Each year, the success of the Berlin Fair boils down to one important concern — the weather.

“It’s looking fairly good for this weekend,” Berlin Fair President Andy Blasco said. “Friday night looks great and Saturday looks like another great day as well.”

Temperature for opening day of the 65th annual fair, Friday, Oct. 4, is expected to be 74 degrees during the day, partly cloudy, with a 10 percent chance of rain and a low temperature of 59 degrees during the late evening, according to weather.com.

And there’s no need to worry about Friday night’s planned fire-works; the website predicts a zero

percent chance of rain for the night, with clear skies.

Although humidity is expected to be around 75 to 89 percent Friday, dress accordingly, as it may become a tad bit chilly in the evening. A sweater or sweatshirt is the safest bet.

Saturday’s chance of rain is slightly higher, in the 20 percent chance range, with partly cloudy skies pre-dicted throughout the day and night, but Blasco said he’s holding out hope it will be a beautiful day.

Saturday’s daytime temperatures should be in the upper 70s with hu-midity in the low 80s. Weather.com sees temperatures cooling down to 57 degrees at night, but the humid-ity is expected to rise to 90 percent.

After interviewing five officers during a special meeting Sept. 25, the Police Commission dismissed a case concerning allegations that Chief Paul Fitzgerald mis-handled an investigation involving a child sex predator.

Berlin resident Michael Rogan, in a letter he addressed to the police commissioners, alleges Fitzgerald has a “personal vindictive agenda” against him.

Rogan’s letter stems from an investigation that involved his 8-year-old daughter, which led to the arrest of a 29-year-old Wallingford man, Charles Ofori, of 13 Brookview Ave., on Aug. 29.

“Based on our discussion and the ques-tioning of the witness, we (the police com-mission, in an unanimous decision) find that the allegations submitted by Mr. Rogan against Chief Fitzgerald are baseless, and this matter is closed,” said Joseph Annunziata, Police Commission chairman.

Rogan asserts the investigation was not handled in a timely manner. Also, he alleges there was a department cover up.

According to an arrest warrant, on the eve-ning of July 17 the Berlin Police Department was notified by Rogan after he and his wife were made aware of an exchange of text mes-sages between Ofori and the juvenile girl.

The predator attempted to entice the child into sending pictures of herself after she made it clear she was only 8-years-old.

According to the arrest warrant, Officer Scott Calderone responded to the call. After speaking with Rogan and his wife, the case was taken over by the detective bureau for further investigation. The juvenile’s cell phone was retrieved and brought back to the department where detectives began texting Ofori disguised as the child.

“From there Officer Calderone worked expediently and tirelessly in unison with Detective Doug Bartolomeo and Detective Shawn Solek,” Rogan’s letter states. “In a mat-

The beginning of the 2013-14 school year not only marked the implementa-tion of the Common Core State Standards throughout Connecticut, it also marked the start of full-day kinder-garten in the Berlin public school system.

Last year when the Board of Education discussed the idea of implementing full-day kindergarten into the school district some parents were concerned children would have a hard time adjusting to the longer school days, since most preschools are half-days. But kindergarten teach-ers at Griswold, Willard and Hubbard elementary schools said, so far, they have not heard any complaints.

“Parents see (the teachers and school administrators) are keeping the needs of our youngest learners at the fore-

front of our focus and making sure we are doing everything we can to make them comfort-able while still working hard and working on the Common Core State Standards,” said Jamie Dlugokinski, kinder-garten teacher at Griswold. “During the day we set aside time for social interaction and for the children to play and get their hands into play-dough and puzzles and all of the things five- and four-year-olds need.”

Allie Dunn, Hubbard kin-dergarten teacher, echoed Dlugokinski’s comments and said “students have picked up quickly on the routines of a full school day.”

Eileen Cutler, Willard kin-dergarten teacher, said the first two weeks were a little more difficult because the concept of time is abstract for young children.

“Mr. (Sal) Urso, our prin-cipal, stopped by my room during the first week of school and one little guy

asked him if he was going to start calling the buses now,” Cutler said. “It was only 9:10 in the morning.”

But as the students get ac-customed to the routines of the day in Cutler’s classroom, she said, they develop a bet-ter understanding of what to expect next because their stamina increases and they get used to working for lon-ger periods of time.

“Writer’s Workshop lasted less than 10 minutes the first week of school, but now with a mini lesson and writing time, the children can sus-tain 30 minutes of continuous work,” Cutler said.

Kindergarten teachers across the district said stu-dents are responding well to the full-day program because, Dlugokinski said, teachers are able to schedule five to 10 minutes of rest in order for students to take a few min-utes to “quiet their brains and rest their bodies to pre-pare for the rest of the day.”

So far, a positive response to full-day KBy Monica SzakacsThe Berlin Citizen

With the winter season just three months away, the Town Council secured a con-tract for up to 2,000 tons of treated road salt for snow and ice control through the end of June 2014 with Cargill Deicing Technology.

The current price is $76.48 per ton, which is purchased through a contract with the Capitol Region Council of Governments, Town Manager Denise McNair said during a council meeting Sept. 17.

Last year the state recom-mended that all municipalities purchase treated salt from a list of sponsored companies.

Cargill Deicing Technology was the lowest state bidder.

Berlin committed with Cargill for fiscal year 2012-13 for the same annual quantity and price.

Public Works Director Arthur Simonian said the con-tract is not a financial commit-ment by the town to purchase the entire 2,000 tons of salt.

Cargill Deicing Technology “would like to get an idea of tonnage commitments from the towns so they can calculate their quantities,” Simonian said.

The town has 600 tons of salt remaining from last year’s in-ventory, according to Simonian. With the February blizzard, he said, crews were mostly clear-ing snow, not salting.

“We typically like to start anywhere from 600 and 800 tons at the beginning of the year,” Simonian said. “We had that really bad winter last year and we didn’t have to go for any transfers for salts, just for some overtime. I think we have enough to start the year; this is usually enough to go through two major storms...We’ve been using this product fairly suc-cessful for the last four or five years.”

However, there has been some concern about treated salt corroding town vehicles and equipment.

“I know James Simons (mu-nicipal garage fleet manager) expressed some concerns during our (capitol improve-

ment program) sessions,” Simonian said. “We are looking at whether (companies) are coming out with any counter deactivate technology, either that goes on as a spray or some kind of neutralizing agent, to protect equipment. We heard that is in the works.”

Commercial and nonprofit businesses in Berlin will now have the opportunity to ac-cess affordable, long-term fi-nancing for energy efficient upgrades and clean energy improvements through a program the town recently signed on to with the state’s Clean Energy Finance and Investment Authority called C-PACE.

Town Manager Denise McNair said in June of 2012 the special session of the Connecticut General Assembly established a C o m m e r c i a l P r o p e r t y Assessed Clean Energy pro-gram to facilitate loan fi-nancing for energy efficiency enhancements to a property owner’s building by placing a benefit assessment to pro-vide security for repayment.

A property owner can re-ceive 100 percent up-front

Program offers businesses clean energy financingBy Monica SzakacsThe Berlin Citizen

financing, McNair said, for improvements such as energy efficient boilers, upgraded insulation, new windows and solar installations.

