After the budget was de-feated at referendum April 29, the council convened May 6 and voted 4-3 to pass a $78.379 million budget, eliminating an additional $380,000, with dis-senting Republicans want-ing to eliminate an additional $545,840 on top of those cuts.

Just 11.9 percent of eligi-ble voters participated in the referendum, up slightly from about 8 percent last year.

Mayor Rachel Rochette (D)

said that it was important for the council to respond to the voters at the referendum and to make significant reduc-tions. “And I believe $380,000 is significant,” she said.

The council took a recess to debate budget cuts before returning to session, hav-ing decided on the $380,000, which includes a reduction of $190,000 for schools. The councilors previously cut more than $200,000 from the budget that was originally

Turnout was excellent at the 6th Annual Beer and Wine Tasting put on by the Berlin Lions Charities May 10 at the fairgrounds despite torrents of rain that dropped up to four inches according to the National Weather Ser-vice, leading to a flood watch throughout the state.

Next week, the Lions Club will host the Relay For Life, which will also be held at the fairgrounds, at 10 a.m.

Despite the rain pounding sometimes loud enough to drown out the voices in the fair pavilions, the merriments were well attended. More than 900 tickets were sold in ad-vance of the tasting.

“It was a great turnout,” Lions Club President Andy Blasco said. “The community really comes out and supports us.”

All proceeds from the event are donated to charity, Blasco explained. The event featured beer, wine, cigars, Dove choc-olate wine pairings, and even free mustaches given out to fe-

male beer-tasters. “With all of this and live en-

tertainment, it doesn’t get any better than that,” said Blasco. He continued, “It all supports some excellent charities,” which include scholarship funds for Berlin High School students, juvenile diabe-tes, Fidelco guide dogs, and all four Berlin volunteer fire departments.

The festivities featured ven-

dors from as far away as San Diego. Many of the 43 ven-dors who offered more than 50 beers and 100 wines make a point of returning every year.

This was the first year for Laurel Brooks, who came on behalf of beer distributor Rogo with free samples from Otter Creek Brewing in Ver-mont. “I love it, it’s awesome,

BHS seniors perform plays within a play

“It’s our last hurrah,” said Berlin High School senior Henry Courchaine of the se-nior class play “Around the World in 8 Plays” which graced the stage May 9 to May 11.

Courchaine was awarded

the Gypsy Robe Award, a tra-ditional award with origins in musical performances in the 1950s. Broadway chorus mem-bers were referred to as gyp-sies because of their constant travel.

The play was about a group of storytellers setting up shop in an Arabian marketplace try-ing to hawk their wares – sto-

ries – to potential customers. Throughout the show, the au-dience saw plays within the play adapted from folktales coming from Ireland, Russia, Africa, and the Americas.

“When you have all the se-niors come together it’s a fun experience,” said Courchaine, who played a lead for the first time.

“This year we have an in-credibly large cast with about 30 seniors participating. This

cast includes veterans and newbies to the stage,” Direc-tor, and physics teacher, Mat-

thew Recore pointed out.Connor Morin and Emily

Dittmar were the head sto-rytellers. “This is the best set I’ve ever seen us do,” Morin said. “It’s almost like (Recore) has been running a tech-ed class sometimes.”

“I really love this play,” Dittmar said. “We come into

Tower

71 just south of Kensington,The new cell tower would

consist of a 175-foot high monopole structure inside a 250-square foot compound behind the Prince of Peace Lutheran Church at 1103 Chamberlain Highway. This tower would fill in a coverage gap left by the current towers.

Senior AT&T engineer Martin Lavin explained that unlike radio, cellular com-munications are heavily im-pacted by geography, and the presence of a hill to the south is blocking signals from that tower.

Planning and Zoning Com-mission Chair Bruce Moore explained that the state leg-islature has given all author-ity over cellular towers to the State Siting Council, but that the council will receive for consideration comments from town staff as well as public comment at the in-formational meeting and at an upcoming public hear-ing should the plan proceed

forward. Moore said that the Plan-

ning and Zoning commission felt holding the information session, which would allow the public to become in-formed and to ask questions and offer comment on the proposal, was “an appropri-ate thing for us to do.”

