Attendees at the Lion’s Club Third Annual October-fest Sept. 6 said they had an excellent time and enjoyed fair weather despite rain that threatened the event earlier that afternoon.
“It really brings people of the town together,” said Cheryl Sparks, who attended the event for the first time
this year. She said she and her husband also enjoyed the Lions wine tasting event, held in the spring.
It was the first time trying Blue Moon’s seasonal pump-kin beer for Deb Pomerenke, who said she enjoyed the va-riety of options available to Octoberfest attendees.
According to Lion Ron Bo-sco, an event organizer, one of the things that makes the Lions Octoberfest unique is
that attendees have a chance to try a smaller quantity of a wider variety of beers than at other area Oktoberfest events.
Bosco said that turnout was initially “not booming, but okay.” Bosco said that the ear-lier rain may have scared peo-ple off, but that the weather ended up being favorable, with a “nice temperature” compared to the heat of the rest of the week.

Two volumes of poetry that are over 150 years old are among the newest ac-quisitions at the Berlin His-torical Society. On Sept. 6, Nancy Beilman donated “The Poetical Works of
James Gates Percival,” a two-volume collection pub-lished in 1859. The books are in excellent condition and were donated in memory of Beilman’s mother-in-law, Hildur “Buddy” Beilman.
“This is really a prize and a treasure for us,” said Nancy Moran, a historical
society board member.The publication date,
listed in the roman numerals MDCCCLIX on the gilded pages, stands alone: This likely indicates the volumes are an original first edition, as subsequent editions gen-

Kensington Fire Rescue has announced that work is underway to finish the Sept. 11 memorial on Farm-ington Ave. in front of the firehouse in time for a ded-ication ceremony on Sept, 11 2015.
Plans are underway with a design of the memorial that commemorates the Twin Towers, The Penta-gon, and Shanksville, PA, where United Airlines Flight 93 crashed while passengers tried to gain control of the plane. Part of
the memorial planned will feature a pentagon-shaped area as well as red, white, and blue plantings, Chief Mark Lewandowski said.
Thousands of civilians perished in the Sept. 11 at-tacks, as well as 343 New York firefighters.
“We need to remember those that lost their lives and their families,” Le-wandowski said.

Mayor Rachel Rochette encourages citizens to at-tend an informational session about the police department replacement project Sept. 16 at 6 p.m. Rochette made the statement at the Sept. 2 Town Council meeting, when the council unanimously ap-proved scheduling the ref-erendum on the project for Election Day this November.
“Public awareness of the current state of our police force and their facility is a top priority as we head to-wards the November 5th
referendum,” Rochette said by email. “I encourage any-one who may have concerns in this regards to attend the September 16th information session at 6:00 in town hall and to take a tour of the cur-rent facility. You will have the ability to ask questions and see first hand the condi-tions in which those charged with protecting the people of Berlin in the 21st century must work ... We are now at the point where it is up to our citizens to decide. My hope is that their decision is based on factual information rather

The East Berlin Fire De-partment held its annual bar-beque Sept. 6, with a great turnout, according to fire-fighter Richard Valuk, who was in charge of the event.
“Once a year, the commu-nity (of East Berlin) comes together,” Valuk said.
“The weather was going to kill us, but it held off,” Valuk added.
Valuk said that fundrais-ers like this event help the fire department maintain its
buildings, including a recent $60,000 roof renovation. A lot of people think the town takes care of the buildings, Valuk said.
Valuk said he wanted to thank all those who attended, both firefighters, and “those that came to support us.”

This fall, for the second year in a row, a Berlin High
School student will be part of the All-National Honor Choir in Nashville, as local Kirsten Petry has been accepted.
According to Berlin High School music teacher Kath-ryn Crabb Scherer, this pres-tigious choir is formed of 300 of the top chorus students in the nation.
“It feels really great. It’s surreal,” Petry said. The teenager said she was hope-ful during auditions, and is thrilled to hear of her acceptance.
Petry said she practices her singing every day, and also plays piano and guitar. She sings the national anthem at some local baseball and bas-ketball games. In addition to her musical talents, she is a member of the BHS varsity cheerleading team.
“I’ve been singing since I was three years old…I love to sing,” Petry said.

