Berlin native forms charity toreduce malnutrition in Africa

An overview ofthis year’s fairBy Monica SzakacsThe Berlin Citizen

The weather forecast forall three days of the BerlinFair shows sunshine, with aslight chance of showersduring the weekend andtemperatures ranging in themid-60 degrees. But if rainhappens to make an appear-ance, the Berlin Lions Clubhas installed new drainagesystems, because the fairmust go on.

There is a drainage systemin the north parking lot to se-cure approximately 300spaces that have been rainedout in the past, and there alsois new drainage in Kid-dieland, so the ground willnot be mucky and familieswith carriages can passthrough.

Don’t forget there areshuttle buses traveling back

and forth each day of the fairfrom two locations. The shut-tle list can be found on page24 of The Citizen.

Friday and Sunday, gatesopen at 9 a.m., and close at 10p.m. Sunday gates open at 10a.m., and close at 7 p.m. Ad-mission for adults is $12,children under 11 are freeand senior citizens withproper ID receive a discountat $8. New this year is a fami-ly four pack of tickets on saleat the entrance gate. Thebundle comes with a freesoda and hotdog with eachticket, which can be re-deemed at the Lions Memori-al Booth.

Before attending theevent, it is a good idea to planahead on what activities andentertainment families andfriends would like to make apriority. The full schedulecan be found on page 24 ofThe Citizen and on theBerlin Fair’s website atwww.ctberlinfair.com.

fer from HIV and/or malnutri-tion.

“We worked at the school todevelop a large nutrition plotand a borehole well with an at-tached irrigation system tosupply the garden with acces-sible, clean water through apiping system that led fromthe well to the garden,” Haresaid. “We worked alongsidethe children throughout theplanting process to teach themabout preparing the land, sow-ing the seeds, growing, culti-vating and eventually harvest-ing the crops. We also teachabout different preparationmethods for the food, such ashow to boil food without strip-ping it of its nutrients, as thisis one major issue in the ruralareas of Africa.”

In addition to various veg-etables, the main food sourceplanted around the perimeterof the garden is the moringatree, better known as “the mir-acle tree,” with leaves packedwith vitamins and nutrients.Hare and Heimbach discov-ered the moringa tree’s nutri-

ents through the research ofDr. Jed Fahey, of Baltimore.Now, Fahey and Hare areworking together to plant 150moringa trees in a greenhouse, in Hare’s apartment, tostudy the different effectivegrowing methods. The tree iseasy to cultivate, developsfast, is hard to kill and flour-ishes in both hot and cold cli-mates.

The tree can be grown intoa bush, so it is lower to theground and produces moreleaves. The leaves can beplucked off and eaten raw orit can be boiled, dried andgrinded into a powder, whichcan be stored for many yearswithout spoiling or losing anynutrients.

“It’s really helpful becausewhat a lot of people eat overthere is porridge — it keepsyou alive, but there really isno nutrition — so at theschools if they have a meal it’s

a bowl of porridge,” she said.“Sometimes that’s the onlymeal the child will eat all day.The moringa powder can bepoured into the children’sporridge every single day, andthat can pull a kid out of mal-nutrition entirely.”

The charity has a plan tovisit Zimbabwe bi-yearly.When 2 Seconds or Less leave,Nhaka Foundation continuesto oversee the developmentand education of the nutri-tion gardens.

“It’s been developing intosomething even bigger, re-cently, where families havebeen getting excited aboutthis big project going on at theschool, so they want to startone at home,” Hare said. “Weare doing certain programswhere the children can bringplants home and they canstart their own gardens.”

There are 10 members dedi-cated to the charity. To donate,

hearings where the archi-tects presented, and attendedtown council meetings whendiscussion on the topic oc-curred. I also attended com-mittee meetings of the boardwhen necessary. With this in-formation, the board voted toapprove a plan presented bythe architect to move forwardwith a butler building, adja-cent to the current structure,to create swing space and tohouse the technology educa-tion program. This solutionensured the project couldmove forward within budgetand did not reduce our offer-ings for our students.

What have you learnedwhile serving on the boardand why do you seek re-election?

While serving on theboard, I have learned the im-portance of working together

with people because we areall neighbors. I learnedwhen a group of parents, stu-dents, and local elected offi-cials worked together, wewere able to pass the “reno-vate as new” project forBerlin High School. Thisproject is integral to imple-mentation of the new BerlinHigh School program ofstudies. The new programgives students an opportuni-ty to take many courses, in-cluding new core course of-ferings in the science, math,civics, and language arts ar-eas and several electives thatwere not previously offered,including baking and newbusiness offerings. In imple-menting the program ofstudies, we also worked to-gether with parents, admin-istrators and students to cre-ate a program to give our stu-dents the tools to compete ona national and internationallevel in the job market. I amseeking re-election because Iwould like to see these initia-tives carried through, whileensuring that not one dollar

is wasted. Over the pastthree years, I have workedhard on behalf of the voters,taxpayers, and students onthese initiatives, and others,and would like the opportu-nity to continue to work foryou.

