Southington kids come full circle with passion for racingBy Julie Sopchak
The Southington Citizen
The cars are relatively small, andthe track is only one-twentieth of amile, but Quarter Midget Racing is cer-tainly not a day at the go-kart tracks.
At Silver City Quarter Midget Clubin Meriden, two Southington nativesfind themselves immersed in the rac-ing culture: 7-year-old Kyle Aldieri, astudent at Strong Elementary School,and 9-year-old Kayla Pelletier, a stu-
dent at Thalberg Elementary School.Aldieri just began racing in April,
when the season began, and is complet-ing his first year of as the season comesto a close in October. Pelletier has onlybeen racing for about two years, thoughher time spent on the winners’ podiumwould suggest far more experience,winning first, second, or third in eachof her first eight competitions. She alsoplaced eighth in her class at nationalslast year in Pennsylvania, earning hera brand new car as a gift from NC Chas-
sis, after she beat the factory’s newermodels on the track with an older mod-el of the same name that is no longer be-ing produced.
When asked why she liked the sportso much, Pelletier held nothing back indisplaying her desire for a victory.
“If there’s special races you get tostand on the podium,” she said with agrin.
Aldieri’s father, John, said his son

Shortly before 10 a.m. onWednesday morning, a work-ing structure fire was report-ed at Jitters Café, 1273 QueenSt., according to fire offi-cials. Southington Fire ChiefHarold Clark said the fire

Southington Citizen editorJulie Sopchak auditioned forthe playCompanywith theSteeple Play-ers of TheFirst Congre-gationalChurch ofSouthingtonto quench herlongtime thirst of wanting tobe in a play. She got the part;a character named Marta,and has decided to chronicleher theatrical exploits for thepublic’s entertainment.
I got my first, in-depthlook at the song I will singduring the play on Sunday,which is “You Could Drivea Person Crazy.” I’d lis-tened to it on CD before,and laughed at how highthe three female singers onthe track were singing it. Ithought to myself, “Oh, I’lljust take the lowest part.”
I found out it doesn’tquite work like that. Appar-ently, you take the partthat’s written for yourcharacter, which I guessmakes sense, but it wouldalso illustrate my luck as
This is MartaThe following is the background story of Marta, character to
be portrayed by Southington Citizen editor Julie Sopchak in theSouthington Steeple Players upcoming production of Compa-ny.
Marta Alejandro Maldonado was born in Spain. Her middlename was supposed to be Alejandra, but a nurse made aspelling mistake and no one bothered to change it.
Her father earned a living as a bull fighter, and upon thedeath of the family’s beloved bull, Chauncey, the Maldonadosdecided to look for a new beginning in America when Martawas just 5 years old.
The family settled in New York in an upscale neighborhood,where Marta frequently clashed with the ritzy culture of up-town Manhattan. At school, she was sent home one day afteran incident with a fellow classmate in which he proclaimedMarta had “more chins than my family has offshore Swissbank accounts,” (Marta was rather chubby), so Marta prompt-ly body-slammed poor Gregory through one of the desks in

the highest part was writ-ten for my character. I’mnot sure if everyone real-izes the miracle needed tomake some of those notescome out of this mouth.Though, the other two girlsI’m singing with seem to beexperiencing the sameproblem – we all seem tohave deeper voices, so it’spossible a key change maybe in order.
The pianist was playingthe notes out so we couldsound our voices to them.For my turn, he played thisreally high note.
“Can you hit that?” Heasked.
I spewed out an attempt.“Try an octave higher…”
he said, hitting the notesome more.
Unfortunately, I wasn’tgoing any higher unlesssomeone slammed my fin-gers in the door, which, ifnecessary, would probablymake for some good stage
comedy when it comes timeto sing the song live.
I’ve also never sung inharmony for an entire song,so it took some adjusting tostick to my part and not justsing what I felt like singing.

I enjoyed listening to theother stories. One actresswrote hers in the form of apoem and read it in a South-ern accent. Another guymade a chart projecting thedifferent levels of love andhow they fluctuate, and thenhe literally formulated anequation of love.
We also rehearsed thegroup songs on Monday,which to say was complicat-ed and difficult would be alarge understatement. Thereis lots of weaving and round-ing and characters interject-ing at precise moments. Mar-ta, luckily, does not have aparticularly large role inthese numbers, but she hasenough to make me go cross-eyed.

