Miller will never return to ministry.”

After hearing the charges, Miller returned to a rehabilitation facility to receive treatment. According to police records, his residence at the

Miller told police that he knew the boy was 13 and had offered to perform sex acts with the boy but he never had physical contact with him.

Miller pled not guilty to all of last year’s charges.

Last July, Miller was charged with five counts of risk of injury/impairing the morals of a minor, a class C felony and one count of criminal attempt to obscenity, a class B misdemeanor.

Former Assistant Pastor at St. Paul Church Michael Miller was arrested on three additional charges June 14— two counts of obscenity, possession of child pornography and ten counts of risk of injury to a minor— according to the Berlin Police Department.

“Some people say that high school will be the best four years of your life,” Rocco said. “But, to that I say, only if you let it.”

Will Cavedon, salutatorian for the class, encouraged everyone in the audience to live a balanced life, one that is modeled after Muhammad Ali’s quote “float like a butterfly, sting like a bee.”

“When the traits of a bee and a butterfly are combined, a perfect person is formed,” he said. “I challenge you, graduates of the class of

Valedictorian Holly Robillard finished the lineup of graduates who spoke to their fellow classmates. She related the challenges of producing the play Our Miss Brooks while in school.

According to Robillard, the play faced so many challenges that it should never have succeeded. But the cast and crew overcame the challenges and produced “three smooth performances” of Our Miss Brooks.

Francis Kennedy, principal for Berlin High School said the graduating class of 2012 as a whole is independent workers, excel in competitions and tests and is a model for the underclassmen in the Berlin school system.

“That’s our goal for all upcoming classes,” he said.

“They had a very admirable balance between their comfort with speaking to adults and the deference to them,” which would serve them moving into the future said Kennedy. “I’m going to miss them,” he added.

Last Sunday, June 17, the Berlin school system graduated 264 students at its high school graduation ceremony at Central Connecticut State University. School administrators said the class left the school with above average SAT and ACT scores and excelling in sport and music competitions.

The Berlin graduates sat

before the stage. In moments, they would walk across the stage and pass into another stage of their life. But before they walked, they heard from their class president, the valedictorian and the salutatorian.

“Up until this point in our lives, every decision has been calculated,” said Michael Rocco, class president of 2012.

To Rocco, commencement is the symbol that the class’s childhood is ending and the beginning of adulthood. He encouraged the graduates to

Edward Egazarian, vice chairman of the EDC, disagreed saying there is no real place in town for such freelance sports as skateboarding.

“What is wrong with kids gathering? Let’s not forget we were all kids,” he said. “Give the kids a place to go and give them all the written directions and signage to tell them where to go, and let them run the show.”

Christine Fairwood, treasurer for the EDC said Bristol, Cheshire and Wethersfield— all towns that have skateboard parks of their own—allocated funds for cleanup of vandalism and graffiti in both the skateboarding and picnic areas.

David Cyr, chairman for the commission. “I don’t believe a skateboard park will encourage proper town development.”

Cyr felt that this would be the town’s last chance to develop a “complete and proper” town green. A skate park would drain funds and prevent a proper development of the park, he said.

The EDC was concerned that the skate park would bring graffiti, vandalism and attract loafing non-skateboarders.

commission are not opposed to a skateboard park, the majority believes Veterans Memorial Park is not the place for such activity.

While commission member Steven McLarty was in favor of a skateboard park, he said a venue of that nature should be part of an all-inclusive area where similar activities take place and where families can spend an entire day.

“I would like to see something like this lumped in with other things so that it can become a family thing,” McLarty said, “I’d like to see that

kind of an atmosphere, rather than something dumped in somewhere because we had the funds.”

Len Zielinski, chairman of the Parks and Recreation Commission, who spoke at the meeting, was disappointed in the vote. Zielinski has pushed for a skateboard park since 1999.

“We’ve gone through a lot of different scenarios. We were going to have a temporary park one summer behind McGee School to demonstrate the traction and usage it would get. That never flew,” he said of the attempt made near-

Berlin Briefs line said the commercial coffee brewer will sit in the coat rack at the front of the library.

“We’re hoping that it will be popular,” she said.

While she does not want to compete with bookstores, the installation is part of a wider effort to make the library relevant in the community.

She said she hopes the machine will help people linger a little longer in the library. “(It will) certainly make the place smell nice,” Aveline said.

Graduation Continued from page 3 “Some say that when the curtain comes down, it’s all over,” she said. “But, here’s the reality: the curtain is going up and this is just the beginning.”

From Holly Robillard to Justin Zup, each graduate’s name was read as they walked across the stage to re-

ceive his or her diploma. Before going onstage, their faces were for the most part serious and also calm.

By the time students stepped from the stage, they were smiling. Alice Mitchell, the coordinator for the Upbeat program greeted them student as they walked off stage.

