More than 100 people attended a Memorial Day ceremony held at American Legion Post 68, including members of the Berlin High School Chorus, and the Berlin High School and McGee Middle School bands. The decision on whether to cancel the parade must be made before 7 a.m., and at that time “the weather did not look favorable,” Memorial Day Parade Chairman Tom Chesery said. “There are many children that march in the parade, and some carry heavy instruments and instruments that could be damSee Ceremony / Page 30

Berlin is reaping approximately $38,000 in savings according to Director of Finance Jim Wren. The town budgeted interest rates for bonds at 3 percent, and interest rates obtained were 2.75 percent after an unprecedented 13 bidders on these bonds – the town normally receives fewer than five bids, according to Wren. “In a large part it is due to the increased credit rating,” Wren told The Citizen May 21. Berlin’s credit rating was raised earlier this year. Wren said that this in-
crease is due to the town’s overall conservatism in budgeting: The town has a contingency fund to prepare for natural disasters and has a healthy fund balance. The town also aims high in cost estimates and low in estimates of state funding, to ensure that budget items are not underfunded, and manages its long term liabilities – like pensions – effectively. These measures played an important part in raising Berlin’s credit rating, according to Wren. Deputy Mayor William See Sale / Page 5

Report: BHS construction going well By Charles Kreutzkamp The Berlin Citizen
The Town Council heard a report from Tom Smith of Gilbane Construction on the Berlin High School renovation project at the May 20
Town Council meeting. The new cafeteria “is looking fantastic at this point,” Smith said. The painting, ceiling, and lights are complete, and kitchen equipment is being installed this week. The project is proceeding on
schedule to open new parts of the school to students this fall despite continued weather-related delays in roofing, as rains have been frequent. “We are hoping the weather See Construction / Page 24

The CT Traditional Wing Chun Kung Fu Academy recently opened its doors in town and held an official ribbon-cutting ceremony celebrating its move from Wethersfield May 21. Martial Artist and retired law enforcement officer Dave Gallo, owner of the academy, said that martial arts has been a passion of his for 23 years.

training brings. Practicing martial arts can give not only physical benefits, but mental benefits as well, Gallo said. “It teaches you discipline, focus, and concentration.” It also can give youngsters the confidence and discipline to deal with difficult situations in school, such as bullying, Gallo said. “It really gives kids an early edge on leadership.” “I welcome Wing Chun Kung Fu to Berlin,” Mayor Rachel Rochette said. “Dave and his team have chosen a great location in the Webster Square area just off the Berlin Turnpike and Route 9. I wish them great success at their new Berlin location.”

He first started studying Wing Chun when he was 17 years old. “Traditional Wing Chun Kung Fu is geared to people of all ages, sizes, and abilities,” Gallo said in a statement. “While the majority of our students are adults, our exciting and challenging kids’ program is rapidly growing. Children love martial arts. It’s downright fun and healthy. Parents love the program because our system of positive reinforcement develops self confidence, a sense of fair play, respect, courtesy, and positive self image.” Gallo told The Citizen that he enjoys “the empowerment, peace of mind, [and] health benefits” that martial arts

Rasmussen said during the Town Council meeting May 20 that Berlin “hit a sweet spot with our interest rates when we have a need to replace much of our infrastructure… interest rates even a fraction of a percent lower can have a big impact.” Mayor Rachel Rochette commended Town Manager Denise McNair, Wren, Director of Economic Development Jim Mahoney, and the rest of the town staff in response to the news. The town also sold bond anticipation notes, often referred to as bands. “Instead of permanently bonding, you bond for less than a year and you can roll those over,” Wren said. The interest rate for these was budgeted at 1 percent, and the town received .3229 percent instead. “People were very attracted to the investments,” Wren said.

members. Fred passed away in March of 2012, following a long illness. Jackie moved to Luther Ridge in Middletown, and continued to lovingly spoil her grandson, Wyatt Bajorski. She also continued to be an active member of the Bethany Covenant Church and enjoyed the fellowship she encountered there. The Blaser Family would like to extend our thanks to the staff at Luther Ridge. We would also like to extend our deepest appreciation to the doctors, nurses and other staff at the Intensive Care Unit of the Hospital of Central Connecticut. Their professionalism and compassion assisted us through this difficult time. We would also like to extend our thanks to the members of Bethany Covenant Church who visited and prayed with Jackie during her time in the hospital. We would also like to thank “Nurse Courtney” for her compassion, understanding, and guidance. A memorial service to celebrate Jackie’s life will be held on Saturday, May 31, at the Bethany Covenant Church, 785 Mill St., East Berlin. The service will start at 11 a.m., and will be followed by an internment ceremony in the Bethany Covenant Memorial Garden. The family requests that in lieu of flowers donations be made to the Bethany Covenant Music Fund in Jackie’s memory. Erickson-Hansen Funeral Home is in charge of arrangements.

