The Nov. 8 ballot will be a straightforward affair in Berlin: candidates for Board of Assessment Appeals, Board of Education, Police Commission and Town Council. That’s it, according to Charles Warner, Democratic registrar of voters. He said that, in an odd y e a r , there are no state or federal offices on the ballot. However, for the first time, in many years, Democrats will top the ballot. That’s because the party of the governor determines the order of ballot, according to Elizabeth Tedeschi, Republican registrar of voters. Between the Rowland and Rell administrations, Republicans held the top spot since 1995. Democratic party Gov. Dannel Malloy took over in January. Warner said that, in general, towns’ ballots and voting records are getting extra scrutiny this year. That’s to make sure there are enough ballots to go around on Election Day. Registrars, in all 169 towns, are now required to submit, to the Secretary of the State, election returns for the past four years for the secretary’s office to analyze. Furthermore, registrars will provide information on how many ballots will be ordered for each voting district. If it’s determined that not enough ballots are being ordered, more must be obtained, Warner said. If a

town’s registrars do not submit this information, the secretary’s office can order the town to purchase enough ballots for all registered voters. These new requirements were put in place after the Nov. 2, 2010 ballot shortage in Bridgeport. In that instance, the Bridgeport registrars ordered 21,000 ballots, although there are nearly 70,000 voters in the city. Registrars stated, in interviews with various news media, that Bridgeport typically had boxes of leftover ballots and that ballots had been ordered based on an average turnout for the previous three elections. In Berlin, registrars held an “order of ballot” lottery Sept. 15 to determine which name got the top spot on the ballot. Town Council candidate Democrat William Watson III was selected. After Watson the order of ballot is Democrats: Rachel J. Rochette, Stephen M. Morelli, Adam P. Salina, and William A. Rasmussen Jr. The Republicans: Eric Buhrendorf, Frances Geschimsky, Charles Paonessa and David K. Evans. Also on the ballot are candidates for the Board of Assessment Appeals (vote for two): Democrats Michael Anderson and Charles A. Frederick; and Republican Karen Maier Drost. For Police Commission (vote for three) are: Democrats Bradford J. Parsons and Ryan T. Zelek; and Republi-

Historic district looks for boost with new certification By Olivia L. Lawrence The Berlin Citizen

The Historic District Commission will apply to the state to upgrade its status to a Certified Local Government. The move could,

among other benefits, help the historic area of town develop tourism. The plan won approval from the Town Council during its Oct. 4 meeting. “There are so many plusses,” said HDC vice

chair Lorraine Stub. As a CLG, more grants, training and influence would be gained for the historic commission and therefore, the district. For example, certain historic preservation grants are distributed by the National Park Service and are only available to CLGs. Also, a CLG has a greater role in the National Register of Historic Places nomination process. There are 42 towns in Connecticut that are currently certified local governments, and 1,600 nationwide. Stub said the HDC was encouraged to make the application

by Mary Dunne, an architectural historian who works for the state’s Culture and Tourism Office in its historic preservation and museum

division. Dunne is coordinator of local government grants. She encouraged

Meet the candidates

The Berlin Citizen asked all candidates, who will appear on the Nov. 8 ballot, to participate in this election feature which began last week and will conclude Oct. 20. Those running for Town Council, Police Commission, Board of Assessment Appeals were invited. Board of Education candidates had coverage in a separate feature. All candidates for Town Council, except for Republican Eric Buhrendorf, responded to the request. Buhrendorf was the subject of an interview in the Sept. 1 edition of The Citizen. Candidates were also given an opportunity to tape a short video statement to be

posted on The Citizen website; an additional way to communicate with voters. Only three candidates, all Republicans, chose to do that: Charles Paonessa, David Evans and Frances Geschimsky. Look for their videos at www.berlincitizen.com. In addition to basic personal information, candidates were asked to provide residents with information in regards to the best way to contact them. We also asked Town Council candidates two questions and other candidates one question. Slight variations in the way candidates responded to the questionnaire are a function of individual style.

