She’s one Tough MudderLocal woman tests mind, body in rugged event

Council okays $2M for policestation site purchase and clean-up

Kensington resident Deb Paradis, left, makes her waythrough an obstacle during a Tough Mudder competi-tion at Mount Snow in Vermont. “It’s amazing what youcan do if you put your mind to it,” said Paradis, 46.

By Daniel JacksonSpecial to The Citizen

In a few months, the former KensingtonFurniture storefront and warehouse, whichsits along the Farmington Avenue, will be nomore.

At its June 21 meeting, the Town Counciltook the next step in acquiring the propertyfor the future police station. The council ap-proved the move to prepare documents toeventually close on two properties that makeup Kensington Furniture. The town willspend $2 million dollars on purchasing andpreparing the sites.

This move comes after years of planning.Police Chief Paul Fitzgerald said “My prede-cessor, even, demonstrated the need (for a

new police station) back years ago.”Mayor Adam Salina said this development

is exciting. After years of planning, the townis beginning to see something actually hap-pening, he said.

The new police station is part of a largerproject to revitalize the area around the trainstation. At the June 7 council meeting, thepanel was updated by Economic Develop-ment Director Jim Mahoney about four proj-ects that will transform the train stationarea. After the projects are completed, a roadwill curve past the police station, behindbusinesses on Farmington Avenue, and tothe renovated train station, which includes

When you’re in your 40s,married for two-plus decades,and have grown kids, a goodjob, it’s easy to settle into asedentary lifestyle.

Kensington’s Deb Paradisdoesn’t accept that fate.

This past spring, the 46-year-old married mother oftwo completed a gruelingTough Mudder competitionat Vermont’s Mount Snow.

Billed as “the toughest one-day event on the planet”,Tough Mudder participantsencounter numerous BritishSpecial Forces-designed ob-stacles along a rugged 10 to12-mile course.

“I can honestly say thischallenged me physically andmentally, and is one of thehardest things I have everdone in my life,” Paradissaid. “It’s amazing what youcan do if you put your mindto it.”

Due to the physically andmentally-demanding natureof the event, the majority of

Tough Mudder participants— including Paradis — choseto join a team.

Mellocrest just a memory as new development begins

Citizen photo by Olivia L. Lawrence

The former Mellocrest ice-cream wholesaler on Farm-ington Avenue was razed recently to make way for thenew Ratchford Eyecare Center.

By Olivia L. Lawrence The Berlin Citizen

Mellocrest Ice-cream Co.Inc. was a well-known Farm-ington Avenue business for35 years. Over the past cou-ple of weeks, the old brickbuilding that housed the dis-tributing company was de-molished to make way for the

Ratchford Eye Care Center.Mellocrest was a whole-

sale business that distrib-uted names like Sealtest, andproducts from local manu-facturers such as NaugatuckDairy, throughout HartfordCounty, according to CarmenGagliardi, whose uncle, alsonamed Carmen Gagliardi,was the founder.

The enterprise began inthe late 1940s, when the elderGagliardi left Crown Dairy inNew Britain to start up hisown business, in Berlin, atthe corner of Farmington Av-enue and Lower Lane. In re-cent years, the building hasbeen vacant, used on occa-sion as political headquar-ters during local electionyears.

In those days, “every one ofthe businesses located onFarmington Avenue wasowned by a local businessman,” Gagliardi said.

Mellowcrest was a familybusiness, Gagliardi said,adding that while his unclenever married, his threenephews came on board, in-cluding the younger Carmen,his brother and a cousin.

“As we got out of the serv-ice — the Korean War — wewent to work there,” Gagliar-di said. He and his brotherand the cousin were the prin-cipal employees but lots of lo-cal high school kids had part-time jobs there.

Three refrigerator truckswere used to take the product

to stores, cafeterias and in-stitutional facilities. Berlinschools were among those.

As home refrigeratorfreezers grew, so did the de-

mand for larger containersof ice-cream, and that was abig shift in the market,

CouncilContinued from page 1

260 parking spaces.At the June 21 meeting, Ma-

honey said the town will closeon the Kensington Furnituresometime in the fall. The sell-ers have reduced the price ofthe property by $200,000 to off-set the cost to remediate thehazardous material. Thetown will use almost half thetotal amount of money allo-cated to acquire the property:$900,000 dollars for land and$33,000 to close, according toJune 7 council minutes. Therest of the money will be usedto prepare the site for build-

ing.“We made assumptions,

where we didn’t have infor-mation. Particularly in areaslike roofing asbestos — and itturns out that we were tooconservative,” Mahoney said,adding that the hazardousmaterials’ assessment wasbetter than initially reported.Mahoney said the town willnot need to undertake asmuch remediation at the siteas contamination levels formaterials such as asbestosand PCBs are below the levelsestablished by the state.

