The Berlin

CCititizizeennMayor Adam Salina puts political life on hold

From the office of Sen. Terry Gerratana

Kensington Fish Hatchery keeps state’s waterways stocked

By Monica Szakacs The Berlin Citizen

After serving a decade as mayor ofBerlin, Adam Salina said he has de-cided not to seek a sixth term in of-fice this November.

“As my daughters grow and be-come more involved in activities, itis clear that now is the right time totake a break from local politics to al-low me to dedicate more time to themand to my wife, Danielle,” Salinasaid.

Although Salina, 38, is taking abreak from local politics, he will stillbe involved with his full-time careeras a lobbyist. Locally, he representsSt. Paul School and the MattabassattDistrict, at the state capitol and atWashington, D.C., for funding andpolicy support. Even though he is

still politically in-volved, Salina saidthere are no immedi-ate plans to becominga legislator in Hart-ford, let alone Wash-ington.

“I’m not eventhinking that farahead,” Salina said.“It’s one of those things where I’mtaking a step back from local politics.If the opportunity presents itself inthe future I will certainly consider it,but at this point I’m looking forwardto taking a little break.”

When asked if there is a chancefor him to come back to local govern-ment in Berlin, Salina said “it’s al-ways possible.”

“I love the Town of Berlin,” hesaid. “It’s where I grew up. It’s where

I’m raising my family. If there’s anopportunity down the road and it’sthe right time, I can certainly see my-self going back at some point. I’llstill be living in Berlin — I’m not go-ing anywhere.”

Salina was elected mayor ofBerlin at the age of 28. He served fiveterms; 10 years. Before becomingmayor, Salina started his political ca-reer as a district aide to U.S. Rep.John B. Larson. After the 2010 guber-natorial election, Gov. Dannel Mal-loy appointed Salina to serve on hisGubernatorial Transition Team as amember of the Personnel Commit-tee. Salina helped develop the MalloyAdministration.

Salina said his relationship withMalloy will continue to remainstrong.

“I met with the governor a week

before I made the announcement tonotify him of my intentions,” hesaid. “We’ve worked very closelyover the past several years. I will stillbe working at the state capitol in myfull-time lobbying capacity, not nec-essarily for the Town of Berlin, but Ithink he knows as well as I do that Iam still going to be advocating forfunding and things like that for theTown of Berlin, even if I’m no longerthe mayor.”

Before Salina made his public an-nouncement to the media July 19, hemet with town staff and departmentheads, including fire and policechiefs and Board of Education mem-bers, earlier that morning.

“I wanted them to hear it from mebefore they read about it,” Salina

Salina

Despite initial fears ofthe program facing possibleclosure, Connecticut’s an-glers and wildlife enthusi-asts can expect to see riversfull of salmon and trout foryears to come, thanks to on-going work at the Kensing-ton Fish Hatchery.

In 2011, the state of Con-necticut planned to shut thehatchery down by Sept. 1,2011. However, the hatcherycould be saved if the state-employee union voted toconcede to the conditionsthat the office of Gov. Dan-nel Malloy gave the stateemployees in the fiscal year2012-13 budget. The stateemployees rejected the gov-ernor’s offer at first, but fac-ing layoffs and drastic budg-et cuts — which also includ-ed the Kensington FishHatchery — the state em-ployee union concededsome of their demands inAugust of 2011, allowing the

state to keep employees.Thus, the hatchery inBerlin was saved for anoth-er year.

Facing possible closureagain, state Sen. Terry Ger-ratana (D-NewBritain/Berlin), state Rep.

Joe Aresimowicz (D-Berlin), and Mayor AdamSalina secured funding forthe hatchery’s continued

operation for fiscal year2013-14.

The fish hatchery pro-gram in Kensington is partof the Connecticut River At-lantic Salmon Commission,which is a collaboration offour states — Connecticut,Massachusetts, New Hamp-shire and Vermont —- andthe federal government torestock salmon in the Con-necticut River. The Con-necticut River is the longestriver in New England,

Mosquitoes test positive for West Nile virus, EEEBy Associated Press

State health officials said mos-quitoes trapped in Norwalk early inJuly were the first in the state thisyear to test positive for West Nilevirus.

