Lions donate gazebo Vets, ‘unsung heroes’ honored By Olivia L. Lawrence Associate Editor The Berlin Lions Club will donate a gazebo to the Berlin Veterans Memorial Park. The gift was announced and approved at the Nov. 10 Town Council meeting. “This is a wonderful outpouring of support from The Lions,” said Mayor Adam Salina. The veterans park (originally Town Center Park) has encountered a shortfall in funds and this donation will help with that gap. “The Berlin Lions stepped forward.” The town will provide the base of the gazebo and the Lions Club will purchase the gazebo and erect it on the site. The Lions will purchase a structure 30 feet in diameter instead of the originally planned for 24 feet. That will make the gazebo “big enough to have events there,” Salina said. That was one of the goals of the park;

to make it a destination for events. The gazebo will be a Jefferson model which is manufactured by the Absolutely Amish of New Holland, Pa. Lions President Glenn Glatz made a presentation in regards to the gift and explained why the Lions wanted to be part of the veterans’ park. He said the Lions name is an acronym that stands for “Liberty, Intelligence, Our Nations Safety.” On another matter, Councilor Robert McGee received approval to approach the Veterans Commission with his idea to fly a MIA/POW (missing in action; prisoner of war) flag beneath the American flag at Paper Goods Pond. McGee said those soldiers whose whereabouts remain unknown should have ongoing recognition, too. He said, for example, there are still 70,000 troops who served in World War II who remain missing.

Get connected to BPD Nixle program offers alerts By Olivia L. Lawrence Associate Editor Residents who really want to know what’s going on in their neighborhoods will want to take advantage of a new community information service offered by the Berlin Police Department. “In the short time we’ve had it, there’s been amazing feedback,” said Lt. Chris Ciuci, who was instrumental in getting the BPD hooked into the Nixle program. The free service —“the municipal wire” — was launched in late summer and local police are now trying to raise public

awareness about this resource. “It’s immediate notification,” of traffic, crime, emergencies or other safety-oriented news, Ciuci said of Nixle communications. Nixle uses the latest technology to deliver alerts and advisories to individual email or telephones. Just go to the website, www.nixle.com, and register with an email and/or cell phone number to where messages should be directed. Users can request a range of notification options. The service is relatively new; the nationwide roll-out was in 2008. From the Nixle website: See Nixle, page 14

By Olivia L. Lawrence Associate Editor In war there are no unwounded soldiers. - Jose Narosky Veterans Day 2009 was an emotional one for many reasons. The ongoing toll of the

wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and the tragedy at Fort Hood lay close to the surface; raw reminders of the many ways war destroys. Old soldiers and younger ones stood in solidarity, understanding as only they can, the true price — and

value — of military actions around the globe. Gathered, at the Civil War monument on Percival Avenue, the crowd seemed to collectively hold back tears as the main speaker praised those who served. 1st Sgt. Ben Grainger, a much decorated veteran, who served several tours in Iraq among other deployments, paid tribute to his brethren. He recounted what they’d lost in battle, some giving their lives, othSee Vets, page 13

The Berlin Police Department Detective Division and staff of the State of Connecticut, Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services (DMHAS), Tobacco Prevention and Enforcement Program (TPEP), conducted unannounced compliance inspections of local establishments that sell tobacco products on Nov. 9. The inspections were performed in an effort to determine compliance with state laws concerning the prohibition of sale of cigarettes and/or tobacco products to youth under the age of eighteen. Under the direction and supervision of DMHAS investigators, two underage youths, employed by the Tobacco Prevention and Enforcement Program, entered the establishments and attempted to purchase tobacco products. A total of 24 unannounced compliance inspections were conducted. Of this total, two (2) establishments were found to be in violation of the Connecticut General Statues, 53-344, Sale of Tobacco to Minors under eighteen. The offending clerks at these establishments were

issued infractions of $200 by the police for first time violators. Additionally, as of Oct. 1, 2008 it is now illegal for any person under the age of eighteen years old to possess/smoke/use any tobacco product in public. The Cigarette Dealer license holder at each establishment also faces additional administrative sanctions from the Department of Revenue Services, the state agency that issues the Cigarette Dealer License. The establishments found in violation are as follows: Top Shelf Liquors, 300 New Britain Rd., Berlin and Food Bag Quick Mart 525, 109 Berlin Turnpike, Berlin.

