When it comes to vio-lent crimes involving agun, the town has close tonone on record. But in Au-gust 2012, Berlin police of-ficers launched an investi-gation in search of twomen who robbed a BurgerKing, on New BritainRoad, at gunpoint.

The fast food chain is lo-cated just inside the townline from New Britain. Noone was shot or hurt dur-ing the robbery, but a gunwas displayed. The sus-pects, who may have fledto New Britain, are still atlarge.

In an effort to combat vi-olent crimes in the centralregional area, Berlin policewill join New Britain,Plainville, Bristol, New-ington, Southington, Cen-tral Connecticut State Uni-versity and Hartford offi-cers, state corrections andprobation officials and aninspector from the chiefstate’s attorney’s Office aspart of the Greater NewBritain Shooting TaskForce.

Berlin land records will be made availablefor access on any computer, by any person,via a portal link on the town’s website. Dur-ing a meeting Oct. 16, council members votedfor the town to enter an agreement with CottSystems software.

The Town Clerk’s Office already uses CottSystems for indexing and scanning landrecords but before this new agreement,

records could only be retrieved on a publiccomputer in Town Hall by title searchers,real estate agents, attorneys and any mem-ber of the general public.

According to Town Clerk Kathryn Wall,since there is only one computer for publicviewing of the index and document images,this causes a holdup in the office when multi-ple people want to obtain land records at thesame time. When this happens, as it has in

Annual holiday assistance program helps families in needBy Monica SzakacsThe Berlin Citizen

Berlin Social Services andthe Berlin Clergy Associa-tion will host its annual holi-day assistance program forfamilies in need, in whichhouseholds are providedgroceries for Thanksgivingand Christmas dinners.

Douglas Truitt, assistantdirector of Community Ser-vices, said last year the holi-day assistance committeehelped 250 families. The pro-gram is designed to helpBerlin families who need ex-tra help buying all the itemsto cook a holiday meal.

Families eligible for pro-grams must have alreadyqualified for an establishedgovernment needs base pro-gram such as SNAP, reducedschool lunches or the stateenergy aid program.

Each household lookingfor holiday assistance mustfill out an application. Truittsaid as long as there areenough donations and re-sources from the communi-ty, the committee will con-tinue to add families to thelist.

“We need donations,” hesaid. “Usually we will getcash donations, which arethen turned into gift cardsfor local grocery storeswhere families can buy eggs,milk, turkeys, stuffing, pota-toes, vegetables or anythingthey will need for a holidaydinner.”

It is ideal if an organiza-tion, group or family volun-

teer to adopt a certain num-ber of households in needand put holiday baskets to-gether themselves consist-ing of non-perishable itemsor grocery store gift cards.

The committee will re-ceive the donated gifts andhand them out to families.Robert Fisher, Youth Ser-vices Advisory Board serv-ice consumer, will be takingin supplies and setting upbaskets for families. Thedistribution of gift basketswill be held on the Satur-days before Thanksgivingand Christmas, at the mu-nicipal garage complex.

“It’s a generous communi-ty and even though the num-bers of families we can helphave been increasing forquite some time now, some-times while we are in themiddle of it all we are notsure if it will happen,” Tru-itt said, adding that the com-munity meets the needs ofdonations every year.

The Berlin Lions Clubalso pitches in with holidayassistance by delivering hotmeals, which includesturkey, to elderly and dis-abled individuals who arenot able to cook a Thanks-giving meal.

Social Services and theClergy Association alsosponsor a Christmas shop-ping drive. Donors will get aname, an ID number and agift list that a family in needsupplies to the committee.The volunteer donor will dothe holiday shopping for thehousehold.

“We will match up thegifts to the corresponding

family by the ID number aweek before Christmas,”Truitt said, adding that it isthe donor’s decision of howmany items he or she willbuy on the gift list.

Anyone interested in do-nating or filling out an ap-plication for assistance cancontact Truitt at Communi-ty and Social Services, (860)828-7007.

