Scarecrow festival livens up Farmington Avenue

Eighteen funny, scary, and smil-ing creations lined Farmington Avenue this month in the hopes of being chosen as Berlin’s best scarecrow. The 11th annual Scare-crow and Fall Foliage Festival kicked off its street display at the beginning of October with busi-nesses, organizations, and families from throughout town contribut-ing their best scarecrow creations.

This year’s big winner was a Cinderella themed scarecrow from Dance Legacy-Caroline’s Dance Center LLC. The scare-crow display, set up at T.D Bank on Farmington Avenue, consisted

of Cinderella in her signature blue gown, a giant pumpkin, a fairy godmother, and a banner reading “Bibiddi Bobiddi Boo.”

Terri Noyes, a co-chairman of the festival and Berlin Parks and Recreation event coordinator, said the annual fall festival is a great way to get the community in-volved. “It’s nice to see what peo-ple come up with,” she said.

“It takes a lot of hard work to create them.”

This year’s scarecrow judges consisted of four people, one be-ing the mayor, Rachel Rochette. Creations were placed in one of four categories: “A” being a scare-

For the 11th year, this month, a variety of scarecrow creations lined Farmington Avenue, including this recreation of the Burger family from TV’s “Bob’s Burgers” family, as part of the Scarecrow and Fall Foliage Festival.See Scarecrows / Page A10

Dog owners do their part for cancer research

Tails were wagging at Berlin’s third annual Bark for Life, Saturday, Oct. 17, as dozens of canines and their owners walked to benefit the American Cancer Society. The air was cold but the atmo-sphere was positive at the Berlin fair-grounds on this day. From noon until 3 p.m. people and their pooches enjoyed canine demonstrations, Halloween costume contests, dog dancing, and some exercise.

ACS Relay for Life Community Manager Lynn Kipphut said the bene-fit raised nearly $4,000, and donations

continue to come in. More than that though, she said the event lifted the spirits of attendees.

“It’s a fun family event and it’s nice to see the relationships of the canines and their owners,” Kipphut said.

She said the driving force behind the benefit are the volunteers. Also, Ber-lin businesses teamed up this year to donate to the cause. Dirty Dog, a dog grooming business on the Berlin Turn-pike, was one of the local places that lent a paw. Owner Janet Leitao was on the committee this year and helped raise money at Dirty Dog with unique

dog cookies.“They’re cookies that are

upside down hearts made into little pink bikini tops and then decorated with the breast cancer ribbon,” Leitao explained.

All proceeds from the cookie sale went to Dirty Dog’s Bark for Life team. The business also raised money with paper paw prints that customers could buy with their dog’s name to be dis-played around the store. A collection bucket was also set up for customers to do-nate money to the cause.

Leitao said more than $1,000 was raised. “We al-ready have plans for next year on what we will do, what we will improve on, and what we will include,” she said.

Bark for Life is inclusive when it comes to the cause. Kipphut said the event ben-efits canines going through cancer too. This is evident during the Bark for Life sur-vivor lap, which takes place halfway through the day, when cancer survivors and their furry friends, some of whom have also fought can-cer, take a special lap around the track. They receive ap-plause from the other partic-ipants lining the track as they pass by.

“This is basically a mini version of our Relay for Life where canines are invited,” said Kipphut, pointing out that the event got started af-ter numerous requests came in to bring dogs to the Relay, which the ACS had to decline.

Now, Bark for Life is a hit among the dog-lovers in town.

“We have residents come out year after year to walk with their dogs,” Kipphut said.

To donate, visit www.relay-forlife.org/barkberlinct.

Another Bark for Life event will be held Saturday, Nov. 1, at the Southington Drive-In.

For popular eateries, week-end business is their “bread and butter.” So when a local eatery recently got a phone call from someone claiming to be from Eversource, threat-ening to shut off their power in two hours unless they made an immediate payment, the owner panicked.

After calling Eversource to confirm the status of her account, the owner realized she was the target of a scam. This type of scam continues to plague small businesses around the country and usu-ally at the most inopportune times. Callers here in Con-necticut, claim to be from Eversource and tell them their service is scheduled to be shut off, and then pressure them to make an immediate payment by purchasing a pre-

paid debit card, commonly referred to as the green dot scam, at a certain location.

