Train station fire probe in ‘holding pattern’
Berlin resumes search for new town manager By Ashley Kus Citizen staff
The search for a new town manager is starting up again after the search committee, consisting of the Town Council and Human Resources Director Denise Parsons, decided to keep looking after only five people applied earlier this year.
More than six months after a fire destroyed Berlin’s historic train depot, the investigation is again on hold. Fire Marshal Steve Waznia said last week he was waiting for paperwork and cleanup procedures because the site is contaminated with lead paint and other hazards. “We were hoping to get in there a few weeks ago,” he said. “We’re just in a holding pattern. “In all my years of investigating fires, this is taking a lot longer than

He said a private investigator was hired from Engineering, Fire and Environmental Services out of Massachusetts. The investigator informed Waznia Thursday, July

Baseball field reconstruction under consideration By Ashley Kus Citizen staff
Zipadelli Field at Sage Park may soon be getting a facelift after the Town Council agreed to hold a public hearing at the end of the
month for a $98,000 reconstruction project. “The kids could get hurt so it’s time to do this,” said interim Town Manager Jack Healy, who also serves as public works director. The infield has not been redone for close to 20 years, Healy said,
adding there are some overall safety concerns, including uneven surfaces and drainage issues. Both would be addressed by the proposal. The field is used by the high school baseball team. The entire infield would be ren-
“We’re looking for the whole package,” said Mayor Mark Kaczynski. “All of us have to feel comfortable.” Since the council approved a separation agreement in January with former Town Manager Denise McNair, the search committee has interviewed three candidates. Under the terms of the separation agreement, the town paid McNair $65,686, six months of her annual salary. McNair was also paid for unused vacation time. Kaczynski said five people applied and two decided to withdraw before the interview process. “I think it’s unfortunate that this process has taken as long as it has,” said town councilor Rachel Rochette. Jack Healy, public works director and town engineer, has been the interim town manager since May. He is receiving a monthly stipend in addition to

A total of $70,000 was budgeted for the work. Finance Director Kevin Delaney said bids came in higher than anticipated. Money left over from other projects would be used to cover the difference, including the recently approved school security project.
“There will not be additional new borrowing to do,” Delaney said. “We’ll be re-purposing borrowings that we haven’t actually spent since 2011.” The work would be done by Sports Turf Specialties, Inc. “We don’t want to have a sub par field for our baseball players,” said Mayor Mark Kaczynski. The council expects to vote on the appropriation on the same day as the hearing, Tuesday, July 25, at 7 p.m. akus@record-journal.com

Security video from The Italian Club on Harding Street shows the fire from beginning to end. The video has been sent for further evaluation and enhancement. Waznia has said nothing to date indicates the fire was intentionally set. It is still believed to have started in the north end of the building on the first floor.
The future of the site was also discussed. “Nobody wants to see it paved over,” said Lorraine Stub, Historical Society secretary. A petition started circulating in January to rebuild the station, though Stub said, financially, that was likely not possible now.

Local man portrays King Arthur in ‘Spamalot’ By Lauren Takores Record-Journal staff
MERIDEN — As the song goes, the Knights of the Round Table eat ham, and jam, and Spam — a lot. The Castle Craig Players will close its season with “Monty Python’s Spamalot,” running July 28 to Aug. 6 at the Almira F. Stephan Memorial Playhouse.
Game Recap by Cody Jennette
Last week, the four Bees players who were named to be Atlantic League All-Stars played in the AllStar game in Bridgewater, New Jersey, and got back in action with three games against the Blue Crabs. In the All-Star game, Jovan Rosa hit a 2 run home run in the first inning to give the Liberty Division an early 2-0 lead. When regular season play resumed on Friday, the Bees won their weekend series against Southern Maryland, coming from behind to secure both of their wins. Michael Crouse hit two 3 run home runs in the series. Kyle Simon tossed a complete game on Saturday night, only allowing 1 run, and Conor Bierfeldt had his second walkoff hit of the season on Sunday afternoon. New Britain hits the road this week to play three games against Long Island and then four games against Somerset. They will be back home on Monday, July 24th to host Lancaster for four games and then play a weekend home series against York. The home stand will feature three different giveaways, an Irish heritage night, the Bees Summer Block Party, fireworks, and a first pitch by SportsCenter anchor Linda Cohn!
When: 7:30 p.m. July 2829 and Aug. 3-5, 2 p.m. July 30 and Aug. 6 Where: The Almira F. Stephan Memorial Playhouse, 59 W. Main St. Tickets: $25 for adults, $20 for seniors. Available online at www. castlecraig.org or by calling 1-800-838-3006.

audience surveys every year for the past couple years.
“This is the biggest show we’ve ever done, and we’ve done some big ones,” said Director Ian Galligan.
“The rights just became available a couple years ago,” Galligan said. “So we said, let’s do it.”
There are 16 people in the cast. In true Monty Python-style, actors play several parts in addition to their main role. That’s costumes, wigs, blocking and choreography for dozens of characters.
Castle Craig Players shows resume in the fall after their 25th anniversary gala in October. Those attending “Spamalot” will be the first to hear the announcement of the upcoming season’s shows.

