After more than 100 years standing, the demolition of Kensington Grammar School has officially begun. As The Citizen reported last year,

the school was purchased by the adjacent St. Paul Catholic Church, which plans to turn the site into a Parish Green for church and community events, as well as additional church parking.

For Vincent LaPollo, the

destruction of the exten-sively deteriorated building brings back a lot of memo-ries. LaPollo attended Kens-ington Grammar School as a first grader in 1958, and re-

It was a busy meet-ing July 1 when the Town Council approved a lease on a new snowplow truck, heard a presentation re-garding Berlin’s new mem-bership in the Capitol Region Council of Gov-ernments, and discussed the status of tax sales be-fore referring properties to Planning and Zoning for a recommendation as to whether they would be good purchases for Open Space.

Following a public hear-ing on the truck, the coun-cil approved the lease of a 2015 International 7400 se-ries truck with a stainless steel four-season dump body and Monroe plow. The lease is costing no more than $56,446.63 per year.

Councilor David Ev-ans raised concerns that it would be cheaper to buy a truck outright rather than leasing.

Deputy Mayor Rasmus-sen responded that the reason the truck was leased

rather than purchased was to keep the mill rate as low as possible, and that inter-est rates are currently very low.

Director of Finance Jim Wren said that costs are be-ing kept down by paying on the interest up front.

“Unfortunately, we need the truck now … I am not a fan of spending money on interest but I think, unfor-tunately, we are in between a rock and a hard place,” said Councilor Charles Pa-onessa, who stated that he is experienced with trucks (Paonessa works in the contracting industry) and that it can be difficult to predict what is going to break. A breakdown could set the town back far more than what it is paying in in-terest, Paonessa said.

As of July 1, Berlin is an official member of the Capitol Region Council of Governments (CRCOG). CRCOG Executive Direc-tor Lyle Wray gave a pre-sentation to the council regarding some of the ben-efits of joining CRCOG.

Six Hubbard Elementary School students raised $68 for the “Love for Leah” fund with a lemonade stand last weekend. The stand, located at the corner of Cobblestone Road and Brownstone Road, charged 75 cents for a cup of fruit punch or lemonade, and donated all the proceeds.

Leah Prendergast is the lo-

cal 5-year-old who rode in a horse and carriage escorted by fire engines on Princess Leah Day, Jan. 11 of this year, as part of a Make-A-Wish event.

“Leah goes to my school and we kind of thought it would be a good idea to do something,” Ryan McGowan, who is going into sixth grade, said. “The kids in the neigh-borhood thought it was a good idea.”

The youngsters stuck it out outside for much of the two

days despite the hot weather. It started to cool off towards evening, according to Ryan.

“It was truly the kids’ idea,” said Ryan’s father, Joe McGowan, who thanked the generous neighbors who sup-ported the lemonade stand.

Ryan said he thought pa-trons liked the idea of kids helping another kid for charity.

Some who stopped by gave donations to the fund directly rather than buying lemonade, Ryan said.

The Town of Berlin Pub-lic Works Department is scheduled to replace a drainage culvert which car-ries Stockings Brook be-neath Park Drive adjacent to 100 Park Dr. The work is necessitated due to dam-age that was inflicted upon the culvert during Tropical Storm Irene. Replacement of this culvert will require road blocks to be placed both east and west of Stock-ings Brook adjacent to 100

Park Dr. Detour signs will be posted accordingly to direct motorists around the construction activities.

The road block was to be established Monday, July 7. Contract specifications re-quire the work to be com-pleted within 120 calendar days. The work will be performed by contracted forces.

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

“The Fault in Our Stars,” a wildly popular story about teenagers battling cancer, is a hot title at the Berlin-Peck Memorial Library this sum-mer, according to Head of Adult Services Carrie Tyszka.

The rising popularity of Young Adult novels among adults is apparent at the Ber-lin-Peck, where many of the popular books this year are in the YA genre. According to Forbes, “a 2012 Bowker Mar-ket Research study suggested 55% of YA books are bought by people 18 and older.”

