Better read the fine print
Editor,
Notwithstanding outgoing OPA Director [Dave] Stevens’ polemic about how a lot of owner’s applications to run for director of OPA should be passed around from committee to department, to secretary, to another committee, etc. Section 5.02(b) of OPA’s by-laws provides “The Secretary of the Association, not a committee or employee, shall verify the nominees meet the requirements of paragraph (a) of this section.”
Thanks for your service to the community, Dave. It’s good you are not running for reelection, as your application might have gotten lost in the shuffle.

Thanks for successful parade
Editor,
Many thanks to the community of Berlin for a very successful “Old Fashioned Memorial Day Celebration” on Flower Street on Monday, May 29.  
This event proved to be one of our biggest community participation days since the inception of our revamping this activity in our community.
The Berlin Community Improvement Association (BCIA) and the Old Fashioned Memorial Day Committee would like to thank the many people that helped to make this day a success:
Mayor Gee Williams and the Town of Berlin, Berlin Police Department, business supporters, our vendors, staff workers, military supporters, parade participants and media coverage.
We look forward to the years to come as our parade and festivities for Memorial Day grow in participation. Thank you again.
The Old Fashioned
Memorial Day Committee
