A local college graduate is planning an epic jour-ney of four months and 1,500 miles, on foot, to raise money and awareness for charity. The walk will take Berlin native Brian Ford across Vietnam, Cambodia, and Thailand. The adventurer may become just the second person to ever complete such a charity walk in Asia.
Ford, a graduate of Xavier High School and Boston College with a degree in biology, grew up in Berlin and plans to go to medical school.
When volunteering in Africa, Ford encountered Josh Porteous, an Australian man who left the corpo-rate world in 2012 to dedicate himself to charity work. Porteous now serves as director for The International Brothers and Sisters House, a nonprofit that combats poverty by helping orphans in Southeast Asia make their way through university.
Ford said he was blown away when he met Porteous, and the two became friends while working together. “We formed a really tight bond and I was incredibly

For Berlin resident Dr. Reza Mansoor, his faith is a large source of inspiration that pushed him to consider a career in medicine. One translation of a verse that the Hartford Hospital cardiolo-gist said inspired his interest in medicine reads, “To save a life would be as great a virtue as to save all of mankind.”
Mansoor is not alone in taking inspiration from his religion, Islam. According to Cornell University, 42.7

It’s the end of an era.After nearly 30 years in the
community, Roger’s Market-place is closing its doors this Saturday, Jan. 17, and inviting members of the community to share complimentary cof-fee and cookies “as we say goodbye and thanks to all of you,” owner Roger Perno said in a statement.
“The changing face of food retailing along with a strug-gling economy has forced this difficult decision,” Perno said.
Mayor Rachel Rochette said she was sad to hear the marketplace would be clos-ing. “Roger Perno and his family have been a fixture in the Berlin business commu-nity for over 27 years,” the mayor said. “They have pro-vided convenient and high quality products for Berlin citizens ... More than that, Roger Perno has been an em-ployer, a contributor to com-
munity causes, a leader in the Chamber of Commerce and the Lions Club and so much more. I will miss Roger’s Mar-ketplace and I wish the best for Roger and his family in their future endeavors.”
Locals quickly took to The
Berlin Citizen Facebook page to comment on the news.
“What a shame; such a wonderful & convenient market and great community business,” Gail Marino wrote.

“Such a shame. Did so much for the community,” Matthew Pepe commented.
Roger’s Marketplace has been a community fixture since 1988, sponsoring many local youth sports, including Little League baseball, soft-ball, travel basketball, midget football, cheerleading, soccer, American Legion baseball, and other programs.
The business and its em-ployees also supported local nonprofits, including the Li-
ons Club, UpBeat, the Pru-dence Crandall Center, and others.
“We have assisted in de-livering meals and food to needy families in Berlin and New Britain each and every holiday season,” Perno said.
Highlights of the past de-cades at Roger’s include the hiring of Austin Stowell, who went on to become a Holly-wood actor. Stowell’s break-out role was as the recurring character Jesse in 15 episodes of “Secret Life of the Ameri-can Teenager.” Stowell went on to appear in NCIS: Los An-geles and 90210 before land-ing the role of Kyle Connellan in the movies Dolphin Tale and Dolphin Tale 2.
“We have enjoyed hosting several events and programs throughout the years,” Perno said. “One of the most suc-cessful was the Educational Edge Program which al-lowed us, with our loyal cus-tomers, to help donate over $70,000 worth of school sup-plies to many local schools. Our Annual Holiday Open House was one of the most looked-to events in town for many years. That night al-lowed us to showcase, with our local vendors’ assistance, many holiday foods for sam-pling. We would also give
away hundreds of raffle items as well as hold events for the kids, such as our now famous ‘Turkey Bowling!’ In addi-tion, we were always happy to work with our local po-lice and fire departments in hosting Stuff a Cruiser and Fill the Engine events de-signed to collect non-perish-able food donations for local food banks. Of course no one will forget our famous park-ing lot events, including the Kids Day, Rock Cats Night and many others.”
“Words cannot describe the happiness my family and I have enjoyed in being a part of this wonderful community we have served for over 27 years,” Perno said in closing. “I will never forget the great friends made, the wonderful customers, the fantastic sup-pliers and, most of all, the loyal, dedicated and caring associates I have been privi-leged to work with.”
“The town has reached out to Sussman Realty, the owner of Ferndale Plaza and we will assist them as they seek a new tenant for the space,” Rochette said.

