Police station hearing re-rescheduled By Charles Kreutzkamp The Berlin Citizen
A referendum on the new police station may be back on the ballot this November after the events of a special meeting called July 29. The previous decision about when to hold the public hearing for the new police station was reversed at a special meeting of the Town Council July 29 when the council Democrats rescinded the motion passed by the three council Republicans at the previous meeting, when the Republicans held the majority due to the absence of two council members. The preliminary cost for the new police station, which will replace the current 40-year-old facility, is $21 million. Police Chief Paul Fitzgerald said at the previous meeting, July 15, that the police station is not meeting the department’s needs, lacking adequate facilities for interviewing victims of crimes, space for evidence to be properly stored and archived, a usable shooting range, and other depart-
ment needs. The public hearing will now be held Aug. 12 rather than in September, which will allow a referendum on Election Day this year if a citizen gathers enough signatures to call for a referendum. The council expects a referendum to occur, as Republican Town Committee Chair Anne Reilly spoke in favor of holding a referendum during Audience of Citizens at the last meeting. Councilor David Evans inquired about the motion to rescind the Republican’s decision on when to hold the hearing. Town Attorney Robert Weber explained that a special meeting can be called by the mayor or deputy mayor with 24 hours notice. “It was done properly, is the short answer,” Weber said. Mayor Rachel Rochette said she had “thought long and hard” about whether holding the hearing in September was “the right thing to do for the town.” Rochette said she concluded that it is in the best interSee Hearing / Page 7

Inner city youth see their first stars By Charles Kreutzkamp The Berlin Citizen
Families across the state are taking in children from the inner city for a couple of weeks to communities including Middlefield, Berlin, and Newtown as part of the Fresh Air Fund, a non-profit dedicated to bringing New York City kids from low-income families who have never experienced life outside the inner city free summer experiences with carefully vetted host families. The organiza-
tion also runs summer camps. This is the first year in the program for Tancy Gemza of Danbury. She said she’s excited to meet 5-year-old Suenaya and 11-year-old Thaily, who will be spending the next two weeks at her home. Gemza said she plans to take to the kids blueberry-picking at Lyman Orchards in Middlefield – something the youngsters have never experienced. Gemza said she knows one of the kids likes to bake, and hopes to make her grandmother’s blueberry tea-

Her daughter, an only child, relishes the chance to have a sister for two weeks, Carroll-Fischer said. Once the relationship is established, families can keep in touch with the children they host throughout the year, even inviting them to visit See Program / Page 8

the U.S. Census American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates. Collins, a Kensington native, said she “wasn’t at all surprised to see the community score so well, and I’m so glad to see this great news shared with Berlin residents.” These rankings are good news for communities who scored highly, Collins said, however, “NerdWallet ultimately encourages readers to view this study as a data-driven resource, designed to help the average consumer make a better informed decision about home-buying, which is one of the biggest financial commitments most people will ever make.” To read the study in full, v i s i t h t t p : / /w w w. n e rd wallet.com/blog/cities/ best-cities-homeownership-connecticut/. reporter@theberlincitizen.com (203) 317-2448 @Berlin_Citizen

Kensington recently ranked number four out of 60 towns chosen to be analyzed as the “best places to live for home ownership in Connecticut” by an independent financial analysis group, NerdWallet. NerdWallet was founded in 2009 when CEO Tim Chen was looking for a new credit card and had difficulty finding helpful information online. In response, the consumer advocacy group, which has been featured by the New York Times and Forbes, was formed. The organization’s stated mission is to be a “nerdy friend” for consumers to help them do things like pick credit cards, invest, and pay for college. The goal is accomplished by providing the consumer with statistic-based advice on purchases. Communities with popula-
tions of more than 5,000 were selected for the study, which examined homeownership rates, costs, median monthly income, median home value, and the costs of homeownership as a percentage of income. From these criteria, each town was assigned a score. The top four were Glastonbury Center, Southwood Acres, Terryville, and Kensington. At the bottom were New Haven, Groton, Hartford, and Greenwich. Two-thirds of the scores came from ownership rates and population growth. Communities with lower home values and lower home costs as a percentage of income were given higher scores to represent affordability. Sara Collins, a NerdWallet representative, explained that Berlin and East Berlin were not studied because figures for those towns were unavailable. The data comes from

