Berlin High School seniors crowded the halls of their school the evening of Jan. 13 to show off projects that represent the culmi-nation of their entire high school career in the capstone project expo.

Student projects asked a num-ber of questions, including how to improve relationships between state police and the community, how gaming affects adolescents, and whether and why a connec-tion exists between domestic vio-lence and professional sports.

This is the second complete year of the BHS capstone proj-ect, following a pilot program. “My understanding is that it is improving each year and the pro-grams are more rigorous,” Board

of Education president Gary Bro-chu said.

The capstone project asks students to combine various disciplines on a project that is meaningful to them. “The par-ents are always very excited to see what has been produced and they are excited to see not only what their kid did, but what oth-ers accomplished,” Brochu said.

Mitchell Pitkin, who plans to become a state police officer after attending college, did research to investigate how to improve com-munity relations between state police and local communities. Positive relationships with the community “are going to help us in the long run,” said Pitkin, who participated in the American Le-gion State Police Youth Week.

When talking with people, Pit-kin said he heard some have the

perception that state police are uncaring or intimidating. Pitkin met with police from Berlin and found that community events lo-cal officers participate in such as the Relay for Life could help improve relationships between police officers and community members. “I think that’s a perfect way… you’re not pulled over, and you’re not in any trouble,” Pitkin said.

Cornelius Roberts plans on studying photography in college. For his capstone project, Roberts studied chemical reactions in the brain to understand how art im-pacts the mind on a physical level.

“There is approximately a hundred thousand chemical re-actions happening in your brain every second,” said Roberts, who

Illegal street drugs are a serious concern for law enforcement, and the Berlin Police Depart-ment is no different.

While Berlin has been fortunate in that drug usage and dealing is low compared to neighbor-ing cities such as Meriden and New Britain, the local police are on guard for drug dealing and cultivation operations.

According to Berlin Detective Sergeant Chris-topher Tralli, his department has come across several types of illegal drugs in various arrests.

SECOND-HALF SURGE

The Berlin High School girls basketball team drained eight 3-pointers and rolled to a 60-37 CCC South victory over visiting Maloney Jan. 15. Alyssa Germano, pictured, had 14 points to power Berlin, which improved to 6-4 overall and 5-1 in the South. Maloney (1-10 overall, 1-5 South) led 20-17 at halftime, but the second half was all Lady Redcoats.

Local singer-songwriter hitting the right notes

Berlin High School gradu-ate Faith Ziegler, 19, has been nominated in the best female performer of the year cate-gory for the New England Music Awards.

“I’m so excited and so hon-ored,” Ziegler said.

The teenager said she has been interested in music since she was “3-years-old, singing the Lion King. I al-ways loved it.”

The best female performer of the year award is the most prestigious honor Ziegler has been up for thus far. Last year she was a nominee for the Connecticut Music Awards.

Ziegler seeks to put per-sonal experiences into her music. “Things I’m going through that people can re-late to,” the singer-songwriter said. “I’m trying to get peo-

ple to connect or feel bet-ter about certain situations. When I listen to a song and connect to it, that takes it to another level.”

Ziegler was featured in The Citizen when at the age of 15 she performed an original song “Walking all over me” for Teen Rock America.

“Don’t let the bullies and bad comments get to you. At the end of the day you are good enough and you can be your own person and follow your dreams, because in the end everything will be okay,” the then-BHS junior advised her peers.

At the age of 17, Ziegler re-corded her first album, “Fi-

nally Dreaming.” Two years later, she still feels that the song “Hey Brown Eyes” is some of her best work. She recalled writing the song at 2 a.m. then recording it only a few hours later.

“I’m still shocked about how fast that happened,” Ziegler said Jan. 16, explain-ing that the music simply came to her. “I don’t even have proper words for that song. I’m so proud of it.”

Drugs

There is one drug in particular he and his fellow officers have seen too much of.

“Heroin is the biggest drug problem we encounter,” Tralli said. “The Berlin Turnpike is a conduit for drug activity going to and from the larger cities to our north and south. Our Patrol Division has officers trained in drug interdiction and what to look for to com-bat this illegal activity. Clearly the majority of it comes from dealers outside of town.”

Heroin has become a major health issue in Connecticut. The last few years statewide deaths from the drug have in-

creased from 174 in 2012 to 257 in 2013 according to the Con-necticut State Medical Exam-iner’s Office.

In the past two years, Ber-lin has experienced two fatal drug overdoses. In both cases, heroin was the culprit.

