Longtime public servant retires

By Charles Kreutzkamp The Berlin Citizen

Former state senator and Department of Administrative Services Commissioner Donald DeFronzo retired this week, according to a statement released by Gov. Dannel Malloy.

DeFronzo served four terms as a Democrat in the state senate representing New Britain, Berlin and Farmington, and was succeeded by current state senator Terry Gerratana, who ran during a special election held after DeFronzo resigned to take the position as the DAS Commissioner in 2011.

DeFronzo’s legacy as a legislator remains in one of the prominent laws he enacted near the end of his final term in office.

In May of 2010, The Citizen reported that DeFronzo supported changes to fines levied on drivers found using cell phones. The bill passed, successfully increasing fines to attempt to curb distracted driving.

“Distracted driving is a major cause of accidents in Connecticut and a c ro ss t h e country,” DeFronzo said DeFronzo at the time.

DeFronzo was announced as Malloy’s pick for DAS Commissioner before the governor officially took office after being elected by voters.

“Don DeFronzo is well-respected on both sides of the aisle, he’s enormously talented, and importantly, he has the right temperament to take the helm at DAS. Don will examine the challenges of how government services are delivered throughout the Executive Branch and I’m looking to him to take a leadership role in designing a more efficient system,” Malloy said in a statement on Dec. 22, 2010.

“There’s no doubt that we’ll face a great number of chal-

Women who train with Lori-Ann Marchese at Body Construct.

Local woman honored as ‘World’s Top Trainer’

By Charles Kreutzkamp The Berlin Citizen

Berlin is home to one of the world’s top personal trainers – something that several women who regularly visit her gym are already aware of.

Lori-Ann Marchese was recently named a “World’s Top Trainer” by the Huffington See DeFronzo / Page 14 Post. Marchese stars in Bravo’s Game of Crowns and is the holder of numerous titles that include Miss Bikini New England, Miss Model Fitness America New York, and Miss Summer Nationals.

Marchese lives in Berlin and runs a training program exclusively for women at Body Construct in New Britain. “I actually have a lot of The current driving

competitions, but I wasn’t feeling good about my body,” Marchese said.

So she hired a trainer to get into shape and won Miss Bikini New England. “When I was training with men …

I wasn’t getting the results I wanted. A lot of the male trainers wouldn’t give me any fruit in my diet or carbs in my diet … I really wanted to win and do well, but one time I almost went to the hospital, I was having eye-twitching because I was so malnourished,” Marchese said.

Attending dental hygiene school, as part of the curriculum, Marchese learned about nutrition. “I learned a lot from that program … We had to make nutrition plans for patients,” she said.

Marchese said that among things she learned is that women’s bodies have different nutritional needs than men’s. “You don’t need to remove fruit or carbs from your diet. It’s very important that you have that nutrition.”

Marchese As Marchese started to win big competitions, she began training a few clients.

Soon, word spread and “A lot of people were interested in training with me,” Marchese said. She ran boot camps out of her home, outside, and at rented spaces. Then, about two years ago, she moved to See Marchese / Page 14

The return of ‘Library Land’ at Berlin-Peck

fun,” Gontarz said.

For younger children the questions may be as simple as asking a favorite color, and for older children, they may be asked how to find a specific library book. The goal is to make every child a winner, so hints are offered when the question is too difficult. The prize for successfully making one’s way through the game is a new book children are allowed to keep, donated by the Friends of the Library.

“I think it’s good for the kids, especially the younger ones, it’s a nice thing for them to do with their family,” said UpBeat volunteer Kevin Russel.

Danielle Akers brought her 5-year-old and 3-year-old daughters to Library Land. “I think it’s great,” the mother said.

The Berlin Citizen

The children’s section of the Berlin-Peck Memorial Library was transformed into a life-size board game Dec. 29 for “Library Land.”

“So far, it’s fabulous. Maybe 100 people signed up. The kids are having a great time and we’re having a great time,” said Head of Children and Teen services Jennifer Needham.

“This is actually the second time that we’ve done” Library Land, explained Children’s Librarian Emily Gontarz. A department collaboration came up with the idea, and Gontarz put together homemade props for the event.

“Since we had all the props ready to go we figured, why not do it again? It was such a success the first time.”

UpBeat volunteers MacK- Attendees hit one of the stations at Library Land. | Charles Kreutzkamp / The Berlin Citizen enzie O’Connor and Heather Mader were waiting eagerly for their first group at the start of the event. The pair said that librarians explained the rules of the game to them: Children advance along colored squares laid out through the library by drawing a small square out of a paper bag and walking to the matching color. As they travel across the board, participants visit 11 stations where they are asked age-appropriate questions and are awarded a sticker upon guessing the right answer.