The mosquitoes were trapped onJuly 2 and tested by the ConnecticutAgricultural Experiment Station.

The station’s chief medical ento-mologist, Dr. Theodore Andreadis,said Connecticut’s West Nile virusseason typically starts in early tomid-July and runs through Septem-ber. He urged people to take precau-tions, including limiting time out-doors between dusk and dawn andwearing long pants and long-sleeved shirts.

No human cases have been re-ported yet this year. Twenty-onepeople tested positive for the virusin the state last year — an all-timehigh.

Federal officials said last yearwas the worst ever for West Nilevirus deaths— 286 people diedacross the country.

In a separate report, Connecticut

health officials also said that mos-quitoes testing positive for Easternequine encephalitis have beenfound for the first time this season.

The state Mosquito ManagementProgram announced that mosqui-toes trapped in Voluntown on July10 tested positive. It’s the earliest

With temperatures hittingmore than 90 degrees almostdaily, July 2013 could be thestate’s hottest July on record.

Gary Lessor, assistant tothe director of meteorologi-cal studies at Western Con-necticut State University inDanbury, said the two hottestJulys on record averaged 77.1degrees: in 1994 and 2012. Theunofficial average this year,as of July 18, was 80.4 de-grees.

“We’re just crushing therecord,” Lessor said in themiddle of July.

The longest consecutivestreak of 90-degree weatherhappened in 1995, with 10straight days; and there werenine each in 1973 and 2002.

“Yes, this is a long heatwave,” Lessor said. “But it’snot the longest we’ve everhad.”

The heat index reachedover 100 several timesthroughout July. Heat index

— or “apparent tempera-ture” — factors in theamount of moisture in theair and estimates how thetemperature feels to the hu-man body. The higher the hu-midity, the less sweat evapo-rates, which is a process that

is meant to cool the body. “When it gets that hot,

your body is at a great disad-vantage,” Lessor said,adding that cities are re-quired to put out heat advi-

With some instruction, seniors will learn how to use iPadsBy Monica Szakacs The Berlin Citizen

A Connecticut State Li-brary grant will allow theBerlin-Peck Memorial Li-brary staff to create a pro-gram designed to educateseniors on the technology re-sources of iPads.

The CSL administers acompetitive program wherelibraries around the statecompete for federally fundedgrants for purposes that aresupported by the LibraryServices and TechnologyAct. Library Director Helen

Aveline applied to this newgrant program — the Li-brary Services and Technol-ogy Act Grant for Servicesfor Older Adults FY2014 —and was awarded $3,142.TheBerlin program will pilot theinstruction and use of iPadsin the older community, bothin the library and off-site atthe Senior Center, to pro-mote lifelong learning.

According to the Ameri-can Library Association,“The Library Services andTechnology Act is the onlyfederal program exclusivelyfor libraries. It is adminis-

tered by the Institute of Mu-seum and Library Services,”its website states. “State li-braries use the funds to sup-port statewide initiativesand also distribute the fundsthrough sub-grants or coop-erative agreements to public,school, academic, research,and special libraries.”

Earlier this year Avelinepurchased eight iPads forthe library — with one of theintentions being literacyservices for children —through a Newman’s OwnFoundation grant. The iPadswere installed with educa-

tional apps for children. “When I discovered the

Connecticut State Librarygrant was available, I talkedwith Tina Doyle (of the Se-nior Center) and asked if wecould do a program on theiPads for seniors and shewas excited about it, becausewhat’s the hardest part forseniors on a laptop is beingable to use the mouse effec-tively,” Aveline said. “WithiPads, it’s more swipe andtap oriented, so they don’thave to worry as much aboutmaneuvering a mouse.”

The program will run for

seven weeks, and there willbe two sessions seniors maychoose to take. The course atthe library will begin a weekearlier than the one at the Se-nior Center, but both are theexact same program. Resi-dents of Berlin can registerstarting in August.

“If they miss one class atone place, they can alwaysmake up for it at the other lo-cation the following week,”Aveline said. “Right nowwe’re in the process of set-ting up the curriculum and

Wellness center opens in town for residents to ‘Live Fit’Special to The Citizen

A new business hopes toget people fit, active andhealthy. Husband and wifeRon and Jackie Rasal, ofBerlin, recently opened theirthird Live Fit Family Well-ness Center location, thistime in town, located at 355Main Street.