Heroin is a highly addictive opiate and many people fall under its spell after becoming addicted to painkillers. While painkillers are expensive and can be difficult to come across, heroin is inexpensive and not difficult to attain.

Tralli stated that, often times, heroin addiction will lead to crimes of larceny and burglary as users seek to sup-port their habit.

Other drugs seen by Berlin police include cocaine and de-

signer drugs such as Ecstasy. For law enforcement, en-

countering people under the influence of illegal sub-stances – hallucinogens such as PCP and LSD in particu-lar – can lead to dangerous confrontations.

“Several years ago an in-dividual stripped down na-ked on the Berlin Turnpike at 11 or 12 at night,” Tralli re-called. “The person was flail-ing around on the ground just trying to get what he thought was imaginary snakes off of his body. He was on PCP and it took four officers just to sub-due him.”

“These people can get very violent and confused,” Tralli said. “Thing could get out of control, quickly.”

There is one drug Tralli has not seen in town but is

very concerned about, meth-amphetamine – crystal meth. The National Institute on Drug Abuse states that long-term usage of this drug can cause severe health problems. Changes in the brain are often permanent.

“Crystal meth is the drug we are the most fearful of coming into town,” Tralli said. “It’s an insidious drug that is much worse than heroin; just what it does to the body and how highly addictive and quickly it hooks people. Heroin is a deadly drug, but meth is even worse.”

While street drugs often grab headlines, it’s a legal drug, alcohol, which wreaks the most havoc. According to the National Institute of Al-cohol Abuse and Alcoholism, nearly 88,000 people die an-

nually from alcohol related causes. In 2012, nearly a third of all fatal automobile acci-dents were a result of alcohol impairment.

In the last two years, Ber-lin police made 165 arrests of people driving under the in-fluence and responded to two fatal car accidents caused by excess alcohol consumption.

“When police respond to an incident, drugs can ramp things up and lead to more conflict.” Tralli said. “Al-though it is not illegal, alcohol is the most common drug we deal with. Everyone reacts dif-ferently under the influence of alcohol, and for officers re-sponding to calls with persons under the influence it’s just another unknown variable to deal with.”

Expo

studied dopamine, serotonin, and noradrenaline reactions specifically. “Basically, those three chemicals regulate how you feel,” Roberts explained.

It was her younger broth-er’s use of social media that inspired Kristen Madeia to ex-

amine the effects social media has on young people. “I didn’t focus on the overall effects, I focused on the negatives,” said Madeia, whose project zeroed in on the risks of heavy social media usage.

Among the risks Madeia discovered are “like anxiety” and “FOMO (fear of missing

out) anxiety,” related fears so-cial media can cause. Users of social media may experi-ence tension over how many “likes” their posts and im-ages gather, while worry over missing out prompts users to constantly check social media accounts. Madeia also found research that suggests heavy Internet usage correlates with unhappiness.

The most visually strik-ing project on display at the expo may have been the large wooden bear put together by Sarah Bosco, who studied the process of assembling a three-dimensional object out of wood.

The large, bear-shaped wooden rocking horse she created served as a practical demonstration of the tech-nique, which involves start-ing with a cutout on paper that is traced onto foam lay-ers. The layers are then num-bered and assembled, after which each shape is cut out of pieces of wood. Once those wooden pieces are stacked and glued together, the inside of the object can be hollowed out to make the finished prod-uct lighter and easier to move. “Then you just squish the halves together,” the creator said.

“This is by far the most elab-orate thing I’ve made,” said Bo-sco, who has been interested in woodworking for years. Other projects she has completed in-clude a chess board and a jew-elry box clock.

Meet Masonicare resident Ruth Crawford. Ruth first lived independently in the Hawkins Apart-ments on the Wallingford campus. When she required more care and physical therapy in 2013, however, she moved into the Health Center.

Ruth loves the entertainment offered at Masonicare, especially the Western concerts, visits from the daycare children, and the writing class. “I’m calling my story ‘I Remember When’ says this “can-do” lady who went back to college and graduated at age 75!

Ruth and CNA Sarah Wallace have a great relation-ship. “She’s tops. She knows just what to do and when, and makes me feel secure.” For her part, Sarah speaks from the heart: “The residents are like my family — they are the grandparents I never had. I’ve learned so much from them.”

The Public Works Department reminds residents of the local ordinances that ap-ply to the removal of ice and snow from public roadways.

Property owners are not allowed to shovel, throw or plow ice and snow from private property into, or across a public street. These actions are strictly prohib-ited and subject to a written warning and/or $100 fine as noted in the Town of Berlin Municipal Code.