“These scams work by scar-ing customers and catching them off guard, hoping they’ll ignore their better judgment and make a payment or pro-vide personal information,” said Penni Conner, senior vice president and chief cus-tomer officer at Eversource. “If any of our customers suspect someone is imper-sonating an Eversource rep-resentative – whether on the phone or in-person – even if they show identification, they should contact us immedi-ately or call the local police.”

Eversource representa-tives never demand instant payment over the phone and don’t require the use of pre-paid debit cards. Customers

can verify they are speaking with an Eversource repre-sentative by asking for some basic information about their account. Company customer service representatives will always be able to verify the name on the account, the ac-count address, and the exact past due balance.

In addition, Eversource employees rarely make un-solicited house visits. Some exceptions include accessing utility equipment to ensure the safe and efficient opera-tion of the distribution sys-

The Berlin Citizen | theberlincitizen.com Thursday, October 29, 2015 A3

Dear Berlin Residents,

In two recent letters to area newspapers, A Berlin Democrat mailer, and an angry rant at the Oct. 5th Town Council meeting, Democrat Deputy Mayor William Rasmussen has made statements that are purposely misleading and untrue.

Republicans have been graded by the Berlin Democrats for an “F” for voting NO on the Tax Lien sales.

But I could not in good conscience, vote for a plan to hire a law firm whose own attorney wrote the tax lien law, lob-bied for it to be passed here in CT, oh and by the way, is the only law firm in CT that can perform these tax lien sales. We felt that this service should have been put out to bid to help keep the process honest.

We have been given by the Democrats a grade of an “F” for not accepting Small Town Economic Assistance Program grants or S.T.E.A.P. grants. We voted NO for ONE grant for the possible boulevard or driveway for the proposed police station. Why should we accept money for a project that was soundly defeated by referendum by the taxpayers with no guarantee that this would be the location of the proposed police station? Republicans have voted for open space grants, sidewalk grants, and other STEAP grants prior to the police station boulevard/driveway referendum vote and will continue to do so.

We have been graded an “F” to not accepting an $11 million dollar grant to help pay for the over budget high school project. Mr. Rasmussen’s two op-ed letters, have referenced this $11 million dollar figure.

I have to ask, where did this figure come from? Just a simple internet search and a fourth grader can discover that the grant was $15 million. An article from the Berlin Patch, dated June 12, 2013, written by Robert Mayer, quotes for-mer Mayor Adam Salina: “The reality is we were short $15 million and this legislative waiver will give us $19 million”.

The actual legislative bill, Senate Bill No. 876 (from the January 2013 session), which states in part of Section 502, Part D, “Notwithstanding any provision of the general statutes or any special act, charter or ordinance providing that binding contracts not be entered into, or bonds issued, that exceed the approved appropriation, the town of Berlin may enter into binding contracts”……”provided such binding contracts or bond issues do not exceed such approved appropriation by more than fifteen million dollars……” .

So I have to ask, was the project $11 million, $15 million, or $19 million dollars over budget?

For someone who has stated he wants “just the facts” Mr. Rasmussen and the rest of the Berlin Democrats have gotten this wrong.

The one thing to keep in mind, that this proposed legislation, whether it was born in our Town hall, or up in Hartford, was written to circumvent our Town Charter so that you did not have a chance to discuss this state grant either by referendum or a town wide hearing. All it took was a simple vote by the Town Council to accept this money. This prec-edent, will now increase all our taxes on a statewide basis, as almost every “renovate as new” school project across the State, since the Berlin High School bid, has been over budget, and most other towns have reached out to their legislators for their own “Berlin Bailout” for their over budget school projects.

If I was to grade these recent comments and expensive mailed flier from the Democrats, I would have to give a grade of “F”. When you don’t respect other opinions or ideas, it is easy to give yourself and A!

Remember in November to vote for Transparency, Responsibility, and Integrity, and vote for the team of Brenden Lud-dy, Dave Evans, Charles Paonessa, and Mark Kaczynksi.

In conjunction with Na-tional Friends of the Library Week, The Friends of the Berlin-Peck Memorial Li-brary donated a Little Free Library to the Town of Ber-lin. Little Free Libraries are everywhere, an international movement, engaging individ-uals, families, neighborhoods and communities. The prem-ise is simple: take a book, leave a book.

Berlin’s LFF will live at the Berlin Amtrak Train Station at 51 Depot Road. What better place to read than on a train ride? While the station and tracks are being renovated,

the LFF will remain inside the station. When construction is completed, it will be mounted outside so that travelers will be able to choose a free book at any time. The Friends will keep the box stocked with donations to their on-going book sale.

