67th annual fair ends on a high noteWhile Mother Nature
didn’t bestow perfect weather upon the Berlin Fair, the ol’ gal certainly came through on Sunday.
After a soggy Friday and Saturday, the final day of the 67th annual extravaganza was picture-perfect, draw-ing a big crowd to the Lions Fairgrounds on Beckley Road. With clear skies overhead and a chill in the air, fair-go-ers lined up for rides, good eats, and all the event had to o�er.

ticket-takers were hard at work. “They’re already com-ing in 10 times more than they had been.”
A popular feature during the mostly-wet weekend was
the 9/11 Never Forget Mobile Exhibit, which honors one of the victims of the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attack, Ste-phen Siller, a New York City firefighter.
Sunday morning, folks walking out of the 80-foot long trailer in which the 9/11 exhibit resides, mostly had a somber look about them.

Young Marine sisters earn life saving award
It was just another August judo class for local sisters Mary, Madeline and Christi-ana Morley, an active bunch, studying multiple martial arts styles and with accolades
ranging from state champion-ship wrestler to completion of a Young Marines training camp.
The girls attend Berlin High School, McGee Middle School and Hubbard Elemen-tary School.
That evening, only a few
people were at Valiant Mar-tial Arts on 314 New Britain Road for a semi-private class. The practice was suddenly interrupted when a man in his 60s collapsed.
“I remember, they noticed he didn’t get back up,” the girls’ father, Frederick Mor-
ley, recalled. The girls asked the man if he was all right, and he began to convulse. “He was vomiting and seiz-ing hard ... It was pretty bad.”

on the phone the girls made sure the emergency response team could ask crucial ques-tions relating to his medical history.
The man is reportedly alive but has not yet completely recovered from the apparent stroke.
The way the girls kept cool under pressure as they as-sisted the adults during the emergency impressed Valiant instructor Karol Steczkowski, who said it was an “act of true heroism,” remarking on how the sisters quickly “sprung into action and called for help,” as well as aiding in “making the gentleman com-fortable until the paramedics arrived.”
“I was really impressed,” Frederick Morley said. “They
were a really big help and I’m proud of them.”
Speaking to this reporter, the girls were modest – It was just in a day’s work to these Young Marines.
“We just knew he needed help,” Christiana, grade 6, said. “In the Young Marines we learn to keep a clear mind in an emergency.”
Mary, grade 5, added that she was glad the sisters “were able to help the gentleman out,” and that they hope he “starts feeling better fast.”
Madeline, grade 9, said that it was nice to be recognized, “but we just want to be good citizens and good people.”
The sta� at Valiant Martial Arts were so impressed by the girls that they wrote to the Young Marines on their behalf. The Young Marines awarded each of the Morley sisters the prestigious Life Saving Ribbon Award in the 3rd Degree, including a cer-tificate signed by Michael B. Kessler, the National Execu-tive Director and CEO of the Young Marines organization. The girls also received two custom challenge coins.
The girls “truly exemplified the spirit at the heart of our martial arts curriculum and the philosophy of judo that we strive to impart on each and every one of our stu-dents,” Steczkowski said.
As one local martial art-ist continues to recover, one thing is certain – the com-munity is a little safer with young women like these ready to spring into action during a crisis.

Plainville Stadium reunion is coming to town
The seventh annual Plain-ville Stadium reunion will be held Saturday, Oct. 10, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., at the Ber-lin Lions Fairgrounds located at 430 Beckley Road, East Berlin.
Fans and drivers alike can relive the glory days of rac-ing in Plainville through ex-hibits dedicated to the old track. Former racers, crew members, and track person-nel will be on hand to meet visitors and reunite with old friends.
The racing at the quar-ter-mile oval will be re-membered at the Berlin fairgrounds through vintage racing cars on display.
For decades, the stadium hosted big names in the rac-
ing world such as; Denny Zimmerman, “Steady Eddie” Flemke, Don Moon, and track
champ Dave Alkas. Former NASCAR racer Reggie Rug-giero also took several win-ning laps at the track.
The stadium, formerly Tinty’s Flying Ranch, opened in the late 1940’s and closed in the early 80’s. Today, where race cars once revved up near I-84, now sits a plaza consist-ing of Lowes Theater, Kohls, and Marshalls, among other stores and restaurants.
Gary Bienkowski, chair-man of the reunion event and one of five organizers, raced on the track during the last two years before the stadium
went silent.“It’s unique. All the pre-
vious drivers, they just look forward to seeing everybody again because as years go on priorities change and people move,” he said.
Living outside of Connecti-cut doesn’t stop fans and drivers from making the trip for the reunion, as many have done in past years.
“Every year there’s always a new story to tell,” Bienkow-ski said.
Fans will be able to see their favorite original or replica cars that raced through the years. New this year will be

