BHS senior ‘shatters’ beauty myths By Charles Kreutzkamp The Berlin Citizen
“Girls compare themselves to perfect images in the media, and this can lead to eating disorders, depression, and low body image,” said Berlin High School senior Kayleigh Barber, explaining her senior capstone project, a new requirement for graduation this year, replacing the senior portfolio with a student-directed project. Barber created a website, shatteredbeauty.weebly.com, to demonstrate the effects of Photoshopping and airbrushing through a combination of original

4,” Barber said, “but what I could do was to make the face look flawless and poreless.” Barber said she is concerned about the impact these too-perfect images have on girls’ self-esteem, especially those in middle school who may not be as able to see Photoshopped images with a critical eye. Even worse, according to Barber, are tabloids that take unedited images of celebrities and mock the stars for looking ugly. “Girls might look at these images and say, ‘she looks like me, so I must be ugly, too,’” BarSee Myths / Page 7

photography and images in the media. Barber said she wants people to realize that “the image of perfection shown to us by the media is unattainable.” In this pursuit, Barber downloaded photo editing software and airbrushed images of herself during the software’s one-week evaluation period and created photos “comparable with magazine ads and media commercials,” with tiny facial details obscured into a smooth, featureless complexion. “It was tricky to begin with,” Barber said. “Experts can take a size 10 to a size
The sentence of Michael Miller, former priest at St. Paul Church in Kensington, was modified slightly June 9, as stated on the State of Connecticut Judicial Branch website. According to the New Britain Superior Court Clerk’s Office, court documents indicate the sentence was modified in accord with
Miller’s plea bargain, in which he plead guilty to one count of obscenity, one misdemeanor count of ilMiller legal possession of child pornography in the third-degree (according to Law.Justia.com, a felony in which a
person knowingly possesses fewer than 20 visual depictions of child pornography), and three felony counts of risk of injury to a child. The minor changes include a change in sentencing from 30 months to 898 days in the execution of one of Miller’s consecutive prison sentences, and a change from fully suspended sentence for two of See Sentencing / Page 7

I want to do this for those girls,” McKenna wrote in an essay she gave to her parents, explaining why she wanted to shave her head. “It was incredible to witness … Thank you for letting us be a part of this,” Garrett Kenny, the barber shop owner, said. Kenny said that he and his staff were so moved by the essay McKenna wrote that they decided to donate to the St. Baldrick’s foundation. They also named an award after the selfless youngster. The McKenna Evans Community Initiative Award will be an annual cash prize awarded to a young person in the community who distinguishes themselves with community service. “You are

floor is unbelievable,” said Robin Evans, indicating the locks that were unable to be harvested for donation. Those who donate money through St. Baldrick’s not only donate their hair and their time to fundraising efforts, but also shave their heads to raise awareness of cancer. “I was really proud of her when she told me [what she was planning],” said McKenna’s close friend Abby Wendehack. “I knew some people were going to tease her and I just told her to be proud of herself and who she is.” For McKenna, raising money for and awareness of cancer research isn’t the only reason to be a shavee for St. Baldrick’s: She also sought to make a statement about inclusion. “I personally know that I

More than 35 people gathered outside of Garrett’s Barber Shop Friday, June 13 when McGee Middle School student McKenna Evans arranged to have her head shaved to support the St. Baldrick’s Foundation. In addition to donating her hair to cancer patients, McKenna raised $1,695 for cancer research. After having her hair tied into a ponytail and secured with several hair bands, the hair was cut off and placed into a bag. What makes St. Baldrick’s different is what came next. While telling her mother, Robin Evans, “Don’t throw up, Mom!,” McKenna held still while hairdresser Danielle Landry pulled out an electric razor and proceeded to shave McKenna’s head. As her hair is cut off, the barber shop rings with screams and applause from those in attendance, including more than 25 children, mostly young women near McKenna’s age. “I invited some people to come but I didn’t expect this many,” McKenna said. “I’ve cut donated hair before, but I’ve never shaved a girl’s head,” Landry said. “I can’t believe I did this,” McKenna said, looking at her shaved head in the mirror. “I mean, I can’t believe I followed through with this.” “The amount of hair on the

