Mooreland Hill School

Good eats

By Daniel JacksonThe Berlin Citizen

The Federal Train Administration expectsimproved train service in Berlin to economi-cally revitalize the downtown and alleviatesome the state’s future transportation needs.Except for increased noise in the area ofFour Rod Road, the FTA expects few adverseenvironmental impacts in Berlin, accordingto a report released last month.

“Increased human activity (such as pedes-trian circulation) associated with a rail sta-tion can create a positive economic climatewithin which businesses want to locate,”

PZC denies Metro Realty application to develop KGSBy Daniel JacksonThe Berlin Citizen

At a special meeting May29, the Planning and ZoningCommission denied MetroRealty the ability to renovatethe Kensington GrammarSchool by a 6 - 2 vote.

“There are no winnershere tonight,” said BruceMoore, chairman of PZC, af-ter the meeting. Residents ofthe neighborhood as well asmembers of St. Paul Churchspent weeks fighting the de-veloper’s application to buildsix additional structures onthe property.

The church presented a pe-tition of 1,300 signatures op-posing the development, andPZC listened to nine hours ofpublic hearing from the resi-dents who were, on the ma-jority, against the project.

But Moore said all the re-sistance could come to noth-ing as Connecticut has a lawon its books, statute 8-30,which allow developers seek-ing to build affordable hous-ing to appeal the decisions oflocal PZC boards directly inConnecticut court.

This law places the burdenon the commission to provewhy its decision to deny af-fordable housing was justi-fied. It’s very hard for thetown PZC to prove, saidMoore.

“For all intents and pur-poses,” said Moore, “all ourzoning regs mean zero.”

He worried about what thenext developer might decideto do with the KGS property.A new developer could force amuch denser developmentinto the spot because of theConnecticut statue, he said.

Metro Realty waived itsrights to appeal under the 8-30 statute.

Richard Pentore, lawyerfor Metro Realty, said, “It’sthe great unknown now.” Hedoes not know if his clienthas another plan for the KGSproperty.

Dennis Kern, lawyer forSt. Paul, said the church,town and developer can nowfocus on the real issue athand: is the KGS buildingsalvageable after years ofneglect? If it is, he hopes tosee the three parties work to-gether to save the building.

Among the people againstthe KGS development wasFred Peterson. He remem-bers when the building be-fore it was used as a highschool and he made manymemories in the buildingthroughout his life—includ-ing proposing to his wife onthe front steps.

But like people, the build-

ing has grown old and it soon

must go, he said.

“I would rather see it

come down and be gone and

have my memories than

have something else in its

place,” he said.


PZC Chairman Bruce Moore reads a letter explainingthe Connecticut statute 8-30. The statute allows devel-opers to appeal PZC hearings in state court when theirplans included erecting affordible housing.

DUI checkpoint scheduledThe Berlin Police Department has obtained a grant

from the Connecticut Department of Transportation’sHighway Safety Division to support increased DUI detec-tion and enforcement efforts. The grant helps to providefunding to staff additional DUI patrols as well as roadsidesobriety checkpoints. Roadside sobriety checkpoints havebeen shown to be the most effective method to detect andapprehend under the influence drivers. As part of thisprogram a DUI sobriety checkpoint is scheduled for Fri-day, June 8, on the Berlin Turnpike.

Family revitalizes garden centerBy Robin Veronesi

Special to The Citizen

June 3 through 9 is Nation-al Garden Week. And whilesome local gardeners havepulled tools from the shed,started to watch the weatherand shopped for roses andtomato plants, one Berlinfamily started its own gar-den supply store on theChamberlin Highway.

“I used to deliver here,”said Kristopher Ellisonabout the former Johnson’sGarden Center. “It’s alwaysbeen a staple, so it was sad to

see it sit empty.”Johnson’s Garden Center

at its 398 Chamberlin High-way location went throughseveral owners and namevariations over the years be-fore the Ellisons’ bought theplace, renamed it KensingtonGarden Center and openedfor business May 6

Because Ellison workedwith several Connecticutnurseries in the past, he hasconnections to area expertsthat allow him to offer flow-ers not found at big namechain stores. These includeorchids from Berlin resident

Connie Ballardo and Africanviolets from Debbie Val-liedies in Massachusetts.

