By Daniel Jackson The Berlin Citizen The flags rest on the table in the grove at the American Legion property. 1,500 to 2,000 of them lie on a table and in bags, according to Post Commander Vin Trigi- la. They are faded, some torn. They range from small flags that flew over a sol- dier’s grave in town to a large one with gold tassels and a brown stain. Now, at the end of their usable life, they have been handed over to the Ameri- can Legion Post 68 for prop- er disposal by burning. Trigila said most people don’t know how to properly dispose of a flag. “A lot of people don’t know what to do with them,” he said. The American Legion collects the flags year round and every Flag Day, June 14, they retire the American flags. The U.S. flag code states that a flag no longer usable must be disposed of in a dig- nified way, preferably by burning. It’s a short ceremo- ny, said Trigila, so that’s why he gets Boy Scouts in- volved. It stretches the cere- mony a bit longer, making it 15 minutes long instead of five. The legion members wheel barrels, that will hold the fires, toward the grove and place five in a line in the parking lot. “Nice night for it,” said Sargent of Arms Miles Sper- ry. “It’s not raining; it’s not snowing, not humid” The scouts arrive.

Jim Horbal, deputy director of the Public Works De- partment, has received 50 phone calls about the new system in the last week. While the town has tried to educate resi- dents about the changes, the Tunxis Recy- cling Operating Committee, the company that handles the trash of Berlin and 13 oth- er towns, sent out a flyer with incorrect in- formation in the early part of the year. Horbal said TROC sent out a flyer about the recycling policy around April without the town’s knowledge. The information on the flier was incorrect but in later distri- butions of the flier the errors were cor- rected. The town converts to an automated sin- gle stream recycling on July 1. At that time, residents will be asked to place their pa- pers, plastic and other recyclables into the bins, wheel them to the curb and let the au- tomated truck do the rest. “Once we get through the summer, I think everything will work itself out,” Horbal said. To complicate matters, the July 4 holi- day will push back the recycle pickup for some residents. Residents who usually get their recycling carted away on Wednesday will wheel the blue bins to the curb for the first time on Thursday. Thursday and Fri- day pick-up is also pushed a day forward.

week:The question was:What’s your opinion about PZC’s decision to plan Vet-
erans Park as Berlin’s town green?The answer is: I like the idea of a town green design. Sounds relaxing.
30%I wish the park was more active. The skateboard park
was a good idea. 21%I don’t care ether way. I am not planning on using the
park. 7%The park should be designed to memorialize the veter-
ans in the best way possible. 42%This week’s poll question asks:

Lightning strikes Berlin homeLightning struck a house on Ellwood Road June 25, the fire
marshal’s office confirmed. During a storm that passedthrough town early that morning, a bolt of lightning hit a treeabove the chimney of 18 Ellwood Road, traveled down thechimney and into the ground.
The fire marshal’s office said the resident saw embers fallout of the fireplace and smoke enter her house.
The house belongs to Beth and Bob Cugno. Bob Cugno re-ceived a call from his wife and he rushed home to find thestreet filled with fire trucks. Fortunately, the damage was mi-nor and the family was able to reenter their home, he said.
The Associated Press reported the storm knocked out pow-er to thousands of customers in Connecticut. At the Lake ofIsles golf course in North Stonington, 15 maintenance work-ers were sent to the hospital after lightning struck the golfcourse. The workers are expected to be all right.
Interpretation of POCD caused skate park debate
By Daniel Jackson
This is the view of the Veteran’s Memorial from theproposed site of the skateboard park.
By Daniel JacksonThe Berlin Citizen
The Park and RecreationCommission and the Eco-nomic Development Commis-sion disagree on the questionof whether or not to install askateboard park alongMasarrio drive with the de-velopment of Veteran’s Park.While both like the idea of askate park, they disagreewhere it should be because ofthe town’s Plan of Conserva-tion and Development.
Economic DevelopmentCommission ChairmanDavid Cyr said that his roleas a member of the EDC is topromote economic develop-ment by following the planset forth by the POCD. LenZielinski, chair of the Parkand Rec commission, consid-ers the document a static doc-ument, something the townuses to apply for grants.
The commissions bothgave their yea and nay recom-mendation to the Town Coun-cil but the council decided todelay the vote on the resolu-tion of a skate park to its nextmeeting in order to study thematter.
Cyr said that while hethinks a skate park is a goodidea, the second phase of Vet-eran’s Park is not the place toinstall the park. Veteran’spark is the center of down-town, and the ideal place forthe town green mentioned inthe POCD, Cyr said.
“This is the last chance wehave to develop and completea proper town green in ourdowntown area,” he said.
For Cyr, his goal as thechair of the EDC is to followthe plan set forth by thePOCD and to promote eco-nomic development. The
POCD describes a develop-ment of a town green alongFarmington Avenue and Cyrsaid a skate park in the cen-ter of town will not attractbusiness there.
“The town center/ towngreen possibilities on theMassirio Drive site,” said theplan, “reflect an opportunitythat could meet the oft-ex-pressed goals of community
residents to have a pedestri-an-focused area for shoppingand services that could ulti-mately inspire the communi-
ty-focused sentiment nowlacking in other commercial

