Look for your school in an upcoming spotlight; thisweek the focus is on:

Hubbard ElementarySchool, 139 Grove St., EastBerlin, serves studentsfrom kindergartenthrough fifth grade. Thereare 245 students enrolled.

Alfred Souza III is theschool’s principal and itsnewest administrator. Hehas been principal for fiveyears.

What’s new at your fa-cility?

While there are current-ly no major facility up-dates to report, the schoolhas added a swing set thataccommodates eight chil-dren. The new playgroundequipment was acquiredthrough efforts of the PTO.

In addition, efforts havebeen made to infuse tech-nology into classrooms

with the continued instal-lation of interactive whiteboards (SMARTBoards)and the purchase of docu-ment cameras.

One of the primary cur-ricular initiatives this yearhas been the implementa-tion of the Writing Work-shop. This is an interdisci-plinary approach to writ-ing which can build stu-dents’ fluency in this con-tent area.

Legacy and future of Willard house remain elusive By Amy Prescher


Passersby may have no-ticed a mysterious sign onthe fence of what is believedto be the former residence ofEmma Hart Willard at 446Lower Lane on the corner ofNorton Road. The yellowclapboard house, which hasbeen deteriorating over sev-eral years, appears to be in-voking the ghost of the fa-mous educator to save its life.

The sign reads. “I need help. Please don’t

let me go to potts [sic] (thehouse)! I am part of ColonialRow. Help me, EmmaWillard.”

The so-called Willardhouse began its descent intodereliction when the previ-ous owner stopped makingpayments and the house wasforced into foreclosure. It re-mained vacant for one or twoyears before it was sold to thepresent owner at auction in2010. Its fate now hangs in thebalance as the new ownerweighs a costly renovation ordecides to rebuild. Town zon-ing laws may have an impacton the decision, because itcan only keep its two-familydesignation if it is renovated.If the house is demolished, itmust be rebuilt as a singlefamily home.

A handwritten sign at the old Willard place cries out for attention.

marks the birthplace ofEmma Hart Willard and hersister, Almira Hart LincolnPhelps, who was also an edu-cator and author of sciencetextbooks. This commemora-tive stone was set in 1913 bythe Daughters of the Ameri-can Revolution, who hadnamed one of their localchapters after Willard. How-ever, despite the proximity ofthe stone to the house, it wasprobably never occupied byEmma Hart as a young girl.Historical sources indicatethat the Hart family homewas no longer standing by themiddle of the 19th century.The present house was builton Hart property, but severalyears after Emma had leftBerlin to marry and launchher career. A well on thesouth side of the house wasused by the Harts until thecurrent house was set be-tween it and the Hart home.According to Sallie Calian-dri, a member of the BerlinHistorical Society, the style ofthe house suggests that it wasbuilt in circa 1840.

No matter what the histori-cal records say, a public at-tachment to the house seemsto have grown out of its long-standing association with thehistorical site and the nearbyelementary school named inher honor. Its historical char-acter is defined by the simpleFederal style and an old-fash-ioned picket fence surround-

ing the yard. Archival photosshow that the house lookedeven humbler in the 19th cen-tury. It was probably dressedup in conjunction with the ef-forts of the DAR to create ashrine to their heroine in1913.

Twelve-over-twelve dou-ble-hung sash windows re-placed six-over-six, and highlintels were added to makethe house look more distin-guished. The addition on thewest side of the house hashistorical interest for anoth-

As costs rise, high school renovation plans scaled back By Amy Prescher


Fans of the Berlin HighSchool expansion and reno-vation plan have been dealt ablow by the news that severalcuts must be made to the pre-liminary designs presentedfor referendum. The esti-mate presented to the public

building commission in De-cember indicated that build-ing costs would exceed thebudget of $69.95 million by $4million.

Among the cuts is the sci-ence wing addition, one ofthe most compelling featuresof the project.

Apparently, the feasibilitystudy prepared by Silver,

Petrucelli Associates for theMarch 2011 referendum wasbased on the original designdrawings of the high schoolfrom the 1950s and not “asbuilt” drawings, leading to asignificant discrepancy inthe square footage of thehigh school footprint.

