“The American Dream personified” – that’s how Berlin resident Don Pelletier described the new owner of Uncle D’s Diner, which celebrated its official ribbon cutting Oct. 2. Pelletier said he has known Darren Anderson since Anderson worked delivering bread to the very same diner that he, Anderson, now owns and runs along with his wife, Kathy. Pelletier and his wife, Karin, are regulars at Uncle D’s. “You don’t see this sort of thing happen so often anymore… It’s why people came to this country,” Don Pelletier
cording to a press release. “My family has worked tirelessly to bring our vision to life,” Darren Anderson said. Anderson has been running the restaurant for a little over a year now. “It’s gone very well. The town has supported us and they all like the food. It’s all about good food, a good atmosphere and a great staff. We couldn’t do it without the staff,” Anderson said. The diner has its fair share of regulars, including Esther and Archie Blair. “The food is very good and they’re wonderful people,” Esther Blair said. Archie Blair said Uncle D’s is a great place to come for Sunday brunch and that the Thursday special – See Cutting / Page 9

Bid waiver proposal fails at council meeting There was disagreement on a motion at the Oct. 7 Town Council Meeting. A motion to waive the bid process and retain the services of local architecture firm Jacunski-Humes to provide engineering services for access control and security improvements at the town hall and the Berlin-Peck Memorial Library was defeated as the vote fell to a three-tothree split along party lines, with Democrats voting in favor and Republicans voting against. According to unapproved minutes, Town Manager Denise McNair explained that the Business Continuity Committee has been researching the cost of security improvements, including replacement of aging doors as well as the installation of a key card system. Originally the project was going to be under the $10,000 threshold that re-
quires a bidding process, but the committee decided that security improvements for the library should be considered as well, bringing the cost of the consultation to $12,400. Council Republicans argued that the town should go out to bid on the project, with council Democrats arguing it would be less expensive to retain Jacunski-Humes without the expense of the bidding process. Jacunski-Humes was selected as they are a local firm, and because they have blueprints of the town hall in their possession. According to Director of Public Works Arthur Simonian, Jacunski-Humes possesses CAD drawings due to previous work done. A new firm
The motion was defeated. Every other motion at that night’s council meeting was approved unanimously, including the acceptance of more than $5,000 in donations for the library, moving forward on the streetscape enhancement project by appropriating money from grant revenue to expendi-
tures, and the purchase of new vehicles. The council also approved the next step in getting a new emergency backup generator installed at the high school, which will allow it to serve as one of the town’s emergency shelters in the event of an extended power outage and similar obstacles.

BHS students strive to ease water woes The Berlin High School Interact Club started the school year strong, with a presentation about water by Rick Lawrence of the Manchester Rotary Club. Eleven percent of the world’s population lacks access to clean water and 35 percent of the world’s population is without adequate sanitation. Rotary International has made water and sanitation one of its pri-
mary areas of focus. Students learned that one child dies every minute from a water related illness, and that more people in the world have a cell phone than a toilet. In Guatemala, more than 50 percent of children suffer from chronic malnutrition and 50 percent of that malnutrition is due to the lack of clean water.

