High schoolers ready to hit the stage By Charles Kreutzkamp The Berlin Citizen
Performers from Berlin High School rehearsed afternoons and weekends to prepare for their upcoming performances of Seussical The Musical. Seussical was selected because it is an ideal choice for high schoolers, director Kathryn Crabb explained. There are a lot of great parts for students to shine in, an imaginative set and costumes for the teenagers to create. Also, the music is a good level for a student pep band, which will be playing. “We haven’t been able to have the pep band play for several years,” Crabb said. The most challenging aspect of putting on the production is managing the many aspects that go into the performance, Crabb explained. The tasks of building sets, managing costumes, props, directing the band, actors, and choreography all have to be
carefully coordinated. Fortunately, Crabb has had help from science teacher Morgan Hanna, who assisted with sets, and pep band director Jeff Sirois, who has assisted with the band, and will be playing in the musical. “I like to play a part in design and to be part of the show without having to be on stage,” Stage Manager Becky Carriere said. The BHS junior has participated in musicals for years, including last year’s production of Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Seniors Natalie Souza and Connor Morrin play lead roles of Horton the Elephant and Gertrude McFuzz. “We played opposite each other two years ago,” Connor said, when they performed in The Boyfriend. “I was the boyfriend, and she was after me. And now she’s after me again.” “I just love doing this. All of See Musical / Page 5

An unassuming – and very generous – lady By Charles Kreutzkamp The Berlin Citizen
T h e B e rl i n S e n i o r Center, Historical Society, Lions Club, and Hospital of Central Connecticut were all named beneficiaries of a bequest totaling $1.5 million made by Myrna Pauloz, a Berlin native, who passed away in 2012. “We were shocked when we learned about this gift,” senior center director Tina Doyle said. “Myrna was a very unassuming woman, she didn’t look for attention.” Pauloz frequented the senior center for Lunch Bunch trips to area restaurants and musical entertainment programs. She would pick up her friend Elvina Pucci to travel to the senior center regularly. “Myrna was such a good person, very nice, I miss her terribly,” Pucci said. “She was so good to me and I would try to give her little gifts to thank her, but she would never accept. Even after we couldn’t go to the senior center anymore, she would call me every night to see how I was. That’s the kind of person she was.” “I don’t think anyone realized Myrna was a woman of means and was in the position to make such generous gifts,” Doyle said. Pauloz left much of her charitable donations in the care of two named funds managed by the Community Foundation of Greater New Britain. Jim Williamson,
Myrna Pauloz and her husband, Alfred Pauloz. | (Submitted)
President of CFGNB, explained that the organization works with donors to allow them to realize the benefits of establishing a foundation without needing to navigate the legalities personally. CFGNB will manage a $1.3 million fund benefiting the hospital, as well as a $200,000 fund benefiting the Berlin Senior Center. The goal, Williamson explained, is to invest the money such that the funds can benefit these organizations in perpetuity. “We live with the vagaries of the stock market, but we invest our funds in a prudent, conservative manner, sophisticated in its diversif ication,” Williamson said. Funds are carefully managed to protect the principal from ups and downs of the market, while still enabling long-term growth. The result is permanent, yearly donations to the se-
nior center and the hospital. The senior center is estimated to be the recipient of more than $8,000 annually, and the hospital, more than $50,000 annually. The investments keep the funds alive. The Lion’s Club and the Berlin Historical Society both received lump sum donations. Kate Kearns of the Berlin Historical Society said that the organization preferred to keep the amount of the bequest confidential, but that the historical society is considering investing the money. This would allow the historical society to fund its operations and the museum, so that it can focus more on historical research and putting together events and displays. “If we choose to invest the money, people who come after us won’t have to focus as much on fund-raising, fund-raising, fund-raising,” Kearns said.

Ray Bendici, author of Speaking Ill of The Dead: A History of Connecticut Jerks, will be speaking at the Berlin Peck Library Saturday, March 1 at 2 p.m. Bendici will host a book talk and a book signing, and refreshments will be provided. Connecticut Jerks is a book about 15 notorious “bad boys and girls” in Connecticut history. The jerks range across ruthless industrialists, deranged murderers, and loveable rogues. Many people know P.T. Barnum’s love of tricking people, but to find out where and how he learned the art of the con, you will need to attend Bendici’s book talk. “Our patrons really enjoy programs featuring people or events from Connecticut history, so I thought a presentation on Connecticut’s notorious bad guys would be an interesting topic,” Head of Adult Services Librarian Carrie Tyszka said.

