Police prevent suicide during awareness week By Charles Kreutzkamp The Berlin Citizen
Fifteen scouts and scout leaders from Boy Scout Troop 41 recently ventured to the Boy Scout high adventure camp Sea Base, located in the Florida Keys, approximately 20 miles from Key West. Designed to expose scouts to the ocean environment, and related water activities, the scouts participated in numerous physical challenges. These included paddle boarding, snorkeling in the world’s third largest living coral reef, kayaking through a mangrove maze, deep sea fishing, sailing, camping on a remote island, and touring Key West. Troop 41 is sponsored by Bethany Covenant Church, 785 Mill St., Berlin, and meets there weekly, Thursdays, 7:15 to 8:30 p.m. Stop by to learn more about the troop. | Photo by Lee Roski
Economic Development director to take on lesser role By Charles Kreutzkamp The Berlin Citizen
Berlin will be in need of a new director of Economic Development in the future as current director Jim Mahoney is moving to Maine. Mahoney, who served the town for more than a decade, said he will continue to serve as Economic Development Director for a few months, after which he will continue to assist the town in a reduced capacity from his new home. Town Manager Denise McNair said by email that Mahoney was “responsible for so much that this Town” and that

World Suicide Prevention Day was recognized Sept. 10, during Suicide Prevention Week and mere days after the Berlin Police Department successfully intervened in a suicide attempt. According to Lt. Chris Ciuci, Officer John Flynn responded to a call involving a woman attempting to commit suicide in a public location and arrived at the scene in time to get the woman assistance until an ambulance responded to the situation. “With recent high profile suicide deaths in the news, and 333 suicide deaths in Connecticut in 2013, it is important to remember that suicide is preventable,” Commissioner Pat Rehmer of the Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services said in a statement. “It is clear that high self-esteem, social connectedness, problem-solving skills, support-

ive family and friends can protect individuals from suicide and suicidal behaviors. By working together at the state and community level we can save lives.” Ciuci said an ambulance arrived to provide treatment for the woman who attempted suicide in Berlin. Police later found a suicide note. Anyone in Connecticut who is struggling with thoughts of suicide may seek assistance by dialing 211, and anyone in the nation may call 1-800-273-TALK (8255) to speak with a trained counselor at a local crisis center. It is important to note that you may also call the hotlines if you are seeking assistance as a friend or family member of someone you suspect may be at risk for suicide. A trained professional can give you advice on how to provide help. Suicide often occurs in conjunction with other mental health issues: over 90 See Awareness / Page 6

The Board of Education discussed new teacher orientation, the special education summer program, and the possibility of holding a Saturday open house so that members of the public would be able to see the new areas of the school during their Sept. 8 meeting. Assistant Superintendent Brian Benigni said that new staff orientation was a great success. The district welcomed 28 new teachers this year, 11 of which were new to teaching. Teachers were familiarized with various computer systems that the district uses. Following feedback from last year’s orientation, time was also set aside for new teachers to talk with current teachers in the district without administrators present. This allows them to ask questions they “may not feel comfortable asking with us there,” Benigni said. The district is having difficulty finding qualified math teachers, according to Superintendent David Erwin. Upcoming maternity leave is putting an even greater strain on the district’s mathematics staff. Erwin said there is a math teacher shortage statewide, with 60 openings currently across Connecticut. Benigni said that feedback on the website has been positive.
The only drawback, the assistant superintendent said, is that some are finding it difficult to find information in the new organization that was previously located in different areas. However, the new design also offers a great benefit of consistency across every school, meaning that parents who have children in multiple Berlin schools will find it easier to find information across the different school’s websites. According to Erwin, Berlin is currently planning to have 117 CHOICE students this year. The district attempts to admit between 3 percent and 4 percent of its students through the CHOICE program, which reimburses the district based on this percentage.
During a four-week summer program for special education kids, the district partnered with Good Cause Gifts and Northeast Utilities, which have often opened their doors for local schoolchildren to visit, according to Berlin BOE President Gary Brochu, who suggested the board consider awarding a Berlin Bravo to these businesses. Director of Business Operations Roman Czuchta said the high school had “a very successful opening,” and that the district is working hard to address issues as they arise. Staff and students “were for the most part excited with the new areas” and it was “exciting” to see students in the new radio station, Czuchta said.