Although the site is rela-tively clean from hazardousmaterials produced from oldbuildings and manufacturingprocesses, it will still be nec-essary to abate some haz-ardous materials; about a halfa million dollars is allocatedfor this. The buildings wereerected before the presentbuilding codes were in placeand it would be difficult andcostly to renovate them into a

police station.When the property is

owned by the town, the oldKensington Furniture build-ings will be razed. At a priorcouncil meeting ChiefFitzgerald said this was bestroute to take because it wouldprevent criminal activity inthe buildings and a lawsuit ifsomeone trespassed into thebuildings and got hurt.

Mahoney said quotes hegathered put the cost of thedemolition at $380,000.

No timeline has been setfor the project. After clearingthe site of rubble, the townplans to spend $15,000 dollarsto temporarily restore thesite. Architect Brian Humespresented a conceptual mapof the new police station andemphasized two design fea-tures. The parking lot is be-hind the building, allowingfor the creation of a green-way between the building andFarmington Avenue. Thiswould improve the aestheticsof the area. Also, the policeparking lot would have twoentrances. “When developingpolice departments, I try togive two access points,” hesaid. That way, if there wasan obstruction on Farming-ton Avenue, officers can drivearound it.

The proposed police sta-tion would be a two storybuilding of 30,000 square feet,built on a concrete slab, aswater levels at the site riseclose to the ground surface.

(This summer, The Citizenis running a variety of storiesaround the theme of “sum-mer reading.” It’s a great timeto kick back and pick up abook. We’ve been asking folksaround town what’s on theirsummer reading list. In thisweek’s edition two town lead-ers share their suggestions.)

Steve Morelli, deputymayor

I’m reading a book called

Doc: A Novel,which, as isimplied, ish i s t o r i c a lfiction. It’svery good,it’s writtenby Mary Do-ria Russell,and is aboutthe life and times of Doc Hol-liday. It’s well-written, por-trays him as a very educated

Morelli

Grab a book and head for the hammock(which he was), cultured,witty, though tortured indi-vidual. There’s some humormixed in with what is reallythe telling of a somewhattragic life. I’m almost doneand I’d recommend it to any-one interested in that briefperiod of our history whenthe west was still the “wildwest”.

I have previously read abook called A Thread ofGrace, by the same author,which was about Italian sol-diers and citizens shelteringJewish refugees (about

40,000) from the Nazis duringthe last couple of years ofWorld War II. It is also a nov-el, but like Doc, historical fic-tion based on factual events.I enjoy reading historical fic-tion, if it is well-written andreasonably well researched,it’s a good way to take in his-tory without the textbook na-ture of much non-fiction.

of Berlin Veteran’s Commis-sion on the dedication cere-mony held on Flag Day 2011.The Veteran’s Commission,Town Council and EconomicDevelopment Commissionjoined forces to complete thepark, adjacent to Stop &Shop, which was appropri-ately dedicated last Tuesday.

It was great to see our vet-erans from World War II, Ko-rea, Vietnam and recent con-flicts participate in raisingthe flag for each branch ofservice. Some of the teamswere father and son tandems(Kip and Dick Benson andVic and John Baccaro).Among the many town resi-dents present were family

members and children. Itwas great to have the McGeeMiddle School band playingthe song of each branch ofservice and strong represen-tation from the Boy ScoutsTroops of Berlin.

The Veterans Memorial,the dedication ceremony andresident participation was agreat sight to see.

All involved in this splen-did project, its planning, anddedication should be veryproud of such a tremendousoutcome.

Sneaker successTo the editor:The Junior Woman’s Club

of Berlin would like to ex-tend a sincere thank you toall who contributed old,stinky sneakers to our re-cent collection of worn outathletic shoes. With the as-sistance of everyone who do-nated, we were able to keep afew pairs of sneakers fromclogging our landfills. Every

year, millions of pairs of ath-letic shoes are thrown away,wasting good recyclable ma-terial. As part of Nike’sReuse-A-Shoe program, wornout athletic shoes are collect-ed, processed, and recycledinto material used in sportssurfaces like basketballcourts, tennis courts, athleticfields, running tracks, andplaygrounds around theworld.

