Batch of biscotti givesbirth to local business

By Brandi SabatoSpecial to The Citizen

As the holiday season ap-proaches, Rachel Tedeschi,owner of Rachel’s Cookies &Treats, is gearing up forwhat she anticipates will bean extremely busy fewweeks.

Tedeschi launched thecompany in July, after toyingwith the idea for severalyears.

“Starting a cookie compa-ny has been something Ihave been considering forsome time now, but felt thetiming wasn’t right untilnow. I have three childrenand when they were youngerI felt they needed my undi-vided attention. They defi-nitely still need my atten-tion, but with all three ofthem in school, I feel that Ican concentrate on both abusiness and my familynow,” explained Tedeschi.

While there is certainly ahistory of baking inTedeschi’s family startingwith her great-grandfather,it was a batch of biscotti thatspurred the beginning ofRachel’s Cookies & Treats.

“I made my brother abunch of cranberry pista-chio biscotti for his birthday.It was a new recipe that hehadn’t tried before. A fewdays later he sent me an e-mail saying that they wereunbelievable,S the best bis-cotti he had ever tried. Hecontinued to say if I did

nothing but sell those biscot-ti I would be a huge success.With comments like that, it’shard to find a reason not togive it a try,” said Tedeschi.

Rachel’s Cookies & Treatsis a “baked fresh to order”bakery which prides itselfon its high-quality ingredi-ents.

“All of my cookies andtreats are all-natural with nopreservatives, additives, ar-tificial colors or flavors. Be-ing a mom and a wife, I al-ways strive to feed my family‘all-natural.’ I see my busi-ness as an extension of myfamily. I would not offer any-thing to the general publicthat I would not feed my ownfamily,” Tedeschi said.

Tedeschi cites her family’sinvolvement in the businessas a driving force behind itssuccess.

“My family is great. Mydaughter helps me with thepackaging of the cookies.My husband is wonderfuland will help with whateverneeds to be done. And myboys, well, they are my tastetesters!”

Similarly, Tedeschi isgrateful to Kelly and KevinGravel, the owners of Grab AChef in Southington, fortheir unwavering support.

“I have known the Gravelsfor a while as our kids go tothe same school together. Ihad been thinking about ap-proaching them to see if theymight be interested in allow-ing me to ‘rent’ oven time

from them. I happened to bein the plaza where they arelocated one day so I figured,why not ask. Both Kelly andKevin were 100 percent forthe idea from the get-go,” ex-plained Tedeschi.

Rachel’s Cookies & Treatscurrently operates out ofGrab A Chef, but Tedeschihopes for her business tohave its own home someday.

“The Gravels have givenme a wonderful opportunityto get my business up andrunning, and for that I amgrateful. Nonetheless, thereis no place like home and Iwould love for Rachel’s Cook-ies & Treats to have a homeof its own someday in the fu-ture.”

Rachel’s Cookies & Treatsoffers a variety of classiccookies, biscotti and Italian-style cookies, candied nuts,brittle, granola and more.

Sisters tap to victory in U.S., next stop: GermanyBy Jacquelyn

Ford-CoopermanSpecial to The Citizen

Logan and Sydney Westwill have the opportunity tocompete in Germany at theWorld Tap Dance Champi-onship Nov. 28 to Dec. 6.

The West sisters are two ofthree Connecticut dancersjoining dancers from Massa-chusetts and Wyoming to rep-resent the United States inthe competition.

Logan, 15, and Sydney, 12,will travel to Germany seek-ing to experience new stylesof dance and broaden their

views of dance. The World Tap Dance

Championship brings with itmixed feelings. The sisterssaid they feel nervous butmostly excited leading up toGermany. The West sistershad to audition and havehigh enough scores in orderto qualify.

The work doesn’t endthere.

“The trip is costly so we’vebeen doing a lot of fundrais-ing,” said Patricia West, Lo-gan and Sydney’s motherand owner of their dance stu-dio, Elite Dance.

They held a pasta dinnerin Watertown on Nov. 13 andon Nov. 15 Cash for Gold inCromwell gave 10 percent to-ward the girls’ trip. Theyhad businesses donate giftsto give as prizes for theseevents.

The West sisters are nostrangers to competitions.

Sydney, who specializes intap and hip-hop, has beendancing for 10 years. Loganhas been dancing for 12 yearsand dances in a variety of

styles including ballet, tap,jazz, lyrical, modern and tap.