According to the C-PACE website, property owners pay for the improvements over time through an additional charge on their property tax bill and the repayment ob-ligation transfers automati-cally to the next owner if the property is sold.

Mayor Adam Salina said this is to ensure that the in-vestment made by the state and by the Clean Energy Finance and Investment Authority stays with the building and not with the owner.

“This is a wonderful pro-gram,” Salina said. “I don’t anticipate that this is some-thing where we are going to have hundreds of businesses take advantage of this. This is not for residential, this is only for commercial busi-nesses and some of the non-profits. I think our estimate was that there might be two organizations that I am aware of right now that are interested in taking a part in this program.”

The C-PACE program is secured by a lien on the property, so low-interest, long-term capital can be raised from the private sec-tor with no government fi-

nancing required.“The town acts as a con-

duit for whatever properties take advantage of the fi-nancing,” McNair said. “The charges are applied to our taxes, similar to a water or sewer assessment. The town is responsible for the assess-ment, collection of payment, placing it in a separate ac-count and transferring the payment back to the state at the end of the tax season.”

According to McNair, the state will reimburse the town $500 for the services provided by the tax and fi-nance departments for col-lection and management.

“We would need to do

something with our soft-ware vendor in the tax of-fice and have that in place for next year’s tax bills if anyone takes advantage of the program,” McNair said, adding that she is confident town staff can handle this ad-ditional program.

“They will put a separate account in place so that the funds will be electronically withdrawn and sent to the state,” she said. “We do have until next June to put it into place.”

FaithIt has been estimated that

as many as 4,200 religions exist in the world.

From time to time, The Citizen will take a look at the beliefs of some lesser-known faiths. This week:

ShintoShinto (or kami no michi,

“way of the kami ,” or gods) is a prehistoric religious tradition indigenous to Japan, which has been influenced by Buddhism and Chinese re-

ligions and provides a worl-dview that has become central to Japanese culture and national identity.

Shinto recognizes no all-powerful deity and is a diverse set of traditional rituals and ceremonies, rather than a system of dog-matic beliefs or ethics.

The kami are the pow-ers of nature primarily as-sociated with such things as animals, trees, moun-tains, springs, boulders, the sun, and so forth. They also sometimes include the earliest ancestors of the Japanese, as well as the souls of the dead, and are

revered in matsuri, or cel-ebrations that seek to en-sure continued order in the cosmos.

Offerings such as fish, rice and vegetables are presented to the kami and later eaten. Music, dancing, and praise are also offered, and Shinto priests bless all with the branch of the sa-cred sakaki tree dipped in holy water.

Another, shamanist ic type of Shinto ritual ex-ists in rural areas, in which miko (women shamans) speak for the kami by fall-ing into a trance.

Shinto shrines can be

found in groves of trees all over Japan. All the shrines have sacred gates (torii) and often contain water for symbolic purification of hands and mouth; larger shrines have main halls, buildings for offerings, and oratories. Inside the main hall resides the goshintai (god-body), which is some-times represented by a mir-ror, but more often nothing at all.

The classic Shinto shrine is the world-renowned Ise Shrine, the primary cult site for Amaterasu, arguably the most important kami.

weather outlook. According to weather.com, showers are expected throughout the day and night. Chance of rain is 40 percent during the day and 60 percent at night.

The temperature is pegged to be around 72 degrees during the day with humidity at 79 percent, and 51 degrees during the night with 86 per-cent humidity.

“(Meteorologists) say it’s going to be a little iffy on Sunday, but I’m hoping it’s just iffy and everything holds up,” Blasco said. “Everything is depending on the weather, because we have a terrific show this year and I’m hop-ing the weather cooperates.”

Blasco said the horse ring and pulling rink are ready and set for the tractor pulls and the horse draws, and the World of Wheels are pre-pared for Nutmeg kart racing.

Earlier this week, barns were coming into shape with decorations, displays, and preparations for livestock and the various exhibits rang-ing from quilts to tractors to Civil War.

Blasco said all vendors are set up around the fairgrounds and Dreamland Amusements has arrived with its rides and game booths for the world-class midway.

Concerts this year include country recording artist Jon Pardi; Stephanie Hansen Band, a country band from Eastern Connecticut; polka performer Jimmy Sturr and his Orchestra; Deception Fades, a rock band that mixes the sounds of modern, hard and classic rock with alter-native; and masters of the blues J. Geils, Jeff Pitchell, G. Beaudoin with Texas Flood and the Jeffetts.

And don’t forget to check out The Eastern Action Sports Teams Stunt Show, The Marvelous Mutts, the Chain Saw Sickline Carving demonstrations, the Paul Bunyan Lumberjack Show, and the Circus Smile and Aerial Thrill Show, which will all be set up around the fair-grounds to enjoy.

William H. Warren EAST BERLIN – William “Bill” H. Warren, 94, of Main St., East Berlin entered eternal rest on Mon-day Sept. 23, at Apple Rehabilitation Center in

Cromwell with his family at his side. He was proud to be the beloved husband of Dorothy Nelson Warren and cherished their 68 years of marriage. Bill was born in New Britain on Oct. 12, 1918, son of the late Peter Eugene Warren and Ann Elizabeth Ryan Warren. He was a member of the first graduating class of Berlin High School in 1936. He proudly served his

country during World War II, as a Sergeant in the U.S. Air Force. He was employed by First National Stores, and was a Senior Buyer for Stanley Chemical Co., of East Berlin, and Stanley Works, of New Britain. He was a dedicated and loyal employee and very proud of his attendance record, having missed only two weeks of work in 46 ½ years of service. He was deeply religious and spiritual and was a communicant of Sacred Heart Church in East Berlin, where he was a past member of the Sacred Heart Men’s Club. He read every morning at Daily Mass when the late Fr. Car-roll’s health deteriorated. Bill was a Charter Member of the Kensington Fire Department, a member of the Knights of Columbus and the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks. He was the Treasurer of the East Berlin Library for many years. He was an avid setback player, enjoyed golfing and bowling. In the sunset of his life, he became a fiercely com-petitive Bingo player as a resident of Apple Rehabilitation Center where his sparkling eyes, inviting smile and gentle ways endeared him to all who knew him. In addition to his beloved wife, Dorothy Nelson Warren, he is survived by his cherished sons, James Warren and his wife, LouAnn, of Kensington, Dr. Paul N. Warren and his wife, Katherine, of East Berlin; his devoted daughter, Susan Harlan, of Berlin; grandchildren, Michael Adanti, Ma-jor Jason Warren, Ph.D. and his wife, Lisa, Adam Warren and his wife, Jenny, Charlie Kunzelman and his wife, Julie, and Dustin Crawford; great-grandchildren, William, Alice, and Taygan Warren, and Kyle and Colin Kunzelman. He is also survived by his devoted brother-in-law and sisters-in-law, Richard and Alice Vierus, and Virginia Schreiber. Bill was predeceased by his brother, Raymond (Jerry) Warren; sisters, Katherine Bacon, Mary Warren, Ruth Skinner, Ethel Finance, and Laura Meskill. He was also predeceased by his beloved son-in-law, Tom Harlan and his loyal black lab, Smokey. Interment with full Military Honors was at Wilcox Cem-etery, East Berlin. The Porter’s Funeral Home, 111 Cham-berlain Highway, Berlin, were entrusted with the services. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions in Bill’s name may be made to Sacred Heart Church or the East Berlin Library 80 Main St., East Berlin. Bill’s family would like to thank the wonderful staff of the Apple Rehabilitation Center of Cromwell for their compas-sion and never ending dedication.

