How Central Connecticut towns are responding to coronavirus By Everett Bishop Record-Journal staff

Across the state, communities are responding to coronavirus in a variety of ways in an effort to keep residents safe while maintaining normalcy. As of Tuesday afternoon, Connecticut had a total of 3,128 confirmed cases of the virus. Of those, nine were in North Haven. Nearby, 11 cases were confirmed in Berlin, seven were in Plainville, one was confirmed in Durham, and there was one in Middlefield. In response to the encroaching threat, North Haven, Durham, Middlefield, Plainville and Berlin have all closed town offices and pub- A researcher at Protein Sciences in Meriden moves a vial in a lab on Thursday, March 12.

Senate GOP Leader Len Fasano not seeking re-election By Mark Pazniokas The Connecticut Mirror

Senate Republican Leader Len Fasano is not seeking re-election, opening a fight to succeed him in a suburban New Haven district and as leader of the GOP minority in the Connecticut Senate. Fasano, who filed papers

creating a campaign committee in February, could not be reached for comment Tuesday night. But a staff member confirmed that the senator has informed colleagues and supporters of his decision not to seek a 10th term representing the 34th District of Durham, East Haven, North Haven and Wallingford.

Fasano, 61, is a centrist Republican lawyer who was elected to the Senate in 2002 and succeeded John P. McKinney as the caucus leader after the 2014 election cycle, when McKinney ran for governor instead of re-election. Fasano was re-elected in 2018 with 58.5 percent of the vote.

Republicans have not controlled the Senate since a two-year run in 1995 and 1996, but they won an 18-18 tie in 2016, forcing a rare power-sharing arrangement with Democrats, who retained nominal control due to the tie-breaking ability of a Democratic lieutenant governor.

With Donald J. Trump in the White House and the Democratic base energized, Democrats won 23 of the 36 Senate seats in 2018. The Democratic advantage fell to the current 22-14 after Republicans picked up a seat in a special election last year. See Fasano, A6

Officials warn of potential scams Residents are cautioned to be on the lookout for scams involving claims of stimulus checks from the federal government.

Tong advised residents to do research if they receive a phone call, text message or email from someone claiming to be from the federal government.

Lora Rae Anderson, spokeswoman for the Department of Consumer Protection, said residents should know that the government will not require people to provide a Social Security number, “or pay a fee in order to get a stimulus check — or gain access to programs offered as a result of COVID-19.”

Anderson said charities in Connecticut have to be registered with the Department of Consumer Protection. Residents can verify a charity’s registration by going to elicense.ct.gov. Scam charities will pressure residents to donate immediately, legitimate ones will allow people to do research. Legitimate charities will also be transparent about where the donated money is going. Anderson said if there is an offer for something in return for a donation, such as a vacation, it is most likely a scam.

If you receive a suspicious phone call, email or text message, contact the Office of the Attorney General at 860-808-5000 or attor“We have heard about conney.general@ct.gov, or consumers receiving emails with tact the Department of ConState police said they have not received any complaints. suspicious links offering to sumer Protection at get them a stimulus check dcp.complaints@ct.gov. “Hopefully people heed the immediately if only they lsellew@record-journal.com warning,” Meriden Police click and turn over personal 203-317-2225 Sgt.

Fasano From A1

As the caucus leader, Fasano both fought and, on occasion, worked cooperatively with two Democratic governors, Ned Lamont and Dannel P. Malloy. And he kept his distance from the president, declining an invitation to be a Trump delegate to the 2016 Republican National Convention. He exhibited frustration that summer at the endless questions about Trump. “I never endorsed him. I purposely didn’t go to the convention. I don’t feel I have to defend or attack every statement he makes,” Fasano said. His focus, he said then, was Connecticut’s fiscal crisis and electing a Republican majority to the state Senate. “That’s why I’ve taken a hands off attitude,” Fasano said. “He is the nominee of our party. I respect that. But I don’t feel I have to defend him every step of the way.” He opposed Lamont’s various proposals to increase transportation spending by imposing highway or bridge tolls, but he offered an alternative: Using budget re-

serves in a complex and creative way to finance a transportation overhaul without tolls or new taxes. The plan would have used nearly two-thirds of the state’s budget reserves to pay down pension liabilities, producing an annual savings of $130 million that could be spent on transportation. Another $100 million would come from cutting annual borrowing for things such as capital spending on local schools and public universities.

Lamont rejected it as too risky, but complimented

Fasano for coming to the table with the idea.