One day at the gym, whilebench pressing three staffworkers, a gentleman namedDoug Daniels approached herand asked her out. DougDaniels was a ravishing youngman indeed, but Marta could
lift way more weight than him.So, they dated, but on Marta’sterms.
On their first date, DougDaniels became highly intoxi-cated and indignant towardsMarta. He told her she was ex-tremely manly, and then re-ferred to her as “Martin.” Mar-ta did not appreciate this, soshe punched Doug Daniels,right in the face.

They’re located on oppo-site ends of town, but St.Thomas and St. Dominicschools know how to keep intouch.
Every year, the schoolsjoin together for a walk-a-thon, which is designed toraise money for a localgroup in town which, thisyear, is the Southington Po-lice Department will re-ceive a portion of the pro-ceeds raised. St. ThomasAdvancement DirectorRobin Taillie explained theArchdiocese of Hartford,
which governs the Catholicschool system in Connecti-cut, prefers schools to have
at least one studentfundraiser.
About 150 students from
graders make their waydown to Rails to Trails andwalk for an hour before head-ing back.
This particular event wasthe brainchild of St. ThomasPrincipal MaryPat Wirkus,and has been running – orwalking – for four years.
“I just think it’s a great,fun activity for the kids andthe parents enjoy it, and wedonate money back,” Wirkussaid. “It’s a good way for thekids to learn to give back tothe community.”

Southington, stays inSouthington.”
United Way of Southing-ton President Angelo Coppo-la commented to the gather-ing, saying “The ‘Hearts andHands’ theme was chosen be-cause we believe that it isonly through our connec-tions with the citizens ofSouthington and by workingtogether that we will achieveour objective: to make a dif-ference in the lives of the peo-ple in our community whoneed and deserve our help.”
Long-time member of theboard of directors, Rev. Victo-ria Triano, thanked the com-munity for its generous sup-port in the past and urgedbusinesses and residents tocontinue and to increase thatsupport during the currentcampaign.
The mission of United Wayof Southington is to facilitatea community-wide collabora-tion so that funds can beraised and assistance provid-ed to organizations involved
in human services inSouthington, Marion, Mill-dale and Plantsville.
This year is the first annu-al campaign for Kaye Davis,who joined United Way inMarch. Asked about how thecampaign looks so far, Davissaid, “It’s much too early totell, though I can say that pre-liminary numbers look goodso far. With the relocationaway from Southington of acouple of major corporatedonors since last year, our fo-cus is on resident donor sup-port and that of local smallerbusinesses.”
Davis also said that UnitedWay contributes to the workof 17 agencies who are dedi-cated to helping people inSouthington, including BigBrothers/Big Sisters, Breadfor Life, Catholic Charities,Center for Healthy Aging,Child Guidance Clinic, Com-munity Mental Health Affili-ates, Connecticut Legal Ser-vices, Literary Volunteers ofCentral CT, Margaret GriffinChild Development Center,Mulberry Gardens Adult DayCare Program, PrudenceCrandall Center, Retired Se-
nior Volunteer Services, Sal-vation Army, Visiting NurseAssociation, YMCA ofSouthington, and YWCA Sex-ual Assault Crisis Services.
Coppola said that tax de-ductible donations to theUnited Way of Southingtonmay be made by visitingwww.unitedwayofsouthing-ton.org, or by sending acheck directly to United Wayof Southington at P.O. Box546, Southington, CT, 06489,or by contacting Kaye Davisat United Way of Southing-ton’s office at 860-628-4565.

sit and pitch back and forthwho will be the beneficiary ofthe pledges collected by stu-dents. Past years have yield-ed funds to Bread for Life andSouthington Community Ser-vices.
Usually, they try to pick or-ganizations that are involvedwith kids, and the police de-partment was chosen partlybecause of their involvementin escorting the kids throughtheir walk each year.
“They’ve always been help-ful to us and we can give backto them,” Tiezzi said.
Students receive pledgesbefore they start walking,
WalkathonContinued from page 6
and at the end of the walk,they collect the pledges anddonate them, over the years,the schools have raised over$5,000. This year alone, Tail-lie said students at St.Thomas pulled in over $1,000– more than last year. At St.Dominic, Tiezzi said studentshave pulled in about $3,300.The day is also filled withother activities, like a visitfrom Valentine the Clown, anice cream social, and othergames and activities withphysical education teachersand staff members of theYMCA.
“It brings our two schoolstogether and forms relation-ships amongst the kids andamongst the teachers and theparents,” Tiezzi said.

