Transit update gets a look
Crime survivor contributes to new book By Ashley Kus Citizen staff
A Berlin resident is letting those who have lost loved ones to crime know they’re not alone by opening up about her own experience in a new book about loss.

“It’s creating something very positive out of something very negative,” said Donna Gore.
Several residents and community members attended a transit oriented development meeting Thursday night, Oct. 27 to give their thoughts on the future of Kensington Center.
The town hired a team of consultants, led by Massachusetts-based company CivicMoxie, to study the area. The study is being funded by a grant. This comes in preparation for the new commuter rail service set to be complete in 2018. The team presented some See Transit, A26
Recently, the speech-pathologist co-authored, “Grief Diaries: Loss by Homicide.” The collection of stories, the 13th book in the “Grief” series created by Lynda Cheldelin Fell, focuses on the impact of homicide on loved ones. Other topics covered in the series include impaired driving, suicide and brain injury. Berlin resident Donna Gore recently signed books at a bookstore in Myrtle Beach as co-author of “Grief Diaries: Loss by Homicide.” | Donna Gore, submitted
In “Loss by Homicide,” Gore took from the experience of her father Donald W. Gore’s murder in Hartford in 1981. See Book, A25

Vote on Charter Changes A Message from PROTEC Protect and Preserve Our Town’s Effective Charter We are citizens of Berlin. We live here. Work here. Raise our families here. We retire here. We take pride in our community and the quality of life Berlin has to offer. We are passionate about Berlin. We care more about our town than about political leanings. That’s why we – deeply concerned Republicans, Democrats and unaffiliated citizens – organized PROTEC. Our number one priority is Berlin and the preservation of our effective town charter. Our charter has served us for more than 20 years. There are no fundamental flaws with it. Our government functions well, our children receive an excellent education, necessary town services are provided without interruption and our taxes are manageable. Let’s be clear. The proposed charter changes are the result of one political party attempting to seize control of our town government. They are trying to take away your right to have a meaningful voice in town government.
• Berlin voters will be disenfranchised • Twelve of our 13 Town officials will be handpicked by political party committees with Berlin voters having no ability to vote them out of office. PROTEC’s message to you is simple. We want to preserve our town charter and maintain the rights of Berlin voters to decide how our tax dollars are spent and how our children are educated. Don’t be deceived by the lies. The proposed Charter changes are a thinly disguised attempt to permanently seize control of town government from Berlin voters. The residents of Berlin are the ones who should decide the direction and future of our community, not a handful of politicians who are not accountable to Berlin voters. It is in your best interest to vote NO on charter changes on Election Day. Send a clear message to the politicians that our government belongs to us, not them.
If passed, the new charter will mean: • Bigger Government • Political operatives will decide who can serve on the Board of Education

“Sadly, sometimes they are abused, neglected, and discriminated against,” she said. “It’s wrong to discriminate against people and breeds of dogs.”
I was privileged to serve as the chair of Berlin’s 1979 Charter Revision Commission and as a member of the Town Council. I also was the town’s attorney for eight years. I am familiar with the terms of Berlin’s current charter. I have studied the provisions of the proposed charter changes. Some of which are confusing, others are contradictory, and some are, in my opinion illegal. For example: • The provisions of Sections 2-3 and 2-4 regarding the membership of the Town Council are contradictory and make it impossible to determine how its composition will be determined. Section 2-3 provides that “ no elector shall be a candidate for Mayor and Town Council” but also states, “ However the losing mayoral candidates shall have the votes they received for Mayor included in the compilation and the determination of the Town Council membership”, which means they are, by definition, candidates! The language of Section 2-4 further compounds this contradiction, [t] he six (6) highest vote totals among Town Council candidates shall make up the Town Council, provided that not more than three (3) Council members shall be of the same political party”. This contradictory language cannot be reconciled and will serve as the basis for a legal challenge should a losing candidate for Mayor attempt to displace a Council candidate. • The proposed Board of Finance also contains contradictory language. Section 4-5-1 states that members “ shall hold no other elective or appointive office”, yet Section 4-1-2 expressly provides that the Mayor is an ex-officio member, of the Board of Finance with the authority to call special meetings and preside as chairman. See Section 4-5-4. • The requirement of Section 5-5 that the Council must approve contracts entered into by the Board of Education is in violation of State law when it involves Board of Education bids and contracts, as the Board of Education has complete autonomy over its operating budget.