The Lions Club was, of course, ever-present this past weekend. One of the club’s missions is promoting eye health, and at the fair, the Lions ran a booth providing quick, free vision screenings to youngsters.
“We’re targeting kids that are five months to six years old with the five most com-mon disorders. And the neat thing about it is, if the condi-tion is detected and corrected by the age of seven, the optic nerve will actually teach the brain how to see correctly,” said Lion Dan Uitti. “And the child won’t have to wear glasses for the rest of their life.”
The Lions first became eye health advocates thanks to a 1925 meeting with American author, political activist and lecturer Helen Keller, who was deaf and blind.
“Helen Keller told the Li-ons there’s a big need for serving the blind,” Marty Sandshaw, another Lion, ex-plained. “So this is what we’re doing. We’re trying to pre-vent blindness.”
Being that an election is just weeks away, local Repub-licans and Democrats were happy to spread their mes-sage at the fair.
Having been out of power for more than a decade, the Berlin GOP is eager to regain the reins of the Town Council in November. Local Republi-
cans were at their fair table early Sunday, next to a big “Stop High Taxes” sign.
“If you look at the pro-portion of Democrats to Re-publicans to Independents in this town, we’re definitely in the minority,” Anne Reilly, chair of the Republican Town Committee, said.
But even though her team is outnumbered, Reilly feels the town is ready for a change.
“It’s like the boiling pot of water; it’s been slowly sim-mering, simmering, simmer-ing. And it’s finally boiling, and people are seeing this has gotten ridiculous,” Reilly said. “I think that’s what’s happening.”
Just yards away from where the Berlin GOP was situated at the fair, was the town Dem-ocrats’ home for the weekend. While the Democrats had yet to open up shop when The
Citizen stopped by Sunday morning, their sign, “Con-tinue Good Government,” gave passers-by something to think about.

After a few months of blue skies and warm temperatures, summer revelers will soon bid adieu to the sultry days of this beloved season. Summer is often a season filled with vacations and recreation, but as the warm days dwindle and work and school com-mitments begin anew, there is additional work to be done in preparation for the months ahead.
Stock up on pool equip-ment - Homeowners who have pools can take advan-tage of end-of-season sales to purchase a few more gallons of pool chlorine or other pool equipment. Store them after you have winterized the pool, and you will be ahead of the game in terms of supplies for next year.
Plan your garden harvest - If you have a backyard gar-
den, pick your tomatoes and other vegetables before the weather starts to get chilly. Herbs can be washed and frozen in zipper-top baggies so they can be used when cooking over the next several months. Boil tomatoes for sauce and freeze or jar them. Begin to clear out residual stems and plant debris from the garden.
Clean patios and furniture - Scrub and hose down out-door furniture, cushions and living areas. Clean and dry items before storing them for the winter, so everything is ready to go when the warm weather returns next year.
Purchase spring bulbs- Buy bulbs for spring-blooming flowers and map out where they will be planted for beau-tiful flowers next year. Wait until temperatures start to
dip before planting the bulbs, otherwise they may begin to produce shoots prematurely, zapping the bulbs of energy.
Check the heating system - Although turning on the heat may be the last thing you’re thinking about, it’s a good idea to test it and, if neces-sary, have the system ser-viced prior to the arrival of cold weather.
Tend to the deck and other repairs - Make repairs to out-door structures now, and they’ll be more likely to sur-vive the harsh weather that’s just over the horizon. Apply stain or sealant to further protect wood structures in advance of snow and ice.
Examine the roof and chim-ney - Winter is a poor time to learn you have missing roof

