Students sampled a smörgåsbord of options that may become part of the regular menu at the Berlin High School cafeteria Sept. 18. High school held a grand opening for the cafeteria, scheduled a few weeks into the school year in order to give kids time to adjust before the event. According to Tim Prosinski, food service director for the district, the cafeteria has new equipment that brings exciting possibilities; new ways to make delicious foods that meet the Connecticut Healthy Food and Snack Initiative guidelines.

The cafeteria gave away food to students with the help of UpBeat volunteers, who surveyed other students on what they liked and what they didn’t. Prosinski said that help of UpBeat teens was critical in making sure the district got accurate feedback on some of the new options. “Kids will feel free to be more honest with other kids about what they liked and didn’t like,” Prosinski said. Among the new options is whole grain ravioli, a burger on a whole grain bun, and a few varieties of bean salad, including sweet cranberry and chipotle. The cafeteria will offer a lot of options to meet the regulations, which

require multiple categories of vegetables, as well as a requirement that all grains be at least 51 percent whole grain. Frito-Lay has created a special line of chips that meet the new rules. Prosinski praised BHS kitchen manager Wendy Rawlings. “She and the staff have done a wonderful job opening the new kitchen,” he said. “I love it,” Rawlings said of the new kitchen, saying that the new equipment for staff to learn brought with it exciting new possibilities. BHS student and UpBeat volunteer Ally Schulz said she thought the new cafeteSee Opening / Page 12

Evans argued Berlin’s police station should not be more expensive per square foot than building a police station in New York City. Humes responded that he was familiar with the data and that the process his firm uses to estimate costs of police station projects is more complex than simply referring to such data. Humes added that it was difficult to compare departSee Session / Page 11

Just over 40 people attended the new police department informational meeting Sept. 16, which includes police officers, town staff, officials, and residents. Chief of Police Paul Fitzgerald said the new police facility wasn’t only for police officers, but for the community as a whole, giving victims of crimes a private area to be interviewed, allowing members of the public to attend Police Commission meetings without entering a secure area, having ADA compliant bathrooms for crime victims and other police station visitors who require them, and having an area away from lockup for teachers and bus drivers to be fingerprinted. Fitzgerald called the current department “cramped, outmoded, and unsafe.” Attendees at the meeting heard from Architect Brian Humes, of Jacunski-Humes, which is responsible for the preliminary design of the new station. Humes clarified several points based on responses to the station design. “What Berlin is asking for is no different than neighboring communities,” said Humes, who described the design as “a facility that will give them an efficient, functional department. There are no frills in this.” Humes said his firm evaluated whether it would be cheaper to renovate and expand the existing facility, and also looked at reusing existing buildings in a variety of locations, including two former car dealerships. One limiting factor to renovate the existing facility is that the building was made according to 1973 building codes, Humes explained. Although the building is still code compliant, having been grandfathered in, a major renovation would trigger current building codes, which are more stringent. Police departments are classified as “essential facili-

ties,” requiring architects to “design to a higher classification,” Humes said. Codes require that a police department must be constructed to be hardier than the average building, with higher resistance to earthquakes, snow loads, extreme wind, and other natural disasters. Another factor that would greatly increase the cost of renovating the existing facility is the need to phase the construction project and to house police either on site or in a different location during renovations. “The cost of doing that on (the town hall site) would exceed the cost of a new construction,” Humes said. With the site selected on Farmington Avenue, “The first thought was to reuse those buildings,” Humes said. However, the Kraft Foods Building proved unsuitable, as it was constructed in 1948, prior to the existence of any building codes. The Kensington Furniture building is a wood frame building which is also not suitable for police department requirements. “The new facility is the most cost effective option to provide for the needs of the Berlin Police Department,” Humes said. “Whenever you build and design you want to think about tomorrow,” Humes continued, explaining that the station was designed to be “the last police facility Berlin will need,” based on Humes’ projections of the maximum population the town is likely to reach based on available space and occupancy. Humes projected a need for a facility that could accommodate 56 projected sworn officers over the next 40 years. Town Councilor David Evans (R) raised concerns about the cost per square foot of the police department, citing $343/sq.ft. in the original 2008 $13.9 million design, and pointing to Reed Construction Data when he spoke during public comment, providing the source to The Citizen by email. The data lists the price of new police sta-

Commentary: Project on schedule, within budget By Gary Brochu For any Berlin resident whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s driven on Patterson Way recently, it will come as no surprise to them that Berlin High School is in the midst of a major renovation. Actually, the high school renovation has been underway for well over a year, but much of that work took place in the back of the building, out of sight from most residents. This school year, with work taking place in the front of the building, the renovation work is impossible to ignore.

