Director who modernized library retires

A touching experience

By Daniel Jackson Special to The Citizen

Mystic Aquarium brought its “touch tanks” to the Berlin-Peck Memorial Library last week. The event was one of many special programs the library has planned for children over the summer. Above: children handle sea stars and crabs in one of the touch tanks. (See story, page 6.)

Sara Munson, director of Berlin-Peck Memorial Library, retired July 2 after 10 years of service. Munson is recognized for her work to expand the library collection and bring the library into the 21st century.

“She was able to bring Peck equal to or ahead of any library in the state” said Elizabeth Bennett, vice-chairman of the LiMunson brary Board. “Libraries are growing; they’re not just a place to check out a couple books anymore.”

Now Munson must be replaced and the next step is to form an an interview panel. That group will include members of the library board, the town’s human resources director and a library director from another town. It will makes a recommendation for a new director to the town manager who appoints department heads.

Munson was on vacation and could not be reached for comment.

Before Munson took over operations, “things were in a lull,” Bennett said. Drawing from a minimal budget and facing the onslaught of new technology, the library was lan-

Lillian Bolin memorialized with special needs registry

By Olivia L. Lawrence The Berlin Citizen The Berlin Police Department introduced the “Lillian Bolin Memorial Special Needs Registry” with a ceremony at town hall Monday.

Bolin’s family attended and talked about how this tribute to their matriarch, who died in a fire at her Butternut Lane home in March 2009, may help save a life someday.

Police Chief Paul Fitzgerald presented the family with a plaque and introduced the new program which will be “a powerful tool” in making sure emergency workers are aware

when the call comes in, that a person with a disability may need extra assistance.

Bolin’s son, Jay Smith, said Officer David Cruickshank, who was the first responder to the fire, deserved the credit for “formulating the idea” of the registry. He and his wife Diane Smith, along with their son Andy, attended.

“We’ve honored Lillian in a way that anyone (would be pleased about) and will help us save lives,” Cruickshank said. He recalled holding Bolin’s hand and talking to her shortly after she was

The Berlin Citizen — Thursday, July 22, 2010

Town seeks to buy 44 acres from Girl Scouts used the property for many years, the organization wanted to assure that the land would be preserved as open space to conserve the property’s unique natural characteristics.

The town is interested in acquiring the property to expand its open space holdings and the Berlin Land Trust acted as an intermediary to facilitate the purchase agreement.

“Through a collaborative partnership of the Town of Berlin, the Berlin Land Trust and the Girl Scouts of Connecticut, Inc. we are trying to preserve this important parcel for future generations and to take an important step toward linking Bicentennial Park and the Hatchery Brook Conservation area. The town has applied for an Open Space

Grant from the State and if we receive this grant we will be able to buy the property with funds already bonded for the purpose of buying open space,” Salina said.

The purchase is contingent on the town receiving a state Open Space grant and on approval of the purchase and the funding by the Town Council.

Berlin Land Trust President Dennis Kern said, “This is a wonderful opportunity for the town. We would like to thank the Connecticut Girl Scouts for their commitment to the preservation of land in its natural state. This wooded land adjacent to Bicentennial Park and the Hatchery Brook Conservation Area enlarges our open holdings in the area while it helps to connect these two larger parcels. Large con-

Gardeners pointed out a number of innovations that they or their gardening neighbors had used. For instance, one woman had set out shallow cups of beer in order to catch slugs. And one man explained how he used newspaper and straw as mulch to deter weeds.

The Hatchery Brook Community Garden, in its second year of operation, is in full growth mode at high summer. Several gardeners were at work there on a recent midJuly morning, pumping water, staking tomatoes and harvesting the early yield.

Among those tilling the land was Tina Doyle, director of the senior center. The senior center farms one of the approximately 30 plots at the site. Doyle said she and several staff membes share garden chores such as watering and weeding. The goods go back to the senior center where members can “help themselves to the produce,” Doyle said, adding that already the garden has yielded yellow squash, basil and cabbage.

Some seniors bring in produce from their own gardens to share with others.

“I give a lot of it away,” said one gardener, who did not wish to give his name. He

nected pieces of land are advantageous both for preservation and for passive recreation such as hiking.”

Rival said “Guide dogs for the blind don’t wear muzzles.

I will not put a muzzle on the most well-behaved dog on the planet. What a great picture that is for blind advocacy — a guide dog with a muzzle.”

