Gov. Ned Lamont combats elder fraud at Elim

By Kate Ramunni Record-Journal staff

It happens all the time a senior citizen is bilked out of money by a scam perpetrated by a stranger or family member.

Gov. Ned Lamont is hoping that is going to become less common after he signed legislation last week giving banks the ability to put a hold on suspicious transactions that can be fraudulent. Thursday, Aug. 3, before a crowd of seniors at retirement com-

Park

munity Elim Park, Lamont signed “An Act Concerning Financial Exploitation of Senior Citizens.”

The new law allows financial institutions to temporarily suspend transactions if they are deemed suspicious of financial exploitation, which is defined as “taking advantage of an eligible adult by another person or caretaker for monetary personal, or other benefit, gain or profit.”

Aqua Turf. But the golf tournament is only one of the foundation’s annual fundraising efforts.

Dedicated to honoring the enduring spirit of Ryan Lee, the non-profit actively seeks out opportunities to make a difference in the lives of others.

Lee died in 2009 from injuries suffered when he was hit by a car in Brooklyn near his college, Long Island University.

Lee was a star golfer and basketball player at Berlin High School, and continued his golf career at LIU.

What Parents Need to Know About Marijuana Use and Teens

Fast Facts

•38% of high school students report having used marijuana in their life.1

Negative effects on school and social life

Marijuana use in adolescence or early adulthood can have a serious impact on a teen’s life.

•Research shows that marijuana use can have permanent effects on the developing brain when use begins in adolescence, especially with regular or heavy use.2

•Frequent or long-term marijuana use is linked to school dropout and lower educational achievement.3

The teen years are a time of rapid growth, exploration, and onset of risk taking. Taking risks with new behaviors provides kids and teens the opportunity to test their skills and abilities and discover who they are. But, some risk behaviors—such as using marijuana—can have harmful and long-lasting effects on a teen’s health and well-being.

Marijuana and the teen brain

Unlike adults, the teen brain is actively developing and often will not be fully developed until the mid 20s. Marijuana use during this period may harm the developing teen brain.

Negative effects include:

• Difficulty thinking and problem solving.

• Problems with memory and learning.

• Impaired coordination.

• Difficulty maintaining attention.3

• Decline in school performance. Students who smoke marijuana may get lower grades and may more likely to drop out of high school than their peers who do not use. 4

•Increased risk of mental health issues. Marijuana use has been linked to a range of mental health problems in teens such as depression or anxiety.5 Psychosis has also been seen in teens at higher risk like those with a family history.6

• Impaired driving. Driving while impaired by any substance, including marijuana, is dangerous. Marijuana negatively affects a number of skills required for safe driving, such as reaction time, coordination, and concentration.7, 8

•Potential for addiction.a Research shows that about 1 in 6 teens who repeatedly use marijuana can become addicted, which means that they may make unsuccessful efforts to quit using marijuana or may give up important activities with friends and family in favor of using marijuana.

Fraud

From A1

Under the law, which takes effect July 1, 2024, banks and credit unions can take action to hold transactions for 45 days that they suspect may be fraudulent, and are encouraged to watch for such transactions by the promise of immunity from financial liability for denying the transaction.

“A lot of folks are looking out for you and taking care of you,” Lamont told the seniors.

“This doesn’t take away your independence,” said state Department of Aging and Disability Services Commissioner Amy Porter. “This is giving you the tools to fight the fraud.” Those committing the fraud “are getting smarter every day and this strengthens the response to fraud.”

Gov. Ned Lamont speaks at Elim Park on Thursday, Aug. 3. Lamont visited the not-for-profit continuing care retirement community for a ceremonial signing of a bill to help protect seniorsfromfinancialexploitation.

Everyone has been touched by fraud, Lamont said, in cluding his mother-in-law, who he said was asked to make a donation to a chari ty. That one-time donation turned into a monthly gift without her knowledge, he said.

The state also isn’t immune to fraud, he said, noting that it has found $3.8 million worth of unemployment fraud which it was able to end.

“You now have banks looking out for you,” he told the seniors, and added that having a person they trust involved in the effort is invalu-

something about it,” she said.

Studies have found that more than 8.68 million incidents of elder fraud occur every year with an average loss per case of $20,015, according to the governor’s office. In all 50 states, losses due to elder fraud total $113.7 billion each year.

Ryan Lee is survived by his father Dan, his mother Teresa and his sister Amanda. Dan Lee is a teacher and coach at Cheshire High School. “We ran the golf tournament that first year because his friends John McNair and Tim Cote refused not to,” Dan Lee said before the start of the 13th Annual Ryan Lee Golf Classic, held Friday, Aug. 4. “Then we had to figure out what we really wanted this thing to be. What did we want the foundation to be. We asked [board member] Jim McNair to get involved because he was the president of the Boys Club and other organizations and knew how to build a nonprofit. Then we had to decide who we were going to give the money to and what our mission was going to be. None of that was easy. And the whole time, we were still grieving Ryan’s loss. But I can say, for me, it was helpful because it gave me and our family purpose and something to look forward to.”

