Berlin’s 7th Annual Relay for Life met its financial goal, pulling in over $92,500, ac-cording to Lynn Kipphut, Re-lay for Life specialist for the American Cancer Society.

“We’re very excited for our teams that helped us reach our goal,” Kipphut said.

Thirty-four teams partici-pated in the relay, held Sat-

urday, May 17 at the Berlin Fairgrounds.

“Relay for Life is an over-

night event where commu-nities come together in the fight against cancer,” said Kipphut, who explained that every Relay for Life team has at least one member walk-ing the track for the entire 24 hour duration of the re-lay. “Because cancer never sleeps.”

The Board of Education honored three teachers and six students at its May 12 meeting.

The board also voted to approve cuts of $32,500 each to the capital and site building accounts during the meeting. This will be the first of many cuts after the budget was reduced by a total of $581,000 from the initial request, with $125,000 in cuts coming after the referendum, in which 53.2 percent voted “no” on the budget.

The budget must be fi-nalized before the new fiscal year begins in July. The board will vote on additional cuts at a future meeting.

Board President Gary Brochu presented a Berlin Bravo award to educators Cathy D’Amato from Hub-bard school, Kristine Jutras from Griswold school, and Maura Sullivan from Wil-lard school.

The BOE honored the three teachers for their work in reading recovery interventions with local

first grade students, help-ing to ensure that kids learned to read. D’Amato, Jutras and Sullivan put in more than 150 hours of their own time into par-ticipating in coursework during the summer and on Tuesday nights to learn reading recovery skills.

The board also recog-nized retiring staff. Pamela Hamad, assistant principal at McGee Middle School, will be accepting a position as principal of Canton Mid-dle School.

Mary Sulla, math teacher at Willard, will be the new assistant principal at Nau-buc Elementary School in Glastonbury. Sulla will “make a great mark in Glastonbury,” Superinten-dent David Erwin said.

Board member Timothy Oakes presented awards to Griswold students Victoria Pietrucha and Jack Salerno. Principal Laurie Gjerpen said fifth grader Victoria was being recognized for winning the D.A.R.E. essay contest, doing “an excep-tional job,” Gjerpen said.

The Nutmeg State Games, which were approved for a fee waiver by the Town Council May 6, are com-ing to Berlin. The town will host softball, baseball, and lacrosse games at Sage Park July 12 to July 27.

“It’s a very big deal [to receive the fee waiver],” Patrick Fisher, executive director of the Nutmeg State Games, said May 16. The Games are a 501(c) non-profit organization dedicated to “camaraderie between different ages, so-cioeconomic and cultural groups through athletic

competition and the Olym-pic spirit,” according to the Nutmeg Games website.

Mayor Rachel Rochette, who reviewed the fee waiver policy with Town Manager Denise McNair, said that, in this case, ap-proving the waiver is dif-ferent, because all expenses to the town associated with the competitions are reim-bursed. These costs come from entry fees paid by competitors.

Furthermore, the Games “benefit Berlin,” Rochette said.

“All the traffic coming in from outside of Berlin will be beneficial to the town and to local businesses,”

Deputy Mayor William Rasmussen said. “It’s a great opportunity to show-case Berlin and what we have to offer.”

According to Fisher, the Nutmeg Games will reim-burse the town for lights, supplies, and overtime costs associated with the events. Fisher cited a 2009 study, which showed the overall economic impact of the Games was $1.2 million on the town of Danbury, which hosted that year.

“Many of our athletes travel from states away and stay in local hotels,” Fisher said, adding that they also patronize restaurants and other businesses.

A win-win for Berlin, Nutmeg GamesBy Charles KreutzkampThe Berlin Citizen

The annual Berlin UpBeat picnic is coming, Thursday May 29, 5 to 8 p.m. The picnic draws thousands of people ev-ery year.

This is the second year the picnic will be held at the Ber-lin fairgrounds, thanks to the cooperation of the Lions Club.

The 2014 picnic will feature raffles, musical performances, games, and activities for folks

of all ages. “We’re partnering with a va-

riety of local businesses,” Up-Beat Director Alice Mitchell said. “Last year we had an ex-cellent turnout in spite of 102 degree weather. We’re hoping to have an even better turnout this year and we’re expect-ing more pleasant weather,” Mitchell added.

