Firefighters escort Trade Center relics to Berlin By Daniel Jackson Special to The Citizen
Last September, Kensington Fire Rescue Chief Mark Lewandowski learned that steel from the World Trade Center was available to nonprofit organizations, governments, and other public entities for the purpose of creating monuments remembering 9/11. He immediately wrote a letter to the authories overseeing the distribution, requesting steel. “That afternoon, I went to the firehouse and the guys were saying ‘Hey we should do this — I just said, ‘well, I already wrote the letter.’” Aug. 10, 16 Kensington firefighters traveled to John F. Kennedy Airport in New York City to escort sections of steel from the twin towers back to Berlin in order to create a 9/11 memorial in town.
At the Connecticut border, Kensington fire department’s Squad 4 fire truck met the flat-bed truck hauling the steel and led the procession back to Berlin. Fireman Mark Diliberto said “It brings that whole day closer to home.” “It was the darkest day in the fire services. There is a lot of sorrow, but we are also extremely proud,” Lewandowski said. Thousands of civilians, as well as 343 New York firefighters, died when the World Trade Center collapsed Sept. 11, 2001. A month after he wrote the letter requesting the steel, Lewandowski traveled to JFK airport to select pieces for the Berlin memorial. The relics are stored in Hangar 17, where Port Authority

Mom gives birth outside as Savage Hill neighbors keep watch By Olivia L. Lawrence The Berlin Citizen
A woman who gave birth outside her house on Savage Hill Road last week described the scene as “utter chaos” — still she’s grateful for the help she and her new baby daughter received from local emergency personnel. DeAndrea Lighty was resting at UConn Medical Center, Aug. 11, as she calmly described the events of Aug. 10 that resulted in the birth of her fourth child, Jeydah. She’d had contractions the night before and had been to the hospital, but doctors there had sent her home. Around 8:30 a.m. Aug. 10, “the contractions started coming fast,” she said. Lighty called her husband, a truck driver, and told him he needed to get home.
The Lighty family welcomes Jeydah, who was born in their Savage Hill Road front yard Aug. 10. From left: father Donavon Lighty, Juniya, 3, holding her baby sister, and Jayden, 5.
Donavon finished making one last delivery on his route, then raced home. He got his wife and their three
children into the car. “We were going to the hospital,” DeAndrea said, when it became clear that there
wouldn’t be time. DeAndrea’s mother called Hunters Ambulance. Police and paramedics arrived shortly and closed the road. Neighbors had started to gather outside. Paramedics told DeAndrea she couldn’t deliver in the car, but she was in too much pain to move far. They considered having her move into the house, but she wanted to stay close to the ambulance. “So I gave birth outside,”
she said. “It was utter chaos.” Her husband was very nervous, she said, and it seemed to her that the police were “a little nervous,” too. “And I was not happy,” DeAndrea said. Two ambulances, five paramedics and a couple of police officers attended the

film will perform well because of the caliber of the actors and crew coming together to make the movie. For example, he’s signed Chris Klein, of American Pie fame, to play one of the characters. Fierro plans to use Connecticut-based crews and local scenes to shoot the movie. In one scene, the little boy in The Firefly Jar runs across a field, and Bicentennial Park is under consideration as a site. Fierro plans to send the movie to about 20 film festivals, including the Sundance Film festival and the Cannes Film festival. If the film does well, the movie will be sent for consideration at the Academy Awards. Although an independent filmaker now, Fierro would like to get noticed by an agency. “What happens behind the scenes makes it in-

