Active students, active minds at McGee

At McGee Middle School, there’s a unique approach to physical education. In fact, the school’s wellness pro-gram is the only one in the state at a middle school.

Tuesday, Oct. 27, a class of McGee sixth grade students climbed on elliptical ma-chines, threw their fists into punching bags, and got active as their heart rates were re-corded. The class, held once every six days in the cycle, offers a chance to work out in a cardio environment; the upstairs fitness center re-sembling a commercial gym with a variety of machines, weights, and equipment to accommodate students’ indi-vidual preferences.

Walkway to be dedicated on Veterans Day

The town, in collabora-tion with the Berlin Veter-ans’ Commission, will hold a Veterans Day ceremony Wednesday, Nov. 11 at Veter-ans’ Memorial Park, on Vet-

erans Way between Massirio Drive and Farmington Ave-nue. This year’s ceremony will feature a special dedica-tion at 11 a.m. of the new path around the memorial.

The new “America’s Wars Walkway” illustrates hun-dreds of years of war in

America beginning with the Revolutionary War up until the Iraq War. Phase one of the walkway will be completed by Veterans Day, which Peter Galgano Jr., secretary of Ber-lin’s Veteran’s Commission, says is the perfect time to dedicate it. He said people in

town have already expressed their admiration of the new path.

“So many people have come to walk it already and say how nice it looks,” Gal-gano said.

MERIDEN — The Re-cord-Journal newspaper, in all its various iterations, hasn’t moved from its Crown Street home in 110 years. That changed recently, but its his-tory won’t.

“The Record-Journal has been published from 11 Crown St. for 110 years, since 1905,” R-J Publisher Eliot C. White said, though the paper, in some form, has been in ex-istence for 148 years. “It was located in the same general neighborhood for the pre-vious 38 years,” as well, he added.

In those 110 years, the newspaper building was host to visits from dignitaries like

President Harry Truman — who, legend has it, stopped in to use the restroom while on a visit to stump for the Dem-ocratic ticket in 1952 — and Janet Leigh, who stopped in during her stay in Meriden as part of the Janet Leigh Film Festival in 2002.

Leigh, born Jeanette Helen Morrison, is a Golden Globe-winning actress best known for her role in the American horror film “Psycho.”

Numerous other politicians have also passed through the Crown Street office in the past century as well.

Former U.S. Sen. Francis T. Maloney, after whom the east side high school is named, worked as a reporter in the building from 1914 to 1921, except for the year between 1917-18, when he served in the U.S. Navy.

The building holds many personal memories for cur-rent and former employees.

“Five generations of my family have spanned the full 110 years,” White said. “I have

personally worked in the building since 1979. My first memory was accompanying my father in early 1950s on Sunday mornings to light the lead pots.”

Until roughly the 1960s and ’70s, linotype machines were the industry standard for printing newspapers. The type set machines used gas-fired pots to keep the lead and tin type metal liquefied just prior to being cast.

The newspaper was printed on premises at 11 Crown St. until February 2009, though the technology to do so evolved from the li-notype machine.

In 2009, the aging press was in need of a costly re-placement, and the ailing economy prompted the de-cision to outsource printing to the Springfield Republican campus in Springfield, Mass.

The R-J, as many know it now, began as The Weekly Visitor in 1867. The weekly newspaper expanded into a

Casa Mia at The Hawthorne will feature banquet halls and a restaurant and lounge. | Ashley Kus / The Berlin Citizen

Hawthorne

coming Christmas parties and holiday gatherings. The Hawthorne has remained empty since it closed back in the summer of 2014. The stone building was used as an inn and then a restaurant dat-ing back as far as the 1930s.

Now, Guglieli wants to bring an Italian flair to the place. He said the grand opening will be in January.

“I want to bring back the old glory of the inn,” said Guglieli.

The Italian-born owner is not new to the business. He has spent nearly 40 years working in the restaurant world and currently owns the Casa Mia banquet restau-rants in Rocky Hill and East Hartford.

Guglieli is confident his expansive experience will translate to big things for the Hawthorne. “I already have a following with my clientele,” he said.

Just three days after the “coming soon” sign went up in front of the historic prop-erty, Guglieli said people been inquiring about plans. The website and the social media platforms for the Casa Mia at The Hawthorne are still in development, but Gug-lieli predicts a big presence.

