Fishermen break the ice at Silver Lake By Charles Kreutzkamp
Ice fishing on Silver Lake, which is located just off of the Berlin Turnpike’s south end, is popular every year. Silver City Bass Masters, a fishing club “It’s a nice experience, really. It’s a challenge that pits you against the elements,” based in Berlin, organizes an annual ice Berlin resident and ice fisherman Frank fishing contest at Silver Lake. The organization was founded in the mid 70s in Slogeris said. Meriden and has been based out of Berlin since the 80s. Unfortunately, this year, as in several past years, the Silver Lake Ice Derby was canceled. “The ice was only a b o ut t h re e i n c h e s thick in most places,” Silver City Bass Masters President Al Guite explained. Because hund re d s of f i s h e r m e n regularly attend the Silver Lake Ice Derby, the ice needs to be much thicker to support the crowd. One thing that draws fishermen is the handsome cash prize for the five anglers who catch the heaviest fish of One of the ice fishers in Gary Sala’s group checks a tip any species. “It’s unforup after a flag flipped up, only to find the fish had gotten away. |(Charles Kreutzkamp / The Berlin Citizen) See Fishermen / Page 4 The Berlin Citizen
carefully chosen to provide representation for high school and middle school athletics, for both boys and girls, and for coaches who do not work as teachers, Day explained. “It’s a fairly balanced council,” Day said. Volunteer coaches have joined as well. BICA’s official bylaws state that the organization’s purpose is to provide a unified professional organization for its members, to foster sound and equitable competitive experiences for Berlin’s student-athletes, and to maximize educational benefits that student-athletes gain from interscholastic athletics programs. BICA also strives to serve as public relations to represent coaches positively to the press, school admin-
istration, parents, Booster Club, and others. A primary concern of the organization is to create better lines of communication between parents, students, and coaches, according to the organization’s talking points, which state, “BICA wants to clarify the BHS Athletic Department Parental Communications Policy regarding complaints. BICA wants the Administration to follow the Chain of Command that has been in place for over a decade. This policy was submitted to HR for Board Approval in 2004.” One BICA member who preferred to remain anonymous said that the bullying allegations are not BICA’s See Allege / Page 15
Severe weather impedes salt deliveries By Charles Kreutzkamp The Berlin Citizen
Berlin saw two major snowstorms recently: Maximus on Feb. 3, and Nika on Feb. 12. Maximus delivered about six inches of very powdery snow, some of which melted in time for Nika’s near foot of snow followed by a layer of ice from a wintry mix at higher temperatures. B e rl i n P u b l i c Wo rk s Director Arthur Simonian confirmed that there is a general salt shortage across Connecticut. Part of the shortage has been caused by the increased demand of salt across the Midwest.
In Berlin, Simonian explained, the salt order was delayed due to a problem with the trains. The tracks got too cold, which caused rail switches to freeze up. “We still have salt in our inventory, so will not be in any danger of running out before we receive the next shipment,” Simonian said. “At this point we have been told the rail cars are running again and trucks are making deliveries.” The budget is faring well. “Our salt budget is down to less than half, which is not so bad for this time of year.

Retiring teacher Root changed with the times Willard Elementary School teacher Janet Root will retire at the end of this school year after 28 years in education, including 26 years at Willard. “Our school community is grateful we have worked with such an effective educator,” Willard principal Salvatore Urso said of Root, who currently teaches second grade. “Mrs. Root is a veteran teacher who will be very difficult to replace,” Urso said. Root began her career teaching kindergarten through third grade special education, assisting learning disabled children. Then she transitioned to teaching reg-
In second grade, “kids still have lots of wonder and are still very excited about school,” Root said. Also, she said second-graders begin grasping nuances of language and learning how to tell and understand jokes. Moreover, “they love learning, and if I become excited about teaching, they become excited,” Root said. “Mrs. Root knows her students and pushes them to be their best every day,” Urso said. The principal also praised Root’s extensive participation in professional development.