Since Gary Fierro graduated from Berlin High school in 2005, he has written, produced and directed several short-films and one featurelength movie. Already an accomplished independent filmmaker, Fierro is working towards something more. It’s a longshot, but his goal is to get nominated for an Academy Award this year. Fierro, who was a broadcasting major at Middlesex Community College, has written the script and is currently raising money and enlisting cast and crew to create his newest film: The Firefly Jar. It’s a dramatic short film about a boy who goes to live with his grandmother in Connecticut after his mother
dies in a car accident. The boy must learn to move on and embrace life through his imagination. “For my short to win an Academy Award,” said Fierro. “The scenes have to cut at just the right time, the score has to hit emotion with each note; everything has to be perfect.” Fierro already has tasted success. In 2007, he and his friend won a national Butterfinger commercial contest. Besides winning a laptop, a movie camera and an Xbox, he also won a year’s supply of Butterfingers. In the past, Fierro has made comedy films —the kind of films he most enjoys creating. But dramatic films do best at film festivals, he said. Fierro believes his new

Berlin company meets 9/11 memories in Hangar 17 By Daniel Jackson Special to The Citizen
(Reporter Daniel Jackson was on assignment for The Citizen with members of Kensington Fire Rescue who traveled to New York to retrieve relics from Ground Zero.) Driving up to Hangar 17, you’d think the horror from
Sept. 11, 2001 would have been forgotten, or at least just something of an open secret. The hangar, the size of two football fields, looks like any other hangar in JFK airport and nothing distinguishes it from the outside. But the relics stored inside trigger memories from that day — and the aftermath for
victims, rescue personnel, and workers cleaning up Ground Zero. For the rest of us, it’s a living history room. I was nine when the attacks occurred, too young at the time to grasp the emotion of that day. Hangar 17 is normally off limits to the public, but because Kensington Fire Res-
cue traveled here to pick up steel, it was a rare chance to view the remains of that day. We walked into a room that almost looked like a steel plant, with steel
stacked into neat piles. But the deformed beams reminded us; this was sacred ground. See Memories, page 8

Relics Continued from page 1
oversees storage of materials from the World Trade Center. The Port Authority saved only a small amount of the steel from the World Trade Center. Peter Miller, a Port Authority employee, estimates 99 percent of the steel was shipped overseas to be recycled. Seven and a half tons were melted to form the prow of the warship USS New York. Today, that collection of steel is dwindling. Organizations world over are requesting steel to create memorials. For example, one eight foot section will be shipped to Paradiso, Italy. Other pieces were designated for the 9/11 Museum in New York. Because the town already had plans to improve the area in front of the fire house, by creating a small park, the fire
department made plans for a 9/11 memorial to be erected there as well. The town agreed, and the new memorial will stand where the flagpole exists today. An official dedication, for the Berlin memorial, is planned for Sept. 11, 2011, a decade after that fateful day. At that point, firefighter Tom Powers said “People can physically put their hand on the steel, touch it.” The firefighters brought back three I-beams from New York. Lewandowski descibed the planned design. Two of the beams, which are straight, will stand on end to represent the twin towers. Behind these, a third, twisted beam, will represent the horror of Ground Zero. “It made you wonder how much force was needed to twist that steel into pretzels,” Powers said. To transport the steel, the