Pinwheels catch winds of peace at Derynoski
Citizen photo by Julie Sopchak
To commemorate International Peace Day, students and faculty assembled andstuck pinwheels in the front lawn of Derynoski Elementary School to spell out theword “peace.”
By Julie SopchakThe Southington Citizen
While so much of theworld never seems to stopfighting, students and staffat Derynoski ElementarySchool remembered how toget along.
On Sept. 21, InternationalPeace Day, each student andstaff members stuck theirown, handmade pinwheelsin the ground on Derynos-ki’s front lawn, splayed outin such a word to spell outthe word “peace” in giantletters.
The project at the school
was spearheaded by artteacher Michelle Ginand.The day is celebrated world-wide and began in 2005 withtwo teachers in Florida, shesaid.
“I was trying to look for aproject that everyone couldbe involved in,” she said.
She said the project alsoties into the lessons studentslearn from Southington’sTown-wide Effort to Pro-mote Success, the school’santi-bullying curriculum,and other character-build-ing points in the curricu-lum.
Ginand said it took about
two weeks for the entireschool to build their pin-wheels – about 800 overall –and on the bright, sunny daythey were planted outside,the sun reflected off of them
to highlight their presenceon the lawn.
“It looks great,” saidDerynoski Principal JanVerderame.
Each person put a unique
touch to their pinwheel. Gi-nand said students were en-couraged to put a “peaceful”words, images, and colorson their pinwheels to fur-ther demonstrate the theme.

Ghost of oil spill haunts DePaoloBy Farrah Duffany
Special to The Citizen
The Middle School Build-ing Committee may have abig problem on its hands,and solving it could prove tobe time-consuming and ex-pensive.
In July 1980, a 10,000-gal-lon underground storagetank at DePaolo MiddleSchool cracked and leakedmore than 5,000 gallons ofheating oil into the ground.A recent environmentalstudies report by HygenixEnvironmental Consultants& Laboratory Services saidthat the soil around the
school could still be contami-nated and if so, will need tobe cleaned. The companysaid it will need to test thesoil to determine the nextstep.
According to coverage ofthe spill and its follow-up inthe Record-Journal andMorning Record and Jour-nal in 1980, only 68 of themore than 5,000 gallons wasrecovered from the site.
At a building committeemeeting on Sept. 4, Hygenixsaid it learned of the spilland could not find anyrecords on file documentingthe soil’s remediation, mean-ing it will need to do further
testing. If the soil is found tobe contaminated, the reportsaid the Department of En-ergy and EnvironmentalProtection has to be notifiedand the site needs to becleaned to meet state guide-lines.
Chris Palmieri, the vicechairman of the committee,said members want to beproactive about the report.
“Any remediation we takevery seriously and will be re-sponsible,” Palmieri said.“We’re committed to doingwhat needs to be done to rec-tify what happened in thepast.”
The building committee is
overseeing an $85 millionrenovation and expansionproject at DePaolo andKennedy middle schools. En-vironmental testing has beentaking place at both.
There may have not beenany remediation done in 1980besides the 68 gallons thatwere recovered in Septemberof that year, and Hygenixcould not find any documen-tation on file with the state,the DEEP, or the federal orstate database that had anyinformation on cleanup.
“Standards back thenwere less stringent than wemaintain today as far asrecords that we keep,”Palmieri said. “We are tak-ing steps to remedy the prob-lem.”
Palmieri said an update onthe situation’s status shouldcome in the next few weeks.Palmieri said it’s “too early
to tell” how serious the prob-lem is, how much it will cost,or if it will delay the project.
At the time of the incidentin 1980, the Department ofEnvironmental Protection,as it was then known, toldthe school district it neededto remove 90 percent of theoil that had leaked into theground. The New EnglandPollution Control Co. of EastNorwalk worked for morethan three weeks in an at-tempt to recover the thou-sands of gallons that spilled.It cost the town nearly$13,600 for the company’swork and the installation ofa well system to recover theoil.
In September 1980, aRecord-Journal article saidthat John Pyne, the school

