Behavior analyst honored

“Mr. Thomas DiCorleto exemplified reaching out to those in need and helping them achieve more than they dreamed was possible. I am humbled to be

the recipient of the Thomas DiCorleto award and carry out his legacy as I continue my commitment to students, their families and my colleagues,” Kiley said. “Together we work to build new opportunities for the children of Plainville Community Schools.” District colleagues Agnieszka Petlik and Julie Garceau nominated Kiley for the award, which was developed

to honor the Farmington Valley Directors’ beloved colleague, Tom DiCorleto, Kiley former Director of Pupil Services in Granby, and his lifelong commitment to the service of students with special needs. See Kiley, A13

Meet Principal Wallowitz Jeff Wallowitz, formerly an elementary school principal in the West Hartford school system, has been named principal of Linden Street School. Wallowitz was selected through an extensive search process conducted by the Linden Principal Steering Committee, comprised of Linden teachers, staff, parents and district administration.

“The transition to the Plainville Community Schools has been amazing. So many staff and families have reached out with a kind welcome. The sense of community is palpable and it has become immediately evident how much people care about Linden School and all its children,” said Wallowitz. “I can’t wait to meet the entire school family and get working on what should be an interesting

school year. Linden seems like a very special place and I am Wallowitz honored to be a part of it.” Wallowitz holds an Administrative Sixth Year Certificate from Sacred See Wallowitz, A13

Bears entering homes at unprecedented rate By Devin Leith-Yessian Record-Journal staff

Wildlife encounters have been spiking thus far this year, including as many bears entering peoples’ homes in June as all of 2019 combined. “Some of these interactions have been serious, including bears entering homes and gravely injuring both leashed and unleashed dogs,” says a statement from the Department of Energy and Environmental Protection. “Already in 2020 (through July 8) DEEP has received more reports of bears entering homes (25) than in any previous year and we are on track to triple the average number of home entries of 2018 and 2019.” Bears rarely harm humans and most local interactions with them involve damaged bird feeders and tipped over garbage containers and grills, said Cheshire Animal Control Officer April Leiler. When she does respond to a call, it’s usually to ensure that the bear doesn’t make it onto a major road like Route 10, where it can be struck by a vehicle. “We haven't had any real issues with bears. We do sometimes have them getting into unse-

cured trash and we do have them ripping down bird feeders,” she said. Cheshire only has a few bears living in the area, Leiler said, but since it’s a more densely populated region they tend to be spotted more often. Residents should still be taking precautions See Bears, A13

Street closure working for Southington businesses nicipal parking lot driveway.

A portion of Center Street remains closed to vehicles, a boost to some local businesses that use the sidewalk and street for outdoor dining. Town officials approved the closure of lower Center Street to vehicles in late May. Last month, the town’s Long-Term Recovery Committee voted to keep a portion of the street closed until Gov. Ned Lamont allows restaurants to go back to full capacity indoors. Restaurants are restricted to half-capacity indoors, can’t open their bars and have to maintain six feet between diners outdoors. Police put up barricades blocking off Center Street between Liberty and High streets. That still allows traffic up and down Center Street between Main Street and Center Court, the mu-

Moran said the curbside business is crucial in making up for the losses due to other restrictions, such as re-

“During the day, my Saturdays and Sundays have been good,” she said. “It’s been like pre-COVID business.” Come Visit The “Newly Renovated Hidden Valley”

Malloy joined with the owners of three other lower Center Street businesses, The Groggy Frogg, Ideal Tavern and Nonna Artemisia’s Pizza, to ask the town to close the road. Other businesses further up Center Street wanted to leave the road open to allow for curbside pickup.

staff hopes to offer more virtual programming for adults, teens and kids soon. I returned my items in the bookdrop yesterday, but they still appear as checked out on my account. All returned materials are quarantined for 24 hours before they are checked in by staff. Items will not accrue fines for the time they are quarantined. Why isn’t the library open until 9 p.m., like it was before? With no evening programs or meetings taking place, and with social distancing restrictions limiting the frequency of routine library visits, there will be greatly reduced foot traffic after typical work hours. An earlier closing allows extra time for additional daily cleaning and sanitizing tasks to be completed. I have a complaint about these changes and restrictions. With whom can I discuss? Expressing concerns about the library on social media leads to misinformation that takes a great deal of time and energy to correct. Should anyone have concerns or complaints regarding library business, it is most effective to directly contact Library Director Trish Tomlinson, ttomlinson@ libraryconnection.info; 860793-1446.

