It seems the vitriol of Washington, D.C. has infected Berlin,” said Rosso. Campanelli also spoke out about the appointments in the statement.
McGee aims to drum out bullying By Ashley Kus The Berlin Citizen
McGee Middle School students danced and clapped to drum beats Friday, Jan. 29, all while gaining some self-confidence. It was all part of Rob Gottfried’s – Rob the Drummer’s – performance to teach youngsters about bullying, substance abuse, and self-esteem. Rob the Drummer has appeared on several television programs, ranging from Sesame Street to MTV. Among his long list of credits is performing for the President and First Lady. Gottfried uses his talent as a drummer to teach kids about serious subjects in a fun and interactive manner. “Drums let you express yourself Rob the Drummer taught youngsters at McGee how to drum-out bullying with an interactive performance, Friday, Jan, 29.

“We should be evaluating each appointee based on what they have done and can do for our community. I worry that Berlin is going to suffer if we go down the path of applying a one-size fits all litmus test based on political party,” she said. Mayor Mark Kaczynski commented on the appointments. “We tried to See Appointments / Page A3
Police chief’s goals include new station, safety programs By Ashley Kus The Berlin Citizen
This could be a big year for the Berlin Police Department. Recently, Chief Paul Fitzgerald revealed a list of goals that he hopes to achieve by next year. These are in addition to primary objectives such as crime prevention, among other daily concerns. “These are beyond the normal ones I set for the department every year,” the chief said. The first item on the list is a new police station. The process of attempting to move into a bigger and better location has been ongoing for years. “It’s been See Police / Page A2

Younger residents, particularly elementary school students, are also part of the chief ’s goals this year. Currently, officers come into the schools on a safety basis. They also lead middle school and high school programs. Now, Fitzgerald wants to offer similar programs at the elementary schools. “We want them to feel comfortable and familiar with officers,” he said of the young students. While Fitzgerald is happy to be focusing on the community as a whole, he is also taking the officers into account. “The career of a police officer can be very difficult but also very rewarding,” he said. Fitzgerald’s fourth and final goal is to make sure officers receive the training and support they need to help each other deal with traumas related to the job. “They’re exposed to so much, and they are people like everyone else,” he said. Officers will be trained to be peer supporters who are able to offer help and resources to co-workers who may need it. Fitzgerald hopes this all will make for a stronger police department.

in discussion for all 13 years that I’ve been here,” Fitzgerald said. Now, he wants to get things moving. The price estimate for the new station will be available mid-February. From there, the department and town will have a lot to look over. Fitzgerald said a new station is a necessity. “We need a more habitable environment,” he explained. “We are looking for a more
efficient work area.” The station on Kensington Road is not handicap accessible and houses an outdated jail type system with bars. Fitzgerald noted that the dispatch area in particular is very small and would be more effective in a bigger building. The current station does not allow for expansion. Fitzgerald’s next goal is derived from a request to the Police Commission to conduct a program on firearm safety. Fitzgerald plans to have the department instruct citizens on the subject. Another issue the chief wants to educate residents about is cyber safety. “This is a frequent problem encountered by many people, especially senior citizens,” he explained. The plan is to give the department the opportunity to go to the Senior Center during the day and talk about ways to avoid cyber scams and hacks. Other similar safety programs will be held at the library or Community Center, with an open discussion forum. “These are issues where we can advise people how to protect themselves,” Fitzgerald said.

in a good way,” he told the McGee audience. During the presentation, Gottfried used an interactive animation to demonstrate – and spur a conversation about – bullying situations. He played out a scene where the animated character, which resembled him, kicked a younger kid off the drums and bullied him. Gottfried explained to the students that this wasn’t right and, instead, the cartoon character should have channeled his frustration into a healthier outlet. Gottfried then demonstrated letting out anger on a drum set on stage. “You can let your emotions go in a positive direction instead,” he said. Several students got up to help out Gottfried and participate in the drumming. They mimicked his drumming patterns on a set of smaller drums. One drum was designed to echo sound, and filled the whole auditorium with music. Before the selected students left the stage, Gottfried gave them drumsticks. Their classmates cheered in support. “We are always looking for ways to make a more positive climate,” McGee Assistant Principal David Kitzman said. The topics covered by Gottfried coincided with what the students were learning in class. Kitzman explained that bullying and character-building were part of the discussions taught in the school’s advisory program and health curriculum. “We want kids to feel like this is a safe place that they belong in,” Kitzman said. He noted that Gottfried’s presentation was a positive and fun way to send that message to
students. “Just for a minute, don’t think; no conversations inside or outside,” Gottfried told the eighth grade audience. The drummer’s performance for those students was deeper and more in-depth than his earlier one with the sixth and seventh graders. But both crowds participated in group exercises such as clapping to a rhythm and doing “the wave” in unison. “This is why it’s important to practice,” he told the crowd after playing his drum set at lightning speed. Gottfried ended the energy-filled show with a dance party. Students, and even teachers, flooded the aisles to dance to popular hits before heading back to class. The presentation was sponsored by the Joseph Manzi Foundation. Manzi was a 1998 Berlin High School graduate and an avid musician.