“The movie is out now and the book is more popu-lar than ever. Actually, any-thing by John Green flies off the shelves these days,” Tyszka said. “The Fault in Our Stars” was inspired by author Green’s experiences as a hospital Chaplain and by his interactions with Esther Earl, a young woman who

was a fan of Green’s novels to whom the book is dedi-cated. The cancer Earl suf-fered from is very similar to that of Green’s protagonist, Hazel Grace Lancaster, who falls in love with a charis-matic young cancer survivor, Augustus Waters, due to their shared obsession with a fic-tional novel.

According to Jennifer Needham, head of children’s and teen services, “the books in the I Survived series by Lauren Tarshis almost im-mediately leave our shelves as soon as they are returned. Each title in the series tells an adventurous tale based on a true historical event, as told through the eyes of a boy who survived to tell the story. They are recommended for children ages eight and up, and are particularly popular with boys.”

Any books related to LEGOs are also wildly pop-ular this year, Needham said.

Also popular among teens

and adults is “Fangirl” by Rainbow Rowell, a coming-of-age tale about an obsessed fan of a fictional book series going through her first year of college.

“Other very popular ti-tles are ‘All the Light we Cannot See’ by Doerr, ‘The Vacationers’ by Straub, ‘Hur-ricane Sisters’ by Frank, ‘Mr. Mercedes’ by Stephen King and ‘Matchmaker’ by Hiller-brand,” Tyszka said.

Needham gave a “special mention” to “Wonder” by R.J. Palacio. “It is just one of those special books that makes you both laugh and cry and, ultimately, it just finds its way into your heart and won’t budge. It’s as popular with the adults as it is with the kids,” according to Needham.

“Wonder” is a book about August Pullman, a 5th grader with a rare craniofacial de-formity, following his strug-gle to live an ordinary life.

Demolished

turned to the site as it was being demolished nearly 60 years later.

“The school taught me

the basic way to live a right life,” LaPollo said. “Not all of us were A students, but, you know, we were pretty good, and they taught you right from wrong. It was a good school.”

As The Citizen reported last year, Fr. Robert Schlag-eter, OFM Conv., pastor of St. Paul Church, said that the parish decided to tear down the building because the cost to rehabilitate it was prohibi-tive. The building had issues with lead paint and asbestos, and had fallen deeply into disrepair.

The roof failed a few years ago, resulting in a “waterfall” within the structure every time it rains or snows, ac-cording to Schlageter.

“We here at St. Paul Church have ‘Faith in the Future’ of our town and ‘Faith in the Fu-ture’ of our parish,” Schlag-eter said in a statement. “St. Paul Church needs commu-nity involvement to get rid of the dangerous eyesore which has blighted our community for far too long.”

Kensington Grammar school was left unoccupied for 45 years prior to the demolition.

Council

CRCOG can provide Berlin with the Nutmeg Network, a fast broadband connection that could save money for the town, as well as paper-less office technology and enterprise financial software. CRCOG can also assist and save money with the bidding process.

CRCOG tries very hard to find ways to save munic-ipalities money through ef-ficient collaboration, Wray explained. “This year we saved over $400,000 for our towns,” Wray said, for ex-ample, through collaborative bidding on trash collection services.

One of Wray’s pet proj-ects is the online permitting system, which can be very exciting for tradespersons, according to Wray, as it can allow applications for per-mits – for example, a permit to build a deck – to be done online. For contractors who may have to visit city hall fre-quently for permit requests,

this is very exciting, Wray said.

Rasmussen thanked Wray for the presentation. “We look forward to working with you,” he said.

The council forwarded a list of 12 properties which At-torney Adam Cohen, who the town previously hired to per-form tax sales for the town, identified as not worth going forward with a sale. Some of these properties abut town property or neighboring properties, and the coun-cil forwarded the list to the Planning and Zoning Com-mittee to hear its recommen-dation for what value, if any, the properties may have to the town, so the town could consider purchasing them as Open Space.