The fire department asked the council for cost sharing with the town as there are upcoming building maintenance projects that need to be taken care of, such as re-

placing the roof. Councilor Robert Dacey pointed out that the fire department has had the burden of maintaining its buildings over the years and that “this is money well-spent.” The highway department will purchase a vibratory compactor, otherwise known

The Town Council approved a number of expenditures at its Nov. 10 meeting. These included fencing for the police impound area, funds for East Berlin Fire Department building repairs, and a piece of heavy equipment for the highway department. Police Chief Paul Fitzgerald told the council that new fencing is needed for the department’s impound area located in the town yard at Town Farm Lane. The current chain-link fence is about 30 years old and falling down. A new fence “is necessary to maintain the integrity of the evidence,” Fitzgerald said. The impound area is used for large evidence such as vehicles, construction equipment and bicycles. It is no longer cost-effective to repair the old fence. Frankson Fencing Company, which holds the state contract, will replace the

fencing for $8,652. The police department will also install a $31,789 digital camera monitoring system to replace an obsolete video monitoring system. The funds will come primarily from a $30,000 grant the department received from the Recovery Act Connecticut Justice Assistance local-pass through grant. The system will monitor all points of entry to the police department as well as the cell block and parking areas. “It’s the first step to begin adding enhanced security around the building,”

the spirit is here

Council Continued from page 3 as a pavement roller, to replace an old model it bought in 1988. Fleet manager James Simons said the crew reviewed five models in a demonstration trial before deciding on the one that would best meet the departments’ needs.

“We made a more deliberate evaluation of the equipment,” he said. The Caterpillar compactor model CB24 was the clear leader. Besides the ability to do the job, this model also appeared to be safer and easier to maintain. In addition, it was the only one to meet federal emissions standards. The compactor will be purchased from H.O. Penn Machinery of Newington for about $33,000.

She was a Sergeant in the Women’s Air Corps (aka: WAC) during World War II. She was amongst the first female radio operators at Maxwell Field. Known as the “voice” she radioed instructions to our pilots flying overseas to such locations as South America, Europe and Africa. A fellow veteran recollected that her voice was “like quite backbone”. Excelling in communications, she also mastered Morse Code while serving in the military. She was a purchasing agent at Stanley Works for over 20 years, retiring in 1985. Surviving are two sons, Robert Frederick, Jr. of New Britain and Joseph Frederick and his wife Heidi of Kensington; two daughters, Kathleen Gilbert of Kensing-

ton and Susan Zaler and her husband Frank of Meriden; a brother, Benjamin Stankoski of Southington; a sister, Judith Anderson of New Britain; six grandchildren, Kristen Gilbert of New Britain, Jessica Zaler and Frank Zaler, Jr. of Meriden, Angela O’Hara of Michigan, Maggie and Kate Frederick of Kensington; 10 great-grandchildren; many nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by two brothers, Joseph and Edward Stankoski. The funeral is private. There are no calling hours. Memorial donations may be made to Hospice of Central CT, 205 West Main Street, New Britain, CT 06051. A special thanks to Hospice of Central CT for their care, compassion and understanding. The Carlson Funeral Home, New Britain is assisting the family with arrangements. Please share a memory or note of sympathy at www.carlsonfuneralhome.co m.

Berlin School superintendent Dr. Michael Cicchetti is on his way out after taking a job with another school district. While I have not agreed with all of his moves in his four years, and while I also think it’s fair to hold the town’s highest paid employees’ feet to the fire at times, he will have a lasting legacy in this town. When Dr. Cicchetti and the Board of Education approached the veterans in town three years ago to ask their opinion on having classes be in session on Veteran’s Day, he forged a connection that has built beautifully and hopefully will continue after he leaves. I’m not on the hiring committee but if I were the new person picked to lead this school district into the future would have to sign on the dotted line that the ceremonies that currently take place on Veterans Day in our schools not only continue, but grow. Dr. Cicchetti and Brad Parsons of the Berlin VFW as well as Tom Triglila of the local American Legion post came together with the Veterans’ Commission with the Mayer idea that would serve two purposes. One purpose of having the students in school on Veterans Day would be that it would be one less day the town would have to re-coup at the end of the year, and the school year could end earlier. The other purpose, and the primary purpose, was to keep students in school and give them meaningful instruction about veterans. Instead of a day off and kids sleeping late and hanging at home with their Play Station, Berlin chose to design programs to show the students the sacrifices our veterans made for us and how many brave men and women we have living among us in town. I took my daughter to the “Unsung Heroes” program put on at McGee Middle School the day after Veterans Day. Students had spent two full days learning about veterans in a multitude of ways. Parsons shared that Dr. Cicchetti never got to ask his father about his service to the country and it was something that bothered him. This is a project his father would have been proud of. Several Berlin High School students read diary passages from wars starting with the Revolutionary War up to Iraq and Afghanistan. Combined bands and choruses performed patriotic songs including the anthems of each branch of the military. When the chorus and bands performed these anthems, they asked the veterans in the crowd from each branch to stand and wave their small American flag. There were plenty of members of the Marines, Army and Navy but few from the Air Force and only one from the Coast Guard. Yet when the Coast Guard Hymn was played that one Coast Guard veteran stood, waved his flag and sang along. I sometimes wonder how brave you have to be to enlist in our military. How brave was my wife? How brave was my dad? He used to say, there was no choice, it’s what you did. Well I know one thing for sure. I am not, nor was I ever