Kensington Fire Rescue contacted Manafort Brothers, and the Plainville company volunteered to move the steel at no charge. The company helped clean Ground Zero after the attacks and has ties to the Kensington fire department.
Lewandowski said he would like to include all the attacks from that day at the memorial. He wants to sink the steel into a concrete bed in the shape of the Pentagon. “I also want to tie in an aspect of flight 93. It would be great if we could get a large
rock from Stonycreek Township to put at our memorial.” The firefighters pointed out that this memorial is not only to remember their brothers who perished in the towers, but for the memories of all 9/11 victims.
Memories
the plane hit. As he keeps one eye on the workers loading our truck, he tells his story of Sept. 11. “It was kinda a bad day,” he said, in obvious understatement. His colleague watched as a plane approached and struck a building 30 stories above them. Realizing what had happened, Miller walked out of the building and survived. For the visitors to Hangar 17, the trip opened afresh the memories. For many Berlin firefighters, they could only help from afar, raising money and donating blood. But for Jeff Gdovin, who was part of the rescue effort, those days are much more vivid. “It’s upsetting because it brings back a lot of memories. I was walking over those same beams looking for people, digging like everybody else.” Conrad Ouellette, an employee for Manafort Brothers, delivered heavy equipment to and from Ground
Zero during the cleanup. “I’ll never forget the smell,” Ouellette said. When asked what it smelled like, he paused from folding up the chains on his truck and then replied, “Death.” While looking around the hangar, someone pointed out one twisted and bent beam as long as a bus; it had been rammed by the airplane. The force echoing from the steel was staggering. When the plane went through the building, it took floor beams with it, and rivets tore free from the plate that secured it to its neighbors. This was just one piece. The plane punched through row upon row of such supports on its way into the building. A jet rumbled off into the sky and startled me from my thoughts. As I looked up at the airplane through the open hangar door and back at the steel, the tragedy and terror of Sept. 11 became very real.
Continued from page 6 In the center of the hangar, a large white tent had been erected. Inside, firefighters and I were able to glimpse a grey mass, the height of a doorknob, so close we could touch it. It was a car, smashed from the debris of the building. The whole room was filled with vehicles damaged by debris: cabs, ambulances, and fire trucks. On the far wall lay a hook and ladder truck. Its ladder smashed and twisted and its windows blown out. “A fire truck is a strong piece of equipment,” said Ted Domeroskas. “We’re supposed to be the heroes; you’re not supposed to see trucks like that.” The trip by Kensington Fire Rescue brought together some of the people caught up in that day. Peter Miller, a Port Authority employee, was working in the north tower when

He will now compete with other winners for one of the top three prizes — an additional $5,000, $10,000 or $25,000. “Reforming Reading Instruction” is the innovative and winning program developed by Mangi. The program is designed to empower students by giving them an active role in choosing their learning tools. Students will improve their own reading skills by selecting their own material from age and level-
appropriate choices for assignments. According to Mangi, the concept has been studied by educators across the country to build towards a more effective model of teaching literacy and has been widely accepted. Funds from the grant will be used to purchase a greater variety of novels. Mangi hopes the program will help students feel invested, capable, and motivate them to connect with the novel of their choice. To learn more about this project, visit www.ing.com /us/unsungheroes.

Solicitation warning
Representative needed
In light of recent media reports regarding individuals going door to door claiming that they work for Connecticut Light & Power, the company reminds customers that: — CL&P representatives do not solicit door to door. — CL&P representatives always carry company-issued, photo identification badges. If the individual claims to be from CL&P, ask to see their photo identification badge. — While you will need to provide your CL&P account number to switch energy suppliers, you do not need to show or give your electric bill or any utility bill to a third party - there is a great deal of personal information on your bill and identity theft is a major problem. If you are approached by anyone claiming to be from Connecticut Light & Power and asking to see your utility bill, contact your local police. You can also file a report with the Consumer Services Section of the Connecticut Department of Public Utility Control by calling 1-800-3824586.

Census update
To the editor: The 2010 Census is winding down, and as the Complete Count Committee Chair for Berlin, I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has supported and participated in this great effort. However, there are still several quality assurance operations that will continue to take place this month, and I encourage you to cooperate with census workers should they call or visit your household. These final steps will ensure the census will provide the highest quality data possible – information that will benefit our community and the nation for the next 10 years. If you have already responded to the census, why are you being contacted again? A census worker may call if the Census Bureau has difficulty reading or otherwise needs to clarify your
answers. Census workers may visit if your household was incorrectly marked as unoccupied on April 1. You may receive a visit if your address was not included in the mail-back phase or in the door-to-door follow-up phase. If you filled out a Be Counted form or provided your answers over the phone, a census worker may visit to confirm that the geographic location of your home matches an address in the Census Bureau’s files. Finally, census workers may be in your area to resolve any suspected duplicate addresses. Please keep in mind that the Census Bureau’s quality assurance operations will affect a small percentage of the total number of households counted in the 2010 Census. As always, individual responses are completely confidential, protected, and cannot be shared with anyone. All Census Bureau employees are required to swear an

oath for life to protect your personal information. Please cooperate if a census worker calls or visits your household as part of the final stages of the 2010 Census. This has been the largest domestic undertaking of the American people, and now is the time to make sure the data we all rely on is as accurate as possible. It’s in our hands. Antoinette W. Pajor, Community Services Director Berlin Complete Count Committee Chair-Census 2010

