Town authorizes $4.5 million to fix sewer By Daniel Jackson The Berlin Citizen
The Town Council authorized Town Manager Denise McNair to sign a $4.5 million bond at its May 15 meeting. This will allow the town to hire a contractor to make repairs to 1.6 miles of leaky sewer line. “Basically, the pipes we’re talking about have cracks, holes, what have you,” Mayor Adam Salina said. “We get charged the amount of flow that goes to the Mattabassett District. So, if we, essentially, fix these holes, when it rains, rather than that rainwater going through the holes, into the pipe to the Mattabassett District to which it gets charged, it will stay outside the pipe and we will only be charged for our true wastewater.” The loan will be acquired by the town and will be paid off by the water districts.
Berlin Water Control Commission plans on adding a $20 surcharge to its customers’ water bill to pay for the project starting in October. BWCC held a public hearing on the change May 22. Lawrence DeAntonio, manager of the Berlin Water Control, said the other two districts will set their own rates and they have not yet scheduled public hearings. Berlin’s sewer pipes let in 300 million gallons of stormwater per year, according to a survey of the pipes done in 1995. The expense to treat this added water costs the town an estimated $600 dollars a day. The Mattabassett Wastewater Treatment Facility, which treats Berlin’s wastewater, faces a deluge of water it needs to treat every time it

Police department awards officers in first public ceremony By Daniel Jackson The Berlin Citizen

Officers wait for the award ceremony to begin. Officer Jeffrey Veach is seen in the foreground.
In the past, the Berlin Police Department gave awards quietly, before a small group of people inside the police station. “They already knew what he did, or she did,” police Chief Paul Fitzgerald said. “Tonight, you will hear some extraordinary renditions of what our officers do,” Fitzgerald said at the department’s first public awards ceremony. “They do it every day, 24 hours a day seven days a week. Many times, it’s in the wee hours of the morning and nobody gets to see it.” The award ceremony held in the Council Chambers May 16 recognized 16 officers and one police dog for events that happened in the last year. They were given awards for actions such as saving lives, arresting intoxicated drivers, investigations into robberies and for showing valor and restraint when a
wanted man armed himself with a knife during his arrest. The officers included men like Officer Ryan Gould who, on his Sept. 18, 2011 midnight shift, responded to a car accident. The driver was trapped in the car, asking for anyone to pull him out, according to the account read at the ceremony. The car started smoking. Gould tried to put out the fire with a fire extinguisher but the dashboard and the airbags caught fire with the man inside. The fire department account stated that if Gould had not entered the car, dragged the man out just as the car was engulfed in flames, and started administering emergency care, the man would have died. For that action, Gould received a Merit Award. Fitzgerald said that the police department’s awards committee approached him

Relay raises research funds, puts cancer on notice By Katherine Vandrilla Special to The Citizen
Berlin celebrated its fifth annual Relay for Life May 19 at the Berlin Fair Grounds. During this event, more than 40 teams walked, over the course of 24 hours, as a way to illustrate the reality that cancer never sleeps. Since the local event began, Berlin supporters have raised nearly a half a million dollars for the American Cancer Society. The weekend kicked off with an opening ceremony with Mayor Adam Salina

one’s life at one point or another. After the sun went down, participants gathered for the luminaria ceremony. During this, candles are lit for those who have lost their battle to cancer, those who have survived, and those who are still fighting. Hundreds of flickering lights lined the track, each one with a name and a story. Relay organizers said this is why the fight against cancer is so important. While each year more and more people survive cancer, there is still much more work to be done before a cure is found. The Relay For Life and the

saying the way it had previously given out awards was not sufficient in recognizing the officers. The officers should be able to have their friends and family present. Fitzgerald agreed.
This idea started last July when four officers distinguished themselves in one night. Officer Michael Manning responded to a domestic dispute at the Best Western Hotel, July 2, on the Berlin Turnpike to find a woman screaming for help in one of the rooms saying a man was
going to kill her. Manning called for the door to be opened. A woman crawled from the room, seriously stabbed, while the man remained inside. Three other officers arrived and relieved Manning, pulling the critically injured woman to safety and cover-

