150th Anniversary

Berlin’s compelling Civil War history recounted By Cathy Nelson Special to The Citizen

(The following information is from presentations at The Berlin-Peck Memorial Library by Cathy Nelson, assistant director and local historian.) It’s 150 years later, yet the Civil War — or as it was then known, the War of Rebellion — still fascinates us. Recently, my husband and I visited Fort Sumter – very interesting trip. I had not realized that the issues around Fort Sumter had been simmering for several months, since December 1860, and then… Sunday, April 14, 1861 The first shots in the Southern rebellion or war between the states had been fired. The line in the sand

had been crossed. The War of Rebellion had begun. At Kensington Congregational Church, people took immediate action. “Rev. Hilliard was standing at the door of the church when Mr. Samuel Upson, Citizen photos by Olivia L. Lawrence church member and village postmaster, A scrapbook page about the flag came in, bringing at Kensington Congregational the news that Fort Church. Sumter had been fired upon. The story goes 1909 and also Connecticut that Rev.

Who kept the faith

The hand-sewn Civil War era flag on display at the Kensington Congregational Church.

Local Marine befriended Iwo Jima flag-raiser By Nick Carroll The Berlin Citizen

“Who kept the faith and fought the fight; The glory theirs, the duty ours,” goes a quote, by Wallace Bruce, often heard on Memorial Day. The sentiment seems to apply as Maxine Muscatello, 10, places an American flag on a soldier’s grave. Maxine along with other members of Junior Girl Scout Troop 66478, Cadette Troop 66492, and other volunteers, assisted the Berlin Veterans Commission by placing flags at over 400 veterans’ graves in local cemeteries last weekend.

Most everyone has seen the iconic World War II photograph of U.S. servicemen raising the American flag at Iwo Jima. But far fewer are aware that hours before photographer Joe Rosenthal snapped his famous shot on Mount Suribachi, a group of Marines had already erected the stars and stripes there. The guys in Rosenthal’s Pulitzer Prize winning photo were replacing that U.S. flag with a larger one. See Local, page 7

Berlin resident and former Marine Robert Quarti struck up a friendship with one of the original flag-raisers at Iwo Jima, Charles W. Lindberg, pictured in the foreground.

Salina: Town’s AA bond rating affirmed

In a vote of confidence from Wall Street, Standard & Poor’s recently affirmed its bond rating of AA for the Town of Berlin. The rating of AA applies to all General Obligation Bonds guaranteed by the town and allows Berlin to utilize bond proceeds to finance capital projects and make open space acquisitions, when appropriate or necessary, at very low rates of interest. “This represents Standard & Poor’s continued confi-

Berlin’s maintenance of both a strong fund balance and a manageable capital improvement program. Regarding Berlin’s financial outlook, Standard and Poor’s stated, “(T)he stable outlook reflects Standard & Poor’s expectation that the town’s economic and tax bases will continue to steadily grow and diversify, there-

by mitigating potential tax revenue volatility. The outlook also reflects our expectation that the town’s financial position will remain favorable, bolstered by good management practices and policies.” Mayor Salina further commented that, “Berlin’s financial position continues to be solid. Our approach to debt

service has been to pay it off as quickly as possible and that has helped to secure this very favorable rating. This rating is particularly significant given the large school projects/renovations that are currently underway.” (Information provided by the office of Mayor Adam Salina.)

Continued from page 1 without the aid of sewing machines, made the grand old flag which was hung from the belfry of the church at its completion, and continued to float in the breeze throughout the war,” said Rev. Carleton Hazen. (Quotes from “200th Anniversary of the Kensington Congregational Church”.) The finished flag was 18 feet by 10 feet. It has 33 stars. Hazen said “The flag is still carefully preserved, and is an honored relic which no longer stirs personal or sectional feeling, as in those days of the Civil War, but tells now of a unified country that knows no North or South.” After the war, the flag was displayed in the sanctuary, hanging from the balcony on Memorial Day and on the Fourth of July. In 2002, the flag was restored by the Kensington Congregational Church and put on display in the church parlor. Other enormous flags were made during the Civil War. In Berlin, on public occasions, a large flag hung over the road on Worthington Ridge, purchased by Berlin residents. The flag has 35 stars. For years it was kept by the Galpin family. A newspaper photo shows a parade marching toward the Berlin Town Hall on Worthington Ridge with the flag hanging by ropes in front of the Galpin store on May 2, 1890. In 1859 the 33rd star was added when Oregon joined the Union. On

