of us really cared to know our party affiliations. It never really came into the discussion,” said former board member Julie Erickson, who explained that boards from surrounding towns envy Berlin’s board because of its non-partisanship. Current board member JoAnn Angelico-Stetson also spoke to the high-quality of
the non-partisan board. She voiced her concern that the switch to partisan may be “dangerous” in the outcome.

BHS valedictorian takes high school lessons to college
Resident starts mental health conversation By Ashley Kus Citizen staff
By Ashley Kus Citizen staff
Rachel Prior is on a mission to spread awareness about mental health.
Michelle Grieco believes in failure. It took two cuts from her elementary and middle school soccer teams for the Berlin High School valedictorian to work her way up to the varsity team as only a freshman.
“It affects everyone in some way,” she said. The Goodwin College student is organizing the first Mental Health Walk in Berlin. Because May is recognized as Mental Health Month, the event will be held in May 2017. She is considering two locations, Pistol
West Hartford and Simsbury. “They sometimes, unfortunately, have better student achievement results, but, never the less, those boards also have the ultimate goal to make education better for our students,” she said.

“She’s a role model and inspiration to all students,” he said.
Grieco will be joining her older sister at UConn and has already gotten a peek at what’s to come.
As valedictorian, Grieco has the highest grade point average among her peers. However, the number represents a lot more than just her exceptional grades. Grieco’s classes have prepared her to pursue her economic major at UConn, along with her dream of becoming a lawyer.
Her activities outside the classroom have helped shape who she is today. It is one of the reasons why BHS
From AP English, Grieco says the class encouraged more writing and reading, skills essential for becoming a lawyer. Her AP Psychology class challenged her to ask questions and see things from a different perspective. She credits her AP teachers Mr. Rush and Mr. Pires as getting her to where she is now, among other great teachers along the way.

She attributes a majority of her high school success to her parents. Growing up with three siblings Grieco never saw her parents as strict but rather as wanting their kids to do well. “They taught us the value of working hard in school
Grieco plans to check out the college’s club fair and get involved in something related to community service. She also hopes to get back into soccer. As excited as she is for the next adventure though, Grieco is still having a hard time believing that her high school life is over. “I remember being a freshman and hearing all the seniors say how high school flies by, and rolling my eyes in the audience,” she said. “But now I’m here, and it’s crazy that college is starting in a few months.” Grieco will be giving her valedictorian speech at the BHS graduation ceremony, Sunday, June 19. reporter@theberlincitizen.com (203) 317-2448 @KusReporter on Twitter

“It forces you to speak up and get out of your comfort zone,” she said.
“This encompasses all the things that I have worked for,” she said.
“My older sister took economic classes last year and I skimmed her book a little, looked around to see what it actually was and she explained it to me,” she said. “I just kind of found it interesting how it’s more of an application instead of just a straight up math concept.”

Drive and ambition is only a fraction of what the class of 2016’s valedictorian will be taking with her when she attends UConn in the fall as an economics major. She believes her leadership skills, which she gained from her four-year involvement in Upbeat, will play a role in her college success. From helping out at the middle school, to volunteering at Worthington Manor, Grieco has learned to be a leader.

Surgical Weight Loss Sessions
Police offer seminar on ‘active shooter’ situations By Ashley Kus Citizen staff
Police will offer a seminar later this month to help the public deal with an “active shooter” situation before officers arrive. Deputy Chief John Klett said it could take officers at least three to five minutes to arrive at an emergency situation. “That can feel like an eternity if you’re in that situation,” he said. Berlin officers train twice a year on responding to an active shooter. The seminar will give the public a basic understanding of how to act if confronted by an active shooter. The three actions that will be explained are: run, hide and fight. Klett says “fight” is the last resort, while running away is the first option. If a person cannot run away, the next best option is to hide, he said.

Author to discuss Middlefield’s Lyman Family
As seating is limited, reservations must be made by calling the museum at 860-828-5114. The society’s annual business meeting is scheduled from 6 to 6:30 p.m. before the featured program. The public is welcome to attend. The seeds of the grassroots dynasty that flourishes to this day at Lyman Orchards in Middlefield were planted when John and Hope Lyman began life on a small farm in 1741. Here the first five gen-
erations of Lyman men and women built and maintained a family homestead, facing challenges large and small, with courage and conviction. Even as the Lymans sank roots deep into New England soil, they were active in charting the course of the nation’s history from colonial times to after the Civil War. They fought for American independence, crusaded against slavery, advanced industry, and more. McCain provides an overview of the events of the turbulent decades of the novel’s time period between 1741 and 1871 that transformed a handful of American colonies into a young nation on the cusp of the modern industrial era. She will discuss how “Thy Children’s Children” conveys the realities, often harsh and unforgiving, of daily existence for the Lymans and other Connecticut families during this era, and

Obituaries Lisa Marie Andreana BERLIN — With profound sadness we mourn the passing of our dear daughter, Lisa Marie Andreana, 22, who entered into eternal peace on Wednesday, June 1, 2016, due to a heroin overdose after a long and courageous battle with addiction. While we are deeply saddened to see her go, we are relieved that her struggle has ended and she is now at peace. She grew up a happy spirited child with a love for family, the beach, soccer, running, reading, writing poetry, quilting (a love she shared with her Mema) and was an accomplished pianist. She was a very spiritual girl with a kind and caring soul. She touched so many people and always encouraged them to do their best even in her times of great struggle. She was quick to laugh and loved her family with all her heart. She was a 2012 graduate of Berlin High School and was a student at Southern Connecticut State University before her illness took hold. She leaves behind her mother, Amy Andreana; her father, Robert Andreana; her beloved brother, Bobby Andreana; and her half-brother, Nolan, all from Berlin; her grandparents, Raymond and Ginger Rondini, of Newington, and Eloise Andreana (Grand El,) of Berlin. She also leaves her special aunt, Pam Lavery, of Berlin; and cousins,

>> Relay From A6
Berlin Relay for Life was spearheaded by the three-person leadership committee of Laura Karoll and Shari Garrison of Berlin and Carol Reed of New Britain. Karoll began Relay eight years ago in honor of her three aunts and an uncle who fought battles with cancer, while Garrison began around the same time, for her mother, a survivor of breast cancer. Over the years,
the Relay for Life has become journey. a family event for Garrison. “It used to be that people “It’s a great time for family wouldn’t talk about cancer. bonding,” she said.