has always liked racing, andafter taking him to a carshow in Hartford, Kyle be-came enthralled with theidea of getting in a car him-self.
“I wanted to do it,” Kylesaid.
Pelletier got her first tasteafter football practice oneday (one of the many sportsshe’s been involved with)when her dad, Rob, asked ifshe wanted to do something,so they went and checked outthe track. It would appearthey haven’t left since, rac-ing every Saturday in Meri-den, and traveling to othertracks in the area as well.
Both dads agreed the sportis expensive, but the experi-ence of being on a team withtheir child is far worth it,since the kids can’t get thecar going without a littlepush, literally. Not to men-tion all the mechanical workthat goes into preparing acar for a race each week.
“We’ve been in so manysports, this is the absolutemost family-oriented sportI’ve ever seen in my life,”Rob said.
But not only do familiesbecome a team, everyone atthe track comprises its owntight-knit community, withparents just as involved asthe kids. During each race, aparent is stationed at each ofthe four corners, and if aracer spins out or has diffi-culty for any other reason,
they are pushed back intothe race or pushed into thepit area for repairs. Rob Pel-letier recalled during Kay-la’s first outing when thechain on her car broke.
“There were fathers jump-ing out of the bleachers tohurry up, fix the chain, andget her right back out there,”he said. “And you’re compet-ing against their own kids,it’s amazing.”
“It’s amazing becauseyou’ll have 10 kids out thereagainst each other, but onewill come in and everybodywill go help,” added JuliePelletier, Kayla’s mom.
Age groups are separatedinto different classes and di-visions, and younger racershave plate restrictions ontheir engines to preventthem from going past certainspeeds. Right now, Aldieri’scan’t go faster than 38 mph.Pelletier’s car, on the otherhand, has no restriction, andcan go up to about 50 mph.
Of course, kids whippingaround a track at suchspeeds brings safety con-cerns into the mix. As Pel-letier and Aldieri get suitedup for a practice sessionaround the track, their par-ents explain in detail all theequipment, safety harness-es, and padding that must beused to ensure the safest ridepossible. John Aldieri jokedthat there are so little in-juries, most of the timewhen there’s an accidentthere is more concern aboutwhether or not the car is OK.
“I’m more nervous whenhe rides his bicycle or scoot-
er than I am when he goesdown here,” he said.
Rob Pelletier echoed thesentiment, saying when anaccident happens, the kidsusually end up without ascratch, and want to contin-
ue racing.“I’ve seen some wrecks
that will boggle your mind,but the kid’s laughing,” hesaid.
On www.silvercityquar-termidgets.com, the track’s
website, the “frequentlyasked questions” sectionsays the sport has “fewer in-juries than little-league foot-ball.”

Community Harvest brings in tons of foodCommentary
By E. Richard FortunatoSpecial to The Citizen
It took a lot of planning, or-ganizing and dedication onthe part of many community-minded organizations andpeople, but it was well worthit for the Community HarvestFood Drive, which brought inclose to four tons of donatedfood from the people ofSouthington. The roughly 600shopping bags of food werethe gifts of hundreds of peo-ple.
“It was the kind of sheergenerosity for whichSouthington is well known asa community,” said KathyReinhard, vice-chairperson ofBread for Life.
The advance call to helpwas answered by some 35 to40 volunteers who came for-ward either through theirchurches or other organiza-tions or by word of mouthfrom family members andfriends. Some just read aboutit in the newspaper and decid-

