The September fish kill at Paderewski Pond prompted a forum held at town hall Thursday, Nov. 19, but the gathering extended to many other issues regarding pond maintenance.

Town Manager Robert Lee presided over the meeting, which featured comments from a range of citizens, some of whom live near the pond and many who support it as a town resource.

The first comments came from Lisa Lozier, a member of the Plainville Conservation Commission, who said she’s been cleaning the pond for 28 years. She called for the pro-hibition of fishing due to the number of disposed fishing lines that are left at the pond, along with other refuse.

While many other citizens called for trash cleanup, no one else sought a fishing ban. Jeff Brousseau said, “Fishing is okay. I want the pond to

be recreational.” Brian Bonas said, “I’ve been fishing on the pond for 45 years. Fishermen don’t leave their lines behind, we respect the water.”

Marge Burris, chairwoman of the Plainville Conservation Commission, offered a solu-tion to the problem, saying the commission will put out fishing line containers.

cle,” state Sen. Henri Martin said. “The community rec-ognizes a need and is doing something about it.”

Martin visited Gnazzo’s Nov. 21 and met with mem-bers of the Disciples of Je-sus Christ Ministry at the Plainville United Methodist Church, who supervised the drive and slept in the truck over the weekend.

“We’ll sleep in the truck until you fill it up,” said Jeff Cedarfield, a member of the ministry who has been par-ticipating in the drive for the past 10 years.

Cots stored underneath the truck were placed inside overnight, and that’s where Cedarfield and Danny Fran-ceschini, another member of the ministry, slept alongside the items they collected for the drive.

Residents dropped off packages during the day, which were filled with food and non-food items requested by the group; from cereal,

soup and pasta to toothpaste and bath soap.

The items are weighed, but Cedarfield doesn’t yet know the total pounds collected for this year’s drive.

Gnazzo’s serves as the spot for the Fill the Truck truck to be parked and Cedarfield said the store provided discounts on items the drive sought. “They overstock the items on our list and put them on sale,” he said.

“The food should last until spring, depending on how the winter goes,” Cedarfield said.

Franceschini said the re-cession years of 2008-2009 were the toughest, with do-nations going down. “There’s been an up-tick the past few years and we’re moving back to a time of surplus,” he said. “But we’re not close to being there yet.”

He lauded Plainville for its generosity, in good times and bad. “People in this town know people are in need, so people give more,” he said. “Even giving one can of tuna is a big deal.”

Pond

sible engineered solutions to the fish kill problem: aeration and biological enzymes. Aer-ation gives the water oxygen and circulates pond water and Dupree said certain types of aeration can accommo-date the large pond area. Bi-ological enzymes reduce the bottom sludge in the pond, bring back oxygen and clear up the bacteria and “counter-acts what’s wrong.” She said a company is introducing a new biological enzyme prod-uct and may be interested in testing it on Paderewski Pond.

Many other residents spoke about pond cleanup, includ-ing Eileen Castrogiovanni, a Wheeler school scout leader who said scouts are willing to assist with the effort.

Also attending the meeting were Town Council members and state Rep. Betty Boukus who spoke out in favor of pond preservation. Council chairwoman Katherine Pug-liese said, “Paderewski Pond will not be forgotten. It will be a priority for the council.” Boukus, who is renowned for garnering state funds for town projects, said, “I need direction from the town be-fore I request state aid, but I am dedicated to doing all I can to assist Plainville with the pond.”

State aid could go towards hiring a consultant to study the pond and offer solutions. Lee said he will discuss the idea with the Town Coun-cil before funds are devoted to the pond. Don Mysling, senior fisheries biologist at the Department of Energy and Environmental Protec-tion, who visited the pond after the fish kill and filed a

report, said, “I’m blown away by your interest and all your great ideas. I suggest form-ing a committee to get your ideas together before you hire a consultant.”

Lee collected names of 15 residents who will form a committee to oversee town action on Paderewski Pond. He advises committee mem-

bers to attend the Dec. 9 meeting of the conservation commission and meet with a member of DEEP at the pond to discuss their ideas to im-prove the pond.

