Miller stepped up to help town wherever needed By Olivia L. Lawrence Associate Editor
A remembrance
Registrar of Voters Elizabeth Tedeschi recalled the summer of 1984 when she and John Miller unexpectedly took over the duties of registrars. The former registrars had resigned and the two political parties quickly voted in replacements. Neither Miller nor Tedeschi had any experience with the job and a presidential election was right around the
corner. Somehow, they muddled through it together and now years later, Tedeschi recalled Miller as a dedicated public servant who “was a nice guy to work with.” Miller, 90, died Nov. 2. A memorial Mass is scheduled for 10:30 a.m. Nov. 14 at Sacred Heart Church in East Berlin.
Turning fitness on its head
His list of accomplishments and community involvement is long and diverse. He was a longtime member of the Berlin Democratic Town Committee and worked on elections, picnics and dances to benefit the organization. He served on the Board of Finance. He was a member of the Knights of Columbus, serving at one point as Grand Knight. He was active in the Sacred Heart Men’s Club and Hubbard School PTO. He was executive director of the Berlin Chamber

of Commerce and executive director of the Berlin Redevelopment Commission. He originated a local Man of the Year award. He was president of the Berlin PTA Council. He was an active member of the Civitan Club of Berlin — serving as president and treasurer along the way — raising funds for numerous causes including assistance to those with mental retardation.
The Town Clerk’s office reports a total of just under 36 percent of registered voters coming out to the polls Nov. 3. The district with the highest turnout was District 4 at the Senior Center with slightly more than 39 percent turnout. The district with the lowest turnout was District 2, at the American Legion, with just under 33 percent turnout. It appears that turnout could have made a difference. The vote was close with a spread of less than 800 votes separating any two Town Council candidates. Mayor Adam Salina, a Democrat, earned the most votes with 2,916; while Republican incumbent Joan Carey earned the fewest with 2,167. That’s a difference of 749. Carey lost her seat to fellow Republican David Evans by just 178 votes. The results of Election Day will bring several new names into the spotlight. Meet your new representatives. On the Town Council: Bill Rasmussen Jr., 49, an unaffiliated, ran with the Democrats. He works as a financial advisor for Ameriprise Financial Services. During the
campaign, Rasmussen said he has experience helping individuals and businesses to Rasmussen meet their financial goals and that process is similar to one the town engages in as it goes about making a Maier-Drost b u d g e t . Striving for increased quality of education, meaningful economic development and important Evans social prog r a m s ; while exercising fiscal restraint is not easy to do, he said, adding that Democrats’ Campanelli team was working to meet that challenge. Rasmussen joins Adam Salina, Steve Morelli, Rachel
Rochette, and Robert Dacey in council chambers as well as the Republicans listed below. Salina returns for his fourth term. Topping all other candidates for votes, it is likely Salina will continue as mayor. Rochette will begin her second term, while Dacey and Morelli begin third terms. The following two candidates will bring minority party representation to the Town Council. Karin “Kari” Maier Drost, 36, won the largest share of votes of any of the Republican candidates. During the campaign, Drost said it is difficult to get answers from government sources and she wants to represent a voice for citizens. “As a member of the Town Council, I would like to listen to the people and act based upon their feedback.” Prioritizing projects and services in tough economic times is one of the town’s most pressing issues, Drost said, adding that she has strong analytical skills as well as a background in business and finance. In his second bid for a council seat, Republican David Evans, 43, made the cut. Evans works as a senior

are a detractor from getting the best out of you.” CrossFit was started in California by Greg Glassman and became an internet hit. Though it became almost ghoulish watching the severe workouts to see the end results, McKenzie cautions those are somewhat unique. “Our workouts are very popular with the military and fire and police because their lives depend on how fit they are,” he said. “There is a CrossFit at Camp Pendleton, for example. “But we can scale any workout for the fitness level of the person. We can have a Navy Seal train right next to a stay-at-home mom and they could do the same workout. It would just be a scaled down workout for the mom. It’s not only the super fit that come here, you come here to get super fit. Our oldest member is a 57-year old man and we have members down to 22years old, both men and women.” So what can CrossFit offer that local gyms can’t? “I hope they think there is nothing that I can do differently or they think our workouts are crazy because then I will always have a niche,” McKenzie said. “Most gyms

