A busy night for the council

By Charles Kreutzkamp The Berlin Citizen

It was a busy meeting July 1 when the Town Council approved a lease on a new snowplow truck, heard a presentation regarding Berlin’s new membership in the Capitol Region Council of Governments, and discussed the status of tax sales before referring properties to Planning and Zoning for a recommendation as to whether they would be good purchases for Open Space.

Following a public hearing on the truck, the council approved the lease of a 2015 International 7400 series truck with a stainless steel four-season dump body and Monroe plow.

The lease is costing no more than $56,446.63 per year.

Councilor David Evans raised concerns that it would be cheaper to buy a truck outright rather than leasing.

Deputy Mayor Rasmussen responded that the reason the truck was leased

rather than purchased was to keep the mill rate as low as possible, and that interest rates are currently very low.

Director of Finance Jim Wren said that costs are being kept down by paying on the interest up front.

“Unfortunately, we need the truck now … I am not a fan of spending money on interest but I think, unfortunately, we are in between a rock and a hard place,” said Councilor Charles Paonessa, who stated that he is experienced with trucks (Paonessa works in the contracting industry) and that it can be difficult to predict what is going to break. A breakdown could set the town back far more than what it is paying in interest, Paonessa said.

As of July 1, Berlin is an official member of the Capitol Region Council of Governments (CRCOG).

CRCOG Executive Director Lyle Wray gave a presentation to the council regarding some of the benefits of joining CRCOG. See Council / Page 6

A pretty sweet fund-raiser

By Charles Kreutzkamp

cal 5-year-old who rode in a horse and carriage escorted by fire engines on Princess Six Hubbard Elementary Leah Day, Jan. 11 of this year, School students raised $68 as part of a Make-A-Wish for the “Love for Leah” fund event.

“Leah goes to my school with a lemonade stand last weekend. The stand, located and we kind of thought it at the corner of Cobblestone would be a good idea to do Road and Brownstone Road, something,” Ryan McGowan, charged 75 cents for a cup of who is going into sixth grade, fruit punch or lemonade, and said. “The kids in the neighborhood thought it was a donated all the proceeds.

It started to cool off towards evening, according to Ryan.

“It was truly the kids’ idea,” said Ryan’s father, Joe McGowan, who thanked the generous neighbors who supported the lemonade stand.

Ryan said he thought patrons liked the idea of kids helping another kid for charity.

Some who stopped by gave donations to the fund directly rather than buying lemonade, Ryan said.

The Town of Berlin Public Works Department is scheduled to replace a drainage culvert which carries Stockings Brook beneath Park Drive adjacent to 100 Park Dr. The work is necessitated due to damage that was inflicted upon the culvert during Tropical Storm Irene. Replacement of this culvert will require road blocks to be placed both east and west of Stockings Brook adjacent to 100

Park Dr. Detour signs will be posted accordingly to direct motorists around the construction activities.

The road block was to be established Monday, July 7.

Contract specifications require the work to be completed within 120 calendar days. The work will be performed by contracted forces.

Hot summer reads

By Charles Kreutzkamp The Berlin Citizen

“The Fault in Our Stars,” a wildly popular story about teenagers battling cancer, is a hot title at the Berlin-Peck Memorial Library this summer, according to Head of Adult Services Carrie Tyszka.

The rising popularity of Young Adult novels among adults is apparent at the Berlin-Peck, where many of the popular books this year are in the YA genre. According to Forbes, “a 2012 Bowker Market Research study suggested 55% of YA books are bought by people 18 and older.”

“The movie is out now and the book is more popular than ever. Actually, anything by John Green flies off the shelves these days,” Tyszka said. “The Fault in Our Stars” was inspired by author Green’s experiences as a hospital Chaplain and by his interactions with Esther See Library / Page 14 Earl, a young woman who

was a fan of Green’s novels to whom the book is dedicated. The cancer Earl suffered from is very similar to that of Green’s protagonist, Hazel Grace Lancaster, who falls in love with a charismatic young cancer survivor, Augustus Waters, due to their shared obsession with a fictional novel.

According to Jennifer Needham, head of children’s and teen services, “the books in the I Survived series by Lauren Tarshis almost immediately leave our shelves as soon as they are returned.

Each title in the series tells an adventurous tale based on a true historical event, as told through the eyes of a boy who survived to tell the story.

They are recommended for children ages eight and up, and are particularly popular with boys.”

