Milestone year for foundation Eighty years ago, inspired vision and local generosity helped establish a foundation that has grown to become what is now known as the Community Foundation of Greater New Britain. This year, the foundation celebrates both its 80th anniversary, as well as eclipsing $50 million in its endowment, beginning 2021 with more than $53 million in endowed funds. Those endowed funds are invested by the foundation and produce annual returns that allow the organization to provide nearly $2 million annually for grants to nonprofits and school districts, scholarships to students, sponsorships to organizations, and funding for initia-

tives to make the communities of Berlin, New Britain, Plainville and Southington a vibrant and better place to work and live. Growth in the endowment also allows donors who have established Donor-Advised Funds with the foundation to make a greater impact with annual grants that can be directed to any nonprofit in the United States.

In preparation for its celebration of the 80th anniversary, the foundation began planning in late 2019 when it formed a planning committee made up of a number of board members and community representatives. They include: Sharon Baretta, Charles Bauer, Mark Bernacki, Gary Brummett, Cori Humes, Nina Jankowski, Rebecca Karabin-Ahern, Barbara Marzi, Janet Mellon, Susan Rathgeber, Donna Rutola, Paul Salina and Robert Scalise. Stanley Black & Decker, one of the foundation’s original founding donors in 1941, agreed to be the Presenting Sponsor of the anniversary and CEO James M. Loree joined foundation Board Chair Paul See Foundation, A13

Good news on the COVID front Out of the red Plainville has dropped out of the top-of-thechart coronavirus red zone. The color coded status for cities and towns represents two weeks of cases. The trigger for red status starts at a rate of 15 positive COVID-19 cases per 100,000 people per day. The state’s most recent report, issued March 18, showed 36 positive cases in Plainville, which works out to an average of 14.6 daily

cases. That put the town at orange status, which is 10 to 14 cases per 100,000 people. As of March 21, the total of laboratory-confirmed and probable cases reported among Connecticut residents was 299,667, including 278,188 laboratory-confirmed and 21,479 probable cases. Three hundred eighty-nine patients were hospitalized with laboratory-confirmed COVID-19. See COVID, A13

Church holds blood drive for siblings with rare condition By Devin Leith-Yessian Record-Journal staff

SOUTHINGTON – A biannual blood drive to help two children in the same family diagnosed with a rare blood condition is on pace to collect its 1,000th donation since it was started in 2013. “It literally brings me to tears when we’re sitting there and see the line of people that are waiting,” said Plainville resident Nicole Ciriello. Her two children, Daniela, 8, and Matteo, 4, have both been diagnosed with beta thalassemia, also known as Cooley’s Anemia — a condition in which the body is unable to produce enough red blood cells. Since hearing of Daniela Ciriello’s condition in 2013, Grace United Methodist Church has sponsored two blood drives every year, one in October and one in April. Before the pandemic, the drives were

held at the church. This year’s drive is Saturday, April 3 at the Aqua Turf. Though Matteo’s condition is currently treatable with medications, Daniela requires blood transfusions approximately every three weeks. See Drive, A12

“As we saw last summer during some severe storms, trees are the number one

cause of power outages, and trimming trees away from electric lines and removing dead or hazard trees is critical – especially as fierce weather seems to impact our region more frequently,” said Eversource Vegetation Management Manager Alan Carey. “The long-lasting effects of drought and the gypsy moth and emerald ash borer infestations have severely weakened trees around the state. While we trim and remove hazardous trees every day along state

and local roads, we can’t stress enough the importance of communities and

To help fortify the electric distribution system against such extreme weather, Eversource’s team of licensed arborists works year-round to execute its comprehensive

tree maintenance program. In 2021, the energy company will be investing approximately $72 million in tree trimming and hazardous tree removal to enhance reliability for customers throughout Connecticut. Eversource also encourages customers to maintain trees on their own property that can interfere with electric lines or equipment.

R239600

New Englanders saw firsthand the massive devastation caused by Tropical Storm Isaias and the powerful microburst that struck the Branford area last summer – bringing down thousands of trees around the state. Those violent storms are a clear reminder of just how destructive trees can be to the electric system.

SPRING IS THE TIME TO CHECK THE HEALTH OF YOUR TREES! CALL TODAY FOR FREE CONSULTATION! By inspecting trees and addressing potential problems, you can protect your home, save lives, and safeguard the investment that healthy trees add to your property.

pens, bracelets, pill travel carriers and pamphlets by the Cooley's Anemia Foundation.

“It’s kind of a big deal because my daughter depends on blood to survive. If these people don't come in and donate, my daughter doesn’t live,” Ciriello said.

She’s participating in blood drives nearly every month through October this year, including one she organizes herself every July 1 for Daniela’s birthday.

Those who wish to donate on April 3 can do so by visiting redcrossblood.org or calling 1-800-RED-CROSS and using the sponsor code “Daniela.”

“I know she's just as grateful as me,” Ciriello said.

Due to capacity limitations during the pandemic, the church has held the past two blood drives at the Southington YMCA. The Aqua Turf donating the use of one of its banquet rooms allows for greater social distancing. Paula Lopatosky, the church’s organizer for the blood drives, said the familial atmosphere prompts some to make their first blood donation.

The remains of a Meriden home built in 1776 and consumed by fire last fall was demolished on Monday. The house at 577 E. Main St. was destroyed in a fire on Nov. 14, 2020. The remains of the structure were knocked down on Monday and will be hauled away. A representative from Plainville-based Kapura General Contractors said they have to treat the site as if there is asbestos for removal purposes because an official abatement was not previously done. Police said two people were seen about 20 minutes before the fire was reported; one in the front and the other in the rear of the home. Sgt. Darrin McKay said the investigation is open and active. Pictured: Crews from Kapura General Contractors work at 577 E. Main St. in Meriden on Monday.