Tax prep help available The Berlin Citizen
As tax season continues, help is available. AARP Tax Aide has assisted nearly 50 million people since it began in 1968. In Berlin, five volunteers are available to assist tax preparation via appointments at the Berlin Senior Center and the Berlin-Peck Memorial Library. Last year, the program assisted approximately 350 people. Wendy Kingsbury, who runs the program in Berlin and New Britain, explained that the program is open to anyone with a relatively simple tax return, but that special attention is given to seniors with low or middle income. “If it is a very complicated
tax return, generally you need to seek assistance from a paid preparer,” Kingsbury said. However, the volunteers are trained to assist the average low or middle income tax payer, with special emphasis on assisting seniors, who may have more complex tax needs, as they sort out social security benefits and retirement accounts. Kingsbury said that the program has had to turn away small business owners in the past, but that most people can get assistance with all of their tax preparation needs. Appointments are available at the library on Tuesdays and at the Senior Center on Thursdays. “To us it’s very exciting,” Kingsbury said, “Often, se-
gized during the crummy winter weather months.” The work is very rewarding, Kingsbury said. Then, when spring arrives, volunteers rest
easy until February of the following year. Anyone with reasonable computer and math skills is qualified to become a volunteer, Kingsbury said.

Tuesday appointments at the library are available by calling the library at (860) 828-7126. Thursday appointments are available by calling the Senior Center at (860) 828-7006. The program also welcomes volunteers. Volunteers need not have any expertise to help out, Kingsbury said, just comfort dealing with numbers and willingness to learn a valuable skill. Volunteers need not be accountants or tax preparers themselves. After completing a brief training program and a certification test, volunteers will be qualified to handle many kinds of tax returns using software provided by the IRS, which partially funds AARP Tax Aide. The program grows every year, Kingsbury said. “It keeps us all busy and ener-

State Rep. pushes for DUI penalties By Jesse Buchanan Special to The Citizen
State Rep. Al Adinolfi, a Republican, wants the legislature to increase penalties for driving drunk with children. It’s a cause he’s supported unsuccessfully for several years but Adinolfi hopes the legislature will pass the bill in this session.

Adinolfi said drunken drivers are sometimes charged with child endangerment, but that the charge is often dropped by the time the case makes it to court. “Now if found guilty (of drunken driving), it’s automatic,” he said.
The bill would classify drunken driving with a child in the car as a felony, with a maximum penalty of four years in prison and a fine of $1,000 to $5,000. Currently, there is no additional penalty for driving drunk with children in the car. The bill would also mandate an ignition locking device that requires a

Opinion
Oscar’s best picture nominees — the envelope, please By Tanya Feke M.D.
Special to The Citizen
At this stage in the game, the 86th annual Academy Awards have become a predictable acting race with Cate Blanchett, Matthew McConaughey, and Jared Leto as locks for Best Actress, Actor, and Supporting Actor respectively. Even “12 Years a Slave” has all but secured Nyong’o as Best Supporting Actress after her SAG Award win — though the ever charming Jennifer Lawrence could possibly sneak in and swoop it up at the last minute. The real action is in the movies themselves. While movies whose directors have been nominated are seen as more likely to take the top prize (see asterisks), my picks break a bit from that
tradition. 9) Nebraska* — The everyman story of Nebraska brings father and son together as they journey to Lincoln, Nebraska to claim a sweepstakes prize that doesn’t exist. Shot in black and white, the film captures what it means to appreciate the things you have when others try to wrestle them away from you. 8) Philomena — The true story of a woman trying to reunite with the son taken away from her 50 years ago, Philomena comes to life with the outstanding act-
ing of Judi Dench and Steve Coogan. Tragic and heartfelt, the story uncovers a truth that Philomena may not want to hear. 7) The Wolf of Wall Street* — “Greed is good” has resurrected its mantra amid a sea of profanity in Martin Scorsese’s latest though not greatest film. Wolf follows the rise and fall of real life stockbroker Jordan Belfort as he plunders the pockets of the little man and lives a grandiose life without remorse. 6) Dallas Buyers Club — When Ron Woodroof is diagnosed with HIV in 1986, he crosses the border into Mexico and learns about alternative treatments that could extend his life and that of scores of others. The story follows his embittered battle
with the FDA to do the right thing. Powerfully delivered and affecting. 5) Captain Phillips — The mounting tension is tangible when American cargo ship MV Maersk Alabama is hijacked by Somali pirates in the fact-based Phillips. Self control evolves into terror in the face of uncertain death. If I’ve said it once, I’ll say it again: TOM HANKS WAS ROBBED OF THAT BEST ACTOR NOMINATION! 4) 12 Years A Slave* — A free man is kidnapped and sold into slavery in Steve McQueen’s directorial about America’s shameful past. The star-studded drama stands as a disturbing reminder, if a bit heavy handed, of the cruelty that failed to see all men as equals. The acting ensemble portrays the range of morality
with exquisite depth. 3) Her — Say what you will but Her is one of the year’s best films. Brilliantly stylized by writer and director Spike Jonze, Her tells the tale of a man who falls in love with his computer’s operating system, showing that emotions and not physicality are needed to sustain a meaningful connection. 2) Gravity* — Alfonso Cuaron directs this film about a medical engineer and an astronaut caught in a tragic accident that destroys their space shuttle. Survival is only possible when instinct sets in and the breadth of their humanity guides at least one of them to safety. Gravity is thematically and visually breathtaking with enough adrenaline to See Oscar’s / Page 11

