Girl Scouts come through

The Scouts made beaded book markers, key chains, fairy garden

stakes and plant pot charms, and also collected money from sales of kitchen fairies donated by Meriden resident Ina Belanger.

Longtime local librarian takes on new challenge MERIDEN — Berlin resident Becky Starr has been named acting director of the Meriden Public Library.

The long-time city librarian was promoted after Clevell Roseboro II stepped down as director to accept a new role in an academic setting in his home state of North Carolina.

Starr will serve as acting director until at least the time when a $13 million project to renovate and expand the library’s home on Miller Street is complete. Currently, the library is located at Meriden Mall.

tee and serves as vice president of the Library Board of Trustees, said Starr is wellpositioned to assume leadership of the library “with virtually no hiccups.”

For Starr, the appointment appears to be a natural next step during her 25-year tenure with the Meriden

Public Library. She joined the library’s staff in 1997, after having previously worked in the city manager’s office as a budget analyst.

Starr said she became familiar with the city’s department heads at the time, including then library director

The outgoing director sees the use of former commercial spaces, like malls, as the start of a new trend for libraries across New England.

Moments before he spoke with the Record-Journal, Roseboro motioned to Starr when he addressed library staff and city officials in saying he believed the library will be left “in good hands.”

Juneteenth the last enslaved people learned of their emancipation.

Research has uncovered Berlin’s ties to the Underground Railroad, and Mayor Mark Kaczynski recently signed a proclamation recognizing the Milo Hotchkiss house and its role in shelter-

ing people escaping the hardships of slavery.

In a social media post, the Historical Society wrote: Yesterday at Berlin’s Juneteenth celebration we talked about known abolitionists of our town. Much attention is paid to the Milo Hotchkiss house in Kensington, but See Juneteenth, A6

Juneteenth From A4

there was another outspoken anti-slavery advocate, Deacon Daniel Galpin (17561844). At the time, he lived in this house (pictured), now at 914 Worthington Ridge.

After Galpin’s death, the house was moved a short distance so the church could be built on the site in 1850.

Galpin had a wood working shop in his house, and posted a sign in the window that stated: “Anti-Slavery Books for Sale Here.” The sign was quickly torn down by someone who disapproved, but that did not stop Galpin from being outspoken all his life.

In 1843 he wrote letters to the editor in response to an oped by John Quincy Adams.

PLANT SALE!

He added: “I stood beside Washington when the British were driven out of Boston Harbor in 1776 … God had shielded my head in battle, Galpin fired back, writing: and permitted me to see in“Therefore, if you see a thief, dependence secured.

So preparing for the library, which is currently downsized staffing-wise for a full move back into a renovated building is a challenge, but one Starr said she is geared up for. “It will be exciting,” she said.

“So when I got to the library, I could use those skills to help the public,” Starr said.

Starr described the Meriden Public Library renovation as “a big challenge.”

But as a veteran staff member who “knows the business” of library services, she’s committed to ensuring the library continues to serve the community.

Starr said in her first career as an accounting manager, she loved working with people.

She started as a part-time Librarian 1, and was eventually promoted to Librarian 4 — the level just below director.

It will feature 14 divisions, ranging in age from players as young as fifth grade to senior citizens.

Last year, the tournament gave $3,000 to One More Dog Rescue, $1,800 to Long Island Bulldog Rescue and $500 to Thank Dog Rescue.

Since 2017, the tournament has donated $14,805 to rescue dogs. Last year saw the tournament’s third-largest field at 217 participants. The record is around 250 and, three weeks out here in 2022, Wayton said it is possible for the tournament to get up to 250 again.

Entry fees are $25 for singles

players and $50 for doubles.

Registration is at Waytonopen.com. Donations and sponsorships are also available on the tournament website.

“Fifteen years is pretty good,” Wayton said. “This was always a word-of-mouth thing and now it’s a legit tournament every summer.

We are trying to break our entry record and we are on a pretty good pace this year.”

Wayton is a special education teacher at Bristol Central and an assistant coach on the school’s girls tennis team. He said many of his players from BC will be in action next month.

Wayton expects the 2022 field to be deep. He noted that high school players from Berlin and Maloney have signed up. Wayton also hopes to see some Southington High School players on their home court.
