Cockeyed Crow Bar & Grill opens on Washington Ave. By Bailey Wright Record-Journal staff
NORTH HAVEN — You may notice some familiar faces behind the counter at the newest bar in town, Cockeyed Crow Bar & Grill. The business was opened by longtime Meriden bar owner Robert Boyles and his friend and business partner Tim Goudace. Robert Boyles’ daughter Lindsay Boyles, who has been involved in his Meriden pub— Scotty O’Boyles — since she was 18, is managing the staff and helping run the new business. “We're not going for the restaurant vibe, we're going for more of the bar vibe with food available,” Lindsay Boyles said of the North Haven location. The new bar is at 630 Wash-
The department will host a seven-week course looking at police work from various angles. The citizens academy will be held Wednesdays, 6 to 8:30
ington Ave., in an otherwise empty plaza next to Wharton Brook State Park. “This building had so much potential and I just feel like nobody put the effort into it,” Lindsay Boyles said. If things go well, the group hopes to rent the adjacent
plaza space and extend the bar and restaurant further. Besides the owners and some similar entertainment, Cockeyed Crow Bar & Grill won’t just be a second location of Scotty O’Boyles. It’s bigger, it has double the See Bar & grill, A13
“The academy is a program designed to meet with the public to provide them insights on what it is exactly police do, why it is we do some of the things that we do … and ultimately the biggest goal is to build that relationship with the community,” said Sergeant Joe Woznyk. See Academy, A6
Former ACLU head discusses hate speech, censorship By Everett Bishop The Citizen
The dining room of the new Cockeyed Crow Bar & Grill.
p.m., beginning April 1.
As social media giants such as Facebook and YouTube make headlines for attempting to root out hate speech on their platforms, former ACLU president Nadine Strossen says this – a form of censorship – may be a step in the wrong direction. On Tuesday, Feb. 18, Strossen spoke along with interim Executive Vice President and Provost Jennifer Gerarda Brown about the implications of censorship at Quinnpiac’s School of Law Center. “Hate is an emotion, and what one person hates
someone else loves … it’s always impossible to come up with an objective definition,” Strossen said. In her book “Hate: Why We Should Resist it With Free Speech, Not Censorship,” Strossen does the work of examining the effectiveness of censorship in limiting hate speech. She says censorship isn’t only “ineffective,” it also can be “counterproductive.” “In the recent history of how the more open-ended libel laws were enforced, they were being enforced against the Civil Rights movement repeatedly,” Strossen said.

5 tips for keeping kids active in winter By Kristen Dearborn Special to the Record-Journal
taken into account when programs are created.
WALLINGFORD — The winter months can make it more difficult for children to participate in regular physical activity outside of school. But, staying indoors doesn’t have to mean being sedentary.
Club staff give children who are more advanced a choice to move up an age bracket for specific programs.
Many local organizations, such as the Ulbrich Boys & Girls Club of Wallingford, provide children with the opportunity to stay physically active throughout the winter. I met with Mike Cotela Jr., unit director of the Ulbrich Boys & Girls Club, and Jermaine Mitchell, site coordinator of Ulbrich’s North Haven location, to get some advice on how to keep children engaged with challenging activities during the winter.
1. Considerations Cotela Jr. said kids are generally separated by age during physical activities at the Boys & Girls Club. This ensures that the games are fair, and children can play competitively with one another. Cotela Jr. added that skill level, age and gender are
They also provide opportunities for those who are still learning certain games to play with others who match their skill-level.
2. Dependable programs Programs should be scheduled in advance, so that kids can look forward to them and prepare. “That’s what gets the kids interested and engaged, is programs that have a set time that kids can count on,” said Cotela Jr. See Tips, A9

HIGH SCHOOL BASKETBALL
Surging Cheshire tops North Haven in overtime By Sean Krofssik Record-Journal staff
Ari Perlini had nine points for the Rams. She and fellow seniors Toni Wetmore, Rylee Post and Watkinson were honored before the game and played their final career home game on Monday night.
CHESHIRE — The late-season surge for the Cheshire girls basketball team continued with a Senior Night win on Monday night. The Rams (6-14) scored the first seven points of overtime and bolted to a 47-42 SCC crossover victory over North Haven (12-7) in front of a packed house. Senior Emma Watkinson was the star for Cheshire with a game-high 17 points as the Rams celebrated Senior Night in style. The win also clinched a postseason berth for the hosts. Watkinson drilled a 3-pointer to start the extra session to put the Rams up 40-37. “That was a gutsy three and a pivotal play down the stretch,” Cheshire coach Michelle Vieira said.

