did that and he got back to us and now we’re here.”
WALLINGFORD — For three days Ryan “ARCY” Christenson, wellknown graffiti and mural artist, was back at his alma mater Sheehan High School painting a mural that describes what it means to be a Titan.
“My project was to renovate the aesthetics of Sheehan, to make it a more stimulating environment and through that I reached out to my art teacher for some help and some inspiration and she told me about ARCY and told me that I should reach out to him because she thought it would be a good idea to see if he could donate something to the school,” Aminawung said. “So I
Aminawung said ARCY’s idea for the mural was to include significant figures that students could look up to. She met with faculty to come up with a list of different figures and then created surveys to get student input.
Senior Clarisse Aminawung contacted ARCY, a North Haven resident, last year and asked him to
“Each person represents a certain academic field,” Aminawung said.
The QRWA Downriver Classic is now the longest continuous running canoe and kayak race going. Forty years is a long stretch and we won’t count the cancellation last year due to the COVID-19 pandemic, when just about everything was shut down. The QRWA Downriver Classic has a storied history thanks to the hard work by a few volunteers. For a number of years now, the race has been chaired by Dan Pelletier, a champion canoe racer in his own right.

The mural includes Maya Angelou, Martin Luther King Jr., Albert Einstein, Elon Musk and Serena Williams The mural painting was supposed to take place last year, but was postponed due to COVID-19. “Fortunately, (Clarisse) is still at the school now, she’s a senior, so we’re able to get her dream to come true before she finally leaves,” said Christenson, a 2005 Sheehan graduate and member of the Sheehan Hall of Fame. “I am happy to be able to get this in.”
About 30 students from Nicholas Brown’s homeworker and maintenance classes helped to build platforms for the mural and outdoor easels that pieces of the mural could be painted on. “I think it is pretty cool that someone world renown would come back and really

Aminawung said she hopes the mural “reaches the students’ hearts.” “Because he really did want a mural for the school that not only is dedicated for Sheehan but also has these significant figures that students can look up to and strive to work hard in their academics to become successful leaders like them,” Aminawung said.

Roberts From A1
I had a discussion with Dan before the race and he mentioned the hard work that is done before each race to insure a clean river with few, if any, obstacles to hinder the racers. I know what he is talking about. Years ago I was involved with getting the Quinnipiac River prepped for what is now the
present race course, starting at the State DOT parking lot on Route 322 (Meriden/Waterbury Road). A number of years ago it was decided to change the course to make it bit more interesting. Little did we know what a job it would be. Norm VanCor and a friend of his whose name I can’t remember took on the job of getting the race course ready. There were logjams everywhere and we had to remove them one-by-one

At that time, the race ended at the Meriden Lions Park meadow just above Red Bridge. Awards were given and QRWA member Pete Picone grilled hot dogs for the weary racers. But that was hardly the start of the QRWA Downriver Classic. It had its inception in Wallingford starting on Quinnipiac Street with a finish line down along Banton Street by the service station on the Merit Parkway. The race back then was on a much smaller scale than it is today, but that section of the river still required some manual maintenance by QRWA volunteers. This brings up a valid point.

would think that many of them would join the QRWA as a means of maintaining such a splendid natural resource. Look them up on your computer or give them a call at 203-237-2237. After a couple of years starting the race at Quinnipiac Street in Wallingford, it was decided to try a different course. This time the race would start just above Red Bridge, with a flat-water paddle across Hanover Pond and then a portage around Hanover Dam. The finish line was at the former Britannia Spoon Shoppe, now Westbrook Lobster. The very first race from this spot featured a mass start in the different classes and that really did not work out all that well. I won’t go into details on that. After that first race, though, they had some great races that still featured a flat-water paddle across Hanover Pond to Hanover Dam, which took a lot out of the paddlers.
of the Quinnipiac River that saw very little in the way of any type of water craft cruising through. It took you down under Main Street bridge in South Meriden, in back of St Laurent Cemetery, under the Oak Street bridge in Yalesville and down to the Britannia Spoon Shoppe. This course worked well for a couple of years until it was once again decided a new course was in order, and this is where it stands today: starting at the DOT parking lot on Route 322 and finishing at Red Bridge. A huge thanks to the Meriden Lions Club for restoring the bridge to its historic beauty. As I said earlier, I was talking to race chairman Dan Pelletier and he mentioned the hard work by a couple of QRWA volunteers that goes on before each race. Many canoe paddlers and kayakers use the Quinnipiac River during the year never realizing the work and care that has gone into making it a viable resource for recreation.