CrossFit Berlin owner Merle McKenzie spent 10 years as a personal trainer and massage therapist in the major gym world. Then he saw the movie “300.” “I saw previews of the movie and saw some videos of how the actors were trained,” McKenzie said. “It was kind of an internet sensation so I followed it for a while and fell over CrossFit on the internet. I had used some of the CrossFit techniques in my personal training but it was a real eyeopener for me. I decided to go get trained and certified with the idea that I would open my own CrossFit.” According to its website, CrossFit is the principal strength and conditioning program for many police academies and tactical operations teams, military special operations units, champion martial artists, and hundreds of other elite and professional athletes worldwide. The program delivers a fitness that is, by design, broad, general, and inclusive. The specialty is not specializing. Combat, survival, many
sports, and life reward this kind of fitness and, on average, punish the specialist. The CrossFit program is designed for universal scalability making it the perfect application for any committed individual regardless of experience. “We’ve used our same routines for elderly individuals with heart disease and cage fighters one month out from televised bouts. We scale load and intensity; we don’t change programs. The needs of Olympic athletes and our grandparents differ by degree not kind. Our terrorist hunters, skiers, mountain bike riders and housewives have found their best fitness from the same regimen.” McKenzie, whose business is located on Woodlawn Road in Berlin across from Morande Ford, said the workouts are varied and only repeated to test how far the individual has come in terms of their fitness. “We deal with functional movements,” he said. “These movements are performed at high intensity to gain elite fitness. If you are walking on a treadmill and can concentrate on what is on the TV in front of you, you aren’t working hard enough. TV’s

DesRosiers lucky to be alive after serving at Iwo Jima By Maura Gaffney Special to The Citizen CitizenVeterans features stories about local U.S. military veterans as a tribute to their service and sacrifice. Every Veterans Day, Edwin DesRosiers visits the Iwo Jima Memorial Monument in New Britain. The monument depicts the flagraising on Mt. Suribachi in 1945 as captured in Joe Rosenthal’s famous photograph. It also honors the 100 Connecticut men who died during the battle of Iwo Jima. DesRosiers is a member of the Iwo Jima Survivors Association which built the memorial, and he shares his incredible story about Iwo Jima and all of the battles in which he took part in hopes that future generations will remember and appreciate all that was sacrificed. DesRosiers enlisted in the Marine Corps on Nov. 11, 1942 and was assigned to the 4th Marine Division. “I was sent to communications school to work as a telephone lineman,” he said. Then after several months of intense training in California, members of the “Fighting Fourth” shipped out to join the war in the Pacific. “We never knew where we were going before an invasion,” said DesRosiers.
“They put us on a ship, and when we were three days out where nobody could communicate with us, they told us where we were going.“ His first invasion was to be on the twin islands of Roi-Namur in the Kwajalein Atoll of the Marshall Islands. The invasion of Roi-Namur was significant because it was the first offensive into Japanese territory, and the large airfield on Roi Island was a main objective. DesRosiers was in a field artillery battalion (1st battalion, 14th Marines). “I was on the pack howitzer, a small cannon that we could take apart and carry wherever we needed fire power. I was in the communications section.” He explained, “When you fire a cannon, you have to know what your target is. So, we’d establish communication between the gun and the forward observers and the other battalions. We’d run wire out and operate the switchboard. It took a lot of maintaining, because the wires were lying on the ground, and the enemy was all around and you never knew who was going to cut the wires or what was going to happen.” DesRosiers’ battalion shelled Roi-Namur using the nearby island of Ennubirr as an artillery base. “We landed at dusk on Ennubirr

We fired all night long at Roi-Namur to soften up the island for the invasion troops. At 9 a.m. we ceased firing, and the other part of our outfit went in and took the island on Feb. 1, 1944.”

“Five days later, when the battle was over, our battery commander said, ‘You guys did nothing, you had a piece of cake. Now you’re going to go over there and bury the Japs,’” DesRosiers recalled
using the colloquial term that was common during the war. “So they brought us over and we buried 3,400 of them. We went over with bulldozers and dug trenches. We had to pick up the dead bodies that had been lying in the hot sun. They were swollen. Some were limbless. We picked up every one of them, walked up to the trench and threw them in. It stunk so bad that we were all throwing up continuously. We couldn’t bury them all that day, so we stayed there that night. We couldn’t sleep. We just waited for daybreak. We finished the next day, and they brought us back to Enniburr. We didn’t eat for days.” DesRosiers and his fellow Marines were put on a troop ship back to Maui, their home base. Then in May, 1944, they were shipped out again aboard an LST (Landing

Chamber auction set for Nov. 13. Fuechsel promises that visitors will encounter “A sea of visual delights.” Pat Amato, a chamber board member and vice president of operations at the credit union, takes the lead in creating the overall look of the auction. “She makes it look beautiful,” said Fuechsel who’s been working with Amato on organizing the final details. Proceeds from the event go to help the chamber and also to provide scholarships for local students.