We collected 559 sneakers– not sure what happened tothe mate of sneaker number559. It took one minivan,with all the seats down andstuffed to the max, to get thesneakers to the drop offpoint at the Middletown re-cycling center. That’s a lot ofsneakers.

We would like to thank Su-perintendent of SchoolsDavid Erwin for allowing usto use school facilities to con-duct the collection. Alongwith this, a big thank you tothe office staff at Hubbard,Griswold, and Willard Ele-mentary Schools and McGee

Living with cancer,playing sports,

Balfore keeps it real

By David Balfore

(Each year a select groupof Berlin High School sen-iors have their “exemplarypieces” of writing present-ed, to the Board of Educa-tion. This year’s senior se-lections include: “commend-ed portfolios” by CaitlynBudnick and StephanieSwiatek; and “papers ofdistinction” by David Bal-fore, Mallory Brochu, Jen-nifer Flannery, KevinKosikowski and SamanthaTsun.

Over the next few weeks,The Citizen will publishsome of these writings or ex-cerpts from them. Thisweek’s essay is from a Relayfor Life speech by DavidBalfore.)

Hello, my Name is 31075and I am battling cancer.On June 8, 2008, I was diag-nosed with T-cell lym-phoma at the end of myfreshman year. I found out Ihad this diagnoses when Iwas at spring football prac-tice competing for a varsityspot.

I felt very tired and justwanted to sleep because Ialso had a splittingheadache. My Mom knewsomething was wrong soshe brought me to theemergency room at Con-necticut Children’s Med-ical Center in Hartford. My

first two times going to theemergency room I was onlydiagnosed with Bells Palsy— but on my third visit thedoctor came in and told meI, in fact, had leukemia.

At first I did not knowwhat to think. The firstquestion I asked the doctorwas if I would be able toplay sports. When hereplied “not this year”, Ifelt crushed. But I did notgive up. I told myself Iwould be out on that fieldagain and will just fightthis disease right now. I al-ways told myself I have tostay positive no matterwhat and I will be able toovercome this challengeset before me. I took eachday one step at a time. I hada two month stay at Hart-ford’s Children’s Hospitaland the nurses and doctorsthere made me as comfort-able as I could be, and I amso grateful for that. Withtheir help it made my stayat the Children’s Hospitalmuch easier.

God has helped me dur-ing my time with my sick-ness. I feel very fortunateknowing how lucky I amthat I am able to go througheveryday knowing that Iwill be okay. I feel like Godhas watched over me andhas kept me safe during my

ing on over the case of Tanya

time at the Children’s Hospi-tal. I believe he has a plan forme in the future to do some-thing good with my life. To-day I know I would verymuch like to help people and Iam pursuing a nursing ca-reer because I care about peo-ple. I don’t know where Iwould be today without myfamily, friends, coaches andmy wonderful girlfriend.

The first eight months oftreatment were rough but Ifound a way to overcome thatand still do normal everydaythings. After getting out ofthe hospital, from when I wasfirst diagnosed about twomonths later, I had to go backto the hospital once a weekfor treatment. 1 had my downdays which I’m sure manyother cancer survivors orpeople still battling cancercan relate to, but I did not letthat get to me. I rememberpeople thinking I was crazytrying to play AAU basketballwhen still going throughsome intense chemo. It wastough getting up and downthe court because I would getwinded very easily. Also Icouldn’t even reach the hoopwhen I first started shootingbecause I did not have thestrength yet. I did not give upthough because I knew if Ikept running and liftingeventually it would get easierand easier and all of mystrength would return to meas long as I never gave up.What I told myself everydaywas to not let my illness get

the best of me. All the hardwork and determination paidoff for me. By the end of theseason I was able to makethree-pointers and run upand down the court withoutgetting as tired as when I firststarted playing.

By the time football seasoncame around I was only goingfor treatment once a month. Iwas excited for footballthough because I really didmiss playing with all myfriends and was eager to getback out there with all themembers of the football teambecause they are like familyto me. I could have taken theeasy way out and waited untilmy senior year to play againbut I was determined andwilling to fight back and notlet leukemia stop me fromhaving fun. I played mostlyJV but I was okay with thatbecause I was just happy tobe playing again. I was will-ing to do anything to help myteam out. When I got to go inand play varsity I never felthappier in my life. I can re-member racking up 11 tack-les vs. Tolland and recover-ing a fumble vs. Weaver. Myfavorite moment was feelingemotional just because I wasextremely happy and I lovedthe cheers I received from allthe fans at Sage Park thatnight. I will probably alwaysremember that night and ap-preciate the town of Berlinbecause I think in theirhearts they were rooting forme to do something good.