“I used to stand up anddance during commercialswhen I was a kid, so my momsigned me up for dance,” Lo-gan said.

The rest is history. They have been competing

for about seven years. Mostrecently, the West sisterswent to nationals this yearand are national champions.

At nationals, Sydney per-formed “Shoes,” whichearned her the highest scorein the entire competition.

Logan performed a tapduo to “Breathe” and wasawarded the Global Enter-tainers Award.

They also had the chanceto dance at the Apollo The-atre in New York City in Sep-tember where Logan andSydney performed theiraward winning routines.

“It’s not stressful at all,”Logan said. “It would be ifwe didn’t love what we do.”

Their love for dance clear-ly shows with an averageschedule of school until 4:15

p.m. and dance from 5 to 8:30p.m.

They say, “Dance is life,”with a laugh.

But from time to time, Lo-gan enjoys competing in pag-eants.

Logan was Young MissSouthington 2007 and Sydneywas Young Miss Southington2008.

Nevertheless, dance istheir passion.

Logan wants to continuedancing after she graduatesfrom the Greater HartfordAcademy of the Arts.

“In 10 years I want to havegraduated from Julliard andbe dancing with the Alvin Ai-ley Dance Company,” shesaid.

Sydney would like to ven-ture from dance.

“I would like to be a cardi-ologist in a hospital,” Sydney

TRUST program builds futures for childrenBy Jacquelyn

Ford-CoopermanSpecial to The Citizen

For 10 years the First Con-gregational Church ofSouthington has hostedTRUST, a program started bythe Wheeler Clinic to targetchildren ages 7 to 13 thatcome from families with amember suffering from anaddiction. The program fo-cuses on helping childrenthrough this time of crisis intheir life.

TRUST, a free program,stands for Teaching, Reach-ing, Understanding and Sup-porting Together.

TRUST teaches healthylife choices through a varietyof prevention activities in-cluding visual and dramaticarts, games and activitiesthat help foster self-discov-ery, teamwork and new socialskills.

“A child is first recom-mended to be in program,usually by a guidance coun-cilor, youth services, parents,schools or community serv-

ices, and the parent orguardian calls to registertheir child,” said Sue Wal-bert, who is in charge ofSouthington’s TRUST pro-gram.

After registering for theprogram, children then meetahead of time with their par-ents and the adults who runthe program.

“A lot of preparation istaken before the child joinsthe group,” said Walbert.“Sometimes some of the kidsin the group will write ‘newkid’ letters to the child tomake them feel more wel-

comed.”The group meets weekly

from September to June andusually consists of two pro-fessionals who lead the meet-ings of four to six children.During the meetings, themain message the profes-sionals try to get across ishope. They try to teach thechildren that the addictionthat their parents have is anillness and is not their fault.But most importantly, eachchild is not alone becausethere are other children thatare with them during themeetings that are going

through the same thing. Inaddition, professionals try todevelop the child’s socialskills, their problem-solvingskills, communication skillsand refusal skills.

Each professional tries toinstill these messages by do-ing activities with the kids. Ausual meeting is split intothree basic parts. The firstpart of the meeting is for dis-cussions such as the highs

and lows of the week. Thesecond part is to discuss thethree Cs, which are: that theydidn’t Cause the addiction,they Can’t stop their parentsand there is no Cure for thedisease. The last part is craftand game time. Here the chil-dren do holiday-themed ac-tivities. Nevertheless, the ac-tivities are always centered

What doyou get whenyou put tick-ets to “TheLion King,”Boston RedSox and NewEngland Pa-triots in aroom with ayear’s worth of wine, a back-yard smoker and a Hearts ofFire diamond necklace?

$60,000 — give or take — tohelp kids go to camp and en-joy other activities at theS o u t h i n g t o n - C h e s h i r eYMCA.

“In this economy, we werethrilled at the outpouring ofsupport and the generosity offolks,” said YMCA ExecutiveDirector John Myers. “Justphenomenal. Best of all, allfunds get funneled right backinto the community to helpout local kids and families.We also really like the feel ofthe event as the Southingtonfall event to be at. A nice

hometown reunion beforethe holidays hit.”

The YMCA’s annualfundraiser, Forever in BlueJeans, was certainly theplace to be this year. Hun-dreds of people attended.

In the night’s revelry,many attendees got carriedaway bidding. However,these well-meaning bids arethe opposite of greedy. Infact, I think some peoplemight have paid a bit morethan sticker price, just be-cause the proceeds went tosuch a good cause.