News in Brief Wine tasting The Berlin Athletic Boosters are hoping everyone will come out to the 10th annual Wine and Beer Tasting, set for Nov. 14 from 7-10 p.m. at the VFW in New Britain. Some of the highlights of the event will be a Thanksgiving Table complete with the appropriate wine choices to go with turkey. There will also be a Christmas table with wines to accompany a Christmas ham or other beef products. There will be a UConn table with the wines of UConn women’s basketball coach Geno Auriemma. That table will also have raffle tickets for upcoming men’s and women’s basketball games. “It’s a sports theme this year,” said organizer Alicia Conway. “We figured since we’ll probably have a sports crowd we’d play to that. The raffle will have CCSU season tickets, UConn men’s and women’s basketball tickets, tickets to the Rock Cats and
Wolf Pack. Also there will be gift certificates to various restaurants, Roger’s Marketplace, Bill’s Pizza and memberships to Powerhouse Gym.” Tickets are available through booster members and at Berlin Spirits. For more information contact Alicia Conway at aliciaconway@comcast.net.
Band fares well The Redcoat competition band competed in the USSBA Northern States Championships. The Redcoats earned a fourth place finish out of a field of 17. Additionally, our percussion section placed second and the colorguard placed third. “This national-level competition really brought out the best in the band members.

Most gyms don’t deliver what they promise.” On this day, Jason Kaplan of New Jersey demonstrates the Workout of the Day or WOD. Different workouts are named for different client names from the original CrossFit and today’s workout is called the “Diane.” It includes dead lifts of 255 pounds and handstand wall pushups. The first set is 21 reps, then down to 15 then down to nine with very little rest in between. The goal is to complete those sets as fast as possible. Kaplan has become legendary and is featured on many youtube videos. He is short, but stacked powerfully and completes the whole workout in two minutes and 16 seconds. Others listed on the wall do it in 13 minutes or 22 minutes. It all depends on ones fitness level. “That would usually be all for my workout for the day,”

retirement age when he became registrar, “he managed to do quite well and couldn’t wait to go to town hall every day,� Kevin Miller said. One reason was a chance to visit with his good friend Jack Ross, who headed up Berlin Water Department. Ross died earlier this year, but the two were known as fast friends to those who worked with them at town hall. John Miller was born and raised in Hartford but after his marriage he made his home in East Berlin and became closely involved with the community. Miller had a number of careers throughout his life and pursued higher education over the years, as well. He worked for 18 years as an elementary teacher at Martin Luther King School in Hartford. Anita Miller said her husband would often go to students’ homes to visit with their families and he put a Christmas present for each student under a tree in his classroom. He also worked for a time with P. Ballentine & Sons and was a top salesman for the beer company. The job moved the family around for
a while, but Millers’ heart was always in East Berlin and town life. Anita Miller is a lifelong resident. Later, John Miller became proprietor of Plaza Liquors, one of a multitude of enterprises — several of which involved his wife, too. They worked together on many projects such as a real estate business and Middlesex Youth Hockey. The family liked to camp and John Miller was always working to improve the experience. He was quickly voted in as a counselor at one campground and worked on projects such as brining movie night to the pavilion at Hammonasset State Park. “He was a people person,� Anita Miller said. “He wanted to be in ‘it’ — and if he wasn’t in it, he’d invent it.�

Armed robber threatens woman at Bank of America By Olivia L. Lawrence Associate Editor
An armed robber, who held up a woman outside the Bank of America, Nov. 8 threatened to kill her. The suspect, still at large, faces numerous charges including first-degree kidnapping. Berlin Police Department reported the incident took place at 10:03 a.m. Sunday at a bank located at 525 New Britain Rd. where a Citgo/Foodbag employee was making a deposit. According to police, the woman was robbed at gun point. A black automatic pistol was shown and the sus-
pect threatened to kill the employee if she did not give him the money.

Dr. Michele’s HEALTH TIP of the MONTH: Health Savings Accounts: The Gift of Health and Wealth Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) make it affordable to keep yourself healthy! For patients that are interested in natural health care, HSAs are a win-win. Despite the rising costs of health insurance, many Americans still pay out of pocket for nutritional supplements, and other forms of preventative medicine, with after-tax dollars. Good news: HSAs give people the opportunity to use pre-tax dollars to pay for the care and the products that they want. HSAs can cover massage, vitamins, back supports, pillows, hot packs, and many other forms of wellness care. Additionally, the funds in an HSA grow, taxfree, and, after the age of 65, can be enjoyed as a retirement account. HSAs give consumers coverage for the healthy choices that insurance companies have denied.

Letters to the Editor Thanks and scare you next year
To the editor: Despite the inclement weather, the Martlund Cemetery haunted tour was a great success. Hundreds of people came for the event. The pet food drive, which was being held that night, went extremely well also. The Friends of Berlin Animal Control (FOBAC), would like to extend their appreciation to everyone that donated to the cause. The donations will go toward the Berlin Pet Food Pantry as well as the Berlin Municipal Animal Shelter. In addition, we would like to thank all those that volunteered their time to help run the tour. Without your efforts there would be no tour. We would also like to thank everyone for coming out and experiencing this year’s haunted tour. We worked long and hard to give you the best experience possible. We hope to see you all at next year’s event. It will only get bigger and better. So enjoy the rest of the year and we look forward to scaring you again soon. Thanks again for your participation. Pet food donations will continue to be accepted at the Martlund cemetery location indefinitely. If anyone has video or photos of the event, please contact us at (860) 538-4926.