Following a Tess Givens steal, Watkinson went to the line and knocked down a pair as Cheshire went up 4237. Following a North Haven turnover, Watkinson penetrated and dished to Kaylee Clark for a trey.
North Haven held a 16-15 lead at the break behind a trey by Laura Petrafesa with 40 seconds left in the half. The shot gave the Indians their first lead since a 1-0 edge in the opening minutes. The 3-pointer also capped a 8-0 North Haven run over the final 6:21 to finish the half. Cheshire took control of the first quarter. Perlini (9 points) had back-to-back driving layups and Grace Lurz (7 points) came off the bench to drill a 3-pointer. See Basketball, A12

STATE
Names for Democratic, GOP primaries released By Susan Haigh Associated Press
HARTFORD — The secretary of the state announced Friday which candidates will appear on the ballot for the April 28 presidential primaries. Unlike some states, including Nevada, South Carolina and Kansas, Connecticut plans to hold a Republican primary even though President Donald Trump is expected to easily win his nomination for a second term. Besides Trump, former Massachusetts Gov. Bill Weld and California businessman Rocky De La Fuente, whose name also appeared on Connecticut’s Democratic presidential primary ballot in
2016, were selected to appear on this year’s ballot, Denise Merrill announced. J.R. Romano, chairman of the state Republican Party, criticized Merrill for holding a GOP primary, accusing her on Facebook of “forcing towns to spend money for no reason!” Romano wrote “everyone in CT see this for what it is,” calling Merrill’s decision “political pettiness.” Gabe Rosenberg, Merrill’s communications director, said the secretary of the state was following the law. “What J.R. calls pettiness, we call democracy,” he said. “Our office followed both the letter and the spirit of the law, and let the voters decide.”
Merrill said Connecticut law requires her to place on the ballot any presidential candidate whose candidacy for a party’s nomination “is generally and seriously advocated or recognized according to reports in the national or state news media.” Merrill said her office has been collecting news articles for the past year to decide who met that requirement. “The law is clear for us that the threshold is not who can win or viability,” she said. “The threshold is whether they’ve been generally and seriously advocated for or recognized by the national and state news media. And I would argue that all of these people certainly have had recognition.”
Lawmakers to revive aid in dying, crisis pregnancy centers legislation
Much of the state’s attention will be focused on the Democratic primary, however. The list of Democratic candidates that will appear are: former Vice President Joe Biden, former Mayor Mike Bloomberg, former Mayor Pete Buttigieg, U.S. Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, U.S. Sen. Amy Klobuchar, U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders, businessman Tom Steyer and U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren.
The petitions must be turned into town registrars by March 6. Merrill will then publicly draw names of eligible candidates on March 24 to determine the order of how they will appear on their respective primary ballots.
While it’s too late for voters to switch from one party to another, unaffiliated and new voters have until April 23 to registered online at Candidates who were not se- myvote.ct.gov/register or lected by Merrill can still ap- until April 27 to register in person at their local town pear on the ballots if they file petitions with the signa- hall.

North Branford. “There are a lot of demands – whether it be tolls, our transportation infrastructure – that are going to take up a lot of time in this building. And when we take up issues like these, it will swallow up a lot of that time.” Steinberg encouraged the committee to tackle difficult topics, saying it would set a “bad precedent” to shy away in a short session. “That could be a slippery slope to us not doing our jobs,” he said. Others noted that the outcomes for both proposals would likely be unchanged from last year, since the same people are debating them. The session ends in May, and lawmakers won’t face re-election until the fall. Members suggested that the bills be tweaked so legislators aren’t deadlocked over the same points.
