Hatchery closes Sept. 1, fish will be released By Daniel Jackson Special to The Citizen

At the garden gate Midsummer has arrived. Forget the doldrums caused by too much heat and endless days. It’s time to savor the height of the season and all the fleeting pleasures we’ll remember fondly come winter. In this edition, you’ll find gardening advice for the ills that plague the vegetable patch, photos readers submitted to our Beautiful Berlin summer photo theme, irresistable blueberry recipes, and a story about an East Berlin fig grove. These are just a few of the treasures that summer imparts. We think it’s time to pour a glass of lemonade, pull up a lawn chair and take it all in. — The editor

Since the 1800s, the Kensington Fish Hatchery has raised fish. Now, due to state budget cuts, the hatchery will close Sept. 1. Hatchery employees were informed of the state’s decision July 19. In recent history, the hatchery, run by the Department of Energy and Environmental Protection, has produced, on average, one million trout and salmon per year. These fish went to stock Connecticut’s lakes and rivers. “It will be a serious blow to our salmon restoration program,” said Robert Jones, president of the Connecticut River Salmon Association and former Chief of the Bureau of Fisheries and Wildlife at DEP. Currently, the Kensington Hatchery is the only Con-

necticut run hatchery to produce Atlantic salmon. Discontinuing the hatchery will not necessarily mean the total loss of the salmon restoration program. Connecticut is part of the Connecticut River Atlantic Salmon Commission, a collaborative effort by the federal government and four states to restore salmon populations in the Connecticut River valley. The Kensington Fish Hatchery contributed 20 percent of the salmon to the program. With the closing of the hatchery comes lay-offs for three employees from the hatchery program. At this time, employees are expected to be transferred to other positions. The hatchery may be saved if state employees vote on the new concession vote

New candidates, old wounds Parties ready for race By Olivia L. Lawrence The Berlin Citizen

A fig grove in East Berlin? See page 7.

This month, Democrats and Republicans selected their candidates for Town Council as well as for other boards. But the council race is bound to hold the spotlight and some tension is already in the air. Republican incumbent Councilor Kari Maier Drost will not run again for council. Instead, she’s putting her name in for the Board of Assessment Appeals. Drost said she and her husband made the decision as their young family keeps them busy. Stepping back, af-

ter one term, seemed to be the right course, she said. “I hope I was able to provide a voice for some of the people in town. I did enjoy it and learned a lot.” But Drost also cited concerns with “disrespect and hostility to myself and the public by the majority” party on the council. “I thought I could work towards changing that, but it’s pretty engrained.” Drost said “It’s ironic that there’s a campaign against bullying in our schools and yet we allow it from our leadership.”

Outdoor merchandise giant to utilize town’s open space By Daniel Jackson Special to The Citizen

Come October, REI will use Berlin’s open space to host outdoor classes for its West Hartford store. The town council approved a measure at its July 19 meeting that allows REI, Recreational Equipment Incorporated, to teach outdoor classes on town-owned land. The popular outdoor store approached the town proposing that they enter into a relationship with a memorandum of understanding. In exchange for teaching classes, REI would give back to Berlin by cleaning up the town’s open space and maintaining some trails. “I think this is another step in the right direction of utilizing the open space,” said Mayor Adam Salina.

“It teaches people how to say ‘Berlin’ correctly,” the mayor later quipped. The REI spokesperson at the meeting, Leigh Jackson Magennis, said REI wants to teach hiking, family hiking, digital photography, and navigation by GPS and map and compass. If the winter snows become deep enough, REI also would like to teach snowshoeing. “They are classes people have been asking for,” said West Hartford Store Manager Jeremy Castle. Magennis said that the classes are small. Approximately 10 people go out with an instructor. She assured the council the classes would not get in the way of people already using the land. The council asked MagenSee Outdoor, page 6

wrong? Yes, a successful summer garden requires some work, but the fruits of your labor (pun intended) should greatly outweigh your effort. Assuming your garden receives enough sunlight and has decent soil, there is almost no reason for a garden disaster. You have probably heard the saying “work smart, not hard”. In terms of gardening, that means being proactive and not reactive. Know a little about the plants you are growing and the plants (weeds) you don’t want to grow (by the way that’s what gardeners research in the winter). Be familiar with the common insects that feed on the vegetables you are growing before they’re on your plants. Be able to recognize them and have on hand an organic solution. Repelling a pest is more appealing to me than trying to kill it. Remember that poison you use might just end up in the vegetable

you will be eating. A successful garden doesn’t have to be a perfect. Sometimes you must learn to tolerate a bit of plant damage or a few weeds. This usually doesn’t affect the taste or nutritional quality of the fruit. But lets get down to the nuts and bolts. How to make See Tips, page 8

KENSINGTON FIRE DISTRICT TAX COLLECTOR’S NOTICE All persons liable to pay taxes on Real Estate and Personal Property in and to the Kensington Fire District are hereby notified that taxes on the Grand List of October 1, 2010 are due and payable on July 1, 2011. Taxes need to be paid by August 1, 2011 or said taxes become delinquent if not paid or postmarked on or before August 1, 2011. Interest at the rate of 1.5% per month shall be charged from July 1, 2011 on all taxes not paid on or before August 1, 2011, subject to a minimum interest charge of $2.00. Any and all unpaid back taxes, interest and other charges must be paid in full before payment may be made on the 2010 Grand List taxes. Any person liable for these taxes who does not receive a bill or bills should contact the Kensington Fire District Tax Collector’s Office at once, by phone at 860-828-1782 or in person at 947 Farmington Avenue (Rear), as failure to receive a bill does not relieve the taxpayer of his/her responsibility for the payment of taxes or delinquent charges.

