The countdown has begun for 2016 relay By Ashley Kus The Berlin Citizen

The Pine Loft on the Berlin Turnpike went purple on Tuesday, Jan. 12, in recognition of Berlin Relay for Life’s annual kick-off night. The relay doesn’t happen until May, at the Berlin Lions Fairgrounds, but runners and walkers alike were already pumped up for the activities. More than 50 people showed up at The Pine Loft. It was the first year, out of eight, that the coordinators made it an open house. “Basically, we wanted people to come and go as they pleased,” Berlin’s Relay for Life staff partner Lynn Kipphut said. “It’s a really great event and the kick-off just gets teams more involved.” The relay is a way to help end cancer through fundraising, while remembering those lost and honoring survivors. A table was set up at the kick-off for people to learn more about the relay and to sign up to take part in the event. Kipphut noted that

Residents may decide on charter revision

By Ashley Kus The Berlin Citizen

Berlin’s colorful Relay for Life kick-off was held Tuesday, Jan. 12. at The Pine Loft. | Lynn Kipphut / Submitted both returning and firsttime relay participants were present. “It’s an opportunity to reengage and motivate everyone,” she said. The theme at The Pine Loft was “paint your world purple,” with the décor showing support for the local relay. Besides food and

drinks – and a welcoming atmosphere – the kick-off also featured the unveiling of the new relay goal. This year, the Berlin relay aims to raise $55,000. “Many teams have already held fundraisers See Relay / Page A3

The decision to form a commission to revise the town charter may end up in the hands of Berlin voters. A petition was initiated by the Berlin Republican Town Committee after the motion to establish a commission failed to carry at the Town Council meeting, Tuesday, Jan. 5. The council needed a super-majority, rather than the usual majority, to pass the motion. All four Republican councilors voted in favor of the commission, while the Democratic councilors were not in

support of it. “This has the potential to impact the town for many years, and we are doing this at a time when we are in the process of determining whether we are going to retain our current corporation counsel or get a new counsel,” councilor Rachel Rochette (D) said. Mayor Mark Kaczynski, a Republican, stated that there needed to be faith that whoever was chosen as town attorney would be able to handle town business efficiently. See Charter / Page A2

Charter

A charter revision petition was launched by the Berlin GOP after the motion failed to carry at the Tuesday, Jan. 5, Town Council meeting.

From Page A1

The last charter revision was in 2007. The revision commission would be in place to look over the current charter and report potential issues to the council. Councilor Brenden Luddy (R) stated that the last Town Council voted unanimously to put money in the budget for a charter revision. “The input from the town staff

showed that there are a lot of procedural problems that need to be addressed,” he said. Councilor Charles Paonessa (R) said, “We are seeking a number of our concerned citizens to look at the charter and come back to the council regarding issues with the charter that they feel should be addressed, to help our town move forward.” Along with Rochette, councilors Kristin Campanelli (D) and Peter Rosso (D) voiced their concerns over the uncertainty of a new town attorney. Campanelli said that in reaching out to some of her constituents regarding charter revision, the response was an “overwhelming ‘no.’” Corporation counsel Robert Weber stated that the council would have 16 months

from the appointment of a Charter Revision Commission to submit a draft report. The petition will be circulating at several places around town. Republican Town Committee chair Anne Reilly hopes to have the petition handed into the town clerk by early next month. “This is a living, breathing document and it needs to be reviewed regularly,” she said of the town charter. Reilly noted that the GOP wants people to have a voice and contribute to major decisions, an issue that her party talked about in the lead up to the November election. “We are committed to doing this,” she said. To force a referendum, the petition needs the signatures of 10 percent of registered voters.

Renovation From Page A1

Smith told the council that there was more than $1.5 million still in contingency, with $800,000 in uncommitted allowances. He also commented that some safety egresses still had to be worked out with the building official. The auditorium, he said, is scheduled to be done by Oct. 1, while the music room will be finished by the end of summer. “We will be getting in the last of the seats and the sound system, but the program that surrounds it, we are planning to have turned over by the start of the school year,”

The updated Berlin High School cafeteria features skylights and cafestyle seating.