“Demands on data have increased exponentially and the forecast is that they will continue to increase expo-nentially,” said Lucia Chi-occhio, legal representative of AT&T. Representatives of AT&T also noted that 70 percent of 911 calls are made on cellular devices, and that Connecticut has recently ex-perienced major snowstorms that have knocked out power, sometimes for days. In these conditions, cell towers that have backup generators – like

the one proposed – may be important to ensure people have communications access for emergency services.

Almost half of church stee-ples in the state also func-tion as cell towers, Lavin explained, so the partnership with property owned by a church is nothing new.

The “worst-case” projec-tions of electromagnetic wave exposure is only 2.25 percent, or 1/40th of the maximum safe limit placed by the Federal Communica-tions Commission, according to AT&T.

AT&T conducted a visibil-ity study which utilized a 3-D model as well as a balloon

flown at the anticipated peak From Page 2

of the tower. The sound of the generator also has been con-sidered, and AT&T said that the current plans include housing the generator in a sound-attenuating enclosure.

Director of Public Works Arthur Simonian presented AT&T with a few consider-ations, including keeping the grade of the access road low to prevent erosion, which has been a problem with similar projects in the past.

Several residents of nearby property asked questions and raised concerns regarding the safety of the tower, as well as the effect on local property values.

The FCC and EPA agree that there is no evidence cell

towers pose a health risk to people living or working in close proximity to them.

According to Cancer.org, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) is investigating whether RF fields generated by cell phones are harmful.

IARC notes that the strength of RF fields from cell towers, even in close prox-imity, is less than 1/100th the exposure caused by simply using a cell phone.

House Majority Leader Joe Aresimowicz (D–Berlin/Southington), state Rep. Jack Hennessy (D–Bridgeport) and state Sen. Carlo Leone (D–Stamford/Darien) held a press conference in support of H.B 5299, An Act Concern-ing The Findings of The Mil-itary Occupation Specialty Task Force – a bill that will address barriers to employ-ment for military veterans by requiring that state licens-ing authorities accept mili-tary training and experience,

where appropriate, as a sub-stitute for additional train-ing and by allowing veterans to gain streamlined occupa-tional certifications.

In 2013, the state had 250,000 veterans with a vet-eran unemployment rate of 7 percent. Crediting military training and experience in Connecticut’s licensing and educational programs will in-crease employment rates for Connecticut’s veterans.

This bill will require vari-ous state agencies to certify, waive, grant, or award certain licenses, registrations, exam-

inations, training, or credit for veterans whose military occu-pational specialty are similar or meet the same standards as its civilian equivalent.

Within two years of being discharged from service, as-suming not dishonorable, all fees will be waived as permit-ted by federal law. It will also allow college credits to be awarded for military training as it relates to an academic program.

The bill, passed by the House of Representatives awaits to be called for a vote in the Senate.

Foundation accents leadership with a Husky emphasisCheshire High basketball

coach Dan Lee and his wife Theresa lost their son Ryan three years ago.

Ryan was the kind of boy you’d want your daughter to marry. He was tall, hand-some, intelligent and athletic enough to captain the basket-ball and golf teams at Berlin High. He was a gifted enough golfer to earn a scholarship to Long Island University.

In April of 2011, he was struck by a taxicab on cam-pus. He died two days later of head injuries.

Most of us can only imag-ine the pain of losing a child. The Lee family and their friends mourned, but before long they began to focus on

how Ryan’s legacy could best be car-ried on.

Less than three years l a t e r, t h e Ryan T. Lee Memorial

Foundation has not only dis-tributed in the neighborhood

of $90,000 in scholarships but has spread good will and invested in the future in nu-merous ways.