The Republicans will run incumbent David Evans, former candidates Frances Geschimsky and Charles Paonessa, as well as newcomer Eric Buhrendorf. Berlin Republican Town Committee Chairman George Millerd said the new team will be putting together its ideas shortly, but in general will follow a philosophy of fiscal conservatism and being “much more open and people-friendly.” Deputy Mayor Steve Morelli said he believes Drost’s “heart was in the right place” and that she has “mistaken criticism for lack of respect.” “It was never personal,” Morelli said. Rather, her “flip-flop” postions on a number of issues caused other Democratic councilors to

last few months,” Morelli said. However, “it was a difficult time to step away” with several major projects pending. Drost, who chaired the GOP’s nominating committee said “I hope people will see something different in the new slate. I’m very excited…they are a great representation of the town as a whole.” Of the Democrats’ slate, Morelli said “We hope to continue to make progress. I feel good about the team.”

And to top it off, the town is located in the center of the state. After REI clears the paperwork with the town, it will begin to train instructors to work in Berlin. REI will survey the area it will use, noting any hazards.

This is the first time that REI has approached landowners in Connecticut for the purpose of hosting a class. “You were first on our list,” said Magennis. Berlin’s open space offers the store diversity. The jagged rock faces of Ragged Mountain differ from the gentle rolls of old farmland like Hatchery Brook Conservation Area. “The ability to have that variety is perfect,” said Castle.

A (fig) tree grows in East Berlin In fact, an entire grove thrives in this back yard By Olivia L. Lawrence The Berlin Citizen

If you’d like to learn more about growing figs and the possibilities for having a successful crop in Connecticut, plan a visit to Joseph Campisi’s fig orchard on Beckley Road. “I have 27 varieties,” Campisi said, many of these originated in Italy, some in Greece. “Come on down.” He welcomes inquiries from those who would like to experience the joy of growing and eating their own fresh figs. Campisi’s small backyard garden operation is located at 777 Beckley Road. Rows of

potted fig trees line the area around his house as well as a small greenhouse situated there. He describes each variety: the dwarfs, the king fig, the

black, white and brown types. Vesuvius is a kind typically grown on the slopes of the volcano. The Keos is from the city of that name in Greece. Some are best for making fig jelly. Care of the trees is not too complicated. Water and regular feeding, a large, but not huge pot, are all it takes. The trees must be taken inside each year around Thanks-

giving and can be brought outside around Mother’s Day. They can be propagated fairly easily and Campisi is willing to demonstrate the method he uses. In addition to figs, Campisi grows other specialty trees, including a large lemon tree that bursts with fruit each summer. Greenhouse peppers and tomatoes are grown to spectacular

sizes and a traditional garden grows a variety of vegetables.

main areas a gardener must focus on. Water — All plants need a certain amount of water to grow and thrive. Most of the water a plant uses is absorbed through roots. True, a summer shower will help, but a slow, deep soaking is best. How often? That depends. Sandy soil looses water faster than heavier clay type soils. Windy days will desiccate a plant faster than a calm day. The same is true on hot sunny days. The trick is to get the

the lakes and rivers of Connecticut once the water temperature is favorable. That time is around late September to early November. The state will continue to keep the property. In an interview with The Berlin Citizen last March, Bill Hyatt, chief of Natural Resources in the Department of Environmental Protection said he wanted to preserve the

hatchery “in a moth-balled state.” “You don’t create fish hatcheries easily,” Jones said. To preserve the Kensington Fish Hatchery, the water pumps will be turned down low so that the pipes do not freeze in the winter and the concrete fish tanks don’t crack.

water to root zone and keep it there. A good watering once a week should be sufficient if the water remains there. Soils rich in organics acts like a sponge, that’s one reason why gardeners are always adding compost or manure to their garden. Aim for five to 10 percent organic matter. In order to keep the water in the ground and not evaporate away, plant your vegetables a little closer than recommended. This will help shade the ground. Some plants, like tomatoes, will root along the entire stem, so plant them as deep as possible. After I plant my vegetable garden, I weave a soaker hose around all my plants.