The foundation’s board of directors is made up of Dan Lee, Jim McNair, Rob

Josephson, Mike Rugens, John McNair, Tim Cote and Mark DiLoreto, and each brings a different skill set to the table.

“I got on board a few years ago because I’m retired and thought it was a great way to help out,” DiLoreto said. “I now feel like I am part of a family here. I have a whole new group of family members and what they do daily is nothing short of a miracle.”

Here are some examples of the foundation’s work:

On or near Ryan’s birthday in July, a parade of volunteers come together to hold a food drive to re-stock the Berlin Food Pantry. July and August are two of the toughest months for the pantry, so the timing of the drive is perfect. However, the weather could not have been much worse for this year’s drive, held on July 16. Heavy rain led to local road closures, and the foundation feared the drive may be a bust.

“Today we looked at the forecast and saw tornado predictions and flood warnings, I thought we were going to be letting down the people that rely on us in town. I thought we would be

letting down Ryan,” the foundation stated in a social media post. “From 7 a.m. to 6:30 p.m., you, the community, drove through detour to detour in torrential rain to drive your car along curbside to drop off money, to get out of your car and get soaked just to give a hug … If the numbers are the gauge

of today’s success, then yes, I think we were successful –$2,495 in gift cards and a trailer full of nonperishable food. But what if the numbers aren’t the gauge of our success. What if Ryan was looking down and saw one act of kindness. What if he saw his friends all grown up now. What if he saw them

bring their babies to show their support Berlin, you did good today. I think we did him proud. I think we succeeded.”

There are also Ryan T. Lee scholarships, which are awarded to members of the Berlin High School basketball and golf teams upon graduation.

The foundation also sponsors an annual blood drive. Ryan was an organ donor and eight people were able

to live on because of his selflessness. The Lee family was able to meet all eight of the recipients a few years ago. Dan Lee said it was one of the most emotional days of his life. “We got to hear Ryan’s heart and see all these families,” he said. “They didn’t have to do it, but they all agreed, and we met them. Some of them were able to grow up and go to college. Some were able to start a family. All of this

because of Ryan. It was extremely emotional not just for us but for them as well.”

For the Christmas holiday, the foundation “adopts” a number of children who would otherwise have few, if any, gifts to open. This effort has been dubbed the Ryan T. Lee Holiday Giving Tree. Last year, the foundation adopted 52 families in Berlin.

The foundation also runs the Ryan T. Lee Memorial Collegiate golf tournament, which draws some of the top Division I golf programs on the east coast to Shuttle Meadow Country Club in Berlin for a three-day event. It has been 13 years since Ryan Lee passed away, and in that time, his foundation has made a difference in the lives of countless people.

Dan Lee believes the foundation will go over the $600,000 mark of charitable giving this year.

Ryan’s catch phrase, which adorns most of the foundation swag, is “Proud of Ya.” That number is surely something to be proud of.

Tucker of Cheshire, Connecticut, passed away Sunday, July 30, 2023, at his home surrounded by his family. He was 95 years old and was the loving husband of Carolyn (Davison) Tucker, who passed away at the age of 89 in January of this year. He was known as Edwin to his many business associates and Marshall to friends and family. Marshall was born in 1927 in Hartford, Connecticut, to Edwin Woodford and Gertrude (Marshall) Tucker. He grew up in New Haven, Connecticut, and graduated from Tabor Academy in Marion, Massachusetts, in 1946. He then volunteered for the U.S. Army and served with the occupation forces in Japan. After discharge in 1948, he attended Champlain College in Plattsburgh, New York, and then the University of Connecticut, graduating in 1952.

At the bank he was known as Edwin or Ed, which sometimes caused confusion at home. On June 28, 1958, Marshall was married to Carolyn Clark Davison, a teacher, whom he had met on a blind date in September the year before. After the wedding they settled in Cheshire, where they remained for the rest of their lives. They had been married for 64 years when she passed in January.

CHESHIREEdwin Marshall Tucker of Cheshire, Connecticut, passed away Sunday, July 30, 2023, at his home surrounded by his family. He was 95 years old and was the loving husband of Carolyn (Davison) Tucker, who passed away at the age of 89 in January of this year. He was known as Edwin to his many business associates and Marshall to friends and family. Marshall was born in 1927 in Hartford, Connecticut, to Edwin Woodford and Gertrude (Marshall) Tucker. He grew up in New Haven, Connecticut, and graduated from Tabor Academy in Marion, Massachusetts, in 1946. He then volunteered for the U.S. Army and served with the occupation forces in Japan. After discharge in 1948, he attended Champlain College in Plattsburgh, New York, and then the University of Connecticut, graduating in 1952. Marshall worked at First New Haven National Bank (First Bank) from 1952 until he retired 40 years later, as an Assistant Vice President in the Trust Department of Bank of America, which had absorbed First Bank after a series of mergers. At the bank he was known as Edwin or Ed, which sometimes caused confusion at home. On June 28, 1958, Marshall was married to Carolyn Clark Davison, a teacher, whom he had met on a blind date in September