I’ve created a page on the popular networking site to pay homage to the Berlin Cine 1 & 2 theater formerly located in the Webster Square Shopping Plaza. I just felt that this is a forgotten part of Berlin’s past which merits recognition. The place opened as a family business, in November 1969, by Bernard and Seymore Menchel. Berlin Cine 1 & 2 holds the distinction of being the first automated movie theater brought to Connecticut. For 28 years the business thrived and remained active despite the opening of a 12 screen Showcase Cinemas right across the street in 1991. Long before the advent of video, cell phones and computers, for every kid in Berlin who grew up here in the late 60s through the 80s, this place represents the main core of entertainment that was available to the youth and yes, the adults here, as well. Many 30 and 40 somethings have said to me this place played such a See Theater, next page

Money for roads and bridges is on the way Funding for two local road projects as well as for the Town Aid Road (TAR) and Local Capital Improvement (LoCIP) programs that will benefit Berlin, New Britain and Farmington were approved when the State Bond Commission held a special meeting Aug. 17, according to state Senator Donald DeFronzo (D-6) and the New Britain, Berlin and Farmington legislative delegations. “These projects represent priorities set by the legislature and the Department of Transportation that are now coming to fruition,” said DeFronzo, who serves as cochair of the Transportation Committee and of the General Bonding Subcommittee. “These represent important investments in our infrastructure and provide a means to accomplish necessary repairs and improvements without impacting municipal budgets.” Included on the Bond Commission agenda is: $52,600 for planning and engineering costs associated with replacement of the Farmington Avenue bridge over the Mattabesset River in Berlin. The total cost of the project is $525,000, with $420,000 be-

Everyday I walk by the old Sherwood Tool building and admire how it’s being transformed and reused. Then I walk by the old Kensington Grammar School. I look at it and think, why can’t they restore it and use it for the police station? It seems to have lots of room, even enough for extra town offices, if needed. We have enough empty buildings already – the old Kensington Furniture store, the half finished eyesore in front of the Kensington Fire Department and the old Saturn building. Let’s use some of what’s empty – we don’t need more eyesores in town. Mary Jane Mason Kensington

To the editor: Thank you for your informative article about the “Homelessness is for the Birds,” project in last week’s Citizen. The birdhouse dis-
ing provided by the federal government. The first installment of TAR grants for the current fiscal year, which will provide $191,085 for New Britain, $83,659 for Berlin and $93,649 for Farmington. TAR grants are used to help maintain local streets and roads. For the 2010–2011 Fiscal Year, New Britain is slated to receive a total of $880,681 in LoCIP, while Berlin is slated to receive $128,158 and Farmington is slated to receive $137,955. LoCIP funds are used to reimburse of actual infrastructure improvement expenditures, including projects at public parks, sidewalks, road reconstruction and resurfacing, sewers and public buildings. “Maintaining local road and infrastructure project work is important for our towns, and I am pleased the State Bond Commission has approved this funding,” Representative Joe Aresimowicz (D-30) said. “It also comes at a critical time when our towns are fighting to minimize property taxes.” (Submitted by state Sen. Donald DeFronzo’s office.)

