Hawthorne Inn could be redeveloped By Jesse Buchanan Special to The Citizen
The Hawthorne Inn building on the Berlin Turnpike could be demolished under one offer made on the fiveacre property. One offer has been submitted and two more are expected soon, said Joe Granato, a broker with American Brokers & Consultants 4 Restaurants. Two of the suggested plans include redeveloping the property. The Hawthorne Restaurant closed in July. It’s been on the market for about three months and is listed for $1.9 million. “We are pretty close to making a deal,” Granato said. Ideas for redevelopment
include a banquet facility and medical offices. Granato believes there are too many restaurants in the area so he is marketing the property as a banquet facility. “A restaurant on that location was good 30 years ago,” Granato said. “Now that (the turnpike) has made a comeback over the years, it’s like running a gauntlet. It makes sense for a banquet facility because of all the hotels in the area.” The Grelak family owned the inn for 65 years and offered a banquet facility, catering, a lounge, and a restaurant. Hotelier Syed Bokhari bought The Hawthorne in August 2010 for $1.8 Mayor Rachel Rochette, center, left, with scissors, at the ribbon cutting ceremony for Depot Crossing. | Ken Liebeskind / The Berlin Citizen See Inn / Page 11
Native historian publishes first book By Charles Kreutzkamp The Berlin Citizen
“Any time I can help tell the Connecticut story I look forward to it,” said Major Jason Warren, a Berlin native who earned his Ph.D. at Ohio State University in 2011. Warren, whose previous publications include articles and book chapters, recently published his first book, about King Philip’s War, which Warren calls the Great Narragansett War, highlighting the importance of the Narragansetts, the largest native tribe in southern New England. Warren focuses on events surrounding the conflict in very early American history,
c i rc a 1675. The conflict remains, Warren explained, one of the bloodiest, per capita, in American Warren history. Warren said he was able to find some connection to settlements that would one day become Berlin in his research. “I grew up in Berlin, my parents still live in town,” the author said in a phone interview. “Even though Berlin wasn’t settled yet, it was called the See Book / Page 8
Depot Crossing opens, apartments going ‘like hotcakes’ Ken Liebeskind The Berlin Citizen A ribbon cutting ceremony to officially open Depot Crossing, a mixed use property on Farmington Avenue, was held Oct. 15 with Lt. Gov. Nancy Wyman offering congratulatory comments. “This is the kind of housing and retail space we need,” she said. “It’s near a train station and there’s activity all around. It improves Berlin and makes Connecticut a better state.” Depot Crossing is a threestory building with 12 apartments available on the second and third floors and 8,900 square feet of commercial space on the ground floor. Four of the apartments will be rented at affordable rates,
which is at or below 60 percent of the median income level. Seven apartments have already been rented, including three affordable units. “They’re going like hotcakes,” said Martin Legault, president/CEO of CIL, the developer behind the project. “The apartments are being rented by young adults in their mid-20s and town residents in their upper 60s who want to stay in town for the central location,” he said. “There are not a lot of rentals in Berlin.” Mayor Rachel Rochette said, “It’s been a long time coming and it’s a collaborative effort. We’ve taken a blighted building and turned it around.” Financial aid from the state was instrumental in the de-
velopment of the property. The Connecticut Financial Housing Authority loaned $1 million. “It was lent through the Connecticut Investment Housing Fund as a second mortgage,” said Dara Kovel, vice president of multifamily housing for the CFHA. “It was the exact amount needed to make a difference.” Legault said none of the commercial space has been rented yet. Up to four commercial properties are available on both sides of the building. “It’s open space and we can put up dividing walls based on the needs of the tenants,” he said. The market rate rents for the apartments are $900 for one bedrooms and $1,200 for See Opens / Page 8

The Berlin Police Association and Union represents the men and women that work in the Berlin Police Department. We are asking for your support in the upcoming referendum concerning the new Police Department. In 1955, a formal police department was formed in Berlin. Since that time, the Berlin Police Department has grown from three (3) constables to forty-one (41) full time officers, nine (9) civilian dispatchers, one (1) administrative assistant to the Chief, two (2) records clerks, and one (1) technical support administrator. In 1972 we moved into the basement of the Town Hall. This facility served us well throughout the years and we have made due and rearranged space to accommodate our needs. Unfortunately, it has become harder and harder to provide the professional services that the town has come to expect of us and deserves in our current space. We have given you the chance to take a tour of the facility or watch a virtual tour on the Berlin Citizen website to better understand the situation we are in. The town building committee has worked diligently with architects and construction specialist to develop a building and site plan to better serve our community while keeping costs to a minimum and in line with what the other communities have spent for similar projects. The new police station is designed to house our current operation more effectively and to afford some room for growth. The new facility addresses the deficiencies, some of which were mentioned in a needs assessment report that was done 5 years ago. The new facility will improve efficiency in the office space, staff areas, and storage. It will also provide interview rooms to allow us to protect the privacy of victims, training space to maintain our skills and a community room to interact with town residents. We are the medical first responders and an accredited law enforcement organization that knows it is better to be proactive then reactive. Throughout the years we have acquired equipment to be able to provide the peace and tranquility that you are accustomed to, and better serve the community. This is an important matter that will affect our abilities to serve the community, fight crime and do our jobs effectively.