Stub said in the 1980s, a survey made note of historical houses in the district, but the survey did not include other type of buildings or sites. This is the sort of document that, with funding, could be updated and made more comprehensive. In order to become certified, a commission must be in place and its members must have a certain level of expertise as well as be “strongly preservation minded,” Stub said. Creating design guide-

Town Hall staff liaison to the project will be Director of Planning Hellyn Riggins. “People come to Berlin to see the old houses and buildings,” Stub said, explaining this is the “historic tourism” aspect of preserving the past that becoming a CLG would help improve.

‘Goat Man’ leaves legacy of storytelling, goodwill By David Huck Special to The Citizen

(This story originally was written Oct. 3, 2007, for a Berlin Fair edition of The Berlin Citizen, however, it was not published and this is the first time this Ed Linn story has been in print.) Ed Linn was in the middle of a 5 p.m. milking demonstration in the goat and sheep barn at the annual Berlin Fair when he asked the crowd of children

perched on the wooden stall if they had ever tasted goat’s milk before. Then without warning, Linn turned the teat of the goat and sprayed milk across the large pen toward the children. Astonished at his accuracy, the children giggled in awe, while their parents laughed. “Now-a-days you can’t do that anymore,” Linn said, 90. “The parents now say, ‘Who’s going to clean my child’s clothes’?”

Times have changed, but Linn’s relationship with the Berlin Fair is still as devoted as the day he received a desperate phone call from organizers looking for farmers to fill an empty barn. For over 30 years Linn has been bringing a few goats from his herd to the fair, delighting the crowds with young goats—which he describes as friendly and calm. “I’ve got the reputation of being the ‘Goat Man’—it’s better than being known as a

For company he has three ducks, eight chickens (“two were killed by the ‘coons”), and two golden retrievers, Cindy IV and Sandy IV, on a three-acre plot tucked in the woods on Edgewood Road. Linn’s neighbor, Janice Sakowicz, has been living next door to Linn since 1959, and recalls his quiet and friendly demeanor, often bringing over fresh eggs. “He would always say ‘If the grandchildren are over, bring them over to see the kids, I’ve got twins’,” Sakowicz said, adding that Linn would have the goats do tricks for the children. Just last year, in anticipation of turning 90, Linn gave

Two arrested at store for shoplifting with reusable bags

Berlin police arrested two alleged shoplifters at the Farmington Avenue Stop & Shop Oct. 9. According to police, the men allegedly attempted to steal items by packing them into reusable shopping bags and walking out of the store. Lt. Jim Gosselin said the first arrest occurred at 3:07 p.m. and the second at 4:24. According to police, Kevin

Sansone, 25, of South Windsor, attempted to steal a “high value infant formula.” The six items he allegedly placed in his shopping bag were worth about $96. A loss prevention officer, employed by the store, saw the incident and waited outside the cashier’s area. Gosselin said Sansone by-passed cashiers and attempted to leave the store. When the store’s offi-

cer tried to stopped him a “brief altercation” occurred. A Berlin Police Department officer was in the store and assisted with taking Sansone upstairs where he was subsequently charged

Group provides answers to ‘what is gluten?’ By Jeanne Segrue Special to The Citizen

I am on the Board of Directors for the Central Connecticut Celiac Support Group. We meet on the fourth Monday of every month at 6:45 p.m. at the Berlin Community Center. In 2009, my four year-old daughter, Katherine, began complaining occasionally of stomach aches and tiredness. Our pediatrician suggested blood work. Katherine’s blood tests came back positive for celiac disease and Katherine was sent to Connecticut Children’s Medical Center for an upper endoscopy with biopsies. Katherine was diagnosed with celiac disease and we were told to eliminate all

gluten from her life. I read everything I could about celiac disease and gluten-free living. Our family was tested for celiac since this is a hereditary disease. Imagine my surprise when my tests came back positive. I was truly shocked since I didn’t think I had any of the symptoms. Celiac disease has over 300 different symptoms and for many people, there are no overt symptoms at all. It is an autoimmune disease, not an allergy to gluten. It affects approximately one in 133 people and that number seems to be on the rise. Celiac disease is responsible for the malabsorption of nutrients and it can be completely controlled by diet and lifestyle. Gluten sensitivity is even more common than

