The former Knights ofColumbus building, ownedby the town, is no longerused or has future use for thetown due to the buildings de-teriorated condition.

“We’ve had numerous peo-ple look at the building to seeif it can be saved,” said May-or Adam Salina. “It seemssmarter to demolish the

building to utilize the prop-erty.”

In December 2009 theTown Council made a section8-24 referral to the Planningand Zoning Commission con-cerning the sale of the prop-erty. At its regular meetingin January 2010, the BerlinPZC voted unanimously aftermuch review to make the rec-ommendation to the council.

The council also moved toauthorize Town Manager,Denise McNair, to sign agrant agreement form fromthe Marjorie Moore Charita-ble Foundation to accept thegrant of $12,300 for the pur-chase of automated externaldefibrillators and a trainerand to deposit these fundsinto the Marjorie MooreFund.

Whacky winter weather goes to the dogsBy Melissa ChickerThe Berlin Citizen

The wacky winter weatherwith temperatures reachinginto the 50s and in some cas-es the 60s has left the animalkingdom of Berlin confused.

According to Berlin Ani-mal Control Officer JaniceLund, the warm weather hasincreased the amount of ani-mals in need and has causedanimal control to jump inearly to its typically busyspring season.

“Cats are going into heatwhen they shouldn’t be andwildlife is out earlier thanthey should,” she said.

Lund warns domestic ani-mal owners to make suretheir animals get early vacci-nations, as wild animalshave been spotted earlierthan usual.

According to Lund, morekittens have entered the shel-

ter. Two litters have beenbrought in, which Lund said,is unheard of around thistime of year.

More dogs are also beingbrought to the shelter, but itis unclear if it is weather re-lated.

“We haven’t had a winterat all,” said Alicia Wright,Public Relations Representa-tive of the Connecticut Hu-mane Society.

According to Wright, theHumane Society usuallyserves calls around this timeabout incidents with straydogs out in cold conditions.

A concern to many citi-zens, and the Humane Soci-ety, are animals left in condi-tions. that can result in frostbite and possible death of theanimal. Those types of calls,said Wright, have been moreinfrequent than normal.

However, Lund said, with

early spring come earlyadoptions. The animal shel-ter has adopted out four oftheir seven dogs in the lastweek and 25 cats in the last

month.“Adoptions have tripled

from the normal season, es-pecially for dogs,” she said.

Taking care of the dogs in

the shelter is much easier,according to Lund, withnicer weather comes moreexercise the dogs can re-ceive.

The council also moved toadopt an agreement betweenthe State of Connecticut andthe Town of Berlin for the de-velopment of contract plansfor the replacement of theFarmington Avenue Bridgeover the Mattabesset River.

The Public Works and En-gineering Department is re-sponsible for maintaining

bridges, culverts, and struc-tures within the Town ofBerlin. The project to replacethe bridge was initiatedyears ago through the Cen-tral Connecticut RegionalPlanning Agency. The Con-necticut Department ofTransportation has rated thebridge in serious conditionand in need of replacement.

The total cost of the proj-ect is estimated at $3.6 mil-lion. Funding is 90 percentfrom the state and 10 percentfrom the town. Constructionis not anticipated to begin fortwo to three years due tofunding allocations from theregion and time needed forpermit applications.

I got into an interesting conver-sation at Town Hall recently withsomeone who — along with my-self— felt we had a pretty goodgrip on knowing our presidents; atleast the more or less “modern”ones that occurred during our life-times.

But as we tried to recount whowas who and when he served, andhow many terms and any otherspecial circumstances surround-ing his presidency — well, it didn’ttake too long until we got boggeddown.

How long did Nixon’s two termslast? And after Ford was appoint-ed (after Nixon resigned) did heever win an election? Who cameafter Ford? And did Johnson runafter he finished out the rest ofKennedy’s term? How many termsdid the first Bush have and whodefeated him? And where did Jim-my Carter fit in - who came next?

It took awhile, but we finally gotit sorted, although it was kind of ashock to realize it was almost 20years after the start of the Clintonadministration and more than 30since Reagan came in.

In case you need a refreshercourse, too, here’s the list of presi-dents we used to verify our foggyfacts. Since it’s an election year,we expect there will be plentymore debates over who servedwhen.

Heading into the homestretch of the season, theBerlin High School boysbasketball team was verymuch alive in the hunt forthe Central Connecticut Con-ference South Divisionchampionship.

With a convincing 71-55victory over Bulkeley lastweek in Hartford, the Red-coats improved to 9-3 in theCCC South. If the locals wereto win their final threegames, they would earn atleast a share of the divisioncrown.

Berlin was slated to faceMaloney-Meriden Tuesday,after press time, in a hugematchup. Check out berlinci-tizen.com for the game story.

Bobby Mozzicato turnedin a memorable performanceagainst Bulkeley. The seniorcenter scored 34 points, had15 rebounds and shot 14-for-15 from the free throw line.