Residents are responsible to clear snow and ice from any public sidewalk fronting along their property. All sidewalks are to be cleared and/or sanded within 24 hours of the completion of street plowing oper-ations. It is the responsibility of the prop-erty owner fronting that sidewalk to make it safe for public travel. Failure to comply

will subject the abutting property owner to a written warning and/or $100 fine as noted in the Town of Berlin Municipal Code.

No Parking Bans become effective auto-matically (or at the discretion of the Direc-tor of Public Works) whenever there is an accumulation of four (4) inches or more of snow and ice on any of the streets of the town. No Parking Bans will terminate no sooner than eight (8) hours after any snowstorm, or as directed by the Director of Public Works.

Any vehicle left parked on the street af-ter such No Parking Ban has taken effect, will be towed and subject to a fine and all towing and storage charges.

For more information, call the Public Works Department at (860) 828-7022.

Snow and ice removal rules

Berlin recently acquired five properties that were not bid upon during the town’s tax sale, which has brought in $377,674 in revenue for back taxes. In addition to the col-lected revenue, these proper-ties will now have new owners to pay annual taxes on them.

The tax sale proposal was passed by the town council in a 4-3 vote last year.

The attorney hired by the town, Adam Cohen, was paid $10,000 out of the proceeds as compensation for work done on properties that did not sell, which have now been acquired by the town as a re-sult of the tax sale process. The town was charged a dis-counted rate of $2,000 per property that did not sell. The attorney’s fees are not charged to the town for a successful sale, but instead come out of the sale itself.

As The Citizen reported, the town previously received an additional $104,000 in back taxes that paid by property owners who received demand letters from Cohen, beginning the tax sale process. Property owners who pay back taxes prevent the tax sale process from beginning, Berlin’s Tax Collector, David Kluczwinski,

explained May 1. Mayor Rachel Rochette said

May 1 that the town works with struggling families who are making efforts to pay back taxes. “We really tried to iden-tify those property owners that were delinquent and were not making an effort to pay.”

The town has full discretion in which properties should be subjected to tax sale, which are only authorized for res-idents who owe more than $10,000 in taxes and have been delinquent for more than three years, or who owe more than $20,000 and have been delinquent for two years, as the state recommends.

Tax sales are faster and less expensive for municipalities than foreclosure, which can result in towns incurring con-siderable expenses to become the owners of unsaleable properties.

Kluczwinski said that prop-erties referred to Cohen for tax sale are “the 1 percent of property owners who have made no effort and no communication” regarding their tax bills after years of attempts.

Student ‘sleep-out’ shows solidarity with homeless

SOUTHINGTON — First Congregational Church on Main Street welcomed high school students who attend Plantsville Congregational Church, Gishrei Shalom Jew-ish Congregation and the Ber-lin Mosque Friday night to a “sleep-out” intended to show solidarity with the homeless.

About 35 students from the four houses of worship planned to brave single-digit temperatures with below-zero wind chill factors and sleep at least part of the night in home-made cardboard box shelters in First Congregational’s park-

ing lot.“It had to be one of the

coldest nights of the year,” said Barbara McKay, Plants-ville Congregational’s youth director.

“I am happy there’s no snow on the ground,” said the Rev. Dawn Karlson, First Congre-gational’s pastor for youth and family ministry.

Karlson organized the event, which she hopes will become an annual tradition.

She emailed other local churches to invite them to participate.

“Our church really got ex-cited about this,” McKay said.

Students enlisted sponsors to financially support their

participation, she said. Dona-tions were also accepted.

The money raised will be given to Southington Commu-nity Services to help fund the agency’s programs that assist the homeless.

Karlson kicked off the night by having the interfaith group stand in a circle and hold hands.

“Thank you for all standing together” against homeless-ness, she said.

Marci Baxter, Gishrei Shaom’s youth adviser, said people from different reli-gions can find common cause in trying to aid the homeless.

“It’s an issue for everybody,”

she said. “There’s something we can all do about it.”

“I think it’s an important thing to get our youth to-gether,” added Aida Mansoor, a Sunday School teacher at the Berlin Mosque and pres-ident of the Muslim Coalition of Connecticut.

“It’s excellent to get people to start thinking about home-lessness,” she said

Gishrei Shalom’s youth program is part of the North American Federation of Tem-ple Youth, a Jewish youth organization that is “big on social action,” Baxter said.

However, students need to take part in experiences like the sleep-out in order to grasp the meaning of that ideal, she said.

