9/11 memorial to be completed by next year By Charles Kreutzkamp The Berlin Citizen
Kensington Fire Rescue has announced that work is underway to finish the Sept. 11 memorial on Farmington Ave. in front of the firehouse in time for a dedication ceremony on Sept, 11 2015. Plans are underway with a design of the memorial that commemorates the Twin Towers, The Pentagon, and Shanksville, PA, where United Airlines Flight 93 crashed while passengers tried to gain control of the plane. Part of
the memorial planned will feature a pentagon-shaped area as well as red, white, and blue plantings, Chief Mark Lewandowski said. Thousands of civilians perished in the Sept. 11 attacks, as well as 343 New York firefighters. “We need to remember those that lost their lives and their families,” Lewandowski said. Members of Kensington Fire Rescue traveled to New York City in 2010 to collect relics related to the World Trade Center,

School student will be part of the All-National Honor Choir in Nashville, as local Kirsten Petry has been accepted. According to Berlin High School music teacher Kathryn Crabb Scherer, this prestigious choir is formed of 300 of the top chorus students in the nation. “It feels really great. It’s surreal,” Petry said. The teenager said she was hopeful during auditions, and is thrilled to hear of her acceptance. Petry said she practices her singing every day, and also plays piano and guitar. She sings the national anthem at some local baseball and basketball games. In addition to her musical talents, she is a member of the BHS varsity cheerleading team. “I’ve been singing since I was three years old…I love to sing,” Petry said.

Deputy Mayor William Rasmussen, an Independent who ran on the Democratic
ticket, criticized council Republicans for voting no on the ordinance, saying their votes placed the referendum in jeopardy. Rochette added that Councilor David Evans (R) voted with the council when it unanimously approved the purchase of the old Kensington furniture site for the new police station, and asked that he explain why his position has changed. Evans said there were two reasons he voted no on the police station project: first was the increase in cost (the original estimate, before a site was selected, was $13.8

Republicans said at the time they were concerned that summer was an inappropriate time for a public hearing on such an important topic, as many people would be on vacation. Democrats rescheduled the hearing a second time at a special meeting, but due to time constraints, it was necessary to waive Rule 7 and immediately vote following the hearing in order for the ordinance to go to referendum on Election Day. According to information posted on the town website, the increase in costs is due to a wide variety of factors, the largest of which is inflation, at an estimated cost of about $3.2 million. The new design for the police station also has an increase in square footage, representing about $400,000 for a storage building and $1.8 million for the Police Department. See Session / Page 18

said, adding that now the council would await an opinion from the public through the referendum. Councilor Charles Paonessa (R) said he objected to the council waiving Rule 7, which does not allow a vote on an issue to immediately follow the public hearing on that topic. The council waived Rule 7, 4-3 along party lines, in order to ensure the referendum would be held on election day after council Republicans pushed back the original date of the public hearing. Republicans held a rare majority due to the absence of two council Democrats at a meeting in July when the public hearing was initially rescheduled.

in Cheshire, and a magnetic nano on a bench in Durham. I’ve captured 21 caches since I began little more than a month ago. I saved Middlefield for last. The Town Times is the oddball of the weeklies. The Times has our smallest circulation, but the most active Facebook page, and is our only paper not named The Something Citizen. It’s also our only weekly paper serving two towns, Middlefield and Durham, and it’s the first Record-Journal publication I ever laid my hands on. I moved to the Rockfall area of Middlefield from Kentucky at age 10. So to officially capture a geocache in each and every town, I knew exactly where I wanted to go to complete my mission: Wadsworth Falls State Park, within walking distance of the house I grew up in. It’s a truly great park to hike in, with a tame, level main trail and a few more challenging paths as well. The park boasts not one, but two waterfalls, the short but impressively voluminous Big Falls and the impressively tall Little Falls, a trickle by
comparison. Even better is that both waterfalls change significantly throughout the seasons, a reward frequent returners. Melting snows give the most impressive sprays of water at both falls in spring. The water retreats significantly during summer, and depending on rainfall, the river beyond Big Falls may be covered in algae. Other times, water levels become so low that you can walk out into the middle of the river on the rocks and reach grassy islands. Some winters, enormous gleaming icicles form beside the waterfalls, and river water past Big Falls churns underneath a sheet of ice. “It’s beautiful,” Kate said the first time I brought her to the area, the winter of 2012. When we went treasure-hunting in the park, the biggest complication we ran into was the large amount of “muggle activity,” as Geocachers call it when there are people around. It’s important not to been seen See Caching / Page 11

Caching finding a cache, because someone may mistake it for trash and attempt to throw it away, or otherwise interfere with it. We completely abandoned searching for a cache near Little Falls, as a huge group of people were sitting in the area talking. We did, however, find two more, including one with perhaps the greatest terrain challenge we’ve ever sought after, requiring a hike up a steep incline. “I clung as close to the hill as I could,” my Indiana-native fiancée, Kate said, recalling her nervousness about the steep descent toward the river below. She comes from a land where the only ways to go up in elevation are stairs, elevators, escalators, airplanes, and the odd ladder.

cient civilization. Unlike the famous stone bridge that was built during the Great Depression, story has it that the walls have stood since before the area was reforested. Or at least, these are the thoughts I had while hiking on my own through the woods as a kid. And now that I’ve seized a cache in all seven Record-Journal weekly towns, there’s only one thing left to do: hide one of my own. Game on, newspaper fans.
Celebrating Our Success We are the bridge between hospital and home 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.

