18-year-old faces manslaughter charge for Darling St. apartment blaze

By Jesse Buchanan Special to The Citizen

BRISTOL — After a latenight party that included beer and vodka, Eric Morelli threw a firework through a window at a Southington apartment complex hoping to get the attention of a friend with whom he planned to smoke marijuana, according to an arrest warrant unsealed Aug. 1.

Kristen Milano, 19, died in the ensuing fire on June 22.

Morelli, 18, was charged with manslaughter in the case. He is due to appear in New Britain Superior Court Sept. 4.

Judge Robyn Stewart Johnson ordered the warrant unsealed Aug. 1, saying there was no reason to keep the document from the public, despite objections from MoSee Warrant / Page 3

Hartford HealthCare plans to close the emergency room at the Hospital of Central Connecticut’s Bradley Memorial campus and reopen it on Queen Street.

The intended move was announced to hospital employees last week. Jose Perez, a Bradley employee and Connecticut Health Care Associates executive secretary, said he’s not sure about the impact to emergency room employees.

Hartford HealthCare’s network includes the New Britain and Southington campuses of the Hospital of Central Connecticut as well as MidState Medical Center in Meriden and a number of other hospitals.

Perez said the hospital would post its intent to file for a certificate of need from the state in area newspapers beginning this week. The hospital needs permission to close and reopen the emergency room from the state Office of Health Care Access.

keeps encroaching and we have to keep cutting it back,” Sheldon Corrow said as he explained cutting back nearly five feet of the weed.

“Last year it was bananas and covering everything,” Pat Corrow added. “We used big paper bags and were filling them no problem.”

The Corrows, of Maple Rock Road, have been dealing with an invasive species indigenous to Asia called persicaria perfoliata, also known as the “mile-a-minute” weed.

It grows rapidly, hence the name, and is found in more than 40 towns in Connecticut, said Carole Cheah, a research entomologist with the Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station.

The mile-a-minute weed takes over the natural vegetation and is hard to control.

weed came from Pennsylvania in the 1980s. The first report in Connecticut was in Greenwich in 2000. The Corrows’ mile-a-minute was the first report of one in Southington, said Cheah.

Many of the weeds have been found in Fairfield County.

Very few have been found in Central Connecticut and scientists are trying to stop the spread.

To combat the vine in the Corrows’ backyard, Cheah, along with research assistant Liz Young and a senior extension educator from UConn, Donna Ellis, released 1,000 insects July 30 that will feed on the plant.

Rhinoncomimus latipes, or the weed-feeding weevil, are being used as a biological control agent. The insects have been in the state since 2009, Cheah said.

“That’s why the federal government funded the release of the weevils to stop it from spreading,” Cheah said.

“That plant by the end of the summer will have taken over.”

relli’s lawyer.

Ray Hassett, an attorney representing Morelli, said the warrant would interfere with his client’s right to a fair trial by prejudicing people against Morelli. The warrant also included hearsay and “embarrassing” details about the victim, Hassett said.

Morelli and Jason Milano, Kristen Milano’s brother, were at a party near Central Connecticut State University that lasted until about 3 a.m. on June 22. The two had planned to meet at Jason Milano’s home in the Summer Brook Apartments, but upon returning to his house, Jason Milano fell asleep on a living room couch. He told police he’d been drinking and smoking marijuana at the party.

According to the affidavit, the next thing Jason Milano remembers is his aunt Diane Goodrich waking him up telling him the house was on fire.

According to neighbors and an interview with Morelli himself included in the

warrant, Morelli admitted to driving to Jason Milano’s on his moped. Although he could see Jason Milano asleep on the couch, Morelli couldn’t wake him by calling his name so he got some small fireworks from his moped. The first two thrown at a window bounced off the screen but a third went through an opening into the living room.

When interviewed by police, Morelli didn’t know that Kristen Milano had died, according to the affidavit. Morelli told police what he did was stupid and that it could have been “really, really, really bad on my end.”

Later when told that Kristen Milano had died, police said Morelli began to cry.

Fireworks were found around the apartment window, and neighbors interviewed by police remembered a young man fitting Morelli’s description at the window and calling for Jason Milano, according to the warrant.