Rival’s veterinarian Dr. David Hester of the Animal Hospital of Berlin, wrote a letter on Barkley’s behalf and stated: “Barkley has been a patient of mine for nearly three years. In that time I have never seen a trace of aggression. As expected for a Lab and a guide dog, he has always exhibited friendly, consistent behavior, whether on-duty or off.”

Rival said she was asked to sign “quarantine papers” delivered by Lund, but that she was unable to read them

ny which then called Berlin Animal Control.

Animal Control Officer Jan Lund said it was the first time she’d dealt with a guide dog bite. But in any case, she “went by the book.” The dog was up to date on all vaccinations. According to Lund, Dr. Lis modified a two week quarantine order to allow Rival to take the dog off the property to go out on necessary errands as long as the dog wore a muzzle.

Connors said modifying quarantine is “never done” but the department was responding to the unique circumstances. Rival said she is asking for a hearing by the agriculture department to have the ban lifted and “to get the black mark off the dog.”

A woman is protesting a two-week home quarantine of her guide dog by authorities after the animal inadvertently bit a delivery man.

Elizabeth Rival said she is totally blind and uses a guide dog when she leaves her house. “I won’t put up with this mark on my dog,” she said of Barkley, a black Lab. Rival said she’s working with Seeing Eye of Morristown, N. J., to advocate for her and the dog and “to change the law.” Rival is president of the National Federation of the Blind of Connecticut.

“I am so sympathetic to her,” said Raymond Connors, state animal control officer and supervisor of the animal control division for the state Department of Agriculture. Connors’ father was blind and Connors said he is sensitive to the situation and understands “she needs the dog to function.”

“We want to work this out and see if there is something we can do to help her.” Connors said he has to work within the statutes and, by law, a dog must be quarantined either on the property

or off the property depending on where the bite took place.

In 26 years on the job, Connors said he has not encountered this situation. He talked with “everyone in the agency” in an attempt to come up with solutions. Connors said state veterinarian Dr. May Jane Lis is in communications with the director of Seeing Eye to try and resolve Rival’s concerns.

“We want to see if there is something we can do to help her,” Connors said.

July 9 a delivery driver from Valley Oil, of Portland, received a minor bite on his finger, from the dog, that broke the skin. The driver had been playing Frisbee with the dog when the bite occurred. The driver reported the incident to his compa-

Police commission gets input from around the town

By Olivia L. Lawrence The Berlin Citizen

The police commission has been taking its meetings on the road in order to give residents a chance to have their say in a comfortable, less formal setting.

“I think every board and commission should be as open and available to citizens as possible,” said Chairman Bob Peters. He said the panel has been offering meetings outside the confines of the police department as that site can be difficult for residents to access.

However, it does have the advantage of having files and other records readily available.

Peters said the commission is trying to find a permanent place for its meetings that is more residentfriendly. In the meantime, the commission has met re-

cently at the East Berlin fire house and at the VFW. Last year, it held meetings at the commuPeters nity center and later this year would like to bring the forum to the senior center and also a South Kensington site.

Some people won’t come to meetings at the police station, Peters said. Meetings are held every third Wednesday of the month. The commission will not be in session during August.

The commission has five members, selected by general election, who serve four year terms. Not more than three of whom can be of the same political party. Besides Peters, a Republican whose term expires in 2011, the commission currently con-

sists of: Paul N. Eshoo, Republican, term expires 2013; Anthony G. Letizio, Democrat, term expires 2011; and Joseph T. Annunziata, Democrat, term expires 2013.

“We are civilians elected to oversee the operations of the police department,” Peters said.

Each meeting begins with an audience of citizen, when people can comment and the commission runs its meetings with enough informality that people can be heard during the meeting, as well, Peters said. “We allow the citizens to ask a question or make a comment. We’re not New York, we’re a small town.”

Peters talked about input the commission heard during its traveling meetings.

For example, East Berlin “had concerns about traffic and speeding that we didn’t know about” and more en-

forcement in the area was arranged, he said.

About 20 people showed up to the VFW meeting. Peters said they had a variety of comments, often traffic related. One complaint was about the lack of sidewalks for those accessing Stop & Shop on Massirio Drive. As luck would have it, Peters said, the town had immediate plans to build sidewalks on that road.

In terms of other complaints, it is often possible to find a solution to traffic issues, he said. Some complaints may not fall within the domain of the police commission, but it is still an opportunity to hear what’s on residents’ minds and to direct them to the board or commission that does oversee their concerns.