“By making a blood drive in honor of somebody, it’s really for awareness, so I can tell people why it's so important to donate blood,” she said. Lopatosky believes this next drive will push them over 1,000 units of blood. “I’m not a competitive person, but with running this blood drive I'm a competitive person because … every drive I want to do at least as good as we did last time,” she said. Nicole Ciriello said she’s overwhelmed with gratitude. She creates gift bags for every donor with photos of her children, as well as

“We will be collecting our 1,000th unit of blood in Daniela’s honor which is an incredible achievement, especially when you sit back and think about the fact that the blood collected at her blood drives has been the reason many patients have lived to see another day,” she said. “The most important piece of information for the public to know is that despite global pandemics, holidays, snowstorms and busy schedules, patients like Daniela are counting on you to provide the lifesaving blood products they need to survive.” Though the Ciriello family doesn’t attend Grace United Methodist, parishioners have adopted the family, said members Terry Spencer and Bill Leonard. In addition to the two blood drives, the church also has a potluck dinner with the family every year so that new volunteers can get to know them. “It means so much to them that our church reaches out to them,” Leonard said. dleithyessian @record-journal.com 203-317-2317 Twitter: @leith_yessian

COVID From A1

Age 45-plus can get vaccinated (AP) – About 80,000 Connecticut residents ages 45 to 54 have made appointments to get COVID-19 vaccinations since their age group became eligible for the shots on Friday, Gov. Ned Lamont said Monday. The total is less than 20% of the estimated 500,000 state residents ages 45 to 54, but Lamont said many in that age group have already been vaccinated because they were eligible earlier as medi-

Please & Thank you.

Connecticut has surpassed 1 million first doses administered, out of a total population of 3.5 million, new state data show. Another 584,000 residents are fully vaccinated. Nearly 80% of residents 75 and older have received their first shots, as have 76% of residents ages 65 to 74 and just over half of people 55 to 64. The state remains on track to open vaccinations to everyone 16 and older on April 5, Lamont said.

Farmington Valley Gymnastics in Plainville hosted the Central Connecticut Conference gymnastics championships on Sunday. Led by senior captain Natalie Reeves, who placed second in the allaround, the Southington High gymnasts put up the highest team scores in all four events to outdistance the seventeam field. The Blue Knights had a cumulative team score of 135.70. The closest challenger, South Windsor, came in at 127.00. Pictured, above: Southington sophomore Taylor Kelly took third in bars with an 8.50.

Financial planning. The very thought of financial planning can be overwhelming and intimidating for many people. This is especially true for many women who - despite generally being key household decision-makers tend to express the most anxiety about their own financial literacy. We all work hard to earn our money, and we want to do the best with it - whether it’s for ourselves, our families, children’s education, saving for a home, a lavish vacation, a renovation -whatever it is, it is paramount in importance to you. This is why Jennifer Waldron of Six Point Wealth Advisors goes to work every day. She looks at her profession as a multi-faceted mission. It’s one of listening intently, of education, of a disciplined philosophy, and a tactical approach that is always 100% individually crafted to her clients and their individual situations. Although Waldron’s clients span every demographic, she is the only female financial advisor on the Six Point team. As such, she is in tune to the many hesitations and concerns her female clients face. A question like “Am I making the right choice?”, as well as uncertainty over financial security fuel what Waldron calls, the “wealth management gap”.

Breaking the Wealth Management Gap (and while she’s at it, the glass ceiling)!

Jennifer Waldron: Six Point Wealth Advisors by Rona Mann

“Women want a trusted counselor,” says Waldron. “I am relatable, down to earth. I am balancing a home, career, and two children--just like many women do--so I understand their concerns and insecurities. My education and experience can help to close that gap for women and help them reach a more secure place and ultimately achieve their goals.” The team at Six Point Wealth Advisors is very cognizant of the concept of the glass ceiling, that metaphor that refers to the invisible barrier that prevents women and minorities from being promoted to managerial and executive-level positions. While Waldron is at present the only female financial advisor at the firm, more than half of the Six Point Wealth Advisors team are women, and they have a combined experience of more than 40 years in the financial services field.

Jennifer Waldron has a purpose and works toward it in her own life. She tries to transfer that specificity and goal-oriented behavior to her clients, which is why she is so successful in the financial services field. She firmly believes that there is a most definite gap in understanding that exists in her industry...that asset management is only one part of the equation, that the individual client’s plan and goals and the eventual road to meeting those goals are what’s paramount. Jennifer helps her clients create a game plan to meet their specific life goals, which is accomplished through her six steps of financial planning: 1. Identify and prioritize goals—Find out the true “why” behind the goals so that her clients actions reflect their values.

2. Gather Information—Taking a holistic approach to planning, going beyond traditional asset management, and looking deeper at the big picture. 3. Analyze Information—Working with her client’s data, goals, and values to create personalized solutions. 4. Propose information—A step-by-step action plan is presented to clients to help them meet their goals. 5. Take Action – The Six Point Wealth Advisors team works closely with all their clients in implementing action items. “This is not a do-it-yourself solution,” she adds, “this is a partnership.” 6. Track Ongoing Progress— As life changes, so does the plan! Regular reviews allow the flexibility to pivot and adjust when necessary. “If people get nothing else from this,” Jennifer says, “it’s that my goal is to close the wealth management gap.” And she and her team are doing it, one day at a time, one client at a time, with the perfect synergy they have at Six Point Wealth Advisors.