ObituariesNEW BRITAIN — Mary
Ann (Andreachio) Esernia, 90, beloved wife of the late Louis W. Esernia, passed away Sunday, Sept. 27, 2015, at Arbor Rose, Je-rome Home, New Britain,
where she resided the past eight years.
Born and raised in New Britain where she a t t e n d e d
local schools, her family moved to Kensington in 1959, and she co-founded Connecticut Fast Freight with Louis where she served in several adminis-trative roles for many years while balancing a devoted effort to raising her chil-dren. Mary’s cooking and baking expertise were a joy for family and friends throughout the years, es-pecially at holiday times. She was a member of St. Paul’s Church and the St. Paul’s Ladies Guild, the Lady Red Birds of the Red Hat Society, and AARP 3035 of Berlin.
She is survived by two sons and their spouses, Anthony and Joyce Eser-
nia, of Scottsdale, Ariz., and Dennis and Priscilla Esernia, of East Berlin; her beloved grandchildren, Lori, Michael, and Jill Es-ernia; a devoted and loving sister, Rose Wollman; sev-eral dear cousins; nieces and nephews; a sister-in-law, Jackie Etheridge and her husband, Jim; and her friends at Arbor Rose. She was predeceased by a brother, Ralph Andreachio.
Mary’s family would like to thank all of the wonder-ful staff at Arbor Rose and Jerome Home who pro-vided such a vibrant and caring atmosphere for their residents.
Funeral services were held Tuesday, Sept. 29, from Porter’s Funeral Home, 111 Chamberlain Highway, Berlin, with a fu-neral liturgy at St. Paul’s Church.

Opinion
A true saver?To the editor:In his recent letter, Repub-
lican Councilor David Evans states, “Admittedly, I am a saver.” I would like to shed some light on the council-or’s position on issues which contradict this.
Evans voted no to a tax sale program which gen-erated over $300,000 in revenue from delinquent tax-payers. He voted no to accepting grants from the state via the Small Town Economic Assistance Pro-gram. He voted no to ac-cepting a state grant of $11,000,000 to o�set the cost of renovating Berlin High School. And he supported a capital improvement proj-ect to put an elevator in the Worthington Meeting House. The cost of this proj-ect was estimated to be over $1,000,000.
These votes saved money?Bill RasmussenDeputy Mayor
Rewriting history
To the editor:Time and time again all
we hear about is how a past Republican-controlled coun-cil did not properly fund education in Berlin for one year. Conveniently, in a elec-tion year, Mr. Jortner failed to point out that for ap-proximately five years (1977 through 1982); three strong Democrat mayors in a row (Art Powers, Ida Ragazzi and Tom Ward) presided over budgets that did not
fund programs at our mid-dle school, including sports programs.
Bob PetersFormer Mayor
Tax change
To the editor:The Town of Berlin has
a golden opportunity to change its real estate tax payment system due to a fis-cal year surplus.
The finance director and town manager should de-vise a tax payment system from a single installment to semi-annual tax payments. If presented to the Town Council for approval, and enacted, there will be many thankful Berlin taxpayers.
William WixonKensington
Better to pay twice
To the editor:I saw the town is look-
ing into a pay twice prop-erty tax. I think the town would have more satisfied citizens. I also heard some of the high-ranking o�cials say that will drop the inter-est too much, which is false, since the interest rate is so low it wouldn’t even be felt by any one!
Jay RitterBerlin
Time for a change
To the editor:Several months ago we
had a referendum regarding the cost of building new or renovating BHS. The cost
was varying, but we finally voted on $69 million. From the outside, the school looks good, but at what cost? Close to $100 million. Why? Be-cause the Democrats wanted it.
Now I look at the empty property on Farmington Av-enue where there was some thought about putting up a new police complex. There was a cost of $21 million, and, again, a referendum which cut that down. Watch out though; if the Democrats decide they want it, no mat-ter what the voters say, they will do it anyway.
Richard A. RamponeFormer Town Councilor
An a�uent town?
To the editor:During the May 5 Town
Council meeting to set the budget, Mayor Rachel Rochette stated that Ber-lin is “an a¢uent town,” an arrogant value judgment, meaning that you can eas-ily absorb any tax increase. Berlin’s per capita income, at roughly $38,700 and me-dian household income at $87,400, ranks us 85th and 59th, respectively, in the state. Hardly “a¢uent.”
Remember in November to vote for the Republican’s; Brenden Luddy, Dave Evans, Charlie Paonessa and Mark Kaczynski, and we will re-spect your votes.