“We got a lot of good information,” Peters said.

All complaints and concerns, even about police officers, are welcomed by the commission, Peters said.

“Sometimes people are afraid to report misconduct. We want to make it clear to peo-

ple that they can come and talk to us that there will be non repercussions.”

It’s important to dispel even the perception that there could be repercussions for making a complaint about the department, Peters said.

“We’re happy to have the input and the exchange,” he said.

Guide dog Continued from page 3 as they were not in Braille.

While Rival’s husband was home at the time, he was talking to the oil company and was unable to assist her, she said. Subsequently, Rival took the paperwork to the state Board of Education and Services to the Blind and received a Braille copy.

Rival said there was no investigation into the incident and asked “Is it possible that a guide dog for the blind did not attack the oil delivery driver?”

“I did investigate,” Lund said adding that the incident is being regarded as an accident and that the driver reported the incident but is not making a complaint.

Attempts by The Citizen to reach Valley Oil and its cor-

porate headquarters in New Jersey, by telephone and email, were unsuccessful.

Rival called the quarantine “a grievous mistake” and said “because Barkley is quarantined, I am quarantined. I have essentially been locked in my house for two weeks.”

Rival said she refuses to take the dog out with a muzzle and that the dog “will shut down and not work” if it’s muzzled. However, she “won’t go against the paperwork” that has been issued.

Connor said the situation “is not a vicious dog incident”, but once the driver reported the incident “the wheels were set in motion”.

While officials must work within the law, “the incident is not being view as black and white,” Connors said.

Aquarium brings the sea to town

By Maura Gaffney Special to The Citizen

In keeping with its aquatic summer reading theme, “Make a Splash – Read!”, the Berlin-Peck Memorial Library hosted a Mystic Aquarium Touch Tank event July 13.

Sea stars, oysters, shore crabs, spider crabs and a horseshoe crab were among various sea creatures Mystic Aquarium employees brought to the library. Children were encouraged to touch and hold the creatures after learning the proper way to handle them.

“These types of events are great for kids, especially those who live more inland,” said Natalie Baggesen, a Mystic Aquarium employee. “It raises awareness and teaches kids how to treat these types of animals when they see them at the beach.”

Young audience members were captivated as they learned about the creatures.

They learned, for example, that sea stars eat by pushing their stomachs outside of their body and engulfing their food. They learned that pearls found inside oyster shells are made of ‘clam spit’ and that horseshoe crabs use

their long rigid tails to right themselves if they get flipped upside down, and much more.

Some of the children couldn’t wait to get their hands on the sea creatures.

Others were much more cautious and took a while to work up their courage. By the end of the hour-long event, however, everyone had ample opportunity to get their hands wet, touch or hold the sea life, and ask plenty of questions.

“Now I’m not scared of crabs anymore!” said one boy when the presentation was finished.

Mystic Aquarium offers many different types of traveling programs designed both to educate and to entertain. Baggesen and her fellow employee Rebecca Houde

2010 CMT and CAPT scores continue strong showing

Scores for the 2010 Connecticut Mastery Test and the Connecticut Academic Performance Test were released last week by the state’s Department of Education.

School administrators said Berlin students continue to perform well — for the most part at or near the top of their economic reference group.

“We saw increases in all areas of the CAPTS,” said Assistant Superintendent Brian Benigni. The CAPT, is a statemandated standardized test administered by the Connecticut State Board of Education that all public school students in Connecticut take in March of their tenth grade year.

According to data supplied

by Janet Parlato, assistant principal at Berlin High School, writing scores were up 9.6 points — with 77.2 percent of students at or above goal — likely the highest

writing score, to date.

In other subjects: math scores were up 4.9 points, with 65.9 percent of students at or above goal; science scores were up 5.8 points, with 52.4 percent of students at goal; reading scores were up .4 points, with 61.2 percent of students at or above goal.

“The high school has worked hard to focus on instruction,” Benigni said pointing to efforts to “align instruction.” He pointed out that the CAPT is given to a different group of students each year, therefore results do not reflect progress over time. Further analysis will take place later on at which time “we will set our goals…against where we are and where we want to be.”

Berlin’s success is in keeping with the trend statewide where the Department of Education showed improvement over 2009 in student scoring at or above goal or above proficient and goal levels across content areas. This year also marked the first

time a subgroup of students with disabilities was eligible to take a modified CAPT in reading and math. “This year’s CAPT results are encouraging and indicate that efforts being made by districts and support by the Department of Education are having an impact on student achievement,” said state education Commission Dr. Mark K. McQuillan.

