By Ashley Kus Citizen staff
A $16 million police station project will not be moving forward in Berlin. The Town Council voted down the proposal with a 4-2 vote Tuesday night, July 26. Mayor Mark Kaczynski cited the state’s financial woes and town budget uncertainty as the primary reasons for not going ahead with the project.

A public hearing on the project was held last month with support voiced by the police department and police commission, as well as by a few residents. Chief Paul Fitzgerald explained to the council during the hearing that the current facility was cramped and unsafe.

“I know we sent stuff back to you, and we appreciate you guys having another meeting and going over that,” said Mayor Mark Kaczynski at a Tuesday night, July 26 meeting. One big change was on the regulatory boards in which Planning and Zoning was kept the same instead of the
original proposal to split the board into two separate functions. In regards to the town budget, the commission added that if the new Board of Finance fails to recommend a budget to the council, then the budget for the current fiscal year will be submitted.

Farmington Ave. This was the second time that the station was proposed. In 2014, a $21 million station project was rejected at referendum by 62 percent of voters. Several councilors July 26 voiced concerns with the new $16 million proposal. “I agree, definitely, that improvements need to be made, unfortunately our state finances are such a mess and we don’t know where our budget is going,” said Councilor Charles Paonessa. “I just can’t in good conscience put our taxpayers at risk for a large debt like this.” The council discussed town priorities and how a new station would factor into the current debt projections. Councilor Dave Evans, also budget chair, said that the town debt was continuing to

The other two finalists, McGee Middle School students Gianna Uba and Jake Camacho, also wrote about ideas that aimed at helping Berlin seniors. Southington’s first place winner was Megan Wadman, who will be entering seventh grade at Kennedy Middle School.

Their essays also included ideas for different initiatives to help keep the town clean. “I wanted to engage the students and help them understand that one idea can really make a difference. Since the top winners in each town had similar ideas, my hope is that they can work together to put their ideas into action,” Aresimowicz said. “We have already begun discussions with the Senior Center in Berlin and the town of Southington to implement these ideas.” Aresimowicz invited the top entry winners and their families to the State Capitol in Hartford for lunch and a private tour of the Capitol. The students were able to speak with Aresimowicz about their ideas and were presented with official citations from the General Assembly.

Applications for free, reduced-price school meals available Berlin Public Schools announced its policy for determining eligibility of children who may receive free or reduced-price meals served under the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program, or free milk under the Special Milk Program. Local school officials have adopted the United States Department of Agriculture’s Income Eligibility Guidelines for family size and income criteria for determining eligibility. The guidelines are to be used from July 1, 2016 through June 30, 2017. Monthly income is calculated by dividing the annual income on 12; twice monthly income is computed by dividing annual income by 24; income received every two
weeks is calculated by dividing annual income by 26; and weekly income is computed by dividing annual income by 52. Children from families whose income is at or below the levels are eligible for free or reduced-price meals or free milk will find applications available at www. berlinschools.org, school principal offices and the Board of Education office. Applications should be returned to the school. Only one application is required per household and an application for free or reduced price benefits cannot be approved unless it contains complete eligibility information as indicated on the application. Information provided on the application is confidential and will be

For up to 30 operating days into the new school year, eligibility from the previous year will continue within the same local educational agency. When the carry-over period ends, unless the household is notified that their children are directly certified or the household submits an application that is approved, the children must pay full price for school meals and the school will not send a reminder or notice of expired eligibility. No application is required if the district directly certifies a child based on a household member receiving assistance from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program or the Temporary Family Assistance program. All children in these households are
eligible for free meal benefits. Households receiving assistance under the SNAP/ TFA program will be notified of their eligibility and their children will be provided free benefits unless the household notifies the determining official that it chooses to decline benefits. If any children were not listed on the eligibility notice, the household should contact the district or school to have free meal benefits extended to those children. Households receiving SNAP or TFA benefits for their children should only submit an application if they are not notified of their eligibility by Sept. 12. If a child is not directly certified, the household should complete the application form. Children in households participating in WIC may be eligible for free or reduced-price meals and should complete an application. When known to the district/ school, households will be notified of any child’s eligibility for free meals if the individual child is Other Source Categorically Eligible because the child is categorized as either homeless; runaway as defined by law and determined by the district’s or school’s homeless liaison; or enrolled in an eligible Head Start or pre-kindergarten class as defined by law. Households with children who are categorically eligible under Other Source Categorically Eligible
Programs must complete an application. For a child not listed on the eligibility notice, households should contact the school or determining official about any child also eligible under one of the programs or should submit an income application for the other children. Households notified of their children’s eligibility must contact the determining official or school if it chooses to decline the free meal benefits. If households/children are not notified by the district/school of their free meal benefits and they receive benefits under Assistance Programs or under Other Source Categorically Eligible Programs, the parent/ guardian should contact the determining official or their school. Foster children that are under the legal responsibility of a foster care agency or court, are categorically eligible for free meals, A foster parent does not have to complete a free/reduced meal application if they can submit a copy of the legal document or legal court order showing that the child is foster child.

