E-waste a big side effect of technology we love

By Hannah JacksonSpecial to The Citizen

We live in a world of ever improving technology, every year there is a newand better product for all your music, internet and electronic needs. The En-vironmental Protection Agency estimated that in the year 2005 alone 26 to 36million computers became outdated resulting in approximately 1.9 to 2.2million tons of waste nation-ally.

The state of Connecticutrealized the need for achange. As of Jan. 1 all cov-ered electronic devices,known a CEDs, are bannedfrom the trash. Ultimately,this law will keep unneces-sary items out of land fillsand make the earth more en-joyable for everyone.

Local says litter has to go,seeks like-minded volunteers

By Olivia L. LawrenceThe Berlin Citizen

Do you think Berlin has a litter problem and should be a cleaner, neaterplace? If so, you may want to contact Paul Chester. He’s looking for volun-teers to start up a “Berlin Litter Committee”.

“The idea behind the committee is to target heavily littered areas aroundtown — and there are plentyof them,” Chester said. “I washoping to hear from local citi-zens and get started by hav-ing meetings locally.”

Chester says he’s a good or-ganizer and put together asimilar effort when he livedin Hamden. He was involvedwith that clean-up crew forfour years.

Berlin has no lack of tar-gets for cleaning up litter,Chester said, naming localesfrom Beckley Road to Web-

Berlin may soon have anEnvironmental Commis-sion and Carolyn Wysocki,who posed the idea fiveyears ago, is ready to seethe plan put into action.

The Town Council unan-imously approved the ideaat its March 22 meeting andnow the recommendationwill go to the OrdinanceCommission; if approvedthere, the plan will go to apublic hearing.

“All good things come tothose who wait,” said

Wysocki, who is optimisticthe community will em-brace the idea and that theplan will move forward.She said the idea of a com-mission will exceed herearlier push to get somekind of “green council” orenvironmental concernscommittee together.

The time is right for thismove, Wysocki said, addingthat in recent years manyother area towns have as-sembled similar boards orcommissions. At the coun-cil meeting, Town Clerk

Council approves budget after contentious exchangeBy Olivia L. Lawrence

The Berlin Citizen

The Town Council ap-proved a $70.4 million budgetfor the 2011-2012 fiscal year atits meeting March 22; an in-crease of about $2.5 millionover the current budget. The5-2 decision came after thetwo Republican councilorsand the five Democraticcouncilors clashed over thelevel of spending.

Councilor Rachel Rochettesaid the budget was “aboutas skinny as it could be.”

But Republican councilmembers disagreed. Coun-cilor Kari Drost made a state-ment defending her positionof not supporting the budget,quoting Thomas Jefferson’sphilosophy of frugality andhis defense of property andearnings. The Democrats“think we should take care of

town employees, not taxpay-ers,” she said.

Deputy Mayor SteveMorelli countered that “asnice as that philosophymight be, in reality it doesn’twork that way.”

Drost said the Republicanshad made numerous sugges-tions for trimming the budg-et. These included: a reduc-tion across departments intheir professional develop-ment line; closing Town Hallall day on Fridays; and cut-ting back on a proposed “payper call” stipend for firefight-ers.

“You haven’t argued abouta damn thing. You haven’tsuggested a damn thing,”Morelli said. He then begantaking a poll of councilors asto whether or not they hadheard Drost make any sug-gestions during budget hear-ings. At that point, Evans ob-

jected to what he called a“cross-examination.”

Mayor Adam Salina saideach councilor needed “to bepart of the solution. If youhave specific cuts, bring itup.”

“We’ve taken a look ateverything,” said CouncilorBill Rasmussen. “We can’tpull anything else out with-out cutting programs impor-tant to the town.”

The new budget includesthe addition of a technicalsupport position for the po-lice department and about$120,000 to pay for the volun-teer firefighters “pay percall” incentive. CouncilorRobert Dacey said this was away to put off the need for apaid fire department.

Town Manager Denise Mc-Nair had orginally submit-ted a budget for about $72.4

million. The school boardhad submitted a request for$38.34 million. This was re-duced to $37.9 million; an in-crease of $889,000 over thecurrent budget.

The council also approveda $4.4 million budget for theWater Control Commission.

