COLUMBUS CONTROVERY

Virtual meeting on statue draws substantial response By Jesse Buchanan Record-Journal staff

School year ‘will be marked with innovation and commitment’ The Connecticut State Board of Education met on Tuesday, July 14 to discuss the reopening of state schools. The following is an Executive Summary from Dr. Miguel A. Cardona, Commissioner of Education.

SOUTHINGTON – Dozens of residents spoke for and against a Christopher Columbus statue during a public hearing Monday night. Renewed controversy over public statues led town leaders to hold the hearing via video conference. In addition to nearly 150 people who took part in the meeting by phone or computer, Town Council Chairwoman Victoria Triano said more than 120 sent in letters on the topic.

changes to the State’s education system and way of life. Educators transitioned critical services to remote settings; families turned their living rooms into classrooms; and students took on new lives balancing their studies with the deep personal and socioemotional impacts of this pandemic.

Right in your neighborhood.

For the last several months, the Connecticut State Department of Education (CSDE) has been working handin-hand with educational stakeholders, the Connecticut Department of Public Health, and the Office of the Governor to plan for schools to reopen in the fall. With public health data improving, and Connecticut being one of a handful of states poised to be in this position, we are cautiously optimistic that we can do this successfully. This work culminated with the public release of Adapt, Advance, Achieve on Monday, June 29.

Reopening Plan This document provides LEAs with a roadmap — guardrails to operate within – while allowing them some flexibilities to create reopen plans that will most effectively serve their unique communities. It is intended to be a fluid document that will evolve based on the public health data trends as well as the understanding of the best way to mitigate spread. Some key important points about the document: Before July 24, 2020, LEAs and all school operators, including but not limited to choice programs, charter schools, and endowed academies will be expected to submit a plan to the CSDE addressing the requirements outlined in the document. While the CSDE will not approve such plans, they will be retained and best practices communicated and will allow the CSDE to provide technical support for those LEAs who require it. See School, A5

Medicare Part B

From A1

“This statue is more than just a statue,” Conlon Perugini said. Another speaker, Brian Corbino, was on the other side of the debate. “This debate is not about this statue, it’s not about Christopher Columbus. It’s about whether or not we should be allowed to have history at all,” he said. “Those who would remove it are doing so with ill intent,” Alicia Novi, a Democrat and Zoning Board of Appeals vice chairwoman, said the statue should be removed. She questioned whether the council would now have to approve any group that wanted to erect a privatelyfunded monument on public land.

Turning 65? You may need sign up for Medicare Part B

If you are paying for your own insurance, you may not think you need to sign up for Medicare when you turn 65. However, not signing up for Medicare Part B right away can cost you down the road.

Most Insurances Accepted

You can first sign up for Medicare during your Initial Enrollment Period, which is the seven-month period that includes the three months before the month you become eligible (usually age 65), the month you are eligible and the three months after the month you become eligible. If you do not sign up for Part B during this period, you will be subject to a penalty. Your Medicare Part B premium may go up 10 percent for each 12-month period that you could have had Medicare Part B, but did not take it. In addition, you will have to wait for the general enrollment period, which usually runs between January 1 and March 31 of each year, to enroll. There are exceptions to the penalty if you have insurance through an employer or through your spouse's employer, but there is no exception for private insurance. The health insurance must be from an employer where you or your spouse actively works, and even then, if the employer has fewer than 20 employees you will likely have to sign up for Part B. If you don't have an employer or union group health insurance plan, or that plan is secondary to Medicare, it is extremely important to sign up for Medicare Part B during your initial enrollment period. Note that COBRA coverage, retiree coverage or VA benefits do not count as a health insurance plan for Medicare purposes.

Help paying utility bills is under-utilized in state Financial hardships experienced by residents and business owners as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic have led to unpaid bills for utilities, like electricity, gas and water over the past four months. But it has not led to disruptions in services. And residents need not worry about being disconnected — yet. Statewide moratoriums on disconnections due to financial hardships remain in place until September for residents and until August for commercial customers. Still, utility service providers are asking residents and businesses experiencing

hardships to contact them — because assistance, including repayment plans, is currently being under-utilized, according to the state Public Utilities Regulatory Authority.

