Sue Bronsard was one of over a dozen attendees at the pet adoption event put on by the Friends of Berlin Animal Control (FOBAC) held at Petsmart in Plainville

Aug. 24. Bronsard said that she was saddened when her Maine Coon cat of 16 years died Aug. 22, but she knew she wanted to adopt another.

“I have never not had a cat,” Bronsard said.

Stacey Beaupre, who works at an animal hospital

in Berlin, said she knew the perfect cat for Bronsard, a cat that she had personally brought in for FOBAC.

This cat is a gray dam whom Bronsard has not yet named, though Bronsard said

The Housing Authority is planning on opening up the waiting list for senior hous-ing in Berlin soon, according to Housing Authority Chair Joseph Bajorski. The wait-ing list has been closed since 2011.

Bajorski said the demand for senior housing in Berlin is great. “We generate about four to five calls per day to the housing authority,” Ba-jorski said.

According to Commission for the Aging Chair Barbara Gombotz, housing is one of the largest needs for seniors in town, as are parking im-provements to the Senior Center.

At the town’s current se-nior housing project, Mar-jorie Moore Village, seniors dwell in 40 units located near the Berlin-Peck Memorial Li-brary and Town Hall.

“The people are so happy there, they’re secure, and they have good companionship,” Gombotz said. “It’s a great situation. That’s why I’m anx-ious to see more subsidized housing for our elders.”

Gombotz said that rents go up every year, and many seniors are living on a fixed income. “There are calls I get saying that social secu-rity doesn’t go up by $50 ev-ery year, but their rents do,” Gombotz said.

After three years since it was last open, Bajorski said he expects the waiting list for Marjorie Moore Village to fill up rapidly.

When the waiting list isn’t open, all the Housing Author-ity can do with the calls it re-ceives is direct residents to subsidized housing in places like Middletown, Newington, and New Britain.

The Housing Authority hopes to move forward with a senior housing project at the old Knights of Colum-bus property on Percival Road. The Housing Author-ity approached the Planning and Zoning Commission last month with a request to update the senior housing building regulations before assembling a site plan and discussing the plans with nearby residents.

Neighbors to the prop-erty on Percival Avenue who heard about the project said

that they opposed the build-ing of a “three-story mon-strosity” as some of them called the preliminary design during the Planning and Zon-ing meeting. Among changes to housing authority regula-tions requested is an increase in the height limit that would allow a three-story senior housing complex.

Planning and Zoning was scheduled to vote on the change in regulations this month, but the meeting was canceled due to a lack of quorum.

According to Bajorski, the Knights of Columbus prop-erty is the only site currently under consideration to con-struct more senior housing. “All our efforts are focused on getting this project off the ground, leased and occupied. Until that happens I don’t see the housing authority moving forward (on anything else) unless something falls into our lap.”

Gombotz said that more af-fordable housing is important to local seniors. “It’s not good for people to have to move out of town when they’ve lived here all their lives,” Gombotz said.

School police officers from around the state gathered at the Southington police de-partment for a weeklong training session.

About 25 officers par-ticipated, including Berlin school resource officer Ste-ven Kostka and South ington school resource officer Tom Gallo.

Elliot B. Spector, president of the company that led the training, said the focus was on teaching officers to build relationships with students.

Other topics included deal-ing with teenagers, bullying and new juvenile laws.

In Southington, one officer is assigned to the high school and Gallo is assigned to the two middle schools. South-ington has a DARE program at the elementary schools.

“It acts as kind of the same thing,” Gallo said about the DARE program and the school resource officer posi-tion. “They educate and talk to the children. The teach-ers and staff use them as a resource.”

Gallo said training on the use of the internet by teens and new laws was most

helpful.Speaker Frank Carino, su-

pervisory assistant state’s at-torney, recommended officers check daily on any domestic incidents involving children in the school.

Carino said if there is an incident involving a child or the family, the officer should watch for any behaviors out of the ordinary.

