last year’s “trial run” andare excited for this second year. The goal is tocontinue to improve the quality of writingthroughout the school.

Earlier in the year, the group was honoredto be chosen to make a presentation at the

University of Connecticut’s 4th Annual Con-ference for High School Writing Centerswhere 13 schools participated. Berlin tutorsplayed a video of their activities to highlightthe key concepts of a writing center. Overall,the group expressed satisfaction that themeeting had been successful and that it hadprovided ideas for the future.

Many Writing Center members say theyhave found this form of tutoring, set in a re-laxing yet productive atmosphere, and fo-cused on the individual, to be a worthwhilechallenge. Each session inspires them to im-prove their skills.

By the time they enter college or the workforce, they will be prepared to handle diffi-cult social and academic situations.

The Writing Center can inspire students togo beyond the requirements of English class.

every moment of the uniqueexperience.

The first day started witha two-hour trip to NYC. Afterarriving at the hotel, Alberttold us we’d start with re-hearsals instead of checking-in first due to a technical is-sue with our bookings. So, Ijoined the other students andDow scientist, Nahrain Kam-ber, in the conference room.

The rehearsals went on forthree hours. We learned tocoordinate our parts of thesegment while timing every-thing to fit into five minute-long segments. The main fo-cus of the rehearsals was ongetting all the proportionsright for the ingredients tobe used in the experimentsso that the appropriate effectwas achieved.

All the experiments hadbeen specifically chosen tomatch the Halloween themeof the show. My experimentwas the classic baking sodavolcano. Others were called:SLIME Time!, ElephantToothpaste, and Milk Kalei-doscope. There was a back-up experiment in case theproducers didn’t like one ofthe other ones. It was calledVanishing Glass.

Once the rehearsals wereover, we checked into the ho-tel room and prepared forthe big day. There would be afinal meeting in the lobby at9 p.m. to make sure thateveryone knew the schedulefor the next day. At that meet-ing, we were told producerswanted everyone in the seg-ment to be dressed up in ac-cordance with the Halloweentheme — I’d dress up as a

forensic scientist.On the morning of Oct. 31,

we woke up early and wentdown for breakfast witheveryone else, before head-ing out for the NBC Studio atRockefeller Plaza.

At the show, we were di-rected to the hair and make-up area for final touches tomake us look better on tele-vision. Then, we dressed inour costumes and waited inthe green rooms for the nextcouple of hours before goingto the outdoor stage for thesegment.

Finally, it was time for usto go out for the segment atquarter to 11. Once outside,we were in position and giv-en the five-second count-down by the producer tostart off the segment. It wasa thrill to be on national tele-vision.

The show’s hosts, knownto most simply as “KathieLee and Hoda,” seemed a lit-tle confused, when it cametime for my experiment. As Ipoured in vinegar solutioninto the baking soda insidethe volcano, it appeared as ifI might have missed the holein the volcano due to the re-action taking place so quick-ly.

Hoda said, “What just hap-pened here?”

But they got the idea andit was fun. The Dow scientistsuccessfully led the hoststhrough each experiment. Ienjoyed the experience andhope to be behind those cam-eras one day as I work to-wards a career in mass com-munications.

BHS football: Playoff-bound, once again

Photo by Paul G. Salina

Berlin High School’s Mitch Williams looks for a receiv-er Friday at Scalise Field. The Redcoats toppedBloomfield, 17-12, that night to improve to 8-1.

By Nick CarrollThe Berlin Citizen

Friday was an all-aroundgreat night for the BerlinHigh School football team.

To start, the Redcoats hon-ored their senior team mem-bers before the group’s finalregular season appearanceat Scalise Field.

The home team then wenton to defeat a tough Bloom-field squad, 17-12, to improveits season record to 8-1.

And to top things off, thewin solidified a state playoffberth for the Redcoats, theprogram’s seventh in eightyears.

“This season could havegone either way,” said BHScoach John Capodice, point-ing out that just two startersreturned from last year, andhis coaching staff under-went changes.

“To be 8-1 I think is atremendous accomplish-ment for the kids, the coach-es and the program. We talkabout ‘Berlin pride’, and Ithink a lot of that came outthis year. These kids really

persevered.”For the Redcoats, the turn-

ing point of the season camevery early on. A lacklusterperformance in a scrimmagewith Cromwell proved to re-focus the locals.

“I think we came back anddid some soul-searching as ateam and as a staff,”Capodice said. “From thatpoint on we made a commit-ment that we were going togive this thing everything wehad. We knew the margin oferror was small. We knew wedidn’t have all the super-stars. But we have a good,hard-working coaching staff,and hard-working players,and we’re going to give it ourbest shot.”

Along with qualifying forthe playoffs, this fall, Berlinsecured its third straightCentral Connecticut Confer-ence Division III title.