Ronald McDonald will ap-pear at 6 p.m., and choruses from local elementary schools will perform at 7 p.m.

The picnic will also host various charitable organiza-tions and causes, including Energize Connecticut, which will be available to schedule low-cost energy audits. The National Guard will be attend-ing to organize activities, and cheerleaders will be leading “a little area for kiddie games,” Mitchell said.

“And of course we’ll be hav-ing our free hot dogs and soda, and free popcorn,” Mitchell added.

The Town Council was to hear from the Public Build-ing Commission at its May 20 meeting, which occurred after press time.

Topics for discussion and possible action included ap-proving a waiver of the sealed bid process for the removal

of underground oil tanks at Hubbard and Willard schools “as time is of the essence,” ac-cording to the agenda item.

The Town Council was to also discuss utilizing a Con-necticut State Department of Administrative Services con-tract to award the installation

A nearby OASIS for local veterans

Responding to the over-whelming need for ther-apeutic help for veterans returning from Iraq and Af-ghanistan, several members of the General Federation of Women’s Clubs took it upon themselves to work on im-

proving the transition for soldiers returning from war by establishing the OASIS at Tunxis Community College in Farmington, at the junction of Routes 6 and 177.

OASIS stands for Opera-tion Academic Support for Incoming Service members and the program provides a place for Tunxis student vet-

erans to meet, study and so-cialize. There are study and conversation areas as well as computers and internet access.

“We started back in 2009,” TCC Veterans Advisor Da-vid Welch pointed out. Lu-cille Shearer, who founded OASIS, added that when the group first formed, 57 veter-ans participated. The number now stands at 250.

Welch, Shearer and former GFWC President Grace Lind-say said they enjoy the work they do with veterans. The General Federated Womens’ Clubs of Bristol, Farmington Valley and Plainville raised funds for equipment and fur-nishings for the OASIS.

The facility was expanded in 2012 in a renovation that tripled the size of the pro-gram area when two new so-cial rooms were added to an existing study and computer area. Located in Founders

Top: Ridin’ Redcoat Austin Lawrence cruises around a bend at the Root 66 race. Below: The Ridin’ Redcoats with coaches Jim Arnold (far left) and Scot Peaslee (far right).| Submitted / Theonne Lawrence

The Berlin High School Ridin’ Redcoats had a solid performance at the Root 66 Northeast XC Series mountain bike race at Hop Brook Dam in Middlebury, CT. The riders from Berlin joined approximately 270 racers from throughout the northeast to kick off the 2014 racing season.

The winding eight-mile single and double track course was mostly dry and rocky with sec-tions of deep mud and water scattered through-out to keep racing conditions challenging and fun. Hop Brook features it share of ups and downs with plenty of tight turns, so riders need to navigate the cleanest lines to stay competitive.

BHS senior Austin Lawrence led his team, earning a second place medal. Sergi Tomasitis and Morgan Hamilton also rode well for the Red-coats. Teammate Ahmad Hassan experienced mechanical issues early in the race and had to withdraw.

Also wearing a BHS jersey that day was hon-orary team member Alec Arnold, who finished with an impressive time and landed in the top 10 in the Cat 3 division.

The BHS mountain bike team is coached by Jim Arnold and Scot Peaslee.

Julia G. Ashekian KENSINGTON — Ju-lia G. Ashekian, 79, of Kensington, passed away

p e a c e f u l -ly at home on Thurs-day, May 15, 2014, sur-rounded by her family. She was the wife of Clem-

ent Ashekian. Born in New Britain, she was the daughter of the late Ohannes and Satenig (Krikorian) Garabedian. She was a former New Brit-ain resident before moving to Berlin in 1960. Julia de-voted much of her life to her church and to the Ar-menian people, with spe-cial attention given to the children of Armenia. At St. George Armenian Church in Hartford, she served as organist for 55 years, and also as the Chairman of the Woman’s Guild. She would then go on to represent the Woman’s Guild nationally, as a member of the Guild’s Central Council, Represen-tative of the Ecclesiastic Council of the Armenian for the election of head of all Armenians, member of the National Council of Churches, and was award-ed The St. Nerses Metal for persons who excels with aid to the Armenian people and church. The Armenia earthquake of 1988 left in its wake, thousands of Armenian orphans. Julia, along with her husband Clem, established CASP….Children of Armenia Spon-sorship program. With the help of individual dona-tions, CASP aided seven orphanages in Armenia which went on to care for several thousand children. Julia quickly realized that once leaving the orphan-