Police station: A responsibility for public safetyAs we consider the cur-

rent condition of our police station and the discussion concerning whether or not we should commit funding to the construction of a new facility, the primary concern of taxpayers is cost. No one

wants to spend more money and everyone would like to avoid unnecessary spending.

But as a town government, we have certain responsibil-ities. One of those responsi-bilities is to provide for the public safety of our citizens and to provide the neces-sary equipment to protect

our police officers in the line of duty. The truth is that our police station, built in 1974, is too small and no longer meets the needs of our po-lice department in their ef-forts to meet the demands of law enforcement and public safety.

The elected Police Com-mission originally submitted a “Statement of Need” for a new police station in 2008. The Public Building Com-mission, Police Commission and the Town Council have been working together since 2010 to plan for the construc-tion of a new station. Reno-vation of the current station was considered, but deter-mined to not be feasible. Several other locations were considered as a possible site,

but it was ultimately deter-mined by previous councils and police commissions that the current proposed loca-tion was most suitable and met the “Statement of Need.”

Not only was the proposed Farmington Avenue loca-tion preferable from a pub-lic safety perspective, but it is also a key component of the long range plan for our town center. Renovation of the existing buildings on Farmington Avenue was also considered, but determined to be unfeasible given the “Statement of Need.”

In 2011 Town Council voted unanimously to au-thorize bonding of $2 million to purchase the Farming-ton Avenue property, to pay for demolition of the ex-isting buildings and to pay the cost of designing a new police station to be located on the Farmington Avenue property. Mayor Rochette, Councilman Dave Evans and I were members of the Town Council that voted unani-mously to approve this fund-

ing and move forward with the project.

The current proposal for construction of a new po-lice station is the result of an ongoing effort by several elected and appointed gov-ernmental bodies including the Police Commission, Pub-lic Building Commission and Town Council.

I encourage every citizen to view the proposed plan for a new police station and attend an informational ses-sion to help them make a decision on whether or not they are in favor of the plan as presented. Personally, I am in full support of the project and I am hopeful that voters will also support it.

Bill Rasmussen is Deputy Mayor on the Berlin Town Council.

letes, and seeks to include the student-athletes them-selves in the conflict resolu-tion process. Establishing a clear chain of command was one of the changes called for by the Berlin Interscholastic Coaches Association.

One Board of Education member praised Benigni for his leadership as part of the committee, saying that it was a large group of people with “strong personalities” who had a chance for their views to be heard. Benigni was said

to have provided a “very fo-cused, calm atmosphere.”

Board of Education Pres-ident Gary Brochu raised some concerns regarding the policy change. “This policy can’t be seen in any way cir-cumventing state law,” Bro-chu said, continuing that the policy should be very clear that the chain of command discussed does not necessar-ily apply in situations of bul-lying or abuse. It is important that the policy is very clear, as school district employees are legally mandated report-ers, Brochu said. Benigni said

that the policy may be clari-fied to address this concern.

If students are not com-fortable approaching a coach or team captain directly with a concern, they may then proceed to speak to the ath-letic director. However, in cases of bullying, students may speak to whomever they feel comfortable. For exam-ple, if a football player has better rapport with the cross country coach, he or she may speak to that coach.

Other changes at the dis-trict include a shift to direct deposit for all new employ-ees, to eliminate the need for printed pay stubs. “Good, more efficiency,” Brochu said.

The new website was praised by Benigni as “leaps and bounds” ahead of the old website. The new website design features more con-sistency between schools, which used to have more in-dividualized website design.

Director of Business Oper-ations Roman Czuchta said in a phone interview that the website is still under construction. “We’re very pleased with the product we have out there and I think it is going to serve the commu-nity and the Board of Educa-tion well,” Czuchta said.

The new website also fea-tures a video message from the superintendent.

Director of Special Educa-tion Linda Holian said during the meeting that the district’s number of children with Special Education needs has been increasing. “We’re probably up 35-40 kids,” Ho-lian said.