Dense development needed to make KGS renovation possible Citizen photo by Daniel Jackson

(Editor’s note: The Planning and Zoning Commission held another meeting about the KGS yesterday May 23. For an update on the KGS story, visit our website, www.theberlincitizen.com.) Geoffery Sager, president of Metro Realty group, told the Planning and Zoning Commission May 17 without adding the additional apartments to their development, Metro Reality cannot renovate the Kensington Grammar School, “a blighted, historical structure.” “Unfortunately, we are not able to salvage KGS without the construction of the market rate units,” said Sager at the public hearing on his proposed development. “A stand-alone, senior housing
proposal at the per-unit cost necessary to save KGS is simply not feasible.” Neighbors like Christina Ohon say that the proposed development would be too dense for the neighborhood. She told the commission the development would place the 1229691

project manager at HRP Associates, said KGS is contaminated with lead paint and asbestos. It would cost about $1 million to just to clean the site and clear the inside of the building for construction. The asbestos is in the plaster, the tiles on the floor and the water sitting beneath the floors, Ainsworth said. The roof on KGS failed and water gets into the building, rotting floors and breaking down asbestos. Dennis Kern, the lawyer for St. Paul Parish, told the commission the proposed development is so dense and such a radical zoning change that it “violates your very own town plan of conservation and development, violates your own zoning regulation and is clearly incompatible with the neighborhood.”

Sager said the revenue generated from the market rate apartments would subsidize the cost of the senior housing, making the apartments in KGS affordable housing. This would help the town reach its 10 percent affordable housing goal, Sager said. Sager said the development would fit in with the development around the center of town. For example, Metro Realty anticipates residents of the development would use the commuter train that will be built through Berlin in the future. “We have the potential of putting feet on the ground

Sewer Continued from page 1 rains. If the facility gets backed up, it will bypass discharge, that is, release wastewater straight into the Connecticut River. The Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection has pressured the Mattabassett District to reduce the times it by-
passes discharge, according to the town. By plugging the leaks, Berlin will reduce the amount of water treated. The project was put on hold because the town lacked funds. Art Simonian, director of Public Works, said the town is pursuing the project
now because contractors’ rates are competitive due to the economy. The town plans to fix the main sewer line that leads to the Mattabassett district that each water control district uses to transport wastewater to the treatment plant.
It wants to fix the 42 inch, reinforced concrete pipe that runs along the Mattabassett River starting near Webster Square Road and ending close to where the Mattabassett River crosses the Berlin Turnpike. The plan is to fix smaller
sections of the sewer in areas such as Harris Street, Lower Lane and the roads leading to Griswold Elementary School. “It’s essentially putting a new pipe inside an existing

The men recieved the Valor Award for those actions. The crowd stood as the three officers were honored.

Mary then went on to serve on many local committees and boards, including the Kensington Volunteer Ambulance Service (for 13 years), a founder and head coach for the cheerleading program of Berlin Midget Football, a past treasurer of the Berlin Little League, founded Parent Advocate Berlin-Central CT Learning Disabilities, Berlin VNA President of the Board of Directors, Treasurer of the Berlin Democratic Town Committee and was a board member of the Berlin Chamber of Commerce. In September 1985, along with her business partner and best friend, Marion Sqroi-Varano, they founded Accounts Management, Inc.
at a time when women business owners were the exception. From small beginnings in the basement of her home their business grew into a highly regarded company specializing in tax consulting, bookkeeping and investments. Her service only grew from there when she became one of the founding members of the National Association of Tax Professionals- CT Chapter, member NY/CT Association of Tax Professionals. Mary is survived by her four children James Aresimowicz Jr., Joseph Aresimowicz and his wife Crystal, Shelly Peterson and her husband Timothy, and Sherry Rice and her husband Sam; her beloved grandchildren Michael, Ryan and Katie Aresimowicz, Jamie Peterson, and Adam and Eli Rice;