Smith said. Councilor David Evans inquired about the tracking of things that have been sent to the state for reimbursement, and have come back as disallowed. Smith explained that 22 change orders had been submitted. Since May, the state responded to all but five of those. The next phase of the renovations include the east and west side of the senior courtyard, as well as the social studies room, and will be completed by April break. Mayor Mark Kaczynski noted that he had toured the high school before the holidays and thought it looked great.

Dr. Ann Aresco and Earl Wicklund of Wicklund Builders cut the ribbon on Friday, Jan. 8 to officially open ProNatural Physicians Group on Webster Square Road. The new building is the first of six in the Stick Village development. “I am thrilled to be opening a medical center in my hometown that truly represents what the future of medical practices will be,” Aresco said. ProNatural Physicians Group LLC expanded from New Britain Road and brought both traditional and naturopathic physicians to the new location. The practice was presented a congratulatory certificate on Jan. 8 from the state in recognition of its grand opening. “I look forward to see-

Dr. Summer McAllister, a naturopathic doctor, also joined the new location after working with Aresco for four years. “My favorite part of all this is the blend of traditional and natural medicine,” the naturopath said. McAllister added that she is looking forward to the bigger space allotted at the new building. “We can have better treatment plans for our patients,” she said.

Thursday, January 21, 2016

Not only is the practice getting plenty of attention around town, the building itself was recognized as one of the state’s most notable economic growth projects. Wicklund was honored for the Stick Village development at the Celebrate CT! event last month in Hartford. The name “Stick Village” comes from a story told by the Wicklund Family in that a bundle of sticks cannot be easily broken, just as one family member standing alone is weaker than the strength of many members together. “We are so pleased that Earl Wicklund has decided to develop this important parcel in such a creative and forward-thinking way. Stick Village will provide a new home for a number of growing businesses in the center

of Connecticut,” Economic Development Director Chris Edge said. Edge and town councilors David Evans and Brenden Luddy were all present for the ribbon cutting. Mayor Mark Kaczynski got a sneak peek of the new building before the ribbon cutting, which he was unable to attend. ProNatural is also extending its services to Farmington Avenue, with a new fitness center. “As a medical facility we believe that having this option for our patients makes us a well-rounded medical group offering all the possible choices for our patients’ healthcare,” Aresco said.

Opinion A smart move Of the myriad gripes Americans have with government, one of the most common is that the powers-that-be are not good stewards of our tax dollars. We’ve all heard stories of Uncle Sam footing the bill for bridges to nowhere and unnecessary military projects. We know that unsavory characters rip off Medicare and Medicaid, and government assistance programs. Citizens are aware that tax dollars are at times wasted, and they’re not happy about it. Here in Connecticut, residents have the chance to help the state reclaim misused tax dollars through the new website, FightFraud.ct.gov. The newly unveiled website’s homepage declares “Fraudulent, wasteful and abusive conduct directed against State of Connecticut programs victimizes both Connecticut taxpayers and the beneficiaries the programs were intended to benefit. Other types of fraudulent and abusive conduct and unfair business practices prey on Connecticut’s consumers.” The message describes FightFraud.ct.gov, which stemmed from an anti-government waste task force created by Gov. Dannel P. Malloy in 2013, as a “‘onestop’ source to make it easier for the public to report suspi-

cious conduct.” Through this website, residents are able to flag suspected wrongdoing in areas including tax filings, health care, anti-trust violations, unfair competition, workers compensation and more. Also, FightFraud.ct.gov educates the public about what actually is considered waste, fraud and abuse in government programs, and a news section on the website highlights recent instances in which the state has gone after those involved in such acts. At the top of the news feed currently are press releases regarding J&L Medical, of Middlebury, agreeing to pay $600,000 to resolve allegations that it violated the federal and state False Claims Acts, and Southington dentist Dr. Thomas DeRienzo agreeing to pay $55,000 to resolve False Claims Act allegations. FightFraud.ct.gov is a smart move on behalf of the state. While the website certainly will not put an end to all waste and fraud involving Connecticut government spending, it will shine a light on some instances of abuse, and, at the very least, lets citizens know that such shenanigans are not taken lightly. This editorial was originally published in the Meriden Record-Journal.