“We’ll stock a steady sup-ply of tropical plants andplanters for pool areas,” hesaid. His immediate plans,include a holiday store car-rying seasonal plants andgarden/home accents anddécor. In the future, he’d liketo promote and sell garden-

ing tools made by local man-ufacturers, such as Florianfrom Southington, and sup-ply plants, trees and shrubsto local landscapers.

Ellison is the son of Mar-garet and Alan Ellison, mem-bers of a Berlin family wholived in the town since the1800s.

“Margaret and I raisedour family in town,” said

Alan Ellison, co-owner withhis wife. “Her parents, Boband Emily Graham, operatedthe Ferndale Dairy Store onChamberlain Highway formany years. Margaret’s un-cle, John Graham, had aflower shop on Alling Streetback in the 50s.”

Berlin graduate makes henna art a career pathBy Ankaksha Singh


Henna is a dye obtainedfrom a tropical plant whichwhen applied to the skin orhair stains it a reddishbrown. It has been used byhumans as a cosmetic to dyethe hair for centuries. It’salso the medium in whichHeather Nulton practicesart.

Each year, Nulton, a BerlinHigh School graduate, andher family organizes a threeday long event dedicated toHenna.The sixth annualHenna Gathering was held atHotel Providence in Provi-dence, R.I., last March. TheHenna Gathering draws notonly henna artists but bellydancers, Bollywood dancers,and other multi-cultural tal-

ented from all over the coun-try.

For Nulton, what initiallysparked the inspiration to or-ganize the Henna Gatheringwas the support from her fel-low henna artist was themost important thing.

“We mostly we all livequite far apart from each oth-er and thus primarily com-municate over the internet,”she said. “When one of myhenna friends moved fromOhio to Massachusetts, andthe opportunity to meet up inperson arose, we took full ad-vantage and started a meetup of our own. The first Hen-na Gathering was just thatfriend, four others, and I inmy living room. Each yearsince then it has grown a lit-tle bit.”

Nulton, who grew up in

Berlin and graduated fromBerlin High, said her time inBerlin was an influencingfactor in her decision to starta career related to henna.

“I was always an honorsstudent, taking the most ad-vanced classes, and my sen-ior year I just took classesthat I thought were fun,” saidNulton. “I stopped worryingabout what I should be doingto make myself impressive toothers as a student, and tookthings like humanities andpottery for my own enjoy-ment. Through them, Ilearned the joy of followingmy passion rather than justdoing what I was supposed todo.”

Nulton continued hennaon the side throughout col-lege receiving her PhD in lin-guistics. Eventually turnedhenna full-time as it allowedher to pursue her passions asan artist and observe othercultures every day.

Nulton does henna art atthe Berlin Fair and other lo-cal events including the

Meriden Daffodil Festival,Sailfest, Plainville BalloonFestival, Milford Village FairDays and the New MilfordOyster Festival. She is avail-able for weddings, parties,and educational events.

CL&P employee turns Ford Pinto into green car


Andrew Kasznay shows the inner workings of hiselectric car.

By Daniel JacksonThe Berlin Citizen

Andrew Kasznay, an elec-trical engineer for Connecti-cut Light and Power, drives aFord Pinto to work. The 1980Pinto is a rare car on the

roads these days because itsdesign made its gas tank sus-ceptible to exploding if rear-ended at high enough speeds.

But Kasznay does not wor-ry about a explosions be-cause he removed the gastank about three years ago

and converted his car to runon electricity.

Kasznay’s car was just oneof several electric cars show-cased in CL&P’s Electric CarCommunity Day June 1. TheFord Pinto sat alongsidemore modern electric vehi-cles like the Chevy Volt andNissan Leaf.

CL&P invited the public toan informational session

abut electric cars to educatepeople about the cars, “be-cause it really is somethingnew,” said Watson Collins,manager of Business Devel-

tell the public electric carscan work as a commuting car

and are one of the options inpurchasing a car today.

