“06222014,” is how Vale-dictorian Nicole Grieco be-gan her speech at the Berlin High School graduation held in Welte Auditorium at Cen-tral Connecticut State Uni-versity June 22.
Grieco, first among 240 graduates this year, plans to become an engineer. She said her favorite subject was math since elementary. The class of 2014’s top student went on to explain that the num-bers referred to the date. “It is just a numerical sequence
that fails to capture our ex-citement for an event 13 years in the making,” Greico said. She delivered her remarks to the Berlin High School grads using PEMDAS – the order of operations – as a metaphor.
Starting with parenthesis, Greico advised the start of the decision-making process be informed by first looking at what is inside, consider-ing “beliefs and feelings.” The next step is to take risks, which, like exponents, can have an enormous effect on outcomes. The last thing to

The fourth annual movie night, showing The Lego Movie, put on by Raising Berlin, at Sage Park June 21 had the best turnout the group has ever seen, with a crowd arriving well in ad-vance of showtime.
“It was an excellent turn-out and we hadn’t even started,” Ally Riedel, secre-tary of Raising Berlin said.
This year, Raising Berlin partnered with UpBeat and the town Parks and Recre-ation Department.
Turnout looked like it
may be as many as 300 peo-ple, according to Raising Berlin President Jennifer Czerwinski.
A lot of things came to-gether for this year’s high turnout, Czerwinski said. Due to highly successful fundraising efforts earlier this year, the group was able to put up signs adver-tising the event. The group also offered free popcorn to people who connected to the group’s Facebook Event page, which helped to pro-mote the event.
“We’re extremely happy with the weather,” Riedel added.
Raising Berlin also sched-uled the movie night much closer to the end of the school year, when fewer people would be on vaca-tion, Riedel said. It’s also nice having the event on one of the longest days of the year, she said.
Kate Frederick’s first event as next year’s leader of the UpBeat Adventure House was to coordinate free face-painting for the movie night. The group also considered doing bal-loon animals, but decided against it due to litter issues.

Two local business owners spoke during Public Com-ment in favor of a proposal to widen roads, including Wash-ington, Baker, and Bruce Ave-nue. Randy Carol, a resident and business owner on Bruce Avenue, said that the narrow road – currently about half as wide as standard residential roads – is difficult for trucks to navigate, and that snow re-moval is poor due to the nar-rowness of the road. There is a lot of truck traffic on the road, including gasoline tank-ers, Carol said.
The council approved the proposal.
According to Director of Public Works Arthur Simo-nian, typically, it is not nec-essary for the council to
approve road repaving, but in this case, it is necessary be-cause the road must be wid-ened. Simonian said that the road has drainage issues that will be improved by the re-paving and widening.
The road will be broken down and completely re-placed, as public works has done numerous patch and pothole filling jobs on the road in the past.
“We will widen as far as we can without impacting drain-age wells,” Simonian said. The majority of the road will be widened to 24 feet, the standard residential road width.
The council also approved fee waivers for Raising Ber-lin’s movie night and for Girl Scout Troop 66286 to hold a fundraising event – either a pasta supper or pancake
breakfast – at the Senior Center. The troop initially requested fee waivers for multiple events, but the coun-cil approved just one waiver, and invited the troop to re-apply for future fee waiv-ers to keep an eye on costs as-sociated with the fundraiser.
Town Manager Denise McNair stated that Senior Center Director Tina Doyle wishes to encourage the use of the Senior Center, and that it is hoped that the costs as-sociated with the fundraiser would be minimal.
Councilor Charles Pao-nessa, recalling time spent as a Boy Scout working with se-niors, said that he believed it is beneficial to encourage in-teraction between young peo-ple and seniors.