Tell voters why you arequalified for the office youseek and what they can ex-pect from you.

I grew up in Berlin. I wentto school right here at Hub-bard Elementary, McGeeMiddle School and graduateda Redcoat from BHS. I gradu-ated from Syracuse Universi-ty College of Law in May2009 and came back home toserve my community. This iswhere I learned what mat-ters; it is not your name butwhat you get done. It’s whereI learned that you usually getmore done when you workwith people than when youfight with them.

I am running for a secondterm on the Berlin Board ofEducation based on my ownrecord of service to the peo-ple of Berlin. The people of

Berlin, by their votes, en-trusted me with the impor-tant privilege of serving onBoard of Education in No-vember 2009. As a BOE mem-ber, my proudest accomplish-ment was to stand up for thefuture of our communityand help pass, alongside hun-dreds of parents, grandpar-ents, neighbors and students,the high school renovationproject in March 2011.

Our commitment to con-tinuous improvement lead-ing to student achievementand success has set our dis-

trict among the top echelonof school systems in thestate. I am proud of myrecord, but I’m not done yetand if I have the privilege toserve a second term, I will re-main committed to: protect-ing the excellence of a Berlinpublic schools education intough financial times, edu-cating all students to be suc-cessful in college and career,ensuring that tax dollars arespent on programs thatwork, and equity and excel-lence for all students and notone dollar is wasted.

As a newly appointed mem-ber of the BOE, I have had theopportunity to deliberate onmany important issues thatthe BOE and its individualmembers face on a regular ba-sis. It’s been a great experi-ence, as well as an education-al one. I appreciate not onlythe dedication to excellence,but the willingness to collabo-rate that was shown by the

other board members, as wellas by the superintendent andhis administrators. Myknowledge regarding thebusiness of managing aschool system and creating anatmosphere where our chil-dren can comfortably grow inmind and body has increasedat a rapid pace.

One of the issues that I fo-cused upon involved the plan-ning, designing and con-structing of the renovationsto BHS. With my experiencein the management of schoolconstruction projects, I un-derstand that, (a) budgets arealways based on past costsand experiences and are al-ways hard to maintain, and(b) schedules are only esti-mates of the time needed tocomplete complicated tasksand can never be exact. How-ever, we have to rely on bothto push any desired projectforward. But we have to ex-pect deviations, unforeseencircumstances and the neces-sity to make difficult deci-sions on short notice. Al-though under the town’s char-ter, the BOE is not directly re-sponsible for constructing theBHS project, it has a huge

vested interest on behalf ofour children and residents inmaking sure it is completed.Support and leadership fromall elected and appointed offi-cials is essential.


I have learned that it takesa serious and constant effortto be prepared for the neces-sary agenda items at BOEmeetings. In addition to citi-zen input and administratorpresentations, there are edu-cational and personnel poli-cies, facilities issues, andbudget analysis. In addition,the real mission is to providea positive learning experi-ence for Berlin children. Youhave to be dedicated and fo-cused to that end game in or-der to continue to build thepublic trust in our education-al system. Being involved ingovernment affairs and com-munity development for myentire career, I think I canhelp.

Most importantly, my lifefocus in recent years has beensharpened by fatherhood. Ona daily basis, my four chil-

dren are handed over to ourtown’s educational system. I’dlike to continue to play a partwith the BOE, it’s a role inwhich I hope to make a differ-ence for the parents and chil-dren.


I grew up in the Town ofBerlin, as my father did be-fore me. My wife and I choseto own a home and raise ourfamily in Berlin. This doesnot make me qualified to

serve on the BOE; but itshould tell the voters what Ithink of this town. I like thefact that my children willgrow up, learn about life andget educated in my home-town. But I want to be in-volved with determining thequality of life and educationthat is acceptable for my chil-dren. If I get a chance to con-tinue to serve, I will work ashard as I can for a strong andaffordable educational pro-gram for our kids.

A greeting from Kensington United Methodist ChurchMy name is Juhye Hahn,

the pastor at KensingtonUnited Methodist Church. Ibegan my ministry journeyboth at East Berlin UnitedMethodist Church and Kens-ington United MethodistChurch in July 2011. Both

churches have shared a pas-tor for many years. Howev-er, in July 2012, the Bishop ofthe New York Annual Con-ference appointed me toserve only the KensingtonUnited Methodist Church.Even though I have been a

family member in the Berlincommunity for a while, Iwould like to take this op-portunity to introduce my-self to the people of Berlinas I begin my new journeyas the pastor at KUMC.

I was born and raised inKorea and came to the States

through the UnitedMethodist mission programin 1994. God opened my eyesand gave me compassion andpassion for God as I workedin various mission fields. Toserve people better, I studiedsocial work. I received mymaster’s degree in social

work fromAdelphi Uni-versity andworked withadoptivefamilies inMaryland.

Then I re-ceived God’scall into or-dained ministry and I wentback to seminary. I receivedmy Master of Arts in wor-ship and Master of Divinityfrom Union Theological Sem-inary in New York City. I re-cently served at LucienMemorial United MethodistChurch in Long Island, N.Y.