Leadership concerns

To the editor:In Deputy Mayor

Rochette’s Sept. 12 Letter to the editor; she wrote: “The Republican’s past and current philosophy of slashing funding is penny wise and pound foolish.”

This is nothing more than a stereotypical par-tisan statement, and a falsehood. Fiscal responsi-bility and living within our means is the philosophy of the Berlin Republican Party.

Potentially, Rochette could be the next mayor of Berlin. Will she bring her partisan mentality and false beliefs with her into office? I hope that our Town Council will em-brace all good ideas that benefit the town of Berlin, regardless of origin.

Is she the leadership we want?

Make your vote count

To the editor:If you want to have your

vote count more than once in the next two years, give the four Republicans your vote and you will be pleas-antly surprised. Not only will your vote matter on election day, but also in any referendum that comes up during the year, including the annual budget, or any large sum or monies being proposed by town officials. That, in itself, would be a great change over the last several years.

Letters to the Editor

MASHANTUCKET (AP) — Gov. Dannel P. Malloy reminded members of Connecticut’s largest labor organization Wednesday, Sept. 25, that he supports many of their issues, such as protecting collective bargain-ing rights, even though the Democrat has periodically been at odds with the state employee unions.

While the one-term gov-ernor has yet to announce

whether he plans to run for re-election next year, he sounded a lot like a candidate at the annual Connecticut AFL-CIO convention as he spoke about his commitment to a higher minimum wage, the passage of paid sick leave legislation and his support for the rights of day care workers and personal care attendants to unionize.

His address at Foxwoods Resort Casino came a little more than two years after Malloy had threatened to lay off thousands of unionized state workers if they didn’t

approve a labor concessions deal needed to balance the state budget. The process strained relations between Malloy and the unionized workers who helped to get him narrowly elected in 2010.

Malloy appeared to ac-knowledge that strain last Wednesday.

“I grew up in a house where I was the youngest of eight kids. That gives rise to some sharp elbows, I know. And sometimes I don’t always use them appropriately,” Malloy

Open enrollment be-gan Tuesday, Oct. 1, for Connecticut’s health insur-ance exchange, known as Access Health CT. It runs through March 31. The fol-lowing are some key facts about the new program:

— Individuals and small businesses interested in buy-ing health insurance through the exchange can use the ex-change’s website at www.accesshealthct.com. The site includes an online cal-culator that helps people determine whether they’re eligible for financial assis-

tance or Medicaid. They can also apply for coverage by calling the health exchange at 855-805-4325.

— Navigators, communi-ty-based organizations as-signed to six regions of the state, and about 300 assisters, trained and certified individ-uals from nonprofits, small businesses, faith-based and other community organiza-tions, will be available during open enrollment to help edu-cate and enroll residents for health care coverage. Trained brokers can also sign up indi-viduals and small businesses.

— Access Health CT plans to open a storefront in

New Britain by mid-Octo-ber. Another is planned for New Haven, and more are expected to open. Those lo-cations will be stocked with computers and staffed with trained experts to help peo-ple enroll. Mobile enroll-ment events are also being planned. Upcoming events will be listed on the Access Health CT website.

— Access Health CT offi-cials have a target of enroll-ing about 100,000 people in health insurance plans, in-cluding the state’s expanded Medicaid program, during this first enrollment round.

Letters policy for political seasonFor Letters to the Editor regarding any candidates or is-

sues that involve the political season, The Berlin Citizen will only accept and publish letters that are 100 words or less. This policy is in keeping with the policy of the Record-Journal and will be in effect starting with the next edition of The Citizen. The last edition for which we will publish letters of a political nature is Oct. 24. We ask writers to fo-cus on their candidate’s worthiness for office and refrain from personal attacks on individuals. As always, we reserve the right to edit letters or to not publish a letter. Letters should contain contact information, including, full name, address and phone number. Only your name and town will be published. If you have a specific role in politics or the political process, please include that information. Letters on other topics will continue to be accepted up to a 300 word limit. Send letters to [email protected] or The Berlin Citizen, P.O. Box 438, Kensington, CT 06037.

The Berlin Land Trust, along with the New Britain Youth Museum at Hungerford Park, has scheduled a “tur-tle crossing” for Thursday, Oct. 10, 6:30 to 8:15 p.m.

Program speaker Sigrun N. Gadwa will discuss the Eastern box turtle and the wood turtle. These Connecticut turtles are species of special concern. Both are becom-ing rare in large part because suitable habitat is steadily declining.

Malloy

said. “But more often than not, I’ve used them on your behalf.”

Salvatore Luciano, exec-utive director of AFSCME Council 4, said some rank-and-file members are still smarting from the conten-tious 2011 battle and aren’t big fans of the governor.

Should Malloy run for re-election, Luciano said he plans to bring in AFSCME members from elsewhere to explain what’s happening in other states to change collec-tive bargaining rules. Luciano said his out-of-state col-leagues are often surprised to hear that some Connecticut union members don’t like Malloy, telling him, “Are you kidding me? You may not like this guy, but from Wisconsin, we’d give our right arm for him.”

Luciano said the level of Malloy’s vulnerability among union workers in the 2014 election will likely depend on whoever the Republicans pick as their candidate. While he doesn’t expect the 2010 Republican nominee, Greenwich businessman Tom Foley, to garner much sup-port, he acknowledged that if Senate Minority Leader John McKinney of Fairfield were the candidate, “It wouldn’t be as easy, that’s for sure.”

McKinney has already an-

From Page 8

nounced his candidacy. Foley has formed an exploratory committee to determine whether he will run. Other possible GOP candidates in-clude Danbury Mayor Mark Boughton, Wilton state Sen. Toni and others.

Connecticut AFL-CIO President John Olsen, whom Malloy credited last Wednesday with helping win the election, said labor leaders will need to edu-cate members about Malloy and his accomplishments. Despite the fight over labor concessions, he said mem-bers need to be reminded that “we have pensions, we have health care, people didn’t get laid off; he turned around and funded government, not found ways to cut.”

“Clearly, we need to point out all those good things he’s done,” said Olsen, who re-tired from the labor umbrella group Friday, Sept. 27, after 25 years at the helm.

Malloy, who said he ex-pects to announce his plans for the election next year, said he would hope labor and other groups would help him, despite any lingering bad feelings.

“This is a tough business we’re all in, labor and in pol-itics. You don’t grow up the youngest of eight kids with-out learning how to fight,” he said. “On the other hand, you don’t grow up in a family of eight kids without learning how to come back together.”