Berlin is growing, according to Grand List The Berlin Citizen
According to the recently released Grand List, which records all taxable property in Berlin, the town grew by 1.56 percent, which is .06 percent greater than the national inflation rate. Furthermore, the town grew across every category, including property, motor vehicles, and real estate. Assessor Joseph Ferraro explained that real estate is generally static, unless improvements are made resulting in a desire for property to be re-assessed. Motor vehicles in particular, however, always depreciate significantly in value, so for the town’s tax base to remain favorable, business owners, homeowners, and businesses must have been purchasing new vehicles to make up for the decreases. Town Manager Denise
McNair said at the Feb. 4 Town Council meeting that the assessment news was positive, especially as the town prepares to face a difficult budget year. “We are in better shape than we could have been and in better shape than surrounding towns. We are very pleased to have that kind of increase and it bodes well for the upcoming budget,” McNair said. Ferraro said that producing the Grand List is the result of a year-long process of assessments, tracking title changes, and other work. Because of depreciation, the task always begins in the red. Crunch time, Ferraro said, is generally November through January and although a 30-day extension is available, this year, as in most years, the list was prepared on time. The largest increases this year came from real estate and personal property, rep-

The Town of Manchester, Gaudette said, revised its ordinance. Manchester revised the ordinance in August of last year, and elected to offer rebates
to all condominium associations, but not to apartment complexes. Every member of the public who attended the meeting spoke in favor of revising the ordinance. A revised version of the ordinance will be ready for a vote at the next Town Council meeting, Feb. 25.
Prayer For T he Council Make me be a channel of peace at each Council meeting. Where there is misunderstanding, let me bring mutual understanding. Where there is injury through angry rebuttal let there be mutual pardon. And where there is doubt in the other party’s motives, let there be faith in their sincerity. Where there is sadness over a vote, let there be acceptance of the outcome. Oh Master grant that I may never seek to get my way out of pride and so much to be consoled as to console with mutual compromise. Not to be understood as much to understand the motives of my elected party and the others elected by our people. Let me not try to belittle but love with respect who are here tonight. O Lord, let your compassion be present at every meeting of the Council elected through your citizens of Berlin.

However, if the rest of February is incredibly snowy, he pointed out that public works may need to approach the council for more funds. Both Maximus and Nika, as well as other winter storms this season, were named by a Latin class in Bozeman, MO. Maximus is Latin for “great” or “large” and Nika is another name for the goddess of victory, Nike.

tunate we had to cancel, but safety first,” said Guite. The fisher’s luck landing fish on Feb. 8 varied greatly. Wallingford resident Gary Sala said his group had sent him for more bait after having caught dozens of fish. Slogeris had less luck. Methods of fishing also vary wildly, but Slogeris and Sala both agreed that the battle against the elements must be fought by dressing in layers, staying hydrated, and snacking. Both anglers also noted the importance of sunglasses, as the bright sunlight reflecting off the ice and snow can become blinding. There are many different ways to drill a hole into the ice. Some fisherman have powered augurs that run off batteries to make the task of breaking through the ice as easy as possible. Slogeris now uses a 6- or 7-inch manual augur, but recalled using nothing more than a crowbar to break through the ice when he first started ice fishing as a teenager. “To me, it’s all about the homemade sled,” Sala said, indicating Slogeris’ wooden equipment-carrier.

Snow, ice removal ordinances Property owners are not allowed to shovel, throw or plow ice and snow from private property into, or across a public street, per local ordinances, according to the Public Works Department. Residents are responsible for clearing snow and ice from any public sidewalk fronting their property. All sidewalks are to be cleared and/or sanded within 24 hours of the completion of street plowing operations. It is the responsibility of the property owner fronting that sidewalk to make it safe for public travel. Failure to comply will subject the abutting property owner to a written warning and/or $100 fine as noted in the Town of Berlin
Municipal Code. “No parking” bans become effective automatically (or at the discretion of the Director of Public Works) whenever there is an accumulation of four (4) inches or more of snow and ice on any of the streets of the town. “No parking” bans will terminate no sooner than eight (8) hours after a snowstorm, or as directed by the Director of Public Works. Any vehicle left parked on the street after such a ban has taken effect, will be towed and subject to a fine and all towing and storage charges. For more information, call the Public Works Department at (860) 828-7022.