For some who have trouble digesting wheat, the exact nature of the disease is not well understood, but for individuals diagnosed with celiac disease, gluten is the culprit. Gluten is a protein contained in wheat, rye, and barley that is present in all wheat products, so avoiding gluten means avoiding wheat entirely. Gluten is found in most bread products and pasta, but it is also known to hide in surprising places. The protein is useful both in baking and as

Probate courts expand accessibility Connecticut’s Probate Courts recently expanded resources for disabled court users under the federal Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA). Berlin has its own probate court that now has an ADA contact who is responsible for answering questions and handling requests for court accommodations. This could include, State Probate Court Manager of Communications Vincent Russo explained, needs such as translating documents into braille or “if you need a magnifier or a pocket talker; that sort of equipment.� “The Probate Courts are always looking for ways to
make access to the courts and participation in proceedings as smooth as possible for individuals with mental and physical challenges,� Probate Court Administrator Paul J. Knierim said in a statement. “By expanding and coordinating ADA resources, the courts have simplified the process for seeking an accommodation, which advances our commitment to providing full and equal access to justice for all who use the Probate Courts.� “We have always tried to make our courts as accessible as possible,� Russo said, but the changes include helping to share equipment between courts to increase accessibility. Shared equipment also keeps costs lower, Russo
added. One of the new changes is a form available on the court website that allows individuals to request an accommodation. Russo said the courts will still take requests communicated by phone, but the form enables individuals to request what they will need. Court officials cannot always legally ask about special accommodations due to privacy laws, Russo explained, and the new forms is a voluntary way those who need special accommodations can communicate them. Russo said that access to the courts by disabled persons is especially important “because a lot of disabled (persons) rely on our courts,� including the elderly suf-

two bedrooms. The rates are $698 and $815. Rochette said the four affordable units help the town approach the state’s 10 percent affordable housing mandate. “We have a ways to go to meet the rate but anything we can do to move toward the goal is helpful,” the mayor said.
Beckley Quarter, unsettled frontier between Wethersfield and Wallingford,” Warren explained. The old Beckley Quarter stood near where Demming road is now, Warren said. The old Beckley House played a small role in events in Warren’s book. The owner, Richard Seymour, encountered some friendly Quinnipiac natives. According to Warren’s book, policies that allowed for an alliance with the friendly Mohegans and Pequots are among the reasons Connecticut emerged from the war relatively unscathed compared to other colonies. “These Indians that are staying at this Beckley farmstead end up finding a farmstead that is burned to the ground by hostile natives,” Warren said, and then they continue to warn Wallingford of the presence of hostile natives in the area. This event is just one example of how friendly relations with

indigenous people helped Connecticut during the war. “Having grown up in Connecticut, and specifically Kensington, the colonial time period always fascinated me,” Warren said. When Warren was an altar boy at St. Paul’s Church, one of the ministers gave him his first book on King Philip’s War, and he became hooked on history. In graduate school, when searching to find an angle to say something new about the historical record, Warren found that “nobody had adequately told Connecticut’s story” in the conflict. Writing history books is “all about narratives,” Warren said, and one of the most challenging things is taking in historical documents and turning them into something coherent. One of the reasons Connecticut wasn’t featured in much of the other literature about the war is that violence in Connecticut was much less significant than in neighboring colonies, but Warren said that the ques-

tion of why that was is worth answering. One of the major losses of the war involved Simsbury being burned to the ground in March of 1676, but the town had already been abandoned so the loss of life and property was small. Connecticut’s positive relations with natives allowed the state to enlist natives to fight on its side. “As I started to look at what Connecticut’s actions were in the war, it became clear to me it was actually the Connecti-
cut colony’s actions in the war that allowed for a colonial victory,” Warren said. The most challenging part of writing the book, according to Warren, was “capturing that elusive Native Indian story,” and part of what makes Warren’s approach unique is his focus on anthropology and archeology in helping to tell the natives’ story. “There is no written word, but I can still get at their culture and history by using those artifacts,” Warren said.