July 1, 1861 a star was added when Kansas joined the Union. Then on July 1, 1863 a 35th star was added when West Virginia joined the Union. Therefore, the Kensington church flag with 33 stars and the Berlin flag with 35 stars are both Civil War flags. The First Regiments Almost immediately, the men of Berlin responded to the recruitment notices after President Lincoln issued the first notice on April 15, 1861. On April 20, the First Connecticut Infantry assembled with four Berlin men: Private John Connell, Private Henry Cook, Private Curtiss Ralph and Private Bernard Woodford. On April 24, the Third Connecticut Infantry assembled with two Berlin men: Privates Edwin Clark and Fernando Welch. Both of these regiments were for an enlistment of 90 days. Both groups participated in the First Battle of Bull Run on July 21, 1861. The Battle of Bull Run was the first major land battle. The North was shocked by the defeat of its army and it quickly became clear to both sides that the war would be long and take a deadly toll. On July 22, President Lincoln signed a bill that provided for the enlistment of another 500,000 men for up to three years of service.” (From Wikipedia: The first battle of Bull Run – from James A. Rawley, “Turning Points of the Civil War” Lincoln: University of Nebraska Press, 1966.)

Plan to install ball park lights sparks old controversy By Daniel Jackson Special to The Citizen

At its May 17 meeting, the Town Council forwarded a proposal, to install lights on one baseball field at the Bill Petit Little League Complex on Colonial Drive, to the Planning and Zoning Commission for review. Berlin Little League would

like to have the lights installed by August of this year. The lights would be used to hold games later in the evening. This would allow Little League more ability to hold make up games and to host tournaments, said Bill Petit, president of Berlin’s Little League. “The tournament would consist of Berlin teams,” he said.

Little League rules state that, when school is in session, lights must be off at 9:30 p.m. During summer or when school is out, game organizers will not start an inning after 10 p.m. “We’re willing to work with anybody to resolve any questions anyone might have,” Petit said. The Little League organization plans to place four, 60 foot poles at Petit 1, the field to the left of the sports complex situated behind the Senior Center. Musco Lighting, a corporate sponsor of the town’s Little League, has agreed to supply the lights. The 16 lights cost $90,000 to buy and install.

conversation. I’d call him periodically; every few weeks,” said Quarti. Unfortunately, the longdistance buddies never had the occasion to meet. In stoic fashion, Lindberg didn’t mention to Quarti that he was in failing health. “I called that Sunday and his daughter answered the phone. She said he was in the hospital. Right after that, he died,” said Quarti, who keeps in touch with Lindberg’s widow. With all the Iwo Jima flagraisers now deceased, Quarti does his part to spread the word about what occurred on Mount Suribachi. Speaking of World War II veterans in general, Quarti said “I just feel that many of those guys didn’t get the recognition. They did so much. “They gave up everything they had; school, whatever.

counted as deserters. Of the 209 Berlin soldiers, officially 26, or 12 percent, were listed as deserters. This includes those who were drafted and deserted and those for whom there is no information. Ira Gladding Jr. however was in a class by himself.: Ira Gladding Jr., of Berlin Book: 13th Regtiment., Co F. deserted Aug. 20, 1862. His obituary tells the story: Feb. 22, 1914 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Ira Gladding enlisted in 13th Regiment, Company on Feb. 5, 1862. Six months later he deserted. Many years later, after marching in a Memorial Day parade he explained: â&#x20AC;&#x153;That is all a mistake, I never deserted. I was detailed with some others to go aboard a steamboat and oversee the loading of a transport. The men went off and left me and I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t find the Army. I never deserted.â&#x20AC;? He spent 41 years in various state prisons for forgery, robbery and other crimes. Prison life held no terrors for him, as no sooner was he out of jail, then he started anew on a career that was sure to land him in jail. His most sensational crime was the theft of a package containing $30,000 from a New York hotel. He served 14 years in Wethersfield prison where he worked in the shoe shop. After his release, he was walking along the street when he met the prison custodian and said â&#x20AC;&#x201C; â&#x20AC;&#x153;I need a pair of boots, and think Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve helped make enough boots and shoes at the prison that you could afford to give me a pair.â&#x20AC;? The man refused. That night Gladding climbed over the wall of the prison, broke into the shoe shop, and stole a pair of boots. He was arrested a few days later and had the boots on when apprehended. He was convicted of breaking into prison and sentenced to serve another term. (Next week: The diary of Henry Sage from his Civil War days.)