Catherine G. Schmitt of Berlin died unexpectedly on May 12, 2012 in Lisbon, Portugal. She was 80 years old. She leaves her husband of 55 years, Norman Schmitt, three sons and their wives, Robert Schmitt and Margo Strawderman of Berryville, Va., Thomas Schmitt and Sheila Cole-Schmitt of Greenwood, Minn., and Raymond and Karen Schmitt of Rye, N.Y. She was exceptionally proud of her seven grandchildren, Adrienne Sizemore of Winchester, Va, Benjamin and Michael Schmitt of San
er of her grandchildren, Adrienne, Benjamin and Michael. Although she graduated from Teachers College of Connecticut in 1954 with high honors, and enjoyed her business education teaching experiences, she always considered her greatest accomplishment to be the wonderful life and unwavering love she gave to her husband, children and family. She was a compassionate friend and beloved by all who knew her. Some of these still active friendships extend back 75 years to a group that began
in kindergarten. Catherine left this life while doing what she loved, cruising the world with her husband and friends. Services were held with a funeral mass on May 21, 2012 at the Church of the Holy Spirit, Newington. Burial followed in the Maple Cemetery in Berlin. The family requests that, in lieu of flowers, friends make contributions to the Jimmy Fund in Catherine’s name. To light a candle or send a condolence, please visit www.FarrellFuneralHome.com.

Flags for veterans Submitted by Edwin Mercier
Boy Scout Troop 41, sponsored by Bethany Covenant Church, recently visited Gettysburg National Military Park in Gettysburg, Pa. Scouts and leaders hiked a substantial portion of the park, marching to, and exploring, famous battle locations such as Cemetery Ridge and Little Round Top, along with some of the many skirmish sites found throughout the park. They also reenacted the last charge of the Confederate Army, on day three of the battle, now famously known as Pickett’s Charge. The troop also visited Soldiers National Cemetery, Gettysburg National Military Park Museum and Eisenhower National Historic site.
Members of the Suburban Woman’s Club of New Britain/Berlin are shown preparing for their project “Flags on the Green” last year which will be continued again this year on Memorial Day. Flags will be placed on the green on Franklin Square in memory of, or in honor of, veterans for whom the flags are purchased. From left, is last year’s committee: Virginia Phillips, Sylvia Rulkowski, Christine Stanlonis, Carolyn Dalena, Dorothy Salvio, Stacey Rulkowski, Patricia Maerz and Kathleen Yuskis.