Goodrich told police she woke up when the fire alarm went off. She found the fire on top of her nephew’s pillow and tried to put it out

but couldn’t, according to the warrant.

Goodrich then put her dog in her car and called for Jason Milano to wake up. By the time she woke Jason Milano, “the entire second floor was on fire.”

Goodrich told police that when she and her nephew were out that there was no one left in the building.

While Kristen Milano’s mother Mary Milano lives at the home, she was staying over her boyfriend’s house that night, according to the warrant.

Firefighters found Kristen Milano dead in a second-floor bedroom. The state Office of the Chief Medical Examiner investigator Natasha Edwards told police that smoke inhalation was likely the cause of death. Kristen Milano’s body was identified based on tattoos.

Investigators with the Southington Fire Marshal’s office and the State Police Fire and Explosion Investigation Unit determined the fire was caused by a firework thrown into Jason Milano’s bedroom.

ing to close its 15-bed inpatient unit at Bradley. State approval is also required for that action.

Town Manager Garry Brumback said hospital officials gave him a courtesy call after meeting with employees last week. Brumback was told the hospital planned to open an emergency care facility near Knights Inn, 462 Queen St., just south of Interstate 84.

Hospital officials plan to replace the emergency room at Bradley with the new facility, Brumback said. A request for proposals will be issued looking for ways to use empty space at the Bradley campus.

“They’re not abandoning Bradley but it’s going to change what they’re going to offer,” Brumback said.

Surgery services were moved from Southington to New Britain last year. Last month, Hartford HealthCare officials announced that labs at Plantsville Diagnostic Center, West Street Diagnostic Center and the Hospital of

Central Connecticut Specimen Collection Center would close. Radiology is also no longer available at the West Street Diagnostic Center.

Perez said he’s not clear on why there’s a need to move the emergency room.

“They have a functioning ER,” he said.

The latest news is disheartening to Perez, who said the hospital has been reduced in capacity by Hartford HealthCare.

“It was a well-functioning hospital two years ago. Now it’s just an ER and they’re trying to close it,” he said.

He was pessimistic when asked about the future for Bradley employees.

“What Bradley employees?” Perez said. “There’s not going to be any Bradley employees.”

Hospital officials couldn’t be reached for comment Monday.

She goes on to say: “I started to cling wholeheartedly to the idea that this new police report to DCF was the link I was waiting for, the piece I needed to back up my case to stop the abuse and stop visitation.”

For years she dealt with health issues caused by the stress and fear. She had high blood pressure, a thyroid issue, fatigue, headaches, and suffered from post traumatic stress disorder.

“Crawling Out,” by Casey Morley, of Southington, is about her life story and surviving domestic violence.

She later married her husband, who also came from a family with a history of domestic violence. They had a son and it wasn’t long before she found herself in the same situation she was in as a child.

In the chapter of her book titled “Just So Done” Morley recalls the abuse in the relationship but uses different names for her son and ex-husband.

homicides.

On an annual basis there are about 1.3 million victims of domestic abuse nationally, said Karen Jarmoc, chief executive officer of the Connecticut Coalition Against Domestic Violence. The coalition oversees 18 domestic violence programs across the state.

“We serve 60,000 victims a year,” Jarmoc said.

Whether it is through a hotline, shelter, court services, newsletters, public awareness campaigns or other programs the coalition tries to help those suffering from domestic violence, Jarmoc said.

A few years after Morley finished writing her book on 14 legal pads and had it transcribed onto the computer, Nancy Hooper came into the picture. Morley asked Hooper, who became a close friend, to help her edit the book before sending it to be published, a process that lasted nearly three years.

“We worked together every week, sometimes twice a week,” Hooper said. “Morley was still, she hadn’t come to grips with everything yet.

She was still involved in the releasing process. She read the text to me as I read along on the computer.”

“I was crying,” Morley said. “We sat side by side and I read to her every word and she would sit there and edit.

And that went on for three years. The pain was too intense. At times I could only get through five pages and be done.”

Hooper said, “We were both in tears more often than not.”

Because of the book, Morley hopes to spread awareness about domestic violence to those who are suffering, the perpetrators and those who don’t know about it.

She said people should “put their mommy in these shoes, put their daughter in them.”