“These little libraries not only make everyone smile, they get people excited about reading,” explained Ber-lin-Peck Memorial Library Director Helen Malinka. “It’s another way to get books into people’s hands, and that’s what we’re all about!”

KENSINGTON — Nor-man Stanley Stachelek, 88, of Kensing-ton, the beloved husband of Lor-raine (Pompey) for

64 years, p a s s e d a w a y peacefu l ly on Friday, Oct. 23, 2015, at home, after an extended illness.

Born in New Britain to the late Stanley and Gabriella (Malachowski) Stachelek, he was a 1944 graduate of New Britain High School, enlisted in the U.S. Army after high school, and was enrolled in Norwich Uni-versity Officer Candidate School. While enrolled, he elected to pursue training at The Defense Language Institute, Foreign Language Center, in Monterey, Calif., where he studied Japanese and Korean, and was then deployed to Korea in Mili-tary Intelligence. Upon his discharge in 1946, he was nominated for an appoint-

ment to West Point Mili-tary Academy, but elected to attend the University of Connecticut where he graduated in 1950. Nor-man was self-employed as a manufacturer’s rep-resentative specializing in micro-electronics, and was a member of St. Paul’s Church in Kensington and the American Legion.

In addition to his wife, he is survived by three chil-dren, Conrad Stachelek, M.D., PhD, of Erie, Pa. and his wife, Beth, Norman Stachelek, of Stratton, Vt., and his wife, Carol, and Roxanne Stachelek and her husband, Tom Chros-niak, of West Hartford; six grandchildren, Greg Stachelek, M.D., PhD., and Alex Stachelek and his wife, Lindsey, Erik and Preston Stachelek, Alycia and Christina Chrosniak; his brother, Dennis and his wife, Connie; and several nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his younger brother, Conrad who passed away in 1952.

Funeral services were held Tuesday, Oct. 27, from Porter’s Funeral Home, 111 Chamberlain Highway, Berlin, with a funeral liturgy at St. Paul’s Church. Burial was followed in St. Thom-as Cemetery, Southington. In lieu of flowers, memori-al donations may be made to St. Paul’s Church, 467 Alling St., Kensington, CT 06037, or Hartford Health-care at Home, 1290 Silas Deane Highway, Suite 4B, Wethersfield, CT 06109.

ObituariesBERLIN — Ronda Jean

(Agostini) Agostinucci, 58 years old, spouse of Wil-

liam Agosti-nucci for 33 years, a s c e n d e d on Satur-day, Oct. 24, 2015.

She was born in New Britain on

Aug. 1, 1957, to Lillian and the late Ronald Agostini. She resided in Berlin.

Ronda is survived by her husband, William; her son, Daniel and her daughter-in-love, Andrea. She is also survived by her mother, Lillian Agostini; aunts, Lor-raine Rakowski, Lois Rada-vich, MaryAnn Agostini and Jean Malinowski; brother, Ronald Jr., and MarySue Agostini, brother, Peter Agostini; sister-in-law, Rosemary Agostinucci; and brother and sister-in-law, Dr. Dominick Agostin and Marie Agostin. Ronda also has many nieces and nephews, Jeffrey Agostin and his wife, MaryAnn, Mi-chael Agostin and his wife, Anne, Kevin Agostin, Ma-rissa, Alex, Tyler, Sam and Benjamin Agostini.

Ronda was a physical therapist, graduating from Quinnipiac College in 1979.

She was co-owner of Val-ley Rehabilitation Center and practiced for over 35 years. Her specialty was TMJ therapy and she was considered one of the top therapists in the U.S. She taught at Quinnipiac in the Graduate Program for 16 years. Ronda was always rated highly as a profes-sor and helped to shape the practice of many stu-dents. She formed a spe-cial relationship with her patients as well and many of them becoming friends after she retired. Ronda im-pacted the lives of many of her patients, often finding the best treatment option when people had lost any hope of recovery. She had special intuitive skills that transcended into her daily practice.