Next I will add a two inch layer of mulch. I like ground up leaves (leaf mold) that I stockpiled from autumn. Straw, grass clippings, newspaper will all work. The key is to cover the soil and keep it cool. Unwanted plants — Don’t you just hate weeding? All gardens have weeds. Weed seeds are in the soil. Some can remain there for years just waiting to be exposed to sunlight. The more you disturb the soil the more weeds will germinate. Weeds are plants like your vegetables and need the same basic things to survive. The best

Obituary

CitizenOpinion

Current laws good enough

To the editor: I am strongly compelled to reach out in regard to my disappointment and concern over new laws that have passed concerning out-ofstate animal rescues. I have been adopting rescued animals, mostly dogs, for years from legitimate and reputable rescuers. I also volunteer my time to rescued animals. Honestly, I am glad that there is an effort made to regulate the arrival of animals being brought from out-ofstate. I believe these new

laws will harm legitimate rescues that are already operating under moral and legal standards. Legitimate rescuers are bringing in vetted animals, meaning the medical treatment for the well-being of animals, with interstate licenses and most are all volunteers with a full time job. I am completely and utterly appalled by non-vetted truck loads of animals being transported inhumanely and being adopted for profit out in parking lots and so forth. These people are already breaking currently existing laws and I very much think that these new laws would have an impact of the opposite effect. In addition, new laws require that already vetted dogs be vetted again within 48 hours upon arrival in CT and at specific intervals thereafter. Most transports arrive on Saturday, losing Sunday because vets are

closed. There is no way to get even one animal vetted by early Monday morning. The new law also suggests that the cost of all the additional vetting be passed to the adopter and that will add to the existing adoption fees. I am not sure people who are looking for an affordable adoption option will want to pay $500-$600 for a rescued animal. In short, these animals are abused, neglected, put on to the streets to fend for themselves or to die by undeserving humans who inflicted this unfortunate situation upon them. They don’t ask for this any more than any of us would. These rescuers nurture and spend time and work to make these animals feel even a little bit secured along with making sure they go to responsible and good, loving homes. Mary A. Johnson Berlin

Commentary

Review: So long Harry Potter By Katherine Vandrilla Special to The Citizen As many of you may know, something epic happened on July 15. Harry Potter came to an end. After 14 years in the making, seven books, eight movie, and a billion fans later, the saga has come to a close. No more movies, no more Hogwarts, no more Harry, no more magic. To get the full experience of a Harry Potter movie, you would have to attend the midnight showing the night before it opened. Since Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, (that is the fifth one in muggle speak), I have been going to the midnight premiers. The experience of seeing the movie first, in a theater packed with fans as enthusiastic as you are, is unparallel to anything else. If you drove up to RAVE Cinemas July 14 around 11 p.m., you would have had a tough time finding a parking spot. Upon entering the building, you would have found the lobby packed with avid fans, most of which

were dressed as their favorite character or sporting Harry Potter attire. As midnight approached we were unleashed into the theaters. When the lights finally dimmed, the tension skyrocketed. As the movie started, the audience cheered with anticipation. The end was beginning. We laughed, we cried, we had a great time. The first movie in the series came out in 2001, so many of us had literally grown up along with Harry Potter. This marked the end of a chapter in my life; my childhood was officially over as the credits rolled off the screen. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 is the perfect ending to the series. Whether you have been there from the beginning, or are recently joining the party, I would recommend this movie. Rated PG-13, in theaters.

Thursday, July 28, 2011 — The Berlin Citizen

What is it? We thought the “what is it” photo of a map of Berlin in last week’s edition of The Citizen would prove to be quite a challenge. But two astute readers quickly sent in excellent answers and, according to the date stamp on their emails, it’s a tie. A “high five” to these winners! Sylvia Glennon wrote: The map is from the Baker & Tilden Atlas of Hartford County, ca. 1869. It is a Berlin Business Reference Map. Maureen Guite wrote: This map of Berlin is “A Business Reference” for Kensington, Berlin and East Berlin, the Town of Berlin. It shows the businesses in town and who ran them. It also shows where people lived or owned property. Not sure where the original is but there is a framed copy of it in my den. There is a # 29 in the lower right corner. The photo The Citizen printed is of the original antique map of Berlin from the Atlas of Hartford City and County. And the original is for sale for a price most would consider reasonable. Go to www.pinebrookmaps.com for more information. According to this antique maps dealer, this map is found in an atlas published by Baker & Tilden in Hartford in 1869. “This authentic vintage map of Berlin, Conn. is printed on one side only with a blank reverse side and beautiful hand coloring. This one of a kind old map of Berlin is full of landowner and business information from historic Hartford County Connecticut and would make a fine addition to any collection.” The condition of the 17 inch by 14 inch map is “very good.” In addition to the landowner information on the map proper, the borders of the map contain information on the following businesses in Berlin, East Berlin and Kensington:

Kensington Business Reference Hart Manufacturing Co – Manufacturer of Coach Saddlery, general hardware and edged tools W.W. Norton - Station Agent H.M. Woodford – Manufacturer of Hoop Skirts Daniels – Carpenter and Builder Gen. H. Dickinson – Carriage and Wagon Manufacturer C.N. Alling – Dealer in Dry Goods, Groceries and Provisions Moore Manufacturer Co. – Manufacturer of Steel Yards G.W. Winchel – Manufacturer of Soda Water Ira Kent – Carpenter Berlin Business Reference Alfred North – Dealer in Dry Goods, Groceries and Provisions Lorenzo Lamb – Manufacturer of Tin Ware S. Crosby – Proprietor of Berlin House E. Brandegee – Physician and Surgeon Sam N. Sperry – Proprietor of Livery Stable and Stage Line to Depot W. Bulkley – Manufacturer of Tin man’s Tools Isaac Bosworth – Cigar Manufacturer H.N. Galpin – Dealer in Dry Goods, Groceries and Provisions J.C. Arnold – Carpenter and Builder C.D. Bacon – Proprietor of Marble and Stone Yard C. J. Griswold – Job Mason East Berlin Business Reference Roys & Wilcox Co. – Manufacturers of every description of Tinman’s Tools American Corrugated Iron Co. F.

After a good, long run theatre company closes (Submitted by the Board of Directors, Berlin Community Theatre.) After 14 years, The Berlin Community Theatre, Inc. has ceased operations. “It was time” said Chairman of the Board and company founder Chris Coté. “Everything runs its course, and Community Theatre in Berlin has run its...for now.” Incorporated in January 1997, Chris and Pat Coté along with longtime friend, Gary Matthias, formed The Berlin Community Theatre, Inc. to fill a void in the arts, particularly theatre for young and mature adults. Since 1997, The BCT has presented the following: 1997 – The Best of Broadway (musical review) 1998 – Kiss Me, Kate 1999 – No, No, Nanette 2000 – A Century of Showstoppers (musical review) 2001 – You’re A Good Man, Charlie Brown 2002 – For The Love of the Theatre (musical review) 2003 – Brigadoon 2004 – Guys & Dolls 2005 – Anything Goes! 2006 – How To Succeed In Business Without Really Trying A Summer Evening of Music (to Benefit Berlin Cong. Church) 2007 – Carousel (Joint Venture with Berlin UpBeat) 2008 – Oklahoma! (Benefit Performance for

Berlin UpBeat) 2009 – Damn Yankees (Benefit Performance for Berlin UpBeat) But after losing money for the first time ever in 2009, it became increasingly apparent that it was time to wind things down. “You see, we never had a permanent home,” said Coté. “We relied heavily on donated rehearsal and performance space. We performed at Bethany Covenant Church, Worthington School (the former Berlin Grange), Sacred Heart Church, East Berlin, Berlin Congregational Church, and rehearsed at First City Bank and Plaza Florist. We were able to rent both McGee Middle School and Berlin High School for several years but then those costs became prohibitive. Then in 2007, we joined forces with Alice Mitchell and her dedicated band of volunteers and reformed The Berlin UpBeat Summer Theatre. “Having been involved in some form of performing and theatre for over 35 years, our production of Rodgers and Hammerstein’s “Carousel” was the high point of my career,” Coté said. “But as the economy turned, so turned our fortunes. The pressure on our high school, college and young adult performers increased each summer with fewer and fewer of them able to devote the time necessary to a summer production. The handwriting was on the wall.”

Tips Continued from page 8

way to control weeds is to deprive them of sunlight. No sun, no photosynthesis, no weeds, period. After your garden is planted, remove as many weeds as your back will allow. Next select an organic material readily available to you throughout the growing season. Remember that leaf mold I spoke about earlier?

That’s my favorite. Other choices could be plastic mulches, layers of newspaper or cardboard, straw, wood chips, grass clippings, you get the idea. You need to form a layer thick enough to block out all light. Use this technique and 99 percent of weeds will be controlled. When a straggler or two pops up, and they will, remove them while they are small and vulnerable. Taller sun

loving plants like tomatoes and sweet corn can also be used to cast shadows on plants that prefer less light. These include most leafy vegetables. Remember weeds love sun. There are organically approved non selective sprays that will kill unwanted (and wanted) plants. Most use vinegar or plant oils to desiccate plant cell tissue. Be careful of spray drift when you use these. Garden pests — I like to group garden pests in two categories; those with fur and four legs and all the rest. Deer, rabbits, woodchucks and the like are best kept out of the garden with an appropriate fence. Fences can be pricey and it’s true that there are repellants and other means of keeping our furry friends at bay, but a good fence is the best value for the serious gardener. Fences work. The rest of the pests are primarily mollusks (snails

and slugs) and insects. Expect them. Snails and slugs feed mostly on vegetable leaves. They require a damp environment and feed at night or on cloudy days. They usually eat the edges of a leaf first then eat rather large holes in the center. During the day they will hide in the soil, under a rock or in garden litter. Snails and slugs leave behind a telltale slime trail. Snails and slugs See Tips, page 23

When asked if he had any regrets Coté said, “Not a one — well I probably would have smoked less and taken better care of my voice but I would do it all again in a heartbeat! Oh yes – there was blood, sweat and tears along the way but incredible highs and also some pretty low lows. But over the years, we touched the lives of hundreds of kids and thousands of audience members. If we made just one lonely person smile or kept just one kid out of trouble for the summer – it was worth it.” As per the terms of its bylaws, the BCT liquidated and donated its remaining treasury to four “arts” related organizations.