Over the years, Reed and Mangan have supported each other through tough times and worked in remembrance of the members of Team Irish both past and present. Thanks to the fundraising at the event and throughout
the year, the Berlin Relay for Life was able to raise some $55,000 for the American Cancer Society. The slogan of the Relay, “Celebrate, Remember, Fight Back,” was exemplified in the survivors and supporters who participated Saturday. “Great strides are being made in research,” said Keith Adams of New Britain. “Now survivors are going on for 10, 15, 20 years.”

>> Mental health Creek or the Berlin Lions Fairgrounds. “We need to let people know that it’s OK not to be OK,” said Prior. Originally from Newington, the Berlin resident has had a passion for the mental health field since she was a
teen and hopes to become a psychologist. The idea for a walk started as a school assignment and grew. “I watched a lot of videos on these different walks and wondered if there were any mental health walks,” she said.

Prior found few in her own area. She decided to create a walk with the support of Mental Health Connecticut (MHC), a non-profit organization in West Hartford. Suzi K. Craig, MHC senior director of Advocacy & Development, was thrilled to see Prior take the initiative. “It’s really important, especially for the younger generation to really take up this work,” she said.
“Our bill requires insurance companies to cover more treatments,” he said, “It starts to marry together the physical health system and the mental health system, creating one system to treat people.”
Quinnipiac University Aneta Chorzepa, Samantha DeFrancesco, Daniel Lojko, Jenna Lynch, Guilherme Vieira of Berlin; Shayna Zuk of Kensington; Shane Garfi of East Berlin.
Craig says that MHC has also been working on legislative reform.
“It’s awesome for her to have that commitment and passion,” said MHC Executive Assistant Jacquilyn Davis.
“We’ve come a long way, especially in Connecticut,” Davis said, “But in terms of the stigma, I think we still have a long way to go.”
“We have a long way to go, but finally there’s research out there,” she said. Davis will be in Washington next week for the Mental Health America conference.

Prior’s event is a year away but she has already started promoting it on social media and in other ways. The college student handed out flyers around town before Memorial Day events, as well as spreading the word at the Veterans Hospital in Newington where she volunteers.
Prior’s efforts to change the way that people view mental health, coincide with recent

*The Annual Percentage Rate (APR) of 3.00% is variable based on the Prime Rate as published in The Wall Street Journal (3.50% as of 5/20/16) minus 0.25% plus an additional 0.25% rate discount when you arrange to have payments made automatically through ACH from your Farmington Bank personal checking account. If you cancel the auto pay during the life of the loan, the APR will revert back to Prime minus 0.25%. Without automatic payments from a Farmington Bank personal checking account, the APR would be 3.25% variable based on the Prime Rate minus 0.25% as stated above. The APR may vary and your minimum payment may increase or decrease.

The APR can never go below 0% with a maximum of 18%. A $50 annual fee applies. If you close (terminate) your Home Equity Line of Credit within 24 months of the original note date, an early termination fee will be imposed. The early termination fee will be the lesser of: Two (2) percent of the line amount or $500.00. There are no application fees on line amounts of $10,000 -$500,000.

Unions boycott fundraiser in protest of budget

“Labor is angry with the Democratic party,” said Julius Preston, a captain with the state Department of Correction and president of the Connecticut State Employees Association’s Corrections Supervisors Council.
Some politicians in attendance urged the two sides to come together, raising concerns that presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump could win in November if
Democrats and labor are divided. “We often have fights and bitterness inside our party, and what I’m going to say to both groups is ‘it’s my hope we can find a way to come back together,’” said U.S. Sen. Christopher Murphy, D-Connecticut, who stopped to shake hands with some protesters on his way into the See Fundraiser, A19

HARTFORD — Union members voiced displeasure with state Democratic leaders last week, boycotting the annual fundraising dinner that they usually help fill.
The package included $820 million in spending cuts, including changes that will result in state employee layoffs and reductions in municipal aid.

As many as 200 protesters, largely from public sector unions, stood outside the Democrats’ annual Progressive Dinner, held Thursday, June 2 at the Connecticut Convention Center. Protesters said they wanted to show their disapproval of the budget fix that Democrats approved during a special session last month to close a $960 million deficit in next year’s budget.

was also a topic of disagreement Monday night. Current board member Julia Motte explained that the learning curve for board members is enormous and that she was still learning in her first year as a member. “I couldn’t imagine having this year under my belt and going into
next year, with having something to contribute, and then having to start over or just not being reelected and having someone new come in,” Motte said. Having the school budget as a separate vote from the town budget at referendum also received mixed reviews from attendees. While some
talked about wanting to keep the budgets consolidated, others said there would be more transparency if they were separate. Another big change that stirred up some controversy Monday night was the idea to split the Planning and Zoning Commission into two commissions. Economic Development Commission Chair Dave Cyr spoke about the possible consequences of going forward with such a big change.

“What will happen if the two commissions have different interpretation or disagree?” he said. “That will make the process more difficult and uncertain for applicants.” Term limits were also discussed for the Planning and Zoning Commission. With term limits, board members, like Cyr, say that experienced participants would have to leave a board even if they were doing well.