State

— Connecticut’s exchange is offering three levels of plans from three companies for in-dividuals and small business. Individual coverage is be-ing offered by ConnectiCare Benefits, Anthem Health Plans Inc. and the new non-profit HealthyCT. Small group plans are being offered by United Healthcare Insurance Co., Anthem Health Plans Inc. and HealthyCT.

— With the newly ex-panded eligibility, an individ-ual with income up to $15,856 can qualify for Medicaid cov-erage, while a family of four with income up to $32,499 can qualify. Meanwhile, an individual with income from $15,857 to $45,960 can qualify for a federal insurance sub-

From Page 8

sidy, while a family of four with income from $32,500 to $94,200 can qualify. Actual el-igibility will depend on actual income and household size.

— For the least expensive individual plan, the monthly base rates for premiums ap-proved by Connecticut’s Department of Insurance range from $215.17 to $245.45. For small businesses with fewer than 50 employers, the monthly base rates for pre-miums for the least expen-sive plans range from $271.91 to $298.05. Those rates, how-ever, will differ based on indi-vidual circumstances and any eligibility for subsidies.

— Recently released census data estimate that 284,000 of the state’s nearly 3.6 million residents were uninsured as of 2012. Other estimates put the figure at 344,000 uninsured.

1. Work with the hospi-tal to plan ahead

Before leaving the hospi-tal, make sure to ask your doctors and nurses if the hospital has special planners who can help you prepare to leave the hospital. Work with the hospital staff so they know the name of the doctor you see regularly. Ask if the hospital will be call-ing your regular provider to inform them when and why you were in the hospital. Ask them to give the results of any tests or other relevant information so your regular provider can better under-stand how to continue your care.

2. Understand your ill-ness and ask questions about your health care

Make sure you understand the doctor’s written instruc-tions. Ask questions if you don’t understand something!

Sample discharge check-lists that can help you ask questions are available from

the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation or the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.

3. Have a written dis-charge plan

It is best to create a de-tailed, written plan, often called a discharge plan, that includes important informa-tion about your hospital stay and how to continue feeling better after you leave the hospital.

4. Understand your medications

Problems with medica-tions are often the cause for returning to the hospital, so

it is important to take extra time to talk to your doctor or other appropriate staff about your medications. It’s important to understand what medicines you should take after you leave the hos-pital and when you should take them. If you were tak-ing medications when you were admitted, you should work with the doctor, nurse, or pharmacist in the hospi-tal to understand which of these medications should be continued and which should be stopped. Make sure that you have a written medica-tion list before you go home.

5. Don’t go it aloneHaving a family mem-

ber or loved one help you when leaving the hospital can make it easier for you to get better after leaving the hospital. By being in the hos-pital room when the doctor is explaining things or giv-ing instructions, your loved one can understand how to help you get better once you

Tips to avoid return trips to the hospital

are home. Make sure your loved one has a copy of your discharge plan, including a medication list, and talk about it with them.

6. Follow through with follow-up care

Follow-up appointments with a primary care pro-vider or a specialist shortly after leaving the hospital reduce the chance that you will need to go back to the emergency room or hospi-

tal. Be sure that you have an appointment for follow-up care before you leave.

7. Find out how good the care is in your com-munity for patients leav-ing the hospital

In a recent report, we found that in 2010, nearly one in eight Medicare pa-tients who went home after surgery ended up back in

Jean Kaas and her late husband always taught their children the importance of planning ahead. And Jean’s family couldn’t be happier that she took her own advice.

A West Haven native, Jean moved to Masonicare’s independent living community, Ashlar Village, in 2000. After twelve enjoyable years there, Jean and her family realized she needed a higher level of care. Jean now resides at Masonicare Health Center, where residents with progressed memory loss receive specialized, round-the-clock support.

Jean’s daughter Karen says, “My brothers and I are so thankful that Mom is at Masonicare. It’s very comforting to see how much the staff cares about her. They keep her involved in activities and really enjoy her sense of humor. They treat her and us just like family.”

Jean’s family also appreciates the full continuum of healthcare services and specialists available on-site. “Thanks to the Masonicare staff and mom’s planning ahead, we don’t have to worry about a thing.”

With Mom at Masonicare, we don’thave to worry about a thing.”

Why do you want to be a Town Council member?

So I can bring a thoughtful conservative, and a respect-ful, voice into Town Hall that will listen to the opinions, ideas, and votes, of all our town residents.


I have lived in Berlin al-most 40 years, attended the local schools, graduating BHS in 1984. I grew up working in the family business, Kenney-Luddy Funeral Home, moving into construction as a project

Committee. I want to be a Town Council member be-cause I want to be the voice of the people. When we go to the polls and vote, we are not heard. When the current council votes issues down, they do what they want and not what the people want.


I have been a resident of Berlin for 48 years and have been in business for 23 years. I listen to their problems and do what they want us to do, no extras. We have to do for the people, not for just doing what costs a lot of money. We do things that are going to make them safe. The council now does not listen to the people.

I have been a past presi-dent of the Mother’s Club for K.G.S., Griswold School, St. Paul School and St. Thomas Aquinas; past president of the Little League for the Town of Berlin; and a past member of parish councils at St. Paul Church and St. Ann’s Church.

What is the biggest is-sue that the Town of Berlin faces?

The Town of Berlin now only likes to spend money. We cannot do this; times are bad, people are losing jobs and

manager/estimator, and also a project engineer for one of the largest construction com-panies in the USA. I am cur-rently a chief estimator at a small family-owned business. I have learned how to be re-spectful of both union and non-union employees, and to communicate on a daily ba-sis with our team members so that we can try to be suc-cessful on every project.

What is the biggest is-sue that the Town of Berlin faces?

The rising costs of ev-erything, whether it ’s , healthcare, college tuition, mortgages, rent, utilities, unfunded mandates from the state and federal level, and, especially, over-spend-ing, which may force us to

make decisions that may not be popular, but necessary to make sure we can stabilize our standard of living.


To stress a balanced bud-get approach, and be fiscally responsible to make sure people of all walks of life can continue to live here so as not to become Central Falls, Rhode Island, a town of sim-ilar size as Berlin, which filed for bankruptcy in 2011.

A n y h o b b i e s o r interests?

I enjoy spending time with my family, especially with the kids. Wow, they grow up so fast! Outdoor activities such as hiking, fishing, attending Little League baseball games, and charity golf events. I also

homes. We have to be more alert for what is best for the people in these times.


My main goal is to stop spending and do for the peo-ple, from children to seniors, to find out what their needs are and help them and listen when they have a problem. We have to bring more busi-ness to this town to defray the tax increases, from the Berlin Turnpike to Webster Square to Farmington Avenue.

Thank God I have been in business for 23 years and a lot of people walk through my door. They are always com-plaining about taxes. A lot of people have lost their jobs, have children in college, ill-ness in the family, things to be done in their homes, and can-not make ends meet. We have to help by not making our taxes go up, and see if we can help them with their needs.

Any hobbies or interests?My interests include help-

ing people. My daughter had a terrible accident and is in a wheelchair since she was 13 years old. The people in Berlin put my daughter back into society. They made her the special person she is by standing behind her, so there-fore I would like to stand be-hind them.