Ronda also had a special relationship with the ener-gy and people of Sedona, Arizona, where she had a second home. She intro-duced many of her family and friends to the area and built many lasting memo-ries with each of them. She loved to hike the area and was affectionately called “Red Rock Ranger Ronda” for her knowledge of the area and her hiking skills. She formed close relation-ships with neighbors and

friends in Arizona. Her goal was to ap-

proach her illness utiliz-ing as many methods as possible to heal her mind, body and spirit. She found many of these in Sedona and traveled there often for healing. It was truly a gift to be a part of her experience and she shared it readily with everyone. She was also a fan of the New En-gland Patriots and loved to watch football. She could be heard cheering loudly at home or at games. She attended Super Bowl 49 with her husband in Glen-dale, Arizona, and had ex-perienced a miracle win for the team. It was one of the highlights of her life. Her favorite saying after the game was “don’t give up seconds before the mira-cle.” She used that to help her in her journey.

Ronda was fond of and owned several horses and entered many equestrian competitions. She won several ribbons in competi-tion. She also developed a passion for faerie gardens and had built one at each of her residences, loving-ly teaching others about them. Ronda’s two best friends, Alisa Germaine and Holly Coulter, were considered an inseparable

trio since grade school. They grew up together and have a tight bond as friends. They supported her throughout this time and were part of the family, always finding time to help. She also has a large group of high school friends who supported her during her illness, notably Peg and Frank Facciolo, MaryBeth and Mark McCarthy, Hank and Mary Matuszak, Ernie and Donna Pettinelli, and Vern and Sandy Pindar. There would often be cele-brations to highlight a mile-stone in Ronda’s treatment or just to enjoy each other’s company. These were spe-cial moments that helped to keep Ronda’s energy staying positive. This en-tire group went to Sedona, Arizona on vacation and all looked to Ronda to lead the group through the area. It was a memorable expe-rience never forgotten and very supportive of Ronda’s spirit.

She approached every day by staying positive, thanking God for another day on this earth and doing her part to create the mir-acle. In a discussion with Deacon Joseph Kane she told him she was afraid to go to sleep because she did not know if she would

wake up. He said “Ronda, you will always wake up, it just may not be here.” This gave her great comfort over the last weeks of her life. She was deeply religious and inspired us all with her faith. Ronda felt she had a higher purpose on this earth. She had affected the lives of so many in a pos-itive way, and was always excited to meet new peo-ple and talk. As she would tell of her experiences, ev-eryone came away feeling influenced by her energy, spirit and love. She will continue to serve her pur-pose from heaven. Ronda will forever be in our hearts and a part of our lives.

Calling hours will be 5 to 8 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 29, at Farrell’s Funeral Home, 110 Franklin Square, New Britain and again at 9 a.m. on Friday, Oct. 30, at the funeral home. A funeral Mass will be held on Fri-day, Oct. 30, at 10 a.m. at St. Joseph Church, 195 S. Main St., New Britain.

In lieu of flowers a dona-tion can be made to St. Jo-seph Church for the Ron-da Agostinucci Memorial Fund, 195 South Main St., New Britain, CT 06051. To send a condolence please visit FarrellFuneralHome.com.

Scarecrows

crow made by an adult or adult organization, “B” made by a business, “C” made by a child or children’s organization, and category “F” made by a family. First, second and third place are awarded to each of the cat-egories, as well as one honor-able mention. All creations were judged on use of materi-als, theme, construction, and creativity. Winners are awarded gift cards that can be used or donated to charity.

Some local businesses and organizations that participated in making a scarecrow friend this year included; Good Cause Gifts, American Cancer Soci-ety-Berlin Relay for Life, Ber-lin Senior Center, Dance Step, Creative Clay Spot, and Ber-

lin-Peck Memorial Library. The Senior Center won

first place for best adult or-ganization. Their scarecrow was seated at a table in front of Dunkin’ Donuts sporting sunglasses, a hat, and a coffee cup. Bingo sheets were spread out on the table with a jar that read: “Bingo Money.” A big sign in front of the table introduced “Mabel the Sr. Center Bingo Queen.”

In the business category, Town of Berlin Homemak-ing services was awarded first place for their scarecrow hold-ing cleaning supplies and wear-ing a mop as hair. A bucket of supplies sat next to the home-maker scarecrow, which was displayed at Volunteer Park.

The children’s organization category had many scarecrow

creators such as Berlin FIRST Robotics, and Berlin Lacrosse Association, to name a few. In the end, the New Britain Youth Museum at Hungerford’s scare-crow friend was the first-place winner.

Several families and fami-ly-based organizations got in-volved as well. Raising Berlin took the first place prize in their category with their Le-go-inspired display featuring two characters from The Lego Movie.

