BHS unveils first class of athletic Hall of Fame By Nick Carroll Sports Editor

Berlin resident David Piryk stands in the foreground as a rocket takes off from Kennedy Space Center.

This really is rocket science By Olivia L. Lawrence Associate Editor David Piryk, 21, a 2006 Berlin High School graduate, is “a chemical engineerslash-rocket scientist.” Of so swiftly fulfilling goals he’s had since he was a kid, Piryk said “I still can’t believe it.” He’s spent the last two summers working as an intern for Analex Corporation; contractors for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. That internship has been a revelation and a dream come true. “Being at the Kennedy Space Center that was something incredible in itself — being around all the

history,” Piryk said. He is currently a senior in the chemical engineering program at Florida Institute of Technology. Analex tapped him for one of its coveted internships in 2008 and invited him back again this year. The firm has offered him a summer job in 2010. Those back-to-back internships are hard to come by as the competition is tough, said Debbie Piryk, David Piryk’s mother. David Piryk is the son of Debbie and Greg Piryk of Berlin. “It could lead to something wonderful,” she said. According to company litSee Piryk, page 6

When he announced that the Berlin High School Athletic Hall of Fame was in the works, BHS athletics director and Hall of Fame committee member Jim Day stressed that the process would not be rushed. He stayed true to that. This week, more than a year after the committee convened for the first time, the inaugural Hall of Fame class was announced. Entering the Hall of Fame will be, from the 1939-1960 era: Richard Patterson, Victor Baccaro, Phil Tinsley, Anthony Legnani, Henry Mora and Gary Waslewski. From the 1961-1980 era: Paul Barretta. And from the 1981-2000 era: Pam Wallace, Deb Larson, Robyn Trevethan, Adam Salina and Edward Hrubiec. Also being inducted into the Hall are coaches Don Bates

and Bill Gibney and contributors Art Kevorkian Sr. and Roy Fabian. The Hall of Fame committee sought nominations from the community, and whittled the list down to the current crop of inductees. Moving forward, Hall of Fame classes will not be so large. Day indicated that he learned a lot about the history of BHS athletics while the inaugural class was being pieced together. “For me, the process has been wonderful,” he said. Committee Chairman Jerry Siegal, who did countless hours of research, echoed Day’s sentiment. “It was very interesting, and a lot of fun doing it,” Siegal said. “I think we have a good group to start this Hall of Fame with. Between the athletes, coaches and contributors, these people have done so much.” But, of course, Siegal is

aware that worthy candidates were passed by this time around. “They’ll get in in the future,” he said. “Their time will come.” “Athletes from the past 20, 30 years; we really need for them, their friends, and family to step up and get them nominated,” Siegal added. The Hall of Fame will be located across from the media center at BHS. Although his exploits on the football field made his induction to the Hall of Fame a virtual certainty, Mayor Adam Salina is humbled by the honor. “Playing sports in Berlin is some of the most fun I’ve ever had. It was a great time, and I have many fond memories,” said the 1993 BHS graduate, who continued his football career at Stanford University, and later, had tryouts with the Green Bay Packers,

Work never ends in prep for Fair Countdown to the Fair

4 Weeks

By Olivia L. Lawrence Associate Editor The president of this year’s 61st Annual Berlin Fair sponsored by the Berlin Lions Club has several important messages for fairgoers and volunteers. (It’s hard to believe but the fair is just four weeks away by the time you’re reading this.) Fair President Jeff Glatz said that while the economy has been struggling for a while, families can still enjoy an economical outing to the fair. “We are not raising our

prices and we are not charging for parking — we do not charge for parking on or off site,” Glatz said. He also wanted to remind all fair volunteers to come out to the fairgrounds Sept. 16 for the volunteer dinner. That’s when volunteers — in addition to a great meal — receive name badges which entitle them to certain benefits while they work at the fair. Glatz said he’s been delivering posters around town and found that people are waiting for signs that the fair is on its way. “People have a

paid off and the health and stability of the tax base. In assigning the rating, Salina said Standard & Poor’s looked at issues such as Northeast Utilities moving part of its operations and staff to Hartford and what impact that could have on the town’s revenues. However, as NU is currently expanding its facility and bringing in other employees, the “net result” is essentially even, he said. According to Standard & Poor’s “The stable outlook reflects our expectation that the town’s financial and debt positions will remain favorable, with the anticipation of steady growth of the economic and tax bases. The outlook also reflects the town’s ongoing diversification of the tax base, removing much of the potential volatility from the Town’s revenue base.” Salina said “Berlin’s financial position continues to be solid. Our approach to debt service has been to pay