Thursday, July 28, 2011 — The Berlin Citizen BERLIN WATER CONTROL COMMISSION POTABLE WATER CONFIDENCE REPORT JANUARY 1, 2010 TO DECEMBER 31, 2010

For over thirty (30) years, the Berlin Water Control Commission has provided the residents of Berlin, Connecticut with a safe, palatable supply of drinking water. This bulletin has been prepared to provide the approximately 2,500 residential, commercial and industrial customers of this supply with the confidence that the water they consume meets and, in most cases, exceeds all State and Federal requirements for drinking water. The Berlin Water Control Commission was established in 1966. During the period extending from January 1, 2010 to December 31, 2010, it sold Five Hundred Twenty Nine Million, Nine Hundred Seventy-Seven Thousand, Five Hundred (529,977,500) gallons of water to its residential, commercial, and industrial customers. The Berlin Water Control Commission produced 39% (207,285,000 gallons) of its water needs and purchased 59% (311,992,500) from the New Britain Water Department and 2% (10,700,000 gallons) from the Cromwell Interconnection. This report covers that portion of the supply originating from wells owned and operated by the Commission. Reports on those portions of the supply provided by the New Britain Water Department and the Cromwell Fire District can be provided upon request. The Berlin Water Control Commission supply, excluding that provided by the New Britain Water Department and the Cromwell Interconnection, comes from two (2) sources: ELTON Well #1A; and ELTON Well #2A. A third (3rd) well, Swede Pond: Production Well #2, installed in 1973 (a well with a depth of 92 feet and a capacity of 550 gallons per minute) was replaced by Well #2A in 1996. ELTON Well #1 was installed in 1973 and rehabilitated in 1994 and 1997; Well #1 was replaced in 1998 and reclassified as Well #1A. ELTON Well #2A (with a depth of 95 feet and a production of 350 gallons per minute, as stated above) was placed in service in 1996. Water from ELTON Wells #1A and #2A are blended together prior to entering the distribution system. As required by the Connecticut State Department of Health, the Berlin Water Control Commission has to have two tradesmen classified as Treatment Operators Class 1 and one tradesman classified as Class 2. The Water Control Commission has two tradesmen classified as Distribution Operators Class 1 and one tradesman classified as Class 2. Monthly testing of the water supplied by the Berlin Water Control Commission has shown that the water has met or exceeded every standard set by the State and Federal Agencies for quality and safety. The following tables summarize the analytical results of water samples taken from various locations within the distribution system. As shown, other than trihalomethanes (produced by chlorination), the only organic chemical detected in any of the samples was Trichloroethene, detected in a very low concentration in water taken from Well #1A. A study conducted for the Berlin Water Control Commission by a private company, Geological Services, Inc., found that the railroad was responsible for the contamination. It is important to note that this level is well below recommended limits and presents no known health hazard. Table I and II also lists all of the contaminants that were detected during the 2009 sampling season. Although all were well below Maximum Contaminant Levels (MCLs), the following lists their significance and possible reasons: Barium: Barium in a water supply can result from the discharge of drilling or metal refining wastes or, as is most likely in this case, from the erosion of natural deposits. Drinking Water containing Barium in excess of the MCL for many years may cause an increase in blood pressure. Chlorides in potable water can result from sewage contamination or contaminants by industrial waste or, as in most cases, at low levels, from erosion of natural deposits. Chromium can result from discharges from pulp or steel mills, as well as erosion of natural deposits. Some people consuming water-containing chromium well in excess of the MCL may develop an allergic dermatitis. Copper: Copper can result from corrosion of household plumbing systems; Erosion of natural deposits; leaching from wood preservatives. Copper is an essential nutrient, but some people who drink water-containing copper in excess of the action level over a relatively short amount of time could experience gastrointestinal distress. Some people who drink water-containing copper in excess of the action level over many years could suffer liver or kidney damage. People with Wilson’s Disease should consult their personal physician. Fluorides can arise in a water supply from fertilizer, discharge from aluminum factories, or erosion of natural deposits. It is also added, as in this case here, to promote strong teeth. Some people who drink water containing Fluoride in excess of the MCL, over many years, could contract bone disease including pain and tenderness of the bones. Children may experience mottled teeth. Haloacetic Acids are formed as a result of chlorine, used in the disinfection process, reacting with natural occurring organic acids. Levels well above the MCL (Maximum Contaminant Level) may cause cancer. Nitrate Nitrogen can enter potable water as runoff from fertilizers or, as in most cases, from erosion of natural deposits. High concentrations, in excess of 9 parts per million (ppm) may cause a condition known as Methemoglobinemia when given to very young infants. It can also be transmitted to infants by nursing mothers who have consumed the water. Radioactivity emitted in the form of Alpha and Beta radiation results, occurs most frequently from the erosion of natural deposits. Beta activity can also occur from the decay of man-made radioactive elements. • Beta/photon emitters: Certain minerals are radioactive and may emit forms of radiation known as photons and beta radiation. Some people who drink water containing beta and photon emitters in excess of the MCL, over many years, may have an increased risk of getting cancer. • Alpha emitters: Certain minerals are radioactive and may emit a form of radiation known as alpha radiation. Some people who drink water containing alpha emitters in excess of the MCL, over many years, may have an increased risk of getting cancer. Radon occurs naturally in rock formations. Breathing air-containing radon may cause lung cancer. Radon Guidelines for Drinking Water: Currently, the State of Connecticut recommends that actions be taken to reduce water radon levels of 5,000 pCi/L or higher. Before taking any corrective action to reduce radon levels, at least one additional measurement should be taken to confirm if radon in the water exceeds the 5,000 pCi/L guideline. EPA to Adopt Water Radon Standard: The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is currently considering a maximum concentration limit between 300 pCi/L and 1,000 pCi/L for public water. Additional information on the health risks from radon in water can be obtained from the State of Connecticut’s Radiation Control Program. Trichloroethene. Some people who drink water containing Trichloroethylene in excess of the Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL) over many years could experience problems with their liver, and may have an increased risk of getting cancer. Trihalomethanes are a chlorination by-product. Some people who consume water containing Trihalomethanes in excess of the MCL may, over a number of years, experience problems with liver, kidneys, or central nervous system and may have an increased risk of getting cancer. Turbidity is a measure of the cloudiness of water. It is monitored because it is a good indicator of water quality. High turbidity levels can also hinder the effectiveness of disinfection. The sources of drinking water (both tap water and bottled water) include rivers, lakes, streams, ponds, reservoirs, springs and wells. As water travels over the surface of the land or through the ground, it dissolves naturally occurring minerals and, in some cases, radioactive material, and can pick up substances resulting from the presence of animals or from human activity. Contaminants that may be present in source water include: • •

