Storm season is upon us – get prepared By Charles Kreutzkamp The Berlin Citizen
There is a 70 percent change a Category III hurricane will one day come to Connecticut, according to Robert Scata of the Connecticut Department of Emergency Management and Homeland Security. Specif ically, Scata explained, water temperatures are such that a Category III hurricane set on a path to Connecticut has, in general, a 70 percent chance of making landfall. New England has had numerous hurricanes make landfall over the years, including the recent Hurricane Irene, a Category III storm at peak intensity. Irene resulted in 16 deaths.
Ten people attended a seminar on emergency preparedness Scata presented at the Berlin-Peck Memorial Library the afternoon of Sept. 23. Attendees were told Connecticut features a number of challenges in emergencies. “We have seven strikes against us,” Scata said, explaining that these strikes were the four seasons and times of day: morning, evening, and night. Emergency management plans must be “living documents” Scata said, and flexible enough to address a wide variety of scenarios. Connecticut must be prepared for hurricanes, tornadoes, blizzards, and other See Storm / Page 6

Another successful year at Animals still a big the Berlin fairgrounds part of the fair By Charles Kreutzkamp The Berlin Citizen
The agricultural roots of the Berlin Fair still show with the cows, chickens, rabbits, and sheep who compete for best in their breed and best in show. This year, first time entrant Tara Eggleton took home best in show for the rabbit she raised. Kathy Thomas, who volunteered at the rabbit pavilion, explained that rabbits are entered in two categories: pets and American Rabbit Breeders’ Association rabbits. Entrants are judged on the standard for each
breed. Judges look at how well kept the rabbit is, friendliness, the quality of the coat, nails, and other characteristics. Eggleton, 18, said that she started being interested in raising rabbits four years ago. “I like being able to try to achieve the top,” Eggleton said. Rabbits shared space with chickens, which were judged for the condition of their feet, beaks, feathers, the waddle, and the “saddle” – the feathers coming off of the chicken’s back. The roosters’ combs are See Animals / Page 7

The Berlin Fair had a great turnout in spite of rain on Saturday, Oct. 4, according to Lions Club President Gary Bienkowski. Some food booths nearly sold out by Sunday afternoon. “Friday was a banner day, near record turnout,” Bienkowski said. “It never fails, it always rains one day of the fair,” Bienkowski added, but the Lions did what they could to increase turnout, relocating the Lo Cash Cowboys to an indoor pavilion and getting the word out on social media that free admission was being offered for that evening. This improved turnout a bit, Bien-
kowski said. “Today was a repeat of Friday,” Bienkowski said Sunday, Oct. 5. “I think everyone is having a great time.” Boy Scout Troop 41 leader Michael Paul said that their steamed cheeseburger booth did “excellent, very good on Friday but horrible on Saturday,” and that they were nearing selling out of their stock, with only 150 burgers remaining in the early afternoon out of the 1,000 originally purchased. Berlin Fire Department firefighter Dave Pethigal said that sales of the department’s specialty – freedom fries – were about average. UpBeat Volunteers at the Berlin Lions Memorial Pool
Food Court said that they were “very busy, lots of customers.” UpBeat students Max Wade, Vinny Biscoglio, and Connor Ladd have been volunteering at the both for three years. “It’s fun, I like helping out and it’s good for the club,” Wade said. “Friday I believe we did good, but yesterday was kind of drab,” another added. Superintendent of Schools David Erwin was hard at work cooking at the booth. “UpBeat is a great organization … Alice Mitchell gets everyone involved,” Erwin said. Erwin has been with the district for five years, and has been cooking See Fairgrounds / Page 8

Hair-raising entertainment aplenty By Charles Kreutzkamp
The “Globe of Death” was the favorite of attendee Jeff Leone, who said the most impressive part of the act was when two Nocks on motorcycles rode inside a small steel globe at high speeds, narrowly avoiding one another. The Nocks also performed three other tricks, including the “aerial fabric,” a cloth-climbing ballet, stacking 10 chairs while standing on them and performing a hand-stand, and the “Giant

poles was a task involved in setting up enormous circus tents. Michaelangelo Nock said that the fair had a great crowd this year. Nock said it was great to come to a “good old county fair,” as he greeted fans after the show.
The stunt show itself featured a number of death-defying acts, “with no safety devices,” Nock said, apart from motorcycle helmets, “He’s a daredevil, but even when you’re riding on the street, always wear a helmet, my friends.”