S t a t e R e p . C a t h y Abercrombie (D-Berlin/Meriden) has been rec-ognized by the Connecti-cut League of Conservation Voters for her 100 percent support of environmental legislation during the 2015 legislative session.
CTLCV’s Environmen-tal Scorecard assesses both lawmakers’ votes on envi-ronmental legislation and their roles in championing specific issues.
Environmental issues this year included banning mi-crobeads, encouraging res-
idential solar, reducing pesticide use on municipal playgrounds, preserving the fiscal sustainability of state parks, open space and various clean water projects.

After two bears were eu-thanized at Sessions Woods in Burlington in September, state wildlife officials say they will continue with edu-cation e�orts to help the an-imals and humans peacefully and safely co-exist.
An outreach biologist with the Department of Energy and Environmental Protec-tion, forestry division, Kathy Herz said, DEEP “continues to get calls just about every day in regards to sightings.”
Herz noted that bears typi-cally don’t go into hibernation until sometime in November, and this depends on when it gets cold. If it stays warmer and food is available they will stay active. “Once it gets cold they will go into their winter sleep,” she said.
The encounter between
a bear and a woman hiking at the Sessions Woods, “is raising important questions about how DEEP is manag-ing a growing bear popula-tion,” according to a DEEP press release.
Between Sept. 10, 2014 and Sept. 8 this year, there were 33 reports of bears in Plain-ville. That’s not surprising as the town borders Farming-ton (in close proximity to the state’s northwestern woods) where 254 bear sightings were reported in this time period. Burlington, with 322 sightings tops all towns in the state. Moving away from that somewhat wilder corner of Connecticut, the statistic go down. Berlin reports 19 sight-ings; Cheshire, 9; Middlefield and Durham combined, 5; and North Haven, 2.

Bears
ular destination for local hiking and other outdoor ac-tivities and trails were closed temporarily after the Sept. 1 incident during which a male bear that had “exhibited bold and aggressive behavior to-ward a hiker” was eutha-nized, according to a press release from DEEP. O�cials said a female bear also was killed later that day after “it charged one of the two DEEP Wildlife Division sta people that were on the scene.”
When o�cials closed the trails, they described the move as “due to ongoing lev-els of unusually high bear ac-tivity in the area.” The trails are now open.
DEEP stated it took action to euthanize the male bear because of the threat it pre-sented to public safety due to
the previous behavior of the bear. O�cials said the agen-cy’s wildlife biologists talked to the woman who had en-countered the bear and ana-lyzed video she’d taken.
The bear followed a woman, who was hiking, at Sessions Woods for an ex-tended period of time, cir-cling her, and even putting its mouth on her calf. DEEP had previously relocated the bear, which was tagged, to the perimeter fence at Brad-ley International Airport in June. Later that month, it at-tempted to follow a woman into a building in Windsor. In July, it showed up at a yard in Granby and “we sus-pect that it entered the home there,” according to the press release.
Necropsies will be con-ducted on both bears to de-termine their condition to
see if any abnormalities could have contributed to their un-usual aggressive behavior.
“This is not a decision made lightly. DEEP sta has the utmost respect for the wildlife of our state,” accord-ing to a DEEP statement that also referred to the many sit-uations in which the agency rescued and relocated ani-mals. “There are occasions, like this one, however, when stronger action must be taken to protect the safety of the public. While we appreciate your concerns, imagine the public outcry that would de-velop if no eort was made to locate and euthanize this bear and in another future encounter it actually harms someone,” according to the press release.
Herz said that while there were some concerns voiced from the public, about the DEEP’s action, it was a small minority.
She told The Citizen about numerous eorts wildlife ex-perts are using to help bears and humans occupy territo-ries that often overlap. Be-cause Connecticut has some rural and wooded regions it may seems as if there is enough wilderness for bears to live apart, but that’s a mis-conception, Herz said, as the state is quite heavily popu-lated in relation to how much
space bears need. “There are increasing num-
bers of bears in our state and they are expanding in range as younger bears seek their own territory,” according to a DEEP press release. “There are now reports of bear sight-ings in virtually every part of Connecticut. This is going to lead to more interactions be-tween bears and people and more discussion of the best way to address the growing population.”
Herz is compiling a Fre-quently Asked Questions section for the DEEP web-site based on questions that came into the Fish and Wild-life Facebook page after the Sessions Woods bear inci-dent. For instance, people asked why troublesome bears
can’t be relocated to a zoo or to Maine.
She is currently preparing new signs, a sturdier, simpli-fied version of the older ones, that will provide general in-formation of what to do if you see a bear and what to do if one approaches.
The signs will be available, on request, to municipali-ties for use in their parks and wildlife areas and in areas where bears have been seen previously.
In addition, bear biologists are available to speak with community groups, such as land trusts, on bear related topics.
DEEP asks residents to report bear sightings on its website and to make note as to whether or not the bear is wearing an identifying ear tag. The agency is currently engaged in a detailed study of the population trends of this species with the University of Connecticut. The results of that study will aid the agency in developing a management strategy for the future.

