Big investments give boost to Berlin projects Sidewalks part of $1 million in downtown improvements By Olivia L. Lawrence The Berlin Citizen Over the summer, residents may have noticed a significant amount of construction going on around the downtown commercial areas. That work is part of two projects the town has been pushing forward over the past several years and which are scheduled to be Citizen photo by Olivia L. Lawrence

Volunteer Park is being improved through the Streetscape project.

completed in mid-November. The Streetscape project will bring new sidewalks, lighting, signage, trees and other enhancements. Veterans Memorial Park (formerly Town Center Park next to Stop & Shop) will create a passive recreational site, community gathering spot and recognition for veterans in a central location. Among the highlights of these projects are: a twosided street clock to be installed at Volunteer Park; a large gazebo for community

events at Veterans Park; and a memorial to 9/11 victims to be installed in a small park in front of Kensington Fire Rescue. This last, to be built from steel recovered from the World Trade Towers. These two projects represent about a $1 million investment in the town’s central business district linked to Farmington Avenue. “This is the first phase of funding,” said Jim Mahoney, director of economic development. The Streetscape development is

part of the 2003 Plan of Conservation and Development and funding comes through grants from the Small Town Economic Assistance Program. The Veterans Park has a number of funding streams, including from the town. Jim Horbal, in the town’s engineering department, said the sidewalk work will close gaps and link sidewalks and add or improve crosswalks. American with Disabilities Act handicap

Percival Heights gets $700,000 makeover By Olivia L. Lawrence The Berlin Citizen

Percival Heights, a senior housing project located next to the Senior Center, on Colonial Drive, is in the midst of a $700,000 upgrade expected to be finished within a month. Berlin Housing Authority oversees the property and Chairman Joe Bajorski said

this is the first major overhaul, at the 30 unit facility, since it was built in the early 1980s. “It’s great, it’s going to be beautiful,” said a resident who asked that her name not be used. The woman has lived at Percival Heights for 25 years and was one of the first residents. She pointed out how the rehabilitation project had adapted her bath-

tub with a “cut” in the side that now lets her get in and out of the tub without stepping up and over it. A seat in the tub lets her sit while bathing. “I used to need a nurse to come in and help me, but now I can do it myself,” she said. That improvement is one of a myriad of upgrades un-

STEAP grant gives $250,000 for train station By Olivia L. Lawrence The Berlin Citizen

Citizen photo by Olivia L. Lawrence

The Berlin Train Station offers Amtrak service. The area will be upgraded.

Officials announced last week that Berlin will be among several area towns to be awarded grants for projects to fix local roads, repair sewer lines and improve area historic sites. The grants, from the Connecticut Small Town Economic Assistance Program (STEAP), provide financial assistance for projects that encourage economic development and preserve the character of the

state’s less-populated towns. The money will kick in for fiscal year 2011. The grant for Berlin is $250,000 to renovate the Berlin train station and parking area, an infusion of funds that local officials have been anticipating for a while. Located in the Kensington section of town, the Berlin Train Station is located on the New HavenSpringfield Amtrak line. The station was originally built in 1900. It is a proposed

stop on the planned New Haven-Hartford-Springfield commuter rail line. Mayor Adam Salina said, “I am extremely pleased that our state officials share our vision for this important landmark in our community. The train station and the surrounding area have been identified as an area for redevelopment and future economic growth. This grant will take us one step closer to

Drug take-back yields 85 pounds of pharmaceuticals By Olivia L. Lawrence The Berlin Citizen

Nearly 50 Berlin residents dropped off 85 pounds of pharmaceuticals that will not find their way into Connecticut waterways or the hands of young people engaged in “pharming” parties, according to Lt. James Gosselin of the Berlin Police Department. Berlin police participated in the first-ever nationwide Prescription Drug TakeBack Day Sept. 25 when residents were asked to dispose of potentially dangerous, expired, unwanted or unused prescription drugs by dropping them off at the Town Hall collection. Throughout New England tons of prescription drugs were collected, according to Steven W. Derr, Special Agent in Charge of the Drug