“Those are just words until you do something like this,” she said.

Dan Epstein, NFTY’s Northeast representative and

a Cheshire High School se-nior, joined the Gishrei Sha-lom contingent to support the Baxters and to gather with peers from other faiths to grapple with the issue of homelessness.

“I like (socially) active teen-agers,” he said. “I like when teenagers talk about import-ant things.”

After Karlson’s introduc-tion and a few ice-breaker games, the group was slated to see a program on homeless-ness and conduct an outdoor prayer vigil for the homeless, after which they would assem-ble their box shelters.

The police and fire depart-ments had been notified of the sleep-out and were prepared to respond in case of emer-gency, Karlson said.

Students were scheduled to spend two-hour shifts in the

Ben Gaedeke, a junior from Plantsville Congregational, was one such hardy soul.

“I wanna feel what (the homeless) feel for a night,” he said.

Letters to the Editor

Awe-inspiring dedicationTo the editor:The Santa Express is undeniably one of

the highlights of our holiday season. A fire truck outlined in bright lights, with sirens and Christmas carols ringing out, along with a visit from Santa Claus is every child’s dream around the holidays. Together, you have created something truly magical! I have had the most delightful experience of watch-ing my children stand in disbelief during your visit, only to relish in the excitement long after you are gone and have moved on to the next house. I can only hope this be-comes a holiday memory that my children will remember for a long time to come as I am sure many residents now do.

However, through the eyes of an adult and

a parent, I too relish your visit long after you are gone. I appreciate during this busy time of year that Santa, of all people, along with the members of the Kensington Vol-unteer Fire Department take the time away from their families to make this possible. Behind the Santa Express is what I believe to be one of the true meanings of the season – spreading joy. It is not lost on me the time commitment and dedication that goes into, not just the Santa Express, but also into your positions as volunteer firemen and women within our community all year. Your dedica-tion, service and commitment is exemplary, unsurpassed and awe-inspiring. I wish you and all your families a safe and happy 2015! Thank you for “spreading the joy!”

At first it sounds like a story of only local interest: McDonald’s wants to tear down its restaurant on North Colony Road in Wallingford and rebuild it, smaller. That’s right: as reported Jan. 6, the plan is to ditch the kiddie corral — that is, the PlayPlace in the front — and shrink the building to make room for a two-lane drive-thru. A few thoughts:

I wonder how we got to a time when the archaic word “through” is disappearing in favor of “thru” — as in “drive-thru.” I’d like to blame our neighbors to the west, with their New York State Thruway, but that modernistic word actually predates the building of their famous highway system.

More to the point, I think we can read quite a bit into the plan for 680 N. Colony. If statistics about the fast-food industry are to be believed, almost two-thirds of the revenue at a McDonald’s now comes in through the drive-up window, and I can’t help noticing how empty the dining areas of many of these Scottish restaurants look these days — how few people you see sitting down in their kilts and enjoying some haggis as you drive through (or thru). Oh, many locations do have a kaffeeklatsch of local old-timers who gather each morning, but once they drive off in their Buicks, the dining area is largely wasted space. (For whatever rea-son, drive-thru sales account for only 38 percent of the business at chicken restaurants.)

alarmingly empty, from a profit-per-square-foot point of view, is the PlayPlace — that is, if the location even has a PlayPlace, which not too many McDonald’s (“McDonaldses”? “McDon-ald’ses”?) do. Why? Well, probably because most kids, like their parents, never get out of the car; they’re too busy scarfing down burg-ers and sugary drinks in the back seat. And maybe the parents are worried about other kids’ germs, or possi-ble injuries. And then there must be corporate folks who are only too happy to get rid of the tot-atorium, because it provides so many opportuni-ties for lawsuits.

Suffice it to say that a nat-ural appetite for profit is driving the need for the two-lane drive-thru — which, it seems, will come with improved “speaker clarity” and the addition of work-ers called “auto greeters.” (We may have encountered these guys already; when the person at the window looks like she couldn’t pos-sibly be the deep-voiced fellow who took your order, I wonder whether the voice on the speaker might actu-ally be coming to you from McD headquarters out in Illinois, maybe even from

a Hamburger University undergrad.)

Anyway, one place that already has two lanes is the McDonald’s on the Ber-lin Turnpike in Newington, which once was an old-timey “golden arches” loca-tion and a hangout for teens, so long ago that it offered a burger, an order of fries and a shake for 15 cents each — the 45-cent McDonald’s “meal.” (That’s right, I’m one of those old-timers, too; I just haven’t picked up my Buick yet.)

