Town’s bridges to be rehabilitated By Monica Szakacs The Berlin Citizen Berlin has 37 road structures that are assigned a state bridge number. These are structures recognized by the state, but maintained by the municipality. In 2010 the town hired WMC Consulting Engineers, of Newington, to conduct a bridge evaluation survey, according to Public Works Director Arthur Simonian. As a result of the assessment, the Public Works Department replaced an 18-foot span of bridge on Beckley Road in 2011, with inhouse forces at a cost less than $300,000. After the Beckley Road bridge was rehabilitated, the town looked at where maintenance work could be performed on various passages, ranging from removal of vegeta-

tion from the inlet structures where the water enters the culvert, to crack filling of concrete. That work, Simonian said, is being performed “as needed on an ongoing basis by our Highway Department.” Since the 2010 evaluation, the town has identified four additional bridges that are in need of rehabilitation, located on Park Drive, Berlin Street, Farmington Avenue and Spruce Brook Road. Park Drive bridge The Park Drive bridge is a culvert structure, which suffered damage from Storm Irene in August 2011. The debris from the flooding of the storm lodged underneath the corrugated metal pipe and blocked the flow of the water through the culvert. Due See Bridges, page 6

Proposed driving range site conflicts with ordinance By Monica Szakacs The Berlin Citizen

Gov. Malloy visits Berlin to announce beautification grant By Daniel Jackson Special to The Citizen Gov. Dannel Malloy visited Berlin Town Hall July 11 to announce 14 municipalities would receive $5 million in grants to improve the town centers. Berlin will receive $259,000 of the Main Street Investment Fund to make the town center more pedestrian friendly. “This (grant program) is unique in that it builds a working partnership be-

tween state government and the smaller communities that are striving to strengthen their commercial centers and attract additional business,” Malloy said. “I applaud the leadership in Berlin, and in the other 13 towns, for their focus on creating accessible and livable downtowns.” Many of these grants will be used to beautify town centers by adding stonework, improving sidewalks, lining

Ferndale Berry Farm, a pickyour-own blueberry farm on Southington Road. Because of this problem, which came to light in 2010, a new range has been proposed. A site that has been considered by town officials is located between the first hole and the Sam DiPietro Grove/ Majorie Moore Road area of Timberlin Park, which is a heavily wooded area. But an ordinance approved by Berlin voters — 5,348 to 3,037 — in November of 2000, states that “Timberlin Park shall be preserved and maintained for recreational activities other than golf.” A driving range is considered a golf activity.

Police department replaces outdated equipment By Monica Szakacs The Berlin Citizen

At a recent Town Council meeting July 9, the Berlin Police Department requested $67,676 worth of technology that includes laptops, Tasers and a fingerprint scanner. None of the equipment is new to the police department — it needs to be replaced as part of the normal five-year capital improvement plan, according to Deputy Chief John Klett. When suspects and criminals are processed at the department, officers use a Cogent AFIS LiveScan machine for finger and hand prints. The prints are processed in a system that checks for previous criminal records and information in national and state

databases. The current system was obtained through a grant from the Capitol Region Council of Governments in 2006. CRCOG negotiated a price for the new system, with installation, training and first year of maintenance, at a cost of $20,287. The Cogent AFIS LiveScan machine is being replaced because the current one is off-warranty, according to Klett. “It is cheaper in the long run to replace it with the newer model than pay the additional maintenance on the older obsolete model,” Klett said. “We have had a LiveScan machine since 2006.” The department requested 13 less-lethal weapons called Tasers, from Taser International Inc. The company

holds the state of Connecticut contract for this product and the cost of the equipment to the town is $14,999. There are more than one electronic controlled weapon, police Chief Paul Fitzgerald said, but Taser is a brand name and the sole supplier of the product. “Taser holds the state contract, as well as (produces) all of our existing holsters that our officers carry,”’ Fitzgerald said. “If we were to switch (products), then (the holsters) would have to be modified as well.” During the meeting, Mayor Adam Salina asked Fitzgerald what happens with the old Tasers. “Do you turn them in? Do you keep them?” Salina asked. “We will use them as a training aide for a while, but

(the Tasers are) losing their usefulness because it’s an electronic charge,” Fitzgerald said. “I don’t even think Taser wants them back.” Salina jokingly asked if he can have one. “No you can’t,” Fitzgerald laughed. The Tasers are tested every day in the department, Fitzgerald said, and there is

wear-and-tear on the officers’ gun belts because they wear them through shifts. “We have had these since 2005 and they are due for replacement,” said Klett, adding that the Tasers are off-warranty. “We will con-