Letters to The Editor

Obituaries

Thank you neighbors

Rell goes plastic

Joseph C. Leone

To the editor: I want to write and thank my neighbors on behalf of myself and my children. Our neighbors on Grapevine Lane, Winding Meadow, Kelly Ann Court, Lori Ann Lane, Peachtree Lane, Cynthia Drive and part of Four Rod Road came through in a big way on Saturday, Nov. 7. Since the Kensington Fire Department was one of 17 departments in the state collecting food for Foodshare on Saturday, my kids (Kaileen and Ryan) passed out flyers during the week, letting our neighbors know that if they left food donations on their doorstep, we would pick them up and deliver them to the fire department. My kids were very excited about this and I hoped there would be a good turnout. I was amazed at the amount of food we picked up (missed one house, sorry, but they dropped it off at my house and it made it to Foodshare). The back of my truck was overflowing with food! It was an awesome sight and I am very proud of my kids and thankful to my neighbors and the Kensington Fire Department. Don Langlois Berlin

To the editor: In the Nov. 5, 2009 issue of The Berlin Citizen, I noticed a picture of Governor Jodi Rell contributing groceries for a Nov. 7 food drive. What I found appalling about the photograph was that her groceries were in a plastic bag. How can a woman who preaches “Go Green” use a plastic bag that will sit in a landfill forever?! Shame on her. Gwen Winkler Berlin

Joseph C. Leone, 91, of Kensington died Nov. 14 2009 at the Salmon Brook Center with his loving family by his side. He was the son of the late Anthony and Elizabeth Leone and was the widow of the late Susan (Vitale) Leone. He was a member of St. Paul Church and was retired from the Fafnir Bearing Company where he was employed as a set-up man. He is survived by his three daughters, Sharon M. Simeone of Tolland, Pamela Drzata and her husband John of Glastonbury, Susan M. Fascione of East Hartford; a brother Louis Leone of Maine; six grandchildren; and six great-grandchildren. Services were held Nov. 18, 2009 at Berlin Memorial Funeral Home followed by a Mass of Christian Burial at St. Paul Church. Burial was at St. Mary’s Cemetery, New Britain.

Council congratulations To the editor: Through The Berlin Citizen, I thank all the candidates who were elected recently to lead our community these next two years. Although the Democratic winners, Mayor Adam P. Salina, William A. Rasmussen, Robert J. Dacy, Stephen M. Morelli and Rachel J. Rochette, have the people’s mandate to lead our town, it is my sincere hope that the Republican members of the council, Karen Maier-Drost and David K. Evans, will put aside their pre-election vitriolic rhetoric and instead use their talents and energy as council members to help solve the many and varied challenges facing Berlin. A true team effort by the entire council will assure that we successfully address the fiscal, school and development issues of our town. I wish all of them the best in carrying out their stewardship responsibilities. Stephen J. Anderson East Berlin

Helping out the Guard To the editor: As you may be aware, the Connecticut Army National Guard will be deploying nearly 700 service members in the month of November to mobilization training stations in Indiana and Wisconsin. Over the Christmas holiday, the mobilization stations will cease training and the service members will be permitted to travel home. However, it is not permissible to use federal or state money to provide transportation for these men and women to return home to be with their families. These deployments affect 132 of the 169 towns and cities in the state, and Berlin is no different. We have sons and daughters from Berlin deploying. Join the Berlin Lions club and make a donation to this worthy cause. The Connecticut National Guard Foundation, Inc., a nonprofit, 501 ( c ) (3) organization, is raising funds through Operation E.L.F. to bring these service members home so that they can be with family before their departure overseas. Donations can be sent to: Connecticut National Guard Foundation, Inc., 360 Broad Street, Box 53, Hartford, CT 06105-3795. Checks should be made payable to: “CTNGFI”. In the memo section, please write “Operation E.L.F.” Credit card donations are also accepted. Please contact the Operation ELF Hotline at (860) 524-4924 or the Family Program Office at 1-800-858-2677 for a credit card donation form.

is all set for him. I asked him how so and he said, “I’ll be home for Thanksgiving in Berlin and then deploy on Dec. 15.” I said deploy to where and he said “Iraq.” My wife is a Gulf War Air Force veteran. My father was a Navy veteran. My dad used to thoroughly embarrass his kids, all six of them, when he would make us sit with him at church because he sang so

loud. As “Anchors Aweigh” the Navy Hymn was played I started to choke up and tears filled my eyes. My daughter asked me what was wrong. I told here, “I wish Grandpa Mayer was here to sing this song and embarrass me.” She said, “Like he used to do in church?” I said “Exactly.” For that moment, I will forever be grateful to Dr. Michael Cicchetti.