To the editor: The Willard Elementary School fifth grade held a pancake breakfast on Oct. 31. We had a successful event due in part to the support of several local businesses, Willard school families and the Berlin community. On behalf of the Willard School fifth grade committee, we would like to express our most sincere thanks to Stop & Shop, Roger’s Marketplace, McDonald’s and Kablik & Leary, P.C. for their generous donations. Huge thanks also goes out to Amy Audette at the Berlin High School for not only graciously agreeing to work our event at a last moment notice, but also giving us the moral support we needed to get through the morning successfully. The funds raised at this event will help to defray the cost for the fifth grade children who will be participating in Nature’s Classroom from Nov. 17-20. It was heartwarming to see a community gathering together to help one another toward this cause. Whether you were able to donate time, money, goods, or services, we are extremely grateful for your support. Laura Leary and Susan Lewis Fundraising Committee Willard School
Honor all Veterans
To the editor: This letter is in response to last weeks ‘letter to the editor’ entitled “Semper Fi”. I am writing this letter as both a ‘costconscious’ citizen of our town and a past Commander of the Berlin VFW. My opinion is not associated with the VFW.

Letters Continued from page 12 Rampone, stated there was a movement afoot to prevent the relocation of the Marine Corps Monument on Grove Hill to a new location at Paper Goods Park. I am aware of the efforts surrounding this matter and it should be clarified in order to preserve the honor of all veterans from all branches of the armed services. At a recent VFW meeting, a member of the Veterans Commission reported that the Commission intended to move the old Marine Corps Monument from Grove Hill to Paper Goods Park and to rename the park Marine Corps Memorial. VFW members discussed the matter and felt it would be a dishonor to name a town park for one of the branches of the armed services and not all the branches (unless the town had plans to also dedicate a park for each of the other services). Consequently, the VFW agreed to send a letter to the commission expressing their concern. This matter dealt entirely with the effort to rename the park but never objected to the movement of the Marine Corps Monument. Additionally, it was also later learned that another new Marine Corps Monument was purchased (at approximately $7,000) and would be placed along with the old relocated Grove Hill monument at Paper Goods Park and that a Marine Corps flag would be flown over the park. This act may not seem objectionable to most citizens as Marines deserve such an honor but so do all the other brave men and women who fought in the other branches and risked (and lost) their lives for our country. Furthermore, the town of Berlin has already graciously agreed to honor all veterans with the naming of our town center park “Veterans Park”. At the entrance of Veterans Park will be the proposed five-sided monument honoring the five branches of the service. Why do we need to dedicate a separate park singling out the Marines? The relocation of the old Grove Hill Marines monument is understandable but to make the Paper Goods site a park solely honoring Marines is not acceptable (unless the taxpayers of Berlin want to also allocate $7,000 each for the other four branches–although praiseworthy, our tax dollars can be better spent elsewhere in these tough economic times). To conclude, our town has numerous monuments dedicated to fallen comrades including the memorials mentioned by Mr. Rampone, however these memorials are dedicated to
individual people and not the branch of the service. As we celebrate a special day for Veterans this week, let’s remember to honor all veterans as everyone is equal and deserve the same respect. Robert B. Dornfried Sr. Former VFW Commander
Lavery Ride a success To the editor: I would like to extend my sincere thanks to all the committee members, family, friends, supporters, sponsors, volunteers, and the hundreds of participants for making the 5th Annual Peter J. Lavery Memorial Motorcycle Run a huge success. I especially would like to thank McGuires Sports Bar & Grill for hosting the event on their grounds, Stew Leonard’s for providing the food, Newington Police for coordinating the numerous police escorts from around the state, providing coffee and donuts, photography, ride route, parking lot details and volunteers, Donald Lavery for designing and marketing the t-shirt sales, Newington Volunteer Fire Departments for helping with the parking lot, Dunkin’ Donuts of Newington for donating coffee and donuts, Shark Entertainment for donating music, Sign Pro for donating the signs and banners advertising the ride, and Ct Police Supply, Mickey Finn’s Honda and Gengras HarleyDavidson for selling t-shirts. I am overwhelmed and appreciative of the continued generosity, support and hard work of so many people who contributed to the success of this year’s memorial motorcycle ride. The outpouring support of community, family, friends and police is a fitting tribute to Peter’s memory and helps to raise the necessary funds for the Peter J. Lavery Memorial Scholarship Fund to award scholarships to local students. Pamela Lavery
Listen to WERB To the editor: I am writing this editorial to inform the town of Berlin about the wonderful radio station we have right here in our town. It is run by the students at Berlin High School. I happened upon this station about a month ago and it has quickly become my favorite. I love all kinds of music but was tiring of the top 40 stations that seem to repeat a lot of the songs. I am also not always in the mood for rock & roll either. WERB plays “oldies like no one else”. The station is located at 94.5FM. They play a wonderful assortment of jazz, country, oldies from the 40s & 50s and they even play TV theme songs.
I love trying to guess which show it belonged to. The best thing about this station is that it is commercial free and the DJs do very little talking. I am sad though, during my morning commute to Bristol, that when I reach Plainville, I lose the signal.
I commend the kids at BHS for producing such a wonderful radio station. Keep up the fantastic job. Turn your radio now and check it out. You will not be disappointed. Betsy Scheer Kensington