Yet, the damage is still being done internally. What is gluten, anyway? You won’t find it in the ingredients list and yet it’s in so many of the foods you eat, the beverages you drink, the medicines you take, the soaps, shampoos, and cosmetics you use, the communion hosts you receive, and yes, even craft items you use. “Gluten is a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye. It is not destroyed by grinding or cooking. It is not broken down or absorbed into the body until food reaches the small intestine. Gluten is hard to digest, so chewing and stomach acids don’t

celiac disease. Our family was blessed to have a wonderful pediatrician who caught this disease in my daughter. On average, a child will visit eight pediatricians before being diagnosed with celiac disease, and it takes approximately 11 years for a person with symptoms to get diagnosed. Undiagnosed and untreated, this disease can cause many long-term and lifethreatening conditions such as: osteoporosis, nervous system disorders, anemia, infertility and miscarriages, cancer, pancreatic disorders, and other auto-immune disorders. Symptoms of this disease are even more numerous: abdominal pain/bloating, anemia, constipation, diarrhea, dehydration, delayed puber-

Obituaries Paul Karam

Paul John Karam, 71, of Essex, formerly of Kensington, peacefully passed away Oct. 3, 2011 surrounded by his loving family following a courageous battle with leukemia. Born in New Britain, he was the son of the late John and Nanajan (Kanish) Karam. He graduated from New Britain High School and went on to obtain his Bachelor of Music degree at Boston University, later earning advanced degrees at Central Connecticut State College and the University of Connecticut. A dedicated music educator for more than 35 years, he began his career in Poughkeepsie, N.Y. but soon relocated back to Connecticut where he worked in the Berlin Public Schools, the majority of his career as the Director of Music for the district. He touched the lives of countless students many of whom went on to pursue careers as musicians and music educators. His love of music was second only to his love and dedication to his family. Along with his high school

sweetheart and wife of 49 years, Mary (Flood) of Essex, he is survived by his four children, Cori Humes and her husband Brian of Kensington, Christopher Karam and his wife Alison of Killingworth, Heather Price and her husband Kevin of East Haddam and Patricia Wyskiewicz and her husband James of New Britain. His pride and radiant joy were his eight grandchildren: Kelly and Steven Humes, Paul Karam, Sarah and Christopher Price, Tristan, Landon, and Aiden Wyskiewicz. He also leaves his brother, Albert and wife Gleora of Westbrook, and many nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his sister, Rose Karam. Services were held Oct. 8, 2011 at Deep River Congregational Church, Deep River. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Paul J. and Mary P. Karam Music Scholarship Fund at the Community Foundation of Greater New Britain, 74 Vine Street, New Britain, CT 06052; the Deep River Congregational Church P.O. Box 246, Deep River, CT 06417; or the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, 1311 Mamaroneck Ave., Suite 310, White Plains, N.Y. 10605-1311.

Edward A. Linn Edward A. Linn, 94, of Kensington, passed away peacefully Oct. 4, 2011. Born in New Britain, on June 9, 1917, he was son of the late Edward and Mollie (Josephson) Linn. Ed served in the United States Navy during World War II on the USS Clark, a destroyer. He attended Henry Ford’s Naval Training School in Dearborn, Michigan. He was employed at Corbin & Russwin, later Emhart Corporation where he was a tool maker and supervisor. After taking an early retirement in 1972, Ed started his own goat dairy and farm. His goat’s milk was used to nurse many local children. He was known for bringing his goat’s to local fairs, nursing homes and vacation bible schools. He also raised chickens, ducks and practiced bee keeping. Ed en-

