Tip-A-Cop a success

The first ever Tip-A-Cop Night, held April 15, was a success, with a great turnout, according to Detective and D.A.R.E. coordinator Doug Bartolomeo.

The D.A.R.E. officers came together, volunteering their time this night, as servers at Central Pizza, with all the tips they earned going to sup-port the D.A.R.E. program in

Berlin’s schools.A police car outside the

restaurant advertised the event with flashing lights, in addition to the banners hang-ing near the entrance.

“The restaurant has bent over backwards for us,” Bartolomeo said.

Police officers chatted with patrons, and carried food and drinks, until finally collecting tips as they cleared the tables.

While school has yet to let out for summer, some of the town’s youth were getting an early jump on what’s sure to be one of their va-cation activities.

Timberlin Golf Course held a junior clinic last week, coinciding with April vacation. Twenty-six in-trepid youngsters ranging in age from 4 to 13 came out to the local public course to learn more about the game.

“I was very impressed with how well-behaved and engaged the ju-nior golfers were this week, even with the poor weather,” Timberlin Pro Marc Bayram said. “They are the future of the game and the fu-ture of Timberlin. It was an abso-lute pleasure to teach them about the game I grew to love when I was their age.”

Throughout the week, kids went over several aspects of the game, in-cluding full swings, putting, and the rules, among other things.

“My favorite part of teaching the game of golf to the youth of Berlin is to not only teach the basic fun-damentals of the swing, but to also educate them on the life skills golf teaches,” Bayram said. “Honesty, in-tegrity, and respect are just a few

life skills that golf can teach, and I feel it is important for young golf-ers to understand them and their relation to the game.”

One of the highlights of the week was the presence of a large inflatable kangaroo that Timberlin borrowed from the Connecticut Section PGA. Throughout the week, kids practiced their chipping by trying to land the ball inside the

kangaroo’s pouch.“When introducing youngsters

to the game, I feel it is important to make it fun,” Bayram said. “The kangaroo was a great time for them and helped keep them engaged throughout the week.”

Timberlin will run five additional week-long clinics throughout the summer months. For more informa-tion, visit www.timberlingolf.com.

The annual budget referendum will be held Tuesday, April 29, and council members of both parties have spoken about efforts to increase turnout. Last year, only 1,173 people – 8 percent of registered voters – voted in the budget referendum.

Polls will be open from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. Polling places include American Legion Post 68, Willard school, Hubbard school, Griswold school, and the Senior Center.

Absentee ballots are available at the Town Clerk’s office.

In this year’s budget, health insur-ance costs are up for both the Board of Education and town staff.

Town Manager Denise McNair de-scribed the budget she presented to the council as one of the smallest increases requested in recent history. Members of the BOE also described their request as such.

Although there has been much de-bate between council members on some budget cuts, both sides agreed to more than $200,000 in cuts from the origi-nally proposed budget.

Families unfamiliar with the trails nestled behind the golf course at Timberlin Park will have the chance to walk those woods, with the help of a guide, for the The WalkCT Family Ramble hike Saturday, April 26.

The hike is appropriate for families with children 8 and older, and will feature some steep terrain, ridgeline views, and streams.

Town staff member and hik-ing enthusiast Jim Mahoney helped coordinate the event and will lead some of the fam-ily ramblers.

Trail promotion manager for the Connecticut Forest

and Park Association, Jennifer Benner, said that the “CFPA couldn’t be more pleased to be partnering with the Town of Berlin for this project. More and more Connecticut towns are realizing that their recreational trails are con-sidered gold to their citizens and visitors. Providing guided events on trails is a great way for towns to introduce peo-ple to the beautiful areas right in their own backyards. “The family ramble series is a wonderful way to reach more people and show them what Berlin’s open space has to of-fer,” Benner said.

This reporter walked some of the trails at Timberlin Park. They are well-maintained, with ample parking near the golf course. The trailhead be-gins near an old playground, and the first part of the trail features a well-made bridge over a stream. Parts of the trails are quite rocky, and I found myself wishing I’d brought a pair of hiking boots rather than simple tennis shoes. Thick-soled shoes are definitely beneficial on some parts of the trail.