Eleonor Salonia Eleonor “Losia” (Pranszke) Salonia, of Berlin, loving wife, m o t h e r, grandmother, sister, cousin and friend was called too early to our heavenly Father on Nov. 11, 2009.

She was predeceased by two infant children, Angelo and Sylvia Salonia. She was a woman with a heart of gold. Her love for life and her family was the cornerstone of her soul. She had an unrelenting strength and strong spirit, which helped her overcome many challenges in her life. Her loving touch and warm embrace will be greatly missed by all of those she held close, especially her grandchildren, who were the light of her life. Services were held Nov. 16 at Erickson-Hansen Funeral Home followed by a Mass of Catholic Burial at St. Paul Church,. Burial was at St. Mary’s Cemetery in New Britain.

Loomis qualifies as teaching assistant

Jan Loomis, LMT was recently qualified by the Upledger Institute as a teaching assistant for Somato Emotional Release. After assisting Cranial Sacral I in Hartford this fall, Loomis was also recommended as a study group leader for Cranial Sacral level I and II students. Loomis has been a teaching assistant for Upledger since 2003, and is excited about qualifying to assist the high-

er level course. “The best part” she says, “is being recommended to facilitate craniosacral therapy (CST) study groups.” The study groups give craniosacral students the ability to practice and learn from each other by sharing experiences and questions with like-minded practitioners. The positive effects of craniosacral therapy rely on the performance of the

body’s self corrective mechanisms. CST works through the craniosacral system to facilitate and normalize the environment in which the central nervous system functions. Loomis maintains that she has seen a wide range of sensory, motor and neurological problems improve under her hands while doing CST. One of the major factors that distinguish CST from cranial osteopathy is that the therapist focuses on the fluid and soft tissue of the system. CST practitioners are taught to palpate the subtle cranial rhythms to detect areas of restriction in the membranes of the system. The very light touch (equivalent to the weight of a nickel) helps the system to self correct.

Loomis loves the work because “the more we learn to work with the body’s own inherent wisdom, the less we force things to happen and

Called “Honoring the Unsung Heroes,” the evening was the second part of two days of programs in the public schools. Bradford Parsons, senior vice commander Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 10732, who works with the schools to organize Veterans Day programs, said he “believes the student programs have been successful and wants to see it continue for future generations.” Other guest speakers included Vincent Trigila, commander American Legion Post 68 and Charlie Colaresi, Veterans Commission Town of Berlin. The program featured a segment titled “The Unsung Heroes.” Students from Dr. William Silva’s history class at Berlin High School dressed in period costume and read selections from the diaries of soldiers from the American Revolution, the Civil War, World War I, World War II, the Korean Conflict, the Vietnam War and Iraq and Afghanistan wars. Musical selections were presented by the Berlin High School Chambers singers, McGee School Sound Express and choral students from Griswold, Hubbard and Willard elementary schools. The program concluded with the traditional musical selection tribute to the Armed Forces. Attending veterans rose to be acknowledged during the playing of the anthem from their branch of service. The program is scheduled to be broadcast on Friday, Nov. 20 and Saturday, Dec. 5 at 6:30 p.m. on Nutmeg TV. - Marsha Pomponio

Vets Continued from page 1 ers losing friends and brothers — and yet, “you never gave an inch of ground,” he said struggling to keep his composure. Some wept openly as taps was played and a veterans’ brigade gave a gun salute. From the Kensington Congregational Church, Reverend Olivia Hayes Robinson led prayers that included hope that the country could heal and begin to understand the tragedy of the recent shootings at Fort Hood. She also prayed that “one day violence will end.”

Students from the Berlin schools sang and recited tributes. A police color guard presented the colors. Mayor Adam Salina addressed the small crowd. “Veterans and their families know — war exacts a terrible price,” Salina said. Hank Peaseley, a World War II veteran, was at the ceremony. He described a connection he feels with a younger generation now serving in Afghanistan. Peasley was a member of the 10th Mountain Division, a light infantry division of the Army: the only division-sized element of the US Army to specialize in fighting under harsh terrain and weather conditions.

“We were a mountain climbing division and we surprised the Germans in Italy,” Peasley recalled. Activated in 1943, the 10th Mountain Division was the last army division to enter combat in World War II, fighting in the mountains of Italy in some of the roughest terrain. Peasley said former Senator Robert Dole served with him in that division. These days, the 10th Mountain Division has units dispatched to Afghanistan. Reactivated in 1985, the division has had numerous deployments throughout the 1990s. Since 2001, the division and its four combat brigades have seen numerous deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan.

