JUMPING RIGHT IN

Fifteen scouts and scout leaders from Boy Scout Troop 41 recently ventured to the Boy Scout high adventure camp Sea Base, located in the Florida Keys, approximately 20 miles from Key West. Designed to expose scouts to the ocean environment, and related water activities, the scouts participated in numerous physical challenges. These included paddle boarding, snorkeling in the world’s third largest living coral reef, kayaking through a mangrove maze, deep sea fishing, sailing, camping on a remote island, and touring Key West. Troop 41 is sponsored by Bethany Covenant Church, 785 Mill St., Berlin, and meets there weekly, Thursdays, 7:15 to 8:30 p.m. Stop by to learn more about the troop. | Photo by Lee Roski

World Suicide Prevention Day was recognized Sept. 10, during Suicide Prevention Week and mere days after the Berlin Police Department successfully intervened in a suicide attempt. According to Lt. Chris Ciuci, Officer John Flynn responded to a call involving a woman at-tempting to commit suicide in a public location and ar-rived at the scene in time to get the woman assistance un-til an ambulance responded to the situation.

“With recent high pro-file suicide deaths in the news, and 333 suicide deaths in Connecticut in 2013, it is important to remember that suicide is preventable,” Commissioner Pat Rehmer of the Department of Mental Health and Addiction Ser-vices said in a statement. “It is clear that high self-esteem, social connectedness, prob-lem-solving skills, support-

ive family and friends can protect individuals from sui-cide and suicidal behaviors. By working together at the state and community level we can save lives.”

Ciuci said an ambulance arrived to provide treat-ment for the woman who attempted suicide in Berlin. Police later found a suicide note. Anyone in Connecti-cut who is struggling with thoughts of suicide may seek assistance by dialing 211, and anyone in the nation may call 1-800-273-TALK (8255) to speak with a trained coun-selor at a local crisis center. It is important to note that you may also call the hotlines if you are seeking assistance as a friend or family mem-ber of someone you suspect may be at risk for suicide. A trained professional can give you advice on how to provide help. Suicide often occurs in conjunction with other men-tal health issues: over 90

Berlin will be in need of a new director of Economic De-velopment in the future as cur-rent director Jim Mahoney is moving to Maine. Mahoney, who served the town for more than a decade, said he will con-tinue to serve as Economic De-velopment Director for a few months, after which he will continue to assist the town in a reduced capacity from his new home.

Town Manager Denise Mc-Nair said by email that Ma-honey was “responsible for so much that this Town” and that

Berlin has been “very lucky to have him.”

McNair explained that Mahoney is not retiring, merely re-ducing his hours and involvement, and that the town will “still have the benefit of his expertise and work for a while— he will be working with us from Maine and will be back in town on an as-needed basis — the Coun-cil and the EDC have been very supportive of all of this and I look forward to working with him and the new Economic Director when that person is hired, to continue and to

build on what Jim has started.”

The project that had the greatest impact in his many years with the town, Mahoney said, is most likely the 2003 Plan of Con-servation and Devel-opment update. This included changes to

zoning regulations and was in-strumental in some of the eco-nomic development Berlin has enjoyed over the years, includ-ing the arrival of Stop & Shop. “The 2003 plan set forward a lot of the strategies” that the

The Board of Education discussed new teacher ori-entation, the special educa-tion summer program, and the possibility of holding a Saturday open house so that members of the public would be able to see the new areas of the school during their Sept. 8 meeting.

Assistant Superintendent Brian Benigni said that new staff orientation was a great success.

The district welcomed 28 new teachers this year, 11 of which were new to teaching. Teachers were familiarized with various computer sys-tems that the district uses. Following feedback from last year’s orientation, time was also set aside for new teachers to talk with cur-rent teachers in the district without administrators pres-ent. This allows them to ask questions they “may not feel comfortable asking with us there,” Benigni said.

The district is having diffi-culty finding qualified math teachers, according to Super-intendent David Erwin. Up-coming maternity leave is putting an even greater strain on the district’s mathematics staff. Erwin said there is a math teacher shortage state-wide, with 60 openings cur-rently across Connecticut.

Benigni said that feedback on the website has been positive.

The only drawback, the as-sistant superintendent said, is that some are finding it difficult to find information in the new organization that was previously located in different areas. However, the new design also offers a great benefit of consistency across every school, meaning that parents who have children in multiple Berlin schools will find it easier to find infor-mation across the different school’s websites.

According to Erwin, Berlin is currently planning to have 117 CHOICE students this year. The district attempts to admit between 3 percent and 4 percent of its stu-dents through the CHOICE program, which reimburses the district based on this percentage.