In a vote of confidence from Wall Street, Standard & Poor’s recently affirmed its bond rating of AA for the town. “We’re very pleased to have the double-A rating affirmed and to stay where we are after (the difficult economic times) last year. It’s reassuring to see that we remain in good standing,” said Mayor Adam Salina. “This represents Standard & Poor’s continued confidence in Berlin and ensures our ability to maintain lower costs for future financing. In light of the current national credit crisis, and at a time when many municipalities are being downgraded, this AA rating is remarkable and extraordinary. This is an affirmation of the effectiveness of our ongoing effort at fiscal restraint and our business-like approach to cutting costs.” The rating of AA applies

to all general obligation bonds guaranteed by the town and allows Berlin to use bond proceeds to finance capital projects and make open space acquisitions at very low rates of interest. The town previously held a double-A rating, however, retaining that status in this economy has been difficult for some municipalities, according to recent news reports. Standard & Poor’s credit analysts noted that AA rating reflected their opinion of the town’s strong and stable financial profile, citing Berlin’s maintenance of a high fund balance and a manageable capital improvement program. A good bond rating is comparable to an individual’s good credit rating, giving him or her an opportunity to get lower rates on loans, Salina said. A bond rating is determined through such areas as the diversity of the tax base, the strength of the fund balance, how quickly debt is

Berlin-Peck Library holds ‘Berlin’s Top Chef’ contest By Olivia L. Lawrence Associate Editor It was likely the yummiest event ever staged at the Berlin-Peck Memorial Library when a special summer library program held its judging Aug. 25 for “Berlin’s Top Chef.” The contest was for adults, teens and children in the categories of appetizer and dessert. The recipe had to be one from a library cookbook. More than 30 food-loving readers participated. Long tables, laden with cakes, tarts, and other desserts and appetizers filled the community room with the smell of good cooking that would have brought a smile to Julia Child’s or Emeril’s face. “We had more entries than we’d anticipated,” said Sara Munson, library director, adding that Berlin’s contest received more response than similar events at other area libraries. “This is definitely a treat for me,” said Gail Dwyer, one of five judges. Dwyer teaches family and life science at

Chef Continued from page 3 younger crowd. The cooking contest fit in with those ideas. Rice, along with reference librarian Carrie Tyszka, helped organize the special summer activity. The judging panel took its work seriously and the task was daunting. Library Director Sara Munson cautioned the judges to stick to small portions as there was much to sample. Town Clerk Kate Wall said she’d refrained from eating in preparation for the judging. While perhaps not gourmet cooks, “we’re gourmet eaters,” Town Manager Denise McNair joked. Co-president of the Friends of the Berlin-Peck Library Nancy Driska said

“I’m an amateur cook at home.” Rounding out the expert panel from the Library’s Board of Directors was Chairman Frank Steele. The entries were judged on a scale of one to 10 on: appearance, texture, taste, presentation, and ingredients. Joshua Rigsby, 9, entered a cheese stick appetizer with a recipe from “The Dean Family Cookbook” by Paula Dean. His sister Katherine, 5, and brother Evan, 11, lent support while their brother dropped off his entry. Children’s appetizer category: Joshua’s cheese straws went on to win in the children’s appetizer category. (See a list of the winners below.) “We do a lot of cooking at home,” Evan said. The children’s parents are Sean and Elizabeth Rigsby. Rice noted that Sharon Straka, who won for her

“herb tarte” in the adult appetizer category, also participated in the adult summer reading program a few years ago and won the weekly prize which included items for gardening — including herb seeds. Straka planted thyme, which she was able to pick and use for the herb tarte. The winners for the title of Berlin’s Top Chefs are: Adult dessert category: Kathleen McKernan made lemon ricotta tea cookies from the cookbook “Giada’s Kitchen” by Giada DeLaurentiis. Adult appetizer category: Sharon Straka made herb tarte from the cookbook “Shakespeare’s Kitchen” by Francine Segan.

