Governor signs minimum-wage increase into law By Monica Szakacs The Berlin Citizen On June 6, Gov. Dannel Malloy signed legislation that increases the minimum wage in two stages over the next two years. Under the new law, minimum wage will increase from $8.25 to $8.70 on Jan. 1, 2014, followed by a second increase on Jan. 1, 2015, to $9, according to a press release from the governor’s office. The last increases occurred in 2010. “This gradual increase over two years is a balanced approach to helping hardworking men and women without adversely impacting the business community. Although I believe our na-
tion as a whole should move in this direction, I also think Connecticut needs to lead the way in helping working families,” Malloy said in a press statement. “We know there is no better way to pull a child out of poverty than to increase the minimum wage.” State Rep. Joseph Aresimowicz, D-Berlin, said it is the state’s responsibility to set the minimum wage as close to a “livable” income as possible and even though “we are not there yet, I think we are taking steps in the right direction.” “When you are having single parents, mothers especially, working at the curSee Wage, page 7

Hollywood actor Austin Stowell returns to Berlin High School By Daniel Jackson Special to The Citizen It was Friday before opening night of the Berlin High School senior production of “Harry’s Hotter at Twilight” and Matthew Recore, advisor for the Drama Club, wanted to kick the energy of students into overdrive. So he invited Hollywood actor and alum of Berlin High School Drama Club, Austin Stowell, to speak to the cast and crew of the play. Stowell has been involved with six feature films, acted in movies with Hollywood heavyweights such as Liam Hemsworth, Ashley Judd and Morgan Freeman, but now, he returned to the Berlin auditorium where he once performed while a student — a place he had not visited since his own senior play, 10 years

New ‘crime lab on wheels’ assists regional officers with DUI enforcement By Monica Szakacs The Berlin Citizen
The Mid-State Chiefs of Police, which includes Berlin, Cromwell, Newington, Rocky Hill and Wethersfield, unveiled its new regional command post vehicle on June 6 at Cromwell police
headquarters. The vehicle will be used by the Mid-State police departments for DUI spot-check enforcement, motor-vehicle accident reconstruction and investigation, and major-crime scene processing, according to Berlin Chief of Police Paul Fitzgerald.
“The beauty of the vehicle is that it will actually bring the materials and the tools that we need right to the scene,” Fitzgerald said. “It will also allow the officers to work as a team out of the weather elements, so they can do a more effective and efficient job.” The vehicle, which costs $400,000, was obtained through a $200,000 grant from the Connecticut Department of Transportation, a $150,000 Office of Policy and Management grant, and contribuPhoto courtesy of the Newington Police Department

From urban to suburban
Berlin resident Jennifer Fischer, alongside her husband Christian and daughter Ting, have shared their home with 10-year-old Daniela, of Brooklyn, N.Y., for the past two summers through The Fresh Air Fund’s Volunteer Host Family Program. Considering her as part of the family, they are excited to welcome Daniela back this summer in July, maintaining the gratifying bond that both the Fischer’s and Daniela have experienced through this program. “Hosting a child requires flexibility and patience, because of which we have grown closer together as a
family,” Fischer said. The Fresh Air Fund, an independent, not-for-profit agency, has provided free summer vacation experiences to more than 1.7 million New York City children from low-income neighborhoods since 1877. Each summer, over 4,000 inner-city children visit suburban, rural, and small town communities across 13 states, from Virginia to Maine and Canada, through the program. Having a strong interest in volunteering, Fischer decided to take a chance hosting a child in 2011 after reading a news article about The Fresh Air Fund’s organization. “I wanted to offer my
every day experience to children from different backgrounds,” she said. Opening their home to Daniela, the Fischer’s offer the 10-year-old experiences she cannot receive in her Brooklyn home, such as camping in the backyard, reading by the campfire and roasting S’mores. The Fresh Air Fund is currently seeking host families. To learn more about how to become a host family in the Greater Hartford area this summer, call Jennifer Fischer at (860) 829-1479, or visit freshair.org.

