Eco-friendly coffee shop opens

Clean Energy Task Force seeks members

By Faith Williams Record-Journal staff

With the “light at the end of the tunnel” in view regarding the pandemic, we all can begin to focus on the greatest threat to our children, grandchildren, and future generations – the growing threat of climate change. How can we as local residents make an impact reducing this threat – and at the same time save money and create jobs and businesses through a clean energy economy?

NORTH HAVEN — A recent college graduate has opened an eco-friendly coffee shop, combining her passions for business and the environment. North Haven resident Montana Telman, 23, worked in several fields before opening crossroads., 1878 Hartford Turnpike, on April 1. She worked in coffee shops during college and after being out of work because of the pandemic she decided to try her own business. “There’s nothing in this area like this,” Telman said. “If you live over here and you want coffee you have to go down to Washington Avenue...”

Paul D’Amico, a North Haven resident, found out about the new shop on Facebook. “It’s nice to have something different,” he said. “North Haven has a lot, but it needed a small coffee shop in this area.”

This effort addresses a crucial public safety and public health issue.

National Drug Take Back Day is April 24 The DEA National Drug Take Back Day is Saturday, April 24.

One way is to become a member of the North Haven Clean Energy Task Force. As a town-sponsored task force, we work closely with town officials to promote and provide opportunities for energy conservation and clean energy. We have had many successes, including:

jority of misused prescription drugs were obtained from family and friends, often from the home medicine cabinet. The DEA’s Take Back Day events provide an opportunity for Americans to prevent drug addiction and overdose deaths. Nearby, take-back events will be held from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Guilford, Cheshire and New Haven police departments.

If you can't attend an April 24 takeback, prescription drugs can be disposed of safely at home. Unused and expired medications should be mixed with an unpalatable substance such as dirt, cat litter or used coffee grounds. Place the mixture into a container such as a sealed plastic bag and throw it away with your household trash. See Drugs, A2

Remember to scratch out all personal information on the prescription label of your empty pill bottle or empty medication packaging to make it unreadable, then dispose of the container. By taking these medication disposal steps you are helping unused and expired medication from getting to the hands of people they were not prescribed to.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (NY-14) to reintroduce the Green New Deal. “I would like to applaud all of the advocates, especially all of the young activists who have been at the forefront of this fight against climate change. That's why I’m proud to join Rep. Ocasio-Cortez in introducing the Green New Deal and theCivilian Climate Corps for Jobs and Justice Act. This will allow us to put teeth into a movement and provide an opportunity for the government to work hand in glove with advocates for a cleaner, safer planet,” said See Lawmakers, A12

Letters to the Editor Supports Slate Editor : I am writing in support of the proposed land use of 5100 Ridge Road as the Slate Upper School. We are 20-year residents of the Blue Hills Neighborhood and a near neighbor to Slate School, and have eagerly watched the success and the positive

cultural, environmental and educational impact of Slate School in our community. We have also attended – and personally benefited from – the educational programs Slate School has generously offered to community members. The existing Slate School campus has proven to be a beautiful compliment to the Blue Hills

Neighborhood, lending a peaceful and gracious learning environment to inquisitive young minds. I would expect the same great care for civic and environmental stewardship in the planning for this new phase, and strongly encourage your support for the establishment of Slate Upper School at 5100 Ridge Road.

EDITORIAL

Growth and more growth for Amazon facilities It’s growth and more growth for Amazon facilities in Wallingford and North Haven, and that’s good news for both the tax bases and the employment pictures in those towns. Plans for a third Amazon facility in Wallingford, on the site of the demolished Bristol-Myers Squibb complex on Research Parkway, have taken another step forward. On April 7, after receiving reports from outside experts and holding three hours of discussion, the Inland Wetlands and Watercourses Commission voted unanimously to approve the application to build a 219,000-squarefoot delivery station and a 715-space parking lot. That kind of massive scale will certainly be a shot in the arm for Wallingford’s tax base, which is still suf-

fering from the loss of Bristol-Myers Squibb. And Amazon will be an even bigger draw for job seekers in the area. North Haven First Selectman Michael Freda attributed that town’s 9.3 percent 2019 grand list growth, among the largest in the state, largely to the Amazon fulfillment center that opened there that year. Wetland considerations were key on the 180-acre Wallingford site, which contains 33 acres of wetlands. The plan would create about 45.2 acres of impervious surface area, which means hard surfaces such as pavement and roofs, which water cannot penetrate. The plan is now before the Planning and Zoning Commission.

Amazon already operates a sortation center nearby on Research Parkway and Amazon Logistics operates a warehouse and distribution center on South Cherry Street that opened last year. Amazon also employs 5,500 people in North Haven, and Freda said the global shipping giant is planning on a $13 million expansion of that facility. While some residents may complain about the noise and air pollution from heavy trucks serving the Amazon facilities — as has been the case in East Hartford and South Windsor — Amazon spokeswoman Katelyn Richardson told the Journal Inquirer of Manchester that the $1.7 trillion company takes this type of feed-

back seriously, as their goal is to be a good community neighbor. Many small business owners surveyed have said they viewed Amazon as a threat to their bottom line and growth opportunities. However, Forbes magazine has reported that close to half of all annual Amazon sales are those of small businesses. Whatever the long-term effect, the combination of more tax revenue and more jobs makes Amazon just about irresistible to a great many towns here and across the country. This editorial was originally printed in the Record-Journal.

