CAMP INVENTION

Police said 15-year-old Lucas Brewer and 17-year-old Anthony Nagore went swimming shortly after 1 p.m. Thursday, July 15 in the river in Avon, despite a local resident’s warning to them about dangerous conditions. Authorities said they found one of the teens’ vehicles near the swimming site, as well as their cellphones and some of their clothing.

Capt. Keith Williams of the state’s Environmental Conservation Police said first responders searching for the teens were “going on a hunch” and focused their search downstream, given the current high water levels caused by recent heavy rains. They discovered the bodies of Brewer and Nagore on Monday afternoon near the Farmington and Burlington town line. Williams said the teens’ deaths should be a warning to others. “Please stay off the water,” he said during a briefing in Farmington. See Teenager, A6

Local officials oppose extending Lamont’s emergency powers The General Assembly voted last week for a 44-word resolution extending Gov. Ned Lamont’s emergency powers through Sept. 30, making Connecticut among the last in the northeast under a COVID-19 state of emergency.

The bodies of two missing teenagers who authorities believe went swimming in the swollen Farmington River were discovered on Monday, roughly a mile-and-ahalf from where they were last seen.

Brewer was a Plainville resident. Nagore was visiting family in town. Their families reported them missing around 5 p.m. on July 15 when they failed to return home. Search efforts began that evening.

Lamont has lifted nearly all restrictions imposed under his emergency authority since March 9, 2020, with the most visible and contentious exception being a requirement for mask wearing by the unvaccinated in schools and other indoor public places.

Plainville Community Schools, in partnership with the National Inventors Hall of Fame, was pleased to offer the acclaimed Camp Invention program in town this summer. Open to youngsters entering grade 5 this year, Camp Invention provided opportunities for open-ended exploration of science, technology, engineering and more. Children participated in a Brenna Salzillo. variety of hands-on activities while collaborating to think creatively about solving realworld challenges. Pictured in the top photo are Zaid Aldhowaer and Johnathon Carnes.

Plainville’s representatives in Hartford – Republicans Henri Martin and William Petit – voted no on extending Lamont’s emergency powers. "There is no longer a public health emergency related to the pandemic that warrants the continuation of these emergency orders until Sept. 30 that the legislative branch isn't equipped to

handle," state Rep. Petit said in a press release. "We swore to uphold the constitution and in order to do so need three equal participating branches of government. And right now with the continuation of these emergency powers that isn't the case." "Connecticut remains one of the most highly vaccinated states in the nation and as a result, many of our state agencies, businesses and residents have returned back to normal,” Petit added. “The legislature has the ability to deal with laws which need attention and the governor can create See Powers, A13

So, students who received their first dose on Tuesday and their second dose in August will be fully protected on Aug. 24, the week many schools reopen.

Regulators finalize fines for utilities On Wednesday, July 14, The Public Utilities Regulatory Authority, or PURA, gave final approval to a $28.6 million civil penalty against Eversource and a $1.2 million civil penalty against United Illuminating. The penalties are in addition to profit reductions ordered by PURA that will cost Eversource about $31 million a year and

United Illuminating about $1.3 million a year. Both companies have defended their responses to the storm, which left many customers without power for more than a week. Both are appealing the profit reduction orders, but not the civil penalties. In Connecticut, more than 630,000 Eversource customers and more than 113,000 United Illuminating customers lost power during the storm. PURA said the companies failed to comply with performance standards including not deploying enough line workers. PURA also said the companies violated reporting requirements by not disclosing minor accidents involving workers.

Connecticut’s juvenile justice system needs an overhaul By Stephen Knight

course, he allegedly left the scene. Fortunately, this alleged criminal was identified, and police found him hiding in a closet in his alleged home.

On June 29 at 7 p.m., a 53year-old jogger named Henryk Gudelski was allegedly murdered by a 17-year-old car thief. The alleged murder weapon was a stolen Audi that this punk was allegedly driving. Allegedly, he lost control of the car and ended up plowing into the jogger, who was on the sidewalk. Of

charges including: assault with a knife, assault, possession of narcotics, reckless driving, evading responsibility, larceny (stolen motor vehicles), robbery, and violation of probation. This terrible event should outrage every state legislator in Connecticut, but only the Republican minority has reacted, demanding a special session to address juvenile crime. Here is part of their statement, published June 30 on cthousegop.com: “Nobody serving in the legislature, and certainly nobody on the Republican side of the aisle, wakes up each day rooting for detentions and convictions, but the fact of the matter is that young people understand that they live in a state where they’ll face few consequences for their criminal behavior,” said Deputy Republican Leader Rosa Rebimbas, former

ranking member of the Judiciary Committee. “When a 17-year-old kid is arrested twice in two different stolen vehicles within five hours, it should have been clear to Democrats that we needed to act. Given today’s news, that a 17-year-old with a rap sheet of serious crimes has been arrested in the New Britain case, it should be clearer than ever. Nibbling around the edges with studies, forums and platitudes isn’t enough — people who live in the many communities affected by these crimes deserve meaningful action. Victims deserve solutions.” House Republicans put forward a solid group of proposals aimed at improving a juvenile justice system that seems to allow budding career criminals to get off with a pat on the head and the mild admonition: “Now don’t do it again, Sonny.” These proposals, also out-

the DCF in the investigation of family circumstances of a repeat offender charged with stealing a car or any offense involving a deadly weapon; n Broadening criteria for a court to deem a juvenile a risk to public safety on a second offense instead of a third; n Amending

Henryk Gudelski, the New Britain jogger, was a victim of a crime, to be sure, but he was also a victim of a juvenile justice system with serious flaws. If our system is so full of holes that a 17-yearold could go on a 3 ½-year crime spree unpunished, then we need a “Henryk’s Law” that will address them.

common sense executive orders when needed and the legislature can address those orders if necessary.” Despite unanimous opposition from House Republicans and nine House Democrats, the House voted 73-56 in favor of allowing the governor to continue his executive authority. This authorization is the sixth extension of this authority since the original declaration went into effect on March 10, 2020. Concurrent debates in the House and Senate took place Wednesday, July 14. Passage came on votes of 73-56 in the House and 1915 in the Senate, with nine House Democrats and four Senate Democrats joining the GOP minority in opposition — the strongest evidence to date of internal opposition to the Democratic governor over his powers.

Prior to casting his no vote, state Sen. Henri Martin stated in a press release, “This is a straightforward vote which the Democrats are trying to cloud with threats of losing federal funding and slowmoving government. Plain and simple, this is a power grab by the majority. Based on the science, and even based on the actions of surrounding states, the ’emergency’ has waned and it’s time to start returning all three branches of government to their normal checks and balances and give the people back their normal lives.” “I am proud to be joined by my senate Republican colleagues today in taking a unified stand for representative government,” Martin added. “I was elected to serve the 100,000 people of the 31st District and it is unacceptable that the majority continues to shirk their responsibilities and allow the Governor to make blanket decisions.”
