Electronic billboards a no go on I-91
Bernard Pellegrino, the lawyer representing Indepen-dent Outdoor, the outdoor media company in Walling-ford, had his application for outdoor advertising signs on I-91 denied by the Planning &
Zoning Commission Monday night, which delighted a num-ber of residents who spoke out vehemently against the project during deliberations.
Mary White spoke at length about the harm of digital ad-vertising signs to residents near the highway. “The elec-tric billboards are very bright
and light trespass will occur,” she said.
She also said drivers are distracted by electronic bill-boards and the billboards could fall during severe storms causing electrical damage.
After a long presentation by Pellegrino, who brought a
lighting engineer with him to discuss the impact of digital signs, the commission voted almost unanimously to deny the application.
Pellegrino noted the signs would generate substantial revenue for the town with an annual fee of $25,000 per face for 12 signs that have two
faces.But Jim Giulietti, a com-
mission member, said, “I’m cognizant of the money, but we live in this town and the visual pollution is very distracting.”

Residents of Clintonville Road and the surround-ing area who objected to the construction of eight condos at 518 Clintonville Road by North Haven Op-portunities for Affordable Housing, will be delighted by the decision of the Planning & Zoning Com-mission Monday night to deny the application.
The commission delib-erated on the issue at the end of a long meeting and voted to deny the applica-
tion, after two members tentatively approved it.
Theresa Ranciato-Veile and James Giulietti en-couraged the commission to support the project in accordance with the state’s 8-30g affordable housing statute, which al-lows developers to over-step a town’s zoning laws if 10 percent of the town’s housing stock isn’t affordable.
The NOAH project is scheduled to build eight units on one and a half acres in a R-40 zoning district, which allows a
one-family house on a one-acre site. “It’s the wrong thing to do in their neighborhood, which is a single-family area, but the 8-30g law was passed by the state and we don’t have much choice but to approve it,” Giulietti said.
“If we deny it, it will go to court,” Ranciato-Veile said.
The town has lost cases in the past via the 8-30 law and may be on the verge of another.

Fred Della Valle, a North Haven resident and the re-gional vice president of American Medical Response, won the 2014 Presidents Award at the American Am-bulance Association national conference in Las Vegas Nov. 18.
Jimmy Johnson, presi-dent of the AAA, said Della Valle received the award for
his dedication to the ambu-lance industry and AAA. “He has been an active member of AAA for well over three decades and started out 30 years ago as a paramedic providing clinical ambu-lance service throughout Connecticut, which gives him specific knowledge of the work clinicians do every day out in the field,” Johnson said.

There’s good news for those dreading the cold this winter: Despite recent occurrences of
immense snowfall in Buffalo, New York, and a record-break-ing cold temperature for the date recorded in Bridgeport on Nov. 19, there are some signs this winter may be less cold and snowy than origi-nally predicted by the Farm-er’s Almanac, which forecasts a winter snowier and colder than average.
According to Gary Les-sor, assistant director of the Weather Service at Eastern Connecticut State University, some long range computer-ized models of weather sys-tems are suggesting that this December, January and Febru-ary will be warmer than aver-age in Connecticut.
Long term predictions are tricky, but there are many in-dicators experts use to predict the weather trends, Lessor ex-plained. “It has a lot to do with different oscillations,” he said.
The Arctic oscillation, for example, may force cold air
southward, and oscillations in the Atlantic and Pacific can also have a large impact on lo-cal weather.
Although the northeast may be in store for a milder win-ter according to some mod-els, those same models also suggest a colder winter to the west. “There are some con-flicting ideas out there,” Les-sor said.
Colder than average weather should not be taken as evidence that global warm-ing – climate change – is not occurring, however, Lessor said. There is overwhelm-ing consensus in the scien-tific community that global climate change is occurring, Lessor said, but increasing average temperatures doesn’t mean that the earth will not continue to experience ice ages, as it has in the past. If an ice age did occur, however, it

