The project fills “a missing niche,”said Hellyn Riggins, director of thetown’s planning department. Peoplewho have a new job, or not enough eq-uity to buy a home yet, may find thissuits their housing needs withoutbreaking the budget. “There are peo-ple raised in Berlin who would like tostay here and can’t afford a house. Ifqualified, this gives them a chance tolive here,” she said.

Workforce housing zoning wasadopted by the Planning and Zoning

Commission in 2010.

Take time to read in the shadeduring lazy days

Citizen photo by Olivia L. Lawrence

Look into your local libraries for summer readingideas. The entrance to the Berlin-Peck Memorial Li-brary beckons.

(This summer, The Citizenis running a variety of storiesaround the theme of “summerreading.” It’s a great time tokick back and pick up a book.We’ve been asking folksaround town what’s on theirsummer reading list. If you’dlike to share your favoritebooks with our readers send ina list and brief reviews [email protected] this week’s edition staff atthe Berlin-Peck Memorial Li-brary share their sugges-tions.)

Betsy Piskorski, circula-tion assistant

“So many good books, solittle time.”

Berlin Peck Memorial is of-fering a teen/adult book dis-cussion on Tuesday, Aug. 9, at7 p.m. The book is The Art ofRacing in the Rain by GarthStein. This is one of my all-time favorite books and thestory is told by one of themain characters who hap-pens to be a dog. A wonderfulnovel and a fast read. All

readers are welcome to thebook discussion.

I love “chick lit” andwould recommend anythingby Rachel Gibson and Kris-tan Higgins. They both havelikeable characters and useself-depracating humor intheir stories. Great reads fora day at the beach.

For those who like bookswith more substance, I justfinished Michael Connelly’sThe Fifth Witness. His maincharacter is defense lawyer,Mickey Haller, who knows

how to work the legal sys-tem. Cleverly written andwell plotted, it’s a welcomechange from TV reruns.

After winning one, shebegan to get offers for model-ing work in New York Cityand subsequently movedthere. The move was partial-ly because of a relationshipthat ended and left her heart-broken — an experience that“helps the greatest songwrit-

Suez Canal. The Frenchterms for the titles (rarelyused) are comte andcomtesse.

units. A resident services co-ordinator will be part of theproject and will help resi-dents with various aspects ofcommunity life.

Typically, units are pre-leased prior to completion, sothose interested may want to

look into the requirementssoon. The management de-partment is now takingnames for those interested inapplying. An informationpacket will be sent out in Au-gust. Call (860) 674-5627 formore information.

Workforce housing is theonly housing program that ispart of Internal Revenue Ser-

vices code: a federal low-in-come tax credit program, IRScode Section 42.

The Deming Road projectswill include: one-bedroomunits for a person earningless than $14,000 annuallyrenting for $200 a month.Those earning $30,000 or lesswould pay $600 and a two-bed-room, for a family with in-come less than $41,000, wouldbe between $800 and $900.

Each unit will have a pri-vate entrance and a patio inthe “beautifully landscaped”complex, Nassau said. Twobedroom units have one and ahalf baths and units have ei-ther laundry hook-ups or

there will be a communitylaundry room on site.

It is not unusual to findservice workers in business-es along the Berlin Turnpikecorridor who live in substan-dard housing or housing thatmay meet an immediateneed, such as a motel, butthat is an expensive situationin the long-term.

Metro Realty Group Limit-ed is a Farmington-based de-veloper, constuction andmanagement company. Pre-viously, the company devel-oped over 300 units of senior

housing in Berlin, includingOrchard Ridge and Stone-bridge. Metro has also devel-oped units in Avon andFarmington. The last nonage-restricted project was in1999. Since then, the compa-ny had been focusing on age-restricted development. Butrecently, more inquiries havecome in in regards to hous-ing for families with chil-dren “who want to work andstay in their communitiesand who are looking for sup-port (for this goal) in neigh-borhoods,” Nassau said.

Stafford, components thatwill help him to succeed. Inaddition, with the size of theschool, comes more staff,such as two assistant princi-pals compared to one atStafford.

