Crowds come out to celebrate lemonade stand milestone By Devin Leith-Yessian The Citizen

More than just a lemonade stand, Nico Fasold’s yearly fundraising effort for the Make-A-Wish Foundation has become a tradition over the decade he has set up shop in front of his Northwest Drive home.

Social media becomes important tool for area police By Lauren Sellew Record-Journal staff

“And not just for criminal matters.”

Earlier this summer, a bicycle was reported stolen from the train station in Berlin. The Police Department posted security images on its Facebook page and within an hour received a call, interviewed the suspect and recovered the bike.

Police across the state are using social media, mainly Facebook and Twitter, more to help solve crimes, inform the public about upcoming events and recognize officers.

“It’s been a great tool for us,” said Berlin Deputy Police Chief Christopher Ciuci.

According to a 2016 survey by the Urban Institute, the increase in police departments signing up for social media accounts began in

In addition to the 40 gallons of lemonade served up Saturday, July 13, Nico’s Lemonade Stand was surrounded by monster trucks, an assortment of treats, face-painting and

visits from children who have had their dreams granted using the proceeds Fasold, 14, has donated to Make-A-Wish. “It feels so good to have support in the community,” said Fasold, who was joined on Saturday by more than 20 volunteers, including friends, who joined him in serving the lemonade, and his sister’s friends, who gave out cotton candy and snow cones.

2010 and peaked in 2012. The institute conducts research on social and economic policy. The survey also found the most common reasons police use social media include notifying the public of potential safety concerns, community outreach and engagement and traffic issues.

Police: Man did damage to school floors

Krystyle Chandler, 20, of 285 Monroe Ave., Waterbury, was charged Monday, July 8 with first-degree criminal mischief, second-degree criminal trespass and loitering on school grounds.

On May 21, the school principal reported two former students, one identified as Chandler, entered the Chandler school the previous day and marked the floors. Security video showed a current student opened a door to the high school for a second

suspect, who was carrying a Razor-type push scooter, according to Chandler’s arrest warrant. The second suspect, who has not been charged, opened the door for Chandler, who also had a scooter.

A small effort, a good cause Connecticut is making a move against polyethylene. Starting on Aug. 1, there will be a 10-cent tax on those single-use grocery bags made of thin polyethylene. And starting on July 1, 2021, retailers will be prohibited from providing those bags to customers.

bly is allowing everyone, customers and retailers alike, almost two years to get used to the fact that the ban is coming, and to make other arrangements. Meanwhile, the 10-cent tax is projected to add about $27 million per year, for two years, to the state’s General Fund.

This may seem like a drastic step, but the General Assem-

at a cost to the environment, which is why several countries have already banned them and other countries and U.S. states are in the process of doing so. Polyethylene is the most common plastic on the planet. Used primarily for packaging — including in the now-ubiquitous single-use grocery bag — it has found its way into our landfills, rivers, the open sea, and the food chain. There’s so much of it, in fact — the U.S. alone consumes

Police From A1

Department posts the arrest blotter on its Facebook page along with road closings and awards and commendations for officers and citizens. The department has a handful of officers who are authorized to post on the page, Lt. Stephen Elliott said. “It’s definitely becoming more prevalent despite dinosaurs like me,” said Elliott, who doesn’t have a personal Facebook page. “It’s the thing right now, and its going to be a growing wave in the future.” Wallingford Police Lt. Cheryl Bradley said her department doesn’t use social media for police business. Meriden Sgt. Christopher Fry handles the department’s Facebook page as part of his public information officer position. He uses both Facebook and Twitter. He recounted one incident where two officers filmed a video for a friend in response to the “Momo internet hoax” that was scaring some children. The officers in the video told children they “captured” the fictitious Momo character to make children feel safe. The video was posted on social media. “The Facebook portal is reserved for interaction with

Thursday, July 18, 2019

the community,” Fry said. “We want to be able to give you updates in a timely fashion and we want to be able to constantly research ways in how to be able to do that.” In another incident, Meriden police shared a security video showing an armed robbery on West Main Street to help catch the suspect. When an 11-year-old girl was recognized for her actions during the robbery, police also shared that information through social media. Ciuci said the Berlin department also uses social media to increase transparency. If residents post complaints or questions about how a particular incident was handled, police try to learn from the feedback and respond.

Expert endocrine surgeon. Right in your neighborhood.

Plainville Police Lt. Nicholas Mullins said police dispatch supervisor Al Urso handles the posts on the department’s Facebook page. Mullins said it has become an excellent tool to spread information and to connect with the people they are serving. “I think you have to nowadays,” Ciuci said about using social media. “If you don’t, you’re not communicating as effectively as you could be.” lsellew@record-journal.com 203-317-2225 Twitter: @LaurenSellewRJ