other member, said, “Former governor Jodi Rell banned billboards and we don’t need them in North Haven. Every-thing is not for sale in this town.”
Commission chairman Vern Carlson, said, “Some form of advertising may be viable, but not this.”
Only vice chair Ronald Penton didn’t vigorously op-pose the application. “The applicant has made a number of changes and I’d like to take a month to think about it,” he said. But the application was denied so it won’t be on the agenda next month.
The application didn’t per-mit signs in any residential zone, but in response to ar-guments by the commission and White, that some resi-dents would see the signs, he offered to include amend-
ments for each permit that would have limited the scope of the digital signage.
The application also stated that “morally distasteful, re-ligious or racial and contro-versial issue” messages could not be posted. Giulietti said this would prohibit churches from advertising and Penton asked, “Who will monitor the messages?” Pellegrino didn’t provide a clear answer.
Pellegrino said the eco-nomic benefits would in-clude promoting local businesses, but commis-sion members said the signs would be largely sold to na-tional advertisers with no lo-cal connections.
There are digital adver-tising signs on I-91 in Wall-ingford and New Haven but Giulietti said, “I don’t see any reason why we need to do it in North Haven.”

mission, Vern Carlson, said, “We’ve taken 8-30 all the way but this one is different. It’s not in harmony with the neighborhood, so I’m not in favor.”
Vice chairman Ronald Pen-ton said, “I’d like to approve NOAH housing and I wish it wasn’t in this location.” He denied the application be-cause of the traffic problems in the area. He cited a traf-fic study done by the devel-
oper that counted 1,800 cars a day in the area going over the speed limit. “It’s danger-ous for a single-family home, so when you multiply it by eight it’s more of a problem. I go negative.”
Curtis Andrews, another member, also voted nega-tive due to the traffic issue, accounting for a 3-2 margin.
After the vote was taken, Ranciato-Veile noted the town will incur a legal ex-pense fighting the appeal but Penton said the legal ex-
pense is preferable to a child being hit by a car on Clinton-ville Road.
John Parese, the lawyer representing NOAH, said, “I agree with Ranciato-Veile and Giulietti. They know it’s going to go to court, which will order it approved be-cause it’s very difficult for a town to prevail in an afford-able housing appeal. Now NOAH and the town will have to spend more, and this is additional resources that could be better spent.”

At his current job, Della Valle works with indus-try leaders and members of Congress to educate them on issues such as ambulance services and the role they play in the national health-care and emergency re-sponse system.
“I formulate legislative guidelines and work with state legislators on Medi-care issues,” Della Valle said. “I make sure on a state and federal level we’re able to
give folks the tools to go out and provide optimal patient care.”
“On the state level, I work to ensure regulations are in place that enable Emer-gency Medical Technicians and Paramedics to provide patient care to members of our communities. On the federal level, I work to ed-ucate members of Congress in an attempt to understand the need to provide funding that covers all levels of pre hospital care to all patients including Medicare patients.
Our goal is to make sure there’s funding to Medicare patients so those on fixed in-comes don’t have to pay out of their pockets,” Della Valle said.
Della Valle is also a val-ued community member who belongs to the advi-sory committee of Mothers Against Drunk Driving. He’s the former chairman of the North Haven Senior Housing Authority and a member of the Tomahawk Club and has coached youth sports.

Are You Looking for aNew Way to Get Healthy?
I am a Chiropractor today because my life was turned around by the power of an adjustment. As a young child, I suffered from a myriad of unexplained health issues.My mother did not know where to turn. When I was 6 years old, I began getting adjusted regularly. Immediately, my health improved and I began to thrive like a normal child should. Then in 1990, I fractured my spine during a ski-ing accident. My choice to seek chiropractic care quite literally saved my life. My body was able to heal without risky drugs or surgery. Had I not known about the power of Chiropractic, I may not be here to share my story. Our principle is simple, your body has the power to heal itself; it was de-signed that way. This power flows from your brain to your body over the spinal cord and vast network of nerves. When stresses in our lives cause a shift in the spinal bones, there is interference in that brain to body connection. Over time, this leads to dysfunction, and often sickness, pain and disease.
I want to be your family’sChiropractor.
We have one goal in our office: to remove this interference so that your innate healing power flows and your body works perfectly, the way it was in-tended to. We have created an environment that allows you to get adjusted in an efficient and affordable way. Since 1996, Dr. Dawn Tobin has helped thousands of people regain their health with natural chiropractic care.
If you are frustrated with your current state of health and looking to try something new, please call our office today to schedule a NO-CHARGE CONVERSATION with the doctor. Find out how we can help!
Experience you can
trust!