switchboard that night. I was the only one alive around me in morning. All my buddies, everybody was killed. It was terrible. I got a letter of commendation for staying on duty that night under the worst conditions you can imagine.” Over 300 Americans were killed in the battle that lasted just over a week. “The largest airbase in the pacific was made on Tinian after we took it,” said DesRosiers. In fact, the B-29s that dropped atomic bombs in 1945 took off from Tinian. After another few months back in Maui, the Marines were called on one more time. “In December (1944), they put us aboard ship and three days out they told us we were going to Iwo Jima,” DesRosiers said. Iwo was roughly halfway between Tinian and Japan, and the Japanese used Iwo as a radio station, warning the mainland when U.S. bombers were coming. Before the invasion, Iwo was the heaviest bombed island in all of World War II. “Our planes bombed it for 30 days before we got there, and all our ships shelled it before we landed. We thought there was absolutely nothing left living on that island,” explained DesRosiers. The invasion was supposed to take three days. Yet, DesRosiers knew that on every invasion, “you never knew what you were going to get. You had no future.” The invasion began on Feb 19, 1945. DesRosiers landed on D-day in the fourth wave. “By the time we came in, the beach was so cluttered that we had no place to land. The Japanese had focused all their guns on that beach. Bullets were landing like rain. A lot of guys got killed even before they reached the shore. The first day we only gained 20 feet, thousands of Marines. They killed maybe 2,000 of us that day, because there was no place for us to go.” The Japanese had built extensive underground defenses in anticipation of the American attack. “The whole island was tunnels,” DesRosiers explained. “That’s where the Japanese lived. That’s where they kept their ammo. They would run out to the openings of the tunnels, fire and run back in. But every time they came out of their holes up there we would fire at them.” The Marines were able to gain a
Continued from page 3 Ship, Tank). The LST carried amphibious tractors that could be unloaded offshore, driven through the water and onto the beach. Again, the Marines didn’t know where they were going until they were three days out to sea. “They told us we were going to invade the island of Saipan in the Marianas Islands,” said DesRosiers. The island was important, because from Saipan, American B-29 bombers could reach Japan. “When we landed at Saipan, they were shooting at us continuously. We went in on our landing craft, and it was really gruesome. There were shells going off all around us.” The battle took three weeks. Over 3,000 Americans and over 20,000 Japanese were killed. “At the end of the battle, the few remaining Japanese launched ‘banzai’ attacks in desperation,” DesRosiers recalled. “They grabbed any weapon they could find, and they gave us a terrible going over that night.” Many Japanese civilians on the island committed suicide when it became clear that the Japanese would lose the battle. “We went to the end of the island where it was all cliffs,” he explained. “The Japanese were standing there with knives and they would cut their bowels out and then fall over the cliff. The ocean was red with blood and full of sharks. There were a lot of natives there with their babies. They went to the edge and they were jumping off this cliff holding their babies. It was something I’ll never never forget, seeing these people commit suicide for no reason at all. The Japanese soldiers told the natives we were going to kill them, and they believed them.” The next invasion for DesRosiers was the island of Tinian. Tinian was only a few miles from Saipan, but its flat terrain would allow the U.S. to build a superior airfield there. “We went in on the landing craft, and nobody was shooting at us,” DesRosiers recalled of the Tinian invasion. “We thought, ‘Boy, this is a piece of cake.’ We got all our guns set up, and we were all ready. That night, let me tell you, everything the Japs had, they sent to us. We lost half of our personnel. I was on the