Dan Pilewski has adornedhis new jujitsu studio withmementos to past. In the win-dow, his drill sergeant hatrests on a stand and a bannerwith the word “TAPOUT” issigned by a group of soldierswho he trained with in Iraq.
In the window is a cover ofSoldiers Magazine with twosoldiers in a hand-to-handcombat competition. The sol-dier who is on the coverscrawled a note to Pilewski:“Thanks for all the help withtraining, Ski. I hope to beable to win some more
matches with you in the cor-ner!”
This is the martial artsstudio of Dan Pilewski. TheBerlin native, who spent 27years in the military, cameback and is opening a jujitsustudio at 100 Webster SquareRoad based off the instruc-tion of jujitsu master RelsonGracie. Currently, he is form-ing classes and building awebsite.

Horbal said the day delaypolicy is nothing new for re-cycling pickup. “That’s beensince day one.”
He said the vendor will col-lect recyclable materialsfrom both the new wheeledcarts and the old bins thefirst two weeks to give resi-dents a grace period to figureout the new system.
Some residents have beencalling Horbal asking gener-al questions about the recy-cling system. For example,residents have called him tosay the bins are too large.
The town gave residentsthe opportunity to get asmaller container, but thedeadline is past, Horbalsaid.
“We gotta set some guide-lines,” he said.
Berlin accepts tires, oil,appliances batteries, grass,leaves and empty propane
tanks at their transfer sta-tion at 19 Town Farm Road.Residents can acquire a per-mit to burn brush from thetown.
For large items like mat-tresses and old furniture,residents can schedule apickup with Berlin’s trashservice, Trash-Away, by call-ing (860) 225-1206.
Berlin is switching to anautomated recycling systembecause the town hopes toreduce their waste disposalcosts. Horbal said it costs
less money to process recy-cling than waste. The auto-mated single stream system
is expected to cause the townto recycle 30 to 40 percentmore materials.

areas.”Zielinski argues that this
is as an ideal a place to installa skate park as the town willget. The park is centrally lo-cated and the area is pa-trolled by police officers.
While Cyr argues the skatepark would drain funds fromthe rest of the project, Zielin-ski said the skate park haslow cost. While the town hasa grant of $500,000 to buildthe second half of Veteran’spark, a 2003 estimate predict-ed the town would spend$118,500 to build a skate park.
“How big do you need agreen?” Zielinski said.
A wetland cuts the Veter-an’s park in two halves andZielinski said the traditionaltown green could be one halfand then an active, skate-board park be the other. Theexisting park is good enoughfor a town green, he said.
He said the POCD is moreof a static document, some-thing that the town refers towhen it applies for grants.
And it changes everydecade or so, said Zielinski.The town, by state law, has tocreate a new one about everydecade.
Cyr said the town is cur-rently creating a new POCDbut he doesn’t know when itwill be finished.