The Bakery carries on family tradition
Fans of Sanremo Bakery can rejoice, as Enzo Formica has officially cut the ribbon on “The Bakery” to bring his family’s fresh baked breads and pastries back to Berlin.
Mayor Rachel Rochette joined Formica to cut the rib-bon last month at the new lo-cation, 226 Berlin Turnpike.
“I am proud to be opening ‘The Bakery’ to carry on a 32-year family tradition,” For-mica said in a statement. “My grandfather started Sanremo Bakery in Berlin and passed the business on to my Un-cle Santo. Earlier this year, Sanremo Bakery decided to close its retail location on Farmington Avenue in order to concentrate on its growing wholesale business that is fo-cused on high quality fresh baked breads. “I have been working in Sanremo Bakery
all my life so I am taking this opportunity to open ‘The Bakery’ so that residents of Berlin and the Central Con-necticut area can again enjoy the bread, turnovers, pastries, pies and other specialty items that they have been purchas-ing at Sanremo Bakery for these many years.”
“Many citizens have com-mented to me that they missed Sanremo Bakery and wished for a new local retail bakery in Berlin,” Rochette said in a statement. “This is like a holiday present for the town. Not only are we getting a new bakery, but it also has the familiar products that we have enjoyed for many years. I thank Enzo for bringing his family’s special baked goods back to Berlin and I wish him great success in his new venture.”

The Public Works De-partment reminds residents of the local ordinances that apply to the removal of ice and snow from public roadways.
Property owners are not allowed to shovel, throw or plow ice and snow from pri-vate property into, or across a public street. These ac-tions are strictly prohibited and subject to a written warning and/or $100 fine as noted in the Town of Berlin Municipal Code.
Residents are responsible to clear snow and ice from any public sidewalk front-
ing along their property. All sidewalks are to be cleared and/or sanded within 24 hours of the completion of street plowing operations. It is the responsibility of the property owner front-ing that sidewalk to make it safe for public travel. Failure to comply will sub-ject the abutting property owner to a written warning and/or $100 fine as noted in the Town of Berlin Munici-pal Code.
No Parking Bans become effective automatically (or at the discretion of the Di-rector of Public Works)
whenever there is an accu-mulation of four (4) inches or more of snow and ice on any of the streets of the town. No Parking Bans will terminate no sooner than eight (8) hours after any snowstorm, or as directed by the Director of Public Works.
Any vehicle left parked on the street after such No Parking Ban has taken ef-fect, will be towed and sub-ject to a fine and all towing and storage charges.
For more information, call the Public Works De-partment at (860) 828-7022.

