Mill rate expected to increase with subdued market By Monica Szakacs The Berlin Citizen

Every five years a state-mandated revaluation of real estate property gets underway. The purpose of the revaluation is to establish a “fair” tax rate. If a person has more taxable property, then, in theory, he or she can afford to pay more in local taxes. During a reassessment process, data goes back to the last revaluation. In Berlin, the last revaluation was done in 2007. A revaluation redistributes the tax base and it captures the current market, according to Assessor Joseph Ferraro. “The market conditions were higher five years ago,” Ferraro said. “Since then, the market has come down and Berlin’s reassessment program reflects the influx of change.” When accessing real estate, Ferraro said, the market conditions react on different

classes of properties. When looking at residential properties there are different categories, such as ranches, colonials, condominiums, and multi-families, among others. These property value rates change differently over time. “When (the assessor’s office) analyzes our sales, the data tells us what is happening in the market and unfortunately it is down,” he said. If the market value increases it does not automatically mean a resident will see an increase in taxes, Ferraro said. It is the reverse of an increase. When the market value drops, then the mill rate increases to offset the change and the 10 percent decrease in the grand list. Overall, there was an 8.2-percent decrease in property value, but some residents had 20See Revaluation, page 9

‘Vocabulary Magic’ helps to increase science literacy development By Monica Szakacs The Berlin Citizen The McGee Middle School science department has been working not only on science and inquiry skills, but also on literacy skills that are at the level of the Common Core State Standards expectation for each grade, according to McGee Principal Scott Ratchford. “The department has been really a head of where the common core asks us to be with infusing literacy skills into the sciences,” he said. “All subjects should really help the goal to construct and reinforce literacy.” According to the Common Core State Standards Initiative website, the goal is to “focus on core conceptual understandings and procedures starting in the early grades, thus enabling teachers to take the time needed to teach core concepts and procedures well — and to give students the opportunity to master them.” McGee eighth grade science teacher Jason Rosa and three of his students,

Sarah Daddario, Ashley Skinner and Melody Zielke, demonstrated a lesson — during a Feb. 25 Board of Education meeting — that shows one of the ways literacy is being integrated into the school’s science curriculum. The tool used is “Vocabulary Magic” cards. Rosa set a bag of 18 cards - nine terms, nine definitions and nine pictures - in front of the students and also gave the BOE members (in groups of three and two) their own bags to participate in the demonstration. Their first instruction was to sort the cards into three piles. They then had to place the term cards in a row in alphabetical order. Rosa said for many students at the start of eighth grade, it would be the first time they’ve seen these words so before the game is continued, as a class they read through the words in order. During the BOE demonstration, Rosa had asked the members read the terms together as a group: “cell, chromosome, code, DNA, gene, nucleus, offSee Standards, page 23

tor of St. Paul Church. “That is why we have been using the KGS property without permission for so many years. We believe that our decision is a vote of confidence in our parish and its future.” It will cost $598,000 to purchase the property and estimates are between $1,000,000 and $1,200,000 to abate and tear down the building. “We will pay for the property with $400,000 from our savings and a five-year bridge loan from the Knights of Columbus,” Schlageter said. “We have a lot of work and sacrifice ahead of us, but I assure you this purchase is important for the future of our parish.” Schlageter told the parishioners march 3, at all of the Sunday Masses.

House fire kills 18 cats, owner survives By Monica Szakacs The Berlin Citizen

The morning of Feb. 28, firefighters extinguished a house fire that killed 18 cats in Berlin. All four Berlin Fire Departments responded to a call at 1:30 a.m., Feb. 28, at 62 Smoky Hill Rd., according to Deputy Fire Marshal Matt Odishoo. Within a half hour, the fire was under control. The owner of the house and several other pets were rescued. Upon arrival, an attached garage and breezeway were fully engulfed with flames spreading into the main

part of the house. The homeowner was out of the structure, however, while firefighters were trying to salvage the house, they observed a large amount of animals. Odishoo said approximately one dog and seven cats were treated with oxygen by the fire department. “Looking further, they actually discovered to what turned out to be 18 cats that had passed away in one of the rooms,” Odishoo said. “Animal control was called and with their assistance, the animals were removed from the home. The animals that did survive were actually turned over to animal

control for now.” The incident was under investigation by the Fire Marshal Office to determine the cause and origin of the fire, which Odishoo said was an accidental electrical fire. “Based on facts from the homeowner, she said she saw a fire in the attached mud room,” he said. “In that area, from what she told us, there were a couple of heaters and an extension cord used to keep some birds she had in there warm.” Odishoo said there was extensive damage to the area and firefighters could

only find parts of the heaters. He said the house did not seem to be in any town or fire code violation. “As far as I know, the fire department has never been out there and I don’t think the health department or zoning has ever gone out there for any issues,”