Eversource, according to its website, is offering cusPURA Chairwoman Marissa tomers COVID-19-related payment plans that would Gillett pointed to electricity and natural gas provider Ev- give customers 24 months to pay off outstanding balersource as one example. ances, interest free. But cusAlthough Eversource sertomers must enroll by vices more than one million Nov. 1. Additional financial electric power customers assistance is available for and more than 200,000 natu- lower income households, ral gas customers across according to Eversource. Connecticut, as of May, only around 4,000 residential customers had arranged payment plans due to COVID19 hardships. Only 196 commercial customers had made similar arrangements.

The state of Connecticut has so far built up a stockpile of personal protective equipment that can last about 60 or 70 days, with plans to eventually have enough for 90 days in case there is a second wave of the coronavirus, Gov. Ned Lamont said last week. While it’s the responsibility of nursing homes and businesses to secure their own PPE, the state has been a “backstop” for those entities during the pandemic. Lamont noted how the state “did a lot of backstopping” over the past few months and is now trying to replenish its stock of gloves, masks, gowns and other protective equipment. “We are now building up our stockpile again,” Lamont said, during an event in Hartford Wednesday, July 8. “As you know, it’s getting a little competitive out there, given what’s going on in the other states.”

“We certainly understand and recognize how challenging these times are for some of our customers,” Eversource spokesman Mitch Gross said. “And we continue to stress any customer who has had a difficult time paying their electric or natural gas bill because of the pandemic, if they have not contacted us, they need to contact us.” Gross said Eversource’s COVID-19 payment program includes “very flexible payment arrangements.”

“Customers can pay down any balance they have accrued. We’re here to work with you,” Gross said.

Hope to raise awareness Whether the moratoriums on utility shutoffs continue past their current expiration dates will depend on conditions due to the pandemic and the status of the state’s recovery. See Utilities, A12

Connecticut builds stockpile of PPE By Susan Haigh Associated Press

Meanwhile, for that same month, Eversource had also reported more than $3.5 million in unpaid utility bills, Gillett said.

Josh Geballe, Lamont’s chief operating officer, told The Associated Press the state has been able to secure new orders with key suppliers that were reliable during the past several months. “We have not heard from our suppliers that the surges in other parts of the country have directly impacted our supply chain yet; however, recognizing the fact that those states will be seeking additional large quantities of PPE, it could play a factor down the road,” Geballe said in an email. “We have aggressively negotiated our needs to ensure we continue to have the product we need.” Geballe said he’s optimistic Connecticut will have a 90day supply of PPE in place by the end of July. “We have commitments from suppliers who are directly working with key factories in China and we also have other suppliers who have product on the ground in the USA,” he said.

At the same time PURA officials and utility company leaders are urging customers to take advantage of available assistance programs, they also warn customers should be vigilant about utility-related scams. PURA urged customers to exercise caution when receiving any solicitation related to their utility bills and to call their service providers directly. Even after those moratoriums on disconnections expire, Gillet said PURA’s goals include making sure the repayment plans remain active and customers are able to rebound financially. “We want to make sure if you are on a payment plan, and you are current with it, it can’t expire,” Gillett said. mgagne@record-journal.com

2020 brings ‘new normals’

From A5

support online and offline learning that will provide one more component to achieving true equity for our learners whether they are inside or outside of the classroom.

Most of us are averse to change, whether it be a change of job, or residence, or marital status, or even a change of attitude. And the COVID-19 crisis has changed just about everything. These days, we often hear about a “new normal” in terms of the current pandemic: When, if ever, will things get back to the way they used to be?

GROW YOUR BUSINESS Advertise with us. 203-317-2312

(AP Photo/Charles Rex Arbogast)

Having been exposed to all this, the public attitude is changing, and at a pace seldom seen in opinion polls. In one recent poll (The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research), about half of adults said they believe police violence against the public is a "very" or "extremely " serious problem — up from only about a third since last September. Today, 61 percent say police are more likely to use deadly force against Blacks than whites. Four years ago, that figure was 49 percent. And 65 percent say that police officers who cause injury or death in the course of their job are

treated too leniently by the justice system, compared with only 41 percent in 2015. The percentage saying the country spends too little on improving conditions of Black Americans has also risen quickly, from 30 percent in 2014 to 52 percent now. These trends are “suggestive that there's been something brewing for the past couple of years that could well be leading to lasting change,” according to Jennifer Benz, the deputy director of the AP-NORC Center.