Luke Longcroft of Brigh-ton, England was traveling on business when Amtrak train 490 from New Haven to Springfield hit a wood chip-per on a trailer flipping the bucket truck it was attached to.
“We heard a huge bang and a massive jolt,” Long-croft told reporters Monday morning. “There was lots of debris at the window. You could smell the burning and the carriages started to fill up with smoke a little bit. People were calm and people just filed off and got off the train.”
Longcroft and other pas-sengers who boarded school buses provided by New Brit-ain Transportation arrived at the Hawthorne Inn on the Berlin Turnpike after the 9:20 a.m. crash to connect with family and friends and board a motor coach to Springfield.
There were 45 people on the train, Amtrak officials reported. Five people, in-cluding the driver of the tree-trimming truck that flipped over, were taken to local hospitals, two on back-boards. Their conditions were unknown Monday af-ternoon, but local fire and police officials said they were conscious.
The crash caused the train to derail. The wood chipper and trailer were on fire when first responders arrived.
The passengers who spoke to the media said there was a jolt when the train hit the truck and the train contin-ued with one wheel off track for about a half-mile. Passen-ger Jevon Parrish of Hart-ford said “there was a crash and a boom and then the train shook.” Parrish said he felt the train rocking as if it might roll over.
Some passengers self-evac-uated the train. Emergency crews from Berlin and sur-rounding towns helped the remaining passengers evac-uate and then tended to the injured for 35 minutes before battling the fire, officials said. Because of the rural terrain and the distance from main roads, all-terrain vehicles were used to carry equip-ment and people to and from the wreckage.
The tree-trimming crew works for Trees Inc. of Hous-ton, Texas, a subcontractor for Northeast Utilities.
“The driver of the truck — the other individuals, the workers of the truck fled prior to the train —he was still trying to move that truck off of the tracks when the ac-cident happened,” Berlin Fire
Chief James Simon said.Prior to the crash, the
tree-trimming crew was try-ing to turn around, but it got stuck because a privately owned metal gate along the tracks was locked, Gov. Dan-nel Malloy said during a press conference Monday af-ternoon. The gate is mainly to prevent public access to Silver Lake.
The train hit the wood chipper and dragged it, flip-ping the truck it was hooked to. Friction from the wood chipper’s wheels is believed to have caused the fire, Mal-loy said.
The engineer on the train anticipated the crash and ordered the passengers into the second car. He used the emergency brake and quickly began getting people off the train, Malloy said.
Amtrak and police will be investigating why the truck was on the tracks and de-termine the train’s speed at the time of the crash. Rail service from New Haven to Springfield was suspended for several hours and ticket holders were placed on buses Monday. Amtrak restored rail service by about 4:15 p.m. Monday.
Earlier in the day, Malloy

A possible attempt at burglary was foiled June 16 when, police say, the sus-pect did not get any farther than over the fence.
The break-in at Pub-lic Storage on 120 Berlin Turnpike resulted in “no evidence of units being penetrated at this time,” according to Deputy Chief John Klett of the Berlin Po-lice Department. Accord-ing to police, there was no evidence of forced en-try at the gate, but the sus-pect, or suspects, may have gained entry by climbing the fence, Klett said. Doors
to approximately 30 units inside the facility showed evidence of attempted en-try, police say. At least one garage door was knocked off of its track, according to Klett.
“It may have been crimi-nal mischief,” Klett said.
There is currently no suspect, and no finger-prints have been found, police said.
Klett said police theorize that the perpetrator may have attempted to break into the units by ramming them with a shoulder.
A representative from Public Storage declined to comment, as this is an on-going police investigation.

This year’s freshly up-dated Economic Develop-ment brochure will not be printed, it only will be avail-able on the internet, to save money.
“In the past we have printed brochures and posted an electronic version on the town web site. We’ve decided that it was more cost effective to use an elec-tronic version only,” Mayor
Rachel Rochette said in a statement.
According to Economic Development Director Jim Mahoney, the brochure is just one part of the information available to potential devel-opers and business-owners.
The updated brochure contains a message from the new mayor, and emphasizes the upcoming commuter rail project with a photo of the train station on the cover.
The brochure provides an overview of the Berlin
community as well as de-mographic information and a list of vacant commercial and industrial land.
“It’s important to have that up-to-date,” Mahoney said.
Berlin “has achieved a unique balance between commerce and community,” the brochure states, not-ing the presence of regional and international businesses such as Northeast Utilities, Comcast, and ASSA ABLOY.

Sportsplex to host open house June 29
Berlin resident John DeMo-rais is the owner of the new central Connecticut sports-plex, which will be housing three sports-related busi-nesses, including the USA Wildcats.
The USA Wildcats is a cheerleading, tumbling, and gymnastics cheerleading program boasting a staff with more than 75 years of cheer-ing and tumbling experience. The other two businesses will include a speed school fea-
turing indoor turf for athletic training.
The name of the speed school has not yet been an-nounced, but will be recog-nized as one of the top speed schools in the area, said De-Morais, a Berlin native.
DeMorais said he is very excited for the businesses to come to the area. The idea came to him, he said, after his daughter began a com-petitive cheering program in Hamden, a long drive, he said.
The sportsplex is an indus-trial renewal project located at 1 Hartford Square in New
Britain. The Wildcats will be housed in a 6,400 square foot training facility featuring two competition floors.
“The concept is that the mother or father can drop off their son or daughter and also be able to work out in an adult training facility,” DeMo-rais said. All three businesses will be partnering with dis-counts. The business will feature an arcade in the foyer, with food, drinks, and mer-chandise, including Wildcats items, available for purchase. There will also be a large ban-quet room overlooking the gym suitable for events and birthday parties.
A Wildcats open house is being held at the facility Sat-urday, June 29.