Former priest’s sentencing postponed By Monica Szakacs The Berlin Citizen

Miller’s home. Miller told police that he knew the boy was 13 and had offered to perform sex acts with the boy, but he never had physical contact with him. Miller was charged with five counts of risk of injury or impairing the morals of a minor and a single count of criminal attempt to obscenity. He was released after posting $150,000 bond and his fist court appearance was scheduled for July 26, 2011. He pled not guilty to all charges. The Berlin Police Department then arrested Miller a second time on June 14, 2012,

on three additional charges: two counts of obscenity, possession of child pornography and 10 counts of risk of injury to a minor. The warrants were issued after analysis on the cellphone and two computers that were confiscated, with Miller’s consent. He was released on a $300,000 bail which was posted by Miller’s order. Miller ministered to the 2,300 regular members of St. Paul’s Parish. He was with St. Paul for five years when the investigation into his case began. Miller also served as chaplain for the

Sentencing for former St. Paul Church priest, Michael Miller, has been postponed for Aug. 15. As part of a plea bargain, he faces five years in prison followed by 20 years of probation as a sex offender. Miller, 43, plead guilty May 2 to possession of child pornography, publishing an obscenity and three counts of risk of injury to a minor during a court appearance at New Britain Superior Court. He will no longer function as a priest, according to the Archdiocese of Hartford and his order, the Franciscan Friars Conventual.

Miller was first arrested on July 12, 2011, at St. Francis Hospital in Hartford where he was previously undergoing treatment.

Red Cross offers tips to safely beat the heat By Erin K. Butler Special to The Citizen

Schools are closed, waterfronts are open and summer is officially here. But, sadly, this joyous time of year can turn tragic, quickly. There have already been several deaths reported due to water or heat related injuries. The American Red Cross offers several tips for ensuring a safe and enjoyable season. “We first encourage people to learn how to swim. There are lots of facilities, from municipal pools to your local YMCA, that offer swimming lessons,” said Paul Shipman, spokesperson for the American Red Cross in Connecticut. “Don’t ever think you are too old to learn to swim. It can save a life.” For those who already know how to swim, it’s advised to never swim alone. Using a buddy system can help prevent a tragedy should trouble

arise in the water. Also, it’s best to use water facilities that have lifeguards. Once there, follow the rules and always keep an eye on children. “There is no substitute for watching your own child or those in your care,” Shipman said. “It just takes a second for a child to wander. Seconds count.” At a home pool, adults should practice reach supervision, which means always being within an arm’s reach of a child. It’s also advised to have life-saving equipment on hand, such as a ring to toss to a struggling swimmer, or a pole to reach them. For those spending time on the open water this summer, be sure the boat has enough life jackets and flotation devices for every occupant aboard. Also, it’s advised to be familiar with one’s surroundings. “You need to know the waters, the risks, and if the area is prone to riptides and currents. You should also

know if there are any steep dropoffs, or where it becomes deep, and what type of floor is below the surface,” Shipman said. Dressing for the heat is crucial during these scorching summer days. Light-colored clothing will help reflect the light. Wearing a hat helps the body stay cool, as well. But the best advice is to stay out of the heat all together if possible. “People should really avoid the outside, mid-day,” Shipman said. “Seek places with air conditioning such as the library, a shopping mall, and the movies. If you are in a place with no AC, stay in the lower floor or, in extreme heat, contact your town hall for a list of cooling stations that may be available in your town.” The elderly and young are particularly vulnerable to heat-related emergencies, so it’s advised to check on neighbors during times of extreme heat. In potential heat emergencies, look for extremes in the af-

flicted. “A person might feel cool or moist. They might look pale or flushed. Other symptoms include headache, nausea, and dizziness,” Shipman said. “Get them to a cool area and give them small sips of cool water. If symptoms worsen or can’t be controlled, call for medical help.” As the temperature rises, don’t forget about the well-being of pets. While it may sound like a fun idea to bring the dog along on an errand run, pets are safer at home. “It takes very little time for the temperature to skyrocket inside a car. Leaving a window cracked is not enough,” Shipman said. From people to pets, all it takes is a little preparedness and awareness to fully enjoy all the summer season has to offer. For more tips on summertime safely, including water and heat related emergencies, visit redcross. org.

