FROZENFEST DRAWS CROWD AT LIBRARY Frozenfest was held at the Berlin-Peck Memorial Library April 14. “We’ve had large crowds at other events but for a Tuesday afternoon this is quite a large crowd,” Children’s Librarian Emily Gontarz said. “Staff loves Frozen too, so it was a winwin,” Head of Children and Teen services Jennifer Needham added. The librarians thanked volunteers from UpBeat and the Friends of the Library, as well as StarPlex Cinemas, which donated popcorn. — Charles Kreutzkamp

Vote on budget referendum April 28 By Charles Kreutzkamp The Berlin Citizen

The Town Council is eager to hear from voters at the referendum scheduled for Tuesday, April 28, when voters will be able to advise the council, for the first time in the town’s history, on whether they believe the budget is too low or too high. The council added to the ballot this year a second non-binding advisory question modeled on similar non-binding questions other towns have included on their budget referendum votes. The council has yet to see whether the new question will increase voter turnout. All seven council members were unanimous that the $80,831,550 budget is ready to go to referendum, including a last-minute addition of $408,000 for the Board of Education on top of a 1 percent increase. The proposed mill rate is 30.46, an increase of 1.54. A mill represents one dollar of tax for every 1,000 of assessed value. “We do not want to risk having teacher programs and athletic programs cut,” said Mayor Rachel Rochette, though the Democrat said the council feels “very strongly that the budget we set forward allows those not to be cut.” See Referendum / Page 2

and will feature brick to preserve the historic character of the building that has weathered more than 100 years of service. The building is not planned to be demolished. However, adjacent empty buildings owned by the town on Farmington Avenue were demolished earlier this year. According to a DOT report, 29 historic bridges and culverts are to be renovated or replaced. Ten of these will be wholly replaced, and others will be modified and extended. The DOT report said the changes should be regarded as “adverse effects” and that photographic and written documentation of the structures should “be considered an appropriate mitigation.” According to the most recent New Haven Hartford Springfield Rail newsletter, station construction in Wallingford, Meriden and Berlin is scheduled to begin in the fall and to be complete when the rail enters service in late 2016. The new Berlin station will feature high level platforms on both sides of the track, an overhead pedestrian bridge with stairs and elevators, ticket vending machines. The platforms will be equipped with snow melting systems and the parking lot will feature stations to charge electric vehicles. “The renovation and expansion of Berlin’s train station will greatly help to

Councilor David Evans (R) said that the 1 percent proposed increase to the board of education budget allowed the council to “see where the rocks are,” as in a stream. Many members of the public spoke in favor of increasing money for education at a public hearing April 8. The council initially proposed a 1.4 mill increase budget that local teachers and parents opposed. Many referenced a letter they received from the Board of Education describ-

ing what the cuts may mean: laying off teachers or cutting athletic programs at McGee Middle School or athletics for freshmen at Berlin High School. The council had reduced the increase requested by the BOE by $686,000, before adding back in $408,000 in response to the reaction from the public. Berlin spent $423 less per pupil for the 2014/2015 school year than the state average. Read more about the budget hearing at http://tinyurl.com/ BC2015Budget.

The intent of this enforcement effort is to increase compliance with Connecticut’s distracted driving laws and reduce the number of traffic crashes which result in injuries or fatalities.

École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, captured an image showing both fundamental properties of light simultaneously. According to a press release, this is the first such image known. “It was really exciting to do an experiment that captures both the wave and particle aspects of light in a single image,” Barwick said in a statement. A press release explained that the experiment involved “hitting a nanowire with short pulses of a laser light. When the light hits the nanowire it is confined by its very small size and creates a standing wave of a particular form of light called a ‘surface plasmon polariton.’” By shooting a stream of electrons near the wire, the physicists created an interaction with the light on the nanowire. The team then captured their image using a high

A local man is making waves at Hartford’s Trinity College with his recent publications in academic journals. Brett Barwick, an assistant professor of physics, had his work with other professors featured in “Nature Communications and Optics Express”. Barwick and his wife, both physicists, moved to Berlin five years ago when they took jobs at Trinity College and Wesleyan University in Middletown. A native of Grand Marais, Minnesota, Barwick grew up on Lake Superior

within a half hour drive of Canada. “Getting to play with very powerful lasers in the laboratory is one of the things I really like about the physics research I do,” Barwick said. “I am very interested in studying fundamental physics phenomena that involves testing quantum mechanics and I find studying how the smallest pieces of matter interact on the atomic scale very satisfying.” According to Trinity College Communications Associate James Sargent, Barwick and Trinity professor Erik Quiñonez, along with researchers from Switzerland’s

fisherman recently caught a 27-inch Atlantic salmon – a species raised only in Kensington the state DEEP said may have to be discontinued if the hatchery closes. Machnicz has been fishing since he was a child. The first time his uncle took him out, he tied the line around the worms rather than hooking them, “so I wouldn’t be upset.” “License fees should not go into the general fund,” added another angler at Silver Lake, Lorin Valenti, of Waterbury. Machnicz said that fishing is a great hobby for youngsters. His son was at Silver Lake that same day for a Connecticut Bass Association Junior’s Tournament. Melissa Begin of Bristol had high praise for the event and the volunteers who supported it by taking kids out onto the lake in their boats. “They’re great at getting kids involved,” Begin said, pointing out that fishing is becoming “more of a sport,” with a stronger presence among children. Some organizations even offer college scholarships to young anglers.