Residents weigh in on winery regulations By Ashley Kus
The Berlin Citizen
Rustic barns and sloping hills are just a few of the assets on the Chamberlain Highway that one Berlin resident hopes to incorporate into a local winery. Bradford Kelley spoke at a recent Planning and Zoning Commission meeting, adding to the discussion of amending winery regulations in town. Kelley is envisioning a winery on a 24-acre farm just off Southington Road. He painted a mental picture of stretches of grape vines with a sunny patio situated at the top of the hill. The old barn on the land would be restored, and hay-
rides would be an option for autumn days. The town is in the process of looking into winery operations in surrounding towns, according to Development Services Director Hellyn Riggins. She noted that she was going off state regulations to create a first draft. The public hearing on proposed regulations last week received plenty of opinions from residents, many concerned about the area farms. “This is proposed, nothing is set in stone,” said Planning and Zoning Commission Chairman Bruce Moore. “These regulations are not site specific, we are not just having a discussion on the ap-
proval of one spot,” Riggins clarified. With the amendment, wineries would be allowed in several spots around town not just within Kelley’s proposal. The public hearing will continue at the next Planning and Zoning meeting. There will also be a meeting in March concerning agricultural regulations. However, any type of winery will not be sprouting up anytime soon. Kelley told the board that it takes five years for grapes to mature and be used for quality wine. In that time frame, it would take at least two to three years to form an operational wine business. He gave the com-

She dismissed it by stating that Hitchcock was British and the British have a different sense of humor. Hull said, even now, as an adult, Mumy does not have fond memories of working with Hitchcock.

Fa l i n t ro d u ce d Co r tlandt Hull, whose great uncle Henry Hull was the first werewolf. Cortlandt Hull had the opportunity to both meet many make-up artists from shows like “Planet of the Apes” and to visit the sets of shows such as “Batman” and “Land of the Giants.” Hull developed a strong interest in Sci-Fi television shows like “Lost in Space.” He even had dinner with Bill Mumy who went on to have an accomplished movie career after playing Will Robinson in “Lost in Space.” As part of the library presentation, the audience enjoyed watching the first episode of “Lost in Space.” It aired on CBS in 1965 in blackand-white and had a futuristic setting in the year 1997. On the show, the Jupiter 2 was launched and sabotaged. The first episode ends with Mrs. Robinson attempting to save her husband’s life after his cable snaps while he was trying to repair damage to the exterior of Jupiter 2. “Lost in Space” was one of the first television shows of that era to end with a cliffhanger each week. Hull concluded the presentation by showing a segment of a recent interview he did with Mumy for a documentary. In the segment, Mumy tells an entertaining story about his work, at the age of seven, in the film “Bang! You’re Dead.” That movie was directed by Alfred Hitchcock, who Mumy found to be an imposing fig-
ure. He described Hitchcock as always sweating, wearing a black suit, a black tie and a white shirt with huge jowls hanging down over the neck of his shirt. One day, Mumy said he was fidgeting during the last segment to be filmed that day. Hitchcock got up, walked over and bent down to Mumy. Hitchcock whispered in his ear, “If you don’t stop moving I’m going to get