“They are learning along the way as well as having

Happy New Year from all of us at the Berlin-Peck Memorial Library! And we start the year with some happy news for you. Based on your requests, we are putting a new DVD policy into effect. Beginning Monday, Jan. 12, all of our DVDs and Blu-Ray discs, including newly-released titles, will be reservable.

And would you like some more good news?

We are eliminating the seven-limit rule on DVD checkouts. All other guidelines remain; oneweek loan period and not renewable if someone else has placed a hold (reserve) on it.

As you may know, new materials, whether they

be books, audiobooks or DVDs, get checked out quickly. The staff and I urge you, if you don’t see what you want on the shelf, don’t say “Oh, I’ll check next time when I’m in…” Please place a hold on it. Our new circulation system helps us leverage the power of our 30-member library consortium to bring you your request more quickly than ever before. Instead of waiting for our one or two copies to be returned, we have access to the collections of those 30 libraries, and chances are that you’ll receive your request in under a week. But you need to place that hold. You can do it yourself online, or

Berlin-Peck Memorial Library recently acquired several books for memory-impaired adults. They are interactive and include color photos as well as interesting quotations that correspond with different themes. One of the purposes of these books is to recreate the oral tradition of storytelling. This in turn lets people reflect, imagine and find more meaning in common experiences.

The titles in this series can be read by anyone but are meant to be shared by a caregiver, family member, loved one or volunteer. By reading these books one can communicate more effectively and provide the feeling of well-being associated with sharing stories together. It is worth reading the introduction as well as the interaction

Berlin Legion to help host symposium Recruiting process among the issues to be discussed

By Ken Lipshez

Special to The Citizen

The American Legion baseball programs in Meriden, Berlin and Wallingford have teamed up with South Meriden Youth Baseball League and the Cheshire High program to hold a symposium for young baseball players, their families and their coaches to become better acclimated with college ball and its recruiting procedures.

The 2 ½-hour event, slated for Sunday, Jan. 11 at the Platt High School beginning at 2 p.m., will feature four coaches from state colleges discussing facets of the game as it pertains to them and the student-athletes they recruit.

The speakers will be UConn coach Jim Penders, Fairfield University coach Bill Currier, University of Hartford coach Justin Blood and Quinnipiac University assis-

tant coach Patrick Egan.

Penders will discuss the Huskies’ recruiting philosophy as it pertains to Division I baseball. Currier’s topic is hitting, Egan’s is pitching and Blood will talk about the relationship between coaches and players at the college level and how communication helps maximize performance.

The cost of the event is $20.

Advance purchase is recommended. Some tickets will be available at the door if seats remain. After speaker fees, proceeds will be meted out to the organizations in proportion to how many tickets each sells.

Tickets can be purchased through: Meriden Post 45 coach Doug Wedge (203) 7150582; the Wallingford Post 187 junior division’s assistant general manager John Christofor (203) 314-5523; Berlin Post 68 coach/general manager Rob Manzo (860) 986-9544; SMYL president Bryan McCarty (203) 907-8686; SMYL Babe Ruth Division vice president Willie Thiel (203) 434-0244; Cheshire High baseball coach

Special summer camp Camp Kesem, a national organization that provides a life-long peer support network to help children, ages 6 to 16, through and beyond their parent’s cancer, is pleased to kick off its second annual season of camp in Connecticut.

This coming summer, Camp Kesem at Yale will host 80 campers from Aug. 18-23 at Camp Laurelwood

in Madison.

With 1.7 million cancer cases a year in the United States, there are more than 3 million children impacted by a parent’s cancer, and Camp Kesem recognizes and embraces this often-overlooked population.

For more information about the camp and how to register, visit www.campkesem.org/yale.

Bill Mrowka (203) 530-8988.

Wedge and Meriden’s Edward DePersio, formerly a professional scout with the Braves and Pirates, said the event serves multiple purposes.

One is to bolster the sagging interest in Legion baseball brought about by the advent of costly AAU programs. They feel it isn’t necessary to spend thousands of dollars to train and showcase young players to college coaches.

“I want to help the kids understand what they have to do to become college players,” said DePersio, who has served effectively as a liaison between college-bound players and regional college coaches for many years. “A lot of players don’t realize what they have to accomplish in order to be seen.”