The New Britain Industrial Museum has been accepted into StEPS-CT, a two-year program created by Connecti-cut Humanities with the Con-necticut League of History organizations and run in part-nership with the Connecticut Historical Society. StEPS-CT is based on the “Standards and
Excellence Program for His-tory Organizations,” a national model curriculum developed by the American Associa-tion for State and Local His-tory that helps local museums and historical societies build professionalism and excel-lence in six areas of organi-zational practice. Through hands-on workshops, support and guidance provided by ex-pert mentors and a competi-tive granting fund to support projects related to the pro-gram, the StEPS-CT process will strengthen the NBIM and
give the museum the tools it needs to maintain and im-prove its collection, create relevant programming and strengthen its operations.
The Community Founda-tion of Greater New Britain provided funding necessary to participate in StEPS-CT.
The New Britain Industrial Museum, 185 Main St., is open Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, 2 to 5 p.m., Wednesday, noon to 5 p.m. and Saturday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Tavern opens on the right side of the tracks
Things are heating up near Berlin’s Amtrak station, in-cluding the grills at Tavern on the Trax, a new business that celebrated its official ribbon cutting Jan. 7.
The tavern will be the new location for Craig Lentini, who has experience running a restaurant from two years at Even Stephens just up the road on Farmington Avenue. “I developed quite a following over there and I didn’t feel it was big enough for what I was looking for,” Lentini said.
The community has given Lentini “a good reception so far.” As a tavern, the location seeks to walk the line between bar and restaurant. “We try to take it up a notch with our food more than a bar would. We want to be known for our food,” Lentini said.
Tavern on the Trax has burgers, nachos, pasta, steak, salads, and more on the menu. Signature dishes include burg-ers served on an English muf-fin style bun, spinach salad,
and sausage rigatoni. Lentini said that presentation and at-tention to detail are both key in putting out memorable dishes.
Lentini said he looks for-ward to the opening of the Hartford Line and the renova-tion of the train station. Tav-ern on the Trax is to be the closest restaurant to the train station. The Hartford Line is scheduled to start service late in 2016.
“That is going to be a win-win for everyone,” Lentini said. “A lot of commuters will be coming through, and it’s bringing some needed atten-tion to the downtown area. I think I’m situated to be in the right spot at the right time.”
The town has greeted Lenti-ni’s renovations at the location on 845 Farmington Ave. posi-tively, Lentini said.

Walk
inspired by his vision and his background,” Ford said. “He talks to you and you get chills.”
Out of this friendship grew the idea for the trek across Southeast Asia to raise funds for IBSH.
“When I first met Brian it was in a volunteer house in Tanzania,” Porteous said by email. “We instantly con-nected, I was on a volunteer journey in its seventh month and Brian had been in the house for over a month. I was in the final stages of reg-istering my charity, IBSH, and formulating plans of how to launch to gain the most ex-
posure as possible – the aim was to drive awareness of global poverty and for what my charity is going to be do-ing to one day help it.”
Porteous originally planned to walk across Australia and Asia himself to raise aware-ness for IBSH after its launch, but that changed now that he is an expectant father.
Porteous said he is excited to see Ford bring this idea to fruition.
“Brian’s passion for the walk never wavered and his commitment and courage to plan it, organize it and complete it is something I admire,” Porteous said. “I cannot wait to join him for the first week of the walk be-
fore heading back to Sydney for another charity event.”
When planning the walk, Ford found hundreds of ac-counts of people who have made similar journeys across the U.S. but only one other who completed a charity walk in Asia, U.S. Marine Sgt. Winston Fiore, who raised money for cleft palate surger-ies for children in developing countries.
Ford said he hopes the nov-elty of his journey will help bring more awareness to the cause – and more donations to IBSH.
Ford will be walking in humid 90 degree weather, camping in the yards of locals who may not speak any En-glish, and will also be meet-ing kids sponsored by IBSH. The Australian charity can sponsor an orphan through university for the equivalent of about $6,500.
Ford has already raised
more than $12,000 of his ini-tial $20,000 goal. He now aims to raise as much as $25,000. “Berlin has been awesome,” Ford said. Many of the dona-tions have been raised locally.
“The teenagers being helped are all remarkable kids being put through col-lege at some of the best uni-versities in their respective countries,” Ford said. “Many have been through hell and back (with) family pasts lit-tered with abuse and terrible tragedies, and it’s amazing how they’ve rebounded and turned into incredible kids. These are real kids with real futures being helped through these donations.”
Ford said that many people have expressed concern for his safety during his travels, but Southeast Asia is more modern than one might think. For example, Ford expects to have regular access to WiFi in order to update his website’s
blog with posts throughout his journey.
For many parts of the trek, Ford also won’t be going it alone. Porteous will join him for the first 100 miles, and another volunteer Ford met while doing volunteer service in Africa, Meg Polkinghorne from Victoria, Australia, will join him for the first 500 miles. A college friend, Con-nor Homan, will meet Ford in Cambodia or Thailand for 250 miles or so. “Connor is from San Francisco and I went to Boston College with him,” Ford said. “He’s no stranger to the outdoors – he hiked 1,000 miles of the Pacific Crest Trail” this past summer.
Ford will fly into Vietnam to begin his journey on Jan. 21.