‘No’ on police station To the editor: I would like to take this time to respond to some misconceptions and comments made by Democrat Town Councilor members in regards to the proposed Police Station in today’s local news (10/16/2014). Town Councilor William Rasmussen is quoted as saying: “Republicans have cho-
sen to remain part of the problem and have suggested that downsizing the police force and disposing of weapons to reduce the need for storage space is something to explore.” This is utterly and completely false, and Mr. Rasmussen should know better. Not one Republican Town Councilor has advocated for the disposal of weapons to reduce the need for storage space. Period! And why is asking questions or having a different opinion, “part of the problem”? The Democrat leadership has stood behind a proposal, that has not given the taxpayers any options whatsoever, and continually use our antiquated town charter as a fall back position as to why no other options have been considered. Their way is always the best way, and if you disagree, well then, you’re the problem. Also, Mr. Rasmussen said, “Democrats on the council have been consistent in our efforts to provide information regarding a proposed solution to a public safety issue that the town of Berlin faces, and we have given the voters an opportunity to vote yes or no on the project.” The Democrat leadership did not give the voters of Berlin the opportunity to vote yes or no on this project. If a petition was not taken out, you would not have been given this chance. Not one Democrat town leader on
the Town Council or Berlin Democratic Town Committee signed the petition that will give you that chance to vote yes or no on this project as presented at $21 million. I consider this shameful. Thanks to Republicans, you now have that chance to let your voice be heard. Brenden Luddy Republican To w n Councilor To the editor: As a former Berlin police officer, for 35 years, as well as a former Berlin Town Councilor and a past member of the Police Commission, I feel it is necessary for me to voice my opinion regarding the proposed new police building. There is no doubt in my mind that the police department expansion is necessary if the department is to continue to do a great job. That being said, we need to look at the cost. When first proposed, the cost was to be about $7 million, which quickly jumped to $9 million. Now it is up to $21 million. And to top that off, it is planned to be built on the main street in town; a great place for future taxable business. We need to look into other ideas. Next year, we will be paying for the $100 million-plus high school. Taxes will go through the roof. Add to that, the new police building, and taxes will be astronomical. Do not hinder our police officers, but do consider

other alternatives. Vote “no.” Richard A. Rampone Berlin To the editor: On election day I am voting “no” on the referendum. The Democrat-pushed project is too much. Do we think the town leaders can keep this project at budget when the high school project is already $13.5 million over budget at this stage – $13.5 million! It seems our current leadership in town does not have any concerns about controlling costs or about the impact on the taxpayer. It’s too bad that an affordable option was not put forth for the taxpayers, but the town has been spending too much and I do not have confidence in the Democratically-controlled Town Council. Anne Reilly BRTC Chairperson To the editor: After reading some of the recent Letters to the Editor regarding the proposed “new” Berlin Police Station, one would believe: if you do not vote for this new facility – you must be an ignorant, ill-informed, and a misled individual. Really? I suppose that in their frenzied, emotional panic, some folks would have you believe that. They are missing the point. Opposition is to the proposed facility, its size, and the overwhelming cost of $21 million that have the voters’ attention. The recent fiasco regarding the high school renovations, with its massive budget cost, overruns in the millions, have left the voters disheartened and angry. The new police station, with its 34,000 square foot proposal and adjacent 2,000 square foot building is based on a 50-year look out. Where are the proposals for 25 or 15 years? What do they look like? Why are we not reviewing them? To vote no on this proposal is not a vote against the police. It is a vote for common sense. We support the police, we want to improve and upgrade their facility, but we want it done within reason. Joan Veley
Former Town Councilor To the editor: Berlin citizens are confronted with little time and not enough detailed information by the Town Council for the upcoming Nov. 4 referendum – new police station, $21 million bond. I support the need for more space and updating; location is my issue. The proposed, or already decided, Farmington Avenue will take the space from the most prime commercial real state. If, in conjunction with the train station area, we bring a developer with a national chain anchor store, bring other smaller retail businesses, then you have a commercial center that will increase our tax base. Business generates revenue, government only expenses. Peter S. Dizes Berlin
“Yes” on police station To the editor: This is the fifth time that official space requirements have been submitted and funding requested in order to build a new police station. And with the rocky start to renovating Berlin High School, the timing to consider funding the new police station could not be worse. That said, the need to expand the physical structure to accommodate our Berlin Police Department is still present. Two things that are the cornerstone to a great community environment are the town’s school system and public safety. It reflects greatly in the relative value of the homes we live in and safety of our community at large with the costs of both supported by the property taxes we all pay. Each and every year the costs for everything that we purchase will increase. This will be true of constructing a new police station if we again defer to move forward. The new police station See Letters / Page 13

