WHARTON BROOK STATE PARK
Volunteers of all ages are sought for a Quinnipiac River Watershed Association cleanup scheduled for Saturday, Sept. 11, from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. Volunteers will meet at QRWA Headquarters, 540 Oregon Road, Meriden. QRWA will provide trash bags, gloves and refreshments, and guides will be on-site with instructions and a list of key locations that need cleaning. Regularly-held QRWA cleanups began in the 1990s and became semi-annual in the early 2000s. In a positive sign, cleanups have pulled in smaller hauls in recent years. "In the early years we estimated about a ton at each event because of a lot of metal that was pulled out of the river, and now we estimate about 500 to 1,000 pounds per event," David James, longtime watershed association president, said back in April. Some odd items that volunteers have plucked out of the See Cleanup, A2

Juvenile crime was a focus for House Republicans headed into the 2021 legislative session. The session, however, ended without substantial progress in reforming juvenile justice laws.
Altogether, the length of the Quinnipiac River is 45 miles, and its watershed is home to more than 200,000 people. — Citizen report
Amid a turbulent period of juvenile crime activity across the state, which included an attempted shooting of a Glastonbury homeowner by car thieves, the death of a man jogging in New Britain, auto thefts on the rise in North Haven, and several other serious crime instances that prompted contentious town hall meetings with residents seeking answers and House Republicans petitioning for a special legislative session. The Republican proposals can be found at stopcarthefts.com. Republicans are asking members of the two Democratic legislative caucuses to sign their petition, initiate a special session and begin debate on these proposals.

MONEY MATTERS
Budgeting and financial planning are not the same By Jeff Jolly
Budgeting and financial planning are two terms that are easily confused. Both apply to personal finances and both are activities that can help you be financially successful now and in the future. Yet, while the two go hand-in-hand, they are not the same. Here are ways they differ and how they can work together to help you accomplish your goals. Budgeting sets guardrails for your spending. The goal of budgeting is to help people live within their means. A budget predetermines

how much you can spend during a certain length of time based on your actual income. Individuals who follow a budget are better equipped to avoid overspending. To create your budget, you divide your income across your expenses for a given timeframe. This timeframe is typically tied to your pay schedule, whether that be weekly, biweekly or monthly. Fixed expenses, such as rent and childcare, take priority. After accounting for fixed expenses, spending parameters are set for necessities that vary in cost, such as food, transportation and clothing. Remaining dollars can be allocated for discretionary spending, such as

The purpose of a financial plan is to formulate action steps to help you afford your life goals. It charts your course to reach milestones, such as homeownership, starting a family, higher education and retirement.
Budgeting and financial planning work well together. Following a budget can help you manage your money and avoid debt, but a financial plan can help you achieve your long-term financial goals.

Lamont expects to keep in place school mask mandate By Pat Eaton-Robb Associated Press
Gov. Ned Lamont said Tuesday he has no plans yet to implement a statewide mask mandate, but does plan to keep in place the current requirement that face coverings be worn inside schools. Lamont said keeping children and teachers safe remains a top priority with the school year set to begin soon.
“I see some of the problems they are having in the southern states, where the kids are not wearing masks, where they’re forced to quarantine, where teachers are getting ill and we’re not going to let that happen, not in Connecticut,” Lamont said during an unrelated news conference in New Haven. Lamont’s executive order requiring masks in schools is set to expire with the rest of
his special executive powers Sept. 30.
said. “But I think that decision will be made on the state of the pandemic at the time we come in.”
But Martin Looney, the Democratic president pro tempore of the state Senate from New Haven, said lawmakers will meet next month to decide whether to extend those executive powers further, a move he said he would support.
Lamont said he’s also planning to meet with union leaders who represent nursing home workers to discuss whether to extend the deadline for getting those workers vaccinated.
“It could go, potentially, through the beginning of the session in February,” Looney
An executive order prevents nursing homes from employing anyone who has not
received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine by Sept. 7. Nursing home owners found in violation of the order face fines of $20,000 a day. Lamont said he prefers using incentives to mandates when it comes to convincing people to get vaccinated, but believes the effectiveness of concert ticket or cash giveaways may be waning.
Census shows Connecticut is becoming more diverse HARTFORD (AP) — While the majority of Connecticut residents are white, new U.S. Census data released last week shows the state is becoming more diverse, with the number of Hispanic residents having grown by approximately 30% over the last decade.
Cheri Quickmire, executive director of Common Cause of Connecticut, said the numbers show the importance of getting racially diverse input into the state’s redistricting process, which will rely on the new Census data when it works to redraw congressional and state legislative district lines. “We need processes that prioritize, I guess, hearing from diverse populations in a way that we haven’t done before,
and so we need to really think about how we can make that happen,” she said. “This needs to be a priority because if people’s voices aren’t heard, then it’s not going to make the mapmaking process as inclusive as it needs to be.” The eight members of the state’s Reapportionment Committee, all state legislators, met for the first time in April. They spoke of the challenge of reaching as many people as possible and holding public hearings in each of the state’s five congressional districts, given
ongoing concerns about COVID-19. Data released Thursday, Aug. 12 showed Connecti-
cut’s white population dropped from 77.6% in 2010 to 66.4% in 2020, while the See Census, A9