Berlin High School is undergoing renovation in several areas of the school.
Hazardous material, including asbestos and PCBs, have been identified and will be removed over the course of the summer in the renovation area.
The hazardous mate-rial abatement was sched-uled to begin June 23, and end approximately Aug. 15. During this period, only adults over the age of 18 will be allowed in the building.
The abatement will be performed by a state-li-
censed abatement contrac-tor, Besteck, Inc., under contract to FIP Construc-tion. The project will be monitored continuously by Fuss & O’Neill EnviroSci-ence, LLS, an independent environmental consultant. The monitoring includes, but is not limited to, pre-work inspections, inspec-tion and air sampling during the abatement pro-cess, final visual inspec-tion, and final air clearance testing.

Children received balloon animals at the library June 21.| Charles Kreutzkamp / The Berlin Citizen
The June 21 summer reading kick-off event at the Berlin-Peck Memo-rial Library was a huge success, according to Head of Children’s and Teen’s services Jennifer Needham.
“We couldn’t have asked for a better day weather-wise,” Need-ham said. Turnout for the event was excellent, she said.
The event featured ice pops, a Mad Scien-tist booth, face-painting, balloon animals, and Spin-art.
“This is only the be-ginning,” said Children’s Librarian Emily Gon-tarz. Many more events will be held throughout the summer, and there is plenty of information as well as a calendar on the Berlin-Peck Memorial library website, Gontarz said.

consider is the calculations – the numbers, salary offered, and quantitative consider-ations. For example, Grieco said, the quality of a college career is not measured by GPA alone, and neither is lifetime happiness measured by net worth.
Salutatorian Matthew Heimlich said that “being successful is not as hard as you may think,” and pointed out that “what you define as success is up to you.” Heim-lich said that although he plans to become a chemical engineer, to someone else success may be owning their own business or becoming a writer. Heimlich advised the class of 2014 to set goals for themselves that are within reach, and to persevere through trial and error.
“Success is also having family, friends, and a life worth living,” Heimlich said, adding that as Winston Churchill said, success con-sists of going from failure to failure without the loss of enthusiasm.
BHS Principal Francis Ken-nedy said that he started with BHS at the start of the sopho-more year of the class of 2014. He praised the seniors’ hard work with a curriculum that was more challenging and re-quired more credits than the classes of previous years, and said the seniors should be proud to be the first class to complete a capstone project.
“We need to prepare you
for jobs that do not yet exist,” Kennedy said, “this is why we have focused so much on 21st century skills.”
“Today is a day that some of you have been waiting for anxiously and today is a
day some of you have been dreading … you may feel a mix of emotions,” said Se-nior Class President Jenna DelVecchio. DelVecchio said that grads should be thankful for the teachers, family, par-ents, peers, and coaches who were there for them through-out their schooling.
“I hope that you will be able to find your own defini-tion of success,” DelVecchio said.

