Cedar Hills bill moves forward

The General Assembly’s Planning and Development Committee last week passed, with broad and bipartisan support, a bill which Rep. Dave Yaccarino introduced that would modify the organization of the Cedar Hills Infrastructure Improvement District in North Haven to allow for future economic development. House Bill 6640, An Act Concerning The Cedar Hills Infrastructure Improvement District, passed unanimously out of the committee process and is expected to be voted on during the 2021 legislative session.

Yaccarino and proponents of this legislation explain that it would generate revenue for North Haven and benefit the surrounding area as well.

carino. "During these difficult times, many of us believe that our state should be doing everything it can to make it easier, and more convenient to help businesses grow, and to strengthen our economy – this type of economic development is a step in the right direction."

"I am pleased to see Yaccarino this bill move through the legislative process with complete bipartisan support. This bill and the corresponding project will benefit North Haven, New Haven County and the state of Connecticut for years to come," said Yac-

The Cedar Hills Infrastructure Improvement District was created by Special Act 15-16 in February of 2016 to bring about the development of a vacant piece of commercial property in North Haven. This property was purchased over 30 years ago with the intent of creating

a regional ash dump. However, this plan was later denied by the state's Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (DEEP) due to the site being too close to the Quinnipiac River. Since then, no development has occurred on this site as a result of lack of access and environmental contamination. In 2019, the state's Department of Economic Development (DECD) provided a $200,000 grant to the town of North Haven to conduct site investigation, which revealed that the site was in need of significant inSee Bill, A8

Connecticut is one step closer to naming pizza its official state food By Faith Williams Record-Journal staff

the state has some of oldest pizzerias in the United States.

Local pizzeria owners are voicing excitement over a recently introduced bill that would make pizza the official state food. State Rep. Patricia A. Dillon and Sen. Gary A. Winfield introduced the proposal to designate pizza as the state food earlier this year. The purpose is to “recognize the contribution of pizza to the state’s cuisine and economy.” The bill was recently passed by a legislative committee 19-0, but still must be approved by the full House and Senate.

The petition currently has 448 signatures. Domenic’s and Vinnie’s has been in business for 70 years. The pizzeria began in 1949 in Waterbury before branching out to Middlebury and then later Southington.

Bash Vinca, owner of Casa di Roma in Meriden, agrees pizza is an important cuisine in the state.

“There are a lot of good pizza places and pizza makers in Connecticut — so why not?”

“I agree with it,” Vinca said.

Taste of New Haven, a food

and drink tour organization, created a petition on change.org in support of the bill. One of the reasons the group is encouraging people to sign the petition is that

“As a pizza maker and pizza owner, I think it would be a great thing,” said Mike Annenberg, co-owner of Domenic’s and Vinnie’s. “There’s a pizza place on every corner and it’s not going away. It puts us at the top of the food chain in Connecticut’s food industry.” Oakdale Pizza in Wallingford has been in business for almost 40 years. Manager George Groumousas is in favor of the bill and prides himself on using the same recipe he started with. See Pizza, A6

Parties joust over extension of executive powers On Tuesday, March 30, Connecticut lawmakers granted final legislative approval to extending Gov. Ned Lamont’s emergency powers during the COVID-19 pandemic to May 20. The Democratic-controlled Senate voted along partisan lines, 24-10. Here’s a look at some reactions from state lawmakers: State Sen. Henri Martin (R31) issued the following statement : “I want to be crystal clear about my vote today. This is not about the validity of the pandemic. It is time for us to resume our responsibility as legislators.

“Now with over a year under our belts managing through this pandemic as a state, there has been ample time to determine which executive orders need to be ratified by the legislature and which can simply lapse. “Today the Senate Republican Caucus offered an amendment to emphasize the necessary steps that should be taken to manage the Governor’s emergency powers and to reassert the legislature as a coequal branch of government. “While there are certainly times where the Governor is best suited to act under emergency authority, the year’s long autonomy over

state policy during the COVID-19 pandemic should be coming to a close. As the Governor has determined he should expand businesses’ abilities to remain open, that larger gatherings of people are permitted, as the state leads the nation in vaccination rates, we too should have the legislature reinstated and get back to work. “I cannot, as a state senator, as the ranking senator on matters concerning state financing and commerce or as the ranking senator on matters concerning Connecticut’s youngest residents, support any further delay to having the legislature return to business.”