During a four-week sum-mer program for special education kids, the district partnered with Good Cause Gifts and Northeast Utilities, which have often opened their doors for local school-children to visit, accord-ing to Berlin BOE President Gary Brochu, who suggested the board consider award-ing a Berlin Bravo to these businesses.

Director of Business Op-erations Roman Czuchta said the high school had “a very successful opening,” and that the district is work-ing hard to address issues as they arise. Staff and students “were for the most part ex-cited with the new areas” and it was “exciting” to see students in the new radio station, Czuchta said.

It is estimated that more than 190 people attended Pa-gan Pride in Berlin at the VFW Sept. 6 according to event or-ganizer Wendy Hagen. Pa-gan Pride is an annual event intended to bring together the pagan community and to educate the public about pa-ganism. Attendees brought donations of canned goods or pet food to support the Berlin Food Bank and the Humane

Society.Paganism is an umbrella

term that describes a wide variety of beliefs and prac-tices according to a Connecti-cut Wiccan Pagan Network representative. The group of “spiritually minded people” includes Christians, Wiccans, and others.

The event featured a group meditation as well as a variety of vendors who offered Celtic jewelry, stained glass, clothing and other items.

CWPN is a non-profit orga-

nization that puts on a variety of events throughout the year including a celebration of the autumn equinox, a witches’ ball, a yule celebration, and a celebration of Samhain. Un-like many other faith organi-zations, there is no specific doctrine or belief shared by all of its members, but like other faith organizations, members come together to help families in need. The organization also supports scholarships. “It’s about coming together for each other,” a group represen-

tative said. More information about the organization can be found online at cwpn.org.

Pagan Pride is an interna-tional event started by Amer-ican pagans in the 1990’s to dispel myths about paganism. Most Pagan Pride events fea-ture food drives to benefit lo-

cal communities.

Passport program highlights state libraries

The Passport program has been proving very popular at the Berlin-Peck Memorial Li-brary, according to Head of Adult Services Carrie Tyska.

“We’ve had lots of people from other libraries com-ing to get their passports

stamped; we’re getting a lot of interest from people from other towns.”

September is Library Sign Up month, and libraries are offering patrons a passport that they can get unique stamps on at every library. Patrons can collect as many stamps as they like, making the practice of visiting li-

braries similar to letterbox-ing. At the end of the month, there will be a prize for the patron who has visited the most Connecticut libraries as well as a random drawing for participants. The final day to visit a library is Sept. 27.

According to the Con-necticut Library Association, “Every library has its own ar-

chitecture, vibe and collec-tion to explore and browse, so the hope is that everyone will make full use of CT’s unique facility to use one library card in any CT public library.” It is hoped the program will build awareness of the value of a li-brary card.

Some passporters have as many as five stamps from

other libraries. The program is still in the early stages, Tyska said, but it has been very successful in promoting the power of library cards.

The Planning and Zoning Commission discussed the potential of clarifying regu-lations regarding operating a business out of a home at their Sept. 11 meeting, spurred by a request from a local men-tal health professional to see patients out of a home office. The commission unanimously agreed that this usage met the requirements as written, but the commission discussed possibly clarifying regulations on these sorts of usages at a later date.

“I concur we are going to see more of it,” said Plan-ning and Zoning Chair Bruce Moore. One concern dis-cussed by the commission was the impact on neighbors and increased traffic. Vice Chair-man Kevin Murphy said that the current regulations do not

have anything regarding park-ing, cars, or driveways.

“It is something we should look at,” Murphy said.

Other possible concerns could include tightening reg-ulations regarding permitted hours of operation.

Currently, the rules specify that a home occupation is al-lowed only when it takes up less than 1/3 of the floor space of a single family home, and

there must be no visible ad-vertisements or evidence of the business use from the ex-terior of the home. Home oc-cupations may not have more than one nonresident em-ployee, and may not sell items that have not been made on the premises.

percent of suicides occur in conjunction with treatable mental health problems, in-cluding depression and sub-stance abuse, according to the Suicide Prevention Re-source Center.

All Berlin Police Officers are trained to assist individ-uals suffering from mental illness, and 11 officers have received specialized crisis intervention training from the Connecticut Alliance to Benefit Law Enforcement,

Ciuci said. Ciuci said the goal is for the department to have all officers attend this five-day training program.

