MILD WINTER NO MORE

Winter Storm Blake brought a thick coat of sticky, wet snow that clung to the trees near Silver Lake the morning of Jan. 24. More snow -- much more -- was to follow.

The Berlin Town Council was divided Jan. 20 on the issue of deciding whether to approve funding for the de-sign of an access boulevard from Farmington Avenue to the train station that would also serve as access for 889 Farmington Ave.

The proposal passed 4-3.

The design of the road is being funded by a $500,000 grant from the state, which will also cover a portion of the construction costs if the project goes forward. Head of Public Works Arthur Simo-nian estimated that the bou-levard would cost between $600,000 and $900,000, but the estimate is preliminary

Agricultural regulations are a hot topic for Berlin farmers, who offered sugges-tions at a meeting Jan. 14. A follow-up meeting is sched-uled for Feb. 11 at 7 p.m. at the Berlin-Peck Memorial Library.

The purpose of the meet-ings are to “hear from the

citizens of the town,” said Director of Development Services Hellyn Riggins. Ac-cording to Riggins, everyone at the meeting spoke in fa-vor of reducing regulations, while some spoke in favor of doing away with regulations entirely.

At the same time, “there is a silent group that is not

Regulations

speaking up,” Riggins said. The town planner was “per-plexed,” when some residents who previously called with concerns about their neigh-bors also spoke in favor of reducing or eliminating reg-ulations. After the meeting, some residents reportedly told Riggins they felt intim-idated about expressing an opinion contrary to that of the prevailing view.

One driving force behind

recent events is the approval of the new Plan of Conserva-tion and Development last year. As The Citizen reported, The POCD recognizes agri-culture as economic devel-opment and suggests broad and exclusive agriculture definitions and zoning in an effort to enhance agriculture business opportunities. One suggestion from the POCD involves implementing an ag-ricultural overlay district.

At last year’s Berlin Fair, a petition was circulated in fa-vor of petitioning the town to soften regulations when it comes to keeping chick-ens. The New York Times re-ported in 2012 that backyard chicken keeping is on the rise, with hatcheries reporting “a boom in business in the last five years” encouraged by ce-lebrities and the rise of inter-est in locally-produced food.

Some neighbors, however, may object to the noise and smells of backyard chicken keeping.

“What the plan says is that we want to study and look at agriculture and see if there are ways that we can assist it to be more flexible,” Riggins said last year. “We’re not say-ing we will or we won’t, it’s something we want to look

further into. I want it to be very clear that we want to study the issue. We didn’t make a definitive decision.”

Those who spoke opposing agricultural regulations say that they are struggling to re-main profitable enough to pay their taxes. Riggins said she is “looking for creative ways to help” farmers support ag-ricultural land uses, but the town also “can’t just break down zoning regulations.”

Zoning regulations can be very litigious, and must be carefully constructed to avoid setting a bad precedent that can allow courts to expand what is allowed beyond uses the regulations may have in-tended. Although residents may oppose regulations that restrict their activities, resi-dents also complain when the activity of their neighbors im-pact them negatively. “It is a constant balancing act,” Rig-gins said.

After the next meeting, Riggins will work with a con-sultant, president of Plani-metrics Glenn Chalder to bring ideas before the Plan-ning and Zoning Commis-sion. The commission will then have the opportunity to make changes to the current regulations.

Exciting new Program

The Berlin Citizen | theberlincitizen.com Thursday, January 29, 2015 A3

A public meeting to get input from Berlin residents about regulations affect-ing farming is scheduled for Wednesday, Feb. 11, 7 to 9 p.m., at the Berlin-Peck Me-morial Library, 234 Kensing-ton Road.

The event is a follow-up to a meeting held in January where Berlin residents pro-vided input on local regula-tions affecting agriculture. Since some residents at that meeting had requested an op-portunity to review the regu-lations and provide feedback, this follow-up meeting was scheduled.

