ference of Municipalities. According to Public Works head Arthur Simonian, the neighboring towns of Newington and Plainville are also considering updating their street lights. Simonian said the council will look into both lease and buy options for street lights and poles.
LED lights consume significantly less power than traditional street lights, and power savings could be even higher, as the high-tech lights will allow fine-tuned control using a computer system that will be able to customize and schedule brightness levels for each light. LED lights
also have significantly lower maintained costs, Simonian said. The town would be responsible for the maintenance and repair of the street lights. For example, if a car accident destroyed a street light, the See Lights / Page 2
Mail carriers battle tough conditions in winter By Charles Kreutzkamp The Berlin Citizen
An inscription on the James Farley Post Office in New York City reads, “Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds.” While the United States Postal Service has no official motto, and deliveries are sometimes canceled in unsafe weather conditions, postal workers do contend with difficult challenges in the winter. New Britain Postmaster Raymond Hearn, who oversees the postal workers delivering mail to Berlin, asked in a press release for residents to “clear their mailboxes and walkways of snow and ice,” because some carriers have suffered injuries from slipping on ice. “The best way to avoid injuries is prevention,” Hearn said. “Please help our letter carriers provide the best service they can as safely as possible.” Meriden resident Henry Henaire worked for USPS for 33 years, starting in 1973. “This time of year there’s always a lack of consideration,” Henaire See Carriers / Page 2

High schoolers bringing the Jazz Age to stage By Charles Kreutzkamp The Berlin Citizen
Student performers at Berlin High School are saying this year’s musical will be a family-friendly crowdpleaser. Students are performing the 1920’s-era themed Thoroughly Modern Millie, with jazzy tunes and flashy costumes.
“We’ve both been doing it since middle school,” said Ally Schulz, who is co-starring with Skyler Korn. Schulz’s character “is from Kansas and she comes to New York to experience a new, more modern way of life,” Korn said. The character believes “a woman gets married for reason over romance, so she is looking to find a
boss to marry, to marry into money,” Schulz said, but then her character finds “love in a poor boy.” “I just love getting up there and singing in front of everyone, it’s energizing,” Korn said. “The night of the show you’re so nervous before, but once you get out there it all goes See Jazz / Page 3

said, recalling the challenges of making deliveries in bad weather. Henaire, who now works in the mailroom at The Record-Journal in Meriden, was once put out of work for three months with a broken ankle, though he doesn’t think residents were at fault at the time, as the snow had just started coming down. “There are lots of slips and falls when people don’t shovel their sidewalks and stairs.” “Those are tough days,” said Scot Siarkowski, a mail carrier in Southington. “We gotta walk on the street. They’re not getting their mail if they don’t shovel out, (or) we can’t get to the house. We’ll just hold it for them at the post office to pick up, or we deliver when it’s cleared.” Current carriers such as Siarkowski are given ice grippers to help avoid injuries, but snow piled high on both sides of the street often carries with it challenges in finding a place to park safely. At times, Siarkowski parks on side streets and does some additional walking. As The Record-Journal reported, many of the Southingoton mail trucks are 30

cut the sorting time and the carriers now have longer routes. The decline in use of traditional mail due to email and texting hasn’t lightened the carriers’ loads; it just increases route sizes. Hearn requested customers clear enough snow from curbside boxes to allow mail trucks to approach and deliver safely. For packages, walkways and stairs should be cleared, in good repair, and allow for traction. Sand and salt can help keep these areas safe not only for carriers but for “other visitors,” Hearn said. Snow carries with it special challenges, but mail carriers also face other hurdles, one of the most well-known being aggressive dogs. Henaire was never bit in his 33 years of service, but some of his colleagues were. All mail carriers are required to carry dog spray for defense, but Henaire also took to carrying dog biscuits. The treats could go far in befriending canines. Being introduced to dogs by their owners could also make a huge difference, Henaire recalled.
years old and aren’t the best for snow. They are light, have rear-wheel drive and don’t always track well. After years of driving in the winter, the drivers learn how to navigate. Southington Postmaster James R. St. Pierre said Siarkowski is a loyal and dedicated worker in a job where folks don’t get a lot of thanks. “This is a physically demanding job,” St. Pierre said. “After seven hours of climbing snowbanks and in and out of trucks, they come back beat. I have a great crew.” About 10 to 15 years ago, carriers spent more time in the office sorting mail for deRecord-Journal staff conlivery. But automation has tributed to this report.

