Kensington fish hatchery on the chopping block
A ROARING GOOD TIME
By Charles Kreutzkamp The Berlin Citizen
Gov. Dannel Malloy’s proposed budget includes cuts that would close the Kensington State Fish Hatchery, a move that would save the state more than $195,000 per year, but may also result in the state no longer being able to stock lakes and rivers with Atlantic salmon, a specialty species raised only at the Kensington hatchery. “We want to stock as many fish in our waters as we can for anglers, but we know this is tough budgetary times,” said Department of Energy
and Environmental Protection Communications Director Dennis Shane. Staff at the hatchery deferred comment to DEEP. Shane said Kensington’s hatchery is the smallest of three state fish hatcheries, and the facilities are dated in comparison. Kensington produces only 7 percent of the state’s brown trout, and with it closed, the state would still be able to stock “700,000 brown trout for anglers, which is a really good number,” Shane said. However, Shane said the See Hatchery / Page 2

Students at Catherine McGee Middle School nearly doubled donations compared to last year at their annual March Madness penny drive and read-a-thon. This year students raked in more than $17,000, compared to last year’s $9,906, in addition to preparing care packages for soldiers. Over the past 18 years, the program has raised some $110,000 for charity. The event also features students versus staff basketball games. Students have a say in where the money goes, writ-
ing persuasive essays to convince the March Madness Committee. This year’s three grand prize winners, Gina Scalaro, Tanner Soybel and Luke Wininger, earned $500 each for the Joseph Manzi Foundation, Camp Hope and the Salvation Army, respectively. “Joey Manzi was my cousin. Unfortunately, I never got to meet Joey because he died a month after I was born,” Gina wrote. The middle-schooler shares the late Manzi’s love of music, and feels that through pictures, stories and Joseph See Madness / Page 6

state may no longer be able to stock some of the specialty species raised in Kensington, including the Atlantic salmon and the Seeforellen brown trout, a species of trout that reaches impressively large sizes. The state stocks more than 100 lakes and ponds and some 200 rivers and streams, Shane said, and would still be able to stock those areas if the Kensington hatchery closed. Malloy’s press office did not respond to requests for comment March 25 and 27. As the Hartford Courant reported, this is the third time in recent years Malloy has considered cutting the Kensington hatchery. DEEP chief Bill Hyatt told the Courant in December that the state receives revenue of more than $13 million per
year from fishing and hunting licenses and federal funds from excise taxes on equipment. Running the state’s three hatcheries costs Connecticut $3.2 million annually. Hyatt said one reason the Kensington hatchery may be targeted for cuts is that the Atlantic salmon being raised there have been part of a 40year, $25 million campaign to restore the species that has not been successful. Few stocked salmon returned to the state to spawn, and the campaign was officially ended in 2012. Members of the Town Council did not return a request for comment.

Town closes deal for open space By Charles Kreutzkamp The Berlin Citizen

chette said in a statement. “It’s great news,” said Eric Hammerling, executive director of the Connecticut Forest and Park Association, who was especially pleased to hear that the purchase will allow existing hiking trails to be connected. “I think very highly of the Berlin Land Trust and love the fact that they are not only conserving land but also are thinking of public recreation.” The purchase will cement a total open space area of more than 488 acres. Rochette said the council may consider adding a small parking lot on the Chamberlain Highway to provide recreational access. The Chotkowski family retained ownership of two houses on 27 acres at 1255 and 1301 Chamberlain Highway. “The closing culminates many years of effort to secure

Berlin has officially closed on a deal to purchase 71.1 acres of property on the Chamberlain Highway that will join existing open space from the Hatchery Brook Conservation area to Bicentennial Park. The Town Council approved the purchase last April using $500,000 from a state grant and $700,000 from a prior bond authorization for open space. The money was not drawn from the town’s operational budget, according to Town Manager Denise McNair. “I thank the Berlin Land Trust for assisting the town in the negotiations with the Chotkowski family, including entering into the contract to buy the parcel and then assigning that contract to the town,” Mayor Rachel Ro-