The CMT is administered to Connecticut students in grades four, six and eight.

There are five levels of performance: advanced, goal, proficient, basic, and below basic.

Benigni said overall students maintained a strong percentage reaching goal or above. Within that ranking, typically 50 percent or more fell within the advanced designation.

Within Berlin’s ERG (25 towns), students performance was “very strong” he said, particularly for eighth grade where, for students reaching goal, they placed

second in their ERG in math and writing and third in reading for those reaching goal.

Overall, Berlin typically is in the upper fourth of its ERG in the percentage of students reaching goal, Benigni said. For 80 percent, or even 90 percent, to reach goal in a subject is a frequent outcome.

The state reported that students’ performance improved as measured against the benchmark year of 2006.

In grades three through eight, improvement was noted in all areas except grade three writing. In Berlin, third grade writing scores decreased over 2009 scores. The

decrease was about four percent to 71.6 percent making goal and a decrease of about three percent for 89 percent reaching proficiency.

Benigni said about 250 students per class take the test and that a few percentage points represents a small number of students. Also third-graders are new to the test and it’s important to look at progress over time, for example, how eighth grade performs.

Of the CMTs, McQuillan said, “There is a positive trend of improved student achievement across all six grades and academic disciplines, which is encouraging.”

Dickenson Continued from page 4 “Our organization grew significantly under Loren¹s leadership, from notable advancements in lending, to product enhancements,” said Mark Bosse, chairman of the Nutmeg State Federal Credit Union board of directors. “In addition, the credit union changed its name, underwent seven mergers, opened five branches, and adopted a community-based charter, which allowed the organization to serve individuals who live, work, volunteer, attend school or worship in Hartford, Tolland and Middlesex counties.”

Dickinson also serves as a member of the ALM Committee, and is chairman of

Members Benefits LLC. Prior to his tenure at Nutmeg State Federal Credit Union, he served for 19 years as the executive vice president, member services for the Credit Union League of Connecticut (CULCT). Throughout his career, Dickinson was active in the credit union movement, serving on the board of directors and in various positions for the CULCT. Dickinson also served on the board of directors of the Rocky Hill Chamber of Commerce for more than eight years, including terns as vice prsident and president.

Heat, humidity affect older people

By Linda Colella Special to The Citizen

Hot weather presents challenges to the elderly. Here are some things to consideras this summer continues to be one of the hottest on record.

Heat and humidity add up to danger USA today recently published an article stating that in recent years scientists have learned that a day’s highest temperature is not the best measure of the danger of heat waves. Unrelenting heat that doesn’t allow people to rest at night is responsible for the deaths of many elderly and ill people.

As we age, we gradually lose the ability to perspire and regulate our body temperature. This is why older people tend to overdress-they don’t feel the heat the same anymore. Older skin also thins and yields less protection from the sun.

Several medications also interfere with one’s ability to regulate the body’s temperature. Some of these medications are tranquilizers, sedatives, diuretics, drugs to control blood pressure and some antidepressants.

Tips For Staying Cool Wear cool clothing. Use air conditioning — if you don’t have air conditioning use room fans to keep the air circulated. Keep windows closed and pull down window shades on all windows during the day. Open windows at night and use fans to keep the air circulated.

Avoid the direct sun-stay indoors from 11a.m. to 4 p.m., the hottest part of the day. Do not engage in strenuous activity.

Drink plenty of non-alcoholic fluids. If your physician limits your amount of fluids, ask him/her how much you should drink when the weather is hot. Eat light meals. Take cool showers or baths.

And remember, if Scot Haney is saying that the day will be hot and humid, and you do not feel warm — please put your air conditioner or room fan on since you just may not feel the heat.

CitizenOpinion Letters to The Editor

Malloy for governor

To the editor: Dan Malloy is running against what seems to be limitless funds and he is still closing the gap in the polls. That is because Dan Malloy know what the problems are and exactly how to address them as governor. Instead of spending millions and millions of dollars on ads and mail, Dan is releasing policy plans and talking to voters. His message is resonating and the people of Connecticut are starting to pay attention. I am proud to support Dan Malloy for governor.