Organic chemical contaminants, including synthetic and volatile organic chemicals, which are by-products of industrial processes and petroleum production, and can also come from gas stations, urban stormwater runoff, and septic systems. • Radioactive contaminants, which can be naturally occurring or be the result of oil and gas production and mining activities. In order to ensure that tap water is safe to drink, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) prescribes regulations that limit the amount of certain contaminants in water provided by public water systems. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulations establishes limits for contaminants in bottled water which must provide the same protection for public health. Drinking water, including bottled water, may reasonably be expected to contain at least small amounts of some contaminants. The presence of contaminants does not necessarily indicate that water poses a health risk. More information about contaminants and potential health effects can be obtained by calling the Environmental Protection Agency’s Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800-426-7491). However, some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than the general population. Immuno-compromised persons such as persons with cancer undergoing chemotherapy, persons who have undergone organ transplants, people with HIV/AIDS or other immune system disorders, some elderly, and infants can be particularly at risk from infections. These people should seek advice about drinking water from their health care providers. EPA/CDC guidelines on appropriate means to lessen the risk of infection by Cryptosporidium and other microbial contaminants are available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800-426-7491).

WATER CONSERVATION: Water is our most valuable natural resource. It is essential for life as we know it. Although we in the Northeast have been blessed with, at least until now, what appears to be an unlimited supply of pure, safe drinking water, the preservation of this valuable resource is the responsibility of all. Following are just a few of the many steps that we can all take to prevent the waste and, perhaps loss, of this most valuable gift: 1. 2. 3. 4.

Detect and repair leaky faucets and toilets. Install water-efficient showers and dish-and/or-clothes washers. Limit the time spent in showering. Water lawns and gardens only when needed, and then only early (or late) in the day to prevent water loss by evaporation during the hot period of the day. Add mulch when possible to prevent evaporation. 5. Wash automobiles only when absolutely necessary. 6. Do not leave water running when shampooing or brushing one’s teeth. If we all take these steps as well as any others that you may think of, we will be able to assure ourselves and future generations of a safe, potable drinking water supply for many years to come. Continuous monitoring is also being carried out to provide further protection for our consumers. The Berlin Water Control Commission is proud to offer this report to its customers; and to report that all of the State and Federal requirements for Public Water have not only met but, in most cases, exceeded every standard set by the State and Federal Agencies for quality and safety.

Please Note: The State of Connecticut Department of Public Health has performed an assessment of our drinking water sources. The completed assessment report is available for access on the Drinking Water Division’s web site: address of: www.dph.state.ct.us/BRS/Water/DWD.btm If you have any questions concerning the Berlin Water Control Commission and the water that it supplies, please contact Larry DeAntonio of the Public Health Dept. in Berlin, at (860) 828-7065, Mr. DeAntonio will be most happy to answer any questions that you may have, or supply you with any additional information you may need.