Some people who seek help from the coalition are suffering from physical abuse, emotional abuse, financial abuse, or abuse through technology, Jarmoc said.

“Everyone’s circumstance is different,” Jarmoc said. “It means different things for difSee Book / Page 5

ferent people.”

Morley has already been involved in spreading the word by attending events put on by the coalition, in walks supporting domestic violence awareness, women’s groups, and more. At her book release event Sept. 16 at the North Ridge Club on Welch Road, Morley hopes to have Bikers Against Child Abuse there to help her raise awareness.

“You could see the growth, the blossoming of Morley,” Hooper said as Morley worked through the book.

“You could see her taking it and working her way through it emotionally and psychologically and saying this is in my past and I’m looking forward to my future now.”

and don’t disrupt any native plants. They also mate often, laying their eggs on the leaves of the trees. Once the eggs hatch, the larvae crawl through the stems and develop there, which also kills the weed, said Ellis. In the winter the insects hibernate underground until spring.

“It’s a great part of biological control,” Ellis said.

July 30, Cheah, Ellis and Young walked to their van to retrieve containers holding 1,000 weevils. Sheldon and Pat Corrow peaked inside the containers to see hundreds of tiny black bugs sticking to a paper towel inside one of the containers.

The insects reminded Sheldon Corrow of black pepper seeds. The bugs themselves are only about 2 millimeters in size, Cheah said.

laughing as the group came across the bunch.

“To the weevils they are,” Cheah said laughing.

Cheah, Ellis, and Young pushed a few large sticks in the ground and tied an orange ribbon on top where they were planning to release some of the weevils to document their progress through the summer.

Sheldon Corrow picked up one of the containers and tipped it upside down to release the weevils onto the leaves.

“It’s lunch time,” he said.

Pat Corrow was doing the same thing with a different batch of weevils.

“See, they come crawling out,” she said as she held the container on its side. “They already smell it.”

The group distributed the weevils on two patches of weeds on the property. To get the remainder of some of the more stubborn weevils out, they used paint brushes to push them onto the leaves.

As they were releasing the bugs, the group noticed some holes that were already

in some of the weed’s leaves.

Some weevils were spotted before the release as well.

The last release sites were in Woodbury and North Haven, more than 15 miles away from Southington.

“Many have moved from Woodbury,” said Ellis. “They’ll travel great distances.”

Pat and Sheldon Corrow laughed when the group said

they were a nursery for weevils. The couple was looking forward to what the weevils will be able to accomplish in the next few months.

“I’m glad we caught it in its early stages,” Sheldon Corrow said.

With the weather cooperating, a school bus parked at the Walmart entrance stood by ready to receive a long list of school supplies for the children of Southington who need a helping hand. The challenge: Fill the bus with school supplies by asking

shoppers to help.

With joy and alacrity, the Giving Back Girls had filled every seat on the bus with supplies by noon. The supplies would enable them to complete the filling of 400 backpacks donated to Southington Community Services. Backpacks are in all sizes, for students in K to 12, and in a variety of colors for boys and girls.

“The Giving Back Girls also raised $316.61 in monetary donations from passerby Walmart shoppers,” Tricia Gibney said.

“The girls serve yearround helping to feed our local hungry and provide other vital needs of families whose means are stretched to the limit,” Gibney explained.

“It’s just something I guess I have a passion for,” Erin Gibney said. “Not everyone gets the experience of helping others. It’s very rewarding.”

Among the many problems facing England’s King Richard III was the fact that his battlefield death in 1485 halted his brief two-year reign. To add insult to (fatal) injury, he was also the subject of a Shakespearean play in which he was referred to as a “hunchback’d toad.” Now, computed tomography (CT) scans of the king’s skeletal remains (discovered in 2012) reveal that the monarch did, indeed, have some serious back problems. In fact, the warrior king took to the battlefield in custom-shaped armor designed to fit over a spine that was not only curved by scoliosis, but was also twisted in a spiral. His badly contorted spine was artfully concealed with carefully draped clothing.

If you have a serious spinal curve, make sure to research your treatment options carefully. Our goal is to help you and your family achieve optimal health through natural chiropractic care. Our goal is to understand our patients and their needs. Whether you’re suffering from asthma, headaches, backaches, neck/arm/shoulder pain, low back/leg pain, numbness, and injury on the job, or whiplash, call us at 860.621.2225 to schedule an appointment for relief. We’re located at 200 Queen St., Southington.