health notes:Irritable Bowel Syndromeby Jeffrey Stein, MD
What makes Irritable Bowel Syndrome so irritating?Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), also known as spasticcolon, is a gastrointestinal disorder affecting over 25million people in the United States.Approximately 10-15%of the adult population has IBS.While IBS is not alife threatening disorder, it does have the ability to significantly decrease the quality of one’s life.
What do we know about IBS?IBS has no known cause. A psychological componentsuch as anxiety or depression often accompanies thedisorder. IBS affects people differently. Some individuals experience constipationwhereas others experience diarrhea. Many suffer from alternating bouts of both.
Risk factors and symptomsIBS is more common in females than males and is also more common under theage of 50.You should contact your primary care physician if any of the followingsymptoms have occurred for at least three days a month over the past threemonths:
What tests are used to diagnose IBS?There are no laboratory, blood, or imaging tests to diagnose IBS. Rather, an IBSdiagnosis is often confirmed by excluding or ruling out other disorders withsimilar symptoms such as celiac disease and lactose intolerance.
TreatmentBecause the symptoms of IBS can range from mild to severe, the treatmentapproach recommended by your healthcare provider will vary from one individual to another and may include:
Keeping a journal to identify any specific foods or events that may trigger or worsensymptoms can often be helpful. IBS is a long-term disorder with symptoms thatcommonly change over time. Having a knowledgeable healthcare team to helpyou along the way is important for helping you feel better. Hartford HealthCare’sPrimary Care Network is available to help you continue doing all the things youloved doing before IBS. Together we can manage this condition.

Stay safe inwarm weather
As temperatures rise anddays grow longer, the CentralConnecticut Health Districtreminds residents to bemindful of safe practicesduring summer fun.
Safety in and around wa-ter is key, as families begin totravel to pools and beaches toescape the heat. When swim-ming, an adult should alwayssupervise children in or nearwater. Drowning can occurin minutes and in just a fewinches of water. Wheneveran infant or toddler is in or
near water an adult shouldalways be within an arm’slength providing “touch” su-pervision. When boating,everyone should wear a U.S.Coast Guard approved lifejacket. Consider taking aboating safety course, and re-member, just as with drink-ing and driving, alcohol andboating or swimming do notmix. Always be ready foremergencies by learningCPR and first aid and keep aphone with you.
Always be sure to wear abicycle helmet every timeyou or a family member getson a bike. Helmets can re-
duce risk of head injury byup to 85 percent in a bicyclecrash.Wear appropriate mul-ti-sport helmets and safetygear to prevent injurieswhile skateboarding, inlineskating or riding a scooter.Supervise younger childrenand assure that they ridewith supervision in safe ar-eas away from traffic.
Teach children to look left,right, and left again whencrossing the street. Walk on
sidewalks whenever possi-ble, and cross safely usingtraffic signals and cross-walks. If there are no side-walks, always walk facingtraffic as far to the left as pos-sible. Be watchful for carsthat are turning or backingup, especially in drivewaysand parking lots. Wear cloth-ing with reflective materials,and carry a turned on flash-light if walking at dusk anddark.
Buckle up on every trip inthe car, even if it’s just ashort ride around town. Dur-ing car rides, younger chil-dren should ride in size andage-appropriate car safetyseats. Do not leave childrenor pets in a parked car forany amount of time, as inte-rior temperatures can reachdeadly levels in minuteseven during moderate tem-

I played for Berlin LegionManager Rob Manzo forthree summers from 2001-03.We won the 2002 state cham-pionship, one of the mostmemorable summers in my27 years. Manzo continuedhis success, guiding the 2009team to the American Le-gion World Series.
Manzo and his very dedi-cated assistants, Cory Carl-son and Erik Marszalek,give their time and effort to
work with their players bothon and off the field. Giventhe program’s success, thecoaches are well-respected,and connected at the collegeranks.
Manzo is a hard-workingman of dignity and respect,and that’s all he asks in re-turn. I have coached at thehigh school level and havetaken many of his approach-es and philosophies with me.He stuck his neck out foreach and every one of hisplayers; from the best playerto the second stringer, thisguy will work endlessly,teaching the skills and shar-ing his insight for the game.
I believe the young men ofBerlin should consider thememories, friendships andsuccesses they are passingup by not representing thestrong tradition of baseballin this town. Berlin Legioncoaches will be some of thebest they ever play for, andwill become good friendsdown the road.