Attorney Robert Weber explained that acquiring the property through tax sale re-mains advantageous to the town over acquiring the prop-erty through foreclosure, be-cause the cost of foreclosure

He was in the V-12 Marine pro-gram at Colgate Universi-ty and served active duty from 1942 to 1946 and again from 1950 to 1952.

Commentary

Ensuring that people with Power of Attorney have the power that they need and deserve

Our state legislators had it within their power to make sure that people who have le-gitimately attained Power of Attorney (POA) have their power recognized by all enti-ties with which they conduct business. But our Connecti-cut state legislators failed to make it happen. They did not successfully fight for the pas-sage of Raised Bill No. 5215, An Act Concerning Adoption of the Connecticut Power of Attorney.

Why was this bill needed? It would have united the spirit of the law with the letter of the law. People are granted POAs because they have been deemed to have the full, total and complete trust by people

who need their assistance. But too often third parties, especially financial institu-tions, don’t accept POAs. As a result POAs often are forced to jump through hoops to get important matters taken care of in a timely fashion.

Here’s an example of what frequently now happens to POAs in Connecticut:

A son who is a trusted fam-ily member holds the POA for a disabled parent. He tries to use the POA for the first time at a bank by asking the teller to make a withdrawal from the parent’s account to pay a legitimate bill for the parent.

The bank teller, not know-ing the son making the with-drawal request, is leery of honoring an old piece of pa-per (the POA) and either de-

nies the request or makes the POA jump through hoops before the bank honors the POA.

These hoops may include asking the son to return to the attorney’s office that drafted the POA to get the attorney to certify in writing that the POA is still valid and has not been revoked; or having the son get his parent to sign a new POA on the bank’s own form. The latter often is not feasible if the parent no lon-ger possesses the requisite mental capacity to sign a le-gal document.

To avoid these types of runarounds, back in 2003 and again in 2004, bills were in-troduced in the Connecticut Legislature to mandate that financial institutions honor

a POA unless the institu-tion had express knowledge of its revocation. The Bank-ing Committee killed the bill each of those two years. Connecticut last successfully tinkered with its POA laws in May 1990 when it added health care decision-making authority, and again in 2006 when it removed health care decision-making (replac-ing health care with some-thing called a “health-care representative”).

If signed into law this year, Bill No. 5215 (An Act Con-cerning Adoption of the Con-necticut Power of Attorney), would have clarified under which specific circumstances a financial institution would be allowed to refuse the POA as well as how to determine a

POA’s proper revocation.The Act is a “uniform act,”

which means that it was drafted by a team of volun-teer attorneys from around the nation as a public service. The uniform act version can be adopted by state legisla-tures if so desired. Fifteen states have adopted the uni-form act version to date. In addition, the bill before our state legislature was vetted by, and had the approval of, the Connecticut Bar Associ-ation with the support of its Elder Law and Estates and Probate committees.

Our state needs to join the ranks of the other 15 states, which have had the wisdom to give the holders of a Power of Attorney the power they deserve.

Police station may ultimately prove too costlyTax Payers of Berlin:In the next few months

you will be asked to sup-port the building of a new police station on Farmington Avenue. This is an import-ant decision and will affect your tax payments for years to come. All of us that live in Berlin want a safe com-

munity and understand the police need a place to work. That being said, each and every tax payer should pay close attention to the total cost of the project being pro-posed by some of our town leaders. The cost to live in Berlin will be impacted by the cost of the high school project (which will hit our tax bills next year), and our

water and sewer bills will increase by 10 to 30 percent each year over the next few years. These items are al-ready unavoidable, so you must be sure that you feel this is the right time for our town to take on more debt.

As a member of the Town Council, I need your input on such an important mat-ter. It is not too late to make

your wishes known, and I assure you some of us on the coun-cil will listen. Pay close attention to information provided by our town

officials. Look at the cost of the land acquisition and clean-up of the polluted site. A driveway at the cost of $500,000 is part of this plan. Estimates of around $15 to 20 million have been talked about, but even as a member of the Town Council, nobody seems to be able (or willing)

to offer a realistic total cost to the tax payer. Meanwhile, money is being spent in a “piecemeal” fashion on this project so at some point, the people in control of the town government can say “We’ve invested so much that we can’t quit now.”