Bowling began his job as BHS music teacher and band director in 2008 and said he will “absolutely” miss the school. “Working with the Berlin High School band was a fabulous experience,” Bowling said. “I really enjoyed working with the parents here, they’re just really good people. And the students were absolutely outstanding all five years I worked here, just really hard working kids. I’ll tell ya,’ if they believe in something, they give 110 percent. There’s no doubt about it.” Coming from working in the South to working in the
1283006
Berlin High School band director Mark Bowling won’t be returning next year to teach music — he’s packing up and moving to Tennessee. “That’s my home,” said the 48-year-old music teacher. “All my family is there and (my wife, Karen, and I) are missing a lot of our younger nieces and nephews growing up. When the opportunity came to us to move back home, we took it. We’ve been gone from east Tennessee for almost 20 years now.” Berlin school district’s hiring committee reviewed final candidates for a new band director on June 11, according to Bowling. Bowling said he does not have a job lined up back in his home state, but he is currently filling out applications and sending out resumes. “The school year down there starts earlier than ours here, so it may be too late for me to get a job for this year,” Bowling said. “If that’s the
case, I’ll volunteer with a program or I’ll find some way to keep myself busy musically and educationally so that there won’t be a big gap in my resume.” The last time Bowling worked in Tennessee, in terms of music, was when he was a student music teacher for the 1994-95 school year. “After one year, when Karen and I got married, we immediately moved to Georgia where I worked in their school system for 12 years,” he said. “My first job was sixth through twelfth grade music.” Bowling and his wife moved to Connecticut in 2007 when Karen accepted a promotion at her job, which entailed transferring to the state. Karen works for Deloitte & Touche LLP, a management consulting services industry in Wilton. “I spent my first year here without a job because it was too late in the school year, but I actually volunteered with the Bethel band for a year,” Bowling said.

An employee grabbed a glazed doughnut from the 8foot stand of doughnuts, unwrapped a plastic knife, halved the pastry, dropped a fried egg on it, and finished by using tongs to lay two strips of bacon on the sandwich. Moments before, I had ordered my small black coffee and new Dunkin’ Donuts Glazed Doughnut Sandwich. That morning, June 7, was the launch day of this small sandwich on the regular menu at the coffee shop chain. The employee wrapped and placed the sandwich in a bag and handed it to me. “Is
this your sandwich? I hope you enjoy it,” she said. No doubt, Dunkin’ Donuts owned National Doughnut Day. Employees asked every customer who drove through the drivethrough at D u n k i n ’ Donuts at 1100 Berlin Turnpike, Berlin, what kind of free donut they’d like, according to store manager Alyssa Benedict. At the end of the day, 744 doughnuts were given away at that store. Locally, it appeared that the release of Dunkin Donut’s new sandwich, the Glazed Doughnut Sandwich, was not publicized. By late morning, Benedict said only six customers had ordered the new sandwich,

Sandwich
The Berlin Citizen — Thursday, June 13, 2013 Durham, and Southington, most stores prepared two weeks in advance, receiving an informational packet on the sandwich, training employees to make it, and tastetesting it. Gagnon had not tried the glazed doughnut sandwich until now. Biting into it, he said “Mmmm, that’s very good.” However, he said it’s not likely to become a regular choice for him. Like others, Gagnon is concerned about the health aspect of the sandwich. However, the sandwich is only 360 calories, making it one of the sandwiches with the least calories on Dunkin’ Donuts’ menu. It beats out the bacon, egg and cheese on a bagel sandwich by 100 calories. The Glazed Doughnut Breakfast Sandwich contains 13
grams of sugar and 20 grams of fat. The bacon, egg and cheese on a bagel has 7 grams of sugar and 11 grams of fat. This was accomplished by stripping unnecessary components from the sandwich. One doughnut is used to encase the contents, and the sandwich does not contain cheese. Dunkin’ Donuts said a glazed doughnut sandwich was an inevitable part of evolution of its menu. Executive Chef Stan Frankenthaler said in developing this sandwich, his team followed the trend of paring salty and sweet foods. “It’s an incredibly unique sandwich that differentiates our brand and provides our guests with a great experience. The sandwich is fun
and quirky and that’s what makes it very ‘Dunkin’,’” he said. In an interview last year, Frankenthaler said social and culinary trends work together. Katie True, assistant manager for the Dunkin’ Donuts at 262 Meriden Waterbury Turnpike, Southington, said other donut shops she has worked at sold similar sandwiches even before Dunkin’ decided to roll out this kind of sandwich. People want crazy foods, she said, and unique places to eat are popping up all over town. Pedro Ramos, manager of the Dunkin’ Donuts store at 38 Main St., Durham, said the South has its chicken and waffles. Now, the North has its savory and salty paring. He said most people will be surprised to taste and see

Bowling Continued from page 3 there are some very, very good competitive marching bands up here, there is a big emphasis on it in the south. On the other hand, there is a little more emphasis on jazz in the
Northeast than in the South.” Bowling offered advice for the new band director: “Trust the kids; they know what they are doing,” he said. “Just relish in this community because the community is supportive of the band program in this town.”