Estimates depend on theamount of square footage, sothe miscalculation had animmediate impact. Accord-ing to Public Works DirectorArt Simonian, the town didnot possess a copy of the “asbuilt” plans from the 1950sand did not undertake a cost-ly new survey because it wasnot clear that the projectwould ever go forward. Sil-ver, Petrucelli conducted asurvey in the fall of 2011 af-ter the referendum had beenpassed. The “as-built” draw-ings recently were found inthe high school building.

The square footage is alsoan important factor in calcu-lating the rate of state reim-bursement. As it stands, theexisting footprint of the highschool exceeds the limits for

maximum reimbursement,and for this reason it is morepalatable to eliminate the ad-dition.

“We may not have them inthe science wing,” said May-or Adam Salina, “but we aregoing to have brand new sci-ence classrooms.”

Silver, Petrucelli and As-sociates, who declined tocomment on this story, sub-mitted a revised plan in Jan-uary which locates the sci-ence classrooms in the south-west corner of the building.

The entire second floorand part of the first floor hadto be redesigned to accommo-date the changes. The sci-ence labs will be smaller andseveral departments willlose one or two classrooms;the amphitheater and sever-al storage rooms will be elim-inated and other spaces willbe relocated or reduced insize.

According to Simonian,there is no additional cost foraltering the plans. To date,Silver, Petrucelli have beenpaid nearly $340,000 for its

services. Construction managers,

FIP Construction of Farm-ington, presented a new esti-mate of nearly $60 million forthe total construction costsbased on the revised plans(not including several otherfees).

FIP calculated that theproject will take 36 months tocomplete, and will include aswing space to allow con-struction to continue duringthe school year.

Salina expects remedia-tion efforts to begin this sum-mer.

“We have had a slight de-lay, but we are still in the de-sign phase and bids were notexpected to go out until theend of the year, anyway. Inthe end, we will have a beau-tiful new high school withinour budget,” he said.

Parking on Worthington Ridge is at a premium Wednesday mornings when MarthaNeault hosts Circle Time at the Berlin Free Library. As many as 12 little ones come withtheir caregivers to enjoy stories, songs and crafts. Infant siblings often wait on deck intheir carriers and watch the fun. At right, Reyne Lynch and Jake Neault showing offtheir dragon puppets from Twilight Tales. The upper story of the library is used as achildren’s library and is an ideal space for programs with books, toys and an electrictrain running on tracks around the room. “For Valentine’s Day we are going to makeValentine hearts with cut-out hands displaying ‘I love you’ in sign language,” Neaultsaid. “Recently, we made dragon hats for the Chinese New Year.” Adults have nearly asmuch fun as the children. About half of the grown-ups are grandparents who appreci-ate having a creative social activity to help them entertain their charges. Neault alsohosts Twilight Tales for school-age children; Wednesday evenings from 7 to 8 pm.

Take Your Child to the Library Day was a success at the Berlin Peck Memorial Library Saturday. The common thread among subjects is thattheir trips to the library are not only frequent, but part of their weekly routine. Jillian Alessandra and her mom Trish, at left, search thestacks for some good reads. Jillian is a student at Hubbard Elementary School, and a trip to the library is a Saturday morning ritual. MariaButrimas and her dad Tony know that going to the library can mean more than just finding good books. It’s an opportunity to get some workdone on one of the library’s personal computers. Maria is a student at Griswold Elementary School, and gets to the library every Saturday.Aidan, left, and Cameron Garneau listen intently as their dad Tim reads a story. Aidan and Cameron are pre-school students at St. PaulSchool, and they make many enjoyable trips to the library to hear stories and play games.

America as compared to thatof Brazil, Gabriela said itwas different, but she liked it.“There are more students inthe classes at Berlin HighSchool than I am used to athome.” She noted that, inBrazil, the students stay inthe same classroom the ma-jority of the time while theteachers switch rooms, theopposite of the Berlin HighSchool routine. However,Gabriela claimed that sheliked being able to walk toclass and interact with someof the other students. Shesaid the rules, including theno cell phone policy, are bet-ter enforced at Berlin HighSchool than in Brazil.

