Vietnam vet’s heroism displayed at HubbardBy Olivia L. Lawrence

The Berlin Citizen

This Veterans Day, a prom-ise to a Gold Star mother willbe kept.

Lillian DeMore cherishedevery medal and award herson Michael DeMore re-ceived for his duty in Viet-nam. Michael, a non commis-sioned Army officer died inthat war at24. He earneda PurpleHeart, SilverStar andBronze Star.He “heroical-ly gave hislife while try-ing to aidwounded soldiers,” accord-ing to a new display aboutDeMore to be installed atHubbard Elementary School.

A dedication of the dis-play will take place at theschool tomorrow, Nov. 11,during Veterans Day activi-ties.

“Maybe the kids will getan understanding” about theVietnam era, said MarilynMorrill, a cousin to Michael,and one of only two remain-ing relatives. She along withcousin, Louise Baccaro,

asked Dick Benson, also aVietnam era veteran, to helpthem with a project thatwould preserve Michael’smemory and perhaps add tothe history of those difficulttimes. “This way, Michaelwill not be forgotten.”

Benson talked about hisinvolvement. “I made a com-mitment to Lily that theitems would be preserved ata place special to Michael.”Lillian DeMore died last win-ter at the age of 94.

Benson and Michael De-More grew up together, even-tually ended up in the serv-ice at about the same timeand shipped out to Vietnam.

Michael left in July 1969.He would be killed threeweeks later. That event waspart of a particularly darktime in Berlin’s history.Within the course of the nextthree months, two moreyoung men, Robert E. Bittnerand Michael J. Dinda wouldalso be lost in the war. Ben-son, also a Purple Heart re-cipient, would be seriouslyinjured a few months later. InNovember 2006, the townrededicated a recreationalcomplex at East Berlin as theBittner, DeMore, Dinda Pool.A granite monument in their

memory was placed at thecorner of the park.

Michael DeMore was theonly child of Lillian andGeorge DeMore. He loved hisdays at Hubbard school andeventually went on to highereducation that included a de-

gree from Fairfield Universi-ty. He planned to study law atTrinity College, but it looked“inevitable” that he would becalled to service and so hesigned on, Morrill said.

Some of Michael’s medalshad been preserved in a

“shadow box” but his PurpleHeart, silver and bronze starcertificates still needed ahome. Ultimately a displaycase, with most of hisawards, was put together. It

Browne’s daughter, Kath-leen Harrington, spent Sun-day night at McGee Schoolwith an elderly companionin her care. “Berlin camethrough for us,” she said.“There were nice new pil-lows, fleece blankets andsomeone who came aroundto tuck us all in.” She praisedTown Manager Denise Mc-Nair, who helped set up cotsand brought in doughnuts onMonday morning. The facili-ty itself was comfortable un-til 4:30 a.m. when the air con-

ditioning suddenly came onand the cots had to be movedinto the hallway to get out ofthe freezing cafeteria. Smallchildren and six or seven eld-erly people were put up inseparate faculty lounges tokeep them warm.

About 50 residents stoppedin at lunchtime on Mondayfor a warm slice of pizza, cof-fee and cookies. Bob Gor-dona, 96, of Kensington wasbrought in by his daughter.

Special to The Citizen

Elizabeth Browne of theWebster Heights section ofBerlin had a rough Sundaynight, Oct. 30, without powerand temperatures dippingbelow freezing. “I went to

bed with my clothes on andcovered up with extra blan-kets, but woke up every cou-ple of hours to the sound oftrees cracking in the yard.”On Monday, fed up with coldsoup, she decided to get awarm meal at the McGeeMiddle School emergency

shelter.“It wasn’t easy to find

help,” she said. “People nolonger have transistor radiosand just try to find townnumbers in the telephonebook these days. I finallycalled 911 to get the informa-tion I needed.”

Town carries on in wake of stormBy Olivia L. Lawrence

The Berlin Citizen

The Oct. 29 storm causedproblems ranging from in-conveniences to seriousproperty damage. Therewere no local deaths directlyattributable to the rareNor’easter. Lesser — but stilldistressing issues — weremostly related to tree dam-

age and power outages.Deputy Chief John Klett

at the Berlin Police Depart-ment described a busy weekthat required putting an ex-tra person on dispatch in or-der to handle the volume ofcalls. At the height of thestorm, a third dispatcherwas placed at a firehouse callcenter. The number of in-quiries police received was

Residents sent many photos to The Citizen in the daysafter the Oct. 29 blizzard. Scenes from the storm dis-played on pages 4 and 5 were contributed by AmyPrescher, Antoinette Morante, Jay Ritter, and Kather-ine Hannon.