Collins said Connecticutwas one of the early launchmarkets for electric cars be-

cause the state fits the profileof an ideal place to use anelectric car. People in Con-necticut generally have high-er incomes and are con-

cerned about the environ-ment. Commutes to work areusually shorter, doable, forthe limited-rage of an elec-tric car, before it needsrecharging.

While modern electric carscan travel hundreds of mileson one charge, Kasznay’s“homebrew” car can only go40 miles.

“That’s all I need on a dayto day basis,” said Kasznay.

He commutes from Middle-town to CL&P in Berlin,where he works. There, heplugs into the charging sta-tions the company providedfor electric cars.

Three years ago, a friendtried to renovate the old Pin-to but found that the enginewasn’t worth fixing. Kasznaytook out the engine and thenotorious gas tank and re-placed it with batteries.

A look under the hood ofhis car shows 12, 12-volt bat-teries wired together andstrapped in with zip-ties.

His motor, peaking out un-der rows of batteries, issmaller than the average gas-powered behemoth: it’s

slightly larger than a largewatermelon.

Kasznay bought his batter-ies in Berlin, at RAE StorageBattery on Demming Road.The lead-acid batteries he in-stalled are inexpensive asbatteries go. He could havegone with lithium batteries,the kind commercial electriccars use, and made a morepowerful electric car.

Lithium batteries wouldhave lightened his car by athird and given him fivetimes the range and batterylife.

Kasznay built the car be-cause he is interested in “en-ergy efficient technologies”like solar and geothermalpower. He travels to work on50 cents a trip. His other car,a hybrid, costs him $4 in en-ergy to get to work.

“It was a neat, nifty chal-lenge,” he said. As an electri-cal engineer, he understoodthe electrical side of the car,but needed to learn about themechanical.

Kasznay can tell how to getthe most mileage per charge.Unlike gas run cars, he cansee the energy output fluctu-ate. The faster he travels, thefaster the batteries drain.And while the car can reachspeeds of 70 mph, the slowerhe goes, the longer the carruns.

Because the Pinto is an“experimental car,” Kasznayhas to monitor it constantly;checking the levels of waterin the lead-acid batteries,cleaning corrosion, and mak-ing sure his instrumentswork correctly.

Once, when his chargingmeter stopped working, heran out of juice mid-trip.

It wasn’t much of a prob-lem, he said, because electri-cal cars can plug into a nor-mal outlet.

All you have to do is “find afriend and ask nicely.”

states the Environmental Im-pact Report. “Such develop-ment and redevelopment canbe expected to be stimulatedin the vicinity of new or sig-nificantly upgraded stationlocations.”

Designers of the rail lineplan on installing anotherline of track through Berlinto create a double trackwhich will carry more trains.These trains will travel atspeeds of 100 miles per hourthrough town and stop at amodernized and renovatedBerlin train station.

Today, six to eight round-trip trains stop in Berlin aday, traveling 80 mph throughtown. By 2030, designers ex-pect the number trains pass-ing through Berlin to tripleor quadruple. Plans estimatethe line will be finished 2016.

“The train is already here.It’s just going to be more serv-ice,” Berlin’s Economic De-velopment Director Jim Ma-honey said, noting that thetown has been working onseveral large projects in thedowntown to prepare for theupgrade in service.

Mahoney said the townhas received several grantsto redevelop several brown-field sites in and around thedowntown. As part of theproject, the town has beentrying to relocate the policestation to Farmington Av-enue, mere blocks from thetrain station.

John Bernick, CTDOT’sproject manager for the railline, said the Berlin train sta-tion is an important stopalong the NHHS route. Thestation serves many peoplefrom the surrounding area.It is also one of the few sta-tions with a ticket operatormanning a booth.

He said a plan to add a sec-ond track to the line is noth-ing new—a second trackused to exist but was takenout.

The increased service willdrive people to the area andcould make a large, positiveimpact on the town, he said,attracting developers.

“You’re going to find peo-ple that are going to make adecision to live near that sta-tion,” Bernick said.

The town of Enfield hasapplied for grants to revital-ize the area in which its sta-tion might be built. Enfield is

one of four towns that mighthave a station built with thenew line coming in, but Ber-nick doesn’t know if he canfind the money to build addi-tional stations.