“We’ve had so much support from the community, from donors, and from sponsors,” Krzykowski said. The Berlin PD, Krzykowski explained, had formed a Relay for Life team named Berlin’s Heroes, and were looking for more ways to support the American Cancer Society. Krzykowski, a breast cancer survivor, led the Survivors Lap at the 2014 Relay. Next year, Forsyth said, the Hero Games will be even bigger, and may also feature teams from the U.S. military.

the American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life. “It’s incredibly difficult and it’s been a great challenge,” said Eric Augustyn of the Farmington P.D. Augustyn heard about the Hero Games through a Berlin firefighter and formed a team. Five teams competed in the games, including the Berlin P.D., a team for all four Berlin fire departments, the Farmington P.D., a team of Correctional Emergency Response Team (CERT) officers from the Department of Corrections, and a civilian team from Average Joe’s Fitness. “One of our team members signed us up and we thought it’d be a good opportunity for some teamwork,” CERT officer Mike Pafumi said. The Berlin police and the DOC teams were neck and neck in the lead after the obstacle course and the truck pull, with seven points each. Each team could score up to five points in each of the eight events. During the medicine ball relay, Corrections pulled ahead, maintaining a slight lead over the BPD and winning the championship by two points with a final score of 34. The Berlin fire team scored highest in the truck
pull, grabbing five points, and finished third with 20 points. Average Joe’s pulled a surprise upset and took home five points during the final event, the team run, which raised Joe’s to fourth place with 19 points over the Farmington Police Department with 17 points. “It pushes everyone to their limits,” said Tom Powers, a commissioner of the Kensington Fire Department. “It was a crazy first year. Amazing. And it’s only going to get bigger next year,” Joe Forsyth said. Medical responders from Hunter’s Ambulance stood by during the games in case of any injuries during the taxing events, though they had little to do apart from assisting with a few muscle cramps. The genesis of the Hero Games was incepted by Berlin police officers Aimee Krzykowski and Brandon Lagueux, who approached Forsyth, of Average Joe’s Fitness, with the idea for the games.

the charges to be served as one day each. Miller was sentenced to five years imprisonment with probation for 20 years following his release. He also will be required to register as a sex offender for 10 years. As The Citizen reported August 22, 2013, court documents stated that “Miller had inappropriate Facebook conversations with seven underage teenagers and five pornographic videos of children were found on his home
computers.” The Archdiocese of Hartford stated that Miller will no longer function as a priest. The Archdiocese issued a statement that said, “We hope that Miller‘s plea will give some solace and closure to the minors he violated - and their families.” To read more about the history of the case, visit http://tinyurl.com/BCChanges2014 on TheBerlinCitizen.com

ber said. Barber points out in her presentation a few images she selected that showcase just how far from reality some magazine images can be. A model in a difficult pose, for example, has natural rolls in the flesh of her abdomen, but in the finished photo, the rolls are gone. These images are meant “to instill desire in the viewer that can never actually be quenched,” Barber said on her website. The teenager noted that
the rate of diagnosed eating disorders has increased over the years. The final part of her project focused on eating disorders, and featured links to treatment centers in Connecticut. One solution Barber proposed is to mandate labeling of modified photos. However, she feels this proposal would face opposition from those who simply want to use Photoshopped images to sell products.