After shaky regular season, BHS baseball looking for redemption in state tournament By Nick Carroll The Berlin Citizen
In baseball-crazy Berlin, simply qualifying for the state tournament is no cause for celebration. However, last week the town breathed a sigh of relief as the Redcoats – who have struggled this spring – punched their ticket to the postseason. With that hurdle crossed, May 17, with Maloney in town, Berlin was looking to bolster its tournament standing. Unfortunately for the Redcoats, the Spartans had the same idea. Maloney got 11 hits off Berlin starter Tim Norton and would roll to a 13-6 Central Connecticut Conference South Division victory at Zipadelli Field.
“That’s as well as we’ve hit a good pitcher all year,” said Maloney coach Howie Hewitt. “Timely hits too; big hits in big situations.” Churning out multi-hit games for the Spartans (12-6, 9-4 CCC South) was Lucas Olson, Tyler Donnan, Kevin Hall, Dan Berger, Ted Kuhn and Hector Gonzalez. “They killed us,” Berlin coach Leo Veleas lamented. “Timmy didn’t have command of a lot of his pitches. It was evident. But when he was over the plate, they rocked some balls. They would hit the ball right on the button.” Game-winner Dan Berger was solid on the mound in only his third start. “Today, after a little bit of a shaky start, he settled down beautifully,” said Hewitt. Berger, 3-0 on the year, tossed six
and one-third innings against Berlin (8-10, 7-6). Backed by a sound defense, he scattered five hits, struck out two, walked four and allowed four earned runs. Dallas DeFrancesco saw the Spartans through to the end. A tie game through two innings began to slip away from the Redcoats in the third. The visitors churned out five hits and four runs in the decisive frame to take a 6-2 lead. With Berlin reeling, the Spartans slammed the door in the sixth, as they plated seven runs and knocked Norton out of the game. The starter struck out four and walked five. Norton was replaced by Shane Garfi, who later gave way to Greg Konowski. For the Redcoats, their best inning came in their first at bat. Kyle Naples
had a RBI double and Norton drove in a run with a single to give the home team a 2-1 lead. Trailing 13-3 in the sixth, Berlin pieced together a mini-rally to cut its deficit to seven. Alec Norton doubled in the inning, and Bobby Mozzicato and Mitch Williams each drove in a run. Darren Grabowski and Williams had two hits apiece for the locals. The Redcoats were slated to wrap up their regular season slate Wednesday against Fermi. Then it’s on to the CIAC Class L state tournament. “It’s not over yet. Hopefully we can keep playing,” said Veleas. “We have a lot of young guys out there. We’re trying to get them a little bit of experience.”
Coats’ Notes
Doubles teams thriving; Girls golf suffers first defeat By Nick Carroll The Berlin Citizen
The girls tennis team received another strong performance from its doubles contingent in a 6-1 victory over Maloney. Prevailing in straight sets in doubles play was Meg Pitkin and Kelly Josephson (6-1, 6-2), Stephanie Zembko and Caroline Zembko (6-0, 60) and Emma Johnson and Autumn Edelson (6-3, 6-0). Earning wins for Berlin in singles play was Eva Rybka (6-0, 6-1), Kelly Byrnes (6-1, 60) and Jaclyn Hoffman (6-3, 6-4). The Lady Redcoats went on to top Farmington, 4-3, to improve to 9-5. Rybka provided Berlin’s only singles win, 6-0, 6-2. Thankfully for the locals, their doubles teams picked up the slack. Pitkin and Josephson rolled, 6-0, 6-1, Johnson and Edelson handled their opponents, 6-0, 6-0,
and the Zembko’s sealed the deal with a 4-6, 6-4, 6-4 victory. The boys tennis team continued moving in the right direction with a 5-1 victory over Maloney, its third straight win. With its No. 1 singles player, Dan Rombola, out of action, Berlin was forced to juggle its lineup. The changes didn’t rattle the Redcoats. Picking up victories against Maloney was Peter Hogan (6-3, 6-2), Jack Stafstrom (6-4, 7-6, 7-2), Jaydip Patel (6-3, 6-4), and the doubles teams of Kris Langevin and Brian Kennure (7-6, 8-6, 6-4) and James Wall and Zach Mayer (6-1, 61). Berlin improved to 3-12 with the win. The Redcoats’ hot streak ended with a 4-3 loss to Northwest Catholic. Chalking up wins for the locals was Rombola (7-6, 7-5,

Hogan came up short in his three-hour, three-set match (7-6, 7-3, 4-6, 7-6, 11-9), but BHS coach Rex Smith said it was the junior’s best performance of the season. Freshmen Julia Kemmling and Ashley D’Attilio shot 38 and 40 respectively to lead the undefeated girls golf team to a 168-191 victory over previously unbeaten Hall at Rockledge. Kemmling earned match medalist honors for the seventh time this season. Rounding out Berlin’s scoring against Hall was Victoria Fagan (44), Emily Stickel (46) and Emily-Anne Deutsch (46). “We really needed a good team performance today,” said BHS coach Jim Barnes. “It’s our third time this year to shoot in the 160s, and it never gets old.” The Lady Redcoats improved to 11-0 with a 179-198 victory over Northwest Catholic at Gillette Ridge.
Kemmling was medalist with a 40. Fagan fired a 44, D’Attilio had a 46, and Stickel carded a 49. Berlin went on to suffer its first loss of the year, a 155-166 decision to undefeated Farmington at Tunxis Plantation. Farmington was led by Jenn and Kelly Whaley. The sisters shot 36 and 38 respectively. The Lady Redcoats were paced by Kemmling (38) and Deutsch (39). They were followed by Fagan (43) and D’Attilio (46). Coach Barnes was pleased with how his troops competed. “We battled all the way,” he said. “I told the girls to hold their heads up; 166 is a great team score.” Shannon Murphy netted four goals, and Jenn Straub and Olivia Martino scored three apiece to lead the girls lacrosse team to an 18-4 vic-