Crafty way to make old crayons shine again
Petit says he won’t run for Congress
By Amy Flory
Special to The Citizen
My kids always get new crayons for Christmas, so i n Ja n u a r y I’m looking for ways to get rid of the piles and piles of broken crayons in our house. Last year, I fo u n d t h i s Flory cute and easy craft on Pinterest, and decided to make heart-shaped crayons to give to my kids’ classmates for Valentine’s Day. They were crazy easy, so we’re making them again this year. The hardest part of this project is peeling the paper off of the crayons. My kids are forever peeling wrappers, so I thought they would love this task. They did not. They complained, and quit after about three crayons, leaving me to grumble under my breath while I peeled, peeled, peeled. This year, I soaked the crayons in cold water for a few minutes, and the wrappers practically jumped off the crayons. The kids loved peeling wrappers off of the soaked crayons. After peeling the crayons, break the crayons into
Melt someone’s heart with this crayon craft. smaller pieces. My kids were able to snap the narrow crayons themselves, and I chopped the fatter crayons with a knife. Then, the crayon bits went into a heart-shaped mold. There are many heart-shaped silicone molds out there, and I found mine at Target for about $3. Make sure you get the kind that is heat resistant, because the ice cube trays look very similar, but will melt all over your oven. The one I have can be used to make larger molds by setting it right side up, or smaller molds by turning it upside down and using the heartshaped indent on the bottom.
We’ve made them both ways. You can either group your colors or throw them into the molds haphazardly. I’m partial to the color grouping, but my kids like the mixed color look, so we have both in our batches. Cook the crayons for about 10 minutes at 300 degrees, or until all the bits are melted. Let the crayons cool about 15 minutes or so, and when they’ve hardened, pop the crayons out of the mold. They come out super easy. Now the crayons are ready to be given as gifts, or shared with your neighbors and friends — and you can brag about how crafty you are.

NEW HAVEN (AP) — The Connecticut doctor whose wife and two daughters were killed in a 2007 home invasion said Feb. 5 he has decided not to run for Congress. Dr. William Petit said in a statement provided to The Associated Press that he will not be a candidate in the 5th Congressional District. Though he had been approached by a number of people who urged him to consider running, Petit said his “clear priority” is spending time with his new wife and 10-week-old son. “I feel particularly blessed to be able to devote my time to them and to continue to volunteer for the Petit Family Foundation at this stage of my life,” he wrote. Petit told reporters in November he was “50-50” on running. The district is represented by Democratic
Rep. Elizabeth Esty. Petit has never held elected office, but he was deeply involved in campaigning against the repeal of Petit Connecticut’s death penalty. “I have always felt it is a great responsibility and privilege in a democracy to run for public office, and that those who care about good government need to be willing to get involved,” Petit said. Petit was considered a formidable candidate if he ran and the seat is one where Republicans would have a chance to break Democrats’ lock on the state’s congressional delegation.