to the blockage, water flowed over the roadway on Park Drive and caused damage to some down street properties. The flooding also created a 3feet-wide by 500-foot-stretch trench into the side of the roadway, which the town rebuilt. “The bridge itself needs to be replaced because of the damage to the culvert and we are upgrading the size of it to handle a 50-year storm event that the current state codes require.” A consultant was hired by the town and is now in the process of finalizing the construction plans. The project, Simonian said, will “hopefully go out to bid sometime late this summer.” Since the damage was due to Storm Irene, Simonian said, FEMA will fund 75 percent of the project and the rest will be by the town. The Park Drive bridge was installed in 1955. Berlin Street bridge The Berlin Street bridge is a culvert structure that crosses Berlin Street by Redwood

Lane. The bridge is a fieldstone abutment wall with steel beams and concrete that takes storm water from the south to the north side of Berlin Street. According to Simonian, the culvert has “deteriorated quite significantly over the last five years.” Three years ago one section of the fieldstone abutment wall had collapsed and the town installed a steel plate over the top of the roadway to help support that section. “This project will actually replace the entire structure with new metal piping that will span the entire length and be able to handle a 50year storm event as well,” Simonian said. “That is in the design phase right now and we plan on going to construction this summer with the highway crews.” The town hired WMC Consulting Engineers to begin the desing work and permitting for the bridge. The Berlin Street bridge was built in 1930. It handles 4,500 vehicles per day. It’s 12 feet long. Farmington Avenue bridge

The Farmington Avenue bridge structure was deemed in poor condition by the state Department of Transportation. “It was actually rated insufficient and it was on the state’s list for bridge structures that need to be rehabili-

tated or replaced,” Simonian said. The town hired WMC Consulting Engineers to begin the design work and permitting for the bridge, which Simonian said will take two

years to complete. “We are not exactly sure yet what kind of bridge we will put in its place, but it will be a full replacement,” he said.

roads with trees and installing features to slow traffic, increase beauty and promote walking. In Berlin, the grant will be used to improve Deming Park at the intersection of Main Street and Kensington Road, and improve Main Street between Kensington Road and Farmington Avenue by adding granite bump-outs to slow traffic and installing decorative crosswalks and a median. State Sen. Terry Gerratana, who represents Berlin, said the town has moved from an agrarianbased community and now it’s beginning a new transition. “The future of Berlin is not a bedroom community,” she said. “It goes beyond that.” She said the Town of Berlin has used government to improve the quality of life for the community. By focusing on the infrastructure, the town will increase pedestrian traffic around the Berlin train station and, in turn, attract business to the community. Mayor Adam Salina said cities like New Britain and Middletown have downtowns where business can concentrate. Berlin, like the rest of Connecticut, uses an old infrastructure of buildings, sewer and water mains. For over 10 years, the town has tried to revitalize the area around the train station. The Malloy administration has made the state’s infrastructure a priority. “I believe Connecticut underinvested in its infrastructure, underinvested in its communities,” Malloy said. State Rep. Joe Arecimowicz, Berlin’s representative and House Majority Leader, said the Malloy administration and the Town of Berlin share the same interests in infrastructure improvement and revitalization. “We have a partner in Hartford,” he said. Salina said the shared pri-

orities make it easier for the town to receive grant money from the state. While the town has worked on the revitalization of the downtown for over 10 years, Salina said the town has received more support from the state in the last two and a half years from the Malloy administration. Malloy, in an interview with The Berlin Citizen, praised Salina’s leadership in the town, saying the mayor has accomplished a lot for the community. “I think Berlin is a community on the move, which has great potential,” he said, “and actually, the whole leadership team, the town manager, the economic development director — everybody, and I’ve been involved in education issues — everybody seems to be pulling in the same direction. That doesn’t always happen.” When asked what would happen if Malloy lost the upcoming election, Salina hoped the state would support Berlin’s projects into the future. “It would be a shame to see all this hard work put on the back burner,” he said.

Do as they please

To the editor: The month of July is a time when Americans celebrate our freedoms. This freedom brings with it many responsibilities, one of which is the right to vote. We then expect our elected officials to listen to our vote. I recently attended a Town Council meeting to speak during the audience of citizens and heard the mayor and fellow democrats express joy as the town attorney explained they had overruled the High School Referendum (public vote). We the voters of Berlin set a definite budget for our high school renovation project through that referendum. Our current leaders clearly stated at informational meet-

ings that the project could be completed with the bond limit set by referendum. Regardless of how they raise the money needed, they have ignored the clear message from the voters. The leaders of Berlin definitely do not care what the voters want. They will do as they please because they can. Charles Paonessa Berlin

