Phase II of VeteransPark will not include

skateboard park

Renovation project sent back toPublic Building Commission

By Monica SzakacsThe Berlin Citizen

During its Sept. 18 meet-ing, the Town Council movedto endorse the Economic De-velopment Commission’srecommendation for Phase IIof Veterans Park which fol-lows the original concept -without a skateboard park.

Mayor Adam Salina saidthe town has already re-ceived a $500,000 STEAPGrant to fund the project.

The next step was to definewhat would be included inthe construction of Phase II;this led to the debate ofwhether or not to keep Veter-ans Park passive or to in-clude a skateboard park. Thetown has decided the parkwill remain passive forPhase II.

“Now we are going into thefull design phase,” Salinatold The Berlin Citizen. “We


Under Attorney TimCorey’s recommendation,the Town Council decidedto send the Berlin HighSchool renovation projectback to the Public BuildingCommission to work witharchitects Silver, Petrucelliand Associates to completethe construction drawings.

Corey, from the law firmHinckley, Allen & Snyder,LLP, of Hartford, was hiredby the town as outside legalcounsel to help advise thetown on what actions totake next with the project.

Corey re-ported hisrecommen-dations andfindings tothe townSept. 18. Hesaid con-s t r u c t i o ndocuments

are eight to 10 weeks awayfrom being complete.

“When I met with Silver,Petrucelli last week, theysaid the design drawingsare 100 percent complete,”Corey said. “A contractorcannot bid to design draw-ings, but this is the first keystep in developing con-

struction drawings, whichare what contractors use todevelop final bids, and fromwhich a final budget can bedetermined.”

According to Corey, oncethe final budget is set andthe contract has beenawarded, the contractorcannot change that priceunless the owner mandatesthe change or there is anunforeseen condition.

In his perspective, Coreysaid the best course of ac-tion is to allow Silver,Petrucelli and Associates tocontinue the development

Town awarded grant to renovatesenior housing complex

The town will receive $500,000 to renovateMarjorie Moore Village, a 40-unit senior af-fordable housing complex managed by theBerlin Housing Authority.

Mayor Adam Salina announced last weekthat he received notification of the awardfrom Gov. Dannel Malloy. The funds comethrough the Small Cities Block Grant Pro-gram, which is administered by Connecti-cut’s Department of Economic and Commu-nity Development.

“This funding will go a long way with theimprovements of Marjorie Moore Village.Renovations will include ADA upgrades, the

installation of a generator and the rehabili-tation of the bathrooms and kitchens,” Sali-na said. He thanked Malloy and State Rep.Joe Aresimowicz for their support in secur-ing the funds.

“Providing quality affordable housing forour seniors is essential – this is great newsfor Marjorie Moore residents,” Aresimowiczsaid. “State support like this is vital for localprojects. It helps reduce the pressure on themunicipal budgets and keep our local prop-erty taxes down.”

Local carpenter thrives 25 years in the business

Citizen photo by Monica Szakacs

Michael Nadeau and his wife own a full functioningwood workshop and showroom in Berlin.


This year marks the 25thanniversary for Michael J.Nadeau Carpentry, LLC, inBerlin. Owner MichaelNadeau is a third generationcarpenter following the pathof his father and grandfather,who use to hand hue logs andbuild barns.

Nadeau’s father and unclewere building contractors inBerlin and when Nadeauturned 12 years old, his fa-ther put him to work.

“I got in his truck everySaturday (or every day in thesummer) and went to workwith him on certain jobs,” hesaid. “Back then, that’s theway it was. All subcontrac-tors and contractors broughttheir kids to work, so theycan eventually make a livingto support their own familywith a trade. My father mademe work with different sub-contractor trades.”

From electricity to mason-ry, plumbing to drywalling,Nadeau said he learned thedifferent trades of home im-provement to be well-round-ed in the business. But out ofall the trades, Nadeau said hewas drawn to carpentry andbuilding houses.

“As I grew older, I think Igot tired of building homesbecause it just got too easyover time and I became inter-ested in the design part of thebusiness,” he said.

Nadeau’s wife and officemanager, Paula Nadeau, saidever since she can remember,her husband has always beenartistic. The two met atBerlin High School. Upongraduation, Michael Nadeauwas offered a college scholar-

ship for arts, but instead hechose the career path of car-pentry.

