Local Muslims seek to serve humanity, be a voice of moderation By Charles Kreutzkamp The Berlin Citizen
For Berlin resident Dr. Reza Mansoor, his faith is a large source of inspiration that pushed him to consider a career in medicine. One translation of a verse that the Hartford Hospital cardiologist said inspired his interest in medicine reads, “To save a life would be as great a virtue as to save all of mankind.” Mansoor is not alone in taking inspiration from his religion, Islam. According to Cornell University, 42.7 See Muslims / Page 8
Recent college graduate to embark on 1,500-mile walk through Southeast Asia By Charles Kreutzkamp The Berlin Citizen
A local college graduate is planning an epic journey of four months and 1,500 miles, on foot, to raise money and awareness for charity. The walk will take Berlin native Brian Ford across Vietnam, Cambodia, and Thailand. The adventurer may become just the second person to ever complete such a charity walk in Asia. Ford, a graduate of Xavier High School and Boston College with a degree in biology, grew up in Berlin and plans to go to medical school. When volunteering in Africa, Ford encountered Josh Porteous, an Australian man who left the corporate world in 2012 to dedicate himself to charity work. Porteous now serves as director for The International Brothers and Sisters House, a nonprofit that combats poverty by helping orphans in Southeast Asia make their way through university. Ford said he was blown away when he met Porteous, and the two became friends while working together. “We formed a really tight bond and I was incredibly See Walk / Page 6

The Bakery carries on family tradition The Berlin Citizen
Fans of Sanremo Bakery can rejoice, as Enzo Formica has officially cut the ribbon on “The Bakery” to bring his family’s fresh baked breads and pastries back to Berlin. Mayor Rachel Rochette joined Formica to cut the ribbon last month at the new location, 226 Berlin Turnpike. “I am proud to be opening ‘The Bakery’ to carry on a 32year family tradition,” Formica said in a statement. “My grandfather started Sanremo Bakery in Berlin and passed the business on to my Uncle Santo. Earlier this year, Sanremo Bakery decided to close its retail location on Farmington Avenue in order to concentrate on its growing wholesale business that is focused on high quality fresh baked breads. “I have been working in Sanremo Bakery
all my life so I am taking this opportunity to open ‘The Bakery’ so that residents of Berlin and the Central Connecticut area can again enjoy the bread, turnovers, pastries, pies and other specialty items that they have been purchasing at Sanremo Bakery for these many years.” “Many citizens have commented to me that they missed Sanremo Bakery and wished for a new local retail bakery in Berlin,” Rochette said in a statement. “This is like a holiday present for the town. Not only are we getting a new bakery, but it also has the familiar products that we have enjoyed for many years. I thank Enzo for bringing his family’s special baked goods back to Berlin and I wish The Bakery cuts the ribbon with, from left, Town Manager Denise McNair, owners him great success in his new Christine and Enzo Formica and Mayor Rachel Rochette. venture.” reporter@theberlincitizen.com (203) 317-2448 @Berlin_Citizen

Tavern opens on the right side of the tracks The Berlin Citizen
Things are heating up near Berlin’s Amtrak station, including the grills at Tavern on the Trax, a new business that celebrated its official ribbon cutting Jan. 7. The tavern will be the new location for Craig Lentini, who has experience running a restaurant from two years at Even Stephens just up the road on Farmington Avenue. “I developed quite a following over there and I didn’t feel it was big enough for what I was looking for,” Lentini said. The community has given Lentini “a good reception so far.” As a tavern, the location seeks to walk the line between bar and restaurant. “We try to take it up a notch with our food more than a bar would. We want to be known for our food,” Lentini said. Tavern on the Trax has burgers, nachos, pasta, steak, salads, and more on the menu. Signature dishes include burgers served on an English muffin style bun, spinach salad,
and sausage rigatoni. Lentini said that presentation and attention to detail are both key in putting out memorable dishes. Lentini said he looks forward to the opening of the Hartford Line and the renovation of the train station. Tavern on the Trax is to be the closest restaurant to the train station. The Hartford Line is scheduled to start service late in 2016. “That is going to be a winwin for everyone,” Lentini said. “A lot of commuters will be coming through, and it’s bringing some needed attention to the downtown area. I think I’m situated to be in the right spot at the right time.” The town has greeted Lentini’s renovations at the location Among renovations made to the Farmington Avenue property was this mural, pictured, on 845 Farmington Ave. posi- which employees Jared Calderone, left, and Yizza Galdamez, right, pose in front of with tively, Lentini said. owner Craig Lentini. | Charles Kreutzkamp / The Berlin Citizen