Enforcement Administration for New England. Derr announced last week that the DEA“Take-Back” initiative for New England included 401 return sites and 340 participating agencies. In Connecticut, there were 44 return sites which collected 5,050 pounds of unwanted pharmaceuticals. The total for the six New England states was 25,810 pounds. The initiative is designed to prevent increased pill abuse and theft. Gosselin said “pharming” parties occur when youth take prescription medications from their homes or homes of grandparents and bring them to friend’s homes to consume indiscriminately. “This is very reckless behavior,” Gosselin said. Individuals seldom know whether or not what the medicine is and risk an allergic

Drivers who chat or text on phone will pay higher fines

Drivers beware: Increased fines for those caught using a hand-held cell phone or texting behind the wheel on Connecticut roads and highways were put in place Oct. 1. State Sen. Donald DeFronzo, chair of the General Assembly’s Transportation Committee, reminds Connecticut motorists that new regulations approved during this year’s regular legislative session are now in effect. Those who break the state’s motor vehicle cell phone laws will pay a higher price if pulled over for a violation. The new law increas-

es the fines for violation of the state’s hands-free law to $100 for a first offense, $150 for a second offense and $200 for each subsequent offense. It also eliminates the requirement that a judge suspend the fine for a first-time offense who acquires a hands-free accessory before the fine is imposed. The law specifies that it is illegal for a driver to type, send or read text messages on a hand-held cell phone or mobile electronic device while operating a moving vehicle. Drivers who text while driving are subject to the

same fines as drivers who talk on a hand-held device. “Drivers who use handheld devices are four times as likely to get into automobile crashes serious enough to injure themselves as drivers who refrain from using a cell phone or other mobile device while operating a vehicle,” DeFronzo said. “Distracted driving is a serious problem not only in Connecticut but across the country.” DeFronzo said, “Five years ago, we passed a cell phone bill to help curb the distraction that mobile de-

vices create and prevent serious accidents. This week, the first changes to this law take effect, and these changes significantly strengthen the law and create incentives for local enforcement of the law to make it more effective.” Additionally, the law requires the state to remit 25 percent of the amount it receives from a cell phone or mobile electronic device to the municipality that issues the summons—offering local law enforcement, cities and towns greater incentive to fully enforce the law. The new law continues to exempt compliance for police officers, firefighters, ambulance and emergency drivers or members of the military in emergency situations or in situations in which

they are performing their official duties. Drivers who utilize a hands-free device are in compliance with the law. The law prohibiting school bus drivers and drivers under the age of 18 from using either hands-free or hand-held devices while driving was unchanged and remains in effect. “The law is intended to save lives and make our roads safer. The message is clear – two eyes on the road, two hands on the wheel,” said Gov. M. Jodi Rell. “There can be no more ‘grace period’ for a motorist caught using a hand-held phone in their car and if you get caught texting – you pay. There is nothing that urgent that is worth a life.” (From state officials’ press releases.)

Housing Continued from page 1 derway at the facility intended to increase the aesthetics, be more energy effective and provide better safety and comfort for residents. Bajorski said an era of

“deferred maintenance” had resulted in the place becoming rundown and lacking in modern amenities and systems. Over the past several years, the housing authority has been working to address those issues, he said. The overhaul began last spring, funded by a grant from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, administered through the state’s Small Cities Program under the Department of Economic and Community Development in partnership with the town and the housing authority. Marjorie Moore housing also received $700,000 grant. Aresco Construction Co. is the contractors, J Associates Architects the project’s architects and L. Wagner Associates oversees the administrative aspects of the project. Bajorski pointed out exterior and interior work. Outside, trees with root systems

that caused bumpy and broken sidewalks were removed. A new drainage system and new sidewalks were installed and the patio expanded, so “residents will take advantage of the outside,” Bajorski said. The parking lot will be redone and trees, appropriate for the site, will be planted. Numerous structural improvements are planned. For example, the fire alarm system, previously a local alarm, is now tied into and police “for a timelier response,” Bajorski said. In the attic, fire stops that had deteriorated over the years have been sealed and brought up to code. Ceiling fans were rerouted to exhaust to the outside and not into the attic as had previously been the case. In addition, bathrooms, hardware and other areas were brought into compliance with Americans with Disabilities Act standards.