ed to come and help, out of asense of community service,to do something to help feedhungry folks in our midstwho are going through hardtimes.
Now in its fourth year, thefood drive started in 2008
when, upon learning that theSouthington Food Pantry’sshelves were bare, membersof the Rotary Club ofSouthington decided to helpby recruiting Rotarians tostand outside of local storesasking shoppers for food for
the hungry. The effort hasgrown each year with theparticipation of many more.
This year there were sixdrop-off points, includingStop & Shop, Wal-Mart, TopsSupermarket, Beacon Phar-macy, the YMCA, and theTown Green. Each post wasmanned by volunteers, somein shifts, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.Meanwhile, volunteered vansand drivers were picking upfood throughout the day, de-livering it to the Food Pantrywhere others unloaded thefood, brought it into thepantry for inspection,checked expiration dates,sorted by category and storedfood on the nearly emptypantry shelves.
“It was inspiring to seepeople on their way out ofthe stores with bags of gro-
ceries including a bagful as agift of the heart for neigh-bors who, while strangers tothem, were hungry and inneed,” said Ginny Roy, presi-dent of the Rotary Club.
Eldon Hafford, executivedirector of Bread for Life,scurried around town, coor-dinating the vans picking upand delivering food whilealso ensuring that all volun-teers were in place and knewwhat had to be done.
At the food pantry, JanetMellon, executive director ofSouthington Community Ser-vices, was busy coordinatingthe work of volunteers whoseemed to be enjoying the ex-perience of engaging in thiscommunity activity withsome people they knew, and

Wing It to fly on stage at Apple Harvest FestivalBy Kyle Swartz
Special to The Citizen
Everyone is at least some-what familiar with the lumi-nary likes of Coldplay orBruce Springsteen and the EStreet Band. But it’s thesmaller, local acts which ar-dent music fans typically seelive more often, the localbands which fill bars andrestaurants with loyalcrowds, playing covers ofpopular singles or trying outtheir personal songs. The classic rock band Wing Itis one such group, which iscomprised of area musiciansboth professional and ama-teur. The band will be playingat the 2012 Apple Harvest Fes-tival for the second time onSunday, Sept. 30, at 5:15 p.m.They have also played at thetown’s Music on the Greenthree times.
“The customers lovethem,” said Ginny Mazzaro,owner J. Roo’s, a spot theband frequents. “They play alittle bit of everything. Theyalways draw a good crowd.They play here about once amonth.”
Such is the life for localbands, playing regularly incommunity venues in thesurrounding area. Wing Itsinger and bass-guitar playerDoug Riccio said the four-per-son band also consistent-lyperforms at DeMil’s in Ham-den and Laluna in Branford,and also plays the Southing-ton Apple Harvest Festivaland North Haven Fair. WingIt is made up of Riccio, drum-mer Tom Nagy, keyboardistDon Judd and guitaristGeorge Cofrancesco, and per-forms songs from the 60s upthrough modern music.
“All the stuff we do is rec-ognizable,” Riccio said.
The band has been makingappearances at J. Roo’s for adecade, Riccio said, eversince the establishment firstopened. “We usually draw apretty good crowd there,”Riccio said.
Judd, too, spoke well ofthe band’s performances at J.Roo’s. “It’s our kind of crowdthere, more older people,geared toward rock and rollinstead of disco or country,”the keyboard player said.“It’s the music I grew up
with. I love the music. Imean, we play pretty muchfor free. But it’s a lot of fun. Ilove playing the rock and rollstuff.” For Riccio, part of thefun in performing in a localband like Wing It is just that:having fun with the people
who come out to listen.“It’s a fun hobby which al-
lows you to watch peoplehave a good time,” said Ric-cio, who works sales profes-sionally. “People dance. Theyenjoy hearing the band.”
Riccio has played guitarsince high school, when hepicked up the instrumentpurely for fun. Three decadesof a passion for music hasseen him perform with TheBox Tops, who scored a num-ber one hit in 1967 with “TheLetter.” He’s witnessed plen-ty of change in the local mu-sic industry.
“It seems like the bandthing has come back recent-ly,” he said. “It did slow downa bit but now it seems likethere are many more good

Divorce is an emotionally draining process, it’s hard on everyoneinvolved, especially the children.
MEDIATION: Mediation may help resolve many issues and save thefamily from the expense and difficulties associated with litigation. Agood family lawyer works to resolve as many issues in dispute aspossible, allowing the parties to determine what is best rather thanleaving issues of custody, finances and property distribution for a judgeto decide.
LITIGATION: Unfortunately, there are times when you need to fightto protect yourself and to do what’s best for your children. Litigationmay become necessary. In those instances you need an experienceddivorce lawyer. You need an attorney who knows the law, the judges,and the opposing attorneys.

