Town enters agreement for annual water system repairsBy Monica SzakacsThe Berlin Citizen

As is the practice everyyear, the town requests out-side services for a contractorto perform routine, emer-

gency and minor repairs forthe Water Control Commis-sion in regards to the waterand sanitary sewer system.

This year on Sept. 6, thecommission opened bids forthe contract and there were

five responses. Two contrac-tors were awarded the agree-ment for the remainder ofthis fiscal year, recommend-ed by the WCC: Primary lowbidder, D&S Sewer Contrac-tors, of Kensington, and sec-ondary bidder, Tobacco &Son Builders, of Bristol, ac-cording to Town ManagerDenise McNair.

This means D&S SewerContractors will be the main

servicer and Tobacco & SonBuilders are back-up or areavaliable for special items.

Arthur Simonian, publicworks director and town en-gineer, said the WCC re-quested that the contractorsadd in dollar amounts for allthe items on the bid forms,which included items suchas tri-axel trucks. Some ofthe contractors did not bidon all the items. By not doing

that, it made it difficult forthe town to compare allitems.

“We did try to give themthe benefit of the doubt of atleast taking the items thatcontractors did submit on,and do that for some of theother contractors, who sub-mitted on all the forms, tosee if there is and difference

Bakery known for its Italian bread celebrates 30 yearsBy Monica SzakacsThe Berlin Citizen

When Santos Motta, co-owner of Sanremo Bakerylocated on Farmington Av-enue, was 9-years-old, he in-jured his arm from a bicycleaccident. To exercise his el-bow, his parents put him towork rolling dough for breadbecause the back and forthmotion was therapeutic forhis joint.

“I didn’t mind the workand after that, I started toenjoy the art of bakingbread,” he said.

Throughout his life, Mot-ta worked at his parent’s

bakery in Hartford. Thirtyyears ago, Motta and hiswife, Rita Motta, decided toopen a bakery in Berlin onMother’s Day.

“The Italian bread is verypopular and is the only itemwe sold at the bakery whenwe first opened,” Rita Mottasaid. “We make the breadfresh here at our store.”

Over the years, the bakeryexpanded with stuffedbread, homemade pizza,lunches, pastries, Danishesand cookies. The bakeryalso caters events all aroundthe state.

Every holiday season,while families are out shop-

ping at crowded malls anddepartment stores, Rita Mot-ta looks forward to spendingtime in the bakery for thosespecial occasions.

“Around the holidays wedo cookie trays, especiallyfor Christmas, and Easterbread for Easter,” she said.“It’s just something reallyextra that we do for familyfestivities and the bakerygets really busy. Everythingelse is repetitive on a dailybasis, so it’s nice to changeup our menu and it’s part ofour family tradition.”

The bakery is named afterthe popular tourist destina-tion of Sanremo, Italy — thecapital town of the ItalianRivera — also known as the“city of flowers.” The land ofSanremo expands up to theFrench boundary, with aMediterranean climate onthe sea coast.

The Motta’s son, JohnnyMotta, 31, has been workingfull time at the bakery for thepast five years. He overseesthe wholesale accounts andis a primary bread baker.

“It’s a lot of work becauseit’s a long process, but I lovethe art of making bread justlike my father,” he said.

What some might notknow, the process of creat-ing the dough and baking thebread can take half of a dayto make. According to John-ny Motta, it starts with mix-ing the dough, cutting it intoindividual pieces and lettingit rise for the first stage.Once the dough has risen, ithas to be rolled out into the

Santos and Ritta Motta, along with their son Johnny,are proud of their bakery’s success.

loaf of bread. The breadthen needs to rise again be-fore it is baked in the oven.

The speed of the doughrising depends on the hu-midity in the air. The colderthe room is, the longer ittakes for the bread to rise.

“I mean, you make adjust-ments to the water tempera-ture and the amount ofyeast you’re using, but onvery humid days everything

rises extremely fast,” hesaid. “It’s more so the hu-midity in the air, rather thanthe temperature outside.”

Johnny Motta said he in-tends to take over the familybusiness. Sanremo Bakerycurrently has no plans forexpansion to other towns,but he said it could be a pos-sibility in the future whenhe becomes owner.