“off the chart,” he said. Mostof the calls were in regardsto problems with trees, wiresand blocked roads.

A shoving match at a lineat a Valero gas station did re-quire police intervention,Klett said. There also were anumber of fender-benders,due primarily to black ice.

Of course, downed trafficlights caused motorists plen-ty of uncertainty. On theBerlin Turnpike, police bar-ricaded crosscuts, in an at-

tempt to minimize problems.A fatality, Oct. 31, near theIrving station, was not relat-ed to weather or road condi-tions, Klett said.

The town opened a shelterat McGee Middle School. Asmany as 50 people came forlunch at one point and morethan two dozen stayedovernight, according toTown Manager Denise Mc-Nair. Kensington Fire Rescueoffered water to residents inneed. After the storm, as much

as 70 percent of the townwent dark. Town Hall andsome businesses downtownwere spared. Three days afterthe storm, 61 percent ofhouseholds were withoutpower.

Late in the day, Nov. 3,about a third of the town wasstill without power, includinga substantial area of EastBerlin. By the next day, sub-stantial progress had beenmade with all but eight per-cent still out.

The school district did nothold classes for the week.

Gas lines and dead cellphones were two obvious in-conveniences. Around town,several gas stations wereclosed, orange cones block-ing the entrances, but thosethat were open such as theShell station on FarmingtonAvenue had a line thatstretched out for a block.

At Dunkin Donuts numer-ous tables held customersrecharging cell phones atwall outlets or plugging in

computers. The conversationaround the tables — peopleswapping horror stories withfriends and strangers, alike— revolved around status re-ports such as: “I wore my hatand gloves to bed.” “It was 42degrees in my house lastnight — that’s cold.”

Others talked about thedamages they’d seen in areasof East Berlin, the Chamber-lain Highway, and in theirown, and their neighbors’,backyards.


Restoration was overall satisfactory for townCL&P liaison BobSnell a key factor

By Olivia L. LawrenceThe Berlin Citizen

Mayor Adam Salina says,relative to many towns in thestate, Berlin caught somebreaks during the Oct. 29storm and as the restorationbegan. Still, he characterized

the week after the storm as“a very difficult time.”

More than 60 percent ofresidents spent several dayswithout power and therewere tons of debris to becleared in order for towncrews and power crews to getstreets, businesses and resi-dences back to near normal.

Two factors helped Berlinrecover. First, Town Hall didnot lose power and so criticalcommunications were neverdisrupted — a key to respon-siveness and smooth coordi-nation.

A second piece of good for-tune was Berlin’s Connecti-cut Light & Power liaison,Bob Snell. “He was invalu-able to the town,” Salina said,explaining that Snell knowsthe town, the people and thestreets, and therefore was

able to make sure prioritieswere addressed quickly.

Salina described a processwhere town staff got outmaps to pinpoint areas ofdisruption for CL&P. Howev-er, there were challenges. Forexample, an outage in EastBerlin couldn’t be locatedfrom the ground. A helicop-ter was brought in and CL&Pwas able to find the cause, atree on a wire in a denselywooded area. A crew went inon foot to clear the area andmake the repair.

A complete assessmenthasn’t been done, but at thispoint it does not appear thatthere were any incidents thatcaused catastrophic damageto people or property. Salinawas optimistic that the townwould qualify for FEMAfunds and Gov. Dannel Mal-

loy has announced that Pres-ident Barack Obama author-ized additional FEMA assis-tance for Connecticut.

Salina said there will be acurbside pick-up scheduledfor storm debris sometime inthe next couple of weeks.

Most areas of town wererestored by the end of lastweek, by Friday outageswere down to a few hundredcustomers and many ofthose customers were re-solved by the next day.

The National Guard as-sisted in some restoration ef-forts, for instance, oversee-ing operations at a sewerpumping station on Middle-town Road. Salina said theguard stays out on an assign-

misses American food, hisdog Scooter, sleeping in andhanging out with his bud-dies. He was anxious to getback to the states to cele-brate his 21st birthday, belat-edly, with a real drink ratherthan a root beer which is parfor the course when sta-tioned at a combat outpost.