Get the facts before youstart the fireworks
Did you know that 6,300 in-juries were treated in hospi-tal emergency rooms in theU.S during a one month peri-od due to fireworks? In fact,fireworks were involved inapproximately 8,600 injuriestreated in U.S hospital emer-gency rooms in 2010.
As Independance Day ap-proaches, it is extremely im-portant to remember the pos-sible risks when planning forsummer fun. For these rea-sons, the Central ConnecticutHealth District remindsadults and children about thedangers of fireworks.
Fourth of July celebra-tions mean barbeques, pa-rades and picnics, and alsofireworks displays. But re-member, there are serious in-juries and health hazardsthat come with fireworks. Ac-cording to the National Coun-cil on Fireworks Safety, theseaccidents could be avoided by
taking basic safety steps, in-cluding the following:
- Parents and caretakersshould always watch teensclosely if they are handlingfireworks.
- Parents should not allowyoung children to use or han-dle fireworks.
- Fireworks should only beused outdoors.
- Always have water readyif you are shooting fire-works.
- Know your fireworks andhow they ignite. Read thecaution label before igniting.
- Always remember that al-cohol and fireworks do notmix.
- Wear safety glasses when-ever using fireworks.
- Never relight a “dud”firework. Wait 20 minutesthen soak it in a bucket ofwater.
- Avoid using homemadefireworks or illegal explo-sives; they can kill you.
- Report illegal explosives,like M-80s and quartersticks, to the fire or police de-partment.
While most people think ofbeing burned, handling fire-works can do a lot more dam-age to the eyes than original-ly thought. The eyes were thethird most commonly in-jured part of the body, withan estimated 1,300 fireworks-related eye injuries treatedin the same one-month peri-od of 2010. Contusions, lacer-ations and foreign bodieswere the most common in-juries to the eyes, according
to the NCFS. Large fireworks displays
are not the only danger dur-ing the summer. Sparklersaccounted for 1,200 injuriesand of these injuries, morethan half were to childrenage 4 and under. The follow-ing tips have been recom-mended specifically forsparkler use:
- Always remain standingwhile using sparklers.
- Never hold a child in yourarms while using sparklers.
- Never hold or light morethan one sparkler at a time.
- Never throw sparklers.- Sparkler wire and stick
remain hot long after theflame has gone out, so besure to drop sparklers in abucket of water after usage.
- Teach children not towave sparklers or run whileholding sparklers.
According to the U.S. Con-sumer Product Safety Com-mission, fireworks startthousands of fires each yearfrom misuse rather thanmalfunction. It is also worthnoting that not only do fire-works cause injury anddeath to people every year,but they are also responsiblefor millions of dollars ofdamage to property. Fire-works start thousands offires each year. To maximizeboth safety and enjoymentthis Fourth of July, plan toattend one of the local fire-works displays offered by thesurrounding communities.

Britner receives Madison fellowship Jennifer L. Britner, a social studies teacher at Berlin
High School, has been awarded a James Madison Fellow-ship by the James Madison Memorial Fellowship Founda-tion of Washington, D.C. in its 21st annual fellowshipcompetition. A total of 58 fellowships were awarded in2012. James Madison Fellowships support further studyof American history by college graduates who aspire tobecome teachers of American history, American govern-ment, and social studies in the nation’s secondaryschools, as well as by experienced secondary school teach-ers of the same subjects.
Named in honor of the fourth president of the UnitedStates and acknowledged “Father of the Constitution andBill of Rights,” the fellowship will fund up to $24,000 ofBritner’s course of study toward a master’s degree. Thatprogram must include a concentration of courses on thehistory and principles of the United States Constitution.
Britner was selected for a James Madison Fellowshipin competition with applicants from each of the 50 states,the District of Columbia, the commonwealth of PuertoRico, and the nation’s island and trust territories. The fel-lowship -- funded by income from a trust fund in the Trea-sury of the United States and from additional privategifts, corporate contributions, and foundation grants -- re-quires its recipient to teach American history or socialstudies in a secondary school for at least one year for eachyear of fellowship support. The award is intended to rec-ognize promising and distinguished teachers, to strength-en their knowledge of the origins and development ofAmerican constitutional government, and thus to exposethe nation’s secondary school students to accurate knowl-edge of the nation’s constitutional heritage.
Founded by an act of Congress in 1986, the James Madi-son Memorial Fellowship Foundation is an independentagency of the executive branch of the federal govern-ment.