Don’t live with pain! Give chiropractic a try. We offer affordable healthcare for the whole family. The answers you need. The care you deserve.

P.S. About 3 in every 100 people have scoliosis, which can worsen as a child grows, making early examination and detection a good reason to visit the chiropractor.

towns and is dedicated to supporting projects that make a difference in Berlin, New Britain, Plainville and Southington.

Fund members recently heard a presentation from Michelle Doucette Cunningham, executive director of the Connecticut After School Network. Cunningham said that new research has shown that consistent student participation and engagement in after-school programming can play an important role in narrowing the achievement gap, according to a statement

from CFGNB. The Catalyst Fund has been in existence for 11 years, and is formed of members who contribute $250 and meet three times per year before they decide with a vote on funding a member-chosen issue to benefit the local community.

Last year, the g roup awarded $10,000 to the Connecticut Chapter of the National Alliance on Mental Illness.

The money was awarded as the one-year-anniversary of the Sandy-Hook school shooting approached.

In 2012, the group supported House of Heroes,

unteers and boy scout troops would be enlisted to help businesses remove the graffiti if owners couldn’t afford to or if they didn’t have time.

The idea started a few weeks ago, she said. “If they can remove it, that’s terrific. Obviously that’s not always possible,� Miceli said. “We show them that we have a Plan B for them, another option.� The town is trying to take every avenue to eliminate vandalism. “We’re hoping to provide as many opportunities as we can for the community to help us identify and prosecute people who are committing vandalism (crimes),�

Brumback said.

tify a license plate. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think it eventually will help if people think thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s another set of eyes watching,â&#x20AC;? Dobratz said of the tip line and website. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think that people like the anonymous fact of it. They donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel pressure that theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re snitching on someone or something like that. They can report the crimes.â&#x20AC;?

In January, vandals struck the community ice rink on Mill Street twice in one week.

Protective panels were torn off the side and thrown into the rink while another time the liner was ripped. That same month, six 300-pound iron and steel benches were stolen from the linear trail in the areas of Mill Street, Atwater Street, Plantsville and near the Cheshire line. The cost of the stolen benches totaled more than $6,000.

For years the town has also been dealing with graffiti on buildings along the linear trail. Because of the amount of vandalism that month and with graffiti tags on buildings and businesses through the years, the town decided to host a vandalism forum in February to address the situation and create plans to deter vandals in the future. Cameras were set up in certain areas along the linear trail, graffiti was removed along the trail, patrols increased, and the ACT On It campaign was formed.

Town Councilor Dawn Miceli, who is spearheading the campaign, is also working on other initiatives to combat vandalism. She has also been working with Youth Services to create key chains and magnets with the tip line phone number to distribute at schools and town events.

Fliers were also created for business owners to promote the tip line and for police to hand out around town. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not that we have any more or less than any other community, but we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t accept that vandalism in our communityâ&#x20AC;Ś we take pride in the town of Southington and want to keep it as aesthetically pleasing as possible,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just not acceptable behavior ...The biggest thing is to create awareness

and that somebody cares.â&#x20AC;?

In June, the Town Council established a graffiti policy to help with the anti-vandalism effort. The policy asks businesses to remove graffiti within two days. DePaolo said while the policy means well itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not necessarily logical for many business owners. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think the town is trying to get building owners to remove it quickly, but I say â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;look, we need more time,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;?

DePaolo said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have to run our businesses and put staff on themâ&#x20AC;Ś itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s expensive.â&#x20AC;?

She said she hopes the town will look into a curfew for teenagers or a business neighborhood watch to keep an eye on neighbors and activity in town. To help business owners and landlords clear up graffiti on buildings, Miceli said sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also working with Brumback on a graffiti removal kit campaign. Vol-

“It’s a size, district-wise, that I’m used to and comfortable with,” Veilleux said.

Veilleux worked in the Southington school system for 27 years. Her career began after graduating from Western Connecticut State University with a degree in management information systems and taking a job as Southington’s “system coordinator” in 1987, she said.