A public hearing on thebudget will be held at McGee

See Council, page 8


CommissionContinued from page 1

Kate Wall provided examplesof ordinances other townshave used in crafting an envi-ronmental commission.

“The role of Environmen-tal Council can be that of asteward in coordinating theefforts of the municipality,non-profit and non-govern-ment groups, environmentalorganizations, businesses,community organizationsand faith based communities

who can play a key role in de-veloping and implementing aGreen Action Plan. The over-all mission of an Environ-mental Council could be toensure a clean, healthy andsafe environment for allmembers of Berlin and forgenerations to come,” Wysoc-ki said in a statement to thecouncil.

Berlin has made progressshe said. For example, a reso-lution for use of green non-toxic cleaning products intown facilities was passed.Furthermore, “Berlin is amodel for environmental ex-cellence. The town has imple-mented policies that incorpo-rate environmental responsi-bility into its daily manage-ment of industrial growth,education, energy and wateruse, air quality, transporta-tion, waste reduction, eco-nomic development, andopen space and natural habi-tats.”

She cited examples such aspassing a resolution on towninitiatives such as usingLEED standards, (developedby the U.S. Green BuildingCouncil for plans that fulfillstandards for “Leadership inEnergy and EnvironmentalDesign), the Hatchery Organ-ic Community Garden, andacquiring open space.

Wysocki had originallysought to develop a “greencouncil” but “differentgroups have different defini-

tions of what ‘going green’means and it is now so wide-ly used as a marketing tool itis losing its true meaning,”she said.

“I’m excited it’s going to bea commission — that hasmore sustainability,” Wysoc-ki said. “We’re always goingto have the environmentwith us” so there will contin-ue to be a need.

Wysocki said she’d spokenwith Mayor Adam Salina pri-or to the council meeting andfound him knowledgeable

and receptive about environ-mental and health issues.

She envisions that thecommission would consist ofabout 10 members who meeta couple of times a year aswell as hold public meetingswhich would serve as a fo-rum for discussing environ-mental issues. Among its pri-mary goals would be to func-tion as an environmental ad-vocate and a leader in envi-ronmental compliance andprotection.

Sheri Sala met with theZoning Board of Appealslast week in an ongoing fightto keep her pet goat Benny, afive-year old animal she’s

raised since it was threeweeks old.

Several members of theZBA expressed sympathy forSala’s situation, includingCommissioner William Tra-verse who said he’d lost sleeptrying to sort through the is-

sue.However, at this meeting,

the issue was whether or notSala’s appeal of Zoning Offi-cer Monica Holloway’s cita-

tion was valid. Sala was citedfor having a goat on propertyless than three acres. Thereis currently a cease and de-sist order against her.

“He’s a house pet,” Sala

said, adding that the goat

was no different than a dog.

She provided information onanother community that hadchanged its ordinance to in-clude goats as pets.

More than a dozen sup-porters were in the audience.One woman made the pointthat the regulations are con-fusing. Holloway read theregulation she had applied toSala’s situation: that no ani-mals such as; horses, goats,rabbits…” will be allowed onproperty less than threeacres.

The woman said that state-ment could be interpreted asa dog could be a violation be-

cause the regulation said“such as” rather than “limit-ed to” and therefore could ap-ply to any animal the zoningboard wanted to include.

Dolly Winkler, who’d hadher goats removed by the zon-ing officer, pointed out thatBerlin was farm country andthat her animals had broughtjoy to neighbors and passers-by. “These are pets, we lovethem,” Winkler said.

Director of DevelopmentServices Hellyn Riggins saidthat while she admired whatSala had done, in rescuingthe animal, that it was notgermane to the topic of themeeting. That topic waswhether or not the zoning of-

The popular dolls and illus-trated story books were thecreation of Johnny Gruelle(1880-1938). Said to take placein rural Connecticut, one sto-ry even tells of Raggedy Annbeing washed, run through aringer and hung on theclothesline to dry.

Another new display takesinspiration from a poemabout Grandma’s aprons re-calling the indispensablegarment that not only pro-tected the dress underneath,

but served multiple purposesincluding carrying vegeta-bles from the garden andeggs from the chicken coop,to waving field workers a“dinner’s ready” sign, anddrying a child’s tears. Muse-um members searched theircupboard drawers for hand-me-down aprons and have as-sembled a nostalgic and fan-ciful display.