Golfers, veterans team up in Cromwell
Local teen Jack Kane got behind-the-scenes access atthe Travelers Championship golf tournament at theTPC at River Highlands in Cromwell. The budding jour-nalist is pictured with PGA player J.J. Henry.
By Jack KaneSpecial to The Citizen
It was bright, dry, scorch-ing day – nothing out of theusual. We were cruisingalong in our unit’s Humveewhen our world was turnedupside down. I opened myeyes and, when my visioncame into focus, I was in ahospital. An IED had deto-nated under our vehiclekilling two members of ourconvoy and wounding myselfand two others. I lookeddown and came to the horrif-ic realization that my left legwas amputated at the knee.Questions raced through mymind. Will I ever walk again?Would I be able to runaround with my kids? Whatwill life be like?
This situation is far tooreal for many of our bravemen and women that defendour nation’s freedom. TheWounded Warrior Project(WWP) focuses their efforts
to aid the lives of the verymen and women who protectus.
During this recent Travel-ers Championship golf tour-nament at the TPC at RiverHighlands in Cromwell, inpartnership with Birdies forthe Brave and the PGATOUR, the Wounded War-rior Project gave local veter-ans the chance to caddie fora professional golfer.
On the 17th tee box at Riv-er Highlands a group of vet-erans were gathered. Wheneach pro approached, theywere paired with a veteran.Both the pros and the veter-ans were clearly apprecia-tive of the opportunity.
Masters champion BubbaWatson later said, “It’s goodany time Birdies for theBrave and the military areinvolved in something likethis. I feel bad having themcarry our bags when they’reprotecting us and letting usplay golf for a living. It’s fun
to be around the military.They ensure us the freedomto do what we want to do.They’re fighting for us, eventhough they don’t know whowe are. So it’s nice to see.”
Many other pros andcelebrities are supportive ofthe cause as well. I had thechance to catch up withChris Berman, the legendaryESPN personality, and askedhim how he felt about theWWP. “Awesome, just awe-some,” he said. “Here we areon a hot day, some of us notfeeling great. Then you thinkof them and it’s like ‘wow!’ Itdoesn’t only put things into
the WWP is a wonderful pro-gram that they would like tosee expand to other PGAevents.
One of the leading sup-porters of the WWP’s placeon the PGA TOUR is Travel-ers’ Executive Vice Presidentand Chief AdministrativeOfficer Andy Bessette, whoshared: “We do so much forthe military this week withOperation Shower, the out-post here, and the militarygetting in for free. Havingmilitary veterans carry abag on 17 was great. I thinkthey felt good about it, theplayers felt good about it. Re-ally, everyone felt good aboutit.”
The Wounded WarriorProject continues to expandand hopes to have a place atevery PGA TOUR event inthe near future. For more in-formation, or to donate tothe WWP, visit www.wound-edwarriorproject.org.

Young Post 68 club hanging toughBy Nick Carroll
The Berlin Citizen
For a team without a lot of veterans to leanon, Post 68 has done just fine.
Heading into this week, Berlin’s AmericanLegion baseball entrant, riding a five-gamewin streak, was a respectable 3-3 in Zone 3and 7-8 overall.
Post 68 swept a three-game set with Guil-ford this past weekend. The locals erased asix-run deficit in Game 3.
“We’re getting better,” said Berlin manag-er Rob Manzo. “The guys are battling, andwe’re working. We’re just going to keep play-ing.”
“We played a very, very difficult scheduleearly on,” Manzo pointed out, “which I’mhoping is paying off right now.”
Post 68’s pitching staff has been solid as oflate. Tim Norton, Will Matuszak and HunterTralli turned in good performances againstGuilford.
Berlin’s bats are working as well. Jordan
Zima has manufactured three game-winninghits thus far. Brendan Germano and JeffSylvester did their part at the plate againstGuilford.
Defensively, Manzo said “We’ve been pret-ty clean overall. But it’s a work in progressstill. It’s an interesting mix of veterans andguys learning on the job.”
Post 68’s numbers have been down the pastcouple of seasons, and Manzo has stated pub-licly that the future of the program is indoubt.
For now, however, Berlin Legion is here,and hanging tough.
“I’m honest with the guys. It’s like a bigfamily; everyone knows what’s going on.They’re smart kids,” said Manzo. “A lot ofthem are grabbing this opportunity to getbetter and stay together. We have five fresh-men on the team, and they’re getting betterevery day. It’s kind of exciting. Obviously, wewant to win, now, but the future looks reallybright.”

Halkias threw 2 1/3 inningsto get the win. He was aided by
a couple of standout defensiveplays, including a diving catchin left field by Matt Czere-puszko and a pinpoint throwfrom Veleas to Tyler Lappe thatprevented a run.