joyed using his greenhouse and large garden and loved providing family and friends with vegetables. He had a love of Golden Retrievers, raising four generations of “Cindy and Sandy”. Ed was known around town for his red van, often accompanied by his dogs or a goat or two. Ed was a dedicated life long member of the First Lutheran Church of the Reformation in New Britain. He was very proud of his ham radio license which he received at age 80. He enjoyed using his computer to keep in touch with friends as far away as Japan. He was a member of Berlin VFW Post 10732, where he will be remembered for his jokes and stories, as well as playing Santa Claus every year. He was also a member of the Berlin Lions Club and the Kensington American Legion Post. He is survived by his devoted niece Lori Miller, her husband Matt and their children, Megan and Matthew of Kensington and his niece Susan Tyler and her husband Jon of Burlington. He was predeceased by his brother, Raymond Linn. Per Ed’s wishes, there are no calling hours and burial will be private. A public cele-

bration of Ed’s life was held Oct. 6, 2011 at First Lutheran Church, New Britain. Donations may be made in Ed’s memory to First Lutheran Church, 77 Franklin Square, New Britain, CT 06051. Carlson Funeral Home, New Britain is in charge of arrangements.

Better options

Taxpayers first

To the editor: Who knows how to put Berlin taxpayers first? Republicans Dave Evans and Kari Drost on the Town Council do. In these hard economic times they voted ‘no’ to retroactive pay raises. They knew the unnecessary additional burden this would put on taxpayers. I also believe they recognize such raises do not represent the realities of what is happening to the majority of workers who make their home in Berlin. Who do I trust leading our town and recognizing our realities? Republicans Charlie Paonessa, Eric Buhrendorf, Fran Geschim-

To the editor: Republicans on Town Council have better options. During this most recent budget David Evans offered over $350,000 in budget reductions that met prior year spending levels in many areas only to be met with a Democrat opinion that there might only be $15,000 left to reduce in the budget and that it would be a futile exercise to do it for that amount of money. To me this is 335,000 reasons why it is worth the effort. I encourage you to vote Republican for Town Council (David Evans, Charlie Paonessa, Eric Buhrendorf, Fran Geschimsky) for all these reasons and more. Anne Reilly Berlin

That’s dedication To the editor: Now that our 63rd annual Berlin Lions Fair is history, it is time to publicly thank some of those that make it happen; Upbeat volunteers. The Lions Memorial Food Booth was fortunate to have countless volunteers from the program during the weekend and even on Monday. This fine group of young men and women is lead by a tireless volunteer herself, Alice Mitchell. She along with other adult leaders, namely Pat Tedesco, Tom and Cathy Riccio and Dwight Hewins assisted our club in operating this very busy booth. The positive impact of the Upbeat program is not always easily measured, but from my experiences and observations it truly demonstrates a strong sense of community pride as well as spirit. I know that I can speak for See Letters, next page

Two residents who made Berlin richer By Olivia L. Lawrence The Berlin Citizen The town lost two old military men recently, Kip Benson and Ed Linn. The kind of folks who make a Linn place like Berlin a rich, intere s t i n g town, a place with character. Clifton “Kip” Benson, a Benson World War II Army vet, was 93. Ed “the Goat Man” Linn, a sailor in World War II, was 94. Your family may have lost someone from that generation in the past few years. Even though many are living good, long lives, the local veterans’ organization reminds us we’re losing the last of the World War II generation faster every day. It’s not a surprise, but it makes you stop and think about the history, the connection to another time, the incredible life stories that we won’t hear again, not first-hand. (Although Berlin High School did a project to record veteran’s stories.) I was lucky enough to meet Kip and Ed and to hear a little of their stories, I’m glad I had that chance. A story I did with Kip was one of my first features in The Citizen. He met me at CCSU, in the archeology department to show me around an exhibit of arrowheads and other artifacts he’d collected and donated to the school. He wasn’t young then, in his