BHS football: Division champs By Nick Carroll Sports Editor

Jess Lavoie, left, and the Berlin High School girls soccer team earned the No. 1 seed in the CIAC Class L state tournament.
State title quest begins By Nick Carroll Sports Editor The quest to bring a CIAC girls state soccer championship back to Berlin High School for the first time since 1998 began this week for the Lady Redcoats. Berlin, the No. 1 seed in Class L, earned a first-round bye and was slated to face No. 16 Fairfield Warde in Round 2, Wednesday at Scalise Field. The quarterfinals will be held Friday, Nov. 13. The Lady Redcoats entered the state tournament fray undefeated and riding a wave of confidence. But senior forward Blair Ferry indicated that the locals have no intention of coasting to the finish line. “We’re going in with a way different attitude. We want to go out with a bang,” Ferry said last week following her team’s regular season finale. “We’re planning on making it to the finals. We want to win it more than anything, especially this year. We’ve been talking about it since the summer. We want to win states, and we’re gonna.” The senior-heavy Berlin squad went 16-0 during the regular season and claimed the Central Connecticut Conference South Division title. Along the way, the Lady Redcoats put up 10 shutouts and scored five or more goals in eight games. This was Berlin’s first year in the CCC.
“Once we got through half the season, and got through Bristol Central, Bristol Eastern, Plainville, and the tough teams, we didn’t know what it was like to lose, and we just had this winning attitude,” Ferry said. “We would always find a way to win, and we saw that we could beat pretty much anyone.” In a testament to their dominance, the CCC South champs pumped in 69 goals this fall while allowing just seven. Not surprisingly, BHS coach Steve Yanosy, who collected his 100th career victory last month, was proud of his team’s play during the regular season. “Going 160 is special no matter what. The girls definitely know that it means something … The girls are focused on the postseason now,” the eighth-year head man said last week. The Lady Redcoats’ schedule in the now defunct Northwest Conference was arguably tougher than its slate in the CCC South, but Yanosy hopes the CCC has prepared his team well enough for the rigors of the state tournament. “We’ll see. I guess you don’t know. You’re sort of insulated with your conference, and not many conferences are allowing teams to go outside of the conference to play; which is unfortunate,” Yanosy said. “But we’ll see how it’s prepared us.” Visit casciac.org for state tournament information.
As soon as it was announced that Berlin High School would be joining the rough and tumble Central Connecticut Conference this year, the naysayers began to weigh in: “Let’s see what the football team does now, against real competition?” … “Big fish in a little pond” ... “Berlin was good in the Nutmeg League, but CCC football is a different story.” Well, the Redcoats have answered their critics. With a 38-14 victory over Platt Friday night at Scalise Field, Berlin claimed the CCC Division III championship outright. The locals, 7-1 overall, improved to 7-0 in their division. The Redcoats’ last outright league title came in 2002. “The kids are excited about it. It’s something no
one can take away from them,” BHS coach John Capodice said. “It’s something I believe they will cherish.” Capodice is thrilled as well, but is not surprised his troops were able to secure the Division III crown. “Going in, I firmly believed that with the student-athletes we had returning, that we had a good shot to do this,” he said. The sixth-year head man indicated that goal No. 1 has been accomplished. Now, Berlin is looking to earn a spot in the CIAC Class M playoffs, and advance to the state title game for the second time in three years. “I think we’re right exactly where we should be” at this point in the season, Capodice said. “I compliment the kids and coaches for all their hard work and dedication.”

Spikers survive Round 1 By Nick Carroll Sports Editor At press time, a team which had been forecasted to finish at or below .500 this season was still alive in the CIAC Class M state tournament. The gutsy 12th seed Berlin High School volleyball team shook off a Game 1 loss and defeated 21st seed New Fairfield, 3-1, Monday at Gibney Gymnasium in a first round state tournament matchup. Berlin coach Bob Tarigo praised his team’s effort that night, and for good reason. The locals served with 98 percent accuracy and got contributions from all over against New Fairfield. “It was probably the best we’ve played all year,” Tarigo said. See Volley, page 21

Swim coaches not pleased with CCC’s handling of postseason By Jim Bransfield Special to The Citizen
Last Saturday was supposed to be the day the Central Connecticut Conference held its divisional swim championship meets. The
CCC-South did, in fact, hold a meet. Middletown High won the meet with Maloney coming in a distant second. The CCCWest? The division to which Berlin was assigned? No meet. None at all.
’Coats Notes
Ricky Lewandowski, Berlin High School’s lone entrant in the CIAC State Open cross country championship, finished 55th with a career-best time of 17:10. The meet, which draws the top performers from the six state class meets, was held Friday at Wickham Park in Manchester. “I am very excited for Ricky. He worked extremely hard this season and finished his career on a very positive result,” BHS coach Steve Soucy said. “The field was very fast this year, with some finishers going under 16:00. Rick ran another strong technical race, pacing himself and taking advantage of the downhill sections of the course. “We had him at 60th going into about the last mile, and he was able to save enough to pick up five places.” Lewandowski finished 11th to lead Berlin at the Class MM meet. He registered a time of 17:53 in that event, which was held at Wickham Park as well. -- Nick Carroll