A ziti dinner fundraiser, in memory of John Liquori, is scheduled for Friday, Dec. 5, 6 to 11 p.m., at the Foxon Vol-unteer Firehouse, Route 80, East Haven. Proceeds ben-efit the John Liquori Memorial Foundation, which helps individuals who wish to pursue an interest in sports and music. A fee is charged. Tickets are available at the door, or visit www.doitforjohn.com.
Memorial fundraiser Dec. 5Kevin B. Sullivan, com-
missioner of the Connecti-cut Department of Revenue Services, warns state home-owners about a new ploy claiming government agen-cies placed liens on the vic-tim’s property.
“The holidays are ap-proaching, but crooks never take time off and they are always developing new schemes to take your money away. Impersonating gov-ernment officials is a popu-lar ploy and it is being used in the letters sent to vic-tims claiming that DRS and the IRS filed property liens against the victim,” said Sullivan.
The letter instructs vic-tims to call an 800 number to resolve the matter, which is when the scammer attempts to scare the homeowner into sending a payment.
Said Sullivan, “We have shared this information with the Connecticut Attor-ney General and the Con-necticut Intelligence Center with Homeland Security in the hope of stopping these thieves. We will also post information on our website and in our offices warning taxpayers about this scam.
“If anyone receives any phone calls, emails, letters, or other communication claim-
ing to be from the IRS or DRS and demands immediate pay-ment for taxes, contact our department immediately! All phone numbers and methods for contacting DRS can be found on the DRS website at www.ct.gov/drs.”
For more information about the Connecticut tax issues, visit www.ct.gov/DRS or call 1-800-382-9463 (Connecticut calls outside the Greater Hartford calling area only) or (860) 297-5962 (from anywhere).

Connecticut veterans being short-changed
Recently, our communities hosted a variety of Veterans Day events — concerts, parades and community breakfasts were advertised everywhere. Local businesses offered veter-
ans free meals and schools created lesson plans aimed at teaching our youth what Vet-erans Day is all about. And this was the right thing to do.
But now that the holiday has passed, are people still thinking about our veterans and the challenges they face? Most likely, the answer is no.
These brave men and women put their lives on the line to keep us safe, and in return, they deserve our
support and recognition – every day. Cur-rently, there are 330 homeless veterans on record in Connecticut, representing nearly 10 percent of all homeless adults – that doesn’t account for all of those that are not on re-cord and still homeless. Nationally, nearly 70 percent of veterans suffer from substance abuse issues and almost half of all veterans suffer from some sort of mental illness, with suicide rates on the rise. I am saddened and frustrated by these statistics. There must be a way for us to do a better job of protecting those who sacrifice so much to protect us.
Thankfully, we have local resources that want to help. Columbus House and Hark-ness House in New Haven are dedicated to enhancing the lives of individuals strug-gling with homelessness, substance abuse, and mental health issues. Also, the Chrysalis Center in Hartford has recently announced a new initiative to help homeless veterans and their families. Thanks to a $3 million state grant, the Chrysalis Center will be able to establish supportive residences that will of-
fer assistance to veterans battling substance abuse, mental illness, and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).
Additionally, Governor Malloy has in-creased the number of Rental Assistance Vouchers that are currently available to our local veterans. The vouchers are available to veterans receiving HUD-Supportive housing, who are ready to leave, but are unable to af-ford a rental unit on their own.
As fantastic as all of this is, Connecti-cut veterans are still being short-changed. Money designated by the federal govern-ment for veteran care is not going directly to the Department of Veterans Affairs, but is instead being deposited into the state’s Gen-eral Fund – meaning any state agency is eli-gible to make a claim on those funds. It is for this reason that many veterans don’t receive proper medical care and many veteran hous-ing locations are in desperate need of repair and updating – this is just unacceptable.
I think we have an obligation to do better. Our local heroes deserve medical care.
They deserve a safe place to live. They de-serve the opportunity to make a living and care for their loved ones. They deserve re-spect and recognition for their sacrifices. We need to ensure that veteran programs are fully funded and that our government continues to reevaluate veterans’ needs in order to expand programs accordingly. Local employers need to actively seek out veterans and the specific, unique skillsets they have to offer.
I hope that we can all make a conscious ef-fort to keep our veterans and their very spe-cific needs in the forefront of our minds each and every day – not solely on Nov. 11. Let’s come together to ensure that the transition to civilian life is as seamless and successful as possible.

