Former resident restoring historic tavern building By Lorraine Stub
When Richard Rice is back in his hometown working on 944 Worthington Ridge, his concentration is often interrupted by passersby who roll down their windows to call out “thanks” for saving the historic Loveland Tavern building. The Historic District Commission recently gave thanks to Rice with a framed certificate of appreciation. The
award is given periodically to recognize care, craftsmanship, and respect for period detail and aesthetics demonstrated in a renovation project.

While growing up on Worthington Ridge delivering newspapers, Rice appreciated the surrounding history, but never imagined he would be buying former mayor Warren Kingsbury’s old home. After the Kingsburys sold the home, it soon
Through foreclosure, the house came on the market again. Buyers looking for a bargain were deterred by the scope of work needed, but Rice could see the potential. He hired an inspector See Historic, A6

Residents may have to wait a little longer to visit a vineyard in town.
Currently, it is unknown if those plans have progressed.
According to town officials, a site plan has not been submitted for a winery. Regulations to allow a winery operation in various sections of town went into effect late March. The process kicked off after resident Bradford Kelley approached Economic Development with the idea. He planned for a vineyard on
“The regulations for wineries are good to go as soon as someone wants to purchase,” said Hellyn Riggins, development services director. Town Manager Denise McNair was not able to confirm the status of a potential winery in town. Economic Development Director Chris Edge was unable to be reached for comment.

Crews start drilling operations on Berlin rails By Ashley Kus The Berlin Citizen

The tracks from North Haven, through Wallingford, and into the southern part of Meriden are being installed
ever, normal traffic is expected to continue. Berlin is also undergoing construction for a new train station, along with Meriden and Wallingford.
As for the current operations on the rails in Berlin, the state DOT does not expect there to be any disruptions for residents in the area.
The entire line is expected to be completed by January 2018.
“The plan is not to interrupt roads for that wall construction,” said Bruce Adelstein, supervisor of engineering for the state DOT.

Once again, Berlin out-paces the competition For the third time, the Town of Berlin has won the Central Connecticut Health District’s Walking Competition, beating out Newington, Wethersfield and Rocky Hill in the month-long event. The winning town was announced Thursday, July
7, at the summer concert series held at the Amphitheater in Rocky Hill’s Elm Ridge Park. This was the first year that town residents joined in the competition. In previous years, only town employees participated.
The goal of the competition is for each person to get up to 10,000 steps a day, close to five miles. Other activities that can’t be tracked with a pedometer, like swimming or rowing, can be recorded for a cap of 30 minutes a day per activity.
Participants log their pedometer miles on WalkingWorks.com from Blue Cross

Having family and friends here to help with the work made the home’s transformation possible. They went to work getting the roof re-shingled. Next, they hand dug the dirt basement floor, and removed the mold with gallons of bleach. A concrete floor was poured and the HVAC systems updated. Floors were refinished, old windows restored, walls and paneling painted. Vintage features were preserved, in-
cluding the old, but efficient, cast iron radiators. While over the years the building has seen alterations, the wavy, hand blown glass, 6 over 6 panes, wood windows remain, as does much of the original clapboard, some secured with hand wrought nails. The overhanging second story is a unique feature as are the brownstone steps. Cut in a style know as a “curtain entry with volute,” the lower stone step has a carved swirl on either side. Divided side lights frame the front entry door, no longer hidden by overgrown shrubs. 944 Worthington Ridge back in the day. Recently, Rice replaced wood clapboards on the upper front story, as the old ones were too fragile to scrape and sand for painting. Another unique feature is that the width of the wood clapboards differs on each side of the building.

Loveland Tavern even had an upstairs ballroom. When Elijah Loveland died in 1826, his son, George, took over the business. Census records from 1850 show a mix of families living in the building, including Loveland’s grown son and daughter, a North family of four, and two women, Lucy Pease and Sarah Stone. The ladies ran a women’s apparel shop there called “Pease and Stone.” Later, the 1880 census records the Roys family as the occupants of the building. Franklin Roys, an inventor, held patents for improved metal roofing and corrugated metal. He became a partner in Peck, Stow, Wilcox, manufacturer of tinsmith tools and metal roofing in East Berlin, the epicenter of the tin industry at that time. Sarah Roys, one of the three daughters, ran a private school in the house, eponymously known as Miss Roys’ School, from the 1880s until the early 20th century.
Rice lives in California and works for a fine arts museum in San Francisco. He has no immediate plans to move back to Berlin, so the house he restored is currently being rented. He does admit to having an eye open for other restoration opportunities in his hometown. It’s unfortunate Warren and Elsie Kingsbury did not live to see their former home restored, but one of their daughters recently visited from Florida and gave Rice a grateful “thumbs up.” – The writer is Vice-Chair of Berlin’s Historic District Commission.
The Plourde twins arrived early. But in the perfect place. Cameron and Olivia were born 10 weeks premature — with a serious condition known as twin-to-twin transfusion. Fortunately, our Neonatal Intensive Care Unit was ready with all the care they needed. After 57 days in the hospital, they came home...and today, you couldn’t tell them apart from any other healthy, happy toddlers.

