This is an important investment for Berlin's infrastructure, community engagement, and overall quality of life. I believe that representative democracy is the most powerful form of government. Because of that, I will continue to make myself available to every citizen and promote transparency in our government in the new year.

COVID From A1

Connecticut has seen its positivity rate move over 5 percent for several weeks. “We think (the numbers) are going to continue to rise at the moment and hopefully settle down sometime in early January with a plateau and then see a decline,” said Dr. Ajay Kumar, chief clinical officer for Hartford HealthCare. “But we need to take a deep breath. We know how to manage. We are fortunate to be in Connecticut where we have a high vaccination rate. It’s going to be challenging over the next several weeks but we are in a position to manage.” The increase in cases and higher demand for COVID19 testing has prompted the state to open seven more testing locations.

No new restrictions or mandates are being considered, Gov. Ned Lamont said last week. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, COVID-19 symptoms may appear 2 to 14 days after exposure to the virus. Symptoms may include fever or chills, coughing, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, fatigue, muscle or body aches, headache, loss of taste or smell, sore throat, congestion or runny nose, nausea or vomiting, and diarrhea. Health officials encourage people to wear masks indoors and social distance if among unfamiliar people. They are also encouraging people to get their first vaccine and boosters if their second shot was more than six months ago. — Citizen report • Full Service & Repairs, Diagnostics & Accessories • 12 Month/12K Mile Warranty • CT State Emissions Testing & Repair

The website pickyourownchristmastree.org warns against burning your Christmas tree in a fireplace or wood stove. Pines, firs and other evergreens have a high content of flammable turpentine oils, and burning the tree may contribute to creosote buildup and risk a chimney fire. Also, the online Christmas tree resource states if some tree needles scatter inside, it is better to sweep them up; as needles can clog vacuum cleaners. According to the website, a Christmas tree can be placed in your garden or

backyard and used as a bird feeder and sanctuary. Fresh orange slices or strung popcorn will attract the birds and they can sit in the branches for shelter. Within a year, the branches will become brittle and you can break the tree apart by hand or place it in a chipper.

Lawmakers fail to reach deal on district lines By Susan Haigh Associated Press

A bipartisan commission tasked with redrawing the

boundaries for Connecticut’s congressional districts failed to meet its deadline last week, sending the challenging job of crafting a new

map to the Connecticut Supreme Court once again. In 2011, the last time boundaries were redrawn, lawmakers couldn’t reach agreement on the congressional districts and the state’s highest court named a special master to redraw the lines. “We’ll continue to have conversations with our counterparts, but I just don’t think we’ll be able to get there. It’s not adversarial. No one is angry at anybody. This is high-stakes stuff,” said House Speaker Matt Ritter, D-Hartford. He noted how both Democrats and Republicans face “external pressures” to redraw the congressional lines in a certain way. In contrast, the group was able to reach bipartisan agreements on how to redraw the state Senate and House of Representatives to accommodate population shifts, lauding the process as a template for the rest of the rest of the country.

“This is bigger than Connecticut. It has national implications, potentially. And so, I think for a lot of us, we’re hearing from people down in Washington about what they think and I think there’s a lot less appetite for agreement, given the level of stress and toxicity in that environment,” he said. “I think both sides feel it.” Senate Minority Leader Kevin Kelly, R-Stratford, however, blamed the state’s all-Democratic congressional delegation for the process falling apart. He accused the U.S. House members of thinking they’re an “entitled class” that’s “scared of competition” from Republicans and only want to to have safe districts. “Congressional Democrats only care about keeping their power. Their failure to reasonably negotiate led to an impasse. It’s why nothing gets done in Washington and it is unfortunate that this dysfunction is being

Duchess of Wallingford

The Connecticut Supreme Court agreed earlier this month to give the Reapportionment Commission until Dec. 21 at noon to finish its work redrawing the congressional district lines. The justices also ordered the commission to file an interim status report on Dec. 15 to update the court on the panel’s efforts. That report was to include names, addresses and telephone numbers of three people the commission would recommend to serve as a special master, in case the panel couldn’t adopt a plan by Dec. 21. In a notice released Tuesday afternoon, Dec. 21, the court said it will “appoint its own special master” unless the commission complies with its earlier order and produces three names by 5 p.m. The Republicans have submitted their own list of three names to the court, according to documents provided by the Judicial Branch. Ritter said he thought it was “absolutely terrible” the state Supreme Court is being put in the awkward position, for the second time in a decade, of having to finish the legislative task of redrawing district lines. Ritter said he was “extremely disappointed” in both himself and the process. “I think it is a very risky strategy for both sides to go to court because we’re asking the court to achieve a very difficult situation. And I just hope that the court will agree that minimal changes is what should be required. I think that is where I am,” he said. “But I readily admit this is not what they do and the expectation should always be that the legislators will do this job in the future.”

“Today’s modification will keep kids safely engaged in interscholastic and youth athletics,” Lungarini wrote to athletic directors on Dec. 22. “Any lack of adherence to COVID-19 mitigation strategies increases the potential of negatively impacting teams and potentially threatens the ability to complete a sports season. Let us all remain committed to providing opportunities for kids by strictly adhering to the amended guidance.”
