The Greater New Britain Chamber of Commerce hosted a webinar in February teaching strategies to safeguard businesses against internal fraud. The webinar was led by Jackie Jamsheed, an associate professor of accounting at Central Connecticut State University. To avoid fraud, Jamsheed said, businesses need to protect themselves both within and outside their own walls. That means business partners as well as key clients and vendors should be fully vetted. “Sometimes an employee can be colluding with the vendor on fraud or theft. If there is an invoice for $1,000, it is possible that it’s actually $800 and then the employee and the vendor are splitting $200,” said See Chamber, A2
Revaluation process begins As mandated by Connecticut State Statute, Plainville will be conducting a revaluation of all real estate in town. This revaluation will be effective for the Grand List of October 1, 2021. Tax bills for the new revaluation will be mailed out in June 2022 and will be due July 1, 2022. A question-and-answer fact sheet is available at the Office of Assessment and Revenue Collection and on the town's website, plainvillect.com. The town has contracted with Tyler Technologies CLT to assist with the revaluation. This process will be ongoing through most of 2021.
Balloon fest grounded again Citing health concerns, the Plainville Fire Company has called off the 2021 Hot Air Balloon Festival. A Feb. 24 press release states: “After much consultation and research, and in keeping with the core mission of the
Plainville Fire Company to protect and preserve the safety of our community, the difficult decision to cancel was the only rational option for this year’s event … [W]e hope to welcome all our friends See Balloon, A3
In the coming months, data collectors from Tyler Technologies will be inspecting all properties that have sold or have been issued building permits in the last two years. Additionally, all commercial properties will be inspected, and photographs will be taken to update town property cards. Data collectors have been See Revaluation, A2

In addition, Jamsheed suggested installing a point-ofsale system, which monitors the time and place of each transaction. The point-ofsale system allows managers to track each transaction to a specific employee.
the result for the business,” she said.
Additionally, Jamsheed said managers should require employees to take their allotted vacation time. She said employees who are committing theft sometimes resist taking a vacation in order to continue covering up fraudulent activity.
Its website states, “In November 2011, the Berlin Chamber of Commerce suffered from the economic climate and was forced to permanently close its doors. By 2012, the New Britain Chamber sought to find a solution by creating a historic regional partnership with Berlin’s Chamber. The new affiliation triggered New Britain’s Chamber to modify the organizations name to Greater New Britain Chamber – New Britain, Berlin (GNBCOC).
“Employees have to take vacation time,” Jamsheed said. “Then somebody who is cross-trained comes in and does the work, pays the banks, reviews the statements, looks at the invoice.”
Also, Jamsheed said managers should count cash in the drawer at the beginning and end of each business day. “It shows that you are on top of things, that there is a culture of transparency, and if there is something happening that's unsavory, it will be caught quickly,” she said.
Another measure managers can take to safeguard from fraud is to conduct regular audits – some unannounced –during which employees provide detailed support for all transactions. In conclusion, Jamsheed urged managers to carefully study their business reports and address any suspicious activity, no matter how small it may seem. “The earlier fraud is defected, the better
And Jamsheed advised businesses to be wary of duplicate invoices from the same vendor. While duplicate invoicing is often a mistake, that isn’t always the case.

It is essential, she said, that businesses protect their credit card data by closely monitoring employees’ access to the company card and requiring them to document all expenses with receipts.
She said, each month, managers should review key metrics such as sales and payroll reports, and inventory movements. This will not only help them spot fraud but also analyze business performance, helping them make informed management decisions.

back in August 2022!” The coronavirus led to the cancellation of last year’s Hot Air Balloon Festival as well. Prior to that, the fire company’s annual summer gathering, held over the course of one weekend in August, had taken place uninterrupted for more than three decades. The Hot Air Balloon Festival draws in excess of 20,000 spectators to Norton Park, and is the fire company’s biggest fundraiser. The event usually brings in about $20,000. The money goes toward equipment, donations to the food pantry and scholarships for Plainville High School seniors. Santo Galatioto, former president of the Connecticut Lighter than Air Society, said the dozens of pilots and crew who bring balloons to the festival view it as a way to engage the community, and as

COVID-19 cases decline locally Plainville, and nearly every other Connecticut municipality, remains in the coronavirus red zone. The color coded status represents two weeks of cases. The trigger for red status starts at a rate of 15 cases per 100,000 people per day. The state’s most recent report showed 58 positive
cases in Plainville. That works out to an average of 23.5 daily cases per 100,000 people. In the previous report, 74 positive cases were reported in town. In the Feb. 11 report, Plainville logged 103 positive cases. As of Feb. 25, the total of laboratory-confirmed and probable COVID-19 cases
reported among Connecticut residents was 279,946, including 26,1052 laboratoryconfirmed and 18,894 probable cases. Four hundred fifty-one patients were hospitalized with laboratoryconfirmed COVID-19. There had been 7,622 COVID-19associated deaths. As of March 1, anyone age 55 to 64 can get a
COVID-19 vaccine. That group will be followed by people 45-54 on March 22; 35-44 years on April 12; and everyone else 34 years and younger on May 3. The only exception will be for pre-K12 school staff, including teachers, and professional childcare providers. That group, which is estimated to include about 100,000 people, will be allowed to get their shots in March at dedicated clinics set up for them. — Citizen report