State receives federal grant for NHHS railroad programGov. Dannel P. Malloy and

the U.S. Department ofTransportation announcedthe $120.9 million in FederalRailroad Administrationfunding for Connecticut toadvance the New Haven-Hartford-Springfield RailProgram and Berlin Stationis part of the line. The latestfunding is the third of threeFRA grants for the program.

Collectively, the state and

federal government are part-nering to invest a total of$365 million, including$141.9 million from the Stateof Connecticut, along theline to reduce trip times, im-prove reliability, add capaci-ty, improve safety, and reno-vate four Amtrak stations inBerlin, Wallingford, Meri-den and Hartford.

Once the project is com-plete in 2016, 11 additional

round-trip trains will travelbetween Hartford and NewHaven, for a total of 17 trainstraveling the line, comparedto six today. The state’s long-term vision for the NewHaven to Springfield linecalls for operating up to 25daily round-trips and trainspeeds are expected to in-crease from 79 mph to 90mph.

This phase of the project

is expected to create or sus-tain about 9,000 jobs, but thetotal project will create orsustain even more jobs, ac-cording to Malloy.

“Investing in new masstransportation opportuni-ties will undoubtedly im-prove congestion on ourroadways, create new eco-nomic development opportu-nities and improve our resi-dent’s overall quality of life.

But perhaps most important-ly, it will create jobs – rough-ly 13,000 of them for thisproject alone,” Malloy said.“Achieving this milestonemeans we can complete thedesign and construction ofnew track, signal and com-munication systems, bridgeand station infrastructureimprovements between New

ovation.What do you think is the

purpose of the Board ofEducation and why do youwant to participate?

The purpose of the Boardof Education is to ensure thatchildren are placed in an en-

vironment that instructsthem in the fundamentals(math, science, history, geog-raphy, etc.) and provides elec-tives (music, art, sports,clubs, trade instruction, etc.)to enhance their education.My goal is to become an ac-tive member of the educa-tion community, so all thechildren of Berlin receive aproper education and the ad-

ditional opportunities statedpreviously, in order to reachtheir full potential and pur-sue their separate interestsin the future.

Tell voters why you arequalified for the office youseek and what they can ex-pect from you.

I know I will bring a differ-ent perspective to the Boardof Education from my engi-

neering experience in indus-try. This profession re-quires an individual to applymath, science and ingenuityto assess and solve problemsof varying complexities.Furthermore, I am oftenfaced with situations that re-quire me to adapt and impro-vise in order to meet strictdeadlines for a project. I havedetermined that inquisitive-

ness and effective communi-cation have been the method-ologies most beneficial insolving a majority of theproblems faced in my careerand life. If elected to theBoard of Education, I willuse this approach in assess-ing and solving problems theboard is faced with. Lastly,my focus will be on the indi-vidual student. Each studentwho attends our schools hasvalues, interests, talents, andmotivations unique tohim/her. It is my belief that itis the responsibility of theboard and the community toprotect and preserve a cli-mate that allows these stu-dents to reach their full po-tential, in order to pursuetheir separate interests in thefuture.

According to police, thewoman was brought to thefirst-aid building by mem-bers of several fire depart-ments who were near the bullring during the time of theincident.

Berlin Fair PresidentMark Neumann said theemergency service team ofpolice and fire respondedquickly “with great expertiseand I’m so proud to knowthem.”

“There were no other seri-ous injuries or accidents atthe fair,” Neumann said.“Overall it was a happy andgreat fair.”

This year’s attendeeturnout was higher than lastyear with food booths soldout by the end of the threeday extravaganza, accordingto Neumann.

The U.S. food truck, whichstores and refrigerates all thefood for the festival, ran outof burgers and baked pota-toes by Sunday evening andthe Berlin Lions Club coffeebooth sold over 800 cinnamonbuns, a new Berlin Fair deli-cacy. Neumann said all com-munity vendors reportedhigh success that topped lastyear.

“A lot of the credit goes tothe efforts of the volunteersplanning and setting up thisyear’s fair,” he said. “Monthsand months of hard workpaid off.”

