New recycling program starts next week By Daniel Jackson The Berlin Citizen Recently, residents have called the town wondering why the large recycling bins were delivered to their homes. Jim Horbal, deputy director of the Public Works Department, has received 50 phone calls about the new system in the last week.

By Daniel Jackson

A trasch can and recycle bin wait for pickup. Service begins July 1.

While the town has tried to educate residents about the changes, the Tunxis Recycling Operating Committee, the company that handles the trash of Berlin and 13 other towns, sent out a flyer with incorrect information in the early part of the year. Horbal said TROC sent out a flyer about the recycling policy around April without the town’s knowledge. The information on the flier was incorrect but in later distributions of the flier the errors were corrected. The town converts to an automated single stream recycling on July 1. At that time, residents will be asked to place their papers, plastic and other recyclables into the bins, wheel them to the curb and let the automated truck do the rest. “Once we get through the summer, I think everything will work itself out,” Horbal said. To complicate matters, the July 4 holiday will push back the recycle pickup for some residents. Residents who usually get their recycling carted away on Wednesday will wheel the blue bins to the curb for the first time on Thursday. Thursday and Friday pick-up is also pushed a day forward.

Town seeks grant for Chotcowski property By Daniel Jackson The Berlin Citizen The Town Council authorized, at its June 19 meeting, Economic Development Director Jim Mahoney to apply for a state grant so the town could purchase the old Chotcowski farm on Chamberlain Highways to add to its open space. The 71 acres is the missing link between a continuous string of fields, forests and ponds that extend from Bicentennial Park to the Meriden town line that make up the town’s open space. The property is essentially the hill east of where Southington Road enters the Chamberlain Highway. It borders the old Girl Scout Camp and Bicentennial Park “This is the first of many steps and we’re going to see this on our agenda a number of times before we get to the final phase,” Mayor Adam Salina said.

Salina said the town has tried to acquire this property ever since he started working with the council. Last year, the town sent a letter to the Chotcowski family which told the family the town was interested in the property as open space. Sentimentally, adding the property to the town’s open space would make sense, said Salina, because the late Dr. Ludmil Chotcowski, who lived on the farm, was in favor of open space in town. “He was probably the biggest advocate for the town to acquire Bicentennial Park,” Salina said. Salina said the town has backup plans if the town doesn’t get the grant. Councilmember Dave Evans asked if the town will maintain the property. Town Manager Denise McNair replied, in most open space, the town blazes trails but it

The proper care and disposal of American flags By Daniel Jackson The Berlin Citizen

The flags rest on the table in the grove at the American Legion property. 1,500 to 2,000 of them lie on a table and in bags, according to Post Commander Vin Trigila. They are faded, some torn. They range from small flags that flew over a soldier’s grave in town to a large one with gold tassels and a brown stain. Now, at the end of their usable life, they have been handed over to the American Legion Post 68 for proper disposal by burning.

Trigila said most people don’t know how to properly dispose of a flag. “A lot of people don’t know what to do with them,” he said. The American Legion collects the flags year round and every Flag Day, June 14, they retire the American flags. The U.S. flag code states that a flag no longer usable must be disposed of in a dignified way, preferably by burning. It’s a short ceremony, said Trigila, so that’s why he gets Boy Scouts involved. It stretches the ceremony a bit longer, making it 15 minutes long instead of five.

The legion members wheel barrels, that will hold the fires, toward the grove and place five in a line in the parking lot. “Nice night for it,” said Sargent of Arms Miles Sperry. “It’s not raining; it’s not snowing, not humid” The scouts arrive. Some have flags of their own and they place them on the table, some a bunch of cloth, others folded into sharp squares. Trigila wants the scouts retrieve the flag flying in front of the American Le-

Lightning strikes Berlin home Lightning struck a house on Ellwood Road June 25, the fire marshal’s office confirmed. During a storm that passed through town early that morning, a bolt of lightning hit a tree above the chimney of 18 Ellwood Road, traveled down the chimney and into the ground. The fire marshal’s office said the resident saw embers fall out of the fireplace and smoke enter her house. The house belongs to Beth and Bob Cugno. Bob Cugno received a call from his wife and he rushed home to find the street filled with fire trucks. Fortunately, the damage was minor and the family was able to reenter their home, he said. The Associated Press reported the storm knocked out power to thousands of customers in Connecticut. At the Lake of Isles golf course in North Stonington, 15 maintenance workers were sent to the hospital after lightning struck the golf course. The workers are expected to be all right.

Readers’ Poll Here are the Berlin Citizen online poll results for last week: The question was: What’s your opinion about PZC’s decision to plan Veterans Park as Berlin’s town green? The answer is: I like the idea of a town green design. Sounds relaxing. 30% I wish the park was more active. The skateboard park was a good idea. 21% I don’t care ether way. I am not planning on using the park. 7% The park should be designed to memorialize the veterans in the best way possible. 42% This week’s poll question asks: What are you doing for the Fourth of July?