I like Lady Antebellum music.

like to keep up with current news from all over the world.

As fair-goers walk through the midway of one of the fairs in the area, in the deepening dusk lit by the lights of the carnival and perfumed with the smell of fried food, car-nival worker Perry Graham calls out to them, inviting them to play his game.

Perry Graham has been to many of the agricultural fairs in the area as a carnival game worker. During opening day of the North Haven Fair Sept. 5, he was at his booth, a game where contestants tried to throw a basketball into a hoop a few feet away. A sign nestled among the stuffed an-imal prizes said every child was guaranteed to win.

“Come on, Dad! Let him

play!” he told a father with his young son. They walked over, the man gave Graham a few dollars. The boy missed the first few times, but Graham gave him a few more tries. The boy couldn’t quite make the basket, so his father held him up and finally, his shot landed in the hoop.

Graham awarded the boy a stuffed dog.

A few weeks later, Graham was working the Durham Fair. Fair workers bustled to and fro, making last-minute preparations as he sat down with The Citizen before the fair opened Sept. 26.

The state was inspecting the games on the midway, and he didn’t want to get in any-one’s way, Graham said. He sat in the shade of the cow barn.

Twenty, thirty years ago, the carnival environment was very harsh, Graham said.

“People hated when the carnival came into town with the exception of the kids who saw only teddy bears and rides,” he said.

Some carnival workers were con men and thieves, he said, and people started com-plaining that they paid $100 for a stuffed animal. The State Gaming Division got involved and now, there is more con-sumer protection, more guar-antees that people will walk away with a prize.

“It’s retail sales. You’re selling teddy bears,” Graham said.

He got into the carnival business after 9/11. As a New Yorker and a survivor of the terrorist attack, he became

worried about the next at-tack. Maybe he would not be as lucky, he thought. A friend,

who was in the carnival, sug-gested he try the business.

Today, Graham trav-els with the carnival five to seven months out of the year. During the rest of the year, he works for the Pizza Hut, training cooks every time a new franchise location opens.

He likes the business be-cause of the interaction with people, of the way people smile after they win and they walk away with a prize.

“And for me, that’s what brings a lot of inspiration,” Graham said. “For me, that’s what keeps me around. I don’t think it’s really about the money any more because I don’t think you’re going to get super wealthy.”

He doesn’t recommend the business to anyone who has a family, but as he worked the business, he met other work-ers who left family to work at the carnival, who neglected education and hygiene to live the carnival life.

“That’s not good,” he said.Carnival workers need to

be good at retail sales. If they have that skill, they can suc-ceed in the carnival, Graham said. Also, carnival workers should ask anyone — anyone — to play their game.

The industry has a say-ing, he said: “Don’t be afraid to ask anyone, 8 to 80, blind, crippled or crazy.”

He has helped blind carni-val-goers win his game.

“Just because you can’t see doesn’t mean you can’t have fun,” he said.

There is never lack of in-spiration when the Berlin Historical Society looks for inventive ways to tell the story of the town’s history. Over the past 10 Berlin Fair seasons, we’ve recreated memorable scenes such as the 1907 Ladies Tea Room in a tent, a graveyard of realistic tombstones, the Berlin-New Britain trolley, the Seymour Fort in The Great Swamp, the Yankee Peddler and other vignettes.

Every year we astonish vis-itors with displays and DVDs

that are both entertaining and educational. It is a lot of work for a small group of volunteers, but we are grati-fied by the positive feedback from those who visit the mu-seum barn during those three days in October.

This year we took inspira-tion from columns printed in The Berlin News between 1893-1901. Since Victorian times, the Halloween spirit has enticed us to decorate our homes and play host to spooky-fun parties. Stories reported elaborate parties

at a particularly elegant new mansion in East Berlin and other 19th century homes. Unlike the dry news stories characterizing modern re-porting, the vivid detail in these accounts is fascinating. Not only do we know who at-tended a party, but what they wore, what they ate and how the hosts decorated.

Branches of evergreen hang over windows, star strewn gauze drapes door-ways, “jack-lanterns” throw a “ghastly glimmer” and corn stalks stand in cor-

Ghastly ghouls visit the museum barn

The Berlin Historical Society will sponsor a temporary U.S. Postal Service Substation in it’s building at the Berlin Fair on Friday, Oct. 4, and Saturday, Oct. 5, from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.

A c o m m e m o r a -tive postcard, pictorial cancellation, and me-dallion honoring the 150th Anniversary of the 1st permanent Civil War Monument in the United States will be offered for sale.

The Museum will also feature exhibits including A Victorian Halloween, The Civil War, and The American Flag: Honor and Glory. Visitors may enjoy other fair activities.

The Berlin fairgrounds are located on Beckley Road. For more information, call the Berlin Historical Society Museum at (860) 828-5114 or email at [email protected].

ners. Guests arrive dressed in an array of costumes — an Egyptian princess, Red-Riding Hood, Mexican Caballero, Milk Maid and Mephistopheles. Curiously, guests are required to com-municate in sign language while games of whist, apple bobbing and fortune telling fill the evening.

Another party described was The Berlin Social Club’s Hop where costumed cou-ples processed in a grand march followed by danc-ing. This event was held at Brandegee Hall, a town com-munity center and theater on Worthington Ridge. The building would later become Berlin Town Hall.

We’ve recreated much of the decoration and food they had at these parties

along with the games played. Victorians were obsessed with divination games and so the display includes a veiled fortune teller who may at times come to life and share her visions with visitors. We’ll provide free handouts on how Halloween has been observed through-out history. Perhaps our dis-play will inspire your own Halloween party.

In another area of the museum barn we con-tinue to commemorate The American Civil War years with a soldiers’ encamp-ment scene and a display reflecting on the Battle of Gettysburg, 150 years ago. We also pay tribute to the oldest permanent Civil War

An international sen-sation in the polka world will be hitting the stage at the Berlin Fair Saturday, Oct. 5. Jimmy Sturr and his Orchestra has over 106 re-cordings, which have been recognized and rewarded throughout the music in-dustry, and rumor has it that Sturr has a big following in Connecticut.

The fact that Jimmy Sturr and his Orchestra is on the top 10 list of the all-time Grammy Awards, has won 18 Grammy Awards and has received more consecutive Grammy nominations than anyone in the history of mu-sical awards, has made the music industry sit up and take notice.

Broadcast Music Inc. h a s a w a r d e d J i m m y Sturr and his Orchestra the Commendat ion of Excellence — the only one ever awarded in the polka field. Their popularity has resulted in not only numer-ous Grammy Awards, but also being voted the number one polka band in the coun-

try for the past 10 years. Jimmy Sturr and his

Orchestra just completed their fourth recording with country superstar Willie Nelson. They also have re-corded with other artists such as The Oak Ridge Boys , Charl ie Daniels , Boots Randolph, Mel Tillis, Brenda Lee, plus banjo vir-tuoso Bela Fleck and and folk legend Arlo Guthrie.

One of the major events in Jimmy’s career came when the Orchestra was asked to appear on The Grand Ole Opry. They were not only the only polka band to all appear, but the only band to appear with brass.