“Suicide is the third lead-ing cause of death in Con-necticut among people aged 10-44,” said Pam Mautte, Re-gional suicide prevention coordinator for the Valley Substance Abuse Action Council area, serving Mid-dlefield, Durham, Meriden, North Haven, and others. Suicide was also among the top 10 leading causes of death overall in 2011, according to

the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, and al-though the top nine leading causes, which includes ac-cident and injury, dwarf sui-cide significantly and more than 15 times as many people die by heart attack alone than die by suicide, it remains a serious problem that is, more importantly, very pre-ventable. About four times as many men die by suicide than women, according to the AFSP.

Depression is the most common mental health is-sue that correlates with sui-cide, according to the AFSP, which suggests that there is a need for better diagnosis and treatment of depression by primary care providers. Forty-five percent of those who die by suicide had seen a primary care professional within the past month, and 77 percent had contact in the previous year.

According to Mautte, vol-unteers can get involved in suicide prevention efforts in a variety of ways. One is Out

of the Darkness walks, which raise funds and awareness for suicide prevention. The next area Out of the Dark-

ness walk will be held Oct. 5 in Hamden. Volunteers can

-Looking for a way to kill oneself

-Talking about feel-ing hopeless or having no purpose

-Talking about feeling trapped or in unbearable pain

-Talking about being a burden to others

-Increasing the use of al-cohol or drugs

-Acting anxious, agitated or recklessly

-Sleeping too little or too much

-Withdrawing or feeling isolated

-Showing rage or talking about seeking revenge

-Displaying extreme mood swings.

The more of these signs a person shows, the greater the risk. Warning signs are associated with suicide but may not be what causes a suicide.

If someone you know exhibits warning signs of suicide:

-Do not leave the person alone

-Remove any firearms, alcohol, drugs or sharp ob-jects that could be used in a suicide attempt

-Call the U.S. National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 800-273-TALK (8255)

-Take the person to an emergency room or seek help from a medical or mental health professional

IRS phone scam rampantThe Internal Revenue Ser-

vice and the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration continue to hear from taxpayers who have received unsolicited calls from individuals demand-ing payment while fraudulently claiming to be from the IRS.

According to the IRS, warn-ing signs that taxpayers should remember are that first con-tact from the IRS will not be a phone call, but through official

correspondence through the mail and that these calls are from angry, threatening people who claim they are from the IRS and demand immediate payment.

The IRS will never ask for credit card, debit card or pre-paid card information over the phone; never insists that tax-payers use a specific payment method to pay tax obligations; never requests immediate pay-

ment over the phone and will not take enforcement action immediately following a phone conversion. Taxpayers usually receive prior notification of IRS enforcement action involving IRS tax liens or levies.

Other characteristics of the scam include: scammers use fake names and IRS badge numbers. They generally use common names and surnames to identify themselves; scam-

mers may be able to recite the last four digits of a victim’s So-cial Security number; scam-mers may send bogus IRS email to victims to support the bogus calls; victims may hear background noise of other calls to mimic a call site; after threat-ening victims with jail time or driver’s license revocation, scammers hang up and others will call back pretending to be from the local police or DMV.

Caller ID supports the claim.Taxpayers who receive scam

calls should report the inci-dent to the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administra-tion at 1-800-366-4484 or the Federal Trade Commission, “FTC Complaint Assistant” at FTC.gov. Add “IRS Telephone Scam” to the comments of the complaint.

The September meeting of the Army Air Force Roundta-ble of CT, AAFRC will be held on Tuesday, Sept. 23, at 7 p.m., at the Masonic Temple, 9 Coun-try Club Road in Cheshire (off Rt. 10), with David Nastri as the featured speaker. Nastri will discuss the changing nature of the military during the Global War on Terror: a view from the ground on tactics, techniques and procedures.

Nastri served on active duty in the U.S. Army in the early 1980s and reenlisted in the Army National Guard after 9/11. He served as an infantry staff sergeant in the 102nd Infantry, and as a forward observer and operations NCO. In 2009, Nas-tri was deployed to Afghanistan as part of the 86th BDE Com-bat Team and operated under the 101st Airborne Division and

the 82nd Airborne Division in Laghman Province in eastern Afghanistan.

The Army Air Force Round-table of CT meets eight times per year on the fourth Tuesday of the month in September, Oc-tober, November and February through June. The roundtable is dedicated to the preservation of Air Force history, contributions and sacrifices in the defense of the United States, and to the memory of all those who have given their lives in pursuit of that objective.

Religious Briefs

Sister Mariette J. Moan, ASCJ, has accepted the posi-tion of Vicar for Religious for the Archdiocese of Hartford making her responsible for 715 Members of Consecrated Life in the Archdiocese.

