EDITORIAL
Letter to the Editor
Saving Berlin’s meeting house “You don’t know what you’ve got ‘till it’s gone.” That may be a cliche, but like all cliches it has all too often proved true. It can also be a wake-up call for those who want to preserve some of our architectural heritage. New York City lost the magnificent old Penn Station to the wrecker’s ball in the 1960s, but then Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis and other prominent New Yorkers organized to save Grand Central Terminal from the same fate. Today, some determined residents of Berlin are working to save one of their historical landmarks, and to adapt it for new uses. Having painfully lost the town’s old railroad depot to fire just last year, they are more determined than ever to save the meeting house on Worthington Ridge, which is two years older than the nation and also served as Town Hall for more than half a century. Their effort is worthy of support. The first church in town was built after the colonial assembly in
Hartford granted permission for the Great Swamp Society to have its own house of worship, saving congregants an eight-mile trek to Farmington every Sunday over dirt roads, in all weathers. In 1774 the congregation divided in two, with new meeting houses being built. The Kensington building is still in use as a church. The Worthington building is “that one icon that really stands out in town,” said David Evans, town councilor and liaison to the group Friends of the Worthington Meeting House. For years, the town has been looking at renovating the building, which once housed the Board of Education but has been virtually unused for decades. In 2004, the town spent more than half a million dollars to stabilize the building. A study now underway (funded by grants, not by the taxpayers) would provide a new home for the Berlin Historical Society, with a community space upstairs. But such plans move slowly; any-
thing that is done will have to involve the Town Council and various town departments, Berlin’s Historic District Commission, the state Historic Preservation Office, probably the town Historical Society and the “Friends” group as well, and will be subject to the provisions of the federal Americans With Disabilities Act. That’s a tall order, but one that’s worth the hard work that’s already been done, as well as that which still needs to be done. This building is not just a key piece of Berlin’s history; it represents our state and national heritage as well.

On Easter morning, the residents of Marjorie Moore Village received a wonderful gift. A mother, father and daughter gave everyone in our 40-unit complex a homemade potholder with a tag that read, “Hope your spring and summer aren’t too hot to handle.” No name or address was on the tag. I happened to see them, and asked the father. He said his daughter wanted to do this. What a kind and generous thought! Paul Dobrowolski Kensington

WOODS ‘N’ WATER
Talking turkey, from woods to freezer to table really have no business being there. And only last year we had a whole flock of turkeys hanging around the Parker Avenue area by the Stop & Shop. They seemingly ignored the traffic on the road and did their “turkey thing”.
By Mike Roberts
For everyone, there is a “first” of some kind in their lives. In happens in competitive sports and it also happens in the great outdoors.
Many times I have heard folks remark, “Turkeys? Why’d they make such a fuss over hunting them? They are everywhere.” When you see these wild turkeys parading the suburbs, who could blame them for thinking that way?
I’ve had many firsts in the outdoors while hunting and fishing, but one of them I never expected to see in my youth was a chance to put a tag on a wild turkey, since they had disappeared from the scene in Connecticut entirely. I took my first Connecticut wild turkey while bow-hunting in Colchester. While there have been many more, this one is the one I remember most.
Wild turkeys walk through a snowy farm yard in Williamstown, Vermont on Feb. 9, 2009. Nearly a half century earlier, the wild birds that have come to symbolize Thanksgiving in the United States, were almost gone from the Vermont countryside. In 2016, they number in the tens of thousands, a success story of wildlife restoration. | File photo, Associated Press
There is not a whole lot of information on wild turkey numbers in the pre-colonial days, but references from the DEEP figure that there was a time that over 24,000 wild turkeys inhabited Connecticut.
wild turkeys were trapped in New York, transported to Connecticut and released by the then-DEP on Canaan Mountain in Canaan, an area that had the proper turkey habitat.
In the early years, turkeys were an edible game bird and this, along with land use that took away much of the wild turkey habitat, resulted in there eventual disappearance from Connecticut lands.
The survival rates were good, and further evaluation revealed that the first flock had successfully reproduced and increased from 22 to 40 birds by the next fall.
This was a time when I was always roaming the ConIt would not be until 1975 necticut countryside and that one of many attempts began to spot turkeys in to restore the wild turkey to the towns of Kent, Sharon, Connecticut showed promise New Milford and a couple when 17 females and 5 male other towns. These turkeys
were the result of a couple of stockings just over the Connecticut/New York line. Hopes began to rise when it looked like the restoration was going to be successful as the population spread and wild turkeys began to show up in other towns. Through the diligent efforts of the DEP Wildlife Division, wild turkey numbers in the year 2000 were put at over 30,000. It is also interesting to note that records kept of turkey releases in Connecticut from 1975 to 1992 indicate that 13 wild turkeys captured in Torrington were released in Cheshire.
Today, wild turkeys can be seen in just about every town and city in Connecticut. Recently, I was sitting in the chair at The Village Barber Shop. I was talking to Glenn Agnew and some of the patrons when I saw three or four turkeys stop the traffic on Main Street while they crossed the road. This is also an interesting aspect about wild turkeys in Connecticut. While they are wild, they seem to become almost domestic when they are located in suburban areas, especially if there is food like bird seed available. Like the turkeys I saw in the Village the other day, they
In the early days, those who hunted turkeys spent a lot of time scouting them and using hen calls to hear them gobble. They would do this repeatedly, and when the turkeys they had “educated” with their constant calling did not come into them, they could not believe it. In the turkey world, the alpha male of the flock is “The King.” The lesser males, called “jakes,” will give him a wide birth when he is courting the hens in the area. I have seen this time and time again in my many turkey hunting forays. Turkey hunting in the spring of the year is really a memorable experience. If it has a down side, it is the early hours you have to get up to do your hunting. You try to get into your area at least a half-hour before sunrise. This can take some doing, because I usually try to acSee Turkeys, A15