Orchard Road subdivision proposes ‘green living’ plan By Olivia L. Lawrence The Berlin Citizen

A plan to create a green subdivision on 125 acres, with a main entrance off Orchard Road, is slowly taking shape. The developer says the intent, at Summerlin Trails, is to create a quality, environmentally sensitive, energy-efficient place to live. The houses are “not huge, the McMansion era is over — far over,” said Johnny Carrier, architect and vice president of J.F.C. Endeavors Inc, a division of By Carrier Inc. He is the second generation of Carriers in the housing development business. At least 60 single-family houses are planned. The house would: have at least three bedrooms with an addi-

tional room for a computer room or nursery; be between 2,500 and 3,000 square feet; and cost in the range of $425,000 to $525,000. The development is “in the very beginning stages,” Carrier said explaining that the project first needs to be reviewed for sewer and water access. “We’ve had initial meetings with the town staff to lay the ground work. It’s been very informal.” The town’s planning department Director Hellyn Riggins said she had not received an application from the Carrier project and therefore has no comment. A hard copy of the proposal is available at the town’s development services office See Plan, page 19

Berlin band hits high note during Disney visit By Shannon Williams Special to The Citizen

At 10 a.m. April 30, the Berlin High School Redcoat Band stepped onto Main Street, USA in Magic Kingdom. In front of tourists from around the globe, BHS musicians paraded up Main Street to Cinderella’s castle and out through Frontierland playing Estancia, a number from the school’s half-time show. Drum major Natalie Von Achen, a senior, reflected on the band’s performance. “The most rewarding part of the trip for me was the completion of the parade. I could see the looks on everyone’s faces when we finished. Everyone was proud of what we accomplished.” Band members had a right to feel satisfied. Although it was relatively cool weather for Florida, march-

ing a half-mile in 80-degree heat in wool uniforms is an arduous feat for anyone. Freshman Karen Baldus said “It was hot and so were the uniforms, but we were able to overcome it.” Senior Nick Crenella echoed this sentiment. “The most difficult part of the trip was marching in the parade. While the route wasn’t long, maintaining good marching posture and tonal quality in the stifling heat and humidity was challenging. But through our determination, we made it.” The band got a backstage glimpse into the world of professional musicians. Composer, arranger, and Disney staff member Allen Gray led the band in a rigorous musical workshop. The group was treated like professional studio musicians and developed vital musical skills. Crenella said, “Being

Distance, and Trust in Me. For the grand finale, the group performed a medley from Tarzan and set it to a video trailer for the movie. This assignment required precise timing, swift stylistic changes, and strict focus in order for the music to match with the visual cues in the trailer. Crenella said, “My favorite part was getting to record music to clips from Tarzan. It was like getting a little taste of what it would be like to be a professional orchestral musician for Disney. Knowing that we were recording a soundtrack from an actual movie was both exciting and enjoyable.” At the end of the day Gray and the Disney staff awarded the band with a recording of the trailer and a photo montage set to the pieces it recorded. BHS band Director Mark Bowling praised his students for their efforts. “Not even professional musicians march a parade and record a soundtrack on the same day. That was phenomenal.” This trip would not have been possible without the contributions of countless

Local Dems support Murphy bid Mayor Adam Salina, state Rep. Joe Aresimowicz, Democratic Town Committee Chairman Fred Jortner and Democratic State Central Committeeman Kevin Murphy announced their support for Chris Murphy’s campaign for United States Senate this week. Murphy announced his candidacy in January in a bid to replace retiring Senator Joe Lieberman. Murphy has raised $1.1 million and won endorsements from Democrats throughout the state. “I am so grateful to have the support of these four Berlin leaders,” Murphy said. “Our campaign is growing an unmatched team of local supporters around the state. Whether it was knocking off a 14 year incumbent state representative at age 25, or upsetting Nancy Johnson in 2006, I’ve learned that tough races are won at the grassroots level, and that’s where we’re building the strength of our campaign.”