Another summer of reading wraps upThis summer we had 644
children sign up for our Fizz, Boom, Read and Rub-ber Ducky Club summer reading programs – double that of last year! We collab-orated with the Berlin Pub-
lic School System and asked that the children participat-ing in the Fizz, Boom, Read program read (or be read to) for at least 30 minutes a day throughout the summer. For the Rubber Ducky Club, caregivers were asked to complete early literacy ac-
tivities with their children. We had weekly drawings for fun prizes, as well as grand prize drawings that included gift cards to Amazon as well as local businesses. Every child who read for at least 30 minutes a day for 40 days earned a free book donated by the Friends of the Ber-lin-Peck Memorial Library. Rubber Ducky Club partic-ipants who completed their
activity log earned a rubber ducky!
Sixty-six teens signed up for Spark a Reaction (our summer reading program for students in grades 6 and up) and collectively wrote over 100 book reviews.
They received a coupon for Praline’s Ice Cream just for signing up.
Drawings for prize packs were held weekly, and the grand prize included a $50 Visa gift card, as well as gift cards to iTunes and local
businesses.We had a blast this sum-
mer, and we hope that ev-eryone who participated did, too. We’re so proud of everyone!
The summer reading pro-grams were made possible by the generous support of the Friends of the Ber-lin-Peck Memorial Library. Special thanks go out to the following businesses for do-nating incentives: Praline’s Ice Cream, McDonald’s, Put-ter’s Paradise Mini-Golf, Sa-fari Golf and Pine Loft Pizza.
Jennifer Needham is head of Children and Teen’s ser-vices at the Berlin-Peck Me-morial Library and was in charge of the summer read-ing program this year.

than the innuendo and misin-formation that unfortunately is being communicated.”
The council also heard a report regarding the status of the Berlin High School ren-ovation project, approved a fee waiver for an upcom-ing Economic Development Commission event and ta-bled a partial refund for a golf course season pass that a resi-dent was unable to use due to an injury.
Deputy Mayor William Rasmussen, an Independent who ran on the Democratic
ticket, criticized council Re-publicans for voting no on the ordinance, saying their votes placed the referendum in jeopardy. Rochette added that Councilor David Evans (R) voted with the council when it unanimously approved the purchase of the old Kensing-ton furniture site for the new police station, and asked that he explain why his position has changed.
Evans said there were two reasons he voted no on the police station project: first was the increase in cost (the original estimate, before a site was selected, was $13.8
million) and the “process by which the estimate was estab-lished.” Evans argued that al-ternative solutions to police space needs were not ade-quately pursued. “At the time it did look like a place where it would make sense,” Evans
said, adding that now the council would await an opin-ion from the public through the referendum.
Councilor Charles Pao-nessa (R) said he objected to the council waiving Rule 7, which does not allow a vote on an issue to immedi-ately follow the public hear-ing on that topic. The council waived Rule 7, 4-3 along party lines, in order to ensure the referendum would be held on election day after coun-cil Republicans pushed back the original date of the pub-lic hearing. Republicans held a rare majority due to the ab-sence of two council Dem-ocrats at a meeting in July when the public hearing was initially rescheduled.
Republicans said at the time they were concerned that summer was an inappro-priate time for a public hear-ing on such an important topic, as many people would be on vacation. Democrats re-scheduled the hearing a sec-ond time at a special meeting, but due to time constraints, it was necessary to waive Rule 7 and immediately vote follow-ing the hearing in order for the ordinance to go to refer-endum on Election Day.
According to information posted on the town website, the increase in costs is due to a wide variety of factors, the largest of which is inflation, at an estimated cost of about $3.2 million. The new design for the police station also has an increase in square footage, representing about $400,000 for a storage building and $1.8 million for the Police Department.