The district may share eligibility information with education, health, and nutrition programs to help to evaluate, fund, or determine benefits for the programs, auditors for program reviews and law enforcement officials to help look into violation of program rules.

ter child may be included as a member of the foster family if the foster family chooses to also apply for benefits. If the foster family is not eligible for free or reduced price meal benefits, it does not prevent a foster child from receiving free meal benefits.

Under the provisions of the policy for determining eligibility for free and reduced priced meals, Tim Prosinski, Food Services Director, at 860-828-6581, ext. 5002 or email tprosinski@ berlinschools.org will review applications and determine eligibility.

Letters to the Editor Time for a change To the editor: As a resident of Berlin and a teacher in the New Britain public school system, I write this letter in support of Sharon Beloin-Saavedra for our next State Senator representing New Britain, Berlin and part of Farmington. Sharon has demonstrated an unwavering commitment to education and speaks often and effectively about the connection between public education and our future workforce. The economic viability of our state depends upon skilled labor and an educated labor force as well as common sense decision-making that is not dependent on deficit spending. Five years and three deficits later, it is time for a change.
nicipalities under the Town Aid Road program (notice the newly paved roads in town?) Berlin received over $330,000 in aid. She worked to create new jobs, helping to see a drop in unemployment in Connecticut, the sixth largest drop of any state in the nation. Plus, as the Chair of the Public Health Committee she helped create a bill to fight opioid abuse, an issue that affects every city and town. When budget cuts to Medicaid and Medicaid funded programs were in jeopardy she listened and acted, as she knew that our seniors, our frail and disabled needed support in their homes. Without this life-saving support our hospitals and nursing homes would be overwhelmed, costing the taxpayers so much more.
pensity to allow its buildings to fall into disrepair perhaps because its priorities are misguided by reaching for a want rather than maintaining a need. Case in point is the disastrous and outrageous amount of money spent to replace Berlin High School. It would seem to me that the council should relocate the Board of Education that is adjacent to the police quarters in the same building. The police department needs additional space for its special needs, whereas the Board of Education needs desk space.
voted “no” blame the state’s fiscal situation for keeping the project from moving forward. They claim uncertainty over the amount of funds flowing from Hartford to Berlin along with the debt burden the police project would incur. They also ignore the fact that the latest police station proposal is thousands of square feet smaller and millions of dollars less in construction costs than the plan put before voters (and defeated) in 2014.

Needless changes To the editor: The Town of Berlin has been well served by our council/ manager form of government for many years. Both political parties have had multiple opportunities to lead the council and town, all while operating under the current Town Charter. The prime responsibility of our council and manager is to provide our residents, businesses and visitors with public safety services, the education of our children and the oversight and management of our general government operations. The proposed charter revisions will not improve the efficiency, accountability or fiscal position of any of our town’s functions, services or programs. To the contrary: by adding an appointed finance board, a partisan Board of Education and splitting the P & Z commission, these measures will only insure more political drama and sniping. Let’s defeat these needless changes and concentrate on the more important issues facing this community. Richard F. Benson Berlin