Academy opens at former site of Worthington School By Olivia L. Lawrence Associate Editor The staff at Mountain Laurel Sudbury School was working last week to open its doors in Berlin Sept. 1. The Sudbury school brings an opportunity for a particular brand of alternative education to area students. Located at 1528 Farmington Ave., in the building that formerly housed the Worthington School for Young Children, staff said the facility will offer “a small private school” setting to students from age three. The school previously was at St. Mark’s Church in New Britain. The school is renting the facility from Kathy DeMarco who owns the building and who was the director of the Worthington School for Young Children which closed last summer. The building is a former grange building and DeMarco was looking for a tenant or buyer who would preserve its integrity.

Shae Nethercott is president of the Mountain Laurel Sudbury School assembly and Sean Vivier is a staff person. They were working last week to put the finishing touches on the school and were arranging the space with a library area, video area and many other interest areas. “Students have a natural curiosity and learn better when they want to learn,” Nethercott said. “People show a preference for learning certain things at various ages.” Vivier explained how the role of staff at a Sudbury school is to help students explore their interests and to help each student find the resources to support his or her learning process. Liam Marshall-Butler, 10, has been a student at the Sudbury school since he was four. He recently learned to read, as this was his “self-selected” time to do so, said

Piryk Continued from page 1 erature, “Analex Corporation is a leading provider of mission-critical professional services to federal government clients. We specialize in providing innovative engineering and management solutions for defense, intelligence, and space programs. Our key customers include U.S. military services, joint agencies, the intelligence community, and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.” David Piryk said, since he had the opportunity to work with NASA in its launch

services program, he’s been involved in “vehicle engineering and analysis.” Analex works to “find anything that goes wrong with the missions.” The program he was involved with dealt with expendable launch vehicles — rockets. “When you’re launching billion dollar rockets, you want to know if it’s going to work up there,” he said. Piryk had a hectic schedule over the summer, finishing classes May 7 and beginning an internship May 11 which continued to Aug. 14, then back to class Aug. 17. While he was smart, her son was no “brainiac,” said his mother. However, “he al-

ways enjoyed sciences.” His parents could tell he was “going to go in a serious direction” with those interests, Debbie Piryk said. “I had great teachers at McGee (McGee Middle School) and at Berlin High School,” David Piryk said. He recalled one McGee teacher in particular. “Mr. Kucharski — the K-man” provided support and inspiration for this student’s budding “passion for chemistry.” While he’s done well at school, Piryk echoed his mother’s sentiment. “I’m not a brainiac.” But when he met the “higher-ups” who select interns for Analex program he believes he must have “made some kind of impres-

sion and someone gave me a shot.” Analex provides professional services in five major areas: embedded and enterprise IT engineering solutions; systems engineering, operations and acquisition solutions; hardware and software design engineering and integration solutions; program, information and technology security solutions; and intelligence and counterintelligence. Most people think of the space shuttle program as NASA’s primary project, and don’t realize all the other applications that space technology is involved in, David Piryk said. “There’s a whole other world out there,” he said, for instance, NASA sends out satellites and Mars rovers and has many other missions. The STS-128 launched Aug. 25 to deliver equipment and supplies to the International Space Station. NASA’s lunar reconnaissance orbiter is now in lunar orbit and the lunar crater observation and sensing satellite will impact the surface in October. The focus of the group Piryk worked with was magnetic compatibility. “The work I was doing there was writing a program to developing and design the next generation of lightning detection systems.” Piryk said Cape Canaveral has thunderstorms every day and “lightning is a huge issue when it comes to mission analysis…if a lightning storm comes around and lightning hits nearby, the current can affect the circuitry of these payloads.” The systems he is involved in designing can provide accurate information about a “lightning event.” Such as, where it came from, how close, and what kind of cur-

