Lawmakers have their say on marijuana legalization This week, Connecticut became the 19th state to legalize adult, recreational use of cannabis. Democratic Gov. Ned Lamont signed the bill into law Tuesday, June 22.

Area police officers participate in Special Olympics Torch Run By Lauren Sellew Record-Journal staff

Police officers from around the state participated in the 35th annual Special Olympics Torch Run last week. On Thursday, June 17 the torch was passed through North Haven, Wall-

ingford and Meriden. “It’s nice because it brings unity and togetherness,” Meriden Police Chief Roberto Rosado said as he prepared to participate in the run with members of his department. “We are united and come together to serve

not ourselves but to serve others and it’s important.” Meriden officers received the torch from Wallingford police on Route 5 just before 11 a.m. on June 17. The Wallingford crew carried the torch from the North Haven

The Senate approved the legislation – An Act Concerning Responsible and Equitable Regulation of Adult-Use Cannabis – Thursday, June 17 on a 16 to 11 vote. Four Democrats joined all the Republicans in attendance in opposition. Nine senators were absent for the vote, including Republican Paul Cicarella, who represents the communities of Durham, East Haven, North Haven and Wallingford. North Haven’s other representative in the senate, Democrat Martin Looney, voted in favor of the bill. Beginning July 1, people age 21 and older will be allowed to possess and consume marijuana. Also, the law lays the groundwork for a new cannabis industry in the state and attempts to address racial inequities stemming from the nation’s war on drugs. “We had a chance to learn from others, and I think we’ve got it right here in the state of Connecticut,” said Lamont, referring to the multiyear effort to finally pass a legalization bill during a ceremony at the state capital.

caricature of the mascot but not the name. In July, the BOE is expected to vote on whether to retire the name as well. The DTC’s resolution states: “The North Haven Demo-

Kathy Grant, chair of the DTC, stated, "The North Haven Democratic Town Committee stands in solidarity with Native Americans and Connecticut tribal organizations to end the Republican Rep. William Petit, who serves as the Ranking Member of the Public Health Committee, voted no as well. Petit, who is a doctor, said he had various public health concerns with the bill as written. "As this bill impacts public health, I would have thought myself and other members of the Public Health Committee would have had an opportunity to weigh in on something as important as the legalization of marijuana," said Petit, who repre-

It used to be 3 to 5 percent and now it can be in excess of 10 percent and sometimes as high as thirty percent.

The final legislation headed to the Senate after passing the House of Representatives on a 76-62 vote on Wednesday, June 16. In the House, North Haven representative Dave Yaccarino, a Republican, was a no vote.

"To honor the request and dignity of the native tribes and in support of all students’ mental health and education, The North Haven Democratic Town Committee therefore resolves and recommends the immediate retirement of both the North Haven Indians name and Native imagery, and the selection of a new mascot that can unite the town."

practice of using the name 'Indians' or imagery associated with tribal nations. While the Indians name and mascot were always intended to be an honorary gesture by the North Haven school district, there is evidence about the negative impact on both Native and non-Native American students of using the Indians name and imagery as a mascot. The school district must act to protect the rights of all students and provide an education where all students feel safe and welcomed at school. Now is the right time to change the name and begin a new tradition that reflects inclusiveness in our community."

Similarmente, un estudio llevado a cabo en California y Texas, presentó que los trabajadores de cuidado médico que completaron su vacunación son 25 veces menos propensos a salir positivo al COVID-19 que aquellos que no se han vacunado. La información de diferentes estudios en otros países dice que las personas que se vacunan con Pfizer-BioNTech y desarrollan el COVID-19 tienen menos carga viral que las personas no vacunadas. Esta observación puede indicar transmisión reducida, porque la carga viral se ha identificado como el factor clave de la transmisión. Otros dos estudios del Reino Unido encontraron una posibilidad reducida significativa de la transmisión a contactos en el hogar de personas infectadas con el COVID-19 que ya habían sido vacunadas. En la prueba de Moderna, entre las personas que recibieron la primera dosis, el número de las personas que salieron positivas al COVID-19 en su cita para recibir la segunda dosis fue aproximadamente dos tercios más bajo entre los que recibieron la vacuna que los que recibieron el placebo (0.1% y 0.3%, respectivamente). Todavía no tenemos mucha información acerca de la vacuna de Johnson & Johnson, pero sí intenta reducir la transmisión significativamente. Más estudios están progresando para determinar los beneficios de la vacuna de Johnson & Johnson.