According to Superin-tendent David Erwin, the schools are prepared to open as scheduled. However, the district is “a bit behind the 8 ball” due to the recent and unexpected resignation of two teachers. The district lost a math teacher who is leaving the teaching profes-sion, as well as a specialist at Griswold who is taking a po-sition closer to home. Erwin said both teachers held diffi-cult-to-obtain certifications, and as a result the district will be filling staffing needs “right to the very last minute this year,” which is unusual, the superintendent said.

Crash

the vehicle involved in the crash.

As the Record-Journal reported, 45 people were aboard the train and five suf-fered injuries as a result of the crash, including the driver of a tree-trimming truck that was flipped over when the train struck the wood chipper trailer attached to the truck.

Prior to the crash, the tree-trimming crew was try-ing to turn around, but got stuck because a private-ly-owned metal gate along the tracks was locked, Gov. Dannel Malloy said during a press conference June 23. The gate prevents public access to Silver Lake.

According to Schulz, the train crossing where the in-cident occurred is private-ly-owned, and therefore Amtrak is not able to make any improvements to “that crossing, specifically.”

It is estimated that the Rail-road Administration investi-gation will be completed by the end of September. At this point, the results of their in-vestigation will be available to Freedom of Information Act requests, according to officials.

“The driver of the truck... was still trying to move that truck off of the tracks when the accident happened,” Ber-lin Fire Chief James Simon said the day of the incident.

The same month the crash occurred, Amtrak put out a

press release promoting In-ternational Level Crossing Awareness Day. Amtrak pro-moted a campaign with the slogan “See Tracks? Think Train” to raise awareness of railroad crossing safety. The campaign warned drivers not to try to beat a train across

the tracks. According to a report Am-

trak released, Connecticut saw only two fatalities in train crossing related acci-dents over the past two years, along with a total of three in-juries and five casualties.

FOBAC

she was considering calling her Ghost. “Ghost” was kit-tening when she was rescued as a stray by Beaupre. Bron-sard said she was looking for a cat who would be good with children, and Ghost was a great match.

When she learned Ghost would be at the adoption event, Bronsard rushed over to sign adoption papers af-ter getting acquainted, along with her son, Seth.

“I think it’s great,” said at-tendee Janet Rocco, who said

she prefers to adopt shelter pets who are in need of a good home.

“I believe in saving an ani-mal that might be put down, as opposed to getting one bred in a mill,” agreed Me-lissa Tole.

According to FOBAC member Concetta Berar-dozzi, the turnout for the event was very good, though “not our busiest.”

FOBAC is a no-kill non-profit dedicated to part-nering with the Berlin municipal animal shelter to provide homes for animals.

Although the group doesn’t have a physical shelter of their own, they run a foster home program and adop-tion events. Also, FOBAC’s veterinarian regularly visits the municipal animal shelter.

According to FOBAC President Lynn Frigault, the shelter is currently seeking donations to help them stock their pet food pantry, which helps families in need care for their pets. Items needed include both dry and canned cat and dog food, treats, chew bones, dog leashes, cat and dog toys, and cat beds. The nonprofit organization also needs a few more spe-cific items, including Purina One cat food for cats with urinary tract problems and Purina One cat food for kit-tens, as well as Feliway spray or Feliway diffuser.

A sincere thanksTo the editor:Not long ago, my husband

learned of the Berlin Vet-erans Commission sale of bricks for Veterans Park near Stop & Shop. For a nominal fee, the purchased bricks were engraved with name, rank, capacity served and war served in. At the time, my then father-in-law, Bill, was gravely ill. My husband Scott, and his brother Jaye, decided to purchase a brick honoring his service. When the brick was placed, Bill had the chance to view that honor first hand. It was a moment he was very proud of and his sons will never forget.

It has been a year since Bill has passed, and I, on behalf of my brothers and sisters, have

purchased a similar brick to designate my father’s service.

Though they had served in the same war, it wasn’t until recently, through the shared family functions, that our two dads became friends. In each other they found a kindred spirit, sharing war experi-ences and swapping stories of the way it was.

Recently I received a call from Tom, on the Veterans Commission, advising me my father’s brick had arrived and was placed at Veterans Park. Somehow the commis-sion had learned that the two men were linked together as father-in-laws and managed to arrange for Bill’s brick to be moved and placed next to my dad’s.