My husband, Albert Hahn,is also a United Methodistpastor. He currently servesat the Wethersfield UnitedMethodist Church. We havetwo beautiful children – Pe-ter, who is 13 and Harim, ourdaughter, who is 10. I loveplaying the piano, gardeningand riding a bicycle. Theygive me new energy and re-fresh me. But above all, myhappiest time is when Ispend quality time with Godin prayer.

One of the things I enjoyabout being a member of theBerlin BOE is that it is aboard that believes in contin-uous improvement not onlyfor its students, but for mem-bers themselves. In my mind,educating oneself is vital tothe success of any endeavor.

Before meetings, boardmembers receive materialsthat will be discussed. Part ofbeing prepared involves re-viewing these materials be-fore the meetings and gettinganswers to any questions Imay have before it is time tovote. Doing this enables me tomake informed decisionsbased on actual information,

not based on heated or emo-tional discussions five min-utes before a vote. It also pre-pares me to be involved in dis-cussions and share my view-points rationally. If I have aproblem with something ordisagree with something,such as a book adoption, I willhave researched the book andbe prepared to justify myviewpoint. I certainly wouldnot develop a viewpoint basedon hearsay, but on what I haveseen for myself.

If I need information onan issue, I do not hesitate toattend committee meetingsoutside of my own. I havealso attended state and na-tional BOE conferences in or-der to make myself aware ofwhat is going on outside ofour school walls.


CugnoContinued from page 9

The question asked, as not-ed above, is “What can you ex-pect from me?” You can expectme to use my experience ingovernment and managementto assist the BOE in continu-ing it’s great work in develop-ing an educational programthat can compete against anycommunity’s. You can expectme to actively support the fur-ther development and mainte-nance of our educational fa-cilities. You can expect me tosupport placing the bar at avery high level when it comesto evaluating the BOE’s initia-

tives. You can expect me to of-fer my opinion on BOE mat-ters, based upon research andinformation provided by ex-perts in the related fields. Youcan expect me to use my owneducational background(Bachelors in Business Ad-ministration; Masters in Eco-nomics; and Law Degree) toits utmost in serving our com-munity and its children.

Lastly, thanks for taking thetime to read this stuff. I’m notusually this serious, but theseBOE positions are important.Hopefully you think I amworthy of your support; Iknow I am flattered to be con-sidered.

Recycling for disaster reliefT h e B e r l i n H i g h

School Interact Club isgearing up for its firstfull year at BHS. Its firstfundraiser will be a recy-cling project at theBerlin Fair. Studentswill be collecting, clean-ing and bagging return-able bottles for redemp-tion.

T h e B e rl i n L i o n sClub has generouslypledged to match the col-lected funds. Interactwill use the profits tosupport ShelterBox, aglobal rotary initiative. ShelterBoxes are disaster relief tents that provide emergencyshelter and life-saving equipment following disasters, such as earthquake, volcano, flood,hurricane, cyclone, tsunami or conflict. To learn more, and to see an actual ShelterBox set-up, visit the Rotary Club booth at the fair. People can support Interact by finding the spe-cially marked recycling barrels at the fair.

member handbook, is that weare individually and collec-tively committed to being wellinformed on local, state andnational educational issues,initiatives and practices.

We accomplish this throughthe sharing of articles fromprofessional journals, as-signed books and reading as-signments, presentations byeducators, the review of data,taking advantage of profes-sional development opportuni-ties and conversations withmembers of the community.All members take seriouslytheir responsibility to be edu-cated on all matters that comebefore us, so that we can makethe best decision possible.

The board utilizes a varietyof means to educate and en-gage the public on educationalissues, such as presentationsat schools and to citizengroups, the distribution of a“bulletin board” followingeach board meeting and theuse of advisory committeesand citizen councils.What have you learnedwhile serving on the boardand why do you seek re-elec-tion?

During my service on theBoard of Education, I have de-veloped an increased apprecia-tion of the value and power ofa quality education; gained abetter understanding of thenecessity of an intense focusand relentless effort in order to

reach and educate every child;and come to understand therole a high functioning Boardof Education can play inachieving this goal.

Research and experienceshows that a high functioning,professional Board of Educa-tion can play a crucial role infocusing the work of theschool district on studentachievement, aligning re-sources to support this work,and insisting on accountabili-ty to ensure the work is ac-complished and goals arereached.

I am more convinced thanever that the work to provideexcellent educational oppor-tunities to all children is amoral imperative. I seek re-election because my passionfor this work, and my abilityto make a positive difference,remain undiminished.Tell voters why you arequalified for the office youseek and what they can ex-pect from you.

I am uniquely qualified toserve as a member of theBerlin Board of Education. Iearned a Bachelor’s degree, aMBA, and a law degree fromthe University of Connecti-cut. I am employed as a schoollaw attorney, specializing inthe legal issues facing publiceducation.