This time, even more than just the tennis Revived Filipek Tournament a restorative event for its director, players By Sean Krofssik Record-Journal staff

NORTH HAVEN — The return of the Wint Filipek Sr. Memorial Tennis Tournament was a success in its new home and for its new charity. The 17th annual event culminated in the championship matches Thursday evening, June 17 at Ridge Top Club in North Haven. The nine courts at the club were filled with doubles action. By the time the night was done, all 12 matches were decided and champions were crowned. The true winner was the tournament beneficiary, the Connecticut Chapter of the Alzheimer’s Association. Tournament director Wint Filipek said he plans on cutting a check in the neighborhood of $25,000 to the organization.

It’s a charity close to Filipek’s heart. His wife Margaret is afflicted with Alzheimer’s, and Filipek suspended his tournament while the couple coped with the ailment. “It’s our first time back in a few years and it’s a little bit smaller this year,” Filipek said. “I’m thinking about bringing it back next year as long as my wife is OK. I’m kind of back in a groove. I know people come out here and have a good time.” Filipek was overjoyed with the weather, the field and the competition. For the first time in the tournament history, all finals were completed by the last day of the event. But this year’s tournament was about more than tennis. Filipek said seeing so many familiar faces was uplifting to him.

one to come for the finals. I got a bunch of emails back saying they can’t make it, but they are so glad the tournament is back. “People come from all over the state and say how much they love the tournament.” Filipek was particularly excited about his two oldest grandsons, Benjamin and Zachary, playing in the Men’s C Doubles division. At this point, all signs point to the tournament returning next year. Ridge Top Club

would be open to hosting again and, Filipek added, that Connecticut Chapter of the Alzheimer’s Association would likely be the benefiting charity again. Michele Klimczak, the president of the Ridge Top Club Board of Directors, said the club was thrilled to host the event. “We’re excited to see our courts busy,” Klimczak said. “We were happy to donate our hosting fee back to the tournament. We weren’t going to take anything. Wint is

very generous and we know the money is going right to the (Connecticut Chapter of the Alzheimer’s Association).

Ridge Top opened up on Memorial Day for the first time since 2019 and does not typically host large tennis tournaments.

“It was our pleasure to do this,” she added. “This is what everyone needed after the pandemic.”

The Filipek, meanwhile, has continued its tradition of giving out scholarships to high school seniors in central Connecticut.

MONEY MATTERS: How to get savvy about investing to be. If you’re new to investing, know that it all starts with financial literacy – understanding the basics. Here’s a primer: Study common investment terminology. The stock market is rife with complex concepts, so start by getting a grasp of the frequently used terms and concepts. It helps to understand the language of investing, from asset allocation to ETF and beyond. To break it all down, use an online investment dictionary that provides plain-English definitions of common investment terms, or ask your financial advisor to explain them to you. Enroll in a class. Take advantage of free webinars, seminars or workshops on investing fundamentals. If you prefer learning in a classroom setting, look for basic courses on investing, how the stock market works or personal finance at a local college or university. Follow the news. Start following the business and financial sections of your favorite media outlet to get a healthy dose of investment know-how. You’ll begin to

understand the types of business activities that influence the marketplace — for example, oil prices or new housing starts — and gain an appreciation for what’s considered newsworthy. As you become more attuned to global markets, you’ll start to see the ripple effect of mergers and acquisitions, product innovations and even frontpage news stories — from natural disasters to general elections and terrorist events — on Wall Street confidence. Watch investment programs. Public radio and television stations often feature investment programs aimed at new and seasoned investors. Even your local news channels may include a market segment. Be wary of infomercials disguised as informational investment programs, though. Check out stock market apps. There are hundreds of apps available today focused on helping consumers understand investing. Before downloading an app, check the reviews and opt for those that have been vetted by trusted sources.

SUDOKU

Track your favorite companies. To better understand the movement of individual stocks, pick several of your favorite publicly traded companies to follow. Then, check their stock price, company newsroom and social media accounts each day. Tracking the stocks over time will help you understand how company announcements and actions, such as a product launch or comment by an executive, may affect the stock price. Work with a financial professional. A professional can help you understand your investment options, and help you make financial decisions that are best for your individual needs. Work with someone who is willing to explain investment concepts and provide educational materials. Tell the professional about your desire to learn more about the market. He or she will likely be willing to send you news articles, add you to a newsletter or give you a call to discuss market news that may interest you.

"All residents, but especially those at high risk, should seek a cool place and drink plenty of fluids if they begin to feel sick or dizzy as a result of the high temperatures, and refrain from any unnecessary strenuous activity in the hot weather,” Januszewski said.

Wear loose-fitting, lightweight, light-colored clothing. Avoid dark colors because they absorb the sun’s rays.