“I’ve always had an interest in this area and this building,” he said.

He says he remembers the Hawthorne back when it was a town staple and hosted nu-merous parties and gather-ings. He’s focused on livening up the iconic Berlin Turkpike location, while keeping its charm.

“Everyone has been excited about it,” he said.

While Guglieli’s vision is still coming together, much

of the space is already set up. Walking through the glass double-doors decorated with cursive “H”s, is a welcome desk with a matching cursive “H” above it. To the right is the lounge lined with booths and a full-service bar. Lights dot the ceiling illuminating the space that Guglieli said will be used for singing acts, comedy shows, and big-bands four days a week. To the left of the entrance is the restau-rant’s dining room filled with plenty of seating, tables, and corner booths. A fireplace sits in the middle with a mosaic stone pattern above the man-tle. Around the corner is the biggest banquet hall, which Guglieli said will be named “Tivoli.” The room will hold up to 320 people with a bar, buffet tables, and plenty of room to dance. Nearby is a second, similar, banquet room with seating for 80. The third banquet room is upstairs with seating for 100. A conference room is down the hall for meetings of 25 to 30 people.

“I’m a chef, so I like the din-ing room and lounge the best here,” Guglieli said.

While he has big respon-sibilities as sole owner, Gug-lieli also is looking for more shoes to fill. He will be post-ing job opportunities in order to hire at least 50 more peo-

ple, including managers, bar-tenders, waiters and a lounge promoter.

“We are going to create jobs,” he said.

As for the new restaurant, Guglieli is looking forward to tapping into his Italian roots to influence the traditional steakhouse food. Prime rib, seafood, and steak will be just a few of the main dishes included on the menu along with the “surf n’ turf”, the Hawthorne was known for.

“I’m giving it a modern flair,” Guglieli said.

Record-Journal

daily print newspaper on Jan. 1, 1868, and three months later, evolved into the Meriden Daily Republican.

Soon an evening paper was produced to compete with the Republican — that paper was the Meriden Daily Jour-nal, which first ran in April 1886. It was later known (and perhaps better known now) as simply the Meriden Journal.

In 1887, The Republican Publishing Co. was incorpo-rated, and five years later, in 1892, the Morning Record was launched as another daily paper.

At that point, the Meriden Daily Republican became a weekly newspaper, and even-tually ceased publication altogether.

Between 1903 and 1925, the Morning Record changed names twice, ultimately set-tling on the Meriden Record in January 1925.

In 1949, the Meriden Re-cord Co. — formerly the Republican Publishing Co. — purchased the Meriden Journal, though it wasn’t until 1977 when the two papers merged, becoming the Morning Record and Journal.

Three years later, the paper changed its name to the now familiar Record-Journal.

There’s only a few busi-

nesses still operating in Meriden that are older than the Record-Journal and its ancestor papers. According to information gathered by Jerry Maust, reference librar-ian at the Meriden Public Li-brary, they include the Miller Co., established in 1846; The Russell Hall Co., established in 1854; and Lyon and Billard Lumber Co., established in 1847.

According to Maust’s infor-mation, the Horton Printing Co. also rivals the R-J’s ten-ure in the city; it was estab-lished the same year as The Weekly Visitor.

Only 13 other companies have been in the city for more than 100 years, according to Maust’s information.

In the 148 years since its in-ception, the Record-Journal newspapers haven’t missed a publication. To date, that’s nearly 43,000 straight issues.

“We never missed a pub-lication despite major ob-stacles, including power outages in the 1980s, when we lost power for 24 straight hours,” White said. The out-age forced newspaper crews to print in Waterbury and work from Middletown.

Extreme weather was also no match for the tenacity to print a daily newspaper.

“We survived over 3 feet of water during the flood in 1992. My parents skied to work during the blizzard of 1978,” White recalled.

Throughout the years, the building changed its look. In the early years, nearly full-length windows studded the sides of the building, then mosaic murals replaced many of them.

“We had five building ex-pansions since 1955 with ma-jor investments in downtown Meriden,” White said. A new press in 1979 and mail room expansions in 1988 “totaled investments of $10 million,” he said.

During this time, a Sunday edition of the newspaper was launched as well. Though it’s generally considered the staple edition of daily print newspapers, publishing the Record-Journal Sunday edi-

tion in 1984 was considered risky given the economic cli-mate at the time.