Landon’s camp is locatedoutside Khandahar in theArghandab River Valley ofsouthern Afghanistan.“Most people think it’s adesert, but it’s more likeVietnam. There is a lot of

vegetation here and I’ve eat-en the best vegetables of mylife,” he said.

The mission of Landon’splatoon is to protect the val-ley and prevent insurgent ac-tivity, especially the move-ment of people and weaponsacross the river. “Land minesand IEDs are the biggestproblem. You won’t find oneuntil you step on it,” hesaid. Troops rotate each daybetween foot patrols, guardduty and observation posts.Landon says it gets to be agrind because there are nodays off and staffing is short.An infantryman, Landonwas trained as SAWgunner. Although being inthe infantry is one of thetoughest jobs, Landon feelsit’s an essential position forthe success of the war.

Accommodations consist

of a cot crammed into a largetent that sleeps 12. Food isprepared in a fold-out trailer.“When we first got here,there was no cook, and wehad to eat MREs,” Landonsaid, describing Meals Readyto Eat as less than delectable.Fortunately, Landon has aprivate source of food pro-vided by his father. “I’m oneof the lucky ones. I get apackage almost every week,”he said. He’s also receivedfood, candy, toiletries andmagazines from Rockin’ 4the Troops.

The most challenging as-pect of daily life is dealingwith native pests includingextra large spiders, snakesand scorpions. “I’ll fight theTaliban all day,” Landonjoked, “but keep me awayfrom those spiders.”

“The family is proud to do-nate his military awards” toHubbard school, states an in-sert in the memorial.

A statement from theArmy, in its Silver StarAward to Michael DeMore,recounts his deeds.

“Sergeant DeMore distin-

guished himself by intrepidactions on Aug. 20, 1969,while serving as a platoonsergeant with Company A,3rd Battalion, 21st Infantry.On that date, the companywas conducting a search andclear operation near PhuVinh Dong, when it encoun-tered a large North Viet-namese Army Force. In theensuing battle, Sergeant De-More unhesitatingly exposedhimself to the insurgents inorder to supervise the evacu-ation of casualties. As theenemy fire increased, it be-came increasingly difficultto remove the wounded fromthe field. With complete dis-regard for his personal safe-

ty, Sergeant DeMore ran for-ward, drawing the hostilefire upon himself and en-abling other members of theunit to evacuate the casual-ties. At this time, he was crit-ically wounded but contin-ued to maneuver on an ene-my bunker and succeeded insilencing the emplacementwith hand grenades.”

The statement continueswith gruesome details of De-More’s wounding as he triedto help others. It concludes:“His courageous and timelyactions were directly respon-sible for saving the lives ofhis fellow soldiers.”

Emergency communicationsfrom the governor’s office

(Gov. Dannel P. Malloy up-dated mediaand the pub-lic with a se-ries of com-municationsduring thelead-up to theOct. 29 storm,and in thedays that fol-lowed. There were daily con-ference calls with municipali-ties as well as morning pressconferences with updates dur-ing the day. Here are a few ofthe measures he took as out-lined in press releases from thegovernor’s office. These pro-vide a timeline of concernsand activity.)

Oct. 28 — Malloy warnsresidents to be prepared forpossible power outages thisweekend due to heavy snow.

Malloy

“Without ringing the alarmbells about snow in Connecti-cut, the reason I’m warningresidents about this particu-lar storm is because of thepossibility of power out-ages,” said Malloy. “So todayand tonight, think aboutwhat you’d need if the powerwent out – batteries, battery-powered radios, flashlightsand of course ways to keepwarm – extra clothing andblankets and be sure to checkyour generator if you haveone. Hopefully this won’t be ablockbuster storm, but it israre to have this type of po-tential so early in the sea-son.”

Oct. 29 — The state ofemergency declaration Gov-ernor Malloy signed Satur-day in response to this week-end’s severe snowstorm pro-vides him with certain emer-gency powers he may utilizein response, including thesuspension or modificationof certain state statutes.

In advance of possiblepower outages due to theforecast heavy, wet snow,Malloy will open the Emer-gency Operations Center atthe Hartford Armory on Sat-urday, Oct. 29 at 2 p.m.

