Council OK’s road widening, fee waivers By Charles Kreutzkamp The Berlin Citizen
Two local business owners spoke during Public Comment in favor of a proposal to widen roads, including Washington, Baker, and Bruce Avenue. Randy Carol, a resident and business owner on Bruce Avenue, said that the narrow road – currently about half as wide as standard residential roads – is difficult for trucks to navigate, and that snow removal is poor due to the narrowness of the road. There is a lot of truck traffic on the road, including gasoline tankers, Carol said. The council approved the proposal. According to Director of Public Works Arthur Simonian, typically, it is not necessary for the council to
approve road repaving, but in this case, it is necessary because the road must be widened. Simonian said that the road has drainage issues that will be improved by the repaving and widening. The road will be broken down and completely replaced, as public works has done numerous patch and pothole filling jobs on the road in the past. “We will widen as far as we can without impacting drainage wells,” Simonian said. The majority of the road will be widened to 24 feet, the standard residential road width. The council also approved fee waivers for Raising Berlin’s movie night and for Girl Scout Troop 66286 to hold a fundraising event – either a pasta supper or pancake
breakfast – at the Senior Center. The troop initially requested fee waivers for multiple events, but the council approved just one waiver, and invited the troop to re-apply for future fee waivers to keep an eye on costs associated with the fundraiser. Town Manager Denise McNair stated that Senior Center Director Tina Doyle wishes to encourage the use of the Senior Center, and that it is hoped that the costs associated with the fundraiser would be minimal. Councilor Charles Paonessa, recalling time spent as a Boy Scout working with seniors, said that he believed it is beneficial to encourage interaction between young people and seniors. The motion passed unanimously.

The fourth annual movie night, showing The Lego Movie, put on by Raising Berlin, at Sage Park June 21 had the best turnout the group has ever seen, with a crowd arriving well in advance of showtime. “It was an excellent turnout and we hadn’t even started,” Ally Riedel, secretary of Raising Berlin said. This year, Raising Berlin partnered with UpBeat and the town Parks and Recreation Department. Turnout looked like it
may be as many as 300 people, according to Raising Berlin President Jennifer Czerwinski. A lot of things came together for this year’s high turnout, Czerwinski said. Due to highly successful fundraising efforts earlier this year, the group was able to put up signs advertising the event. The group also offered free popcorn to people who connected to the group’s Facebook Event page, which helped to promote the event. “We’re extremely happy with the weather,” Riedel added.
Raising Berlin also scheduled the movie night much closer to the end of the school year, when fewer people would be on vacation, Riedel said. It’s also nice having the event on one of the longest days of the year, she said. Kate Frederick’s first event as next year’s leader of the UpBeat Adventure House was to coordinate free face-painting for the movie night. The group also considered doing balloon animals, but decided against it due to litter issues.

“06222014,” is how Valedictorian Nicole Grieco began her speech at the Berlin High School graduation held in Welte Auditorium at Central Connecticut State University June 22. Grieco, first among 240 graduates this year, plans to become an engineer. She said her favorite subject was math since elementary. The class of 2014’s top student went on to explain that the numbers referred to the date. “It is just a numerical sequence
that fails to capture our excitement for an event 13 years in the making,” Greico said. She delivered her remarks to the Berlin High School grads using PEMDAS – the order of operations – as a metaphor. Starting with parenthesis, Greico advised the start of the decision-making process be informed by first looking at what is inside, considering “beliefs and feelings.” The next step is to take risks, which, like exponents, can have an enormous effect on outcomes.

The crash caused the train to derail. The wood chipper and trailer were on fire when first responders arrived. The passengers who spoke to the media said there was a jolt when the train hit the truck and the train continued with one wheel off track for about a half-mile. Passenger Jevon Parrish of Hartford said “there was a crash and a boom and then the train shook.” Parrish said he felt the train rocking as if it might roll over. Some passengers self-evacuated the train. Emergency crews from Berlin and surrounding towns helped the remaining passengers evacuate and then tended to the injured for 35 minutes before battling the fire, officials said. Because of the rural terrain and the distance from main roads, all-terrain vehicles were used to carry equipment and people to and from the wreckage. The tree-trimming crew works for Trees Inc. of Houston, Texas, a subcontractor for Northeast Utilities. “The driver of the truck — the other individuals, the workers of the truck fled prior to the train —he was still trying to move that truck off of the tracks when the accident happened,” Berlin Fire
Chief James Simon said. Prior to the crash, the tree-trimming crew was trying to turn around, but it got stuck because a privately owned metal gate along the tracks was locked, Gov. Dannel Malloy said during a press conference Monday afternoon. The gate is mainly to prevent public access to Silver Lake. The train hit the wood chipper and dragged it, flipping the truck it was hooked to. Friction from the wood chipper’s wheels is believed to have caused the fire, Malloy said. The engineer on the train anticipated the crash and ordered the passengers into the second car. He used the emergency brake and quickly began getting people off the train, Malloy said. Amtrak and police will be investigating why the truck was on the tracks and determine the train’s speed at the time of the crash. Rail service from New Haven to Springfield was suspended for several hours and ticket holders were placed on buses Monday. Amtrak restored rail service by about 4:15 p.m. Monday.