Write letters to your lo-cal paper, come to council meetings and commission meetings and express your views in the Audience of Citizens, or call your council members.

Please tell us what you would like to see happen.

Charles R. Paonessa (R) sits on the Berlin Town Council.

The final day of festivities was filled with the hot shot and foul shooting competitions and championship games, as well as an award ceremony at McGee Middle School. | Submitted

9/10 year old All-StarsBerlin 14, Southington North 11: Berlin opened Dis-trict 5 pool play against host Southington North at Me-morial Field in Southington, besting its western foes in a back and forth affair.After four innings of trading the lead with their counter-parts, the Berlin squad got its offense in gear with an eight-run fifth inning.Berlin began the onslaught with a perfectly executed bunt single by Marino Fanelli, and capped things off with great base running by Alex Canzellarini. Jon D’Amore powered the offense, blast-ing a home run, a double and a single. David Manafort scored three times and Sal Dastoli and Kyle Hyde both plated twice, while Casey Ouellette produced three

RBIs.Defensively, Dastoli provided a solid effort on the mound lasting deep into the game. Garrett Fallon came in for re-lief to help extinguish a late Southington rally.Berlin 6, Yalesville 3: In Berlin’s next outing, the squad found itself in a pitch-er’s duel against Yalesville, ultimately coming away victorious.Berlin’s David Manafort and Yalesville’s Joe Amarone both yielded runs in the first inning, with Yalesville scrap-ing together one unearned run and the Berlin crew two runs on two hits.Following three impressive scoreless frames by both pitchers, Yalesville took a 3-2 lead in the top of the fifth. Once again, Berlin’s bats came alive late in the contest.

Sal Dastoli started a four-run rally with a double, and was soon joined on base by Kyle Hyde, Casey Ouelette, Jon D’Amore, and Garrett Fallon. Sam D’Addabbo capped off the offensive outburst with a

two-run single.Southpaw James Ellis took the mound for Berlin to close the door, and shut down the Yalesville sluggers with help from defensive stalwarts Kyle Carlone, Manafort and Hyde.

District 5 All-Stars start strong

After a couple of seasons wandering in the American Legion Baseball hinterlands, the Berlin Legion team is putting together a solid, competitive season. Early last week, Post 68 actually led Zone 3 in the games-lost column at 10-2. But a loss to Cheshire, losing three of four to zone leader Middle-town, then three of four to Meriden over the weekend, knocked Rob Manzo’s team out of contention for the zone title.

Berlin salvaged the final game of the Middletown se-ries 2-0 July 3 behind Taylor Luciani at Sage Park, keep-ing Berlin in the race until its lost weekend with Mer-iden. The Silver City Club won three of four, includ-ing a Sunday doubleheader sweep.

At 12-9, Berlin will likely qualify for the postseason, but it will be in the one-and-done phase that begins July 20.

The zone winner sits and waits for 32 other teams -- 40 teams qualify for the post-season, five from each zone -- to get down to eight teams. Then those one-and-done survivors must beat a rested zone champion in a best-of-three series to advance.

Still, the season represents significant progress.

“We have a lot of guys re-turning from last season,” said Manzo. “We have a lot of second and third year players. They are starting to get it, starting to under-stand what the program is all about. We have kids who know what’s going on.”

Since the passing of a local legend of the links, Ryan Lee, more than three years ago, Timberlin Golf Course has done its part to make sure the memory of the young man never fades.

For the third year in a row, Timberlin was the site for the Ryan Lee Junior Open, a tournament to honor the Ber-lin High School alumnus who passed away in April of 2011 after being struck by a car while away at college.

town were frustrating, said Manzo.

“For the last seven years we have had a terrible time with Middletown,” he said. “Even the year we won the state and regional title [2009] they beat us. It’s frus-trating to lose to them, but that’s because I’m a compet-itive guy and it’s always frus-trating to lose. Middletown has a really good club.”

