Meriden BOE notifies state of possible break with ACES By Mary Ellen Godin Record-Journal staff
MERIDEN — Local school administrators said Tuesday they can operate Edison Magnet Middle School at no cost to participating districts, instead of the $5,643 per pupil now charged by Area Cooperative Educational Services, or ACES.
The Meriden Board of Education voted unanimously Tuesday to send letters to state Department of Education Commissioner Miguel Cardona and legislators notifying them that the district is exploring the financial viability of operating Edison for school year 2021-22. The move extends the dis-

In wake of Floyd’s killing, protestors take to the streets Record-Journal staff
The May 25 death of George Floyd, an unarmed black man, at the hands of the Minneapolis Police Department has sparked nationwide protests. Across the U.S. – and right in our own backyard – citizens have taken to the streets to show support for the Black Lives Matter movement and to stand against racism. In North Haven, a peaceful protest was held on the Town Green on June 6. The event drew See Protestors, A7

The no-cost tuition could attract more participation from other cities and towns, Benigni said. ACES representatives could not be reached for comment Tuesday, but have said in the past they had hoped to continue their partnership with Meriden Public Schools. The cooperative also informed parents in January there could be some changes, and although the magnet school will continue, it might not be at the Meriden location. Edison is also in need of a $2 million roof repair that also needs to be considered when negotiating a possible end to the partnership, Benigni said. The school cost $48 million to build in 2000. “We do have a space need between Lincoln and Washington,” said Board President Robert Kosienski Jr. “None of us are willing to go to the city and ask for $75 million for a new middle school. There is no reason Meriden cannot use that facility.”

Meriden Public Schools began researching its options in December, soon after discovering a middle school enrollment bubble at both Lincoln and Washington middle schools. Meriden currently sends 520 students to Edison.

The district, which owns Edison Middle School, had a five-year contract with ACES.

This decision was made due to the risks associated with COVID-19. This is a decision that came with much thought and consideration as we very much wanted to give our children the availability of the camp experience. It was determined that the risks were too great making camp operationally unattainable.

more than 200 people. North Haven First Selectman Michael J. Freda, and many others, addressed the crowd. “We denounced the tragedy and atrocity of George Floyd being killed,” Freda said. “It was open to those in attendance to speak. Everything was civil. There was some emotional speeches. Overall, it was handled very well. Our police department also made a statement denouncing the brutality of what happened to Mr. George Floyd.” Freda said the event was organized by North Haven citizens. “I was happy to speak,” the first selectman said. “I’m involved in a lot of state agencies including the statewide law enforcement panel and the police chiefs association. I know that every police chief in the State of Connecticut denounced that type of brutality. I was happy to be able to express my opinion and I was also happy to be able to step back and listen to everyone else’s opinion.” The North Haven Police Department released a statement earlier this month, writing, in part: “We share in the anger many in our community and across the country are feeling about the death of George Floyd. Unfortunately, the actions in Minnesota erode the layers of trust, confidence and goodwill that so many police officers have built in the community. Every person deserves to be treated with dignity and respect, this is the foundation of our profession. Any violation of these core tenets is inexcusable.” In Middlefield, a few dozen people came out for a Rally for Racial Equity and Love in front of the Community Center.
man Laura Francis and Regional School District 13 Superintendent Kathryn Serino released earlier this month. “Our message conveys our strong and unwavering commitment to peace and unity in our schools and towns and our outrage and lack of tolerance for racism and violence, including the actions that led to the killing of George Floyd,” the statement reads. “Our stance is grounded in what is right, what it means to be human, what it means to protect human rights. Racism is a human rights issue and not a political one. [W]e will continue to take action towards equity and awareness of ourselves and others against racism and violence. Violent protesting will never be supported in our schools or towns. We are living in a time when our collective concern for eachother can contribute to the healing and sustaining of well-being in our communities.”
In Durham, Laura Francis reported that some 200 people attended a peaceful protest, and that an 8.5-mile march in town was scheduled to take place Thursday, June 25. In Plainville, a Unity March drew hundreds of attendees. Resident Sarah Doyle helped spearhead the gathering.
“I’ve never organized any type of rally, or march, or protest in the past,” said Doyle, who worked with fellow Plainville resident Monique Jones-Pelletier to pull the Unity March together. “It’s one of those things: Be the change you want to see in the world. So if I don’t want my little community to be silent, then I need to be the person to speak up.” The Plainville Police Department showed its solidarity with the marchers. “Chief (Matthew) Catania was incredibly supportive,

and he spoke at the rally. He marched with us. I think that was a very substantial gesture on the part of the Plainville Police Department, and I know it was very well-received by our community,” said Doyle.