The Vicar for Religious acts as an official represen-tative of the Archbishop in matters regarding Conse-crated Life. In this capacity, Sr. Mariette serves as his li-aison and offers pastoral concern, provides appropri-ate resources, and facilitates collaborative structures for leaders and members of the various forms of Consecrated

Life to enhance their vocation within the Church.

The ministry of the Vicar for Religious is primarily one of service: service to the Archbishop when acting as his representative; ser-vice to members of Conse-crated Life in areas essential to their growth; service to the archdiocese by supporting, in whatever way possible, the vocation to Consecrated Life.

Prior to becoming Vicar, Moan was the Director of the Office for Religious for the archdiocese. A member of the Apostles of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, she holds several de-

grees including a Bachelor of Philosophy from the Pontif-ical University of Saint An-selm in Rome; a diploma in Spirituality from the Pontifi-cal University of St. Thomas, also in Rome; a diploma in Pastoral Liturgy from Saint Paul University in Ottawa; a Master’s Degree in Music Ed-ucation from New York Uni-versity; a Bachelor of French from Southern Connecticut State University. Moan also did graduate coursework in Theology as well as Liturgy at the Pontifical Liturgical In-stitute of Rome.

PETS OF THE WEEK

Ziggy and Phantom are loving senior cats that appear to be Maine Coon mixes. Both love attention and being held. The boys are 10 years old so they understand that they might not go home together. An advantage to adopting a senior cat is that they have longer attention spans and good impulse control, making them more affectionate and quicker at adapting to their new home. Do not pass them up because of their age. Both are healthy and have many good years ahead. For more information, call (860) 828-5287. View all of the adoptable pets at www.fobac.org.

Josephine Francis (Geiger) Pulcini KENSINGTON — Jo-sephine Francis (Geiger) Pulcini, 93, of Kensington,

widow of An-thony Pulcini, entered into eternal rest p e a c e f u l l y on Monday, Sept. 8, 2014, at The Hospi-tal of Central

Connecticut, New Britain, with her loving family at her side. Born in New Britain, daughter of the late Leop-oldine and the late Joseph Geiger, she was the secre-tary for her husband’s busi-ness, Kensington Welding and Trailer Company, for many years. She is survived by two daughters and a son-in-law, Shirley Pulcini with whom she made her home, and Carol and Richard Paskiewicz, of Kensing-ton; a granddaughter, Dr. Tracy Paskiewicz, of Phila-delphia, Pa.; two brothers, William Geiger, of New York City, N.Y., and Raymond Geiger, of Atlanta, Ga.; and many nieces and neph-ews. A devoted mother to her daughters and grand-daughter, she loved spend-ing time with them and buying presents for them. She will be greatly missed.

At what cost?To the editor:

I am compelled to write in response to Berlin Property Owners Association Wil-liam Brighenti’s suggestion that the Berlin police should get rid of their unnecessary equipment including body armor and tactical gear to add available space to the current police department.

I would like to provide Mr. Brighenti with some infor-mation that may assist him with reevaluating his view. In 2013, 105 law enforce-ment officers were killed in the line of duty, 31 of which were the result of fatal gun-shot wounds. These deaths at the hands of violent crimi-nals are unfortunately one of the risks police officers face

every day across the coun-try. These “homicides” of law enforcement officers oc-cur in large cities and small “Mayberry” communities across the country.

Had Mr. Brighenti taken the time to research these statistics before suggesting that the Berlin police shed their body armor and tacti-cal gear he would have been aware that Bardstown, Ken-tucky (population 11,700) Police Officer James Ellis was shot and killed while removing debris from the roadway, and that Rockville, Iowa (population 1,039) Po-lice Officer Jamie Buenting was shot and killed by a bar-ricaded subject. These un-necessary deaths are only two examples of incidents that occurred in communi-

ties that would fit into Mr. Brighenti’s utopia of May-berry where crime rates are low and thus there is no danger to police and no need for officers to protect them-selves with body armor and tactical gear. Mr. Brighenti should also know that these officers left behind wives, children, and friends that will miss them forever.

The use of body armor by law enforcement is not new, and technology has allowed police the ability to wear these life saving devices comfortably under their uni-forms every day. The con-tinued use of body armor by law enforcement has saved the lives of over 3,000 police officers.

Doug BartolomeoBerlin

Must be pro-activeTo the editor:

This is in response to the article “Taxpayers’ group calls for police downsizing” that appeared in The Citizen.

I couldn’t believe what I was reading.