SportsBoys soccer, football stay perfect
Boys soccer
The Redcoats used another per-fect week to remain undefeated on the 2015 season. Berlin now sits at 5-0 on the year.
The team be-gan its week with a 1-0 victory over Rocky Hill. Evan Cornwall notched
the game’s only goal as Ben Ken-nure made five saves to record the shutout.
Despite the low scoring a�air, the Redcoats threatened on o�ense throughout the contest. They re-corded 10 total shots on goal.
Berlin finished its week with another 1-0 win, besting Malo-ney at Sage Park. Noah Silverman
scored for the Redcoats, as Ken-nure earned his fourth consecu-tive shutout.
The Redcoats have now out-scored their opponents 11-1 on the season and also boast a perfect 5-0 record in the CCC South standings.
Football
Berlin remained undefeated on the year with a 14-6 victory over the Eagles of East Catholic, thanks in large part to a defensive e�ort that forced four turnovers.
Daniel Labbadia recorded 15 tackles and the game’s only inter-ception, as Kris Schreiner, Brad Bednarczyk and Eric DeFrancesco each scooped up an Eagle fumble. The trio also combined for nine tackles on the game.
BHS quarterback Jack Lynch started the scoring with a 14-yard touchdown run in the second quar-ter. Owen Taylor ran in the two-point conversion try for an 8-0 lead that the Redcoats held through
halftime.Taylor struck again in the third
quarter with a 65-yard touchdown run to give Berlin a 14-0 advantage. East Catholic managed a passing touchdown in the fourth quarter but failed the two-point conver-sion attempt.
Taylor finished the game with 86 rushing yards on 14 attempts, as well as 12 tackles on defense. Lynch completed four of his nine passes for 78 yards as Garrett Guite, Ryan Cop and Alex Fleeton all recorded receptions of 20 yards or more.
Mitch Maslowski (10 tack-les), Fleeton (eight), Jake Loiselle (eight) and Cop (seven) were busy all night, as they helped hold the Eagles to only 137 total yards.