Live Fit provides nutri-tional information, advice,meal supplements — in theform of shakes — and exer-cise.

“We want people to be safeabout losing weight,” Jake-lin Rasal said. “We want to

get their bodies in balance,so they can lose weight.”

The Rasals got the idea forLive Fit after a family mem-ber lost a lot of weight usingmeal supplements. On a tripto Florida, they visited awellness center that provid-ed services, but not muchpassion.

“This is a place people canlearn about health,” saidRon Rasal, a nurse at Hart-ford Hospital. “We don’tcharge for nutritional ad-vice.”

Their first center openedin Meriden in October of2012. Within the next month,

Ron and Jakelin Rasal, ofBerlin, opened their a LiveFit Family Wellness Cen-ter in Berlin. Live Fit’s pro-grams include meal sup-plements in the form ofshakes prepared in ablender.

a second location was openedin Waterbury. Ron and JackieRasal celebrated the grandopening in Berlin on June 28.

Jakelin Rasal said shelikes to talk to new cus-tomers right away abouttheir goals, any health prob-lems and how they are feel-ing day to day. Once goals are

established, Jakelin Rasalsaid, new clients try differ-ent supplements weekly. Ifthey like a supplement, theycan continue, she said. Mostpeople take two a day, theneat a regular meal. Exerciseand movement is also en-couraged, she said.

“You need to move and getthe heart going,” she said.

For a fee, customers willbe prepared a meal supple-ment. They can talk aboutdieting plans as well, RonRasal said. In the evening,people can attend hour-longZumba or belly dance class-es.

stretching over 400 miles fromLong Island Sound to theCanadian border.

Several of Berlin’s lawmak-ers and municipal leadersstopped by the hatchery re-cently to see how millions ofhealthy fish are grown everyyear for distribution intostate waterways. Gerratana,Aresimowicz and Salina wereshown how the biologists atKensington Hatchery guidefish through life, from the eggto release in a river.

“In a year of budget belt-tightening, it was a greatachievement – and a result ofa lot of hard work from theBerlin delegation – to protectthe Kensington Fish Hatch-ery,” Aresimowicz said. “Thehatchery has been an impor-tant part of our town since itscreation in the 1800s. Today,the fishery produces over amillion trout and salmon an-nually, at the same time pro-vides essential research andeducation on the protectionon these species.”

The Kensington Hatcheryproduces two kinds of fish:the Atlantic salmon and the

seeforellen brown trout. Overa million fish grow in theKensington hatchery annual-ly. This year, 768,000 Atlanticsalmon from the hatcherywere used to stock the Farm-ington and Salmon River wa-tershed. Additionally, 20,000brown trout were used tostock the Shunock River andWhitford Brook.

Keeping Connecticut wa-terways well stocked with fishhas a significant economicvalue to the state. Accordingto numbers produced by Con-necticut’s Commission onCulture and Tourism, 251,000state residents take 5.4 mil-lion fishing trips in the stateand spend $198 million eachyear.

The Kensington Hatcheryprovides a vital service toConnecticut’s students aswell. Students from across thestate are given the opportuni-ty to see firsthand what it islike to grow a fish or stock ourrivers with them. This year,20,000 Atlantic salmon eggswill be sent from the Hatcheryto 64 schools across the state.This program alone is expect-ed to expose over 6,000 stu-dents to salmon and aquatic

said. “It was certainly a diffi-cult announcement to make,but I was happy that I wasable to deliver it myself.”

In an announcement he is-sued to media outlets, Salinawent on to thank the staffwho works in town hall fortheir service and said that he“had the honor of collaborat-ing with outstanding volun-teers who have worked tire-lessly on the Town Council,boards, commissions andcivic organizations.”

He went on to state that “I

have given my best over thepast 10 years to leave Berlin abetter place and sincerelyhope I have succeeded. Noth-ing would make me prouderthan to see Berlin continue togrow and prosper.”