Oct. 30 — Malloy has re-quested an emergency decla-ration from President Oba-ma to assist with clean upand recovery efforts for therecord storm that hit thestate yesterday. If granted,

the declaration would givethe state access to direct fed-eral assistance, as well as re-imbursement for 75 percentof certain emergency protec-tive measures.

“Connecticut is now in thevery first stages of recover-ing from a storm of a magni-tude and at a time of yearthat we have never experi-enced before. Hundreds ofthousands of households arewithout power or heat, travelconditions remain danger-ous, and damage to our elec-tric infrastructure contin-ues,” said Governor Malloy.“I have asked President Oba-ma for federal assistance,and I am urging Connecticutresidents to stay off theroads, let tree and DOT crewsget out there, clean up andassess the damage.”

State urges food and watersafety precaution duringstorm recovery. With thou-sands of households in thestate without power, it is im-portant to take precautionwith food that has spoiled orwater that has been contami-nated.

Oct. 31 — Following Hart-ford Mayor Pedro Segarra’sdecision urging Hartfordfamilies and children to ab-stain from trick-or-treatingin the city tonight, Malloyannounced that the Gover-nor’s Residence, typically a

The followingexcerpts from press releasesover the past week also con-tain information that resi-dents may find valuable asthey go about their own per-sonal recovery from thestorm; i.e. waiving of latefees on electric bills and flex-ible payment programs.)

Oct. 29 — As the Octobernor’easter makes its waythrough the state, Con-necticut Light and Powerhas opened its EmergencyOperations Center inBerlin. Over 200 CL&P lineand tree crews are workingto restore power to cus-tomers affected by outages

and the company is in theprocess of securing addi-tional help. “As was predict-ed, the heavy, wet snow isweighing down the treesand creating issues acrossthe state,” said Al Roy,CL&P’s manager of Emer-gency Management. “Ourcrews and support staffcontinue to respond as thestorm moves through andwe are communicatingwith town and state offi-cials to coordinate efforts.” CL&P will be assessingstorm damage as soon as itis safe to do so. An estimateas to when power will be re-stored will be availableonce the assessment iscomplete. We appreciateour customer’s patience.

Oct. 31 — Nearly 204,000CL&P customers have beenrestored in the wake of arare October snowstormthat at the peak knockedout power to more than

831,000 homes and busi-nesses served by Connecti-cut Light & Power (CL&P).

“We expect the pace ofrestoration to quicken asdamage assessments arecompleted, blocked roadsare cleared and additionalcrews arrive to help withthe effort,” said Jeff Butler,CL&P’s president and chiefoperating officer. “Our pro-jection for completerestoration remains thesame: we expect it to take aweek or more in some ar-eas. We will continue bring-ing in more crews to im-prove on that projection.And we will provide moredetailed restoration esti-mates as soon as we havesufficient information tooffer specific projections –most likely tomorrowmorning for many of thetowns in the southwest andeastern sections of thestate.”

A significant differencefrom Tropical Storm Ireneis that CL&P transmissionlines were damaged. Trans-mission lines take powerfrom the generating plantswhere it is made and deliv-er it to the local distribu-tion grid. Workers are dedi-cated to address these criti-cal transmission outagesand have already restoredthirteen (13) of the dam-aged lines. Even when thetransmission lines arefixed, there may still be agreat deal of work to thedistribution system to becompleted before cus-tomers have power.

Nov. 1 — CL&P contin-ued to make good restora-tion progress overnightwith over 265,000 cus-tomers restored thus far.This morning, restorationprojections are availablefor 50 towns in eastern andsouthwest Connecticut atwww.cl-p.com/stormcen-ter/estimates. “We knowthat what our customerswant most is informationabout when their powerwill be restored,” said Jeff

roads and assess damage be-fore we can provide accurateestimates.”

Today, there are over 770line and tree crews at workacross the state. Staging ar-eas have been set up at LakeCompounce in Bristol, theformer Timex building inMiddlebury and FairfieldHills in Newtown so we canefficiently deploy large num-bers of crews and materialsto the communities where

are “from the electric compa-ny” or “CL&P.” CL&P has re-ceived reports of customerswho were contacted and toldthat service to their homewould be repaired for $200cash. The individual was not,in fact, working for CL&P. AllCL&P employees carry com-pany-issued photo identifica-tion and any contractor elec-tricians working with CL&Pcarry documentation ex-plaining the nature of theirwork at a specific address.