The Park and Recreation Commission and the Economic Development Commission disagree on the question of whether or not to install a skateboard park along Masarrio drive with the development of Veteran’s Park. While both like the idea of a skate park, they disagree where it should be because of the town’s Plan of Conservation and Development. Economic Development Commission Chairman David Cyr said that his role as a member of the EDC is to promote economic development by following the plan set forth by the POCD. Len Zielinski, chair of the Park and Rec commission, considers the document a static document, something the town uses to apply for grants. The commissions both gave their yea and nay recommendation to the Town Council but the council decided to delay the vote on the resolution of a skate park to its next meeting in order to study the matter. Cyr said that while he thinks a skate park is a good idea, the second phase of Veteran’s Park is not the place to install the park. Veteran’s park is the center of downtown, and the ideal place for the town green mentioned in the POCD, Cyr said. “This is the last chance we have to develop and complete a proper town green in our downtown area,” he said. For Cyr, his goal as the chair of the EDC is to follow the plan set forth by the POCD and to promote economic development. The

POCD describes a development of a town green along Farmington Avenue and Cyr said a skate park in the center of town will not attract business there.

fold. The flag must be folded lengthwise into quarters and then folded into a tight triangle. For these scouts, it’s the first time they have folded a flag this way. “Pull it tight,” suggests Clarke. Clarke’s son is a Navy SEAL. This act of flag disposal is a way to give back. “For me, to be doing this, I’m serving my son,” he said. Trigila stood at a podium and sounded a bell three times.

“Comrade Commander,” said Sperry to Trigila, “we wish to present a number of unserviceable flags of our country for inspection and disposal.” He proceeded to march up to the flagpole and directed

the scouts to dismantle the flag. They are careful not to let the flag touch the ground. After folding it, a scoutmas-

Horbal said the day delay policy is nothing new for recycling pickup. “That’s been since day one.” He said the vendor will collect recyclable materials from both the new wheeled carts and the old bins the first two weeks to give residents a grace period to figure out the new system.

Some residents have been calling Horbal asking general questions about the recycling system. For example, residents have called him to say the bins are too large. The town gave residents the opportunity to get a smaller container, but the deadline is past, Horbal said. “We gotta set some guidelines,” he said.

Ratchford Eye opens in town Ratchford Eye Center recently moved to 1166 Farmington Ave., across the street from Stop and Shop. Dr. Mary Ratchford said she originally established her practice in New Britain but “outgrew that space.” She still wanted to keep her patient base so she moved to Berlin. “It seemed like a nice, supportive community,” she said. Residents have seen the building go up along the Farmington Ave. location Ratchford said and now she wants to let people know “we’re open and ready to go.” She hopes to provide all eye care services under one building. Although a resident of West Hartford, she has connections to Berlin. Her husband is principal of McGee Middle School.

Skate Continued from page 2 areas.” Zielinski argues that this is as an ideal a place to install a skate park as the town will get. The park is centrally located and the area is patrolled by police officers. While Cyr argues the skate park would drain funds from the rest of the project, Zielinski said the skate park has low cost. While the town has a grant of $500,000 to build the second half of Veteran’s park, a 2003 estimate predicted the town would spend $118,500 to build a skate park. “How big do you need a green?” Zielinski said.

A wetland cuts the Veteran’s park in two halves and Zielinski said the traditional town green could be one half and then an active, skateboard park be the other. The existing park is good enough for a town green, he said. He said the POCD is more of a static document, something that the town refers to when it applies for grants. And it changes every decade or so, said Zielinski. The town, by state law, has to create a new one about every decade. Cyr said the town is currently creating a new POCD but he doesn’t know when it will be finished.

Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), also known as spastic colon, is a gastrointestinal disorder affecting over 25 million people in the United States. Approximately 10-15% of the adult population has IBS. While IBS is not a life threatening disorder, it does have the ability to significantly decrease the quality of one’s life.

What do we know about IBS? East Hartford, CT (860) 569-8800 IBS has no known cause. A psychological component such as anxiety or depression often accompanies the disorder. IBS affects people differently. Some individuals experience constipation whereas others experience diarrhea. Many suffer from alternating bouts of both. Risk factors and symptoms IBS is more common in females than males and is also more common under the age of 50. You should contact your primary care physician if any of the following symptoms have occurred for at least three days a month over the past three months: • Abdominal pain • Bloating • Fullness

• Loss of appetite • Unexplained weight loss • Urgency to move your bowels

• Mucus in the stool • Constipation or diarrhea

What tests are used to diagnose IBS? There are no laboratory, blood, or imaging tests to diagnose IBS. Rather, an IBS diagnosis is often confirmed by excluding or ruling out other disorders with similar symptoms such as celiac disease and lactose intolerance. Treatment Because the symptoms of IBS can range from mild to severe, the treatment approach recommended by your healthcare provider will vary from one individual to another and may include: • Relaxation and stress reduction • Cognitive behavioral therapy