Nixle Continued from page 1 “Nixle provides communities throughout the country with news and information that is both proximate and personally relevant. Our technology is critical in creating new communication paths that have never existed before. We’ve set out to enable highly granular, location-specific information to be immediately available to users, depending on their physical location at any given time. Nixle makes

this information instantly available over web, mobile and smart phone devices.” It is not necessary to register to take advantage of posted information. At www.nixle.com, type in the name of the town (use Kensington, Connecticut) and the program will go to the page with Berlin information. The number of messages transmitted will depend on the amount of activity in a municipality. However, users can adjust the messages to limit those received to those that are only alerts or only related to a specific neighborhood. Messages include: alerts for urgent, time-sensitive information such as an emergency, missing person, shooting or evacuation; advisories for need-to-know time sensitive information such as press releases, serious accidents, and warnings to business and citizens regarding crime trends. Traffic messages are posted and include information on road closures, construction and accident situations. Community information is available as well. These non urgent updates could include special events, safety tips, DUI checkpoints, Click It or Ticket information.

Recent postings on the Berlin page include items that range from car breakins at the Ragged Mountain entrance to a notice seeking the owner of a small brown dog found near CVS. “People like to get informed on things such as if there is neighborhood crime information,” Ciuci said. In the case of the Ragged Mountain problem, police organized a sting and an arrest was made. Ciuci said the system lends itself to reciprocal sharing of information. Through notifying residents of a problem in their area, they in turn will be more alert to suspicious activity and call police. Other recent Nixle messages from BPD include: Berlin Fair traffic information: a request for information on “suspicious activity that occurred Sept. 2 in the Bishop’s Curve area of town; a call for tips regarding an investigation into damage to a traffic pole located at the corner of Farmington Avenue and Main Street. Nixle’s welcome to new members states: “Nixle’s Community Information Service helps keep you and your family safe, informed, and connected to your community 24/7. With emer-

posters or misinformation as could happen with platforms such as Twitter. There is a vetting process to determine who can be designated as community information provider and this makes it highly unlikely that unauthorized sources would become part of the system. At the BPD, the police chief and other department heads and supervisors as well as the traffic officer are authorized to post alerts and advisories. “Nixle’s technology platform creates a database of community information that builds upon itself. As municipal and communityoriented groups push out their location-specific information directly to communities, the system also archives. This creates the foundation for databases of truly local news and information to virally develop for an infinite number of locales and communities, redefining the way news and information is disseminated and accessed.” Ciuci said Nixle is just on of the ways public safety communications are evolving. For example, the state is in the process of bringing “reverse 911” services to towns and cities throughout Connecticut. See Nixle, page 25

If you update your wardrobe and hairstyle, why not your eyeglasses? A pair of old frames can date a woman as much as an outdated hairstyle. Eyeglasses no longer serve solely functional roles. As a fashion accessory, eyeglasses say a lot about who you are. It is no secret that people in the public eye often make themselves over with a switch to new eyeglasses. Some wear eyeglasses to create a new look even if they don’t need eyeglasses to see better. In this respect, the switch to glasses has more to do with how people see them. Make sure that your prescription is updated along with your new frames. At VISUAL PERCEPTIONS EYECARE, we are forward-thinking and use the latest technological breakthroughs. Routine eye health exams are an important part of maintaining good overall health. Call us at 860-828-1900 to schedule a comprehensive eye health exam that includes a review of your general medical history and dilation of the pupils for examination of the retina, blood vessels, and optic nerve. Our practice is located at 369 New Britain Road, Kensington, next to the Animal Hospital of Berlin. P.S. Choose conservative eyeglass frames for work and casual frames for play.

Santa Express is coming to town By Olivia L. Lawrence Associate Editor

The Santa Express is coming to town and parents must sign up by Nov. 22 if they would like to have their children participate. The Kensington Fire-Rescue is sponsoring the third annual holiday delivery of toys to kids in Berlin. For a small donation, Santa, assisted by firefighters from the Kensington department, will deliver Christmas presents to your home via a fire truck. Parents can register their child online at www.Kensingtonfirerescue.org/Santa or by phone at (860) 828-7000 extension 6402. “The response has been very good,” said Chief Mark Lewandowski. Each year the number of people signing up for a visit from Santa has doubled. “We’re hoping it doubles this year, too. That would get us to our maxi-

mum.” “As long as you reside in Berlin, we will come out and bring a truck all decorated up with Santa bringing a present to your child,” Lewandowski said. Head Elf Tom Powers (also a fire department commissioner) said the department has the capacity to make 200 stops. “We already have 50 requests — so anyone who is interested should register as soon as possible. Space is limited.” The set-up is easy. Once registered, parents drop off a wrapped present or presents for their child or children at the Kensington Fire House from 6 – 9 p.m. Nov. 30 through Dec. 4. Deliveries will be made throughout the first 12 days of December. Notification of delivery dates and times will be made by tele-

Sign up by Nov. 22 to have the Santa Express bring the Jolly One to your house. The annual event is organized by the crew at Kensington Fire Rescue. Above, See Santa, next page Santa makes the rounds in 2008.