For gym rats, there’s no winter hibernation By Julie Sopchak

January can be a busy time for gyms in cold climates. With many outdoor activities temporarily on hiatus and a new year offering an opportunity for a fresh start, the weight room can get a little more crowded during the winter. At AM Fitness in Plainville, Kevin Ferrisi, creative director, said 72 people signed up in January to try out the facility, far surpassing the gym’s goal of 40 sign-ups. Now, a month and a half later, Ferrisi said only 16 have dropped out. “So far, every-
one’s kind of been sticking with it,” he said. Paul Carson, co-owner of Powerhouse Gym in Berlin, said a lot of people come to the gym during the winter, whether it’s existing members or new faces. “You always get that in January,” Carson said. This winter, however, has been a “little weird,” Carson said, since the weather has been so chaotic. But on clear, sunny days, Powerhouse gets packed. AM Fitness is a gym that focuses on group workouts. Ferrisi said people who signed up in January had the opportunity for a free trial of
the programs offered. “Once the free trial is over, we’ll see who sticks around,” he said. The gym works hard to keep people engaged and coming back, Ferrisi said. During the first week of membership, he pointed out that emails are sent out to see how things are going, what is going well and what about the program can be improved upon. But mostly, the emails are meant to encourage members to achieve their fitness goals. “We try to just really make them comfortable,” Ferrisi said. “We try to come up with different things.”

pretty small, so a new member can get acclimated to the atmosphere. “We always tell new members ‘don’t expect a real lot out of yourself in the first month,’” Carson said. “The only thing you should expect is to get here.” Formerly a competitive body builder, Carson said workouts don’t have to be extensive all the time, noting that some people don’t bother to go to the gym because they can’t dedicate more than an hour to a routine. “With exercise, the most important part is the consistency, not how long you stay here,” Carson said.

Tips the responsibility for shoveling out and clearing any fire hydrants near your home during and after a snowstorm. It took two engine crews to shovel out a buried hydrant recently during a structure fire. This takes them away from other functions that need to be performed on the fire ground and delays in the establishment of a water supply to aid in the firefighting efforts. In this case it did not negatively impact firefighting the efforts, but the potential certainly exists. Neighbors are also encouraged people to look out for elderly or handicapped neighbors and assist in shoveling out their hydrants. It is hoped that with these simple tips that you will be able to make the best of what is left of what seems to be a never-ending winter season. --Mark D. Lewandowski is Kensington Fire-Rescue chief.
Powerhouse Gym offers weight training, cardio, and group fitness. Being a smaller, non-corporate gym, Carson said his members tend to be more serious about working out, with some 60 to 70 percent of them coming in at least twice a week. Corporate franchises, Carson said, have much better advertising capabilities, so they tend to get more casual gym-goers. At such gyms, Carson estimates maybe 40 percent of members work out at least twice a week. Carson said, making use of personal trainers is probably Powerhouse’s greatest asset. Workouts usually start off

