Investigation finds farm house fire ‘intentional’ By Olivia L. Lawrence The Berlin Citizen
Parker Adam Rossi Scott and Melissa Rossi of Berlin announce the birth of their son, Parker Adam, on Feb. 19, 2011 at the Hospital of Central CT. He joins his brother, Maxwell, 2. Parker’s maternal grandparents are Stanley and Elizabeth Smolski of Berlin and his paternal grandparents are Ardo and Elizabeth Rossi of West Palm Beach, Fla. The Citizen appreciates Parker’s help in wishing his Dad — and all the dads, grandads, uncles, and other great male role models in our lives — a wonderful Father’s Day this Sunday, June 19.
Deputy Fire Marshal Matt Odishoo says an investigation into the cause of an early morning fire June 11 on Southington Road has been categorized as intentional. The Berlin Police Department and the fire marshal’s office are asking anyone who may have information to call the Connecticut Arson Reward Tip Line at (800) 84ARSON or (800) 842-7766. A reward of up to $2,500 may be paid for information leading to an arrest. The incident, at 57 Southington Road, gutted a small farm house, which sits on 18 acres. The property is known as Apple Hill Farm. For nearly 60 years, owner Elizabeth Orzakowski operated the farm, including a farm stand. She died in 2009. The residence has been vacant for about a year and was empty except for a bed and a refrigerator. Berlin’s four fire departments, and an area
town Task Force of fire services, responded to the scene. A tanker from Westfield was used to bring water from Timberlin Golf Course. Access to water was the biggest
obstacle firefighters faced, Odishoo said. Odishoo said the fire was called in about 6:07 a.m. but

Farmers Market organizers plan to open for fifth year Despite late start, market can thrive if people pitch in By Olivia L. Lawrence The Berlin Citizen “We can’t let it fizzle,” said Dr. Ann Aresco, of the Berlin Farmers Market that launched five years ago this summer. A naturopathic physician, with a Berlin practice, Aresco stressed how important it is for residents to have an opportunity to buy produce from local farmers in Connecticut. “The Farmers Market still needs volunteers,” Aresco said, adding that a call must go

out to the community to bolster its support of the project. Access to fresh, locally grown food is one of the fundamentals of good health, she said. “The bigger the market, the better for the community. The community needs that.” Market Master Jim Roby said he is working to get the market off the ground this year but needs more help. “I want it to move forward, it’s the passion of my heart. But it takes a lot of time and energy.” Roby said he plans to “get it going before the end of June…people will be disappointed if it doesn’t happen.” Roby said he continues to be the “point man” for coordinating the effort, although he does have a few solid supporters from the Northeast Organic Farmers

We do have a lot of traffic without baseball because of the senior activity. It’s an inconvenience, but for a very short period of time,” Margo Wright said. Kari Drost, a member of the Town Council, addressed the committee as a member of the Berlin Little League and a resident and not in her council role. “The lights will not only benefit the town, but will come as zero cost to the tax payers,” Drost said. “I’m sure the intention of the lights is to hold a tourna-

Joseph Porcaro voiced strong opposition to night games. “My opinion is that these night time lights will create a venue for tournaments,” Porcaro said. “They are a luxury item to create more revenue. The field was constructed for the children of Berlin to play baseball. They were not intended to have out of town teams participate for night tournaments.” Porcaro also stressed the traffic increase that will occur, especially at night. “No one goes to a baseball game to be quiet. There is a noise source here that is a significant issue,” he said. Darryn McKeon said, “Baseball is a fun game, and I wouldn’t lie to you, I’ll have a

ning and Zoning Commission meeting June 9. About 40 residents showed up to give their opinions on the 8-24 review for the installation of lights to one of the fields located at the Bill Petit Little League Complex. The meeting was moved, at the last minute, to McGee Middle School as the storm had knocked out power in several areas of town, including Town Hall. The Little League organization plans to place four, 60 foot poles at Petit 1, the field located behind the Senior Center off Sbona Drive. Bruce Moore, head chairman of the commission, explained the procedure of section 8-24 to the attendees. The lights were brought to the attention of the Town Council by the Parks and Recreation Department and sent to the Planning and Zoning Commission for a recommendation. That recommendation will then go back to the council and, finally, back to PZC under a site plan amendment. At the meeting, Moore

Town to save money on electric bill switch electrical suppliers, a move that will save about $240,000 annually in electricity costs. “Anything we can save with these big ticket items will trickle down,” said Town Manager, Denise McNair.