Larson comments on the State of the Union address U.S. Rep. John Larson on President Obama’s Final State of the Union Address: “Tonight, President Obama spoke to the best in all of us. This may be his final year in office, but our work as a nation is not done—and I share his hope for the future. “The President is right when he says our politics have become deeply divisive and overrun by special interests. But I know firsthand what we can accomplish when we put those differences aside to do what’s right. I had the honor of sharing this evening with James Tillman, who spent 18 years in prison for a crime he did not commit. Since 2008, I have worked with Republican and American hero Rep. Sam Johnson on a bill to prevent those who are wrongfully convicted from being taxed on the compensation they receive. That bill passed because both sides of the aisle recognized that doing what is right is neither Democratic nor Republican; it is American. “In fact, the pursuit of justice and equality for all is the most quintessential American trait there is. It is why I, like the President, believe we can find the common ground to accomplish real change. The President is right when he says Social Security needs to be strengthened, that students deserve access to affordable education, that everyone deserves the dignity of a job, and that hate

speech and discrimination have no place in our country. Having visited the Berlin Mosque on New Year’s Day, I know as the President does that our Muslim neighbors make our communities stronger. I have plans to address all the challenges we face, and I will keep reaching across the aisle to work with colleagues who want to put people before partisanship. “I also commend the President for rekindling our spirit of innovation. We in the First District know the call to create firsthand. From fuel cells and solar energy to the best aircraft engines in the world, we know our district—like the nation—is full of men and women with the vision and knowledge to make incredible things. I look forward to working with my colleagues to ensure Americans have every opportunity to succeed in these developing fields. “As the President said, the state of our union is strong. We have overcome incredible challenges. Even as we face new threats in the form of ISIL and other terrorist groups, I know we will emerge victorious and come out stronger. I am proud to continue working to ensure everyone in the First District and the nation has the bright future they deserve.” — Press Release

Letters to the Editor We deserve better To the editor: This past summer, our Berlin representative Joe Aresimowicz made light of GE’s grave concerns about Connecticut’s two largest tax increases and spending increases in state history, and the very large looming unfunded pension liability. Other companies expressed their concern as well. Joe’s response: “I guess the difference between a weekend on the yacht and a regular trip to the grocery store — they can take a weekend off from the yacht.” As Majority Leader Joe showed his lack of understanding and concern about the loss of a major corporate company, the income taxes

from its employees and the ripple effect of a potential move. Joe and his state senate Democrats snub their nose at taxpayers and sit at the capitol thinking of more ways to increase taxes and spending here in Connecticut while problems go answered such as the huge liability of the unfunded state pensions. Let’s stop the fleeing of businesses, the youth and retirees from our state and town and this fall elect a new Berlin representative that is concerned with the direction our state is going. Our state deserves better, and our town deserves better. Anne Reilly Berlin

Over-taxed To the editor: A couple election cycles ago, Joe Aresimowicz ran on the idea that he wanted to work on streamlining our state government, and find ways to shrink the size and scope, through combining offices and reduction in employees by attrition, among other ideas. Has anyone seen an idea from Joe yet? As a union rep, does he really have the best interest of all Connecticut residents, or just the ones that pay his salary? Has he recused himself from any votes that may seem to be a conflict of interest? Maggie Morelli, as a vetSee Letters / Page A11

Republicans place blame for GE’s exit companies like GE when they raised legitimate concerns about the state budget. These same Democrats then had to backtrack, after they forced legislation upon companies without listening to them or even having a conversation about their perspective. “They deserve an apology from every elected state leader who blamed critics for ‘rooting for failure,’ ‘perpetuating hyperbole,’ and spewing ‘static’ and ‘bologna’ when people rightfully warned about the disastrous impact of repeated tax increases and perpetual state deficits. “They deserve an apology from Hartford Democrats who had blinders on when they celebrated a budget they were ‘proud of,’ a budget they called ‘historic’ and ‘transformative’ when in actuality it did nothing to change the trajectory of the state. “They deserve an apology from those who accused GE of ‘fear-mongering’ and blaming Connecticut policies for their own corporate