A field sobriety checkpoint was conducted June 14 from 6 p.m. to midnight on the southbound side of the Berlin Turnpike, south of Deming Road. A total of 1,689 vehicles were directed through the checkpoint during a detail where vehicles were briefly detained and drivers interviewed by officers. Of those vehicles passing through the checkpoint, 31 motorists were flagged by the contact officers for DUI testing or other investigative interviews. The results are: one motorist was arrested for driving under the influence; one motorist was cited for operating without insurance; 18 motorists were cited for operating unregistered motor vehicles; one motorist was cited for an operating unregistered motor vehicle and operating without a license; two motorists were cited for violation of child seat requirements; two motorcyclists were cited for operating with excessive handlebar height; two motorcyclists were cited for operating without licenses; one motorcyclist was cited for learner’s permit violation by not wearing a helmet; one motorist was cited for watching a dashboard television monitor of his employees working; one motorist was cited for unsafe backing; one commercial business was cited for excessive exhaust from a truck; 14 motor vehicles were towed.

• Medication • Probiotics • Regular exercise

Keeping a journal to identify any specific foods or events that may trigger or worsen symptoms can often be helpful. IBS is a long-term disorder with symptoms that commonly change over time. Having a knowledgeable healthcare team to help you along the way is important for helping you feel better. Hartford HealthCare’s Primary Care Network is available to help you continue doing all the things you loved doing before IBS. Together we can manage this condition.

Obituaries C. Howard Johnson

Audrey E. Rumstay Audrey E. Rumstay, b e l o v e d m o t h e r, grandmother and friend, died peacefully in Va l d o s t a , Ga., on June 17 after suffering a stroke in December. She was born in Berlin, Conn., in 1925 and lived there her entire life. Many would say she was “feisty” with a great sense of humor. She was a strong woman who raised and educated her three children alone. She took great pride in her gardens, being an enthusiastic and knowledgeable gardener. She lived a quiet life enjoying time with friends, family and her constant companion “Bandit,” her Havanese dog. She was predeceased by her sister, Lillian Collins and her brother, Harry Collins. She leaves her daughter, Evelyn R. Waldron and Evelyn’s husband Hicks of Naples, Fla.; her daughter

Diana Rumstay of East Berlin, Conn., and a son, Dr. Kenneth Rumstay of Valdosta, Ga., along with his wife Sue Ellen and granddaughters Rosanne and Rachel. A service will be held at the Berlin Memorial Funeral Home, 96 Main Street, Kensington, on June 26 at 2:00 p.m. with burial following at the Maple Hill Cemetery in Berlin.

Oral A. Talbot Oral Arthur Talbot, loving husband of the late Ann T a l b o t , passed on peacefully in his Berlin, Conn., home on June 18, 2012 at the age of 88. Talbot had a deep love for God and his family and was always ready to share a hug, a helping hand, or his wonderful sense of humor with everyone he encountered. Born in New Britain, he was the son of Clara Pauquette and Alfred Joseph Talbot. He was raised in New Britain and lived in Berlin for the last 42 years. During WWII he served in the 104th Cavalry in Europe and on the Pacific coast. He earned a teaching degree at what is

now Central Connecticut State University and taught in the Berlin school system for 37 years. Talbot was a member of St. Paul Catholic Church and served as an ordained deacon for 28 years. He took great joy in assisting at masses and providing aid and communion to ailing and elderly parishioners. Talbot loved music and dance. He taught ballroom dancing and participated in local musical productions during the 1960’s. Throughout the years, he and Ann enjoyed traveling and camping throughout Canada and the United States. Talbot will be remembered with love and gratitude by his children and their spouses: Faith and Wolfgang Pautzsch of Booneville, N.Y.; Bud and Grace Talbot of Berlin, Conn.; Hope and Jim Francis of Folsom, Calif.; Mark and Marisa Talbot of Duluth, Ga.; and Christopher and Lillian Talbot of Berlin, Conn. “Grampa” will also be re-

membered with love by his 14 grandchildren and three great grandchildren. He also leaves behind his sister-inlaw Gladys Pietrowicz of Plainville and sisters Rita Marot of New Hampshire and Teresa LaPort of North Carolina as well as many beloved nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his brothers Norman, Alfred, and Raymond Talbot and his sister Shirley Talbot. Friends and family are invited to call on Friday evening, June 22 from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at St. Paul’s Church on 485 Alling Street, Kensington, Conn. A Mass of Christian Burial will be held at the church on Saturday, June 23, 2012 at 11:30 a.m. followed by the burial at Maple Cemetery, 1164 Worthington Ridge, Berlin. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Catholic Relief Services, P.O. Box 17090, Baltimore, MD 21203 or 1-877-435-7277. The Berlin Memorial Funeral Home is in charge of arrangements.