The Berlin Police Association and Union represents the men and women that work in the Berlin Police Department. We are asking for your support in the upcoming referendum concerning the new Police Department. In 1955, a formal police department was formed in Berlin. Since that time, the Berlin Police Department has grown from three (3) constables to forty-one (41) full time officers, nine (9) civilian dispatchers, one (1) administrative assistant to the Chief, two (2) records clerks, and one (1) technical support administrator. In 1972 we moved into the basement of the Town Hall. This facility served us well throughout the years and we have made due and rearranged space to accommodate our needs. Unfortunately, it has become harder and harder to provide the professional services that the town has come to expect of us and deserves in our current space. We have given you the chance to take a tour of the facility or watch a virtual tour on the Berlin Citizen website to better understand the situation we are in. The town building committee has worked diligently with architects and construction specialist to develop a building and site plan to better serve our community while keeping costs to a minimum and in line with what the other communities have spent for similar projects. The new police station is designed to house our current operation more effectively and to afford some room for growth. The new facility addresses the deficiencies, some of which were mentioned in a needs assessment report that was done 5 years ago. The new facility will improve efficiency in the office space, staff areas, and storage. It will also provide interview rooms to allow us to protect the privacy of victims, training space to maintain our skills and a community room to interact with town residents. We are the medical first responders and an accredited law enforcement organization that knows it is better to be proactive then reactive. Throughout the years we have acquired equipment to be able to provide the peace and tranquility that you are accustomed to, and better serve the community. This is an important matter that will affect our abilities to serve the community, fight crime and do our jobs effectively.
WE ASK YOU TO VOTE YES FOR THE NEW POLICE DEPARTMENT ON NOVEMBER 4, 2014. No matter how you vote, you can be assured that we will remain: • Committed to protecting and serving the citizens of Berlin 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. • Dedicated to providing the professional police and medical services that you have become accustom to. • Committed to the highest standards of conduct and ethics. Thank you for your support. The men and women of the Berlin Police Department Paid for by the Police Association and Police Union

this in broad daylight,” Gordon said by email. “These creatures are usually very elusive.” Scarecrows can be found at Walgreens, Volunteer Park, Dunkin Donuts, T.D. Bank, Lower Lane Park, Simeone’s Shell, the former Arby’s site, and Center Hardware. This year’s entries were incredibly varied, ranging from the frightening, like Cost Cutter’s scarecrow with an enormous pair of scissors and a severed head, to the quaint, like owl scarecrows from the Berlin-Peck Memorial Library and a Yankee Peddler

corned beef with cabbage – is excellent. “People come for the wings, the tacos… and the nice, fresh eightounce burger, home made every day,” Anderson said. The wings are a decades-old recipe that gives “a combination of a little bite with a nice brown sugar orange juice flavor that tightens at the end – that’s the secret.” Uncle D’s Diner is located in East Berlin and was previously known as Hometown Grille and the Route 72 Diner.

ning and Zoning regulations proposed by the Economic Development Commission would allow more mixed-use buildings on Farmington Avenue. Changes to the area have already begun using the state Small Town Economic Assistance Program (STEAP) Grants, which helped to remediate Veterans Memorial Park. The town has also received other grants poised to change Farmington Avenue and other parts of town, including grants for the train station, streetscape improvements, and façade improvements, which have already begun. The arrival of the New Haven Hartford Springfield rail line has been described as “a game-changer” by Deputy Mayor William Rasmussen. The new commuter rail service will begin in 2016. The Town Council voted unanimously at their last Oct. 7 meeting to authorize the town to apply for another STEAP Grant in the amount
of $500,000 to fund Kensington area sidewalk and pedestrian improvements. One quarter of Depot Crossing’s housing units are reserved for low income families. Although the project is a for-profit endeavor and will pay all applicable taxes as a result, the for-profit venture is owned by a non-profit, CIL, and profits from Depot Crossing will go to support CIL’s non-profit initiatives. CIL is dedicated to providing group homes and accessibility solutions for persons with disabilities, affordable housing for low-income families, factory conversion projects, and more. The ribbon cutting ceremony was to be attended by Connecticut’s Lieutenant Governor, Nancy Wyman.

