Hawthorne gets modern Italian makeover By Ashley Kus The Berlin Citizen
Banquets will once again be held on the Berlin Turnpike, at Casa Mia at The Hawthorne, formerly The Hawthorne Inn. Within the next couple months the new banquet halls, restaurant and lounge will open, under new ownership. Come December, Rocky Hill resident Tony Guglieli will open the doors for up-

town have already expressed their admiration of the new path. “So many people have come to walk it already and say how nice it looks,” Galgano said. See Walkway / Page A7

“I want to bring back the old glory of the inn,” Casa Mia at The Hawthorne owner Tony Guglieli said.
At McGee Middle School, there’s a unique approach to physical education. In fact, the school’s wellness program is the only one in the state at a middle school. Tuesday, Oct. 27, a class of McGee sixth grade students climbed on elliptical machines, threw their fists into punching bags, and got active as their heart rates were recorded. The class, held once every six days in the cycle, offers a chance to work out in a cardio environment; the upstairs fitness center resembling a commercial gym with a variety of machines, weights, and equipment to accommodate students’ individual preferences.

ST. GABRIEL’S EPISCOPAL CHURCH President Harry Truman — who, legend has it, stopped in to use the restroom while on a visit to stump for the Democratic ticket in 1952 — and Janet Leigh, who stopped in during her stay in Meriden as part of the Janet Leigh Film Festival in 2002. L e i g h , b o r n Je a n e tte Helen Morrison, is a Golden Globe-winning actress best known for her role in the American horror film “Psycho.” Numerous other politicians have also passed through the Crown Street office in the past century as well. Former U.S. Sen. Francis T. Maloney, after whom the east side high school is named, worked as a reporter in the building from 1914 to 1921, except for the year between 1917-18, when he served in the U.S. Navy. The building holds many personal memories for current and former employees. “Five generations of my family have spanned the full 110 years,” White said. “I have
personally worked in the building since 1979. My first memory was accompanying my father in early 1950s on Sunday mornings to light the lead pots.” Until roughly the 1960s and ’70s, linotype machines were the industry standard for printing newspapers. The type set machines used gasfired pots to keep the lead and tin type metal liquefied just prior to being cast. T h e n e w s p a p e r wa s printed on premises at 11 Crown St. until February 2009, though the technology to do so evolved from the linotype machine. In 2009, the aging press was in need of a costly replacement, and the ailing economy prompted the decision to outsource printing to the Springfield Republican campus in Springfield, Mass. The R-J, as many know it now, began as The Weekly Visitor in 1867. The weekly newspaper expanded into a See Record-Journal / Page A4

MERIDEN — The Record-Journal newspaper, in all its various iterations, hasn’t moved from its Crown Street home in 110 years. That changed recently, but its history won’t. “ T h e Re c o rd - Jo u r n a l has been published from 11 Crown St. for 110 years, since 1905,” R-J Publisher Eliot C. White said, though the paper, in some form, has been in existence for 148 years. “It was located in the same general neighborhood for the previous 38 years,” as well, he added. In those 110 years, the newspaper building was host to visits from dignitaries like

ple, including managers, bartenders, waiters and a lounge promoter. “We are going to create jobs,” he said. As for the new restaurant, Guglieli is looking forward to tapping into his Italian roots to influence the traditional steakhouse food. Prime rib, seafood, and steak will be just a few of the main dishes included on the menu along with the “surf n’ turf ”, the Hawthorne was known for. “I’m giving it a modern flair,” Guglieli said.