Applications in after-school programming can play an important role in narrowing the achievement gap, according to a statement from CFGNB. The Catalyst Fund has been in existence for 11 years, and is formed of members who contribute $250 and meet three times per year before they decide with a vote on funding a member-chosen issue to benefit the local community. Last year, the g roup awarded $10,000 to the Connecticut Chapter of the National Alliance on Mental Illness. The money was awarded as the one-year-anniversary of the Sandy Hook school shooting approached. In 2012, the group supported House of Heroes, which assists disabled veterans and their spouses, as well as financially stressed military families.

est of the town to hear from as many citizens as possible, and voter turnout is highest during general elections, by a wide margin. Rochette also said that this would spare the town the expense of holding a separate referendum, which she described as “a waste of taxpayer money.” Evans countered that the referendum could be held during the general election next year. The town has scheduled three informational hearings on Aug. 12, Aug. 20, and Sept. 16. More may be scheduled in October, Rochette said. The mayor also said that she suggested the chief of police schedule times for the public to tour the police station so residents understand the need for an upgrade. Deputy Mayor William Rasmussen said that the police submitted a statement of need 20 years ago and that the council has been through a long process of considering if it would be feasible to renovate the current station, followed by selecting a site. The council approved $2 million to remediate the property on Farmington Avenue, which was selected as the best site for the station, and it will increase police response time, Rasmussen said. The size of the staff occupying the police station has drastically increased in the past 20 years. Evans said that the property may have value to be
sold to a developer. Evans said that the original cost of the police station was expected to be $13 million, and that allowing more time for a public hearing in the fall will allow “all of our citizens [to] consider the expenditures that would impact them over the next 20 years.” Rochette said that the original cost was an estimate, and that the new number comes from an actual design that will meet the needs of the police department. “Saying [the new police station] costs too much and we can’t afford it is not a solution, it is rhetoric,” Rasmussen said. Republican council members countered, saying that during the high school renovation process, the council saw various options with associated prices. Rasmussen pointed out that the public building committee and police commission are both formed of citizens volunteering their time to serve the town, and that the design has already passed through both organizations. The rescheduling of the public hearing passed four to three.

Although this is, for many of the kids, the first time they’ve seen the stars in person, according to Marie Athans, they are most excited by seeing wildlife by the road, including raccoons, possums, and deer. The kids also enjoy catching fireflies and visiting farms where they have the opportunity to see livestock in person. According to Dave Athans, one of the most powerful experiences for the youngsters can be touring the local police station. “In New York City, the police have a tough job, and they can be very tough,” Dave Athans explained.

protect and serve the public can be a transformative experience. It’s the first time out of the city for Javen, who is approximately 10-years-old. The biggest difference he’s seen so far between Connecticut and New York City is all the trees. Javen will be staying with the Athans, who are taking in older boys this year – the least sought-after demographic. The most sought after, Marie Athans said, are younger girls. “Hopefully more families will get on board,” Carroll-Fischer said.

It is expensive to live in the city, and ownership of a free-standing home seems amazing to some of the children, who ask whether their host families are rich. “I wish,” Marie Athans quipped.

Simonian, who spoke at the council meeting July 28, the town will be assessing which bridges are in need of maintenance to prioritize the bridges most in need of repair first. Nearby property owners praised the road widening project during an earlier Audience of Citizens. According to Randy Carol, a business owner on the avenue, a wider road will help the large amount of truck traffic navigate safely, as well as hopefully improving snow removal. Simonian said that the road widening is hoped to improve drainage issues on Bruce Avenue. At the July 28 council meeting, councilors David Evans and Charles Paonessa raised concerns about the current state of the road. Evans said that he would not allow his son to drive on that road, due to the ditches on either side. Simonian said that Public Works is aware of the issues and working to resolve them. There are traffic cones on the road “on a temporary basis,” Simonian said, until a resolution to the ditches could
be found. Simonian said that one possible solution was to install guard rails. Paonessa said that he was contacted by concerned property owners and that he feared the town may have a “huge liability,” due to the gasoline tankers that drive down that road. Paonessa also raised concerns about cracked pavement. “I think our taxpayers deserve better than a road that lasts for three days,” Paonessa said. Simonian said that among the issues Public Works would be addressing as the construction on Bruce Avenue continues is one small section of road near a culvert that is showing signs of failure.