St. Dominic School recognized as a 2012 National Blue Ribbon SchoolBy E. Richard Fortunato
Special to The Citizen
The quiet little Catholic el-ementary school that is St.Dominic School took a leap inits 34-year history when it re-ceived a congratulatory letterfrom U.S. Secretary of Educa-tion Arne Duncan. Theschool had achieved recogni-tion as a 2012 National BlueRibbon School.
“This blue ribbon awardacknowledges your (theschool’s) efforts to ensurethat every child achieves athigh academic levels ormakes significant improve-ment in accordance with theNational Blue Ribbon SchoolProgram criteria,” read Dun-can’s letter. “Your (St. Do-minic) school is a model ofexcellence that will inspireothers.”
The 219 public and 50 pri-vate schools selected nation-ally will be honored at arecognition ceremony inWashington, D.C. on Nov. 12and 13. The National BlueRibbon Schools Program be-

gan 30 years ago.Dr. Dale R. Hoyt, superin-
tendent of Catholic schoolsin the Archdiocese of Hart-ford, said that St. Dominic
School was one of threeCatholic schools in the arch-diocese to have received theaward of excellence and thatonly four in New England
had received this distinction.Among the criteria consid-
ered for eligibility for theaward is that all grades in aschool that took the Iowa Testof Basic Skills had to score inthe 85th percentile or higherin reading and math.
“I am exceedingly proud ofthese three fine schools (Cor-pus Christi in Wethersfield,Our Lady of Mercy in Madi-son and St. Dominic), forachieving the Blue Ribbon
status. I applaud the dedicat-ed efforts of their exception-al leadership team and facul-ty,” Hoyt stated.
Following the ceremoniesin Washington, each schoolwill host a separate celebra-tion honoring their respec-tive students, faculty, admin-istrators and parents. St. Do-minic’s special event will beat 10 a.m. on Wednesday, Dec.12 with Archbishop Henry J.Mansell present.
Asked what the Blue Rib-bon Award meant to her asprincipal of St. DominicSchool, Patricia M. Tiezzisaid, “It’s a special time forall of us here at St. Dominic.The award is validation ofthe hard work of so many.First, our students, who lovetheir school, work conscien-tiously to give their educa-tion the very best that is inthem. Then, there’s our won-derful faculty. These teachersare dedicated to our missionin providing our studentstheir very best to carry themforward through a lifetime.Thirdly, I can’t overstate theimportance of the parentswho go the extra mile in theirchildren’s schooling, alwaysthere to learn more abouttheir children’s progress andhelp at home.

TEEN-SPORT CONCUSSION RISK
The answers you need. The Care you Deserve.
As believers in the nervous system’s ability to maintain and restore health,chiropractors are concerned about preserving the well-being of the nervoussystem’s “command center,” the brain. In recent years, there has been a lot ofattention paid to concussions and their detrimental effects. When parents thinkabout their children’s risk of sustaining a sports-related concussion, footballprimarily comes to mind. However, it should be noted that, while nearly half(47%) of all concussions experienced by high school athletes happen infootball, other sports also pose considerable risk. In particular, girls’ soccer andbasketball and boys’ wrestling, ice hockey, and lacrosse are the sports with thegreatest risk of head injury. Injured kids shouldn’t return to sports until fullyhealed.
When your child has suffered physical injury or shock, visit our clinic for athorough examination as soon as possible. Chiropractic rehabilitation can helpreduce swelling and pain, and through careful stretching and exercise, minimizelong-term effects. Call (860) 621-2225 today and make an appointment with us at200 Queen St.The answers you need.The care you deserve.
P.S. Concussion symptoms include headache, dizziness, nausea, ringing inthe ears, fatigue, and confusion.