Manzo went on to say that he and Middletown coach Tim D’Aquila are good friends and he pointed out that they coached together as assistants at Wesleyan University.

“We talk all the time,” said Manzo.

Manzo said that many people don’t know the work and effort that goes on be-hind the scenes in putting together an American Le-gion baseball team.

“There’s fall ball and time spent in the winter, too,” he said. “We still have a lot

of juniors on our team, so things have turned around.”

Manzo said that his club still has work to do.

“We are a little short on the arms,” he said. “But our guys are going to play hard every day.”

“I met Ryan my first year at Timberlin, and it was a week prior to his passing. A

very, very nice young man,” Marc Bayram, head profes-sional at Timberlin, said. “He was on the Connecticut Sec-tion Junior Golf Tour, and he

was just very well-respected and a fixture at Timberlin for many years. So it’s definitely an honor, with help from the Lee family, to put on a great

junior golf tournament.”Featuring 122 players from

around Connecticut and sur-rounding states, this year fea-tured the tournament’s first two-day format.

For the second year in a row, the winners in both the boys and girls division were local talents.

Austin Forauer shot a two-day total of 147 to repeat as the boys champion, besting

Josh Unkrich of Bristol by one stroke.

Berlin’s own Julia Kem-mling took home the girls crown, shooting a two-day total of 161 to take home the victory. Kemmling bested An-gela Garvin of Feeding Hills, Mass. by four strokes, and last year’s champion, Berlin resident Ashley D’Attilio, by

is approximately $4,000 due to the court fees and newspa-per advertisements involved, as well as multiple appraisals that are required.

According to the revenue collector, David Kluczwski, many of the properties in question are likely to have little value, as some are wet-lands and others are contami-nated. Some property owners reached through the tax sale said they were glad to be rid of their worthless property and the tax obligations at-tached to them, Kluczwski said.

The council has not taken action regarding any of these properties. Actions taken, if any, will be determined after hearing the report from Plan-ning and Zoning.

Needham is currently read-ing “Ruin and Rising,” the fi-nal book of the Grisha Trilogy by Leigh Bardugo. “This teen series has got it all: adven-ture, romance, magic, mon-sters and both humor and darkness,” Needham said. “I stayed up all night reading the other two books in the series.”

Tyszka said her current

seven.Both champs were be-

hind on the back nine before storming back to take home their respective honors.

The victory’s for Forauer and Kemmling were made ex-tra special thanks to another local golf star.

“Brent Paladino, who’s a Berlin resident, runs a tour-nament called the Northern Junior Championship. He was willing to extend an ex-emption to the winners of the boys and girls division into his junior tournament, so that was a little something extra to play for, and definitely made the event a little bit better,” Bayram said.

Ryan Lee’s parents, Dan

and Theresa Lee, were pres-ent throughout the Timber-lin tournament, helping at the registration tent, and en-suring that participants had an enjoyable time.

“We do everything that we can – the Lee family and the Timberlin staff – to make it extra special, and I think that’s why we get the turnout we do is because the juniors from all over the state feel it’s a special tournament and want to participate,” Bayram said.

“(Ryan) exemplified ju-nior golf, and it was a shame he was taken away from us at such a young age, but I do know the family just wants to keep his memory strong and keep going with this event and make it better and better

in his honor. And they will help out in any way that they can – and they have – and it really has grown over the years to be one of the pre-mier events on the Connecti-cut Section Junior Golf Tour.”

Cats for adoption - My name is Gabby and I have a step sister, Isa-belle. I am 10 years old, overweight, but I am in good health and I go to the vet every year. I love boxes and I love to watch water being poured in a bowl. I hope to be adopted with my step sister, but, I don’t have too. My step sister Isabelle is 7 years old and in good health and a little more needy than me. We are not used to people and definite-ly would not get along with others. My owner has been very good to us, but, he has to move soon and we can’t go with him! He feels real-ly bad and just wants to find a good home where we can be happy. Pictures are available. Good home only. Paul 860-471-3496 email: [email protected]