Pagan Pride event draws a crowd at the VFW The Berlin Citizen
It is estimated that more than 190 people attended Pagan Pride in Berlin at the VFW Sept. 6 according to event organizer Wendy Hagen. Pagan Pride is an annual event intended to bring together the pagan community and to educate the public about paganism. Attendees brought donations of canned goods or pet food to support the Berlin Food Bank and the Humane
Society. Paganism is an umbrella term that describes a wide variety of beliefs and practices according to a Connecticut Wiccan Pagan Network representative. The group of “spiritually minded people” includes Christians, Wiccans, and others. The event featured a group meditation as well as a variety of vendors who offered Celtic jewelry, stained glass, clothing and other items. CWPN is a non-profit orga-
nization that puts on a variety of events throughout the year including a celebration of the autumn equinox, a witches’ ball, a yule celebration, and a celebration of Samhain. Unlike many other faith organizations, there is no specific doctrine or belief shared by all of its members, but like other faith organizations, members come together to help families in need. The organization also supports scholarships. “It’s about coming together for each other,” a group represen-

The Berlin Citizen
The Passport program has been proving very popular at the Berlin-Peck Memorial Library, according to Head of Adult Services Carrie Tyska. “We’ve had lots of people from other libraries coming to get their passports
braries similar to letterboxing. At the end of the month, there will be a prize for the patron who has visited the most Connecticut libraries as well as a random drawing for participants. The final day to visit a library is Sept. 27. According to the Connecticut Library Association, “Every library has its own ar-
chitecture, vibe and collection to explore and browse, so the hope is that everyone will make full use of CT’s unique facility to use one library card in any CT public library.” It is hoped the program will build awareness of the value of a library card. Some passporters have as many as five stamps from
other libraries. The program is still in the early stages, Tyska said, but it has been very successful in promoting the power of library cards. For more information, visit http://www.berlinpeck. org/announcing-the-ct-library-passport-program/.

About four times as many men die by suicide than women, according to the AFSP. Depression is the most common mental health issue that correlates with suicide, according to the AFSP, which suggests that there is a need for better diagnosis and treatment of depression by primary care providers. Forty-five percent of those who die by suicide had seen a primary care professional within the past month, and 77 percent had contact in the previous year.

Ciuci said.

Suicide was also among the top 10 leading causes of death overall in 2011, according to

PETS OF THE WEEK
Ziggy and Phantom are loving senior cats that appear to be Maine Coon mixes. Both love attention and being held. The boys are 10 years old so they understand that they might not go home together. An advantage to adopting a senior cat is that they have longer attention spans and good impulse control, making them more affectionate and quicker at adapting to their new home. Do not pass them up because of their age. Both are healthy and have many good years ahead. For more information, call (860) 828-5287. View all of the adoptable pets at www.fobac.org.

Born in New Britain, daughter of the late Leopoldine and the late Joseph Geiger, she was the secretary for her husband’s business, Kensington Welding and Trailer Company, for many years.

A devoted mother to her daughters and granddaughter, she loved spending time with them and buying presents for them. She will be greatly missed. In addition to her husband, she was predeceased by a sister, Anna Yeske; and four brothers, Joseph, George, Carl, and Frank Geiger. A funeral liturgy was held Friday, Sept. 12, at St. Paul’s Church, 467 Alling St., Kensington. Burial was followed in St. Mary Cemetery, New Britain.