Capodice gives a lot of thecredit for the Redcoats’ suc-cess to his senior contingent.The seniors are Tommy Un-dercuffler, Devin Silverman,Rob Morin, Justin Zup, Bran-don Slater, Dan Lojko, Chris

Dabkowski, Dan Lavianaand Mike Derosier.

“They were in a real diffi-cult situation this year. Obvi-ously we had some changesto our coaching staff. We lostsix scholarship players (tograduation). There were a lot

of changes,” the coach said.“There was a lot of uncer-

tainty, and for these kids tolead us to an 8-1 season atthis point, and another play-off berth, I think it’s atremendous accomplish-ment and a testament to the

Through three games, the BerlinHigh School soccer teams were un-blemished in the CIAC Class L statetournaments.

The Berlin boys, a 14th seed,downed Platt-Meriden, 4-0, in theopening round and followed up thatperformance by cruising past Uni-versity-Hartford, 7-1, in Round 2.

The seventh-seed BHS girlsearned a first-round bye and sur-vived Wilton, 2-1, in the secondround. The game was decided onpenalty kicks.

Both BHS squads were slated tocompete in the quarterfinals afterpress time. The boys were to face No.22 Branford Wednesday. The girlshad a date with No. 2 Avon Tuesday.

The Berlin boys were simply dom-inant against University Monday inHartford. The Redcoats fell behind 1-0 in the first half, but regrouped in a

big way and pounded in sevenstraight goals.

“We talked before the game aboutcommunication. We talked about

staying composed and pressuring,and we talked about finishing ourchances. We didn’t really do that thefirst half. It took until the second half

to kind of get everybody together,calm things down a little bit,” saidBHS coach Dave Francalangia.

After the break “we were a littlebit more composed, and it was all weneeded to convert these opportuni-ties. We bombarded them with shotsin the second half, and we just hap-pened to finish six of them.”

Connor Hilbie and Alex Bednarekhighlighted the Redcoats’ high-pow-ered offense that day. Hilbie dishedout four assists. Bednarek had threegoals and an assist.

Also scoring in the rout wasBerlin’s Brajan Cano, Armand Cano,

leadership of these seniors.”Against Bloomfield (5-3),

Berlin struck first on a 31-yard second-quarter fieldgoal by Silverman. A rushingtouchdown by Kevin Mainfollowed by a two-point con-version extended the Red-coats’ lead to 11-0.

But the Warhawks had alot of fight left in them. Thevisitors struck before thebreak to make it a five-pointgame at halftime.

Berlin’s 11-6 advantageheld up until late in the thirdwhen Redcoat quarterbackMitch Williams connectedwith Tyler Bouchard for aTD.

Bloomfield would find theend zone one more time, butthe comeback ended there.

Midway through thefourth, clinging to a five-point lead, Berlin’s offensedid enough to burn up theclock. “Their offense did notget back on the field,” saidCapodice.

The Redcoats are out of ac-tion until Thanksgiving Evewhen they will face NewBritain at Veterans Stadium.

They’re the ‘Bomb’

By Nick CarrollThe Berlin Citizen

It was al-most as if theLady Red-coats weresnake-bitten.

The BerlinHigh School volleyball teamwas without one veteranplayer the entire year, andsuffered another devastatinginjury during the season.The end result was a sub-.500campaign for the Lady Red-coats.

“With all the things thathad gone on this year, as faras people getting hurt, in-

juries, trying to shift peoplearound, I’m really, reallypleased how well, overall, weplayed this year,” said BHScoach Bob Tarigo. “Thecoaches, I think we all got themost out of the girls that wecould possibly have got.”

An 18th seed, Berlin fell toNo. 15 North Haven, 3-1 (25-18, 19-25, 25-19, 25-22), lastweek in the opening round ofthe CIAC Class M state tour-nament.

Tarigo felt his troops wereevenly matched with NorthHaven. “They just had morepeople that could hit the ballharder,” the veteran headman lamented. “We just

The Berlin Bombers U-9 girls travel soccer team wrapped up its season with anundefeated league record of 4-0-2. The Bombers are, front row, from left: Jor-dan Danielle, Noelle Konior, Shannon Flaherty, Carly Grega, Jillian Santana,Jenna Zup and Amanda Moss. Back row, from left: Taylor Edman, Ashley Wen-zel, Kelly Kozlowski, Bella Crossley, Lillian Hartel, Madeline Palmese and MollyBrett. The team was coached by Rosanna Zup, Scot Wenzel and Jamie Palmese.

couldn’t put the ball awayenough times.”

The Lady Redcoats, wholost three straight matchesto start the season, ended theyear with a respectable markof 8-11.

North Haven was defeatedby No. 2 Platt- Meriden, 3-1,in Round 2.