The 2021 race drew 51 racers, one of the largest numbers in recent years. I would venture to guess that many of them just wanted to get out into the great outdoors. The fastest time this year was recorded in the Long Kayak Division by Jerry Madore. He posted a time of 53 minutes and 49 seconds. In the Short Kayak Division, Paul Glasscock took first with a time of 1:05:28. In the Short Kayak Masters Division, Dennis Duggan was first in 1:11:28.

Girl Scouts, Daytime Gardeners team up
Letters
Girl Scouts in Troops 60387 and 60151, led by Lisa McCann, worked with the Daytime Gardeners of North Haven on a conservation project, planting a dozen white fir seedlings in an area adjacent to the Community Gardens at Peter’s Rock. Prompted by the National Garden Clubs’ Plant America with Trees: Each One Plant One program, the Daytime Gardeners ordered seedlings for their members and the Girls Scouts.
From A5
Editor : I wanted to share a heartwarming story about my dog, Javier, and my wonderful Ridge Road area neighbors.
The Scouts will continue to
water the seedlings frequently to give them a good start. The roots need to grow well this summer for the seedlings to survive the winter.
On Saturday, April 17, about a month after I adopted Javier, a little white poodle from Mexico, he escaped my yard when a lawn service worker propped the gate open to my fence and forgot to close it. Javier, in panic mode, was spotted running top speed up and down
Ridge Road and throughout the neighborhood between Ridge Road School, Windsor Road and Hartford Turnpike. I was terrified that he would be killed by a car as he ran in and out of these highly trafficked areas. It took a neighborhood and North Haven Animal Control four hours tracking and finally locating the little rascal on Crestwood Drive. So many neighbors, most I did not know, took time out of their day to help me. I am so grateful for everyone’s assistance finding my boy and returning him to me safe and sound. Janet Parkosewich

The Scouts were taught basic information about the white firs, how to plant and care for the tree, and the life cycle of conifers. After the discussion, the girls dug the holes, added some compost, planted the seedlings, and finished by watering and mulching.

Salvation Army preps for ‘above-normal’ hurricane season The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Climate Prediction Center is predicting another abovenormal Atlantic hurricane season. The Salvation Army Emergency Disaster Services is preparing as a part of its recurring initiatives in Southern New England. Regional teams in Connecticut are prepared to respond with immediate feeding, hydration, and other key resources utilizing response feeding vehicles (canteens) and have been provided instruction in COVID service guidelines during operations and distributions. “All of our local operations have been in disaster response mode since the pandemic began last year,” said Major Debra Ashcraft, Divisional Commander of The Salvation Army’s Southern New England Division. “As we continue to serve our
neighbors, we are also preparing our teams to be ready if storms should come our way. We certainly pray for peace and safety.” Salvation Army locations throughout Connecticut are available to prepare individual meals as well as support with bulk/shelf stable food product. This will enable The Salvation Army to support multiple housing and feeding options. Salvation Army locations are also preparing to support with emergency assistance needs such as clothing, hygiene kits, and clean-up kits as needed. “We are continuing to prepare our trained Disaster Response Teams,” said Chris Farrand, Regional Director of Emergency Disaster Services for The Salvation Army’s Southern New England and Massachusetts divisions.
“We are ready to respond locally as well as deploy to areas in the south, if needed. Our EDS teams are also well-prepared to apply CDC pandemic procedures in the event of a hurricane response.” The Salvation Army’s Emergency Disaster Services is continuing in conversation and planning with local, state and federal Emergency Management and is also prepared to stage assets and resources in locations near potential impact zones that can increase the speed and efficiency of mobilization.
Volunteer opportunities are available. Contact Katie Perrett, Volunteer Coordinator for The Salvation Army Southern New England Division: Kathryn.Perrett@ use.salvationarmy.org, 860702-0042.