can’t forget the wonderfulsupport of St. DominicParish for each of our chil-dren’s achievements.”
Second-grade teacherBernadette “Bernie” Novickihas taught at St. Dominic for29 years – 10 years as a pre-kindergarten teacher and,since then, second-grade.
“I’m overjoyed and proudof the accomplishments ofour students and everyone in-volved in what we do here,”Novicki said. “No one couldhave achieved what has beendone here alone. It is withoutdoubt the work of manythrough their dedication, loy-alty to our purpose and loveof the children who stretchthemselves to learn.”
As pastor of St. DominicChurch, Father Ronald P.May beamed with pride as hecongratulated “the manywho have worked so diligent-ly for so long to bring aboutthis special time in their his-tory.”
As to her initial reaction tothe news, Tiezzi said, “Thewhole experience was muchmore than the final an-nouncement. It has been anongoing process. We learnedlast year that we were eligibleto start making applicationsand taking a series of stepsthat might lead us to a pointof acknowledged achieve-ment. So living through thatspecial time of anticipation, Icannot really say the news ofthe Blue Ribbon recognitionwas totally out of the blue.Still, when we received it, wewere ecstatic. I can’t over-
state the gratitude and re-spect I feel for our facultywho work here because it is acalling to them, not just ajob.”
In concluding the inter-view, Tiezzi turned to aplaque in her office bearingthe school’s mission: “SaintDominic School is a Christcentered learning communi-ty that fosters Catholic faithand Christian values in ourstudents while striving foracademic excellence. We pre-pare our students to becomeresponsible leaders and rolemodels within the Churchfamily and community.”
A fellow principal sent acongratulatory note to Tiezziwhich stated in part that her“gem of a school” had now re-ceived the crown jewel.

came about as its membersplayed in other groups withtheir now-band-mates. Un-like some other bands, WingIt is as much about cama-raderie as performance.
“The guys in the band,
we’re all friends,” Ricciosaid. “Each guy in the band isa great guy, and we all getalong with each other, whichis sort of rare. It’s not alwaysthat you can be friends andplay music together likethis.”

SHS defense shines in Week 2 romp
Big week for Horanzy, spikers;swim team wins two, stays undefeated

Blue Knight Notes
By Bryant CarpenterSpecial to The Citizen
Field goals have been big factors in Southing-ton-New Britain football games the last fewyears.
This time around, it was the ol’ 2-pointer, assafeties swung the situation Southington’s wayon Friday night at Veterans Stadium.
Yeah, safeties plural. The Blue Knights notonly recorded two of them, they did it on two con-secutive series early in the third quarter to turn aCCC Division I West game tied 7-7 at halftime intoa 32-7 Southington runaway.
And as rare a sight as two safeties may be, youcould see it coming. The Southington defense cer-tainly did.
“I told everyone on the defense I was feelingsafety,” said junior defensive end Zach Maxwell,who helped bring down New Britain quarterbackMalique Jones in the end zone with the Hurri-canes backed up on their own 1-yard line. “Thenext play it happened.”
And then it happened again, this time to NewBritain tailback Lamar Bowsky.
From there, junior quarterback Stephen Bar-more and the Southington offense quickly ex-tended the 11-7 lead with three straight touch-downs, giving the Blue Knights a 25-0 knockoutpunch for the third quarter, which seemed to
drag on interminably (a combination ofSouthington scoring and New Britain cramping).
The win puts Southington at 2-0 overall and 1-0in the West and equaled the 31-6 defeat Glaston-
bury pinned on New Britain (0-2, 0-1) in Week 1.Southington’s win wasn’t exactly a piece of art.
The offense struggled to get going and penaltieswere problematic, erasing three touchdowns.
But the Blue Knights never wavered. Theirkeep-at-it attitude was best embodied by senior de-fensive back Corbin Garry. Denied a touchdownon an interception return by a block in the back,he stripped Jones on the next series. Bothturnovers led to Southington touchdowns in thepivotal third quarter.
“The team needed a big play. We started off dryin the game,” said Garry. “I just had to be a leaderto show the team we needed a win in this hostileenvironment.”
Fans on the New Britain side of the stadium didkeep up a screaming blare throughout. But asidefrom an option-based scoring drive that tied thegame in the second quarter, they had little to real-ly cheer for.
Barmore got the Blue Knights out to a 7-0 leadwith a 19-yard dance and dodge in the first quarter,