which the light would likely be repaired by a contractor. One lease option being considered would save the town money over the course of the next four to five years. According to Simonian, the rates look reasonable and the town would retain the option of purchasing the lights and poles, outright, in the future. The town will be doing a cost analysis comparing the lease and buy options. The conversion to LED street lights would affect 2,544 street lights in town, including those owned by Eversource. The town will only consider purchasing lights and poles that do not have other utilities connected to them. Parking lot lights are not being considered in this proposal, Simonian explained. Technology is also available to one day upgrade the lights into WiFi hotspots at a
low cost per light, Simonian said, something that other area towns are also considering. More infrastructure would be needed for a townwide WiFi network, however. In other business, the council unanimously voted to move to the next step toward a total roof replacement at Mary E. Griswold School. The council has not yet approved funding of the project, and a public hearing is scheduled for March 3 at 6:45 p.m. The Board of Education approved a statement of needs on the project in March 2014. Sections of the roof are 26 and 23 years old. The proposed appropriation is $1,530,000, based on preliminary drawings. If approved, the town will seek approval from the state to replace the roof this summer, and will seek partial state reimbursement at 42.86 percent.

Learn the ‘Bear Reality’ at library By Charles Kreutzkamp
300 hours reaching more than 5,800 people with programs in Connecticut, Massachussets, New York, Vermont and New Hampshire. “It’s not just black bears that fascinates me,” Ortner said. “I have a strong admiration for all bear species worldwide.” Black bears, however, are a particular area of expertise as the only bear in Connecticut and the most numerous of the species in North America. Bears have a complicated pop culture reputation, according to Ortner, demonized by some while also being made into cuddly toys and “renowned and legendary characters. Both of these interpretations can cause difficulties for bears.”
Ortner seeks to promote better understanding of these “intelligent and captivating, beautiful creatures,” as “an informed tolerance” will help people understand how to co-exist safely with these animals. The Berlin Land Trust is bringing the event to the library because of recent reports of bears in the area. “We thought it would be an item of interest for homeowners,” especially those who live near some of the town’s open spaces, said Tom Heisler. Heisler said the presentation will help residents understand bears better, and learn some practical tips about how to keep trash and bear-proof birdfeeders. No registration is necessary for the event.

Dr. William A. Wolf KENSINGTON — Dr. William A. Wolf passed away on Tuesday, Feb. 17, 2015. Dr. William A. Wolf, 85, of Kensington, was born Oct. 22, 1929, just as the stock m a r k e t crashed and the Great Depression commenced, a pure coincidence. He was the first child of William E. A. Wolf and Linnea Bengtson Wolf of New Britain. A graduate of New Britain High School, 1947, and Upsala College, 1951, he served in the U.S. Marine Corps for two years during the Korean War. He then enrolled at the Baltimore College of Dental Surgery, receiving his DDS degree in 1958. Bill began his dental practice in New Britain, that year, retiring officially on Dec. 31, 1999. Along the way, he enjoyed a full and fulfilling life. In 1955, he met Diane Lundell, and even before a formal date, he told her he would marry her the following year. She laughed, he pursued, and they were united in marriage in August of 1956. He is survived by his wife and four children, William and wife, Mary, of Charleston, S.C., Erica and husband Dave McKenzie, of Kensington, Carolyn and husband, Frank Sataline, of
Robert W. Payanis LOWELL, Mass. — Robert (Bob) W. Payanis, 58, passed away suddenly on Thursday, Feb. 12, 2015. He was born on April 14, 1956, in New Britain, Conn., and grew up in Berlin and Kensington. Bob attended Berlin High School and H. C. Wilcox Technical High School in Meriden, and was a member of the U.S. Army from
Farmington, and Ellen and partner, Robin Boislard, of Niantic. He also leaves behind six devoted granddaughters, Jessica and Amanda McKenzie, Jennifer Sataline Brown and husband, Michael Brown, Kathryn Sataline, and Mary Grace and Lily Wolf. He also leaves his brother, Roger and wife, Joanne; and Roger’s sons, Eric, Jeffrey, and Greg. Bill’s brother Robert died in 1979 and is survived by his wife, Carol and their children, Gretchen and Bob. He also leaves behind a cousin, David Bengtson, his wife, Liz, and their children, Sarah, Peter, and John David. Bill also leaves behind Marl Jackson, who was like a son to him. Bill was a lifelong member of First Lutheran Church in New Britain, where his grandfather was a founding member in the late 1800s. A former New Britain Rotarian, he also belonged to local state and national dental societies. Bill was very much an athlete, pitching his softball team to many championships, from church teams to college teams to U.S. Marine Corps championships at Camp Pendleton, Calif., the Baltimore graduate school champs, and for the New Britain Dental Society. He and his family enjoyed skiing at many of New England’s great ski areas. Water skiing was recreation, but golf was a passion. As a longtime member of Shuttle
Meadow Country Club, he and his special foursome tagged the “Rover Boys” played on Wednesdays and some weekends for over forty years (he won a few tournaments and conceded his hole-in-one was a lucky, happy fluke). For the past 20 years, he enjoyed his home in Eastham, on Cape Cod, where family and friends were always welcome, and all came to love the Cape. He visited and enjoyed travel to other parts of the world but his greatest pleasures were local with family and wonderful friends. Sunday afternoon Discussion Group was a highlight. Five o’clock was his favorite part of many days. He left the world having lived to make it a better place than when he entered it. The family is grateful for the loving care he received during his final months as Cromwell’s Apple Rehab. The staff made a difficult time feel like a home away from home. A memorial service with military honors was held Saturday, Feb. 21, at First Lutheran Church, 77 Franklin Square, New Britain. Those who wish to make a memorial contribution, may consider First Lutheran Church in New Britain or Wounded Warriors, PO Box 758517, Topeka, KS 66675.