rents and magnetic impact it had on circuits, he said. He has two older brothers, one works at Rolls Royce and the other is a financial advisor. According to David Piryk, the brother at Rolls Royce used to try to claim bragging rights by saying he was building and testing engines for the company. David Piryk would shoot back “Well, I’m going to the Kennedy Space Center in Florida and making the next rocket fuel.” “It was always a joke,” Piryk said. Then he found himself with the opportunity to go to school at FIT, just one hour south of the KSC, and that friendly one-upmanship became a reality. “None of this would have been possible without the support of my family and especially my parents,” David Piryk said. He’s attended three shuttle launches and “I’ve been as close as anyone is possibly able to get to a shuttle launch,” Piryk said. That’s 2.5 miles away in what is known as the vehicle assembly building, (formerly the vertical assembly building) one of the largest buildings in the world. The vibrations are awesome “you can feel it in your chest,” Piryk said, adding, you can feel it in the ground, all around, even in the people standing next to you. Among the flights he’s witnessed are Delta II launches and an Atlas 5 payload launch which is “one of the step first steps back to the moon,” he said. Piryk is excited as he looks forward to “a whole world of opportunity as an engineer” in areas of research in propulsion, pyrotechnics, thermo analysis, and contamination control in spacecrafts.

School Continued from page 5 Nethercott. Vivier said Liam reads at the level of an average 10 year-old. “I like the school a lot,” Liam said. The Mountain Laurel School has been in operation for nearly eight years. The Sudbury name refers to Sudbury Valley School founded in 1968 in Framingham, Mass. and that school was the inspriration for other schools who adopted that name and philosophy. There are approximately 30 Sudbury schools worldwide.

These are not formally associated in any way, however, the schools generally maintain good communication with each other, according to various online resources. The original Sudbury Valley School states its mssion as to let “students from preschool through high school age explore the world freely, at their own pace and in their own unique ways. They learn to think for themselves, and learn to use Information Age tools to unearth the knowledge they need from multiple sources. They develop the ability to make clear logical arguments, and deal with complex ethical issues. Through self-initiated activities, they pick up the

basics; as they direct their lives, they take responsibility for outcomes, set priorities, allocate resources, and work with others in a vibrant community. Trust and respect are the keys to the school’s success. Students enjoy total intellectual freedom, and unfettered interaction with other students and adults. Through being responsible for themselves and for the school’s operation, they gain the internal resources needed to lead effective lives.” Tuition at the Berlin facility is under $6,000 a year and financial aid is available, Vivier said. The school is supported through fundraising and tuition.

man activity. With this approach, students individually decide what to do with their time, and learn as a byproduct of ordinary experience rather than adopting a descriptive educational syllabus or standardized instruction by classes following a prescriptive curriculum. Students are given complete responsibility for their own education and the school is run by a direct democracy in which students and staff are equals. Unlike some democratic schools and “free schools” age groups are mixed and there are no formal classes. Age-mixing is seen as a tool for learning and development in all ages. Sudbury schools take the approach that “class work” stems from the belief that every individual learns what they need to know through life and that there is no need to design a curriculum to prepare a young person for adult life.

The school can accommodate approximately 20 students and is accepting enrollees at this time. Students from the New Britain site will now attend at the Berlin location. “It’s a democratically run school,” Nethercott said. Each staff and student has one vote and everything from the budget to the daily rules to hiring and firing is decided by the assembly. “It helps them mature,” Nethercott said. Being part of the process also means participants are invested in the rules and all other aspects of the operation of the program. According to various online resources about Sudbury schools, Sudbury schools are based on the belief that no kind of curriculum is necessary to prepare a young person for adult life. Instead, these schools place emphasis on learning as a natural by-product of all hu-

Fair Continued from page 1 lot of passion for it.” He said the fair book will be available soon. As for himself, Glatz said “It’s going to be my best fair ever.” That’s because for most of the past 30 years he’s worked the beer tent and hasn’t had as much opportunity as he might have liked to be out and about on the fairgrounds. “This year I’ll be able to really get involved and live it. This is the first year I’ll get to see frog-jumping and all the shows you

miss when you have to do your job.” There are no major developments on the fairgrounds this year. The club spends about 25 percent of its profits in maintenance and there’s been a lot of that going on. “We’re keeping the grounds fresh and clean. Mowing, painting — the bulk of it is done every week,” Glatz said crediting the many volunteers who spend countless hours on those tasks. The crews are out there every Monday and Wednesday for the final weeks and people working in church and fire department booths are getting their sites ready as well.