Readers might be interested in seeing other one of a kind houses also on display in Berlin at: Sharon Elizabeth’s Florist, Aardvark Framing, Bethany Covenant Church and the display cabinet in the Berlin Town Hall, right outside the tax collectors office. There are more to be seen in New Britain at Leaves and Pages Bookshop and Café, The Arts Alliance and New Britain Visitors Center and One Liberty Square office building. All of these wonderful birdhouses will be brought to Trinity on Main in New Britain on Thursday, Sept. 23 from 4 to 6 p.m. for the grand opening of the Arch Street Housing Project. Some of the birdhouses will be auctioned and some will be sold at fixed prices with all the proceeds being used to directly help the homeless. There will be special refreshments and a Tweet Boutique with bird related items in time for holiday giving. I encourage the
public to come see and purchase one of these special birdhouses and support our effort to help the homeless. Evelyn Anderson Berlin
Fun games To the editor: It was refreshing to see a 12 year and under Little League team from the Town of Berlin play baseball and have fun while still winning games. The manager and coaches are to be congratulated for making the Little League baseball experience for the kids something they will never forget for the rest of their lives. These youngsters played in the Farmington Lindquist Tournament, which consisted of approximately 20 teams from surrounding towns. The Berlin team record was 10-0 and they won the tourney. Amazing job of 14 kids and four coaches. I congratulate Manager, Dave DeGroff and coaches, Bob DeFrancesco, Bill Pajor and Bob McKinnon for the way they approached the game of baseball played by

After the theater suffered water and smoke damage following the Woolworth’s fire in April 1997, the theater was closed for repairs. Any hopes of re-opening the theater were dashed on the evening of Aug. 29, 1998 when vandals broke into the establishment and caused so much damage, the owners had no choice but to close the theater permanently. Since then, the bulding has remained dormant. It saddens me to see that building boarded up and long forgotten by the town it

Defending champs ready to take the field By Nick Carroll The Berlin Citizen
The champs head back to work next week. The Berlin High School football team, the defending CIAC Class M and Central Connecticut Conference Division III champions, kick off their 2010 season Monday, Aug. 23. The only piece of equipment players are allowed to wear during the first five days of practice — conditioning week — is a helmet. After that, the pads go on and the contact begins. Heading into a season as a defending state champion is a first for the BHS football team. Redcoat coach John Capodice said it’s a “relief ” to have finally brought a state title to town. However, the accomplishment has done nothing to lessen his competitive drive, or that of his coaching staff. “It’s critical. It’s professional development,” Capodice said of the long hours the BHS coaches put in during the off-season. “We have to meet the expectations of the program. And to do

I think the coaches realize that.” BHS coaches meet sporadically throughout the off-season to discuss the team and the upcoming campaign. They keep in close contact with the Berlin Bears youth
Boys of summer The Hartford County Jays, an independent youth baseball team made up of Berlin players, competed in two invitational tournaments recently. The Jays traveled to Barkhamsted for a month-long U12 tournament and also competed in the West Hartford U12 tournament.

football program, as well. Also, BHS coaches attend college football practices, and clinics, all in the hopes of giving the Redcoats a competitive edge. Capodice and his staff don’t mind working overtime for their team, but not
all high school football programs have that type of commitment at the top. “Only the better programs, the teams you see playing in the playoffs,” said Capodice. Of course, BHS football players work hard during the off-season as well. During
the summer, players attend camps, and lift and run as a team three days a week. Redcoat football players used to participate in a summer passing league, but Capodice, who urges his players to have interests outside of football, pulled the plug on that. “I felt it was too much for kids,” he said. The seventh-year coach likes his guys to play other sports, and many of them do. “You only go to high school one time,” said Capodice. “We want them to do other things; not just football.” Some high school football coaches feel differently, however. “I’m sure there are (coaches who push a footballonly mentality),” said Capodice, who played three sports at BHS in the 1980s. “But that’s something we won’t do as long as I’m the head coach at Berlin High School.” This fall the Redcoats will, once again, compete in Division III in the CCC. The division has added Bloomfield and East Catholic, which