Kennedy replaces MattHarnett who left after justone academic year to take ajob nearer to home. Kennedy,who was appointedby the Board of Educationlast week, said he was askedby many constituents, howlong he planned to stay inBerlin if he took the job.

“It’s an important ques-tion,” Kennedy said, describ-ing himself as “very commit-ted.” He pointed out his 15years as principal at SHS —18 years total in that district— as an example of his com-mitment. He acknowlegedthat the quick turnover inthe position the last time

around did make many peo-ple more atuned to the issueof commitment to the com-munity.

“I’m not fickle, I stick withit,” he said. “I don’t take thedecision to move lightly. Ilooked at Berlin very careful-ly.” The goals for BHSare complex and require aperson who will see themthrough, Kennedy said,adding that he is that person.He expects to see the pro-gram upgrades and the up-coming renovate-as-new con-struction project “which willtake several years to com-plete, through to fruition.”

Superintendent of SchoolDavid Erwin said Kennedy’slongevity at his prior job wasone of the favorable factorsthe applicant brought to thetable. “We looked at thelength of time he was a sit-ting principal…it’s not easyto be the principal in oneplace for 15 years.”

Other qualifications thatmade Kennedy stand out, in

the final field of six top can-didates, was his experienceat SHS with the renovate-as-new process. Furthermore,he is a commissioner withthe New England Associa-tion of Schools and Colleges.“His insight will be invalu-able when it’s time for re-ac-credidation,” Erwin said.

He described Kennedy as“down to earth, bright and agood listener.”

Kennedy will begin workat BHS intermittently dur-ing July, as a transition peri-od, and then come on at fullcapacity in August.

He talked about the stigmaof the principal’s office foranyone who found them-selves called there, whetherthat was a student, parent orstaff. Kennedy said he wants

to put out the message thatcoming to his office meansyou’ll find “someone to talkto, someone with a sense ofhumor and a person withhigh expectations” and someone who clearly exhibits hiswork ethic.

“We live in a complex,competitve world and wehave to prepare our studentsfor this,” Kennedy said.

“With the pendingchanges about to explode,”Kennedy said, taking theBerlin job was an excitingopportunity. He also de-scribed changes going on atthe school that are less visi-ble, such as the new programof studies and the change ingraduation requirements aswell as the district’s in-creased focus on literacy.

“Berlin will not ever standstill, it’s an exciting place,”Kennedy said.

Kennedy lives in Tollandwith his wife and two chil-dren. He grew up in Water-town and attended publicschools there for a while be-fore transferring to Catholicschools: St. John’s Evange-list School in Watertownand, later, Sacred Heart inWaterbury.

He later earned bachelorand master degrees from theConnecticut State Universitysystem and an administra-tive certificate from the Uni-versity of Connecticut. Pre-viously, he’s worked as a li-brary media specialist andassistant principal.

“It was a quiet life,”Kennedy said of his earlyyears. “Berlin is very muchlike the place I grew up.”

Kennedy said, “I’m notbashful about standing up infront of stakeholders to talkabout a vision for a new di-rection.” But on the otherhand, he’s happy to “helpchange a tire in the rain. I’ma Boy Scout at heart.”

Kennedy was a Boy Scoutand “I never lost that,” hesaid. His two sons are BoyScouts, too, and he volun-teers with their troop. Hesaid he tells them to “do agood turn daily…and I try toinstill this in students.”

Recommendations:The Hypnotist by Lars Ke-

pler: a Swedish thriller beingpromoted as “the”mystery book of the summer.

Untold Story by MonicaAli: what if Princess Dianasurvived the accident andcame to America to live un-der an assumed name ?

Carrie Tyszka, referenceLibrarian

There are two books I’veread recently that I seem tobe suggesting to everyonelately (book descriptions arefrom Amazon.com):

One Day by David Nicholls.This book will be a moviecoming out in August. Bookdescription: It’s 1988 and Dex-ter Mayhew and Emma Mor-ley have only just met. But af-

ter only one day together,they cannot stop thinkingabout one another. Over 20years, snapshots of that rela-tionship are revealed on thesame day—July 15 —of eachyear.