Opinion All about football By Elijah Santos Can you believe that one day you can be a professional athlete in the sport of football and learn all the positions? You can get great exercise and develop great sportsmanship while playing this sport. Football is a fun sport to play, and if you make it to the NFL you can even get paid to play and have fun! There are many different positions to learn in the sport of football. A wide receiver is a really important position in football. If there weren’t wide receivers, who would block for the running back on an outside run? Who would get the pass if a tight end was not open during a pass? I mean, you can’t run the ball all the time. Another important player would be the quarterback. The quarterback has many important jobs to do and without them there wouldn’t be a game. Who would make the passes or get the snap? Who would make the hand off? These jobs are done by the quarterback. Defense is a very important side of the game. If there was no defense, what would be the goal for the offense? Who would prevent the other team from scoring? It would be a boring game if there was no challenge involved. A great team needs both a strong offense and a tough defense. All of these positions on the field make for great exercise. Unquestionably, in football, you get a great workout. Part of your practices include warm up exercises, which include sit ups, building stamina, and lots of running, as well as a lot of thinking. Football helps with balance, especially if you are clumsy. Problems with balance and coordination? Football will certainly help. In this sport, you will be a better runner with speed and distance. You will run “suicides” and do the sled. You will also run laps. During it, you might hate it but afterwards it is so worth it. You will feel so proud of yourself. During football, you will also exercise your brain. You will think about who has the ball and what to do next, always trying to think three steps ahead of the other team. You’ll think a whole lot about what you are doing and what the other team is doing. You also have to remember the rules of the game as you are playing. In football, you will support others and they will support you. You learn to be humble and to not be selfish. You learn to be like family to each other.
What football means With all the negative talk, rumor and innuendo being spewed about Berlin football I felt it necessary to forward a recent writing assignment completed by a 9-year-old Berlin Bears football player. I’ve had the pleasure of coaching Elijah Santos in football for the last two years. As his coach, I’ve seen firsthand how he interacts with his (family) teammates, the respect he has shown the coaches and officials, and the outcome of his hard work. This was not particular just to Elijah, as with most football players, the benefits from being involved with this sport can be seen on and off the field. Football doesn’t build character, it eliminates weak ones. I had the honor and privilege of playing Berlin football from age 7 to 18. It’s reassuring to see how another generation is holding the sport I love in such high regard. Please read what football means to this young man; it’s written with such sincerity and conviction. — Ben Murphy All around, people support you and you support others – that’s the beauty of football. It makes you confident in yourself and makes you believe you can do it. It’s okay to be proud of yourself, but to not get carried away. For example, if you make a touchdown and start dancing, the referee will call it back. This is just one of the many ways football teaches great sportsmanship. In this sport, you can’t be selfish. You aren’t always going to be the best and you have to learn there is no “I” in team. Your teammates and coaches all become family to you. You will always care for each other no matter what. You might get yelled at by your coaches, but only because they care – kind of like your parents. They encourage you to always do your best and to believe in yourself. Through third grade all the way through to the NFL, you will be together. After practices and games, we always yell “One, two three – family!” There are so many benefits of playing football. There are positions for every player, it is a great way to stay in shape, and this sport teaches all around great sportsmanship. Now do you see how football is an amazing sport to play?
Aresimowicz applauds bond commission funding House Majority Leader Joe Aresimowicz (D - Southington/ Berlin) applauded the State Bond Commission’s authorizations to support Connecticut’s manufacturing initiatives. The commission approved $2,500,000 in funding for the Board of Regents’ Higher Education’s Advanced Manufacturing

Letters to the Editor Things must change To the editor: Gov. Malloy goes to Washington for a “pat on the back.” He returns to learn of GE’s official move to Boston, Mass. It used to be “Taxachusetts,” however, Massachusetts reduced its tax profile according to the Tax Foundation’s Business-Tax Climate Index to 25th compared with Connecticut’s ranking of 44th out of 50 states. This improvement in business climate could happen in Connecticut if Gov. Malloy were interested. Connecticut can no longer keep its millennials and newly-minted 65-year old couples in-state. This is a well-known fact. And GE’s departure along with the potential of more large businesses to follow illustrates the ineptness of Gov. Malloy and the “Progressive Democratic” leadership in the legislature. They address every catastrophic event as a reason to raise taxes. Pension liabilities were conveniently placed outside of the current state budget cap while negotiating last year. The right approach would be to work with pub-
lic union bosses to realign pension benefits. Connecticut’s private sector does not see that level of generosity. But … they pay for it. Gov. Malloy and the Democratic leadership need to modify their progressive views and misplaced priorities and achieve the necessary concessions from the public union bosses. According to the Center of Retirement Research at Boston College, Connecticut has an unfunded pension liability of approximately 48 percent. Gov. Malloy did not create the problem. However, the primary funding source is a healthy private sector revenue stream. When the private sector is not flourishing in Connecticut – and it is not – the state will continue to fail. It is time for the governor, the legislature, with new leadership and businesses, to have legitimate seats at the table. Only then will Connecticut start to rebuild its former business climate. At present, I only hear crickets! Brad Parsons Berlin See Letters / Page A15