East Berlin pool will receive long awaited repairsBy Monica SzakacsThe Berlin Citizen

The town will hire Con-necticut Custom Aquatics, ofNorth Haven, to repair a pub-lic pool in East Berlin. Thecompany submitted the low-est bid of $48,979 for all thenecessary work.

During a Town Councilmeeting Oct. 15, Superinten-dent of Grounds Art Volzsaid the DeMore, Dinda, Bit-tner Pool has been in “desper-ate” need of maintenance,which includes repairs to thegutters, pressure washingand acid etching of the entiresurface, hollow spot removaland application of scratchcoating to ensure proper ad-hesion of new plaster to thepool exterior.

There is a leak around thegutters, so CCA will drillabout six inches below thedrain to seal off the leak. An-other problematic area is thehollow spots under the plas-ter.

“The old race lanes —

made of tile and were therefrom when the pool use tohave a swim team — are un-der the existing plaster thatcreates hollow spots whereit’s weak and water can seepthrough these cracks and goto these hollow spots,” Volzsaid. “The contractors rec-ommend jackhammering allthe tile out, refill it with con-crete to bring it back to a lev-el and when they re-plasterthe whole pool, it would belike brand new.”

Volz contacted four poolrepair vendors, who he is fa-miliar with, to receive writ-

ten quotes for the specificscope of work that is re-quired. Contractors weregiven a tour of the groundsindividually by Volz and gavetheir proposal after evaluat-ing the needed work.

Instead of a formalprocess in going out forsealed bids, the four pool re-pair service providers wereinvited to an informal bid-ding by Volz. As for the char-ter, Town Manager DeniseMcNair, with council ap-proval, has the option towaive the requirement forsealed bids if she deems it in

the best interest of the town. Volz said his reasoning for

an informal bidding was dueto time.

If the repairs are not doneas soon as possible, the poolcould remain closed for thesummer season. Volz saidCCA recommended the re-pairs start now in the fall, be-cause there would not be

enough time in the spring tofinish the amount of workthat is required for the poolto be reopened at the start ofsummer. Going out to a for-mal bid requires a longer,time consuming process.

CCA) can wrap up most ofthe big work now, in thespring he would be just fin-ishing up the work so thepool will be able to open ontime,” Volz said.

RepairsContinued from page 7

Another reason Volz rec-ommends hiring CCA is be-cause the contractor workedon both municipal pools inthe past.

“He used to work as a sub-contractor for Brocks PoolEquipment before (whichhas worked on both pools inthe past), but he broke away

and went on his own,” hesaid. “So, he knows our poolsand has guided us well withthe work that he’s done. Ihave total confidence inwhat he’s going to do. Hisproposal was the best out ofthe four I saw and that’s whyI recommend us going withhim.”

the past, clerks allow the pub-lic to use a private work com-puter that can also index andscan documents from thedatabase.

This interrupts the clerkswork and also is a security is-sue, since the computer al-lows changes to the landrecords.

“This is a very exciting ad-dition to the Town Clerk’s Of-fice,” Wall said. “This propos-al will allow people to accessland records from the com-fort of their own homes or of-fices.”

Members of the public willhave to pay a subscription feeto Cott Systems and a copyfee of $1 per page request thatwill be deposited to the townclerk’s account. A dollar isthe normal fee already inplace to print documents atTown Hall.

Corporate counsel has re-viewed the agreement andthe portal link is ready to golive.

Thirty five towns in Con-necticut already use the soft-ware and Wall said “this isthe future coming to Berlin.”

According to Wall, the pub-lic portal access will generatemore revenue because of theaccessibility and people willno longer have to debate tak-

ing a trip to Town Hall to re-trieve records. She also hastalked to clerks from munici-palities who use the portaland received good reviews.

“The portal is user friend-ly,” she said. “I went online tosee how easy it is to get in andaccess documents, and it wasfairly simple.”

David Evans, council mem-ber, had concerns regardingthe security of the town’s pri-vate information, but Wall re-assured the in-house serveris “seamless” and cannot bealtered by the public.