Op-Ed There are hidden treasures about town By Charles Kreutzkamp The Berlin Citizen
In the first of this series, reporter Charles Kreutzkamp visits hidden treasures in locations served by Record-Journal weekly newspapers. On Aug. 1, I went on a real-life treasure hunt. Easter egg hunts were far out of season, and my dusty old parchment map with a red “x” on it was in the shop, but thanks
to Geocaching, the global treasure-hunting phenomenon, anyone with a smartphone can go on a treasure hunt, 24/7. Armed with the free Geocaching app and with my Geocaching name, “YFNReporter” – short for, your friendly neighborhood reporter – I set out for Kensington after a quick reread of the rules. One of the most fascinat-
ing discoveries I made in my first attempt is that many caches carry significant meaning for their owners. The Kreutzkamp f irst cache that caught my eye, “Big Guns,” was located somewhere near the American Legion Post 68,
next to Stop & Shop. This cache was placed to commemorate the owner’s first experience with voting, which happened during a budget referendum in 2003. He wrote that he was interviewed by a reporter on that fateful day. The app pinpointed the cache within 30 feet, and I looked high and low for something the size of a film canister or spice jar for more
Letters to the Editor Make your voice heard To the editor: The Town Council is holding a Public Hearing on Tuesday, Aug. 12. We don’t know exactly what time, or where yet, but in a “do-over” at last Tuesday’s special meeting, it was decided to move the hearing up to Aug. 12 on your calendar. I want to encourage all Berlin citizens to come hear the facts about the proposed police station so we can make informed decisions. A project this size should be decided by the people (not by a few politicians). Please attend and voice your opinion so we on the council can represent your
views. We must have input from all of you, beginning on Aug. 12. Please save the date. Charles Paonessa Town Councilman
Attend the hearing
To the editor: Friday, Aug. 1, at 1 p.m. was the deadline to pay your “just a cup of coffee a day” town taxes, a undertaking I’m sure many of you relish. It’s essential to note that not an iota of the approximately 10 years in a row of increased taxes by the liberals in charge will cover a smidgen of the high school reconstruction, or its millions of dollars in cost over-runs, nor the $20 million proposed cost of the new police station.
Initially, I was going to provide a cost break down and analysis of the police station project. I have decided against that. Instead I want to stress how important it is to attend the public hearing on this topic. The newly approved hearing date is Tuesday, Aug. 12 when, unfortunately, many of you will be on vacation. One may believe that Mayor Rochette and cohorts planned it this way.

than 20 minutes. I did find two active wasps’ nests, and after a couple of dive-bomb attempts at my face, I abandoned my search. Every person has a right to a phobia, and mine is flying, stinging insects – so reluctantly I logged a “DNF” (did not find) on the Geocaching website for my first time out. The next cache I sought after, “Thank You Veterans,” was placed within walking distance at Veteran’s Park and was placed to “honor all service members, past, present, and future,” according to the listing. I picked up a few bits of trash. Keenly aware that their hobby involves leaving objects in the woods, Geocachers place a lot of emphasis on picking up litter, with the slogan “cache in, trash out.” This cache eluded me as well, despite a frantic halfhour search, as did “What’s all that buzz about” at Sage Park. “I pitched this to my editor as a series about Geocaches in our towns, not a series about a reporter wandering around unable to find anything,” I kept thinking.