Despite the demolition of the front entrances and the considerable activity currently taking place, the BHS projBrochu ect remains on schedule and within budget. Despite the repeated claims by some that the high school renovation is a â&#x20AC;&#x153;$100 millionâ&#x20AC;? project, the fact is that the share of the project that Berlin residents are responsible for is within the amount

that residents approved by referendum in 2011. No project of this size and scope, particularly one that is taking place while students and staff are in the building, is without bumps in the road. But issues have been addressed quickly and professionally, and our students continue to receive the quality education that

Berlin residents have come to expect. The exciting news is that over 80,000 square feet of newly renovated space has been opened to students and staff. This space includes more than a dozen new classrooms, including two science classrooms, a fitness center, a child development classroom, a new tech

wing, radio station, television studio, elevator and the cafeteria. This space is being utilized to provide an improved educational environment for our students. In fact, a number of parents have already shared with me that their children have told them that they find learning See Tour / Page 9

Letters to the Editor Something to think about

Support for Abercrombie

To the editor: I am not opposed to increasing the need for a more suitable police department, although I think some of their needs are a little extravagant. We can never have all we want. The world is not a wish-granting factory. That said, I do oppose the location. The land on Farmington Avenue is a prime business location. The new police department will never pay property taxes on this site. If someone has the sense to develop this location, imagine the taxes the town of Berlin would collect. Think about that. Sandy Driscoll Kensington

To the editor: I am proud to support Cathy Abercrombie for reelection to the office of State Representative from the 83rd district. As the mother of a young man with intellectual disabilities, I applaud her work as Chairperson of the Human Services Committee. I am especially proud of her efforts to raise awareness of the issues around Autism Spectrum Disorder and her tireless efforts to improve services for the disability community. Please join me in helping send Cathy Abercrombie back to Hartford so she can

Longtime residents may remember that it has been 25 years since the Berlin-Peck Memorial Library opened its doors in the Kensington Road facility it now calls home. It was dedicated on Oct. 2, 1989 with a collection of 58,669 items and a circulation of 108,041. Today, in 2014, the library’s collection holds over 99,000 items with a circulation of over 196,000. Does 1989 seem like a long time ago, or just like yesterday? Twenty-five years ago, a postage stamp was 25 cents and gas was 97 cents a gallon.

As a matter of fact, we will have 25-plus programs to commemorate our 25 years. A special calendar detailing all the programs will be available in-house and online.

throughout the library – children’s, teens and adults. If you check out a book that has this lucky ticket, you will win a special 25th anniversary LED flashlight (great for reading under the covers). With programs for residents age 2 to 102, a cake, a contest, and displays

and booklists galore, how can you not visit the Berlin-Peck Memorial Library during the month of October – or at any other time of the year. We’re the best bargain around! Hope to see you soon. Helen Malinka is the Library Director at Berlin-Peck Memorial.

Staff, students and construction professionals will be available to lead tours of the newly renovated sections of the building. There are still two more years to go before the renovation of the high school will be completed. But the Board

of Education feels strongly that residents should be kept apprised of the project’s progress, including having an opportunity to personally see the renovation firsthand. For those residents interested in touring Berlin High School, stop by on Saturday, Sept. 27.

ments as “apples to apples” because every community’s needs are so different. “There are thousands of variables,” Humes said, that can change the final cost of the police station. At a previous meeting, Humes said one of these factors is “the economy of scale,” causing larger projects to be cheaper per square foot while being more expensive overall. Humes said the best comparison is made by looking at the square feet of space per projected sworn officer, by which Berlin rates “about average.” According to data in the informational presentation, Berlin rates higher for square feet per sworn officer than recent projects in Plainville, Newington, and Newtown, but lower than Bethel, Darien, and New Canaan. The cost of the police station increased from $13.9 million to the current estimate of an additional $21 million for the current design. Accord-

ing to Humes, the largest factor increasing cost is inflation, at an estimated cost of about $3.2 million. Soft costs have also risen, and the new design includes a storage building. Former Town Councilor Robert Dacey (D) spoke during public comment at the Town Council meeting immediately following the informational session. Dacey argued that the architects and contractors hired to provide information were the experts. “If anyone thinks they know more about police work or construction than these gentlemen, they are delusional,” Dacey said. Dacey also said that the attendance of the informational session was poor. The informational session was filmed by Nutmeg TV. A video tour of the police station by The Citizen is available on the Record-Journal YouTube page. reporter@theberlincitizen.com (203) 317-2448 @Berlin_Citizen

