The Connecticut Education Association, which boasts more than 160 local affiliates, released its own school reopening guidelines last week.

It recommended delaying the start of school by two weeks or until mid-September to “to improve and expand remote learning.”

“Starting school in August with very high temperatures and humidity, no air conditioning in most classrooms, and trying to enforce maskwearing for five or more hours in those conditions is not practicable. Instead, use the time to refine and provide training for enhanced distance learning,” CEA’s Safe Learning Plan reads.

Rhode Island and Massachusetts recently decided to push the start of school back a couple of weeks, the plan notes.

CEA affiliates around the state include unions in Wallingford, Southington, Cheshire, Berlin, Plainville, North Haven, Middlefield and Durham. Teachers in See Unions, A3

Club From A1

“I want you to know that there is a ray of hope for reopening the club!” NHHR general manager Tricia Tagliatela said in an email.

“First Selectman Mike Freda and the officials of the Town of North Haven have always been gracious when dealing with NHHR. My family has offered to gift NHHR to the Town of North Haven.”

“There are a number of interested parties that would

Freda said he wants to help continue what the family has delivered for nearly a half century.

“As with many other family businesses, we have been hard-pressed to meet the competition of national chains,” Tagliatela continued. “COVID-19 added greatly to the strain.”

“My goal is that it is kept as a tennis facility, exercise facility and a facility that is open to the entire community,” the first selectman said.

“Whether it be for cardio, weightlifting, tennis, pickleball – whatever the activities that are there – it’s very important to me that it stays open to everybody.”

The Tagliatela’s and Freda plan to meet again soon.

“They have done a lot in terms of philanthropic work throughout the years and I want to help them get a positive outcome.”

The club has been in the family for 46 years.

“In 1974, my father, Louis F. Tagliatela Sr., was an enthusiastic tennis player,” Tricia Tagliatela said. “He was tired of driving to Derby to get a court. Being an entrepreneur, he decided to build an eight-court facility in North Haven where his friends and family could

Unions From A1

Meriden are represented by the American Federation of Teachers Connecticut, a statewide labor federation with more than 90 local unions throughout the state.

Lauren Mancini-Averitt, president of the Meriden Federation of Teachers, doesn’t agree with the call to push the start of school back. “We’ve done everything to make this opening as safe as we can, and we all know it comes with risk. But it will in two weeks from now, too,” she said.

Meriden’s first full day of school for students is scheduled for Sept. 8, with halfdays scheduled for Sept. 3 and 4.

did not explicitly call for delaying the start of school, however.

Matt O’Connor, a spokesman for AFT Connecticut, said the organization’s 13 requested safety requirements “leaves room” for local unions to demand delaying the start of school if a district isn’t able to meet any of the 13 requirements.

Those requirements include policies for masks, social distancing, air filtration systems, and contact tracing, among other things.

CEA’s 15-page Safe Learning Plan also included several recommendations, including implementing all-remote learning for districts that have a moderate or high infection rate or an inability to

maintain social distancing; upgrading air filtration system to improve air quality; implementing a school-centered contact tracing program; and providing testing for all students and adults with results in 24 hours or less.

“The state must revise school reopening plans to protect our school communities, especially in light of new reports confirming that children can readily transmit COVID-19 and may be drivers of the pandemic,” CEA President Jeff Leake said in a statement.

“Remote learning is still the safest option. Any return to the classroom requires additional precautions, including strict social distancing and access to COVID-19 testing, that are not currently included in the state plan.”

Rob Blanchard, a spokesman for the governor’s office, wrote in an emailed statement that the state is trying to ensure “we do not have a lost year of education” by putting in place “plans and guidelines that keep students and staff safe, while also doing our best to provide our young people with access to an education that prepares them for the future.

“After schools closed last spring, 176,000 Connecticut students did not log on for a single day of distance learning,” Blanchard continued.

“Although we’ve since taken significant steps to equip students to learn from home, we also know that nothing com-

“Districts have spent an exorbitant amount of money, and a two-week push back for the districts that don’t have any money, it’s not going to help them,” ManciniAveritt said. “This plan has cost Meriden Public Schools and other districts a massive amount of money, and that two weeks is just going to make it so that we spend even more.”

