School district racks up honors
FRANKIES EXPANDS
The Plainville school district was recognized with several awards from the Connecticut Association of Boards of Education, including CABE’s highest leadership recognition, the Board of Distinction Award - Level 2. The Board of Distinction Award is presented to school districts which meet a comprehensive set of criteria in board leadership/student achievement, board member professional development, policy, community relations, and related organizational leadership. Wallingford area residents are learning what Plainville denizens have known for awhile now: Frankies serves up some good grub. Scott Castico, the brother of Jacob Castico, who owns and runs Frankies’ Plainville location with their father, Armand Castico, has opened a Frankies at 866 N. Colony Road in Wallingford.

Wastewater overflow hit Q River By Michael Gagne Record-Journal staff
MERIDEN — Officials reported an estimated 1.37 million gallons of combined rain and untreated wastewater was discharged into the Quinnipiac River as a result of the heavy rainfall that inundated the area on July 9.
The overflow spilled from the city’s sewer treatment plant on Evansville Avenue into the Quinnipiac. Officials did not provide an estimate for how much untreated sewage flowed into the river, but said it had been highly diluted by the rainwater, which accounted for most of the overflow. See River, A6
Only boards which have achieved Level 1 distinction at least twice in the prior four years are eligible to receive the Board of Distinction honor. This is the 12th consecutive year the Plainville Board of Education has received this award. The district also received several 2021 CABE Bonnie B. Carney Awards of Excellence for Educational Communications. Plainville Community Schools was recognized for the Superintendent’s Showcase Emoji Classroom (Special Project AV category), the Linden Street School Principal’s Twitter Account (Social Media category), the Plainville Community Schools Business Brief (Annual Report category), the Plainville Adult and Continuing Education Program Guide (Course Selection Guide category), and the Plainville Board of Education Community Letter newsletter (Newsletter category).

Anyone who regularly enjoys recreation on the water likely has had a close call. Bodies of water are unpredictable, it’s never the same lake, stream or ocean twice. Conditions can change rapidly and this spring and summer have been especially volatile when it comes to weather and how that may affect waterways. Sadly, two teens died this month while going for a swim in the Farmington River. While the official investigation is still underway, it appears to be a drowning situation. Lucas Brewer, 15, a student at Plainville High, and Anthony Nagore, 17, who was visiting family in Plainville, went for a swim July 15 and didn’t return home. Their bodies were found July 19. A heartbreaking outcome for their family, friends, schoolmates and community. The search for the two young men was called off several times as strong currents and high water made the effort too dangerous for search and recovery teams, even after the Army Corps of Engineers tried to reduce the water flow from the Colebrook Dam. Since then, a spokesman for the state Department of Energy and Environmental Protection’s police force has urged people to avoid waterways, engorged and dangerous due to all the rain. Water levels are six or seven times higher than usual.
Most of us have experienced that moment of misjudgment, that time we get caught off guard during what began as a fun outing. Perhaps you’ve taken the kayak for a paddle and out of nowhere a thunderstorm swells into the sky, chasing you back to shore wondering if you can dodge the lightning. At the beach, recent storms have brought enticing waves, a bit bigger and wilder than usual. But with those storms, the waves can get too rough and the undertow stronger than usual. Even strong swimmers may find themselves out of their comfort zone. When it gets hot, the impulse to get in the water and cool off is strong. But some of us haven’t been out to the lake or the shore or even the pool in a while. Our skills may be rusty, our equipment in need of a check. Depending on the situation, other factors may have to be considered, such as how much alcohol has been consumed, or whether there’s a lifeguard on duty, or who is watching the toddler. Summer gives us so much to look forward to, maybe more so this year as we come out of seclusion. But the loss of Anthony and Lucas casts a shadow over these days that should be carefree. While the warning their death generates may not comfort those who loved them, it’s a warning that should wake us up to making a serious check of water conditions and the safety of the situation, each and every time.