Where was I? Oh, for more information along these lines you can go to mcdon-alds.com (“A place where a little lovin’ conquers all”), and read all about how Dick and Mac McDonald opened McDonald’s Bar-B-Q Restau-rant in San Bernardino, Calif., in 1940; and how Ray Kroc opened his first Mc-Donald’s in Des Plaines, Ill., in 1955 and his 100th restau-rant just four years later and his 5,000th (in Kanagawa, Japan) in 1978; and that Nov. 20 was designated “McHappy Day” in 2002; and that the Shamrock Shake was first offered nationwide in 2012.

Now, isn’t that interesting?

The Berlin Water Con-trol Commission was given an award recently by the Connecticut Department of Public Health and the Centers for Disease Con-trol and Prevention – the Water Fluoridation Award of Recognition.

“This award recognizes public water systems that adjust the fluoride concen-tration in drinking water and achieve a monthly optimum fluoride level for 12 consec-utive months. The Berlin Water Control Commission operates the Elton Road Well which is both chlori-nated and fluoridated. Water is also purchased from the New Britain Water Depart-ment whose water is also fluoridated,” Commissioner Dr. Jewel Mullen said in a statement.

Mullen said “this award represents a high level of op-erator care.”

The Berlin Water Con-trol Commission praised its field staff in a press release: Wayne Bugay, Charlie Satkowski and Mi-

chael Perzanowski “whose diligence and professional work has earned them this recognition.”

Fluoride is a mineral that is naturally found in water sources people were drink-ing for all of human history. Although health experts hail fluoridation as one of the greatest public health pol-icy successes, organizations such as the Fluoride Action Network have seen success in anti-fluoride advocacy.

The Fluoride Action Net-work argues that fluoride may have the “potential to reduce human intelligence.” But experts disagree. In fact, FAN admits that Dr. Myron Allukian “stated that the Harvard team found only ‘a half point difference in IQ’ between the children from high-fluoride and low-flu-oride areas. According to Allukian, ‘a half point differ-ence in IQ is meaningless. That’s like saying, we mea-sured all the people in New York and Chicago and in New York they were a half millimeter taller.’” FAN goes on to argue that this half of one percent difference is significant in the face of Al-

lukian’s assertion that a 0.5 percent difference is nothing more than statistical noise. Scientific American points out the study has been thor-oughly refuted.

At the same time, FAN is hardly impotent. Only last year, it reveled in victory when Portland, Oregon vot-ers rejected fluoridation for the fourth time.

While FAN argues flu-oridation is harmful, the World Health Organization is hoping to see the practice catch on in more countries, especially poorer countries where dental care is less available. The CDC, mean-while, has hailed fluorida-tion as one of the 10 greatest public health achievements of the 20th century, along with recognizing the harms of tobacco.

I spoke with pediatric dentist and Middlefield res-ident Daniel Shoemaker to make sense of this. Shoe-maker agreed that fluo-ridation is a great health achievement. “Tooth decay has become epidemic among our youngest children,”

Flouride

Shoemaker said, “Early Child-hood Caries (cavities) are on the rise.”

With studies showing “fluoridated communities can show up to a 60 percent decrease in caries,” Shoe-maker thinks fluoridation is “amazing.” Though caries aren’t life-threatening, they are a leading cause of absence from school and work and are expensive to fix. As a re-sult, fluoridation is a practice that may have the greatest benefit for the poorest citi-zens – something Scientific American and Gawker eagerly pointed out following Port-land’s anti-fluoridation deci-

sion. The CDC estimates that every dollar spent on fluori-dation saves $38 in dental bills — an impressive ratio.

Water fluoridation has been practiced since the 40s, following studies on com-munities with naturally high fluoride in their water supply. After being instituted, water fluoridation encountered op-position, with some detrac-tors opposing government making health decisions for citizens. In the 50s and 60s some claimed water fluorida-tion was a Communist plot to reduce the intelligence of the citizenry and make it easier to control – a claim that seems suspiciously echoed by FAN’s concerns.

WHO and the CDC agree that fluoridation’s benefits

outweigh its risks. It is true that fluoride can

cause health problems in large doses, which is why public water supplies seek to control fluoride levels. Some private wells have fluoride at higher than recommended levels due to fluoride’s natural presence in the water. At recommended levels, the CDC says that the primary risk of fluoridated water is dental fluorosis.