Manzi Foundation events, her cousin has had a powerful influence on her. “I feel like it is necessary to give back to an organization who stands for a person who has done this for me,” she wrote. Tanner wrote: “When my grandfather came back to the U.S., he was not treated like a hero, but like an outcast. Back then, veterans were not heroes like they are today. Unlike physical wounds, emotional wounds are not as always easily fixed. Millions of veterans deal with PTSD, as it’s commonly known, every day.” Tanner’s essay won $500 for Camp Hope, which seeks to help veterans with PTSD. As part of his essay, he in-
cluded an interview with his grandfather, who told him that returning from combat “wasn’t made easy” in the late 60s. Luke volunteers with the Salvation Army and has seen firsthand how the organization “gives hunger relief to those in need, provides shelter to the homeless, and gives clothing to kids.” He feels the organization deserves support. “We take it for granted that we always have a nice warm house to come home to every day, so we often don’t think about the people who are left without one,” Luke wrote. Fifteen other youngsters were awarded $150 to $250 for their charities. Haley Cohan supported the Make a Wish Foundation.

Opinion Much to see, hear at spring open house
Relax, it’s a joke Residents of Sitka, Alaska awoke the morning of April 1, 1974 to see a plume of black smoke rising from the dormant volcano of Mount Edgecumbe. Residents were shocked, as the volcano had been dormant for more than 400 years. The Coast Charles Guard sent Kreutzkamp a helicopter to investigate, only to discover a large pile of burning tires and the words “April Fool” spray painted in 50-foot letters in the snow. According to Hoaxes. org, Oliver “Porky” Bickar waited three long years to pull this off; perhaps the most impressive April Fool’s prank of all time. The prank was executed responsibly to prevent the joke from going horribly awry, as Bickar notified the local police and Federal Aviation authorities. One can hardly imagine a similar prank happening

copper. The traveling peddler’s arrival in a colorful wagon hung with baskets of tinware was a welcome sight to people eager to acquire his wares and hear news from other places. There was a sense of romance about the peddler who got to travel far from rural Berlin. Among the unique stories of Berlin history is its geology. Have you ever seen busloads of students studying the road cut ledges where Routes 9 and 372 intersect the Berlin Turnpike? The attraction is known as the East Berlin Bedrock Formation. The cross section of colorful basalt and sedimentary rock layers was formed by cycles of lava flowing and of ancient lakes flooding and receding. Once hospitable to dinosaurs and tropical plants, Berlin lies in the heart of a rift valley created 200 million years ago. Were it not for the separation of Pangaea, Earth’s original supercontinent, Berlin would still be joined to Africa. Clay soil is evidence of our common ground. The basalt ledges of the Metacomet Ridge were formed by major lava flows oozing from fissures running from Hadley, Mass. to New Haven. People have been hiking and See Society / Page 13

free speech and open debate. First amendment lawyer Greg Lukianoff argues college censorship is worsening polarization in his book “Unlearning Liberty.” Lukianoff believes that colleges are failing to give students the vital intellectual habit of seeking out intelligent people they disagree with. As president of The Foundation for Individual Rights in Education, he witnessed the failure of free speech on campus in cases where a student was expelled without a trial for criticism of a parking garage, another student was not allowed to hand out copies of the Constitution on Constitution Day due to his college’s extremely restrictive rules around its free speech zone, and even a case
Thursday, April 2, 2015
where a student government passed a sedition act forbidding that it be criticized. Lukianoff is alarmed both at students’ tepid responses to these incidents and the surveys that show an increasing number of college students believe that the first amendment “goes too far.” The benefits of free speech are not as intuitive as the desire to protect people from emotional injury. Few find it easy to defend the Westboro Baptist Church’s efforts to picket military funerals, but beyond the risk inherit in giving any one individual or institution the power to censor, are the powerful benefits of open debate our country was founded upon. The philosopher John Stewart Mill points out that debate benefits us whether we are right or wrong, causing us to correct false beliefs, refine true