The festival grows year af-ter year with more businesses and organizations around town getting involved. Noyes says she and co-chair Rose Woll-man got together to make the event possible 11 years ago and it has been an October tradition ever since.

Kensington Orchards Trail a feast for the eyes

New England boasts an array of colors this time of year as the leaves start to turn. Now they are reaching their peak with brighter and widespread colors. Berlin has many trails that are ideal for leaf peeping this month, such as; Beckley Quarry at Wethersfield Road, Bicenten-nial Park with the Metacomet Loop and Red trails, the Or-ange trail at Pistol Creek, and the Hatchery Brook Conser-vation Area, to name a few.

The newest addition is Kensington Orchards Trail which gives hikers access to both the Hatchery and Bi-centennial Park trails. The Orchards, located on the Chamberlain Highway, of-fers plenty of foliage to view while walking the various loops. Parking is available right off the highway.

Larry Papandrea, a Berlin resident for nearly 30 years, was on his second walk through the trails Friday af-ternoon. It’s a nice walk,” he said, “not as rocky as other trails.”

He said it’s a good workout and offers different views of Berlin, especially those of the surrounding farmland. With

the trails’ hilltop location the views are endless, he says.

The trail winds through the former Girl Scout Camp Meribrite and comes to a fork in the path with a map directing hikers to various trails. There’s a trail for easy, moderate and difficult walks. There are several “loops” or trails of different lengths, some reaching a mile in

length. The five loops are the Blue Loop, the Orange Loop, the Red Loop, the Yel-low Loop and the Metacomet Loop in Bicentennial Park. All the trails connect at different points indicated by the map.

Bill and Laurie Fuller, New Britain residents, were pleas-antly surprised during their first day hiking the trails.

“It’s nice, a lot bigger than

we anticipated from the Chamberlain Highway,” Bill said.

The couple say they know the area well since they lived in Berlin for five years and drove past the land before it was open to the public.

A formal ceremony was held back in September to open the Kensington Or-chards Trail, and correspond-

ing parking lot. The open space property is owned by the town of Berlin and avail-able for people and dogs on leashes to enjoy.

Hunting, vehicles, fires, and camping is prohibited.

The main reason holiday gift cards are so popular for buyers and recipients can be summed up in one word: convenience. Gift cards and certificates essentially give the end user the freedom to buy whatever they want. However, Connecticut Bet-ter Business Bureau says consumers should under-stand the various gift card options, their benefits and consequences.

According to the National Retail Federation’s (NRF) Gift Card Spending Survey, consumers are expected to spend $31 billion on gift cards by the end of this year, up from $26 billion in 2014.

In 2003, Connecticut be-came one of the first states to prohibit fees and expira-tion dates for cards bought in the state or ordered on-line or by telephone by a Connecticut resident.

There is an exception for gift cards that fall under fed-eral law, such as cards issued by financial institutions, and, in some cases, shopping malls. Federal regulations do allow certain fees in such cases.

What happens if a busi-

ness closes its doors be-fore I use my gift card?

A competitor or another nearby business may offer some sort of credit for the gift card to attract you as a new customer. Rule No. 1 is to use a gift card or certif-icate right away. You also want to use it as soon as possible because we tend to lose them. Typical estimates indicate 20 percent of gift cards are never redeemed.

What if I don’t want the gift card?

There are reputable websites where you can buy and sell gift cards and certificates.

Some cards are worth more than others, but you can receive up to 70 percent of their value selling them online. If you want to pur-chase a gift card from one of these websites, you can find cards discounted up to 30 percent of their value.

Check the company or website first with Better Business Bureau to make sure you are dealing with an ethical business.

Runners, fans flock to invitational

On Saturday, Oct. 17, the McGee Middle School cross country team hosted its 17th annual cross country invitational. Nearly 1,000 athletes from numerous area schools participated over two courses traversing Sage Park. The course for the sixth grade girls and boys teams was 1.7 miles long, and the course for the seventh and eighth grade teams, 2.2 miles. Participants enjoyed near perfect running conditions, as the weather was seasonably cool and clear, and were cheered on by hundreds of fans who, because of the design of the two courses, had several easily-accessible vantage points.

Football, girls soccer undefeated no more

FootballThe Redcoats lost their

first game of the season, to Avon, on Friday, Oct. 23 by a final count of 21-14.