Box 438, Kensington CT. 06037. Any questions please call (860) 829-5720. Here are a couple of fair memories from Berlin Lions Club members: I was so proud and happy

to be President of the 2006 Berlin Fair. This was a yearlong commitment and I really got to see and enjoy the fair. Before this I was on the mowing committee and worked wherever needed during the fair. I have attended the fair for over 40 years and volunteered for over 25 years. I made daily trips to the fairgrounds and watched as the Lions did the projects that were approved for the year such as roof repairs, painting, road repairs, landscaping. It was a joy to watch Lindsey Fortunato and family renovate the Girl Scout building, and to see the different churches and organizations prepare for the fair. We had a record Saturday attendance with Governor M. Jodi Rell and Attorney General Richard Blumenthal attending to honor Lindsey Fortunato. I had a great time handing out trophies and awards. I got to see my first pig race, nail driving contest, children’s

tractor pull, entertainment and walking around with my family and tasting the different foods. We Lions put a lot of planning, time and work into the fairgrounds and each year improvements are made. We could not do this with-

out the help of volunteers, police and fire departments and most of all the families that support our fair. — Irene Hillstrand President Berlin Fair 2006 My favorite memories of the Fair have to do with children. Since my dad, William Mayer, was a Lion, my brothers and sisters and I used to be able to run around the fairgrounds when we were kids. We thought we were the coolest because when we went in to school on Thursday and Friday (yep, it used to be a half day, not a whole day off) we got to tell the other kids what rides we liked and if there was anything new at the fair that year. The children of the Lions members used to play tag and hide-and-seek those nights leading up to the fair and it was so much fun. I’m not sure that my dad or some of his friends, who aren’t around today, would recognize the fair.

There are many new things each year. The place where all the kiddie rides are, used to be parking. The quarter midget track is new and has been a huge hit. Then there is the big stage and entertainment, another big hit. I honestly can’t wait for this year’s entertainment: country superstar Phil Vassar and ’70’s icons Grand Funk Railroad. I’m sure my dad would have fought the change but he would have loved the final product. Then he would take his seat at the grill of the Berlin Lions food booth. That would never change. Now the fair is about me working as a member of the Lions, but it’s also about giving my children the same opportunities I had. They get to see the fair in a different way than their friends. It makes them feel special just like it did for me back in the day. Robert Mayer, Managing Editor Berlin Citizen Berlin Lions Club

Letters to the Editor Clergy is fighting VIP

To the editor: V. I. P. has different meanings. To me it means “very illegal practice.” The town lawyers are doing their best in court to fight it. It also means “very immoral practice.” The role of the pastor is to help facilitate his parishioners to take the lead in fighting for their neighborhood against this very immoral practice. Our sermons have pointed this out. V. I. P. also means “very immature practice.” Because many men frequent the two adult immature and immoral places on the Berlin Turnpike, we have billboards near these places to challenge them to help handle their childish immoral behavior when they read the billboard that says, “Lord, help me to remember that nothing is going to happen to me today that you and I together cannot handle.” Billboards are drive-by prayers to help people handle their temptations of immoral behavior. Many other people come and thank me for the billboards as the drive-by prayer gives them strength to handle the cross of losing their jobs, their health, their homes and many other crosses they have to carry. Yes, we are fighting and speaking out through our sermons, our parishioners and the billboards. Rev. Edmund Nadolny Sacred Heart Church

Hall Continued from page 1 the Dallas Cowboys and the San Francisco 49ers. “The most pure fun was in high school.” Speaking as mayor, Salina is glad the town’s legendary athletes — the older ones especially — will now be immortalized. “It’s a good thing to recognize and remember the athletes that contributed decades ago. A lot of history is lost nowadays,” Salina said. The Hall of Fame “is a wonderful addition” to the town, he added. “It allows us to remember the past and have it live on.” The Hall of Fame induction banquet will be held March 21 at the Crowne Plaza in Cromwell. Check out upcoming editions of The Citizen for inductee biographies.