“I think the area that it makes a little bit of a hardship is for the high school and college hires at such organizations like the YMCA that rely on those workers,” Aresimowicz said. “But business in general, I don’t think the increase will be a hardship.” The bill was first sent to the Senate, which voted 21-to-15 in favor of the bill on May 23, and then it moved to the House on May 29 for final passage. Lawmakers approved the bill in an 89-53 vote after almost six hours of debate. Unlike an earlier bill that proposed larger increases, the legislation does not link future increases to Consumer Price Index with this bill. The Associated Press contributed to this report.

rent minimum wage, which is just under $18,000 a year, it gets difficult, if not impossible, to provide for the family and make sure rent, utilities, groceries are provided,” Aresimowicz said. While proponents said the increase will help people struggling to make ends meet by stringing together a couple of minimum wage jobs, opponents warned it could hamper job growth by discouraging small businesses from hiring. “I think everyone would love to see wages increase as a whole, however, Connecticut’s GDP (the Gross Domestic Product) growth is rated last in the nation,” said Anne Reilly, chair of the Berlin Republican Party and longtime Berlin resident. “Our business growth is horrendous. This is not the time to raise minimum wage and make it mandatory. Aresimowicz has been active in public service for over 14 years and said “the majority of the business owners,” he has talked to has stated “they don’t really pay minimum wage, other than for high school and college student workers.” “They know it is important to retain quality employees and they do so by paying a wage that is commensurate with keeping them,” Aresi-
mowicz said. “I don’t think it will necessarily hurt businesses in the long run.” But some Republicans warned the bill will hurt students looking for summer jobs, according to the Associated Press. “A lot of teens and young adults don’t have jobs,” Reilly said. “They’re among the highest unemployed age group right now. When minimum wage goes up, those jobs get cut back and, consequently, there will be less job opportunities out there.” Reilly said she thinks the mandatory increase will hurt business development in the state and also said it will be a deterrent for businesses to move into Connecticut. But Aresimowicz doesn’t agree.

Josephine “Jo” (Zarli) Snowden, 90, formerly of East Berlin, passed away June 2, 2013, after complications from a simple medical procedure. Born Oct. 26, 1922, in Natick, R.I., to Vincenza (Triangelo) and Nicandro Zarli, she was the widow of De Wilton (Bill) Snowden. Jo graduated from Cranston High School and Edgewood Secretarial School. During ‘the war,’ she worked for the American Red Cross at which time she met Bill who was stationed at the Newport, R.I., Naval Yard. The two married and Jo became a Navy wife until 1955, when they settled in East Berlin. Josephine was the proud mother of three children on whom she unceasingly and unselfishly devoted her energy. Jo was a world traveler, visiting the likes of the American National Parks, Russia, Europe, Iceland and Australia. Not your typical tourist, she slept in a grass hut in Fiji and a dormitory while attending classes at the University of Hawaii. Her other interests included reading, knitting and pressed flower creations. She was concerned with national and local politics, as well as Berlin history. She was a member of St. Gabriel’s Episcopal Church, the Berlin Art League, Berlin Historical Society, Red Hatters’ Society and the New Britain YWCA and YMCA. Following the death of her husband, Bill, Jo lived independently in her big house, swam five days a week and could be seen driving her yellow Mini Cooper throughout the area. Josephine leaves her children and their spouses, Mayo and Jim Chase of Berlin, Mike and Mil Snowden of Bethlehem and Mary Beth and Ted Hrubiec, of Berlin; grandchildren and their spouses Erik Snowden and Sue Beckley, Todd and Keri Snowden, Willie Snowden,
and Andrew and Elizabeth Hrubiec; great-grandchildren Brett, Emma, Meredith, Roxanne, Shelby and Colt Snowden. Jo was predeceased by a brother, Michael. Services were held June 6, 2013, at St. Gabriel’s Episcopal Church, East Berlin. Memorial donations may be made to the American Red Cross, 97 Broad Street, Middletown, 06457, or Saint Gabriel’s Church, 68 Main Street, East Berlin, 06023.

Gone for good
To the editor: I wanted to alert the community to the possibility that the town is seriously considering the option of leveling Pistol Creek to make the Boy Scout’s maintained and marked trails into another sports playing field for lacrosse. I know sports in this town is BIG with a capital B, but finding a time and place to play is just a matter of shuffling and scheduling, once you level a place like Pistol Creek, the beauty, the wildlife and it’s habitat will be gone for good. Recently they mowed select areas at Pistol Creek and my three-year-old daughter and I got to see some things close up we would never see anywhere else. We saw a snapping turtle crossing the paved path to get to the pond, and two baby woodchucks
pop out of their burrow to wait on the path for their mother. We saw a hawk dive for some critter that was to become lunch, and a snake we later had to look up on the internet when we got home — we found out it was an Eastern Brown Snake, (nonpoisonous). In the fall my whole family saw a group of three deer and the horseback riders from the nearby farm on the trails. Thank you for your time and support. Suzanne Helm Berlin
Undue hardship To the editor: If the Berlin Board of Education goes forward with its plans to change the Emma Heart Willard School start time from 8 a.m. to 8:40 a.m., parents will have a difficult time balancing work and putting the kids on the bus. The BOE’s decision would ultimately cause an undue hardship to many families. Parents need to leave early in morning to go to their jobs — this proposed start time will prevent them from doing so. That being said, many would
be forced to make hard choices including paying for a before program as most jobs start between the hours of 8 and 9 a.m. If they could not afford such program, then that would mean they would have to try to change their hours at work or they may have to resort to changing jobs. On May 29, I started a petition on change.org. The BOE and Willard school administrators needed to know how their decision would affect our Willard school families and overall Community. In under twenty-four hours we received 100 signatures, along with several heartfelt testimonies. The BOE is supposed to represent us, the taxpaying citizens, and we are asking them to abide by the wishes of the tax payers. If this change is finalized, the struggles and hardship of these family will not be forgotten, we will remember the BOE’s actions at the next election. It is not just an inconvenience, it’s a finical hardship. It’s their livelihood. Marilyn Richter Kensington