inspired by his vision and his background,” Ford said. “He talks to you and you get chills.” Out of this friendship grew the idea for the trek across Southeast Asia to raise funds for IBSH. “When I first met Brian it was in a volunteer house in Tanzania,” Porteous said by email. “We instantly connected, I was on a volunteer journey in its seventh month and Brian had been in the house for over a month. I was in the final stages of registering my charity, IBSH, and formulating plans of how to launch to gain the most ex-

posure as possible – the aim was to drive awareness of global poverty and for what my charity is going to be doing to one day help it.” Porteous originally planned to walk across Australia and Asia himself to raise awareness for IBSH after its launch, but that changed now that he is an expectant father. Porteous said he is excited to see Ford bring this idea to fruition. “Brian’s passion for the walk never wavered and his commitment and courage to plan it, organize it and complete it is something I admire,” Porteous said. “I cannot wait to join him for the first week of the walk be-

fore heading back to Sydney for another charity event.” When planning the walk, Ford found hundreds of accounts of people who have made similar journeys across the U.S. but only one other who completed a charity walk in Asia, U.S. Marine Sgt. Winston Fiore, who raised money for cleft palate surgeries for children in developing countries. Ford said he hopes the novelty of his journey will help bring more awareness to the cause – and more donations to IBSH. Ford will be walking in humid 90 degree weather, camping in the yards of locals who may not speak any English, and will also be meeting kids sponsored by IBSH. The Australian charity can sponsor an orphan through university for the equivalent of about $6,500. Ford has already raised
more than $12,000 of his initial $20,000 goal. He now aims to raise as much as $25,000. “Berlin has been awesome,” Ford said. Many of the donations have been raised locally. “The teenagers being helped are all remarkable kids being put through college at some of the best universities in their respective countries,” Ford said. “Many have been through hell and back (with) family pasts littered with abuse and terrible tragedies, and it’s amazing how they’ve rebounded and turned into incredible kids. These are real kids with real futures being helped through these donations.” Ford said that many people have expressed concern for his safety during his travels, but Southeast Asia is more modern than one might think. For example, Ford expects to have regular access to WiFi in order to update his website’s
blog with posts throughout his journey. For many parts of the trek, Ford also won’t be going it alone. Porteous will join him for the first 100 miles, and another volunteer Ford met while doing volunteer service in Africa, Meg Polkinghorne from Victoria, Australia, will join him for the first 500 miles. A college friend, Connor Homan, will meet Ford in Cambodia or Thailand for 250 miles or so. “Connor is from San Francisco and I went to Boston College with him,” Ford said. “He’s no stranger to the outdoors – he hiked 1,000 miles of the Pacific Crest Trail” this past summer. Ford will fly into Vietnam to begin his journey on Jan. 21.

cut, however, “actively tries to show the true calling of Islam, which is not only to serve humanity but to be a voice of moderation.” According to Mansoor, moderation is an important tenet of his faith. “At all times, a Muslim should be thinking, ‘is this the middle course,’” avoiding extremism while also not becoming too lax in one’s faith, he said. “This comes directly from the life of the prophet,” Mansoor said. After the Islamic prophet Muhammad was forced to leave Mecca and settled in Medina, he drafted the constitution that would govern that community, which included local Jews as well as polytheists. “He formed the constitution of Medina, giving rights to women and to minorities, and this is hardly ever spoken about,” Mansoor said. “Islam is very much a religion that asks you to go out and be part of the community and do service to the community,” Mansoor said.

