Eligible vaccine seekers scramble

Ski venues offer fun off the slopes By Francesca Fontánez Special to Record-Journal

Glistening slopes aren’t the only draw of the two Central Connecticut ski areas. While both feature some incredible ski and snowboard trails, there’s much more to enjoy.

By Mary Ellen Godin Record-Journal staff

Tech-savvy baby boomers faced crashed websites and clogged phone lines Monday when the state opened up COVID-19 vaccine eligibility to about 650,000 people.

Powder Ridge Mountain Park and Resort located in Middlefield, offeres a wide array of dining options for guests to enjoy. The “don’t miss this” feature is definitely the outdoor dining igloo experience at The Fire at the Ridge. The staff will work with your pod for maximum comfort during the visit. During my family’s visit, our server remained outside our igloo and passed our meals in through the flap to maintain social distance. An order of tableside s’mores, complete with personal fire, provided a unique ending to the meal.

As the state’s vaccination program continues to expand, those over 55 who have become newly eligible may not be able to make appointments immediately due to limited supplies, said Gov. Ned Lamont. Fire at the Ridge igloos.

Teachers and child care workers are also included in the group eligible for inoculation, and state health providers have put an emphasis on vaccinating people in underserved communities. State and local officials have notified residents they will not be able to cover the age group due to a shortage in vaccines. In Meriden, the Department of Health and Human Services receives about 300 doses weekly. In Wallingford, the Health Department receives between 100 and 200 doses a week See Vaccine, A3

Fasano looks back on his career in public service By Nadya Korytnikova Record-Journal staff

In January, Len Fasano officially left his role as a senator of the 34th District, a job he held for 17 years. The 61-year-old Republican law-

maker said he knew “in his heart and soul” it was time for him to retire and give someone else a shot. “I think I probably would have been successful in the elections to come, but I feel like you have to do this job at 110 percent and

if you can’t, then you need to step down and let someone else do it,” said Fasano. Fasano was first elected to the state senate in 2003. He said he is proud of the work he has done for Connecticut and the 34th District, which encompass-

es East Haven, North Haven, Wallingford, and Durham. The things he was able to accomplish during his tenure include legislation that benefited veterans, helping block BroadSee Fasano, A2

with a waitlist of 1,600 people that are over age 65.

People over age 55 took to social media Monday to vent their frustrations over scheduling vaccine appointments.

Special outreach for underserved populations began recently in anticipation of the vaccine reaching more people. Representatives of the Spanish Community of Wallingford want the Latino community to be well informed about COVID-19 risks and access to the vaccines. “They don’t know what to believe, we’re hoping to calm their fears and educate them in order to make factual decisions so they can share the information with their friends,” said assistant Executive Director Lizandra Mejias-Salinas during a Q&A session with SCOW members and local offi-

“I really feel it’s like the lottery,” Cate Caron-Nevin of Meriden said. “I registered my husband through VAMS (Vaccine Administration Management System) and finally got confirmation ...in a few hours. I go on there and there is absolutely nothing available in a 100-mile radius throughout the end of next month.” But fortune smiled when Caron-Nevin read a post on social media about a clinic at Mount Hebron Baptist Church in Meriden scheduled for Saturday run by the city health department.

THIS DREAM LIFE MADE POSSIBLE WITH THE SUPPORT OF CONNEX. Jose’s Story.

Proud To Serve The North Haven Community For Over 35 Years!

Jose’s journey to success began with a totaled car. He was 19, with no credit history and no reliable way to get to work. Jose turned to Connex Credit Union, where his financial advocate helped him qualify for a low-rate auto loan. With a baby on the way, a safe and reliable set of wheels was something Jose absolutely needed. Thanks to the confidence and support he gained from Connex, Jose was able to get his family a reliable car, buy his first home, and soon, a second. If you want to know what 80 years of caring about people means, ask a Connex member like Jose.

Artist teaches painting in area towns

Briefs

By Joy VanderLek Special to the Record-Journal

From A9

CHESHIRE — To Artsplace teacher Patty Meglio, nothing can compare to “creating a beautiful scene on a clean blank canvas using the most luscious colors that magically come out of a tube.” Meglio’s enthusiasm for art and painting extends to teaching and her students’ work. Since she began to teach, Meglio has gone out into the community, teaching oil painting and watercolors to students in senior centers, high schools, and town recreation programs spread across many towns, including Hamden, North Haven, Wallingford, and Cheshire. She also has exhibited at local libraries and her works are sold

at various art shows and local shops. Meglio refers to her own painting style as modern abstract and explains it is “a loose way to paint.” It’s not a photo realistic style, but still realistic, she said. Her relaxed painting style contrasts with a lifelong career as a professional technical writer, a skill that is exacting and precise. She recently finished a winter session teaching oil painting at Artspace. “The workshops at Artsplace have been growing in popularity,” she said. “I’ve been amazed at how terrific the paintings turn out, especially as the classes are limited to three sessions.” Even though those classes were smaller

Village in Wallingford in 2009 he was an active volunteer and was well-known to many of the residents and staff. The joy of his life was his family; two of his favorite names were Dad and Gramps. He was ready to play at a moment’s notice and always willing to travel thousands of miles to visit family. During his retirement years, he and Bobbie took many interesting trips. Favorite hobbies of his were gardening, baking banana bread, and making jam. Thank you to the staff of Hartford Hospital and Miller Memorial for the care they provided over his last month. A memorial service will be held at a later date. Memorial contributions may be donated to: The Masonic Charity Foundation of CT, PO Box 70, Wallingford CT 06492 (online contributions can be made at masonicare.org) or Faith United Methodist Church, 81 Clintonville Rd, North Haven CT 06473. Arrangements are in the care of The Wallingford Funeral Home, 809 N. Main St. Ext, Wallingford. www.wallingfordfh.com

“Patty has created a wonderful and thorough experience for new oil painters at Artsplace,” said Artsplace Director Joan Pilarczyk. “In six short hours, students finish an 8” x 10” painting, not an easy fete. The faces of the students at the end shine equally with both satisfaction and surprise! Artsplace is very fortunate to have Patty Meglio, who I consider a master artist, to share skills with new artists. Soon Patty will be offering a class for developing further painting skills on Saturdays.”

with Subject and Focus. Meglio stressed the importance of having a subject that not only interests you as the artist, but draws the viewer in. Once a subject is chosen, Meglio advises to choose a central focus.

Conn. GOP lost registered voters after Capitol attack “I don’t think it’s anything that Republicans can or should run away from,” Dan Quigley, chair of the Republican Town Committee of Greenwich, told the newspaper.

That is far more than the number of Democrats who changed their affiliation, the New Haven Register reported.

“I think a lot of those people who are sort of centrist Republicans have decided to align themselves with the unaffiliated party label because they weren’t happy with how things went after the election,” he said. “I’m sure Jan. 6 played a role into it and how things happened on a national level after that. But it’s something we have to face.”

Republican voters interviewed by the newspaper who had left the party in January and February gave a variety of reasons, including the party’s support for former President Donald Trump and his claims of election fraud; general political polarization and a fear of backlash over being associated with the Republican Party. “It really doesn’t boil down to any of the candidates. I just felt there became a real viciousness on both sides regarding party allegiance,” Lisa Purdy, a Fairfield resident who runs an insurance company, told the newspaper. Most of the voters who left the GOP switched to unaffiliated or Independent status, the newspaper reported, using voter registration data from the Connecticut Secretary of State’s office. About 2,000 unaffiliated voters reregistered with another party during the same time period. The data showed the most defections came from residents of Greenwich, Glastonbury, Milford, Fairfield