It’s National Distracted Driving Awareness Month

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, there were 26,004 people killed in motor vehicle crashes involving distracted drivers between 2012 and 2019. In Connecticut in 2019, more than 6,600 crashes were attributed to distracted driving.

An analysis of 2009-2012 data by the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety found that while more than 80 percent of drivers believed it was completely unacceptable for a motorist to text behind the wheel, more than a third of those same drivers admitted to reading text messages while operating a passenger motor vehicle.

State Sen. Mary Daugherty Abrams (D-13) issued the following statement: "I support the passage of this bill to extend the governor's pandemic emergency powers until May 20," said Abrams, Senate Chair of the Public Health Committee. "We are vaccinating residents at one of the fastest rates in the nation and beginning to see some light at the end of this long and painful tunnel caused by the global pandemic. Still, COVID-19 is far from done with us, our nation or the world. Therefore, it is imperative that we do all we can to stop the spread of COVID-19 and harmful, more dangerous variants in order to put

• When you get behind the wheel, be an example to your family and friends by putting your phone away. Texting and driving isn’t trendy “normal” behavior — it’s a selfish, deadly and oftentimes illegal activity.

Also, the Connecticut Supreme Court issued a unanimous opinion confirming the constitutionality of Lamont’s use of emergency powers during the COVID-19 pandemic. Noting that former President Donald Trump had invoked the 1988 federal Stafford Act in declaring the COVID-19 pandemic to be a "major disaster," the state Supreme Court ruled that the coronavirus pandemic in Connecticut also meets both the legal and plain-language definitions of “catastrophe” See Powers, A12

“From my point of view, the science issues are pretty straight-forward,” Petit said. “But I think the ramifications in terms of the educational impact on kids is really confusing.”

sweep out any tiny bit of breadcrumb or undesirable food,” she said.

From A11

Spring seems to inspire many people to roll up their sleeves and get their space spic ‘n span and orderly. There may be a good reason for this, say local experts, giving their perspective on why so many undertake this annual ritual.

Harris can’t confirm that the origin of spring cleaning comes from Judaism, but to those observing Passover, it is not extraordinary to do a thorough cleaning. Harris added that her sister uses Passover as “a good excuse to clean out the fridge.”

Some historians say spring cleaning goes back thousands of years. Jodi Harris, director of Learning and Engagement at Temple Beth David in Cheshire, said there’s a tradition to clean before Passover. This is when Jews are forbidden to eat anything with leavening in it. “In very old times, and I can’t put a number on it, it was customary to rid your home of ‘chametz,’ a word meaning ‘that which is not kosher.’ And you would clean your house,” Harris said.

Another angle on the origins of spring cleaning is that it gave colonists a chance to clean out a winter’s worth of using the fireplace and sooty oil lamps.

To clean the house, “You would empty your cupboards, actually burn any bread product or anything that was not traditionally eaten over the holiday. And then, to make sure every single corner of your home was clean, you would take a candle and a feather: a candle to look in every single corner for crumbs, and the feathers to

months. “It gets to the point where it’s out of control. They (homeowners) are under stress because the house is so disorganized,” she said.

A biological take on the topic is that when the season changes, humans become more energized, optimistic and goal-oriented. Spring cleaning is the result.

Montalto believes COVID exacerbates the disarray and accumulation, since everyone is home. Once one’s space is decluttered, cleaned and dusted, those who live in the house find it’s easier to breath and get around. Another clutter issue due to COVID is the accumulation of cardboard boxes and mailers. Also, people began to stock up on items, and perhaps found they didn’t need it all, she said, adding that all those delivery boxes are piling up, too. Montalto’s strategy to cleaning in general is the protocol of top to bottom and in-between. It begins with “taking cobwebs off the ceiling.” From there, Montalto works her way down to the floor. Cleaning could include windowsills, appliances, countertops, and floors.