In addition to the new ex-hibits, the legendary LeatherMan stays with us for anoth-

ficer had correctly appliedthe regulations.

Riggins offered to ask theTown Council to waive anyfurther fees Sala would be re-sponsible for in bringing a re-quest for a variance to theZBA. “You’re picking thewrong battle tonight,” Rig-gins said. She offered to meetwith Sala in regards to how togo about changing the regula-tion which is under the con-trol of the Planning and Zon-ing Commission.

According to Horbal,“proper disposal of theseitems will help to make acleaner and safer environ-ment for all the citizens ofConnecticut and help to re-duce the refuse disposal coststo the taxpayers of Berlin.”

There are four recyclingmethods approved by theConnecticut Department of

ster Square Road. Several ar-eas, including waterways, hedescribed as “disgusting.”

“I’d like to see a clean-upday twice a year. And I’d liketo see businesses be morepro-active and clean up theirareas,” he said. Just cleaningup around one’s own neigh-borhood would help, also anadopt-a-road program mightbe another idea to pursue.

Chester does a lot of walk-ing and biking and so gets upclose with the byways ofBerlin on a regular basis. Hedoes some pick-up himself,but he can’t get it all.

He has put out feelers to lo-cal groups, but hasn’t re-ceived much in the way ofconcrete support, yet — ex-cept from Alice Mitchell, co-ordinator of Upbeat. He’dlike to have local businessescontribute trash bags andother supplies to help thecrew, once it’s in place.

Chester said his experi-ence in Hamden showed himhow cleaning up puts in mo-tion an attitude of mainte-nance. “Where we cleanedup, the areas tended to staycleaner,” he said. Eventually,garden clubs beautified someof the areas adding to the im-petuous to keep things nice.

Environmental Protection.First, all towns are re-

quired to provide a free drop-off location to residents. Thetransfer station for Berlin islocated at 11 Town FarmLane. The hours are Mondaythrough Friday from 7:15a.m. to 3:15 p.m. and Saturdayfrom 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Businesses of Berlin haveto find another disposalmethod. The law still appliesto them. Their CEDs may notbe put out to the curb. Theyshould contact a businessregistered with the DEP forthe dismantling of used elec-tronics. A list of such busi-nesses can also be found on

Many needsTo the editor:Another referendum on

Berlin High School and theBOE and Democratic TownCouncil won this time. Let’sget down to business. Howmany people had roof prob-lems in their homes and planon completely rebuildingthem? Given the financialcondition of the state, we arenot sure how much of the $70million dollars the townplans on spending (not in-cluding over-runs) and howmuch the state will reim-burse. We were told a tax in-crease of a couple of hun-dred dollars at most. Willthat turn into a couple ofthousand? I’m not againstour youngsters getting thebest education possible, butwill a bigger, newer school

make them smarter or willthey do that on their ownthrough great teachers?

And what will we do withthese buildings that are al-most unsafe with water, air,structural, heating and cool-ing, space problems andmore. Will our BuildingMaintenance Departmenttake care of these? That de-partment should not have letmost of these problems getas far as they have gotten.Visit Town Hall; the roofleaks, one of which is in thetown manager’s office.

The front door of theTown Hall and a door in thepolice department men’slocker room need work. Pro-jects that should have beendone during winter. Shouldwe look for a new town hallbuilding? Also, we are in direneed of a new police head-quarters. The Town Councildecided where this will be lo-cated although the PoliceCommission was not 100 per-cent behind their choice.What has this DemocraticTown Council done besidespend the money we workhard for?

Economic times have notturned around. I am a staterepresentative for the Sol-diers, Sailors and MarinesFund. We help veterans inmany ways, mostly monitar-ily. There are many Berlinresidents that we’ve helpedbecause they can’t pay rentand buy food. Those whohave, do not understand thedifficulties of those whohave not.

Commentary

Get ready fora better Berlin

You might call today’sCitizen our spring clean-ing edition. We’ve broughttogether a number of sto-ries about how we can allput a little effort into mak-ing our world a healthier,more pleasant place to live.