Salina said “I’ve seen him fighting hard for the towns he represents next door in the Fifth District and I know he will do the same for us.”

Aresimowicz said “I know he will be a great senator for Berlin and Southington and I am proud to be supporting him.”

Celebrating 15 Years Of Local History

All this summer, take a trip through time with The Berlin Citizen — a special retrospective starts next week in our June 2 edition. The Citizen series will feature our local news coverage of the community over the years. Each week we’ll take a look back at stories that took place during that same week over time – the headlines and top events, sports highlights and small stories, too. It should be an interesting excursion. We anticipate that some stories may show that “the more things change the more they stay the same”, while others may shake loose memories of news events you’ve forgotten. Some may make you laugh or even give you a sentimental shiver. We’re looking forward to researching “the way we were” and hope you enjoy the results.

opment and will not be touched. The layout will buffer the wetlands area and maintain the wildlife corridors. “We’ll make the development fit the property,” Carrier said. The company has developed other green subdivisions, for example, in Farmington near the Farmington River. The Berlin property sits just west of the Amtrak line. Besides the Orchard Road entrance, there would be an emergency entrance on Metacomet Drive. The development’s design would have “flow” and consist of areas of housing interwoven with areas of trees. The narrower roads would not have a curb and this would help conserve water, Carrier said. Emergency services need wider roads; however, the lawns would be designed with a reinforced strip that would allow vehicles to drive over them with-

out damage. Roads would be maintained by the homeown-

ers association and would not be owned by the town.

Celebrating Our Success Ms. Liz is a 82 year young gal that up till several months ago lived at home alone. After several years of putting it off, she finally decided to have the long awaited heart surgery. After a very medically complicated post operative stay at the hospital we met Liz not really knowing if she was coming to us for short term or long term care. In her own words: There have been many ups and downs but I have to say all the staff is great. I want to come back and visit but not stay over night. There are so many nice people here I wish I could take a few home with me. Thank you for letting me go home!

at Town Hall. If all went well, the project could begin construction in 18 months, Carrier said, adding that it is not uncommon for the process to take up to five years before obtaining approval. Carrier said developers held a meeting with all abutters who were within 200 feet of the proposed project. Some of the features that make the project “green” are open space, trails, a rain barrel collection system, a rain garden, native plantings, narrower roads and permeable sidewalks, as well as energyefficient construction. Owners can opt for other energy enhancements such as solar and geo-thermal systems. The Energy-Star houses would use natural gas. Carrier said he studies statistics on energy savings of various systems in order to advise buyers of what will work best

for their needs. Among the design concerns developers expect to address with the town is lot size. Carrier said Berlin’s regulations do not allow for density in this zone and require one acre lots. However, developers want to trade off slightly smaller lots in order to provide more open space. “I’ve been doing this for 16 years and people don’t want the bigger lots” to mow and care for and would prefer to have “more open space around,” he said. The Summerlin project would site houses on a minimum half-acre lot to threequarters of an acre, frontage would be about 80 feet minimum to 100 feet average. Carrier said the site has several natural protections. The original parcel was 160 acres of farmland, however, the owner kept 35 acres. In addition, there is a mountain zone with old-growth forest that is not suitable for devel-

Casner responded to an accident at the southern end of the turnpike. Standing by the side of the road that night, Feb 2, 1985, he was hit by an intoxicated driver. Casner was 22. The news was “unbelievable” to McCormack, friend of Casner and fellow police officer. According to McCormack, the driver was arrested and charged. But before he could be sentenced, he died in a car accident. McCormack volunteered with Casner in the Volunteer Kensington Ambulance. Every day, Casner would ride the ambulance and every night he would don the police uniform. “He was one of the most energetic people I have ever met,” McCormack said. “He loved being a police officer.” The Jeffery G. Casner Award is given annually to those officers at the forefront of the department for “driving under the influence” arrests, in addition to providing the highest level of patrol services in their assigned districts throughout the town.