“I couldn’t tell you the type of technology we had in 1987,” the 49-year-old Southington resident said, laughing. “Even when you compare the changes we have made in the last five years, the growth of technology has been exponential.”

Karen Veilleux, the information technology director for Southington schools, will take the same position in the Wallingford school system.

The Wallingford Board of Education voted July 28 to appoint Veilleux as the school system’s IT director, School Superintendent Salvatore Menzo.

“She’ll be a great fit,” Menzo said. “She’s really brought Southington to a whole different level in terms of technology. We’re looking forward to her transition.”

Veilleux fills a vacancy left

by Randall Backus, who left Wallingford to become the chief technology officer for Newington schools.

Her first day in Wallingford is Oct. 1, Menzo said, and her salary will be $106,085. Her salary in Southington for the 2014-15 school year was $98,750.

“It just seemed to be the right time to look for a change. My kids are getting a little older and it was easy to stay in town when my kids were young. It was convenient,” Veilleux said of her decision to apply to Wallingford. “They’re more independent now. The opportunity came up now and it’s definitely exciting. It looked like it would be a great fit.”

Veilleux added that the similarities between the Southington and Wallingford school systems attracted her

Mother and son deliver snacks, daily, to children in need Stacie Swanson and her son, Erik, are delivering snacks to children in need this summer. Mother and son pack snack bags filled with nutritional snacks, fruit, packages of crackers and cookies and bottled water provided

by Bread for Life for this special program for youngsters which started July 7. The two manage to reach as many as 25 each day.

“It makes you feel good to help others. The kids wave and run after us as soon as they see the ‘snack truck,’” said Stacie, a special needs paraprofessional at JFK Middle School. “Doing this is rewarding.”

Erik, a seventh grader at St. Thomas School, said: “Everyone gets hungry; it has been good to help other children this summer.”

In June, Erik and a group of St. Thomas School students visited Washington, D.C. to receive the Connecticut Junior School youth award from the National Energy Education Development Project.

“Bread for Life thanks Stacie and Erik for their commitment to this important summer snack program.

Theirs is the kind of dedication that ensures that no one may go hungry. We couldn’t possibly do all we do to feed those in need without this kind of support from our community,” Eldon Hafford, Bread for Life executive director, said.

“This cache eluded me as well...

‘I pitched this to my editor as a series about Geocaches in our towns, not a series about a reporter wandering around unable to find anything,’ I kept thinking.”

We opened it, and gleaming inside were a few pieces of paper. We logged our visits under our Geocaching names with the date. Filled with the rush of victory, we went back for another crack at the three I couldn’t find yesterday.

My fiancée had no more luck than I locating those, but we struck gold again down the street at “Does anybody really know what time it is,” a very cleverly hidden cache located at Volunteer

Park. The piece of candy inside this cache reminded us that another part of the treasure hunt is trading items for something of equal or greater value.

We removed nothing, but added a Russian ruble to the container, which was disguised with camouflage tape.

We finished with another cache at Maple Cemetery. My fiancée, an Indiana native and a lover of history, was awed by the 1800’s-era gravestones.

An excellent hint led us to this cache, which contained a small heart-shaped pendant and a folded up playing card.

We added a glass bead.

I’ll close with three pieces of advice for other first-timers: one, read the rules and etiquette thoroughly. Two: some caches are easier than others, and size is a big factor. A small or medium cache seems an easier first find than an extra small. Hiking trail caches seem easier than urban ones. Three: study a photo of the poison ivy plant before going, just in case.

where near the American Legion Post 68, next to Stop & Shop.

This cache was placed to commemorate the owner’s first experience with voting, which happened during a budget referendum in 2003.

He wrote that he was interviewed by a reporter on that fateful day.

The app pinpointed the cache within 30 feet, and I looked high and low for something the size of a film canister or spice jar for more than 20 minutes. I did find two active wasps’ nests, and after a couple of dive-bomb attempts at my face, I abandoned my search.

Every person has a right to a phobia, and mine is flying, stinging insects – so reluctantly I logged a “DNF” (did not find) on the Geocaching website for my first time out.

The next cache I sought after, “Thank You Veterans,” was placed within walking distance at Veteran’s Park and was placed to “honor all service members, past, present, and future,” according to the listing.