Opinion Letters to the Editor Carnival a success To the editor: The Hubbard School Carnival Committee would like to extend a sincere thank you to all the businesses who donated items and services for the sixth annual Hubbard School Carnival, which was held on Friday, May 9. The sixth carnival was very successful even though we made the decision to bring the carnival inside due to the weather. It is only because of the generous donations from area businesses that we are able to continue holding this carnival each year. Thank you also the Upbeat volunteers. We are very
thankful to the large group of volunteers that come out to help run the games at the carnival. They are a great group of students from Berlin High School. Our carnival would not be possible without their help each year. We also had several students from McGee Middle School who also helped with running some of the games. Thank you to the teachers, staff and parents who volunteered with running games, bouncers, and the food booth. And thank you to all the parents, grandparents and guardians who brought the students to the carnival. A great time was had by all.
SCOUTS HONORED Doreen Letendre, Shannon Sweitzer, Andrea Cofrancesco Carnival co-chairs Overdue thanks To the editor: This notice is long overdue; however, I did not want this praise to go unsaid. We had a long and hard winter and I feel the Public Works Department did an excellent job keeping the roads plowed and clean. I especially appreciated the fact that a path was always plowed for the walkers and their dogs at Timberlin Golf Course. Thanks again. Lynn Fazzino Berlin

*The Annual Percentage Rate (APR) of 2.75% is variable based on the Prime Rate as published in The Wall Street Journal (3.25% as of May 8, 2014) minus 0.25% plus an additional 0.25% rate discount when you arrange to have payments made automatically through ACH from your Farmington Bank personal checking account. If you cancel the auto pay during the life of the loan, the APR will revert back to Prime minus 0.25%. Without automatic payments from a Farmington Bank personal checking account, the APR would be 3.00% variable based on the Prime Rate minus 0.25% as stated above. The APR may vary and your minimum payment may increase or decrease.

The APR can never go below 0% with a maximum of 18%. A $50 annual fee applies. If you close (terminate) your Home Equity Line of Credit within 24 months of the original note date, an early termination fee will be imposed. The early termination fee will be the lesser of: Two (2) percent of the line amount or $500.00. There are no application fees on line amounts of $10,000 -$500,000.

will cooperate this week,” Smith said. The former shop area is substantially complete, with lights and floors installed, and Smart Boards to be installed this week. The acoustical isolation system, which will separate classrooms from the gym, has been a challenge but is now installed and will keep the gym from causing noise in the classrooms. For the next school year, Patterson Way from Lower Lane to Farmington Avenue will be a one-way street during school hours. This decision came from
the Police Commission, Smith said, and is something that will be tried out next year to improve traffic flow. Mayor Rachel Rochette said that communication with parents is going to be “critical” to make sure everyone is aware of the change. Smith said the Board of Education plans to send a letter to all BHS parents, and Rochette suggested all residents near Patterson Way should receive the letter as well. The renovation work is going very well, according to Smith’s report. “It’s a bright, lively space,” he said.