State Malloy, Foley make promises to CT unions By Susan Haigh Associated Press
NEW HAVEN (AP) — While Republican Tom Foley attempted to assure Connecticut’s largest labor organization Monday that he doesn’t want to roll back collective bargaining rights, Democratic Gov. Dannel P. Malloy accused Foley, his chief GOP rival, of “going after labor” and pitched himself as the true friend to unions. Foley, the endorsed Republican Party candidate for governor, has been criticized for saying Connecticut needs a “Wisconsin moment.” At the opening day of the Connecticut AFL-CIO political convention in New Haven, Foley attempted to clarify that he didn’t mean limiting collective bargaining rights, as was done in Wisconsin. Rather, Foley said, he meant changing the balance of power in Hartford, where the legislative and executive branches are controlled by Democrats — an explanation that prompted some of the nearly 300 delegates to snicker. “Did I say something funny?” Foley asked the crowd, which had previously heard a rousing speech from a Wisconsin union leader who urged Connecticut union members not to be complacent about protecting union rights. “This is a different state, with different citizens with different laws,” Foley told reporters after his speech.
“There’s no reason to assume that somebody who says, ‘Well, I think there should be more balance in our state government and I wish there were more Republicans in office’ means that what Republicans did in some other state is what Republicans should do in Connecticut.” Foley said there’s no opportunity in Connecticut to do what was done in Wisconsin, adding how it would be a “fool’s errand” to try to roll back collective bargaining rights. But both labor leaders and Malloy seized on the issue Monday, with the governor accusing his old 2010 election foe of trying to backtrack from his previous comments. “Tom Foley, when he said he wanted a ‘Wisconsin moment,’ it wasn’t about encouraging people to eat cheese. Let’s be honest, we all knew what that meant, he knew what that meant,” Malloy said. “What he was talking about is going after labor, which I equate is going after the middle class of the United States.” Lee Saunders, the national president of AFSCME, spoke of the importance of Connecticut’s governor’s race nationally and how the labor movement can’t afford Connecticut becoming another Wisconsin. And while Foley says he’s attracting support from union members across the state, Saunders melodramatically warned organized labor not to back him.

Opinion
Parents reminded to ‘set the rules’ Press Release During this prom and graduation season, The Governor’s Prevention Partnership urges parents to open lines of communication and to talk with their teens about the dangers of underage drinking and substance abuse. Underage drinking as well as binge drinking — defined as five or more drinks in a twohour period for males, and four or more drinks in a twohour period for females — occurs at significant rates in Connecticut. In the most recent survey conducted by the Connecticut School Health Survey, high school students from around the state in regards to alcohol consumption. 41.5 percent of high school students reported having at least one drink of alcohol, while 22.3 percent reported they had taken part in binge drinking. 6.9 percent of those surveyed admitted to driving after drinking alcohol while 25.2 percent said they rode in a car in which the driver had been drinking prior to getting behind the wheel. “We are offering parents and caregivers a plan of action to help engage their teenagers in healthy conversations about underage drinking and drug abuse,” said Jill Spineti, the president and
CEO of the Governor’s Prevention Partnership. “Our teens need to be reminded frequently about the serious consequences associated with underage drinking and drug abuse. “Our children are especially vulnerable during prom and graduation season, when parties are frequent and summer vacation is just around the corner.” Spineti also aired caution to teens and parents, saying that both state and local police are on high alert for underage drinking parties and driving under the influence, particularly during this time of year. It is a priority of the Connecticut State Police to remain active in ensuring public safety on all public roads and highways. Now in its 25th year, The Governor’s Prevention Partnership is a statewide nonprofit public-private alliance, building a strong, healthy future workforce through leadership in mentoring and prevention of youth violence and bullying, underage drinking, and substance abuse. The Governor’s Prevention Partnership has developed a seven-step plan of action to help remind parents about what to do as prom and graduation parties are held throughout the state, and the risk for underage drinking and drug abuse is increased: 1. Parents must not serve
alcohol. Serving alcohol to minors is a serious, criminal offense. Even allowing underage youth access to alcohol (without directly providing it) violates Connecticut’s social hosting law. In addition, parents who provide or allow underage youth access to alcohol open themselves up to significant financial liability. Beyond legal ramifications, it’s important to remember that young people who start using alcohol before age 15 are five times more likely to have alcohol-related problems later in life (U.S. Surgeon General, 2007). 2. Trust, but verify. Know your son or daughter’s itinerary for the evening and check in with other adults or your child. In this day of cell phones, it’s not unreasonable to “check in” with your child to confirm that they are where they say they are. Establish a curfew with your teenager based on past behavior and trustworthiness. Discuss your expectations and involve him or her in these decisions. 3. #DontForgetSocialMedia. Check your teenager’s Facebook, Twitter or Instagram account. If you don’t know what something means – ask. There are lots of slang terms used as code to cover drinking and drug use, so if you’re unsure as to what is being said, check out teen-