“Everyone was happy with the way the forum went,” Lee said. “Now we have people who want to participate in the next step to the solution.”

Record-Journal Co., Citizen have new home

MERIDEN — The Re-cord-Journal newspaper, in all its various iterations, hasn’t moved from its Crown Street home in 110 years. That changed recently, but its his-tory won’t.

“The Record-Journal has been published from 11 Crown St. for 110 years, since 1905,” R-J Publisher Eliot C. White said, though the paper, in some form, has been in ex-istence for 148 years. “It was located in the same general neighborhood for the pre-vious 38 years,” as well, he added.

In those 110 years, the newspaper building was host to visits from dignitaries like President Harry Truman — who, legend has it, stopped in to use the restroom while on a visit to stump for the Dem-ocratic ticket in 1952 — and Janet Leigh, who stopped in during her stay in Meriden as part of the Janet Leigh Film Festival in 2002.

Leigh, born Jeanette Helen Morrison, is a Golden Globe-winning actress best known for her role in the American horror film “Psycho.”

Numerous other politicians have also passed through the Crown Street office in the past century as well.

Former U.S. Sen. Francis T. Maloney, after whom the east side high school is named, worked as a reporter in the building from 1914 to 1921, except for the year between 1917-18, when he served in the U.S. Navy.

The building holds many personal memories for cur-rent and former employees.

“Five generations of my family have spanned the full 110 years,” White said. “I have personally worked in the building since 1979. My first memory was accompanying my father in early 1950s on Sunday mornings to light the lead pots.”

Until roughly the 1960s and ’70s, linotype machines were the industry standard for printing newspapers. The type set machines used gas-fired pots to keep the lead and tin type metal liquefied just

prior to being cast.The newspaper was

printed on premises at 11 Crown St. until February 2009, though the technology to do so evolved from the li-notype machine.

In 2009, the aging press was in need of a costly re-placement, and the ailing economy prompted the de-cision to outsource printing to the Springfield Republican campus in Springfield, Mass.

The R-J, as many know it now, began as The Weekly Visitor in 1867. The weekly newspaper expanded into a daily print newspaper on Jan. 1, 1868, and three months later, evolved into the Meriden Daily Republican.

Soon an evening paper was produced to compete with the Republican — that paper was the Meriden Daily Jour-nal, which first ran in April 1886. It was later known (and perhaps better known now) as simply the Meriden Journal.

In 1887, The Republican Publishing Co. was incorpo-rated, and five years later, in 1892, the Morning Record was launched as another daily paper.

At that point, the Meriden Daily Republican became a weekly newspaper, and even-tually ceased publication altogether.

Between 1903 and 1925, the Morning Record changed names twice, ultimately set-tling on the Meriden Record

in January 1925.In 1949, the Meriden Re-

cord Co. — formerly the Republican Publishing Co. — purchased the Meriden Journal, though it wasn’t until 1977 when the two papers merged, becoming the Morning Record and Journal.

Three years later, the paper changed its name to the now familiar Record-Journal.

There’s only a few busi-nesses still operating in Meriden that are older than the Record-Journal and its ancestor papers. According to information gathered by Jerry Maust, reference librar-ian at the Meriden Public Li-brary, they include the Miller Co., established in 1846; The Russell Hall Co., established in 1854; and Lyon and Billard Lumber Co., established in 1847.

According to Maust’s infor-mation, the Horton Printing Co. also rivals the R-J’s ten-ure in the city; it was estab-lished the same year as The Weekly Visitor.

Only 13 other companies have been in the city for more than 100 years, according to Maust’s information.

In the 148 years since its in-ception, the Record-Journal newspapers haven’t missed a publication. To date, that’s nearly 43,000 straight issues.

“We never missed a pub-lication despite major ob-stacles, including power outages in the 1980s, when

we lost power for 24 straight hours,” White said. The out-age forced newspaper crews to print in Waterbury and work from Middletown.

Extreme weather was also no match for the tenacity to print a daily newspaper.