Caching out: Seven towns downOn Aug. 30 I completed
my quest to snag a geocache in every one of the seven towns served by the Re-cord-Journal weeklies – a graveyard cache in Ber-lin, tramp-ing through poison ivy in North Ha-ven, a matchstick hanging from a tree in Plainville, an ammo can behind Water Control in Southington, a cleverly named “Park and Find” at the Park and Ride
in Cheshire, and a magnetic nano on a bench in Durham. I’ve captured 21 caches since I began little more than a month ago. I saved Middlefield for last.
The Town Times is the oddball of the weeklies. The Times has our smallest cir-culation, but the most active Facebook page, and is our only paper not named The Something Citizen. It’s also our only weekly paper serv-ing two towns, Middlefield and Durham, and it’s the first Record-Journal publi-cation I ever laid my hands on. I moved to the Rockfall area of Middlefield from Kentucky at age 10.
So to officially capture a geocache in each and every town, I knew ex-actly where I wanted to go to complete my mission: Wadsworth Falls State Park, within walking distance of the house I grew up in. It’s a truly great park to hike in, with a tame, level main trail and a few more chal-lenging paths as well. The park boasts not one, but two waterfalls, the short but im-pressively voluminous Big Falls and the impressively tall Little Falls, a trickle by
comparison. Even better is that both
waterfalls change signifi-cantly throughout the sea-sons, a reward frequent returners. Melting snows give the most impressive sprays of water at both falls in spring. The water re-treats significantly during summer, and depending on rainfall, the river beyond Big Falls may be covered in algae. Other times, water levels become so low that you can walk out into the middle of the river on the rocks and reach grassy is-lands. Some winters, enor-mous gleaming icicles form beside the waterfalls, and river water past Big Falls churns underneath a sheet of ice.
“It’s beautiful,” Kate said the first time I brought her to the area, the winter of 2012.
When we went trea-sure-hunting in the park, the biggest complication we ran into was the large amount of “muggle activity,” as Geocachers call it when there are people around. It’s important not to been seen

Caching
finding a cache, because someone may mistake it for trash and attempt to throw it away, or otherwise inter-fere with it.
We completely aban-doned searching for a cache near Little Falls, as a huge group of people were sitting in the area talking. We did, however, find two more, including one with perhaps the greatest terrain chal-lenge we’ve ever sought after, requiring a hike up a steep incline.
“I clung as close to the hill as I could,” my Indi-ana-native fiancée, Kate said, recalling her nervous-ness about the steep descent toward the river below. She comes from a land where the only ways to go up in el-evation are stairs, elevators, escalators, airplanes, and the odd ladder.
“But in retrospect? If you were going to do it again?” I asked.
“Oh, sure,” Kate said sar-castically, “We didn’t die last time, so we probably won’t die next time.”
My fiancée is not a thrill-seeker.
Another cache brought us past one of the most inter-esting features of the park: the old stone walls that lay overgrown between some of the trees. The walls give the forest the air of an an-
cient civilization. Unlike the famous stone bridge that was built during the Great Depression, story has it that the walls have stood since before the area was refor-ested. Or at least, these are the thoughts I had while hiking on my own through the woods as a kid.
And now that I’ve seized a cache in all seven Re-cord-Journal weekly towns, there’s only one thing left to do: hide one of my own.
Game on, newspaper fans.

I am a 70+ year female who has been living on my own for years since my husband passed away. I had a full life filled with friends and fun until… I ended up in the hospital and have no memory of how I got there. I developed a life threatening wound. Two surger-ies later my doctors told me I would need to go somewhere for my recovery and rehabilitation. I needed special equipment which limited my choices but Andrew House Healthcare was there to of-fer their help. The rehab team was incredibly encouraging . The nursing staff is dedicated in their commitment to their patients’ well being. They always had a few extra minutes to stop by and engage me in conversations about things other then my situation. Andrew House is easy to connect with and truly wants you to succeed. I will recommend Andrew House to all.