Odishoo said. “Most of the pets were indoor cats. There was nothing that would have put that house on the town’s radar for any reason. She had a legal right to keep that many pets.” The Red Cross is currently taking care of the homeowner, Odishoo said.

Here are The Berlin Citizen poll results from last week. We asked: Do you think it is a good idea to have student achievement a part of teachers’ evaluations? Yes, it should have always been an aspect of evaluations. It’s about students’ success. 42% No, it’s not a teacher’s fault if a student doesn’t want to learn. 17% Yes, but as a small percentage. Some students learn differently. 42% This week’s poll question asks: Would you travel on the Titanic II?

Do you know that March is Women’s History Month? It was designated in 2011. At the time, President Obama called on all Americans to reflect Clementsen on the extraordinary accomplishments of women in shaping this country’s history. Do you know that March 8 is International Women’s Day? I first heard about International Women’s Day about 10 years ago from a Russian man I was tutoring in English. We were comparing Russian and American holidays throughout the year. He said it has been a national holiday in Russia since 1917. It honors all women — sisters, mothers, aunts, daughters, co-workers, young and old women. Typically, he said, one gives a small gift, chocolate or yellow flowers, preferably yellow mimosa, a flower not usually stocked by New England florists. He said it is not like our Mother’s Day. It lacks the sentimentality and, I suspect, the commercialism of Mother’s Day. It recognizes the fact that not all women will become mothers. Historically, the holiday may have begun in the United States in 1909 as International Working Women’s Day, as a Socialist political event. In 1911, the Suffragettes moved onto the scene to advocate for women’s right to vote.

By 1977, the United Nations General Assembly had its member states to observe March 8 as a day for women’s rights and world peace. Over the years, the UN has offered for emphasis varied but recurring themes such as Women and Human Rights (1998), World Free of Violence Against Women (1999) and Afghan Women Today: Realities and Opportunities (2002). The UN theme for International Women’s Day 2013 is “A promise is a promise: Time for action to end violence against women.” This is an important issue, considering that 87 percent of women worldwide experience some kind of physical violence

Last call to clear sidewalks With Blizzard Charlotte nearly three weeks behind in the past, The Public Works Department reminds Berlin residents of the sidewalk ordinance that is in place. As the warmer weather approaches and with daylight hours being extended, there is an increase in pedestrian traffic and outside activities enhancing sidewalk usage. Town ordinances (Chapter XIV, Article 1, Sec. 14-11) states that “an owner of land or buildings fronting on any street or public place ... where there is any sidewalk shall, within twelve (12) hours of daylight, or not to exceed twenty-four (24) hours of elapsed time immediately following the cessation of a storm of snow...cause the same to be removed from such sidewalk. The Ordinances provide that failure to remove said snow shall result in a fine after an initial warning.” The Public Works Department recognizes the difficulties that many property owners have incurred in making an effort to comply with the provisions of this ordinance. Property owners are further requested to comply with this ordinance to avoid being penalized for non-compliance at this time.

Fire department plans World Trade Center steel memorial learned that the application process had closed. Although applications were no longer being accepted, the Port Authority informed the department to be patient and if another organization did not pick up their artifact, the department request could still be accepted. On Oct. 2, 2012, the department’s patience was rewarded when it was notified that it had been approved for a WTC artifact. After several months of back and forth emails and phone calls, the long wait came to an end on Monday, Feb. 18, when the non-descript box from UPS was signed for at the firehouse. The box remained un-

By Lt. Matt Odishoo, BFD Special to The Citizen The long process for the Berlin Fire Department to receive a piece of World Trade Center steel ended Feb. 18. The journey started back in 2009 when BFD learned the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey began allowing organizations to petition for steel from the WTC. In May 2012, as the BFD was completing its design for a flagpole area, it was decided that it would petition to acquire a piece of steel. The first contact with the Port Authority was a bit disheartening when it was

opened until our department meeting that evening when Captain Kaczmarek opened the package. Plans are currently in the works to display the artifact

at the Town Hall to allow residents an opportunity to view it. After that, the steel will be moved to its permanent location below the American Flag at the Berlin

Firehouse. Some facts about the artifact: ID# I-0007J, length: 27 inches, width: 12 inches, height: 10 inches, weight: 95 pounds.