1976 to 1993. He was extremely creative, artistic and mechanical, with a huge love of motorcycles (which he was known to rebuild in any given living room if a garage wasn’t available!) Bob loved all animals, from his parrot Peter, who he had for more than 20 years, to any stray dog that needed a home and love. Bob is survived by his father, William; his mother, Ada; his brother, Bill;
his sister, Barbara; brother-in-law Joe; niece, Aubrey Mae; as well as many aunts, uncles; and cousins. Burial will take place Saturday, March 21, at 11 a.m. Connecticut State Veterans Cemetery, 317 Bow Lane, Middletown. Donations can be made in Memory of Bob to: Hope House Addiction Services, 8 Farnham St., Boston, MA. 02119. Attention: Fred Newton.

report corruption by calling 1-800-CALL-FBI. “This is the FBI fulfilling their mission,” said Gerratana. “The state can take steps as well.” Gerratana said the committee’s proposed bill would address inconsistencies in ethical codes in Connecticut towns, and address enforcement issues. “I think it is an appropriate piece of legislation that would go a long way to address any improprieties,” said Gerratana. “There has been incident after incident at the municipal level with lack of enforcement or lack of understanding.” Gerratana supports “having one standard,” though the legislator was quick to say she is not “pointing fingers at any municipalities.” The best approach, Gerratana said, is education and prevention. The Connecticut Council of Small Towns submitted a statement for the public hearing on the bill calling the measure “well-intentioned” but “seriously flawed.” COST notes that public officials are volunteers who often “work tirelessly – nights, weekends, and holidays— on behalf of the communities they serve.” COST objected to the law overriding codes of ethics towns themselves have drafted at their own time and expense, with the input and involvement of their communities. COST argues the bill will require burdensome reporting and record-keeping “at a time when local budgets are already strained.” Carol Carson, Executive Director of the Office of State Ethics, said in testimony on the bill that the main purpose of the bill is to create a universal ethics code that will allow enforcement of ethics violations to be placed under state authority within the jurisdiction of the OSE.

