Local businesses, residents honored at awards ceremony By Devin Leith-Yessian The Citizen
Family-owned businesses and companies employing hundreds of locals were recognized at the annual Berlin Economic Development Awards ceremony on Wednesday, May 23.
At a public hearing Monday night, students rallied to the defense of a school program while residents supported services for the elderly and disabled, prompting the Board of Finance to reject further cuts to municipal funding and increase school funding beyond the allocation rejected by referendum on May 22.
Since the company’s Farmington Avenue storefront opened last June, Bannon said sales have rose sharply. “I’m hiring a lot more people to keep up with the demand,” he said. “We’ve been doing really well here.”

“We need to put party politics aside and fix this situation,” resident Craig Bowman said. “These are all important social services our community deserves.” "When houses go on the market they get eaten up pretty quick,” he said. “What's going to happen when those houses go on the market and they don't have the trash pickup, they don't have the camps, they don't have pools? These are all important things.” See Budget, A4

“It was a proud moment for us as a new business in Berlin,” said James Bannon, owner and chef at Box Bistro.
The company, which sells pre-made meals with an emphasis on healthy eating, was awarded the Small Business of the Year award. It was one of nine local businesses and community members recognized at the ceremony, which has been held for approximately 15 years.

HEALTHY LIVING: 8 things to know about bike riding By Ashley Kus Record-Journal staff
With the weather warming up and more opportunities to get outside, here are 8 things to know about bike riding in Connecticut this summer from Dillon Pronovost, owner of Cheshire Cycle in Hamden.
Health benefits According to Pronovost, bike riding is one of the best forms of exercise, right behind swimming and rowing. While swimming is considered the highest caloric burn, bike riding can be done without a body of water. Bike riding is a high caloric burn with a low impact. The
harder a rider pedals, the more calories they can burn. Because it is low impact, everyone from young children to senior citizens can participate.

The budget proposed allocates $44.6 million for general government funding and $43.9 million for the Board of Education, necessitating a 1.11 mill rate increase to 32.72. For resident paying taxes on a $250,000 home, that would represent a $194 tax increase.
Dr. Yu is accepting new patients at The Hospital of Central Connecticut Family Health Center in Bristol.
"For $194 a year we're going to fund education, we're going to fund the town,” said Board of Finance Chair Sam Lomaglio. The finance board reinstated $250,000 removed from the Board of Education budget by the Town Council at its May 15 meeting after hearing residents share how the school system’s reputation had brought them to the town.

Berlin High junior Emma Arroyo said she once skipped classes and hid in a bathroom stall while having a panic attack because she had nowhere she felt she could turn. "If I had not been put in ESS, these patterns probably would have never stopped. I would not be on track to go to college or maybe even graduate,” she said. “Basically I had such bad anxiety I would get overwhelmed over doing simple tasks that I was very capable of doing and became exhausted, depressed and gave up.” “Do not go through with

Berlin, Meriden police team up to catch suspected mosque burglar MERIDEN — A New Jersey man faces charges after police said he broke into the Masjid Al-Rawdah mosque in 2016 and stole about $3,000 in donations. Jerry Hinton, 53, of 35 Lawrence Ave., Bloomfield, New Jersey, was arrested on Sunday, May 27 and charged with third-degree burglary, third-degree larceny and third-degree criminal mischief. On June 24, 2016 police responded to the Masjid AlRawdah mosque, 189 E. Main St., for a report of a burglary, according to an arrest warrant.

Hinton then broke into a locked office and stole between $3,000 and $3,500 in donations, the warrant said.
Also, Hinton was charged with third-degree burglary, sixth-degree larceny and third-degree criminal mischief in an October 2016 burglary at a Danbury mosque.
Through the investigation, Meriden police learned Berlin police were investigating a burglary at the Islamic Association of Greater Hartford mosque, 1781 Berlin Tpke., on the same day, the warrant said. Police obtained the license plate from the suspect vehicle in that case and Meriden police noted it matched the suspect vehicle from the Meriden case.