Monday, after it was all over, Lions Fair President Peter Hansen recapped the highlights of the 62nd Berlin Fair weekend and declared the results “fantastic.” “Everything ran so smoothly,” Hansen said. The fair superintendents, in charge of specific areas of operation, did a great job, he said. Good weather had been in the forecast earlier in the week, but the remains of Tropical Storm Nicole hung on over Friday and brought some unexpected heavy rain and wind to the area. However, that bit of rotten weather did not spoil the fun. Hansen said Friday, although there was some rain, it was children’s day and they were admitted free, so “they came anyway. We had a good crowd.” Some areas of the parking lots got muddy, but other than that, there were no big problems from the storm or anything else. “There were very few complaints,” Hansen said. “People really enjoyed the fair.” Saturday’s attendance was excellent and Hansen said several records were broken — not in attendance numbers — but in the amount of food consumed. The Lions Memorial Food Booth had record receipts, by far, over previous years. Church and youth group booths also had some shortages as the crowd ate up the scene, literally. For instance, Boy Scout Troop 41 ran out of steamed cheeseburgers one afternoon. Country star Jake Owen drew a crowd of nearly 3,000 fans, Saturday afternoon. Moving the Saturday concert to afternoon, instead of having an evening performances as was the case for many years, has worked out well, Hansen said. It’s warmer and more pleasant all around for the crowd and the performer. Visitors “loved the World War II engine” from a vintage

event,” Hansen said. When naming a new cow, the name should link to names already in its lineage. As the new baby’s mother is named “Yankee Stadium”, the calf was named Jorge, after Yankee’s catcher Jorge Posada.

Open for business

Continued from page 1 our ultimate goal, which also includes plans for the new police department adjacent to the train station.” “Berlin continues to make excellent progress in developing Farmington Avenue and we want to continue to help the town grow responsibly,” Gov. M. Jodi Rell said. “In Berlin, and in town centers throughout Connecticut, we want to create an environment that gets people out of their cars. We want residents to feel safe while taking a bike ride or taking a stroll along Farmington Avenue. These changes improve the quality of life in town. I am proud to help the town invest in the train station.” To be eligible, a town must have a population of less than 30,000 residents, not be designated as a distressed municipality or a public investment community, and not have an urban center. Berlin, along with Southington, Rocky Hill, Farmington, Newington, and Burlington received the quarter-million dollar grants. STEAP grants are administered by the state Office of Policy and Management. “The Berlin Station is not only a commuter resource,” said state Sen. Donald De-

I opened this shop for many reasons, of course the obvious, such as the economy and the “green” recycling aspect of this type of business. Mainly though, my focus is to help women dress fashionably without it breaking their budgets.” Echo Consignment can be reached at (860) 828-0727.

The Town Clerk’s office announced that Secretary of the State Susan Bysiewicz will honor Berlin residents who are Korean War veterans at a ceremony scheduled for Wednesday, Oct. 27 at 3 p.m. at the Berlin High School Auditorium, 139 Patterson Way. The Secretary of the State’s office will send invitations to Berlin Korean War

Fronzo. “But also, it’s a opportunity for economic development in our area. For commuter rail to be effective, however, it must be accessible, convenient and attractive to potential riders, and the condition of the station and the adequacy of parking are essential elements in this plan is a part of that. These station improvements are much needed and welcome, as is this STEAP grant to help cover the cost of the renovations.” “The STEAP grant for the Berlin Station is good news because maintaining and renovating this facility and the parking area for commuters is important,” said Rep. Joe Aresimowicz. “We cannot forget our smaller communities when it comes to awarding state grants and the $250,000 helps our local officials pay for needed infrastructure and other improvements that are critical to small towns.” “This is exactly the type of project the state should be investing in if we want to get more cars off the road and more commuters using mass transit,” said Rep. Catherine Abercrombie. “I’m glad that Senator DeFronzo, Representative Aresimowicz and I were able to secure additional state funding to pay for the costs of this important project.”