“Everyone has been affected by cancer,” Labieniec said, and her own family has survivors and lost loved ones. “We are a dog related store, so we thought what better way to give back than with your dogs?” According to Lynn Kipphut with the American Cancer Society, last year more than 100 dogs walked along with their owners when the event was held at the A.S. Labieniec parking lot. “We weren’t expecting that,” Labieniec said of the 2013 turnout. “We were crammed in there,” Kipphut said. “The Lions are very generous and they are donating space for us to use.” Last year, the event brought in more than $15,000, fivefold the fundraising goal. This year’s goal is $5,000. “It’s not just about the money, it’s about the awareness this brings to the community,” Kipphut said. The Berlin Fire Department will bring a fire truck to the event, and UpBeat volunteers will help with set up, take down, and will provide face-painting. “Dogs are such a huge support system for people who have them,” Labi-
eniec said. “During my cancer journey, my dog (K-9 Titan) was there for me every step of the way, and he was one of my saving graces,” agreed Krzykowski. Labieniec explained that October was selected because the fall months are cool, and a good time for people to be outside with their dogs. Bark for Life also features a costume contest with the dogs, a contest for largest and smallest dog, and a contest for greatest distance traveled. Vendors at the event will sell goods to raise money for cancer research, and a professional photographer will be on site to take pictures of dogs with their owners that can be printed at the event to take home. New this year will be the presence of Dirty Dogs, with a special batch of homemade dog treats. A fee is charged for the event to support the American Cancer Society. Preregistration is discounted and available online or in person at Dirty Dog or A.S. Labieniec, which is also running an additional promotion for registrants.

Opinion Letters to the Editor Vote Soto
November – with emphasis on the words “informed” and “educated.” It is well established that certain individuals who comprise the Berlin Property Owners Association have come out in opposition to the new construction. Unfortunately, the basis for the BPOA’s opposition and the “information” it is disseminating in an effort to gain support, is not only vastly inaccurate, but false. I implore you to avail yourself of the information, facts and figures necessary to make your decision. Tour the current police station and witness the deplorable, inadequate, antiquated, conditions under which they are currently working. Watch the Town Council meeting on Nutmeg TV and NBC Connecticut’s report, both of which aired on Sept. 16. Recognize that our police force has tripled in size since the station was first built 40 years ago, and New police station that our officers and staff opneeded erate in ridiculously crowded circumstances. To the editor: As a matter of principle, to It is beyond me how any resident of this town could, in deny our police force with a good conscience and if prop- functional, clean, organized, erly informed, vote against secure facility in which to the construction of the new properly, efficiently, and hupolice station. To that end, I manely conduct their 24/7 am urging residents to make service, is reprehensible. an informed and educated From a financial perspective, decision when voting this common sense would prevail: To the editor: This letter will be of interest to those who vote at Willard School and the Senior Center (Percival School.) Who is Cathy Abercrombie? Well she’s your state representative. Here’s what she’s done for you: Voted to authorize driver licenses for illegal immigrants. Voted for SB 1160 – Punishing legal firearm owners. Voted for the biggest tax increase in Connecticut history Voted to repeal the death penalty Voted to increase the hotel tax Voted to delay the estate and gift tax reduction. Cathy has never seen a tax increase she didn’t like. Want change? Vote her out. Vote Pablo Soto Nov. 4. Scott Veley Former deputy mayor
procrastinating and delaying the inevitable will only result in a more costly project in the future based upon rising costs and inflation. Our police officers are dutiful to you and yours. It is now our responsibility to reciprocate by being dutiful to those who are charged with our safety and the protection of this community. Become informed, get educated, and vote in favor of the construction of the new police station this November. JoAnn Angelico-Stetson East Berlin
Support police To the editor: I have read several letters to the editor regarding the proposed plan for the new police department. Some of the questions in these letters are “why can’t the town renovate the existing building?” or “why can’t they purchase an existing structure in town?” If the individuals asking these questions had attended one of the very detailed informational presentations or had toured the present police department, they would have the answer to these questions. These options were explored at length and the answers to their questions, along with many others, can