Opinion Letters to the Editor
At what cost? To the editor: I am compelled to write in response to Berlin Property Owners Association William Brighenti’s suggestion that the Berlin police should get rid of their unnecessary equipment including body armor and tactical gear to add available space to the current police department. I would like to provide Mr. Brighenti with some information that may assist him with reevaluating his view. In 2013, 105 law enforcement officers were killed in the line of duty, 31 of which were the result of fatal gunshot wounds. These deaths at the hands of violent criminals are unfortunately one of the risks police officers face
every day across the country. These “homicides” of law enforcement officers occur in large cities and small “Mayberry” communities across the country. Had Mr. Brighenti taken the time to research these statistics before suggesting that the Berlin police shed their body armor and tactical gear he would have been aware that Bardstown, Kentucky (population 11,700) Police Officer James Ellis was shot and killed while removing debris from the roadway, and that Rockville, Iowa (population 1,039) Police Officer Jamie Buenting was shot and killed by a barricaded subject. These unnecessary deaths are only two examples of incidents that occurred in communi-
ties that would fit into Mr. Brighenti’s utopia of Mayberry where crime rates are low and thus there is no danger to police and no need for officers to protect themselves with body armor and tactical gear. Mr. Brighenti should also know that these officers left behind wives, children, and friends that will miss them forever. The use of body armor by law enforcement is not new, and technology has allowed police the ability to wear these life saving devices comfortably under their uniforms every day. The continued use of body armor by law enforcement has saved the lives of over 3,000 police officers. Doug Bartolomeo Berlin

Must be proactive To the editor: This is in response to the article “Taxpayers’ group calls for police downsizing” that appeared in The Citizen. I couldn’t believe what I was reading. As to reducing staff, why is Mr. Brighenti basing the number of staff on the population and not on the square miles the department is responsible for covering, which includes Kensington, South Kensington (home of the Chamberlain Highway), Berlin and East Berlin and our section of the Berlin Turnpike. I have to believe that the members of the Berlin Property Owners Association have never had to make an emergency 911 call. I was in a serious accident that required a 911 call – I am glad I did not have to wait for an officer to get there, who could have been many miles away because we reduced staff. An ambulance was dispatched, traffic was controlled and my husband was notified. Motor vehicle accidents,
injuries at home, down power lines all require additional police presence beside the normal duties a police officer does. Also, the concerns we have regarding the safety of our students requires that we have a police presence in the schools. How about the events that they cover – sporting events, the Berlin Fair, setting up for our parades and the charity runs that happen in town? As far as equipment and the storage of same, this is another issue that is of concern to me. Why would we not want the officers in our town to be protected with basic – and sometimes special personal protective – equipment? Aren’t we lucky that we haven’t had situations where we needed to use tear gas or other protective equipment? I think we need to be pro-active and not have the “should of, could of, would of ” mentality that seems to me would happen if we eliminated what the police department requires.

Seniors Senior’s handmade greeting cards treasured By Robin Veronesi
A 92-year-old Berlin artisan is crafting handmade greeting cards, for sale at the Kensington Garden Center on the Chamberlain Highway. The “Cards by Nannan” collection features baby, birthday, get well, and thank you cards, all of them handmade by 92-year-old Anne Wylchynsky. “I never thought at my age, I’d be able to do anything like this,” Wylchynsky said. “Nannan” is Czechoslovakian for Anne, Wylchynsky
explained. She can spend three to four hours an evening on her craft. “I’ve got to keep busy.” This local artisan is the aunt of Margaret Ellison, one of the owners of the Kensington Garden Center. Wylchynsky started making cards a few years ago through a class at the Berlin Senior Center. She continues to attend the bi-monthly classes, which are usually on Tuesday mornings. While most of the students limit their card making to their own family and friends, Wylchynsky thought
it was a good idea to make them for the family business. “It’s such a good feeling to know I can make a card that people enjoy,” Wylchynsky said. “Everyone has a special friend and if they send them a special card, people just love it!” A recent Garden Center customer was so impressed by the high quality and low price compared to mass-pro-
duced cards that she purchased a dozen of Nannan’s creations. Nannan will occasionally repeat a design, but most of her cards are one of a kind. “I love to work with any kind of flowers,” Wylchynsky said, who notes the floral-designed cards are a natural tie-in to the Garden Center. “I have most of the machines that I can make
embellishments with.” These include Cricut and Martha Stewart craft punches. She also has a variety of paper stock as well as stamps. Wylchynsky finds card making therapeutic. “I will sit for awhile and ask myself, ‘What’s the best way to get the nicest card?’ It’s such a relaxing time.”

