EDC addresses major retailer, brownfields By Everett Bishop The Citizen

Connecticut State Archaeologist Nicholas Bellantoni speaks about the ongoing research into four skeletons found beneath a Ridgefield home. Radiologists at Quinnipiac University's North Haven campus, where Bellantoni spoke on March 2, are using X-ray technology to image the bones, which are believed to be the remains of Revolutionary War soldiers buried in a mass grave after the 1777 Battle of Ridgefield.

Remains believed to be those of Revolutionary War soldiers By Devin Leith-Yessian Record-Journal staff

NORTH HAVEN — Four skeletons found underneath a Ridgefield home late last year are increasingly believed to be those of Revolutionary War soldiers.

The skeletons were found in

In an Economic Development Commission meeting on Thursday, Feb. 27, Freda said the plan was to have the new retailer move into the vacancy left by Toys R Us and Ulta Beauty by August or September. Freda also said that the representatives from the retailer would be “flying in from California sometime in March” to meet with him and perhaps sign the lease for the property. If that plays out,

Chairman of the EDC, Richard LoPresti, also provided updates since North Haven joined the Connecticut Brownfields Initiative. “I took the interns from the Connecticut Brownfields program on a tour … and they were very engaged and I’m looking forward to see what they come up with,” LoPresti said. A current list of properties the interns are looking into include: 222 McDermott Road, 1000 Universal Drive and the property in front of the Amazon Fulfillment Center.

“We've still got a lot of forensic work to do, but the fact is that they're fitting the hypothesis very well,” said State Archaeologist Nicholas Bellantoni. Bellantoni gave an update on the investigation at Quinnipiac Unversity’s North Haven campus on Monday. He was joined by radiology experts from the university’s Bioanthropology Research Institute. The researchers and Quinnipiac students are using X-ray technology to study the skeletons.

First Selectman Michael Freda has been hinting at a “major 80,000 square foot retailer” on Universal Drive, and it seems that some news might finally be coming to light.

Freda is hoping the retailer will be able to make an announcement at the EDC’s spring breakfast on April 21.

Tania Grgurich, a clinical associate professor of diagnostic imaging with Quinnipiac University, speaks with radiology students after performing a CT scan of a skull found beneath a Ridgefield home in November 2019.

late November as the owners of the home, which was built in 1790 and expanded over the burial site in 1984, were preparing to install a concrete floor in the dirt-

floor basement. After the skeletons were determined to be historical, Bellantoni exhumed the remains. See Remains, A14

Q: Can CBD make you high? A: The marijuana plant is high in tetrahydrocannabinol or

THC and very low in CBD. CBD is not psychoactive so it does not change a person’s state of mind when they consume it.

times and all-conference four times.

Q: What is THC? A: THC stands for tetrahydrocannabinol, the main

compound found in marijuana plants. THC is what gives marijuana its psychoactive properties or “high” effects.

Q: Is all CBD the same? A: No, many companies extract CBD from the seed or the

stem, which is an easier and cheaper process. We extract it from the flower to provide the highest concentration of CBD. We also use third-party testing and all of our products include a QR code to provide customers access to our lab reports. Because as the industry grows many companies are unable to show transparency like we do.

Lamont: Conn. is ready for virus; infections expected HARTFORD — Gov. Ned Lamont on Wednesday, Feb. 26 tried to assure residents that the state is ready with a coordinated response to deal with anticipated cases of the COVID-19 virus, while acknowledging the situation is changing fast. While there have been no infections identified so far in Connecticut, State Epidemiologist Dr. Matthew Cartter said efforts by the U.S. to contain the virus will only

slow it down, adding “it’s no good pretending it’s not going to come” and there is now a window of opportunity to prepare for possible transmission in the state. “Like the old saying, better to prepare for the worst and hope for the best,” Cartter said. “And right now, it’s time to prepare.” Asked about the potential number of cases Connecticut could expect, Cartter said a “reasonable planning target at the present time” would be a flu season with no vaccine or anti-virus.

Each year, roughly 500 people die in Connecticut from the flu. Lamont held a media briefing at the state’s Emergency Operations Center in Hartford with Cartter, the state’s hospital association CEO, doctors and other officials on Wednesday evening, Feb. 26, shortly before President Trump made an announcement about the federal response to the virus. Lamont, a Democrat, said state Public Health Commissioner Renee D. Coleman-Mitchell was in Washington, D.C.,

seeking to block a state policy that allows high school athletes to compete based on the gender they identify with, arguing transgender girls have an unfair physical advantage.

“What Plaintiffs alleged — and what is true — is that due to physiological differences, female athletes cannot beat ‘comparably talented and trained’ males,” Mitchell’s attorneys wrote. “And if Chelsea beat Miller by a hair in a particular race, Miller nevertheless deprived one girl of the second-place title in that race, and pushed the third-fastest girl off the victory podium entirely.” These are the first races in the seniors’ high school careers that Miller has lost to Mitchell.

Marijuana legalization discussed By Chris Ehrmann Associated Press

HARTFORD — Connecticut lawmakers held a public hearing Monday to discuss details of a new bill proposed by the governor that would legalize recreational marijuana in the state.

At the meeting inside the Capitol complex in Hartford, legislators on the state’s Judiciary Committee heard from representatives of Democratic Gov. Ned Lamont’s administration about the bill that would allow adults 21 or older to use and possess recreational marijuana up to 1.5 ounces.

The 108-page bill introduced during Lamont’s February State of the State speech would automatically erase convictions of possession of 4 ounces or less of pot for people convicted before 2015. Those convicted after 2015 can petition the court for erasure. See Marijuana, A10

He said his administration was working with the state’s congressional delegation on securing needed federal funds. Based on past grant allotments, Connecticut officials expect to receive about 1% of what the federal government ultimately dedicates to the virus. “This is not a call to make you nervous. It’s a call to give you confidence that we’re ready for what’s going forward here. Give you confidence that we’ve got the best people here in the state of Connecticut who have been on this, not just today, but for weeks going forward,” said Lamont, noting that state emergency officials trained for a possible

pandemic in August. Last Wednesday, Michael Spera, the Old Saybrook Police Chief and president of the Connecticut Emergency Management Association, raised concerns in a letter to Lamont about a lack of protective equipment for emergency responders. Asked about the letter at the news conference, Lamont said “there’s a scramble” across the country for supplies such as face masks, but that the state’s hospitals have a supply and are currently working to secure additional protective equipment. Lamont urged the public to stay informed by checking the state’s website for continuous updates, including infectious disease planning information for schools and ways members of the public can protect themselves.

Marijuana From A9

“We have to recognize the war on drugs has had a tremendously destructive impact on certain communities,” said Jonathan Harris, senior adviser to the governor. He added that nearby states like Massachusetts and Vermont have already legalized marijuana or are on track to legalize it like Rhode Island and the state “can’t stick our heads in the sand” anymore. The efforts to legalize marijuana come after last year’s attempt failed.