HARTFORD (AP) — Gov. Dannel P. Malloy offered a revised $19 billion budget to the General Assembly Feb. 6 for consideration this session. The actual figure is approximately $22 billion after taking into account Medicaid spending, which was taken off-budget last year during negotiations. Here are some highlights of the proposal: — Includes $11.5 million to provide 1,020 new pre-kindergarten slots in fiscal year 2015, first targeting the state’s low-income children. The state’s goal is to have universal access to pre-K by the end of 2019. — Phases in the exemption of a portion of teachers’ pensions from the state’s income tax, retroactive to Jan. 1, 2014. For income year 2014, the exemption would be 25 percent. It would rise to 50 percent the following year. — Uses part of the projected $500 million surplus from this year to provide a sales and motor fuels tax re-
fund. It would be $55 for eligible individuals with less than $200,000 in income and $110 for eligible joint filers with less than $400,000 in income. — Uses $100 million of the surplus to make a payment toward the state’s pension fund and $272.6 million for the state’s Rainy Day Fund. Malloy also proposed legislation requiring future surpluses be deposited in the Rainy Day Fund, spent on reducing longterm liabilities or used for tax relief. — Exempts non-prescription drugs from the state’s sales tax. Malloy’s previous budget had eliminated a tax exemption for such medications. — Extends an angel investor tax credit for two years, providing $3 million each year to early investors who provide cash investments to qualified small businesses engaged in emerging technologies. — Creates the CHET Baby Scholars Program, which provides a one-time incentive of $100 to families of Connecticut children who open at CHET 529 college savings account

The peculiar power of love — and chocolate By Rev. Ray Andersen Special to The Citizen
Contrary to popular belief Valentine’s Day was not created by the combined efforts of the Hallmark greeting card company, FTD florists, and the chocolate truffle industry. It came about from the story of a priest in third century Rome, named Valentine. As the story goes Emperor Claudius II (known behind his back as “Claudius the Cruel”) was waging several difficult military campaigns. He believed that soldiers fought better if they had no families at home; hence he forbade young men to marry. Valentine, believing that young people should not only marry but also have God present in their relationship, secretly married couples defying Claudius. For this
he was executed (by decapitation) in 269 A. D. Before dying he sent a letter to a blind girl he had been praying for and signed it “from your Valentine.” The rest, of course, is history; and a piece of history that no self-respecting entrepreneurial greeting card company could possibly ignore. Today marriage seems to be in a state of disrepair. There is such a high rate of divorce that first marriages are sometimes called “starter” marriages. There’s strong social debate on civil unions and same sex marriages. Young people often fear that marriage may ruin their relationship. At any rate no one thinks marriage is easy, especially whoever wrote the wedding service: “for better or worse, for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health…”
Perhaps St. Valentine, in support of marriage, might say love needs to be more than just a warm fuzzy feeling for someone. After all it’s as easy to get a warm fuzzy feeling about someone as it is to make yourself yawn. Love requires a decision of the will, an intentional, determined choosing of another that will help both get through the “better or worse” parts of their future. Valentine’s Day may have become one of the secular world’s high holy days, but it’s also a good time to think about the peculiar power of love. Love is both the strongest and weakest force in the world. It’s strong enough to conquer that most impregnable of fortifications, the human heart; yet it can only do so with the consent of the conquered. Love can breach a wall, but can do so, not by its own strength, but only
at the invitation of the one whom the wall defends. Love has a strange arithmetic to it. You see this at every wedding. One person plus one person does not equal two persons. When two people give themselves away in love to one another it creates a new lifeform, a new being that equals much more than two. My math skills never got me past Algebra 101 so don’t ask me how it works. It just does. Being a preacher I’m tempted to say it has something to do with holiness and that love is of God. On the other hand it might be wise to recall Charlie Brown who said, “All you need is love, but a little chocolate now and then doesn’t hurt.” Reverend Ray Anderson is a priest at St. Peter’s Episcopal Church in Cheshire.