Santa Express creates a bit of unforgettable Christmas magic for youngsters and a whole lot of fun for everyone. “This really puts a smile on their faces,” Powers said. Last year about 300 kids took part. Some stops have 10 or 15 children involved and in some cases “entire neighborhoods are doing it.” “There have been times when there are maybe 10 families with 35 or 40 kids outside — it really is a lot of fun in big groups,” Powers said. The fire truck is done up in lights and carols peal from a speaker system. Several routes are set up and the truck will making rounds beginning Dec. 5 and continue most evenings through Dec. 12. Lewandowski heard about the idea a few years ago from another fire department and got the plan started here in Berlin. The Kensington Fire-Rescue Christmas delivery is likely the first in the area and the only one for miles around. “Not only do the kids have a great time — we have a great time too,” Lewandowski said.

Raising Berlin plans treelighting ceremony By Olivia L. Lawrence Associate Editor A big kick-off to the holiday season, complete with a treelighting ceremony, has been planned by Raising Berlin, a local civic organization for mothers with young children. The event takes place at 6:30 p.m. Nov. 29 at the VFW field , 152 Massirio Drive. Berlin High School and McGee Middle School choirs will be caroling. Lisa Toussaint, president of the new group, said for several years, her family had gone out of town for treelighting and cocoa festivities hosted by other places. And so the idea was born to get something similar started in Berlin. Raising Berlin has about 50 members and this is its first major townwide event.

“The town has been so wonderful,” Toussaint said of the support she’s received for the project. While there have been tree-lighting events in the past, Toussaint said this 2009 version will be a bit more extensive. The Kiwanis Club is sharing its space and also donating the hot cocoa. Its annual tree sale will be going on at the same time. The police department is closing off a portion of Masserio Drive to provide better pedestrian access. There will be extra parking available on Town Farm Lane, at the VFW and Arby’s has offered its parking lot for overflow, as well. At the Nov. 10 Town Council meeting, Mayor Adam Salina noted the event and the council offered its congratulations and support to Raising Berlin for its initiative in getting the event to-

gether. Toussaint said part of Raising Berlin’s mission is to give back to the community. The group is asking anyone who can to bring an unwrapped stocking stuffer and a non perishable food item for donation to the local food pantry and social services holiday gift drive. The McGee choir will start off the evening and Mayor Salina will help with the countdown to the tree lighting. The Kenisington Fire Department and Santa will be on hand and the high school choir will lead a carol sing. Capping off the night will be Travelin’ Prayer, an adult choir. Besides cocoa, cider and donuts will be available. For more information or to assist contact Toussaint at ltouss@comcast.net.

CitizenSports Max DeLorenzo, No. 44, is congratulated by teammate Doug Campbell Friday night at Scalise Field after setting Berlin High School’s all-time rushing record. Photo by Matt Leidemer

A night to remember By Nick Carroll Sports Editor Thanks to Max DeLorenzo, a record which appeared likely to stand for decades didn’t even make it to the 10-year mark. Friday night at Scalise Field, DeLorenzo surpassed Class of 2002 alum Maurice Humphrey’s seemingly safe Berlin High School rushing record of 2,939 yards. Needing 56 more yards to bypass Humphrey, DeLorenzo rolled up 76 yards on the ground that night, on just two carries, as the Redcoats blasted Fermi, 48-0. Reflecting on the rushing record, DeLorenzo, who had two touchdowns against Fermi, was humbled. “It’s definitely an honor,” the junior running back said. “I’d like to thank my teammates, coaches and family for their support.” DeLorenzo went on to praise Humphrey, who played for Penn State after his record-

setting career at BHS. “I didn’t see him play, but I heard a lot of good things. I heard he’s a very quick, speedy back,” DeLorenzo said. “It’s nice to be in the same sentence with him.” Humphrey, likewise, tipped his hat to DeLorenzo. “It feels good,” the former Berlin star said of seeing his rushing record fall. “The reason I say it feels good is because Berlin football has never gotten the respect it deserves. We put out great athletes such as myself, Adam Salina, Nate Tarsi, Jesse Carlson, and now DeLorenzo. It feels good to know that Berlin still has some of the top players in that state. It feels good to know that Cap [BHS coach John Capodice] is keeping everyone in line.” “To be honest, I have never seen DeLorenzo play a down of football,” See Record, page 24