Fasano’s opposite number in the Democratic caucus, Senate President Martin M. Recently, Fasano has praised Looney of New Haven, said Lamont for his leadership he would be missed. during the COVID-19 pandemic, but he gave a poor “I am disheartened to hear review in December of the that Senator Fasano’s time in governor’s political skills. the state Senate will be coming to an end. Len is a pillar “It’s a lack of understanding of the General Assembly and in that building that has leaves a distinguished legacy been an impediment to the as a true statesman of the governor closing the deal” Connecticut Senate,” Looney on transportation, Fasano said. “While we may serve as said. “I think the business leaders of different parties, principles and brains are of Len and I have worked tovalue, but they are nullified gether countless times to if you can’t navigate the solve problems, help people building.”

in need, and get vital things done.” The two leaders worked together last year in passing a bipartisan patient protection bill, the third in a series of health care measures they co-sponsored. Looney said those laws have been a model for other states “The Senate circle will not be the same without him,” Looney said. “I am fortunate to have counted Len as a friend for over 30 years and I will miss him dearly. I wish him, his wife Jill, and his family the very best.”

(and patiently) casting using worms and marshmallows for bait. “I’ve been fishing here 30something years,” the 72year-old city resident said. “I just found out this morning that DEEP moved up opening day and I had to get out of the house.” Black Pond is close to Girling’s home. After a couple of hours pondside he had yet to catch anything. He did have a 19-inch catch last year and, in his most successful single-session haul, reeled in eight.

“It’s quiet and there’s wildlife around,” he said. “You have to enjoy all of that. That’s what it’s about.” Further down Black Pond, 41-year-old Erik Gonzalez of Meriden was fishing with a heavy heart. His fishing buddy, Doug Fuschino of Meriden, died on March 14 at age 59. “He was up here all of the time and was a pretty good fisherman,” Gonzalez said. “I left his funeral procession tag here and, when I caught my trout today, I thought of him. He’s still here with us.”

“I love fishing,” Girling said. “I don’t keep them. I just let them all go unless someone wants it and I give it away.” Paul Field, 64 and also of Meriden, is another fisherman who practices catchand-release. “It’s nice they opened early, especially with everyone not being able to go to work anymore,” Field said. “It’s good to still get out and do things. I’ve always enjoyed Opening Day ever since I was a kid.”

Gonzalez also usually fishes with his 11-year-old son Brandon. Last Wednesday, however, Brandon had school commitments to attend to at home. Gonzalez did have something to bring back to the house. Of the two trout he caught on this day, one was an 11-inch keeper he was planning to cook for dinner.

As for those feeling sick, the best tips are to stay home and get in contact with your healthcare provider as soon as possible. "If you have any symptoms of illness, including fever, cough or shortness of breath, you should not leave home except to receive medical care," said Aimee Krauss, health director for Durham. "Stay in touch with your healthcare provider. Call before you get medical care.

Connecticut Rare Disease Day takes place throughout the state and serves as an opportunity for patients, caregivers, medical professionals, industry representatives and public officials to come together, share their stories and voice their support for as many as 300,000 people in Connecticut living with a rare disease. There are approximately 7,000 rare diseases and almost 1 in 10 Americans is impacted by them, which tend to be extremely costly to treat and often result in death. Yaccarino hopes that raising awareness will bring more donations, funding, treatments, and one day a cure. -- Press Release

Do not overload the generator.

From A7

Plug appliances directly into the generator or use a heavy-duty, outdoor rated extension cord. Make sure extension cords used with generators are rated for the load and have threepronged plugs. They should be inspected for damage, such as cuts and/or worn insulation before use.

Never operate a generator inside your home or in other enclosed or partially-enclosed spaces. Generators can very quickly produce high levels of carbon monoxide, which can be deadly. Opening doors and windows or operating fans to attempt to ventilate a generator will not prevent carbon monoxide build-up in the home.

Make sure fuel for the generator is stored safely, away from living areas, in properly labeled containers, and away from fuel-burning appliances. Before re-fueling, always turn the generator off and let it cool down. A generator is a temporary power source. Use a generator only when necessary to power essential equipment or appliances.

Keep children away from portable generators at all times. Residents are also reminded that carbon monoxide, also known as the “invisible killer,” is an odorless, colorless, tasteless and poisonous gas. If you feel dizzy or weak,

you should get to fresh air right away. If a CO detector goes off in your home, all residents should leave the house immediately and call 911 from outside or from a neighbor’s house. -- Press Release

Turn off all appliances powered by the generator before shutting down the generator.
