CANDIDATE COMMENTARY

Leadership requires compromise McNair

While going door to door this campaign season, I have been asked repeatedly why I am running for state representative. Given the current state of politics antagonistic at best, a contact sport at its worst voters in Berlin and Southington want to know: “Why would you re-enter the fray? Are you Jokingly,crazy?”

I care that our very system of democracy is being threatened to its core and want to work to ensure our voting process is free, open and accessible to all.

Ad dressing the state of our trees is critically important to ensuring safe, reliable electric service for our cus tomers, and we’re commit ted to collaboration with our communities and property owners as the changing cli mate drives more extreme drought conditions that weaken trees and threaten Eversourcereliability.”

The medical director said the risk of dying by suicide is “greatly increased” for those with access to legal means. “In the United States, the states that have fewer gun laws and greater gun owner ship per citizen, have the highest rates of death by sui cide,” Allen said. Nationally, over 50% of sui cide deaths occur by fire arms; in Connecticut that number is 30%, Allen added. He noted once someone thinking about committing suicide has a gun, the person has less time to reconsider and less room for error.

Dr. Ahmed is an interventional cardiologist. He has specialized training in catheter-based procedures and interventions for heart disease and conditions affecting the heart and surrounding blood vessels. He also provides routine cardiology care to manage risk factors and improve overall heart health.

Crisis as a trigger According to Allen, suicide is one of the main topics ad dressed in the behavioral health practice. In the U.S. suicides have increased by nearly 40% between 2000 and 2018, Allen said. He not ed that in Connecticut, more people die from suicides than in homicides and car accidents. “It is a very signif icant public health issue,” he Also,said. there is a trend associ ated to a decrease in sui cides after a national crisis “ocurs.Butwhat’s often seen is that after the crisis is over, the residual damage to the social infrastructure, the psychological infrastructure, even the healthcare infras tructure, creates a rebound and a higher rate of mental health issues including sui cide after those crisis have leveled off or been resolved,” Allen said.

The American Foundation for Suicide Prevention re ported that in 2020, suicide was the 15th leading cause of death in Connecticut and the third leading cause of death for people age 10 to 24. According to the organi zation the number of people who died from a suicide in Connecticut in 2020 was 364. Allen said connecticut ranked 45th as a state in terms of suicide deaths. “It’s good to be low, but it’s tragic whenever anyone dies of suicide,” Allen stressed. Prevention tips Suicidal risk factors can be found in individuals who are talking about dying, who are having a dramatic change in the way they behave, be coming socially isolated, in creasing their use of sub stances and becoming more introverted, Allen said.

Tips to reduce bird strikes

Reducing light pollution key to assisting migratory birds

“The EPA has reported that 90 percent of lighting use in the U.S. today is not need ed,” Meredith Barges said. “This means that we need to rethink our relationship to lighting, especially given the outsized threats to wildlife, human health and the envi Thereronment.”are148 species of birds that breed in or mi grate through Connecticut,

By Joy SpecialVanderLektoTheCitizen

Each year, nearly 1 billion birds are killed flying into Thatwindows.startling statistic comes from the Audubon Society’s Project Safe Flight initiative, one of many bird strike tracking programs helping to raise public awareness and create steps to minimize such bird deaths. Getting the word out on a lo cal and regional level is Lights Out CT. The group’s co-chairs are Meredith Barges, Yale Divinity School (Class of 2023), a student re searcher with the Yale BirdFriendly Building Initiative; and Craig Repasz, who is af filiated with the New Haven Bird Club and the Connecti cut Ornithological Associa Intion.addition to habitat de struction and fragmentation, lighting is a major contribu tor to bird deaths. “Birds are migrating on routes that are millions of years old,” said Repasz. “They evolved migrating in darkness. It was only the light of the stars and moon they would use to navigate, as well as barometric pres sure and the earth’s magnet ic field. So we build cities right underneath them and the light confuses them.” What ends up happening, for example, is that birds waste energy flying in a cir cle around a large, lit-up building. With their energy depleted, they may then crash in that urban setting.

CUMBERLAND, R.I.JoAnne Mildred (Williams) Jones, formerly of Berlin, CT, ended her journey on Earth and was met in Heaven by her loving husband of 60 years, Arthur William Jones, Jr., on August 20, 2022 at the age of JoAnne89. was born in Chicago on November 29, 1932, the second of three daughters of David and Mildred (Smutzer) Williams. After graduating from East Hartford High School, JoAnne was employed at CL&P until she and Art married in 1954 and settled in Berlin, where they raised their family. JoAnne was a fun, kind, nurturing, and supportive mother, aunt, and grandmother whose life revolved around her family. She created a welcoming home filled with laughter and love, enjoyed decorating for every holiday, and made every birthday special. Her patience was without end. She was a light-hearted, selfless caregiver and rarely had an unkind word for anyone. JoAnne had a soft spot for animals of all types and her home was seldom without pets or caring for strays. She was a long-time member of the Berlin Congregational Church and she and Art sang in the choir for many years. As her children grew, she worked for several years as the children’s librarian at the Berlin Free Library, and in retirement she and Art enjoyed travel and a second home in Florida, until his passing in 2013. In her final years JoAnne made her home with and was lovingly cared for by her daughter Kim and sonin-law Witold Kloczkowski in Cumberland, R.I. JoAnne will be dearly missed by her five children and their spouses Karen (Hal) Oaks of Salem, Arthur William III (Betty) Jones of Tolland, Kimberly (Witold) Kloczkowski of Cumberland, R.I., Sharon (David) Kromas of Rocky Hill, and David (Amy) Jones of Berlin; her grandchildren Troy, Tyler, and Travis Saucier, Arthur William IV and Steven Jones, Keith and Sean Kloczkowski, Nicole and Ryan Chamberland, Morgan Jones, Alysa Cooper, Nanette Dieterle, Sara Mertz, Jen Land, Shannon Duerr, Paige Purvis, several greatgrandchildren, and many nieces and nephews. She also leaves her beloved sister Joyce (Ray) Paradise, sister-in-law Irene Jones all of Newington, and a dear friend, Marion “Pinch” Trudelle. She was pre-deceased by her husband Arthur W. Jones, Jr., her sister and brotherin-law Kathleen and Josef Horacek, and her son-inlaw, Craig Chamberland. A celebration of JoAnne’s life will be held on Saturday, September 10, 2022 at 1:00 p.m. at the Berlin Congregational Church, 878 Worthington Ridge, Berlin. There are no calling hours and burial will be at a later date. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to the Berlin Congregational Church.