Student voices

Respite at the lake — then welcome back to reality

By Jodie Cyr

(Exemplary written pieces by Berlin High School graduating seniors are presented in the school district’s Portfolios of Distinction. The following essay is from that portfolio.)

My friends find it necessary to update me on every detail of their lives; it’s overwhelming. My short-tempered boss craves perfection from me, a girl far from perfect; it’s exhausting. Not to mention, my college applications are making me dizzy. Getting away from this reality is essential for me, and most people, to stay sane. Some people daydream, some take exotic vacations. Some will just read a book in order to escape their hectic routine. I personally do this by going to a lake nestled on the outskirts of a small town in North Stonington, CT. There tranquility hovers over the glistening lakes and peace lies in greenery of the quiet forests. That is my escape.

When my parents and I pull onto the dirt road, the service bars on my cell phone diminish one by one until there is nothing left. That is how I know we are close to my sanctuary; my cell phone loses service. When I am here I lose contact with society. The internet evades us here and incoming phone calls are almost unheard of. Upon turning onto that dirt road, I feel like I’m diving beneath the surface of water; all the noise stops. When I go to my lake house I leave behind my hectic life. All my problems, school stress, friend drama, and responsibilities are left an hour away back in Berlin.

My schedule is free from any plans whatsoever. My parents and I hop in our boat and allow the wind to blow away any of our lingering worries. My feet rest in front of me, stretched out across the seat cushions. The September wind whips my hair back as we fly across the water. The sun is dancing across the water and the trees are only beginning to change from green to yellow. In the distance a flock of birds swarm the air, probably getting a head start flying south, for winter is only two and a half months away. There is nothing more relaxing than having the lake to ourselves. We soar past the public loading dock, which is also empty, and loop around heading back to our retreat. The roaring engine soon became quiet as we neared the shore. Approaching the dock, stress-free, I know I will be able to look forward to a calm and comfortable weekend. Knowing that I have to cherish my time here, I am quick to dismiss any thought of leaving.

The chilly air stings after our boat ride; especially when the fall wind crushes our faces, so we head indoors to start the electric fire. The clearly fake logs are soon engulfed in perfect flames. They now shed a dim light throughout the living room and its warmth quickly permeates the air. Cozy in my pajamas and wrapped in a wool blanket, I feel content. I park myself on the couch cushions and indulged in my favorite book. Time flies by after I begin reading and my book tucks me in too a sound sleep. It is always the best kind of sleep here; no sound of passing cars or yelling neighbors.

On the way home daydreaming of a permanent life in North Stonington I am taken out of my trance by a loud beeping sound. Looking down I see my cell phone all lit up. A closer look shows me six unread text messages, four missed calls, and an email alert. I know it will not be long till we were home now. I glance out the window only to see a big green sign that reads “Welcome to Berlin.” A long week of work awaits my return.

Quick roads trips — a chance for more summer fun

By Maura Gaffney Special to The Citizen

Did you know . . .

Within an hour’s drive of Berlin are several unique attractions that aim to “transport” visitors to a world of fun and entertainment. From historic airplanes to speeding race cars to romantic dinner trains, summer is the perfect time to visit some of these distinctive destinations.

The New England Air Museum, located at Bradley International Airport in Windsor Locks, offers an “interactive experience” for visitors of all ages. The museum offers hands-on activities such as flight simulators, Build and Fly projects, and a kid-size airport with games, music and videos. It also has many aircraft displays and exhibits to satisfy aviation and history buffs. Visitors can learn about everything from the basic principles of flight to details of the space program. The museum calendar is packed with special events and activities. Its mission is to give visitors the opportunity to “explore the history, science, and technology of aviation”. The NEAM is about 40 minutes (just over 30 miles) from Berlin. It offers free on site parking, reasonable admission fees, a gift shop, and small dining area.

Visit www.neam.org for more

information.

The Essex Steam Train and Riverboat which offers “sightseeing with all the bells and whistles” is a short 40 minute (30 miles) drive down Route 9. Passengers can ride the “Mississippi-style” riverboat and the coal-fired steam train on a relaxing excursion along the scenic Connecticut River. (The riverboat, the Becky Thatcher, can also be rented for special occasions.)

The Steam Train and Riverboat offers a variety of additional outings such as the Gillette Castle Connection which is a “hiking adventure”, an elegant Dinner Train, a fun-filled Murder Mystery Train, a Day Out with Thomas for the kids, the North Pole Express and many more. Visit www.essexsteamtrain.com for more information.