The Berlin High School Athletic Hall of Fame has unveiled its inaugural class. Entering the Hall of Fame will be, from the 1939-1960 era: Richard Patterson, Victor Baccaro, Phil Tinsley, Anthony Legnani, Henry Mora and Gary Waslewski. From the 1961-1980 era: Paul Barretta. And from the 19812000 era: Pam Wallace, Deb Larson, Robyn Trevethan, Adam Salina and Mora Edward Hrubiec. Also being inducted into the Hall are coaches Don Bates and Bill Gibney and contributors Art Kevorkian Sr. and Roy Fabian. This week, The Citizen takes a look at the athletic career of Henry Mora, who is being honored posthumously. Henry Mora graduated from Berlin High School in 1956. He was class president for four years and excelled in baseball and basketball. Mora was named captain of the basketball team his senior year, but it was on the baseball field where he truly stood out. A pitcher, Mora accumulated 20 strikeouts in one game his senior season. That year the team was the Class C Central Valley conference champion. During the ’56 state semifinals, Mora pitched his third consecutive no-hitter, and at one point struck out 10 straight batters. After graduation, Mora signed a minor league deal with the New York Yankees. Also, he was accepted to the University of Connecticut, but could not play baseball there due to his professional contract. Mora spent three years in the minor leagues until an elbow injury ended his pitching career. Mora went on to serve as a volunteer coach in town for 15 years. He continued to be involved in youth sports when he moved to Greenwich. Mora instilled a love of baseball in his sons. His son Mike played for the University of Vermont, and was recently inducted into the school’s athletic Hall of Fame. Henry Mora passed away in 2006. The Hall of Fame induction banquet will be held March 21 at the Crowne Plaza in Cromwell.

“There is only one school in the division that has a pool and that’s Newington,” said Berlin girls swim coach Amanda McCarthy. “All the other schools rent pools. And Newington apparently didn’t want to spend the money, so there was no meet. Apparently the CCC doesn’t have a postseason meet schedule. “It was very disappointing to me and to my girls. Our athletic director, Jim Day, told me he thought there was going to be a meet and during the season, I thought so too. But there was none.” Not only was there no divisional meet for the CCC West, there is no league-wide meet as there is for the Southern Connecticut Conference, the state’s other mega-conference. McCarthy recalled the organization of the now defunct Nutmeg Swim Conference to which Berlin and Middletown formerly belonged. “The Nutmeg League was so much better organized than the CCC,” said McCarthy, who was a standout swimmer at Berlin High. “The Nutmeg League meet was held every year at Wesleyan and was so well-organized. The kids looked forward to that meet; it was a time to get best times for all the kids. But not this year.”

Youth Sports Football C2 South Windsor 14, Berlin Bears 13 (League playoffs): South Windsor took the lead on a touchdown with three minutes to play. Berlin ended the year with a mark of 7-1. Turning in a hard-fought performance for the Bears were Berger, Baedor, Burns, Carson, D’Amore, Duke, Hamel, Kelly, Maslowski, Miano, Mignault, Nappi, Paszczuk, Steck, Tyler and Zuk.
Wrestling The Berlin Wrestling Club held its first tournament of the year recently, and it was a success, with some 120 wrestlers competing. Several Berlin Minutemen performed well at the event, including, in the Elementary Division: Isaac Myers (third place) and Ryan DeVivo (second place), in the Middle School Division: Richie Schlichting (second place), Anthony Meyers (third place) and Matt Cote (third place), and in the High School Division: Ricky Mullins. The Minutemen wish to thank all who helped make the tournament possible.
turned in solid performances for the victors. U14 Berlin United 4, Windsor Locks 1: Brian Kennure scored twice, and Kenneth Beardsley and Noah Bergren tallied one goal apiece as Berlin downed Windsor Locks. Kennure’s goal was assisted by Michael Moriarty. Ben Tencza, Nathan Ruscito, Kevin Roberts, Nick Vreeland, and Brandon Rocco also turned in solid offensive showings. Holding down Berlin’s defense were Matthew Heimlich, Kevin Kennure, Richard Schlichting, Steve Petrario and goalies Nathan Aroian and Brenton Cantliffe.
Cheer program continues to thrive By Kristin Brady Special to The Citizen The town of Berlin is recognized for the success of many different sports programs; one of them being the Midget Cheerleading program. Throughout the years, Berlin Midget Cheerleading has thrived. And this year was no different. The cheerleading season began back in early August. The girls and their coaches
Fall ball
practiced as much as five days a week, spending countless hours conditioning, choreographing, teaching, learning and perfecting the proper skills and techniques that were to be utilized in their two-minute and 30-second routine. A season is never an easy ride, as obstacles that must be overcome pop up, including injuries and routine changes. But the local cheerleaders persevere. On October 24, Berlin brought three of its competitive teams (A, B, C) and one exhibition team (Mighty Mites) to the league championships at Windsor High School. After many weeks of preparation, each team performed an amazing routine. As Cheer Coordinator of the Berlin Midget Cheerleading program, I am proud to say that the day resulted in each of our competitive teams taking home first
place, proving once again the success of the program. Berlin swept the day, declaring league champions at each competitive level in its program. Our exhibition team did an amazing job as well, accomplishing some of the most difficult skills for their level by exceeding expectations at competition time. Each competitive team received a first place trophy along with individual medals. Our exhibition team also received individual medals. Please join me in congratulating each of these amazing athletes in their victories. I would like to thank the parents and the board for their endless support, the coaches for volunteering their time, and the cheerleaders for the most successful season we have had thus far.
Field hockey For the 17th consecutive year, Mooreland Hill School’s field hockey team traveled to Deerfield, Massachusetts recently to play in The Bement School’s 30th annual jamboree.