This is the week Geo-caching really caught me in its spell: I captured three caches as I went about my week, while waiting for a government meeting, or just along my commute. I also finally picked up my

Thanks

That simple, thoughtful gesture brought tears to my eyes, leaving me speechless. I know there is no way I could possibly thank the Veterans Commission for this incred-ible act of kindness. But I do want to thank them, from the

very bottom of our hearts.Thank you, Bill (Veley).

Thank you, Ed (Dutkiewicz). Th a n k yo u , Ve te ra n s Commission.

Cache

enormously tricky to locate without a clue that led me directly to the park bench it was attached to.

This week we headed to Plainville, home of The Pla-inville Citizen, after getting some sage advice from vet-eran Geocachers.

Firefighter Skippy, one of the top Geocachers in the area with more than 20,000 finds to his name, gave me a rundown of what the typical small and “micro” caches look like. Typical containers for these include old med-icine bottles, waterproof matchstick containers, and bison tubes – containers originally used to carry pills on keychains that have been nicknamed after the capsule containers sold by Bison Manufacturing.

There are some truly devious methods of hid-ing caches out there. Many use little plastic containers that can hold strips of log-book paper known as “pico tubes.” Skippy said he’s seen caches in golf balls hid-den at driving ranges, and caches hidden underneath what looks like a piece of as-phalt partially buried among pieces of broken pavement. Some Geocaching contain-ers disguise themselves as rocks, pieces of wood, or mushrooms.

There are even caches with five-star difficulty rat-ings that require special equipment to access, such as SCUBA gear. You can see videos on YouTube of me-

chanical caches that require a battery to open using a mechanism that raises and lowers the cache container.

According to some vet-erans, a GPS device with greater accuracy than a smartphone can be very useful in locating urban caches, which tend to be small, micro, or nano. If the cache has a helpful hint, it can make them much eas-ier to find, and in my expe-rience, a useful hint makes a smartphone just accurate enough to find caches of one- and two-star difficulty. Knowing what type of items you’re looking for can be

immensely helpful in find-ing these.

You develop a sense for the types of places caches are hidden after a while,

Kennedy said. Firefighter Skippy, who

helped me find an urban cache I missed my first week out, said that it can sometimes be helpful to run fingers underneath sur-faces, poking around for something that feels like it doesn’t belong. He found the cache in almost less than a minute, pulling a hide-a-key box seemingly from thin air.

After tutelage from our own Yodas, HisGirlFri-

day and I (YFNReporter) headed to Plainville, bring-ing my younger siblings, age 12 and 13, along for the adventure.

This was my first time back in Plainville since I filled in with stories about the town’s annual budget process earlier this year.

We had our most suc-cessful caching day thus far, with four finds, including many in Paderewski Park,

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

Berlin VNA highly ratedThe Berlin Visiting Nurse

Association was recently rec-ognized among the top 25 percent for patient care satis-faction nationally, according to Linda Colella, director of the Berlin VNA.

The organization’s home care service is evaluated with criteria as that of comparable agencies across the nation. According to Colella, “we are always striving to improve our quality of care standards. One important training the nurses participated in was the ‘Integrated Chronic Care Disease Management’ series. This program focused on col-laboratively working with the

patient to establish mutual goals between the nurse and the patient. This ultimately will produce positive pa-tient outcomes and decrease re-hospitalization. Currently our re-hospitalization rate is 13 percent compared to 16 percent as the national reference.”

The Berlin VNA, which has been in existence since 1926, offers a number of services, skilled nursing, speech ther-apy, physical therapy, occupa-tional therapy, medical social worker, homemakers and home health aides. Staff also participates in wellness pro-grams, offering blood pres-sure screening and flu clinics.

Some Strauss & Geography 101, please

The coming of the foot-ball season has always been a treasured segment of the sports calendar to me.

The humidity of summer departs and the sweater weather brings thoughts of the apple cider, chrysanthe-mums and my deck illumi-nated by the harvest moon. Football remains such a vi-

brant part of that, but for how much longer I’m not sure.