80s, but he was full of life, passionate about the finds he’d made over the decades. Years later, we had lunch together, with a few of his family and friends, and some story going around the table caused Kip to burst into song, something he remembered from way back when, so he sang every verse right in tune. Kip died Sept. 21. He’d been a businessman, vice president of a family business Mildrum Manufacturing in East Berlin. He was also a square dance caller and auctioneer. Ed and Kip were men of many interests and farreaching knowledge. Like many of you, I used to see Ed driving around town, an animal or two in the back. I only got to chat with him once. That was during a ceremony to honor World War II veterans. He was at the event wearing his Navy uniform, as tall and straight, I imagine, as he’d been 60-plus years before. Ed had served in the Navy on the USS Clark, a destroyer. He attended Henry Ford’s Naval Training School in Dearborn, Michigan. He had a firm handshake and was kind enough to spare me a few minutes of his time even though he was swept up in the festivities. Ed died, Oct. 4. From talking to people who knew him and reading his obituary, I know he was an original, someone who kept active as long as he possibly could. He began raising animals and farming after he retired and he got his ham radio license at 80. He learned to use a computer and kept in touch with friends on the other side of the world. He shared his life with the community, visiting See Memoriam, next page

Your story

Scarecrow festival has become a meaningful tradition By Terri Noyes Special to The Citizen

Guarding the crops of the rural farmer stands the humble scarecrow. Old clothes, materials swaddled around a post, some with faces, some without, their purpose to protect the gardens of their creators. In Berlin, Saturday, Oct. 15, you will see these protectors of gardens but in a new light —welcoming in the Fall season on Farmington Avenue and Main Street. The seventh annual Scarecrow and Fall Festival opening ceremony will take place at 11 a.m. at Volunteer Park. Fall foliage activities for children are scheduled to begin after the ceremony, until 1 p.m. Community members, businesses, and civic organizations can create a scarecrow for this annual event. A small entry fee covers the cost of the prizes awarded for first, second and third place winners in the adult and children’s division. A grand prize is awarded for the Best Berlin Scarecrow.

There is still time to register. Contact the Parks and Recreation office at (860) 8287009. As Rose Wollman co-chairperson for the event has said “I have a dream.” Her dream was to have scarecrows line the streets of Berlin welcoming autumn. Along with myself co-chairperson, and the support of the Parks and Recreation Department, Public Grounds Department, town officials, the Chamber of Commerce, Berlin Schools, Berlin-Kensington YMCA and a variety of civic organizations, this dream has come true. Over the years, the uniqueness of the scarecrows, as well as the message sent from their creators, has astounded residents. Whether it’s a business advertising wares; a civic organization telling everyone what their organization is about; or the scarecrow made for someone special — all are special in their own way. Here are a few examples to jog your memory of past en-

tries: a kindergartener with hand-printed class sweatshirt; the Wicked Witch of Berlin; the Trick or Treater Band; a Brownie Girl Scout with candy corn teeth. There are more such as a giant caterpillar, tooth fairy, CVS pharmacist, a giant purple and red bird, ladies having tea, golfers, Mary Poppins, gardener with purple and yellow flowers, Mother Earth, UConn Fan, robo-nut and dog, Pirates of the Carribean, Marjorie Moore, nutcracker, insurance agent, pink flamingo, forklift driver, Elvis, furniture worker made out of furniture parts as well as lamp shade. The list goes on…can you picture them? Join us as we make another year of scarecrow memories.