Letters Continued from page 14 Vinnie Trigila. A total of over $5,000 has been raised to help offset the cost of the enormous expense of sending us to the States, Regionals and the 2009 American Legion World Series. Again, thank you and we’re looking forward to making 2010 another successful season. To see photos and highlights of the victory party held Aug. 21, visit salinaphotos.com and go to Berlin Community.

Berlin-Peck Memorial Library celebrates 180 years The Berlin-Peck Memorial Library was founded in 1829. We are the fifth oldest library in the State of Connecticut. Due to the late 1990’s technology boom, the public can now check out DVDs, books on CDs, music CDs, and the newest book media, Playaways – books on MP3 players. We also have museum passes for the public that provide either free admission to the institutions or reduced price admissions, compliments of the Friends of the Library. There is a Local History Room manned by the Town Historian on Wednesdays. Their next project is to digitize the Local History Room’s photographic collection. In addition, Marjorie Moore grants have made information available digitally and eventually will be accessible through the Library’s Web Page. Computers are available for public use at no charge. The library website is www.berlinpeck.lib.ct.us. We also offer databases such as Issues and Controversies, Automobile Repair, and the Berlin Citizen On-Line. The library belongs to the consortia, Library Connection, Inc., the on-line catalog 24/7 available to the public to look up the availability of titles, check their records, renew items, place holds locally and area-wide at home and in

Berlin-Peck Memorial Library staff members include, from left, Mindy Morrison, Pamela Liakopoulos, Ursula Pendleton, Betsy Piskorski, Irene DeSanto, Shirley Kuchaarczyk, Sara Munson and Cathy Nelson. the library. We have instituted email notification of reserve items and two days ahead notification when items become due. Through Library Connection we participate in OVERDRIVE - downloadable audiobooks and e-books. Titles are downloaded to a computer and/or stored on portable CD devices. The service now includes downloading to MP-3 devices including iPods. The Friends of the Library were founded in 1987 by Blanche Delany, a long time library supporter. Their main fundraiser, a yearly book sale, has grown into a three day a week book sale in

the lower level of the library. Books are for sale in the lobby of the Library. The money they raise supports library improvements which recently provided new furniture and decorations in the young adult section. In the past few years the Friends Board have presented informational programs at the Library and supported staff run events. The Library participates in the State-supported programs such as the state-wide catalog called REQUEST. Through it we have access to other Connecticut towns’ library collections. Titles can be requested through the li-

brary or be requested directly. State supported services such as Info Anytime, using a chat format to interact with patrons, provide help locating information 24/7. The new State service, JobNow, uses the same format to assist job hunters. The other State service we participate in is ICONN.org, an information database containing e-books, full-text magazine articles, genealogy help, and photograph archives. Many changes have occurred in the Library over its 180 year history. But be assured that the goal of public service will never be outmoded.

Berlin Briefs Six seek BOE openings Six people have taken out petitions from the town clerk’s office seeking to get their names on the ballot for three Board of Education openings. The nine member board is nonpartisan. It has staggered terms and this November terms expire for incumbants Gary Brochu, Chris Puzio and Richard Price, all of whom are seeking re-election. Also seeking a school board seat are Tim Oakes, George Perduta and Kristin Campanelli.

These six individuals have taken out a petition and need to obtain signatures from one percent of the registered electors in order to obtain a slot on the ballot. As of press time, only Campanelli had returned her petition which came in Aug. 24. Petitions must be returned to the town clerk’s office for certification by Sept. 8. Brochu, first elected in 1997 and currently president of the school board, announced his intention to run in an Aug. 31 press release. (See The Citizen website for the text of his remarks.)

Kensington Cafe serves up good food and good times By Dave Catlin Special to The Citizen

But, my appetite and appreciation for food was called upon to create the standards for our menu. This was truly my calling, instructing people how to make a great sandwich, Dave Catlin-style. Here we are five years into the business. We have established our niche. The one constant is Sharon. Her hand is in everything; cooking, serving, cleaning, purchasing and paying. We are fortunate to have the friendliest person in town as our breakfast waitress. Debbie Landon makes everyone’s morning a little brighter. The current economy has impacted everyone. Small businesses are dropping all over the country. We have taken a number of steps to assure our survival, one of which is a commitment to hold our prices during these difficult times, and look for opportunities to offer lower prices or lower priced options.

