Leak prompts HazMat warning By Nick Sambides Jr. and Lauren Sellew Record-Journal staff

SOUTHINGTON — An ammonia leak compelled firefighters to warn residents within 1.5 miles of an Industrial Drive ice manufacturer to stay indoors and keep their windows closed and air conditioners off for two hours late Sunday night.

No injuries were reported and no environmental damage was done. The manufacturer, Diamond Ice, remained shut down as of Monday night as a contractor continued to repair the leak, Southington Deputy Fire Chief Scott DiBattista said. A reverse 911 warning issued by text set the warning perimeter at 1.25 miles, and a posting on the Southington Fire Department Facebook page listed the perimeter as 1.5 miles. Residents in Southington, Bristol and Plainville were notified by the emergency notification system and through door to door communication, DiBattista said.

An area of approximately 1.5 miles in diameter from Diamond Ice includes ESPN’s headquarters, Lake Compounce and portions of West Queen Street, Town Line Road, Red Stone Hill and Routes 10 and 177. The Fire Department’s warning went out at 9:50 p.m. Sunday and an all-clear was issued at 11:52 p.m. The incident at the plant at 93 Industrial Drive was reported shortly before 8 p.m. on Sunday. Firefighters arriving noticed a strong odor of ammonia and, using a thermal imaging camera, saw a plume venting from the roof area, DiBattista said. See Leak, A10

13 years in, Petit race still draws a crowd The 13th Annual Petit Family Foundation Road Race and Fitness Walk was held Sunday, July 11, setting off from Plainville High School. And once again, the event was well-attended. A social media post by the Petit Family Foundation states: “Our hearts are so full of #gratitude! #thankyou for your wonderful support and for making it such a great day yesterday at the 13th Annual Petit Family Foundation Road Race & Fitness Walk! #thankyou to the Plainville Police Department, Plainville Fire Department and Public Works! #thankyou to all of our donors, sponsors, volunteers, participants and race committee!

The top female finisher was Sarah Praisner (24th, 21:11). Gianna Rodriquez was the top female runner from Plainville (30th, 21:47).

Supreme Court Ruling: Big Victory for Elderly, Less So for Near-Elderly In upholding the President Obama's health reform law, the Affordable Care Act, the Supreme Court ensured the preservation and continued roll-out of improvements and protections for older adults. These improvements include the extension of Medicaid’s spousal impoverishment protections to those seeking long-term care in the community, financial incentives for states to keep long-term care recipients out of institutions, the gradual closing of Medicare Part D’s infamous “doughnut hole,” expanded access to preventive services for Medicare beneficiaries, and the Elder Justice Act. The Court did, however, scale back the Medicaid portion of the law, which could mean that fewer near-elderly will have access to health insurance than was originally envisioned. The law expanded Medicaid eligibility starting in 2014 to people with income up to 133 percent of the poverty line. But in its ruling, the Supreme Court gave states the freedom to opt out of this expansion without putting their current Medicaid funding at risk. Some governors have already declared that they will not accept the federal money in order to expand coverage. In states that decide not to participate, the poorest individuals below age 65 may be without access to affordable health insurance entirely because their incomes are too low to be eligible for federal subsidies provided under the law, which envisioned they would be covered by the Medicaid expansion. Connecticut was the first state in the nation to expand Medicaid enrollment to low-income adults in 2010 so one would expect the extended coverage to remain.

DUI From A2

Police noted Kmita and both children had blood on them. Officers could not tell if the children were injured or if they had blood transferred from their mother. Kmita had an open wound on her forehead, the report noted. The Nissan’s airbags were deployed and the windshield was smashed.

Kmita refused medical attention for herself and her children. She did not perform field sobriety tests to standard and was taken into custody. She refused to submit to a breathalyzer test. Kmita was released on $10,000 bond and is scheduled to appear in New Britain Superior Court on Aug. 4.

Officers made a report to the Department of Children and Families.

Leak From A1

“It was venting through a roof vent as it was designed to do but we are unable to determine the amount of product that vented out. We probably won’t know that for quite a while,” DiBattista said Monday. “All the necessary repairs will have to be made to secure the system and when they refill the tank, we can determine how much leaked out of it.” Diamond Ice manufactures block, cubed and packaged ice. The facto-

ry has around-the-clock capacity to produce more than 100,000 pounds of ice daily, according to the company’s website. Anhydrous ammonia “is a toxic gas or liquid that, when concentrated, is corrosive to tissues upon contact. Exposure to ammonia in sufficient quantities can be fatal,” according to the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Health Movement disorders

Anhydrous ammonia is commonly used in manufacturing and refrigeration.

The Chase Family Movement Disorders Center and Hartford HealthCare Center for Healthy Aging are offering a caregiver support group for individuals who care for people with movement disorders and other neurodegenerative conditions. This free support group is offered the first and third Tuesday of the month, 10 to 11 a.m.

Household ammonia is much less concentrated, according to CDC.

It is my hope that families take advantage of this unique opportunity happening in Connecticut this summer.” The Connecticut Summer at the Museum program is funded through a $15 million investment from the federal COVID-19 recovery funding Connecticut is receiving from the American Rescue Plan Act. It is being administered by the Connecticut Department of Economic and Community Development’s Office of the Arts in partnership with Connecticut Humanities, and supported with an advertising campaign lead by the Office of Tourism. While any museum in Connecticut can choose to participate in the program by offering free admission, eligible properties had an opportunity to apply for grant funding. Seventy grants were awarded, calculated based on the applicant’s revenue from admissions for the period of July 1 to Sept. 2, 2019. The minimum grant award is $1,000. “We’re excited to partner with museums of all types

The program was originally proposed earlier this year by the governor as part of his larger plan to use a portion of the recovery funding Connecticut is receiving to provide children and families with engaging summer enrichment and learning experiences. His proposal was approved by the state legislature in the biennial state budget that he signed into law.

In Brief