One of those ways hap-pened recently at the Ex-cellence and Leadership Conference the Foundation sponsored, empowered by

the benevolence of so many in the communities Dan Lee’s knows best.

His work in Cheshire has sent legions of young peo-ple into the real world with a blessing and a right-minded mission. He lives in Berlin, where so many good neigh-bors, Berlin High teachers and administrators have ral-lied behind the cause. He was born in New Britain, and also taught and coached basket-ball at Goodwin Tech, which is where I first met him about 20 years ago.

About 250 students from those three towns, judged by teachers, coaches and admin-istrators to have leadership tendencies, were invited to

Cheshire High for a project that would help them nur-ture their gift. Very few of them knew the surprise that awaited them when they ar-rived at Thorp Auditorium on that glorious morning.

The youngsters were reg-istering. The coaches and administrators were chat-ting guiding their respective flocks when a gentleman fa-miliar to everybody across the width and breadth of our state and sports-minded people across the nation en-tered the foyer with a genuine championship smile that has lit up America’s biggest are-nas nine times.

Coaches and superinten-dents rediscovered the youth-ful notion of hero worship as Geno Auriemma entered the building. After his moti-vational, interactive speech, dozens of smart phones popped up like springtime blooms to record “Me ‘n’ Geno’ moments.

So how did Dan Lee man-age to get a keynote speaker like Geno Auriemma just a month after he surpassed Tennessee’s Pat Summit with National Title No. 9 and is being mentioned in the same sentence as UCLA’s iconic men’s coach John Wooden? Start with the selflessness that Lee has engendered in his crusade and credit the cordiality that exists be-

tween basketball coaches in our region.

I’ve known New Britain High boys basketball coach Todd Stigliano since he was a precocious and efferves-cent freshman soccer and basketball player at Newing-ton High. Todd married Ge-no’s daughter Jenna, and the intimacy of their family com-bined with Geno’s proclivity for rewarding magnanimous people and organizations fell together beautifully.

Geno’s presentation was dynamic. When he asked the youthful audience to make their cellphones scarce and that hats were meant to be worn outdoors, the com-pliance couldn’t have been quicker. The kids and their adult companions were atten-tive, and Geno isn’t about to have his authentic thoughts altered by contemporary cul-ture that he deems is detri-mental to the development of young people.

His view of social media and how it pertains to his team was particularly insight-ful. He’ll give them a little le-niency with Facebook, but Twitter is out.

“They all have that stupid stuff,” he said, in response to a question from the audience. “We check their Facebook ac-counts on a regular basis and

BREAKFAST IS SERVED HONORED

The Connecticut Association of Schools annually honors two outstanding students in the highest grade level of each of the elementary schools in Connecticut who excel in the areas of visual or performing arts and who exhibit high levels of citizenship and cooperative skills. This year’s recipients from Hubbard Elementary School are Gina Scalaro for performing arts and Ryan Sweitzer for visual arts. | (Submitted by Donna Scalaro)

the minute we see something on there that’s inappropriate, we shut down everybody’s be-cause YOU’RE on OUR team. If you’re gonna put stuff out there that’s not supposed to be out there, that means you ruined it for the whole team. So everybody’s real careful about what they put out.”

Tweeters get muffled the first day of practice and stay that way until after the final game of the season.

“You know what? Halfway through the season they for-get they even had one and they don’t even miss it one bit,” he said. “We’re just try-ing to protect them from themselves because they’re gonna get mad about some-thing, they’re going to put something out there and they’re going to regret it.”

He told a story about two Olympians who were sent home from London because of inappropriate Tweets.

“Imagine working four years for the Olympics, you

have a couple beers one night, you put something out there and the Olympic Committee sends you home. That’s hard to live with,” he said.

And if he perceives a Twit-ter addiction during the re-cruiting process …

“We stopped recruiting one kid. This kid had 35,000 Tweets. That means she’s on that thing every minute of ev-ery day and the kid is like a ‘C’ student,” he related. “And the parents say their kid is a re-ally hard worker. No she’s not. She’s lying to you. She’s really a hard-working Tweeter, not a hard-working student.”