Commentary

Save lives and drive safe this summer By Officer Robert Canto I would like to provide the community with some summer tips while driving. July is here and as the summer heat kicks in, many of you will be traveling to beaches and taking road trips to fun and exciting places before the kids go back to school. Remember to take frequent breaks and rest your eyes. Relaxing every 20 minutes will make you a more alert driver. Fatigue is a preventable cause of accidents during the year. Traveling to vacation sights can be fun and exciting, but requires more attention to the road. There may be road construction that you are

not aware of or hidden driveways with vehicles entering or exiting. While cruising at highway speeds, remember to give yourself enough room to stop. A good rule of thumb is to give yourself a two seconds distance from the vehicle in front of you. Average perception reaction time for a healthy adult during the day is 1.6 seconds. What that means is it takes 1.6 seconds from the time your eyes see a threat on the road to your body reacting. At 60 miles per hour you will travel approximately 140 feet before your foot hits the break. By

Commentary

Dewey? In teens’ section, now we don’t! By Helen Aveline The fiction section in the young adult department is now a genre-based collection. What does the word genre mean? A genre is simply a fancy name for a group of books which share style, form, or content. For example, books that have characters who may have special powers, magic, talking animals, mythical beings, or are set in a medieval universe, are some of the typical elements of fantasy books. So now our teen department looks a lot more like a bookstore than a traditional library. If you like mystery

Open Book books, you can come in to the library, walk to the mystery shelves and find all of our mystery books in the same place. They are still in alphabetical order by the author’s last name, like a regular library, but they are also shelved by genre. Color coded signs and labels will point out the various sections. Other genres we are using are teen life, sports, historical literature, action/adven-

ture, paranormal, fantasy/sci-fi, romance/relationships and classics. So why are we doing this? For several reasons, actually. Reorganizing young adult resources in a bookstore fashion is meant to help patrons ease of use within the library and alleviate confusion by using words and signage that are relatable and easily understood. Statistics are showing that around 75percent of patrons come into the library to browse. Genre shelving creates a browsing atmosphere by keeping all resources with the same theme together. Also, research shows that

teens are more likely to check out a book if they find what they are looking for in a relatively quick manner. Many of them spend 10 or 15 minutes in the library and are frustrated if they have to go to a card catalog and get the number. They are embarrassed to ask for help. This Dewey-free system takes out the middle man. We are also hoping to learn which genres are most popular with teens to support our purchasing policy, as well as increasing our circulation to justify those buying patterns. It was especially important for us to complete this

project this summer with the high school renovations taking place. Teens will be able to find their pleasure reading here, and find it easily, while their school library is being rebuilt. So, with our reorganized collection, a coffee machine, comfortable chairs and a chess table, you may think you’ve entered Barnes and Noble. But it’s just us, even better! See you at the library. Helen Aveline is library director of the Berlin-Peck Memorial Library. Aveline is a guest columnist for The Berlin Citizen and can be reached at haveline@town. berlin.ct.us.

The men on the monument Part 2: Irish immigrants, prison camps and ‘swamp fever’ By Sallie Caliandri

Six men who died within two months of each other in 1862 had certain aspects in common. They all claimed Berlin as their home, and more specifically, Kensington. Many had ties to the Kensington Congregational Church, and some of them were related. James L. Bailey may not have been related that we know of, but he worked for Anner Gladden as a hired man in 1860. Anner’s late husband, Jedidiah, was probably related to others in the Gladden family. James was the first Berlin soldier to die in battle Aug. 9, 1862, at Cedar Mountain, Va. Leverett Gladding and George Horton were friends, and George was present when Leverett died from swamp fever (possibly malaria) on Aug. 8, 1862. They were both members of the 9th CT Volunteers, stationed in New Orleans. Leverett had lived on what we now call Gladding Place, in a house no longer standing, while George lived in the same vicinity. Henry Allen’s family also lived nearby, according to the 1860 census. He was in a different regi-

ment, the 6th CVI, and both would follow Leverett to the grave in October. George Horton also died of disease Oct. 22, 1862, also in New Orleans, while Henry died trying to blow up a bridge at the Battle of Pocataligo in South Carolina. The Allen/Allyn/Alling family is interwoven into several old Berlin families, including the Cole and Upson families who also had sons in the military. George’s mother, Emeline Williams, was probably connected to the Gideon Williams family who lived on the corner of Kensington Road and Norton Road. John Leverett Kent also lived in Kensington. He was a mechanic, living with his wife, Matilda, and son, Leverett. I have no proof (yet), but I have to think that with a name like Leverett in common, there might have been a relationship between John and the Gladden/Gladwin/Gladding family. John died at Antietam on Sept. 17, 1862. Birdsey Judson Beckley was born in 1841, and was named for his maternal aunt’s first husband. He was orphaned as a small child. His mother’s sister, Emeline