“We survived over 3 feet of water during the flood in 1992. My parents skied to work during the blizzard of 1978,” White recalled.

Throughout the years, the building changed its look. In the early years, nearly full-length windows studded the sides of the building, then mosaic murals replaced many of them.

“We had five building ex-pansions since 1955 with ma-jor investments in downtown Meriden,” White said. A new press in 1979 and mail room expansions in 1988 “totaled investments of $10 million,” he said.

During this time, a Sunday edition of the newspaper was launched as well. Though it’s generally considered the staple edition of daily print newspapers, publishing the Record-Journal Sunday edi-tion in 1984 was considered risky given the economic cli-mate at the time.

It paid off though. “Starting the Sunday edition...was a ma-

jor growth project that helped secure our future for the next 30 years,” White said.

Among the Record-Jour-nal’s publications are six weekly newspapers, includ-ing The Plainville Citizen.

The City of Meriden pur-chased the R-J building in 2014, adding it to a list of six total downtown proper-ties the city expects to turn over to developers for a mix of housing and retail build-ings. A lease agreement with the city enabled the publish-ing company to occupy the space until this December, though the business opened in its new location at 500 S. Broad St. on Oct. 12.

“The move... will mark the end of an era,” White said. “We will now begin a new chapter of our business with 90 employees in a new mod-ern workplace ... and 40 em-ployees at our sister company (The Westerly Sun) in West-erly, R.I.”

White said the company’s mission will continue to focus on “providing local news and advertising solutions to our local communities, including exciting new products” such as a new advertising platform, White said. “Our business has evolved,” he said, “but the mission continues.”

Martin opposes Malloy’s stance on Syrian refugees

On Nov. 16 Gov. Dannel Malloy an-nounced Connecticut will continue to accept Syrian refugees, but governors from 29 states have urged President Obama to halt the Syrian refugee pro-gram due to security concerns after the terrorist attacks in Paris on Nov. 13.

State Sen. Henri Martin opposed

Malloy’s stance, claiming, “We feel the recent decision by Gov. Dannel Malloy to allow refugees from Syria into Connecticut, while well inten-tioned, could potentially threaten the security of our residents.”

In an email message from Martin that was co-written by state repre-sentatives Cara Pavalock and Whit Betts, Martin said, “We must be on heightened alert and give extra scru-tiny to refugees coming into the

United States. Until we have more answers, we must proceed with ex-treme caution.”

Martin asked a series of questions about incoming refugees, including “Do we have assurances that exten-sive background checks will be con-ducted?” and “Where will they live?”

Devon Puglia, the governor’s di-rector of communications, said, “We await guidance from the appropriate federal agencies on screening mea-

sures. With that said, if refugees seek and are granted asylum after a rigor-ous screening process, we should and will welcome them in Connecticut.”

A Syrian refugee family due to ar-rive in the U.S. on Nov. 19 was di-verted from Indiana after Gov. Mike Pence banned refugees from entering the state and was expected to come to New Haven, where the Integrated Refugee and Immigrant Services or-ganization has agreed to take them.

School desegregation: From magnets to suburbs?

Dereck Torres would have happily enrolled in a regular high school in one of Hart-ford’s neighboring suburbs, but he didn’t have that choice.

In the school-choice lot-tery, he won a seat in a new state-of-the-art magnet school.

That magnet school — Medical Professions and Teacher Preparation Acad-emy — cost the state $61 mil-lion to build and requires about $10 million to operate each year.

As Connecticut spends billions to build and run 42 racially integrated magnet schools in an effort to meet a court desegregation or-der, the state has failed to substantially grow a far less expensive alternative by en-rolling city students in subur-ban schools.

Nearly 20,000 city and sub-urban students this year are attending integrated magnet schools in the capital region while just 2,150 students have desks in suburban schools through the Open Choice program.

Well aware of the expense, state officials last month proclaimed the state would not open any new magnet schools, even through half of Hartford’s students still attend segregated schools where more than 75 percent of the students are minorities.