Room by EmmaDonoghue. I listened to thisbook on CD in my car. It wasso good that I would purpose-ly take long drives just to lis-ten to it. Book description:To five-year-old-Jack,“Room” is the world. It’swhere he was born, it’swhere he and his Ma eat and

sleep and play and learn.Room is home to Jack, but toMa it’s the prison where shehas been held for sevenyears. Room is a tale at onceshocking, riveting, exhila-rating — a story of uncon-querable love in harrowingcircumstances, and of the di-amond-hard bond between amother and her child.

Two books on my list toread this summer:

What Alice Forgot byLiane Moriarty. Book de-scription: What would hap-pen if you were visited by

your younger self, and got achance for a do-over? AliceLove is 29, madly in love withher husband, and pregnantwith their first child. Soimagine her surprise when,after a fall, she comes to onthe floor of a gym (a gym?she hates the gym) and dis-covers that she’s actually 39,has three children, and is inthe midst of an acrimoniousdivorce. A knock on the headhas misplaced ten years ofher life, and Alice isn’t sureshe likes who she’s become.

The Adults by Alison Es-

pach. Book description: Inher ruefully funny andwickedly perceptive debutnovel, Alison Espach deftlydissects matters of the heartand captures the lives ofchildren and adults as theycome to terms with life,death, and love. An irre-sistible chronicle of a mod-ern young woman’s struggleto grow up, The Adults laysbare—in perfect pitch—aworld where an adult and achild can so dangerously bemistaken for the same exactthing.

How Hannah helped me to find my way — fearlesslyBy Caitlyn Budnick

(Each year a select group ofBerlin High School seniorshave their “exemplary pieces”of writing presented, to theBoard of Education. Over thenext few weeks, The Citizenwill publish some of thesewritings or excerpts fromthem. This week’s excerpt isfrom Caitlyn Budnick’s com-mended portfolio.)

Hannah entered my life ina whirlwind, a benevolenttornado turning my life up-side down. She exited just assuddenly, as a wave retreat-ing from shore and leavingme alone on the beach,changed forever. There arepeople who walk in and outof our lives every day, butonly a few make a difference.Hannah is that person forme. She was in my life for

only a year, but her influencestill reverberates within me,even four years later.

I met Hannah, just aroundthe time of my middle schoolcareer, when teachers wereall over us about the dangerof the Internet and chatrooms. I was only twelvewhen I joined a Harry Potterwebsite. Harry Potter was anobvious choice: I all but de-voured the books. As a resultof growing up with my noseperpetually stuck in a book, Iwas among the shyest girls inmy grade. Joining a chatroom was a crazy, out-of-my-comfort-zone move that stillsurprises me today. However,the website allowed me tomaintain my shy anonymityand, through the people I metand the experiences I had, fa-cilitated a transition fromthe person I was to who I am

now. My experience in thechat rooms was nothing likethose teachers said it wouldbe.

For instance, that waswhere I met Hannah Krom, anative of Nashua, N. H. andthe girl who changed my lifeforever.

Hannah was sick with pul-monary hypertension, with alife expectancy of 20 years atthe most. What struck meabout Hannah was how shedid not let her chronic illnessdefine her; it was merely afact of her existence. She hadthat lust for living and a lightthat shone all the waythrough. She lived by a sim-ple belief: “Life may not bethe party you asked for, but aslong as you’re here you mightas well dance.”

Hannah knew that some-times circumstances in lifeare not going to be favorable,but there is no reason to giveup. She was dying, but thatdid not stop her from wantingto go to school every day soshe could move on to highschool. She did everythingthat she wanted to and foughtfor what she believed in. Shecould have used her Make-A-

Wish wish for anything, butshe sacrificed it so that shegot the chance to meet me,one of her pen pals, after onlyknowing me a short time.Through her — everythingshe showed me and did — I re-alized that life is what I makeof it and there are no reasonsto let the obstacles in my waykeep me from living it. Han-nah may have only lived untilthe age of 14, but she livedher life in a way I am not sureI can manage: fearlessly.

On the surface, she did notseem to be afraid of any-thing, not even death. Thatwas obviously not true, yetshe showed me that fearless-ness is not about a completeabsence of fear. No one canever let go of fear completely,but it is important to not letfear get in the way.