Two local volunteers arespear-heading attempts tomake Berlin a better place.For many years, CarolynWysocki has been encour-aging the town to create anenvironmental commis-sion with the goal of bring-ing more planet-friendlypractices to town life. Thatidea looks like it may sooncome to fruition.

Another volunteer, PaulChester is offering histime and energy to organ-ize a town-wide litterclean-up. He picks up litteron a regular basis andknows there’s a lot more tobe done.

These stories are onpage 1, an indication ofhow important we thinkthose messages are.

The message is timely,on another count: April 4through 10, is NationalPublic Health Week. Howwell we clean our own nestis one indication of ahealthy-lifestyle.

And Earth Day is justthree weeks away (April22). What better time topitch in and make plansfor how we’ll contribute toa better world on that day— and just maybe every-day.

Saving the planet is adaunting job, but Con-necticut’s favorite sageMark Twain offers thesewords of advice: “The se-cret of getting ahead is get-ting started. The secret ofgetting started is breakingyour complex overwhelm-ing tasks into small man-ageable tasks, and thenstarting on the first one.”

Carolyn Wysocki andPaul Chester are takingthose small steps that canlead to a big impact.

BHS alum Simons went from sports fan to insider

Wide support for Little League’s composite bat decision

Google images

Little League International has determined compositebats such as these should no longer be used in youthbaseball.

Bayram era officiallykicks off at Timberlin

By Pam FuschinoSpecial to The Citizen

Russ Simons is a hometown boywho made good in the world of pro-fessional-quality sports facility de-velopment.

After taking a rambling careerpath that included work in domainssuch as pay-per-view boxing and theHarlem Globetrotters organization,Simons has settled in at Populous, aglobal sports architecture firm inNashville.

Populous has 13 offices worldwideand is working on projects for the2014 Winter Olympics in Russia.

Simons said Populous is alwayslooking to do “the next thing better”,mentioning the retro-based ballparkphenomenon the company has beeninvolved in, including CamdenYards.

The future for Populous is “excit-

ing and not standing still,” said Si-mons.

A 1972 Berlin High School alum-

nus, Simons has had many careerhighlights, including being namedPollstar Facility Manager of theYear, earning the GIGI Award of Ex-cellence, and being inducted into theEvent, Sales and Marketing Hall ofFame.

After graduating BHS, Simonsbounced around area colleges butcouldn’t find a career path that ap-pealed to him.

While working at a bar in Hart-ford, he met his future wife, Janet.Simons said she helped him “get fo-cused.”

At the time, Simons was taking

classes at the University of Con-necticut with the goal of becoming agym teacher. Then, he discoveredthat UConn offered classes in sportsmarketing, which paired nicely withhis physical education major.

Things began to click.With a college degree in hand, Si-

mons loaded his car and headed for athree-month internship at The Sum-mit, a multi-use sports facility inHouston.

After completing the internship,he was offered a full-time position atThe Summit, which he accepted af-ter “about a second and a half ” ofthought.

Simons’ employment at The Sum-mit gave him the experience to starta couple of private sports and leisuremanagement companies.

Berlin High School alumnusRuss Simons has reached greatheights in the world of sports ar-chitecture. Simons feels his pur-pose is to be “the conscience ofthe architect.”

The word came down fromLittle League Internationalrecently: A moratorium onthe use of most all compositebats in Little League baseballhad gone into effect.

Composite bats — alu-minum wrapped in wovengraphite — generate more

power and allow for fasterbat speeds.

With that added power andspeed come safety concerns.

“Today’s decision of theLittle League InternationalBoard of Directors Execu-tive Committee is based onscientific research data fromthe University of Massachu-setts (Lowell), which wascontracted by Little League

Baseball,” Stephen D. Keener,President and Chief Execu-tive Officer of Little LeagueBaseball and Softball said,announcing the moratorium.

“The maximum perform-ance standard for non-woodbats in the divisions for 12-year-olds and below is a BatPerformance Factor (BPF) of1.15. The research found thatcomposite bats, while theymay meet the standard whennew, can exceed that stan-dard after a break-inprocess.”

Plainville Little LeaguePresident Scott Stroh sup-ports the moratorium.

“Little League has done allthe research,” he said. “Any-thing that helps protect kids;I don’t see how anyone can beagainst that.”