It paid off though. “Starting the Sunday edition...was a ma-jor growth project that helped secure our future for the next 30 years,” White said.

Among the Record-Jour-nal’s publications are The Citizen weekly newspapers.

The City of Meriden pur-chased the R-J building in 2014, adding it to a list of six total downtown properties the city expects to turn over to developers for a mix of housing and retail buildings. A lease agreement with the city enabled the publishing company to occupy the space until this December, though the business open in its new location at 500 S. Broad St. on Oct. 12.

“The move... will mark the end of an era,” White said. “We will now begin a new chapter of our business with 90 employees in a new mod-ern workplace... and 40 em-ployees at our sister company (The Westerly Sun) in West-erly, R.I.”

White said the company’s mission will continue to focus on “providing local news and advertising solutions to our local communities, including exciting new products” such as a new advertising platform, White said. “Our business has evolved,” he said, “but the mission continues.”

McGee

the students’ exercise in class through an app at his desk. As the youngsters work out, their heart rate is monitored through Polar fit bands they put on while changing into their gym clothes. The bands have a sensor that tracks their hearts as they are moving.

Students use their bands throughout their three years at McGee.

“It gives them a better sense of how to exercise,” Plona said.

A screen at the front of the fitness room displays a grid with different colors and the students’ names. All the col-ors relate to how well they are doing in terms of their individual heart rates. Plona explains that gray and blue mean the heart rate is too low, while green, brown, and red boxes mean the heart rate is good. He says the students are graded on getting their heart rates “in the zone” for 30 minutes during class.

“I like the elliptical,” sixth grader Kyle Hyde said.

As a baseball and basket-ball player, Hyde said the heart rate monitors in class have helped him get faster on the field and on the court. He boasts that he’s part of the “40 minute club,” which means he has kept his heart rate in the zone for 40 min-utes during class.

“We get to do whatever we want and still work out,” sixth grade classmate Clare McGeever said of the well-ness class, which started a year and half ago and has

grown with an array of car-dio opportunities.

McGee P.E. teacher Linda Germain said the 50 minutes spent upstairs is more indi-vidual, while the class down-stairs in the gym is more team oriented with games like bas-ketball. “My focus is that they work on all their fitness lev-els,” she said. “Fitness is a lifetime activity.”

The program has gotten buzz lately as McGee teach-ers have showcased the con-cept at conferences, and even to college students. Plona said Central Connecticut State University students recently observed one of the classes.

McGee P.E. teacher Mike Eagle believes the class helps solve a problem that many schools face. “It’s always a challenge getting kids more active,” he said.

“We’re seeing kids more in-volved in activity here,” Mc-Gee P.E. teacher Jan Zagorski said.

All four P.E. teachers have seen a positive response in the program from both com-petitive and not-so-compet-itive students, as the classes reach out to everyone.

“They are starting to un-derstand that fitness benefits them through life,” Eagle said.

Principal Salvatore Urso said he’s proud that McGee offers an effective instruc-tional model.

“I don’t think anyone can argue with personalized fit-ness,” the principal said.

When The Citizen stopped by the wellness class last week, the students, all sport-ing neon green gym shirts, were on their second day of exercising with the moni-tors since their previous five classes of course work where they learned safety rules. Now they work out while lis-tening to top radio hits in the fitness center, until they, once again, return to their class-rooms for the day.

Walkway

The path consists of fiber-glass embedded signs that lead to the memorial. The 13 signs give brief facts and a va-riety of pictures of the wars. Galgano says there is space for future wars to be added in later, though he hopes the space won’t have to be used. The project has been in the works for a year and half and will be completed with a bridge and the full walkway by December.

“Teachers are saying that it will be a great class trip for their students,” Galgano said. The war history depicted on the signs will give students a brief explanation that they will understand and want to read, he added. The latest war, the Iraq War, has a sign with pictures provided by First Sergeant Ben Grainger when he served there. Grainger will

be a guest speaker at the Vet-erans Day ceremony.

Berlin High School will take part in the ceremony with members of the Brass Quin-tet, directed by Jeff Sirois, playing Taps and a patriotic melody. The BHS Madrigals, directed by Kathryn Scherer, will sing the National Anthem and America the Beautiful. The Color Guard, comprised of members of Veterans of Foreign Wars, Post 10732 and members of the American Le-gion Post 68, will also be in attendance.