Luke Longcroft of Brighton, England was traveling on business when Amtrak train 490 from New Haven to Springfield hit a wood chipper on a trailer flipping the bucket truck it was attached to. “We heard a huge bang and a massive jolt,” Longcroft told reporters Monday morning. “There was lots of debris at the window. You could smell the burning and the carriages started to fill up with smoke a little bit. People were calm and people just filed off and got off the train.” Longcroft and other passengers who boarded school buses provided by New Britain Transportation arrived at the Hawthorne Inn on the Berlin Turnpike after the 9:20 a.m. crash to connect with family and friends and board a motor coach to Springfield. There were 45 people on the train, Amtrak officials reported. Five people, including the driver of the tree-trimming truck that flipped over, were taken to local hospitals, two on backboards. Their conditions were unknown Monday afternoon, but local fire and police officials said they were conscious.

A possible attempt at burglary was foiled June 16 when, police say, the suspect did not get any farther than over the fence. The break-in at Public Storage on 120 Berlin Turnpike resulted in “no evidence of units being penetrated at this time,” according to Deputy Chief John Klett of the Berlin Police Department. According to police, there was no evidence of forced entry at the gate, but the suspect, or suspects, may have gained entry by climbing the fence, Klett said. Doors
to approximately 30 units inside the facility showed evidence of attempted entry, police say. At least one garage door was knocked off of its track, according to Klett. “It may have been criminal mischief,” Klett said. There is currently no suspect, and no fingerprints have been found, police said. Klett said police theorize that the perpetrator may have attempted to break into the units by ramming them with a shoulder. A representative from Public Storage declined to comment, as this is an ongoing police investigation.

Sportsplex to host open house June 29 Berlin resident John DeMorais is the owner of the new central Connecticut sportsplex, which will be housing three sports-related businesses, including the USA Wildcats. The USA Wildcats is a cheerleading, tumbling, and gymnastics cheerleading program boasting a staff with more than 75 years of cheering and tumbling experience. The other two businesses will include a speed school fea-
turing indoor turf for athletic training. The name of the speed school has not yet been announced, but will be recognized as one of the top speed schools in the area, said DeMorais, a Berlin native. DeMorais said he is very excited for the businesses to come to the area. The idea came to him, he said, after his daughter began a competitive cheering program in Hamden, a long drive, he said. The sportsplex is an industrial renewal project located at 1 Hartford Square in New

Children received balloon animals at the library June 21.
The June 21 summer reading kick-off event at the Berlin-Peck Memorial Library was a huge success, according to Head of Children’s and Teen’s services Jennifer Needham. “We couldn’t have asked for a better day weather-wise,” Needham said. Turnout for the event was excellent, she said. The event featured ice pops, a Mad Scientist booth, face-painting, balloon animals, and Spin-art. “This is only the beginning,” said Children’s Librarian Emily Gontarz. Many more events will be held throughout the summer, and there is plenty of information as well as a calendar on the Berlin-Peck Memorial library website, Gontarz said. – Charles Kreutzkamp

Graduates day some of you have been dreading … you may feel a mix of emotions,” said Senior Class President Jenna DelVecchio. DelVecchio said that grads should be thankful for the teachers, family, parents, peers, and coaches who were there for them throughout their schooling. “I hope that you will be able to find your own definition of success,” DelVecchio said.

consider is the calculations – the numbers, salary offered, and quantitative considerations. For example, Grieco said, the quality of a college career is not measured by GPA alone, and neither is lifetime happiness measured by net worth. Salutatorian Matthew Heimlich said that “being successful is not as hard as you may think,” and pointed out that “what you define as success is up to you.” Heimlich said that although he plans to become a chemical engineer, to someone else success may be owning their own business or becoming a writer. Heimlich advised the class of 2014 to set goals for themselves that are within reach, and to persevere through trial and error. “Success is also having family, friends, and a life worth living,” Heimlich said, adding that as Winston Churchill said, success consists of going from failure to failure without the loss of enthusiasm. BHS Principal Francis Kennedy said that he started with BHS at the start of the sophomore year of the class of 2014. He praised the seniors’ hard work with a curriculum that was more challenging and required more credits than the classes of previous years, and said the seniors should be proud to be the first class to complete a capstone project. “We need to prepare you

