Bus drivers claim criticisms from community “hurtful” By Michael Savino Special to The Citizen

Ongoing conversations about the school district’s bus service led to a contentious back-and-forth between some drivers and the Board of Education chairman during a recent meeting. A few parents criticized the bus service at the board’s Oct. 12 meeting, saying promises by M&J Bus Company haven’t resulted in consistent pickups and dropoffs for students. One parent told the board he started a petition demanding the board terminate its contract with M&J. Executives for the company were not at the meeting, but two bus drivers responded by calling the comments hurtful.

Drive-thru Pumpkin Patch set for this weekend By Grace McFadden Special to The Citizen

Families looking for fallthemed fun this weekend can head to the Landing of North Haven for A Night at the Pumpkin Patch: A DriveThrough Event. The Pumpkin Patch is filled with spectacles and pumpkins carved by volunteers. For $10 a car, visitors can drive through on kid-friendly Friday night, Oct. 20, or spookier Saturday night, Oct. 21. The drive through runs 6 p.m. to 9 p.m.

Local businesses and organizations, like the Daytime Gardeners of North Haven and the North Haven Library, do displays for the drive-through. The event is organized by Jill DeChello, the editor of North Haven Magazine and a local events organizer. “The students carve the pumpkins. It's a community service hour thing,” DeChello said. The drive-through is a fundraiser, and the money will go to benefit the North

Haven Education Foundation. In years past, this event has benefited the North Haven Lions Club and the North Haven Rotary Club. “I move where the money goes. I try to move it every event,” said DeChello. DeChello said the event is only a few years old. “The pumpkin patch came about during COVID because there was nothing for kids,” DeChello said. As it turns out, the event was See Patch, A7

“We need your support and the parents’ support, as well as everything else, because it makes our jobs harder,” April Wisniewski said. “We take it personally when we are bashed on forums.” That prompted board Chairman Ronald Bathrick to say the criticisms were directed at the company, and not the drivers. He also said M&J has to bring problems raised by drivers to the board. “It’s not our job to go to him and say ‘you know what, we can fix this,’” Bathrick said, referencing M&J Bus Company Chief Operating Officer Jon Hipsher. Hipsher did share plans at the board’s Sept. 14 meeting to improve bus service. Parents had complained about unreliable service, with pickup and dropoff times varying a lot. “They come up with new policies and procedures and they say they’ll follow, but they don’t seem to,” Kyle said. He added he had a petition with 130 signatures from parents who wanted to end the contract with M&J. Fellow parent Michelle Leomo also said service hadn’t improved. Bathrick said the school board and district officials were trying to push M&J to improve. “We are actively engaged in a conversation about M&J, that’s all I can say about that,” he said. But Wisniewski and Deanna Fusco said they were hurt by the criticism. See Bus, A5

Finance 101: Is student loan debt Hamden Regional Youth consolidation right for your child? Basketball League ment terms, variable rate options and any applicable fees.

After a period of frozen interest and suspended payments, the student loan pause officially ended on August 31.

Begin the application process

Take inventory of all of their loans As a first step, graduates should determine where their loans originate, the current balance, applicable interest rates and when their first payments are due now that the pause has ended. Assess their options If borrowers hold loans from the federal government, they can choose to consolidate them into another federal loan or refinance through a private lender. An advantage if they are able to consolidate loans with the federal government is that they don’t have to meet any credit requirements.

However, they will not be able to consolidate at a lower interest rate than they currently pay.

For a private student loan, they will work with the specific lender and follow their application procedures.

Private lenders, on the other hand, will assess factors like their current income and credit score before refinancing loans. In many cases, credit scores will have to be in the mid-to-high-600s to qualify. With private lenders, they may have the opportunity to benefit from a lower interest rate.

Student loans can be complex, and as a parent, you may have other questions about how you can help your children establish strong financial discipline.

It’s also important to note that consolidation of loans that originate from private lenders can only occur by refinancing through a private lender.

For additional support, consult a financial advisor skilled in multigenerational financial planning. Such an advisor can sit down with you and your child to talk about financial priorities and advise on steps to reach them with confidence.

Jeffrey Jolly.

For federal loans, it’s important to remember they only have one opportunity to consolidate. This process typically takes less than 30 minutes, and there is no application fee. Your child should be ready with their Federal Student Aid I.D. and other personal and financial information.

Consolidation can simplify the process for your child: they may be able to reduce the number of payments made each month and obtain more favorable repayment terms.

To consolidate with a federal loan, they should begin the application process at studentloans.gov.

Borrowers are once again seeing their student debt balances affected by interest accrual. Many of these college graduates have multiple loans – each one requiring its own payments on its own due date each month. If you are the parent of a child who holds multiple student loans, there are steps you can encourage your child to take to help manage those debts. Based on the types of loans they hold, there may be different options for consolidation.

During the last general election season, Republican gubernatorial candidate Bob Stefanowski referred to crime in Connecticut as an “immediate crisis of public safety.”

glary, larceny/theft, motor vehicle theft and arson.

The number of murders last year in Connecticut represented a 46% increase since 2013, while the U.S. as a whole experienced an uptick in the same category. And the state’s murder rate per 100,000 residents is still far below the country’s.

Motor vehicle theft, a major area of legislative focus throughout the pandemic, has decreased by 16% since 2020 — from 8,472 to 7,103. From 2021 to 2022, motor vehicle thefts dropped 8.5%. Connecticut has seen a 14% increase in motor vehicle thefts since 2013, but the state isn’t an outlier. The U.S. rate for motor vehicle theft per 100,000 residents has increased from 221.3 to 282.7 over the same period.

Rape, robbery and aggravated assault in Connecticut have all decreased during the same time frame.

A school bus enters the yard at New Britain Transportation at 1748 N. Broad St. in Meriden, Wednesday afternoon, August 30. Dave Zajac, Record-Journal

From A1

“The thing is when we need support — nothing,” Fusco said. “We have to fight.” Fusco specifically stated that bus drivers could use help with traffic control on Elm Street when trying to enter and exit the high school. Wisniewski, meanwhile, suggested the school board cluster houses that are near each other into a single stop, instead of making each house its own stop.

Bathrick said the school board had not planned to discuss bus service on the agenda and drivers should tell Hipsher to bring their problems and concerns to school officials.

The drivers felt Bathrick was cutting them off after letting parents voice their complaints. “Everyone can speak what they want to speak, but we can’t,” Fusco said. Bathrick pushed back, saying he wasn’t trying to stop them from talking.