town of berlin Report by: Berlin Water Control Commission 240 Kensington Road - Kensington CT 06037 Date: May 21, 2018 BERLIN WATER CONTROL COMMISSION POTABLE WATER CONFIDENCE REPORT JANUARY 1, 2017 TO DECEMBER 31, 2017 For over fifty (50) years, the Berlin Water Control Commission has provided the residents of Berlin, Connecticut with a safe, palatable supply of drinking water. This bulletin has been prepared to provide the approximately 2,600 residential, commercial and industrial customers of this supply with the confidence that the water they consume meets and, in most cases, exceeds all State and Federal requirements for drinking water. The Berlin Water Control Commission was established in 1966. During the period extending from January 1, 2017 to DECEMBER 31, 2017, it sold Three Hundred Sixty Eight Million, Nine Hundred Eighty Four Thousand, Four Hundred Thirty Five (368,984,435) gallons of water to its residential, commercial, and industrial customers. The Berlin Water Control Commission produced 56.72% (209,254,107 gallons) of its water needs and purchased 34.20% (126,195,828 gallons) from the New Britain Water Department and 9.08% (33,354,500 gallons) from the Cromwell Fire District. This report covers that portion of the supply originating from wells owned and operated by the Commission. Reports on those portions of the supply provided by the New Britain Water Department and the Cromwell Fire District can be provided upon request. The Berlin Water Control Commission supply, excluding that provided by the New Britain Water Department and the Cromwell Interconnection, comes from two (2) sources: ELTON Well #1B; and ELTON Well #2A. A third (3rd) well, Swede Pond: Production Well #2, installed in 1973 (a well with a depth of 92 feet and a capacity of 550 gallons per minute) was replaced by Well #2A in 1996. ELTON Well #1 was installed in 1973 and rehabilitated in 1994 and 1997; Well #1 was replaced in 1998 by a new Well #1A. Well #1A was replaced by Well 1B in 2017. ELTON Well #2A (with a depth of 95 feet and a production of 350 gallons per minute, as stated above) was placed in service in 1996. Well 2A was rehabilitated in 2017. Water from ELTON Wells #1B and #2A are blended together prior to entering the distribution system. As required by the Connecticut State Department of Health, the Berlin Water Control Commission has to have two tradesmen classified as Treatment Operators Class 1 and one tradesman classified as Class 2. The Water Control Commission has two tradesmen classified as Distribution Operators Class 1 and one tradesman classified as Class 2. Monthly testing of the water supplied by the Berlin Water Control Commission has shown that the water has met or exceeded every standard set by the State and Federal Agencies for quality and safety. The following tables summarize the analytical results of water samples taken from various locations within the distribution system. Table I includes all of the REGULATED contaminants that were detected during the 2016 sampling season (or the last required testing/ reporting calendar year period for some parameters). Although all were well below Maximum Contaminant Levels (MCLs), the following lists their significance and possible reasons: Chlorides are an indicator of sewage pollution if found in concentrations higher than normal for the area. Normal chloride concentrations vary with distance from bodies of salt water.
Nitrate Nitrogen can enter potable water as runoff from fertilizers or, as in most cases, from erosion of natural deposits. High concentrations, in excess of 10 parts per million (ppm) may cause a condition know as Methemoglobinemia when given to very young infants. It can also be transmitted to infants by nursing mothers who have consumed the water. Trichloroethene (TCE): Some people who drink water containing Trichloroethylene in excess of the Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL) over many years could experience problems with their liver, and may have an increased risk of getting cancer. Sodium: Persons with high blood pressure, hypertension, congestive heart disease or persons on a low salt diet should consult their physician before consuming a drinking water source with a high sodium level. Total Organic Carbon is a measure of the natural organic matter in potable water. It is used as a general measure of water quality and has no specific health concerns. Cyanide: Excessive levels of cyanide can cause nerve and thyroid damage. It may be found in the discharges of various manufacturing operations.
Trihalomethanes (TTHMs) are those compounds created by the chlorination of drinking water by the reaction of the chlorine or organic matter. A Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL) of 80 milligrams per liter (mg/L) has been established. Some people who drink water containing Trihalomethanes in excess of the MCL, over many years, may experience problems with their liver, kidneys or central nervous system, or may have an increased risk of getting cancer. Turbidity is a measure of the cloudiness of water. It is monitored because it is a good indicator of water quality. High turbidity levels can also hinder the effectiveness of disinfection. Net Gross Alpha Emitters : There are small amounts of naturally occurring radioactivity present in the environment. Long term exposure to levels well above the maximum contaminant level may cause cancer and cognitive problems. The news of high lead levels in the water in Flint, Michigan illustrated the vital importance to public health of appropriate monitoring, sampling, and testing for lead and copper. Federal regulations require that homes be sampled every three years by having the homeowner collect a one-liter sample from the cold-water kitchen tap as a “first draw” (after the water has been standing motionless in household pipes for at least six hours). Samples were collected from the Berlin Water Control Commission in 2015 and will be due again in 2018. Table II of this report summarizes the results of lead and copper testing conducted in 2015. During this round of sampling, none of the twenty-four homes sampled were above the action levels set by the EPA. The EPA requires 90% of samples taken in a sampling period fall below the action levels, therefore, the Berlin Water Control Commission remains in compliance with the Lead and Copper Rule. Please note the following information concerning lead and copper in public drinking water: Copper: Copper is an essential nutrient, but some people who drink water containing copper in excess of the action level over a relatively short amount of time could experience gastrointestinal distress. Some individuals who may drink water containing elevated copper in excess of the action level over may years could suffer liver or kidney damage. People with Wilson’s disease should consult their personal health provider. During the lead and copper monitoring period conducted in 2015, there were no exceedances of the copper action level en any of the first draw samples collected by the homeowners. Lead: If present, elevated levels of lead can cause serious health problems, especially for pregnant women and young children. Lead in drinking water is primarily from materials and components associated with service lines and home plumbing. The Berlin Water Control Commission is responsible for providing high quality drinking water, but cannot control the variety of materials used in plumbing components. When your water has been sitting in the residential plumbing for several hours, you can minimize the potential for lead exposure by flushing your tap for 30 seconds to two minutes before using water for drinking or cooking. If you are concerned about lead in your water, you may wish to have your water tested. Information on lead in drinking water, testing methods, and steps you can take to minimize exposure is available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline or at http://epa.gov/safewater/lead. Another simple way to reduce the possible exposure to lead is to regularly clean your faucet screens to remove material that may become trapped