coming Christmas parties and holiday gatherings. The Hawthorne has remained empty since it closed back in the summer of 2014. The stone building was used as an inn and then a restaurant dating back as far as the 1930s. Now, Guglieli wants to bring an Italian flair to the place. He said the grand opening will be in January. “I want to bring back the old glory of the inn,” said Guglieli. The Italian-born owner is not new to the business. He has spent nearly 40 years working in the restaurant world and currently owns the Casa Mia banquet restaurants in Rocky Hill and East Hartford. Guglieli is confident his expansive experience will translate to big things for the Hawthorne. “I already have a following with my clientele,” he said. Just three days after the “coming soon” sign went up in front of the historic property, Guglieli said people been inquiring about plans. The website and the social media platforms for the Casa Mia at The Hawthorne are still in development, but Guglieli predicts a big presence. “I’ve always had an interest in this area and this building,” he said. He says he remembers the Hawthorne back when it was a town staple and hosted numerous parties and gatherings. He’s focused on livening up the iconic Berlin Turkpike location, while keeping its charm. “Everyone has been excited about it,” he said. While Guglieli’s vision is still coming together, much
of the space is already set up. Walking through the glass double-doors decorated with cursive “H”s, is a welcome desk with a matching cursive “H” above it. To the right is the lounge lined with booths and a full-service bar. Lights dot the ceiling illuminating the space that Guglieli said will be used for singing acts, comedy shows, and big-bands four days a week. To the left of the entrance is the restaurant’s dining room filled with plenty of seating, tables, and corner booths. A fireplace sits in the middle with a mosaic stone pattern above the mantle. Around the corner is the biggest banquet hall, which Guglieli said will be named “Tivoli.” The room will hold up to 320 people with a bar, buffet tables, and plenty of room to dance. Nearby is a second, similar, banquet room with seating for 80. The third banquet room is upstairs with seating for 100. A conference room is down the hall for meetings of 25 to 30 people. “I’m a chef, so I like the dining room and lounge the best here,” Guglieli said. While he has big responsibilities as sole owner, Guglieli also is looking for more shoes to fill. He will be posting job opportunities in order to hire at least 50 more peo-

daily print newspaper on Jan. 1, 1868, and three months later, evolved into the Meriden Daily Republican. Soon an evening paper was produced to compete with the Republican — that paper was the Meriden Daily Journal, which first ran in April 1886. It was later known (and perhaps better known now) as simply the Meriden Journal. In 1887, The Republican Publishing Co. was incorporated, and five years later, in 1892, the Morning Record was launched as another daily paper.

nesses still operating in Meriden that are older than the Record-Journal and its ancestor papers. According to information gathered by Jerry Maust, reference librarian at the Meriden Public Library, they include the Miller Co., established in 1846; The Russell Hall Co., established in 1854; and Lyon and Billard Lumber Co., established in 1847. According to Maust’s information, the Horton Printing Co. also rivals the R-J’s tenure in the city; it was established the same year as The Weekly Visitor. Only 13 other companies have been in the city for more than 100 years, according to Maust’s information.
At that point, the Meriden Daily Republican became a weekly newspaper, and eventually ceased publication altogether. Between 1903 and 1925, the Morning Record changed names twice, ultimately settling on the Meriden Record in January 1925. In 1949, the Meriden Record Co. — formerly the Republican Publishing Co. — purchased the Meriden Journal, though it wasn’t until 1977 when the two papers merged, becoming the Morning Record and Journal. Three years later, the paper changed its name to the now familiar Record-Journal. There’s only a few busi-

tion in 1984 was considered risky given the economic climate at the time. It paid off though. “Starting the Sunday edition...was a major growth project that helped secure our future for the next 30 years,” White said. Among the Record-Journal’s publications are The Citizen weekly newspapers. The City of Meriden purchased the R-J building in 2014, adding it to a list of six total downtown properties the city expects to turn over to developers for a mix of housing and retail buildings. A lease agreement with the city enabled the publishing company to occupy the space until this December, though the business open in its new location at 500 S. Broad St. on Oct. 12. “The move... will mark the end of an era,” White said. “We will now begin a new chapter of our business with 90 employees in a new modern workplace... and 40 employees at our sister company (The Westerly Sun) in Westerly, R.I.” White said the company’s mission will continue to focus on “providing local news and advertising solutions to our local communities, including exciting new products” such as a new advertising platform, White said. “Our business has evolved,” he said, “but the mission continues.”