Keep welfareTo the editor:This is in response to the

“End Welfare” letter fromDavid Milewski in lastweek’s Citizen.

Yes, there are familiesthat abuse the system andthere should be a better sys-tem of checks and balancefor weeding them out, but wecannot make a blanket state-ment to end welfare and un-employment, when there arein fact legitimate people us-ing the system to get back inthe game.

Being downsized after 10plus years with the samecompany, my husband’s re-cent job loss meant our oneincome was down to zeroand our health care wasgone.

We were once a family offive with a householdprovider who never haddowntime between jobs un-less he chose it, now we wererelying on unemploymentand Husky Health Care sothat the safety, health and

welfare of our three chil-dren, not 10, was protected.

Thankfully, my husbandis working again, we are offHusky and no longer collect-ing unemployment, but I amnot ashamed to say I amgrateful it was there for uswhen we needed it.

Be careful what you wishfor, for if you aren’t, youmay one day be faced with asimilar situation and not beable to get the help you need.

Welfare, unemploymentand holiday donations areways that all of society canhelp each other out, withoutthe haves feeling conde-scending and the have-notsfeeling shame and humilia-tion.

Until we live in a totallyegalitarian society that al-lows for a better distributionof wealth, welfare and un-employment are necessary,especially when someonewith a recent job loss needshelp from the very systemthey paid into for years.

Autumn is beautiful, butthe season can be deadly

Ancient practices ofsuperstition in modern times

By Paul ColellaSpecial to The Citizen

One of the delightful incon-gruities of this age of technologyand the scientific method is thatmost of us still harbor at least a fewsuperstitions. We laugh at ourselvesfor resorting to these beliefs, but itsplace in the human psyche cannotbe questioned — for many of thosestill in use originated in the dawn ofhistory.

Superstition undoubtedly func-tioned in the mind of primitive manin much the same way as it does inmodern man’s mind. When the out-come of a situation is in doubt, su-perstition serves as a balance — ithelps one to feel that he or she canmake the difference between suc-cess and failure. Most familiar su-perstitions have multiple origins,for each culture has added its ownmeaning to inherited practices; afew are suggested below.

We perform many actions com-pletely unaware of its superstitiousorigin. There is hardly an Americanalive who hasn’t knocked on wood toinsure continuing good luck. Thecustom comes to us from remote an-cestors who, alert to tress’ seasonalchanges, believed that they were thedwelling places of gods. If contactedproperly, those generally benigndeities would smile on one’s under-taking; another tap was a mark ofthanks.

People believe that if a dead per-son’s picture falls, he or she ishaunting the house. Otherwise, pol-tergeists are at work. There is moreto the clink of glasses than a friend-ly gesture — one must drive the evilspirits out of the alcohol. A groomcarries his bride over the thresholdlest she put her worst (left) foot for-ward; the ancient Romans thoughtthat would bring on bad luck. Manywedding superstitions, in fact, pre-vail in the United States to this day.The bridesmaids and ushers, asclose friends of the bride andgroom, add happiness and a sense ofcommunity to the occasion today,but an ancient Roman law required10 witnesses, dressed like the nup-tial couple to frighten and confusejealous and evil spirits.

Many other superstitions that weindulge in have to do with avoidingbad luck. The black cat, a witch infurry clothing, is the embodiment of

the Devil himself. Watch out! TheEgyptians believed life progressedup 12 steps to the 13th — the ever-lasting life (death). There were 13people present at the Last Supper,and indivisible 13 represents themysterious, the uncertain. In Bibli-cal times, Friday was doomsday. It issaid that Eve tempted Adam on Fri-day, and the flood started on that day.Jesus was crucified on Friday. So onFriday the 13th, one should be wary.

Don’t walk under a ladder, be-cause the space under it is consid-ered the Devil’s territory. If youbreak a mirror, you will have sevenyears of bad luck as believed by theancient Romans, who had a beliefthat life renewed itself on a seven-year schedule. Salt, once a valuablepreservative and a symbol of lastingfriendship, was not to be wasted. Ifyou spill it, throw a little over yourleft shoulder — the side on whichthe evil spirits dwell — as a bribe tothem.