In other places, runoff from streams makes for a muddy path, so parents who are fas-tidious about keeping their cars clean may want a towel for the drive home.

The trails are a good in-troduction to hiking without being too strenuous for a be-ginner to navigate. There is

difficult terrain, but nothing like the sheer rock faces one may have to contend with on more challenging hikes. Trail markers are abundant, mak-ing it difficult to lose the path – which is very well worn and kept clear of plant life.

A lot of volunteer work goes into maintaining Connecticut’s hiking trails. According to Trail Stewardship Director Clare Cain, last year alone, volunteers put a total of 18,000 hours into trail maintenance. This includes routine brush clipping by volunteers, who choose to adopt small sec-tions of trail as well as larger projects taken on by bigger groups, including sawing and moving downed trees, build-ing bridges or boardwalks in wetlands, and other tasks. All volunteers are trained by the CFPA to help make sure trails meet standards for a good hik-ing experience.

The Town Council recently approved a land purchase from the Chotkowski family as open space that will fur-ther improve available hiking trails. This purchase will allow hiking trails to be connected through the new open space area.

This purchase was financed with $500,000 coming from a state grant, and $700,000 com-ing from a prior bond authori-zation, Town Manager Denise McNair explained. The money is not coming out of the town’s operational budget.

Not long ago, it was some-thing one might see on Star Trek. Now it’s coming to the Berlin-Peck Memorial Library.

Between 1 and 3 p.m. Saturday, April 26, visitors to the library will be able to try out Google Glass, on loan from the Rocky Hill Public Library.

Head of Adult Services at Berlin-Peck, Carrie Tyszka, explained that the idea for the event came from Coleman Kelly, who works both at Berlin-Peck and at the Rocky Hill library. Kelly will be

demonstrating Google Glass and assisting drop-in visitors who wish to try it out.

Google Glass is an optical head-mounted display de-vice – this technology cre-ates a wearable computer screen that can display im-ages across a user’s field of view.

Google Glass comes in pre-scription-compatible frames to accommodate those who require them.

Google Glass technology allows users to experience “augmented reality.” For ex-ample, the capacity already exists for Google Glass to translate any text the user looks at into their native lan-

guage. When this app is ac-tive, word by word, the text changes from one language to another in seconds.

Google Glass seeks to do everything a smartphone can, and more. Also, it al-lows users to take photos or videos of anything they look at without interrupting the experience, remembers ap-pointments, and finds direc-tions. Functions are activated via voice command.

Is this technology the first step to a future where wear-able computers are as com-monplace as smartphones are today, or is it another tech gimmick that will be em-braced only by a few?

Decide for yourself April 26.

All the D.A.R.E. instruc-tors showed up for the event, Bartolomeo said.

The money raised will help pay for all of Berlin’s D.A.R.E. costs, which include prizes for an essay contest as well as T-shirts and pencils.

While known primarily as a drug prevention pro-gram, D.A.R.E also seeks to teach kids general decision making skills, stress man-agement, and peer pressure resilience skills that will help them make “all the tough de-cisions,” Bartolomeo said.

George Bikakis, part of the family that owns Central Pizza, has fond memories of when he and his brother went through the D.A.R.E. program as children.

“It is an honor to support a great program in our commu-nity,” Bikakis said.

Councilors

The town and BOE cited significant challenges in de-veloping this year’s budget. Mayor Rachel Rochette said the town “faces the same ris-ing costs you have at home.”

The town begins with a deficit before the budget pro-cess begins, Rochette said.

B oard of Educat ion President Gary Brochu said that magnet school tuition and special education costs are significant, and are costs Berlin schools are required to provide and are unable to negotiate.

During the budget hearing, Brochu said that due to the

nature of the budget, further decreases would necessitate decreases in school staff.

The proposed budget of $78,759,162 represents a .32 mill increase, which means approximately a 1.25 percent increase in taxes. The U.S. Department of Labor’s re-ported inflation rate for 2013 is 1.5 percent, meaning the buying power of each dol-lar has decreased 1.5 percent since last year.