Stay safe in warm weather

As temperatures rise and days grow longer, the Central Connecticut Health District reminds residents to be mindful of safe practices during summer fun. Safety in and around water is key, as families begin to travel to pools and beaches to escape the heat. When swimming, an adult should always supervise children in or near water. Drowning can occur in minutes and in just a few inches of water. Whenever an infant or toddler is in or

near water an adult should always be within an arm’s length providing “touch” supervision. When boating, everyone should wear a U.S. Coast Guard approved life jacket. Consider taking a boating safety course, and remember, just as with drinking and driving, alcohol and boating or swimming do not mix. Always be ready for emergencies by learning CPR and first aid and keep a phone with you. Always be sure to wear a bicycle helmet every time you or a family member gets on a bike. Helmets can re-

duce risk of head injury by up to 85 percent in a bicycle crash.Wear appropriate multi-sport helmets and safety gear to prevent injuries while skateboarding, inline skating or riding a scooter. Supervise younger children and assure that they ride with supervision in safe areas away from traffic. Teach children to look left, right, and left again when crossing the street. Walk on

sidewalks whenever possible, and cross safely using traffic signals and crosswalks. If there are no sidewalks, always walk facing traffic as far to the left as possible. Be watchful for cars that are turning or backing up, especially in driveways and parking lots. Wear clothing with reflective materials, and carry a turned on flashlight if walking at dusk and dark.

Buckle up on every trip in the car, even if it’s just a short ride around town. During car rides, younger children should ride in size and age-appropriate car safety seats. Do not leave children or pets in a parked car for any amount of time, as interior temperatures can reach deadly levels in minutes even during moderate tem-

Team respect

To the editor: I am writing in regards to the American Legion baseball article Legion program at a crossroads (The Berlin Citizen, June 14). I was disappointed to read about the low turnout for such a successful and proud program. I played for Berlin Legion Manager Rob Manzo for three summers from 2001-03. We won the 2002 state championship, one of the most memorable summers in my 27 years. Manzo continued his success, guiding the 2009 team to the American Legion World Series. Manzo and his very dedicated assistants, Cory Carlson and Erik Marszalek, give their time and effort to

work with their players both on and off the field. Given the program’s success, the coaches are well-respected, and connected at the college ranks. Manzo is a hard-working man of dignity and respect, and that’s all he asks in return. I have coached at the high school level and have taken many of his approaches and philosophies with me. He stuck his neck out for each and every one of his players; from the best player to the second stringer, this guy will work endlessly, teaching the skills and sharing his insight for the game. I believe the young men of Berlin should consider the memories, friendships and successes they are passing up by not representing the strong tradition of baseball in this town. Berlin Legion coaches will be some of the best they ever play for, and will become good friends down the road. Tyler Catlin Berlin Legion alum

Get the facts before you start the fireworks Did you know that 6,300 injuries were treated in hospital emergency rooms in the U.S during a one month period due to fireworks? In fact, fireworks were involved in approximately 8,600 injuries treated in U.S hospital emergency rooms in 2010. As Independance Day approaches, it is extremely important to remember the possible risks when planning for summer fun. For these reasons, the Central Connecticut Health District reminds adults and children about the dangers of fireworks. Fourth of July celebrations mean barbeques, parades and picnics, and also fireworks displays. But remember, there are serious injuries and health hazards that come with fireworks. According to the National Council on Fireworks Safety, these accidents could be avoided by

taking basic safety steps, including the following: - Parents and caretakers should always watch teens closely if they are handling fireworks. - Parents should not allow young children to use or handle fireworks. - Fireworks should only be used outdoors. - Always have water ready if you are shooting fireworks. - Know your fireworks and how they ignite. Read the caution label before igniting. - Always remember that alcohol and fireworks do not mix. - Wear safety glasses whenever using fireworks. - Never relight a “dud” firework. Wait 20 minutes then soak it in a bucket of water. - Avoid using homemade fireworks or illegal explosives; they can kill you. - Report illegal explosives, like M-80s and quarter sticks, to the fire or police department. While most people think of being burned, handling fireworks can do a lot more damage to the eyes than originally thought. The eyes were the third most commonly injured part of the body, with an estimated 1,300 fireworksrelated eye injuries treated in the same one-month period of 2010. Contusions, lacerations and foreign bodies were the most common injuries to the eyes, according

to the NCFS. Large fireworks displays are not the only danger during the summer. Sparklers accounted for 1,200 injuries and of these injuries, more than half were to children age 4 and under. The following tips have been recommended specifically for sparkler use: - Always remain standing while using sparklers. - Never hold a child in your arms while using sparklers. - Never hold or light more than one sparkler at a time. - Never throw sparklers. - Sparkler wire and stick remain hot long after the flame has gone out, so be sure to drop sparklers in a bucket of water after usage. - Teach children not to wave sparklers or run while holding sparklers. According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, fireworks start thousands of fires each year from misuse rather than malfunction. It is also worth noting that not only do fireworks cause injury and death to people every year, but they are also responsible for millions of dollars of damage to property. Fireworks start thousands of fires each year. To maximize both safety and enjoyment this Fourth of July, plan to attend one of the local fireworks displays offered by the surrounding communities.