Competing for Mooreland were Zoe Lavoie, Hannah Wade, Katie Shebat, Erin Conry, Madison Hunter, Samantha Plourde, Annie Kamradt, Alexandria Martin, Kristin Abato, Alizae Wineglass, Molly Truitt and Sarah LeDuc.

Friday night when Berlin takes on Fermi (3-5) at Scalise Field. Dave Campagna accounted for the Redcoats’ other TD against Platt. Devin Silverman knocked in a 23-yard field goal for the victors, and three extra points. Mason Powers caught a two-point conversion pass from Dan Hackett. Berlin’s Taylor Tavarozzi churned out 81 yards on the ground. Capodice praised the work of his offensive line against Platt. “Those are guys that don’t get their names in the paper every week, but those are the guys who put points on the board,” he said. “Those guys are doing a terrific job.” The Redcoats’ defense didn’t have a great effort against Platt, but still managed to hold the visitors to a paltry 215 yards. Berlin’s Sean Roche made a key interception in the third quarter.

Siena College soccer player Cara Riley, a junior midfielder, was named second team All-Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference this season. Riley, a Berlin High School alumnus, started all 17 games this fall, and manufactured seven assists and one goal. Siena rolled up a record of 12-5. Holy Cross football player Rob Dornfried, a Berlin resident, was named the Patriot League’s Special Teams Player of the Week recently, after accounting for 11 of his team’s 41 points in a victory over Fordham. Dornfried, a junior, went 2-for-2 on field goal attempts, hitting from 31 and 20 yards, and also connected on all five of his extra point tries. Holy Cross improved to 7-1 with the win and jumped to the No. 13 spot in the nation in the Sports Network poll for the football championship subdivision.

Swim Continued from page 18 McCarthy also said she didn’t understand why Berlin was placed in the CCC West in girls swimming by the powers that be in the CCC. “We are in the CCC South in every other sport,” she said. “Before the season, that’s where I thought we would be.” While Middletown’s division, the CCC South, did indeed have a meet, the winning coach, Trevor Charles of Middletown, wasn’t hap-
py with how it was run. “I’m not at all happy with how the meet [held at Maloney High] was run,” he said. “When the meet was over, no scores were announced; they just packed up and went home.” The Nutmeg League meets, both boys and girls, not only announced team scores frequently throughout the course of the meet, at the end of the day trophies were presented and the Outstanding Swimmer was announced. Meet results from the CCC South were not available on the CCC website Sunday evening, more than 24 hours after the meet. Results were not forwarded to the media.
Continued from page 17 With the win, the Lady Redcoats (15-6) earned a second-round date with No. 5 seed Woodland on Tuesday. “I’m very happy with how far we’ve gotten,” Tarigo said. “But I want to keep trying to get a little bit more.” Against New Fairfield, Berlin fell behind early in the opening game and a rally came up a bit short, as the visitors prevailed 25-21. They dropped the game, but Tarigo indicated that the late-charge

cause the radio jeep couldn’t come in. Any vehicle with wheels would get stuck in the volcanic sand. Eventually, they started bringing in steel tracks for the vehicles to run on. On about the fourth day, they brought in the radio jeep. The radio operator, Libby, was my friend, so I went to see him. We were standing there talking to each other

when this big piece of mortar came in and cut his head off. Libby was thrown down the path with his head one way and his body the other. Libby got killed right in front of me,” he said as he fought to control his tears. “I’ve never never forgotten that.” He composed himself and continued, “This is what went on all the time. They never stopped firing at us.” A moment of hope occurred when the flag went up on Mt. Suribachi. “Our regiment was at the furthest end of beach, the furthest point away from Mt. Suribachi,”

gust, when Truman gave word to drop that bomb, we didn’t know what was going to happen. Then they dropped the second bomb and the Japanese surrendered. You never saw a happier bunch of guys, because if they hadn’t surrendered, we were going to invade Japan.

explained DesRosiers. “Somebody said look there’s a flag up, and we were a happy bunch of guys. They had been firing on us from front and back, and when Mt.
