sachusetts, as well as the Cape Cod YMCA and the Granite YMCA. She has been an executive director for the last 15 years, focusing on board development, community services, risk management and fundraising. Prior to working at the executive level, Prisco supervised departments, including summer camp, after school care, aquatics, sports and youth and teen development.

“My 30 years at the Y have been extremely rewarding. The one thing I would share about working at the Y is that you have to get used to the feeling that your work is never finished,” she said. “I like helping to make a difference in people’s lives and I look forward to doing so in the Greater Plainville area.” Prisco played Division I women’s ice hockey for the University of New Hampshire, where she led her team to a national championship.

UConn students charged with shouting racial slurs sue By Dave Collins Associated Press

HARTFORD — Two University of Connecticut students arrested for shouting a racial slur outside a campus apartment complex sued the school Tuesday, Jan. 14 citing free speech rights as they fight officials’ attempts to remove them from school housing.

Jarred Karal, of Plainville, and Ryan Mucaj, of Granby, both 21, filed the lawsuit in federal court, seeing undisclosed damages and a halt to disciplinary proceedings against them. The two students say the school is violating their First Amendment rights by bringing disciplinary hearings that have included a recom-

WASHINGTON — Robert F. Hyde, a Simsbury construction company owner, Trump donor and a Republican candidate for the U.S. House, is now a figure in the presidential impeachment inquiry after documents suggest he spied on the former U.S. ambassador to Ukraine, Marie Yovanovitch. On Tuesday, Jan. 14 Democratic chairmen of House committees who conducted President Donald Trump’s impeachment inquiry released 40 text messages from Hyde, many concerning Yovanovitch. The messages are part of a package of documents and telephone records sent to the House Judiciary Committee that Democrats sought to make part of the official record transmitted to the Senate alongside two articles of impeachment. The documents show Ukraine’s top prosecutor offering Lev Parnas, a former associate of Trump’s personal lawyer, Rudolph Giuliani, damaging information about former Vice President Joe Biden in exchange for the Trump administration’s removal of Yovanovitch.

Hyde’s involvement in the Ukraine scandal was not previously known before the release of the documents Jan. 14, nor is it clear the nature of his association with Parnas or other Trump associates. Some of his messages to Parnas imply he had access to people spying on Yovanovitch in Kiev. Parnas attorney Joseph Bondi on Wednesday, Jan. 15 said “we completely categorically deny that Lev was involved in any activities with Hyde to surveil or try to harm the ambassador.” “We believe Mr Hyde’s activities to be a reflection on his dubious mental state,” Parnas said Hyde is attempting to unseat Rep. Jahana Hayes, D5th District. His bid to be elected to Congress stumbled last month after he wrote a sexually suggestive tweet about Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif., on the day she withdrew from the presidential race. He drew widespread condemnation from leaders of both political parties in the state.

They also allege school officials are violating the terms of a 1990 federal consent decree issued in another UConn student free speech case that bars the school from enforcing policies that interfere with First Amendment rights, when the speech doesn’t involve violence or the threat of violence. UConn spokeswoman Stephanie Reitz said the school does not comment on pending litigation. The students’ lawyer, Mario Cerame, also declined to comment. The Foundation for Individual Rights in Education, a

group that defends the rights of college students and faculty, agrees with the lawsuit, saying public institutions cannot punish protected speech.

It was recorded on video by a black student and led to campus protests against racism. Free speech advocates said that while the slur is offensive, uttering it is not criminal.

“As the Supreme Court explained long ago, ‘the State has no right to cleanse public debate to the point where it is grammatically palatable to the most squeamish among us’ — by penalizing the use of particular words directed at nobody in particular,” the group said in a statement.

Karal told police the group was playing a game in which they would yell an offensive word, according to an arrest warrant affidavit. The first person who refuses to say the word loses, he said. They decided to change the game to shouting the racial epithet, he said.

Police said Karal and Mucaj said the racial slur several times while walking with a third student through the parking lot of UConn’s Charter Oak Apartments complex on Oct. 11.

Karal and Mucaj were charged with ridicule on account of creed, religion, color, denomination, nationality or race, a misdemeanor. Karal was granted a probation program that could result in the charge being dismissed. The case against Mucaj is pending.

Karal and Mucaj are white. The third student was not charged.
