2 local pilots among victims of crash FARMINGTON (AP) — Four people who died in a small jet crash in Connecticut were identified Friday as a Boston couple who are both doctors and two local pilots.

Soggy start to September The state was deluged with heavy rains and flooding Sept. 1 and 2, the remnants of Hurricane Ida, which dumped more than half a foot of rain on much of

Connecticut and wreaked havoc across the Northeast. Seymour got the highest amount of rainfall in the

state, 8.72 inches, with Ida's final punch hitting a stationary weather front and lingering over southern New England for about a day, said Gary Lessor,

meteorologist with the Weather Center at Western Connecticut State University. See Storm, A6

SEPT. 11, 2001

Let us remember. Let us be one. (This editorial ran in the Record-Journal one year after the 9/11 attack. Saturday, Sept. 11, 2021 marks the 20-year anniversary of the assault on our nation.) Moments of great personal and national tragedy are as etched in our hearts and minds as the presidential likenesses on Mount Rushmore. September 11, 2001 is past, but its legacy today continues to be acutely felt both domestically and internationally.

This day, one year ago, darkened the tone of political rhetoric and set the stage for the unfolding of a different way of living – a redefining of national security and a reassessment of how the rest of the world looks both to and at us. As the foundations of the World Trade Center were assaulted from the impact above, something fundamental about what it means to be an American shook and resonated within the pillars of our democratic

fortress. Our homeland had been assaulted in a way few would have thought possible. This day, one year ago, changed the focus of a presidential administration. The pressing national agenda before this moment suddenly yielded to the immediate mandate of dealing with an insidious enemy that caught us by surprise. Suddenly, the relative sense of immunity from atSee 9/11, A4

Police in Farmington said Courtney Haviland, 33, her husband, William Shrauner, 32, were passengers on the jet that crashed into a manufacturing company building Thursday morning, Sept. 2 shortly after takeoff from Robertson Airport in Plainville. The pilots were William O’Leary, 55, of Bristol, and Mark Morrow, 57, of Danbury, Farmington police Lt. Tim McKenzie said. “The Farmington Police Department extends their deepest condolences to the friends and family of the four passengers who died in this tragic crash,” McKenzie said in a statement. Investigators with the National Transportation Safety Board were at the scene of the fiery crash Friday. The cause remains under investigation.

Local siblings raise funds to benefit injured veterans This summer, Plainville siblings Michael Ahern, 11, and Kara Ahern, 13, presented a check for $31,733.66 to the Travis Mills Foundation. The gift marked the culmination of a fundraising drive spearheaded by the Aherns, co-presidents of Scoops for Troops.

over the past two years at various fundraising events coordinated by the Aherns and will cover the cost of week-long stays at the retreat for eight veterans and their families.

“Thanks to his amazing strength, courage, an incredible will to live, the heroic actions of the men in his unit, the prayers of thousands, and all the healthcare providers at the Walter Reed Army Medical Center, near Washington D.C., Travis remains on the road to recovery. Every day is a battle, but Travis continues to astound friends and family alike with his progress and with his amazing spirit.”

tack from beyond our oceans faded into the sunset of memory. On this day, one year ago, the nation became vulnerable, standing in amazement

at the devastation of buildings, planes and, especially, the thousands of lives abruptly ended. A sense of chaos permeated the air as a faceless, unknown enemy brought destruction upon icons of American financial, military and political strength.

Wall Street's tickertapes ceased their endless reporting of the country's economic lifeblood for a protracted period of time. The Pentagon's armor was dented. Planes and passengers were consumed in an unspeakable cloud of fire. Just 365 days ago, Americans witnessed acts of heroism and unflagging patriotism. How easily we can recall those brave and selfless firefighters, police officers and airplane passengers who instantly stepped up in an effort to save as many lives as possible. Those men and women who died in the cause of trying to save the lives of others brought tears to American eyes and a swelling of American pride. The deaths of thousands of

innocent civilians will be enshrined in the hearts of their families, friends and coworkers — sacrificial lambs at an altar of evil. The solemnity of last year's events will be echoed in a chorus of national unity against a common enemy whose craft is performed in the shadows of terror. The light of truth and patriotism must shine and prevail upon such forces. It is our nature, as Americans, to be beacons of democracy. The time is now, not one year ago. The task is to let all that is good about this country rise up from Ground Zero and touch the sky. Let us remember. Let us be one.

Tests show remote learning slowed progress The Connecticut Department of Education released results of the 2020-21 statewide assessments last week, providing a picture of student achievement since the 2018-19 school year. The Connecticut Mirror reports, “The department examined results from the state’s Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium (SBAC) exams, SAT School Day, Next Generation Science Standards Assessment (NGSS) and the Connecticut Alternate Assessment System. Because the pandemic

caused schools to shut down during the latter half of the 2019-20 school year — which led to the U.S. Department of Education waiving assessment requirements for that school year — the report does not include information from that period.” In the state Department of Education’s report on assessment results released Wednesday, Sept. 1, officials reported overall rates of student proficiency across Connecticut districts were lower during the 2020-21 school year than during 2018-2019

— especially for students in remote learning for all or part of the school year. A news release said test results showed students who had spent at least 75% of the school year attending school in-person lost the least amount of ground in academic achievement. Meanwhile, students who had attended school in person for less than 75% of the school year, or who had spent all or most of the year in remote learning “showed substantially weaker achievement and growth

during the pandemic,” the release said. The results “reinforce the state’s continued efforts to ensure students have access to in-person learning in the safest environments possible,” state Education Commissioner Charlene M. Russell-Tucker stated in the release.

The jet contacted the ground a short distance from the runway and crashed into a building at Trumpf Inc. The impact set off chemical fires inside the building. Two employees suffered minor injuries, officials said.

“I’ve said before how Teddy always stressed to me the importance of safety equipment in his racecar, whether it was what he was wearing, what he was sitting in, the steering wheel, or something else in the car. Helmets are expensive and I’m happy to be able to help drivers who may not have the best helmet or might be in need of a new helmet,” Wazorko Christopher said, adding that The TC Safety Initiative won’t stop with the helmet giveaway.