As to reducing staff, why is Mr. Brighenti basing the number of staff on the popu-lation and not on the square miles the department is re-sponsible for covering, which includes Kensington, South Kensington (home of the Chamberlain Highway), Berlin and East Berlin and our section of the Berlin Turnpike.

I have to believe that the members of the Berlin Prop-erty Owners Association have never had to make an emergency 911 call. I was in a serious accident that re-quired a 911 call – I am glad I did not have to wait for an of-ficer to get there, who could have been many miles away because we reduced staff. An ambulance was dispatched, traffic was controlled and my husband was notified.

Motor vehicle accidents,

injuries at home, down power lines all require addi-tional police presence beside the normal duties a police of-ficer does.

Also, the concerns we have regarding the safety of our students requires that we have a police presence in the schools.

How about the events that they cover – sporting events, the Berlin Fair, setting up for our parades and the charity runs that happen in town?

As far as equipment and the storage of same, this is another issue that is of con-cern to me. Why would we not want the officers in our town to be protected with basic – and sometimes spe-cial personal protective – equipment?

Aren’t we lucky that we haven’t had situations where we needed to use tear gas or other protective equipment?

I think we need to be pro-active and not have the “should of, could of, would of” mentality that seems to me would happen if we elim-inated what the police de-partment requires.

Senior’s handmade greeting cards treasured

A 92-year-old Berlin ar-tisan is crafting handmade greeting cards, for sale at the Kensington Garden Center on the Chamberlain Highway.

The “Cards by Nannan” collection features baby, birthday, get well, and thank you cards, all of them hand-made by 92-year-old Anne Wylchynsky.

“I never thought at my age, I’d be able to do anything like this,” Wylchynsky said. “Nannan” is Czechoslova-kian for Anne, Wylchynsky

explained. She can spend three to four hours an eve-ning on her craft. “I’ve got to keep busy.”

This local artisan is the aunt of Margaret Ellison, one of the owners of the Kensington Garden Center. Wylchynsky started mak-ing cards a few years ago through a class at the Berlin Senior Center. She contin-ues to attend the bi-monthly classes, which are usually on Tuesday mornings.

While most of the stu-dents limit their card mak-ing to their own family and friends, Wylchynsky thought

it was a good idea to make them for the family business.

“It’s such a good feeling to know I can make a card that people enjoy,” Wylchynsky said. “Everyone has a spe-cial friend and if they send them a special card, people just love it!”

A recent Garden Center customer was so impressed by the high quality and low price compared to mass-pro-

duced cards that she pur-chased a dozen of Nannan’s creations. Nannan will occa-sionally repeat a design, but most of her cards are one of a kind.

“I love to work with any kind of flowers,” Wylchyn-sky said, who notes the flo-ral-designed cards are a natural tie-in to the Garden Center. “I have most of the machines that I can make

embellishments with.”These include Cricut

and Martha Stewart craft punches. She also has a va-riety of paper stock as well as stamps.

Wylchynsky finds card making therapeutic.

“I will sit for awhile and ask myself, ‘What’s the best way to get the nicest card?’ It’s such a relaxing time.”

also seek training in QPR: Question, Persuade, Refer, which can help them inter-vene with friends or family who are at risk. The Wheeler Clinic, which has locations in

Plainville, participates in a variety of suicide prevention efforts throughout the state. The clinic hosts QPR train-ing events and is promot-ing the statewide “One word one voice one life” campaign, promoting the idea that by

having the courage to speak up, you can save a life, ac-cording to Judith Stronger, vice president of Wellness and Recovery. The clinic hosts “mental health first aid” training, and a variety of other training events, as well.

The clinic also hosts a branch in Plainville in the Connecticut Clearing House, a statewide library with re-sources and information on mental health issues. The organization provides the general community with in-formation, fact sheets, books, videos, and curricula.

The Wheeler Clinic’s Vice President of Outpatient and Community Services, Kim-berly Nelson, said that the clinic has a mobile response team that helps deal with crisis intervention without removing at-risk youth from their homes and schools. This team serves a variety of communities in the area, in-cluding Berlin and Plainville. “The goal is to keep kids out of the emergency depart-ment and prevent inpatient hospitalization,” Nelson ex-plained. Research shows the effectiveness of this ap-proach, Nelson said.

Another program involves visiting children in their homes multiple times per week, again with the goal of avoiding hospitalization.

Regulations

on the subject for the commis-sion to examine. According to these documents, plan-ning and zoning commissions statewide have to contend with a variety of issues sur-rounding home occupations. Problems may arise when businesses have a negative impact on neighbors. Many in the state have seen an increase in home occupations since the economic collapse of 2008.