The Berlin Citizen Thursday July 28, 2011

No titles, but a memorable campaign for Post 68 nonetheless By Nick Carroll The Berlin Citizen

No banners were claimed. There was no deep tournament run. Still, the 2011 Berlin Post 68 American Legion baseball team will be one manager Rob Manzo recalls with a lot of pride. After stumbling out of the gate this summer, Manzo’s troops went 9-2 to end the regular season. That run propelled the locals into last week’s state tournament play-in, where they chalked

up two more victories before running out of steam. “It was really two different seasons,” Manzo said looking back on the campaign. “The first half we got off to a rough start. The second half, the guys really started buying in to what we were teaching them, and started to develop a little bit.” “It was fun in the end,” the veteran coach added. “Yeah, we didn’t win a zone championship or a state championship, but these are the years that, as a coach, you really appreciate because you see the difference at the end

of the year.” What makes Post 68’s solid season most improbable is the fact that several guys the team was counting on to return this year opted not to. Those roster spots were filled by Senior Legion newcomers. Manzo praised the efforts of first-year team members Colin King, Jeff Sylvester, Connor Bennett and Tim Norton. “Those four guys really stood out this summer,” he said. “This was their first year at this level, and they really competed.” King led the team with a .333 batting average. He was

followed by Will Matuszak, who hit .321. Also coming through at the plate for Post 68 was Kevin DeVivo (.293, team-high 15 runs) and Jamie Brancato (.288). Brancato and Mike Perno drove in a team-best 13 runs apiece. Staff ace Austin Barnes compiled a 4-2 record and struck out 32. Bennett went 4-1 on the hill. Matuszak was 3-3. Barnes and Sean Sylvester have played their final Legion game. Age-wise, Matuszak, DeVivo, Brancato and Perno can return for more season. However, Manzo is not sure who in that

group will chose to come back. “We’re going to move forward, keep developing players, and do what we do. Hopefully the results we got this summer will attract more people to the program,” Manzo said. “I hope everyone in town sees the value of the Legion program, what Legion is about, how competitive the baseball is. We’re developing players that want to play baseball in the summer, and want to get better. That’s what this program is for. I’m hoping people take advantage of it.”

All-Stars have much to be proud about By Nick Carroll The Berlin Citizen

After tearing through the District 5 tournament without a loss, the “Berlin Bombers” went down quietly in the state sectionals. The usually high-powered Berlin Little League 12-yearold All-Star baseball team dropped all four of its games last week to end its summer run. Like most Little League All-Star teams, the Berlin boys had their sights set on advancing all the way to the World Series in Williamsport, Pennsylvania — and the locals truly believed they could get there. Even after his team dropped its sectional opener, Berlin coach John Giudice’s guys were not rattled. After the loss “they were down, just a little,” Giudice said. The Berlin All-Stars realized their dream of getting to Williamsport — and winning it all — was still alive. “That’s our ultimate goal,” Giudice pointed out. Berlin’s second loss in the sectionals ultimately dashed those hopes. Although Berlin fell well

14s claim district crown The Berlin 14-year-old All-Star baseball team claimed the District 5 championship last week to advance to the state tournament. In the D-5 title game, Alec Norton pitched six strong innings and closer Kyle Wollman sealed the deal for Berlin. Powering the victors at the plate was Anthony Sisti, Logan Taricani and Matt Welch.

The Berlin Little League 12-year-old All-Star baseball team celebrates one of the 36 homeruns it manufactured during the District 5 tournament. short of its mark, it’s clear Giudice enjoyed working with the all-stars. “They’re a great group of kids. They really play well together. They’re very supportive of

each other,” the coach said, pointing out that his players were confident “but very humble.” “They respect teams, but they don’t fear them,” Giu-

dice added. Berlin’s performance in the District 5 tournament was staggering. The all-stars outscored their opponents 161-19 and tallied 36 home-

runs. “I’ve never seen something like that before,” Giudice said, pointing out that his No. 1 through 9 batters all had at least three homeruns during district play. “It’s a pretty amazing thing.” The Berlin All-Stars were Alex Dastoli, Jack Lynch, Brenden Ebert, Nick Naples, Alan Guild Jr., Joe Konowski, Jake Loiselle, Vin Biscoglio, Kyle Mogielnicki, Evan Hilbie, Kevin Roy and Michael Calafiore. Giudice was assisted by Alan Guild and Mike Lynch.