Nov. 4 — Over 1,800 lineand tree crews have now re-stored power to over 593,000customers since last week-end’s snowstorm. As of 8p.m., approximately 253,000CL&P customers remainwithout power.

“We now have more peopleinvolved in this restorationwork than with any storm inConnecticut’s history andthe pace is actually ahead ofwhat was accomplished fol-lowing Tropical StormIrene,” said Jeff Butler,CL&P president and chiefoperating officer. “We are notletting up on our goal to get99 percent of all customersback on by Sunday night.”

CL&P reminds customersthat it is waiving late feesand will arrange flexible pay-ment programs for those cus-tomers who experienced un-precedented losses and dis-ruptions to their lives.

Over 400 members of theConnecticut National Guardhave been teaming up withCL&P crews to open roads inheavily damaged areas of thestate.

Game time is 7 p.m.Pictured: Platt can’t stop Berlin’s Wojtus Zak fromgetting into the end zone.

By Nick CarrollThe Berlin Citizen

The Berlin High Schoolgirls soccer team was soready to return to action af-ter the snow storm layoffthat the Lady Redcoats glad-ly shoveled Scalise Field lastweek in order to make itplayable for their scheduled

game with Plainville Friday.“This group is great. They

said ‘Sure, we’ll do it. Noproblem,’” said BHS coachSteve Yanosy.

“The girls did a great job. Itold them it was some re-sume-building in case theywant to get a job in the win-ter.”

Berlin and Plainville

would battle to a 0-0 double-overtime tie, and for the LadyRedcoats that result was goodenough to gain them the Cen-tral Connecticut ConferenceSouth Division title, outright.

The conference crown isthe seventh for the BHS girlssoccer team and the fourthfor Yanosy, who took thereins of the program in 2002.

Pointing out that his rosterincludes 16 seniors, Yanosysaid he is not surprised atBerlin’s success this fall. Thelocals ended the regular sea-son with a stellar mark of 10-3-3.

“We have a good, solidgroup of seniors,” saidYanosy. “We just talked a lotabout leadership, and being agood core group. We talk a lotabout ‘what do you want to beremembered as?’ This groupreally took it to heart, andbattled. We haven’t done itwith 4-, 5-0 wins. It was a lot of

one-goal wins. They fought.”The Plainville stalemate

was another bruising battlefor the Lady Redcoats. Theold foes played into overtimethe first time they locked upthis season as well. Berlinprevailed in that one, 4-2.

With last week’s tie, theLady Blue Devils movedtheir record to 9-5-1.

“It doesn’t matter who theplayers on both teams are, italways seems to be a toughgame for both teams. It’s al-ways a battle,” Yanosy said ofthe Berlin-Plainville clashes.“We’ve gone into overtimewith them probably the mostof any team that we face,

year to year. It’s a good rival-ry.”

By Nick CarrollThe Berlin Citizen

In a rare occurrence in sports, two rivalsmet up and both walked away pleased.

The Berlin and Plainville High Schoolboys soccer teams battled to a 1-1 double-overtime tie at Scalise Field Friday, and theold foes were content with the outcome.

For Plainville, the deadlock meant itwrapped up its second straight Central Con-necticut Conference South Division title,while for Berlin the tie likely earned it a first-round home game in the CIAC Class L statetournament.

The Redcoats, who ended their regularseason with a record of 8-4-4, begin statetournament play Friday, Nov. 11. Bracketswere released after press time. Visit berlinci-tizen.com for details.

“The goal is to win a state championship,”said BHS coach Dave Francalangia, who nav-

igated his team to the Class L semifinals in2010. “I wouldn’t be saying that 10 years agowhen I first started coaching. But with thesuccess we had last year, these guys believein themselves … Anybody can win the ClassL tournament. There are some very goodteams, without a doubt, but if these guys playthe way they played today (againstPlainville), I’ll go up against anybody.”

Jake Haynes scored on an assist from Bra-jan Cano to give Berlin the halftime lead Fri-day. Plainville (11-2-3) didn’t come up with theequalizer until late in the second half whenJames Thompkins netted a header, whichproved to be the final goal of the afternoon.