“I do have parents rightfully concerned about fluorosis and the effect of too much fluoride,” Shoemaker said. He explained that being exposed to too much fluoride in child-hood can cause the condition. When excessive amounts of fluoride are ingested during the time when teeth are devel-oping underneath gums, the excessive amount of fluoride can cause white streaks to ap-pear on teeth. “These changes are barely noticeable and dif-ficult to see except by a dental health care professional,” the CDC says. FAN, however, ar-

gues that fluorosis can cause “significant embarrassment and anxiety over the appear-ance” of teeth.

The condition “can only occur in young children,” Shoemaker explained, as it exclusively affects teeth de-veloping underneath gums. “My advice to avoid fluorosis would be to not use fluori-dated water to mix with (in-fant) formula,” Shoemaker said. The CDC agrees, add-ing that children should be breastfed.

Shoemaker said that par-ents concerned about fluo-rosis should be much more concerned about their young children swallowing tooth-paste than fluoride in drinking water at recommended levels. “Fluoridation has been stud-ied over and over and it has been repeatedly shown that using the right amount cor-rectly is effective in reducing or stopping dental decay,” Shoemaker said.

“Most toothpastes have flu-

oride in them and it is meant to be spit out and not swal-lowed,” Shoemaker said.

“For children aged 2 to 6 years, apply no more than a pea-sized amount of fluoride toothpaste to the brush and supervise their toothbrush-ing, encouraging the child to spit out the toothpaste rather than swallow it,” the CDC recommends. Once teeth have developed the risk of fluorosis has passed.

I asked Shoemaker how the average person can evaluate health claims, when both sides can claim experts, studies, and statistics. “For the average person it can be very difficult to tell the difference between a true scientific study and someone’s personal opinions,” Shoemaker said. “Especially with the accessibility of the Internet, anyone can publish anything that they want. I per-sonally look for peer-reviewed studies printed in known sci-entific journals.”

For the ordinary person, the CDC and WHO are good sources for information, Shoe-maker said, as are the web-sites of the American Medical Association and the Amer-ican Academy of Pediatric Dentistry.

“Sometimes, the best infor-mation is going to come from your own trusted medical or dental provider who has al-ready sifted through the stud-ies and can present the facts,” Shoemaker said.

’Coats Notes

BOYS BASKETBALL

Another tough week for the boys saw the team’s winning percentage continue to drop after a 0-2 stretch knocked them to 3-6 on the year.

The Redcoats began their week with a frustrating 47-35 loss to Bulkeley. After falling behind 14-5 after one quar-ter, Berlin struggled to get back in the game and found itself down big at the half, 27-12, a deficit that proved to be insurmountable.

Senior Dominic Nuzzo led the way for the Redcoats with 10 points, while juniors Evan Cornwall and Jake McCarthy each added five points. Junior Kyle Mahoney scored four.

The boys’ week soured further following a 68-58 loss at the hands of the Ma-loney Spartans. Although the contest was close at the half, when Berlin trailed 41-34, a poor third quarter that saw the Redcoats score just five points proved to be their downfall.

Junior Evan McKinnen led way with 18 points while Nuzzo added 14. McCarthy and senior Adam Litwinko both scored six points apiece.

GIRLS BASKETBALLThe Lady Redcoats went

2-0 this past week to improve to 6-3 for the season follow-ing strong victories over two CCC South foes.

Berlin crushed Bulkeley by a final count of 75-26, as the game was well in hand after a 21-2 Redcoats’ first quarter advantage. The Lady Red-coats doubled up their scor-ing efforts in the second frame to head into the half up 42-7. Berlin outscored the Bulldogs in every quarter.

Senior Alyssa Germano led the scoring barrage with 15 points as sophomore Nina D’Amato and senior Sam Bi-

linsky added 10. Bilinsky also added three blocks. Junior Sam Lynes, sophomore Al-yssa Grant, and junior Me-gan Pskowski each scored seven points, as 12 players in all scored for the Redcoats. Junior Alex Perrone had a strong all-around game with four points, five assists, and five steals.

The local girls kept the good times going with a 60-37 victory over Maloney to finish their week.

Despite two strong open-ing quarters from the Red-coats, Berlin led just 27-20 at halftime. The Redcoats began to separate themselves from their foes in the third quarter with a 20-11 advantage.

Germano led the way with 14 points, while Grant and Lynes added 10 each and D’Amato contributed nine. Bilinsky was once again a force, scoring eight points and adding four blocks. Per-rone dished out eight assists.