She left an impression onme that made me realize thatif I never try, none of mydreams will ever come true.That is the only way to en-sure that result because, un-less I try, I will never know.She might have been dying,but is that not true for all ofus? I could die in a day, a year,or 50 years. Should that keepme from going out for what Iwant because I am afraid thatit might not work out? If I didthat I might live my life incontented bliss, never quiteknowing what I am missing,but I would never know whattrue happiness feels like. Isavoiding sadness or disap-pointment really worth it? Itook a risk when I becameHannah’s friend, and choseto meet her in real life, evenafter finding out about thebrevity of her life.

She died only a year afterwe met and, while I was mis-erable for a long time, I foundthat I got more out of thefriendship than just sadness.When the depression passed,I could see everything thatHannah taught me about lifeand how to properly live it.

Celebrating 15 Years Of Local History

From The Citizen archives for the first week of July

July 4, 2001Pool overflow kills fish in nearby brook — An overflow at the Lions Memorial Pool

last week is being blamed for the death of more than 2,000 fish at nearby Hatchery Brook.

July 2, 2003Council members return from Berlin, Germany — Town officials made business

contact and learned about German government while on a weeklong tour of several Ger-man cities in June.

Budget woes trickle down to summer programs — The Parks and Recreation De-partment whas increased the price of the summer playground program this year becauseof budget restraints.

July 7, 2004Locals divided over Stop & Shop — The Planning and Zoning Commission decided

to continue the public hearing on the proposed Super Stop & Shop for a second time sothat commission members could examine material presented by experts hired by A & P.

July 6, 2006Petrovic finishes 2-over at Buick Championship — Former Berlin resident Tim

Petrovic finished tied for 59th at the 2006 Buick Championship at River Highlands inCromwell.

July 5, 2007Smile when you see Lavery Lane — The dedication of Lavery Lane was a gesture of

healing and an opportunity to make people smile whenever they see the street sign and re-member Peter Lavery, said officials at the June 28 event.

What is it?A “high five” to June Norton for the first correct an-

swer to last week’s “What is it?” photo. June wrote:“The statues of American icons were once part of theBerlin Turnpike scene, I’m not certain, but I think itwas near Germano Fence Co. that also sold sheds andgazebos. The turnpike was often called gasoline alleybecause of the many gas stations and also called DeathValley — no explanation needed.”

June, one of the frequent responders to the “what isit” feature was pretty close. The replicas of MarilynMonroe and the Statue of Liberty were, at one time,landmarks on the turnpike. Those statues and otherswere found at Janice’s Village, which sold various yardaccessories. The business now specializes in outdoorplayground equipment.

HannahContinued from page 12

Life is not about how longwe are here on this earth; it isabout what we do with ourtime here. I am no longerafraid to go after what I wantto do because I know that Ionly have one chance to goout and get it. Hannah has al-lowed this change to occur inme. This past year, I steppedpast my comfort zone and ap-plied for the coordinator po-sition within Upbeat, myschool’s peer leadership pro-gram. I wanted it with everyounce of my being, yet it ter-rified me. However, if I hadnot gone for it, I would nothave the confidence andskills as a leader that I havegained since I was chosen for

the position. In the same way,I am heading down a careerpath that will not be easy as alifestyle, yet there is nothingI would rather do. I do notknow what I could do other-wise that would be so fulfill-ing. Reading brings me suchjoy and connects me with somany people that I want tohelp books make a differencein the world for the years tocome. I believe that I can thatas an editor at a publishingcompany. It takes great au-thors to write the books, butthey also need someone todiscover and publish thebooks that are going to makethe real difference in theworld.

One day I am going to bethe one finding those booksthat will reach out to peoplelike me all across the world

and change and shape themin the way they did for me.Indirectly, reading led me toHannah. If books had thatmuch power in my life, then I

know there are countlessother miracles that bookscan accomplish. The pub-lishing business is competi-tive but the passion I have for

reading and the belief I havein the power of the writtenword is enough for me to con-tinue working towards thisgoal.