See the Connecticut Supreme Court decision in Ellington BOE v. Board of Finance of the Town of Ellington, 151 Conn. 1 (1963). This provision is illegal and unenforceable. • Likewise, the provisions of Section 8-8 that all “town labor contracts, including the Board of Education labor contracts, must be presented to the Council for its approval” is also contrary to State law and is illegal. The approval of certified Board of Education contracts is controlled by Connecticut General Statutes, 10-153d. Also to the extent that this provision attempts to give the Council the ability to approve or reject contracts by the Board of Education with individual employees, is counter to the Board’s independent authority to expend its operating funds, See Ellington, supra. If these serious drafting defects were adopted, they would imperil the orderly functioning of our government. It would be too late “to fix” them after the vote on November 8. They would cause substantial operating problems resulting in challenges to our legislative body and in legal conflicts between our elected boards and unnecessary and expensive litigation. It appears that the Charter Revision Commission and the Council conducted insufficient analysis before proposing these changes. The entire report of the Commission should be rejected. In order for a Charter to properly function, all of its sub sections must make sense and be enforceable. We are fortunate that our current charter is structurally sound and our government functions well. If future conditions warrant revision, let us make certain that suitable time and thought are expended to craft a meaningful and legally sound revision plan. I will vote no on the five charter questions to help assure that our government does not go off the rails and is not subjected to the problems inherent in these proposals. Stephen J. Anderson

“Sign, sign, everywhere a sign, blockin’ out the scenery, breakin’ my mind,” or so sang the Five Man Electrical Band back in the early 70s. Yet the same can be said this year as we approach Election Day 2016 in Berlin. It seems that a record-breaking number of signs advocating for the proposed changes in the Town Charter have appeared and I suspect more will germinate before Nov. 8th, like weeds poking up through a well- manicured lawn! Let’s review some of the statements displayed on these signs.

1) Changing the charter will translate into “LOWER TAXES.” Didn’t the Republican Town Council recently RAISE taxes after campaigning for just the opposite?
Sunday worship - 10 a.m.
2) Changing the charter will mean better schools. The simple fact is that the proposal, if passed, will call for a separate vote on the Board of Education’s budget. Does anyone really believe that the Board’s budget will pass? Many of those now calling for acceptance of the proposed Charter changes were MAJOR supporters of a Republican budget in 2003. That budget resulted in staff layoffs and the elimination or reduction of many, many programs for Berlin students, IN SPITE OF PLEAS FROM RESIDENTS TO RESTORE SOME ADDITIONAL FUNDING TO THE DISTRICT! In the next town election, all of these supporters were removed from office by Berlin voters!
Veterans Day program
More importantly, the signs allege that changing the Charter will make our Board of Education more accountable and transparent. The truth is that the proposed changes will make the Board partisan and introduce politics into our school system. The Board of Education already produces reams of documentation, as required by law. Residents have the opportunity to read this documentation as it is ALL public information and is available at the State of CT’s website or the Berlin Board of Education’s website. Signs also include messages about Secret Meetings. IN THE EIGHTEEN YEARS THAT I WORKED IN SOME FASHION WITH THE BOARD AS A MEMBER OR AS SUPERINTENDENT, THERE WAS NEVER A SECRET MEETING and I strongly suspect that is still the case! Again, as required by law, agendas for ALL meetings are posted in advance, are open to the public and minutes of ALL meetings are available to the public in a timely manner.

able for seniors who wish to attend. To schedule transportation arrangements, call Tina Doyle at 860-8287006. Special seating arrangements are available at 860-828-6581.
SUDOKU
3) Numerous signs contain the phrase “Make your vote count.” If that’s the case, why weren’t Berlin voters given the opportunity to vote on the revised proposal for a new police station? Didn’t the revised proposal include a significantly reduced construction cost? Instead, voters were denied the chance to vote by the current Republican-controlled Town Council. In reality, some of the proposed changes in the Charter will take away the meaning of a vote. One specific example is the proposed “resurrection” of a Board of Finance. Voters will NOT select the six members of this very powerful Board. Instead, our two political parties will choose the six candidates and once this process is completed, Berlin voters will NOT be able to remove any of them from office.