State to phase out most mandates on businesses By Susan Haigh and Pat Eaton-Robb Associated Press

ENTER TO WIN FREE

Connecticut plans to phase out many COVID-19 restrictions affecting businesses next month, including long-shuttered bars, while keeping the mandatory indoor maskwearing rules in place for now, Democratic Gov. Ned Lamont announced Lamont on Monday. The announcement came as the state surpassed 8,000 COVID-associated deaths. Beginning May 1, outdoor restrictions will be lifted on businesses, such as maskwearing when social distancing can’t be observed. Also, the rule that alcohol can’t be served without food will be lifted, essentially allowing outdoor bar service.

Additionally, table seating outdoors will no longer be limited to eight people and business curfews will be moved back from 11 p.m. to 12 a.m., giving restaurants an opportunity to have a second seating and putting Connecticut on course with New York.

the state will issue guidance but it will essentially be left up to the businesses to decide what COVID safety measures to maintain.

INSTAGRAM.COM/ RECORDJOURNAL

“I think businesses have all the freedom in the world to do everything they can to give their customers confidence, 100% confidence. And if they want to have a mask requirement, if they want to say, ‘I want people to get tested,’ if they want to say, ‘vaccinations,’ that’s up to the business. That’s up to the venue,” Lamont said. “What we have is a set of minimum requirements, which I think are necessary to keep the state of Connecticut safe.” Meanwhile, indoor bars that don’t serve food will also be allowed to reopen on May 19, but patrons will still need to wear masks when they’re not drinking. Lamont said he needs to work with state lawmakers to determine whether that rule should be mandated or whether it should be guidance issued by the state. Lamont’s executive authority is set to expire on May 20 and efforts are underway to determine which of his executive orders should be extended or set in law. Lamont stressed that the plan to lift the business restrictions could change if the state’s relatively low infection rate and continued improvements in vaccination rates change. As of Monday, 1.1 million residents had been fully vaccinated. That figure accounts for 61% of people 18 years and older. Meanwhile, the state continues to see more infections. There were 2,700 more reported since Friday, April 16 while the number of hospitalizations increased by eight to 494. The number of deaths increased by 19 to a total of 8,014.

Pandemic may lead to long-term changes in school calendar

“We really have to use this opportunity, which is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, to really shake up how we think about student learning,” said Matt Geary, Manchester’s school superintendent. “Students don’t only learn from 8:30 to 3:00, Monday to Friday. There’s a lot of other opportunities that potentially create more beneficial situations for students and families.”

Secretaries Dael Szypulski, top, and Catherine Vega, bottom right, decorated their office window with a “We Miss You” message to students at Casimir Pulaski Elementary School in Meriden, seen here on May 5, 2020. Dave Zajac, Record-Journal

Hartford Mayor Luke Bronin said it’s important that officials creating new learning programs make sure they address the social losses stu-

dents have suffered and put them in situations, especially during the summer, that bring some joy and fun to learning. Gov. Ned Lamont has already announced his intention to use $10.7 million in previous federal funding to

CT House passes bill ending religious vaccine exemption By Susan Haigh Associated Press

The Connecticut House of Representatives passed a contentious bill early Tuesday that would end the state’s long-standing religious exemption from immunization requirements for schools, beginning with the 2022 school year. The 90-53 vote in the Democratic-controlled chamber came just before 3 a.m. after more than 16 hours of de-

bate. The bill now heads to the Senate, which is also controlled by Democrats. About a half-hour before approving the legislation, lawmakers passed an amendment that would allow students who are now exempt from immunizations because of religious reasons to continue to be exempt. The House approval was largely among party lines, with heavy opposition from See Exemption, A29

Ned Lamont said Monday he’s ready to sign the bill into law. “We have learned over and over again over the last six months that vaccinations work, vaccinations keep me safe, keep you safe, keep my classrooms safe and prevent replications of other variants out there,” he said. “So it’s really important.”

“Vaccine hesitancy is becoming a direct and serious threat to the public health,” he said. “It demands a proactive approach, not a reactive one. ... We need to act and act before we have an epidemic, an epidemic that we can prevent.” Roughly 7,600 children in grades K-12 currently have religious exemptions in Connecticut.

3BIG MYTHS WINDOW REPLACEMENT

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.”

Myth #2: “Window replacement is difficult.”

Myth #3: “All warranties are the same.”

Fibrex® composite material is two times stronger than vinyl and makes for stunningly beautiful windows with a durable finish that, unlike vinyl, won’t peel, crack or fade².

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.

As both the manufacturer and installer of your windows, Renewal by Andersen gives you both product and labor coverage². As a homeowner, you get absolute peace of mind.