proached the town about opening bidding for electricity providers to find a better deal on electricity. CCM is a lobbying group that makes up all the towns in Connecticut. Although Berlin’s contract with the current provider, Constellation Energy, does not expire until December 31, 2012, CCM advised the town to sign a contract now because the rates to supply energy is very low. Prices are so volatile that the bidding process was open for only two hours. McNair said energy companies couldn’t hold the prices any longer than that. She compared the price fluctuation to gas prices: changing every day. Town officials had two hours to receive bids and then two hours to decide if they were going to purchase from one of the companies. “It was a lot to take in, in a short amount of time” said Mayor Adam Salina. “We

Association who’ve helped with the project over the years. Still, it’s vital to find others who have the time and enthusiasm to help keep the market going. The Berlin Chamber of Commerce has done what it can to support the market, said Executive Director Kate Fuechsel, and will continue to help by providing publicity to attract vendors and customers. Getting more vendors involved will be a key piece if

the market is to thrive, Aresco said. Aresco noted that the groundwork has been done, the permits are in place and the general organization is set for this year. Now, “we need to set it up and get it going,” she said. The market has been at various locations downtown, but for the past couple of years has found a home in the parking area of the American Legion at the corner of Porters Pass and Massirio Drive. Besides vegetables, the market has offered items such as bread, perennials,
crafts, honey and granola, as well as advice and recipes for those interested in healthier eating. The plan is to “go strong to the fair and then call it a day,” Roby said, adding that the prior schedule, which went to the end of October, was not worthwhile. He said there have been disappointments along the way as some promotional activities didn’t work out as expected, such as a health fair that was attended by less than 100 people. “We need support,” he said.

Residents get hands-on lessons in police work By Melissa Chicker Special to The Citizen
The Berlin Police Department graduated 12 students from its Citizen’s Police Academy during a June 8 ceremony. The academy was developed to help build a positive relationship between police and the community and, through education, to produce a well-informed, knowledgeable citizen. “We try to allow people to look at this organization and to let people see what we do every day,” said Lieutenant Jim Gosselin. The classes took place over a 10-week period. Students received classroom and hands-on instruction
from veteran Berlin officers who work and supervise each section. “No one understands the wide scope of a patrol officer’s activities and this is what the ride-alongs are for,” Gosselin said. Each officer who taught a class developed his or her own PowerPoint programs, photos, lesson plans and learning objectives for students. “It’s good to know the workings of the department and how involved with the community they are,” said graduate Matt Zangari. Students also had an opportunity to take part in an optional ride-along with an officer and each week cov-

ered topics that ranged from: police training to DUI investigation and prosecution; listening to video and audio tapes of crimes; and handson equipment demonstrations, that included how to
shoot a taser gun. “We treated them like students. What surprised me is how attentive they were — their heads were really in the game,” Gosselin said. Shelby Morin, 19, is a
criminal justice major who just received an associate degree from Tunxis Community College. She plans to attend Central Connecticut

lighting will look. “Without a doubt we believe every neighbor should be heard whether they are for or against the project. Through the years Berlin Little League has been an organization that has partnered with the community to keep the children safe and build room to grow,� Biscoglio
said. Biscoglio mentioned the project will cost tax payers nothing, and in fact will save them over $300,000 for what a new field would cost to build. Also, only one field would be illuminated, meaning only half the traffic around during the day will be there at night. A PowerPoint presentation by Musco Sports Lighting showed residents the pro-
posed design and the type of lighting. Dyjak showed how new lighting technology does not spill to surrounding neighborhoods but stays on the field. The lighting is not the type in use at Sage Park. The PZC next meets on June 23 and, at that time, will give the public another opportunity to speak about the issue. The committee will then give its recommendation to the Town Council.

and I see myself here in the future,� she said. Joe Casso, 74, is the oldest graduate of the academy. Although he’s lived in town for 38 years, Casso was surprised to learn the workings of the police department. “I had no concept at all of what they did. All I knew was they stopped people speeding and did DUI checkpoints,� Casso said. “I sleep a lot better at night now knowing what they do.� Casso, and many other graduates, agreed they enjoyed the hands-on activities — the most popular being the ride-along. Larry Papandrea, whose ride-along was a bit quiet, said he was promised another one by the department. “I would recommend this to anyone,� said Kim Woodruff, academy graduate. “Overall it was great.

These two are instrumental in achieving designation.” In recognition for the achievement, the DPH gave Berlin 10 road signs recognizing the HEARTSafe designation.