Mosquito infected with West Nile virus found in Newington

FRESH FOOD FRIDAYS

NEWINGTON (AP) — A mosquito infected with the West Nile virus has been found in Newington, the first sign of the virus in Connecticut this season. The insect was trapped on July 8, according to the Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station, which is responsible for trapping, identifying, and testing mosquitoes for West Nile and other viruses.

The positive test is the first among 60,366 mosquitoes tested so far this summer. Scientists have discovered another virus, the Jamestown Canyon virus, in five mosquitoes that were trapped in June in North Stonington, Waterford and Westport.

The disease associated with the Jamestown Canyon virus usually causes mild symptoms such as fever, headache, and fatigue, but on rare occasions can lead to encephalitis. The disease caused by West Nile has similar symptoms, with about one in 150 infected people developing a serious, sometimes fatal, illness, according to the state Department of Public Health. Scientist say they usually see the West Nile virus begin to appear in Connecticut mosquitoes in July and the more serious Eastern Equine Encephalitis in August.

have more space for outdoor dining. Customers gravitate to the pub’s two patios, and some customers are more comfortable outside. “There’s a couple people who prefer to sit outside,” Brummett said. “It’s going to take a little bit of time for things to go back to normal. Everyone has their own comfort zone.” The town allows outdoor dining from April until the end of October. Malloy hopes that lower Center Street will be closed during that time in future years. “It’s working out,” she said. Michael DelSanto, a town councilor and recovery committee chairman, said he was glad the closure was working for many restaurants, but that a recurring closure was a larger undertaking. This year’s closure was a response to the pandemic and an attempt to help struggling restaurants. “It’s definitely up for discussion, but it’s not an overnight process,” he said.

to deter bears from approaching residential areas, however, and she walks callers through the recommendations DEEP has to remove attractants like food outdoors, and even indoors in cases where bears are more of a hazard. “If you have the slider open and you’re making brownies and there’s just a screen between them and the deck and the kitchen they’re going to come in,” she said.

According to an interactive map on the DEEP website, over 5,000 bear sightings in Connecticut have been reported thus far in 2020. Most of the sightings occur in the northwest of the state, with Avon, Farmington, Simsbury and Torrington each reporting over 200 sightings.

Plainville. Nearby, 17 sightings have been reported in Southington, five have been reported in New Britain and four have been reported in Berlin. Leiler said most of the calls for animal sightings she’s received this year have been for bobcats, coyotes and foxes around their homes. Since instances of humans and pets being injured by wildlife is so rare, she recommends homeowners who want to deter them from their property to haze them by throwing tennis balls and creating a racket with pots and pans.

“Black bears should never

be fed — either intentionally or unintentionally,” said Jenny Dickson, DEEP Wildlife Division director. “Bears that are attracted to homes by easily-accessible foods lose their fear of humans. Such bears spend more time in neighborhoods and near people, increasing risks to public safety, the likelihood of property damage, and the possibility that the bears may be hit and killed by vehicles.”

Kiley began her career as a special education teacher in Plainville in 2006 and has served in her current position as a BCBA/LBA with Plainville Community

Schools since 2012. She is a member of The Connecticut Association for Behavior Analysis, previously served as an adjunct professor at the University of Saint Joseph and served on the Board of Directors for Autism Families Connecticut.

The DEEP statement says that removing food that attracts bears is the most important step to making one’s home less attractive to scavengers like bears, since they have a strong sense of smell and can remember a food source for years. Not only will they return to homes where they were able to successfully find unsecured food in the past, over time bears will lose their fear of humans. Regularly cleaning trash bins, removing bird feeders between late March and November, avoiding leaving pet food outdoors and keeping dogs on a leash when outdoors, can all curtail interactions with bears.

“She is always looking for ways that students can overcome obstacles and reach their goals. She extends herself and shares her expertise with all those who need it. She is known and respected across the district because of her willingness to contribute and ease in doing so. Christina has high expectations, not only of herself, but also of those around her because she truly believes that when given a clear plan and the necessary support, students can succeed.”

Kiley, who holds a certification in Intermediate Administration, graduate-level certification in behavior analysis and Comprehensive Special Education, K-12, earned an Intermediate Administrator Certification from Sacred Heart University, Certificate in Applied Behavior Analysis from the University of Saint Joseph, Masters of Arts in Special Education from the University of Saint Joseph and a Bachelor of Arts in Visual Arts from Pine Manor College.