The state’s Hispanic population increased by 144,206 people from 2010 to 2020, while the white population declined by 377,282. There were increases in the number of people of mixed race, Asian, Black, native Ameri-

CIAC enlists student-athletes, state heavy hitters in vaccine push By Bryant Carpenter Record-Journal staff
“And volleyball” said the governor. “We’re doing everything we can to make NEW BRITAIN — Gov. Ned sure you’re going to be in Lamont mustered his best school and you’re going to Hank Williams Jr. impression be on the playing field at the at Tuesday’s CIAC press very start of the school year, conference at Veterans Staright through the school dium. year. “ARE YOU READY FOR SOME FOOTBALL?” Then he got a little lost in the seasons. “And some track?” He recovered to bring the main point home.
“We’ve got a little of bit of work to do,” added Lamont, who also formally announced on Tuesday that his standing mask mandate for K-12 students will continue through at least September. “I think you’ve heard a lot about vaccinations. Come on 12-to-15 year olds, come
on 15-to-17 year olds: Step up. We really need you to. It’s for your safety. It’s for your team and so no one has to step off the field.”
sen of the Connecticut State Medical Society, State. Rep. Bobby Sanchez of New Britain and the city’s mayor, Erin Stewart.
Lamont was one of the heavy hitters enlisted by the CIAC on Tuesday to further its push for Connecticut high school athletes to get vaccinated against COVID19.
The heavier hitters, arguably, were the studentathletes from New Britain and Bloomfield who flanked the politicos, as well as incoming Xavier senior Drew Kron, who took a turn at the microphone.
Next to Lamont was Lt. Gov. Susan Bysiewicz, the acting state commissioners of health and education, Deidre Gifford and Charlene Russell-Tucker, Dr. Carl Nis-
“We want to ensure we not only have a full season, but a normal school year,” Kron said. “Football games, homecoming, prom and other school events will be able to take place if we take the charge to get vaccinated. “To all my fellow studentathletes out there who have not been vaccinated yet, I encourage you sign up and stay in the game.” The CIAC staged Tuesday’s event one day after football FACEBOOK.COM/ RECORDJOURNAL NEWSPAPER TWITTER.COM/ RECORD_JOURNAL INSTAGRAM.COM/ RECORDJOURNAL

teams began conditioning and 10 days before all other fall sports start practice. As of now, all CIAC systems are a go for the fall season to start on time and be played in full, complete with state championships, including football. That said, the CIAC continues to hammer home its main message: the COVID19 vaccination is the best means of ensuring a full and safe 2021-22 academic and athletic school year. “We educate on that,” said CIAC Executive Director Glenn Lungarini. “We’re not mandating it, but we’re strongly encouraging it. We understand it’s a personal decision, but we do believe that’s the best strategy to keep our kids in the classroom and on the field.” The CIAC is making its push as COVID resurges with the Delta variant — a variant that has been affecting younger people more than the original virus. At Tuesday’s press conference, Lamont reported Connecticut’s daily positivity rate at 4.2 percent. It stands at 3.4 percent for the past seven days.

jays, European starlings and American robins, according to DEEP. Hummingbirds may also be affected and feeders for them should be taken down as well. The recommendation to take down bird feeders is out of a concern that the illness could be contagious and birds congregating at feeders and bird baths could act as places where it spreads.