Berlin softball puts a scare into Maloney By John Pettit Special to The Citizen
One day after his team lost its bid for perfection, Maloney softball coach Scott Aresco had obvious concerns about how his girls would respond. It turns out that Aresco had very little to worry about. The Spartans bounced back just fine, defeating Berlin 2-1 May 17 at the William E. Dunn Sports Complex. With the victory, Maloney clinched at least a share of just the second CCC South title in school history. Maloney (18-1 overall, 12-1 South) suffered its first loss of the season on May 16, 4-2, versus second-place Bristol Eastern on Thorpe Avenue. “After Wednesday’s game, there wasn’t a dry eye,”
Aresco said. “I wanted them to be loose and I wanted them to play hard against Berlin. I told them, ‘If we’re a good team, we’ll bounce back,’ and we did. It would have been nice to possibly finish 20-0, but now there’s no bull’s-eye on our back. We’re just like the other dozen teams that have one loss.” Maloney started out shaky against the Redcoats. Berlin’s Brittany Labbadia (2-for-4) singled to start the game and was bunted to second. MacKenzie Freeland reached on an error and promptly stole second base, but Spartans pitcher Alle Sabith got a strikeout and pop up to end the inning and calm some nerves. The Spartans scored both of their runs in the bottom of the second off Berlin starter Makayla Harris. Sabith
reached on a one-out error. Colleen Gaffey pinch ran and swiped second. After two outs, Chelsea Schott, Jill Bedard and Lindsey Massicotte — Maloney’s 7, 8 and 9 hitters — rapped consecutive singles, with Schott and Massicotte driving home runs to put their team up 2-0. “We all take pride in our hitting,” the sophomore Massicotte said. “It’s really important to have younger players contribute.” “The bottom of the order has produced many times this year,” Aresco said. “That’s one of the things that has led us to 18 wins. We don’t have a weak spot in the order. We’ve also been a good hitting team with two outs. It’s them never giving up and always fighting.” Berlin cut the lead in half in its fourth. Katherine Burek led off with a double to deep right field and later
scored on Kaitlyn Guild’s RBI single. Maloney looked to tack on an insurance run in the bottom of the frame, but Gaffey was thrown out at home plate trying to score from second on Bedard’s single. It stayed 2-1 the rest of the way, although the Redcoats got something going in their seventh. Kelly Walsh singled with one out and the speedy Labbadia followed with a blooper that found the grass in right field. Massicotte reacted quickly, however, turning the would-be hit into a fielder’s choice by throwing a dart to second for the force out. The game ended when Maloney catcher Taylor Smyth nabbed Labbadia at second on a stolen-base attempt. Berlin moved to 10-5 overall and 6-5 in the South with the loss. Harris is 7-3 in the circle.
“I guess I was hoping Maloney would still be undefeated when we played them because you always want to be the team that knocks them off,” Redcoats skipper Jason Pires said. “Maloney is a good team. They are a veteran team. I didn’t think that because they lost on Wednesday that they were going to fall apart. I expected it to be a good game, and it was. Both pitchers pitched very well. The difference in the game was that they got two-out hits and we didn’t. We had our chances.” Sabith (16-1) allowed seven hits and an unearned run. She fanned six and did not issue a walk. Arielle Virgulto contributed a double and Smyth singled for the Spartans, whose only other conference softball title came in 1990.

Voelpel also clocked season-bests in the 400 (:58) and 200 (26.06), winning both races. The Lady Redcoats’ Nicole Grieco posted a season-best performance in the 3,200, finishing second with a time of 12:50. In other action that day, Berlin’s Briana Cass qualified for the state meet in triple jump (32 feet), and Carly Cohen and Emily Baroni dropped their 3,200 times by nearly 60 seconds.

one,” said Warren Baethge, senior project engineer for Cardinal Engineering Associates. The company was
hired by the town to design the project. Baethge said the liner would last about 50 years. To install the liner, the contractor would not have dig up the sewer line and instead work from above ground.
The pipe will be lined with a plastic reinforced with fiber, according to Simonian. When it is initially put in, the material is soft and liquid like. The plastic is then cured in place. Simonian said the work
must be done at night during the summer. At night, less wastewater is traveling in the pipes. Snow can cover the manholes during the winter. The project will take one to two years to complete, he said.