It was after Geno left that Lee and his volunteers laid the groundwork for the con-ference’s nuts and bolts.

Aided by a host of Cheshire High students, teachers, coaches and administrators, Lee transformed the gym-nasium into a luncheon hall. They pushed brooms, they set up round tables with chips and salsa — Ryan’s favorite snack — donated by local su-permarkets operated by CHS

coaches Don and Kristine Drust. They rolled out the Italian delicacies (provided by Pop’s Pizza) in a way remi-niscent of a 16th-century feast in the great hall of Henry VIII.

Dan Lee and his Founda-tion inspire everyone they touch, and this event was a conveyance of their heartfelt appreciation.

“It’s a situation where a lot of the community has sup-ported us and we like to let them know what we’re do-ing,” he said as the morning wound down. “They can be just as proud of this as we are. It’s a way to pay it for-ward and we’d like people to know that.”

SportsBaseball keeps winning; Undefeated week for golf

Baseball

Another week is in the books, and another two wins have helped the Redcoats reach a fantastic 11-1 record at the midway point of the sea-son. The local boys began the week with a strong 5-2 win over Middletown at Zipadelli Field. After taking a 2-0 lead after one inning, Berlin let their opponents tie it 2-all in the top of the third before scoring another two runs in the bottom half to take the lead for good. Senior captain Mitch Williams homered for the Redcoats, while junior Jared Gallagher earned the victory on the mound.

The Redcoats ended their week with an impressive win over Conard, 7-4. Berlin got off to an incredible start, scoring all seven runs in the top of the first inning. The team was able

to hold off any charges Conard attempted, with senior David Condon earning the win.

Softball

The Lady Redcoats ’ mid-season swoon has fans hoping for better times ahead, as a recent three-game losing streak has brought the team crashing back down to earth.

The girls began their week in frustrating fashion, losing to undefeated Coginchaug 5-4 in nine innings. Although the Berlin girls held a 3-1 lead after two frames, Coginchaug was able to tie the game to force extras. In the top of the ninth, a two-run double proved to be the difference-maker, as the Lady Redcoats’ comeback in the bottom half fell short. Berlin junior Alyssa Ger-mano homered while senior Makayla Harris took the loss.

From there, the Berlin girls, again, fell in a one-run de-cision, losing to Newington

4-3. The Lady Redcoats once again held the early lead, 1-0 after one and 2-1 after two, yet couldn’t hold on. Harris took the loss.

The Berlin girls finished their week with a bounce-back 11-1 win over rival Pla-inville to, hopefully, right the ship.

The team’s three losses on the season have come by a combined four runs.

Boys golf

The Redcoats have hit their stride as of late, as they swept both dual matches last week to finish 4-0 while improving their overall record to 8-2.

The BHS boys were able to outplay Middletown and Pla-inville in their first contest of the week, winning 163-189-

200. Senior captain Austin Forauer shot a round-best 38, and was named the medalist for the Timberlin Golf Course match.

Berlin ended the week on a strong note, defeating Bris-tol Central and Maloney, re-spectively, by a final score of 165-183-240. Forauer was once again named match medalist, shooting a 39 at Timberlin.

The Redcoats are 7-1 this season on their home course.

Girls golf

The Lady Redcoats have made quick work of their op-ponents as of late, going 2-0 last week to improve to 7-1 on the season.

The local girls began the week with a strong 182-194 victory over Hall at Timberlin. Junior Abby Underwood was the medalist for the match, shooting a 43 on the day.

Berlin capped the week with a dominating victory over ri-

val Plainville, 186-282. Junior Julia Kemmling shot a 42 to be named the medalist for the match held at Timberlin.

The BHS girls have defeated their opponents by an average of 32.37 strokes per contest.

Boys lacrosse

The Redcoats looked poised for another long week follow-ing a frustrating 19-7 loss to Northwest Catholic, yet were able to turn things around, fin-ishing 2-1 during the stretch and improving to 7-4.