The answer to that questions is obvious. Be informed. Do the right thing and vote “yes” for the new police department on election day. Juliann P. Collazo Berlin
Open space a treasure To the editor: This week I stopped by the New Britain Museum of American Art to see an exhibition of the work of Nelson Augustus Moore, a 19th-century native of Berlin. Moore was famous as a landscape painter, and often featured the views from his home in Kensington in his work. His paintings show the great beauty of our local landscape and the beauty of nature in general. Landscape painting was the first so-called school of American painting because newcomers to this land were so awestruck by its natu-
ral beauty that they wanted to capture it on canvas. To the religious it was like a vast Garden of Eden, yet unspoiled by mankind. I encourage everyone to stop by the NBMAA to see the paintings of Nelson Augustus Moore and to consider the value of landscape, not just a piece of a backyard, but a continuous landscape uncluttered by highways, strip malls, cul-de-sacs and cellphone towers. Imagine what it was like just 30 years ago before Berlin was bisected by Route 9, and before many orchards and farms were lost to development. Imagine what it will look like in another 20 years. Berlin doesn’t have a reputation as a beautiful place because of the Turnpike and because our town center got lost between Worthington Ridge and Kensington. But, Berlin still has an edge over other towns like Cromwell, Newington, New Britain and Southington, in terms of open space, and if we would focus our attention on saving every last precious piece of undeveloped land, Berlin might become the last beautiful place in central Connecticut. Amy Prescher Berlin

Opinion Berlin GOP issues food bank challenge With all of the publicity that the Ice Bucket challenge has raised for the ALS organization, the Berlin Republican Town Committee is hoping that the “N”Ice Bucket challenge catches on as well, not just in town, but across the state. They challenge you to raise food for your local pantries! As a result of a recent article in The Citizen, the BRTC is teaming up with local businesses to help fill the Berlin Food Pantry for our fellow citizens who are in need. The BRTC is asking or “challenging” residents to bring non-perishable food donations to several local businesses around town who have accepted the challenge. The challenge will begin with collection bins being placed on Oct. 11 until Oct. 24, with the final challenge

Larson faces two challengers in 1st District race By Jesse Buchanan Special to The Citizen
Incumbent Democratic congressman John Larson, whose district includes Berlin, faces challengers this year from the Republican and Green parties for his seat in the first congressional district. Matthew Corey, a Republican business owner from Manchester, and Jeff Russell, a Green Party candidate from East Glastonbury, have both run unsuccessfully before for state office. Larson has held his congressional seat since 1999. He served in the state legislature before that. The 1st District covers 28 cities and towns in the north, central part of the state.. Larson said he’s fought to keep jobs in Connecticut particularly in the defense industry. He supported awarding the presidential helicopter contract to an American company and keeping Pratt and Whitney the sole man-
ufacturer of the F-35 jet engine. “We need to get back to a focus on jobs,” Larson said. Although Larson there has been a recovery, Larson said Republicans in Congress are obstructing efforts to pass an infrastructure bill that would help improve the economy. Corey said Larson’s policies haven’t stopped jobs and businesses from leaving the state. Corey owns two business in Hartford, Advanced Services International, a high-rise window cleaning service, and Mckinnons Irish Pub. “I’m watching jobs get shipped overseas,” Corey said. “These policies are failing the American workers.” Regulations and corporate taxes should be reduced to bring companies and jobs back to the country, Corey
said. Defense industry spending isn’t the way to improve the economy, according to Russell. Russell “If we want our economy to be healthy, we need to move away from economically unproductive investment and into productive investment,” he said. “We need to address economic structures that increase income inequality.” Corey said he faces an uphill battle against Larson, a well-known incumbent. “It’s hard. You have to get your name out,” Corey said. “It’s all a ground game.” Corey ran unsuccessfully as a petitioning unaffiliated candidate in 2012. He said Republicans asked him to join the ticket and he accepted. The U.S. House is expected to remain in Republican hands after the November
elections. Corey said Larson, a Democrat, won’t be in a position to get much accomplished as a member Corey of the minority party. “Wouldn’t it be nice to have a Republican in Congress?” Corey said. Larson said voting for a Republican in Congress would be to support slowing the economic recovery. “Who slowed it? It’s been the government which in the House has been controlled by Republicans for the last four years,” Larson said. He said there’s a strong team behind him to win upcoming election. “Every campaign is about getting to the core of what people’s concerns are,” Larson said. “We treat every race the same. We have a great campaign out there working incredibly hard.”