“But in retrospect? If you were going to do it again?” I asked. “Oh, sure,” Kate said sarcastically, “We didn’t die last time, so we probably won’t die next time.” My fiancée is not a thrill-seeker. Another cache brought us past one of the most interesting features of the park: the old stone walls that lay overgrown between some of the trees. The walls give the forest the air of an an-

Sports A look at the Redcoat teams for fall ’14 By Nate Brown The Berlin Citizen
For those who plan on supporting their Berlin Redcoats this fall, here is a brief overview of what each team will look like this coming season. Football Head Coach: John Capodice (11th year, 87-27). Assistant Coaches: John Paul Demko, Rob Levesque, Joe Aresimowicz, Mike Mendoza, Mark McLeod, Don Dellaquila, Ryan DeGroff, Rick DeGroff, and Bob Mayette. Last year: After four straight years of 10 or more wins, including a state championship and two league championships, the Redcoats struggled to their first losing season (5-6) in over 10 years. Key losses: Quarterback Mitch Williams, linemen Dante Vasi, Anthony Duong, and two-way stalwarts Dan McLeod, Jake Eliadas, and Nate Campbell This season: Senior Anthony Sisti is the team’s top returning offensive threat, coming off a season that saw him produce over 750 yards. Fellow seniors Alec Norton and Eric Garcia will be expected to step up and fill some of the large holes on offense left behind by Williams & Co. On the defensive side, the Redcoats will look to seniors Jack Strafstrom and Jeremy Eliades, as well as junior Jake Loiselle. Outlook: The Redcoats have produced plenty of talented players on both sides of the ball in the past few seasons, but they’ve also – unfortunately –graduated those players, as well. Replacing Williams’ arm (over 1700 passing yards last year) may be too much to ask for a young squad, yet the run game should improve off of the 1400-plus yards they produced last season. It could be another trying season for the gridiron gang, but six or seven wins aren’t out of the question.
Boys soccer Head Coach: Sal Parafati (first year). Assistant: Dominic Costa. Last year: For the Redcoats, 2013 looked a lot like 2012. And 2011.The boys made it to the Class L state quarterfinals before getting bounced from contention, ending their 2013 campaign with a loss to Joel Barlow, 3-0, to finish the year 16-4-1. Key losses: 14 seniors – including All-State selections Alex Bednarek and Matt Heimlich – graduated. Storied head coach Dave Francalangia also left the program. This season: Only two starters from last year’s squad return: senior midfielder/ defense combos Evan Hale and Nick Vreeland. Also, senior midfielders Kevin Boninsegna and Brandon Rocco will step into starting roles to help fill some of the gaps left by the large graduating class. “We will have a strong defense and midfield,” new coach Sal Parafati said. Outlook: While a repeat of 16 wins and a trip to the state quarterfinals may be out of reach, a return trip to the postseason is not. The Redcoats will look to incorporate a handful of last season’s undefeated McGee Spartans team to help fill the gaps. Parafati will also do a fine job taking over as the head coach; a longtime Redcoat assistant, Parafati knows the system and his returners, making the transition a seamless one.
This season: Another small senior class, led by Sarah Bosco and Erin Goodwin, means that there is plenty of turnover from last season. Junior Michaela Dehm will continue her role as the team’s goaltender. Joining Dehm from an ever-improving 2016 class are Taylor Budney, Kim Tencza, and Stephanie Trevathan, all of whom will play vital roles this year. Outlook: 2014 proved to be a stronger senior class for the team than many would expect from just four seniors. With that in mind, the number of returning players should help the girls to remain rather successful on the pitch. A return to the playoffs seems imminent, and the team will make it a race for the CCC South title. The fact that Dehm is only a junior is a very troublesome thing for Berlin’s opponents. She was outstanding last year, and a strong 2014 campaign would surprise no one.
Girls swimming and diving Head coach: Andy Ahlberg (first year). Assistant: Amanda Shroder. Diving coach: Ja n Zagorski. Last year: The girls finished strong, taking home seventh in the Class S finals with 263.5 points. Berlin finished tied for 40th with 17 points in the State Open meet. Key losses: Lauren Baretta, Sobilo Deana, Olivia Kadja, and Natasha Nixon. This season: S e n i o r Girls soccer Head Coach: Steve Yanosy Kelsey Kozikowski (sprints, butterfly) and junior Olivia (13th year, 152-46-15). DeGroff (sprints) will serve Assistant: Katie Amenta. Last year: The girls posted as the team’s top two scora regular season record of 10- ers, as they will both look to 5-1, making it to the second build off of strong 2013 searound of the Class M state sons. Also making their prestournament before bowing ence felt will be senior Arian out to Haddam-Killingworth Silas and sophomore Stephanie Humen, who both made it 3-2. Key losses: Sammy Car- to states last year. Outlook: Although it’s a bonell, Kelly Cohen, Rachel new year, it’s a very familChapman, and Kelly Rohan.
iar scenario for the team; they have another new firstyear head coach. While Ahlberg isn’t as familiar with his squad as his predecessor, his intuition should help to maximize the Lady Redcoats’ talent and help keep them extremely competitive during the regular season and Class S finals. This varsity group should also easily improve on their State Open finish, where a top 30 finish seems logical. Volleyball Head coach: Bob Tarigo
(32nd year, 427-191). Assistants: Nancy DeBlasio (junior varsity), Jeff Tarigo (freshmen). Last year: The girls’ season ended shorter than anticipated, as they finished 7-11, one win short of qualifying for the postseason. Key losses: Olivia Dellaquila, Alicia Maule, Tess Repaci, and Amanda Patterson. This season: Plenty of firepower returns for the Lady Redcoats, including senior See Redcoats / Page 14