Come see the new signage at Veterans Memorial Park, located by Stop & Shop, on Veterans Way in Berlin, be-tween Massirio Drive and Farmington Avenue.

A monument and flag to each branch of the military has been placed in a circle. There are benches at each monument where one can sit quietly, enjoy the beauty of the park and perhaps give thanks to those who have kept our country free.

The park was dedicated on Flag Day, June 14, 2010.

The sale of the memorial bricks is ongoing and is a spe-cial way to honor veterans, past and present. Veterans do not have to be a Berlin resi-dent, but must have an hon-orab le discharge and a copy of form DD214.

Those interested in order-ing a brick to bear the name of a veteran who has served, either living or deceased, can obtain an application from any Veterans Commission member. Applications are also available at the Town Clerk’s or Town Manager’s

Live within our means

To the editor:I find it interesting that

so many people this year wanted to explain, comment on, or put forth the ideas I presented for reducing the town budget. My approach was simply to live within our means, to utilize our 1.56 per-cent grand list growth to take care of our town and schools. I am not beyond compromise, but even after incorporating the feedback of citizen’s at the public hearing, there was no compromise.

Bill Rasmussen and others on council continue to hedge their bet, which if they did not get the budget passed, they could fall back to my solu-tions and say they listened to the taxpayer. Some on coun-cil listened to me; thank you Brenden Luddy and Charles Paonessa for doing so. And in case you missed it, here were the details behind my com-promise Bill Rasmussen high-lighted in his letter last week, but was unwilling to accept.

I arrived at my budget compromise by counting the 17 speakers from the pub-lic hearing and decipher-ing whether they appeared to want us to keep or lower the proposed budget amount. Seven appeared to want it lowered and 10 appeared to want it to stay the same. Using this ratio, I applied 7/17ths to the $707,000 (value

to get to no tax increase and match the 1.56 percent grand list growth) to arrive at a $291,000 reduction. I then made a judgment of how to apply this to the town and BOE with the following spe-cific reductions:

Town side – $50,000 con-tingency, $50,000 Scalise Field, $20,000 operating materials, $15,000 supplies, $135,000 town subtotal.

School side – $35,000 legal, $66,000 administrator raises, $55,000 equally from cap-ital and site & equipment; $156,000 school subtotal.

Total: $291,000.I listen to you, and how

you vote. Will the majority on council? Let us know. Be sure to vote April 29.

David EvansTown Council

Budget is a real lemon

To the editor:Berlin’s liberal Town

Council majority, after months of preparing the 2014-2015 fiscal year budget, has come up with a real lemon. Not only have they raised your taxes for 11 years in a row, but in their uncontrolled appetite for spending they’ve decided it’s a brilliant idea to purchase $2 million worth of computer/media equipment on a 20-year bond. People, this single-handedly makes this budget thoughtless and

not worthy of our support. An almost identical scheme was attempted in 2007 and was overwhelmingly defeated at referendum.

So, by the “thinking” of Mayor Rochette and gang, it’s no major concern to have your hard earned tax dol-lars buried in the dump for 15 years before it’s paid for. Ridiculous! There is a proper way for computers to be pur-chased. A general obligation bond that taxpayers will be paying for long past the use-ful life of these computers is not the way.

Stop the decade’s worth of yearly tax increases that have now added up to 10 large cups of coffee a day.

Vote no on the budget April 29.

Scott VeleyFormer Deputy Mayor

Vote yesTo the editor:Voters in Berlin are being

asked to determine the fate of this year’s budget proposal. The Town Council, working with the Town Manager and Board of Education, have pre-sented a 2014-2015 fiscal year budget that raises the mill rate by a modest 0.32. While this represents a slight prop-erty tax increase it should also be noted that it will pre-serve the services we expect from Berlin, services such as police and fire protection and quality education for our children.

I urge you to support this plan and cast a “yes” vote in the budget referendum on Tuesday, April 29.