The Town of Ridgefield has attempted to solve the prob-lem of home occupations by creating different sets of rules depending on the type of home occupation involved. For example, homeowners who work alone in their home

do not need a zoning permit. This allows, for example, tele-commuters to work out of a home office without needing to seek permission. Ridgefield has specific rules addressing traffic and display of merchan-dise, and does not allow retail sales to be conducted on the premises.

The commission hopes to update the regulations at a later date. One of the largest issues the commission is cur-rently addressing is a variety of proposed zoning updates, including the possible cre-ation of new “village” zones that would allow more mixed-use projects, similar to Depot Crossing, in the downtown area near the train station.

HARTFORD • A new medical clinic staffed by local physicians has opened in Hartford recently specializing in only one unique, niche area–men’s sexual performance. The Yale Clinic has an amazing offer - first 37 callers receive a free in-office medication dose.

Erectile dysfunction and premature ejaculation have long been a problem for millions of men in spite of the popularity of Viagra, Levitra and Cialis. Many men either are not helped by these medica-tions or cannot take them due to medical conditions and adverse side effects.

According to The Yale Clinic of Connecticut’s Medical Director, Dr. M. Sheldon Polsky, Board Certified Urologist and author of ‘Seven Secrets Doctors and Drug Companies Won’t Tell You About Erectile Dysfunction,’ “Our doctors offer a proven treatment with over two hundred doses of custom blended prescription medication that can help virtually all men regardless of their age or medical history, including men as young as twenty-one to well into their nineties, with diabetes, heart conditions,

prostate cancer, and high blood pressure. All drugs are FDA approved, no sur-gery is involved and patients will see a licensed Connecticut Physician”

Referred to as “the gold standard,” by the International Journal of Impotence Research, “Our treatment allows our local doctors to adjust the dosage for a man’s performance to 45-minutes, an hour, even 90-minutes,” according to Dr. Polsky, “and patients see immediate results in the office. We offer a simple guarantee: “If you don’t respond to our medication on the first visit there’s no charge.”

With that guarantee, local patients have nothing to lose. The Yale Clinic books appointments far in advance but occasionally can accommodate someone quickly. Yale assures patients of utmost privacy and professionalism and has private waiting rooms and an all-male staff. Further information is available by calling (203) 290-1665.

’Coats Notes: Solid start for locals

Boys soccerThe ’Coats season got off

to a rough start, losing to both Conard (5-1) and Bristol Central (1-0) in their opening week of play.

Berlin had a rough time keeping the ball out of its own goal against a tough Conard squad, giving up a hat track en route to the four-goal loss. Junior Jus-tin Park was able to find the back of the goal for the Red-coats while first-year varsity goalkeeper, senior Wojciech Kajzer, made six saves in the outing.

Things didn’t fare much better for the Redcoats in their final game of the week, falling to fellow CCC South foe Bristol Central 1-0. Ka-jzer recorded two saves.

Girls soccerThe Lady Redcoats re-

sponded to a season-open-ing defeat with a convincing win in their second contest to finish the opening week at .500.

Berlin fell in its sea-son-opener on Sept. 9 to Northwest Catholic, 2-0. Ju-nior goalkeeper Michaela Dehm recorded six saves in the defeat.

The Lady ’Coats walked away with their first victory of the 2014 campaign with a 5-2 win over Bristol Central. Senior Sarah Bosco proved to be too much for the Rams to handle, as the forward re-corded a hat trick. Junior midfielder Sophia Morell added two goals for good measure to give Berlin more than enough firepower to earn the W.

Dehm made seven saves.

Cross countryThe BHS boys and girls

began their season with strong dual meet perfor-mances before taking their talents to the Windham In-vitational this past weekend in Willimantic.

The ’Coats took on both Bristol Central and Bulke-ley in their respective sea-son-opening dual meets. The boys fell short against Bristol Central (16-40) yet were able to come away with the victory over the Bull-dogs (17-43). The girls won against both of their oppo-nents, beating the Rams, 23-38, and the Bulldogs, who didn’t have enough partici-pants to record a score. Ber-lin’s Michelle Grieco won

Both the boys and girls placed very well at the Wind-ham Invitational on Satur-day, as both squads placed in the top 10 during the second of three varsity races held throughout the day.

The boys f inished in eighth place out of 15 teams with a combined final time of 1:35:10. The squad was led by sophomore Dan Perales, who finished in 27th place with a time of 18:24. Juniors Connor Ladd (18:46), Jake Harris (18:57), Kevin Rus-sell (19:20), and Alec Berger (19:43) were Berlin’s other scoring finishers.