So who will become thenext mayor? The mayor inBerlin is an unpaid, volun-teer position. The way itworks in Berlin is candidatesrun for the seven seats inTown Council and once thecouncil is selected and holdsits first meeting, the councilthen elects the mayor. Whoev-er gets the most votes, if theywant to be mayor, gets the po-sition.

sories when the heat indexinches over 100.

As of July 20, this summerhas seen 19 days of 90-degreeweather, he said, which ishalfway to the state record setin 1983.

Marcia Blomberg, a spokes-woman for ISO-New England,

said demand for electricityhas shot up as more peoplehave turned on their air con-ditioning. The regional or-ganization, which overseesthe operation of New Eng-land’s 32,000 megawatt bulkelectric power and transmis-sion system, issued an alertJuly 16 that asked powerplants to postpone nonessen-tial work.

Preliminary data indicate

that Wednesday, July 17, camein 10th place on a list of dayswith the highest demand forpower in New England, at26,655 megawatts. For one in-stant, 1 megawatt can powerabout 1,000 homes, Blombergsaid.

The top 10 demand days alloccurred in July or Augustduring the 2000s. The highestdemand day in New Englandhistory was Aug. 2, 2006,

when demand reached 28,130megawatts.

Blomberg said air condi-tioning use has increased inthe region over time, and de-mand during the winter usedto outpace demand duringthe summer until the late1980s.

The organization advisedusers this week to set theirthermostats between 74 and78 degrees if their health per-mits it and to turn off un-needed lights, appliances andoffice equipment. Consumersshould put off dishwashingand laundry to hours whendemand dies down — such asduring the early morning orlate evening.

A phenomenon called ther-mal buildup, in which housesand other structures retain

heat, occurs when tempera-tures remain high for severaldays in a row. Air conditioneruse and demand for electrici-ty tend to rise in cases ofthermal buildup as toleranceto heat wanes, according toISO Newswire.

Connecticut Light andPower Co. spokesman MitchGross said the company pre-pares for severe weather withannual upgrades to trans-formers, poles and wires.CL&P invested $30 millioninto system improvementsthis year.

Gross said an operationscenter at the company’s cam-pus in Berlin is standing by incase CL&P moves into emer-gency mode. But only 68 outof more than one million cus-tomers reported power out-ages July 18, as of 2 p.m.

Andreadis said that due torecent heavy rains, thespecies is particularly nu-merous now and will poten-tially have a longer seasonto spread the virus to birds

and then mosquito species.The state said Eastern

It has been estimated that as many as 4,200 religions exist in the world. From time totime, The Citizen will take a look at the beliefs of some lesser-known faiths. This week ...

ZoroastrianismFollowers: 200,000Founder: Zarathustra (in Greek, Zoroaster) was a Per-

sian prophet who at the age of 30 believed he had seen vi-sions of God, whom he called Ahura Mazda, the creator of all thatis good and who alone is worthy of worship. This was a departure from previous Indo-Per-sian polytheism, and Zarathustra has been termed the first non-biblical monotheist(though monotheism in Zoroastrianism never took on the absolute quality that it assumedin Judaism and Islam). Though there is disagreement among scholars as to exactly whenand where Zarathustra lived, most agree that he lived in eastern Iran, probably around thesixth century B.C.E.

Main Tenets: Zoroastrian theology is strongly dualistic. In his visions, Zarathustrawas taken up to heaven, where Ahura Mazda revealed that he had an opponent, AuraMainyu, the spirit and promoter of evil. Ahura Mazda charged Zarathustra with the taskof inviting all human beings to choose between him (good) and Aura Mainyu (evil). Conse-quently, Zoroastrianism is a highly ethical religion. Zarathustra taught that humans arefree to choose between right and wrong, truth and lie, and light and dark, and that theiracts, words, and thoughts would affect their lives after death. He was thus the first to pro-mote a belief in two heavenly judgments: of the individual soul right after death and of allhumankind after a general resurrection. His ideas of heaven, hell, and the resurrection ofthe body profoundly influenced Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Later Zoroastrianismconceived of an opposition between body and soul, though there was no suggestion in itstheology that the body was evil and the soul was good. A wandering preacher fromMesopotamia named Mani developed those theories into an extreme form of dualismcalled Manichaeism.