For director, Lee golf tournament a labor of love By Nick Carroll The Berlin Citizen

Ryan Lee is gone, but his spirit is very much alive. “Ryan was just the best, in every sense of the Lee word,” said John McNair, longtime friend of Lee. “He was there for you when you needed him. He could always make you laugh and always make you smile. Even now, there are days when I’m having a rough time and something will happen that will remind me of him, and I’ll start laughing to myself.” Lee, a Berlin High School alumnus, was struck by a taxi in New York City this past Easter and passed away two days later. The 19-yearold was a sophomore at Long

Island University, and a scholarship golfer. “I just kind of sank,” McNair said of hearing the news of Lee’s death. Like many of Lee’s peers, McNair felt lost, dazed in those first dark hours. He got together with another buddy of his and Lee’s, Tim Cote, to mourn the loss. “We just kind of looked at each other and didn’t know what to do,” said McNair. But soon, McNair found a way to spin his grief into a positive — he hatched the idea for a memorial golf tournament. “When everything happened, Mr. and Mrs. Lee were trying to comfort everybody else. I thought ‘How incredible of those two. There has got to be something we can do for them,’” said McNair. “I figured what better way to remember Ryan than to bring everyone together for a day of golf.”

The first annual Ryan T. Lee Golf Classic will be held Friday, Aug. 19 at Timberlin Golf Course. Dinner will follow at The Hawthorne Inn. All proceeds benefit the Ryan T. Lee Memorial Foundation. Putting together a golf tournament is no easy task,

especially when time is of the essence. McNair said without the support of his co-director, Ryan’s father, Dan Lee, and the tournament committee “I don’t think I would have been able to do this.” As of Monday, some 60 golfers had registered for the

Lee Golf Classic. McNair is hoping to double that number in the next three weeks. Also, he is looking to add more tournament sponsors. For more information about the Lee Golf Classic, contact McNair at (860) 9656319; j.mcnair@my.ccsu.edu.

Jennie Scott, of Berlin, will be running in the Rock N’ Roll Providence Half Marathon on Sunday, Aug. 7, as an American Cancer Society DetermiNation athlete. The Society’s DetermiNation is a nationwide program that allows athletes of all abilities to dedicate their training and participation in marathons, half marathons, and other endurance events in honor or in memory of a loved one with cancer, while raising funds to support the Society’s mission to saves lives and create a world with less cancer and more birthdays. Scott is running in memory of her mother, who lost her battle with tongue cancer this past June. Her mother, an avid singer, was diagnosed two years ago, at the age of 63, with stage four tongue cancer. The cancer had spread to her lymph nodes and neck. She underwent extensive surgeries and reconstruction, but the cancer kept coming back, taking

a toll on her mom’s voice and spirits. “You feel so helpless when somebody you love is fighting cancer. I had no idea my mom had so much courage in her until her diagnosis,” explained Scott. For years Scott had been an avid runner, completing a full marathon, and numerous half marathons. While she has never participated in a fund-raising event before, Scott says, “I am following mom’s example and pushing myself to do something I have never done.” By pushing herself to complete this run for the American Cancer Society, Scott feels “like I am fighting along side her, in a different way.” Scott has raised almost $3,500, surpassing her initial fund-raising goal, and is currently the top DetermiNation participant for the Rock N’ Roll Providence Half Marathon.

Blueberry Continued from page 5

can managed by hand picking, beer traps (saucers of beer placed through out the garden), or designing an ambush site to collect them. I place a slightly elevated flat board in the garden as an attractive resting area during the day. Slugs will collect on the underside just waiting for you to scrape them off into a cup of soapy water and dispose of. Iron phosphate, which can be found in several natural slug remedies works great and as an added benefit, enriches your garden soil. Now for the insects. Being a good gardener you know there are good bugs and bad bugs. Good bugs pollinate our plants and some even eat the bad bugs. Bad bugs eat what we want to eat. Attracting beneficial insects and creatures can be as simple as planting a perimeter crop of dill, yarrow, asters, sunflowers and the like. Heck, you can even order beneficial insects through a catalog to release in your garden. Attracting birds to your garden by sprinkling birdseed on the ground works great. A birdbath placed near your garden is also a bird magnet. For those persistent insects that just won’t quit, I use one of three or a combination of the following on my plants. The first is diatomaceous earth or DE for short. DE is fossilized silica shells from one celled organisms called diatoms. DE works by drying out the waxy layer on an insect. DE is also nontoxic. The second

is Bacillus thuringiensis or BT. BT is a microbial insecticide (bacteria) that causes disease in caterpillars and several other garden insect pests. BT must be eaten by the insect therefore is safe for the insects that do not feed on plants. The third is pyrethrum. Pyrethrum is a botanical insecticide derived from the dried flower head of a species of chrysanthemum. All of these are available, effective, and safe if used correctly. Each can be purchased as a dust and can be mixed together for application. My last bit of advice is to spend time in your garden. You can have that garden you dream about. Happy gardening, healthy eating and I will see you in the garden. (John Biella advises the Hatchery Brook Community Garden project.)

Kensington resident Steve Nims was recently honored as Rotarian of the Year of the New Britain-Berlin Rotary Club. Nims, principal of Associated Insurance Services, received the award from Joan Mercier, last year’s recipient. Nims was honored for his participation in the work of the Rotary Club including serving meals at the “Out of the Cold” program for the Salvation Army, his role as cochair of the club’s golf tournament for a second year, co-chair of the holiday wreath sale and his appointment as member-at-large on the board of directors for the second consecutive year.