D e s p i t e a f u r i o u s fourth-quarter comeback at-

tempt by the Redcoats, it proved to be too little, too late as the

Falcons’ touchdowns through the first three quarters turned out to be insurmountable.

Quarterback Jack Lynch hooked up with wide re-ceiver Jake Loiselle twice on long touchdown passes to account for Berlin’s scor-ing. Lynch found Loiselle for a 40-yard score with seven minutes remaining in the game’s final quarter. The ju-nior under center found the

senior with a little over one minute remaining, this time from 30 yards out. Giancarlo Tufano converted both his extra point attempts.

Lynch finished the game 23-for-29 with 237 yards passing. Owen Taylor added 70 rush-ing yards on 16 carries, as Lo-iselle and Ryan Cop finished as Berlin’s top receivers with 80 and 60 yards, respectively.

Nick Cardello led the de-fensive charge for the Red-coats, ending the contest with nine total tackles (two for loss) while Alex Fleeton (seven tackles) and Patrick Ladas (six) also made strong contributions.

Berlin (5-1) will look to rebound in a Halloween showdown with Plainville (3-3) Saturday, Oct. 31 at Southington High School. Kickoff is set for 6 p.m.

Girls soccer

After suffering their first loss of the season to begin the week, the Lady Redcoats

rebounded nicely to improve to 12-1-1.

Berlin began the recent stretch falling to undefeated RHAM, 2-1. Michaela Dehm recorded eight saves for the Lady Redcoats as Tess Atkin-son scored the team’s lone goal. The girls ended their week on a high note, stomp-ing on Bristol Eastern, 6-2, at Sage Park. Atkinson was on fire, scoring four goals in the contest while Michelle Grieco found the back of the net twice. Dehm hauled in three saves to help keep Ber-lin in control.

Following the dismantling of the Lancers, Berlin has scored five or more goals in seven games this season and have never allowed more than two goals to an oppo-nent in a game this year.

As of press time, Berlin was ranked in the top 10 in Class L, all but guaranteeing the locals a favorable first-round matchup for the state tournament.

Boys soccer

In their lone matchup of the week, the Redcoats played to a 1-1 tie with the Lancers of Bristol Eastern. The draw brought Berlin’s record to 9-3-2 on the year.

Evan Hilbie scored the team’s lone goal in the con-test while Ben Kennure re-corded three saves in goal to preserve the tie and help the Redcoats inch forward in the Class L rankings.

The locals have allowed 10 total goals throughout the season, an average of 0.7 goals per game for their opponents. Meanwhile, the boys have av-eraged 1.7 goals per game on the year.

Girls cross country

The Lady Redcoats com-peted in the CCC champi-onship on Wednesday, Oct. 21, coming away with a 10th place team finish out of 25 competing squads.

Berlin was led by Jody

DiCicco, who finished on the winner’s podium with a third-place finish. The se-nior crossed the finish line in 19:45.6.

Morgan Luciani and Lisa Grieco finished second and third for Berlin, coming in 45th (with a time of 21:51.3) and 60th place (22:19.9), re-spectively. Madison Marolda (76th overall; 23:06.3) and Ni-cole Vasil (84th; 23:20.7) were the Lady Redcoats’ other scoring finishers.

Madison Monroe (24:08.4) and Lindsey Brochu (26:25.5) also competed for the Redcoats.

Berlin also placed first in the South-White division, with DiCicco and Luciani fin-ishing as the top two runners. All five scoring runners for the Redcoats finished in the top 10 among South-White competitors.

Teen safe driving video contest

The Department of Motor Vehicles, with Travelers, has scheduled the eighth annual Teen Safe Driving Video con-test for high school students. The theme is: “When Shifting into Drive, Keep the Safety of Others in Mind!”

Five student advisors cre-ated this theme with the idea that teens should prac-tice selfless driving, and be conscious of drivers as well as the environment around them. Teens must realize that they should be aware of their surroundings when driving, and that they should take others into consideration when making crucial driving decisions, the advisors com-mented when deciding on the theme.

The contest is open to all public, private and home-schooled high school stu-dents in Connecticut.

More information about the contest can be found at ct.gov/teendriving/contest.

Theatre auditions

The Connecticut Cabaret Theatre, 31 Webster Square Road, is scheduling auditions for men, ages 18 to 35, by ap-pointment only, for the musi-cal “The Cardigans.” Those auditioning must prepare two songs, in the style of the show, showing vocal range and a monologue. Rehearsals for “The Cardigans” begin in February. Performances are scheduled for Fridays and Saturdays, April 1 to May 7.