on the subject for the commission to examine. According to these documents, planning and zoning commissions statewide have to contend with a variety of issues surrounding home occupations. Problems may arise when businesses have a negative impact on neighbors. Many in the state have seen an increase in home occupations since the economic collapse of 2008. The Town of Ridgefield has attempted to solve the problem of home occupations by creating different sets of rules depending on the type of home occupation involved. For example, homeowners who work alone in their home
Hartford Doctors Treat HARTFORD • A new medical clinic staffed by local physicians has opened in Hartford recently specializing in only one unique, niche area–men’s sexual performance. The Yale Clinic has an amazing offer - first 37 callers receive a free in-office medication dose. Erectile dysfunction and premature ejaculation have long been a problem for millions of men in spite of the popularity of Viagra, Levitra and Cialis. Many men either are not helped by these medications or cannot take them due to medical conditions and adverse side effects. According to The Yale Clinic of Connecticut’s Medical Director, Dr. M. Sheldon Polsky, Board Certified Urologist and author of ‘Seven Secrets Doctors and Drug Companies Won’t Tell You About Erectile Dysfunction,’ “Our doctors offer a proven treatment with over two hundred doses of custom blended prescription medication that can help virtually all men regardless of their age or medical history, including men as young as twenty-one to well into their nineties, with diabetes, heart conditions,
prostate cancer, and high blood pressure. All drugs are FDA approved, no surgery is involved and patients will see a licensed Connecticut Physician” Referred to as “the gold standard,” by the International Journal of Impotence Research, “Our treatment allows our local doctors to adjust the dosage for a man’s performance to 45-minutes, an hour, even 90-minutes,” according to Dr. Polsky, “and patients see immediate results in the office. We offer a simple guarantee: “If you don’t respond to our medication on the first visit there’s no charge.” With that guarantee, local patients have nothing to lose. The Yale Clinic books appointments far in advance but occasionally can accommodate someone quickly. Yale assures patients of utmost privacy and professionalism and has private waiting rooms and an all-male staff. Further information is available by calling (203) 290-1665.

do not need a zoning permit. This allows, for example, telecommuters to work out of a home office without needing to seek permission. Ridgefield has specific rules addressing traffic and display of merchandise, and does not allow retail sales to be conducted on the premises. The commission hopes to update the regulations at a later date. One of the largest issues the commission is currently addressing is a variety of proposed zoning updates, including the possible creation of new “village” zones that would allow more mixeduse projects, similar to Depot Crossing, in the downtown area near the train station.

having the courage to speak up, you can save a life, according to Judith Stronger, vice president of Wellness and Recovery. The clinic hosts “mental health first aid” training, and a variety of other training events, as well. The clinic also hosts a branch in Plainville in the Connecticut Clearing House, a statewide library with resources and information on mental health issues. The organization provides the general community with information, fact sheets, books, videos, and curricula. The Wheeler Clinic’s Vice President of Outpatient and Community Services, Kimberly Nelson, said that the clinic has a mobile response team that helps deal with crisis intervention without removing at-risk youth from their homes and schools. This team serves a variety of communities in the area, including Berlin and Plainville. “The goal is to keep kids out of the emergency department and prevent inpatient hospitalization,” Nelson explained. Research shows the effectiveness of this approach, Nelson said. Another program involves visiting children in their homes multiple times per week, again with the goal of avoiding hospitalization.