Mozzicato is averagingmore than 20 points and 12rebounds per-game. As a jun-ior, he netted an unspectacu-lar seven points a night.

“His teammates have donea great job of getting him theball in position to score andhe has done a great job offinishing,” said BHS coachMike Veneziano.

“He didn’t go from averag-ing seven points a game to 20points a game because hewas a year older. He madethat jump because of all thehard work he put in.”

In his five years with theRedcoats, Veneziano said hehasn’t seen one of his guysturn in a season like Mozzi-cato has.

“There are no guaranteesin life, but the percentagescertainly go up when youwork for something,” thecoach said. “I think it isgreat for our younger playersto see first-hand how much(Mozzicato) improved as a di-rect result from all his hardwork. I also think it is greatfor all the Berlin kids in-volved in the travel programto see a player who wentthrough the travel programachieve the success he has atthe varsity level.”

“He is a great role model

Despite the loss, Plainvillecoach Rusty Spence ex-pressed confidence that atleast four of his wrestlerswould finish in the top six inthe upcoming CIAC Class Sstate tournament and pro-ceed to the State Open.

“We’ve got a lot of work todo,” said Spence, who addedthe forfeitures contributedheavily to his team’s loss toBerlin.

The match in the 285-pound weight class ended ina double-forfeit.

Plainville also forfeited at113, 120, 145, 195 and 220. This

ensured victories for fresh-man Jeremy Eliades, juniorBao Le, and sophomoresEthan Greider, Steve Pe-trario and Bill Conticello.

Member of first BHS football teamlooks back on an amazing life

By Nick CarrollThe Berlin Citizen

From scoring the veryfirst touchdown ever for theBerlin High School footballteam, to earning a roster spotwith the Marine Corps grid-ders, to partying with amovie star, to his later suc-cess in business, Wilfred“Billy” Guite has quite a taleto tell.

Now 91, Guite remembershis younger days with agreat deal of fondness.

He was a sophomore mem-ber of the first BHS footballteam — which took the fieldin 1936 — and recorded theprogram’s first touchdownon a pass from Chick Girone.

That season marked thebeginning of a bright careerfor Guite, but his life did notrevolve around football. Theyoungest of seven siblings,he was expected to have a joband help the family.

The summer before hisjunior year, Guite foundwork on a lobster boat. Thedays were grueling. “Otherlobster boats had winchesthat would pull the pots. But Ihad to stand at the stern andpull,” Guite recalled.

By the end of that summerthe teenager had grownthree inches and packed onsome 30 pounds. Come thefall, BHS football coaches uti-lized that added mass; thejunior was moved from endto fullback.

That season, Berlin had ascrimmage with NewBritain. Legendary NBHScoach Chick Shea was im-pressed with Guite.

In fact, the way Guite tellsit, Shea wanted him to playfor New Britian. Guite’s fa-ther put the kibosh on thatidea. “He listened and said‘Bill was born and broughtup in Berlin, and he’ll stay inBerlin,’” Guite recalled.

Guite remembers a con-versation he had withBerlin’s superintendent ofschools, Calvin E. Wilcox,soon after. “He said, ‘Billy, al-ways remember, it’s better tobe a big fish in a small pondthan a small fish in a bigpond.’”

Heeding that advice, Guitestayed at BHS and had a goodjunior season. As a senior, hehelped lead Berlin to theClass C state finals, wherethe locals lost to Farmington7-0.

Guite also played basket-ball and baseball at BHS.

After graduation, Guitewent to work as an appren-tice at a tool factory. His posi-tion would have earned hima deferment from World WarII, but he chose to enlist inthe Marine Corps.

Upon completion of bootcamp, Guite was ordered toreport to one Captain Smithat Cherry Point in NorthCarolina.

It turned out CaptainSmith was Maurice “Clip-per” Smith, a veteran collegefootball coach, who alsohelmed the Marine Corpsteam.

According to Guite, Smithhad heard he was a qualityfootball player and wanted totake a look at him.

Approximately 140 guyswere vying for a roster spoton the Marine Corps team,most of them college players.A few pros were in the mix aswell.

Looking around, Guiteknew he was a long shot tomake the cut. “I felt a littlehumbled,” he said.

Berlin and started Guite Tool& Engineering Companywith his brother. Decades lat-er the Guites sold the busi-ness for a hefty $600,000.

Guite stayed active in re-tirement. He golfed, playedracquetball and bowled, andhe and his wife, Dawn, visitedall 50 states and travelledmuch of Europe. The couplenow lives in Old Saybrook.

Guite’s seeminglycharmed life has had itsshare of tragedy, however.

In 1978, Guite’s son Bobbywas killed in a motorcyclecrash at the age of 22. Andthree years ago, Dawn suf-fered a stroke which left herpartially paralyzed.

Guite now tends to hiswife, and like many men of acertain age, likes reminisc-ing about the good old days.

Guite has plenty of peopleto share his stories with, in-cluding his sons Jon and Bill,and daughter Dawn, alongwith five grandchildren and agreat-grandchild.