accompanied me for another shot at finding a cache somewhere in Berlin. Thinking we might have a bit more luck looking for a traditional inthe-woods cache, we went looking for “Cross Country at Sage Park.” It all began to seem hopeless as we stomped about in the woods, but once we returned to the path, we finally spotted bits of red showing underneath black electrical tape wrapped around a spice jar. We opened it, and gleaming inside were a few pieces of paper. We logged our visits under our Geocaching names with the date. Filled with the rush of victory, we went back for another crack at the three I couldn’t find the day before. My fiancée had no more luck than I locating those, but we struck gold again down the street at “Does anybody really know what time it is,” a very cleverly hidden cache located at Volunteer Park. The piece of candy inside this cache reminded us
that another part of the treasure hunt is trading items for something of equal or greater value. We removed nothing, but added a Russian ruble to the container, which was disguised with camouflage tape. We finished with another cache at Maple Cemetery. My fiancée, an Indiana native and a lover of history, was awed by the 1800’s-era gravestones. An excellent hint led us to this cache, which contained a small heart-shaped pendant and a folded up playing card. We added a glass bead. I’ll close with three pieces of advice for other first-timers: one, read the rules and etiquette thoroughly. Two: some caches are easier than others, and size is a big factor. A small or medium cache seems an easier first find than an extra small. Hiking trail caches seem easier than urban ones. Three: study a photo of the poison ivy plant before going, just in case. reporter@theberlincitizen.com (203) 317-2448 @Berlin_Citizen

Sports Vazquez shooting to continue career overseas By Matt Zampini
Special to The Citizen
Every young athlete has his or her favorite player growing up: someone they look up to, someone to model their game after. For Alexys Vazquez, Diana Taurasi was that player. When Taurasi led the UConn women’s basketball team over Tennessee to win the 2004 national championship, it made Vazquez emotional. “I actually cried when she won the NCAA title her senior year,” she said. “I really looked up to her and for some reason I never thought I’d see her play again.” Taurasi is one of the best players that UConn has ever seen come through Storrs, but the way she shot the ball

the Fairfield women’s basketball team, noted the uncanny resemblance between the two players’ shooting ability. “Well, the similarity I see is the range,” he said. “A lot of players could shoot that three a step behind the three-point line. And she could shoot it three or four steps behind the three-point line. That made her really exceptional.” Shooting has always been something Vazquez valued. She worked hard – and still does – to make sure her stroke is perfect. “That was my specialty growing up. I loved shooting,” she said. “My dad would come in after every high school practice and work with me just getting shots up.”

Frager knew what he was getting when he recruited Vazquez. He had played baseball together after college with her father. If Vazquez had turned out anything like her old man, Frager knew he’d have a good one. “When you combine her ability to shoot the ball with what I thought was a great work ethic, and coming from a fantastic family, to me it was a no-brainer to recruit her,” Frager said. The decision to attend Fairfield wasn’t easy for Vazquez. After narrowing her list of schools to play Division-I basketball to the University of Hartford, Quinnipiac University, Central Connecticut State University, La Salle University and Fairfield, she ultimately decided to become a Stag. “First of all, the campus is absolutely beautiful,” Vazquez said. “Graduating from Fairfield is a great degree and because of basketball, Fairfield gave me a great chance to get a degree out of college. I also really enjoyed the coaches.” In her freshman year as a Stag, Vazquez made 25 appearances, averaging 8.2 minutes per game. She knocked down her first career 3-pointer in a nationally televised game on ESPNU at Loyola. Her first career triple made on the national stage was just a precursor for the records Vazquez would establish during her college career. “You never know how someone is going to adapt from high school to college,” Frager said. “She actually was playing behind some pretty talented upperclassmen. It was more that than really anything to do with Lex. She showed really good promise and I knew that going into sophomore year she was going to play an important part in our program.” As Frager thought, sophomore season proved to be the first year that Vazquez played a more advanced role on the team, quickly showing oppo-
nents that she was a force to be reckoned with. Vazquez started 28 of 32 games that season, averaging 29.4 minutes per game en route to breaking the school’s single season record for three-point field goal percentage (.427). Having a player like Vazquez, with such an exceptional shooting ability, is gold for coaches. A player that can stretch the floor and create space for post players down low is invaluable, and makes it that much tougher for the defense. “It’s a great weapon to have as a coach at your disposal,” Frager said. “She has the ability to stretch the floor. She’s also willing to take a big shot in an important part of the game, and not all kids are like that.” Her junior and senior year, Vazquez established herself as one of the best shooters in the country. She finished 23rd in the nation in three-point percentage her junior year (.392) and 31st her senior season (.402). Also in her senior season, she finished 25th in the nation in three-point field goals made per game (2.85). Frager said Vazquez and former UConn guard Maria Conlon were the two best three-point shooters he has ever coached. Conlon played at UConn with Taurasi during the Huskies’ stretch of three consecutive national championships. Her career now complete, Vazquez will go down as one of the best shooters that Fairfield has ever seen; the records say it all. She is Fairfield’s single season record holder for three-pointers made (94), first all-time in career three-point percentage (.402), second in three-pointers per game (1.9) and second in threes made (237). “It’s a great accomplishment for me,” Vazquez said of her accomplishments. “Growing up, my dad made sure my brother and I were humble through our careers.