It’s something to be thank-ful for to live in a town thathas a combination of re-sources and generosity thatwon’t let our neighbors failor children sit idle.

Let’s remember these goodfortunes, whether we haveenough to help or enoughhelp to get by, as we celebratethis holiday season.

The board of finance willcontinue to face many chal-lenges this term as our citi-zens face the uncertainty inour economy, while Con-necticut attempts to managea mounting deficit and ourtown experiences the falloutfrom both. In Southingtonwe have a $118 million budg-et, with $90 million comingfrom Southington taxes and$24 million from state andfederal grants. We must bemindful that our govern-ments, federal, state and lo-cal, are not “made of mon-ey” and increases in taxesmust be a last resort espe-cially during these difficulttimes. However, I remainconfident that with creativethinking, collaboration andsome sacrifices, we canweather the economic stormand emerge a more efficientand effective Southington.

As the highest vote getterin the entire Southingtonmunicipal election, I feel thevoters sent their messageand a mandate for change

through me. I feel that I nowhave an additional responsi-bility of maintaining a rela-tionship between the partyand the citizens. This is a re-sponsibility I will not takelightly. I want to personallyensure the citizens ofSouthington that I have metwith the leaders of the Re-publican Town Committee(known as RTC or “Team Re-publican”) and they are over-joyed with the team’s winand fully committed to deliv-ering on their campaignpromise of “LeadershipSouthington Can Trust.”

Remember, we are a gov-ernment of the people, bythe people and for the people.We must ensure the citizensremain the focus of govern-ment. In the months to comeyou will see “Team Republi-can” promoting its vision,while collaborating with cit-izens to ensure the correctstrategy is being executed. Ilook forward to yourthoughts. I encourage you tonot only contact your electedofficials, but also offer yourcomments during the publicforums at our town meet-ings. I can be reached [email protected] orat (860) 621-5960.

Kudos to the trailTo the editor:I am writing in response

to the recent article in TheSouthington Citizen con-cerning the proposal tobring various forms of pub-lic transit to Southington,along with the extension ofthe linear park trail in town.

As I read this article, agreat pleasure stirred in myheart, for I was glad to knowthat not one, but two dreamsof mine could possibly bebrought to reality; the firstbeing the ability to travel toother towns and cities on myown, and the second beingthe ability to ride my bicycleas far as Milldale with barelyany automobile traffic alongthe way. I believe that I amnot the only resident of thistown who is enthusiasitcabout this idea, for I can re-call the many people who Ihave seen use the trail, andknow handfuls of peoplewho are either unable todrive due to a disability orthe lack of an automobile.

I think that these two proj-ects would do some greatthings for the Town ofSouthington and its people. Iwould like to wish all of thepeople involved in these en-deavors the best of luckalong with the knowledge ofmy support.

This month’s featured as-set is equality and social jus-tice.

Students who put a highvalue on promoting equality,reducing hunger and mini-mizing poverty are betterequipped to succeed.

According to the SearchInstitute’s statistics, 52 per-cent of students surveyedacross the United Stateshave this developmental as-set.

The survey asked three

questions to determine ifstudents have this asset:

Do you feel that it is im-portant to help make theworld a better place to live byreducing hunger and pover-ty?

Do you give time or moneyto make life better for otherpeople?

Do you feel that it is im-portant to speak up forequality and believe thateveryone should have thesame rights and opportuni-ties?

With the holiday seasonupon us, it is important to

reach out as a community toindividuals and families thatneed our help the most.

A few ways to help includeparticipate in a food drive;bring clean, outgrownclothes to Southington Com-munity Services; or giveyour extra change to the Sal-vation Army bell ringers atlocal stores.

Money raised here, stayshere.

Here are some tips tobuilding the equality and so-cial justice asset in the livesof children and students youknow.

Teach the importance ofdonating to charities or non-profits.

Whether the support isthrough financial contribu-tions or by volunteeringtheir own personal time,helping others will teachyoung people a sense ofgoodwill, generosity, com-passion and humanity.

Talk about people whoworked for social justice,past or present, with youngpeople.

Discuss their impact onthe community or the worldto show how one person can

make a huge difference forothers.

Explore ways young peo-ple can contribute to socialjustice.

Make a list of places theycan donate their time andtalent. Help young people setgoals to be involved.