that Islam is not a religion opposed to free speech. Local Muslims sought to spearhead efforts to hold a memorial service remembering victims of the Sept. 11 attacks on the 10thanniversary, and found their efforts welcomed by other local faith leaders, Mansoor said. The organization also recently posted a statement on its website condemning the attack by gunmen on the offices of the Parisian magazine Charlie Hebdo. “I don’t think we should just blame the media,” for stereotypes of Muslims or the ways violent extremists are sometimes conflated with all Muslims, Mansoor said. “We should try to make a difference in the community and allow people to ask us what Islam represents to us.” One problem is that many people know very little about their Muslim neighbors in American communities. “Not only are we a minority community that is not well understood, we are a relatively new minority community in America,” Mansoor said. “There are extremists in all faith communities, and we have our extremists,” Mansoor said.

Quran asks us to be aware and to serve humanity. That is the way you serve God… (it is) a form a worship.” Local Muslims join members of other faiths to participate regularly in service at soup kitchens, including Mercy Shelter in Hartford and the Friendship Center in New Britain. Local Muslims also participate in Habitat for Humanity’s House of Abraham Program, which brings together Muslims, Jews, and Christians who share Abraham as a common religious figure. Muslims also participate in the Foodshare Walk Against Hunger in Hartford every year. Mansoor said the community has welcomed service from Muslims. For example, the walk accommodates the Muslims’ midday prayer, which falls during the Foodshare program. All three faith leaders participate in an interfaith prayer, followed by the Muslims’ midday prayer, after which the walk goes on. In the media, “you hear that Islam is a violent religion,” Mansoor said, but for him Islam is a religion that condemns violence; he cites a scripture that compares killing a person to “killing all of humanity.” Mansoor also said

see past the fog. Once I stepped into it however, I found a world inside the fog cloaked exterior that was filled with the beauty of light, peace and love. Each action, the crunch of the snow beneath my feet, the soft caress of the breeze through my hair, the waving of the barren tree branches in the distance to the joyful holler as a fisherman made his catch, deepened my experience. How often this is true in my life. When I finally walk through the emotional fog of confusion, anger, doubt and fear, I come to my own light. It is only then that I find what I desire. It is only then that I discover the beauty that was waiting for me. Multimedia Sales Manager– Jim Mizener Advertising Sales – Annemarie Goulet Press Releases – Marsha Pomponio

A thick fog covered the ground as I dressed for a cold, morning walk on the frozen lake. The view outside my bedroom window was not inviting as the trees blew in the gray mist. I made myself a pot of coffee instead. After finally draining the warm liquid from my refilled mug, I added an extra layer of clothing and walked across the street to the water. The blanket of fog, still thick along the roadway had begun to lift in front of me. Ice fishermen dotted the lake view as I slid down the shoreline bank onto the icy surface. Portable chairs were positioned next to sleds piled high with skimmers, chisels, hooks, buckets, extra layers of clothes and thermoses filled with hot drinks. Scattered across the lake were ice augers used to drill 12-inch fishing holes. Wooden tip-ups were placed in each circular opening. As the red flags on the tipups began to spring up, excited fishermen checked for their latest catch. As I walked, cracks of sunlight continued to break wider through the clouds sparkling on the snow-covered lake. Where the snow had melted, a mural of dark webbed lines, bubbles of pure white and fallen branches glistened through the transparent surface. Other than the occasional nod as I passed by a fishing area, I walked in solitude. The silence was understood; we were here to be awed, to experience the wonders before us. In quiet surrender, I gave my worries to the wind. I accepted pleasure from the sunlight dancing on the frozen surface in front of me. Whenever the trees waved from the shoreline, I welcomed their hospitality. I felt secure somehow, even thought I knew that there was only inches of ice between me and the deeper waters below. As I drank my morning coffee and viewed the lake from my kitchen window, I couldn’t