Although it rained duringthe nights of the festival, noparking spaces were lost, dueto an improved drainage sys-tem. Friday’s grand openingenjoyed sunshine with thelargest crowd for the week-end. Neumann said he thinksSunday’s gathering of fair-goers was down because theweather forecast showedclouds, rain and cooler tem-peratures.

Many smaller entertain-ment acts were successful,with standing room only,

such as Dan LaRosa’s Come-dy Hypnotist Show, accord-ing to Neumann.

“Every performance waspacked, and it was funny too,to see people under hisspell,” he said.

Country singer CraigCampbell’s concert had aturnout of over 2,100 peoplefor Saturday evening, but itwas a different story for Dia-mond Rio. Right as the bandwas to perform on Sunday itstarted to rain, causing peo-

ple to leave the carnival ear-ly.

Nemann said he is proudthe Berlin community high-lights the agriculture com-munity since, “farmers arethe root of the town andfarming is what feed the peo-ple.”

“A lot of children in theyounger generations havenever seen a sheep or cow be-fore, so I think it’s wonderful

course of the last 100 years.“I’m probably not as peppy

as I used to be, but I feel pret-ty much the same way I al-ways have,” Hubert said witha smile, who now resides in aretirement village inCromwell and was a Berlinresident from 1953 to 1983.

William Howard Taft waspresident of the United Stateswhen Hubert was born onSept. 26, 1912, in Westbury,N.Y.

He looks back on his child-hood fondly, “My dad Georgewas an outdoors man wholoved to canoe and camp withhis three boys at Fire Island,located off the southernshore of Long Island. My

mother (Florence) was asinger who had a beautifulvoice.”

Throughout his life, Hu-bert has had a number ofbrushes with people andevents that would make his-tory. At the age of 15 he sawCharles Lindberg, the firstperson to fly solo around theglobe.

“One day, I packed twosandwiches, skipped schoolwith a couple of my class-mates and rode over withthem by bicycle to CurtissField in New York whereLindberg was practicingtakeoffs with The Spirit of St.Louis,” he said. “At one point,he barely cleared the top ofthe old hanger.”

Possessing a love of music,Hubert learned to play the pi-ano early on, and eventuallyfound himself performing inthe early 1930s as part of acombo that played theCatskills and “speakeasies.”

A few years later, havingread about PresidentFranklin Roosevelt’s CivilianConservation Corps — whichput young men to work, dur-ing the depression, rebuild-ing roads and parks through-out the U.S. — Hubert signedup with the “CCC.” He spent

1933 traveling to Oregon, Ida-ho and California where hehelped build fire towers.

“I was paid $1 a day, but itwas worth every penny,” hesaid. “I did have the chance topan for gold in California,too. I even found about oneounce that was worth $30.”

In 1940, with World War IIcapturing everyone’s atten-tion, Hubert was drafted intothe Army. Stationed in Eu-rope, he found himself inNormandy on June 6, 1944 —“D Day.”

“The Germans had decid-ed to make one more push,”he said of the fateful battle.“If they hadn’t run out ofgas, things might have beenvery different.”

Prior to leaving for theArmy, Hubert had marriedhis wife Mary Kate on Dec.11, 1941, a young lady he hadmet in 1939.

The couple would havefour children: Don Jr., twindaughters Alice and Deanand Charles. All were raisedin Berlin; Charlie still lives inKensington. The couple wasmarried for 58 years beforeMary Kate passed away in1999.

Returning to the U.S., theHubert’s settled in Arlington,

VT, in 1947, where Hubertfound a job as an industrialarts teacher. He also becamefriends with the town’s bestknown resident, painter Nor-man Rockwell who paintedportraits of Hubert’s twosons.

A few years later, lookingfor career advancement, Hu-bert wrote to a friend in Con-necticut, Russ Ketchum, thenhead of the Connecticut De-partment of Education. Hewas told school officials inBerlin were searching for anindustrial arts teacher. Hu-bert applied, interviewed forthe job and was hired. Hetaught at Berlin High Schoolfor 21 years.

“We lived on 88 Hudson St.,so each morning I would walkover to the high school, thenat night, back home again,”he said. “Back then, Berlinwas much more of a farmingcommunity.”