Thewinner of the 2009 Harley Davidson Street Glide FLHXmotorcycle was Dan Albright from Plantsville, left, pic-tured with Will Donovan, of the Plainville Fire Compa-ny. There were 90 riders in attendance.

In tough times, people fall back on their support systems. It is inherent that people rely on their familieswhom they know and trust. So why not give Colony Ford a chance to become a close relative? Colony Ford is afamily owned and operated business. It is also centrally positioned, and conveniently located right next to I-91,Rt. 15, and 691!

Colony Ford is stocked with a product you can count on. “Ford has secured its position as the only Detroitautomaker with world-class reliability... Ford’s sustained production of vehicles that are as dependable-orbetter than-some of the industry’s best dispels the notion that only Japanese manufacturers make reliablecars.” You get the best of both worlds. A company that cares blended with dependable vehicles.

Henry Ford was a true American with a vision and a dream. He left behind a legacy for us to continue with.Let’s do what Americans are known for, and stand united. Let’s buy American, and be American. Come down tojoin our family, and keep the American legacy driving forward!

on addiction and developingthe child’s skills. For exam-ple, one Halloween activitywas to link fears and how tocope with those fears.

Children in the TRUSTprogram also are involved inthe community. Every year,the children do a serviceproject in order to build trustand unity in the community.The service project changesannually. One year, theymade blankets for childrenand women in the homelessshelter in town. Some chil-dren also wrote a letter to therecipient.

At the end of the year, inJune, the program has agraduation for any child whois leaving the group becauseof their age or because theyare moving out of town.Here, the graduates receiveawards for their participa-tion. However, the best partof the celebration is thatthey go someplace to cele-brate; last year it was LakeCompounce. The catch isthat all the children from allseven TRUST programs, lo-cated in Bristol, East Hart-ford, Hartford, New Britain,Plainville, Plymouth andSouthington, go to the end-of-the-year party. As a result,they meet more childrentheir own age who sharetheir situation. And this canlead to friendships that lastyears.

The TRUST program isproud of its confidentialitypolicies and practices, anddoes not release any informa-tion about the identity of thefamilies or children for theirsafety and comfort.

Southington’s programmeets at the First Congrega-tional Church, 37 Main St.,every Wednesday from 4 to 5p.m.

Anyone interested in reg-istering a child can call SueWalbert at (860) 793-2164 or bye-mail at [email protected].

Children ages 7 to 12 con-cerned with someone else’ssubstance abuse are invitedto participate in WheelerClinic’s TRUST program.

Southington 3, Fairfield Ludlowe 225-19, 17-25, 25-20, 23-25, 15-6

Quest for Grail ends with KnightsBy Michael Guerrera

The Southington Citizen

When this past August rolledaround and the summer days dwin-dled to an end, there was a specialevent in the future that was unpre-dictable but foreseeable. And as Sep-tember approached and fall began totake shape, it was time to preview

what would be an exciting fall in Blue Knight ath-letics. Amongst the many fall previews was one inparticular that at the end simply said, “team tobeat.” That team was the girls volleyball team,that head coach was Rich Heitz, and at the end ofthe fall, they carried the torch through the year asthe “team to beat” and stamped their mark on his-tory, becoming the “class” of Class LL and win-ning the first ever volleyball title for SouthingtonHigh School.

“It’s an unbelievable feeling,” senior captainLexie Broytman said of their state title.

It wasn’t easy, but Broytman and the bunch de-feated a game Fairfield Ludlowe team this pastSaturday in five games to win the Class LL cham-pionship at Berlin High School. And much like theseason, it wasn’t one person that stood out, but acollection of talented athletes that led Southing-ton to victory.

Natasha Carlbert, a junior standout who fin-ished the year second on the team with 188 kills,had five of her 10 kills in the deciding fifth game,helping key a 10-1 run that Southington rode tovictory, after the score was tied at five. Carlbertopened up the game with two early kills and thenwith Broytman serving the final eight points,Carlbert had kills on point eight, 11 and the finalpoint of the match, 15.

“I think it’s just the adrenaline,” Carlbert saidof her overpowering game five performance. “Wehear screaming, hear everyone cheering for us.We take the energy that the crowd gives us and weuse it and achieve.”