“We are not going to be building any more,” Ralph

Urban, assistant attorney general, told a Hartford Supe-rior Court judge last month. “We are growing the Open Choice program, and that will continue to grow.”

Some are having a hard time believing that, given the program’s history of enroll-ing a small number of stu-dents — one in 40 students in suburban schools are from Hartford — and state officials’ record of rejecting propos-als that would sizably boost participation.

“The numbers are grossly inadequate. Open Choice isn’t working,” said Bruce Douglas, the executive direc-tor of the Capitol Region Ed-ucation Council, the school district responsible for run-ning Open Choice and sev-eral magnet schools. “We are spending money wildly on magnet schools. If we had spent that money on Open Choice instead, we would be further ahead than we are now.”

Statewide, Connecticut is slated to spend $325 million to operate regional magnet schools this year compared to $43 million on Open Choice. In the Hartford region about $200 million will be spent to operate magnet schools and $30 million on Open Choice. It costs the state $12,220 for each city student enrolled in a magnet school.

Additionally the state has spent more than $1.4 billion to build and renovate mag-net schools in an effort to attract suburban white stu-

dents to schools with Hart-ford children.

A trickle of growth

Every January, the state education commissioner writes local superinten-dents and asks them to enroll more minority students from Hartford.

And every year, superin-tendents enroll far fewer stu-dents than they were asked to.

Simbury was asked to en-roll 20 more Open Choice students this school year, but Simsbury officials elected to enroll the same number. Of the 26 districts eligible to par-ticipate in the program, seven districts decreased the num-ber of city students and three districts enrolled the same number this school year.

“We work hard to help it go up every year,” said Glen Peterson, the director of the State Department of Educa-tion’s Regional School Choice Office. “You set your expec-tations high, and then you try and get them. We ask for more than we think we will get.”

It’s been nearly 20 years since the Connecticut Su-preme Court ruled in the Sheff vs. O’Neill case that “students in Hartford suffer daily from the devastating effects that racial and ethnic isolation, as well as poverty, have on their education.”

Still under court oversight, the state year after year falls short of its promises to sub-

stantially grow Open Choice.In the most recent

court-sanctioned agreement, Connecticut Attorney Gen-eral George Jepsen agreed to the “target” of adding 325 seats for city students this school year in the nearby suburban districts, which ed-ucate 82,300 students.

However, participation in Open Choice increased by 133 students, CREC reports.

This trickle of children winning coveted spots in communities that include Avon, West Hartford and Glastonbury comes as the school-age population in all of the participating suburban districts has declined, on av-erage by 7 percent.

Over the last eight school years, suburban districts that participate in Open Choice have enrolled an additional 1,019 Hartford students while overall enrollment in those districts declined by 7,715 students. Districts that do not participate in Open Choice because more than half their students are already minori-ties include Bloomfield, East Hartford, Manchester and Windsor.

Instead of filling the empty desks with additional city students, several districts have moved to lay off teach-ers instead.

“They made a local deci-

sion. We thought maybe en-rollment decline would be an opportunity to increase Open Choice, but it’s not necessar-ily so,” said Peterson. “I had a meeting with a superinten-dent, and the issue was they just finished their budget pro-posal and were eliminating 12 teaching jobs because the en-rollment was decreasing, and therefore their class sizes were going up. He therefore had less room to take Open Choice kids than he would have previously because of the nature of the enrollment and the financial situation in the district. “

Why aren’t districts participating more?

The shop classes at Pla-inville High School were recently revitalized so in-struction could focus more on engineering, technology and math.

The new equipment — in-cluding a 3-D printer, robots and a textile machine — was not cheap.

So when the state of-fered the district $50,000 if it increased the number of children from Hartford it en-rolls, local officials seized the opportunity.

“Those changes wouldn’t have happened without that grant,” said Jeffrey Kitching, the district’s superintendent.

Districts lined up again for another round of fund-ing to cover construction or instructional materials in ex-change for expanding enroll-ment this school year.

And then shortly before the start of the school year, dis-tricts were told that the fund-ing stream was severed.