A look at the Redcoat teams for fall ’14
For those who plan on sup-porting their Berlin Redcoats this fall, here is a brief over-view of what each team will look like this coming season.
FootballHead Coach: John Capod-
ice (11th year, 87-27).Assistant Coaches: John
Paul Demko, Rob Levesque, Joe Aresimowicz, Mike Men-doza, Mark McLeod, Don Del-laquila, Ryan DeGroff, Rick DeGroff, and Bob Mayette.
Last year: After four straight years of 10 or more wins, including a state cham-pionship and two league championships, the Redcoats struggled to their first losing season (5-6) in over 10 years.
Key losses: Quarterback Mitch Williams, linemen Dante Vasi, Anthony Duong, and two-way stalwarts Dan McLeod, Jake Eliadas, and Nate Campbell
This season: Senior An-thony Sisti is the team’s top returning offensive threat, coming off a season that saw him produce over 750 yards. Fellow seniors Alec Nor-ton and Eric Garcia will be expected to step up and fill some of the large holes on of-fense left behind by Williams & Co. On the defensive side, the Redcoats will look to se-niors Jack Strafstrom and Jer-emy Eliades, as well as junior Jake Loiselle.
Outlook: The Redcoats have produced plenty of tal-ented players on both sides of the ball in the past few seasons, but they’ve also –unfortunately –graduated those players, as well. Re-placing Williams’ arm (over 1700 passing yards last year) may be too much to ask for a young squad, yet the run game should improve off of the 1400-plus yards they pro-duced last season. It could be another trying season for the gridiron gang, but six or seven wins aren’t out of the question.
Boys soccerHead Coach: Sal Parafati
(first year).Assistant: Dominic Costa.Last year: For the Red-
coats, 2013 looked a lot like 2012. And 2011.The boys made it to the Class L state quarter-finals before getting bounced from contention, ending their 2013 campaign with a loss to Joel Barlow, 3-0, to finish the year 16-4-1.
Key losses: 14 seniors – including All-State selec-tions Alex Bednarek and Matt Heimlich – graduated. Storied head coach Dave Francalan-gia also left the program.
This season: Only two starters from last year’s squad return: senior midfielder/defense combos Evan Hale and Nick Vreeland. Also, se-nior midfielders Kevin Bon-insegna and Brandon Rocco will step into starting roles to help fill some of the gaps left by the large graduating class. “We will have a strong defense and midfield,” new coach Sal Parafati said.
Outlook: While a repeat of 16 wins and a trip to the state quarterfinals may be out of reach, a return trip to the postseason is not. The Red-coats will look to incorpo-rate a handful of last season’s undefeated McGee Spartans team to help fill the gaps. Parafati will also do a fine job taking over as the head coach; a longtime Redcoat assistant, Parafati knows the system and his returners, making the transition a seamless one.
Girls soccerHead Coach: Steve Yanosy
(13th year, 152-46-15).Assistant: Katie Amenta.Last year: The girls posted
a regular season record of 10-5-1, making it to the second round of the Class M state tournament before bowing out to Haddam-Killingworth 3-2.
Key losses: Sammy Car-bonell, Kelly Cohen, Rachel Chapman, and Kelly Rohan.
This season: Another small senior class, led by Sarah Bosco and Erin Good-win, means that there is plenty of turnover from last season. Junior Michaela Dehm will continue her role as the team’s goaltender. Joining Dehm from an ev-er-improving 2016 class are Taylor Budney, Kim Tencza, and Stephanie Trevathan, all of whom will play vital roles this year.
Outlook: 2014 proved to be a stronger senior class for the team than many would expect from just four se-niors. With that in mind, the number of returning players should help the girls to re-main rather successful on the pitch. A return to the play-offs seems imminent, and the team will make it a race for the CCC South title. The fact that Dehm is only a junior is a very troublesome thing for Berlin’s opponents. She was outstanding last year, and a strong 2014 campaign would surprise no one.
Girls swimming and diving
Head coach: Andy Ahl-berg (first year).
A s s i s t a n t : A m a n d a Shroder.
D iv i n g c o a c h : Ja n Zagorski.
Last year: The girls fin-ished strong, taking home seventh in the Class S finals with 263.5 points. Berlin fin-ished tied for 40th with 17 points in the State Open meet.
Key losses: Lauren Bar-etta, Sobilo Deana, Olivia Kadja, and Natasha Nixon.
This season: Senior Kelsey Kozikowski (sprints, butterfly) and junior Olivia DeGroff (sprints) will serve as the team’s top two scor-ers, as they will both look to build off of strong 2013 sea-sons. Also making their pres-ence felt will be senior Arian Silas and sophomore Stepha-nie Humen, who both made it to states last year.
Outlook: Although it’s a new year, it’s a very famil-
iar scenario for the team; they have another new first-year head coach. While Ahl-berg isn’t as familiar with his squad as his predecessor, his intuition should help to max-imize the Lady Redcoats’ talent and help keep them extremely competitive during the regular season and Class S finals. This varsity group should also easily improve on their State Open finish, where a top 30 finish seems logical.
VolleyballHead coach: Bob Tarigo
(32nd year, 427-191).Assistants: Nancy De-
Blasio (junior varsity), Jeff Tarigo (freshmen).
Last year: The girls’ sea-son ended shorter than an-ticipated, as they finished 7-11, one win short of qualifying for the postseason.
Key losses: Olivia Del-laquila, Alicia Maule, Tess Re-paci, and Amanda Patterson.
This season: Plenty of fire-power returns for the Lady Redcoats, including senior