Commentary
Don’t make time for Lyme By Shane Lockwood Spring / summer are officially here, triggering warmer weather and longer days. As we look forward to turning down the thermostats, opening windows and spending more time outdoors, Gene Gagnon, Registered Sanitarian of the Plainville-Southington Health District, would like to remind everyone that this is the season for tick bites and tick-borne diseases. “Ticks, which transmit Lyme disease, become more active when temperatures are above 35 degrees,” Gagnon said. “Since Connecticut is in the top 10 for states reporting cases to the U.S. Centers for Disease and Prevention, this is a little too close for home.” Lyme disease makes hundreds of thousands of people sick every year; it is the most common tick-borne disease in the United States. Children are especially hard hit by Lyme disease with the highest incidence among children between the ages of 5 to 14. According to the Connecticut Department of Public Health, peak months for acquiring infections from ticks are May through July. Ticks live in places where
there is a lot of tall grass, shrubs, and leaves. Ticks wait for an animal (like deer, a mouse, or a dog) or a person to walk by. Ticks then grab on to the animal or humans to find a good place to attach themselves. They might hide in a person’s hair, or behind the knee, or even under clothing. Ticks bite into a person or animal’s skin and start drinking their blood. Tick bites don’t usually hurt, so you may not even notice. The tick can stay attached for a few days. When it is full it will fall off. To prevent tick bites: — Avoid tall grass and overgrown, brushy areas. — When hiking in wooded areas, stay in the middle of trails. — Consider using insect repellent, according to manufacturer’s instructions. — Tuck pant leg into socks, wear long-sleeved shirts, and closed shoes. — Wear light colored clothing to see the ticks easier for removal. — When returning indoors, shower using a wash cloth or puff to remove any attached ticks. — Examine yourself, children, and pets for ticks when See Lyme, next page

Berlin Historical Society to honor town’s Civil War monuments By Lorraine Stub
The Berlin Historical Society will host a free public program on June 18, at 7 p.m., in The Parish Hall of Kensington Congregational Church, on Percival Avenue. Our guest speaker that evening will be Dr. Matt Warshauer, professor of history at Central Connecticut State University. Matt is a prolific writer and engaging speaker. His most recent book, “Connecticut in the American Civil War: Slavery, Sacrifice, and Survival,” was published in 2011 and is a current must read for Connecticut residents interested in the real stories of Connecticut’s participation in the war and an accurate account of our involvement in the emancipation movement. Matt serves as coordinator for Connecticut Commemorates the Civil War, an organization of historical societies and related groups fostering events related to the 150th anniversary of the Civil War. One of those events is taking place here in Kensington, July 28, for the rededication of the first Civil War monument erected in 1863. The classic brownstone obelisk was designed by renowned Kensington landscape artist and photographer, Nelson Augustus Moore. Later he designed the ornate black iron fence to encircle the monument. The cost of the monument was paid for by subscription from local residents. At the time the monument was first dedi-