ages, these, now, young adults, would be at risk in the world. So, following in the success of the CASP program, Julia then went on to be co-founder of Mer Doon…. Our Home. Mer Doon serves as a home for young adults who have outgrown the orphanages. There, in a family setting, they receive caring and an education so that they may lead productive, success-ful lives. Mer Doon contin-ues to thrive and show tre-mendous growth with each passing year. For her work, and for positively changing the lives of many thousands of Armenian children, Julia was chosen in 2001 by the Armenian Diocese as the Armenian Church Mem-ber of the Year, and was also honored with the Haig Garabed Sarafian Award by the Armenian Students Association of America, in 2004. Surviving are her hus-band, Clement “Clem” Ashekian; a son, Stephen J. Ashekian and his wife, Noël; a daughter, Caryn LaPointe and her husband, Michael; a brother, Haige Garabedian; a sister, Ha-yastan Garoyan; and three grandchildren, Nicole, Al-exander, and Andrew. Funeral services were held on Tuesday, May 20, at St. George Armenian Church. Burial took place in Fairview Cemetery, New Britain. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to St. George Armenian Church, 22 White St., Hart-ford, CT 06114 or to Our Home – Mer Doon Inc., 84 Ellsworth Boulevard, Berlin, CT 06037. Erickson-Han-sen Funeral Home is in charge of arrangements. Please share a memory of Julia with the family in the on line guest book @www.ericksonhansen.com.

Letters to the Editor

Government Meetings

A beautiful event

To the editor:On behalf of the Friends

of Berlin-Peck Memorial Li-brary, I am writing to thank all those who participated in the recent Friends/Petit 4 O’Clock fund-raiser and membership drive.

This was the first time we sold these annual plants and we were thrilled with the sup-port for two great causes. We had over 25 new memberships to the Friends and we raised over $1,300 to support the wonderful programs offered by the library for its patrons. In addition, the Petit Founda-tion received checks totaling $1,250 from us. The town gra-

ciously planted the remaining 4 O’Clocks throughout Berlin, so keep your eyes open for them around 4 p.m.

Don’t forget to stop by the library this summer and join a summer reading program. Whether you are young or old, there is a summer pro-gram for you with lots of fun and prizes in store.

So grab a tall lemonade or iced tea, open a good book and watch the gardens bloom this summer!

Thank you again!Anne Reilly, chairpersonFriends of Berlin Peck

Memorial Library Board Member

Town is on solid financial footingAs the budget chair of

the Berlin Town Council, I would like to thank every-one who attended the April 13 public hearing on the budget and everyone who voted at the budget refer-endum on April 29. As you know, the proposed budget was defeated at referendum and as a result, the council made substantial reductions and adopted a final bud-get for fiscal year 2014-15 in the amount of $78,379,809; setting the mill rate at 28.92 mills. This is a .15 mill rate increase over last year. For a house assessed at $200,000 this will be a $30 increase in property tax. We do not take any increase lightly and I would like to take this op-portunity to provide a sum-mary of the work that was done to arrive at this final budget figure and mill rate.

Budget meetings began in early March. All members of the Town Council were given an opportunity to present their recommenda-tions for reducing the bud-get presented by the Town Manager and the Board of Education and all members of the council participated actively in these discussions. From the outset of budget proceedings, the Democratic members of Town Coun-cil focused on improving

infrastruc-ture, invest-ing in capital needs, main-taining essential ser-vices, provid-ing for the education of our children and enhanc-

ing the quality of life for all citizens of Berlin.

The budget meetings con-cluded on March 13 and, at this point, the Democratic members of the Town Coun-cil made a motion to present a budget of $78,759,162. This included $221,491 in budget reductions from the budget presented by the Town Man-ager and what was originally requested by the Board of Education. The motion was adopted and the proposed budget was sent to a public hearing.