A vision for improved railservice in the nation beganwith President Obama in2009. In response to thedownturn in the economy, hewanted to improve the na-tion’s rail lines with stimu-lus funds. His goal was to dofor passenger rail whatEisenhower did for super-highways.

“We also have to build anew foundation for our fu-ture growth,” Obama said in2009. “Today, our aging sys-tem of highways and by-ways, air routes and raillines is hindering thatgrowth. Our highways areclogged with traffic, costingus $80 billion a year in lostproductivity and wasted fuel.Our airports are choked withincreased loads. We’re at themercy of fluctuating gasprices all too often; we pumptoo many greenhouse gassesinto the air.”

Other countries have in-stalled high speed rails withgreat success, he said. Coun-tries like France connected

small towns, jump-startedgrowth and “remade quiettowns into thriving touristdestinations.”

“Imagine whiskingthrough towns at speeds over100 miles an hour, walkingonly a few steps to public

transportation, and endingup just blocks from your des-tination,” he said.

The train runningthrough Berlin is a spur offthe busiest rail line in the na-

Assistant Headmaster andMiddle School Director forthe school.

“Our focus is on the thingsthat count in your child’s ed-ucation,” Dooman said.“Mooreland Hill School stu-dents engage in active learn-ing in a warm and supportiveatmosphere without preten-sions.”

Dooman talked to TheBerlin Citizen about what is

new at Mooreland Hill:What is new, facility-

wise? The Mooreland Hill School

campus was last renovated in1997 when three new class-room buildings were added tothe existing facilities. In ad-dition, the gymnasium wasupdated along with the in-stallation of two new lockerrooms. The school’s librarywas moved and upgraded atthe same time to includewireless Internet connectivi-ty. With the addition of lowergrades, Founder’s Hall will

become home to K to grade 5.What is new, curricu-

lum-wise? Kindergarten to Grade

Five Multi-Age Groupings.With the opportunity to

begin in theKindergarten/grade onemulti-age group, MoorelandHill students embark on a re-warding and enriching nine-year educational experience.

The lower grades promoteactive, joyful, and creativelearning in a nurturing andclose-knit community whereeach child is known and re-spected as a unique individ-ual. The program in the low-er grades is designed to in-

clude a thoughtful balanceappropriate to developmen-tal stages of different gradelevels and sensitive to theneeds of individual learners.

Each child’s day is alter-nately filled with vigorousactivity and quiet time; tra-ditional academic subjectsand the arts, foreign lan-guage, and physical educa-tion, whole group instruc-tion and activities and indi-vidual attention. This richeducational experience pre-pares our students for con-tinued success in MoorelandHill’s rigorous and broad ac-ademic program in the lattermiddle school years.

What is your biggestchallenge this schoolyear?

Sustainability is ourgreatest challenge. As an in-dependent school, we do notreceive federal or state fund-ing. We are tuition depend-ent to fund all aspects of ouracademic curricular and co-curricular programs. Sinceour founding, we have beenkeenly aware of the need tobe accessible for the familieswe serve in the central Con-necticut region and have cre-atively addressed this needthrough financial aid, meritscholarships, and sibling dis-counts.

Fire department needs volunteersThe South Kensington Volunteer Fire Department is

seeking new members to help serve the community. Vol-unteers must be a minimum of 18 years old, hold a validdriver’s license, and be willing to attend State of CTmandated firefighter training.

All state certified training, personal protective equip-ment and uniforms are provided.

There is also have a need for volunteers to help withpaper work including fire call, training documenta-tion and more

Taking the bus in BerlinBy Daniel JacksonThe Berlin Citizen

“What are you doing?” shesaid. The woman pulled intoher driveway when she sawme standing there. “I’m justwondering because I livehere.”

I admit: I looked strange. Iwas standing on the side ofChamberlain Highway, insomeone’s front yard, wait-ing. Passing motorists werestaring.

“Oh no, that’s fine, I’mwaiting for the bus,” I said.

May 14 through 18 wasConnecticut Rides week. Thestate encouraged people tofind alternate means oftransportation to their work.In honor of the week, I decid-ed to attempt Connecticut’smass transportation systembecause I work some days ofthe week at the Record Jour-nal office in Meriden.