CitizenOpinion Letters to the Editor

Support Abercrombie

To the editor: Over the last two years I have had the pleasure of collaborating with State Representative Catherine Abercrombie on autism legislation that will ensure that Connecticut’s children receive special services from credentialed providers, and insurance companies provide coverage for diagnostic and therapeutic services. While my causes were certainly fortunate to have Representative Abercrombie as a champion, I also observed firsthand how effectively and efficiently Rep. Abercrombie represents the broader interest of the state at large. Rep. Abercrombie has excellent relationships with other legislators on both sides of the isle. She has a well deserved reputation with her colleagues as an in-

telligent problem solver. When she tells you that she will do something, you can consider it done. Having observed her at work on the Insurance Committee, as well as on the floor of the House of Representatives, I found her inquiries to be thoughtful and insightful, and her comments right on target across a variety of issues impacting Connecticut’s citizens. She is a truly remarkable leader who has much to contribute to the greater good of our state. Our state legislators and senators often work far into the night on our behalf while they juggle their own family obligations and other job responsibilities, while the rest of us are home eating dinner and enjoying our families. Representative Abercrombie is a dedicated, effective and efficient leader and I for one am very grateful. Suzanne Letso Newtown

Speeders stopped To the editor: My neighbors and I have witnessed people speeding by Hudson Street day and night for several years. Being a father, this has always been of concern to me, especially when school is open and many children walk to all three schools in the area: Willard Elementary School, McGee Middle School and Berlin High School. Lately, I have noticed our Berlin police cracking down on speeders in the morning hours, especially Officer Canto. I would like to extend my sincerest gratitude and appreciation to our great police department for taking such action for the safety of our children. It is a good start so far, and we would also greatly appreciate a police presence durSee Letters, next page

Lions support our community with fair proceeds By Maura Gaffney Special to The Citizen “We think it’s a well kept secret, how much we’re able to do to help our community with proceeds from the Berlin Fair,” said Peter Hansen, first vice president of the Berlin Lions Club, the official who runs the Berlin Fair. “The fair is all about raising money to give back to our community,” Hansen said. “We don’t keep any of the money we raise at the fair. It’s good for people to know that as they pay admission, or buy food from the Lions’ booth, that their funds are being spent well and donated back into the community.” The Berlin Lions Club is part of a global service network, Lions Clubs International, which has 45,000 clubs located in over 200 countries. The Lions mission is to “help where help is needed…with unmatched integrity and energy”. The organization raises money for worthy causes and do “whatever is necessary” to help its local communities. The Lions are well-known for helping the blind and visually impaired. Hansen said, “In Berlin, we support many vision-related charities, but then we extend way beyond that. We’ve reached out to many other things that don’t have to do with vision, because we’ve been so blessed with an event like the Berlin Fair.” Camp Rising Sun is just one of the many organizations supported by the Lions. CRS is a camp for kids with cancer. Located on a beautiful 500-acre property in northern Litchfield County, the camp is “a place where kids with cancer have fun and smile.” The free weeklong camp is open to children, from around the state, who have faced a diagnosis of

cancer. At the camp, the children “can be exceptional for who they are —athletic, funny, artistic — not for being the kid with cancer,” said Tina Saunders of CRS. “The Berlin Lions’ financial support of Camp Rising Sun helps us to put smiles on the faces of some extraordinary kids. The Lions across the state are a large reason that Camp Rising Sun exists.” Manes & Motions Therapeutic Riding Center, located in Middletown, is another program that benefits from the proceeds of the fair. Manes & Motions uses horseback riding and other equine activities to help individuals with disabilities. It’s supported “significantly through charitable giving.” Without financial donations, the riding program would be unaffordable for many of its clients. Fidelco Guide Dog Foundation is one of the many vision-related organizations supported by the Lions. Located in Bloomfield, Fidelco provides “the highest quality German shepherd guide dogs” to the blind. In a video posted on Fidelco’s website, an Iraq War veteran who lost his sight to a roadside bomb, in 2007, praises Fidelco for giving him the “means and ability” to reach his goals. Technical Sergeant Matthew Slaydon referred to his new guide dog as a “magnificent tool” that will help him get where he needs to go. The Lions have supported Fidelco for over 25 years. “The continuous generosity and caring of our friends in the Berlin Lions Club is vital to achieving our goal of placing more guide dogs than ever before,” said Kris Fletcher of Fidelco. Guide dogs help blind men and women gain increased freedom and independence. See Proceeds, next page