Main Sacred Text: The Zoroastrian “Avesta” (“Book of the Law”) is a fragmentary col-lection of sacred writings divided into: liturgical works with hymns ascribed to Zarathus-tra; invocations and rituals to be used at festivals; hymns of praise; and spells againstdemons and prescriptions for purification. Compiled over many centuries, the Avesta wasnot completed until Persia’s Sassanid dynasty (226-641 C.E.).

Principal Center: Zoroastrianism all but disappeared in Persia after the Muslim inva-sion of 637 C.E. Only about 10,000 survive in remote villages in Iran, but over the centuriesmany sought religious freedom in India.

History of the KensingtonSoldiers Monument

By Cathy Nelson

On Sunday, July 28, at noon, the Kensing-ton Congregational Church, 312 PercivalAve., is rededicating the Soldiers Monumenton its 150th anniversary. The monument isthe oldest permanent memorial of the CivilWar —the first in the country.

The event features Civil War re-enactors,Berlin VFW and American Legion, and theGovernors Foot guard, music by The Ring-tones and Travelin’ Prayer, as well as awreath laying and a 21 gun salute. Rev.Olivia Robinson, of the Kensington Congre-gational Church, and Mathew Warshauer, ofCentral Connecticut State University, arescheduled to speak.

Commemorative postcard and books aboutthe church and monument will be available.

Cathy Nelson, librarian for the Berlin-PeckMemorial Library, shares her research of thehistory of the monument.

Before the war was over – in fact theNorth had lost several major battles - theidea of a soldier’s monument was developed

between Rev. Hillard and N.A. Moore. Themonument was to commemorate the sol-diers from Kensington who served and diedin battle. At the 50th anniversary of themonument, credit was also given to TownSelectman George Cowles.

When the monument was contracted inMarch 1863, the fate of the Union still hungin the balance. Church members and Kens-ington neighbors raised the money througha subscription. The monument cost $350with most donations between one and twodollars. A later Jan. 8, 1864, HartfordCourant article account puts the cost of themonument at $465.

Oliver D. Kent helped to canvas for fundsand remembered that “some people wouldn’tgive anything. They were secessionists andthought that of the South wanted to go, thenwe ought to let it,” according to a July 2,1913, Hartford Courant article.

The monument was designed by N.A.Moore (Nelson Augustus Moore), a church

Discovering themagic of FreecycleBy Julie Sopchak

Not too long ago, I re-ceived an email from afriend requesting help tomove a hot tub to herhome. With promises offood and beverage in re-turn, I happily obliged. Ofcourse, there was thewhole being a good friendthing ... yada yada.

The tub is fairly newand in working condition.I soon learned my friendwas getting this hot tub forfree through somethingcalled “Freecycle,” an on-line community dividedinto local sectors wherepeople just give stuff away.

Apparently, the ownersof the tub didn’t want tomaintain the upkeep. Iwondered why they didn’ttry to get a few bucks outof it. But hey, free is free.Sometimes the conven-ience of chucking some-thing out the window out-weighs the hassle of peo-ple haggling with you overthe price.

Fascinated by this magi-cal wonderland where nicehot tubs are given away, Ijoined a Freecycle group.

Instantly, I saw an offerfor a trampoline and an air

hockey table, both listed asin good condition. After in-quiring, I learned thatboth had been snatched up.I’m not surprised.

Unfortunately, gems likethat aren’t available as of-ten as one would hope. Butthe true mystique andwonderment of Freecycleis epitomized by the off-beat, weirdly random postswhich bring a whole newmeaning to the concept of“One man’s trash is anoth-er man’s treasure.” Like abreast pump (sterilizationin boiling water thought-fully recommended byowner), a stack of gently-used Entertainment Week-ly magazines, a “big” Por-tugese flag, or a medicalbilling and coding book. Imean, come on, thesethings are just bursting atthe seams with potential!

You would think the ab-surdity and sketchinesslevel of a website wherepeople give and take thingsfor free would be throughthe roof. But on the con-trary, groups are moderat-ed. Not only must you gainapproval to be part of thegroup, but submissions are

member and noted landscapeartist. War memorials wereuncommon in the early1860s. N.A. Moore’s designbecame the standard for Civ-il War monuments. Thebrownstone obelisk is locat-ed on the Kensington Con-gregational Church lawn.The base of the monumentconsists of two risers, 9 inch-es, and 19 inches. It has apyramid top. A July 29, 1863,Hartford Courant article de-scribed it as “a plain struc-ture of moderate height andthe more appropriate for sobeing.”