returning indoors. — Talk to your veterinarian to find out how to protect your pets from tick bites. What to do after a tick bite: — If you or a loved one is bitten, remove the tick promptly. — Grasp the tick’s mouthparts against the skin, using pointed narrow tweezers. — Pull steady until you can ease the tick out of the skin. — Do not pull sharply; this may tear the mouthparts from the body of the tick and leave them embedded in the skin. — Do not squeeze or crush the body of the tick; this may force fluids from the tick into the skin.
Is climate change a factor in severe weather?
— Do not apply substances such as petroleum jelly, nail polish, or light a match to the tick while it is attached. They may agitate the tick and force more infected fluid into the skin. — Once you removed the tick, wash wound site with soap and water. — Observe the bite site over the next several weeks for any signs of expanding rash. — Removing ticks within 36 hours of attachment reduces the risk of infection. If you are bitten by a tick, a small red bump may appear in a few days to a week, usually at the site of the bite. The bump may feel warm and tender when touched. It may resemble a bull’s eye, with a red ring surrounding a clear area and a red center; it is often confused with a
spider bite. Contact your physician for a further evaluation. According to DPH’s website, “ticks in Connecticut can carry a variety of disease causing agents, including rickettsia, bacteria, and protozoa. People can become infected with more than one disease with just one tick bite. Tick-borne diseases found in Connecticut include Lyme disease, Babesiosis, Ehrlichiosis and Rocky Mountain spotted fever.” An engorged deer tick can be tested through the Central Connecticut Health District, which includes Berlin. For more information about ticks and Lyme disease contact the CCHS at (860) 721-2822. Shane Lockwood is the health director for the Plainville-Southington Health District.
Our thoughts and condolences go out to those in Oklahoma City affected by May’s historically massive tornado. The 1.3-milewide column of violently rotating winds, reaching over 200 mph, flattened neighborhoods and took two dozen lives in its 17-mile path. Pictures of the aftermath have been shocking. Suburban streets lined with cluttered remains of what once were rows of houses. Bloodied survivors emerging from the sudden wreckage. As with many tragedies, there too have been uplifting, human elements of heroism and perseverance. At Plaza Towers Elementary School, where the twister would kill at least nine children, split-second decisions by educators undoubtedly saved lives of many more youths as the structure disintegrated. Quick-thinking instructors reportedly herded pupils out of hallways — dangerous in tornados due to glass windows — and into safer closets and bathrooms. These teachers warrant the highest commendation. Emergency responders and survivors teamed up and pulled trapped individuals from ruins. A video gone viral also depicts how from devastation can emerge hope. During an interview with a TV news crew, an elderly woman, whose house lay leveled behind her, mournfully said her beloved dog was buried beneath the knotted wood and metal. Seconds later, on-camera, the canine is discovered crawling out from under the household remains: scared, wobbly, but alive and able to walk. It takes a perfect storm of meteorological events to
create a tornado like the one of May 20, which the National Weather Service rated EF5, the maximum possible. Recent years have seen a noteworthy number of freakish atmospheric conditions. Last year, Hurricane Sandy slammed into the East Coast as the largest Atlantic hurricane on record (topping 2010’s Igor). A series of unusually bad droughts have hindered the American heartland. Connecticut suffered significant setbacks during a recent pattern of inclement weather, including Winter Storm Alfred, Tropical Storm Irene and the 2013 blizzard. One wonders, then, whether atmospheric changes worldwide could be factors behind this recent rise in atypical weather. The global climate is a complex, fragile, interconnected system. Developments on one continent can affect meteorological environments within the hemisphere on the Earth’s opposite side. If manmade emissions in densely populated countries are causing hotter conditions in Arctic regions, the shift could be enough to supercharge natural elements which produce droughts and storms. Either way, this possibility is worth further research. If some sort of mitigation method exists for reducing negative effects displayed by recent destructive weather, our top scientific minds should pursue it. Better understanding of what causes extreme atmospheric events like the May 20 tornado could help prevent further loss of homes and lives as in Oklahoma.

Continued from page 1 “We normally would like to have eight officers out in the field to run the checkpoint efficiently so that we are not disrupting the traffic too bad and we are moving people along quickly,” Mulhall said. “A lot of us were having a hard time filling those eight positions because they usually are weird hours from 10 p.m. to three or four in the morning.” The Mid-State Chiefs of Police approached the Connecticut Department of Transportation with its plan to regionalize spot checks. Mulhall said part of the plan included a “centralized vehicle to help us with the DUI processing in the field.” Once the grant application was approved, the five departments discussed ways the vehicle would be used. “We talked about having a processing station and intoxilyzer analysis machines out there in the field, and being able to connect directly with the health department through a wireless system,” Mulhall said. “We started to design the vehicle and what ends up happening during spot checks, we often times take in evidence, such as drugs and weapons among other things.” The departments then applied for additional funding with the Connecticut Office of Policy and Management, since the state recently started a regionalized initiative program through grants. “If you had a set of work

functions that you wanted to regionalize, the state came up with funding to allow communities to do that,” Mulhall said. “So we discussed adding evidence processing to the system, which makes sense because what would happen is if (officers) see evidence out in the field they would put it into a temporary container and transport it to headquarters where you unpackaged it, do all the formalized processing and then you repackage it. It made sense to us to do it once in the field so it is handled less and speeds the process up.” Once the Office of Policy and Management approved the towns for the grant, the Mid-State Chiefs of Police expanded on its ideas and design. “That’s when we looked into crime-scene investigations with our detective bureaus and following the model of our accident reconstruction team. We thought that was a good way to go with the extra funding,” Mulhall said. So far the vehicle has been used for four DUI checkpoints and two fatal car accidents. The van is not yet equipped for major crime use. “Our last component to finalizing the vehicle is working on the protocol to get all the equipment in for the major-crime unit,” Mulhall said. “We have until Dec. 31 to complete that project using the money from the Office of Policy and Management.” Berlin showcased the 36foot-long vehicle during the