Sturr has his own televi-sion show on the RFDTV network on Fridays and on Family Net on Sundays. He also has a syndicated ra-dio show on Sirius XM ru-ral/radio Channel 80 on Saturdays.

Sturr, 72, lives in the house he grew up in the up-state village of Florida, New York, with a population of 1 ,800. His hometown re-

Polka comes to the Berlin Faircently honored Sturr by placing a Star of Fame in the walkway on Main Street. They also display Hometown of polka king Jimmy Sturr signs at each entrance to the village.

Five gold albums, each representing five million dollars in sales, are dis-played on his office walls, inside his home, where he runs his various businesses which inc lude Uni ted Polka Artists, Starr Record Company, Jimmy Sturr Travel Agency, a publishing company and his syndicated radio show.

A full scholarship gave Jimmy the opportunity to attend and graduate from Valley Forge Military Academy. Among his many accolades, and something Jimmy is very proud of, is his selection by The Valley Forge Military Academy as Man of the Year, he was honored with a full-dress parade in front of the Corp of Cadets at VFMA.

Stephanie Hansen and her band are in their fifth sea-son of performing through-out New England. Her shows have included fairs and fes-tivals, along with open-ing for country music stars Sammy Kershaw, Josh Gracin, Lonestar and Sara Evans.

Hansen participated in a Q&A with The Berlin Citizen.

When did you first got into music and singing and what inspired you?

I guess I’ve been sing-ing my whole life, but I was given my best opportunity in the first annual, Plainfield Rotary/WCTY Country Music Talent Show where I took first place in 2006. From there, my band was formed with the help of my cousin and his good friend who had

a studio at the time. I’ve had some amazing people in my corner, whom I can’t thank enough. As a group we’ve played all over Connecticut, Rhode Island, and South Eastern Massachusetts, in venues like the Mohegan Sun Wolf Den, Newport Grand

Casino, and Toby Keith’s I Love This Bar and Grille.

Can you describe the type of music you play and what the genre means to you?

I love music and singing, for as long as I can remember. I grew up listening to clas-

sic rock from Led Zeppelin to The Beatles. I love Frank Sinatra to Metallica and ev-erything in between. Country music, however, speaks to me the most. It’s so real life, no excuses. I love artists like George Straight and Gary Brooks, and can’t get enough of Miranda Lambert and Jason Aldean.

Country music is, to quote Toby Keith, “Songs About Me.” It’s the good times and parties, to falling in love and having your heart bro-ken. It’s worrying about your brother defending our coun-try, and praying to God when you hear the most important woman in your life has can-cer. It’s toughing it out when everything else has failed, dusting yourself off, pick-ing up the pieces, and start-ing all over, because that is just how it’s done. Country

music tells the stories of my life even though I’ve never met the writers of the songs; somehow you feel they were meant for you.

What would you like the public to know about you and your band?

My band is compiled of some of the most amazing tal-ent in Eastern Connecticut. And I don’t just say that be-cause I have to. This is a group that is like my family. I can ask them to play almost anything and they always deliver their best. They are, in no particular order: Mike Barrette- lead guitar, Robin Aubin - keyboards, Louise Muller - fiddle and mandolin, Stan Forostoski - rhythm gui-tar, Richard Ribb - bass, and Chris Arundel - drums. We are high-energy entertain-

my mom there. It was rough through school, and I wasn’t always happy being part of a small town, but, ironically enough, no matter how many times I’ve sworn I’d never come back, I have. And while maybe not in the same zip code, I’m only five minutes away from my family and the street I grew up on. It’s home.

Adam Mulholland is a lo-cal chainsaw artist from Windham. After seeing the Saw Dogs television show, Mulholland decided he was going to try chainsaw carv-ing. He said he is inspired by the creativity and possibili-ties of this art form.

Mulholland participated in a Q&A with The Berlin Citizen.

When did you get into carving and what inspired you?

I started carving February 2012 after going to the

Ridgway Rendevous, an an-nual chainsaw carving fes-tival in Pennsylvania. I saw other carvers doing this for a living and I thought it was the coolest job ever. Before I started carving, I was an electrician for 19 years and I wanted to get back to art, which is something that I loved when I was younger.

Has it grown into a career?

Yes. I started my chainsaw carving company, Sickline Carving last summer. I do commission pieces through-out the year and attend fairs in the summer and fall. It keeps growing each year. The

Carving it up at the fairgroundsBy Monica SzakacsThe Berlin Citizen

Berlin Fair is one of the larg-est fairs I have attended so far and I am excited to be part of the entertainment this year. I have also started attending chainsaw carving competi-tions. This summer I placed fourth in the Tupper Lake Woodmen’s Days Chainsaw

Competition. I will also be attending my first invitational competi-tion later this month in Mississippi at the Sawdust and Splinters Festival.

What would you like the public to know about your artwork?

Chainsaw carving for me is both perfor-mance art and creat-ing sculptures. I enjoy carving in front of peo-ple so they can see the process. I often dis-cover what a carving

is going to look like as I am carving it, so it is great when people are watching me de-cide what cuts to make and see the carving take shape.

What is your favorite sculpture to carve?

Although I do carve bears, which is a traditional chain-

saw carving, I also enjoy carving a variety of other items. My favorite would be anything I have never carved before. Some of my favor-ite pieces include an eagle, a frog and turtle sculpture, a horse head, a campfire, a boot, and a gargoyle. I also like to do on-site, stump sculptures at people’s houses since the owners get to see it as it is created.

What advise would you give someone who wants to try carving?

I would recommend that they go the Ridgway Rendevous, talk to other chainsaw carvers, take a chainsaw safety class, and find a good saw shop.

Carnival

Graham speaks three lan-guages, English, Spanish and Russian, and he can help “carry you through the game” in those languages.

While the carnival may have changed over the last few years, he said consumers still need to be mindful.

“Everyone in there isn’t’ all on the same page,” he said, adding that people should

From Page 14

walk around the fair, compare prices, to find the best deals. A fried dough booth may be offering a lower price than one a few rows away.

Behind the curtains of the carnival, there is politics, various companies vying for locations, everyone trying to get a few dollars of the fair-goer’s money through en-trance fees, shuttle fees, food and ride tickets.

“The carnival looks good through the eye of a child,” he said.

monument erected in the country.

The war had such an im-pact on our town that a me-morial to those lost was built before the war ended. The Kensington monu-ment was recently added to The National Register of Historic Places and rededi-cated in a day long celebra-tion of its 150th year on July 28. Commemorative medal-lions and postcards of the monument will be available for sale. The United States Postal Service will be on site Friday and Saturday, from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., to hand can-cel postcards and other mail for collectors with a one day indicia stamp featuring the monument. We’ll also be selling copies of Lyman B. Wilcox’s Civil War let-

ters and Cathy Nelson’s history of the Kensington Monument.

“The American Flag: Honor and Glory” celebrates the history and customs of our national flag. Among the displayed items is a photo collage of the annual flag re-tirement ceremony held ev-ery Flag Day on the grounds of The American Legion Hall.