Muslims
percent of American Mus-lims, such as him, hold an advanced degree and one in 10 is a physician or medical doctor.
Mansoor serves as presi-dent of the Islamic Associ-ation of Greater Hartford, which is based in Berlin. He is also a founding member of the Muslim Coalition of Connecticut, an organization that seeks to serve its faith
through social activism and community service as well as to educate the public about one of the less well under-stood faith communities in the state.
The group was “founded by some of the local leaders realizing that the actions of extremists had resulted in un-fair stereotyping of Muslims,” the MCCT website reads.
“We wanted to live Islam through what the Quran asks us to do,” Mansoor said. “The
Quran asks us to be aware and to serve humanity. That is the way you serve God… (it is) a form a worship.”
Local Muslims join mem-bers of other faiths to par-ticipate regularly in service at soup kitchens, including Mercy Shelter in Hartford and the Friendship Center in New Britain. Local Muslims also participate in Habitat for Humanity’s House of Abra-ham Program, which brings together Muslims, Jews, and Christians who share Abra-ham as a common religious figure.
Muslims also participate in the Foodshare Walk Against Hunger in Hartford every year. Mansoor said the com-munity has welcomed service from Muslims. For exam-ple, the walk accommodates the Muslims’ midday prayer, which falls during the Food-share program. All three faith leaders participate in an in-terfaith prayer, followed by the Muslims’ midday prayer, after which the walk goes on.
In the media, “you hear that Islam is a violent reli-gion,” Mansoor said, but for him Islam is a religion that condemns violence; he cites a scripture that compares kill-ing a person to “killing all of humanity.” Mansoor also said
that Islam is not a religion op-posed to free speech.
Local Muslims sought to spearhead efforts to hold a memorial service remember-ing victims of the Sept. 11 at-tacks on the 10thanniversary, and found their efforts wel-comed by other local faith leaders, Mansoor said. The organization also recently posted a statement on its website condemning the at-tack by gunmen on the of-fices of the Parisian magazine Charlie Hebdo.
“I don’t think we should just blame the media,” for stereotypes of Muslims or the ways violent extremists are sometimes conflated with all Muslims, Mansoor said.
“We should try to make a difference in the community and allow people to ask us what Islam represents to us.”
One problem is that many people know very little about their Muslim neighbors in American communities. “Not only are we a minority com-munity that is not well un-derstood, we are a relatively new minority community in America,” Mansoor said.
“There are extremists in all faith communities, and we have our extremists,” Mansoor said. The Mus-lim Coalition of Connecti-
cut, however, “actively tries to show the true calling of Islam, which is not only to serve humanity but to be a voice of moderation.”
According to Mansoor, moderation is an important tenet of his faith. “At all times, a Muslim should be thinking, ‘is this the middle course,’” avoiding extremism while also not becoming too lax in one’s faith, he said.
“This comes directly from the life of the prophet,” Man-soor said.
After the Islamic prophet Muhammad was forced to leave Mecca and settled in Medina, he drafted the con-stitution that would govern that community, which in-cluded local Jews as well as polytheists. “He formed the constitution of Medina, giv-ing rights to women and to minorities, and this is hardly ever spoken about,” Mansoor said.
“Islam is very much a reli-gion that asks you to go out and be part of the community and do service to the commu-nity,” Mansoor said.