Kemmling lifts BHS ladies to third straight title By Ken Lipshez The Berlin Citizen Scholastic state championships are cherished commodities. The ball starts rolling long before the season starts. Talent is refined to its highest level. They report back to the team bigger, faster and stronger. They do their best to harness the rapid physical, mental and emotional changes of their teenage years and piece things together. Both during contests and away from the arena of play, a certain degree of camaraderie pervades. Group dynamics couldn’t be much better. They work hard over a season that spans two or three months and with an embrace from Lady Luck, they win a state championship. They’ve reached a lofty level. They’ve played games with moments that they’ll remember for a lifetime. Think of how many student-athletes in all those

The 2013 BHS girls golf state champions, Julia Kemmling, Ashley D’Attilio, Abbie Underwood, Emily Deutsch and Caroline D’Attilio, are pictured with coach Jim Barnes. sports who start out every semester with aspirations of such achievement reach that pinnacle.
But when state championships happen again and again – and in the case of the Berlin High girls golf team,
again – you delve into the dynasty realm. The Redcoats affixed another sparkling gem in their tiaras June 4 at the Orange Hills Country Club by winning their state-record third straight title with a score of 358. Before Berlin, no school had ever won even two. “This was a great day for our girls and a great day for the Berlin girls golf program,” Redcoats coach Jim Barnes said. “Three state ti-
tles in a row is just unbelievable. The girls peaked at the right time. I knew Greenwich, Staples and Farmington would be tough, but after the girls won the CCC Tournament by 26 strokes, I was cautiously optimistic this would happen.” At the heart of the matter stands Julia Kemmling, just a sophomore but probably the top scholastic female in the state. Barnes doesn’t have a twinge of doubt. “Simply put, she is the best player in the state,” he said. Kemmling shot an 80 on the par-74 layout to land state medalist honors. Completing the team effort required to scale such heights, Ashley D’Attilio carded an 86, Abbie Underwood finished at 93, Emily Deutsch at 99 and Caroline D’Attilio at 100. Individually, Kemmling held off the quartet of Catherine McEvoy (Greenwich), Rachel Corry (Ridge-

Sun sets on magical softball season By Ken Lipshez The Berlin Citizen
Everybody connected with the Berlin High softball team who wished for a sunny day June 4 in retrospect would have given anything for a little cloud cover. The No. 6 Redcoats played a nearly seamless game against undefeated second seed Masuk-Monroe in a Class L semifinal at West Haven High’s Frank Biondi Field. They took good hacks against the Panthers’ slickslinging pitcher Tatum Buckley. Their defense was steady and even sensational when it needed to be. Makayla Harris matched her heralded downstate opponent pitch for pitch. The game was deadlocked with one out in the fourth when third baseman Kaitlyn Guild fielded a routine grounder. Her throw to first

Berlin’s Courtney Silvia barrels down the base path during the Class L state tournament. base was chest-high – on target – but nature intervened as it can only at sunset, only in June. As she tried to line up the
throw, senior first baseman Kat Burek saw nothing but blinding sunlight peeking just over the western horizon. The ball sailed by her, enabling pinch-runner Jana Migliaro to score the eventual game-winner in a 2-1 Masuk victory. “We didn’t lose, they won … them and the sun,” Berlin coach Jason Pires said. “They had a little help but I don’t want to take anything away from them. They deserved to win as much as we did.’ Masuk had only given up 10 runs all year – none in the state tournament – when the Redcoats seized the momentum in the second inning. Buckley, who yielded four hits, walked none and struck out 12, left a hissing calling card in the first inning when she fanned two of the first three hitters.
Guild started the frame by floating a single just inside the left-field line. With one out, Harris socked a double into the right-field gap. Living by his credo of aggres-
sive baserunning, Pires sent Guild. The relay was cut off and there was no play at the plate. Harris took third on

For Lady Redcoats, there is much to look forward to By Ken Lipshez The Berlin Citizen Mixed emotions churned inside Kat Burek in the wake of the Redcoats’ heart-rending 2-1 loss to Masuk The loss stung, of course, but even at a time when tears are apt to flow, she knew how well she and her teammates had played and how proud they will be

On a team level, Greenwich and Staples tied for second place at 370, 12 strokes off Berlin’s pace. Farmington, which nipped the Redcoats by a stroke in their lone season setback, came in at 380. “If [Julia] doesn’t win
Player of the Year honors, somebody should be arrested,” Barnes said. “A few years ago when Diana Taurasi played for UConn, Geno Auriemma was quoted as saying ‘I believe we can beat anyone because I’ve got Diana and they don’t.’ Well, I’ve got Julia and they don’t, plus I’ve also got Ashley, Emily, Caroline and Abbie. I’ll take my chances with this group on any course, against any team, anytime.”
But will Player of the Year honors go to the super soph? “[McEvoy] will probably edge her out because the way the system works. They look at scoring differential, what you shoot minus the course rating,” Barnes explained. “They take the 10 best and based on that formula, [McEvoy] is slightly better, but in my heart the bottom line is Julia.