A more positive approach to lifeis to court good luck. The rabbit is ofcourse associated with fertility,which in ancient times was equatedwith prosperity. The magic of a rab-bit’s foot can transfer abundance toa person. A home adorned with ahorseshoe will keep away evil spir-its and bring good luck to those wholive inside. Some people pick up apin for luck, others cross their fin-gers when they make a wish, andthe rare four-leaf clover has beenconsidered good luck in many soci-eties.

There are many other supersti-tions that have existed since the cen-turies, and there are people who aresuperstitious and there are thosewho are not. Some people believethere are circumstances that bringabout good and bad luck, and othersbelieve in their faith and the gooddeeds that come from the heart. Butperhaps more interesting than anysingle belief is the fact that the bodyof superstitions has enduredthrough the ages and will continueto be around long after we are gone.

It’s now officially Autumn.The cool air and the colorful fo-liage remind us of that. With somesimple driving tips, you will beable to enjoy the season with asmile on your face.

Those colorful tree tops that weall love to look at and drive aroundadmiring can also produce dangerwhen leaves fall to the ground.When wet, the leaves can be veryslippery and cause your car toslide, triggering you to lose con-trol when you’re not expecting it.When leaves are dry, it can be adangerous fire hazard. Be carefulwhen parking your car. As you andyour fellow neighbors start to pilethe leaves along the curb for pick-up, make sure that you don’t parkon top of the mound. Catalyticconverters can get extremely hotand could ignite a pile of dryleaves, causing your car to catchon fire.

With the change in season alsocomes a change in the angle of thesun. Sun glare can quickly affectyour daily commute. Be sure toprepare and have a good pair ofsunglasses handy. I would also rec-ommend taking a couple of min-utes and clean the inside of your

windows. This will not only helpwith the sun glare but also helpyour windshield defog or defrostfaster.

With the warm days and coolnights, black ice is a dangerouspossibility that can be found in theshadows, literally. Darker areasthat don’t get as much sun to burnoff the dew can freeze and becomeslippery. In areas such as bridgesand overpasses, where air circu-lates above and below the drivingsurface, black ice is bound to de-velop quicker.

Another safety item to remem-ber is your vehicle tires. Tire pres-sure can also be affected by theweather change. With frequentweather and temperature changes,tires can expand and contract,causing them to lose air pressure.Make sure you check your tiresregularly for proper inflation andplenty of tread.

Keep a watchful eye out forpedestrians strolling and childrenplaying in leaf piles. Scarves andhats can muffle people’s hearingand they may not notice a car com-ing. Let’s not forget about thosecute and scary trick or treaterswho will be walking around onHalloween looking for candy, andnot cars.

Fall is a beautiful time of year,and with some simple mainte-nance and precautions it can beone of the most colorful and enjoy-able times of the year.

Thank you for your cooperationand remember to please buckle-up. It not only saves lives, it’s thelaw.

TaskContinued from page 1

Haven in an effort to lessengun violence and improvepublic safety.

Berlin Police Chief PaulFitzgerald said State Attor-ney Brian Preleski requesteda task force to handle the vio-lent crimes in New Britain,but many criminals also leavethe borders of New Britainand can commit crimes in ad-joining towns or go into hid-ing.

“That’s how a town likeBerlin benefits,” Fitzgeraldsaid. “We don’t have the num-ber of officers like NewBritain has, so if we have anarmed robbery or a seriousassault in town, that taskforce will come to help us andthey will provide us with theman power to launch an in-vestigation, especially if sus-pects flee to New Britain.”

On Oct. 9, acting NewBritain Chief of Police JamesWardwell joined Preleski,New Britain Mayor TimO’Brien and other state offi-cials to announce the newlyestablished force.

“We are most appreciativeof the contributions of all ofthese agencies, which havestepped up to the plate to joinin this effort, which recog-nizes the reality that crimeknows no geographical bor-ders,” Wardwell said.