Joe’s patriotism, just that Joe is not the man for state representative. I was a 30-year union employee, and lifelong Democrat and now a senior

citizen. Look at the country, state and our town that was under Democratic Union Joe; we have had enough of liberal Democratic taxes

decisions. “Even more than apologies, our state deserves action. I hope that if any good can come from this situation, Democrats can now find the courage to change. GE made their decision because they, like so many other employers and state residents, are sick and tired of the unpredictability of Connecticut’s financial health, and how that volatility translates to knee jerk tax hikes and damaging service cuts. Years of one party rule and Democrat policies have created an environment that lacks stability and predictability. That uncertainty leaves people wondering: where will leaders go next to find the money to fix future budget holes? Who wants to invest in a state if they can’t be certain they won’t be the next group squeezed in tough times?” Fasano said. Hwang added: “Democrat leaders created a fire by ignoring the negative impact of their policies over the last five years. They stoked

the flames this year when they passed the second largest tax increase in state history. While some business tax changes were eventually made to the budget, it was like throwing a cup of water on a house fire. The only way to move forward is to make serious changes to the way our state budgets. If we want to send a positive message to job creators, then we need longterm structural changes. This year’s budget was not transformative, and the legislation passed in special session did nothing to make long-term structural changes to the way our state spends its money. GE shows us more clearly now than ever that change is needed. Democrats can no longer be afraid to change.” – Press Release

strong,” said Hwang (R-Fairfield). “I know we will all work hard with one another to build back what we are losing. I know we will come together to support the employees losing their jobs, the local companies that will lose business, and the many nonprofits and community organizations that benefited from having GE’s headquarters as a major philanthropic force in our town. GE is an incredible economic driver, and the jobs that do remain here will continue to benefit our community and support many families. I plan to work closely with all lawmakers as well as state and local leaders to ensure Connecticut is taking the steps we need to grow jobs, support the community, and create an environment where businesses want to move in, not out.” “The people of Connecticut deserve an apology,” said Fasano. “They deserve an apology from every Democrat lawmaker whose disrespectful comments mocked

Senate Minority Leader Len Fasano and state Sen. Tony Hwang released the following statements on General Electric’s decision to move its headquarters to Boston. This move comes after GE raised concerns about the direction Connecticut leaders were taking the state during the 2015 legislative session which included the passage of the second largest tax hike in state history. This prompted General Electric Chairman & CEO Jeff Immelt to consider moving because GE wanted to be “where people support job creation, where it’s attractive to talent, good cost of living and that is very supportive in terms of what a high-tech exporter has to be all about. It is a global battle that we are in and we need people that are on our side,” said Immelt in September. “This news is devastating for thousands of employees, their families, and the entire Fairfield community,” said Fasano (R-North Haven). “I know our community is

risk or anything for people with celiac,” she said. The East Hampton native has been gluten-free for years after realizing that her food choices were affecting her overall health. She quickly found that finding good-tasting food, that also met her special dietary needs, was difficult. “There isn’t a lot of gourmet-to-go for special diet folks,” she said. Soon, The Kitchen Table was born. Customers can order and pay for food online from The Kitchen Table’s website and either pick up their meals, or have them delivered. Also, there is food available in the refrigerated case for easy grab-and-go meals, and customers can sit at the picnic-style bench in the main room with a healthy lunch. Everything is made fresh. “Today I made green bean casserole, I made my own

fried onions, my own cream of mushroom soup ... so I know what everything is,” Buonocore said. With the personal chef service, customers can have meals prepared and delivered weekly or bi-weekly. “It’s very customized to any of their specific health needs or allergies or just food preferences,” Buonocore said. The menu changes once a month. Some popular options include; salmon lemon thyme, lasagna rolls, and buttermilk chicken, among many other flavorful dishes. Vegan options are also available. Moving forward, Buonocore will be offering cooking classes once a week and hopes to eventually have chef-invite gourmet dinners at The Kitchen Table. “We’re still growing,” she said.