“I think I combined thetwo when I went into busi-ness because if you’re anartist, you’re an artist. I havea good, keen eye for design,”he said. “I basically handdraw all the designs andbuild just about every projectwe do, from blueprints to thefinal piece of putty that goesinto the complete job. That’swhy I think we have been sosuccessful over the years.”

Nadeau offers full-servicehome improvement and ren-ovations, from kitchen andbathroom remodeling, tocustomized furniture and ex-terior home additions.Nadeau also said his successwould not have been possiblewithout his “dedicated em-ployees, full design team,contractors and subcontrac-tors.” Because of his uniqueand custom design plans

(whether it is book shelves orpatios), Michael J. NadeauCarpentry has won seven na-tional awards for design andbuilding.

“Believe it or not, thereare a lot of people in this in-dustry going out of business,but we’re thriving right nowin a bad economy,” he said. “Ibelieve it’s because of thecreativity, reliability, hon-esty and the quality of workfrom my team.”

Paula Nadeau said the bestpart of being her husband’sbusiness partner is seeingthe company grow over theyears, from starting offworking out of the house inan office room, which shesaid is now a walk-in closet,to having a full functioningwood workshop and show-room.

To prosper in this day inage for carpenters, Nadeausaid businesses have to be di-versified in the construction

trade and evolve with an in-dustry that has “changedtremendously over the past25 years.” New environmen-tal-friendly products are con-stantly being developed, andNadeau and his wife attendseminars to keep up with theprogressing market.

Recently, Nadeau pur-chased an old barn off Nor-ton Road that was down and

uses the chestnut and whiteoak lumber to make furni-ture, such as desks, vanitiesand headboards.

“It’s fun and we’re beinggreen by reusing the lumber.You can’t find some of thosewoods anymore because thebugs got to it back in the

Traffic analysis efforts control ‘hot spots’Nikki A. Sambitsky

Special to The Citizen

Despite a running total offour accidents to date thisyear on the ChamberlainHighway, it is still not cur-rently considered one ofBerlin’s “hot spots.”

According to Berlin Po-lice Department’s TrafficOfficer Robert Canto, re-cent accidents at the loca-tion, many of which werecaused by both driver errorand distracted driving, donot make the department’stop 10 list of areas in townthat are plagued by frequent

traffic incidents. One area that is on the

list, however, is the inter-section of Deming Road andthe Berlin Turnpike, ac-

cording to Canto. “Obviously it’s the Berlin

Turnpike and there’s a lotmore volume of cars as com-pared to the ChamberlainHighway,” Canto said.“You’ve got four lanes ascompared to two, so on theconservative end, double theamount of traffic. So five ac-cidents on the ChamberlainHighway is possibly theequivalent to one on theBerlin Turnpike based ontraffic volume; that’s not tosay it’s any worse or any bet-ter.”

Canto said for the pastthree years he has been keep-

ing a crash traffic analysis,which gives raw data such ascrash location, crash direc-tion, date, day, time, causeand factor of the accidents.The report, once compiledand analyzed, enables Cantoand his lieutenant to knowexactly where and what spe-cific day and time to send outofficers to patrol the area. Todate, six out of the 10 con-cerning hot spots have beeneliminated, according toCanto.

“In the first and secondyear that we did this, we setup a traffic squad and an en-forcement detail at our top 10

hot points,” he said. “We con-centrated on those, and [hotspots] got changed with oth-ers, but that shows that it’sworking. When you have 10hot spots in town and six ofthem get off of the radarwithin a year, I’d like tothink we did our job.”

Along with rectifying no-table problem areas aroundtown, measures have alsobeen taken last year to maketravel along the Chamber-lain Highway safer for mo-torists. Canto said with the

DMV launches fifth annual teen safe driving video contestThe question, “Teen Safe

Driving: Are You In?” is theproblem that five teens, in-cluding a Berlin student,have addressed for theirpeers, parents and other rolemodels across the state, asthe theme for the 2013 DMVteen safe driving video con-test. The agency and corpo-

rate prize sponsor TravelersCompanies kicked off thecompetition Sept. 19.

The five students volun-teered to make the contest,which has run annuallysince 2009, more appealing toteens across the state. Theysaid a simple-to-understandtheme that engages influen-

tial people, such as parents,friends or other teens, is atthe heart of a convincingsafety message.