Growing up in Berlin, Inever tried to ride the Con-necticut bus system until

now. Google says the bustravels along this road and itcan take me to the Westfeildmall where I will get anothertransfer that will take me tothe Record Journal. But I’mdoubtful. I have never seen abus stop along this road. Idon’t even see signs that thisis a bus stop.

But Google says it is, so itmust be true… right?

As I see the bus coming, Iwave it down. Good thing toobecause the driver was goingto pass me. He stopped sever-al yards away and I jogged tocatch up, pay my $1.30 fareand sit down. It reminds meof the busses in Washington,D.C.

Before coming to theBerlin Citizen, I lived in DCwhere the bus came every 20minutes, cost $1.50 and Ipaid with a SmarTrip® cardwhich I scanned in the bus.Mass transportation wassimple in DC and owning acar was complicated. DC is atangle of one way streets,speed cameras and aggres-sive drivers in black, win-dow-tinted SUVs.

Of course, owning a car iseasier in Connecticut andmany people don’t even

think of taking the bus, but Idiscovered a different cul-ture—a culture of bus rid-ers.

Connecticut’s busses arethe same as DC’s, but thesystem is older. For example,the bus comes once an hourand when I ask for a trans-fer, I’m given a paper card.

It’s easy to see why thebus doesn’t run more often.Only about 10 to 15 peopleride the bus in the trip that Itake.

The AR bus—the name ofthe bus I’m riding— is an ex-press bus that carries pas-sengers from downtownNew Britain to WestfieldMall. Urban hub to urbanhub. A rider could conceiv-ably leap-frog from city tocity all across the state.

While the AR speeds pastthe farmland along Cham-berlain Highway, there areother busses in Berlin. Onestops at the train station andgoes onto the Berlin Turn-pike.

The bus drops us off atone of the entrances to themall. Missing the transfer

would have its perks. I could“miss the bus” and go towork late laden with bags ofmerchandise. I then noticethe mall opens at 10 a.m.—somuch for that.

While I wait, I look at mytransfer ticket. I have 90 min-utes to use it. Issued at 8:48,the ticket expires at 10:18.Also on the ticket, CTtran-sit’s motto is written: “Con-necting the community.”

I liked taking the bus, andso I used it to travel againand again.

People use the AR bus toget to the mall, where theyprobably work. A man whowears leather boots mightuse the bus to get to a con-struction job somewhere inthe state.

I ride with a woman inMeriden who goes to themall to walk; afterwards, shetalks to the bus driver as wemeander through the down-town.

The city rides these busses.A man has asked me for mon-ey to buy cigarettes. Anotherman, riding from Hartford toNew Britain, started a gam-bling game in the back of thebus. Young mothers ride withtheir children. And the busdrivers know many of theriders by name. Bus rides arefilled with music blasting outof headphones, cell phonesringing and the hum of thebus.

The other day, I was aboutto cross the ChamberlainHighway to get to my stopwhen I looked up and the buswas right there. It was earlyand I wasn’t ready. The driversaw me and was slowingdown and stopped. As I put inmy fare, I saw she had thetransfer ticket waiting therefor me.

Golf: BHS girls get revenge, boys 16th at states

Voelpel shines on track;Rombola advances to quarters

By Mark PukaloSpecial to The Citizen

There was no lookingahead and no letdown for theBerlin girls golf team lastweek. For two straight days,the Redcoats were at theirbest.

Berlin scored their seasonlow nine-hole score (161) tobest previously-unbeatenFarmington May 30 by 11strokes, winning its secondstraight CCC divisional title.One day later, the Redcoatsrolled to a 29-shot victory inthe CCC Tournament. Bothwere played at their homecourse – Timberlin, in Kens-ington.

“My biggest fear, aftersuch a big win [againstFarmington], was theymight come in a little flat,”Berlin coach Jim Barnessaid. “But they sure sur-prised me. They playedgreat.”

The Redcoats shot an im-pressive four-ball total of 326and placed four on the all-tournament team in theCCCs.

