Town shuts down schools, suspends upcoming events

State Rep. Dave Yaccarino read The Butter Battle Book to students at Montowese School to celebrate the birthday of Dr. Seuss and National Read Across America Day.

Read Across America Day Earlier this month, as part of Read Across America Day, state Rep. Dave Yaccarino read to students at Green Acres Elementary School, Montowese Elementary School, Clintonville Elementary School and Ridge Road Elementary School. Sponsored by the National Education Association, the annual event is meant to foster a love of reading in children. Read Across America Day, takes

place on March 2 in celebration of the classic children’s author Dr. Seuss. Said Yaccarino: “In honor of Dr. Seuss’s birthday, I was able to spend time reading to students throughout schools in North Haven to discuss the importance of a love of reading. The children had some great questions about state government too. This day is always a wonderful experience that

I look forward to every year.” “Reading is a critical skill that leads to future success, and I am happy to help promote literacy amongst our young students,” Yaccarino added. “Personally speaking, I would not be in the position I am today if it wasn’t for my love of reading – I thank my mother and teachers for that.” -- Press Release

First Selectman Michael J. Freda and Fire Chief/Emergency Management Director Paul Januszewski announced in a press release Thursday, March 12 that the Town of North Haven would immediately be suspending upcoming town events, gatherings and non-essential meetings until further notice, as well as closing schools and several town buildings, for a minimum of two weeks.

In addition to public schools, the following town buildings were closed: The library, Senior Center, pool and Community Services daycare.

"The health, wellness and safety of our residents and town staff are our top priority and we believe this proactive step will help to ensure we are meeting the goal of protecting our community,” said Freda, who is working closely with the State of Connecticut and the Governor’s office during this critical time.

Those having business with the town are encouraged to use online resources including the online permitting system for building permits, and online program for payment of taxes.

Following their early dismissal on March 12, all North Haven schools were cancelled for two weeks. All school sponsored events and programs were cancelled as well.

Town employees will work to answer calls and assist the public. Any critical needs that may require in-person resources will be handled individually on a pre-scheduled appointment basis.

Sanitation and recycling will continue to operate on their normal schedule, and the police and fire departments will continue to be fully operational. All town meetings will be cancelled or postponed until further notice. See Events, A10

announcing restrictions aimed at curbing the spread of the coronavirus.

HARTFORD — Connecticut officials on Monday ordered movie theaters, gyms and other businesses closed until further notice, joining with New York and New Jersey in

Many businesses were ordered to close as of 8 p.m. Monday, and bars and restaurants were limited to offering only takeout. Connecticut Gov. Ned Lamont

also urged the Foxwoods Resort Casino and Mohegan Sun to close. Essential businesses such as supermarkets and gas stations will be able to stay open. “We are in this together,” Lamont said during a conference call with the governors

of New York and New Jersey. ”This is changing so fast. We’ve got to work together on a coordinated basis.” Public gatherings of more than 50 people were restricted, in line with guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. La-

mont on Sunday ordered all public schools in the state to close beginning Tuesday. For most people, the virus causes only mild or moderate symptoms, such as fever and cough. For some, espeSee Closures, A10

Q: What is CBD? A: Cannabidiol, better known as CBD, is a compound found in industrial hemp plants that offer numerous of benefits.

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.

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.

One ambulance, in my opinion, is not enough for the thousands of medical calls). What bothers me the most is how the decision to expand to Montowese was finalized.

Two recent developments involving the Partnership for Connecticut have raised concerns about a lack of transparency in operating the public-private education partnership between the state and philanthropists Ray and Barbara Dalio. First, although Gov. Ned Lamont has repeatedly insisted that legislators shun gimmicks to get around Connecticut's budget cap, he wants an exception for the state's $20 million annual contribution to the Partnership, according to reports by The Connecticut Mirror.

Transparency lacking counting maneuver is justified by the importance of the partnership’s goals, it has sparked objections from both sides of the aisle in Hartford. Close upon that controversy came news that Dalio Philanthropies, without consulting the board, had engaged a public relations firm, Global Strategy Group — headed by managing director Roy Occhiogrosso, a well-known political operative who was a senior policy advisor to Gov. Dannel Malloy — to speak for the Partnership. This was ironic, at best, coming at a time when a legislative panel was looking at a bill to revoke special privacy rules for the Partnership, including its controversial exemption from the state's Freedom of Information law. These developments only reinforce objections that some lawmakers and newspapers, including the Record-Journal, have raised to the special treatment being afforded to this new entity. From the creation of this unusual agency, there has been steady pressure to hold it above the open-government standards that have been a feather in Connecticut’s cap since Gov. Ella Grasso signed the landmark Freedom of Information Act in 1975. As the preamble to the FOI Act declares, “The legislature finds and declares that secrecy in government is inherently inconsistent with a true democracy …” It would be a big step backward to abandon those principles now, even in view of the $100 million that Dalio Philanthropies has pledged to the laudable effort to assist struggling schools.

Athletes rallied, but decision to cancel tournaments stood By Sean Krofssik Record-Journal staff

due to concerns over the coronavirus COVID-19.

CHESHIRE — About 500 student-athletes, coaches and supporters from all over the state gathered together last week to make their voices heard at the CIAC office in Cheshire.

The high school athletes held up signs, like “Let us Play” or “Live Stream the Game.”

The students made their message clear. They felt cheated by the CIAC’s decision and wanted to finish the season, even if it’s in empty gyms with no spectators.

Word of the protest was spread on social media, calling students to meet at the CIAC’s Cheshire headquarters at 10 a.m. Many athletes arrived before 10.

The Wednesday, March 11 protest came came almost 24 hours after the CIAC announced that the remainder of the winter championship tournaments were cancelled

The demonstration lasted about three hours. There were chants and cheering.

Stop Solitary Connecticut hosted a conference call on Monday afternoon to discuss the petition. David McGuire, the executive director of the ACLU Ct, said he is calling on the governor and legislators to take action immediately.

In a letter published by the State Department of Corrections last Thursday, it was announced that all social visits are suspended in state prisons.

We ask, please, whomever took our barrels and our flag to please, please return them. Just place them back where they belong. The barrels were donated to the club by a resident that moved to another state and were placed at Todd’s Pond as one of our club’s beautification efforts.

The barrels are very expensive to replace. This year it might be even harder for us because our main fundraiser, May Market, might be in jeopardy because of the Coronavirus. So please turn them, no questions asked.

“I would give anything to have another chance to play with my boys,” he added. In a press conference following the protest, CIAC Executive Director Glenn Lungarini said he had hoped to speak with the protesters. “It was my intention to go out and speak with them,” Lungarini said. “Based on the behavior, we didn’t have the opportunity to do so. I would be happy to speak with people. We’ve spoke with a number of people who reached out. We’ve also spoken to princi-

We need to consider that and how we can contribute to stopping this and preventing the spread of it. That’s where that decision comes from.” Lungarini said the CIAC serves the entire state. With 170 contests left to play, he said, it would have been difficult to finish the state tournament.