Grammar School into a residential living area with additional units on the property, but the developer did not receive approval from the Planning and Zoning Commission. Salina met with the parish leadership in Febru-

ary and assured them of his support and the town’s support for the project. He said he would do anything he could to help the parish in this endeavor. “I am very happy St. Paul Church is purchasing the KGS property,” Salina said. “The building has been a blight on the neighborhood and our community for far

too long. I know there have been concerns with previous proposals on this property, but as I explained to the parish leadership, I am just happy that someone will take an active role to clean up the property and put it to good use. This acquisition will not only benefit the church, but it will also have the least amount

of impact to the property’s neighbors.” “When you think of having a problem it is usually negative, but in St. Paul’s case it is positive because they are a growing parish and church,” he added. The church is purchasing the property for three major reasons: to secure parking for parishioners who have become dependent on the spaces; to protect the neighborhood from any future development; and to give future members of the parish the option to improve and expand services. Once the sale is complete, the first priority is to restrict access to the building for safety reasons. “In the spring, we will ask our parishioners for help in cleaning up the property as best we can,” Schlageter said. It will continue to serve as additional parking in the future. Parish leadership will work toward abating and demolishing the building. Rehabilitation is not an option because of extensive deterioration. “We have been told that the cost to rehabilitate the

building would be over $5 million, in addition to the necessary abatement,” Schlageter said. Schlageter addressed the question why the church did not buy the property years ago when it was offered by the town for a cheaper price. “At the time, the church had no reserve funds or savings to abate, or take down the building,” Schlageter said. “No one had done any environmental studies and there were lots of unknowns. I am also told that at that time the cost to abate the building was substantially more than it is now.” As he leads his parish in this purchase, Schlageter is reminded of another St. Paul pastor, Fr. Brennan, who invested in the parish’s future 100 years ago. In 1913, Brennan and the people of St. Paul, decided to purchase the current property at the corner of Alling Street and Peck Street after fire destroyed the original church on Main Street. “Can you imagine? They never thought they’d use all the land,” Schlageter said. “We’re getting ready for the next 100 years.”

percent of a decrease in their value, which is a big factor in a revaluation year, according to Town Manager Denise McNair. “Usually when a revaluation happens your mill rate is high so when the values go up you’re able to go down in your mill rate,” McNair said. “But this is opposite because the values went down.” “For example if the norm was 10 percent and you went down 5 percent, it’s a good chance you will get a tax increase. If the norm was 10 percent and you went down 15 percent, it looks like you’re going to get a decrease,” ferraro said. “Depending on what the norm was is depending on how the tax structure is going to be.” Ferraro said there are three pieces to the puzzle of the revaluation process: the grand list, the budget and the mill rate. The town is currently in a budget session. Once the budget is approved, then the new mill rate will be set. Berlin’s current mill rate is 25.12. What that means for taxpayers is that for every $1,000 they own on the grand list, they pay $25.12 to support the current town budget. “It will increase but to what, I am not sure,” Ferraro said.

Griswold’s video submission in first place With eight days to go, Griswold Elementary School is currently in first place, with 12,000 votes, to win $60,000 worth of educational products and services in the Follett Challenge. The school needs the public’s help to keep the top spot. The challenge is run by Follett to recognize and reward schools’ educators for their work applying technology, content and creativity in ways that engage students, foster literacy and promote critical thinking. As part of the competition, Griswold created a short video about its program. The video is posted on the Follett Challenge website for the public to vote for their favorite school. Griswold is one out of 114 schools across the U.S. to have made it to this point in the competition. Six winning schools will be awarded with the cash-equivalent of a total of $200,000 in educational prizes. Thirty percent of the school’s total entry is determined by the number of votes its video receives from the public. Video submissions have to highlight the schools’ innovative achievements within three to five minutes. Griswold’s video showcases an array of teachers’ lessons from kindergarten through fifth grade and features the teachers and library staff interacting with their students. The public will vote until March 15 for the school with the best video overview about its library program. Griswold’s submission is available on the Follett Challenge website at the direct link: www.follettchallenge.com/video.cfm?id=284. After registering, users can cast one vote per day. The Follett Challenge winners will be notified by April 5.