Ed Aston entered theCheshire Community Poolcountless times during thelatter part of his 37 years asCheshire swimming coach.
Then came August 29,when Aston walked into thepool for the first time sinceretiring from coaching. That,he said, “felt strange.”
Now living in Florida, As-ton was back in town and feltcompelled to visit his formergirls squad and its newcoach, Southington residentDan Mascolo.
“I wanted to stay away, butI wanted to come by one timeto see everybody,” Aston said.“I’m very comfortable withmy decision. It was time andsomeone new needs to comein and do it. I’m good with it.
“I will probably go back tothe car and wonder, ‘Why didI do this?’” Aston added.“They are such a good group.It’s all been such a very im-portant part of my life. Thiswas the tough part and I’mglad I did it. It was good see-ing them.”
Aston left a huge markcoaching both Cheshire swimteams. He guided the girlsprogram to 25 state titles and13 State Open championships
before retiring at the end oflast season. His boys teamswon 18 state championshipsand one State Open. Aston re-tired from that program in2006.
Aston made his biggestsplash with the girls. Thoseteams accumulated over 410dual-meet wins, including anational record 281 straight.The streak began in 1985 andcontinued through the next25 seasons before ending lastfall in Glastonbury.
Aston won numerous Con-necticut coach of the yearawards. He was named theNational High School Athlet-ic Coaches Association’s
swim coach of the year in2006. He was enshrined in theNational High School Athlet-ic Coaches Association’s Hallof Fame this July.
That is the act Mascolomust follow.
The 34-year-old said takingover for Aston is “very hum-bling.”
“This program has beenthe benchmark in Connecti-cut swimming for so manyyears and to have the oppor-tunity to work with a team ofthis caliber is very flatter-ing,” Mascolo said.
Mascolo knows aboutCheshire tradition. For thepast seven years, he hashelped prepare town swim-mers for the high school as acoach for the CheshireYMCA Sea Dogs swim team.
“I’ve known Dan since Iwas 9-years old, so he’s a fa-miliar face with all of us,”Cheshire senior tri-captainMolly Condron said. “Weknow how he works and it’san easy adjustment to comeinto. We knew Ed was goingto leave some day. We weresad to see him go, but weknew it was going to hap-pen.”
Mascolo said he doesn’tfeel an unusual amount ofstress to keep the Rams attheir elite level.
“I don’t feel like there is

any more pressure on mebased on the program thatI’m coming into compared tothe pressure that I would puton myself anyway,” he said.“We’ve competed at a certainlevel and we want to continueto build. This isn’t a programthat rests on its laurels. Theyhave always strived to im-prove day by day and seasonby season and we just want tocontinue that.”
Team unity is one of Mas-colo’s main messages to histeam.
“I like to bring the team to-gether,” Mascolo said. “It’s ateam sport. It’s a team sportthat’s viewed as an individ-ual sport. First and foremost,we are trying to build a
strong team. We are trying toget every individual toachieve their goals and alsofocusing on team goals.
“It’s a very dedicated andcommitted team,” he added.
Cheshire athletic directorSteve Trifone has been im-pressed with Mascolo.
“Dan is intense, but veryfair with the kids,” Trifonesaid. “He knows what ateenager’s life is like. When itcomes to swim time, he worksthem hard. He has a nice mixto keep it intense and fun. Heand Ed have a lot of the samephilosophies of working thegirls hard and making thembelieve they can be betterthan they are.”
The Mascolo era atCheshire High is off to agreat start. At press time,Cheshire was a perfect 4-0.

then added a 10-yard scoringburst up the gut in the third.He also tossed a 41-yard TDpass to Alex Jamele, finish-ing with 201 yards passing(10-for-14) and 55 yards rush-ing.
Afterward, the junior QBtipped his helmet to the D.
“The defense this year islike no other team I’ve everplayed on before,” Barmoresaid. “We’re not the biggestdefense in the world, but weare so fast and we play sophysical, and the coaches doa real good job of making upthe defensive schemes. Iknow the defense is going tobe lights out every night. It’sawesome they gave us thosetwo safeties to work with.”
After yielding 143 yards inthe first half, the Southingtondefense had New Britain go-ing backward in the secondhalf, and not just on thesafeties. Against theSouthington first-stringers,the Hurricanes were minus-11 rushing after halftime andhad just 20 yards in the air.Along with the two safeties,the Southington D picked offthree passes and recoveredtwo fumbles (one on a punt).
“We gave up that one drive;we had to make a couple ad-justments at halftime,” notedSouthington head coachMike Drury, who calls the de-fense. “I told them, ‘We’ve gotto play a physical brand offootball,’ and that’s what theydid. We imposed our will andthat’s what we want to do de-fensively.”
With the defense came a
stout early-season victory forBig Blue.
“Every game you win isbig,” said senior linebackerNick Spitz, who made his liv-ing in the Hurricanes back-field all night. “But this isNew Britain; this is a great ri-valry.”