The girls finished tied for third with RHAM, as each school finished with 133 points. The Lady ’Coats finished with a final com-bined time of 1:49:50. Grieco once again led the charge as Berlin’s top finisher; she wrapped up the race in 21:08, good enough for 13th overall. Senior Taylor Lupini (21:35), sophomore Lisa Grieco (22:02), freshman Madison Marolda (22:26), and fresh-man Morgan Luciani (22:39) were the Redcoats’ other scoring finishers.

their season with a convinc-ing 3-1 victory over Bristol Central, 25-21, 20-25, 25-19, 25-18. The ’Coats were led by senior standout Abby Un-derwood, who led the way with 19 kills, eight aces, and nine digs. Berlin’s other de-fensive standouts included senior Nidhi Patel and junior Alex Perrone, both of whom had eight digs. Patel also was crucial in setting up her teammates. The senior re-corded 12 assists throughout the match, while junior Julia Lagace recorded 18.

Berlin wasn’t as success-ful in its match against Bris-tol Eastern, falling in three sets to the impressive Lanc-ers, 25-20, 25-15, 25-7. While the team struggled defend-ing against a strong BC team, the Lady ’Coats had no issues starting any of their rallies; the girls converted on 95.3 percent of their serves, with Underwood, Lagace, and se-nior Alyssa Germano going a perfect eight-for-eight on serve attempts.

BHS bests Lancers, begin season strong

Based on the final score and the team’s demeanor as they walked off the field, the average fan would have left Friday night’s season-open-ing Berlin football game against Bristol Eastern think-ing the team had been in this situation just last season.

While the Redcoats came away victorious in a 7-0 showdown with the Lanc-ers, it was difficult to re-mind oneself that Berlin failed to make the playoffs just a year ago with a record of 5-6. Bristol Eastern, on the other hand, went into Friday night looking to build off of last year’s impressive 9-2 campaign.

Yet it was a 14-yard pass from senior quarterback Alec Norton to a diving se-nior wideout, Eric Garcia, late in the second quarter that proved to be the differ-ence, as Berlin more than held its own to come out on top.

“I knew (Bristol Eastern was) very good, and they are very good, and I knew we would have our hands full. And it was an outstanding game, and everybody that

came out tonight definitely got their money’s worth,” BHS coach John Capodice said.

Norton, taking over for Mitch Williams – a three-year starter under center – looked poised through-out the evening, completing 7-of-12 pass attempts for 117 yards and the touchdown.

Garcia added another 25 yards on the ground, while senior Anthony Sisti and ju-nior Owen Taylor added 29 and 57 rushing yards, respec-tively. Sisti led all receivers with 47 yards and fellow se-nior Matt Kacyznski added 37.

“It’s an outstanding senior class. These kids put in a tremendous amount of time and made the commitment since last year … I couldn’t be happier for them with the victory tonight,” Cap-odice said. “We know Alec is a varsity athlete, and we have all kinds of confidence in him that he would come out and compete and not be scared of the lights.”

Yet the win wasn’t all first downs and easy plays.

While the defense played sound throughout the con-test, and the offense moved the ball just enough, Berlin’s

special teams did the Red-coats no favors, as the punt-ing game looked out of sync.

Junior Nick Perrone had to compensate for a few high snaps on punts that he was still able to kick away, while a muffed catch by junior Jake Loiselle on a punt return put the Lancers deep into Berlin territory with the game still knotted at zero.

Time and time again, though, Berlin’s defense proved to be too stout for Bristol Eastern.

The Redcoats stopped the Lancers deep in their own territory twice, both of which provided huge momentum swings for the hometown gridders.

Loiselle made up for his fumble with an interception with 2:25 left in the second quarter that set up Ber-lin’s scoring drive. Sisti also forced a fumble in the fourth quarter that was recovered by the Redcoats, allowing Berlin to chew up more time off the clock.

“To pitch a shutout against an outstanding team like Bristol Eastern … kudos to the players and the staff,” Capodice said.

Berlin will travel to Bloomfield Friday for its first

away game of the year. The Warhawks boast a record of 1-0 themselves after besting East Hartford 31-6 in Week 1.

year, 90-87.While winning is usually

associated with first place,

the ’Coats won based off of a team effort to help them take home the W.

“We speak about the im-portance of not necessarily

getting a first place in every single event, but really so-lidifying those second, third, and fourth places, and I think that spoke to our depth

(against Holy Cross),” BHS coach Andy Ahlberg said.