Roberts, adopted him and married as her second husband, Samuel Langdon. They lived in the area of Grove Hill and Farmington Avenue in Kensington. Birdsey was a direct descendant of Richard Beckley, Berlin’s first settler. He enlisted in the 14th CVI in August of 1862, saw action at Antietam just one month later, and was promoted to Corporal less than three weeks later. He died at Fredericksburg, Va., Dec. 13, 1862. He is buried in West Lane Cemetery with his adoptive parents. Not all of the Kensington men who fought for the union were native born sons. Richard Ringwood was born in Ireland around 1825. He came to America some time before 1850, probably to escape the potato famine, when he appears in Berlin renting a home in South Kensington with his wife Catharine, son James, and mother Margaret. A map drawn in 1855 shows them living at the corner of Edgewood Road and Orchard Road. By 1860, Richard and Catharine are in the same location, but are now property owners. Richard became a U.S. Citi-

zen in 1855, and enlisted in the 14th CVI in August of 1862. This regiment fought at Gettysburg, so it is likely that he saw action there. He was captured in Virginia in May of 1864, and died of diarrhea in Andersonville on Aug. 25, 1864. He is buried at Andersonville. His son, James, also born in Ireland ca. 1846, enlisted in the same regiment. He was killed at Cold Harbor, Va., June 7, 1864. Catherine

Ringwood received pensions for her dual loss. She remained in Berlin for a time as she is still found on an 1868 map of Berlin at the same location, and again in the 1870 census. She died in 1873 and is buried in St. Patrick’s Cemetery in Meriden. Did any of these young men live in your back yard? Sallie Caliandri is a member of the Berlin Historical Society.

oped land within Timberlin Park from golf course expansion – “believed the expansion of Timberlin Golf Course, while simultaneously destroying the forested areas within Timberlin Park, was not the majority opinion of Berlin’s citizens. Consequently, we pursued an initiative and referendum,” he said during the audience of citizens. “With a voter turnout of 71 percent, “An Ordinance to Preserve Timberlin Park” was overwhelmingly approved by a margin of 2 to 1.” “Timberlin Park means all town-owned land in Timberlin Park not presently used for golf course functions,” the ordinance states. “This includes the town-owned land north of and including the access road that runs east to west from the Chamberlin Highway to the Timberlin Golf Course parking lot; the San DiPietro Grove area, including Majorie Moore Road; the picnic pavilion area; and all undeveloped town-owned land surrounding DiPietro Grove.” Zaneski, who has served as a member of the Berlin Open Space Committee, an Inland Wetlands commissioner and cochairman of the Timberlin Coalition, asked council

members if the public should pursue another initiative and referendum to protect a previously established ordinance. The Timberlin Park ordinance came about back in 2000 when there was a proposal to construct an additional nine holes, according to Town Manager Denise McNair. “That was going to span over a larger acreage,” McNair said. “I think there was quite a bit of concern with where it was going to be because there is a watershed, and the chemicals that are used on golf courses and lawns could run off into the watershed. That was an environmental concern. Whether that’s relative or not, I don’t know at this point in time.” “We are certainly cognize of the ordinance, and we’re trying not to violate it, we just haven’t gotten very far,” she added. “The high school has been taking precedence to be quite honest.” Timberlin Golf Course has already contracted architects Stephen Kay and Doug Smith, from a New Jersey/New York based firm, to run a feasible study and a site analysis. But McNair said the town is still in the process of reviewing sites, proposals and the ordinance. “It hasn’t been determined yet whether the new propos-

al, or any proposal for the new driving range, will move forward or not,” McNair said. Zuk previously told The Berlin Citizen in April that the current driving range, which has six stations, has been in operation since the golf course opened in 1970, making the range 43-yearsold. During Berlin High School golf practices, Zuk said, the range becomes crowded. On average, the range generates $16,000 to $20,000 of revenue annually.