Russell campaigned for the U.S. Senate as a Green Party candidate four years ago. He’s raising no money and said a vote for him is a vote for issues. “Every vote people send my way makes it more difficult for the power structure to ignore the issues,” Russell said. “If any Green candidate has more votes than the difference between the major party candidates, those parties will need to pay better attention to the issue,” he said. “If a Green candidate polls more votes than either major party candidate, the corporate sponsors won’t be able to ignore the people any longer.” Both Larson and Corey agreed that Congress had an important role to play in foreign policy, particularly the ongoing regional war in the Middle East. The executive branch has grown too powerful, Corey said, and some power should be returned to the legislature. Congress rather than the president should determine when the nation goes to war. “I think we need a strong speaker of the house. We need people down there with courage, that’s how you take it back,” Corey said. Larson said he requested Congress return to Washington to debate how the U.S. should confront the Islamic State in Syria and Iraq. The country should get support from Congress and the global community before taking military action, Larson said. Russell said military action alone, though, isn’t going to create peace and stability. “We need to set foreign policy goals based on cooperation,” he said. “Teamwork with peoples and nations who strive for peace will bring us much further toward peace and safety than guns and bombs can on their own.”

Sports Girls soccer sticking together, winning together By Nate Brown The Berlin Citizen The final score may have shocked the casual fan. After two difficult games earlier in the week, and a difficult midseason schedule, it’d be easy to think the Lady Redcoat girls soccer team might be quite tired headed into their Friday, Oct. 10 matchup with the Platt Panthers at Sage Park. Anyone who was there could easily debunk those concerns. Berlin ran away with a victory over Platt, besting the Panthers 6-1 to improve to 9-2-1 on the year, and 9-0-1 in the CCC South. The local girls used a powerful offensive attack that pressured the Panthers all night, which led to a 4-1 halftime lead and all six of Berlin’s goals being scored only 10 minutes into the second half. Seniors Sarah Bosco, Cara Johnson, and Erin Goodwin, as well as juniors Taylor Budney and Sophia Morell (two goals) all contributed in the onslaught on Platt’s defense, which stood no chance against Berlin’s speed and persistence. Juniors Michaela Dehm and Sam Giardina made five combined saves in goal to help record the win. “It was a total team effort,” BHS coach Steve Yanosy said. “The first two games (of the week) weren’t really going our way. It was a struggle. But we had a great practice yesterday, we were able to fix a few things, just sort of push through that midseason tough stretch, and the girls really responded tonight.” Aside from dismantling Platt, the BHS girls were
also able to finally unwind and celebrate their two victories from earlier in the week, a 1-0 win over Bristol Central in overtime, and a strong 3-1 victory over Bristol Eastern. Morell scored the deciding goal against Central, while Bosco (two goals) and Morell provided the offense over the Lancers. Dehm made a combined 11 saves over the two games. “We take one game at a time. We don’t try to look ahead. When you look ahead, that’s when things sneak up on you and they don’t happen the way you want them to. So the girls have done a really good job of staying focused on the game at hand,” Yanosy said. Berlin will face Middletown on Monday, Oct. 20 with the CCC South title on the line, potentially. At press time, both teams sported a 9-0-1 conference record. Each team’s lone tie came against one another in a 1-1 draw back on Sept. 26 in a dual at Sage Park. “It was just a great girls soccer game with two competitive teams,” Yanosy said. “That will probably decide who will win the CCC South, and we’ve talked to the girls about that, too: ‘Hey, you have an opportunity now, we’re right there.’ And it will be a great matchup for both teams.” Regardless of any outcome from now through the rest of the regular season, the Berlin girls have already locked up a spot in both the CCC and Class M state tournaments. And they’ve made it this far by sticking together, regardSee Soccer / Page 19
BHS senior Anthony Sisti breaks free for a huge gain against Weaver. The Redcoats prevailed, 51-7. | Matt Leidemer / For The Citizen
’Coats Notes: Gridders topple Weaver, stay perfect By Nate Brown The Berlin Citizen
Football The Redcoats continued their gridiron dominance with a 51-7 thrashing of Weaver Saturday to improve to 5-0. The BHS offense was clicking on all cylinders, as was the defense, which forced two safeties. Senior wideout Eric Garcia got the party started with a 42-yard touchdown reception from senior quarterback Alec Norton to put Berlin on top 6-0 in the first quarter. Following a botched snap by Weaver out of the back of the end zone to give the Redcoats an 8-0 lead, Norton reached the end zone himself on a one-yard run to put Berlin up 15-0. The Redcoats struck again in the second quarter on a two-yard run by senior tailback Anthony Sisti. Although the extra point attempt was no good, Berlin entered halftime with a comfortable 21-0 lead.
The second half was more of the same, as Berlin outscored Weaver 23-7 in the third quarter off three touchdown runs by Sisti (36, 48, and 15 yards) and a blocked punt out of the back of the Beavers’ end zone. Junior Zach Pajor capped off the scoring with a two-yard run in the fourth quarter. In total, Sisti accounted for 200 total yards of offense, 159 of which came on only 11 rushes. Garcia hauled in 84 yards in the contest, while junior tailback Owen Taylor contributed 160 total yards (82 rushing, 78 receiving). Norton finished the contest 9-of-18 for 215 yards with one touchdown and one interception. Senior kicker Paul Fontes converted 5-of-7 extra point attempts. Seniors Jeremy Eliades and Jack Stafstrom each recorded a safety for Berlin. The Redcoats will play host to a well known opponent this Friday, Oct. 17 when they take on the Plainville Blue Devils (1-4) at Sage Park. The game
will begin at 6:30 p.m. Boys soccer The Redcoats split two games last week, as they continue to fight for their postseason lives. The boys began their week with a disappointing 2-0 loss against Bristol Eastern in overtime. After 80 scoreless minutes, Berlin struggled to keep the Lancers off the scoreboard. Senior goalkeeper Wojciech Kajzer made four saves in the effort. The team finished its week on a high note, besting Platt by a final count of 4-0. The Redcoats, plagued on offense for much of the season, received contributions from all over the field. Senior Devon Reilly, senior Nick Vreeland, junior Justin Park, and senior Evan Hale all scored for the Redcoats. Kajzer made three saves to record the shutout. As of press time, the BHS boys’ record of 3-5-3 gave See Notes / Page 18