Trauma can be shattering, but those who survive and put themselves back together may come through stronger. For Berlin-native “Sarah,” a domestic violence survivor, recovering has led to a life dedicated to helping others who were in her position.
According to Sarah, when she first went to the Pru-dence Crandall Center in New Britain, a nonprofit organization dedicated to ending domestic violence through advocacy and direct care to survivors or those currently in abusive relation-ships, it was for help.
Now, she returns as a vol-unteer to counsel others.
“I think Sarah is a wonder-ful example of what it means to move from victim to sur-vivor and to move a step further to thriving,” said Bar-bara Damon, executive di-rector at the center. “She has turned her life around … and is helping others”
Sarah said it is important for victims of domestic vio-lence to know that there is hope, and that it is possible for their lives to get better. Sarah runs a support group – the very same support group she used to attend – which is attended by “those who are still in their situation, those who have left, and those who have been court-mandated to
attend.” “Victims of domestic vi-
olence don’t always make sense to themselves,” she said. Abusers can weaken a victim’s support system and make them feel unable to es-cape – or they may feel like they, themselves, are the problem and deserve the treatment they receive, she explained.
“Logically, what is happen-ing to you is terrible,” Sarah said, but victims find them-selves unable to see their sit-uations for what they are. In her counseling work, she of-ten asks domestic violence victims to imagine a stranger is treating them the way their partner is treating them, or to imagine their sister or daugh-ter was being treated in the way they are being treated.
“They’ve been trained over time to believe they are worthless and deserve to be treated like that … Peo-ple who haven’t experienced this kind of thing really find it hard to [understand] why they don’t just leave,” Sarah said.
There are a lot of miscon-ceptions about domestic vi-olence, such as that victims are always financially depen-dent on perpetrators, Sarah said.
Some abusers are even financially dependent on victims.
Although her work focuses on female survivors, Sarah said that men can be victims of partner violence as well. “We’ve got to be mindful of that, and they do need help just like anyone else. It’s not a gender thing, the issue is power and control.”
“We don’t tell people what to do and we don’t make de-
cisions for them. We’re just there to support and edu-cate,” Sarah said. Many peo-ple may not have access to family or friends any more, and they need people in their lives that “understand and don’t judge.”
Friends and family can also call Prudence Crandall’s ho-tline for advice on approach-ing situations their loved ones are facing.
“Safety is of the utmost im-portance,” Sarah said. “Con-frontations can sometimes be unsafe. Timing is the key. You can’t approach a woman in front of her abuser… it is dangerous and ineffective.”
Warning signs of domes-tic violence include unex-plained injuries, absences from work or school, fear of conflict, low self esteem, becoming more shy or par-anoid, and isolation from friends and family.
For more warning signs, visit aardvarc.org.
Lack of control over fi-nances may also be a warning sign, Sarah said, or wear-ing plain and baggier cloth-ing, if the abuser is jealous and views their partner as property.
For those who wish to help, Prudence Crandall ac-cepts donations of gently used clothes, shoes, and fur-niture. “Victims leave their homes with only the clothes on their back, so are in need of pretty much everything,” Sarah said.
If you need to talk to some-one about a situation you or someone you know is expe-riencing, call the toll free Prudence Crandall hotline at (860) 225-6357, or toll free in Connecticut at (888) 774-2900.

Opinion
Clean it upTo the editor:Why doesn’t the town of
Berlin have a law that en-forces on blight? There are so many very sad properties which are beyond repair, and the town does nothing. You just take a trip around town on the turnpike, Farmington
Avenue, or many other roads and you see them with noth-ing done to correct them.
Why is the town wasting money on some things and not collecting on others they can make money on, or at least make the town more inviting?

attended a hurricane emer-gency drill in Milford. He stopped in Berlin to get an update on the crash and sur-vey the damage. He said Am-trak officials informed him there was no damage to the track.
“This is a tough day for Amtrak,” Malloy said, refer-ring to a Boston-area train crash that killed three peo-ple shortly after midnight Sunday.
Berlin Police Chief Paul Fitzgerald said the train trav-els at a high rate of speed in the area because it’s a very rural.
“You want to know what the truck looks like?” Chief Simon said. “It looks like it was hit by a train going 70 miles per hour.”
Trees Inc. representatives could not be reached for comment.
The company is already under investigation by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration after
a worker died when struck by a tree limb in Meriden two weeks ago.
The Norton Lane rail cross-ing has no Amtrak-owned public gate crossing, Fitz-gerald said, and there is only one house nearby. Amtrak confirmed the locked gate was on private property and subject to different require-ments than Amtrak owned gates.The last time there was a train crash in the area was 1980, police and fire officials said.
Berlin Town Manager De-nise McNair said state and federal plans to increase commuter rail service from New Haven to Springfield include securing the Norton Lane crossing possibly by ac-quiring private land.
Chief Simon said first re-sponders were relieved the injuries were relatively mi-nor and there was no loss of life.
“I’ve been to two train wrecks with bad outcomes,” Simon said. “It wasn’t as bad as we initially thought.”

Olivia, Mitch and Erin are among a party of 12 high school juniors representing the Connecticut and Massa-chusetts Rotary District.
This is the first time that Berlin students have been selected to attend this event. The entire trip is funded by Rotary District 7890 with ad-ditional help from the New Britain-Berlin Rotary Club.
All three Berlin students are members of the BHS In-teract club, a high school
chapter of Rotary Interna-tional. They looked forward to meeting Interact mem-bers from across the globe and looking at World Health from many points of view.
By working with fellow delegates to understand and define issues, the goal is to discover things they can do as individuals to make the world a better place.