Following the meeting, a consultant will be looking at possible changes to the zon-ing regulations and preparing a report to be submitted to the Planning and Zoning Com-mission for consideration.

Berlin residents are en-couraged to attend.

Train

as design has not yet been completed.

The property at 889 Farm-ington Ave. was acquired by the town via foreclosure and the town is currently reme-diating the site using brown-field grants. The eventual plan is to offer the property to a developer for commer-cial use, and it may prove valuable due to its close proximity to the train station as the Hartford Line enters operations.

The boulevard was origi-nally presented as part of the proposed Farmington Ave-nue police station that was rejected by voters last year. Simonian said the road was not conceived as solely part of the police station proj-ect. The road would also al-low utilities to be installed at adjacent properties, includ-

ing the police station site and 889 Farmington Ave. at less expense. Additionally, Connecticut Light & Power would be able to install be-low-ground electrical wiring.

The road would be a bou-levard from Farmington Av-enue to the train station, similar to the driveway that serves the town hall and li-brary, Simonian said. With-out the road, the 889 property would remain landlocked behind other town-owned property.

“Isn’t it a little premature?” asked Councilor Charles Pa-onessa (R).

“We know what we want to do with 889,” Mayor Rachel Rochette (D) fired back. Ro-chette said the road would be needed for 889 regardless of whether a new police station is built on Farmington Ave-nue. “From my perspective the town is looking ahead.”

“We can’t lose sight of the fact that the train station is the key,” said Councilor Mar-garet Morelli, who argued the boulevard was part of the “economic development vi-sion” of the area.

“I can’t imagine what someone would have to go through if they purchased a landlocked lot,” Deputy Mayor William Rasmussen (I) said, suggesting the prop-erty would be “worthless” without the town providing access. Rasmussen said pro-ceeding with design carried no risk to the town, as the design would be paid for en-tirely by the state, and did not obligate the town to proceed.

“We are going into a tight budget year. There are other properties still vacant in town that seem likely to develop, and they haven’t,” Councilor David Evans (R) said. Ev-ans said he ultimately voted against because the money “comes from us in some way. It is out of our taxes to the state. It is tough times and I am not going to support this at this time.”

From Page 1The Public Works Department 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 private property into, or across a public street. These actions 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 fronting along their property. All side-walks are to be cleared and/or sanded within 24 hours of the completion of street plowing operations. It is the re-sponsibility of the property owner fronting that sidewalk to make it safe for public travel. Failure to comply will subject the abutting property owner to a written warning and/or $100 fine as noted in the Town of Berlin Municipal Code. No Parking Bans become effective automatically (or at the discretion of the Director of Public Works) when-ever there is an accumulation 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 effect, will be towed and subject to a fine and all towing and storage charges.

For more information, call the Public Works Depart-ment at (860) 828-7022.

Foundation awards $3,250 to area events

The Community Founda-tion of Greater New Britain recently awarded $3,250 to community events in Berlin, Plainville, and New Britain. This is the second round of the Community Sponsorship Award pilot program. Ber-

lin High School’s Band Par-ents Association will receive $500 to support a Jazz Pizzazz event June 6. The Plainville Wind Ensemble will also re-ceive $500, for a spring con-cert May 3. In New Britain, support will go to Hoops for Homeless, The New Britain Museum of American Art, the New Britain Chorale, and

a girls’ STEM Expo at CCSU organized by the Connecti-cut Women’s Education and Legal Fund.

The foundation “first ex-perimented with local event sponsorship” last year, ac-cording to a press release, when $5,000 was awarded to events in New Britain, Plainville, Southington, and

Berlin. Events sponsored in-cluded a downtown Trick or Treat safe zone in New Brit-ain and the Apple Festival in Southington.

The foundation recently promoted its part time direc-tor of program Joeline Wruck to a new full time position as Director of Community Initiatives. In this position Wruck “will lead the ef-fort to research and identify new issues and roles for the Foundation within its service area,” according to CFGNB. The Program and Scholar-ship Associate position has

also become a full time job with increased responsibil-ities at the foundation. In this position, the newly pro-moted Kaylah Smith “is now responsible for all Founda-tion community response grant-making, and will con-tinue to assist with manage-ment of the Foundation’s scholarship program and Cat-alyst Fund.”