Winter
may be warmer than it would be otherwise, Lessor said.
Although global warming has been shown to increase average temperatures and melt polar ice, with NASA data showing sea levels ris-ing nearly seven inches in the last century and with the rate of increase doubling in the past decade, climate change also generally increases the amount of energy in weather
systems.Lessor said this is why
global warming can be re-sponsible for greater extremes of both heat and cold. Al-though Connecticut has seen record-breaking cold tem-peratures on some days this year and last year, the trend is generally toward warming, with the 20 warmest years on record occurring since 1981 and the 10 warmest years on record occurring in the past 12 years, according to NASA.

Regulators propose slashing CL&P rate increase
HARTFORD (AP) — Con-necticut regulators say that a power utility’s request to raise consumer costs by more than $230 million should be cut nearly in half.
A draft decision issued Mon-day by the Public Utilities Reg-ulatory Authority reduces the amount sought by Connecticut Light and Power by more than $100 million.
The utility sought the in-crease in electric distribution rates in part to recover costs associated with major storms in 2011 and 2012. The amount the company was able to seek had been reduced because of penalties for issues in prepar-ing for and restoring service from Tropical Storm Irene and a snowstorm in October 2011.
The utility has defended the rate request for capital im-provements in equipment and systems.
The increase is to go before PURA’s commissioners for a fi-nal vote on Dec. 17.
665 accidents, 25 DUI arrests in Connecticut
MIDDLETOWN (AP) — Connecticut State Police say they’ve responded to 665 car crashes and arrested 25 people for driving under the influence during beefed-up enforcement during the Thanksgiving holi-day period.
Extra patrols began early Tuesday morning, Nov. 25 and was to continue through Sun-day night.
Troopers say 88 accidents involved injuries and one per-son died. Police say 29-year-old Luis Contreras of Norwalk was killed Nov. 25 when his car crashed on Route 7 in Norwalk. The cause of the accident is under investigation.
State police say they were targeting drunken drivers and aggressive drivers.
Troopers say they’ve issued nearly 890 speeding tickets and nearly 300 tickets for fail-
ure to wear seat belts. They’ve also cited nearly 2,600 drivers for hazardous moving viola-tions including tailgating and illegal cell phone use while driving.
State promotes major changes in social studies
HARTFORD (AP) — Con-necticut is considering the big-gest change in social studies lessons in more than 15 years to confront a vast and growing web of cultural information and current events on social media, websites and other sources.
Social studies teachers want students to not only know the answers to key questions in history, economics, geography and civics but to also under-stand what questions to ask. The intent is to separate valu-able information from what’s useless or inaccurate.
The changes are associated with Common Core standards. Opponents are wary about re-visions to social studies that may be more subjective than changes to math and science.
The curriculum proposal is called the Connecticut Ele-mentary and Secondary Social Studies Frameworks. Districts can decide whether they want to use it.
Open houses planned for new bus lane
HARTFORD (AP) — Con-necticut transportation offi-cials are holding open houses over the coming weeks to help educate commuters about the new, soon-to-open central Connecticut bus-only corridor.
The first open houses for CTfasttrack were planned in Hartford on Tuesday at the Hartford Public Library and Thursday, Dec. 4 at the Old State House. Others are sched-uled in December and January in New Britain, West Hartford, Newington, Waterbury, South-ington, Plainville, Cheshire and Bristol.
Members of the public will be able to learn more about purchasing tickets, planning
trips, new routes and connect-ing to other bus routes. A new CTfastrack bus, a ticket vend-ing machine and online trip planner will be available at each open house.
The $567 million, 9.4-mile bus-only corridor between Hartford and New Britain is scheduled to begin operations on March 28.

Pilot describes emergency landing
W E ST H A RT F O R D (AP) — The pilot of a sin-gle-engine plane that made an emergency landing on a bus-only roadway in Con-necticut says he’s lucky to have survived and is glad no one on the ground was hurt.
Danny Hall of Torrington says he experienced en-gine problems and lost power while flying the Sky-line Cessna from Robertson Field in Plainville to Hart-ford-Brainard Airport on Sat-urday afternoon.
Hall says he called Hart-ford-Brainard Airport to have them tell his four kids he loved them if he didn’t survive, then put the plane down on a road with no traffic on it. It turned out to be the under-construction busway.
Federal off ic ia ls are investigating.
Hall says he also survived a plane crash in 2008 into the Pawcatuck River in Westerly, Rhode Island, and is consid-ering giving up flying.