Berlin native goes from victim to survivor By Charles Kreutzkamp The Berlin Citizen
Trauma can be shattering, but those who survive and put themselves back together may come through stronger. For Berlin-native “Sarah,” a domestic violence survivor, recovering has led to a life dedicated to helping others who were in her position. According to Sarah, when she first went to the Prudence Crandall Center in New Britain, a nonprofit organization dedicated to ending domestic violence through advocacy and direct care to survivors or those currently in abusive relationships, it was for help. Now, she returns as a volunteer to counsel others. “I think Sarah is a wonderful example of what it means to move from victim to survivor and to move a step further to thriving,” said Barbara Damon, executive director at the center. “She has turned her life around … and is helping others” Sarah said it is important for victims of domestic violence to know that there is hope, and that it is possible for their lives to get better. Sarah runs a support group – the very same support group she used to attend – which is attended by “those who are still in their situation, those who have left, and those who have been court-mandated to

attend.” “Victims of domestic violence don’t always make sense to themselves,” she said. Abusers can weaken a victim’s support system and make them feel unable to escape – or they may feel like they, themselves, are the problem and deserve the treatment they receive, she explained. “Logically, what is happening to you is terrible,” Sarah said, but victims find themselves unable to see their situations for what they are. In her counseling work, she often asks domestic violence victims to imagine a stranger is treating them the way their partner is treating them, or to imagine their sister or daughter was being treated in the way they are being treated. “They’ve been trained over time to believe they are worthless and deserve to be treated like that … People who haven’t experienced this kind of thing really find it hard to [understand] why they don’t just leave,” Sarah said. There are a lot of misconceptions about domestic violence, such as that victims are always financially dependent on perpetrators, Sarah said. Some abusers are even financially dependent on victims. Although her work focuses on female survivors, Sarah said that men can be victims of partner violence as well. “We’ve got to be mindful of that, and they do need help just like anyone else. It’s not a gender thing, the issue is power and control.” “We don’t tell people what to do and we don’t make de-
cisions for them. We’re just there to support and educate,” Sarah said. Many people may not have access to family or friends any more, and they need people in their lives that “understand and don’t judge.” Friends and family can also call Prudence Crandall’s hotline for advice on approaching situations their loved ones are facing. “Safety is of the utmost importance,” Sarah said. “Confrontations can sometimes be unsafe. Timing is the key. You can’t approach a woman in front of her abuser… it is dangerous and ineffective.” Warning signs of domestic violence include unexplained injuries, absences from work or school, fear of conflict, low self esteem, becoming more shy or paranoid, and isolation from friends and family. For more warning signs, visit aardvarc.org. Lack of control over finances may also be a warning sign, Sarah said, or wearing plain and baggier clothing, if the abuser is jealous and views their partner as property. For those who wish to help, Prudence Crandall accepts donations of gently used clothes, shoes, and furniture. “Victims leave their homes with only the clothes on their back, so are in need of pretty much everything,” Sarah said. If you need to talk to someone about a situation you or someone you know is experiencing, call the toll free Prudence Crandall hotline at (860) 225-6357, or toll free in Connecticut at (888) 774-2900.

Opinion Letter to the Editor
Clean it up To the editor: Why doesn’t the town of Berlin have a law that enforces on blight? There are so many very sad properties which are beyond repair, and the town does nothing. You just take a trip around town on the turnpike, Farmington
Avenue, or many other roads and you see them with nothing done to correct them. Why is the town wasting money on some things and not collecting on others they can make money on, or at least make the town more inviting? Jay Ritter Berlin

attended a hurricane emergency drill in Milford. He stopped in Berlin to get an update on the crash and survey the damage. He said Amtrak officials informed him there was no damage to the track. “This is a tough day for Amtrak,” Malloy said, referring to a Boston-area train crash that killed three people shortly after midnight Sunday. Berlin Police Chief Paul Fitzgerald said the train travels at a high rate of speed in the area because it’s a very rural. “You want to know what the truck looks like?” Chief Simon said. “It looks like it was hit by a train going 70 miles per hour.” Trees Inc. representatives could not be reached for comment. The company is already under investigation by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration after
a worker died when struck by a tree limb in Meriden two weeks ago. The Norton Lane rail crossing has no Amtrak-owned public gate crossing, Fitzgerald said, and there is only one house nearby. Amtrak confirmed the locked gate was on private property and subject to different requirements than Amtrak owned gates.The last time there was a train crash in the area was 1980, police and fire officials said. Berlin Town Manager Denise McNair said state and federal plans to increase commuter rail service from New Haven to Springfield include securing the Norton Lane crossing possibly by acquiring private land. Chief Simon said first responders were relieved the injuries were relatively minor and there was no loss of life. “I’ve been to two train wrecks with bad outcomes,” Simon said. “It wasn’t as bad as we initially thought.”