Wedge said most parents don’t fully understand the recruiting process, and strongly reiterated that an investment of thousands for private instruction is not necessary.

He offered several examples of players who have come

back to him to play Legion ball and landed at appropriate colleges after trying the AAU route without satisfaction.

“We want to give players and their parents a realistic idea about what coaches are looking for when they recruit,” said Wedge, who has been coaching Post 45 since 2008. “We’ll look at it through the coaches’ eyes. It’s not just how you perform on the field but how you perform academically and how you conduct yourself as a young man.”

DiPersio explained why college coaches are more apt to scout at the Legion’s Junior Division games.

“The Senior Division has some kids who are already in college and others who have already committed,” said DiPersio, who is now a member of Post 45’s baseball committee. “Kids in the Junior Division are all going to be sophomores or juniors in high school and coaches will be able to recruit every player on every roster.”

Wedge called the conference a “template to fit the

needs” of the potential recruits and their families at a fraction of the cost demanded

by AAU programs.

“It’s a business for them.

We do it out of the love of the game,” he said. “These guys make their livings by charging from $1,500 to $4,000 plus travel expenses.

Parents get caught up in it, thinking they’ll get better instruction and a leg up on playing college or pro ball, but it just isn’t true.”

He said the showcases that many of these organizations attend are in places like Maryland and Georgia, and college coaches from the Northeast often don’t get the chance to see their kids.

“Coaches in Maryland are likely to pick the kids in their own backyard unless your kid goes down there and hits like Mickey Mantle,” Wedge said.

“I’m not telling you I’m the next coming of Bily Martin, but I’ll work 12 months a year to help get your kid in front of baseball people and help get him in college. From there, it’s up to your son.”

Safe boating course A p u bl i c b oat i n g course, leading to a Connecticut Safe Boating Certificate and a Personal Watercraft license, is scheduled for the Meriden Power Squadron.

The five-week course is scheduled for Tuesdays, Jan. 13 through Feb. 10, 7 to 9 p.m., at Southington High School, 720 Pleasant St. A fee is charged.

The course covers boat handling, navigational aids and rules, required and suggested equipment, knots and lines and more.

DeFronzo lenges at DAS as we seek to downsize state government in a smart, strategic way, cut state spending and restructure state government to provide services at substantially lower cost to taxpayers,” DeFronzo said in 2010. “But I’m eager to get down to business and I’m honored that Governor-Elect Malloy has seen fit to ask me to join his administration.”

Four years later, Malloy praised DeFronzo’s work before his retirement, which was to be effective Jan. 7. Malloy said the DAS helped save taxpayers more than $50 million with staff consolidation, use of technology, more aggressive bidding procedures,

and other measures.

“Don and his management team have carried out our mission to streamline state services with professionalism and dedication,” Malloy said in a Dec. 11 statement.

“Under his leadership, DAS has identified millions in savings and made state government run more efficiently so that it can better serve the public. I want to thank Don for his commitment to making government work better for our citizens, and also commend him on a remarkable career of public service,” the governor said.

“I am grateful to Gov. Malloy for the opportunity to serve in his administration.

“It’s all women, and very motivating. They support each other and they cheer for each other,” Marchese said.

Marchese offered a few tips for women who are looking at getting into shape in 2015.

With the holidays, many will have been overeating or having too many sugary foods.

“We all do it,” Marchese said, but when the new year comes it’s important to get back on track.

Marchese said she prefers not to use the word “diet.” “I just call it clean eating,” she said. She places a lot of emphasis on fresh foods, and advises avoiding processed foods, and foods found in cans and bottles. A diet of fresh food requires more preparation than microwave meals, so Marchese suggests cooking foods to eat throughout the week on weekends.

“That’s the only way of doing it,” she said. As part of a plan to eat five or six small meals throughout the day, a good lunch is about a fist-sized

Marchese also advises that women, especially wives and mothers, take some time to care for themselves.

Women often put others first, Marchese said, but working out hard can give great benefits if one dedicates three hours per week.

Councilor David Evans (R) voted against the project, explaining that he felt it should wait to be addressed in next year’s budget and that he opposed drawing $30,000 from the contingency fund for the project. Officials in favor said that construction costs would increase the more the project was delayed. The measure passed 4-3.

The council heard a revised policy for season passes at the golf course in Decem-

The new policy specifies that refunds are awarded to those who suffer from medical conditions in the form of a discount to the season pass for the following year. No medical refunds are available after Aug. 1. The measure passed unanimously.