Thanks to his Steinway up-right piano that he owned foryears (and which his greatgrandchildren Nate andAnna still have in their pos-session), Hubert also becameknown throughout Berlin forhis musical talent. He be-longed to the Berlin Congre-gational Church Choir whereit “made some beautiful mu-sic.”

Upon his retirement fromBHS in 1973, Hubert took uphis “favorite hobby” full time– restoring player pianos. Hestill has one and plays today.He continues to recanechairs, too.

Hubert attributes hislongevity – in part at least – tohaving kept things simple.“I’ve never been one to go infor anything fancy,” he said.

There are still one or twothings that Hubert would liketo accomplish.

“I’ve been to YellowstoneNational Park, but that’s theonly one,” he said. “I’d like tosee all the rest of them.”

am at the forefront of new ed-ucational initiatives andstate legislation, which im-pacts our schools.

What do you think is thepurpose of the Board ofEducation and why do youwant to participate?

The purpose of any boardof education is to establisheducational policies, whichcreate an environment thatprovides the best opportuni-ties for teachers to teach andstudents to learn. The pur-pose of a board is not to mi-cromanage or administer theschools, but rather to build aframework in which admin-istrators and teachers canwork effectively to maximizethe potential of every stu-dent. In pursuing this goal, aboard will be required to pro-vide the necessary resourcesto create that framework. Thechallenge to the board, how-ever, comes with the realiza-tion that the community’s re-sources are not limitless. It isincumbent upon the board,as it builds the school budget,

to understand and appreciatethe financial constraints ofthe community. I still main-tain a strong interest in edu-cation and I believe that I cancontinue to contribute to mycommunity, its educators andits students.

Tell the voters why youare qualified for the officeyou seek and what theycan expect from you.

My 40 plus years in thefield of education has provid-ed me with insights intoteaching and learning, whichI believe would be a valuableasset to a board of education.As the board develops policy,I can provide the perspec-tives of an administrator,teacher and student. Theseperspectives can also be ofvalue when developingschool budgets, as I wouldhope to provide creative waysof addressing educationalneeds. I certainly don’t pro-fess to have a remedy forevery issue that will come be-fore the board, but what vot-ers can expect is that I willlisten to their concerns,weigh their advice, and in thefinal analysis, advocate for

what I believe to be in thebest interest of our Berlinstudents. During my tenureas a high school administra-tor, I attended Berlin Boardof Education meetings on aregular basis. In some in-stances I was an observerand in other cases a presen-

ter. I’ve learned over theyears that the style, effective-ness and perception ofboards change with itschanging memberships. Ihave observed boards thatwere conscientious andthoughtful, others that werecontentious and insensitive,

and still others that werecompliant and complacent. Ithink for a board to be effec-tive, it requires memberswho are passionate about ed-ucation and capable of see-ing the big picture and theplace that schools have inour community.

CouncilContinued from page 1

predicts the town will savemore money with all ofPhase I back out to bid.

There are potential valueengineer items, which in-clude an underground stor-age/fuel tank and a dust/airhandling system, that wereidentified on the last set ofdesign drawings. The con-struction team did not haveenough time to estimatethose items before the projectwent out to bid. According toSimonian, those items can bescaled back, because it in-cludes more environmentalfeatures than required.

Another feature that wasincluded in the first set ofdrawings was a budget forwinter protection — heatingfor the interior of the build-ing, while masonry work wasdone inside.

“If all works out well, thesite labor and the exteriorwork would be done in De-cember/January with a threemonth window for the build-ing to come on site,” Simon-ian said. “Hopefully, byMarch/April the weatherstarts to warm up and we canstart doing the interior workwithout the extra winter pro-tection of heating the build-ing.”

Simonian also said send-ing Phase I out to bid, hope-fully for the first week of No-vember, will potentially gen-erate more competitive bidsbecause contractors are lessbusy during this season thanin summer, meaning contrac-

tors will bid lower in order toreceive work.