AdvertisementWORTHINGTON FIRE DISTRICT
POTABLE WATER CONFIDENCE REPORTJANUARY 1, 2011 TO DECEMBER 31, 2011
The Worthington Fire District was established in 1920 by Special Act of the Connecticut Legislature, with an effectivedate at which to begin operation of July 1, 1922. Its sole objective is the transmission and distribution of potablewater to approximately 1,175 water customers.This bulletin has been prepared to provide Worthington Fire District’s customers with the confidence that the waterthey drink meets and, in most cases, exceeds all State and Federal Drinking Water Requirements.In 1967, the Worthington Fire District entered into an agreement to purchase all of its water from the Berlin WaterControl Commission. During the period covered by this report, January 1, 2011 to December 31, 2011, theWorthington Fire District sold approximately Eighty-Sixty Million, Fifty-Seven Thousand, Seven Hundred Eighty-One,(86,057,781) gallons of water to its residential, commercial, and industrial customers. The Berlin Water ControlCommission produces 39% of its water needs and purchased 61% or less from the New Britain Water Departmentand the Cromwell Fire District.The Berlin Water Control Commission supply, excluding that provided by the New Britain Water Department and theCromwell Fire District, comes from two (2) sources:
Elton Rd: Production Well #1A;andElton Rd: Production Well #2A.
A third (3rd) well, Elton Rd: Production Well #2 (installed in 1973, a well with a depth of 102 feet and a capacity of550 gallons per minute) was replaced by Well #2A in 1996.Elton Rd: Well #1A was installed in 1973 and rehabilitated in 1994 and 1997; Well #1 was replaced in 1998 andreclassified as Well #1A.Elton Rd: Well #2A (with a depth of 105 feet and a production of 350 gallons per minute, as stated above) wasplaced in service in 1996.Water from Wells #1A and #2A are blended together prior to entering the distribution system.As required by the Connecticut State Department of Health, the Berlin Water Control Commission has to have twotradesmen classified as Treatment Operators Class 1 and one tradesman classified as Class 2.The Water Control Commission has two tradesmen classified as Distribution Operators Class 1 and one tradesmanclassified as Class 2.Monthly testing of the water supplied by the Worthington Fire District has shown that the water has met or exceededevery standard set by the State and Federal Agencies for quality and safety.The following tables summarize the analytical results of water samples taken from various locations within thedistribution system.Table 1 also lists all of the contaminants that were detected during the 2010 sampling season. Although all were wellbelow Maximum Contaminant Levels (MCLs), the following lists their significance and possible reasons:Barium in a water supply can result from the discharge of drilling or metal refining wastes or, as is most likely in thiscase, from the erosion of natural deposits. Some people consuming water containing Barium in excess of the MCLcould experience an increase in their blood pressure.Chlorides in potable water can result from sewage contamination or contaminants by industrial waste or, as in mostcases, at low levels, from erosion of natural deposits.Fluorides can arise in a water supply from fertilizer, discharge from aluminum factories, or erosion of naturaldeposits. It is also added, as in this case here, to promote strong teeth. Some people who drink water containingFluoride in excess of the MCL, over many years, could contract bone disease including pain and tenderness of thebones. Children may experience mottled teeth.Haloacetic Acids are formed as a result of chlorine, used in the disinfection process, reacting with natural occurringorganic acids. Levels well above the MCL (Maximum Contaminant Level) may cause cancer.Lead can enter a water supply from corrosion of household plumbing or from the erosion of natural deposits.Children who drink water containing Lead in excess of the Action Level could experience delays in their physical andmental development. Children could show slight deficits in attention span and learning abilities. Adults who drink thewater, over many years, could develop kidney problems or high blood pressure.Nitrate Nitrogen can enter a potable water as runoff from fertilizers or, as in most cases, from erosion of naturaldeposits. High concentrations, in excess of 10 parts per million (ppm) may cause a condition known asMethemoglobinemia when given to very young infants. It can also be transmitted to infants by nursing mothers whodrink the water.Radioactivity emitted in the form of Alpha and Beta radiation results, most frequently from the erosion of naturaldeposits.• Beta/photon emitters: Certain minerals are radioactive and may emit forms of radiation known as photons and beta
radiation. Some people who drink water containing beta and photon emitters in excess of the MCL, over manyyears, may have an increased risk of getting cancer.
• Alpha emitters: Certain minerals are radioactive and may emit a form of radiation known as alpha radiation. Somepeople who drink water containing alpha emitters in excess of the MCL, over many years, may have an increasedrisk of getting cancer.
Radon occurs naturally in rock formations. Breathing air-containing radon may cause lung cancer.Radon Guidelines for Drinking Water: Currently, the State of Connecticut recommends that actions betaken to reduce water radon levels of 5,000 pCi/L or higher. Before taking any corrective action to reduceradon levels, at least one additional measurement should be taken to confirm if radon in the water exceedsthe 5,000 pCi/L guideline.EPA to Adopt Water Radon Standard: The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is currently consideringa maximum concentration limit between 300 pCi/L and 1,000 pCi/L for public water. Additional informationon the health risks from radon in water can be obtained from the State of Connecticut’s Radiation ControlProgram.