chatdecoder.com or decoder. drugfree.org. 4. Throw an alcohol-free party. One strategy to keep teens safe is to host an alcohol-free party. This too requires vigilance, as everyone entering must be checked at the door and nobody should be allowed to leave and then return. Parents should also consider banning backpacks and outside beverages. Water bottles and other containers should not be allowed, as it’s very easy to substitute alcohol for the original contents. 5. No hotel rooms. Do not rent teens a hotel room or let them go off to a remote location (like someone’s vacation home) without proper adult
supervision. Teenagers and unsupervised seclusion can be a recipe for disaster. 6. Talk to your teen (listen carefully, too) Even if you have talked previously with your son or daughter, prom and graduation nights are good times to reinforce your expectations. Don’t just talk—listen and be reasonable. Specifically, talk about the dangers of getting into a car with someone who has been drinking. 7. Be available. Agree that your son or daughter can call you at any time for help or advice and that you will pick him/her up if needed, no See Rules / Page 11

Sports Girls 1600 medley team second in nation By Nate Brown
The Berlin Citizen
Several Lady Redcoat outdoor track and field squads traveled to Greensboro, North Carolina this past weekend for the Outdoor Track and Field Nationals. All three relay squads performed admirably, with Berlin’s 1600 meter sprint medley team finishing second overall, milliseconds behind the relay team from East Brunswick, New Jersey.
The 1600 medley team – comprised of junior Kristen Madeia, sophomores Michelle Grieco and Taylor Budney, and freshman Sarah Daddario – finished with an overall time of 4:10.86, just .05 behind first place East Brunswick. The BHS girls had the fastest first-half split in the nation, finishing the first two legs in a combined 1:52.84. The team was one of 43 to qualify and compete in the race. The girls 4x800 relay
squad also performed well, finishing 14th in the nation out of 55 teams. Comprised of Madeia, junior Sarah Hagan, Grieco, and sophomore Jody DiCicco, finished with a time of 9:36.51, just .5 seconds out of 13th place and 2.27 seconds away from a top 10 finish. Berlin’s 800 medley team also competed, finishing 28th place out of 40 teams. Led by seniors Samantha Carbonell and Tess Repaci, DiCicco, and Budney, the girls finished with a final time of 1:57.56.
The foursome also finished third in its respective heat, just behind Hauppauge, New York and Colonels, Kentucky. Prior to their appearance at nationals, several Lady Redcoat relays and individuals participated in Connecticut’s State Open meet, held Monday, June 9 at Middletown High School. The girls’ 4x800 relay team had Berlin’s best finish on the day, coming in seventh with a final time of 9:37.74. DiCicco and Grieco both competed
individually, with DiCicco finishing 12th in the 800 (final time of 2:23.33) and Grieco taking home 18th in the 3200 (11:35.80). The girls 4x100 team – comprised of Carbonell, Budney, sophomore Sophia Morell, and Daddario – finished 19th with a time of 51.47. The girls’ 1600 medley relay team (better known statewide as 4x400) withheld from competing. Don’t forget to follow us on Twitter: @BerlinCitSports
’Coats Notes: Golfers’ four-peat bid falls short By Nate Brown
The Berlin Citizen
come the dominating performances by Greenwich’s top two finishers, Catherine McEvoy and Alexandra Sazhin, who finished with scores of 72 and 80, respectively. McEvoy, the match’s top finisher, was the only player to finish the day under par (two-under) while Sazhin tied for fourth place. The course proved difficult for a number of competitors, as more than half of the field finished with a score in triple digits. Berlin junior Emma Atkinson finished with a score of 101, yet fared much better than others. More than 30 golfers finished 30-over on the day, with the highest individual score coming in at 141.
Girls golf The Lady Redcoats golf team couldn’t make it four straight titles, as the girls finished in second place during the CIAC state championship, held June 10 at Orange Hills Country Club in Orange. Berlin finished with a team score of 346 (50 over par), 11 strokes behind newly crowned champion Greenwich (335, 39-over). The Redcoats’ four scoring finishers – juniors Julia Kemmling (84), Ashley D’Attilio (84), Abby Underwood (85) and sophomore Alex Perrone (93) – all finished under 100 strokes, a difficult task to accomplish on the challenging Boys golf Orange Hills course. The Redcoats finished Yet Berlin couldn’t over-
strong in the Division-II state championship, taking home eighth place with a team score of 326 (38 over par). New Canaan finished first with a total score of 306 (18over) at the title match, held June 12 at Fairview Farms in Harwinton. Senior Austin Forauer, Berlin’s top finisher, tied for 10th place with a 76 (four-over). The Redcoats’ other top finishers all scored within seven strokes of one another. Sophomore Brandon Funari finished his day with an 80 (eight-over) while sophomore William Friday ended his day scoring an 83 (11-over). Senior Brian Bostrom, Berlin’s final scoring finisher, wrapped up his Redcoat career with an 87 (15-over). Sophomore Paul Chroma also
competed on Berlin’s behalf, finishing with a non-scoring 93 (21-over). Although their total score fell just outside of the upper echelon of the top teams (Berlin finished eight strokes behind the team in front), the Redcoats’ score still bested many of their 20 competitors. Berlin’s scoring finishers all ended the day tied for 58th or better, putting the local contingent in the top half of golfers for the day. Boys tennis Senior Dan Rombola competed in the 2014 boys state open tournament last week, falling in the semifinals to eventual champion Richard Ciamarra of Xavier, 6-4, 6-3. After earning a first-round bye, Rombola bested Ryan Foster (Classical Magnet)
in the quarterfinals 6-2, 6-1 to set up the difficult match with Ciamarra, the Class LL singles champion. Despite the loss, Rombola enjoyed a fantastic year. The senior went undefeated during regular season play and earned the number-two seed in the Class M singles state tournament. After falling to Bradley Orban (Foran) in last year’s Class M singles final, Rombola and Orban met again this spring. Although the score was closer (6-2, 6-2) the outcome was the same, as Rombola, once again, dropped a difficult match to Orban. While his Redcoat career may be over, Rombola’s career is not. He will continue playing, on scholarship, at the University of Hartford.