Sports Rewind: Winter ‘Coats thrived

This past winter, the Newington-Berlin co-op ice hockey team claimed its secondstraight Central Connecticut Conference South Division title.

Manzo’s troops hanging tough

By Nick CarrollThe Berlin Citizen

The Citizen is taking alook back at the year inBerlin High School athletics,a year when championshipswere claimed, history wasmade and records were bro-ken.

This week …. Winter 2010-11:

BOYS BASKETBALL:Heading into the season,prognosticators didn’t seethe Redcoats doing much.But Berlin players had otherideas.

Without much size, andwith a revamped startinglineup, the Redcoats wouldrun up a stellar record of 19-6 and advance to the quarter-finals of the state tourna-ment for the first time since2006.

The locals ended their reg-ular season with an eight-game win streak.

“This team was the mostunselfish team I have evercoached,” BHS coach MikeVeneziano said. “They caredabout each other and theyhad each others’ backthroughout the season. I re-ally believe I had the tough-est kids in the state thisyear.”

Berlin earned the No. 5

By Nick CarrollThe Berlin Citizen

Even an off yearfor Berlin baseball is-n’t that bad.

Despite competingminus several guys it

had expected to have in uniform thissummer, Berlin Post 68 is hangingtough. At press time, the youngAmerican Legion club was still with-in striking distance of earning aspot in the state tournament play-in.

To qualify for the play-in, a teammust win at least 13 of its 24 zonegames. Berlin was 6-8 in Zone 3 head-ing into this week.

“We’re just trying to get betterevery day,” Post 68 manager RobManzo said. “Yeah, we’re trying to

win. But it’s been more about tryingto develop some of these guys, teach-ing them the game, working on thefundamentals, and playing hard andhaving energy.”

With his roster lacking in size,Manzo was forced to promote severalJunior Legion players this season —most likely before they were ready tomake the leap.

“It’s awfully difficult to compete atthis level when you don’t have themajority of the best players playingin town,” said Manzo.

But the veteran coach has no com-plaints about his team’s work ethic,pointing out that players showed upa half hour early for Sunday morn-ing batting practice this past week-end.

“We have a lot of high-characterkids … They’re putting in extrahours. I give the guys credit,” saidManzo, adding that Post 68’s veter-ans have “taken a lot on their shoul-ders.”

One of the team’s older guys isAustin Barnes. The recent BerlinHigh School graduate is Post 68’s toppitcher, but has been used sparinglyso as not to burn out his arm for thecollege season.

With Barnes taking the hill justonce every five days or so, Post 68 hasleaned on other hurlers, includingConnor Bennett and Tim Norton.“Those are two young guys that havecome up through the system, thatwe’ll be relying on the rest of theway,” Manzo said.

At the plate, Mike Perno has had agood stretch as of late.

Jamie Brancato also has gotten itdone offensively, and in the field.“He’s done a great job for us so farthis summer,” Manzo said of Bran-cato, a second baseman. “He has justreally improved and turned himselfinto a nice little ballplayer.”

As a team, Post 68 is batting in the.260 range, which Manzo pointed outis respectable in a wood bat league.“We’re starting to swing the bats alittle better, but we just haven’t put ittogether consistently,” he said.“That’s just a sign of a team that has-n’t been there before.”

The locals’ defense has been most-ly rock solid. Post 68’s fielding per-centage is over .960.

seed in the CIAC Class Lstate tournament where itrattled off three straightwins before falling to No. 4Lyman Hall-Wallingford, 51-42, in the Elite 8.

During the season, BHSsenior Max DeLorenzoscored his 1,000th point andpulled down his 500th re-bound.

GIRLS BASKETBALL:Having lost four starters to

graduation, expectationsweren’t particularly high forthe Lady Redcoats. But aswas the case with their malecounterparts, the locals be-lieved in themselves.

The new-look Berlinsquad capped its regularseason with a nine-gamewin streak and garnered theNo. 8 seed in the CIAC ClassL state tournament. There,the Lady Redcoats won two

games before running out ofsteam. Berlin fell to top seedBacon Academy, 52-41, in thequarterfinals and ended theseason with a mark of 17-7.