Entertainment at this year’s Berlin Fair drew large crowds excited to see the Painted Pony Rodeo with the wisecracking rodeo clown Dusty, the champion Frisbee dogs of Disc-Connected K-9’s, and the aerial stunt show of the Nerveless Nocks. “It was awesome,” said Dan Koppel, talking about the Nerveless Nocks’ show. Koppel’s 9-year-old son Deron said the most impressive trick to him was the sway poles, “because they were just hanging by their toes, and then they flew down and stopped right before they crashed.” “It was very good. The poles were the most impressive – that got me actually nervous,” David Brink said, referring to the moment when the Nocks descended from the tall steel poles headfirst and stopped short just in time. The sway poles is the Nocks’ signature stunt, developed more than 100 years ago when the family were circus performers and climbing

Michaelangelo Nock performed the stunt himself, which included jumping rope on a huge, spinning wheel. “We are so happy to be here,” Nock said. “The Lions Club runs a great show, very professional. We drove here all the way from California.”

Every year some of the most talented area woodcarvers return with new items, some of which are “very intricate,” Guzzardi said, like the prize-winning wooden early 20th century automobile. This wooden car was constructed from both light and dark woods to form the car’s body, engine grill, and

wheels, in addition to small touches of other materials, like the red brake lights. Entered paintings range from amateur to professional level, Guzzardi said. The fair’s judges are carefully selected for their expertise. The art judge, for example, is a jury artist who shows his paintings statewide, and the wood judge is a “master carpenter” who has judged the wood entries for more than a decade, Guzzardi explained. Although overall turnout to many craft contests was high, with entries ranging from a large wooden bear to a scarecrow of Elsa from “Frozen,” turnout for the photo contest has declined in recent years, according to volunteer Dan See Crafts / Page 5

Dear Town Manager, Chief of Police, and Town Council Members: While the Berlin Republican Town Committee fully supports action that would eliminate the acute space shortage at the Police Department, we strongly feel that additional information needs to be provided to the voters of Berlin in order for them to make an informed, intelligent choice with regard to the proposed $21M bond for new 32,000 plus square foot Police Station. We respectively ask that you provide public answers (in print) to the following questions prior to the November election and referendum:
LEGAL NOTICE TO THE CUSTOMERS OF THE WATER CONTROL COMMISSION Water/Sewer usage bills for October 1, 2014 are being mailed out. If you do not receive your bill please call 860-828-7106 at once for a duplicate, thus avoiding delinquent interest charges. BILL MUST BE PAID OR POSTMARKED BY NOVEMBER 3, 2014. On November 4,2014 delinquent interest will apply at the rate of 1 ½ % per month as of October 1, 2014.
1. A number of measures such as cost per square foot, square feet (per population), square feet (per officer) seems to place Berlin’s design at the high end when compared to similar towns. Including towns like Darien and New Canaan, in the averages, seems disingenuous given the median family income in those towns is twice that of Berlin. Please discuss in detail why Berlin needs a larger Police department building than neighboring Newington or Wethersfield, whose populations are larger. 2. What is the future tax burden going to be over the next five years incorporating the high school, police department and the Mattabassett Sewer District upgrades? Please use the current Grand List and mill rate to demonstrate the impact to a taxpayer with a $250,000 house.
Please note the October 1, 2014 bill reflects the new sewer rate increase as approved at the Water Control Commission Public hearing dated June 24, 2014 as follows:
3. As this project was being discussed in the past seven years, why was not a renovation or expansion of the existing police department not even mentioned or reviewed until December 2013, and by the same architect who will be paid vastly more by new construction versus renovation and expansion and (or reviewed by an independent committee)?
SEWER USAGE- $4.72 per 100 cubic feet of metered water SEWER ONLY- Flat Rate $187.50 WATER RATE- (UNCHANGED) $3.12 per 100 cubic feet of metered water.
4. If the police station is built, how will the existing police station space be utilized, and how much will that renovation cost? 5. Many council members have mentioned that the police department will enhance economic activity in Berlin if it is moved to the current location. Please share with us the details of the economic analysis that supports this position. What economic study proves that?
Payments accepted at: Town Hall Revenue Office- Room 22 240 Kensington Road Berlin, CT 06037
6. Given Connecticut still lags the nation with regard to economic recovery, please explain why an alternative that looks at the department’s needs over the next 20 years, versus the current 50 year proposal is not being evaluated. Can we look at a police department that is not as large, and looks at needs over 20 years versus 50 years? And is the size and scope of this building necessary?