Stafford Motor Speedway, located in Stafford Springs, is a half-mile race track that hosts weekend races from March through October. Most Friday night events include multiple races with various models of vehicles (SK Modified, Late Model, SK Light, Limited Late Model, and DARE Stock).

Some races are as short as 15 or 20 laps while others are 150 laps. Vendors are on site with food, games and souvenirs.

Stafford is about 45 minutes (approximately 40 miles) from Berlin.

Mini movie reviews The Citizen’s Facebook fans shared the following summer movie reviews on our Facebook page. * City Island A movie for adults with no guns or heads blown off. Family dynamics with a funny twist and not too many cliches. * Shutter Island was good ....I thought I knew the surprise ending, but it turned out that I didn’t; which was awesome! Most movies are so predictable. Shutter Island was a nice change of pace. * Toy Story 3 The exchanges between Ken and Barbie are hilarious and the movie is a well made sequal, not like the slapped together money-makers Hollywood usually churns out. The last scene, however, was more cheesy than tear-jerking for me because I couldn’t relate to Andy. * We just watched Zombieland on our Netflix queue last night, and it was hysterical. What’s summer without a great zombie flick?

(Comment) I checked out Zombieland on this recommendation...It’s not what I expected and it is funny. More like a coming of age in a cruel world flick.

Lime Rock Park is a wellknown race track located in Lakeville, just over an hour from Berlin. While Lime Rock hosts competitive amateur and professional racing events for spectators at its scenic location, its rich history and accessibility to motorsport enthusiasts make it more than just a race track.

The track is rented out to car clubs (owners of high-performance street cars). It serves as a base for the famous Skip Barber racing school. It allows club members exclusive access to the track. For more information, visit www.limerock.com .

The Submarine Force Museum and Library, the Navy’s only submarine museum, is located about an hour away in Groton. The Submarine Museum offers a com-

plete history of submarines and has several of the vessels on display, including a replica of the first submarine that was used during the American Revolution. The museum allows visitors to tour the Nautilus, the first nuclearpowered submarine. Check the calendar for special events throughout the season. The museum offers free admission and free parking.

Republicans protest plan to name Town Hall after Powers Several prominent Berlin Republicans voiced their opposition this week to a proposal to name the town hall complex after a former mayor, Democrat Arthur B. Powers.

According to Berlin Republican Town Committee Chairman George Millerd several members of the town committee plan to speak against the proposal at the July 20 Town Council meeting. The item on the agenda states“the council is free to do what it deems appropriate.”

A press release from former Berlin mayors Robert Peters and Paul Argazzi, former Deputy Mayors Robert Argazzi and Scott Veley, and former Town Councilman Donald Geschimsky listed numerous reasons for opposing the plan.

Powers could not immediately be reached for comment.

The press release stated that “Robert Zipadelli’s proposal, if adopted, would generate extensive unfavorable publicity for our

town, subjecting us to ridicule by the press and others. At a time when the news is filled with reports about corruption by government officials, to name our entire municipal complex after a person with a criminal record invites charges of absurdity and hypocrisy against our Town Council.”

According to news reports from that era, in The Courant and The New Britain Herald, in 1983, Powers was: fined $1,500, sentenced to a one year suspended jail term and placed on two years probation and assigned 185 days of community service for hindering a judicial inquiry into corruption at the Department of Transportation where he had served as commissioner.

The Republicans listed various other allegations against Powers and said he “was at the center of the most notorious corruption scandal in state history at the time.”

Munson Continued from page 1 guishing. But, Bennett said, “Sara came at the right time, and she was a right fit.”

In the beginning of her term as director, Munson expanded the collections. Her first several years were spent purging older, less circulated books from the library, replacing them with books of more interest to residents.

Munson began her job just as computers were coming into widespread use and she learned, along with the public, as computers became a fixture at the library.

Through a decade long stay, Munson increased the technological tools in the library to the point where it boasts of an online system where patrons can hold, renew and make interlibrary loans on books and other materials.

“It was a joy, “ said Assistant Director Cathy Nelson refering to working with Munson. “She was one of

evacuated. Bolin was dependent on a wheelchair, due a series of small strokes she experienced in later years, after an active life. A resident of Berlin for 30 years and an active member of the Berlin Congregational Church, Bolin loved to dance, travel, play golf, and enjoyed the Cabaret Theater. She was “a cheerful and caring friend, neighbor, devoted mother, and grandmother,” according to the registry brochure.