Carlbert finished the four-game state tourna-

ment with 45 kills; the only person with more killsthroughout the tournament was Katie Byrnes, at50, who started off the championship game strongfor Southington and finished with 18 kills. It wasByrnes’ late kills in both games one and three thathelped Southington pull out wins, but it was alsoByrnes who served into the net trailing 24-23 ingame four, giving the win to Ludlowe. The solid,stone-faced Byrnes, bounced right back, though,with a kill for the second point of game five to getSouthington rolling.

However, it was Lauren Bauchiero, who playedconsistent volleyball throughout the tournament,named MVP, further signifying how this “team”won the title.

“This is a team,” Heitz said. “Every night it’snot the same person.”

Bauchiero, through her tear-filled face of joy,said of her MVP trophy, “I was very surprised, Ididn’t even see it coming at all. It’s an incredible

The Road to the TitleThe Lady Knights girls volleyball year began and ended

the same way – with a win – here’s a look at how they gotthere.

Sept. 15: Win 3-1 in season opener against Bunnell,losing game two of that matchup.

Oct. 19: Including the final two games in the Bunnellwin, they go 11 games without dropping a game beforedropping game three in a 3-1 win over Conard, an indi-vidual games won streak of 37.

Oct. 23: Lose what would be their only match of theyear, 3-2, on the road against Farmington.

Oct. 28: End Coventry’s 84-match win streak, winning3-1 on their home court.

Oct. 30: Win season finale, 3-0, over New Britain.Nov. 7: Lose 3-1 to RHAM in CCC Tournament final.Nov. 12: Beat Cheshire 3-1 in their first game of the

Class LL tournament.Nov. 14: Beat Newtown 3-1 after dropping the open-

ing game, advancing to the semifinals.Nov. 19: Defeat Norwich Free Academy in five

games, advancing to Class LL state title game for onlythe second time, the first since 1995.

Nov. 21: Beat Fairfield Ludlowe in five games for firstever volleyball state title at Southington High School.

feeling, I’m like shakingright now.

“We came here to win thisand that’s what we did,” shefinished.

After the tough loss ingame four, Southington wentout for game five with a res-olute mindset.

“We just said we can’t giveup. We have to be a team. Wecan’t let anything up,” Carl-bert said. “We have to go forevery tip, go for every hit, gofor everything.”

There was that word“team” coming up again inthe words of Carlbert.

MVP Bauchiero finishedwith eight kills and 10 digs inthe final match, while RachelVolpe had 29 assists, 16 digs,and four aces. Other greatperformances came by wayof Colleen Hallaway with,eight digs, and ElsieBernaiche, 18, who withouther help in the previousmatch, might not have madeit to last Saturday.

In Southington’s semifinalmatchup, it faced defendingClass LL champ NorwichFree Academy, and jumpedout two games to none early.But NFA battled back, forc-ing a fifth game. That iswhen Bernaiche changed themomentum on multiple

plays, with a trio of lungingdives that saved the ball, con-tinued the volley and eventu-ally led to Southingtonpoints.

“There’s the ball, let mejust swing at it and see if Ican get at it,” Bernaiche saidof her game-saving plays.Bernaiche, a junior playingher first-year at the liberoposition, said she loves thespot now and again creditedadrenaline and her drive forwanting to play in the statefinal as the reasons she wasable to make the plays.

“I think Elsie made somekey plays late in the match toreally give us some momen-tum,” Heitz said ofBernaiche’s game five high-lights.

It was against NFA wherethe Knights faced their firsthurdle, playing only theirsecond five-game match ofthe year, the other one com-ing in their only loss of theyear, to Farmington. Heitzreadied his team.

“I said, ‘Alright ladies,we’re going to do this now.But right now, everybodyneeds to pick it up for yourteammates out there,’” andthey did, getting the win.

After the title win, Heitzpostgame was like theGrinch after his heart grewthree times the normal size.With a grin ear-to-ear, hestruggled putting his feel-ings about winning intowords.

“It’s a little surreal rightnow,” he said.

Carlbert called the feeling“amazing,” Broytman said itwas “out of control” and“crazy,” and Bauchieroechoed the sentiments,“great, amazing, no words toexplain.”

“We worked so hard andI’m really proud,” Broytman,the team’s captain, said.

Yet, humility once againshowed face, as Broytmanpoignantly put it, “I love myteam, I love this sport, andI’m really proud to be a partof this team right now.”

So on this Novembernight, it was a special groupof Southington girls that gottogether, putting pride aside,and answering the call ofteam. No one was more vital,more important than thenext, and everyone treatedtheir teammates and thegame in the same, respectfulmanner.