Kids write to former president and get quick reply
Students in Helen Hastings’ first grade classroom at Griswold Elementary School have been studying presidents and reading biographies about the country’s leaders. As part of the lesson, Hastings instructed the children to write letters to former President George W. Bush. Born in Connecticut, he’s a person with whom they can feel a connection. The children wrote to President Bush in March and received a letter from him in April. “We were very excited to hear back from him,” Hastings said, adding that she thought The Citizen’s readers might enjoy seeing some of the students’ letters. The Citizen agreed. We think the letters are a welcome (and at times amusing) break from the usual public discourse on a president’s life and times. (The letters are presented as written, so remember as you read along that these are first-graders
and, as such, this is a job well done, creative spelling included.) Perhaps this exercise will encourage some students to make a lifelong habit of contacting public officials to share their thoughts and opinions. — The editor

Teacher of the Year Photo by Daniel Jackson
The Board of Education named David Bosso as Teacher of the Year for 2012 at its June 13 meeting. Bosso teaches history at Berlin High School. “I don’t even believe I’m the best teacher in my own house,” he joked during his acceptance speech. Assistant Principal Janet Parlato said “I think that Dave Bosso has earned the respect of his colleagues at the high school and the students at the high school, which is no easy feat.” Bosso travels widely and teaches about different cultures. He had just returned from Ghana the day of the meeting. Read more about Bosso in an upcoming edition of The Citizen.

My snoring was intense. Even after a night’s sleep, I felt exhausted. Like I hadn’t slept at all. My doctor recommended a sleep study at Gaylord Sleep Medicine. They discovered I was having dangerous heart arrhythmias as a result of sleep apnea. The next day, my sleep medicine physician told me that I could have died. Thanks to Gaylord Sleep Medicine, I no longer worry about falling asleep. And the treatment they prescribed has given me the energy to pursue my love of local politics. That simple sleep study probably saved my life! Now I’m truly getting a good, healthy night’s sleep.

Leo Ray Banks
Leo Ray Banks (Aug. 30, 2001-June 6, 2011) although a heartbreaking experience, Leo’s transition began peacefully surrounded by the multitude of family and friends. As he was held in his Mama’s arms in a beautiful garden, drums played and water flowed. Leo passed away early Monday morning at Boston Children’s Hospital, holding hands with his Father, Curtis Banks and snuggling with
his Mama, Valerie Accetura. Leo loved all the children at Willard Elementary School and they loved him. He was in third grade and worked hard at all his “jobs” there. Despite many challenges, through the dedication and determination of the Berlin School Professionals, he learned to walk, ride a bike, feed himself, and dress himself. His beloved Luanys Betts helped Leo everyday for five years, through inclusion and believing, Leo inspired everyone he met. Leo’s greatest passion was music and he was recently featured in Aha! a documentary about the power of the arts in the lives of children

with special needs. He had great natural rhythm and Loves his drumming. Leo was an honorary member of the band FBI and was often found onstage with many local bands, touching the hearts of many. Leo performed onstage in a real rock concert with Imagine Stage Productions last summer. Leo’s summer love is boating on his ‘Captain Leo’s Aqua Therapy’ and ‘daily driver’ on his lake, Leo’s Utopia. Leo had a special love for American Muscle cars and Native American Powwows. He also enjoyed his quad, sledding, kayaking, cuddles, and making mischief. Leo lived life to the fullest, participating happily in everything he did. He loved learning and trying new things, without fear, always with a smile, wanting more. He had many amazing caregivers, family and friends helping his Mom over the years, who implored an ‘out of the box’ method of

Leo also learned to count by tapping his hand to the back of his other wrist, both amazing accomplishments. Leo simply didn’t believe in giving up or giving in. The family of Leo Ray Banks would like to send a special thank you to The Berlin and New Britain Police, the CT State Police Motorcyclists, Robert Chadwick, Bobby Parker and Steve Houle, also Stephanie Blouin Patterson, Julianna Sgro-Sartini, The Son’s of Abraham, Iron Legend, Thug Ryders and Trantolo & Trantolo that escorted Leo on his final ride through blocked streets while in the rain with sirens blaring and The Grunts Veteran Group with American flags flying. Thank you for such a grand tribute to Leo as that is how he rolls. A heartfelt thank you to Erickson-Hansen Funeral Home of New Britain, Pastor Matt McCaffrey of Berlin Congregational Church and Leo’s speakers, Paula RileyFriedman and Nora Matthews, for such wonderful services; as well as the Emma Hart Willard Staff,

We’d also like to offer our warmest appreciation to the many musicians who took part in Leo’s services: Chris Newell, Chris Marolda, Lee-Ann Lovelace, John Ryan, Art Loomer via proxy and Explicit Rock-Band as that is how Leo rocks. We’d like to express our very deepest gratitude to Robert Chadwick, Ernie LaMadeleine, Gina Parker, Carlane Riston, Nancy Renehan-Houle, Nora Matthews and Luanys Betts for handling the many logistical details throughout the week and for their invaluable emotional support through this very difficult time.