Enforce the law

To the editor: Who enforces the law? One would have to think that if the people were fined for not clearing sidewalks and fire hydrants, then the town would have plenty of money to pay for overtime and extra help that was hired. The fines should not be waived just because of the size of the storm. We had beautiful weather the week following the storm to get things cleared up and opened up. What bothered me was seeing a young woman pushing her child in a stroller on Farmington Avenue. Doesn’t anyone else (town offi-

‘I want a book about trains!’ By Helen Aveline Special to The Citizen cials) see this? Why? Two weeks and counting after the storm and not all sidewalk and hydrants are cleared. The town crews did a great job with what they had to deal with. So, fine the people who did not comply with the law and maybe that would wake people up. David R. Contino Berlin

The Berlin-Peck Memorial Library children’s department staff often receive requests for a specific topic or item, such as animals or trains. And with several thousand picture books in the library, you may think that it would be simple to find one. But it’s exactly because of that fact that it isn’t

always an easy request. But that’s about to change. Typically, picture books are arranged alphabetically by the author’s last name. This is convenient for the library staff who may be looking for a particular book. However, it is not that easy for patrons (and library staff) who are looking for books on a certain subject. And since adults are the primary users of this collection with their preschoolers, if they are seeking something they usually ask for it by subject. On the other hand, once you show a little girl where the princess books are, they will make a beeline for that section every time they come in. Thus, it made sense to us to reorganize the children’s picture books into popular categories and create a browsing collection. We are beginning with

From the Friends of the Worthington Ridge Meeting House

Town trivia part 2 By Sallie Caliandri Special to the The Citizen

Okay, so you got the first two questions. Congratulations! Now things might get a little more interesting, but it’s not that hard. Let’s keep going. Berlin’s town seal shows a figure. Who is he? What makes him so special to Berlin? The town seal, adopted April 1, 2008, shows a man in colonial dress with a backpack, basket, and walking stick. This is to commemo-

rate the Scotch-Irish Pattison (or Patterson) brothers, William and Edward, tinsmiths, who came from Ireland to Connecticut around 1740. Catherine North, in her “History of Berlin, CT” related a story that Edward Pattison came to Berlin from Boston with only 18 cents to his name. Edward’s brother William was in Kensington by 1747 and siblings Anna, Noah, and Jennie came soon afterward. William and Anna stuck around and married into the Dunham and Galpin

families, while Noah and Jennie moved south and out of the realm of Berlin history. Edward Pattison married Elizabeth Hills of Middletown (which could have been in present-day Berlin), and opened a shop a little north and across the street from Lt. Samuel Hart, grandfather of Emma Hart Willard. That street, now called Lower Lane, had been called Hart Street, for all the families of that name that lived there. Soon the sounds of hammer upon metal could be heard all over the area. The tinware produced by the Pattison brothers proved to be very popular. It was much lighter than the cast iron in common use, and it soon became the rage in central Connecticut. Edward and William began peddling their wares from house to house, and the demand became so great that they expanded to the rest of the state and all around the colonies. They sold a variety of implements that colonial housewives found so useful

that the term “Yankee Peddler” came to describe these ancestors of the traveling salesman. There was a hiatus during the American Revolution when tin was not available for import, but after the war production resumed. Tin shops began to spring up in many locations, and in the early 19th century there were at least 12 tin shops and 6 tin-tool manufacturers in town. Catherine North, who grew up on Worthington Ridge, and whose father

was town clerk for many years, remembered piles of scrap tin being turned up by ploughs. Some roads actually ‘rang’ from the metal underneath, and even as late as 1938 tin shavings were uncovered under an uprooted tree on Worthington Ridge after the hurricane. What does the word ‘Mattabesset’ mean? This is a tough one. Mattabesec was the Indian name for Middletown. Mattabesset

New fishway in East Berlin opens upstream access By Frogard Ryan Special to The Citizen