NA Moore contracted Ba-con Quarry on the construc-tion of the monument. AABacon, of Berlin, agreed tobuild and erect the monu-ment according to the designdrawings. The brown sand-stone shaft was obtainedfrom a quarry in Portland,finished at the Bacon Quarryin East Berlin, and thenbrought to Kensington on asledge drawn by 14 yoke ofoxen. N.A. Moore was build-ing his own home, Stone-house, at the time and sentmen with oxen to help deliv-er the stone.

Originally, the dedicationwas scheduled for Saturday,

July 4, 1863. Delays oc-curred. Meanwhile, the Bat-tle of Gettysburg raged.Kensington residents waitedto hear the fate of their sol-diers.

The Dedication was heldon July 28, 1863, after churchservices. It was a hot, swel-tering day. The principalspeaker was U.S. SenatorLafayette S. Foster, of Nor-wich. According to the Con-necticut Historical Society,50 years later, Walter Brown,of Kensington, rememberedthe first words Sen. Foster

spoke: “We stand today,friends, in the geographicalcenter of the state of Con-necticut.” Sen. Foster con-tinued that we “showed howthe wicked ambition ofsouthern leaders hadbrought upon our fair landall the horror and sufferingwe had been called upon topass through during thepast two years. Senator Fos-ter’s gave a patriotic speechinspired by love of country.”

Edward W. Robbins, son ofRev. Royal Robbins, wrote anoriginal poem for the occa-

sion: A Poem on the Occa-sion of the Dedication of theMonument raised at Kens-ington, Connecticut to thememory of its deceased vol-unteers. It begins with thewords:

So let this shaft ariseAmid the gathering

yearsRaised to the memory of

our deadYet living volunteers

Peace to the honoreddead

Released from care andtoil

Whose ashes safely nowrepose

Upon a conquered soilAttendance was “fair

though not so large as it un-doubtedly would have beenwere the farmers not kept sobusy just at this season,” ac-cording to an 1863 HartfordCourant article. The news-paper concluded that, “It isthe first monument erectedin Connecticut for the objectstated. Its purpose is a no-ble one, to carry down toposterity, in an endurableform, the names of thebrave heroes who fought anddied in defense of theircountry, when a wicked andcauseless rebellion armed it-self to destroy the libertiesof a free people. No betterfame could award the true

and brave.” At the time of dedication

six names were on the mon-ument: James Bailey, Lev-erett Gladding, John Kent,George Horton, Henry Allenand Birdsey Beckley. Todaythere are sixteen names. Allare Kensington youth exceptElijah Bacon. All died dur-ing the war except NelsonRitchie. The first to be killedin battle was James L. Bai-ley.

There are two sets of rela-tives on the monument: fa-ther and son James andRichard Ringwood, andbrothers William and JohnWarner. Seven ConnecticutRegiments are represented:2nd, 5th, 6th, 7th, 9th, 14th,16th, and the Wisconsin 5th.

Ten years later in 1873, awrought iron fence designedby N.A. Moore and built atthe family factory Mooreand Sons was added. Thecircular cast-iron fence is 31inches high, and about fivefeet from the monument.The fence components areelaborate and heavy withcurves and arrows.

An authentic Civil Warcannon was obtained andadded in 1913, for the 50thanniversary of the monu-ment. The cannon are bal-anced on two boulders. Orig-

Commentary

Some space stuffBy Glenn Richter

Like me, you’re probably on theedge of your seat, awaiting wordfrom NASA’s Jet Propulsion Labthat the Voyager 1 satellite has fi-nally and verifiably left our solarsystem (or the heliosphere, as thoserocket scientists like to call it), mak-ing it the first thing made by hu-mans to do so.

This landmark event (so tospeak) isn’t really going to happenat any particular moment —whether next week or next year orseveral years from now — but,rather, it will depend on a prepon-derance of the evidence; as timegoes on, Voyager 1 and its twin,Voyager 2, have been receiving few-er and fewer particles and rays andcosmic whatchamacallits from oursun and more and more of those

thingies from somebody else’s sun;that is, from elsewhere in the MilkyWay.

