Central Cafe shut down after biker gangs brawl St. establishment.
Central Café has been ordered to close indefinitely after a fight broke out between two biker gangs, resulting in motorcyclists fleeing the scene in an unsafe manner, said police. Plainville police Chief Matthew Catania reported that two similar incidents have occurred at the bar recently and stated that “it is not likely that we have seen the last of this type of behavior at this location,” according to a letter to restaurant permittee Shirley Papallo from Consumer Protection Commissioner Michelle Seagull.
The letter says “Up to twenty motorcyclists were observed fleeing the premises at high rates of speed and driving over lawns, driving down the wrong side of the road, and driving around other vehicles in an unsafe manner, all while disobeying officers’ signals.” Police noted that some of the individuals were seen wearing leather jackets and vests indicating membership in the dueling motorcycle groups the “Diablos” and the “Outlaws.”
Inside the bar, one patron was found bleeding from a deep laceration on his head and a human bite on his arm. He refused to provide “Based upon the foregoing, DCP finds that public health, police with information beyond saying he was hanging safety and welfare imperaout before being “jumped.” tively requires emergency action … and orders your A second patron, who police café liquor permit suspend- believe to be an associate of ed immediately and premis- the Outlaws, was bleeding es closed,” Seagull wrote in slightly from a head lacerathe letter. tion and refused to cooperPapallo did not immediately respond to email requests for comment.

Local sports complex projects prove challenging By Jesse Buchanan Record-Journal staff
SOUTHINGTON — Town leaders remain hopeful about a sports complex considered for a 112-acre West Street property, although there’s no public progress yet. A plan for a sports complex off the Berlin Turnpike in Berlin was abandoned, although it’s unclear if that’s a boost to Southington’s efforts. Developer Lee Dibble had an option to buy the parcel from the Sepko family, but that expired and the property was listed. He declined to comment on efforts to bring
the sports complex project to fruition Wednesday. The plan includes covered playing fields, a restaurant and retail space. The land at the corner of West and West Queen streets is listed for $7.8 million. The town invested $40,000 in engineering and planning work on conceptual zoning approval that could help make the property more attractive to a developer. If the land is sold through the town’s efforts, the town gets the money back from the Sepko family, according to an agreement. Even with conceptual approval, a developer would need Planning and Zoning
Commission support for a final site plan.
great place for a distribution type of use.”
In 2014, developers announced plans to open a sports complex in Berlin by 2016. A lack of money and interest from the sports community killed that plan, according to Berlin Economic Development Director Chris Edge.
Lou Perillo, Southington’s economic development coordinator, said he’s not sure if the loss of the Berlin deal helps Dibble’s chances.
“The biggest issue is that we thought it had great potential. If there’s no resources behind it, it doesn’t fit,” he said. “We are in the process of trying to do something (industrial) on the parcel,” Edge said of the land considered for a sports complex. “I think it would be a
COMMENTARY
Departed heroes, loved ones, and the life beyond By Ralph Lord Roy
Years ago, when Memorial Day came around each May, we would assemble at 9 a.m. in front of the Town Hall in little Swanton, Vt. Veterans of World War I would lead us to Flat Iron Park where a statue of a Doughboy stood. The main ceremony was held when we reached the Civil War monument on the village green, a statue of Lady Liberty with the words War of the Secession at its base. At the front of the parade was an open roadster carrying two or three elderly men identified by a sign reading "Civil War Veterans." At about noon, weather permitting, we might have a family picnic, then visit Riverside Cemetery where many relatives are buried. Flags had been placed already at the graves of veterans, and we added flowers where grandparents and other loved ones had been interred. Back then, many
were still referring to it as Decoration Day. Like today, it was a special time to honor those who Lord Roy had been in the military, and especially those who lost their lives serving their country. In mid-afternoon rival schools in town, Swanton High and St. Anne's Academy, would attract an enthusiastic crowd to their baseball game. The two schools had about the same enroll-
ment. At least half of the local residents had FrenchCanadian ancestry (including the Roys) and most of their children attended the local parochial school. The Vermont-Quebec international border was only a few miles away. At this stage and age of my life, Memorial Day can also draw my attention to death, not in a morbid sense, but from a normal interest in what lies beyond. The words of the Quaker poet, John Greenleaf Whittier, have always appealed to me: See Roy, A30