There is a process for po-lice departments to summonmembers of the task force.When a crime happens, ini-

tially a patrol officer is dis-patched. If the patrol officeron scene declares the incidenta violent crime, he or she in-forms the Berlin Detective Bu-reau. Once detectives assertthe case as violent and gun re-lated, they will notify OfficerHertzler, Berlin inspector forthe task force, who will thennotify the lead to dispatch oth-er members of the force.

In New Britain, one ofBerlin’s neighboring towns, itwas reported that gun vio-lence led to five homicidesover the last year; police in-vestigating nearly 150 reportsof gunfire or other incidentswhere a gun was displayed inthe past nine months alone,according to a Division ofCriminal Justice press re-lease.

Officers also will be able toassist municipal police de-partments, aligned with theGreater New Britain ShootingTask Force, with cold casesand other ongoing investiga-tions that involve homicidesand gun reports.

“This task force is built onteamwork and the collabora-tive efforts of law enforce-ment at all levels of govern-ment, allowing us to achievemaximum results from thelimited resources available,”Chief State’s Attorney KevinT. Kane said in an announce-ment.

BHS girls repeat as division champs; boys settle for fourthCCC Cross Country Championships

Senior runners lookingto go out in style

Berlin’s James Dwyer, top, and Taylor Lupini, below,close in on the finish line at the Central ConnecticutConference cross country championships, held lastweek at Wickham Park in Manchester.

By Nick CarrollThe Berlin Citizen

The Berlin High Schoolcross country teams droveaway from the Central Con-necticut Conference champi-onship meet with distinctlydifferent emotions.

The BHS girls were elated,

having bested their CCCSouth competition for thesecond straight year. Theirmale counterparts, on theother hand, were in no moodto celebrate their fourth-place showing at the meet,held Oct. 17 at Wickham Parkin Manchester.

“The girls ran a great

race,” Berlin coach SteveSoucy said. “We knew goingin that it would take a com-plete team effort to win. Thegirls all ran fantastic andtook seven of the first 12places in the race.”

The BHS boys had no suchpack to count on.

“The division was strongthis year and we went intothe day tied (for second place)with Middletown andPlainville,” Soucy pointedout. “Both teams have strongpack teams and if you don’tget a really low number at thetop, it is really hard tooutscore them.”

Bristol Central took homethe division crown in theboys race. The champs werefollowed by Middletown andPlainville.

“We knew it was a possibil-ity,” Soucy said of finishingfourth in the seven-team divi-sion. “All three (top) teamshad really strong packs. In arace like this, it could havegone either way; we couldhave finished second or wecould have finished fourth.Unfortunately, we finishedfourth.”

James Dwyer (6th place,18:18.8) and Brendan McLar-ty (8th, 18:29.61) were the firstRedcoats to complete the sce-nic 3.1-mile course on thismild afternoon.

Rounding out the Berlinslate were Lawrence Betteri-ni (15th), Ryan Kliszewski(23rd), Connor Ladd (25th),Sam Papacoda (27th) andMatt Kall (28th).

The BHS girls were pacedby Brittany Sullivan (4th,21:25.53) and Kristen Madeia(5th, 21:25.93).

Next in line for the LadyRedcoats were Taylor Lupini(7th), Paige Young (8th) andNicole Grieco (9th). Stef Par-illo and Nicki Sylvain round-ed out the Berlin slate, finish-ing 11th and 12th respective-ly.

Soucy said “it wasn’t a sur-prise” the Lady Redcoatscame out on top at WickhamPark.

“I couldn’t be happier for

the girls. They have workedextremely hard all seasonlong to get to this point,” saidthe coach. “We still havework to do heading into thestate meet, but things arelooking good.”

The Bristol Central girlswere second in the CCCSouth. Middletown wasthird.

Because Bristol Centralgot the best of Berlin duringthe regular season, the teamswill share the CCC Southcrown, as they did in 2011.

Next up, the BHS harrierswill compete in the CIACClass MM state champi-onship meet. That event isslated for Saturday, Oct. 27 atWickham Park.