I picked up a few bits of trash. Keenly aware that their hobby involves leaving objects in the woods, Geocachers place a lot of emphasis on picking up litter, with the slogan “cache in, trash out.”

This cache eluded me as well, despite a frantic halfhour search, as did “What’s all that buzz about” at Sage Park.

“I pitched this to my editor as a series about Geocaches in our towns, not a series about a reporter wandering around unable to find anything,” I kept thinking.

The next day, my fiancée (code name: HisGirlFriday) accompanied me for another shot at finding a cache somewhere in Berlin. Thinking we might have a bit more luck looking for a traditional inthe-woods cache, we went looking for “Cross Country at Sage Park.” It all began to seem hopeless as we stomped about in the woods, but once we returned to the path, we finally spotted bits of red showing underneath black electrical tape wrapped around a spice jar.

work, going through camp and getting ready. He was all business. His goal was to be an All-American and nothing was going to stop him. He was extremely dedicated. You could see the focus.”

DIVISION I FUTURE Murillo is equally focused on wrestling for a Division I college.

His wrestling skills unquestionably make him a viable candidate and sitting 39th in his class proves that he attacks his studies with the same tenacity that he locks in a single-leg takedown. However, there are roadblocks.

LOCAL CLINIC OPENS!

Hartford Doctors Treat

Erectile Dysfunction

BY TOM SCHILLER Men’s Health

HARTFORD • A new medical clinic staffed by local physicians has opened in Hartford recently specializing in only one unique, niche area–men’s sexual performance. The Yale Clinic has an amazing offer - first 37 callers receive a free in-office medication dose.

Erectile dysfunction and premature ejaculation have long been a problem for millions of men in spite of the popularity of Viagra, Levitra and Cialis. Many men either are not helped by these medications or cannot take them due to medical conditions and adverse side effects.

According to The Yale Clinic of Connecticut’s Medical Director, Dr. M. Sheldon Polsky, Board Certified Urologist and author of ‘Seven Secrets Doctors and Drug Companies Won’t Tell You About Erectile Dysfunction,’ “Our doctors offer a proven treatment with over two hundred doses of custom blended prescription medication that can help virtually all men regardless of their age or medical history, including men as young as twenty-one to well into their nineties, with diabetes, heart conditions,

prostate cancer, and high blood pressure.

All drugs are FDA approved, no surgery is involved and patients will see a licensed Connecticut Physician” Referred to as “the gold standard,” by the International Journal of Impotence Research, “Our treatment allows our local doctors to adjust the dosage for a man’s performance to 45-minutes, an hour, even 90-minutes,” according to Dr. Polsky, “and patients see immediate results in the office. We offer a simple guarantee: “If you don’t respond to our medication on the first visit there’s no charge.”

With that guarantee, local patients have nothing to lose. The Yale Clinic books appointments far in advance but occasionally can accommodate someone quickly. Yale assures patients of utmost privacy and professionalism and has private waiting rooms and an all-male staff. Further information is available by calling (203) 290-2155.

to get the pound off. I was exhausted but I’m glad I did it.”

The weigh-in was the night before the competition began. After he made the grade, he ate a healthy meal and gained 12 pounds in 12 hours.

Knapp, whose brother Jude coaches South Windsor High, noticed a change in Murillo as he began preparation for the trip to Fargo. Murillo went to the Nationals after his sophomore year and finished second in the 88-pound Cadet freestyle to gain All-American status.

“My brother noticed that something had changed,” John Knapp said. “Zach came in with a purpose. He did his

ing is both mentally and physically demanding, but Murillo stayed the course.

With Knapp in his corner, Murillo left the USA Junior National Championships on July 26 from Fargo, N.D., with All-American credentials in two different tournaments.

Murillo, wrestling in the 100-pound class among competitors 16-to-18-years-old, had a prominent place on the podium in both the freestyle and Greco-Roman events. He placed second to Randon Miranda of Quartz Hill, Calif.

No other Connecticut wrestler has ever attained double All-American status, yet his initial thought was how close he came to being a national champion.

“I wanted to win a full title but I know what I accomplished is a good,” said Murillo, a senior who will captain coach Derek Dion’s Blue Knights for the second time this winter.