Britner receives Madison fellowship Jennifer L. Britner, a social studies teacher at Berlin High School, has been awarded a James Madison Fellowship by the James Madison Memorial Fellowship Foundation of Washington, D.C. in its 21st annual fellowship competition. A total of 58 fellowships were awarded in 2012. James Madison Fellowships support further study of American history by college graduates who aspire to become teachers of American history, American government, and social studies in the nation’s secondary schools, as well as by experienced secondary school teachers of the same subjects. Named in honor of the fourth president of the United States and acknowledged “Father of the Constitution and Bill of Rights,” the fellowship will fund up to $24,000 of Britner’s course of study toward a master’s degree. That program must include a concentration of courses on the history and principles of the United States Constitution. Britner was selected for a James Madison Fellowship in competition with applicants from each of the 50 states, the District of Columbia, the commonwealth of Puerto Rico, and the nation’s island and trust territories. The fellowship -- funded by income from a trust fund in the Treasury of the United States and from additional private gifts, corporate contributions, and foundation grants -- requires its recipient to teach American history or social studies in a secondary school for at least one year for each year of fellowship support. The award is intended to recognize promising and distinguished teachers, to strengthen their knowledge of the origins and development of American constitutional government, and thus to expose the nation’s secondary school students to accurate knowledge of the nation’s constitutional heritage. Founded by an act of Congress in 1986, the James Madison Memorial Fellowship Foundation is an independent agency of the executive branch of the federal government.

Crayons for Cancer Submitted by Nancy Cavaliere

The COMMUNITY KIDS from Griswold Elementary School raised over $1,100 for kids with cancer. The students sent $620 to the hematology/oncology unit of the Connecticut Children’s Medical Center and $500 was sent to the Jimmy Fund Clinic at the Dana Farber Cancer Institute. KIDS, a group of 66 students, raised these funds by selling “Crayons for Cancer”. Used crayons were melted into new multicolored crayons that were then packaged for sale. The crayons were then sold to Griswold school students. Front row, from left: Amanda Foertsch, Ashlynn Montanez, Tyler DeGroff.

Golfers, veterans team up in Cromwell By Jack Kane Special to The Citizen

It was bright, dry, scorching day – nothing out of the usual. We were cruising along in our unit’s Humvee when our world was turned upside down. I opened my eyes and, when my vision came into focus, I was in a hospital. An IED had detonated under our vehicle killing two members of our convoy and wounding myself and two others. I looked down and came to the horrific realization that my left leg was amputated at the knee. Questions raced through my mind. Will I ever walk again? Would I be able to run around with my kids? What will life be like? This situation is far too real for many of our brave men and women that defend our nation’s freedom. The Wounded Warrior Project (WWP) focuses their efforts

to aid the lives of the very men and women who protect us. During this recent Travelers Championship golf tournament at the TPC at River Highlands in Cromwell, in partnership with Birdies for the Brave and the PGA TOUR, the Wounded Warrior Project gave local veterans the chance to caddie for a professional golfer. On the 17th tee box at River Highlands a group of veterans were gathered. When each pro approached, they were paired with a veteran. Both the pros and the veterans were clearly appreciative of the opportunity. Masters champion Bubba Watson later said, “It’s good any time Birdies for the Brave and the military are involved in something like this. I feel bad having them carry our bags when they’re protecting us and letting us play golf for a living. It’s fun

Henry. to be around the military. They ensure us the freedom to do what we want to do. They’re fighting for us, even though they don’t know who we are. So it’s nice to see.” Many other pros and celebrities are supportive of the cause as well. I had the chance to catch up with Chris Berman, the legendary ESPN personality, and asked him how he felt about the WWP. “Awesome, just awesome,” he said. “Here we are on a hot day, some of us not feeling great. Then you think of them and it’s like ‘wow!’ It doesn’t only put things into

perspective, it gives you a new-found attitude. You feel much more appreciative of the things you have.” I also spoke with pro players J.J. Henry and J.B. Holmes, and both agreed that

the WWP is a wonderful program that they would like to see expand to other PGA events. One of the leading supporters of the WWP’s place on the PGA TOUR is Travelers’ Executive Vice President and Chief Administrative Officer Andy Bessette, who shared: “We do so much for the military this week with Operation Shower, the outpost here, and the military getting in for free. Having military veterans carry a bag on 17 was great. I think they felt good about it, the players felt good about it. Really, everyone felt good about it.” The Wounded Warrior Project continues to expand and hopes to have a place at every PGA TOUR event in the near future. For more information, or to donate to the WWP, visit www.woundedwarriorproject.org.