What exactly is spring cleaning? It may have begun as an activity focused on the indoors. Nowadays, spring cleaning can extend to your yard, cleaning your gutters. It may cover cleaning out the garage and whole house junk removal. Maid Magic LLC owner Nicole “Nic” Montalto focuses on the inside of the house. She said dust, dirt and disorganization build up over the cold winter

As for cleaning products, she prefers non-chemical options or cleaners like Method or Meyers. “Everything we use for dusting and cleaning has a See Cleaning, A13

Help prevent sewer blockages

COVID

The Town of North Haven is asking residents to avoid flushing disposable hand wipes and other inappropriate items (disposable gloves, towels, etc.) into the town’s sewer lines and sanitary sewer system as people practice sanitation guidelines to combat the ongoing pandemic.

From A14

The Department of Public Works is working closely with Veolia North America, which operates and maintains the town’s wastewater treatment plant, to educate people about the need to avoid flushing inappropriate items down their toilets. Veolia workers have noticed a significant

Calcagni REAL ESTATE

Town officials ask residents to dispose of used wipes in their trash bins, rather than flushing them.

The “temporary” shift that many of us made a year ago to work from home has given way to a more permanent reality: “WFH” may be here to stay, at least in some capacity. And for some Connecticut homeowners, that means working on the couch is no longer working for them at all. If you’ve been daydreaming about a dedicated home office space in your home but don’t quite know where to begin, we’ve got some ideas to help you get started.

DECIDE ON THE DESK

If you’ve been using the kitchen table, a card table or your lap as your go-to desk at home, you’re not alone. This transient work station situation is one of the biggest reasons homeowners have for creating a dedicated home office space—not to mention the backaches, headaches and random muscle pain that goes with these setups.

CVS: CVS is offering the vaccine at many locations around the state. To make an appointment using this system go to cvs.com. Walmart: Walmart also offers the vaccine at many locations across the state. To make an appointment using this system, visit walmart.com.

HOW DO I DESIGN A HOME OFFICE?

Choosing your desk is a critical part of your work from home setup, because it will not only be a focal point in the room, but it needs to be fully functional for your needs. Does your desk have enough room to sit comfortably while holding your oversized monitor (or two)? Do you have room to spread out paperwork, if that’s what your job calls for? Does it have built-in cord keepers, or drawers for storage?

YOU ASK, WE ANSWER:

Hartford HealthCare: Hartford HealthCare has multiple locations, including large clinics in the Hartford area. To make an appointment using this system, go to hartfordhealthcare.org.

Walgreens: Walgreens is offering the vaccine at many locations around the state. To make an appointment using this system, go to walgreens.com.

Consider how your workday normally progresses and what challenges you’ve faced working from random surfaces throughout your home, and be sure your desk meets your needs. Once you find a design that’s fully functional (we’re looking at you, adjustable standing desks!), it’s time to decide on the style of your desk: Sleek and modern? Boho chic? Or perhaps something more traditional? Let your desk set the tone for the rest of this room—and don’t forget to have fun with it. After all, designing your own office space is one of the perks of working from home!

LIGHT YOUR WAY

For some of us, having a brightly lit space signals the focus that our jobs demand. For others, working by the light of a desk lamp or a sun-soaked window is how they prefer to operate. Think about the tasks you do throughout the day and how light would help improve upon them. Are you on video calls throughout the day? If so, a well-lit

room that negates harsh shadows would be helpful. Do you work on a monitor all day? Consider how natural light will filter in and if it will create a glare on your screen throughout the day. If your home already has overhead lighting, a desk lamp or floor lamp may be just what you need to further illuminate dark corners, and if you don’t have windows in your office, they’ll help create balanced lighting that may just help keep you motivated through yet another virtual meeting.