“We were not expecting so many people,” they said, “but were extremely elated to see how many people came out that day to fight against the injustice in our country.” In Southington, hundreds marched around downtown after resident Joseph Goding called for the assembly on social media.
In Cheshire, a Prayer Vigil for Peace, Justice and Love was hosted by the First Congregational Church of Cheshire. “I attended this vigil simply as a very concerned citizen of the Cheshire community,” said Ron Kochman. He was concerned about human rights, but his 93-year-old mother’s comments also pressed him to attend. Kochman explained his mother, who is Jewish, was born in Berlin, Germany in 1926. “She was lucky and escaped Nazi holocaust,” he said. Kochman described a phone

conversation he recently had with his mother. He said she was quite worried after watching news about George Floyd and the events in Washington, D.C.’s Layfayette Park. He quoted his mother as saying, “I can’t believe what’s happening in this country. I thought I was
done with this hatred and police state tactics ... Are we seeing the end of our free country?” “If that isn’t reason enough to attend this vigil I don’t know what would be,” Kochman said. Also in Cheshire, hundreds turned out for a Black Lives Matter March organized by Cheshire High School seniors and other students. Breina Schain said she attended along with several
members of the Cheshire Democratic Town Committee and “was there to support the students (and) share my outrage at the killing of George Floyd and at racism or inequality in general.”
“They voiced their opinion on certain issues. We at the police department defend their right to protest,” the chief said. “It’s a First Amendment right.”
In Wallingford, a protest was organized by a group of high school students, who declined to identify themselves publicly, saying they feared retaliation. They said in a statement following the protest that they received

Meriden resident Michael Valentin said he was surprised by the turnout and hopes it will unite and inspire people to work on bettering themselves, especially police. “This is history right now … this is our history, that we get to tell our children,” he said.

Officials urge more COVID-19 testing as businesses reopen
“Those are statistics but one death to the people involved, that’s a tragedy,” said the Republican, during a news conference with Democratic Gov. Ned Lamont and Lt. Gov. Susan Bysiewicz at the Community Health Center of New Britain. Petit also advised that residents continue to wear masks, avoid tightly confined areas with little air flow, practice social distancing and frequently wash their hands.
Return-to-work benefit Lamont said last week he’s willing to consider a proposal to pay workers a $450 stipend to return to work, an idea supported by President Donald Trump’s top economic advisor and some congressional Republicans. “I’m doing everything I can to encourage people to get back to work and make sure that they can do it safely,” he said. “If they can’t do it safely and they don’t feel like they can do it safely, they’ll be reluctant to go back.” New statistics released Thursday, June 18 by the Department of Labor show the state gained 25,800 net jobs in May, after losing 269,200 jobs in April due to the pandemic. Andy Condon, director of the agency’s Office of Research, called the latest figures “the beginnings of a recovery” of those historic losses from April.
Lamont reiterated on June 18 he would prefer the federal government provide the state with grant money to help replenish Connecticut’s unemployment compensation fund rather than extend the extra $600 a week FederWednesday, June 17 test results represented the lowest al Pandemic Unemployment Compensation benefit.

Plainville state Rep. William Petit, a retired endocrinologist, said he believes there’s currently “less motivation” for people living in Connecticut to get tested, given the state’s declining numbers of infections, deaths and hospitalizations. But he said residents should still be wary about the novel coronavirus.