Sports Undefeated week for BHS golfers By Nate Brown The Berlin Citizen
Girls golf The three-time defending state champions continued to prove why they hold that title last week, defeating multiple opponents in consecutive days to improve to 14-1 on the season. The girls began the week with a strong tri-match victory over both Manchester and Farmington, winning easily by a final count of 170206-207, respectively. Junior Ashley D’Attilio was named the medalist after scoring a strong 37 out on the course. The Lady Redcoats continued their dominance over a strong Avon team by wiping the course with them, 169-183. Although Avon had the top individual (Marissa Grillo, who shot a 36), Berlin’s collective talent was able to best its opponents at Timberlin Golf Course. The girls concluded their strong week with a 140-208 manhandling of Middletown. Junior Julia Kemmling shot a jaw-dropping 31 at Lyman Orchards Apple Nine in Middlefield to be named the medalist for the match. Boys golf After some early season struggles, the Redcoats have been mowing down their competition as of late, using a 3-0 week to improve to 13-4 this season. The Redcoats began their week with a strong 168-187
tage. Senior Dave Condon allowed only one run to earn the victory. The Redcoats continued their strong play with a come-from-behind victory over the Spartans of Maloney. Despite an early 1-0 lead, the Redcoats fell behind 4-1 after four with the score remaining that way until the decisive seventh inning. Berlin scored six runs in the top of the final frame to take back control of the game before slamming the door shut on the Spartans. Although outhit by their opponents, the Redcoats were patient at the plate, using Maloney’s weak defensive play against itself; every Berlin run was unearned thanks in part to four Spartan errors. Senior captain Kyle Naples walked away with the victory.

Senior Austin Forauer shot a 38 at Hunters Golf Course in Meriden to claim the match’s medalist crown. The boys finished their week with an impressive 160-224 victory, this match also played at Hunters in Meriden. The score proved to be one of the team’s best, as the Redcoats have shot at the 160 plateau only one other time in the regular season (158 against Plainville, April 28). The team will have a huge opportunity to prove itself against some of the CCC’s finest when they face the likes of Conard, Hall, and Glastonbury on June 2.
Several standouts leading Lady ’Coats By Jim Bransfield Special to The Citizen
Berlin High’s softball team has turned in another very good season. At 12-5 with three games remaining, there’s a reasonable chance the Lady Redcoats could have a 15-win season. But by Berlin standards, that maybe is a tad short of expectations. Even coach Jason Pires is a little bit disappointed. “When we were 12-4, I thought we’d be a little bit better than that,” said Pires. “But we had a bad week in which we lost three in a row to Maloney, Coginchaug and Newington, all good teams. We turned it around after that. “I thought after 16 games we might be 14-2. But 12-4 is not far off.” Berlin had high expectations coming in. The majority of the Lady Redcoats returned from a 17-3 regular season and an appearance in the semifinal round in Class L in 2013, losing to Masuk of Monroe 2-1. But Central Connecticut Conference South Division rival Maloney of Meriden turned out to be more than the Lady Redcoats could handle as the Spartans swept the season series, including a 4-1 decision last week. This week, Berlin had home games Tuesday with Plainville and a double header with Middletown Thursday, all games
in which the Lady Redcoats were favored. Makayla Harris is the club’s pitcher and her record, 12-5, is the same as the team’s. In statistics last week, Harris had an earned run average of 1.93 and had over 100 strikeouts. All of her starts have been complete games. “Our defense has been a little inconsistent,” said Pires. “So we’ve given up more runs this year. A big part of our success has been our offense in that we have averaged over 11 runs a game.” Harris, an All-State player in 2013, has been a big contributor on offense. Going to the Maloney game, she was hitting .480 with 32 runs batted in. “She should be All-State again,” said Pires of his ace, who will attend Malloy College on Long Island in the fall. “Her offense is much improved. We moved her to leadoff because she’s our best player.” Courtney Silvia, who is a captain along with Harris and Amanda Patterson, was hitting .517 and scored 29 times through 16 games. “Silvia is our center fielder and she hasn’t made an error all season,” said Pires of his top hitter who will be an art major at the University of Hartford in the fall. “She’s a quirky player in that nothing fazes her. She’s big game player whom we can count on See Standouts / Page 29

Berlin dropped a difficult matchup to Tolland, 4-3, before ending the season by wiping the floor with rival Plainville, 7-0. Rombola finished the regular season undefeated as the team claimed the CCC South Division title with a 6-0 record.

“She’s an outstanding player,” said Pires. “She is also a leader on the field and a big-time player. I’m pushing her for All-State.” Katie Guild is the Lady Redcoats’ first-baseman and she was hitting .434 through 16 games and has 16 extra base hits. She is second on the team with 25 runs scored and has a slugging average of over .800. “We asked her to play first base,” said Pires. “She gave up pitching to concentrate on the infield and we moved her from third to first. I expect her to lead team next year.” Berlin will begin play in the CIAC Class L tournament next week.