Ana also agreed that shehad a lot of fun during herventure; the Kensington Birdand Animal Hospital. She iscurrently studying to becomea veterinarian with a spe-cialization in the field ofhorses. “I was not used to see-ing so many birds and cats,and only one dog, becausethat is very unusual inBrazil.” Brazilian veterinari-ans usually work with abroader array of animals,she said. The visit to theKensington vet was her firsttime in the surgery room.She said it was a unique expe-

rience that she will always re-member. Overall, she saidthat her time at the hospitalhelped her gain valuableknowledge that will be usefulin her career.

The teenagers had achance to try a variety of oth-er American activities. Eachmorning started with ahearty breakfast, includingbacon and eggs, which theysaid is typically a lunch inBrazil. The girls enjoyedwatching television in Eng-lish and listening to popularmusic to relax.

“We didn’t want to inter-rupt our aunt and Paul’slifestyle,” Gabriela and Anasaid, adding, “We wanted tolive like regular Americans.”They agreed that their trip toNew York City was the mostexciting American activitythey experienced. Ana notedthat the buildings, lights, andsounds were similar to SanPaulo’s, a city near theirhometown, but also inde-scribably different; unlikeanything they’d ever seen be-fore.

Although Ana andGabriela admit they werefearful Americans might bestereotypically rude, theywere pleasantly surprised tofind people respectful and in-terested in their lives andboth agreed they had a won-derful time visiting Berlin.

in honor of people who havebattled breast cancer andthose, like her aunt andcousin, who died of the dis-ease.

Remembering those peo-ple is what helped pushBoehm on the last and mostdifficult day of the trip, shesaid. Boehm is an experi-enced hiker and was pre-pared for the climb – but thealtitude on the mountain waschallenging. For most of theseven-day trip, the groupclimbed about 2,000 feet perday. On the last day, theyclimbed 4,000 feet. At the

summit, many hikers neededoxygen.

“Somebody in the groupsaid, ‘When it gets reallytough, think about all thepeople who had breast cancerand couldn’t do this,’” Boehmrecalls. “That’s what kept megoing that last day, whenevery step was painful. Butthis hike was special, be-cause we were doing it inhonor of people with breastcancer and in memory ofthose we’ve lost.”

Boehm and her stepdaugh-ter raised almost $5,000 forthe Connecticut Komen or-ganization.

Last spring, David Bosso, a teacher at Berlin High School,traveled to Ghana and worked with Raphael Aidoo-Taylor, a teacher atWGHS, to arrange for shipments of books for Sheilla and her classmates.Since then, Griswold Elementary School teachers organized a Ghana BookDrive. Students brought in some of their favorite books, resulting in a col-lection of 20 boxes of gently used books. Coin collection drives facilitated byGriswold UpBeat were held at Griswold and Berlin High School, as well asadditional donations, supplemented the cost of shipping the donated booksto Ghana.

Local goodsTo the editor:We’ve been reading and

enjoying the U.S.A. serieswritten by Dave Kobus.Many of us here at MickeyFinn’s are lifelong Berlin res-idents and avid readers ofThe Berlin Citizen. We thinkDave might be interested toknow that we do carry a bigselection of Made in theU.S.A. footwear and apparelitems right here in Berlin, inour work apparel andfootwear store on the BerlinTurnpike.

Many work boot manufac-tures are very aware thattheir customers look for theMade in the U.S.A. label.Chippewa, Thorogood, RedWing, are just a few of thebrands that we have in stock

that are Made in the U.S.A.Carhartt also has a series ofapparel Made in the U.S.A. asdo several sock vendors.

As an apparel retailer wemake every effort to provideour customers with a goodselection of Made in theU.S.A. products whenever itis available. We listen to ourcustomers every day and re-alize that this is an impor-tant factor when they arechoosing work wear.

We work with our vendorson a daily basis, so we arevery in-tune with this issue.We think it is important tospread the word that there isproduct out there if youknow where to look.