is needed. All pretty much agree the need is there. Yet the timing is not optimal. However the cost of borrowing the money in order to address the construction is at historically low-levels. Additionally, the size of our police force has grown to meet the challenges the Town of Berlin faces when protecting its citizens. Technology in terms of the potential fraud and personal safety issues of both the elderly and young using the Internet have exploded. The cost and sophistication of the tools needed by the police department has expanded as well in order to fight rising cyber-crime. This, coupled with increased automobile traffic and congestion on our roads, has been met by expanded patrols to ensure proper safety and enforcement. The Berlin Police Commissioners humbly ask that you support the requirements for the Berlin Police Department
building. The police headquarters is sorely needed. The officers need the building to better serve our citizens. Jo s e p h A n n u n z i a t a , Chairman Paul Eshoo Brad Parsons To the editor: Regarding the proposed new police facility in Berlin, I believe a compelling case has been established to support such a project. Our current police headquarters, designed in the early 70’s, is woefully inadequate, and has been for many years. The 55 officers, dispatchers and civilians of the Berlin Police Department do an excellent job protecting this community. They respond to 33,000 incidents per year. Many are serious motor vehicle accidents, medical emergencies, and violent crimes. They need and deserve a modern, well-equipped and functional building in which to operate, not a 1974 model. The proposal before Berlin voters on Nov. 4 is the cul-
mination of years of assessments, studies, reviews and planning by our local government officials and an architectural firm that specializes in police complexes. This new facility will accommodate the needs of our police department and community for 40 years. Yes, this is an expensive undertaking, priced at $21 million. But, please consider this: for a Berlin home valued at $250,000, the tax bite for 2017/18 would be 37 cents per day. Richard F. Benson Berlin

Sports BHS girls soccer: Division champs By Jim Bransfield Special to The Citizen
Coaches almost always find things to worry about. Coaches almost always say the team can do better. Not this night. Not this coach. Berlin girls soccer coach Steve Yanosy couldn’t find enough good things to say about his team’s brilliant, Central Connecticut Conference South division 2-0 win over Middletown at Middletown High’s Rosek-Skubel Stadium Monday. The win clinched at least a tie for the CCC South crown and a win or tie over Plainville Wednesday, Oct. 22 would formally confirm the championship. “The kids were tremendous tonight,” said Yanosy as his team improved to 12-2-1, 12-0-1 in the CCC South. “We played with a lot of pride and a lot of heart. The kids on the
bench were as much in the game as the starters, cheering all night. “Everyone knew what this game was about. We played a 1-1 tie with Middletown earlier and this was a great soccer game. I couldn’t be prouder of the effort, the attitude and the performance.” This was a 0-0 game at the half, due to great goaltending by Middletown keeper Amy Kozlowski. Without her effort, this might have been a 3-0 game at the break. “I wasn’t frustrated,” said Yanosy. “Their keeper made some clutch first-half saves. We told the kids to keep working and it came down to big plays.” Berlin got its first goal from senior Sarah Bosco off a pass from junior Sophia Morrell with 29:15 left. The Redcoats put the game away on another Bo-
’Coats Notes: Big week for gridders, girls XC By Nate Brown The Berlin Citizen
Football The Redcoats improved to 6-0 in their 2014 campaign with a strong 30-8 victory over Plainville at Sage Park on Friday night. Berlin jumped on their foes early, taking a 16-0 lead after the first quarter and never let up. Junior Owen Taylor got the Redcoats on the scoreboard with a 25-yard run, as senior Paul Fontes recorded the extra point. Senior Eric Garcia was the next to strike, scoring on a 45-yard scramble. Fontes’ extra point increased the team’s lead to 14-0. After being forced to punt, Berlin was able to pin the Blue Devils back inside their own five yard line to help set up a safety that occurred when Plainville snapped the ball through the back of the end zone. Following a scoreless second quarter, the Redcoats seemed to be headed to an easy victory over a Blue Devil team that struggled to move the ball the first 24 minutes of play. Yet a quick score by Plainville in the third cut Berlin’s lead to 16-8.

Plainville foes. Garcia led the charge on offense with 97 rushing and 57 receiving yards throughout the contest. Taylor added 83 rushing yards and a gamehigh 12 tackles on the defensive side. Senior Cornelius Roberts and sophomore Mitch Maslowski also helped shut down Plainville on defense, recording seven tackles (1 sack) and three tackles and an interception, respectively. The Redcoats will travel to West Hartford this Saturday to take on the Indians of Northwest Catholic (6-0). The game will begin at 10:30 a.m. at Northwest Catholic High School. Boys soccer The Redcoats completed a 0-1-1 week to bring their overall record to 3-6-4 with only three matches remaining in the regular season. The team began its week
25-16). Senior Abbie Underwood led the way for the Redcoats with six kills, eight digs, and a perfect 9-for-9 on serves that resulted in one ace. The BHS girls ended their week on a high note, besting Bloomfield 3-0 (25-10, 25-13, 25-15). Junior Megan Pskowski had an impressive match, recording 10 kills and two blocks. Setters senior Nidhi Patel and junior Julia Lagace also performed well in the victory, recording 18 and 12 assists, respectively. Underwood recorded 10 kills and five service aces.