However, Stroh is awarethat players’ parents whospent a lot of money on acomposite bat —in excess of$300 — may not like the tim-ing of the moratorium.

Bill Petit, president ofBerlin Little League, feels forthe parents as well. “Theybuy a bat last year for $250,and now it’s no good. I feelbad for them,” he said. “But ifit’s a safety issue, it’s a safetyissue.”

Petit heard nothing aboutthe moratorium until it wasput in place. “They changewith the wind,” Petit said ofLittle League International.

“And the people making therules never picked up a batin their life.”

From there, he moved toMemphis and worked as Gen-eral Manager for the city’sPyramid Arena. He then tookthe job of Senior Vice-Presi-dent at Bridgestone Arena inNashville. Finally, Simonslanded at Populous, where hehas been the past 16 years.

Simons is now the SeniorPrincipal at Populous, direct-ing the firm’s facility analy-sis and operations group. Si-mons feels his purpose is tobe “the conscience of the ar-chitect.”

Simons grew up a sportsfan, but now admits “thebusiness of sports beats thefan out of you.”

When asked how Connecti-cut sporting facilities ratewith others he has seenthroughout the world, Si-mons spoke highly of EastHartford’s Rentschler Fieldand the University of Con-necticut’s Gampel Pavilion.However, he feels the XL Cen-ter in Hartford “is at the tailend of its useable life.”

getting rid of these bats,” hesaid. “The size difference be-tween a 9-year-old and 12-year-old is a lot, and when abigger kid hits it good, theball explodes off these batsand pitchers and infieldersreally have no time to react tothe ball. Little League will bea much safer environmentwithout them.”

Certain composite batshave received a waiver fromthe moratorium. A list is pro-vided at www.littleleague.org. Softball bats are not in-cluded in the moratorium.

Simons’ family has deeproots in Berlin. His father,cousin and uncle have allserved as fire chief for thetown.

Simons is still in contactwith one of his good Berlinbuddies, Jim McNair. Also,Simons reconnected withmany old friends recently atthe Berlin Fair.

When Simons visits town,he does the “Farmington Av-enue Cruise.” “There’s a sto-

Sacrament of Confirmation.“They stepped up their gameand came out of their com-fort zone,” she said.

Berlin High School juniorConnor Hilbie was one ofthose recommended. “I feltreally honored and excitedfor the retreat and the chal-lenge of leading a bunch ofkids that I’ve known for awhile,” he said.

The retreat theme was“The Road to Emmaus,”based on Luke 24:13-35. Theweek kicked off with theninth grade retreat March 6and ended with the tenthgrade retreat on March 12.The five-hour program in-cluded small group discus-sions, Mass, dinner and Eu-charistic adoration.

“I didn’t really understandwhat the whole idea of a re-treat was,” Hilbie said. “Butafterwards, I realized that theretreat was supposed to belike, down to earth and fun,while still sending a strongmessage.”

Joining Hilbie as assis-tants were BHS juniors: Con-ner Bernard, Sarah Damato,Kelly Josephson, AnthonyLombardo and Rachel Zelek;junior Kyle Powell fromXavier High School in Mid-dletown; senior Lauren Fazz-ino from Mercy High Schoolin Middletown; junior Jack

Fazzino; and senior Alex Ric-ciardi from New Britain HighSchool.

“It was nice to meet newpeople that are out there thathave the same religion,” Pow-ell said. Completing the CUAteam were: Sal Biase, a mediastudies major from Brick,N.J.; Andrew Finley, a philos-ophy/pre-law major fromHorsham, Pa.; Trish Kelly, anelementary education majorfrom Lincroft, N.J.; andSteven Serafin, a theologymajor from Rockway, N.J.

Some of the high schoolleaders were featured in“Hey Let’s Talk,” a video in-vitation to another programthe CUA students presentedthat week. The video can beviewed at a link found atwww.stpaulkensington.org.

In the week between re-treats, Napoli and her CUAclassmates talked to studentsand parents about college lifeduring two separate eveningdiscussions. They also visit-ed students at St. PaulSchool, and bailed out an eld-erly parishioner’s basement.Students also distributedashes during Ash Wednesdayservices and talked to seniorcitizens at the Lenten lunch-eon. “We told them we see alot of youth practicing theirfaith at Catholic University,”Serafin said.