In addition to serving onthe Berlin Board of Educationfor over 15 years, I have servedas a member of the Board ofDirectors of the ConnecticutAssociation of Boards of Edu-cation (CABE) for over 10

years. I have given numerouspresentations on Board of Ed-ucation issues, including twopresentations at the NationalSchool Boards Associationconference.

During my tenure on theBerlin Board of Education,the board has been trans-formed into a high-function-ing, professional governanceboard and our schools haveseen significant improve-ment. Student achievementscores are up, at the top ofcomparison school districts,our curriculum has been en-hanced and made more rigor-ous, and resources have beenused efficiently.

At the same time, the BerlinBoard of Education is recog-nized throughout the state as amodel board, recognized eightconsecutive years by CABE asa “board of distinction.” Italso has been featured in abook by a researcher at theHarvard School of Educationas a “highly effective” schoolboard. And we have been con-tacted by school boards, liter-ally, from around the countryfor guidance and advice.

Although I do not take cred-it for all of these accomplish-ments, I am proud to haveplayed a role in their achieve-ment. If the public returns meand the incumbent boardmembers to office, they can beconfident that this work willcontinue, and our commit-ment to provide an exception-al education to each and everychild will continue undimin-ished.

and I am proud to have beena part of that.

What I have learned is thatthere is so much more. Everydecision that is made has a dol-lar amount attached to it andthat each dollar counts. I didnot realize how much time andeffort was involved in develop-ing and refining a budget. Iknew that education was thetown’s largest tax expenditureand have learned good stew-ardship of this is vital for abalanced and thriving commu-nity.


Any resident of the Town ofBerlin is qualified to run for of-fice. Simply living here givesthem that right. To be an assetis another issue all together.

As I said previously, beingan educator myself helps meto understand the basic work-ings of a school system. I haveworked in schools that func-tioned well and in schoolsthat minimally functioned. Ihave seen money well spentand I have seen money bla-tantly wasted. There is some-thing to be said for perspec-tive, and I have been in manysituations educationally thathave taught me the good andthe bad.

Obtaining a master’s de-gree in educational leader-ship also gave me a view intohow schools should be run. Ihave learned so much abouteffective leadership and whatit can do to improve schools.

What I feel makes me an as-set is my commitment to eachinvested partner in the

Family owned, family run. We pride ourselves on ourcommitment to our community and our outstanding service.

Hard work pays off for The Berlin FairFair President Mark Neu-

mann partic-ipated in theannual Q &A session forour BerlinFair cover-age.

W h a tgoes intoorganizingand running a fair?

I’ve been in the club for 30years. I watched andlearned from the veterans.Fortunately, our superin-tendents know their jobsand I, as a leader, have giventhem new ideas and sugges-tions for improvement. Mycareer as a musician,teacher, administrator andyes, also a shoe salesman,has allowed me to adaptproven methods andprocesses to our fair. I havethree master’s degrees inleadership, supervision andadministration, which hasalso helped. I developed atheme, mission statementand objective for our fairand the board of directorsadopted them. This year ourtheme is a “Better Berlin

Fair.” Our intent is to im-prove and perfect what weoffer to our attendees. Wedon’t want to be bigger, justbetter. To that end, we haveimproved parking, im-proved drainage and thesurface of “Kiddie Land,”added the “Berlin Fairwarm and scrumptious cin-namon bun,” implementedthe “family four pack oftickets,” improved signageand provided reporting ar-eas for injuries and safety.Come to the fair and see foryourself.

What was your biggestsurprise when it comes tobeing head of the wholeenterprise?

The biggest surprise wasseeing how hard our mem-bers work. For example, I goto the fairgrounds every dayand I still can’t get there be-fore “Davie” Alkas. A manof many talents, he takescare of and operates thetractor pull area, supervisesand maintains the agricul-tural museum, maintainsthe antique tractors and,along with Andy Blasco,Devon Austin and Steve

Carp, they get the crews go-ing on grounds improve-ment and ordering materi-als to handle drainage,storm sewers and parkinglots. So many people toname, I don’t want to leaveanybody out. Believe me,all of our superintendentshave surprised me withwhat they are able to getdone. Budgets are tight, andwe want to maximize whatwe can give to our charities.Parking is always a chal-lenge. Dick Yale and FranRecck also handle the pre-mium parking, managingthe filling of lots. Theircrews are at work long afterthe fair closes and ofcourse, are on the job at 6a.m. I better stop namingnames or I might makesome feel not appreciated.

How will you measurethe success of this year’sfair?

Success is measured in anumber of ways: we keep at-tendance records, differenttype of tickets taken at thegate, income of the variousLions booths, attendance atentertainment venues and

of course, hopefully thesmiles on people’s faces andpositive comments by ourpatrons.

What show(s)/ perform-ance(s) are you excited tosee and why?