WRESTLINGThe Redcoats enjoyed a

strong performance at the Ea-gle Classic Tournament this past weekend, as the team finished third out of 16 teams with 181.5 points. Berlin fin-ished behind Newtown and Windham, both top 10 teams in the state.

Janney

Writers’ Alliance, P.O. Box 70, Unionville, CT, 06085.

Craig JanneyAfter leading Enfield High

to a perfect season and a Di-vision I title in 1983, Janney went on to become one of the state’s most successful hockey players. He played in 880 NHL games over 12 sea-sons, competing for six dif-

ferent teams.In his rookie season of

1988-89, Janney placed fifth in the Calder Trophy vot-ing, won by his former Bos-ton College teammate and fellow Connecticut product, Brian Leetch. The follow-ing year, Janney scored the game-winning goal in Game 7 of a playoff series against the Hartford Whalers, but the Bruins fell to Edmonton in five games in the Stanley

Cup finals.On Feb. 7, 1992, Janney was

traded to the St. Louis Blues for another playmaking cen-ter, Adam Oates. Janney en-joyed his biggest statistical season in 1992-93, registering 82 assists and 106 points.

Janney spent his final five seasons bouncing between the San Jose Sharks, Winni-peg Jets/Phoenix Coyotes, Tampa Bay Lightning and New York Islanders.

He retired following the 1998-99 campaign with 751 points in 760 regular-season games, and 110 in 120 playoff contests.

Janney was named All-State three times, amassing 125 goals and 137 assists. He played his senior season at Deerfield (Mass.) Academy, where he racked up 33 goals and 35 assists in 17 games.

Tracy LisLis has held the state’s ca-

reer scoring record in both boys and girls basketball for a quarter century.

A four-year starting shoot-ing guard at Killingly High, Lis scored 3,681 points in high school and broke Wal-

ter Luckett’s all-time scoring mark.

A decade ago, Lis was among the 15 players se-lected to the Big East Con-ference’s Silver Anniversary team. She played for Provi-dence College from 1988 to 1992 and remains the pro-gram’s career scoring leader with 2,534 points and ranks third all-time in Big East ca-reer scoring. Her No. 22 jer-sey was retired by the Friars last spring.

Lis was a two-time All-Big East First-Team selection as a junior and a senior and earned Big East All-Tourna-ment accolades three times.

In 1990, Lis helped guide the Friars to their first Big East Conference Tournament championship and advance to the NCAA tournament round of 16. In 1991, she helped pro-pel Providence to its highest national ranking (15th) in the Associated Press poll.

Lis played professionally in the American Basketball League for the New England Blizzard.

John PagliaroPagliaro was a high school

football star at Derby, lead-ing the Red Raiders to back-to-back undefeated seasons in 1972 and 73.

He rushed for 1,047 yards on 137 carries and scored 26 touchdowns as a senior to help Derby earn the No. 1 ranking in the writers’ Top 10 poll. In his final high school game, he rushed for five touchdowns against Shelton. The 5’10, 190-pound Pagliaro also played defense for a unit that recorded eight shut-outs and surrendered just 25 points in his senior year.

At Yale, he became the first back to rush for more than 1,000 yards in succes-sive seasons. He twice was named the recipient of the Asa Bushnell Cup, presented to the Ivy League’s most valuable player. He graduate as the career leader in rush-ing touchdowns (34), a mark that stood for 30 years, and second to Dick Jauron on the career rushing yardage list (2,476).

In his final game at Yale in 1977, Pagliaro rushed for 172 yards and three touch-downs to lead the Bulldogs over Harvard. The win se-cured Yale’s first outright Ivy League title in 10 years.

Pagliaro was coached by two Gold Key recipients — in high school by Lou DeFilippo and at Yale by Carmen Cozza.

Pagliaro lives in Maryland and works as a media exec-utive. His son John played defensive back at Yale, grad-uating after the 2010 season.

John Kuczo

For more than three-and-a-half decades, John Kuczo has been the driving force behind one of the most successful high school athletic confer-ences in state history.

In fact, the longtime com-missioner of the FCIAC is one of only two individuals asso-ciated with the league all 54 years of its existence. Ralph King, a 2008 Gold Key winner and now assistant commis-sioner, is the other.

Kuczo’s association with the FCIAC began as a 23-year-old coach in 1961, the same year a group of Fairfield County ath-letic directors, coaches and principals including his fa-ther — legendary Stamford High coach and 1958 Gold Key winner Paul Kuczo — formed the first major conference in the state. He became an FCIAC administrator as secre-tary-treasurer in 1968. He held that title for 10 years before taking over as commissioner in the fall of 1978.