We are the Kensington Cafe and we first opened for business on June 1, 2004 with lots of enthusiasm and great intentions. After a few months our enthusiasm was wavering and our great intentions were in doubt. Then we met Billy. Bill Gelmini was a retired local restaurantuer. His prominence came from the old Village Restaurant that used to be on Farmington Avenue, where CVS is today. Billy liked our place and seemed to like us. He was a blunt man to put it mildly. His initial comment to us was, “Waddya crazy? Ya can’t sell nuked eggs and sausage to people from Berlin!” Apparently, he did not care for our fast food approach to breakfast sandwiches. And there began our evolution. Hours of operation changed, food prep changed, service changed, and Billy came out of retirement. He taught us much. We consider 9/1/04 our official Grand re-Opening. The cafe is really about my wife, Sharon Catlin. It was her dream. With 35 years of waitress experience, she truly understands customer expectations and does her best to see that those are met. Me, on the other-hand, I was a 33 year veteran of corporate management, who had just lost his job. I knew how to run stuff ! Or so I thought...until Sharon fired me. It would appear that a local, friendly cafe was not at all like a big ball bearing company.

We accept Visa, Master Card and checks that don’t bounce. And as always, our commitment to provide a quality product in a clean and friendly atmosphere remains the same.

BHS coaching staff gets a makeover Five teams to have new leaders By Nick Carroll Sports Editor The Berlin High School athletics department has added three new coaches to its ranks; Amanda McCarthy has been handed the reins of the girls swim team, Steve Soucy will lead the cross country team, and Jim Barnes will navigate the girls golf program. McCarthy, a recent BHS and Iona College graduate, replaces Eileen Thurston. McCarthy was an accomplished swimmer in both high school and college. “It’s wonderful to have one of our first star swimmers come back to lead the program,” BHS athletics director Jim Day said. “Her energy is going to be a real positive.” The girls swim team finished third at the Nutmeg League meet and ninth in the CIAC Class M state meet in 2008. Soucy, a physical education teacher, takes over for longtime coach Dave Scannell, who he assisted last season. Soucy’s impressive running resume includes five marathons, two ultramarathons and an Ironman triathlon. In 2008, the BHS boys team ran to a sixth place finish at the Northwest Conference championship meet and placed 15th at the CIAC Class MM meet, while the girls team finished fifth at the NWC meet and 17th in Class MM. Barnes replaces Jim Bryers. The new head man, the father of BHS golf great Erica Barnes, played college golf “and really took his daughter’s game to another level,” Day said. Day was surprised Barnes

was interested in the BHS job, but is thrilled to have him on board. “He was extremely enthusiastic, and has a sound core value system about what he wants to get done with the girls,” Day said. Last spring, the girls golf team won the Northwest

Conference championship and finished 10th at the CIAC state tournament. BHS will welcome two more new coaches relatively soon. John Fote has resigned as head coach of the boys basketball team. Fote, the team’s third head man in three years, cited career ad-

vancement as his reason for stepping down. “He was real emotional about leaving,” Day said. “With him, I thought I had a coach for years to come. But we’ll find somebody.” As to when he would like to have the position filled by, Day said “yesterday.”

The boys basketball team finished 11-11 last winter. Also, Scott Burns will not be back to lead the very successful girls track and field team. Burns spent 15 years at the helm of the program. Day said Burns’ replacement will not be named before January.