After watching Saturday night’s so-called exhi-bition game between the Giants and Colts, thoughts turned toward my mind’s tug-of-war between football and soccer.

Football is an American tradition, the likes of which I’ve always favored, but when harvest time came a mite early I found myself pining for the World Cup. The brilliant yellows illumi-nating the field at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis that my eyes have been trained to recognize as maple leaves were of a man-made nature.

Forgetting to consider

that maple leaves wouldn’t be falling inside a dome anyway, these were far from welcome sights as they flew in dizzying numbers from the belts of game officials.

Football, which lacks flu-idity by nature because of its stop-and-go, huddle-up framework, is prone to be-come nearly unwatchable. If the referees aren’t headed to the video tape while the league and televisions networks rack up more commercial spots, they’re nullifying plays due to don’t-touch-him infractions.

Allow me to put it all in musical terms.

Football, which once marched to the syncopated beat of a John Philip Sousa masterpiece, has devolved into a never-ending stac-cato of discordant segments about as melodic as finger-

CHESHIRE – The Connecticut Interscho-lastic Athletic Confer-ence launched a new website within CIAC-sports.com aimed at concussion education for schools, athletes and parents called Concus-sion Central. The site located at concussion-central.ciacsports.com has vital information and resources on con-cussions designed for all high school sports constituents.

A link to the site will be featured prominently at CIACsports.com.

The CIAC launched the new site following changes to its own pol-icies as well as recently passed legislation requir-ing athletic departments to provide concussion education and paren-tal and student consent. The site is designed to provide in-depth tools to aide in the education process, explain the var-ious requirements of the new legislation and CIAC policy, and contain all concussion-related materials in one place.

“The health and safety of student-athletes has always been a top pri-ority for this organiza-tion, and we hope this enhanced website will prove invaluable for our constituents as we all work together in an ef-fort to address the chal-lenges posed by brain injuries in athletics,” stated CAS-CIAC Exec-utive Director Karissa Niehoff.

The new site provides information about the recently passed concus-sion education laws, as well as the CIAC by-law changes regarding con-cussion education.

HARTFORD ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION CLINIC

Local Doctors Restore Men’s Sex Life

BY TOM SCHILLERMen’s Health

HARTFORD • A new medical clinic staffed by local physicians has opened in Hartford recently specializing in only one unique, niche area–men’s sexual performance. The Yale Clinic has an amazing offer - first 37 callers receive a free in-office medication dose.

Erectile dysfunction and premature ejaculation have long been a problem for millions of men in spite of the popularity of Viagra, Levitra and Cialis. Many men either are not helped by these medica-tions or cannot take them due to medical conditions and adverse side effects.

According to The Yale Clinic™ of Connecticut’s Medical Director, Dr. M. Sheldon Polsky, Board Certified Urologist and author of ‘Seven Secrets Doctors and Drug Companies Won’t Tell You About Erectile Dysfunction,’ “Our doctors offer a proven treatment with over two hundred doses of custom blended prescription medication that can help virtually all men regardless of their age or medical history, including men as young as twenty-one to well into their nineties, with diabetes, heart conditions,

prostate cancer, and high blood pressure. All drugs are FDA approved, no sur-gery is involved and patients will see a licensed Connecticut Physician”

Referred to as “the gold standard,” by the International Journal of Impotence Research, “Our treatment allows our local doctors to adjust the dosage for a man’s performance to 45-minutes, an hour, even 90-minutes,” according to Dr. Polsky, “and patients see immediate results in the office. We offer a simple guarantee: ‘If you don’t respond to our medication on the first visit there’s no charge.”

With that guarantee, local patients have nothing to lose. The Yale Clinic books appointments far in advance but occasionally can accommodate someone quickly. Yale assures patients of utmost privacy and professionalism and has private waiting rooms and an all-male staff. Further information is available by calling (203) 290-2155.

nails being forcibly dragged across a blackboard.

Meanwhile soccer, with its consistent flow and ele-gant collaborations, is akin to the melodious strains of “The Blue Danube.” In-terconnected and smooth always trumps choppy and detached, when it comes to listening to mu-sic and describing games in newspapers.