I was excited and curious when I arrived on a recent foggy morning at the StanChem complex in East Berlin to tour The Nature Conservancy’s fish-passage project on the Mattabesset River. As the Conservancy’s Connecticut state director, I had seen the plans for the U-shaped fishway around an old milldam on StanChem’s land, and I had received regular updates since construction started. I hadn’t seen the project in person, though. As StanChem President Jack Waller, Conservancy Connecticut Director of Migratory Fish Projects Sally Harold and I started our tour, carefully picking our way through snow-melt mud onsite, I was immediately struck by the work’s complexity. I also was reminded of the heavy lift conservation of nature can be. Most importantly, I was reminded of a fundamental truth: Conservation is made possible by people. If Connecticut’s natural resources are to be sustained into the future, it will be because people make it so. Meeting Mr. Waller and visiting the fish-passage project recharged my optimism that we will succeed.

The vast majority of dams in Connecticut are relatively small and privately owned. Many of them no longer serve the purposes for which they were built; some are at risk of failures that could threaten public safety. From an environmental perspective, dam removal can open access to critical upstream spawning habitats for such migratory fish as American shad, alewife and blueback herring. It can restore the natural, swift-moving flows that support native brook trout, and it can enhance water quality by improving nutrient and sediment transport. Removal isn’t always an option, of course, and that was the case for StanChem, where the impoundment created by the dam provides water that would be crucial should there be a fire onsite. In such circumstances, a well-thought-out fishway is a great—if not always easy— alternative. The project on the Mattabesset isn’t simple. It involves construction of a large U-shaped fishway of the length and slope needed to allow the fish to get around the dam. The fishway is fitted with wooden baffles to slow the water flow, and the turns in the U-shape were designed to accommodate finicky American shad, which don’t like

tight switchbacks. Alewife and blueback herring will also use the fishway. Because the dam has been a complete barrier, none of those species has been above it in maybe 100 years. All told, about 50 miles of habitat—including tributaries to the Mattabesset—will become available to them, improving the overall health of the Connecticut River system, of which the Mattabesset is part. An embedded tube for migrating American eels is part of the project, too, as is an observation room, from which the Connecticut Department Energy and Environmental Protection will gather information for its “No Fish Left Behind” reports about monitored fish runs across the state. A $308,000 Connecticut DEEP Ecosystem Management & Habitat Restoration grant, a $10,000 contribution from the Corporate Wetlands Restoration Partnership through Northeast Utilities, and private donations to The Nature Conservancy are helping pay for this work. And, of course, it couldn’t happen without StanChem’s active buy-in. With the state and the private and nonprofit

For Lady Redcoats, there’s much to be proud about Locals claimed division title, advanced to state quarterfinals By Nick Carroll The Berlin Citizen

The Lady Redcoats built an 11point lead in the third quarter of their CIAC Class L quarterfinal round state tournament game with RHAM, and led by eight in the fourth, but the cushion proved not quite big enough. Sarah Veilleux drained a buzzer-beating 3-pointer to force overtime, and No. 6 seed RHAM rode that momentum into the extra session where it pulled away for a 65-53 win over No. 3 Berlin Monday night at Gibney Gymnasium. Veilleux finished with a gamehigh 30 points, 24 of those coming after halftime. “She’s tough, she’s smart, she’s very skilled,” RHAM coach Tim Guernsey said of his junior star. “She’s one of those kids at the end of the game who you want with the ball in her hands. She knocked it down when she needed to.” Senior Ashley Malloy drew the Veilleux defensive assignment, an unenviable task. “I don’t think anyone’s played her that tough all season,” BHS

coach Sheila King said, lauding Malloy’s performance. “To hold her to six in the first half is phenomenal.” Malloy also did her part on offense, netting 14 points. Senior teammate Kailene Rampone pumped in a team-high 19 points, which included four 3-pointers. “Berlin was lights-out in the first half shooting-wise,” Guernsey said. “We were basically trying everything defensively. Rampone and Malloy killed us in the first half.” Rampone had eight first-quarter points and two 3-pointers, including a late one that put her team up 12-9 heading into the second. RHAM tallied the first six points of the second period to erase its deficit and pull ahead, but the advantage was shortlived. Malloy drained a 3 and Rampone converted on a three-point play to give the Lady Redcoats an 18-15 edge. Malloy would tally seven points in the frame, which ended with Berlin on top 25-19. A put-back by Paige Young gave the Lady Redcoats their