The new DVD on view in the hay bale theater area is entitled “Heritage Routes, Exploring our Roots” — a driving tour of over 100 of Berlin’s historic sites. Copies of this DVD and others we’ve produced will be for sale. Plans are evolving to create a companion booklet and map for the tour in the future. In the Country Store area we offer an array of homemade goods, confections, Berlin pottery, decorations and flea market treasures.

This is a milestone year not only for the museum barn at the fairgrounds, but for the main museum on the corner of Peck and Main Streets in Kensington. Twenty years ago the old Peck Library was repurposed to provide a home for Historical Society treasures. A display will showcase photos and memo-rabilia from the 1993 opening to the present. The mu-seum, sparsely decorated at its opening, is now bursting at the seams. With so many people donating their pho-tos, antique treasures and memorabilia we are contin-ually enriching our knowl-edge of Berlin’s history for future generations.

Response

said. “As teachers, we’ve been working closely to make sure everything is developmen-tally appropriate, giving lots of variety of activities, adding music and movement breaks, different types of lessons so they are engaged and excited about learning.”

During a 2012 Board of Educat ion meet ing Laurie Gjerpen, principal of Griswold Elementary School, said the expectations of the Common Core State Standards does not work for a half-day schedule because the criteria were written for a full-day program.

The main prospects of the Common Core State Standards for kindergartens are for students to be able to add and subtract numbers up to 10, spell simple words phonetically and use proper grammar in sentences, de-scribe measurable attributes of objects such as length and width, and distinguish the shades of meaning among verbs such as walk, march, strut and prance, by the end of the school year.

“I already see a lot of growth academically,” Cutler said. “Kids are like little sponges and absorb informa-tion quickly. New concepts and ideas have become part of their daily vocabulary. It’s not unusual to hear them us-ing sophisticated words such as illustrator, attribute, au-thor, details, predict, sort, or double check when they are explaining something. Having them all day gives me the time to revisit new con-cepts in different situations throughout the day. They have more opportunities to learn and practice skills.”

Dlugokinski said teachers are able to create lesson plans that fulfill the requirements of common core. For example, if students are working on the sounds of the letters, then they might march around the alphabet while they pick up different letters, sound them out, and name them.

“We are also working with a reading workshop model,” Dlugokinski said. “The addi-tional time has given us lots of opportunities to read sto-ries and read them again so students are more familiar. I already have students read-

From Page 2

ing ‘Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What do You See?’ all by themselves.”

Dunn said Hubbard teach-ers are able to explore partic-ular subjects in more depth.

“For example,” Dunn said, “we were able to study apples through literacy, numeracy, science, and social studies with a culminating Apple Day celebration. With the full-day time we were able to make homemade applesauce and have an apple tasting.”

Th e Co m m o n Co re Standards, Cutler said, and the new kindergarten pro-gram is also a learning ex-perience for teachers. Cutler said she has to do her “home-work each night” and plans lessons day by day.

“I write down and highlight key concepts and vocabulary that I know I have to intro-duce or reinforce in particular lessons,” Cutler said. “I have a great kindergarten team to work with and we collaborate several times a week, which has helped me tremendously. We develop units together and share ideas and materi-als with each other.”

Sports

FootballAfter two disheartening

losses to open the year, the Redcoats came across that elusive first win.

After thrashing Tolland 41-6 at home, Berlin can fi-nally breathe, as the team moved to 1-2 on the year.

“Our goal is continuous improvement,” said BHS John Capodice. “We’re go-ing to get better on a weekly basis. Our young, inexperi-enced team started out with two very competitive games, and I think, in the long run, that’s going to help them out. They’ve been in the fire, they’ve competed, and they went out [against Tolland] and executed.”

After managing to score just 21 points in their first two games, combined, against Tolland, the Redcoats sur-passed that number by half-time. They led 28-0 at the break.

BHS senior quarterback Mitch Williams found his receivers all night, as he threw for 171 yards and two touchdowns.

The ground game was also effective for the Redcoats. They amassed 191 yards rushing -- averaging 6.6 yards per carry -- and scored four times with the run.

Both Berlin’s offensive and defensive lines had a

big night, providing gaps and lanes for the running game, and keeping pressure on Tolland.

“They’re getting comfort-able. They’re starting to un-derstand the scheme, and techniques; the more they play, the better they’re going to get,” said Capodice.

Connor Morin, Dante Vasi, Anthony Duong, Joe Chatlas, and Joe Inturri pro-vided great line play on both sides of the ball.

Berlin travels to Rockville Friday night.

Boys soccerBerlin began the season

well; the team’s only slip up coming against Conard, one of the top teams in the state.

Closing in on the midway point of the regular season, the Redcoats continue to thrive.

Heading into this week, the locals were 5-1.

“I thought we were going to put the ball in the back of the net more, but we accom-plished our goal of winning those games,” said coach David Francalangia, refer-ring to recent wins over Maloney and Middletown.

BHS goalie Brian Bostrom has been impressive so far, posting two shutouts, while allowing just six goals all year.

Things would be a lot more difficult on the keeper was it not for the defensive unit that fronts him.

Led by Matt Heimlich, Ni c k Vree l an d , Steve Petrario and Nate Aroian, the back line has eased some of the pressure on Bostrom and allowed the offense to focus on scoring to win,

rather than trying to play catch-up.

Berlin’s foes, though, will have a hard time key-ing in on a single offensive threat. While no one BHS player has dominated the box scores this season, all of the players have given great effort.

Girls swimmingThe Berlin girls keep on

swimming, and the wins keep on coming. The Lady Redcoats went 2-0 last week to improve to 4-0.

With impressive per-formances from a slew of swimmers, the girls were able to come away victorious against both East Hartford (94-87) and the Maloney and Platt co-op (104-82).

Sophomore Olivia DeGroff and freshman Stephanie Humen had impressive weeks.

DeGroff notched wins in the 200 individual medley and 100 breaststroke, while Humen had strong-second place finishes in the 200 in-dividual medley and the 100 breaststroke against East Hartford.

In other action, junior Kelsie Anderson set a per-sonal best in the 500 free-style against East Hartford, then bested her time by 20 seconds against Maloney/Platt.

VolleyballAfter losing their first four

matches by a set count of 12-0, the Lady Redcoats looked like a team that may suffer

‘Coats Notes blowout losses the entire season.

Not so.The girls posted a record

of 1-2 last week and look to be turning things around.

In last week’s matchups, the Lady Redcoats won six of 13 sets.

One of the team’s strengths this season has been serv-ing. Five girls who have at-tempted 30 serves or more hold a serve percentage of 85 or better.

Seniors Olivia Dellaquila and Amanda Paterson lead the way with 98 and 100 percent serving accuracy, respectively.

The Lady Redcoats have averaged 19.2 digs per set.

Unfortunately, though, putting opponents away is a weakness.

Berlin averages just 5.4 kills per set.

Cross countryThe boys’ and girls’ teams

had solid starts to the sea-son, and added to their suc-cesses at the Winding Trails Invitational Saturday, Sept. 28.

The girls finished first in the team competition with a total of 47 points.