Sports Parafati takes over boys soccer program By Nate Brown
The Berlin Citizen
While most of Connecticut will watch with bated breath during the upcoming Group G Germany-United States World Cup match, Berlin residents can rest easy knowing that some of their soccer worries have subsided. Longtime assistant Salvatore Parafati was recently named the new Redcoats boys soccer head coach. Parafati is familiar with Berlin’s system, having served as the Redcoats’ assistant for 14 years under former coach Dave Francalangia. Parafati also spent his high school pitch days as a member of the Redcoats team himself. “I’ve always wanted to stay with Berlin. I bought a home in town and I’m raising my family here, and this is the only place I want to be,” said
the
New
Parafati. “So it’s an honor to be able to take over as head coach and stay here.” Parafati, who was informed of his new position a few weeks ago, has plenty of ideas on which way to steer the Redcoat soccer program that is now his. Not one to mess with success, Parafati will look to continue training the boys team in a similar manner as they did under Francalangia. The training regime has worked in recent years, as the Redcoats have reached the CIAC semifinals once, the quarterfinals three times, and won a conference division title in the last four seasons. Yet Parafati will look to add his own spin to the team in the hopes of bringing home the school’s first ever state soccer title. “Without getting into it too much, I would say trying new
of formerly Morande Acura
time last year. So I’m looking to build upon their experience at the varsity level. They know what it takes to win, they know what it takes to perform within the CCC South conference. “Another thing I’ll say is that we’re not the only team to lose seniors, and that’s the beauty of high school soccer, it’s very cyclical. So along with our team, there’s other teams in our conference that have also lost players and that will need to kind of fill that gap, if you will. And I think we’ll do a good job of filling those gaps, those necessary gaps there.” Berlin could have an easier time than most filling roster holes. Aside from its returning talent, the team could be aided by the incoming freshmen class, most of whom were members of last year’s undefeated McGee Middle
formations based on our clientele,” said Parafati. “I have great access being an NSCAA (National Soccer Coaches Association of America) member. I have access to their website. There are so many fresh and new drills out there, whether it be targeted for offense or defense. Kind of integrating that into practices will keep that fresh feeling going.” One task that may loom large in Parafati’s first season will be replacing 14 members of last year’s team that were lost to graduation. The new coach, however, isn’t worried about what lies ahead. “Well, it’s always an arduous task to replace such a large group of seniors. But the senior group that will be coming in is very experienced,” said Parafati. “They have a lot of varsity experience with getting playing
School team. The Redcoats will begin their season Sept. 9, when they will travel to Conard to take on the Chieftains.

Although the calendar reads June, there was an autumn feel in the air Friday night at Sage Park, as the large hometown crowd got a good first look at the 2014 Redcoats football team in Berlin High’s 11th annual Red-White game. T h e h o t ly c o n te s te d matchup, which pitted Redcoats vs. Redcoats, saw the White team come out on top 20-14 in overtime. “Although it’s early, and there is still a lot of work to be done, the boys looked great,” said coach John Capodice. “This is a great group of guys who are committed to success, both jayvee and varsity.” With the return of multiple varsity players from last year’s squad, and the addition of imported talent from the jayvee team, there are a number of both old and new weapons that the Redcoats will be able to utilize this season. “We’ve got a large core group of guys coming back from last season who are solid

Sports Kensington golfer headed to Fordham Press Release
John Stepensky, a resident of Kensington, recently announced his intentions to play golf at Fordham University in the fall. Stepensky, a senior at Kingswood Oxford in West Hartford, was one of seven KO athletes to declare his desire to play at the collegiate level last month in a ceremony at the school. Only Stepensky and one other athlete will play at the Division I level next year. The Kensington resident helped the Wyverns of KO throughout his senior campaign, shooting a 77 in the season final KO Invitational Tournament.
Stepensky’s strong play helped the Wyverns walk away victorious in the tourney, which was played at Oak Ridge in Feeding Hills, MA on May 21. Stepensky will join a Rams team that struggled to make much noise in the Atlantic-10 this year, as Fordham finished ninth in the conference’s golf championships just a few weeks ago. The team made more progress in the classroom this spring than on the links, as the Rams were recognized for scoring a perfect 1000 on the latest NCAA’s Academic Progress Rate (APR), which were released on May 14.