Julia Kemmling shot 5-over par 77 and Victoria Fa-gan had 79, finishing secondand third behind Farming-ton’s Kelly Whaley (73). Emi-ly Stickel and Emily Deutschhad a pair of 85s for Berlin.

Barnes said Kemmling,

who was medalist 13 times asBerlin went 18-1 overall and6-0 in the division, has com-posure beyond her years.The freshman shot 1-over 37last Wednesday as the Red-coats avenged their only lossat Farmington, which didnot count in the leaguestandings.

“I like the way she thinksherself around the course,”Barnes said. “She’s notprone to making many mis-takes. That’s rare for youngplayers. If she does hit a badshot, she minimizes the dam-age. She’ll get out of troubleand take her medicine. Men-tally, she doesn’t let it botherher. That’s an incredible tal-

ent to have at that age.”Ashley D’Attilio has also

contributed plenty in herfreshman season for the Red-coats. Fagan, a senior co-cap-tain with Stickel, continuedto improve her game.

“[Fagan] is so key for us,”Barnes said. “She’s beenworking on a few swingchanges and they’re just nowstarting to kick in at the

right time.”Berlin went for the second

straight state championship,after press time on Tuesdayat Orange Hills CC. The Red-coats were the second seedbehind Farmington.

Coats’ Notes

By Nick CarrollThe Berlin Citizen

The girls track and field team set a pairof school records and finished a solid eighthat the CIAC Class MM state championshipmeet.

Berlin’s Kate Piotrowicz raised her schoolrecord in the discus to 105-feet, 5-inches andfinished sixth in the event. The senior wenton to place seventh in shot put with a sea-son-best throw of 32-feet, 8-inches.

Teammate Catherine Voelpel also had agood day at the state meet. The junior wasrunner-up in the 400 (school record 57.04),finishing behind the second-fastest 400 run-ner in the country, Hillhouse’s PreciousHolmes.

“Catherine really came through and ran agreat race,” said BHS coach Steve Soucy.

Voelpel then finished fourth in the 200(26.58).

Lady Redcoat senior Alex Carbonellplaced third in the 800 (2:23.70).

In other action that day, Berlin’s 4x400 re-lay team of Carbonell, Kristen Madeia, Kay-lene Sylvain and Voelpel dropped nearlyfour seconds off its previous season-bestand finished second (4:06.70).

Lady Redcoat senior Madison Tavarozzi,sidelined since April with a hamstring pull,clocked a solid 13.82 in the 100.

“Madison works really hard and has putso much into her four years at Berlin High

in both indoor track and outdoor track, thatI was really happy she was able to finish hercareer on a positive note,” said Soucy.

Also representing Berlin in individualevents at the Class MM competition was Ste-fanie Parillo (800), Madeia (1,600), NicoleSylvain (3,200), Chelsea Vujs (300 hurdles),Taylor Lupini (high jump), Shannon Ma-honey (long jump), Briana Cass (triplejump) and Nicole Johnson (discus).

Several BHS athletes qualified for theState Open, held Monday. Powering the lo-cals there was Voelpel (fourth, 400), Car-bonell (19th, 800), Piotrowicz (15th, discus)and the 4x400 relay (15th).

Powered by Connor Hilbie’s fifth place fin-ish in the 3,200, the boys track and fieldteam placed 27th at the CIAC Class MM statemeet.

Hilbie clocked a time of 9:55.95.The senior went on to place 15th in the

3,200 at the State Open, held Monday.The baseball team’s so-so campaign has

come to a close. Berlin knocked off WilcoxTech, 5-0, in the opening round of the CIACClass L state tournament, but fell to Shee-han, 6-2, in the second round.

CIAC bat requirements means less ping in the springBy John Pettit


A new National Federa-tion of State High School As-sociations baseball rule

means there will be a lot lessping in the spring.

The rule, adopted by theConnecticut InterscholasticAthletic Association, re-quires that all non-wood bats

meet the Batted Ball Coeffi-cient of Restitution (BB-COR) performance standard,which is used by the NCAA.

In simple terms, metal BB-COR bats have a smaller

sweet spot and a reducedtrampoline effect. They aresimilar to wood, only saferand more durable.