Cain comes in first in local straw poll Herman Cain won the presidential straw poll at the Berlin Republicans Town Committee booth at the Berlin Fair this year. Other candidates — Bachman, Gingrich, Romney, Perry, and Paul — didn’t even come close. Cain drew 31.4 percent of the attention of those who participated. Republicans used the straw poll as a fundraiser for the Wounded Warriers Project which helps service men and women returning home from current service. Votes for candidates included a contribution to the project. Buckets were set up with the names and Citizen photo by Olivia L. Lawrence faces of each of the Republican The local GOP held a strong presidential poll at candidates for president. Cain is syndicated columnist the Berlin Fair. and radio host from Georgia. He also is a business man, former banker and a mathematician who worked in ballistics as a civilian employee for the Navy. He is a minister at Antioch Baptist Church North. The Berlin Fair victory is not the first for Cain. In September, he won in an upset, in a Republican presidential straw poll in Florida, beating Rick Perry who had been ahead in polls. A total of 306 votes were cast in the Berlin straw poll with the following results: Romney 6.5 percent; Bachman 7.2 percent; Perry 7.5 percent; Gingrich 12.4 percent; Paul 15 percent; Cain 31.4 percent.

The laws, rules and regulations handed down by the town, state and nation are so important to the officer on the street. To assist these officers in their training, as far as schools go, is just one of the many jobs of a police commissioner. Our job is to find the money to do this.

One scam, run several times in Berlin, was a scenario in which the would-be burglar would go to a house and knock on the door — two other people stand-by as part of this “ring.” If the homeowner answered, the wouldbe burglar would merely ask for directions. If no one answered, the perpetrators would find a way in and burglarize the house. In an Aug. 6 incident on Orchard Road, a neighbor had these “visitors” stop at his house to ask directions. He then saw them move on to another house on the street. He reported what transpired and was able to help police identify the parties involved. Ultimately, police arrested Philip Earl Rowe, 43, and Angela Cianfaglione, 41, of Hartford. “We asked people to keep an eye out, let us know if they see something unsual — people know what belongs in their neighborhood and what doesn’t,” Klett said. “The vigilance of a neighbor helped us get those guys.” Klett said that good neighbors are the “biggest thing” when it comes to a deterrant to crime.

Berlin inches closer to state tournament berth By Nick Carroll The Berlin Citizen That time of the season has arrived when middle-ofthe-road teams begin to seriously assess their odds of qualifying for the state tournament. Berlin is one such squad. Prior to a match with Middletown last week, BHS volleyball coach Bob Tarigo gave his team the scenario. “We have 10 games left, and we have to win five of those 10 games to make the state tournament,” he said. Later that night, Berlin’s magic number was down to four as the locals swept Middletown, 3-0. The Lady Redcoats improved to 4-5 with the win. “Their goal right now is to make the state tournament,” Tarigo said of his troops. “I told them, in order to make the state tournament you’ve got to be more mentally tough, and you’ve got to be a lot more consistent.”

Consistency certainly has not been Berlin’s strong suit this fall. Two days before they knocked off Middletown, the Lady Redcoats were dealt a 31 defeat by Plainville — a team hovering around the .500 mark. Berlin made 41 unforced errors in that one. “The major difference between the Middletown game and the Plainville game is that we gave Plainville a lot of free balls. We didn’t attack them to the point that we had to make them work on defense,” said Tarigo. “The Middletown match, we made them make plays … Hopefully we’re becoming more mentally tough than we had been.” Lia D’Amato had a good night against Middletown, registering 10 service points, nine kills and 16 digs. “She’s just been a steady force all year long,” Tarigo said of D’Amato. “She’s been the most consistent player we’ve had from game to game.”

Titans set to clash

Brittany Labbadia had a solid showing against Middletown as well. She had 10 service points, seven kills and 10 digs. Rachael Zelek (11 assists, 20 digs) and Alicia Maule (17 assists) added to the Lady Redcoat attack. Megan Long, MacKenzie Freeland, Kelly Walsh and Jessica Naples also have turned in good work for Berlin as of late. With half the season in the books, Tarigo said things have unfolded as he anticipated. “My biggest concern was lack of power at the net. And that’s proven true so far,” he said. “I hope I’m wrong as the year goes on.” On the positive side, Tarigo expected his defense to thrive this year, and it has. “Our defense is as good as we’ve had in years past, or better,” he said. UPDATE: Berlin inched closer to the state tournament with a 3-1 victory over East Catholic Friday. Once again, Lia D’Amato did a little bit of everything for the Lady Redcoats. She had 11 service points, eight kills and 25 digs.