Redesigned town website looks nice, is easy to use By Olivia L. Lawrence The Berlin Citizen

The town has a newly designed website and the set-up should make it easier for residents and other customers to access information. “The new design is more intuitive and cleaner and there is a process in place to keep it up to date,” said Sheila Wagner, administrative secretary to the town manager. The new site was launched Sept. 10. Go to www.town.berlin.ct.us/ to check it out. The old version often made it difficult to find information and some of that infor-

mation was outdated, Wagner said. Some aspects of the website are still in development, but a system is in place to ensure that “it continues to evolve,” she said. “We want to keep everything up to date and accurate,” Wagner said. A committee of eight has responsibility for updating content, with each committee member assigned as the link to certain town departments. With a smaller group of people tasked with updating the website, it will have a more consistent look than in the past, Wagner said. Popular searches on the town website include meet-

ing agendas and meeting minutes as well as information on parks and recreation classes. The new site has links to news and events, such as the Korean War Veterans Ceremony scheduled for Oct. 27. Click on any date on the calendar information to see what’s going on that day, plus extra information, if needed. For example, the Town Council listing includes the television broadcast schedule for council meetings. Also, the site will list information on bids for town jobs and employment opportunties when jobs are advertised externally.

Seasonal flu vaccination is recommended for everyone age 6 months and older. As usual, the flu vaccine protects people from the three strains of influenza that are likely to be circulating this flu season. For the 2010-2011 season, the vaccine is comprised of A/California (2009 H1N1), A/Perth (H3N2), and B/Brisbane. Flu vaccines provide annual protection and flu strains change regularly, so it is important to get a new flu shot every year. (Note: even if you received your H1N1 vaccination last year, you need to be immunized again this season.) The Central Connecticut Health District has scheduled flu vaccination clinics in Berlin, Newington, Rocky Hill, and Wethersfield as follows: Berlin: Community Center, 230 Kensington Road.

Sidewalks Continued from page 1

ramps are to be installed at intersections. The sidewalks being improved begin at Mill Street and Webster Square Road through to Farmington Avenue to New Britain Road continuing to the New Britain line. New sidewalks were installed on Massirio Drive from Arby’s to Porters Pass. This will “link and create a town center triangle for pedestrian access,” Horbal said. Mahoney said improvements will “make the sidewalk connections needed to give people better access to

commercial and other downtown areas.” Mahoney said foot traffic from Berlin High School, McGee Middle School, Worthington Ridge and surrounding neighborhoods will be able to better access downtown businesses safely. Horbal said, with the new Veterans Park, more pedestrians are expected to be using the area and sidewalks will improve the safety for pedestrians and motorists. Also, the Farmers Market at that location was another consideration in regards to the need to improve access. Before the sidewalk, it was of concern when pedestrians used Massirio Drive which meant walking in the shoulder or gutter, Horbal said.

The new sidewalks are standard construction approved by the state Department of Transportation. The project began in June and officials plan to have it completed by mid-November. Mahoney said the aesthetics of the area will also get a boost. At Volunteer Park, in addition to the installation of a two-sided clock, there will be pavers, seating and ornamental lighting in line with other lighting installed in recent construction such as at Stop & Shop, Arby’s and Walgreens. The Streetscape also includes planting trees where there are gaps in vegetation and the development of the pocket parks. Decorative street signs will be installed. A pocket park in front of Kensington Fire Rescue is “an initiative (of the fire company) that will add interest and meaning to the site,” Mahoney said. The park will have brick pavers, benches and a flagpole as well as a monument built with steel retrieved by the fire department from the World Trade Towers. At Veterans Park, there