The locals went on to tear off a 10-2 run, capped by a Courtney Trzasko three-point play, to surge ahead 37-26. With its season on the line, RHAM regrouped, however, and closed out the third quarter with an offensive flurry to make it 3934, and anyone’s game, with one period to play. A trey by Rampone bumped Berlin’s lead to 42-34 at the outset of the fourth, but the locals could not land the knockout punch. RHAM improved to 21-2 and earned a semifinal round date with No. 10 Farmington. Berlin, which earned a firstround bye and topped No. 14 Bristol Eastern in Round 2, capped its 2012-13 campaign with See Hoop, page 20

Berlin swim team takes third at CCC meet Coach Thurston: ‘They were phenomenal’ By Jim Bransfield Special to The Citizen

The Berlin High School boys swim team didn’t win a title, but the Redcoats came away from the Central Connecticut Conference meet held Saturday at Bulkeley High School with positives. Berlin, which finished third behind champion Middletown and the Bristol co-operative program of Eastern and Central, was led by All-American Dan Klotz and a ton of best times. Berlin coach Eileen Thurston was pleased with the performance of her swimmers. “Where do I begin?,” she asked. “They were phenomenal; unbelievably good. We had personal bests all over the place.” Klotz won the 50 yard freestyle with a time of 21.89 seconds (a new pool record) and the 100 yard butterfly with a time of 53.04 seconds., Nathan Giaccone was second in diving to Middletown’s Dan Kinney, Luke Switzer was second in the 100 yard breaststroke, Adrian Wojtun was fifth in the 200 yard individual medley and sixth in the 500 yard

freestyle, and Ryan Marquis was fourth in the 100 yard freestyle. “We had amazing drops in times from Switzer and [Nate] Baretta in the breaststroke and [John] Long and Wojtun in the 500,” said Thurston. “The fourth by Marquis in the 100 and the eighth by [Fazli] Bozal and [Martin] Rathousky were great in that they all dropped at least a second off their best times.” Thurston also praised Tom Drozdzowski for dropping over four seconds off his best time in the 100 yard butterfly. “The kids set goals for themselves at the beginning of the season and they have accomplished them,” said Thurston. “They drive each other, they push each other. Most importantly, they tell us they believe in each other and they believe in the coaches. “My assistant Jen Atkins and Dan Thurston, who is the co-head coach, work so hard and are so important to the program.” Berlin will swim in the Class M state meet. Klotz is a for-sure participant, but the others are

on the edge. “I will take three full relay teams to states,” said Thurston of her 200 medley, 200 freestyle and 400 freestyle relay teams. “I will submit the times for several others and we’ll see if they will make trials. I am hopeful.” The final scores of the championship meet were: Middletown High — which also won the regular season dual meet championship — 346 points, Bristol 324.5, Berlin 225, Meriden (Maloney and Platt co-op) 153, Plainville 117.5 and Bulkeley 94. Plainville is coached by former Berlin swimmer Chris Zagorski. This is his first year at the Blue Devil helm. “My swimmers did well,” said Zagorski. “Especially when you consider that most of my 13 kids didn’t taper for this meet. They are preparing for the state meet.” The state diving trials and finals are this week. All four class swim championships will be held next week in Middletown at Wesleyan University.

a record of 20-3. Along the way, the Lady Redcoats secured the Central Connecticut Conference South Division title. “There’s nothing to hang their head about; 20-3 is beyond respectable,” said King. “There’s only eight teams left tonight, and there we were. I’m just very, very proud. They’ve had some great games this season, they stuck together as a team.” “I told them this one will hurt for a while,” the coach added. “But then they’ll have to look back and reflect on all the positives this season — and there were a lot of positives.”