In the 148 years since its inception, the Record-Journal newspapers haven’t missed a publication. To date, that’s nearly 43,000 straight issues. “We never missed a publication despite major obstacles, including power outages in the 1980s, when we lost power for 24 straight hours,” White said. The outage forced newspaper crews to print in Waterbury and work from Middletown. Extreme weather was also no match for the tenacity to print a daily newspaper. “We survived over 3 feet of water during the flood in 1992. My parents skied to work during the blizzard of 1978,” White recalled. Throughout the years, the building changed its look. In the early years, nearly fulllength windows studded the sides of the building, then mosaic murals replaced many of them. “We had five building expansions since 1955 with major investments in downtown Meriden,” White said. A new press in 1979 and mail room expansions in 1988 “totaled investments of $10 million,” he said. During this time, a Sunday edition of the newspaper was launched as well. Though it’s generally considered the staple edition of daily print newspapers, publishing the Record-Journal Sunday edi-

McGee P.E. teacher Linda Germain said the 50 minutes spent upstairs is more individual, while the class downstairs in the gym is more team oriented with games like basketball. “My focus is that they work on all their fitness levels,” she said. “Fitness is a lifetime activity.” The program has gotten buzz lately as McGee teachers have showcased the concept at conferences, and even to college students. Plona said Central Connecticut State University students recently observed one of the classes. McGee P.E. teacher Mike Eagle believes the class helps solve a problem that many schools face. “It’s always a challenge getting kids more active,” he said. “We’re seeing kids more involved in activity here,” McGee P.E. teacher Jan Zagorski said.

All four P.E. teachers have seen a positive response in the program from both competitive and not-so-competitive students, as the classes reach out to everyone. “They are starting to understand that fitness benefits them through life,” Eagle said. Principal Salvatore Urso said he’s proud that McGee offers an effective instructional model. “I don’t think anyone can argue with personalized fitness,” the principal said. When The Citizen stopped by the wellness class last week, the students, all sporting neon green gym shirts, were on their second day of exercising with the monitors since their previous five classes of course work where they learned safety rules. Now they work out while listening to top radio hits in the fitness center, until they, once again, return to their classrooms for the day.

the students’ exercise in class through an app at his desk. As the youngsters work out, their heart rate is monitored through Polar fit bands they put on while changing into their gym clothes. The bands have a sensor that tracks their hearts as they are moving. Students use their bands throughout their three years at McGee. “It gives them a better sense of how to exercise,” Plona said. A screen at the front of the fitness room displays a grid with different colors and the students’ names. All the colors relate to how well they are doing in terms of their individual heart rates. Plona explains that gray and blue mean the heart rate is too low, while green, brown, and red boxes mean the heart rate is good. He says the students are graded on getting their heart rates “in the zone” for 30 minutes during class. “I like the elliptical,” sixth grader Kyle Hyde said. As a baseball and basketball player, Hyde said the heart rate monitors in class have helped him get faster on the field and on the court. He boasts that he’s part of the “40 minute club,” which means he has kept his heart rate in the zone for 40 minutes during class. “We get to do whatever we want and still work out,” sixth grade classmate Clare McGeever said of the wellness class, which started a year and half ago and has