will be a large veterans’ memorial and seating areas throughout. A gazebo, 30 feet in diameter, will sit at the edge of the pond and there will be a large field in front of it, for gatherings. The Lions donated the gazebo and the slab has been poured. Walking paths around the pond will be linked to downtown. A pedestrian bridge at the base of the pond will tie into the sidewalks. While the town doesn’t have a green, as such, this is an opportunity to create a focal point for downtown, Mahoney said. “There is no single solution,” to downtown development, he said. “Private and public investments changes the look of the town over time.” Berlin has seen many areas cleaned up and improved over the past few years. For example, the railroad underpass and related Farmington Avenue upgrades were “a dramatic change,” Mahoney said. Private investments have also changed the face of downtown, with Legion Square (the Stop & Shop plaza), Arby’s and Wal-

greens. A new infusion of funds is on the way to improve the area at the Berlin train station. “The improvement of the physical environment of commercial areas will help us to continue to attract and retain businesses,” Mahoney said.

Lady Redcoats playing for more than wins

Things clicking for girls soccer

By Nick Carroll The Berlin Citizen

By Nick Carroll The Berlin Citizen When the Berlin High School girls soccer team dropped its season-opener this fall, surely some wondered whether the mighty Lady Redcoats — winners of three conference titles in recent years — may have finally come back down to Earth. That doesn’t appear to be the case, however. With a 5-0 win over visiting Bulkeley last week, the Lady Redcoats improved to 5-2. All five victories came

Berlin High School’s Dana Hebert battles Plainville’s Lexxi Carroll during a recent game. At press time, Berlin owned a record of 5-2. by way of shutout. “Our defense has been very solid,” BHS coach Steve Yanosy said, pointing to the contributions of Anna Chmura, Dana Hebert, Jenna Brousseau,

Its high-powered offense gets a lot of attention, but the Berlin High School football team’s defense has been just as impressive this fall. Through three games, the Redcoats have allowed just 28 points. And just six of those points came with Berlin’s starting defensive unit on the field. The Redcoats’ defense has been anchored by Matt Padykula, Frank Murphy and Mason Powers. “The defense has been terrific through the first three weeks,” BHS coach John Capodice said. “The coaches do an outstanding job preparing the kids on a weekly basis, and we have some terrific kids playing defense for us. We will continue to focus on tackling and running to the ball. When the defense runs to the ball, good things happen.” Berlin’s starting defense held visiting Tolland to just 61 yards and zero points in the first half last week. The Redcoats prevailed that night, 49-22, to improve to 3-0 on the year. Brajan Cano netted two goals to help lead the Berlin High School boys soccer team to a 7-1 victory over Platt last week. Also scoring for the Redcoats were Kevin Stritch, Josh Jackson, Alex Bednarek, Jake Haynes and Mike Voelpel. Armand Cano dished out three assists for Berlin, which headed into this week with a

Jackie Carlson and Lisa Andreanna in the back. “It has been the key to our success.” As has its defense, See Soccer, page 20

In the midst of a stressful, grueling, action-packed season, it’s easy for players and coaches to lose sight of the fact that, in the big picture, what they’re doing is not all that important. The Berlin High School girls soccer team is well aware of that, and it shows — literally. Last year, the Lady Redcoats donned pink jerseys and made their final regular season home game a “Pink Night” to raise awareness, and funds, for breast cancer. This fall, once again on Senior Night, BHS players

will take the field for a cause. For their Oct. 26 game against visiting Platt, the Lady Redcoats will wear purple — the color associated with pancreatic cancer awareness. Donations will be collected at the gate, and literature provided by the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network and the American Cancer Society will be available. All proceeds from “Purple Night” will benefit PanCan. The survival rate for pancreatic cancer is just two percent, making it one of the deadliest cancers. “Our hope is to raise See Lady, page 21

‘Coats Notes record of 3-1-2. The Berlin High School girls swim team topped Bristol Eastern, 96-85, recently. Berlin’s Kate Piotrowicz won the 200 freestyle, Megan Pitkin bested the field in the 200 individual medley and the 500 freestyle, and Taylor Recck placed first in the 100 backstroke. The Lady Redcoats went on to defeat Windsor, 99-85, to improve to 4-0. Berlin’s Briana Cass won the 100- and 50freestyle events, clocking a best time in the 100. Also performing well against Windsor were Joanna Wojtun, who won the 100 breaststroke, and Shannon Jedrzejczyk, who bested the 200 individual medley field with a personal best time. The Lady Redcoats’ 200 medley and 200 freestyle relay teams prevailed as well. “We had girls out sick this meet, but I was happy to see the rest of the team step it up,” said BHS coach Amanda McCarthy, pointing out that Alexis Crespo, Kaitlyn Synnott and Olivia Kadja all notched best times against Windsor. Both the Berlin High School boys and girls cross country team earned a split with Maloney and Bristol Central last week. The locals easily took care of Maloney, but fell hard to Bristol Central.