To schedule an appoint-ment, call 860-829-1248.

In Brief

Notes

Boys cross country

The Redcoats had a strong showing in the CCC cham-pionships, held Wednesday, Oct. 21 at Wickham Park in Manchester. The team fin-ished 12th out of 30 schools.

Berlin was led by Dan Pera-les, who finished 19th overall with a time of 17:34.3. Gianni Fanelli, who finished 35th overall with a time of 18:00.0, and Alec Berger (54th; 18:18.7) helped round out the Red-coats’ top three.

Jake Harris (105th over-all; 19:07.5) and Joshua Ladd (112; 19:13.3) also finished as scoring runners for the Red-coats. Connor Ladd (19:29.5) and Kevin Russell (19:50.9)

both ran on behalf of Berlin, as well.

The team finished sec-ond in the South-White di-vision, with Perales (second overall), Fanelli (fourth) and Berger (eighth) all finishing in the top 10. The Redcoats (48 team points) were edged out by Rocky Hill (40) for top honors.

Girls swimming and diving

Despite strong perfor-mances on the diving board, Berlin fell short to Hall on Tuesday, Oct. 20 by a final score of 91-86. Berlin’s Han-nah Lavoie impressed with a score of 177.00 to take first. Teammates Mckenna Evans and Emily Dymczyk finished

third and fourth, respec-tively, with scores of 134.00 and 129.75.

Stephanie Humen and Ol-ivia DeGroff both finished as double winners for the Red-coats. Humen finished first in the 50 meter freestyle in 27.58 and tops in the 100 back-stroke with a time of 1:08.55. Both times marked season bests for the junior, and qual-ified her for the state cham-pionship meet in each event.

DeGroff continued her im-pressive senior campaign, gaining top honors in the 100 butterfly and 100 breast-stroke. She finished with times of 1:05.09 and 1:12.93, respectively.

Although Berlin failed to finish off its foes, there were little victories along the way

as swimmers continued to shave seconds off in their individual events. Lauren Ferraguto was one of those benefactors, as she dropped more than eight seconds combined in both her 200 individual medley and 100 backstroke events, finish-ing with times of 3:06.52 and 1:24.80. Kailey Lacasse also impressed, setting personal bests in the 200 freestyle (2:33.70) and 500 freestyle (6:53.32).

The girls will next compete in the CCC Divisional Cham-pionship, set for Tuesday, Nov. 3 (diving) and Wednes-day, Nov. 4 (swimming). The Class S state championship meet is set for Saturday, Nov. 17 at Wesleyan University in Middletown.

Girls volleyballThe Redcoats saw their

postseason hopes dwindle when a 0-2 week dropped them to 6-10 on the year. Ber-lin started the recent stretch by falling to Bristol Eastern in three sets, 25-11, 25-9, 25-19. Megan Pskowski led the way for Berlin with five kills and one block while Amanda Lee added 12 digs. The girls were then shut out by Platt on Se-nior Night (25-12, 25-8, 25-21). The team only managed five total kills in that one. Angie and Alex Perrone combined for 15 digs while Nina D’Am-ato recorded three aces.

At press time, Berlin had two matches remaining, and needs to win both to qualify for the postseason.

Beware

fraud continues to be a problem, and offers these tips to avoid becoming the victim of gift card fraud:

Inspect the card at the cash register – A growing problem is that criminals scratch away the wax on the back of the card to reveal its serial number, put it back into its packaging and empty the card with that infor-mation. If you can see the card’s number on the back, so can everyone else. In-spect gift cards bought from corner stores which may be on a rack away from the eyes of the merchant. The safest gift cards are found at the cash register.

Avoid buying gift cards through classified ads – Buyer beware. You may end

up with a counterfeit or empty card if you receive anything at all. Register your gift card – Most issuers have a telephone number or website to register the card, check its balance and file a report if lost or stolen.

Give recipients the origi-nal receipt – It makes things a lot easier for them if the card is lost or stolen.

Beware of email or texted “giveaway” cards – This is prime time for scammers. If you click on such a link in an email or text, you will likely get a virus in your computer, but no gift card.

— Press Release

From Page A14 The Berlin Public Works Department has scheduled curbside leaf collection on residents’ trash day during the weeks of Nov. 2 to 6, Nov. 16 to 20 and Nov. 30 to Dec. 4.