in the screen. Some of that material may be lead particles from your home’s internal plumbing. Finally, do not use hot water from the tap to make infant formula or for cooking. Hot water may have higher mineral content than the cold water supplied by the Berlin Water Control Commission. Infants and young children who drink water containing lead in excess of the action level could experience delays in their physical or mental development. Children could show slight deficits in attention span and learning abilities. Adults who drink water containing lead in excess of the action level over many years can develop kidney problems or high blood pressure. Infants and young children are typically more vulnerable to lead in drinking water than the general population. While the Berlin Water Control Commission uses no lead pipes in its distribution system, it is possible that lead levels may be elevated in your home, which is a result of materials used in your home’s plumbing. Table III (page 10) includes all of the UNREGULATED contaminants that were detected within the last five sampling years. The Unregulated Contaminant Monitoring Rule (UCMR) requires certain public water systems to collect data on contaminants suspected to be present in drinking water, but not currently subject to regulation. The following contaminants were not tested by New Britain Water during the 2017 calendar year, but were detected in testing conducted by New Britain Water in the 2015 calendar year. We are obligated to report these result for five years in our report. Although both contaminants detected were well below recommended public health limits, the following lists their significance and possible reasons: Chromium: The most common forms of Chromium, Chromium-3, and Chromium-6 occur naturally in the environment and can be found in drinking water from the erosion of rocks and soil. Chromium 6 is also produced by industrial processes and manufacturing discharges. At high levels, Chromium-6 is likely carcinogenic and the EPA is currently working toward completing a human health assessment.
Barium: Excessive levels of Barium could cause increases in blood pressure. Barium is found naturally in the environment and may also be found in the discharge of drilling wastes and metal finishing.
Strontium: Strontium is a naturally-occurring element used as strontium carbonate in pyrotechnics, in steel production, as a catalyst and as a lead scavenger. At high levels, strontium has been found to replace calcium in bone, affecting skeletal development. Strontium levels are not currently regulated by the EPA, but it is currently under consideration.
Fluoride, in low levels, has been shown to help prevent tooth decay. The Center for Disease Control (CDC) has a recommended optimal level of 0.7 mg/L while the EPA’s recommended upper limit for fluoride in drinking water is 2.0 mg/L. Excessive fluoride may lead
Chlorate: Chlorate is an anion that can enter water sources through the use of certain disinfectant use, pesticide runoff, or other industrial discharges. Consumption at high dosages can cause problems in the nervous system in infants and young children.
The sources of drinking water (both tap water and bottled water) include rivers, lakes, streams, ponds, reservoirs, springs and wells. As water travels over the surface of the land or through the ground, it dissolves naturally occurring minerals and, in some cases, radioactive material, and can pick up substances resulting from the presence of animals or from human activity. Contaminants that may be present in source water include: Microbial contaminants, such as viruses and bacteria, which may come from sewage treatment plants, septic systems, agricultural livestock operations, and wildlife. Inorganic contaminants, such as salts and metals, which can be naturally occurring or resulting from urban stormwater runoff, industrial or domestic wastewater discharges, oil and gas production, mining or farming. Pesticides and herbicides, which may come from a variety of sources such as agriculture, urban stormwater runoff, and residential uses. Organic Chemical contaminants, including synthetic and volatile organic chemicals, which are by-products of industrial processes and petroleum production, and can also come from gas stations, urban stormwater runoff, and septic systems. Radioactive contaminants, which can be naturally occurring or be the result of oil and gas production and mining activities. In order to ensure that tap water is safe to drink, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) prescribes regulations that limit the amount of certain contaminants in water provided by public water systems. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulations establish limits for contaminants in bottled water which must provide the same protection for public health. Drinking water, including bottled water, may reasonably be expected to contain at least small amounts of some contaminants. The presence of contaminants does not necessarily indicate that water poses a health risk. More information about contaminants and potential health effects can be obtained by calling the Environmental Protection Agency’s Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800-426-7491). However, some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than the general population. Immuno-compromised persons such as persons with cancer undergoing chemotherapy, persons who have undergone organ transplants, people with HIV/ AIDS or other immune system disorders, some elderly, and infants can be particularly at risk from infections. These people should seek advice about drinking water from their health care providers. EPA/ CDC guidelines on appropriate means to lessen the risk of infection by Cryptosporidium and other microbial contaminants are available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800-426-4791). WATER CONSERVATION: Water is our most valuable natural resource. It is essential for life as we know it. Although we in the Northeast have been blessed with, at least until now, what appears to be an unlimited supply of pure, safe drinking water, the preservation of this valuable resource is the responsibility of all. Following are just a few of the many steps that we can all take to prevent the waste and, perhaps loss, of this most valuable gift: Detect and repair leaky faucets and toilets. Install water-efficient showers and dish-and/or-clothes washers Limit the time spent in showering. Detect and repair leaky faucets and toilets. Install water-efficient showers and dish-and/or-clothes washers Limit the time spent in showering. Water lawns and gardens only when needed, and then only early (or late) in the day to prevent water loss by evaporation during the hot period of the day. Add mulch when possible to prevent evaporation. Wash automobiles only when absolutely necessary. Do not leave water running when shampooing or brushing one’s teeth. If we all take these steps as well as any others that you may think of, we will be able to assure ourselves and future generations of a safe, potable drinking water supply for many years to come. Continuous monitoring is also being carried out to provide further protection for our consumers. The Berlin Water Control Commission is proud to offer this report to its customers; and to report that all of the State and Federal requirements for Public Water have not only met but, in most cases, exceeded every standard set by the State and Federal Agencies for quality and safety. Please Note: The State of Connecticut Department of Public Health has performed an assessment of our drinking water sources. The completed assessment report is available for access on the Drinking Water Division’s web site: address of: www.dph. state.ct.us/BRS/Water/DWD.btm If you have any questions concerning the Berlin Water Control Commission and the water that it supplies, please contact Ray Jarema of the Berlin Water Control Commission in Berlin, at (860) 828-7065, He will be most happy to answer any questions that you may have, or supply you with any additional information you may need.