Since I am a professionalentertainer, manage eventsand also pretty good at criti-cal analysis, I will see atleast one performance andcontest. I definitely want tosee the bicycle thrill show,the hypnotist and the Co-conuts Band. We have beenvery successful with hiringfuture stars. Phil Vassar,Joe Nicols, Jake Owen,Daryl Worley and Lee Brycehave all gone on to havemany hits. Lee Bryce cur-rently has the hit “Hard toLove” in the top five. Lastyear we got him for $14,000.He now gets up to six figures!Let’s see how this year’s upand coming Craig Campbelldoes in the future. Of course,I want to see the the triedand true top group: DiamondRio. Superintendent PeterHansen and Lenny Tubbshave done and amazing job.

What will you make

your priority at the fair?I want to keep moving,

talk to as many people as pos-sible and visit all of ourworking Lions to motivateand encourage them. Cer-tainly I want to see thateveryone has a safe and funtime at the fair.

What food booth willyou hit first?

Every year for the last 29years, I hit the American Le-gion for its clam chowder.It’s the first food I have. I lovethe chicken dinners, bakedpotatoes and I have to eat atleast one large chili dogfrom the “Doggie Shack.”Every year I try to buy onepiece of lemon merenguepie, but Peter Hansen has al-ready hit the booth so manytimes that there’s none left.

Any advice for newcom-ers?

Come early, stay late, comeall three days. The more themerrier, and the more andmerry help us fund our nu-merous extended communi-ty charities. Here’s to the“Better Berlin Fair,” maythe weather be with us!

By Katherine VandrillaSpecial to The Citizen

It’s that time of year again.Time to see the livestock, thearts and crafts, produce andneighbors you have not seenin ages. That’s right. TheBerlin Fair is this weekend.

Every Berlinite has a go-tofair food. There is somethingfor everyone, and everythingis fresh and delicious. If youdo not yet have a favoritemeal at the Berlin Fair, makesure to try some of these sig-nature dishes that can befound at the different localorganizations’ food stands.

There are pierogies fromthe Prince of Peace, clamchowder from the AmericanLegion, butterfly potatoes byKiwanis, lobster rolls fromKensington CongregationalChurch, meatball grindersfrom St. Paul Church andpasta from Sacred HeartChurch. Also, there are roastbeef sandwiches from BerlinCongregational Church,BBQ chicken from Kensing-ton United Methodist and ap-ple fritters from UnitedMethodist Church. Not tomention the fire departmentssell such goodies as deepfried Oreos (East Berlin dis-trict), Freedom Fries (Berlin

district), and clam strips(South Kensington district).

And if that is not enoughvariety for you, Berlin Lionscooks up everything fromtacos, to baked potatoes, tojalapeño poppers, to every-one’s favorite – fried dough.After you make your waythrough those, be sure to pickup a bag of freshly poppedpopcorn from Boy ScoutTroop 44 or a corn-on-the-cobfrom Boy Scout Troop 41.Just make sure you saveroom for a candy apple on theway out.

If you have tried all ofthese already and are lookingto add a new staple to yourweekend at the fair, the newitem on the menu this year iswarm cinnamon buns. Theyare brought to you by noneother than the Berlin LionsClub themselves. You canpick up some of these savorypastries by the hot dog boothtowards the back of the fair.

The Berlin Fair onlycomes around once a year. Besure to have your fill of yourfavorite foods, as when theweekend is out, you’ll have towait another year to get themagain. Have a great time atthe fair, and happy eating.

What the Berlin Fair means to the communityBy Mayor Adam SalinaSpecial to The Citizen

The summer has endedand we arenow in oneof my fa-vorite sea-sons of theyear. Myc h i l d r e nhave attend-ed the BerlinFair for thelast several years.

They now look forward tothe fair, just as they do toHalloween, Thanksgivingand Christmas. They knowit is something special andall of their friends are justas excited as they are. Theylike the animals, the ridesand the chance to eat the“junk food” that mommyand daddy don’t allow them

to have the rest of the year. My 7-year-old asked why

we have a fair each year andmy 4-year-old wanted toknow who “makes” the fair.It gave me a chance to ex-plain to them, some of thespecial opportunities wehave by living in a smallercommunity and of the pridepeople have in their town. Itis the chance for people tobe together to help each oth-er working in a booth spon-sored by a church, a schoolorganization or a civicgroup. As to who “makes”the Berlin Fair, it is throughthe leadership of the BerlinLions Club and the count-less hours of volunteerwork from our youngestchildren to our most seniorcitizens that make it hap-pen.

The fair heightens our

citizens’ sense of civic dutywith the participation ofnearly every club, church,civic organization, volun-teer fire department, schooland business in our region.The fair fosters the truesense of community, aseveryone comes togetherfor a common purpose. Formany groups, the fair offersthe opportunity to generatesubstantial funds for yearlyprojects. Others are giventhe chance to inform thecommunity of activitiesand services that may behelpful to our citizens. It isa wonderful sight to seetownspeople put on their“volunteer cap” to sell hotdogs in a food booth, hookup the sled at the horsedraw contest or judge themany entries in our exhibi-tion areas.

For some, the Berlin Fairmarks the true beginning ofautumn. For others, it hasbecome somewhat of a re-union where families cometogether, students returnfrom college and old friendscatch up on the events ofthe past year.