Super summer for Berlin golf community By Nick Carroll The Berlin Citizen
Berlin High School alumnus Erica Barnes won the Connecticut State Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Amateur golf tournament, held last week at Oronoque Country Club in Stratford. Barnes defeated her nearest comErica petition, 2008 Barnes Connecticut champion Jen Holland, by three strokes. Barnesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; three-round total was 242. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m so excited about winning the state amateur,â&#x20AC;? said Barnes, 18. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To have my name on the same trophy as golfers like Liz Janangelo and Natalie Sheary is such an honor. After playing golf for so many years it was so much fun to be able to use every-
thing Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve learned in such an important setting.â&#x20AC;? Barnes, who was caddied by her father last week, BHS girls golf coach Jim Barnes, pointed out that Oronoque is a tough course to tame. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You had to hit precision shots on every hole and take whatever the greens gave you,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Course management, chipping and, most of all, putting had to be spot on in order to succeed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This tournament probably gave me the most frustration Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had on a golf course, but also the most fun. Being able to share this with my dad, who caddied for me all three days, makes this experience even more meaningful.â&#x20AC;? Barnes plays for Hofstra University. Last season, as a freshman, she led Hofstra in team scoring average (86.1) and recorded three Top 10 and one Top 5 tournament finish. ***

The ninth annual Stan Trojanowski Northern Junior golf tournament was held last week at Timberlin. In the boys tournament, Suffieldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Andy Mai (5-under) edged Burlingtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Alex DiClemente in a one-hole playoff. Berlinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top finisher was Kevin Jud (8-over, tied for 27th). Greenwichâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Eliza Breed bested the field on the girls side (6-over). Kelly Whaley, of Farmington, was second (10over). Berlinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top finisher was Alyssa Scheyd (25-over, 14th place). The Trojanowski tournament is run by local brothers Brent and Cody Paladino. The eventâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s namesake is the Paladinoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grandfather, who passed away in 2001. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In our opinion, this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tournament was the most successful to date,â&#x20AC;? said Brent Paladino, pointing out that an international field of players converged on Timberlin last week. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Each year we try to add on something new to make the event feel like a PGA Tour event. This year, we constructed a 16 foot wide leader board next to the 18th green that displayed the current scores of the leaders, updated to within a minute. Not only could players and fans track the scores online and via the TV monitors around the course, but the players could stand on the 15th green and know exactly what position they were in. We believe we are one of the only junior events in the country to have such a feature, and it added a lot to the tournament.

The Behavioral Health Research Center at The Hospital of Central Connecticut is looking for participants for two clinical research studies. The purpose of the first medical research study is to learn about an investigational medication that may treat symptoms associated with schizophrenia. In order to participate, volunteers need to choose a family member or friend to support their participation. Qualified participants receive all study-related care (including the investigational medication) at no cost. In addition, compensation for time and travel may also be available. The second study is part of a national medical research study under way for an investigational medication that may treat manic symptoms associated with bipolar disorder. These symptoms may include: Sleeping less than usual but still feeling rested; talking very fast, jumping from one idea to another, having racing thoughts; being impulsive and taking more risks than usual; feeling irritable, agitated, jumpy or wired; feeling restless. Although today’s treatments can be effective, researchers are trying to find safer and better medications. Qualified participants receive study-related care at no cost and may be compensated for their time and travel expenses. For more information on either of these studies, call
the Behavioral Health Research Center at (860)-2245597.
Bereavement support and recovery
The bereavement support and recovery group was formed to support and give an outlet to those who have suffered a severe loss. It meets once a week and also offers phone and email support during other times when you need someone to listen or can be of help to someone. There is no fee and this is not a professional counseling service, but people helping people. All are invited to attend. Meetings are scheduled for Saturdays from 10 to 11:45 a.m. at the Community Center. For more information, contact (860) 836-2112 or www.griefsupportandrecovery.webs.com.