Murillo has traveled the nation pursuing USA competition since compiling a 39-8 scholastic mark, generally wrestling against competitors who significantly outweighed him.

DOMINANT UNTIL FINAL In the freestyle tournament, he scored technical-fall wins (by 10 points or more) in the first round and in the quarterfinals. His win in the second round was by fall in 1:04. He edged Mason Naifeh of Oklahoma, before losing by tech fall to Miranda, 14-3.

“He got caught in a trap arm,” Knapp said. “It was a 4-2 match, but once you get caught, it’s over.”

Knapp explained that Miranda locked Murillo’s arm against his body, enabling him to score readily.

In Greco-Roman style, which precludes any leg attacks, Murillo won by fall in the second round and semifinals and by tech fall in the quarters. Again he confronted Miranda, also a folk-style champion in USA circles, and lost by tech fall.

“We don’t train as much in Greco-Roman, just one day a week,” Knapp said. “For Zach to make the finals preparing just one day a week is really

he said. “For four months, I’ve eaten very clean. No candy, no soda. You make sure you get a lot of protein.

“For the Cadets, I had to cut down to 92 pounds, which wasn’t fun but I had to do it.”

All wrestlers undergo tests to determine how low they can safely go. Murillo found he could go as low as 90, but the regimen is painstaking.

“It was a struggle,” he said.

“A lot of running. It wasn’t fun, but I’m very proud of myself for doing it. When you cut weight like that, it’s all mental. Most people wouldn’t want to do it.

“I got to Ohio a pound over.

impressive. It’s not his style.

He’s a freestyle kid. I thought [Miranda] was better in Greco-Roman but Zach could beat him in freestyle.”

Murillo agreed that he prefers freestyle, but competing in Greco-Roman has made him a better wrestler, and there is little he won’t do to get better.

He went to the Las Vegas Western Junior Regionals in mid-April and took second in Greco-Roman and third in freestyle. In May, he took third at the FILA Cadet Nationals in Akron, Ohio.

“I have a lot of weight to gain,” he said. The lowest weight class in the college ranks is 125 pounds.

“I’ve always been around 100, but I definitely want to attain that. I want to go Division I, and getting to the finals in both freestyle and Greco-Roman will help me in getting recruited.”

The biggest barrier is one over which he has no control.

Opportunities, particularly at the Division I level and especially in Connecticut, are very slim. Sacred Heart University is the lone Division I program in the state.

John Knapp stressed just how much Murillo’s national accomplishments resonate with college coaches compared to state and regional competitions waged under scholastic administration.

For example, Murillo’s fifth-place finish in the New Englands hung on losses to Carlos Cardona, the Rhode Island state champion. Murillo competed as an undersized 106-pounder and couldn’t overcome Cardona’s size advantage. In the nationals, he wrestled in a 100-pound class that does not exist in high school competition.

“Zach wrestled against kids his weight. That was the big difference,” Knapp said.

“Fargo is number one. It’s the best competition in the country. State champions come here and go 0-2. … The first question college coaches ask kids is, ‘How did you do in Fargo?’ You don’t even have to place. Just be there, beat somebody or have a great match.”

A TIME TO REGROUP As Murillo grapples with his post-scholastic destiny, his next challenge will be leading the Blue Knights to league and state recognition en route to standing atop the podium at the Class LL meet, the Open and New Englands, but first … .

“I have a five-week break and I’m going to enjoy it,” he said. “I’ll work out in the gym, take a week off and start lifting. I’m going to just hang out with my friends, enjoy being outside and playing video games. I’m going to ease my mind off wrestling because

a sterling freshman season, placing in the LLs at 113.

Last year, with the football season stretching out until just six days before Christmas, the wrestling season was compromised. Bylykbashi has given up football to concentrate on wrestling and the team will rely less on football players.

“We’re going to have a much better season,” Murillo said. Given his fortitude, who’s to doubt him?

it does take a toll on your mind.”

He would like to lead Southington back to the prominence the program once enjoyed, but recognizes the challenge lies well beyond his own means.

The Knights loom powerful in the light weights, but Dion will be hard-pressed to come up with anywhere near the equal in the middle and upper weights. Along with Murillo, State Open placewinner and fellow captain Zach Bylykbashi was at 120 last year.