Holiday open house Dec. 7
HARTFORD — Though Gov. Dannel P. Malloy insists spending cuts will be used to close this year’s $100 million budget deficit, GOP lawmak-ers say the Democratic gover-nor is poised to quietly use a rarely publicized bonding tool to effectively close much of the shortfall with borrowing.
Senate Minority Leader Len Fasano, of North Haven, and Deputy House Minority Leader Vincent Candelora, of North Branford, both chal-lenged the administration last week to forgo using certain proceeds from bonds sold at premium rates to balance the books. That follows a report late last month from the legis-lature’s nonpartisan Office of Fiscal Analysis that the bud-get’s prime account for paying principal and interest on state debt is on pace to finish $105 million in the black.
“This is one of the best-kept secrets in the building,” Candelora, a veteran mem-ber of the Finance, Revenue and Bonding Committee, said Nov. 24. “It is essentially like borrowing to build up your savings account. It doesn’t make sense, and it’s the lack of transparency that allows these types of practices to occur.”
“They know this is very complicated stuff,” Fasano added. “You are selling out the taxpayers of the future to get operating income today. If businesses did that, they would be out of business.”
At issue is a tool that helps the treasurer’s office market the state bonds sold on Wall Street to finance school con-struction and other major capital projects.
The state, in some instances when issuing bonds, will pay a higher interest rate than orig-inally planned, in return for a premium – extra money to the state in addition to the bonds’ face value.
Besides being an effective marketing tool, bond premi-ums also provide states with additional funds that then can be used to pay off high-inter-est-rate debt, or to avoid fu-ture debt by paying cash for
certain projects.But governors and legisla-
tures also have used bond pre-miums – usually during times of fiscal crisis – to effectively turn the bonding process into a piggy bank to support the state’s operating budget.
If the state uses the premi-ums to replace funds already budgeted to reduce debt — rather than to augment them — it leaves a surplus in the debt service account. And if Malloy and the legislature re-assign those funds to cover deficits in other areas in the budget, Connecticut effec-tively will be paying inter-est to operate government day-to-day.
According to records from the treasurer’s office, the state had taken $41 million in bond premiums through the first four months of the fiscal year.
The treasurer’s office said the state took another $37.7 million premium this week on $300 million in new bonds. That means more than $78 million has been added to the budget’s debt service line item since the fiscal year be-gan. Could those funds be used to close the deficit?
The governor’s budget of-fice would not rule out that possibility.
“To use the debt service lapse for non-related line items requires legislative approval,” Gian-Carl Casa, spokesman for the governor’s budget office, wrote in a state-ment Nov. 25. “That said, re-ducing the state’s long-term obligations has always been a goal of the governor’s, and as we confront the present and future budget challenges, that will remain a priority.”
Malloy relied heavily on bond premiums during his first three years in office, us-ing more than $160 million to close budget deficits or to bolster the emergency re-serve, commonly known as
the Rainy Day Fund.The governor did an-
nounce $48 million in emer-gency budget cuts recently. And he asked the legislative and judicial branches and the state’s watchdog agencies — which are exempt from emer-gency cuts — to voluntarily accept another $7 million in reductions.
This would reduce the $100 million deficit to $45 million.
But Republican lawmak-ers said that they fear the
Is Malloy poised to put much of the budget deficit on state’s credit card?

shortfall will grow again. One particular area of concern in-volves a warning from Comp-troller Kevin P. Lembo, who estimated last spring that the new budget lacked $52 mil-lion to cover contractually-re-quired health care benefits for retired workers.
Both Candelora and Fa-sano added they would in-troduce legislation in 2015 to
require the treasurer to re-port monthly to the General Assembly on all bond premi-ums taken, and on the interest rates involved.

As part of its effort to open a New Haven-Springfield rail line station on Devine Street, the town approved a Tran-sit-Oriented Development grant proposal at a town meeting Monday evening that will be submitted to the state in an effort to win a grant.
The grant from the Depart-ment of Transportation may be anywhere from $25,000 to $200,000 and First Selectman Mike Freda estimated, “It will be in the neighborhood of $50,000 and a decision is likely next spring.”
The grant will pay for up-grades to the area around the site of the proposed train sta-tion. “It will be used for side-
walk design, signalization, crosswalks, traffic lights and a sidewalk network connect-ing State and Devine streets,” Freda said.
Freda believes the town will win the grant based on recent neighborhood up-grades, including Village on State, the senior housing that is under construction, Yale New Haven Hospital and
other medical facilities, in-cluding a new medical center that will open next spring and the Ridge Hill Animal Hos-pital on State Street and the Cumberland Farms mini mart that will open at the current J Roos restaurant location on State Street with J Roos mov-ing to Stiles Lane.
“DOT is impressed with our development and is sol-
idly behind us,” Freda said. “Federal funding for the train station will follow and the state is working on our behalf to get the funding.”
If the state grant is ap-proved before federal fund-ing is secured, “It will be part of the design phase that is presented to the federal gov-ernment for funding,” Freda said.