#StopSui cide! Adrienne Serra, Wallingford From

I have personally lost loved ones, a boyfriend serving in the military, and a family member who had been diag nosed with bipolar disorder. Sadly, in addition, I also have a family member who had at tempted to die by suicide, as well as a family member who experienced pervasive ha rassment based on disability within the school setting, and also considered ending their Thelife. 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline must be sustainably funded so that confidential, voluntary services by trained counselors are accessible. H.R.7116, the 988 Implemen tation Act, would provide federal funding and guidance to states for 988 crisis ser vices across the nation.

cial groups, problem solv ing and coping skills, in volvement in various ac tivities such as sports, volunteering initiatives and living life with pur pose and meaning. Art Mongillo, Public In formation Officer at the State Department of Men tal Health and Addiction Services, explained it is important to look for signs, for example, people threatening to hurt them selves and those seeking access to pills or weapons. Mongillo sug gests busy parents to stay connected and to have a conversation about suicide with their children. Know ing what is happening in their life, relationships, school life and anything that could be causing them stress, can help par ents keep an eye on red flags. If an individual has suspicions about another person wanting to commit suicide but the person de nies their intentions, Mongillo said speaking to a professional about it can “help.Don’t wait until it be comes a bigger issue,” Mongillo said.

An alternative to 911 for mental health crises, 988 connects callers to Lifeline centers. These centers de-es calate 98% of crisis calls without dispatching emer gency services. Well-re sourced crisis support sys tems can connect callers with local resources, includ ing someone to talk to (call centers), someone to re spond (mobile crisis teams), and somewhere to go (crisis stabilization centers). We must ensure that every state has the capacity to pro vide comprehensive crisis response services to help save lives.

UConn Associate Extension Professor of Forestry Thomas Worthley says most trees can with stand occasional drought conditions like Connecticut is experiencing, but repeated droughty seasons can be highly stressful for trees. “Current circumstances can result in the loss of trees that are already under stress for other reasons, such as insect infestations, diseases, over crowding, past storm dam age and location factors like already very dry sites,” said “Worthley.Droughtcan also exacer bate some of these stresses. Some trees may enter dor mancy earlier, exhibiting early foliage color change. In general, most trees will pro duce smaller growth rings during drought conditions, thus sequestering less car bon from the atmosphere than in ‘normal’ years. Some loss of limbs or branches might also be expected, pre senting potential hazard sit Eversourceuations.” reminds cus tomers that maintaining veg etation and trees is a shared responsibility between utili ties, communities and prop erty owners. The energy company encourages cus tomers to work with them and give permission when needed to trim or remove trees that are in danger of coming down and could possibly cause power out Customersages. should also check trees on their property for signs of stress, which may include thinning of the crown, loss of foliage and the presence of mushrooms near the base of the tree and call a licensed arborist to as sess the situation.

The energy company regu larly performs maintenance work to clear branches, trees and other vegetation that cause outages or are public safety concerns and works with property owners to help them understand their re sponsibility to maintain their own trees, including keeping branches away from the low er-voltage service wires con necting their homes and businesses to the main utili ty lines on the street.

While blue jays are in the state yearround, some may migrate to Virginia or Pennsylvania to spend the winter, Repasz Rightsaid. now, Lights Out CT aims to educate people on what they can do to mini mize bird window strikes during the fall migration pe riod which runs through October. The next critical period is the spring migra tion which begins April 15. A 2019 Science Journal arti cle found one out of four birds have been lost since the 1970s and that many North American birds are facing serious conservation Repaszthreats.said another study determined that shut ting off lights in 50 percent of a building has a measur able effect on decreasing bird fatalities. He added that bird fatalities also come from them hitting home windows at a second- and third-story level. To make those windows visible to birds, the American Bird Conservancy counsels homeowners to paint them, or use decals or other spe cialty products. For reporting and tracking bird-window collisions, Barges recommends the website iNaturalist.org. The “Yale and New Haven BirdWindow Collisions” section in iNaturalist details sight ings within the city of New Haven and greater New Haven County made by community members and others. Birds cited in the da ta include northern parula, black and white warbler and white-throated sparrow, and strikes have been re ported for at least two dozen birds of each species.
