About 50 law students, prosecutors, medical professionals, educators, foster care workers and law enforcement officials attended a training seminar on human trafficking Friday, Oct. 25 at Quinnipiac University’s School of Law.

SUPPORTING STEM

Ski club to host Nov. 13 open house The North Haven Ski Club will host an open house Wednesday, Nov. 13, 7 to 9 p.m., at Columbus Hall, 22 Church St., North Haven. The club offers Saturday and Sunday bus trips to a variety of places throughout New England at affordable prices. The bus leaves from the Stop & Shop parking lot in North Haven at 5:30 a.m. (Killington trips depart at 5 a.m.)

The Quinnipiac Chamber of Commerce recently donated $2,500 to support the STEM program at the Ulbrich Boys & Girls Club in North Haven. "We can't thank the Quinnipiac Chamber of Commerce Charitable Trust enough for investing in our STEM program,” said Ulbrich Boys & Girls Club Executive Director Carlos Collazo. “The Quinnipiac Chamber of Commerce STEM Learning Center at our North Haven Unit will inspire our youth, showcase career opportunities, and prepare them to address real-world problems. Without the support of community partners such as the Quinnipiac Chamber of Commerce, we would not be able to provide our high level of programs while keeping the club affordable for families."

Financial wisdom for college students, parents Is your son or daughter heading to college? If the answer is yes, it’s an exciting moment in your child’s life. But, financially, it can also be a paralyzing time if they do not have a principled approach for managing money. Out on their own for the first time, your child has an opportunity to sharpen their financial skills for the future, but they are vulnerable to mistakes. Thankfully, regular chats about money can help get them on the right path.

Here are some suggested financial topics to cover with your college-aged child: Expected financial contributions. College costs have skyrocketed in recent years. Tuition, room and board, books and travel can readily exceed $100,000 depending on what school your child attends. Your family situation will dictate how you manage these costs. Students who carry some financial responsibility for their education tend to be more invested in the outcome. Before your child starts college,

be clear about whether or not you expect them to share some of the costs and how much they Jolly need to contribute. If you or your child take out loans for school, discuss who will be responsible for repayment after graduation.

be responsible for their expenses of daily living. Help your student create a realistic budget for campus life. Encourage smart decisions around discretionary spending. For example, it’s not uncommon for students with meal plans to eat out several times a week, but that’s an expense that can be avoided. Likewise, indulging in a latte or late-night pizza on a regular basis adds up over four years.

Budgeting and spending. For many young adults, college is the first time they will

Risks to financial reputation. Help your student see how their financial actions in college can affect their future. Some employers run credit checks on prospective employees, meaning if your child has debt or unpaid bills, it can adversely affect hiring decisions. Landlords and mortgage lenders also look at credit scores. So, talk to your child about how to use credit cards responsibly. Property protection. Most students bring a cell phone and a laptop to school with them. They may have other valuables that would be costly to replace. College campuses are not immune from theft. Let your student know they need to be vigilant about keeping their personal possessions safe. Discuss whether rental insurance makes sense. It may provide the protection your student needs while at school.

Daily check-ins can help students avoid overspending and spot fraud if it occurs. They also should take care to avoid using public or unsecured wi-fi when conducting financial activities online. Financial check-ins. Talk about how you will discuss money matters while they are away at school. Set up weekly or monthly financial chats so you can review expenses, reset expectations, adjust budgets and so on. If problems arise, you have a standing appointment to work things out. These conversations can help prepare your son or daughter for a relationship with a financial advisor. When the time is right, encourage them to find a professional who can help them set and achieve financial goals over a lifetime.

FROM THE QVHD

Protect yourself, your family this flu season Influenza viruses are most common during the fall and winter seasons. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, “the exact timing and duration of flu seasons can vary, but influenza activity often begins to increase in October. Most of the time flu activity peaks between December and February, although activity can last as late as May.” Now is the recommended time to get your flu vaccine. Don’t wait! The best way to prevent getting the flu is to get a flu vaccine each year. The CDC recommends that everyone 6 months and older should get a flu vaccine. It is important to note that the flu vaccine cannot give you the flu. To find a convenient location near you that provides flu vaccines, visit vaccinefinder.org/ and select flu vaccine. Quinnipiack Valley Health District also recommends the following tips to avoid the flu and stay healthy all winter long:

Avoid close contact with those who are sick, stay home when you are sick, cover your mouth when sneezing or coughing, frequently washing your hands, avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth. If you suspect you or a loved one has the flu, go to your doctor. Getting treatment early is very important. There are antivirals you can take to lessen symptoms and shorten the time you are sick by 1 or 2 days. They can also prevent serious flu complications, like pneumonia. Flu is different from a cold and symptoms usually come on suddenly. People who have the flu often feel some or all of these symptoms: Fever or feeling feverish/ chills, cough, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, muscle or body aches, headaches, fatigue (tiredness) Some people may have vomiting and diarrhea, though this is more common in children than adults.

OPINION By Glenn Richter Record-Journal staff

The purpose of the Partnership for Connecticut is simple: to help disconnected, disadvantaged students who are struggling in high school get on track so they can have a better future. At least that’s what I thought. And what could possibly be wrong with that?

But if you read their mission statement, it gets more complicated: “Expand upward mobility in ConRichter necticut by connecting disengaged and disconnected high school-aged youth See Richter, A8

(14-24) to educational and career opportunities, and by supporting economic development in under-resourced communities through microfinance and social entrepreneurship.” I figure the educational part is more than enough to ask (especially with an expanded age range) from an outfit

that will have only $40 million to spend per year, for only five years. But the Partnership is an odd duck anyway — a private initiative that brings $100 million to the table, to be matched by another $100 million in taxpayer money. This is something we haven’t seen before. Maybe it’s just hard for us to get our heads around the idea that public education in Connecticut is now a charity case.