“The days that we could practice thisweek, we worked on a counter-attack gameplan, and it almost worked to perfection,”Francalangia said. “They (Plainville players)were frustrated. They were flustered. Theypossessed the ball 70, 80 percent of the game,

McGee sweeps at invitationalThe McGee Middle School

boys and girls cross countryteams competed in the Mid-State Middle School LeagueInvitational recently, andboth came away with aleague championship.

McGee, coached by PaulGriswold and Sam Dix, pre-vailed over Cromwell, Gris-wold-Rocky Hill, ThomasEdison Magnet-Meriden,Portland, RHAM-Hebron,Strong-Durham, and EastHampton.

For the McGee girls, the

invitational win capped anundefeated 10-0 season. TheLady Spartans were led allseason by captain MichelleGrieco, Chloe Ezzo, LisaGrieco, Nicole Vasil, Saman-tha Bengiovanni and JuliaSisti.

Ezzo finished first overallat the invitational. She wasfollowed by Michelle Grieco(second), Lisa Grieco (sev-enth), Bengiovanni (eighth)and Vasil (ninth).

This is the third year in arow the McGee girls claimed

the league championship.The McGee boys rolled up

a record of 9-1 this year. Pow-ering the Spartans wasJonathan Jahn, who placedfirst in every meet, as well asat the invitational.

McGee’s Jake Harris fin-ished third at the invitation-al. Kevin Russell, JonathanZoccoli and John Ezzo alsocame up big for the Spartans,who brought home their firstleague championship since2002.

‘Coats NotesCall it a three-peat.With its 41-6 victory over

Platt Saturday night in Meri-den, the Berlin High Schoolfootball team improved to 7-1 and claimed its thirdstraight Central ConnecticutConference Division IIIchampionship.

“Our first goal is alwaysto win a conference champi-onship. The second goal is toqualify for the CIAC play-offs, and the third goal is towin the state champi-onship,” said BHS coachJohn Capodice. “In order toget goals two and three, wehave to accomplish goalnumber one, and that’s towin the conference.”

Capodice said BHS foot-ball’s sustained dominanceis no accident. “It’s the pro-gram, the system, the coach-es and the players. Whenyou put it all together, we’vebeen able to have a lot ofsuccess.”

Entering this season withjust two returning starters,expectations were not par-ticularly high for the Red-coats. However, led by a dedi-cated senior class, highlight-ed by veteran two-waystarter Tommy Undercuffler,Berlin has thrived.

“I think we have started togrow,” said Capodice. “We’vereally started to settle inwith our offensive line,which has taken time. Thekids have started to grow attheir position, and now wehave expanded a little bitand allowed them to play ad-ditional positions, and Ithink it’s starting to help uson both sides of the ball.”

Capodice praised the re-cent work turned in by hisoffensive line. The O-line iscomprised of Justin Zup,Dan Laviana, Hector Ro-driguez, Chris Meucci andMitch Blanchette. “The pasttwo games they have made abig difference,” saidCapodice.

Next up, Berlin hostsBloomfield (5-2). The Red-coats expect a battle.“They’re a good team.They’re explosive offensive-ly. They have good speed,”Capodice said of theWarhawks. “They’re a suc-cessful program, and they’refighting for a playoff berthas well.”

After being out of actionfor two weeks thanks to thefreak snow storm, the BerlinHigh School volleyballteam returns to the court to-day, Nov. 10, for the openinground of the CIAC Class Lstate tournament.

The layoff “is going to af-fect everyone equally. Every-one is in the same boat,”said BHS coach Bob Tarigo.“It’s going to depend on whocomes out of this in a posi-tive way.”

The Lady Redcoats enterthe Class L fray with arecord of 8-10. Tarigo hopedto go .500 during the regularseason, but the locals fell alittle short of that goal.

“We could have been atthat (.500), or over that a lit-tle bit,” said Tarigo. “But asit turns out, that’s not whathappened. But the girls nev-er quit. They keep playinghard. I have no problem withthat.”

The way Tarigo sees it,what happened leading up tothe tournament is forgotten.“It’s really a five-game sea-son for us now. We just playone at a time,” the veteranhead man said.