Fishbein filed complaint vs. potential challenger By Lauren Takores Record-Journal staff
Schlorff renewed his website as the organization “Schlorff for Connecticut” and posted a statement on his political platform. He also identified himself as a candidate on his LinkedIn page.
WALLINGFORD — Republican state Rep. Craig Fishbein filed a complaint in April against a potential Democratic challenger to his seat. Fishbein, who represents parts of Wallingford and Cheshire in the 90th District, alleges in his complaint to the State Elections Enforcement Commission that the Rev. Dr. Daniel Rodriguez Schlorff, then of Cheshire, announced his candidacy but didn’t create a candidate committee within 10 days as legally required. The Record-Journal obtained a copy of the April 8 complaint through a Freedom of Information Act request. At a meeting May 20, the commission determined it was necessary to investigate the alleged violation, according to the minutes. No further action has been tak-

en on the case. In his complaint, Fishbein included a screenshot of a Facebook post from March 26 on a page called “Daniel Schlorff, Democrat for Connecticut,” which identified Schlorff as a Democratic candidate for state representative in the 90th District with a Cheshire address. “I'm making this soft announcement to you today: I will indeed run for CT State Representative this November,” the post stated in part. “To qualify for public funds, I will be asking residents in my district (House District 90) for $5-10 donations after I officially file.”
Move out of Cheshire
“I will be suspending my campaign today, and in an hour or so, I will hide this page,” the post stated.
Schlorff said Monday that he disagrees with the assessment that the Facebook post was an announcement of his candidacy.
Schlorff said that Fishbein was informed of the move soon after the complaint was filed, which Fishbein disputes.
“I think it was saying that I’m just asking my friends to consider donating, if and when I qualify to run, and if and when I qualify for public funding,” he said, adding that he updated his website because it was time to renew the domain.
“I had no idea that he had moved out of the district,” Fishbein said Monday.
Schlorff said he broke up with his partner and moved out of Cheshire on April 5, a date he recalled because it was Palm Sunday, rendering his campaign over before it started. A post on Schlorff’s Face-

There’s no clear penalty in the law for violating the 10day rule, according to Joshua Foley, SEEC staff attorney. In general, he said, the commission has broad remedial powers to affect remedy on a case by case basis. They can levy a fine of up to $2,000 per offense, issue cease and desist orders or refer criminal matters to the state attorney’s office.
Fishbein said he filed the complaint after “a lot of people” reached out to inform ‘No home, no job’ him that Schlorff hadn’t Schlorff, who has not had complied with the rules. permanent housing since He said that he hasn’t leaving Cheshire, is currently looked into whether a SEEC complaint can be with-

Southington council to hold hearing about Columbus statue
The Christopher Columbus monument in front of the John Weichsel Municipal Center in Southington.
By Jesse Buchanan Record-Journal staff
Dave Zajac, Record-Journal
SOUTHINGTON — Town leaders want to hear residents’ opinions on the Christopher Columbus statue in front of the John Weichsel Municipal Center at a public hearing next month. Chris Palmieri, a Democrat and Town Council minority leader, suggested the public hearing. His idea was unanimously approved Monday night by the council, which has a Republican majority.
“We’ve received a lot of communication from the public. It’s not unique to our community,” Palmieri said. “I think it’s important to offer the public an opportunity to speak for or against the statue.” Councilors said they prefer not to vote on the statue on the night of the public hearing, scheduled for July 13 at 7 p.m. Michael DelSanto, a council Republican, said he’d like to just “listen, learn and digest” without taking
action that night. The council unanimously approved the placement of a Columbus bust in front of the Municipal Center on North Main Street in 2015. When the bust was set to be erected two years later, some residents protested. Local ItalianAmerican civic groups raised the money for the bust. Four people spoke about the statue during public comment Monday, two for keeping the statue and two for moving it.
Susan Zabohonski questioned why the council was again spending time on the issue. She also predicted that

He lost his job a month after moving out of Cheshire, he said. He was the associate chaplain at Masonicare Health Center and was laid off May 7. Masonicare officials confirmed that Schlorff is no longer an employee, but did not comment on the specifics of his employment termination. “I couch-surfed after that, having no home and having no job,” Schlorff said. He’s currently a non-stipendiary pastor at Faith Tapestry Community Church in New Haven, which he began five years ago as an LGBTQ+ outreach and became a church officially on March 28.

“It’s almost inflammatory in my opinion, causing a divide in the community,” she said. “My concern is it just keeps coming up over and over and over again.” Anna Terrill started an online petition to remove the statue from public property. She said Monday that there wasn’t enough time to elaborate on Columbus’ atrocities against Caribbean natives. She said recent events have caused “many to reconsider our relationship with our history.” “It’s on public property and I don’t feel it represents the spirit of our town,” Terrill said.