Students working on theproject are Daniyal N. Khan,of Berlin; Juhi Gupta, ofRocky Hill; Michael Brain-erd, of East Haven; Luke Ed-wards, of Madison andPatrick Kudej, of Norwich.They also are members ofthe DMV’s Commissioner’sAdvisory Committee on TeenSafe Driving.

A recently completed par-ent survey, as well as analy-sis of DMV teen drivinglaws, shows that the laws are

helping to reduce teen crash-es, injuries and deaths, butthat public outreach - like thecontest - is needed to help allparents and teens better un-derstand the laws.

“Keeping Connecticut’sroads safe is everyone’s re-sponsibility,” Gov. DannelMalloy said. “Teaching ouryoungest drivers how to besafe behind the wheel saveslives. Stronger laws and in-novative programs are onepart of the solution, but rais-ing awareness among teendrivers and their parents isthe key to road safety. I ap-plaud these young people for

their commitment to get theword out to their peers.”

The student-designedtheme and a greater use ofsocial media by the teens arenew features coming thisyear to the contest. It awards$15,000 in cash prizes to thehigh schools of winning stu-dents. High schools are re-quired to use the winningfunds to create teen safe driv-ing programs.

The 25-second videos alsomust illustrate two or moreof the state’s teen drivinglaws, too. The deadline forsubmitting a video is Jan. 23,2013. The contest is open toall high-school age students.Information and rules can befound at www.ct.gov/teen-driving/contest.

The teens’ strategies are tohelp increase the number ofentries and participantsfrom the 105 submissionsthis year and to reach out tostudent councils, parent-teacher organizations andschool officials through e-mails. They also plan to usesocial media to help promotethe contest to other teens.The social media platformsalready setup are: Twitter,twitter.com/areyouin2013;YouTube, youtube.com/arey-ouin2013 and Facebook, face-book.com/2013AreYouIn.

“Involving students to helpcreate this theme and pro-mote the contest is one moreway to have important peoplein a teen’s life help to teachthem to drive safely and re-sponsibly,” DMV Commis-

help and input of the State ofConnecticut Department ofTransportation, larger stopsigns measuring 30 inches in-stead of the standard 24 inch-es were placed along thehighway. In order to improvethe line of sight for drivers,overgrown brush wastrimmed back, informationalsigns along the stretch weremoved back 25 feet, and pinetrees that also detracted fromthe sight line were trimmed,both on public and privateproperty. The blinking lightslocated on the highway alsoserve as a warning to driversthat there are intersections

along the scenic stretch. Town Manager Denise Mc-

Nair, who speaks regularlywith the officers, said she issatisfied with the work thatthe police department hasbeen doing to control trafficand the amount of accidents.

“I think we do a very goodjob at trying to anticipatewhere there might be prob-lems,” she said. “We have oneof the best police depart-ments in the state, I believe. Ifeel very strongly that we doeverything we can to makesure traffic remains safe.”

of the construction drawingsfrom the design plans.

“In addition to deciding tostay with the present team inplace, if we went in an alter-native direction, the townwould be looking at over ayear to develop different de-sign drawings and construc-tion drawings,” Corey said,adding that the town wouldface a budget escalation any-where from 4 to 8 percentbased on current economicprojections.

In his years of workingwith different municipalitieson over-budget related proj-ects, Corey said Berlin’s proj-ect is not the worst budget is-sue he has dealt with.

“The town of Berlin hassurrounded themselves withvery capable advisors, aswell as a construction teamthat not only do I think can

complete this project, butcomplete it with somethingthat the citizens of Berlincan be proud of.”

Corey said he found thecouncil, Board of Educationand PBC share a commongoal to provide a high schoolthe students and faculty canbe proud of and can contin-ue curriculum improve-ment.

“Based on when the townreceived the funding, whichwas June 28, 2012, the statusof the design and the devel-opment of the budget arewell within the timelinesthat I’ve seen in the past,” hesaid.

During the meeting, coun-cil made three additionalrecommendations for PBC,in which the commissionhas the final say in whetheror not it would like to followthrough on the recommen-dations.

Council suggested thatportions of the project, that

came in over budget, go backout to bid. These portions in-clude steel, mechanical andelectrical components.

The council also askedPBC to employ an independ-ent contractor to review allconstruction designs. Theindependent contractorwould act as a peer review sodesigns may go forwardwithout errors.

The last recommendationis to establish an advisorycommittee of six members,in an effort to cut back onmiscommunications. MayorAdam Salina said the com-mittee is in no way to con-demn the PBC; rather it is away to get information out tothe public, council and BOEefficently without misunder-standings.