Where I’m headed with this is that the NFL would be best suited to spit-can its accelerated restrictions on defensive backs or I’ll find something more logical to do with my Sundays from September through January.

That segues into the col-lege version of America’s irrational pastime.

Last time I looked, our great universities were com-manding princely sums in the $50,000-per-year range in order to organize and train fertile young fertile minds as they prepare for life’s illogical path.

If their football decisions are any indication of what they’re offering students, I’ll urge my kids to enlist in the military or learn a trade.

Two areas in which the outmoded NCAA can use re-fresher courses are logistics and geography.

The Big Ten now has 14 members. That’s okay because the Big 12 has 10. Perhaps Horace Greeley’s advice in 1850, “Go West, young man, go West,” is ap-propriate when you consider

that the PAC-12 indeed has 12 schools.

Divisions have been estab-lished in several of the major conferences, most of which are named geographically.

Take the great Atlantic Coast Conference, its name itself an anomaly since Lou-isville is about as far away from a coast (except the Ohio River shoreline) that an American city can get.

Louisville is in the Atlan-

tic Division, just a fly pattern away from the Jersey Shore. Pittsburgh is in the Coastal Division. Here’s a memo to Pittsburghers – be prepared for tidal waves. If you’re looking to live in the Steel City, I know a reputable real estate agent who gladly will sell you some oceanfront property.

The Big Ten, always perceived as the stan-dard-bearer of football Mid-western style, now includes Maryland, Penn State and

Rutgers. Rutgers? By the way, what hap-

pened to the Big Ten’s prior divisional arrangement that featured the Leaders and Legends groupings? Yes, you’d have to have a degree from accredited university to come up with that, never mind have it sanctioned by some committee in which I presume all the schools would be represented.

The Southeastern Con-ference includes Arkansas and Texas A&M, once cor-

nerstones of the Southwest Conference. Can you truly be both?

Idaho is a member of the Sun Belt Conference. Will anybody in the Sun Belt’s administrative offices be em-barrassed if a football game has to be delayed due to a Rocky Mountain snowstorm? No problem, the sun always shines in the Sun Belt.

I have a particular bias for the Mid-American Conference because I at-tended Ohio University.

When my beloved Battling Bobcats took the field in the early 1970s, the circuit included Bowling Green, Miami, Kent State, Toledo, and Western Michigan — a nice mix of Mid-American representatives.

I look at the roster now and see Massachusetts and Buffalo. I guess I just didn’t realize that the Common-wealth of Massachusetts and State of New York consid-ered themselves Middle American.

$50,000? No thanks, and while my son is doing some-thing sensible like learning a trade, I’ll satisfy my love for football by watching the high schools.

Cache

which has sports fields, a great playground featuring a splash pad and a beautiful stretch of woods around a pond stocked for fishing.

My sister in particular re-ally took to caching.

With four sets of eyes, I sometimes hardly had a chance to really look for a cache before one of them found it.

Although Paderewski Park had only small-sized Geocache, with their help we found the largest cache we’ve ever looked for off of a hiking trail just south of Plainville.

The swag in caches like these is one of the biggest sources of appeal to kid cachers – though, as my sis-

ter pointedly pointed out, she is, in fact, a teenager.

For families consider-ing trying out caching for the first time, I’d definitely recommend seeking out a medium-size cache and bringing along a couple of toys that your children ar-en’t so keen about anymore.

The thrill of trading an old toy for, say, the batman figurine or the Pokémon cards we found in this cache, will certainly be ex-citing for children.

Make sure the kids have experience hiking safely and that you take all the necessary precautions be-fore you take them out.

It may be good to know that caches with a terrain difficulty of one-star usually don’t require leaving the

beaten path, but two stars and above may require you to bushwhack your way to your quarry.

This is often where the largest caches with the best swag are hidden, as placing them too close to the trail increased the likelihood they will be messed with by Geocaching “muggles,” as many call non-cachers who may interfere with or throw away caches.