Freshman Lisa Grieco fin-ished second overall in the race with a time of 20:38.02. The girls also had two other top-10 finishers in junior Kristen Madeia (seventh, 21:32.07) and senior Nicole Grieco (ninth, 21:41.33).

Last week, the Berlin High School Athletic Hall of Fame an-nounced the fifth ever class to be enshrined alongside Berlin’s best.

Ten i nd iv idua ls , a nd one Redcoat team, will be inducted in April during a ceremony at the Aqua Turf Club in Plantsville.

“I believe we have another out-

standing class of inductees going into the Hall of Fame this year,” said Jerry Siegal, nominee com-mittee chairman.

Spanning more than 50 years of Redcoat tradition, the incoming class includes: Jack Cooney (BHS Class of 1945), Carl Ciarcia (‘53), Frank Marturano (’65), Richard McKeon (‘75), Mark Buckley (‘84), Michelle Bedard Pascetta (’87), Scott Wenzel (‘89), Josh Clifford (‘92), Lynne Orlowsky Finn (‘94),

and David Francalangia (’96), as well as the 1962 BHS foot-ball team, which compiled a 7-0 record and won the Northwest Conference championship.

Francalangia, who played base-ball and soccer during his time at BHS, was honored to hear that he was selected.

“It ’s def initely an honor to be inducted into the Hall of Fame,” said Francalangia, who has served as the BHS boys soc-

cer coach for 14 seasons. “It felt a l ittle awkward being in the school, and finding out I was se-lected. But a lot of people said, ‘You have to get rid of that feel-ing. You’ve done a lot, not only as a player, but the success of the soccer program has been great, and you’re definitely a deserving candidate.’”

The BHS boys weren’t as successful as their counter-parts, but still managed to finish fourth in the field of 12, with a team score of 114.

Berlin’s top finisher was senior James Dwyer, who completed the 5K course in 18:01.11.

Also finishing in the top 25 for the Redcoats were soph-

From

omore Connor Ladd (21st, 18:36.00), sophomore Jake Harris (23rd, 18:42.00), and junior Sam Papacoda (24th, 18:51.41).

Girls soccerThe Lady Redcoats had

been on a tear prior to fac-ing Middletown last week. But Berlin couldn’t keep its success going, as it dropped a 1-0 decision to the Blue Dragons.

The girls simply couldn’t get anything going against

Middletown, which took over sole possession of first place in the CCC South.

BHS sophomore Michaela Dehm played well in goal, stopping seven shots.

Prior to being shut out, the girls had been on an of-fensive tear. The locals had scored 14 goals in their pre-vious three matches alone, and had tallied 17 goals on the year.

Berlin headed into this week with a record of 4-2-1.

Case

ter of days they were able to track down the identity of the suspect as well as make con-tact with him. Truly outstand-ing and amazing work by these devoted professionals.”

According to Rogan, that is when the case began to slow down.

Rogan claims Fitzgerald, Lt. James Gosselin and Sgt. Christopher Tralli pressured Calderone to “alter” his initial police report by adding a sup-plement that states “DCF was not notified at this time.”

Fitzgerald said he did not or-der any of his officers or detec-tives to contact the Department of Children and Families.

But Calderone was in-structed by Tralli and Gosselin to add the supplement to the report.

“It was a strange request,” Calderone said, adding that in all of his 30 years (as a police officer) he was never asked, “did you contact DCF?”

Calderone said when he initially spoke with Rogan on scene, nothing led him to be-lieve DCF needed to be no-tified. However, Calderone said he initially felt the child was in danger, since the child gave Ofori her real address and name.

After further investigation by Solek and Tralli, both said they did not believe the child

From Page 1

was in danger.Solek, lead investigator, said

he contacted DCF for general information, and if the police department should seek proper counseling for the child.

According to Gosselin and Tralli, the call to DCF was anonymous and no names were used. Solek said he felt there was no need to file a re-port with DCF.

“It wasn’t a referral to DCF,” Solek said.

Calderone, Tralli said, was advised to add the supple-ment in order to document ev-ery step of the investigation. Fitzgerald said it is not uncom-mon for an officer to be or-dered to add a supplement to a report by a supervisor.

Detective Solek filed for a warrant for the arrest of Ofori with the New Britain GA 15 courthouse before Solek left for vacation. Due to information that needed to be corrected, the warrant was held up in court. Solek refiled for a warrant once back from vacation on Aug. 17.

In his letter, Rogan asked why Fitzgerald did not in-tervene and assist with the warrant.

“An active child predator had not yet been arrested and still was on the loose....Absolutely deplorable and unconscio-nable, that the chief of police would further endanger the safety and life of my 8-year-old daughter, just so that he could

Salt

Although equipment corro-sion is a concern, Simonian said the magnesium chloride salt is “environmentally friendly” be-cause sand is not used with the mixture.

In the spring, Public Works employees drive around town with a sweeper to clear roads of sand. Also, catch basins are cleaned with a vacuum truck to rid them of sand the melted snow and ice carried.

During this past year, Simonian said the town cleaned up all of its sweeping materials from the Berlin Turnpike, and the quantity of sediment was 80 percent less compared to previ-ous years.

“It has also made a differ-ence with the cleanliness of our catch basins,” Simonian said. “We used to only be able to clean out 500 to 1,000 catch basins a year, and now we are doing 2,500 because there isn’t as much sediment in there. So, we are generating a lot less disposal.”

Public Works is responsible for maintaining 107 miles of road in town.

get the satisfaction of striking back at me once more,” Rogan wrote.

When asked by the Police Commission why he did not intervene to expedite the ar-rest warrant, Fitzgerald said “In 37 years of law enforcement I never intervened on a warrant.”

During the special meeting, Solek said only the detective who filed for the warrant can sign off on any changes.

On Aug. 29, Ofori was charged with attempt to com-mit enticing a minor by com-puter and risk of injury to a child, according to the arrest warrant. Ofori entered a not-guilty plea to the charges. He was released on $25,000 bond and is scheduled to appear in New Britain Superior Court on Oct 29.

Commissioner Bradford Parsons said he is disappointed the letter misrepresents the overall professionalism and conduct of the department and the chief, “which we feel is a grave injustice.”

“We apologize for you hav-

From Page 28

ing to go through this,” Parsons said to Fitzgerald, “but the re-freshing result of all the inter-views we conducted is that we know resolutely that proper procedures were followed with the utmost professional-ism, and care and concern for that young child was demon-strated throughout this entire case.”

“Obviously he has animosity towards me and I think the let-ter indicates that,” Fitzgerald

said during the special meet-ing, adding that several years ago Rogan testified in front of the police commission regard-ing a neighborhood dispute.

“He’s been upset with the police department and possi-bly myself directly ever since,” Fitzgerald said. “With Mr. Rogan threatening a lawsuit, I really don’t want to get into a contest of my statements ver-sus his statements. I have no animosity towards the man. He

feels that there is, so and I can’t change his mind.”

In his letter, Rogan also demanded that the police commission investigate the

conduct of Gosselin and Tralli and threatened to pursue a lawsuit against the department if action was not taken against Fitzgerald.