“It was unfortunate,” said Kitching, whose district had planned to purchase equip-ment to overhaul its middle school engineering and tech-nology instruction.

The elimination of this grant and state rejection of other efforts to entice subur-ban participation worry the attorney who represents the parents that successfully sued the state.

“The state is staring in the face of a cost-affective rem-edy, and their approach has been dismal. They can’t say,

‘We don’t want any more mag-nets, and we don’t want sub-stantially more Open Choice seats,’” said Martha Stone, an attorney for the parents and the executive director of the Center for Children’s Advo-cacy. “They’re depriving our kids of an adequate educa-tional opportunity.”

Douglas agrees.“If they keep saying ‘no’

to everything, then what’s their plan? The low partici-pation, it’s strong evidence of a lack of a strategic plan,” said Douglas, who is retiring in December from CREC.

State leaders contend the incentives are robust enough to lure suburban districts to enroll more minority chil-dren from Hartford.

There are three main grants districts receive each year from the state for Open Choice students.

The first is the Open

Choice grant, which gives districts between $4,000 and $8,000 per city student, de-pending on how many enroll.

The second is the Edu-cation Cost Sharing grant, which is the state’s primary education grant for all dis-tricts, regardless of partic-ipation in Open Choice. A district receives half of its per-student grant for each Open Choice student it en-rolls. For Granby, that’s about $1,400 per city student. For West Hartford, it’s $900.

The third grant provides between $575 and $900 per student for added academic supports, such as tutoring. If a district’s enrollment of city students tops 2 percent, the district will get an addi-tional $50,000 a year for these purposes.

The state reports that all

these grants mean districts with high participation lev-

els get more than $10,000 per student.

“Obviously, that’s a big in-centive,” said Peterson. “It’s

certainly approaching, if not greater than, a district’s aver-age per-pupil cost.”

“What town wouldn’t go

for that?” asked Douglas during an interview, pointing out that separate funding also pays for transportation and special education costs.

Participation numbers sug-gest the incentives aren’t at-tractive enough. One-third of the suburban districts enroll fewer than 2 percent of their students from Hartford.

Kitching — whose district enrolls more city students than nearly every other at 5.3 percent — said that districts have different pressures to consider.

“If you only look at the fi-nancial piece, you miss the boat,” he said. “It’s com-pletely reliant on the context of the district.”

Got suggestions?

For example, Rocky Hill needed a new middle school and saw an opportunity as the state moved forward with a new state-of-the-art magnet school in town, to be oper-ated by CREC.

Rocky Hill school and town

officials proposed building their new middle school on the same site as the magnet school and sharing common spaces, such as a cafeteria, gym and computer labs.

The state typically reim-burses Rocky Hill 37 percent of construction costs. District leaders and the Rocky Hill legislative delegation were asking the state to boost that rate to at least 80 percent, a move that would cost the state $11.6 million more.

In exchange, Rocky Hill promised to enroll 150 more Open Choice students.

The legislature didn’t take them up on the offer, and voted to cover just half the costs for their new middle school. Meanwhile, state leg-islators voted to spend $49.3 million to build another re-gional magnet school, the Aerospace E lementary School, in Rocky Hill.

“It was disappointing,” said state Sen. Paul Doyle, D-Rocky Hill. “There is a de-

sire to help with the goals of Sheff … This was quite a unique solution.”

Officials at the State De-partment of Education de-clined to say whether they supported the project.

“We are always open to having discussions about how communities can ex-pand their participation in Open Choice. Deliberations of any proposal that extends beyond the multitude of ex-isting incentives must factor in many additional consid-erations that extend beyond the specifics of the proposal, such as current existing space in the district to expand Open Choice seats, projected growth in the district, among many others.

“Given the complexity of the analysis required, such conversations often remain ongoing,” spokeswoman Abbe Smith wrote in a state-ment responding to ques-tions about the department’s position on the Rocky Hill proposal.