“There have been games that have been tough to swallow. I can’t get mad about a ball that’s in the sun’s line. It happened, we lost 2-1, the kids played great and I couldn’t be prouder of them,” Pires said.
“It stunk that it happened, but that’s not to take anything away from them. Masuk played well. What we deserved was a game where that didn’t happen and let the best team win. Maybe Masuk was that team, but maybe that was us.”

she will be attending Marist in Poughkeepsie, N.Y. She reflected on the recent past – how the program’s numbers were down, how badly she wanted to be part of building something special, how tight she and her teammates were as they constructed a brilliant season. She also looked ahead. “Berlin High hasn’t done this in the longest time,” she said, the tears falling more profusely with every word. “Kristina and I are the only two leaving. I can’t even imagine what they will accomplish next year. Makayla [Harris] worked so hard
along with [catcher Amanda Patterson] and the rest of the girls. I’m jealous that I can’t come back. They have a really good future ahead of them. “We’re a small team but we’re mighty. Berlin hasn’t done this since 1991. That’s history right there. I’ll be back from college watching them.” She recalled being asked by the coaching staff before the season about her goals. “I didn’t make it personal where I wanted to be all-conference, or I wanted recognition. After rough years we’ve had in the past, I want us to bond. I look at the Berlin High School girls basketball team and I want our team to be like that – gel and knit and

She said she’ll choose to remember the quarterfinal win over a defending Class L champion Rockville team that had virtually its whole team intact as the seminal moment of her career. “It’s not all about softball for us, we’re a team,” she said, contemplating the value of team sports in her typically analytical fashion. “I knew we were going to walk out of [Rockville] with a win. That game is everything to me.” Choosing Marist meant that collegiate softball is an unlikely possibility. “I didn’t pursue it – I pur-

backbone of a defense that will be strong up the middle with both shortstop Brittany Sullivan and second baseman Alyssa Germano returning. Sullivan, left fielder Megan Wicander and center fielder Courtney Silvia leave the Redcoats’ devastating top-of-the lineup speed in place in addition to exceptional outfield coverage. Right fielder Kelsie Anderson, whom Pires said devoutly stuck to baseball prior to this season and made a remarkable adjustment, returns as does Callie Veach, this year’s designated player. Cleanup hitter Kaitlyn Guild has mastered the hot corner, and looms as a potential AllStater before her time is through. Said Pires: “We had six great seniors graduate last year. I had six new starters this season. I have three sophomores and six juniors starting so they’re all coming back. I’ve got a bunch of kids on the bench and I’ve got a good group of freshmen coming in. The future is bright.”
sued academics first – but if an opportunity arises and I can walk on and play the game I love, I’d love to,” she said. A HAPPY BUS: Coach Jason Pires stated emphatically after the Masuk game that he did not want a quiet bus ride home. He wanted a trip to the finals as much as anybody in his position, but his team had played an almost flawless game and did everything he asked. He saw no reason for dejection. “Most of the kids sat together in a big group and sang songs – just what I would have wanted,” he said. “My assistant coach [Joy Cooper] sat up front with the two seniors and talked about the year. Kat was still upset, but I think she felt a bit better by the end of the ride.” CAN WE START NOW? The Redcoats will be a force in 2014. It starts with Harris – ultracompetitive, smart and productive in every facet of the game. Batterymate Amanda Patterson gives the team the ultimate in pitchercatcher experience and the

Kemmling Continued from page 16 “She was the [CCC] medalist and at states she played [McEvoy] head-to-head, and beat her by three strokes. In my book, if you look at Player of the Year, you look at how a girl did individually and how she helped her team. I don’t know what else Julia could have done.” When Barnes learned that the team had been invited to WFSB-TV3 studios to do a live piece with Joe Zone about the championship, Barnes went all out to make the event even more special. “I rented a limo to take them down,” he said. “They were so excited. They were all on their cellphones texting their friends. I said, ‘Ladies, you may not appreciate this now but what you accomplished, nobody can take

It was a wonderful, wonderful experience.” Regarding the dynastic ruminations, Barnes and the girls have their golf carts in motion. Kemmling, Ashley D’Attilio and Underwood have two more varsity seasons ahead of them. So does Emma Atkinson, who occasionally rotated into the starting lineup.