was also one of the names for the tribe that often camped and hunted here. We

know the Mattabesset River, which has had so many names it’s hard to keep them all straight, and it’s one of the few Native American words that we use in rela-

tion to our town. Somewhere (of course now I can’t find the reference!) I had read that the word meant ‘the place of portage,’ meaning, you could only paddle your

canoe so far, and then you had to take it out of the water and carry it to your destination. That makes sense, when you think of the rapids in East Berlin and

probably further upstream. They might have paddled down the Connecticut River into the Mattabesset as far as they could, and then carried their canoes over land to get to the Quinnipiac River and New Haven. Native peoples often hunted in our town, but the larger villages were elsewhere; Pyquag in Wethersfield, Mattabesec in Middletown, Tunxis in Farmington, and Quinnipiac in New Haven. The tribes were all part of the Algonquin nation who spoke a similar language that might have had local variations. The people who lived here have been called Mattabessets, and Wangunks. J. Hammond Trumbull, author of “Indian names of places in and on the borders of Connecticut,” published in 1881, defines Mattabesset as a “place at a

sectors involved, the cooperation that characterizes this project is a model for conservation, but it wouldn’t be possible without the commitment of a lot of individuals who want to make a difference. Mr. Waller, whose buoyant enthusiasm for the project is infectious, comes to mind, as does DEEP Supervising Fisheries Biologist Steve Gephard, a long-time champion of the project. A great deal of work was done last year to improve the health of Connecticut’s rivers and streams. In East Berlin, Farmington, Stonington and elsewhere, there were real successes with dam removal and fish passage. With so many of Connecticut’s dams privately owned, the future of this type work depends greatly on individuals—including, I hope, some readers here—who see and cherish the opportunity to make a difference. There are so many dams out there where work of real ecological value could be done. Perhaps one of them is yours. Frogard Ryan is state director for The Nature Conservancy in Connecticut.

spring, section, trait.” Next, the students and BOE members were instructed to place the picture cards into the bag and one by one, each person in each group, had to take a card out and place it under the term he or she thought it belongs without conversing with each other. Once a picture was placed underneath a term, it could not be moved. Rosa then instructed everyone to repeat the process with the definition cards. During a science lesson in the classroom, Rosa said, the teacher would then show a 30 second PowerPoint video displaying the correct answers. Students are instructed to memorize as much as they can from the video without looking at their cards. Vocabulary Magic was developed by Joanne Billingsley, a former Texas regional Teacher of the Year and a nationally-acclaimed lecturer for the Bureau of Education and Research and the Greenleaf Brain Institute. Being a science educator herself, Billingsley had ordered the card pictures custom made as a way to demonstrate and illustrate each concept in the best possible way. There is also an index card with diagrams to help give students more contexts to solve the rest of the cards. Some of the words on the

definition cards are in bold. Students may decide to write down the whole definition but if they only decide to write down the bold words for each term, then they are still left with an accurate definition that is easier to remember, according to Rosa. Each “Vocabulary Magic Integrated Science Bundle” includes materials for 15 students working in groups of three: 165 card sorts, two DVDs with 33 vocabulary trailers, and 33 PowerPoint presentations, plus a teacher guidebook to building academic vocabulary with the cards. “There is a set of about 25 card games that have been developed to go along with these cards and 33 card sorts come in a package that are filed into life science, earth science and physical science,” Rosa said. “These cards follow the national science standards and even follow the spiral curriculum we have at McGee Middle School.” One of the eighth grade Common Core science standards requires that students be able to explain the relationship between genes, chromosomes and DNA. Rosa said it is one of the more difficult eighth grade science standards because, Rosa said, “not only are those definitions all relatively similar, but they are all very abstract concepts because you can’t

really see or hold any of those things. You can only approximate how they work in their relationship using models.” When Rosa looked back at last year’s midterm test scores, only 67 percent of the students were able to explain the relationship between the three concepts. This is also a question on the Connecticut Mastery Test that eighth graders take every year. After one class period of playing card games this semester, students were able to use various genetic terms in a cohesive sentence. Some student examples from

Rosa’s classroom are: “An offspring inherits some of their parents’ traits and one gene from their mother and one gene from their father.” “A cell contains DNA, which is in the form of a chromosome.” “Each offspring has DNA that holds different traits.” “They showed extremely high level of comprehension right off the bat,” Rosa said. The science department recently gave all eighth grade students a quiz related to genetics and asked a question about the relationship between DNA, chromosomes and genes, similar to the

question on last year’s CMT. “For the entire McGee eighth grade class, the number of students that got that question correct was over 95 percent,” Rosa said. “That’s something, and it certainly has something to do with the way the students comprehend the vocabulary because of this activity.” The three students who participated in the demonstration told the BOE that since the vocabulary magic cards use pictures, terms and definitions, it helped to visually stimulate their memory.