could easily implement right away. For example, Scata advised that those with cell phones create an emergency contact with the label “ICE,” which emergency responders know stands for “in case of emergency.” A second contact labeled “ICE2” is also a good idea, Scata said, and if you keep your phone password protected, it may be good to consider placing a sticker on it containing emergency contact information. Scata also suggested that if personal information is kept in a USB drive, the drive should be encrypted and password-protected. In the event of an extended power outage, having batteries on hand and a cheap battery-powered or crank radio can keep you informed of emergency information broadcast on A.M. frequencies.

It is also important to ensure that pet food is stocked. Scata said to set aside seven days worth of food, and mark the expiration date in large letters with a permanent marker.
Other cheap emergency supplies include a car charger for phones, which can be used in the event of an extended power outage, and LED lights, which are “good to have when power goes out,” Scata said. Glow sticks are non flammable, non toxic, and float, and have a long shelf life. “I’ve had one that expired in 1999, and it only lasted eight hours instead of 12, but it still worked,” Scata said. It can also be useful to set aside aluminum foil and a

Crowds of delighted children gathered around a display of fresh chicks Campanelli brought to the fair. These chickens, which just arrived through the postal service from Pennsylvania, are raised for meat and mature in a matter of months. A petition started by local resident Trish Larson was displayed prominently along with the chickens. Larson advocates a change to the Berlin zoning regulations that would allow more locals to keep chickens in their back yard, as is the case in some neighboring towns. The cur-

According to the Connecticut Guide to Emergency Preparedness, the following supplies should be set aside as an emergency supply kit, packed in a bag or container. At minimum it is advised to have supplies for three days. • Water, one gallon per person for each day. More water will be needed in hot weather and for children. • Food in cans or sealed packages that do not require refrigeration. • A manual can opener, paper plates, plastic utensils, and something to cook on such as a gas stove with fuel. Use outdoors to avoid hazardous gases. • Paper towels, toilet paper, soap. • Battery-powered radio, flashlights, and cell phone with extra batteries. • Blanket/Sleeping bag, pillows for everyone in the family. • Extra clothing for everyone in the family. • Things babies and children need: diapers, games, toys, books. • First aid kit, including medicines, prescriptions, eye glass or contact lens supplies, a list of your doctors, and other medical supplies such as insulin and syringes or colostomy supplies. • Garbage bags and cleaning supplies. • Pet supplies: food, water, carriers, leashes, ID tags with immunization records. • Extra set of car keys, credit cards, cash, and copies of vital documents (or EFFAK packet). • Pictures of family and pets in case you are separated and need help looking for them.