Construction drawingsare 35 percent complete atthis point. According to in-formation provided by SilverPetrucelli and Associates,the drawings are expected tobe 100 percent ready for esti-mate by FIP Construction inearly December. Once thedocuments are completedwith cost estimates, theBoard of Education and PBCwill have time to review theset to make sure the renova-tion is consistent with pro-gram and state needs.

Because of the time frame,Smith and PBC recommendmore dialogue to go on whilethe development of the con-struction drawings is occur-ring. This allows BOE to seethe progress, rather than get-ting all the drawings at oncein December to review andmake an opinion on the docu-ments in a short period oftime.

“Even after we submit thedrawings to the state in Jan-uary, there’s still going to besome changes that the statewill have, but obviously wewant the drawings to be ascomplete as possible so theycan go to state for approval,”Simonian said.

According to Denise Mc-Nair, town manager, all par-ties involved with the projectare on the same page at thispoint.

“We are hopeful that theanticipation of the begin-ning of Phase I will begin inNovember, perhaps Decem-ber of this year, with an an-ticipated completion date ofMay or June of 2013, with theconstruction of Phase IIstarting next summer — ifeverything aligns,” she said.

Also discussed at the meet-ing was the hiring of Con-sulting Engineering Ser-vices, of Middletown, to con-duct a peer review of the me-chanical, electrical andplumbing systems, based onthe set of construction docu-ments. CES will be hired for$26,000, which will comefrom project funds.

PBC also accepted the rec-ommendation of an advisorycommittee consisting of twoBOE members, two councilmembers and two membersof the public to participate inpre PBC meetings with ar-chitect and program man-agers.

Mayor Adam Salina saidthe council wants to appointmembers for the advisorycommittee during its nextmeeting.

“We need to define whatthe committee will be doing,with the major goal of com-munication,” Salina said. “Iwant everyone to know thepremise of having this com-mittee together and whatkind of information we needto get out to the public.”

Berlin Fair

Less bull, more sense neededCommentary

By Nick CarrollThe Berlin Citizen

I’m still trying to wrap myhead around the now infa-mous “bull attack” at theBerlin Lions Fair. You know,the incident which led to awoman being airlifted toHartford Hospital by LifeStar.

How on earth was the con-test that resulted in thiswoman’s injuries – the Ringof Fire – allowed to takeplace? Who thought thiswould make a good additionto the fair?

It boggles the mind.When I heard someone

was knocked unconsciousby a bull at the fair, I figuredan innocent person hadstrolled too close to a pen, ora bull had escaped.

Nope.Here’s what happened:

Several fair-goers, includ-ing the aforementionedwoman, a 31-year-old namedTina, willingly stepped intoa large, enclosed ring with abull. They shelled out $20apiece to enter this Ring ofFire, with the hope of turn-ing that investment into alarger cash prize. I’ll explainthis later.

Anyway, the seven brave –some may say misguided –folks made their way to awhite chalk circle at the cen-ter of the arena, and as theunfortunately titled song“Wipeout” played over theP.A., a bull was released intothe ring.

Then, in what should havecome as a surprise to exactlyno one, the powerful – appar-ently agitated – animalcharged directly at the con-testants huddled together inthe circle, knocking several

of them down like bowlingpins. While those five Ringof Fire participants pickedthemselves up from the dirt,dazed, the bull turned its at-tention to the last two peoplestanding. Tina was one ofthose.

Thankfully, this storydoesn’t have a tragic conclu-sion. Tina’s injuries werenot reported to be life-threating. Also, she pocket-ed the prize money for beingthe last person standing inthe chalk circle. Her takewas a 100 bucks.

The Ring of Fire was partof the Xtreme Team bull rid-ers’ show. The Xtreme Teamhas performed at the BerlinFair the past two years. TheRing of Fire was not part ofthe show in 2011, however,and I’m guessing there willbe no such event going for-ward at the Berlin Fair.

Now, Berlin Lions do a lotof good. They’re generous,selfless, hard-working peo-ple. But, clearly, someonefrom the Lions should haveput the kibosh on the Ring ofFire idea. And if the Lions

didn’t know what the XtremeTeam had planned for thefair, well, why didn’t they?

Of all the parties involvedin this bizarre ordeal, thebull’s actions make the mostsense.