The public hearing on the budget took place April 8, and many members of the community attended and offered their opinion on the budget. The majority of those who presented an opinion spoke in favor of the proposed budget and against further cuts. As a result of the positive response at the hearing, the Democratic ma-jority on the Town Council voted at the April 10 meeting to send the proposed budget to referendum without fur-

ther modifications. On April 29, the proposed

budget was defeated at ref-erendum by a vote of 817 to 720 and as a result, we believed that further cuts needed to be made. The Town Council met on May 6 to adopt the 2014-2015 budget and set the mill rate. In response to the budget defeat at referendum, the Democratic members of the council voted to reduce the budget by an additional $190,000 from the town de-partments and an additional $190,000 from the Board of Education for a total addi-tional reduction of $380,000. Every effort was made to not cut into essential services. While very lean, this final budget will still provide for the education of our children, will enable us to improve infrastructure and invest in our capital needs, and will not detract from the quality of life for our com-munity. We did, however, need to make several cuts that will affect non-essential services such as a reduction to the library budget, a delay in the plan to begin saving for the required refurbishing of Scalise field, and a hold on two additional construc-tion projects.

The citizens of Berlin should know that our town is in a very sound financial position. Our bond rating is

exceptional, our grand list is growing, our long range planning for infrastructure maintenance such as roads and buildings is in place, our pension obligations are reducing, and our school system ratings remain high. The community of Berlin re-mains a place where people want to live and raise their

families, and we are work-ing very hard to keep it that way. So thank you to every-one who participated in the budget process this year and we encourage you to stay engaged and involved in the ongoing work of our town government.

recognized for his overall hard work. “It’s so important to be a good member of our school,” Gjerpen said, “and he demonstrates this every sin-gle day.”

Julia Kielbowicz and Kevin Daley from Hubbard school were awarded a Berlin Bravo by BOE member Jef-frey Cugno for exceptional behavior in class. Hubbard Principal Al Souza said sec-ond grader Julia is a vora-cious reader and writer with character and integrity. Souza spoke of third grader Kevin’s strong work ethic, which has

a noticeable impact on oth-ers. He said Kevin is known to sometimes break into song over exciting topics in class.

Board member Irene Mat-ulis presented awards to Martina Burgio and Hunter DiMauro from Willard school. Principal Sal Urso said when the school looks for a new teacher, certain character traits are sought, and first grader Hunter exem-plifies these traits to the point that the school would hire him. Fifth grader Martina, “a mature learner,” according to Urso, was recognized for her hard work, risk-taking, and proactive attitude.

OASIS

Hall, the Tunxis Veterans’ OASIS is part of a larger ini-tiative started in 2008 by the Connecticut Department of Veterans’ Affairs to form vet OASIS Centers at all of Con-necticut’s public colleges and universities.

Lindsay’s son served in Iraq, Shearer had relatives that served, and Welch served during the Vietnam era.

“We try to provide a wel-coming atmosphere to vet-erans,” Welch said. “A place like this makes things easier for returning veterans.”

Shearer said that she has seen veterans develop strong bonds at OASIS over the years. Unfortunately, the group is not immune to tragedy.

“We are always growing,” Shearer said. “I have seen them communicate, some come to tears, and one com-mitted suicide last year.”

Oasis participant Nelson Algarin served as a lance cor-poral in the Marines for four years and spent seven months in southern Afghanistan, be-fore serving a second tour on standby in Libya. During his time overseas, he said he saw things that were disturbing, and that the transition home was very hard.

“The first months were dif-ficult,” Algarin said. “I got help from the Veterans Af-fairs, and OASIS has been like a home away from home for us. I love it.”

‘Us’ includes fellow veteran Perry King.

“It has been a tough tran-sition,” Army Specialist King said, speaking of returning home, “especially sometimes dealing with younger kids that don’t understand what we went through. It also both-ers me when people associate Muslims with the Taliban.”

King has been in the mili-tary for six years, and plans

to re-enlist.Despite the tough transi-

tion, King said OASIS has been “therapeutic,” and that it’s “nice to be able to talk to someone that won’t judge you.”

Algarin, who lost two friends during his service, is pushing forward with his life by studying psychiatry. He wants to focus on mental health for veterans. In addi-tion, he has written about his life experiences, and has been nominated for an award.

OASIS comes equipped with couches, computers, and a swear board. Yes, a swear board. Every time a person curses, it costs them a quarter.

As OASIS continues to grow and attract more vet-erans, Shearer feels it won’t be difficult to keep it open, as she pointed out that TCC be-came a 401c3 non profit last year, which enables OASIS to receive corporate donations.

Sports

Baseball

The Redcoats-near perfect season kept moving in the right direction last week, as a 3-0 week helped the boys improve to 14-1 on the year.