Bees’ general manager plays ball at library By Barbara Helming Special to The Citizen
League GM of the Year.
Patrick Day told the audience at his Wednesday, Oct. 26 presentation at the Berlin-Peck Memorial Library, “I am just trying to be the best Bee I can be every day.” As general manager of the New Britain Bees professional baseball organization, Day has been very successful during the team’s first year in existence, culminating in being named 2015 Atlantic
There are 25 players per roster in the eight-team Atlantic League. Approximately 80 of those 200 players have had Major League Baseball experience. Day sought to give the Berlin-Peck Memorial audience an understanding of the realities of being a baseball GM. He described himself as a glorified restaurant manager. He must be sure the stadium is clean, that the staff is doing

Day remarked that people wrongly assume he has winters off from his job. The truth is that the success or failure of a franchise is determined during the off-season, by its ability to obtain sponsors, season ticket holders
During the baseball season, Day reports, he is just executing what he promised the people he would do during the winter. The GM said the most unpredictable aspect of the business is the weather. With 70 home games per season, the stadium is open 280 hours. If it rains for 20 of those hours, it hurts the team financially. Day must watch the weather

closely because bad weather means he needs to reduce the food inventory, while good weather means the inventory needs to increase. Given that his entire career has been devoted to baseball team management, it appears that Day is the perfect man for the Bees’ GM position. He grew up in the tiny Berkshire town of Otis, Massachusetts and attended college in Vermont and then went to Concord University in West Virginia. The small town of Princeton, West Virginia had a baseball team, and during college, Day called the GM to inquire about an internship. He was brought on, and during the internship, he swept peanut shells, served as the scorekeeper, sold tickets and performed other assorted duties for the bare-bones Tampa See Bees, A11

Bay Rays. Prior to his graduation in 1998, Day accepted a position in Charleston, West Virginia at a 53-year-old ballpark. By 2001, he was the assistant GM and the team was purchased by new owners who sought to build a stadium in downtown Charleston. The opening of that stadium was delayed one year, forcing the team to play a season in Montgomery, Alabama. The city of Montgomery wished to keep the team and Day became the assistant GM and vice president of sales for the Montgomery Biscuits.
Looking for a change of pace, Day accepted a position with a hockey team, but he missed baseball. So, he became GM of an Atlantic League baseball team playing in a small stadium in Maryland, just 12 miles from the White House. In the fall of 2015, Day heard talk of a team coming to New Britain, and he liked the idea of returning to the area where he had grown up. Day was named the Bees’ GM in mid November 2015, moved here on Dec. 28 with his wife and two children, and assumed the role of GM on Jan. 5. When he took control of the multi-millions dollar Bees’ operation, he had just one

A member of the library audience asked Day for a description of the conditions of the stadium when he arrived.
Day admits to using Google Earth prior to his arrival to view the billboards on the stadium’s outfield wall to try to determine the previous team’s – the New Britain Rock Cats’ – sponsors.
Day said the offices could not be made operational until Feb. 23. New data wire had to be installed, locks changed, new carpet installed and fresh paint applied.
To ready the stadium for opening day on April 21, 2015, team ownership and the city of New Britain completed $700,000 worth of improvements in 90 days over the winter.
The city had repaired the field prior to Day’s arrival. A grounds crew from Fenway Park laid the new infield. Day reported that, currently, the core structure of the stadium is in excellent shape.