Now accepting nominations for Youth Recognition Awards The City of Bristol Department of Parks, Recreation, Youth and Community Services (BPRYCS) is seeking nominations for the 2021 Youth Recognition Awards and 29th Annual Youth Service Recognition Day. Each year, Mayor Ellen ZoppoSassu, BPRYCS, and the Bristol Youth Commission highlight and celebrate the young people who go above and beyond to serve the Bristol community. Mayor Ellen Zoppo-Sassu stated, “As we celebrate the 29th Annual Youth Service Recognition Day and call for nominations of outstanding youth, I cannot express how it has never been more important to acknowledge and recognize the strong and resilient dedicated youth of this community.” ZoppoSassu is asking Bristol, “Please reflect on the talented and hardworking young people you know and show your support for their tremendous dedication to the Bristol community.” Youth and youth groups may be nominated by adults that benefited from a community service project or volunteerism of a Bristol young person between March 1, 2020 and February 28, 2021. This year’s Youth Recognition Awards will be centered on self-improvement, internal personal growth, efforts to get along with peers and
authority figures, academics efforts, and contributions to their school, neighborhoods, and community. Youth & Community Services Supervisor, Stephen Bynum, remarked, “In light of the COVID-19 Pandemic, we have seen Bristol’s youth step up during a challenging time and make significant meaningful contributions to their schools, community groups and their neighbors. It’s been amazing to see and we want to celebrate all of the outstanding ways our youth have prevailed at such a time.” Superintendent of Parks, Recreation, Youth and Community Services, Dr. Joshua Medeiros added, “The criteria for judging nominees has changed slightly this year. We understand the limitations COVID has presented and that performing the traditionally required number of service hours would be challenging.
Saving limbs. Restoring lives.
We want to recognize more young people doing great work in the community and we hope that these changes will open the application to more nominations.”
We are safe. We are prepared. We are ready to care for you.
Selected nominees will be recognized at the Youth Recognition Awards Ceremony on Wednesday, May 12, 2021 at Mrs. Rockwell’s Pavilion in Rockwell

that every child has the opportunity to succeed. In Plainville, the goal of our equity work is to meet the individual needs of our students so that they, regardless of culture, ethnicity, wealth, innate ability, language or gender have the same access and opportunity to high level instruction that will help them unlock and reach their highest potential.
Equity in Action. What’s the plan? In our equity work, we are letting the data be our guide. Initial data studies are focused on identifying achievement gaps. We are continually investigating further and looking for trends and gaps within our schools. For example, are any groups underrepresented in the opportunities meant to be available for all students? Once such gaps are identified, the next step is to identify the reason for this, and then create collaborative and sustainable systems that better meet the individual needs of all students. We are also creating avenues through which student, parent and community voices can be heard. We are providing platforms that are safe, available and accessible so that our stakeholders can share both their experiences and concerns. Parents and students participate in meetings and provide feedback via surveys and an open door/communication policy. These measures are in place to ensure that students and families feel wel-

come, supported and safe.
How are we doing it? At the district level, the Safe School Climate Committee, led by Assistant Superintendent David Levenduski, is the overarching entity for school climate-related planning. This committee is divided into two subcommittees, Social Emotional Learning (SEL) and Equity. The Equity Sub-Committee includes at least one administrator and teacher from each school. The objective of the subcommittee is for each school to collect and analyze data, and dive deeper to collaboratively identify areas of need. This information is then used to create a cross-curricular, cross-level Professional Learning Community to support each other in this work, and to share strategies that will be implemented across the district. Additionally, it provides the school district with information to allocate resources for professional development to support the identified areas of need at each school. It is an individualized process that recognizes that the needs of each building can vary based on their unique dynamics, student demographics and other factors; however, the approach to identify areas of need is universal.
What steps have we taken? Through our district focus on equity, we have taken several significant steps toward meeting the needs of all of our students. We have retained the services of “on call” in-district translators for the following languages: Spanish, Polish, Portuguese and Urdu. We also have access to translator services for other languages as we recognize the importance of the school-home connection. We are working on finalizing plans for a District Welcome Center (in our new central registration office)
to provide support, information and guidance to new families. Additionally, we are working to ensure that books and curricula are available to students which represent the diversity of our student population. Our students participate in Social Justice Read Alouds with a strong focus on identity and respect. Some schools host parents (virtually) sharing stories in their native language to expose students to the variety of different languages and cultures represented throughout Plainville Community Schools. We also continue to seek and nurture partnerships with community organizations including the Open Choice Program, Plainville’s Anti-Racism Task Force, the Plainville Coalition for Positive Youth Development, the Plainville Wellness Committee and more. Additionally, we are reviewing and restructuring our recruitment, employment and retention practices with a focus on attracting and hiring new staff who are representative of our diverse student population. We understand that as our student population continues to evolve and change, so must our response to diverse needs. We are working tirelessly to create processes that will identify needs and trends, and are adjusting accordingly. In education, the only constant is change. In Plainville, we are committed to providing an equitable and safe learning environment that supports the individual academic and social-emotional needs of every student in our school community. Through collaboration, foresight and teamwork, we will ensure that all students are equipped with the knowledge, skills and resources needed to thrive and flourish. Steven LePage is the superintendent of schools in Plainville.