Berlin’s other scoring finishers – sophomore Lisa Grieco, senior Taylor Lupini, senior Sarah Hagen, and senior Kristen Madeia – came across the line in 21:46, 21:50, 22:54, and 23:13, respectively. The boys’ top finisher was junior Connor Ladd, who came across 27th out of 287

Girls swimming and diving Although they dropped their first two meets of the year, the Lady Redcoats further lined themselves up for an impressive run at both the upcoming conference and state meets. The girls began their week with a difficult 98-83 loss at the hands of Conard. The Redcoats began the afternoon with a victory in the 200 meter medley relay. The team, comprised of senior Kayla Cervoni, junior Olivia DeGroff, senior Arian Silas, and senior Kelsey Kozikowski, finished first with a time of 2:00.63.

They care about each other. They really enjoy being on the Berlin High School soccer team, and they’ve really become a team.”

Oil dealers to sue over gas expansion plan HARTFORD (AP) — Connecticut oil dealers are suing the state over Gov. Dannel P. Malloy’s drive to expand the use of natural gas, demanding environmental reviews. The Connecticut En ergy Marketers Association, which represents about 600 oil companies, filed the lawsuit Oct. 10 in Hartford Superior Court. It accuses the state Department of Energy and Environmental Protection and Public Utilities Regulatory Authority of violating state environmental laws to push through Malloy’s massive energy plan. The oil dealers are de-
manding that officials conduct an environmental impact study or determine that a study is necessary under state law. Oil dealers have bitterly complained about Malloy’s plan to connect about 280,000 customers over 10 years, saying the state is favoring utilities over family-owned firms.