Obituaries June McLaughlin Bukowski ing her best friend, Sue Benson, of Kensington. We would also like to give a special “thank you” to Theresa Szymanski for all of her help. She was an inspiration and friend to so many people they are impossible to mention. She was known as Auntie June and Grandma June, to so very many. June was born in Preque Isle, Maine on March 23, 1942, but resided in Kensington for the last 48 years. She was an amazing wife, mother, aunt , sister and friend. She was a wonderful hostess, cook and a truly beautiful person with a huge heart. She loved to travel with her family and had taken over 50 cruises. She was always ready for the next adventure, and life without her will never be the same. June loved children and always said “your life is complete if you leave this world knowing you made a difference in the life of a child”. June not only accomplished this with her own children but with many others as well. She loved people and was always willing to lend an ear, give a hand, or participate in

He was formerly employed at Vandrilla Floor Covering and at the State of CT before retiring.

Opinion Letters to the Editor Vote “no”

Keep taxes in check

To the editor: Attorney Gary Brochu’s aggressive response to the 2015-2016 Berlin Board of Education budget proposal reminds me of the spiteful child that hurls a tantrum to get their way. It’s as if Brochu is stomping his feet over the Town Council’s decision to reduce $690,000 from the $1,094,523 increase he demanded. With America’s inflation rate at zero, it’s unconscionable for any spending increase, period. The cash is needed to cover for the mismanaged, millions-over-budget BHS construction project and the recent 3.5 percent overall wage increases to the Berlin BOE’s 21 administrators whose salaries range from $103,516 to $198,000, plus an average of $14,265 in benefits. Brochu expects you to shell out for his blunders. Vote “no” on the budget. Scott Veley Former Deputy Mayor - Berlin

To the editor: I’ve read many articles on the upcoming budget. None of those articles mentioned the proposed percent increase in the tax rate. As of this date, April 17, 2015, the proposed increase in the mill rate is from 28.92 to 30.28 (1.36). That’s a 4.7 percent increase. That means that property owner’s taxes will go up by 4.7 percent. The previous two years the tax increase was less than 1 percent per year. Everyone please get out and vote on April 28. J.D. Bryzgel Kensington

Vote “yes” To the editor: I think that the Town Council has proposed a reasonable, well-balanced budget. The council needs to look at the needs of all the people in town and to weigh what is required by each demographic group.

Education should certainly be a priority. I don’t want to live in a town where the future will be in the hands of the poorly educated. But the town also needs to balance out the needs of older people who have raised children here and want to continue to live here, but who are now retired and have reduced incomes. At the budget hearing, we heard about moving to Berlin for the school system, but wanting to maintain resale value on the home so that the family can move south – where there is better weather and lower taxes – when the kids are out of school. The Town Counsel does need to support the educational needs of those children ... but it also needs to support the older adults who do not bail to live in places with lower taxes and shoddy educational systems once their kids are finished with the system. It needs to help allow them to stay in their homes in their town.

Bear in mind, too, that part of the reason the budget is tight is re-payment of the debt service for the high school renovations. Although this is not BOE, it still is part of the town’s commitment to improve education in Berlin and to make it the best it can be. I am also worried that if there is too steep a tax increase that it will feed a Republican backlash. And if the parents think things are bad now, they have no idea what it was like 10 or 12 years ago, with a Republican Town Council that didn’t just pare the BOE budget, but gutted it.

I’ve always been someone who looks to balancing the needs of all our citizens, and I think this budget does the best it can. Barbara Coughlin Berlin

State considers medical marijuana for children By Charles Kreutzkamp

become a model for the rest of the country.” Giuliano supports the bill’s provisions that would allow cannabis to be prescribed and distributed for end-oflife care to patients in hospice and for research purposes. “It is through research and studies that we can confirm the medicinal value of this controversial product.”

The Berlin Citizen

Giving marijuana to children may sound initially absurd, but when the child suffers from debilitating seizures, the proposition carries enough weight that Connecticut state legislators are considering it. Expanding the definition of patients allowed to be prescribed cannabis under the state’s existing medical marijuana laws is just one of several provisions of S.B. 1064, which would also allow the drug to be prescribed as part of palliative care and would indemnify nurses, allowing them to distribute the drug to hospitalized patients. Naturally, public hearing testimony on the proposal was mixed. Margherita Gi-

Calvina Fay, of Save our Society From Drugs, opposed the measure, saying “marijuana hasn’t been accepted as medicine because it hasn’t met key criteria,” including efficacy proved by “rigorous research” and known effective doses. Fay said that the chemical composition is variSee Marijuana / Page 16

violations at BHS. The high school did not meet the minimum requirements to stay open. Change was mandatory or they would close BHS’s doors. Maintenance/ upgrades were continually deferred. We didn’t pay back then, so now it’s time to pay the piper. Cost equals $60 million. The new police station is the second item. In the fall it was a $21 million project, although they are trying to shave costs. We need a new police station. The problem is sticker shock from the BHS project. Ask again in fall of 2016, when BHS is complete and perceptions have changed. Regardless of geographic location, I hope the town can provide everything you need. How do we pay the combined $81 million? The Town Council thinks Berlin school children should pay up, slashing $1 million from the BOE. In a recent article, our mayor announced the Town Council will reconsider the $1 million BOE budget cut. However, specific numbers are missing. The mayor said the BOE’s “easy answer (to the budget cut) was to target teachers and kids.” Ms. Mayor, when the Town