A new driving range with 20 stations has the potential to increase the annual revenue to $85,000, while also increasing the number of golfers who can practice at the same time. “The architect that we contracted with is currently doing trajectories and looking at different scenario, such as if we can expand the driving range in its current location,” McNair said. “We are trying to get an interpretation and figure out how to satisfy everybody, even

though I don’t think that’s possible. We’re not trying to ignore the residents and the ordinance. Things take time to investigate and there are so many different interests that have to be addressed.” “What’s a driving force for the range is that we are aware of traveling golf balls to the property on Southington Road,” she added. “We are looking at different solutions such as netting, but I’m not sure if that would completely solve the problem.”

want to consider during the summer is having a good quality pair of sunglasses. Sunglasses are not just fashion accessories — it helps prevent eye fatigue. Polarized sunglasses will help with sun glare that reflects off windows on buildings and other vehicles. Due to the sun’s low angle, sunlight glare at dawn and dusk can be blinding. During the summer thunderstorms, be prepared for the rain with windshield wiper blades in good working order. Wiper blades should be changed at least once a year just like the batteries in your smoke detectors. During a rain storm is not the time to realize that it’s time for new ones. Remember to also check

your tires for the proper air pressure. With summer the air will expand and could possibly cause your tires to be over inflated. This will cause an uneven wear on the treads making them wear out faster and affect the handling of the vehicle. If you have pets or children, please don’t leave them in your vehicle for any length of time. During the summer months deadly temperatures inside your vehicle can escalate over 100 degrees in a matter of minutes. Thank you for your co-operation and remember to please Buckle-up.

Post 68 doesn’t go down without a fight By Jim Bransfield Special to The Citizen Sea level. That’s where Berlin’s American Legion team found itself at the conclusion of its regular season. The club was 12-12 in Zone 3 and 15-15 overall; the definition of sea level. That might be good enough for a fifth place finish in the zone, thus a berth in the state playoffs that open this weekend. But coach Rob Manzo said that his team’s record just might fall short. “We’re in trouble,” he said. “East Haddam and Guilford [the two teams with which Berlin is competing for the fifth spot] hold tiebreakers over us. East Haddam has two games left and they could finish tied with or ahead of us. Guilford is 10-11 and has two games with Westbrook so if they finish with 12 wins, they beat us on the tiebreaker.” Cheshire won the zone, Middletown finished a solid second and Meriden came in third. So Berlin, Guilford and East Haddam are all competing for the fourth and fifth spots. “We played a lot of very young kids and our pitching staff had really no experi-

ence at the varsity or Legion level before this season,” Manzo said. “So while the expectations are high in Berlin, I thought our season was successful. We got a couple of big wins, including one over Cheshire and one over Middletown, and we developed some young players that will serve as our core moving forward.” Manzo, who has won a state and regional championship, said that Taylor Luciani became his team’s No. 1 pitcher, high school freshman Andrew Charbonneau has grown into the job — he beat Middletown — and that Kyle Wollman and Hunter Tralli, reliever, improved and contributed as the season developed. “We threw these guys out there and watched them develop,” Manzo said. “Luciani played for Cory Carlson at Northwest Catholic, but didn’t pitch. He developed before our eyes. The younger kids are still developing, but improved all season long. I’m not kidding myself, we still need a couple more arms to contend for a zone championship, but we have a core.” Manzo also said that shortstop Tralli played well as did Alec Norton, who played

Berlin’s Hunter Tralli puts a tag on Wallingford’s Philip Perrino June 19. both third and second. “I can’t say enough about our veterans who played hard every day,” Manzo said. “Colin King, Jeff Sylvester, Dante Vasi and Jordan Zima gave us everything all season. Zima did a lot of catching both in high school and for us and did a nice job.” At the end of the day, whether or not the “Baseball Gods” allow Berlin one of those up-for-grabs playoff

spots, Manzo liked what he saw. “Our record is better than I thought it would be,” he said. “We improved throughout the year and are on the right track. We’re going to have a tough time making the playoffs, but you never know. I think the kids learned a lot about baseball at this level and maybe learned a few life lessons along the way.” The state Legion playoffs

The survivors of those two rounds — there will be four in each section — will play the second place finishers on Monday. The winner of the Monday games will play the zone champions on Tuesday. The four survivors in each of the two sections of that marathon will go to Torrington and Stamford for three to four days of double elimination play and the two winners of that will play a best-ofthree series for the state title. The state champion will advance to the Northeast Regional at Middletown’s Palmer Field on Aug. 8. The Connecticut champion will play the New Hampshire state champion at 4:30 p.m. on opening day. That game will be followed by the game between the Maine state champion and host team Middletown (24-8-1 overall; 17-6 in Zone 3). The winner of the regional, which runs through Aug. 12, will advance to the Legion World Series in Shelby, N.C.