Thursday, June 13, 2013 — The Berlin Citizen
Stowell Continued from page 1
Citizen photo by Monica Szakacs
Austin Stowell poses with the senior cast of “Harry’s Hotter at Twilight.” wanted to tell stories. “Today, I am who I am because of people around me and characters I saw in film and television,” he said. “I wanted to be like Zack Morris growing up. … I go see movies and I see characters I want to be like. I learn from the lessons taught to me by the story.” He said Hollywood is failing these days. While some original content is coming out, movies like “Iron Man 3” are simply fun, not deep.
He told the students that he was inspired by them. The recognition he received from them will help him work harder. Stowell posed for photographs and then his brothers, who were with him, hurried Stowell away. They were going to their mother’s retirement party. Their mother, Elizabeth Stowell, will retire from teaching fourth grade at Willard Elementary School at the end of this year.
In the upcoming year, Stowell will begin filming “Dolphin Tale Two” and a coming of age drama/comedy, “Worst of My Life So Far.” Back in the auditorium, the curtain went down and the lights were up. Backpacks and yearbooks rested in the seats and stage crew moved quietly back and forth, setting up the stage. Recore said the visit helped inspire his students. “I really think it worked,” he said.

before. What do you say in a moment like this, to the people that come after? Stowell wanted to affirm the efforts of the drama students. The former athlete, who played tennis, baseball and football in high school until a knee injury drew him into acting, told students to focus on the qualitative, tell stories, change lives. “If I can offer any advice,” he told them, “is just do whatever you love every day when you wake up.” Before entering the auditorium, Stowell talked with teachers in the hall which was filled with students leaving for their weekend. “Oh there is Smith’s podium right there!” Stowell said, looking at a podium that stood in the center of the stage. Then he saw Rex Smith, calculus teacher and owner of the podium. He hugged his old teacher and then returned. “That was Mr. Smith,” he said, “one of my close friends and mentors. He’s the reason why I am where I am today.” Smith taught Stowell calculus, but instead of learning calculus, Stowell said the teacher “taught that it was okay to go my own path.” Stowell said Smith would have seniors sign his podium. That podium was now part of
the set for “Harry’s Hotter at Twilight.” Stowell finally walked into the auditorium. The cast and crew sat in the front rows of the room. He stopped to shake hands and talk to them. “And what’s your name, man?” Stowell said. “Jared.” “Nice to meet you, man, I’m Austin.” For most of the time, Stowell sat on the stage, legs dangling off it, and talked about working in Hollywood, the side that is not often seen past the glamor and the celebrity, the part that involves buying headshots, an apartment, getting settled, and then having no money and no contacts. Networking. Rejection. While some go to Hollywood for the fame and then quickly burn out, Stowell said he went because he wanted people to feel something from his acting. He

the sport’s elite. “You go to Timberlin and you’ll see them chipping, putting. They’ll have lunch together then go out and play,” Barnes said. “It’s quite a sorority. “Four freshmen came in this year and by the time the year was over, they were already down in the low 50s, which is the first step toward getting them in the 40s. “I’m just amazed at the commitment I’ve gotten from these girls. This group is bonded so closely that they don’t want to let each other down. That’s the drive that makes them work so hard.”

Memorial Day parade. It hasn’t been used in town yet for DUI spot checks or a major crime, but Fitzgerald said the department has plans to use it for DUI enforcement in the near future. “It’s not going to go to every accident, but if it’s an accident that covers a large area and it’s going to take us a longer time to investigate, then we will bring the vehicle along,” Fitzgerald said, adding that officers won’t have to travel back and forth from the police station to process evidence. “DOT is really the one that got this project going for us,” Mulhall said. “If we didn’t have the base vehicle for the primary use of DWI (driving while intoxicated) enforcement, we would have never been able to think outside the box. It certainly supports all three functions appropriately and they all kind of merge together. Now we will be able to build a better case and do the job more efficiently.”

CIRMA recognizes town The Connecticut Interlocal Risk Management Agency recently awarded the Town of Berlin its Risk Management Achievement Award for 2013. The town is recognized for making workplace safety and risk management a priority within the town’s operations. Town Manager Denise McNair engaged all operating departments in employee health and safety reviews. They updated job descriptions, implemented pre-employment human performance reviews for positions with a high-risk of injury, and implemented an aggressive return-to-work initiative across all departments. The town also implemented risk transfer and best practices for all departments. As a direct result, the cost of workers’ compensation losses has been reduced by 40 percent over the past fiscal year—savings that will benefit the community. CIRMA’s mission is to reduce losses and its costs by improving its members’ understanding of risk and the ways to control and manage it. CIRMA is a member-owned and governed organization that is the state’s leading municipal insurer.