Get efficientTo the editor:In a follow-up to resident

Michele Janota’s letter re-garding town recycling col-lection bins (“Bigger BinsPlease”), I would promotethe business aspects of her

recommendation.While it has already been

established that tipping feesfor recyclable materials islower than that of standardrefuse, and some level of re-cycling effort is “mandato-ry” to our residents, thegreatest net savings of thiseffort can only be realizedwhen residents are both en-couraged and enabled to par-ticipate. In agreement withMs. Janota’s letter, a changein the recycling collectionservice is what we arerecommending.

Use of the higher capacityrolling bins will enable moreresidents to move recy-clables to the curb. Many ofour aged population are un-willing or unable to lift andcarry full bins, limiting theirparticipation. As we haveadopted the green, rollingbins for ordinary refuse, us-ing blue versions of the samewould lessen the labor for allinvolved — think of the col-lection staff who lift themdaily, all across town!

The New Britain andBerlin Chamber of Com-merce will affiliate in a his-toric regional partnership.According to William F.Millerick, president of theNew Britain Chamber, thegroundbreaking new part-nership will mean thatarea businesses can belongto a larger, local Chamberwith one membership fee.

“It won’t cost membersany more, but they’ll get alarger, regional businessmarket and all the benefitsof a full-service Chamberas part of their member-ship, “ Millerick said.

In November, the BerlinChamber had announcedthat due to the economy, itwould not be able to contin-ue operating on a day today basis and was closingits doors.

“For many businessesand non-profit organiza-tions, Chamber member-ship is critical to their suc-cess and the potential lossof the Berlin Chamber wasa troubling development,not only for Berlin but forthe region,” Millerick said.

“We began discussionswith Berlin leadership,and also encouraged themto speak with other Cham-bers to ensure they lookedat all of their options. Tome, what always drove thediscussions was simply,what would be best formember businesses. Myfeeling was that a regionalChamber, that has a localflavor and gives members agreater footprint and all

the services at the sameprice is perfect,” Millericksaid.

The new affiliation willmean modifying the nameof the organizations. It willnow be the Greater NewBritain Chamber – NewBritain, Berlin. “We are allvery proud of our commu-nities, so we didn’t want tolose the identity,” he said.

Millerick also an-nounced that to launch thenew affiliation, Berlinbusinesses will be offered aspecial, half price mem-bership incentive for thefirst year.

“It’s called “100 for $100”and it will mean that thefirst 100 Berlin businessesthat join the new affilia-tion can join for half price,just $100 for the first year,”he said.

“Berlin members havegone through a lot in thepast year and leadershipfrom both organizationsthought it would be helpfulto offer an incentive to letthem know not only thatwe appreciate their loyaltybut to help them see all thebenefits of a full serviceChamber that they maynot be aware of,” Millericksaid.

“My sense is that Berlinbusinesses will discoverthat being part of a region-al Chamber with a local fla-

vor can be an enormous bene-fit, especially in this econo-my. I think we’ll see not onlya lot of Berlin members sup-port this affiliation but we’llsee a lot of businesses thatmay have been on the side-lines join in the effort.”

“In this economy, the toolsand services of Chamberslike ours can be a tremen-dous boost, a relatively smallinvestment,” he said.

Millerick credited the lead-ership of both Chambers’Boards of Directors and thesupport of the two Boards inbringing the two organiza-tions together.

“Ron Buccilli, chair inNew Britain, and Atty.Richard Pentore, chair inBerlin have been wise and pa-tient and thorough. The sup-port of board leadership,John Miller in New Britainand Paul Smith and Tom Sa-talino in Berlin, has beencritical in ironing out detailsand identifying areas thatneeded to be addressed.

“Along with other Boardmembers, they have been inregular contact and havecrafted a unique, pioneeringbusiness partnership.”

A group of Board membersfrom each Chamber will forman advisory committee tooversee the partnership go-ing forward. Additionally,the New Britain ChamberBoard of Directors will nowbe expanded to includeBerlin representatives.

Buccilli said one of thecritical factors in the futurepartnership was expandingthe networking opportuni-ties for member businesses.“We think our already suc-cessful networking tools will

be boosted immeasurably forall of the members,” Buccillisaid.

Miller credited the experi-ence and professionalism ofthe Berlin Chamber leader-ship in helping to successful-ly craft the agreement.“Berlin businesses shouldknow that their representa-tives really worked hard toensure that the Berlin Cham-ber would be a part of the re-gion in coming years. Theyhave been a pleasure to workwith.”