Spikers hovering around .500 By Jim Bransfield Special to The Citizen

It has been an up and down campaign for the Berlin High School volleyball team, which headed into this week with a record of 3-4. “The kids are working to replace some very good players who graduated,” said BHS coach Bob Tarigo. “Although we aren’t young in terms of age and experience, we are young in terms of leadership.” “It’s a growing process,” said Tarigo. “We hope we’ll grow quickly.” In its first five matches this year, Berlin lost to Maloney, Bristol Eastern and Bristol Central, and picked up wins over Plainville and East Catholic. “We had a tough start, playing some good teams,” said Tarigo, who was six victories away from the 400th of his career at press time. Last week, Berlin lost to Platt and topped Bulkeley. Although his club is under .500, Tarigo said his players are improving and he is optimistic about the rest of the season. He named junior Rachel Zelek, his back-up setter to senior Karissa Tirinzoni, as a pleasant surprise. Tirinzoni has 96 assists on the year.

Berlin’s offense has turned in good work this fall. “We have possessed the ball well and been able to create some chances,” said Yanosy, who

Tarigo also said that senior captain Amanda McLeod, an outside hitter, is his most improved player. McLeod has 28 aces to her credit this season. He also likes what he has seen from junior Victoria Fagan (56 kills) and seniors Kaitlyn Cantafi and Elizabeth Long (29 blocks). Berlin’s defense is led by Fagan, and juniors Brittany Labbadia and Lia D’Amato (54 digs). “Those three have done a great job,” Tarigo said. The veteran coach also said his reserve players have been, and will continue to be, important. He named seniors Dawn Grabowki and Kristen Cavaliere and junior Kelly Walsh as the prime contributors off the bench. Tarigo said that this season, like most seasons with most teams, will be successful if some ‘ifs’ come true. “If we put it all together and if we continue to mature and maintain focus, then we will be successful,” he said. Berlin’s home match on Oct. 13 with Plainville will be a fund-raiser in the fight against leukemia. All proceeds from that event will be donated to that cause. The BHS volleyball team will hold a general fund-raiser, a pasta dinner, Oct. 18 at the high school, 6 to 7:30 p.m.

praised the efforts of midfielders Jess Lavoie and Shannon Murphy, and forwards Bianca Jacques, Emma Johnson and Amanda Maule. Johnson found the back of the net against Bulkeley, as did Brousseau, Sam Cooper,

Jess Lanza and Emily Stickel. Prior to blanking Bulkeley, Berlin shut down host Platt, 3-0, last week. Lavoie and Jacques scored against Platt, which helped the Lady Redcoats out by scoring on its own goalie.

There are issues that are much more important in the whole scheme of things.

On the girls’ side, Kaylene Sylvain and Brittany Sullivan continue to lead Berlin.

Fall leaf collection

The Berlin Public Works Department has scheduled curbside leaf collection as follows: Leaves will be picked up on your trash day during the weeks of Oct. 25 through 29; Nov. 1 through 5 and Nov. 15 through 19. Residents must put leaves in biodegradable brown paper bags and leave them at the curb on their regular trash day during the specified week. Trash barrels or other containers may also be used. (Containers will be emptied and returned to the curb.) Purchased leaf bags and alternate leaf containers must be clearly marked “leaves”. Plastic bags are not permitted. Keep all leaf bags and leaf containers away from the automated trash container. Grass clippings, yard waste and twigs cannot be mixed with leaves. Do not rake leaves into the gutter. This is a violation of the anti-litter ordinance, and subject to a fine. Residents who wish to dispose of leaves on their own may bring them to the dropoff area at 19 Town Farm Lane (off Massirio drive), Monday through Friday, between 7:15 a.m. and 3:15 p.m.; Saturdays through Oct. 16 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m and extended Saturday hours Oct. 23 through Nov. 27 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. All bags and containers must be emptied and removed from the dropoff area.