A red Honda motorcycle lies crumpled beneath the bumper of a black Chevy minivan, after a serious accident June 7, about 3:45 p.m., at the corner of Berlin and Commerce streets in East Berlin. Berlin police, fire and rescue personnel worked at the scene to determine the cause and to address the injuries of those involved. LifeStar was requested, however both helicopters were already in use and Hunters Ambulance was called. The ambulance took the motorcycle driver, a New Britian man, 22, to Hartford Hospital. According to the Berlin Police Department, the man was seriously hurt but “doing better� by the end of the week. The motorcycle appeared to be shattered and there was a large dent across the hood of the minivan. The driver was wearing a helmet. The minivan was driven by a Berlin woman, 28. Police said the minivan was headed west on Berlin Street and the motorcycle was headed east when the incident occurred. The accident remains under investigation. Police had not released the names those involved at the OIL COMPANY, LLC of time of The Citizen’s pub“Owner Operated Since 1999� lication deadline. or visit “Owner Operated Since 1999�

A late afternoon thunderstorm, June 9, caused fallen trees and electrical failures throughout town and across the state. About 1,300 residents were without power until afternoon the next day. Trees and electric lines were entangled at several sites and roads where these problems occurred were closed temporarily, including the Chamberlain Highway. The photo shows Kensington Road where a huge maple tree fell across the street and took down wires in the area near the intersection with Surrey Lane. That street was closed to traffic while Connecticut Light & Power crews, along with town crews, cleaned up the mess.

State champs look to the future: ‘We’ve still got some shells in the gun’ By Nick Carroll The Berlin Citizen Berlin High School girls golf coach Jim Barnes knew the 2011 Lady Redcoats had a chance to be special. He was sure of it after seeing his players’ reaction to finishing fourth at last year’s state tournament. “No one was happy. The bus ride back was kind of quiet,” Barnes recalled. “You could see the determination in their eyes.” “This past summer up at the golf course you’d see them working; chipping and putting,” the coach said. “I had really high hopes for this season.” Four starters from the ’10 team were back in action this spring, and they certainly lived up to Barnes’ expectations. Berlin would go undefeated, and along the way, capture the Central Connecticut Conference and CIAC state championships. The Lady Redcoats were so dominant this season, that at the CCC tournament, all five of their Citizen photo by Nick Carroll
The defending state champion Berlin High School girls golf team returns four starters in 2012, including incoming junior Emily Deutsch, pictured.
starters — Alyssa Scheyd, Victoria Fagan, Emily Stickel, Emily Deutsch and Caroline D’Attilio — earned all-conference honors. Scheyd, Fagan and Stickel went on to make all-state. Barnes believes one of the secrets to his team’s success was its camaraderie. “They all love each other. They are one tight-knit group of kids,” he said. “They’re just an incredible group of girls, and I hope they had as much fun this year as I did.” Scheyd was Berlin’s lone senior starter and the team’s No. 1 player. Her work this season earned her a spot in the New England tournament, which is slated for next week. Scheyd will continue her career at Lehigh University. “We’ve got some big shoes to fill,” said Barnes. As did Scheyd, juniors Fagan and Stickel had a big year for the Lady Redcoats. Fagan also qualified for the New England tournament. “She has the most beautiful golf swing I have ever seen,” Barnes said. “I don’t think she knows how great she really can be yet.” Stickel was the team’s most consistent player down the home stretch. “You kind of felt that this could be a big year for Alyssa and Victoria, but