The BHS boys finished the stretch with victories over Rockville (14-11) and Bunnell (11-8).

Senior captain Jordan Kra-das and junior Cameron Crin-iti have led the charge for the Redcoats. Seniors Ben To-mascak and Luc Bolduc, and sophomore Garrett Guite also turned in solid work for Berlin last week, as did senior goalie Matt Cote.

Rescue

lated plastic and metal horse named “Lucky.”

Members of the Middle-field and Berlin fire depart-ments attended the event as well.

Attendees learned how to fasten a Large Animal Lift, a device with a metal spreader bar and many numbered straps, some of which cross over each other to allow an large animal to be safely lifted by a tractor or backhoe.

“Have a firm and long lead in case he thrashes,” warned Roger Lauze, adding tension and life to the plastic form of

the 600 pound false horse. Lauze, the equine rescue

and training coordinator for the Massachusetts So-ciety for Prevention of Ani-mal Cruelty, instructed the session.

Lauze frequently warned that the animals being as-sisted by the large animal lift are not unconscious but may be sedated, and continually warned rescuers to show cau-tion and avoid being kicked by the false horse so that the rescuers would learn not only how to fasten the straps, but also how to safely approach an actual injured animal.

“We want everybody to

learn that safety comes first, so you can take care of your-self, your team, and the ani-mal,” said Sue White, DART response team leader.

The day began with ac-quainting newcomers, with little to no experience with horses, with placing a halter on a live horse, walking the animal out of its stall, and guiding the horse out of the barn to safety.

Afterwards, members split into two groups to res-cue Lucky from a barn and a trailer.

The session finished off with learning how to move Lucky using the Large Ani-

mal Lift.“Everyone gets a chance

to perform different rescue scenarios with a fake horse so they don’t have to deal with a real horse body and real horse movements,” said Lauze. “This gives everyone a chance to see how the equip-ment works, become more ef-ficient using it, and become faster.”

“They don’t become faster by being fast, they become

faster by being more effi-cient,” Lauze said.

According to Lauze, the majority of rural community rescues involve horses, but the techniques can be applied to other animals.

“These farm animals are big, powerful animals, so per-sonal safety is stressed during these courses. When people learn how to deal with these

Rescue

types of animals, they’re not being put in a position of dan-ger when they’re called into these rescues,” Lauze said.

The rescue training was “very interesting,” according to David Chowaniec, Middle-field’s animal control officer, who came to the session for professional development. Chowaniec said DART would be the first group he would call when dealing with an emergency situation involv-ing a large animal.

DART is a volunteer-based organization founded in 2006, comprised of teachers, veterinarians, and horse in-structors from Durham and nearby towns. DART assists first response teams and fire departments during any ani-mal-related emergency.

“There’s a strong emo-tional connection between animals and their owners, especially with horses,” said Chowaniec, who also is a fire-fighter with the Middlefield Volunteer Fire Company.

“Firemen are usually the first ones called to deal with burning barns and houses, so learning how to properly res-cue animals is very import-ant,” he said.

“Rescuing animals can be tricky because for them it’s fight or flight, whereas humans are more docile,” Chowaniec said. “Personal safety comes first, but we’re still trying to protect life.”

White said the goal of these events is for each person to leave with practical experi-ence with animal rescue.

Pat Bandzes, who has horses on her farm, said she came to the event to be pre-pared in case an emergency arose at her farm.

“This is a great training for anyone who keeps horses.” Bandzes said. DART team leader White said the training event has been a great suc-cess since it began last year.

“We invite barn and stable owners as well as firefighters and responders to these kind of events because we want them to learn ways they can prevent disasters and how to respond to tragedies,” White said. “If each person comes away with learning some-thing new, that’s all we can hope for.”

proposed. Both Republicans and Dem-

ocrats agreed on the largest item cut from the budget: funding for the Scalise foot-ball field, which needs to be replaced.