Molly definitely has a better repertoire as a pitcher; at least she uses it more effectively,” Pires said. “She kept us off balance. We’re a very good hitting team. We didn’t look like it today, but we can hit, and she kept us off balance all day, and that’s to her credit. She was a big part of the difference in the game.” Flowers didn’t allow a hit until the bottom of the fifth inning when senior leftfielder Megan Wicander hit an op-

I think she had a bad day,” Pires said. “They really hit her. They did a phenomenal job.” While the final outcome was less than satisfactory for a team that lost in a heartbreaking semifinal matchup last year (2-1 to eventual champion Masuk), Pires was quick to remind his team of all they had accomplished.

Although breaking through for the first hit against Flowers seemed to put more pep in Berlin’s step and begin to shift the game’s momentum, Sacred Heart squashed any hopes of a comeback shortly thereafter. In the top of the sixth, the Pacers tagged senior pitcher Mikayla Harris for five runs,

BHS Principal Francis Kennedy recognized the Valedictorian and Salutatorian. Both Grieco and Heimlich were also honored as CAS Scholar Athletes. “Intelligent, driven, and kind are just a few words the faculty and I have used to describe [Grieco],” Kennedy said. Grieco was cross country captain, a member of UpBeat, and class treasurer. Heimlich, “has prospered taking a rigorous program of classes,” Kennedy said, as well as “being involved in the Berlin High School and surrounding community.” Heimlich served as treasurer for the National Honor Society, as a house leader for UpBeat, and as a writing center tutor. He was also part of the track team and captain of the soccer team.

Pets For Adoption CATS FOR ADOPTION My name is Gabby and I have a step sister, Isabelle. I am 10 years old, overweight, but I am in good health and I go to the vet every year. I love boxes and I love to watch water being poured in a bowl. I hope to be adopted with my step sister, but, I don’t have too. My step sister Isabelle is 7 years old and in good health and a little more needy than me. We are not used to people and definitely would not get along with others. My owner has been very good to us, but, he has to move soon and we can’t go with him! He feels really bad and just wants to find a good home where we can be happy. Pictures are available. Good home only. Paul 860-471-3496 email: pchester516@comcast. net