“Our Board of Directors is currently assessing, as it peri-odically does, how we can be even more effective in leading

Crowd-sourcing ideas for its upcoming exhibition Connecticut: 50 Objects/50 Stories, The Connecticut Historical Society (CHS) invites the public to suggest objects that help illustrate our state as a dynamic place, a diverse community, or a distinct idea.

The object can be old or new; personal or owned by an institution or someone else; evoke a family experience or a community; or represent an idea or action; symbolic or literal.

Submissions will be reviewed by CHS staff members and exhibit partners, who will select 50 objects and their stories for the exhibit, which will open May 19. The phys-ical exhibit at CHS will highlight objects that come from individuals, its own collection, and from other historical groups. A virtual exhibit will also be posted online, show-casing all suggested objects as well as the 50 objects in the physical exhibit.

To submit your object and story, fill out CHS’s on-line form at chs.org/exhibition/connecticut-50-ob-jects-50-stories/ by April 30.

Published every Thursday by the Record-Journal Publishing Co. Delivered by mail to all of the homes and businesses in the two ZIP codes serving Berlin – 06037 and 06023.

The Town Council meeting of Jan. 20 included an agenda item proposing that the town authorize using $100,000 of a $500,000 grant received from the state to

plan, design and estimate the cost of construct-ing a boulevard entrance on Farmington Avenue. This boulevard, part of a larger downtown eco-nomic development plan, would improve access to the Amtrak station cur-rently undergoing a major renovation funded by the federal government. The

boulevard will also give access to a par-cel of land the Town of Berlin acquired through foreclosure; which is potentially the site of retail development. Council was advised that if we did not move for-ward with the authorization for plan and design we were at risk of having to return the $500,000 grant to the state. The grant falls under the Small Town Economic As-sistance Program (STEAP); a program ad-ministered by the state to help towns pay for capital improvement projects. Since 2005 Berlin has obtained over $2.5 million in STEAP grants, which has enabled the town to complete capital projects such as the Veterans Memorial Park. Without these STEAP grants many capital im-provement projects would not be afford-able to the town and would not happen.

In the five-plus years I have served on the council, both Republican and Demo-cratic members have consistently given direction for staff to pursue and apply for available funding for capital projects that qualify under the STEAP program;

the boulevard entrance project was no exception. Republican council mem-bers David Evans, Brenden Luddy and Charles Paonessa unanimously voted to accept the $500,000 STEAP grant from the state for completion of the boule-vard entrance. When presented with the proposal for funding the initial design of the project Jan. 20, at no cost to the town, Evans, Luddy and Paonessa voted “no” to proceed. Councilors Paonessa and Luddy provided no explanation for their vote and councilor Evans made refer-ence to “difficult times” as a reason not to proceed.

This recent Republican “no” vote is contrary to, and conflicts with, the town’s ongoing effort to partner with the state for grant funding to offset the costs for capital improvement projects that are vi-tal to the town and improve the quality of life for all citizens of Berlin. Refusing to accept $500,000 from the state in the form of a STEAP grant sets a precedent which could jeopardize future grant funding and our ability to complete capital improve-ment projects.

If the Republican members of the coun-cil have decided that it is in the best in-terest of the town to refuse grant funding for capital projects, then they should at a minimum be held accountable to of-fering their solution for funding needed projects. Voting “no” absent realistic al-ternatives and solutions to difficult and important issues amounts to nothing more than political rhetoric and grand-standing. Doing nothing is not a solution and serves no one’s best interest.

Bill Rasmussen is Berlin’s Deputy Mayor.