Any books related to LEGOs are also wildly popular this year, Needham said.

Also popular among teens

and adults is “Fangirl” by Rainbow Rowell, a comingof-age tale about an obsessed fan of a fictional book series going through her first year of college.

“Other very popular titles are ‘All the Light we Cannot See’ by Doerr, ‘The Vacationers’ by Straub, ‘Hurricane Sisters’ by Frank, ‘Mr. Mercedes’ by Stephen King and ‘Matchmaker’ by Hillerbrand,” Tyszka said.

Needham gave a “special mention” to “Wonder” by R.J. Palacio. “It is just one of those special books that makes you both laugh and cry and, ultimately, it just finds its way into your heart and won’t budge. It’s as popular with the adults as it is with the kids,” according to Needham.

“Wonder” is a book about August Pullman, a 5th grader with a rare craniofacial deformity, following his struggle to live an ordinary life.

Council this is very exciting, Wray said.

Rasmussen thanked Wray for the presentation. “We look forward to working with you,” he said.

The council forwarded a list of 12 properties which Attorney Adam Cohen, who the town previously hired to perform tax sales for the town, identified as not worth going forward with a sale. Some of these properties abut town property or neighboring properties, and the council forwarded the list to the Planning and Zoning Committee to hear its recommendation for what value, if any, the properties may have to the town, so the town could consider purchasing them as Open Space.

Attorney Robert Weber explained that acquiring the property through tax sale remains advantageous to the town over acquiring the property through foreclosure, be- Vincent LaPollo standing outside of Kensington Grammar School as demolition begins, cause the cost of foreclosure holding a photo of his first grade class taken in 1958 when school was still held in the building. | Vincent LaPollo / Submitted

CRCOG can provide Berlin with the Nutmeg Network, a fast broadband connection that could save money for the town, as well as paperless office technology and enterprise financial software.

CRCOG can also assist and save money with the bidding process.

CRCOG tries very hard to find ways to save municipalities money through efficient collaboration, Wray explained. “This year we saved over $400,000 for our towns,” Wray said, for example, through collaborative bidding on trash collection services.

One of Wray’s pet projects is the online permitting system, which can be very exciting for tradespersons, according to Wray, as it can allow applications for permits – for example, a permit to build a deck – to be done online. For contractors who may have to visit city hall frequently for permit requests,

Born in Newark N.J., a son of the late Herbert Alton and Hortense (Murch) Owen, Dick was a graduate of Leonia High School, where he was captain of his football team. He was in the V-12 Marine program at Colgate University and served active duty from 1942 to 1946 and again from 1950 to 1952.

He spent time at Parris Island, Camp Lejeune, Quantico, and the San Diego Sea School. Dick was aboard the USS Cabot and USS St. Paul with the 2nd Marine Division from 1950 to 1952.

Dick was a partner in Royal Tire Service, retired from Uniroyal, and later retired from Connecticut Tire.

He loved golf, fishing, boating, tennis, hunting in the Adirondacks, vacations

in Cape Cod and Aruba, the New York Giants, the Boston Red Sox and the UCONN Huskies. But most of all, he loved being with his family. He was affectionately called Bompie by his grandchildren and many others.

The family would like to thank the staff on Ramage 4 at The Masonic Home for the love and care shown him the last 2 years.

He is survived by a son, Richard Owen Jr., and the love of his life, Debbie Leidemer, of New Britain; a daughter, Cynthia Oppelt, and her husband, Tom, of Wallingford; several grandchildren; and many nieces and nephews. Besides his wife, Dick was predeceased by a daughter, Christy Owen; two brothers, Alton and Jack Owen; and one sister, Anne Nangle.

Funeral services were held on Wednesday July 9, at 11 a.m. at the First Baptist Church, 114 North Main Street, Wallingford, CT 06492 Donations may be made in his memory to The First Baptist Church of Wallingford.

Commentary Ensuring that people with Power of Attorney have the power that they need and deserve

By Paul T. Czepiga Our state legislators had it within their power to make sure that people who have legitimately attained Power of Attorney (POA) have their power recognized by all entities with which they conduct business. But our Connecticut state legislators failed to make it happen. They did not successfully fight for the passage of Raised Bill No. 5215, An Act Concerning Adoption of the Connecticut Power of Attorney.

Why was this bill needed?

It would have united the spirit of the law with the letter of the law. People are granted POAs because they have been deemed to have the full, total and complete trust by people

who need their assistance.