While emergency response the day of the fire was “lightening fast,” Cruickshank said, the tragic outcome was an emotional experience that got him thinking of better ways to ensure a person with a disability was evacuated as expeditiously as possible. He began formulating the idea of making sure that — in a situation where a heads-up of just a few seconds could make a difference for responders — emergency workers would be prepared for a special needs evacuation.

those unique people who was a people person but really into technology.”

Through Munson’s leadership, Berlin-Peck acquired over 1,000 DVDs in its collection. Munson brought “Playaways” to the library — pre-loaded, digital audiobooks on MP3 players.

At the June 9 meeting of the Berlin-Peck Memorial Library Board, Chairman Frank Steele said a new director should be in “total cooperation with the board” and be innovative to change with the times. He also wanted to new director to have an amicable relationship with the board.

According to Bennett, the board was comfortable approaching Munson “She would act on our suggestions” Bennett said, adding that “and if we heard from the public, we would feel free to go to Sara.”

Bennett said the board is looking for “Somebody willing to go forward, to keep us up there so we don’t regress to where nobody wants to go to the library.”

After researching similar programs in other towns, Cruickshank initiated the special needs registry; a voluntary program which allows Berlin residents to make sure emergency personal are aware of any special medical circumstances in case of an emergency.

The town’s fire departments, Hunter’s Ambulance, the Department of Social Services, the Visiting Nurses Association, the Senior Center and the fire marshal’s office were all involved in creating the new program.

The special needs registry application is available at the police station. It includes categories for people with disabilities, such as: hearing or visual losses, mobility, allergies and cognitive limitations, as well as people with service animals, in-home oxygen, in a wheelchair or in need of electrically-powered life-sustaining equipment.

Alzheimer’s or dementia needs are also addressed.

Shaky season for Post 68

By Mark Pukalo Special to The Citizen The Berlin Post 68 American Legion season ended much earlier this year.

Coming off a thrilling trip to the Legion World Series, an inexperienced Berlin team couldn’t quite put it together this summer.

Berlin capped its 2010 campaign with a 6-2 victory over a solid Avon team (19-8, second in Zone 1) Sunday, but there will be no playoff run this season. Post 68 finished 11-13 in Zone 3 and 1418 overall. A team must win more than 50 percent of its zone games in order to qualify for the state tournament.

The 1-6 start may have ultimately done Berlin in.

Even though it went 10-7 the rest of the way, manager Rob Manzo said the team could never “get over the hump.”

“We were young and inconsistent,” Manzo said.

“Every year is a new challenge. It’s tough keeping a team together. We knew coming in it would be tough.”

The biggest concern before the season was pitching.

UConn-bound standout Anthony Marzi had surgery on his non-throwing shoulder and was lost for the season. It was time to build a new staff.

“We had one or two pitchers with Legion experience, guys learning on the job and other guys who hadn’t

Zach Parsons, pictured, had a big year for Berlin Post 68, but the local American Legion baseball team struggled this summer. pitched before,” Manzo said.

“But this might help us in the future. Some of these guys really grew up this summer.”

Berlin’s pitching actually kept it in games much of the season. It might have ended up being the strength of the team. Manzo said Sean Sylvester pitched well despite his 2-4 zone record and Taylor Anderson led the way,

going 5-2 in zone games by pounding the strike zone. “[Anderson] really adjusted to being a No. 1 pitcher,” Manzo said. “He was fifth or sixth last year. He really became a leader on the mound and the guys had confidence that they could beat anyone when he was out there.”

Two national champions are coming to town.

Former University of Connecticut women’s basketball stars Tina Charles and Renee Montgomery will chat with fans at Ken’s Cards & Collectibles, 202 New Britain Rd., Sunday, July 25, from 3:30 to 5 p.m.

Charles and Montgomery were members of UConn’s undefeated 2009 national championship team. UConn, and Charles, claimed the national title again in 2010, once again going unbeaten.

With their UConn days behind them, Charles and Montgomery made the leap to the WNBA. Charles was the league’s Charles No. 1 pick in 2010. Montgomery was taken fourth in 2009. The duo currently plays for the Connecticut Sun. Charles and Montgomery are not the first UConn basketball players to pay a visit to Ken’s Cards. Former Huskies Maria Conlon, Taliek Brown and Kara Wolters also have stopped by the New Britain Road shop.