A thick fog covered the ground as I dressed for a cold, morning walk on the frozen lake. The view outside my bedroom window was not inviting as the trees blew in the gray mist. I made myself a pot of coffee instead.
After finally draining the warm liquid from my refilled mug, I added an extra layer of clothing and walked across the street to the water.
The blanket of fog, still thick along the roadway had begun to lift in front of me. Ice fishermen dotted the lake view as I slid down the shoreline bank onto the icy surface. Porta-ble chairs were positioned next to sleds piled high with skimmers, chisels, hooks, buckets, extra layers of clothes and thermoses filled with hot drinks. Scattered across the lake were ice augers used to drill 12-inch fishing holes. Wooden tip-ups were placed in each circular opening. As the red flags on the tip-ups began to spring up, excited fishermen checked for their latest catch.
As I walked, cracks of sunlight continued to break wider through the clouds sparkling on the snow-covered lake. Where the snow had melted, a mural of dark webbed lines, bubbles of pure white and fallen branches glistened through the transparent surface. Other than the occasional nod as I passed by a fishing area, I walked in solitude. The silence was understood; we were here to be awed, to experience the wonders before us. In quiet surrender, I gave my worries to the wind. I accepted pleasure from the sunlight dancing on the frozen surface in front of me. Whenever the trees waved from the shore-line, I welcomed their hospitality. I felt secure somehow, even thought I knew that there was only inches of ice between me and the deeper waters below.
As I drank my morning coffee and viewed the lake from my kitchen window, I couldn’t
see past the fog. Once I stepped into it how-ever, I found a world inside the fog cloaked exterior that was filled with the beauty of light, peace and love. Each action, the crunch of the snow beneath my feet, the soft caress of the breeze through my hair, the waving of the barren tree branches in the distance to the joyful holler as a fisherman made his catch, deepened my experience.
How often this is true in my life. When I fi-nally walk through the emotional fog of con-fusion, anger, doubt and fear, I come to my own light. It is only then that I find what I de-sire. It is only then that I discover the beauty that was waiting for me.

Sports
Boys basketball
An up and down week for the Redcoats saw them finish play 1-1 to bring their record to 3-4 on the year.
Berlin began the stretch with a disheartening loss at the hands of Bristol Eastern, 73-39. While the 28-14 half-time deficit wasn’t pretty, it was the third quarter that re-ally put the hometown team out of contention; the Lanc-ers outscored the Redcoats 24-8 in the frame.
BHS senior Dominic Nuzzo led the team with 15 points, while juniors Evan McKinnen and Jake McCarthy added six apiece. Junior Evan Cornwall added four while no other player scored more than two points for the locals. The loss was easily the worst for the team this winter, as it proved to be the most points Berlin has allowed all season. The Redcoats were also one point away from tying their lowest scoring output all season.
The team was able to right the ship to end its week on a high note with a 68-56 vic-
tory over Platt. The Red-coats jumped out to a 23-4 first-quarter lead and never looked back.
Four players scored in dou-ble figures for the victors, in-cluding Nuzzo (15 points), McCarthy (15), junior Kyle Mahoney (11), and senior R.J. Veneziano (11).
WrestlingThe Redcoats continue to
dominate on the mats, as a 5-0 stretch helped the team improve to 12-3 on the year.
Berlin began its week with a close match against Bristol Central, as the locals defeated the Rams 37-36. Redcoats Devon Reilly (182 pound class) and Vin Biscoglio (195) won their matches by fall, as did teammates Josh Veleas (122) and Drew Mals (132). Zach Pampuro’s (154) ma-jor decision victory earned a hard-fought four points that was crucial to Berlin’s victory.
On Saturday, the Redcoats hosted the Art Powers Duals, and came away undefeated on the day at 4-0, earning