Bringing back this old house has been a passionate journey for Rice and his family. They continue to study historic homes, ever tweaking their work. Replacing the newer storm door, repairing a vintage door bell, and adding a period-appropriate fence on the corner are on their to-do list.

A gaggle of geese hold up traffic along Farmington Avenue recently.
Letters to the Editor Supporting Gerratana To the editor: On Aug. 9, we have an important primary for the Democratic State Senate seat in New Britain, Berlin and Farmington. I would like to encourage voters to support Terry Gerratana. During the time that I served on the Berlin Board of Education, from 2004-2013, as well as in my professional career of working with individuals with intellectual disabilities at a local community non-profit provider, I became well acquainted with Sen. Gerratana. From my personal experiences, she is a champion for education and for people with intellectual disabilities. What makes Sen. Gerratana stand out is that she listens carefully, cares about the issues, uses common sense and seeks information and knowledge. She has a passion to serve her communities. Sen. Gerratana has the character we all seek in a candidate: someone who puts the well-being of her community above any personal agenda. She has a commitment to hold herself accountable to the voters by being accessible and keeping her actions transparent. I appreciate the fact that Sen. Gerratana is hard-working and a proven leader. She is currently chair of the Public Health Committee and vice-chair of the Government Administration and Elections Committee. She is a member of the Appropriations Committee and the Judiciary Committee. Her tenure goes back to 1993 when Sen. Gerratana first served in the Connecticut General Assembly as a member of the state House of Representatives for 10 years. Then, in 2011, she was elected in a special election to represent the citizens of the 6th District as State Senator. In 2014, Sen. Gerratana was elected again by her constituents. She has been endorsed by the Democrats for the 6th District State Senate seat. Terry has served
the 6th District voters well over the years and has earned my support. Julie Erickson Berlin
Lousy plan To the editor: Wow! Berlin got a state grant to improve Main Street, Kensington and they sure did, taking parking spaces away making a middle isle with trees to narrow the street more. I had a 9 a.m. appointment with Dr. Bannon recently, and there were no parking spaces available. How is that going to improve business for those already there? Maybe move? Sure is a lousy plan. Now I can’t wait for the first snow and watch the plows go up and down Main Street. Bet some bricks will go flying. Oh well, maybe the state will give us another grant to clean up. Mary Jane Mason Berlin
If it’s not broken ... To the editor:
We have a first-rate education system. Our trash is collected regularly in modern hygienic containers. The tax rate is stable. The town’s infrastructure is properly maintained. The public safety is assured by dedicated police officers. We have one of the finest fire departments in Connecticut. We enjoy excellent libraries and parks. New businesses have located here. The town’s credit rating is superior. The town’s boards and commissions function properly allowing the town to provide the necessary services that progressive communities offer. The high school is ready to serve future generations. The council and the manager have been a good team in providing direction and management of the town’s multi million-dollar operations. The town’s professional staff has been instrumental in getting the town’s business done right. The financial matters have been expertly managed and overseen by the town manager, finance director, with the council’s oversight. Now a further attempt is being made to revert to the old form of government. A partisan finance board is again proposed which would strip away the council’s financial duties. The Board of Education will become partisan. The members of these boards will be hand picked by the party bosses. A really bad idea! It appears that our finance director agrees. He has taken a job with another community. There is nothing fundamentally flawed with our present 21st century system of government. The proposed changes do nothing to improve how government works.
Nineteen years ago an attempt was made to change our charter by eliminating our council/ manager government and reestablish an executive board and a finance board. Fortunately, the voters Reverting to a 1900’s style of government would be a serious misstep. The voters will speak in soundly defeated that effort. November. Berlin has flourished under its professionally opStephen J. Anderson erated system of government. Berlin It is a great place live and work and raise a family.