Harriers make special visit to NYC By Nick Carroll The Berlin Citizen

The Berlin High School football team improved to 4-0 on the year with a 43-0 victory over Weaver Thursday night at Scalise Field. Tommy Undercuffler, pictured, had three touchdowns. Next up, the Redcoats will face their old foe Northwest Catholic (3-1) Friday night at Scalise Field. Game time is 7 p.m.

This past weekend, the Berlin High School cross country teams took the time to slow down and reflect. The Redcoats visited the recently-opened National September 11 Memorial & Museum in New York City on Sunday. “They were very, very respectful. Every single one of them,” Berlin coach Steve Soucy said of the local athletes. “They really understood what is going on and what had happened. They grasp it pretty well.” Originally, the BHS cross country teams’ overnight visit to NYC was to center on competing in the Manhattan

Invitational. Unfortunately, the CIAC did not allow the Redcoats to take part in the event because it was held on a Sunday. But race or no race, the BHS runners were eager to make the trip to the Big Apple. While there, the locals visited Central Park, Battery Park, Times Square, Rockefeller Center, and of course, Ground Zero. “It’s very well done. It’s hard to say something like that is ‘nice,’” Soucy said of the somber National September 11 Memorial & Museum. “It was a really good opportunity for the kids.” Late last summer, Soucy contacted the museum to inquire about obtaining passes for his team, and was told

that would not be possible, as 400,000 people were ahead of him in line. A couple weeks back, however, the coach received another call from the museum, this time to let him know spots had opened up. “We were really lucky to get passes,” said Soucy. Prior to heading off to New York City, on Saturday, the BHS cross country teams took part in the Wickham Invitational in Manchester. Earlier in the week, the locals took on Platt and Plainville in Meriden. The Berlin girls swept. The boys earned a split. The Lady Redcoats had the first 11 finishers against out-

Coats’ Notes

At press time, the Berlin High School boys soccer team owned a record of 4-3-2. Last week the Redcoats fell to Plainville, 2-1, then battled Conard to a 0-0 stalemate. Berlin gave Central Connecticut Conference South Division-leading Plainville all it could handle. “Any time we play Berlin, it’s a hardfought contest and it takes on a little more importance,” Plainville coach Tim Brown said. “They respect us and we respect them, and it’s almost always a one-goal game.” A late goal by scoring machine Daquan King ultimately lifted the Blue Devils. “We moved Daquan back to midfield a little bit in the second half to ease up the marking on him. He had more of the field in front of him and that did open up a few lanes,” said Brown. “Good players like him, even when they are dormant for a while, they tend to show themselves at some point. You can’t deny them all game long.” Kyle Lavoie scored for Berlin on an assist from Alex Bednarek, knotting the score at one in the first half. “Our team discussed an individual and team strategy leading up to this game,” BHS

coach Dave Francalangia said. “One of the elements was to limit Daquan King from getting the ball and limiting his chances up front.” Bednarek was tasked with marking King, a senior. “This sophomore did a remarkable job shutting him down,” Francalangia said. Conard was another worthy adversary. “This team has tied Farmington and beat some quality sides,” Francalangia said. “We matched up well against them. It was a defensive struggle with both teams not giving the other an inch … Conard is a very good team, and we matched their intensity.” The Berlin High School girls soccer team’s seven-game undefeated streak came to a rather stunning end last week, as the Lady Redcoats were defeated by Northwest Catholic, 7-0. The victors improved to 8-0. Berlin dropped to 6-2-1. Prior to running into Northwest Catholic, Berlin held off Plainville, 4-2, in overtime last week. Shannon Murphy knocked in two goals for the Lady Redcoats, one coming in OT. Olivia Hale and Autumn Edelson also scored for the locals. — Nick Carroll