Owner Ken Asal said the atmosphere Montgomery is electric whenever a UConn player is on hand. “People just flip out,” he said, adding that the “50and-over crowd” seems to be the most devoted Husky fans.

Asal is a diehard UConn hoop fan himself. He loves professional wrestling as well, and earlier this year, a big crowd came to Asal’s shop to meet World Wrestling Federation legend Ted “The Million Dollar Man” DiBiase.

Asal pointed out that bringing in celebrities such as DiBiase, Charles and Montgomery works out well for everyone involved.

“Businesses like mine are struggling,” said Asal, who opened Ken’s Cards nearly a decade ago. “Anything I can do to bring people in and to give them a chance to mingle with people they’ve watched on TV for years is a good thing. It’s good for business and it’s good for the community.”

Asal can be reached at HUSKYKEN@aol.com.

Young Berlin Merchants battled, improved this summer The Berlin Merchants, a member of the Jaycee-TD Bank Junior Division summer baseball league, capped a challenging year this week. Competing against older opponents proved to be a humbling experience for the Merchants.

Still, despite being young and losing one of its top pitchers, Kyle Powell, to injury, Berlin improved steadi-

ly throughout the season.

That was evident on Saturday as the Merchants defeated one of the top teams in their division, New Britain Parks Department, 6-4.

Berlin took the lead in the first inning when Mike Mo-

riarty scored from first base on an errant pick-off attempt. The Merchants’ 1-0 lead held up through three innings as Berlin’s starting pitcher Connor Bowen retired nine of the first 12 batters he faced.

New Britain would surge ahead 3-1 in the fourth, but the Merchants answered in the sixth. After Mike Veronesi singled, Ryan Gallagher

was hit by a pitch, and Nick Strain reached base on a bunt. Then, with the bases loaded, a Billy Conticello grounder was misplayed, allowing one run to score. A single by Reid Hilbie tied the game at 3-3.

That score held up until the seventh, when Berlin mounted its winning rally.

R.J. Venziano was walked with one out in the final

frame. After an error put runners on first and second, Veronesi singled in the goahead run. A triple by Gallagher padded the Merchants’ lead.

New Britain struck for one run in its final at-bat, but Hilbie made two clutch plays to halt New Britain’s comeback.

Game-winner Tyler Feger took the mound in the fifth.

Manzo said the team’s defense was inconsistent and cost it a few games. Berlin’s offense started very slow, but got better as the season went along. Berlin did score 13 in a victory last week over East Haddam.

Catcher Zach Parsons, one of six holdovers from the World Series team, led the offense along with first-year player Brendan Germano. “We knew [Parsons] was a good hitter, but he took it up to a new level this year,�

Manzo said. “His defense was outstanding as well. He threw out six or seven runners trying to steal and I don’t remember a pitch in the dirt that got by him. We think he was the best catcher in the zone.�

Berlin looked on the verge, getting to 8-9 at one point, but Manzo said they just could never get that big win to help them set sail for a playoff berth. But the experience for a young group could help in the next few years.

Manzo said they are looking into an informal Legion team for the fall. “We want to keep the guys playing,� he said. “They need instruction, reps.�

This summer’s Post 68 Junior Legion team was 12-10, at press time, with two games left. With just 12 players on the roster, Manzo said they are evaluating whether to keep the team next year.

He said no decision has been made, but it is something that needs to be talked about.

Berlin had 15 players on its Senior Legion team.

Nearly 3,000 defy heat, take part in GE/Petit race at the 22-mile mark, some people a little earlier,” Petit told the crowd. “I said ‘that’s me.’”

Petit went on to thank the participants “for coming on a hot, hot day in July.” In his closing remarks, he quoted Mother Theresa: “Most of us can’t do great things, but all of us can do small things with a great amount of love.”

By Nick Carroll The Berlin Citizen It was hot, real hot, Sunday morning, but that didn’t stop some 3,000 runners and walkers from taking part in the third annual General Electric/Petit Foundation Road Race in Plainville.

Simsbury’s David Bridgwater shook off the heat and bested the field, navigating the 3.1-mile course in a blistering time of 16:01. Simsbury’s Caitlin Cunningham was the first female to cross the finish line (36th, 19:18).

Justin Roncaioli finished first among a sizeable Berlin/Kensington contingent. The Berlin High School Class of 2009 alumnus placed eighth (17:07).

All proceeds from the GE/Petit race go to the Petit Family Foundation. The