He said now that his campaign is fighting back, Foley has called for a truce and is acting like “that bully in the play-yard who wants to call peace now.” Foley said he believes Malloy’s negative ads are a reflection of his temperament. He said Malloy has “cheapened” the election. On tax cuts, Malloy said he’ll take a “long look at the budget” and see what’s possible. Foley wants to cut both See State / Page 22

the sales and car taxes. Oil, natural gas prices confound New England HARTFORD (AP) — Federal energy officials say pipeline bottlenecks that drove up natural gas home heating prices in New England last winter could cause trouble when the weather again turns cold. At the same time, oil prices that once climbed to record territory continue to fall.
The Day of New London reports that local emergency medical service providers who have known about the range of effects from synthetic marijuana, sometimes Experts say chemical- marketed as K2, report a simly-laced drugs rising in ilar increase. Dr. Oliver Mayorga, chairConn.

He says what could act a sedative for one person can have the opposite effect on others, leaving them “extremely agitated, violent and confused.” He compared the effect on some users to someone using PCP, also known as angel dust.
There are many facets of vaccine administration that have been well –documented, include all potential adverse sequelae through the VAERS [Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System] established by the CDC and the FDA. I work professionally with children with a myriad of developmental delays, and the one area that we are quite clear on, is that there is no increased incidence of autism associated with vaccine administration. Even the original Pediatric Gastroenterologist in the UK who started the controversy, eventually recanted his position, and the journal that published it printed a formal retraction due to flawed
methodology. A large new meta-analysis shows no link whatsoever between autism and any vaccine, including the MMR [Measles, Mumps, Rubella]. Unfortunately, once a concern has been raised, no matter how spurious or unsubstantiated, it is hard to put “that genie back in the bottle.” As humans, it is good to question, to strive to improve things, to create better solutions, to consider all possibilities. All of the discoveries and recommendations regarding vaccines come from factual, objective data, data that is derived from the scientific process and, usually, millions of doses of vaccines. On this particular issue, the data is clear. The benefits of almost all vaccinations far outweigh the possible negative adverse reactions. For the few vaccines that are more potentially reactive, they are for diseases that are more serious and lethal, and are not part of the routine recommendations, such as Yellow Fever. The risk of disease must be weighed against any potential risk from the vaccine in all cases, but the data to base your decision on should be real, reproducible, verifiable, not anecdotal, or an observation not held to the standard of scientific rigor. Parents need to make these important decisions with their trusted Board-Certified health care provider. – Marybeth Ellison, MD, FA A P ; Ya l e U n i v e rs i t y School of Medicine Dept. of Pediatrics.
The wild card is the weather and how cold this winter will be. Officials say natural gas constraints are still a problem in New England and day-today price volatility is likely. If temperatures plunge, natural gas consumption in the U.S. is projected to drop 3 percent while spending will rise 6 percent from last year. In contrast, weakening international demand and high domestic production are pushing down oil prices.
That’s good news in the Northeast, where 23 percent of households depend on oil for heat. It’s 5 percent in the rest of the country.
odology if its conclusions collide with our distorted world view. This most often seems to arise in the area of climate change and vaccines and the prevention of disease. Most people are ignorant, in the true sense of the word, of the ramifications of avoiding immunization. The names of diseases are polysyllabic, faroff, abstract terms which have no context for most people, thanks to the very success of the immunization programs that they eschew. I have had the privilege to work in West Africa earlier in my career and see
children die of preventable causes such as Measles, Varicella, and Meningococcemia. The risk from infections from any given preventable disease must be weighed against any potential risk from the vaccine. Parents need to make these decisions with their trusted health care provider; hopefully, one that is actively practicing and a member of an accredited body such as the AAP, AAFP, etc. For parents who are concerned, please look at reputable sources such as the American Academy of Pediatrics: www2.aap.org/immunization/families/deciding, or, the Center for Disease Control, CDC, http://www.cdc. gov/vaccinesafety/index.