was big,” said Berlin coach Amanda McCarthy. “We lost to Newington last year, but this year the girls were focused and ready to swim.” There were several big performances in the Newington meet. Kate Piotrowicz won the 200 yard freestyle, Kelsey Kozikowski won the 100 yard butterfly, Brianna Cass won the 50 yard freestyle and Leah Pawelczyk won diving, and in the process, broke her own school record with a score of 182.10. “Taylor Recck and Holly Chirico also came up big for us,” said McCarthy. The Redcoats went to 6-0 with the win over Holy Cross. Kozikowski was a doublewinner, taking both the 100 yard butterfly and the 50 yard freestyle. Amanda Martino won the 100 yard backstroke and Pawelczyk again won diving. Jenna Paradis also had a big day off the 1-meter board by qualifying for states with a score of 165. Overall, the Redcoats have seen 10 swimmers and divers qualify for postseason statelevel competition. Other than the two divers,

these include Piotrowicz, Cass, Recck, Joanna Wojtun, Katherine Burek, Martino, Kozikowski and Kayla Cervoni. “The girls are working really hard at practice, and their times show it,” said McCarthy. In other meets earlier this season, Berlin defeated Man-

chester 95-83, rival Plainville 93-82, E.O. Smith of Storrs 105-78 and also defeated the cooperative program of Bulkeley/Hartford Public/ Classical Magnet. Berlin — which swims its “home” meets at Platt High in Meriden — takes on Windsor Locks on the road Friday.

matched Platt and Plainville. “We went into this race treating it as a training run and focusing on running together as a pack,” said Soucy. “We planned on running the first 2.5 miles steady and then picking it up in the last half a mile or so. They followed the plan and proved that they are getting stronger heading into the second half of the season.” Kaylene Sylvain (21:43) finished first. She was followed by Brittany Sullivan (21:50). Nicole Grieco, Nicki Sylvain, Taylor Lupini, Paige Young and Alex Carbonell rounded out the top seven. The Berlin boys handled Platt, but came up short against Plainville, which owned the top three spots. “We knew coming into the meet that we would have to

run our best team time and hope for the best as Plainville has a strong team this year,” said Soucy, whose troops managed to shave 42 seconds off their season-best time that afternoon. The Redcoats’ top six finished under 20 minutes, with four of those runners clocking sub-19 races. Brendan McLarty, James Dwyer, Matt Kall and Will Cavedon placed in the top seven for Berlin.

Thursday, October 13, 2011 — The Berlin Citizen

Legacy Continued from page 6 away the remaining few goats he had to Terry Hall, another local farmer. After braving a wretched New England winter storm of ice and snow, getting up in the dark of early morning to care for his animals was “finally enough,” he said. It’s still months away but Linn has already had his niece take a picture of him for his Christmas card to send to friends. The picture is Linn standing in his garden next to his 1950’s Farmall tractor. In the forefront is a wooden table, a white table cloth and eight of his Polish

tomatoes proudly displayed. Linn frequently wears his navy blue Tin Can Sailors: U.S.S. Destroyer hat, a reminder of the Second World War he fought in over a halfcentury ago. As part of his strong commitment to upholding patriotism. “Your vote is more powerful than a gun,” Linn says to the students, hoping that one day they appreciate the country they live in. “You should be an American first, then you should be a Democrat or Republican,” he said. Linn is often asked by many of the local middle and elementary schools to give talks to the students. When he visits the schools, Linn often brings along a few of his

tious humor is hard to miss. On Oct. 5 — opening day of the Berlin Fair — spectators will not see Linn alongside his goats — but the “Goat Man” will be there in the sheep and goat barn to watch the faces that passed before him for so many years.