Wing Ding brings the heat The Plainville Police Association held its 17th annual Wing Ding contest Saturday, July 13. The event is a fundraiser to benefit the association’s Officer Robert M.Holcomb Memorial Scholarship. The scholarship is given out each year to honor the memory of Officer Holcomb who was killed in the line of duty in 1977. Hundreds of people came out to the VFW Post 574 on Northwest Drive to participate in the taste-testing festival that featured chicken wings provided by seven suppliers vying for their recipe to win the day. Participating food vendors were: J Timothy’s, First and Last Tavern, Sliders, Blue Plate, Vero Pizza, Zen Bar and Gnazzo Food Center. A DJ provided musical entertainment while people socialized inside or outside under two large tents. Attendees then voted for contestants, with purchased tickets, to indicate which wings they liked best. Winners included J. Timothy’s Taverne, returning as champion, with first place for Best Buffalo Wings and Best Wings Overall; Sliders Bar & Grill, Best Specialty Wings; and the Zen Bar, Hottest Wings. -- Writeup and photos by Terry Sutton

Al has been a resident of Bloomfield Center for Nursing and Rehabilitation since 2008 during which time he became the resident gardener and mailman spreading warmth and cheer and making many friends. During his final days he would repeatedly ask his daughter to tell his “family” at Bloomfield Center for Nursing and Rehabilitation how much he loved them and appreciated all they had done for him. His gardens there are a living testament to his beautiful spirit. Al and his “grand-dog” Kermit, who used to ride on his walker to visit residents

BLOOMFIELD- Arlington R. “Al” Semmler, husband of the late Ann (Hillen) Semmler, died peacefully with the knowledge of how well-loved he was by so many on July 7, 2019. Al was born to Reinhold and Emma (Lindeman) Semmler on May 10, 1927 in Delmont, South Dakota. In Oct. of 1945 he was inducted into the Army and trained as a medic. As fate would have it, he was stationed at Avon Old Farms Convalescent Hospital (Avon Old Farms School was used at the time as a rehabilitation facility for blinded soldiers) and it was there he was to meet the love of his life-a Traveler’s Insurance gal named Ann Hillen. The girls were regularly brought to the hospital for dances. Al was standing in the window looking out over the drive and when he saw her get off the bus proclaimed she was the girl he’d marry. They were married on July 26, 1947. After living in Hartford and working at Royal Typewriter for 2 years, Al took his family, which was now increased by one (their daughter Elizabeth), and moved back to South Dakota to once again farm until 1953. Moving back to Connecticut, the family settled in Plainville, CT, where Al worked for many years at The Plainville Lumber and Coal Co. He reinvented himself when in his 70’s and went to work for Appell Drug and Rite Aid becoming a pharmacy tech at the

and staff bringing cheer to all, are together again joining his beloved Ann. He is survived by his daughter Elizabeth Coburn Brighenti, son-in-law John Brighenti, one sister Annetta Heckenlaible of Mitchell, South Dakota and many nieces and nephews. He is also survived by his nephew and godson, Robert Hillen, of Southington, CT. He was predeceased by his parents; 6 brothers (Edwin, Eltor, Helmuth, Richard, Harold, and Herman) and two nephews, Larry and Rick Semmler. There are no calling hours. A Mass of Christian Burial will be held at Sacred Heart Church, 26 Wintonbury Ave., Bloomfield, Connecticut at 11 AM on July 16, 2019. Full military honors will be accorded following the funeral mass. Burial will be private. Bailey Funeral Home, 48 Broad St., Plainville has been entrusted with care. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Al’s memory to The Bloomfield Center for Nursing and Rehabilitation Resident Council Fund c/o The Bloomfield Center for Nursing and Rehabilitation, 355 Park Ave., Bloomfield (please note: for Al’s garden) or a charity of the donor’s choosing.

“I’m glad that people can come together as a community to help the less fortunate,” said Darrel Gorneault, 16, a friend of Fasold’s. “Those people have to go through a lot, so it’s good the community is coming together to help them out.”

The stand and its attractions have expanded over the years to take up the whole frontage of the Fasold home, with a large tent and tables set up next to the smaller enclosure over the stand itself, and a second stand placed across the street to allow eastbound motorists to grab a lemonade or treat without having to park.

Each year a monster truck from Carilli Brothers Motorsports has stopped by the stand as part of their tour to raise cancer awareness.

Editorial From A6

an estimated 100 billion grocery bags per year, perhaps 700 million of them in Connecticut alone — that polyethylene makes up much of the five major offshore plastic accumulation zones in the world’s oceans. The Great Pacific Garbage Patch, the largest one, is three times the size of France. All that floating plastic is harmful to sea life and, once it degrades into tiny particles called microplastics, it enters our food supply. So it’s fair to say that today polyethylene presents a big global problem. But the tax, and then the ban, are also intended to reduce unsightly litter in Connecticut.

tic-bag fees or bans already in place, many consumers are probably unfamiliar with the concept. And, in the short term, stores may find it difficult to keep up with the expected increased demand for reusable bags once the tax comes in, but they will be allowed to charge for singleuse paper bags.

Many people are already keeping reusable bags in the trunk of the family car, ready for use when they go to the supermarket. It shouldn’t be too difficult, or too painful, for the rest of us to train ourselves to do likewise. After all, years ago we learned to separate our recyclables from our trash, and that became the new normal. We expect that giving up singleuse poly bags will soon beWhile about 10 communities come customary. And we believe it’s worth the effort. in the state have local plas-

That the Town Manager, the Treasurer and other proper officers of the Town are authorized to take all other action which is necessary or desirable to complete the project and to issue bonds or notes and obtain grants to finance the aforesaid appropriation.” Dated at Plainville, Connecticut, this 18th day of July, 2019. ______________________________ Carol A.