“I’m looking forward to it because it’s a nice tribute to the veterans,” said Galgano.

The rain date for the cere-mony will be the same day at 11 a.m at the Berlin Veterans’ of Foreign Wars Post 10732, on Massirio Drive.

ObituariesBERLIN — David Al-

fred Piskorski, born Sept. 4, 1941, passed away on Saturday, Oct. 24, 2015 at

the Hospital of Central C o n n e c t i -cut, New Britain. He was the b e l o v e d husband of Mary Eliza-beth “Bet-

sy” (Amenta) Piskorski.Born in New Britain, he

was the son of the late Luc-ien S. and Genevieve (Ku-las) Piskorski. David was a graduate of New Britain High School, class of 1959, graduate of Fairfield Uni-versity, class of 1963 with a Bachelor of Science in history, and a graduate of Catholic University Law School in 1966.

He served in the Ma-rine Corp Reserves from 1966–1972 and he prac-ticed law for 40 years in the New Britain area until his retirement in 2007. During his professional career he was a member of the Plain-ville Jaycees, the Plainville Board of Appeals, and a member of the New Brit-ain Bar Association, where he served as president. He was also a member of the Hartford County Bar, Con-necticut Bar Association, and the Connecticut Trial Lawyers Association.

David moved to Berlin in 1973 and he was very ac-tive in the community, as he served on the Planning Commission, the Berlin Democratic Town Commit-tee, and was on the Berlin

Board of Directors of the Visiting Nurses Associa-tion. He was an avid fisher-man, hunter, and gardener, and he was a lifelong fan of the New York Giants and Boston Red Sox. He often took credit for the Red Sox winning the World Series in 2004 by refusing to watch their playoff run because he felt it would be bad karma. His greatest joy in his final years has been attending his grandsons’ sporting events and spending time with his four grandchildren.

David will be greatly missed by his family and friends: Son, Michael David Piskorski, daughter-in-law, Tamara, and grandsons, Nolan and Justin, of Berlin; daughter, Jennifer Sama-ras, son-in-law, Christo-pher Samaras, and grand-daughters, Caroline and Audrey, of Andover Mass.; his sister, Diane Pavelchak and brother-in-law, Michael Pavelchak, of Eastham, Mass.; his sister-in-law, Celeste Finison, and her partner, Joanne Reilly, of Brookline, Mass.; his niec-es, nephews, and cousins; and also his close friends, Bill Stanlonis and Dennis and Leona Bartnik.

As per his wishes, a pri-vate graveside service was held at the Maple Cemetery in Berlin. Erickson-Han-sen Funeral Home, New Britain, was in charge of arrangements. Memorial donations can be made in his name to the Ryan T. Lee Memorial Foundation, c/o 103 Peter Parley Row, Berlin, CT 06037.

Schools

Parents of Berlin High School students, and staff of the school, have been in-formed of bacteria found in the school’s water system.

The superintendent sent out a letter Friday, Oct. 23, after Legionella bacteria was found. The letter says that the

water was tested and the re-sults came back Oct. 20. The bacteria are not spread per-son to person.

The letter states that Le-gionella bacteria are usually found in water and can cause a type of pneumonia called Legionnaire’s disease. People at high risk of infection are usually those over the age of 50, smokers, those with

weakened immune systems, and those with chronic lung disease.

The school consulted with the Director of Health, who determined that the bacteria did not pose an “increased risk to the health of students and staff.”

The water system has since been disinfected of the bacteria.

Opinion

Generosity appreciated

To the editor:I would like to publicly thank the

Knights of Columbus and the gen-erosity of our town. In this time of hardship for so many, when the Knights put out their plea to help the veterans, it was answered by so many town residents.

Our veterans who are infirmed

at the Veterans Home in Rocky Hill are ever so appreciative of the sun-dry items as well as clothing that the Knights collected in their annual collection.

I would also like to thank the members of the VFW for the use of their building and parking lot.

Deer, me: It’s a hazard of the seasonIt’s about 5 a.m on a beautiful Oc-

tober morning and the driver of the pickup truck is preoccupied as to what he might see on a bowhunt for deer in northwestern Connecticut.

