Teachers unions disagree ‘Rising Star’ is new Food Services Director on delaying start of school Ashley Onion, formerly the Food Services Director for Watertown Public Schools, has been named Food Services Director for Plainville Community Schools, Superintendent of Schools Steven LePage announced.

By Matthew Zabierek Record-Journal staff

The state’s largest teachers union is calling for Connecticut to follow other neighboring states by pushing the start of school back two weeks until midSeptember, but the union representing Meriden teachers is taking a differing stance.

Onion’s first day on the job was Monday, Aug. 24. “I am extremely excited to transition to Plainville Community Schools. I look forward to continuing and expanding health and wellness initiatives within school nutrition and districtwide,” said Onion.

The Connecticut Education Association, which boasts more than 160 local affiliates, released its own school reopening guidelines last week. It recommended delaying the start of school by two weeks or until mid-September to “to improve and expand remote learning.”

Ashley Onion, Plainville

“Starting school in August with very high temperatures and humidity, no air conditioning in most classrooms, and trying to enforce mask-wearing for five or more hours in those conditions is not practicable. Instead, use the time to refine and provide training for enhanced distance learning,” CEA’s Safe Learning Plan reads. Rhode Island and Massachusetts recently decided to push the start of school back a couple of weeks, the plan notes. CEA affiliates around the state include unions in Wallingford, Southington, Cheshire, Berlin, Plainville, North Haven, Middlefield and Durham. See Unions, A11

Onion served as Food SerCommunity Schools’ new Food vices Director in Watertown Services Director. since 2019. Previous to that, she served as a Registered Dietitian for the Meriden school system.

Aug. 31: Overdose Awareness Day

Onion holds a degree in Nutrition and Dietetics from the University of Saint Joseph and completed a dietetic internship at Meredith College in Raleigh, North Carolina.

The Connecticut State Medical Examiner confirms there were 1,200 accidental drug intoxication deaths in 2019. This figure is up from 1,017 fatalities in 2018.

Onion is a member of the Academy of Nutrition, the Connecticut Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, the School Nutrition Association and the School Nutrition Association of Connecticut. Additionally, she received the School of Nutrition Association of Connecticut’s Rising Star Award in 2018, and was recently named Secretary of the School Nutrition Association of Connecticut for the 2020-21 school year. See Director, A16

By Terry Sutton Special to The Citizen

Of the 1,200 drug overdose deaths in 2019, 1,127 of the victims had opioids in their system. Of those, 970 had ingested the synthetic drug fentanyl. OD deaths have risen significantly in recent years. In 2012, 357 people in Connecticut died from drug overdoses.

Berlin Police Lt. Steve Solek said in 2019 law enforcement and emergency medical services responded to 17 drug overdoses in town. “Five resulted in death,” Solek said. “Four of the deaths were related to opioids; (such as) heroin, fentanyl. The other one was related to cocaine. “Overall the majority of overdoses we respond to are related to opioids … heroin, fentanyl, oxycodone, or any combination of them.” See Overdose, A14

Letters to the Editor Editor : Information has been provided that makes it appear as though the vote on Superintendent Steven LePage’s raise was unanimous. In actuality it was an 8-1 decision. As I was the only dissenting vote, I feel an obligation to explain why. My decision was solely based on the current state of our national and local economies. People are uncertain about their futures and some are struggling to put food on the table for their children.

Plainville's unemployment rate was 9.3 percent back in May, when we were determining the increase, while the average wage increase was 2.25 percent for other town employees. I could not in good faith vote for the increase knowing that people are dealing with lost jobs, forced quarantine, school children at home and an uncertain future. It was out of touch and unfair to put that on the backs of the citizens of our town.

The intermittent heavy rain has also been a factor. The trimming of trees after the storm also puts a lot of stress on trees. “Another thing that I’ve noticed is a lot of this has happened on trees that have been trimmed,” Lessor said. Lastly, bug infestations and pests can also impact trees. There is some good news, however.

Unions From A1

Teachers in Meriden are represented by the American Federation of Teachers Connecticut, a statewide labor federation with more than 90 local unions throughout the state. Lauren Mancini-Averitt, president of the Meriden Federation of Teachers, doesn’t agree with the call to push the start of school back. “We’ve done everything to make this opening as safe as we can, and we all know it comes with risk. But it will in two weeks from now, too,” she said. Meriden’s first full day of school for students is scheduled for Sept. 8, with halfdays scheduled for Sept. 3 and 4. For cash-strapped districts with fewer resources, like Meriden, Mancini-Averitt said delaying the start of school may not be ideal because it could lead to more spending. “The two weeks does not help with the fact that there’s a huge disparity in the state of Connecticut between the have and have-not districts,’ she said.

Thursday, August 27, 2020

At a meeting last month, Meriden education officials told the city’s Board of Education that their plan to reopen schools is estimated to cost $2.3 million. “Districts have spent an exorbitant amount of money, and a two-week push back for the districts that don’t have any money, it’s not going to help them,” Mancini-Averitt said. “This plan has cost Meriden Public Schools and other districts a massive amount of money, and that two weeks is just going to make it so that we spend even more.” A few days after CEA released its detailed reopening recommendations this week, the American Federation of Teachers Connecticut distributed a list of 13 “safety principles” for reopening, which included a lot of the same safety measures that CEA is lobbying for. The list did not explicitly call for delaying the start of school, however.

Matt O’Connor, a spokesman for AFT Connecticut, said the organization’s 13 requested safety requirements “leaves room” for local unions to demand delaying the start of school if a district isn’t able to meet any of the 13 requirements.

41st Annual Apple Harvest race will look a bit different

This year, due to the pandemic, Southington’s hometown race will be held in a virtual setting. Participants of all ages can run, walk or hike.

“The running community has been challenged in 2020 with many races being cancelled. We are excited to continue our great tradition and help the greater community at the same time,” said Mark Pooler, chief executive officer of the Southington-Cheshire Community YMCA. “The Apple Harvest road race enhances our abil-

ity to give back to our community, with proceeds going to support individuals and families impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.” The first 1,000 people to reg-

ister will receive a speciallydesigned t-shirt, and all participants will receive a bib and certificate. For more information or to register for the race, visit sc-

Can I work on my laptop in the building? Right now, the intention of in-house library service is for users to make short trips in and out to browse the collection; print, copy, fax or scan items; look up information; or ask reference questions. To discourage extended visits and to control the number of people in the building at one time, virtually all library seating and tables have been temporarily placed in storage, with just a handful of chairs available at computer workstations and for those who can only stand for short periods of time.

This mandate is to maximize the number of users that can access computers throughout the day, and to discourage extended visits in the building. Computer users are required to clean and sanitize their workstation after use with the cleaning materials made available to them.

To prevent the spread of germs, the public does not have direct access to the copy/fax/scan/print machine; however, reference staff is happy to handle these needs. All computer printouts will be handed to users by a staff member. Curbside pickup of printouts is also available if materials are emailed to reference staff. Please call ahead for details.

One-on-one computer assistance or instruction is extremely difficult under social distancing guidelines.

“The state must revise school reopening plans to protect our school communities, especially in light of new reports confirming that children can readily transmit COVID-19 and may be drivers of the pandemic,” CEA President Jeff Leake said in a statement. “Remote learning is still the safest option. Any return to the classroom requires additional precautions, including strict social distancing and access to COVID-19 testing, that are not currently included in the state plan.”

That discrepancy brought a halt to the cohort conditioning that had been going on since July 6 and allowed teams to work out in groups of 10.