Mike BaczewskiBerlin

An unacceptable budget

To the editor:A proposed budget of

$78.8 million (increase of 46 percent in the past 10 years) is unacceptable to today’s Connecticut economy. With a grand list growth of 1.56 per-cent and an additional 1.1 per-cent added to the budget, the taxpayer burden is proposed to be 2.66 percent. Can I ask how many of you received a raise higher or even equal to that amount?

The Democrats, applaud-ing their budget, have put forth nine tax increases in 11 years, with this being the fifth tax increase in a row. My

question: At what point will the Democrats feel the econ-omy is bad enough to try to have a spending increase equal to grand list growth?

B y a l l a c c o u n t s , Connecticut is struggling and rates among the bottom of the states in terms of re-covery, economic growth, job growth, housing, etc. The population of Connecticut is decreasing and the near fu-ture does not bode well for our state, and therefore our town.

With an automatic increase of .43 mils, or 15 percent tax increase, next year due to the BHS renovation, we need to control/reduce spending and grow business in town for a sustainable tax base in the future.

Please get out and vote no on April 29.

Anne ReillyChairperson, BRTC

Letters to the editor

Each year the elected mem-bers of the Town Council have the responsibil-ity of preparing and presenting a budget for the town. This year, all seven mem-bers took an active, thoughtful role in this process. Town Manager Denise McNair presented us with a bud-get in early March. We then met over the next few weeks to go through all department budgets, meeting with department heads and the Board of Education to determine where reductions might be possible. The council then presented the pro-posed budget at a Town Hearing on April 8.

I am very proud of the budget that is on the bal-

lot for approval on April 29. This budget, with a modest increase of 0.32 mills, is not only fiscally responsible, but maintains the quality of life we

have come to expect in Berlin.

This budget is forward thinking.

Recognizing that we have pension obligations that must be met, we were able to double the funds going into that account. Additionally, we un-derstand that there are capital items that will be reaching the end of their life cycle. For instance, we know that Scalise Field will need to be re-placed in three to four years. Rather than bor-

rowing money to replace the field, we have planned to set aside funds for the next three years so we have the full amount available when needed.

This budget is fair. It in-cludes funding for a trash collection rebate for all condominium owners in town, ensuring condo res-idents receive the same service others in town do. It includes funding for our infrastructure, roads and bridges, to make sure that the roads we all use are safe. It funds the Board of Education at a rate that al-lows current curriculum and programs to continue.

This budget is respon-sible. All members of the Town Council understand

the burden taxes place on all residents. We have looked critically at all areas of spending to ensure that savings are realized when possible. At the same time we looked critically to en-sure that we did not place undue burdens on future councils. Maintenance of town buildings, capital and infrastructure expen-ditures must be continued to ensure that there is not a larger expense down the road.

Myself, and the other Democratic members of the Town Council feel strongly that the budget presented to you is the right budget for Berlin. We strongly en-courage you to vote in favor of its adoption on Tuesday, April 29.

Berlin Free Library: A wealth of history

(Part 2 of a two-part series. Part 1 can be viewed on The Citizen website.)

While the town-owned and financed Berlin-Peck Memorial Library has a greater presence, the Berlin Free Library on Worthington Ridge also has a devoted following and a wealth of history. Its roots go back to the collection of public books stored beneath the pulpit at the Worthington Meeting House. After 1835, that collection moved to a small wooden chapel once used for music lessons on property where the large brick “Prentice House” was later built.

According to Emily Brandegee’s historical pa-pers, the book shelf in the chapel became known as “The Berlin Library.” By 1856, this chapel and land were sold. For years the li-brary books moved in and out of various locations in private residences and two general stores along Worthington Ridge, much as the old post office did before it found a permanent home.

By 1892, the collec-tion outgrew space at the Galpin Store. Friends of the Library, led by Dr. Elishama Brandegee, raised funds for the first free-standing library building and The Berlin Free Library Association was legally incorporated by an act of the state legislature

in 1893. Land was purchased from John Webber, who owned the house directly across from Hudson Street and next to the store.