Zach Hrubiec had 3 hits, including 2 doubles, Mark Addamo also tallied 3 hits, and Camden Murphy and Nick Melville added 2 hits apiece as Berlin bested Yalesville. Also coming through at the plate for the victors were Justin Piskorski, Ben Plaag, Connor Gileau and Patrick Lukens. Mark Addamo earned the victory on the mound. Melville, Murphy and Piskorski cleaned up in relief.

11-year-old All-Stars Berlin 13, Edgewood 9: Berlin was led by a gutsy pitching performance from Tyler Lappe, who tossed a complete game and made several clutch defensive plays from the mound. The victors tallied 12 hits. Tommy Hyjek led the way with 3 hits. Kevin Dunn, Timothy Heinke and Jeff Kuzoian had 2 hits apiece. Berlin 13, Wallingford 2: Berlin’s Zach Murray cracked a solo home run to start the third, putting his team ahead 3-1. With the bases loaded in the fifth, Timothy Heinke belted a grand slam to make it 7-2. The hits continued, with Berlin adding 4 more runs in the stanza.

Berlin 6, Southington South 2: Game-winner Alex Halkias went 4 and 2/3 innings, allowing just 1 earned run. Jeff Kuzoian came in to pitch the final 1 and 1/3 innings. Daniel Veleas and Halkias powered Berlin at the plate, each driving in 2 runs apiece. Berlin 17, Yalesville 0 (4 innings): Berlin started the scoring early, plating 4 runs in the first inning.

The locals brought the hammer down in the fourth, scoring 9 times. Alex Halkias blasted a 3run homer in that decisive frame. Halkias and Tommy Hyjek finished with 3 hits apiece and drove in multiple runs. Tyler Lappe, Jeff Kuzoian, Tyler Tralli and Dunn also had multiple RBI.

Game-winner Lappe held Yalesville to 3 hits in 3 and 2/3 innings of work. Hyjek solidified the shutout. Berlin 14, Plainville 4 (5 innings): Berlin pitchers Tommy Hyjek and Kevin Dunn combined to hold Plainville to 6 hits. Dunn contributed offensively as well, tallying 3 hits, in-

cluding his second home run of the tournament. Zach Murray, Tyler Lappe, Daniel Veleas, and Hyjek also had multi-hit games for the victors. Timothy Heinke, Jeff Kuzoian and Adam Bilinsky also came through at the plate for Berlin.

Peter Czepiga Peter Czepiga recently received the Eagle Scout Award, the highest rank awarded by the Boy Scouts of America. Before achieving this rank, Czepiga had to complete an Eagle Scout Service Project, which is the opportunity for a Scout to demonstrate leadership of others while performing a project for the benefit of a religious institution, school, or the community. Czepiga’s Eagle Project involved blazing a 1/4-mile hiking trail, part of the Blue Blazed Hiking trail system, which Czepiga is part of the Connecticut Forest and Park Association’s hiking trails. His work included organizing volunteers and, using pick mattocks, rakes, shovels and hoes, cleared, side-hilled, leveled and marked the new hiking trail. In addition to scouting, Czepiga competed in soccer, track and varsity football, and is an experienced snow boarder.

Commentary

Shake, rattle and roll By Glenn Richter

Is it just me, or have events taken a turn toward the retro in the past weeks or so? First we learned that Uncle Sam, for whatever reason, has decided it’s time to start digging around again in the odd hope of finally finding the remains of Jimmy Hoffa, the Teamsters union leader who disappeared in 1975 from a diner where he was having a little chat with alleged Mafia figures Anthony “Tony Jack” Giacalone and Anthony “Tony Pro” Provenzano. The FBI found nothing, so the mystery remains: Was the body dumped at Giants Stadium? No. Was it fed to alli-

gators in the Everglades? We may never know. Then it was reported that portly Kim Jong Un (grandson of North Korea’s Great Leader Kim Il Sung and son of Dear Leader Kim Jong Il, so let’s call him the Great Big Leader) has given his inner-circle toadies and bootlickers copies of “Mein Kampf,” an inspiring book by that other great leader, Herr Hitler. The title means “my struggle,” but it’s not clear exactly what Mr. Kim is struggling with, except that he’s clearly losing the battle of the bulge. Closer to home, plans have been revealed for glamorous new train depots in Meriden, Berlin and Wallingford that may dispel,

once and for all, the funky, threadbare, rattletrap image that rail transportation in this zone has always had. Well, maybe not always, but at least for the past half century, during which ownership of the same shabby rolling stock, trundling along at a leisurely pace on the same rusty rails — and the same gloomy stations, with baggage rooms that probably haven’t been used since Eisenhower was in the White House — passed from the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad Co. to Penn Central and then to some newfangled thing called Amtrak. OK, maybe it’s just Yrs Trly who’s going all retro, but here’s a scene I remem-

