Lewandowski joined Kensington Fire-Rescue as a volunteer firefighter in 1980, and moved quickly up the Lewandowski ranks. He served as lieutenant, captain and assistant chief, before being named chief, a position he held for 24 years. Lewandowski retired in 2017. Soon after, he told The Citizen: “It was the appropriate time to step out.” The longtime chief said it’s important to move people up in the department. “We’re planning for the future,” he said. In 2018, Lewandowski’s successor, Jeff Pajor, told The Citizen: “There has been a wonderful legacy of chiefs, both in Kensington, and town-wide. I hope to follow in their footsteps and continue moving the department forward as Chief Lewandowski had done during his 24 years leading the department.” Lewandowski’s Hall of Fame biography lays out many of his accomplishment as chief, including forming Kensington Fire-Rescue’s Cold Water Rescue Team and Special Operations Unit, making the department’s 9/11 memorial a reality, and obtaining $750,000 in Fire Act funding for Berlin’s fire departments. The biography states: “At the time of his Hall of Fame Induction, Mark Lewandowski had devoted 41 years to the Connecticut Fire Service, in multiSee Firefighter, A4

Midstate Chamber celebrates 125 years with dinner, awards
A history that spans three centuries is an accomplishment for any organization, but is perhaps especially impressive for one that must meet a broad range of interests across a large geographic area. The Midstate Chamber serves businesses in Meriden, Wallingford, Southington, Berlin, Cheshire and throughout central Connecticut. The chamber is known, of course, for helping new businesses launch with a ribbon-cutting and some fanfare. But its mission reaches far beyond those events to a wide range of support and initiatives that
include opportunities for networking, promotion, leadership and education, according to the organization’s statement of purpose. Over the past 18 months, the chamber has taken on a new task helping its members navigate through the coronavirus pandemic. While the chamber is a mainstay of the business community, it’s also a significant presence in other communities, partnering with area chambers, towns, schools and other organizations on a wide variety of ventures. One notable initiative is the chamber’s Hispanic Outreach Leaders in Action. Among its activities, HOLA is helping celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month with a Taste of Salsa in downtown Meriden tonight, an event that also raises money for scholar-
ships for Latino students. This is just one example of the chamber’s impact. Now multiply that with similar activities, large and small, across the years and through decades that add up to an extraordinary presence over the course of 125 years. Over 300 people were at the 125th anniversary festivities. The awards given out reflected the chamber’s commitment to the attributes that keep communities strong. These included leadership and innovation awards and even an Excellence in Education award, which this year went to Meriden native and U.S. Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona. The chamber has not only supported business success, it also has led by example as a model of how to attain and sustain success.

In a recent Berlin Citizen article the Mayor, as usual, has taken credit for all of the items that the Board of Finance has accomplished in the past four years. As Chairman of the Board of Finance, I’d like to remind the citizens of Berlin how the process works. The Board of Finance prepares the yearly budget and submits it to the council for approval. The Mayor and his majority council members for the past four years, have refused to take any part in the budget process. However, according to the article, the Mayor seems to forget the process, and is neglecting the work of the BOF. This current administration has failed our townspeople. Their track record is poor. They're trying to take credit for work that was accomplished by the BOF. Here are the facts. The Mayor; • Did not give our residents tax relief • Only gave wealthy developers a tax break • Never supported an education budget • Wanted to lay off teachers and close schools • Never wanted to purchase new police cruisers/fire equipment purchases • Never had a plan to market Berlin to attract businesses that would provide our residents with true tax relief (another pizzeria or nail salon is not going to do it) • Wants the YMCA to control Berlin's Community Center and Senior Center (I prefer that Berlin runs its' own facilities) • Brags about 25 miles of road construction in SIX years and the list goes on..................
As a mayoral candidate my platform is about Berlin Pride. It is about restoring stability, civility, and civil decorum in our town and especially in our public meetings. My platform is not about political signs that hold empty promises but rather it's about action. My record as Chairman of the Board of Finance speaks for itself. To name a few: • 2 year tax freeze • Police cruisers/fire equipment purchases • Funded education • Reduced debt • Built a rainy day fund The Mayor is trying to take credit for my work and that of my BOF members. What he doesn't understand is that the citizens of Berlin go to work every day to provide the best for their families and they entrust their political leaders to provide a safe town to live in, with an affordable quality education and fiscal responsibility. If elected Mayor, I promise to freeze taxes for qualifying seniors, market our town to bring in businesses that'll help to offset our tax base, support an affordable education, continue to maintain our police/fire personnel, and provide a $500,000 grant from our six million dollar federal grant to do a facelift on Farmington Ave to create an attractive center of our town. I will obtain state and federal grant money to build an accessible community/senior center and to rebuild our historical meeting house on Worthington Ridge where Berlin residents can enjoy summer concerts and community activities. These are just a few of my ideas as mayor of your town. It's time for a change!!! Let's rekindle Berlin Pride and create a town that all Berlin residents can be proud of!!!