The pickup truck is traveling through the Housatonic River valley in the dark morning hours when the driver sees movement in the road up ahead. It is a deer — a doe— and she bursts across the road.

Just as suddenly, two more deer leap out into the road and the driver is forced to jam on his brakes, locking up the wheels as the early morning stillness is shat-tered by the sound of squeal-ing tires on the pavement.

Luckily, the driver was able to miss hitting the deer, but the inci-dent did give him a new awareness of the probability of being involved in a deer/vehicle incident that could result in a damaged vehicle and pos-sible human injuries.

I know this incident to be true be-cause I was the driver of that pickup truck quite a few years back.

I also know what it sounds like when a driver is not so lucky when a deer runs out into the road in front of a vehicle. I have heard the sound twice, both times while we had our place up in New York.

The first thing you hear is the sickening thud as the vehicle crashes into the deer. This is usually followed by the panicked squealing of the brakes, but it is already to late to avoid hitting the deer.

Many times the vehicle is inop-erable after the collision and each year close to 200 human lives in the U.S. are lost because of deer/vehicle collisions.

It is interesting to note that you do not have to be in a rural area to have a deer/vehicle collision. This can happen almost anywhere, any-time. Although we have not had deer killed in front of our Dogwood Lane

home in Meriden, deer have been spotted in the road in front of our home and trav-eling through our backyard on the other side of or fence.

For reasons unknown to me, it appears that does and young deer seem to be more susceptible to being hit by a motor vehicle than bucks (antlered males). When we had our place in New York, we had a deer crossing right through our front lawn. Across the street was a farm

field that usually grew corn, alfalfa and pumpkins that the deer seemed to relish.

Because of the crossing area right outside our home, I was able to ob-serve the deer and noticed that the does and young deer would almost wait until a vehicle was upon them before panicking and dashing out into the road in front of the oncom-ing vehicle. The bucks would seem-ingly wait until they were sure that there was no oncoming traffic before they went across the road into the fields.

This time of the year presents a prime time for such accidents with deer to happen. The bucks are beginning to get the urge to mate and are doing a lot more roaming around. This also makes the does a little edgy, and when they are not ready to accept a buck’s attentions they will run away from him. I have also witnessed this in the many hours I have spent in the woods.

Searching for food will also get

deer in trouble as they travel about. I know this sounds unbelievable, but a number of years ago, old friend Norm Van Cor and I spent one early morning cruising the back roads on the northwestern stretch of Con-necticut that borders New York and spotted 124 deer. Most of them were feeding in fields and under apple trees. Many were right in people’s yards!

One day while in New York, I stopped at a local convenience store to get gas and a coffee and the lady inside said to me, “Hi, Mike. Hey, you know, you don’t need to be hunter to kill a deer here in New York. I got one this morning on the way into work with my car. It is go-ing to cost me around $2,400 to get it fixed.”

I asked her if this was her first deer collision and her answer really floored me.

“Nope. This is the fourth deer I have hit while living in New York and every one of them did some serious damage to my cars even though I was not traveling that fast when I hit them. They seem to come out of nowhere and all four acci-dents happened either in the early evening or early morning.”

This is not to say that deer and ve-hicles collide only in the fall. These accidents can happen anytime of the year.

One year when we had our place in New York, Edna and I were head-ing home to Connecticut on the Fourth of July weekend and counted 29 dead deer on the highways we traveled (about 240 miles). They were all does and fawns, leaving one to wonder what kind of motor vehi-cle carnage they caused upon being hit.

I receive an outdoor publication

called New York Outdoor News and they had an interesting article in the Oct. 2 publication titled, “Hitting a deer while driving: What are the chances?” The data was projected as a whole for the insurance indus-try based on State Farm Insurance information.

State Farm’s report said the na-tional cost per claim averages $4,130, up six percent from 2014. (Note: They don’t make vehicles like they used to; today front ends are made out of molded plastics.)

The odds rating for getting in-volved with a deer while driving is based more on the number of licensed drivers in a state and not population. For instance, nearly 10 percent of the country’s deer claims occur in Pennsylvania (126,275 col-lisions), though when taking into account the number of licensed drivers, the state of West Virginia remained at the top of the list with drivers having a 1-in-44 chance of hitting a deer compared to Pennsyl-vania’s 1 in 70.