Sodium can result from contamination by sewer water or industrial wastes but, in most cases, from erosion ofnatural deposits. When values exceed 28 ppm, drinkers must be notified so that individuals on sodium-restricteddiets can use another source.Trihalomethanes are those compounds created by the chlorination of drinking water by the reaction of the chlorineor organic matter. A Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL) of 100 milligrams per liter (mg/L) has been established.Some people who drink water containing Trihalomethanes in excess of the MCL, over many years, may experienceproblems with their liver, kidneys or central nervous system, or may have an increased risk of getting cancer.Turbidity is a measure of the cloudiness of water. It is monitored because it is a good indicator of water quality. Highturbidity levels can also hinder the effectiveness of disinfection.The sources of drinking water (both tap water and bottled water) include rivers, lakes, streams, ponds, reservoirs,springs and wells. As water travels over the surface of the land or through the ground, it dissolves naturally occurringminerals and, in some cases, radioactive material, and can pick up substances resulting from the presence ofanimals or from human activity.Contaminants that may be present in source water include:• Microbial contaminants, such as viruses and bacteria, which may come from sewage treatment plants, septic
systems, agricultural livestock operations, and wildlife.• Inorganic contaminants, such as salts and metals, which can be naturally occurring or resulting from urban
stormwater runoff, industrial or domestic wastewater discharges, oil and gas production, mining or farming.• Pesticides and herbicides, which may come from a variety of sources such as agriculture, urban stormwater runoff,
and residential uses.• Organic chemical contaminants, including synthetic and volatile organic chemicals, which are by-products of
industrial processes and petroleum production, and can also come from gas stations, urban stormwater runoff,and septic systems.
• Radioactive contaminants, which can be naturally occurring or be the result of oil and gas production and miningactivities.
In order to ensure that tap water is safe to drink, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) prescribes regulationsthat limit the amount of certain contaminants in water provided by public water systems. Food and DrugAdministration (FDA) regulations establishes limits for contaminants in bottled water that must provide the sameprotection for public health.Drinking water, including bottled water, may reasonably be expected to contain at least small amounts of somecontaminants. The presence of contaminants does not necessarily indicate that water poses a health risk. Moreinformation about contaminants and potential health effects can be obtained by calling the Environmental Protection
Agency’s Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800-426-7491).However, some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than the general population.Immuno-compromised persons such as persons with cancer undergoing chemotherapy, persons who haveundergone organ transplants, people with HIV/AIDS or other immune system disorders, some elderly, and infantscan be particularly at risk from infections.These people should seek advice about drinking water from their health care providers. EPA/CDC guidelines onappropriate means to lessen the risk of infection by Cryptosporidium and other microbial contaminants are availablefrom the Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800-426-4791).Continuous monitoring is also being carried out to provide further protection for our drinkers.Please Note: The State of Connecticut Department of Public Health has performed an assessment of our drinkingwater sources. The completed assessment report is available for access on the Drinking Water Division’s web siteaddress of: www.dph.state.ct.us/BRS/Water/DWD.btm
WATER CONSERVATION:Water is our most valuable natural resource. It is essential for life as we know it. Although we in the Northeast havebeen blessed with, at least until now, what appears to be an unlimited supply of pure, safe drinking water, thepreservation of this valuable resource is the responsibility of all.Following are just a few of the many steps that we can all take to prevent the waste and, perhaps loss, of this mostvaluable gift:1. Detect and repair leaky faucets and toilets.2. Install water-efficient showers and dish-and/or-clothes washers.3. Limit the time spent in showering.4. Water lawns and gardens only when needed, and then only early (or late) in the day to prevent water loss by
evaporation during the hot period of the day. Add mulch when possible to prevent evaporation.5. Wash automobiles only when absolutely necessary.6. Do not leave water running when shampooing or brushing one’s teeth.If we all take these steps as well as any others that you may think of, we will be able to assure ourselves and futuregenerations of a safe, potable drinking water supply for many years to come.The Worthington Fire District is proud to offer this report to its customers; and to report that all of the State andFederal requirements for Public Water have not only been met but, in most cases, exceeded every standard set bythe State and Federal Agencies for quality and safety.If you have any questions concerning the Worthington Fire District and the water that it supplies, please contact Mr.Joe Pagliaruli at 860-205-7011. Mr. Pagliaruli will be most happy to answer any questions that you may have, orsupply you with any additional information you may need.

