Community rallies around police officer fighting cancer

By Devin Leith-Yessian The Citizen

Local businesses are showing their support for Berlin Police Officer Aimee Krzykowski after her breast cancer diagnosis.

“She’s done so much for our community and we just want to be able to help her,” said Lauren Zup, owner of Drop Dyed Gorgeous on Farmington Avenue. The hair salon raised over $1,500 with a “Cut-A-Thon” on Sunday, Nov. 4. All the proceeds from $15 haircuts and $10 pink hair extensions were delivered to the Berlin Police Department for Krzykowski.

“I've had family members that were affected by breast cancer. I know it hits close to home,” Zup said.

Normally closed on Sundays, Zup opened the salon for the fundraiser and was surprised how many customers came in, including one man who went for a pink mohawk.

“We had people waiting outside for a haircut because they wanted to support her,” Zup said.

Even though she had her first round of chemotherapy just a few days prior, Krzykowski came to the salon on Nov. 4 to thank everyone for their support.

“She was overwhelmed at how much we raised just for her,” Zup said. “It's amazing to see everyone come to-

gether for this one person.”

Deputy Police Chief Christopher Ciuci said, “The support Aimee has received, starting here with the Berlin police staff, has been tremendous.

Members of the community, members of our law enforcement family throughout the state, town residents, businesses … it’s really been overwhelming.”

The Berlin Police Department has planned a pasta dinner fundraiser

for Krzykowski on Thursday, Nov. 29 at Berlin High School. The dinner was originally slated to be held at Bethany Covenant Church, but was moved to the larger venue due to high interest.

Donations are coming in for a silent auction to be held during the dinner.

To donate to the raffle, contact Ciuci at 860-828-7086.

Tedeschi said the town hasn’t seen miscounted ballots become an issue in the past. “We’ve never had any trouble with that,” she said.

One main broke recently.

"A lot of towns don't necessarily do a lot of infrastructure because it's extremely costly," Jarema said, adding that the projects are long overdue and have been avoided by past water administrations. "A lot of things they just went ahead and postponed and you only did what you absolutely needed to do. So a lot of things should've been done sooner than later and they weren't.

And now we need to look over a five-year or a 10-year plan to see how we upgrade these on a regular basis.”

How the rate increases will affect residents is complicated by the two municipal water districts not under the town’s jurisdiction. The Worthington Fire District buys its water from the Water Control Department, but also charges customers a mill rate which keeps their rate lower.

Kensington Fire District committee chairperson Joseph Pagliaruli said the district purchases its water directly from New Britain, meaning customers won’t see any change in prices.

Pagliaruli said the district conducted a study and found that even including the mill rate they charge customers in addition to their water usage, their rates are lower than the other two districts. “Every year we invest in the infrastructure and we maintain low rates,” he said.

Berlin Water Department Manager Ray Jarema demonstrates the condition of the East Berlin water mains at a Sept. 18 meeting.

Berlin makes a splash on Senior Night

By Ajlal N. Khan Special to The Citizen

find an open target downfield.

The Berlin Redcoats improved to 9-0 on Friday with a 43-0 win over the Rocky Hill Terriers.

Berlin is now focused on taking on rival New Britain Friday in the last regular season game of the season.

Before the start of the game, the Redcoats celebrated Senior Night, honoring their 10 elder statesmen. But due to the rainy weather, the seniors had few supporters present for the ceremony.

The Berlin squad did not let the low attendance or the weather hinder its performance, however.

The locals racked up points early and often.

Junior Zach Hrubiec got the first points of the game, running in a 75-yard touchdown on the first play of Berlin’s first drive.

“It’s not a must-win, as we clinched a spot in the playoffs, but it’s a must-win in our minds to go for the 1 seed … we are laser focused this week against a very tough opponent,” said Halkias.

On Senior Night, the BHS football team rolled over Rocky Hill, 43-0, to improve to 9-0.

Ajlal N. Khan, Special to The Citizen

Not long after, junior Marco Scarano added another rushing TD. It wasn’t until the second quarter that a senior scored for the Redcoats, as Alex Halkias ran in a long touchdown.

Joining him on the scoreboard in the second quarter were seniors Giancarlo Tufano and Kevin Dunn.

Dunn threw only twice against the Terriers, maintaining a strong run offense on this very rainy night.

“We couldn’t really throw in those rough conditions,” said Halkias. “The key was to stay fundamentally sound and run our bread and butter plays perfectly.”

Dunn did just that, ending the half with a long run into the end zone after failing to

Brian Delude also ran.

Sisti said she’s looking forward to continue serving with her colleagues, each of whom bring a different perspective to the board.

In speaking with residents in the days leading up to the election, Sisti felt voters identified with her message of tackling the issue of bullying and building greater communication between the board and parents.

“I think there’s a disconnect with the BOE and the people

of Berlin sometimes,” she said. “Really, we have to work on our communication between the BOE and the citizens of Berlin … I think that’s really important because it really takes a village.”

CROSSWORD ANSWER

Simba is a handsome, 1-yearold Maine Coon mix. He is very friendly and has a doglike personality. You might not see that meeting him for the first time, because Maine Coons tend to be reserved with new people, but are very loyal to their families. Once he

knows you are his, he is all yours! Jag is an adorable little boy. He and his siblings were found at only three weeks old during heavy rains. They were rescued by police officers in New Britain and bottle fed by a foster father. Jag and his brothers are now fearless and

lovable. Join us Sunday, Nov. 18, 1 to 3 p.m., at PetSmart, 278 New Britain Ave. For more information, visit www.hucatrescue.org for an online application, call 860479-5173 or email hucatrescue@gmail.com.