During a recent major power outage, some gas stations had generators and were able to pump gas, but credit card machines were down, Scata said. “I thought it was excellent and very informative,” Linda Miga, who attended the presentation, said. Gail Spitnale, who recently moved to the state from Texas, previously attended a similar seminar and found the information enlightening. “Everyone should come to something like this,” Spitnale said. “It gives seniors a chance to learn more about how to take care of themselves in today’s world.”

in the booth for five years as well. The Berlin VFW brought an informational booth to the fair for the first time this year, according to Post Commander Tom Uznanski. Uznanski explained that membership of the VFW has been in decline and that they’re trying to get the next generation involved. The fair booth generated a lot of interest and led to the joining of some new members already. “As an organization, Lions Club donated to Wounded Warriors, and we matched that. Membership of the VFW has been in decline as veterans age and they’re trying to get the next generation involved. The fair booth got a lot of interest and brought in some new members,” Uznanski said. “The State office of the VFW has been really supportive,” Uznanski said. The two top VFW leaders in the state were in attendance Oct. 3.

describing Mother Teresa as a well-meaning enemy of progress in India. Why? As a devout Catholic, she denounced artificial birth control, which, that critic charged, condemned many innocent babies to lives of utter misery. Two American-based missionary groups have been prominent in the news of Ebola in west Africa. One is Samaritan’s Purse, founded in 1970 by Bob Pierce who had launched World Vision twenty years earlier. Dr, Kent Brantly, 33, the first American to return to the United States with Ebola, worked with Samaritan’s Purse. When he recovered, Brantly stated: “I am more grateful every day to the Lord for saving my life. Please continue to pray for the suffering in the ongoing Ebola crisis in West Africa.” The humanitarian efforts of Samaritan’s Purse are commendable, but seri-
ous errors of judgment have been made by its current president, Frank Graham, son of Billy Graham. Among them was his description of Islam as “evil” and “wicked.” Such reckless public statements are exploited by Muslim extremists as proof that Christians are out to destroy their religion. Another major blunder was during the 1990-1991 Gulf War when Samaritan’s Purse boldly suggested that the United States military help distribute Arab-language New Testaments. This drew a rebuke from Gen. Norman Schwarzkopf and showed how little Graham’s group understood both America’s separation of church and state and intelligent evangelistic work in the Muslim world. The other missionary group, SIM, was founded in 1893 by three young men, two of whom died of malaria the next year. SIM originally meant “Sudan Interior Mission.” As its work expanded and it merged with other

groups it has come to mean “Serving in Mission.” Today SIM sends 1,600 missionaries to Africa, Asia and Latin America. Nancy Writebol, 59, was the second Ebola patient to be flown to Emory University Hospital in Atlanta. She and her husband were working with SIM in Liberia after thirteen years of serving orphans and widows in Ecuador and Zambia for Rafiki, another Christian missionary group. Like Brantley, she too, recovered from Ebola. Dr. Rick Sacra, 51, from central Massachusetts, also with Samaritan’s Purse, was the third Ebola patient flown to the United States, this time to the Nebraska Medical Center in Omaha. Most Americans, it appears, have not objected to bringing these courageous humanitarians back to the United States as long as they are carefully isolated during their recovery. One sharp critic, however, is Donald Trump who loudly trumpeted his view that it is “absolutely crazy” to allow Ebola-infected people into the country. Perhaps the Donald should stick to real estate. As for the President’s decision to send American troops to help the impacted nations deal with the horrendous disease, let’s hope that this decision is a wise one.

coupled with an abundance of new nest sites created by the public led to their resurgence. Today, it is not uncommon to see these beautiful raptors soaring overhead almost anywhere in Connecticut, carrying fish for their young and sticks for their nests. The osprey population is now strong, but Connecticut Audubon Society needs the help of residents throughout the state to ensure that it remains so. We are committed to continuing to work diligently with our team of stewards to keep track of osprey nests, for not only do we revere the beauty of these birds, but their health is a harbinger of ours. Through them we will be attuned to future environmental threats and human health hazards. Ospreys can still ingest DDT on their wintering grounds, so continued careful monitoring is important. Even more critical is that ospreys and the fish they eat from our waters are great monitors for any new and unknown toxic substances that might be out there. Ospreys are our charismatic canaries and are a critical first line of defense in monitoring our environment and ultimate human health. Together, we can continue to be stewards and advocates for these beautiSee Osprey / Page 13
Letter to the Editor A true professional To the editor: On March 6, 2014, Police Officer Joseph C. Linskey responded to an emergency call regarding the sudden passing of our mother and mother-in-law. Officer Linskey’s professionalism, competence and the many kindnesses and courtesies that he extended to us during that upsetting and sad morning helped us
immensely. Although this note of appreciation and gratitude is coming at a late date, we felt it important to publicly thank Officer Linskey and to acknowledge that we are extremely grateful and fortunate to have a man of his caliber on our outstanding Berlin police force.