On a personal note, I know of a man who hit not one, but two deer in Pennsylvania on the same night. Although he did have damage to his vehicle, he was able to drive it after both collisions, neither of which killed the deer.

What’s that you said? You want to know the odds of hitting a deer on Connecticut highways? Connecti-cut is 1 in 293. The other New En-gland states are Maine 1 in 158, New Hampshire 1 in 252, Vermont 1 in 195, Massachusetts 1 in 443 and Rhode Island 1 in 264. Oh, and New York is 1 in 159.

When you think about it, the num-bers can be deceiving. Take Maine,

Mike RobertsWoods

’n’ Water

See Roberts / Page A13


Roberts

for instance. Over the many years I have traveled to Maine for hunting and fish-ing, I have only seen two dead deer on the highways.

The same for Vermont and New Hampshire. Yet when I was in New York, they were almost an every-day occurrence.

According to the State Farm statistics, the top five states where a driver is most likely to have a claim from a collision with a deer, moose or elk are West Virginia (1 in 44), Iowa (1 in 68), Montana (1 in 69), Pennsylvania (1 in 70) and South Dakota (1 in 73).

The state with the least deer/vehicle collisions? Ha-waii, of course, where the odds are 1 in 8,765.

When on the road during this high deer activity time, State Farm advises drivers to use extra caution in areas known for high deer densi-ties. In our area, I would say I-691 and Research Parkway, although they are now just about everywhere.

Wear your seat belt at all times and use your high beams at night when there is no incoming traffic. Avoid swerving (especially into an oncoming lane) when you see a deer. Keep an eye out for deer on the side of the road and, if one crosses, ex-pect more to follow. And do not rely on devices such as those deer whistles.

Oh, and regarding the cost of a deer/vehicle collision, if you do not have collision insurance you are S.O.O.L. (Surely Out Of Luck).

Atlantic salmon stockings

Having the opportunist to fish for the majestic Atlantic Salmon right here in Con-necticut is almost unbeliev-able in my book. The DEEP’s Inland Fisheries Division has already released 250 Atlantic Salmon into Crystal Lake in Ellington and Mt. Tom in the Morris Litchfield area.

They also put 300 salmon into both the Shetucket and Naugatuck rivers recently.

The DEEP will continue to stock the salmon until reach-ing a total of 1,200. Approx-

imately 1,000 of the Atlantic Salmon weigh between 2-6 pounds each. The other 200 will weigh between 3-14 pounds.

Atlantic Salmon brood-stock in the Shetucket and Naugatuck rivers are typ-ically released into three designated areas: between Scotland Dam and Occam Dam in Norwich on the She-tucket River, the Campville Section of the upper Nau-gatuck from Route 118 to the Thomaston Flood Control Dam and the Beacon Falls Section of the lower Nau-gatuck from Prospect Street downstream to Pines Bridge.

In the Naugatuck, Housa-tonic and Shetucket rivers, the Atlantic Salmon are “catch and release” from Sept. 1 to Nov. 30. From Dec. 1 to March 31, the daily creel limit is one salmon. In salmon waters open to

fishing, only gear legal for salmon is allowed.

In lakes stocked with At-lantic Salmon, the regula-tions for methods, seasons, minimum lengths for salmon

are the same as for trout in that specific body of water, but the creel limit is one salmon per day. More spe-cific info on salmon fishing can be found in the 2015 CT

Angler’s Guide. See ya’ and God Bless

America and watch over our troops wherever they may be.

Redcoats top Devils in a thriller

The annual Redcoats-Blue Devils football game, played on Halloween this year,

proved to be a spooky affair for both sides.

L i ke a terrified movie character at-tempting to escape from a clichéd horror film’s antago-nist, Berlin struggled to pull away from their foes most of

the night.When all was said and

done, though, it was Berlin which came out on top with a 14-6 victory at Southington High School as the team moved to 6-1 on the year.

“We had a great week of practice and I’m thankful that our seniors did a great job to-night in leading us to a vic-tory,” said Berlin coach John Capodice.

For Plainville, the haunting continues, as the Blue Dev-ils (3-4) haven’t defeated the

Redcoats since 1999.“The effort for four quar-

ters was great. The kids played their butts off tonight; they played really hard,” Pla-inville coach Chris Farrell said. “It’s a tribute to these se-niors being great leaders. You can’t fault them on effort.”