(Early reports included the idea that another $100 million might be added, from other private sources. Don’t know what happened to that idea, but it seems to have faded.)

The other odd thing about the Partnership is the shroud of secrecy that has covered the project since Day 1. So far, Gov. Ned Lamont and Barbara Dalio, of Dalio Philanthropies (her husband is hedge fund giant Ray Dalio, and they are the source of the all-important $100 million) seem to be fine with a high level of seNew Siding Others, not so much. crecy.

The main argument for secrecy is that tough discussions will be had, and public officials won’t be really frank in public. Also, there will naturally be questions when one school system receives funding and another doesn’t. And I’m sure that’s true.

To reflect the magnitude and quality of this sought-after acquisition, the firm has officially changed its name to Wiley Etter Doyon, LLC. “Given the nature of what we do and who our clientele is, the need for in-house litigation strength to assist in contentious situations involving businesses and cherished personal assets was incredibly apparent,” said Matthew Wiley, the firm’s managing partner. “We shot for the mountain tops and ended up hitting the moon when Trevor agreed to come on board,” added partner, Bryan Etter. “As much as the current attention is on me personally, I just want the community to know that we collectively are thrilled to be in an optimal position to serve our clients’ complex needs,” expressed Doyon. “Whether in the conference room or the courtroom, this is a team that will deliver peace of mind for our clients. That’s the headliner here.”

Lamont announces a new Governor’s Workforce Council By Mark Pazniokas © The Connecticut Mirror

WATERBURY — Gov. Ned Lamont engaged in two of his favorite pastimes Tuesday: Drawing boldface corporate CEOs, academics and philanthropists into publicprivate partnerships, and tilting at the silos he believes prevent government agencies from working efficiently in common cause.

perate for robust job growth, there are thousands of jobs going unfilled.

Development, Social Services, Transportation, and Correction, among others.

Some are in advanced manufacturing, but others are deemed to be mediumskilled, suggesting a potentially quick path to employment — if the workforce can be expanded. And that requires synergies not always found in government: For example, to get an unskilled single parent back into the job market, that means finding resources to provide transportation and child care, as well as education and training.

“If we train these people for the jobs that are out there, we get our economy going,” Lamont said. “We give these kids an extraordinary opportunity, and businesses know they can grow and expand right here in Connecticut.”

The council’s members include the CEOs or other top executives from Electric Boat, Stanley Black + Decker, NBC Sports, Bigelow Tea, Sound Manufacturing, Synchrony, AQR, Yale New Haven Hospital, Infosys, The Hartford, Indeed, Aventri and ReNetx. From the philanthropic and non-profit sectors are the executive director of ABCD, a community action agency in Bridgeport, and the presidents of the Hartford Foundation for Public Giving, Yale University, and Quinnipiac University. Two labor leaders are on the council, as well as Sen. Tony Hwang,

The chair of the new council is Garrett Moran, a one-time investment banker with the Blackstone Group and former president of Year Up, a non-profit that prepares disadvantaged youth for careers. He is a friend of Lamont’s and helped lead the governor’s transition team.

Lamont signed an executive order creating the Governor’s Workforce Council, an effort to deliver on a campaign promise to bring new methods and energy to In a ceremony at Naugatuck workforce development, a Valley Community College, buzzword that suggests a which quickly places most holistic approach to what once was called job training. graduates of its manufacturing and health programs in It is tasked with expanding jobs, Lamont said he sees the workforce, then matchroles for all aspects of public ing supply with significant Basement Waterproofing Services secivreS gnifoorpretaW tnemesaB post-secondary education demand.

R-Fairfield, and Rep. Toni Walker, D-New Haven. “If you know anything about this administration, you get a sense of where we’re coming from with the Workforce Council,” Lamont said. “It will be another public-private partnership.” Last week, Lamont named Colin Cooper, an entrepreneur and former aerospace design engineer as the state’s chief manufacturing officer, bringing a private-sector perspective to the task of filling advanced manufacturing jobs available due to modest growth and a coming “silver tsunami” of retirements.

“What I think you’ve done here … and what the people have done to North Haven, how this town thinks about business and enabling business, that’s what we need to do at the state level,” said David Lehman, commissioner of the Department of Economic & Community Development. “This is a microcosm of what I think I’d like to see in Hartford and what the world should think about the state of Connecticut.”

“We know that’s going to happen, the time frame is still a little bit nebulous,” he said. “It’s great from a service standpoint, providing transportation for the elderly, disabled and others and also bringing in those jobs.”

“While we are pleased to see that overall our students in Connecticut performed better than most of their peers across the country, we still have much more work to do to close the disparity gaps that exist around the state,”

dents and faculty involved with the Human Trafficking Prevention Project at the law school. It gives students the chance to train employees in the hospitality industry and other “frontline” industries in trafficking awareness skills.

“This has been such an exciting project to work on because of the incredible interest from young people,” Hayre said. “And unlike the older generation, I think they realize the ways in which the internet is used and is ever present in the lives of younger people and how that can make them very vulnerable to these types of exploitation.”

“Last year, DCF came to talk to us for Human Trafficking Awareness Week and there was a statistic that said over 60 percent of kids who are victims of human trafficking are living at home with their parents at the time of their victimization,” said Cynthia Lill, an executive board member of the Human Trafficking Prevention Project. “So that got me thinking ‘If they’re at home, their parents aren’t realizing this. If they’re at school, their teachers aren’t realizing this.’”