Parafati takes over boys soccer programWhile most of Connecticut
will watch with bated breath during the upcoming Group G Germany-United States World Cup match, Berlin res-idents can rest easy know-ing that some of their soccer worries have subsided.
Longtime assistant Salva-tore Parafati was recently named the new Redcoats boys soccer head coach.
Parafati is familiar with Berlin’s system, having served as the Redcoats’ assistant for 14 years under former coach Dave Francalangia. Parafati also spent his high school pitch days as a member of the Redcoats team himself.
“I’ve always wanted to stay with Berlin. I bought a home in town and I’m raising my family here, and this is the only place I want to be,” said
Parafati. “So it’s an honor to be able to take over as head coach and stay here.”
Parafati, who was in-formed of his new position a few weeks ago, has plenty of ideas on which way to steer the Redcoat soccer program that is now his. Not one to mess with success, Parafati will look to continue train-ing the boys team in a simi-lar manner as they did under Francalangia. The training regime has worked in recent years, as the Redcoats have reached the CIAC semifinals once, the quarterfinals three times, and won a conference division title in the last four seasons.
Yet Parafati will look to add his own spin to the team in the hopes of bringing home the school’s first ever state soccer title.
“Without getting into it too much, I would say trying new
formations based on our cli-entele,” said Parafati. “I have great access being an NSCAA (National Soccer Coaches As-sociation of America) mem-ber. I have access to their website. There are so many fresh and new drills out there, whether it be targeted for of-fense or defense. Kind of in-tegrating that into practices will keep that fresh feeling going.”
One task that may loom large in Parafati’s first season will be replacing 14 members of last year’s team that were lost to graduation. The new coach, however, isn’t worried about what lies ahead.
“Well, it’s always an ardu-ous task to replace such a large group of seniors. But the senior group that will be coming in is very experi-enced,” said Parafati. “They have a lot of varsity expe-rience with getting playing
time last year. So I’m look-ing to build upon their ex-perience at the varsity level. They know what it takes to win, they know what it takes to perform within the CCC South conference.
“Another thing I’ll say is that we’re not the only team to lose seniors, and that’s the beauty of high school soccer, it’s very cyclical. So along with our team, there’s other teams in our conference that have also lost players and that will need to kind of fill that gap, if you will. And I think we’ll do a good job of filling those gaps, those necessary gaps there.”
Berlin could have an easier time than most filling roster holes. Aside from its return-ing talent, the team could be aided by the incoming fresh-men class, most of whom were members of last year’s undefeated McGee Middle
School team.The Redcoats will begin
their season Sept. 9, when they will travel to Conard to take on the Chieftains.

Redcoats host annual Red-White gameAlthough the calendar
reads June, there was an au-tumn feel in the air Friday night at Sage Park, as the large hometown crowd got a good first look at the 2014 Redcoats football team in Berlin High’s 11th annual Red-White game.
The hotly contested matchup, which pitted Red-coats vs. Redcoats, saw the White team come out on top 20-14 in overtime.
“Although it’s early, and there is still a lot of work to be done, the boys looked great,” said coach John Cap-odice. “This is a great group of guys who are committed to success, both jayvee and varsity.”
With the return of multi-ple varsity players from last year’s squad, and the addi-tion of imported talent from the jayvee team, there are a number of both old and new weapons that the Redcoats will be able to utilize this season.
“We’ve got a large core group of guys coming back from last season who are solid
players, and some young tal-ent that will definitely make an impact and be able to help us this year,” said Capodice.
Although squaring off against their own teammates, the ‘Coats were all smiles af-ter the game as the intrasquad matchup seemed to bring out the best in the athletes.
The Redcoats will open their 2014 campaign with a home game against Bristol Eastern Sept. 12 at Sage Park.

Kensington golfer headed to FordhamJohn Stepensky, a resident
of Kensington, recently an-nounced his intentions to play golf at Fordham Uni-versity in the fall.
Stepensky, a senior at Kingswood Oxford in West Hartford, was one of seven KO athletes to declare his desire to play at the colle-giate level last month in a ceremony at the school.
Only Stepensky and one other athlete will play at the Division I level next year.
The Kensington resident helped the Wyverns of KO throughout his senior cam-paign, shooting a 77 in the season final KO Invitational Tournament.
Stepensky’s strong play helped the Wyverns walk away victorious in the tour-ney, which was played at Oak Ridge in Feeding Hills, MA on May 21.
Stepensky will join a Rams team that struggled to make much noise in the Atlan-tic-10 this year, as Fordham finished ninth in the confer-ence’s golf championships just a few weeks ago.
The team made more progress in the classroom this spring than on the links, as the Rams were recognized for scoring a perfect 1000 on the latest NCAA’s Academic Progress Rate (APR), which were released on May 14.