Young Post 68 club hanging tough By Nick Carroll The Berlin Citizen For a team without a lot of veterans to lean on, Post 68 has done just fine. Heading into this week, Berlin’s American Legion baseball entrant, riding a five-game win streak, was a respectable 3-3 in Zone 3 and 7-8 overall. Post 68 swept a three-game set with Guilford this past weekend. The locals erased a six-run deficit in Game 3. “We’re getting better,” said Berlin manager Rob Manzo. “The guys are battling, and we’re working. We’re just going to keep playing.” “We played a very, very difficult schedule early on,” Manzo pointed out, “which I’m hoping is paying off right now.” Post 68’s pitching staff has been solid as of late. Tim Norton, Will Matuszak and Hunter Tralli turned in good performances against Guilford. Berlin’s bats are working as well. Jordan

Zima has manufactured three game-winning hits thus far. Brendan Germano and Jeff Sylvester did their part at the plate against Guilford. Defensively, Manzo said “We’ve been pretty clean overall. But it’s a work in progress still. It’s an interesting mix of veterans and guys learning on the job.” Post 68’s numbers have been down the past couple of seasons, and Manzo has stated publicly that the future of the program is in doubt. For now, however, Berlin Legion is here, and hanging tough. “I’m honest with the guys. It’s like a big family; everyone knows what’s going on. They’re smart kids,” said Manzo. “A lot of them are grabbing this opportunity to get better and stay together. We have five freshmen on the team, and they’re getting better every day. It’s kind of exciting. Obviously, we want to win, now, but the future looks really bright.”

Thursday, June 28, 2012 — The Berlin Citizen Advertisement WORTHINGTON FIRE DISTRICT POTABLE WATER CONFIDENCE REPORT JANUARY 1, 2011 TO DECEMBER 31, 2011

WATER CONSERVATION: Water is our most valuable natural resource. It is essential for life as we know it. Although we in the Northeast have been blessed with, at least until now, what appears to be an unlimited supply of pure, safe drinking water, the preservation of this valuable resource is the responsibility of all. Following are just a few of the many steps that we can all take to prevent the waste and, perhaps loss, of this most valuable gift: 1. Detect and repair leaky faucets and toilets. 2. Install water-efficient showers and dish-and/or-clothes washers. 3. Limit the time spent in showering. 4. Water lawns and gardens only when needed, and then only early (or late) in the day to prevent water loss by evaporation during the hot period of the day. Add mulch when possible to prevent evaporation. 5. Wash automobiles only when absolutely necessary. 6. Do not leave water running when shampooing or brushing one’s teeth. If we all take these steps as well as any others that you may think of, we will be able to assure ourselves and future generations of a safe, potable drinking water supply for many years to come. The Worthington Fire District is proud to offer this report to its customers; and to report that all of the State and Federal requirements for Public Water have not only been met but, in most cases, exceeded every standard set by the State and Federal Agencies for quality and safety. If you have any questions concerning the Worthington Fire District and the water that it supplies, please contact Mr. Joe Pagliaruli at 860-205-7011. Mr. Pagliaruli will be most happy to answer any questions that you may have, or supply you with any additional information you may need.