Uptick in infection rates spurs concerns By Mary Ellen Godin Record-Journal staff
statewide, an increase of eight patients since Wednesday and the highest number in several months, according to the state Department of Public Health.
A top hospital official warned last week that the state is experiencing a “pandemic of the unvaccinated” playing out in its beds and intensive care units. Dr. Ajay Kumar, the executive vice president and chief clinical officer for Hartford HealthCare, told reporters Thursday, July 22 that the “hospital systems are concerned about the unvaccinated individuals as they’ve seen higher hospitalizations and mortality at this time.” Hospitalizations in the Hartford HealthCare system have risen in recent weeks from 12 patients on July 11, to 15 patients on July 16. On July 22 that number reached 23 patients with five patients in the intensive care unit. Four patients are hospitalized with COVID-19 at MidState Medical Center in Meriden. There were 66 patients being treated for COVID-19
The state has seen an uptick in its infection rate, primarily due to the highly transmissible Delta variant, now the dominant strain in the U.S. and responsible for 80 percent of the state’s infections, he said. “Because the (Delta variant) is highly transmissible, the best defense we have is to continue to get vaccinated,” Kumar said. The network has also seen breakthrough infections among the vaccinated, Kumar said, but he stressed that they shouldn’t be viewed as a sign the vaccines don’t work. The severity of illness is significantly lower in those vaccinated, he said. “We are primarily seeing the unvaccinated in the hospitals,” Kumar said. “If I’m vaccinated, I can still get COVID. We all need to know that there is a 95 percent efficacy against the likelihood of death. Vaccines will reduce your mortality.” The ages of those currently hospitalized range from young adults to patients in their seventies, Kumar said. He doesn’t recommend the state re-implement mask mandates but asks vaccinated people to wear a mask when indoors around others with unknown status.
10% Senior Discount
Kumar said the level of transmission between a vaccinated person and unvaccinated person isn’t well known, but is less than if both people are unvaccinated.

state’s Sewage Spill Right-toKnow Statute, which became law this year, a similar spill would require notifications to not only state authorities, but elected and health officials in municipalities downstream. The change goes into effect October 1. If it had been in effect, Wallingford and North Haven municipal and health leaders also would have been notified. Another component of that law’s revision requires DEEP to develop a system for notifying local residents by December 1. State Rep. Mary Mushinsky, D-Wallingford, described discharges such as the one that had occurred in Meriden as “a common problem in the urban rivers of Connecticut.” Local officials had previously acknowledged a need to reduce wastewater overflows. The latest incident occurred with the city in the midst of a project aimed at tackling the issue. That $38 million project aims to complete upgrades to the Evansville Avenue plant by early next year. One of its goals is reducing the overflow of untreated sewage from the facility into the Quinnipiac during significant weather events like the recent storm. Another goal is reducing the levels of phosphorus present in treated wastewater that is pumped into the river. According to officials, the overflows would be reduced because instead of spilling over into the river they would be diverted into two large concrete digester tanks already located at the facility. Those digesters can hold up to 2.5 million gallons of sewage but currently sit empty. Under the city’s plan, sewage would be stored during a storm event. After stormwaters subside engineers would reverse the water flow, treating the stored water, before it gets pumped into the river.

PLAINVILLE- Anthony Robert Nagore tragically passed away at the age of 17, on July 19, 2021 in Farmington, CT. He was born May 14, 2004 in Tucson, Arizona. Anthony called many places home over the course of his life. He lived in Tucson, AZ, Bucklin, KS and spent the last three summers in Plainville, CT. Anthony had friends and family who loved him dearly in many states. Last year he attended Immaculate Heart High School in Tucson, and was slated to return to Bucklin High School in KS this fall. Anthony loved greatly and all who knew him called Anthony a friend. Family and friends looked forward to seeing Anthony’s smile and receiving an intense hug. He was adventurous and enjoyed time outdoors either playing basketball, running, or spending time with his siblings and many cousins. Anthony was a fun loving, yet hard-working young man.