BHS settles for second at CCC competition By Matt Leidemer Special to The Citizen
After five straight years of being crowned West Division champions, the Southington High cheerleaders took the next step and were named Central Connecticut Conference Grand Champions Saturday, Feb. 22 at the CCC Championship meet in Glastonbury. The Blue Knights won the West Division for the sixth consecutive year. The overall
conference championship is a first for the program. In the South Division, Plainville repeated as champion. Berlin, which had its five-year South championship run ended by Plainville in 2013, placed second. The other division winners were East Hartford in the North and Rocky Hill in the East. Several area cheerleaders were named to the all-conference team. Tryouts were held at Cromwell High School, and
the top 10 in each division were selected. S o ut h i n g to n’s K ayce e Belanger, Rylee Gothberg and Monique Szabo were selected for the West Division team. In the South, Berlin’s Caitlyn DiCiccio and Victoria Giaccone made the cut, as did Plainville’s Isabella Donahue. Belanger, Donahue and Giaccone were all-conference selections in 2013 as well. It was the first selection for DiCiccio, Gothberg and Szabo. The BHS cheerleaders perform at the CCC competition Saturday, Feb. 22 in Glastonbury | (Photo by Matt Leidemer)

Coats’ Notes
Wrestlers fourth in Class M; Hockey streak continues By Nate Brown The Berlin Citizen
Wrestling The Redcoats made good on their path to make it back to Class M greatness this past weekend, finishing fourth at the state meet at Foran. The locals compiled 120 points, finishing well ahead of fifth place Branford (102.5 points). Five of Berlin’s finest finished as place-winners, with senior heavyweight Mike Burek (285-pound weight class) finishing second to Foran’s Luke Edmonson. Seniors Ethan Greider and Rich Schlichting both had a successful tournament, as well, as both finished third in their respective classes. Greider defeated Nicholas Kelsey (Branford) 10-3 to take third at 126, while Schlichting defeated Anthony Milano (East Haven) 9-7 to take third at 132. Jeremy Eliadas finished fourth in the 145-pound weight class. The junior fell to Jimm Roscover (Waterford) in the third-place match,

5-3. Junior Zach Veleas also finished in fourth place, falling to Michael Lapia (Stratford) 6-3 in the third place match in the 120 class. Sophomore Vin Biscoglio also had an impressive tournament, making it to the second day of competition in the 195-pound class before falling to eventual runner-up Steven Ghossni (Immaculate/Joel Barlow). Berlin’s place-winners will look to keep the impressive performances going during the State Open this Friday and Saturday in New Haven. Girls basketball The Lady Redcoats ended their difficult 2013-2014 regular season with a 47-25 loss to their rivals, the Plainville Blue Devils, to finish the year with a 5-15 record. Senior Alicia Maule scored 14 points in her final game as a Redcoat. In recent weeks, the local girls seemed to have found a groove in terms of playing together as a See Notes / Page 16

Ja c k C o o n e y, Class of 1945 As a 6-foot-4 center, Jack was a threeyear starter on the basketball team. In his senior year he was the leading scorer and served as a captain of the team. Jack was also a three-year varsity baseball player. As a pitcher, he was considered the ace of the staff during his senior year. In May of his senior year, Jack joined the Navy to start serving in July after graduation. After going to New Haven to be sworn in, he immediately returned to a game already in the fifth inning. It was a close game and Jack was called on to take the mound in the sixth inning, holding the opposition to zero hits, striking out five and walking only one. After the Navy, Jack attended Teachers College and Porter School of Design. He worked at New Britain Machine for 41 years. While

Hockey Over the past several weeks, inclimate weather hasn’t allowed for more than one game a week for the Indians co-op. During that lone chance to improve upon a five-game winning streak this past Saturday, the Indians made it six straight victories with a 7-3 decision over Suffield/Granby/ Windsor Locks at Newington Ice Arena. Five players found the back of the net for the Indians, as the DiPaolo brothers –Luca and Marco –scored two goals each. Matt Harackiewicz, Kevin Landau and Dante Guguliotti also scored, while Mike Davies and Berlin’s Dan McLeod added two assists each. Tom Wood recorded 17 saves for NBM.

The Celtics (4-2-1) were led by Brett Willaims and Zach Cancellieri, as both players scored three points. Joshua Clement and William Kurnick also got onto the scoreboard with two points each. The Wildcats (2-4) won in impressive fashion over the Huskies, 18-8. Jake Smalley led the way for the Cats with eight points, while his teammate Kyle Cardone scored six. Michael Motta and Caleb Orde both added two points for the victors. The Huskies (2-4) were led by Ryan Garrity, who scored all of his team’s