standouts Abbie Underwood and Alyssa Germano. Fellow seniors Lauren Trzasko and Brooke Barney should provide plenty of kills as outside hitters while Nidhi Patel and Allison Walsh, also seniors, will provide great defensive help on the back line. Junior Julia Lagace will also hear her number called plenty of times this season as both a setter and an outside hitter. Outlook: The now-senior class got plenty of experience last season, which should make them ready for any on-court situation they may come across. A strong up-and-coming junior class should help lead the Lady Redcoats back to the postseason, as well as a record north of .500. Berlin’s 9/10 All-Star softball team had an impeccable 4-0 record and earned the top seed in the District 5 championship tournament this summer.

Class M state meet. Meanwhile, the boys finished 12th out of 26 teams in Class MM. Key losses: Brittany Sullivan and Nicole Grieco for the girls; James Dwyer for the boys This season: Seniors Kristen Madeia and Taylor Lupini will lead a deep Lady Redcoat team, with junior Michelle Grieco and sophomore Lisa Grieco also are expected to shine. The boys will be led by seniors Sam Papacoda and Adam Litwinko, and junior Connor Ladd. Outlook: Losing Sullivan and Grieco won’t be the easiest losses to overcome, but another strong season is to be expected. The youngest Grieco, Lisa, showed fantastic growth over the spring outdoor season while Lupini should continue her strong running per usual. While a top five finish at states may be out of the question, finishing in the top 10 is not. As for the Lady ‘Coats counterparts, the Berlin boys’ finishing in the top 10 at states is well within reach.

lin Turnpike south of Deming Road. A total of 2,373 vehicles were directed through the checkpoint. Nineteen motorists were flagged by the contact officers for DUI testing or other investigative interviews. The results are: Number of violations and charges (14): (12) motorists were cited for operating unregistered motor vehicles, 14-12(a)* (2) motorists were cited for operating with a suspended registration, 14-215. Number of motorists detained for field sobriety testing: (2) motorists were detained for field sobriety testing and no DUI arrests were made.
Soft costs, including legal fees, also increased and represented an additional $1.8 million increase. Councilor Margaret Morelli (D) said for the past seven years, the police station project has been a bipartisan issue, coming from the Police Commission and the Public Building Commission. Morelli said she did not want the police station project to become partisan. Earlier in the meeting Police Chief Paul Fitzgerald spoke during public comment expressing concern over misinformation regarding the police department. Fitzgerald said “I will not limit the tools that are available to my officers,” including bullet-proof vests, body armor, rifles, and ballistic helmets. Fitzgerald said active shooter situations happen in small towns and that Berlin must have a police department that is prepared in the event of a tragedy. The police chief added that Newington, Newtown, and Manchester are also small towns that have experienced active shooter incidents. Fitzgerald said the Berlin Police Department is a “full service” police department and that police officers are also medical first responders trained in the use of AED devices and responsible for responding to incidents such as heart attacks, strokes, drowning, and motor vehicle crashes. For more information on the proposed design of the police station, visit the town website.

Lewandowski said the memorial “will serve as a place to both memorialize those that were lost that day and the departments’ members – past, present and future.” Lewandowski thanked all those who assisted in making the project a reality, including IIPC, Manafort Brothers, AES Designs and the Berlin fire departments, citizens and friends of the department that have made memorial donations.