By Nick CarrollThe Berlin Citizen

Matt Kall sat alone,sweatshirt hood pulledover his head, followingBerlin’s disappointing fin-ish at the Central Con-necticut Conference crosscountry championshipmeet.

The Redcoats were eye-ing a runner-up finish inthe CCC South that day.They placed fourth.

Kall, one of the team’sfour seniors, shoulderedsome of the blame forBerlin’s poor showing.

“I didn’t perform towhat I normally do. Andwe lost to our rivals(Plainville) by six points. Ifeel like, for myself, if Ihad done that much better,I could have helped us getthird. But I didn’t,” saidKall, who finished 28th inthe South.

Fellow BHS senior RyanKliszewski also was in asour mood that afternoon.He landed in 23rd place.

“Some of our varsityrunners didn’t perform aswell as expected; maybethey were under pressureor exhausted from the sea-son,” Kliszewski sur-mised.

Berlin’s senior contin-gent, rounded out by Bren-dan McLarty (8th) andLawrence Betterini (15th),was hoping for a much

stronger performance,team-wise, at their finalCCC meet.

The group has beenthrough a lot together.

“We started off not asmature, obviously,”Kliszewski said, thinkingback to freshman year.“And we’ve grown to knowwhat being a team actuallymeans, and about workingtogether to achieve whatwe want. We’ve definitelyput in the work. It’s beenan incredible experience.”

Kall echoed that.“When I was a freshman,

I came in and there wereonly about 12 kids on theteam. It grew to about 42this year,” he said. “It feelsjust like a bigger family.”

The BHS harriers fin-ished the regular season ina three-way tie for secondplace in the CCC South.This weekend, they areshooting for a top 10 finishat the CIAC Class MM statemeet, while also looking tobreak the school recordthey have flirted with.

“I think we can hit that”goal of breaking into thetop 10, said Kall. “We’rejust going to have to workthat much harder and putin more effort to get itdone.”

No matter how the Red-coats perform at the statemeet, Kliszewski is proud

of the legacy the seniors areleaving behind. “From whatI’ve heard, this is the bestteam from Berlin in at least10 years,” he said.

Pointing out the fact thatBerlin’s entire varsity rosterclocked sub-20-minute racesthis fall, Kliszewski said theprogram is “definitely betterthan I found it.”

with paper, crayons and crafts,and represented numbers be-tween one and 10 in creativeways by using their knowledgeof counting, number writingand calculating. The presenta-tion was an opening to the dis-cussion of the need for full-daykindergarten, due to changesin academic goals.

According to Laurie Gjer-pen, principal of Griswold Ele-mentary School, the imple-mentation of Common CoreState Standards in the schooldistrict this year, which havebeen adopted by Connecticutas expectations for children bythe end of kindergarten, doesnot work for a half-day sched-ule because the criteria waswritten for a full-day program.

The main prospects of theCommon Core State Standardsare to be able to add and sub-tract numbers up to 10, spellsimple words phonetically anduse proper grammar in sen-tences, describe measurable at-tributes of objects such aslength and width, and distin-guish the shades of meaningamong verbs such as walk,march, strut and prance.

Of course, with implement-ing a new program comes costsand changes. During the meet-ing, school administrators pre-sented budget considerationsthat include additional staff ata cost of $419,677, furniture andsupplies for additional class-rooms at a cost of $120,000 andstructural changes to class-rooms at a cost of $245,600.

The school district can insti-tute new changes for a full-daykindergarten program inspring 2013, when and if thebudget has been approved andpassed by the town.

Many board members saidthey agree with instituting full-day kindergarten becauseteachers do not have enoughtime in the day to work withstudents in learning and grasp-ing each objective.

“We want to give them theopportunity to meet those stan-dards and to do that for a full-day program is something thatwe think is necessary,” Gjer-pen said. “We also think it’snecessary that children havean opportunity to explore andlearn.”

Full-day kindergarten is a50-state initiative and 25 townsin Connecticut already have