the year.The girls began their week
with a 1-1 tie against Rocky Hill. Tess Atkinson scored for the Redcoats while Mi-chaela Dehm made five saves in goal to help earn the draw. Berlin totaled 11 shots on goal throughout the contest.
Berlin ended its week with a dominating 5-0 victory that saw Dehm record her fourth shutout on the season.
The team has scored 24 goals through five games while only allowing one goal for their opposition.
Girls volleyball
A dicult 0-3 week for Ber-lin dropped the team to 2-4 on the year.
Berlin began its week fall-ing to Platt, 3-1 (25-10, 26-28, 25-13, 25-20). Nina D’Amato recorded six kills and three aces on perfect 11-for-11 serv-ing. Alex Perrone recorded 15 digs.
The week didn’t improve as the Redcoats fell to Malo-ney, 3-1. Despite winning the first set, Berlin couldn’t up-end the Spartans in the home contest. Sarah Pskowski had seven kills and was a perfect 9-for-9 on serves. Julia Lagace had 11 digs and eight assists in the match.
The Redcoats were shut
out in their final match of the week, falling to East Catho-lic 25-15, 25-17, 25-20. D’Am-ato had six kills for Berlin while Lagace and Angie Per-rone had nine digs each as well as nine and five assists, respectively.
Girls swimming and diving
The Redcoats split two meets recently to move to 2-1 on the season.
After falling to Plainville 98-88 to begin their week, the girls finished strong with a 102-78 victory over Holy Cross.
Hannah Lavoie led the way, thanks in part to her re-cord-breaking performance on the diving board. Lavoie’s six-dive score of 200.25 broke the Berlin record of 193.05, set by Leah Pawelczyk back in 2011.
Three individuals – Olivia DeGroff, Stephanie Humen and Gabby Pattivina – earned dual victories throughout the contest.
DeGroff came away with first place finishes in the
200 meter individual med-ley and 100 breaststroke. She recorded times of 2:19.66 and 1:11.57 in each race, respec-tively, which qualified her for the state championship meet in each event.
Also qualifying for the state championship meet was Humen in the 100 free-style, where she finished with a winning time of 1:01.46. Hu-men also took home top hon-ors in the 100 backstroke, while Pattivina f inished first in both the 50 and 500 freestyle.
Underclassmen Nadia Hu-men and Calli Beatman also had strong performances for the Redcoats. Humen won the 100 butterfly and finished second in the 200 freestyle, while Beatman dropped 34 seconds to record a sea-son-best in the 100 freestyle.

SENIOR VICE PRESIDENT
Michael Parker has been named Senior Vice President of Comcast’s Western New England Region, based in Berlin. In this role, Parker is the top executive responsible for operations, performance and customer experience for the region, which employs more than 1,700 people and encompasses 300 communities in Connecticut, western Massachusetts, Vermont, western New Hampshire and New York.
Connecticut Better Busi-ness Bureau says consumers are seeing new technology at the checkout counter. One element is designed to re-duce credit card fraud, and the other, to help consumers keep track of their purchases without requiring a printed receipt.
“Paperless receipts” were introduced to consumers over a number of years, pri-marily at bank ATMs and for financial and utility state-ments; however, restaurants and local stores are coming on board. Don’t be surprised if you are o�ered the option of going paperless this holi-day season.
Consumers opt for paper-less receipts to be emailed to them because of the con-venience, their ability to store all of their receipts on a smart device or computer, and a choice that allows them to help reduce waste. How-ever, many consumers prefer to have a hard copy of their receipts for a variety of rea-sons, including ease of filing and for reconciling financial statements.
However, there is a cost for accepting an emailed receipt instead of a printed one, not the least of which, is having to provide an email address without knowing whether that information will be shared, and with whom.
Consumers faced with the choice of paper or email will have to decide whether they are comfortable giv-ing out that information,
and whether they’d prefer to have an overflowing wallet or overflowing inbox.
The new generation of anti-fraud credit cards
Another, crucial techno-logical advance is appearing in consumers’ wallets and greeting them at the check-out counter: “smart” credit cards and merchants’ card readers. Their proper name is an “EMV card.”
They contain a micropro-cessor chip that permits con-sumers to use their cards globally to help reduce card fraud and identity theft, and make in-store transactions more secure. The chip gen-erates a unique, one-time code that is needed for each transaction to be approved. If a thief gets hold of your card, it will only allow one transaction.
Merchants both large and small had an incentive to up-date their point of sale termi-nals to accept the new EMV cards by Oct. 1, when liabil-ity and losses due to fraud-ulent transactions will shift from the card issuer to the merchant.
Unfortunately, the EMV technology does not yet stop fraudulent use of a smart card in No Card Present (NCP) commerce, such as telephone and Internet purchases.
Many cards still sport a magnetic stripe on the back containing information that can be copied. That stripe is a legacy that enables consum-ers to use their cards in stores and countries that do not yet have EMV technology. Once those stripes are phased out as they have been in other countries, it will make things considerably more difficult for credit card thieves.
Connecticut BBB offers some tips for the use of EMV cards and paperless receipts:
Limit what you reveal – If you sign up for paperless re-ceipts, you have to provide an email address. Unless you read the privacy policy, you won’t know if your informa-tion will be used for market-ing, shared with third parties or how it will be shared. You might want to open a second email account dedicated to
New technology at checkout