Sports Mat men settle for sixth By Nate Brown The Berlin Citizen
The Berlin High School wrestling team took home sixth place at the Class M state championships, held at Jonathan Law High School on Friday and Saturday. The team scored 125 points, finishing just behind New Fairfield (fifth place; 126 points) and New London (fourth; 127.5). Berlin was led by Jeremy Eliades, who finished second in the 170 pound weight class. The senior fell to Austin Caffrey of Killingly by a 12-5 decision in the finals.
Berlin’s Nick Arborio (106), Vin Biscoglio (195) and Zach Veleas (138) finished third in their respective classes. All three fell in their semifinal matchups to the eventual champs. Arborio won his final bout with a 17-1 decision, while Veleas (3-2 decision) and Biscoglio (4-2) won much closer tilts. Berlin’s Drew Mals (126) and Zach Pampuro (152) took home sixth place finishes. Mals fell in a third-round matchup to the eventual state runner-up and in a consolation matchup to the
eventual fourth-place finisher. The senior was bested 53 seconds into his match for fifth place. Pampuro dropped his third-round matchup before falling to the eventual fourth-place finisher in a consolation matchup. Pampuro was bested 8-0 by Tyler Burlinson of New Fairfield – the same wrestler to knock him out of the championship bracket – in their match for fifth place. Berlin’s six placewinners will compete in the State Open this weekend at Floyd Little Athletic Center in New Haven.

Needing a near-perfect final week of play to qualify for postseason play, the Redcoats fell short to end their season at 6-14. Following a 1-1 start to its week (a 67-56 loss to a rather difficult Middletown team and a close 50-45 win over Bulkeley), Berlin lost in an elimination game to Newington, 53-48 in overtime. Tied at 44 heading into overtime, Newington’s Nick Guadarrama hit two free throws with under a minute remaining in the extra period to give the Indians an insurmountable lead. Berlin was outscored 17-13 in the fourth frame to send the game to extra time. P rior to Newington’s fourth-quarter comeback, the Redcoats had held leads of 10-9, 22-21, and 31-27 after the first, second, and third quarters. Senior Dominic Nuzzo led the way with 12 points for the Redcoats while seniors Danny Garofalo and Adam Litwinko added 10 and nine points, respectively. Junior See Notes / Page 13

Notes From Page 12
Jake McCarthy scored six for the locals. From there, looking to claim the final rivalry game of the year and end their season on a positive note, the Redcoats, once again came up short, falling to Plainville 50-32. Outscored 8-5 in the first quarter, the Redcoats couldn’t chip away at the Blue Devil advantage, as it steadily grew throughout the contest. Nuzzo led the way for Berlin with nine points. Garofalo added eight. Litwinko scored five points. Three other seniors – Sikander Nizami, Derek Yoder and Landon Murphy – joined their fellow upperclassmen in the scoring column in the final game of their high school careers.
The Berlin High School cheerleaders competed recently at the CheerFest Cheer & Dance Competition at Watertown High School. The Lady Redcoats placed second in the All-Girl Varsity Division. Pictured are fliers Briana Gorneault, left, and Erica Veley. | Matt Leidemer / For The Citizen

5-1 second period. The boys weren’t done, as they added two third-frame goals for good measure. Marco DiPaola scored a remarkable five goals in the contest. Dante Gugliotti and Paul Ciarcia added two goals each and Luca DiPaola and Aaron Lassen each scored one. Criniti needed only 11 saves to record the victory. His backup, David Mix, also saw some ice time, recording four saves. The Indians sit in fourth place in the Division II standings with two games remaining before the CCC Tournament begins.

bounced back nicely to finish the week 1-1 and improve to 13-5 on the season. Newington-Berlin-Manchester suffered its first loss since Jan. 17, to Conard, in a 3-0 defeat. After falling behind 2-0 in the second frame, the Indians struggled to strike in the third, instead giving up another goal to the Chieftains. Berlin’s Cam Criniti made 19 saves in the contest. Next, NBM exacted revenge on an unsuspecting Hall-Southington team in an 11-2 rout. Using four first-period goals to take a 4-1 advantage, the Indians poured it on their opponents with a

Domino came to FOBAC as a tiny kitten with his three siblings. He had poor motor skills and would fall when he tried to run, causing him to be introverted and overly cautious. He has been diagnosed with cerebellar hypoplasia, a neurological condition caused by an underdeveloped cerebellum (most likely due to his mother having a viral infection while pregnant.) CH cats are known for their “drunken sailor” walk. He is 5 months old and in search of a loving, understanding home. Boo is a social, fun-loving 1-year-old boy that probably will always be a kitten at heart. He’s always in on the action and sometimes gets frisky.