BERLIN – Mark Dutkiewicz, 63, of Berlin, passed away peacefully on May 28, 2018. Born in Meriden, CT, on May 30, 1954, he grew up in Berlin and always found his way back there as his home. Mark was a very skilled welder of whom was said to “weld like an artist”. In his younger years he did welding on Shelby Ford Mustang frames. His artistic talent enabled him to use chalk, ink and paint to depict those things in nature which he loved. He enjoyed the outdoors, and fishing was one of his favorite pastimes. He enjoyed the quiet solitude of a babbling stream which provided a respite from the noisy clanging of the welding shop. In the later part of his working life, he was half of the Timber Works Tree Service team and enjoyed the involvement and challenge of that kind of work. Mark was a gentle soul who loved children, fine art and craftsmanship. He was at peace with his world and the people around him. He moved through life

Master Gardener lays out the importance of pollination The Berlin-Peck Memorial Library, with the Berlin Land Trust, presented a program recently about the role that pollinators play in gardens. The program, part of the BLT’s Land Stewardship Series, was presented by Richard Dalidowitz, a director of the Land Trust and URI Master Gardener, and focused on ecologically beneficial ways to garden and maintain land, helping to enhance our quality of life. Dalidowitz explained that there has been a shift in gardening and landscaping from “merely pretty and appealing to the eye” toward using plants and practices that also enhance the local ecosystem, an intricate web that supports a variety of biological species, including humans. This ecological approach has been fueled by the results of studies into the declining populations of honey bees and the Monarch butterfly. Three key factors were discussed that have contributed to pollinator struggles – habitat loss, disease and the inappropriate and widespread use of pesticides. Dalidowitz provided an overview of the many types of pollinators which include bees, including the honey bee as well as nearly 4000 species of native ground and twig nesting bees, butterflies, moths, beetles, flies and birds. He pointed out the pollinators are attracted to specific plants because of certain features, including the color of the flower, the scent/odor, the physical shape of the flower and whether there is nectar and/ or pollen. Interestingly, Dalidowitz explained that pollinators are primarily seeking food from the plant flowers in the form of nectar, high in sugar and amino acids, or pollen, which provides protein. As the pollinators gather their food, they inadvertently transfer pollen so that fruits
and seeds are eventually produced and the plant can reproduce. Dalidowitz concluded by profiling over 20 plants, with different bloom times, which could be incorporated into the home garden to provide a season-long bloom to attract specific pollinators. Suggestions were provided about grouping and positioning the plants so that at least one plant was in bloom throughout the growing season. Many of these plants are native to New England, a key factor ensuring recognition by the pollinators in our area. — Press Release Richard Dalidowitz, a director of the Land Trust and URI Master Gardener, presented a program recently about the role that pollinators play in gardens.