As we proceed toward

the fall, we will continue to receive input from our educational partners, students, and families and will continue to work toward providing the best opportunities for our greatest resource—the students in the State of Connecticut. Next Steps LEAs have two items they will be responding to the CSDE about: Before July 24, 2020, LEAs will be expected to submit their fall reopening plans to the CSDE. Before July 17, 2020, LEAs will be expected to complete a survey that is designed to combine SDE planning efforts with LEA efforts regarding the crucial need to estimate the fiscal implications for the reopening of schools in the fall. From there, the CSDE will work with LEAs on an asneeded basis to ensure they have the support and tools needed to reopen in the fall.

We watched Floyd die in Minneapolis at the hands of police. We watched Rayshard Brooks gunned down at a Wendy’s. We saw Ahmaud Arbery get killed while jogging, by self-appointed neighborhood “guardians.”

In this June 19 photo, people attend a peaceful rally in Chicago to mark Juneteenth. The holiday celebrates the day in 1865 that enslaved black people in Galveston, Texas, learned they had been freed from bondage, more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation.

203222_v3

But there seems to be another “new normal” on the horizon, and it gives reason for hope. In the wake of the killing of George Floyd by police, Americans' opinions about police brutality and racial injustice have moved dramatically, and at a speed that pollsters almost never see. The demonstrations and riots that followed Floyd’s death are clearly part of the reason, but another part is the number of documented cases of Black people being killed or abused by police, or by self-styled white vigilantes — documented mainly because so many people now carry smartphones.

Within Adapt, Advance, Achieve exists the newly released: Sensible Assessment Practices for 2020-2021 and beyond. This document was designed to offer guidance to educators including general education teachers, special education teachers, interventionists, instructional specialists, and related service providers on how they can “assess” their incoming students when schools re-open without necessarily having to “test” them.

Bronze statue honors ‘Black governor’ Thomas Breen New Haven Independent

A seven-foot-tall bronze statue of William “King” Lanson will soon stand along the Farmington Canal — giving a permanent, public, and highly visible form to a Black New Havener who helped build the modern city. The Lanson statue represents the culmination of a decade’s worth of advocacy by the Amistad Committee, working in recent years with the City Plan Department to make the memorial a reality. The public artwork will honor the early 19th century local engineer, entrepreneur, and Black political leader who freed himself from slavery, built a section of the Farmington Canal, and constructed an extension of Long Wharf that allowed for the local port to rival New York’s. He was also elected “Black governor” in 1825, helped found what is now Dixwell Congregational Church, owned land and ran businesses on what is now Wooster

Editorial From A13

Square — and, after encountering opposition from white authorities and the business establishment, died in the poorhouse.

By contrast, opinion on other social issues often changes much more gradually. It took 30 years for public support of the right of gay and lesbian people to marry to rise from 11 percent (1988), to 68 percent (2018). And it took 45 years for support for legalizing marijuana to go from 19 percent (1973) to 61 percent (2018).

The plan is for the statue to be unveiled on Sept. 26 on a grassy, cityowned plot near where the Farmington Canal meets Lock Street, in between the Yale Health Center and Yale’s Benjamin Franklin and Pauli Murray Colleges. According to a presentation by City Plan Director Aïcha Woods during The head and, behind, the body of a Cultural Affairs Commission the new William Lanson statue meeting last week, the city-comcoming to the Farmington Canal. missioned statue will be one part Courtesy of Dana King of an “interpretative landscape” and larger memorial along the Farmington Canal that will be what he did for New Haven.” “dedicated to the history of Amistad Committee founder Al William Lanson.” Marder agreed, and broadened “He was so committed to building that lens by noting that the Lanson up New Haven,” Oakland-based statue signifies more than the acsculptor Dana King said about complishments of a single individLanson during a recent interview ual: “Our purpose in honoring about the sculpture she’s been William Lanson is in part to working on since March. “He did demonstrate how our country was so by the sweat of his labor, backfashioned, and the contributions breaking labor. It’s just mind-bogthat African Americans have made gling how hard he worked and over many years to our country.”

Federal and state lawmakers, governors, mayors and even police chiefs have joined the chorus calling for change: change in the way police officers are recruited, trained, supervised and disciplined. Change in some of the basic ways we approach policing in this country. Given all that has happened since the first Africans arrived on these shores as slaves, 401 years ago — and all that has happened this year, particularly in regard to the issue of race — we may be heading into another “new normal,” one that is positive, and long overdue. — Originally published in the Record-Journal