Grandstanding against our interests

BillRasmussen

EAST HARTFORD – The American Lung Associ-ation released its 13th annual “State of Tobacco Control” report that found that in 2014 Connecticut again had mixed results in enacting the tobacco control poli-cies needed to save lives and help end the tobacco epi-demic. The report finds that most states and the federal government earned poor grades, and their tobacco control progress is at a vir-tual standstill.

“Connecticut’s failure to adequately fund the state’s tobacco control program is a major obstacle that is hold-ing us back from making progress and further reduc-ing tobacco use,” said Jeff Seyler, President & CEO of the American Lung Associ-ation of the Northeast. “We need to commit to saving lives and reducing tobacco caused disease by boosting tobacco control funding.”

“State of Tobacco Control 2015” evaluates tobacco con-trol policies at the federal and state level, and assigns grades based on whether laws protect citizens from the enormous toll tobacco use takes on lives. The new report comes follow-ing the 50th anniversary of the 1964 Surgeon General’s report, which first sounded the alarm on the dangers of smoking. Now 51 years later, tobacco use kills almost half a million Americans and causes up to $333 billion in healthcare costs and lost productivity each year. In 2014, the American Lung Association and its partners called for immediate action on tobacco use by all levels of government to achieve three bold goals:

Reduce smoking rates, currently at about 18 per-cent, to less than 10 percent by 2024;

Protect all Americans from secondhand smoke by 2019; and

Ultimately eliminate the death and disease caused by

tobacco use.“The American Lung As-

sociation is urging states and the federal government to take needed steps to achieve these bold goals,” said Sey-ler. “It’s no secret how to reduce tobacco use in the United States, our state and federal leaders need to muster the political will to implement these proven policies. Our nation cannot afford the health or financial consequences of their con-tinued failure to act.”

Grades for Connecticut“State of Tobacco Control

2015” finds state level prog-ress on proven tobacco con-trol policies all-but stalled in 2014. However, Connecti-cut’s mixed grades show that progress is possible, although even more needs to be done by our elected offi-cials to pass proven policies that will reduce tobacco use and save lives.

Priorities that must be addressed to improve Con-necticut’s “State of Tobacco Control” grades in 2015 in-clude increasing tobacco prevention and control funding so that it is funded at least half of the CDC-rec-ommended level and closing loopholes in the state’s clean indoor act.

“With two F’s a C and a B, this is a report card that Connecticut residents should not be proud of,” said Ruth Canovi, Public Pol-icy Manager at the Amer-ican Lung Association of the Northeast. “Leaders in Hartford must step up to provide smokers with the support they need to quit and adequately fund preven-tion programs that help keep our kids off tobacco,” said Canovi.

Health insurance cover-age to provide smokers ac-cess to all the tools proven to help them quit, was a hot topic again in 2014. All state health insurance commis-sioners must make sure in-

BHS drops Devils in rivalry game

PLAINVILLE – In a battle of struggling rivals, it was no longer a contest of who holds the upper-hand in the overall head-to-head series.

It was about size versus scrappy defense. It was about hot starts and cold streaks.

More importantly, it was an opportunity for one team to get back on track.

That team turned out to be Berlin, which topped host Plainville 53-35 Friday night in a CCC South Divi-sion matchup, en route to its fourth win of the season.

“Plainville plays hard. It’s always a battle, and it was ob-viously a close game for most of the game, but our kids had really good practices prepar-ing for Plainville and at the end of the day, it helped us to execute a bit and get the W,” said Berlin coach Mike Veneziano.

The win for the Redcoats (4-7) snapped a three-game losing skid that saw them fall to division rivals Bulkeley, Maloney and Middletown.

“Since I’ve been at Ber-lin, this is the most competi-tive the CCC South has been. We’re facing a lot of man to man defenses and really, re-ally quick teams and it’s hard for us to get into the lane, it’s hard for us to get open looks,” Veneziano said.

“I think our kids have been playing a lot better. Unfor-tunately, the results weren’t there.”

Against Plainville, they were. The Redcoats jumped out to a 15-9 lead after one quarter and extended their advantage to 26-12 at the half.