The boys began their week with a 3-0 victory over Bris-tol Central that saw the pitching staff allow only three hits throughout the contest. Senior captain Kyle Naples earned the victory on the mound.

The Redcoats continued their dominance with an im-pressive 9-4 win over rival Plainville. Naples was key to the team’s victory, going 3-for-3 at the dish with a dou-ble and RBI. Junior Jared Gal-lagher was able to keep the Blue Devil bats at bay for the victory.

In the team’s final matchup of the week, Berlin ran away with a 16-3 win over Bristol Eastern. After falling behind 3-2 after two innings, the Redcoat bats awoke in the bottom of the third, scoring 11 runs. Junior Alec Norton went 3-for-4 in the contest while senior Dave Condon pitched for the win.

Softball

After losing their bid for a perfect season a few weeks ago, the Lady Redcoats con-tinued to play well as they look to improve their seeding prior to the upcoming state tournament.

The girls began the week with a convincing 9-1 vic-tory over Bristol Central. Se-niors Megan Wickander and Amanda Patterson enjoyed great days at the plate, going 3-for-5 and 2-for-3, respec-tively, while junior Kelsie Anderson went 4-for-4 with a double. Senior Makayla Har-ris earned the victory on the mound.

In the team’s final game of

the week, the girls lost a close 2-1 decision against Bristol Eastern. Although the Lady Redcoats out-hit the Lancers 4-3, they couldn’t capitalize on the few chances they had. Harris took the loss. Berlin dropped to third in the CCC South, behind Bristol Eastern and Maloney.

Boys tennis

After an impressive 4-0 week, the Redcoats have offi-cially punched their ticket to the state tournament.

Throughout the week, the team played a marathon of matches against Platt (5-2), Newington (6-1), Bulkeley/Hartford Public (6-1), and Brookfield (4-3).

Senior captain Dan Rom-bola had another strong week, going 4-0, while fellow senior captain Mike Gurri-eri also had a great week, shutting out his opponent in the team’s final match of the week against Brookfield.

The week helped the team improve to 8-5 with only three matches remaining in the regular season, guaran-teeing the Redcoats at least a .500 record. A team must finish with a winning per-centage of .500 or better to qualify for states. The Redcoats will look to make plenty of noise this year in Class M, as Rombola looks to walk away victorious in the singles bracket after falling in last year’s final.

Girls tennis

The Lady Redcoats were eliminated from postseason contention this past week af-ter a 4-3 to Maloney sealed the team’s fate of a sub-.500 season.

The girls began the week with a dominating 7-0 shut-out of Platt before continuing the strong play with a 6-1 win over Bulkeley. Needing to win the rest of their matches, though, became too tall of a

task for the Lady Redcoats, losing the close contest against Maloney to end their week. The loss brought the team’s record to 4-9. Even if the girls won the remainder of their matches, that 7-9 re-cord would not qualify them for states.

Girls golf

The Lady Redcoats contin-ued their dominance on the links with a 3-0 week, bring-ing their season record to 10-1.

The girls began the week with a strong home win over Northwest Catholic, 188-248. Junior captains Ashley D’At-tilio and Julia Kemmling both scored 42s in the match to take home co-medalist honors.

The Lady Redcoats contin-ued their strong play with a 168-192 win over East Cath-olic. Kemmling shot an im-pressive 38 to walk away as the match medalist at Min-nechaug Golf Course in Glastonbury.

Berlin finished its week with a 168-218 cakewalk over visiting Newington. D’Attilio was the match medalist after shooting a 38 at Timberlin.

The 168 in consecutive matches tied for the team’s lowest composite score on the year.

Boys golf

The boys finished the week 2-2 to improve to 10-4 on the season as the end of the regular season quickly approaches.

Berlin began the week with a 162-177 win over Bristol Eastern at Chippanee. The Lancers’ Josh Unkrich was the match medalist.

The Redcoats dropped two close matches in a tri-match, falling to Wethersfield, 156-166, and Simsbury, 160-166. Will Delmastro of Wethers-

Cody Paladino has had a busy 2014.

In January, the Kensington native qualified for the PGA Latin American Tour and has been playing his way through Central and South America over the past few months.

April 18, Paladino quali-fied for the PGA Tour Can-ada in Orlando, Florida. Paladino shot a four-day total of 296 (+8) and fin-ished tied for 20th at the tournament.