If Berlin is to stickaround beyond Round 1, theLady Redcoats must play dis-ciplined volleyball. “Wecan’t make too many un-forced mistakes,” said Tari-go. “We’re not the kind ofteam that can attack, attack,attack. We have to do differ-ent things with the ball atthe net, and find open spots.I’m really pleased with howthey’ve adjusted to what Iasked them to do.”

The state tournamentmarks the final go-round forBerlin’s Lia D’Amato,Rachael Zelek, Brittany Lab-badia, Meghan Long,Mackenzie Freeland, JessicaNaples, Kelly Walsh and Vic-toria Fagan.

The senior crew has beenwith Tarigo for four years.“They work hard. They’vegotten better. I can see theimprovement,” said thecoach.

Swimmers look to keep momentum upBy Jim Bransfield


Add the Berlin High girls swim team to theendless list of organizations impacted by theOctober snowcalypse.

“That our conference [Central Connecti-cut Conference] meet was canceled was sodisappointing,” said BHS coach Amanda Mc-Carthy. “I feel so bad for my girls who workedso hard and especially for my seniors forwhom it would have been their last big hur-rah. I know there was nothing I or anybodyelse could do about Mother Nature, but I stillfeel horrible for my girls.”

On the other hand, for some of the Redcoatswimmers, the season continues. McCarthyhas 10 swimmers and two divers preparingfor the state Class M postseason. The divingcompetition will be Monday, Nov. 14 atPlainville High School.

The swimmers will be in the Class M trialsSaturday at East Hartford High School. Thetrials winnow down the field and the top fin-ishers will advance to the Class M statechampionship meet Tuesday, Nov. 15, atSouthern Connecticut State University. Thenthe top finishers from all four Class meets —LL, L, M and S — will advance to the StateOpen Nov. 19 at Yale University in NewHaven.

The two divers from Berlin are LeahPawelczyk and Jenna Paradis. “They just

started diving again Monday,” said Mc-Carthy. “The facility we used [Berlin Highhas no pool] was being used for a shelter, soit’s been a while since my divers have prac-ticed.”

Of the 10 swimmers, eight have met thequalifying times for states, while two othersmay make the list.

The qualifiers — the state each year setsminimum qualifying times in each event —are juniors Katherine Burek (100 yard back-

stroke), Amanda Martino (100 yard back-stroke, 100 yard freestyle) and Joanna Woj-tun (200 yard individual medley, 100 yardbreaststroke); senior captains Briana Cass(50 and 100 yard freestyles), Kate Piotrowicz(50, 100 yard freestyles), and Taylor Recck(100 yard freestyle); and freshmen KelseyKozikowski (50 yard freestyle, 100 yard but-terfly) and Kayla Servoni (100 yard back-stroke).

“My two alternates are both freshman, Ar-ian Silas in the 100 yard butterfly and the 200yard individual medley, and Holly Chirico inthe 100 backstroke,” said McCarthy. “I’m go-ing to bring them along in any case.”

Berlin will also have relay teams compet-ing made up from the qualifying swimmers.

Berlin’s regular season was successful asthe Redcoats compiled a dual meet record of9-2.

Elizabeth Browne was one of many residents whostayed at the town’s temporary shelter after the stormshut off electricity.

“We ate at the ParadiseRestaurant in New Britainlast night. There were a zil-

lion customers,” he said,adding that after dinner hereturned home where thetemperature was 55 degrees.

Theresa Rundle, a live-innurses’ aide of Berlin Av-

enue, spent the night at theshelter with her elderly pa-tient. Her job was made more

challenging by the adjust-ment to unfamiliar circum-stances and a lack of sleep.

Having grown up in the tem-perate climate of AfricanGhana, she fantasized aboutgetting an airline ticket andreturning home to her fourcollege-age children, and get-ting some rest.

Mohamed Mountassir ofHudson Street came to theshelter, with his wife and twochildren, to warm-up andhave lunch. He’d tried toweatherproof his house withplastic wrap, but the indoortemperature had reachedabout 48 degrees. His son,Omar, was ambivalent abouthis unexpected snow day. “Iwas trying to build a snowcastle, but my toes got toocold in my sneakers. Plus, Iwas looking forward to get-ting back my spelling testfrom Friday.” The Mountas-sir family planned to spendthe afternoon at the mosqueon the Berlin Turnpike.