In recent games, the Berlin High School girls basketball team has struggled to find its rhythm in the first half, leading to huge deficits and blowout losses.
That idea seemed far-fetched to those in atten-dance at Berlin’s home game against Platt on Friday night, as the Lady Redcoats jumped out to a 24-4 lead after just one quarter of play en route to a 51-33 victory.
“We haven’t been start-ing well. We haven’t been coming out ready, so it was a big focus,” said BHS coach Shelia King, whose team im-proved to 4-4. “So I think we came out really well. I think it was the best half of basket-ball we’ve played all season.”
Alyssa Germano was dif-ficult to stop all night. The senior captain finished with a game-high 16 points and a fast eight points in the first quarter alone.
“Alyssa has been our con-sistent leader, our most con-sistent player on the court,
and she’s playing with a great amount of confidence right now and she showed she’s one of the best on this team,” King said.
Also providing strong numbers for the locals was sophomore Nina D’Amato, whose 12 points helped Ger-mano form Berlin’s one-two punch that Platt (3-6) strug-gled against.
“Nina’s stayed after prac-tice and has been working on a few things and, to her credit, it paid off and that’s what hard work does for you,” King said.
Berlin was able to extend its first-quarter advantage even further before the half, as the Redcoats outscored the Panthers 12-9 in the sec-ond frame to take a 23-point lead into the locker room.
Platt outscored the host team 20-15 in the second half, but Berlin’s deep bench proved to be too much to overcome.
“We don’t have a set start-ing five. Every night it looks different. Every kid has an opportunity; we have 14 kids that are consistently contrib-
uting when they come off the bench, so we just don’t know who’s going to start every night,” King said. “It kind of makes for an exciting season; every kid is on their toes, so we’ll start to gel, and if we can go 14-deep on the bench, that’s a plus for us.”
Although not all 14 players scored for Berlin, the offen-sive firepower from six indi-viduals led to the win over Platt. Aside from Germano and D’Amato, junior Sam Lynes (10 points), sopho-more Alyssa Grant (7), se-nior Abby Underwood (4), and junior Michaela Dehm (2) all contributed in the book, as Berlin drained nine three-pointers on the eve-ning. Senior Samantha Bi-linsky, junior Alex Perrone, and freshman Alana Garo-falo provided strong defen-sive efforts to help seal the victory.
The W also helped the lo-cal girls move back to .500 on the season, after falling below that mark earlier in the week with a 56-38 loss to CCC South Division foe Bristol Eastern.

Notes
wins over East Catholic (65-9), Ellis Tech (52-27), Daniel Hand (42-25) and Bristol Cen-tral (48-27).
Five BHS wrestlers finished perfect on the day, including Reilly (16-2 individual record this year) and Biscoglio (15-4). Joining them with an un-defeated day were teammates Nick Arborio (108 pound class; 17-1 on the year), Zach Veleas (140; 13-7), and Jeremy Eliades (170), who is unde-feated on the season at 18-0.
Josh Veleas and Drew Mals also had strong outings, as they finished 3-1 at the duals to improve to 16-4 and 13-6, respectively.
Ice hockeyThe Newington-B er -
lin-Manchester co-op team played to the tune of a 1-1 re-cord last week to improve to 5-3 on the year.
The Indians began their week with a frustrating 4-3 loss at the hands of North-west Catholic. Despite hold-ing a 1-0 lead after one period, NBM allowed three goals in the second period to let the Indians of West Hartford back into the game before Northwest scored the deci-sive goal in the final frame.
Luca DiPaola, Alex Bor-selle and Dante Gugliotti all scored for the local co-op squad while Berlin resident Cam Criniti recorded 27 saves.
The Indians ended their week on a high note when they defeated Fermi-En-field-East Granby-Stafford 3-2.
After falling behind 1-0 fol-lowing the first frame, the In-dians stormed back with two goals in the second to take the lead for good.
Aaron Lassen, Marco Di-Paola and Berlin resident Mitch Pitkin all scored for NBM, while Criniti made 24 saves.
Boys swimming and diving
Despite strong efforts in both meets last week, the Redcoats lost their first two head-to-head contests of the season to begin 0-2. The losses came at the hands of Hall (88-83) and Wethersfield (96-82).
“The results are a little
deceptive,” BHS coach Dan Thurston said. “The results were two losses, but we look at them as two very positive meets. We had a lot of re-ally close races in each one, and a lot of our younger guys stepped up in those close races, which was really nice to see.”
BHS sophomore Kevin Klotz had a strong week, as he finished first overall in both the 100 and 200 meter freestyle races against Hall. Klotz’s finishing times were better than those of his state final times in 2014.
Berlin athletes, junior Adrian Wotjun and senior James Sanders, also set per-sonal bests throughout the week. Wotjun set a new per-sonal mark in the 100 breast-stroke while Sanders, the team’s top diver, set his new high score in the six-dive format.