As Legion numbers dip, frustration sets in for GM By Nick Carroll The Berlin Citizen
For a “baseball town”, recently, Berlin has had an uncharacteristically tough time getting guys to play at the American Legion level. Anemic numbers forced Post 68 General Manager Rob Manzo to pull the plug on his Junior Legion team this summer. Manzo, in his 14th year at the helm of the Post 68 Seniors, is exasperated. “I’m frustrated, embarrassed. It was a very, very difficult off-season; just with trying to get kids to come play for us. At this point, I just don’t know what’s going on,” Manzo said. “Do we play too much baseball? Do we work too hard? That’s not going to change as long as I’m here, because that’s what I’m here for. This is a developmental program. “It’s about working hard,
showing up every day, and playing as much baseball as you can, at the highest level.” Several Senior players Manzo was counting on to return this year did not. To fill those roster spots, Manzo promoted kids from the Junior club, which left the Juniors short on players. “It’s basically a lack of commitment from the players in town,” Manzo lamented. “It’s frustrating. But we have to move on and try to win some ballgames at the Senior level.” Under Manzo’s watch, Post 68 has claimed two state titles and six zone championships. In 2009, the locals advanced to the American Legion World Series. In the past 14 years, dozens of Post 68 alumni have gone on to play at the college level. Last week, former Post 68 player Jack Wagoner was drafted by the Cleveland Indians. Current pros Kyle
Vazquez (San Francisco Giants) and Jesse Carlson (Toronto Blue Jays) also came through the Berlin Legion system. Despite Post 68’s stellar track record, the past few years, many of the town’s ballplayers have opted to take the summer off, or have joined other teams — teams
with less-stringent schedules. Manzo hopes that, in the future, Berlin players give Post 68 another look, if for no other reason than loyalty to their town. “We can not compete at the Legion level unless we have all the best players that are eligible to play, play Legion
Post 68 alum drafted Former Berlin Post 68 American Legion player Jack Wagoner, a pitcher, was drafted by the Cleveland Indians last week in the 33rd round of the Major League Baseball draft. Wagoner’s journey to the pros was a long and winding one. He attended Berlin High School before transferring to Northwest Catholic. He went on to spend time at Wagoner three colleges: Sacred Heart University, St. Petersburg College and — most recently — Florida Gulf Coast University. At Florida Gulf Coast, Wagoner struck out 81 batters in 92 innings of work, and set a single-season record of nine saves in 2010.
baseball. It’s impossible for us to compete,” said Manzo. “We’re in a cycle right now where not all the best players in town are playing Legion baseball, for one reason or another. I feel like some of these guys just don’t want to challenge themselves. I challenge some of these kids to come to one of our practices; I’ll show you what we can do for you.” UPDATE: At press time, Berlin Post 68 was undefeated in Zone 3 at 2-0. The locals churned out 15 hits and topped East Haddam, 6-1, in their zone opener. Austin Barnes pitched a complete-game two-hitter. The game-winner also had a good day at the plate. Barnes manufactured three hits, as did Will Matuszak. Brendan Germano had two hits and three RBI. Berlin then bested East

Voelpel seventh at New Englands
For breaking news go to our website: www.berlincitizen.com
Berlin High School track and field star Catherine Voelpel finished seventh in the 400 at the New England championships, held Saturday in Vermont. The sophomore’s time of 57.70 narrowly topped her previous school record. “This meet caps a wonderful season for her and sets the stage for a great next two years,” BHS coach Steve Soucy said. “I think the next goal is going to be to make it
to nationals next year.” At the outset of the season, Soucy envisioned Voelpel clocking times in the 58.50 range this year, and in the high-57s in 2012. “But she worked tremendously hard this year and really did every workout we challenged her with and pushed herself to the max,” the coach said. “I couldn’t be more proud of how she ran and how she handled running in these big spots, at such a young age.”

Local golfers John Stepensky III and Josh Paldino helped lead Kingswood-Oxford to the 2011 Founders League title. Stepensky was medalist with a 73. Paldino carded a 75. The match was played at Oak Ridge Golf Club in Massachusetts. With the win that day, Kingswood-Oxford also secured the KIT Invitational and New England titles.
Emily — she just exceeded all expectations,” said Barnes. “Every year she gets better and better, and keeps grinding away.” Deutsch and D’Attilio are sophomores who played beyond their years. Deutsch carded Berlin’s low round of the spring, a 38, and D’Attilio routinely put up scores in the 40s. Incoming senior Erika Park also turned in some good work this season. “This girl could be a No. 1 or 2 for
probably about 80 percent of the teams in our conference,” said Barnes. “She’s that good.” Losing Scheyd will sting, but with a crop of proven players returning, and some talent coming up, the Lady Redcoats should be tough in 2012. “We’ve got the nucleus of a great team next year. I’m optimistic,” said Barnes. “We’ve still got some shells in the gun.” Barnes knows the success of the BHS girls golf program is no accident, and is grateful to those who support

Berlin’s young players. “We are so blessed to have a town that recognizes the importance of youth golf, and that allows us the kind of access we get to Timberlin,” he said. Head Professional “Marc Bayram and his staff down there have just been magnificent to us … They treat these girls like royalty.” In a poetic scene, when the BHS golfers arrived back at Timberlin after winning the state title, one of the town’s
young stars, eighth-grader Julia Kemmling, was there, at the driving range. The tradition continues. “It’s like the circle of life,” said Barnes.