A Victorian cottage style building was built just north of the Webber house. The collection by that time was over 1,000 volumes. None but our oldest citizens now remember time spent in that charming building. The Berlin Historical Society archives include pictures of it and the museum dis-plays a three-corner chair and a portrait of Alfred North by artist Robert Bolling Brandegee, both heirlooms from the build-ing. Unfortunately, the old library was not re-purposed and as many old structures in Berlin, it was torn down.

In 1954, the library found a new home, where it remains today, in The Old Academy Building at 834 Worthington Ridge.

It surprises many today that the building had a long history of prior use.

In the early 19th century, public education beyond grade 8 was rare. There would not be a public high school in Berlin until the 1930s. For those whose fam-ilies could afford further ed-ucation, private prep schools were built, including one in Berlin. Two previous acad-emies were housed along Worthington Ridge, begin-ning in 1801, in buildings still standing as private homes. Emma and Almira Hart were among the first students at these academies before teaching in Berlin at a time when advanced educational opportunities for women were rare.

Emma Hart Willard would later found a female sem-inary in Troy, New York operating to this day as The Emma Willard School. In 1831, prominent citizens

from the North, Brandegee, Beckley, Savage, Booth, Dunbar and Guernsey fami-lies formed the Worthington Academical Company and raised funds by selling stock to build the brick building that 123 years later would become The Berlin Free Library. The school was known for high standards and was able to attract a mix of local students and others from Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey and Georgia.

The school did not always occupy both floors during its years of operation. The upstairs room was used as a meeting room for the bor-ough of Worthington and later the local Temperance Society. For a time it even functioned as a court house.

By 1873, with declining en-rollment, The Worthington Academy ceased operation

Library

and turned the building over to the Congregational Church for use as a chapel, reading room and school. In 1900 the church sold it to the Brandegee family, who lived next door. The first floor was then divided into rooms and used as a residence un-til 1951. Emily Brandegee, its last owner, generously donated the building to The Berlin Free Library Association which by then had outgrown space at its building down the street. After interior renovations, the library settled into its permanent home in 1955.

Over the years I’ve come to appreciate not only the memories inside that build-ing, but its architecture and history. Regrettably, in a town that has so much his-tory, we have only churches, the train station, the old Peck Library, the Berlin Post Office and this build-ing open to the public. That the library has little changed on the exterior since 1831 is remarkable. Its distinctive

features include a brick ex-terior, brownstone founda-tion, lintels and sills, and 12 over 12 light windows. The entry way, with its wood paneled door, is crowned by an arc of leaded glass panes framed in brownstone. A hand wrought iron door latch and a decorative fan-light in the attic gable add to the detail of the building’s design. Equally remarkable is its white tower with fluted Doric pilasters, turned bal-usters and molded rail ap-pointed with unique wooden urns on each corner.

Neighbor Amy Prescher, an art historian, remarks that looking out her bedroom window at the tower trans-ports her to familiar scenes in London neighborhoods. Early 19th century New England architecture often reflected a reverence for ele-ments of classic Roman and Greek styles with street fac-ing gables, columns and ped-iments suggesting ancient temples.

That the library’s land-mark tower is in need of urgent repair came to the

attention of the Historic District Commission. Standing 65 feet from the ground, the tower is diffi-cult to access. Over time the balusters and rails are rotting and there is con-cern not only about these pieces falling off the struc-ture, but that water will leak inside. The commission and The Berlin Free Library Board both want to see the tower preserved for future generations.

Contrary to public thought, The Berlin Free Library is owned by a non-profit association and receives only a minimal support from The Town of Berlin. To further com-plicate things, a trust fund bequest established by Charles Warner, providing a small income, was set up so that the funds would re-vert to New Britain General Hospital (an entity that no longer exists by that name) if the library ceased to ex-ist. If that were to happen, would this historic building be repurposed or would it be left to deteriorate? With no

funds for restoration or ma-jor maintenance, the library board is applying for historic preservation grants, but such grants require matching

funds. It’s hoped that those who value this town gem and its place in our history

BaseballThe Redcoats improved to

4-1 following a 3-0 week which included wins against South Windsor, Bristol Central and Stafford.