Story Share: Remembering Berlin schools By Lorraine Stub
The Berlin Historical Society has scheduled a Story Share for Wednesday, Nov. 9, 1 to 3 p.m., at the Senior Center, 33 Colonial Drive. Was the snow really thigh deep walking to and from school, or were we just shorter then? Did we really get a better education in the days of slide rules and fountain pens? Many of us remember that a teacher’s authority was never questioned. Classrooms of the past may have had up to 40 students, sometimes with combined grades. Maybe
teachers felt a bit overwhelmed, but rarely showed it. We like to think that we learned the basics in a no-nonsense environment, but it’s not as if school was all work and no play. At “Story Share” we often laugh over confessions of childhood highjinks. In 1907, Berlin renovated Worthington Town Hall to be the “state of the art” fourroom Worthington School. In the same year, the old Kensington Town Hall on Percival Avenue became Percival School. Soon after, the town was building Hubbard School in East Berlin
and Kensington Grammar in Kensington. Can you imagine the community support for opening four new schools within a few years of each other? There were also a dozen neighborhood schools scattered all over town. Some of these remain as private homes and public buildings. In oral histories, older residents tell us what it was like to go to school in Berlin. We’ve heard stories of riding a horse to school, helping the teacher build a fire in the stove, and serving cocoa to fellow students before classes. Many remember
KEEPING HEALTHY
days when most kids rode their bikes or walked a mile or more to a neighborhood school. Some seniors remember climbing into the attic of Worthington School to write their names on the rafters. Others vividly remember the potato salad salmonella emergency at the high school. We hear tales of legendary teachers and administrators, like Miss McGee, Mr. Harris and Miss Bruce. If you went to school in Berlin, you must have stories to share. We’ll pass a microphone through the audience, so there is no fear of standing before a crowd.
Response from the public for these programs has been overwhelming. Participants continue to bring us photos to be scanned, expanding our collective knowledge of what life was like in Berlin and how the town evolved over time. Perhaps the best thing about these programs is that they provide an “old home day” experience for longtime residents, and for new members of the community who want to feel more rooted where they live. Registration for the Story Share is requested by calling 860-828-7006. – The writer is Berlin Historical Society Secretary.

salaries and benefits that grow our middle class. The state is in its third consecutive budget deficit situation, with future years looking bleak if changes are not made. Education: My No. 1 priority is public education, both funding and policy. Education is our generation’s biggest civil rights issue. Equality and equity of access and opportunity, regardless of zip code, is the only answer to the achievement gap.

From well-kept roads and bridges to transportation hubs such as the Berlin Train Station and New Britain Fastrak, we have an opportunity for local growth and development. Public safety: During my tenure on the New Britain Board of Education, I have enjoyed a positive working relationship with our police department. Our school district has a successful SRO program. I understand and believe in our community’s need to feel safe – it is part of our hierarchy of needs. From physical and property safety to traffic and health issues that require a community safety re-
sponse, we need to invest in programs and services that fulfill this important aspect of community life. Environment: Clean air and clean water are universally accepted as absolutes in our communities here in the 6th Senatorial district. One of New Britain’s major assets is our water supply, and this supply is shared with other communities. Clean energy is another focus point and I am proud to say the New Britain school district has maximized our opportunities to participate in energy conservation through the use of solar panels, a large fuel cell and a major LED replacement program. We have also utilized an energy management liaison that has overseen the implementation of our conservation efforts.

law enforcement, the government cannot fix everything. Families must strive to do their part by encouraging their student to attend school and achieve at their highest level. Transportation: Our infrastructure needs to be maintained and our public transportation needs a logical approach that connects the various means together. Perhaps our transportation officials could take a lesson from Disneyland and see how thousands of people are moved about on a daily basis with interconnected forms of transportation. Public safety: I feel public safety is best achieved through interaction with our communities. Our citizens should work with the police by sharing information and supporting efforts to stop the horrific drug trafficking that ultimately leads to violent crimes.

30th House District Christopher D. Morelli
The issues:
Party: Republican Age: 19 Residence: Berlin Occupation: Student Education: Enrolled at UConn Platform: Cut expenses by reforming state pension plans; Create level economic playing field that brings in businesses of all sizes; Cut red tape to make it easier to start and run a business; Put transportation funds in a lock box. Other: Berlin Republican Town Committee member; Cemetery Board member; UConn student.
Economy: The state is spending too much and not spending responsibly. The high taxes are causing residents to move out. The state needs to focus on lowering Morelli tax rates which will encourage people to stay and start businesses. The pension system also needs an overhaul – new state employees should have a 401k plan and existing state employees faced with layoffs should be able to contribute more to their pension plans and keep their jobs. State legislators shouldn’t get state pensions and political campaigns shouldn’t be subsidized through the Citizens Election Fund. Education: UConn tuition is expected to rise more than 30 percent over the next four

years. That’s a major expense for students and the state, which should more closely scrutinize how the university spends money. State leaders should look at how UConn can spend more responsibly. The state will have to revamp its educational standards due to a recent court decision. That’s an opportunity to remove unfunded mandates and to allow teachers more autonomy in the classroom rather than burdening them with state directives. Transportation: The state should pass a plan to keep transportation funds in a lock box that can’t be raided for other projects. It should focus on roads and improving that infrastructure rather than spending money on projects such as CT fastrak.