Boxes
“I expect many friends and families of our local troops to show their support.”
From A1
While packages will be distributed across the globe, this year the majority will be shipped to eastern Africa, where more than 600 Connecticut National Guard troops are serving.
Boxes to Boots seeks donations from the community so U.S. troops serving overseas can receive care packages for Christmas.
Boxes to Boots was established in 2016 by Karen Cote, who began sending care packages overseas every Thanksgiving after her son was deployed to Kuwait in 2015.
It is the single largest deployment of the Connecticut National Guard since 2009.
Cote sent 125 boxes to her son's unit in her first year of operation, and the organization has been growing ever since.
“I feel like it’s a very personal shipment this year because it seems like everyone knows someone that’s deployed in Africa right now,” said Gauvin.
Berlin state Rep. Donna Veach presented Boxes to Boots with an official citation from the Connecticut General Assembly at the

The cost is $25 ($15 for passengers). All proceeds will go to ship Boxes to Boots care packages. “I am very grateful to the IPIC for putting up this fundraiser for us,” Boxes to Boots president Kristen Gauvin said. “These care packages are very expensive to ship overseas, so every bit helps.”

Time to get started on fall to-do list By Joy VanderLek Special to The Citizen
Fall isn’t just a season for pumpkin spice lattes, leaf peeping and apple cider donuts. For those of us who live in New England, there’s a few chores to get to this month. There’s always the chance of an early snow or frost. So it pays to get ahead rather than get caught unawares.
If you have a vegetable garden going this summer, you will be happy to know that you can continue to plant and harvest certain plants through the first snows. Kale and other cruciferous vegetables will taste sweeter if left until late in the season.
Fall is garlic time in our state. Orders of garlic are usually shipped in September, and planted in October, according to Dawn Pettinelli Last year’s first frost was with UConn’s Home and Edpretty much on schedule, ar- ucation Center.

As for flower beds, some gardeners allow the garden to “work while it sleeps,” since pollinators find shelter within standing flower stalks. Leave seed pods for the birds.
Those were a few of the more lightweight chores you may have on your list. However, don’t overlook some of the more important items on your checklist.

The Community Foundation of Greater New Britain is asking residents to pick up the phone, as regional data collection efforts are underway to develop the 2021 Community Wellbeing Survey. Thousands of randomly-selected residents will be asked to answer questions that will be used to understand wellbeing in central Connecticut and throughout the state.

Then there is the matter of the leaves. If you can “leave the leaves” and keep them on your property, you’ll be rewarded with butterflies and fireflies next year. That’s because many native solitary bees and other pollinators overwinter in and under the leaf litter.

Letters to the Editor American Rescue Plan Editor : Berlin received approximately $6 million from the American Rescue Plan. This money has restrictions on its use. The Democrats and
Sam Lomaglio have been campaigning on spending this money on their Business Development Fund, before knowing if allowed. At the joint Town CouncilBoard of Finance meeting on Sept. 16, the Finance Director made it clear that the
$6 million cannot be used to enhance businesses, which is the intent of Sam’s Business Development Fund. To date, they have not publicly corrected their error. Citizens deserve accurate and honest information, not to be misled by false information for votes. Town Councilor Charles R. Paonessa