Connecticut Departmentof Transportation Commis-sioner James P. Redeker saidthe first phase of construc-tion – the installation of un-derground communicationcable – will begin later thismonth. By the end of 2016,with the funds that are nowin place, the entire corridorbetween Hartford and NewHaven will be double-tracked.

Redeker said a key compo-nent of the investments is in-stallation of state-of-the-artgrade crossing protection to

ensure safety along the entirecorridor.

This program is a result ofa strong partnership withAmtrak, freight railroadsand members of the NewEngland Compact, represent-ing all New England states,New York and Quebec. TheNHHS rail corridor is a criti-cal link in the 2030 vision foran expanded rail transporta-tion network serving theNortheast, which was devel-oped and endorsed by theCompact.

In a week of Berlin-Plainville battles,edge goes to the Redcoats

By Nick CarrollThe Berlin Citizen

The Berlin boys soccer team notched itsbiggest win of the year Oct. 3, a 2-1 victory overtwo-time defending Central Connecticut Confer-ence South Division champion Plainville atScalise Field.

The Blue Devils often got the best of the Red-coats over the past few seasons, although thematchups were tight.

“They’ve been taking it to us,” BHS coach DaveFrancalangia conceded.

“They’re the conference champions the past twoyears. I have a lot of respect for (PHS coach) TimBrown, and what he’s done with the program overthere.”

Heading into last week’s matchup, Plainvilleonce again sat atop the CCC South standings, unde-feated at 6-0.

“Our defense was phenomenal; clearing balls leftand right,” Francalangia said. “There was a good15-minute span in the second half when the ballwas in our end, and we maintained our compo-sure.”

Francalangia highlighted the defensive play ofSteve Petrario, who just recently began seeing var-sity action. “Every game he’s done a spectacularjob,” he said.

The coach went on to praise his entire defense,which is anchored by goalie Brian Bostrom.“They’ve kept us in the games,” he said. “We’vedone a very solid job defensively.”

BHS makes short work of Weaver, improves to 4-0By Mark Pukalo

Special to The Citizen

The Berlin football teamsimply had to stay focused andsharp when it visited winlessWeaver on Saturday.

The Redcoats’ performancein the first quarter answeredthat question quickly, produc-ing four touchdowns on theway to a 47-0 victory.

“The defense played well andour offense executed, which al-lowed us to get to an earlylead,” Berlin coach JohnCapodice said. “Offensively, wefinished our drives and mini-mized penalties.”

Justin Gombotz scored threetouchdowns, two rushing andone receiving, and quarterbackMitch Williams passed forthree scores for Berlin (4-0),ranked ninth in the state in arecent poll.

The Redcoats got things

rolling with a Gombotz 34-yardtouchdown run and he fol-lowed that up with a 10-yardtouchdown reception fromWilliams. Kyle Young inter-cepted a Weaver pass to set upWilliams’ scoring strike toTyler Bouchard and Gombotzcapped the first quarter withanother touchdown run for a28-0 lead.

Gombotz had 82 yards rush-ing and Scott McLeod 43against Weaver (0-4), both inlimited action. Gombotz hasrecorded 421 yards and McLeod316 rushing through fourgames behind an experiencedoffensive line. The duo hascombined for 240 more receiv-ing yards and each has scored

eight touchdowns.“They are two good high

school backs,” Capodice said.“They make people miss andget yards after contact. They’vedone a great job. Our offensiveline has really opened up holes,and they’ve been able to hitthem and make positive yards.

“I’ve said that we’ll go as faras the offensive line takes us.Those kids have the ability todominate up front.”

Williams was 8-for-12 for 122yards passing, also connectingwith Tyler Undercuffler for asecond quarter touchdown,against Weaver. Williams hasnine TD passes and no inter-

in their next outing, as theyfell to Conard, 1-0, to drop to a4-3-1.

Plainville too ended theweek on a down note; losing toSimsbury, 3-1. The Blue Devilsfell to 6-3.

***In girls soccer, Berlin and

Plainville battled to a 0-0 stale-mate at Scalise Field Oct. 3.The old foes tied in 2011 aswell.