Peter Yazbak, a spokesman for the state Department of Education, said the state is providing a total of $266 million in reopening financial aid to districts, which he noted is one of the largest perpupil funding plans in the country.

For cash-strapped districts with fewer resources, like Meriden, Mancini-Averitt said delaying the start of school may not be ideal because it could lead to more spending.

“The two weeks does not help with the fact that there’s a huge disparity in the state of Connecticut between the have and have-not districts,’ she said.

The conditioning announcements came after the CIAC Board of Control met on Sunday. Starting on July 6, CIAC had allowed teams to participate in conditioning cohorts of limited numbers, but after the Connecticut Department of Public Health sent them a letter recommending, among other things, a two-week break to put the focus on the return to school, the athletic governing body chose to take a pause from their fall plan on Aug. 14.

In collaborating with DPH last week, the CIAC received the state’s blessing to pick up their practice plan for the fall season. To align with National Federation of High School guidelines, cohort workouts are currently limited to 10 athletes per session.

“We are pleased that we

In advising the CIAC, DPH has expressed concern about playing girls volleyball and football. In their first letter sent on Aug. 13, the organization recommended that those sports be canceled or moved to next year.

“The state right now allows for sports like club volleyball to play, but DPH disagrees that it should be played indoors (in high school),” explained Lungarini. “At this point, there are inconsistencies that we want to work out. We are hoping to have more discussions on that this week.”

In sending a second letter on Sunday, DPH said they would consider advocating for volleyball being played outdoors, as well as football “Looking at where we are playing in a 7-on-7 format to and what we know (medical- take out the risk of line play ly) at this time, we think the and tackling. best opportunity to offer For their possibility of sports is right now,” stated spreading coronavirus, volLungarini. “After we spoke leyball and football are claswith our medical experts sified as moderate and high and DPH, we feel that the risk sports, respectively. future is in doubt.”

Drought conditions one factor in trees turning early

By Jessica Simms Special to the Record-Journal

Autumn is just around the corner and a big part of the transition is the changing colors of tree leaves.

Leaves change color because of physiological stress, according to C. Thomas Philbrick, professor of biology at Western Connecticut State University.

It’s “kind of like being stuck in the wilderness and not having any food and you’re trying to preserve your energy for another day,” he said.

“That’s basically what the trees are doing.”

The recent tropical storm has also triggered some early change in foliage. The intermittent heavy rain has also been a factor.

The trimming of trees after the storm also puts a lot of stress on trees.

Local man gets 2½ years in fatal DUI case

ticed is a lot of this has happened on trees that have been trimmed,” Lessor said.

MERIDEN — A North Haven man was sentenced to 30 months in prison in connection with a fatal crash on Interstate-691 in 2018.

Lastly, bug infestations and pests can also impact trees.

Georgios Kattis, 38, of 18 Chapman Court, North Haven, was charged in May 2019 with second-degree manslaughter, first-degree reckless endangerment, driving under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol, reckless driving, driving the wrong way on a highway,

There is some good news, however.

“You’re getting more trees that are extremely stressed from the drought so the problem is we will continue to see fewer (mature) trees around, but of course, the circle of life is also giving opportunity for new trees so the next generation of trees in the coming years will take over,” Lessor said.

Bank breaks ground on new branch location At the invitation of the Quinnipiac and Greater New Haven Chambers of Commerce, Guilford Savings Bank officially broke ground on its latest branch office at the intersection of Washington and Blakeslee avenues in North Haven. Leaders from both chambers joined representatives from The New Haven Group, PhaseZero and Guilford Savings Bank to turn the soil at the construction site.

Anticipated to open in early 2021, this newly-designed branch office will be the seventh location for Guilford Savings Bank with full-service banking centers currently in Old Saybrook, Madison, North Madison, Guilford and Branford.

Established in 1875, Guilford Savings Bank made headlines recently by donating $100,000 to four regional community foundations in the early days of the pandemic.