The catalyst for this com-munity endeavor is theBerlin Lions Club. This isthe 64th year of the fair,which involves year-longpreparation by its mem-bers. Over the years, the Li-ons Club has continuallyimproved the grounds andbuildings of the site. Thishas allowed the use of thearea for other communityevents, such as craft fairs,jazz festivals, car shows andothers. In each instance,Lion members are ready tooffer assistance to make

these additional events suc-cessful.

Throughout the year, theLions Club reinvests theproceeds of the fair backinto our community. Moneyis donated to sponsor localyouth teams, the DARE pro-gram, Berlin Upbeat andthe Lions have establishedscholarships for BerlinHigh School students. Theirgenerosity also extends tothe Fidelco Guide DogFoundation, CT Lions LowVision Centers, CCARC aswell as providing food andgifts to those less fortunatearound the holiday season.

The Berlin Lions Clubtruly heightens the public’ssense of civic duty andtheir acts of service contin-ue to add meaning to ourlives and help improve thequality of life in Berlin.

What’s new at the BerlinHistorical Society Museum Barn

Submitted by Lorraine Stub

Berlin Historical Society Museum members CathyLapollo, Janice Jacobs, Donna Rudge and Anne Yantzworked on the Native American display in preparationfor the exhibit.

By Lorraine StubSpecial to The Citizen

Not to be missed at theBerlin Fair is The Berlin His-torical Society’s MuseumBarn. For eight years, thehistoric society provided animaginative place for peopleto congregate and sharetown history.

Last year, much work wentinto creating an expansivediorama depicting the origi-nal settlement of Berlin inThe Great Swamp, includingThe Seymour Fort of 1686.Since the scene was so wellreceived, the Berlin Histori-cal Society is expanding thestory this year to include theNative Americans whocamped, fished and huntedin this area for centuries.

From all that has beenread, the early settlers peace-fully coexisted with the Mat-

tabasset tribe. Evidence oftheir presence remains inthe extensive collections ofstone arrowheads and toolsaccumulated by members ofthe Benson and Lund fami-lies. Often, these treasuredartifacts turned up as fieldswere plowed in the SpruceBrook – Savage Hill Roadarea. Kip Benson’s collec-tion, on loan from CCSU, willbe on display. The barn willalso feature a life size wig-wam and dugout canoe.

Continuing to commemo-rate The Civil War, Berlin re-members the 150th anniver-sary of The Battle of Anti-etam, the bloodiest one dayconflict in American historywith 23,000 lives lost. It issobering to reflect that newlymustered soldiers of the 16thConnecticut Volunteers,

BMX national champion thrilled to perform at the fairBy Monica SzakacsThe Berlin Citizen

This year at the BerlinFair, a U.S. national BMXchampion will maneuverthrough a custom set of ob-stacles and ramps for TheKenda/Mike SteidleyMountain Bike Stunt Show.Mike Seidley said stunts arebased on steering the bicy-

cle while using a skill set ofdifferent techniques tojump the bike from ramp toramp, which are designed tochallenge the rider.

The Connecticut nativegrew up in Guilford andnow lives in New Havenwhen he is not travelingaround the world.

Steidley performs inabout 75 shows a year and

has journeyed to 23 coun-tries. He holds the currentrecord of 28 gold medals forthe most individual goldmedals in the history of theNorth American Trial Se-ries, which is an organiza-tion that provides a sched-ule of quality competitionsfor U.S. and Canadian biketrials riders. In Steidley’slifetime, he has won 10 U.S.

national championships and16 regional championships.

“Since I travel around theworld, it’s great that I can doa Connecticut show,” Steid-ley said. “I have a buddy vis-iting from Europe and an-other pro rider here whowill train with me, so he willcome and ride as well, so itshould be a fun weekend. Iheard the Berlin Fair gets agreat local crowd and I’mproud that I can put on ashow for my home state.”

Steidley grew up ridingmountain bikes as a kid andsaid he was good at cyclingsince day one. Eleven yearsago he decided to take hishobby of BMX riding to thenext level and go profession-al.

At the age of 14, Steidleyentered his first competi-tion and remembers being“psyched in the car,” as hisparents drove him to theshow. He won first placewith a cash prize of $200and said he felt an over-whelming sensation of ac-complishment that day.

“That year, I set a goal to

keep training and riding inorder to win the junior na-tional championship,” hesaid. “When I did that, I wasinvited to represent the USAin the world championshipin Japan and once I wentoverseas, I really saw the toplevel of professionals.”

Firsthand accounts of hisservice as a drummer in theregiment’s fife and drumband come alive in “Field Mu-sic: from Antietam to Ander-sonville, The Civil War Let-ters of Lyman B. Wilcox,” anew book published by TheBerlin Historical Society. Ly-man’s letters give insight notonly into his war experience,but into life back in ruralBerlin among family andfriends. The book is generat-ing a lot of excitement andcopies will be available forsale at a discounted price.