Walkway From Page A1
The path consists of fiberglass embedded signs that lead to the memorial. The 13 signs give brief facts and a variety of pictures of the wars. Galgano says there is space for future wars to be added in later, though he hopes the space won’t have to be used. The project has been in the works for a year and half and will be completed with a bridge and the full walkway by December. “Teachers are saying that it will be a great class trip for their students,” Galgano said. The war history depicted on the signs will give students a brief explanation that they will understand and want to read, he added. The latest war, the Iraq War, has a sign with pictures provided by First Sergeant Ben Grainger when he served there. Grainger will
be a guest speaker at the Veterans Day ceremony. Berlin High School will take part in the ceremony with members of the Brass Quintet, directed by Jeff Sirois, playing Taps and a patriotic melody. The BHS Madrigals, directed by Kathryn Scherer, will sing the National Anthem and America the Beautiful. The Color Guard, comprised of members of Veterans of Foreign Wars, Post 10732 and members of the American Legion Post 68, will also be in attendance. “I’m looking forward to it because it’s a nice tribute to the veterans,” said Galgano. The rain date for the ceremony will be the same day at 11 a.m at the Berlin Veterans’ of Foreign Wars Post 10732, on Massirio Drive.

Obituaries David Alfred Piskorski BERLIN — David Alfred Piskorski, born Sept. 4, 1941, passed away on Saturday, Oct. 24, 2015 at the Hospital of Central Connecticut, New Britain. He was the beloved husband of Mary Elizabeth “Betsy” (Amenta) Piskorski. Born in New Britain, he was the son of the late Lucien S. and Genevieve (Kulas) Piskorski. David was a graduate of New Britain High School, class of 1959, graduate of Fairfield University, class of 1963 with a Bachelor of Science in history, and a graduate of Catholic University Law School in 1966. He served in the Marine Corp Reserves from 1966–1972 and he practiced law for 40 years in the New Britain area until his retirement in 2007. During his professional career he was a member of the Plainville Jaycees, the Plainville Board of Appeals, and a member of the New Britain Bar Association, where he served as president. He was also a member of the Hartford County Bar, Connecticut Bar Association, and the Connecticut Trial Lawyers Association. David moved to Berlin in 1973 and he was very active in the community, as he served on the Planning Commission, the Berlin Democratic Town Committee, and was on the Berlin
Board of Directors of the Visiting Nurses Association. He was an avid fisherman, hunter, and gardener, and he was a lifelong fan of the New York Giants and Boston Red Sox. He often took credit for the Red Sox winning the World Series in 2004 by refusing to watch their playoff run because he felt it would be bad karma. His greatest joy in his final years has been attending his grandsons’ sporting events and spending time with his four grandchildren. David will be greatly missed by his family and friends: Son, Michael David Piskorski, daughter-in-law, Tamara, and grandsons, Nolan and Justin, of Berlin; daughter, Jennifer Samaras, son-in-law, Christopher Samaras, and granddaughters, Caroline and Audrey, of Andover Mass.; his sister, Diane Pavelchak and brother-in-law, Michael Pavelchak, of Eastham, Mass.; his sister-in-law, Celeste Finison, and her partner, Joanne Reilly, of Brookline, Mass.; his nieces, nephews, and cousins; and also his close friends, Bill Stanlonis and Dennis and Leona Bartnik. As per his wishes, a private graveside service was held at the Maple Cemetery in Berlin. Erickson-Hansen Funeral Home, New Britain, was in charge of arrangements. Memorial donations can be made in his name to the Ryan T. Lee Memorial Foundation, c/o 103 Peter Parley Row, Berlin, CT 06037.