Pentore, chair of theBerlin Board said, “We areenthusiastic about theprospects of the affiliationand the resources that will beavailable to our members.The Berlin and New Britaincommunities have a histori-cal link, making this mergerboth logical and convenientfor our members.”

Longtime Berlin Chambermember and Board member,Paul Smith said, “Being in-volved in the Berlin Chamberfor more than 10 years, this isa natural fit for us and ourChamber members.

Two more Redcoats set tomake the leap to college game

Photo by Matt Leidemer

Berlin High School football players Devin Silvermanand Tommy Undercuffler, backed by family members,solidified their college plans last week during a cere-mony at BHS.

The Berlin High Schoolgirls basketball team han-dled host Bristol Eastern, 40-29, Friday and in doing so se-cured the Central Connecti-cut Conference South Divi-sion championship.

Chelsea Vujs and Court-ney Trzasko scored 12 and 11points respectively to pacethe victors.

With the win, the LadyRedcoats improved to 13-3overall and to 11-0 in the di-vision.

“First goal set by the teamwas to secure the CCC Southtitle,” Berlin coach SheilaKing pointed out. “The girlsworked hard to get thisdone.”

Without much height, ormany veterans to lean on,the Lady Redcoats certainlywere not a consensus pick tocapture the division champi-onship this season.

However, King knew her

troops had potential.“Whether they could workhard enough to get it donewith enough consistencywas in question,” said thecoach. “They proved theycould. Good for them.”

“They value the reputa-tion of the program andhave stepped up to the chal-lenge of continuing its suc-cess,” said King. “They haveaccomplished their firstteam goal, and look forwardto finishing the seasonstrong and moving on to thepostseason.”

It is said that historytends to repeat itself. Therewon’t be any argument fromthe Berlin High Schoolcheerleading team.

The Redcoats won theirfifth consecutive conference-level title, claiming theSouth Division crown, thispast weekend at the CentralConnecticut Conference


The Berlin High School cheerleaders shined this pastweekend at the Central Connecticut Conference com-petition.

By Nick CarrollThe Berlin Citizen

In what has become a regu-lar event in recent years, lastweek, friends and fans ofBerlin High School athleticsgathered at the BHS videoamphitheater to honor localathletes who will be takingtheir skills to the NCAA Divi-sion I or II level.

This time it was footballplayers Tommy Undercuf-fler’s and Devin Silverman’schance to bask in the spot-light.

A defensive back, Under-cuffler will continue his ca-reer at Yale University. Sil-verman, a kicker, will playfor Southern ConnecticutState University.

While family memberslooked on, and members ofthe media converged, the sen-ior duo signed their NationalLetter of Intent Feb. 1, thefirst day football players areallowed to do so.

“It’s definitely a great hon-or and a great opportunity,”Undercuffler said of joining

the Bulldogs. “I couldn’t haveasked for anything more, andI’m really excited for every-

thing, and I can’t wait.”“Everyone has been very

supportive; my family, myteammates, my coaches,”said Undercuffler. “I couldn’thave done it without them. Itruly have been blessed.”

Undercuffler dreamedfrom a very young age aboutplaying college football. ForSilverman, the idea didn’tcross his mind until eighthgrade – his first year in thesport. Up to that point, soccerhad been his focus athletical-ly.

“Once I made that switch Irealized I wanted to play foot-ball at the highest level possi-ble,” said Silverman. “I trulyenjoy the team comaraderie.I also enjoy training to be thebest kicker I can be. I lookforward to the challenges ofplaying at the collegiate leveland possibly kicking in thepros some day.”

Silverman said SouthernConnecticut offers a lot thathe is looking for as both a

student and an athlete. Theschool’s proximity to home isanother plus.

“After my official visit, thesize of the campus felt right.I was pleased with the coach-ing staff ’s philosophies, andparticularly, the importanceplaced on balancing thesport along with education,”he said. “As for location, Icould not ask for better.SCSU is far enough from thebest parents in the world,who I absolutely love, butclose enough for them to beable to come and watch mekick.”