Berlin Briefs Big trip to the Big Apple

Junior Girl Scout Troop 66232 recently took a bite out of the Big Apple when they visited New York City. The trip was made possible with the proceeds from their cookie sales. The troop visited the American Girl store, Radio City Music Hall, Madame Tussaud’s Wax Museum and Top of the Rock. Pictured with a Rockette at Radio City Music Hall are Emma Arroyo, Emma Klepacki, Danielle Messina, Jillian Parmelee, Julia Ladd, Kate Rochette, Kelsei Zliczewski, Lindsay Walsh, McKenzie Cyr, Melanie Bosco, Nikki Baedor and Shanna Lennehan. trial projects for 2010 and beyond for a wide range of energy-saving programs we administer for the Energy Efficiency Fund,” said Ronald Araujo, manager of CL&P’s Conservation and Load Management division. “We continue to encourage all of our customers to realize the financial and environmental benefits from implementing energy-efficiency projects,” he added. The following are energy efficiency services and programs for residential customers: · Home Energy Solutions (HES): For a one-time fee of $75, an approved specialist will come to your home and perform an energy assessment and make on-the-spot improvements including caulking and weather stripping, replace incandescent bulbs with compact florescent light bulbs; provide and install water conservation devices and more. The aver-

age value of the HES service is $700. · Weatherization Residential Assistance Partnership (WRAP): For customers who have limited incomes, an approved specialist will come to your home to check and seal drafty windows and doors; evaluate your walls and attic to determine if insulation is needed; determine if you qualify for energy-efficient appliance replacements, provide and install energy-efficient lighting and water conservation devices and more. · ENERGY STAR® Retail Products: This program promotes the purchase of energy-efficient lighting products and home appliances through retail incentives and markdowns. Look for the Energy Efficiency Fund logo in home improvement stores, groceries and pharmacies for instant discounts on compact fluorescent light bulbs or order on-line from the

SmartLiving Catalog at www.cl-p.com. Incentive programs and services are also available for commercial, industrial and municipal customers: · New Construction/Major Renovation/New or Replacement Equipment · Existing Buildings/Retrofit Projects · Operation & Maintenance Services · Small Business Energy Advantage · Express Rebates for Lighting, Motors and HVAC systems Connecticut’s energy efficiency efforts are consistently ranked among the best in the nation. In fact, a recent report by The U.S. Center for American Progress named Connecticut as the top state for energy efficiency policies and services. In August, the Home Energy Solutions Program was named a recipient of a 2010 Gold Innovation Prize from the Connecticut Quality Improvement Award Partnership, Inc. for having successfully expanded its residential energy efficiency program to include households heated by fuel oil and propane. To learn how to benefit from these award-winning programs and services supported by the Energy Efficiency Fund in partnership with CL&P, please call 1-877WISE-USE or visit www.clp.com.

New bill helps vets in nursing homes A bill introduced by Rep. Joseph Aresimowicz (DBerlin/Southington), will prohibit nursing home facilities from restricting veterans from accessing prescription drug benefits offered through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. The bill became a new state law Oct. 1. HB 5351 “An Act Concerning Prescription Drug Benefits For Veterans In Nursing Home Facilities” was passed by the General Assembly and signed into law by Governor M. Jodi Rell earlier this year.”

“There are several news laws that go into effect on October 1st,” Aresimowicz said, “But none more important to our veterans and their families than this law.” Aresimowicz explained the measure directs the state’s nursing home facilities to access prescription drugs for veterans offered by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. “Both the veterans who are patients in the nursing homes benefit from lower drug costs if they are private payers and the state saves on veterans who may be Medicaid patients,” Aresimowicz saidd. “The savings take on more significance as we continue to battle a challenging economy.”

A limited number of the 225th commemorative postcards are available at the East Berlin Post Office, Main Street, East Berlin. The post office is also holding the commemorative Yankee Peddler cancellation stamp and mail brought there can be hand stamped with it upon request until the end of October.