“Congratulations!” she told most, others received hugs. Then she pointed to a

line that formed to the left line, graduates shook hands along by the breeze.

Pictures were taken and made up of the Valedictorian and gave hugs. “Congrats,” plans made. From the crowd, and the Salutatorian and the they told each other.

In moments, they were snatches of conversations other top performers of the outside; nylon gowns of red were heard: “We’ll hang out school.

“Right down the line,” she and blue shimmered in the before you leave!” “She’s sun and the smell of celebra- over there!” “Congratulatold the graduates.

ATF searched two properties in Berlin

By Daniel Jackson The Berlin Citizen

The door which leads to 1625 Berlin Turnpike stands open. On June 5, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms raided this location and the Hawthorne Inn in what ATF spokesman Jim McNally called “enforcement operations.”

The federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms searched two properties in Berlin on June 5.

In addition to searching the Hawthorne Inn, the ATF searched a warehouse at 1625 Berlin Turnpike, the place where P K Cash and Carry operates.

Joseph Squillacote, the manager for the property, said the ATF agents confiscated computers, cigars and other tobacco products from the warehouse. He said P K Cash and Carry does not carry cigarettes.

He did not say what the ATF was searching for.

“They’re allegations at this time,” he said.

The federal government searched the Hawthorne Inn and two residential homes belonging to Syed Imran Bokhari. They took several cars from the residential properties, including a Rolls-Royce.

P K Cash and Carry shares building space with two other businesses: GDS Contracting Corp. and Contemporary Furniture Center.

Last Thursday, the bay door stood open to 1625 Berlin Turnpike and two men worked at the store helping a customer fill out a piece of paperwork.

The store smelled sweet, like a candy store with lol-

lipops, pixie sticks and other candies in jars filled the counter. A large stack of Red Bull cans, Arnold Palmer Arizona Sweet Tea and soda

sat in the middle of the room and the sounds of a Bollywood film came from a TV set in the middle of the store.

When asked about the ATF raid, employees said they were “not authorized to speak about it.”

Their employers, they said, were busy settling the case. The employees said their employers contact them every couple days and

they did not have their phone number.

The Connecticut records for P K Cash and Carry do not name a proprietor or partners for the business.

The company registered with the state last March.

Neighbors say it’s a quiet

business.

“They don’t really speak to us,” said a man who worked at neighboring business Drive Auto Group and who would only give his name as Craig.

An employee at Contemporary Furniture Center said “They don’t know anything about us and we don’t know anything about them,” and refused to comment further.

State records list Ramandeep Singh as an agent for P K Cash and Carry. He shares the same home address with the proprietors of the former business that used the space.

In May 2008, Liberty Discount registered with the state to operate at 1625 Berlin Turnpike. Records say a Sewa Singh operated as director and president of the company. Sukhdev Singh is listed as the secretary.

They share the same residential address, a West Hartford apartment, as Ramandeep Singh.

Today, Liberty Discount is dissolved.

He was also honored by the East Catholic High School who enrolled him in their Hall of Fame, a United Way Volunteer of the Year, and received the prestigious St. Joseph Medal from the Hartford Archdiocese.

He is survived by a brother and sister-in-law, Stanley and Lorraine Martinelli in Florida; two sisters and a brother-inlaw, Ida “Marti” Witt and her husband Frank of Rocky Hill and Gloria Careb of Waterbury, and several nieces, nephews, grandnieces, grandnephews, great-grandnieces and great-grandnephews.

Born in Berlin, daughter of the late Samuel and the late Amelia Hook, she was employed at New Britain General Hospital for 25 years before retiring in 1988. Living a full life, she raised a loving, devoted family and was a passionate crotchetier, creating cherished family heirlooms and donating many afghans to the American Cancer Society.

In addition to her husband of 70 years, she was predeceased by a daughter, Jane Maguda, and her brothers, John and Frank Hook.

For the past six years Nellie was a resident at the Jerome Home in New Britain, and her family would like to express its sincere gratitude for the compassionate care the staff provided.

Funeral services were held June 15, 2012 at Porter’s Funeral Home, Kensington, followed by a Funeral Liturgy at St. Paul Church, Kensington.

Burial was in Maple Cemetery, Berlin.

Commentary

Great quotes from graduation speeches for the ages Graduation season is upon us. On June 17, Berlin High School joined the many area high schools and colleges that have staged their graduation ceremonies.

If you talk to those who have to give a speech at one of these commencement events - the superintendent, valedictorian, salutatorian - they’ll tell you it’s quite a task to hone a short, compelling, memorable talk for the grads and their families. Many will tell you they try to weave at least a little humor into the wisdom they hope to impart.