McDowell’s “stealing” an ed-ucation for her son by en-rolling him in the wrongschool district by using afalse address, how do weknow that it is not happeningin our town?

How does the Board of Ed-ucation verify enrollment in-formation?

It’s easy to give a grandpar-ent’s or friend’s address wholives in Berlin or if parentworks in town to use that ad-dress. It’s been done beforeand could be going on now.How far is the informationthat is given really checked?

MellocrestContinued from page 3

Gagliardi said. “The businessperked up. Before, the pintwas big” but with the inven-tion of freezers on top, and asappliance size grew, so didthe desire for half-gallons andboxes of product, such asPopsicles.

By the 1970s, larger corpo-rations were beginning todominate the market and as“the little man and independ-ent business,” it was time tophase out the Mellocrest era,Gagliardi said.

Although the business isgone — and now the building— Gagliardi keeps a re-minder of that era with him.His license plate reads “Mel-lo” and it’s not unusual forpeople in town to stop himand ask if that’s related to theold ice-cream distributorshipcompany.

Nutmeg Games coming to townBy Nick Carroll

The Berlin Citizen

Berlin will host several eventsduring the 2011 Nutmeg StateGames, July 23 to August 7.

Softball, baseball, lacrosse andsoccer will be played at Sage Park,more baseball will take place at theBill Petit Little League Complex, andConnecticut Amateur Jai-Alai willhouse the jai-alai competition.

The Nutmeg Games are a multi-sport, Olympic-style event open toConnecticut residents age 6 to 18.

According to Patrick Fisher, asso-ciate executive director of theGames, the annual competitionseeks to “contribute positively to thephysical, mental and emotionalgrowth of our athletes.”

“Competitive athletics lays thefoundation for positive, life-long

habits that con-tribute to a healthylifestyle and teachesteam work, sports-manship and re-spect for others,”Fisher added.

Scores of athletes,fans, volunteers andcollege scouts will

be coming through Berlin for theGames. That bodes well for localbusinesses.

“The Nutmeg State Games willbring over 6,000 participants, plusparents, family members, specta-tors, high school coaches and nu-merous college coaches to CentralConnecticut and the Town of Berlinduring the two-week long event,”said Fisher.

New Britain is the host city for the2011 Games.

Golfer with ‘Berlin blood’wins New Englands


One could say The Town ofBerlin dominated the New Eng-land High School Girls Golf Re-gional Championship last week.

Berlin High School’s represen-tatives at the tournament, AlyssaScheyd and Victoria Fagan, bothshot 79 and finished in the Top 10at the event, held June 20 in NewHampshire.

BHS coach Jim Barnes said hisgirls did “very well.” But anothergolfer with local ties shone bright-

est that day.Westborough, Massachusetts’

Ali Reed won the New Englandtournament with a 75, besting therunner-up by one stroke.

Reed’s parents, Bruce Reed andDebi Poppel, are Berlin HighSchool alumni, and Ali lived intown as a baby.

Reed graduated from highschool last week and will attendMerrimack College on a golfscholarship.

Scheyd will continue her careerat Lehigh University. Fagan is en-tering her senior year at BHS.


The Citizen is taking a look backat the year in Berlin High Schoolathletics, a year when champi-onships were claimed, history wasmade and records were broken.

This week …. Fall 2010:FOOTBALL: Back-to-back state

titles were not to be, but, for the mostpart, Berlin still dominated.

The senior-led Redcoats rolledthrough their regular season sched-ule, captured the Central Connecti-cut Conference Division III champi-onship and earned the No. 1 seed inthe CIAC Class M state playoffs.

That’s where the locals hit thewall.

Berlin fell to eighth-seed and even-tual Class M champion Hillhouse, 33-30, in the quarterfinals.

“You’re just so disappointed forthe kids. You really feel for them.You want them to have success andachieve all their goals. You’re disap-pointed for them,” BHS coach JohnCapodice said following the Hill-house loss. “But only four teams willfinish the season happy. You have tobe realistic.”

The Redcoats wrapped up their2010 campaign with a record of 10-1.

BOYS SOCCER: The Redcoatsmade history as they battled theirway to the state semifinals, a first forthe program.

on the field,” BHS coach Dave Fran-calangia said.