Seniors plan to leave their mark By Nick Carroll Sports Editor A steady rain kept lots of fans away from Scalise Field Friday, but Senior Night went on as planned, as the Berlin High School football team’s senior members were honored before their final regular season game at Sage Park. Prior to the opening kickoff, the Redcoat seniors — Sean Roche, Brian Malloy, Zach Parsons, Dan Hackett, Kyle Connolly, Mike Campisi, Dylan Dabkowski, Steve Nelson, Nick DeLoia, Taylor Anderson, A.J. Marsiglia, Sean Sylvester, Taylor Tavarozzi, Dave Campagna, Doug Campbell and Jayden Davis — were recognized, along with family. See Seniors, page 24

Team has much to be proud about By Nick Carroll Sports Editor Three days after his previously undefeated team was knocked out of the CIAC Class L state tournament in the quarterfinal round, Berlin High School girls soccer coach Steve Yanosy was still feeling the sting. “The loss was disappointing,” he said Monday. “We played against a good team that happened to finish once more than we did.” Berlin, the tournament’s No. 1 seed, out-shot eighth seed Avon 17-4 Friday afternoon at Scalise Field. But as Yanosy pointed out, the visitors made their chances count. Trailing 1-0 past the midway point of the second half, Avon generated two goals within 10 minutes, and Berlin was unable to come up with the equalizer. Blair Ferry put the Lady Redcoats on the board late in the first half. Avon, which improved to 15-3-2, advanced to face fourth seed RHAM in the semifinals. Although Berlin had its sights set on a state championship this fall, Yanosy indicated that he considers the season a success. “We were 17-1 and won the CCC South,” the eighth-year head man said. “Unfortunately we are not measured on success in the regular season; we are measured on how well we do in the postseason.” Yanosy’s troops manufactured 69 goals during the regular season, while allowing just seven. The Lady Redcoats garnered a first-round bye in Class L, and went on to knock off 16th seed Fairfield Warde, 2-1, in Round 2 to earn a date with Avon. The quarterfinal round matchup marked the final scholastic game for nine Berlin players. The Lady Red-

coats wave goodbye to seniors Ferry, Kerry Scalora, Kim Rasmussen, Maggie Murphy, Nikki Kureczka, Sam Garfi, Lauren Lisitano, Kathleen Mullins and Allison Pucci. The majority of that gifted group had been together for some eight years and helped lead the Lady Redcoats to back-to-back conference titles. “This senior group was very special. They had a ton of talent and were a great group of girls to coach. We wish all of them continued success,” Yanosy said. “Several of them are continuing to play in college, and I can not wait to see them at the next level. As for the girls who are not playing in college, I hope that they will always remember playing and competing for their high school and their town. It is always a privilege to wear ‘Berlin’ on the front of their jerseys.”

said of her troops. “I am lucky to have such a motivated and dedicated team who will do whatever I ask of them, and more. I set the goals very high for this group of girls and they have gone above and beyond my expectations. I am very proud of each and every one of them.” The CIAC state meets were held this week. The Berlin High School volleyball team’s 2009 campaign came to an end last week with a 3-0 loss to Woodland in the second round of the CIAC Class M state tournament. Fifth seed Woodland swept the 12th seed Lady Redcoats 3-0 (25-20, 25-21, 2521). Berlin, which wrapped up the year with a mark of 15-7, earned a spot in Round 2 with a 3-1 victory over 21st seed New Fairfield. Krystie Luczynski led the Lady Redcoats this season with 342 kills, 187 digs and 31 blocks. Karissa Tirinzoni dished out a team-high 560 assists. Berlin served with 90.9 percent accuracy this fall. Serving over 90 percent were Victoria Fagan, Carina D’Amato, Karissa Tirinzoni, Amanda McLeod and Luczynski. — Nick Carroll

The Berlin High School Athletic Hall of Fame has unveiled its inaugural class. Entering the Hall of Fame will be, from the 1939-1960 era: Richard Patterson, Victor Baccaro, Phil Tinsley, Anthony Legnani, Henry Mora and Gary Waslewski. From the 1961-1980 era: Paul Baretta. And from the 19812000 era: Pam Wallace, Deb Larson, Robyn Trevethan, Adam Salina and Edward Hrubiec. Also being inducted into Baretta the Hall are coaches Don Bates and Bill Gibney and contributors Art Kevorkian Sr. and Roy Fabian. This week, The Citizen takes a look at the athletic career of Paul Baretta. Paul Baretta, a 1965 graduate, stood out in both basketball and baseball. He was a three-year varsity player in basketball and a two-year captain. He was named AllNorthwest Conference his junior and senior seasons and received the MVP coaches award both years. However, the baseball diamond is where Baretta truly excelled. A force at the plate, he was a three-year starting shortstop, a two-time captain, and a three-time all-conference performer. Baretta received the MVP coaches award two times, and earned the Richard E. Patterson award his senior year. Baretta continued his baseball career at Southern Connecticut State University and twice led the team in homeruns. During his last three years, he had a .380 batting average. Baretta was drafted by the New York Yankees in the 32nd round of the 1969 draft. He played in the minor leagues until 1973, rising to the Double-A level Baretta went on to teach physical education and health at Berlin High School. He coached the BHS baseball team from 1978 to 1988, winning the conference championship in 1980, 1983 and 1984 and the state title game in 1984. After ending his coaching career, Baretta became a Major League scouting supervisor for the New York Mets (1988-1998) and the Kansas City Royals (1998-2000). In his 12 years of scouting, he signed six players who went on to play in the majors. Baretta now works as a professional one-to-one baseball instructor.