deer in trouble as they travel about. I know this sounds unbelievable, but a number of years ago, old friend Norm Van Cor and I spent one early morning cruising the back roads on the northwestern stretch of Connecticut that borders New York and spotted 124 deer. Most of them were feeding in fields and under apple trees. Many were right in people’s yards! One day while in New York, I stopped at a local convenience store to get gas and a coffee and the lady inside said to me, “Hi, Mike. Hey, you know, you don’t need to be hunter to kill a deer here in New York. I got one this morning on the way into work with my car. It is going to cost me around $2,400 to get it fixed.” I asked her if this was her first deer collision and her answer really floored me. “Nope. This is the fourth deer I have hit while living in New York and every one of them did some serious damage to my cars even though I was not traveling that fast when I hit them. They seem to come out of nowhere and all four accidents happened either in the early evening or early morning.” This is not to say that deer and vehicles collide only in the fall. These accidents can happen anytime of the year. One year when we had our place in New York, Edna and I were heading home to Connecticut on the Fourth of July weekend and counted 29 dead deer on the highways we traveled (about 240 miles). They were all does and fawns, leaving one to wonder what kind of motor vehicle carnage they caused upon being hit. I receive an outdoor publication
called New York Outdoor News and they had an interesting article in the Oct. 2 publication titled, “Hitting a deer while driving: What are the chances?” The data was projected as a whole for the insurance industry based on State Farm Insurance information. State Farm’s report said the national cost per claim averages $4,130, up six percent from 2014. (Note: They don’t make vehicles like they used to; today front ends are made out of molded plastics.) The odds rating for getting involved with a deer while driving is based more on the number of licensed drivers in a state and not population. For instance, nearly 10 percent of the country’s deer claims occur in Pennsylvania (126,275 collisions), though when taking into account the number of licensed drivers, the state of West Virginia remained at the top of the list with drivers having a 1-in-44 chance of hitting a deer compared to Pennsylvania’s 1 in 70. On a personal note, I know of a man who hit not one, but two deer in Pennsylvania on the same night. Although he did have damage to his vehicle, he was able to drive it after both collisions, neither of which killed the deer. What’s that you said? You want to know the odds of hitting a deer on Connecticut highways? Connecticut is 1 in 293. The other New England states are Maine 1 in 158, New Hampshire 1 in 252, Vermont 1 in 195, Massachusetts 1 in 443 and Rhode Island 1 in 264. Oh, and New York is 1 in 159. When you think about it, the numbers can be deceiving. Take Maine, See Roberts / Page A13

for instance. Over the many years I have traveled to Maine for hunting and fishing, I have only seen two dead deer on the highways. The same for Vermont and New Hampshire. Yet when I was in New York, they were almost an everyday occurrence. According to the State Farm statistics, the top five states where a driver is most likely to have a claim from a collision with a deer, moose or elk are West Virginia (1 in 44), Iowa (1 in 68), Montana (1 in 69), Pennsylvania (1 in 70) and South Dakota (1 in 73). The state with the least deer/vehicle collisions? Hawaii, of course, where the odds are 1 in 8,765. When on the road during this high deer activity time, State Farm advises drivers to use extra caution in areas known for high deer densities. In our area, I would say I-691 and Research Parkway, although they are now just about everywhere. Wear your seat belt at all times and use your high beams at night when there is no incoming traffic. Avoid swerving (especially into an oncoming lane) when you see a deer. Keep an eye out for deer on the side of the road and, if one crosses, expect more to follow. And do not rely on devices such as those deer whistles. Oh, and regarding the cost of a deer/vehicle collision, if you do not have collision insurance you are S.O.O.L. (Surely Out Of Luck).

Having the opportunist to fish for the majestic Atlantic Salmon right here in Connecticut is almost unbelievable in my book. The DEEP’s Inland Fisheries Division has already released 250 Atlantic Salmon into Crystal Lake in Ellington and Mt. Tom in the Morris Litchfield area. They also put 300 salmon into both the Shetucket and Naugatuck rivers recently. The DEEP will continue to stock the salmon until reaching a total of 1,200. Approx-

Scammers prey on most vulnerable Connecticut BBB, AARP and the Department of Consumer Protection warn consumers about mailers that bear the Great Seal of the State of Connecticut, and offer a variety of subsidies for various medical problems. The leaflets are believed to have been sent to hundreds of residents across the state. The document is headed “ C o n n e c t i c u t Re s i d e n t Health and Wellness Benefits Notice,” and requests the recipient to call various telephone numbers “for details and qualification.” The mailer says it offers subsidies for a knee or neck brace, hear-
ing aid, diabetes testing and Medicare benefits GAP Coverage. Anyone who called one of the listed telephone numbers was asked for personal information, including their Medicare or Social Security number and contact details for their physician. “Although the telephone numbers have been taken out of circulation, this scam serves as a reminder to consumers to be wary of any unsolicited document that requires giving out personal information over the telephone, at your front door or by email or text,” warns Department of Consumer Protection Com-