“This year we went toBerlin playing very goodteams. Those were goodgames, tough games,” PHScoach Leszek Wrona said,pointing out that his troopslost a string of one-goal deci-sions recently. “I knew goingto Berlin we’d be ready to play.I told the girls the pressure is

on the Berlin team, not on us.And (we) did an excellent job.Every single girl who steppedon the field did her best.That’s the reason we didgood.”

On paper, Berlin was aheavy favorite. The Lady Red-coats headed into thematchup with a record of 5-1-1. Meanwhile, Plainvilleowned an unspectacular markof 2-5.

On top of that, Wronapoints out that Berlin is muchmore of a ‘soccer town’ than isPlainville.

“I think all of them playPremier soccer,” the veterancoach said of the Lady Red-coats. “In Plainville, we reallydon’t have players playingPremier soccer; maybe a cou-ple of them. That’s a big dif-ference.”

Coats’ Notes

Berlin runners sweep,improve to 5-1

The cross country teamsimproved to 5-1 with a sweepof Bristol Eastern and Platt.

James Dwyer and Bren-dan McLarty surpassed aPlatt harrier in the finalmile to give the Berlin boys aone-two finish.

The course, at HubbardPark in Meriden, was rain-soaked, as were the runners.

“I told them that with theconditions the way theywere, that if they were goingto go after the win they hadto make their move beforethe course went onto theslippery grass surface,” BHScoach Steve Soucy said, re-ferring to Dwyer and McLar-ty. “They utilized the roadsand were able to take thelead and hold it all the wayin.

Berlin’s top five wasrounded out by Matt Kall,Lawrence Betterini and SamPapacoda.

“We were able to hold ourpack together throughoutthe race, and the boys justwore down the other twoteams,” said Soucy.

In the girls race, BHS hadseven of the first 10 finish-

ers as the Lady Redcoats eas-ily handled Bristol Easternand Platt.

“Our top seven have re-mained consistent all yearand have been working ex-tremely hard,” said Soucy,who highlighted the raceTaylor Lupini turned inagainst Bristol Eastern andPlatt. Lupini finishedfourth.

Soucy also liked the racework of Lindsey Stefens andKristen Stack.

“After two miles there wasa group of five — four Berlinrunners and one Bristol East— that were in the lead. Wedecided it would be better tojust let the East runner goand play it conservative toavoid injuries all together,”Soucy explained. “We havesome big races coming upand the girls are really con-centrating on those.”

The BHS harriers cappedthe week at the Wickham In-vitational. The Lady Red-coats placed ninth in thechampionship race. TheBerlin boys were ninth inthe unseeded field.

Golf Fitness Corner

The game plan for this winter? Stay sharpBy Eric Lunt

Special to The Citizen

It’s hard for New Englandgolfers tostay sharpyear round.Fall meansthe end ofan enjoyablegolf seasonis near. Andit is in-evitable,once you stop playing at thesame frequency you lose abit of your edge. Golf issuch a skill sport that re-quires constant repetitionto stimulate your brain’smotor sensory system. I amsure all of you golfers whosaw improvement this yeardo not want to lose whatyou gained. That is why youcannot go into completeshut-down mode during the

winter; your body will re-vert back to old habits with-in less than two weeks of nosport-specific stimulation.

An example of this is thegolfer who plays four, fivetimes a week, hangs up theclubs for the winter and ex-pects to pick right up wherethey left off in the spring. Ifyou are a young golfer whoswitches sports this time ofseason to either football,basketball or somethingelse, and golf is your pri-mary sport, you especiallyneed to be doing somethinggolf related. Working onyour jump shot will not helpyour golf game. Period.

People need to realize inathletics today everythingis specialized to your sport,from skill training to per-formance training. Thereare few overlapping sports,such as tennis, hockey and

golf, as far as the movementpatterns complimentingone another and translatinginto improvement in oneanother.

If you are looking to keepyour skill and fitness gainsleading into the off-seasonhere are some things that Irecommend. First, take aminute and write down asummary of your golf sea-son. What were yourstrengths and weaknesses?If you already have a listlike this and had been get-ting golf lessons, writedown the areas that youhave improved the most on— putting, driving accura-cy, chipping, ball striking,driver distance, etc. Maybetouch base with your swingcoach for an end-of-seasonlesson or recommendationson drills that could help youin the off season.