Griswold School librarian. “Wandoo Reader is an online reading program management tool embedded in a game-like experience. All K-8 students have been trained to use this program, and are thrilled to record their summer reading, resulting in the earning of points. Points are then used to ‘level up’ and ‘purchase’ new galactic champions and powers.” Jennifer Needham, head of Children’s & Teen Services at the Peck-Memorial Library, has created special Wandoo challenges for K-8 students. Students can earn rewards and entries into Prize Pack drawings. Prizes include a Kindle Fire for Kids, Minecraft items, movie ticket gift baskets, and other great rewards from the Berlin-Peck Memorial Library. “Students who read and log 1,200 minutes will receive a free book, and earn a bookplate in a new Peck-Memorial Library book when they read 1,500 minutes or more. The library also offers fun programs for families with kids of all ages throughout the summer. Our patrons have been taking out stacks of books and our programs have been filled, with waiting lists, so I know that there’s a lot of reading going on out there,” said Needham.
District Literacy/Social Studies Coordinator Deb Thibault added, “We are trying to promote the importance of summer reading and create fun opportunities to engage our students. Together, we are hoping to prevent the ‘summer slide,’ in which students’ reading levels actually drop when they return in September, due to lack of summer reading.” Recently, Berlin Public Schools hosted its first ever K-8 summer book fair. The book fair was held at Mary E.

Griswold School Principal Laurie Gjerpen was thrilled to host the event, stating “The educators in town know how important it is to read every single day ... Even during the summer. To encourage that, we have done several things to keep students engaged. This book fair is a special event that we could not have done without the support of the Griswold Parents Club. We hope to make this an annual event, each year being hosted by a
Raising Berlin, a non-profit organization of Berlin parents whose goal is to teach and exemplify what being part of a community means while building lasting memories, also joined in on the summer reading fun. On July 29 at Zipadelli field (Sage Park), the group hosted A Night Under the Stars event. The night featured storytellers Teresa Whitaker and Frank Schwartz from the CT Storyteller’s Center, who blended music and
storytelling in an engaging performance. Storytelling was followed by family reading time, and a viewing of the movie Zootopia.

Berlin captures Division 2 championship The Berlin Little League 11/12 All Star baseball team defeated Avon in the Division 2 championship game 2-0 at Petit Field in Berlin on Friday night, July 22. Starting pitchers, James Ellis for Berlin and Matthew Leopold for Avon, both had nearly flawless outings, each allowing only three hits. Ellis won the pitching duel thanks to a 2-run second-inning home run by teammate Kasey Ouellette, who drove a 1-0 pitch over the center field wall to drive in the only two runs of the game. Ellis’ pitching and Berlin’s defense sealed the victory, holding Avon scoreless for the first time in the postseason. With the win, Berlin advanced to Connecticut Little League’s Final Four in Manchester.
The Berlin All-Stars, from left: Jon D’Amore, Nick Spinali, James Ellis, Tyler Rice, Jamie Palmese, Kyle Hyde, David Manafort, Sal Dastoli, Kasey Ouellette, Garrett Fallon, Alex Canzellarini, Sam D’Addabbo, Max Wojtusik.

Carasiti one step away from the big leagues The Hartford Yard Goats Baseball Club, the Double-A affiliate of the Colorado Rockies, has announced that closer Matt Carasiti has been promoted from the Yard Goats to Triple-A Albuquerque. He joins the Isotopes of the Pacific Coast League.
The Berlin, Connecticut native is currently leading the Eastern League with 29 saves and 22 games finished. He went 0-2 with 29 saves and 2.31 ERA in 38 relief outings at Hartford. The Eastern League All-Star selection last pitched for the Yard Goats on Thursday, July 21 at Reading
and recorded a save while retiring all four batters faced. Carasiti was a star at Berlin High School before going on to St. John’s University and becoming the Rockies’ 6th round draft pick in 2012. He was the only Connecticut native on the Yard Goats roster.
Carasiti, 25, has spent the entire season with the Yard Goats in his first season at the Double-A level. He recorded the Yard Goats first ever save on Opening Day 2016, April 7 at Richmond. He recorded 29 saves in 33 save opportunities from April 7 through July 21.
Carasiti recorded saves in eight consecutive appearances, June 17 through July 8 and 12 of 13 outings from June 17 through July 21. The right-handed reliever converted on saves in 12 of his last 13 save chances since June 15.

Failure to file an application within time limit and in manner and form prescribed is considered a waiver of the right to have the land classified as Farm, Forest or Open Space Land on the current Assessment List.