The girls had particular success in solidifying those all-important finishes by tak-ing second, third, and fourth place in the 200 meter free-style. Seniors Holly Chir-ico, Kelsie Anderson, and Courtney Nelson placed, re-spectively, to help Berlin ac-cumulate enough points to come away with the victory.

Yet it wasn’t all second place finishes that helped the locals seal the deal. The medley relay team com-

prised of senior Kayla Cer-voni, junior Olivia DeGroff, senior Arian Silas, and se-nior Kelsey Kozikowski won their event, and DeGroff had individual first place finishes in the 500 freestyle and the 100 breaststroke. Kozikow-ski also won both of her events, the 50 freestyle and 100 butterfly.

StateSupreme Court backs

wind energy regulationHARTFORD (AP) —

The Connecticut Supreme Court has sided with a state agency regulating wind en-ergy, rejecting a challenge by opponents of a wind power project.

In a decision announced Monday, the court ruled 6-0 that a trial court was correct to dismiss appeals by oppo-nents to the project by BNE Energy Inc. to build three wind turbines in Colebrook.

Opponents said the state Siting Council incorrectly determined it has jurisdic-tion and did not have “sub-stantial evidence” to back the height of the turbines.

The court cited the Gen-eral Assembly’s 2011 pas-sage of legislation directing the Siting Council to consult with state energy officials to adopt turbine regulations.

Joyce Hemingson, presi-dent of Fair Wind for Con-necticut, the opposition group, said the decision was “not totally unexpected.”

BNE did not immediately respond to an email.

Court to take up juve-nile sentencing problem

HARTFORD (AP) — Connecticut’s Supreme Court has decided to take up three cases that could de-cide how the state handles the convictions of children who commit murder and other violent crimes.

The court was to hear appeals Tuesday from in-mates who were sentenced to lengthy prison terms for crimes they committed while under the age of 18.

The hearings come af-ter two U.S. Supreme Court decisions that essen-tially prohibit mandatory life-without-parole sen-tences for juveniles in ho-micide cases, and require states to provide inmates with a “meaningful opportu-nity” for release in non-ho-micide cases.

In Connecticut, 14- to 17-year-olds charged with certain serious crimes can face adult prison terms, in-cluding mandatory life-with-out-parole sentences.

Chief State’s Attorney Kevin Kane says the court now has the opportunity to set new parameters.

Foley: traffic “shame-f u l ,” M a l l oy c l a i m s progress

NORTH HAVEN (AP) — Gov. Dannel P. Mal-loy says he has spent more money to improve Con-necticut’s transportation needs than prior adminis-trations, but his Republican challenger calls the state’s traffic woes “shameful” and says more needs to be done to increase the capacity of the state’s highways.

Malloy and Greenwich businessman Tom Foley ap-

peared separately on Mon-day at a transportation forum hosted by regional transportation groups.

The Democratic governor said after adjusting for infla-tion, his administration “is far outspending” prior ad-ministrations. He said more work would have been done but many projects were not ready when he took office three-and-a-half years ago.

Foley says efforts aren’t being made to expand the capacity on Connecticut’s roads and Malloy is trying to “push people out of cars” by focusing more attention on mass transit.

Nappier: Home Depot data breach affects Conn.

HARTFORD (AP) — Connecticut State Treasurer Denise Nappier is encourag-ing residents who may have used some of the state-is-

sued prepaid debit cards at Home Depot to take steps to prevent unauthorized use of their accounts.

The home-improvement chain has confirmed a theft that could have gone back as far as April and affected customers who used credit and debit cards at nearly 2,200 of its U.S. and Cana-dian stores.

Nappier on Sept. 12 urged action by holders of cards is-sued by JPMorgan on behalf of the state’s Department of Revenue Services, Depart-ment of Labor, Department of Social Services as well as the Department of children and Families.

The bank has notified Nappier’s office that 214 cardholders who used their cards at the retailer may be

Connecticut groups planning to join climate march

NEW HAVEN (AP) — Religious and labor groups are preparing for the Peo-ple’s Climate March, a planned demonstration in New York City for climate action.

U.S. Sens. Richard Blu-menthal and Chris Murphy were expected to appear last week in New Haven with the

Connecticut Roundtable on Climate and Jobs to encour-age people to participate in the march, scheduled for Sept. 21.

It’s scheduled two days before President Barack Obama and other world leaders gather at the United Nations for a cl imate summit.

Connecticut is expected to have one of the largest labor contingents at the march.

State transportation rep-resentatives helped broker an arrangement with Met-ro-North Railroad to offer discounted fares and greater capacity to accommodate Connecticut marchers.