John Klett, the 911 call came from a neighboring resident who had approached the suspect in connection with the domestic disturbance, after which the suspect pointed what appeared to be a rifle at the resident. After police responded to the incident, however, it was discovered that the weapon in question was a BB gun or pellet rifle, police said. Klett said the suspect was apprehended without incident and that the suspect did not resist arrest. Police charged 30-year-old Anthony Leonard with Breach of Peace 3rd, Threatening 2nd, and Reckless Endangerment 1st. The suspect was observed standing and talking on a cell phone when police arrived. Police say they discov-

ered numerous toy guns in the room, including pistols and an additional Airsoft rifle. No actual firearms were found, police say. Klett said the officers responding to the incident had no way of knowing whether the suspect was genuinely armed and dangerous. “We have to assume that it’s real,” Klett said. “You don’t just walk into a gun call.” Police did not determine that the weapon was not a genuine firearm until after the suspect was arrested, Klett said. Police report that Leonard is no longer a resident of the Coronet Motel. Police also reported that a burglary was discovered on Savage Hill Road. The burglary was estimated to have occurred between Sept. 9 and Sept. 15.

I am a 70+ year female who has been living on my own for years since my husband passed away. I had a full life filled with friends and fun until… I ended up in the hospital and have no memory of how I got there. I developed a life threatening wound. Two surger-ies later my doctors told me I would need to go somewhere for my recovery and rehabilitation. I needed special equipment which limited my choices but Andrew House Healthcare was there to offer their help. The rehab team was incredibly encouraging . The nursing staff is dedicated in their commitment to their patients’ well being. They always had a few extra minutes to stop by and engage me in conversations about things other then my situation. Andrew House is easy to connect with and truly wants you to succeed. I will recommend Andrew House to all.

It’s Minutemen time Press Release Come join the exciting Minutemen youth wrestling program and learn how to grapple like the best. This program will teach the basic moves used in high school. Nothing like you see on television; no WWE here. Have fun and be safe. Contests and games will be used to teach basic skills in wrestling. No experience necessary and participants wrestle against opponents of their own weight and ability. Wrestling will improve balance, hand-eye coordination, self confidence and teach teamwork. This year we have restructured the program, dividing the program into two groups. All first and second year wrestlers will meet on Mondays and Wednesdays from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. Then, on Monday and Wednesday evenings, from 6:45 to 8 p.m., the program will be offered for all others who have wrestled for more than two years. We will introduce an open mat practice on Friday nights for all members of the team, until matches start, from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Practices will be held in the McGee Middle School Café. There will be no practice when school is closed. Registration includes: a T-shirt, USAW Membership, insurance and plenty of action. The program runs from Monday, Nov. 10 to March 20. There are no practices on holidays. Participants should wear T-shirt, shorts/sweatpants, socks and wrestling shoes or other lightweight sneakers. Clothing with zippers is not allowed. Cost for this program is $80 for the first child in a

family at $70 for each additional sibling. Please make checks payable to: Berlin Wrestling Club and send it with a registration form to: Roger Moss, 80 Brandegee Lane, Berlin, CT 06037. You may secure a registration form or pay online at our website: www.berlinwrestling.com. If you have questions please contact Program Head Coach C. Roger Moss at (860) 828-9818. Berlin has long enjoyed a strong wrestling program at the high school and middle school levels. The Berlin Parks and Recreation Department sponsored the Berlin Youth Wrestling until 2004-05. The club as of the 20052006 season became a full member of USA Wrestling Connecticut. T h i s p r o g r a m wa s started to expand the interest to wrestling to the younger boys and girls who live in town. Over the years, many people have been involved and helped the program get to where it is today. We are open to boys and girls in grades K to 8. This season, Moss will begin his 18th year with the Berlin Youth Program. Moss started the wrestling program in Orange, which after one year, became a varsity sport at Amity High School. Moss was the head coach for four years there. Moss has also been the head coach at Longmeadow High School in Massachusetts and wrestled for one year at Springfield College before starting his coaching career as an assistant at Springfield Tech. Moss started his wrestling career at Pulaski High in New Britain.