“There are a couple big points every game and one is how you start and how

you come out for the second half, and the game didn’t start great for us,” Plainville coach Jim DiNello said.

Despite doing their best to

game-plan around the Red-coats’ long range shooting, junior Evan McKinnen still torched the Blue Devils early for two 3-pointers. He fin-

ished with 13 points on the game, while post presence, senior Dom Nuzzo, led Ber-lin with a game-high 15.

“Dom is very good when he turns and faces the rim, and uses his feet to get to the bas-ket; he’s very hard to match up with,” Veneziano said. “He’s one of our better play-ers and he’s been playing well all year. He works extremely hard.”

Plainville (2-10) was led by senior Austin Butler with 12 points. Junior Matt Festa added 11 for the Blue Devils while junior Tim Dixon con-tributed five. Despite only scoring two points, junior point guard Mikal Salmon had a strong game finding open teammates.

“I thought that was Mikal’s best game. He’s not going to jump out at you with points, but his decision-making is tremendous. He pushed the ball pretty well, he got the ball to shooters … he easily could’ve had 15 assists if guys made shots when he got them the ball,” DiNello said.

The home team was able to close the halftime deficit to four, 27-23, with six minutes remaining in the third quar-ter. Yet Berlin’s inside-out game and second chance op-portunities on the offensive end proved to be too costly for Plainville.

“Right now, our inside game is practically nonex-istent so we’re doing every-thing from the perimeter and you don’t win a lot of games or get a lot of points that way,” DiNello said.

“I give Berlin a lot of credit. They played hard, they exe-cuted well, but we’re just try-ing to find the answers right now. But the good news is it’s not because of a lack of effort, and I’m proud of the kids for that.”

’Coats Notes

Girls basketball

A frustrating 0-2 week dropped the Lady Coats back to .500 with just under a month remaining in the regu-lar season.

The girls began their week with a disheartening 61-35 loss to Middletown. Despite a 13-13 score after one quarter, shots just stopped dropping for Berlin throughout the middle frames of the contest, leading to deficits of 32-19 at the half and 48-25 after three.

Senior Sam Bilinsky led the way with 10 points while junior Sam Lynes added seven. Soph-omore Alyssa Grant added six while senior Alyssa Germano contributed five more points.

Berlin ended its week against rival Plainville, falling to the Lady Blue Devils, 39-34, in a defensive battle. After trailing 9-7 following the first frame, the Redcoats lagged behind at the half, 20-15. The girls were able to tie the contest at 25 with one quarter to go but couldn’t hold off the Blue Devils’ offen-sive onslaught.

Germano led the way with seven points while Grant and freshman Alana Garofalo added six points apiece. Six other players scored for Berlin, but none manufactured more than four points.

The Berlin girls held a record of 6-6 at press time, needing only two more wins to qualify for the state tournament.

According to the Berlin tax office, $80,700 is owed in back taxes on the property. That’s two years of personal prop-erty and one year of real es-tate tax unpaid. A buyer for the property will pay liens on the property before a closing.

Philip Marshall, a broker with O, R & L, said the prop-erty is remote and rather large compared with most modern restaurants. While it’s a landmark business, the development of the Berlin Turnpike provides more op-tions that are better located.

“The time for that type of place has passed. People want a place that’s easy to get to. That’s not easy to get to,”

Marshall said.Marshall wasn’t sure how

many bidders to expect at the auction but said any-one thinking about buying the place faced a “very large undertaking.”

Agents with the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives raided the inn along with sev-eral homes owned by Bokhari in June 2012. Cars including a 2012 Rolls Royce Ghost were seized from one of Bokhari’s Middletown homes.

According to the U.S. De-partment of Justice, Bokhari dodged taxes on smokeless tobacco and cigars in Mas-sachusetts and Connecticut from 2008 to 2012.