complish this without the use of a flashlight.
One of the biggest mistakes many beginning turkey hunters make is over-calling. If you get a gobbler to answer your calls, it’s because he is curious enough and there are no other hens around. Of course, different scenarios call for different tactics and the more you turkey hunt, the more you will find what works for you. Finding out is part of the fun.
I usually have an idea where I am going to set up. I like to use a huge tree with a wide trunk that I can lean against and have it break up my silhouette. This is a glorious time of the year after a long winter. The air is now pungent with the aroma of fresh flowering blossoms from many of the plants and trees that are now showing new signs of life. Once I am settled down, I simply wait and watch my outdoor world come to life with the approaching dawn. Generally, the first ones to stir are the crows and blue jays. Every once in awhile, a white-tailed deer might come walking by, nibbling at various new plant life. The deer seem to know that for now, they are safe and pay little attention to you, although I have had a couple of them snort their surprise when they find me.

One year when we had our place in New York, I had a tom (male) that was hung up and not coming any further. After about a half-hour of calling back and forth, I decided to make like a hen going away. I got up from my spot and started to move further away from the tom. The next thing I knew he was coming like his bottom was on fire. I knew this from the rapidly approaching sound of his gobbling. I panicked and simply sat down on the forest floor without benefit of a tree to hide my silhouette. The bad part was I sat down in a pool of icy cold water. Too late to move, I waited for that old bird to show itself, but luck
And, yes, that water was that cold. I also had a boss gobbler that kept outwitting me every time I went after him. I would call, he would answer and then, after awhile, he would walk off the other way. He almost always roosted in the same area, so on the last day of the turkey season I made my way into the area and vowed I would not make any hen calls until he was on the ground. He finally hit the ground and, let me tell you, it was hard not to use my hen call. Until then, I made one small yelp with the call and then put it down. Sure enough, curiosity got the best of him and he went into the freezer. Spring turkey season in Connecticut began Wednesday, April 26 on both state and private lands. You may take two bearded turkeys on state land and three on private land. The season ends May 27. Hunting hours are one halfhour before sunrise to noon. Hey, hunt safe! God Bless America and watch over our troops wherever they may be.

The best part was I saw the Boss gobbler fly down from his perch and get ready for his strutting approach. As soon as the Boss gobbled, the jakes went silent, knowing they were going to get a good ass-whooping if they
The jakes are a different story. They are generally pretty easy to call in, especially if there is no Boss gobbler in the area.
If you are a beginning spring gobbler hunter, don’t be surprised if a real hen turkey takes the gobbler right away from you. I have had this happen a number of times, including once last year. I had a gobbler set to respond to my hen calling. I did not know it at the time, but there was a hen in a nearby tree, watching and listening to what was going on between me and the gobbler. He was almost in tagging range when the dang hen flew down and walked right in front of him.

One time I had them going crazy with their gobbling, but they were not making any move in my direction. After about 20 minutes of my calling and their answering gobbles, a bit further down in the woods came a booming gobble and I new immediately that the “Boss” was tired of these young males trying to cut in on his territory.

In game two, the Bees held off a late rally from the Revs to earn a 3-2 victory with MLB veteran Joe Beimel coming in and shutting the door in the 9th, earning his first save with the Bees. The Bees then wrapped up the series, taking the rubber match with a 7-2 victory, clinching the first series win for the Bees of the 2017 season.