Undercuffler and Silver-man were part of some magi-cal seasons with the Red-coats. During their careers,Berlin claimed its first statechampionship, and threeCentral Connecticut Confer-ence divisional titles. Thispast season, the Redcoatsearned their first-ever home

championships. The compe-tition, held at Bristol East-ern, drew 19 teams in fourdivisions. Berlin placedahead of Plainville, BristolEastern and Middletown inthe South Division.

Berlin won the Confer-ence Grand Champion titleas well, having the highestoverall score of all teams.This is the second straightyear Berlin has earned theGrand Champion distinc-

tion.“It’s very exciting,” Berlin

coach Debi Muzio said of herteam’s repeat performance.“It’s a great honor.”

The Redcoats overcamesome early difficulties intheir routine at the CCCcompetition, but managed tocontinue without missing abeat. “They are trained to dothat,” Muzio said. “Theyknow that if they have a fall,they need to keep going, keepsmiling. I’m really glad thatthey were able to stay fo-cused and keep going.”

In addition to the teamsuccesses, the Redcoats tookhome several individual hon-ors at the competition.Berlin placed five cheerlead-ers on the 10-member All-CCC South team: seniorsSamantha Kelley and LiaMcNamara, juniors NatalieHornberger and Quinn Mc-

Headinginto this week, the Redcoats were 7-3 in theCCC South, and with a break here and there,could climb to the top of the division stand-ings.

proving our passing game,”said Capodice. “At the time,Coach (Tony) Reno was onstaff as an assistant Yalecoach, before leaving to Har-vard. I thought ‘how greatwould it be to have a Redcoatfootball player play footballfor Yale University?’”

Reno has since taken overas head coach at Yale, whichran up a record of 5-5 in 2011.“Tommy will play for an out-standing head coach,” saidCapodice.

The BHS football pro-gram’s connection withSouthern Connecticut ismuch more solidified. For-mer Redcoats A.J. Marsiglia,Ras Morgan and Jack Coopercurrently play for the Owls.

“We have an excellent rela-tionship with the coachingstaff at Southern Connecti-cut,” said Capodice, “and Iam thrilled Devin will bejoining their program.”

Southern Connecticut fin-ished 7-3 last season and wasnamed ECAC Division IIFootball Team of the Year.

“I’m pleased with where we are,”said Day.

Sure, the Berlin High Schoolboys swim team is down this year.Even so, for Plainville, it’s alwaysnice to knock off its old rival.

“They’re rebuilding this year,but a win is a win,” PHS coachRandy Doucette said after his teamtopped the visiting Redcoats 103-77last week.

The win was just the second ofthe season for Plainville, a youngsquad. “It’s been a long time sincewe’ve had a season like this, but it’sokay,” said Doucette. “I love theway our kids are performing rightnow. It’s very gratifying to see.We’re hanging in there.”

The loss to the Blue Devils keptBerlin winless on the year.Doucette indicated the Redcoatsaren’t white flag-wavers, however.

“They’re a very spirited team,”he said. “They encourage everyswimmer that’s in the water. Theycheer them on.”

Doucette was impressed withBerlin’s Dan Klotz. “He’s an excel-lent swimmer,” he said. “He swamvery well.”

Klotz won two individual eventsthat day; the 200 freestyle, and the100 butterfly. Also, he helped leadthe 400 freestyle relay team to victo-ry.

Klotz went on to break a pair ofschool records (100, 200 freestyle)Friday in a 98-80 loss to Avon.

“We had some young men who re-ally got to experience their first keywins for us in dual meets,” saidBHS coach Jim Day, pointing to Bil-ly Conticello and Bao Le. “Havingthem come through, and having theguys that have been the core of ourlineup come through, enabled us topull off those wins.”

Earlier in the year, Berlin hadbeen going into battle with severalholes in its roster. Those spotscould have been filled, but Daychose to keep many of his guys atthe junior varsity level while theygained experience.

That’s exactly what happened.“It worked out the way I hoped it

would,” said Day. The wrestlerswho spent time at the junior varsitylevel are “much more aware of po-sition, and are much more confi-dent in the techniques that theyknow, and they’re hitting thosehard.”
