Santa arrives in style for tree-lighting By Devin Leith-Yessian The Citizen
Riding in on a fire engine decked out with Christmas lights, Santa Claus came to Veterans Memorial Park Saturday night to flip on the lights on the holiday tree.
By Devin Leith-Yessian The Citizen
Once he climbed down from the glowing tree, which will stay lit until Jan. 1, families lined up to have their picture taken with him in the park’s pavilion and take some free candy canes. The Berlin Kiwanis Club also gave out hot chocolate and a few food trucks also were present for the first time this year. After they got their treats and told Santa what presents they’re hoping for next month, crowds of children chased each other around the park and climbed atop the Santa Claus greets a girl after the holiday tree lighting at Veterans Memorial piles of snow around the parking lot. “It’s great for the family, they enjoy having some time to play with their friends from school,” said Aaron Lanczki. “It definitely gets people to come together.” “It’s definitely good for the parents, to run their energy out,” said Michelle Nowik after her son Henry ran off to join his friends. “I think it’s good that the community does this.” Her daughter McKinley Nowik, 5, said

she was excited to donate a tea set and big stuffed animal to the food bank. “They’re all excited to see Santa Claus,” said Jim Simons, the town’s fire administrator. The event was put together by the fire department and three volunteer fire companies, which put out boots to collect donations for local veterans.
By the end of the night a pile of toys and food had also accumulated on one of the tables, which will all be donated to the food bank. “It’s very important for the fire department to remain in the public eye … it’s very important for them to do civic things,’ Simons said, adding that it not only shows the value citizens See Santa, A5
In response to a federal lawsuit, a local developer denied he sexually harassed the former town planner and says he was the target of selective zoning enforcement. Developer Thomas Coccomo was named in an October lawsuit filed by former Town Planner Hellyn Riggins. The suit alleges the town created a hostile work environment by failing to address sexual harassment by Coccomo dating back to 2013. “There has never been any sexual harassment by me of anyone at that Town Hall,” Coccomo said in an interview last week. Riggins, now the city manager in Eaglesville, Tennessee, declined to comment for this story. See Suit, A7
Week of events honors veterans

at the New Britain Veterans of Foreign Wars.
Local veterans were recognized with a week of appreciation recently, as the town and non-profits hosted events to thank them for their service.
“We met our goal of 400 boxes and then some,” Cote said. “People have been amazing in the town, they’re still bringing donations.”
So many volunteers helped in past years that Cote moved the event from Berlin to have enough space. “The Girl Scouts, the Brownies ; we’ve got everyone here ready to help,” she said.
Hero Boxes, a non-profit in Berlin that sends care packages to soldiers overseas, completed their donation period on Friday, Nov. 16 and received so many boxes that founder Karen Cote
Donations are still being accepted. Those coming in now will be put into storage until the non-profit can get the funding for a second shipment. The 400 boxes being sent out first were packaged on Thanksgiving night
Once in the mail, it takes around a month for the care packages to arrive in Iraq and Afghanistan, just in time Brad Parsons, a trustee with the Berlin VFW, speaks at a for Christmas. See Veterans, A12

Global changes cause problems for local recycling WINDHAM — Connecticut recycling operations are struggling to cope with increasing financial pressures involving plunging prices for recycled materials, higher trucking costs, growing difficulties sorting trash and worries about President Donald Trump’s tariff wars. As their profits drop and expenses rise, many recycling operators are beginning to pass those costs on to municipalities and consumers.
“We end up charging them higher fees,” said Bill Petrone, marketing manager for Berlin-based Automated Material Handling. “You have to cover your higher costs.” “Recycling is no longer a revenue generator for towns,” said Tim DeVivo, who with his brother Tom owns and operates Willimantic Waste Paper in Windham. Tim DeVivo said the markets for many recycled materials such as colored plastic and
low-grade paper are “the lowest we’ve ever seen.” Robert Klee, Connecticut’s commissioner of energy and environmental protection, said the impact of changes in the recycling marketplace is “a big issue throughout the recycling industry across the country.” China, which used to import more than $5.6 billion worth of recyclables from the U.S., is now refusing to take any recycled materials from this country. Klee said that has had a huge impact on mar-

Meanwhile, millions of single-use plastic bags are fouling expensive sorting machines. “Plastic bags are destroying our facility,” Tim DeVivo said.