“A flag may be a flimsy bitof printed gauze, or a beauti-ful banner of finest silk,”read Trigila from the hand-book. “It’s intrinsic valuemay be trifling or great; butits real value is beyond price,for it is a precious symbol forall that we and our comradeshave worked for and lived forand died for—a free nation offree men and women, true tothe faith of the past, devotedto the ideal and practice ofjustice, freedom and democ-racy.
“Let these faded flags ofour country be retired anddestroyed with the respect-ful and honorable rites andtheir places be taken bybright new flags of the samesize and kind, and let nograve our soldier, sailor orairman dead by un-honoredand unmarked.”
And with that, the scoutsput the flag into the burningbarrel. The flames climbedhigh as other flags follow.
As the black smoke fromthe nylon flags float abovethe trees into the darkeningsky, Clarke said that thisnight is good for the scouts.Scouting teaches citizenshipand stresses communityservice. The night hadtaught both, he said.

the army. Through the manymoves in his years in the mil-itary, the army transferredhim to Fort Benning to be-come a drill sergeant. He en-joyed the task of drilling sol-diers, a task he did for abouttwo years and three months.It’s “basically taking a civil-ian and teaching them every-thing they know to be a sol-dier,” he said.
After the army transferredhim away from being a drillsergeant, Pilewski would stillsee the soldiers he trainedwhile he was in Iraq and backin the states.
Pilewski went on threetours of Iraq. While he wasthere, he was training Iraqi
police and special comman-dos.
In 2009, he was a mortarplatoon leader in the 7th Cal-vary regiment in Iraq. Ac-cording to the AmericanForces Press Service, Pilews-ki was part of operation“Lion’s Roar,” live-fire train-ing maneuvers for the newly-trained Iraqi forces.
During that same tour,Pilewski created a “FightHouse” on his base. They
erected a spare tent and thenpurchased mats, gloves andheadgear from an Iraqi busi-nessman. It was in that tentthat Pilewski, then a levelfour Modern Army Combat-ives Trainer, trained severalsoldiers and certified themas level one instructors, ac-cording to a press releaseabout the fight house.
By 2008, Pilewski knew hewanted to start his own jujit-su studio one day because he
was thinking of retiring. Hehad the opportunity to studywith the Gracie family inHawaii. Relson Gracie waspart of the Gracie familywho was one of the key play-ers in developing competi-tion jujitsu.
Pilewski said he is still inawe about training with theGracie family. It has madehis martial arts even better.“It’s enhanced everything,”he said.

Evans was concerned because in get-ting the grant, the town limits how theycan use the property. The grants arestructured so that it can only be used foropen space and its “all or nothing.” Theproperty could become overgrown andnot maintained.
“I think your hands are tied a little bitin that area,” he said.
Mahoney said the town doesn’t have

to use any of the property as openspace, but the town would need to comeup with the money itself. He explainedthat is why the town is trying to pur-chase only two parcels that make up theback-end of the property with the grantbecause the town wants to preserve thatland as open space.
As the council passed the measure bya unanimous vote, Salina told Mahoney,“Jim, good luck getting that applicationout.”
Mahoney had a week to apply for thegrant Watershed Land AcquisitionGrant before the state’s deadlinepassed.