exploring this ridge line for hundreds of years. In Berlin and Meriden, it was such an attraction that tourist homes were part of the Berlin and Meriden scene. On any clear weekend, people are still hiking up Lamentation, South, Short and Ragged mountains, all part of the famous trap rock ridge line that runs through our town offering stunning views. These displays and many other essential facts about Berlin history are to be found at the museum on the corner of Peck and Main streets, Saturdays, 1 to 4 p.m. To welcome the new season, the Historical Society’s annual open house takes place Saturday, April 11, 1 to 4 p.m. with a special event from 2 to 3. The best reason to plan your visit to coincide with our reopening is to meet Major Jason W. Warren, well known to many in Berlin. A 1999 West Point graduate, he earned a degree in history from Ohio Univer-
A13
In Brief sity and has taught history at West Point. His interests are early Colonial New England history and ancient history. Having served in Egypt, Afghanistan and Iraq, he currently serves as a strategist to the U.S. Army War College. Growing up in Kensington, he was surrounded by colonial homes and sites. It was the gift of a book on Warren King Philip’s War that hooked him on history and inspired him years later to research and write about New England native tribes and their relationship with our early settlers in the 1600s. His book, Connecticut Unscathed, Victory in the Great Narragansett War, 1675-1676, was published last year. Most of us have heard of King Philip (the English name given to the leader of the Wampanoags), but have very little understanding of
the war associated with his name. As Warren writes, the focus on King Philip is an inaccurate portrayal of what was the culmination of a regional battle among native tribes over territory and scarce resources ignited by mistreatment by the colonies. How Connecticut managed to escape the blunt of this conflict holds lessons applicable today. A limited supply of books will be available for sale at the event. The author has designated that all profits from his book go to a graduate school fund established in honor of an Air Force lieutenant colonel, his close friend, who died of cancer in 2013. The event is free, but please call the museum at (860) 828-5114 to register for the book talk, as seating is limited. We suggest if the parking lot and street are full, that you park behind Webster Bank and walk a short block up to the museum. The writer is secretary of the Berlin Historical Society.

them, having donated over 10,000 cards, saving them over $10,000. His work since the inception of the Berlin Athletic Hall of Fame began with countless hours of work in raising the initial funding from our charter donors to get the organization up and running. Each year, from the start, he has put together the program book with business and inductee family sponsors that has provided the Hall of Fame with the necessary funds to continue providing the community of Berlin with a first class event for the past five years. Besides his involvement with fund raising for Berlin athletics, Zipadelli has always been actively involved in other community areas. The baseball field at Sage Park, Sgt. Zipadelli Field, was named in his father’s honor through his work with the Parks and Recreation De-
partment and his presentation to the Town Council. He was instrumental in the naming of the Town Hall Complex in honor of Arthur B. Powers, is the reunion chairman of his graduation class of 1956, an involved member of the Berlin Italian Club, being instrumental in putting together the 168-page commemorative program book in honor of their 100th anniversary, and has also been involved in many other fund raising events for non-athletic endeavors. He continues to be a strong advocate of veteran high school athletics in Berlin in their recognition in the Hall of Fame. Zipadelli is a lifelong Berlin resident is married to Lori and has two children, Jon and Candace. The Induction Ceremony is scheduled for Sunday, April 26, at the Aqua Turf. For more information and to RSVP, contact Marie Siegal at mvs7581@ yahoo.com.

Pulito finished Guire, Amy Massaro, Sara the season 32 goals, and All- Morin, Lindsay Orlich, Kim State, All-New England and Rival and Stacy Ryan; sophAll-American honors. Berlin’s defense remained strong throughout the season by allowing opponents only 10 goals in 20 games. Seniors Hinchliffe and Guttmann, in her final season as goalkeeper, established three school records: most shutouts, best goals against average and least goals against. Hinchliffe’s season ended just before the state tournament with torn ACL, but she remained an active member. The road to the championship was not an easy one. In the semifinal game against Darien, Dorio scored with 36 seconds left to break a 0-0 tie. Dorio also scored the game-winning goals in the quarterfinal game and in the state finals. Pulito also added two goals in the final game. The team was coached by Bryan Plona and assisted by Naomi Stone.

On March 13 and 14, FRC Team 155, Techno-nuts, a FIRST Robotics team from Berlin, competed at the UMass Dartmouth District Event. The five-foot tall robot made it to the semifinals of the event and won the Team Spirit Award. At the UMass event, Team 155 was seeded sixth out of the 27 teams, making them an alliance captain for the final rounds. When it came time to make the first pick, the team chose Team 1124, The Uber Bots from Avon. Their alliance was able to stack totes and lift barrels to progress through the quarterfinals and semifinals. In addition to this, the Techno-nuts won the Team Spirit Award because of
their participation in Berlin’s annual scarecrow contest and Memorial Day parade. The Techno-nuts also competed at the Waterbury District event earlier this season, Feb. 28 to March 1, where they won the Safety Award. They hope to qualify for the New England District Championships, April 9 to April 11 at Worcester Polytechnic Institute in Worcester, Mass.