Paladino’s first tourna-ment as part of the Canadian Tour will be the PC Finan-cial Open at Point Grey Golf Course in Vancouver, British Columbia, starting on May 26.

Paladino will be able to

compete on both the Ca-nadian and Latin Amer-ican Tours, as the Latin American Tour is cur-rently on an extended break for the

winter.Paladino had an impres-

sive first season on the Latin American Tour, as he shot par or better on more than 82 percent of holes.

The Baylor University alumnus dropped in 65 bird-ies and two eagles during his first five tournaments.

The Canadian Tour will be played through Sept. 14, while the Latin American Tour will continue its sec-ond half of the season on Sept. 22.

field shot an impressive 34 to be named medalist.

The boys wrapped up their week with an impressive 162-262 victory over Bulke-ley at Goodwin Park. Senior captain Brian Bostrom was named the medalist after shooting a 38 on the day.

Girls lacrosse

After battling back to .500 a few weeks ago, the Lady Redcoats moved above .500 for the first time since the season’s second week, us-ing a 2-1 stretch to improve to 7-6.

The girls began the week losing a difficult matchup against Joel Barlow, 14-4, at Sage Park, yet bounced back against Windsor (11-7) and Northwest Catholic (13-12).

The wins for the team this season have been exciting to say the least.

Every victory for the girls has come within five goals or less, a testament to the level of talent they’ve faced as well as the team’s mettle and determination to finish off opponents.

The girls’ two victories last week secured them a spot in the Class M state tourna-ment, and sealed a better re-cord than last season. The Redcoats finished their 2013 campaign 6-9-1.

Boys lacrosse

The Redcoats dominated their only contest last week, crushing Amistad 22-0 to im-prove to 8-4 on the year.

The victory marked the third win in a row for the team, after dropping two straight to Hall and North-west Catholic at the begin-ning of the month. The game also served as the team’s first shutout of the season. Berlin has won five of its eight vic-tories by 10 or more goals this season.

With only four games re-maining, the Redcoats will look to improve their Class M standings as the season winds down. The team’s eight wins more than quali-fies them for the postseason after falling short of the re-quired seven wins last year (6-10 in 2013).

Officer Jeffrey G. Casner made the ultimate sacri-fice for his hometown.

This week we will re-member, reflect and never forget the sacrifice that

Jeff made for the Town of Berlin.

Casner is the only mem-ber of the Berlin Police Department to die in the line of duty.

Casner was fatally in-jured by a drunk driver after only six months of service with the BPD in 1985.

In 2005, part of Route 71 was designated the “Offi-cer Jeffery G. Casner Me-morial Highway.”

Krzykowski led Berlin’s He-roes, a team formed of local police. Krzykowski is a sur-vivor of breast cancer, which she said was a “shocking di-agnosis at age 30.”

“It rocked my world but did not end my world,” Krzykowski said. “I knew it wasn’t going to stop me. The faces I see out here today are the reason I made it through … if you all out there can en-dure and thrive and make it through anything life puts at you, then so can I.”

Krzykowski and her K-9 partner Titan led the survi-vor’s lap at the relay, a cere-monial lap around the track where survivors and care-givers meet in the middle, then walk the rest of the lap together.

Cancer survivor Tom Carle walked from Southing-ton to participate in the re-lay. He said during the event that he planned on staying until the following morning, when he would walk home. Carle was diagnosed with lung cancer in 1998 and with colon cancer last year. “I think [the relay] is great … I just really want to give some-thing back,” he said.

“I think it’s an awesome event,” relay participant Cheryl Hoffmann said. She and her husband Rand Hoff-mann have attended Relay for Life for five years as part of the team Gail’s Gladiators, named in honor of her late mother, Gail Lentini.

“Relay for Life is an event about every type of cancer, and about all the ways can-cer affects people’s lives, whether as survivors, care-givers, or mourners,” Cheryl Hoffman said.

“It brings everyone to-gether for one cause, no matter what their diagnosis was,” Rand Hoffman said.

Eva’s Mom’s Army raised money for Relay for Life as well. More specifically, the team walked in support of Ceil Biscoglio, team mem-ber Lynn Addamo explained. Eva’s Mom’s Army has par-ticipated in other fund-rais-ers as well. “We came here to raise money for the Ameri-can Cancer Society,” Add-