PETS OF THE WEEK

Salvador, Pablo and Georgia are adorable kittens that were found when they were just two days old. It is very difficult for kittens to survive if they have not nursed for a few days. With round the clock care, they are now eight weeks old and very active with exuberant, trusting and loving personalities. Bottle feeding kittens is expensive. Help defray the cost by participating in the bake sale Saturday, Dec. 12, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., at Newington United Methodist Church, 401 New Britain Ave. For more information, call 860-828-5287 or email [email protected].

Connecticut Better Busi-ness Bureau urges consum-ers to be aware that fraud and crimes of contact spike during the holiday shop-ping season. Cyber criminals and common thieves know that shoppers are distracted, rushed or easy to catch off guard in stores and on scam websites that pepper the Internet.

Online shopping is also a huge revenue source for cy-ber criminals at this time of year, because consumers spend so much time look-ing for the best gifts at the lowest price. Unfortunately, cyber criminals set up web-sites and pose as legitimate, cut-rate retailers, but have no intention of shipping any merchandise after accepting payment.

Connecticut BBB offers the following tips to protect yourself from becoming a victim of holiday shopping crime:

Research the website - Some unfamiliar shopping sites offer electronics or lux-ury goods with unrealistically low prices. Check out web-sites at bbb.org/connecticut to see if they are legitimate, and always use a secure form of payment such as a credit card or trusted online pay-ment system.

Be selective about where you shop - If a store is out of stock, many consumers hop

online to get those “must have” items. The issue is where you buy.

Online classified ad sites carry greater risks than the Internet because private transactions do not guaran-tee any protection if there is a dispute or the merchandise never arrives.

Look for the “S” – When it’s time to enter payment in-formation, legitimate web-sites’ addresses begin with “HTTPS.” The “S” stands for secure and is typically accom-panied by an icon – usually a padlock – to indicate that the seller is legitimate and taking necessary security measures to protect your credit card and other information.

Beware of unsolicited phishing emails and texts - Phishing is an attack that lures you into clicking a link or opening an attachment, either of which can compro-mise your personal informa-tion and expose virtually all of your accounts, logins and passwords.

The common phishing ve-hicles at this time of year include infected eGreeting cards or fake delivery notices that look like they come from delivery companies.

Instead of clicking on a link, determine the legitimacy of a delivery service notice by calling to confirm whether the notice is genuine.

Tips to avoid shopping fraud

Help from Operation FuelNon-profit Operation Fuel and

its statewide network of fuel banks are accepting applications for en-ergy assistance from Connecticut households struggling to pay their heating bills.

Energy affordability is a year-round problem for nearly 305,000 Connecticut households. During the winter, Operation Fuel’s emer-gency energy assistance program helps households that heat with all energy sources and focuses on families and individuals who have nowhere else to turn. Hardship

households that heat with gas or electricity can be protected from utility shutoffs from Nov. 1 through May 1 if they apply to their utility provider – and are approved – for winter shutoff protection. There isn’t similar protection, however, for homes that heat with oil and other deliverable fuels.

Operation Fuel needs donations throughout the year and, on Tues-day, Dec. 1, plan to participate in the fourth annual #GivingTues-day, a worldwide event that kicks off the charitable giving season.

For more information on Opera-tion Fuel or to make a donation, visit www.operationfuel.org. Do-nations may be sent to Operation Fuel, 75 Charter Oak Ave., Suite 2-240, Hartford, CT 06106.

Operation Fuel is a private, non-profit program that provides emer-gency energy assistance year-round through its statewide network of fuel banks to lower-income working families and individuals, the elderly, and disabled individuals who are in financial crisis. Anyone who needs energy assistance should call 211.

Nina and Jacob Kazimierczak have scheduled a hat and glove drive for citi-zens in need. Donation boxes are located at the Plainville Town Hall, Plainville Li-brary, and Farmington Bank at both 117 East St. and 129 New Britain Ave. through Saturday, Dec. 19. Donations will be do-nated to area shelters.

For more information, call 860-883-2456 or email [email protected].

ilies make smart money choices to improve their per-sonal finance.