STORAGE

While working from home has many perks, storage can be a bit of a challenge. You may be fine with a functional metal storage cabinet in your home office, or you may gravitate more towards something more decorative. Again, functionality is very important here; you want to make sure your storage solutions won’t be bulging at the seams in 2 months. Don’t be afraid to think outside the (storage) box here. If setting up your home office in a guest bedroom, for instance, consider utilizing a dresser or armoire as your storage solution. Bookcases can hold jars or vases used for holding office supplies; open shelves can serve as a mix of artful display and function by holding books, photos and folders or other office gear.

And while you’re thinking about storage, don’t forget to consider creative solutions for hiding your multiple power cords. Smart and streamlined solutions like those from Yamazaki do a great job keeping things neat without breaking the bank.

PERSONALIZATION

Last but not least, it’s time to think about personalizing your office (at Calcagni, this is always our favorite part!). Perhaps the best part of working from home, making your office feel like your own space is an integral part of setting up “shop.” After all, this is where you’ll be spending hours of your day! Bonus: You don’t have to run your ideas by an office manager. Artwork, photographs, paint color, furniture and lighting all come together to create an office that reflects your design aesthetic and your work style. You may prefer to work in a stark room because it’s less distracting, or you may want as much personality around you as possible to serve as inspiration. Just remember that if you’re on video calls a lot, you want to consider what’s showing up in the background. Other than that, have fun personalizing your work space! Make it a room you enjoy coming into spending time in—then reward yourself with a snack from the company kitchen. You know, the one down the hall. READ MORE AT

increase in backups and blockages in the town’s sanitary sewer system and collection network, which can pose a risk to the town’s wastewater management system and require costly repairs, both for homeowners and the town. Although many socalled “disposable” hand wipes are advertised as being safe for flushing, in reality, they regularly cause backups in the sanitary sewer system and contribute to buildups of foreign materials.

Hellebore flowers are a sure sign of spring Hellebores are one of the first to peek through the cold ground in late March and are the perfect cure for cabin fever. No matter what winter throws at this hardy plant – even being flattened by frost and snow – they are revived with the first warm rays of sunshine. The flowers will last from late March to May. Hellebores are a great shade plant, that basically remain evergreen. The easiest and most popular are the Oriental hybrid hellebores. There common name is Lenten Rose because they bloom around the beginning of Lent. These long-blooming, low-maintenance, basically-evergreen perennials can tolerate dry shade and can flower before the snow melts away completely. Colors and flower shape: Hellebores come in almost any shade you would want: green, pink, white, apricot, purple, yellow and

deep purple (which looks black), just to name a few. Breeders can not create a true blue or true red but they are working on it. Not only do they come in solid colors but they are available with picotee edges (colors different form the rest of the flower) or veining to adorn the outside of the bloom. On the inside they can even have spotting or a dark center that will draw your eye. The shape of the flower can also vary, from single, to double and star-shaped flowers – even one that looks

like something between a single and a double. When purchasing your plant, look for colors that are unmuddied by too much green in the flower, unless they are

green by design. If the flower is veined, picotee, or even spotted, the markings should be the same on all petals.

Exposure: Hellebores can tolerate almost full sun to almost full shade, but they prefer partial shade. Dense shade can reduce flower production. Soil: Hellebores enjoy neutral to slightly-acidic soils. Find a spot that's not too wet. This can encourage rot. Planting depth: The crown should be just covered by soil, just like peonies. Planting hellebores too deep inhibits flower production. Care: Hellebores will thrive with yearly application of well-rotted compost to encourage strong growth. It’s okay if you forget and skip a year or two. In late January or early February, or when you can see the plants (after the snow melts) remove last year’s foliage for a better look at the flowers.

When it comes to window replacement, there are too many myths floating around and not nearly enough facts.

40 off BUY ONE, GET ONE

Myth #1: “Vinyl windows are the best solution.”

It depends on who you call. Renewal by Andersen is the full service window replacement division of 116-year-old Andersen Corporation, the most trusted family of window brands in America³.