Norton finished with impressive numbers from under center, completing 7-of-11 passes for 141 yards with the two touchdowns and no interceptions. Taylor (81 rushing yards, 47 receiving) and Sisti (56 rushing, 50 receiving) also had impressive performances as both boys surpassed the 100 yard mark in the contest. Aside from Stafstrom’s pick-six, the defensive unit enjoyed a strong all-around game.

Taylor and senior Jeremy Eliadas added five tackles apiece, while Sisti recorded four tackles and both forced and recovered a fumble.

Senior Alyssa Germano had quite the match, as the upperclassman finished with 14 digs, three kills, and a perfect 12-for-12 (two aces) on serving. Senior Abbie Underwood and junior Megan Pskowski both finished with 10 kills on the afternoon while senior Nidhi Patel (16) and junior Julia Lagace (12) led the team in assists. Unfortunately, the team couldn’t finish its short week undefeated as Berlin fell to the Rams of Bristol Central, 3-1 (14-25, 25-21, 25-21, 25-21). The Redcoats were only outscored by one (89-88) in total points for the match. Underwood finished her stellar outing with 12 kills, 20 digs, and four service aces. Pskowski also had a strong match, finishing with 10 kills, six digs, and two blocks.

one step closer towards the postseason thanks to an early win against rival Plainville before falling to Tolland to end their week. Berlin defended their home turf with a convincing 3-1 victory over the Blue Devils. Junior midfielder Sophia Morell led the way with two goals for the Redcoats while senior forward Sarah Bosco also contributed a goal. Junior goalkeeper Michael Dehm recorded three saves in net to help secure the victory. The Lady Redcoats fell to Tolland, 2-1, losing their first game since the season opener. Senior midfielder Cara Johnson was the only one to break through and score for Berlin, as their foes proved difficult to solve. Dehm recorded two saves, yet couldn’t slow down a strong Tolland team. Berlin’s record now stands at 6-2-1.
Girls swimming and diving The girls swim team remained undefeated with a 100-84 victory over Platt this past week. Sophomore Stephanie Humen had quite the day, as she finished first in three events: the 200 meter freestyle, the 200 medley relay, and the 500 freestyle.

Senior Kayla Cervoni, junior Valerie Sternberg, senior Kasia Kolc, and junior Alyssa Vasil placed third in the same event. Senior Holly Chirico and senior Kelsey Anderson placed second and fourth, respectively, in the 200 freestyle while Chirico and senior Courtney Nelson placed second and fourth in the 500 freestyle. Kozikowski, Cervoni, and Nelson finished first, third, and fifth in the 50 freestyle, with Cervoni’s time of 28.57 good enough to qualify her for states.

Boys soccer Another winless week dropped the Redcoats to 2-4-3 on the regular season as the team’s chances to make a playoff push continue to dwindle. The boys lost a tough 1-0 matchup against Plainville to begin their week. Although placing 10 shots on goal, none were able to find the back of the net throughout the contest. Senior goalkeeper Wojciech Kajzer played a fantastic game, recording eight saves. Berlin ended its week with a 0-0 gridlock game against Bloomfield. Kajzer was busy all night as the netminder recorded 11 saves. The Redcoats, however, were only
able to record four shots on goal themselves. After starting the season 2-2, the team has struggled to the tune of 0-2-3 over the past three weeks. While the defense has been stout for most of Berlin’s contests (opponents are only averaging 1.2 goals per game against the Redcoats), the boys have struggled to get on the same page offensively. The team has only mustered four goals the entire season.