’Coats Notes: Solid start for locals By Nate Brown The Berlin Citizen
Boys soccer The ’Coats season got off to a rough start, losing to both Conard (5-1) and Bristol Central (1-0) in their opening week of play. Berlin had a rough time keeping the ball out of its own goal against a tough Conard squad, giving up a hat track en route to the four-goal loss. Junior Justin Park was able to find the back of the goal for the Redcoats while first-year varsity goalkeeper, senior Wojciech Kajzer, made six saves in the outing. Things didn’t fare much better for the Redcoats in their final game of the week, falling to fellow CCC South foe Bristol Central 1-0. Kajzer recorded two saves.
Girls soccer The Lady Redcoats responded to a season-opening defeat with a convincing win in their second contest to finish the opening week at .500. Berlin fell in its season-opener on Sept. 9 to Northwest Catholic, 2-0. Junior goalkeeper Michaela Dehm recorded six saves in the defeat. The Lady ’Coats walked away with their first victory of the 2014 campaign with a 5-2 win over Bristol Central. Senior Sarah Bosco proved to be too much for the Rams to handle, as the forward recorded a hat trick. Junior midfielder Sophia Morell added two goals for good measure to give Berlin more than enough firepower to earn the W.
Dehm made seven saves. Cross country The BHS boys and girls began their season with strong dual meet performances before taking their talents to the Windham Invitational this past weekend in Willimantic. The ’Coats took on both Bristol Central and Bulkeley in their respective season-opening dual meets. The boys fell short against Bristol Central (16-40) yet were able to come away with the victory over the Bulldogs (17-43). The girls won against both of their opponents, beating the Rams, 2338, and the Bulldogs, who didn’t have enough participants to record a score. Berlin’s Michelle Grieco won BHS junior Sophia Morell looks to make a pass in the girls’ 5-3 win over Maloney. Morell scored two goals in the See Sports / Page 18 contest. | Matt Leidemer \ Special to The Citizen

Volleyball The Lady Redcoats began their season with a convincing 3-1 victory over Bristol Central, 25-21, 20-25, 25-19, 25-18. The ’Coats were led by senior standout Abby Underwood, who led the way with 19 kills, eight aces, and nine digs. Berlin’s other defensive standouts included senior Nidhi Patel and junior Alex Perrone, both of whom had eight digs. Patel also was crucial in setting up her teammates. The senior recorded 12 assists throughout the match, while junior Julia Lagace recorded 18. Berlin wasn’t as successful in its match against Bristol Eastern, falling in three sets to the impressive Lancers, 25-20, 25-15, 25-7. While the team struggled defending against a strong BC team, the Lady ’Coats had no issues starting any of their rallies; the girls converted on 95.3 percent of their serves, with Underwood, Lagace, and senior Alyssa Germano going a perfect eight-for-eight on serve attempts.

BHS bests Lancers, begin season strong The Berlin Citizen
Based on the final score and the team’s demeanor as they walked off the field, the average fan would have left Friday night’s season-opening Berlin football game against Bristol Eastern thinking the team had been in this situation just last season. While the Redcoats came away victorious in a 7-0 showdown with the Lancers, it was difficult to remind oneself that Berlin failed to make the playoffs just a year ago with a record of 5-6. Bristol Eastern, on the other hand, went into Friday night looking to build off of last year’s impressive 9-2 campaign. Yet it was a 14-yard pass from senior quarterback Alec Norton to a diving senior wideout, Eric Garcia, late in the second quarter that proved to be the difference, as Berlin more than held its own to come out on top. “I knew (Bristol Eastern was) very good, and they are very good, and I knew we would have our hands full. And it was an outstanding game, and everybody that
came out tonight definitely got their money’s worth,” BHS coach John Capodice said. Norton, taking over for Mitch Williams – a threeyear starter under center – looked poised throughout the evening, completing 7-of-12 pass attempts for 117 yards and the touchdown. Garcia added another 25 yards on the ground, while senior Anthony Sisti and junior Owen Taylor added 29 and 57 rushing yards, respectively. Sisti led all receivers with 47 yards and fellow senior Matt Kacyznski added 37. “It’s an outstanding senior class. These kids put in a tremendous amount of time and made the commitment since last year … I couldn’t be happier for them with the victory tonight,” Capodice said. “We know Alec is a varsity athlete, and we have all kinds of confidence in him that he would come out and compete and not be scared of the lights.” Yet the win wasn’t all first downs and easy plays. While the defense played sound throughout the contest, and the offense moved the ball just enough, Berlin’s
special teams did the Redcoats no favors, as the punting game looked out of sync. Junior Nick Perrone had to compensate for a few high snaps on punts that he was still able to kick away, while a muffed catch by junior Jake Loiselle on a punt return put the Lancers deep into Berlin territory with the game still knotted at zero. Time and time again, though, Berlin’s defense proved to be too stout for Bristol Eastern. The Redcoats stopped the Lancers deep in their own territory twice, both of which provided huge momentum swings for the hometown gridders. Loiselle made up for his fumble with an interception with 2:25 left in the second quarter that set up Berlin’s scoring drive. Sisti also forced a fumble in the fourth quarter that was recovered by the Redcoats, allowing Berlin to chew up more time off the clock. “To pitch a shutout against an outstanding team like Bristol Eastern … kudos to the players and the staff,” Capodice said.