After more than 24 min-utes of scoreless action, the Redcoats entered the fourth quarter with a slim 7-6 lead and the game very much up for grabs.

It wasn’t until the 7:25 mark

in the final frame that tailback Zach Pajor took a direct snap and scampered to the right pylon for a score that put Ber-lin ahead by eight.

“I was most excited for Zach Pajor. He’s had an injury thats set him back a little this year, and we were able to get him out in space and he did an awesome job. So I’m really proud of him,” Capodice said.

With time to spare, Plain-ville looked to make one final

push to tie the contest. How-ever, a delay of game pen-alty on a fourth-and-one play stalled the Blue Devils’ drive that had seen them charge into Berlin territory with 3:30 to play in the game.

Berlin earned two more first downs to run out the clock.

Minutemen set to grapple again

The Berlin Minutemen will soon return to the mat. Come join this exciting program and learn how to wrestle.

This program will teach the basic moves used in high school.

Nothing like you see on television; no WWE here! Have fun on the mats and be safe. Contests and games will be used to teach basic skills in wrestling.

No experience necessary and participants wrestle against opponents of their own weight and ability.

Wrestling helps improve balance, hand-eye coordi-nation, self-confidence and teaches teamwork. “This is a great program that teaches

many life skills as well as the sport itself,” said head coach Roger Moss.

The program will poten-tially be divided into two groups, depending on the number of participants.

All first- and second-year wrestlers will meet Mondays

and Wednesdays from 6 to 7 p.m.

Those that have wrestled for more than two years will meet Mondays and Wednes-days from 7 to 8 p.m. Open mat practices will be held Fri-

day nights from 6 to 7:30 p.m. for all members of the team. Practices will be held in the McGee Middle School cafe-teria on Norton Road. There will be no practice on days when the school is closed.

Matches against other youth programs will be held on Friday evenings beginning in January.

Registration for the pro-gram will include a T-shirt, USAW Membership, insur-ance and plenty of action.

The program will run Mon-day, Nov. 9 through Wednes-day, March 9. Those looking to find out more before reg-istering may attend the first practice, set for Monday, Nov. 9 at 6 p.m. Participants should wear a T-shirt, shorts or sweatpants, socks and wres-tling shoes or other light-weight sneakers. Clothing with zippers is not allowed.

There is a participation cost. Full details can be found at www.berlinwrestling.com.

than Berlin. Eighteen teams competed in the meet.

Boys cross country

Berlin wrapped up its sea-son with a strong sixth place finish in the CIAC Class MM state championship meet. The Redcoats finished with a team score of 168 to earn the impressive placing among 25 competing teams.

Daniel Perales and Gianni Fanelli were Berlin’s top fin-ishers, as the duo finished in the race’s top 20. Perales fin-ished 12th overall with a time of 17:26 while Fanelli clocked in at 17:39, good enough for 17th. Connor Ladd rounded out the Redcoats’ top three, finishing 40th overall with a time of 18:30.

Alec Berger (43rd overall; 18:36) and Joshua Ladd (56th; 18:54) were Berlin’s other scoring runners. Jake Harris and James Grieco also com-peted for the Redcoats, fin-ishing with times of 19:27 and 20:04, respectively.

Berlin placed just shy of East Lyme (163 team points) and New Fairfield (165) for a top five finish. Guilford (70), E.O. Smith (107) and Joel Bar-low (147) took home the po-dium spots in the class.

Girls volleyball

Needing two wins in their final two matches of the regular season to reach the playoffs, the Lady Redcoats delivered to reach the eight-

win plateau.Berlin bested Plainville and

Windsor to finish 8-10 and qualify for the state tourna-ment for the second consec-utive year.

The team’s week be-gan with a hotly contested matchup with the Blue Dev-ils that took all five sets to decide a victor. After fall-ing behind 1-0, the Redcoats battled back to take a 2-1 set lead. Despite Plainville forc-ing a fifth and decisive frame, Berlin came out on top, 15-11, to keep its postseason hopes alive.

Nina D’Amato and Megan Pskowski had strong matches for Berlin, recording 14 and 13 kills, respectively, while also notching a combined 13 aces.