Back-to-back losses in ear-ly-January lit a fire underthe Lady Redcoats. “Theywere getting a bit frustrat-ed,” BHS coach Shelia Kingsaid after her team rightedthe ship. “But they neverhave stopped working. So

maybe we will peak at theright time.”

Berlin has advanced be-yond the first round of thestate tournament four yearsin a row.

WRESTLING: The Red-coats took a step in the rightdirection.

After turning in some un-Berlin-like seasons in recentyears, this past winter, theRedcoats crowned two indi-vidual state champions andfinished a respectable fourthat the CIAC Class M tourna-ment.

“Our goal was to be Top 3.But if you were to ask any-one in the Berlin communityat the start of the season ifwe’d be in the Top 10, theywould have told you you’recrazy. It just goes to showhow hard this team hasworked,” first-year BHScoach C.J. McCormack said.

Berlin seniors Mason Pow-ers (215) and Mike Fiorillo(171) claimed state titles in2011.

Prior to the Class M tour-nament, the Redcoats placedthird at the Central Con-necticut Conference SouthDivision competition.

Powers and Fiorillo weretops in their CCC South

During the regular season, Ma-tuszak earned his 100th career victory.The senior went on to place third inClass M and fifth at the State Open —Berlin’s best finish there.

ICE HOCKEY: The second-yearNewington-Berlin team proved its in-augural season was no aberration.

The local co-op defended its CentralConnecticut Conference South Divi-sion title this past winter and rolled upa regular season record of 13-6-1. New-ington-Berlin earned the fifth seed inthe CIAC Division III state tournamentwhere it fell to No. 4 seed, and eventualchampion, Watertown-Pomperaug, 4-2,in the quarterfinals.

During the regular season Newing-ton-Berlin had the opportunity to playan outdoor game at Rentschler Field aspart of the Whalers Hockey Festival.

“It’s exciting,” Newington-Berlincoach Dave Harackiewicz said. “It’ll bea once in a lifetime experience, sowe’re really looking forward to it.”

songs, “Money can’t buy youclass” and “Chic C’est la Vie.”“The Real Housewives ofNew York City” is a docu-dra-ma, part documentary, partdrama. The producers planthe meetings and the events,but the dialogue and actionsare spontaneous. The produc-ers edit to heighten and high-light the drama. “(the showdisplays) a part of who weare,” said de Lesseps, “andusually the sucky part.”

Recently, de Lesseps partic-ipated in a charity called“City Harvest.” The charity

gathers unused food fromrestaurants and stores anddistributes it to communityfood programs. Becausethere was no drama, theshow’s editors cut thefootage.

However, there is a nuggetof reality in the show.Through the four years thatthe show aired, televisionviewers witnessed deLesseps’s divorce with herhusband and her effort toraise two kids. “It’s inspira-tional for other women,” shesaid.

“My parents and my fami-ly are responsible for thewoman I am today.” It was inBerlin that she learned how

to become an elegant person,she claims. “I learned how tobe charming to get what Iwanted from my brothersand sisters.” de Lesseps re-members her mother as aperson who always had herhair done, always makingtime for herself. “My parentshad great dignity and in-tegrity.”

Her parents, Roland andRolande Nadeau, both grewup in Canada. Roland diedseven years ago from cancer,but Rolande Nadeau stilllives in Berlin, the house thatde Lesseps grew up in.

Roland Nadeau was abuilder and developer. “Hehad the eye for the right

piece of land,” recalledRolande Nadeau. Berlin hadmore farms during the 1960swhen they came here. RolandNadeau bought a farm, sub-divided the land, and builthouses.

“I just did my job as a par-ent,” said Rolande Nadeau.“I’m proud that she can ac-complish so many things.”Rolande Nadeau said that asa wife of a builder, she had tobe ready to talk to customers,and that required dressingwell. It became habit. “It’s

just the nature that I am,”she said. “I didn’t pose as aclassy person.”

“We started down (near)the bottom and built up,”Nadeau said. “We startedwith $35.”

When asked how shepulled off her Cinderella sto-ry, de Lesseps said that shewas not afraid to change,travel and experience newand different things. “Youcan always go home,” shesaid.