Sports Undefeated week for boys, girls soccer By Nate Brown The Berlin Citizen

Girls soccer The Lady Redcoats continued their winning ways, going 3-0 last week to improve to 4-1 on the young season. The girls began their week with an impressive 4-0 victory over Bristol Eastern. Both senior captains were instrumental for the team throughout the afternoon as Cara Johnson scored two goals and Erin Goodwin added two assists. Juniors Cheyenne Inturri and Sophia Morell also added one goal each. Junior goalkeepers Michaela Dehm and Sam Giardina made three saves to combine for the shutout. After another strong 5-0 victory over Platt in the middle of the week, Berlin recorded another shutout to finish their week, this time topping Bulkeley 3-0. Senior Sarah Bosco scored two goals while Morell added one. Dehm and Giardina had a quiet day in goal; while the two combined for the shutout, they weren’t called upon to record any saves, a testament to the team’s strong defensive efforts as of late. Boys soccer The Redcoats earned their first two victories of the 2014 campaign to finish the second week of the year with a 2-2-1 record. Berlin’s first win of the season came in a strong 1-0 victory over Bristol Eastern. Junior Justin Park’s goal proved to be the difference-maker in the contest, while senior goalkeeper Wojciech Kajzer made four saves to record the shutout. The Redcoats continued their strong defensive play in a 2-0 win over the Platt Panthers to get to .500. Senior Nick Vreeland and Park found the back of the net for Berlin as the Redcoats pep-

Kajzer needed to record only one save for both the shutout and victory, as Berlin’s back line proved to be too strong for Platt. Berlin ended its week with a 0-0 tie against Bulkeley in a two overtime game. Although the locals recorded six shots on goal, they couldn’t get any past the Bulldogs’ goalkeeper. Kajzer proved to be just as stout, stopping all five shots that came his way.

senior tailback Anthony Sisti punched it into the end zone. Norton had a much more efficient game in his second start under center, completing 10 of 16 passes for 147 yards and the touchdown to Platosz. His favorite target, Garcia, hauled in five passes for 80 yards. Garcia also contributed 39 yards to the team’s rushing attack, while Sisti grounded out 54 yards and junior Owen Taylor added 25 more. Aside from his touchdown catch, Platosz used his hands on the defensive side of the ball to haul in the game’s only interception. The senior added four tackles. Senior Jeremy Eliades led the defensive unit with seven tackles (one sack), while senior Joe Inturri made six and senior Jack Stafstrom added five more (one sack). The Redcoats (2-0) will play their next game Friday, Sept. 26 when they travel to Tolland to take on the Eagles (1-1).

Football The Redcoats walked away with their second shutout in as many games this season with a 15-0 victory over Bloomfield on Friday night. Berlin did all of its scoring damage in the second quarter. The Redcoats first cashed in on a five-yard run by senior running back Eric Garcia. The extra point was converted by senior Paul Fontes.

Foley defends record at Pennsylvania company MIDDLETOWN (AP) — Connecticut Republican gubernatorial candidate Tom Foley says he ultimately saved unionized workers’ jobs following a lengthy strike at a Pennsylvania plant he previously owned. He said Sept. 18 that hiring replacement workers during the early 1990s was “one of the tougher decisions” he made during his business career, but contends Connecticut needs that type of leadership. Union leaders who support Democratic Gov. Dannel P. Malloy are criticizing Foley’s handling of the strike at

August, with schools taking a hit due to a quirk in statistical sampling. Officials said Sept. 18 the state’s unemployment rate of 6.6 percent was unchanged from July. It’s the lowest since December 2008 when the rate was 6.7 percent. The jobs loss broke a sixmonth string of gains. The private sector, which comprises about 86 percent of Connecticut’s employment, added jobs for the seventh consecutive month. Department research director Andy Condon says the halt in employment growth could be due to early sampling in August compared

He said about 70 percent of the state’s towns use the tickets in some form. No departments issue electronic warnings. Electronic tickets are printed by laser printers attached to onboard computers in patrol cars. Officers type drivers’ license numbers and license plates into the computer, which transfers personal and vehicle information onto the ticket. Data also are uploaded to the department’s records management system and the state’s Centralized Infractions Bureau can gain instant access.
