Retiring fire chief to help his successor By Ashley Kus Citizen staff
Recently, the mystery unraveled when Lewis Southard, a retired forester, antique pistol collector and researcher from Virginia heard through the grapevine that the Spruce Brook Bridge adjacent to the North Mill site would soon be rebuilt. The site is on the National Register of Historic places, so is known to those interested in early arms manufacture. Southard contacted the State DOT offices, reaching Mandy Ranslow, staff archaeologist, and she put me in touch with him. We talked about the long ago dig and the society’s quest for the artifacts.

Chris Edge, Economic Development Director, says the sidewalks will “connect the dots” to allow easier access to main destinations in town. “Right now there’s no easy way to go from Town Hall to the village or to the train station,” he said. The project will be funded from a state grant received last year to provide multiple sidewalk connections
Jack Healy, Director of Public Works, says that the project is expected to go out to bid in time to start construction in the fall. There will be a break in the winter with completion in the spring. “We are trying to minimize the impact to residents,” Healy said. “We’re keeping their interest in mind.”

Southard said he “knew people who knew people” who were involved and would make inquiries. Within a couple days he was back in touch to report the artifacts were in possession of Bruce Congdon, a fellow pistol collector from Millbury, Massachusetts. Congdon was agreeable to turning the collection over to Berlin Historical Society’s museum, and personally delivered them to the museum on Aug. 15. Southard was in Connecticut doing research and arranged to meet with us, display his collection of North pistols and help us interpret the artifacts we received. Congdon brought his own North pistol collection, letters written by Simeon North, maps and a painted portrait of North to show.
the site and the dig was surprisingly productive. The mill collapsed in a devastating flood in 1849. Remnants of the mill are buried in a large mound of earth and vegetation surrounded by sections of stone foundation. Looking at the trickling brook now, it is hard to imagine it turned a water wheel powering machinery, but that was long ago, before Meriden diverted brook water for a reservoir. We knew that the artifacts were taken back to Louisiana to be examined, documented and cleaned. After that we knew the best artifacts were taken to an antique firearms convention in Denver. While there was no formal agreement to return them to Berlin, the assumption was they would be.

being awarded the contract to provide pistols for the War of 1812, his son, Rueben, continued to operate the mill until his death in 1843.
Spruce Brook is where Simeon North developed his revolutionary milling machine, employing it to create interchangeable parts for flintlock pistols. Prior to his time, firearms were not uniform and parts could not easily be replaced. North was the first manufacturer to supply pistols to the U.S. government in 1808 when Congress passed an act creating an armed militia. Over time, the mill site also produced scythes, Cheney clock parts, tinware and blacksmithing services. Although North moved the pistol manufacturing operations to Middletown after
As for the Spruce Brook Bridge project, it has been deferred until Spring 2017. Great care has been taken with the engineering and architectural plans to respect the historic nature of the site. This will not be a shiny chrome and cement barrier bridge. Heavy wood beams and dark tone metal posts will flank its sides. A 20th century cement culvert will be removed. Stone from near the site will be dry mounted to face a rebuilt archway underneath.

Since early 2015, we have seen 25 businesses which have relocated to Berlin or have started in Berlin. These businesses come from many different industries such as retail, restaurant, service, distribution, manufacturing and even an auction house and an art re-use store. In that time, we have celebrated these firms with over 20 ribbon cuttings and two ground-breakings. As the home of many family-owned businesses, we are working to help them continue to be suc-
cessful by bringing them together to talk about their businesses, their customers, who they would like to do business with and more. Thus our goal of: Let’s Do Business! As you can see, things are happening in Berlin and we welcome you to be part of it.

EDITORIAL
Connecticut ranks high in voting Donald Trump is pushing this conspiracy theory, as well. “We’re going to watch Pennsylvania. Go down to certain areas and watch and study and make sure other people don’t come in and vote five times,” the Republican presidential nominee said at a recent campaign stop. “If you do that, we’re not going to lose. The only way we can lose, in my opinion — I really mean this, Pennsylvania — is if cheating goes on.” The reality is, widespread cheating is not an issue in our elections. Various analyses have found that, while voting fraud does indeed occur, the rate is infinitesimal.
This doesn’t mean that American elections don’t have room to improve, however. Stories abound of hours-long waits at polling places, and shoddy voting machines. Also, it’s not unusual for registered voters to be turned away from the polls due to clerical errors.
The state ranked 10th in 2012, 7th in 2010, and 19th in Pew’s first ever ranking in 2008.
“This represents enormous progress and we’ll continue to try to improve in the years ahead,” Secretary of the State Denise W. Merrill said, commenting on ConnectiThankfully, here in Connecti- cut’s No. 5 ranking. “We will cut, problems associated look to best practices to learn with voting are rare. In fact, a from and ways to break new recent Pew Charitable Trusts ground in Connecticut. We analysis ranked the state fifth are determined to make regin the nation in its Elections Performance Index. The Associated Press reports the most recent Pew report, which analyzed the administration of the 2014 election cycle, found that Connecticut outperformed the national average in 10 of 15 factors, and also received positive marks for having online registration and post-election audits, two other indicators of the evaluation.