When celebrities or other prominent personalities take the stage at graduation, you can expect the unexpected. In recent years, there have been a number of funny moments during college commencements. Here are a few quotes that surprised and entertained.

Russell Baker, Connecticut College, 1995 graduation. “All right, let’s plunge right ahead into the dull part. That’s the part where the commencement speaker tells the graduates to go forth into the world, then gives advice on what to do when they get out there. This is a ridiculous waste of time.

Delivered by mail to all of the homes and businesses in the two ZIP codes serving Berlin – 06037 and 06023. The Berlin Citizen is published by the Record-Journal Publishing Co. General Manager – Michael F. Killian

The graduates never take the advice, as I have learned from long experience. The best advice I can give anybody about going out into the world is this: Don’t do it. I have been out there. It is a mess.”

Conan O’Brien, Dartmouth College 2011 graduation (former President George H.W. Bush sat behind him on the stage.) “I must point out that behind me sits a highly admired president of the United States and decorated war hero. And I, a cable television talk show host, have been chosen to stand here and impart wisdom. I pray I never witness a more damning example of what is wrong with America today.”

The late Steve Jobs, Stanford University 2005 graduation, told the audience that “dropping out of college was the best thing I ever did. “You can’t connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future.

You have to trust in something — your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life.”

Ellen DeGeneres, Tulane University, 2009 graduation. (She’s a New Orleans native who did not go to college.)

“When I was your age, I really thought I knew who I was, but I had no idea. For example, when I was your age, I was dating men.” She joked, “So what I’m saying is, when you’re older, most of you will be gay.”

Aaron Sorkin, Syracuse University, 2008 graduation, gave graduates some tough love. “...make no mistake about it, you are dumb. You’re a group of incredibly well-educated dumb people. I was there.

We all were there. You’re barely functional. There are some screw-ups headed your way. I wish I could tell you that there was a trick to avoiding the screw-ups, but the screwups, they’re a-coming for y a . ” Stephen Colbert, Knox University, 2006 graduation. “The best career advice I can give you is to get your own TV show. It pays well, the hours are good, and you are famous. And eventually some very nice people will give you a doctorate in fine arts for doing jack squat.”

Hartford Magazine published its annual top Connecticut town article in its June edition with Berlin rated in fifth place in the medium-sized town category and 15th place in a lineup of 30 Connecticut towns.

Simsbury was ranked the top medium-sized town and the top town in Connecticut.

Berlin also fell behind Avon, Farmington and South Windsor in the medium-sized town category. But Berlin pulled out ahead of the fellow medium-sized towns of Rocky Hill, Windsor, Wethersfield, Bloomfield and Plainville.

“Hartford Magazine is finally realizing what we’ve known all these years,” Mayor Adam Salina said. The town has managed to balance open space, recreation, industry and the economy in a smart way, he said.

“This was really all about hitting the phones and call-

ing all the towns,” said Jane Dee, the publisher for Hartford Magazine and author of the article.

The magazine called every town clerk’s office and asked for basic information about the town such as population, mil rate and education statistics. After all the information was gathered, Paul Bugl, a retired associate professor at the University of Hartford, analyzed the data.

The magazine did not factor in crime and deemphasized real estate factors because the economy put a toll on many towns.

“It was something they did to refresh the data,” Dee said.

Dee said that the magazine doesn’t quite know how people use the article. It’s mostly a fun thing for people to go and look how their town ranks against other towns.

“Towns appreciate being a part of it,” she said.

Next year, Dee said the

magazine wants to start gathering the data earlier and look at a broader swath of data.

She hopes to examine the culture of the towns. For example, she is thinking of having Hartford Magazine look at how many restaurants per square mile and featuring the “up and coming” towns.

After productive spring practice, Redcoat gridders optimistic about 2012

By Nick Carroll The Berlin Citizen

To prepare for the upcoming season, high school football teams in Connecticut are given the choice of holding traditional spring practice, or starting workouts one week early in August.

State teams are just about evenly split on the matter.

This year, 70 teams went for the spring option, while 75 will convene a week early at summer’s end.

Berlin High School football coach John Capodice, for one, prefers getting his troops together in the spring.

“Starting earlier (in August); I don’t see any benefit,” said Capodice. “The games don’t start any sooner, it only adds additional practices. The kids like to play the games. I can’t tell you they always like additional practices.”

“My thought is we have plenty of times to get ready for the first game within the allotted time frame,” the ninth-year head man added. “The benefit of the spring is we have a chance to get on the field with

Berlin High School football players line up against each other during the annual Red-White game, held June 8 at Scalise Field. the kids, install any new offensive and defensive scheme, get out the kinks before the fall, get all the equipment out. And we finish with a fun game.”

Per tradition, the BHS football team caps spring practice with a Red-White game. This

year’s intra-squad battle, held June 8 at Scalise Field, went into overtime.