In the boys’ first game of the stretch, they came out on top over the Wildcats, 15-10. The team put up a seven-spot in the top of the third to take the lead for good, and out-lasted a five-run fifth inning rally by South Windsor to hold on for the W.

Junior Jared Gallagher earned the victory on the mound.

Against the Rams, the Redcoats were able to over-come a first inning 4-0 defi-cit to win 6-5 as they out-hit Bristol Central 8-5. Senior Kyle Naples pitched strong to earn the W.

In Saturday’s 5-0 shutout of Stafford, the boys were in a scoreless deadlock before blowing the barn doors open, scoring all five runs in the top of the seventh, outlasting and outperforming the impressive Bulldogs (4-2).

Gallagher earned his sec-ond pitching victory of the week.

SoftballThe Lady Redcoats re-

mained undefeated following a 2-0 week that included wins over East Hartford and Bristol Central.

The girls defeated East Hartford 12-1 to start the stretch. The game remained scoreless until the fourth in-ning and remained close (2-1) until Berlin went to work, scoring five runs in the bot-tom of the fifth. The Lady Redcoats put the contest out of reach with another five-spot in the bottom of the sixth.

Senior pitcher Mikayla Harris earned yet another

win while also producing at the plate. She hit a three-run home run while junior Kelsie Anderson went 2-for-3 with a double and four runs bat-ted in.

Berlin shut out previously undefeated Bristol Central 6-0 to finish the week strong.

Harris, once again, led the way from the mound. Junior Katie Guild belted a home run for the locals.

Boys golfThe Redcoats lost their

home opener by a tough three-stroke decision. Hosting Morgan and Bristol Eastern at Timberlin, Berlin came up just shy of the Huskies, falling 168-171. Morgan’s Gabe Van Ness finished as the medalist, carding a strong 37.

The Redcoats were able to get their first W of the year in convincing fashion, defeating the Lancers 171-186.

Boys track and fieldAfter posting an impres-

sive season-opening victory over Bulkeley, the Redcoats came crashing back to earth after getting crushed by Middletown, 120-30.

Girls track and fieldThe Lady Redcoats couldn’t

keep the good times roll-ing, as they dropped one to Middletown, 72-63. The Berlin girls easily won their season-opening meet against Bulkeley.

Boys lacrosseThe Redcoats seem to be

hitting their strides on the turf as a 2-1 week helped the squad improve to 3-2.

The Berlin boys lost a tough matchup with a difficult East Catholic team, 12-3, to begin their week. Senior Jordan Kradas scored two goals for the Redcoats, while senior teammate Ben Tomascak added one. Senior Matt Cote recorded 10 saves in goal for the locals.

BERLINNOTICE

Notice is hereby given, pursuant to Section 16-50l(g) of the Connecticut General Statutes of a public informa-tion meeting to be held as part of the Town of Berlin Planning & Zoning Com-mission meeting on Thursday, May 8, 2014 beginning at 6:00 pm at Berlin Town Hall, 240 Kensington Road, Ber-lin, CT 06037. The meeting will be in furtherance of a technical report on file with the Town of Berlin for a propos-al by New Cingular Wireless PCS, LLC (“AT&T”) to construct a wireless tele-communications tower facility (the “Fa-cility”) at 1103 Chamberlain Highway in the Town of Berlin (the “Property”). The tower would be located in the north-eastern portion of the Property, which is owned by Prince of Peace Lutheran Church and is proposed to extend to an overall height of 175’ above grade. The Property is an approximately 6 acre par-cel which is improved with the church building and associated parking lot, and an undeveloped portion in the rear of the parcel. The Facility is proposed to allow AT&T to provide wireless ser-vice in this area of Berlin. At the meet-ing, AT&T’s representatives will discuss the need for the facility, the location of existing surrounding facilities, list other sites or areas considered, and identify the potential environmental effects of the proposed facility including visibility of the tower Facility. This public infor-mational meeting is being conducted at the request of the Town of Berlin in advance of a formal application to be filed with the State of Connecticut Sit-ing Council which has jurisdiction over wireless tower facilities.