Record Continued from page 21 Humphrey continued, “but I hear a lot about him and what I hear is always good. He seems like a hard-working kid, and to see him break my record is great.” Capodice was an assistant to Al Pelligrinelli when Humphrey played for the Redcoats. The current head

man indicated that Humphrey and DeLorenzo have the same competitive drive, but very different running styles. “Max is 20 pounds heavier. Maurice was lighter, quicker, a little bit more elusive-type runner,” Capodice explained, “where Max is a little bit bigger-, stronger-type kid.” “But both are very, very good players,” the sixth-year coach continued. “Maurice was a full-scholarship kid at

Continued from page 21 Berlin then went on to blast Fermi, 48-0, to improve to 8-1. Powered by their senior contingent, the Redcoats claimed the Central Connecticut Conference Division III championship this fall. “It’s a terrific group,” BHS coach John Capodice said of the senior class. “We have a great group of guys, and we knew that coming in. I believed they had the leadership to lead us to a conference championship. And they’ve done that. They’re really a terrific group of guys.” “They all want to win,” Capodice added. “They all want to put their mark on the program. They understand this in ’09, and this is their team.”

Penn State University, which is a very difficult thing to do. And time will tell where Max will end up.” “I’m happy for him,” Capodice said of Berlin’s new rushing leader. “It’s really a team award, and Max has a great supporting cast. It was nice to see him get that done.” DeLorenzo rushed for 1,323 yards as a sophomore and manufactured 17 touchdowns. So far this year he has churned out 1,463 yards and 21 TDs. If DeLorenzo stays healthy, he could realistically end his scholastic career with some 5,000 rushing yards under his belt. Several NCAA Division I programs already have expressed interest in the sturdy DeLorenzo, who stands 6-feet and weighs 200 pounds. The recuiting floodgates likely will open wide at the end of the season.

BHS defensive coordinator Josh Rosek is impressed with the selfless seniors, as well. “It’s all about the team for these guys, and it shows in the way they play. They’re unselfish,” he said. Several of the seniors are multi-year starters and twoway players. “The one thing that they all do is they play together as one,” Rosek said. “And I think that’s been the biggest difference this year. It’s really helped us out throughout the season.” Berlin’s seniors put on quite a show against outmatched Fermi (3-6). The senior-led defense swallowed up Fermi’s offense, and Tavarozzi and Campagna scored two touchdowns apiece. Sylvester had one TD. “Most important, the kids had fun and they were able to win their last game at Sage Park,” said Capodice. “Some of these kids have been playing here since they were seven-, eight-years-old, and it’s something they’ll always remember.” Currently, the Redcoats are third in the CIAC Class M playoff picture. The top four teams qualify for the postseason. Berlin wraps up its regular season slate against New Britain (4-5), Wednesday, Nov. 25 at Willowbrook Park. Game time is 7 p.m.

College Corner Berlin High School alumnus Jordan Berthiaume received his second scholarathlete award at a ceremony held recently at the University of Southern Maine. Berthiaume, a junior majoring in sports management, is the Southern Maine baseball team’s starting catcher. In order to receive the scholar-athlete award, a student must maintain a 3.0 cumulative average. Berthiaume’s GPA is 3.27. Berlin High School alumnus Kevin Moss, wrestling for Springfield College, went 3-2 with two pins recently at the Ithaca College Tournament. Moss, a Berthiaume freshman, wrestles at 141 pounds.

Governor Rell said that more than 40 municipalities in the Hartford region, and about a dozen in Fairfield County, are using federal security money to buy emergency calling systems with Reverse 911 capabilities. By next year, almost half of the state’s 169 municipalities should have the system. Ciuci said reverse 911 uses a phone database to place a call, with a recorded message, to residents in the event

of a serious emergency, such as an evacuation. “Many towns are using federal Homeland Security funds to buy warning systems that can call thousands of residents at a time to alert them to a problem,” Governor Rell said. “This is a valuable tool for local officials to use to notify residents of a pending disaster. It allows our local officials to communicate quickly with residents without having residents rely on the news media for their information. In an emergency situation, people want the facts and they want them in a time-