And by the end of thenight, when the medals hadbeen draped over the necksof the champions and armswere still tightly claspedaround the backs of theirteammates and friends, itwas obvious that as a groupof many, they were as one,and the joy felt as a teamwould always be infinitelybetter than the joy as one.This team proved it on thatnight and this team will cer-tainly never forget it.

By Michael Guerrera The Southington Citizen

The champi-onship won bythe girls vol-leyball teamthis past Satur-day may have

really been accomplishedmuch earlier. A victory thatwas especially sweet for theeight graduating seniorswas laid out in front of theteam before the first ball wasserved prior to the first prac-tice and first meeting.

“I started this season(and) I took my six returningseniors out to dinner,” headcoach Rich Heitz said. “Andthere’s an interesting dy-namic because they’re alldifferent cliques; the six ofthem have different friendsoutside of volleyball andthey come together in this

one sport that they love.”Heitz explained the idea of

winning a title as a teameven if off the court is a dif-ferent feeling than on thecourt.

“They knew it was goingto be a challenge, but I toldthem, you’re going to be outin the real world, and this iswhat it’s going to be like,”Heitz explained. Then, heproposed to them his masterplan.

“I kind of threw some-thing out to them,” he toldthem, “there are no do-overs.There’s no, ‘I wish I did thisbetter, I wish I did that bet-ter.’ So I asked them, ‘10weeks from now, are you go-ing to say, ‘I’m glad I did, or Iwish I did.’”

Heitz feels they got the an-swer right. “I think they canall say, ‘I’m glad I did.’”

This team, while getting

contributions from up anddown its lineup, was led by agroup that worked for fouryears to achieve the goal thatcame to fruition this pastSaturday; but when it start-ed, the mindset, while hope-ful, was certainly different.

“When you come in fresh-man year, you’re not think-ing, ‘hey, we’re going to go tostates,’ but it’s an amazingreward and I’m just so proudof our whole team,” LexieBroytman said of her volley-ball career.

Then, in talking withHeitz as he reflected on theexperience, he divulged har-monically what he felt goinginto that final game andwhat that win meant to himin terms of the group of girlsthat would hand in their jer-seys for the final time thisfall.

“When you’re sitting in

the stands as a coach, andyou’ve never been (in a titlegame), and you’re watchingthese games, you’re kind ofwondering what it’d be likeone year out, 10 years out, ifyou ever have the opportuni-ty to coach in a game likethis,” Heitz described.

Heitz put his feelings intowords perfectly in order toconvey his thoughts.

“When you’re in (a state fi-nal), you think about theplayers. When you’re not init, you think about the fu-ture, because you don’t knowwho the players are going tobe. So I started thinkingabout my seniors and feelreal good for them and whatthey’re going through andstart to get a little emotion-al.”

This senior group, alongwith the team, will hold aspecial place in the history

that becomes Southingtonvolleyball. This is the firstsenior group to win a titleand while many more maybe in the future, this one willalways hold that specialplace. Only once before didSouthington have a chancein the final game of the year,back in 1995, and they lost toAmity. This team convertedand will hang the first ban-ner with a volleyball logonext to it.

And while words aresometimes hard to come byin these times of unprece-dented happiness, Heitz con-structed his view to a ‘T’ onhow he felt about his team,but more importantly, hisseniors, who go out on top asthe first group to achievewhat had previously beenunachievable: a girls volley-ball state title.

Devon Thomas, a soccerplayer this fall, sandwiched a60-yard run and catch and a45-yard run on a triple re-verse around the halftime in-termission, but the BlueKnights were unable to con-vert either big play into atouchdown deep in NewBritain territory as the Gold-en Hurricanes, in their inau-gural year of Powder Pufffootball, beat Southington 14-6.

Southington, playing intheir 14th season of girlsPowder Puff football, starteda new rivalry this year, play-ing Cheshire the previous 13,going 6-6-1 in the process. Butafter less than clean gamesin recent years, Southingtonfound a new team this yearand the game returned to itsfun, yet competitive, form.

“This is exactly what we

were looking for,” Southing-ton head coach CharlesKemp said. “We wanted tohave a good, clean gamewhere people left at the endof it saying, ‘you know what,that was a lot of fun.’”