Suit From A1
In September 2017, Riggins asked that Coccomo be instructed to go through police when contacting her or any other building department employees, according to the lawsuit. Town Manager Jack Healy, then serving in the interim post, said there was no action the town could take because Coccomo was not an employee. The owner of Coccomo Brothers LLC said that he couldn’t respond to the specific emails referenced in the lawsuit. In the suit, Riggins claims Coccomo sent emails to town officials falsely accusing her of having sexual relationships with other town employees. Coccomo acknowledged sending communications to town officials accusing Riggins of engaging in sexual acts with other employees to get them to selectively enforce regulations against him and his company. In the lawsuit, Riggins denied the allegation.

“When I learned of that I immediately mentioned things to the appropriate people at the town hall … and it fell on deaf ears,” Coccomo said. He believes Riggins targeted him as part of a dispute over a home she purchased from the company. Town records show Riggins purchased an Old Brickyard Lane home from Coccomo in May 2003. She sold it in December of 2017, about two months after leaving for the job in Tennessee.
Our mission at Mulberry Gardens Adult Day Center is to provide the highest quality community-based day program in a safe and positive environment. We provide care to individuals with a variety of socialization and cognitive needs.
Coccomo said the disagreement started when he changed the locks to the home after the two differed over changes to plans while the home was being built. The two also disagreed over some repairs needed after Higgins moved into the home, he said.

CATS OF THE WEEK
When it comes to breast care, you want the best care. Dr. April Duckworth has joined the Hartford HealthCare Cancer Institute at The Hospital of Central Connecticut breast care team. Dr. Duckworth, who has expertise in breast surgical oncology, treats both benign and malignant breast disease and is experienced in performing nipple-sparing, skin-sparing, and other types of mastectomies; excisional biopsies; ductoscopies; and axillary surgeries to identify, examine, or remove lymph nodes. She earned her medical degree from the University of Arkansas. She completed her residency in general surgery at Brookdale Hospital in New York and her breast fellowship at Allegheny General Hospital in Pittsburgh, Penn.
Diamond and Boo Boo were left in an apartment after an eviction. Diamond is young, outgoing and playful. He will greet guests and make them feel at home. Boo Boo is less active; affectionate and loving. Boo Boo craves attention. Although they lived together, they do not have to go home together. Boo Boo probably would prefer to be away from such a playful cat and curl up on the couch with you. Both are good with other cats. Visit hucatrescue.org.

Veterans From A1
On Thursday, Nov. 15 a dedication ceremony was held for the new Digital Wall of Honor, a 46-inch television installed in the lobby of the Town Hall with a slideshow of the town’s veterans. Each service member has their name, years of duty, branch, rank, assignment and where they were stationed displayed alongside a photo or two. “It’s unbelievable, the amount of phone calls, emails … I had two more just the afternoon before the dedication,” said Veterans Commission Secretary Peter Galgano. He encouraged more residents to send in photos and bios of family members from Berlin who have served. One family from Georgia contacted Galgano to have a nephew added and had hoped to be able to drive up to Connecticut for the dedication. “They were very happy about that and she’s go-
ing to be giving me more pictures and information,” Galgano said. “That’s indescribable what that means to me.” There were 82 veterans on the slideshow when it was formally dedicated, with service ranging from World War II up through today. The slideshow can be viewed on YouTube as well. Those who wish to have a name added can bring scanned files to the town manager’s office or contact Galgano at peterga lga n o @ c o m ca st. n e t. Also, the Veterans Commission ordered four parking signs reserving spots at Town Hall for Purple Heart recipients, and has installed one each at Town Hall and the Veterans Memorial Park. In yet another salute to those who serve, on Monday, Nov. 12, students held a Veterans Day ceremony at McGee Middle School, with the the school’s orchestra

Recycling From A4
For other types of recycled materials, such as low-grade plastics, “We have virtually no market whatsoever,” according to Gaffey. A major reason for these dramatic shifts in prices was a decision by the Chinese government in 2017 to halt its import of many types of recycled materials, and further restrictions on scrap metal, cardboard and beverage containers this year.
Malaysia and Vietnam have to a degree stepped up their imports of U.S. recycled materials, but experts say that can’t compensate for the huge loss of China’s recycling market. “Almost three-fourths of recycling in the U.S. goes out of the country,” Petrone said. “It’s one of our biggest exports.”