As anglers head out on the ice, occasionally it will crack. When the weather is below freezing, some of the ice cracks can indicate a very safe environment, as the cracks are a result of the ice expanding. Sala described the thickness of the ice as “very safe.” You could probably drive a car out onto the ice, he said. Sala’s group, which included his son and some other friends, fished using “tip ups, a type of trigger device.” Connecticut Fishing licenses allow each fisher to deploy six of these devices, which hook fish in response to a bite and flip a flag up into the air. When one of the flags flips, everyone nearby comes running. By the time someone starts pulling the line in, however, they can already tell the fish got away — and it’s time to rebait the hook. Guite said that Silver Lake can be tougher than some other locations, but that it’s still a great place to catch fish. Silver City Bass Masters organized an effort to clean up the area around the lake several years ago, and hauled away bags upon bags full of trash. Now, the yearly cleanup effort takes no more than an hour. “They introduced cat-

Young swimmers growing up fast By Nate Brown The Berlin Citizen
The saying about the journey being more important than the final destination couldn’t ring more true. As the season has progressed for the Redcoat boys swimming and diving team, the surface has looked bleak and unimpressive, with many a meet passing by with another loss in the record book. Yet looking below the surface is where the true winning has happened. It’s beyond the scoreboard where Berlin’s fans will see the most growth.
Speaking of his team’s most recent defeat to Middletown (98-82), BHS coach Dan Thurston said, “They did really well. Saw a lot of best times. A lot of great times all the way up and down. I was happy with the energy. We swam some different things than we’ve been swimming recently to see how far we’ve come since the beginning of the season.” How far the team has come has little to do with the distances the boys have logged in the lanes. Instead, how much time each individual has dropped over the course of the season has proved to
be a greater victory for the team, as it has helped to shed light on what could be a bright future for the program. “It’s hard to do best times from meet to meet, but they keep doing them at a pretty healthy clip,” said Thurston. For a team with only five seniors and 10 total upperclassmen, plenty has been asked of the underclass swimmers. While the collective group hasn’t been able to yet make a difference in the win-loss column, there are a few that have impressed Thurston and his staff, including freshmen Thomas Wejda and Kevin Klotz. “It was nice to see Thomas in the 50 meter freestyle; we hadn’t seen him (in that event) since the beginning of the year. He dropped about a second off of his flat start which was excellent,” said Thurston. “It was nice to see Kevin Klotz back in the 100 backstroke. He hasn’t swam
it in a couple of meets, and he had a nice swim today.” Aside from the impressive freshmen performances, Thurston was also pleased with the work of his 100 freestyle swimmers. Berlin’s top three finishers –senior captain Brian Kennure, junior Dan Paszkowski and junior Wojciech Kajzer –all dropped more than two seconds off their season best times. Wejda also had an impressive 100 breaststroke, coming from behind in the final 50 meters to beat his opponent by almost two full body lengths. “ I t h i n k o n e of h i s strengths is that he doesn’t really have a weak stroke; he’s got a good fly, a good back, a good breast, and a good free, and we’re just really seeing where he’s at,” said Thurston. “It’s been fun to see him in each one of those events, and to see some of his confidence build
up. And it will be exciting to see where his times end up at the end of the year.” Regardless of the team’s record at the end of the regular season, the continuous best times will help the Redcoats make more noise each meet, and hopefully set them up for some success at the state finals. “I think seeing the best times along the way, seeing the progress that they’re making keeps feeding into what they’re doing. I still think that with a young team, a lot of them don’t know the times they’re going to do at the end of the season just because they haven’t been through it before,” said Thurston. “I’m excited to see where they’re going to be, and I know my coaches are just as excited to see where they’re going to be, and see where they’re going to get. And I don’t even think some of them know where that is yet.”

singular concern, and that procedures regarding complaints need to be clarified. BICA seeks to provide a voice for all concerns coaches have, this member said. Creating a chain of command and ensuring that complaints are handled through procedures described in the Student Handbook will help address issues that many coaches have, this BICA member explained. BICA’s other talking points include supporting the development of a survey that will include both students and parents, as well as com-
municating to school administrators “the pressures of coaching in Berlin.” BICA cites “the recent Michael’s Cup won by the Athletic Department” as evidence of the excellence of the Berlin Athletic Department. BICA also clarified in these talking points that it is “in no way interested in becoming a union. Our sole purpose is to create a healthy, educationally-sound environment for our student-athletes and coaches.”