But too often third parties, especially financial institutions, don’t accept POAs. As a result POAs often are forced to jump through hoops to get important matters taken care of in a timely fashion.

Here’s an example of what frequently now happens to POAs in Connecticut: A son who is a trusted family member holds the POA for a disabled parent. He tries to use the POA for the first time at a bank by asking the teller to make a withdrawal from the parent’s account to pay a legitimate bill for the parent.

The bank teller, not knowing the son making the withdrawal request, is leery of honoring an old piece of paper (the POA) and either de-

nies the request or makes the POA jump through hoops before the bank honors the POA. These hoops may include asking the son to return to the attorney’s office that drafted the POA to get the attorney to certify in writing that the POA is still valid and has not been revoked; or having the son get his parent to sign a new POA on the bank’s own form. The latter often is not feasible if the parent no longer possesses the requisite mental capacity to sign a legal document.

To avoid these types of runarounds, back in 2003 and again in 2004, bills were introduced in the Connecticut Legislature to mandate that financial institutions honor

a POA unless the institution had express knowledge of its revocation. The Banking Committee killed the bill each of those two years.

Connecticut last successfully tinkered with its POA laws in May 1990 when it added health care decision-making authority, and again in 2006 when it removed health care decision-making (replacing health care with something called a “health-care representative”).

If signed into law this year, Bill No. 5215 (An Act Concerning Adoption of the Connecticut Power of Attorney), would have clarified under which specific circumstances a financial institution would be allowed to refuse the POA as well as how to determine a

POA’s proper revocation.

The Act is a “uniform act,” which means that it was drafted by a team of volunteer attorneys from around the nation as a public service.

The uniform act version can be adopted by state legislatures if so desired. Fifteen states have adopted the uniform act version to date. In addition, the bill before our state legislature was vetted by, and had the approval of, the Connecticut Bar Association with the support of its Elder Law and Estates and Probate committees.

Our state needs to join the ranks of the other 15 states, which have had the wisdom to give the holders of a Power of Attorney the power they deserve.

Police station may ultimately prove too costly

By Charles R. Paonessa Tax Payers of Berlin: In the next few months you will be asked to support the building of a new police station on Farmington Avenue. This is an important decision and will affect your tax payments for years to come. All of us that live in Berlin want a safe com-

munity and understand the police need a place to work.

That being said, each and every tax payer should pay close attention to the total cost of the project being proposed by some of our town leaders. The cost to live in Berlin will be impacted by the cost of the high school project (which will hit our tax bills next year), and our

water and sewer bills will increase by 10 to 30 percent each year over the next few years. These items are already unavoidable, so you must be sure that you feel this is the right time for our town to take on more debt.

As a member of the Town Council, I need your input on such an important matter. It is not too late to make

your wishes known, and I assure you some of us on the council will listen.

Pay close attention to information Paonessa provided by our town officials. Look at the cost of the land acquisition and clean-up of the polluted site.

A driveway at the cost of $500,000 is part of this plan.

Estimates of around $15 to 20 million have been talked about, but even as a member of the Town Council, nobody seems to be able (or willing)

to offer a realistic total cost to the tax payer. Meanwhile, money is being spent in a “piecemeal” fashion on this project so at some point, the people in control of the town government can say “We’ve invested so much that we can’t quit now.”

Write letters to your local paper, come to council meetings and commission meetings and express your views in the Audience of Citizens, or call your council members.

Please tell us what you would like to see happen.

FUTURE STARS ON DISPLAY

By Jim Bransfield Special to The Citizen

The Berlin High School Lady Redcoats, along with the Parks and Recreation Department, held the Lady Redcoat Basketball Clinic recently. Nearly 70 girls attended and played in three different leagues: A-10, AAU, and WNBA. The final day of festivities was filled with the hot shot and foul shooting competitions and championship games, as well as an award ceremony at McGee Middle School. | Submitted

District 5 All-Stars start strong 9/10 year old All-Stars Berlin 14, Southington North 11: Berlin opened District 5 pool play against host Southington North at Memorial Field in Southington, besting its western foes in a back and forth affair.

After four innings of trading the lead with their counterparts, the Berlin squad got its offense in gear with an eightrun fifth inning.