“It’s a way to keep theproject moving in a positivedirection,” Salina said.

The advisory committeewould consist of two councilmembers, two BOE members

and two members of the pub-lic who would sit in on allPBC meetings that concernsthe high school project. The

advisory committee will nothave voting rights, but mem-bers will be able to activelyengage in discussions.

Speed demonsTo the editor:I live on the hill part of

Savage Hill Road. Don’t letthe double yellow line foolyou; it is still a residentialroad. Perhaps all of thehouses should be a clue. De-spite the fact that you are go-ing downhill, you are still re-sponsible for knowing thespeed limit and driving thespeed limit. This is an every-day problem. There are peo-ple walking, biking and rid-ing scooters in the street.You are responsible for hav-ing control over your vehi-cle, you are responsible forpaying attention and you areresponsible for noticingthese people who are utiliz-ing the road.

My children have to crossthe road to get on the schoolbus. Three times last year,jerks flying down the roaddidn’t notice the big yellowbus, its big red lights, or thered stop sign that pops out tothe side of the bus. Threetimes last years, my childrencould have been killed be-cause someone is racing towork, or just not paying at-tention. Today, not even amonth into the school year,my children and my neigh-bors’ child almost diedagain. What in God’s nameare you thinking? You knowthere are children getting onthe bus. Or maybe you didn’tnotice because you are aspeed demon.

I don’t know the solution -sidewalks, a stop sign halfway down the hill. I’d behappy to let the Berlin PoliceDepartment run radar out ofmy driveway. The bottomline is, I should not have tosacrifice my children so youcan drive too fast.

Comic strips: a colorfulgallery of characters

By Paul Colella

Comic strips first ap-peared in about 1900 as spe-cial Sunday supplements in anumber of competing masscirculation newspapers. Al-most instantly embraced byan audience of millions, thecomics have been makinggood on the boast ever since.The new medium, in whichillustration and text werefused in a never-ending se-quence of gaudy frames, wastailor made to become a win-dow in which the folk imagi-nation could behold its ownage-old fantasies — at leastthe more pleasant ones —colorfully rendered with agloss of novelty and fresh-ness.

In time, a gorgeous gallery

of characters and situations,all of them stock items asold as mankind, appearedand became a major part of20th century popular lore.For example, the battle ofthe sexes, against a back-drop of social striving, wasthe theme of “Bringing UpFather (1913), featuring thebumptious Jiggs and Mag-gie, a strip that flourishes tothis day in its original form.

Reading the Sunday funnypapers out loud to the chil-dren became an establishedinstitution in millions ofAmerican homes. So, withmuch family oriented clown-ing and slapstick, child andanimal characters loomedunderstandably large in-cluding “KatzenjammerKids,” “Krazy Kat,” “Muttand Jeff,” “Moon Mullins,”“Smokey Stover,” “Blondie,”“The Timid Soul,” and later“Marmaduke.”

All these were to beeclipsed by the appearancein 1929 of Walt Disney’sMickey Mouse, among themost beloved cartoon char-acters ever conceived. A rap-id succession of inspiredDisney creations followed:“Silly Symphonies,” “TheThree Little Pigs,” “DonaldDuck,” and many others.The animals in animal taleshave always represented ar-chetypal human strengthsand foibles; they do the samein the world conjured up by

Disney and his artists, withthe important differencethat the latter’s streamlinedrepackaging of the primalfables systematically deletesall that was dark or dirty inthe original versions. TheDisney villain never getsworse that cutely wicked.The public’s overwhelmingfavorable response to Disneyhas never waned.

Another perennial fa-vorite, the loner who ap-pears in the nick of time tosave the day and then van-ishes, was revived in thecharacter of the LoneRanger, scourge of westernbad men on radio and incomics from the 1930s on.One of the most successfulcomic strips of all time isCharles Schulz’s Peanuts,featuring Charlie Brown andhis intrepid beagle, Snoopy.

But the prototype of allcomic book superheroes isSuperman, with his host ofimitators from Batman toCaptain Marvel. The tale ofSuperman’s origins on hishome planet Krypton, of hispowers of flight, invulnera-bility, and X-ray vision, andof the constant competitionbetween his everyday self,reporter Clark Kent, and hissuperhuman self for thewoman, Lois Lane, he loveshas become as much a partof Americana as any au-

thentic folk story. Super-man’s female counterpart,Wonder Woman, has also be-come a part of popular lore,first appearing on the sceneat the same time women en-tered war work. Real space-ships and astronauts werelong prefigured in the popu-lar mind by such 1930s fa-vorites as Buck Rogers andFlash Gordon.