For now, they’re still coastingalong in the “strange, last regionbefore interstellar space,” accord-ing to Ed Stone, who’s been incharge of the Voyager project sincethe dual doodads were launched,way back in 1977. But sooner or lat-er Mr. Stone will announce that theVoyagers — having toured Jupiter,Saturn, Uranus and Neptune intheir younger years — have at lastmanaged to boldly go where nomanmade object has gone before.

And the same five people whocare about that will no doubt be im-pressed by the aspect of this mis-sion that’s truly stunning: thatsomething built in the U.S. of A.,way back in the 1970s, is still run-ning. Because the only reason Mr.

Stone knows about the particlesand rays and what-nots that aresmacking into the two little space-craft right and left is that their sen-sors are still working — 36 years lat-er — and still reporting their databack to Pasadena.

We’re talking about two ma-chines that were launched in 1977— the year Jimmy Carter was inau-gurated, Apple Computer was in-corporated and Elvis Presley wasinterred. Honestly, does anythingelse from 1977 still work? When wasthe last time you saw a 1977 Oldsmo-bile go down the road under its ownsteam? Or a Gremlin? Or a ChryslerCordoba, with or without richCorinthian leather?

Perhaps alarmingly, I seem to re-member 1977 pretty well. I even re-call that there was a minor flapabout the Golden Record carried by

Voyager 1, a disk that was intendedas a sort of greeting card and Earth101 crash course for any little greenmen who might someday find it.

It’s a phonograph record (remem-ber those?) made of copper andplated with gold, and its aluminumcover is plated with uranium-238,and if those greenies happen tohave a record player at hand (thatis, if they even have hands), they’llbe able to spin this platter and enjoysounds of Earth (surf, thunder,birds, machine noises) includingmusic (from J.S. Bach to ChuckBerry) and some scientific stuff, in-cluding anatomically correct draw-ings of male and female earthlingsthat somebody at the time com-plained looked like space porn.

When I signed up for myFreecycle group, I received afew e-mails with rules andguidelines. One read: “Youmay not Freecycle yourfriends or children.” As

cheeky as the disclaimerwas, it made me wonder howoften this has happened. Ican just envision a worldwhere the threat of Freecy-cling your kids could beused as a way to stifle misbe-havior.

“If you kids don’t behaveyourself, I will put you onthe Freecycle list!”

Not only do people offerfree things, the forums alsoserve as a venue to postwanted or needed things youwouldn’t be able to find atany old store. This one per-son was in need of a smallsection of a wood picket

fence. Someone else had adire need for Enfamil babyformula coupons.

Some people might writethis group off as a bartersystem for the poor — or re-soundingly cheap — but I’ma judgment-free kind of girl,and Freecycle is a judgment-free kind of community.

I mean, really, the possi-bilities are just endless. Andthey’re all free!

Lee “Foundation Week” coming soonAug. 16 golf tournament caps stretch of events

By Nick CarrollThe Berlin Citizen

Ryan Lee would have turned 22years old July 20.

The Lees didn’t hunker down inquiet reflection that day, however. In-stead, the family orchestrated a fooddrive which brought in several vanloads of goods for people in need.

That’s how the Lees have dealtwith Ryan’s tragic death; they’veturned their energy to helping oth-ers.

Since its inception in 2011, TheRyan T. Lee Foundation has done alot of good, including donating some$50,000 to individuals and organiza-tions.

“We try to find different ways toimpact different parts of the commu-nity,” said Dan Lee, Ryan’s father.

Ryan Lee, a Berlin High Schoolalumnus, passed away in April of2011 after being struck by a taxi inNew York City. The 19-year-old wasattending Long Island University,where he was a scholarship golfer.

Seeing people benefit from hisson’s foundation has aided in thefamily’s healing, Lee said. “Most def-initely. It’s a way for us to keepRyan’s memory alive in a positivemanner.”

The foundation makes donationsto causes and places Ryan would ap-prove of, such as to Berlin schools,the Berlin Food Pantry, the Boys &Girls Club of New Britain and Do-

nate Life Connecticut, an organdonor registry.