To the editor: I read your paper each week and pay attention to what many write about. People are legitimately concerned about the existing debt this town is carrying while new requests keep rolling in. We are told it is cheaper to buy two fire trucks instead of one and that we need a new police station all while we owe millions for a new high school. When we start paying that
bill things will become tougher for many on fixed incomes. Taxes will increase, so do we dare add more debt? Voters recently elected new leaders who promised to control spending, and we can only hope they stand firm. We need relief from the tax-and-spend practices that have so badly damaged our state and threaten our way of life in Berlin. People are struggling, so please say no to more debt. Tom Lillis Berlin

Health Mindful eating By Jane Grant Intuitive eating (also called mindful eating) is structured around the belief that people need to trust themselves enough to believe that they will eat what and how much food they need. When you eat intuitively, you use your internal cues for hunger, appetite and satiety to guide you. The truth is, only by eating what you truly want can you adequately nourish yourself and achieve optimal health – including a healthy weight. After many years of working with people who want to lose weight, one thing I know for sure is that very few people are able to achieve lasting success with traditional weight loss diets. Research clearly shows that dieting doesn’t work. While you may lose weight initially when dieting, there’s a good chance you will fail to keep it off, and may regain even more pounds than you lost. “Dieting” is a temporary attempt to lose weight and it often leads to an endless cycle of restriction, bingeing, and guilt. It’s all very negative.
Intuitive eating, on the other hand, is a positive supportive approach to eating using your body’s cues to guide you in deciding what, when, and how much to eat. It is centered on listening to your inner signals of hunger and fullness and responding accordingly. Stop dieting and start eating consciously in a way that makes your body feel well. Eating with intuition is different for every person, but the general aspect of listening to your body remains constant. In my practice, I find that more people are able to achieve their personal best weight with intuitive eating than with traditional dieting. I suggest you give it a try. These three steps will guide you in getting started. 1. Eat when you are hungry. Watch for your body’s hunger cues as your signal that it is time to eat. Eat enough to feel satisfied and comfortably full, not stuffed. Balanced meals that include whole grains, protein foods, vegetables, fruits, dairy products, and healthy fats promote satisfaction and satiety.
SUDOKU
2. Eat what you want. If you don’t, you’ll likely feel deprived and find yourself overeating. Restricting yourself from certain foods may also keep you on the hunt for food whether you’re hungry or not. If you notice that what you want is always the richer choice, you may still be caught up in feeling deprived from years of dieting. Try compromising by using richer foods in smaller quantities. 3. Eat until you’ve had enough. If you are used to eating until you’re uncomfortably full, you will likely need to work

Pets die in house fire on Wildem Road By Ashley Kus
The Berlin Citizen
A local family was displaced, and their pets perished after a house fire Friday, Jan. 29. Firefighters arrived to the scene on Wildem Road around 11 p.m. that night after the residents called in the fire. Crews arrived to a blaze in the basement of the two-and-a-half story home. Fire Chief James Simons said there was heavy smoke on the first floor. The pets in the house, two dogs and one cat, died. All four family members were able to leave the house safely. More than 40 firefighters from the town’s four fire departments responded to the fire. Back-up units were
required, with crews from Newington and Cromwell joining Berlin firefighters on the scene. Also, firefighters from the surrounding towns helped cover Berlin for other calls during the night. It took 45 minutes to get the Wildem Road fire under control. The last of the crews left just after 4 a.m. Saturday, Jan. 30. Two fire companies returned to the house to make sure nothing rekindled. Simons reports that the house was left intact but is non-inhabitable, with significant damage. The four residents of the home are now living with family. The cause of the fire is still Fire crews from Berlin and surrounding towns battle a house fire Friday night, Jan. 29, on under investigation. Wildem Road. | Berlin Volunteer Fire Department