The game, a seniorfundraiser for both schools,was an overwhelming suc-cess and featured some fan-tastic athletes on both sides.Emily Polkowski, a star bas-ketball player for the GoldenHurricanes, started thingsout with an early touchdownrun for New Britain and ac-counted for numerous bigplays, and New Britain quar-terback Olivia Maisto scoreda fourth quarter touchdownto seemingly ice it.

However, Southingtoncontinued to fight and got a54-yard touchdown grab on aquick slant to Hyla Costellowho ran to pay dirt to make it

Programs arestill in effect

By Dave Mongillo Special to The Citizen

We are in that magic timeof year, planning for thegreat season ahead. Visionsof sugarplums do not dancein our heads. Rather, visionsof gliding over new powder,making smooth, perfectsweeping turns.

We wait, patiently, for thefirst snow flakes, the promiseof skiing to come.

A great ski season startswith getting ready for thewinter ahead. Now is thetime to plan.

Get your equipment inshape. Get your body intoshape and get your plansshaped up.

The better shape you’re in,the easier that first day on amountain will be. If, likemost of us, you’re not inpeak condition, now is thetime to get to work. Anythingyou do now will help thosetired muscles on day one.

Walk, jog, run or go to thegym. Climb stairs. If youwork on the third floor or

above, forget the elevatorand trot up those stairs.When you take a break, runback down.

Breathing is important.Unless you’re a distance run-ner, you are probably not us-ing more than 40 percent ofyour lung capacity. Expandthat chest and feel the air goin.

Many years ago, a coachcaught me holding mybreath on a 50 to 70 secondslalom course. He told me toexhale on every pole plant. Itworks, and more than 50years later, I still do.

Now that your body is insuch great shape, it’s time tocheck out your equipment.Get out your skis, poles andboots and clean off the dust.Try the boots on. Do they feela little firm? They should, ifyou haven’t worn them sincelast April. If not, it could betime for new ones.

I bet the ski edges arerusty. Now is the time for atune up. Any quality ski shopcan do the job for about 40bucks, if the old boards are

Snow Viewsin decent shape. If they arereally beat and have lost theirspring, it could be time fornew ones.

In my travels this fall, Ihave been in several skishops. There are some gooddeals out there. The averageskier, 10 to 15 days a season,can be on new boards foraround $400. Shop aroundnow and you’ll have a happyseason.

Now the really fun part ofgetting ready for snow, plan-ning the season.

Do we spend Christmas atCannon or Kwanzaa atKillington? How about a tripto Utah, Colorado or Nevada?Did you ever think of Le Mas-sif in March? It’s a big worldout there and from Decemberto April much of it is coveredwith snow.

If you can slip a day off orcall in sick (that darn flu),midweek is great at most re-sorts. On Tuesday or Thurs-day the snow is good and theslopes uncrowded. From hereto Mt. Snow, or Okemo, orStratton takes a little overtwo hours. If you get on theroad at 6 a.m. you can be onsnow by 9 a.m., even with astop at the “Golden Arches.”

For a week or even a week-end, some planning nowcould save both time andmoney. Do you stay in a slope-side condo or a motel intown? Ski in, ski out is verynice, but those old no namecabins down the road are a lotcheaper. Do you need a majorresort or will a lesser knownski hill do? Mega mountain isgood, but do you really ski all100 trails in a weekend oreven a week?

Expand your horizon anddo some research before youcommit to a vacation. Youdon’t have to spend big bucksto have a fantastic family va-cation.

14-6 with two minutes andchange to play. Southingtonhad one final chance, butcould not convert as time ex-pired.

“That was an excitinggame,” Kemp said. “We gotwhat we wanted at the end ofthe day as a program. We gota team to play, a team thatwants to have fun, a commu-nity that seems to enjoy itand we’re hoping that it justcontinues.”

Both defenses played well.Southington got picks fromDinah Landry, ChristaShorette and Ashley Sisk.

New Britain coach CarlosPina had a team about halfthe size of Southington, butwith some talented athletes,pulled off the victory. Pinaenjoyed the inaugural gameand said, “hopefully it is atradition that will continueway beyond my years.”

The idea of the game is funand, according to Kemp,when the clock hit zero, itseemed that goal had been ac-complished.

“It was a real treat playing,it really was.”

“Wethought wecould doit...and wejust took it.”