Redcoats
standouts Abbie Underwood and Alyssa Germano. Fellow seniors Lauren Trzasko and Brooke Barney should pro-vide plenty of kills as outside hitters while Nidhi Patel and Allison Walsh, also seniors, will provide great defensive help on the back line. Junior Julia Lagace will also hear her number called plenty of times this season as both a setter and an outside hitter.
Outlook: The now-se-nior class got plenty of ex-perience last season, which should make them ready for any on-court situation they may come across. A strong up-and-coming junior class should help lead the Lady Redcoats back to the postsea-son, as well as a record north of .500.
Cross countryHead coach: Steve Soucy
(sixth year).Assistant: Bob Casey.Last year: Both Redcoat
teams fared well in the regu-lar season, but the girls stood tall during the postseason. The Lady Redcoats finished third out of 19 teams in the
Class M state meet. Mean-while, the boys finished 12th out of 26 teams in Class MM.
Key losses: Brittany Sul-livan and Nicole Grieco for the girls; James Dwyer for the boys
This season: Seniors Kris-ten Madeia and Taylor Lupini will lead a deep Lady Redcoat team, with junior Michelle Grieco and sophomore Lisa Grieco also are expected to shine.
The boys will be led by seniors Sam Papacoda and Adam Litwinko, and junior Connor Ladd.
Outlook: Losing Sullivan and Grieco won’t be the eas-iest losses to overcome, but another strong season is to be expected.
The youngest Grieco, Lisa, showed fantastic growth over the spring outdoor sea-son while Lupini should con-tinue her strong running per usual. While a top five finish at states may be out of the question, finishing in the top 10 is not.
As for the Lady ‘Coats counterparts, the Berlin boys’ finishing in the top 10 at states is well within reach.

Councilor Margaret Mo-relli (D) said for the past seven years, the police sta-tion project has been a bipar-tisan issue, coming from the Police Commission and the Public Building Commission. Morelli said she did not want the police station project to become partisan.
Earlier in the meeting Po-lice Chief Paul Fitzgerald spoke during public comment expressing concern over mis-information regarding the po-lice department. Fitzgerald said “I will not limit the tools that are available to my offi-cers,” including bullet-proof vests, body armor, rifles, and ballistic helmets.
Fitzgerald said active shooter situations happen in small towns and that Berlin must have a police depart-ment that is prepared in the event of a tragedy. The police chief added that Newington, Newtown, and Manchester are also small towns that have experienced active shooter incidents.
Fitzgerald said the Berlin Police Department is a “full service” police department and that police officers are also medical first responders trained in the use of AED de-vices and responsible for re-sponding to incidents such as heart attacks, strokes, drowning, and motor vehicle crashes.
For more information on the proposed design of the police station, visit the town website.

erally contain multiple pub-lication dates, according to Moran, who assisted with the donation process.
Percival Avenue, Percival Pool, the old Percival school (which is now the senior cen-ter) and Percival Field are all named for James Gates Per-cival, a Berlin native who was described as an “eccentric genius” by a newspaper clip-ping donated with the books. Percival was a noteworthy doctor, scientist, poet, and linguist who assisted Noah Webster with editing the American Dictionary of the English Language, published in 1828.
Beilman, a Newington res-ident, said the books have been in her possession for around 25 years, after receiv-ing them from Hildur Beil-
man, and that they have been in the possession of the Beil-man family for as long as any-one can remember.
When the family lived in Berlin, they owned prop-erty that later became part of the Berlin Turnpike and a local hotel, Beilman said. Beilman said Hildur Beil-man was a member of the local congregational church, the garden club, and that she and her husband were “great card players.” Hildur Beil-man loved the Berlin Fair and often won awards for her plants, Beilman said.
Moran said the historical society does acquire some artifacts independently, but that most of their collection comes from donated items given by citizens wanting to share them with future generations.

including two straight steel beams and a twisted steel beam that will be used in the memorial. The straight steel beams will represent the tow-ers, and the twisted beam, the horror of the tragedies.
The fire chief submitted a request to the 9/11 Family As-sociation, which grants arti-facts to community projects around the world. As The Cit-izen reported, larger remains of the towers were being housed at JFK airport, where Lewandowski was invited in response to the request.
The fire chief said the plan
is to complete plantings by early spring and to have the artifacts in place before winter.
Lewandowski said the me-morial “will serve as a place to both memorialize those that were lost that day and the departments’ members – past, present and future.”
Lewandowski thanked all those who assisted in making the project a reality, includ-ing IIPC, Manafort Brothers, AES Designs and the Berlin fire departments, citizens and friends of the depart-ment that have made memo-rial donations.