We would like to thank Everyone for Voting us Best Music Store & Best Music School and Especially for your Support, Prayers, and Understanding during Mark’s unexpected Brain Surgery to remove a tumor. Your outpour of cards, gifts, and Facebook Posts of encouragement was overwhelming. Our Love goes out to all of you, for without your prayers and support this could have turned out so differently. Many of you have met our son, Michael, who was working the front end for the first week and together with Mary was able to adopt procedures to keep The Music Center of North Haven running smoothly. Your patience during The Music Center’s shortened hours and By Appointment, Only Plan was so appreciated! North Haven is a very Special Town! We are a community of caring citizens and truly understand the meaning of “We are all Connected”. May Spring be the start of great new beginnings, Love, and especially Health to all of you! God Bless you! With Deep Gratitude and Joyous Hearts!

MONEY MATTERS
Tips to cut costs at the gas pump By Jeff Jolly
Gas prices fell sharply at the beginning of the pandemic but have been rising steadily in recent months. Economists predict fuel costs to grow as we move into summer, spurred by warm weather and pent-up travel plans. Here are some ways you can make your gas budget go further even as gas prices rise. Look for the lowest price. The highest per-gallon prices are usually found at
gas stations in high-convenience areas, such as right off the highway. Before you gas up, check local fuel prices online or download an app that will alert you to the best deals in your area. If you belong to a warehouse club, take advantage of their fuel savings programs. You may only save pennies per gallon, but those pennies add up over time when you consider your total gas expenditures over an entire year.
and your tires aligned and properly inflated. A missing or broken gas cap can cause fuel inefficiency. Even choosing the right oil can help with engine performance, which affects your fuel economy.
Take the highway. Vehicle manufacturers provide different mile-per-gallon estimates between city and highway miles for a reason. Gas-powered engines perform more efficiently at moderately high, steady Maintain your car. Anything speeds (highway travel). that affects your car’s overall Cruise control on long performance can reduce fuel stretches of highway can help you maintain optimal efficiency. Keep your air filspeed, while speeding and ter clean, fluids topped off
sudden acceleration use extra fuel. Consider a more fuel-efficient vehicle. If you own a gas-guzzling car, it may be time for an upgrade. Fuel efficiency has increased significantly, with electric and hybrid vehicles offering the most savings at the pump. If you can’t afford the latest model, you might consider a smaller car. Lighter cars use less fuel. Drive less. A foolproof way to reduce your gas consumption is to keep your car parked. Plan ahead and eliminate unnecessary trips to the store. If you commute
to work, consider carpooling. In some instances, public transportation and rideshare services may be more economical than fueling up your own vehicle and paying for tolls and parking.

Democrats in the Democratic controlled chamber, attempted to strip some of the crimes from the bill where a person’s conviction records
would be erased. Each effort to amend the bill, however, narrowly failed. Under the legislation, eligible misdemeanors and felonies would be automatically erased after someone’s sentence has been completed and if they have not been convicted of any additional crimes for seven to 10 years, depending on whether they’re trying to get a misdemeanor or felony expunged. Convictions that occurred on or after Jan. 1, 2000 would be affected. Anyone convicted of offenses prior to that date would have to petition to have their offenses erased.

effect on Jan. 1, 2023. The governor has voiced some concern about the legislation and what crimes would be expunged.
Fishbein and other critics of the bill argued that people have the option to get their records expunged by going through the Connecticut Board of Pardons and Paroles, a process that would be more thorough and careful than the proposed automatic expungement. The process, they noted, also gives victims the opportunity to Stafstrom, however, said only about 3% of offenders go through the pardon process.
, but said Thursday he wanted to review the changes made to the bill, reiterating that he agrees with the bill’s intent to give people another chance.
“I urge my colleagues to think of those victims,” said Rep. Greg Howard, R-Stonington, a police detective. “And their silence on this issue is really loud because it just shows how beaten down they are and how much of an effect this has had on them that they can’t even come forward anymore to combat this bill.”
“Too many of the people who have served time seemingly serve time for the rest of their lives,” said Rep. Brandon McGee, D-Hartford, who spoke of his late father who had struggled If Lamont signs the bill into with finding a job after being law, the changes would take
Meanwhile, the House also approved additional changes to police procedures, such as a ban on “no-knock warrants,” which allow officers to enter a home without announcing their presence. Other states, including Oregon and Florida, outlawed these warrants after the 2000 fatal shooting of Breonna Taylor in her Louisville, Kentucky, home during a botched police raid. Stafstrom noted they are not currently used in Connecticut. The same legislation would also allow for an “adverse inference” to be made in a civil and criminal cases involving the police if an officer intentionally turns off their body camera.