“You don’t want to look back 10,15 years down the road and say toyourself ‘what could have been?Could I have worked harder?’ And Idon’t think they’re going to have todo that.”

GIRLS SOCCER: The Lady Red-coats shook off the graduation of aton of talent and turned in a solidcampaign.

Berlin earned the 12th seed in theCIAC Class L state tournament andadvanced to the second roundwhere it fell to No. 5 Daniel Hand-Madison, 1-0, in overtime.

The locals rolled up an overallrecord of 11-5-1, a so-so year by LadyRedcoat standards.

“We pride ourselves on running aprogram, not just a team each year,”BHS coach Steve Yanosy said. “Ican’t say enough about how hardthese kids worked this year. Theyknew it was their time.”

VOLLEYBALL: This was a mem-orable year for veteran Berlin coachBob Tarigo, in his 29th year at thehelm, as the Lady Redcoats handedhim his 400th career victory.

“I’m very honored. The 400th winis nice. I never thought about doing

coats fell to top seed Bunnell-Strat-ford, 2-1, in the Final Four. The gamecame down to penalty kicks.

Cream of the cropPost 68 dealing withgrowing pains

By Jim BransfieldSpecial to The Citizen

The BerlinPost 68 Amer-ican Legionbaseball teamis three yearsr e m o v e d

from its Northeast RegionalChampionship and World Se-ries appearance, and it’s aBrave New World for RobManzo’s team.

“We’re starting four play-ers who haven’t played at thislevel, and it’s different,” saidManzo, whose club was 3-5 inZone 3 at the start of theweek. “We have some veter-ans, but the other kids have toget used to the speed of thegame at the Legion level.That maybe explains some ofour tough losses, but the guysneed to play.”

Berlin has lost fourwinnable Zone 3 games, eachin excruciating fashion. Post68 lost to Guilford when itscored twice in the top of theseventh, and lost to Madisonon a wild pitch the catchercouldn’t find and the runnerscored all the way from sec-ond.

Berlin also lost 4-3 to Guil-ford and 2-1 to Zone leaderMiddletown when whatwould have been a game-win-ning hit in the bottom of theseventh was six inches fouldown the right field line.

On the next pitch, that hit-ter struck out and Middle-town escaped with the win.

“We had a lot of chances”in the Middletown game, saidManzo. “But we weren’ttough in big situations at theplate. We’re competitive, butwe’re not getting the big hit,and we didn’t tonight. Weheld a good team to two runs,and lost.”

Against Middletown,which began its week 9-1,Berlin took a 1-0 lead in thesecond, but left the basesloaded when Colin Sledzikstruck out Austin Barnes.Berlin got the leadoff man onin the third, but Middletownturned a double play to endthat inning.

Berlin, 3-7-1 overall, hadrunners on second and third

with one out in the fourth,but couldn’t score as Sledzikgot Andrew Dornfried tobounce to second with the in-field in, and struck out losingpitcher Will Matuszak.

Manzo’s team had a run-ner at second with no one outin the fifth, but the next threehitters went quietly. Then inthe seventh, Berlin had run-ners on second and thirdwith two outs, but Mike Per-no, after just missing the foulline with his line drive, took acalled third strike to end thegame.

“[Jeff] Sylvester, Dorn-fried, Perno and [Kyle]Naples are all playing at thislevel for the first time. AndKevin Devivo, my catcher,was a backup last year. So, re-ally, half of our starters arenew,” said Manzo. “I have agood core of veterans in Ma-tuszak, Barnes, Brendan Ger-mano and Sean Sylvester, butit takes time. The newer kidsare learning on the fly. That’sthe overall scenario we’redealing with.”

Berlin, like most Legionteams, has little time to rest.The 24-game zone schedule

hearing about Tough Mudderat Average Joe’s was that theevent was “way out” of herleague. Her curiosity hadbeen piqued, however. “Theobstacles drew me in, andeven though it was 10 miles,which is more than I haveever run, there were 28 obsta-cles in between, which madeit seem very interesting tome,” she said. “Lots of mud,fire, ice, electric shock, freez-ing cold water — and did Imention mud?”

All eight of the Average Joe’s athletes who took part inTough Mudder completed the challenge. They are:Mark Brester, Craig Holland, Karen Shaw, Deb Par-adis, Collin Sideranko, Kelly Gilchrist, Beth Frugaleand Theresa Vallera.

Paradis participated in a“boot camp” at Average Joe’s,and would run on her own.