Local rifleman returns to nationals In July, Berlin’s Andrew Marzec, once again, competed in the National Smallbore Rifle Matches held at Camp Perry in Port Clinton, Ohio. The matches were founded by President Theodore Roosevelt in 1907. This year, Marzec, 20, qualified for the Connecticut Rifle and Revolver Association. The team was comprised of the top four junior (21-year-old and under) shooters in the state, determined by local and regional matches held in the months leading to the Camp Perry event. In Ohio, the Connecticut team finished first in the State Association match and placed third overall in the team match, falling only to the Australian National Team and the U.S Army Marksmanship Unit. “Camp Perry is recognized on a worldwide level as the most challenging range, as it is located right on Lake Erie. Weather and wind conditions take extreme changes in a moment’s time,” Marzec explained. “This year was no different; the first day was by far the worst, with winds over 30 miles-per-hour, heavy rain and temperatures in the 40s and 50s.” In the end, Marzec finished 13th out of 69 in the Junior category (ages 18-21), fifth out of 69 in the Junior Any Sight Match and 58th overall in the 325-person field. Also, he was the overall match winner for the Any Sight 100yard match, and he earned High Junior and High Collegiate honors in some daily matches. “Many people believe this is the first time a community college student has reached this position,” said Marzec, who attends Tunxis Community College. “Usually, this place is dominated by NCAA Division 1 shooters who have time already structured into their class schedules all year just for intense daily practices.” Marzec also competed in the Mentor Match at Camp Perry, a match in which two shooters are paired together for a combined score. Marzec competed alongside Australian Will Godward. The duo placed 20th out of 68 pairs. “Will is a world cup competitor and is likely to be a future Olympian in London 2012,” Marzec said. While in Ohio, Marzec and his Connecticut teammates were invited to the Blackhawk team dinner. “The Blackhawk team is comprised of shooters who have reached incredible milestones both on and off the range,” Marzec said. “It was inspiring to socialize with such accomplished See Rifle, page 27

The Naturals defeated the Spring Creek Bombers from New York in the World Series championship game. Williams, a catcher, helped eliminate the Bombers’ run game, throwing out three would-be base-stealers. Williams came through at the plate, as well. With the Naturals trailing 3-1, he manufactured a three-run double to put his team ahead for good. Williams is pictured with his coach, Paul Cambra.

Due to the stringent training schedule the sport requires, Marzec, busy with work and school, does not plan to return to the nationals any time soon. “Looking back on my last venture out there, I don’t think I’ll have any regrets next summer staying home while the rest of the team defends our titles,” said Marzec, whose competitive shooting career began at age 9 at the Mattabassett Rifle and Pistol Club in Berlin.

Helping the Earth

Sorting Through Recycling Do you and your family recycle? You probably have already learned how important it is for the environment. Have you ever wondered what happens after you put the newspaper, cans or glass in the bin? The Mini Page takes a closer look at this important activity.

A recycling tradition People have always recycled. Before machines and big factories, most things were made by hand. Materials were so hard to get and items took so long to make that everyone recycled. For centuries, people have: s MELTED DOWN METAL goods to make new tools or jewelry; s TORN DOWN OLD buildings and reused the bricks or wood to build something new; s CUT UP OLD CLOTHES AND other cloth goods to make other clothes, quilts and rugs; s RECYCLED PAPER TO make new paper.

art courtesy Works Projects Administration Poster Collection, Library of Congress

The first time there was a major government campaign to educate people about the importance of recycling was during World War II. The government urged people to salvage, or save, metal, paper, rubber and other material.

World War II

Environmental movement

During World War II, America needed metal and other materials to fight the war. The government started a campaign to convince people to recycle. Signs urged people to pile up their scrap metal for collection. This could include things such as pots and pans, rakes, irons or birdcages. These metal objects might then be recycled as bullets. Kids pulled wagons from door to door gathering the metal. After the war was over, materials remained scarce, and people continued to recycle for many years.

In the 1960s, people became more concerned about the environment. They started to realize we were using up the Earth’s resources. In the 1970s, rising energy costs and a gasoline shortage made people pay attention to vanishing fuel. At the same time, landfills got full and there was no place to put the waste. People re-learned how important it is not to waste resources. It became clear that recycling was necessary. In 1960, the United States recycled around 6 percent of its waste. Today we are recycling about 33 percent, or one-third, of our waste. Americans create about 254 million tons of garbage each year. We recycle only about 85 million tons of that.

Circuit board parts are then melted down, and the metals are separated from each other. Regular recyclable materials such as plastic or glass are sent to businesses that re-use those materials.

Items such as computers, TVs and cell phones create special recycling problems. They are made of so many different materials, they must be handled extra-carefully. Communities may have special times or places for people to bring electronic waste, or e-waste, for recycling. E-waste cannot be mixed with other recycling materials. E-waste recyclers take special care so that nobody is hurt. There have been problems with some e-waste facilities in China. Circuit board metals have ended up in Chinese rivers, polluting the water. People have gotten sick.