Coats’ Notes

At press time, the Berlin High School baseball team owned a record of 14-3. Win No. 14 came Sunday, a 9-0 thrashing of Bulkeley at Zipadelli Field. Mike Perno was the gamewinner, and Brendan Germano and Zach Zulkiewicz powered the Redcoats at the plate. Zulkiewicz had a three-RBI homer. Due to the recent wet weather, the Berlin High School softball team was scheduled to play six games in six days. At press time,

the Lady Redcoats had prevailed in the first three games of that set. It has been a rugged stretch, but Coach Jason Pires said “the weather has not had a bad impact on our performance. That is all credit to the kids, who have persevered through the conditions to succeed.” Berlin played two games during senior prom weekend — Saturday morning and Sunday night. Pires pointed out, even that “didn’t affect the players ability to per-

Girls tennis claims division title With a 7-0 victory over Middletown last week, the Berlin High School girls tennis team secured the Central Connecticut Conference South Division championship. It’s the program’s first conference title in five years. The Lady Redcoats improved to 13-1 form.” The Lady Redcoats’ Brittany Labbadia, Paige Owens, Stephanie Lapierre and Monique St. Jarre have excelled as of late, but Pires said, “honestly, everyone is doing very well right now. Hopefully we can keep it up.” Berlin (13-4) can clinch the Central Connecticut Conference South Division title with a win over Bristol Central tonight, May 26. Still perfect. The Berlin High School girls golf team topped Newington, 173-206, last week at Timberlin to improve to 11-0. The Lady Redcoats, ranked No. 1 in the state, were led by Alyssa Scheyd’s 39. The senior’s round — her first sub-40 performance of the season — included a pair of birdies. “I knew it was just a matter of time before she broke the magic 40 barrier,” BHS coach Jim Barnes said. “Alyssa has all of the talent necessary to consistently break into the 30s. Now that she has the ‘breaking 40 monkey’ off her back — watch out. She is going to be very tough to beat.”

Veteran coaches join Capodice’s staff By Nick Carroll The Berlin Citizen

John Capodice has bulked up his staff. The Berlin High School football coach announced Friday that Rob Levesque and Rocky Gagliardi have been brought on. The duo will oversee the Redcoat defense, among other duties. Levesque played at BHS and later assisted Capodice. The past couple of

seasons he coached at Southington. Berlin would scrimmage Southington when Levesque was with the Blue Knights. “I’d always tease him and say ‘you look a lot better in red’,” said Capodice. “We’re just happy to have him back home.” Gagliardi is another well-known commodity in Connecticut football. In recent years he has held coaching positions at New Britain, Plainville, Cromwell and Hartford Public. He worked at the college level as well. Gagliardi’s enthusiasm is his

trademark. “He was someone that I jumped at pretty quickly, just because I know his character, how hard he works, and his passion for football,” Capodice said. “I don’t know anybody who loves football more than that guy … I know we’re all going to feed off his passion.” Capodice said Gagliardi is thrilled to have become a Redcoat — and for good reason. The BHS football program’s long resume includes a state title in 2009 and Central Connecticut Conference division championships

in 2009 and 2010. “I’m ecstatic. I’m excited,” Capodice said of the addition of Levesque and Gagliardi. “I’m real selective in who I bring onto our staff. I make sure it’s a real good fit for the kids and the program.” The BHS football team’s previous defensive coordinator, Josh Rosek, has joined the coaching staff at Middletown. Spring football practice begins May 31.

The Berlin Citizen — Thursday, May 26, 2011 Jud (41). With time running out to do so, last week the Berlin High School boys track and field team chalked up its first victory of the season. The Redcoats defeated The Morgan School, 88-61, at BHS. Connor Hilbie and Jake Cyr had a big day for Berlin. Hilbie won the 1,600 and 3,200, while Cyr bested the field in shot put and discus. The Berlin High School girls track and field team closed out the regular season last week with a 99-44 victory over The Morgan School at BHS. The Lady Redcoats improved to 7-2 with the win.

We’re fighting kidney cancer with robotics The Hospital of Central Connecticut is using advanced robotic surgery to treat kidney cancer, as well as non-cancerous kidney disorders including urinary blockages. The robot’s tiny little tools allow our highly experienced surgeons to make the smallest possible incisions, and to more easily access difficult-to-reach areas. Patients may recover faster, have fewer side effects, and experience less pain and scarring. For more information, visit www.thocc.org/robotics. For a physician referral, call 800-321-6244.