In 2006, he received the Thomas R. Monahan Honor Award, the Conn. H.S. Coaches Association’s highest award for professional educators. He was inducted into the National High School Coaches Associa-tion Hall of Fame in 2011.

Notes

Three Redcoat wrestlers made it to the championship rounds, with Devon Reilly (182 pounds) winning his re-spective class with a 3-2 de-cision. Nick Aborio (106) and Jeremy Eliades (170) also made it to the finals, losing by an 8-4 decision and pin, respectively.

Yet Berlin’s representation didn’t stop there; five other wrestlers made it to the fi-nal four in their individual classes. Drew Mals (132) and Zach Pampuro (152) each fin-ished third while Josh Veleas (120), Zach Veleas (138), and Vin Biscoglio (195) took home fourth place finishes.

Berlin’s success at the Ea-gle Classic comes on the heels of coach Jim Day re-cording his 500th victory during the recent Art Powers Duals, which the Redcoats swept last weekend.

“I’ve had the opportunity to work with outstanding young men and women on our teams, and I’ve had out-standing co-coaches,” Day said. “And nothing like a mile-stone like that comes without a team effort; and it’s always been about the team.”

BOYS SWIMMING AND DIVING

Although the Redcoats have yet to earn a team win on the season, the continued development of the team is an encouraging sign for the aquatic group.

Berlin fell to both Man-chester (93-87) and South-ington (90-75), yet saw better times all around and received contributions from all over as the boys appear to inch closer and closer to that elusive first win.

Against Manchester, soph-omore Thomas Wejda fin-ished his 50 meter freestyle in 24.11, an impressive number as the youngster continues to vie for state qualification. Ju-niors Adrian Wojtun and Nick Baruffi were also impressive in the 100 breaststroke and 500 freestyle, respectively. Baruffi’s time was four sec-onds off his personal best.

In the matchup with South-ington, sophomore Kevin Klotz swam the 200 individ-ual medley for the first time

this season, and qualified for states while doing so. Junior John Long also swam in the individual medley for the first time this season and, in doing so, dropped 23 seconds off of his best time from last year.

Wejda, Klotz, senior Dan Paszkowski, and sophomore Joey Leary also had an im-pressive four-man relay against Southington’s finest.

“They’re really starting to show no hint of hesitation or doubt in the way they’re swimming, which is fantas-tic,” said coach Dan Thurston.

CO-OP HOCKEY

The Newington-B er -lin-Manchester hockey team moved to 6-4 following a 1-1 week.

The boys began their week with a 3-2 overtime loss at the hands of E.O. Smith-Tolland.

Both teams mirrored the other’s scoring output in each period, as the game was tied 0-0, 1-1, and 2-2 at the close of each frame, before Nick Mayer netted the winner for the Bucks.

Luca DiPaola and Aaron Lassen scored for the Indians,

while Berlin resident Cam Criniti added 15 saves.

NBM was able to end their week on a better note with an overtime win in a 2-1 decision over Hall-Southington.

Despite falling behind 1-0 after the first period, the In-dians tied the contest at one in the second frame on a Di-Paola goal. It wasn’t until Dante Gugliotti’s overtime goal with 2:49 remaining in the extra period that NBM was able to celebrate. Criniti needed only 11 saves to record the victory while lowering his goals against average to 2.4.

Berlin is to receive $739,604 as grant-in-aid from the state, House Majority Leader and Berlin state Rep. Joe Aresimo-wicz announced Jan. 12.

The funds were approved by the bond commission ear-lier this month.

Mayor Rachel Rochette said by email the money would go into the general fund and will “partially offset the expendi-tures associated with roads as allowed by the statute, such as paving, tree removal, debt service associated with road improvements, and treating

icy roads.”“This funding is crucial to

our municipalities,” Aresimo-wicz said in a statement. “It is vital to helping our town de-termine their budget and en-suring that Berlin is able to meet our community’s needs. We made a promise not to cut municipal aid and I am proud that we have been able to de-liver on that promise.”

Aresimowicz pointed out that Berlin is currently revi-talizing the downtown area

near the train station, and that the grant would help support the town’s infrastructure.

“Berlin is grateful to hear that we have been awarded a municipal grant,” Rochette said in a statement. “Major-ity Leader Joe Aresimowicz’s leadership, hard work and dedication to the town of Berlin allows us to work with him and the legislature to en-sure that we are able to con-tinue to provide the services our residents expect.”