“You can definitely feel thedifference,” said Southing-ton senior slugger BenNichols. “You have to getused to them. You really haveto hit it dead on to hit a goodball.”

“The ball comes off the bata lot slower,” he reported.“There’s not as much pop,but if you hit the ball goodit’s still going to go prettyfar.”

Formerly, non-wood batshad to meet the Ball ExitSpeed Ratio (BESR) stan-dard. The BBCOR standardis much stricter.

“The new standard en-sures that performances bynon-wood bats are more com-parable to those of woodbats,” according to the Na-tional Federation. “It’s alsoexpected to minimize risk,improve play and increaseteaching opportunities.”

Berlin baseball coach LeoVeleas, for one, likes thechange.

“There is a difference with

these bats,” said Veleas. “Theball comes off the bat differ-ently and it doesn’t go as far.But if you hit it well, likewith wood bats, it will go. Ithink it’s good. Let’s make itmore like real baseball in-stead of 12-10 slugfests. Ithink it’s fine, and I like it.”

Cheshire coach BillMrowka believes the newbats change the strategy in-volved in the game.

“You will see more small-ball as opposed to waiting forthe big inning,” he said.“Bunts and hit-and-runs willplay a bigger role, as willyour infield defense.”

Sheehan coach Matt Al-tieri said: “It’s a change, it re-ally is. You’re basically play-ing with wood, within a fewscientific calibrations. It’sthe BBCOR era. I’m going tohave to make adjustments asa coach, too.”

Altieri said players whosuited up for American Le-gion baseball teams over thesummer used wood bats.

“For them, it’s not a reallybig adjustment,” he said. “By

Makayla Harris pitchedwell for the Lady Redcoats,who lost a two-run lead withtwo away in the seventh.

“Probably the hardest lossof my career,” BHS coach Ja-son Pires said, “partly be-cause of how special thisteam was throughout theseason.”

Berlin ran up a record of14-7 this spring.

“The boys have playedwell,” Berlin coach JohnLine said. “It’s been a bal-anced team from one to nine.We don’t have any super-stars, but we’re deep.”

Berlin, the sixth seed,could not put the perfect capon their season in the CIACDivision II state tournamenton Monday at Timberlin. TheRedcoats shot a four-man to-tal of 342 in cold, wet andvery windy conditions andfinished 16th.

“We had high expecta-tions,” Line said. “Playing athome came with pressure,and even raised expectations.I think, in the end, it wore usdown. I’m proud of the boys.They welcomed the challengeand did not shy from the ex-pectations. They played withheart, but did not have theirA game.”

Berlin finished sixth in theCCC tournament last Fridayat Stanley GC in New Britain.DeSimone led the way with a76 and Bostrom had 77 as theRedcoats equaled their scorefrom 2011 with 324.

BatContinued from page 22

the end of the year, this won’t be a bigdeal. The good hitters will still be goodhitters.”

Both Platt coach Jim Frederick andMaloney coach Howie Hewitt said theyhaven’t noticed much of a differencewith their hitters using BBCOR bats.

“If the bats are more like wood, Ithink it will be really good for thegame,” Hewitt said.

As part of the new rule, all non-woodbats must be labeled with a rectangularBBCOR certification mark a minimumof a half-inch on each side and locatedon the barrel of the bat in any contrast-ing color.

“I hope we don’t have any GeorgeBrett pine-tar incidents,” said Altieri,noting that there have also been storiesabout BBCOR bats being frozen, heated,rolled and otherwise altered to improvepop.

“We’ve had to warn our kids not to dothat,” he said.

While Wilcox Tech coach Dave Croni-nis is all for safety, he said the bat ruleshould be taken a step further.

“I think maybe we should just go overto wood completely and end all the non-sense of changing rules every year andhaving kids go out and buy new bats,” hesaid. “It’s probably coming in the future.We should just switch over to woodnow.”

Cronin said his players have grum-bled about using the BBCORs, but joked,“Of course, they always complain whenthey make an out.”

Southington’s Nichols said all goodhitters will make the necessary adjust-ments.

“You have to hit better pitches,” hesaid. “You have to build confidence inyourself and have better at-bats.”