Angie Perrone had an in-credible match, recording 25 digs and 18 assists throughout the contest. Her sister, Alex, also fared well, finishing the day with 16 digs and 16 serves received.

Berlin finished its regular season schedule with a 3-0 thrashing of Windsor (25-11, 25-11, 25-16) to clinch a spot in the Class M state tournament.

Pskowski, again, had a strong game, manufacturing 12 kills and four aces on the day, while Sarah Pskwoski rounded out the box score with six kills, five aces and two blocked shots. Amanda Lee recorded 11 digs and Ju-lia Lagace led the team with 15 assists.

The team will find out its first-round matchup for the state tourney no later than Friday, Nov. 6.

and the Department of Con-sumer Protection warn con-sumers about mailers that bear the Great Seal of the State of Connecticut, and of-fer a variety of subsidies for various medical problems.

The leaflets are believed to have been sent to hundreds of residents across the state.

The document is headed “Connect icut Resident Health and Wellness Bene-fits Notice,” and requests the recipient to call various tele-phone numbers “for details and qualification.” The mailer says it offers subsidies for a knee or neck brace, hear-

ing aid, diabetes testing and Medicare benefits GAP Cov-erage. Anyone who called one of the listed telephone num-bers was asked for personal information, including their Medicare or Social Security number and contact details for their physician.

“Although the telephone numbers have been taken out of circulation, this scam serves as a reminder to con-sumers to be wary of any unsolicited document that re-quires giving out personal in-formation over the telephone, at your front door or by email or text,” warns Department of Consumer Protection Com-

missioner, Jonathan A. Har-ris. “An official-looking seal can be easily copied and used by scammers to mislead consumers.”

Better Business Bureau and the Department of Con-sumer Protection say this sort of fraud presents several red flags if:

It asks for a Medicare num-ber in exchange for equip-ment, services or discounts on lab tests

It uses pressure or scare tactics to sell expensive materials

It offers non-medical ser-vices as Medicare-approved expenditures

first quarter with a 14-yard run to give the Redcoats an early 7-0 advantage. Plainville struck back later in the frame with a 13-yard score from Jon Lindgren on the quarterback keeper. Berlin blocked Plain-ville’s extra point attempt to maintain the lead throughout the contest.

Despite a low final score, the game proved to be a testa-ment to the strong defensive efforts from each side. Both squads, known throughout the years for their compact option running attacks, im-plemented different schemes to best maximize their talent.

Berlin went with a direct snap scheme, lining up tail-backs such as Pajor, Jack Hamel, Owen Taylor and Garrett Guite.

Plainville opted for a spread option attack, often using four or five wide re-ceiver sets and countless jet sweeps and quarterback counters to help maximize the talent of Lindgren, Mikal Salmon and Corey McKisson.

While each offense was able to move the ball through-out the middle of the field, both defenses stood tall time and time again.

“I thought defensively, ev-eryone did a good job,” Far-rell said of his Blue Devils. “I thought early on we did

a bad job of tackling, which is something we worked on this week (in practice), and I thought it was something we did a much better job of throughout the rest of the game.”

While the loss dropped Plainville below .500 for the second time this season, the win for Berlin helped to re-move the taste of a bad loss to Avon. While the Redcoats are still very much in contention for the playoffs, the matchup

with the Blue Devils proved that the home stretch with be far from a cakewalk – for ei-ther team.

“This time of year it gets a lot harder to win; everyone’s scouting each other, every-one’s getting tendencies, so it gets more and more difficult as the season goes on,” Cap-odice said.

Berlin will wrap up its home schedule Friday, Nov. 6 matchup with Tolland (2-5). Kickoff is set for 6:30 p.m.

We won’t let new windows impact your holiday spending.Why? Because you won’t pay anything until next November. Breathe easier this holiday season with no money down, no payments and no interest for a whole year1.

Don’t take a chance on a vinyl window. Vinyl windows can warp, leak and cause drafts, so trusting a poor-quality vinyl window is a poor choice. Our window’s Fibrex® composite material is twice as strong as vinyl.

You’ve got enough on your plate this time of year; we’ve got this.We build, sell, install and warrant all of our windows; that means there’s no middleman to deal with, and as the replacement window division of Andersen, we’re about as trustworthy as you can get.

November 1st to November 27th only!