REQUEST FOR QUALIFICATIONSFOR

PROFESSIONAL ENGINEERING SERVICES FOR PREPARATION OF A FACILITIES EVALUATION FOR THE TOWN OF SOUTHINGTON WATERPOLLUTION CONTROL PLANT

GENERAL INFORMATIONThe Town of Southington, Connecticut, through its Town Engineer, is requesting submittal of a Statement of Qualifications from engineering firms for services for the preparation ofa Facilities Evaluation for the Town’s Water Pollution Control Plant (WPCP). It is the Town’s desire to hire an engineering firm with significant wastewater treatment facility evalua-tion, design, and construction project experience. The Selection Committee will review the Statement of Qualifications of each firm, and may elect to interview all or some of thefirms. The Town reserves the right to reject any and all submittals, if it is determined to be in the best interest of the Town.PROJECT BACKGROUND AND SCOPEThe existing WPCP was constructed in stages beginning in the late 1950’s and was last upgraded in 1982. The WPCP is classified as an advanced secondary treatment plant, pro-viding nitrification. The current treatment process consists of comminution, grit removal, influent pumping, primary settling, trickling filters, intermediate pumping, intermediate set-tling, nitrification reactors, nitrification settling and ultraviolet disinfection. Treated effluent is then discharged to the Quinnipiac River. Trickling filter and waste nitrification sludgesare co-settled in the primary settling tanks and then pumped to two-stage anaerobic digesters for stabilization. The digested sludge is then pumped to belt filter presses for dewa-tering. Existing gravity thickeners and septage receiving facility are not currently in use. Construction of denitrification facilities consisting of a biological anoxic filter and methanolstorage and feed facilities is currently ongoing.The existing plant has an average daily flow design capacity of 7.4 million gallons per day, with a peak flow capacity of 15.9 mgd. The annual average daily flow at the plant in 2007was approximately 4.6 million gallons per day (mgd) and in 2008 the average daily flow was 5.1 mgd. Since 1983, other than the ongoing Denitrification Facilities Project, the onlysignificant plant equipment items that have been upgraded are the influent comminutors that have been replaced with channel grinders, and the replacement of the sodium hypochlo-rite disinfection system with the current ultraviolet (UV) disinfection system. Given the age of the existing equipment and facilities, the Town is undertaking a Facilities Evaluation ofthe existing plant.The facilities evaluation will address three major areas:

1. Assessment of needs and development of recommendations for equipment and structure replacement or upgrades.2. Review of the State of Connecticut Plan of Conservation and Development (C&D) Plan and comparison to the current Master Sewerage Plan for future sewer system exten-

sions.3. Identification of the pending effluent limit for total phosphorus and development of a recommended approach to meeting the limit.

The Facilities Evaluation will develop recommendations for upgrades to the existing treatment facilities to maintain the current treatment capacity for the next 20 years.The results of the evaluation will be summarized in a report to the Town which will also be submitted to the Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection for review andapproval. The Town anticipates receiving funding assistance for this project from the DEP Clean Water Fund, and the evaluation will need to comply with the requirements of theClean Water Fund. The actual scope of services will be negotiated with the successful proposer.PROPOSER QUALIFICATIONSAt a minimum, the proponents should demonstrate the following capabilities in order to be considered for qualification:

• Experience in the evaluation, design, and construction of upgrades of municipal wastewater treatment facilities providing nitrification in New England.• Experience with trickling filter treatment process for municipal wastewater treatment.• Experience with the BAF treatment process for denitrification of municipal wastewater.• Demonstrate the ability to perform plant retrofits and upgrades while maintaining the present level of treatment.• Experience with anaerobic digestion and associated energy recovery using methane gas and combined heat and power systems.• Experience with the evaluation of needs and implementation of a SCADA system for wastewater treatment facilities.• Knowledge of the Southington wastewater treatment system.• Ability and resources to complete a facilities evaluation without subcontracting any key engineering disciplines (Architectural, Structural, Mechanical, Instrumentation, Elec-

trical, Geotechnical).• Provide a Principal and Project Manager who possess current registration as Professional Engineers in Connecticut.• Provide a Project Manager with a minimum of 20 years of experience with the evaluation, design, and construction of wastewater treatment facilities. The Project Manager

shall also have managed construction of a minimum of 3 wastewater treatment facility upgrade projects within the last 7 years, 2 of which shall be located in Connecticut.• Experienced with the DEP Clean Water Fund application and administration process, with the Project Manager having completed of a minimum of 3 projects involving DEP

funds in the last 5 years.• Provide a minimum of 5 client references for the proposed key project team members involving construction of wastewater upgrade projects that have been completed.