(against Holy Cross),” BHS coach Andy Ahlberg said. The girls had particular success in solidifying those all-important finishes by taking second, third, and fourth place in the 200 meter freestyle. Seniors Holly Chirico, Kelsie Anderson, and Courtney Nelson placed, respectively, to help Berlin accumulate enough points to come away with the victory. Yet it wasn’t all second place finishes that helped the locals seal the deal. The medley relay team com-

State Court to take up juvenile sentencing problem HARTFORD (AP) — Connecticut’s Supreme Court has decided to take up three cases that could decide how the state handles the convictions of children who commit murder and other violent crimes. The court was to hear appeals Tuesday from inmates who were sentenced to lengthy prison terms for crimes they committed while under the age of 18. The hearings come afte r two U. S . Su p re m e Court decisions that essentially prohibit mandatory life-without-parole sentences for juveniles in homicide cases, and require states to provide inmates with a “meaningful opportunity” for release in non-homicide cases.

Supreme Court backs wind energy regulation HARTFORD (AP) — The Connecticut Supreme Court has sided with a state agency regulating wind energy, rejecting a challenge by opponents of a wind power project. In a decision announced Monday, the court ruled 6-0 that a trial court was correct to dismiss appeals by opponents to the project by BNE Energy Inc. to build three wind turbines in Colebrook. Opponents said the state Siting Council incorrectly determined it has jurisdiction and did not have “substantial evidence” to back the height of the turbines. The court cited the General Assembly’s 2011 passage of legislation directing the Siting Council to consult with state energy officials to adopt turbine regulations. Joyce Hemingson, president of Fair Wind for Connecticut, the opposition group, said the decision was “not totally unexpected.” BNE did not immediately respond to an email.

In Connecticut, 14- to 17-year-olds charged with certain serious crimes can face adult prison terms, including mandatory life-without-parole sentences. Chief State’s Attorney Kevin Kane says the court now has the opportunity to set new parameters. Foley: traffic “shamef u l ,” M a l l oy c l a i m s progress NORTH HAVEN (AP) — Gov. Dannel P. Malloy says he has spent more money to improve Connecticut’s transportation needs than prior administrations, but his Republican challenger calls the state’s traffic woes “shameful” and says more needs to be done to increase the capacity of the state’s highways. Malloy and Greenwich businessman Tom Foley ap-
peared separately on Monday at a transportation forum hosted by regional transportation groups. The Democratic governor said after adjusting for inflation, his administration “is far outspending” prior administrations. He said more work would have been done but many projects were not ready when he took office three-and-a-half years ago. Foley says efforts aren’t being made to expand the capacity on Connecticut’s roads and Malloy is trying to “push people out of cars” by focusing more attention on mass transit.