The Worthington Fire District was established in 1920 by Special Act of the Connecticut Legislature, with an effective date at which to begin operation of July 1, 1922. Its sole objective is the transmission and distribution of potable water to approximately 1,175 water customers. This bulletin has been prepared to provide Worthington Fire District’s customers with the confidence that the water they drink meets and, in most cases, exceeds all State and Federal Drinking Water Requirements. In 1967, the Worthington Fire District entered into an agreement to purchase all of its water from the Berlin Water Control Commission. During the period covered by this report, January 1, 2011 to December 31, 2011, the Worthington Fire District sold approximately Eighty-Sixty Million, Fifty-Seven Thousand, Seven Hundred Eighty-One, (86,057,781) gallons of water to its residential, commercial, and industrial customers. The Berlin Water Control Commission produces 39% of its water needs and purchased 61% or less from the New Britain Water Department and the Cromwell Fire District. The Berlin Water Control Commission supply, excluding that provided by the New Britain Water Department and the Cromwell Fire District, comes from two (2) sources: Elton Rd: Production Well #1A; and Elton Rd: Production Well #2A. A third (3rd) well, Elton Rd: Production Well #2 (installed in 1973, a well with a depth of 102 feet and a capacity of 550 gallons per minute) was replaced by Well #2A in 1996. Elton Rd: Well #1A was installed in 1973 and rehabilitated in 1994 and 1997; Well #1 was replaced in 1998 and reclassified as Well #1A. Elton Rd: Well #2A (with a depth of 105 feet and a production of 350 gallons per minute, as stated above) was placed in service in 1996. Water from Wells #1A and #2A are blended together prior to entering the distribution system. As required by the Connecticut State Department of Health, the Berlin Water Control Commission has to have two tradesmen classified as Treatment Operators Class 1 and one tradesman classified as Class 2. The Water Control Commission has two tradesmen classified as Distribution Operators Class 1 and one tradesman classified as Class 2. Monthly testing of the water supplied by the Worthington Fire District has shown that the water has met or exceeded every standard set by the State and Federal Agencies for quality and safety. The following tables summarize the analytical results of water samples taken from various locations within the distribution system. Table 1 also lists all of the contaminants that were detected during the 2010 sampling season. Although all were well below Maximum Contaminant Levels (MCLs), the following lists their significance and possible reasons: Barium in a water supply can result from the discharge of drilling or metal refining wastes or, as is most likely in this case, from the erosion of natural deposits. Some people consuming water containing Barium in excess of the MCL could experience an increase in their blood pressure. Chlorides in potable water can result from sewage contamination or contaminants by industrial waste or, as in most cases, at low levels, from erosion of natural deposits. Fluorides can arise in a water supply from fertilizer, discharge from aluminum factories, or erosion of natural deposits. It is also added, as in this case here, to promote strong teeth. Some people who drink water containing Fluoride in excess of the MCL, over many years, could contract bone disease including pain and tenderness of the bones. Children may experience mottled teeth. Haloacetic Acids are formed as a result of chlorine, used in the disinfection process, reacting with natural occurring organic acids. Levels well above the MCL (Maximum Contaminant Level) may cause cancer. Lead can enter a water supply from corrosion of household plumbing or from the erosion of natural deposits. Children who drink water containing Lead in excess of the Action Level could experience delays in their physical and mental development. Children could show slight deficits in attention span and learning abilities. Adults who drink the water, over many years, could develop kidney problems or high blood pressure. Nitrate Nitrogen can enter a potable water as runoff from fertilizers or, as in most cases, from erosion of natural deposits. High concentrations, in excess of 10 parts per million (ppm) may cause a condition known as Methemoglobinemia when given to very young infants. It can also be transmitted to infants by nursing mothers who drink the water. Radioactivity emitted in the form of Alpha and Beta radiation results, most frequently from the erosion of natural deposits. • Beta/photon emitters: Certain minerals are radioactive and may emit forms of radiation known as photons and beta radiation. Some people who drink water containing beta and photon emitters in excess of the MCL, over many years, may have an increased risk of getting cancer. • Alpha emitters: Certain minerals are radioactive and may emit a form of radiation known as alpha radiation. Some people who drink water containing alpha emitters in excess of the MCL, over many years, may have an increased risk of getting cancer. Radon occurs naturally in rock formations. Breathing air-containing radon may cause lung cancer. Radon Guidelines for Drinking Water: Currently, the State of Connecticut recommends that actions be taken to reduce water radon levels of 5,000 pCi/L or higher. Before taking any corrective action to reduce radon levels, at least one additional measurement should be taken to confirm if radon in the water exceeds the 5,000 pCi/L guideline. EPA to Adopt Water Radon Standard: The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is currently considering a maximum concentration limit between 300 pCi/L and 1,000 pCi/L for public water. Additional information on the health risks from radon in water can be obtained from the State of Connecticut’s Radiation Control Program. Sodium can result from contamination by sewer water or industrial wastes but, in most cases, from erosion of natural deposits. When values exceed 28 ppm, drinkers must be notified so that individuals on sodium-restricted diets can use another source. Trihalomethanes are those compounds created by the chlorination of drinking water by the reaction of the chlorine or organic matter. A Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL) of 100 milligrams per liter (mg/L) has been established. Some people who drink water containing Trihalomethanes in excess of the MCL, over many years, may experience problems with their liver, kidneys or central nervous system, or may have an increased risk of getting cancer. Turbidity is a measure of the cloudiness of water. It is monitored because it is a good indicator of water quality. High turbidity levels can also hinder the effectiveness of disinfection. The sources of drinking water (both tap water and bottled water) include rivers, lakes, streams, ponds, reservoirs, springs and wells. As water travels over the surface of the land or through the ground, it dissolves naturally occurring minerals and, in some cases, radioactive material, and can pick up substances resulting from the presence of animals or from human activity. Contaminants that may be present in source water include: • Microbial contaminants, such as viruses and bacteria, which may come from sewage treatment plants, septic systems, agricultural livestock operations, and wildlife. • Inorganic contaminants, such as salts and metals, which can be naturally occurring or resulting from urban stormwater runoff, industrial or domestic wastewater discharges, oil and gas production, mining or farming. • Pesticides and herbicides, which may come from a variety of sources such as agriculture, urban stormwater runoff, and residential uses. • Organic chemical contaminants, including synthetic and volatile organic chemicals, which are by-products of industrial processes and petroleum production, and can also come from gas stations, urban stormwater runoff, and septic systems. • Radioactive contaminants, which can be naturally occurring or be the result of oil and gas production and mining activities. In order to ensure that tap water is safe to drink, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) prescribes regulations that limit the amount of certain contaminants in water provided by public water systems. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulations establishes limits for contaminants in bottled water that must provide the same protection for public health. Drinking water, including bottled water, may reasonably be expected to contain at least small amounts of some contaminants. The presence of contaminants does not necessarily indicate that water poses a health risk. More information about contaminants and potential health effects can be obtained by calling the Environmental Protection