The biggest thing is tostill swing a club. Skilltraining is still the most im-portant and the first one togo. It doesn’t have to be alot, 10 to 15 minutes out ofyour day in your home oroffice just making swingsand treating it like a prac-tice session. If you don’thave the headspace, findsomething half the size of aclub. I don’t care what youuse, as long as you swingsomething, and focus, in-stead of making mindlessswings. Focus on a specificswing flaw you have, andany corrective drills youmay have been given to fix

it. How often should you dothis? I would recommenddoing it at least the samenumber of times you wouldplay in a given week. Also,you should obviously betaking advantage of heateddriving ranges wheneveryou can. Or, if you are oneof the lucky few to have alarge enough garage to fitand set up a golf net, thenyou are set all winter long.

Eric Lunt works at Tim-berlin Golf Course in Kens-ington and is a Certified GolfFitness Instructor throughthe Titleist Performance In-stitute.

job,” Capodice said. “He’s in-telligent, he understands oursystem, schemes and makesgood decisions.”

Kevin Main and Eric Gar-cia also had second-halftouchdown runs for the Red-coats on Saturday.

Berlin has turned the ballover just once this season andcaused 13 on defense – seveninterceptions and six fumblerecoveries.

Safety Mike Pomian leadsthe Redcoats in tackles with29, but nine others have atleast 10.

Berlin outshot Plainville bya wide margin in last week’sscoreless affair, but Wronasaid the shots Blue Devilgoalie Julianna Christy (20saves) was peppered withwere not always bullets. “Imade the comment that mygrandmother could make thesave on those balls,” the veter-an coach joked.

Lady Redcoat keeperMichaela Dehm stopped thetwo shots she faced thatevening.

In overtime, Plainville’sMegan Cameron blasted ashot off the post.

Berlin wrapped up the weekwith a 1-0 loss to NorthwestCatholic, while Plainville fellhard to Simsbury, 4-0.

***In a rare occurrence, last

fall the Plainville volleyballteam got the best of Berlintwice.

That won’t happen this sea-son.

In their first meeting of

ball,” Capodice said. “Goodthings happen when you getthere.”

Berlin, averaging 8.25points against, will have toget another strong effortwhen it visits NorthwestCatholic on Saturday night at7 p.m.

Northwest Catholic haswon three of games, losingonly to Bloomfield 7-6. The In-dians have allowed just 13points combined their lastthree games and talented all-purpose running back NickGaynor, a returning all-stateplayer, must be contained.

“[Northwest] has done agood job on the defensive sideof the ball,” Capodice said.“They have good athletes thatwill cause problems, and itshould be a very competitivegame.”

2012, The Lady Redcoats sweptthe host Lady Blue Devils, 3-0,Oct. 1 at Wood Gymnasium.

Speaking of Steve Compsonand his PHS spikers, BHS vol-leyball coach Bob Tarigo said:“Steve does a great job withhis girls. Last year they beatus twice, and the second winwas a five-game series at theirplace. (Last week’s match) hadnothing to do with revenge,believe me. It’s just that ourgirls this year had a little morefire power than his girls. Butas a coach, he does a great,great job with the girls that hehas.”

Tarigo said Berlin has dis-played more of a team effortlately, with good productioncoming from his reserves.

“We’re passing well, and play-ing well as a team right now.Hopefully we can continue togo with that.”

The longtime coach likeswhat he has seen from Kristi-na Hagmeier. “She hasstepped up a lot,” Tarigo saidof the senior libero. “She’s do-ing a great job the last three orfour games. She’s much moreaggressive back there, andshe’s helping out tremendous-ly.”

The Lady Redcoats went onto knock off Middletown, 3-0,and Windsor, 3-0, to bumptheir record to 6-3.

Plainville defeated Bulke-ley, 3-0, but fell to Wethersfield,3-0, in its next outing to drop to2-7.

Each meal costs 22 cents to produce; and 92 percent of all donations direct-ly support the food program. FMSC receives no government aid.