SportsHigh school football fever: 32 get to dance, 8 will win
PLAYOFF CENTRAL — Sunday’s CIAC Football Committee seeding meet-ing made official what ev-erybody knew shortly after Southington wrapped up its 44-7 Apple Classic victory over Cheshire on Saturday.
The Blue Knights would be opening up their post-season with the team against whom they opened the regu-lar season: Glastonbury.
The rematch of Southing-ton’s 41-38 victory in Week 1 was made possible by (A) Southington’s romp over Cheshire and (B) Bristol Central’s 20-18 loss at the same hour to Bristol Eastern.
Had either Cheshire or Central won Saturday, they would have made the Class LL field.
Instead, the Tomahawks — who also benefited from Thanksgiving losses by Fairfield Prep, McMahon
and Greenwich — will be advancing to their seventh straight postseason. That’s a run surpassed only by New Canaan’s 10 straight and An-sonia’s nine.
And while the Tomahawks (8-3) may have grabbed the eighth and final Class LL berth after five teams above them failed to clinch, it’s not really fair to say they backed in. Glastonbury, after all, beat the two teams who will meet in the other Class LL-Large semifinal, New Britain and NFA.
Southington, of course, lost to no one, running the table at 10-0. That gave the Blue Knights the top seed in LL-Large and home-field advantage for Saturday’s semifinal with Glastonbury. Kickoff at Fontana Field is 2 p.m.
Southington is one of last year’s four state champions
back to defend its crown. The Blue Knights join New Canaan (Class L), St. Jo-seph-Trumbull (Class M) and Ansonia (Class S).
Even if these teams repeat, they will not stand alone. This year and this year only, the CIAC Football Commit-tee has subdivided its four traditional classes by en-rollment. This year and this year only, there will be eight state champions determined by two rounds of playoffs.
Next year, the template shifts back to four classes and three rounds of playoffs. The difference is, the regu-lar season will be limited to 10 games and everyone must have a bye week. Limitations on the amount of contact in practice will also be in place as the Committee looks to reduce injuries, particularly concussions.
Bottom line as we move
into this December: The 2014 dance will be unlike any before it or any to follow.
Of the 32 teams to qualify, nine are from the Central Connecticut Conference. The SCC, ECC and Pequot have four apiece.
All eight of the state’s con-ferences are represented. The South-West Confer-ence has the fewest entrants with just two, but both are legitimate state contenders — Newtown (12-0) in LL-Small and Brookfield (10-2) in M-Large.
Southington was denied a potential showdown of unbeatens with Newtown in the LL-Large final when Glastonbury, with its larger enrollment, got in and New-town dropped to LL-Small.
Elsewhere around the state, the Class L-Large fi-nal looms as a rematch be-tween FCIAC rivals Darien (11-0) and New Canaan (9-1). In their Thanksgiving show-down that doubled as the FCIAC championship game, Darien rallied to beat New Canaan 28-21 in overtime.
Another Thanksgiving rematch looms in Class L-Small. CCC Division II-West rivals Windsor (10-0) and Middletown (8-2) will clash anew should they beat two SCC teams, North Haven (9-2) and No-tre Dame-West Haven (8-3), respectively, in the semis. Windsor pinned a 42-20 de-feat on the Blue Dragons in Middletown Nov. 25.
Enrollment divisions will prevent an interesting match-up in Class M, home to the state’s most prolific offense (Ledyard, 561 points scored) and the state’s most stingy defense (Berlin, 57 points allowed). Should seedings hold, however, the finals should be interesting: Ledyard against defending champ St. Joe’s in M-Large, Berlin against Brookfield in M-Small.
The S division could see a compelling finals in the Large bracket between Val-ley Regional and Ansonia. Valley Regional, at 11-0, is the top seed. Ansonia (10-1) is the defending champ.– Record-Journal staff