The locals are losing eightplayers to graduation: Victo-ria Fagan, Rachel Zelek, Jes-sica Naples, Kelly Walsh,Meghan Long, MackenzieFreeland, Lia D’Amato andBrittany Labbadia.

Fagan, recovering from in-jury, was sidelined this sea-son. Long was hurt in mid-

October and did not returnto action.

“You only can play withwhat you’ve got, and the girlswho played, they all steppedup, and they all did a greatjob,” said Tarigo.

Berlin is graduating a lotof talent, but the locals havea solid core returning to thefloor in 2012.

Back next year are varsityplayers Kristina Hagmeier,Gabrielle St. Jarre, Domini-ka Wejda, Olivia Dellaquila,Emily Hamel and AliciaMaule.

Also, BHS’s first-yearfreshmen team turned in asolid season this fall.

“I’m excited to see whatwe can do with the girls whowere freshman this year,”said Tarigo.

Sounds like Tarigo — whohas navigated the Lady Red-coats for three decades,while amassing more than400 victories and a slew ofconference titles — has noplans to step away fromcoaching any time soon.

“The community has al-ways supported the pro-gram. I enjoy coaching inBerlin,” he said. “If I didn’tenjoy it I wouldn’t be here.It’s a very friendly-type situ-ation. It keeps me going be-cause of that.”

The BHS girls got a scarein their tournament opener,but held on to top Wilton Sat-urday in Berlin.

“We drew a Wilton teamwhich is very strong, andtheir girls battled,” BHScoach Steve Yanosy said,pointing out that Wilton

stumbled out of the gate thisseason, but finished on a tear.“They came on like gang-busters at the end. They’re areally strong team, and theyplay in a real tough confer-ence.”

The Lady Redcoats trailedWilton 1-0 in the second halfbefore Emma Johnsonevened things.

The teams went on to bat-tle through the rest of thehalf and two overtime peri-ods, but the score remained

deadlocked.The game would come

down to penalty kicks.“PKs are something that

we work on every year, to-wards the end of the year, inpractice. So we were confi-dent,” Yanosy said. “Thegirls did a great job, and fin-ished.”

The teams were tied 4-4 af-ter the first round of penaltykicks. The second round wasa set of five, and Berlin pre-vailed, 3-1.

Lady Redcoat keeperRobyn Riggot stopped four ofthe last five penalty shots shefaced. “That doesn’t hurt,”said Yanosy.

Berlin’s quarterfinal oppo-nent, Avon, eliminated theLady Redcoats from the statetournament in 2009.

“We have a few girls whoremember what happenedtwo years ago. We were theNo. 1 seed, and they came inand knocked us off,” saidYanosy.

This time around, Avon isthe higher seed. “They’resupposed to win. We’ve gotnothing to lose, and we havethat ‘why not us’ attitude,”Yanosy said.

“We have a great group ofgirls who work for each oth-er, play together as a team.When you do that, anythingcan happen.”

“It was a tremendous suc-cess in 2010 and we hope withmuch support and enthusi-asm to be able to continuethis year,” Rose said.

Over 70 people volunteeredlast year, the first year of theproject. Volunteers are need-ed to prepare the luminariabags at 6 p.m. Dec. 20 at theBerlin CongregationalChurch. Volunteers also helpwith placing bags on theRidge Christmas Eve at 2 p.m.and to pick these up onChristmas morning.

The church once again willdonate its facility for set-up.Chief Jim Simons of theBerlin Fire Department hasoffered to assist again withtransporting and deliveringthe luminaria bags. Severalfiremen from that depart-ment helped out last year andeven Santa can made his wayto the Ridge.

Help light up the RidgeDonations are needed,

Rose said. “Even if you can’tphysically help out, your con-tribution will enable us tocontinue this tradition.”Rose said she hopes to start afund with any donations re-ceived to cover costs for thisyear and years to come.

Leaf collectionThe Berlin Public Works Department has scheduled curb-

side leaf collection for residents’ trash days during the weekof Nov. 28 through Dec. 2.

Leaves must be in biodegradable brown paper bags and leftat the curb on regular trash day. Trash barrels or other con-tainers may also be used. (The containers will be emptied andput back at the curb.) Purchased leaf bags and alternate leafcontainers must be clearly marked “leaves”. Plastic bags arenot permitted. Keep all leaf bags and leaf containers awayfrom the automated trash container. Grass clippings, yardwaste and twigs cannot be mixed with leaves.

Do not rake leaves into the gutter. This is a violation of theanti-litter ordinance, and subject to a fine.

To dispose of leaves, residents may also bring them to 19Town Farm Lane (off Massirio drive), Monday through Fri-day, between 7:15 a.m. and 3:15 p.m.; and Saturdays, throughNov. 26 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. All bags and containers must beemptied and removed from the drop-off area inside the Recy-cle Center.