No matter the foundation event,the people of Berlin and Cheshire —where Lee teaches and coaches —getbehind it.

“It just speaks to the type of com-munity that Berlin and Cheshireare,” Lee said. “They’re the type ofcommunities that are supportiveand willing to get involved. In this as-pect, they kind of further Ryan’slegacy by doing a lot of things tomake a difference.”

The third annual Ryan T. Lee GolfClassic, the primary fundraiser forthe foundation, will be held Friday,Aug. 16 at Timberlin Golf Course.Dinner follows at the Aqua TurfClub in Southington.

“After the first year we realized alot of people wanted to help, a lot of

people wanted to get involved, but alot of people don’t golf,” said Lee. “Sowe decided to turn it into a week ofevents.”

The week leading up to the GolfClassic, “Foundation Week,” de-buted in 2012, and is back this year.The stretch includes a 3-on-3 basket-ball tournament (Wednesday, Aug.14) and a miniature golf tournament(Saturday, Aug. 10).

Lee is quick to point out the manysponsors and volunteers who makethe foundation possible, includingtwo of Ryan’s friends, John McNairand Tim Cote, who hatched the ideafor the Golf Classic. “They’ve goneabove and beyond at every turn,”said Lee.

COMMENTARY: A whole new ballgameBy Kyle Swartz

Special to The Citizen

Major League Baseball ap-pears poised to make anoth-er significant strike againstits steroids era, which haddefined and debased thegame during the early 90sinto the mid-2000s. Accord-ing to ESPN’s “Outside theLines,” MLB is prepared tosuspend about 20 playersconnected with a Miami-based clinic believed to haveprovided players with per-formance-enhancing drugs.Athletes facing bans includefading Yankee luminaryAlex Rodriguez, 2011 NLMVP Ryan Braun, Rangersslugger Nelson Cruz andTigers’ starting shortstopJhonny Peralta.

This is positive develop-ment for a sport marred by adecade of over-muscledcheaters. Injecting them-selves with human growthhormones and other illicitdrugs, players unnaturallyattained historical levels ofpower. Many all-time hittingrecords are from thesteroids era, including Bar-ry Bonds’ preposterous 73

homeruns in 2001. Suchmarks are forever tainted bywhat lies and illegal sub-stances were necessary toachieve them.

Looking back, it’s difficultto believe we fans were sogullible. Recall: Louis Gon-zalez suddenly improvedfrom unimposing utilityplayer to 2001 World Serieshero who whacked 56 regu-lar-season round-trippers.Nobody batted an eye at thisunlikely ascension. Caughtup in the historic homerunbarrage between SammySosa and Mark McGuire in1998 (they’d finish with 70and 68, respectively), we did-n’t consider what dishonestymight lurk beneath thoseherculean feats.

Now we know. So do MLBofficials. Consequently, drugtesting has become moreroutine and precise. Reper-cussions in recent years

rightly have been promptand severe, with long sus-pensions even for first-timeoffenders. Noticeably, poweris down. Miguel Cabreralofted the most homerunslast year with 44. Only fiveothers hit over 40. This ishow baseball should be: hon-est, with an even playingfield.

What did the steroids erateach youth athletes acrossthe globe? To succeed, cheat.Risk damaging your body togain that extra advantage.These obviously are notproper messages for profes-sional athletes to signal tochildren.

The power surges werereal, and so were the dan-gers. Performance-enhanc-ing drugs can cause lifetimehealth risks. Hence, the truesymbolic player of this eramay not be Bonds, Sosa,McGuire or Gonzalez. It maybe admitted-steroids abuserand 1996 MVP Ken Caminiti,who had never topped 26homeruns, but thensmashed 40 the year he be-gan injecting. He later diedin 2004 of a heart attack —at age 41.

By taking suitable actionsmoving forward, baseballcan keep advancing beyondthat ugly chapter. MLBshould follow through withits plans and suspend all 20players connected with theMiami clinic, assumingproof exists that theybought and utilized illegalsubstances. In this way, the

sport can continue showingfans - especially impression-able youth athletes - that ithas ended the tradition ofcheating through steroidsand become a cleaner, fairer,whole new ballgame.
