MERIDEN — It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved mother, Elizabeth M. Stetson on Sunday, Feb. 4, 2018 at Apple Rehab in Rocky Hill. She was born on May 29, 1924 in Meriden and was the daughter of the late Xavier and Charlotte LaComb. She was predeceased by her husband, Herbert Edward Stetson. Elizabeth will be remembered for her kindness and enthusiasm for life. She found immense solace in her faith and especially loved bingo, shopping and going out to lunch, all of which she enjoyed until the end of her life. She loved to crochet and share the gifts of her blankets with everyone around her, including her loved ones, children in shelters and hospitals, and families christening their babies. She will be greatly missed by her family and friends.

Berlin-Peck promoting acts of kindness By Ashley Kus The Citizen
Berlin-Peck Memorial Library is encouraging patrons to celebrate kindness this month with a variety of activities and events. “We thought this would be a great way for the community to celebrate kindness,” said Carrie Tyszka, Berlin librarian, “for people to notice the positive things going on around them and to spread those messages or actions further.” The program starts Saturday, Feb. 10 and runs through Saturday, Feb. 17.
A decorated rock as part of the Kindness Rocks project.
This is the second year the library is participating in “Random Acts of Kindness” week, a national initiative by the Random Acts of Kindness non-profit foundation. This year the library is adding “Kindness Rocks,” a national project, to the week. On Saturday, Feb. 17, the last day of kindness week, the library will offer people the opportunity to paint a rock and place it anywhere within the community.

Before the Berlin library decorates the rocks, patrons will have the opportunity during kindness week to get rid of $4 worth of library fines in exchange for the donation of a non-perishable food item.

The week will also include a card-making program Saturday, Feb. 10, for people of all ages to create a homemade card for a loved one.

State’s rates highest in continental U.S.
When the leisurely walk down in the park becomes a sprint after your grandkids, enjoy all of their giggles, confident that you are hearing your best.
By Matthew Zabierek Record-Journal staff
For years, Connecticut residents have paid some of the highest electric rates in the country, causing many homeowners and businesses to wonder why their bills are so steep. Connecticut residents pay the highest electricity rates among all 48 continental states, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration. Customers in Connecticut on average pay 17.24 cents per kilowatt hour of electricity, almost seven cents higher than the national average of 10.41 cents. On a standard monthly residential bill of
750 kilowatt hours of energy, Connecticut residents pay $51 dollars more than the national average. Electricity rates across the Northeast are higher than other areas of the country. All six New England states and New York rank in the top-ten. In light of recent electrical bill spikes seen by some Eversource Energy customers, the Record-Journal examined some of the factors that experts say result in the high cost of electricity in Connecticut and the Northeast. 1. Reliance on natural gas New England depends more heavily on natural gas to generate electricity, while other regions rely more on less-costly coal.

Because the demand for electricity in Connecticut has grown faster than the state's electric infrastructure in recent years, the transmission system became increasingly congested, according to a 2010 report by OLR. This congestion decreases the physical efficiency of the transmission lines, which increases the cost of power. 3. Deregulation Connecticut's deregulation of the electric industry in the late 1990s required the electric companies, such as Eversource Energy, to sell their power plants and buy power on the wholesale market.
Youth Lacrosse Pancake breakfast Berlin Youth Lacrosse has scheduled its annual pancake breakfast fundraiser for Sunday, March 4, 8 to 11 a.m., at the VFW, 152 Massirio Drive. A fee is charged. Tickets are available at the door.

Deregulation also failed to yield lower electricity costs in 17 states that have pushed it since the late 1990s. “An Associated Press analysis of federal data (in 2007) showed that consumers in the 17 deregulated areas paid an average of 30% more for power in 2006 than their counterparts in regulated states. That’s up from a 24 percent gap in 1990,” a 2007 story from the Associated Press stated. 4.

Lady Redcoats peaking at the right time “Our defensive game is spot on right now … it’s something we’re the most proud of and that’s what is going to carry us,” Berlin coach Sheila King said. Defense came into play early against Plainville (9-8). The Redcoats started the game with a 9-0 run and
held the Blue Devils to just six points in the first quarte r. Plainville was able to catch up in the second quarter, however, closing the gap to three points. But Berlin regrouped after the break and held the Blue Devils to just four total
points in the second half. Lyzi Litwinko and Ashley Wenzel combined for 25 points for the Redcoats, while Wynter Yovan netted eight. Yovan also grabbed 16 rebounds, earning praise from her coach. “She did an incredible job on the boards and she really is the star of the night,” said King. Isabel Lozefski led the way for the Blue Devils with eight points, while Kori Jones scored five.