Berlin began the onslaught with a perfectly executed bunt single by Marino Fanelli, and capped things off with great base running by Alex Canzellarini. Jon D’Amore powered the offense, blasting a home run, a double and a single. David Manafort scored three times and Sal Dastoli and Kyle Hyde both plated twice, while Casey Ouellette produced three

RBIs. Defensively, Dastoli provided a solid effort on the mound lasting deep into the game.

Garrett Fallon came in for relief to help extinguish a late Southington rally.

Berlin 6, Yalesville 3: In Berlin’s next outing, the squad found itself in a pitcher’s duel against Yalesville, ultimately coming away victorious.

Berlin’s David Manafort and Yalesville’s Joe Amarone both yielded runs in the first inning, with Yalesville scraping together one unearned run and the Berlin crew two runs on two hits.

Following three impressive scoreless frames by both pitchers, Yalesville took a 3-2 lead in the top of the fifth.

Once again, Berlin’s bats came alive late in the contest.

Sal Dastoli started a four-run rally with a double, and was soon joined on base by Kyle Hyde, Casey Ouelette, Jon D’Amore, and Garrett Fallon.

Sam D’Addabbo capped off the offensive outburst with a

two-run single.

Southpaw James Ellis took the mound for Berlin to close the door, and shut down the Yalesville sluggers with help from defensive stalwarts Kyle Carlone, Manafort and Hyde.

For the third year in a row, Timberlin was the site for the Ryan Lee Junior Open, a Since the passing of a local tournament to honor the Berlegend of the links, Ryan Lee, lin High School alumnus who more than three years ago, passed away in April of 2011 Timberlin Golf Course has after being struck by a car done its part to make sure the while away at college. memory of the young man never fades.

After a couple of seasons wandering in the American Legion Baseball hinterlands, the Berlin Legion team is putting together a solid, competitive season. Early last week, Post 68 actually led Zone 3 in the games-lost column at 10-2. But a loss to Cheshire, losing three of four to zone leader Middletown, then three of four to Meriden over the weekend, knocked Rob Manzo’s team out of contention for the zone title.

Berlin salvaged the final game of the Middletown series 2-0 July 3 behind Taylor Luciani at Sage Park, keeping Berlin in the race until its lost weekend with Meriden. The Silver City Club won three of four, including a Sunday doubleheader sweep.

At 12-9, Berlin will likely qualify for the postseason, but it will be in the one-anddone phase that begins July 20.

The zone winner sits and waits for 32 other teams -- 40 teams qualify for the postseason, five from each zone -- to get down to eight teams.

Then those one-and-done survivors must beat a rested zone champion in a best-ofthree series to advance.

Still, the season represents significant progress.

“We have a lot of guys returning from last season,” said Manzo. “We have a lot of second and third year players. They are starting to get it, starting to understand what the program is all about. We have kids who know what’s going on.”

According to the revenue collector, David Kluczwski, many of the properties in question are likely to have little value, as some are wetlands and others are contaminated. Some property owners reached through the tax sale said they were glad to be rid of their worthless property and the tax obligations attached to them, Kluczwski said.

The council has not taken action regarding any of these properties. Actions taken, if any, will be determined after hearing the report from Planning and Zoning.

“We do everything that we can – the Lee family and the Timberlin staff – to make it extra special, and I think that’s why we get the turnout we do is because the juniors from all over the state feel it’s a special tournament and want to participate,” Bayram said. “(Ryan) exemplified junior golf, and it was a shame he was taken away from us at such a young age, but I do know the family just wants to keep his memory strong and keep going with this event and make it better and better

Both champs were behind on the back nine before storming back to take home their respective honors.

The victory’s for Forauer and Kemmling were made extra special thanks to another local golf star.

“Brent Paladino, who’s a Berlin resident, runs a tournament called the Northern Junior Championship. He was willing to extend an exemption to the winners of the boys and girls division into his junior tournament, so that was a little something extra to play for, and definitely made the event a little bit better,” Bayram said.

Pets For Adoption Cats for adoption - My name is Gabby and I have a step sister, Isabelle. I am 10 years old, overweight, but I am in good health and I go to the vet every year. I love boxes and I love to watch water being poured in a bowl. I hope to be adopted with my step sister, but, I don’t have too. My step sister Isabelle is 7 years old and in good health and a little more needy than me. We are not used to people and definitely would not get along with others. My owner has been very good to us, but, he has to move soon and we can’t go with him! He feels really bad and just wants to find a good home where we can be happy.

Pictures are available.

Good home only. Paul 860-471-3496 email: pchester516@comcast. net