Perales finished 12th overall with a time of 17:26 while Fanelli clocked in at 17:39, good enough for 17th. Connor Ladd rounded out the Redcoats’ top three, finishing 40th overall with a time of 18:30. Alec Berger (43rd overall; 18:36) and Joshua Ladd (56th; 18:54) were Berlin’s other scoring runners. Jake Harris and James Grieco also competed for the Redcoats, finishing with times of 19:27 and 20:04, respectively. Berlin placed just shy of East Lyme (163 team points) and New Fairfield (165) for a top five finish. Guilford (70), E.O. Smith (107) and Joel Barlow (147) took home the podium spots in the class.

win plateau. Berlin bested Plainville and Windsor to finish 8-10 and qualify for the state tournament for the second consecutive year. The team’s week began with a hotly contested matchup with the Blue Devils that took all five sets to decide a victor. After falling behind 1-0, the Redcoats battled back to take a 2-1 set lead. Despite Plainville forcing a fifth and decisive frame, Berlin came out on top, 15-11, to keep its postseason hopes alive. Nina D’Amato and Megan Pskowski had strong matches for Berlin, recording 14 and 13 kills, respectively, while also notching a combined 13 aces. Angie Perrone had an incredible match, recording 25 digs and 18 assists throughout the contest. Her sister, Alex, also fared well, finishing the day with 16 digs and 16 serves received. Berlin finished its regular season schedule with a 3-0 thrashing of Windsor (25-11, 25-11, 25-16) to clinch a spot in the Class M state tournament. Pskowski, again, had a strong game, manufacturing 12 kills and four aces on the day, while Sarah Pskwoski rounded out the box score with six kills, five aces and two blocked shots. Amanda Lee recorded 11 digs and Julia Lagace led the team with 15 assists. The team will find out its first-round matchup for the state tourney no later than Friday, Nov. 6.

a bad job of tackling, which is something we worked on this week (in practice), and I thought it was something we did a much better job of throughout the rest of the game.” While the loss dropped Plainville below .500 for the second time this season, the win for Berlin helped to remove the taste of a bad loss to Avon.

first quarter with a 14-yard run to give the Redcoats an early 7-0 advantage. Plainville struck back later in the frame with a 13-yard score from Jon Lindgren on the quarterback keeper. Berlin blocked Plainville’s extra point attempt to maintain the lead throughout the contest. Despite a low final score, the game proved to be a testament to the strong defensive efforts from each side. Both squads, known throughout the years for their compact option running attacks, implemented different schemes to best maximize their talent. Berlin went with a direct snap scheme, lining up tailbacks such as Pajor, Jack Hamel, Owen Taylor and Garrett Guite. Plainville opted for a spread option attack, often using four or five wide receiver sets and countless jet sweeps and quarterback counters to help maximize the talent of Lindgren, Mikal Salmon and Corey McKisson. While each offense was able to move the ball throughout the middle of the field, both defenses stood tall time and time again. “I thought defensively, everyone did a good job,” FarOrell S XsaidKofNhis S SBlueF Devils.

OFF every patio door1 Don’t take a chance on a vinyl window. Vinyl windows can warp, leak and cause drafts, so trusting a poor-quality vinyl window is a poor choice. Our window’s Fibrex® composite material is twice as strong as vinyl.
There are limited appointments available
PLUS
for one full year1 You’ve got enough on your plate this time of year; we’ve got this. We build, sell, install and warrant all of our windows; that means there’s no middleman to deal with, and as the replacement window division of Andersen, we’re about as trustworthy as you can get.