Environment: A plan to allow Tilcon quarrying rights on public land near Crescent Lake should be opposed. The land is valuable for residents and wildlife and shouldn’t be poisoned or destroyed. State land should be protected and preserved.
Platform: Increase state revenue through Aresimowicz economic development, fund higher education to maintain and grow an educated workforce and put money into failing infrastructure.

Public safety: The state’s early release program lets violent offenders out of jail and should be ended. The program puts a burden on police and puts the public in danger. While the state is trying to save money by not incarcerating people as long, it should look elsewhere for savings. More focus should be placed on preventing recidivism and heroin treatment.

30th House District
Government Meetings
>> Aresimowicz Other: Berlin Town Council for three terms; State representative for six terms; finished second term as majority leader this year. Will likely become speaker of the house if re-elected. Endorsed by Working Families Party. The issues: Economy: The state has been trying to allocate the same size pie when it comes to revenue. My program is to increase economic development, particularly in the manufacturing and bioscience spheres, to expand revenue without raising taxes. The budget has been troublesome and there have been a lot of steps taken to curtail spending. Now the state needs to increase revenue.
that doesn’t mean neglecting the fight for Berlin and Southington’s fair share. Transportation: Transportation funding has been put off for another day in the past. The state is now faced with roads and bridges that are in failing or almost failing condition. The state Department of Transportation has repeatedly shown that they don’t have the ability to do things quickly or on budget. Legislators and the public should have oversight of how the department conducts projects to bring transparency. Public safety: The state has put into place a lot of policies that help police and first responders but leaders have
Education: The basic question of how to fund education at the municipal level is under consideration. As a state leader, it’s important to consider the educational needs of all of Connecticut’s public school students but
to continually ask whether residents are as safe as possible. It’s important to have a close relationship with police chiefs to be able to advocate on behalf of police departments. Environment: Tilcon has not demonstrated an overall need for the project to add a reservoir in exchange for quarrying rights near Crescent Lake. What has been demonstrated has been the negative impact of that project. The project shouldn’t be supported and state leaders should ensure that rivers, streams and forest areas are preserved. The Tilcon proposal isn’t consistent with that.

At press time, the locals owned a stellar record of 103-2, and recently earned their second straight Central Connecticut Conference South Division championship. “After losing such a strong group of seniors, it’s difficult to measure expectations,” Berlin coach Sal Parafati said. “However, this group has come together and managed to win games. We haven’t been perfect, but at the end of the day, we managed to win a second straight division title. This team’s main asset is camaraderie. There is a brotherhood here that everyone buys into, and that is the key to our success.”

findings last Thursday night based off previous focus groups and interviews with town business owners. “We are thinking about what fits with the character of Berlin,” said Susan Silberberg, founder of CivicMoxie.
Silberberg said the other towns were chosen based on feedback from people who enjoyed them the most. Next to the pictures were two pieces of lined paper asking what people liked most about the town center, and what they liked the least.
A few anonymous thoughts from the focus groups and interviews were presented. Silberberg said a lot of people were concerned with the lack of foot traffic, as well as Kensington Center not having a “unified image.”
Restaurants, green space, and retail ranked high for most popular answers for all the towns.
“There’s an ongoing concern about getting retailers in,” said Silberberg.
Berlin’s “like” list included, access to the highway, parks, the golf course, open spaces, the train station and the Historical Society museum.
Several surrounding towns’ centers were displayed around the Town Council
YES!
The “dislike” list was a little longer. People pointed out that the Berlin Turnpike accounts for only a fraction of the actual town but can be the primary feature anyway. Another concern was the lack of retail and healthier restaurants, in addition to the number of pizza shops and nail salons.

PET PHOTO WINNERS
The winners of FOBAC’s 12th annual Berlin Fair pet photo contest have been announced. Pet owners submitted their pet photos along with a small entry fee, and fair-goers voted all weekend by putting money in their favorite pet’s slot. The dog and cat who earned the most donations won a gift basket. Gigi Plochocki, a Zichon mix (Bichon/ Shitzuh), earned the most money among the dogs over the three-day fair contest. Meeko Barnes was the cat winner.