ber from the early 1960s: After visiting relatives here, a couple from England were in the waiting room at the Berlin station, on their way back to New York, when a large chip of custard-colored paint, having hung on to the ceiling for as many years as it could, finally let go, landing on the lady’s head. Nice first impression of America. But at least there was a waiting room. And benches. And steam radiators that made that banging noise that steam radiators always seem to make. Oh, and restrooms. Nothing fancy, but there they were. And that’s what’s so brilliant about the current $647.3 million plan to up-

grade rail service between Springfield and New Haven: No bathrooms, so no bathrooms to clean; no ticket window, so nobody on the payroll to staff it; maybe no benches; and certainly no radiators, because, as it turns out, there’s actually no waiting room at all. These new “stations,” it turns out, will be “boarding platforms” only, with kiosks to sell tickets. They may look like buildings, but there won’t be much to keep the icy wind from blowing right through them. None of the stations will have restrooms, said John Bernick, the project manager for the rail line. And who can argue with that? Without an attendant — without somebody right there and “in charge” — any public

Messy Fun Submitted by Emily Gontarz

The Berlin-Peck Memorial Library was the place to be recently for some Messy Fun. Messy Fun was one of the library’s first hands on summer activities for the Dig into Reading Campaign. Several children in first through third grades worked together tearing up old, used paper and UPcycling it into a new useful, seed paper book mark. Seed paper is handmade paper that has real flower seeds embedded in the pulp itself and is plantable.

P a u l Czepiga, Brendan Daly and Carmine Perri, of the elder law and estate plan- Czepiga Daly Perri ning law firm CzepigaDaly, have all been honored as Connecticut Super Lawyers for 2013 by Super Lawyers Magazine. They were all previously named Super Lawyers in 2011 and 2012. The three attorneys were singled out as Super Lawyers in the Elder Law practice area. Only five percent of the attorneys in the state are chosen for this special distinction. The magazine’s selection process begins with peer nominations of outstanding lawyers who have attained a high degree of peer recognition and professional achievement in their area of practice. Nominations are followed by independent research and peer evaluations of each attorney. Perri was additionally recognized as a “Rising Star,” lawyers under the age of 40 or who have been in practice for 10 years or less and are chosen as a result of surveys completed by recently recognized Super Lawyers. While up to five percent of Connecticut lawyers are named to Super Lawyers, no more than 2.5 percent are named to the Rising Stars list. Czepiga lives in Kensington with his wife, Kim, and their four children.

Tis the season for horsefly bites By Suzanne Helm Horseflies slice open your skin with their mandibles and then drink your blood. They are attracted to dark colors and shiny surfaces with contrasts, moisture and carbon dioxide. So if you are a pool-goer or weekender by the water, and wonder if the season is particularly bad this year, the answer is yes and no. It’s only that you and the water provide all that horseflies need to thrive. If you swim at the East Berlin Pool these insects also live and breed in the marshy areas that surround the pool there.

Shake

If bitten, clean with antibacterial soap or spray, and use a hot compress or your own saliva to spot treat the newly bitten area, as it has histatin proteins which are healers, hence why dogs lick their cuts and yours. If the swelling does not go away in a few days and pus is present, see a doctor as it may have infected you with a parasite or a bigger bacterial count than your body can fight. To prevent bites make sure to use swim shirts, DEET, flytraps and, believe it or not, taking garlic supplements. The odor your body will give off from the garlic to the flies may keep them at bay. Farmers even add garlic granules to their horse feed to keep horseflies from pestering the horses.

bridge is a fieldstone abutment wall structure with steel beams, which has deteriorated due to erosion of the underlying drainage structure. However, Simonian said, the roadway was enforced with a concrete structure slab in 1970, so there are no concerns about the roadway structure holding up. “The underlying structure, underneath where the water travels through, is starting to deteriorate quite rapidly so that is scheduled to be replaced. We just hired a consultant (Milone & MacBroom, Inc., of Cheshire) for that project.” There is a historical component to this bridge — it’s on the national registry for historic places. The former Simon North Mill Factory was located just north of the bridge. “Part of the bridge’s abut-

As conditions deteriorate further we’ll do minor repairs if we need to, to make sure the structure stays open.” The Farmington Avenue bridge was built in 1928. It handles 6800 vehicles per day.