Another item eliminated was funding for plans to ren-ovate the Worthington Meet-ing House. Deputy Mayor William Rasmussen (I) said that although the item appears small, in actuality the council

is choosing not to proceed with a $1.5 million renovation on the meeting house that would include elevators to make the building more acces-sible. The council heard a pro-posal to renovate the meeting house, including plans to use it as a history museum run by the historical society in 2012.

Republicans initially pre-sented a plan that would in-volve drawing additional money from Berlin’s fund bal-ance – the savings the town has accumulated, which is

nearly drawn down to 12 per-cent, close to the minimum that is recommended, with an-other two months left in the fiscal year.

Director of Finance Jim Wren explained to the coun-cil that the town had recently gotten its bond rating raised – something that allows the town to borrow at lower in-terest rates, which will save money as the town prepares to fund the high school reno-vation and police and fire sta-tions. Additional draws from

fund balance is listed by rat-ing agencies as something that may negatively impact the town’s rating, Wren said, and the timing is crucial, because after the budget is passed, the town will sell bonds.

Republicans and Demo-crats disagreed on whether the town should include re-placements for a lawn mower and dump truck in this year’s budget. Rochette and Ras-mussen argued that replac-

ing the aging equipment may save money in the long run, by preventing costly repairs. The truck is 24-years-old, and “with the kind of winters we have been experiencing,” Ras-mussen said it was not worth the risk to push the truck to

survive its 25th year. One item that survived in

the budget is a new purchas-ing manager for the town, who the council hopes will save money by reducing reli-ance on bid processes in the future. Councilor Margarent Morelli (D) inquired if the position would be able to be

eliminated if necessary next year, and Town Manager De-nise McNair confirmed that the position was funded with a one-year stipend and could be eliminated next year if the council so chooses.

Morelli said that it was im-portant to respond to the ref-erendum, although she would have preferred not to con-tinue to cut requests from the schools. “We cut the Board of Education budget before … and now we’re cutting it again,” she said.

Councilor Charles Paonessa (R) said that the town’s gov-ernment has been growing “out of control” and that addi-tional taxation would devalue homes and businesses in the town and may discourage growth. The senior Republi-

can on the council, David Ev-ans, said that the government should grow only to keep pace with the growth of the tax base.

“I applaud your cuts, but I would like to see it go to a zero increase or even a reduction,” Paonessa said.

“We are not trying to grow government, we are trying to grow the town,” said Ras-mussen, who cited the impor-tance of infrastructure. “At some point we need to accept that we need to invest in the future of the town. Families and businesses don’t come to towns that don’t have eco-nomic growth.”

Recently appointed Coun-cilor Peter Rosso (D) said that he learned in his years as a legislator at the state capi-

tal that “a good compromise is sometimes one where no one is happy.”

“The people spoke clearly, and it behooves us to react to that,” Rosso said.

The new mill rate is 28.92, an increase of .15 mills, or 15 cents more in tax per $1,000 assessed value of property.

town and we’re trying to sell our stories. When we get a bite, we get excited … It’s cool because we’ve never done [a show] like this.”

Student Director Dylan Stetson said that a great deal

of work went into blocking the show. “With great power comes great responsibility,” said Stetson, who stayed after rehearsals and spent lunch breaks with the director, ob-sessing over important de-tails. Even decisions such as whether actors should exit

stage right or stage left can be very important to the show, Stetson said.

Stetson hopes to put his directing skills to use pro-fessionally one day. He has al-ready received recognition as a playwright, as he was cho-sen as one of just a handful of

applicants statewide to partic-ipate in Hartford Stage’s Write On program. His play, entitled “Pointless,” was performed at Hartford Stage. The play is an existential story about a high school graduate whose con-versation with a friend turns out to be a conversation with

his own subconscious.Every performance of

“Around The World in 8 Plays” was headlined by the BHS Improv Team “Chompin at the Bit,” which performed a 20-minute, long-form improv based on audience sugges-tions at the start of each show.