In more recent history, alarge display case will takevisitors back to the goldendays of The Berlin Turnpike.The Berlin Historical Societyalso will have a kiosk full ofvintage toys from the muse-um’s collection. In the sou-venir photo area, there willbe adult and child size cut out

figures in vintage clothes sothe whole family can partici-pate.

The new DVD is a secondinstallment of our most popu-lar “Berlin, Then and Now,”with archival photographscapturing locations in Berlinfrom long ago contrasted withcontemporary photos of thesame scene. Hay bales, set uptheater style, provide a wel-coming place to visit andview the video with friends.

Along with promotingBerlin history, the fair is anopportunity to raise funds forprograms, displays and schol-arships with what the BerlinHistorical Society sells in TheCountry Store area of thebarn. In addition to the CivilWar Letters book, there willbe the “Berlin Spirit,” red,white and blue patterned Mu-rano glass beads, plus home-made jams, jellies and snacks,local honey, herbs and spices,dried flowers, ornaments,Berlin crocks, afghans, pettreats, toys and more.

Coats’ Notes

Harriers sweep; football team still undefeated

Girls squad stays hot,improves to 4-1-1

By Sean KrofssikSpecial to The Citizen

Last week’s CCCSouth girls soccer show-down between early sea-son conference leadersPlatt and Berlin certain-ly lived up to the billing.

Redcoats forward Catherine Voelpelscored the only goal of the game 13 minutesinto the second half to lead Berlin to the 1-0victory in an evenly-matched contest thatfeatured two 2-0-1 squads in conferenceplay entering the game.

“Going in, we knew this was going to bea tough game, no doubt about it,” Plattcoach Rob Beale said. “We got a lot out ofthis game and it is going to make us a bet-ter team. It was exciting all the way, but itwas a heartbreaking loss.”

Voelpel’s goal came when she ran to a

free ball just outside the penalty area. Shegot the ball, turned and lofted a shot in onemotion. It floated just out of Platt goalieMarquia Grundy’s reach and just underthe crossbar before hitting the back of thenet.

“Our goals aren’t always pretty, but itseemed like that was the type of goal thatwas going to win today,” said Berlin coachSteve Yanosy. “It wasn’t a beauty, but it wasa hard-fought goal and a hard-fought win.”

Both teams took 14 shots. Grundy made13 stops in the game. In the first half, shestoned 10 shots despite a stiff breeze in herface and the sun in her eyes.

Berlin netminder Michaela Dehm (14saves) faced the blinding sun and nine Plattshots in the second stanza.

The teams will meet again on Oct. 18 atSage Park at 6 p.m.

The Lady Redcoats went on defeat Bulke-ley, 5-0, Friday to improve to 4-1-1.

By Nick CarrollThe Berlin Citizen

It was a perfect day forthe cross country teams,as the boys and girlssquads ran past Middle-town and Maloney.

In the boys race, BHSbested Middletown, 26-31,and Maloney, 21-40, whilethe Lady Redcoats pre-vailed 20-42, 15-50.

Berlin coach Steve Soucysaid it took an “entire teameffort” for the boys toknock off Middletown.

James Dwyer and Bren-dan McLarty finished one-two for the Redcoats, andMatt Kall and LawrenceBetterini passed a pair ofMiddletown runners in thefinal half mile to finishfive-six.

The Middletown boystopped Berlin in 2011.

“The boys really havebeen focused on Middle-town this year becausethey kind of snuck up onus last year and got a good

win against us,” said Soucy.“We were ready for themthis year and had a solidplan going into the race. Iknew if we could get theoverall winner we wouldhave a good shot, point-wise. And lucky for us, ourtop guys really camethrough.”

The BHS girls utilized adifferent formula to earnthe win. A Middletown run-ner was first across the fin-ish line, but the Lady Red-coats took the next sixspots to get the victory.

Berlin was paced by Brit-tany Sullivan, who was fol-lowed closely by KristenMadeia, Nicole Grieco,Paige Young, Stef Parillo,Nicki Sylvain and TaylorLupini.

“I told the girls to go outhard and then start to turnthe race into a tempo runonce the positions wereclear,” said Soucy. “Theywere still able to post one ofthe fastest team times wehave ever had at Sage Parkwith a 1:54:52.”

The BHS harriers wenton to compete at the Wind-ing Trails Invitational. Ledby Madeia’s 12th placeshowing, the girls finishedthird. Madeia was followedby Sullivan and Grieco.Madeia and Sullivanearned medals.

The Berlin boys landedin ninth place. Once again,Dwyer and McLarty were

By Mark PukaloSpecial to The Citizen

The Berlin girls swim-ming team faced its first bigtest this season on Fridayand passed with high marks.

The Redcoats recordedseveral personal bests in a104-82 victory against E.O.Smith at Plainville High, im-proving to 3-0.

“They were extremely fo-cused and motivated,” Berlinco-coach Amanda McCarthysaid. “They knew what theywanted to do and they wentout and did it. The girls real-ly wanted this and, when itcomes to swimming, I’m al-ways telling them that it’smore mental than it is physi-cal.”