Agency’s Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800-426-7491). However, some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than the general population. Immuno-compromised persons such as persons with cancer undergoing chemotherapy, persons who have undergone organ transplants, people with HIV/AIDS or other immune system disorders, some elderly, and infants can be particularly at risk from infections. These people should seek advice about drinking water from their health care providers. EPA/CDC guidelines on appropriate means to lessen the risk of infection by Cryptosporidium and other microbial contaminants are available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800-426-4791). Continuous monitoring is also being carried out to provide further protection for our drinkers. Please Note: The State of Connecticut Department of Public Health has performed an assessment of our drinking water sources. The completed assessment report is available for access on the Drinking Water Division’s web site address of: www.dph.state.ct.us/BRS/Water/DWD.btm

During high school, he was part of the wrestling team that made it to Berlin’s sports hall of fame. Pilewski said that he started wrestling because he wanted to do it with his friends.

the army. Through the many moves in his years in the military, the army transferred him to Fort Benning to become a drill sergeant. He enjoyed the task of drilling soldiers, a task he did for about two years and three months. It’s “basically taking a civilian and teaching them everything they know to be a soldier,” he said. After the army transferred him away from being a drill sergeant, Pilewski would still see the soldiers he trained while he was in Iraq and back in the states. Pilewski went on three tours of Iraq. While he was there, he was training Iraqi

police and special commandos. In 2009, he was a mortar platoon leader in the 7th Calvary regiment in Iraq. According to the American Forces Press Service, Pilewski was part of operation “Lion’s Roar,” live-fire training maneuvers for the newlytrained Iraqi forces. During that same tour, Pilewski created a “Fight House” on his base. They

erected a spare tent and then purchased mats, gloves and headgear from an Iraqi businessman. It was in that tent that Pilewski, then a level four Modern Army Combatives Trainer, trained several soldiers and certified them as level one instructors, according to a press release about the fight house. By 2008, Pilewski knew he wanted to start his own jujitsu studio one day because he

was thinking of retiring. He had the opportunity to study with the Gracie family in Hawaii. Relson Gracie was part of the Gracie family who was one of the key players in developing competition jujitsu. Pilewski said he is still in awe about training with the Gracie family. It has made his martial arts even better. “It’s enhanced everything,” he said.

Flag Continued from page 25 “A flag may be a flimsy bit of printed gauze, or a beautiful banner of finest silk,” read Trigila from the handbook. “It’s intrinsic value may be trifling or great; but its real value is beyond price, for it is a precious symbol for all that we and our comrades have worked for and lived for and died for—a free nation of free men and women, true to the faith of the past, devoted to the ideal and practice of justice, freedom and democracy. “Let these faded flags of our country be retired and destroyed with the respectful and honorable rites and their places be taken by bright new flags of the same size and kind, and let no grave our soldier, sailor or airman dead by un-honored and unmarked.” And with that, the scouts put the flag into the burning barrel. The flames climbed high as other flags follow. As the black smoke from the nylon flags float above the trees into the darkening sky, Clarke said that this night is good for the scouts. Scouting teaches citizenship and stresses community service. The night had taught both, he said.

The view of the land that the town wants to purchase from the Chamberlain Hwy. The parcel includes the turnoff and a portion of the hill.

Farm Continued from page 1 does not mow or maintain the property. The town would insure the property, though. Evans was concerned because in getting the grant, the town limits how they can use the property. The grants are structured so that it can only be used for open space and its “all or nothing.” The property could become overgrown and not maintained. “I think your hands are tied a little bit in that area,” he said. Mahoney said the town doesn’t have

to use any of the property as open space, but the town would need to come up with the money itself. He explained that is why the town is trying to purchase only two parcels that make up the back-end of the property with the grant because the town wants to preserve that land as open space. As the council passed the measure by a unanimous vote, Salina told Mahoney, “Jim, good luck getting that application out.” Mahoney had a week to apply for the grant Watershed Land Acquisition Grant before the state’s deadline passed.