Friday, Jan. 8 marked the kick-off of the latest off-Broadway musical featured at the Connecticut Cabaret Theatre and Performing Arts Center called “The Last Five Years.” In 2014, “The Last Five Years, ” written by Jason Robert Brown, was produced as a movie starring actors Anna Kendrick and Jeremy Jordan and is very “popular with the younger generation,” said James Moran, the assistant with the production of the musical. “There’s this kind of resurgence coming back with this show,” Moran said. “It has this little bit of a cult following, we call it. We expect a good amount of people to come out.” The musical is based around two main characters, Kathy and Jamie, and their love story. Kathy is played by Kaite Corda and Jamie is played by Nick D’Angelo. “It’s a study of human relationship for five years,” said Kris McMurray, the owner, director and producer for Connecticut Cabaret The-

atre. “One (person) starts at beginning of the relationship and one at end.” The audience is left questioning every story throughout the show about their relationship and keeps them captivated. “You never get to see them interact with each other,” said Moran. “You’re really getting one side of the story at a certain time.” For nearly 20 years, the Connecticut Cabaret Theater has been operating out of Berlin putting on four musicals a year and eight comedies a year for a total of 12 shows. What makes the theater unique is the laid back, interactive, and casual atmosphere of the venue. It is also one of two other cabaret theaters in the state. “It’s not a black box where you’re seated in row seating like a movie theater, you are seated at reserved cabaret tables… and allowed to bring in anything you’d like to drink, food or alcohol,” said McMurray. “(There’s) a little more atmosphere and more room for socializing when you first come in before the perforSee Musical / Page A15

Sports Berlin swimmers in good standing By Nate Brown

The Berlin Citizen

The record may not be ideal, but the progress is. The Berlin High School boys swim team lost a tough contest to Avon, 96-84, on Friday, Jan. 15 at Platt High School, as Avon’s depth time and time again allowed it to grab vital third- and fourthplace finishes that keyed their victory.

Yet Berlin, which earned its first win of the season earlier in the week – a strong 96-66 showing against Manchester-Cheney Tech – is right where it wants to be. “We’re in a fantastic place,” BHS coach Dan Thurston said. “We’re focusing on these meets and racing through these meets, but keeping that end of the season in mind. And we’re all very excited for where we’re going to go.”

Despite the early season “struggles” the team has faced, Thurston has been thrilled with the team’s progress in only the first two full competing weeks of the season. Although the team boasts only a 1-3 record (the boys suffered identical 9484 losses to Farmington and Wethersfield in their first week), the improvement in times has been quite noticeable to the coach.

“Right now, we’re well ahead of where we were last season. Individual guys were well ahead of where they were last season,” Thurston said. One of those guys is Steve Miano. After missing out on states by a few seconds last year, the junior has raced well early on and has presented a welcomed conundrum for both himself and the team. “This year we’re talking

about, ‘Okay, Steve, now we’ve got to figure out which events (are best for you) because you would’ve qualified by now in just about everything,’” Thurston said. “He swam in the 200 meter individual medley and 100 freestyle, but it was one of those things where he swam a 200 free last week and 100 butterfly last week, and I wasn’t exSee Swimming / Page A21

Despite mounting losses, Lady ’Coats improving Close contests have been the name of the game By Nate Brown The Berlin Citizen

It was the theme of the team’s season thus far, played out in 32 minutes at the A-Gym at Berlin High School on Thursday, Jan. 14. Close, but no cigar. The Lady Redcoats basketball team fell to a strong Rocky Hill squad, 54-48, losing their eighth game of the season in the process. A road loss to Glastonbury two days later would bring the team’s record to 3-9 on the year. The local girls earned a 52-35 win over Maloney earlier in the week. “We climbed some mountains (against Rocky Hill.) We were down 20 at one point, brought it back to eight. Those are some good things that we’ll build on,” BHS coach Sheila McCabe-King said. “To their credit, the girls fought back. And we needed a 3. One or two 3s outside would have been nice, but they didn’t happen.” Despite only holding a brief 2-0 advantage at the start of the game, the Berlin girls fought hard all contest to get that lead back. A 15-11 fourth quarter in fa-