“Both teams were very balanced, and the kids did an outstanding job,” said Capodice.

The Red-White game allowed players to shake off

some rust, and fans to get a sneak peak of the 2012 Redcoats.

“There was a great crowd,” Capodice said. “We’re real fortunate; in our community people enjoy football, and they come out and support the kids.

Coats’ Notes

Track stars finish strong Berlin High School’s Catherine Voelpel capped a sensational junior season by finishing 37th in the 400 at the track and field nationals this past weekend in Greensboro, North Carolina.

This spring, Voelpel lowered her school record in the 400 by more than a second and earned All-New England status.

“As a coach, I could not be more proud of how hard Catherine worked this year and the accomplishments she attained,” said BHS coach Steve Soucy. “We set very high goals for the season at the end of last year, and the fact that she was able to reach all of them re-

ally shows how hard she worked.”

BHS’s Kate Piotrowicz wrapped up her scholastic career last week with a runner-up finish in the hammer throw competition. The senior’s throw of 117-feet, 8inches improved on her school record. Piotrowicz also owns the school record in discus.

BHS’s Catherine Voelpel and coach Steve Soucy are pictured at the New England track and field competition. From there, Voelpel advanced to nationals.

It was a great turnout for a spring football game.”

Fifty-five BHS players participated in spring practice.

Capodice is happy with the numbers and the effort he saw.

“It was an outstanding spring practice; the coaches, the kids did a wonderful job,” the veteran coach said. “We obviously have an experienced team coming back, and we were able to move along at a rapid pace because we have so much experience.”

Capodice likes his team’s chances in the fall.

“I think we have a very competitive team, and that’s what we expect here in Berlin,” he said.

“I can’t guarantee how many games we’re going to win, but I will guarantee they will work real hard and they will be well-coached.”

The Redcoats rolled up a record of 10-2 last season and along the way claimed their third straight Central Connecticut Conference Division III title and qualified for the CIAC Class M state playoffs, where they advanced to the semifinals.

Youth Sports Baseball Middle school McGee 7, RHAM 0: Andrew Charboneau was dominant on the mound, pitching six scoreless innings, and Jack Kane finished off RHAM, recording the final three outs.

The show began with African drums: Boom taka taka Ba-boom taka taka. Boom taka boom taka ba-boom taka taka. Then the voices come in.

On Sunday, June 10, the Destiny Children’s Choir, a children’s choir that traveled from the Kampala Children’s Centre in Uganda, performed at Wellspring Church. To the untrained, western eye, the children danced traditional African dances, sang in about 7 languages and shared a bit African song and dance to a western audience.

But according to the Rev. Arnold Muwonge, international director for the children’s center, everything had meaning in the show—the songs the children sang, the dances, even the details down to the designs on the costumes. When they perform in Uganda, the Ugandans understand the large story that the children tell when they perform their show.

“Africans are storytellers,” he said. Their stories turn into songs and their songs lead to dancing, he said.

“No African dance doesn’t have a meaning,” Mugwonge said.

As the drums play, the voices join in. Through various languages, lyrics tell the narrative of a child coming to the center.

“Where is my mom? Where is my dad?” sings a soloist.

“Where, is my mom? Where, is my dad?”

In the next song, the choir sings, “We need your prayer/ We need your love/We need your peace/ In Africa.”

At one point, the children introduced themselves and told the audience what they want to be when they are older. They range from the ages of 9-years-old to 13. They want to become teachers, pilots, accountants and one bank manager.

According to Mugwonge, the nation of Uganda faces an educational crisis. In the country of 35 million people, 50 percent of the population is under the age of 15. He said 2.5 million children are orphaned in the country.

Furthermore, war with the Lord’s Resistance Army for 30 years has made parents that have never been educated.

“Well, you know, issues are going to develop,” he said.

There have been issues of child abuse and neglect in that country, he said.

The Kampala Children’s

Center was started with the goal of raising 1,000 children that were orphaned or that came from families that could no longer support them. The center was opened in 2005.

Most people know about Uganda and the Lord’s Resistance Army through the YouTube video titled Kony 2012 produced by Invisible Children, a nonprofit attempting to stop Joseph Kony, the leader of the LRA. To date, the video has more than 90 million hits on YouTube. But Mugwonge has never seen the video. Why does he need to, he said, because he lived through the events. Kony was only a few miles from his home.

He likes what Invisible Children has been doing. “I think they are doing an amazing job.”

So far, the children are impressed with America. “Even on a warm day, it’s cold,” said Christine, a child from the center. But the people are nice and the food is plentiful.

Before coming to the center, “life was no good,” because she didn’t go to school and only ate food once a day.

But now, “I have everything that I need,” she said.