Paradis also spent timepreparing her mind; shewatched Tough Muddervideos, read testimonialsfrom past participants, andtried “to imagine what itwould be like that day.”

“It’s very hard to preparefor the unexpected,” she said.

In all, Paradis dedicatedeight weeks to getting primedfor Tough Mudder. Thatturned out to be enough to gether over the finish line, butParadis admits she wasn’t100 percent ready for whatshe faced at Mount Snow.

“Those mountains werebrutal. The mountains weresteep,” she said. “There were

times that we had to crawl upon all fours. We were in mudup to our shins. There wasstill snow and ice on themountains, so it was quite achallenge trying to navigatethrough that.”

Also, Paradis never expect-ed to feel a sense of dread atTough Mudder, but she did af-ter splashing into a freezingpond from 15 feet above.“Once I surfaced, my bodyjust froze,” she said. “I could-n’t move, my muscles would-n’t work and I felt myselfpanicking. I couldn’t breatheand couldn’t swim to shore.”

A fellow Tough Mudder —a stranger — came to Par-adis’ aid. “Once I got out, Ijust started crying andthought I couldn’t go on,” shesaid.

But in the spirit of ToughMudder, Paradis’ teammatesconvinced her to completethe final five miles.

“Everyone was very en-couraging through the entirecourse,” Paradis said. “Evenpeople we didn’t know wouldgo out of their way to helpout and keep us focused andencouraged to finish. Weneeded each other for sup-port, encouragement, and tophysically help each otherget up, over, under andthrough each obstacle.”

Oddly, the obstacle thatmost threatened to knockParadis out of Tough Mudderwas encountered prior to the

event. Two weeks before thecompetition, Paradis washospitalized with kidneystones. She had surgery sev-eral days later.

“I didn’t think I was goingto be able to participate,” shesaid, pointing out that hertraining had to be put on holdfor two weeks during the kid-ney stone ordeal. However,two days out from ToughMudder, Paradis said “I felt

great. I was back to work. Mypain was gone. So I called mydoctor and he gave me thegreen light to participate. Iwas back in the game.”

Crossing the finish line atTough Mudder is somethingParadis will never forget. Herhusband and daughter await-ed her there.

“I would encourage any-one thinking about signingup, to go for it. It’s hard work,but it’s well worth it at theend,” said Paradis. “It cer-tainly lives up to its claim tobe the toughest event on theplanet.”

Down the road, Paradisplans to try another ToughMudder. Her husband al-ready signed on for one beingheld this November in NewJersey.

Tough Mudder raises mon-ey for the Wounded WarriorProject, a nonprofit organiza-tion whose mission is to “hon-or and empower woundedwarriors” of the United StatesArmed Forces.

Celebrating 15 Years Of Local History

From The Citizen archives, last week of June,first week of July

July 2, 1997The ‘Tiger Woods effect’ comes to Timberlin Golf Course — There is no question.

Since Tiger Woods started playing on the PGA tour, the sport of golf has increased in pop-ularity among the youth of America. The town of Berlin is a microcosm of that effect.

July 8, 1998Officer joins youth division — Officer Donna Manning, who joined the Berlin Police

department in 1988, was transferred last week from the patrol division to the youth divi-sion.

“The work load has incrased dramatically in the number of cases involving youth aseither a victim or perpertrator,” police Chief Gerald Charamut said.

July 5, 2000Town pursues land for new community center — In May, a town-funded poll re-

vealed that residents are in favor of building a new community center with an indoorpool and gymnasium.

July 2, 2003Council members say vote was legal — Former Mayor Arthur Powers has ques-

tioned the legality of the Town Council’s June 3 vote regarding plans for a new commu-nity center.

Jortner takes over as Dems chairman — After nearly a decade of leading the De-mocratic Town Committee, Charles Warner is handing the job over to one of his closefriends.

June 30, 2004Sage Park field to be ready by summer’s end — If everything goes as planned, town

officials say that residents will be able to play sports on a new artificial turf field at SagePark by the end of the summer.

July 3, 2008Kemp in no hurry to relocate — As of Monday June 30, Mayor Adam Salina said the

town and the town manager were still “going back and forth” to come up with a mutual-ly satisfactory agreement to resolve Roger Kemp’s long-term employment in Berlin.

July 2, 2009Council approves interim trash pick-up system — After a second emergency spe-

cial meeting by the Town Council June 29, Mayor Adam Salina encouraged residents touse the newly-delivered automated trash cans for refuse pick-up beginning July 6.