vor of Berlin, though, proved to be too little, too late. The game seemed to be over much earlier in the contest, with Rocky Hill (9-3) going on runs of 8-0 in the first quarter, 8-0 in the second quarter and 10-0 in the third quarter. Each time, the Redcoats battled back thanks to grit and a few strong performances. Alyssa Grant led the team with 22 points (8-for-10 on free throws) and converted three three-point plays throughout the night. The junior forward also helped pull down nearly every defensive rebound and advanced the ball time and time again when the Terriers implemented a full court press. “She’s working so hard out there. We’re asking her to be our leading rebounder, we’re asking her to bring the ball up the floor and we’re asking her to score. And she’s working so hard. It’s exhausting for her, and frustrating. A lot of bodies flying at her, marking her … and for her to give us those points each night is great,” McCabe-King said. “She’s a hard worker. She’s never going to quit. That’s the type of player she is. She’s a warrior.” Berlin’s warrior was joined by an intrepid underclassman

These Minutemen wrestlers had plenty to smile about after a strong day of competition in Ledyard and Colchester.

Strong showings for Minutemen

Ten Minutemen wrestlers traveled to Ledyard High School on Sunday, Jan. 10 to test their skills. In the Mighty Mite Division, Tyler Ebrahimi won two matches by pin and took home first place. In the Bantam Division, Ayden Rodriguez won three matches by pin and a 10-2 decision to take first. The Intermediate Division saw the most Minutemen action on the day. Mason and Cayden Hill both finished in second place with identical 3-1 records while Mason Aborio and Nicky Ebrahimi both took home third. Davian See Basketball / Page A21 Rodriguez, Aiden DeJesus

and Julian Shaw all wrestled tough on the day but finished without a medal. Novice Landon Vieira, the Minutemen’s lone afternoon wrestler, took home third place. “We showed some great progress on the mat today and are really starting to execute the techniques we are teaching in practice,” Berlin coach Dan Harding said. “If they keep coming to practice on regular schedule they will be ready for the state tournament at the beginning of March.” Another group of Minutemen also competed on Jan. 10 at Jack Jackter Intermediate

School in Colchester. Nine Minutemen traveled through the rain to wrestle in the beginner tournament, with outstanding results. In their first tournament ever, Conlan Simard (of the Intermediate Division) and JoJo Gonzalez (Novice) both took home first place with three wins. Jaylen Gonzalez (Mighty Mite Division), Gunnar Rumpf (Bantam) and Hiram Sepulveda (Intermediate) all placed second. Richard Bennett took home third place in the Novice Division while Nivmaly Rios (Bantam) and Marshall Alleyne (Middle School) both medaled fourth.

season aspirations (the team would need to win five of its final eight games to reach states), the close contests have shown that there’s plenty of fight in this year’s squad. Two of Berlin’s losses have been by one possession, while both losses to the Terriers have been by seven points or less. The girls lost to a strong Middletown team by only 10. “It’s tough. We aren’t winning, but we are playing better. So we’re focusing on that psychology with the kids,” McCabe-King said. “There are lulls in our game: a loose ball, one more box out. It’s hard because it’s just one more rebound, one more 3, and we’re in a pretty good place.”

For the last week, I’ve been checking the weather hoping for rain or snow.” Meriden’s Nora Thompson was the youngest participant to earn a certificate. It was the first-ever race for the five month old, who traversed the mountain in a jogging stroller with her father, Ian, doing most of the work. The Thompsons had practiced the course twice in preparation for Sunday’s Tradition Run. “It was tough (Sunday),” dad admitted. “Usually she sleeps the whole way up but this time she woke up half way up the mountain and started crying. I had to carry her the rest of the way.” Ian Thompson was not looking to set a course record, if there was such a thing. “It takes me about 11 minutes longer to get to the castle with her than without her,” he said.