“From a demographic reach, perhaps having an additional facility may be seen by some as taking away some potential business, thereby putting one in jeopardy, but without knowing more specifics this would be difficult to say accurately,” Perillo said. “It’s unfortunate for
the region.” Dawn Miceli, Town Council vice chairwoman, said the council is regularly updated on the sports complex efforts by Perillo. “Ours is still in the works,” she said. “They’re working on the finances. It is alive and well.” The withdrawal of the sports complex plan in Berlin could be to Southington’s advantage, Miceli said, and that it “behooves us and developers to get going.”

R216175
When you see signs around the community with the name “Doreen Corriveau” you may recognize it. Receiving my real estate license in 2002 I focus on working in the Central CT area. I am a true professional with many years of experience. I will negotiate the best deal for you. I am a full time agent and respected by fellow constituents. I have vast knowledge of new construction, being married over 30 years to a General Contractor, experienced in both Customer Building and Remodeling. As a top Realtor, I pride myself with all aspects of the business - working with Buyers, Sellers, New Construction and Relocation. My greatest success is that I continue to receive referrals from many previous clients that were satisfied with my service and have no doubt in referring me to their friends, family members and colleagues.
“We found Doreen’s service to us in purchasing a new home and selling ours extremely satisfactory. She was always there with helpful recommendations and supported us every inch of the way during this stressful process. Her knowledge of the market and what we needed to do to sell our property was exemplary. We will recommend Doreen to anyone looking to sell or buy a property.” — Rocco & Frances Cerasuolo

Brother John argued then smiled as she assured that heaven is a solemn us that everything would be so much better on that other place, where day after day the redeemed sing praises to side!

I often find myself continuous party throughout singing a favorite chorus of eternity. Finally, they called hers : a truce and agreed that the Farther along we'll know all first one to die would return and report on which monk about it, had been right.

different from anything humans experience. But no reason to worry.. Abraham Lincoln delivered his most famous address in November 1863 at Gettysburg, which many historians view as the most decisive battle of the Civil War. Mom's grandfather and her great-uncle both were at that battle. After praising the holy dead, Lincoln went on to say: "It is for us the living to be here dedicated to the task remaining before us." St. Francis of Assisi left us a prayer which well summarizes that task. "Lord, make me an instrument of thy peace. Where there is hatred, let me sow love; where there is injury, pardon; where there is doubt, faith; where there is despair, hope; where there is darkness, light; and where there is
sadness, joy. O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console; to be understood as to understand; to be loved as to love. For it is in giving that we receive, it is pardoning that we are pardoned, and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life." I've always found consolation in that verse from Revelation 21, found near the end of the Bible: "And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes. And there shall be no more death, neither sorrow nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain. For the former things are passed away."

2. It’s all about your mentality Schweers said in order to make noticeable changes in the way that you look or physically feel you have to examine your attitude and find out what is holding you back from achieving your goals. “Bottom line is, if you want to change your body you have got to change your mind,” she said.
3. Train smarter not harder Schweers is grateful that she didn’t overdo it early in her bodybuilding career. She avoided common injuries that weightlifters suffer due to lifting heavily while neglecting proper form. “I train very hard, but I train very smart” Schweers said of her weight-lifting regime. She recommends beginners and older people, especially, always warm up before beginning a workout program.
Schweers said she didn’t see significant changes in her body until about two years after she started strength training. No amount of cardio or aerobic exercise in her 20s to 40s, changed her body like weight lifting. “If you want to change your

Although Schweers gets up on stage with dozens of competitors from all over the the country in physique competitions, she said, “I’m not really competitive.” Schweers was drawn to competing because she fell in love with bodybuildingstyle training after meeting her mentor, Mike Katz, a former American International Federation of Bodybuilding and Fitness professional bodybuilder. She said training is about being stronger and better than she was the day before.