Last May, Chris Chorzepa didn’t know if he’d ever wrestle again. The former Newington High School wrestling star had just gone through his second surgery to repair damage in his left knee and doctors told him to consider not wrestling again. “It was definitely hard,” said Chorzepa, who’s family moved to Berlin following his graduation from high school. “Right when I heard the news, I just wanted to go through the physical therapy and get back on the mat as soon as possible.” It wasn’t the first time that he has gone through surgery, however. Growing up, Chorzepa had two surgeries done to repair damage to his ears, which caused his balance to be thrown off. Even though he has had numerous surgeries, his neversay-die attitude is something that he has always carried with him and is what he thrives on and uses as motivation. He was not going to let any injury of any magnitude keep him off the mat. As he was sitting in class in fourth grade, just 9 years of age, Chorzepa received a flyer that sparked his interest, it read ‘Newington Blackhawks Youth Wrestling Club.’ He had tried his luck at soccer and football, but those weren’t for him. He took the flyer he received in class that day and decided to give wrestling a shot, even though he didn’t know much about the sport. “I didn’t know what wrestling was, I was just a typical hyperactive 9-year-old boy that just wanted to go out there and wrestle around,” he said. “I wasn’t the most athletic kid growing up and I liked that wrestling was an individual sport.” Chorzepa wrestled for the Blackhawks up until high school and because of the help of that program, his

Erectile Dysfunction BY TOM SCHILLER Men’s Health
HARTFORD • A new medical clinic staffed by local physicians has opened in Hartford recently specializing in only one unique, niche area–men’s sexual performance. The Yale Clinic has an amazing offer - first 37 callers receive a free in-office medication dose. Erectile dysfunction and premature ejaculation have long been a problem for millions of men in spite of the popularity of Viagra, Levitra and Cialis. Many men either are not helped by these medications or cannot take them due to medical conditions and adverse side effects. According to The Yale Clinic of Connecticut’s Medical Director, Dr. M. Sheldon Polsky, Board Certified Urologist and author of ‘Seven Secrets Doctors and Drug Companies Won’t Tell You About Erectile Dysfunction,’ “Our doctors offer a proven treatment with over two hundred doses of custom blended prescription medication that can help virtually all men regardless of their age or medical history, including men as young as twenty-one to well into their nineties, with diabetes, heart conditions,
prostate cancer, and high blood pressure. All drugs are FDA approved, no surgery is involved and patients will see a licensed Connecticut Physician” Referred to as “the gold standard,” by the International Journal of Impotence Research, “Our treatment allows our local doctors to adjust the dosage for a man’s performance to 45-minutes, an hour, even 90-minutes,” according to Dr. Polsky, “and patients see immediate results in the office. We offer a simple guarantee: “If you don’t respond to our medication on the first visit there’s no charge.” With that guarantee, local patients have nothing to lose. The Yale Clinic books appointments far in advance but occasionally can accommodate someone quickly. Yale assures patients of utmost privacy and professionalism and has private waiting rooms and an all-male staff. Further information is available by calling (203) 290-2155.