students help raise money to support their teams (car wash, etc.) These events also teach students valuable skills.
Now we are hearing about large cuts to the school and town budgets as a result of the two no votes.
I believe sports are an important part of growing up and maturing. Sports provide many key skills you need to survive in the world. Participating in sports provided me an opportunity to learn teamwork, make friends and develop leadership skills.
I think one of the issues in not getting to a reasonable budget is the lack of working together (teamwork) by the town leadership. The two political parties continue to argue and make no effort to work together.
It saddens me that some people feel these are not important skills to learn.

Before going any further, let me say that this is not a letter concerning the newly appointed town manager.

Bike care Bike tires need to be properly pressurized for safe riding. Pronovost suggests that riders pump their tires weekly, depending on the type of tire, and even before every ride to get the tires to the right PSI. Floor pumps are typically used to service tires at home. Lubricating the bike chain also keeps the bike running properly and efficiently. These types of services can be done without professional help.
Bike service Pronovost recommends owners get bikes tuned up by a shop before the riding season, which typically begins around Memorial Day. A basic tune up includes ad-

Toll From A11
shreds confidence among constituents. Two years ago we celebrated (pardon the sarcasm) the quarter century mark of the state income tax, an adoption “with disastrous results,” as an opinion piece in Forbes put it in August 2016. “The institution of Connecticut’s income tax was followed by a marked uptick in the size of state government,” said the article by Patrick Gleason. “From 1991 to 2014, state government
spending in Connecticut grew 71 percent faster than the rate of inflation, while population only grew by 9 percent during that same period.” Will adopting highway tolls just make all of that worse? Proponents have an election season to make the case that it won’t, but don’t expect anything but a tough audience. Reach Jeffery Kurz at 203317-2213, or jkurz@recordjournal.com