Traditional European ma-terial was successfully re-vived by comic strip artiststhrough the character ofPrince Valiant, son of the ex-iled king of Thule, who

roams the world in quest ofPrincess Aleta, queen of theMisty Isles. Throughout thefantasies spun by comicbook writers and illustra-tors, there runs a thread oftraditional themes: thechangeling personality andits transformations (cos-tumed superheroes), or mag-ical strength-giving food(Popeye’s spinach), or Spi-derman, a bionic individual,who fought the good fight af-ter being bitten by a radioac-tive spider.

While drawing on the old,the comics have also con-tributed a wealth of gags,slang, and proverbial expres-sions to U.S. folk humor andspeech, outliving their im-

mediate function as escapefiction. In this they haveearned a permanent place inour tradition, such as thatoccupied by their predeces-sors, the joke books, dimenovels, Crockett almanacs,and the like. Indeed, comicstrips past and present are acolorful gallery of charac-ters and entertainment.

Coats’ Notes

For spikers, captain role must be earned;Girls soccer wins two, Jacques notches hat trick

Gombotz,Young come up big for Berlin

By Nick CarrollThe Berlin Citizen

He’s been on the job for more thanthree decades, but Bob Tarigo, coachof the volleyball team, cannot be ac-cused of rigidity.

This season, for the first time inhis 400-plus win career, Tarigo optednot to select team captains for theyear. Instead, captains are being cho-sen on a match-by-match basis as areward for hard work and qualityplay.

“I told the girls I will pick the cap-tains depending on how they work inpractice, what kind of leaders theyare in practice with the other kids,”Tarigo pointed out. “To be a captainit’s more than just being a greatplayer, or a good player. I’m trying toget leaders out there who will behelping others win for Berlin volley-ball. That’s the main thing.”

At the end of the season, Tarigosaid he will assess whether or not tocontinue naming match captains.

“We’ll try it. And if it works, fine.If it doesn’t work, fine; I’ll know notto do it again next year,” he said.

The Lady Redcoats knocked offPlatt, 3-0, Friday to improve to 2-2 onthe year. Giorgia Rossetto had 15kills for the victors, and teammateAlicia Maule handed out 22 assists.

The boys soccer team headed into

this week with a so-so record of 1-1-1.Berlin’s loss came last week, a 1-0 de-cision to Bristol Eastern.

BHS coach Dave Francalangiapointed out that his roster is“banged up” presently. ForwardsBrajan Cano and Brian Kennure are

sidelined, which has taken a toll onthe Redcoat offense.

“I am happy the way we are play-ing defensively,” Francalangia said,pointing out that his guys had al-lowed just two goals in their firstthree games. “However, we are mak-

ing too many mental mistakes. Thatis due to inexperience at the varsitylevel. Someone needs to take the roleas a leader up front and provide thisteam with some goals. Alex cannotdo it himself.”

Alex is Alex Bednarek, Berlin’sall-state junior midfielder/forward.

Since dropping its season opener,the girls soccer team has been on aroll. The Lady Redcoats knocked offBristol Central, 6-3, and Bristol East-ern, 1-0, last week to improve to 2-1-1.

“Our offense was on fire andeverything we touched turned into agoal,” BHS coach Steve Yanosy saidof the Bristol Central tilt.

Bianca Jacques had a hat trick forthe victors, and freshman teammateMichelle Grieco added two goals andan assist. Kelly Cohen accounted forBerlin’s other tally.

“It was a game in which BristolCentral never gave up and continuedto fight,” said Yanosy. “Fortunatelyfor us, our offense provided enoughcushion.”

Freshman Taylor Budney notchedthe lone goal in the Bristol Easternmatchup; the score coming with 20minutes to play.

“This time, our defense, led bySophia Morell, Cassidy Goodwin,Sam Carbonell, Shannon Mahoney,

Spectators flocked to SagePark Fridaynight andwere treatedto quite ashow.

The Berlin High Schoolfootball team opened a 19-point third-quarter leadover Rocky Hill, but foundthe visitors hard to putaway.