The Berlin High School girls basketball team extended its win streak to five on Friday with a 38-20 victory over visiting Plainville. The streak began on Jan. 25 when the Redcoats put away New Britain by 23 points.
Berlin has had quite a turnaround this winter. The Redcoats (10-7) struggled early in the season, managing just four wins in their first 11 games. But since then, the locals have bested teams by an average of 30 points. Their biggest win (36 points) came against Bristol Central.

Berlin boys close in on state tournament By Ajlal N. Khan Special to The Citizen
The Berlin High School boys basketball team fell to Bristol Central 62-54 Monday night, Jan. 29 in a hardfought game. The visiting Rams headed into the matchup riding a nine-game win streak and posed a tough challenge for the Redcoats. Berlin didn’t look like an underdog early on, however. The Redcoats took a sixpoint lead in the first quarter, their defense allowing for a fast-paced offense that ran quickly up the court for easy points. “I feel our defense definitely helps our aggression and is a huge boost to our confidence,” Berlin captain Ryan Hyde said. The Rams managed to slow the Redcoats down in the second period, as Berlin scored only five points in the frame. Berlin coach Mike Veneziano pointed out that Bristol Central’s rebounding efforts made the difference. “It’s toughness. Saying I’m going to box out a guy who’s bigger than me,” Veneziano said. “Against bigger teams, we just haven’t done a good job of that.” But Veneziano applauded his guys’ defense. “We are an aggressive defense,” the coach said. “We have kids like Gianni (Fanelli) who have great instincts. We definitely need to be smarter though.” Despite some offensive struggles, the Redcoats stayed in the game in the third quarter and closed their deficit to just four points. But Bristol Central managed to hold off the energetic Berlin squad in the fourth quarter to chalk up their 10th straight victory. The Rams improved to 11-3 on the year.
The BHS boys basketball team is on the cusp of punching its ticket to the postseason.
“I think it’s better to play tougher competition than win easily,” Berlin’s Holden Murphy said. “I believe our team has enough competitiveness to win games against more challenging opponents.” Fanelli led Berlin with 18 points. Murphy added 10 points and teammate Dylan Frisk netted nine. Berlin went on to lose to visiting Farmington, 59-48, Saturday. It was the Redcoats’ fifth loss in their last six games. Despite the end result, the Redcoats started strong against Farmington. Shots were falling for Berlin in the first quarter, including multiple three-pointers, as the home team took the lead. Also, the Redcoats were able to run in transition thanks to their aggressive rebounding.
However, Berlin was not able Grayson Herr and Jacob Smith also contributed for to keep this up, and it cost the victors, scoring 13 and them. 10 points, respectively. “We didn’t do a good job rebounding the basketball,” Fanelli tried to will the RedVeneziano said. “We got out coats back into the game, but his 19 points were not to a nice lead early in the enough. game and then it’s like we forgot our responsibilities.” Mike McCarthy added nine The second quarter saw less points for Berlin, and T.J. offense from both teams, but Beardsley chipped in Farmington was able to with eight. jump out in front before the Said Beardsley, “It’s imporend of the half. tant that we come together After the break, Berlin strug- as a team and play as one … gled to get any offense going Coach is always telling us to and the Indians capitalized. push it in transition and we should definitely listen to The Farmington offense was coach more.” fueled by Jake Sytulek, who Heading into this week, the scored 29.

The house, built in 1771, may have been a “Sabbathday house,” a place families stayed while attending allday church services instead of traveling back to their homes. The purchase adds to the historical society’s efforts to save the meeting house. Built in 1774, the townowned meeting house has been a landmark on Worthington Ridge. The colonial house served as a meeting place for religious services, community events, and was the first town library. The house became the town hall from 1850 until 1907, when it was converted into Worthington School. When the school closed in 1957, the meeting house was used

for office space for the Board of Education. The building closed to the public in the 1970s. Since then, the meeting house has undergone two stabilization projects funded by grants.
The historical society is working with an architect, QA&M Architecture in Farmington, on design plans for the interior of the house. State grants funded the cost of the architect. The Town Council discussed moving forward with the project last year.