Attorney Martin G. Wein-berg, of Boston, represents Bokhari and said his client has pleaded not guilty to the charges. Bokhari’s cus-tomers were responsible for the fraud charges leveled against Bokhari, according to

Weinberg.Last year, Granato said

Bokhari’s legal troubles didn’t influence his decision to sell

The Hawthorne. Bokhari re-alized his strength was hotels and not restaurants, Granato said.

Notes

one period, the Indians dou-bled their lead in the second frame to take a 2-0 advantage. In the game’s final period, the co-op squad once again dou-bled up their score to complete the offensive showcase.

Paul Ciarcia led the way with two goals for NBM while Alex Borselle and Dante Gugliotti were each able to put the bis-cuit in the basket. Berlin resi-dent Cam Criniti recorded 24 saves to earn the victory be-tween the pipes.

Boys swimming and diving

Despite inching closer to their first victory of the year, the Redcoats once again fell short of that elusive first win, falling to E.O. Smith, 93-90.

“We’re really happy with how our boys swam. We had a lot of great times,” BHS coach Dan Thurston said. “On one side, it was such a frustrating meet because we were that close, but on the other side, to continue to see times drop was fantastic.”

While seeing a plethora of upperclassmen drop times in recent weeks, it was the un-derclassmen’s turn against the Panthers.

Sophomore Steve Miano dropped eight seconds in both the 200 meter freestyle and 500 freestyle. Sophomore Joe Leary dropped three seconds in the 100 breaststroke, while fresh-man A.J. DelGiorno was able to drop 16 combined seconds in three separate events. The three also shaved seconds off their relay performances.

Senior Kevin Kennure also had a strong day for the Red-coats, dropping three seconds off of his breaststroke leg of the final relay.

Tobacco

surance plans, under their authority, are following the guidance on cessation treat-ments issued by the federal government in May 2014. One of Connecticut’s great-est recent victories in our

tobacco control work was the inclusion of the tobacco cessation benefit to Med-icaid coverage. Medicaid serves a population that is disproportionately impacted by tobacco use; access to quit assistance for this pop-ulation is so important. The

American Lung Association would like to see these same tobacco cessation benefits offered under the state em-ployee health plan as well.

Overall, no state passed a comprehensive smoke-free law or significantly in-creased tobacco taxes, and not a single state managed to earn an “A” grade for pro-viding access to cessation treatments in this year’s ‘State of Tobacco Control 2015’ report. Only two states are funding their state to-bacco prevention programs at the updated levels recom-mended by CDC.

The federal government took small steps forward this year, but still fell short in important areas, such as to-bacco taxes and finalizing its regulatory authority over all tobacco products.

In April, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) proposed to assert author-ity over all tobacco products including e-cigarettes, little

cigars and other tobacco products. The American Lung Association also ex-pressed strong opposition to the Obama Administration’s proposal to exempt certain cigars from basic FDA over-sight and that it failed to finalize the proposal by the end of 2014.

On the plus side, the fed-eral government issued an important policy clarifica-tion making it clear to in-surance companies that all seven FDA-approved medi-cations and all three forms of counseling should be cov-ered to help smokers quit.

FDA also launched its youth prevention mass-me-dia campaign, “The Real Cost” and CDC continued its highly successful “Tips from Former Smokers” campaign, which a study released in late 2014 shows has a signif-icant impact with even cur-rent modest investments.

“The federal government and each state have a lot of

work to do to improve upon this year’s State of Tobacco Control report. We urge everyone in Connecticut to join the American Lung Association and help us tell our state and federal leaders to take action now to save lives,” said Canovi.

“State of Tobacco Control 2015” uses updated method-ology to reflect the updated 2014 CDC Best Practices for Comprehensive To-bacco Control Programs. It also incorporates other tobacco product taxes and tobacco cessation coverage under Medicaid expansion into the grades. Because of revisions to the methodol-ogy, all grades from “State of Tobacco Control 2015” cannot be directly compared to grades from “State of To-bacco Control 2014” or ear-lier reports.