Sophomore KelseyKozikowski won the 100 but-terfly, senior Joanna Wojtuntook the 200 IM, seniorAmanda Martino the 100backstroke and freshmanOlivia DeGroff earned a per-sonal best in winning the 100breaststroke (1:14.36). SeniorLeah Pawelczyk also wondiving.

Those performances weresupported by some solid ef-forts to gain key places.

“Overall, we had moredepth than E.O. Smith,” Mc-Carthy said. “There were alot of close races and ourgirls won them. That reallyhelped us win the meet.”

Sophomore Holly Chiricohad personal bests in boththe 200 IM and 500 freestyle(second) and sophomoreKayla Cervoni came throughwith a key second-place fin-

ish in the 100 backstroke forthe Redcoats.

Berlin also has victoriesover Plainville and theB u l k e l e y / H a r t f o r dPublic/Classic co-op teamthis season, but McCarthyknew the E.O. Smith meetwould hinge on the final me-ters.

“I told the girls to dig deepat the end and they sure did,”McCarthy said. “It was an ex-citing meet.”

McCarthy said Berlin’s re-lays have improved this sea-son, especially the 200 IM,and the Redcoats have the po-tential to top their 11th-placefinish in Class M last year.DeGroff and fellow fresh-man Emily Devivo havehelped the team’s depth afterlosing a handful of key per-formers.

“I expect a lot out of thisteam,” said McCarthy, whoshares the head-coaching po-sition with Chris Zagorski.“They’re a hard-workinggroup and they are extreme-ly motivated.”

Berlin travels to WindsorLocks on Friday to swimagainst the WindsorLocks/Ellington co-op teamafter a battle at rival Newing-ton on Wednesday. Berlinalso faces Farmington atMiss Porter’s School on Oct.9.

The Redcoats beat New-ington last year after drop-ping the 2010 contest.

“It should be another closemeet,” McCarthy said. “Wematch up really well againstthem.”

By Nick CarrollThe Berlin Citizen

Marc Bayram predictsmotorists travellingSouthington Road on thenight of Friday, Oct. 12 willdo a double-take when pass-ing Timberlin Golf Course.

The scene there will be,well, unusual.

Bayram, head profession-al at Timberlin, is keepingthe course open late thatevening for a night golftournament. And judgingby registration numbers,players are excited to hit

them along the way,” saidBayram, who pointed outthat, for safety reasons,golfers will wear a glow sticknecklace.

Bayram helped run a simi-lar tournament during histime at Shuttle MeadowCountry Club, and was confi-dent a night outing would be

just as well-received at Tim-berlin.

“There has been a seriousbuzz about the event, and Iam excited to host it,”Bayram said. “The event willbe a shock to anyone drivingdown Southington Road thatnight if they glance towardTimberlin.”

NotesContinued from page 29

the first Redcoats across thefinish line.

The beat goes on for thefootball team.

The Berlin gridders man-handled Tolland, 55-13, inWeek 3 to improve to 3-0.

Justin Gombotz and ScottMcLeod tallied three touch-downs apiece for the vic-tors, who led 41-6 at thebreak. Wojtus Zak scoredtwice for the Redcoats.

Tolland entered thematchup undefeated at 2-0.

His team came up shortagainst Maloney, 3-2, butveteran volleyball coachBob Tarigo liked the wayhis troops battled in theloss.

“The girls did a great job;they really did,” said Tari-go, pointing out that theLady Redcoats came backfrom a 2-0 deficit to forceGame 5. “What I was im-pressed about was the girlsdidn’t quit, and theyworked hard. They couldhave folded very easily. Thegirls really showed us some-thing, and if they continueto play the way they’ve beenplaying, we’re going to winquite a few games.”

Giorgia Rossetto contin-ues to shine for Berlin,which headed into this

week with a record of 3-3.An exchange student fromItaly, Rossetto had 33 digs,29 kills and 15 serve recep-tions against Maloney,which improved to 5-2.

“She’s really a leader onthe floor, by example,” Tari-go said of Rossetto, a sen-ior. “She has all the quali-ties – and I’ve heard thisfrom other coaches thatwe’ve played against – to be

one of the best players inthe area. She impressespeople when she plays.”

Dominika Wejda, KaileneRampone, Kristina Hag-meier and Alicia Maulealso have turned in goodwork for the Lady Redcoats.

“Overall I’m really, reallyimpressed with how we’redoing,” said Tarigo. “Wecould easily be 6-3 at theend of this week.”

Night golf coming to Timberlinthe links after sunset.

“We were going to limit thefield to 72 players, but aftertwo days, that was filled, andwe decided to cap it at 120players,” explained Bayram.“It is now four days after theblast e-mail was sent and weare officially filled. I am notsure there is another nightgolf event in the state aslarge as ours will be.”

How does one go aboutnavigating a golf course atnight? Bayram explainedthat each foursome will re-ceive six glow-in-the-darkballs, which light up whenstruck. Also, fairways will belined with glow sticks. Teeboxes, 150-yard markers, andpins will be illuminated withglow sticks as well.