Balanced attack gets BHS girls back to .500 By Nate Brown The Berlin Citizen
In recent games, the Berlin High School girls basketball team has struggled to find its rhythm in the first half, leading to huge deficits and blowout losses. That idea seemed farfetched to those in attendance at Berlin’s home game against Platt on Friday night, as the Lady Redcoats jumped out to a 24-4 lead after just one quarter of play en route to a 51-33 victory. “We haven’t been starting well. We haven’t been coming out ready, so it was a big focus,” said BHS coach Shelia King, whose team improved to 4-4. “So I think we came out really well. I think it was the best half of basketball we’ve played all season.” Alyssa Germano was difficult to stop all night. The senior captain finished with a game-high 16 points and a fast eight points in the first quarter alone. “Alyssa has been our consistent leader, our most consistent player on the court,
and she’s playing with a great amount of confidence right now and she showed she’s one of the best on this team,” King said. Also providing strong numbers for the locals was sophomore Nina D’Amato, whose 12 points helped Germano form Berlin’s one-two punch that Platt (3-6) struggled against. “Nina’s stayed after practice and has been working on a few things and, to her credit, it paid off and that’s what hard work does for you,” King said. Berlin was able to extend its first-quarter advantage even further before the half, as the Redcoats outscored the Panthers 12-9 in the second frame to take a 23-point lead into the locker room. Platt outscored the host team 20-15 in the second half, but Berlin’s deep bench proved to be too much to overcome. “We don’t have a set starting five. Every night it looks different. Every kid has an opportunity; we have 14 kids that are consistently contrib-
uting when they come off the bench, so we just don’t know who’s going to start every night,” King said. “It kind of makes for an exciting season; every kid is on their toes, so we’ll start to gel, and if we can go 14-deep on the bench, that’s a plus for us.” Although not all 14 players scored for Berlin, the offensive firepower from six individuals led to the win over Platt. Aside from Germano and D’Amato, junior Sam Lynes (10 points), sophomore Alyssa Grant (7), senior Abby Underwood (4), and junior Michaela Dehm (2) all contributed in the book, as Berlin drained nine three-pointers on the evening. Senior Samantha Bilinsky, junior Alex Perrone, and freshman Alana Garofalo provided strong defensive efforts to help seal the victory. The W also helped the local girls move back to .500 on the season, after falling below that mark earlier in the week with a 56-38 loss to CCC South Division foe Bristol Eastern.

Ice hockey T h e Ne w i n g t o n - B e r lin-Manchester co-op team played to the tune of a 1-1 record last week to improve to 5-3 on the year. The Indians began their week with a frustrating 4-3 loss at the hands of Northwest Catholic. Despite holding a 1-0 lead after one period, NBM allowed three goals in the second period to let the Indians of West Hartford back into the game before Northwest scored the decisive goal in the final frame. Luca DiPaola, Alex Borselle and Dante Gugliotti all scored for the local co-op squad while Berlin resident Cam Criniti recorded 27 saves. The Indians ended their week on a high note when they defeated Fermi-Enfield-East Granby-Stafford 3-2. After falling behind 1-0 following the first frame, the Indians stormed back with two goals in the second to take the lead for good. Aaron Lassen, Marco DiPaola and Berlin resident Mitch Pitkin all scored for NBM, while Criniti made 24 saves.

wins over East Catholic (659), Ellis Tech (52-27), Daniel Hand (42-25) and Bristol Central (48-27). Five BHS wrestlers finished perfect on the day, including Reilly (16-2 individual record this year) and Biscoglio (154). Joining them with an undefeated day were teammates Nick Arborio (108 pound class; 17-1 on the year), Zach Veleas (140; 13-7), and Jeremy Eliades (170), who is undefeated on the season at 18-0. Josh Veleas and Drew Mals also had strong outings, as they finished 3-1 at the duals to improve to 16-4 and 13-6, respectively.
Senior News deceptive,” BHS coach Dan Thurston said. “The results were two losses, but we look at them as two very positive meets. We had a lot of really close races in each one, and a lot of our younger guys stepped up in those close races, which was really nice to see.” BHS sophomore Kevin Klotz had a strong week, as he finished first overall in both the 100 and 200 meter freestyle races against Hall. Klotz’s finishing times were better than those of his state final times in 2014. Berlin athletes, junior Adrian Wotjun and senior James Sanders, also set personal bests throughout the week. Wotjun set a new personal mark in the 100 breaststroke while Sanders, the team’s top diver, set his new high score in the six-dive format.