With their backs to thewall, the Terriers managedto slice their deficit to justfive heading into the fourth,

and then threatened to takethe lead.

However, a costlyturnover – a fumble createdand recovered by Kyle Young– proved to end the RockyHill comeback, as the hometeam held on, 25-14.

“We were cruising alongpretty good,” said BHS coachJohn Capodice, whose teamimproved to 2-0. “But theyhave a good back over there(Chris Young), and if he hitsthe seam he’s going to go.Two times we had trouble fit-ting in, and he brokethrough.”

Lucky for the Redcoats

there wasn’t a third time.“It was a great experience

to play four quarters and bein a competitive situation atthe end,” Capodice said.“Rocky Hill was drivingdown and Kyle Young madean outstanding play.”

Young’s fumble recoveryand return set up the finaltouchdown of the night, arun by Scott McLeod, whichproved to knock the wind outof Rocky Hill (1-1).

Justin Gombotz recordedtwo TDs for Berlin, WojtusZak had one, and quarter-back Mitch Williams com-pleted 10 passes for 121 yards.

The victors amassedsome 500 yards with theball.

“I thought those kids didan outstanding job,”Capodice said of his of-fense, highlighting theefforts of linemenTyler Bouchard, MitchBlanchette, AnthonyDuong, Hector Rodriquez,Dante Vasi, Connor Morinand Zak. “Those guys con-trol the line of scrimmage,and Justin Gombotz andScott McLeod did an out-standing job running theball and gave us an opportu-nity to control the game.

And when we had to throwit, Mitch was successful.”

Overall, Capodice wasalso pleased with his de-fense in Week 2.

“If you take away those(third-quarter) runs, I don’tthink Rocky Hill had toomuch total offense,” hesaid.

The veteran coachpraised the work turned inby safety Mike Pompianand linebacker Mike Tirin-zoni.

The Redcoats will faceundefeated Tolland on theroad Saturday. Game timeis 1 p.m.

“We look forward to get-ting better at each practiceand translating that into pos-itive results on the field.”

are going to move forwardwith a request for a proposalfor the actual design of thepark.”

During the meeting, coun-cil members said they hopethe discussion for a skate-board park in town is not over.Salina said it would not be fairto skateboarders to have askateboard park in that loca-tion given the outcry of disap-proval from the public, al-though he believes the areawas, and still is, ideal.

“I think those that areskateboarding there will be

under complete scrutiny ifthey leave a bag or do any-thing that can be construed asnot being respectful to the vet-erans,” Salina said. “But Ithink, quite frankly, it won’tbe an enjoyable location forthem.”

Council members DavidEvans and William Ras-mussen said there are peoplein town with misconceptionsof skateboarders, such as hav-ing a lack of respect for au-thority and their sole intentwould be to use a skateboardpark for a graffiti canvas thatwould spill over to the veter-ans’ monuments.

Rasmussen said he doesnot understand why a bocce

court, horseshoe pit and exer-cise stations are approved ac-tivities, but a skateboard parkis not - and why it was exclud-ed in the design plans forPhase II.

“Based on the input I haveheard, it appears that peopleare fearful of anyone using askateboard park,” Rasmussensaid. “I don’t think that’s afair characterization of allthe people who might use it.”

Deputy Mayor Rachel Ro-chette said if expectationsfor the youth are set low, thenthat is where kids will rise. “Itruly believe that to discrimi-nate against a small sectionof our community is not theright thing to do.”

She said if expectationswere set high, then kids wouldrise to meet those expectationsof respecting the veterans andthe park.

“I think it is unfortunate inour town that we have a smallsegment in the communitythat does not have the capacityto go out and do what theylove, which is skateboarding,”she said. “We have monu-ments and memorials aroundtown and we have a beautifulmemorial at Veterans Park. Idon’t begrudge that and I saidit before, my disagreementabout this is not out of disre-spect for the veterans, but I dobelieve we are a communitythat needs to serve all the peo-

ple who live here.”Rochette said in the future

she hopes the citizens whosaid they are not opposed to askateboard park --just the loca-tion of it being in VeteransPark, -- will express their sup-port if the town has to appro-priate money for the construc-tion of a skate park some-where in town.

But Salina said if the townhad to appropriate money forthe project, he imagines coun-cil chambers will be full ofpeople against the funds beingused for a skate park andwould rather see the moneyused for streetscapes, side-walks and repairs.