Playing Sir Robin, “one of the silliest characters,” has been an opportunity to build on his performance skills, using other voices in secondary parts and showing off his newly learned tap dancing.
“It’s fun to see, every summer when I do a show, what I’ve taken from the (school) year and then put it into effect,” he said.

COMMENTARY
Match-making for pets perfectly done By Olivia L. Lawrence Citizen Staff
One of my favorite regular items in our weekly editions are the short submissions known variably as Pet Adoptions, Pet of the Week, or Shelter Pets. The reason this small section speaks to me? The stories told – in just one or two brief paragraphs – can’t be beat. Readers learn the back story on these animals, their likes and dislikes, their disposition and any special circumstances of which a new owner should be aware. And if you’ve ever tried to get a decent picture of your pet, you’ll appreciate the photos. Cats on their best behavior. Dogs posed looking like a best friend, for sure. Friends of Berlin Animal Control sends in cats and dogs most weeks. Hearts United Cat Rescue sends adoptable cats every week for Berlin and Plainville editions. Cat Tales is featured weekly in Town Times, our Middlefield, Durham and Rockfall

edition. The Animal Haven sends adoptable cats (and an occasional dog) each week for The North Haven Citizen weekly. Occasionally, Southington Animal Control sends an adoptable pet notice. These adoption services provide information on health and special considerations so potential human companions can make good decisions. With just a few words the writers convey temperament, needs, and idiosyncrasies. These little descriptions give the pet not only a good shot at adoption but also help ensure the match will succeed – that neither the animal nor new owner will experience unnecessary stress.
Medical concerns are addressed as well as behavioral issue or situational ones. The back stories can be heart-wrenching: abandonments, abuse, animals who’ve been through some kind of rehabilitation – whether surgical or a period of adjustment to relearn trust in humans again. You have to admire the creativity and integrity of these posts. Descriptions paint a picture of “a sweet boy,” “a feisty princess,” “a shy, but curious fellow that will purr for hours once he warms up to you.” Nearly all of these pet submissions are done by volunteers who take up this chore
week after week. Here are a few more examples from the archives: Cleopatra is a sweet, affectionate black cat. She mingles well with her new friends at the shelter and craves attention. Lacey is a quiet, friendly girl who would love to break out of Petsmart (a partner on some adoptions) and bask in the sunshine in a window of your home.

outside. They did not have human contact until just recently when they were rescued. They are being socialized and getting ready for their forever homes. Lucy is one of the sweetest dogs to ever come to the shelter. She was found by the police wandering the streets. Her ears and skin were infected so badly she cried and moaned around the clock. Through all this, she never growled or showed any signs of aggression. She is feeling much better and is a wonderful dog. The shelter has promised her she will never be neglected again.

Letters to the Editor New leadership needed To the editor: As a recent Berlin High School graduate, and a taxpayer, I’m disturbed by the lack of leadership at the state capitol by our own representative, Joe Aresimowicz. “Rep.” Joe’s failure to bring forward profound and real reforms to the state is incredibly sad and disheartening. Time and again we see Joe put his own interests before the priorities of his constituents. He supports employee pension obligations which will further erode the fiscal stability of our state. He feels that we need tolls; like we don’t get taxed enough. His failure to deliver on a budget
on time hurts our bonding and how Connecticut is perceived by businesses in our state, and those that may look to move here. I want to speak to very specific age groups. For those age 18-25: We are the ones who are going to be paying for Joe’s incompetence for the rest of our lives because he put his own interests in front of our own. 25-34: Looking for a job is harder than ever before because of the mockery Joe has made of the state. Businesses cannot take us seriously any more. 35-54: Think about what you are working towards financially and having the burden of higher taxes on your plate. 55-plus: Think about your retirement, and what you had to work for to get where you

We should not expect more from Joe. After all, his own salary comes directly from the same system that he is pushing through for you to accept. We can also talk about the union salary he also receives.
The Record-Journal also deserves a failure mark. They fail to call him on anything. All the newspaper pieces are written like they work for Joe as his public relations department. Joe doesn’t want to hear doom and gloom about the state? Isn’t that like putting your head in the sand? Or as a child putting your head under the covers when you are afraid of the dark? Joe is not a leader– neither is Cathy Abercrombie. Connecticut deserves better than Joe and Cathy. Berlin and Meriden residents deserve better than Joe and Cathy.

He taught and coached at Farmington, Terryville and Crosby high schools. “My familiarity with the CCC attracted me to the job,” Scavone said. “I was on a couple different committees – tournament and realignment – when I was at Berlin.
I also know most of the ADs very well. I think that will be an advantage going in.

enced AD with a younger one as a means of establishing solid footing.
“Dan was assigned to be my mentor in the CCC. He’s always been a big fan. He was a very good sounding board. He won’t tell you what the answer is but helps you make the right decision. We’re going from one tremendous person to another. We’re in really good hands with Dan.”
Scavone is a staunch proponent of the Class Act Schools initiative, which the CIAC developed “to empower schools and particularly students to take ownership for all issues related to sportsmanship within the athletics department.” Leadership sub-committees will be formed at participating schools, the best of which will be recognized by the CIAC.
“Dan will do a great job. He comes with a wealth of knowledge,” Katz said. “He has held leadership roles in CAAD and he has worked closely with the CIAC administration. He is very intelligent, hardworking and ethical.”
